The blast of four red fire talismans must be dealt with carefully even by those who are at the ninth level of the Open Monument. What's more, it was Cao Ling who only opened the eighth stele.
Cao Ling did not expect that Yu Zhi would really dare to activate the talisman.
If he was killed, Yu Zhi would also be charged with killing the imperial official. Is Yu Zhi really not afraid at all?
What Cao Ling didn't know was that Chu Emperor Xiao Yuande wanted to kill all the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun and cut off Xiang Ji's right-hand man, so that the country of Chu could return its surname to Xiao.
Yu Zhi's eyes were full of explosions. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Master Zu is worried about Commander Cao?"
When gods fight, little devils suffer.
Zu Anbang stood beside Yu Zhi, not daring to let down his guard at all times. As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, but the young man in front of him is a beast even more terrifying than the tiger.
Zu Anbang hurriedly replied: "If Commander Cao is really injured, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Chu Palace."
Zu Anbang took out the name of King Chu, wanting to remind or scare Yu Zhi.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhi smiled faintly and said: "Xiang Ji is still in Gutian Tower. Who knows if he can get out of that tower. Since Cao Ling dares to provoke me, I naturally want to show him some color. I am His Majesty's imperial minister. If the censor is indifferent, where will your majesty's face go?"
Seeing this, Zu Anbang could only agree.
It doesn't matter whether Cao Ling dies or not, what matters is that he lives.
The blazing flames engulfed Cao Ling's figure, and everyone saw Yu Zhi's terror and ruthlessness.
The most important thing is that Yu Zhi's recklessness makes Zu Anbang scared. A person who has no scruples is the scariest person.
After a cup of tea, the rising mushroom cloud had not dissipated, and a charred body lay in the ruins of the martial arts arena without any movement.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do now.
I heard the instigator Yu Zhi said in a hurry: "What are you still doing? Why don't you go and see if Commander Cao is still angry?"
When the officers and soldiers of Su Cheng Army heard this, they surrounded him.
Cao Ling's breath was weak, and although he was conscious, he didn't have a good piece of meat on his body. He couldn't cultivate for more than half a year.
The officers and soldiers of Su Cheng Army saw that their scalps were numb and thought: Lord Yu is so cruel.
However, they then thought that Cao Ling might not have held back when he attacked Su Ji, so he deserved the bad luck. Yu Zhi wanted to vent his anger on Su Chengjun.
"Master Yu, Commander Cao is still alive." Someone shouted loudly.
"Alive..." The disappointment in Yu Zhi's eyes flashed away, and a look of relief appeared on his face, "Just alive. Just alive. I am afraid that Commander Cao will be too weak and die on the spot. This is It’s a big loss to me, Da Chu.”
A cat cries over a mouse, fake mercy!
Zu Anbang really understood Yu Zhi's face and echoed it.
Yu Zhi looked to another place. There were dozens of personal guards brought by Cao Ling from Jiangnan City.
Yu Zhi said with concern: "Commander Cao is seriously injured. Take him back to Jiangnan City to recuperate. I will visit Commander Cao in a few days."
Cao Ling's personal guards gritted their teeth and could only nod in agreement.
The boss has been tortured to the point of being paralyzed. I'm afraid they are not enough for Yu Zhi to kill.
After beating Cao Ling and retreating Zu Anbang, only Yu Zhi and the seriously injured Su Ji were left in the camp.
Su Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Master Yu, there is really no need to offend Commander Cao for my sake?"
From Su Ji's point of view, Yu Zhi today was all for him and venting his anger on Su Chengjun.
Yu Zhi shook his head and laughed. "He came here for me. He just wanted to use you to humiliate me. However, you performed well today and did not lose your integrity. Although I don't value these integrity, I have to admit that these things are sometimes important. .”
"After today's battle, everyone in the Su City Army will obey you. At least among everyone in the Su City Army, you are already the head coach of the Su City Army!"
Su Ji also understood that today was a blessing in disguise.
Yu Zhi continued: "You take good care of your injuries and put the Su Cheng Army in order. There are many things you don't know and you don't need to know. One day in the future, maybe I will need you. At that time, I will count on you and the Su Cheng Army. .”
Su Ji lay on the bed and said in a deep voice: "The general will obey Master Yu's order and will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Yu Zhi left some medicine bottles and left the Suzhou Army's camp.
With Su Ji, Su Chengjun has become Yu Zhi's subordinate. This is also the first army that Yu Zhi seeks to seize among Nanzhou soldiers. Although it only has 20,000 people, if it is managed well, it will become a support in the future, which is just around the corner.
.......
In Kyoto, Qiu Ruoruo looked at Liuying's information and said softly: "Brother Xiaoyu really... attracts bees and butterflies as soon as he arrives in Nanzhou, and he is still a married man."
If Yu Zhi were here, he would be surprised. The relationship between him and Su Muchi has always been secretive. Even Zu Anbang and others didn't know about it, but Qiu Ruoruo, who was thousands of miles away, knew everything about it.
"The matter in Su City is almost over. Where does Brother Xiaoyu plan to go next?"
Qiu Ruoruo looked at a huge sand table in front of her, on which were various counties and cities in Nanzhou as well as mountains and rivers.
A few days ago, Han Yang used a case to keep Qiu Ruoruo in Dali Temple. Han Yang knew that the case was related to Yu Zhi, and Qiu Ruoruo would definitely be interested.
At this moment, many more people were living in the prison of Dali Temple. Some are merchants and some are officials, but they are all from Nanzhou Prefecture, and they are all inextricably related to the Chu Prince's Mansion in Jiangnan City.
They are all little people, and it is often the little people who influence the changes in the current situation.
"Brother Xiaoyu asked Ning Huan to go to Nanzhou Mansion, but he didn't let me go. It's really disgusting." Yu Lan gritted his teeth at the side.
Qiu Ruoruo said: "Nanzhou Prefecture is dangerous. Mr. San and others are all in Nanzhou. If more people go, there will be more mistakes. Brother Xiaoyu doesn't let us go to Nanzhou Prefecture because of us. For safety reasons.”
Yu Lan held back her mouth. She understood the truth, but she still couldn't help but complain.
"Lanlan, Xiang Jinghao and the others should have arrived at Nanzhou Mansion." Qiu Ruoruo said, "There are still many members of the King of Chu in the court. Now that Xiang Jinghao is not in Kyoto, it is time to take action."
At dawn in Kyoto, officials from Dali Temple were welcomed into the mansions of countless officials.
In addition to Dali Temple, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all cooperating with Dali Temple's actions.
At the head are two young girls, one wearing a light yellow dress, the other in a blue dress, slim and graceful, but also selfless.
.......
Black Tiger was taken away by Tuan Tuan.
The little girl likes this cute little kitten very much, especially the red eye.
Under Tuantuan's pleading, Yu Zhi gave Black Tiger a few words to let him protect Su Muchi and Tuantuan.
Since Tuantuan liked Heihu, Yu Zhi took advantage of the situation and found a bodyguard for the two of them.
All this time, Su Muchi was only protected by Su Yichun. After all, the power of this guard was too weak. With Black Tiger, Yu Zhi can rest assured to let Su Muchi walk around.
However, Yu Zhi did not tell Su Muchi about the true identity of the little black cat, just to scare Su Muchi.
In Fan Mansion, someone from the Fan family should have arrived a long time ago, but they did not arrive from the ancestral hall in Jiangnan City until today.
Fan Xiuming and Fan Lixin had some respect on their faces. The young man in front of them was Fan Lin, the eldest son of the main lineage of the Fan family, and his status was extraordinary. In the past Qingyun Examination, Fan Lin also made his mark and entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Now he is an official in Jiangnan City. Although his rank is not high, with the support of the Fan family, his future achievements are just around the corner.
Fan Lin is young, in his mid-twenties, with jade trees facing the wind, delicate and natural, and a bookish air. He is one of those Nanzhou literati in the painting.
Fan Lin was the first to speak: "This time, I originally asked my third brother to come. But because of what happened, grandpa asked me to leave. What impact did this incident have on Fan's reputation? You should know."
Fan Lin glanced at Fan Xiuming and Fan Lixin, with no blame in his eyes.
"I also know about Liren's serious illness, but how could such a sinful thing like robbing one's heart and blood happen to our Fan family?"
Fan Lixin made no excuse. He didn't know anything about Uncle Fu, but he knew that Fan Liren must know about it. And Fan Lin also knew it very well. If anyone in the Fan family really knew nothing about it, no one would believe it.
"Just resign from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry." Fan Lin ordered. This was not a discussion, but an order.
Fan Xiuming had expected this situation, but now it was hard to accept it.
"Young Master...is there really no room for change?" Fan Xiuming asked unwillingly. He was the minister of the Ministry of Industry... and Fan had spent a lot of effort to get the official position, and he couldn't bear to give it up.
Fan Lin shook his head and said: "His Majesty did not dismiss you from office. This is to save face for our Fan family. But if our Fan family is not sensible, then Your Majesty will not give Fan a good look. So, if you resign on your own initiative, you can still Save Fan’s reputation.”
Fan Xiuming nodded helplessly. "Today, I will write to your Majesty to request your permission to resign."
Losing the official position of Minister of Industry was also Fan's loss, but it was a last resort. If someone catches you, you have to give up something and cut off your tail to survive.
Fan Lin continued: "Is Liren's illness getting better?"
Fan Lixin said: "Since the incident, the eldest brother has been unable to sleep every day. The servants said that every time the eldest brother closes his eyes, he will wake up from fright and say random things. His body is getting more and more haggard day by day. "
Fan Lin didn't care about Fan Liren's health and said again: "Ask the doctor from Jiangnan City to come and take a look. Let the servants take good care of him and make sure nothing... goes wrong!"
Fan Lin said the word "error" very seriously.
The mistake here also has another meaning. It is a warning to Fan Xiuming and his son not to repeat the dirty things they did before.
Fan Lixin's head was shaken and he responded repeatedly.
Ever since Yu Zhi sneaked into Fan's house, some children would always appear in front of Fan Liren. Those children's chests had been cut open, and they were holding beating hearts in their hands. They were smiling and bleeding. Pass the heart to Fan Liren.
"Killing young children and eating human hearts can cure all diseases. Take the heart blood and fry ginseng, and you can live for a hundred years."
The crisp sound of ballads kept echoing in Fan Liren's ears until it drove him crazy.
Sometimes living is much harder than dying.
