Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1123

Upon hearing this report, Shi Qing and Granny Shi finally understood why the other party had 'skimmed over' the [Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation], faced the entrance to the underground palace directly, and crushed its true soul power.

It's because Shi Ye and Shi Chang have both left the Prince's Mansion. No one has activated [Yellow Springs Four Kills]!

"The enemy is making such a big show of force this time, it's not that they're going to attack the city."

"And they coveted what was inside the underground palace."

At this point, Shi Qing looked at Zhu Wuji, the Prince of Shu, who was like a 'mascot', and added, "In fact, it is very likely that they are investigating him."

"Ah? Does Your Highness mean that the Embroidered Uniform Guard is cooperating between Emperor Qiming and us?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing, despite his physical discomfort, immediately stood up and said, "No matter what they're after, we absolutely cannot let them succeed."

"Return to the residence immediately and return to the Prince of Shu's residence."

"Bring the King of Shu along, just in case."

"Yes."

Just after Shi Qing led his troops away in a grand procession, Li Shan, the general guarding the western gate of Chengdu, hurriedly went to the main camp.

At this moment, waiting for him here were not only Tang Yan, the garrison commander of Leshan, but also Li Yuanfang, Xu Shan's right-hand man, and Zhang Liansong.

"Senior Brother Tang!"

"These, these two are..."

Li Shan and Tang Yan were from the same school, but they formed their own school. However, due to their different backgrounds, they were ostracized.

Because several generals of the city defense battalion and garrison were assassinated by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he, who had no background in Chengdu, was temporarily reinstated.

He became the acting commander of the western city garrison!

"Let me introduce you, Li Yuanfang, commander of the Inspectorate. He's Xu Qin's right-hand man!"

"Commander Li? I've long admired the name of the Inspector General [Left Li, Right Wang]."

"You're welcome."

"Who is this……"

Before Tang Yan could speak, Zhang Liansong, exuding an air of arrogance, declared, "Zhang Liansong, the number one penny-pincher of the Inspectorate."

"what?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar pseudonym and title, Li Shan stood there stunned for several breaths.

It was Li Yuanfang's reminder that made him realize the truth.

"Zhang Liansong, that name isn't very catchy. But his nickname is 'Zhang Gou Dan' (Zhang the Egg)."

"Zhang Gou Dan, the strongest centurion on earth? It's you, the one who slaughtered everyone in the Wuxia Gorge."

When Zhang Liansong heard this flattering remark, he was immediately overjoyed.

The strongest centurion on Earth?

That's pretty high-class!

Right? In the Baihu race, there's really no one who can compete with him.

Go back and tell your parents that you won't be getting promoted anymore.

He's just a damn centurion.

Also, it turns out that Dog Egg has more prestige than my real name?

From now on, I will be Pen King Gou Dan.

Who is Zhang Liansong? I don't know him!

"Nice to meet you!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Yanzhen got straight to the point: "Junior Brother Li, you must know who was pulling the strings behind the scenes to get you to take over the western city defenses so smoothly, right?"

"I know, I know!"

Damn it, all the qualified officers in front of him were killed.

The only one qualified to take the position of commander of the garrison is Li Shan.

Everything will fall into place naturally!

"Imperial Envoy Xu, what I promise you will only be more brilliant than what you are now."

"Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that Commander Li can benefit the people of Chengdu."

Li Shan, a seasoned veteran, surely understood the unspoken meaning behind those words.

"Your subordinate will do everything in his power to assist Imperial Envoy Xu and the imperial court in the complete recovery of Chengdu."

"I will not give up even if I die!"

With Li Shan's statement, there were no obstacles to the subsequent actions.

"A list of officers at the rank of colonel or above that you feel you can't control can be compiled."

"My master, Lord Xu, hopes that the imperial army will suffer the least casualties when entering Chengdu from the west of the city."

Upon hearing Li Yuanfang's words, Li Shan immediately replied, "Understood!"

"Please rest assured, Commander Li."

"Your subordinate will do his best to ensure that the imperial army enters Chengdu from the west of the city without bloodshed."

"Not just try, but definitely!"

"Yes. I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."

Meanwhile, as Shi Qing led her troops back to the Shu Prince's residence, an assassination attempt targeting her trusted subordinates was quietly underway.

Zhang Gou Dan, hailed as the strongest centurion on earth, personally leads the team!

Li Yuanfang, with Li on the left and Wang on the right, sits in the central command, overseeing the overall situation!

With Li Shan's cooperation, the Embroidered Uniform Guard purged Shi Qing, leaving behind the vast majority of his loyal followers.

When Tang Yan's Leshan garrison, along with the Jiazi Battalion, launched another attack on the city, the wooden bridge over the moat, which had been hoisted high, was already lowered.

The tightly closed city gates were now wide open!

Meanwhile, the local people, who should have stood with the local garrison, launched a riot under the orderly guidance of the Zhatian Gang and the Jinyiwei.

In an instant, supplies to the backyards of other urban areas were cut off.

The soldiers who were defending the city were filled with anxiety.

Despite the strong pressure from generals and captains with Red Miao blood, he barely managed to remain in his post.

However, this was followed by the fall of the West Gate and the incursion of the Leshan garrison and the Jia-type battalion...

They, who already harbored resentment, finally erupted.

However, within a short hour, the north and south gates of the city were forcibly opened by the indignant defenders and civilians.

When the Big Sword Battalion and the Jiangzhou garrison entered the city, they were also welcomed by people lining the streets.

With this, the entire capital of Chengdu was to return to the imperial court, and the countdown had begun!

And at this moment...

Concerned about the underground palace of the Shu King's Mansion, Shi Qing led his personal guards and hurriedly returned to the mansion.

"Guard it well, the entire Shu Prince's mansion, and don't let a single fly escape."

"Yes!"

The deafening slogans echoed throughout the Shu Prince's Palace.

But as she led her elite troops toward the underground palace, Wang Qinian's Imperial Guards, along with assassins from the Underworld Moon Pavilion and the Ghost Pavilion, silently devoured Shi Qing's remaining forces.

'Pah-ta-ta.'

"Your Highness, please slow down. Watch your step!"

"Even if the [Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation] is not activated, there are still Jin Kui and Ba Shi in the underground palace."

"They won't make any waves."

Upon seeing Shi Qing, who was rushing to the underground palace despite his injuries, and Shi's nanny, who was carrying the fat Shu King, Shi Qing quickly comforted and reassured her.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing immediately said, "I felt the aftershocks of the array's source."

"It doesn't seem like the [Four Kills of the Underworld] wasn't activated."

After she finished speaking, Granny Shi immediately replied, "Impossible, Your Highness."

"This old servant has lived most of his life and has never seen anyone break through this formation."

"what……"

No sooner had he said this than the guards who had rushed with Shi Qing to the front of the underground palace (Zhen Huan) were so shocked by the horrific scene before them that they screamed out in shock.

There they saw Shi Ye, the leader of the "Kui Dou" sect, who was high above them and invincible, and Shi Chang, the right-hand man of their queen and the commander of the patrol battalion, lying with their bones exposed in a pool of dried blood.

"What, what... what's going on?"

"How could Shi Kui Shi and General Shi have died here?"

The shocked Granny Shi's unspoken meaning was...

The fact that they are here means that they have already activated the [Four Kills of the Underworld].

If that's the case, why is the gate to the underground palace still open?
