The next day, just before dawn.

Heavy fog was filling the Yujia Mountain area, and a group of soldiers were marching from the tunnel in Yujia Mountain.

The tunnel was very dark and damp, and could only accommodate two or three people walking abreast. In addition, the tunnel was dug almost from the Voodoo border to the west gate of Guanyuan Town, so the air became thinner as we went deeper.

And this is not the most serious problem. When they reached the middle of the tunnel, some Qiang desert soldiers suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some bubble-like packages hanging on the roof of the cave. And these things extend from the middle section of the road to another opening in Yongdi. The cave was so narrow that some soldiers couldn't help but look up at the thing above and asked, "What is this?"

The general leading the way only gave a warning: "Whatever it is, let's go quickly! The brothers behind are still waiting. We can only catch him off guard by entering the city while the night fog is still lingering."

After being warned by the general, most people put away their strong curiosity.

However, He Rong, who was caught in the crowd, was very alert and looked at the bubble packages one after another. At the same time, everyone could only hear popping sounds similar to spanking coming from the direction in front of them.

At first, when I heard the popping sound, someone said jokingly, "Which of you is farting? There is no air circulation in this hole. Please hold it in."

However, as the popping sound became louder and louder, everyone's expressions became more solemn.

Then He Rong suddenly stopped moving forward and said loudly, "Everyone, please retreat quickly."

However, his shout was a step too late. As his words fell, the lights that had been stationary in the entire cave in the morning were instantly extinguished like the wind blowing across the ground. .

At the same time, the bubble packages above his head were popped one after another like dominoes.

And as the sound exploded above their heads, within a moment, someone smelled a pungent stench.

Someone just shouted, "No! It's poison gas."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers walking in front fell softly to the ground.

Realizing that something was wrong, everyone wanted to turn around and escape from here. However, the entrance of the cave was only so big, and the lights in the cave were extinguished. In an instant, people's shouts, pushing and cursing took over everything. Chaos replaced order.

The people walking here were either trampled on, or fainted to the ground by the sufficient amount of poisonous gas.

Although nothing happened to He Rong at this time because he was protected by his own soldiers, the pervasive poisonous gas showed its ferocious fangs at him like a poisonous snake coming quietly.

He felt dizzy, and at the same time he could hear people trying to maintain order in the cave.

However, in the face of death, this order becomes a useless empty slogan.

He Rong had no intention of maintaining the order in front of him. He understood in an instant that the people on the opposite side were probably prepared and had intercepted his plan.

No matter how much he struggled in vain at this time, it was all in vain. He could only escape forward under the escort of his own soldiers, but if someone stood in front of him, he didn't even mind killing them with his own hand.

And with this kind of bad demonstration, it was like Pandora's box had been opened, and people fell into chaotic killing.

I don’t know how long I walked after that, and the crowd behind me gradually became smaller and smaller.

Even among the soldiers who protected He Rong, there were only one or two left. They covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves with one hand and turned in the same direction as they came.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they found that the entrance had been blocked with rocks at some point.

At the same time, the people who had arrived here earlier than them were struggling to push the boulder.

However, no matter how hard they tried, the boulder did not move at all.

And people gradually fainted under the attack of poisonous gas.

It was still before dawn, and in the west of Guanyuan Town, a group of soldiers were patrolling the city wall with torches.

Another non-commissioned officer was only looking at Yujia Mountain from above.

He seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

As the sound of horse hooves in the direction of Yujia Mountain gradually approached, the outline of galloping horses and men could be seen in the field of vision.

The noncommissioned officer who was watching only immediately gestured to the people around him.

Then the people around the sergeant immediately led a small group of soldiers and hurried down the tower.

At the same time, when passing by the small wooden house near the city gate, the man immediately changed his direction and knocked on the wooden door there.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, a child immediately opened the door to the inner room.

I saw that there were about ten local officials and security officers from Guanyuan Town sitting in this small room.

And among this group of people, there was a guard.

It was still cold outside, so they were just gathering around a charcoal pot to warm themselves up.

The visitor said, "Adults! They are here."

Upon hearing this, the group of people immediately showed a look of relief. However, Yu Shoubei, who was traveling with him, looked clearly uneasy. However, at this time, everyone else was paying attention to the visitors outside, and no one was there. Notice the panic on his face.

The Guanyuan Town official sitting in the middle looked at Yu Shoubei and said with a smile, "Yu Shoubei, why do you think those Qiang Desert barbarians insist on us gathering today?"

Hearing these words, Yu Shoubei finally came to his senses. He looked at the official with a flattering smile, and then whispered, "I don't know what they mean, but I think if you adults It’s always a good thing to meet them in person, and it will be more convenient to cooperate with them in the future.”

Listening to Yu Shoubei's words, the official in the middle just smiled and pointed at Yu Shoubei.

But they didn't say much, and only a moment later did they all stand up.

While others were walking out, Yu Shoubei was not in a hurry to leave.

He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he knew that what awaited this group of people would be catastrophe. If he followed them, he would inevitably be affected.

So he just pretended to be looking for something.

Finally, an official accompanying me looked at Yu Shou Bei and said, "Shou Bei, what are you looking for?"

"I lost my private seal just now. I'll look for it first. You can leave first. I'll come back after I find my seal."

After hearing what he said, no one else had any doubts.

After everyone else left, Yu Shoubei immediately slipped out of the cabin and headed into the city. However, when he reached a corner, he was intercepted by a man in black hiding in the corner of the eaves. The secret guard stopped him.

At the same time, the secret guard only whispered, "Why are you running?"

When Yu Shoubei saw that he had been arrested, his face turned pale. Then he pointed to the city gate tremblingly and said, "Everyone is there, I have lured them over, and now I have done everything that needs to be done." It’s time for you to let me go now, right?”

The black-clothed secret guard only said coldly, "Of course I will let you go. Our Highness always keeps his promises. But in order to prevent you from having a backup plan, we can only let you go after this war."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark guard in black slashed Yu Shoubei unconscious with a knife.

At the same time, the dozen or so officials in the west direction of the city arrived at the city gate under the leadership of that group of soldiers. They had barely waited for the visitors from Yujia Mountain to arrive before they immediately opened the Wengcheng gate and met them. The gate of the outer city.

Then they stood guard at the gate of the outer city to welcome the arrival of the visitors from Yujia Mountain.

The visitors to Yujia Mountain were not wearing battle armor. They were wearing black hooded cloaks. The hoods almost covered their faces. In addition, the sky was already dark at this time. Even though there were torches burning at the door, they could not be seen. It is very difficult to distinguish the other person's appearance clearly.

But the flags in front of those people should be unmistakable.

Therefore, the leader only smiled flatteringly and said in Qiangmo language, "My subordinates have been waiting here for a long time."

However, after hearing what the man said, the leader did not answer his question.

The man only felt strange, and from the looks in front of him, the people who came this time were only a few dozen people.

Although this is a sneak attack, Guanyuan Town is not a small place. Can these dozens of people occupy Guanyuan Town and kill the people in the Duwei Mansion?

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, although this is a sneak attack, you just brought these ten people here. Do you know how to use force?"

Not strong enough? "

However, just as he finished speaking, the inner gate of the Wengcheng suddenly closed with a bang.

At the same time, the leading cavalry suddenly said in Yongdi language, "It may not be enough to kill other people, but it is more than enough to kill traitors like you."

As soon as the words fell, those people immediately lifted their cloaks.

It was also at this time that the person who greeted them could clearly see that the people on horses in front of them all had a hollowed-out appearance.

At the same time, the leader immediately showed his scimitar and chopped off the head of the person who took the lead in greeting him.

At the same time, the only sounds from the top of the city wall were shouts of killing and the sounds of swords clashing.

Seeing that the leader was killed, the people who came to greet him immediately knew that they had been tricked. The officials behind them immediately shouted for escort and scurried around like headless flies.

However, the gate to the city has been closed, and it is too late for them to go back now.

Although the small group of soldiers wanted to resist these dozen people, the cavalry had a natural advantage over the infantry, not to mention that all of these people were very skilled.

When they faced these people, they were like wolves following a lamb, killing them in all directions.

Seeing this indiscriminate killing, which was like chopping melons and vegetables, some civil servants who had never experienced anything were so frightened that they immediately collapsed to the ground.

After some people realized that these people were not foreign Qiangmo people, they just wanted to use their identities to bully these dozens of people.

"Where are you soldiers! Do you know who we are!"

Hearing that man using his power to coerce others, the leader only sneered, "I don't need to know who you are! But ever since you colluded with foreigners! You are our traitors in Yongdi!"
