I have been farming since I crossed over.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Mingshuo, heavy rain poured down.

Lu Jintang lay behind a huge rock at Eagle's Beak Cliff, with a fishy and sweet taste surging in his throat.

The arrow wound on his left shoulder had not yet healed, and now it was hurt by the mountain wind.

Three days ago, he and His Royal Highness the King of Virtue set up a trap, pretending that he was seriously injured and dying, so as to lure Wang Zuxian (son of Wang Taifu and commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army) to send his confidants to chase him to Eagle's Beak Cliff.

With the help of Yang Mingxi, he successfully defeated Wang Zuxian's confidants.

Joey Wong was burned on her buttocks at a secret meeting point and almost died.

He was so angry that he returned to the Northwest Military Camp and sent a large army directly to Eagle's Beak Cliff, determined to strangle Lu Jintang.

……

Yang Mingxi poured the last packet of hemostatic powder into his palm, and her fingertips touched the Lu family emblem on his wrist. "Do you still have the strength to blow the horn?"

Lu Jintang twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing his bloodstained canine teeth: "His Royal Highness the Virtuous King's men... should be here soon."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of iron hooves came from the cliff below.

Wang Zuxian's warhorse trotted through the mud, and she pointed her long sword at the clifftop: "Lu Jintang! Do you think you can turn the tables by hiding in this godforsaken place?

I have blocked all your escape routes. Today is the day you die!"

Joey Wong 'stood' on the war horse and shouted in pain.

Yang Mingxi looked out and saw that the enemy troops were spread out in a fan shape, with archers in front and swordsmen in the back. There were also ten carts loaded with kerosene parked on the mountainside.

She touched the leather bag around her waist - inside was the improved version of the "Sky-shaking Bomb" blueprint sent by the Wise King.

She made it with the strong gunpowder from space, and the palm-sized iron ball could blow down half a wall.

"According to the plan." Lu Jintang held her hand tightly, suddenly stood up and threw away the blood dropper.

The sharp chains cut through the rain, and the nearest archer's throat burst.

Joey Wong shouted angrily, "Shoot! Nail them to the rocks!"

When the first round of arrow rain came, Yang Mingxi pulled Lu Jintang and rolled into the cave on the left.

The terrain inside the cave takes a steep turn, leading directly to a hidden river at the bottom of the cliff - this is the "wind passage" calculated by the wise king's advisers using a map.

Yang Mingxi took out a fire starter and lit the oil rope on the rock wall. The flames quickly spread along the pre-set fuse, illuminating the densely packed beehives on the cave wall.

"Hold your breath!" Lu Jintang pulled off his clothes to cover her mouth and nose.

The next moment, thousands of poisonous bees swarmed out of the nest and rushed towards Wang Zuxian's army following the wind direction.

Wang Zuxian's horse was frightened and its front hooves flew into the air. Because of the problem of "sitting posture", he was thrown to the ground.

The helmet rolled three feet away, revealing a scar on the forehead that was exactly the same as the one on Master Wang's.

It was this father and son who worked together to forge evidence that the Lu family embezzled military pay.

"General, the wise king's ambush has arrived!" Ah Hu's shout came from the top of the cliff.

Twenty crossbow carts suddenly emerged from the clouds, their arrows wrapped in oil-soaked linen.

A faint blue flame suddenly ignited in the rainstorm - it was a rocket specially made by Yang Mingxi using the space "phosphorus powder grass".

Joey Wong looked up at the sky, her pupils reflecting the approaching rain of fire.

He suddenly remembered the secret report he received this morning: "The commander of Dongzhimen died suddenly last night, and the defense of the city gate was handed over to the illegitimate son of the Lu family."

He just regarded it as another round of oppression by the civil service group.

Only at this moment did he realize that from the moment he chased Lu Jintang and stepped into the Eagle's Beak Cliff, he had already walked into the "meat grinder" set up by the Wise King and the Lu family.

"Blow up the baggage train!"

Lu Jintang threw the last blood dropper, which entangled Wang Zuxian's cloak and dragged him towards the dark river.

Yang Mingxi jumped onto a protruding rock, untied the rope of the cowhide bag, and five thunder bombs flew in a parabolic trajectory towards the kerosene truck at the foot of the mountain.

The first explosion shook the mountain and caused rocks to fall.

The kerosene splashed during the explosion, instantly igniting the entire field of weeds and thorns, and the thick smoke mixed with poisonous bees formed a deadly "poison fire storm".

Wang Zuxian's personal soldiers were burned and ran around with their heads in their hands. The iron shields of the Modao soldiers were twisted and deformed in the high temperature.

Someone jumped into the underground river to survive, but was dragged into the water with a sickle by the Lu family's personal guards who had ambushed him in advance.

"You have already connected with the virtuous king!"

Joey Wong was strangled by the blood-dripping dart and was staring at the huge banner with the word "Xian" on it that suddenly unfolded on the top of the cliff.

I finally understand why the impeachment of the Lu family in the palace suddenly disappeared recently...

It turns out that the "Idle Prince", the most beloved by the current Majesty, is the real director of this revenge drama.

Lu Jintang held the broken blade firmly against Wang Zuxian's throat. Rainwater mixed with blood dripped slowly along the tip of the blade.

"Wang Zuxian, do you think that just because Taifu Wang controls the censors and the imperial guards, he can cover up everything with one hand?"

Lu Jintang's voice was cold and low, as if it came from the underworld.

Wang Zuxian's face turned pale, and her throat was pressed against the broken blade, making her unable to speak at all.

Lu Jintang's gaze did not stay on him, but glanced at Yang Mingxi who was directing the explosion not far away.

The silver hairpin in her hair was shining brightly in the light of the fire.

The silver hairpin was the "order to mobilize troops" given by the wise king a few days ago, and it was playing a vital role at this moment.

"The most terrifying weapon in the world has never been a sword or a gun, but the human heart." Lu Jintang sighed.

At this moment, the second wave of thunder bombs exploded in the pile of baggage carts. The huge explosion was deafening and flames shot into the sky.

Joey Wong watched helplessly as her three thousand close confidants were engulfed by the raging sea of ​​fire and burst into crazy laughter.

"Even if I die, my father has already laid a tight net in the palace! Do you think you can enter the capital just by taking Dongzhimen? How naive..."

However, his laughter suddenly stopped.

Because Lu Jintang's broken blade had mercilessly pierced his throat.

A stream of warm blood splashed onto the wild orchid in the crevice of the rock, dyeing the white petals red.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi hurried over and picked up the secret report that Wang Zuxian dropped.

By the light of the fire, she could clearly see the last line of the secret report: At three quarters past midnight, a fire broke out in the six western palaces and the blame was put on the virtuous concubine.

"not good!"

She grabbed Lu Jintang's arm and said, "This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Imperial Tutor Wang is going to take action in the palace!"

Lu Jintang opened his eyes wide and looked at Wang Zuxian who was lying in front of him with her eyes open. His eyes slowly turned blood red.

"Sister, what should I do?" As he spoke, Lu Jintang's body trembled and he slowly knelt down.

His Royal Highness the Wise King, who was in charge of cleaning up the scene, looked at Lu Shisan, who was so cheerful and high-spirited just now, from afar, and suddenly knelt down.

Thinking something had happened, he ran over here quickly!

"Thirteen, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Jintang held his chest and muttered, "Elder sister, elder sister, you must take care of yourself!"

The virtuous prince ran up to Lu Jintang and heard him mumbling, "Don't worry! If he can't even protect his beloved, then he is really useless as an emperor!"
