He swayed before regaining his balance.
Behind them were the personal guards of the King of Liang.
Seeing the King of Liang, who remained unmoved even in the face of a massive army, sway...
They quickly gathered around.
Just as he was about to reach out to help King Liang up,
But the King of Liang had already secured his position.
It was as if the previous scene was just an illusion.
However, Lü Fang could see that the King of Liang's once upright back had become somewhat hunched.
It was clear that King Liang had indeed shaken just now.
This news was a great blow to the King of Liang.
Zhao Yuan murmured, "Didn't you send me a letter before?"
"You've already broken through,"
"Have you met up with Lü Shinang?"
"The Western Army has all returned to Shaanxi,"
"Only Tong Guan remains as a eunuch in Jiangnan,"
"Could he possibly kill you?"
"It was my carelessness,"
"I thought even if you couldn't avenge Fang La,"
"There will be no danger to your life,"
"I didn't send anyone to look for you."
"I never imagined it would lead to your death."
"Don't worry, I will raise an army to avenge you right away."
Fang Jie saw Zhao Yuan looking distraught.
Talking to himself
I was also deeply moved.
It was not in vain that my aunt was so devoted to Zhao Yuan.
"It wasn't Tong Guan who killed my aunt,"
"It was Lü Shinang who killed my aunt."
The truth struck Zhao Yuan like a thunderbolt, waking him up.
Zhao Yuan's tiger-like eyes snapped open as he stared at Fang Jie.
"Lu Shi Nang?"
Fang Jie nodded and said, "After my aunt and I broke out of Bangyuan Cave,"
"The original intention of joining forces with Lü Shinang was to avenge the Holy Duke and the others,"
"But that eunuch Tong Guan has adopted a scorched-earth policy,"
"The army is not getting supplies,"
"We cannot attack Huzhou,"
"The only option is to head south,"
"They captured Wenzhou."
"But later, my aunt and Lü Shinang had a disagreement,"
"My aunt advocated leading troops north to assassinate Tong Guan,"
"But Lü Shinang wanted to march south and attack Fujian Road,"
"While the states are out of supplies,"
"To seize more territory."
"My aunt had already made arrangements with Lü Shinang,"
"We need to send people to Huzhou to spread the news,"
"It is said that the Western Xia people invaded Shaanxi,"
"They are looting Shaanxi on a massive scale,"
"They wanted to sow discord among Tong Guan's 20,000 personal guards."
"If this plan works,"
"Then lead the troops north to attack Huzhou,"
"If this strategy fails,"
"Then he led his troops south to attack Fujian Road."
"I just didn't expect that Master Lü would harbor such treacherous intentions,"
"That day, my aunt and I were practicing martial arts in the city,"
"Lu Shinang's trusted confidant, the 'Sky-Supporting God' Shen Gang, has suddenly arrived,"
"They said the King of Liang sent someone to deliver a message to my aunt,"
"He was shot by Song Dynasty soldiers,"
"He was on the verge of death outside the city and could not move."
Chapter 1709 The Demise of the Ming Cult
"My aunt heard that the King of Liang sent someone with a message,"
"Come with me out of the city immediately."
"I never imagined this was Shen Gang's scheme,"
"He has already laid an ambush of archers on both sides of the mountain,"
"They wanted to shoot us."
"Fortunately, Brother Du Wei broke through from Bangyuan Cave,"
"They also came to Wenzhou to meet,"
"Those archers seem suspicious,"
"I've been watching from the sidelines the whole time."
"When I saw that they were about to shoot me and my aunt,"
"Then they scattered the archers."
"There are just too many archers,"
"My aunt was unfortunately shot in the chest."
Zhao Yuan thought for a moment,
He then guessed Lü Shinang's motive and said painfully,
"I had already sent someone to fetch you to travel north,"
"But you rejected me,"
"You must fight against the Song army together with your brother."
"Your brother is dead,"
"You're going to avenge your brother again."
"But without your brother,"
"Why would anyone want you to give them command?"
Fang Jie said, "My aunt said before she died,"
"She originally intended to avenge the Holy Duke,"
"I came here to find you."
Zhao Yuan said, "If she comes looking for me,"
"I will also help her get revenge,"
"Did I help her kill Tong Guan?"
"Isn't it the same as the Manichaeans helping her kill Tong Guan?"
Zhao Yuan had only said it casually originally.
But after this thought arose...
But this made Zhao Yuan think of many things.
Fang Jie hurriedly said, "Auntie believes in Prince Liang,"
"My aunt just wanted to use Manichaeans to avenge the Holy Father."
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "Perhaps she also wants to fight for something more for Manichaeism."
"I just never expected that she would die at the hands of the Manichaeans in the end."
Fang Jie also didn't know how to answer this question.
If Manichaeism really did conquer Huzhou
That could very well sweep through Jiangnan again.
By then, Manichaeism had taken over Jiangnan.
Even if the Great Liang destroyed the Western Xia...
Unify the North
Could Manichaeism really be willing to hand over Jiangnan to the Great Liang?
I'm afraid everyone would be thinking of dividing the country with the Liang dynasty and ruling separately along the river.
Fang Jie remained silent.
Du Wei was even less likely to speak up.
Zhao Yuan saw that Fang Jie remained silent.
I've also come to understand some things.
"Did Baihua's plan work?"
Speaking of which,
Fang Jie gritted his teeth in anger.
When they headed north,
Then they heard that many of Tong Guan's personal guards from Huzhou had deserted.
Tong Guan closed the city gates.
To prevent his personal guards from deserting,
But his personal guards mutinied.
They almost burned Huzhou down.
In the end, Tong Guan had no choice but to order the city gates to be opened.
Let the personal guards who wanted to return to Shaanxi leave the city.
At the same time, the salary was increased significantly.
