C395 Things Go Against My Wishes

Time flew by, and soon more than a month had passed. Cui Ming and the others had already walked into a wasteland. After a day of rushing, the army began to set up camp.

"My lord, this place is less than three hundred miles away from Luoan. I believe that if the army speeds up a little, they will arrive at the Imperial City in less than five days!"

"I already know. Alright, let's go. "

Cui Ming quietly listened to the reports of his subordinates. He immediately waved his hand and indicated for him to withdraw. He immediately stood up and walked out of the tent. He looked at the place where the Lo Gucheng was held and secretly prayed. "There are only the last five days. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. Don't cause any trouble at this critical moment. "

After that, he went back to the tent and turned off the lights to rest. After all, he had been on the road for such a long time, so he was more or less tired. Before long, he had fallen asleep, and snores could be heard from inside the tent.

However, just as he was feeling sleepy, two figures quietly barged in. The two of them looked at each other and quietly sneaked towards Cui Ming. Then, the dagger in their hands appeared.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, Cui Ming angrily shouted from the bed and opened his eyes. He flew into a rage and said, "How dare you sneak attack your Grandpa Cui?! Hand over your life!"

After saying that, he threw a palm at the two of them without even looking at them. The two of them couldn't dodge in time and immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood before flying out of the tent. From one point of view, Cui Ming had obviously shown mercy. Otherwise, with his strength, just this attack alone was enough to take their lives.

Cui Ming chased after them all the way, and suddenly felt that something was amiss. Putting aside how these two assassins managed to sneak in, after such a huge commotion, not a single one of them had rushed over. He discovered that the surroundings seemed to be too quiet.

"Yang Gui? Zhou Cang?"

Cui Ming immediately called out to his two subordinates, but they didn't hear any response. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Not good!"

As he spoke, he rushed to the tent where the Lo Gucheng was kept at the fastest speed. He opened it and took a look. Cui Ming's scalp immediately went numb when he saw that there was no one else. He had never thought that he would be able to throw away the suspect under the watchful eyes of so many people on his side. He could not help but roar angrily, "Wang Quan? Sun Long? Hao Yi? Are all of you dead! All of you, get the hell over here!"

However, no one responded to him. At this moment, the thirty thousand Lonely Soul Legion, including the five thousand guards and the Lo Gucheng, seemed to have vanished into thin air. Cui Ming couldn't help but feel a deep sense of fear.

"What is going on? Who sent you to assassinate me? Hurry up and say it, or else I'll make the two of you die a horrible death!"

Cui Ming had no choice but to return to his original position. He tightly grabbed the neck of one of the assassins and lifted him up high. He threatened. "

" Tsk tsk, Lord Cui's temper is really fiery. He wants to take someone's life at any time. Isn't he afraid of being punished by the heavens for being so bloodthirsty?"

At this moment, an extremely familiar voice sounded behind Cui Ming. A tall and sturdy man arrived with a wave of neat footsteps. Cui Ming immediately recognized this man as the commander of the Lonely Soul Legion's First Army, Zhou Hong, and the people around him were also from the First Army.

A bad feeling flashed across Cui Ming's face when he saw this scene. He pretended to be calm and said with a smile, "What do you mean by this, Chief Zhou? Do you know these two men?"

"Yes, of course I do. " Zhou Hong nodded without any hesitation. Then, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Song Yuan, Song Qing, how dare you two attack Lord Cui? Do you want to die?"

Upon seeing this, Cui Ming was stunned. He couldn't figure it out and said, "Strange. Could it be that my guess was wrong? But if they didn't collude with each other, how should I explain this?"

While he was feeling puzzled, Zhou Hong had already walked in front of him and cupped his fist apologetically towards him. "These two are two deputy generals of my army. They are usually considered loyal, but I never would have thought that they would do such a thing. It is true that Zhou Hong did not lead the troops well. I sincerely request that Sir hand these two traitors over to Zhou Hong to be personally handled by him!"

As he spoke, he was about to take Song Qing from Cui Ming. Cui Ming saw that his words were reasonable and could not help but feel relieved in his heart. Just as he was about to release Song Qing, at this moment. . . A dagger suddenly appeared in Zhou Hong's hand and stabbed towards Cui Ming at lightning speed. Within such a short distance, Cui Ming had no room to dodge. He immediately felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. When he came back to his senses, the dagger had already pierced deeply into his body. Seeing this, Cui Ming furiously struck out with his palm, sending Zhou Hong flying. He also staggered backwards.

"Zhou Hong, you, you!" Cui Ming was so angry that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't help but kneel down. He looked at Zhou Hong with disbelief and said, "Are you going to defy the decree?"

"Resist the decree?" Zhou Hong smiled coldly and said. "I am loyal to you. Our general will always be the only one I pledge my loyalty to. What I am doing now is the will of our general. How can this be called defying the decree? "

"Lo Gucheng!" Cui Ming felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He was unable to control himself for a long time. Immediately, he pointed at Zhou Hong and the rest. He was furious as he said, "Alright, you actually dare to rebel?"

"Wrong, it was the government forcing the people to rebel!" Zhou Hong let out a cold laugh and said, "We were loyal to Great Chu in vain. For the past twenty years, we risked our lives. We have worked hard to kill the enemy and made countless military achievements. But in the end, what did we get in exchange for the princess's words? All of us became traitors and spies! I just want to ask, Is this fair?"

Cui Ming angrily said," If all of you are innocent, the Emperor will naturally not make things difficult for all of you. But looking at your actions now, it is clear that you have ulterior motives. How can you blame others like this! "

"The Emperor?" Zhou Hong laughed when he heard that and said, "Chu Feng's anger is at its end. I think that our general is the best candidate. "

"How dare you!" Cui Ming was furious. He said, "You can say such outrageous words. Zhou Hong, even if I don't want to live today, I will never let you go!"

After saying that, Cui Ming wanted to rush forward and fight Zhou Hong to the death, but suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his Dantian. It was as if there was a raging fire burning in his Dantian that could burn everything. He couldn't help but kneel down on the ground once again with a painful expression on his face.

"Lord Cui, you are a peak Late Period of Attack Stopping Stage expert. Do you think that I will be so stupid as to fight you head on?" At this point, the corner of Zhou Hong's mouth flashed with a hint of playfulness. "Lord Cui, do you still have the appetite to eat these few days?"

When he heard this, Cui Ming's eyes instantly widened, and he hated to the point of being unable to do anything. "Despicable. You. . . You actually poisoned the food!!"

"Burning Heart Life Urging Powder. " When he said this, Zhou Hong gave a sinister smile and said. "Lord Cui, a wise man knows when to obey the circumstances. As long as you obediently listen to me, I can let you live for a period of time. If you rashly circulate your energy, I guarantee that you will die of poison within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. "
