Chapter 188: Tweaking the tiger away from the mountain and taking advantage of it
Inside Beian City.
The chaos continues.
Just when Yu Qingzhou was admiring his masterpiece, he saw the sound of bowstrings being stretched out on the street.
Thousands of arrows rained down from all directions.
A hazy mist and rain that seemed to contain death enveloped the streets and alleys, and all places with fire.
The rain of arrows poured down, and above the fierce firelight, there was a cold light shining.
Dude dusk~~~
Crossbow arrows fell one after another, either on the street, on the eaves of the roof, or on the crazy people.
In an instant, wailing sounds echoed throughout Bei'an City.
Seeing this scene, Yu Qingzhou did not show any nervousness or disappointment, but a sneer flashed in his eyes.
What is supposed to come has come!
He sneered silently, as if he had the pleasure of succeeding in his conspiracy.
The next moment, he looked towards the cornices below.
At some point, a figure appeared on the eaves.
Not just one, but many black-clothed and masked figures appeared around the inn. They were either standing on the roof or sitting on the treetops.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi looked a little embarrassed.
"Are you using me?"
Yu Qingzhou spread his hands helplessly and said, "No, it's just that our whereabouts seem to have been exposed!"
Lu Zhi looked at him with cold eyes.
Exposed!
He has been by Yu Qingzhou's side since he came to Kyoto. If he is exposed, it will be Yu Qingzhou's exposure.
But tonight, Yu Qingzhou insisted on asking him to come to Bei'an City. He didn't feel anything was wrong before, but now it seems that Yu Qingzhou obviously wants to divert trouble to the east.
"Brother Lu, you won't be frightened by such a small scene, right?" Yu Qingzhou said with a half-smile.
Lu Zhi stood in front of the window, looking at the situation below, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
"Seven innate warriors!"
There were only four innate warriors in the inn in front of him, he, Yu Qingzhou and two innate warriors from the southeastern islands.
What they have to face are Dali's seven innate warriors.
Yu Qingzhou looked at him with a smile and said, "This is really just a small scene."
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhi looked at him and asked.
Yu Qingzhou said: "Because the big show tonight is not here, but in the Imperial City of Kyoto!"
Lu Zhi glared, "You want to kill Emperor Li!"
"That's natural!" Yu Qingzhou smiled, very happily.
"He is going to die, why kill him?" Lu Zhi asked.
"The earlier he dies, the weaker Dali will be. The more sudden his death, the more chaotic Dali will be!" Yu Qingzhou said.
Lu Zhi frowned and said nothing.
Outside the inn, firelight and night intertwined. Eunuch Lu was walking slowly from the noisy street with a fly whisk in one hand.
He looked up at the third floor of the inn and saw Yu Qingzhou and Lu Zhi standing by the window, with endless sparkle and ferocity in their deep eyes.
…
The four major city guards are in chaos, and the 800,000 imperial troops around Kyoto have all entered a wartime state.
Most of the Imperial Guards were assembled in camps outside the city, and approximately 200,000 Imperial Guards entered the four major fortresses.
Fifty thousand forbidden troops in each city, with cold iron armor and pale weapons, shuttled through the streets and alleys of the four major cities, chasing the villains who set fire to them.
At the same time, a large number of spies from the Imperial City Division are slowly emerging to cooperate with the imperial army in the roundup.
In Kyoto City, in the Incense Pavilion.
From time to time, warriors in powerful attire would come up to the pavilion and whisper in Xiao Shunzi's ear.
Qin Wei and Ji Yuanchen once again sat on both sides of the chessboard, playing chess.
Ji Yuanchen played this game of chess a little absent-mindedly.
However, Qin Wei was very meticulous in his decisions and would think carefully about every move he made.
"Your Highness, the unrest in the four major cities has been brought under control!" Xiao Shunzi reported.
"Oh! Has the plague issue been resolved?" Qin Wei asked in surprise.
Xiao Shunzi shook his head and said: "No, it's just that the imperial army has entered the city and is cleaning up the crazy people."
Qin Wei lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this.
Are you cleaning up the crazy people?
After being hit by the Chaos God Man's Gypsophila, it's not that you can't save it, you just need to spend a little more medicinal materials and energy to save it.
But Lihuang didn't seem to have any intention of rescuing them.
"Let Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen prepare and go to the four major cities tomorrow."
Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen had arrived in Kyoto three days ago, along with a batch of medicinal herbs sent from Tianzhou.
The time was too short, and Qin Wei was unable to transport medicinal herbs from Shuzhou, so he had to start from Tianzhou.
"Here!"
Xiao Shunzi responded, then retreated to the door and gave a few instructions to the guard next to him.
"Can Your Highness cure this plague?" Ji Yuanchen asked.
Qin Wei nodded, "Although this plague spreads quickly, it is not difficult to cure. Not only can I cure it, but so can the Governor's Mansion and the Imperial Hospital."
Ji Yuanchen said nothing.
He already understood what Qin Wei meant.
Both the Dudu Mansion and Imperial Hospital can treat it, but now the imperial army is still massacring those people, which shows that Emperor Li has given up on those people.
"Your Highness, there seems to be something unusual around the Imperial City!"
At this time, Xiao Shunzi came to Qin Wei again and said.
Qin Wei suddenly raised his head and said, "Are you sure?"
"The specific situation cannot be confirmed at the moment. Luo Wang just said that there are many hidden warriors around the imperial city." Xiao Shunzi said.
Qin Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Their goal is not the four major city guards, but the imperial city!
This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Under normal circumstances, if you want to invade the imperial city, it is definitely more difficult than climbing to the sky.
There are Tianwu Guards within the imperial city, and major government offices outside the imperial city. There are a large number of noble families and official families living around the imperial city, and there is also Qing Fushan.
To put it bluntly, within three miles of the Imperial City, if you throw a brick casually, the person you hit might be a seventh-grade or above warrior.
If you shout loudly, you may attract a group of ninth-grade warriors to watch. If you dare to approach the gate of the imperial city, you have already entered the sight of the innate warriors.
It is simply a foolish dream for foreign enemies to invade the imperial city.
But why is the other party so confident?
Qin Wei was a little puzzled, a little confused, and a little shocked.
Ji Yuanchen's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Do you know how many people Qing Fushan sent out?" Qin Wei asked.
"have no idea!"
"Luo Wang has no contact person in Qingfu Mountain," Xiao Shunzi said.
Although Ye Gucheng was in Qingfu Mountain, Zhao Gao never arranged manpower inside Qingfu Mountain because he really couldn't arrange it.
The people who live in Qingfu Mountain are all innate masters. Apart from their disciples and relatives, there are almost no outsiders and even few servants.
Qin Wei frowned slightly and looked at Zhuge Zhengwo.
"Mr. Zhuge, does Zhenwu Division have any remaining men tonight?"
Zhuge Zhengwo replied: "Yes, the two thousand households in the city have not been dispatched."
With so many things happening around Kyoto, it is natural that Zhenwusi cannot be idle. In fact, Zhenwusi is the busiest yamen in the court during this period.
With so many warriors gathered inside and outside Kyoto, and all kinds of battles going on, it's strange that the Zhenwu Division can be idle.
"Then take action!"
Qin Wei ordered.
Although there are no innate masters in the Zhenwu Division, those soldiers are all warriors with strong cultivation. They cannot interfere in the battles between innate warriors, but they can clean up the minions, and at the same time, they can also play a role in alerting the enemy.
"Let me go there myself," Zhuge Zhengwo said solemnly.
Qin Wei nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Zhuge Zheng and I left.
Qin Wei stood up and stood in front of the window, looking towards the direction of the imperial city.
Fenxiang Pavilion is not far or near from the Imperial City, about four or five miles away. Standing on Fenxiang Pavilion, you can vaguely see the roofs and cornices of the Imperial City.
…
Shengtian Hall, inside the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Li had already put down the memorial.
The memorials can never be finished, but Emperor Li was tired of reading them.
He leaned on the soft couch, his eyes slightly closed, and seemed to have fallen asleep, but the jade pendant in his hand proved that he was not asleep yet.
"Are those people coming?"
In the quiet study room, Emperor Li suddenly spoke.
"It should be coming!"
The figure in the corner said.
"It's good to come, it's good to come!" Lihuang's voice was very floating and weak.
In the shadows, a pair of deep eyes looked at him, and their eyes seemed to contain worries.
"If your Majesty is tired, you can go to bed first."
"Haha~"
"No, I don't want to sleep now because I'm afraid I won't wake up."
Emperor Li smiled.
The man didn't speak, perhaps because he knew that Emperor Li was really afraid.
…
Bei'an City, in the inn.
Eunuch Lu jumped up on the street, flicked the whisk in his hand, and stood on the roof next to the inn.
"Those who dare to cause trouble in Dali should be killed!"
The hoarse voice broke the silence of the night and surrounded the alleys around the inn.
The next moment, streams of concentrated energy suddenly flew towards the third floor of the inn.
Bang bang bang~~
The powerful energy flew and instantly destroyed everything in the inn into rubble.
In a burst of dust, the entire inn collapsed.
"Haha~~~"
"Old eunuch, if you want to kill me, your strength is far behind!"
Yu Qingzhou flew out of the smoke.
At the same time, Lu Zhi and others also jumped out.
More than ten people gathered together and looked at the figures wearing black cloaks around them with vigilance.
Take life!
The sharpest knife in the hand of Emperor Li.
The most terrifying killer hidden within the Imperial City Division.
The No. 1 killer organization in the world, the Bloody Clothes Building, is nothing but a chicken and a dog in front of those who take orders.
Even the Six Holy Lands may not be able to defeat the life taker.
Because there are innate warriors among the recipients, and there are more than just one.
Imperial City Admiral Lu Eunuch is the boss of the order takers, and there are three leaders under him, all of whom are innate masters.
Of course this includes Cao Zhengchun.
And this time it was not just the order takers, but also three innate warriors from Qingfu Mountain.
Only Lihuang could dispatch seven innate warriors at once to Dali, all the forces surrounding Dali, including the Southeast Islands.
Perhaps Yu Qingzhou also brought many innate warriors this time, but there are only a few innate warriors that he can really command.
"Take it down and don't let any one go!"
Eunuch Lu said coldly.
As his words fell, the swords rang out, and the clanging sound echoed through the night.
The light and shadow of swords filled the surrounding world in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Lu, this time it's up to you!"
Yu Qingzhou smiled lightly.
Lu Zhi's face was extremely gloomy and he didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
Obviously, this time he acted as a shield for Yu Qingzhou.
As a strong person in the three innate realms, it was impossible for him not to be angry when he was teased like this.
But he knew better that now was not the time to worry about this with Yu Qingzhou.
Clang!
The horizontal sword at the waist was suddenly unsheathed, and a flash of white sword light appeared in the sky, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, sweeping away the sword lights and shadows flying around.
"Yu Qingzhou, we will settle this account later!"
Lu Zhi said coldly.
At the same time, he leaped up and slashed down at the incoming innate warrior.
The strong sword light was like the roar of thunder, exploding in the sky.
The innate warrior opposite him was an innate warrior from Qingfu Mountain. His cultivation level was not high, and he was only in the innate realm.
Seeing that the sword was about to fall on him, the innate warrior stepped back without hesitation.
But when he retreated, Lu Zhi gained the upper hand and bullied him, and Lu Zhi was faster.
Just when the blade was about to fall on the head of the innate warrior, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Bang!
The thick true energy blocked Lu Zhi's sword light like a wall.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Although this sword was not executed with all his strength, the person who could block his sword was definitely not an easy person.
It is absolutely impossible to achieve the first level of innateness, and it is also difficult to achieve the second level of innateness.
He looked at the eunuch in front of him who was wearing a purple robe and a gauze hat, and his eyes couldn't help but show a solemn look.
"Dali is really full of talents. Even a eunuch has such a high level of cultivation?"
Cao Zhengchun grinned and said: "Our family only knows a few tricks, but we cannot be called talents!"
"But we, Dali, are in need of talents like you. How about joining our family in the imperial city?"
"..."
Lu Zhi's face stiffened.
Enter the imperial city!
He really wants to go.
But he didn't want to go with the eunuch in front of him.
"court death!"
Sweeping the sword horizontally, Xiong Lie's sword light came towards Cao Zhengchun with a light blue brilliance.
Cao Zhengchun didn't show any weakness, he slapped his palms continuously, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were fighting in a melee.
Lu Zhi's strength is very strong. Even among the strong men in the three innate realms, he should be outstanding.
If an ordinary strong man from the three innate realms faced him, he would not necessarily be his opponent.
But he was facing Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Zhengchun's strength is a little confusing. Now his artistic conception has just entered the second state, that is, he has just understood the meaning of the palm, but his true energy is so strong that it is a bit scary.
No matter how strong the opponent's artistic conception is, as long as he cannot break through Cao Zhengchun's strong true energy, it will be difficult to defeat him in a short time.
The two of them collided one after another, while others were also fighting together.
For a moment, the area around the inn fell into chaos.
On the roof next to Eunuch Lu, he watched all this with cold eyes.
His eyes were always on Yu Qingzhou, his deep eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
