"Since General Li has already led his troops here... there are foreigners causing chaos outside the city of Qizhou. Please mobilize the troops, kill the foreigners and save the people of Dajin!" Lu Gu gave the order coldly, but she seemed to realize that her tone was too cold, so she hurriedly added: "As long as General Li can make contributions, I will report it to the emperor..."

"Ugh!" General Li, who was opening the coffin, suddenly spat out a mouthful of saliva with a loud bang. The thick phlegm almost flew onto Lu Gu. The cleanliness-loving Lu Gu frowned and hurriedly took several steps back.

"Report my achievements to that old bastard who is obsessed with immortality?" General Li sneered disdainfully, "And then what? Promote my rank? Increase my salary by 1,800 taels of gold? Or give me a fief of a hundred hectares of barren land where no one lives?"

General Li shook his head and spat another mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground.

Not only General Li, the bearded general behind him, and dozens of deputy generals, lieutenants and other middle-level generals all spat heavily on the ground at the same time.

In the woods on both sides of the road, countless soldiers drew their swords, and archers pulled their strong bows and put on hard crossbows, locking onto Chu Tian and his group from a distance.

The soldiers who had circled on both sides had already circled behind Chu Tian and others. On the road a hundred feet behind them, two to three thousand soldiers were busy assembling defensive weapons such as deer horns, chevaux de frise, and mountain shields, and set up more than a dozen lines of defense on the narrow road.

What’s even more exaggerated is that they actually quickly set up a heavy crossbow for siege behind the deer horns, chevaux de frise and other objects.

"Open the coffin, General Li!" Lu Gu's voice changed.

The rebellion of foreign evil spirits has brought great harm to the city of Yizhou. The garrison at Fengyu Jiuchongguan is the largest, best-equipped and most powerful army on the ground of Yizhou.

If they also join in the rebellion, the damage caused by a well-trained army and the casualties to the common people will definitely be ten or even a hundred times more than that of the same number of Heavenly Ghost Cultists.

"You, want to rebel?" Lu Gu held the guqin in both hands and shouted at General Li.

"Rebellion? How can it be a rebellion?" General Li shook his head repeatedly. He laughed out loud and said, "It's not a rebellion, absolutely not!"

Taking a deep breath, General Li looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "How can this be considered a rebellion? I was once loyal to the Great Jin. I led a group of hard-working brothers to defend against the remnants of the wilderness at the Nine Passes of Wind and Rain. I fought with those wilderness barbarians for years and was covered in wounds!"

"We have made contributions, this is not a lie! We have made contributions to the Great Jin, really great contributions!" General Li said sternly: "But he didn't reward us for our contributions? How many years have we been wearing the title of general? Shouldn't he give us a title of general? Shouldn't he give our brothers a higher salary?"

When General Li roared, Sima Zhuifeng's face became paler and uglier. He slipped off his horse tremblingly and tried to escape.

But before he could take a step, more than a dozen lieutenants and captains around him roared at the same time, drew their weapons and pierced his body. More than a dozen horse-slashing swords and machetes chopped Sima Zhuifeng's body again and again, chopping him into a pool of blurred and messy flesh and blood.

"Sima Zhuifeng, tsk, the governor of Qizhou! He is smart. He saw that we brothers were resentful, so he bribed us with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and delicate girls!"

General Li grinned and laughed strangely: "If he is willing to give it, we are willing to accept it. Why should we be unhappy? However, he will never think of us brothers! Hehe!"

Lu Gu gritted her teeth and shouted at General Li: "Who did you join? The descendants of the Wilderness?"

"No, how is it possible? We killed so many of them!" General Li looked down at his hands, turning them over and over again: "I am greedy, lustful, and I like to chop off a few heads for fun! So, I often take my brothers into the wilderness to kill, burn, rape and plunder!"

"I know this is not a good thing. I also know that many people in the Wilderness Relics hate me to death. So, how could I possibly join those Wilderness barbarians?"

Chu Tian took two steps back. He turned around and looked at the soldiers who were blocking his way behind him, especially the crossbow that was giving him a headache.

"Lu Gu, right? Looking at your attire and your make-up, I know it's you!" General Li rubbed his hands vigorously, making a continuous harsh sound of metal rubbing against each other: "I've heard of your fame, although I've never seen you, because I have to act in front of people. I'm a garrison commander who strictly abides by the military law of the Great Jin Dynasty. I can't leave the station and enter the state capital without permission!"

After a few strange laughs, General Li said in a cold voice: "Do you know? I have mistaken those wild women for you countless times when I fucked them! Hehehe!"

An indescribable evil smile appeared on General Li's pointed face. Madness, greed, evil, filthiness, all the negative emotions in the world seemed to be found on his face.

Soldiers from all around kept surrounding them, and some archers climbed up the big trees on both sides of the road, locking onto Chu Tian and others from above.

"So, now I will answer your question. I am certainly not a rebel, nor am I a rebellion." General Li said confidently, "I am doing something that can rival the great achievements of the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. I will lead this group of brothers to purify this unfair world of the Great Jin Dynasty, cleanse this evil world, and let my brothers fight for glory and wealth on the sword!"

"Damn it!" Chu Tian couldn't help but curse when he heard what General Li said.

The commander of the Jin Dynasty stationed at the Fengyu Jiuchong Pass was actually a member of the Heavenly Ghost Cult!

Are you kidding me?

"Lu Gu, now I can tell everyone in the world the origin of my nickname, the Big Open Coffin! It doesn't mean that I killed so many people that every household in the wild remnant tribe opened their coffins to bury their dead, but... after the coffins are opened, what can you see?"

General Li's eyes suddenly turned pale green, and he screamed, "Of course, if we open the coffin, we will only see ghosts! Haha, the emperor of the Great Jin is unjust, the fate of the Great Jin will end, evil ghosts will be sent down from the sky to cleanse the world, and we will share the glory!"

The pupils of many generals, captains, and most of the soldiers behind General Li changed color.

Only the bearded general, some deputy generals, captains, and less than 30% of the soldiers were staring in amazement at the changes in their colleagues.

The bearded man let out a strange cry, then suddenly rushed out of the team, crawling and running towards Chu Tian.

He had just run less than ten feet away when General Li leapt into the air and pressed down hard on his back with his palm.

The bearded man was hit by General Li's palm, and his flesh and blood withered instantly. Only a bloody skeleton remained. It staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground.

"Boys, kill!" General Li put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly: "It's time to change the master of this world!"
