Chapter 173: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
The mouth had just opened, and the syllables had not yet had time to be pronounced in the throat.
Burst! A dazzling white mang suddenly appeared, making everyone see a flower in front of them.
Followed by another soft bang, Zhao Wei's head rolled down on the smooth ground of the high platform, and red blood gushed out from his headless neck like a fountain, intertwined with the blood rain in the sky.
He Jianbai seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of him, he staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground with a stumble.
Fortunately, Wang Zixuan stretched out his hand to support him, He Jianbai stretched out his hand and pointed at He Zhangwen opposite, but he couldn't say a complete sentence intermittently.
"You, you, you."
He Zhangwen put the sword into the sheath, and reached out to pick up the tiger talisman that fell to the ground, but suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and Sun Changwu picked up the overlapping tiger talisman.
The killing intent in He Zhangwen's eyes flashed, and he withdrew and retreated to the rear, distancing himself from Sun Changwu.
He Jianbai seemed to have finally recovered from the shock at this time, he pointed at He Zhangwen and scolded, "Who told you to kill him? Without Zhao Wei, who will mobilize these tens of thousands of forbidden troops?"
Sun Changwu glanced at the tiger talisman in his hand and discovered the problem at just a glance.
The tiger talisman interface is actually prominent, which also explains.
The tiger talisman that He Jianbai showed was not the one that the emperor handed over to him for safekeeping, as he said, but just an imitation.
At this moment, Sun Changwu felt a slight coolness on his body, he looked up sharply, and just saw that He Zhangwen was staring at him, with a coldness in his eyes.
Sun Changwu just snorted coldly, turned around and was about to tell Wang Zixuan about the tiger talisman.
But Wang Zixuan preemptively said: "This kind of pickled goods, if you die, you will die, and the top priority is to mobilize the forbidden army first, and enter the city to quell the chaos."
He Jianbai's expression changed, and he seemed to count He Zhangwen's pass, and then said, "What Wang Yingying said is extremely true, the longer we delay here, the deeper the pain of the people in the city."
Sun Changwu clenched the tiger talisman in his hand and looked at Wang Zixuan, who had an anxious look, but finally did not expose the tiger talisman in public.
He Zhangwen saw that Sun Changwu did not expose them, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
I saw him walk quickly in front of He Jianbai, clasped his fists and said, "Father, it's not easy to deal with the group of Qiu Ba below, didn't you say that you joined the army just now? Long before we came, they had already assembled on their own, wanting to enter the city to quell the chaos, and now we ascend to the heights and shout, and then use the tiger talisman as proof, if anyone dares not to obey, they will be beheaded immediately!"
He Jianbai pondered slightly, nodded and said, "So far, there is only this way, what about the Tiger Talisman?"
He Zhangwen turned to look at Sun Changwu, but he didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Wang Zixuan said in a deep voice, "Brother Sun, what are you doing with other people's tiger talismans? Hurry up and hand it over to He Xiang!"
Sun Changwu's eyes flashed with coldness, but he still threw the tiger talisman to He Zhangwen.
He Zhangwen deliberately clenched his fists and said, "Thank you!"
The sarcasm in his words was even heard by Wang Zixuan and He Jianbai on the side.
He Jianbai coughed lightly: "Zhang Wen! Don't be rude."
Wang Zixuan said, "Brother Sun, focus on the overall situation, don't be like a posterior boy."
Sun Changwu's expression did not change, but there was a nameless anger burning in his heart.
This kind of villain steals a high position, and now he dares to provoke a martial artist of the Three Realms, it is really arrogant and a little too much, and when this matter is over, he Sun Changwu will definitely go to this so-called Prime Minister's Mansion to sit down.
As He Zhangwen said, the soldiers below gradually restored their previous order under the orders of the prime minister.
The burly man who took the lead in the mutiny was also loosened, and was personally appointed by He Zhangwen as the captain of the first battalion.
Good and bad are always in a thought.
The battalions were restored, tens of thousands of horses stood in three phalanxes in turn, and the military capacity was also very tight.
He Jianbai was just about to give the order to be pulled, but He Zhangwen, who was standing on the side, suddenly attached himself to his ear and whispered something
Yes.
He Jianbai's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at He Zhangwen, and there seemed to be hesitation in his eyes.
He Zhangwen directly crossed He Jianbai and shouted to the soldiers below: "Brothers, led by the captains of each battalion, return to the battalion to prepare armor and weapons, and after an hour, listen to my commander's account to assemble."
Wang Zixuan's expression changed, and he stepped forward and grabbed He Zhangwen's sleeve and said, "Gongzi He, what are you doing here?" Saving people is like fighting fire, how can the people in the city wait an hour now?"
After speaking, he looked at He Jianbai and said, "Old He, hurry up and mobilize the forbidden army into the city to quell the rebellion!"
Sun Changwu's momentum changed, and his martial arts divine will turned into a qi and released his body, and the terrifying sense of oppression instantly overwhelmed the He father and son.
Wang Zixuan didn't stop Sun Changwu this time, if it was really like what He Zhangwen just said.
They rushed over to mobilize the army in a hurry, weren't they like a few fools, who were tricked by He Zhangwen.
He Jianbai's expression was slightly flustered, and he just wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.
He Zhangwen said coldly: "I know that you are not mortals, but there are millions of people in the city, I don't believe that the two of you can protect them from house to house, if there are no tens of thousands of forbidden troops below, you will have no way to deal with this disaster!"
Wang Zixuan said angrily, "Since you know! Then why let them pull it out after an hour?"
He Zhangwen Zhenzhen said: "The mob and ruffians in the city colluded with the officials to make trouble, either with knives or sticks in their hands, and let these soldiers arrest them with their bare hands? Why? Repair the weapons and armor, there are cavalry among these tens of thousands of people, and I still feel that it is not enough to gather again in an hour!"
Wang Zixuan didn't understand army scheduling, and the forbidden army was stationed on the outskirts of the capital all year round, and the most he usually did was to wear armor and practice with silver guns and candles.
Most of the weapons are piled up in the arsenal, and what He Zhangwen said is not unreasonable, this rebellion is unusual, the emperor died, and the news of the destruction of the imperial palace will spread throughout the capital in the shortest possible time.
The degree of evil done by those mobs can be imagined, the capital has been a mixed place since ancient times, and there are countless underground gangs, and after losing the deterrence of the imperial order, it is possible for these people to do any kind of evil things.
Sun Changwu said coldly: "Don't be alarmist there, tens of thousands of forbidden troops are dispatched, the deterrent effect brought by this large group of men and horses alone is enough to make the mob flee, and then we will take action and punish a few of the first evil, and the crisis will naturally be resolved!"
Wang Zixuan couldn't stop nodding after hearing this, but unexpectedly, He Zhangwen snorted coldly and said, "Isn't the life of the brother of the forbidden army a life? If the forbidden army suffers heavy casualties due to sloppy combat preparations, who should bear this loss?"
Sun Changwu was too lazy to listen to his strong words, so he stepped forward directly, pinched He Zhangwen's Adam's apple, and said sharply: "You can't send troops or not!"
He Jianbai's face was pale, and he wanted to come forward to mediate, but he was suppressed by Sun Changwu's anger and couldn't move.
He Zhangwen's expression gradually became hideous, and he roared without showing weakness: "If you have the ability, you will kill me, I will not risk the lives of my brothers!"
