Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 262 This move is only for publicity
"Tell me, why didn't you chop with a knife?" Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth anxiously looking at the scene of Tai Bu's assassination, "Tell me, if the knife is chopped off, his head will fall off, so he can still live?"

If it were Xu Zhiqiong's assassination, with such a good opportunity, he would definitely choose to behead Zhaoxing Emperor.

After killing the queen, fight the queen again. With the cultivation base of Taibu, it must be no problem to deal with the queen. If you knock down the queen and get away calmly, isn't this ending perfect?

Tai Bu didn't say a word, and any excuse now seems pale.

The reason why he chose to kill Emperor Zhaoxing with poison was not to show off his means, but for the sake of long-term consideration.

No matter what the reason is, killing the king will leave a bad name. This notoriety must be borne not only by Tai Bu, but also by the entire Onmyoji Division. When it is time for liquidation in the future, the entire Onmyoji Division will be eradicated by the royal family.

It would be much safer to use poison. Under good conditions, Emperor Zhaoxing would die unknowingly. Anyway, he was already seriously ill, so no one would suspect that he passed away so logically.

After making so many preparations, Tai Bu wanted to change to a safe result, but he didn't expect to be so cautious that he ended up in this situation.

Emperor Zhaoxing was not killed, and his identity was exposed!
When resentment and resentment overlapped, Li Shabai reminded: "I expect that the Emperor Hun will definitely not let the Yin Yang Division go, Tai Bu should make plans early."

Tai Bu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about Yin Yang Division, I've already dealt with it."

He made the best plan, but also the worst plan. He moved the Yin Yang Division away.

Tai Bu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Kangsheng, tell my apprentice Tao Huayuan that when the war here is over, let her go to Sijin City, the state capital of Huazhou, and someone there will tell her the location of the Onmyoji Division.
Let Tong Qingqiu go back to the capital with you, he is your righteous brother, you should be able to keep him safe, if he still cares about this master-student relationship, let him wait for me in the capital,
Also tell Han Chen that he is not my disciple, if he is willing to stay in the Onmyoji Division from now on, it is good, if he is not willing to stay, I will not force him. "

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell them these words in person?"

"Say it in person?" Tai Bu smiled wryly repeatedly, tears streaming down his face from the laugh, "I count on myself to be the best in the mundane world, but now I have lost so embarrassingly, what face do I have to meet them?"

Tai Bu took out a token from his arms, handed it to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "This is the Yin Yang Tai Bu Token, give it to Tao Huayuan, and she will be in charge of the Yin Yang Division in the future.
Kuangsheng, you have always refused to be my disciple, but my apprentice treats you with all my heart. I still say the same thing, whether it is a wife or a concubine, you treat her well and help her. "

Xu Zhiqiong took the divination order and received it in his arms: "These things are easy to talk about, but what should we do now?"

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Li Shabai's painting, and the "Yun Wo He Shu" ten years ago was vividly remembered.

Emperor Zhaoxing is alive, and he must make peace with Tunu again.

Is this battle really in vain?
Do you have to call Tu Nu again as uncle?
"Thousands of soldiers have left their lives here, there must be an explanation!"

Tai Bu sighed: "This is my fault, I am willing to do my best to help the army capture this city."

Xu Zhiqiong left Li Qi Teahouse and went to an inn, where a Tunu soldier was questioning him in an upper room on the second floor.

"Where do you Xuan dogs come from?" The soldier grabbed Meng Shizhen's collar and yelled, "Who let you enter the city?"

Meng Shizhen lowered his head and didn't speak, and he couldn't speak, because he didn't understand Tunu's language.

Wang Zhennan replied in Tunu language: "Master officer, we are here to do business in the city, we will only stay one night, and we will leave tomorrow."

"What business do you do?"

"Porcelain business!"

Tunu soldier shouted: "I think you are not businessmen, you are spies sent by Xuangou, come with me, go to see the feudal lord, hurry up, or I will kill you now!"

When he was talking, he kept grabbing Meng Shizhen's collar, and Meng Shizhen's fire burned to his throat.

Wang Zhennan took out a dozen Tunu silver coins and stuffed them into the hands of the soldiers: "Master officer, we will hand over the goods to the customer tomorrow morning, and we will leave after delivery."

The soldier looked at the silver coins in his hand, and said to Wang Zhennan, "I'll come back tomorrow, don't let me see you dogs again!"

After the soldiers left, Meng Shizhen straightened his collar and spat at the door.

Ma Guangli let go of the dagger in his arms, and said angrily, "I'm going to the toilet!"

Li Pu'an smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"

"Damn your mother, let me vent my anger!"

Xu Zhiqiong appeared from the shadows and stopped Ma Guangli: "Brother Ma, I'll go to the toilet later."

He blocked off the whole room with a magic circle, came to Wang Zhennan and said, "Brother Wang, thanks to your alertness."

Wang Zhennan laughed and said, "What kind of tact is this? It's nothing more than a little bit of anger. These bastards will fall into my hands in the future, but I have to let them know what it means to be uncomfortable."

"There is no need to change the day, tonight is the time."

Everyone cheered and said: "The army has arrived?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "The army is less than a hundred miles away from Lansuo City. With the help of Onmyoji, they can reach the city tonight."

Meng Shizhen said: "It shouldn't be, why is there no movement in this city?"

"What do we Lantern Lanterns do?" Xu Zhiqiong said triumphantly, "Qiao Qianhu took the lead and swept along the main roads first, and killed the sentries when he encountered them, and killed the scouts when he encountered them." , I also killed the messenger when I encountered it, so that no news leaked out!"

Li Pu'an quickly praised: "Qiao Qianhu is so talented!"

"What the hell kind of skill is this? Isn't it just killing a few dark men? It's a business I'm used to doing when I was in the capital!" Meng Shizhen laughed, "Old Qiao killed his mother happily. After tonight, we Kill the brothers too!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "The most important thing tonight is not to kill the enemy, are you familiar with the road?"

Ma Guangli said: "I've been familiar with it for a long time. Tonight, our brothers will guard the edge of the city wall. One of us will lead the way. We can't make mistakes."

The purpose of these lantern bearers sneaked into Lansuo City was to lead the army and attack the castle of the feudal lord.

The urban structure of Tunu Kingdom is quite different from that of Daxuan.

Lansuo City is the largest city in the south of Tunu Country, and it is also a typical Tunu city. The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city.

From the city wall to the feudal lord's castle, it is called the outer city. There are a large number of civilians living in the outer city. The roads are narrow and intricate. If the army rams into the outer city like headless chickens and fights with Tunu in the street, the loss will be great. .

The task of Wang Zhennan and others is to find out the road in the city, lead the army into four groups, and rush to the inner city, which is the castle of the feudal lord, as quickly as possible.

Wang Zhennan said: "We have walked around the inner city a few times. Tunuren's castle is not easy to attack. Zhiqiong, why don't we send a few more people to sneak into the castle first and kill the bird lord!"

Meng Shizhen nodded and said, "That's what I planned too!"

The feudal lord is the great lord of a place. The feudal lord of Lansuo City is the master of Lansuo City and also the controller of the Southern Royal Province. He has a high status in Tunu Kingdom and is a second-class noble. Converted to Daxuan's Among the titles, he can be regarded as a Marquis.

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands again and again: "We don't need to worry about the feudal lord's affairs, and we don't need to care about the castle's affairs. Someone will do it."

Tai Bu agreed to make a move. If he couldn't kill the emperor, it should be more than enough to kill a feudal lord.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the group of good brothers, and said with a smile: "You are all homesick. After this battle is over, it's time to return to the capital."

Wang Zhennan's smile froze: "Why go back to the capital?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'm coming back triumphantly, it's time for me to become a nobleman when I go back."

Meng Shizhen smiled and said: "I was scared to death, I thought this battle would not be fought! What's the rush to be promoted? Wait until you finish fighting the blue city, and then go north, I haven't fought enough yet!"

Li Pu'an said: "That's right, when we cut off a few more heads, we can bring them back to receive merit!"

Ma Guangli gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot to the capital of Maosha in one go, and wipe out this group of bastard Maosha!"

"Okay, okay!" Xu Zhiqiong laughed so embarrassingly!
If this battle was really fought in vain, how can I tell them?

After leaving the inn, Xu Zhiqiong went to a tavern and ordered a glass of wine.

Not to mention, Tunu's wine tastes pretty good.

Just after taking two sips, a Tunu Liuying came to solicit business.

This woman has blond hair and blue eyes and is quite handsome. There are many customers around with money bags, but she just fell in love with Xu Zhiqiong.

She stood beside Xu Zhiqiong and pulled Xu Zhiqiong's skirt. Xu Zhiqiong took out two silver coins and shook them in his hands.

Liuying's smile froze for a moment, but she still nodded shyly.

There is a guest room on the second floor of the tavern, Xu Zhiqiong took the girl upstairs and entered the room.

The girl immediately set up the magic circle, and shouted at Xu Zhiqiong: "Is this old lady only worth two silver coins?"

"This is the market for Tu Nu."

Tao Huayuan pretended to be a Tunu girl, not to mention that she really looked like her, no matter her figure or appearance, she couldn't tell the difference.

Xu Zhiqiong slapped Tao Huayuan's face: "I've paid all the money, shouldn't it be time for us to do business?"

Tao Huayuan pushed Xu Zhiqiong lightly, just once.

Xu Zhiqiong put his hand into the skirt, as if he wanted to take off his clothes.

Tao Huayuan's heart jumped violently.

really with him...

Is this place a bit...

There is no need to pick any place, as long as it is him.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't take off his clothes, he took out the Yin-Yang Taibu Token.

Tao Huayuan's heart beat even more violently.

"Master... What's wrong with him?"

Xu Zhiqiong told Tao Huayuan what happened.

Tao Huayuan sat by the bed like a clay sculpture, silent for a while.

"Don't blame Tai Bu," Xu Zhiqiong said comfortingly, "He played a good game of chess, and it's just this wrong move."

Tao Huayuan shook her head and said, "I don't blame Master, but I just don't understand. Since Li Shabai knows the truth, why didn't he remind Master?"

"Tai Bu wanted to kill the emperor, but he didn't inform Painter Li beforehand. Why did Painter Li help him?"

"Doesn't he want that stupid king to die?"

"What is his intention, I really don't know, but he saved your master, this is a kindness after all."

"Why did he come to Lansuo City? Since he didn't want to help us, why did he come here?"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't answer, and hugged Tao Huayuan, making her cry in his arms.

Tai Bu, Yin Yang Division.

The most sacred place in her heart collapsed.

……

In the middle of the night, a group of Tunu cavalry came to the city of Lansuo, led by General Ke Guchan.

Ke Guchan shouted towards the top of the city: "I am General Ke Guchan, open the city gate quickly."

The sergeant at the head of the city refused to open the door.

Although no real news was received, Mo Jialai, the lord of Lansuo, also heard some rumors.

What's more, the scouts and sentries sent never returned, it was impossible for Mo Jialai not to be suspicious.

He issued an order to the soldiers at the head of the city, not to let soldiers into the city, no matter what country the soldiers were from.

Seeing that the city gate was not open, Ke Guchan immediately ordered to attack the city.

A general hesitated: "General, this is Lansuo City, our Lansuo City!"

Ke Guchan looked at the general and said, "We've been poisoned, and Xuanren's wizard won't give you the antidote, so you want to die that much?"

The general had no choice but to lead his soldiers to hit the city gate.

The defenders at the top of the city looked dumbfounded: "Isn't this our army?"

Another sergeant said: "I recognize it, that's General Ke Guchan, what's wrong with him?"

The commander at the head of the city shouted: "Fight back, fight back quickly!"

On the top of the city, arrows and stones rained like rain, and the two armies fought fiercely.

At a corner of the city wall, Li Shabai picked up the inkstone and splashed ink on the city wall casually. The ink swam automatically and drew two city gates on the city wall.

In a short time, a cloud of smoke rose from the city wall, and the two painted city gates opened.

Li Shabai led He Fang up to the top of the wall, and waved his paintbrush.

Several stunned sergeants had ink stains on their faces.

The ink continued to spread, and several soldiers turned completely black, and died without a sound.

A cloud of dust rose in the distance, and the Daxuan army poured into Lansuo City like a tide.

He Fang said from the side: "You are willing to help Xuanjun, why don't you help Taibu kill the emperor?"

Li Shabai stared at the city silently, and said with a smile: "I am from Xuan, and this move is only for Da Xuan."
