No need for Zhang Xiu torture. Zhao Song laughed wildly and claimed his home: "I am Zhao Song, the chief clerk of Hanzhong. This time I came here to kill you, the thief leader of the evil ways, and avenge my lord Su Gu. What a pity, it's only one step away! I can take you, the demon dog head!"

Zhang Xiu was relieved when he heard this, and the worry he had hidden in his heart also dissipated a lot. But he still had some doubts.

A civil servant who served as the chief clerk was able to avenge his lord, and he broke into the enemy camp alone and killed more than a dozen soldiers, including two Vajras. No one would easily believe this to anyone! So Zhang Xiu ordered several of his confidants to go and verify it.

This matter is very verified. The confidants immediately found some servants who had worked as officials in the former Hanzhong Prefecture. They recognized Zhao Song at a glance. Zhang Xiu was completely relieved and he sneered:

"I caught Su Gu this morning and should have cooked him to sacrifice to the heavens to establish the power of our heavenly army and to suppress the evil spirits of ghosts and monsters. But I was a little anxious because of my resentment. I killed Su Gu so quickly and gave him a discount. Since you are here, I will use you instead!"

Zhao Song spit out a mouthful of phlegm and said, "You are such a bloodthirsty person, and you are worthy of seeking immortals and asking questions!"

Zhang Xiu ignored him and waved his hand and made a gesture to someone to take Zhao Song down. Then he ordered to the left and right: "Notify the people of Nanzheng City to concentrate in the city tomorrow morning to watch the ritual of cooking demons and offering sacrifices to the sky."

A leader quickly reminded Zhang Xiudao: "You have reported to Shijun that there is not such a large open space in Nanzheng City, and it cannot stand the whole city's people."

Zhang Xiu replied: "Then let them come out and watch it in the open space outside the East City Gate."

At this time, a personal guard of Zhang Xiu came to report: "Report to the master of Shijun. Zhang Lu, the head master, asked for a meeting!"

Zhang Xiu said calmly: "Let him come in." Then he added: "Zhang Lu is not only one of my Daozhitou priests, but also the head disciple of my master. If he wants to see me in the future, he will not need to report this way, and he can go directly to the hall and visit."

When the left and right made a promise, Zhang Lu had already entered the account.

He respectfully gave Zhang Xiu a Taoist master-disciple ceremony and said, "I have seen my master." After Zhang Xiu responded, "I am not eligible for the disciple." Zhang Lu stood up.

Zhang Xiu continued to ask, "Disciple, why are you here to find a teacher?"

Zhang Lu continued to reply respectfully: "The disciple came here to report to the master. About a month ago, I said that a priest led his army to rob a horse-trafficking team on the Hanzhong Plain. I wonder if the master knows this?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I know about this matter. This horse team has colluded with the demon Su Gu, so it is not an exaggeration to confiscate their war horses. In addition, our army does need war horses in urgent need."

"But this horse team specializes in purchasing horses for Zhuyang Houguo. We offended Zhuyang Hou Feng Yu in this way. It will cause unnecessary trouble. I wonder if Master knows this situation?" Zhang Lu continued to say carefully.

When Zhang Lu led his troops from Chengdu and left Jiange to Hanzhong, Liu Yan told him that he should not make other enemies in the process of conquering Hanzhong. That is, he should not provoke Feng Yu in the east, Dong Zhuo in the north, or Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest. But today Zhang Lu knew that Zhang Xiu's subordinates had plundered Feng Yu's horse team. Therefore, he came to ask Zhang Xiu what was going on.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Of course I know this. A disciple will not hide anything from him. Feng Yu is also a demon. Sooner or later, we will take back the three counties in the east of Hanzhong that he occupied. Why are you afraid of offending him now?"

When Zhang Lu heard this, he hurriedly said, "It turns out that Master already knew that I was just afraid that Master would be concealed, so I came to report this matter. In this way, the disciple took his leave first."

"Wait, my disciple will come to the East City Gate tomorrow morning to watch the ceremony of cooking demons and offering sacrifices to heaven."

"Add to the master's orders!" Zhang Lu responded respectfully before turning around and exiting the tent. After turning around, two cold lights full of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

At this time, neither Zhang Xiu nor Zhang Lu could have dreamed that Feng Yu was now less than fifty miles away from Nanzheng.

...

Chen Diao arrived in Zhuyang a few days ago, but not long after Feng Yu left Zhuyang, he went to Xicheng. Chen Diao quickly turned around and rushed back to Xicheng, and then saw Feng Yu and handed Su Gu's letter to the other party. This is why he delayed for several days.

Feng Yu met Chen Diao in the Xicheng Prefecture. After reading the letter, Feng Yu, who was sitting in the head, looked coldly at the young man full of the aura of a ranger and was in a hurry.

Chen's friendly value on turn-up is 50. So it is impossible that he used tricks to deceive himself. And it is impossible that someone would expect Feng Yu to make a decision on this.

"Nan Zheng was surrounded, how did you leave the city?" Feng Yu asked.

"Although several gates in Nanzheng were blocked, there were bandits patrols and guards outside the city. However, the circumference of Nanzheng City was dozens of miles long and it was impossible to watch everywhere. Scattered small groups of people could still sneak across the city walls. I just sneaked out of the city with a rope."

"Will you still go in after returning to Nanzheng?"

"Of course, I have an agreement with the defenders. They will put down the hanging basket."

"Okay. I want to go to Nanzheng with you and meet with Prefect Su Gu in person."

After hearing Feng Yu's words, Chen Ti's eyes almost fell out.

Feng Yu continued: "I won't go to the city, but I want you to pick up Su Taishou, and I will meet him outside the city. Because it will take seven or eight days for our Zhuyang Army to complete the preparations for the Western Expedition. I guess that Nanzheng City will not be able to defend at this time. So after you pick up Su Taishou, he won't have to go back to the city."

Feng Yu took Dian Qing and his personal scout guards and took a Viking ship with Chen Diao, climbing up the Mianshui River and entering the Hanzhong Plain from east to west. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's troops entered the Hanzhong Plain from the Shu Road to the west, so they were unlikely to encounter Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's army.

They abandoned the ship in Chenggu, and the group quietly headed towards Nanzheng. When they approached Nanzheng City, the scouts in front found a bad news that Nanzheng had fallen.

Suddenly, Chen Diao was at a loss and had to take Feng Yu back to Chenjiazhai first and then make plans. Then he received a letter left by Zhao Song.

Chen Di immediately sent his servants to chase Zhao Song, but then the servants brought back bad news. Su Gu was killed, Zhao Song was arrested for breaking into the enemy camp to avenge his revenge, and he would be cooked and killed in public tomorrow.

...

Chenjiazhai, Mopanshan, in the lobby.

"Chen Di, are you sure you really want to do this?" Feng Yu asked.

Chen Diao replied confidently: "Yes. I must do this. Rescue Zhao Song and then avenge my lord Su Gu. This is what I must do."

"Since that's the case, I'll accompany you." Feng Yu replied.

"June, for you, this risk is too great," Chen Ti looked at Feng Yu in surprise and said.

Feng Yu was also surprised. What kind of personality charm did Su Gu have that made Zhao Song and Chen Diao go through fire and water for him, and he was bothered. However, Su Gu was dead, and he didn't have the opportunity to get to know him. Feng Yu only knew that Zhao Song and Chen Diao must be loyal and courageous people, and he intended to gather them together.

A task panel is picked out from Feng Yu's sight:

[Task: Rescue, Mission Content: Rescue Zhao Song, a righteous man who is going to be cruelly cooked. Mission reward: General Secretary’s card (green)×2, Falcon Training Institute’s facility building card×1]
