In the side hall of Yang Mansion, Guan Ya heard someone wanted to see her. Guan Ya's eyes lit up. Since Xie Lingxi met her, everyone who came to Yang Mansion to ask for help was a teammate.
So she immediately said, "Take it to the side hall."
The maid left in response. Guan Ya looked at the three women in the room and said happily, "Yuan Shi is here. Stop killing the palace master and throw away the scroll. Xiao Yuan stops meditating. Xie Lingxi is the first to run out of the room."
Guan Ya and the other three, with their skirts fluttering, went to the side hall together to wait. Three minutes later, the palace maid led the two of them to the side hall.
Seeing that it was a middle-aged eunuch with gray hair and a burly figure, the four girls were disappointed. Then Guan Ya noticed the small trumpet hanging around his waist.
"Yuanshi?" Guan Ya asked tentatively.
The Yin Corpse took off the trumpet and raised it high like Princess Yin Yao, "My dear ladies, it feels like a long time since we last met. Do you miss me?"
Seeing that he didn't dare to get close to her in front of Xiaoyuan and the Palace Master, Guan Ya couldn't help but glare at him and sneered: "Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem, and you still go to brothels after leaving the palace. Why do you need us, the weak and vulnerable, to miss you?"
The corpse remained calm and said, "I was just out collecting materials to increase my knowledge."
"How will the results of collecting materials be divided?" The Palace Master Zhisha said calmly, "Lingxi, close the door, and let everyone listen to your Majesty's results of collecting materials."
"Why are all the people so hostile to me when I go to the brothel?" Zhang Yuanqing said, "Everyone should explain their main and side quests first."
After a conversation, Zhang Yuanqing learned that Guan Ya's main mission was to help the Yang family gain the trust of the emperor.
Side quest: Find the emperor who has fallen into exile among the people.
This was the main quest that was activated after the Zheng family was discovered to be rebelling the day before yesterday and the emperor escaped from the Huangxin Palace.
The main mission of the Zhisha Palace has not changed. The side mission is to protect the emperor for 72 hours, which has been completed. The current side mission is to find the spies planted by the Northern Dynasty in the capital.
Xie Lingxi's copy progress is stuck at the side quest, and the main quest has not changed, and the same is true for Xiaoyuan.
After listening to this, Zhang Yuanqing sighed and said, "Sister Guan Ya, I hope you can write a letter to the front line and ask Fu Qingyang if there is any way to switch sides."
Members' camps are different and conflict with each other, and no mission can be completed without changing camps.
Guan Ya knew what he said, looked at Xiao Yuanzhe and said, "I have been to Linxia."
He immediately relayed Fu Qingyang's reply to Zhang Yuanqing.
Demon Eye surrendered to the Southern Dynasty in front of all the soldiers and declared his loyalty to Fu Qingyang, thus announcing the change of the core of the camp.
Well, you also need to have enough credibility. Fu Qingyang is the supreme commander of the Nanchao garrison, and he can make the decision.
I can use my status as the emperor to issue a notice to announce that Lady Wan, Lady Ya, and Wang Geji have abandoned their dark ways and joined the light, and announce it to the world. But I have to wait for the letter. Zhang Yuanqing put away his thoughts and said, "I understand."
"Let's talk about the dungeon next. I'll first tell you about my recent experiences."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan, Guan Ya, Xie Lingxi and the Palace Master Zhisha started talking about their experiences and observations during this period of time.
After listening to Guan Ya's operation of putting up a sign outside the shop, Brother Hongji complained: "Have you ever considered the situation where the team members cannot read traditional Chinese characters?"
Outside the shop, the Palace Master Zhisha laughed and said, "Everyone can read except you."
You bastard, Brother Hongji only dared to curse in his heart. Zhang Yuanqing frowned and said solemnly, "Fu Qingyang can hold out for half a month at most, and ten days at least. It's been two days now. The worst case scenario is that the front-line army will retreat to the capital in five days. Before that, we must control the capital so that we can work together to fight against the Northern Dynasty army."
Brother Red Chicken sighed: "We don't have much time left. Yuanshi plans to show up at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, expose the Zheng family's conspiracy, and let everyone know that the Zheng family is rebelling."
Guan Ya's expression changed slightly: "No!"
"Why?" Everyone looked at her.
Guan Ya said with a gloomy face: "The last 50,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Dynasty are all on the front line. The only elite soldiers left in the monarch are the city defense army and the Imperial City Bureau. The city defense army has 30,000 soldiers, 20,000 of which are in the hands of the Zheng family. The Imperial City Bureau has 8,000 soldiers, more than half of whom are from the Zheng family. If you expose the Zheng family in public during the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, you will force them to rebel. What are your chances of winning? Don't forget to move. You are a tyrant. Once the Zheng family rebels, except for the Yang family and the royal family who will help you, most of the dignitaries will choose to wait and see, and the people may even support the Zheng family. In addition, there is also the master-level master, the national teacher, who supports the Zheng family. The national teacher has a strong reputation among the people."
These words made everyone feel cold.
Brother Red Chicken made a formatted statement: "What should we do then?"
Zhang Yuanqing sat stiffly, holding up his trumpet and saying, "I must calm down the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, so that I can win the support of some people."
"What Sister Guan Ya said makes sense. Ke Feng should not expose the Zheng family first, but should let them go and force them into a desperate situation, which will be difficult to deal with."
"Even if we can finally put down the rebellion, the capital will be badly damaged. When the Northern Dynasty army approaches, we will definitely lose. Tsk, this instance is a bit difficult."
The Palace Master of Stop Killing frowned and said, "Once you show up, there will be no turning back. If you don't expose the Zheng family's rebellion, you will just have to wait for the endless assassinations from the Zheng family."
Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a few seconds. "It seems we need to find a safe shelter."
Guan Ya shook her head: "There is no such place in the dungeon! Well, if you return to the palace, you will be trapped. If you hide in the Yang family, they will not agree. It is unreasonable for the emperor to live in the house of a minister. On the other hand, if the Zheng family takes the risk and gathers experts to besiege the Yang family, with the power of the Zheng family, the Yang family will be wiped out. And you did not expose the rebellion of the Zheng family, so there will be no resistance to the Zheng family's mobilization of the city defense army and the imperial city army."
Xie Lingxi and Xiaoyuan also actively participated in the discussion.
The more they frowned, the more they felt that the dungeon was too difficult and they couldn't figure out a strategy to complete it.
Gain the hearts of the people, appease the Zheng family, obtain an absolutely safe shelter before being promoted to the master, and accumulate strength to compete with the Zheng family.
Zhang Yuanqing quickly summarized the steps of the strategy, but he had not yet figured out how to proceed with each step.
"I have no idea what to do because there is too little information," Zhang Yuanqing pinched his brows.
"Sister Guan Ya, when will the ceremony of offering sacrifice to the heaven be held?" Guan Ya replied: "The ceremony of offering sacrifice to the heaven was opposed by the ministers in the court. Yesterday, they listened to my father's words and blocked the central government to make speeches and curse. However, by dusk, the opposition was suppressed. My father told me that it will be held in two days if nothing unexpected happens."
Yang Zheng is a member of the Cabinet, and his power is second only to Zheng Wenhan. He has the right to inquire about and interfere in all political affairs, big or small, and he can get first-hand information.
"As for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..." Zhang Yuanqing pinched his brows and echoed Hong: "Brother Hongji, we don't have much time left."
Suddenly, a starlight rose in the spacious side hall. In the center of the starlight, a woman in Tai Chi robes appeared and looked at everyone with dull pupils.
Brother Hongji was startled and instinctively jumped back to avoid the woman, having a slight stress reaction to her appearance.
The expressionless corpse quickly raised the trumpet and said, "This is the disciple of the national teacher."
The woman wearing a Taoist bag took off the brocade bag at her waist, took out a square piece of pitch-black cloth from it, and shook the cloth open with a "rustling" sound.
It disappeared in an instant, and a curtain fell outside the side hall, blocking out the sunlight and plunging the hall into darkness.
Then, the woman in Taoist robe went out for a night stroll and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Be careful of attacks." Zhang Yuanqing held up the loudspeaker. "Lingxi, Xiaoyuan, come closer to me, open the gang warehouse, and get defensive props."
Xie Lingxi hurriedly did as he was told.
Xiao Yuan took out the clay pot and quickly opened the lid. There was a constant buzzing sound, and large patches of black clouds rushed into the pot mouth. A dense swarm of insects rushed in from all directions with everyone as the core.
The swarm of insects in the front left seemed to have hit something invisible, and their eyes fell and froze.
Seeing this, Brother Red Chicken strode forward, compressed the flames he spewed out into a flaming spear, and stabbed hard at the target.
The flaming Chang spear was held by a porcelain-white hand, and a powerful Yin energy gushed out from the palm, instantly extinguishing the flaming Chang spear.
The spreading Yin Qi froze Red Chicken Brother's arms and shoulders, and a layer of white frost formed on his clothes.
A shadowy woman in a Taoist robe appeared and kicked Brother Red Chicken in the chest.
Brother Red Chicken suddenly flew backwards like a cannonball, smashing the tables and chairs.
At this moment, the figure of the Palace Master of Stopping Killing appeared in the empty pupils of the Taoist robe woman.
The pupils of the Palace Master of Stop Killing turned into whirlpools, and he sang a vague ballad. The song seemed to have the power to soothe people, and everyone present was drowsy.
The woman in the Taoist robe suddenly became quiet, her eyelids trembling, and she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, a dark-blue female face emerged from her face, with a ferocious expression and a scream.
The Palace Master of Stopping Killing pressed the Taiyang blood point hard, and his head felt as if hit by a bullet. He had a splitting headache and the singing voice disappeared instantly.
This was not a mental attack by a sorcerer, but a purely brutal mental attack.
The illusory woman's face darkened, and the woman in Taoist robes stabbed the palace master in the chest to stop the killing.
The tip of the knife pierced through the back, and blood was dripping.
The Palace Master completely ignored the fatal attack that pierced his heart. He put on a silk glove on his right hand at some point, and pierced the opponent's chest with his palm like a knife.
The vitality and healing power of the Hongluan star official are stronger than those of the Night Wandering God of the same level. He is not afraid of fighting with injury for injury. When he reaches the dominant level of Sima Ming, his blood is equivalent to the source of life for disease.
"boom"!
The two sides separated decisively.
Flames rose, and Brother Red Chicken rushed towards the woman in Taoist robes like a torch with flames burning in his hand.
At the same time, the Yin corpse Zhang Yuanqing rushed out from behind the palace master and cooperated with Brother Hongji to attack the woman at close range.
Bang bang bang.
The violent energy from the fists and feet during the exchange of blows was so strong that it shook the door frame, causing it to make a loud noise.
The woman in Taoist robe was no match for the combined forces and disappeared as starlight, then she wandered around at night hiding her body.
At this time, most of the insect swarm in the hall were killed or injured in the battle between several people, and could no longer "search" the enemy in an all-round manner.
The woman in Taoist robes then took the opportunity to get close to Xiaoyuan, swung the short knife in her hand, and attacked her chest.
Guan Ya, wearing a heavy long skirt, moved as fast as a rabbit. She raised her leg high and kicked the opponent's wrist, and her ankle passed through the handle of the knife.
There is no real feeling!
Illusion?
Guan Ya was shocked. Although she was a scout and her insight skill was good at countering illusions, she was still caught by the opponent due to her level suppression.
puff!
The sound of a knife piercing flesh was heard, and the tip of the knife pierced out of Guan Ya's chest.
The woman in Taoist robe appeared behind Guan Ya. Guan Ya's pupils shrank slightly. She stood still and stabbed with her sword.
The sharp sword energy pierced through the abdomen of the woman in Taoist robe on the spot. She pushed the opponent back with an elbow and covered her chest with her hands.
The other hand pointed the sword forward and shot out sword energy, making a sharp whistling sound.
The woman in Taoist robes went out to fight at night and disappeared without a trace.
When Brother Hongji saw his teammates in the rear being attacked, he knelt on one knee without hesitation, with his palms pressed against the ground. Two tongues of fire moved on the ground, surrounding the three women and forming a wall of fire.
Guan Ya took out the life essence and injected it while staring at the flames.
At this moment, she felt the flames on the left side become disturbed, as if someone jumped over, so Guan Ya turned around without hesitation.
"puff!"
Shoot sword energy towards the right.
The sword energy pierced through the flesh, bringing out blood, and the woman in Taoist robes appeared on the right.
The fire disturbance just now was an illusion.
After the battle just now, Guan Ya understood the situation of the woman in Taoist robe. Her face was dull and her pupils were dilated. It was obvious that she was being controlled or lacked intelligence.
Such an opponent has abilities that change with the times, and a monotonous and repetitive fighting style.
Just now he used an illusion to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and now he must do so again. This is the professional quality of a scout.
Xie Lingxi finally found a certain item in the gang's warehouse, and quickly took it out and said loudly: "In the name of the Knight, I declare that no escape techniques may be used in this battle."
The bronze medal in his hand flashed yellow light, breaking the rules and restricting the escape technique.
Xiao Yuan, who had been prepared for a long time, took out a stone tablet with a stern face and threw it at the other party's feet. The stone tablet glowed with an earthy yellow light, and a powerful gravity within a three-meter radius descended, pressing on the shoulders of the Taoist woman like a mountain, binding her.
Under the heavy pressure, weapons condensed by spiritual power would also be affected. Guan Ya and Brother Hongji took out their swords and knives respectively, while Zhisha Palace Master took out a bronze thorn.
The three men rushed into the area covered by the stone tablet and attacked the woman in Taoist robes.
At this time, the empty pupils of the Taoist woman regained their brightness. Seeing this scene, she was confused at first, then her face darkened, and she exhaled a strong yin energy.
Three weapons stabbed her, but were stopped by a powerful force only half an inch into her body.
Then the woman in Taoist robe grabbed a sword ball emitting white light from the void.
Everyone was stunned when seeing this scene!
