Hearing Li Ling's name, Wen Ming couldn't help but glance at the master beside him. However, the movement was very small. Zhang Xingying, who was still talking, did not notice anything and continued: "But my Holy Sect's years of hard work would not give up at will because of some obstacles. So there was the uprising several months ago. I thought I could take down the Jiangnan prefectures in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, the governor and Li Ling ruined the big thing, which led to a lot of casualties in my children.

"Fortunately, we have not responded at all. Even if we fail once, we will have the next arrangement. When you think the chaos is completely quelled, in fact, the elites in our sect have long since been broken into pieces and returned to the people, preparing for a new round of uprising. This time, we will definitely succeed!"

Wen Ming's expression also became a little serious: "That Dajiang Gang was instigated by you to do everything he could to rob the government's tax and silver food, right?"

"No, because we helped them a lot before, let them raid the Cao Gang headquarters at the lowest cost, and achieved a refreshing victory, which also made Fan Tianjiao have unprecedented ambitions. He was already thinking about replacing the Cao Gang with the Dajiang Gang."

Zhang Xingying did not shy away any shyness and smiled proudly: "But we have long predicted that you would not be fooled by the cleverness of the governor. We may even take this opportunity to use the silver and grains as bait to lead us to appear and catch us all in one go.

"But your thoughts were not hidden from us, but we caught the flaws. If you want to compete with us in the long Caohe River section, the troops you need must be very large. In a short period of time, you cannot mobilize troops from all over the south of the Yangtze River. The only choice is to draw troops from Jinling City. This is exactly the result we hope to see.

"Recalling the idea that we encouraged the uprisings of people in Jiangnan, we were trying to make Jinling empty. However, Li Ling ruined the big thing in Huating at that time, which caused you to reduce the pressure, which made you fail. Even the most important piece revealed his identity to Brahma. But this time it was different, because you were greedy and wanted to wipe out the power of Luotian Sect in Jiangnan once and for all, so he fell into my plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" At the end, he laughed even more and couldn't hide his pride.

This explanation made Li Ling's face hot. He lost miserably this time. As the other party said, because of the previous victory, he was a little proud. He was just thinking about completing his achievements in one battle and not being able to guard against his own safety after the entire Jinling army was released, which led to today's failure.

He blamed and ashamed himself like never before. He thought that the enemy was on the first floor and he was on the second floor, which was enough to arrange them clearly. However, he realized that he was arranged and plotted, and he was just watching himself joke on the fifth floor.

Wen Ming's face was not good-looking, and his eyes swept across everyone around him: "It seems that you have really been thinking about it this time and have calculated everything. Thinking about it, have you made more arrangements in the city?"

"Yes, I'm going to tell you that in the past few years, there are actually our people in the major yamen in Jinling City, and the army suffered a lot of losses due to the exposure to Brahma. But this is not a problem, because with your trap this time, almost all the officers and soldiers in Jinling City have been transferred away, and the remaining soldiers are not even enough to defend the city, let alone hinder us."

"Then don't be too proud. Although there are less than two or three thousand people left in the city now, they are all loyal to the court and practice every day. They are elite troops in the Jiangnan army. I have also sent people to pass the orders, and I believe they will come to rescue them in no time."

This made Zhang Xingying laugh again: "Governor, do you think we will be as arrogant and careless as you, and don't even have this little precaution? Well, let me tell you a fact so that you can give up. Just when it was dark just now, I sent an elite cavalry team of 100 people into the Liuzi Camp in your name. Guess, after so long, with our means, can we still not be able to take these unprepared soldiers?"

Li Ling's body shook again, and he felt that the last turnaround might have been wiped out. Wen Ming was completely stunned at this time, and then sighed for a while: "Okay, it's really comprehensive and completely unscrupulous. Since that's the case, what do you want me to do? Just order me to kill myself directly, and there will be less troubles."

"That's not what it means. My Holy Church has great ambitions and does not want a decayed Jiangnan, but a prosperous Jiangnan that can truly use it for us, allowing my Holy Church to rise rapidly and have a strong army that can fight the Great Vietnamese court. And as a governor, you can help us a lot."

At this time, Zhang Xingying had no scruples and even expressed his ultimate goal. He stared at Wen Ming with a bright look: "Governor Wen, you have talent and ambitions, and you have prestige among the people in Jiangnan. I believe that as long as you submit to my holy teachings at this time and then climb to the high school and call out again, there will inevitably be too many people in the Jiangnan prefectures to return. By then, you will be the hero of the founding of my holy teachings.

"Think about it carefully. It is the end of your life to be a governor in the Great Yue Dynasty, and at most you can enter the Political Affairs Hall. But when it comes to my Holy Church, it is not difficult to be appointed as a marquis and minister after the matter is completed. Also, you have fallen into my hands now. If you don't agree, hehe, killing you is just a matter of just one sentence."

As if he was threatened, Wen Ming's face changed again, which made Li Ling feel heartbroken and couldn't help but say: "Master Futai..." But before he could say anything, Governor Wen waved his hand to stop him and looked at Zhang Xingying: "It seems that I have no better choice?"

"That's right, now that Jinling is in my control, your life and death are only in my mind. Governor, you are smart enough to make the right choice."

"I have one last question..."

"You said that as long as you are willing to surrender, we are brothers in the church, and I will naturally know everything."

"Xiang Fantian and the others who were killed by my troops that day were not elders of Luotian Sect, right?" Wen Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at each other, but raised this question.

Not to mention Zhang Xingying, even Li Ling was stunned for a moment. In fact, this point can be seen from Zhang Xingying's words just now. He always called Xiang Fantian by his name. Not only did he not respect him, but he even had some contempt. This was obviously not the attitude he should have towards the dead elders in the sect.

At this moment, Li Ling's heart was even more upset, thinking of some details, which were the secrets of the Luotian Sect that Shao Qiuxi told him: "The four elders of the Luotian Sect are divided into various places, in charge of the affairs of the tutor, and there are three guardians as auxiliary. Compared with the three guardians with extremely strong martial arts skills, the four elders themselves have no extraordinary martial arts skills, and there are even two of them who are ordinary people..."

Obviously, Xiang Fantian, who could steadily suppress Wan Shenji and was not given the title due to changes in the end, could not be described as mediocre martial arts. This is a master. In this way, the identity of Elder Qihuo is inconsistent with Shao Qiuxi's statement.

Li Ling had really ignored this point before, and it was not until this time that Wen Ming asked that he could see the clue. Therefore, Xiang Fantian, who was killed, may be an important piece of Luo Tian Sect in Jiangnan, but he was just a cover, and the real Fire Elder had someone else. Therefore, from the moment he thought he had captured all the important figures of Luo Tian Sect, he actually fell into other people's plans without knowing it.

Li Ling, who figured out all this, felt that he was becoming more and more ridiculous. He was either the second floor, but clearly in the first, no, the underground floor... After all, he had to make up for it, and in the end, it turned out that the clown was me.

Zhang Xingying looked at Wen Ming thoughtfully: "Did you see this problem? Yes, Xiang Brahma is not Elder Huo in my sect, but the most trustworthy master around Elder Huo."

"Who is Elder Fire?" Wen Ming took the opportunity to ask again.

But Zhang Xingying did not answer, but just smiled in a mysterious and profound way: "Well, when you really enter my sect, you will naturally know the answer."

"If I expected it is right, you, Zhang Xingying, is the Fire Elder of Luotian Sect, who is the person who is really in charge of everything in Jiangnan now!" Wen Ming did not stop, but continued to stare at the other party and expressed his judgment in a firm tone.

This sentence made Zhang Xingying's eyes shrink suddenly, and the smile on his face was not reduced: "Governor Wen really has good eyesight, you can see it all." However, he directly admitted his identity.

In Li Ling's strange eyes, Wen Ming seemed quite calm, as if he had already known the answer: "In fact, it is not difficult to guess your identity. Once you confirm that Xiang Brahma is not Elder Huo, you can know that the real Elder Huo is still hidden in my Jiangnan officialdom. He cannot be outside the officialdom, because in this way, he will not be able to meet Xiang Brahma often and conspire. Therefore, after this guess, I have been checking who the real Elder Huo is and what greater conspiracy he has."

"Huh?" His words made Zhang Xingying stunned again, showing a look of vigilance.

Li Ling's heart was moved, and a feeling of expectation also emerged from his heart. It seemed that things had a turning point...
