Chapter 273 Recruiting soldiers, Wei Chengyi takes action
Wei Chengyi and his team were going to take action that evening, and they had almost finished preparing everything. Apart from instructing him to collect the money and property, Shen Xiangwan didn't continue to talk about anything else. The two of them stayed together for a while before leaving the space separately. However, as soon as Shen Xiangwan went downstairs, she ran into Yan Junling who came to see her, and the two of them went straight into the small study.
"Is something wrong?"
After asking him to sit down, Shen Xiangwan asked casually, Yan Junling came back with Qingying at that time, because Wei Chengyi had to go out, he stayed at home temporarily, but he was in charge of the affairs outside, and there was nothing important, so he should not come to see her.
"Is there any news about Brother Yi and the others?"
Yan Junling did not answer but asked instead. He also knew that Wei Chengyi had personally gone to destroy the Yinyue Tower, but until now, they had not received any information. Considering that they shared the same space, he should know more than him, so he came here specifically to ask.
"We have already figured out the details and location of the Silver Moon Tower, and we will take action tonight."
He was not an outsider, so Shen Xiangwan did not hide anything and told him directly what he had just learned not long ago.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Yan Junling couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief. If they took action tonight, they should be able to return soon with their speed, right? There was no other way. Brother Yi was not at home, and the news from all over the country would still be delivered to his home on time. It was not until he took action himself that he realized how many things he had to deal with on a daily basis. The most important thing was that a group of "violent bandits" came to Chenzhou, and only Brother Yi could appease them.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but ask in confusion, Yan Junling's ability was unquestionable, and it shouldn't be a trivial matter for him to show such a relieved expression, right?
"People from the East Territory have arrived."
Looking up at her, Yan Junling did not hide the fact that the generals and soldiers coming from the East this time were loyal supporters of the Wei family, and they would only listen to Brother Yi's arrangements and dispatches. If those generals did not still remember their father and the guards did not come forward, they would probably cause trouble as soon as they arrived. Even so, Brother Yi needed to show up as soon as possible.
"is it?"
Wei Chengyi had told her about this. Shen Xiangwan thought for a moment and then said, "How did you arrange them?"
"They entered Chenzhou in batches, and all of them arrived yesterday. There are more than 25,000 people in total. If so many people suddenly appeared in the military camp, it would definitely arouse suspicion. We can only let them suffer for a while and hide in the mountains and wait for Brother Yi to return before making any arrangements."
"That would be too unfair to them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiangwan frowned slightly. People came from thousands of miles away to follow the Wei family because they trusted them. Especially those generals, they all came with their families. They finally arrived in Chenzhou, how could they be allowed to continue hiding?
"It's a bit unfair, but we can't think of any other solution for now."
Yan Junling knew that this was not a solution. However, there were too many of them, and it was impossible to disperse them in the prefectural capital or other counties. His father, who was stationed in the military camp, was also very troubled.
"Um···"
Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately. His fingers on the table tapped back and forth rhythmically. After a long while, he said, "Send a message to Uncle Yan and Xie Yanzhi, asking them to recruit soldiers in a big way. The bigger the better. Tell them that the dog emperor is cruel and has transferred most of the soldiers in Chenzhou. The army needs a lot of fresh blood. Let the soldiers from the East enter the barracks as new recruits. As for their families, see if they are willing to stay in the city or come to us. Let them settle down as soon as possible."
In this way, the soldiers coming from the East can have a clear path forward, and they don't have to worry about being criticized by others, nor do they have to continue to be wronged.
"Okay, sister-in-law, you still have a solution."
Yan Junling couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. If he had known that she could come up with a solution so quickly, he should have come to her earlier.
"Okay, stop talking to me and go make the arrangements."
Staring at him in pretentiousness, Shen Xiangwan urged him with a smile.
"Okay." Nodding, Yan Junling stood up and left.
Watching him disappear in the small study, Shen Xiangwan leaned back in his chair, thinking over and over again about recruiting soldiers. Originally, the Western Territory Army had 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers, but because of their large-scale layoffs, there are less than 30,000 soldiers now. Even with the addition of the more than 20,000 soldiers from the Eastern Territory, there are only more than 50,000 soldiers. The number is too small. Perhaps he should take this opportunity to recruit more, at least to more than 100,000 soldiers, right?
Shen Xiangwan quietly kept this matter in mind, and planned to wait for Wei Chengyi to come back and talk to him in detail.
It was late at night, somewhere in the underworld.
"on!"
In the darkness of the night, Wei Chengyi, dressed in black and masked, raised his hand and dozens of figures in night clothes shot out and headed straight for the manor not far away, which was where the Silver Moon Tower was.
They were all very agile, like nimble cheetahs, and they quickly disappeared into the building. However, they did not fight with the people inside. Instead, they split into several groups, walked around the manor and came back.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"what happened?"
"Oh no, someone attacked at night..."
"Well···"
Not long after, the sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground were heard one after another in the manor, mixed with panicked questioning and roaring. The assassins of the Silver Moon Tower, who had always been self-centered and looked down upon others, were all panicked. At this point, anyone who was not a fool should have realized that they had all been drugged at some point.
"Walk."
Wei Chengyi, who was hidden in the night, stood up and looked at Ji Shaohan and others. Dozens of people used light skills and ran towards the manor at a very fast speed. The sharp blades in everyone's hands were exuding a chill.
"Ahhhh..."
Soon, screams were heard in the manor. This time they didn't just go in for a stroll. Anyone they saw lying on the ground would be stabbed to the throat with a sword without saying a word, not even giving the person a chance to beg for mercy. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The others dispersed throughout the manor, while Wei Chengyi, his disciples and Qingying entered the main building, where all the high-ranking officials of Yinyue Building lived.
"Ahhhh..."
"You, who are you? Why did you use such a despicable method to attack my Silver Moon Tower at night?"
Along the way, they would ruthlessly kill anyone they met until they entered the courtyard where the owner of Silver Moon Tower lived. Unlike the others who were like a puddle of mud, the man in the room actually propped himself up and was leaning against the bedpost, waiting for them in a stern voice. He was none other than the owner of Silver Moon Tower, a powerful person in the Heavenly Man Realm.
"Despicable? Are you so despicable as to assassinate others?"
Hearing this, Wei Chengyi who had already entered the room could not help but sneer. If they had attacked him directly, he might not have been so angry, but they had attacked his wife and family. If it weren't for his master's wife's superb martial arts, who successfully held back those top grandmasters, and his wife's extremely strong poison, he would probably have had to go back to collect their bodies. This was one of the reasons why he wanted to destroy them personally.
