Chapter 242: A life-and-death duel between two generals

"Concubine Jing, don't make any changes when you return to the Imperial Mausoleum. Don't let the Tiger Clan and other forces suspect that you are being controlled."

"If there is any important situation, please inform me."

Xiao Fan asked Concubine Jing to go outside the Xiao Mansion.

Concubine Jing had the cultivation level of the middle stage of Emperor Wu, so she left quietly.

Originally, Xiao Fan wanted Concubine Jing to trick some powerful demons into killing them, which would greatly increase the strength of the Death Army.

Now Xiao Fan has changed his mind.

Since the Tiger Clan has known for a long time that Concubine Jing is a fox demon, and she disappeared for a few days, the Tiger Clan may have heightened their vigilance.

It may not be easy for Concubine Jing to deceive the powerful monster clan at this time.

It's better to let her stay quietly for now. In a few months, the tiger clan and fox clan will definitely be less wary of her.

"The list was given to His Majesty, why hasn't His Majesty taken action yet?"

Xiao Fan muttered in his heart.

Qin Zhentian should clear out some people who are loyal to King Xiaoyao and try to rebel. Qin Zhentian will definitely not be polite to them.

But now three days have passed and he has not yet received the luck of the empire. He is still waiting to sign in after getting some imperial luck.

"Could it be that His Majesty knows that Mrs. Tianxiang is a demon and is in a bad mood? He has no intention of dealing with those people recently?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must be in love."

…

Twenty miles outside Shengjing City.

A strong man quickly approached from the air, and another strong man stepped forward to meet him.

"General Wei, are you also going back to Shengjing City?"

The strong man who came forward was named Liu Xiong. He was also a general and guarded the north.

The general Wei who came from behind was named Wei Tai. He was not a general guarding the border, but a general in the central part of the Tianlong Empire.

Both of them control many soldiers and horses.

"yes."

Wei Tai nodded.

They had met many times before and were quite familiar with each other.

Liu Xiong said: "General Wei, let's find a place to have a drink first? I have something to ask you, General Wei."

"no problem."

"General Liu, I haven't drunk the wine at Zuixianglou for a long time. Let's go to Zuixianglou together and I'll treat you to a drink."

Wei Tai said with a smile.

"General Wei, let's not go back to Shengjing City yet. Let's find an ordinary tavern in the town below to have a few drinks."

Wei Tai was confused.

But they had a good relationship and Wei Tai did not refuse.

The two soon arrived at a tavern in the town below.

After closing the door, Liu Xiong created a barrier.

"General Wei, I actually arrived here an hour ago. Your Majesty asked me to go back now. Do you think there will be any problems?"

Liu Xiong stared at Wei Taidao.

He was secretly loyal to King Xiaoyao. He didn't know if Wei Tai was also loyal to King Xiaoyao, but he felt that the possibility was not low.

Wei Tai was shocked.

He also received a decree to come back and resume his life.

If it was just him, Wei Tai wouldn't feel there was a problem, but Liu Xiong was also called back. Is there really a problem?

"General Liu, are you overthinking?"

"Don't you feel comfortable when we come back and have fun for a few days?"

Wei Tai said tentatively.

Liu Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly: "We work hard and there is no time to be free. Only those like King Xiaoyao are truly free."

"King Xiaoyao has not been in Shengjing City recently, and I don't know where Xiaoyao went."

Wei Tai's heartbeat quickened, King Xiaoyao was missing? King Xiaoyao will not be caught by His Majesty, and now His Majesty will target them, right?

"General Liu, we are all a big family, and we have to face what we have to face. This wine is not good, why don't we go to Zuixianglou to drink it?"

Wei Tai was silent for a while and said.

Liu Xiong sighed.

He has a lot of family members, and they are all in Shengjing City.

"The wine here is really bad."

"Walk!"

The two of them entered Shengjing City not long after. They did not go home or return to the palace. They first went to Zuixiang Tower to drink.

Huangfuhan arrived at their place while they were half-drinking.

"General Wei, General Liu, when you return to Shengjing City, why don't you seek your Majesty's orders first? This is not the way to serve as a minister."

Huangfuhan said quietly.

Wei Tai took a deep breath: "Commander Huangfu, you came just in time. After drinking this drink, I plan to fight to the death with Liu Xiong, an old man. Today I will kill this old man."

"Am I afraid of you, Wei? A life-and-death duel is a life-and-death duel. I've tolerated you for a long time, and only one of us can survive today!"

Liu Xiong was furious.

Huangfu Han frowned and said, "General Wei, General Liu, is there something wrong with you in this life-or-death battle?"

Wei Tai cupped his hands and said, "Commander Huangfu, please forgive me. It is not convenient for us to see His Majesty in this state."

"Old man Liu, there is a dueling ground nearby. If you have the guts, come over!"

Speaking of this, Wei Tai left quickly, and Liu Xiong also followed, and soon the two of them arrived at a nearby duel field.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Both of them were Martial King-level experts, and while they were cursing, they both tried their best to attack, and used all kinds of killing moves.

"Father!"

"Brother!"

In less than half a stick of incense, Wei Tai and his family members rushed over after receiving the news. By this time, Liu Xiong's condition was already very bad.

"Those named Wei, let's die together!"

Liu Xiong rushed towards Wei Tai crazily.

"Boom!"

Liu Xiong chose to blow himself up.

With a shocking loud noise, a huge crater with a diameter of several hundred meters and a depth of several hundred meters was blown out of the ground of the duel field.

"puff!"

"Old man, you are cruel."

Wei Tai was blown away, his lower body was shattered, blood kept spitting out of his mouth, and soon he also died.

When Huangfu Han appeared, they knew they were dead. Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well die in a life-and-death duel.

Their families were not aware of it.

This might allow their families to survive.

…

"Your Majesty, Wei Tai and Liu Xiong had some conflict, they had a life-and-death duel, and both died in the duel."

Huangfu Han came to Qin Zhentian and reported.

Qin Zhentian's eyes flashed, Wei Tai and Liu Xiong were smart, they actually chose to die in the duel.

If they died like this, they died as generals.

If they were ordered to die by him, they would be criminals.

"The two families didn't quarrel, did they?"

Qin Zhentian said in a calm voice.

Huangfu Han said: "Both the Wei family and the Liu family have gone, and the two families are quarreling now, but many of the Shenwu Guards have gone, and it is unlikely that the two families will fight."

"Yeah."

Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.

He knew that Wei Tai and Liu Xiong wanted the two families to clash, so that they could not stand together to rebel.

"Don't think that I will let them off easily if they die because they are fighting a life-and-death duel between colleagues!"

"Decree that the two of them be demoted by three ranks, and the rest of the three generations be demoted by one rank. If the two families continue to mess around, all of them will be demoted to civilians!"

Qin Zhentian said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, a eunuch came out of the palace to convey Qin Zhentian's order.

In the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Fan felt two imperial fortunes one after another.

And these two imperial fortunes are not small.

Wei Tai and Liu Xiong are both second-rank military generals with real power.

"Father-in-law finally took action."

"With these two imperial fortunes, I should be able to sign in good things."

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.
