The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

into the night.

child time.

Forty-eight elite left banner troops left the barracks at night, divided into four groups, each with twelve soldiers, and headed for the four scattered military camps of the right banner army.

Logically speaking, even if it is to capture Tai Yuanzong's spies hidden in the Right Banner Army, it should be an internal matter of the Right Banner Army. It is handled by the people of the Right Banner Army. If the Left Banner Army goes there, there will inevitably be conflicts.

But the people who chose the Zuo Banner Army this time were really helpless, because the confidants Zhao Wu had cultivated for many years were all in the Zuo Banner Army.

Although he was dismissed from the position of commander of the Zuo Banner Army by King Cang before, he has been in charge of the Zuo Banner Army for many years and has a high prestige, so he naturally has trustworthy confidants in the army.

On the surface, the personal guards have been with him all the time, but secretly hidden in 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 Left Banner Army, and even the Three Banner Army, that he was able to be used again.

Now this group of confidantes placed in the Zuo Banner Army should also be reused.

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

——

The east of the city is located.

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

The night is dark and the wind is high to kill people.

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

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

This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, with a humble and flattering expression on his brows, as if he is used to bowing his knees in normal times.

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

"Aren't you from the army?" Zhuang Ming turned his head and said coldly.

"Soldiers in the army, count the number of people every night, and those who leave the camp without reason will be dealt with by military law." The middle-aged man smiled wryly, and said: "So those who came to interrogate are just villains."

"You're not in the army, but you know what's going on in the army." Zhuang Ming said slowly, "What's the connection with the army?"

"The villain is the owner of the restaurant, and the Zuoqi Army often drinks there, so it is easy to receive news from his companions." The restaurant owner said: "The villain already knows the route tonight, and it is a little far away from the barracks. On the way, I waited first, and when I saw forty-eight elite soldiers from the Left Banner Army leaving the camp, I came to invite Mr. Thirteen."

"Although Taiyuanzong is an immortal sect outside the world, it did put a lot of chess pieces in the mortal world of the Great Chu Dynasty." Zhuang Ming looked strange, and said: "I don't know how many disciples who have succeeded in cultivation have already passed away." Infiltrated into the Great Chu, but there are countless eyeliners like you, infiltrated into the mortal world, mixed in the bottom of the market, everywhere, even the scholar's mansion of the Great Chu Dynasty, it is difficult to find out."

"Mr. Thirteen's absurd." The owner of the restaurant obviously didn't want to reveal too much about this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "Shall we leave now?"

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

"Not far." The owner of the restaurant responded, then paused again, as if he wanted to explain something, and finally said in a low voice: "My disciples are dull in aptitude and difficult to practice. If we can offer this remnant body to Taiyuanzong, A worthy death."

"But I don't want to die yet." Zhuang Ming asked aloud, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Shisan, what do you mean?" the owner of the restaurant asked.

"I assassinated Zhao Wu this time. I didn't put all my eggs in one basket, nor did I want to pull him to the end. No matter whether I succeed or not, I should run away after I made the ultimate move and before the three banners surrounded me." Zhuang Ming said: "Before I made a plan on how to get out of the body after the assassination, and passed it on to you Taiyuan Sect Master, how is it going?"

"The retreat has been done." The owner of the restaurant replied.

"Then take a detour, and I'll see for myself whether Taiyuanzong's retreat route I prepared is really appropriate." Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, and said.

"This..." The owner of the restaurant hesitated and said, "Time is running out, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"In time." Zhuang Ming said calmly.

"..." The voice of the restaurant owner stopped suddenly, not knowing how to respond.

"Could it be that I have considered a retreat, but I haven't actually prepared it properly? Taiyuanzong wants me to do it directly and kill Zhao Wu by acting like this?" Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Could it be that Taiyuanzong didn't Are you going to leave a way for Zhuang Ming to retreat, just hoping that I can die with him?"

"Don't dare..." The owner of the restaurant immediately bowed down, and hurriedly said: "There is absolutely no such order in this sect, and the villain does not dare to speak nonsense. The matter is indeed ready."

"Then go and have a look." Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said calmly: "There is no rush, there is still time."

——

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

Even without mentioning the formation of the army, this was originally the location of Cangwang Mansion.

The first mansion in the Eastern Yuan Realm was covered with a grand array of thousands of miles. Although Song Cheng, the director of the Zhenyuan Sect, killed King Cang in the battle, the array was damaged a lot.

But now under Zhao Wu's command, many of them have been repaired.

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

Within a radius of 10,000 li, it can be transformed into a universe and block all directions. Even if it is not as self-contained as the Four Elephants Sealing Demon Formation, it still forms a cage-like existence.

And this can restrain the Yin-Yang escape technique.

The technique of Shangyuan's deification and mind transformation, combined with the technique of escape from yin and yang, can be called the ultimate way to escape in the world.

But such a method cannot make him invincible.

Moreover, the current Zhuang Ming has a great reputation. With this technique, he was intercepted and killed by many Zhenxuan outside Taiyuanzong, and he used this technique to escape... Gao Yunzhen at the beginning only let this escape technique become famous in the world, but only a few The monks of the Zhenxuan series are a little curious about their talents, and those who are above the high level of Zhenxuan regard them as normal.

And Zhuang Ming let this escape spell spread to the ears of all the great cultivators of Zhenxuan, and even the most powerful Zhenxuan would not take it lightly.

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

This time to assassinate Zhao Wu, if the formation is not broken, there will be mistakes.

The method of breaking the formation was formulated by Zhuang Ming himself and handed over to Tai Yuanzong to act.

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

"It has been buried in advance, and it was completed before the Zuo Banner army changed camp. God doesn't know it, and people don't know it. Now the Zuo Banner army doesn't know it either." The restaurant owner replied.

"Along with the twelve locations, take me there one by one, and take a look at them from a distance, so that I can rest assured."

In Zhuang Ming's words, this formation-breaking bead is similar to the bronze formation flag he traded with King Cang, but it is far less amazing than the bronze flag. three.

As for the twelve, he asked Tai Yuanzong to bury them for safety.

The place where the Array Breaking Bead is buried is quite critical.

Zhuang Ming chose the place where the array breaking beads were buried.

The special place provided a layer of protection, even if Tai Yuanzong wanted to entrap him, it would be too late to break the orb in a short while.

It is precisely because of this that before the assassination, he had to personally explore his own escape route. This is for the sake of safety. As long as there is no problem with the array-breaking beads, after he assassinates Zhao Wu, it will be enough to escape. It was too late to cut off his retreat.

After half an hour.

The restaurant owner was a little anxious.

"Mr. Thirteen, it won't take too long for the Zuoqi Army's elite to go get them. I'm afraid they have already started their return journey. Did we delay too long?"

"Soon." Zhuang Ming said flatly: "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 was besieged and killed."

"This is the place you specified. It's really far away, but I'm afraid it's really too late for the return trip later." The owner of the restaurant showed a complicated expression.

"It's not too late, but there is one thing, please help me." Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back and said, "It was not easy to do things in the city before, but now we are far enough away, no one should notice, and there will be no Tai Yuan." Did Zong's eyeliner notice it?"

"You..." An unspeakable chill suddenly rose in the heart of the restaurant owner.

"You don't have to be restrained."

Zhuang Ming chuckled, stretched out his hand and waved his sleeve, and immediately hit him on the top of the head.

The light suddenly came out.

The owner of the restaurant suddenly lost his eyes.

——

And more than a thousand miles away.

The four soldiers and horses of the Left Banner Army have all been captured by the Right Banner Army, and they were escorted back separately.

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

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

Shout!

The moment he raised his hand!

Among the twelve riders behind him, five of them drew their swords and slashed at their companions suddenly!

Blood spattered in the night.

Five people drew their swords, but they were caught off guard and fell off their horses.

The other two were stunned, never thought that Pao Ze, who usually lived and died together, would draw their swords to face each other.

But before they could react, the young general also pulled out his sword and chopped off two heads.

"I only blame you seven. You have a good relationship with me on weekdays, but you are not mine after all."

The young general sighed, and said, "Tonight, it's done, and I'll bury you tomorrow."

At the same time, the other three groups of soldiers and horses were all attacked, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

Some Taiyuanzong spies have been robbed.

Some Taiyuanzong spies were still captured.

His spies along the way must stay.

"The three juniors, I'm afraid it's hard to escape this disaster."

The young general looked at the three soldiers of the Right Banner Army. These were the people Tai Yuanzong had infiltrated into the Right Banner Army.

In order to win Zhao Wu's trust even more, it is better for the three of them to stay.

After finishing speaking, the young general sighed, took the military order from his waist, and passed on a message.

"Attacked on the way, six people were killed and two were injured."
