"Deputy... Deputy Gang Leader, the bandits from Dongting Lake defected to the court, and joined forces with the Wuchang Navy and Changsha Navy to attack Changde Mansion. Taking advantage of our unpreparedness, we took the Changde City in one fell swoop!" The man who was grabbed by Deputy Gang Leader Liu said in panic, "It is said that those official troops were extremely cruel and launched a massacre against our brothers who were left in Changde City, causing heavy casualties."

Changde Prefecture is adjacent to Yueyang Prefecture. Its capital is Changde City, the city that was first captured in the Huguang area of ​​the Merit Destiny. It is specially used to provide supplies to the main force of the Merit Destiny of Jingzhou Prefecture. Deputy Gangmao Liu arranged 20,000 fanatical believers of the Merit Destiny to ensure the safety of Changde City. In his opinion, with the guarding of these 20,000 fanatical believers of the Merit Destiny, and with the assistance of the bandits in Dongting Lake, Changde City is as stable as Mount Tai.

Once Changde Prefecture is taken down by the official army, it will become an iron gate between Liuzhen and Jingzhou Prefecture, dividing the power of the Merit of Merit in Huguang into two, so that it cannot be taken care of each other. Deputy Gangmao Liu wanted to withdraw the main force of the Merit of Jingzhou Prefecture, but was powerless.

"How could this happen?" Deputy Gangmaster Liu then let go of the subordinate and murmured to himself. He couldn't accept this incredible news for a while: Didn't Dongting Lake have already fought with the navy in Wuchang and Changsha? Why did he suddenly surrender to the official army?

Dangdang...

Before Deputy Gangmaster Liu could come to his senses, a harsh gong sounded from the east side of the town.

"Go and see what's going on?" Deputy Gang Leader Liu suddenly reacted after hearing the sound of the gong and asked in a deep voice at the subordinate in front of him. The sound of the gong was used for the merit teachings to warn.

As soon as Deputy Gangmaster Liu finished speaking, the sound of warning gongs sounded one after another on the south, west and north sides of the town. Deputy Gangmaster Liu was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale. He knew that no one would dare to joke about the sound of warning gongs. The sound of gongs sounded around the town indicated that an enemy was attacking, and it seemed that Liu Zhen had surrounded.

What puzzled Deputy Gangmaster Liu was that the Huguang area is now the world of merit religion. If there were any movement on the ground, it would not be hidden from him. How did those enemies attacking Liuzhen escape the eyeliner of merit religion? Judging from the rapidity of the gong sound, it seems that many enemies have come.

"Is it you?" After a moment, a shocked light flashed through Deputy Gang Leader Liu's eyes, and he turned to look at Tan Zong sitting there. At this time, he finally understood that Tan Zong took away the "general" on his chessboard and said the meaning of "There is an unexpected situation in the sky."

Just like a chess game, on the surface, Deputy Gang Leader Liu was in the upper hand everywhere, but in fact he had already fallen into Tan Zong's trap. Not only did he lose Changde Mansion, but he also left Liu Zhen surrounded by the enemy.

"You just understand now, don't you think it's too late?" Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this, threw the hand on the chessboard, and looked at the blood-faced Deputy Gang Leader Liu with a smile.

"You are from the court!" Deputy Gangmaster Liu looked at Tan Zong who was smiling, and his heart suddenly sank down. He couldn't help but hold his fists. He found that he had fallen into a trap.

"I am the one." At this point, Tan Zong no longer concealed his identity as an official. He stood up and pointed at Deputy Gang Leader Liu, and said sternly, "I think you were also grateful to the emperor, but now you have done such a traitor. You are simply worse than a beast. You deserve to die of death."

"How did you know that I have been an official?" Deputy Gangmaster Liu was shocked and asked involuntarily. No one mentioned this matter, and there were no more than five people who knew it.

"I didn't know at first, but now it seems that you have served in the court before." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said to Deputy Gangmaster Liu in a deep voice. He just deliberately tried him while Deputy Gangmaster Liu was restless, but he actually tested the details of Deputy Gangmaster Liu. In this way, as long as the true identity of Deputy Gangmaster Liu can be determined, he can find out the leader of the Merit Sect hidden behind the scenes.

"So what if you know, do you want to go out from here alive?" Seeing that he was actually caught by Tan Zong's plan, Deputy Gang Leader Liu's face turned pale. He never expected that the young man in front of him would be so cunning. Then he snorted coldly and slapped a few times outside the door.

With a huh, a group of sword-holding men rushed into the room. When Tan Zong came to see Deputy Gang Leader Liu, he felt a little strange, so he arranged an ambush outside the door. If there was any disturbance, he would come in and kill Tan Zong.

"Deputy Gang Master Liu, do you think I came to die?" Tan Zong couldn't help laughing when he saw this and said to Deputy Gang Master Liu calmly.

When Deputy Gangmaster Liu heard this, his brows frowned. It was obvious that Tan Zong would not have come to die, but what kind of tricks could he prepare?

Just as Deputy Gangmaster Liu was thinking secretly, a sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall. He turned his head and saw a group of big men in blue shirts jumping over the wall and jumping in, carrying a knife to the study room.

"Kill him." Deputy Gangmaster Liu saw that the group of blue-shirted men had already arrived outside the yard where he lived, and knew that the entire Liu family might be the other party's world now, so he glanced at Tan Zong, and ordered the man beside him expressionlessly. Then, under the protection of several personal guards, he hurriedly left, ready to leave the secret passage in the bedroom.

Deputy Gang Leader Liu's subordinates were then divided into two parts, some of whom waved their swords and rushed towards Tan Zong, while the other part was facing the blue-shirted man rushing over.

"Deputy Leader Liu, do you still want to leave?" Seeing that Deputy Leader Liu wanted to escape, Tan Zong couldn't help but smile, raised his legs and ran towards him, knocking over the big men who rushed towards him in a few seconds. He walked a few steps and blocked the front of Deputy Leader Liu, looking at him with a smile.

"Who are you?" Deputy Gangmaster Liu was shocked when he saw that Tan Zong was so skillful. In his impression, the court seemed not as good as Tan Zong, so he asked calmly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is who you are?" Tan Zong smiled and looked at Deputy Gang Leader Liu and said slowly.

"If you want to know who this deputy gang leader is, then you have to see if you have the ability." A ferocious smile flashed across the corner of Deputy gang leader Liu's mouth, and waved his hand to the close-fitting guard beside him, then turned around and walked back to the study room. The close-fitting guards immediately waved their swords to rush towards Tan Zong.

When Tan Zong defeated the personal guards, the blue-shirted man who climbed over the wall was also shocked to deal with the people who were hindering them, and led by the leader Shen San toward Tan Zong.

The guards of Deputy Gangmaster Liu were all first-class experts, but they were unlucky and met the elites in the inner court of the Supervision Mansion, so they were only slaughtered.

"Sir." Chen San came to Tan Zong, bowed to him, and said in a deep voice, "We have all taken down the Liu Mansion."

"Let's go, let's meet Deputy Gang Leader Liu." Tan Zong nodded slightly when he heard this, and walked into the study surrounded by Shen San and others.

In the study, Deputy Gangmaster Liu sat on the chair behind the desk with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

"Deputy Gang Master Liu, how about we make a deal? As long as you tell me about the merit teachings, I can protect you and your family." Tan Zong sat down on a chair and said to Deputy Gang Master Liu with a smile, throwing out an attractive olive branch. You must know that the merit teachings are committed by a serious crime of treason and will be executed.

"How can this deputy gang leader trust you?" Hearing this, Deputy gang leader Liu opened his eyes and looked at Tan Zong with an expressionless face.

"This is Lord Tan Zong, a guerrilla in Jiangnan, the Supervision Office. Lord Tan has always said everything he promised you. What he promised you will definitely be done." Before Tan Zong could speak, Chen Sanhongsheng, who stood beside Tan Zong, said to Deputy Gang Leader Liu.

"You are Tan Guzhi!" When Deputy Gangmaster Liu heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of shock. In his impression, Tan Zong was still thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. He never expected that Tan Zong would come to Huguang, and pretended to be crazy and fooled him.

"Deputy Gang Master Liu, I have been given the order from the official family and have full authority to handle the affairs of Huguang. As long as you tell me about the merit teachings, I will protect your whole family." Tan Zong smiled and nodded, and Hongsheng said to Deputy Gang Master Liu. If a gap can be opened from Deputy Gang Master Liu, the great trouble of Emperor Qingping, the Qingping Emperor, will be very happy to spare Deputy Gang Master Liu's life.

"Mr. Tan, do you take this seriously?" Deputy Gang Leader Liu was silent for a while after hearing this, then raised his head and looked at Tan Zong with a serious expression.

"A gentleman says a word, a quick whip!" Tan Zong smiled and said in a deep voice. Some words can only be understood and not expressed in words. Rather than saying a bunch of false things, it is better to express his point of view directly.

"Okay, I can tell you about the merit teaching, but you have to promise me to protect the safety of me and my family." Deputy Gang Leader Liu nodded heavily, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will protect you and your family." Tan Zong saw that Deputy Gangmao Liu seemed to be planning to accept his request, so he said solemnly.

"Mr. Tan, in order to show my sincerity, the leader of the Merit Sect can tell you now, but because this person has a great influence, I can only tell you one person." Deputy Gang Leader Liu sighed, stood up, and said to Tan Zong with a sad expression.

"The leader of the Moral Sect is..." Tan Zong heard this and walked towards Deputy Gangmaster Liu. After he came to Deputy Gangmaster Liu, Deputy Gangmaster Liu leaned into his ear and whispered, "Go to die!"

At the same time, Deputy Gangmaster Liu showed a ferocious smile on his face. He grabbed Tan Zong's arm with his left hand and pressed a pen holder on the table with his right hand. With a clatter, a sound came from the top of the two people's heads, and a black liquid spilled down from the beam.

"No!" With the appearance of the black liquid, Tan Zong immediately smelled a pungent smell, and was shocked. He didn't care about it. He kicked Deputy Gang Leader Liu in front of him to the ground and suddenly retreated.

The black liquid was poured on Deputy Gangmaster Liu who was lying on the ground, and then it was ignited by an oil lamp placed on the inside of the desk, and the fire started suddenly.

"Ah~~" Deputy Gang Leader Liu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly became a fireman, rolling in pain on the ground.

Looking at the burning fire in the study and the Deputy Gang Leader Liu who was rolling and wailing in the sea of ​​fire, Tan Zong frowned slightly and led Chen San and others out of the room. As he had guessed just now, the black liquid was tincture oil. It seemed that Deputy Gang Leader Liu wanted to die with him. He was such a stubborn guy.

"I will definitely find out who you are." After walking out of the study room, Tan Zong turned his head and looked at the study room that was soon swallowed by the raging fire, and walked away.
