Ignorant and fearless.
Zhang Xiaozu had never heard of the Six Gates before, and thought it was a certain sect in the southern border, so when he heard the words "Six Gates", he didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart, and he didn't have much fear.
He has dealt with many major sects in the southern region, so that in his eyes, the sects have lost that layer of mystery, and have lost their initial fear and awe.
It wasn't until he learned from Yan Shangwu what the Six Gates were that Zhang Xiaozhu was startled. He didn't expect that the person in front of him had such a big background. No wonder Yan Shangwu was so afraid.
He looked at the guy in front of him who was covering himself with the power of space, and couldn't help but frown.
Before the enmity with the Zhennan Palace became clear, he didn't really want to deal with the royal family, because maybe he might become a wanted felon by the royal family after the Spring Equinox next year.
However, he still got off his horse, bowed to Rakshasa and said, "Zhang Xiaopou has met Lord Rakshasa. I wonder what you want from me?"
"Follow me, the empire has a mission for you." Rakshasa said. His voice was cold and hollow. I don't know if it was because of the influence of the power of space or because of his personality.
Zhang Xiaozu thought for a moment and asked, "Can I refuse?"
"——" Yan Shangwu heard Zhang Xiaozu's answer from the side and opened his mouth in shock. He never expected that Zhang Xiaozu wanted to refuse the task of six doors. Is this the old man who hanged himself because he thought he would live too long?
He wanted to remind Zhang Xiaopou, but the cold breath that hit him made him choke, and the words that came to his mouth were choked back. He couldn't help but scream inwardly, knowing that Zhang Xiaopou's words had angered Lord Rakshasa.
"No." Rakshasa breathed out two words that were like ice picks. Seeing Zhang Xiaopou start to frown again, his tone became colder and said: "Either accept and carry out the mission, or die."
Zhang Xiaozu felt the murderous aura coming from Rakshasa, which was so cold that he couldn't help but feel frightened. He felt that as long as he dared to say "no", this guy would immediately kill him.
Dong dong dong——
A drum order to withdraw troops came from the distant city wall.
"The rebels are about to attack the city. How about we talk after the battle?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
Rakshasa was silent for a moment, and then slowly uttered one word: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared out of thin air.
"Huh -" Yan Shangwu was relieved, he breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then gave Zhang Xiaozhu a thumbs up in admiration, lowered his voice and praised: "Brother, you are so brave, you dare to fight with Liumen The adults are bargaining, I admire you."
Zhang Xiaopou got on his horse, looked at Yan Shangwu and asked, "Why do you think the people from Liumen are looking for me?"
"——" Yan Shangwu looked at Zhang Xiaozu with a speechless expression, with five characters written on his face: "How do I know."
"Mostly because he wants to freeload and take advantage of me." Zhang Xiaozhu asked and answered to himself.
Yan Shangwu was getting on his horse. When he heard Zhang Xiaopou's questions and answers, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. He couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Brother, I think you think too much. The six gates are directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor. With the imperial power, from now on You don’t need to ask for permission from the Sixth Department to get things from the treasury, so I won’t be freeloading and taking advantage of you.”
"That's not necessarily the case. The richer people are, the more stingy they are." Zhang Xiaozhu said. He guessed that the people from Liumen came to him, most likely because they wanted him to bless objects for them, but they didn't want to pay for it, so they called the empire flag.
Yan Shangwu's eyes twitched hard twice. If he couldn't defeat Zhang Xiaopou, he would definitely wake him up by peeing in his urine.
The army entered the city and the city gates were closed.
The soldiers took the time to rest and reorganize, eat dry food to replenish their physical strength, and prepare for the upcoming siege.
Zhang Xiaozu followed Qi Yoyo up the city wall.
"Just now outside the city, there was a man from Liumen looking for me." Zhang Xiaozu said in a low voice.
Qi Yoyo was shocked when she heard this. She knew what kind of existence the Six Gates were, and asked in surprise: "What are the people from the Six Gates looking for you for?"
"I don't know." Zhang Xiaozu replied, "The empire has a mission for me, but I haven't said what specific mission it is. I'll let him finish the battle."
"He agreed?" Qi Yoyo asked in surprise. The Six Doors she had heard about was not so easy to talk to.
"Yeah" Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
"As far as I know, people from Liumen are not so easy to talk to. Could it be that someone is pretending to be someone?" Qi Yoyo said suspiciously, but before Zhang Xiaozu could respond, she shook her head and denied her guess, saying: "It should be No one dares to impersonate someone from Six Doors so blatantly.”
"Maybe it's because we are still fighting." Zhang Xiaozhu said, "I see Yan Shangwu is extremely afraid of this person. Is the Six Gates scary?"
"Terrible." Qi Yoyo nodded solemnly, "The imperial power has granted him the authority to be the law enforcement agency under one person and over ten thousand people."
"To use a simple analogy, Gai Huayang holds the Emperor's Order Arrow and has the privilege of killing my father first and then killing him. However, he wants to get rid of my father, but he still dare not kill my father first and then kill him. He has to go to great lengths to accuse my father before he dares to do it. But Liu Fan There is absolutely no need for the gatekeepers. If they dare to confront me, they will chop my father with a knife. If they say you are guilty, you are guilty."
"That's why people in the officialdom change their expressions when they hear about the Six Gates. They would rather go to the Gate of Hell for a tour than drink tea at the Six Gates."
"The six sects are divided into the inner six sects and the outer six sects, which are equivalent to the inner sect disciples and the outer sect disciples of the sect. It is said that the core members of the six sects within the six sects are either those who have reached the heavens or are in the People who are extremely talented in a certain field, they have been collecting and cultivating the amazing talents in Dayu."
"Maybe your talent caught their attention and they wanted to recruit you into Six Doors."
"Can you refuse?" Zhang Xiaozu asked with a frown.
"No!" Rakshasa's cold and hollow voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by a strong smell of blood filling the air.
Dong dong dong——
More than a dozen bloody heads suddenly rolled down in front of Zhang Xiaozu and Qi Yoyo.
"Almost all the heads of the rebel generals are here. They have retreated." Rakshasa's figure was revealed ten steps away, still obscured by the power of space, and he said in a non-surprising tone.
Zhang Xiaozhu and Qi Yoyo couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. They couldn't imagine that this person's terrifying cultivation strength could actually rush into hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in such a short period of time and kill the enemy generals in one fell swoop. Forcing the opponent to retreat, he was far less able to capture the enemy's general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops.
"His Majesty is already aware of the grudge between you and Su Yang." Another sentence came out of Rakshasa's mouth that shocked Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozhu's pupils trembled and he became nervous instantly.
"Your Majesty said that Su Yang poisoned the people and committed extremely evil crimes. He should be punished with death. In order to avenge the grievances of the people, he authorized you to carry out the punishment on behalf of heaven and gave the emperor an arrow."
"——" Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that the man on the dragon throne would have such an attitude.
Not only did he not show favoritism to Su Yang, he tried every means to excuse his crimes, but he also gave him the emperor's arrows and asked him to execute Su Yang on behalf of heaven. It can be seen that the crime committed by Su Yang was deeply disgusted by him, which made him furious and resolutely killed his relatives. , will not be tolerated.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Xiaopou knelt down on one knee and said sincerely with gratitude. He thought that that one must be a good emperor who hated evil as much as he hated his enemies and loved his people like his own children.
"But, Your Majesty hopes that you can be more lenient." Rakshasa said again.
