Chapter 173 (1/2)
Forget about Yang Qing's subordinates, even Zhang Decheng'splanned to do by leading the Ten-Thousand Manor
As they continued the chase, one of the subordinate Mountain Chieftains Mei Yu re to lead us in circles around Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, there enda”
He had voiced everyone's concerns, so the other Mountain Chieftains also supported hiht! Manor Head, Mei Yu has a point”
Clearly, everyone was trying to be ilance
Zhang Decheng was completely furious It wasn't that his plan hadn't been detailed enough, but just as it was about to succeed, a peon had to co how everyone else wanted to halt the chase with that tone of voice, he was quite displeased However, he still put up a front and laughed as he said, ”If ere to really stop giving chase, ould have truly fallen to Yang Qing's scheme!”
The Mountain Chieftain Sheng Huaigang inquired, ”May I ask the Manor Head why that is so?”
”What do you all think Yang Qing could possibly be plotting?” Zhang Decheng asked as he pointed towards the large platoon that was fleeing ahead of the before us If he made anya Qing do to us?”
Lin Xutian re's ar be intentionally stalling for time so his subordinates can set up a trap, and later lure us into an ambush?”
Zhang Decheng laughed and said, ”Our troops won't lose to Yang Qing's in terth and numbers What effect could such an aht but a futile effort! If Yang Qing really had such intentions, then he would be the biggest of fools If he gathered his forces, hehis troops for an a et about the a We will i fell, any aht!”
As they listened, everyone else nodded, beginning to feel relieved They started to believe this was the case as well after giving it soht
However, Mei Yu was still a little doubtful as he asked, ”Yang Qing has been leading us in circles within Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor's territory; could he have so Ten-Thousand Manor? What if Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor were to sortie and for?”
Zhang Decheng shook his head and laughed as he said, ”We areTen-Thousand Manor and not intruding on their business If Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor were to attack us, it would undoubtedlySecond Hall How could the Manor Head of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor dare to incite a battle between two Halls?”
Mei Yu continued to ponder atop his galloping dragon steed He was also beginning to agree with the idea after soht, but he still felt doubtful and so asked, ”Then why has Yang Qing been leading us in circles within Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor's territory?”
”Seeing how relentlessly we've been chasing thethat he can't win, is intentionally creating confusion He is trying toour pursuit” Zhang Decheng laughed coldly, then, turning his head to the left and right, said, ”Hadn't all of you almost fallen into his trap just then?!”
Sheng Huaigang and the rest had looks of shame on their faces They immediately cupped their fists and said, ”Manor Head is wise”
However, Mei Yu continued to be cautious as he said, ”Thinking back, hadn't Yang Qing been able to conquer South Edict Manor precisely because he suddenly had help froain this time I am afraid we have no choice but to be prepared”
”Mountain Chieftain Mei is over thinking things,” said Zhang Decheng as he turned to glared at hi to argue with hi like he was berating Mei Yu for his cowardice while accusing Mei Yu of si the matter ”Since I dared to attack South Edict Manor, how could I not have accounted for the School of Blue Jade? The School of Blue Jade only interfered with Yang Qing and Lu Yu's battle previously, because Yang Qing had Advisor Feng supporting hi hi the truth—as soon as our troops departed from Ever Peace Manor, so to the School of Blue Jade—external forces that would interfere with Suppressing Second Hall'scrushed under the ar Second Hall! Do you all think the School of Blue Jade dares to challenge our Suppressing Second Hall?”
Since Zhang Decheng already said thisMei Yu cupped his fists and said, ”Manor Head has already accounted for everything Your subordinate has indeed been over thinking things”
”There is no harnaniy with his hand, and continued to lead his large army on a relentless pursuit
His face revealed very little of this thoughts, but the worries in his heart were not so that his subordinates could understand
They'd created such a big coed to take over South Edict Manor Once Yang Qing was killed, you could fabricate any story you liked in order to deal with your superior So long as it complied with the superior's demands, the superior would naturally keep one eye open and the other closed
If they couldn't take over the Manor, then the proble reported thisas all involved were theSecond Hall—what reasonable explanation was there for a your own men If that were to happen, He Yunye definitely wouldn't adated his own men to attack one another; he would even sever all relations and push all the bla
Seeing as things had escalated to this point, how could Zhang Decheng let Yang Qing go? He wouldn't let hio even if he had to chase him to the ends of the earth!
What angered Zhang Decheng theall his carefully laid plans down the gutter All the benefits he could have easily gained were now a troublesoet that kid for this after everything was over
The two ar Ten-Thousand Manor's territory Meanwhile within Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor's territory, another group had gathered together; it was the rest of Yang Qing's subordinates that had yet to join with him
As soon as the individual Mountain Chieftains received Yang Qing's orders, they i to his aid After they ed their courseTen-Thousand Manor from South Edict Manor
With each Mountain's troops as an individual unit, the Mountain Chieftains all raised the banner of Zhang Decheng's Ever Peace Manor fro Second Hall, as they led their troops in an assault against Definite Peace Cave, Graceful Waters Cave, Definite Luo Cave, etc…
It was clear that it wouldn't take much time for a Mountain's troops to take over a Cave The seven Mountain Chieftains under Yang Qing split up, and swept over the ten Caves belonging to Mount Bearing Longevity of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor
In the end, on this cold, blistering snowy night, the seven squadrons that had athered at the foot of Mount Bearing Longevity They coevity and viciously attacked in unison
Misfortune seeevity They were attacked without a word of warning As soon as the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Bearing Longevity released a spirit eagle to Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor requesting for support, he intended to lead his men into a bloody bath to escape the encircle forces to attack this lone Mountain of his Furthermore, they had completely eliminated all the forces of his subordinate Caves As such, the result of the battle was obvious
