Chapter 495: End of the War
On the abandoned training ground, Xiu Qi, Jiang Wen and others hurried over after watching the situation outside the battlefield.
There were piles of corpses inside and outside the field, and blood gathered into rivers and solidified on the ground.
The guard was standing beside Xiu Qi, the long sword in his hand was stained with hot blood. It was a sword stained with the blood of a foreign race, a symbol of honor.
Although many imperial guards fought desperately to protect the place, there were many powerful tribesmen on the training ground, and many of them were injured. After all, Taicang had been peaceful for thousands of years, and some people had already lost their fighting spirit.
Jiang Wenjie and Jiang Wen walked side by side. Xiu Qi glanced at Jiang Wenjie with a serious expression.
Although Xiuqi was covered in blood at the moment, Jiang Wen was not worried about his safety at all, because he knew that with Xiuqi's level of cultivation, this situation would not be able to do anything to him.
"His Majesty the Heavenly King was suddenly assassinated. I didn't expect that there were spies in the army. It's really hard to guard against." Xiu Qi looked at the chaotic situation around him.
There was a coldness in his fierce eyes. Even if he had not been on the battlefield for ten thousand years, his courage alone was enough to scare everyone away.
"It seems that some people's goal is not just His Majesty the Heavenly King. If we are not careful today, the entire Taicang Central Region will probably fall into chaos. At that time, it will be a real misfortune for Taicang."
General Qinglong on the side snorted.
"There are so many generals gathered at this training ground. If we can really take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
Xiu Qi listened to General Qinglong's words without saying anything, but just wiped the sword edge with a towel.
"How many people in Taicang have the means to set up such a tight net?"
Baimu Hou frowned and said, as they talked a little, they walked to the viewing platform and saw General Suzaku approaching with his guards.
Several people looked around with serious expressions. Most of the imperial guards who had been guarding the King of Heaven were injured at this moment.
Looking at the wounds of these people, they were all injured in places that are not easy to be stabbed.
If it weren't for the rebellion and backstabbing by the insiders, the imperial guards wouldn't have been so easily damaged even if they faced these foreign monsters.
Standing on the viewing platform, everyone looked at the trembling imperial guard in front of them. When he came out from the corner and knelt on the ground to plead guilty, Xiu Qi wanted to chop him with a knife.
"We are the imperial guards of Taicang Tianyuan City! But you allowed the rebels to sneak in at will! You gave me such a big surprise?!"
The specially made token hit the forehead of the imperial guard. He said with a pale and trembling face: "Hou Zun, it's us. We failed in our duty."
"Negligence? You call this negligence?! You are making a fool of the Imperial Guards for the world! The elite troops who are responsible for protecting Tianyuan City and guarding the Heavenly King are deserting the battlefield!"
All the imperial guards present bowed their heads and kept silent. No one dared to speak out at this time. Although they were usually proud, they knew that they could not defend themselves no matter what.
"Taicang's imperial guards! They were once the most elite army! They just casually sent people to escape and cooperated with the thieves from inside and outside!"
Xiuqi's face turned pale. He never thought that this group of people would be so rampant.
Without the help of powerful people in the royal city, it would be extremely difficult for that group of aliens to get close to the imperial guards.
Not to mention placing traitors among the imperial guards.
You should know that this imperial army is the last line of defense of Tianyuan City, and most of them are succeeded by some tribesmen. The requirements for background are extremely strict, and even ordinary people with good reputations find it difficult to join.
Now it's like a sieve.
Xiu Qi glanced at the guard commander of the Imperial Guards. This commander of the Imperial Guards was just a scapegoat while those masterminds behind the scenes were still watching the show from behind.
"Where is the military supervisor?"
"I am here." The military supervisor stepped forward and said.
"Take this man away and deal with him according to military methods." Xiu Qi waved his hand, and then two guards dragged the imperial guard general away from the observation deck like a dead dog.
"Yes!" the military supervisor said solemnly.
"Let's go in." Xiu Qi said seriously.
As everyone walked into the tent where the king was recuperating.
At this moment, the Heavenly King was lying on the bed, looking pale. Her shoulder was stained with a large amount of blood, which was shocking to the eyes. The pharmacists had already treated her wounds, but because the injuries looked serious, everyone did not dare to neglect them. But after all, the Heavenly King's cultivation was unfathomable, and this injury was nothing to her.
Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If something really happened to the king, this matter would probably be difficult to resolve.
When the king saw everyone coming in, he forced a smile on his face. When he saw Jiang Wenji standing behind him, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. But his expression quickly subsided, and no one could tell that there was anything unusual.
Everyone reported the situation to the Heavenly King, and Xiu Qicai looked at her sternly and said.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The Heavenly King looked at Xiu Qi and said in a weak voice, "Please continue speaking, Lord Wuliang."
"I have discovered a weapon used by my Taicang army among the rebels - the Shennong Crossbow. This Shennong Crossbow has always been a must-have weapon for the Imperial Army. The Heavenly Weapon House must have marked it, but I did not see any mark on it."
"So I request a thorough investigation of this matter to prevent our Taicang secrets from being leaked to the outside world and being held by foreign races."
"Very good. Then I'll leave this matter to you." The king nodded.
Xiu Qi returned to his seat and saw Jiang Wenjie smiling at him from behind, so he nodded in return.
"If there is nothing else, don't disturb the king's rest." Xue said in a gentle voice.
Now that the king is injured, the martial arts performance is in chaos.
As the oldest and most respected person here, she naturally had to step up and take on many responsibilities.
The black-armored soldiers outside are still besieging the observation deck. Although they are kept outside the city walls, they are still a serious threat.
"Yes." The generals responded and walked out of the tents one after another.
Xiu Qi and Jiang Wen walked out side by side, looking at the smoke rising everywhere and said, "I'm afraid there is chaos in Tianyuan City right now, right?"
"Oh." Jiang Wen sighed.
"Troubled times."
The two were silent, only hearing the scout's report coming from not far away.
"Report! General! The aliens in the south have retreated!"
"What happened?" Xiu Qi asked calmly.
"Yes, it's the White Tiger Imperial Guards guarding the south. They are surrounding and joining us here!"
"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly." Xiu Qi was also very surprised. He thought that the approaching White Tiger Guards would be hindered by others and would arrive late. Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, the entire White Tiger Army arrived.
"This is a great thing." Baimu Hou said with a smile. "Now that the attack from the south is over, the only ones left are the bandits from the northwest."
"It seems that this turmoil should be calmed down."
As Xiu Qi was speaking, the two saw Baimu Hou take a spear from the guard and hurriedly run out of the military camp.
"Marquis Baimu, what are you going to do?" Xiu Qi asked.
"I am going to pick up my boy." Baimu Hou said loudly.
He mounted the auspicious beast with flying feathers and led hundreds of cavalrymen out of the camp.
Xiu Qi shook his head at this scene, and even revealed a long-lost smile: "I thought this person didn't care about his kid, but I didn't expect that he kept it in his heart."
Xue, who was standing by, heard this and said calmly, "The Hundred Eyes Marquis has always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
"How could he not care about his precious son?"
After he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
