Zhang Changde has a broad body and heavy steps, and he looks like a beast when sprinting.

The Mingguang Armor on his body, after being polished previously, was now shining with dazzling light.

The remaining rangers all showed fear on their faces, but they could only bite the bullet and push forward!

However, their weapons fell on the Mingguang Armor.

Apart from throwing up a few sparks and adding a few scratches, it couldn't hurt Zhang Changde at all.

On the other hand, Zhang Changde waved the horizontal knife in his hand wantonly.

As long as the weapons of both sides collide, the rangers' weapons will burst into pieces!

If it falls on the rangers, either their hands or feet will be severed, or the wounds will be so deep that the bones can be seen!

Relying on the superiority of his armor, Zhang Changde was able to defeat dozens of warriors one at a time. Not only was he not at a disadvantage, he even beat the rangers back steadily!

Seeing this situation, everyone present felt incredible!

Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage across the board, Yang Zhen suddenly became anxious.

He shouted to the barbarian who had not made any move at the side,

"Why are you still standing there?!"

The barbarians hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ji Lie, ignored Yang Zhen, and quickly retreated out!

This scene really dumbfounded Yang Zhen and others.

What the hell is going on?

Aren’t all the barbarians brave and unafraid of death? Why did they lead them to escape?

Yang Zhen couldn't care less about the Hu people, because Zhang Changde had already eliminated a dozen rangers and rushed towards him.

"Stop him!"

He was shocked and ordered the county soldiers to stop Zhang Changde.

However, the combat power of these county soldiers was extremely weak and they were no match for Zhang Changde.

Like a tiger descending from a mountain, Zhang Changde cut his way to Yang Zhen.

Looking at Zhang Changde, who was covered in blood and looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, Yang Zhen's body trembled and he felt a little weak for a moment.

As soon as he raised his sword, Zhang Changde struck him with a slash!

"Crack!"

Yang Zhen's weapon was also cut into pieces without mercy!

The force of the horizontal knife continued unabated and landed on Yang Zhen's breastplate.

He just felt a huge force coming from him and was knocked to the ground!

Before Yang Zhen could struggle to get up, Zhang Changde took a step forward, stepped heavily on his chest, and put a horizontal knife on his neck!

"The rebel Yang Zhen has been captured, please surrender quickly!"

Seeing Yang Zhen being stepped on by Zhang Changde, the remaining county soldiers all looked panicked.

"It's only a few hundred dollars a month, so there's no need for you to risk your life like this."

Ji Lie slowly stood up and said loudly,

"I know that you were all coerced by Yang Zhen to participate in the rebellion."

"As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, I will never hold you accountable!"

Although these county soldiers were Yang Zhen's cronies, they were not willing to risk their lives for him.

They looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then dropped the weapons in their hands.

Ji Lie nodded to Zhang Changde and signaled to control all the county soldiers!

As soon as the surrendered soldiers were imprisoned, there was another burst of chaotic footsteps outside.

"Who dares to harm the prince!"

With a sharp shout, Yu Jing rushed in leading the way.

Behind him were other county soldiers!

But when he saw Ji Lie and others standing there safe and sound, the smile on Yu Jing's face suddenly froze!

He glanced around and saw that the huge courtyard was filled with the corpses of county soldiers and rangers!

Captain Yang Zhen, on the other hand, was tied up by Wuhua Da, and his mouth was stuffed with rags.

"I didn't expect Yu Changshi to come, but it was quite timely."

Ji Lie looked at Yu Jing with a half-smile.

"My subordinates heard that the prince was attacked and did not dare to neglect, so they specially brought people to rescue him!"

Although he didn't know what happened, Yu Jing knew very well that it was impossible to get rid of Ji Lie given the current situation.

He quickly pretended to be respectful and showed his loyalty to Ji Lie!

"Yu Changshi is indeed a loyal minister!"

Ji Lie gave a thumbs up and praised, then changed the subject,

"What makes Gu sad is that Yang Zhen, as the captain of Youguo, actually intends to murder Gu!"

"Just in case, I plan to take people to search Yang Zhen's mansion to prevent his accomplices from slipping through the net!"

"This... this is not good. It is of great importance. Do you want to report it to the Prime Minister and let us discuss it together?"

Although Yang Zhen's assassination failed and it was a certainty that he was treasonous, Yu Jing still planned to delay the time until Gongsun He arrived!

"Yu Changshi is so reluctant? Could it be that you are his accomplice?"

Ji Lie said coldly.

"No, no, no, my subordinates are loyal to the prince, so how can they get involved?! Please help yourself, prince!"

Yu Jing glanced at Yang Zhen beside him and sighed in his heart.

It's not that I don't help you, I can only blame you for being such a waste!

"very good!"

Ji Lie nodded with satisfaction,

"Let's go with Gu Gu to search Yang Zhen's residence!"

As the third-in-command of Youdi, Yang Zhen's mansion occupies a vast area, with red doors and jade thresholds, and tall buildings and gardens.

Compared with Prince You's Mansion, it is only slightly inferior!

However, the Yang Mansion, which used to be peaceful, has become extremely noisy today.

The guards opened the door and rushed in.

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!

In less than a stick of incense, the Yang family was arrested, and the Yang Mansion fell under the control of the guards!

Ji Lie walked into the Yang Mansion with the steps of disowning her relatives.

"I've met the prince!"

Zhang Changde came forward and said respectfully,

"After our careful search, no accomplices were found in Yang Zhen's house."

"But I found out that he has more than one hundred thousand taels of silver in his house."

"This man is just a captain of a country, but he has so much money. He must be the treasure of the people."

"Therefore, my subordinates suggest that all the money and account books of the Yang family be moved to the prince's palace, and the prince can count them clearly."

Be sensible, young man!

Ji Lie cast an admiring look at Zhang Changde, nodded pretendingly,

"What you said makes sense!"

With a wave of Zhang Changde's hand, the guards began to move boxes of account books, money, and land deeds out.

Looking at the boxes of things, Ji Lie was immediately satisfied.

He was worried about running out of money, so Yang Zhen took the initiative to bring a pillow to his door. He was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with Yang Zhen's family members?"

Zhang Changde asked again.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground in the yard, Ji Lie thought for a moment and said,

"All the men were thrown into jail and treated as treason."

"As for the female relatives, they should be sent to the palace first, and then we can talk about it after being tortured and tortured!"

Zhang Changde cupped his fists and said,

"Here!"

After Ji Lie made the arrangements, he turned around and left, preparing to return home.

As soon as he went out, he saw Gongsun He, Gongsun Qing, Yu Jing and others arriving late!

"Yang Zhen is the captain of Youdi. What does the prince mean by this?"

As soon as Gongsun He got off his horse, he started questioning.
