Text Chapter 1908: Besieged City

Tens of thousands of people rushed behind him immediately, all of them showed their spell-breaking bows and aimed at the white-faced and bearded man and others. The latter was shocked and said: "How brave, do you want to rebel?"

"Kill!" The general on duty gave the order with a slash of his sword.

Bang bang bang, the mana surged, and dense streams of light suddenly shot out, drowning several people.

"What's going on?" The inspectors in the distance asked angrily when they saw the movement here.

Unexpectedly, the armies on the left and right quickly changed direction and launched an attack on it.

Similar situations occurred in almost all areas of the army outside the Star Gate. The people guarding the Star Gate turned their weapons to attack and attacked the inspectors.

Before the commotion subsided, the general on duty showed a white flag and waved it high in the direction of the Star Gate.

Soon, the huge ball of light that sealed the formation rotated away, and the hollow in the middle revealed the faintly rotating star gate.

The army lineup displayed in front quickly opened up to make way for a passage. With a wave of his hand, more than ten people immediately protected him, and the group quickly shot towards the opened star gate.

The commotion outside the Star Gate quickly subsided. The number of inspectors among the hundreds of millions of troops could not cause any disturbance. Once they are determined to destroy them and plan a surprise attack, they can be killed at any time. things.

Next, they were ordered to be wary of each other's colleagues and strictly control the use of the star bell to prevent anyone from leaking information.

Po Jun and others spit out from the other end of the void figured out the direction and headed straight for Ying Jiuguang's lair.

From all over Tianjie, nearby armies arrived one after another, ranging from tens of thousands to more than 100,000. As soon as the troops arrived, Tianjie was immediately surrounded. The soldiers on the city walls were extremely nervous.

"I am Ke Zhenfeng, the commander-in-chief of Tianhai Mansion. Open the city gate quickly!"

The four city gates have been closed, and the protective formation has been opened. The purple-armored general under the city cannot enter directly. He is pointing a long gun at the city tower and shouting angrily. Behind him are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from nearby local forces.

In fact, whether it is Tianjie or the upper level of Tianjie, there are not many people, because under normal circumstances, nothing happens in Tianjie, and the people in Tianjie are only used to maintain order. The reason why they are not afraid of trouble is because there are many people in Tianjie. If there is an attack on the city guarding palace, a large number of merchants and the like can be organized to resist at any time, unlike the local garrison where there are few people around.

On the top of the city, Shen Qianqiu showed up with his men and shouted back: "I am under the command of Governor Niu, the patrol envoy of Tianjie. I am searching for unruly people according to the orders of the Queen of Heaven. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the order of the Queen of Heaven!"

Ke Zhenfeng pointed his gun and yelled angrily: "What a joke! This street is under my jurisdiction. I haven't even been notified. Who knows whether the decree in your hand is true or false? Open the city gate quickly and let me verify it!"

Shen Qianqiu replied loudly: "Master Ke wants to verify it is very simple. If you report it and ask, you will know. What is the reason for surrounding Tianjie with a group of non-Tianjie people? Could it be that they want to rebel?" Then he waved his hand behind and immediately rushed to the top of the city. A group of people appeared, wearing miscellaneous clothing. They were all businessmen traveling to Tianjie, and they were temporarily organized.

No one is willing to do this, but if you don’t do it, they will immediately kill you with a knife. Do you dare to attack the people of heaven in public?

In short, a dark group of people appeared at the top of the city, far more than the people besieging the city below.

Ke Zhenfeng glanced at the city and shouted angrily again: "Let Tie Fangjue come out and see me!"

Shen Qianqiu: "Mr. Ke, you know better than anyone else whether the Queen's decree is true or false. Not only did you lead a group of local people to surround Tianjie, but you also made gesticulations here. What is your intention? Let me reiterate, this general will obey the decree of Queen Yi. There is something wrong here, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission before the matter is found out. If you, Mr. Ke, want to resist the order, you can say it in public, don't make any excuses here! "

Ke Zhenfeng: "Who knows whether your identities are true or false? This town received a report that you are fake. Where is Tie Fangjue, the commander of Tianjie? Has he been murdered by you? I warn you, If you know your identity, open the city gate immediately. I don’t have the patience to waste time with you. If you don’t open the door and let me verify your identity, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Shen Qianqiu shouted: "I want to see what you want to do to be rude. If you want to rebel, try it. Our Netherworld army will definitely punish the rebels!"

The Netherworld army was quite intimidating. Many people in the city subconsciously looked around, and the commander-in-chief walked to Ke Zhenfeng and sent a message to persuade him, "Lord, please calm down and wait for notification from above whether you want to take action or not. After all, we will attack Tianjie’s crime is not a trivial matter, and even the higher-ups have not made a decision, so why should we ask for trouble!”

Ke Zhenfeng's face tightened

In Tianyuan Xingtian Street, the confrontation situation is almost the same outside the city. Xiao Lingbo is also calling for battle with the generals under the city. The only difference is that the entire Tianjie within the Donghua General Town Mansion has not seen the Master Biyue sending anyone. Only local people came.

Biyue had already received Miao Yi's greeting, so naturally she would not send anyone here, which reduced the pressure on Tianjie in Donghua. At least no one put pressure on them in the name of going up to the peak.

At this time, the disguised Miao Yi and others had appeared in front of the windows on the tower, watching the situation outside.

The reason why he wants to hide in Tianjie is because there are too few people in Tianjie everywhere. He must go to the front line to grasp the situation on the front line and mobilize the command personally.

The Grand Governor and the Saint Masters of the Netherworld Army were personally holding the battle on the city tower. The tens of thousands of troops outside were no more than the men and horses under the command of a local commander. They were not enough to see. Xiao Lingbo was naturally confident and did not need to worry at all. Instead, he had to perform well.

"Have all our people in Tianjie within the Eastern Army evacuated?" Miao Yi asked lightly.

Yang Zhaoqing on the side replied: "Except for the adults here who said they don't need to evacuate, everyone else has quietly evacuated according to the plan."

Miao Yi nodded slightly. Shortly after receiving the message from the Xiahou family that the local troops were rushing to Tianjie, he ordered his men in Tianjie in the Eastern Army to quietly evacuate and hide. Without telling the Xiahou family, his men first ordered a city gate to be opened, and then slipped away quietly after changing their appearance. Xingling remotely controlled the Xiahou family to continue to control Tianjie. Anyway, the Xiahou family is now fully cooperating and listening to everything, just like a fool.

If the Ying family really wants to attack the city later, then the Xiahou family can only do it themselves.

As for why only the people in Tianjie in the Eastern Army were evacuated, the reason is also very simple. Once Ying Jiuguang finds out that the guards have taken action, they will definitely jump over the wall. They have already torn their faces, so what else can they endure? It is inevitable to order an attack on the city. If they don't evacuate, the troops of the Netherworld Army in the Eastern Army may suffer heavy losses.

Another point that made it easier to evacuate was that the troops of the East Army were basically all gathering to defend Ying Jiuguang's lair. The defenses in the East Army were estimated to be almost useless, so those who could retreat could easily escape without fear of being rounded up. However, the situation in the South, West, and North Armies was different, and they must be in a state of high alert at this time.

Another thing was that once Ying Jiuguang was doomed, the South, West, and North Armies probably didn't need to attack Tianjie under the charge of treason.

In addition, if all the troops were evacuated, he was afraid of exposing the people planted in the Guards.

His old subordinates were scattered throughout the Guards, and he had contacted those people when he was making arrangements earlier. He guessed that if the Guards were mobilized, the use of the Star Bell would be blocked, so he asked those who were not controlled to use the Star Bell to keep in touch with this side regularly. As a result, it was found that hundreds of people had lost contact at the same time.

Without thinking too much, Miao Yi immediately guessed that the plan to use Qing Yuanzun here had worked, and Qingzhu had already made a move in secret.

If he didn't have this confidence, how could he, Miao Yi, dare to play like this? It was simply courting death with the troops in his hands.

He couldn't let the outside world suspect that he had mastered the movements of the Guards, otherwise Qingzhu would be the first to not let him go. If everyone withdrew at the right time, would someone suspect that he had already known that Qingzhu would take action against the Ying family and would leave immediately after achieving his goal? It would be better if others suspected him, but it would be a big trouble if Qingzhu suspected that he was used by him. Not to mention that he would not let him go, his old subordinates in the Guards would definitely be eliminated by Qingzhu. It is estimated that Qingzhu would rather kill the wrong people than let them go.

The only thing he didn't understand now was that he didn't know how Qingzhu would fight this battle, and he didn't know that Qingzhu had already instigated Tengfei and Cheng Taize to rebel.

So he was a little worried when he saw the situation in front of him. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and told Yang Zhaoqing: "Send orders to all places, immediately arrest the people in the shops of the powerful families such as Guang, Hao and Kou, and take them to the top of the city! Once you find signs of the troops outside the city attacking the city, order the people guarding the city to immediately shout that Ying Jiuguang's rebellion failed and has been captured by the Heavenly Court! If the other party insists on attacking the city, immediately kill all the captured people!"

Yang Zhaoqing understood what he meant. The shouting was to let the other party estimate whether it was worthwhile to attack Tianjie for the failed Ying Jiuguang. Even if it was not true, it would be good to delay for a while. The reason for not moving a few families before was to stabilize them. If the other party really wanted to attack the city, so many hostages in hand would make the other party think twice. Losing so many shop assistants at once is not a trivial matter, and it is also to stabilize the other party!

"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing took the order and executed.

Qingyue and Xing looked at each other. Although Miao Yi did not tell them what was going on, what they saw and heard was enough for them to secretly curse Miao Yi for being crazy!

The chief general in the city, after contacting someone with the Xingling in his hand for a while, shouted to the city: "The Queen Mother abused the imperial decree and has been arrested by His Majesty. People on the city, why don't you open the city gate quickly!"

Xiao Lingbo pointed and shouted: "How dare you slander the Queen Mother and His Majesty, it seems that you really want to rebel!"

Not to mention that others did not believe it, even Miao Yi on the city tower did not believe that the Queen Mother was arrested. How could Qingzhu arrest Xiahou Chengyu at this time? It must be a deliberate rumor below. He did not contact Xiahou Chengyu. Xiahou Ling knew about it, but deliberately concealed it from Miao Yi and continued to let Miao Yi's people hold it here. He would not blink an eye even if Miao Yi's people died, as long as his goal could be achieved.

Qingzhu would not care about Miao Yi's life or death. At this time, Qingzhu only had Ying Jiuguang in his eyes. As long as he could stabilize and continue to paralyze Ying Jiuguang to cooperate with the actions of the guards, detaining the Queen Mother and affecting Miao Yi's situation was nothing. Compared with Ying Jiuguang, sacrificing Niu Youde was really nothing.

Soon, the streets of various places were in chaos again. If the shops of the powerful families had resisted earlier, it would have been useful. At this time, the people who controlled the streets organized a large number of people to round up and arrest in the name of the Queen Mother's decree. The more people, the bolder! To be continued.
