Although King Yu wanted Wang Gang to die and even took the throne with arms, he was by no means a reckless act without a plan.
Raising an army to rebel is never a spur-of-the-moment initiative; it requires detailed preparation and careful planning.
It is a fool's dream like Xie Yu's attempt to seize Jinling with only a few thousand patrol battalions.
No matter how stupid King Yu was, he knew it was impossible. How could he agree to cooperate with Xie Yu to start a rebellion?
"Xie Yu, do you know what you are doing? You privately mobilize soldiers from the patrol battalion to Beijing. Do you want the nine tribes to be exterminated?" King Yu shouted righteously.
Xie Yu snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu, haven't you always wanted the throne? As long as we kill Prince Jing and Meng Zhi here, the imperial army will be leaderless, and we can lead our troops to attack the palace and force the emperor to abdicate."
"Shut up." King Yu pointed angrily at Xie Yu and shouted, "How dare you gather a crowd to rebel and want to frame me."
While Wang Gang watched Prince Yu and Xie Yu fighting each other, he asked Meng Zhi and Princess Nihuang to protect Mei Changsu and look for an opportunity to take him out of Ningguo Hou Mansion.
Gong Yu also ran to Mei Changsu at some point, probably wanting to protect him.
Xie Yu transferred people from the patrol camp to the capital without authorization and even ambushed the Hou Mansion. Apparently, he was already prepared to kill everyone.
Wang Gang whispered to Meng Zhi: "In a moment, I will rush to the front, tear open a hole, and you and Xiao Shu will rush out of the Hou Mansion."
"No." Mei Changsu flatly refused: "If you have the chance, you should leave first. I have already made arrangements. People from the Jiangzuo Alliance and Prince Jing's Mansion will come to meet me."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Your body and bones have not yet healed well, and you cannot withstand the attack of the army. I am confident that you can retreat unscathed."
Mei Changsu insisted: "Brother Meng, Nihuang, you must protect Prince Jing and leave me alone."
Wang Gang said domineeringly: "Okay! Now you are subject to my command here, and you have no right to speak."
Mei Changsu was stunned, Princess Nihuang had already grabbed his arm.
"Don't hesitate. Xie Yu has ambushed a large number of troops in the mansion, as well as bows and crossbows. Brother Meng and I can only block a few dozen people at most. Only Prince Jing can lead us out."
Mei Changsu rolled his eyes and said to Xia Dong and Zhuo Dingfeng not far away: "Master Zhuo, Master Xia, Xie Yu will not let us leave the Hou Mansion alive. Now we can only have hope of survival if we unite together.
.”
Zhuo Dingfeng and his wife looked at each other, then at Xiao Jingrui who was in a dilemma, and silently walked to Wang Gang's side.
Xia Dong didn't hesitate much. She was an old acquaintance with Meng Zhi and Princess Nihuang.
Princess Xiandai still wanted to win over Xiao Jingrui and said loudly: "Brother, do you still want to recognize the thief as your father?"
Xiao Jingrui was struggling very much. What happened today really made him very painful.
"Father, do you still want to make the same mistake again and again?"
Xie Yu madly said: "I'm right, as long as I kill you all, no one will know what I have done."
Princess Liyang said anxiously: "Don't hurt Jingrui!"
Xie Yu snorted coldly: "This evil bastard can no longer stay in the world."
The next moment, Xie Yu struck out with a lightning strike and knocked Princess Liyang unconscious, asking someone to help her down.
"Mother." Xiao Jingrui rushed towards Xie Yu excitedly. In the next moment, several arrows were fired, forcing him to retreat to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang pulled Xiao Jingrui behind him and said to King Yu: "Brother Five Emperors, what is your choice? Rush out with us, or collude with Xie Yu?"
King Yu was in a very difficult position. He chose Xie Yu's side. Although he would survive, he would have to bear the reputation of being a rebellious minister and a traitor in the future.
Choosing Wang Gang's side, Xie Yu gave the order and thousands of arrows were fired. It was not certain whether Wang Gang would save him.
"Prince Yu, what are you still hesitating about? Do you really want to wait until Prince Jing ascends the throne and you will be deprived of your title and sentenced to death?" Xie Yu shouted.
King Yu finally made up his mind and slowly walked towards Xie Yu.
Xie Yu smiled proudly and waved his hand: "Fire the arrow."
Following Xie Yu's order, countless arrows were shot at Wang Gang and the others.
Wang Gang took his time and grabbed a long arrow with his hand. Using the arrow as a weapon, he easily deflected the incoming arrow.
When Meng Zhi and the others came to the birthday party, they didn't bring any weapons. They could only imitate others, grab arrows and use them as weapons, and deflect the arrows they shot.
Among Wang Gang and others, except for Mei Changsu, they are all top-notch masters. It is not difficult to deflect the arrows. As long as you have enough physical strength, you will be fine for a while.
Meng Zhi, Nihuang, and Gong Yu were protecting Mei Changsu, and even if he was hit by an arrow, Mei Changsu would not be harmed at all.
"Charge over." Wang Gang shouted and rushed directly towards Xie Yu, preparing to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Xie Yu immediately recruited a hundred soldiers to protect himself, and asked other soldiers to constantly fire arrows to harass Meng Zhi and the others.
"Ah!" Gong Yu screamed. In order to protect Mei Changsu, she was hit by an arrow in the arm.
Wang Gang turned around helplessly, protected Gong Yu, swept away the arrows, and backed away slowly while protecting everyone.
As more and more arrows were fired, Meng Zhi and Ni Huang could still hold on, but Zhuo Dingfeng became the second injured person.
Zhuo Dingfeng assassinated Wang Gang before, but was severely injured. The injury did not heal completely after a long time of recovery, so he was injured the second time.
Then more and more people were injured. Even Meng Zhi was scratched on his shoulder without noticing.
Mei Changsu understood that he had implicated everyone, and in order to protect him, others could not rush out.
"When will the people from Jiangzuo Alliance and Prince Jing's Mansion arrive?" Meng Zhi was also a little anxious at this time. The longer the time dragged on, the more their physical strength declined.
"Hide inside the house first." Wang Gang stayed at the front, blocking most of the arrows and protecting everyone who rushed into a room in the Hou Mansion.
Wang Gang and Meng Zhi worked together to seal the doors and windows inside the house to stop the arrows.
Xie Yu asked people to attack by force, but Wang Gang blocked him every time.
Outside the Marquis of Ning's Mansion, soldiers from Prince Jing's Mansion and masters from the Jiangzuo Alliance joined forces to attack the gate. Xie Yu issued a death order and asked the patrol battalion to hold on for an hour.
In the house of the Hou Mansion, Gong Yu was hit by an arrow in his arm, and the blood slowly dyed his clothes red.
"Her condition is very dangerous. If she doesn't receive treatment, her arm will not be saved." Nihuang said to Mei Changsu after giving Gong Yu a brief examination.
Mei Changsu frowned and said: "I underestimated the combat effectiveness of the patrol battalion. The people who are supporting us from outside may not be able to rush in so quickly."
Gong Yu's face turned pale and he said: "Sect Master, it doesn't matter to me. I came to Ningguo Hou Mansion today and I didn't want to leave alive!"
Mei Changsu sighed and said: "This is my fault. Prince Jing reminded me that Xie Yu would jump over the wall in a hurry, but I didn't expect him to be so brave. He actually hid the patrol camp in the Hou Mansion without alerting anyone?"
Nihuang said: "It stands to reason that such a large-scale troop mobilization can't be without a little trouble?"
Mei Changsu said gloomily: "There must be a secret passage in Ning Guohou's mansion that can lead to the outside!"
Xiao Jingrui shook his head and said: "I have lived here for more than 20 years, and I don't know any secret passages."
"Xie Yu should have been preparing to rebel long ago." Nihuang said angrily.
"You are a treacherous minister and a traitor."
Wang Gang slowly walked to Gong Yu and asked, "Can you bear the pain?"
Gong Yu nodded palely.
Wang Gang picked up a snatched long knife, put the tip of the knife on the candle to bake, and then said to Nihuang: "I will let you draw the arrow later, don't hesitate."
Nihuang stared intently at the long arrow on Gong Yu's arm.
"pull!"
Nihuang pulled out the arrow, and the next moment a long red knife was placed on the wound, and the smell of roasted meat filled the whole room.
Gong Yu howled miserably and fell completely on top of Princess Nihuang.
Wang Gang used the same method to stop Zhuo Dingfeng's bleeding, but it was Princess Xiandai's turn to be in trouble.
Princess Xiandai was also hit by an arrow, but the arrow hit her shoulder, and she had to take off her shirt to stop the bleeding.
"Nihuang, you and Mr. Xia help Princess Xiandai stop the bleeding. All of us men should stay away," Wang Gang said.
"No need to bother." Princess Xiandai took off her clothes and exposed her white shoulders, not shying away from Wang Gang at all.
Xia Dong came over to support Princess Xiandai and help her pull out the arrow. Wang Gang took action to stop the bleeding.
The huge pain made Princess Xiandai tremble all over, but she did not groan.
For the first time, Wang Gang felt that the Princess of Nanchu was not without merit.
"Prince Jing, what's wrong, Xie Yu prepared tung oil and seems to want to burn us here." Meng Zhi shouted.
Wang Gang quickly walked to the window and found a large number of soldiers pouring tung oil outside the house.
"We can't sit still and wait for death, otherwise the fire will spread and it will be difficult to escape!" Wang Gang said seriously.
"But according to King Jing's orders."
At the critical moment of life and death, everyone was united as never before. Even foreigners like Princess Xiandai and Yue Xiuze looked up to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang took a deep breath, and the tenth level of Tenglong Jin was compressed into the Dantian Qi sea layer by layer, turning into a round bead.
Ever since Neijiaquan entered Huajin, Wang Gang has been trying to hold the elixir in his crotch, condensing the whole body's energy and blood into a "golden elixir" and bursting out, turning it into elixir energy.
Unfortunately, he tried for many years without success until he came to the world of Nirvana in Fire and practiced the tenth level of Tenglong Jin. Wang Gang had practiced this Daliang royal magic skill to the point where he could no longer progress. His internal strength was like an arm commanding him.
Just make it round, think of it as square.
Then he began to try to use internal energy instead of qi and blood to burst out elixir energy.
It's just that the internal force is compressed and exploded, which is very difficult and extremely dangerous. Wang Gang doesn't dare to try it casually, and he has never used it once since he mastered it.
As soon as Wang opened his eyes, the internal energy in his dantian exploded, and the door panel in front of him was suddenly thrown away by a strong force and hit Xie Yu, who was five feet away.
With a roaring sound, the huge door panel hit the soldiers of the Marquis of Ning State hard, and the broken limbs flew onto Xie Yu.
A black shadow sprang out of the house at a speed that could no longer be caught with the naked eye.
With a huge burst of power, Wang Gang was like an ancient behemoth, charging rampantly and cutting his way through the crowd.
Wang Gang took a big step and punched a soldier. The next moment, the pill energy exploded, thunder exploded in the air, and the broken limbs radiated like a fan shape, clearing away the people within three feet around him.
Xie Yu was pushed back by the huge wind and waves and fell to the ground in a panic. Just as he was about to get up, a knife was placed across Xie Yu's neck.
"Everyone stop!" King Yu held the knife and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice broken.
Xie Yu shouted to Prince Yu in disbelief: "My lord, are you crazy?"
King Yu said coldly: "If I were really crazy, I would join in with you."
Xie Yuru was hit hard.
King Yu once again asked the soldiers of the Marquis of Ning State to put down their weapons, and Wang Gang also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was new to Dan Jin and was very unskilled. After two blows, he felt a faint tingling sensation in his meridians.
At the gate of Ningguo Hou's Mansion, Prince Jing's soldiers and the masters of the Jiangzuo Alliance finally broke through the defense line and poured into the Hou's Mansion.
Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Xie Yu realized that he was finished and gave up resistance completely.
Emperor Liang suddenly heard in the palace that Xie Yu had rebelled, led a patrol battalion to the capital, and almost killed his two sons in the Marquis Mansion. He thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"Has Xie Yu lost his mind and gone crazy? What kind of rebellion did he make?" Emperor Liang roared at the secret agent of the Xuanjing Department.
"Lord Xia Dong is also trapped in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. What he saw with his own eyes is absolutely true." The secret agent kowtowed.
Emperor Liang was speechless and immediately sent the imperial army to control the Ningguo Hou Mansion. Even the eldest princess of Liyang was placed under house arrest. All those involved in the case, as long as they were not injured, went to the palace to see her.
Xie Yu was forced into a prison and was temporarily under the custody of the Ministry of Punishment.
The next day, the once prestigious Ningguo Hou Mansion was confiscated by Emperor Liang in anger. Princess Liyang and her children temporarily lived in the Princess Mansion.
People from Tianquan Villa were also detained to explain the dirty work they had done for Xie Yu over the years.
Xia Jiang just wanted to save Xie Yu at this time, but he was also worried that he would be implicated.
King Yu was not implicated by Xie Yu. He finally turned against Xie Yu and drew a clear line with Xie Yu to save himself.
Wang Gang was the biggest winner in this incident. Not only did Shi Enxuanjing Si Xia Dong, Princess Xiandai of Southern Chu and others also regain the power of the patrol camp, Emperor Liang even allowed him to purge the top management of the patrol camp and eliminate Xie Yu's influence.
.
The moment he saw Wang Gang gaining military power, the jealousy in King Yu's eyes could not be concealed at all, but Emperor Liang did not care what he thought.
Xie Yu was very honest in prison. He could even be said to be silent. He didn't say a word. He faced the wall all day long, as if he was thinking about his faults in front of the wall, and he seemed to be waiting for someone.

Daliang Tianlao.
Just after Yin Shi, the prison suddenly fell into darkness, and all the candles were extinguished at the same time. Xie Yu suddenly woke up. A man in black outside the cell slowly approached and used a needle to open the lock.
"You're finally here." Xie Yu seemed to have expected someone to come.
"Everyone in the sky prison was stunned by me." The man in black walked into the cell and took out his dagger.
"Xia Shouzun, are you here to kill me or save me?" Xie Yu said calmly.
The man in black stopped.
Xie Yu said coldly: "Xia Shouzun wouldn't think of killing me. No one knows what we did twelve years ago!"
The man in black slowly put down the dagger and said: "Xie Yu, you are a smart man. I don't believe that a living person can keep secrets."
Xie Yu said: "I have been guarding it for twelve years, what's the difficulty in continuing to guard it?"
The man in black snorted coldly: "Back then, we forged Nie Feng's handwriting, framed the Red Flame Army for rebellion, and killed King Qi. When you were a high-ranking official and well-paid, you were naturally able to keep secrets, but now that you are in jail, how can I trust you!
"
Xie Yu said: "Xia Shouzun, you don't have to doubt me. For the sake of my family, I will keep the secret even if I die. The reason why I didn't commit suicide is just to wait for a promise from you."
The man in black said solemnly: "You want me to take care of your family?"
Xie Yu sighed and said: "The person I am most sorry for in my life is Li Yang. After I die, please Xia Shouzun to take good care of her and ensure that she will not be dragged down by me and will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth."
The man in black silently threw the dagger in front of Xie Yu.
"I promise you."
Xie Yu touched the dagger and said, "I want Xia Shouzun to swear an oath."
"I swear by the ancestors of the Xia family that you will protect Princess Liyang after your death. If you violate the oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth." The man in black said.
"Okay." Xie Yu slowly put the dagger on his neck.
Suddenly, the lights in the cell were brightly lit.
