Chapter 1437 Return to Moonlight City
Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei are both important officials of Nanping State. Their importance to Nanping State is self-evident. Wu Ya and Wu Fan understand their importance, and I believe Cai Cheng also understands it.
If Zhao Xingnian and Qin Wei were in the city at this time, it would definitely not be as chaotic as it is now.
Unfortunately, these two people are not in the city at this time, which also gives some other monsters and demons the opportunity to come out and make trouble.
"I have sent people to find Minister Zhao and Minister Qin along the way." Wu Ya said.
Wu Fan nodded and said, "What about Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan? Have they made any unusual moves recently? I remember that they seem to be close to Cai Cheng."
"These two have been quite well behaved recently." Wu Ya said, "Since Cai Cheng rebelled, I sent people to keep an eye on them, but I didn't find any unusual moves. They both closed their doors and refused to see visitors. They haven't gone out for a long time. However, it is possible that they hid well and the people I sent didn't find them."
"There is definitely something wrong with these two." Wu Fan said, "Even if they don't support Cai Cheng explicitly, they will definitely not support you firmly. These two are absolutely untrustworthy!"
Although Wu Fan didn't have much contact with Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan, he found that they were both sophisticated egoists. When they considered things, they often considered their own interests first, and then thought of other things.
When the Black Water Kingdom attacked the Nanping Kingdom before, these two firmly supported peace. At that time, they didn't take Wu Ya seriously. The current situation is more dangerous than before. Can you expect these two to firmly support Wu Ya?
That's just a joke.
Wu Ya nodded and said, "I understand. These two people have never really supported me. In the current situation, it is even more impossible for them to stand on my side. Since Cai Cheng's rebellion, I have summoned ministers to the palace for discussion many times, but these two have always claimed to be sick and did not come."
Wu Ya is not a confused person. In the current situation, she knows who she should trust and who she should not trust. Obviously, Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan are untrustworthy people. Even at present, Wu Ya has not found any unusual movements from them.
"By the way, not long ago, Chen Wende sent someone to report that last night, some soldiers in the city tried to burn the catapult, but he saw through it and those soldiers have been annihilated by him." Wu Ya remembered what the people sent by Chen Wende said before Wu Fan came back.
"It seems that those people in the city can no longer hold back." Wu Fan smiled.
"Should we take down the rest of them?" Wu Ya asked.
At this time, Wu Ya already knew that Wu Fan had found out the insider of Cai Cheng in the city's garrison.
"Not for the time being, it's more useful to keep them in the army than to kill them." Wu Fan said: "I hope these people can be a little calm and don't act so quickly."
Wu Ya didn't understand Wu Fan's words, but this did not affect her trust in Wu Fan. Seeing that Wu Fan had made a decision, she didn't ask any more questions.
After Wu Fan came back, Wu Ya didn't stay in his room for long, and soon returned to her own palace. After staying up all night, she also needed to rest.
Wu Fan, on the other hand, went up to the top of the city.
"Sir." Chen Wende saluted when he saw Wu Fan coming.
"Yes." Wu Fan nodded: "I already know what happened last night. Those people probably acted on their own, otherwise, they wouldn't have so few people acting."
"I think so too." Chen Wende bowed.
While the two were talking, drums were already beating outside the city, and the rebels began to line up to the sound of the drums. Obviously, they were preparing to attack the city again.
With the adaptation of the previous two days, the defenders in the city were no longer too panicked when they heard the drums outside the city. Without the reminder of their superiors, they were already in their respective positions, concentrating and alert.
Not long after, the drums outside the city became dense, and teams of soldiers followed the drums and began to march towards the top of the city in neat steps.
Halfway, they were still hit by the catapults as they did yesterday. This improved version of the catapult has improved accuracy and increased lethality. At this time, the army outside the city was so dense that the casualties were still considerable.
However, this considerable is for Wu Fan, Chen Wende and other defenders. Cai Cheng is not a good thing for this. When he saw this scene in the camp, his face was extremely gloomy.
After the catapults, there was a blanket attack from arrows. In order to reduce casualties, the army outside the city could only run faster. The attacks of arrows and catapults obviously could not kill all the rebels outside the city. The rebels finally rushed under the city wall and climbed up to the top of the city with ladders.
After experiencing attacks such as rolling logs and hot oil, there was the most intense hand-to-hand combat.
Wu Fan still stood on the top of the city like the previous two days, harvesting the lives of the rebels who climbed up the top of the city, thereby gaining experience points.
However, Wu Fan also found that the expressions of the defenders on the top of the city today were better than before. The number of times the rebels outside the city rushed to the top of the city was significantly reduced, and Wu Fan's chances of taking action were naturally greatly reduced.
This situation made Wu Fan both relieved and disappointed.
However, there was one thing that Wu Fan knew very well. Under the current situation, he did not need to stay here all the time.
With the combat power of the defenders on the top of the city and Chen Wende's command, it would not be a big problem to defend the city.
Thinking of this, Wu Fan and Chen Wende explained the situation and left the city wall.
Chen Wende didn't think much about it. He just thought that Wu Fan had left the city and was still staying in the city. Wu Fan had been on the city for the past few days, so it was normal for him to go down and rest now.
However, after Wu Fan came down from the city, he did not return to his residence, but was teleported to Moonlight City, the capital of Shuiyue Kingdom, through a fixed-point teleportation talisman.
In the last second, Wu Fan was still in the war-torn Fengyu City, and in the next second, he was already in the magnificent Shuiyue Kingdom Palace.
The old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom gave him the task of assassinating the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, but he hadn't done it yet. Now that he had time, Wu Fan had to complete this task.
Squeak!
Wu Fan's teleportation point in Shuiyue Kingdom was set up in his residence in the palace. As the eunuch in charge of Donglin Palace, he had a private residence in the palace, where he would not be disturbed by the outside world.
However, Wu Fan had just been teleported here when the door of his room was opened. A eunuch came in with water and was obviously shocked when he saw someone in the room.
"Wu... Manager Wu?" The eunuch was also from Donglin Palace and recognized Wu Fan at a glance.
"Who told you to come in without knocking?" Wu Fan frowned.
