Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 139 It's long gone... (24)

at night.

On the city wall, the guards took turns to stand guard and rest.

In the past two days, Li Gui's soldiers' morale has been boosted, but the shadow caused by Li Yuanba before is too deep, and it is impossible to completely eliminate it.

He could only think that the next time there was a war, Fu Chengyang must get rid of Li Yuanba first.

As for what Fu Chengyang said, there are still masters who are comparable to him in the Bei'an army... If the enemy also has a great master, then the emperor should ask the emperor to send another master from the palace.

Li Gui wanted to discuss this matter with Fu Chengyang, so he asked a soldier to go to the latter's house. After a while, the soldier came back and reported that Fu Chengyang was not there.

"Not here? Where did he go?"

"The villain doesn't know." The soldier said honestly.

"..."

Li Gui frowned, Fu Chengyang was specially sent by the emperor to guard the city, logically speaking he could not leave easily, this could be regarded as disobedience to the emperor's orders.

But now that no one is there, he has nothing to do, so he has to ask the soldiers to report the matter to the palace.

At this moment, Fu Chengyang seemed to be in the palace.

As a master master, he has stayed in the palace for decades, and even Emperor Qingxiang may not be able to match him in terms of familiarity with this place.

Even though the palace was under martial law and entry and exit were strictly prohibited, he still sneaked in easily, entered the harem, and came to Concubine Yu's room without anyone noticing.

Concubine Yu Gui is sitting in front of the dressing table, sighing to the mirror.

Seeing the figure suddenly appearing in the mirror, she was startled, turned her head quickly, and was relieved to see that it was Fu Chengyang.

"Brother Yang, your face..."

Concubine Yu looked at Fu Chengyang carefully, and found that he was very different from usual.

Fu Chengyang usually wears makeup to make himself look old.But today he is using his true colors, like a man in his early forties, quite majestic.

"Has something happened in the palace?" Fu Chengyang asked directly without exchanging pleasantries.

Concubine Yu Gui was slightly startled, then nodded: "...it should be that the emperor just came here before. He said that he and the empress were assassinated, and I need to explain, explain..."

The assassination really failed...

Fu Chengyang thought when he heard the words.It's just that he didn't expect that Emperor Qingxiang and the Queen went to the Zhao family together.

He asked in a deep voice, "What did he ask you to explain?"

"Tell Heyang about your affairs."

"He knows about us?"

"No...knows everything. He only knows that you and I have contact..."

"Then you told him about our relationship?"

Concubine Yu Gui quickly shook her head: "How could I? If I said so, how could you see me again, Brother Yang?"

She was right, if Emperor Qingxiang knew about her adultery with Fu Chengyang, he would have thrown her into prison long ago, even the Leng Palace would not have entered.

Fu Chengyang said: "In other words, that old man just suspects that we have been in close contact in private, not the relationship between you and me."

After all, he himself understood why.

He is a eunuch, how could Qing Xiang associate with that?
Concubine Yugui said anxiously: "Brother Yang, what's going on? Why did the emperor suddenly become suspicious... Will this... affect Chong'er?"

What she is most worried about now is not herself, but Zhou Chong.

I'm afraid that because she is not favored, Zhou Chong will no longer be loved by Qingxiang, which will be troublesome. You must know that Zhou Chong will be crowned prince and inherit the throne, and now if something changes...

"Hmph, it's the Zhao family and that old dog Song Qian who did something good!"

Fu Chengyang was also very resentful in his heart. At such a critical moment, the Zhao family actually plotted against him. Seeing Fu Chengyang's bad luck, they started to make trouble and wanted to beat him to death with a stick.

"The Zhao family... queen?"

"Who else is there? For Zhou Cheng, his Zhao family naturally regards us as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh."

"Then what should we do? Brother Yang, nothing can happen to Chong'er!" Concubine Yugui grabbed Fu Chengyang's arm anxiously, but was thrown away by the latter.

"What are you panicking! Now the old man is just dissatisfied with you and me, not sure what to do with Chong'er." Fu Chengyang gritted his teeth and said, "I think that old man must have suspected that after Chong'er succeeds to the throne, I will interfere in politics, so he wanted to put me to death. That's fine, I've fulfilled that old man's wish!"

Concubine Yu Gui was startled, and stared at him blankly: "Brother Yang, you, are you looking for death?!"

Fu Chengyang sneered: "That old thing Qingxiang isn't dead yet, how can I die? Don't worry, I'm just feigning death this time to get out and act in secret."

He has understood by now that Qing Xiang must let him die.

Whether it's because of Zhou Chong, or because of his relationship with Concubine Yu, or even the assassination, and the things that the Zhao family has prepared that are not good for him...these are mixed together, if Qing Xiang still doesn't want to kill him, it's just kicked in the head by a donkey up.

For this reason, there was the previous written order, asking him to take Su Yuan's head within three days.

If Fu Chengyang was only doing it for himself, he could not take it seriously, and even use the connections he has accumulated over the years to fight Qing Xiang.

But for Zhou Chong, he couldn't do that.Once he chooses to confront Qing Xiang head-on, he will become a traitor like Su Yuan.In Qingxiang's eyes, Zhou Chong, who had a certain relationship with him, would never be a candidate for the crown prince.

As for changing the family, changing the dynasty... It's not that Fu Chengyang didn't think about it, but he knew very well that he didn't have that much power to do it.

Even if he has worked hard for several years, once he announces his rebellion, he will lose a lot of support.And he doesn't have an absolutely loyal army like Su Yuan.A dynasty cannot be established by relying solely on personal force.

For this reason, Fu Chengyang had no choice but to follow Qing Xiang's order on the surface to arrest Su Yuan.Then he pretended to be defeated and died in the Bei'an army formation... As long as Qing Xiang thought he was dead, Zhou Chong would feel more at ease.

"Fake death...Brother Yang, then you... When will I see you again?" Concubine Yugui showed reluctance, she knew that if Fu Chengyang chose to do this, the two of them would never see each other in a short period of time.He has a cautious personality, and after feigning death, he will definitely not venture into the palace to meet her again.

"When Qingxiang dies and Chong'er succeeds, I will be able to come back grandiosely." Fu Chengyang said, "Before that, you have to be careful not to expose your real relationship with me."

"I know……"

Fu Chengyang stroked Concubine Yugui's face, and his voice became softer.

"Now everything is for Chong'er and our future. You have the right to be patient for a little longer. After so many years, we can't let it fall by the wayside."

……

One of the items that Su Yuan asked Zhao Yun to prepare was the bow and arrow used for the bed crossbow.

Ordinary bows and arrows definitely won't work. It's equivalent to putting marbles in a cannon, which is pure waste.This kind of eight-ox crossbow should be equipped with thick and long arrows, a little thicker than the spears used by soldiers.It's just that there is no material right now, so we can only use a long gun first.

In addition, the head of the gun needs to be modified. Ordinary gun heads have low lethality. The front end of the arrows shot by this kind of bed crossbow should be replaced with a three-edged blade, just like the fragments in a fragmentation grenade. It is necessary to expand the killing area and cause more casualties.

Under a lot of rush work, from yesterday to this morning, the Bei'an Army has successfully transformed five or six hundred spears to make special bows and arrows for the eight-ox crossbow.Five or six hundred crossbows may seem like a lot, but in fact, if three hundred crossbows are fired in volley, they will be exhausted in two rounds, and there is no need to ban them at all.

It's just that this bed crossbow is good everywhere, the only disadvantage is that it is big, and all [-] are summoned, and the occupied area is really not small.And considering the case of only attacking the west city gate, only a hundred will be enough.

A hundred of them fired six rounds in a row, enough to completely suppress the defenders on the city wall.During this period of time, if the infantry led by Li Yuanba broke through the city, as long as they could enter the capital, the battle would be sure.

Maybe there will be many martial arts masters in the city, but Su Yuan doesn't care at all, anyway, he also has Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, Mei Lan Zhu Ju, and Zhen Miao to protect him.

However, what Su Yuan didn't expect was that before nightfall, the enemy army made movement first.

After Fu Chengyang came back from the palace, he was immediately questioned by Li Gui, asking him where he had been.

"The sage ordered me to kill Su Yuan within three days, so I will naturally make preparations." After Fu Chengyang finished speaking, he looked at the Bei'an military camp.

He stayed at Concubine Yu's place last night, and the next morning, he went to the spider headquarters and found that it had been destroyed and all members were gone.

He also found that even Jia Yi was nowhere to be found.

Only then did he realize that when they met last time, Jia Yi had probably expected that things would develop like this.And the reason why the spider was taken over by the pot is also inseparable from it.

"This bastard..."

Fu Chengyang cursed secretly in his heart, fortunately the two are still in a cooperative relationship, but in the end, Jiayi backstabbed him so quickly.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

As for Jia Yi, a mysterious person, he has been investigating for several years, but he can't find out its origin.

This may only prove that there is an even more mysterious organization behind it... This organization may even be outside of Dazhou and related to overseas countries.

But now is not the time to struggle with that.

Fu Chengyang withdrew his thoughts and said to Li Gui, "I'm going to infiltrate into the Bei'an army and wait for an opportunity to kill Su Yuan. For this reason, Master Li must send a team of soldiers to attack frontally and confuse the enemy's sight."

"No." Li Gui flatly refused, "Once again and again, like the previous two times, we can no longer send soldiers out to die."

"A group of useless things, what can they do if they die!" Fu Chengyang said coldly.

Li Gui confronted him tit-for-tat: "Eunuch Fu, the military power is in my hands, so I won't do it if I say no. Please, Mr. Fu, figure out a way for yourself!"

"……very good."

Without saying a word, Fu Chengyang went down from the city wall and circled to the flank of the Bei'an Army.

The so-called "infiltration" is nothing but a lie.Because he wants to fake his death, he must have a witness.

The best witness is none other than Li Gui.Only when Li Gui saw that he was "dead" would he report it, and since the Li family had been loyal to the royal family for generations, Qingxiang would not doubt what Li Gui said.

And for Li Gui to see him die, he would have to make a big fuss in the Bei'an army... This is not "compatible" with infiltrating itself.

Therefore, he planned to kill people from the very beginning, causing chaos in the Bei'an army. When the master who was comparable to him appeared, he deliberately acted inferior, pretended to be dead, and then took the opportunity to escape.

It is not difficult to do this, he has a miraculous skill that can help him complete this plan.

He originally wanted to try to sneak into the army first, to see if he could kill Su Yuan before he suspended animation.It would be perfect if he could be killed and suspended animation after a big mess.

But when he approached the camp, he found that the sentry guards of the Bei'an Army were too dense, and each sentry guard was almost within the sight range of two or three other sentry guards.He could hardly kill one without being noticed by another.

Fu Chengyang is a great master, but the great master can't be invisible, so he had to give up sneaking in and directly choose to make a big noise.

Therefore, when he was deliberately discovered by the sentry guards of the Bei'an Army, he immediately mobilized his true energy, and a cloud of black air emerged from his palm, enveloping the guard.

"what!!!"

The soldier who was touched by the black air immediately let out a scream, his whole body was visibly corroded, and turned into a puddle of blood in an instant!
Woo-!
The sound of the horn that symbolized the enemy's attack sounded, and the Bei'an Army immediately put on alert. Su Yuan was squatting on the ground to modify the gun head, but he immediately stood up when he heard the sound of the horn.

"what happened?"

He thought it was the defenders of the capital who initiated the attack, but he looked up and saw that the city gate was clearly closed.The next moment, he realized that the commotion came from the southern flank, and someone was challenging his army alone!
"Where is the stupefied young man?"

Su Yuan was a little dazed for a moment, but when he saw the man wield a black air that corroded dozens of soldiers into bones, he was shocked immediately.

"This is!"

Instantly killing dozens of people with a raised hand, this...

"My lord, please step back!" Zhao Yun held a gun and said solemnly, "I'm afraid that person is a great master!"

"Grandmaster... Fu Chengyang?!"

As soon as he called out the name, it didn't matter, Fu Chengyang's ears moved in the distance, as if he had caught something, and his eyes immediately turned to this side.

Fu Chengyang saw that there were quite a few people standing beside the tent, one of them was the young general in white robe, holding a long spear, obviously acting as a guard for the person behind him.Who will this young general in white robe be guarding?
"Su Yuan!!!"

Fu Chengyang was sure that the person behind Zhao Yun was Su Yuan, even though the latter was wearing ordinary soldier armor, he thought he was right!

In an instant, he stepped on the heads of several soldiers, and the black real energy exploded, rushing from the air!
"damn it……"

Seeing Fu Chengyang staring at him, Su Yuan knew that his identity might be exposed.

At this time, Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba were both in front of him. They stared at Fu Chengyang who was approaching quickly, and they swore to protect Su Yuan's safety to the death.

Su Yuan was still worried about them, Zhao Yun's half-step master was not Fu Chengyang's opponent.Although Li Yuanba was born with supernatural power, would he be unable to withstand Fu Chengyang's "corroding true essence"?
Just when he was a little confused, a gentle voice made him feel at ease.

"Xiao Yuan, don't panic."

"Great Master..."

Su Yuan turned his head to look, and Zhen Miao was standing beside him at the moment.

"Grand Master, can you beat it?" Even though Su Yuan believed in Zhen Miao, the enemy was also a Grand Master after all.

Before Zhen Miao could answer, Fu Chengyang had already approached.

He didn't care about others, he transported [-]% of his real energy, and slapped Su Yuan with his palm.

Thick black smoke like a storm covered the sky and covered the sun, rolling towards Su Yuan madly, trying to swallow him up to the bone!
"Die!" Fu Chengyang sneered.

At this moment, Zhen Miao's thin lips parted slightly.

She blew lightly.

"call……"

The surging black smoke dissipated in an instant.Under the clear sky, it seemed as if it had never appeared before.

Fu Chengyang was stunned, staring blankly at Zhen Miao.

Gradually, he seemed to feel something, and the anger on his face turned into fear.

Immediately, he let out a terrified scream: "How is that possible?! Could it be that you... you are not a great master!!!"

Zhen Miao just said lightly:
"Great Master, I am no longer."
