This shit can't stand it anymore

Chapter 514 Who else?

Just as Di Xin finished speaking, the air in the palace seemed to freeze, and a heavy breath quietly filled the air. Then, a low and confident voice broke the silence: "Your Majesty, although the four great princes have many soldiers and generals, they are not of the same mind. The army of more than one million people seems unstoppable, but in fact it is a piece of scattered sand and is nothing to be afraid of. .”

The sound came suddenly and unexpectedly. Di Xin looked up suddenly and saw a figure walking out of the darkness. He was wearing a black battle robe and a heavy bronze sword on his waist. The hilt was carved with complex patterns, which made it appear that Simple and mysterious.

"Who are you?" Di Xin was shocked. He didn't expect that someone could sneak into his palace quietly.

"I am Wen Zhong."

As Wen Zhong spoke, he slowly walked up to Di Xin and looked at him calmly.

His face is resolute, his eyes are like lightning, and there is a tightly closed vertical eye on his forehead, giving people a sense of calmness and self-power. His appearance was like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, catching people off guard.

"Wen Zhong? Leader of the Linhuan Pass rebels?"

An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Di Xin's heart.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Daji.

The fact that the other party could appear in the palace quietly must have something to do with Su Daji.

Su Daji stood next to Di Xin, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and whispered in Di Xin's ear: "Your Majesty, those princes want to get rid of us, but he is the only one willing to spare our lives... How about... Wouldn’t it be better if we just surrender and find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to stay and fly together?”

Di Xin's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He glanced at Su Daji. The woman who once made him crazy about her now made him feel a little inexplicable fear.

He knew in his heart that Su Daji had her own calculations behind her words, but he also knew that he had no choice.

The crisis in Chaoge City, his country and the country, as well as his love and hatred with Su Daji, everything has reached the moment when a decision must be made.

He took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart, and then slowly said to Wen Zhong: "Wen Zhong, are you really willing to let Gu go? Aren't you afraid of Gu Dongshan's comeback?"

Wen Zhong smiled slightly and replied confidently: "If your Majesty can make a comeback, you might as well come back and take back the world."

Di Xin looked at Wen Zhong's firm eyes, and the defense in his heart was gradually broken.

He knew that this might be his only chance to survive and his last bet.

He nodded slowly in agreement.

Di Xin's heart felt like it was overturned. His hands tightly held the armrests of the dragon chair, and his knuckles turned white from excessive exertion. There was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. The once invincible Shang King was now bowing to a rebel leader. His self-esteem, his glory, everything about him was burnt to ashes by the ruthless fire of war.

But his survival instinct told him that this was the only way out. He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner struggle and unwillingness, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Zhong, Gu agrees to surrender. But you must ensure that the lives of Gu and Daji are not threatened."

Wen Zhong nodded, his eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts: "Your Majesty, I, Wen Zhong, always mean what I say. As long as Your Majesty does not raise troops to resist, I guarantee the safety of Your Majesty and Daji. As for Chaoge City, we will meet tomorrow When we enter the city at dusk, your Majesty, please open the city gates to welcome our troops."

The corner of Di Xin's mouth twitched, and he knew that he was signing his own death sentence invisibly. But he had no choice. He could only agree: "Okay, I will do what you say."

Wen Zhong nodded slightly, turned and left, his figure gradually blurring in the night until he disappeared.

The night became darker and darker, and Di Xin returned to his palace. His eyes were empty, and the despair in his heart was as deep as the night. He looked at Daji, the former confidante who had now become his only support. He whispered: "Daji, tomorrow evening, everything will be over."

Daji gently held his hand, with imperceptible sadness in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Daji will stay with you no matter what."

The next day, night fell as promised, and under the command of Wen Zhong, the Linhuan Pass army, like cheetahs in the dark night, quietly launched a fierce attack on Dong Bohou's camp. Their actions were quick and decisive, and for a while, Dongbohou's camp fell into chaos.

Although the soldiers of Dongbohou Camp were brave, a huge hole was quickly torn open in the defense line under Wen Zhong's well-planned night attack. Wen Zhong's army surged into Chaoge City like a tidal wave.

Di Xin watched all this on the city wall, with mixed feelings in his heart. He looked at the soldiers who had sworn to defend Chaoge, but now, under his orders, they laid down their weapons and welcomed the enemy's invasion.

His heart was filled with pain and powerlessness, but he also knew that this was the only thing he could do. In order to survive and for Daji, he had to do this.

The fate of Chaoge City completely changed on this night.

Before night falls, the Linhuan Pass army is like a ghost in the night, quietly occupying every corner of Chaoge City. On the streets, the former prosperity has been replaced by a tense atmosphere. Soldiers patrol silently, their eyes cold and firm, as if any attempt to disrupt order will be ruthlessly suppressed.

In the palace, Wen Zhong stood on the high city wall, looking down at the newly conquered city with burning eyes. His military orders were like mountains, and his strict military laws made all soldiers as tight as bowstrings, daring not to relax at all. The military camp in Chaoge City was completely controlled in just a few hours, and not even a blade of grass dared to move.

In the Xiqi Camp far outside the city, Jiang Ziya was holding the soldier talisman in his hand, his brows furrowed and anger flashing in his eyes. Although he had regarded Wen Zhong as his biggest opponent a long time ago, he never expected that Chaoge City would fall into the hands of his opponent when he was about to capture it.

This guy actually took away the fruits of victory that should have belonged to him right under his nose!

"Send the order, the whole army is ready to attack the city!"

Jiang Ziya's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger, and he tapped his fingers tightly on the desk.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's not yet dawn, should we wait until dawn?" A Xiqi general made a cautious suggestion.

"Wait until daybreak?!" Jiang Ziya angrily yelled, "Chaoge City is now in disarray. This is the best time for us to attack the city!"

Under his command, the war drums of Xiqi's army shook the heaven and earth, and the siege horns pierced the silent night sky.

On the wall of Chaoge City, Wen Zhong stood quietly, watching Jiang Ziya's army coming like a tide in the distance, with a faint sneer on his lips.

Yes, although he just took over Chaoge peacefully, there must still be many big businessmen who are not convinced.

This is the time when this mighty city is at its weakest.

It was also the perfect time to attack the city.

Jiang Ziya seized this opportunity, but did not expect that Wen Zhong already had a way to deal with it.

In the name of Emperor Xin, he gave all officers and men a first-level official rank and a first-level promotion, and also gave a large amount of cloth, dried meat, etc. as rewards to stabilize the morale of the army.

Although this method is simple and crude, it is surprisingly effective.

After all, the officers and soldiers of the Great Shang were not that loyal to Emperor Xin, to the extent that they would risk everything to protect the orthodoxy of the Great Shang.

Now Wen Zhong has given them generous enough rewards, and they are still living well even if God Xin is involved. They accept the rewards with peace of mind and follow Wen Zhong's orders. Everything is logical and natural. Wen Zhong did not directly deprive the generals of their military power, but still gave them enough respect and trust so that their interests were not affected in any way.

As a result, the soldiers and civilians of Chaoge had a good impression of Linhuan's army.

At this moment, Xiqi's army invaded again. Wen Zhong immediately ordered a group of soldiers to defend according to the original plan without too much intervention.

He just ordered Linhuan's army to assemble at various city gates.

Firstly, it was to lay an ambush to prevent Xiqi's army from attacking the city. Secondly, it could also serve as a military governor.

The war drums of Xiqi's army echoed outside Chaoge City, and the sound of horns pierced the night sky, deafening. Jiang Ziya's eyes were burning with anger, and his generals were also in high morale, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, the walls of Chaoge City are impenetrable. Wen Zhong had already made preparations. Inspired by him, Dashang's soldiers were full of fighting spirit and defended the city like iron barrels. The rain of arrows on the city wall was like a torrential downpour. The siege ladders of Xiqi's army were overturned again and again. The siege soldiers fell down wailing under the rain of arrows and hot boiling oil.

At dawn, Xiqi's army had suffered heavy casualties, the siege ladder was badly damaged, and corpses were piled up like mountains. Jiang Ziya watched his army collapse under Chaoge City, and the anger and helplessness in his heart became a mess. He knew that if this continued, the soldiers would die in vain.

With his eyes fixed on the city wall, he finally ordered the entire army to retreat.

After the army withdrew, Jiang Ziya rode on the legendary Sibuxiang and came to the foot of Chaoge City in person. He shouted towards the top of the city: "Ask Wen Zhong to come out and answer!"

On the city wall, Wen Zhong heard Jiang Ziya's call. He smiled slightly, mounted his mount and slowly walked out of the city gate.

When Kang was angry, he brought him to Jiang Ziya.

The two of them were tens of feet apart, their eyes met, and the atmosphere was tense.

Jiang Ziya was the first to speak, with unquestionable majesty in his voice: "Wen Zhong, do you know that Shang's destruction of Zhou Xing was in compliance with the way of heaven! Do you really think you can go against heaven? If you persist in your stubbornness, you will eventually reap the consequences."

"Follow the way of heaven?"

Wen Zhong laughed loudly, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Jiang Ziya, the way of heaven you talk about is just the way of heaven that you explain and teach! Today's imperial songs are no longer the imperial songs of the past, and the land of Xiqi Zhou is not the way of heaven. The land of Linhuanhuai is where destiny belongs.

Otherwise, how could Chaoge fall into my hands? "

"Humph!"

Jiang Ziya snorted coldly and said, "Stubborn."

Above the sky, clouds rolled, and thunder sounded faintly.

Disciples of the Chan sect such as Wei Hu and Li Jing were intertwined with disciples of the Jie sect such as Ao Yi and Shi Ji, and a fierce battle began. The magic weapons are overflowing with brilliance, magical powers are fighting, and every impact seems to tear the sky apart.

Wei Hu held a vajra pestle, and the shadow of the pestle was like a mountain. Every blow was accompanied by the sound of gold and iron, which made the clouds in the sky tremble. Li Jing, on the other hand, waved the pagoda, and the shadows of the pagoda were layered on top of each other, like a real mountain, pressing towards his opponent.

Ao Yi was wearing dragon scale armor, and the dragon-shaped aura was tumbling around him, turning into dragon shadows, clashing head-on with Wei Hu's vajra. Shi Ji, on the other hand, clenched his fists with both hands and punched fiercely. Each punch carried the power of a violent storm as he faced off against Li Jing's pagoda.

This battle undoubtedly shook the world and attracted the attention of all the monks watching the battle.

At this moment, Deng Chanyu saw the battle in the sky and couldn't help but be eager to try.

Wearing armor and holding a long sword in her hand, with fighting intent flashing in her eyes, she offered her hand to Wen Zhongyi and volunteered to step forward to call for battle.

"Let me meet these religious fanatics!"

Her voice was clear but firm.

After getting Wen Zhong's consent, she rode her horse and rushed to the battle, pointed at the opponent's Xiqi army and said: "Who dares to fight with me?"

Jiang Ziya couldn't help but frown secretly when he saw a woman coming to call for battle.

Tu Xingsun behind him saw that Deng Chanyu was as beautiful as a flower, and with a lustful thought in his heart, he quickly volunteered to fight. He jumped out, stood in front of the formation, looked at Deng Chanyu, and said teasingly: "Beauty, come on, come on, play with me."

When Deng Chanyu heard these obscene words, her face suddenly darkened and her heart burned with anger.

"How dare you, a short and ugly person, be so arrogant in front of this girl!"

She scolded angrily and took out a dazzling five-light stone from her waist.

The five-light stone rotated in her hand, emitting a dazzling light. Deng Chanyu muttered something in her mouth, and the five-light stone instantly turned into a stream of light and went straight to Tu Xingsun.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tu Xingsun quickly changed his body shape to avoid this sudden attack. But the five-light stone seemed to have spirituality, pursuing it closely, and its brilliance shone in all directions, making Tu Xingsun nowhere to hide.

There was a loud "bang" sound, and the five-light stone hit Tu Xingsun on the shoulder, causing him to stagger and run away with his head in his hands.

Tu Xingsun quickly used the earth escape technique, and his short figure shuttled through the soil, trying to get rid of the five-light stone that followed him like a shadow.

Seeing this, Deng Chanyu raised a proud smile at the corner of her mouth. Her figure danced like a flying swallow, and followed closely behind. The long sword in her hand was pointed at Tu Xingsun. The cold light on the tip of the sword was like the Big Dipper star, cold and threatening.

As soon as Tu Xingsun emerged from the soil, he was hit by the Five Light Stone.

Just as he was feeling dizzy, a cold sharp blade directly passed through his neck, causing his ugly head to fly into the sky.

"Puff puff~"

Warm blood spurted out from his neck, and Tu Xingsun's headless body twitched a few times before falling to the ground helplessly.

Deng Chanyu wiped the blood off the sword with satisfaction and looked proudly at Xiqi's army.

"Who else?"
