Chapter 771 Wu Yong: A turning point has come! [3 more]

Fang Jie organized his words in his mind and said:

"Your Majesty, remember I said Minister Gao told me that my grandfather has already won over a group of...ministers.

"There is Cheng Gui, the chief steward of Wulongling Water Fort, Gong Wen, the governor of Huzhou, and Wu Sheng, the commander of Dusong Pass...

"When our army was fighting the Chu army yesterday, weren't the ones who stabbed us in the back the Gong Wen and Wu Sheng?"

Fang Jinzhi frowned slightly, "You mean Gong Wen and Wu Sheng stabbed me in the back, and that was also arranged by Second Grandfather?"

"Maybe, maybe not..."

Fang Jie is now unsure:
“But Minister Gao also said that my grandfather has found an outside aid for me who can play a big role at a critical moment.

"At that time, I didn't want to listen to what Minister Gao said.

"Minister Gao died in battle yesterday, so who that foreign aid is has become a mystery...

"But since Gong Wen and Wu Sheng suddenly stabbed each other in the back yesterday, could it be that the foreign aid was Wang Qing?"

Fang Jinzhi felt overwhelmed:
“So Wang Qing lied to Second Grandfather, he didn’t really want to help you inherit the throne.

"But he wants to use Second Grandfather to disrupt the Southern Kingdom so that he can take advantage of the situation?"

Fang Jie frowned and thought hard. This was indeed a bit confusing, but he always felt something was wrong:
"There is a problem. Wang Qing seems to be unaware that Gong Wen and Wu Sheng will come, otherwise he should cut off our army's center!

"Gong Wen and Wu Sheng are now dead, and there is no evidence to prove their wrongdoing.

"Your Majesty, why don't we capture Cheng Gui and interrogate him?"

Fang Jinzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

"I?"

Fang Jie pointed at his nose blankly.

Fang Jinzhi nodded again, and Fang Jie's nose felt sore again:

What a trust!

"Yes!"

Fang Jie bowed his head and said:

"I would rather die than betray Your Majesty!"

……

Nanfeng Prefecture.

"Ouch..."

Even though he had been resting for more than ten days, Song Jiang's buttocks still hurt so much that he had to lie down to receive customers.

Chai Jin, Wu Yong, Chao Gai, Dong Ping and other people from Song Jiang's faction all came to his house for a gathering today.

"Humph!"

Dong Ping said angrily:

"I didn't even bring them with me when I went on the expedition. Wang Qing no longer trusts them!"

Chao Gai shook his head: "We always lose the battles.

"It's only natural that the king looks down on us..."

"Salt, as it should be?"

Dong Ping snorted coldly:
"Lan Dao, is this what your life will be like?

"Wasting a monk's life under Wang Qing?"

Wu Yong waved his goose feather fan, glanced at Song Jiang, and said:
“That may not be the case, let’s wait and see what happens.

“Maybe there will be a turnaround soon.”

"Turn just because, turn just because!"

Dong Ping is very angry now:

"I'm just saying, Wang Qing conquering the Blue Kingdom has nothing to do with us!
"How can we watch others perform meritorious deeds?"

"Brother Dong Ping, please be patient."

Song Jiang lay on the Luohan bed to comfort Dong Ping:

"The military advisor has great foresight and everything is under his control.

"We'll just wait and see what happens."

Dong Ping took a deep breath and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.

Then with a "swish", a figure with two balls of fire under his feet rushed in directly from outside the door!
"hiss--"

Dong Ping couldn't help but gasp, and instinctively jumped up and drew his sword:
"What silver?"

"Brother Dong Ping, it's me!"

The figure stepping on the two balls of flame stopped. It turned out to be the "divine horse" Ma Ling riding the wind-fire wheels!
Seeing that it was Ma Ling, Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other subconsciously and shouted:

“All of you get out!

"No one is allowed to come in without my order!"

So all the servants who had followed Ma Ling in retreated and closed the door of the room from the outside. Ma Ling lowered his voice excitedly:
“I saw with my own eyes that Wang Qing was besieged by the Southern Army in Bangyuan Cave!
"Countless casualties, total defeat!"

Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Dong Ping and others all showed their joy on their faces.

Dong Ping asked: "How much of the 100,000 gold is left?"

Ma Ling estimated: "Maybe one or two out of ten..."

That's it!

Song Jiang slapped his thigh, Wu Yong grinned, and quickly used the goose feather fan to cover the lower half of his face:
"What did I say? The turning point has come!"

"Military Advisor is right. Now is the time to turn things around!"

Ma Ling said excitedly: "Your Majesty is now living in Anchang County.

"We can take this opportunity to capture Nanfeng Prefecture, welcome back the king, and rebuild the Jin Kingdom!"

Ah this...

Wu Yong and Dong Ping subconsciously looked at Song Jiang:

Are we going through all this trouble just to rebuild the State of Jin?
...That’s not impossible!

Song Jiang's eyes rolled around and he changed his address immediately:
"Master Ma is right!

"In that case, please ask Master Ma to go to Anchang County to pick up the king. We will take this opportunity to capture Nanfeng Prefecture!"

"it is good!"

Ma Ling bowed to Song Jiang, Chao Gai and others:
"I'll leave the Nanfeng Prefecture to you colleagues!

"I'll come as soon as I go!"

"Shh-"

Ma Ling rode on his wind-fire wheels and left at lightning speed.

Song Jiang's willingness to bring Tian Ding back to rebuild the Jin Kingdom changed Chao Gai and Chai Jin's views of him:

Timely rain still means loyalty!
But Dong Ping was unsure:

"You are all former ministers of the Jin State. If you welcome him here, what should we do?"

Song Jiang winked at Dong Ping:

"Don't worry, brother. Song Jiang is here and will never let you down!"

Dong Ping couldn't stand alone, so he could only huddle together with Song Jiang for warmth:
"It's up to giegie to decide!"

……

Within a day, rumors spread throughout Nanfeng Prefecture.

"Have you heard? The king has been defeated!"

"I heard that 100,000 soldiers died in the Southland!"

"I also heard that the king had his head chopped off by Fang Jie's halberd. It was a tragic death!"

"We have lost more than 200,000 soldiers, and now even the king is dead. What should Chu do?"

"It's over! The Chu State is finished!"

It was already dark, and upon hearing the news, Princess Duan Sanniang of Chu summoned all the important officials of the court into the palace that night.

"There are rumors flying everywhere now!"

Duan Sanniang looked around at all the important officials present with her eyes wide open:
"Do you know what's going on?"

The officials looked at each other, and Dong Ping stood up and said:

"There is no noise without noise, and there is no fear without reason..."

"fart!"

Duan Sanniang glared:
"My husband led an army of 100,000 men to war, how could he be defeated so quickly?"

Dong Ping's face darkened and he looked at Song Jiang.

Song Jiang blinked his eyes: It's too early to take action now...

Dong Ping nodded in understanding:
Understood!
Song Jiang coughed dryly and was about to say something when he saw Dong Ping rush over and grab Duan Sanniang!
"hiss--"

Song Jiang's face turned green:

No, you understand the der!
If you don’t understand, don’t nod your head randomly!

"Wang Qing is dead, and all the 100,000 gold coins were lost in the Lan Kingdom!

"This is not a rumor, this is reality!"

Dong Ping grabbed Duan Sanniang and shouted:
"The Blue Country is finished! I'm going to kill this old woman today!

"Re-establish a new king!"

After saying that, Dong Ping drew out his sword and without hesitation cut off Duan Sanniang's head!

The ministers were dumbfounded and horrified...
