"The king of Zhou sneered and laughed lightly."
But when Bian Gan took out the ancestral laws, he had to give in and agreed to invite Jiang Huan to the site for investigation.
"Alright, Fei Zhong, bring the assassin before the Duke, and hand him over for an interrogation by the Duke himself."
Jiang Huan is a tall man with broad shoulders and a rotund waist.
Bi Gan conducted the trial on the spot.
"Are you Jiang Huan?"
Jiang Huan looked sturdy, but his demeanor was filled with fear and he spoke tremblingly, "I am Jiang Huan."
"You are from where? Why did you come to the Capital of Zhou?"
"I am from the Eastern Lu region. Because of poverty at home, I came to the Capital of Zhou to enlist as a soldier."
Bi Gan's eyes brightened: "Are you a general from the Eastern Duke's family?"
Jiang Huan hurriedly shook his head: "The Eastern Marquis is like the sky over the Eastern Lu. I am of lowly birth and have never met the Eastern Marquis."
If Jiang Huan has not met the Eastern Duke, then he cannot be a member of the Jia family. Therefore, the assassination plot is entirely baseless. Without a plot, what crime could Queen Jia possibly have committed?
This matter is actually very simple. King Zhou didn't come up with a very complicated plan to frame someone. He just got a false confession, silenced the witness, and gave an explanation to the ministers, and that would have been the end of it. Who would have thought there would be a problem today at Fei Zhong's place.
Bi Gan would ask again, but King Zhou wouldn't give him the opportunity.
Now there's nothing more to say. Quickly cutting the knot is the most convenient way.
King Zhou shouted, "A lai, go ahead and behead the rebellious son! Anyone who dares to interfere will be killed without mercy!"
His eyes were filled with a killing intent. He would not care about killing two more royal uncles.
"Yes!"
Naked from the waist up, his whole body bulging with muscles like a humanoid beast, A lai kicked away the poor rhinoceros with one foot and showed a cruel smile to Yin Xiao. Without thinking, he charged towards him like a tiger.
Yin Xiao had martial arts on him and recently learned some spells from Molizhi Tian. However, in the world of "Divine Ascendancy," some low-level immortals may not be able to defeat top-ranking generals, as Yin Xiao is still a long way from becoming an immortal. However, A lai is undoubtedly at the highest level of physical strength among mortals.
Yin Xiao only managed to block two moves before finding himself in danger. A lai's strength was immense, and his speed was rapid; even without weapons, his combativeness was tremendous. Yang Ren quickly drew his sword to assist.
Yang Ren was a literatus, and if he were in another time, even a group of ten or eight of him would not be enough for A lai to pick up with one hand.
It happened that A lai was currently unarmored and weaponless, and Yang Ren's eyes had the characteristic of insight, allowing him to see A lai's every subtle movement. He would then strike his sword at A lai's heart or throat in advance. Even though A lai had a massive strength of over ten thousand jin, his mortal body could only temporarily avoid the sharpness of the sword.
"Scoundrel, palace guards! Whosoever can cut off the rebel's head will be rewarded with ten thousand ounces of gold!" Seeing that A lai was struggling to subdue Yin Xiao, King Zhou issued another command.
Jiang Huan, the witness, saw the scene in chaos and was about to run away. However, he was seen by Fei Yan. From a distance of fifty steps, an arrow was shot out. The arrow entered his left eye and came out from his brain, killing him on the spot.
The palace guards no longer cared about Bi Gan's identity as the Great Commander and drew their swords, intending to kill Yin Xiao.
"Chu!" A captain looked at the blood-stained spear point emerging from his throat. He reached out to grab something behind him, but as the spear was forcefully withdrawn, a large hole appeared in his throat, making a "sss" sound. With a strong body, he fell down and did not get back up.
At the same time, over ten palace guards were attacked.
Even though they were clad in armor and armed, the attackers were skilled in martial arts and struck in surprise. In a blink of an eye, a large number of Shang soldiers fell.
Of course, Yin Xiao was not alone. He had also brought along 300 soldiers from the State of Yu.
These soldiers had dark skin, their eyes murky. Previously, they had pretended to be mountain dwellers training rhinoceroses and tigers.
Their muscles were far less muscular than those of the palace guards, and with their short stature, they appeared very docile. No one suspected that these were Yin Xiao's men, let alone that they were a group of well-trained assassins.
The soldiers from Shandu had no hesitation in the sight of the carnage. They removed their outer garments, revealing their armor, and then dismantled the animal cages to retrieve a number of long spears.
Their equipment was actually quite simple, but their movements with the spears were very fluid. They seemed like a group of specially trained killing machines, often working in trios to trade injuries and kill a palace guard.
Outside the Palace of Immortal Longevity, the subordinates of Molizhi Tian, the eighteen celestial demons from the Shura race, danced the dance of celestial demons.
They were brought into the Palace of Immortal Longevity by Fei Zhong under the pretext of offering beautiful women.
In the region where the qi of mankind is at its peak, the power of immortals is almost solidified, and the eighteen celestial demons cannot use their magic. However, dance itself has spirituality. As everything has spirituality, it will naturally be attracted to spirituality.
Eighteen young women danced gracefully, wearing gauze robes that revealed their arms, thighs, and even the skin on their backs. Nose rings, navel rings, and ankle chains adorned their bodies, emitting a series of shimmering golden lights and alluring light sounds with every movement of their dance.
The soldiers from Shandu had already lost their masculinity and had no interest in the dance of the heavenly demons. They continued to kill without fatigue. Palace guards occasionally looked at the dance during battle, but in a momentary trance, they fell behind against the soldiers from Shandu. If their trance lasted longer, they might even risk their lives.
This is a mortal war, a war between father and son from the Shang family. The qi of mankind will not favor either side.
Almost at the same time, the soldiers of Duke Dong, who had been secretly in the city, all donned armor and brandished weapons, charging towards the Palace of Immortal Longevity.
Duke Dong's son, Jiang Wenhan, led 18,000 elite soldiers, using Yuhun's hand order, circumventing the guarded You Hans Pass and secretly arrived at the city of Chao Jiao. With the help of Yuhun's vassal, they opened the city gate. Jiang Wenhan's army rushed into Chao Jiao like a tide.
Duke Dong, Jiang Huanchu, no longer wanted to play political games with King Zhou. He directly launched an uprising and assisted his grandson Yin Xiao in ascending the throne! Avenging his daughter's death and exacting vengeance!
The battle at the Palace of Immortal Longevity had raged for half an hour. The palace gates were piled high with bodies. The makeshift formation set up by the palace guards was breached, and the soldiers from Shandu and Duke Dong shouted slogans like "Kill the tyrant" as they surged into the great hall.
A lai could be considered the super-powered version of Dian Wei. At this moment, he snatched up two big swords and slashed left and right like a madman, fending off the continuous wave of enemies. He was drenched in blood, some his own, but mostly that of his enemies.
King Zhou also personally wielded a broadsword to fight his enemies. His martial arts skills were extremely high, and almost no one could withstand his three attacks.
Many officials and scholars had become chaotic.
Deng Jiugong and Huang Feitu also took their swords to engage with the enemies. Their proficient martial arts, coupled with the robust bodies they acquired after eating Peach Immortality Peaches, had no problem dispatching ordinary soldiers. In the midst of battle, they once again exchanged looks and nodded to each other.
They both noticed the soldiers with the dialect of Eastern Lu, realizing that today's group-building activity had come to an end. Let's withdraw!
Huang Feitu looked at Zhou with a far-off gaze, thinking that today's departure meant they might never meet again in the future!
