Loan Wusheng

Chapter 114: Skin King Changyang and obtain the magic weapon!

"Protect the king!"

"Protect the king!"

"..."

The soldiers on the left and right guards rushed forward desperately to intercept Zheng Jun.

If they formed a formation, it would naturally be more powerful.

But time waits not for us.

The thief in front of them had already chopped off King Changyang's arms. If they formed a formation now, King Changyang would probably be dead by the time the formation was completed!

King Changyang cannot die!

They, the three guards of the royal palace, share the same fate with the king.

If the prince dies, all the officers will be executed!
As for the ordinary soldiers, they will be sent to the criminal camp and serve in the ditches on the front line!

However, as soon as he stepped forward, he was repelled by Zheng Jun's Yi Ri Liu Guang, and blood gushed out in an instant.

Zheng Jun ignored the blood-refining and energy-accumulating soldiers around him. His eagle eyes, which exuded a chilling aura, stared intently at Changyang County Prince Li You, who was howling on the ground. He was inevitably a little disappointed: "You, who are at the third level of outer energy, are easier to beat than those at the first level of outer energy."

It is obvious at first glance that the Prince of Changyang has no talent for cultivation.

It seemed that he was infused with tremendous true energy by the Yuandan Martial Saint, which helped him break through the three obstacles and made him a warrior at the third level of Waigang.

Such a warrior has almost no possibility of achieving a breakthrough.

Unless one is able to be patient, work hard on himself, and walk again the path that he has avoided by taking shortcuts, there is a possibility of breaking through to become a martial artist.

However, the Prince of Changyang is obviously not someone who can be patient.

Zheng Jun looked at the Prince of Changyang who was howling on the ground with a cold gaze. He slashed with his sword, forcing back the soldiers who wanted to come forward. Then he fluttered his sleeves, and with a burst of true energy, he rolled up the long spear.

Start cold.

Holding this long spear, Zheng Jun could feel the surging murderous intent contained in it, as if it represented the traces of killing left by its former user.

"Whoo~"

Zheng Jun exhaled a breath, wielded the long spear, looked at King Changyang who was lying on the ground and struggling to crawl backwards, and without saying anything nonsense, he stepped forward, raised the long spear high, and chopped down with all his might!
"Crack!"

The long spear directly pierced through King Changyang's shoulder, and blood splattered high. Zheng Jun just exerted force and lifted King Changyang's body up.

King Changyang screamed miserably, blood gushing out of his mouth, his body trembling, and his face filled with fear as he shouted, "Save me! You bunch of rubbish, come and save me!!!"

He no longer had the same arrogant and ruthless feeling as before.

The soldiers who had been on the parade ground nearby were all shocked by the scene. Their hair stood on end with fear and they dared not move.

In the past, the howling sounds they heard here all came from the refugee warriors who were fleeing.

Now, the prince's screams like ghosts and wolves were heard.

The descendants of this mighty emperor seem to be no different from ordinary people.

This thought suddenly occurred to the soldiers.

But after a moment of confusion, he immediately reacted. The captain who had warned earlier gritted his teeth, rushed forward, his eyes red, and said, "Protect the king!"

Immediately, three or two armored soldiers followed the captain and rushed forward together.

But, it was only for a moment.

Their heads fell to the ground without them even being able to react.

Seeing this scene, the other soldiers were even more horrified and didn't know what to do.

The impetuous young man Hou Gong was also horrified when he saw this. After being stunned for a while, he took advantage of the chaos without any hesitation and prepared to climb over the wall to escape.

It’s too scary, let’s run away!
"boom!"

Not long after Hou Gong climbed over the courtyard wall, he heard a loud noise coming from the training ground.

Hou Gong looked back, but saw only the sound of wind and thunder, and flashing golden light in the training ground, as if thunderclouds were rolling down and bringing down thunderbolts, and faintly there could be the sound of a real dragon's roar.

In the parade ground, Zheng Jun held up the long spear that he had used to fight with Prince Xiangwen on the battlefield eight or nine hundred years ago, and stabbed several bloody holes in Prince Changyang's body, causing Prince Changyang to wail and curse, "You pariah, pariah! I am the descendant of Emperor Shenwu, you can't kill me!!! If I die, the entire Bozhou will be buried with me! Buried with me!"

"No matter where you go, the Emperor Shenwu will catch you and confiscate your property and exterminate your clan!!!"

King Changyang howled and shouted.

But Zheng Jun's face was extremely cold.

"I heard that you like skinning."

Zheng Jun brandished the long spear, raised it, blood running wild, and murderous intent came over like a tsunami, without any skill, just wielding the long spear in a primitive way: "In this case, I will peel off your skin and see if the Emperor Shenwu can save you now!"

"Ahhh!"

Amidst the spreading murderous intent, what resounded through the sky were heart-wrenching screams.

In fact, it barely sounded like a human voice.

The entire parade ground, with Zheng Jun and King Changyang as the center, seemed to form a radius of ten meters.

Anyone who stepped into this ten-meter range would become a corpse on the ground.

The blood pooled together and flowed.

The dozen or so soldiers left around didn't dare to step in at all.

I could only watch the scene in front of me.

Pieces of flesh and skin flew everywhere, and blood gushed out along with the murderous intent.

Many soldiers who couldn't bear it psychologically even turned pale.

Peel.

This is peeling.

This thief actually skinned a prince, the fifth-generation grandson of Emperor Shenwu!
An armored soldier was shaking all over, and was filled with anger: "This thief is too arrogant, do you think that there is no one in my palace?!"

They are all soldiers of the royal palace, and they prosper together and suffer together.

They also helped when the prince massacred the people.

And when the prince gave rewards, they also took the rewards from the prince.

Now that I see the prince meet such an end, I am filled with grief and indignation!
What about the people in the palace?
General Xun, the Central Guard Army, led his troops to the border and stopped the refugees, including women and children.

General Zhang of the Left Guard is on the lookout for the Crown Prince's murderer.

Only General Tian of the Right Guard was left stationing his troops outside the palace!
"what!!!"

"This king is going to kill you!!!"

"This king will kill your entire family!!!"

"Please, spare me... I have ten thousand taels of gold, and I will give it all to you!!!"

"I will also give you my palace. Please don't kill me. I will recommend you to the court to be the county governor!"

"The Emperor Shenwu will not let you go, the imperial court will not let you go!"

"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor!"

"..."

King Changyang kept cursing and begging for mercy, but Zheng Jun turned a deaf ear to him. He was like an artist sculpting a work of art, working hard on his work with all his heart.

His skinning technique was poor, often cutting into the flesh, and he would often over-skin and accidentally tear the skin.

Compared with the skinning expert, Prince Changyang, his technique is far inferior.

But Zheng Jun has a heart for learning.

After about half a cup of tea, a roar of anger came from the sky: "Thief, let go of the prince!"

Zheng Jun looked up after hearing this.

However, outside the palace, hundreds of armored soldiers had already rushed up and were ready for battle. The leader was tall and burly, wearing armor, holding a long spear, and had a long beard.

The second level of outer power cultivation.

"The formation has been formed."

Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun stopped skinning the people and picked up the long spear, stabbing it into King Changyang's stomach.

"what!"

King Changyang screamed, but there was still a glimmer of hope.

Zheng Jun held up his long spear and the King of Changyang, facing the army outside, without any hesitation, and shouted: "Come, if you have the courage, come and attack!"

Seeing this scene, the Right Guard General named Tian, who was at the Second Level of the Outer Gang, was stunned. His heart sank and his hands and feet turned cold.

Your Majesty,

It turned out to be so miserable!
General Tian was in a trance, his lips trembling, and he realized that he was finished.

Even if the general was rescued, he would still be accused of failing to protect the emperor.

The best outcome would probably be exile to Yunzhou.

But if he doesn't save him, his whole family might be in trouble.

For a moment, although the military formation had been formed, General Tian did not dare to take any action and could only watch.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but laugh at the Prince of Changyang and said, "It seems that the generals in your palace are not very loyal and responsible. Seeing you in such a miserable state, they didn't come to save you... This shows how unpopular you, the prince, are on a daily basis!"

At this moment, half of King Changyang's body had been skinned and covered in blood.

I can't even open my eyes.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, he managed to open his eyes a little, and vaguely saw the Right Guard General Tian Shuo. He immediately perked up, not caring about the tearing pain on his body, and shouted: "Tian Shuo, how dare you not save me?! I will kill your whole family! Right Guard, Right Guard! All of you must be beheaded!"

After hearing Prince Changyang's voice, General Tian's face became even uglier.

There was also an uproar among the Right Guard Army.

I risked my life to save you, and you are like this?!
"Tian Shuo!"

"Tian Shuo!!!"

"..."

Prince Changyang's heart-wrenching voice could be heard throughout the entire training ground, and Tian Shuo's face looked extremely ugly. After a few breaths, he still took action.

I saw the army gathering, the true energy of nearly a thousand people condensed together, the qi and blood, and the true energy merged together, and the long spear in Tian Shuo's hand suddenly burst out with an extremely powerful true energy!

"kill!"

A loud roar like a spring thunder was heard, and it was followed by a terrifying gust of wind that was several feet high!
The terrifying gale turned into substance and rushed towards Zheng Jun like a long spear. It was so turbulent that the surrounding air seemed to have no time to dodge and was pierced by the spear.

In just a moment, he came over from a hundred feet away.

This offensive was enough to destroy everything, and it came down with the force of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart!
Zheng Jun looked at this terrifying attack and just smiled. He moved his spear forward, letting the Changyang King, who was like a kebab on the spear, block in front of him. He laughed and said, "Tian Shuo, you and I are actually in the same boat. So you also want to kill this violent prince!"

Seeing this, the Prince of Changyang, who was placed in front of Zheng Jun, could not help but get anxious. Regardless of the severe pain all over his body, he continued to roar miserably: "Tian Shuo!!! Do you want to kill me?! I remember you, your family is in Luling County in Jinzhou. If I die today, the court will definitely kill your whole family!"

Hearing what King Changyang said, Tian Shuo's expression became even uglier. He could only change direction and rush towards the gilded palace not far away.

"Boom——!!!"

In an instant, the palace shook violently and all the houses collapsed.

Many servants who had assisted the tyrant in committing atrocities did not have time to escape and could only scream and die under the eaves.

Zheng Jun looked at the palace in the distance and couldn't help but sigh: "A thousand people in the second level of Outer Gang can burst out an offensive force slightly stronger than that of the third level of Outer Gang. This army formation is really powerful. It seems that what is said in the military books is true that if a Tongqiao warrior is the commander and tens of thousands of troops are sent, even a Yuandan Martial Saint can do nothing."

After sighing, Zheng Jun said to Prince Changyang with a smile: "Li You, it seems that Tian Shuo is really upset with you. Since he can't kill you, he takes it out on your palace."

"Forgive me, I will forgive you."

But at this moment, the King of Changyang seemed to have his brain filled with blood, and he immediately became clear-headed. With a hoarse voice, he said to Zheng Jun: "Your skills are better than those rubbish in the palace. If you can get through the orifice, you will definitely be a general in the court! I am willing to recommend you to the court as a vanguard general. The 'Punishment Spear' is useless in my hands. If you switch sides, this 'Punishment Spear' will be my gift to you!"

"The Emperor Shenwu is about to die, and the Crown Prince is a coward, not even worthy of being a ruler! My brothers are from the same branch, the King of Xiang is in the south, and the King of Lingquan is in the north. If you are willing to come here, I will give you the command of the left, right, and center guards of the Changyang Palace! The county soldiers of Changyang County will also be captured easily! As for the Changyang County Magistrate Yang Li, he is a descendant of the Yang family in Kyoto, and he will not be able to stay in this small place of Changyang County for long. When the world is in turmoil, if I ascend to the throne, I will definitely appoint you as the Supreme Pillar of the State, the Grand Commandant, and grant you the title of Duke!"

King Changyang was extremely clear-headed at this moment. He felt as if he had reached the peak of his IQ.

After hearing what King Changyang said, Zheng Jun almost laughed out loud.

"You think too much."

Zheng Jun shook his head.

With just these few people, he came here all by himself, and he still wants to be the emperor? He is just daydreaming.

Nearly a thousand soldiers did not dare to move at all because of King Changyang's words.

I can only stand there.

When Zheng Jun saw that the Right Guard Army did not dare to attack, he swaggered on the parade ground and continued his skinning work.

While peeling the skin, he said, "I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Forget it, I've told you everything. The bad news is that I was the one who killed your prince. The good news is that your prince died more easily than you did. He was only eaten by a blood-refining monster I caught."

Zheng Jun's skinning movements became faster.

The right guard came from the Prince's Mansion.

The county town is a hundred miles away, and someone should have gone to report by now.

Therefore, I can only stay here for the time of an incense stick at most.

You have to peel it quickly and leave.

Just like that, Zheng Jun started to take action quickly and efficiently.

Nearly a thousand palace guards, led by General Tian Shuo, watched Zheng Jun peel off the skin of Prince Changyang.

"How dare he, how dare he!"

Tian Shuo's eyes were red as he looked at King Changyang, whose skin had been peeled off and only a piece of red flesh remained. His eyes turned red.

He only has one thought now.

That is to hope that this villain will get skinned and leave quickly, and let go of King Changyang.

If it's just skinning, cutting off arms, or piercing.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you are willing to spend some money, the wound can be cured, and even without leaving any scars.

If dead, truly dead.

Even a powerful person like the emperor would have his soul scattered after his death, and there is no possibility of survival.

Tian Shuo's eyes were red as he watched the prince being skinned alive, but he could do nothing.

"Once the prince is safe, I want him dead!!!"

Tian Shuo's eyes were red, and he was thinking in his heart.

And Zheng Jun had obtained the intact human skin of Prince Changyang.

Looking at the human skin of Prince Changyang, Zheng Jun casually picked it up and dropped it onto the stone lion in the parade ground. Then he smiled faintly, picked up the "Punishment Spear", turned into a beam of light, easily jumped over the royal wall, and flew away.

Seeing this scene, Tian Shuo was shocked.

"Why did he take the prince away?!"

Seeing this, Tian Shuo didn't care about anything else and also flew into the air. The black true energy in his body surged out and rushed towards the direction where Zheng Jun fled. At the same time, he shouted in a low voice: "That man is an outer energy warrior. He can only fly over the ground and can't fly far! The cavalry will chase him. We must ensure the safety of the prince!"

After saying that, he turned into a black meteor.

Chasing after Zheng Jun.

Only armored soldiers were left all over the ground.

Seeing this scene in front of them, their faces turned pale, and then several soldiers who looked like deputy generals came out to take command, open the city defense hub of the Prince's Mansion, and order the cavalry to pursue.

……

Tian Shuo chased all the way with an extremely gloomy expression.

He knew very well that even if he caught up with him, he would still be no match for that vicious and treacherous man.

Regardless of other things, let’s just talk about the weapon in the thief’s hand.

Two magical weapons.

The knife had never been unsheathed, but the pressure it exuded showed that it was undoubtedly a magical weapon.

And his own prince gave the other party a "punishment spear" that was once used by King Xiangwen.

The opponent's situation is naturally more difficult to deal with.

But it is our duty to pursue it.

The worst possible outcome is death.

Anyway, I am now a moving dead person.

If the prince is ill, his family will also be in disaster.

If I die in battle here, perhaps the court will pity me and spare my family.

Just like the three princes of Xuanzhou and Suzhou.

Zhang Bengong captured the county city and cooked and killed the prince of the county. Among them, Prince Sai'an's left guard general fought to the death and died on the battlefield. The court did not hold him accountable for failing to protect the emperor.

The General of the Central Guard fled in a panic and his entire family was exiled; the General of the Right Guard surrendered to the enemy and his entire family was executed.

So, if you want to preserve the clan.

The only way out is to fight to the death.

It was a pity that after thirty-two years of practice, he finally achieved the second level of outer Gang and was the most outstanding person in the county in the past hundred years. However, in the end, he had to die here for such a useless prince.

Tian Shuo sighed, became extremely alert, and continued to chase.

After chasing for about an incense stick of time, they came to a hill in the distance. Tian Shuo looked closely and saw a group of wild dogs fighting for food.

Tian Shuo was startled and looked carefully, only to see a pile of minced meat and scattered skeletons on the ground.

There were some pieces of cloth around the minced meat. When Tian Shuo looked at them carefully, his heart sank instantly.

It was the prince's golden silk dress.

Upon seeing this, Tian Shuo couldn't help but get extremely angry, and the black energy burst out instantly!

The true energy spread like an overwhelming tidal wave, and in an instant, all the wild dogs fighting for food in the surrounding area were wiped out!

Under the heavy pressure, the wild dog was reduced to minced meat.

Mixed with the original minced meat on the ground, it was impossible to tell which was the prince and which was the wild dog.

Tian Shuo quickly landed and adjusted his true energy which was a little weak due to the long journey. At the same time, his face was full of sorrow. In the pile of minced meat, he found half of a face and an eyeball, and tears streamed down his face.

He was not crying for King Changyang.

Cry for yourself.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Why, why would someone dare to assassinate the Prince!

Possessing magical instruments and weapons, and mastering supernatural martial arts.

Such a person must be from a big family or a powerful force.

People with great power have common interests with the Great Zhou court. Even if they have rebellious intentions, they should not kill a prince who does not care about the overall situation? !
why?
Is it because that prince killed a lot of useless low-class people?

Tian Shuo's face was filled with sorrow and he couldn't help but howl.

But at this moment, a sound of breaking through the air was suddenly heard.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang and a strong wind blew!

The sound of breaking through the air came very quickly. Tian Shuo was horrified and turned around quickly, only to find a stream of light flying from a distance and suddenly it was in front of him.

It turns out that the flow of light is even faster than sound.

"Is it an arrow? That thief, how can he use an arrow?"

Looking at this object breaking through the air, Tian Shuo couldn't help but think in his heart.

However, this thought was fleeting, and under the surge of true energy, his body was rapidly expanding, trying to catch this "arrow".

It was simple. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

Unable to dodge, you can only take it head-on.

But soon, Tian Shuo discovered that what was shot was not an arrow, but... a punishment spear.

The punishment spear that King Xiangwen used to wield on the battlefield was actually thrown out by the villain using the archery method!
"boom!"

With a roar, a blood-red light came whistling, like the King of Hell crawling out of hell, sweeping over with the sound of air breaking through the air!

At this moment, Tian Shuo discovered that the protective energy he had condensed was extremely fragile in front of the Punishment Spear, as fragile as paper.

The Punishment Spear smashed into his chest and abdomen with overwhelming force, destroying all the true energy he had mobilized in an instant.

"puff!"

Blood gushed out, and Tian Shuo and his men were shot away like meteors.

It was shot back dozens of feet until it was nailed to the hill, creating a large gully and hole!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, rustling like rain.

Tian Shuo's breath was weak, and he only felt a burning pain in his chest. His entire chest and abdomen had been pierced by the punishment spear, and his whole body was nailed in the ravine in a pierced state.

He lowered his head and tried his best to raise his head and look in the direction where the spear was shot.

After looking for a long time, I could only vaguely see a figure.

Seeing this scene, Tian Shuo couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

I thought that even if this person came from a big sect, he, a county prodigy, might be able to give him a fight.

But I never thought that I wouldn't even see him.

People are already seriously injured.

There is still some distance before death.

But I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't.

He could only wait here until reinforcements arrived and someone came to rescue him.

but,
Even if someone rescues him, he will still die.

Prince Changyang died, and he would die too.

"If I had known this, I would have competed for the task of investigating the death of the prince and asked Lao Zhang to come here."

Tian Shuo thought miserably in his heart, and the next second, he urged his remaining true energy to gather at his heart. With a "thump", the heart exploded.

And Tian Shuo's eyes also dimmed.

It was obviously suicide.

Not far away were the remains of King Changyang who had been fed to dogs.

"..."

[Magic weapon is arrow, spear shoots Tian Shuo, no matter how things change, the essence remains the same! 'Stone Crushing Tide Arrow' repayment progress +2945, current repayment progress: 3649/8000. ]

[Kill the prince with a sword, and force the army to retreat! The repayment progress of 'Yiri Liuguang' is +53, and the current repayment progress is: 1363/3000. ]

Looking at the two small characters written in ink and gilded gold that appeared in front of him, Zheng Jun couldn't help but let out a breath, looked in a direction not far away, and hesitated for a moment.

This 'Punishment Spear' is quite useful.

It actually allowed him to throw it out in the form of a 'gravel frenzy arrow'.

It really proves the saying that no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same.

Although doing so greatly weakened the power of the 'Stone Crushing Tide Arrow', because the 'Punishment Spear' was a magical weapon, the effect of using it was actually even more powerful than the orthodox 'Stone Crushing Tide Arrow'.

It's also a bit weird.

And the repayment progress given is quite a lot.

The only difference is that if it cannot kill the enemy, this magical weapon is equivalent to giving it to the opponent for free.

However, what Zheng Jun is hesitating about now is whether he should take the "Punishment Spear" away.

After all, this was the sacred weapon of the Great Zhou royal family. Zheng Jun didn't know if there were any tracking restrictions on it, and whether he could be found through this "Punishment Spear".

But if we just leave it here and don't do anything about it, it would be too extravagant and wasteful.

Zheng Jun hesitated, not knowing whether he should take it or not.

After pondering for about two or three cups of tea, Zheng Jun gritted his teeth and whispered in his heart: "Fuck it, just take it and try it! I'm not afraid of anything."

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Jun immediately turned into a meteor and came to the scene where Tian Shuo was nailed to death. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the punishment spear. Then, without any hesitation, he continued to escape to the west, towards Yanting County.

He didn't plan to go back to Pingzhang County directly.

Since I don't know if this Punishment Spear has any tracking restrictions or something like that, I'll just try to move it around. If it really has such a thing, I should be able to detect it and then throw it away.

It's worth taking a risk to have a magical weapon that is quite handy.

After all, I am now on the wanted list.

In life, if you don't have the courage to burn your boats.

Then why do you have a rebellious heart and keep soldiers?
It's just right. If there really is a tracking ban, I can use this spear to stroll into Zhang Bengong's sphere of influence and drop the spear into Zhang Bengong's army.

It can also divert some attention.

Anyway, Zhang Bengong has already killed three princes. If there are too many lice, they won’t bite people, so one more won’t make a difference.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Jun's speed became even faster.

"..."

Half an hour later.

The place where Tian Shuo, Prince of Changyang and General of the Right Guard of Prince of Changyang's Palace, died.

A vast and powerful purple true energy suddenly descended from the sky.

As the figure descended from the sky, purple air came from the east and the surrounding air seemed to condense. After landing, the strong wind made the surrounding weeds rustle.

This person was wearing a loose crimson official robe that fluttered in the wind.

It was the Tongqiao County Magistrate of Changyang County, Yang Li!
Yang Li's face was as gloomy as water. Under his feet was a hill of weeds covered with blood and flesh. The setting sun in the sky was as red as blood, making the pieces of flesh even more obvious.

He looked at the corpse of Tian Shuo lying nearby. With just one glance, he could see that the chest was pierced directly by the Changyang County Prince's magic weapon, the 'Punishment Spear'.

But the cause of his death was suicide.

"Did he commit suicide because he saw Li You die and was worried that his people would be punished, so he pretended to be killed by the enemy?"

Yang Li snorted coldly, and the purple energy surged, instantly smashing Tian Shuo's corpse to pieces: "Foolish! The self-destructing true energy completely concealed the original true energy, making it impossible for me to verify this person's usual methods!"

Yang Li is in a bad mood now.

His family background is the Yang family in the capital.

The Yang family of Kyoto is one of the most powerful and aristocratic families.

The Yang family played a big role in helping Emperor Shenwu to establish his rule over the world.

Countless talented people of the Yang family sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Over the past thousand years, the family has produced six dukes, eleven prime ministers, and eight supreme pillars of the state.

Three women from the clan successively entered the harem of Emperor Shenwu.

Among them, the late Empress Shenwu Gaowen gave birth to two sons, the King of Wei and the King of Han, for Emperor Shenwu.

It is a truly top-notch family.

Compared with the Cai family and the Yang family, they pale in comparison.

There are two Yuandan ancestors in the clan and fourteen Tongqiao warriors.

It is a well-known force in the world.

He, Yang Li, is the youngest among the Tongqiao.

Coming to Changyang County to be the county magistrate is just for the purpose of gilding one's reputation.

Three months later, his term of office ended and he was transferred to the Northern Army to serve as the Captain of the Guard.

After serving as the Commandant of the Guard for three to five years, he would be able to take advantage of the favorable conditions and enter the court to be appointed as the General of the Guard to protect the capital.

By then, when Emperor Shenwu passed away, the Yang family would be able to make some moves to see if they could depose the crown prince and invite the King of Wei or the King of Han, these two princes who had close ties with the Yang family, to come to the capital and rule the world.

But now, it's all over!
Prince Changyang died during his term of office. Although he would not be punished, his official career would definitely be blocked and his plan went down the drain!
Not to mention, the "Punishment Spear" in the Prince of Changyang's Mansion was taken away by the murderer.

That is the most precious treasure of the Xiang Wang family.

When King Xiangwen died, he passed his title to his eldest son, his weapon to his second son, and his martial arts to his third son.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this weapon is the most precious.

Although his title is "king", his rank is only that of a prince.

The skills are even more of a magic skill that is neither human nor ghost. Now that the whole world belongs to the king, it is not difficult for the royal family members to practice the top-grade internal skills.

But this 'Punishment Spear' is different. It was made by a weapon refining master with the aid of more than one million taels of materials. Among the magical weapons, it is also one of the best!
This loss cast a shadow over his official career!
"He rushed into the palace so swiftly and recklessly, without any regard for me and the twenty-odd outer guards and five thousand soldiers of Changyang County. If he was an outer guard warrior, how could he be so bold?!"

"He actually found a flaw. While I was in seclusion, he rushed in and killed the Prince of Changyang in public!"

"I'm afraid this person is not just a Wai Gang warrior. He is most likely an old thief at the Tongqiao realm, pretending to be a Wai Gang warrior!"

"Who on earth wants to go against my Yang family?!"

Yang Li's face was gloomy, and the purple true energy around him couldn't help but burst out, destroying most of the surrounding land in an instant. Even the remains of the Prince of Changyang were no exception. They were blown everywhere by the strong wind caused by the true energy, and in the blink of an eye, they were all over the ground.

There is definitely someone who is deliberately going against their Yang family.

Who is it?
Is it the Tongyuan Gate behind the Queen?
They were keenly aware of our actions, so they deliberately came to kill a prince and destroy our plan?
Or is it the Zhao family, the wealthy family in Yunzhou behind Concubine Zhao?

The Prince of Yan is doing very well in Yunzhou. It is said that the Yunzhou General Manager, Duke Jia, Shu Weiyuan, speaks highly of the Prince of Yan, saying that the Prince of Yan is a genius in commanding troops. Almost half of the 300,000 brave men in Yunzhou are under the control of the Prince of Yan!

Or is he the King of Qi in Qingzhou?
The King of Qi and Duke of Guo Wei Bohu are close friends. Wei Bohu is from Qitian Mansion in Qingzhou, and Qitian Mansion also has the possibility of taking action!
For a moment, Yang Li was confused and couldn't figure out whether it was the Prince's faction, the Prince of Yan's faction, or the Prince of Qi's faction that was behind this!

If Emperor Shenwu was not in the south now, the King of Chu who was in charge of the south would not dare to make any small moves. I am afraid that there would be another candidate under suspicion!
Yang Li's face became extremely gloomy for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

But at this moment, other outer-gang warriors from Changyang County finally arrived.

At one moment, the Chief Secretary of Changyang County, the General of the Left Guard of the Prince of Changyang's Mansion, and the two teams of Changyang County soldiers all arrived.

The left guard general of the Prince of Changyang's mansion was a little distracted when he saw the scene in front of him. He looked extremely anxious and couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, Lord Yang, where is my prince?"

"They're all over the floor, find them yourself!"

Yang Li took a deep breath, snorted coldly, and then controlled the purple energy to fly into the air. He searched the surroundings aimlessly, and at the same time, he shouted, "Looking for the figure wearing a straw raincoat, a bamboo hat, holding a knife and a spear! Notify the surrounding counties and ask them to work together to look for him!"

After that, Yang Li thought of something and continued, "Focus on checking the Luling County in the south of Jinzhou and the Wuguang County in the north of Yunzhou!"

If you go south to Jinzhou, you can take the Jinzhou Pass and go to Qingzhou and the capital to find Qitian Mansion and Tongyuan Gate.

Going north to Yunzhou, you can join up with the brave men of Yunzhou led by King Yan.

The biggest suspect.

Yang Li himself also rushed towards Wuguang County.

The man who came was holding a knife, and his methods were quick, decisive and cruel.

He looks like a fierce general in the army.

Prioritize investigating the King of Yan in Yunzhou!
The death of Prince Changyang is a small matter. Emperor Shenwu has many descendants, and several of them have died in the past few years. When the time comes, the Yang family will accept the punishment and use family means to go to Yanting County to pacify Zhang Bengong and put an end to this incident!

The key point is to see which force is against their Yang family.

Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for the enemy to be in the dark and I to be in the light!
"We also need to quickly tell our family members that we can't continue with the original plan. We need to make plans early!"

……

Guangyi County, Guangping County.

The young porter was carrying two boxes of luggage, walking on the official road in tattered clothes, covering his entire head with a felt hat, and heading north.

Sometimes, cavalrymen wearing helmets and leather armor would pass by the roadside, holding a portrait and hunting down the murderer.

However, the portrait was a bit sparse and ordinary. Almost everyone who had seen Zheng Jun was killed by Zheng Jun, and the few who were left alive were either far away or trembling with fear, and their expressions were unclear and a bit dazed.

So although the portraits are somewhat similar, they are only somewhat similar.

With such a handsome appearance, not to mention others, many young men from wealthy families in the county are like this.

The young porter walked all the way to a teahouse, put down his luggage, ordered some tea, and wanted to rest here.

However, as soon as the young porter sat down, he heard a clear and loud sound of a wake-up stick in his ears.

Looking up slightly, I saw a high platform in the middle of the teahouse. An old man in thin clothes was moistening his throat, as if he was about to start telling a story.

The young porter looked around and realized that there were quite a few people in the teahouse.

No wonder the teahouse owner hired a storyteller.

The young porter thought to himself.

The thinly dressed storyteller cleared his throat and started to shout, "Last time, we talked about how the hero in the straw raincoat could not bear to see the suffering of the people and the Prince of Changyang robbing women in the street, so he killed the Prince of Changyang in public in the famous Lujiang Tower in Changyang County. This attracted the heart of Du Fang, the most beautiful girl in Changyang County, and she decided to follow him!"

"Yes, today we should tell the story of the hero in the straw raincoat who killed the prince in public!"

There were people in the audience booing.

"Cough cough."

After hearing that person's laughter, the storyteller was obviously embarrassed for a moment, and then he said, "I'll tell you in a few days, I'll tell you in a few days! Today I'll tell you the history of how the Prince of Changyang rose to power."

"The Prince of Changyang, his ancestor was the famous general of our Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Xiangwen! When our Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, Prince Xiangwen entered Pengzhou alone with only a spear. When he came out, he led a team of 30,000 people. With a 'punishing spear', he was invincible in Pengzhou! In the Battle of Pengsu Bridge, Prince Xiangwen, holding a long spear and leading 500 iron guards, beat the tens of thousands of people in Qianyu so hard that they could not move forward..."

The storyteller kept talking about how heroic "King Wen of Xiang" was in the past, but the spectators around him were obviously dissatisfied.

Who wants to listen to this old story?

Tired of listening to the kings, princes, generals and ministers from hundreds of years ago? It’s more comfortable to listen to the straw raincoat hero who has become famous in recent days!

Heroes, beauties, dandy boys, all working to eliminate harm for the people!

This is interesting!

The storyteller was also a little embarrassed.

After all, the rest of the story hasn’t been written yet, so I naturally can’t tell it.

During these words, the young porter couldn't help but chuckle.

No one could have imagined that the famous "punishing spear" mentioned by the storyteller was actually the shoulder pole in the porter's hand.

"It seems that this Punishment Spear doesn't have any tracking restrictions. This is good. It can be considered a good bet."

The young porter, or Zheng Jun, breathed a sigh of relief and felt good, but after listening to the storyteller's words, he felt a little amused.

"Killing the prince in public, and having the most beautiful woman fall in love with him. The storyline is manipulated without permission, right? If it weren't for the inconvenience of showing up now, they would have asked for some copyright fees or something."

Zheng Jun was thinking wildly for a while, and after staying in Guangyi County for a long time, Zheng Jun did not notice any strong searches.

Instead, the other party targeted Luling County and Wuguang County, which made Zheng Jun a little confused.

But if that's the case, that's even better.

This means that I don’t have to take such a detour and can go directly back to Heishan County.

Zheng Jun was in a very good mood and breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to the storyteller finish telling the story of King Wen of Xiang, he generously and happily rewarded him with twenty copper coins, then stood up and continued to carry his load, walking towards Heishan County in the north.

Don't ask why I gave you twenty copper coins.

Just ask, Mr. Zheng is generous!

A porter could be given twenty copper coins.

You are already very rich!
