Chapter 991: Proportion
Two red lights flashed across He Lingchuan's body, and the amulet in his arms snapped.
Neither of the two amulets could withstand Wan Qisong's violent blow!
Done, successful!
Wanqisong was so excited that he shouted loudly: "He Lingchuan is dead, He Lingchuan is dead!"
The sound continued for miles.
He had used so much force that the head rolled onto the road, dragging blood all over the ground.
The head was only half a step away from the grass. Although it was stained with some mud, under the bright light of the street lamp, Wan Qisong and Wang Xiang, who was approaching, could still clearly see his facial features.
With a horrified look on his face and a look of death in silence, he is indeed the Lord of He Island!
Wan Qisong jumped over and grabbed the head from the ground. He looked carefully at the white light of the street lamp and saw that it was indeed He Lingchuan. He couldn't help but laugh heartily and casually tied the head to the side of his belt.
Qiu Hu happened to make a gap in the encirclement. When he saw this, he shouted "Lord" and fired his spear!
Wan Qisong dodged and avoided.
Yang Shanren fired several arrows one after another, but he blocked them all.
Qiu Hu picked up two Bailong men and rode towards him, slashing him in the face with a knife.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged a few moves.
Wan Qisong suddenly felt a light on his waist during the battle. He looked down in the middle of his busy schedule and saw a little monkey wearing a hat jumped out of nowhere. He snatched the head from his waist and held it in his arms. He then crawled back in with a cry. The bushes disappeared behind the thick shadows in the blink of an eye.
Wan Qisong has also seen this monkey. It seems to be the medicine monkey next to He Lingchuan?
It took away the head, and other benefactors took away the body. Qiu Hu made two feints with his sword, then rode away.
Wan Qinsong laughed: "Your master is gone, why don't Qiu Da surrender to me? I will also let you be the leading general!"
Qiu Hu's face was gloomy, he just pulled back his spear, turned back on his horse and left: "Go back to the hot spring house, quickly!"
The island owner is dead, he is the backbone and supreme commander, and the Yangshan Guards immediately followed.
The Bailong people followed him for more than ten feet and then stopped. With the main target dead, their offensive was no longer as ferocious as before. Wan Qinsong's mind was clear: "Set the command arrow, let's go to the dock!"
His subordinates asked him: "Aren't we going after the hot spring house?"
"What's the hurry?" The hot spring house has high walls, guards, and hundreds of elite officials from Mou State. Don't provoke them for the time being, and just stick to the original plan. "Let's go, let's occupy the dock and Ding Lake first."
The important buildings on Sodin Island are all near the pier. The Bailong people occupied them first. They turned around and gathered their troops before considering the small hot spring building.
He didn’t want to offend the Imperial Master of Mou State.
He Lingchuan is dead, so it shouldn't be difficult to capture the entire island.
Who can’t be the owner of this island? He Lingchuan's old subordinates had no determination or necessity to resist.
Wan Qisongzhi waved his hand proudly, and the Bailong elite marched along Qingyun Road to the dock.
Wang Xiang from Bejia stayed and cast spells calmly to report all the major changes here to Yu Zecheng.
He held a round mirror in his hand, and the mirror was covered with mist, like a bathroom mirror after a hot shower.
Interestingly, the rainwater will not fall on the mirror and will be separated by an invisible barrier.
Wang Xiang stretched out his fingers to write on the mirror.
The writing here will turn into jade and water stains on the tray in the blink of an eye.
Right at the scene of the battle, on top of the fluorescent spores that served as street lights, squatted a small eyeball spider, its big round eyes pointing directly downwards.
It can see the words written by Wang Xiang on the mirror:
Wan Qinsong beheaded He Xiao and rushed to the dock.
After writing, the mirror surface quickly became dense.
Wang Xiang stood there holding the mirror, waiting for the next instruction.
After just a few breaths, two words appeared on the mirror:
Are you sure?
This is a question from Yu Zecheng.
This kind of mirror transmission has the advantage of being stealthy and fast, but the effective distance is less than fifteen miles.
Wang Xiang’s handwriting:
I saw with my own eyes that Wan Qisong tied the head around his waist and was later snatched back by the opponent.
After a while, the mirror stopped writing on its own, presumably because Yu Zecheng had no new instructions. Wang Xiang then put away the round mirror and strode towards the Bailong people.
But he had only run more than ten feet when two arrows suddenly shot out from the roadside.
Wang Xiang hurriedly dodged, but saw a few more black shadows in front of him. He hurriedly fought back, but his lower back suddenly felt numb, as if he had been stung by something, and his body went numb. Then, a fist as big as a sand bowl appeared in the field of vision...
This battle ended extremely quickly.
The attacker dragged him into the dark forest by the roadside, took out the mirror from his arms, and looked at it carefully.
The blood on the road miraculously disappeared.
…
Inside Nuanxiangzhai.
The water stains on the tray had long since melted away, but Yu Zecheng was still staring at it in a daze.
He Xiao is dead?
Is He Xiao dead just like that?
He Xiao, who once stirred up trouble in Lingxu City with Prince Chiyan and was able to escape safely, died at the hands of a reckless man tonight?
Just now, Bailong people were having internal strife, and Yu Zecheng felt that this matter was going to be dirty. Wan Qifeng took away the main force, leaving Wan Qisong and more than 100 people to really threaten He Xiao?
It's just a temporary try if you have to let go. Anyway, you have nothing to lose.
But then Wang Xiang told him that it was really possible.
When He Xiao was beheaded, Wang Xiang was on the side and saw it with his own eyes.
This is really a turn of events.
The good news was delivered to the door. Yu Zecheng pressed his temples and suddenly laughed out loud.
As soon as his confidant added wine to the pot, he saw the secret report of water stains and couldn't help but whisper: "Sir, could He Xiao cheat his death?"
"If He Xiao is cheating and wants to lure us into action, the best way is to pretend to be seriously injured and retreat, rather than be beheaded. This is easier and safer."
If Wang Xiang's message was that He Lingchuan was ambushed and seriously injured or unconscious, Yu Zecheng would not consider taking action at all.
That would be a blatant fake death.
Can such a dishonest trick deceive Yu Zecheng?
"It's hard to fake death after turning around." Yu Zecheng leaned back, "I recalled these days and I do remember Wanqi Song. He was also a fierce general of Ya State, known as a beheading maniac, and he cut off at least 200 heads."
He glanced at his confidant: "Do you know why they love to cut heads?"
This reason cannot be simply summarized as bloodthirsty.
"Calculate military merits?" The confidant has also heard about the method of calculating military merits of the Ya State tribe.
"More than that." Yu Zecheng chuckled, "There are magical secrets in the world that claim to bring the dead back to life, but they can't be done without a head; and if the opponent uses secrets such as a surrogate puppet, then the head won't fall off with one cut. So whether the enemy is dead or alive can be seen with one cut."
The surrogate puppet is effective, and the owner is spared from death, so of course the head won't fall off; on the other hand, He Xiao's head was cut off, which means that the surrogate puppet was not used.
"To put it another way, no matter how careless Wanqi Song is, his hand feeling when killing people will never be wrong. Besides, he put the head to his waist, which shows that he has confirmed it."
In summary, He Xiao is probably dead.
Of course, he didn't forget the mirage monster next to Zhu Erniang.
This kind of monster is not good at fighting, but can create all kinds of strange illusions. Our own Yuanli is not sufficient now, and it is difficult to see its tricks at a glance.
But people who make plans and do big things usually find it difficult to take into account the extremely small probability of accidents.
Besides, a general like Wanqi Song who kills people like crazy, even if he can't see the illusion of the mirage demon clearly, he can always figure out whether he has chopped off the head or not, right?
Yu Zecheng pressed his eyebrows. It would be great if he was at the scene of the killing. He could know what to do next with just one look.
The confidant stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, what's next?"
The island master He is dead, and the whole Soding Island is in chaos. Isn't this a good opportunity to deal with the underground spider queen?
Yu Zecheng expressionless: "Keep your troops in place."
Ah? Still keep your troops in place? "...Yes."
"Pay attention to the news from the dock and Ye Qing. Where did the spider queen go?"
"It just rushed to He Lingchuan along Qingyun Road, as if to rescue. But it turned back halfway and went to the southeast."
"Wanqi Song's shouts were too arrogant, and they were heard all the way to Nuanxiangzhai. The spider queen might have heard it." Yu Zecheng frowned, "What's in the southeast of the island?"
He immediately called up the sand table to zoom in.
Most of the southeastern end of Sodin Island has not been developed and is covered by dense forests. Could it be that Zhu Erniang wants to hide in the dense forest and wait for the hurricane to pass before crossing the sea to escape?
The confidant suddenly pointed to the sand table and said: "There seems to be a dock on the southeast coast. Fishing boats usually park there, and don't go to the northern dock with the merchant ships of Sodin Island."
Commercial and fishing boats are moored separately on Sodin Island.
There are probably boatmen left on the fishing boats and the shore. Does Zhu Erniang want to escape by boat?
It should be very clear that once He Xiao dies, Yu Zecheng will definitely deal with it. So now it would rather escape to the sea than stay on the island.
Besides, it is an ancient immortal with extraordinary means, and it may not die even if it enters the sea on a hurricane day; on the other hand, it dares to land on Sodin Island tonight. Is there a way to be sure that it will not be trapped?
"Where are our people?"
The confidant closed the doors and windows and pointed to a small dot on the sand table: "We just went to Baihoujian. This place is very close to the pier and Qingyun Road. If the crypt spider queen retreats to the south, they can also rush to intercept her. But the spider queen runs very fast, and in terms of time..."
Time is very tight. Once the spider queen slips to the beach, they will lose her.
The spore bee compass they have been using has become ineffective. It is not known whether the little spiders that have been marked have been caught in the rain, or the spider queen asked them to jump into the sea and take a bath. Anyway, the mucus of the bee pupae has been washed away.
If the spider queen moves urgently, it will take some time to find their whereabouts.
So why are the Bejia people busy in the Yangshan Islands these days?
Yu Zecheng faces a choice.
From the moment Wanqi Song beheaded He Lingchuan, the situation suddenly changed and the situation developed in the best direction.
It was so good that he couldn't believe it.
Now, should we take action against Zhu Erniang?
He was hesitating when his confidant finished looking at a water mirror and came to report: "The dock is in chaos, Wanqi Song is almost there. Also, Ye Qing, please tell me if we should take action?"
Yu Zecheng turned his head and looked at the sand table.
In half a quarter of an hour at most, his team would miss the best time to intercept.
