Chapter 355: Cui Zeyuan Is Ambitious
After bidding farewell to Wanchongshan, Han Zheng and Su Wuming left the city without delay.
After leaving the Demon-Slaying Division, Han Zheng met Liansheng at the city gate.
"Master Liansheng hasn't left yet?"
Liansheng said with a smile: "We have to go back to Dabei Temple today. Such a big thing happened at the Weapon Casting Conference. I have to go back to the temple to report to my master.
Is Mr. Han also going to return to the Demon-Slaying Division?"
Han Zheng shook his head: "I am different. I have a hard life and I have to carry out the tasks of the Demon-Slaying Division.
This time, Master Liansheng, please help me see if I am still covered by the killing calamity?"
Liansheng smiled bitterly: "My perception is very accurate on other people, but not so accurate on you, Mr. Han.
The killing calamity power in you is changing all the time, and it is even more drastic at this time, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
But most of the time you are almost covered by the killing calamity.
So Mr. Han, no matter what task you go to perform, you must remember to be careful."
"Thank you Master Liansheng for reminding me. We will meet again if we are destined to."
Han Zheng didn't waste much time. After chatting with Liansheng for a few words, he took Su Wuming out of the city.
In fact, Liansheng's feeling is still very accurate. Han Zheng has killed so many people, and there are so many people who want to kill him. Naturally, the killing calamity on him is serious.
And every choice he makes will cause changes in the killing calamity on him, which is indeed not so easy to predict.
Liansheng looked at Han Zheng's back as he left, and shook his head with some regret.
He could see that Han Zheng was definitely going to kill people this time.
If he didn't have to go back to Dabei Temple, he would definitely kill people with Han Zheng, no, it was to save people.
When the backs of Han Zheng and Su Wuming disappeared, Liansheng also put his hands together and walked towards the direction of Dabei Temple.
…………
Five days later, outside Yanbo Mansion.
The Yanbo Mansion, which was prosperous in the past, was now in ruins.
The gate of Yanbo Mansion was completely sealed, and the giant crossbows and artillery carts used to defend the city during the Black Mountain Old Demon Rebellion were moved to the top of the city.
But what they have to face are not ordinary enemies but dense demons!
Most of these demons are water monsters, including fish demons, turtle demons, toads, crocodiles, and so on.
Some are not even demons, and have no demonic power at all, but they grow so huge and terrifying for some unknown reason.
For example, there is a strange fish monster more than ten feet long under the city wall at this time. It has infinite power, but it has four legs with scales under its body, which is extremely strange and hideous.
These fish monsters can't climb up the city wall, so they keep hitting the city gate until they hit their heads and bleed, and even die directly under the city gate.
It is also because of this that Yanbo Mansion completely closed the city gate.
At this time, the people in Yanbo Mansion have been moved to the inner city.
There are thousands of soldiers guarding the city on the city wall, operating the city defense equipment, or using bows and arrows to kill those low-level demons.
But the real contributors are the people of the Demon-Slaying Division, as well as Wen Jingyun and other people from the underworld forces of Yanbo Mansion.
After about an hour of fighting, the demons finally retreated.
However, the crowd had no intention of relaxing.
This group of demons was extremely regular. As long as they killed more than half of them, they would temporarily retreat.
But demons continued to crawl out of the Yanbo Lake. When their number accumulated to a certain level, they would start to attack again, over and over again.
After a few days, they were already a little overwhelmed.
"What the hell is this!"
Poji Sect leader Tuoba Feng sat beside Wen Jingyun with a tired face, spitting and cursing.
Wen Jingyun sighed, "It's also our bad luck that we have such a bad guy. Alas, it would have been better if Lord Han hadn't left Yanbo Mansion."
"If I had known that the Demon-Slaying Captain who took over Lord Han was such a bastard, I should have killed him first!"
While cursing, Tuoba Feng looked fiercely at Cui Zeyuan, who was also sitting on the city wall to rest, and was served by two Xuanjia Guards.
When Cui Zeyuan first took over Yanbo Mansion, his performance was quite good.
After all, at that time, everything in Yanbo Mansion was arranged by Han Zheng. As long as Cui Zeyuan followed the rules, basically nothing would go wrong.
Although Tuoba Feng and other Jianghu forces were dissatisfied with Cui Zeyuan, they would not be enemies with Cui Zeyuan if there was no conflict of interest.
However, the later the period, the more uncomfortable Cui Zeyuan felt.
Whatever policy he wanted to implement in Yanbo Mansion, the people below always said that it was decided when Lord Han was in power.
He wanted to talk to the Jianghu sects such as Poji Sect, but they didn't even pay attention to him, which made Cui Zeyuan secretly resentful.
Especially after Han Zheng took charge of Kuizi Camp and made great contributions in Taishan Mansion, Cui Zeyuan was under greater pressure.
When Han Zheng took charge of Yanbo Mansion, he made achievements that were obvious to all.
Now he is in charge of Yanbo Mansion but his performance is mediocre, which can only be said to be neither meritorious nor demerited.
After Han Zheng took charge of Kuiziying, he also made many achievements. What does this mean?
It means that Han Zheng is capable, and Cui Zeyuan is a mediocre person!
So since then, Cui Zeyuan changed his previous cautiousness and began to become radical in doing things.
He couldn't stand being so much inferior to Han Zheng.
Internally, Cui Zeyuan wanted to change the previous distribution plan of the spiritual field and mineral veins between Han Zheng and these sect forces to earn more profits for the Demon-Slaying Division.
Externally, didn't Han Zheng clear the demons outside the Yanbo Lake? Then he had to clear the demons in the center of Yanbo Lake and open up the water route.
But Cui Zeyuan was a typical person with great ambitions but little talent.
He led people to the center of Yanbo Lake to eliminate the demons, but he came back in disgrace, and suffered heavy casualties, with more than ten Xuanjia Guards killed.
Fortunately, all the dead were his confidants.
Han Zheng took office alone at the beginning, and Cui Zeyuan had Wu Yunfei as his backer, so he brought more than 30 elite Xuanjia Guards from the headquarters to take office, and he had his own confidants.
Then Cui Zeyuan went to inform Wen Jingyun and others of the plan to redistribute the mineral field and spiritual field, but Wen Jingyun and others were naturally unwilling.
Lord Han had such a big advantage at the beginning, but he didn't treat us so harshly. Who do you think you are, Cui Zeyuan, if you want to change Lord Han's distribution plan?
So Wen Jingyun and the others discussed it and each took the elite of the sect to Yanbo Mansion to prepare to give Cui Zeyuan a head start.
They just fell out while talking, but before they could do anything, the demons outside began to attack the city and surrounded the entire Yanbo Mansion.
Tuoba Feng and the others didn't want to die with Cui Zeyuan.
He was the captain of the Demon-Slaying Division of Yanbo Mansion, and it was impossible for him to abandon the city and flee.
But Tuoba Feng and the others didn't care.
They had also tried to break out together, but they all failed.
There were too many demons outside, one layer after another, and they were almost exhausted but couldn't break out.
In desperation, they could only stay in Yanbo Mansion, help the Demon-Slaying Division to defend the city, and then wait for the support of the Demon-Slaying Division.
With such a large-scale demon attack, the Demon Suppression Division will definitely provide support.
However, this does not prevent Tuoba Feng and his men from hating Cui Zeyuan in their hearts.
It was this bastard who caused the trouble. If it weren't for him, how could they have fallen into such a situation?
And even if there were no demons attacking the city, Cui Zeyuan's forced change of the distribution plan of those mineral spiritual fields would have offended Tuoba Feng and his men to death, and the two sides might even have a fight.
At this time, Tuoba Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Cui Zeyuan, saying in a cold voice: "It was all caused by this bastard. I think he is even responsible for the demons attacking the city!
When have so many demons come ashore in Yanbo Mansion in so many years? And some demons are so evil.
It just so happened that he went to the center of Yanbo Lake and attracted so many demons. Could this be a coincidence?
And he has been giving blind orders here these days. We and the Demon-Slaying Division have no way to unite against the enemy.
Master Wen, if I kill him now, can we break out?"
Wen Jingyun was shocked. You can't say this nonsense.
