At this time, the Four Treasures General Shang Shitu and the Eighth Horse General Xin Wenli, who were defeated in the "Eighty-Four Promotion Tournament", led tens of thousands of elite soldiers, thousands of Qi refiners, and more than 20 great monks to surround them.
The vast courtyard where the anti-king Li Zitong's forces are located.
As the rebel king of Huainan, the Yangzhou City area can also be regarded as Li Zitong's territory or neighbor, so he naturally has certain power and plans.
Hundreds of Qi-refining experts who rebelled against the army, led by Fengming King Li Zitong and the Wu brothers, used the courtyard to confront the Sui army, without any intention of being captured or subject to scrutiny.
Having said that, they are rebels. To be captured without mercy is to surrender to a trap. Conspiracy to rebel is a grave crime against the Nine Tribes!
Being censored...isn't that a joke?!
"The patron king had an order, and the Wu brothers were so mad that they massacred seventy-three members of Liu County Wei's clan just because of unwarranted speculation. The facts are yet to be investigated, but they must cooperate with the investigation. Anyone who disobeys the order...will be killed!"
Master Shang and his disciples, who led the army to surround the courtyard and were in charge of the south, were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they announced their luck loudly and spread throughout the city.
Before the reply fell, Master Shang and his disciples said solemnly:
"Yangzhou's rules are obvious to all. It is forbidden to resolve any personal grudges in the city, which may lead to murder. Violators will be punished. The patron king hopes that all forces will not act out of impulse and rashly intervene or assist those who violate the rules to avoid misunderstandings. We will only punish the evil.
Never disturb the public!"
"Haha... If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother! The imperial court wants to seize the opportunity to encircle and suppress the anti-king in the world, just say so, why use such a poor reason?! The Wu brothers were with me last night, competing in martial arts, and discussing today
In the competition, how can we destroy Liu Xianwei's clan? This is a slander! The imperial court wants to catch the turtle in the jar and take the opportunity to wipe out the rebels in the world..."
Loud laughter echoed throughout the city, and Li Zitong's roar of shock and anger echoed.
"Haha... Yesterday, there were more than ten people who saw the Wu brothers coming to the Wei family in Liu County. There were countless people who saw the Wu brothers going out. Li Zitong told such a ridiculous lie in public without fear of being damaged.
Reputation?"
Master Shang seemed to have expected that Li Zitong would say this, and he couldn't help laughing loudly in response. After a pause, he shouted again:
"Backer Wang Rende, please give me some time to think about it. When the time comes, don't blame me for attacking!"
"The majestic King Fengming can actually lie in public! Alas..."
"It's true that the Wu brothers did go out last night. Many people saw them entering Liu County Wei's house. They were still in disguise, but they didn't expect that they went to exterminate the family..."
"Brother Wu is crazy! You are unworthy of the title of King of Loyalty and Filial Piety!"
"What King Fengming is? His name doesn't live up to his name! The sound of Fengming is the sound of nature, but Li Zitong is full of nonsense, which insults the power of Fengming..."
…
Those who were paying close attention to the progress of the matter immediately started talking. Most of them were in favor of the court camp, and there were many anti-king forces among them. Naturally, they would not accompany the court to perform the show.
Such a situation made Li Zitong look extremely ugly. He did not expect that it would be like this. Everyone seemed to know the secret, which meant that he had lied in public!
"I didn't expect that the patron king, who is famous for his kindness and tolerance, would be so cruel and ruthless. This time I fell into the trap!"
Li Zitong did not refute, but said in deep thought with an ugly face.
It is true that Lieutenant Liu was exterminated, and it is also true that the Wu brothers came to contact him. However, it was not that the Wu brothers were seeking revenge, but that Lieutenant Liu had been secretly bribed by Li Zitong.
"Our forces are close to Jiangdu County. It's natural for the imperial court to find a reason to eradicate us! But I didn't expect that the patron king and the imperial court would be so vicious and use any means to achieve their goals! The only solution now is useless, no one will
I believe we can only break out as soon as possible..."
Wu Yunzhaojun's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, obviously thinking of the fate of the Wu family.
What happened to Liu Xianwei's family made Wu Yunzhao even more convinced that what happened to the Wu family was caused by the imperial court, and the hatred deepened.
After a pause, Wu Yunzhao quickly said without waiting for Li Zitong to say more: "While the conference is in progress, most of the powerful people are gathered at the venue. This is our best opportunity..."
"Now there are over ten thousand elite soldiers surrounding us, and we are surrounded by them. How easy is it to break through? The imperial court is well prepared. If we cannot arouse the common hatred among the heroes, we will have no hope of breaking out!" Li Zitong responded with a wry smile.
The problem now is that their contact with Liu Xianwei was secret and should not be seen in public, but it is also a fact.
After deliberate calculation, the Wu brothers disguised themselves to contact Liu County Lieutenant. Many people were arranged by the court to see them intentionally or unintentionally. Now they can't clean themselves out even if they jump into the mother river!
Ginger is still very spicy!
This time it’s Li Zitong who rebels against the king. Whose turn will it be next time?!
Wu Yunzhao sighed with dissatisfaction: "If we don't break out as soon as possible, what else can we do? The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us!"
Even though they knew the true purpose of the imperial court, they had no way of explaining it, so they had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis in silence. If Li Zitong was still so indecisive as a mother-in-law, he was asking for his own death!
"Wait a minute! I had a happy gathering with Brother Li last night, and the Wu brothers were also present. How can we destroy County Lieutenant Liu's family? The time is not right at all!"
Just when Li Zitong and others were anxious and desperate, and Master Shang and his disciples were about to attack, a loud and rough voice sounded, which made Li Zitong and others' eyes light up and they were overjoyed, but then their faces became gloomy again and changed.
While the voice was answering, a group of tough and violent people, surrounded by a tall, fat man with a fleshy face, looking quite ferocious and cruel, and shocking to everyone, came to the rear of the army led by Master Shang and his disciples.
Not only the fat man in Jinyi, but also the person he brought with him had an astonishing evil spirit and a ferocious aura. He was obviously not a good person!
"King Zhu Can of Garuda?!"
"The Man-Eating King Zhu Can? Why is it him?!"
"King Fengming is actually related to the Cannibal King? Come to think of it, their spheres of influence are adjacent, so it's normal for them to be connected!"
"Can you believe what the cannibal king said? It's obviously fake!"
"Maybe, you two are kings after all, there is no need to damage your credibility and reputation like this!"
…
The crowd of onlookers suddenly began to whisper again, with various opinions.
What is certain is that in terms of bad name, bad name, and notoriety, the cannibal king Zhu Can is the first among all the anti-kings. The name of the cannibal king is not for nothing, and he is a true cannibal, not a general reference.
Of course, there is also a saying that the cannibal king Zhu Can has practiced an ancient and strange skill, and can use the method of cannibalism to overcome heaven and earth to enhance his own cultivation strength, so he has to eat people, but cannibalism is always a fact.
Master Shang and his disciples were stunned for a moment, then yelled in disgust and annoyance: "Don't talk nonsense, the actions of the Wu brothers are obvious to all and can be seen by countless people!"
"Isn't it enough that I, the king, and hundreds of children under his command have testified?"
Zhu Can, however, looked down upon the Sui army and shouted angrily. He paused and sneered: "Or... the patron king had another plan. As King Fengming said, he wanted to punish the righteous people in the city with the crime he wanted!
