Chapter 1008 The Third Ancient Capital
The army set off and headed towards Xucheng, the second ancient capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers of the Shui Yao Army never expected that this trip would be so difficult. They originally thought it would be a life-and-death excavation trip for treasures, but because of Shi Ji's presence, everyone was trembling with fear.
Now that her true nature has been revealed, Shi Ji no longer hides it. Along the way, she will kill people if she doesn't go her way at all.
Of the two thousand Shui Yao troops, more than a hundred people died at the hands of Shi Ji before they reached Xucheng.
Shui Yao's army came to Xucheng in a mighty manner, and followed the same pattern, excavation in Xucheng.
It's a pity that the soldiers worked hard to dig, but they returned in vain.
There was nothing under the walls of Xucheng. The soldiers were exhausted and felt like they had been fooled.
"I said, what are you digging for? There is nothing. I don't believe there are treasures under these ancient capitals. The royal family is not a fool. How could they bury treasures underground?"
"Keep your voice down! If that woman hears it, we will both be dead!"
The two soldiers discussed quietly.
Having witnessed Shi Ji's terror, the soldiers did not dare to complain too much even if their efforts were in vain.
Zhou Ran is also hiding in Shui Yao's army. There is no Shura Pillar under the city of Xucheng, which is reasonable.
The Ming Dynasty was in constant war, the royal family changed frequently, and the capital was constantly changing. Naturally, the Shura Pillar buried by the Antarctic Immortal was nowhere to be found.
Zhou Ran took out the map and marked X in Yuhui City and Xucheng.
There are still three ancient capitals left. I don't know which ancient capital the Shura Pillar will be under. It is also possible that they all guessed wrong and the Shura Pillar is in another place.
"Shui Yao Army, let's go!"
Shuiyao General Luo Hong said loudly that the soldiers did not dare to complain and headed towards the third ancient capital, Wuhua City.
Wuhua City is less than a hundred miles away from Xucheng. In the morning and evening, the Shui Yao Army gathered outside Wuhua City.
Although Wuhua City has been abandoned for a long time, there are still many citizens living around it.
When the citizens saw the army coming, they all cast displeased looks.
"It's the flag of Shui Yao Army. I wonder what it's doing here?"
"This is Wuhua City, one of the oldest capitals of the Ming Dynasty. Do they want to desecrate even this place?"
"The damn army doesn't protect the country, but instead steals and plunders everywhere."
Several citizens talked for a while, but did not dare to say anything more, and walked away angrily.
Luo Hong was about to let the Shui Yao army garrison, but he discovered that there were not only the Shui Yao army outside the city, but also three other armies, which were the Mu Yao army, the Huo Yao army, and the Tu Yao army.
The army of the Ming Dynasty was composed of the five armies of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each army had 2,000 people, making a total of 10,000 troops.
An abandoned capital city, with 80% of the Ming Dynasty's military strength gathered outside the city, even Shui Yao General Luo Hong did not expect it.
I originally thought that General Hou Bufan had given enough face by handing over the Shui Yao Army to Shi Ji's command, but he didn't expect that even the Mu Yao Army, Huo Yao Army, and Tu Yao Army also came, which shows that Shi Ji's identity is not simple.
What surprised Luo Hong even more was that after seeing Shi Ji, the three generals of Wood, Fire, and Earth all knelt down in front of Shi Ji and were extremely respectful.
When Luo Hong saw this, she didn't dare to neglect and knelt down in front of Shi Ji.
"Get up!" Shi Ji said coldly, without any expression on her face. "Shui Yao Army, Mu Yao Army, Huo Yao Army, and Tu Yao Army are stationed outside Wuhua City. They will dig into the city early tomorrow morning!"
Shi Ji gave an order, and four armies were stationed outside the city.
The next day, Shi Ji reorganized the army and prepared to lead the soldiers to Wuhua City, but she did not expect that several Ming ministers stood in front of the four armies.
One of them had white hair and was crying.
"What are the Shui Yao Army, Mu Yao Army, Huo Yao Army, and Tu Yao Army going to do? This is Wuhua City, a thousand-year-old ancient capital. Under Wuhua City, there are the tombs of the Ming Dynasty royal family! How can the army desecrate the tombs of our ancestors? Wuhua City The Yao Army exists to protect our country, not to pry graves and exhume corpses. Please think again, four generals!"
The white-haired old man didn't know that Shi Ji was the commander of the four armies.
He kept pleading with the four generals.
The ministers behind the old man did not hesitate and formed a human wall in front of the army.
"Who is this old man?" Shi Ji asked Luo Hong beside him.
"He is the master of the Ming Dynasty, Dao Tuzi, and a veteran of the Five Dynasties of the Ming Dynasty!" Luo Hong revealed the identity of the white-haired old man.
"A veteran of the Five Dynasties?" Shi Ji sneered, "It's a pity that everyone who stands in front of me will die!"
While speaking, Shi Ji waved her hand, and an explosion immediately occurred where Dao Tuzi was standing.
Dao Tuzi and other Ming ministers were all blown away. Although everyone was not dead, they were still in a very embarrassed state.
Shi Ji came to Dao Tuzi and others and said: "Anyone who blocks me will die! If anyone blocks the army from entering the city again, I will cut them into pieces!"
Shi Ji threatened with words, but Dao Tuzi remained calm.
"You witch! It turns out you are controlling the army! The Ming Dynasty's national power was defeated by a witch like you!"
Dao Tuzi scolded Shi Ji. He didn't know Shi Ji. Just looking at Shi Ji's appearance, he thought that Shi Ji was a disaster for the country and the people.
"Witch?" Shi Ji snorted coldly. She quite liked this title, but this did not mean that Dao Tuzi and others did not have to die. "In that case, let me send you on your way!"
Shi Ji held down Dao Tuzi's head. As long as she exerted a little force, Dao Tuzi's head would break.
At this moment, a sword energy struck.
Before Shi Ji could react, a bloody hole appeared on her palm.
"Who!"
Shi Ji was furious. This person attacked suddenly, and the power of the sword energy was so strong that he actually shot through her palm.
This little injury was nothing to Shi Ji. Shi Ji increased her true energy and used it to heal her palm.
The wound gradually healed, but Shi Ji's anger grew stronger and stronger.
The four generals of water, wood, fire, and earth were all stunned. What happened just now? Why was Shi Ji, who was so strong, injured?
Who hurt Shi Ji?
Shi Ji looked around in panic. It was impossible to hide her true energy when she could use that kind of sword energy.
But she didn't feel the breath of any strong people around, which made Shi Ji stunned.
"Who! Come out!"
Shi Ji roared, and suddenly, another sword energy shot over.
It was more powerful than the previous sword energy. Shi Ji was well prepared, so she avoided the sharp edge.
But even so, Shi Ji still didn't find out who attacked her.
The four generals were all dumbfounded. Someone could actually make Shi Ji so angry. Who attacked Shi Ji?
Shi Ji was attacked by someone, but she couldn't find the attacker. As a girl of the inner realm, how could she endure it?
Endless power burst out from Shi Ji's body, and the ground under her feet began to shake violently.
