Before Liang Bo finished his cry for help, a clear and sharp shout rang out: "Young man, please stop!"
The sound was like thunderbolt, like the explosion of spring thunder; the people in the field, who suddenly heard the sound, all felt dizzy and their ears were ringing.
Following the sound, a figure with a tall hat and a high beard instantly appeared beside Zhu Li. Before Zhu Li could chop with his sword, he pointed his finger, and with a "dang" sound, he tapped Zhu Li's sword.
Zhu Li was already in a state of blurred consciousness as he rushed forward wildly, and he only held on until now because of his obsession. When he was suddenly blocked, his flying figure immediately staggered, and then he fell to the ground with a "thump", without any sound at all.
Seeing this sudden scene, Zhu Ya, who had been paying attention to Zhu Li's actions, immediately became anxious. He shouted, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Then, he suddenly looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily: "Old dog, I will kill you!"
Before he finished speaking, he was seen wielding his gun like a dragon and riding his horse like flying, and he immediately rushed towards the figure.
He was an old Taoist priest who was otherworldly and elegant, as handsome as jade and as ethereal as an immortal. But looking at his features, wasn’t he a fortune teller
He is the fortune teller who sells Wanlingjiao in Huichuan.
At this time, Li Tianfu, Li Gufeng, Zhongli Mei, Ji Bu and others who had come to their senses had already captured Lai Huer and Li Fazhu who had fled back, and took the opportunity to rescue Wang Yueyao who was bleeding profusely.
Just as they finished their work, they saw Zhu Li fall to the ground, his life or death unknown. They immediately became anxious. They picked up the two captives in an instant, supported Wang Yueyao, and ran to the place where Zhu Li fell.
Of course, those who rushed to the place where Zhu Li fell included Wu Dao, Liu Haichan, Yuchi Jin, Wen Lan, Yang Guang, Qian Muran, Qing Ruo and others.
Zhu Ya was undoubtedly the first to arrive, but he did not check Zhu Li's injuries. Instead, he shot a spear like a dragon, piercing his heart with an endlessly violent aura, and stabbed towards the fortune teller like lightning.
Facing Zhu Ya's thunderous shot, the fortune teller frowned slightly, as if he was impatient and disdainful.
He just casually snapped his fingers, and with a "bang" sound, Zhu Ya was flung out with his gun, and fell to the ground with a "thump".
Before Zhu Ya could get up, the fortune teller said calmly, "You are rude, young man. I, the old Taoist priest, tried to stop you out of kindness because I couldn't bear to see him die young."
"You are so good, you just hit me without knowing right or wrong. Let you fall down, which can be regarded as a lesson for you."
Once these words were spoken, the people who had gathered around were even more shocked.
Zhu Li suddenly fell to the ground, and everyone had a bad premonition; then they heard the old Taoist say "I can't bear to see such a talented person die so young", was Zhu Li going to die
When Yuchi Jin heard the news, he ran faster and faster, almost turning into a gust of wind, rushing towards Zhu Li even faster.
When Wang Yueyao heard the news, she resolutely broke free from the support of Li Gufeng and Zhong Limei and ran towards Zhu Li madly, stumbling.
The expressions of the two, in the eyes of others, made a feeling of desolation and sadness emerge in their hearts out of nowhere.
Fortunately, the fortune teller did not stop them, but let the two ladies rush to Zhu Li's side very naturally.
"Zhu Li, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"Daddy, our child is not born yet, you must not get into any trouble!"
... ...
As soon as the two ladies threw themselves on Zhu Li, they burst into tears and wailed loudly.
When everyone came closer, they found that Zhu Li's face was as pale as gold paper, his teeth were clenched, and he was already breathing out more than he was breathing in. He was dying and it was almost impossible to save him.
At this moment, Zhu Ya, with his mouth full of mud, also rushed over. When he saw his elder brother in such a state, he immediately looked at the fortune teller with an unpleasant face and gnashed his teeth and said, "My elder brother was just running and killing like a tiger, killing these shameless people, making them cry like ghosts and howl like wolves."
"It was you, the damn Taoist priest, who poked my elder brother as soon as you showed up, causing him to become like this. If you say this has nothing to do with you, only ghosts will believe it!"
As Zhu Ya raised his doubts, everyone saw Zhu Li's condition and naturally shared a common hatred for the enemy. They all looked at the fortune teller fiercely, as if they would not let him go unless the old Taoist gave them an explanation, even if they risked their lives.
But at this time, Wu Dao and Liu Haichan also arrived here
Upon seeing the expressions of the crowd, Wu Dao immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't be rude. This is Taoist Master Lu, who has come here specifically to calm down this incident."
"Thanks to the intervention of the Taoist priest, the leader of the Shanhai League and Emperor Yin of Shanhai Meng agreed not to interfere in this dispute among the heroes. He really had no ill intentions."
Wu Dao was Zhu Li's master, and there was absolutely no reason for him to harm Zhu Li. Since he said so, everyone turned their heads away awkwardly and looked at the unconscious Zhu Li.
"But, but, what happened to Zhu Li? Why is she unconscious?" Yuchi Jin said with tears in her eyes and a look of panic on her face.
Even Wu Dao had a gloomy face when he saw Zhu Li in this condition. He didn't understand what was going on and could only look at Taoist Lu helplessly.
The fortune teller, Taoist Lu, looked around at everyone and said thoughtfully, "This young friend has used a forbidden power and has suffered a backlash."
"That kind of power does not belong to him. Since he used it, he must pay the price."
"His mind is now lost and his consciousness is disintegrating. If we continue to indulge him in killing, Liang Bo and others will inevitably die, but his life will also be completely ended here."
"Asshole, it's all that Li Fazhu's fault. If it weren't for him, how could my brother be forced into this situation? I'm going to kill him!" Upon hearing that Zhu Li actually used the forbidden power, which led to his nearly death, Zhu Ya immediately looked at the dead dog-like Li Fazhu in Li Tianfu's hands with a sinister look, and said with gritted teeth.
Looking at Zhu Ya's unfriendly eyes, Li Tianfu hurriedly said: "Second General, Li has committed many sins and must be killed; however, I have an unwelcome request, please help me, the old thief and I have a grudge for killing my master, and I want to kill him myself."
Looking at Li Tianfu's solemn expression, Zhu Ya had no reason to refuse, and said in a deep voice: "Well, then please ask the Grand Palace Master to execute this man!"
"However, we still have three prisoners, and we cannot let them off easily either."
"Madam Muran, Madam Qingruo, and Brother Gufeng, please keep an eye on Huer, Li Nuer, and Yingfa. I will take them back to Shuozhou. If anything happens to my eldest brother, I will kill the three of them as a sacrifice to him!"
Zhu Ya's eyes flashed with ferocity and his voice was loud and clear, and it was obvious that he hated all those who had forced Zhu Li.
However, before he could finish his words, there was a sudden roar all around; looking outside the parade ground, countless palace guards, in shining armor, with clanging steps, marching in unison, with guns and spears in hand, pressing towards the entire parade ground.
These palace guards were none other than the Shen Ce Army and the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty; the two great eunuchs Yang Sixu and Yang Fugong were captured alive upon seeing the once-popular Jiangyou Li Fazhu; the life and death of the world-famous Zhu Li was unknown, and they realized that their spring was finally coming.
Now, Hedong's number one general Li Cunxiao was captured alive, Henan's famous general Wang Yanzhang suffered serious injuries, and Yangzhou's fierce general Tian Yu died on the spot.
Fengxiang Li Maozhen's support, the Yin-Yang Immortal Peng Xiao was beheaded, Xuzhou's fierce general Long Ju was seriously injured and has not recovered yet, etc. It can be said that the generals with great reputations in the world and the powerful figures they feared were almost all injured or killed. At this time, how could they not take the opportunity to revolt
At this moment, isn't it the time to surround the heroes and cleanse the world
The training ground was surrounded. Yang Sixu, who was trembling as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, was full of energy and even his back seemed to be straightened a lot. He said loudly: "Spring Search Battle, the first match, Heshuo Zhuli wins!"
"However, our General Huaihua has apparently suffered severe injuries and his life or death is unknown. Liu believes that this competition does not need to continue."
"My dear generals and officers, since you have come to Chang'an, why not stay here? It would be great to spend your remaining years in Chang'an and enjoy the company of your grandchildren. I have already prepared residences for you in Chang'an for your use."
"Once the new crown prince is chosen, everyone can give advice and suggestions. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"
Everyone frowned at the words of the eunuch who pretended to be Liu Xingshen; most of the vassal states who went to Chang'an knew that this was a trap set by the court for them.
However, they never imagined that the eunuchs were so ambitious that they wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop; weren't they afraid of eating too much and getting bloated
Before Yang Sixu, who was pretending to be Liu Xingshen, could finish his words, and before the other vassals could come forward to question him, an excited and clear voice rang out again: "What a big tone! However, no matter who is in charge of this world, it is not your turn to be the master, the two eunuchs."
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs have abused their power, causing the people to suffer and wars to break out everywhere;
Now, you are calling on all the vassal states to gather in Chang'an in the name of the Spring Search, and it turns out that your purpose is to put them all under house arrest."
"But, although they are not talented, at least they know how to govern a region. What have you eunuchs done? Apart from abusing power and misleading the emperor, I don't see what contribution you have made to this country and this nation."
"You are the ones who are most poisonous and harmful, and you are the ones who deserve to die!" The person who spoke was none other than the Taoist priest named Lu.
After enumerating the eunuchs' crimes, he naturally sentenced them to death. His expression was as if a god was announcing such a trivial matter.
"Damn Taoist priest, who are you and what qualifications do you have to give orders here?" Upon seeing this damn Taoist priest, Yang Fugong immediately became furious when he announced that he and others deserved to die without saying a word.
In response to the old eunuch's rebuke, Taoist Lu simply glanced at him calmly and said calmly: "You were originally a good warrior. Although you are a eunuch, you have indeed done some good things."
"But, since you came to power, you have been bullying the emperor and the ministers. You are tyrannical and have schemed to gain power. If you are allowed to live like this, you will be a disaster sooner or later. Die!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone did not see the Taoist priest surnamed Lu make any move, but they saw Yang Fugong, who had been scowling and angry just now, suddenly turn red in the face.
It was as if an invisible rope was tightly strangling his neck, causing his eyes to bulge out and his tongue to stick out about a foot long. Then he fell to the ground with a "thump", and there was no sound anymore.
It was a strange scene, and everyone was horrified. They felt a chill suddenly rising from their tailbone, running through their entire body and rushing to the top of their head in an instant.
Is this still a human being? He let someone die without even raising his hands. Yang Fugong, who was so complacent just now, fell to the ground in an instant and died. He was simply the god of death in the world.
At this moment, everyone in the field looked at the Taoist priest named Lu with eyes that were no longer calm. It was as if they saw a fierce ghost that could take their lives at any time.
The Taoist priest didn't care about the expressions of others, but looked directly at the pale-faced Yang Sixu, and said leisurely: "As far as I know, Liu Xingshen had already passed away, but suddenly came back to life miraculously. I would like to ask, who are you?"
Before Yang Sixu could finish his words, Taoist Lu said, "Forget it. I am not interested in knowing who you are. I only know that since you took office, although you have tried your best to rectify the government and stabilize the central government, you have taken an unconventional approach, secretly recruited assassins, and assassinated senior officials, which has brought greater panic and unrest to the whole world."
"You have no advice for the emperor. If the emperor does not meet your standards, you will kill him secretly and replace him with someone who listens to you."
"Your actions have caused the entire Li royal family to live in fear. In order to save their lives, everyone has to obey you. Compared with Yang Fugong, your sins are greater."
"You disregard the world and play with your sovereign, so you shall die!"
The Taoist priest surnamed Lu continued to speak lightly, and as his voice rang, Yang Sixu, the old eunuch who had lived two lives, following Yang Fugong, suddenly had his eyes bulged out, his mouth and tongue stretched out, and he died instantly.
I have to say, these two guys are really pitiful. Just when great things were about to happen and success was in sight, they died inexplicably at the hands of a Taoist priest before they had time to get excited.
Even before they died, they didn't know the name of the Taoist priest in front of them.
No matter it was the Shen Ce Army or the Imperial Guards, their leader suddenly died, and in such a strange situation. All the palace guards, as well as the leading generals, stopped in their tracks. The gazes they turned toward the Taoist named Lu were as if they were staring at a true God. They were filled with inexplicable awe and did not dare to offend lightly.
After dealing with the two eunuchs, Taoist priest Lu glanced at Zhu Ya and said calmly, "The three evils of the Tang Dynasty are eunuchs, factional struggles, and feudal lords. Today, can I borrow the hands of the two generals to eliminate one of them?"
"I beg the second general to help me. Gather the troops and eliminate all the eunuchs in the palace."
"If the Second General is willing to help, I can give you a clear way out for your elder brother's injury. What do you think, Second General?"
Before the old Taoist finished speaking, and before Zhu Ya could speak, Wu Dao immediately bowed to the Taoist named Lu and said respectfully, "Thank you, Taoist priest. If you can help me save my life, let alone eliminate the eunuchs, even sweeping away all the feudal lords, I will accept it on behalf of Zhu Ya."
