Although Murong Bai was in Emei, he had already guessed about the movements of Zhang Zhenren and Xiao Zhang.

Therefore, Murong Bai's trip to the Shaolin faction is not only to meet the abbot of Shaolin, Master Kongwen, but more importantly, he wants to use the Nine Suns in his hand as a bargaining chip to resolve the past grievances between the Kunlun and Wudang factions, so that These two major sects can form allies in this regard.

After all, in today's world, if there is one person in the world who can save Xiao Zhang's life, it can only be him, Murong Bai.

Thinking about how important Zhang Zhenren is to Xiao Zhang, there shouldn't be much difficulty in meeting these two conditions, which are not too much.

With something on his mind, Murong Bai's speed on the road unknowingly became much faster.

A few days passed in a moment, and after arriving in Hanzhong, the road ahead finally became flat.

But Murong Bai was not in a hurry to rush on his way, instead he first took the token of the head of Kunlun, went to find a disciple of the nearby Kunlun sect, and asked him carefully about the defeat of Zhou Ziwang in Yuanzhou.

Although the Kunlun faction's influence in the hinterland of the Central Plains was not comparable to that of Emei, its manpower was really limited, and it didn't even have a stronghold in Shu.

But the good thing is that there are Kunlun disciples stationed here in Hanzhong City, and they have already paid attention to such big news as Zhou Ziwang's defeat in Yuanzhou.

Therefore, Murong Bai easily obtained a detailed message from the deacon in charge of the stronghold here, in which the time and place when Zhou Ziwang's tribe was completely wiped out by Yuan soldiers were clearly written.

Chapter 117

Chapter 117

It turned out that at the end of August, the imperial court sent a large army to surround Yuanzhou and fought a big battle with Zhou Ziwang's tribe.

Although Zhou Ziwang's tribe is based on Mingjiao disciples, more people in the team are ordinary people who dragged their families from ten miles and eight villages to defect after Zhou Ziwang raised the uprising flag.

These so-called "righteous bravery" composed of farmers are not bad in fighting against the wind, but when facing the tens of thousands of Mongolian Yuan cavalry mobilized by the upper court, they immediately showed their prototypes and became a mob who could only watch the wind and flee. How much effect, Zhou Ziwang had to lead the Mingjiao believers out to work hard.

But even though Zhou Ziwang's Mingjiao members are all brave and unparalleled, and they have the support of Peng Yingyu, Leng Qian and other senior leaders in the church, the gap in numbers cannot be made up by just blood.

Zhou Ziwang's tribe was defeated by Yuan soldiers in that battle, and when they moved to the mountainous area two days ago, they were ambushed by Yuan soldiers and were seriously injured.

"Maybe he's dead."

The deacon surnamed Kunlun in Hanzhong City, who was in charge of collecting information, saw that Murong Bai seemed to be quite interested in Zhou Ziwang of Yuanzhou, so he smiled and talked about some gossip he had heard, and added to Murong Bai, "I heard it's the chest Hit by an arrow."

"It's difficult for our people to get close to the rebellious army, but judging from the pigeon letter sent yesterday, Zhou Ziwang's subordinates have died in the past two days, and they have surrendered. They are the group of people who originally said they were going to fight in Sichuan. There is no sound at all.”

"A lot of people went to Zhejiang and joined the Skyhawk Sect."

Deacon Li shook his head and smiled, looked at Murong Bai and continued, "From this point of view, the Yuanzhou Demon Cult must have no leader. Understand."

Nodding slightly at this Deacon Li, Murong Bai did not speak.

He knew clearly in his heart that Zhou Ziwang of Yuanzhou would definitely die, but when he died was a very important benchmark for Murong Bai today.

You know, after Zhang Zhenren led his classmate Xiao Zhang down from Shaoshi Mountain, it was on the Hanshui ferry that he met Chang Yuchun of the Ming religion who was besieged and killed by Yuan soldiers and monks. To repay his kindness, he asked Xiao Zhang to go to Butterfly Valley to seek medical treatment.

Then why did Chang Yuchun appear on the Han River?

At this time, Chang Yuchun was only about 20 years old, and he didn't know a bald monk named Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he had joined the Demon Cult, he was a subordinate of Zhou Ziwang in Yuanzhou.

In order to protect Zhou Ziwang's youngest son, Chang Yuchun risked his life to rush out from the rebellious army, but was overtaken by Yuan soldiers at Hanshui Ferry, and then happened to meet Zhang Zhenzhen and Xiao Zhang and his classmates.

Look, the crux of the problem comes back to Zhou Ziwang.

If Murong Bai wanted to talk to Zhang Zhenren, he had to confirm Zhou Ziwang's life and death before he could take the boat down the Han River.

What's more, Murong Bai was also a little worried about the current situation of life and death of that cold-faced Mr. Leng Qian who was also in the whirlpool of Yuanzhou and had a close relationship with Murong Bai.

Holding the note in his hand and meditating for a moment, Murong Bai suddenly raised his head to stare at Deacon Li's face, and said in a deep voice, "Send an order to my Kunlun disciples to inquire about Yuanzhou's situation in detail in the next few days."

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was cold and crisp, "As soon as there is news about Zhou Ziwang, please send me a pigeon letter!"

After pondering for a while, he continued, "Send someone to keep a close eye on the Hanshui route. If you see any monks and Yuan soldiers fighting with the remnants of Yuanzhou's Ming religion, don't worry about it. Just send back the specific news."

The extraordinary aura he brought out when he spoke, coupled with the token of the head of Kunlun in Murong Bai's hand, made Deacon Li suddenly have the illusion of seeing the elders in the sect in a trance.

Subconsciously, he straightened his body and respectfully clenched his fists at Murong Bai, "I respect the order!"

Immediately, he ran away quickly, apparently to arrange the task Murong Bai had given him.

Seeing the back of Deacon Li going away, Murong Bai took a deep breath and prepared to leave this stronghold of the Kunlun faction.

Murong Bai's follow-up itinerary will only be by boat on the Han River, it is not difficult to find, and Deacon Li and other Kunlun disciples have contacted him through pigeon letters, so there is no way to miss the news.

And right now, since Yuan Zhou's Zhou Ziwang Department really had an accident.

Then I will wait and see, and I will always meet Chang Yuchun who is fighting with Yuan soldiers and monks on the Hanshui River.

After meeting Chang Yuchun, then Daoist Zhang was found.

Having made up his mind, Murong Bai was about to leave from here, but he didn't expect Deacon Li, who had just left for a while, to appear in front of Murong Bai again, shouting.

"Junior Brother Zhao, Junior Brother Zhao!"

Hurrying back from outside the courtyard, Deacon Li held up his palm and shouted, "Good news!"

He raised a small piece of silk cloth in his hand, and smiled at Murong Bai, "Zhou Ziwang is really dead!"

But when Murong Bai approached, seeing Murong Bai's slightly weird eyes, he touched his nose in embarrassment, and couldn't help but murmur, "Uh, it's not really good news..."

Actually, the strange look in Murong Bai's eyes was just because he saw Deacon Li returning so quickly, so he felt a little emotional in his heart.

He didn't know what Deacon Li might be wrong about. After hearing the news that Zhou Ziwang had died, he no longer wanted to joke with Deacon Li.

He only stared into Deacon Li's eyes, and asked again to confirm whether Zhou Ziwang of Yuanzhou was really dead.

The answer received from Deacon Li did not change, and at the same time, the piece of silk cloth held by Deacon Li was also sent to Murong Bai.
