The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1681 Zhang Cheng: "Go tell your master that the Ming Dynasty has returned!"

Inside the Prince of Pingxi's residence, Wei Xiaobao helped Princess Jianning leave.

Princess Jianning, completely unaware of the gravity of the situation, returned to her room with a broad smile and said, "Little Gui, how was it? I did a great job, didn't I? I chopped that brat off with one stroke!"

As she spoke, Princess Jianning even began to gesticulate wildly.

Looking at Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao felt a cold sweat break out on his brow and exclaimed, "My dear little aunt, have you gone mad? If you kill Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui will kill us all!"

"What are you afraid of? My brother is the current emperor!"

Looking domineeringly at Wei Xiaobao, Princess Jianning had no idea what it meant to be willing to risk everything to bring down the emperor.
Huang Chao famously used the line, "When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither," to tell future generations that conquering Chang'an is always easier than passing the imperial examinations.
"But Xiao Xuanzi is a thousand miles away from us! How can we possibly save him!"

Faced with Princess Jianning's words, Wei Xiaobao almost vomited blood from anger.

But just then, a sound came from outside the door.
When Wei Xiaobao opened it, he saw a face that filled him with fear.

Looking at Wei Xiaobao with a mocking expression, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile and say, "Haven't you seen me for a few days, Lord Wei? Don't you recognize me?"

"Big brother? No, what big brother! I am the imperial envoy bestowing a marriage upon you!"

As he spoke to Zhang Cheng, Wei Xiaobao's face was filled with pride.
Looking at Wei Xiaobao's street-smart demeanor, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but step forward and say, "You're using Qing Dynasty officials to threaten people from the Ming Dynasty? You've got some nerve!"

With one hand on Wei Xiaobao's shoulder, Zhang Cheng stared at him with a playful expression.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Princess Jianning exclaimed in shock, "Little Gui, a traitor! This guy is a traitor!"

Before Princess Jianning could finish speaking, Zhang Cheng slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp slap, Princess Jianning was immediately stunned and stood frozen in place.
Covering her face in disbelief, Princess Jianning stared at Zhang Cheng in astonishment and said, "You dare to hit me?"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Cheng slapped Princess Jianning across the face again, then glared at her fiercely and said, "Say one more word, and I'll cut your tongue out and feed it to the dogs!"

Princess Jianning abruptly covered her mouth, glanced at the fierce-looking Xu Xueting and the others behind Zhang Cheng, and immediately fell silent.
Looking at Princess Jianning, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "To be honest, I really should thank you. If you hadn't castrated Wu Yingxiong, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make him rebel. Thank you!"

"Hahaha!"

Laughing loudly, Zhang Cheng patted Wei Xiaobao on the shoulder and said, "Get out of Yunnan and go back to tell your master that the Ming Dynasty has returned!"

At this point, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "If you don't escape tonight, I'll make sure you die in southern Yunnan!"

Holding his breath, Wei Xiaobao stared into Zhang Cheng's eyes, completely too frightened to speak.

After Zhang Cheng left, Princess Jianning exclaimed in fear, "Who is he? How could he be at the Prince of Pingxi's residence!"

"Grandma, that's a real traitor, from the Prince of Yanping's mansion!"

He spoke to Princess Jianning behind him, and Wei Xiaobao quickly ran inside to pack his things.
Wei Xiaobao might laugh at others saying they wanted to kill him, but Zhang Cheng might not; this guy is a real traitor!

If it weren't for Master Jiunan last time, Wei Xiaobao would probably have been chopped into mincemeat by Zhang Cheng long ago.
"What are you doing? How do you know him?!"

Princess Jianning stared at Wei Xiaobao in astonishment, dumbfounded.

"I ran into him last time I was kidnapped, and I almost got killed. I'd better pack my things and run now! Otherwise, it'll be too late! My goodness!"

When he spoke to Princess Jianning, Wei Xiaobao was filled with panic.

Inside the Prince of Pingxi's residence, Feng Xifan and others were seated at the head of the table, conversing with Wu Sangui.
However, faced with Zheng Keshuang's request, Wu Sangui said with a serious expression, "Raising an army at this time is far too dangerous. Forgive my Pingxi Prince's Mansion, but I am powerless to help!" As soon as Wu Sangui finished speaking, Wu Yinglin, who was sitting beside him, fell silent.
Because he knew that his father's reluctance to raise an army stemmed from a sliver of hope that his other sons could uphold the family's honor.

But if Wu Sangui thought that way, he had already completely abandoned his stepson.
You should know that he already had inheritance rights when he was adopted, but then Wu Yingxiong appeared.
But now, Wu Yingxiong is no longer alive, yet Wu Sangui still hasn't thought of his "son"!
"Does the Prince of Pingxi intend to wag his tail and beg the Manchus for your life?"

Looking at Wu Sangui with a broad smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease him.
"Who do you think you are, to speak to me like that!"

Staring angrily at Zhang Cheng, Wu Sangui roared.

Because as the Prince of Pingxi, he was never mocked or treated like a dog.
"Who am I? I am a general under the command of Zheng Yanping, the Prince of Ming!"

Looking at Wu Sangui in front of him, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Wu Yinglin, I'll help you kill him, and you can take over the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, how about that?"

Upon hearing these words, Wu Yinglin froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

The next second, Wu Sangui roared, "Insolence! Guards!"

But after Wu Sangui finished speaking, there was no sound from the people outside.
Staring in astonishment at this scene, Wu Sangui exclaimed, "How is this possible? Where are my men?"

As he spoke, Wu Sangui looked at Su Quan beside him.
Facing Wu Sangui's gaze, Su Quan cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I am a member of the Divine Dragon Sect, and of course I should obey the sect leader's orders!"

Facing Su Quan's cold gaze, Wu Sangui roared, "Even you dare to betray me!"

"Wu Yinglin, it's time to make a choice. If you don't want to choose, then we'll have no choice but to support that good-for-nothing!"

Looking at Wu Yinglin, Zhang Cheng smiled.
Stunned by what they saw, Zheng Keshuang and Feng Xifan were also dumbfounded.

Because no one expected that Zhang Cheng would dare to kill Wu Sangui and recommend Wu Yinglin to become the Prince of Pingxi!

You should know, Zhang Cheng never told them about this!

"Zhang Cheng, what are you going to do?"

Staring angrily at Zhang Cheng, Feng Xifan roared.

"Lord Feng, if we don't kill Wu Sangui now, how can we counterattack the Manchus, expel the Tartars, and rebuild China!"

Turning to look at Feng Xifan, Zhang Cheng immediately stepped forward, stretched out his arm, and said, "Bring me the bow, bring me the bow!"

Faced with Zhang Cheng's fierce gaze, Feng Xifan couldn't help but hand over the longbow that was lying on the wall behind him.
Holding his longbow, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and looked at Wu Sangui, saying, "You strangled the Yongli Emperor back then, and now I will do the same to you. I hope that after you leave, I will convey my greetings to the twenty emperors of the Ming Dynasty!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng punched Wu Sangui squarely in the chest, causing him to vomit blood.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw; they hadn't expected Zhang Cheng to be so daring and decisive.

With the bowstring wrapped around Wu Sangui's neck, Zhang Cheng strained repeatedly, saying, "You want to be a dog? Of course you can, but we can't, because we will never kneel."

"Help me, help me!"

Struggling to reach out, Wu Sangui looked at Zheng Keshuang and Feng Xifan.
However, as he gradually lost his breath, Wu Yinglin felt a surge of fear, but this was quickly followed by a strange excitement.

Because after Wu Sangui left, he was the one who should have been in charge of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion!

However, Wu Yinglin needed someone to cooperate in taking control of the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, and that person was naturally Zhang Cheng! That was his real target!

After all, he originally chose Wu Yingxiong, but who would have thought that he would be crippled!
