The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 515 Battle Formations
As early as after the incident at Huangfu in Fukang County, Mei Qinghe had already sent news back to the capital that Li Miao was coming to Dengzhouwei.

The reason why Li Miao and his two companions never encountered any villains along the way was that as Li Miao walked forward, his subordinates swept the ground in front of him. Not to mention local bullies and tycoons, even a mad dog would have been beaten to death and dragged away long ago.

Not to mention those outlaws and evil sects...

What? You spat on the ground in Beijing 28 years ago?

Tie them up and take them with you!

If anyone in my household manages to get phlegm stuck to the soles of their feet, I'll kill your whole family!
What? You stole a child's candied hawthorn skewer thirty-two years ago?
Tie them up and take them with you!

If you continue down this path and make the child cry, causing a disturbance that reaches my command post, I will kill your entire family!
Therefore, it was impossible for "framing loyal officials" to happen in Dengzhou Guard, because for months, the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard had been keeping a close eye on this place. The Grand Secretary Zhu Zai and His Majesty the Emperor questioned them every three days. If it weren't for the numerous affairs of the court, the two would have loved to make an eastern tour and move the court to Dengzhou Guard to wait.

For this reason, Li Miao did not rush to Dengzhou Guard Prison to rescue people immediately.

Things were just as he expected.

The "wrongfully accused" Qi Jiguang and the deserted Dengzhou Guard were both traps set by An Ziyang and Qi Jiguang after collusion, in order to lure these Japanese people who had long harbored evil intentions and were eyeing Qi Jiguang covetously.

Only now has the true intentions been revealed.

"kill!!!"

After shouting, Qi Jiguang didn't wait for the Qi Family Army and the Dengzhou Guard to follow. He jumped onto the execution platform like a tiger that had been starving for months, drew a Japanese sword that was over six feet long from its scabbard, threw away the scabbard, and charged forward.

Passing past the stunned Wu Mingxiao and Ming Wanhai, and amidst the weeping gazes of countless people, he traversed a distance of several dozen feet to meet the Japanese soldiers at the forefront.

Swish!
More than a dozen Japanese swords came slashing towards him!

Qi Jiguang simply pulled his right hand down sharply, and the ridiculously long Japanese sword suddenly tilted up using his shoulder as a fulcrum, deflecting all the incoming blades.

He twisted his palm on the hilt of the knife, then reversed his grip.

The murderous intent that had been building up for months erupted.

"Qi Family Knife - T-shaped Double Kill".

The blade lying on the ground suddenly swept horizontally from the lower right to the upper left. At the peak, it changed from a reverse grip to a regular grip and then suddenly slashed back!

wow-

Blood splattered everywhere.

The excessively long blade was designed for battle and slaying. With a single move, it cleared a space in front of it!
However, this is not an arena, but a battlefield.

"Sudden attack!"

Before the corpse could fall, the crowd surrounded him, and in the next instant, more blades slashed from every direction within sight! Even more Japanese soldiers, cut in two but not yet completely dead, lunged at his legs, attempting to lock him in place!
"Ha, a beast is a beast."

They haven't even changed the way they're sending themselves to their deaths!

Qi Jiguang's gaze sharpened, and his blade spun along the ground, severing several legs as he suddenly retreated.

"Qi Family Knife".

"T-shaped return—"

As the blade in front of him missed its mark, his longsword swept behind him.

woo-

He swung the long sword straight down from behind him towards his front, and at the same time, he suddenly took a step forward!
"--kill!!!"

A loud shout, like the roar of a lion or the howl of a tiger, exploded out! Instantly, it stunned the circle of Japanese people in front of him!

The blade suddenly slashed down towards the head of the Japanese man in front of him, splitting open the Japanese sword, scalp, bones, and flesh one after another, spraying blood and flesh to both sides!

The Japanese soldiers, just recovering from the shouts, were suddenly doused with a crimson spray, their vision obstructed. In their terror, they swung their weapons blindly, trying to stop the demon-like enemy opposite them.

Suddenly, I felt a cool and a warm sensation around my waist.

He read it in a completely emotionless voice.

"Qi Family Blade - three swings forward."

A figure rushed past him, followed by a barrage of roars and screams.

The Japanese soldiers were about to raise their hands to wipe the blood from their faces when their arms fell off. When they tried to turn around, their upper bodies suddenly slid off their waists. The severed arms struggled on the ground for a few moments, crawled a short distance, and then fell silent.

This nineteen-year-old General Qi carved out a bloody path in just a few breaths, and continued to widen and extend it.

At the same time, the Qi family soldiers who had been hiding beneath the execution platform rushed forward. "Follow the Vice Commander!"

"kill!"

"Make a hole!"

"Charge in! Charge in!"

With the oldest and most skilled fighters as the vanguard, a hundred-man arrowhead formation suddenly pierced the gap opened by Qi Jiguang, widening the bloody path once again and rapidly chasing after Qi Jiguang ahead!

"Damn it! These beasts are still so ferocious!"

The Dengzhou garrison soldiers who rushed out of the dense forest also caught up. Some of them protected the civilians and retreated, while others chased after Qi Jiguang's army with all their might, cursing as they went.

"Slow down! You fucking bastards, slow down!"

"Damn it! Wait for us!"

"Lord Qianshi, rush slower!"

The footsteps were chaotic and overlapping, kicking up dust from the ground.

The battle formations crashed together with a deafening roar.

Behind the battle line, Wu Mingxiao could hardly contain his joy. He twisted his shoulders and tried to rush up to catch up with his comrades, but he couldn't break free from Li Miao's grasp. He turned back with a wronged expression.

"Brother Li, I'm going to kill the Japanese pirates."

Meanwhile, Ming Wanhai, who witnessed Qi Jiguang emerge from An Ziyang's shed and the Qi family army and Dengzhou guards rush out, finally understood everything.

At the same time, looking at the "Brother Li" in front of him, whose appearance was completely different from yesterday, and recalling An Ziyang's relieved and joyful laughter last night, he vaguely remembered something.

“You…you…”

He hesitated.

Suddenly, his vision blurred.

Then a very familiar figure appeared in front of him, standing behind "Brother Li," his pale fox-like face full of solemnity, bowing and cupping his hands.

"Commander, the matter has been taken care of. I admit my guilt for not being able to finish before your arrival and will accept punishment afterward."

"Do you think we need to intervene?"

"If needed, Brother Wang is waiting ten miles away with Commander Li, Commander Gao, and three other commanders. Commander You is nearby and can send orders at any time. In addition, Master Yongjie of Shaolin and Abbot Zhiqing of Wudang have received the news and have arrived in the vicinity."

"Commander Cao, Commander Mei, and Vice Commander Zhu have also investigated the matter of the Yang family savages, and their report has been submitted to me. It is available for your review at any time."

"Also, the old commander and His Majesty sent a message through my subordinates."

An Ziyang hesitated for a moment.

Li Miao waved his hand and smiled.

"Now, what strange things did the old man and His Majesty say again?"

An Ziyang bent down again and said in a low voice.

"The old commander told His Majesty, 'When you've had your fill of partying, come back, marry all your confidantes, and while you're at it, establish your own household and bestow titles, in preparation for future great events'..."

Li Miao scoffed.

"No, I won't reply. We'll talk about it later."

"Yes... Should I send a message regarding what's happening here?"

An Ziyang asked.

Li Miao waved his hand, smiled, and glanced ahead.

"No rush. You take your men and get the civilians away first. I think the other side has a backup plan. Let's play along with them... and also see what kind of person this General Qi is."

"I have enough men to kill the embryos."

"General, our Great Shuo is still short of people."
