At present, Li Siye could be said to be the person with the highest cultivation level at Wang Chong's side. As the future Invincible Great General, Li Siye's strength could be easily imagined.
But even the high-level Profound Martial Li Siye, who had once killed Black Dragon Zhao, seemed insignificant in comparison to that vast energy that had appeared out of nowhere.
In a flash, Li Siye, Elder Ye, Elder Zhao, Wang Chong, and Marchioness Yi all felt an intense unease.
"Don't worry about him. Li Siye, Elder Ye, kill An Yaluoshan! — "
Wang Chong suddenly bellowed.
For this operation, he had mobilized the strength of his entire clan, sparing no expense. And before this, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Although An Yaluoshan had successfully escaped from Drunken Sparrow restaurant, he had never been able to escape. Afterward, he had swiftly surrounded the Youzhou soldiers, so no matter how much An Yaluoshan wanted to escape from Drunken Sparrow restaurant, it was impossible.
But just when this operation was about to succeed, Wang Chong suddenly felt an intense threat. For a moment, Wang Chong suddenly understood.
An Yaluoshan and the Youzhou soldiers had not attacked just because they were intimidated by Li Siye and Li Siye's strength. While he was stalling for time to wait for the others, An Yaluoshan and the Youzhou soldiers were also stalling for time, waiting for something.
And now, that person had appeared.
Whoosh!
Li Siye, Senior Ye, and Senior Zhao, three cultivators of the Xuan Wu Realm attacked at the same time. Their Qi covered the sky and covered the earth. The three had been a little hesitant, but when they heard Wang Chong's voice, they increased their speed and charged at An Yaluoshan.
"Impudent! — "
A thunderous roar boomed. At first, this voice seemed to come from several dozen li away, but in the blink of an eye, it was already outside the courtyard.
Rumble!
It was like a war boot had stepped on the ground, causing the entire capital to sway and sway.
As the crowd watched, a majestic flood of golden Stellar Energy suddenly rose from An Yaluoshan's feet. This Stellar Energy was tyrannical, tyrannical, and also brimming with supreme might. It completely scattered the attacks of Li Siye, Elder Zhao, and Elder Ye.
The remaining force of the attack didn't stop there, and it even sent the three of them flying.
“！！！”
Upon seeing this sight, putting aside Wang Chong, Zhao Jingdian, and Marchioness Yi, even Li Siye, Elder Zhao, and Elder Ye were shocked.
Li Siye was an existence who had single-handedly exterminated the Dragon Bandits. Elder Zhao and Elder Ye were even more meritorious ministers of the older generation. Although they were old and their skills had deteriorated, their strength was still there. No ordinary person could deal with them.
He was the only one who could casually send the three of them flying with his own strength.
To be able to reach this level, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the three of them. But before they had time to think, rumble! A golden figure descended from the sky, appearing in the courtyard.
Seeing the golden figure, all of the Underworld Continent soldiers roared in excitement. Meanwhile, the people on Wang Chong's side were all stunned.
"Not good!"
Wang Chong's complexion suddenly turned extremely unsightly. Although he had never seen this person before, from the cheers of the Youzhou soldiers, Wang Chong had immediately guessed at this person's identity.
It was also at this moment that Wang Chong suddenly realized that he had made a massive mistake.
From the moment he had heard of An Yaluoshan's name and learned of his whereabouts, his mind had been set on killing this future calamity that would destroy the Central Plains at any cost. Before he could even mature, he would resolve all dangers.
But it was also at this moment that Wang Chong realized that he had overlooked someone.
Zhang Shougui!
The Andong Protector-General, one of the supreme Great Generals of the empire!
… …
The only people in Drunken Sparrow restaurant were An Wenzhen, An Xiaojie, and the others, so he had always believed that An Yaluoshan had come alone.
Even after arriving at this courtyard and seeing Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen, Wang Chong's thoughts had not changed. At most, he would add these Youzhou soldiers to his list of targets.
With his own strength and the Wang Clan's, he could absolutely exterminate them in the capital.
But all of this had been wishful thinking on his part.
An Yaluoshan had not come to the capital alone. As a soldier of Youzhou, An Yaluoshan did not have the courage or the ability to leave his camp and run all the way to the capital.
There was only one reason why he had appeared here:
The one who had come to the capital was not him, but the Andong Protector-General, Zhang Shougui, and he was just a follower.
As for why Zhang Shougui had appeared here …
Wang Chong recalled the memories of his last life and suddenly understood.
Zhangchou Jianqiong!
Zhang Shougui had appeared in the capital because of Zhangchou Jianqiong.
As the Annan Protector-General, Zhangchou Jianqiong had entered the court as a soldier for the first time, becoming the Minister of War, his status even above Zhang Shougui's.
This' accidental 'success had also attracted Zhang Shougui's attention.
As a fellow Protector-General and Great General, Zhang Shougui was superior to Zhangchou Jianqiong in both talent, achievements, and prestige.
If Zhangchou Jianqiong could enter the court as the Minister of War despite his military background, why couldn't he?
Zhang Shougui wants to be Prime Minister!
In a daze, Wang Chong understood something.
Zhang Shougui wanted to be Prime Minister!
Wang Chong knew this, the entire world knew it, and even the Holy Emperor knew it. Twenty years ago, Zhang Shougui had dealt a major defeat to Ouzan and had had a chance to be promoted to Prime Minister, but alas, he had run into his grandfather.
In terms of seniority, his grandfather was even more senior than Zhang Shougui, and his prestige in the army was even higher, and his contributions were even greater.
At the time, his grandfather had said to the outside world, "Zhang Shougui is still very young. He has just dealt a major defeat to Ouzan, and His Majesty has already made him Prime Minister. In the future, when he goes to Youzhou and makes even greater contributions, what will His Majesty reward him with?"
This conversation had taken place in private in the Four Quarters Courtyard, and because it concerned Zhang Shougui, an Imperial Great General and Prime Minister, outsiders had learned of it.
But Wang Chong knew that this was not the true reason.
But Zhang Shougui had also incurred a grudge against the Wang Clan.
Annan Protector-General Zhangchou Jianqiong entering the Bureau of Military Personnel had also touched Zhang Shougui. Thus, in his last life, not long after Zhangchou Jianqiong became the Minister of War, Zhang Shougui entered the capital.
This had happened in his last life, and in this life … it had clearly happened as well. And it had happened right in front of his eyes.
An Yaluoshan and these Youzhou soldiers had clearly entered the capital for this reason.
As these thoughts flitted through his mind, Wang Chong's mind instantly became clear.
But even though he understood these things, Wang Chong did not relax in the slightest. On the contrary, it only grew heavier.
Because Zhang Shougui had clearly come to stop him!
"All of you, stop! Anyone who dares to move will die! "
Zhang Shougui held his hands behind him, his voice booming through the heavens. In a flash, Zhao Yatong, Bai Siling, Xu Gan, Chen Burang, Sun Zhiming, Fang Xuanying … under the pressure of Zhang Shougui, all of them felt stifled, not daring to move.
The fierce battle suddenly fell deathly silent. Whether it was the Youzhou soldiers or the people on Wang Chong's side, no one dared to move. They were all intimidated by the awe-inspiring prestige of the Annan Protector-General.
A man's shadow, a tree's wind!
In the Central Plains, in the Tang dynasty, Zhang Shougui's reputation was second only to the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian, Wang Zhongsi. He was the cornerstone of the empire and possessed a decisive status.
And as Wang Zhongsi withdrew from the palace and gradually left the border, handing over military authority to the Big Dipper Great General Geshu Han, Zhang Shougui seemed to be on the verge of becoming the number one person in the military world.
