NOVEL NEXT Chapter 189
The old man was so angry that he had to go to jail.
Ning Fan’s face was drooping. He really wanted to ask Liu Taibai if he thought he was a fool.
Otherwise, why would he help Liu Zhong?
And resist Ren Pingsheng’s army and the Blood Wolf Army?
Damn!
Are you bored?
“Second, make way for Liu Zhong to take his army around and make it easier.”
Before Ning Fan could speak, this guy actually proposed a second condition!
Hiss… This is too much!
“No, do you think I’m stupid?”
Ning Fan gritted his teeth.
Liu Taibai was stunned, then shook his head: “How can you be stupid? You have come step by step from the northern border to now, and you have Youzhou in your hands, with hundreds of thousands of troops under your command!”
“If you are stupid, then how many people in this world are not stupid?”
Ning Fan nodded, indicating that he agreed. This flattery came from the mouth of the invincible Liu Taibai, and it was just two words, comfortable and useful.
“Then why should I attack Ren Pingsheng and the Blood Wolf Army? I am a loyal minister, loyal to the Great Zhou, and do my best.”
“It is my duty to wipe out the rebels, and it is what I should do!”
“Not taking the initiative to attack Liu Zhong is already a great mercy on my part, but you actually want me to take action to help a rebel?”
“Isn’t this treating me as a fool?”
Ning Fan said dissatisfiedly.
Liu Taibai glanced at Ning Fan: “Why are you talking so much nonsense? I’m not asking you to do it for nothing.”
“Even if you ask for more money, it’s not negotiable!”
Ning Fan waved his hand and said righteously.
Are you kidding!
If he helped Liu Zhong, wouldn’t it be equivalent to rising up in rebellion? Although the Great Zhou is in chaos now, the royal family is already sacred and inviolable in the hearts of the people.
Although it is chaotic, the people’s sense of identity with the Great Zhou is still in their bones.
Moreover, wouldn’t it be more comfortable to develop in this Youzhou and get the annual grain and grass subsidy from the court?
If that’s the case, why did he show his rebellious intention?
“I surrender!”
“I said, even if you ask for more money, I’m not the one who asks for more money. Don’t be so arrogant…”
Halfway through, Ning Fan was shocked.
Then, he stared at Liu Taibai with wide eyes in disbelief: “What did you just say? You surrendered?”
“No, you are not kidding me?”
Ning Fan felt incredible.
Liu Taibai sighed, somewhat helpless: “Master wrote to me, asking me to help Liu Zhong escape this disaster no matter what, I have no way out.”
“I always feel that I can live as I please, but in this world, who can really be alone and free of worries?”
“The world of mortals is a big net that no one can escape from.”
Liu Taibai smiled bitterly.
Ning Fan was overjoyed: “It’s unlikely to attack Ren Pingsheng, but the second condition is possible. Liu Zhong can use Youzhou to take a detour!”
Liu Taibai nodded: “Okay, that’s enough.”
“Ren Pingsheng and the Blood Wolf Army are really extraordinary. Liu Zhong’s army is simply difficult to stop, and the court has also sent some invincible great saints.”
“If I hadn’t taken action, Liu Zhong might have been defeated.”
Liu Taibai also knew that Ning Fan probably couldn’t accept the first condition.
However, he had to say it.
Only with comparison can the second condition be easier to accept.
“Where is Liu Zhong going?”
Ning Fan asked.
Liu Taibai shook his head: “I don’t know. Liu Zhong is very cautious about everyone now. Even I don’t know where he is going.”
“But as long as he can borrow a passage from Youzhou, he can completely escape Ren Pingsheng’s siege.”
“If he escapes the siege, he will be like a fish in the sea. It will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to completely destroy him.”
Ning Fan nodded to show his understanding.
Liu Taibai suddenly laughed: “Do you need me to swear an oath, or take some elixirs from the Demon Heart Sect to control me?”
“Don’t make a fuss. We are all on the same side in the future. Why do we need those broken tricks?” Ning Fan grinned.
“Aren’t you afraid that I won’t keep my promise?”
“If Liu Taibai, the peerless swordsman, doesn’t keep his promise, I can only accept it.”
“Do you trust me so much?”
“Why shouldn’t I trust you?”
Liu Taibai burst into laughter: “I, Liu Taibai, have done things with a clear conscience and without regrets for others. From now on, I am willing to serve you at your service!”
“Now, the Bodhi tree…”
Ning Fan stood up immediately: “As you said last time, I must invite you to the Bodhi tree!”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Liu Taibai still didn’t go under the Bodhi tree. He had to rush back to Liangzhou to tell Liu Zhong the news.
That night, a transfer order was issued from the Grand Commander’s Office.
The tens of thousands of troops guarding the official road left quickly.
Liangzhou.
In a city, Ren Pingsheng stood on the sand table and studied carefully.
Liu Zhong’s army was already retreating step by step, and was very close to Youzhou.
And Ren Pingsheng’s army and the Blood Wolf Army had already surrounded Liu Zhong completely. Victory seemed to be within reach.
“Xiao Feng.”
Ren Pingsheng returned to his seat and shouted.
Xiao Feng came from outside, came to Ren Pingsheng, and bowed.
“What are the major families in Liangzhou and the various forces in the rivers and lakes now?”
Ren Pingsheng has always been worried about these.
Liangzhou, after all, is the place where Liu Zhong has been operating for a lifetime, and the various forces can be said to be crawling under his fierce power.
Now that the decisive battle is imminent, if these guys stab them in the back, it will be unacceptable to them.
“No problem.”
“Liu Zhong is doomed, these guys will naturally become fence-sitters and turn against him in an instant.”
“But we still have to be on guard.”
“If there is a decisive battle, we still need to send troops to guard the rear, but I don’t think too many troops are needed, three thousand are enough.”
Ren Pingsheng nodded: “Just do as you say.”
“Sir, there won’t be any problems in Youzhou, right?” Xiao Feng paused and said with some concern.
Ren Pingsheng smiled and shook his head: “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems in Youzhou.”
“Although Ning Fan is cunning, he also knows the importance of the matter. How dare he have an affair with Liu Zhong.”
“Besides, last time, Ning Fan had a big fight with General Liu, and the two of them have a blood feud.”
“So don’t worry.”
Ren Pingsheng waved his hand.
“By the way, where is Ning Fan now?”
Ren Pingsheng thought for a moment and asked again.
Xiao Feng frowned: “I don’t know, but a war broke out at Yumen Pass. The 200,000-strong army of Daliang, led by Yue Ge, rushed to Yumen Pass.”
Because of Liu Zhong, Youzhou was blocked, so no news could be transmitted. They were just guessing based on the news they had received before.
“Yue Ge!”
“It’s not easy to deal with!”
“200,000 troops… I’m afraid it’s enough to give Ning Fan a headache.”
“At least, it will hurt his bones.”
Ren Pingsheng shook his head.
“Send an order, the army will surround!”
“Three days later, the decisive battle!”
Ren Pingsheng took a deep breath, and clusters of divine light burst out from his tiger eyes!
