The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 292 Encirclement and Suppression (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend monthly tickets)
Songjiang Mansion.

Hundreds of figures dressed in brocade and black shirts surrounded a courtyard.

There are Taiping Colonel, Taiping Commandant, and Taiping Cavalry without any embroidered words on their bodies.

The entire street had been cleared, with only people in the distance still peeking out.

The Supervisory Department has also been dispatched.

Led by the fourth-rank Inspector Wu Yiqi, they stopped the curious people at the end of the long street.

"Is this here?"

Su Mu held the hilt of the knife with his hand, expressionless.

Ever since Dongfang Liuyun got a glimpse of the secret, Su Mu has been working hard to change the disaster of Songjiang Prefecture being destroyed.

The remnants of the Xuanming Sect have been eliminated.

Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, was also killed.

The remaining hidden danger now is the mastermind who buried the thunder bomb in Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

After waiting for so many days, the mastermind behind this finally couldn't help but jump out.

As soon as Mingyi Marquis Zhang Songtao and Sword Sect Master Chen Beixuan left, they couldn't wait to check out the Leigonghong buried in the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

Dongfang Liuyun, who had been investigating secretly, noticed the other party's actions at the first moment.

Then Shi Ziran followed him and chased him all the way here.

Without any hesitation, Su Mu directly mobilized all the troops of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture and surrounded the place.

No matter who is hiding in the yard, he will definitely not be able to escape this time.

“I saw him go in with my own eyes.”

Shi Ziran said in a deep voice, "After that person went in, no one came out."

"Break the door, and kill anyone who resists."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Liuyun rushed forward.

boom!
He swung his sword with lightning speed, and the gate of the courtyard was instantly shattered into pieces.

Su Mu: "..."

Dongfang Liuyun is really eager for achievements.

But it’s better this way. With Dongfang Liuyun’s help, he can save himself some trouble.

Anyway, he was the pacification commissioner of the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture, and Dongfang Liuyun was his subordinate, so all the merits should be attributed to Su Mu.

Dongfang Liuyun rushed in first.

Following closely behind were a group of Taiping captains.

Even Yang Yunzhong, who had saved his life from the remnants of the Xuanming Sect, came. He limped in, leaning on a crutch in one hand and wielding a long sword in the other.

Behind him is the Taiping Commander.

Then it was the turn of Taiping Baiyi and Taiping Tiqi.

Su Mu, the pacification envoy, ended up being the last one.

It is rare for the Taiping Division of Songjiang Prefecture to carry out such a large-scale operation. The last time was when the Pure Land Sect branch was wiped out.

As for the time when they dealt with the Xuanming Sect, only a few people including Yang Yunzhong managed to make it.

It must be said that everyone gained a lot of merit in that operation to wipe out the Pure Land Sect branch, and it can be said that they had a great time.

Songjiang Prefecture was peaceful in the past, but there were no achievements to be gained. Having tasted the sweetness last time, this time everyone is vying for the lead, fearing that they will fall behind.

As for the dangers—

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. If you don't charge now, you will be killed by your comrades in a moment, and you will have no place to cry when you regret.

Soon, shouts, the collision of weapons, and the sounds of fighting were heard in the courtyard.

Su Mu slowly stepped over the threshold and saw a lot of corpses scattered in the yard.

People rushed out from all directions with knives in hand and fought with the people from the Taiping Division.

Those people are very fierce. Some are at the Rebirth Realm and some are at the Blood Transformation Realm. Their strength is indeed not weak.

But on the Taiping Division's side, the world's genius Dongfang Liuyun took action, and none of the other opponents could block his moves.

In a moment, Dongfang Liuyun had rushed from the front door to the back door, and then rushed back from the back door.

"All done!"

After two rounds of killing, there were still a few fish that escaped the net. Dongfang Liuyun did not compete with others for them, but came to Su Mu and said happily.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that there was no joy on Su Mu's face.

"Not really, right? Isn't it just that I didn't leave you a few heads?"

Dongfang Liuyun muttered.

Su Mu shook his head. He was not that stingy.

"Don't you think these people are too weak?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"too weak?"

Dongfang Liuyun said, "My Lord, you can't be so mean to others.

Although you are very strong, I am also a genius in the world after all. It is easy for me to deal with those villains, right? "

He didn't dare to say that he was stronger than Su Mu, but he was not weaker than Su Mu either.

Ranked among the world's geniuses, among the warriors under the age of 30 in Daxuan, Dongfang Liuyun can at least be ranked in the top five.

It’s not that the opponent is too weak, it’s that Dongfang Liuyun is too strong!
"I did not mean that."

Su Mu shook his head, "Just think about it, according to the secret you saw, Songjiang Prefecture will suffer a devastating disaster.

These people don’t seem to be that strong.”

The remnants of the Xuanming Sect, the monsters in the Demon Court, and those who buried the Thunder God in the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

Now these risk factors have been eliminated.

Speaking of which, apart from the corpse monsters raised by the remnants of the Xuanming Sect, which are still somewhat difficult to deal with, the other two parties are too weak.

Even if it was Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, he still had a long way to go to destroy Songjiang Prefecture.

Even if the thunder bombardments of these people were not discovered, it was impossible for Songjiang Prefecture to suffer a catastrophic disaster. At most, it would only cause a riot.

Although Songjiang Prefecture might suffer heavy losses in that case, it is still far from enough to destroy it.

Dongfang Liuyun understood what Su Mu meant, and the joy on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

When I think about it this way, these people do seem a little weak.

"You mean, there's someone else behind this?"

Dongfang Liuyun frowned and said.

"do not know."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "Let's check where this place is and how these people buried the Thunder God in the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture."

…………

Just when Su Mu led his men to surround the courtyard.

A few streets away from the courtyard, a group of people quietly emerged from the alley. The person leading them was none other than Chen Yougong.

"What a great Su Mu! I have taken you seriously enough, but I didn't expect that you are even more terrifying than I thought."

Looking at the brightly lit area in the distance, Chen Yougong gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't added an extra layer of defense, I might have been caught by you by now.

Unfortunately, I was the one who outwitted me in the end!"

"Envoy Qinglian, what should we do now?"

A man next to him whispered, "Old Nine and the others have been exposed. The Thunder God Bomb of the White Deer Academy in Songjiang Prefecture has probably been discovered by Su Mu a long time ago. Your plan has completely failed. As for the leader——"

"fail?"

Chen Yougong sneered, "Who said my plan failed? I, Chen Yougong, always have more than one plan when I do things!" Those subordinates all looked disapproving. It was true that there was more than one plan, but they all failed.

Ever since Su Mu came to Songjiang Prefecture, our plans have failed countless times.

Last time, he said he would instigate Mo Xuesong of the Beast Taming Sect to kill Su Mu, but until now, Mo Xuesong has not taken any action.

Now even Lei Gonghong has been discovered, the people from Xuanming Sect can no longer be contacted, and the Thirteenth Prince of Demon Court has also been killed by Su Mu.

If this isn't a failure, then what is?
"Envoy Qinglian, we have earned a large sum of gold and silver in Songjiang Prefecture this time. Even if we fail to avenge the Young Master, the Master will definitely not punish us for this achievement. You will definitely be able to keep your position. I say, we should go back."

One of the men said.

"Yeah, this Songjiang Mansion is too weird, let's go."

Everyone whispered.

"Old Nine has been exposed. Su Mu will soon find out about me. I have to leave now."

A ruthless look flashed across Chen Yougong's face, "But before I leave, I have one last trick.

This move will definitely bring Su Mu to ruin!"

"One more trick?"

Everyone was a little surprised and asked, "Qing Lian Envoy, do you have any backup plan?"

They all looked at Chen Yougong with admiration.

"The dam has broken and the Songjiang Prefecture has been flooded!"

Chen Yougong spoke word by word.

Everyone's face changed drastically.

Flooding Songjiang Prefecture?
Even though they were all followers of the Pure Land School, they all felt that this idea was too outrageous.

If Songjiang Prefecture is flooded, more than one or two people will die.

"Qing Lian Envoy, do we have this ability?"

After all, the Pure Land Buddhists were not kind-hearted people. After being shocked, one of them asked.

"I have already had people build a dam upstream of Songjiang River to store water for many days. Once the dam is blown up, the water will rush down in an instant and turn Songjiang Prefecture into a vast ocean!"

Chen Yougong said confidently.

…………

"Chen Yougong?"

Su Mu showed a look of surprise on his face.

"The owner of this courtyard is Chen Yougong? Are you sure?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

Chen Yougong naturally knew that he had put in a lot of effort in building the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

When Su Mu first came to Songjiang Prefecture to serve as the Taiping Division's pacification envoy, Chen Yougong was the first person to choose to join him.

Later, he helped Su Mu coordinate various resources to build the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture.

It can be said that if it were not for Chen Yougong, the construction period of Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture would have been at least extended by half a year.

Because of his amazing coordination skills, Su Mu even wanted to recommend him to serve as an official in the court.

"Although the owner of this courtyard is not Chen Yougong, he is the shopkeeper of Chen Yougong's business."

Shi Ziran said in a deep voice, "Captain Dongfang has gone to capture Chen Yougong, but I think he will return empty-handed."

As soon as Shi Ziran finished speaking, he saw Dongfang Liuyun coming back dejectedly.

"Ran!"

Dongfang Liuyun said dejectedly, "The entire Chen Mansion is deserted, not even a single person is alive.

You guessed it right, these people are not the real masterminds! "

"Notify the authorities and seal the city gates."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"I have sent someone to go."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "But I don't think we can stop them. Chen Yougong is more cunning than we thought. When I went there, the people in the Chen Mansion had already left for a long time. They even packed up their belongings. It was definitely not a hasty escape."

"No matter what, we must catch Chen Yougong!"

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "He has been coordinating the forces of various families in Songjiang Prefecture and knows too many secrets of Songjiang Prefecture."

When the Bailu Academy of Songjiang Prefecture was built, Songjiang Prefecture put in all its efforts, and Chen Yougong played the role of the chief steward at that time.

Chen Yougong already knew the financial situation of Songjiang Prefecture very well.

It’s not Su Mu’s fault that he believed him.

At the beginning, not only the Taiping Division, but also the Supervisory Division investigated Chen Yougong, but they did not find any problems.

Who would have thought that Chen Yougong would actually be an undercover agent of the Pure Land Sect!
If this person escapes, it will definitely be a huge threat to Songjiang Prefecture.

"Uncle Shi, Dongfang Liuyun, both of you have extraordinary eyesight. Take your men to track down Chen Yougong immediately. Once you find him, send a signal to me immediately!"

Su Mu said without hesitation.

"Yes!"

Shi Ziran and Dongfang Liuyun also knew the seriousness of the matter and said in unison.

I saw the two of them taking people to chase Chen Yougong.

Su Mu looked at the sky which was already turning white, a thoughtful look on his face.

Now he finally understood why Dongfang Liuyun saw the scene of Songjiang Prefecture suffering a devastating disaster.

Based on Chen Yougong's understanding of Songjiang Prefecture, he could easily bring devastating disaster to the prefecture.

It turns out that the biggest threat is not the remnants of the Xuanming Sect, nor the monsters in the Demon Court, but Chen Yougong!
"What else can Chen Yougong do to bring disaster to Songjiang Prefecture?"

Su Mu's mind was working quickly.

Chen Yougong has been doing business in Songjiang Prefecture for many years, and he has his hands in almost every industry.

In addition, when the Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture was built, Chen Yougong could almost be said to have the ultimate power in Songjiang Prefecture.

If he could bury Leigonghong in Bailu Academy in Songjiang Prefecture, then he could naturally bury Leigonghong in other places in the city as well.

"Even if Chen Yougong is really a member of the Pure Land Sect, he shouldn't have too many thunderbolts in his hands."

Su Mu secretly said in his heart, "If you want to destroy Songjiang Prefecture with Thunder God bombs, it won't be possible with just a few dozen Thunder God bombs.

I'm afraid the Pure Land Sect can't afford enough thunderbolts."

"Besides this, what else can he do? The Pure Land Sect will come out in full force to attack Songjiang Prefecture?
Chen Yougong is not the leader of the Pure Land Sect, so I am afraid he cannot do this."

“The Pure Land Sect would never dare to come out in full force to attack the city. That would be tantamount to seeking death. The reason they can continue to exist is not because they are so strong, but because they hide well enough.

If they dare to show up, the Taiping Division can easily wipe them out."

"Chen Yougong is not very powerful, and he doesn't have many people under him. If I were him, how could I destroy Songjiang Prefecture?"

Su Mu walked to the door, his brows furrowed, his face full of thought.

Suddenly, he felt his face get wet.

There was no telling when a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and one drop of rain landed right on his cheek.

"water--"

Su Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, "Songjiang River burst its banks!"

He looked up in the direction of Songjiang, and an incredible thought came to his mind.

"No, the future scene that Dongfang Liuyun saw was that Songjiang Prefecture was full of thunder and fire. It's impossible, impossible."

Su Mu muttered to himself, "Even if Chen Yougong is really so crazy as to want to cause the Songjiang River to burst its banks, he doesn't have the ability to do that."

Although he said this, Su Mu was still filled with uneasiness.

"Come here, inspect the embankment of Songjiang immediately. If there are any problems, report them!"

Su Mu shouted loudly.
