Li Zhu rolled his eyes at Wang Yanzhang, thinking to himself, "Can't you just sit still for a while? You're so old, and you're still fighting and killing..."
"We were talking about persuading them to surrender..."
Li Zhu looked at Wang Yanzhang and said in an annoyed tone!
"His Highness the Crown Prince now has a strong and well-equipped army, he doesn't need to be another man. Even if we're trying to persuade him to surrender, we need to test his mettle and see if he deserves the title of 'God of Guns'..."
Wang Yanzhang said with righteous indignation!
"You're a marksman, alright? Stop causing trouble, General Chen, please continue..."
Li Zhu casually brushed it off, which made Wang Yanzhang even more annoyed. He thought to himself, "I'm your future father-in-law, how can you treat me like this?"
However, no one paid attention to his emotions, and Chen Qingzhi continued...
"Gao Siji is an upright man, and he even rode a white horse to show his uncorrupted character. Now that Liu Zhiyuan has persuaded Shi Chonggui to recognize the Liao emperor as his grandfather, this is definitely a blow to Gao Siji. He certainly doesn't want to associate with such a master..."
In addition, considering that when I was in Youzhou, the outer magistrate and I vigorously publicized Your Highness's heroic deeds, I think Gao Siji would definitely prefer to follow Your Highness rather than Shi Chonggui, who is willing to be someone else's grandson..."
"General Chen, how confident are you that you can persuade Gao Siji to surrender?"
"It's hard to say for sure, but I'm willing to do everything I can to persuade Gao Siji to surrender..."
Chen Qingzhi spoke with unwavering determination, clearly prepared for the possibility that his attempts to persuade Chen to surrender would fail and he might not be able to return…
Li Zhu hesitated for a moment. Looking at Chen Qingzhi's eager eyes, he didn't want the other to take the risk, but he also didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he finally nodded and said...
"You can go, but your safety must be the top priority. Never disregard your own safety to achieve your goal. Remember, your life is mine, and you cannot easily give it up without my permission..."
Chen Qingzhi was deeply moved by Li Zhu's words. In this era of war, human life was cheaper than grass, but when someone tells you that your life is precious, it naturally warms your heart...
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey..."
Guo Wei witnessed all of this, and only at this moment did he understand the meaning of the Marquis's words: no one except the Crown Prince could bully you. This instant strengthened his sense of agreement with the attitude...
Watching Chen Qingzhi leave, Li Zhu felt a vague unease, a sense that something was about to happen. Since his strength had increased, his perception of danger had become increasingly acute, but this also troubled him, as he didn't know where the danger was coming from…
quack quack…
A continuous cawing of crows came, which made Li Zhu even more agitated...
After all, they say a crow's cawing brings no good news, so he couldn't help but shout loudly outside.
"Arrow Spirit, shoot that damned crow dead..."
But there was no response for a long time, which made Li Zhu wonder. With Arrow Soul's strength, it was impossible that he couldn't handle two crows...
He walked out of the tent, puzzled, and saw Arrow Soul scanning the surroundings, seemingly searching for something…
"Arrow Soul, what are you doing? It's just a few crows, is it that difficult?"
Li Zhu couldn't help but complain!
"I didn't see it..."
Arrow Soul replied succinctly!
Didn't you see it?
Li Zhu looked up in confusion in the direction of the sound, but there were indeed no crows there...
Seeing this, Li Zhu finally realized something was wrong. The shout was likely a code; the danger might not be with Chen Qingzhi at all, but with him. The danger he sensed was directed at him...
"Someone come here..."
Li Zhu roared to the sky and retreated, but it was too late...
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and an arrow flew straight towards Li Zhu…
With his current strength, the probability of Arrow Feather hurting him is very low, because his reaction speed has already surpassed Arrow Feather's speed...
He instinctively reached out and caught the incoming arrow, but his expression changed the next moment. A burst of energy shattered the arrow, and he was cut by the shards before he could dodge...
They were just minor scratches, but they enraged Li Zhu…
The archer spirit beside him immediately retaliated by firing an arrow in the direction from which it had come...
But there was no one there, it seemed as if the arrow had appeared out of thin air...
"Arrow Soul, go and call for help..."
Li Zhu roared, sending the arrow spirit away. Judging from the energy fluctuations just now, the opponent's strength might be above his own...
He's currently at the peak of the Vajra Indestructible realm; if his opponent were stronger, they might already be a master of the Transcendent Realm…
In martial arts, the higher the level, the greater the difference in strength. An ordinary person might be able to kill a master of internal energy with some effort, but it would be impossible for a master of internal energy to kill someone with indestructible strength, let alone a master whose strength has reached the pinnacle of perfection...
Every move he made had reached a level of complete control, capable of carrying the might of heaven and earth, and intimidating all enemies…
"I'm not leaving..."
The Archer Soul was a master archer, and for him to have his own prince ambushed using archery was an immense humiliation...
Just then, the surrounding soldiers began to gather around, and immediately spotted the wounded Li Zhu…
Everyone gathered around, concerned, asking what had happened…
"General Wang, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow..."
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Wang Yanzhang immediately tossed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to Li Zhu!
With the divine weapon in hand, Li Zhu felt more confident. He looked around at his surroundings, which appeared perfectly normal...
His heart sank to the bottom. The person who came to ambush him must be a master, otherwise how could he hide in the dark?
This guy is incredibly confident to come to his military camp to ambush him…
Everyone nervously looked around, but after waiting for a long time, the other side made no further move, as if they had only come here to shoot that arrow...
Suddenly, Li Zhu thought of a problem. Experts can change their appearance. His shout just now attracted a large number of soldiers. What if the assassin was hiding among the soldiers?
Before he could even utter a word of warning, a soldier, sword in hand, leaped into the air and charged straight for his throat...
And this was just the beginning, followed by a second, a third…
After they took off their clothes, their true attire was revealed…
"A Liao assassin..."
Li Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "I never expected that a Liao expert would infiltrate my camp..."
Facing the oncoming assassins, Li Zhu swiftly cleaved the first person charging at him in two with a single stroke of his blade…
However, the others did not hesitate at all because of Li Zhu's ruthlessness; on the contrary, they charged towards Li Zhu with even greater determination...
Suicide squad!
Li Zhu guessed the identities of these people. Whether it was the emperor or a powerful clan, they would all train assassins, but the strength of the assassins varied, and naturally, the assassins they trained would also be different...
