"Lord Lian, the General Guan below has a strange look on his face and seems a little strange." Ying Wugou did not dare to be disrespectful to the Minister of War, and said truthfully, "Now that the south gate of the imperial capital is being attacked, there is no guarantee that the enemy will not attack the west gate. We must guard against it. Please also ask General Rong Mo to have a few words with him."
"The army below is clearly General Guan Lin of Xiqi Province. Are you kidding me that I don't recognize him?" Lian Juecheng frowned and said displeased, "It's normal for him to be a little tired after coming from a long way. How can it be called weird? I'm afraid General Ying is overly concerned."
Ying Wugou was very upset at being robbed by him. Although the Minister of War was in charge of the empire's military affairs, he did not directly command the troops. Lian Juecheng's random command was already suspected of overstepping his bounds.
However, before he could explain, Lian Juecheng said again: "It just so happens that I have come here to replace the West Gate guard on His Majesty's order. General Ying, the Tiger Guards at the West Gate will no longer be under your command." ”
The tone was very rude, and she didn't give him any face at all.
"Oh, but I don't know which general your Majesty will appoint to replace Ying?" Ying Wugao asked calmly.
"Your Majesty's newly appointed general to defend the city is none other than General Lian Yunfei behind me." Lian Juecheng actually pointed to his eldest son, Lian Yunfei, beside him.
"Absurd!" Ying Wugou said angrily, "Although Young Master Lian is strong in cultivation, he is not a soldier, and he has never led an army. How could Your Majesty give him the important task of guarding the imperial capital?"
"General Ying, are you questioning my words?" Lian Juecheng narrowed his eyes and his tone became a little colder.
"What Master Lian said is really unbelievable." Ying Wugao said loudly, "Please also show us His Majesty's imperial edict, otherwise Shu Mo will not be able to agree with it."
"In emergencies, you should do extraordinary things." Lian Juecheng shook his head and said decisively, "From now on, General Lian Yunfei will be responsible for guarding the west city gate. General Lian and General Waitouguan have worked hard to transport the tax money. Come here, don't let him wait too long, and quickly order the city gate to be opened."
Ying Wugao was about to argue when he suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from below, and everyone looked around after hearing the sound.
Guan Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spurred his horse forward and roared at the top of his lungs: "Don't open the door, these people behind are Liangshan bandits!!!"
"Damn it!" The general who was following him did not expect that Guan Lin would risk his life and make such a move. He was caught off guard and was thrown several feet away by him. He couldn't help but flew into a rage. He jumped up suddenly and hovered. In mid-air, he swung out a palm with his right hand, and the terrifying palm force hit Guan Lin's vest, knocking him to the ground easily.
He is actually a spiritual leader!
"Fire the arrow!" Ying Wuguo was shocked and ordered hurriedly.
The archers on top of the city tower heard the sound and moved. They opened their bows and set arrows. The arrows like raindrops "swish, swish" and shot at the enemy spirit master standing in the air. They were densely packed like a plague of locusts.
However, he also encountered the same dilemma as South Gate guard Zuo Tianming.
As early as a few days ago, the spirit-breaking archers of the west city gate defenders had been transferred away by Lianjue City. At this time, these ordinary arrows flying in the sky were simply insignificant to the spirit master, and they could not cause any harm at all. harm.
I saw the Lingzun boss disguised as a general raising his hands slightly from the left and right sides, with a faint smile on his face.
The countless arrows fired by the Tiger Guards at the top of the city seemed to hit an invisible wall and stopped for an instant. A moment later, they fell freely like frightened birds. None of them could come within three feet of him.
Lian Juecheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at the spiritual master hanging in the air quietly without any hint of panic, but instead there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
At this time, the spirit leader in the air stretched out his arms, and the general's uniform wrapped around him fell apart and flew in all directions, revealing the black outfit underneath and the face with a devilish smile.
"It's the Spirit Lord Song Hai from the Liangshan realm." A white-haired old man standing next to Ying Wugu stared at the black-clothed Spirit Lord for a long time and then suddenly said.
The old man had been at the scene all along, and he was not wearing any armor. His clothing style was incompatible with everyone around him, but he seemed to have no sense of existence. Lian Juecheng actually didn't notice his existence until now.
"It turns out they are Liangshan bandits." Ying Wugou said with a look of surprise on his face, "Fortunately, I didn't let them into the city rashly before."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced over Lian and his son intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning was self-evident.
Lian Juecheng looked calm, clearly making a mistake in judgment, but there was no trace of guilt on his face.
Song Hai Lingzun showed his true face, and without any hesitation, a big knife appeared in his hand. He slashed at the defenders of the city tower with a horizontal sword. His spiritual power turned into a dazzling giant blade in the air, and went straight towards Ying Wugou and others. The blade was wide. It was tens of feet long, and it was intended to kill all the soldiers above the city wall in one fell swoop. The giant blade carried the momentum of sweeping the world, giving the Tiger Guard soldiers a suffocating feeling as if doomsday was coming.
As if Lian Juecheng and his son had expected it, they retreated a certain distance in advance and placed themselves in a safe area.
"Senior Tu, you've got your work done." Ying Wugou did not panic, but said respectfully to the white-haired old man beside him.
"Hey!" The old man sighed, stretched his right palm forward, and actually manifested a huge silver shield in the air, standing upright, blocking the entire city tower behind him. The author of Song Hai's giant blade slashed on the spiritual shield. On the top, one was attacking with overwhelming force, while the other was defending with impregnable strength. Under the collision of spiritual powers, a deafening sound erupted, but they were all blocked by the giant shield, and did not cause much harm to the soldiers on the tower.
Perhaps the power of the giant blade was too terrifying, and the spiritual shield released by the old man surnamed Tu finally became unable to hold up, and cracks began to appear.
With the sound of "click", the cracks on the shield gradually spread until it covered the entire surface, and it was about to shatter. The momentum of the giant blade finally ran out, and the strong light turned into dots of spiritual dust floating up into the sky, disappearing. .
"There is actually a spiritual master?" Venerable Song Hai was obviously surprised. "What do you call me?"
"Tu Erxing, the elder of the Chongling Sect in Yunjin Province, has met Venerable Song Hai." The white-haired old man replied respectfully, "Tu Erxing" in a very humble tone.
"Chong Ling Sect? Tu Er Xing?" Venerable Song Hai searched his guts and couldn't recall this sect or its name. "There is actually a spiritual master in the Daqian Empire that I haven't heard of?"
"Our Chongling Sect is not a top sect. It has been less than two months since Tu was promoted to Spirit Master. It is only natural that Master Song Hai has never heard of it." Tu Erxing said kindly.
"It turns out that he is a newly promoted spiritual master. With you in charge, it won't be long before the Chongling Sect will definitely be ranked among the top sects. Why bother to go through this muddy water?" Venerable Song Hai heard that he was a newly promoted spiritual master. , a hint of contempt appeared in his eyes, "If you accidentally fall here, wouldn't it ruin the chance of the sect's rise?"
"How can Tu be a nosy person?" Tu Erxing said with a bitter smile, "I am only here today because of the help of the Li family. If I don't repay this kindness, I'm afraid it will create inner demons in my future practice. .”
"Li Jiuye, who has always only suppressed the cultivation sect, can actually change his gender?" Venerable Song Hai was stunned when he heard this, and then snorted coldly, "Since you are stubborn and ineffective, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."
"General Ying, Tu has only been promoted for a short period of time, and he has not yet fully mastered the power of the Spirit Lord. I am afraid that he is no match for this person." Tu Erxing showed a bitter look on his face, "I will try to delay as much time as possible, and please go to the imperial city as soon as possible to ask for help. .”
After saying that, he jumped into the air and stood opposite Venerable Song Hai.
The two looked at each other and disappeared into the air at the same time with great tacit understanding, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, the troops below simply stopped pretending, took up weapons and began to attack the city gate. The aura of the practitioners was released, and there were actually many Heavenly Wheel masters among them.
"Fire the arrow!"
Ying Wugao issued the order again, and another overwhelming wave of arrows rained down from the city tower, making the offensive even more fierce than before.
After all, the "heroes" of Liangshan are bandits in the mountains. Although they are proficient in mountain and forest warfare, they know nothing about the serious siege of a city. This random sprint not only resulted in a chaotic formation, uncontrolled advance and retreat, but also trampled and interfered with each other, and they had not yet approached the city. When they opened the door, many people were killed by the rain of arrows from the sky.
"Do it!" Seeing that the Liangshan bandits were defeated, Lian Juecheng, who was hiding behind, suddenly said.
A white figure moved upon hearing the sound, and rushed towards Ying Wugou who was sitting in command as fast as lightning. His right palm turned into a claw and struck directly at the back of his head.
Ying Wugou suddenly turned around and punched out as if he had expected it, and he collided hard with the palm of the attacker.
"You really have a ghost!" Under Newton's law, the two of them took a step back at the same time. Ying Wugou looked at Lian Yunfei, who was fluttering in white clothes in front of him, and said, "I didn't expect that the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War actually colluded with the Liangshan gangsters. "
Just now, Lian Juecheng behaved abnormally, which had long made him suspicious. He had been secretly wary of the father and son, and now that they were attacked again, he was finally convinced that the Minister of War, Lian Jue, had participated in the rebellion and had become an enemy of the Li family.
"Why can't you die honestly?" Lian Yunfei's eyes flashed with a fierce look, "It's really troublesome."
With that said, he used his famous skill "Plum-breaking Hand", jumped forward again, and started fighting with Ying Wugou head-on.
"Protect the general!" When Ying Wugou's lieutenant saw that the commander was attacked, he quickly drew his sword and rushed forward with several people, wanting to surround Lian Yunfei.
Lian Juecheng sneered, and two figures suddenly appeared behind him, holding swords and blocking the lieutenant.
The swords in the two men's hands stabbed rapidly, turning into streams of light in the air, and within a moment, all the soldiers who came to rescue were stabbed to the ground.
Four heavenly wheels!
Ying Wugou finally changed his expression. He knew that Lian Juecheng himself was also a Heavenly Wheel master, and with the addition of Lian Yunfei and the two swordsmen, his soldiers might not be able to break through the blockade of these people and rush to him.
What frightened him even more was Lian Yunfei's unparalleled fighting power. He unfolded his set of "plum-breaking hands" like an antelope hanging its horns, and it was completely unpredictable. He would know after a few moves. You are definitely not its enemy.
When he was about to escape, there were three heavenly wheel masters watching him. Ying Wugou was secretly anxious, but he was helpless and helpless.
"boom!"
Distracted, his moves became even more chaotic, and Lian Yunfei soon caught the opportunity and hit his chest with a palm.
Ying Wugao felt his spiritual energy stagnate, and his body fell into a brief state of paralysis. He could only watch without any resistance as Lian Yunfei's right palm slapped his Tianling Gai.
Seeing that the general who was guarding the city was about to die, a sword suddenly came from nowhere and struck Lian Yunfei's heart and soul. The sword was so clever that he could only save the enemy when he attacked him, forcing him to retreat continuously and no longer care about facing Ying. Wu Gu kills in pain.
Immediately afterwards, a white shadow suddenly appeared and stood in front of Ying Wugu.
"It's you!" Looking at the handsome and energetic young man in front of him, Lian Yunfei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, with endless hatred in his eyes.
Prince Wu Li Qing.
A man he could only dream of defeating.
A man who made him, the once proud man of heaven, fall from the altar and become a laughing stock.
