Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1194

"Stubborn!"

Looking down at him from his elevated position, Yuan Tiangang saw the overconfident Zhou Yu charging towards him.

He blurted it out with disdain in his eyes.

'Shuh! '

Just as the raging flames in his palm were about to strike him, the Grand Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty casually flicked his right arm.

The next second, the seemingly dazzling flames in the darkness vanished instantly, and a ray of golden light struck Zhou Yu squarely in the face.

'Snapped. '

'puff! '

"Grand Governor."

Zhou Yu, who was instantly knocked to the ground, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The deputy and adjutant immediately abandoned their horses and rushed forward to help the man up.

At this moment, Zhou, the Grand Commander, whose teeth seemed to have been shattered by the blow, was in a state of extreme mental confusion.

After being given breathing exercises, he finally regained his senses.

"Is it really... really Yuan Tiangang?"

This slap was a wake-up call for Zhou Yu.

Compared to the physical pain, the sense of loss he felt was even harder for him to accept.

How can it be?

[Strange changes at the imperial tomb, demons running rampant] You, Master Yuan, aren't you going to do anything about it?

Or should we just send some people over to hold off Zuo Guzi and Di Mo?

Should we wait until things are completely resolved here before leading our troops to provide reinforcements?

But what other tricks does he have up his sleeve?

The overwhelming disparity in troop strength meant that even if they won the initial battle, they would eventually face a slow and inevitable demise.

It should be noted that the combined forces of the Jiangnan and Jiujiang navies number nearly 200,000!

Just as Zhou Yu and the Jiangnan naval officers and soldiers were experiencing a mix of emotions, Yuan Tiangang, high above them, gazed at the lightning-streaked imperial mausoleum and muttered, "It should be over soon at the imperial mausoleum."

"Now that I am here, you all must surrender..."

"I can still spare your lives on the grounds of 'self-reflection'."

"But what if Xu Shan returns and takes complete command of the scene..."

At this point, Yuan Tiangang paused briefly, looked down at the entire audience, and said, "Whether you are still alive or not is not something I can decide."

"Xu Jianzheng, who earned the infamous title of 'Xu the Butcher' in Shu County, has always been in charge of killing but not of burying the dead."

"I have a quarter of an hour to think it over carefully."

It wasn't that Yuan Tiangang was soft-hearted, but rather that he wanted to consider the overall situation.

This time, Zhou Yu and his men brought with them the strength of the Jiangnan Navy, which had been built up over more than ten years ago—an army of 100,000 men—to the capital.

Given Xu Shan's ruthless and decisive nature, if he were to truly unleash a massacre...

The efforts of the Jiangnan Navy over more than ten years have not only come to naught, but will also cause the people of Jiangnan to harbor resentment towards Emperor Jingtai.

It should be noted that these 100,000-plus naval soldiers all came from families in the Jiangnan region.

They are all the pillars of their families.

Indiscriminate killing will leave tens of thousands of families without their backbone and secretly harbor hatred towards the imperial court.

This is detrimental to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if they continue to be so stubborn...

Yuan Tiangang was no pushover either.

Those who deserve it should be killed, those who deserve it should be scratched!

'boom.'

When Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, an even more jarring uproar erupted in the already agitated scene!

Compared to the lofty and legendary Grand Preceptor of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Tianshi, the people of Jiangnan have a more direct understanding of Xu Bantian, who once caused rivers of blood to flow in Suzhou and Wuxi.

In the case of the Duke of Qing, Xu Shan and his Imperial Guards did not tolerate any aristocratic families or powerful clans.

With a swift and decisive strike, the very foundation of the Donglin Party was shaken.

He's a ruthless monster who doesn't tolerate anyone when he gets angry!

It is said that this time, as an imperial envoy, he entered Shu and slaughtered all the Shu military clans and their generals who dared to say 'no' to him.

Xu's infamous reputation as a butcher spread far and wide because of this!

Sensing other information from Yuan Tiangang's words, Zhou Yu and his subordinates immediately asked in surprise, "Xu, Xu Shan?"

"Shouldn't he be in Shu County?"

When did you return to Beijing?

Faced with their questions, Yuan Tiangang merely smiled contemptuously, turned around calmly, and said, "The countdown has begun."

As soon as he finished speaking, the accompanying servants brought an hourglass and placed it in full view of everyone.

As the fine sand continued to seep in and fall, the soldiers who had miraculously survived were filled with anguish.

They first looked at their commander, then stared at each other, stunned.

"Do not easily believe their fallacies and mislead the public."

"Even if Xu Shan comes back, he can only bring three battalions at most."

“We not only have a navy of 100,000 men, but also the Jiujiang navy attacking us from both the front and the rear.”

"Even if Xu Shan and Yuan Tiangang are exceptionally strong, how many of them can they kill?"

An old adjutant who had followed Zhou Yu for a long time immediately stood up and shouted.

They hoped to stabilize morale in this way.

'bass! ’

'Pfft. '

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a cold arrow, imbued with hidden force, pierced his skull.

"what!"

The next second, he fell to the ground with a thud, causing panic among the soldiers.

A few breaths later, everyone looked in the direction from which the arrow had been shot and saw a middle-aged man on the city wall wearing a python robe and a crown slowly putting away his long arrow.

"That, that's..."

"Prince Ning?"

"It really is Prince Ning."

"How come he's standing with the Celestial Master?"

"And he even personally shot and killed our adjutant general?"

Originally, upon hearing his words, the soldiers still had some hope.

But now, seeing the Prince of Ning standing right behind Yuan Tiangang, his heart sank to the bottom.

Even Zhou Yu turned pale at this moment.

"Ning, Prince Ning, you, you..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, the 'Prince Ning' who was actually Elder Zhenwu in disguise said directly: "True Soul Puppet, possessing the Witch Minister's body!"

"Grand Commander Zhou, my two princes died a truly tragic death."

"If it weren't for Supervisor Xu exposing Yang Zeqing's conspiracy, I would have truly become Zhu Wushang's [True Soul Puppet]."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Upon hearing 'Prince Ning's' words, Zhou Yu, who had just regained his footing, staggered back several steps.

If no one had helped him up, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

In fact, when he said these words, the generals who were familiar with the whole plan knew that they had failed at the last moment and were in complete defeat!

"The Jiujiang Navy and the Jiangxi garrison have now completely submitted to the imperial court."

"We have joined forces with the naval forces of the two lakes and the elite troops of the Central Plains, and have secured the entrance according to Xu Jianzheng's instructions. We are already waiting for you to arrive in the heart of the capital."

"This time, let alone your 100,000-strong navy..."

"Even if it's two or three hundred thousand, it's impossible to escape!"

The words of the Prince of Ning were like the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Jiangnan Navy, causing the still hesitant Jiangnan naval commanders and soldiers to completely lose heart and despair.

They knew that there was no way for their side to turn the tide in this game!

'Clatter.'

When a soldier voluntarily threw down his weapon, the others followed suit.

"surrender!"

"We surrender."

"Please have mercy, Celestial Master, we surrender..."
