After Xu Shan finished saying this, the two looked at each other and both showed cunning smiles.

Before entering Shu, their plan was to intensify the conflict between the two major camps in Shu County.

This will make it easier for you to reap the benefits!

The two brothers, one in the light and the other in the dark.

They are all adding fuel to the fire!

"My lord, there is one more news."

"Ok?"

"There should be an insider from the Shu Palace in our team entering Shu."

Hearing Wang Qinian's words, Xu Shan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Based on the intelligence gathered by the spies of the Divine Machine Hub and Sun Xiaoyu and his team."

"Your Excellency led his troops, and a detailed account of their journey from leaving the capital to entering Sichuan has been passed down."

"Moreover, the officials we met along the way and the matters that occurred were all recorded in great detail."

After Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan was silent for a moment and said, "It's impossible for our family members."

The Jinyiwei who entered Shu this time were all the brothers who had followed Xu Shan through thick and thin.

Knowing someone’s ins and outs is a test of life and death.

"It's probably because of Ma Jian and those Donglin Party remnants."

"I, your subordinate, think so too."

"Any concrete clues?"

"Have!"

After saying that, Wang Qinian presented all the clues and inferences he had collected to Xu Shan beside him.

"Let me, Wu Jieyu, go check it out."

"But don't alert the enemy."

"I still have use for him!"

"Yes."

"How's the Sky-Exploding Gang doing?"

[Zhatian Gang] is a gang secretly supported by Xu Shan based on the Cao Gang.

Now in the capital and Jiangnan County, it can be said to be the leader.

Along the Yangtze River route, their business (tentacles) have long extended to the two lakes and Shu.

Under Xu Shan's secret instructions, some of the scarce (controlled) materials in Jiangnan could only be transported to Shu County through them.

This also means that the business of the Zhatian Gang has been closely connected with the powerful people in Shu County.

"The business network that the Sky-Zha Gang has built up is now flourishing all over Shu County."

"but……"

"but what?"

"The Beggars' Sect is deliberately suppressing us. They want to get involved in every business and then take a slice of the action."

"They have the Shu Palace's backing. The Zhatian Gang has been pursuing stability in accordance with your development guidelines. No direct conflict has broken out!"

Hearing this, Xu Shan nodded slightly and said, "If we devour the Beggars' Sect, can they quickly take over the 'market' and take it for themselves?"

"Absolutely no problem."

"That's enough. Go back in the next couple of days and explain things to them clearly! Don't be afraid to spend money. What I want is the right to speak for the grassroots public opinion in the entire Shu County, and an all-pervasive intelligence network."

"Every ounce of money they spend today, I will return to them double in the future."

"clear."

Just as Wang Qinian finished speaking, an urgent voice was heard outside the door.

"Sir Li, I have an urgent matter to discuss with Envoy Xu."

"Please, let me go."

"It's urgent."

After hearing this, Xu Shan subconsciously glanced out the window.

Lu Ning, Zhang Chu and others were running around in a panic like ants on a hot pan.

Li Yuanfang didn't know what his master and Wang Qinian were discussing in secret, so he didn't dare to let them in without orders.

Until Xu Shan spoke.

"Yuan Fang, we are all brothers."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

When Lu Ning, Zhang Chu and others hurried into the room, Wang Qinian, dressed in a black robe, hid in the dark and said nothing.

‘Poof! ’

Before they could even speak, they knelt on one knee in front of Xu Shan.

"what happened?"

"What does this mean?"

After seeing this scene, Xu Shan was surprised.

"Please, Lord Xu, rescue the brothers from the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army."

"They have no intention of treason."

"Yes, it was the Shu Palace that deliberately took their anger out on them."

"what?"

"Stand up and tell me what's going on."

Hearing Xu Shan's words, several people slowly stood up.

Then, you and I relayed the story of the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army.

"We all come from the Third and Fourth Battalions of the Jingjia Army. Deputy Captain Lu was once the lieutenant general who commanded these two battalions."

"The people in the Shu Palace should have learned about what we did in Wanzhou today."

"To prevent this, we brought the third and fourth battalions to your Excellency. In the afternoon, we detained them all at Lone Goose Ridge on charges of 'treason.'"

"They said he would be taken to Jiangzhou tomorrow morning."

"Brothers in the camp risked their lives to escape. They ran to Wanzhou to ask for help from our subordinates, but now we have no power and no one. We can only ask for help from you, sir."

After the other party finished speaking, Xu Shan replied softly: "I don't like what you are saying."

"How can the emperor's personal soldiers be powerless? They are all brothers, how can they be without people?"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Lu Ning, Zhang Chu and others were very excited.

I have been in Shu County for so long, but I have never met such a "heartwarming" boss.

"You said they are being held in Lone Goose Ridge? How many people are guarding them?"

As he said this, Xu Shan looked at the map hanging on the wall.

Lu Ning, who was standing by, quickly replied, "About two or three battalions."

"These two or three battalions are all under the command of Li Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Jiangzhou. The Jinyiwei we killed today was his nephew."

Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled.

Then he said, "So, you can't reach an agreement with us as an imperial envoy?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Ning replied, "Li Cheng is an absolute descendant of the Shu Palace."

"If we can't reach an agreement, then we'll fight!"

"what?"

Xu Shan’s words really shocked Lu Ning and others.

The number of Jinyiwei who accompanied the imperial envoy into Sichuan was less than 200 at most.

But the other side has two or three battalions guarding it!

"Qinian, we are in Goose Ridge, do we have any friends here?"

Xu Shan, who was staring at the map, suddenly spoke, leaving Lu Ning and others completely confused.

The beginning of the year?

Who are you talking to?

But their doubts had just flashed through their minds when they saw a dark figure walk out from the darkness and approach Xu Shan respectfully.

His sudden appearance surprised Lu Ning and others.

Because, from beginning to end, no one felt his presence.

In other words, the other party's strength is definitely much higher than mine.

"Guyan Ridge is one of the four major military garrisons in Jiangzhou."

"Their food and supplies are all provided by the Dingsheng Chamber of Commerce, which is secretly supported by the Zhatian Gang."

“Maneuverability is huge!”

As the most senior think tank under Xu Shan, Wang Qinian naturally figured out his master's intentions.

They are short of numbers, but the two battalions that can be detained are also a great help!

"Have the troops from the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army followed your instructions?"

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Zhang Chu quickly replied, "Please rest assured, sir. The brothers of the third and fourth battalions were all brought up by Sir Lu."

"Absolutely loyal!"
