Peach Leaf Fairy quickly asked.
Mr. Mo spoke eloquently: "First, reinforcements are needed. The Holy Envoy needs to ask the Holy Maiden for permission to send more people and experts to Shaanxi."
“When Island Master Sima was in command before, our experts suffered heavy casualties. Now we are short of experts. Unless the four Holy Envoys personally lead us to attack the mountain, we will never be able to make it up. However, the Holy Envoys are of noble status. How can we let the Holy Envoys do such a thing? We can only ask the Holy Envoys to inform the Holy Maiden of our predicament and send more experts over.”
Tao Genxian hesitated and asked, "What about the second method?"
Although Master Mo's subsequent words pleased the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, they dared not attack now, for they were terrified of Jiang Ning after their previous defeats.
"The second method is to stall. Although Mount Hua is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as we stall until the Five Mountains Sword Sects on Mount Hua run out of food and supplies, we can wait in comfort and they will have no choice but to come down and fight us."
Mr. Mo continued.
"How long will that take?"
Peach Leaf Fairy asked.
"In my opinion, although the enemy has made preparations, the food they have prepared will likely last for at least one or two months, or even three or four months. At that time, the enemy will definitely run out of food and will collapse on its own."
Mr. Mo's words are nonsense. After several months of siege, things are bound to change.
"If things continue like this, where will our food come from?"
Sima Da questioned.
"No need for Island Master Sima to worry."
Mr. Mo chuckled and said, "The White Dragon Gang Leader Shi and his men are willing to contribute silver to solve this problem for us."
He had already discussed it beforehand, and those people would raise the money. They had even raised 10,000 taels of silver when they were raising money to buy grain.
"Okay, okay, we'll do as you say."
Tao Genxian said upon hearing this.
Anyway, Ren Yingying only told them to stall here and attract attention from all sides, to stall for as long as possible. Mr. Mo's words were exactly what they wanted.
"Holy Envoy, you mustn't!"
Sima Da became anxious upon hearing this, but the Four Immortals of Peach Valley had already made their decision.
"In that case, Lao Jia, you can make the arrangements."
Peach Leaf Fairy chuckled and patted the spot next to her.
"Old Jia, have you eaten yet? Come and have some with us."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Without any hesitation, Mr. Mo sat down and began eating and chatting with the others, occasionally making the four immortals of Peach Valley dance with joy.
Sima Da watched from the side and snorted coldly.
After having a free meal there, Mr. Mo took his leave with a smile on his face.
The matter has been resolved.
……
Seven days later.
Feng Buping finally returned from Hanzhong Prefecture, bringing with him several large bags.
"nailed it."
Feng Buping pointed to the bag on the ground.
"so much?"
Abbess Qingwei was somewhat surprised.
These have exceeded the required amount.
"Is it too much? I thought it wouldn't be enough."
Feng Buping laughed.
After arriving in Hanzhong Prefecture, he directly told Prefect Chen what Jiangning had said. Prefect Chen did not hesitate and searched the entire Hanzhong Prefecture before finding these items. He originally wanted to search other prefectures, but Feng Buping was afraid that there would not be enough time, so he quickly brought them here.
"enough."
Looking at these large bags, Jiang Ning said.
Yue Buqun said, "Since that's the case, let's take action."
He had already gone to Mount Hua a few days ago and discussed it with Ning Zhongze and the others.
"I'll go to the enemy camp again."
Jiang Ning needs to inform Master Mo Da so that they can make preparations as well. Yue Buqun also needs to go to Mount Hua again so that Ning Zhongze and the others can get ready.
Without delay, Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun set off immediately.
Jiang Ning had come all the way to the enemy camp, and he had lost count of how many times he had been there before; he was very familiar with the place.
After finding Mr. Mo's tent, Jiang Ning discovered that Mr. Mo was drinking.
"Master Mo."
Jiang Ning walked in from outside the tent.
"What? Everything's arranged?"
Mr. Mo was not surprised and glanced at it before asking.
"Well, everything is ready."
Jiang Ning nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Mo said, "Make sure you have the necessary personnel on your side, and we'll take action tomorrow night."
Actually, he has been making preparations all along.
Jiang Ning nodded. "Okay."
Mr. Mo added, "The bows and arrows are stored in the hands of a gang in the west. We'll start from there tomorrow."
After quickly deciding on the time, Jiang Ning left. If the operation went smoothly, the crisis facing the Huashan Sect would be resolved.
Upon returning to their own base camp, Jiang Ning informed Zhang Quandao, Abbess Qingwei, and others of the plan and the timeline of the operation. They were all very excited and began to make preparations. It wasn't until the evening of the following day that they began their large-scale operation, approaching the enemy camp.
"Old Jia, if you're going to drink, just drink. Why did you call us all over?"
Inside the tent, more than twenty people gathered around, looking at Master Mo with some confusion.
Jars of wine and meat were placed in front of the crowd.
Mr. Mo chuckled and said, “Everyone has gathered here from all corners of the country. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and for taking such good care of me these past few days. This banquet is mainly to express my gratitude to you all.”
While Master Mo was speaking, Jiang Ning and Abbess Qingwei had already taken action.
Under the cover of night, Mount Hua was pitch black. Jiang Ning, Zhang Quandao, and the others lay in ambush in the grass, watching the camp not far away.
"Master Jiang, what should we do?"
Zhang Quandao whispered.
"Master, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and take a look."
Jiang Ning replied.
They are now approaching the place they had previously agreed upon with Mr. Mo.
"it is good."
Zhang Quandao responded softly, and Jiang Ning then left and walked towards the camp.
Jiang Ning found the place very quiet and deserted after entering. He continued deeper into the area until he discovered that Liu Qin was already waiting for him.
"Where are the people here?"
Jiang Ning inquired.
"It's all in there."
Liu Qin pulled back a curtain of a tent, inside which lay a group of people, and a pile of wine jars rolled on the ground.
"Are they dead?"
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.
Liu Qin shook her head: "No, they're all drunk."
He deliberately arrived early and got everyone drunk.
"Has everyone arrived?"
Liu Qin said, "We need to hurry, or we'll get discovered."
"I'll go back and call them now."
"Just a dozen or so will do. Send the drinks to the others first."
"Ah."
Jiang Ning had originally planned to come in first to scout out the situation, but now he didn't hesitate and immediately went back to tell Zhang Quandao and the others to come in quickly.
Not long after, Zhang Quandao entered with more than a dozen men.
Upon seeing them approach, Liu Qin pointed to the people inside the tent.
"Let them change into their clothes."
"Who is this?"
Zhang Quandao looked at Jiang Ning and asked.
"They are our Five Mountains Sword Sect's inside agents."
Jiang Ning gave a brief introduction and then instructed Zhang Quandao to begin preparations.
"it is good."
Time was of the essence, and Zhang Quandao didn't waste any words. He and the other Taoists planned to kill these people one by one with a knife, but Jiang Ning stopped them.
"Just snap their necks."
Seeing blood will produce a bloody smell and make it easier to be discovered. But snapping a neck is quick and easy, and there won't be any bloody smell. Jiang Ning is very experienced in this area.
Chapter 235 Let me give you a quick death
After quickly dealing with these people, Jiang Ning, Zhang Quandao, and the others had already changed into their own clothes.
"follow me."
Liu Qin led the way for them, and they arrived at the logistics department.
"Young Master Liu, you've arrived."
The two guards outside smiled as they watched Liu Qin approach.
"Are you all ready?"
Liu Qin smiled.
"Everything is ready. You and Master Jia have given the orders, so how could we dare disobey?"
The man, all smiles, quickly led Liu Qin, Jiang Ning, and the others into the tent, where jars of wine were piled up.
"Look, they're all stored here."
"Well, hard work."
Liu Qin smiled.
"It's nothing, uh..."
Jiang Ning stopped, and the two men immediately collapsed.
"Master Jiang, where should we send all of these?"
Zhang Quandao came over; at this moment, they were all holding jars of wine.
"Just follow my instructions."
