Chapter 190 The blessing of the Nine-headed Insect in Ziwei Imperial City!
Yang Qing lowered his head and heard footsteps approaching.
Guo Wenyi and Zhao Congwen came over with a bloody smell. Minister Zhao held the knife, and Xiang Siren was beheaded. At this time, the tip of the knife was pointing downwards, and blood was dripping like tears.
Yang Qing's heart was in his throat.
Guo Lao Er stretched out his hand, as if to pull his hair, and Zhao Shilang also stretched out his hand, as if to wipe the back of his neck.
"Master, I, Yang, know that I have committed grave sins. I kneel down and beg to be your vanguard. I will sacrifice my life for you, without hesitation!"
He hunched over slightly, and his voice was quick and trembling.
Guo Laoer and Zhao Congwen stood on his left and right, put their hands under his armpits and helped him up.
"General Yang, there's no need to panic. Now that you've come to your senses, the Heavenly Master will naturally give you a chance."
Guo Wenyi's tone was quite friendly: "However, you are a criminal, so please hand over the troops to General Dugu."
How could Yang Qing dare to object: "Yes!"
Dugu Feng exchanged glances with Zhou Yi, and immediately led his men towards the military formation of Yang Qing and Xiang Siren.
Although he is not a good general at leading troops, he is familiar to everyone.
Yang Qing surrendered voluntarily, and Dugu Feng had the prestige of being the chief of the imperial guards and the leader of a clan, so there was no chaos in the army. Dugu Feng replaced all the young generals under Yang Qing and arranged all of them with his own and the seven nobles' men.
The other two armies of the Cavalry Force were brought under his command.
Not only were the losses in this battle eliminated, but thousands of manpower were also added.
Dugu Feng had never expected such an unexpected success.
Yang Qing cooperated very well, so Guo Wenyi and Zhao Congwen let him go.
Zhou Yi glanced around and saw that the situation in Rong Mansion was already decided.
The major forces did have a lot of manpower, but unfortunately they were not united and had lost their backbone. As soon as Yang Qing's main force surrendered, they hurriedly fled in all directions.
The remaining troops of Li Mi were being hunted down by Liu Heita, while Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu's men fled together. Ba Fenghan finally found an easy target and started killing them with great enthusiasm.
Zhou Yi took a step closer to Yang Qing and asked, "Is Wang Shichong in Ziwei Palace?"
What he said just now was just polite talk, Yang Qing didn't dare to say anything nonsense at the moment:
"Yes, but I don't know if it's me."
At this time, no matter whether he is the real one or not, he can be used as the real one in public.
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. Yang Qing, who was standing beside him, saw his cold expression and quickly lowered his head.
Wang Shichong, oh Wang Shichong, why don’t you do something else but provoke the Heavenly Master?
Tianshi just prepared a birthday banquet for Boss Rong.
Now, your blessings are coming.
"What did he say to you?"
Yang Qing shuddered, but still told the truth: "Wang Shichong asked Xiang Siren and I to get rid of you."
Guo Laoer, who was standing by, happened to hear this and almost laughed out loud.
Yang Qing continued:
"He said that the Heavenly Master has many enemies, and someone will definitely take action. We will be responsible for surrounding and killing them and cutting off their retreat. Once we succeed, and you are both defeated, we will use the situation to wipe out the hostile forces related to Li Mi, the Dugu family, and the Seven Nobles."
"Wang Shichong will lead a large army to support us after he captures Ziwei Palace."
"This is also to deal with Li Mi."
"The two of them had already colluded to deal with the Heavenly Master, but they were also plotting against each other."
"Li Mi has been sending troops into the Eastern Capital and stationing them in Yanshi. If chaos breaks out in the Eastern Capital, he will surely attack the city from both inside and outside. Wang Shichong will take advantage of this tactic and strike Li Mi with lightning speed. He will then counterattack Xingyang, capture Hulao Pass, and recapture the granary."
"Wang Shichong not only wanted to occupy the Eastern Capital alone, but also wanted to eliminate Li Mi and become the hegemon of the Central Plains."
"only"
Yang Qing looked at the corpse in the Rong Mansion and said, "Wang Shichong still greatly underestimated the Heavenly Master's methods. What happened in the Rong Mansion was beyond his imagination."
After hearing what he said, Zhou Yi suddenly became alert.
This situation today is quite strange.
Why didn't the people of the Great Ming Sect take any action?
He had attacked Wang Shichong's residence several times, but the Great Master did not take action at that time, perhaps because he was waiting for the opportunity to kill him.
This is clearly a great opportunity, but neither Dazun nor Shanmu showed up.
This is really abnormal.
His mind raced, he thought of Wang Shichong and then of Li Mi.
He first ordered Guo Wenyi and others to quickly integrate the manpower, and then said to Yang Qing: "Let's go to Ziwei Palace, you come and help me with something."
"yes!"
Yang Qing agreed directly without even asking what it was about.
With Yang Qing's cooperation, Dugu Feng and his men were able to reorganize their troops more quickly, and they also began to arrange people to handle the aftermath.
After Zhou Yi had a brief conversation with Taoist Mu and Taoist Crow, he took a deep breath and prepared to set off.
At this time, Bai Cong'an, the deputy leader of the Luoyang Gang, came over on his own initiative.
"Tianshi."
Bai Cong'an bowed in greeting and then introduced himself.
Zhou Yi looked at the short man in front of him, who was about forty years old.
"I killed your gang leader. Are you here to seek revenge?"
“I dare not!”
Bai Cong'an was startled, shook his head and waved his hands, and said hurriedly:
"Since the death of the previous leader, Shangguan Long, Rong Fengxiang has become the leader of our Luoyang Gang. However, his proposal for the Luoyang Gang to join in the siege of the Heavenly Master was privately rejected by several elders."
"Our gang has always been clear about our grudges. We have no hatred towards the Heavenly Master. Besides, no one dares to provoke a figure like you."
He said this in a nice way, but put the blame on Rong Fengxiang.
Zhou Yi did not investigate further. Among those who surrounded and attacked him today, there was indeed no master from the Luoyang Gang.
"Boss Bai, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Cong'an bowed again: "Our gang is willing to serve the Heavenly Master."
When the Luoyang Gang arrived, Zhou Yi was thinking about the lack of manpower, so he said to Bai Cong'an:
"You will be the leader of the Luoyang Gang from now on."
"yes!"
"By the way, who killed Shangguan Long?"
The previous gang leader died not long ago, and Bai Cong'an had a deep impression of him. When he talked about this, his facial muscles were slightly tense.
"We don't know the murderer, and it might not even be someone else who did it."
"oh?"
Bai Cong'an frowned. "The body of Gang Leader Shangguan is withered, his arms are just skin and bones, and his pupils are bloodshot. It doesn't look like he was murdered. It's more like he died from practicing martial arts and going insane."
"I remember that for a while, he often stayed at home for three to five days, practicing martial arts behind closed doors. The elders in the gang noticed that he was not in good spirits and warned him."
"After Gang Leader Shangguan died, a maid in the mansion saw a dark shadow dancing in the candlelight at night, and that's when she announced to the public that the gang leader had been murdered."
Zhou Yi was curious and wanted to see Shangguan Long's body.
Because Shangguan Long’s identity is not simple.
On the surface, he is the leader of the Luoyang Gang, but in fact he is a collaborator sent by the Daming Zunjiao to the Yingui Sect.
But after a long time, Shangguan Long had already rotted even though he was not burned to ashes.
Zhou Yi called Zhao Congwen and gave him some instructions, asking him to negotiate with Bai Cong'an and make good use of the manpower of the Luoyang Gang.
Dugu Feng was ready and divided the general formation into two groups.
The latter group was led by Guo Wenyi, and the former group consisted of elite soldiers who were not injured. They followed Zhou Yi, Dugu Feng, and Yang Qing to Ziwei Palace as quickly as possible.
As soon as they left, Xue Wanche and Feng Li were confused.
Xue Wanche's breathing became slightly rapid, and he discovered something was wrong.
Worried that he had seen it wrong, he turned away from Feng Li and asked Li Shimin for confirmation.
"Second Master, isn't the Dugu Clan's attitude a bit strange? They don't seem to be fighting with Wang Shichong for the sake of Emperor Huangtai."
Li Shimin sighed lightly.
He asked in return: "Don't you know the temperament of the Dugu clan leader?"
Xue Wanche thought about it carefully.
Yes, how could Dugu Feng be so obedient to others?
When the birthday banquet at Rong Mansion started, he was still pretending, but the layout of this place was fixed, so the old man stopped pretending.
On the surface, the army was in charge of him, the general manager.
In fact, he has completely obeyed the orders of the Heavenly Master.
It's unnecessary to ask this question. Since Dugu Feng is leaning towards the Heavenly Master and obeying his orders, is there any need to ask about the Dugu clan's attitude?
You must know that Dugu Feng has a very close relationship with the head of his family, Li Yuan. How could he stab him in the back without making any noise?
The old lady also has a good relationship with the head of the family.
Regarding the friendship between the two families, even if the Taoist priest cured the old lady's asthma, it would be impossible for the Dugu clan to completely side with him.
The situation in the Rong Mansion was beyond expectations, and even the good ally Dugu family encountered problems.
Could it be that the eldest son has been trying to catch the moon in the water?
This ironic fact made the two of them feel uneasy.
Feng Li said: "Now Wang Shichong's trusted general Yang Qing has also chosen to surrender, plus the support of the Seven Nobles, if Wang Shichong is captured..."
He said in horror:
"Doesn't that mean he will take control of the Eastern Capital?!"
As he spoke, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Feng Li's forehead.
If the Eastern Capital is occupied by the Jianghuai forces and he can also blockade Bashu and Hanzhong, something big is going to happen.
Xue Wanche asked in panic: "What can we do?"
Although he worked for the eldest son, he was well aware of the wisdom of the second son.
At this time, he looked at Li Shimin and asked him for advice.
Before Erfeng could speak, Zhangsun Wugou took over Xue Wanche's words: "It's best not to do anything."
This is not Chang'an.
The Li family wanted to get involved, and their greatest hope lay in the Holy Land and the Dugu family.
Given the current situation, it would be a luxury to act rashly and hope to leave Dongdu alive.
Even the Luoyang Gang, whose leader was beheaded, became the Heavenly Master's men. They had dense spies in the Eastern Capital and became the Heavenly Master's minions.
Looking around, the only one we can rely on is the Holy Land.
However, the two representatives of the holy land were killed by a shadow assassin. Feng Li and Xue Wanche could never have imagined that when they entered the city to attend the birthday banquet with a good mood, what they were waiting for was one cruel truth after another that hit them hard.
Li Shimin looked at the corpses of Lin Chaoan, Huyan Jin, Murong Fuyun and others.
I have some plans in mind.
"Let's go and take a look at Ziwei Palace."
Zhangsun Wugou and Yuchi Jingde followed him, Xue Wanche and Feng Li hesitated for a moment, then followed.
…
The autumn wind is bleak, rippling the Luo River in the city.
Cross the outer city to the south, cross the Tianjin Bridge, and leave Dingding Gate behind.
Ahead is Tianjie Avenue, which is lined with cherry trees and shops. If it is spring, you can see flying petals like snow, a prosperous scene.
Or perhaps the autumn wind was too strong, causing the shop owners on both sides to insert the door panels and close the doors.
The timid ones had already fled far away, while those who loved to watch the fun squeezed their eyes through the cracks in the doors and windows, and saw team after team of people rushing towards the south of Ziwei Palace.
“Bang, bang, bang~!”
The horses' hooves crushed the autumn wind, accompanied by the neighing of horses, and many soldiers shouted and advanced.
There were really a lot of people there.
There is no end in sight, and no sound of footsteps can be heard.
The people on the roadside heard it clearly.
It turned out that there was a traitor hiding around Emperor Huangtai, and Duke Zheng Guowang Shichong led the army to defend the king.
No one believed this nonsense, and of course, no one dared to stand in Wang Shichong's way.
Yang Gongqing, Zhang Zhenzhou, Chen Changlin, Lang Feng, Song Mengqiu, Tian Zan. One general after another, under the orders of Wang Shichong, were leading their troops to attack Yingtian Gate.
This battle was quite brutal.
The height of the imperial city is far less than the magnificent outer wall of more than 40 zhang, and is only about 5 zhang.
For the masters in the army, it only takes two steps.
However, Yingtian Gate could not be captured for a long time.
"Duke, the main force of the Imperial Guards is here, and there are also reinforcements brought by Huangfu Wuyi, Lu Chu, and Sha Tiannan."
Song Mengqiu was wearing armor and looked solemnly at the city wall.
The situation was beyond expectations.
The absolute main force of the Dugu clan has gathered in the imperial city, and they have so many helpers.
According to common sense, these people should be divided into two groups and sent to Rong Mansion.
Song Mengqiu turned to look at the tall and burly man beside him. He was still wearing a dark brocade robe with a gold ribbon around his waist.
At this moment, his eyes were sinister and he looked at the city wall coldly.
Wang Shichong was guarded by hundreds of personal soldiers with long breaths, all of whom were masters of the army.
Wang Shichong said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"The Duke, the Duke."
Song Mengqiu shouted twice again, but Wang Shichong still did not respond.
Lang Feng, who had just finished a round of fighting, could no longer bear to watch and quickly suggested, "Duke, please give the order immediately. We should have the experts from the Wuwei Battalion collectively storm the tower. We cannot delay here."
"yes!"
"That fellow Li Mi may attack at any time. We must seize the imperial city as soon as possible."
These generals had reminded him more than once or twice, but Wang Shichong seemed to be confused and ignored their strategies.
In terms of numbers, even if the Dugu clan had reinforcements, they would still be several times larger than the defenders.
But no matter how many people there are, they cannot spread out to attack the city wall.
If you are not in a hurry, it is okay to take your time.
But we must not drag our feet at this moment.
Otherwise, let alone defeating Li Mi, he would probably suffer from both ends.
How could Wang Shichong not understand such a simple truth with his calculations?
"Don't panic."
Wang Shichong finally spoke and gave his reason: "Dugu Feng went to the Rong Mansion for a banquet. The imperial guards are all here. He only has a small group of people. Yang Qing and Xiang Siren will definitely be able to capture him."
"Then I can use Dugu Peak to force them to open the gates. I can capture the Imperial City with minimal losses and take over the Imperial Guards."
When the generals heard him think this, they felt anxious, but they had no choice but to obey his orders.
Several rounds of fighting went on between the two sides.
Wang Shichong was very strange. His attention didn't seem to be on the city wall. He kept looking around as if he was looking for something.
Unfortunately, he never got anything.
Another stick of incense passed, and the two generals Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou attacked the city together, but were defeated by Huangfu Wuyi and Lu Chu.
They attacked from high to low, and their advantage was obvious.
And unlike Wang Shichong, the elite of the imperial guards were always displayed in public.
"What on earth does the Duke think?"
Yang Gongqing pulled out a feather arrow from his shoulder, already very dissatisfied.
Like Zhang Zhenzhou beside him, he is capable but not trustworthy.
Zhang Zhenzhou patted his shoulder and signaled him not to ask any more questions.
After the two of them retreated, Tian Zan also led his men to attack the city wall, which left Yang Gongqing and Zhang Zhenzhou speechless.
Wang Shichong seemed to be ill.
If we continue fighting like this, what pressure will the defenders feel?
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore.
A middle-aged man who was less than 40 years old walked out of Wang Shichong's personal guard camp. He was dressed in black, had a tall stature, a slightly long nose, and always had a smile on his lips.
The Great Master approached and asked with a smile, "What are your plans, Duke?"
Wang Shichong was quite polite to him and repeated his plan in detail.
When talking about the Rong Mansion, besides the usual cunning and vicious look on his face, there was also a hint of expectation.
It seemed that as long as Dugu Feng was captured, everything would be solved.
"Duke, there's no reason to wait for others passively."
After the Great Venerable, the plump and kind mother walked out of the crowd, and her brief voice, with spiritual magic, poured into Wang Shichong's ears.
Behind her was a young woman who was quite beautiful, but the coldness in her eyes was even colder than the sword in her hand.
While Shanmu was speaking, Xinnaya watched Wang Shichong's expression.
The three masters of the Daming Zun Sect have already noticed that something is wrong.
But there are too many eyes around.
They can only keep some things in their hearts.
Facing the gazes of the three people, Wang Shichong's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and his tongue subconsciously licked his cracked lower lip.
Feelings of tension and fear filled his heart.
It would be easy for these three people to kill him.
But Xiang Siren and Yang Qing were not there at the moment. If he died in public, the surrounding soldiers would surely be in chaos.
This is definitely not what the people of the Great Ming Sect want to see.
Wang Shichong glanced towards the Rong Mansion again, his toes curled up in his shoes. He suppressed his inner nervousness and forced a smile, saying, "Don't worry, the Rong Mansion will definitely produce results faster than here."
He looked behind Xinaya and saw two more people walking out.
They are Zhu Faming and a man with a ghost mask.
The masked man attracted his attention even more. The moment he saw him, the muscles on his face began to twitch.
The five of them were surrounded by only people from the personal guards camp, no one else.
Shanmu smiled and said, "The Duke is very thoughtful, but we can't just sit there and watch, so let's help."
Wang Shichong was shocked and thought they were going to take action.
These people are extremely skilled in martial arts, but each one is more cunning and cautious than the other, and they will never take risks.
Are they willing to charge into the army?
At this moment, a fierce battle suddenly broke out on the Yingtian Gate Tower.
Wang Shichong turned his head and saw that more than 20 masters suddenly rushed out from the army of his general Tian Zan.
Just looking at the arrogance they displayed when they attacked, it was clear that they were no match for ordinary military masters.
These people used the soldiers in Tian Zan's army as human shields, successfully rushed to the city wall, and then suddenly launched an attack.
The targets are very clear, one is Lu Chu and the other is Huangfu Wuyi.
Although these two temporary generals who defended the city knew some martial arts, they were not talented enough to be considered masters.
Zhu Faming and Dazun's men rushed forward.
He first fought with the people on the city wall, killed several of them, and then was stabbed to death by bullets from all directions.
However, several masters still broke through the blockade and killed Huangfu Wuyi.
The governor of Dongdu raised his sword to block, but someone next to him was faster than him.
The sound of a folding fan swishing beside his ear blocked the halberd and two swords in front of him. Huangfu Wuyi crouched down and thrust his steel knife forward like a green dragon emerging from the water.
After Hou Xibai practiced the Immortal Seal, the power of the Hundred Flower Folding Styles increased greatly.
Like plucking branches of flowers, he flicked the fan backwards, moving the three people closer. The master with the halberd in the middle was stabbed to death by Huangfu Wuyi's sword.
He wielded the fan like flying, striking the two swords faster and faster. He used the fan as if it were his arm, and with a little force he knocked down the two men's swords. He waved the fan to press their meridians, and kicked them off the city wall, sending them crashing into Tian Zan's army.
Not far from Huangfu Wuyi, the sword light was dazzling.
Dugu Feng appeared on the blue sky and red dust, and cut the wind with a sword. The sword light was like poured water, and three masters of the respected sect fell down with blood spurting out.
Zunjiao immediately sent out two fearless men to deal with Dugu Feng.
The others rushed towards Lu Chu.
Lu Neishi looked at the ferocious enemy in front of him without panicking at all. An old woman with white hair walked out hunched over, leaning on a jade bamboo stick.
Every wrinkle on her face seemed to radiate a strange pink light, and her pupils, half covered by her eyelids, shot out sharp arrows, with an extremely strange shape.
Suddenly, You Chuhong's hunched body straightened up almost miraculously.
With a move of his feet, he pushed the Dugu family's footwork to its peak and came to Lu Chu at an extremely fast speed like a ghost.
His movements were so fast that any young, strong and agile boy would be dumbfounded.
If she didn't move, it would be fine. She waved the jade bamboo staff, and in an instant, the power of nearly a hundred years was released along the twelve meridians!
The cloak and staff technique is not afraid of group battles at all. With her extremely high skills, it is like killing one person no matter how many people she hits.
It is not a transfer of energy into energy, but an extremely powerful true energy that emerges when the speed suddenly explodes. It is enough to penetrate all the energy in the body and break a surface with a touch of the stick tip.
Can he withstand this attack with nearly a hundred years of skill?
The dense green shadows of the sticks only appeared in the air for a moment.
You Chuhong leaned on her crutches again, hunched over, making Lu Chu feel like he wanted to go forward and support her.
But screams rang out all around.
At least eight masters were hit in the chest by bamboo sticks, their vests exploded and flew in all directions.
The old lady of the Dugu family had been famous for decades, but later on, the people who saw her take action the most were her three sons Dugu Feng, Dugu Sheng, and Dugu Ba.
Apart from them, it is rare for others to see my big stick.
When Lu Chu thought about how Chief Steward Dugu was beaten with such a stick, he felt itchy and didn't know what it felt like to be beaten.
The experience of those masters under the great master and Zhu Faming was very good.
Sleep soundly where you fell.
Lu Chu discovered another detail and was shocked.
After practicing Qigong, You Chuhong no longer felt out of breath.
Is the illness healed?!
Yes, it’s no big deal for the Taoist priest to communicate with yin and yang and cure living people’s diseases.
Lu Chu was surprised at You Chuhong's physical condition and even thought that people in the Imperial Hospital might be unemployed in the future.
About four feet to his right, Qiu Qianbo, who had killed four people with his unreasonable palm technique, was quite fascinated by the old lady's stick technique.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would really like to ask for advice.
Several masters rushed out together to break up this wave of attack as quickly as possible.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
Huangfu Wuyi shouted, and the next group of archers drew their arrows and shot, and General Tian Zan's attack was repelled again.
But they were confused.
"What exactly is Wang Shichong planning?"
Huangfu Wuyi also hid a group of people, waiting for Wang Shichong to attack.
The other party didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Dugu Feng came to You Chuhong's side. Having accompanied her for many years, she knew clearly that her grandmother was in good condition at the moment, so she was no longer worried.
He turned his head and looked towards Jinshi Street again.
You Chuhong's gaze passed through the military formation and locked onto the great man beside Wang Shichong.
Xu Kaishan also looked up at the city wall and found You Chuhong and the others.
Shanmu frowned, she already felt the situation was tricky.
The other side also has masters, so the difficulty and danger of breaking into the army and killing the generals are no longer within her consideration.
The Great and Kind Mother looked at Wang Shichong one after another.
The kind mother wanted to speak.
Dazun reached out to stop her.
"My lord, attack the city quickly."
The Great Master's pupils sank like quicksand, giving off a deep and terrifying feeling.
His voice was not loud, but it exploded in Wang Shichong's mind.
Wang Shichong held his head and said dazedly: "Yes"
But the next moment, his head felt like it was filled with a lot of things, causing it to feel swollen and painful. He held his head with both hands and flashed through his mind.
The scene changed and they arrived at Dugu Mansion.
A young man in white was staring at him and shouting, "Wang Shichong!"
Wang Shichong regained consciousness and found himself again.
Seeing that his eyes were clear, the Great Master showed a hint of surprise, and then looked at the faceless man wearing a mask.
The faceless man remained calm: "Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me."
The Great Master turned his head and spoke again: "Duke, attack the city quickly."
Wang Shichong repeated his previous reaction.
He regained consciousness again.
However, Xinaya's patience reached its limit and she slowly drew her sword in front of him.
With the woman's coldness, she was definitely not pretending.
Wang Shichong glanced at the masters on the city wall, and had no choice but to obey orders.
“Bang, bang, bang~!”
In an instant, the army was deployed.
The elite troops of the Wuwei camp gathered, and Song Mengqiu, Lang Feng, Yang Gongqing, and Zhang Zhenzhou received the order to attack the city at the same time.
“Here I come!”
Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi and others held their breath slightly, looking at the densely packed soldiers gathering, knowing that a more brutal battle was about to come.
Even You Chuhong and Qiu Qianbo showed caution.
On the tower of Ziwei Palace, many archers drew their bows and arrows and prepared themselves.
Just then
Suddenly, a dull voice filled with anger exploded from the west side of Tianjie.
"Stop! Stop it!"
The person shouting gathered all his energy and made his voice travel far away.
Tens of thousands of people on and off the city wall heard it clearly.
A large group of footsteps came from the flank.
Is it Yang Qing? !
When Wang Shichong heard this voice, he was shocked and even felt a sense of shattered hope.
Did Xiang Siren and Yang Qing succeed?
How is this possible? !
Generals Zhang Zhenzhou, Yang Gongqing, Song Mengqiu and others all turned around.
It’s really Yang Qing!
Looking again, Dugu Feng was next to him.
Did everyone misunderstand Duke Zheng and his strategy was correct?
As soon as Yang Qingcai approached, he roared, "Duke Zheng is dead. This Wang Shichong is a fake. Don't be fooled by him!"
Everyone knows that Yang Qing, the governor of Guanzhou, is Wang Shichong's confidant.
His shout really stopped the attacking army.
“Nonsense!”
Wang Shichong shouted angrily: "Yang Qing, are you crazy?!"
Everyone looked at Wang Shichong, then at Yang Qing, only to see Dugu Feng taking out a package and taking out the collection he had just taken from Lu Chu's house.
Yang Qing held the collection in both hands, raised it above his head, and cried out in grief, "You fake! This is the Duke of Zheng!"
Many people who did not know the truth were surprised when they saw the head, as it looked exactly like Wang Shichong.
Discussions suddenly arose from everywhere.
The Great Master stared at Yang Qing in silence. Shanmu was about to take action, but she stopped in her tracks.
Just because a figure in white walked out from Yang Qing's army.
Upon closer inspection, he seemed to be unharmed!!
When Wang Shichong saw Zhou Yi, his expression changed again.
Shanmu's mellow voice carried far and wide: "Yang Qing has already betrayed Duke Zheng. How can his words be trusted? Heavenly Master, please don't play such a conspiracy."
"A trick?"
Zhou Yi said coldly, "Then come and take a look to see if this is Wang Shichong's head."
"That's ridiculous! What's so interesting about this? You just found someone who looked like Duke Zheng, cut off his head and brought it here."
Shanmu shook Yu Xiaoyao in her hand and said, "Do you think we are all fools?"
Zhou Yi was not angry at all.
At this time, he looked at Wang Shichong.
Suddenly he said:
"Wang Shichong, do you want to identify it yourself?"
It was difficult for others to understand why Zhou Yi spoke like this; even Yang Qing, who was holding his head, was confused.
However, what no one expected was
Wang Shichong, who was standing in front of Xinaya, responded loudly, "Okay, what's wrong with trying to identify it?"
He pushed away his personal guards with one hand and walked out with his head held high.
Xinaya drew her sword and was about to kill him, but Shanmu quickly stopped her.
The living Wang Shichong went to identify a head to see if it was his own?
Everyone found it unbelievable.
At the same time, I don’t know where Wang Shichong got the courage to actually approach the Heavenly Master.
The next moment, something even more shocking happened.
Just as Wang Shichong approached the Heavenly Master, he suddenly quickened his pace and rushed forward, shouting at the same time:
"Master, help me~!"
Generals Yang Gongqing, Song Mengqiu and others were all dumbfounded.
Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, and even the old lady on the city wall were all shocked.
Yang Qing's face changed and he held his head, not knowing what to do.
A strange look flashed across Zhou Yi's face, then the cold expression subsided, and he smiled slightly as he walked towards Wang Shichong.
"Tianshi, the evil cult of Mobei is trying to seize the Eastern Capital. They threatened my life and forced me to attack the city. I dared not invade the Imperial City. Therefore, they repeatedly ordered me to attack the Imperial City quickly, but I tried to delay them. This time, I finally waited for the Tianshi to come!"
Wang Shichong's complaints were quite loud.
Those confused generals and those who had strong opinions about him suddenly realized what was going on.
So that’s what it is!
In an instant, many of Wang Shichong's subordinates looked at Dazun Shanmu with vigilance.
"oh?"
Zhou Yi asked doubtfully, pointing at the head: "Duke Zheng, how do you explain this head?"
Wang Shichong pointed at Shanmu and said, "The Mobei cult was trying to find someone to impersonate me. Fortunately, the Heavenly Master killed this beast, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
"I see."
"Duke Zheng has suffered, General Yang, please keep this head."
Yang Qing said "yes" and put the collection back into the package. Dugu Feng was very disgusted, but still carried "Wang Shichong" on his back.
Wang Shichong took a long breath, looked at Zhou Yi with a strong desire to survive, and bowed:
"Master, please make the decision for me!"
Zhou Yi took a step forward, ready to slap his head off at any time, but he just patted his shoulder.
"I am here now, and I will naturally keep you safe."
Wang Shichong's eyes widened with excitement as he shouted to the tens of thousands of soldiers, "All officers, listen to my orders! Follow the Heavenly Master's orders and destroy the evil Mobei cultists who are disrupting the Middle-earth!"
The soldiers in the army were dizzy and although they did not take action immediately, they moved away from the Great and Kind Mother.
“Wait~~!!!”
At this moment, a voice exactly the same as Wang Shichong's suddenly sounded.
Zhou Yi immediately looked towards the personal guard camp!
Ok, Ok!!
As far as the eye could see, a man with a similar build to Wang Shichong walked out and glanced around with a sinister look.
Then he pointed at Wang Shichong who was beside Zhou Yi:
"He is fake, I am Wang Shichong!"
Then he tore off the human skin mask on his face.
Everyone exclaimed, this person looks exactly like Wang Shichong!
"You fart!"
Wang Shichong, who was beside Zhou Yi, shouted angrily, "You are the fake one, I am the real one!"
"Humph, I'm real!"
“You’re fake!”
"I am the real one!"
“…”
The two men started arguing with each other, leaving everyone confused and not knowing whose orders to follow.
Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing.
Jiu Tou Chong, you have come to this day.
He looked at Wang Shichong beside the Great Master and said sarcastically, "Wang Shichong, how do you prove that you are Wang Shichong?"
Wang Shichong looked at his general Song Mengqiu.
"Meng Qiu, you have the sharpest ears, and you've worked with me for many years. You should be able to hear the subtle differences between my speech and that of this fake."
Song Mengqiu looked at the cult leader and then at the Taoist master.
He shook his head helplessly: "I can't hear it."
Wang Shichong frowned and said to General Lang Feng, "Lang Feng, you have practiced Eagle Eye Spear Technique and have sharp eyes. You can naturally see the difference between me and that fake."
When Lang Feng saw Wang Shichong in front of him, he couldn't be more real.
And that feeling of familiarity and naturalness is something that no other Wang Shichong could imitate.
However, the situation at this time was too dangerous, and he could already feel the Taoist master's gaze, which was sharper than an eagle.
General Lang Feng shook his head: "I can't tell."
After hearing this, Wang Shichong showed an expression as if he wanted to eat someone.
Yang Qing, who was in the distance, said at this time: "You fake, die quickly with the cultists!"
"Good, good, good."
Zhu Faming chanted the Buddha's name, activated the Ten Stages of Mahayana practice, and illuminated Wang Shichong with the Buddha's light, causing a sense of holiness to radiate from his entire body.
"His primordial spirit is pure, exactly like Wang Shichong himself."
The faceless man said, "People have facial features and minds, and their minds transform their faces. The person next to the Heavenly Master is just imitating someone else's mind and transforming their faces. Therefore, he is fake."
"No!"
This voice came from the city wall.
When everyone looked over, they saw a young man wearing a yellow robe, a golden crown on his head, and a serious expression.
It was Emperor Huangtai, Yang Tong.
He looked down at Wang Shichong, who was standing next to the faceless man. "How could it be true that you colluded with the Mobei cult, committed treason and betrayed your superiors? You are disloyal and have no moral integrity, and you attacked Ziwei Palace?!"
Emperor Huangtai looked at the soldiers:
"You are all citizens of the Great Sui Dynasty. Although these are chaotic times and each of you serves his own master, you should not associate with a foreign, evil cult that covets the Nine Provinces. If your ancestors knew about this, wouldn't they feel ashamed?"
"Your Majesty~~!"
Many people lowered their heads, and some dropped their weapons.
Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The Heavenly Master is currently suppressing the rebellion in the Eastern Capital and also saved me. You should listen to him and work together to eradicate the evil cult and the evil monks and protect this area."
When Zhang Zhenzhou and Yang Gongqing paid their respects to Emperor Huang Tai, the atmosphere in the army changed drastically.
The game is over!
The Great Mother of Goodness rushed out at the first moment, followed closely by the faceless man, Zhu Faming, and Xinnaya. Zhou Yi's speed was even faster than the limit. With a flash of white light, he rushed straight towards Wang Shichong~!
Influenced by the Great Master, the personal soldiers blocked Zhou Yi together, but he slapped his palm and a faint thunderous sound was heard.
The four people blocking the way were blown away on the spot.
Wang Shichong's eyes widened as he leaped into the air. Zhou Yi didn't touch the ground, but instead used a spinning force to soar into the air. He was the first to arrive, and with a mid-air grabbing hold of Wang Shichong's shoulders, he pulled him down from the air.
Wang Shichong looked at the man in white within three feet in horror.
A feeling of endless fear spread in his heart.
He wanted to exert his strength, but an icy force had already flowed into his body through his shoulders, freezing his true energy.
Wang Shichong used his strong internal strength to offset the coldness of the frost.
It’s a pity that the ice condenses faster than it can dissolve.
In an instant, his brows and eyes were covered with frost and his lips were trembling.
"I am Wang Shichong, I am Wang Shichong~!"
He roared loudly, feeling completely devastated.
"The Nine-Headed Insect has a brain disease. I'm here to treat you. This time, I can cure it in one go, without the risk of recurrence."
After hearing this, Wang Shichong regretted it deeply.
But the sound of a sword shook his eardrums, and the fiery sword light instantly melted the frost on his face.
With this alternation of cold and heat, Wang Shichong could recover from any brain disease. Then he enjoyed the final treatment, his head flew into the sky. He was free and no longer had headaches.
