Chapter 155: Change of plan!
Although Lin Xiaoyue wanted to go with them, the Silver Slash Guards had to stay here to protect everyone and they also had to eat here. Besides, the Drunken Old Monster couldn't leave home for the time being. Chen Yunyun alone had to cook and take care of the Drunken Old Monster, so she couldn't handle it!
She said worriedly, "Brother Liang, if you want to go, ask Manager Yao to come with you."
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'm going to the ruined temple first. Jin Heng is there. He will definitely go with me."
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liang Jingyao's back as he left, and the worry in her eyes grew deeper and deeper. When she sneaked into the dungeon yesterday, she felt that there were eyes staring at her everywhere, and there was a strange and ugly man beside Emperor Liang.
This man was very skilled in martial arts. He extinguished all the fires in the dungeon by himself. When he left with the old drunkard on his back, only this man noticed and chased him out! If it weren't for the swift speed of space movement, even if he had become invisible, he would have been caught by this man!
I hope Brother Liang won’t go to the palace!
After all, Liang Jingyao had deceived Lin Xiaoyue! He had to teach Emperor Liang a lesson! Otherwise, Emperor Liang would only intensify his attacks on him. If this continued, he would only be busy dealing with Emperor Liang. How would he plan for his future?
After leaving the teahouse, Liang Jingyao went straight to the capital. He found a tea stall on the street and sat down to drink tea until the Cheetah Army disguised as refugees entered the capital. He recognized that the leader of the team was a young eunuch. It seemed that Emperor Liang wanted to meet these people in person!
So Liang Jingyao turned around and found a secluded place, changed into refugee clothes, put a handful of ashes on his face, and then blended into the team.
However, he walked at the end of the team. Most of the people in front were disguised as Cheetah Soldiers, and the ones at the back were the real refugees. This was also done to prevent ambushes when entering the city and to protect the real refugees as much as possible!
The procession stopped at the Meridian Gate. Liang Jingyao's heart sank instantly. Wasn't the Meridian Gate a place for beheadings? What was Emperor Liang up to?
The common people were terrified when they saw so many refugees entering the city! They were afraid they would come and steal their food! They locked their doors and hid in their homes, not daring to go out. So this time, there were no onlookers at the Meridian Gate, only rows of guards on standby, and one or two hundred refugees!
In order to see clearly what was ahead, Liang Jingyao secretly squeezed forward until he could see Emperor Liang's face clearly, then he stopped.
At this moment, Emperor Liang sat high and mighty on the dragon throne, squinting his eyes as he scanned the rows of hungry refugees. He was still very worried! Clearly, the news he had received earlier said that most of the people in the west and north had no food to eat, and they had all left their homes to beg for a living. At the fastest, it would take at least ten days or half a month to reach the capital. How could they suddenly reach Yangming Town?
Liang Jingyao is in Yangming Town. Could it be that these refugees are really not Liang Jingyao's men?
Emperor Liang looked at Little Li and asked, "Have you ever asked where these refugees came from?"
Little Li Zi hunched over and replied, "Your Majesty, I've inquired and they say that Xili Town, Suxi Town, and Taiwu Town in Northern Frontier Prefecture have no harvest this year. The people there have all fled, and most of the people here are from there!"
Emperor Liang did not doubt Xiao Lizi's words, but he still did not believe the person in front of him, unless he was dead!
He raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Shoot!"
Liang Jingyao's pupils constricted. Sure enough, it had finally come! Fortunately, he had two plans. Even if he couldn't kill Emperor Liang today, he would at least cripple him!
Archers rushed over on horseback, their bows slowly drawn. The refugees huddled together in fear, holding their heads in their hands, and desperately shouted, "Sir, spare my life!"
But Emperor Liang, who was sitting at the top, was unmoved. He would rather kill the wrong person than let him go today!
Just when the archer's bow was fully drawn, Liang Jingyao picked up a piece of jade bone and blew it, and the one hundred cheetah soldiers who were ambushing around jumped up and killed the archer!
The Cheetah Army, disguised as refugees, protected one refugee each and escaped from the Meridian Gate first. This was agreed upon when the temple was destroyed, so everyone acted in unison and fled in different directions. The purpose was to disperse Emperor Liang's forces!
Emperor Liang was so angry that his forehead was about to explode. He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and cursed: "Liar! They are all a bunch of liars! They said they were refugees, but they were all pretending! Little Li, pass on my decree. All refugees in Dongsui are to be arrested and killed without mercy!"
Little Li replied, "Yes! I obey your orders!"
Liang Jingyao didn't leave. He drew his sword and slashed at Emperor Liang. "You bastard emperor! You take human life lightly. If you don't die, there will never be peace in the world!"
"Help! Help!" Emperor Liang had never studied any martial arts. When he saw the sharp sword coming at him, he was so scared that he grabbed Little Li Zi and blocked him in front of him.
Little Leo looked down and saw the sharp sword piercing his body, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He had only been a eunuch for a few days and thought that he would rise to a high position and have the hope of surpassing his master. He didn't expect to lose his life today!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how could you..." Before Little Leo could finish his words, he fell to the ground.
Liang Jingyao drew back his sword and continued to attack Emperor Liang, "You dog emperor, today is the day you die!"
Emperor Liang was so frightened by the sharp sword so close before his eyes that he pissed his pants and began to speak incoherently, "Kill! Kill!"
The evil spirit hidden in the dark flew out with a whoosh and directly blocked the sharp sword that was about to pierce Emperor Liang's eyebrows with his sword.
Liang Jingyao took several steps back, pressed his sword against the ground, and looked at Sha, "Sha, don't help the evil! If you help this lunatic, you won't end well!"
But Sha did not answer. He just listened to Emperor Liang's instructions, and each move became more ferocious than the last, beating Liang Jingyao so hard that he almost had no strength to fight back!
Liang Jingyao was puzzled. How could Sha improve so much in just a few days without seeing him? Ordinary martial arts manuals couldn't possibly achieve this. Could it be that Emperor Liang had found some magical elixir to boost his skills? Or perhaps some unique martial arts technique?
No matter what it is, if this continues, not only will I be in danger of killing Emperor Liang, but I will also be in danger!
I don’t want to make such a big fuss in vain!
Liang Jingyao blew the Jade Bone again. This was his unique way of communicating with the Cheetah Army. After hearing the order, the Cheetah Army at the Meridian Gate quickly killed the archers and all moved towards Liang Jingyao! The Cheetah Army who were protecting the refugees took them to a large courtyard to hide, then changed into Cheetah Army uniforms and quickly returned.
After a while, the Meridian Gate was surrounded by people again, this time they were all Cheetah Army. They protected Liang Jingyao in the middle, and the swords in their hands were all pointed at Sha and Emperor Liang!
A smug smile flashed across Liang Jingyao's eyes, and he shouted at Emperor Liang on the dragon throne: "You are a tyrant and unjust. Today I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
