Chapter 163: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Suddenly, there were a lot more flames in the city, scattered widely.
Just like when Tianze was released, fires broke out in many places in the royal city.
Situ Wanli was riding a horse. Except for the fire in Ji Wuye's mansion, the rest of the fires in the royal city were set by the disciples of the farming family.
Everything that was burned was the property provided to him by Cheng Jiao and controlled by the Jade Tiger.
Situ Wanli was very happy to do this.
Qianlongtang also has a lot of businesses in Xinzheng that compete with Feicuihu. By making Feicuihu suffer a loss, he can gain a lot of benefits.
Anyway, everything he did tonight would be blamed either on Tianze or Liusha, and he was having a great time setting fires.
Thinking of this, he held the horse's belly and quickly headed towards the Jubao Pavilion.
-
Jubao Pavilion is more than a thousand meters away from the General's Mansion. The soldiers guarding inside the Jubao Pavilion could only vaguely see smoke rising from the General's Mansion, and were not sure whether it was the General's Mansion that was on fire.
But soon they discovered that fires had also broken out in many places in the city, and city guards were constantly moving around the city, putting out fires and arresting people.
A young general wearing Korean standard military armor rode his warhorse to Jubao Pavilion, followed by a dozen soldiers.
In an instant, more than a dozen killers appeared from Jubao Pavilion and stopped the young general.
"Password! You are a guest!"
"You Are the One!"
"What are you here for?"
"The general has ordered us to go to the general's mansion immediately to encircle and suppress the enemy!"
The Night Bird Killers looked at each other.
One of the assassins in black, wearing a bird-beak mask, stepped forward and said, "The general ordered us to guard the Treasure Pavilion. No matter what happens, we are not allowed to leave!"
"The general did not order you to go. He ordered me to lead the city guards stationed here to encircle and suppress the enemy."
The thin boss stumbled out and asked in shock, "Who dares to attack the general's mansion? Who is this general? Where does he serve in the city guards?"
"I am Wang Gang, the commander of the west gate of Xinzheng. I am a direct subordinate of the general. Do any of my comrades recognize me?"
A soldier with a sword came out from Jubao Pavilion.
"Brother Wang, it's you. In that case, brothers, gather together and go to the General's Mansion to encircle and destroy the bandits!"
Wang Gang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xian's face was solemn: "It's not hard, you and I are both working for the general."
Wang Gang smiled inexplicably: "Wang Gang will go first."
After saying that, he turned back holding the horse reins.
Zhao Xian did not dare to delay and marched at high speed with the two hundred assembled city guards.
Seeing that nothing happened, the Bird Killer disappeared from the spot.
Wang Gang turned the corner and stepped into a small courtyard. This was a farmer's stronghold in Xinzheng.
Situ Wanli took off his armor and disguise mask, looked at the real Ximen guard Wang Gang who was knocked unconscious, and a small group of soldiers beside him, and shook his head.
"This stronghold is abandoned. We will leave after repairing it."
He didn't intend to kill to silence the witness. It wasn't because he was merciful, but he simply didn't want to cause more work for Cheng Jiao.
Who wants to be stained with blood if he has nothing to do?
After the city guards around Jubao Pavilion left, Tianze and his two men walked out from the darkness.
Tianze took the antidote he got from the disciples of Qi Jue Tang one stick of incense before, and the Gu in his body was quickly eliminated. Not only did he recover his normal strength, but his skills also improved a bit.
This time Tianze did not show off his skills by sneaking in, he was going to fight hard!
When the Hundred Birds Killer saw Tianze appear, he assassinated him without hesitation.
Tianze smiled cruelly and waved six snake bone chains in the sky.
Dozens of bird killers were well-trained. Seeing that Tianze was killing unstoppable, they took out their powerful bows and crossbows and shot Tianze to death.
The corpse-driving demon rang the soul-calling bell, and the dead bird killers came back to life, surrounded them, and blocked the arrows from the sky, leaving the three of them unharmed.
The noise outside frightened the thin boss so much that he trembled constantly and shouted at the thugs in Jubao Pavilion to get out.
These thugs were all experts in the Bainiao controlled gang. They drew their swords and held crossbows to surround the Tianze trio.
After Zi Nu saw Tian Ze taking action in secret, she turned back to Yan Lingji's courtyard.
"It's time to start."
Yan Lingji patted Wushuang and said, "Wushuang, start working."
Wushuang stretched his body, uttered a muffled "hmm", and entered the secret passage, followed by six disciples of Qijuetang and six daughters of Zilanxuan who were good in martial arts.
The secret room in Jubao Pavilion where gold coins are stored has a door that is sealed with a copper gate weighing a thousand pounds, so even Wushuang cannot open it.
Although it is called the Thousand Jin Copper Gate, the weight of the entire gate is definitely ten thousand Jin, or even more.
The reason why Jade Tiger had the courage to build this door was because he had too much money, so he was willing to spend thousands of gold coins to build a door.
Unfortunately, the strongest fortress in the world is often not breached by the enemy from the outside.
I have to say that the Emerald Tiger was very thoughtful. Granite was piled around the secret room, which caused a lot of trouble for the excavation of quicksand.
But with the detailed drawings provided by Madam Mingzhu, the design by the chief designer of the Wei Zhuang secret passage, and the analysis and assistance of Han Fei and Zhang Liang, the weakest points of the secret room were found.
With Wushuang's natural divine power, it would be enough to chisel it open in a few breaths.
A dull sound was heard in the secret room where the gold coins were stored in the Jubao Pavilion. After a while, a big hole was smashed open by Wushuang, who crawled in. Following Yan Lingji's instructions, he carried boxes of gold coins without hesitation and piled them at the hole.
The secret passage can only accommodate one normal person. All twelve of them are experts. Although they are not well-known in the martial arts world, they have opened up several extraordinary meridians and have considerable strength. They can carry a cash box weighing hundreds of kilograms with ease.
-
Tianze took the lead in the attack, while the King of Hundred Poisons poisoned the Hundred Birds Killer and the Treasure Pavilion thugs to add debuffs, and the Corpse Exorcist kept chanting spells to summon the dead killers and thugs.
The three of them cooperated skillfully and quickly wiped out the group of monsters.
The thin shopkeeper who witnessed everything was almost terrified.
After Tianze grabbed her neck with his free hands, she almost fainted.
"Tell me! Where is the money in the Treasure Pavilion?"
Seeing that the thin shopkeeper was unable to speak because of his pinch, Tianze snorted coldly and released his claws.
The thin shopkeeper coughed hard, already losing his mind. Facing Tianze's cold snake eyes, he said tremblingly, "They are all... on the second floor."
Tianze grabbed the thin shopkeeper and went to the second floor of Jubao Pavilion. Looking at the entire floor filled with gold, silver, jewelry and a pile of cash boxes, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Tianze noticed the sounds of carriage wheels grinding on the ground and horses neighing outside the Jubao Pavilion, his snake-like pupils narrowed.
"Corpse Exorcist, you will control the zombies to replace the people in Quicksand in a while, understand?"
The corpse-driving demon was startled: "I know."
Many people from the Qi Jue Tang got off the fifteen oversized carriages, ignored Tianze, and started looting directly.
Tianze didn't care. Instead, he did it himself and used six snake bone chains to move the cash box inside.
Wushuang was moving the cash boxes in the secret room with great effort, while Tianze was excitedly moving the cash boxes on the second floor. They were both working very hard.
Soon, more than 200 money boxes were piled up in the courtyard. Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji smiled at each other. A quick glance showed that there were about 500,000 gold coins.
As for Tianze, he basically threw all the valuable things on the carriage.
There were fifteen extra-large carriages, each pulled by two good horses.
Five of the carriages were empty, specifically to attract the attention of the city guards.
The remaining ten carriages were all full, which made Tianze extremely excited.
Even with his useless brain, he could tell that there were at least three or five hundred thousand gold coins in there, which was comparable to a country's treasury, especially the treasury of a powerful country like Qin, Zhao, and Chu.
It is enough to mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses, and even more than enough to fight a national war.
In General Ji Wuye's mansion, Mo Ya Yingge and Bai Feng were facing each other. They didn't say a word, but their eyes were constantly communicating.
They could see the confusion in Bai Feng's eyes, and they were equally confused.
Now Mo Ya and Bai Feng have basically done everything they should do, but Wei Zhuang and Jing Wei have not come out yet.
If this continues, Ji Wuye will not be able to wait any longer. After all, Ji Wuye is the owner, and his mansion is burning, but he has not made a sound. Anyone can tell that there is something wrong.
Ji Wuye couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and looked at Mo Ya and Ying Ge who were confronting Bai Feng below. His hawk-like eyes scanned the darkness, but still didn't notice any movement.
The Blood-Robed Marquis laughed, as if mocking Ji Wuye's stupidity.
"General, perhaps Wei Zhuang and Jing Wei did not intend to show up, and I am sorry to disappoint you."
Ji Wuye snorted coldly and was about to verbally attack the Blood-Cloaked Marquis when something suddenly happened below.
Jing Wei and Wei Zhuang were harvesting Ji Wuye's personal guards on the left and right.
Mo Ya Yingge, who noticed this, breathed a sigh of relief. They really thought that they were tricked by Cheng Jiao into coming to the General's Mansion to make fun of him.
The flesh on Ji Wuye's face trembled, and he was obviously very excited.
"My Lord, they are already here, let's do it too."
A Hundred Birds killer took the order and retreated. Soon, many military equipment appeared in Ji Wuye's mansion. Strong bows and crossbows were standard equipment, and there were also sniper crossbows as thick as gun barrels.
Mo Ya shouted: "Be careful!"
Jingwei and Wei Zhuang glanced towards Mo Ya, wondering who the little crow was asking to be careful.
The Blood-Robed Marquis was very impressive. He took one step at a time with ice on his face and appeared in front of Jingwei in an instant.
"Mr. Jingwei, long time no see. Are you interested in working for me?"
He was a very patient man, and Jingwei's strength and beauty made Xueyi Hou a little impatient. Anyone who had a woman like Jingwei would be proud.
Jingwei's eyes were cold: "You're just being long-winded!"
Pink sword energy slashed towards the Blood-Robed Marquis, who calmly summoned countless icy thorns to protect him.
Jingwei was disdainful: "What a gimmick!"
The sword energy she had swung before was just a casual test, and she hadn't used her full strength at all.
When Xueyi Hou heard Jingwei's words, he was about to say something, but Jingwei had already come in front of him. The cold light of Jingwei's sword flashed and passed by half an inch away from his throat, making Xueyi Hou break out in a cold sweat.
His carelessness almost caused him to die on the spot. Only then did he realize that although they were both grandmasters and top masters in the world, there was still a huge gap between them.
For a top martial arts master like Xue Yi Hou who is at the lower level, there is enough time and Jing Wei is fully confident that he can separate Xue Yi Hou's head and body within thirty moves.
The Blood-Robed Marquis's face darkened and she drew out the red and white two-handed sword that had once belonged to her mother, the Marquises.
Jingwei's sword attack just now made him very angry, and a feeling of humiliation rose from the bottom of his heart.
He no longer thought about trying to make Jingwei serve him, he just wanted Jingwei to die now!
