At the same time, shouts of killing and flashes of fire could be heard outside the Wang residence.
"Rebellion."
The words suddenly emerged in Wang Yi's mind.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
With a rumbling sound, the main gate of the Wang residence was smashed to pieces, wooden splinters flying everywhere.
Just as Wang Yi was about to go out to investigate, Zhao Bin rushed in, shouting as he walked, "Brother Wang, Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng have rebelled. Father is currently holding off the Rebels outside the city with the generals."
"Let's go, take me to see," Wang Yi said.
"No, Dian City is already surrounded by the Rebels; there is no way out. The only option is to wait for reinforcements," Zhao Bin panted.
"When will the nearest reinforcements arrive?" Wang Yi asked.
"The earliest will be by morning," Zhao Bin replied.
"Do Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng know the direction from which reinforcements are coming?" Wang Yi inquired.
"They do," Zhao Bin answered.
"If they send someone to intercept along the way, the reinforcements may not arrive on time," Wang Yi said.
"This is bad; I need to hurry and inform Father," Zhao Bin suddenly realized.
"We'll go together," Wang Yi said.
Before long, Wang Yi and the others arrived at the city gate tower.
Wang Yi gazed out and saw torches flickering outside the city, with the sounds of battle echoing. Arrows occasionally whizzed past, but Wang Yi, being a Yuanjing Warrior with Primordial Energy, caused the arrows to fall harmlessly to the ground.
“Father, Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng are both familiar with military affairs. I believe they are very likely to intercept our reinforcements midway, so they may not arrive on time,” Zhao Bin said anxiously.
“Hmm, you have a point. General Wang, immediately dispatch ten fast horses to each city for reinforcements,” Zhao Hong instructed a general beside him, then turned to another general and asked, “Have the Yang Family, Sun Family, and Liu Family arrived yet?”
“Lord Wang, they have not arrived,” one general replied.
“Hmph, the situation is urgent. You must go notify the Yang Family, Sun Family, and Liu Family to come quickly and defend Dian City,” Zhao Hong ordered.
“Lord Wang, we three have arrived late. Please forgive us,” Yang Kuang and the others said with smiles.
“How many men have you brought?” Zhao Hong asked hurriedly.
“We three families have gathered three thousand troops, all warriors above Transcendence Realm Sevenfold. Moreover, our three families' elite Black Armor Guards have also been dispatched,” Yang Kuang replied.
“Good. After we quell this rebellion, I will report to the Emperor and reward you three accordingly,” Zhao Hong said.
“Thank you, Lord Wang,” Yang Kuang and the others responded.
“Lord Wang, Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng are truly audacious. Once captured, they must be subjected to five horses tearing them apart,” Yang Kuang declared.
Meanwhile, the rebels inside the city had been completely cleared out, but the number of rebels outside was only increasing. It should be noted that Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng were the commanders of Mengling Pass and could command an army of fifty thousand. Given that this was a premeditated rebellion, the number of rebels had already reached over one hundred thousand.
Looking outside the city, it was filled with rebels armed with weapons.
"Report..."
The meteor scout came to report: "I report to you, my lord, the Rebels have surrounded the Four-Sided City Gate completely, and we cannot break through due to their interception. All our Brothers have perished."
"What?"
The generals turned pale, revealing their unease.
"Hmph, although the Rebels are strong, I firmly believe that reinforcements will arrive by tomorrow morning. At that time, it will be our moment to counterattack," Zhao Hong declared loudly.
"My lord, the Rebels are numerous and difficult to eliminate at once. In my opinion, we should implement a decapitation plan—capture the leader first. As long as Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng are dead, the Rebels will surely collapse without a fight," General Wang stepped forward and said.
"General Wang makes a valid point; I second his proposal."
"I second it."
"I second it."
"Although the decapitation plan is good, who shall go?" Zhao Hong asked with a frown.
The generals looked at each other, none daring to step forward.
"I am willing to go," a general with the surname Wang stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"I am willing to go," another general stepped forward.
"Very well, I announce that General Wang and Zhou General will be responsible for this decapitation plan," Zhao Hong said.
After a cup of tea, the meteor scout came to report to the prince that General Wang and Zhou General had fallen in battle.
Ah!
The generals were shocked and speechless.
"General Wang is skilled in battle, having reached the third level of the Yuan Realm. If even he and Zhou General have fallen, could there be strong warriors among the Rebels?" Zhao Ling frowned and said.
"Prince, my Yang Family Shadow Guards are best at assassination techniques and are willing to serve you," Yang Kuang stepped forward confidently.
"Good, it comforts me that the Yang Family Head has this intention. You may send your Shadow Guards to assassinate Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng," Zhao Hong said.
An incense stick later.
A Yang Family Shadow Guard rushed in and said, "Reporting to the family head, the Shadow Guards have been completely wiped out; only one subordinate managed to escape."
"What?"
Everyone broke into a cold sweat, trembling with fear. They glanced at Zhao Hong, not daring to utter a word.
"Since they have already been eliminated, why did you return?" Yang Kuang looked at the Shadow Guard coldly. After finishing his words, he struck the latter's spiritual cover with his palm. Before the guard could even let out a whimper, he was already dead.
"What should we do now?"
"Yes, the Rebels are powerful and have strong leaders. We are probably no match for them; Dian City will eventually fall, and when that happens, blood will flow like rivers in Dian City."
"Sigh, could it be that Dian City really cannot be defended this time? If we lose Dian City and Mengling Pass, how will our Song Kingdom resist the Jurchens in the future?"
"Those who disturb the military's morale... shall die!" Zhao Hong waved his large sleeves, and a burst of flames swept out, instantly turning the two generals into a wisp of green smoke, leaving no trace behind.
The other generals were immediately frightened into silence, not daring to breathe a word.
"Yang Kuang, you three are all Transcendent Realm Experts. Are you willing to take the risk and kill Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng, the two traitorous generals, for this king?" Zhao Hong said.
Yang Kuang, Liu Yi, and Sun Ze were momentarily stunned, exchanging glances. Sun Ze stepped forward and said, "My lord, the enemy has many troops. Even if the three of us are Breakthrough Experts, we may not be able to breach Li Yuan's Central Army Tent."
"My lord, Brother Sun is right. Moreover, we have no idea where Li Yuan and the others are located. How can we talk about beheading them?" Liu Yi added.
"My lord, I suggest we wait until we find out where Li Yuan and the others are before making any plans. What do you think?" Yang Kuang proposed.
"Hmph, after finding out?" Zhao Hong's expression turned cold as he said, "The Rebels are surrounding us on all sides; they clearly won't leave us any way out. If you keep waiting, by the time Dian City falls, even your Three Great Families will find it hard to survive."
"We have reached a point where we either rise or fall together. You still harbor personal grudges and cannot distinguish between public and private matters?" Zhao Hong said angrily.
Yang Kuang and the others immediately fell silent.
"Father, I am willing to go," Zhao Bin stepped forward and cupped his hands in respect.
"You... cannot. Your strength is too low; you won't even be able to find where Li Yuan's Central Army Tent is," Zhao Hong shook his head.
"But..." Zhao Bin began.
"Enough with the 'buts.' With your strength, you cannot complete this mission; going would be no different from seeking death," Zhao Hong waved his hand.
"My lord, I recommend someone who can definitely complete this assassination mission." Yang Kuang glanced at Wang Yi, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he said, "This person is intelligent and possesses extraordinary strength; he can certainly handle this important task."
"Oh, who is it?" Zhao Hong asked anxiously.
"Brother Wang Meng has taken on this important task," Yang Kuang said.
"Your Highness, Brother Yang is correct. Wang Meng is a Transcendent Realm Expert and knows Li Yuan; he will surely be able to complete this mission," Liu Yi said.
"Your Highness, Brother Yang and Brother Liu are right. Brother Wang Meng is a rare choice, and I believe he will be more than willing to serve the country loyally," Sun Ze said.
"I second that."
"I second that."
Upon hearing this, the generals immediately stepped forward.
"Father, no! Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng are both seasoned generals; they must be well-versed in military tactics. Moreover, since General Wang and General Zhou's assassination attempt failed, Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng will surely be on high alert. Attempting another assassination now would only lead to death," Zhao Bin urged.
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. It is precisely because Zhou General's assassination attempt failed that we must send someone to carry out the assassination now. Otherwise, by tomorrow night, Dian City will surely fall," Yang Kuang argued.
"Brother Yang is correct; Your Highness, tonight is the last opportunity we have; we cannot miss it," Liu Yi added.
At that moment, a scout horseman reported that Ximen had already been attacked by the Rebels. Fortunately, the soldiers held their ground and managed to repel the Rebels, but now there were very few Sergeants left and they requested reinforcements.
"Your Highness, we can no longer hesitate; we must make a decision quickly, or it will be too late," one general urged urgently.
"Your Highness!
Your Highness, I am willing to go and eliminate the Rebel leaders Li Yuan and Zhao Sheng for the Song Kingdom," Wang Yi stepped forward and clasped his fists in respect.
"This... fine!" Zhao Hong hesitated slightly, but at this moment, he had no other choice. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Wang Meng, if you complete the beheading mission, I will personally report to my royal brother and promote you."
"No need for promotion. All I need is for the prince to agree to my next request," Wang Yi replied with a calm smile.
"Alright, I agree," Wang Yi said.
"Take care, royal brother," Zhao Bin said.
"Wang Meng, you should think carefully. But if you are truly afraid, then don't go," Yang Cheng mocked.
"Yes! Wang Meng, Yang Cheng is right. Why must you go to your death?" Sun Qian added.
Yang Kuang sneered twice and used Soul Transmission to say, "Child, just go with peace of mind! I will prepare a coffin for you."
"Hmph, child, this is the consequence of opposing me," Sun Ze transmitted.
"Child, today is your day of death. Don't worry; I will pay my respects to you," Liu Yi transmitted.
"What? Do you all really want me dead?" Wang Yi coldly glanced at Yang Kuang and the others.
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Kuang asked.
"It means nothing. Just what if I kill Li Yuan and the other two?" Wang Yi replied nonchalantly.
