At night.

Zi Shi.

Forty-eight elite soldiers from the Left Banner Army left the military camp at night, divided into four groups, with twelve people in each group, and went to the four military camps where the Right Banner Army was scattered.

Logically speaking, even if the spies hidden by Taiyuan Zong in the Right Banner Army were to be captured, it should be an internal matter of the Right Banner Army, and should be handled by the people of the Right Banner Army. Letting the Zuo Banner Army go would inevitably lead to conflicts.

But those who chose the Zuo Banner Army this time had no choice, because Zhao Wu's close personal guards who had been cultivated for many years were all in the Zuo Banner Army.

Although King Cang had previously dismissed him as the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Banner Army, he had been in charge of the Zuo Banner Army for many years and had a high prestige. Naturally, he still had trustworthy confidants in the army.

On the surface, his bodyguards have always been with him, but secretly they were the confidants of the Zuo Banner Army. After he was dismissed, they hid even deeper.

It was not until this time that he regained control of the Zuo Banner Army and even the Three Banners Army, and was able to use it again.

The group of confidants now placed in the Zuo Banner Army should all be reused.

He has even gradually placed these confidants of the Left Banner Army into the Central Banner Army and the Right Banner Army, assuming slightly higher-level military positions, and gradually gathered the foundation of the Three Banners Army into his hands.

——

The east part of the city is located.

Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back and looked up.

It's a dark, windy, murderous night.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, the breeze is cool, but it is also a comfortable night.

At this moment, there was already a person behind him.

This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a humble and fawning look on his eyebrows. He seems to be used to groveling.

"Zhao Wu's elite confidants have gone to the Right Banner Army. They will turn back within an hour. I have been ordered to invite Mr. Thirteen to go to the road they must pass and wait for their return." The middle-aged man bowed and said.

"Aren't you in the military?" Zhuang Ming turned around and said coldly.

"Lieutenant generals in the army will count the number of people every night. Those who leave the camp without any reason will be dealt with according to military law." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "So the people who came to summon us are just villains."

"You are not from the army, but you know the trends in the army." Zhuang Ming said slowly: "What is the connection with the army?"

"The villain is the owner of the wine shop. He is a member of the Zuo Banner Army. He often drinks there, so it is easy to receive news from his companions." The owner of the wine shop said: "The villain already knows the route tonight. It is a little far away from the military camp.

On the way, I waited first and saw forty-eight elite soldiers from the Zuo Banner Army coming out of the camp, so I came to invite Mr. Thirteen."

"Although the Taiyuan Sect is an outsider sect, it does have a lot of chess pieces in the mortal world of the Chu Dynasty." Zhuang Ming looked strange and said: "I don't know how many disciples who have achieved success in practice.

We have penetrated into the Great Chu, but there are countless informants like you, who have penetrated into the mortal world and mixed with the bottom of the market. They are everywhere, and even the bachelor's palace of the Great Chu Dynasty will have a hard time finding them out."

"Mr. Thirteen is ridiculous." The owner of the wine shop obviously did not want to reveal too much about this matter. As soon as the conversation changed, he said loudly: "Shall we leave now?"

"Let's go." Zhuang Ming said: "After they capture your companions, the only way they will return should not be too far."

"Not far." The owner of the wine shop responded, paused again, as if he wanted to explain something, and finally said in a low voice: "We, the disciples, are dull in qualifications and have difficulty in cultivation. We can offer this body to the Taiyuan Sect.

A worthy death."

"But I don't want to die yet." Zhuang Ming stood with his hands behind his hands and asked aloud.

"Mr. Thirteen, what do you mean?" the wine shop owner asked.

"My assassination of Zhao Wu this time was not a desperate move, nor was it to drag him to death together. No matter whether I succeeded or not, after I made the killing move, I should have escaped before the three-banner army surrounded me." Zhuang Ming said: "Previously I

I made a plan on how to escape unscathed after the assassination, and I also passed it on to you, Master Taiyuan, how did it go?"

"The retreat has been taken care of," the wine shop owner responded.

"Then let's take a detour and see for myself whether Taiyuan Zong's retreat prepared by me is really appropriate." Zhuang Ming nodded slightly and said.

"This..." the wine shop owner said hesitantly: "Time is tight, I'm afraid it's too late."

"There's enough time." Zhuang Ming said calmly.

"..." The wine shop owner's voice suddenly stopped, not knowing how to respond.

"Is it possible that the escape route I had considered was actually not properly prepared? Taiyuan Sect acted like this and wanted me to take action directly to kill Zhao Wu?" Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Is it possible that your Taiyuan Sect didn't?

Are you planning to leave a way out for me, Zhuang Ming, and just hope that I can die with him?"

"You absolutely don't dare..." The owner of the wine shop immediately prostrated himself and said hurriedly: "This sect has never given such instructions, and I don't dare to lie. Things have indeed been prepared."

"Then go take a look." Zhuang Ming reached out and patted his shoulder, and said calmly: "It's not urgent, there's still time."

——

As the commander of the Three Banners Army, Zhao Wu set up camp here, surrounded by large armies.

Even if we don't mention the army's formation, this place was originally the location of Prince Cang's Mansion.

The first palace in Dongyuan Realm has a large formation of thousands of miles. Although Song Cheng, the director of the Zhenyuan Sect, ambushed King Cang in a battle, many of the formations were damaged.

But now Zhao Wu's command has repaired many of them.

Once there is any movement here, Zhao Wu can not only summon a large army but also blockade all directions with a thought.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, it can be transformed into a universe and block all directions. Even if it is not as self-contained as the Four Elephants Demon Sealing Array, it still forms a cage-like existence.

And this can restrain the Yin Yang Escape Technique.

Shangyuan Fenshen's mind-turning technique, combined with the Yin-Yang escape technique, can be called the ultimate method of escaping in the world.

But such a method cannot make him invincible.

And now Zhuang Ming is very famous. With this technique, he was intercepted and killed by many Zhenxuan outside Taiyuan Sect, and he used it to escape... Gao Yunzhen at the beginning only let this escape technique be famous in the world, but only a few

Only monks at the Zhenxuan level are slightly curious. Those who are high in Zhenxuan and above regard it as normal.

Zhuang Ming let this escape spell reach the ears of all the great Zhenxuan monks. Even the most powerful Zhenxuan monks would not despise it.

If someone wanted to kill Zhuang Ming, they would definitely consider his ability to escape.

This time to assassinate Zhao Wu, if this formation is not broken, something will go wrong.

The method of breaking the formation was formulated by Zhuang Ming himself and left to the Taiyuan Sect.

"The twelve formation-breaking beads I asked you to prepare have all been buried secretly according to the orientation of the formation?" Zhuang Ming asked aloud while walking in the dark night, looking into the distance.

"They were all laid in advance and completed before the Zuo Banner Army changed camps. God didn't know it, ghosts didn't know it, and now the Zuo Banner Army doesn't know either." The owner of the wine shop responded.

"Take me along the twelve locations one by one and take a look at them from a distance, then I can rest assured."

Zhuang Ming said this, this formation-breaking bead is similar to the bronze formation flag he traded with King Cang, but it is not as amazing as the bronze flag. But to break the formation of the first palace of Dongyuan Realm, you only need to

Three.

As for the twelve, he asked Taiyuan Zong to bury them for safety.

The place where the formation-breaking beads are buried is quite crucial.

The place where the array-breaking beads were buried was chosen by Zhuang Ming.

The specialness of the place provides an additional layer of protection. Even if the Taiyuan Sect wanted to harm him, there would be no time to break the orb.

It was precisely for this reason that he had to personally explore his escape route before assassinating him. This was to be more secure. As long as there was no problem with the formation-breaking bead now, he would be able to use it to escape after he assassinated Zhao Wu. Taiyuan Zong

It was too late to cut off his retreat.

Half an hour later.

The restaurant owner was a little anxious.

"Mr. Thirteen, it won't take too long for the elite Zuo Banner Army to go and pick up people. I'm afraid they have already started their return journey. Have we delayed too long?"

"Soon." Zhuang Ming said calmly: "This is where the last formation-breaking bead is located? It's quite far away. After assassinating Zhao Wu, if I can get here, I can escape calmly without fear of three

The banner army surrounded and killed them."

"This is the place you specified. It's far enough away, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back later." The owner of the wine shop had a complicated look on his face.

"I have time, I just have something to do, please help me." Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back and said: "It was difficult to do things in the city before, but now we are far enough away, no one should notice, and there will be no Taiyuan

Did Zong’s spy notice it?”

"You..." An unspeakable chill suddenly rose in the wine shop owner's heart.

"No need to be restrained."

Zhuang Ming chuckled, stretched out his hand, and his sleeve passed by, hitting him on the top of the head.

The light suddenly burst out.

The wine shop owner's eyes suddenly fell into a trance.

——

And more than a thousand miles away.

The four troops of the Left Banner Army were all in the Right Banner Army. They captured the spies and escorted them back separately.

"There is some movement ahead, please slow down a little."

The young general who had reported in front of Zhao Wu during the day raised his hand and stopped everyone.

Whoosh!
