Waiting for a day at Cuiyun Villa, Gu Zuo received a reply from Shen Taizhi. The Luofu sect agreed to join the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee. Since the matter was relatively sensitive, according to Gu Zuo's suggestion, it was best not to select Gao Xiu to enter Yizhou. In this regard,

The Luofu Sect fully agreed. After discussion, they selected Lu Qiao and sent twenty monks from the affiliated sect Qingzhi Mountain to Yizhou.

When Gu Zuo left Luofu County, Shen Taizhi asked: "When will the trusteeship committee end?"

Gu Zuodao: "My idea is to continue until the imperial court sends a suitable Jiedushi envoy."

Shen Taizhi nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Then let's see who the imperial court will send."

After leaving Luofu County, the head of Qingyuan County asked: "Where are we going now?"

Gu Zuo said: "Meng Leshan, return to the camp."

At this moment, Menngle Mountain has become a huge military camp. In addition to the three thousand soldiers and horses of Nan Wu Prefecture, there are more than 10,000 surrendered prisoners. Under the auspices of Yang Jian, the prisoners are being screened and the civilians in the Yizhou army are being released.

Seeing Gu Zuo returning to the camp, Yang Jian and everyone came to see him. Gu Zuo said, "You should be quick to screen the surrendered prisoners. I will send you back to Yizhou. Xian Yuxiang and Li Mi escaped, do you know that?"

Yang Jian couldn't hide his smile: "I know."

Gu Zuodao: "Huaixian Pavilion, Tangmen, Lishui Sect, and Luofu Sect will form a Yizhou Trusteeship Committee to perform the functions of Jiedu Government until the new Jiedushi takes office...and maybe Qingcheng Sect. You will serve as Huaixian Pavilion

Representative, join the committee and select twenty monks to go with you."

Yang Jian asked: "Who are the representatives selected by each sect?"

Gu Zuo replied: "The Luofu sect is Lu Qiao, have you met him in Dongxi? Very good... The Lishui sect is Wang Ruhu, I think he is more obedient... You don't have to worry about this, Lishui

Pai must agree... The Tang Sect is Tang Junzhe... Wait, when did you meet in Dongxi? Isn't this... inappropriate?"

Hearing that it was these people, Yang Jian was very excited, which meant that he must have the most say in the Trusteeship Committee, so he solemnly said: "I will definitely live up to my official position!"

Gu Zuo asked again: "Where is He Luguang? Does he know the news of Li Mi's defeat?"

Yang Jiandao: "Your military orders are not allowed and no one is approaching. I haven't mentioned it to him yet, but when the news of the victory came a few days ago, the sergeants cheered loudly. He must have realized something."

Yang Jian was well aware of He Lvguang's prestige in the army. In order to prevent the surrendered prisoners from mutiny and rescue He Lvguang, he transferred He Lvguang to a secluded cave in Menngle Mountain and was imprisoned, far away from the Yizhou soldiers.

Gu Zuo brought wine and meat, carried it himself, and entered the cave where He Lvguang was imprisoned. He saw He Lvguang half leaning on the rock wall, his face haggard and silent.

Walking up to him, he sat down on the hay and took out a jar of wine: "The army doesn't carry much wine. This is the last jar..." and took out a big plantain.

After unfolding the package made of leaves, there are several golden roasted chickens inside, with a fragrant aroma.

"Try the wild pheasants in Menngle Mountain. They are ferocious in nature and dare to fight with wolves. They are lower-level monsters."

He Luguang sat up straight, picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp into his mouth, then picked up a pheasant and gnawed it.

Gu Zuo waited for him to eat for a while and said: "Five days ago, I intercepted Li Mi on the Moshan Trail. He was only thirty miles away from the Qianglang River. It was so dangerous..."

He Luguang's body sluggished, and his chewing speed gradually slowed down.

"Li Mi abandoned the army and left, but 3,000 Yizhou soldiers stayed. I tried my best to get people to rescue him, but the Mo River was so fast that only more than 1,800 people survived, and the rest all died. Li Mi returned

After returning to Yizhou, I took Xian Yuxiang away, and now Yizhou is in my hands."

Two drops of tears fell on the banana leaf, and He Luguang started eating meat again, devouring it even more voraciously than before.

"Join us!" Gu Zuo's eyes were full of sincerity.

He Luguang took a few more bites and said: "Xianyu Xiang is deeply trusted by Your Majesty and Yang. As soon as the imperial court sends an official document, you will have to withdraw from Yizhou. At that time, General Li will reorganize his army and go south again."

Gu Zuo shook his head: "No, no, no, you are wrong. It is possible to withdraw from Yizhou, but the court must change a military envoy. We do not accept Xian Yuxiang. Have you forgotten the purpose of our sending troops? Qing Jun side, punish

Xianyu!"

He Luguang said: "If you don't accept it, is it useful?"

Gu Zuodao: "What I just said is us. This us includes Huaixian Pavilion, Tang Sect, Lishui Sect, Luofu Sect, and Qingcheng Sect. As for Li Mi, he can't come back, he will die."

He Luguang sneered: "You will die if you say so? Why? You are the imperial court? Even if the battle is defeated, he is the general who knows Jiannan and Nanzhao best!"

Gu Zuodao: "Because I know fortune-telling, I calculated that he is dead. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. If Li Mi dies, you join the Huaixian Pavilion and become an elder for me. If Li Mi doesn't die, I will

How about letting you go?"

He Luguang bit the chicken leg, his mouth full of meat, and nodded casually: "Okay. Set a time limit, or I won't be locked up by you for the rest of my life."

Gu Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Just half a year."

After making the bet, Gu Zuo was in a happy mood and was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by He Luguang: "Did you just say, Qingcheng?"

Gu Zuo smiled and said: "Of course there is Qingcheng. Yizhou is their homeland after all, right? Maybe they will be a little confused at first, but they will figure it out soon."

As Gu Zuo said, the Qingcheng faction really couldn't figure out why Yizhou should be managed by a messy trusteeship committee when it was clearly their territory.

Elder Yu said to Tang Shisan, who was going up the mountain again: "Your trusteeship committee is unreasonable! If someone from Qingcheng comes from Qingcheng and takes your Tongchuan County into trusteeship, what will you think? Trusteeship? It's really the most powerful thing in the world.

Ridiculous!"

Tang Shisan said slowly and calmly: "It's different. This is government affairs, general affairs, and Yizhou's spiritual affairs. It's you, Qingcheng, who have the final say. The one in charge is Jiannan Jiedu Mansion. They are two different things."

Elder Yu sneered: "No matter what the matter is, it is managed by our Qingcheng faction. What does it have to do with you? Do you really think that your Tang Sect can ride on our Qingcheng faction? Last time, you took advantage of the situation and took over.

It’s so cheap, do you really think you can push it further? You can give it a try, and then we’ll see the real deal on Wanbu Cliff!”

Tang Shisan said: "Elder Yu, why are you doing this? Tang Sect, Huaixian Pavilion, and Lishui Sect are all for Yizhou's livelihood, not for personal gain..."

Elder Yu interrupted: "You think we, Qingcheng, are afraid of you because we have a group? Even if all three of your families come, the result will be the same!"

While they were talking, Tang Hongyu appeared outside the door, said hello and handed Tang Shisan a note.
