Meng Shanming's angry look startled Shang Shuqing. In her memory, Uncle Meng had always been calm. She had never seen him like this before. She rushed over and shouted, "Uncle Meng."
Lan Ruoting turned around and saw that it was her. She revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. Everything happened so suddenly that she didn't have the time to care. She was worried that something might have happened to this princess. Seeing that she was still alive, she couldn't help but let go of her worries.
Shang Chaozong also turned around. Seeing that his sister was still alive, he didn't say anything. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. He didn't have time to talk to his sister. He quickly ran to the side to help his men block the door and windows.
"Little girl, go to hell!" Meng Shanming glanced at Shang Shuqing, then quickly crawled on the ground with his hands. His old arms still had a lot of strength, but his crippled legs looked a bit cumbersome.
He quickly crawled to the weapon rack at the side and picked up a long spear in his hand.
Shang Shuqing's eyes turned red and tears fell down. A famous general was reduced to crawling on the ground. She hurried to help him and said, "Uncle Meng, leave it to us. You can have a rest."
Meng Shanming saw the arrow stuck in her back. He pulled her arm closer to check. Seeing that the arrow was not fatal, he pressed the spear on the back of Shang Shuqing's neck. Shang Shuqing had to lower his head.
Clang! Meng Shanming took out a sword from the weapon rack and slashed across Shang Shuqing's back. The arrow stuck in Shang Shuqing's shoulder blade was almost cut in half.
The arrow was very deep. Meng Shanming couldn't pull it out without treatment. He could only deal with it like this. Meng Shanming was experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. He knew how to deal with it.
Shang Shuqing was in so much pain that her face was twisted. However, Meng Shanming was fast. The pain came and went quickly. She didn't feel it for long before it was gone. Only waves of pain remained.
The spear on her neck was released. When she looked up, Meng Shanming had already handed her the sword in his hand. "Don't bring shame to your father's name. If anything happens, don't fall into the hands of the enemy and be humiliated!"
With the sword in hand, Shang Shuqing understood what he meant. This sword could be used to defend against enemies, but it could also be used to kill oneself at crucial moments. For the other party to say such words at this time, it was clear that he did not have any hope for the result.
Shang Shuqing: "Uncle Meng, don't worry. Daoye will definitely think of a way to save us."
Meng Shanming glanced at her coldly. Why was she still talking about Daoye at this moment? However, he didn't say anything. It was not the time to talk about this. He quickly crawled away with his palms on the ground. He crawled to a window full of things and waited there with his gun.
Shang Shuqing also ran over with his sword and stood guard on the other side of the window.
"Prince!" Meng Shanming shouted and gestured to Shang Chaozong and the others.
Shang Chaozong immediately ran to the weapon rack and took out a Zhanmadao. Then he ran back to the other window and stood guard.
Lan Ruoting took out a sword and hung it on her waist. She also took out a long spear and stood guard at the side of the Shang Dynasty.
The five guards also ran to the weapon rack and took out a long spear. One of them guarded the front door with a spear, and the other four went to the back hall.
Outside the house, axemen came in and started to hack at the door. Some of them even started to hack at the wall.
In this situation, the defense line in the house would not last long. It would be broken soon.
Boom! A hole appeared in the wall, and a young general rushed in.
Meng Shanming, who was guarding the window, looked back and threw the spear in his hand.
Bang! The soldier was hit in the face and blood burst out. He fell backward and hit the person who rushed in. The moment the latter was stunned, Meng Shanming pulled back his spear and stabbed it. The tip of the spear pierced through the soldier's ribs and into his lungs. "Ah!" The soldier screamed.
…
Under the scorching sun, Niu Youdao sat cross-legged in the shade of an old tree on the cliff.
A dress fluttered down to the top of the cliff. Guan Fangyi came to his side and said, "The Waning Moon Pavilion has replied."
Niu Youdao's hands slowly rose and fell as he slowly asked, "Why did it take so long for news to arrive?"
Guan Fangyi said, "When the Waning Moon Pavilion received your message, they immediately contacted the people in Changping City. They have confirmed it with the people in that area. They said it is a little troublesome."
Niu Youdao said, "Do they want to bargain with me?"
Guan Fangyi said, "The reason they gave wasn't all about bargaining. The Waning Moon Pavilion said that Changping City is currently under the control of a large number of cultivators from the Heavenly Jade School. It can be said that the entire city is under the control of the Heavenly Jade School and the garrison. It can be said that they've filtered the entire city and chased all irrelevant cultivators out."
"The Waning Moon Pavilion said that they did have people in Changping City, but they knew that this situation was inevitable. It is normal for those who attack a city to be careful before the situation is stable. So, they evacuated in advance without waiting for the screening. Now there is no one in Changping City. After receiving your request, they also sent people to have a look. They found that the defense is very tight and there is no way to enter the city. "
Niu Youdao said, "That is an excuse. They have many birds and can sneak in at night."
Guan Fangyi said, "It is not impossible to send people to Changping City, but there are too many cultivators from the Heavenly Jade School in the city. Even if they come in from nowhere, they will be easily discovered. It is very easy to have a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Jade School. The Waning Moon Pavilion will have to bear a huge risk. This is not just a small favor. They asked what benefits you can give them."
Niu Youdao opened his eyes and stood up with a serious expression. He realized that he knew too little about the rules of this world. For example, the Waning Moon Pavilion said that the attackers would screen Changping City.
It was not only this that made him serious.
He sent Second Brother Wu to Changping City with a group of experts from Fufang Garden, but they could not enter the city.
Then he ordered the people of the three sects to go to Changping City. He did not have much hope for the three sects.
Now the Waning Moon Pavilion also said that it was difficult to enter the city.
From his point of view as a cultivator, he did not expect that entering a city would be so difficult. Only now did he realize that Changping City had become a loophole in his plan. What if Feng Lingbo was really desperate?
Although he did not think that Feng Lingbo could succeed under the control of the Heavenly Jade School, Changping City had become the most uncontrollable weak link in his plan, which made him more worried.
He was not an immortal who could predict the future. He did not expect that the center of the army, which had been moving, would be stationed in Changping City. He did not have time to make preparations in Changping City. Some unexpected changes were unpredictable.
It was not possible to have everything under control. It was normal to have changes in the details, as long as the general direction was under control. Therefore, he did not pay much attention to these changes in the beginning. Now that so many cultivators had failed to enter the city, his heart was heavy. He deeply understood what it meant by the saying that even a wise man would make a mistake.
"How should we reply to the Waning Moon Pavilion?" Guan Fangyi asked.
Niu Youdao said, "We will make arrangements after the Waning Moon Pavilion receives the news. Peng Youzai has already returned to Changping City. Do you think there is a need to reply?"
Guan Fangyi said, "Don't you think your worries are a little unnecessary? You have already exerted so much pressure on the Heavenly Jade School. This pressure is related to the interests of the entire Heavenly Jade School. They will not let anything happen to Shang Chaozong, otherwise they will not be able to bear the consequences. There are so many disciples of the Heavenly Jade School in Changping City. Even if Feng Lingbo wanted to make a move, she would not have the chance. The people of the Heavenly Jade School are not just for show."
Slowly, Niu Youdao said, "I hope so!"
To be honest, he could not think of any opportunity for Feng Lingbo to make a move. However, he felt the existence of a loophole, and his heart was still uneasy. This feeling made him very uncomfortable …
At the entrance of the alley, there were two soldiers standing guard. There were another three soldiers behind them, idling about. It was a checkpoint set up to search the people entering and leaving the area.
Yuan Gang came in with a log on his shoulder and walked towards the two soldiers guarding the door.
"What are you doing? Do you live inside?"
The two soldiers blocked him with their spears. The three people behind them also walked over slowly. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, shouted, and at the same time, waved his hand. "Search!"
Suddenly, someone outside the alley coughed.
This was the signal sent by the observers outside. It was a signal that they could make a move. It meant that no one would pass through this alley for the time being, and no one would see them.
Yuan Gang swung the log over his shoulder into the crook of his arm. With a sudden push, it hit the chests of the two soldiers in front of him, causing them to spit out blood and fly backwards.
Yuan Gang raised his leg and kicked the log that he had pushed out. The log flew out.
With a few thuds, the three people behind him fell to the ground before they could even call the police.
Yuan Feng, who was outside the alley, heard the commotion and stuck his head in to take a look. He made a gesture with his hand and turned in.
Soon after, more people quickly turned in.
Yuan Gang, who had picked up the log, carried it and ran. A group of people followed closely behind him in the alley.
The people running behind quickly dragged the fallen soldiers away. When they dragged them to the door of an abandoned house, they directly threw them inside.
The group of people took out things from their bags as they ran. As they ran, they quickly assembled the Nine Consecutive Wrath Swords and tied the belts with daggers to their waists, arms, and thighs.
Running to the designated place, Yuan Gang clamped the log in his arm. The log burst, and the Three Howling Swords fell into his hand.
The group of people had already climbed over the wall. Yuan Gang was the last one to cross the wall.
The group of people ran directly into someone else's house, and immediately caused a commotion in the house owner's house.
"Garrison troops, catch the thief. Shut up!"
With just one sentence, the head of the household's family shut their mouths in fear.
The house owner's family found that the group of people came and went quickly. They climbed over the wall here and quickly left from the other side.
The group of people kept climbing over the wall to enter the house, or directly broke in from the front door and the back door.
As soon as they opened the door or climbed over the wall, they saw the patrolling soldiers outside. Immediately, the sound of crossbows whooshed out, hitting the vital parts of the soldiers. The group of people passing by threw the corpses into the next house.
