I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Shu land.

Jianmen Pass.

As a crucial pass for those entering Sichuan from the Northwest, Jianmen Pass holds a vital strategic position.

The entire pass is built between two mountains, making it impregnable by even a single man!

However, half a month ago, the entire pass was filled with panic because they received news that Liangzhou had gathered 100,000 cavalrymen and was rushing towards Jianmen Pass.

Liangzhou was originally the Liangzhou Kingdom, and its people were known for their fierce and unruly nature. Thirty years ago, the ruler of Liangzhou led his subjects to submit to the Great Zhou.

Even after submitting to the Great Zhou, Liangzhou still enjoys a high degree of autonomy.

Taxes, laws, and conscription within the state... the Great Zhou had no right to interfere; everything was decided by the King of Liangzhou with a single word.

The King of Liangzhou was surnamed Wang.

When it comes to the King of Liangzhou, most people may not have a strong impression of him.

But when it comes to another person surnamed Wang, everyone knows him: the lawless Wang Hu!

Wang Hu was the third brother of the King of Liangzhou!

Rumbling--

One hundred thousand cavalrymen charged forward with tremendous force, causing the entire earth to tremble.

From afar, they saw these 100,000 cavalrymen rushing towards Jianmen Pass beneath their feet.

The guards at Jianmen Pass were terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling. Some of them couldn't even hold their weapons properly.

The fighting strength of the Liangzhou army can be considered the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Western Regions have been paying tribute to the Great Zhou for so many years, thanks in no small part to the Liangzhou army's years of conquest.

"General, we in Shu haven't provoked these plague gods. What are they doing here in Shu?"

"Exactly, what are they doing in our Shu region? Are they planning a rebellion in Liangzhou and attacking Shu first?"

The guards all looked at the general standing on the city wall.

The general guarding Jianmen Pass remained motionless, not because he was unafraid, but because he was terrified and didn't know what to do.

Although Jianmen Pass is said to be impregnable by one man, it will fall to these plague gods before nightfall, and all of them will die.

In a daze, 100,000 cavalrymen were already at the city gates.

During the raid, 100,000 cavalrymen created a cloud of dust, making a tremendous spectacle.

But when they stopped, they remained motionless, standing in perfect formation, truly an iron army.

Not long after, two riders slowly emerged from the cavalry formation.

One rider carried the royal family's banner, while the other was the general of these 100,000 cavalrymen.

Wang Baoqi slowly rode forward on his warhorse, holding a riding whip in his hand, and looked at the situation at Jianmen Pass with a smile.

He waved his hand, and the guards carrying the flag behind him shouted at the top of their lungs, "The Marquis from beyond the pass has arrived! Open the city gates immediately to welcome him!"

Marquis of Guanwai?

Isn't that Wang Bao from Liangzhou?

The fourth brother of the King of Liangzhou!

The Marquis of Guanwai has come in person.

Liangzhou is really going to rebel.

The guards were about to light the beacon fire.

It was used to warn the surrounding cities.

"stop!"

The guards at Jianmen Pass hurriedly stopped them.

Once the beacon fires are lit...

There was no turning back on this matter.

He has no desire to be a loyal subject!

He just wanted to live.

However, before that, he wanted to find out exactly what Wang Bao wanted to do.

So he forced a smile, cupped his hands and said, "I was unaware of the arrival of the Marquis of Guannei. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

Changing the subject, he asked, "May I ask what brings the Marquis of Guannei to my Jianmen Pass?"

Wang Bao remained silent, then waved his hand again. His personal guards behind him roared, "By order of the Crown Prince, the six great families of Jiangnan have rebelled. Our Liangzhou army is requesting passage through Shu to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan!"

Upon hearing this, the general guarding Jianmen Pass couldn't help but frown.

Crown Prince's Decree?

Why didn't he receive the Crown Prince's orders?

Logically, they should have received the message and waited for Wang Bao to arrive before letting him pass.

Also, when did the six great families of Jiangnan rebel? Why doesn't he know about it?

"Please forgive me, Lord Guannei, but I have not received any relevant imperial decree and cannot open the city gates. Please ask me to pass through other cities to enter Shu."

Wang Bao's face immediately darkened, and he couldn't help but curse, "You son of a bitch! Jianmen Pass is the shortest route into Sichuan. Where else do you expect me to go? If this delays the suppression of the rebellion, can you take responsibility?"

On the city wall, the Jianmen Pass commander looked embarrassed: "But this humble general really has not received any relevant imperial edict and cannot open the city gate."

Snapped!

Wang Bao cracked his whip and roared, "Open the city gates now, or I will lead my army to attack the city immediately. I believe it won't take long."

Upon hearing this, the garrison commander felt as if his sky had fallen. He was in a dilemma: opening the city gate was bad, but not opening it was also bad.

Wang Bao roared again, "Why aren't you opening the gates? Do you insist on razing your city to the ground by me?"

The garrison commander trembled with fear. After much hesitation, he finally ordered his men to open the city gates.

The city gates opened, and the garrison commander personally went out to greet them.

Wang Bao, mounted on his warhorse, looked down at the garrison commander: "Do you perhaps think that I am falsely issuing the Crown Prince's order, and in reality, plotting a rebellion?"

The garrison commander lowered his head, trembling with fear, and cupped his hands, saying, "This humble general dares not, please investigate thoroughly, Your Excellency."

Snapped--

The whip lashed the defending general to the ground. Wang Bao spat and led the way into the city.

The 100,000-strong army behind them entered the city one after another...

……

Time flies, and it was already the night before the snake-slaying ceremony began.

Deep within the dungeon of Dragon Tiger Gate, bursts of hearty laughter and a woman's silvery laughter could be heard from time to time.

"My good disciple, did you learn the few moves that the drunkard taught you just now?"

"Yes, I've learned it. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sword Immortal."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's a small matter. I was just worried that no one would inherit my mantle. The disciples in my sect are really dull-witted and can't be taught. They really can't be taught. Unlike you, who understands everything at a glance."

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sword Immortal."

"..."

At the corner outside the cell, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu heard these sounds and their faces turned extremely ugly.

Not long ago, the sword immortal Li Fuyao suddenly showed up at their door and beat them up without saying a word.

Then, Li Fuyao swaggered into the dungeon and spent his days chatting, drinking, and teaching disciples with the old snake.

"Brother, are we just going to let this drunkard stay here indefinitely?" Zhang Hu asked.

"Don't speak. The Grandmaster's hearing is amazing. We'll talk after we go outside," Zhang Long replied.

Zhang Hu nodded and followed behind Zhang Long; the two quickly left the dungeon.

They eventually arrived at the edge of the huge martial arts training plaza inside the gate.

"Brother, what exactly does that drunkard mean? I think he's deliberately trying to ruin our plans. Should I go and invite Bai Jinghong over so he can keep this drunkard in check?"

In this world today, only a grandmaster can restrain another grandmaster.

Zhang Long replied, "Bai Jinghong is indeed a grandmaster, but he is no match for Li Fuyao. If he encounters Li Fuyao, he can only run away. Besides, Bai Jinghong has long since disappeared. By the time he arrives, it will be too late."

"So what do we do?"

Zhang Long narrowed his eyes and said, "Even two fists can't fight four hands. On our turf, we have plenty of ways to deal with a Grandmaster!"
