Chapter 1105
Inside the He Mansion in Chengdu!
The sudden explosions in the east and west of the city caused He Zhishan and others, who were anxiously waiting there, to brave the rain and come out of the courtyard.
Under the pitch-black night sky, watching the towering flames from afar, He Zhishan and the gentry representatives and officials who were preparing to rise up with him could not hide their excitement!
"Holy Monk, has the attack begun over there?"
"Judging from the direction, it should be the residence and lodging of the dozen or so officers and deputy officers of the city defense battalion and patrol battalion."
"Making such a big commotion?"
"You know nothing."
"Only in this way can we attract the attention of [Kui Dou] and the remnants of the Shudu Demoness."
"Thus, it provided favorable conditions for our successful uprising in the north of the city."
"I see."
"The holy monk's men are putting themselves in great danger."
Upon hearing this, He Zhishan said coldly, "If you want to achieve something great, how can you not take risks and sacrifice some people?"
"But in the long run, it's worth it."
"Yes, Lord He is right."
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just as He Zhishan finished speaking, a soldier in armor rushed over to report.
"Reporting to Lord He, we have just received news..."
"The holy monk has succeeded and is engaged in fierce fighting with the demon concubine's people in the west and east of the city."
"A large number of people from the [Kui Dou] faction have been purged."
Upon hearing this, He Zhishan immediately said "good" three times.
"Everything is ready!"
After speaking, He Zhishan, who had received the Shu King's sword from his attendant, led the group to the front courtyard.
At this time, he and his representatives of various gentry and officials, along with thousands of his loyal followers, gathered here.
He gripped the Shu King's sword tightly in one hand, without uttering a single word.
He immediately shouted, "All soldiers, follow me in this uprising!"
"Follow me to the death!"
With a series of orders issued, thousands of assassins rushed to the city defense camp and the patrol camp.
The city defense and patrol battalion generals, who had previously secretly pledged their loyalty to the King of Shu, quickly responded.
While gathering their loyal followers, they also, with the help of assassins, purged the Shu Princess's people from the camp.
“We are wise generals and wise ministers.”
"It is only right that we should be loyal to the King of Shu."
"Alas, the bewitching concubine has usurped the power of the King of Shu."
"Today, I, your official, will punish the rebels on behalf of the king."
"Those who are willing to join me in suppressing the rebellion will be pardoned for their past actions, and will be rewarded according to their merits after the mission is accomplished."
"If anyone dares to be stubborn and unyielding..."
"Kill without mercy!"
In order to quickly take control of the capital city of Chengdu, He Zhishan personally took action and used coercion and inducement to deal with the garrison commanders.
They pinned their hopes on quickly gaining firm control of the troops in Chengdu.
Only in this way can we cope with possible changes.
'bass.'
However, He Zhishan, who was standing on the high ground trying to persuade the Chengdu garrison to surrender, had just finished shouting these words at the top of his lungs...
Several crossbow bolts pierced the night sky, heading straight for him.
"Ok?"
"Protect him, Lord He!"
Several Grandmaster-level assassins, having keenly sensed these movements, immediately used their bodies to shield him.
'Pfft. '
The crossbow bolt, imbued with primordial energy, immediately pierced their bodies.
"what……"
"Yes, there is a Heavenly Punishment level expert, assassinating from the shadows."
"Quickly, quickly cover Lord He's retreat first."
'Pah-ta-ta.'
But just as they finished speaking, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the camp.
"retreat?"
"He Zhishan..."
"You traitors, none of you will escape today!"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice and feeling the overwhelming killing intent, He Zhishan instinctively looked towards the leading general.
After recognizing the other party's face and the warhorses under his command, he exclaimed in panic, "Cao Ming?"
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
"Aren't you guys in Dazhou?"
"What? When did you return to Chengdu?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Ming, his face filled with disdain, sneered, "While you and that bald monk were plotting a rebellion, the Princess Consort of Shu urgently dispatched us back."
"what?"
When He Zhishan and the others heard these words, they all felt their scalps tingle and their spines turn cold.
It turned out that his every move was being monitored by the Princess of Shu.
In other words, Shi Qing's sudden departure from Chengdu was actually giving them an opportunity to step forward on her own initiative.
"Why don't you surrender?"
"Are we going to continue this stubborn resistance?"
'bass.'
Having already drawn his sword, Cao Ming spoke disdainfully in front of everyone.
After he finished speaking, knowing that he was going to die anyway, He Zhishan roared viciously, "My lads of Shu County..."
"Given the vile nature of this wicked concubine, even if she surrenders, she will still be held accountable later."
"Rather than being humiliated and trampled upon, it's better to fight our way out."
In order to firmly grasp power in her own hands, Princess Shi Qing of Shu implemented cruel tortures both internally and externally.
She heavily relied on the people of Guanshan, but she didn't care about the generals and gentry of Shu County.
That is why so many people echoed He Zhishan and the King of Shu's uprising.
Now, the truth is revealed.
Given that vixen's temperament, even if she surrenders now, she will still be punished later.
As He Zhishan said, it's better to take a chance than to live a cowardly life.
"Kill out."
"Correct."
"Killing one is enough to make a profit, killing two is a bonus."
"It's better than being punished by that vixen."
"kill."
Seeing this group of stubborn fools raise their knives at him, a ruthless glint flashed in Cao Ming's eyes as he pointed his blade at them and said, "Since they're courting death..."
"Then let's satisfy these traitors."
"Kill, leave no one behind."
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Several dozen breaths later, the two groups of people were locked in a fierce battle.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the elite of the Shu army. Each cavalryman was a top-notch fighter, handpicked from among hundreds, naturally giving them a superior fighting ability.
But for the commanders of the city defense battalion and patrol battalion who 'rebelled,' they had no way out.
It's either death or a bloody path forward.
In their desperate struggle, they also unleashed astonishing fighting power.
As a result, the two sides fought fiercely and relentlessly.
This was something Cao Ming had not anticipated at all.
In his plan, this mob should not be able to cause any trouble.
My Tiger and Leopard Cavalry should crush everything in their path!
But now?
As his soldiers continued to dwindle, his expression grew even more ferocious.
"He Zhishan, you bastard!"
"After this battle, I will exterminate your entire family."
"kill."
'Sizzle.'
After saying this, Cao Ming, wielding a knife, led more than ten of his trusted men to attack He Zhishan, who was being surrounded by his assassins and trying to break out of the encirclement.
And at this moment...
Standing on high ground, observing everything with a cold eye, Wang Qinian sneered, "Have the first and second groups rescue He Zhishan from the crowd."
“Lead Cao Ming and his confidants to Dachang Road.”
"The holy monk Sun Xiaoyu has led his team to set up an ambush there."
"Let's just wait for them to take the bait!"
"Yes!"
