The Demon Lords

Chapter 1083: Chapter 260: Smart Trick

In the days before Jade Plate City was ravaged by war, there was a famous local delicacy called Pan-fried Little Fish.

It was made from a special type of small fish from Wang River, which needed to be fried to remove the muddy taste, but not for too long, or the freshness would be lost.

Therefore, when local vendors made this dish, they would often use long chopsticks with quick eyes and nimble hands to fry the fish rapidly.

What Lord Zheng is doing now is exactly the same thing.

After all, what he faces now is a group of powerful nobles from Chu.

Meat-eaters may be disdainful, but they are never foolish.

All his arrangements must be thrown out and quickly take effect, otherwise, they are destined to recover, and then his performance will turn into being "caught in a trap."

No negotiation, no delay,

What is pursued,

is to seize the initiative in a short time.

Naturally,

when the blade pierced A Ming’s chest, Lord Zheng couldn’t help but feel a bit wistful; if the one standing before him and held hostage was the real Regent, that would have been ideal.

Then whether he walked the street or served in the military or the royal court in the future, he might seldom be called "Lord Pingye" and more often referred to as——a regicide.

To be honest,

This title might be ominous, but in terms of style, it is truly impeccable.

At this moment,

Lord Zheng, A Ming, and Siniang’s eyes met, exchanging silent messages.

Perhaps it was because their tacit understanding was high, and when the blind man was around, there were frequent mental connections, so they could really interpret each other’s eye contact meaning.

A Ming: My lord, why did you stab directly into the chest?

Zheng Fan: Should I squat down and make a special effort to stab your leg?

A Ming: This location will take more blood to heal.

Zheng Fan: Stabbing your leg might make it inconvenient for you to escape later.

Siniang: Why hasn’t San’er arrived yet?

Just then,

A loud shout echoed,

And swiftly,

A person came flying over the crowd.

Yes,

Exactly like the entrance often seen in martial arts films, stepping directly on people’s shoulders.

"Buzz!"

Finally,

The person landed.

He was dressed in black long robes, with a dense aura of evil between his eyebrows.

This was a master,

Because after his appearance, the officers from other noble families either bowed or slightly stepped back.

Indeed, in this situation, such individuals with strong personal abilities are really troublesome.

Because it was not a war between two armies, but a small-scale localized conflict, additionally, Zheng Fan’s people were actually at a numerical disadvantage.

That’s why Zheng Fan was relieved to learn the Regent was exhausted and wouldn’t attend the wedding, even though the sword maker was excluded; the Regent certainly had several real masters by his side, who might not stand out in the face of thousands of troops, but in this kind of scene could change the situation.

"Haha, Qu Mingxuan of the Qu Clan, meet Lord Pingye of Great Yan."

This person cupped his hands,

Meanwhile,

He takes a few steps forward again.

Lord Zheng immediately squints his eyes, instantly realizing this old dog wants to get closer to probe the Regent’s reality.

Thus,

Lord Zheng directly withdrew the knife from the Regent’s chest,

And without hesitation, stabbed it into the Regent’s shoulder.

"Splat!"

"......" A Ming.

Qu Mingxuan’s foot stopped.

He was not an officer of the Qu Clan, he was a member of the Qu Clan, originally a collateral, but due to showing high martial talents since young was treated as a direct descendant for cultivation, now he was a fourth-rank Martial Cultivator, considered a respected figure in the Qu Clan, even Qu Peiluo’s father, Qu TianNan, had taken advice from him in martial arts practice and he usually taught younger Qu Clan members martial arts.

Precisely because he was part of the Qu Clan, he hesitated at this moment.

He was confident that without getting entangled with them, and paying a little price, he could break through the Yan people’s obstruction in front and reach the terraced stage,

Even confident enough to capture that Lord Pingye,

Even in the extreme unforeseen scenario,

He could proudly guarantee at least an exchange of life with Lord Pingye.

Here, not counting help from others, purely he came alone, this is the pride of a peak martial artist.

It’s understandable,

Back then, Shatuo Que Shi could continuously charge through thousands of Northern Army cavalry and eventually died from exhaustion; real peak martial artists, their physique indeed stuns people.

But still, the saying goes,

Crazy ones fear fearless ones!

Lord Zheng’s decisiveness made this powerful warrior somewhat anxious.

Zheng Fan looked at him,

And called out:

"I started from the bottom, born as commoner from the grasslands, thanks to our Great Yan Emperor’s appreciation, elevated to high position, granted the title of Count; today, I come only for my beloved woman;

But if truly pushed to the limit, worst-case scenario, I commit regicide here and die with my beloved.

Below, fulfilling the deep affection of the princess for me; above, not betraying my emperor’s benevolence granted to me!

You,

Can definitely continue forward,

Regicide is me,

While the one pushing the king to death,

Is your Qu Clan!"

"Come, don’t hesitate, kill him, kill them, kill them! I will not blame you, I will not blame you!"

A Ming roared.

Subsequently,

A Ming seemed deeply into character,

Even added a line by himself:

"Chu doesn’t have captured emperors, after my death, pass my edict, ask my fifth brother Xiong Tingshan to enter Ing Capital City to preside over the court affairs!"
