    Chapter 20, Ambush and Kill the Martial Emperor

    Although the sixth-grade white-haired bear demon is powerful, it is impossible for Zhou Chenghan, who is in the Martial Emperor realm, to be frightened. The gap between sixth-grade and seventh-grade is very huge, but Zhou Chenghan cannot ignore the offensive of the white-haired bear demon and the running thunder behind them.  Grenade Meng is the person Zhou Chenghan is really afraid of.

    Both of them were seventh-level Martial Emperors. Zhou Chenghan managed to lure Lei Meng out of the Hou Mansion, and he knew that he was afraid of Lei Meng. There was a little bit of trouble in having such a terrifyingly experienced seventh-level Martial Emperor who was in the manifest realm.  Lei Meng could definitely seize any flaw in the battle. Even if Zhou Chenghan became the eighth-grade Martial Emperor, he would not dare to be careless, not to mention that he had already received a palm attack from Lei Meng secretly and had suffered some internal injuries.

    In addition, the already cocked Cloud-piercing Divine Crossbow can also deliver a fatal blow to Zhou Chenghan!

    I saw Zhou Chenghan raised his arms, and his two giant claws suddenly opened. The sharp thorns on the inside emitted a deep cold light, and they fell fiercely towards the palm of the white-haired bear demon. The whole person was like a huge scorpion, with a scorpion tail.  With a sway, he shot out from behind and went straight for the Tianling Cap of the white-haired bear demon on the left. The other scorpion tail was raised high, and the poisonous hook swayed slightly, guarding against Lei Meng's attack at any time.

    The seemingly fierce attack of the white-furred bear demon was easily broken by Zhou Chenghan. The white-furred bear demon on the left could not dodge, and Zhou Chenghan's tail hook cut a finger-long scar on his shoulder and neck. The extremely tough fur could not stop it.  Zhou Chenghan's poison hook lightly scratched, and the wound instantly flowed out with dark blood. In just a moment, the huge body of the white-haired bear demon suddenly twitched and fell to the ground with a bang!

    However, Zhou Chenghan knew that seeing how easily he had defeated this sixth-grade bear demon, one blow had actually removed one-third of the venom stored in the scorpion tail's poisonous hook. Most of his seventh-grade Martial Emperor's magical powers were in these two areas.  Above the scorpion tail, it can be said that the strength has been reduced by at least 10%.

    As soon as the white-haired bear demon fell down, two giant black mastiffs the size of calves rushed over. This was a variant of the black-eyed blood mastiff. The sharp claws and fangs contained astonishing toxins. It was a fifth-grade monster, although the grade was not as good as  The white-furred bear demon was indeed much faster than the bear demon. Under the cover of the other white-furred bear demon, it posed a lot of threats to Zhou Chenghan.

    If this continues, even if Lei Meng doesn't take action, Zhou Chenghan will probably be killed by the Wuwei Hou Mansion's warriors and ferocious beasts in a wheel battle. Now the Hou Mansion is not full of elites as Zhou Chenghan imagined. Instead, it has gathered more than half of Qin Tiancheng's elites. Zhou Chenghan has a scorpion head.  Turning around, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xie Qianliu was entangled by two martial arts masters from the Hou Mansion. The two martial arts masters were obviously stronger than Xie Qianliu. However, they were worried about Xie Qianliu's identity and did not dare to kill him. They wanted to capture Xie Qianliu alive so that Xie Qianliu could support him until now.

    Although Zhou Chenghan said something harsh, he would not be willing to die in the Wuwei Hou Mansion. At this age, he has cultivated the martial arts. Even if he is not as outrageous as Tang Qingluan, he is still a rare genius in a century. Otherwise, the Blue Moon Empire would not secretly win over this bandit leader.  In addition to valuing his power, he was also attracted by Zhou Chenghan's potential. Maybe Zhou Chenghan would become a martial saint in the future and contribute to the promotion of the Blue Moon Empire to the third level.

    He was thinking secretly, his eyes suddenly glowed with a strong red light, and his soul power suddenly burst out. A strong wind suddenly rolled up around him, and two scorpion tails danced wildly, and even sprayed out a black poisonous mist.

    Everyone present knew how powerful Zhou Chenghan's poison was. They knew how powerful it was when the sixth-grade bear demon was poisoned to death in an instant. The five or six ferocious beasts that besieged him hurriedly retreated three feet away.

    Lei Meng asked about the foul smell of the black mist, and his head couldn't help but feel dizzy, and he was secretly shocked: "Zhou Chenghan is really powerful this week. If he hadn't been prepared to lure him into an ambush, and he escaped, it would be a big trouble!"

    Although a three-foot radius was shrouded in black mist, and all the flowers and plants within the area withered, Lei Meng did not exit the black mist range. Zhou Chenghan forced out this toxin that could hurt even the Emperor Wu, and he must be preparing to escape. Combat experience  How could the extremely rich Lei Meng give him this opportunity? With a wave of his wrist, dozens of sharp arrows shot towards the phantom of the scorpion in the black mist!

    The sound of clanging iron and stone could be heard constantly. The black soul power outside Zhou Chenghan's body began to spin rapidly, causing the incoming sharp arrows to fly backwards. Several muffled groans suddenly sounded from all around. Surprisingly, there were martial arts masters from the Hou Mansion.  Injured by the rebounding arrow!

    Lei Meng secretly shouted: "What a move to return the light shield. It is said that Zhou Chenghan has two major soul beast skills, one is the soul-destroying scorpion tail, and the other is this light shield. It is really powerful!"

    Dozens of sharp arrows were bounced back by Zhou Chenghan. Under the cover of the poisonous mist, Zhou Chenghan curled his scorpion tail, wrapped around Xie Liuqian's waist, kicked hard with the six transformed scorpion legs, and his huge body roared up towards the roof.  Watt flew away.

    At this moment, the three cloud-piercing divine crossbows that were already ready to go made a muffled sound, and the three thick cloud-piercing crossbow arrows, three feet long, drew three black shadows in the firelight, and the lightning flashedHe shot the huge scorpion shadow in the void!

    The power of the Cloud-Piercing Divine Crossbow is astonishing. It can easily shoot five hundred meters away. This shows how terrifying the short-distance speed is. The martial arts masters in the Hou Mansion only heard the muffled sound and saw the Cloud-Piercing Divine Crossbow hitting the phantom of a scorpion in mid-air.  above.

    Although Zhou Chenghan reacted extremely quickly and turned around quickly, narrowly dodging three Cloud-Piercing Divine Crossbows, the scorpion shadow transformed by the soul power outside his body could not be avoided no matter what. Under the terrifying blow of the Cloud-Piercing Divine Crossbow,  Zhou Chenghan's soul power suddenly decreased sharply, his shadow dispersed, and the scorpion tail that originally entangled Xie Liuqian also disappeared.

    Seeing Xie Liuqian falling, Zhou Chenghan hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xie Liuqian's wrist. At this moment, a black shadow burst out from the ground, and a leopard claw that emitted sizzling light with extremely fierce and majestic momentum struck fiercely.  He slapped Zhou Chenghan on the shoulder blade!

    Zhou Chenghan, who had lost his soul power to protect his body, could still withstand the thunder blow of Lei Meng's famous trick, Thunder Palm. He let out a scream, with the sound of broken bones, and flew out, hitting five people in succession.  Six walls, and finally knocked down a three-foot-tall rockery before stopping!

    Zhou Chenghan's face was as purple as gold, and he kept coughing up red and white blood foam from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that his internal organs had been destroyed by Lei Meng's move. He looked at Lei Meng who was slowly approaching with a sad smile, but his right hand held Xie Liuqian and refused.  release.

    Xie Liuqian also had a miserable look on her face and hugged Zhou Chenghan tightly without asking for mercy. No one knew Lei Meng's character better than her. Unless Wu Wei was here or Sikong Wu spoke, Zhou Chenghan would definitely not be able to escape.  One life.

    Sure enough, Lei Meng didn't even look at Xie Liuqian, the fifth lady. Suddenly, a foot-long sharp claw popped out from his right palm. With a stroke in the void, he saw blood splashing from Zhou Chenghan's throat. Lei Meng had already cut off the throat and neck arteries.  .

    After dealing with Zhou Chenghan, the seventh-grade Martial Emperor, Lei Meng sighed secretly and turned his gaze to Xie Liuqian. He tapped his leopard paw a few times to seal Xie Liuqian's soul power.

    Although Sikong Wu did not participate in the battle, he had been secretly watching the battle not far away. When the dust settled, Sikong Wu walked out of the darkness. He looked at Xie Liuqian with complicated eyes for a long time, and saw Xie Liuqian hugging her with a deathly expression.  Looking at Zhou Chenghan's body and refusing to let go, he suddenly sighed, grabbed a long sword from the guard next to him, and pierced Xie Liuqian's back with a swipe!

    Although the world is not too taboo about these affairs between men and women, and no one dares to gossip about Marquis Wuwei, the fact that the fifth wife of the Marquis had an affair with the Xieziling thief spread out, which ultimately affected Marquis Wuwei's reputation.  No, Sikong Wu turned around and looked around, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is strictly prohibited from spreading to outsiders, otherwise don't blame me for being disrespectful!"

    "Hang Zhou Chenghan's body outside Qin Tian City to let the bandits know that even if Marquis Wuwei is not here, Qin Tian City is not theirs to come to if they want! Kill all the Green Scorpion thieves who were alive when they invaded the Marquis Mansion!"

    Seeing Sikong Wu kill Xie Liuqian in cold blood, everyone truly realized that from today on, Sikong Wu is the master of Qin Tiancheng.

    During this time of chaos in the Hou Mansion, more than a hundred Green Scorpion thieves attacked. Although Sikong Wu and others took precautions, dozens of people lost their lives and many others were injured.  Sikong Wu was not stingy. He could not make his men work wholeheartedly with a big stick. With a wave of his hand, the families of the soldiers killed in the battle received a pension of five thousand taels, and their families were exempted from taxes for ten years. The injured soldiers and warriors,  Each person was rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. In addition, the soldiers and warriors who participated in the battle also received considerable rewards. In total, nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver were spent.

    Of course, the money that should be spent cannot be spared. At least Sikong Wu, the young prince, has been recognized by the guards of the marquis and the city guards with a wave of his hand. In this world, power is everything, and more guards would rather follow the iron-blooded ones.  A cruel master would not follow a weak and kind-hearted master.

    A capable master will bring honor, status and wealth to his subordinates. A weak master will only end up being annexed by others. Naturally, the fate of his servants will not be so good.

    The corpse of the seventh-grade Martial Emperor was hanging outside the gate of Qintian City, with more than a dozen corpse crows hovering above it. It was really shocking, and it poured cold water on many bandits who were ready to enter Qintian City to fight against the autumn wind.  Sikong Wu could practice with peace of mind for a while.

    From the conversation between Zhou Chenghan and Xie Liuqian, it can be seen that the Blue Moon Empire is eyeing the Qingtian Empire and may send troops to invade the Qingtian Empire at any time. Although Qintian City is hundreds of miles away from the border between the two countries, it is considered to be on the front line. Once there is a war,  If it is raised, the war is likely to spread to the vicinity of Qin Tian City. Sikong Wu does not dare to be careless. On the one hand, he sends people to inform Hou Wu Wei of the news. At the same time, he recruits farmers to build and strengthen the city wall, hoards food, and recruits new people to join the city guard army. Even if he encounters Lan Yue  The army of the empire, also?Rely on the city wall to defend.

    Of course, if they encounter the Blue Moon Empire's army, the small Qin Tian City will definitely not be able to withstand it. However, the terrain here is dangerous, with Dongshan Mountain blocking it in the east and Mang Mountain relying on it in the north, which is not conducive to marching. It is impossible for the Blue Moon Empire to delay the opportunity to fight.  They sent a large army across the Mang Mountains to besiege the small Qin Tian City. Even if the Blue Moon Empire's army did attack, it would probably be a small army coming to fight the autumn wind and sweep up supplies. This is what Qin Tian City was mainly on guard against.

    Sikong Ba is well aware of the character and abilities of this "son" and does not have high hopes for Sikong Wu. Everything in the fief has been arranged long ago and can continue in an orderly manner even without Sikong Wu's command.  Sikong Wu ordered to go down to repair the city wall and recruit sergeants. Naturally, Lei Meng, Wu Pei and others took care of it. They were happy to have free time. They usually practiced the Turtle Breathing and Cloud Splitting Technique in the secret room, and soaked in medicinal liquid to enhance the power of the golden bell.  He also went to the martial arts training ground from time to time to practice the Cloud Splitting Spear technique, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.

    Sikong Ba¡¯s message was also sent back, and it only contained three words: ¡°I got it.¡± It was obvious that Sikong Wu would not blame this precious son for killing Xie Liuqian.

    The golden fish brought from the underground cave grew very fast, reaching a weight of fifty or sixty pounds in two months. However, Sikong Wu planned to let them multiply, so he would not kill them.

    At this time, the fiefdom was actually stable. There were no bandits intruding, and there were no reports of border wars. What Sikongwu didn't expect was that when Zhou Chenghan made trouble earlier, Heijiaohou, who was about to ask for help, sent someone to Qin Tiancheng and asked him in turn.  Qin Tiancheng¡¯s help!

    Heijiao City in Heijiaohou is not far from Qintian City, on the other side of Dongshan. The fiefdom is more than twice the size of Qintian City. There are millions of people in the fiefdom, almost three times that of Qintian City, and there is one  The small-scale iron ore mine in the fief brings astonishing income to Heijiaohou. In terms of financial resources, Heijiaohou is definitely above Wuweihou.

    The number of soldiers in Black Corner City is about the same as that of Qin Tiancheng. Now Wu Weihou has taken away more than half of the elite soldiers. It can be said that Black Corner City's guard strength far exceeds that of Qin Tiancheng, and the generals are well-equipped, basically with stainless steel armor for body protection, and their combat effectiveness is extremely high.  Qiang, Sikong Wu didn¡¯t know why Lord Black Horn asked for help from Qin Tiancheng!

    Sikong Wu personally met with the people from Black Corner City. After questioning, he learned that more than ten bandit gangs had joined forces to form a super-large bandit group with a size of more than a thousand people. They had already wiped out the Green Grass City near Black Corner City and burned it to the ground.  Killing, looting, and tens of thousands of civilians died at the hands of the bandits.

    After these bandits captured Green Grass City, they did not disperse. Instead, they continued to send their men around the Black Corner City fiefdom, and suddenly set their sights on the Black Corner City's iron ore.

    Lord Noire knows that although the number of soldiers in Noire City far exceeds that of these bandits, their personal martial arts skills are far inferior to that of their opponents. Even if the bandits lack unified command and are scattered, they can still bring destruction to Noire City.  Attack, the scale of Green Grass City is not smaller than that of Qin Tian City. It only took half a day to be conquered by these bandits. Even the city lord died in the war. This shows the fighting power of these bandits. Therefore, they had to send people around to request nearby fiefdoms.  The help of the princes and lords.

    On the border, there are hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the border, but they are always on guard against the Blue Moon Empire's army and must not be used. These bandit wars can only be solved by the feudal princes, princes and lords themselves.  For the empire, this is an opportunity to train the sergeants of the fiefdom. If it is like Green Grass City, the fiefdom can be taken back and given to other generals who have made great achievements or the royal children who have been sent abroad.

    It is precisely this policy. Although the Qingtian Empire does not have many regular troops, once a battle occurs, troops can be recruited from various fiefdoms at any time to form an elite army of one million to attack the invading enemy head-on, allowing the nearby secondary empires to fight against them.  The Qingtian Empire was extremely worried.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Emperor Qingtian was not in critical condition, and the Qingtian Empire was internally unstable, the Blue Moon Empire might not have dared to pursue the idea of ??the Qingtian Empire, and would have taken the opportunity to take the hundreds of miles of territory near Dongshan into the hands of the Blue Moon Empire!

    Sikong Wu couldn¡¯t make up his mind. Logically speaking, he should support Black Corner City. After all, once Black Corner City was breached by bandits, those bandits might cross Dongshan and come to Qin Tian City.

    If it were normal times, these bandits would disperse after making a lot of money, and they would never massacre and capture the city at the expense of men and horses. Sikong Wu knew that behind these bandits, there must be the Blue Moon Empire, and it was probably the Blue Moon Empire.  Because Zhou Chenghan died in Qin Tiancheng, the Blue Moon Empire's plan was delayed for two months. As a result, it was impossible for Qin Tiancheng to ignore it.

    There are a total of seven fiefdoms within hundreds of miles. The closest one to Black Corner City is Qin Tian City. If Sikong Wu does not send troops, Black Corner City will probably not have any foreign aid. After much deliberation, Sikong Wu has to temporarily let the two men of Black Corner City  The people retreated and quickly invited Wu Pei and Lei Meng to discuss countermeasures.

    Lei Meng and Wu Pei had a headache after hearing the news. After pondering for a long time, Lei Meng said in a deep voice: "Zhou Chenghan and more than a hundred Green Scorpion thieves died inIn our Qintian City, the bandit coalition must have members of the Green Scorpion Bandits, and with the Blue Moon Empire's instigation behind it, once they break through the Black Corner City, they are likely to cross the Dongshan Mountain and reach our Qintian City.  "

    Wu Pei shook his head: "Now we in Qin Tian City have insufficient troops. The newly recruited soldiers have been trained for less than two months and cannot be brought to the battlefield. If we really want to support Black Corner City, we can only call on the veterans in the city and even the guards of the Marquis Mansion. This way  Qin Tiancheng's protective power will be greatly reduced. If something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be in danger?"

    "If the bandits are powerful and break Black Corner City, the empire will not just sit back and watch the bandits cause chaos, and will naturally send troops to destroy the bandit coalition." Wu Pei thought for a moment and continued. As the commander of Qin Tiancheng, he would naturally  Therefore, Qin Tiancheng's comfort was the most important thing and he did not agree to send troops.

    Lei Meng thought for a while and then said: "Commander Wu Pei is right. Black Corner City is not far from here. If the bandit coalition abandons Black Corner City and attacks our Qin Tian City, once we send troops, the city's defense will be empty.  It¡¯s even more impossible to resist them.¡±

    Sikong Wu pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "According to my intention, I want to support Black Corner City."

    He looked in the direction of Black Corner City, and then said: "The bandit coalition attacked Green Grass City and Black Corner City. These two cities are near the border. They should be distracting the attention of our Qingtian Empire for the Blue Moon Empire.  . If the border army divides its forces to provide assistance, the Blue Moon Empire can take the opportunity to launch an attack. If the border army does not move, the bandit coalition can also cut off the border army's logistics supplies, causing Black Corner City to be a battleground for the bandit coalition, and the concentrated iron ore in it  We can still strive to strengthen the bandits¡¯ armaments, but the goal will not change.¡±

    "In addition, even if the bandits intend to come to our Qintian City, they are afraid that the Black Corner City sergeants will attack us from behind. Therefore, as long as Black Corner City does not fall, our Qintian City should not be in much danger."

    Wu Pei looked at Sikong Wu: "According to the wishes of the young marquis, we should send troops to help? But although these bandit coalition forces are not large in number, they are basically second-grade martial arts masters. They are extremely powerful and come and go like the wind. Once  If defeated, we can still escape into dangerous mountainous areas such as Scorpion Ridge, and can even defeat an army of 10,000, otherwise the Blue Moon Empire will not spend a lot of money to encourage them to rebel. Even if we send troops, we may not be able to resist them."

    What he said was not wrong. One Zhou Chenghan, with more than a hundred Green Scorpion thieves, almost caused Qin Tiancheng to suffer a big loss. If Lu Zhu hadn't accidentally discovered the clue, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people alive in the Wuwei Hou Mansion. Now  The bandit alliance consisted of more than a thousand people and easily captured Green Grass City. Even if Black Corner City and Qin Tian City united, it would not be easy to resist.
