From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 106: Stab Fang Yingkan to death, who is the real master gun ( words)

When Zhao Lie and others made up their minds, Cai Jing finally figured out what was going on and realized that Zhuge Zhengwo might just be bluffing, and that the Shenhou Mansion might really be weak inside and had run out of tricks.

Zhuge Zhengwo has always stood proudly in the court as a clean and upright person.

His opponents included King Zuo Wu, Cai Jing, Mi Cangqiong, Fang Yingkan, Fu Zongshu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and other treacherous villains. He made countless enemies but had very few allies.

But after so many years, not only has he not been defeated by these villains, he has almost never suffered any obvious injuries. It is hard to say whether this is not a legend, or even a myth.

This is especially true in this court where there are so many powerful people and masters.

Everyone knows that Zhuge Shenhou is a martial arts master, but no one knows to what extent his martial arts skills are.

Cai Jing, Zuo Wuwang and others were well versed in the art of war and knew not to act rashly. They tried to test Zhuge Zhengwo countless times, starting with his friends, disciples, relatives and old acquaintances, but each time they were resolved by this wise marquis with a light touch.

In the eyes of King Zuo Wu and Cai Jing, Zhuge Zhengwo's martial arts and wisdom were not just unfathomable, but simply all-encompassing.

In fact, both of them understood that there is absolutely no one in this world who is impeccable. They just didn't find Zhuge's flaws.

They knew even more clearly that if the two parties could unite sincerely, they would be able to wipe out the Shenhou Mansion without leaving a single person alive.

The only question is, how much damage can Zhuge Liang cause to both sides before he falls completely?

Therefore, before finding out Zhuge Zhengwo's background, the two dared not take any risks, and the three parties were in a stalemate.
But what they didn't know was that Zhuge Zhengwo had actually exhausted all his energy and efforts just to maintain this superficial balance.

He had too many opponents and too few allies. In the court, there were Cai Jing, Zuo Wuwang and others who were his enemies. In the underworld, there were Tang Shiwu, Ling Luoshi, Jiao Tianwang and other overlords who were eyeing him covetously.

Even among the righteous forces, not everyone is happy to see the existence of this pillar of support.

Over the years, Zhuge Zhengwo had often tried his best to create an unfathomable and mysterious atmosphere in order to intimidate King Zuo Wu and others.

When your enemies think you are invincible, then you are truly invincible.

But this "invincibility" was just a disguise. Zhuge Zhengwo could never rely on disguise to truly defeat King Zuo Wu and eliminate Cai Jing's supporters.

There is always an end to pretense. At least now, Cai Jing and King Zuo Wu have realized this.

However, Zhuge Zhengwo is Zhuge Zhengwo after all.

Even at the moment before his disguise was about to be exposed, he made the most of it and delayed the progress of Prince Zuo Wu and Cai Jing.

In fact, this is a fact that is easy to discover.

As long as they realize that Zhuge Zheng and I are also human beings with limited energy and time, this problem will be easily solved.

As long as he was still human, it would be impossible for him to manage the Shenhou Mansion in an orderly manner, take into account the changing situation in the martial arts world, and practice martial arts to the pinnacle at the same time.

It’s just that over the years, Zhuge Zhengwo left such a deep impression on them that they couldn’t help but doubt him.

——Zhuge Zhengwo, do I still have hidden strength that has not been exposed?

——Does he have any hidden tricks that he hasn’t used yet?
To the two of them, Zhuge Zhengwo was a monster who could not be guessed by common sense, who could always be unexpected, anticipate the enemy's moves, and even plan strategies from thousands of miles away.

It was this caution, characteristic of smart people, that ultimately gave Zhuge Zhengwo more room to display his abilities and made his myth of invincibility truly take shape, making it unbreakable.

In fact, King Zuo Wu always believed that it was his existence that forced Zhuge, the powerful divine marquis, to obey the imperial edict and was unable to be distracted to help Qiao Feng.

Cai Jing also always believed that the injuries Zhuge Zhengwo showed in the previous eight assassination attempts were just deliberate disguises, waiting for him to reveal a flaw.

Now it seems that the people who cannot really show their strength are the always suspicious King Zuo Wu and him!
Thinking of this, Cai Jing laughed out of anger, and his laughter rumbled like thunder, or like the sound of the intestines of some hungry beast.

The stone table in front of him immediately rose from the ground, exploded in mid-air, and turned into debris and powder all over the sky, floating down like heavy mist.

Even Long Ba, who was standing beside Cai Jing, the seven old men with swords on their backs, the two masked men in black, a young man, and a giant were all a little surprised.

Everyone knows that this prime minister, who has never revealed any martial arts skills to the outside world, can, like Zhuge Zhengwo, survive the ups and downs of court struggles but still stand firm. He must have had extraordinary support.

Many people even believed that Cai Jing was a hidden master, and his revelation just now indeed proved this conjecture.

But for someone like Cai Jing, even if he has revealed some of his secrets, it is definitely not the only secret he has.

People like him always have a backup plan and always have a last trick up their sleeve.

The only person who did not make any move and did not pay attention to Cai Jing's movements was a tall and thin man who was the farthest away from everyone, had the most distant and indifferent temperament, and stood with his eyes closed.

After Cai Jing tried his hand at it, he stood up.

His originally excited expression finally calmed down, and he once again became the Grand Tutor Cai who was not moved by external things, was kind in his majesty, and was cunning in his kindness.

He shook his head and squinted his eyes, then laughed:
"Good old Zhuge, you really have the demeanor of a Marquis. I, Cai Yuanchang, am convinced by your empty city plan.

However, the drama has come to an end, and it is time to end it.”

Long Ba thought of something and suddenly asked:

"Prime Minister, if Zhuge dies, what will happen to Prince Zuo Wu..."

When the name Zuo Wu Wang was mentioned, Cai Jing's eyes also fluctuated. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Zhao Lie is a man of great ambitions and a very careful mind. Unless he is sure that Zhuge is dead, he will really turn against me. There is no need to worry about him for the time being."

Long Ba also heard that Cai Jing's tone was not as confident as usual.

It was obvious that Prime Minister Cai did not trust King Zuo Wu that much, nor was he willing to believe that Zhuge Zhengzhen was really doomed.

But no matter what, this is indeed the best opportunity to kill Zhuge Zhengwo, and Cai Jing will not let it go no matter what.

Therefore, even though he still had some concerns in his heart, he did not care about them. He turned around and looked at the masters who were offering sacrifices. He clasped his hands and fists towards them in a very chivalrous manner and said in a deep voice:

"Today's matter still needs your help."

The seven old men carrying swords nodded slightly, quite proud of themselves.

In today's Song Dynasty, there are only a few people who are qualified to treat Cai Jing like this, and they are all top masters.

These seven people are the best of the best.

They were none other than the "Seven Sword Gods" who were once jointly defeated by Zhuge and Yuan Shisanxian.

Since their defeat at the hands of Zhuge Zhengwo, six of the Seven Supreme Sword Gods have been practicing hard day and night, vowing to avenge their vengeance, and have all achieved the highest realm in the sword art.

Another "Sword" who has the strongest martial arts and the highest swordsmanship has achieved some kind of indescribable enlightenment since he and Yuan Shisan were both injured.

Over the years, his progress in martial arts and swordsmanship had reached an unknowable level that the other six people could not see clearly.

At their age, with martial arts skills at this level, they should not be easily impressed. However, Cai Jing really grasped the two things they valued most:
One is for disciples who place their trust in their lifelong martial arts achievements.

The second is the revenge for the disastrous defeat that year.

Now hearing that all the "Seven Divine Swords" were killed by the Zizai Sect's disciples, the Sword Gods could no longer sit idly by and came out of seclusion one after another, demanding Zhuge Zhengwo pay with his life for both new and old grudges!

However, the seven sword gods had different attitudes towards Cai Jing, and among them, the "Sword" with the highest martial arts skills was the most disrespectful.

"Jian" just nodded imperceptibly, then looked away, focusing his attention on the tall and thin man who was independent of the crowd, with a cold and arrogant face and a lonely temperament.

This person is none other than the junior brother of Zhuge Shenhou, who is feared by everyone in the martial arts world and regarded as a rare devil, the "Crazy Hero" Yuan Shisanxian.

Decades ago, the young "Jian" and Yuan Shisanxian had a fight over Zhigao.

Although both sides suffered losses in this battle, "Sword" knew that he was the one who was more seriously injured.

Therefore, over the years, "Sword" has always taken Yuan Thirteen Limits as its goal, and has devoted himself to cultivation without distraction, breaking through several major obstacles in succession.

At the same time, "Sword" also heard the news that Yuan Shisanxian was defeated by Zhuge Zhengwo many times. From this, he realized that Yuan Shisanxian was just like himself, a man who was determined and tenacious and would never admit defeat easily. He paid more attention to him and regarded him as his number one enemy in his life.

Only losers, and losers who are determined to win back, can best understand each other's state of mind.

But when they met again now, "Jian" was a little surprised.

This was not the high-spirited and murderous Yuan Shisanxian he once knew, nor was it the Yuan Shisanxian who was obsessed and full of hatred he imagined.

"Sword" has heard that in order to defeat Zhuge Zhengwo, Yuan Shisanxian once practiced the "Divine Art of Forbearance", suppressing all negative emotions to the extreme and turning them into a deeper, more intense and stronger force.

Once this power erupts, it will surely be earth-shattering.

But after seeing it today, "Sword" could not feel any sense of "endurance" from Yuan Shisanxian.

It was as if he had seen through the world and no longer cared about anything. He felt empty, even to the point of being hollow and nothingness.

Yuan Shisanxian now looks like a motionless statue of a god, with a faint golden glow on his skin and flesh. There is no trace of life inside, as if he is dead.

If there were no reincarnation, death would be death, the end of life, and the extinction of everything.

But Yuan Shisanxian looked like he was in nirvana.

Yuan Shisanxian does not look like a Buddha, and his behavior has nothing to do with Buddha. He has the five aggregates and the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance.

But just by standing here, he gives people the feeling that he is really a Buddha.

A Buddha who has attained nirvana in silence.

Even Cai Jing was somewhat surprised at Yuan Shisanxian's condition.

Ever since Zhuge Zhengwo led his men to threaten the Grand Tutor's Mansion and challenged Yuan Shisanxian head-on, this "crazy rich man" returned to the Yuanshen Mansion and has been practicing hard until now, and finally came out of seclusion.

Cai Jing knew that during Yuan Shisan's training period, he had summoned his six major disciples and passed on all the thirteen magical skills that made him famous.

The "Thirteen" in Yuan Shisanxian originally refers to these thirteen unique skills, implying that each of them is the limit for the opponent.

But Cai Jing knew that this was not only the limit for his opponent, but also the limit of the Thirteenth Limit of the Yuan Dynasty.

The philosophy of Zizai Sect is to eliminate the dross and retain the essence, and to refine all the complicated moves into a single one. However, Yuan Shisanxian relied on his "Thirteen Divine Skills" and "Seventy-Seven Unique Skills" to show off his power, which can be said to be contrary to the right path of Zizai Sect martial arts.

Now that he has broken free from the old shackles, he can remove the word "Thirteen" and regain the name Yuanxian.

In the hands of "Liuhe Qinglong", these thirteen martial arts will certainly not have the power they once had for Yuan Xian, and will hardly be a limit for his opponent, but they will no longer be a limit for Yuan Xian himself.

Even Cai Jing couldn't estimate the current level of Yuan Xian's martial arts.

When they attacked Shenhou Mansion previously, it was he who shot the mysterious "Sad Little Arrow" from Yuanshen Mansion, seriously injuring Shu Wuxi and directly hitting his brother Shu Lancan, causing him to remain unconscious ever since.

Even a figure like Zhuge Zhengwo was caught off guard and did not have time to stop it.

Yuanshen Mansion was the mansion that Cai Jing gave to Yuan Xian. In order to avoid a direct conflict between Yuan Xian and Zhuge Zhengwo in anger, which would cause unnecessary trouble and ruin his own plans, Cai Jing arranged Yuanshen Mansion to be far away from Shenhou Mansion, at the two poles on the diagonal line.

This also means that Yuan Xian's arrow still had such power even after crossing the entire Kaifeng city, which is really horrifying.

It was this arrow that tore open the mysterious veil that Zhuge Zhengwo had maintained until now, making Cai Jing and King Zuo Wu deeply aware of the current weakness of the Shenhou Mansion, which led to tonight's action.

However, although Yuan Shisanxian has made extraordinary progress, his past performance is really worrying.

Compared to a loser like him, Cai Jing still values ​​the other two strong allies more.

Those two masked men in black.
They are the two most mysterious overlords in the underworld and also hold high positions in the court. Therefore, it is inconvenient for them to reveal their identities and they come to help covered their faces.

One of them was tall and slender, exuding extraordinary majesty. Wherever this kind of person stood, the place would become a solemn and dignified meeting hall.

He wore a painted mask with streaks of black smoke emanating from the edges, condensing like substance and fusing the entire mask with his flesh.

This man is known as "a match for ten thousand men", but in the eyes of many people, perhaps he should simply be called "invincible".

Even Guan Qi, the Seventh Saint Lord of the Misty Sky Alliance, once commented that he was "invincible" and could not be defeated no matter how many people came or who were the masters among them.

——Except in front of the "King of Heaven".

The "King of Calling" has long sleeves and a lightly fastened mask. No matter from which direction you look at him, he is just a thin "piece" and does not look like a human at all. Instead, he looks like a thin silhouette that should be preserved in a painting.

"Ten Thousand Enemies" is already the most outstanding mysterious master in the martial arts world, but "King of Calling" is even more mysterious and more skilled than him. The evaluation of him by people in the martial arts world is so brief that it only contains one sentence.

A word with infinite weight.

More ruthless than "Ten Thousand Enemies", more powerful than Chu Yici, and more skilled in martial arts than Ling Luoshi.

Although people often regard this as flattery, Cai Jing, who has dealt with the above three people and also has a deep background in martial arts, knows that this is by no means a rumor or flattery, but the most irrefutable fact.

The young man and the giant were the subordinates of the King of Heaven. He was also the only strong one among these people who was qualified to bring his subordinates to the meeting.

This is not only because of their status as the King of Heaven, but also because these two are rare and peerless powerful people in the world.

There are even many people in the underworld who do not know the truth and regard the two of them as "the kings of heaven".

When Cha Jiaotian, the "King of Jiaotian", was wandering around the world in the past, he had two nicknames.

After becoming famous, he gave these two titles to two of his most trustworthy and most skilled young men, letting them travel the world and handle affairs on his behalf, while he himself hid behind the scenes.

When he was young, Cha Jiaotian was very brave and fearless in fighting. He was as fierce as Zhang Fei, but he was also very smooth and experienced in handling things, which was inconsistent with his age. Therefore, he was called "Old Zhang Fei".

Now, this title was given to the giant with eyes like copper bells, beard and hair like spears, each hair piercing the sky, and a face full of whiskers.

This man was nearly ten feet tall, with wrists thicker than an average person's thighs. He looked like a demon that had failed to transform, with the ferocity and murderousness of a wild beast and the majesty and stature of a giant spirit.

Compared with the current "King of Calling Heaven", he is indeed more suitable for the title of "Old Zhang Fei".

After Zha Jiaotian established his own power and had a group of capable assistants, he became more and more powerful and rarely took action himself, showing the bravery of "Zhang Fei". People in the world respectfully called him "the first-line king".

Today, the title of "King of the First Line" belongs to that thin young man. He also wears a mask and never reveals his true face, but everyone can feel a refined and unrestrained temperament from him.

In fact, even Long Ba did not know until today that the "King of Calling", "King of the First Line" and "Old Zhang Fei" that are widely circulated in the martial arts world are not just three nicknames of one person, but three peerless masters.

The momentum of "Yixian Wang" and "Old Zhang Fei" alone is enough to compete with the "sword" of the Seven Sword Gods, and the martial arts of "Calling the King of Heaven" is even more obvious.

Looking at these masters, Cai Jing felt a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart.

He had a premonition that after today, the struggle between him and Zhuge, which had lasted for decades and spanned three dynasties, would come to an end.

At this moment, a man used his body skills to fly like an eagle from outside the Grand Tutor's Mansion. He fell to the ground and reported:

"Report to the Grand Master, Zhuge Zhengwo has run away!"

Zhuge Zhengwo, ran away?
Cai Jing was stunned.

For a moment, he even found it difficult to associate the word "run" with Zhuge Zhengwo.

Zhuge Zhengwo, will he also run away?

Even though Cai Jing believed that Zhuge Zhengwo had run out of tricks, he still did not take his lifelong enemy lightly and even made plans to fight a big battle with him.

After all, the Shenhou Mansion is Zhuge Zhengwo's long-established lair, and everyone knows that his disciple Wuqing's mysterious techniques of hidden weapons and mechanical devices all came from his teachings.

After several previous assassinations, everyone had fully realized how difficult the mechanisms, traps, and feng shui formations in the Shenhou Mansion were.

But this old fox actually abandoned his nest and ran away?

Upon hearing the news, not only Cai Jing, but also the Seven Absolute Sword Gods and other masters were all surprised.

Only Yuan Xian, who should have had the deepest hatred, the strongest murderous intent, and the greatest anger towards Zhuge Zhengwo, remained silent and motionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Although Cai Jing was surprised, he still maintained the most basic calmness and asked quickly:

"Where are Mi Cangqiong and Fang Yingkan? Why haven't they sent out any news?"

After Yuan Xian's "sad little arrow", Fang Yingkan, Mi Cangqiong and a group of masters from Youqiao Group volunteered to stay and monitor every move of the Shenhou Mansion.

In addition to them, there is also Liuhe Qinglong, who is under Yuan Xian's tutelage and has acquired magical skills and greatly improved strength.

It stands to reason that with Liuhe Qinglong's combat power, it would be difficult for them to participate in such a battle between the strongest warriors in the martial arts world, but in fact, they are an extremely important part of this siege.

Because the "Qiankun Great Array" that Liuhe Qinglong learned was taught by Wei Qingqingqing, the founder of Zizai Sect, who kept it in order to prevent Zhuge Zhengwo, his most outstanding disciple, from straying into the evil path and bringing disaster to the people.

Once the six of them gather together and perform this miraculous formation of "Six-direction Azure Dragon, Qiankun White Tiger, creating something out of nothing, and echoing from beginning to end", they will be able to restrain Zhuge Zhengwo's unparalleled achievements and make it difficult for him to bring out his full strength.

In the previous assassinations, the masters of Cai Jing's side used this large formation as their base, constantly going out into battle, leisurely and gradually consuming Zhuge Zhengwo's internal energy.

As soon as this question was asked, Cai Jing knew that he was talking nonsense.

If this group of people could still play a role, how could the people in the Grand Tutor's Mansion be unaware of Zhuge Zhengwo's movements?
But this also involves another problem. With Zhuge Zhengwo's current strength, how could he break through the Liuhe Qinglong formation silently and subdue Mi Cangqiong and Fang Yingkan, preventing them from even sending out any news?

When Cai Jing thought of this, he was shocked at first, and then happy. He was happy that he did not act rashly and fall into Zhuge Zhengwo's trap, wasting his men's strength in vain, but let Fang Yingkan and others take the blame.

After all, Cai Jing had long known that Fang Yingkan had ambitions, and the Youqiao Group in the court also relied on Eunuch Mi's status as the emperor's close attendant to compete with him for favor.

Now that Youqiao Group has been destroyed, it is naturally a great joy for Cai Jing.

The second good news was that by escaping like this, Zhuge undoubtedly abandoned his position and reputation in the court.

As soon as he left, Cai Jing used countless means to frame him, and even harmed those loyal officials who still supported Zhuge.

Moreover, since Zhuge was willing to abandon the Shenhou Mansion that he had run for decades, it meant that his trump card had indeed been exhausted.

In this case, this "Six-Five Divine Marquis" who was once famous and single-handedly supported the righteous path is nothing more than a stray dog!
Cai Jing and Zhuge had been enemies for decades, and Cai Jing had almost never gained any advantage over Zhuge. He had never thought that one day he would be able to gain the upper hand over Zhuge Zhengwo.

In his imagination, even if he wanted to defeat this man, he would have to go through an extremely arduous, hard, and bitter battle.

Although he knew that a large part of this came from the help of King Zuo Wu, Cai Jing still felt indescribable happiness and joy in his heart.

Zhuge, ah Zhuge, you have finally come to this day.

You actually have this day!
In his joy, Cai Jing even saw Zhuge Zhengwo's miserable death, and even his disgraced reputation and eternal infamy.

He suddenly raised his head, his face extremely excited, and uttered one word in a decisive tone:

"Chase!"

At this moment, compared to the prime minister who is the head of the civil officials, Cai Jing is more like a majestic general who gives orders and has 100,000 soldiers in his arms.

Half an incense stick of time ago, in the Mansion of the Divine Marquis.

The Shenhou Mansion, which was once prosperous, is now in a state of ruin. After several major wars, most of the houses and halls are now in ruins.

The pond and garden where Xu Xing once met Tie Shou and Zhuge was also lonely and desolate, with withered lotus leaves and fallen leaves all over the ground.

Beside the pond garden, the remaining masters of the Shenhou Mansion gathered together.

At this time, Leng Xue, Yan Hunling and other masters of the Shenhou Palace had been sent out to support the Beggars' Sect, and now only a few people were left with Zhuge.

They were his four best friends, Shu Wuxi, Shu Dakeng, his brother Shu Lancan, Dashigong, and his eldest disciple Wuqing.

Looking at Ge Shulancan lying unconscious on the ground, Zhuge Zhengwo slowly withdrew his hand, his face heavy, and he sighed:
"Brother Yuan's 'Heartbroken Arrow Technique' has already reached perfection. Even if you, Dashigong, use 'Book Review Technique', plus Master Shu's 'Shoulder-to-Shoulder Magic Skill', and with the help of Dakeng's 'Crying and Laughing Fingers', it is still difficult to completely suppress it."

This divine marquis, who has always attached great importance to appearance and has an immortal demeanor, has a face that is even whiter than the snow-white robe he wears.

In the recent serial assassinations, Zhuge Zhengwo, alone, fought against a number of top strong men including "Seven Sword Gods", "Ten Thousand Enemies", "King of Calling to the Sky", "King of the First Line", "Old Zhang Fei", Mi Cangqiong, etc., and suffered internal injuries.

These people were extremely afraid of Zhuge Zhengwo's hidden strength, so they just took turns to fight, relying on the "Six-Harmony Azure Dragon Universe Formation" to use their numerical advantage to consume Zhuge Zhengwo's internal strength, and never engaged in a tangle with him. They advanced step by step cautiously and were impeccable.

Surrounded by enemies, Zhuge Zhengwo was under the suppression of the "Qiankun Formation". Faced with this kind of relentless battle, he naturally had no time to completely recover from his injuries.

Moreover, every time he made a move, he would forcefully suppress his injuries and pretend to be calm and composed.

Although this move was incomprehensible to Cai Jing and others, it also made Zhuge Zhengwo's internal injuries even more serious.

If he didn't have the extraordinary magical skill of "Half Brocade" which could accelerate the healing of injuries and suppress them, he would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, Zhuge Zheng was really exhausted after the long battle.
After all, he is still a human being, not a god.

Only in front of Dashi Gong and others could Zhuge not hide his weakness and exhaustion temporarily.

Dashigong and the other two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In the past, when Ling Luoshi was powerful in the capital, he had used the "General's Order" palm technique to fight against Dashigong, injuring him badly.

Even so, with the help of Shu Wuxi and Shu Dakeng, Dashigong was able to suppress his injuries and his life was not in danger.

Who could have thought that the arrow shot by Yuan Shisan from across half of Kaifeng City would be even more powerful than Ling Luoshi's close-range, fierce and powerful "General's Order" palm technique, which could be considered the best in the world?
The most terrifying thing about this arrow is that it came without any reason, appearing out of nowhere and making it difficult to guard against. If Yuan Shisan were to shoot it again, the strong men on Zhuge's side would be seriously injured and unable to fight before they even engage in a head-on battle.

Shu Wuxi sighed:
"Yuan Shisan, this bastard!"

After cursing, he stamped his feet repeatedly, but there was nothing he could do. Dashigong and Shu Dakeng also had gloomy faces.

These old men from the Zizai Sect knew Zhuge Zhengwo's background and understood that the Shenhou Mansion was now an empty city. Their purpose was just to divert the other party's attention.

But under the limit of one arrow of Yuan Shisan, this strategy could no longer be carried out. Cai Jing, Zuo Wuwang and others would certainly be alert.

It can be said that now is the final moment.

When Zhuge Zhengwo heard the name "Yuan Shisan", he also sighed:
“Junior Brother Yuan is a natural talent. If he hadn’t been so obsessed, he would have surpassed me and caught up with Master Wei. It’s only natural that he has made such progress now.

It’s a pity that although he has made a breakthrough in martial arts, he is still helping the tyrant..."

At this point, Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head, changed the subject, and said comfortingly:
"However, I have used the Zizai Sect's great method to dissipate part of the power of the 'Heartbreaking Arrow Technique'. In this way, Qiu Mian's life is at least safe."

Shu Wuxi turned around alertly, looked at Zhuge Zhengwo, frowned, and said solemnly:

"Is the power of Yuan Shisan's arrow technique so easy to remove?
You have been through a lot of fighting, you are exhausted, and your vitality has been depleted. If you continue to help Qiu Mian to suppress his injuries, I am afraid it will be terrible if we fight again later..."

As he spoke, Shu Wuxi looked at Geshu Qiumian's silent face, shook his head, and said with grief but determination:
"If we really can't do anything, all we can do is..."

Zhuge Zheng certainly understood what Shu Wuxi meant, but he still shook his head and held Shu Wuxi down with one hand.

Zhuge smiled slightly after Shu Wuxi calmed down.

That pale face looked extremely miserable, but still full of infectious confidence.

His chest rose and fell violently for a while. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he slowly spoke:
"I only need to treat half of Qiu Mian's injuries. Besides, who said we should stay here and fight to the death with Cai Jing and Prince Zuo Wu?"

Zhuge Zhengwo looked at the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Zuo Wuwang Mansion in the distance, and smiled slyly:
“Cai Yuanchang and Zhao Lie are both extremely smart people. Even though they know that I am already showing signs of fatigue, they will definitely gather all their strength first. Only after they are fully prepared will they come to the Divine Marquis Mansion to kill me.

This time difference is our chance, Wuxi, Dashi, let's take this opportunity to escape."

The shameful word "escape" sounded so light and casual when it came out of Zhuge Zhengwo's mouth.

"escape?"

Shu Wuxi and Shu Dakeng both opened their eyes wide. They didn't expect Zhuge Zhengwo to say such a thing.

Dashi Gong looked at Zhuge suspiciously, and suddenly asked:
"Now Fang Ying sees that group of people are watching covetously outside the mansion. I don't know how many people are watching you in the whole Kaifeng city. You don't want to stay here as bait and let us go, right?"

After hearing this, Shuangshu and Wuqing nodded unconsciously.

Based on their understanding of Zhuge Zhengwo, they naturally knew that he was capable of doing such a thing.

Zhuge Zhengwo smiled heartily:
“If things are impossible, I will take the lead, but now, it has not come to that point.

Fang Yingkan and others, I have a solution. We should leave immediately before Cai Jing and others take action. "

At this point, Shu Wuxi and the others already believed it, but Wuqing still suspected that Zhuge Zhengyi was planning to sacrifice himself to allow them to escape.

He was more keenly aware that Zhuge Zhengwo had intentionally or unintentionally overlooked another key point in his words. He could not help but raise his head, look directly at Zhuge Zhengwo, and asked solemnly:
"Uncle, even if you can deal with Fang Yingkan, how are you going to deal with the 'Six Harmonies Azure Dragon Universe Formation'?"

"Er Shu Yi Shi" also reacted.

Zhuge Zhengwo has now fallen into such a situation, largely because of the restraint of this great formation. If he does not break the "Qiankun Formation", how can he escape?

Zhuge Zhengwo smiled slightly and was about to speak when he heard a lazy voice sounding in the garden.

"Just focus on escaping. I will figure out a way to form the Liuhe Azure Dragon Formation."

Hearing this voice, Shu Wuxi and the others were all excited. Wuqing even turned his wheelchair and faced the source of the voice, saying excitedly:

"Uncle!"

But in the dry and silent pond, there was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and wearing an ordinary gray robe, standing on a withered lotus leaf.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed that this person had been here for some time. However, even though "Er Shu and Yi Shi" were considered to be people with outstanding martial arts skills, they did not notice his presence.

The person who could be addressed as "Uncle Master" by Wuqing was naturally the eldest brother among the previous generation of disciples of Zizai Sect, "Lazy and Disabled Master" Ye Aichan.

If one had not seen it with one's own eyes, no one would have believed that this master of unrivaled martial arts would actually look like this. His Dharma body was like a tent, standing there plainly, yet no one could see or identify it.

Master Lancan and his eldest disciple, who is famous all over the world and ranked first among the "Seven Great Bandits", are completely different, and it can even be said that they have completely different styles.

Shen Huchan is so heroic and imposing. As long as he stands there, everyone can see his confidence and self-confidence. Everyone knows that he is someone not to be trifled with. Everyone understands that this tiger-like man is Shen Huchan.

But no matter where Master Lancan went, he would blend in with the people and things on the spot at that time, so that they were completely indistinguishable from each other.

He is the perfect embodiment of the phrase "living in harmony with the world".

The moment they saw Master Lancan, the other four felt relieved.

As members of the Zizai Sect, they naturally knew that Master Lancan was extremely skilled in formations.

With this expert among experts helping out, breaking the Qiankun formation of Liuhe Qinglong would be a piece of cake.

What's more, Master Lancan was the original owner of this formation.

Seeing Zhuge Zhengwo's miserable state, Ye Aichan sighed and looked ashamed:

"Junior brother..."

Zhuge Zheng: Of course I know what Ye Aichan is going to say.

When Wei Qingqingqing created this "Qiankun Formation", he originally left it to Ye Aichan, so that he, the senior brother, could restrict Zhuge Zhengwo.

But at that time, the "Four Old Famous Detectives" had a very close friendship, and were more like brothers than blood brothers.

Due to Zhuge Zhengwo's trust in his nature, Ye Aichan never thought of using the "Qiankun Formation" to deal with this junior brother, nor did he ever guard against Yuan Xian.

After all, in addition to worrying that Zhuge would fall into the evil way, Wei Qingqing also saw that Yuan Xian was deeply obsessed and extreme, so she taught him the "Duhuo Divine Art" which can only save people but not hurt the enemy, hoping to change Yuan Xian's character.

Moreover, after learning this "Duhuo Divine Art", Yuan Shisanxian could no longer perform the "Liuhe Qinglong Formation" himself.

Otherwise, the two extraordinary forces would collide in his body, destroying his foundation and turning him into a complete cripple.

Therefore, without Ye Aichan's investigation, this unique formation that was specifically designed to restrain Zhuge Zhengwo was secretly learned by Yuan Shisanxian, who then taught it to his six disciples, eventually causing Zhuge Zhengwo to fall into his current state.

Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head to stop his senior brother from blaming himself.

He has always been a practical and pragmatic person, so he would not waste time on things that have already happened and cannot be undone. He only asked:

"Has everything been arranged over at Sweet Mountain?"

Ye Aichan's expression also became solemn:
"Second Junior Brother has teamed up with 'Grandma Divine Needle' to set up a battle array at Tianshan, and the rest of the troops are also in place. Let's go now."

Zhuge nodded and looked outside the gate of Shenhou Mansion.

At this time, outside the Shenhou Mansion, in a shop, Fang Yingkan, who was wearing a tight martial arts robe, was staring at the gate of the Shenhou Mansion.

The young marquis, who had always been calm and composed, as if he could take anything for granted, was now tense and his right hand kept stroking the hilt of the long sword at his waist, looking a little anxious.

However, Mi Cangqiong, a high-ranking eunuch in the palace and a close attendant of the emperor, was leisurely picking up the peanuts on the plate, peeling and chewing them continuously, with a sound between his lips and teeth that seemed like he was biting into life.

Mi Cangqiong glanced at Fang Yingkan, handed him a pot of wine, and asked:
"Young Marquis, would you like some wine?"

Fang Yingkan quickly took the wine jug, tilted his head back, drank the entire jug of wine, and wiped his lips with his red sleeves, which was not like his usual style.

After drinking this pot of wine, Fang Yingkan's brows became more anxious.

Mi Cangqiong knew the reason.

Ever since the night of Fu Zongshu's death, Fang Yingkan had often lost control of his emotions after being "beaten" by Zhuge Zhengwo in the same way he treated his younger generations. It was as if there was always fire burning in his heart, or as if he had raised a vicious beast.

Every time he felt hatred rising up, he would go to the Heavenly Prison and torture a prisoner to death in order to temporarily dispel the anger and murderous intent in his heart.

Fang Yingkan is a person who thinks very highly of himself.

Given his age, his status, and his achievements, there is really no reason for him not to think highly of himself.

Even when dealing with the two dominant forces in the capital's martial arts world, "Liufenbantang" and "Jinfengxiyulou", he was able to maintain an arrogant and even detached attitude, treating them as playthings in his hands.

People in the underworld therefore call him "the man who can change clouds and rain with a flip of his hand". Since he joined forces with Mi Cangqiong to establish the "Youqiao Group", Fang Yingkan has truly regarded himself as a man who can change clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.

Fang Yingkan believed that one day he would be able to overthrow Cai Jing, defeat Zhuge Liang and truly hold power.

Because he is much younger than these two giants, he still has plenty of time to waste.

Youth is confidence, youth is capital.

But such self-confidence was shattered by Zhuge Zhengwo that night.

Facing this divine marquis, he, a young marquis, couldn't even draw his sword.

In fact, Fang Yingkan knew that it was not that he could not pull it out.

I dare not pull it out.

It was also on that day that he understood that no matter who was in the capital or in the world who could truly "turn the hands to make clouds and rain", it was definitely not him.

After knowing this, Fang Yingkan developed an irresistible desire to kill Zhuge Zhengwo.

Fang Yingkan knew that this Divine Marquis had become a sky that he could not break and a calamity that he could not overcome. If he could not kill him, then his martial arts realm, power and status would not advance at all.

But Fang Yingkan is not someone who is willing to admit defeat. He even saw a glimmer of opportunity for improvement from such pressure.

Fang Yingkan had a premonition:
As long as he can kill Zhuge, not only will his martial arts realm have a breakthrough, but his future path to power will also be smooth sailing!
That was why he cooperated with Cai Jing so actively and volunteered to take on the task of guarding the Shenhou Mansion, just to be able to kill Zhuge Zhengwo with his own hands when he was at his weakest.

Mi Cangqiong couldn't help but shook his head when he saw his expression. He didn't say anything, but just handed over another peanut.

After Fang Yingkan peeled the peanut and put it into his mouth, the old man slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Zhuge Zhengwo is not an easy character to deal with after all. There is no guarantee that he will not have some hidden tricks. Even if you want to kill him yourself, you must be careful to avoid falling into the trap of this old fox."

Fang Yingkan chewed the peanuts carefully, still paying attention to the gate of Shenhou Mansion. He nodded slightly, but the chewing sound became a little louder.

Looking at Fang Yingkan like this, Mi Cangqiong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Because eunuchs have no power, they attach great importance to masculinity and pursue anything that has something to do with masculinity.

The reason why adopting adopted sons became a trend in the palace was mostly due to this.

Mi Cangqiong was different from these eunuchs. He was abducted into the palace when he was a young man. Because the previous emperor liked his appearance, he ordered castration and he became a eunuch.

He has experienced the feeling of being a man, and naturally appreciates those who are masculine, heroic, and have a strong personality.

Fang Yingkan is undoubtedly one of them, and an extremely outstanding one.

He can grab everything by any means necessary, but knows how to retreat and wait for the right opportunity when necessary. He is conceited but not complacent, positive but not just optimistic. He can be said to be very versatile and can advance and retreat freely.

This is the contemporary hero in Mi Cangqiong's eyes, so he cooperates with him, because he sincerely believes that Fang Yingkan will be able to accomplish great things in the future.

But now it seems that the young marquis is still young after all and needs some training and tempering.

However, in Mi Cangqiong's opinion, this is not a bad thing.

But just as the two were talking, a gentle voice was heard coming in from the door.

It was like a breeze, swirling one after another, and coming to the ears of the two people in an extremely gentle, light and relaxed manner.

"If you want to kill me yourself, why don't you just do it?"

Mi Cangqiong and Fang Yingkan were stunned at the same time.

Just as he was horrified, he saw a wooden spear silently piercing through the wall, stabbing into the house, and stabbing Fang Yingkan's chest.

Along with the spear came the chuckle of an old man.

"Ever since I heard that the young marquis was known as the 'Divine Spear and Blood Sword', I have always wanted to ask you a question.

Don't you know that I, Zhuge Xiaohua, also use a gun?"

That's all he said.

Fang Yingkan looked like a dead body.
