Chapter 1138
Upon hearing Ma Ming's words, Wang Can, beaming with joy, nodded emphatically.
For them, once the late emperor is reincarnated and regains power, they will all be considered "loyal ministers who followed the emperor into the future"!
If their boss gets to eat meat, they can get sick just by drinking soup!
This was one of their few opportunities to enter the aristocratic class.
As for what will happen if we fail...
Emperor Qiming had been planning for so many years, how could he possibly be defeated by a mere woman?
What's more, this woman is Emperor Qiming's own daughter.
"General Wang..."
"According to the Six Monks, when Yang Zeqing sent these two men to contact us, the Jiujiang Navy's assault battalion launched a surprise attack on Shuzhou."
He also said that at this time, the encirclement by the Jiujiang Navy had not yet been completed.
"Let's take this opportunity to leave in an orderly manner. Otherwise, if the Jiujiang Navy really surrounds us from three sides, we will have lost too many men."
"As for which direction to leave, we will be notified as soon as the two of them deliver the [True Soul Puppet]."
Upon hearing Ma Ming's words, Wang Can smiled broadly and said, "Okay, okay!"
"As expected of Yang Gongfeng, who is highly valued by the higher-ups, he does things meticulously."
"Here's what you're going to do: make arrangements for our core personnel. Tell them to be ready to evacuate at any time tonight. But the news must not leak out."
"Also, inform Shaman Tu Yu. Ask him tonight to help verify whether the [True Soul Puppet] they brought is genuine."
"If there are no mistakes, immediately send them back to their 'hometown' under the supervision of the shaman Tu Yu!"
After Wang Can finished speaking, Ma Ming nodded emphatically and said, "Understood!"
"But General Wang, if we retreat without a fight and voluntarily abandon the first line of defense, we will be severely punished by the imperial court."
"hehe."
Upon hearing this, Wang Can sneered, "Severe punishment? Once our master's 'Overturning Heaven and Earth' plan succeeds, we'll reward him handsomely!"
"Of course, we should avoid direct confrontation until the plan is truly successful."
"But don't worry, the higher-ups have already arranged a place for us."
"After we leave Shuzhou, the people from the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall will come to our aid."
"At that time, our people will be transformed into disciples of the Thunderbolt Hall. According to the plan, they will be dispersed and sent to Jiangnan and Jiangxi."
"Once our master regains power, we will cooperate with the generals of Jiangnan and Jiangxi to recover the region."
'Hiss.'
When Wang Can slowly revealed the entire plan, Ma Ming, who gasped in surprise, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
One link leads to another, and they are all interconnected!
"Brilliant, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
"Nonsense, this scheme has been planned for decades."
"On the day of our success, all those powerful figures, like the Divine Mechanism Bureau and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, will either submit or die."
After Wang Can finished speaking, Ma Ming nodded emphatically.
Suddenly remembering something, he immediately asked, "I've heard that Xu the Butcher is causing quite a stir in Shu County. Now, he almost controls the entire Shu army."
"He is an absolute direct descendant of Emperor Jingtai and the Celestial Master."
"What if they interfere and ruin our important plans?"
"It is said that this fiend is already preparing to return to the capital."
After Ma Ming finished speaking, Wang Can sneered, "Xu Shan?"
"By the time he realized all this, it was too late."
"At the current pace, no one can stop our master's plan to [overturn the world]."
"Don't worry about it."
"He, Xu Shan, is a human being, not a god."
"We can't control everything!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ming nodded and said, "I understand."
"Go and arrange it!"
"Everything must be perfect."
"You've met those two contacts; tonight, you'll personally escort them to Shuzhou."
"Yes."
Just as Wang Can was brimming with confidence, dreaming of becoming a 'loyal minister who had helped the emperor rise to power,' Zhang Liansong and Wang Wushang, disguised as guards of the Prince's palace and having met with Ma Ming, escorted the Six Monks back to the Jiujiang Navy's current assembly point—Wangjiang!
This place is only a little over a hundred miles away from Shuzhou.
This would allow Xu Shan to readily deploy the Jiujiang navy.
"grown ups!"
"Hmm? How did the rendezvous go?"
"Everything went smoothly. The Six Monks were very cooperative!"
Upon hearing Wang Wushang's words, Xu Shan, who was originally facing the map, turned his head to look at the hunched-over Sixth Monk.
He appears to be no different from a normal person on the surface, but his body is actually riddled with holes.
The reason why the Six Monks were willing to cooperate with the Embroidered Uniform Guard's operation was that they had only one request—that their crimes not extend to their family members, and that they could die a quick and painless death.
"Did you just say goodbye to your family?"
"Goodbye."
'Plop.'
After saying this, the Six Monks immediately knelt on the ground and added, "Thank you, Imperial Envoy Xu, for your accommodations. According to my mother and her children, Lord Xu not only provided them with sufficient silver but also gave them travel permits and changed their names to prevent them from being held accountable later."
"Now, all I ask is that Imperial Envoy Xu can give me a quick death."
Seeing the certainty in Zhang Liansong and Wang Wushang's eyes, and confirming that the rendezvous that evening would proceed without incident, Xu Shan raised his right arm and opened his palm in the air.
'boom.'
The next second, a surge of powerful energy suddenly attached itself to the bald head of the Six Monks.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a strong suction force forcibly pulling away his remaining cultivation technique.
"what!"
This process takes only a few dozen breaths.
'Plop.'
As the six monks, their pupils wide open, collapsed to the ground, Zhang Liansong and Wang Wushang stared wide-eyed at their master.
"My lord, what kind of technique is this?"
"Why does it look so much like evil martial arts?"
Xu Shan, without hiding anything from the two of them, immediately replied, "The Northern Darkness Divine Art!"
'Hiss.'
Upon hearing this, the two couldn't help but gasp.
"That evil martial art, long lost in the martial arts world, that specifically absorbs other people's internal energy and uses it for one's own purposes?"
As soon as Zhang Liansong finished speaking, Wang Wushang, with a serious expression, interrupted him, asking, "What kind of evil technique?"
"Any martial arts technique that adults practice is a divine skill."
"Damn. Brother Wushang, with your level of awareness, you're guaranteed a promotion to commander of a thousand households when you return to the capital this time," Zhang Gou Dan joked, covering his face.
At this moment, Master Xu, who was smiling without saying a word, was using this skill for the first time. Therefore, he was trying to understand its profound meaning from the perspective of the user.
After completing the first task of [Zhu Youping and Zhu Youduan's Last Wish]—to thwart Yang Zeqing's conspiracy within a limited time—the system reward [Fifty Years of Cultivation, Northern Darkness Divine Art] arrived in my account promptly.
Xu Shan applied all of his fifty years of cultivation to this skill.
Furthermore, his own foundation as a pseudo-saint has allowed him to cultivate this skill to its ultimate perfection.
With this set of techniques, Xu Shan no longer needed to simply perceive and refine his internal energy from the world in order to acquire sufficient internal strength.
Theoretically speaking, any opponent can be a 'reservoir' for him to quickly replenish his internal energy.
