He knelt anxiously and took two steps on his knees, then said sadly to Zhang Zhubu, the chief clerk at the top of the table,

"Master Chief Registrar, please understand! Even if I die, I dare not lie!"

"This is indeed the information sent by carrier pigeon from Jinling. Please take a look."

Although Zhang Zhubu was extremely frightened, he still waved to the messenger with a calm expression.

Upon seeing this, the messenger hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand.

Zhang Zhubu grabbed the letter and opened it.

The whole person was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.

There is no other reason, it is just because this information is stamped with the seal of Wang Ziteng, the general of Jinling who commands 100,000 guards.

This would further prove the authenticity of the information, and at the very end, Wang Ziteng also instructed him to guard the Sheyang camp strictly and not make any mistakes.

What does this mean?

Even if a letter was sent by carrier pigeon, it would take about two hours to get from Jinling to Sheyang.

Taking into account the time it took for the news from Yancheng to reach Jinling, that group of rebels to capture Yancheng took less than an hour?!

This also includes the transmission of messages!

They took over Yancheng, which was heavily guarded and protected by high walls, in less than an hour. Are they really just a group of rebels?

Wasn’t it agreed that he was just better at robbing and robbery?

how……

Now that Sheyang's garrison general Wang Hongguang is absent,

When Zhang Zhubu heard the news, he felt confused and at a loss for a moment, and at the same time, a chill from the bone marrow kept rising into his head.

He saw the generals and the messenger in front of him, still staring at him eagerly.

Wang Zhubu's heart sank, and he smiled at the messenger and said,

"I already know about this matter. Please leave first and I will discuss it with the generals."

"But the news here..."

The messenger nodded tactfully and replied,

"I understand. Please rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut!"

"Great! Go ahead!"

Zhang Zhubu smiled and nodded.

The messenger saluted him with gratitude.

"Thank you, Master Chief Registrar!"

He immediately turned around and walked out of the tent.

However, he did not notice that after he turned around, a cold light flashed in Zhang Zhubu's smiling eyes.

Just as the messenger arrived at the door of the tent, a long sword suddenly flew out and went straight through the messenger's chest.

Blood splattered everywhere, causing the soldier to scream in pain.

He paused, turned around slowly, and looked at Zhang Zhubu with disbelief and astonishment on his face.

Then his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness and astonishment on his face.

The generals were also frightened by Zhang Zhubu's behavior, and looked at him in surprise and doubt.

Zhang Zhubu's frown relaxed slightly, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands as if nothing had happened.

Then he threw the handkerchief at the messenger's body on the ground.

"Give him ten taels of silver as compensation!"

Then he picked up the information in his hand and handed it to a general next to him.

"Now that the garrison commander is away, let's all take a look at this news from Jinling."

Seeing this, the generals gathered around out of curiosity, forgetting the corpse on the ground.

However, after seeing the contents of the intelligence, everyone's faces changed drastically, and they also understood why Zhang Zhubu wanted to kill the messenger.

A general looked at Zhang Zhubu and asked,

"Zhang Zhubu, what should we do now?"

The others came back to their senses from their shock and looked towards Zhang Zhubu.

Zhang Zhubu looked at everyone calmly and said,

"Everyone, the reason why Yancheng was captured by the rebels from Qingfeng Village in such a short time was mainly because Yancheng was caught off guard by the rebels' sudden attack!"

"Now, I have 20,000 elite troops in the Sheyang camp. No matter how bold those rebels are, they will never dare to come and cause trouble."
