Chapter 320 Why did you mess with that guy's woman when you could mess with anyone else? (6K monthly ticket requested)
"Still not getting up?"
"Need me to repeat it again?"
The deputy general of the vanguard army glanced down and his voice turned cold.
Xu Xiangdong, who was kneeling on the ground, had a conflicted look in his eyes for a while. He slowly stood up from the ground and walked towards the other person with his head down.
"Xu Xiangdong!"
Some local captains shouted angrily and almost gnashed their teeth. Under the flickering dim candlelight, their eyes were wide open as if they wanted to eat someone.
"Why, do you have any opinions about General Gong Yang?"
"Are you still dissatisfied with the Demon Suppression Envoy?"
The young deputy general's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a cold knife in the dim light, and he glanced at the angry captains on his left and right. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall stagnated.
Then, he looked at Wei Zhong who was sitting at the top.
"What do you think, General Wei?"
Sitting in the chair, Wei Zhong faced the arrogance of the young deputy general with a gloomy look in his eyes, but what made him most uncomfortable was that the subordinates he personally promoted betrayed him.
He spoke in a dull voice,
"Get out!"
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Since General Gongyang has taken a liking to him, let him go."
As soon as his attitude softened, the young deputy general smiled as if by magic, then turned his head slightly and spoke to Xu Xiangdong who was walking over.
"Captain Xu, did you hear that? General Wei seems to be quite reasonable. Go ahead."
"Take someone to invite the dancers and musicians from Tianxiang Tower, especially the beautiful girl from the Western Regions who is leading the dance. I think the general will like her. Don't delay the general's banquet."
"Yes!"
Xu Xiangdong responded quickly, lowered his head and walked away quickly.
After explaining all this, the young deputy general named Hu turned to Wei Zhong and said with a fake smile: "Wei Zhonglang, I am not here to offend you. It is General Gongyang who invites you to come over."
"A guest has arrived. The general wants you to accompany him."
"please!"
His tone was contemptuous, and then he looked at the blue-armored captains on both sides who were still angry, laughed, turned around, and walked out of the hall.
When Wei Zhong heard the commander of the vanguard army invite him to a banquet, his face changed. From the expression of the young deputy general named Hu, it seemed that the banquet was not going to be a good one.
Ever since the vanguard entered the city, he had felt the malice and ill will from the other side, who had slowly taken away his troops and power. He knew the reason, but he was unwilling to accept it, with a simmering anger in his chest, and he refused to bow his head.
The Central Plains court's fucking shitty Heavenly Army, how could they do things like that? He and Chen Yuan didn't have a very deep relationship, they had only known each other for a few days, but the other party had taken on the pressure and helped him clean up the mess at Tianxiong Pass almost single-handedly, so he had to accept the favor. Moreover, the reputation that the other party had earned in the demon battlefield made him applaud and admire him from the bottom of his heart!
Such a skilled general and meritorious minister is involved in the dirty tricks of those people in the court!
So boring!
This made Wei Zhong feel a little discouraged and disappointed, and at the same time, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
No wonder the world is in chaos, a bunch of bugs!
Anyway, from a moral and logical point of view, they are all soldiers from Shu and comrades in arms. He will definitely stand on Jiu Zhonglang's side. No matter what, he will never bow to these insects. He looks down on them from the bottom of his heart.
He stood up with a gloomy face, and his lieutenants gathered around him, frowning and looking angry.
"General, this group of people is too bullying and doesn't take you seriously at all."
"A deputy general is too arrogant."
"Their vanguard troops have now driven our people back and are guarding the inner and outer cities. What do they want to do?"
"Xu Xiangdong, this traitor, I will beat him to a pulp sooner or later."
"General, these soldiers are not following the law and have caused some trouble. Your soldiers have had some conflicts with them and have suffered losses. Do you have to think of a solution?"
"Fuck him, just fuck him."
"."
Everyone spoke one after another and gave a general idea of the current situation. In short, they were all in a bad situation and were very angry.
Wei Zhong walked down, with fire flickering in his eyes, but his mind remained calm.
"Calm down your brothers first and wait for my orders!"
"Now, there is only one word, which is to wait!"
"Wait!"
There was a deep meaning in Wei Zhong's words. The lights in the hall were reflected in his deep pupils, and they were flickering and fiery.
The person he is waiting for is Chen Yuan!
When he suppressed the rebellion at Tianxiong Pass, he was deeply impressed by the opponent's methods. Now, he wanted to see how they would deal with that bunch of insects.
Judging from the time, the other party should have received the message and is on the way!
After saying this, Wei Zhong strode out, and his lieutenants automatically stepped aside.
"You guys go down first!"
"I will go and see who the guest is that General Gongyang is inviting to the banquet."
Wei Zhong strode out of Zhonglang Palace. The snow outside made the sky shine. He swayed a few times and came to a villa in the inner city.
The lights inside were much brighter and warmer than those in the Zhonglang Hall, and faint laughter could be heard from inside.
The armor worn by the guards in the surrounding area is also much more exquisite than that of the Sky Patrol.
When Wei Zhong entered the door, he was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Wei Zhonglang, you are not allowed to enter unless you are summoned by my general!"
Wei Zhong frowned and his expression darkened instantly. It was really boring to use such low-level and despicable means to disgust others. Then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and with a "click", the two long swords blocking his way were broken directly.
Then he strode straight in!
Several men in green armor at the door were startled and were about to surround them.
At this moment, a mild scolding sounded.
"What is this doing?"
"Everyone, step back."
"Wei Zhonglang is the local Zhonglang General after all, how can he be so rude?"
The deputy general Hu who had come to invite just now came out of the hall. Then, with a faint smile on his face, he bowed to Wei Zhong and said, "Don't be angry, Lieutenant General Wei. It's my fault for neglecting to inform the guards at the door. Please come in. General Gongyang and several Lieutenants are waiting for you!"
It looks like this wasn't negligence, it was obviously intentional.
Wei Zhong snorted coldly, but quickly grasped the information in the words of Deputy General Hu: How many Lieutenants?
What do you mean?
He immediately strode forward and quickly stepped into the brightly lit hall. With a glance, he saw three familiar figures in casual clothes sitting in the hall.
The three men also turned their gazes towards him, their expressions slightly unnatural.
One of them was the General guarding Lanshan Pass.
One of them was the General of the Household of Yong'an City. When the demons appeared and caused chaos at the Demonic Fruit Conference, this man led his troops to flee. Before he could be reprimanded, a big mess occurred afterwards.
Another person is the General of the Central Army of Yunshan City.
The city passes guarded by these three people were not far from Tianxiong Pass. The farthest one, Yunshan City, was in the northwest of Shu, more than 4,000 miles away from Tianxiong Pass.
The three men saw the scene where Wei Zhong was stopped just now. They all had their own thoughts and did not stand up. They just bowed and said, "Greetings, Wei Zhonglang!"
"Wei Zhonglang, how are you?"
The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and there was no enthusiasm.
Wei Zhong's face fell a little. These three Lieutenant Generals guarding the pass did not stay in their own areas, but ran to Tianxiong Pass. Moreover, as the local Lieutenant General, he did not receive any news. It was obvious that the other party had direct contact with the vanguard army. This feeling made him furious, and he wanted to ask these three guys what they were trying to do!
At this time, a buzzing sound was heard.
"Here comes Wei Zhonglang. Please take a seat!"
I saw a burly man sitting at the top seat in the front of the hall.
The man was estimated to be about ten feet tall, wearing a black tiger robe, with silver hair, tiger eyebrows and beard. A tattoo spread from the left side of his face from his neck. His skin had a metallic luster, his eyes were like lacquer, and his brilliance was intimidating. There was an oppressive aura from his whole body, as if he was standing there like a small mountain.
This man is the commander of the vanguard army, Gongyang Jianshan, who is at the third level of the Tianguan Daoguo realm and only one step away from Musashi!
The vanguard army belongs to the central army of the three armies of the new Demon Suppressor, and is led by the Gongyang family. Although this person is officially just a general under the central army, we can infer the strength of the three armies from this.
Wei Zhong sat down at the side with a serious expression.
The three Generals of the Central Army came uninvited. Are they taking the initiative to take sides?
On the other side, under the cover of night wind and snow, the Tianxiang Tower with its warm lanterns was greeted by a clamor of soldiers and horses, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed into the hall of Tianxiang Tower.
Xu Xiangdong, who betrayed the Sky Patrol, followed the order and brought a group of soldiers under the command of Deputy General Hu to invite the dancers from Tianxiang Pavilion to entertain General Gongyang's banquet. When he entered the room, he shouted with full energy, which was completely different from before.
"According to the order of the Vanguard General under the Demon Suppression Envoy, bring out the dancers and musicians who performed in Room C this afternoon. The General is hosting a banquet, and there must be no mistakes."
"Especially Miss Mi!"
The Hu people's manager who came to greet him changed his expression when he heard this, and then forced a smile and said:
"Captain, I'm afraid this won't work. Those girls are performing for other guests. If we do this, it will make the other guests unhappy."
"Besides, Miayi no longer performs in public."
The Hu waiter smiled and said this carefully, and then there was a fierce shout.
"court death."
A soldier from the vanguard army rushed out from behind Xu Xiangdong, kicked the Hu leader down, stepped on his chest, leaned over, and looked murderous.
"How dare you shirk our general's orders? You really don't know how to write the word death."
As he said that, he pulled out his knife with a swish.
This made the team leader Xu Xiangdong's eyelids jump. Why did these vanguard troops want to kill people at every turn? They didn't seem like soldiers, but more like bandits.
This is not the way to invite people.
However, he did not stop it. If he could not complete the task of hiring someone, his token of allegiance would be in vain.
At this moment, when the knife light fell, a stream of light flew over quickly, and with a ding, it hit the blade and knocked the knife away. Then a figure like an iron tower fell from the sky, and a gust of air directly blew the group of soldiers below to the ground.
A muscular Hu man with thick chest hair appeared, exuding the aura of Tianguan. He helped up the Hu manager who had been kicked down. His leopard eyes showed majesty and his face was gloomy.
"I am Baturu, the owner of Tianxianglou. Aren't you guys a little too much? This is not the right way to invite people."
This person was the number one warrior beside Ange, and he was the nominal owner of Tianxiang Tower. But as soon as he finished speaking, the several blue-armored men behind him drew their weapons, looking unfriendly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Since you are the boss, that's even better. My general has ordered you to bring the person out quickly so we can report to him."
Xu Xiangdong stood up at this time and said to several unruly soldiers with a smile,
"Everyone, sell it to the next one."
Then he looked at Baturu and said, "Master, General Gongyang of the Vanguard Army is hosting a banquet. It just so happens that today I am hosting a banquet for the general's deputy general and specifically requested these dancers to perform at the mansion. Please think carefully, Master. After all, if we really make mistakes, neither you nor I can bear the general's wrath."
"Besides, it is a great opportunity for you ladies to appear before General Gongyang. If the general is happy, he will definitely reward you handsomely. The reputation of Tianxiang Tower will naturally increase greatly. The boss has no reason to refuse."
Xu Xiangdong seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but in fact he was making a disguised threat because he really felt that his employer had no reason to refuse.
After all, everyone with a discerning eye knows who is in charge at Tianxiong Pass now.
Baturu's face turned gloomy and his leopard eyes looked murderous. The attitude and behavior of this so-called vanguard army were very bad. They beat and killed people in their building twice. Who knew what would happen if they sent Miai and his men to the inner city.
He clenched his fists, murderous intent blazing from deep within his eyes.
At this time, a soft voice sounded.
"Since it is the general who invites you!"
"my pleasure!"
Following the sound, I saw a figure shrouded in golden gauze walking down the stairs above.
Miai appeared at some point.
A few minutes later, a group of carriages left Tianxiang Tower, and all kinds of angry curses were heard from the building.
They were all cursing that the vanguard troops were too arrogant and had taken away several of the top Western musicians and dancers in the building. As a result, many guests returned home disappointed and cursed as they left Tianxiang Tower. As a result, many lights in the building were turned off.
This is exactly what the Golden Lion and You Lian on the 28th floor want!
"Do it!"
From the candlelit room came the pitiful voice of a woman in black.
The silhouettes of the two candle flames on the window disappeared in a flash. A gust of wind blew, the candles in the room went out, and the window was blown open by the wind.
There was a snap.
In the room on the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, a window was wide open, and snowflakes like catkins were blown in from outside.
An Ge, tall and wearing a purple dress, stood in front of the window, looking at the carriages and horses going away on the northern road, her luxurious and exquisite face flashing with a solemn look.
Behind him, Baturu was furious. "Princess, you shouldn't have let Miayi and the others go. The inner city is now controlled by the Vanguard Army. These soldiers rely on their background as the Demon Suppressors and are unruly and ruthless. They want to fight and kill at any time. Who knows what will happen."
"That's a fire pit!"
"If I don't go, what will happen next?" Ange said in a deep voice, with a hint of repressed emotions. She had too many things on her shoulders, and she didn't dare to let go. If she didn't go, she might face revenge from these people. They could easily run away, but what about the other tribesmen? Mi Ayi knew, and so did the others, so they didn't hesitate.
But she didn't panic, her voice became calm.
"Go to the inner city and try to contact the local Zhonglang General Wei Zhong and explain the situation."
"Give this to him again, and he will know it at a glance."
"With his help, Miayi and the others should be fine."
Ange turned around, a hint of care flashed in her aqua blue eyes, and she gently took out a secret letter from her sleeve.
This was the second protective item Chen Yuan gave her.
If you encounter some difficulties, you can go to the local General Wei Zhong and he will help you.
Although according to intelligence, this local Lieutenant General was suppressed by the vanguard army, he still had troops under his command and had been rooted in Tianxiong Pass for more than ten years. How could he be defeated so easily? There should be no problem for him to help take care of Miai and the others.
When the warrior Baturu heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still took it with both hands and said, "Then I will go!"
After saying that, Baturu jumped out of the open window and went into the wind and snow outside. After a few flashes, he disappeared.
Ange turned around slowly and watched her warrior leave. Her beautiful eyebrows twitched for some reason. This should have been a trivial matter, but she knew that there was an undercurrent in Tianxiong Pass and a force against her man was forming. She had to treat it with caution.
These things happened one after another, making her uneasy. The cold wind outside the window was blowing, making the warm room deserted.
After looking out the window for half a cup of tea, Ange finally collected his thoughts, raised his hand and gently closed the window, blocking out the wind and snow outside. Then, a layer of transparent glass light closed like water waves the moment the window closed.
This is the restriction of this room!
Just as Ange closed the window and let go, the restriction that was like water waves suddenly trembled, rippling, and then the tremor became more and more violent.
Someone is breaking through the ban!
Ange's long willow-shaped eyebrows raised, his heart trembled, he raised his hand and drew a line in the air in front of his chest, his fingertips rippled like water, drawing a three-foot circle, and then a water mirror emerged.
In the water mirror, there was a place with mechanisms, where interconnected rooms were turned upside down and moved left and right. Two figures were rushing around in it with brute force.
The two figures could only be distinguished as a man and a woman in the water mirror; their faces seemed to be intentionally obscured and could not be reflected.
The aura revealed by the two was extremely powerful, and even had the aura of Tianguan Dao Fruit!
Moreover, the method used by the other party to break the ban seemed inexplicably familiar to her.
I saw one of the women in black, with smoke filling her breath, and then colorful butterflies emerged from the smoke and flew into the upside-down rooms.
If they encounter a ban, these butterflies will explode with a bang. Until a butterfly passes by a certain location without any harm, the woman in black will immediately follow. The speed of breaking the ban is very fast.
Ange moved her hands simultaneously, and her ten fingers emitted a water-blue light, controlling the ban to quickly stop the two people. However, she saw that the woman in the water mirror seemed to have noticed that she was looking at her, and there was a hint of mockery under her hazy face.
Immediately afterwards, a black lotus blossomed in the hands of the woman in black, flashing like black ice crystals and emitting a strange light.
The woman in black then threw a ruler-sized black lotus forward. As the black lotus flew past, the rapidly rotating rooms suddenly stopped.
Following closely,
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
Doors opened one after another, and a long corridor opened up. At the end of the corridor, the door was wide open, and the woman in black and Ange looked at each other from a distance.
The black-clothed woman's lavender pupils showed as expected, and she chuckled.
"Found it!"
Ange looked at the open door and the woman in black across the passage. Her eyes, like a lake, seemed to have a huge rock thrown into them, uncovering the past and buried hatred from many years ago.
Sun and Moon Holy Cult!
"The former noble Princess of Loulan, you must have had a hard time hiding these years. You were so high and mighty back then, but you never thought you would end up like this. You haven't even made much progress in your cultivation. I wonder who can protect you now!"
The black-clad woman laughed as loudly as a bell, and then her footsteps swayed, turning into a trailing shadow. The elongated sound also became sharper, and she rushed to the end of the passage.
But the next second, a strange laugh echoed in the corridor.
This obvious villain's laughter startled You Lian and she stopped in her tracks.
The golden lion that rushed over from behind was very irritable and continued to charge forward.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Just when it was halfway down the corridor, a huge black-haired claw suddenly stretched out from the room next door and grabbed the golden lion's entire body.
The golden lion roared, and its body was immediately covered with bright gold. A violent aura swept out, and it stretched out its fist and suddenly slammed towards the black claw.
There was a loud bang.
It only took a moment for the golden fist of the golden lion to meet the black claw. The gold on its arm retreated wildly, and the bones made a sharp crackling sound. Then, with a ripping sound, the golden lion's arm was torn off.
With a scream, the Golden Lion covered his arm and retreated in horror, retreating to You Lian's side.
"What?"
You Lian's charming smile was startled, and her lavender pupils flickered wildly.
The Golden Lion was at the first level of Dao Fruit, and his arm was crippled during the fight.
What kind of monster is that black claw?
But across the corridor, Ange was also surprised, looking at the room where the claws were stretched out, "You didn't leave?"
"Go away!"
"The contract that guy made with me is that I must protect you every step of the way. If I leave, I will die suddenly. I disappeared because I'm afraid you'll blame me." A resentful voice came from the room.
"who is it?"
You Lian's pupils widened in shock, and she stared at a room at the edge of the distant passage.
At this moment, a creepy sound of bone chewing was heard from inside.
Then, low roars came from the rooms on both sides of the passage.
Afterwards, the rooms on both sides were quickly engulfed in darkness. The lights went out one by one, and large scarlet green eyes appeared, surrounding the two people from the Holy Church, staring at them as if they were looking at two poor reptiles.
"Why did you pick on that guy's woman when you could pick on anyone else?"
A sinister and ferocious voice rang out in the darkness.
Like a voice demanding one's life, it echoed around.
You Lian felt the overwhelming demonic energy and was immediately shocked.
"Daoguo demon!"
It’s still the third level of Dao Fruit, a demon that is only one step away from becoming a great demon!
As she screamed, soon, in the dark space around them, the ferocious green light of anacondas surged, and their roars surged like the tide, drowning the two people from the Western Region Holy Church.
Not long after, screams were heard from inside.
