Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1156

This sudden shout caught Li Cheng and the others completely off guard. In the instant it rang out, hundreds of crossbow bolts were woven into a rain of arrows and shot directly at them!

"No, we've been ambushed."

"Pfft."

Before they could finish speaking, sharp arrows pierced their chests.

"Controlling Qi!"

"Break through, break out of the encirclement."

"Protect the adjutant and break through."

Li Cheng urged himself on while shouting in a trembling voice.

Holding his sword, he continuously deflected the barrage of crossbow bolts.

Even when he felt he couldn't hold them off, he pulled his 'good brother' to his side.

He let it be shot into a hedgehog, using it as a shield for himself!

"Quick, protect me!"

Cornered in a corner, Li Cheng screamed hysterically.

However, when he put down the 'meat shield' that had been riddled with thorns, he found dozens of wounded and poisoned guards who had escaped with him lying haphazardly on the ground.

At the scene, only he and his cat were left, all alone!

The scary thing is...

The inhaled toxic gas has already begun to take effect.

The wound caused him excruciating pain.

More importantly, in that instant, he felt several streams of energy lock onto him.

At this moment, the master behind these energies could kill him with a single blow.

What's more, there are several of them!

Li Cheng panicked!

Completely panicked!

He doesn't want to die.

He wanted to live and enjoy wealth and luxury.

'Clap. '

Just then, several dark figures appeared strangely in front of them.

These people all wore fang masks, and the blades in their hands were stained with blood!

Clearly, the sentries and lookouts that Li Cheng had previously arranged to guard their retreat at the back gate had been killed by them.

"You, who are you?"

"I am a lieutenant general in the Jiangnan Navy, a direct subordinate of Grand Commander Zhou Yu, and the eldest son of the Li family of Jiangnan."

"If anything happens to me, you, all of you, will not live either."

"More than 100,000 troops, the Jiangnan navy is about to storm into the city."

"You should think this through."

As Li Cheng shouted these words, the masked man at the head of the group unfolded a piece of paper, on which he listed the information that his master wanted to obtain from the other party.

"Finished?"

"It's my turn now."

"Fine, I'll just give you ten cuts first, so you won't misbehave."

'Swish, swish!'

'Sizzle.'

"Ow."

As soon as the leading man finished speaking, the five shadowy figures accompanying him each took a knife, no more, no less.

He watched helplessly as his own strip of meat floated past his eyes.

Li Cheng, his own blood splattering on his face, screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

"Next, we'll begin with Lieutenant General Li..."

"Hesitation for even a moment means ten cuts."

"Don't worry, we brothers are swordsmen personally recruited by Lord Xu."

"I guarantee you won't die within two hundred cuts."

Upon hearing these words, Li Cheng, heartbroken, felt his head buzzing.

"Who?"

"Xu, Lord Xu?"

"Which Lord Xu?"

"Xu, Xu Shan, Xu the Butcher?"

"Isn't he in Shu County? He..."

'Sizzle.'

"what."

After Li Cheng finished asking his questions, the five of them all attacked at the same time.

One person, two knives—simple and straightforward!

In an instant, Li Cheng, now covered in blood, no longer wanted to live.

I just want to die a quick and painless death!

After several dozen breaths, the leading man, having obtained the answer he wanted, raised his knife and slashed at the other man's head.

Even in death, Li Cheng's eyes remained open, filled with despair!

"Lord Tianxue, the list of people provided by Li Cheng to provide cover for his vanguard includes quite a few nobles from the capital."

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Tianxue, the leader, turned and glanced at him.

With just one glance, the other person immediately lowered their head and dared not utter a word.

"Imperial relatives, haven't you ever killed anyone while serving under Lord Xu?"

"My subordinate realizes his mistake!"

"Master Xu, there is an order!"

"Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"

“I have another list, which contains remnants of the Donglin Party.”

"As the master wishes..."

"Now that the sword has been drawn, let's eliminate any future trouble!"

"understand!"

After saying that, several dark figures disappeared into the night along with Tian Xue.

Meanwhile, as the attacks took place at the ferry crossing and the Sanhe Escort Agency, one after the other...

A large force from the North City Camp marched into Suzaku Avenue.

Originally, the guards stationed here were so nervous after hearing the frequent ear-piercing explosions coming from the dock and the Sanhe Escort Agency that they set up roadblocks at the entrance.

Now, seeing this group of people arrive with murderous intent, everyone is extremely nervous.

Just as the leading general was ordering his men to prepare for battle and was about to send a message to the enemy...

The slogan that had once sent chills down their spines echoed in their ears from afar.

"The Imperial Guards are investigating the case, everyone else please stay out of the way!"

"Move the roadblocks immediately!"

"otherwise……"

"Kill without mercy!"

A cavalryman, carrying a flying fish flag, was the first to leave the ranks and shouted.

The leading general and his guards were stunned by these words.

Since Xu Shan left the capital, no one from the Northern Garrison Command has ever again led such a large force to Zhuque Avenue.

Besides, weren't all the people from the Garrison Command sent to the front lines to supervise the battle?

Who is leading this group?

How dare you be so arrogant?

For safety's sake, the leading general swallowed hard and then shouted.

"May I ask, which official from the Garrison Command is leading the team?"

"We are well..."

Before the other party could finish his humble words, the approaching bannermen shouted hysterically, "Earl of the Great Ming Dynasty, Vice Commissioner of the Northern Garrison, Xu Shan, Lord Xu!"

'boom.'

Upon hearing this, all the guards, including the leading general, had their heads buzzing.

Xu, Xu Mountain?

Xu Bantian?

That man, he's back?

While their minds were blanking out as they pondered this question, the cavalry, flags in hand, charged forward.

In the light of the torches, the crowd could vaguely see that in the very center of the flying fish flag inlaid with a golden dragon, there was an additional character 'Xu'.

This was personally bestowed upon Xu Shan by His Majesty when he was ordered to quell the rebellion in Shu Commandery.

This flag...

Throughout the world, only when Xu Shan led the team could it be lifted up.

"came back!"

"It is indeed Lord Xu who has returned."

"What the hell are you all standing there for?"

"Kang Niang..."

"Quickly move the roadblocks away."

"hurry up!"

"You want to die, but I want to live a few more years."

Before the commanding general could finish issuing his urgent, yet panicked, order, his guards, who valued their lives even more than he did, swiftly moved the roadblocks aside.

'Pah-ta-ta.'

A few minutes later, that touch of crimson was the first thing they saw.

Immediately afterwards, the young face that had once caused the entire capital to change color was revealed in the firelight.
