Somewhere in Xiqi City.
Countless people came to the streets, angry and high-spirited.
Lu Xiaobing covered his face and drifted among the crowd. He shouted loudly and waved his arms from time to time.
He held the flag firmly in his hand. The flag was not painted with Xiqi's totem, but with several large characters:
"Xiqi is shameless and wants to return justice to Dr. Shen!"
The people were also excited and rushed to the city gate, because everyone had learned that Xiqi broke his promise, was despicable, and was preparing to send troops to intercept and kill Doctor Shen.
Now they are even chasing him out of the city. It is obvious that the doctor's life is in danger, so he attracts countless people to come forward spontaneously.
You must know that Doctor Shen has always been a just man and served the country and the people. He is extremely respected by both the Yin merchants and the people of Xiqi. What's more, Doctor Shen just went on stage to pray for rain and brought a timely rain for Xiqi.
It has ensured that the people will not be affected by drought and food shortage this year. Such a kind act is a great kindness, and it has saved countless lives.
What's even more irritating is that Xiqi failed in the competition. Not only did he not keep his promise, but he lured Doctor Shen into the city and wanted to kill him secretly.
There is no such truth in the world.
Such a grumbling thing, coupled with the deliberate fanning by some thoughtful people, immediately attracted a large number of people to gather and vent their dissatisfaction.
But facing Xiqi, everyone was helpless.
Because it was King Wu and Prime Minister Jiang who wanted Doctor Shen's life, and no one listened to what ordinary people like them had to say.
Even Xiqi, who is known as benevolent and righteous, cannot avoid the huge gap between nobles and common people.
Those in power will always be in power, and class is a gap that can never be crossed.
They were powerless to change the decision of King Wu and the Prime Minister.
But everyone wants to use their own power to rescue Dr. Shen and bring justice to the world.
Lu Xiaobing stood in the crowd, waving the flag vigorously, towards the place where the fire started outside the city, holding his throat and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, just a few days ago, Dr. Shen generously prayed for rain for me in Xiqi, saving crops and countless lives."
Lu Xiaobing shouted so loudly and pinched his throat that he really startled the people around him.
But when they reacted, they all praised him.
Lu Xiaobing was very satisfied when he saw this, and continued: "For the sake of justice, Doctor Shen went to Xiqi alone to attend the banquet, but unexpectedly he was trapped in the city and was not allowed to leave."
Lu Xiaobing walked up to the crowd with an excited tone. This was what he and Lao Huang had planned, and they mobilized public opinion in the city to call on the people to rescue Dr. Shen.
"Since Doctor Shen dares to enter Xiqi alone, he does it because he trusts us and the people of Xiqi not to repay kindness with enmity, and trusts us not to use tricks to cause harm."
"But when I learned that Dr. Shen was poisoned and hunted, I felt extremely sad. Is this how we, the people of Xiqi, treat our benefactors? Is this how we treat the sages of the world?"
"We can all die, but Dr. Shen cannot die!"
Lu Xiaobing was in high spirits, the flag in his hand fluttered in the wind, and shouted towards the place where the flames were blazing: "Everyone, Xiqi is unkind now, but we cannot be unjust. Who dares to break out of the city with me to rescue Dr. Shen?" !”
As he shouted, a large number of support instantly came to him. The civilians originally did not dare to fight with the officers and soldiers.
But with Lu Xiaobing and the elite of the Shen family secretly hiding among them, the situation began to change unpredictably.
What's more, the soldiers guarding the city had never seen such a scene before. More and more people gathered, and the streets were filled in just a moment.
They wanted to take action, but were very hesitant.
What, you mean to kill someone? Suppress these people?
Normally it doesn't matter, but in this case who dares to take this responsibility? Xiqi has always governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, so who would dare to do such a thing that provokes a popular uprising.
Even if Ji Fa was here, he would not dare to commit such public outrage, because if not handled well, it would be a major event that would destroy Xiqi's foundation.
Without the help of the people and the support of public opinion, how could he compete with the Yin Shang?
Therefore, this matter is destined to not be resolved calmly, not to mention that even the soldiers of Xiqi feel a little ashamed when facing Doctor Shen and dare not face him.
At this time, the people were also aroused by Lu Xiaobing. No one knew what Dr. Shen had done for Xiqi in the world.
After so many years since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors retired from the world in ancient times, there has never been another sage in the world, but what Dr. Shen is doing now makes everyone admire him.
This is a good man who really works for the benefit of the people and thinks about the human race.
But now such a good man is going to die in Xiqi, which is simply unacceptable.
Immediately, countless people rushed towards the city gate, shouting to Lu Xiaobing in front:
"Girl, we respect you as a man!"
"Even a woman can seek justice for Dr. Shen, so what do we have to fear?"
"Everyone, rush out of the city. Don't worry, Doctor Shen. I'll be here to protect you!"
The crowd was full of morale and excited. Lu Xiaobing looked ahead and felt that his efforts were not in vain. Without hesitation, he kicked down a city gate guard first and waved his hand to the side.
But just when everyone was rushing out of the city, he suddenly froze, and seemed to finally react, with puzzled questions in his eyes.
By the way, why do people respect me as a man?
Am I not?
How brave was he to save Dr. Shen this time? It's just throwing your head and blood, no matter what.
Isn’t this enough?
While he was trying to think about life, the words of the sword spirit girl Youyou behind him came to his mind.
"Mr. Lu, let's go back and discuss this in detail tonight..."
…
Forehead……
When Lu Xiaobing heard these words, his face suddenly changed, turning from white to white, and then back to white again, as if he had thought of something very bad.
He didn't dare to answer, but hurriedly shouted, raised his feet and quickly walked out of the city, shouting loudly and righteously:
"Hahaha, don't worry, Doctor Shen, my subordinates are here to save you!"
After finishing speaking, he had just taken two steps when his legs and feet suddenly trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
…
At this moment, in the Yin Shang military camp, shortly after Zhang Guifang and others led the army to leave, several clouds of light suddenly flashed in the sky.
More than a dozen strange-looking Taoists, each riding a mount, appeared out of thin air.
These ten or so people were none other than the fellow Taoists whom Master Wen had brought from Jin'ao Island to help Dr. Shen.
But before they could stop, they suddenly found that the Yin Shang camp was plunged into darkness, and everyone seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Everyone was obviously surprised when they saw this, and asked with doubts in their mouths:
"Brother Qin Dao, is this the Yin Shang camp?"
"Why can't I see anyone? Where is Dr. Shen?"
Qin Tianjun was stunned for a moment after hearing the words of fellow Taoists. He also felt that what was happening in front of him was very strange. There were no traces of fighting here. It didn't look like the Shang army was defeated. If it wasn't defeated, why did they abandon the camp here?
Qin Tianjun raised his head in confusion and saw a blazing fire in the distance, which seemed to be Xiqi's direction. Then he swept away with his consciousness, counted his fingers in his hands, and suddenly shouted loudly:
"not good!"
"Fellow Taoists, go to Xiqi quickly, Doctor Shen is in trouble!"
"What!"
Hearing the news, Shi Tianjun also became nervous. They were originally invited by Master Wen to protect Dr. Shen. If they had just found Dr. Shen and died right in front of their eyes, wouldn't their journey have been in vain.
If you lose face and don't say anything, you will also show your incompetence. How will you face Master Wen on the island in the future?
Thinking of this, he did not dare to neglect, and Qin Tianjun hurriedly said: "Everyone, we should go to the rescue as soon as possible to relieve Doctor Shen's danger!"
"good!"
"What Brother Qin Dao said is absolutely true!"
Qin Tianjun's words were immediately approved by everyone, and then Shi Tianjun slapped his mount. Almost instantly, the wind howled, and the beasts roared one after another. Each of them rolled up a puff of smoke and headed towards Xiqi...
In the distant firelight, Doctor Shen looked ahead happily. He found that the current situation was becoming more and more favorable to him.
Not only did he worship the black tiger, but Nangong Shi wanted to kill him, but to his surprise, even Jiang Ziya came over on time.
"Father, something bad is going on. This place is dangerous. I will protect you and get out of the siege quickly!"
Dr. Shen was shocked after hearing this. Will he protect me and leave this place?
What a big joke, it's too late to be happy to see Jiang Ziya's adoptive father.
"Stay back, don't say anything. What will you do if I leave? Go and protect the princess!" Doctor Shen immediately stopped Huang Tianxiang's move, because he realized that he was certain to die this time. Jiang Ziya is now Come with all the troops in the city.
I looked up and saw a shout coming from in front of the fire, followed by flags waving in the four directions, each with several heroic generals, arranged according to the stars of the four directions, green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu.
Wearing armor in four colors of green, white, red and black, the infantry generals and horsemen are surrounding us in unison. They are surrounded by murderous auras, showing their elite status.
The spear, sword and halberd reflected the fierce flames, and the scorching heat in the distance was actually a bit cold.
Such a siege almost instantly encircled the whole world from top to bottom, and even the birds in the forest would be unable to escape at this moment.
As the teams from all directions were mobilized, the generals and officers on both sides were neatly aligned: Nezha was on the Hot Wheels, holding a fire-pointed spear, and Yang Jian on the opposite side was wearing armor and a red cloak.
Jin Zha and Mu Zha each hold two swords.
Huang Tianhua and Wu Ji walked out one after another. Until the last burst of beast sounds sounded softly, the light under Baohun's flag flickered, and Jiang Ziya rode on four different sides and passed the Chonghei Tiger.
His clothes were moving in the wind, and his eyes were sometimes serious and sometimes piercing. He looked ahead, swung the magic whip in his hand towards the sky, and said coldly:
"Doctor Shen, where are you going? Now that you've arrived at Xiqi, why don't you let Shang continue his friendship as a landlord?"
Chong Heihu and Nangong Shi were overjoyed to see Jiang Ziya at this moment. They ignored Doctor Shen and hurriedly came forward to worship:
"The general will respectfully welcome the Prime Minister. Now, Shen Xin has been surrounded here and is waiting for the Prime Minister's death."
After that, he glared coldly in the direction of Dr. Shen and shouted:
"Shen Xin, the Prime Minister's army has arrived, let's see how capable you are of escaping Xiqi?"
Chong Heihu was now extremely confident because he felt that victory was already within his grasp. Shen Xin would never be able to escape from this situation and would definitely die.
Seeing this, Doctor Shen ignored Chong Heihu, but also smiled coldly at Jiang Ziya and said: "Prime Minister Jiang, at this stage, why do you still need to be pretentious? Shen Xin is here, so come and kill me!"
In a word, stop beeping and act quickly. Be impulsive once again.
If this were in my house, I would have been beaten to death long ago.
Following Dr. Shen's expectations, Jiang Ziya's performance did not disappoint him.
Because what happened today was actually completely beyond Jiang Ziya's expectation. He really didn't expect that his plan would fail inexplicably. Not only did Shen Xin almost escape, but he also kidnapped the princess of Xiqi.
Nowadays, let alone planning, he has completely lost his face.
It was a complete failure and the result was a complete loss.
Now that things have become so big, it is no longer realistic to trap Shen Xin back in Xiqi.
In order to prevent the Yin Shang people from reacting and leading the army to help, Jiang Ziya could only make up his mind.
"Doctor Shen, since you don't want to choose Xiqi's consort and want to go against fate, then don't blame me for being rude!"
At this point, Jiang Ziya had a cold look on his face and had obviously made a decision.
Sure enough, after saying this, he said without hesitation:
"Generals, listen to the order and join me in capturing Shen Xin. We don't care whether he is alive or dead, but we must not let him go back to Yin Shang!"
Hearing this, Dr. Shen just felt that it was so pleasant to hear. Jiang Ziya was so complimentary. He was such a good person.
When I turn around and wait for this doctor to become a saint, I will reward you with two kilograms of sweet potatoes for burning.
But at this moment, as Jiang Ziya's words fell, the rest of Xiqi's people had not yet taken action, but Chong Heihu could not help but step out arrogantly.
He pointed at Doctor Shen and Huang Tianxiang, and felt that he was really happy today, so happy that the enemy he had longed for was finally going to be killed by his own hands at this moment.
Revenge, I finally want revenge.
None of you should steal this great opportunity from me.
Chong Heihu glanced warily at the motionless Xiqi generals, waved his hand, and immediately shouted loudly in the direction of Doctor Shen.
"The whole army obeys the order!"
"According to the order of the Prime Minister, I will capture and kill Shen Xin regardless of his life or death!"
"For Xiqi!"
In a short period of time, following Jiang Ziya's order, Xiqi's army moved quickly like a war machine, followed by the sound of weapons clashing, horses roaring, and deafening shouts of killing coming from all directions.
At this moment, facing such a scene, the guards around Dr. Shen already felt desperate.
It’s over! Today there is no way we can escape even if we go to heaven or on earth.
However, Doctor Shen had no fear at all at this moment. He did not retreat but advanced. While comforting everyone, he took a step forward and faced the Zhou army that filled the mountains and plains.
Chong Heihu could hardly wait any longer, and his confidence was overwhelming. Facing Dr. Shen, he gripped his newly made sword and slashed forward. The sword's blade activated Gang Qi and instantly emitted light.
"Watch me kill Shen Xin and achieve great success!"
In the eyes of Chong Heihu, only Shen Xin and the dozens of people could fight. Except for Huang Tianxiang, no one could fight him. Behind him was Prime Minister Jiang, and behind Prime Minister Jiang were dozens of Xiqi generals and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. How could Shen Xin be so useless? That's right.
Look at each other, he must be scared out of his wits now.
Then Shen Xin actually dared to stop Huang Tianxiang from throwing his bow and arrow at me?
That's right, it's a smash!
Chong Heihu noticed that Dr. Shen seemed to be frightened. He grabbed a long bow from Huang Tianxiang's hand without pulling the string or nocking an arrow, and just swung it over without thinking.
Use a long bow to block a knife. If you can think of it, what are you going to do? Does strength work wonders?
Hahaha!
Shen Xin's current appearance was really ridiculous. What could an arrow without drawing a bow do? It was like a mantis using its arms as a chariot.
It seems that he is frightened by the current scene, he is simply a madman!
Chong Heihu narrowed his eyes at this moment, and then the long knife in his hand made a sharp crack.
It was just a bow and arrow, so it had no power. Chong Heihu didn't avoid it because it didn't look like a threat. It was just an ordinary long bow.
However, the next second, Chong Heihu's expression changed drastically.
"Kacha!"
The long knife in his hand seemed to make a shattering sound...
Then, with everyone stunned, Chong Heihu was shattered by the long bow and the sword in his hand was shattered, and he flew out without any surprise.
The whole place was silent now, and everyone was a little surprised. So this is how bows and arrows are played?
Suddenly, even Xiqi's rushing steps slowed down for a moment.
Doctor Shen was trembling in his heart when he saw Zhou Jun's appearance. What a good opportunity he just had, how could he miss it?
In fact, even he himself did not expect this result at all, because Doctor Shen's original intention was to stop Huang Tianxiang.
Who would have thought that he would cripple Chong Heihu? This is all a misunderstanding!
Now that there is no use in thinking about it, he has no choice but to activate Plan B. Doctor Shen took the opportunity to stand still and calm down.
I saw him holding the seemingly playful long bow horizontally, pointing at Jiang Ziya in the air, and at the same time shouted in a slightly hoarse voice to the Zhou Jun who were surrounded by water:
"If you want to take a step forward, Shen Xin's corpse will step over you!"
…
