Zhou Weiming was so angry today that he didn't go to receive those rich believers all day. Because he saw a man, a man he thought he should be going to the Holy Capital soon.

When he knew that Wang Liang and the others were ambushed, he knew that it would be difficult for him to stay in Liangzhou. Wang Liang is dead, and the secret technique of the Vulcan Cannon is lost. The person who ambushed was still Zhu Zhang, the first strategist of the Liangwang Mansion.

It's just that he didn't expect the Coldcoat Legion to come so quickly. The Vulcan Sect master who had escaped, and less than half a day after returning to Xipingguan, Bai Wushu actually personally brought five hundred iron horsemen to surround Xipingguan. This made his escape plan directly stillborn.

Since there is no escape, it can only be faced.

Zhou Weiming put on his red robe that he would only wear during the most important ceremonies, and brought all the people of the Liangzhou Fire God Sect, a total of seventy-five people, opened the heavy gate of Xipingguan, walked through the gate, and faced the cold-clothed army outside the door.

Zhou Weiming looked at the well-formed cold-clothed army formation in front of him, put on a majestic look, and said, "What does General Bai mean by this, why do you want to lead troops to besiege my Xipingguan." ”

Bai Wudi obviously didn't expect Zhou Weiming to come out so swaggeringly, and was a little surprised, he looked at Zhu Zhang on the side, wanting him to come up with an idea.

Zhu Zhang smiled, took over the conversation, and said, "Bishop Zhou is so majestic. Commander Bai found out the evidence of your and other Vulcan Sect's fornicating with Beimu, and specially brought troops to get people. ”

"Nonsense!" Zhou Weiming said fearlessly, "My Vulcan Sect is the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, how can I fornicate with Beimu?" If you bring troops around me today, if you let the high priest know. I will tell Your Majesty that you will be divided into five horses to pay homage to the god of fire. ”

Zhou Weiming brought out the high priest, hoping to put pressure on Zhu Zhang, so that he could be more restrained in his work.

It's just that Zhu Zhang obviously didn't care, took out the letter from his arms, and said with Zhou Weiming's golden seal: "Yesterday I was out on a tour and met a group of people in plain clothes in the north. Because of his suspicious appearance, he reported to Commander Bai. The White Commander sent people to search them, and found evidence of their fornication with Beimu from them. This golden seal is Bishop Zhou's red robe seal. ”

Zhou Weiming glanced at the golden seal, and then at Li Mingyi on the side, how could he not know that he had been tricked. Just trying to condemn him is not enough.

Zhou Weiming said: "I was stolen by someone a few days ago with this gold seal. Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for helping me find it. As for the letter, Zhou did not know who wrote it. ”

Zhu Zhang didn't debate with him, but just said: "In this case, everyone in Xipingguan will go with me to the Cold Clothes Legion." Once the review is completed and everyone is proven innocent, we will naturally release you. ”

"Bold." Zhou Weiming was furious, he didn't expect the other party to want to rely on these almost non-probative evidence to take down everyone in Xipingguan. This simply doesn't take the Vulcan cult into account. Up to now, no one has ever dared to directly detain a bishop of a state.

"My Vulcan Sect is the state religion of His Majesty. I am a red-robed bishop appointed by the first emperor. You wait for a martial artist, how can you arrest me? Even if we are guilty, we will be tried and convicted by the Shoji Division. ”

Zhu Zhang didn't reason with him at all, and said directly: "Zongzheng Si is too far away, far away in the Holy Capital City. In Liangzhou, everything can be dictated by the king of Xiliang. King Xiliang went to Shengjing and handed over the matter to the third prince of Liang. The third prince said that you are guilty, that is guilty. You'd better come with us first, so as not to see each other in time. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was clear that today was to arrest the Vulcan Sect. Obviously, Zhu Zhang didn't plan to reason with Zhou Weiming. But looking at the swords flickering in front of him, Zhou Weiming couldn't make sense, so he could only move out of the high priest again.

Zhou Weiming said: "My Xiping Guan is one of the six great imperial gifts of the Fire God Sect. You are so reckless, let the high priest know, and he will not let you go. When the time comes, you will definitely pay the price. ”

Zhu Zhang really didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he turned his head to Bai Wushu and said, "General Bai, let's do it." ”

Bai Wudi hesitated a little and asked, "Mr. Zhu, is this a bit excessive." ”

Zhu Zhang said: "This is what King Liang meant. ”

Hearing this, Bai Wushu no longer hesitated, and directly gave an order, saying: "The soldiers in cold clothes obey the order and arrest all the Vulcan Sect soldiers, and those who resist will be killed." ”

Hearing Bai Wudi's order, Zhou Weiming knew that today was already a big deal.

Zhou Weiming tore open his red robe, but inside was a set of armor shining with cold light. He shouted, "All the cultists are protective. The god of fire is equal to me. ”

"The god of fire is equal to me."

Seventy-five Vulcan cultists also drew their blades.

Bai Invincible was also prepared, and the soldiers of the Winter-Coated Legion directly took out the crossbow arrows, which was directly a volley. How could Zhou Weiming expect the other party to come up and use the hard crossbow in the army. Directly in the chest, he was hit by an arrow.

The people of the Vulcan Sect did not dare to rush hard, dragged the injured Zhou Weiming, took three rounds of crossbow arrows and returned to the Xiping Temple, and closed the heavy gate.

Li Mingyi watched Zhou Weiming being dragged away, and secretly said that it was a pity. It would be nice if Zhou Weiming could be shot directly to death just now.

Xiping Temple is obviously not a simple temple. At the beginning of the establishment of the Vulcan Cult, it seemed that it knew that this place would be besieged, and the walls were built high and thick. The gate was also made of heavy oak and covered with iron sheets, which could not be breached unless siege engines were used.

The Coldcoat Legion came in a hurry, and would not bring any siege equipment, so they could only watch the closed door, and there was nothing they could do for a while.

Li Mingyi looked at the closed door and asked Zhu Zhang, "Master, should we go to make a rushing car and knock this gate open." ”

Bai Wushu couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "This rushing car will take more than ten days, should I wait here to besiege it for more than ten days?" It's better to have someone find a rope, I'll find a group of skilled sergeants, and just go in and open the door. ”

"There's no need to be that troublesome." Zhu Zhang said, "I asked people to notify Lu Gongtang and let them get the Vulcan Cannon." Just try the power of this cannon. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw four wagons towing two Vulcan cannons not far away.

Bai Wuyi looked at these two big guys and said, "It's okay, I've only tried cannons in the field before." This time it's just a good time to see the power of this artillery siege. ”

Lu Gongtang pulled the cannon and came with an iron head. Obviously, they attached great importance to this test. More than a dozen craftsmen were sent at once. Many of the soldiers in the Wintercoat Legion also saw the Vulcan cannon for the first time, and they were all looking at the two large iron pipes curiously.

Lu Tietou came over and asked, "Commander Bai, Mr. Zhu, the third son, I don't know what I want to fight when I bring the cannon over." ”

Zhu Zhang pointed to the gate of Xipingguan and said, "If you see that door, you can break it." ”

Lu Tietou glanced at the wooden door of Xipingguan, and always felt that Mr. Zhu was making a fuss, and this small wooden door actually needed to use the Vulcan cannon. I knew that he had brought some gunpowder to blow it up.

However, before coming, Lu Dali explained that this time he must demonstrate the Vulcan Cannon, which is related to Lu Gongtang's status in Liangzhou.

At that moment, Lu Tietou did not dare to slack off, and operated the two artillery pieces with his own hands.

Soon, the Vulcan cannon was loaded with ammunition, and Lu Tietou let everyone disperse. Personally lit the lead.

As the lead burned out, two loud bangs, accompanied by gunsmoke, resounded throughout Liangzhou City. The iron-clad gate of Xipingguan collapsed suddenly, revealing the frightened faces inside the door.

The soldiers of the Winter-Coated Legion outside the door also saw this cannon for the first time, and they collectively stood still on the spot and did not react.

Bai Wushu came back to his senses for the first time, and shouted angrily: "Why are you staying, why don't you go in and arrest people quickly." ”

Hearing this, the Coldcoat Legion moved and began to kill in the West Plain Temple. Li Mingyi also woke up from the shock, patted Lu Tietou's shoulder, and followed the cold-clothed army towards the view.

The gate was blasted open, Zhou Weiming knew that there was nothing to do, and led everyone to retreat to the main hall of Xiping Temple, under the statue of the god of fire.

Facing the soldiers of the Cold-Coated Legion who rushed in, Zhou Weiming shouted: "Stop, we are all people of the Ming Kingdom, there is no need to kill each other." ”

After he finished shouting, Zhu Zhang asked Bai Wushu to temporarily stop the Coldcoat Legion. It's just around this group of Vulcan cultists.

Zhu Zhang said: "If Bishop Zhou is willing to commit suicide, we will not embarrass the rest. Only send them out of Liangzhou. ”

Zhou Weiming looked at the group of sectarians who followed him to Liangzhou and established the Xiping Temple. Yue Yue came out and said, "Okay, it's just that before I die, I have a question I want to ask the third son." ”

Li Mingyi didn't expect him to call his name, but he was not afraid, and directly came out of the crowd and said, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

Zhou Weiming looked at him and asked, "I wonder if my deal with the third prince that day is still counted?" ”

The deal he was talking about was obviously referring to supporting Li Mingyi to become the king of Xiliang. If he hadn't said it, Li Mingyi would have forgotten about it a long time ago.

Li Mingyi asked, "Is it still useful to talk about this now?" Bishop Zhou still has the ability to negotiate a deal with me? ”

Zhou Weiming said: "The third prince doesn't care whether I have the ability or not, just answer me if you are willing to continue trading." ”

In order to find out what kind of medicine Zhou Weiming was selling in his gourd, Li Mingyi nodded and said, "Naturally, I am willing." ”

"Okay, since the third prince is willing, then my Vulcan Sect will definitely fulfill its promise." After Zhou Weiming finished speaking, he said to Bai Wuyi, "Commander Bai is willing to guarantee that my group of sect members will arrive in Bingzhou safely." ”

Bai Wushu nodded and said, "Everyone is a citizen of the Ming Kingdom, so Bai will naturally not increase the killing in vain." ”

After receiving Bai Wuving's assurance, Zhou Weiming turned to the Vulcan Sect behind him and said, "Today I will throw myself into the arms of the Vulcan, you leave Liangzhou and decide for yourself to stay." ”

After saying this, Zhou Weiming solemnly kowtowed three more times to the statue of the god of fire, and then suddenly drew his sword and killed himself.

When the Vulcan disciples saw him dead, they did not grieve, but sat down on their knees and chanted for him. The crowd watched silently, and no one said anything to stop them.
