The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1680 A Terrible Teammate Appears on the Enemy Side!
Southern Yunnan, Kunming
He strode forward with the strength of a dragon and the power of a tiger, his black robe billowing behind him.
With swift steps, Zhang Cheng's long sleeves fluttered, making him appear like a banished immortal.
Looking at Zhang Cheng standing nearby, Feng Xifan was completely taken aback.

Because he sensed that this young man seemed somewhat different from how he had been a few days ago.

"Greetings, Lord Feng!"

Zhang Cheng cupped his hands in greeting and looked at Feng Xifan with a broad smile.
You seem a little different today!

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Feng Xifan's face showed a puzzled expression.
"My martial arts skills have only improved slightly!"

Looking calmly at Feng Xifan, Zhang Cheng smiled slightly.
"Who are these?"

Looking curiously behind Zhang Cheng, Feng Xifan's face showed surprise.
"Xu Xueting, Azure Dragon Envoy of the Divine Dragon Sect, greets Lord Feng!"

Looking at Feng Xifan, Xu Xueting quickly said her name.

Upon hearing that it was the Azure Dragon Envoy of the Divine Dragon Sect, Feng Xifan exclaimed in surprise, "The Divine Dragon Sect?"

“That’s right, Lord Feng. Under my ‘influence,’ the Divine Dragon Sect is willing to join forces with the Prince of Yanping’s Mansion to fight against the Manchus!”

Facing Feng Xifan, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and acknowledge him.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with surprise, Feng Xifan hadn't expected that this kid was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had such good eloquence.
After all, the Divine Dragon Sect belongs to the Prince of Pingxi's mansion, and he was able to bring them over!
But Feng Xifan never expected that Zhang Cheng would persuade the Divine Dragon Sect with just "three punches"!
Three punches shatter the spirit of the martial world, young hero, I am an honest man!
Hong Antong is a formidable fighter, right? The leader of the Divine Dragon Cult, who was once a powerful figure in his time, and what happened? He was easily defeated by Zhang Cheng using the teachings of "the land of etiquette." And this kid even uses the Dragon Claw Hand technique, a martial arts technique for cultivating immortality. How can anyone not be impressed?
"So good!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with satisfaction, Feng Xifan said this, but there was a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"The prince is waiting for you inside! Let's go!"

After speaking to Zhang Cheng, Feng Xifan turned and walked inside.

Just as everyone entered the courtyard, Zheng Keshuang was talking to someone.
However, as soon as Zhang Cheng entered, Zheng Keshuang quickly said, "Xinzhi is back. Please sit down. And who is this?"

"Xu Xueting of the Divine Dragon Sect pays respects to Young Master Yanping!"

When speaking to Zheng Keshuang, Xu Xueting was very polite.

Upon hearing Xu Xueting's words, Zheng Keshuang smiled and said, "Please sit down!"

"The Manchu princess has arrived in Kunming. I think Wu Sangui will make contact with her soon. However, whether the marriage can proceed will affect the cooperation between the two sides!"

Looking at Feng Xifan and Zhang Cheng beside him, Zheng Keshuang frowned and said, "Can't we wait any longer?"

"How about I go and kill all the people who came to escort the bride?"

Looking at Zheng Keshuang, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zheng Keshuang and Feng Xifan were both stunned, because this idea was truly brilliant!

"Alas! How can we be so cruel in our actions! Let's wait and see!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zheng Keshuang quickly refused.
Just as everyone was drinking tea, a piercing scream rang out, seemingly piercing the entire Prince Pingxi's mansion.

Xu Xueting suddenly stood up and hurriedly went outside, her eyes full of vigilance.
"what happened?"

Asking the people outside, Xu Xueting immediately frowned.

"Azure Dragon Envoy, the Vice Master has sent word that the Prince of Pingxi's heir has been castrated!"

When Xu Xueting spoke, the members of the Divine Dragon Sect immediately began to explain.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Keshuang and Feng Xifan froze on the spot, speechless for a long time, but their eyes were sharp as they stared at Zhang Cheng, as if to say, "You did this."

"what?"

Staring blankly with wide eyes, Zhang Cheng spread his hands innocently and said, "I don't know!"

"Not you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zheng Keshuang was dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Cheng wanted to slaughter the entire wedding procession, and now Wu Yingxiong has been castrated—it's most likely his doing, right? "How could this be me? I only arrived today!"

When Zhang Cheng tried to explain to Zheng Keshuang, he seemed unable to articulate his reasoning clearly.

After all, he wasn't born a pig castrator, so how could he possibly enjoy doing such a thing!

So, Wu Yingxiong's actions were definitely not his doing!
"Who is that?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Feng Xifan was also dumbfounded. At this critical moment of alliance, Wu Yingxiong had been castrated. Shouldn't they be the happiest people?

"Young Master, the Vice Leader has sent a message: Wu Yingxiong has been castrated by Princess Jianning!"

Upon entering the lobby, Xu Xueting quickly offered an explanation.
"See that? See that? It's not me, it's Princess Jianning!"

Addressing Feng Xifan and Zheng Keshuang, Zhang Cheng's face was full of seriousness.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng froze on the spot and exclaimed, "Wait, holy crap? Who, Princess Jianning!"

Staring at Xu Xueting in shock, Zhang Cheng froze on the spot upon hearing the news.
Is it because Princess Jianning is a complete idiot?

Did she not know that the purpose of her being sent here for a political marriage was to appease Wu Sangui?

Now that Princess Jianning has castrated Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui has no choice but to rebel!

Sure enough, when women get stupid, it's more effective than having a terrible teammate on the enemy side!

"Wu Sangui probably can't tolerate this any longer!"

With a meaningful opening statement, Feng Xifan's eyes were filled with sharpness.

This was his own son, while his eldest son, Wu Yinglin, was adopted. As you can imagine, this was tantamount to Wu Sangui having no descendants!

However, Zhang Cheng preferred Wu Yinglin to Wu Yingxiong because the boy had some talent in military affairs!

If it weren't for the burden of his clan and his status as a "stepson," he might actually have accomplished something great!
"Immediately send a message to the Prince, preparing to attack southern Fujian and support Wu Sangui's uprising!"

His eyes were filled with madness, and Zhang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zheng Keshuang, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in shock, "But our Yizhou military is not yet ready! Sending troops at this time would be far too reckless!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zheng Keshuang was also dumbfounded.

"Did the Qing Dynasty prepare for this while we weren't? War is a gamble! Now we're betting that Kangxi wasn't prepared to deal with Wu Sangui's sudden rebellion!"

Looking seriously at Zheng Keshuang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "I will personally explain this matter to the Prince!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng walked outside.

Following behind Zhang Cheng, Xu Xueting left with her hands clasped in greeting.
Looking at Zhang Cheng's retreating figure, Feng Xifan couldn't help but frown and say, "You scoundrel, how can you be so rude!"

"Father-in-law, if we really fight in southern Fujian, can we win?"

Looking at Feng Xifan in astonishment, Zheng Keshuang was also dumbfounded.
"Perhaps this really is a good opportunity!"

Considering that Wu Sangui's rebellion would inevitably tie down a large portion of the Qing forces, Feng Xifan, though disliking Zhang Cheng's attitude, agreed with his strategy.

Both sides are currently building up their strength in preparation for war, but each is waiting for the perfect opportunity.

But Princess Jianning's actions undoubtedly disrupted that fragile balance.
Inside the Prince of Pingxi's residence, Wu Sangui suppressed his rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
However, when he saw the blood-stained blade in Princess Jianning's hand, he still gritted his teeth and said, "My son has been unruly and offended the princess. Please forgive him!"

After saying this, Wu Sangui's blood pressure skyrocketed with anger.

Because he has no plans to go to war with the Qing Dynasty at this time, starting a war rashly would not only be a blow to him, but also a weakening of his position.
But now, whether or not to fight is no longer up to him!
