Chapter 153: Situ Mingzhu obtains Qingluo Yi's life beast, the change of Qingyun City
Lu Ming and the other two continued to go deeper into Black Wind Ridge.
It seemed that the previous war had reduced the number of monsters here. They only encountered a dozen monsters after walking for half an hour.
The three of them walked forward and came to a place with particularly lush vegetation.
Situ Mingzhu said: "Let's check this place carefully. Qing Luoyi likes this kind of environment the most."
"No need to check, there is indeed Qingluoyi here!"
Under Lu Ming's double pupils, Qingluoyi had nowhere to hide. What surprised him even more was that there were actually five Qingluoyi here.
He looked at Situ Mingzhu: "You are lucky, we found Qing Luoyi's lair."
"Here are five Qingluoyi. Your wish may come true!"
Situ Mingzhu asked excitedly: "Where is it?"
"It's there!"
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared, and a silver-backed mantis appeared. It then swung its knife-like forelimbs rapidly, and countless wind blades slammed into the trees in front.
Qingluoyi, who was hiding in it, realized that she had been exposed, so she stopped disguising herself and immediately launched a defense.
Seeing Qingluoyi appear, Situ Mingzhu's eyes lit up and he quickly summoned out all his life beasts.
"Kill me!"
Although there are five Qingluoyi here, they cannot escape the fate of death when facing Lu Ming and his two companions.
twenty minutes later
Situ Mingzhu looked at the fallen Qingluoyi beast soul with a happy face and quickly put it into the book of fate.
"Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
Situ Mingzhu bowed deeply to Lu Ming and A Le: "Thank you, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have obtained Qingluoyi as my life beast."
"That's not necessary, we are friends."
Ah Le also said: "Yes, it's normal to help friends."
He rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, if you feel bad and want to thank us, you can give us some gold coins. Three or five hundred thousand is not too much!"
Although Situ Mingzhu had only known Lu Ming and A Le for two days, he knew that A Le liked money, he said frankly.
"When we get back to the city, I'll give you one million gold coins!"
Ah Le was overjoyed: "You are a prince of a country, you must keep your word."
"Of course!"
At this moment, the three of them vaguely heard a dense rumbling sound.
The direction from which the sound came was where Qingyun City was located.
"What happened? Was there thunder?"
Lu Ming and A Le's expressions became very solemn. They were very familiar with the sound just now. It was the sound of the demon-killing cannon.
Qingyun City is eighty kilometers away from Qingyun Mountain. The sound of artillery fire can be heard here, which shows that a big battle must have taken place there.
"What happen to you guys?"
Situ Mingzhu noticed the changes in their expressions and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"That's the sound of the demon-killing cannon. Something must have happened in Qingyun City."
Lu Ming told Situ Mingzhu his judgment, which made him suddenly nervous.
His face was solemn. "It was very unusual for Du Hu's guards to come and arrest me before. Now it seems that they may have already plotted treason. I have to rush back as soon as possible."
"Then let's go together."
After a few breaths, the three of them rode on the flying beasts and rushed towards Qingyun City.
At this time, there was smoke outside Qingyun City, and an army of tens of thousands of people was stepping up its siege.
This army was called the Tiger Army, and was the direct force of General Du Hu. When Situ Jiannan took action, Du Hu realized something was wrong and sent people to transfer this army into the city.
Fortunately, Situ Jiannan acted quickly and took control of the city defense before the army entered the city and closed the city gates in time.
General's Mansion
Du Hu sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, and the eight-immortals table next to him had been smashed into pieces by him.
A soldier walked in quickly.
"General, the street entrance is about to be lost. The imperial guards will enter the palace in half an hour at most!"
Du Hu's face became even uglier when he heard this.
"What's the situation at the city gate? Have the Tiger Army entered the city?"
"Ten minutes ago, we received intelligence that the Tiger Army was blocked outside the city and it will be difficult for them to enter the city in the short term."
"waste!"
Du Hu roared angrily.
"I put all my efforts into building the Tiger Army, so how come we can't break through this small city defense force?"
"General, the king, Situ Jiannan, has placed a large number of demon-killing cannons on the city walls. The fire is so fierce that the Tiger Army can hardly resist it."
"Situ Jiannan!" Du Hu looked towards the direction of the palace and said gritting his teeth.
"I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you could plan this for so long under my nose!"
He looked at the soldiers beside him and said, "Find a way to get out of the city. Tell the Tiger Army that they must enter the city within half an hour."
"Yes!"
After the soldiers left, Du Hu sighed, "I still underestimated the enemy!"
When Situ Jiannan just attacked him, Du Hu could have just left the city directly.
Unfortunately, he was too confident, thinking that he had gained control of all the forces in the city over the years. He did not expect that the other party would destroy most of his plans in an instant.
It is no longer possible to leave the city!
When Lu Ming and his two companions returned to Qingyun City, they were shocked by the scene before them.
There were piles of corpses outside the city and smoke was heard everywhere inside the city.
The king, Situ Jiannan, personally stood on the top of the city wall and directed the defense of the city.
He knew very well that the key to victory lies in whether the city gate can be defended. As long as the city defense is not lost, Du Hu in the city will die sooner or later!
When he saw Situ Mingzhu, his face lit up with joy.
"Mingzhu, I'm glad you're okay!"
"Father!" Situ Mingzhu felt relieved after seeing that his father was safe and sound.
"Father, is it Du Hu who is rebelling?"
"That's right!"
Situ Mingzhu's eyes flashed coldly: "Where is he? I will capture him for you!"
"No need, I have already arranged someone, you should go back to the palace and rest."
Situ Mingzhu rolled his eyes and said, "I will take my leave from here. I will wait for your triumphant return in the palace."
"Okay, go back now!"
After Situ Mingzhu brought Lu Ming and the others down the city wall, they did not return to the palace, but went straight to the general's mansion.
Ah Le scratched his head: "Aren't you going back to the palace?"
"How is that possible? I just don't want my father to worry!"
"I haven't forgotten that Du Hu sent people to hunt me down before. I must avenge myself!"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "It just so happens that I also want to settle a score with him, let's do it together!"
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, the Imperial Guards had just broken down the gate, and Du Hu was leading the remaining soldiers to resist.
The moment Situ Mingzhu saw Du Hu, he couldn't help but burst out with murderous intent.
In the shining light, all the beasts of destiny were summoned.
"Du Hu, today is your day of death, kill me!"
When Du Hu saw Situ Mingzhu, his face darkened.
"It seems that Mark Hua and his team have failed!"
But soon a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"As long as I can capture Situ Mingzhu, there may be a glimmer of hope today!"
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his beast to go forward.
Lu Ming, who was standing aside, also burst out with terrifying murderous intent when he saw Du Hu.
Although it was the first time he met him, he already hated Du Hu to the core.
It was because of him that the bandits massacred the village, and his second mother and all the villagers died tragically. All this was thanks to Du Hu.
The light flashed, and the beast of destiny was sent by him to join the battle.
At the same time, the Blue Star Sword at his waist was unsheathed, and Lu Ming rushed forward with the sword. He wanted to fight Du Hu personally!
