Chapter 66 Keeping an Appointment
Cao Feng was healing his wounds and tempering his will at the same time.

On the other side, Guo Bujing was also busy healing someone's injuries.

The Mongol Empire had great ambitions in entering the country this time.

Although Pang Ban’s real target was the old bull nose who was in charge of Wudang Mountain.

But if we can take the opportunity to cut a piece of meat from the Ming Dynasty, it may not be a bad thing.

It’s a pity that even though Pang Ban had a mind as smart as a demon and made many plans, he overlooked the variable of Cao Feng.

Not only did a lot of good fighters die, but even the young princess Zhao Min temporarily became a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that all the planning was in vain.

That being said.

But the Ming Dynasty did not suffer no losses this time.

Led by Guo Bujing.

The Six Gates have deployed most of their strength.

Many of the older masters were also injured.

With the help of healing medicine, it took a whole night to finally stabilize everyone's injuries.

It has to be said that Lengyan and others were quite ruthless.

If Guo Bujing had not been promoted to Grandmaster, with only the healing medicine, the masters of the Six Gates would have to recuperate for three to five months before they could walk again!
"Meet Mr. Guo!"

After temporarily settling his colleagues, Guo Bujing came to the north gate alone.

The city guards and garrisons who disappeared yesterday have now returned.

When they met Guo Bujing along the way, they all bowed respectfully.

His eyes were filled with respect from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone knows that if it weren't for the masters of the Six Gates who fought to the death to defend Guangyang Prefecture, it would have been reduced to a scorched earth by now!
The news that Guo Bujing disobeyed his superiors' orders and insisted on defending the city had already spread throughout the city.

The people and soldiers in the city admired and were grateful to him.

Little did he know that this sincere respect would actually bring Guo Bujing a lot of trouble!
The person who spread the news had no good intentions.

Once the emperor hears about this, he will definitely be even more suspicious of Guo Bujing!
This is what is called being too successful and making the master jealous!

Fortunately, he is now a grandmaster and his status is different from before.

Even though the emperor cursed in his heart, he dared not show it on the surface.

At best, it would alienate him and weaken the authority of the Six Gates.

Guo Bujing was mentally prepared for these.

I'm too lazy to check who is behind this.

If you have that kind of energy, you might as well do something practical and find a way to ease the conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts world.

Looking back at the Battle of Guangyang Prefecture, the Ming Dynasty was at a disadvantage throughout and was suppressed by the Mongols from beginning to end.

If Pang Ban hadn't been injured, Guo Bujing would have been promoted to Grand Master.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty court will surely suffer heavy losses!

Losing soldiers and generals is not scary.

The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and is full of talented people. I wonder how many people are waiting to take the throne.

Even if a few powerful masters were sacrificed, the impact on the court as a whole would not be particularly great.

What is truly terrifying is the death of the commander-in-chief!
As the saying goes, one tree cannot support the whole.

The reason why the Six Gates is so stable is due to the contributions of several consultants.

Guo Bujing is the flag bearer of the Six Gates.

He is the backbone and decision maker.

But he...is not a god after all.

It is impossible to handle all matters in detail.

Still need someone to assist.

Once several consultants fail here, even if the Six Gates are still full of masters, the overall strength will be greatly reduced.

There is even a high possibility of internal power struggle!
……

"After all, I was too blindly confident and almost made a big mistake!"

Guo Bujing came to the top of the city wall, looked at the land outside the city stained red with blood, and sighed softly.

He thought he was fully prepared.

However, they didn't expect that this carefully planned hunt would almost result in the death of half of the strong men of the Six Gates.

It also caused the deaths of many defenders!
Was he too arrogant and underestimated the strength of Pang Ban and the Yuan Dynasty?
How can it be!

Guo Bujing knew exactly what kind of person Pang Ban was.

The reason why he dared to set up the trap.

After all, I trusted those martial arts masters too much.

I thought those people would help.

Who would have thought that those people were just watching the show from the beginning to the end. Not to mention taking action against Pang Ban, even those traitors whose martial arts were not high and were only at the acquired level, no one came forward to help the court clean up.

This was something Guo Bujing had never expected.

Are the martial artists indifferent and afraid to sacrifice their lives for their country and defend their homeland?

Guo Bujing thinks that this is most likely not the case.

Being familiar with the martial arts world, he knew very well that there were actually quite a few martial arts heroes with lofty ideals in mind.

Since those martial arts masters appeared nearby, they must have plans to take action.

The reason why I choose to stand aside and watch.

They must have been completely disappointed with the imperial court, and would only come forward when almost all the people in the imperial court had died.

This way, you can become famous and disgust the Ming Dynasty court at the same time.

"Since when did the conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts world escalate to such an extent?"

Guo Bujing's eyes were full of worry.

Without the help of martial artists, the Ming Dynasty court alone would not be able to stop the invasion of the Mongols!

"Maybe I'll have to go to Wudang Mountain to pay a visit."

It would be a waste of time to talk to a bunch of reckless people about the truth that "no eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned".

The only way to change this embarrassing situation is to find a highly respected and martial arts master to come forward.

……

"Your subordinate Bai Cuiping, meeting the Chief Advisor!"

A female voice sounded behind him.

Guo Bujing was not surprised at all, he came here just to meet the other party.

Turning around, I saw Bai Sanniang kneeling on one knee in the shadows.

His expression was solemn and his eyes were determined, completely different from his previous timid appearance.

Bai Sanniang is a secret envoy of the Six Gates.

This is the so-called 'hook'.

In another identity, he goes undercover in the martial arts world, specifically responsible for collecting intelligence in the martial arts world.

In case something big happens on the road, the Six Gates will not be able to react in time.

Not only that, the secret envoys will also be secretly watching the people from the Six Gates.

It can be said that any secret envoy is absolutely loyal to the Six Gates.

Guo Bujing quietly expanded his territory to prevent being spied on.

Immediately, he said solemnly: "I need you to investigate a person. Do your best to find out all his past!"

"Who?"

"Cao Zhengchun's nephew, Cao Feng!"

……

Time flies, and three days pass in a flash.

Cao Feng, whose injuries were completely healed, was not in a hurry to improve his realm.

He always kept the soul-chasing invitation in his mind.

After much thought, I decided to go and meet him first.

Ten Mile Pavilion.

Paper money was flying everywhere.

The sadness of the passing of loved ones still lingers in the air.

Zhuihun was isolated in the pavilion, with an indifferent expression, out of tune with the surrounding environment, as if isolated from the world.

miracly.

There was such a big living person standing there, but passers-by seemed unaware of it.

No one ever paid any attention to him.

Uh-huh! ~
Cao Feng, dressed in tight clothes, jumped off his horse and came to Zhuihun.

Curiously asked, "Is this the little trick you mentioned?"

Blend your own aura into the environment and minimize your presence.

It is indeed an interesting method.

Unfortunately, Cao Feng had already mastered this skill, which was essential for a spy or killer.

Seeing Cao Feng arrive as promised, Zhui Hun's cold face finally showed a faint smile, and he whispered: "Follow me."

Immediately, he leaped out of the pavilion.

Cao Feng didn't waste any words. He moved quickly and used the Tiyunzong move to follow closely behind.
