Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

The shadow assassin was subdued to the ground, a trace of determination and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he still kept his lips tightly closed, refusing to utter a word.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that this kind of assassin must have undergone rigorous training, and it would be difficult to make him speak with ordinary means.

But at this moment, time is running out, and we must get more information about the mastermind from him as soon as possible in order to stop this conspiracy that endangers the foundation of the Great Wei.

At this moment, Empress Zhu Linlang came back to her senses from her shock.

She looked at the thrilling scene in front of her, feeling grateful for the timely appearance of the other party, but also angry at the audacity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The empress straightened her clothes, walked to Fang Yue, and said solemnly: "My dear Fang, this person must know many key clues. You must make him speak."

Fang Yue nodded slightly and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will not let the conspiracy of the person behind the scenes succeed."

Then he signaled his men to take the shadow assassin back to the tent and prepare to use special means to interrogate him.

Back in the tent, Fang Yue looked at the tied-up shadow assassin and thought about a strategy.

He knew very well that if he wanted to make this person talk, he had to find his weakness. Fang Yue first tried to persuade him with words:
"You worked hard for others, but in the end you were just abandoned. If you were willing to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, you might still have a chance of survival. Are the Demon Shadow Society and Zhao Rui and others really worth risking your life for?"

When the Shadow Assassin heard the names of the Demon Shadow Society and Zhao Rui, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Fang Yue already knew some of the inside story.

But he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, Fang Yue decided to use a hard approach.

He ordered someone to bring some special medicine, a kind of medicine that can cause people to fall into extreme pain but will not endanger their lives.

Fang Yue fed the medicine to the Shadow Assassin. Soon, the Shadow Assassin began to tremble all over and a look of pain appeared on his face.

However, even so, the Shadow Assassin still endured it and did not make any sound to beg for mercy.

Just as Fang Yue was thinking about his next move, the shadow assassin's trembling body suddenly stopped shaking, and the pain on his face strangely faded away, replaced by a crazy smile.

Fang Yue's heart was filled with alarm, his intuition told him that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to take action, he saw the shadow assassin suddenly raise his head and let out a low and shrill roar.

In an instant, the Shadow Assassin's body began to swell, and countless worms seemed to be wriggling under his skin, making creepy sounds.

Fang Yue realized that the assassin was going to self-destruct. He exerted all his strength without hesitation and rushed out of the tent like lightning, shouting at the same time: "Everyone, retreat!"

But the explosion came too suddenly. Although the soldiers in the tent tried their best to escape, several of them were still affected by the impact of the explosion.

With a loud "bang", the tent was instantly blown to pieces. A strong air wave spread out in all directions with the explosion point as the center, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the surrounding trees were shaken to the ground.

At the moment of the explosion, Fang Yue relied on his extraordinary skills to jump out of the danger zone in time, but his clothes were torn by the air wave and there were several bloody cuts on his arms.

When the smoke and dust cleared a little, he looked at the mess in front of him with a serious expression, his heart filled with anger and regret.

"General!" The trusted generals who rushed over after hearing the news were relieved to see that Fang Yue was safe and sound.

Fang Yue waved his hand, glanced at the injured soldiers, and secretly hated himself for not being able to get more information from the shadow assassin.

"Seal off the scene immediately and treat the injured!"

Fang Yue quickly gave the order, then turned and looked towards the direction of the Imperial City. "The Demon Shadow Society is so unscrupulous, it seems that their conspiracy has reached a critical stage."

Fang Yue knew very well that the Shadow Assassin's self-destruction was no accident. It must be that the Demon Shadow Society had sensed that the matter had been exposed, and had given the assassin an order to perish together with his enemy in advance to prevent the leakage of secrets.

He did not dare to delay for even a moment and immediately rushed back to the imperial city to meet the empress.

In the magnificent palace, Fang Yue knelt on one knee and reported everything that had happened to the empress.

After hearing this, Empress Zhu Linlang's face darkened terribly. She slammed the table and said angrily, "The Demon Shadow Society is really going too far! Lord Fang, do you have any plan to deal with it?"

Fang Yue raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I think that since the Demon Shadow Society is willing to sacrifice the Shadow Assassin, they will definitely speed up their conspiracy.

I suggest that the security of the imperial city be strengthened immediately, especially the site of the launching ceremony of the Heaven Sealing and Earth Locking Array, and a comprehensive investigation should be conducted, and no suspicious person should be let off.

At the same time, conduct a secret investigation of the ministers in the court to uncover the traitors who are colluding with the Demon Shadow Society."

The empress nodded slightly and said, "Everything will be done as you say. The safety of the Wei Dynasty depends entirely on you."

After receiving the order, Fang Yue immediately took action.

He selected the most elite soldiers in the army and formed several search teams to conduct a carpet search of the streets and alleys and important places in the imperial city.

At the same time, he arranged for his confidants to secretly monitor the ministers in the court and collect evidence of their collusion with the Demon Shadow Society.

During the inspection of the ceremony site, the soldiers discovered several suspicious secret sentry positions. After a fierce fight, they successfully captured all the spies of the Demon Shadow Society hiding in the dark.

From these people, Fang Yue learned that the Demon Shadow Society planned to use assassins hidden in the crowd to create chaos when the ceremony started, and at the same time launch attacks at several key locations in the imperial city to distract the defenders.

Fang Yue realized that the situation was extremely critical and that they didn't have much time left. He quickly summoned all the generals and held an emergency military meeting in a makeshift tent. Inside the tent, the atmosphere was solemn, and the faces of the generals were filled with worry and determination.

Fang Yue stood in the center of the tent, his eyes like torches, scanning every general, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the conspiracy of the Demon Shadow Society has surfaced. They are trying to create chaos at the launching ceremony of the Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth Array and subvert our Great Wei. Now, we must race against time to formulate a countermeasure."

A general stood up and said worriedly, "General, the assassins from the Demon Shadow Society are hiding in the crowd. How can we distinguish them? Once they launch an attack, the scene will be in chaos. How should we deal with it?"

Fang Yue frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "We will arrange a large number of soldiers at the ceremony site, and divide them into groups to patrol and pay close attention to abnormal behavior in the crowd. For those who act suspiciously, it is better to check them by mistake than to let them go. At the same time, checkpoints will be set up at each entrance and exit of the ceremony site to strictly check everyone who enters to ensure that no dangerous items are brought in."

Another general then asked, "General, what about other key locations in the Imperial City? The Demon Shadow Society will definitely deploy a large number of personnel in these places. How should we allocate our forces?"

Fang Yue walked to the huge sand table in the tent, pointed to the key locations of the imperial city on the sand table, and said, "We must heavily guard the key locations of the imperial city, such as the grain and grass depot, the weapons depot, and the city gate. I will personally select a group of elite soldiers and form several mobile units. Once a crisis occurs in any place, the mobile units can quickly provide support."

Afterwards, Fang Yue looked at the generals who were in charge of monitoring the ministers in the court and said seriously, "We can no longer sit idly by and wait for those ministers who colluded with the Demon Shadow Society to die. When there is solid evidence, arrest them immediately to prevent them from colluding with the outside world at the critical moment."

After making all the arrangements, Fang Yue emphasized again: "This mission concerns the life and death of our Great Wei, and there can be no mistakes. Everyone must be fully alert, perform their duties, and must crush the conspiracy of the Demon Shadow Society!"

The generals shouted in unison: "We will follow the general's orders!" The sound echoed throughout the tent, with majestic momentum.

In the following days, Fang Yue led the soldiers to stick to their posts day and night, not daring to slack off for a moment. They conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the imperial city, leaving no corner untouched.

As the day of the launching ceremony of the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation draws closer, a tense atmosphere permeates the entire imperial city.

Finally, the day of the launching ceremony of the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation arrived.

The imperial city was decorated with lights and people came to the ceremony with great anticipation. However, they did not know that a huge crisis was quietly approaching.

Fang Yue was wearing gorgeous armor, standing on the high platform at the ceremony site, his eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle.

Around him is a group of elite soldiers who are on high alert, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

The ceremony began, music sounded, and the atmosphere was solemn and warm.

At this moment, several figures suddenly flashed in the crowd and rushed towards the platform at an extremely fast speed.

There was a flash of cold light in their hands, and it was obvious that they were holding sharp blades, intending to harm Fang Yue and important officials on the podium.

Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and he gave a loud order: "Archers, get ready!"

In an instant, rows of archers quickly took their positions, pulled their bowstrings to full length, and pointed their arrows directly at the assassins rushing towards them.

The elite soldiers beside Fang Yue were also fearless. They drew their weapons and faced the assassin.

"Kill!" The assassins shouted madly, with no intention of stopping. Instead, they rushed forward even more desperately.

They were agile and moved freely among the crowd. For a moment, the people around them were terrified, screams rang out one after another, and the order at the scene was instantly disrupted.

While directing the soldiers to deal with the assassins, Fang Yue shouted loudly: "Don't panic, stay calm! Soldiers, make sure to capture all these assassins!"

However, at this moment, shouts and screams were heard from other key locations in the imperial city, such as the granary and armory.

Obviously, the Shadow Society launched attacks in multiple locations simultaneously as planned.

The general in charge of guarding the granary sent someone to deliver an urgent report: "General, the granary has been attacked by a large number of assassins. The enemy is coming fiercely. We are fighting hard, but the enemy is outnumbered. Request for support!"

Fang Yue frowned and made a prompt decision to send a mobile force to the grain depot for support.

At the same time, the armory was also caught in a tough battle.

The assassins of the Demon Shadow Society seemed to know the layout of the imperial city very well. They took advantage of the chaos and tried to snatch weapons from the armory, arm more people, and further expand the chaos.

Fang Yue was well aware of the importance of the armory. If the enemy succeeded in getting hold of it, the consequences would be disastrous.

He also dispatched an elite force and ordered them to guard the armory.

At the ceremony site, Fang Yue fought fiercely with the assassins.

He was a martial arts expert, and he wielded the sword in his hand with impenetrable force. Each strike of his sword carried a sharp aura, aiming directly at the assassin's vital points.

Although the assassins fought desperately, they were gradually at a disadvantage under the siege of Fang Yue and the elite soldiers.

However, just as the situation was gradually stabilizing, something unexpected happened among the crowd.

Suddenly, a man in black took out a black ball from his arms and threw it towards the platform.

Fang Yue was startled, realizing that this might be a powerful hidden weapon. He quickly used his body skills to fly up and knock the black ball away with the sword in his hand.

The sphere exploded in mid-air with a loud bang, and the powerful impact force caused the surrounding soldiers to retreat.

"Oh no, they have a backup plan! Everyone be careful!" Fang Yue reminded everyone loudly.

At this time, the entire imperial city fell into chaos and crisis. Fang Yue knew very well that this battle had just begun.

Fang Yue knew very well that he had to stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time, otherwise the conspiracy of the Demon Shadow Society would most likely succeed.

While he was fighting the assassin, he was quickly thinking of a countermeasure.

"Pass the order down, tell all soldiers to maintain their formation and not panic!"

Fang Yue shouted loudly, his voice drowning out the shouting and screams of the people around him.

He knew very well that in a chaotic situation, maintaining order in the army was the most important thing.

At this time, the general in charge of guarding the city gate also sent someone to report: "General, the city gate has also been attacked. The enemy is trying to break through the gate and let their accomplices outside the city in!"

Fang Yue's heart sank. If the city gate was breached, the follow-up forces of the Demon Shadow Society would pour in and the situation would become even more difficult to control.

Fang Yue made a prompt decision and dispatched another mobile force to the city gate for support. At the same time, he said to the messenger beside him:

"Tell the guards of the grain and armory to hold on and wait for reinforcements! Soldiers at the ceremony site, hurry up and kill these assassins, don't fight too long!"

Under Fang Yue's command, the morale of the soldiers at the ceremony site was greatly boosted. They cooperated with each other and gradually forced the assassins into a desperate situation.

However, at this moment, another group of assassins rushed out from another direction of the crowd and joined the battle, and the situation became tense again.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that the Demon Shadow Society would definitely come out in full force this time, intending to completely overthrow the Wei Dynasty in this battle.

He looked around and found that the panic of the people not only affected the soldiers' combat, but they might also become hostages of the assassins.

"Assign some soldiers to protect the people and evacuate in an orderly manner!"

Fang Yue issued a new order. He knew very well that protecting the safety of the people was equally important and that innocent people must not be allowed to come to harm.

Thanks to the soldiers' efforts, some civilians began to evacuate to safe areas in an orderly manner.

At the grain depot, the reinforcements arrived in time and joined forces with the original defenders to launch a counterattack against the assassins of the Demon Shadow Society. (End of this chapter)
