Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 53

Under the light of a circle of torches around, the oil in the copper tripod was tumbling, and even puffs of black oily smoke came out. Everyone bowed devoutly again, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao stared wide-eyed.

Liu He supported Zhang Bao, and slowly stepped onto the gossip made of bluestones. He used his sword again, murmured words, and burned the paper money, full of style.

Then he yelled and pointed to the sky, as if guiding some mysterious power in the void, then rolled up the sleeves of the Taoist robe, and Liu He helped hold the skirt.

Zhang Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a pious expression, and guided that force to put his hand into the copper tripod.

stab-

"Ah..." The sound of deep frying sounded, and Zhang Bao let out a miserable scream.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Liu He was shocked, and hurried forward to support Zhang Bao.

It seemed that he was supporting Zhang Bao, but in fact, he secretly pressed Zhang Bao's shoulder with force, and instead pressed his entire arm into the copper tripod.

"what--"

Zhang Bao was trembling all over, with a ferocious expression on his face, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, screaming and struggling to withdraw his arm, but how could his strength be as strong as Liu He's?
Chi Chi Chi——

The boiling oil in the copper cauldron was frying his arms, the oil and water splashed, and puffs of black smoke rose up, giving off a burnt smell.

Zhang Bao's screams were like a ghost, scaring the surrounding attendants back away, and the worshiping congregation raised their heads in astonishment, watching this scene in horror.

In fact, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Bao passed out from the pain. Liu He helped him up, and his entire arm had been cooked by boiling oil, which was horrible.

"It's not good, the patriarch has surrendered and accepted the law!" Liu He yelled when he saw Zhang Bao's arm.

Several attendants came up and saw that Zhang Bao was injured by the boiling oil, their complexion changed drastically, they were panicked and didn't know what to do for a while.

Yan Zheng came up with his guards, saw Zhang Bao's miserable state, took two steps back in fright, and asked in surprise, "This... what should we do?"

Liu He said loudly: "The patriarch has accepted the spell, the general is a sinner now, everyone run!"

Yan Zheng was startled, pointed at Liu He with a knife and roared, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's all a trick to deceive people!" Zhou Cangzao watched for a long time, rushed through the crowd, shouted and slashed at Yan Zheng.

"How dare you..." Yan Zhengcai turned around, and Zhou Cang beheaded him unpreparedly, Gululu rolled to the side.

"General Digong's spell is not effective, everyone run—"

At this time, Cheng Pu, who was hiding among the bandits, shouted loudly, and the followers around him also shouted. There was chaos on the street, and the bandits fled in panic.

Liu He was still supporting Zhang Bao at this time, and his whole body was drenched in sweat. Although he had woken up, he couldn't speak a word. The pain and the numbness of his tongue made him stare angrily at all this.

Liu He replaced the alkaline water with prickly ash water in advance, and Zhang Bao drank a few sips in a hurry, his tongue became numb and he couldn't make an order, so he came to get the magic weapon in a daze, not wanting to replace the vinegar water with real boiling oil, Reap the consequences.

"The patriarch committed a crime and confiscated the mana of the general, he must have betrayed the sect—"

Liu He grabbed Zhang Bao's shoulders and said to the attendants around him: "Kill him quickly and help our ancestors get rid of the traitors!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and struggled to speak.

"Hurry up!" Liu He pulled out the scimitar of the attendant who was stunned beside him, and chopped off Zhang Bao's head with one stroke.

puff-

Blood was sprayed, and Zhang Bao's body fell down. Liu He held his head, and the attendants around him retreated in fright.

Someone finally came to his senses, drew a knife to attack, and shouted: "Kill him, this is a traitor!"

Liu He took the head and hid behind the bronze tripod, kicked it over, and boiling oil suddenly splashed out. Several people who rushed over first were injured by the oil and water, and they immediately screamed and ran away.

Then he grabbed a few torches and threw them at the copper tripod. When the boiling oil met the fire, it burst into flames with a whoosh, and the whole Fatai was ignited with black smoke billowing into a mess.

At this time Zhou Cang had already killed Yan Zheng who was guarding the ashram, and Du Yuan was still maintaining order in the distance. He didn't know what was going on, but saw the flames soaring into the sky, so he quickly brought people over.

At this time, Cheng Pu had already led his troops close to Liu He, joined Zhou Cang, and headed towards the north gate. Pei Yuanshao had already led his men to meet him at the north gate.

Several people walked and killed without encountering too much obstacles. The bandit army in the city was already in chaos, and those in the distance didn't know what happened, they just fled in panic.

Zhou Cang rushed to the front with a knife in hand, saw Pei Yuanshao looking around at the top of the city, and shouted, "Open the city gate!"

Pei Yuanshao had been prepared for a long time and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.

Rumbling--

With the sound of a heavy door opening, a group of people rushed in impatiently. The first one was red-faced and long-bearded, holding a big knife, majestic.

"Ah? It's Guan Yunchang——"

Zhou Cang was so excited that he opened his mouth and exclaimed that Guan Yu had already led the cavalry roaring past, heading straight for the government office.

Liu He pushed the stunned Zhou Cang: "Go and open the south gate!"

Zhou Cang came to his senses and called Pei Yuanshao to rush to the south gate, while Liu He and Cheng Pu led troops to the east gate.

The general guarding the east gate didn't know why, Cheng Pu rushed forward and chopped off his head with a single knife.

Liu He ordered people to open the east gate. Zhang Fei had been waiting outside for a long time, urged his horse to gallop in, and laughed to Liu He in the city: "Hahaha, I really have you!"

Before he had time to salute, he rushed straight to the street. The cavalry under Zhang Fei's command were all elites.

From the tower, Liu He saw that the cavalry led by Zhang Fei was almost like a tank, leaving only broken arms and limbs, a mess.

In Xiaquyang City, only the West Gate had no officers and soldiers, and the rebel army fled westward one after another. There was basically no decent resistance. In less than an hour, the entire city was occupied by officers and soldiers.

It was not yet midnight, when Liu He came to the government office, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others all came to join him, everyone was covered in blood, but they still had something to say.

Zhang Fei wiped the blood on the snake spear and shook his head: "These thieves are really not enough to kill, they are meaningless!"

"Captain Guan, I'll bring you two heroes." At this moment, Cheng Pu led his troops in.

Guan Yu was looking for Liu He, and when he saw Cheng Pu coming first, he wondered, "What kind of hero?"

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao followed Cheng Pu in, feeling uneasy, seeing that Cheng Pu recognized Guan Yu, they were even more puzzled.

Cheng Pu patted Zhou Cang: "Haven't you met Captain Guan?"

Zhou Cang was so excited at this moment that he didn't care to think too much, so he hurriedly brought Pei Yuanshao to Guan Yu, knelt down and said: "We have admired the strong man Guan for a long time, and we are willing to surrender to the subordinates, hoping to accept him."

"What's the situation?" Guan Yu was stunned seeing these two people kneeling in front of him suddenly.

Zhou Cang clasped his fists and said: "Next Zhou Cang is a rough man. Because he was coaxed by Zhang Bao, he lost his identity and became a thief. He has admired heroes for a long time. When we meet today, as if seeing the sun again, I am willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. I will follow the left and right for the rest of my life, even if I die!"

Pei Yuanshao also hurriedly said, "Me too!"
