Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wind Rises
Long Yao didn't expect that the Dragon Worship Sect would be so bold as to send someone to assassinate him. Although he sent some dead soldiers to act with Qianyunyue and them, it didn't mean that there was no one around him, and after a hard battle, he finally survived the first assassination without danger.
But the bad news that came next made him a little restless, General Zuo was assassinated and died, General Right was missing, and even General Zhenguo was seriously injured and unconscious, and the killers they sent could not be identified at all. After the incident, the national teacher claimed that it was the enemy country, and had issued martial law for the whole city, and arrested many ministers on trumped-up charges of collaborating with the enemy. For a time, the government and the opposition were shaken, everyone was in danger, and many people switched to the camp of the Dragon Worship Sect.
"Zhao Yinlong's hand is really vicious." Qianyunyue has also gotten the news here. As soon as they left Golden Moon City, they were attacked for the second time, this time the other party actually sent more than a dozen demon bodies, and after a bloody battle, they lost three dead soldiers, and it seemed that the road ahead was worrying.
And in the current situation, they don't have enough manpower, and if the other party sends more manpower next time, it will be troublesome. Qian Yunyue thought about it, and it seemed that she had to find some help.
"Hmph, although we didn't kill the prince, but the current situation has turned to our side, as long as we kill those two adventurers and destroy the evidence, it will be our victory." Xu Hu was triumphant, the effect of this assassination was very good, it not only deterred those who intended to deal with them, but also the army did not have to worry, without the leading generals, what could be done in a plate of scattered sand.
"Don't let your guard down, there's no guarantee that there won't be any variables until the big picture is decided. Strengthen the surveillance of the crown prince, don't give him a chance to unite the remaining people, and find another way to get the left general's talisman, and the right general who escaped has been found? "Zhao Yinlong is still much calmer, he can climb to the position of the sect leader with great scheming, and he relies on caution.
"The subordinates have sent people to hunt down and kill the right general, and the left general's talisman has been handed back to the military department, and I am afraid it will not be easy to get. The subordinates are already thinking of a way to see if they can control the military department. The other ministers are currently in a wait-and-see state, not daring to act rashly, although the prime minister is the prince's teacher, but he is old and frail, and the general of Zhenguo is currently unconscious, so he should not pose any threat to us. Xu Hu gave a detailed report on the current situation.
"Well, then the top priority is to give priority to disposing of that convoy and send more manpower, and we must not let them return to the imperial city alive." Zhao Yinlong knew very well that the biggest hidden danger at the moment was Qian Yunyue and Ling Ziyan, and the second attack sent a considerable number of demon bodies, but they were still resisted.
Qian Yunyue and his party have already left the official road and made a detour, although the speed of progress will be much slower in this way, but for the sake of safety, they can only do this for now, the offensive of the Dragon Worship Sect will only become more and more fierce, and a head-on conflict is really the next policy.
"Qiandaxia, the prince has sent a contact, he will try to get out of the city and join us in the Taizhou City area." Geng showed the flying pigeon biography he had just received to Qianyunyue.
Qian Yunyue nodded, it was very dangerous for Long Yao to continue to stay in the Imperial City, and the Dragon Worship Sect would definitely find a way to assassinate him again. But once you get out of the city, you will be chased more fiercely, and the current situation is really not good.
Although they made a detour, they were already very close to Taizhou City, and they had temporarily avoided the attack of the Bailong Sect. These days they are all taking turns to rest, except for changing horses in the town, they do not stop on the road.
Entering the Taizhou City area, the convoy replaced the last batch of horses, and quickly rushed to the agreed meeting place. Qian Yunyue has always had an ominous premonition, the Dragon Worship Sect has not found them for a long time, and it will definitely be ambushed in front of them, and if they happen to run into the prince and the others, it will be troublesome.
However, it was really mistaken by Qianyunyue, and when they arrived at the meeting place, the two sides were already facing each other.
"Boldly worship the Dragon Sect, and assassinate the prince in broad daylight, what crime should he be!" It turned out to be the right general whose whereabouts were unknown, and it turned out that the prince had already found him first. But as soon as they met, the Dragon Worshippers came after them.
"Hmph, as long as you are killed, who else in the world dares to touch the sect master's country." Liang Chu, a high-ranking priest led by the Dragon Worship Sect, has now been promoted to a great priest. He was originally ordered to hunt down General You, but he didn't expect to accidentally bump into the prince, and the two adventurers and the convoy also arrived, if he could kill all these people, then wouldn't he be a great achievement.
At this time, the dragon worshippers who were originally ambushed to attack the convoy also received orders to rush, and the scene was chaotic, on one side was headed by the crown prince, including more than 20 people including General Right and Qian Yunyue and others, on the other hand, there were more than a dozen Bailong Sect priests, plus more than 40 mixed demon bodies, Qian Yunyue and others also had to guard the carriage to protect the evidence, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
Qian Yunyue thought about it, and summoned Xiao Yan and Ling Ziyan to guard the carriage together, and support the prince's side in guerrillas. He directly drew his sword and rushed towards Liang Chu, wanting to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Great Priest Liang Chu Level: 66 Health: 1720000 Mana: 1980000 Physical Attack: 3920-4110 Physical Defense: 1250 Magic Attack: 5840-5990 Magic Defense: 1490
This person's combat power is not as good as Mo Sen, but he is more cunning than Mo Sen, he saw Qian Yunyue rushing towards him, and directly commanded the three bastard demon bodies to step forward to block Qian Yunyue's way, and then he slipped to the other side.
It's really troublesome, Qian Yunyue frowned, the strength of the mixed demon body is strong, although he can kill two or three at the same time in a state of amplification, but there are too many people on the other side, and I am afraid that the prince's side will not be able to support it for long.
"Brother Qian, brother is here to help you." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the air.
Qian Yunyue looked up and was overjoyed, his reinforcements finally arrived, two days ago he sent a message to Feng Dingwu, although the people of Tianjian Sect do not go out of the mountain gate on weekdays, but this time since Qian Yunyue spoke, they will definitely help with this favor, after all, they still owe Qian Yunyue a big favor. And I listened to Qian Yunyue tell the whole story, what a cult like the Dragon Worship Sect has done is really intolerable, and if it continues to run rampant like this, Dongshengguo will be in chaos, as a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it is incumbent on him to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil. So Feng Dingwu immediately brought more than a dozen Heavenly Sword Sect elites down the mountain and rushed over, just in time for this scuffle.
"What?!" Liang Chu was shocked when he saw that the other party actually came to reinforcements. Feng Dingwu and the others who participated in the war as NPCs have completely different attributes from before, the average level is 62, and Feng Dingwu is already level 67. As soon as the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect joined the battle, the situation immediately changed. The crowd was so angry and invincible that they began to fight back, and soon eliminated nearly half of the enemy.
Liang Chu saw that the situation was not good, turned around and wanted to slip away, how could Qian Yunyue and the others allow him to escape. Xiao Bai pounced and held him down directly, Liang Chu hurriedly unfolded the protective shield, and then commanded the demon body to go over to save him, but unfortunately no matter how he struggled, he couldn't get rid of Xiao Bai's suppression. Liang Chu, who had only been a great priest for a few days, had already become a ghost under the sword of Qianyunyue before he had time to show off his martial arts.
Without the leader, the remaining priests were in a mess, dying and fleeing, and the mixed demon body was quickly resolved, although the losses were not small, more than a dozen of the subordinates brought by the prince were killed. However, the final victory was finally achieved.
Qian Yunyue looked at the battlefield full of corpses and was silent, war is really cruel, and people who have not experienced it will not understand it at all.
"Thanks to the two heroes this time, who are these others?" The prince came over, and he was also not lightly injured, and his white robe was stained with blood red.
"These are the worldly masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I specially invited them to help." Qian Yunyue came back to her senses and hurriedly introduced.
"Thank you for your help, Long Yao is really grateful." Long Yao was in despair before, he didn't expect Qian Yunyue to be able to bring such a powerful rescuer.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be polite, the Dragon Worship Sect has done a lot of injustice, and the heavens are intolerable, and my Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely do my best to help, eradicate the cult, and restore peace to the world." Feng Dingwu hurriedly stepped forward to help Long Yao.
"We also want to thank all the chivalrous people for their great help, this is the blessing of my eastern victory and the blessing of all people." At this time, the right general Wang Sheng also led everyone over to salute and thank Qian Yunyue and the others.
"Master, what do you think?" Xu Hu looked at the angry Zhao Yinlong in fear, he thought that the plan was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect it to fail.
"The matter has come to this point, don't do anything, immediately gather all the manpower to the headquarters, and prepare the demon army. We directly captured the palace and took him to the east to win the dynasty. Zhao Yinlong's face was hideous, and he didn't bother to hide it anymore, the chips in his hand were enough, and it was time for him to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
At this time, Qian Yunyue and his party were resting in an inn in a small town three hundred miles away from Tianlong City. Suddenly, news came that the Bailong Sect had captured the palace and announced that the whole country would prosper and those who rebelled would die.
"Bastard Worship the Dragon! Unexpectedly, he had the audacity to plot to usurp the throne! Long Yao was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.
"Your Highness, don't be too anxious, the more we are at this moment, the more we must deal with it calmly." The two of them have already received the last task, to eliminate Zhao Yinlong, the leader of the Worship Dragon Sect, and eradicate the forces of the Worship Dragon Sect.
"Without further ado, the last general will immediately rush back to the barracks to stabilize the morale of the army, and be ready to crusade against the rebels at any time." Wang Sheng immediately stepped forward to ask for help.
"Well, there's General Law." Long Yao also knew that now was the critical moment, he was the backbone, and he must not mess up. "Send someone to contact the ministers immediately, and it is best to get General Zuo's talisman from the military department Shangshu. I don't know how General Zhenguo is doing now. ”
"The old man is not dead yet." At this moment, a man walked in from the outside on crutches.
"Second uncle!" Long Yao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the person who came was Long Yifei, the general of Dongshengguo Town, who was also Long Yao's second uncle. "Why are you here, are you okay?"
"Hmph, the little thief of the Dragon Worship Sect, it is not so easy to want the life of the old man." Although Long Yifei is over the age of six, he is still old and strong, and although he was seriously injured before, he can barely walk around now. "But I'm afraid the royal brother has ......"
