It should be said that Zhao Wushu was brought out by Huang Qiong and led the army to fight for several years. Although things started a little hastily, there was still no panic at all. A large number of troops and horses, which had already been deployed outside the city and had been prepared for contingency, were mobilized and immediately entered the city to quell the chaos. At the same time, the troops and horses originally in the city were mobilized to surround the Shanchanhou Mansion, which was actually empty, from all sides.
Zhao Wushu, who wanted to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, even pushed the cannon into the city. Except for the troops and horses transferred to the outskirts of the Hou Mansion, some rushed in from the Hou Mansion to reinforce the defenders inside. Some of the troops used cannons and fired several shots at a section of the wall of Shanchanhou Mansion, knocking the wall down directly and swarming in. The speed of the Qi army's reinforcements and the resolute resistance of the defenders in the mansion caught the men in black somewhat off guard.
At this time, under the illumination of a large number of torches, the entire Shanchan Mansion was full of fighting. In order not to leak anyone, Zhao Wushu simply set fire to all the dozen or so bamboo buildings facing the street. In areas where the men in black were densely packed, several thousand-pound cannons were mobilized to fire shrapnel shells made of iron sand. This kind of shotgun made of iron sand is extremely lethal at close range. As soon as the shot went down, the man in black lay down.
The emperor, the concubine and his entourage were in the city, and Zhao Wushu had to resolve the incident as quickly as possible. He was worried that if the delay continued, another accident might happen. Otherwise, let alone the emperor's injured finger, even if one of the concubines was injured, he would not be able to eat and carry it around. Who knows, how many backhands are hidden in this ghost place? In Zhao Wushu's view, solving the problem in the shortest possible time is the key.
Originally, hearing the fierce fighting outside, Huang Qiong planned to go out and direct it in person. But after so many years as a couple, Duan Jin could see his thoughts at a glance and never left him. Even though she was habitually drowsy after getting pregnant, she was so sleepy that she kept nodding her head. But still holding on to his energy, he sat next to Huang Qiong. Duan Jin's move was obviously looking at Huang Qiong and not allowing Huang Qiong to take any risks.
Duan Jin's behavior made Huang Qiong helpless and a little funny. Although he was always thinking about the progress of quelling the rebellion in the city, he was worried that Duan Jin would be harmed, so he had no choice but to hold Duan Jin on his knees. Look again, Duan Miao'er, Qingzi Erluo, Liu's second daughter, Nangong Zhen and Duan Yan'er, etc. are also surrounded by him. They are definitely requested by Duan Jin. He doesn't know whether to protect him or to look at him. Girls, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly.
It's just that Duan Jin took great pains, but still ignored Gao Zhisheng's foundation in Shanchan Mansion. Just when Duan Jin, who was nestled in Huang Qiong's arms, hugged Huang Qiong tightly with his arms because he was afraid that Huang Qiong would go out to take risks. Outside the main hall of the Eastern Capital Palace of Dali, bursts of sneers suddenly came: "I didn't expect that the majestic Emperor Daqi was also very good at tricking Chen Cang in secret."
"Let me tell you, our people searched the entire Hou Mansion but could not find the eldest princess. She was actually transferred to the palace by the emperor. It's a pity that no matter how clever you are, you can't hide from our eyes. You With your Zhang Liang plan, we always have our own ladder to cross the wall. No matter how you hide in the nine heavens, as long as you are still in Shanchan Mansion, you will not be able to hide it from us. I advise you to come out honestly. "
"All we want is our Marquis and the traitor Gao Zhilian. As long as you hand over our Marquis and the traitor, we guarantee that we will not harm His Majesty the Emperor, the two princesses and you all. If you are If you are stubborn, don't blame us for being rude. When the time comes, swords have no eyes. If you hurt anyone, don't blame anyone. If you don't believe it, then try it out. Your status as emperor can scare others. , but it won’t scare us.”
It's just that this guy hasn't finished speaking yet. As the door was kicked open, another voice sneered and said: "Dao Wuji, you talk too much nonsense. Just catch them and use them in exchange for the Marquis. That dog emperor's martial arts is no longer good Gao, can he deal with the three of us by himself? His subordinates have been attracted by the Five Ghosts of Ailao Mountain to the Hou Mansion. What can he do to the rest of us if he is left alone?"
"There is also Princess Yunxiao. Her name of Snake Girl Sword may be famous among others. But in the eyes of my Wuliang Sword Sect, let alone that she is now pregnant and cannot use force. Even if she is not, she is still It’s nothing. The Snake Girl Sword is such a big name. Today I want to see how powerful he is, the legendary Emperor of Daqi who can fight to a close with the Marquis. ability."
As the words fell, three people with different looks appeared in front of Huang Qiong and others. Looking at the three somewhat grotesque people in front of them, Duan Jin and Duan Yan'er couldn't help but take a breath after looking at each other. Among these three people, except for the lama who was in his fifties, there were two, a Confucian and a Beggar. Although they were not familiar with each other, they all knew each other.
If Duan Jin admits his mistake correctly, that Confucian scholar in his sixties is Shu Ma Xingzi, the master of the Wuliang Sword Sect from an extremely mysterious sect in Dali. Few disciples go out to walk in the mountains, and his whereabouts are extremely strange. This Wuliang Sword Sect has always lived in seclusion in Wuliang Mountain, and its disciples rarely appear in the world. The reason why Duan Jin knew this person was that he had entered the palace once and visited her father when her father was still alive.
Back then, the two people once competed in martial arts at the foot of Guanyin Peak on Cangshan Mountain outside Yangjumei City. In that battle thirty years ago, because he had been pampered since he was a child, he was spoiled to the point of being lawless. Due to Duan Jin's super clinginess and coquettishness, Duan Jin, who was lucky enough to watch the battle with his royal brother, was deeply impressed. Although her father was already old in martial arts at that time, his martial arts had reached the pinnacle.
But at that time, he was only about thirty years old, and he was half the age of his father, but he was only slightly inferior. And this is slightly inferior, more due to the lack of experience. After that battle, his father once lamented that at such a young age, this man was able to reach the realm that he had only reached when he was nearly sixty years old. It cannot be achieved simply by studying hard and practicing hard. Even if he delayed practicing martial arts because he was busy with government affairs, it would definitely not be the case.
This person must have excellent bones himself. If given time, five years at most would be enough to catch up with him. Since then, this person has never appeared again. It is also unknown in Dali Kingdom, and no news has been spread. He must have gone back to Wuliang Mountain to practice hard in seclusion. I'm afraid that after thirty years of hard training, this person's martial arts can only be higher, but it will never be that low.
As for the man whose clothes looked shabby and dressed like a beggar, he was from a well-known gang on West Sichuan Road, the Beggar Clan. The rules of this sect are very strange. No matter who enters this sect, even if you are a prince, you must wear beggar's clothes and beg for at least three years. Of course, not all those who enter this gate are beggars. Because this sect is extremely popular in both Sichuan and Sichuan, with followers from all religions and nine schools, many wealthy people from both Sichuan and Sichuan have entered this sect to seek protection.
These entry-level rich people will naturally not wear tattered beggar's clothes. Those people just put patches on inconspicuous parts of their clothes to show that they are disciples of that sect. Although the martial arts of this sect is not very high, most of the so-called masters of this sect are good at concealed weapons. The status of a person in this sect is judged by the small sack on the person's body. The more sacks on the body, the higher the status.
Although Duan Jin didn't recognize the old beggar in beggar's clothes in front of him, he had eight sacks on his body, all of which were small red sacks. Based on Duan Jin's understanding, this person was at least an elder of the Beggar Clan. It's just that Duan Jin didn't know this person, but after hearing Dao Wuji's name, Duan Yan'er couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on her face. He whispered to Duan Jin that this person was the left guardian of the Beggar Clan, and his status in the Beggar Clan was second only to the head of the sect.
It turned out that this person had disappeared ten years ago, and the Beggar Clan had entrusted Ailao Mountain, which had some influence in Dali Kingdom, to help find this person's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, this person turned his back on the Beggar Clan and took refuge in Shanchanhou Mansion at some point. As far as Duan Yan'er knew, this man looked harmless, but his nature was extremely vicious. Moreover, this person is a fishy person. In a beggar's sect, one often commits sexual precepts. A lot of women from Liangchuan were ruined by him in those years.
It is precisely because of the protection of the Beggar Clan that he has repeatedly escaped punishment. Later, this person, for some unknown reason, offended the King of Shu not long after he became a vassal. The King of Shu at that time was so popular that even the Beggar Clan did not dare to protect him. Seeing that the beggars were unable to protect themselves, the man disappeared. This man was the biological uncle of the head of the Beggar Clan, so although the Beggar Clan members said they had given up on him, they actually let him go consciously.
When the Beggars came to Ailao Mountain, they didn't really want to find this person. But I hope that if this person is really hiding in Dali Country, Ailao Mountain can provide him with protection. So that he can avoid the pursuit of the Shu Palace. Although this person's martial arts skills are not very high, his hidden weapons are hard to guard against. Because this person is extremely good at using hidden weapons and is very good at light skills, people in the world give him the nickname Thousand Hands Divine Power.
No one thought that the famous second head of the Beggar Clan would become a lackey of Shanchan Hou Mansion. And obviously, his status in Shanchanhou Mansion is not low. As for the lama, although they didn't know each other, he might be with these two people, and he showed up here arrogantly. Both women knew that he was definitely not a good person. After recognizing the identities of these three people, Duan Jin couldn't help but be surprised.
Because she knew that this was the best among Gao Zhisheng's best friends. Although there are not as many guards deployed in this palace as in Shanchanhou Mansion, they are definitely not few. These three people reached here quietly. There were so many guards, but no sound was heard. This shows the high level of martial arts. Especially that Ma Xingzi, despite his extremely funny name, he is almost unknown in the Tiannan Wulin. But Duan Jin knew clearly that Huang Qiong might not be his opponent now.
Compared to Duan Jin, who had a worried look on his face, Huang Qiong was as expected when he saw these three people: "I thought that Gao Zhisheng, the Shanchanhou who was once so powerful in the south, only has Ba Zhongtai in his hands. Idiot. Looking at Gao Zhisheng now, I am not too disappointed. There are still some capable people in his hands. A few days ago, that idiot Ba Zhongtai wanted to intercept and kill me on the way. It must have been encouraged by you guys so that he could touch me. Know my true identity."
"If it weren't for the instigation from behind, those two people, no matter how stupid they are, would not think that they could rescue Gao Zhisheng from my thousands of troops with just a few hundred remnant troops and a few thousand mobs. .The reason why they got to that point must be that some people did not fulfill their promises. They treated the two of them as chess pieces to test me, and treated the two of them as monkeys."
