As soon as Zhang Chu finished speaking, Lu Ning beside him quickly stated, "If the third and fourth battalions can successfully escape, I promise that they will follow your orders and be loyal to you!"

"Unwavering loyalty!"

As he spoke, Lu Ning clasped his fists and knelt down.

But he was lifted up again by Xu Shan.

"Don't kneel down at every turn."

"Where did you learn all this red tape?"

"Remember, you are the emperor's personal soldiers. You are my brothers, Xu Shan!"

“Don’t kneel to the sky, don’t worship the earth.”

"Even in Shu County, Zhu Wuji is standing here..."

"As long as I'm alive, you guys should hold your heads high."

"The only ones who can make us bow our heads are His Majesty and the people!"

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Lu Ning, Zhang Chu and others held their heads high and said, "We will follow Master Xu's instructions!"

"We will follow you until death!"

'Snapped. '

He patted Lu Ning's shoulder and said, "Less showing of determination and more doing things!"

"You'll understand once we get to know each other better. I don't like being flattered."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, the frank and upright Old Li widened his eyes and raised his voice in doubt.

"My Lord, are you serious?"

"I see that you are very happy when I flatter you, Brother Qinian."

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan smiled and said jokingly, "If you can't speak, just say less."

"Yuan Fang, I, the great God of War of the Ming Dynasty, have to have some dignity."

"Haha."

This relaxed atmosphere also infected Lu Ning and others.

"Make a plan."

After closing the door, Xu Shan made a detailed plan.

That night, he and his group dressed in brocade clothes and quietly left the city!

The next day, at noon...

A carriage flying the flag of Dingsheng Trading Company appeared at the fork in Guyanling.

Several soldiers guarding the area, upon seeing the leading man, hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Didn't Dingsheng just deliver food a few days ago?"

Hearing this, the leading clerk said, "Sir, this was arranged by our shopkeeper."

"They said it was someone above them who specifically instructed me..."

"The brothers of Guyan Ridge have worked hard and made great contributions recently, so they specially asked us to prepare some wine and meat as a reward."

"Excuse me, General, to inform you."

When they heard the words "wine and meat", the eyes of the soldiers guarding here lit up.

Even though they were the direct troops of the Shu Palace, it was difficult for them to eat meat or drink wine throughout the year.

"Wait a moment, I'll report it right away."

Reported layer by layer, directly reaching the main account.

Lieutenant General Zhang Guang, who was in charge of the entire Guyan Ridge defense, was very surprised after hearing the report from his subordinates, but he still ordered his men to let them in.

"Someone sent from above? General Li? What does he mean by this?"

"It's not a festival or a holiday. Why send wine and meat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff officer beside him came forward and said, "Commander Zhang, I know what you are talking about."

"Oh?"

"It should be related to the third and fourth battalions of the Jingjia Army!"

"It is said that the reason General Li suddenly wanted to detain them was related to the actions of his former lieutenant general, Lu Ning, in Wanzhou City."

After saying this, the staff officer briefly recounted what he knew.

"You mean, Lu Ning has become close to the Imperial Envoy now? Are the higher-ups afraid that he'll call his old subordinates to serve under him?"

"Yes! We have detained the Third and Fourth Battalions now. When Lu Ning learns of this, he will definitely beg the imperial envoy to come here to rescue them."

"General Li, while we are sending meat and wine to reward the soldiers at this time, I also hope that you, Lieutenant General, can be a little tougher when facing the imperial envoy."

"You won't let him go?"

Hearing this, the staff officer nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"

"Haha."

"Don't even mention him being an imperial envoy. Without General Li's order, even the Jade Emperor can't take away the people from the Third and Fourth Battalions."

"Order the men to stew the meat."

"At noon, eat big chunks of meat and drink big gulps of wine."

"Yes!"

Following Zhang Guang's order, the wine and meat provided by Dingsheng Trading Company were served on the soldiers' table at noon!

The entire garrison was plunged into a frenzy of wine and meat!

Adjacent to the high slopes of Guyanling.

Xu Shan, holding a monocular telescope, took in the entire carnival.

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Not long after, Wu Jieyu hurried over and clasped his fists, saying, "Sir, Zhang Chu and his men have successfully made contact with the troops from the third and fourth battalions."

"According to your plan, they will take action after one stick of incense!"

Hearing this, Xu Shan put away the telescope and nodded slightly, "Have Ye Lin and the people from Team 3 sneaked in?"

"They've sneaked in! This time, it's Lord Li who's leading the team himself!"

"If they dare to overturn the table, all those who have a say in the camp will be killed."

After he finished saying this, Xu Shan turned around and walked down the hillside.

Then, he smiled and said, "Let's walk towards them slowly."

"By the time we get there, the medicine will be almost effective."

"The desire for food can cause great harm to people!"

After saying that, Xu Shan showed a cold smile on his face.

"gather!"

"Mount!"

"God damn!"

"arrive."

"Openly display the dragon flag, the symbol of the imperial envoy."

"Yes!"

After Xu Shan finished saying this, Zhang Liansong immediately raised the dragon banner.

"Yuan Fang is not here, Qinian is busy again."

"Lu Ning, as the deputy captain, you hold the highest position here besides me."

"You have to take up your responsibilities later."

Hearing this, Lu Ning clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, sir. I will not let you down."

After the other party finished speaking these words with great confidence, Xu Shan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not necessarily."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to use the embroidered spring knife at your waist."

"what?"

"Let's go!"

Before Lu Ning could figure out the problem, Xu Shan had already taken the lead and rushed towards Guyan Ridge.

After about a quarter of an hour, everyone arrived at the garrison.

There were several soldiers on duty, many of whom were veterans of the Jingjia Army.

Although they did not recognize Xu Shan, the leader, they recognized Lu Ning, who was following closely behind him, at a glance.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Lu who went to the Pacification Division and was promoted to Deputy Captain?"

"Did the wind today blow you here?"

The leading captain burped as he said this, bared his teeth and picked up the piece of meat stuck between his teeth with his hands.

His eyes were frivolous and his tone was full of disdain.

"Bastard thing!"

"The imperial envoy has arrived. Why don't you inform Zhang Guang immediately and have him come to greet him immediately?"

Lu Ning stretched out his right hand, pointed his spear at the captain with angry eyes and said.

"what?"

"Who?"

"Imperial envoy?"

"Why didn't I see it?"

As he said this, the leading captain glanced at Xu Shan who was standing with his horse reined in.

Then, with a playful look on his face, he added, "Commander Zhang has given orders!"

"During the closure of the garrison, no visitors will be received."

"Lord Lu..."

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"

"Otherwise, where would you come from with these dozen imperial envoys..."

"Just go back there?"

"what?"

"Haha."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire garrison was filled with their unbridled laughter.
