Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.145 - Traitor of the Green Leaf Sect
"Sorry brother Xiang Yang, heading west? West is the direction of the Imperial Capital, don't tell me you want to take us to attack the empire right now?" Ming Tu's forehead shriveled.
"Heheh, of course we cannot attack the Imperial Palace! We're heading west for an ambush!"
"Attack?" Ming Tu's forehead shriveled further, as well as the others, only Han Shizu still held on with a flat face, although the girl was also confused by Xiang Yang's words.
"There's no need to ask much for now, if you believe me then we'll head west for an ambush like I said!" Xiang Yang was a bit lazy to explain.
Ming Tu sighed lightly "Alright Brother Xiang Yang, I believe in you! But is there no further explanation such as the plan and who will we ambush?"
"You'll find out later!"
Ming Tu smiled wryly as Xiang Yang did not seem to want to explain to them.
Xiang Yang turned to look at Han Shizu "Shizu, you can't take part in the ambush this time!"
Han Shizu ambushed several times while tilting her head, asking why she was not allowed to come along.
"Your strength is much needed here if there is an attack from the enemy, besides I have other duties for you!" Xiang Yang took out a dimensional ring "In this dimensional ring there is a box and a jade slip, I have included a note of what you should do in this dimensional ring! You must do as I say in that note!"
Han Shizu accepted the dimensional ring then nodded obediently, not doing any refutation.
Han Shizu did not know what Xiang Yang ordered in the note, but he would follow whatever Xiang Yang ordered, yes, except under certain conditions.
"All right, then let's go!" Xiang Yang also went to bring all the members of the Green Leaf Sect including Ming Tu.
***
One day later.
On a mountain where the top looks flat, like a neatly cut tree trunk.
The mountain had a path in its midst, as if it had been slashed by a sword, creating a path.
Currently, Xiang Yang, Ming Tu and all the members of the Green Leaf Sect were on top of the mountain, right on the edge of the cliff separating between the mountains.
"So Brother Xiang Yang, who will we ambush?" Ming Tu asked, he was really curious about that answer.
But the answer Xiang Yang gave remained unsatisfactory to his curiosity.
"Wait a minute, I think they'll be seen soon!"
Ming Tu sighed with a wry smile.
Seen, there were about 5 thousand people in bright blue uniforms, walking in neat rows according to the weapons they used.
People with shield weapons and spears were in the front row. About 10 meters behind the shield user line is a row of sword users, in the same distance between the shield and sword users are arrow users.
Actually not a shield user in the front row, but there are about 50 horsemen with armor and weapons complete.
Ming Tu and the members of the Green Leaf Sect were very surprised to see the thousands of troops, as they were very clear about the troops.
It was an army of the Ming Empire. Judging from the number, it seemed like it was almost all of the imperial army.
But it was not the arrival of the troops that made Ming Tu and the others surprised, but 2 horsemen who were in the front position.
One man was a middle-aged man with a thin mustache and a short beard that was partially bleached. He was a major general of the Ming Empire who became the right-hand man of Emperor Ming Qin, Wang Duo.
But it was not Wang Duo that was the main focus of Ming Tu and his troops, but rather one horseman beside General Wang Duo.
That person was a middle-aged man whose age was not much different from that of Wang Duo. Ming Tu and his troops knew that person very well, he was Wang Wu, one of the Elders of the Green Leaf Sect.
Ming Tu and the others could not believe what they saw, whether it was actually Wang Wu or someone else who only resembled him, or perhaps they had mistakenly seen.
They were seen rubbing their eyes a few times before returning to notice the middle-aged man. Yet their vision had not changed at all, it was indeed Wang Wu.
"You're not mistaken Brother Ming Tu, he is indeed Elder Wang Wu!" Xiang Yang stared flatly at Wang Wu.
"But.how is it possible? All this time he's been very loyal, even he's been considered my own uncle! His loyalty was never questioned, he always carried out duties like whatever the risk, he never denied! What made her betrayal?" Ming Tu still had a hard time believing the reality he saw.
Not only Ming Tu but all the other members of the Green Leaf Sect, as they knew Wang Wu was the most obedient and loyal elder.
"Chairman Wang Wu...What exactly happened to him? Why would he commit such treason? Have I ever made a mistake?"
Elder Lang Kun and almost all the members of the Green Leaf Sect, put on an angry face with a look of hatred towards Wang Wu. Clearly they did not accept Wang Wu's betrayal.
"It is fitting that I did not see him when the attack was made, it turns out that he had betrayed!" Elder Lang Kun clenched his hand.
"Traitors are traitors, whatever the reason for betrayal is unforgivable!" Xiang Yang patted Ming Tu's shoulder "Brother Ming Tu, I know this is difficult for you because Wang Wu is your most loyal subordinate, yet it was before and has become the past! You must act decisively to show your speed in obtaining the emperor's throne!..
So Brother Ming Tu, make your choice now! Decide what you will do after seeing this reality!"
Ming Tu inhaled a deep breath while closing his eyes, then exhaled simultaneously by opening his eyes. Instantly a steadfast expression was placed on Ming Tu's face.
"We're already here, so there's no reason to turn around! Moreover, the troops that Wang Wu brought were heading eastward, which meant that they intended to attack the Purple Sky Sect! Wang Wu must have exposed our secrets to the Imperial side!" Ming Tu stared intently at the Ming Empire's army "The lives of all my subordinates are more important than the lives of a traitor!"
