Earlier, horns sounded from the direction of the Ming army camp, and the Ming troops attacking Tahu City hurriedly withdrew.
The Green-Winged Bat King naturally realized that Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, and the others' night raid must have been effective.
He spoke to Qiao Feng first, intending to give the credit to Qiao Feng so that Murong Fu would not benefit from it.
However, what the Green-Winged Bat King didn't expect was...
Upon hearing what he said, Murong Fu was the first to stand up and exclaimed:
"Thank you all for trusting me!"
"This night raid on the enemy camp was very effective. It not only killed many bandits and burned many tents, but also disrupted the Ming army."
"Tonight, the Ming Dynasty will be too busy to take care of itself, so Tahu City can have a peaceful night."
At this point, Murong Fu paused slightly, then smiled smugly, and continued:
"In my opinion, we should plan more of these kinds of sneak attacks in the future."
Upon hearing what Murong Fu said, the Green-Winged Bat King frowned.
I never expected this guy to be so shameless.
I've never seen anyone so eager to claim credit for themselves.
The faces of White-Browed Eagle King and the other members of the Ming Cult also looked grim.
The person they respected and admired was Wang Yang.
However, Murong Fu targeted Wang Yang at every turn.
In the eyes of the Ming Cult members, Murong Fu may look respectable, but he is no good.
The Green-Winged Bat King and the others chuckled at this, their expressions full of sarcasm.
If it weren't for the formidable enemy at hand, he would have loved to teach Murong Fu, that selfish, shameless bastard, a lesson.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng merely smiled faintly. He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that Murong Fu was trying to flatter him.
But he had no intention of competing with Murong Fu for anything.
In his heart, the greater good of the nation and its people comes first.
Meanwhile, the other martial arts figures who had accompanied Murong Fu to launch the sneak attack had strange expressions on their faces.
They looked at each other, both of them showing surprise.
After charging into the Ming army camp, Murong Fu was indeed the first to charge out, and he was quite brave in the face of the enemy.
To their disappointment...
As soon as the martial arts figures from the Ming Dynasty arrived, Murong Fu shouted once and then left without looking back.
That scene was somewhat disheartening to most people.
In particular, the fact that this happened to someone who wanted to be in a leadership position makes him even more detestable.
Seeing that none of the martial arts practitioners around him reacted to what he had said.
Murong Fu was filled with embarrassment, and his smile became stiff.
Fortunately, at this moment, Bao Butong suddenly stood up and said:
"Young master, under your leadership, we will surely defeat the Ming Dynasty and restore peace and prosperity to the Song Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Bo'e's several retainers echoed his sentiments.
The four retainers originally thought that their interference would surely liven up the atmosphere.
To their surprise, the martial arts practitioners around them showed them no respect whatsoever.
Needless to say, the members of the Ming Cult already despised Murong Fu, so why would they give him a friendly look?
Those martial arts practitioners who participated in the night raid were genuinely dissatisfied with Murong Fu's exaggerated claims and his eagerness to escape, so it would be strange if they were willing to pay any attention to him!
Seeing that he had set the stage, yet only his own people could perform, Murong Fu was completely dumbfounded.
I even felt so ashamed that I wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
After a slight pause, Murong Fu suddenly noticed that both the Ming Cult and Wudang had come to relieve the guards, but Wang Yang was nowhere to be seen.
Upon thinking of this, he quickly spoke up:
"Is Alliance Leader Wang still in the inn, enjoying a romantic evening with two beautiful women?"
"Everyone else has rested and come to relieve us. As the leader of the alliance, he doesn't set a good example. It's really not right of him!"
As he spoke, Murong Fu even put on a look of disappointment and frustration, sighing to himself.
His words immediately drew resentful glances from the Ming Cult members.
The Green-Winged Bat King didn't tolerate Murong Fu's behavior and directly rebuked him:
"Murong Fu! What are your true intentions in targeting Alliance Leader Wang like this?"
"The Alliance Leader has captured numerous Ming Dynasty spies for Tahu City, including the four top spies from the Dragon Guard Manor!"
"What right do you have to slander the alliance leader like this?"
Murong Fu smiled slightly, not angry at all. His skin was as thick as a city wall, and he replied:
"Bat King, do not be angry!"
"I was just telling the truth."
"As the leader of the martial arts alliance, he should indeed set an example, shouldn't he?"
Seeing that Murong Fu showed no shame whatsoever, the Green-Winged Bat King was furious.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yang had already cured the cold poison in his body, he would have rushed up and bitten Murong Fu, that treacherous villain, to death.
Meanwhile, the other members of the Ming Cult, including the White-browed Eagle King, also had gloomy expressions.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense, as if the two sides would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
At this moment, Qiao Feng stepped forward and tried to mediate between the two sides:
"Let's all keep quiet! This is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves."
"Outside... there's a Ming Dynasty army and many martial arts masters waiting for us to deal with!"
"Wouldn't fighting amongst ourselves at this time just benefit our enemies?"
After Qiao Feng said this, the Ming Cult members and Murong Fu finally stopped fighting.
Seeing that Wang Yang hadn't come to relieve him, he was very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that they weren't trying to avoid internal strife, he would have wanted to fight Wang Yang.
Subsequently, Qiao Feng, Xuan Ci, Murong Fu, Fan Yao, Qingyi Bat King, and others were relieved of their duties and went back to rest.
White-browed Eagle King, Yang Xiao, and Song Yuanqiao, among other Wudang figures, took over the defense.
...
Everyone originally thought that the Ming army would not launch another attack tonight.
But to everyone's surprise, in the middle of the night, the Ming army launched another attack on Tahu City.
White-browed Eagle King and his men, along with the defending soldiers, fought valiantly to repel the Ming army's repeated attacks.
The next day.
Wang Yang didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.
After breakfast, he led Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Shangguan Haitang, and Jingxuan and Yang Lai from Emei to the east gate tower of Tahu City.
Zhou Zhiruo appeared extremely excited.
After arriving in Tahu City, she mainly kept watch over Zhao Min, and later Shangguan Haitang was also assigned to the task.
Now that I can finally climb the main city tower and fight the enemy, I am naturally happy.
Shangguan Haitang followed closely behind Wang Yang, harboring her own thoughts.
They eagerly awaited the arrival of martial arts masters from the Ming Dynasty to engage in a fierce battle with Wang Yang and his group.
When that time comes, Wang Yang will probably be too preoccupied with her to care about her, and will be able to find an opportunity to escape.
Zhao Min didn't intend to escape, but she did hope for a great battle between the two sides, and it would be even better if both sides could be severely injured.
After all, both the Song and Ming dynasties were threats to the Yuan dynasty!
Of course, there was an even better outcome: the Song Dynasty was severely weakened, and the Ming Dynasty was defeated and fled.
Because of Wang Yang, some of the Yuan Dynasty's top fighters were injured or captured.
If the Ming Dynasty retreats with a significant amount of strength remaining, and then attacks the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty might not be able to withstand it.
