I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 203: Ju Feng Dao Zuo San He

A battalion of cavalry was quickly assembled. After hearing the news, Guan Shouchang and Zhang Yide from the neighboring military camp also rushed over at full speed.

"Your Highness, are you going to war? Why don't you call me, Old Zhang?"

Zhang Yide asked with wide eyes, holding the spear.

"We're just capturing a group of assassins, not going to war."

"Catching assassins? That's fine, I, Old Zhang, am good at catching assassins.

Huh? Is this girl Hongying going too? With her around, the enemy will definitely be vulnerable."

It seems that Zhang Yide also had a duel with Yang Hongying, and was defeated wholeheartedly.

"I don't want to take any of you with me. Assassins are not on the battlefield. These people are very cunning. Don't make any mistakes again."

"If the prince isn't afraid, why should I, Old Zhang, be afraid?"

"You mean you're better than me?"

"That's not good."

"It's a miracle you've survived this long."

Shen Changgong waited in the military camp until almost noon, then he rushed towards Xiangyang Village in the south.

The entrance of Xiangyang Village faces east. As it is only fifty miles away from the capital and is next to the official road, it is a must-have place for passing merchants to rest. There are many shops along the street, and it has become a small town.

It is precisely because there are so many people here and so many strangers coming and going that it provides shelter for the assassin. Otherwise, in other villages, everyone in the village knows each other, and a stranger can be recognized at a glance.

Lu Bing looked at the marks left by his companions, led the army and rushed all the way, surrounded the entire village as quickly as possible, and then rushed to that house with a part of the cavalry.

The loud sound of horse hooves startled the people inside. One of them stuck his head out of the wall and looked out. He screamed "Oh my God" and fell down.

"Oh no! The government troops are coming! The government troops are coming!"

As shouts were heard from inside, a figure climbed over the wall and landed on the ground.

The cavalrymen were frightened and immediately drew their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

"Don't shoot arrows at our own people!"

The man quickly ran to Shen Changgong and said,

"Your Highness, there are more than fifty assassins and more than a dozen masterminds inside, all of them are here."

Shen Changgong nodded and shouted,

"Fire arrows!"

The cavalrymen drew their bows and arrows and shot them into the yard.

The power of the rain of arrows from the army was such that it caused large-scale casualties. A few scattered assassins were killed or wounded in large numbers in an instant under the rain of arrows.

There were many screams coming from the yard, followed by the sound of doors entering and closing.

The cavalrymen dismounted, kicked open the gate, and quickly spread out in the yard, aiming their bows and arrows into the house.

Mo Hei shouted,

"Everyone inside, come out and surrender, otherwise we will shoot arrows. Come out immediately. You must cherish the chance to live, otherwise you will be severely punished..."

Before Mo Hei could finish his words, an arrow shot out from the window in front of him and went straight to his face.

At this critical moment, a long spear suddenly appeared in front of him and knocked the arrow away.

The arrow fell to the ground with a clang. Mo He saw the purple arrowhead and knew it was poisonous.

"Thank you, General Yang, for your help..."

"Fire arrows!"

Yang Hongying didn't have time to deal with him. She just shouted loudly, and the cavalry's arrows shot into the room like a storm.

Following a few screams, there was the sound of wood colliding. It was obvious that the people inside had begun to use tables, chairs and benches to resist.

"Have all the people inside died?"

Yang Hongying asked.

At this time, Shen Changgong walked in and said to Mo Hei,

"What were you thinking? You actually tried to persuade an assassin to surrender? If an assassin could be persuaded to surrender, wouldn't that be extremely unprofessional?"

Mo Hei was too embarrassed to speak.

Shen Changgong waved his hand, and three people took three bombs, lit them with fire sticks, and threw them into three rooms through three windows.

Then, everyone outside lay down, including Shen Changgong.

Although this posture is indecent, it can protect yourself.

Boom boom boom!

Three earth-shattering bangs were heard, flames burst out, window fragments flew everywhere, and there was no movement inside in an instant. Shen Changgong stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said,

"Now all the dead are inside."

"Um... Your Majesty, don't we interrogate them?"

Mo Hei asked.

"What are you interrogating? He's the mastermind, so kill him without mercy. Cavalry, go in and investigate. If anyone's still alive, finish them off."

"Yes!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind them.

"Haha, with these weapons, the martial arts masters become a joke."

"who!"

Everyone turned around and the shadow guards shouted.

I saw a rough man in linen clothes standing on the roof of the house in front.

The man had deep eyes, his hair was tied up casually, he had a wine gourd on his waist, and a weapon on his back. Just looking at the handle, you could tell it was heavy.

The man picked up the wine gourd, took a big gulp, and then hung it leisurely around his waist.

Shen Changgong sneered,

"If you have something to say, tell us what it is. If you don't, you will be treated as an assassin and we will shoot you."

"Are you Prince Lanling?"

the man asked.

"Do you have anything to do with Lanling King?"

"That should be it. I've seen your portrait."

The man took out a letter from his pocket and said,

"I am a wandering Jianghu warrior, also known as Zuo Sanhe, the Wind Blade. I am ranked fifth on the Jianghu Masters List. I have come to pay a special visit to Lanling King, who is ranked first.

By the way, I've been asked to deliver an invitation to Prince Lanling."

"Invitation? Who's getting married and wants to invite me to the wedding?"

"There is good wine, as long as Your Highness is willing to do me the honor of coming. This is an invitation to the Great Yan Martial Arts Conference. It will be held in one month in Boyang Valley, south of the capital. All the martial arts masters of Great Yan will compete to choose a leader and unify the martial arts world. I hope Your Highness will do me the honor of coming."

"Leader of the Wulin? Why? I'm already busy with all sorts of affairs, in charge of all the military and political affairs of the country, and you still want me to be your leader?"

Shen Changgong sneered.

Zuo Sanhe jumped down from the roof and landed steadily on the ground. There was a courtyard gate and some soldiers between him and Shen Changgong.

"That depends on whether you have the interest or the ability."

Zuo Sanhe handed the letter in his hand to the soldiers.

After the soldier took it, he opened it and took a look. After confirming that it was non-toxic, he handed it to Shen Changgong.

Shen Changgong opened it and took a look. It said that Jiutian Tower, Wai Ba Men and Xuejian Villa jointly invited all major gangs and wanderers to participate in the martial arts conference and choose the leader through a duel.

He added a sentence at the end, sincerely inviting Lanling Wang, the best master of Dayan, to attend the conference.

Shen Changgong sneered, handed it to Tu Que Ling behind him, looked at Zuo Sanhe and said,

"You are also the fifth most skilled martial artist in Dayan. I believe you are also a highly skilled martial artist. The imperial court has issued a conscription order, calling on martial artists from Dayan to join the army. You can serve as a lieutenant general and kill the enemy to gain merit. Why don't you respond to the call?"
