Chapter 336 Heavenly Prison
The Yin and Zhou army stationed on Qiuyiyuan outside the suburbs of Shendu fought several times with Li Zhaode from Hoshino Town, each with each other's victory or defeat, each with casualties. The Yin and Zhou Baowu army could not quickly suppress the rebellion in a decisive manner. The Overwhelming Wu army wanted to quickly advance outside the Shendu City, but could not break through the powerful defense line of Qiuyiyuan, and it was difficult to achieve its wish. In the end, no one could overwhelm the other. The two sides were in a state of tug-of-war, rest, and confrontation.
Although the war outside the city is fierce and dangerous, the city is as calm as usual. The only difference from usual is that there are many more defenders on the top of the city, with flags fluttering and armors shining. The city gates have increased the intensity of guarding, and extremely strict inspections are required when entering and leaving the city.
The following notices are posted in the eight gates of Shendu, as well as prominent locations in the main streets and markets:
"When surveillance of the residences of the rebel Li Zhaode and his gangsters, four thieves who killed the imperial guards and ministers were captured, claiming to be members of the Spirit Wolf. They will be executed at the court at noon on May 8 to serve as a warning to others. They will inform the world and make the world aware of it."
"What is a spirit wolf?" Someone was confused.
"A wolf can also collude with enemies? This is a bit exaggerated. Did the court be scared by Li Zhaode and get the shadow of a cup of bow and snake?" Someone said with an exaggerated expression.
"It's unheard of to kill wolves in the court, so I'm going to see it."
For many common people, the Linglang Gang is still an extremely unfamiliar name, just like the imperial court. Some people really mistakenly think that they want to kill the wolf in public.
"Even the spirit wolf doesn't know, he's really ignorant and unsightly!"
Someone sneered and said in a contemptuous tone.
For those who open shops and do business in the market, the Linglang Gang is a well-known name.
If you want to do your business well and do it for a long time, you will inevitably have to deal with the spirit wolf. Because many businesses are monopolized by the spirit wolf, the spirit wolf is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
The spirit wolf is powerful and domineering, relying on the large number of people and powerful people to bully the market. He beats people and smashes shops whenever he disagrees. He has heard and witnessed all small merchants and vendors, and some people have even had personal experiences and were bullied.
"The spirit wolf should have been killed long ago. The net of heaven is vast and sparse, and God finally opened his eyes!"
People who say such ruthless words are naturally vendors who have been bullied and extorted by spirit wolf.
At this time, there was a man wearing a hat next to him, looking at the person who said this, with a cold look in his eyes, which made the man shudder, stuck out his tongue, quickly closed his voice, no longer expressed any opinions, and subconsciously stayed away a few steps away.

Zhengyang Palace.
There was no major progress in the search for the disappearance of the emperor's heir, Li Cheng's two palaces, the pursuit of the imperial prisoners on the fugitive, and the investigation of the spirit wolf den. The guards of the Dongchang Factory and Qianniu Wei almost turned the whole gods to the sky, but there were no clues at all.
Zhang Lin also took people to many places, including those who were often visited by the imperial sect and those who were not often visited, as well as temples and temples where he felt it was possible that they were Tibetans. However, no discovery was made.
The task of creating dozens of crossbows has been put on the agenda, but because dozens of crossbows require huge amounts of materials, each material used needs to be purchased in different places, and not everything will be ready immediately.
Therefore, while investigating cases and finding people, Zhang Lin used his spare time to practice martial arts and improve his shooting accuracy.
Since he mastered the Five Elements of Tai Chi, he has been practicing for an hour every day, even if he is busy, he will do this without interruption.
After practicing, he practiced shooting crossbows and sleeve arrows again. He felt that his shooting accuracy must be further improved. At that time, in Gefu, when dealing with an assassin with an axe, he used up all ten arrows in the crossbows, and such things were not allowed to happen again.
If another assassin comes, if no one is around him to protect him, what should he do?
He felt that when dealing with any expert, it was necessary to use three arrows to solve the problem, so as to ensure victory and safety!
In Li's Mansion, he encountered the attack of three spirit wolf killers, and he rushed to fire nine arrows in a row to reverse the dangerous situation.
He also felt that he should greatly improve his reaction speed and that the heart can respond to emergencies by sending and receiving the heart. This is not something that can be done by just thinking about it, but requires repeated practice thousands of times, without any shortcuts.
As he practiced continuously, the accuracy of the crossbow and sleeve arrow shooting improved.

Dali Temple Heavenly Prison.
Fei Tianbiao sat up early, washed his face with clean water, cleared his mouth, then combed his messy hair with a comb, and sorted out his wrinkled clothes.
Today is the day when he was executed.
He was not afraid of death. On the contrary, he wanted to die earlier, so that he could end it.
However, he was about to die, and he could not be as lazy and dirty as usual. He had to be a little tidy and be a clean and refreshing ghost.
After sorting it out, he looked clean and handsome. However, the crisscrossing scars engraved on his face became more conspicuous, giving him a ferocious and cruel atmosphere.
At this time, the Dali Temple Zhengqing Lai Junchen came to the Yuezi cell with joy and said with a smile:
"Fei Tianbiao, I specially conveyed you a good news. You don't have to go to the court today. Your execution has been delayed until the autumn."
"Why?" Fei Tianbiao asked with a frown. He did not cry out for joy because he didn't have to go to the execution ground. On the contrary, a disappointed expression appeared on his face, because he was ready for everything and said that he would not go to the trial ground, which was beyond his expectations.
"I heard that the King of Wei asked the Emperor for love for you, so he received such solemn grace from the Emperor!" Lai Junchen placed Zhang Lin's merit on Wu Chengsi's head, his face did not blush and his heart did not beat.
Fei Tianbiao was not unfamiliar with the name of King Wei, but after hearing this result, he was stunned. His eyes showed a confused look: "I don't know King Wei, why did he plead for me?"
"The King of Wei admires you as a man!" Lai Junchen smiled all over his face and said to King of Wei in front of Fei Tianbiao, "He heard that Gang Liehou wanted to kill you, so he was upset for you and helped you."
"The King of Wei and Marquis Ganglie?" Fei Tianbiao was so smart that he could understand at a glance. His face was very calm, and he was not grateful and tears of gratitude because he heard that the King of Wei had asked for grace for him.
"Yes. Marquis Ganglie relies on the emperor's kindness and did not take the King of Wei seriously. He opposed the King of Wei many times. He didn't think about it," said Lai Junchen, who raised his voice and strengthened his tone, "The King of Wei is the emperor's nephew and the future crown prince. What are the benefits of fighting against the King of Wei?"
"I don't want to get involved in the grudges between them." Fei Tianbiao shook his head.
"The King of Wei is a person with extremely noble morality, not the kind of villain who expects to return if he helps others. He helps you out of righteous indignation and doesn't want you to do anything." Lai Junchen smiled, intending to relieve Fei Tianbiao's concerns.
"Oh, why bother with King Wei? Isn't this torture me if I'm going to be in prison for a few more months?" Fei Tianbiao sighed, a little dissatisfied, and even complained.
Lai Junchen was speechless. If someone had changed, he would have heard that he would not have to be executed immediately, so he would have been too late to be happy. What else would he complain about? Feitian Biao was really different from ordinary people, and the King of Wei's scheming would probably be in vain.
