Chapter 566 Death is not far off!
What's going on?
Even Zhuiyu was taken aback!
He had no idea.
Those words hanging in the sky are all related to killing.
The fine silk armor they were wearing at that moment was Li Qingluo's most prized weapon creation in the past two years!
This thing is extremely expensive and requires a lot of manpower.
Therefore, even though Li Qinglu wrote a letter asking Li Jingchuan, who was now in Rongle County, to use his blacksmith shop to make them, it took almost half a year to make a total of ten sets!
This fine, soft armor is as thin as a cicada's wing.
Light as a feather.
However, it is also so hard that it cannot be penetrated by swords or spears.
When Li Qingluo first received it, she immediately tried it on herself.
You can't feel anything when you wear it.
With a weapon like a knife, it's impossible to pierce through.
It's a pity that these soft armors are a bit too small.
It can only protect the upper torso.
Moreover, the materials used to make it are extremely difficult to find, and Li Jingchuan will not be able to make more in a short period of time.
However, it's good enough for us now.
The ten "kill" characters currently hanging in the sky are all from top experts in the Night Slayer Sect who can hang themselves upside down.
They can not only hang themselves upside down, but also draw their bows and shoot arrows at the same time.
Furthermore, they can hide all their vulnerable areas behind their torso.
At least, arrows shot from below couldn't harm them in the slightest.
This is why the King of Qin's arrows could not hit those 'eagles' in the sky!
Not only that, the arrows that flew into the sky fell back down and pierced their own men vertically!
Meanwhile, the characters for "kill" in the sky continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows without ceasing.
In an instant, screams of agony erupted from below.
The King of Qin could only shout, "Everyone, spread out to the mountains and forests on both sides!"
"withdraw!"
"retreat!!"
If we retreat from the valley at this point, we will continue to be targeted by the archers hidden in the mountains.
Even if you stay in one place, you'll be riddled with bullets.
Only the mountains and forests on both sides can offer some refuge, where there might still be a chance of survival!
The King of Qin nearly ground his teeth to powder: "We've fallen into the trap of these traitors! I swear to fight to the death today!"
"Men, follow me up the mountain and capture the rebel leader!"
The King of Qin believed that these rebels were only a few in number.
First, get rid of those at the foot of the mountain, then avoid those overhead.
How many can be found in the mountains and forests?
With at least 1,500 men left, perhaps their only chance of survival is to charge back into the mountains, kill the archers, and seize the hilltop.
Moreover, the leader of this rebel group has not yet shown himself, and neither the Fourth Prince nor the Emperor of Chu has appeared.
Where else could they be?
Only someone on a mountain could have directed and planned this ambush.
Now, they must break the deadlock to avoid falling into such a passive situation again!
However, to go up the mountain, one must abandon the horse.
The King of Qin rushed into the woods, jumped off his horse first, and, with his sword in hand, quickly charged up the mountain under cover.
Zhuiyu reached out to stop him.
They did not send anyone to continue the pursuit.
He looked up at the sky and nodded heavily at the ten characters for "kill".
After exchanging a few hand gestures, Zhuiyu waved and said, "Back to the Imperial Mausoleum!"
"Flank from behind!"
"Everyone, lead your horses and proceed quietly."
This horse-leading refers to the horse abandoned by the Qin King's troops.
Then, Zhuiyu led his men to quickly evacuate from the valley entrance.
After only a pile of corpses remained on the spot, a rustling sound came from the mountain.
It was like a raging storm, whipping wildly through the woods.
Suddenly, the King of Qin, who had not yet emerged from the forest, was the first to smell the strange odor.
"etc!"
"It's not just the taste, but also the sound."
Listen!
The crackling sound rang out loudly with each slowed footstep.
Soon, someone noticed that a fire was rising from the mountain and heading this way—
Not just ahead.
Fires raged on both the left and right sides!
And they attacked them with lightning speed!
By the time the King of Qin realized all this, it was too late.
He shouted in terror, "Quick! Get down the mountain!"
"Everyone, get down the mountain immediately!"
"It's fire! They've set fire to burn us alive!"
The soldiers shouted in terror and turned to run wildly down the mountain.
The King of Qin turned around, intending to descend the mountain, but he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
Once the guards pulled him up, the soldiers behind him had already scattered and were all running wildly down the mountain.
Looking at this scene, the King of Qin turned pale and murmured, "I've lost... I've lost..."
The morale of the troops has collapsed.
How else can we win?
The guards shouted angrily, "Come back!! All of you, get back here!!"
However, no one wanted to be burned alive.
In the blink of an eye, these soldiers had all run several hundred steps.
The dozen or so guards around the King of Qin angrily grabbed their bows and arrows and shot them away.
After several were shot dead, the King of Qin raised his hand to stop them, saying, "That's enough!"
"Is this a dead end, and we still want them to come and face it with us?"
Royal Guard: "A bunch of useless trash!!"
"Your Highness, what do we do now?"
Should we retreat too?
Another person said, "What else can we do but retreat? Charge into the fire and die together?"
"These damned traitors are too ruthless!"
"Today was clearly a series of traps set for us. Your Highness, we may have already fallen completely into their conspiracy!"
"If I catch them, I will tear them to pieces!"
The King of Qin closed his eyes tightly.
The smoke drifting in made him cough violently.
"I'm afraid these traps were already set up against me from the moment the Fourth Prince was kidnapped."
The fire was getting closer and closer.
The King of Qin was already feeling his legs give way.
His guards urged him urgently, "Your Highness, let's go!"
"It's Your Highness, we should leave now!"
The King of Qin thought of Zongzheng Wuxie, of his decades of meticulous planning, and of how all his efforts had come to naught. He vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Walk……"
"Walk!"
Ultimately, she still wanted to save her own life.
However, just as he took a step, a slow, disdainful voice came from above.
"King of Qin."
Where do you want to go?
After everyone had died on the ground, the King of Qin looked at the group of people who had appeared before him with a face full of fear.
Who exactly are you?
Duan Rongshi, along with Leng Dian, Qing Yangzi, and a dozen or so guards from the Prince Su's residence, had been waiting there for some time.
After killing all the guards in the Prince of Qin's mansion.
Duan Rongshi then pulled off the mask on his face.
"King of Qin, you have lost."
Upon seeing his face clearly, the King of Qin was naturally shocked: "You are the newly promoted General of the Valiant Cavalry, Li Wu?"
"That merchant's son-in-law!"
"It was you!?"
"You audacious scoundrel! You're the one who kidnapped His Majesty and the Fourth Prince!?"
"Are you planning a rebellion!?"
Suppressing his fear, the King of Qin angrily displayed his imperial power.
All he got in return was a cold laugh from Duan Rongshi.
Qingyangzi and the others shook their heads, staring coldly at the King of Qin.
The King of Qin seemed to have been humiliated, yet he couldn't understand why these people were sneering.
Suddenly he realized something was wrong.
He quickly turned his head to look around.
Where is the raging fire that was just about to reach us?
Clearly, there was nothing there!
Only some smoke drifted through the woods.
But we didn't even see a trace of fire!
"No, this, how is this possible?"
"Wasn't it a big fire?"
"Weren't you going to burn us alive?"
"How could all of this be fake?"
"Could it be that there was no fire at all, and no fire attack?"
"What on earth is going on!?"
The King of Qin could no longer maintain his composure; his face contorted with rage, as if he were about to go mad.
Duan Rongshi: "Your old flame, Zuliya, doesn't she know this trick?"
"Miao witchcraft, illusions."
"If you want to create some kind of illusion, add something to the smoke that kills the Gu worms."
"It's just that the flames in the brazier are a bit bigger."
"Your men have been completely routed."
"Arrest him."
"It's time to take him to meet the Chu Emperor and the Fourth Prince."
Over the years, in order to seize power, the King of Qin used Miao witchcraft to kill countless innocent lives.
He harmed countless good ministers who were detrimental to him.
They even reached their hands onto the main beam.
To obtain the Pei family's military treatise, they arranged for Zuliya to collude with the Crown Prince and Qinyu.
The entire beam was churned up and became completely muddy.
Even because of Zuliya's wickedness, Butterfly died tragically, and almost turned the entire Wanjia Village into bloodthirsty madmen.
More importantly, the poison concocted by Zuliya caused Li Qingluo a great deal of suffering.
The person behind Zuliya was the King of Qin.
Upon hearing Duan Rong mention Zuliya, the King of Qin's expression changed drastically.
He rushed out with his sword, intending to resist, but Leng Dian stepped forward and personally grabbed his arm.
"Behave yourself!"
"If your death day hadn't yet arrived, would you still be able to act so arrogantly in front of my master?"
"Old man, wash your neck clean!"
"Your death is not far off."
The King of Qin was utterly powerless to resist them.
He could only roar helplessly, "Who exactly are you people?"
"Li Wu, how do you know about Zuliya?"
"Who exactly are you—"
Where exactly is Zulia now?
"What's wrong with her?"
“Zulya—”
The King of Qin was taken up the mountain.
Qingyangzi watched his retreating figure and said, "It seems he still doesn't know about Zuliya's death."
"Zongzheng Wuheng didn't even tell him."
Duan Rongshi's deep eyes darkened slightly.
At the mountaintop, Li Qingluo had been exposed to the wind for most of the day.
Because she used witchcraft, she is currently sitting cross-legged, regulating her internal energy.
Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes and looked up.
Sha Yi strode over: "Miss, everything is ready."
Li Qingluo: "Bring the Chu Emperor up here."
When the King of Qin arrived, Zongzheng Wuxie had already been hung from a crooked tree on the mountaintop.
Jinhua stood under the tree, her face frosty.
Ado was sharpening a knife on the side.
The Chu Emperor was bound hand and foot, gagged, and left to sit behind a rock, guarded by two men named Sha San and Sha Si.
"Four--"
The King of Qin opened his mouth, intending to first call out to Zongzheng Wuxie.
Upon seeing the Emperor of Chu, he turned and exclaimed urgently, "Your Majesty!"
"Your Highness!"
"You traitors!!"
"How dare you commit the heinous crimes of murdering the king and harming the princes!"
"Now you've even brought me here bound, what exactly do you intend to do?!"
Li Qinglu, dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit and with her hair tied up in a high bun, stood up.
She walked forward with her hands behind her back.
What is your intention?
"Don't worry, I'll make sure all three of you die knowing why."
