The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 721: Shock and awe

Views:

The reason why he told Suo Zhang these things was that Suo Xun's purpose was very clear: to gain his wife's understanding and support. After all, the Suo Zhang family is Zhang Yichao's daughter, and has a high prestige among the Zhang family.

Suo Xun has been doing this all the time, and it has been basically confirmed. If not, he would not tell his wife these things now, but imprisoned her. Emphasizing it again now when the big event is launched will help strengthen the morale of the wife.

Putting on his armor, Suo Xun came to the meeting hall.

The officials and aides who have status in the mansion have been waiting for a long time. His trusted generals in the army, including some monks who are enshrined in the Guiyi Army in Guazhou, the real monks, also rushed over after receiving the notice.

Launching a mutiny and taking control of the Guiyi Army was a major event that Suo Xun and his own people had planned and prepared for many years. Shimen's actions in the northwest were just to advance this action. When Suo Xun succeeded in luring Zhang Huaiding, he had already given his wings and confidants the order to come quickly.

In addition to Suo Xun's own people, there are still some high-ranking people in the meeting hall at this moment, including a Commander of the Du, a Marquis of the Du Yu, and two Daoist priests, who have not been on good terms with him. The news these people received was different from the previous ones.

As the highest ranking member of the Guiyi Army in Guazhou, Suo Xun has the right to let these people come from their homes to discuss matters.

Suo Xun walked into the meeting hall, sat down on the main seat, and looked around everyone calmly.

During this process, his confidants nodded slightly one after another, signaling with their eyes that they are ready and can act according to the plan at any time. Suo Xun nodded indifferently, as he gave the order to play by ear.

"I don't need to say much about the situation in the northwest right now. You all know it well. Shimen's 100,000 troops attacked from both sides, and the Guiyi army fell into a situation of life and death. All of this was because the Jiedu envoy suppressed Shi Because of the door."

Suo Xun looked at the crowd, focusing on the faces of several generals and priests who were obviously biased towards Zhang Huaishen, "I have already found out that the Jiedu envoy secretly communicated with the Uighurs to lure the Mingjiao army into Sha and Gua. Although the two states, under the pretense of clearing out monks from the Shimen, are actually collaborating with the enemy and treason, he has already accepted the canonization of the Uighur Khan as king!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two Guiyi Army generals and priests who finally Zhang Huaishen changed suddenly.

The commanding envoy of the capital was born and questioned Suo Xun immediately: "What evidence does General Suo have to dare to slander Jiedushi like this?! If there is no ironclad evidence today, don't blame the last general..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression froze suddenly, and he quickly dodged to the side!

He is also a real person, and his combat power is very strong. He noticed in time that another commander standing on his left suddenly slipped a magic weapon dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed him secretly and quickly!

Just as he dodged to the right, the pain in his right waist suddenly became unbearable, and his whole body froze, which made him look in disbelief at the man named Du Yuhou who came with him on the right side.

This Marquis of Du Yu has always been at odds with Suo Xun, and his daily actions are all based on the orders of the Jiedu Envoy. The Commander has always cited him as a confidant. Stab yourself!

"You...why?!" When the commander froze all over, the dagger in the hand of the general on the left had already reached his neck. But he didn't realize it, he just stared at Du Yuhou with tearful eyes.

Du Yuhou just smiled slyly, and did not answer aloud, with a playful look in his eyes.

Although the commander of the capital did not get an answer, he also realized at this moment that this person may have taken refuge in Suo Xun a long time ago, maybe he has always been Suo Xun's person! On weekdays, the face of the Jiedushi is always respected, just to get close to himself, confuse himself, and get all kinds of information about the Jiedushi from here!

At this time, Suo Xun's unhurried voice sounded, "Everyone, the Jiedu Envoy betrayed the Guiyi Army, everyone got it and punished him, who has any disagreement?"

Everyone stopped covering up, turned around to face the two priests, and surrounded them faintly. There are five real people among them, and with Suo Xun, there are six real people!

The faces of the two priests were blue and white, the soles of their feet were cold, and the sweat on their foreheads was like a net, and they couldn't move for a while. Both of them are from other big families in Guazhou, and their identities are unusual, but they didn't expect that Suo Xun had already moved to kill them at this moment.

Both of them knew very well that as long as they said no, their lives would be in danger immediately!

But asking them to admit that Zhang Huai was treasonous and colluded with the Uyghurs, such a crime of confounding black and white, is really hard for their conscience to accept.

The two looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

Why didn't they see before that Suo Xun, a seemingly honest and virtuous guy, actually hides such bad water in his stomach

There was no trace of it before, but once the mutiny was launched, it was so violent that there was no chance for people to respond!

Sure enough, he is a treacherous and loyal cunning person!

"You two, this general doesn't have extra patience. Let me ask you two again, do you want to lead the family, follow this general, and eliminate the traitors in the Guiyi army?" Suo Xun asked righteously.

Speaking of this, seeing that the other party still didn't move, he sighed pretending to be sad, "It seems that the two of you need to make up your mind for you."

Speaking of this, he looked at the knife in the waist, and was commanded by the dagger around the neck, "I originally wanted you to live, but the situation is like this, if you don't use your head to scare the monkeys, I'm afraid No more."

As soon as the voice fell, the two priests shouted at the same time: "Stop!"

Suo Xun ignored it, "Kill!"

The general holding the dagger let out a smirk, and the dagger in his hand was about to ruthlessly pass by the commander of the capital who was glaring at him!

There was a snort.

Blood splattered.

There was a scream.

Something flew up.

Everyone's pupils shrank, some looked strange, some were very surprised, some trembled in horror, and some exclaimed.

What flew up was not the head of Commander Du.

It was a hand that had been severed at the wrist!

Still holding the hand of the dagger.

The general stared blankly at his severed hand that spurted blood, still in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that his hand would be broken off suddenly and smoothly.

All the people who had been staring at the two priests to prevent them from escaping did not see how the hand suddenly flew into the air.

When they heard the screams and turned around, they saw a green leaf flying straight up in sight.

No, not a green leaf!

It is countless flying leaves!

Thousands of leaves are like flowers, whirling out from the bottom of everyone's feet, sharp and powerful, as soon as they appear, they cover the sky and cover the whole field of vision!

At the same time, streams of blood flew vertically and horizontally, and screams came out one after another!

All the people present, except the injured Commander Du and the two surrounded priests, were all shrouded in the whirling curtain of violent leaves, and suffered an indiscriminate attack at the same instant!

Every green leaf is a flying blade of aura, although small, its lethality is astonishing.

Those subordinate officials and aides whose cultivation level was lower than that of a real person were instantly penetrated by countless flying leaves! Each flying leaf brought a spray of blood mist, and their bodies instantly turned into blood gourds, trembling, convulsing, screaming or flying up, or falling, falling to the ground one after another!

Even if it is a real person, if Fei Ye slides across the body, there will be blood holes more than an inch deep, and the spurts of blood are splashed like ink, making the vision instantly full of red!

The mutation came so suddenly that everyone didn't notice it before!

That's all for the Qi-training monks. The five real-world monks present were attacked by their opponents and were covered in bruises. They couldn't lock the opponent's position. They could only try to form layers of spiritual energy barriers while looking left and right to find the existence of each other.

Suo Xun was the only one who noticed the presence of abnormal aura a little ahead of time.

On the eve of the general's severed hand, he wanted to sound a warning, but immediately tensed up. Because he suddenly felt that an extremely tyrannical aura had locked onto him! Before he jumped up from the main seat, a Bai Lian came out of the hole like a giant python, flew in through the window, and faced him instantly!

At this time, Hurricane Manyo was blowing in the arena!

Suo Xun immediately let out a low cry, without hesitation, he pulled out the treasured sword on his waist, and slashed straight at Bai Lian.

When the blade touched Bai Lian, Suo Xun felt as if he had hit a mountain torrent. The huge shock force made his tiger's mouth numb, and his arm seemed to lose consciousness for a moment, and at the same time, a stream of blood gushed out from the tiger's mouth.

The opponent's cultivation level is much higher than his own! Suo Xun suddenly turned pale with shock.

Half a year ago, he had achieved the Yangshen Daoist Realm, and in the entire Guiyi Army, only Zhang Huaishen had a higher level of cultivation than him, but the other party was only in the middle stage of the Yangshen Daoist Realm, far from the late stage. And the opponent in front of him completely crushed him in terms of cultivation power, which means he was stronger than Zhang Huaishen!

I thought it was Zhang Huaishen who killed the carbine, but Suo Xun still had the desire to survive. After all, there are five real people in the hall, so joining forces may not be impossible. But now, the person who came was even stronger than Zhang Huaishen, so he must not be from Zhang Huaishen, which made him feel at a loss.

What is the background of the other party

Why did you suddenly attack yourself? !

"Who are you!" Frightened, Suo Xun changed his left hand to hold the knife, and met Bai Lian who was rolling towards his neck!

At this moment, the situation in the field has changed drastically.

The commander who was stabbed at the waist immediately saw the enemy's severed hand flying up in front of his eyes. As a decisive veteran on the battlefield, he was overjoyed immediately, without any hesitation, he turned around and punched him heavily. Du Yuhou who stabbed himself at the neck!

Du Yuhou and the commander of the capital are two levels behind in official positions, and there is also a significant difference in cultivation between the two. Just now, the commander of Du only wanted to dodge the surprise attack of the general in front of him, and he did not expect that the "friend" behind him would attack him. Only then was the other party's premeditated plot.

At this moment, the other party was in astonishment, but he was the first to react and strike. Even though his waist was injured, this punch was full of anger. Even though the power of his cultivation was affected, it also exploded with extraordinary power!

...

When a fist hit the opponent's neck heavily, there was a crackling sound of bones breaking.

Seeing Du Yuhou whose expression was still dazed, the commander of the capital immediately twisted his neck, like a broken ball, and his body flew upside down, slammed into the pillar of the porch, and fell to the ground with a bang , and then stopped moving.

Those who had their grievances avenged were all commanders, and let out a hearty low laugh, completely ignoring the blood still gushing out of their mouths.

The two priests who were trapped in the siege saw the people who besieged them either surrounded by bursting blood mist, or bursting out springs of blood, while the whirlwind of thousands of leaves was blowing around them, but they were completely unconscious They didn't know that the reinforcements had arrived, and without hesitation, they rushed towards a real person with a loud roar!

Suo Xun's mutiny was unexpected to them, and the sudden arrival of reinforcements was even more unexpected. Until now, the two priests didn't know what kind of confrontation the situation was going through. They only knew one thing: Suo Xun was going to launch a mutiny, but It was broken in advance, and a master was sent to destroy it at a critical moment!

Could it be that the Jiedushi was aware of Suoxun's objection in time

But he came to see Suo Xun not long ago, and left for Yangguan again.

Is this the return carbine of the Jiedushi

They couldn't figure it out.

But both of them were unwilling to go along with Suo Xun. Seeing the arrival of strong reinforcements, the five real people in the room were all covered in bruises in an instant. They looked very serious, and their confidence suddenly increased. The key lies in who is making the move , none of them saw it!

It couldn't be more obvious which one was stronger and which was weaker. The two priests knew how to choose both emotionally and intellectually.

The battle came abruptly, but ended equally swiftly.

The two priests easily defeated the two real people.

It's not that the two of them are extremely powerful in battle, but that the opponent was seriously injured by Ye Ren, and his mobility was greatly limited. They just took down their opponents with one fierce attack.

And when the two of them finished off the enemy, the other three real people fell into a pool of blood almost at the same time, twitching without an inch of flesh or bone in their bodies.

Suo Xun was wrapped around his neck by Bai Lian, and the treasured sword intended to block Bai Lian cut his neck under Bai Lian's entanglement. If he hadn't put the sword in the storage bag in time, his head might have moved.

Suo Xun, who was tied into a rice dumpling by Bai Lian and thrown into the hall and rolled straight, finally stopped and straightened his waist, but was so shocked by the scene in the hall that he was speechless.

His subordinates and aides became corpses all over the ground, and there were very few who could leave a whole body for identification. The blood of Datan was spreading, and the pillars, curtains, walls and windows were all splashed. of blood.

The corpses of several real people are still intact, but they are also bloody and unrecognizable.

There were only three people standing in the hall.

The two priests who refused to obey him, and the one with the wound on his waist, were both commanders.

The three of them were looking down at him, their eyes full of contempt and hatred, especially the commander, gnashing his teeth, it seemed that he really wanted to come over and tear him into pieces.

"Who is it?! Who are you guys?! Zhang Huaishen, you insidious old thief, get out!" Suo Xun yelled with his face turning blue. He thought Zhang Huaishen had tricked him.

He saw the person who shot him.

A glamorous woman in a purple-black robe with a dark and sinister temperament was twisting her slender waist and moving her long straight legs, walking gracefully and leisurely from the window, with a graceful and majestic temperament.

Although there was not much expression on her face, the contempt in her eyes was not concealed.

Suo Xun stared blankly.

He doesn't know this person.

He knew Zhang Huaishen's old background very well. How could there be such a strong master by his side? How can there be people I don't know

Could it be that the other party is more scheming than himself

This is impossible!

The two priests looked at the courtyard outside the door. Although they didn't widen their eyes like Suo Xun did, they couldn't hide their astonishment.

In the yard, a petite woman floating in the air, surrounded by flying leaf masks, was slowly falling.

The other party was dressed in a purple and white dress and a veil on her face. She couldn't see her real face, but just looking at those ethereal and pure eyes, one could tell that she must be a rare beauty in the world, and she might have an alluring beauty.

"You... You, who are you?!" Suo Xun looked at the women in the hall and then at the women in the courtyard, a little dazed and full of unwillingness.

The gorgeous woman in a long robe, her purple-black lips twitching slightly, looked at Suo Xun and said indifferently: "Kill."

The woman in the white skirt who walked into the lobby came to the woman holding the white lian, and looked at Suo Xun, who had become a prisoner. His black eyes were like clear pools, and his oriole-like voice was exceptionally fresh, and he said calmly, "Kill the devil."

Not only Suo Xun, but the commander and the two priests all trembled at the same time, as if waking up from a dream.

The older priest couldn't help saying: "Qingcheng!"

The younger priest took over the conversation and added excitedly: "Qingguo!"

The commander of the capital finally came to his senses, remembering a famous legend, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said in awe: "Young Master Commander!"

Suo Xun let out a wail, and collapsed on his back to the ground, his eyes were lifeless, and he had no intention of struggling at all.

Wanye Feihua, practicing with bare hands, murdering and killing demons, the young master who is all over the city and the country is in front of him, but he didn't recognize it at the first time, even if he was cut into pieces, he would not be wronged.

Suo Xun looked at Fangliang with blank eyes, and murmured unconsciously: "King An, so it's King An... No wonder I will lose, I will lose so thoroughly, I really don't feel wronged at all... . .. ”

Both the commander and the two priests also realized that their strong support turned out to be King An!

Although Wang An was not face to face, it did not prevent them from imagining Wang An's heroic appearance in awe, and they also agreed with Suo Xun's words very much.

King An in front of the Yangguan Tower never drew his sword again.

The soldiers of the two armies attacking and defending the city pass in front of them were fighting fiercely.

The muffled sound of crossbow strings that is unique to the magic weapon bed crossbow still resounds everywhere. As the Biyou crossbow arrows flew out, a line of blood would be cleared out of the white-clothed monks, creating a straight path of corpses and blood on the battlefield that was already strewn with corpses.

The monks of Shimen, who are middle and high-end in Qi training, kept rushing to the place where the crossbow arrows flew from everywhere. But before they got close to the magic weapon bed crossbow formation, they were stopped by groups of strong Guiyi soldiers who were not afraid of death.

And when the battle between the two sides is fierce, the magic weapon bed crossbow will continue to exert its power under Peng Zushan's command from a different angle or a different place.

Because of the frequent movement, the magic weapon bed crossbow is no longer firing continuously, and the operating burden is reduced instead. After such a long battle, only one was damaged, and it didn't explode, but disintegrated. It was repaired by Peng Zushan, and it turned out It works again.

As the battle continued, Zhang Huaishen developed a variety of tactics such as luring the enemy, gathering and annihilating, confusing the enemy, and counterattacking in a very short period of time around the magic weapon bed crossbow array.

The mid-level and high-end monks who were attracted by the magic weapon bed crossbow were often hit by the heavy soldiers of the Guiyi army who had ambushed; and where they left, the monk soldiers were counterattacked by the Guiyi army because they lost their high-level combat power, and they disappeared from the city wall.

Through the flexible use of these tactics, although the Guiyi army fought hard and suffered heavy casualties, they insisted on withstood rounds of onslaughts by the monk regiment, and caused great damage to the opponent!

"Outstanding man." This was Chu Nanhuai's evaluation of Zhang Huaishen.

"Talent." This is Li Ye's evaluation.

"The capital of a famous general." This is Li Xian's opinion.

At first glance, Nangong saw that everyone had expressed their opinions, and each one was more incisive and more reasonable. He also wanted to express his insights.

But after searching and thinking for a long time, I didn't come up with a better evaluation than everyone else. I just felt that they had exhausted everything I could say. I was very depressed for a while, feeling that I had missed a great opportunity to show off.

Make up your mind that next time you encounter someone or something that you can comment on, you must be the first to speak up, so as not to be robbed of good words by others, Nangong No. 1 felt a little more at ease.

Glancing at the sky, seeing that the sun was setting, Li Ye called Zhang Huaishen over, and said to him without reservation: "There are hidden dangers in the Guiyi Army, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Huai was deeply shocked, and quickly clasped his fists to explain: "Reporting to Your Highness, although there were some small fights in the Guiyi Army, no one had two minds. Before coming, the lower officials have confirmed that no one will affect the battle of Yangguan. Your Highness, please...don't worry!"

Thinking of not being able to transfer all the real people to Yangguan, Zhang Huaishen felt guilty and ashamed, and the latter two words had no power.

A vague smile appeared on Li Ye's face, "Suo Xun has always wanted to pull you off his horse, but now he has joined forces with Zhang Huaiding and is going to start a mutiny in Guazhou."

Zhang Huai couldn't help shaking his hands, and thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, "Your Highness... how would you know Suo Xun, this..." He suddenly thought of something, and his face turned ashes in an instant, " Could it be that His Highness has received the news that they... have changed in Guazhou?!"

If the other party really mutinied and the Guiyi army was in chaos, how would Yangguan be defended? How can Shazhou and Guazhou defend themselves? He, Zhang Huaishen, is a Jiedu envoy, and he has committed a heinous crime! Letting down the bloody battle between Li Ye and everyone is even more to blame!

Zhang Huai looked at Li Ye with a hard head, and only hoped that this hadn't happened.

"They have already mobilized their people, eliminated dissidents, and prepared to send troops to Yangguan." Li Ye's words made Zhang Huai take three steps back, feeling that the sky was dark and he almost sat down on the ground.

However, what Li Ye said next brought Zhang Huaishen back to life in an instant, "I have already sent someone to help you settle this matter. Both Suo Xun and Zhang Huaiding have been arrested now."

As he spoke, he pointed to the wall under the corridor, "Look."

Zhang Huai stretched out his head to look in amazement, and saw Suo Xun and Zhang Huaiding tied up like zongzi and thrown at the base of the wall.

"Your Highness, this..." Zhang Huaishen didn't expect to see these two people in Yangguan, and didn't know what to say for a while. When I looked back at Li Ye, I only felt that the other party was tall as a mountain and as unfathomable as the sea, especially the faint smile on his face, which was breathtaking.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Huaiding realized that behind Li Ye, there were two beauties with very different temperaments.

Li Ye patted Zhang Huaishen on the shoulder, signaling to him not to panic, and said with a smile, "It's getting dark, and the offensive of the monks will stop for a while. Telling you about this is nothing more than to save you from worrying about Guazhou. When it gets dark, go and mobilize heavy troops to encircle the bald donkey in front of you."

It is true that Zhang Huaishen is a military genius, but he is not as good in officialdom struggles. Otherwise, he would not have been strengthened by Suo Xun to such a state. No man is perfect, and Li Ye has no intention of blaming him.

Hearing Li Ye's words, Zhang Huaishen suddenly realized that the battle at Yangguan had come to a close. Seeing how Li Ye handles everything so neatly, it's obvious that he's in control of everything. Now, as long as he can mobilize heavy troops to encircle the monks and soldiers, he can win this battle!

Thinking of this, Zhang Huaishen could hardly suppress his urge to pay respects, and hastily bowed down, submissively saying: "Your Majesty takes orders!"
