After becoming the villain

Chapter 178 "Jinling Rebellion" and "Confrontation on a Rainy Night"

The bright moon hangs high.

Night falls.

In Jinling City, the Forbidden Palace was filled with singing and dancing to celebrate the grand ceremony.

Inside Jinwang Mansion.

Zhao Lingcheng was wearing the prince's armor and sitting in the hall, with a sandbox map of the entire Jinling City in front of him.

Around the sand table map are the ten lieutenants who used to follow him in the north and south, but now they were all urgently recalled to his side by Zhao Lingcheng with a royal order.

Zhao Lingcheng tapped the wide armrest of his seat again and again.

He has been fighting all his life, and there are many more critical and unfavorable situations than now.

However, Zhao Lingcheng has never been so flustered as he was when facing this battle tonight.

He couldn't control his panic, which prevented him from being as calm as before on the battlefield.

He was even a little nervous and his fingers were trembling.

Those ten lieutenants, although Zhao Lingcheng didn't say it clearly, but now that the sand table map is in front of them, they probably understand what Zhao Lingcheng is going to do.

Guards from the Jin Palace kept coming to report——

"Report, His Highness the King of Jin, Mr. Lu Minghui, has lured Cao Xi, the governor of the East Factory, out of Jinling."

"I know, let's investigate again and report again." Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng responded coldly.

"Report, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Mr. Yi Junhan, has led the dead men of the palace to sneak into the palace, thinking they are inside."

"Well, let's investigate again and report again."

"Report, His Highness King Jin, our people have falsely reported that there is a big demon that is infesting and eating people in the East China Sea. The commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Department, Yan Weiyu, has led half of the top officials of the Demon Suppression Department to the East China Sea to quell the monster overnight."

"Well, let's investigate again and report again."

"Report, Your Highness the King of Jin, the City Defense Department has opened the gates of Jinling City, and the garrison has entered the city under the leadership of General Zhu and General Zhou, and is at your disposal at any time."

"Okay, check again and report again."

"Report, General Yuchizuo's messenger has been contacted. General Yuchizuo has personally led [-] direct elites, and is rushing to Jinling on a starry night. It is expected to arrive tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning? It's a bit too late. I'm afraid the night will be long and I'll have many dreams." Zhao Lingcheng whispered to himself.

At this time, a captain of the palace guard stumbled over. He knelt down directly in front of Zhao Lingcheng and said -

"Prince Jin, an assassin using maces and flying needles just appeared in the palace and killed several guards. I'm afraid it's the same assassin who was at the Jinling Poetry Conference."

"Is it that guy? Where are the others?!"

"We almost killed him, but we let him get away."

The captain of the guard was a little panicked, and he continued to add: "... I saw that he had been around King Jin's palace before, and I am afraid that he had overheard your conversation. Little man, I am worried that he will Spread the word?"

"waste!"

Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng shouted angrily, drew his sword and chopped off the head of the guard captain with one strike.

He looked around and knew that the arrow was on the string at this moment and had to be fired.

"I can't wait any longer for General Yuchi."

Zhao Lingcheng said, gritting his teeth, he went straight to the courtyard of the palace, followed by ten lieutenants.

In the courtyard of the palace, the City Defense Department, the Jinyi Department, the Ministry of War, and all the sergeant commanders in Jinling City who still support Zhao Lingcheng have arrived here.

Zhao Lingcheng's armor reflected the light of the torch.

He looked at this group of solemn and neat sergeants, holding their swords horizontally, with a crazy face, and said angrily——

"Everyone, life, death, honor and disgrace depend on this!"

"...In the future, you will all be the biggest contributors!"

"……Come with me!"

"...Surge into the palace and establish a new king!"

……

Tonight, the King of Jin forces the palace.

The originally bright moonlight suddenly changed at this moment, the clouds suddenly became dense, and soon it started to rain heavily.

in the rainy night.

Knife light flickered.

In the prosperous Jinling City in the past, now there are only sounds of bloody fighting.

Heavy rain washes the ground.

At first, they were able to take away the blood, but later on, the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Division of the Forbidden Army and the King of Jin were already bleeding like rivers of blood.

On the palace floor and on the marble tiles, only a winding sea of ​​blood and countless corpses were left.

……

……

Jinling City.

late at night.

This night, at the beginning, Jinling City was no different from before, it was still brightly lit.

Even the Imperial Palace and Fangshi were a little too busy because of the engagement ceremony between Princess Taiping and the Crown Prince.

But suddenly, in the second half of the night, it started to rain heavily.

This is the cold rain in winter in the south, which is extremely rare.

The night market closes early.

Countless shops in the city have also closed their doors.

The people in Jinling City turned off their lights and went to bed early.

As if they had suddenly received an order, they closed the doors and windows neatly.

No one knows what's going on.

But it wasn't until later that they heard the deafening shouts of killing...

……

In Jinling City, fighting was fierce everywhere.

The [-] rebels led by Zhao Lingcheng had already entered the city. The first thing they encountered was the Sixth Division defenders who had received orders from the master of the secret door and came to prepare to replace the lower city defense department guarding the city gate.

But the defenders of the Sixth Division arrived a step too late...

Fierce street fighting broke out between the two sides in the northern city.

King Jin fought bravely. He personally led the army several times, broke into the enemy's position, and defeated the defenders of the Sixth Division.

Coupled with the help of Jin King's followers such as the City Defense Department in Jinling City, in less than an hour, except for a few places in the huge northern part of Jinling City, the rest is under the control of King Jin Zhao Lingcheng.

At this moment, King Jin no longer cared about anything else and led the most elite troops around him, heading straight for the Forbidden Palace.

……

Inside the palace.

It was pouring rain.

In the narrow alley, Yan Wulu wore a palace hat and a raincoat and passed quickly with a gun.

He has already discussed with the prince, Yu Wang and others to arrange the guard force arrangement for the palace.

Most of the nobles of the royal family had already gathered towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the old emperor was.

But Yan Wulu suddenly remembered that the palace of Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui was still on the edge of the palace...

The incident happened suddenly, and Zhao Lingfeng actually forgot to send someone to notify Zhao Lingrui to take refuge.

Now, Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng's internal agents have sneaked into the palace, and there is no guarantee that Princess Taiping will not be held hostage by the other party.

Therefore, Yan Wulu decided to personally bring Zhao Lingrui to the Yangxin Palace.

After all, there is currently no one here who is more powerful and qualified than him.

In order to deal with King Jin's [-] troops, the prince was unable to divide his troops, so he entrusted full power to Yan Wulu.

Everything was fine.

But suddenly, at the exit of this remote alley, a tall figure in white stood in front of Yan Wulu.

It was the same Daqian palace bamboo hat, but the man in white in front of him wore it with a kind of unconventional beauty.

But Yan Wulu had a different feeling.

Even though she was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, she could not suppress her aura of superiority and arrogance.

"Yan Wulu, are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?" The man in white suddenly said.

His words had a Western accent, which was originally a distinctive accent, but now it sounded particularly harsh.

"Yi Junhan." Yan Wulu was not easily offended by the other party's trash talk. He was constantly growing.

In the early years, this kind of low-level trash talk might have made his heart waver slightly, but now, he has been able to turn a deaf ear to these things.

"...Yi Junhan, you didn't try to cooperate with Prince Jin, but you showed up here. Do you want to deal with me alone?"

"Oh?" Yi Junhan also approached and took out a golden mace in one hand, "...Is my plan so obvious?"

"of course."

Yan Wulu smiled lightly, raised the front of the bamboo hat slightly with one hand, and continued: "...Could it be that, you thought, I wouldn't be able to see that you are leading away the masters around me one by one?"

"...I guess you have been preparing for a long time since Amaro said goodbye that day."

Yan Wulu continued: "I also heard that the Yi family's envoy was also massacred tonight. It must have been you, right?"

"...Because they followed Yi Xiangtian, you killed them. In this chaotic time, you used the power of King Jin. In order to avenge your own private revenge, you spared no one of the thousands of envoys. "

"...Indeed, he is worse than the evil prince like me."

The heavy rain is still falling, like a broken water column.

Yi Junhan did not deny Yan Wulu's statement.

He didn't show any fear or cowardice.

He had long known that the person in front of him was an extremely cunning enemy who was extremely good at psychological tactics.

Yan Wulu, at this moment, seemed to have seen through his own plan, and kept mocking himself...

But perhaps, Yan Wulu was already scared to death in his heart.

It's just that on the outside, he still insists on showing a calm and wise appearance.

He has learned this point many times.

Yi Junhan didn't say much. The chain link on the golden mace in his hand rotated slightly, making a crisp metallic sound.

This is his method of controlling beasts.

Yan Wulu also sensed an abnormality behind him with his spiritual consciousness. Looking back, he found that there was a fourth-level magical beast "Aoki Water Rhinoceros" blocking his retreat.

"Will you block my escape route first? It seems that you are very confident that you can defeat me."

"Humph."

Yi Junhan snorted lightly, "Yan Wulu, I have always paid attention to your warrior strength."

"...On that day at the Jinling Poetry Meeting, I had roughly figured out your warrior realm. Now that I think about it, you are only a third-level Dzogchen warrior at best."

"... After practicing martial arts for a year, you have made rapid progress, but without the protection of the masters around you, you are no match for me!"

"...So, suffer death! Yan Wulu!"

Yi Junhan suddenly roared.

The anger he had suppressed for months finally broke out at this moment.

He had never been oppressed for so long.

He is a character who never suffers.

No matter who it was that hit him at that time, he would pay it back the next second!

Even the Yi family, who was exiled because of his father's failure, he would take revenge and go back.

But only when facing the prince of Zhenbei, Yi Junhan could only be defeated every time.

It really made him angry.

Yinren has been planning for so long, just to settle old and new scores tonight.

Kill this man and then rescue Bai Ze!

Yi Junhan's mind was set.

The golden mace in his hand was also injected with the spiritual energy of his animal trainer at this moment, instantly becoming golden.

Yan Wulu just looked at each other calmly.

After not having a face-to-face encounter for so long, Yi Junhan's own fighting strength...

...almost no progress at all!
Yan Wulu sneered inwardly.

Yi Junhan was already coming quickly with his mace in hand.

The huge raindrops that were about to fall on the ground were now hit and broken by Yi Junhan.

The golden light on the golden mace became more and more magnificent.

Before the raindrops fall on it, it has already evaporated.

Almost instantly, Yi Junhan arrived in front of Yan Wulu and waved out his mace, almost invisible.

But Yan Wulu didn't move.

In Yi Junhan's eyes, it was just because his reaction was too slow and the rainy night hindered his [Sky Spiritual Root] consciousness.

Yi Junhan's eyes sparkled...

He seemed to be able to feel the pleasure of knocking Yan Wulu away with his mace! ! !

next moment...

Pain struck.

It was as if some slender and heavy object suddenly hit his waist directly.

And the place of impact turned out to be extremely coincidental, exactly where Zhu Gongqi pierced his waist, and where the black sword in the black-armored demon puppet's hand pierced that day.

Yi Junhan only felt that the wound that had been healed with stitches seemed to burst open again.

This can be regarded as the terrifying thing about Zhu Gongqi's [Xuanwu Thorn Shield]. The wounds it creates are difficult to heal.

Yi Junhan was hit by the black-armored demon puppet again that day, almost killing him.

The severe pain hit the brain quickly.

What followed was an inexplicable feeling of weightlessness.

When Yi Junhan reacted again, he had hit the stone wall of the palace alley again.

The entire masonry of this stone wall was shattered at this moment, with concave cracks appearing like a spider web.

The severe pain of hitting the stone wall made Yi Junhan's brain suddenly wake up.

He still couldn't understand the moment just now...what exactly happened?
……

"Yi Junhan, you are very similar to me before, very confident."

Yan Wulu looked at the spear in his hand.

Just now he fired a random shot across the air, but the other party couldn't react.

For a moment, I didn't know whether it was because my fifth-level warrior was too strong, or if the opponent's third-level beast tamer was too weak.

"...Confidence is originally a good thing. But sometimes, being overconfident can lead to unclear distinction between the strength of the enemy and ourselves."

"...then he will seek his own death."

Yan Wulu put the spear in his hand behind him and stepped forward slowly.

Yi Junhan realized in hindsight that Yan Wulu's strength was hidden, and he was probably far above him!

He didn't dare to show any further neglect and hurriedly rang the golden mace chain in his hand.

Beast tamers are not warriors.

Their true strength is not in close combat, but in driving monsters.

The green wood water rhinoceros, which was originally used to block Yan Wulu's retreat, suddenly rushed towards Yan Wulu's direction.

An adult Aoki Water Rhinoceros is as huge as a small hill.

And in the rainy night, the strength of Aoki Water Rhino became even stronger.

I saw that green-black rhinoceros, so fast and fierce that it smashed the stone walls on both sides of the alley to pieces with its huge body.

Unable to dodge left or right.

The Cyanwood Water Rhino has always been famous for its infinite strength, and it is almost impossible to confront it head-on.

Yi Junhan was staring at Yan Wulu's position at this moment. He was thinking that Yan Wulu could only use Qinggong to fly upward to avoid it.

So……

Yi Junhan still had some pain in his waist and abdomen, but he had no time to care about it at the moment.

He didn't even have time to stand up, and slumped on the ground, just trying to summon a golden eagle of a monster he had domesticated to attack Yan Wulu who flew to avoid it a while ago.
