313: Tiger Tooth Mountain
Long Yuan continued, "Due to repeated setbacks and the need to juggle his task of acting as an inside agent in Southern Yue, Feng Guang has gone to Tiger Tooth Mountain to bring in reinforcements for the sake of seizing Shan Feng Forest. Meanwhile, the domestic forces contacted by the Fusang Sword Saint have already dispatched a group of people to infiltrate the Fang Family near the north gate of Southern Yue City. This Fang Family is a piece they planted here years ago, with the goal of keeping an eye on Prince Fus Mansion and preparing to seize its wealth in the future. Its head is named Fang Tianxiong. Therefore, we need to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Fang Family and Feng Residence to prevent any unusual movements."
The four, including Captain Sima Cuo, exchanged glances. Finally, Captain Sima Cuo said, "Brother Yu, how about leaving this to you for now?"
Yu Feiyu, Chief Captain of the Southern Division blushed slightly, but still nodded and said, "Alright! After all, my cultivation is the lowest among the four of us, so leave the bandit suppression to you all!"
"Haha, Brother Yu, you are being too modest! Watching people is also a tough and tiring job, and it needs someone as meticulous as Brother Yu to be responsible for it!" Captain Sima Cuo laughed.
"Alright, no need to say more! Elder Long, if I discover they have any unusual movements, can I take action directly?" Yu Feiyu, Chief Captain of the Southern Division asked.
Long Yuan shook his head, "No! As long as they do not directly endanger Southern Yue City, there is no need to take action; wait until we return! Currently, I have observed that there are two military generals in that force from the north, and their strength is quite formidable. Senior, you alone are not their match. They seem to be waiting for people from the Sword Saint's side. Moreover, they have another task, which is to dig a tunnel leading to the north within the territory of the Fang Family, so as to bring the people from Tiger Tooth Mountain into the city!"
"What?! What kind of force are they?! They are actually colluding with a cultist?!" Captain Sima Cuo and the others were dumbfounded, never expecting this northern force to be so evil; not only were they colluding with the Fusang Sword Saint, but they also intended to join forces with the cultist to destroy Southern Yue City!
Long Yuan sighed and stopped holding back, saying, "I will just reveal it to you directly; this force is the current Third Prince's Lu Wang Manor. The two military generals they sent this time are named Zhu Lan and Zhu Yu, General, a man and a woman. Therefore, Senior Yu just needs to keep an eye on them first and see what they are actually doing. With this evidence, once the matter is exposed in the future, Lu Wang Manor will not be able to escape responsibility!"
"Good heavens!!!"
"Lu Wang Manor?!"
The expressions of the four changed drastically, and their demeanors were filled with an inexplicable grief and indignation...
Come to think of it, they were ultimately risking their lives for the Great Ming Imperial Family, but as an important member of the royal family, Prince Lu was secretly doing these things. How was this any different from being a traitor to the Ming?
Thinking of the recent succession struggle within the royal family, the four felt extremely speechless. They wouldn't be dragged into this storm because of this, would they? One had to know that Prince Lu was a powerful prince among those vying for the throne. If such a person really became the Great Ming Crown Prince, one has to ask, where would the future of the Great Ming head? Could the people really entrust their fate to such a Crown Prince?
Thinking of this, the four could not care so much anymore. So what if he really became the Crown Prince? They were currently executing a mission for the Xuanwu Guard, and the Xuanwu Guard was ultimately responsible to the current Emperor. Regardless of what Prince Lu it was, if he fell into their hands, they would make him pay dearly!
The Xuanwu Guard was not afraid in this regard!
Thinking of this, the four couldn't help but feel their courage bolstered. Captain Sima Cuo said, "Brother Yu, just do as Elder Long said, save all the evidence, and we will present it to Head Yu together when the time comes!"
"Rest assured! No matter who it is, anyone who dares to commit crimes against our Great Ming, I, Old Yu, will be the first not to let them off!" Yu Feiyu, Chief Captain of the Southern Division said fiercely.
Gu Fengyang said, "Old Yu, be careful. The opponent is powerful. If the Fusang Sword Saint also appears, it will be even more dangerous. You must wait until we return before acting!"
"Alright!" Yu Feiyu, Chief Captain of the Southern Division replied.
Long Yuan gave Yu Feiyu, Chief Captain of the Southern Division some more details, then set off overnight with Captain Sima Cuo and the others. Since he had already sent a message to Zhu Nan, they saw Zhu Nan leading Zhu Zhiyong and Zhu Shuangquan, Military General of Fu Wang Manor, waiting for them at the north city gate.
Zhu Nan said respectfully, "Elder Long, I have already counted the 50,000 elite troops according to your instructions, and we are just waiting for your order!"
"Are they being led by the two generals?" Long Yuan asked.
"Yes! The two generals are leading them personally and will only listen to your orders!" Zhu Nan replied.
"Good! The two generals should lead the troops to stay put here for now and wait for my orders to advance after I send word! At the same time, all city gates must strengthen their defenses; it is best to impose martial law, allowing only entry and no exit, and reject all suspicious personnel to prevent any accidents from happening!" Long Yuan said.
"Yes!!!" Zhu Zhiyong and Zhu Shuangquan, Military General of Fu Wang Manor replied in unison. Both of them had already learned of Long Yuan's true identity and strength from Zhu Nan. Facing this true backer of Prince Fus Mansion, they naturally bowed and obeyed.
Long Yuan turned his head and said to Captain Sima Cuo and the others, "Seniors, proceed according to the plan! I will set off first!"
After speaking, he and his horse whistled out from the north city gate, disappearing in the blink of an eye...
"Let's go!!!" Captain Sima Cuo shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The Xuanwu Guard replied in unison.
More than three hundred Xuanwu Guard members, led by three chief captains, headed towards the wilderness outside the north city...
Not long after leaving the city, Long Yuan placed the Monoceros Horse in a dense forest, then used Shadow Step to advance rapidly. With his current abilities, it would only take half an hour to reach Tiger Tooth Mountain when using it at full power!
Such speed was unimaginable to Captain Sima Cuo and the others. At their full capacity, it would take at least four hours, and that also depended on whether they could maintain it. If their Xuan Power ran low midway and they needed to adjust before setting off again, the time would only be longer.
Tiger Tooth Mountain was actually within the greater area of Southern Yue, but it belonged to the outer city area and was in a very remote place in the north. However, later, with the continuous encroachment of alien beasts, the main city area of Southern Yue kept shrinking, and this place became part of the wilderness. But there was a very large landfill here, which was one of the reasons Long Yuan came here.
When approaching the main peak of Tiger Tooth Mountain, Long Yuan spread out his Divine Sense to cover the entire area. As his Divine Sense continued to extend, he quickly sensed the location of the cultist and the beast race. After comparing it one by one with the information collected by the Heavenly Dao Eye, he found it to be accurate and without errors.
"It seems their hiding place is in the former salt mine caves of Tiger Tooth Mountain..."
According to the information, Tiger Tooth Mountain used to produce mineral salt, and after it was mined out, it was abandoned, leaving only some mine caves. These mine caves were actually very suitable for cave dwelling, warm in winter and cool in summer, and also suitable for hiding. Therefore, it should have been that after the people from Blood Wolf Hall discovered it, they developed it into one of their secret bases. This operation was also led by Blood Wolf Hall, combined with the people from Ba Jue Hall and the beast race, intending to launch a beast tide against the entire Nanyue Base, and its ultimate goal was, of course, to divide the wealth of Prince Fus Mansion.
