The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Wen Daozun was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "What is the purpose of your trip to Suzaku City?"

Duan Tianyang replied briefly: "Incite Peng Jia to rebel and deal with Shen Bo."

Wen Daozun looked worried and said, "Sir, this trip is too risky. Although Peng Jia intends to join us, he and Shen Bo have worked together for many years and have a deep friendship. I am worried that you will fail to persuade him to revolt and end up being harmed by him."

Duan Tianyang thought for a moment, then turned to ask Wen Daozun: "Then Mr. Wen, what do you think we should do?"

Wen Daozun smiled slightly and said, "It is not difficult to take over Suzaku City. We just need to surround it without attacking it. Although Suzaku City is large and its defenses are strong, there are many people in the city, and both the soldiers and civilians need food and drink. As long as we besiege it for a month, the Suzaku Army in the city will surrender without a fight."

Duan Tianyang shook his head slowly after hearing this and said worriedly, "One month is too long, we can't wait. According to the Tianyan Hall, Zhou Baiyuan has assembled a large army and intends to attack our cities in Xiguan. If we delay in Zhuque City for too long, Xiguan may fall."

If the intelligence is correct and Zhou Baiyuan's rebels intend to attack the cities in Xiguan, then we should indeed avoid rashly attacking Zhuque City at this moment.

However, placing the hidden danger of Suzaku City at the North Gate would inevitably lead to trouble.

Wen Daozun frowned and thought deeply.

Duan Tianyang smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, I have thought it over carefully. I have to go there in person no matter what!"

"But this trip is too risky for you, my Lord."

Duan Tianyang didn't care. He said firmly: "The current situation is tense and time is tight. Risks and benefits always coexist. Don't worry, I'm sure!"

He paused, and continued, "Before Zhou Baiyuan's army approaches, our army must eliminate the hidden danger of Suzaku City, so that we can concentrate our forces and resist Zhou Baiyuan's rebels. Otherwise, if Suzaku City changes at the north gate during the battle between the two sides, our army will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will be extremely dangerous."

Wen Daozun looked solemn and nodded in agreement, while the generals all looked at each other with frowns.

Duan Tianyang waved his hand and said with a relaxed smile: "Everyone, don't worry too much. As long as we quickly take over Suzaku City and stabilize the situation in Beiguan, even if Zhou Baiyuan leads a large army to attack, we have the vast Beiguan as a backup, and we will not be at all inferior to them!"

As the commander, Duan Tianyang was full of confidence. His mentality also infected everyone else, making the morale of the soldiers high and alleviating many of their worries.

This time, Duan Tianyang only brought Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer to Zhuque City.

Compared with other subsidiary cities of Beiguan, Zhuque City is obviously more prosperous.

Even in times of frequent wars, Suzaku City is still bustling with traffic and prosperous, as if the chaos in the outside world has not had much impact on it.

Duan Tianyang and the other two walked into Suzaku City, walked through the bustling streets, and saw the shops lined on both sides, and couldn't help but admire them in their hearts.

The prosperity of this city is not only second to none among the subsidiary cities, but is also not inferior to the twelve main cities.

The three of them went straight to the City Lord's Mansion without delay.

"Who are you?" As soon as they arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, they were stopped by the guards.

"My name is Yang Tian. I'm a friend of the city lord, and I've come here specially to visit you." Duan Tianyang made some adjustments to his appearance, making himself look a little rough in order to cover up his originally handsome face and make him less eye-catching.

"Yang Tian?" The soldier frowned and looked Duan Tianyang up and down.

Although his face was a little rough, he looked to be no more than twenty years old, while the city lord was over forty, which made it difficult for them to understand how he could be the city lord's friend.

The soldier's face darkened, and he waved his hand sternly, saying, "Nonsense! If you continue to make trouble here, don't blame me for being rude!"

Duan Tianyang waved his hands and said with a smile, "Calm down! Calm down!" He took off the wine jug hanging from his waist and handed it to the soldier, "This is a specialty from my hometown. Please present it to Lord Peng. Lord Peng will understand once he sees it."

The soldier took the wine jug with suspicion and was about to take a closer look. Duan Tianyang said hurriedly, "You should just give it to Lord Peng to avoid any mistakes. Otherwise, if Lord Peng blames you, don't blame me for not reminding you."

The soldier snorted coldly. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he still closed the lid of the pot and said to Duan Tianyang: "If you dare to lie to me, I will make you pay!"

Then he called a few companions and ordered, "Keep an eye on them, I will report to the adults."

The soldier held Duan Tianyang's wine jug and ran into the mansion quickly.

At this moment, Peng Jia was sitting in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and next to him was his long-relied trusted think tank, Li Jiu, who was of the same age as him.

While the two were having a heated conversation, soldiers hurried into the hall.

As soon as he saw Peng Jia, the soldier immediately stepped in to salute and respectfully reported: "Sir, there is a young man outside who claims to be your friend and comes to see you."

Peng Jia raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "My friend? What's his name?"

The soldier answered cautiously: "His name is Yang Tian."

"Yang Tian..." Peng Jia felt puzzled. He didn't know anyone named Yang Tian, ​​let alone any friends.

Just when he was confused, the soldier handed him the wine jug and explained: "The man said that this is a specialty of his hometown. You will know his identity at a glance."

Peng Jia took the wine jug. Although it was small and made of a gourd, it felt heavy.

He opened the lid of the pot and a strange smell hit his nose. Wasn't it the smell of wine?

Peng Jia became suspicious, so he picked up a teacup and slowly poured the liquid from the jug into it.

What flowed out of the pot's spout was not wine, but a thick, dark liquid.

What is this? This is nonsense!

Peng Jia was furious and placed the wine pot heavily on the table. Just as he was about to speak, Li Jiu, who was sitting next to him, turned his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and smiled softly, "Sir, this Yang Tian is indeed your friend."

"What?" Peng Jia was stunned. When did he have a friend named Yang Tian? He himself had never heard of him, so how could Li Jiu know?

Just as he was about to ask, Li Jiu smiled and waved at him, then turned to the soldier beside him and said, "Please invite your friend in."

The soldier responded and immediately turned and left.

After the soldiers left, Peng Jia asked in confusion, "Mr. Li, what do you mean? I don't even know this person!"

Li Jiu laughed and suggested, "Sir, you might as well try reading the word 'Yang Tian' backwards."

"Yang Tian... Tian Yang... Tian Yang?" Peng Jia repeated. Li Jiu pointed at the liquid in the teacup and said with a smile, "This is kerosene. The visitor said it is a specialty of his hometown. So, his hometown must be..."

"Tianhu City!" Peng Jia blurted out. He suddenly realized, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said in disbelief: "The person who came is..."
