Chapter 597 The clown is actually me?
"⊙▃⊙?" Chang Zhengxin.

what's the situation?
The reinforcements I called for help from are my enemies?

Is Bai Qi of the Undying Army a member of the Tang bandits? Or perhaps a member of Princess Phoenix's faction?
What on earth is Fengming Palace up to? Is that old bastard Sun Shehu trying to kill me?
Just because I spoke ill of him behind his back once, saying he was "all looks and no substance" and couldn't even handle a kid, he's holding a grudge? And wants to get rid of me, this potential rival?
If he had a choice, Chang Zhengxin would prefer that the "young master" Bai Qi was referring to was himself.

After all, being in his thirties is barely enough to qualify him for that title.

But who is this "Princess"?
He did not know any of the princesses in the empire, and it was impossible for any princess to send an army to take him home.

He had never dreamed of such a thing when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

The others also watched this scene with expressions of shock.

These words were like a thunderclap from the heavens, leaving their heads buzzing incessantly.

Which scene is this?
"The Imperial Princess Falls in Love with Me, the Traitor?"

Did the princess and I betray our country because of love?

My girl is a princess; she sent an army to take me home.
-
Not only Chang Zhengxin and Tang Fei's relatives and friends, but even Bai Qi's 30,000 Undying Army were equally puzzled.

Which side are we on?

Logically speaking, we should be here to support the Overlord Blade Sect, since Tang Fei's side belongs to the bandit army.
Now, the bandit leader has become a young master?

Only a very few high-ranking generals looked confident, clearly indicating that they knew this secret in advance.

Tang Fei looked at Bai Qi and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, General Bai Qi."

"It is our honor to serve Your Highness."

"Yes, I believe Your Highness will not forget the kindness shown to you today."

"Young master, you're too kind. Time is of the essence, the Undying Army will escort you away from Phoenix City immediately."

"Okay." Tang Fei nodded.

His gaze fell on Chang Zhengxin's face, and he asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Chang Zhengxin, his face flushed, pointed at Bai Qi and roared angrily, "Bai Qi, you are responsible for defending the city, how could you defect to the enemy?"

"Why should I, Bai, need to explain my actions to others?" Bai Qi said with a look of disgust.

He could crush such tiny ants with a single finger.

Of course, this is on the battlefield.

If he were still Shen Wuxiang's first secretary, his fate would likely be in the hands of such a person.

All it takes is a few sarcastic remarks or bad words about Shen Wuxiang, and one's future will be in jeopardy.

The struggles within the military are far more brutal than those in the officialdom.

That was a real threat—to take up a knife and chop someone up.

"you"

Chang Zhengxin was so angry that his body trembled.

He's busy negotiating with someone, saying that reinforcements are coming, and he'll spare your life if you don't kill me.

What now?

I'm the clown myself?
What's worse is that he has no bargaining chips at the moment, so he's just a fish to be slaughtered.
Tang Fei glanced at Chang Zhengxin and casually said, "Let's take them together."

The First Secretary, the head of the secretariat, must be someone Shen Wuxiang trusts implicitly to be dispatched to Phoenix City for such an important mission.
Once you get him to talk, you can get a lot of useful information.

It's practically a human-shaped information extraction machine.

"Tang bandit, let me go, please let me go!"

Chang Zhengxin panicked and cried out for help: "My wife and children are in Qishan, in Shen Wuxiang's hands. If you take me away, they will all die, they will all die!"

Towards the end, Chang Zhengxin began to wail and cry.

He knew Shen Wuxiang too well, and he knew their style of doing things too well.

If he were taken away by the Tang bandits, his entire family would be doomed. He himself had done many, many such things.
He used to take care of other people's wives, children, and elderly parents, so why is it his turn now?

He knew that his subordinates in the secretary's office would be eager to do this.

Only in this way can one sever ties with oneself.
"What does that have to do with me?" Tang Fei retorted. "Not only did I not kill you, I saved you."

"Go ask Shen Wuxiang for help. Aren't you his secretary? He won't even agree to such a small thing?"

The Tang bandits were very angry.

Shouldn't you seek help from your loved ones in this situation?
We are adversaries, we are enemies.
Your superior wants to kill your family, and you want me to let you go?
There's no logic to this, no matter how much you try to explain it.

"."

"Let's go." Tang Fei waved his hand and gave the order to retreat.

Thus, the ships chased the waves, and the warships roared.

One after another, the lights disappeared into the sea around Wangyue Island.

In an instant, the sea returned to its deep and tranquil atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.

However, what happened tonight is enough to rewrite the history of the empire.
-
The historians were the first to receive the news.

The Shi family's old residence is located at No. 9 Wangyue Island, and all of this was caused by the fiftieth birthday celebration of Chen Zilin, the wife of Shi Hongyun, the head of the Shi family.

A family was murdered after a glass of champagne.

With his sister-in-law poisoned and his family in turmoil, Shi Hongchuan, the Vice Minister of Finance, rushed back from the main city of Phoenix City immediately.

Before the flying car even landed, he received a call from Sun Shehu.

The poisoner was Tang Fei; they wanted to lure the renowned physician Qin Luo here so they could intercept and take him away from Wangyue Island.
The Overlord Blade Sect had anticipated this, so they had a large number of people lying in ambush on Wangyue Island.

All the elites of the Overlord Blade Sect were brought out.

Unexpectedly, Tang Fei used a counter-strategy, employing Qin Luo as bait to attempt to wipe out the Tyrant Blade Sect.
So arrogant.

Upon arriving in Phoenix City, instead of immediately fleeing silently, they even attempted to eliminate the Tyrant Blade Sect, the empire's premier sect.

Do you think Zhao Wuji grew up eating shit?

But the truth is just that absurd.

At this moment, the Overlord Blade Sect is in extreme danger, and they have dispatched Bai Qi with 30,000 Undying Army soldiers to provide support.

Before that, have the Shi family send someone over to help.
After all, they were closest to the battlefield, and the Shi family's old residence was also quite well-protected.

Well, the plot isn't complicated.

However, Shi Hongchuan felt a chill run down his spine.

Have the Tang bandits even broken into Phoenix City?
Using historians as the chessboard and Qin Luo as the pieces, they played such a grand game?
Even with the entire Ba Dao Sect mobilized, they still couldn't take them down? They actually need to deploy 30,000 regular troops!
When did the bandit army grow to such a terrifying level?

Is this request reasonable?

Very unreasonable.

If even the Overlord Blade Sect can't handle this enemy, aren't my Shi family's few manpower just going to be sent to their deaths?
However, Sun Shehu's identity is rather special.

Even though he was about to be promoted to one of the three ministers, the Minister of Wealth, he dared not refuse his request at this time.

So, after returning home, he discussed it briefly with his elder brother Shi Hongyun and decided to send one-third to one-fifth of his men to support the Tyrant Blade Sect.

Just to be on the safe side, everyone needed to be fully armed, which caused some further delay.

So when these private soldiers of the historians arrived, all was quiet except for the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

Where is the battle taking place?
Where is the Overlord Blade Sect?
When they swept their searchlights across the sea, their pupils dilated, and a chill ran down their spines.

One, two, three.
Hundreds of corpses were bobbing up and down with the waves.

Has the Tyrant Blade Sect really been wiped out?
