Chapter 345 Gun King III

The night is as thick as ink, and the waning moon is looming.

In the main hall of the Anbei Governor’s Mansion, behind the heavy curtains, the blood gushing from the headless corpse soaked the precious carpet.

There were tears in the corners of Princess Le’an’s eyes, and her eyes were confused and lost in love, as if a small boat was rocking on the sea.

Amidst the intermittent mumbling, Lilith yawned and left the spiritual world, lying on her side in mid-air on the bed. Hearing the county lord’s dirty words, she couldn’t help but click her tongue twice.

“Tell you something.”

“You really know how to pick the right time.” Jiang He looked a little strange.

Lilith said seriously, “The Red Moon Reincarnation Secret Art is more than halfway completed, but there is a problem. In the field of alchemy and mystery, equivalent exchange is one of the basic principles. Since I plan to be reborn, I need something to die in my place.”

“Is it related to this advent?” Jiang He guessed. He owed the other party a lot of favors, but there was no room for negotiation about using himself or his team members to die in the place of death. Lilith would not be unaware of this.

Lilith clasped her hands together and chuckled, “All dynasties basically have national destiny. Daqian is about to wither and the Xin Dynasty will be established. It is expected to have a ‘lifespan’ of several hundred years. As long as you are willing to die in this life, the Xin Dynasty can barely serve as a sacrifice for the perfection of the secret art. After all, in my current state, the ‘weight’ of my soul is very light. Please, for the sake of our frequent cooperation.”

“Okay.” Jiang He nodded. He didn’t care how long the future dynasty would last. To become the emperor, in addition to completing the main task, it was just to improve his strength. The four goals of the body of a martial saint, extraordinary spear skills, golden will, and Dan Jin all required a dynasty with perfect order and functions to provide nutrition.

“Thank you in advance.” Lilith lowered her eyes slightly and smiled, “It’s a good size. Keep it up.”

As she finished her words, her figure disappeared.

Boo!
Jiang He withdrew and took off the red robe on the hanger next to him. The Princess of Le’an County had already fallen into a deep sleep.

A faint smell of blood filled the air.

Jiang He walked out of the bedroom and immediately saw the headless corpse on the ground. Given the physical fitness of the Silver Powers, he certainly heard the sound of swords being drawn and beheading.

Zhuang Ya woke up from a nap, raised her little hand and rubbed her eyes drowsily.

“Dispatch two hundred evil knights to be responsible for the security of the backyard. You will be in charge of it personally. Find Wuhe to take care of the palace maids, eunuchs and daily expenses. There should be ready-made ones in the Anbei Palace.” Jiang He said. He planned to train the little guy’s management ability. There happened to be a lot of people in the backyard.

“Okay.” Zhuang Ya raised her head and agreed. Although she was not sure what specific responsibilities she would be responsible for, she did not intend to refuse any request from someone.

The two men left the main hall, and the news was reported to Wuhe by flying birds. The latter conveyed the order through the intelligent channel between the Dawn people, and the evil knights stationed in the Anbei Governor’s Mansion immediately mobilized two hundred people.

……

early morning.

Jiang He finished his training in the courtyard, and Wuhe flew onto his shoulder to report the news.

“Boss, the Duke of Yan of the imperial court is leading 120,000 elite troops to approach Wangshu City. The remaining forces led by the owner of Yanyu Tower and the Hong family are preparing to launch an assassination. In addition, the Gold and Silver Bureau has encountered some problems. If we want to maintain the current economic level of Yizhou, the results of withdrawing gold to make evil soldiers may not be satisfactory.”

Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, “Send three thousand cavalrymen to Wangshu City, and move slowly with my blood spears, accompanied by Madam Hong.”

“As for the gold problem, I will solve it later. When the time comes, I will mark the location of the mine and let Zhuang Ya cooperate in the mining. Her snake body is good at large-scale construction.”

“I understand.” Wuhe replied.

Jiang He left behind a blood spear of the final knight, then spread his blood wings and flew straight into the air.

His figure gradually moved away from the ground, his pair of blood wings trembling constantly, Jiang He came under the clouds and opened his all-seeing eyes.

This skill has been upgraded to the ultimate level due to the amplification of the title of Silver Power, and can take in everything within twelve kilometers around. The Hunting Eye skill of the Perfect Set·God Hunter can distinguish the value of objects in the field of vision.

A dark red light was hovering over Yizhou. Jiang He inspected one state, twelve counties and ninety-six counties. His sight became colorful, with red, orange, red, green, indigo, and purple appearing one by one in his eyes according to their value. The mines that can be mined are usually tens to thousands of meters underground, and now they are flashing with green light.

In two full days, Jiang He explored the entire territory of Yizhou and found 62 small gold mines with gold metal quantities of one to five tons, 37 medium-sized gold mines, and nine large gold mines. All the mineable gold mines that should have been regarded as “historical wealth” were now exposed.

“The largest gold mine is in the Jianchi Mountains.”

“All the gold mines are expected to produce 2400 tons of gold, enough to produce 240000 evil soldiers.”

“Silver and iron ore, just mine it.”

Jiang He uploaded the results to the Dawn Intelligent Center. This exploration was equivalent to consuming all of Yizhou’s mineral resources.

After the message was transmitted, he directly activated the final position change skill and headed for the three thousand cavalry team.

At the same time, Wuhe decisively ordered the conscription of 120,000 civilians to establish a Mining Bureau, which was under the Gold and Silver Bureau. The minerals in the territory were mined comprehensively and accurately. Gold was used to make powerful soldiers, silver was used to regulate the economy and purchase food and fodder, and iron ore was used to build military equipment. Everything was in full swing.

……

Wangshu City.

After two days of marching, three thousand elite cavalry arrived outside the city gate.

In the luxurious and exquisite carriage, the air was filled with sandalwood. Mrs. Hong looked out the window anxiously, with a look of worry on her face.

A moment later, a young woman who looked like a maid but was actually a mid-level warrior walked into the carriage and carefully handed over a secret letter.

“Miss Hong, the survival of our family depends on you. Duke Yan’s army will soon be threatening the outskirts of Wangshu City. Grandmaster Hong’s instructions are all in the letter. Please consider it carefully.”

Mrs. Hong opened the secret letter with trembling hands, and her face turned pale after she glanced over a few lines.

The young woman bowed her head and said nothing.

Because of Wu Zong’s strength, the three sects of Yizhou were all forced to surrender. As his power spread rapidly, the Hong family’s voice in the martial arts world declined day by day, and they had reached a point where they had no way to retreat.

Patriarch Hong’s marriage of his daughter was just a delaying tactic. In fact, he had conspired with the remaining forces such as the owner of Yanyu Tower, waiting to kill them with one strike.

The army was besieging, and the masters were waiting for an opportunity to move. The young woman was full of confidence and immediately said, “Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. I have a packet of strange poison on me, called Bone-Dissolving and Tendon-Softening Powder, which comes from the secret teachings of the ancestor of the Imperial Palace. Even the leader of the Demon Cult will lose all his power. Miss Hong can seduce the Marquis of Suppressing the Rebellion to take it when you sleep with him.”

Mrs. Hong said in embarrassment: “But the Marquis has never touched me yet.”

The young woman said calmly, “Young lady is a well-known beauty with a slender waist. She is so light in my hand. I think it will not be difficult as long as I try to please her.”

Mrs. Hong thought for a long time, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

“My Lord, I have failed to show my gratitude to you. I have no other choice.”

The young woman smiled but said nothing.

At the same time, three thousand cavalry entered the city.

Wangshu City was once guarded by the royal family’s guards, with a garrison of 3,600 people, but now it is guarded by the Shuguang people.

In the carriage in front of the cavalry column, a bloody spear disappeared, and Jiang He suddenly appeared in the carriage.

In Zhuang Ya’s absence, the leader of the guards was temporarily replaced by the Evil Knight, who immediately got into the car to report.

“Your Majesty, Duke Yan’s 120,000 troops are expected to arrive outside the city tomorrow morning. The owner of Yanyu Tower and others have already sneaked into the city.”

“Got it, everything is the same as before.”

“clear.”

Jiang He pulled open the carriage curtain. In fact, he could deal with the 120,000 elite troops by himself. The mission of the 3,000 elite cavalrymen who accompanied him was actually to clean up the battlefield.

Suddenly the queue slowed down.

On the street leading to the City Lord’s Mansion, an old man stood with a spear across his body. He was tall and strong, but very thin, with a face as dry and wrinkled as tree bark and extremely withered white hair. It was obvious that he was going to die soon. “Stop!” Spear King III shouted angrily.

Jiang He walked out of the carriage, wearing a red robe, and said calmly, “Senior, why are you blocking the road?”

Gun King III looked at the young man in front of him with a very complicated expression. He had regarded him as the inheritor of the art of gun. He was extremely pleased and grateful for the fact that he had pacified the rebellion and killed Hou Zhenlongcheng, reversed the situation in Yizhou, trampled on the ancestral home of the Northern Barbarians, and defeated the main force of the barbarians.

But a marquis sets up his own government, encloses land to become a king, appoints subordinates privately, and usurps control of the army. Each of these is a capital crime punishable by death. Such a person is an endless disaster to Daqian.

Gun King III calmed down and sneered, “I am not worthy of being a Grandmaster’s predecessor. People say that you destroyed the wall of Daming City with one palm, which is a rumor. I know your talent. Let’s fight against each other today. Life and death will be left to fate.”

The evil soldiers watched coldly, and countless eyes in the city were cast in their direction.

No one thought that Gun King III could defeat the world’s number one who killed Long Cheng, not to mention that from his words, Ping Luan Hou had been promoted to Grand Master and became one of the transcendent ones.

This former master of spearmanship who dominated the martial arts world now looks more like he is seeking death.

Jiang He said with rare patience: “Senior, when Qian lost his deer, the whole world chased him. This is not uncommon in ancient history…”

“Enough, I am a citizen of Daqian!” Gun King San drew his gun angrily, and his speed was as fast as ever.

Jiang He stopped talking. The two sides had different positions. In the eyes of the other party, justice was more important than the personal feelings of inheriting the spearmanship.

boom!
The carriage exploded, debris flying everywhere.

Jiang He instantly arrived in front of Gun King III. The strength gap spanning an era made the battle a foregone conclusion. He pointed his finger at the opponent’s forehead, and the power swept through his whole body, instantly making Gun King III faint.

Clouds are in the blue sky and water is in the bottle. The acupoint sealing technique from the Yunshui Sutra sealed up the true essence and strength of the Gun King III. The theme of this grandmaster’s technique is natural, and it is full of the meaning of returning to nature.

“Someone, send the senior down to recuperate.”

Ten vicious knights stepped forward and helped the third spear king away.

Jiang He rode his horse and headed straight to the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the shadows at the corner of the street, the owner of Yanyu Tower stared at the figure with his eyes fixed. His back was soaked with cold sweat. The speed displayed by Pingluan Hou was beyond his comprehension.

“Stab them directly and they will die without a single survivor.”

“We can only wait for the Hong family’s daughter to succeed.”

“He is definitely a grandmaster.”

The owner of Yanyu Tower kept muttering to himself. As for how far the other party had gone on the road to becoming a grandmaster, he was not on the same level and could not make an accurate judgment.

……

At night, a banquet was held in the City Lord’s Mansion.

The Shuguang garrison, the civil prefect, and the vicious deputy general with three thousand cavalry were all present.

When the banquet was over and Jiang He left for the backyard, he happened to see a beautiful lady dancing in the garden.

With a slender waist, delicate white feet and a pair of large sleeves fluttering in the wind, the Hong girl has a gentle and charming posture, as agile and cunning as a civet cat.

“My Lord~”

When she saw the person coming, the Hong girl was suddenly startled and immediately fell into the other person’s arms, her delicate body as soft as if it had no bones.

Jiang He knew that it was no accident that the other party appeared here. The Dawn People and the Evil Soldiers now occupied major military and political positions. Due to the number problem, positions such as servants and maids were difficult to include. The Marquis’ Mansion had only been rising for a short time, so it was inevitable that outsiders would take advantage of the situation.

“May the Lord be blessed with good health.”

“Go to bed.”

The Hong girl’s face turned red. She carefully looked at the Marquis’s appearance, and her heart suddenly struggled and wavered.

Jiang He gently pushed the beauty in his arms a few steps away. He was still waiting to assassinate her. If the other party changed his mind, he would probably have to run all over the city to hunt down the minions. It was not a question of whether he would be tired or not, but mainly because it was not worth it to kill a group of bronze creatures.

A trace of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the daughter of the Hong family. She raised her head and smiled charmingly, “My Lord, just lie down quietly tonight. How about letting me serve you?”

“It’s impossible.”

The evil knight led the way, and the two walked into the backyard of the city lord’s mansion. Hong danced twice, and then pushed someone onto the couch, and her light gauze dress fell to the ground.

……

midnight.

The owner of Yanyu Tower met the three masters from Qingzhou. The orphan of the He family and the young master of the Bian family and others gathered hundreds of soldiers and gathered at the home of the senator in Wangshu City.

This place is only two streets away from the City Lord’s Mansion.

“The daughter of the Hong family should be successful soon. The army of the Duke of Yan will arrive tomorrow. The Marquis of Pingluan still has the leisure to hold a banquet and drink tonight. I think this man is putting his head on the line and his death is near.” The orphan of the He family said hatefully.

The young master of the Bian family said solemnly: “Our forces are spread all over the city. Once the fireworks sound, the other families that have suffered will come out in full force to end the war in one fell swoop. I hope you will not retreat. When the Duke of Yan arrives tomorrow, we will seize the city and offer it to him. The recovery of Yizhou is just around the corner.”

The owner of Yanyu Tower stroked the unsheathed sword in his hand, and the smiles and frowns of his former lover flashed before his eyes. His mood became calmer, and silver lights flickered in his eyes, which was a precursor to the birth of the Silver Will.

Half an hour passed quietly.

Bang!
A firework shot straight into the sky, sparks flying everywhere.

“Do it!”

The three men led hundreds of armored soldiers out from the side door. The friction between the armor plates made a cold clicking sound. The night was as cold as water and full of murderous intent.

At the same time, in the Wangshu County officials in the city.

A group of men in black climbed in through the window, swords and knives drawn. Most of them were skilled in martial arts. The only son of Hong Axis, who was originally the seventh-ranked general in the world, led the way, showing the majesty of a master.

Everyone stared at the table, and the county magistrate, who usually called himself a member of Shuguang Township, had a ferocious look in his eyes.

“How dare the bandit steal the position of Baili Hou? He should be beheaded!”

Hong Zhou’s only son raised his sword and slashed. The master’s true energy filled the sword and his secret technique, the Hundred Jun Sword, was activated with great force and power.

boom!
Suddenly, a shadow jumped out from the corner of the room and threw a simple straight punch, smashing the chest of Hong Zhou’s only son.

The man punched extremely quickly, with fist shadows covering the surroundings. The fierce gust of wind blew the tables and chairs in the room into a mess. More than a dozen people were killed on the spot, with no intact bodies left.

The men in black retreated in panic upon seeing this, but the doors and windows were blocked by vicious knights and martial arts masters.

“Whoever dares to show mercy tonight will be buried with him tomorrow morning.”

Ah Er glanced around disdainfully. There were thousands of enemies gathered in Wangshu City. No one would survive tonight. Commander Wu’s bird army had already grasped the clues and was just waiting to close the net at this moment.

“Kill!” The Dai Ming clan leader took the lead. Ever since he humbled himself and entered the hall on the top of the mountain that day, he had no way to retreat.

The fireworks in the city dissipated, and fighting and shouting were heard everywhere. The remaining forces of Yizhou launched attacks at more than a dozen locations, but now they were met with a full-scale counterattack and suffered heavy losses.
