Chapter 1491 The Final Battle, Qi the Angel Takes Action
Silence fell over the room after these words were spoken.
"General Chu, you're busy fighting the enemy. I, the angel, will take care of catching the traitor!" Angel Qi stood up and left the new command tent, heading outside.
Soon, from the courtyard outside, three whistling arrows shot into the air, their whistling sounds echoing in all directions.
Upon hearing the sound of the arrow, the hidden Northwest Army soldiers and their elite troops, like falcons, rushed towards the location from which the arrow had been fired.
Commander Gan hurriedly informed General Chu inside the room: "The Qi envoy is serious, General..."
Xiao Gan didn't say anything that could influence General Chu's decision. He was General Chu's personal guard commander, and his only military duty was to protect General Chu and the safety of the command tent.
General Chu remained silent for a while before saying, "All the dead soldiers under Da Gan's command will be placed under the command of the Qi envoy."
Commander Gan was overjoyed; General Chu was on the side of eliminating the traitor!
"Yes." Commander Gan went out to tell Angel Qi the good news.
Qi Tianshi refused: "Such a cruel thing is best left to me, a dead eunuch. General Chu is a general of the Wei army; he should only fight the enemy and not do something that would tarnish his reputation."
What would you do to tarnish your reputation?
Commander Gan dared not even think about it; just thinking about it terrified him!
A beeping sound rang out outside the house. Qi Tianshi instructed Xiao Gan Qianhu: "Tell General Chu not to be surprised by any rumors he hears these past two days. He should continue to fight against foreign enemies for Great Wei as usual. This envoy takes his leave."
After saying this, he deftly flicked his sleeves with both hands, making the wide sleeves fit snugly against his wrists, then twisted one corner of the sleeve and tucked it inside. With a clang, he drew out a dagger and brandished it at Commander Gan: "Bestowed by His Majesty, it bears the four characters 'Slay the enemy for me'."
Help! Qi Tianshi is about to unleash a massacre! The capital city is likely to be drenched in blood.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Tianshi had left the courtyard. The sound of horses' hooves quickly rose and then disappeared into the distance.
"Send a message to the Prince of Ye, Lord Yan, Deputy General Lang, and Mushan." General Chu instructed Commander Gan: "Just kill a few, don't kill too many, or Qi Shitian will also be dealt with."
If Qi Tianshi dies in battle, that would be fine. But if they win this battle and Qi Tianshi returns to the capital, his 'madness' will definitely be exposed, and in the end, His Majesty will have no choice but to sacrifice this eunuch to maintain the balance of power in the court.
"Yes." Commander Gan immediately dispatched a group of soldiers to deliver the message.
One group is enough, since the message can only be delivered to the next post. When we reach the fork in the road, the post there will send two groups of people to deliver the message.
They were all in the west of the city, and about 15 minutes later, the Prince of Ye and his men received the news.
Lord Yan's face was extremely ugly. That Qi fellow was a madman, no wonder he was brought up by Emperor Wuxing!
"Prince Ye, Deputy General Lang, you must immediately send someone to find the Imperial Envoy Qi. He can arrest the suspect, but he cannot kill someone without evidence." Lord Yan was a very competent civil official. Even at this time, he still acted from the perspective of an official appointed by the court.
Deputy General Lang was eager for Angel Qi to kill all those who caused the chaos, so as to restore peace to the capital city, and thus pretended not to hear.
King Ye could not turn a blind eye, so he immediately wrote a royal decree ordering Judge Zheng to chase after the envoy Qi and stop him at the crucial moment.
"Zheng Tongpan alone is probably not enough." Lord Yan cursed the Prince of Ye in his heart and directly called on Elder Qiong: "Please take a group of students with you, Elder Qiong."
You guys go and take notes; hopefully, the guy surnamed Qi will behave himself.
“I am a renowned scholar, and it is indeed my duty to act as a notary and witness,” said Master Qiong without hesitation. He then looked at the group of students in the hall and said, “Those who wish to come with me, please follow me. Those who do not wish to come, please continue to record here.”
"You are already outstanding individuals for keeping historical records for the Great Wei when the city was besieged by foreign enemies. Whether you go with us this time or not will not tarnish your reputation as outstanding individuals."
"I'm willing to go!" No need to guess, it was Si Pei.
"The students are willing to go along..."
"The students are also willing to go..." "What Angel Qi is going to do must be a big deal. It's such a rare opportunity. The students are fortunate to have encountered it, so of course they have to go."
Students such as Qi Yucong, Shen Yinming, Wu Lianshu, Lu Qingyu, Su Baitai, Dong Chengxin, Ning Jinghui, Yang Zeru, Yu Chenghao, and Xu Ji signed up one after another.
"Student Wen Xiangnan is willing to go!" Wen Xiangnan shouted loudly, and Kang Lang couldn't help but glance at him.
"It is a great blessing for the Great Wei to have such students." The King of Ye was very pleased. He then looked at Qin Xiaogu beside him and saw the light in his eyes. He raised his hand, patted his head, and said with a smile, "Xiaogu, you can come along too. You don't have to accompany your uncle on his errands all the time."
Whenever the Prince of Ye returns to Wuyuan Street, he will take Qin Xiaogu with him and teach her.
Jiang Erlang is not here. Fearing that Jiang Dalang might die in battle, his only son is kept in Wuyuan Garden and not allowed to venture out.
Jiang Erlang was now sighing and lamenting to Liang Zhi, but there was nothing he could do.
"Let's go!" Master Qiong shouted, leading a group of distinguished students away.
The King of Ye sent three imperial guards to escort him.
Deputy General Lang wanted to send troops along, but Lord Yan stopped him, telling him, "There's no need to interfere."
Qi Tianshi went mad; the responsibility lies entirely with him.
If you, a general of the Wei army, get involved, you may be attacked by the officials and end up in prison, so you'd better not get involved.
"My mission is to maintain stability within the city. At times like these, it is necessary to send troops to be on standby nearby." Deputy General Lang was still worried, fearing that things would escalate too much and that Qi Tianshi's small force would not be able to control the situation. So he dispatched two thousand soldiers to patrol and defend the main streets of the western city.
Qi Shi acted swiftly, leading a hundred Northwest Army soldiers who had been lurking in the Northeast Prefecture, a hundred Yan State Dukes, and his assassins planted in the city, and quickly surrounded Luoxing Street.
Bang! Boom!
The assassins broke down the gate of a resettlement house, and all the residents of the house rushed out in fright.
Upon seeing the assassins dressed as warriors instead of wearing protective gear, they were so frightened that they ran back inside and slammed the door shut.
"The third resettlement house, the house of Second Master Weng, is to be taken away; the rest of the family members shall remain here and shall not leave without permission."
Why is it the Weng family again?
Haven't the Weng family suffered enough losses?
At a command, bang! The door of the third resettlement house was destroyed. The entire family of Uncle Weng, who lived inside, huddled or squatted inside like frightened birds.
Uncle Weng trembled, his mouth opening and closing several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.
When he was taken down and his arm was dislocated, he cried out in pain, shouting, "Injustice! Injustice! I did nothing... I want to see the Prince of Ye! You can't arrest Wei Min without evidence!"
Ah, Qi Tianshi's highly recognizable voice came: "You fled to the resettlement house on the next street, obtained a forged letter through the Chen family's incense shop, and then had your father-in-law's servants make leather bags to spread the news of the enemy's forged letter in the city. The evidence is conclusive, and your sophistry is useless! Don't think that anyone can come to save you. Your master's master is within our surveillance range, and they will not escape this calamity either."
What?
Master Weng was so shocked that his face turned pale. He looked at the handsome, beardless, yet sharp-looking Qi Tianshi and asked with a glimmer of hope, "You, you are Qi Tianshi?"
Although Qi Tianshi rode through the streets in a palanquin, lowly henchmen like Master Weng could only catch a glimpse of Qi Tianshi from afar. They knew that Qi Tianshi was in human form, but had no idea what he looked like.
This is the first time I've met you, so I'm asking.
No, please don't let it be Qi the Angel, otherwise he and his masters will all be doomed!
