The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 517 The Official's Support

Yang Yizhong fought bravely!
The armor was quickly stained with blood.

The entire hall was filled with shouts of killing and screams of agony. Although the Imperial Guards were prepared, they underestimated the power that Qin Hui could mobilize.

Yang Yizhong originally thought that Qin Hui could only win over a small number of rebels, but little did he know that with one move, Qin Hui had won over almost the entire court. Among the military officials were Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, two of the four generals who helped restore the Southern Song Dynasty, while among the civil officials, almost all of Zhao Gou's favorite ministers were included.

There was nothing he could do; Zhao Gou was simply in love with treacherous officials.

Although Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were dead, their soldiers were still fighting desperately, because everyone knew that a rebellion had to be carried through to the end, and stopping halfway would mean certain death.

The same applies to civil officials like Qin Hui.

A large number of soldiers, retainers, and江湖豪侠 (jianghu heroes) were all charging towards Zhao Gou. All kinds of arrows, darts, and hidden weapons flew at Zhao Gou as if they were free.

Yang Yizhong's soldiers surrounded Zhao Gou, raising their shields to form a protective shell around him. Zhao Gou dared not peek out, keeping his head down and hiding. He could only hear the constant "thud thud thud" sound, as countless arrows and hidden weapons struck the shields.

He was so frightened that his soul seemed to fly in the sky.

Yang Yizhong, armed with only a gun, fought his way back and forth in the main hall, having already charged in and out seven times, but there were too many rebels to kill them all, simply too many.

One by one, the Imperial Guard soldiers fell, and the situation began to deteriorate.

"We must kill Qin Hui! Only by killing the instigator can we quell this rebellion!" Yang Yizhong roared and charged towards Qin Hui.

In an instant, more than a dozen spears came stabbing at Yang Yizhong.

*Crack!* Something exploded. Yang Yizhong's pupils lost their luster; it was Exploding Seed!
Yang Family Spear Seventeen Battle Spears: Ambush from Ten Sides!

With a single sweep of his spear, he sent over a dozen spears flying into the air.

With another move, "Dragon Emerging from Water," Yang Yizhong, spear and all, leaped out of the water like a dragon, breaking through the midst of a large group of attackers, his spear aimed straight at Qin Hui's vital chest and abdomen.

Qin Hui, who knew no martial arts, had no chance to dodge this attack and could only hide behind Luo Ruji beside him.

With a single spear thrust, Yang Yizhong sent Luo Ruji to his death. The spear tip pierced through Luo Ruji's body, its momentum undiminished, and with a soft thud, it struck Qin Hui behind him. However, the full force of this spear thrust was ultimately not unleashed; the spear tip only penetrated a fraction of an inch into Qin Hui's chest, stopping before damaging his internal organs.

Blood gushed from Qin Hui's chest, but he was not seriously injured. He was just terrified and roared, "Kill him! Kill him now!"

Several heroes from the martial arts world rushed forward and desperately blocked Yang Yizhong.

But the Yang family's spear technique is not something that a few martial arts practitioners can withstand.
Yang Yizhong kills anyone who gets in his way, even the Buddha; today, he will surely kill Qin Hui.

Their meddling threw Qin Hui's faction into disarray. Qin Hui ran around aimlessly, causing chaos in his own ranks. The palace was in complete disarray, and the offensive against Zhao Gou began to slow down.

Zhao Gou sensed that the offensive against him had eased, and, emboldened, cautiously peeked out from behind the shield wall...

Not far ahead, Yang Yizhong was chasing Qin Hui so hard he was running for his life.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed: "Minister Yang, I'm counting on you!"

Yang Yizhong received a super buff called "The Emperor's Support," which instantly increased his combat power by 32%. He unleashed his divine might, his spear thrusts like dragons, and with a few swift strokes, he knocked several more of Qin Hui's men to the ground.

Qin Hui had just rolled on the ground and barely managed to stay afloat thanks to the desperate protection of his men when Yang Yizhong's spear struck him again, hitting him squarely in the shoulder with a soft thud.

Qin Hui screamed and jumped back, forcibly pulling his body off the spear tip. He rolled on the ground, trying to escape.

But how could a civil official like him escape the Yang family's spear technique? Yang Yizhong's spears were always followed by others, and a flurry of spear shadows spread out as he chased after Qin Hui, who was rolling on the ground, and stabbed him wildly...

"what!"

"what!"

With each stab, Qin Hui would let out a scream.

This gave Yang Yizhong a great sense of accomplishment; he didn't know why, but it felt so good!
Of course, you have to stab him a few more times; you can't kill him with just one shot. "Pfft pfft pfft pfft," Yang Yizhong's spear tip kept stabbing bloody holes in Qin Hui's body, each stab causing blood to spurt out, but he just couldn't kill him.

Qin Hui screamed in agony: "Ah... Help... Someone... Protect me..."

He shouted for a long time, but few people came to help. In the midst of his busy work, he glanced around and found that the rebels, led by Wang Xiang, Gou Longruyuan, Li Wenhui, Duan Fu and others, were still attacking Zhao Gou, and no one was paying attention to him.

"Good! Good...you guys..." Qin Hui understood. If he was killed and their coup succeeded, they could take his place. These people were all scum, all traitors, not a single one of them was a good person.

"Ah...ahhh! I'll haunt you even as a ghost...ah..."

Amidst the chaos, Yue Wenxuan possessed Ake's body and quietly hid in the flower bushes outside the hall.

No one knew that a top assassin, ranked among the top in five thousand years of history, was hiding in the flower bushes.

Seeing Qin Hui being stabbed around by Yang Yizhong, Yue Wenxuan felt quite pleased. This ending suited him perfectly, didn't it? Don't rush to kill him, Brother Yang, stab him a few more times.

Yue Wenxuan's gaze then turned to Zhao Gou...

Zhao Gou huddled in the middle of the shield wall, trembling all over...

They look so pitiful!

But he deserved it.

Yue Wenxuan showed him no sympathy whatsoever, and... even wanted to kill him.

Although Ake's physical appearance is inspired by the game Honor of Kings, she doesn't possess the cheat-like skills found in the game. Her abilities are still based on physics. However, through years of artistic embellishment and various "storytelling," this version of Ake's assassination skills far surpass those of the real Jing Ke in history.

Just like the Guan Yu figurines, their fighting power is stronger than the real Guan Yu in history.

Yue Wenxuan reached into his robes and pulled out a black dart.

No pure poison!

True masters of concealed weapons never use poison.

He spotted Zhao Gou from afar...

Zhao Gou peeked out from behind the shield wall, giving Yang Yizhong the buff "The Emperor's Support".

In that instant, Yue Wenxuan swung his hand forward!
The small black dart flew silently through the garden, then through several groups of imperial guards and rebels engaged in battle, and through the gaps between the shields raised by the imperial guards surrounding Zhao Gou, thud, striking Zhao Gou squarely in the throat...

Zhao Gou's support fell silent instantly...

He fell backward, looking up!
The imperial guards beside him cried out in unison, "Your Majesty!"

The rebels cheered, "We've won! The tyrant is dead!"

Yang Yizhong turned around and was furious: "Your Majesty!"

He turned his head again, his eyes filled with rage: "Qin Hui, you die!"

"Pfft!" A gun was thrust into Qin Hui's mouth, the tip protruding from the back of his head.

Yang Yizhong: "The treacherous party should not be smug; you will not live either."

He charged like a mad tiger towards the last few rebel leaders. Wang Xiang was shot through the heart, Gou Longruyuan was shot in the throat, and Li Wenhui was stabbed in the abdomen with a flurry of bullets... Die! Die, all of you!

When the world fell silent, Yang Yizhong was covered in blood, and the corpses of treacherous officials and rebels lay scattered on the ground. He knelt down with a thud before Zhao Gou's body and burst into tears...

Yue Wenxuan sighed softly, disappeared into the flower bushes, and strode away.
