Shao Yu said indifferently: "The two nations are at war with each other, and if we don't kill each other, Shao Jun and Cai Gui will become Feng Country envoys, so there is nothing wrong with me treating the two of them."

Han Zhong sneered: "Master Shao's words are even better than if they were sung. I think that you are purposefully plotting against your enemy in secret, you are up to no good! "

Shao Yu shrugged his shoulders and said: "The crime I want to commit must be committed. If Master Han wants to wrongly accuse me, then I can't do anything about it."

"Whether I have wronged you or not, you should know it yourself!" Han Zhong bent his body forward, and said solemnly: "Master Shao, you and I will be together as court ministers, I do not wish to see you walk the path of no return. Since there is still a chance, you should immediately capture Shao Jun and Cai Gui, the two thieves, and I can even plead for mercy on your behalf, if not, it would be too late to regret!"

"Ha ha!" Shao Yu first laughed softly, and then laughed with his head raised.

Han Zhong and Yuan Tian looked at each other, and the former shouted: "Why is Master Shao laughing?"

"I'm laughing at Sir Han." Shao Yu stopped laughing and said leisurely: "I, Shao Yu, have been an official for dozens of years, do I need you to remind me about my work?" Although he looked to be in his thirties, he had indeed been a government official for almost thirty years.

Han Zhong nodded, and said: "Good words will make it difficult to persuade the damned! Since Master Shao is adamant, then don't blame me for being impolite! " As he spoke, he slammed the cup down on the floor.

Pow!

The wine cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Almost at the same time, a huge commotion broke out outside. There were shouts from people and the sound of clinking metal could be heard.

Shao Yu subconsciously looked outside, but due to the obstruction of the door, he did not see anything clearly. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Master Han, what's going on?"

Han Zhong sneered, and said: "Shao Yu, you'll know what's going on soon!" Just as he finished his sentence, a crisp crack resounded in his eardrums. The door to the hall was forcibly slammed open by someone outside. At the same time, a person fell in.

This person was wearing a spirit armor, but her entire body was covered in arrows, and blood flowed down along the spirit armor and to the ground. The man climbed up from the ground with much difficulty and staggered two steps forward, shouting, "Sir, there's an ambush outside ?"

Before he even finished speaking, another person rushed in from outside. This person was still covered in spirit armor, and in his hand was a shining Spiritual Knife, his figure was extremely fast, like a leopard, he instantly rushed to the back of the injured Spirit Cultivator and raised his blade. Kacha, following a flash of cold light, the injured Spirit Cultivator's head fell on the ground.

"Pu!" Crimson blood spewed out from the severed neck of the corpse to more than three feet high. At the same time, it caused the entire hall to be filled with cries of alarm and screams.

Before the surrounding people could even react to what was happening, that person had already knelt down on one knee, interposed and bowed, and said with a trembling voice: "This lowly subordinate pays his respects to the Lord, and has startled the Lord!"

Shao Yu's complexion had already returned to normal. He smiled and nodded his head slightly, without saying a word, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank his wine slowly.

It was only now that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian realised that the Spirit Cultivator that came in from behind were actually Shao Yu's subordinates. Han Zhong slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Shao Yu and bellowed: "Shao Yu, you dare ?"

Hundreds of blade and axe men rushed over to Han Zhong and his group, encircling them in a circle. The Spirit Cultivator, on the other hand, gathered around Shao Yu to protect him tightly.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze in an instant, no one spoke, and no one made a sound either. An invisible pressure slowly condensed in the hall, pressing on people so hard that they almost couldn't breathe, this was the Spirit Pressure that was being released by the Spirit Cultivator.

The chaos outside the hall continued. Arrow sounds rang out as swords and sabers clashed. The screams of the wounded and the cries of the dying were one.

Shao Yu put down the cup, poured and drank by himself, and said slowly: "Master Han, I have said it before, I, Shao Yu have been an official for dozens of years, do not need you to teach me how to do things?!" Saying that, he stood up, walking towards Han Zhong and Yuan Tian, the blade and axe men surrounding the two all moved to the side, opening up a path for him. Shao Yu stood in the midst of the crowd and continued: "My path, has always been chosen by me. I never need someone else to help me choose it."

"You ignorant fellow, so it turns out that you had already planned for a rebellion!" Han Zhong screamed, he retrieved his sword and rushed towards Shao Yu with a roar.

Without waiting for him to rush to Shao Yu's front, a blade and axe man standing near him moved quickly, with a wave of his axe, he smashed down onto Han Zhong's face. Because Shao Yu had yet to give the order to kill him, the blade and axe hands would still be merciful. They would use the axe to slap him, not the axe to chop him down.

Even so, Han Zhong was still unable to take it. Along with a loud smacking sound, the axe head solidly smashed into his face, causing Han Zhong to scream in pain as his body fell to the ground, his official hat falling to the ground and flying a good distance away. He was lying on the ground with both his hands covering his face, blood flowing out from the gaps of his fingers.

"Hng hng!" Shao Yu laughed sinisterly. Without even looking at the fallen Han Zhong, he turned his eyes to Yuan Tian. Han Zhong was a scholar, he did not know even the slightest bit about the Spirit Force. But Yuan Tian was born into the military, so even though his Spirit Force was not that powerful, it was not that weak either.

At this time, he secretly sighed in his heart, he originally thought that tonight would be a good opportunity to capture Shao Yu, he never thought that his side's intentions would be seen through by him, and they had already prepared an ambush, maybe, this was fate!

"Master Yuan, a wise man knows his place. Tonight, both you and Master Han are unable to escape, and rather than being Shao Fang's scapegoat, it would be better to follow me to the Feng King. In the future, we can still peacefully enjoy the glory of being officials." Shao Yu sincerely advised.

He didn't fancy Han Zhong, but he knew that Yuan Tian was an outstanding talent. If he could rope Yuan Tian in to join them and rely on his Feng Country, he could be considered to have done another meritorious deed.

Yuan Tian grinned, he sat on the mat and did not move, he raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. After he finished drinking, he took out a handkerchief and leisurely wiped the corner of his mouth. Afterwards, he slowly stood up, took out the sword at his waist, shook his head, and said: "Master Shao can lower his Feng Country, but I can't."

As Yuan Tian unsheathed his sword, the surrounding Spirit Cultivator began to pull him back as if they were facing a great enemy. Shao Yu waved his hand towards the crowd, signalling them not to be nervous. After that, he furrowed his brows and asked: "Why does Master Yuan say that?"2

"Lord Shao does not have any worries, but I do." Yuan Tian lowered his head to look at the sword in his hand, and said indifferently: "Master Shao, you may not have a sincere heart, but I cannot."

His voice wasn't loud, but Shao Yu could hear how unyielding Yuan Tian's attitude was. Also, he could understand what worries him later on. His family members were all at Xishan County, and if he surrendered, his entire family would be in trouble. However, Yuan Tian was different, his family members were all at Zhenjiang.

"Ai!" Shao Yu let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "Looks like we can only end this matter here, where both of us serve at the same hall!"

Yuan Tian laughed, with a flip of his wrist, he raised his sword and placed it against his own neck. He looked straight at Shao Yu and said meaningfully: "Master Shao, allow me to remind you one last time, Tang Yin is not an open-minded person. If you submit to him today, you will definitely be harmed!" As he finished speaking, he rubbed his arm with force, and with a "pu pu" sound, the tip of the sword mercilessly tore open his throat. Blood seeped out as it fell to the ground.

Looking at Yuan Tian's body that had cut himself off, Shao Yu couldn't really tell what he was feeling. He could not bear to see it, but at the same time, he felt ashamed.

"Lord, this thief spoke rudely before he died. Lord Curse, how can we leave him with his corpse?" The Spirit Cultivator around Shao Yu roared in anger, and acted as if they wanted to cut Yuan Tian into ten thousand pieces.

Shao Yu waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, although Yuan Tian wants to harm me, he is still a man with a tough character."

"Yes!" Lord! That... Where's Han Zhong? "

Shao Yu lowered his head to look at Han Zhong who was still unable to get up from the ground, coldly laughed, and said with an expressionless face: "Kill!"

Just as he finished speaking, a blade and axe hand impatiently rushed forward and chopped at Han Zhong's neck.

Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had originally planned to take advantage of the feast to capture Shao Yu, but instead, both of them died tragically at the banquet, and even the Spirit Cultivator that came with them, did not manage to escape, and were either captured by Shao Yu's subordinates or killed. The other few Chiliarch soldiers that were ambushed near the General's Mansion did not fare well either, they did not even have the chance to attack the General's Mansion, and were surrounded by countless of enemies, and in the end could only surrender helplessly.

This plot to capture Shao Yu ended in failure. Although it was and Han Zhong's own fault, but they could not deny the brilliance of Cai Gui's plan.

His ingenuity lay not in how profound his plans were, but in his insight into the human heart.

He saw through Shao Yu's intentions to leave a path of retreat for himself at every corner, so he openly followed Shao Jun to Fengyang. He saw through the many ministers present in the hall of the Mo Country, thus he was able to accurately find the breakthrough point of Grand Preceptor Zhang Rong.

If generals wanted to become famous, it would depend on war, while Cai Gui, who knew neither Spirit Force nor army, relied on his intelligence to obtain Xishan County and became famous.

Even after the incident, Tang Yin still praised Cai Gui greatly, as he alone defeated a million soldiers.

After hearing the news that Shao Yu had led the entire county's soldiers to turn their heads, the Feng Army that was originally pretending to continue south immediately turned around and returned to the Xishan County.

This was the second time Feng Army had entered his body. After entering the Xishan County twice, both times, the Feng Army had been filled with ambition. However, the first time had ended in failure, and this time, the Feng Army had come as a surrender.

When Tang Yin led his troops to the western mountain entrance, he saw that it was filled with a black mass of Mo Army. The Mo Army had no banner, no weapon in hand, and no helmet on his head. The one in the lead, covered in all sorts of bandages, was kneeling on the ground, looking completely like a sinner begging for forgiveness.
