Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu's voice, however, was louder than the sound of thunder and reached the outside of the palace.    

On the wide open space outside the palace, the officials and the Imperial Army were still waiting quietly outside. No one went to disturb them.    

They were waiting for the final moment to arrive.    

The Qianlong Army had already entered the city. The Hidden Dragon Flag was hanging high above the imperial city gate. The air was filled with a murderous aura.    

"Put your weapons on the left, and the people on the right. Follow the order!" A general of the Qianlong Army stood high up in the air and shouted sternly.    

In front of him, countless soldiers of the Imperial Army silently disarmed themselves and stood to the side.    

They had already lost the ability to fight. If they wanted to put up a resistance at this moment, they would undoubtedly be courting death.    

Lu Jingsheng, along with the commander of the Qianlong Army, had long since stood outside the Cosmos Hall and surrounded it.    

The others could wait, but they could not.    

If anything unexpected happened inside, they would immediately rush in and help Lu Yu.    

Rumble!    

The sound of thunder was still echoing in the sky.    

In the rain, everyone's figure seemed somewhat blurry.    

Zhang Yi stood on the city wall of the imperial city, looking at the imperial city under the rumbling thunder.    

He was the leader of the Nets Above Snares Below, so he could not be too close to the others.    

Lu Yu returned to the army and settled down. He broke Li Mi's plan and killed all the Tang Army elites. The main reason was that the information was accurate.    

However, only Zhang Yi knew what kind of price he had paid.    

The first few battles of the Qianlong Army were full of loopholes because of the infiltration of the Nets Above Snares Below. They had lost several battles, and even some of the commanders had died on the battlefield.    

Zhang Yi had to withstand a lot of pressure to turn the situation around and obtain victory in the end.    

At this moment, Zhang Yi was filled with mixed emotions. He was a genius of the Zhang family, and he had also obtained the inheritance of the ancient Zhongheng family. He called himself a peerless genius, and he was extremely arrogant. However, after the real battle, he realized the gap between them.    

War was a baptism. At this moment, Zhang Yi was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, he had become serious and solemn.    

Behind him stood a group of officials from Great Yu's imperial court. They came from various offices, and they were the eyes and ears of the Nets Above Snares Below.    

"Milord, we went to the Xu family's residence and searched it from inside out. All the Xu family members have left, leaving only some servants and maids. They even withdrew their branch members in advance, and we missed them."    

A spy suddenly appeared beside Zhang Yi and reported.    

Zhang Yi said coolly, "After all, they are a family with many years of history. It is normal for them to be on guard. Have you prepared the intelligence on the escape route of the Xu family members?"    

Behind Zhang Yi, an official from the Ministry of Justice said, "It has been prepared for a long time. The Xu family members are very cautious. A portion of their family members left on merchant ships, while the rest followed the Imperial Army out of the city. Then, they spread out outside the imperial capital. We've recorded the names of these people, and the routes have already been investigated. "    

" Then let's do it. Before the Lord comes out, capture all of the Xu family members. " Zhang Yi said coldly.    

"Yes!"    

Just as the Nets Above Snares Below was about to take action, another spy ran over nervously.    

"Sir!"    

The spy hurriedly ran over and said, "The Xu Family members have all been captured by the Court of Judicial Review and are currently being escorted over."    

Court of Judicial Review?    

"Who did it?" Zhang Yi asked in a deep voice.    

The spy said, "It was Shaoqing of the Court of Judicial Review, Li Si."    

When he heard the name, Zhang Yi's eyes became slightly dazed.    

He suddenly realized that his reaction today was a little slow.    

Such a great merit had actually been snatched away by someone else!
