I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 66 Why should I pay back the advantage I gained through my own ability?

After all, Dong Min was his own brother. Seeing him being humiliated by Wang Jing, Dong Zhuo could no longer suppress his anger. He immediately shouted, "Wang Jing, let him in!"

Dong Zhuo was so furious that he asked someone to bring him a precious bow. Regardless of the injury on his chest, he forced himself to use his profound skills, pulled the bowstring and shot Wang Jing.

After three string vibrations, three flying arrows turned into streams of light and shot out, hitting Wang Jing directly in the face.

The arrow turned into a blood-red evil tiger in mid-air, emitting fierce roars. From its bloody mouth, there was a golden edge and bursts of scorching breath that could burn everything surged out.

He actually integrated the two magical powers, the Tiger Evil Golden Knife and the Molten Stone Flowing Gold, into his archery skills. Dong Zhuo's martial arts skills were truly extraordinary.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he had extraordinary martial arts skills and was born with supernatural powers. He was good at wearing two quivers and shooting continuously left and right while riding a horse at a gallop. He made the Huns and Qiang people terrified in Liangzhou. He was a genuine fifth-level martial arts expert. Now he has initially mastered the peerless magical power of flowing gold and smelting stone, and his strength has reached a new level.

However, there are always stronger ones among the strong. Facing the incoming arrows, Wang Jing laughed: "How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert? You also have to take three arrows from me!"

Wang Jing stood up and stepped hard, and the Overlord Bow bounced up from the ground and fell steadily into his hand. He suddenly pulled the bowstring made of black dragon tendons, and the violent and surging power was like a raging flood locked by a dam, which could pour down at any time and burst out with earth-shaking power.

The innate Qi of Bing Fire and the innate Qi of Geng Metal converge and transform into a divine arrow with a red glow and a dazzling edge.

"Dong Zhuo, watch out for the arrow!"

The divine feathers are stunning, and the fierce arrows fly across the sky.

The peerless archery skills of the former overlord Xiang Yu have reappeared in the world, with surging power that is unmatched.

In a flash, Wang Jing also shot three arrows in return!

These three arrows were shot so fast and fiercely with great power that they were like a needle against a wheat spike, and they hit the three tiger-killing arrows shot by Dong Zhuo one after another with great accuracy.

Molten stone and flowing gold also use the mechanism of the two kinds of Qi, metal and fire. However, Dong Zhuo had been injured before and his strength was affected. On the contrary, Wang Jing, who was well rested, took advantage of Dong Min's success to establish his prestige and won the hearts of the army and the people. His good luck was so great that it even surpassed Dong Zhuo's Seven Killing Stars.

Boom boom boom~
Three arrows against three arrows, Dong Zhuo's Tiger-killing Flying Arrows only lasted for a moment before being annihilated in an instant.

On the other hand, Wang Jing's Fiery Feather Arrow still had some power left, and it transformed into three golden-red phoenix shadows, which swooped down towards Dong Zhuo with the clear sound of phoenixes' cries.

Instinctively feeling the tremendous power of the three arrows, Dong Zhuo felt as if a disaster was about to happen. Without thinking, he drew his sword and chopped them down.

However, how could it be easy to master the divine feather archery technique that Wang Jing was willing to use all his physical strength, vital energy and divine consciousness to perform?
Each of these three arrows has the power to split mountains and rocks. They are so powerful that they can penetrate even a person wearing armor. They cannot be blocked by ordinary means.

Dang~
Dong Zhuo activated his Immortal Energy and slashed with his sword, chopping at the incoming Phoenix shadow amidst the ferocious tiger roar. After a loud bang, he barely managed to disperse it. But the price was not low. The base of Dong Zhuo's right hand burst open, and the blood that flowed out dyed his palm red.

Dang~
Dong Zhuo had no time to think. He held the sword with both hands, shouted again, activated the Immortal Yuan Gong, and chopped fiercely, waving the Hongming Sword to block Wang Jing's dazzling second arrow. The surging flames suddenly exploded, and Dong Zhuo's arms became numb. Even with his hundred-forged martial bones, he felt weak all over and his bones and flesh were numb.

The third arrow cannot be stopped!

Just when Dong Zhuo thought he was doomed, Lu Bu, holding his halberd, finally made his move. He leaped up and roared, "Don't worry, foster father. I'm here to save you!"

The Fang Tian Hua Ji flew up like a dragon, from bottom to top in one go, narrowly blocking Wang Jing's shocking third arrow and successfully saving Dong Zhuo.

But the huge force still made the Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's hand tremble and hum continuously, and he was knocked back three steps. The shock in his heart took a long time to calm down.

Although he had never fought with Wang Jing before, he could more or less feel Wang Jing's level of cultivation. However, Lu Bu was secretly shocked at this time. How could the young man in front of him have such powerful strength?

Lü Bu had no idea that Wang Jing, who had barely fired three shots, felt a numbness in his waist and weak in his knees. It was only through his strong willpower that he pretended to be calm and composed, shocking Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo.

Wang Jing stood on the high platform, holding up his body, but his tone was stronger than ever before: "Dong Zhuo, I want to kill you. Now I only need to shoot the fourth arrow, and you will die here today. If I want to kill you, how many of you Xiliang rats will be able to leave alive?"

Seeing Wang Jing holding the Overlord Bow, standing proudly, looking around with disdain, he treated his own heroes as if they were nothing.

Although Lu Bu, Li Jue and others were not convinced, they did not dare to act rashly, for fear that Wang Jing would really shoot the fourth arrow. By then, no one would be 100% sure of blocking it!
"The Overlord Bow and the Fiery Feather Arrows are indeed worthy of their reputation. My defeat was not unfair."

Dong Zhuo endured the pain. His whole body was burning with pain and it was obvious that his muscles had been torn in many places.

Hua Xiong and other Xiliang generals, even Lu Bu, looked at Wang Jing with full vigilance, fearing that his fourth arrow would be aimed at them, and thus each of them dared to shout.

It is actually the name of a man and the shadow of a tree.

In the past when the Chu and Han were competing for supremacy, Xiang Yu's Overlord Bow and Fiery Feather Arrows were rampant throughout the world, and were used to deal with all kinds of disobedience. It is unknown how many famous generals and heroes he shot and killed, and they had no choice but to believe in it.

No one dared to move at this time, for fear that Wang Jing would dislike them and shoot an arrow at them.

Dong Zhuo was in a state of confusion, and his gaze towards Wang Jing was complicated, filled with hatred and fear. "It is said that this boy inherited the legacy of the Overlord, but I never thought he would be so strong. I cannot defeat him, or else my strength will be compromised and my plan will fail."

Dong Zhuo, who was frightened by Wang Jing, quickly calmed down from his anger. Reason once again took over the upper hand in his thinking, and he began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

Is war or peace?

We may not win the war, and even if we do, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

After just a brief deduction, Dong Zhuo gave up the option of fighting to the death with Wang Jing. After all, this would not benefit him at all and would also affect his subsequent plans.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't seem to be planning on taking action, Wang Jing was secretly glad that he didn't have to use his last trump card, which was very beneficial to him.

Wang Jing then put down the Overlord Bow in his hand, but his attitude remained tough: "Dong Zhuo, I have never provoked you, but your people have repeatedly come to me for trouble. Do you really think I have a good temper?"

Li Jue and Guo Si, the two generals standing beside Dong Zhuo, felt humiliated when they heard this and hated Wang Jing to death.

Wang Jing ignored their feelings and asked for money directly: "Tell me how you are going to compensate me for my losses."

Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and admitted defeat: "Come here, go get the money!"

The Dong family is the Sikong after all. They have made a lot of money since entering Luoyang, so they naturally don't lack this little money. In order to ease the relationship with Wang Jing, they have to give it.

After a while, a heavy box was lifted up, filled with gold equivalent to 100 million coins.

Wang Jing glanced at the gold in the box and was overjoyed, but his tone was very dissatisfied: "I just shot three arrows, how can 100 million be enough? I want 300 million!"

Dong Zhuo bit his teeth until they bled, and finally managed to hold back the rage that was about to boil in his heart: "Okay, three hundred million coins, I'll give it to you!"

If this money was used to buy an official position, all three ministers could take turns to serve!

But now it was given away for nothing. Dong Zhuo was furious. But who could blame him for not being able to perfect his magical power of melting stone and flowing gold to stop Wang Jing's divine feathers from rising to the sky?
All the generals of the Xiliang Army were angry at Wang Jing's aggressive behavior, but revenge was a matter for the future. They had to get through this hurdle first.

Soon, the money was delivered.

After Wang Jing inspected it, he waved his hand and said, "Very good, the compensation has been paid, and I am not an unreasonable person. You can take this piece of trash and leave."

Dong Zhuo quickly ordered his men to help Dong Min up from the ground. He took one last look at Wang Jing and hid his deep hatred in his heart: "Let's retreat!"

"General Bei Zhonglang, for the humiliation you suffered today, I, Dong Zhuo, will repay you double in the future!
"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you to die."

After glaring at each other, the two men slowly retreated. In the end, they did not choose to engage in a full-scale conflict. After all, when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits.

Yuan Wei’s problem has not been solved yet, so there is really no need to start a fight.

After Dong Zhuo and his men left, Wang Ling saw Wang Jing still standing on the high platform, gazing into the distance, and couldn't help asking, "Second brother, everyone has left, why don't you come down?"

Wang Jing then sent a telepathic message: "Damn it, I'm so exhausted now that it's hard for me to move. Quickly dismiss the soldiers, then quietly help me go back to heal my wounds. Be careful not to let anyone see me!"

Wang Ling hurriedly followed his instructions, and finally carefully helped Wang Jing to the quiet room, and also asked Diao Chan to take care of him.

Wang Jing, who shot three arrows by force, was also seriously injured. He could not fight for at least three days. His muscles were sore and he allowed Diao Chan to massage him. Wang Ling was shocked: "Second brother, you were just bluffing?"

Wang Jing was lying on the bed, resting his head on Diao Chan's slender legs, closing his eyes and pretending to rest, saying, "Nonsense, if I could shoot the fourth arrow, I would have shot it earlier."

Wang Ling was a little scared: "What if Dong Zhuo and the others find out?"

"What can I do? Of course I have to call for help. I have already discussed this with the Imperial Master. He will be ready to come to my aid as soon as the arrows are fired."

Before the battle started, although Wang Jing seemed impulsive, he had actually made as thorough preparations as possible. He was also sure that Dong Zhuo at this time would have no time to distract himself and deal with him.

After all, Yuan Wei had never taken any action, and Yuan Shao, who was lurking in the dark, always wanted to replace Dong Zhuo's position and seize power.

With these threats in place, even if Dong Zhuo was a pig, he would never be so impulsive as to fight the Northern Army at all costs.

As long as they demonstrate extremely powerful military force, the armed robbery group on the other side will definitely not come to fight to the death at the risk of their lives. After all, the Xiliang soldiers are just a bunch of ruffians. It is simply ridiculous to expect them to be loyal and have backbone.

A few days later, seeing that the situation in Luoyang had returned to calm again and that Wang Jing's Northern Army and Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army had no plans to expand the conflict, all the civil and military officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief.

The capital at this time could no longer withstand the ravages of war. Otherwise, once it fell into a situation of chaos and war, everyone's life would only become more difficult.

Peaceful days always pass quickly, and October came in the blink of an eye.

After waiting for a long time, Dong Zhuo still did not depose Emperor Liu Bian and replace him with Liu Xie as emperor. Wang Jing could not help but call Xun You to discuss the matter: "Gongda, it is already October. Why hasn't Dong Zhuo taken any action yet? He is so slow in deposing and enthroning the emperor. Does Yuan Wei have any objection?"

Xun You was speechless when he heard this: "My Lord, this is because Dong Zhuo is afraid of you. The three arrows you shot were really too shocking. With such a threat at hand, how could Dong Zhuo dare to act rashly? What if he is blamed and ends up making things easier for others? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Wang Jing was slightly stunned: "After all this, it turns out Dong Zhuo is afraid of me?"

After Xun You's reminder, Wang Jing understood clearly that as long as he did not leave Luoyang, Dong Zhuo would never choose to take action.

Just when Wang Jing was worried about this, a guard came in and reported: "Someone from the palace came to convey the order. The Baibo army attacked Hedong. The situation is critical. The Queen Mother urgently summoned civil officials and military generals to hold a meeting."

"White Wave Army?"

By the time Wang Jing entered the court, the civil and military officials were already arguing with each other. The reason was that Hedong was too close to Luoyang, almost separated by a river, and could threaten the capital Luoyang at any time.

"The remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Guo Da and others, have raised the banner of rebellion in Baibo Valley, Xihe, and are now attacking the counties and prefectures of Hedong. The situation is critical, Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Is the news reliable? Weren't the Yellow Turban rebels wiped out? How come they are rising again? Someone must be held accountable for this!"

Then in the blink of an eye, everyone's criticism was directed at Dong Zhuo.

The Imperial Censor Rao Longzong was already dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and he took the opportunity to attack him, almost pointing his finger at Dong Zhuo and scolding him: "Dong Sikong, I remember that you deployed troops in Hedong County before, right? Why is there chaos there now? Are you colluding with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans?"

Dong Zhuo was so angry that he wanted to chop him with a knife, but he shouted back, "Nonsense! I once personally led troops to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban bandits, and fought hundreds of battles, big and small. How dare you accuse me of colluding with the Yellow Turban bandits? What is your intention? I think you are the one colluding with the Yellow Turban bandits!"

Several civil officials who were good at cursing exposed Dong Zhuo's true colors in front of all the civil and military officials without using any curse words: "Sikong, if you don't want others to know, you better not do it yourself. The Xiliang army stationed in Hedong County has poor military discipline and plunders the local area. Such beastly behavior has caused the people to be angry. If you hadn't forced the local people to live, how could Guo Da and his ilk gather 100,000 people?"

This direct question left Dong Zhuo speechless.

In fact, the military discipline of local armies these days is not very good, but there is no doubt that even if they are compared, the Xiliang Army is definitely the worst one.

Dong Zhuo was caught in a weak spot, and immediately a group of people surrounded him and criticized him, and started to put all the blame on him.

"That's enough. Is this the time to shirk responsibility?"

Wang Jing walked into the court and shouted loudly, intimidating the whole audience.

He spoke not to help Dong Zhuo, but because he couldn't stand the ugly faces of these civil and military officials.

There were refugees everywhere in Hedong, and how many people were living in fear of their future?
Instead of trying to find a way to solve the problem, they are trying desperately to pass the buck here. Do they really expect Guo Da and other rebels to just die of old age in the fields?

Yang Biao, the Grand Secretary, was very displeased with Wang Jing, so he said to him coldly: "The Northern General said that we are shirking our responsibilities. I wonder if you have any solution?"

Yang Biao was born in the Hongnong Yang family. He has now secretly sided with Dong Zhuo because Dong Zhuo promised that after he became the Grand Marshal, he would make him the Minister of Works.

That's why Yang Biao stood up for Dong Zhuo and picked a fight with Wang Jing.

Whenever Wang Jing couldn't come up with a reliable solution, Yang Biao would dare to accuse Wang Jing of talking big and ruin his reputation.

Other court officials also glared at Wang Jing and ridiculed him, saying, "We are concerned about state affairs, unlike you, the Northern Army General, who occupies the West Garden and indulges in pleasure every day without knowing the suffering of the people."

Emperor Lingdi spent a huge amount of money to build the West Garden, which is a Feng Shui treasure land. But now it has been taken over by Wang Jing in the name of protecting Chenliu Prince Liu Xie. Naturally, there are many people who are jealous.

You should know that Chenliu King Liu Xie has now returned to live in Jiade Hall, but Wang Jing, the self-proclaimed "bodyguard", is still shamelessly staying in Xiyuan and even brought his maid Diao Chan and others to live there permanently.

This is really too much!

But why should you pay back the advantage you have taken by virtue of your own ability?

Wang Jing was too lazy to argue with these people, so he directly asked Emperor Liu Bian for permission: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to Hedong to quell the rebellion."

"What did you say?!"

All the civil and military officials in the court cried out in surprise.

Wang Jing's move was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Dong Zhuo looked at Wang Jing with surprise and doubt.

Originally, Dong Zhuo had to take the blame for the Hedong Baibo Army, and he even decided to send his son-in-law to lead the expedition.

But now Wang Jing suddenly jumped out and said he would take the blame for him, and Dong Zhuo suddenly began to doubt his life.

Wang Jing was naturally not trying to be a good person. He made a huge request, not only for money and food, but also for the arsenal to be opened so that he could choose the weapons and equipment inside.

"No!"

"Don't agree to that!"

"This is too much!"

When they heard Wang Jing's idea to seize the armory, minister Huang Wan, Taizhong doctor Yang Biao and other court officials immediately attacked Wang Jing and expressed their opposition.

The national arsenal is the wealth accumulated by the imperial court over hundreds of years. Can you, the General of the North, touch it at will?

But Wang Jing simply ignored these so-called important officials of the court, because in Luoyang now, the only person who could have the final say was Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei hid behind the scenes and put Dong Zhuo on the stage as his spokesperson, so as long as Dong Zhuo nodded, this matter would surely succeed.

So Wang Jing didn't bother to talk nonsense, and looked directly at Dong Zhuo, with a smile on his face: "Dong Sikong, what do you say?"

Dong Zhuo became angry when he saw Wang Jing's expression. He simply closed his eyes and started to think quickly with his fat head.

Now he has no idea of ​​Wang Jing's plan, but he knows the situation in Hedong. The so-called rebellion is not as simple as it seems. Whoever goes there will be in trouble.
