You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 95: Capturing the King (5000 words)
"Where do all these bandits come from? Do those refugees outside the city really dare to enter my Xuzhou City? Aren't they afraid of losing their heads?"

King Kang paced back and forth in the middle of the mansion. He put his left thumb in his mouth and bit it hard, breaking the nail and sucking the flesh on the thumb until it turned red.

He was panicking and anxious, sweat began to drip down his forehead, he couldn't sit still or stand properly, he walked to the shelf, pulled out the long sword from it, but he didn't know whether he should take it or not.

If it was his uncle, he would have had his personal soldiers ready their armor and carried their swords to fight the invaders to the death. But if it was his cousin, he would have opened the courtyard wide, had his servants set out a feast, and invited the invaders to have a drink together.

But he can't.

He is not that powerful, nor that magnanimous, nor that capable.

The reason why my uncle dared to do that was because he had eight thousand cavalry under his command, and a general who was at the level of a fairy on earth. He was the most capable person to fight for the world now!

My cousin dared to do this because she is broad-minded and confident enough in her political skills. If there was really someone who wanted to oppose her, she would definitely invite him to a banquet and ask him what she had done wrong.

If he did that, I'm afraid his head would fall to the ground in no time!

He could only hope that his soldiers could enter the main hall and protect him from leaving here.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came in, and I started to get anxious.

It's impossible that all his men were killed in such a short time?
Where do these low-class evil people get such great power?

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw something floating in the corridor. He was overjoyed, thinking that his men had finally arrived, but he immediately discovered that the thing had no lower body!

"What a sneaky thing! How dare you enter Prince Kang's mansion!"

King Kang shouted urgently, but his legs had already gone limp.

Finally, the small shadow floated into the hall. King Kang took a closer look and found that what flew in was actually just a piece of rag!

But as he stared at the piece of rag, King Kang felt his heart twitching.

His abilities were far inferior to those of his relatives, but at least his vision was not that bad. He thought that this piece of land did not look like a blessing or something like that. With just one glance, he could feel that black air seemed to be rising from it, which was terrifying!
Who cast this evil spell?
I know that if I continue to stand here, I will definitely be entangled by this thing!

Without caring about anything else, he gripped the sword tightly and stabbed directly at the strip of cloth.

But when he chopped down with his sword, the cloth strip jumped lightly in the air, dodged King Kang's blow, and then accelerated to fly towards his back.

King Kang was shocked and opened his mouth, and suddenly a stream of evil air gushed out of his mouth.

The black evil air rolled up like smoke and went straight to the rag, enveloping it in the blink of an eye. The entire hall was immediately filled with a foul smell.

After he exhaled, King Kang's body, which was originally as round as a ball, became a little thinner, and his face turned pale, as if he had just done some heavy physical labor.

This was a magical power presented to him by the noble families under his command, called "Transforming Hundred Foods into Filth". It could store the delicious food he usually ate in his body and turn it into foul air and spray it out at the necessary moment.

If a mortal is hit by this evil energy, he will die instantly on the spot and his whole body will swell up. Other spells hit by the evil energy will also be contaminated by the filth in it and will stick to the ground and be unable to move.

In terms of combat capability alone, the princes are certainly not as good as their own generals, but they have plenty of resources and connections, and naturally they have no shortage of magical powers to save their lives.

The only problem with this magical power is that it consumes too much physical energy. King Kang is not willing to work, so using this magical power is extremely harmful to his body.

Seeing that the evil aura had not yet dissipated, King Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know who came up with the recipe, but it was hit directly by his magical power, so it should have been cracked at least.

Just as this thought came to his mind, a strip of cloth suddenly emerged from the black fog and landed on King Kang's back.

"Ow!"

King Kang let out a sharp scream, and fell to the ground with his entire body pissed and shit flowing out. He stretched out his hands to his back, trying to get the printed cloth off.

But he couldn't even touch his back. His left hand could only reach the back of his neck, and his right hand could only reach his butt. He was so anxious that he ran around in place.

Then he suddenly remembered that this thing seemed to be just stuck to his clothes, so he hurriedly tried to take off his robe.

As a result, when I was halfway through mopping the bag, I suddenly felt a pain in my back.

When I turned around, I realized that my clothes had grown to my back along with the skin!
His fat face turned green at that moment.

I used a little force and felt my back aching as if it were being cut by a knife, so I stopped with tears in my eyes.

The entire strip of cloth and the skin were inlaid together, and the edge part looked like it was sewn on with a small needle and cotton thread. Just taking off the clothes made King Kang feel extremely painful, not to mention tearing off the strip of cloth!
Finally, several guards rushed into the corridor. They looked panicked and looked around. They were the people that Old Sun had asked someone to find to protect the emperor.

"Your Highness Prince Kang! Your Highness Prince Kang!"

After entering the hall, these soldiers immediately saw King Kang with his upper body naked, revealing his fat body.

The clothes he was wearing were stuck on his back, half taken off and half put on, making him look like a fat worm that was turning into half a fly.

The soldiers were dumbfounded and didn't even know what to say for a moment.

After standing there for two or three breaths, an old soldier swallowed his saliva, pretended that he had seen nothing, took two quick steps forward, and knelt down before King Kang.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. We will escort you to the carriage and leave immediately."

King Kang no longer cared about the cloth strip on his back. He waited until he was in a safe place before thinking carefully about how to get rid of the prescription.

He hurriedly put on his coat and followed a few soldiers out.

Walking along the corridor, jogging all the way, King Kang suddenly sprained his ankle, not knowing whether it was because of anxiety or something else.

With a loud bang, King Kang sat down on the ground, holding his left foot and began to wail.

The soldier leading the way in front was startled. He went up to King Kang and saw that his ankle was completely red and swollen, and it was obviously broken!
Seeing that King Kang's ankle was sprained like this, they knew that King Kang would definitely not be able to walk, so the soldiers simply stepped forward to support King Kang and planned to drag him up and lead him to the door.

But King Kang was so heavy that even these soldiers could hardly drag him.

They carried it like this for a while, and then they heard a few sounds of broken bones, and the voice of King Kang crying for his parents could be heard again.

Another broken rib.

The soldiers' faces turned green.

I never felt that their Lord King Kang was so fragile before. How come something bad happened after he took two steps today?
Seeing that King Kang was about to faint from the pain, the few people did not dare to delay and could only quicken their pace and walk out of the courtyard.

Only after they walked out of the mansion did the soldiers feel a little relieved.

We have already walked out of the mansion and reached the secret passage. There will be no one catching up with us.

……

Xiao Changcheng cut off the neck of the last soldier with a knife. Blood flowed all over the ground. The corpses were piled up. He stood in the middle of the corpses like a god of death.

When he realized that ordinary swords and knives could not cause any harm to him, he chose to fight with his life.

This tactic is indeed very good, and many evil enemies were killed in the blink of an eye.

I touched my back lightly and could still feel the effect of the warm talisman. I guess it must be Taoist Zuo who was helping me secretly.

After collecting his thoughts, Xiao Changcheng looked in the direction where the arrow came from, but found nothing there.

While he was killing people, the arrows never stopped flying. They were basically aimed at Xiao Changcheng's fatal parts, such as the eyes, throat, or heart, without stopping for a moment.

Only after all five arrows hit Xiao Changcheng did the man holding the bow finally give up, and now it seems he has run away.

He didn't chase the man either. Xiao Changcheng knew that he had spent a little too long at the back door. If he didn't go in to chase King Kang, the guy might get away!
The entire Kang Wang Mansion is in chaos now. The guests at the main gate are fighting with the coach and his soldiers. There is no time to take care of the rear. This is a good opportunity.

"Follow me inside!"

He whispered to a few of his men behind him and rushed directly into the hinterland.

Caiyi also limped along, hopping on one foot at a fast pace. When they reached the main gate of the palace, a long corridor had appeared in front of Xiao Changcheng. As long as he continued to rush in, he would reach King Kang's residence.

However, at this moment, Xiao Changcheng's pace suddenly slowed down, and the soldiers following Xiao Changcheng also slowed down their pace and looked at him with some confusion.

Xiao Changcheng frowned slightly.

For some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart:

It seemed that as long as he entered the gate of the mansion, he would miss the damn King Kang.

After hesitating for a moment, I suddenly heard Caiyi's voice from behind:
"Is this... a circus performer who can transform a living person?"

"Magic magic?" Xiao Changcheng turned around and looked at Caiyi, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Caiyi's eyes fell on the mansion, from top to bottom, from left to right, and finally stopped at the backyard:

"I used to know a juggler who taught me this trick. It's similar to the magic rope, called the Great Transfiguration of Living People, or the Qiaoerwu. It takes a long time to prepare. You have to set up a mechanism in the house first. When necessary, you can use the rope or press the mechanism to create a passage for the people in the sealed house to escape."

"I see." Xiao Changcheng nodded, finally knowing why he had this feeling.

The Prince Kang's mansion has been remodeled. If I just rush in without thinking, I'm afraid I won't be able to find Prince Kang at all!
"Where will King Kang go? Does the fairy have any advice?"

Caiyi stared at the mansion in front of her, her mind raced twice, and then she limped to the front.

"follow me."

No one dared to delay and followed Caiyi into the house.

Caiyi counted the pillars beside her while staring at the environment in the yard.

Finally, they arrived at a pavilion made of two pillars and Caiyi stopped.

There is no passage here. You can only see a stone path between the two pillars, extending to a rockery.

The ground was covered with gravel, and there was a small pond next to the rockery. Ornamental carp were swimming in the pond, and the firelight in the city was reflected on the surface of the water.

The fish swam freely, as if completely unaware that Xuzhou City was in turmoil.

At first glance, this seems to be a place for viewing the scenery.

Xiao Changcheng couldn't see anything special about this, but he found that Caiyi went to the left pillar, bent her fingers and knocked on it twice.

"Dong dong."

This column is empty!

"Come here, two strong men! Cut where I point!"

Hearing Caiyi's words, two big men walked out from among the soldiers, started working on both sides, holding big swords, and swung their weapons at the pillars.

"boom!"

Sawdust flew and pillars cracked, and people around were surprised to find that there was a rope tied inside the pillar!
Caiyi reached out and pulled the rope.

"Dingling bell~"

I heard the sound of wind chimes coming from somewhere, and then I looked at the courtyard again, and found that the rockery and bluestone path were gone. Instead, there was a wooden plank passage leading directly to the outside of the courtyard!

There actually is a secret passage!
The group walked quickly along the path, and when they reached the end of the wooden path, they finally saw several soldiers helping a fat man towards the carriage.

The fat man was wearing a yellowed piece of clothing. His body looked like a ball, his clothes were disheveled, and there was a piece of rag on his back, which made him extremely conspicuous.

Xiao Changcheng had seen this person in a picture album of Xuzhou.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and fire seemed to be spitting out of them.

“King Kang!!”

With his angry shout, the fat man who was climbing onto the carriage in a panic was startled, his feet slipped, and he lost his footing on the wooden ladder next to the carriage.

With a whoosh, the whole person fell forward. The soldiers next to him couldn't even hold him up. They could only watch their prince hit his chin on the wooden steps of the carriage.

Snapped!
There was blood gushing out of his mouth, and even several teeth flew out!
Several soldiers nearby tried desperately to help King Kang up, but King Kang was already dizzy from the knock, and his body was so limp that he couldn't use any strength. He lay on the ground, grunting like a pig, and couldn't get up.

To make matters worse, the horse that was pulling the cart was frightened out of its wits by this sudden incident. It raised all four hooves high, neighed sharply, and started running away wildly. The soldiers next to it couldn't even stop it. They could only watch as this last means of escape went farther and farther away. It ran so fast!
King Kang, who was lying on the ground, struggled for most of the day before he managed to turn over. His face was covered in blood and half a tooth was still left on his chin.

At this moment, Xiao Changcheng was standing in front of him with murderous intent, and the blood on his body was like burning fire! King Zhuo Kang was trembling in his spirit!
The two guards of King Kang nearby immediately drew out their knives and chopped at Xiao Changcheng's forehead. Xiao Changcheng didn't even try to dodge and was hit on the forehead by the two knives.

With two loud bangs, the two long swords broke into two pieces. One section was bounced up, drew a few bends in the air, and stabbed into King Kang's thigh.

"Ahhh!" King Kang's roar really sounded like a pig being slaughtered.

The guards next to them were also dumbfounded. Without giving them time to react, Xiao Changcheng directly picked up the steel knife and chopped left and right. The two heads flew into the air and then fell to the ground, rolling several times and leaving a long bloody mark.

King Kang used his two arms to support himself and retreat on the ground, but how could his two arms be as fast as Xiao Changcheng's legs?
Seeing Xiao Changcheng approaching him, King Kang was already speaking incoherently:
"I am King Kang, the King of Kangshi! You can't kill me!
"If I become emperor, the world will prosper; if you kill me, there will be no salvation!

"me……"

Perhaps out of fear, King Kang suddenly opened his mouth and vomited at the bluestone slab next to him.

The entire stone slab was covered with the filth from his mouth. Some of it had been digested and its specific appearance could not be seen, while some of it had not been completely digested and could be seen to be some rare and exotic meat.

After spitting out this, King Kang seemed to be wilted, and his energy and spirit were gone.

Xiao Changcheng sneered twice and asked his men behind him to bring up a rope:
"I definitely won't kill you now. Killing you directly would be too easy for you!"

The two men quickly tied up King Kang and led him like a dog.

"You...what do you want to do?" King Kang's expression changed continuously. He had no idea what Xiao Changcheng wanted to do.

"You must have eaten a lot of rice and meat in Xuzhou." Xiao Changcheng dragged King Kang in front of him, staring at him with cold eyes: "You said you can rule the world, I think it makes sense.

"Xuzhou is not very healthy now. I plan to make a big dish to get rid of the last remaining evil in Xuzhou.

“I’ve already thought of a name for this dish, it’s called Ankang Feast!
"King Kang, shouldn't you offer yourself as the main ingredient for the Ankang Feast?"

"You…you can't, you!"

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Changcheng took out a piece of sackcloth, stuffed it into King Kang's mouth, kicked him hard on the butt, and dragged him out of the mansion.

King Kang was crying, his pants were wet, and his body was emitting a foul smell, but as soon as he slowed down a little, someone would stab him with a knife from behind, leaving several bloody marks on his body.

King Kang, who was once high and mighty, was now moving forward in a panic, like a driven animal.

Instead of going through the main entrance, he came to the street through the back door for escape.

At this moment, the main street of Xuzhou City was crowded with people. On the left side of the street were the troops led by King Kang, and on the right side were the soldiers following the coach, and among them were Xiao Changcheng's men.

The two sides confronted each other with weapons and the atmosphere was tense.

When Xiao Changcheng drove King Kang out, everyone stopped what they were doing and everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Changcheng.

Xiao Changcheng looked around, raised his knife and shouted:

"King Kang has been captured!"

The fire crackled behind him, making his shadow extremely large!
