"Princess, this servant will go out and check the situation outside."
A hint of seriousness appeared on Hongshe's charming face.
Xu Weixiong knew that this maid was no ordinary person.
This woman is outwardly charming but inwardly cold; she is very difficult to approach.
"Red Musk, be careful."
With Xu Weixiong's permission, Hongshe smiled slightly and then calmly left the Tang Prince's Mansion.
Just as Red Musk left, the sounds of fighting suddenly came from outside the Prince's mansion.
Xu Weixiong clearly heard the shouts of the Yongzhou Prefecture army rising and falling.
"Take down the Northern Liang army, and don't let a single one escape!"
While Xu Wei and Xiong Zheng were still in surprise, a large number of Yongzhou soldiers rushed into the Prince's Mansion.
The few guards around him were no match for the many hands and were quickly subdued.
Xu Weixiong had just drawn his Red Dragon Sword when he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder, and the sword fell to the ground.
She turned her head and saw Cao Zhengchun with a gentle smile.
"Now that Miss Xu is here, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"This old servant thinks you are quite attractive. Why don't you stay and become His Highness's concubine?"
Xu Weixiong instinctively tried to resist, but Cao Zhengchun, who was already at the peak of the Profound Realm, was no match for her.
Cao Zhengchun sealed Xu Weixiong's internal energy in just a few moves, and the Hezhou Prefecture army also tied up all one hundred Beiliang soldiers.
Xu Wei was greatly alarmed. The Hezhou Prefecture army was under the command of Tian Zong, but Tian Zong did not have the courage to capture the Northern Liang army.
It seems that the Tang Emperor Li Chang'an, whom we have never met, is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
What does Li Chang'an want to do?
They castrated Chu Lushan and captured the Northern Liang soldiers!
Even the emperor himself wouldn't dare do this in the entire Li Yang Dynasty!
Just as he was filled with fear, he suddenly heard Cao Zhengchun ask the officer a question.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
The officer replied, "His Highness the Tang King has ordered that the Northern Liang soldiers have committed unforgivable crimes of killing innocent people and harming civilians."
"These one hundred Beiliang soldiers were all taken outside the city and dragged to their deaths by warhorses!"
"Please have Eunuch Cao escort Miss Xu to the city gate tower to witness the execution."
Upon hearing the words "dragged to death by warhorses," Xu Weixiong's pupils dilated and his heart pounded wildly!
Some vague fragments from deep within my memory suddenly surged into my mind.
Her mother and sister were dragged to death by Chen Zhibao's warhorses!
Cao Zhengchun said, "Miss Xu, let's go see a show."
An hour later, Xu Weixiong ascended the city wall of Jinzhou.
The city gate was crowded with people who had heard the news and came to watch the execution of these Northern Liang soldiers.
"The Tang Emperor wants to personally oversee the execution of those Northern Liang soldiers!"
"Skewed Chu Lushan, and beheaded the Northern Liang soldiers, that's some guts!"
"That's right! We can't even get bullied like this on our own turf!"
On the city tower, Li Chang'an sat comfortably in a grand chair.
Sitting on the small stool beside him was the governor, looking as aggrieved as a wronged wife.
As the situation escalated, the governor was completely helpless.
Now, Yongzhou has really offended Beiliang to the death!
Li Chang'an turned to look at Xu Weixiong; his aptitude was indeed quite good.
Name: Xu Weixiong
Age: 16 years old
Realm: Confucian School, Second Rank, Late Stage
Talents: Arts and Literature (Rank 1), Intelligence (Rank 2), Management (Rank 2)
Abilities: Chess (Rank 1), Poetry (Rank 2), Espionage (Rank 2), Management (Rank 3)
Emotion: 0
Xu Weixiong was known as the best player in the world at Go, and was the most skilled player besides those unparalleled old monsters.
"Li Chang'an, do you know what you're doing?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Xu Weixiong's face, but there was also a trace of confusion.
What exactly is Li Chang'an planning to do by dragging these soldiers down with him?
Li Chang'an replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "Miss Xu, have you ever met a Tantric monk?"
Xu Weixiong's expression changed slightly, wondering why Li Chang'an asked such a question.
"Of course I've met him. Master Longshou, a disciple of the White-Robed Guanyin of the Red Sect in the Western Regions, is a close friend of Mr. Li, as everyone knows."
The Mr. Li she mentioned was Li Yishan, a brilliant strategist who specialized in training assassins.
Xu Xiao's chief strategist, one of the four great strategists of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Li Chang'an nodded and asked, "Then do you know about the Tantric Buddhist technique of closing one's mind?"
Xu Weixiong was completely baffled, and had never even heard of the so-called art of closing one's mind.
However, what was happening below the city made Xu Weixiong's hair stand on end.
One hundred Yongzhou cavalrymen, each dragging a cloth bag!
Those cloth bags contain soldiers from the Northern Liang!
"Execution!"
At Li Chang'an's command, a hundred horses began to gallop!
Screams echoed from inside the sack, which gradually turned red!
Hard stones on the ground smashed the person in the bag until he was covered in blood and gore!
A long trail of blood was left on the ground!
Xu Weixiong's lips turned blue, and his body trembled uncontrollably! It was as if he had returned to a few years ago!
Her mother and sister were dragged to their deaths in this way!
The culprit is Xu Xiao's other adopted son, Chen Zhibao, the White-Clad Military Genius!
"Mother, sister! No! No!"
"No! Let them go!"
"Chen Zhibao, you beast!"
"what!"
Chapter 176 Xu Wei and Xiong Xiaozhong: We will kill the entire Xu family! (13)
Xu Weixiong's family was tortured and killed by Chen Zhibao, which can be said to be the reason why her family in Beiliang was destroyed.
However, in the original novel, Xu Weixiong was determined to join the Northern Liang camp and was even trained to be a loyal bodyguard to protect Xu Fengnian.
He threw all national and personal grievances to the back of his mind and became a complete brother-supporting demon.
All the values and beliefs in her life were embodied in her younger brother, Xu Fengnian.
Later, after she was seriously injured by Chen Zhibao, her motivation to live was actually Xu Fengnian.
When Li Chang'an read the original novel, he found it utterly incomprehensible.
The main reason is actually the protagonist's halo over Xu Fengnian's head.
This halo attracted many people who should have hated Beiliang and the Xu family to join Beiliang's camp.
In this world, such a halo is actually a blessing of good fortune.
Li Chang'an came into this world to collect fortune.
Without the blessing of good fortune, the enemies of the Xu family are still enemies; they won't become the Xu family's sycophants for no reason.
Just like Xu Weixiong in front of him, Li Chang'an noticed her esoteric Buddhist karmic obstacles the moment he saw her.
A positive and powerful energy is what is known as fortune.
Negative energy is called karmic obstacles in Buddhism, demonic obstacles in Taoism, and evil obstacles in Confucianism.
Li Chang'an had practiced esoteric Buddhist techniques for over ten years, making him more adept at recognizing and controlling esoteric energy than ordinary esoteric masters.
