At these words, Tang He remarked, "The Emperorâs trusted aide, no wonder I havenât heard of them."
Xu Da, standing aside, said, "How strong could they really be?"
Fang Zheng replied, "They shouldnât be weaker than Hero Song, and youâre all likely familiar with their master."
Tang He asked, "Very famous?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Daqian Imperial Advisor Basiba Living Buddha!"
Tang He instantly fell silent. Good heavens, the worldâs number one. Who doesnât know the Basiba Living Buddha? Those Qincha Eight Guards are actually his disciples; they canât be weak.
Thinking this, Tang He said, "Doesnât that mean Hero Song wonât be able to come either?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Indeed, if Hero Song couldnât come, their great savior wouldnât be able to come.
Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng laughed and said, "Haha, you answered correctly. Youâre not as blunt as you seem; I wonder what Fifth Hero Zhang thinks about this?"
Zhang CuiShanâs expression didnât look good at the moment, after all, whether his Senior Brother will come or not.
They were trapped here, how could they transcend?
Thinking like this, Zhang CuiShan was silent for a long time and then said, "What is the purpose of saying this?"
Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhang CuiShan and said, "Ah, Fifth Hero Zhang hit the nail on the head. Thatâs right, the purpose; I definitely have a purpose for doing this. What is that purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang CuiShan said, "Donât keep us in suspense."
Zhang Shicheng said, "Very simple, everyone should surrender. The Prince said he doesnât want to take your lives. As long as you sincerely surrender and repent a few times."
"Then our Prince is willing to forgive and forget, and he said he welcomes everyone to come work at our Ruyang Royal Mansion. As long as youâre willing, the treatment wonât be less than mine!"
Upon hearing this, Tang He said, "Haha, after all this talk, it turns out Prince Yang wants to make us his dogs. Unfortunately, since joining the Zoroastrian Sect weâve vowed never to be dogs for the court. You want us to be dogs? Wishful thinking, itâs impossible."
Zhang Shicheng asked, "Oh, is this the answer from your Zoroastrian Sect? Zhu Chongba, do you think this way too?"
Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, feeling his life was indeed more important. However, now that Tang He said so, he couldnât deny his brother.
Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat and said, "Haha, what my Third Brother says is what I say. I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will never be a dog for Qianting!"
Zhang Shicheng grinned and said, "Good, heroic spirit, I like it. What a pity."
After saying this, Zhang Shicheng turned to face another side, to Zhang CuiShan and asked, "So, what does Brother Zhang think, are you also thinking this way, unwilling to serve my Ruyang Royal Mansion?"
Zhang CuiShan replied, "Iâm sorry, as a Wudang disciple, I will never serve the court; itâs a rule left by my master."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng said, "What a pity."
Immediately, Zhang Shicheng looked at Fang Susu and the others and asked, "Three of you, your Divine Dragon Sect should be sensible, right? Are you not going to seize this lifeline either?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Susuâs complexion turned cold and said, "Even if our Divine Dragon Sect fights to the last person, we will never ally with your court, wanting us to surrender? Dream on!"
"Good, Miss Fang spoke well."
After Fang Susu finished speaking, Tang He immediately applauded loudly.
Zhang Shicheng smiled as well and then began, "Everyone heard, the Prince wanted me to solicit their surrender, but they refused, Iâm helpless. Since thatâs the case, then youâll have to go die!"
With that, Zhang Shicheng slowly retreated a step and then shouted loudly, "Archers, prepare!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd heard the sound of orderly footsteps.
Step, step, step...
It was the sound of an army; soon everyoneâs eyes saw through the white smoke, seeing a group of strong crossbow archers entering.
Each had a bow and arrow, surrounding the crowd. At Zhang Shichengâs command, the next moment, a group of crossbow soldiers raised their powerful crossbows towards everyone in the scene.
Seeing this, Zhang CuiShan exclaimed, "Not good."
The next moment, Zhang Shicheng said, "Our Ruyang Royal Mansion sincerely seeks peace, but you remain stubborn. Since thatâs the case, donât blame us for being ruthlessâfire!"
Swish, swish, swish!
With a command, countless arrows shot from all directions.
Seeing this, Zhang CuiShan, Yin Liting, Fang Zheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang exerted all their strength to fend off the arrows.
The first round of arrows, the second round, the third round.
During the fourth round, Yin Liting fell directly to the ground and couldnât get up. While defending against the arrows, the white smoke couldnât be protected from, and the Heavenly Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder took effect.
The fifth round, sixth round, Fang Zheng couldnât hold on and was squatting on the ground, feeling weak and soft.
Seventh round, eighth round, Zhang CuiShan fell down too, couldnât hold on. This Heavenly Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder was too powerful.
Ninth round!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted. He couldnât hold on anymore, the drug effects of the Heavenly Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder were raging inside him, and he fell.
Couldnât hold on anymore.
Zhang Shicheng gazed at the people fallen all over the ground, with a mocking smile on his face. Who can withstand the courtâs Iron Cavalry under such circumstances? Theyâre all heroes of their time, but they have to die, they have to die!
Thinking this, Zhang Shichengâs mouth curled up.
"Archers, prepare for the fourth round!"
With a command, all archers fully drew their bows.
Listening to the tense sound of those bowstrings being fully extended, everyone present reluctantly closed their eyes.
Itâs over, everything is over.
Zhang CuiShan sighed, "Master, your disciple is ungrateful, canât return."
Yin Liting smiled bitterly, "In two months itâs Masterâs 110th birthday, what a pity we canât return, so unwilling!"
Fang Zheng, Fang Susu stared wide-eyed, "Itâs over, will I just die like this? So unwilling!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also stared wide-eyed, "My ambition, my grand plans, is it to end here, to end here? No, Iâm not willing, not willing!"
Everyone thought like this, but Zhang Shicheng wouldnât give them a chance.
Just then, Zhang Shicheng gave the command, "Fire!"
At that order, suddenly a fierce shout was heard, "How dare you!"
The next moment, the sound of a dragonâs roar suddenly erupted.
Roar, roar, roar...
Boom...
It instantly knocked all the archers down, and at the same time someone descended directly from the sky.
Zhang Shicheng turned his head to look and exclaimed in shock, "Chen Jiusi, you, how come you are here!"
