"It's easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away." Sikong Wu pondered for a moment and said, "There are just over a hundred Green Scorpion thieves, and they want us to hide in Qintian City and let them torture outside. It will cost our father's face! You will lead the army tomorrow Among the best, I will select thirty martial arts masters from the mansion to find the Green Scorpion Thief to decide the outcome!"
Wu Pei's face changed slightly: "Little Marquis, the protective power of the Hou Mansion is already a lot weaker. If we send martial artists out again, if the Green Scorpion thief sneaks into the city, wouldn't it threaten the safety of the Hou Mansion!"
Sikong Wu waved his hand slightly: "Even if the Green Scorpion Thieves sneak into the city, there will not be many of them. There are still many martial arts masters in the mansion, so they should be able to handle it. And if they are exposed, it will not be easy to leave Qin Tiancheng. I don't think they will fall into the trap themselves. .¡±
Wu Pei thought for a while: "In this case, it is necessary to recruit martial arts masters from the Marquis Mansion, but the young Marquis has a delicate status and must not fight those Green Scorpion thieves personally!"
"Commander Wu is right!" An old and hoarse voice came from outside the hall. It was Lei Meng who Sikong Wu asked Lu Zhu to invite.
Lei Meng thought that he had already learned the reason from Lu Zhu on the way, and he raised his hands to Sikong Wu and said: "The Marquis has just left Qin Tian City, and all the cats, dogs, snakes and rats dare to come to Qin Tian City to cause trouble. Just wait for Lei and Commander Wu to let Qing The Scorpion Bandits know how powerful our Qin Tiancheng is!"
Although Wu Pei is the commander of the city guard, he also knows that Lei has rich experience and has participated in countless battles with Sikong Ba. His war experience is definitely not comparable to his. He asked for advice in a deep voice: "I wonder what Lei's clever plan is?"
Lei Mou sneered and said: "The Green Scorpion Bandits have never been surrounded and suppressed by the Imperial Army. They only rely on the steep terrain of Scorpion Ridge. When they come to Qintian City, they can't help it. As long as the Red-Eyed Eagle is released, they can be found easily." When the time comes, please ask brother Xu Xutian of the Soul-falling Hammer to bring the black-eyed blood mastiff, golden-backed giant gorilla, six-legged mad lion and other fast and ferocious beasts raised in the house. It will not be difficult to deal with these green scorpion thieves!"
Wu Pei nodded and said: "It is what Lei Gongfeng said, but we can only mobilize about 300 manpower. Warriors below the third grade are afraid that they will not be able to deal with those ferocious Green Scorpion Thieves, which will only increase casualties and easily cause the Green Scorpion Bandits. It¡¯s better to stay in the city just in case.¡±
"We can secretly recruit some martial arts masters in the city with a lot of money. We should be able to gather thirty or dozens of them, mix them with the guards and soldiers of the Marquis Mansion, and divide them into three teams to attack the opponent. We must make these Green Scorpion thieves pay the price. Don't think that the Marquis Without us, anyone can bully our Qin Tiancheng!"
Although Sikong Wu wanted to go out and kill the enemy, he also knew that Wu Pei and Lei would never allow it. He followed Sikong Ba to find the fox demon and almost lost his life.
Although he asked himself that his strength was not inferior to that of ordinary fifth-grade martial artists, the problem was that the sacrifice of an ordinary fifth-grade martial artist meant that Wu Pei and Lei Meng would not think anything of it. If something happened to Sikong Wu, it would be completely different, let alone if he followed other When people are encircling and suppressing the Green Scorpion Bandits, they will definitely become the opponent's first target. Once they fail and are captured, it will be a total failure.
In desperation, Sikong Wu could only nod his head and said: "In that case, the encirclement and suppression of the Green Scorpion Bandits depends entirely on Commander Wu and Lei Lao. But the speed must be fast. I don't want to see anyone die innocently at the hands of the Green Scorpion Bandits." under!"
Wu Pei nodded and said: "The Green Scorpion Thieves are accustomed to moving at night. Let's split up and we should be ready before sunset. We can find out where the Green Scorpion Thieves are hiding and kill them by surprise at night!"
The three of them immediately discussed various arrangements, and then Lei Meng and Wu Pei went out to make preparations. Sikong Wu did not waste any time, and immediately asked Han Yun to call all the guards with second-level martial arts training in the mansion, including Han Yun. Thirty-seven people.
There used to be hundreds of second-grade martial arts guards in the Hou Mansion, but when Sikong Ba takes office this time, he will definitely be under great pressure and will have to bring most of the guards with him.
These guards are all attached to the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and most of their family members live in Qintian City. Naturally, they are loyal to Sikong Ba and are the combat power that Sikong Ba can most rely on.
There are more than a hundred Green Scorpion thieves. Although it is impossible that all of them are second-level martial arts masters, they have grown up in killing for a long time. More than thirty martial arts masters were no match for them, so Lei Meng proposed to recruit martial arts masters from the city to help.
What Qin Tiancheng wants is not a tragic victory. If it cannot deal a heavy blow to the Green Scorpion Bandits, it will definitely attract more bandits in the future. This place on the border of the empire is by no means a peaceful place.
In addition, more than 30 ferocious beasts raised in the Hou Mansion were also led by Xu Xutian and three guards who helped tame the ferocious beasts. After starving for a day, they were waiting to be released at night and join the army to massacre the Green Scorpion Thieves.
In addition to being good at tracking, the twenty-odd black-eyed blood mastiffs are not much worse than third-level warriors. The three golden-backed giant apes have amazing strength and can easily tear apart with their sharp claws.The fighting power of the fifth-grade monsters is definitely not inferior to that of the sixth-grade martial artist. There are also two six-legged mad lions, which are one of the most powerful ferocious beasts raised by the Wuwei Marquis. When they become violent, even the sixth-grade peak martial artist like Han Yun can't You have to retreat three feet!
In addition to these three ferocious beasts, the ten-headed red-eyed eagle has been driven out to investigate the whereabouts of the green scorpion thief.
Some other ferocious beasts, such as the sharp-clawed silver fox and the white-haired bear demon, had to stay in the Hou Mansion just in case. It was impossible to deal with a Green Scorpion Thief, so all the strength of the Hou Mansion was sent out.
The soldiers and horses were all ready to go at any time. Sikong Wu had no intention of practicing. He didn't have a grain of rice in his stomach for most of the day. Zhun Bian went to eat something casually and then returned to Wuwei Hall to wait for news about Wu Pei and Lei Meng.
Lu Zhu was Sikong Wu's personal maid. She prepared meals for Sikong Wu and then stood aside with her hands down. Seeing Lu Zhu's face turning pale and hesitating to speak, Si Kong Wu couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Lu Zhu. Green Scorpion Thief" There are only about a hundred people, and it is understood that most of them are warriors, with less than one-third being martial arts masters. We have prepared hundreds of elite soldiers and dozens of martial arts masters, and we can definitely drive them out of the fiefdom easily."
Luzhu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked around. Sikong Wu liked to be quiet when eating, and there were no guards nearby. Finally he mustered up the courage, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "Master, I have something to do. I don't know what to do." Shouldn¡¯t have said it.¡±
When Sikong Wu saw Lu Zhu being so careful, he was a little startled, nodded and said, "Just tell me. I won't blame you."
Lu Zhu lowered her head and did not dare to look at Sikong Wu: "I went out to visit my parents a few days ago and accidentally discovered that the fifth lady met a man. I wanted to go over and say hello to the fifth lady, but I was afraid of being scolded by the fifth lady"
Sikong Wu smiled: "What are you afraid of? Didn't I allow you to enter and exit the Marquis's residence freely? It's also right to go back to visit your parents."
He pondered for a moment and then continued: "Fifth Yiniang also has relatives outside. Maybe she is meeting her relatives. Don't tell her outside."
?? Luzhu murmured, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Master, I saw the man who met the Fifth Madam, and there was a green scorpion on the left side of his face."
Sikongwu narrowed his eyes, gently put down his chopsticks, his eyes fell on Luzhu, and said in a deep voice: "Can you see clearly? Do you remember that person's appearance?"
Luzhu nodded slightly, with a somewhat uneasy look on his face, but said in a very sure voice, "I can't see you wrong. There is a scar at the corner of the man's eye, where he cut the green scorpion's body open. I recognize his look."
Sikong Wu snorted coldly: "No wonder these Green Scorpion thieves came as soon as my father left Qin Tian City!"
His voice suddenly became louder: "Come here, go and call Lei Chongfeng back to the Hou Mansion!"
When Lei Meng came back, after listening to Lu Zhu's description, he was already sure that the man was Double-tailed Scorpion, the head of the Green Scorpion Bandits. He had been here for decades, and most of the nearby masters knew about it, especially someone with such a vicious name as Double-tailed Scorpion. The notorious horse bandit!
¡°Furthermore, Lei Meng knew more about the Fifth Madam than Lu Zhu or even Sikong Wu. He lowered his voice solemnly and said, ¡°The Fifth Madam was originally from the area near Scorpion Ridge¡¡±
Wu Pei is very familiar with the situation in the fiefdom. There are only a few places where people can hide. However, the nearby Mangshan and Dongshan Mountains are mostly caves and dense forests. It will not be a problem to hide 18,000 people, let alone 180 people. , which is only tens of miles away from Qin Tian City, the Green Scorpion Bandits are likely to be hiding there, and unexpectedly attack the villages in the fiefdom of Wuwei Hou Mansion at night.
The Red-Eyed Eagle could not find the whereabouts of the Green Scorpion Thief in the fiefdom. Wu Pei had already judged that the Green Scorpion Thief should be hiding on Dongshan or Mangshan Mountain, so he sent soldiers disguised as ordinary subjects to monitor everyone from Dongshan and Mangshan to the fiefdom. The red-eyed eagle hovers over the main road, monitoring the whereabouts of the green scorpion thief at any time.
Sure enough, at midnight, two red-eyed eagles flew straight into the Hou Mansion and the city guard camp respectively. Then, Xu Xutian rode on the six-legged mad lion and quickly left the Qin Dynasty with dozens of warriors and ferocious beasts. Tiancheng.
Not long after Xu Xutian and the others left the Hou Mansion, they saw a black shadow flying straight away from the east wing and disappearing into the darkness.
At Yinshi, a dark figure dodged the hidden stakes of the guards of the Hou Mansion, turned over and climbed over the three-foot-high outer wall of the Hou Mansion, and arrived at the east chamber of Wuwei Hou Mansion. It let out a wild cat whine, and the door of the fifth lady's bedroom in the east chamber was cracked. After a breath, the black shadow instantly got in.
Few people know that the fifth lady, Xie Qianliu, is a fifth-grade hidden spirit martial artist who has fused with the sixth-grade soul beast Phoenix Tail Bird. It was late at night, but she was dressed in a dark warrior uniform, holding a long sword in one hand and a black bag in the other. When he saw the black shadow coming in, he said urgently: "Cheng Han, let's get out of here quickly."
The shadow dropped the black mask and said with a sneer: "Leave? Sikong Ba took away my lover and killed my brother. This hatred is irresistible. I finally waited for him to leave."Tiancheng took away most of the elites. This time I sent all my brothers to come, and I will definitely kill him and leave him alone. It would be so easy to leave! "
Xie Qianliu¡¯s expression changed, she shook her head and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me? Absolutely not!¡±
Heiying's eyes sharpened and he said in a deep voice, "You can't bear to let go of that old thief Sikong Ba?"
"Sikong Ba forcibly snatched me into Qin Tian City. I will have no feelings for him! And that Sikong Wu is arrogant and surly. I even want to kill him with a sword." Xie Qianliu's voice was full of hatred, "But, Sikong Wu, this puppy, is the only son of Sikong Ba. Once he finds out that he was killed by us, he will definitely use all his strength to retaliate against us. How can we escape from his murderous hands! I would rather stay here for the rest of my life than put you in danger! "
"I see, Qianmei, I misunderstood you. But don't worry, the Blue Moon Empire sent people to recruit me secretly. They will soon cooperate with the Bear Wing Empire in the north to launch an offensive at the same time. They will take advantage of the Qingtian Empire's weakness to attack Qingtian Empire. Emperor Tian gnawed off two pieces of meat from his body. When the time comes, I will unite with dozens of nearby bandits to start a joint uprising. We will cooperate internally and externally to kill Emperor Qingtian and catch him off guard. In the future, we will be crowned marquis and prime minister in the Blue Moon Empire, so there is no need to worry about this. Sikong Ba!¡±
The black shadow's eyes fell on Xie Qianliu like a torch, and he said: "They only said that my Green Scorpion stole hundreds of people, but they knew that the real elite Green Scorpion thieves had already dispersed and infiltrated into Qin Tian City, and there were also dozens of Blue Moon Empire soldiers. The martial arts master is helping us. We are outside the Marquis Mansion now. As long as I give the order, we will attack Wuwei Marquis Mansion immediately. That old guy Lei Meng is not here, how can the remaining chickens and dogs be the opponents of our Green Scorpion Bandits!"
Xie Qianliu hesitated: "Actually, there are many people in the house who are nice to me Cheng Han, can you let them go?"
Heiying snorted coldly: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. They are all Sikong Ba's people. If we let them go, it might be their turn to kill us in the future!"
Zhou Chenghan, the twin-tailed scorpion, didn't hesitate before Xie Qianliu. He pulled her out of the room with one hand, took out a quiver from his arms, and with a little enthusiasm, the quiver flew straight into the sky, and then quietly flashed a ball of fire!
What the two of them didn't expect was that as the rocket took off, Zhou Chenghan's expression changed. He already felt three extremely sharp energies coming towards him. In shock, he hurriedly dodged to the left and made a few bangs. With a muffled sound, the wing room behind Zhou Chenghan was smashed to pieces, and a buzzing vibration could be heard, which showed the ferocity of the thing that attacked Zhou Chenghan!
Before Zhou Chenghan could stand still, a withered palm silently pressed on his waist in the darkness.
Zhou Chenghan only felt an extremely violent soul force burst out from his waist. His whole body was hit by the withered palm and flew out, hitting the wooden pillars of the corridor with a bang!
"Thunder Palm! You are the Thunderbolt Grenade Meng!" Zhou Chenghan said with gritted teeth as a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!
In an instant, his soul power surged, and an eight-foot-long green scorpion silhouette suddenly appeared outside him. Two scorpion tails that were as black as steel whips suddenly stretched out from his slightly bent back, and on his face Scorpion markings also appeared, and a pair of arms turned into black and shiny scorpion pincers. It was a terrifying scorpion spirit!
Zhou Chenghan used his soul power, summoned the two-tailed scorpion soul beast, and put on the scorpion armor condensed by his soul power. It glowed faintly with a blue-black light, reflecting Lei Meng's old and withered face.
Although because of the hidden aura, the thunderous palm strike against Zhou Chenghan did not use all the soul power, and Zhou Chenghan suffered serious hidden injuries. The nickname of Thunder Hand was not earned for nothing.
There were faint sounds of shouting and fighting outside the Hou Mansion. The east chamber was suddenly brightly lit. Three extremely thick armor-piercing cloud-piercing crossbow arrows were stuck on the floor of the chamber. In the distance, there were many dark arrow clusters pointing at Zhou Chenghan. There were faint lights all around. There was a roaring beast, and it was obvious that the people from Wuweihou Mansion had already laid a trap and were waiting for the two-tailed scorpion to come.
Xie Qianliu suddenly became frightened, her face turned pale in an instant, and she was next to Zhou Chenghan in a flash, and asked urgently: "Chenghan, are you okay? Please leave quickly!"
Zhou Chenghan clearly heard the rattling sound of the Cloud Chuan Divine Crossbow being cocked, but he did not break out in a hurry. He slightly waved his left hand that turned into a poison pincer, and said sadly: "How can I leave Wuwei Marquis so easily with the sophistication of Ben Lei Shou?" Fu, am I right? Lei Meng!"
"I have abandoned you once and regretted it for ten years. Even if I die this time, I will die with you!" Zhou Chenghan's expression suddenly became crazy.
Facing the seventh-grade Martial Emperor who revealed the shadow of the soul beast, Lei Meng did not dare to be careless. A colorful giant leopard vaguely appeared outside him, and his palms turned into thick leopard palms. He looked at Zhou Chenghan coldly for a while. , and then sighed: "Fifth Madam, if you are willing to surrender without mercy, Lei can spare your life and wait for the Marquis to come back before making a decision!"
Xie Qianliu raised her sword horizontally, and spots like a phoenix-tailed bird appeared on her face.He looked at the color and said with a sad smile: "Lei Gongfeng thinks Sikong Ba will let me live?"
Lei Meng fell silent. He knew that with Sikong Ba¡¯s temper, Zhou Chenghan and Xie Qianliu would only die.
??
Lei Meng breathed out slightly. Zhou Chenghan was healing his wounds secretly. He was also waiting for the Cloud-Chuang Divine Crossbow to be reloaded and the martial arts masters who were fighting against the Green Scorpion Bandits to come back. He was not in a hurry to take action and said calmly: "The Skynet is in full swing, Fifth Madam. Maybe I didn¡¯t expect that when I met the twin-tailed scorpion Zhou Chenghan a few days ago, someone from the Hou Mansion would see him!¡±
"Yes, Brother Xu Xutian left with the guards of the Hou Mansion, but Commander Wu Pei secretly came to the Hou Mansion with the elite of the army, and even brought the Cloud-piercing Divine Crossbow, waiting for the Double-tailed Scorpion to come."
His eyes turned and fell on Zhou Chenghan: "You underestimate our Wuwei Hou Mansion too much. Those Green Scorpion thieves who were used as temptations have probably retreated. Now Xu Xutian is coming back with the elites of the Hou Mansion. Even if you have wings, it will be difficult for you to leave Qin Tian City!"
Xie Qianliu sighed: "I don't know if Sikong Wuhe is here, but I have a few words to say to him."
Lei Meng waved his palms slightly: "If you have anything to say, just tell Lei. I promise to tell Master Wu truthfully."
Zhou Chenghan looked at Lei Meng with a gloomy face: "Lei Meng is also a well-known martial emperor. That Sikong Ba is cruel and ruthless and treats the people of the fief as pigs and dogs. Why should Lei Meng be so stubborn and determined to follow Sikong Ba? Why not fight with Zhou?" Together, we can create a great foundation, which is worse than relying on others!"
Lei Meng smiled coldly: "Have you finished speaking? After finishing speaking, Lei will invite you two to go on the road!"
Having followed Sikong Ba on the battlefield for many years, Lei Meng has somewhat acquired Sikong Ba¡¯s decisive and decisive character. Previously, he was nagging Zhou Chenghan and Xie Qianliu, but he was just waiting for the Cloud-piercing Divine Crossbow to be strung up again.
The Cloud-Piercing Divine Crossbow was huge and cumbersome, and difficult to place. Because they were afraid of attracting Xie Qianliu's attention, they only secretly transported three of them. Otherwise, dozens of Cloud-Piercing Divine Crossbows would launch an attack at the same time. Even if Zhou Chenghan was extremely capable, he wouldn't be able to evade it. Lei Meng needs to hide aside to launch the attack!
With Lei Meng waving his hand slightly, dozens of strong bows shot towards Zhou Chenghan and Xie Qianliu at the same time.
The sharp swords shot by the martial arts masters are all attached to the soul power, which is not easy to deal with. Zhou Chenghan knows that Xie Qianliu is a fifth-grade martial arts master and has neglected to practice, so it is impossible to cope with this wave of arrows.
He had already embraced death. With a boost of soul power, he stood in front of Xie Qianliu in a flash. The two ten-foot-long scorpion tails behind him suddenly swung, creating layers of whip shadows in the swaying firelight. It made a sonorous sound like gold and iron clashing together, and instantly swept down dozens of sharp arrows. He let out a weird scream, opened his claws, and rushed towards Lei Meng at an incredibly fast speed!
Three cloud-piercing divine crossbows were ready to go. Two white-haired giant bears with a height of one foot and dozens of soldiers shining with soul power came from all around to kill them. They certainly didn¡¯t give Zhou Chenghan and Lei Meng a chance to fight alone!
Although Zhou Chenghan defended Xie Qianliu from the sharp arrows, two arrows hit her shoulder and thigh. This was because the sergeant did not dare to kill Xie Qianliu. Otherwise, with the strength of Xie Qianliu, a fifth-grade martial artist, she would face dozens of If a martial artist whose strength is not inferior to her attacks, he will be shot into a hedgehog on the spot.
Even Zhou Chenghan was hit by as many as five or six arrows, leaving many wounds even with the scorpion armor protecting him.
Lei Meng did not fight against Zhou Chenghan. He was older and less energetic than Zhou Chenghan. Facing Zhou Chenghan's desperate attack, even if he could win, it would be a miserable defeat. Therefore, he made a slight movement and moved three feet away as nimbly as a leopard. What appeared in front of Zhou Chenghan were two gigantic white-haired bear monsters with fishy smells coming out of their mouths and fierce gleams in their eyes!
The two sixth-grade white-haired bear monsters had thick fleshy shawls and raised bear paws like cattail leaf fans. The scimitar-like claws on them were clearly visible. They were not afraid of Zhou Chenghan's seventh-grade Martial Emperor's aura and fiercely aimed at the scorpion phantom outside Zhou Chenghan's body. When the shadow slaps continue, its power is much more powerful than the bear-shaped boxing technique used by Sikong Wu!
