I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 63 Obtaining the Land Deed and Changing the Tactics
Zhong Ye looked at the food in the haystack, then turned back to look at the pale and skinny people in the village, and felt dazed for a moment!
Suddenly, with a thud, he knelt down in front of the old man and kowtowed!

"Commander!"

"Marshal, what are you doing?"

The Guards were horrified!
The old man was at a loss and hurriedly helped Zhong Ye up.

Zhong Ye looked up, his face full of tears:
"I am incompetent. I failed to defend the county town and also lost Lingyun Village. I am ashamed of the trust of my fellow villagers! Now the bandits have entered the mountains. Old man, quickly take the food and flee to the mountains!"

The villagers turned pale upon hearing this, and only then did they notice that Zhong Ye and his group consisted of only about twenty people, all covered in blood and in a miserable state.

"Have the bandits entered the mountains?", "Where are the Lingyun Army?", "Are you the only ones left in the Lingyun Army?"

"God damn it, you bandits, what a sin!", "Oh God, please open your eyes!"

In an instant, the remaining villagers wailed and cursed, and had to rush home, pack up their belongings, and flee to the mountains with their families.

Zhong Ye looked at the villagers who were fleeing in panic, his face full of shame. He couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he stood up and walked out of the village.

Unexpectedly, just as I reached the village entrance, my steps suddenly froze.

But on the mountain path, there was a Taoist priest, his body steaming and covered in blood, holding a machete with a cut on it, looking at the fleeing villagers with a complicated expression.

Zhong Ye rushed over with a look of surprise: "Friend Lu?! You, you're not dead?"

Lu Wujiu grinned and said, "As long as the Hu bandits are not destroyed, how can I leave first?"

The old man asked expectantly, "Master Lu, have you captured the Hu bandit's flag?"

Lu Wujiu shook his head, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He finally found the title deed to the land.

——It is the flag of the bandit Hu!

Unfortunately, the soldier who touched the commander's flag was knocked down by the flag-guarding shaman just after he cut down the flagpole.

If he could be given a few more seconds, once the arrogant soldiers touched the flag, they would be able to immediately withdraw from the evil scene and complete Yang Fengzhao's ritual of the Dharma Master ascending the stairs!

However, it is not too late now. Now that we know the target, let's try another military flag-grabbing game.

Zhong Ye's face was full of admiration, and he bowed:
"Amidst a vast army, you beheaded the enemy commander's flag right under your tent. Fellow Daoist Lu is truly a great man who can save the world. I admire you!"

Lu Wujiu responded: "Thank you so much!"

Zhong Ye's expression straightened up, and he continued, "I have an unwelcome request, and I hope you will agree."

Lu Wujiu said: "Please speak frankly!"

Zhong Ye turned around and took the Lingyun Army's flag and the nine-section staff from his personal guards and handed them over:

"One incompetent general can tire out the entire army. I am ashamed of the trust placed in me by the Great Sage Master, and I cannot accept his position as commander. Fellow Daoist Lu possesses immense magical power, and the entire army cannot be held hostage! I ask that Fellow Daoist Lu deliver the commander's flag and talisman to the Great Sage Master. I will be deeply grateful."

As soon as the voice fell, all the guards around him were shocked and tried to dissuade him, saying, "General, no!"

Zhong Ye didn't give any explanation and stuffed the commander's flag and nine-section staff into Lu Wujiu's hands.

Lu Wujiu's hands trembled slightly.

Title deed!

The Lingyun Army's flag actually became a land deed?!

You know, in the previous melee, he sent his soldiers to touch the flag of Lingyun Army, but they turned out to be just ordinary people!
How come it has become a title deed now?

Also, the Lingyun Army’s flag is a land deed, so what about the Hu bandit’s flag?
Yang Fengzhao said that a place can only have one land deed, unless... this is not a county, but a prefecture, or even a district!
However, none of this matters. What matters is...

He, Lu Wujiu, actually caught the deed!
——Because this was a gift personally given by the Representative of Obsession?

Lu Wujiu was lost in thought when he asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do, fellow Daoist?" "When the bandits attacked, they drove tens of millions of civilians as their vanguard. Everyone advised me not to open the city gates, but I couldn't bear it, so I opened them. After we were defeated and fled to Guangcheng, everyone advised me to leave early, saying that while I could still survive, I would have no worries. I couldn't bear to see the mountains and rivers littered with ruined soldiers and families, so I stayed and built Lingyun Village to treat the wounded. Now Lingyun Village has been breached again..."

At this point, Zhong Ye's voice trembled slightly. He looked around and said with a bow:
"I'm sorry to disappoint you all again. There are more than just Liujiagou villages in the mountains. The bandits won't let them go, so I have to stay and hold them back. The Great Sage Master is right, kindness doesn't command the army, and righteousness doesn't command wealth. You've all suffered a lot following me, so please escort Fellow Daoist Lu away."

The guards' eyes were red: "Marshal, we are not going anywhere. We will follow you till death!"

"Stupid!" Zhong Ye scolded, "I have the Dao to protect me, what do you have? You'll only be a burden to me if you follow me around! Even ants try to survive, how can you really think I'm going to die?"

After these words were spoken, all the guards fell silent.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu's mind moved, and a crazy idea popped up in his mind. He suddenly whispered:
"I have a plan that may turn the tide. Would you be willing to give it a try?"

Zhong Ye looked at Lu Wujiu in astonishment, half believing and half doubting, "What's your brilliant plan, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Wujiu said calmly, "The Hu bandit army is now completely in the mountains, leaving the city empty. This is a godsend opportunity. We may be able to seize it and recapture the county!"

"No!"

Zhong Ye said with disappointment, "With so few of us, let alone taking the city, we can't even hold it even if we do."

Lu Wujiu said, "I have learned a technique that allows me to lead a banner and gather ghost soldiers as my soldiers. I wonder how many soldiers of the Lingyun Army have been killed in battle?"

Zhong Ye looked confused and uncertain, and after a while he said, "The Lingyun Army is a small faction, with only 8,000 troops."

Lu Wujiu nodded: "Eight thousand is enough to capture the county. If we can also capture the Hu bandit leader's flag, we can march out of Jingzhou in no time!"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhong Ye stammered, "Dao, Daoist friend, are you serious?"

Lu Wujiu said, "Poverty is nothing more than begging for food, and the greatest fear is death. Since you, my fellow Daoist, have the heart to die for your faith, why hesitate?"

Zhong Ye's old face suddenly flushed red. He took a deep breath, clasped his hands, and said, "I am a poor Taoist priest, and I will obey your orders!"

The guards looked at each other, then clasped their fists and said, "At your command!"

Lu Wujiu laughed heartily: "Excellent! Let's go!"

Having said that, he turned around and headed straight for the county town.

Everyone was excited and followed suit.

……

……

Liuren School, Ancestral Hall.

Yang Fengzhao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly cried out in a low voice: "Land deed?!"

The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder, which startled the on-duty master, the senior officials of Liuren, and even the military marshals who were immersed in other evil scenes, and they all paid attention to look over.

Then Yang Fengzhao suddenly looked at Lu Wujiu with an excited expression.

——He and Chang Bing had a mysterious connection, so when Chang Bing discovered the land deed, he naturally knew it immediately.

However, Lu Wujiu had a blank expression on his face, his eyes slightly closed, still immersed in the evil scene, which made everyone look complicated.

Especially Zhao Yimei, who had not yet figured out the situation of Nie Jing, clenched her fists slightly, forced herself to regain her composure and continue the attack.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Lu Wujiu, who was sitting cross-legged, had his eyelids twitching slightly, as if he was waking up.

Yang Fengzhao, whose attention was always on him, saw this and asked quickly:

"Did Fellow Daoist Lu find the land deed?"
