Yi Zhongren will personally lead the Royal Guards and Hu'an Guards, a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, to exterminate the Deity Sect.
As soon as the news came out, the court was in an uproar. Shouldn't the people of Yizhong wash their blood first? How can you lead an army out? Although the target of this expedition was the Deity Sect that they did not take seriously, but this move was too puzzling and shocking, right
But whether they believe it or not, on November 27, Yi Zhongren led 50,000 horses and set off from the capital in a mighty manner. The person in the lead has a bewitching makeup look, blood-red eyeliner, deep purple lips, and pale face, which no one will admit wrong.
In the crowd of onlookers, a man and a woman wearing warm hats, each holding a horse, watched the army leave. When the last line of soldiers passed through the city gate, the people standing on both sides of the street dispersed one after another, and the two mounted their horses and ran towards the city gate.
After leaving the capital smoothly, the woman asked, "Sir, are you really going?"
"Yeah." The eyes under the man's hat were cold, and his face was exceptionally handsome, but with an unhealthy pallor.
He restrained the horse and said to the woman, "I have sent a letter to Huaiqiu asking him to pick you up, and I will take you to Bengshan City, where you will wait for Huaiqiu."
The woman's unpainted face couldn't hide her beauty. She worriedly said, "You are too dangerous alone, why don't you let Huaiqiu go with you."
"No, it's more convenient for me to be alone, and it's not easy to expose. Let's go."
No more wasting time, the man waved the whip. The woman pursed her lips and followed with a whip.
Looking back at the capital city that was gradually moving away, the emotions in the woman's eyes were very complicated, but it was more about the freedom to leave the cage.

After Huo Feng and Huang Han joined forces, they encountered the vanguard of the Kun Kingdom army, and the ensuing battle was extremely fierce.
Kun Kingdom's soldiers and horses traveled long distances, and they encountered a big battle before they were repaired. Naturally, they suffered a loss, but Huo Feng didn't get much benefit. The Kunguo soldiers and horses are now returning to Baqiu City to wait for reinforcements. Huo Feng ordered the siege of the city. After three times, facing the casualties of the soldiers, he had to order the siege again.
In the face of such a stalemate, Huo Feng has not slept for three days, and has been discussing with Huang Han, Tang Nian and others how to fight this battle and how to invade Baqiu City. Once the reinforcements from the Kun Kingdom or the imperial court arrive, they will be very passive.
Huang Han and Tang Nian were analyzing, Huo Feng rubbed his brows and did not participate, just listened to his subordinates to discuss. He has no good way now.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Big event! Big event!"
Someone broke in from the outside, looking excited and a little unbelievable.
Huo Feng frowned: "What made you so nervous? Is there any movement in the city?"
The person who came in was called Ji Di, Ruan Xingtian's cousin. This person has a bright personality and has a rare good medical skill. Ruan Xingtian did not trust the prince, so he sent Jidi to take care of the prince.
Ji Di is good at making friends, and in Huo Jiajun, there is also a title of "Bao Tiao". At this time, Ji Di's Bao Tiao is also very useful to Huo Feng.
Ji Di's eyes were congested, he was panting, and he shouted directly with a trembling voice: "The emperor is dead!"
"what?!"
Everyone was stunned, and Huo Feng asked subconsciously, "How did you die!"
Jidi swallowed his saliva, and said quickly like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "It was said that Zhang Zhong plotted a rebellion and killed the emperor. Zhang Zhong was caught by Concubine Ru Gui and was killed on the spot. Before Zhang Zhong died, he told the emperor that Sun Jiyu and The prince secretly colluded to rebel, and the emperor directly ordered Yi Zhongren to kill Sun Jiyu."
"Now that the prince has ascended the throne, Yi Zhongren has become the governor of Huanwei and the envoy of the imperial guards, but Yi Zhongren left Beijing half a month ago, and led a total of 50,000 troops of Huanwei and Yuquan guards to encircle and suppress them. The 'Tenjin' has gone."
Huang Han's neck rattled, he turned to the prince, and his mouth was speechless.
Your Majesty, dead? Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu are both dead
Thinking that Yi Zhongren now controls the two guards and leads troops to encircle and suppress the "Tianjin Sect", Huang Han's heart suddenly beat very fast.
"My lord..."
"Haha, hahaha, Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu are dead, hahahaha..." Ji Di raised his head and laughed, the death of these two people can be said to be very heartwarming.
Tang Nian saw the difference between Wang Ye and Huang Han, and secretly dragged Ji Di. Jidi stopped laughing, and when he saw the haze on Wang Ye's face, he shuddered.
The lord's face is so terrifying, isn't the lord unhappy? They were ecstatic. Ah, the emperor is also dead. After all, the emperor is the elder brother of the prince. It is normal for the prince to be unhappy. Oops, I don't care so much, it's true to stay away from the prince for a while. But Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu are dead, and so is the emperor, hahaha, is this God helping them!
Although I didn't understand why the prince looked very unhappy, Jidi didn't dare to ask, but took two steps back: "I'll go ask again." He turned around and ran.
"I'm going to inquire, too." Tang Nian also ran away.
The other three people in the house also ran away, except Huang Han.
Soon, the news spread throughout the camp, and everyone who heard it applauded, but in the army tent of King Yue, the atmosphere was completely different.
Huang Han shouted cautiously, "Your Highness?"
For some reason, Huang Han linked this incident to Yi Zhongren. Why is it so coincidental? The emperor, Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu are all dead
Suddenly, Huo Feng slammed his fist on the table, and with raging anger, strode away without saying a word. Huang Han was taken aback, and after thinking about it, he still chased out.
※※※
- "You are a coward."
- "... The Prince of Yue, who has 700,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, is so uselessly bullied by me, a eunuch. You are not a scholar, so what are you?"
- "I have always looked down on you, and now even more."
There was no joy in Huo Feng's heart, but a deep anger.
When he rushed to a place where no one was around, he punched and kicked a tree without any rules.
Huang Han, who was chasing after him, quickly grabbed him: "My lord! Why are you so angry? The emperor is not kind to you, do you still miss him so much?!"
Huo Feng pulled out his hand and turned to Huang Han.
Huang Han couldn't help but take a step back, but he continued to persuade: "My lord, whether it's in my heart, or Xingtian and Baicai, you are the real Dragon Emperor. Your subordinates are not afraid of your anger, and you have invaded the capital, your subordinates will definitely It will kill the emperor. The emperor died at the hands of Zhang Zhong, and his subordinates think this is the best, at least you don’t have to worry about how to deal with the emperor after you enter the capital.”
"Did this king say that he is angry because of the death of the emperor?" Huo Feng was cold and angry.
Huang Han was puzzled: "Then why are you so angry, my lord? Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu should have died. Isn't it good for them to die?"
Huo Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Should this king be happy? This king is the king of Yue, the prince, with an army of 700,000, but what happens? This king is not only unable to protect himself, but also his wife and children, and even these people who should be killed. The king can't get rid of it himself. Do you think this king should be happy?"
Huang Han was even more confused: "Why do you care about who killed the prince? You can't blame the prince for the death of the two empresses. The prince is loyal to the emperor, how could he have thought that the emperor would be so ruthless. As for the two young masters, they are not very sympathetic now. Is it safe? Or maybe the Yizhong people will be against them?"
"This king doesn't want to owe him any more favors!" Huo Feng roared in one sentence.
Huang Han was stunned for a moment, then stunned: "Your Highness?"
Huo Feng clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently: "Don't you see it yet?"
Huo Feng's voice dropped a few degrees, only Huang Han could hear what he was saying.
"The emperor is dead, Zhang Zhong is dead, Sun Jiyu is dead, the crown prince is still a child, even if there are still those ministers, the court can't do anything to us, this is equivalent to eradicating the threat of the court for us. Yi Zhongren is in charge of Shanghai. An Wei and Imperial Guard, why are they so coincidental? Do you still understand?"
"If you think about it again, he led his troops to destroy the 'Tianjin Sect', why did he want to destroy the 'Tianjin Sect'? Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, Hu'an Guards and Imperial Guards combined are no more than 100,000 horses. I took half of it. If it is said that he is for the emperor who just ascended the throne? Do you believe it?"
Huang Han's eyes widened.
"Could it be... Is it... Yi Zhongren?"
"Apart from him, who else would be so impeccable?"
Huo Feng turned around, smashed the tree trunk with another punch, turned his back to Huang Han and said, "He's right, this king is a coward and a fool. What if you have an army of 700,000 people? You need one everywhere. This king once hated people who came to help."
"He saved the king, saved the blood of the king, and eliminated the threat to the court for the king, and now he is going to destroy the 'Tianjin Sect'. Huang Han, do you think this king should be happy?"
"Wang, wangye..." Huang Han didn't know what to say.
He was so shocked that his soul was about to leave his body, which was even more shocking than when he knew that it was Yi Zhongren who rescued the prince. Yi Zhongren was able to kill the emperor, Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu! This man is amazing!
Huo Feng's fist pressed tightly against the tree trunk. Huang Han opened his mouth to comfort him, then closed it again. He was so dizzy, how could he comfort the prince when he couldn't even believe or accept it? The prince has repeatedly 'planted' in the hands of Yi Zhongren, so it is no wonder that he is so angry.
However, Huang Han was a little puzzled. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to remove the obstacles for the prince? Whether he is a eunuch or a monster.
The heavy breathing gradually stabilized, Huo Feng released his fist and ordered: "Siege the city!"
"what!"
※※※
The King of Yue captured the city of Baqiu and wiped out the army of 100,000 people from Kun. The news spread quickly to all parts of the Southern Chu Kingdom like the emperor was assassinated.
The King of Yue showed no mercy to the troops of Kun, but ordered that the soldiers were not allowed to harass the people, and those who disobeyed the order were beheaded on the spot. The military discipline of the Huo family army is strict, not only did not cause any public resentment, but was deeply loved by the people.
After taking Baqiu City, the morale of the Huo family's army greatly increased. After Huo Feng ordered the army to repair it for three days, they continued to attack the next city.
In the south, the 50,000 elite soldiers of Huanwei and Yuqinwei met a main force of the "Heavenly Sect" outside Yunyang City.
The recent days of the Tenjin Sect have not been very good. Although their cult members continue to increase, the deity cult members rob civilians on the street, steal people's money, kill people to steal goods, and so on. The people who were still in awe of the deity religion in the past are now dismayed when they hear the deity religion.
Some believers left the Deity Sect, and many forces secretly attacked the Deity Sect, and the people in some places immediately swarmed and attacked it when they heard that it was from the Deity Sect. Now that Huanwei and Yuqinwei directly send troops, it can be said that the Deity Sect is being attacked by the enemy.
The deity sect had grown to 200,000 people, and even if Sima Xian was the messenger of the deity, it was impossible to watch over everyone.
Several elders in the Deity Sect were also very troubled, because some of them were later found to be not the actions of the Deity Sect, but they had no evidence to prove their innocence. Sima Xian has been furious many times, don't let him find out who is secretly framing them.
Most of the Deity Sects are people who have been squeezed by the government and the gentry and cannot survive. When such people encounter the elite soldiers of Hu'an Guards and Imperial Guards who kill and arrest people for food, they will naturally be defeated.
After a few defeats in a row, Sima Xian led the elite of the Deity Sect to face off against the two guards. Both sides suffered heavy losses in this fierce battle.
What surprised them most was that Sima Xian, who was hiding behind the command, was stabbed in the chest with a sword by a masked man who appeared out of nowhere. Several masters around Sima Xian shot at the same time, seriously injuring the other party, but still made the other party escape.
Sima Xian was stabbed, and the Deity Sect immediately collapsed. It didn't take long for news of Sima Xian's assassination to spread like wildfire, and Sima Xian's son became the new envoy of the Deity Sect.
※※※
When Huo Feng got this news from Ji Di again, he didn't get angry, but shouted: "That assassin was injured?!"
"It seems so. It was said that he was seriously injured by a master by Sima Xian's side, but he escaped." Ji Di patted his chest, "I really don't know what kind of hero he is, he actually killed Sima Xian alone, and was still in front of several masters. Sword piercing heart Sima Xian. My darling, this man is really good at kung fu, I hope this hero is okay."
Huo Feng said anxiously: "I don't care what method you use, let this king investigate where the assassin was injured!"
"Ah?" Ji Di was stunned.
"Let's go soon!" Huo Feng raised his eyebrows.
Ji Di turned around and ran: "Yes!"
"Your Highness..." Huang Han couldn't help but be a little worried, wouldn't it be Yi Zhongren again
Huo Feng waved his hand, and Tang Nian and the others retreated in confusion. Could it be that the prince sent someone to do this again? Otherwise, how could the lord care so much about the assassin? Tang Nian gasped, worthy of being a prince, it was really unfathomable!
Huo Feng frowned, his voice hoarse: "Jidi said that the other party is a sword piercing the heart. 'He' uses a sword."
Huang Han wondered: "Why did he assassinate Sima Xian?"
After asking, he was shocked and felt that he had asked a stupid question.
Huo Feng's heart was very chaotic, and there was even a panic that he wanted to control. His intuition told him that the assassin was Yi Zhongren.
Yi Zhongren was injured and seriously injured. Thinking that Yi Zhongren had been injured in front of him before, and now he was "severely" injured, Huo Feng was restless, and he couldn't tell.
"Huang Han, go and find out. Be sure to find out how much the assassin's injuries are."
Knowing that the prince is now involved in Yi Zhongren, his mood is unstable, Huang Han said nothing and left immediately.
Huo Feng rubbed his brows and whispered to himself, "Yi Zhongren, you are not allowed to die. Before this king can cure your sins, you must live for this king!"
