The door blocked the noise outside. Du Fu said, "Liu Qi and Liu Zhang, from the same clan, have joined forces to seize Bazhong and want to put us to death. Now we can only protect ourselves by working together. What do you two kings think?"
Pu Hu saw that Zhang Wei was trapped, and laughed loudly: "We, the Ba people, have lived in Daba Mountain since the pre-Qin era. We have been able to protect ourselves calmly despite the rise and fall of many dynasties, relying on the advantages of mountains and rivers. Judging from the current situation, we have no choice but to abandon Hanchang and concentrate our forces to retreat to Dangqu. In Daba Mountain, our soldiers are invincible."
Zhang Wei's eyes were slightly stern, and he said calmly: "As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. If we retreat to Dangqu, who will have the final say?"
Pu Hu laughed and said, "In our Ba people's territory, the Ba King has the final say."
"How dare you!" Zhang Wei was furious and slammed the table and stood up: "Pu Hu, I am the King of Hanning, do you want to rebel?"
Pu Hu also stood up slowly and said in a cold voice: "If it weren't for the support of the Ba people, your brother would have been killed by Liu Zhang long ago. Now that Hanzhong has been occupied by Liu Qi, you are already a dog without a home. How dare you climb over my head and act arrogantly?"
Zhang Wei's face flushed red, and he shouted, "Pu Hu, you are talking like this. Could it be that you have colluded with Liu Qi long ago? Are those rumors true?"
Pu Hu laughed wildly and said, "My ancestors of the Ba people helped Emperor Gaozu conquer the world, and all our descendants are proud of this. Even if I surrender to the Liu family, it is only natural."
"So you admit it?" Zhang Wei was secretly delighted. He picked up the wine glass and toasted to Yuan Yue, "Master Wushen, did you hear everything clearly?"
Yuan Yue was confused and was about to persuade them to make peace, but Pu Hu snorted coldly: "This is my Ba people's territory, what can you do to me?"
Zhang Wei was furious, and threw the wine glass to the ground, shouting: "Pu Hu colluded with Liu Qi and betrayed the Ba people. He deserves death. Someone..."
Ten masked men in black appeared from behind the screen curtain, each holding a steel knife, and rushed forward with a cold light flashing.
Pu Hu thought to himself that since you broke the wine glass yourself, it would be easier for me. He put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Zhang Wei, your death is coming, hahahaha—"
Before the laughter died down, a man wielded a knife behind him and with a flash of cold light, Pu Hu's head flew up and a stream of blood rushed to the roof like a fountain.
Gurgle, Pu Hu's head rolled in front of Yuan Yue, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth and a weird expression. Yuan Yue was so scared that he screamed and collapsed to the ground.
"Hahaha, it's done!" Zhang Wei saw Pu Hu's head fall to the ground, and regardless of the blood splattering on his body, he turned to Du Fu and said, "King Xiong, from now on, I will make you the Eternal King of Ba."
Du Fu's face showed no emotion. He stood up and sighed, "I'm just worried that the guards outside and the seven clans won't admit it."
"Whoever dares to disobey my order will end up like Pu Hu!" Zhang Wei stepped forward and kicked the head on the ground, grabbed Yuan Yue, and grinned, "Master Wushen, what do you think?"
“Yes, yes…” Yuan Yue trembled all over. Zhang Wei was the guardian deity, second only to Zhang Lu, and his status was originally higher than his. At this moment, he was frightened. How could he dare to hesitate at all
Zhang Wei let go, and Yuan Yue sat on the ground again, smiling, "With the support of the king and the witch god, King Ba can rest assured."
Du Fu looked outside the door and said, "To those outside, please explain the situation to the king so that we don't kill each other."
"What's the difficulty?" Zhang Wei originally planned to let Yuan Yue go, but when he saw him slumped on the ground, he curled his lips and sneered, leaned over, picked up Pu Hu's head, and strode out the door.
Du Fu stepped forward to help Yuan Yue up. Seeing Zhang Wei opening the door and coming out, he whispered, "Zhang Wei killed the King of Ba. I'm afraid the next one will be you and me. Let the guards outside take action."
Yuan Yue's whole body was shaken, and he didn't know where he got the strength from. He stood up suddenly and rushed to the door, shouting hoarsely: "Zhang Wei killed the King of Ba and is about to leave. Stop him quickly and avenge the King of Ba."
Zhang Wei came up to the steps carrying Pu Hu's head and was about to speak, asking the Ba guards to be sensible and follow the new King of Ba in the future.
As soon as he raised the head, he heard Yuan Yue's roar, and his whole body froze.
In the yard, the guards of both families were toasting each other, playing finger-guessing games, and arguing with each other until their faces turned red. They did not notice Zhang Wei coming out.
Yuan Yue's roar startled everyone. They all turned their heads to look at the door and saw Zhang Wei holding a bloody head.
The picture seemed to be frozen, some people were holding bowls, some were hugging each other, some had red faces, and all their eyes were looking towards the heads.
Blood was still dripping from the man's head, and Park Hu was looking at the field with a strange smile on his face.
"Your Majesty—"
The Ba guard's face changed drastically, and he sobered up instantly. He pushed away Zhang Wei's followers beside him, turned around and looked for weapons to fight desperately.
"Yuan Yue, you bastard, how dare you frame me?" Zhang Wei was furious. He threw away Pu Hu's head and drew his sword to stab Yuan Yue.
"Protect the king!" Zhang Wei's followers also reacted, picked up their weapons and fought back, and moved closer to Zhang Wei.
There were shouts and cries of killing in the yard. The guards who had just been calling each other brothers and toasting each other were now fighting each other to the death. Soon, there were corpses lying on the ground.
Yuan Yue was so scared that he turned around and ran back, but was tripped by Li Hu. He crawled forward using his hands and feet, shouting in panic: "King Xiong, help me! Save me!"
Zhang Wei chased him and stabbed him in the back with a sword, killing Yuan Yue. He said coldly: "If you betray me, even the Heavenly Master can't save you!"
At this time, Du Fu came over in big strides. Zhang Wei sneered and said, "King Xiong, don't be nervous. The situation is all up to me—"
He was only halfway through his words when he saw Du Fu draw his sword and slash at him, shouting, "Dare to kill the King of Ba, I will avenge him!"
Puff—
Zhang Wei's head also flew into the air, his body took half a step forward and fell to the ground.
Du Fu chased him out of the door with a knife in hand, shouting, "Zhang Wei assassinated the King of Ba, and I have executed him. Do not let his accomplices go."
Both sides in the yard were blood-thirsty. When Zhang Wei's personal soldiers heard that Zhang Wei was killed, they were thrown into chaos and tried to escape, but were all killed by the angry guards and messengers of God.
In less than a moment, the government office was flooded with blood. Although those who followed Pu Hulai won, they were dumbfounded and stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Wang Ping came out holding Zhang Wei's head and said loudly, "Why don't you thank King Xiong for avenging King Ba?"
Everyone then came to their senses and saluted Du Fu. This battle was inexplicable, but everyone had known for a long time that Zhang Wei and the King of Ba were not on good terms. Who could have thought that they would fight at a banquet
Li Hu led all the Ba warriors to kneel down and shouted: "King Xiong avenged King Ba. We are willing to accept King Xiong as the new King Ba."
There were several gods' messengers following Pu Hulai. When they saw Yuan Yue was killed, they thought it was a good opportunity to become a higher-level witch god, so they quickly walked to Du Fu, chanted a spell, and granted him the wisdom and power of King Ba!
The guards of King Ba also knelt down one after another. They did not belong to any tribe and were only loyal to the temple and King Ba. Although no one from the Qiang tribe had ever served as King Ba, they had no choice!
Finally, the day has changed. Du Fu suppressed his excitement, raised his sword and said loudly: "Although the King of Ba is dead, we are facing a powerful enemy. We must cheer up as soon as possible. I will go to Dangqu to discuss countermeasures now. I hope you can be a witness."
