Destiny is ashes

Chapter 442: Master of Heavenly Secrets Ming Guangchen

how to respond?

An Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Three units of Chenli's elite military-level cavalry can unleash a power comparable to that of a divine treasure in a short period of time, which is roughly equivalent to three cluster-charged, reusable divine communication devices.

Like Linjiang City, Kuoyu City was a large city and neither had any magic weapons. However, Kuoyu City had a much larger population than Linjiang City and much more military force, but it was still easily conquered.

If those three cavalry units really came directly towards Linjiang City, An Jing didn't think he could stop them.

But the question is - now that Gu Yunzhi is here, how could he not have any plan and not mobilize any troops?

"When will our reinforcements arrive?"

He asked, and Gu Yunzhi replied: "Within three days, the state government will send 2,000 armed guards. You will have to gather the rest of the militia on your own."

"However, these two thousand people are not subordinate to me, but to the governor and the central government... You can understand, so it is not convenient for me to say more."

That is not bad.

An Jing nodded slightly. The number of two thousand people sounds small, but if they are facing an ordinary mortal army, two or three hundred thousand can also be killed. If properly deployed, it will be enough to confront the three cavalry battalions of Tieli head-on.

However, Linjiang City has suffered a serious population loss due to the actions of the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, and it is not possible to recruit many able-bodied militiamen. At best, a few hundred can be gathered for logistics. This aspect is rather troublesome, and perhaps I need to think of more solutions myself.

As for not being under Gu Yunzhi's command, it is normal. After Gu Yunzhi was appointed as a general, he was in charge of all the wars between Hanhai and Tieli. He won more victories than defeats and had many merits. There is no reason for him to take it all alone. Someone must have been sent to gild him.

"Who specifically?"

Gu Yunzhi shook his head: "This kind of troop support is usually led by a local official, and a central official is responsible for supervision and record keeping. I don't know who it is, so... I came here."

"However, this is only theoretical, because central government officials usually give orders to local governments, and it is difficult for local officials to communicate with these laymen."

Ha, I can tell as soon as I heard it that you have been bossed around too much, and you will never be able to suppress this resentment in your entire life.

As soon as An Jing heard it, he knew that this was the most classic case of a central layman leading local experts. Although the ancestors had anticipated this and required local governments to take the lead, the ancestors' ideas were good and it was normal for their descendants to implement them badly.

And...it turns out that Gu Yunzhi didn't know who was coming?

An Jing understood something in his mind and keenly grasped the real purpose of Gu Yunzhi's visit.

It seems that there is still a struggle in the Dachen government behind this. Gu Yunzhi also wants to find out who the central officials coming from his side are to analyze the situation behind it.

"Since the main force is the armed guards from the provincial government, we just need to make good use of the logistics and intelligence work."

An Jing said slowly while thinking, many methods flashed through his mind, such as "air attack, fire bombing, long-range sword box sniper decapitation, ambush trap, drone reconnaissance", etc.

Although he didn't want to reveal too much, with the attention he was getting now, he couldn't hide the fact that he possessed a large number of high-powered magical weapons, thunder beads. An Jing felt that instead of hiding it, it would be better to show it at the critical moment to gain the greatest benefit for himself and to justify his subsequent use of this series of means.

Therefore, An Jing's words immediately became fluent, and he said without hesitation: "My master Ming Guangchen left me many new magic tools that he usually studied. I feel that they will be of great help in this war, and I may be able to achieve extraordinary achievements by then."

"Your teacher?"

[Light dust?]

Gu Yunzhi and Chen Yinzi both made surprised noises. The former was a little surprised: "I do know that you have some powerful lightning beads. I thought they were from the Mingjing Sect, but I didn't expect that they were developed by Master Xuanjing himself?"

"I never thought that Master Xuan Jing is so versatile and actually has such a hidden talent."

Chen Yinzi was even more confused: [When did Guangchen learn all this? Did he learn it from some unknown place? ]

An Jing did not intend to answer the doubts of both parties. Anyway, before Ming Guangchen came back, his personality was that of a genius weapon cultivator and a hidden master of heavenly secrets. Anyway, he would not reveal any flaws in the Great Wilderness Realm, which was simply a perfect excuse.

At this point, An Jing's goal became clear. First, he had to stop the attack from the Tieli army. Although in theory, as a true disciple of the Mingjing Sect, An Jing would not be harmed by the Tieli army, if An Jing could not protect the city he was protecting, it would be a big blow to his reputation and the impression of everyone.

If it was the Tianyuan Realm, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal, but in the Huaixu Realm, this would be equivalent to weakening An Jing's foundation. It was a conspiracy of Hong Fu Zuohuan and even the Taiming Sect.

But if An Jing can defeat them head-on, he will naturally become famous and his destiny will improve.

Secondly, it was to find the Fuxie fragment. This mainly required waiting for the right time. The Immaculate Wood was now recovering its energy. After it recovered, the spiritual plant catalyzed by the center of the formation might be able to open a secret passage without damaging the seal, allowing An Jing to contact the Fuxie fragment.

But now it seems that every Fuxie fragment will suppress a source of demonic energy. The 'Tianmo Jiexin' suppressed by the Fuxie fragment in Xuanming Valley was rescued by Tianmo Xiuming, so the Fuxie fragment could be taken away by An Jing without causing too many sequelae. But if the fragments on the Duanren Mountain are taken out at will, it may cause a big Tianmo to revive, and Linjiang City will definitely be affected.

Finally, it is time to return to Mingjing Sect and take care of the affairs within the sect - this is the easiest. As long as An Jing achieves martial arts before returning to the sect, he will be invincible.

"I will first go to Broken Blade Mountain to survey the terrain and determine the next line of defense."

He did it as soon as he thought of it. An Jing stood up and did not bother to be polite with Gu Yunzhi: "As for General Gu, thank you for coming here to remind me of this confidential secret. If you want to continue to stay in the city, you can go around by yourself."

"Then I'll trouble City Lord An to entertain me." Gu Yunzhi nodded slightly, turned around, and turned back into an ordinary middle-aged envoy, sitting in the reception room drinking tea with a smile.

After leaving the reception room, An Jing said to Chen Yinzi in his heart: [Grandmaster, I have some things to do next, just like Master, to prepare for the next invasion of the Tieli Army... Grandmaster, you may not be able to go, so if it's not too much trouble, can you help me check the movements of this Dachen General? ]

[Oh? Same as Guangchen? Then I understand.]

Although Chen Yinzi didn't know Jinyuantian, nor did he know what Mingguangchen was doing when he disappeared, he knew that it was a great opportunity for Mingguangchen to grow.

It was a good thing that An Jing was one of them, so he didn't need to worry: [This kid must have other purposes. You can't monitor him, so let me do it.]

Using Jinyuantian as an excuse, An Jing respectfully placed his master's jade mirror in the center of his office desk, then summoned Teng Shuangbai in mid-air, rode away, flew to the side of Duanren Mountain, and then quietly disappeared into Huaixu Realm halfway.

In the reception room, Gu Yunzhi lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, looking thoughtful, thinking: "This An Jing is really as my granddaughter said, he is swift and resolute in doing things, has his own ideas, his strength is extremely extraordinary at this age, and he is also good at governing the place."

"It's fortunate that such a talent has fallen into Brother Guangchen's hands. Otherwise, he would have been hunted down by Dachen and lost among the crowd. If he had really been trained to be as domineering as the students at Shenjing Martial Academy, that would have been a real problem."

"But, it's strange... Did that group of people really withdraw all their forces? Or were they really caught by An Jing?"

This time, Gu Yunzhi came here not only to remind An Jing of the attack from the Tieli tribe, inform An Jing of the situation of the Mingjing Sect, and meet the senior brother recommended by his granddaughter, but also to observe whether the 'Linlang Chamber of Commerce' and the people behind it had left any tricks.

But no one knew whether An Jing killed them all or they hid well, so Gu Yunzhi didn't see any clues at all.

"What a strange thing... You inexplicably withdrew the divine weapons, isolated the three Broken Blade Cities, and abandoned the three layers of guarding of the Imperial Court's earth veins, sky and sea dragon energy... After you conservatives won the battle for reform, what exactly are you planning to do?"

His thoughts slowly calmed down, and when Gu Yunzhi raised his eyes again, his expression was as calm as frost: "Perhaps, An Jing knows more, but he just didn't share the news with me - he defeated the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, and it is even possible that he killed one of General Longwu's juniors. He definitely knows more than I thought."

"The question is, how can I make him trust me... and share intelligence with me?"

If An Jing knew what Gu Yunzhi was thinking, he would definitely say "just give the money".

After all, Gu Yunzhi was an old acquaintance of Ming Guangchen, a subordinate of King Jing, the grandfather of Gu Yeqi, and had a relationship with Chaowu Zhenchi. Even if he was not a comrade-in-arms fighting side by side with An Jing, he was at least an ally with similar goals - telling the other party about the 'Civil and Military Formation Plate' and the 'New Dragon Qi Outside the Imperial Court' would actually allow them to be better tied to the chariot.

But now, An Jing, who is in the unmanned recycling hut, has only one thing to do.

Group message: [Hello, Huo Qing, Nian Quan, are you there? ]

Huo Qing, Nian Quan: [in]

【What's up? 】

An Jing was a little surprised to receive a reply from both of them at the same time, because this meant that they should act together, but he didn't think much about it, and sent a message using the water mirror: [If I want to buy military weapons, what channel should I go through? ]
