The brilliance of the distant flames reflected on the faces of several people, illuminating their faces in varying degrees of light and darkness. A confidant's eyes widened and he couldn't help but murmured: "We, we actually killed King Yan!" Wang Shanzi also felt a little unbelievable, feeling that this was just like a dream.

Suddenly, several people felt a strong wind blowing behind them. Before they could react, they only felt their eyes go dark, and they were put into big black cloth pockets. Several people were startled and subconsciously wanted to scream. They only felt a sharp pain on the back of their necks and then lost consciousness. Several strong masked men in black clothes picked up black cloth bags containing several people and left quickly.

The raging fire inevitably spread to the sleeping people around it. Gongs and shouts suddenly sounded loudly. Hundreds of people rushed out of their homes with brooms and buckets to put out the fire. However, when the people rushed to the hotel, they were stopped by the government officials who refused to put out the fire. The people were very surprised. They were worried that the fire would spread and burn their houses. They were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot. After a while, until almost the entire hotel was swallowed up by the fire, the police officers began to call on the people to put out the fire. The already anxious people rushed to put out the fire. However, by now the fire had become so huge that no one could get close, let alone put out the fire. Under this situation, the people, under the leadership of several leading organizations, rushed to demolish the houses close to the fire to prevent the fire from spreading. …

After struggling all night, the fire gradually extinguished. Fortunately, the fire only burned down the post house and did not affect other places. All the yamen officers led by one officer returned to the station, while another officer hurried back to the prefect's yamen. Seeing the officer on duty in the government office, he asked, "Where is your Excellency?" The officer pointed to the backyard and said, "It's in the backyard." The officer hurried into the backyard. However, after arriving at the backyard, no sign of the prefect was found. When asking the servants and servants in the backyard, no one knew the whereabouts of the prefect. The staff was extremely surprised and didn't know what to do for a while.

The sight turns to 'Turtle Valley'. This 'Shengui Valley' is located more than thirty miles northwest of Langzhou. It has steep mountains, lush bamboo trees, and a small stream winding out of the valley. There is only one entrance to the Valley of the Godly Turtles, and the entrance is also rugged with strange rocks and extremely dangerous. This 'Turtle Valley' is usually rarely visited by people, even hunters in the mountains rarely come here; but at this moment, there are bursts of fighting and roaring sounds coming from the depths of the 'Turtle Valley', which is very thrilling!

It turned out that in the deepest part of the valley, a fierce battle was going on. Hundreds of men in black were attacking dozens of sergeants wearing armor and cloaks. Behind those sergeants was a wooden house built by hunters in the mountains for temporary rest during hunting. Very crude.

Those men in black were very tough, shouting and charging, rushing forward one after another; but the sergeants were even more brave, facing an enemy that was nearly ten times their size without any fear, and their swords flew across the sky, killing the corpses of the men in black until they were covered in blood. , the scene is really like a tiger fighting a pack of wolves. These sergeants were obviously not ordinary Yanyun sergeants. Their attire was clearly that of the secret guards around King Yan. The men in black attacked fiercely for a long time, but not only failed to break through the defense line of the secret guards, but suffered heavy casualties; the secret guards also suffered casualties of five or six people, and the others were covered in blood, and their armors were covered with knife marks!

On a hill not far from the battlefield, there were dozens of people standing. Dozens of people were surrounding one person. The person being surrounded was a handsome young man. He turned out to be Mo Hao, who had gone to Langzhou to meet Wang Shanzi before. sky. Everyone looked at the fierce battle at the bottom of the mountain and couldn't help but frown, with anxious and fearful expressions on their faces. The middle-aged man next to Mo Haotian couldn't help but said: "These Yanyun troops are so terrifying! They are like tigers! We ambushed them with ten times their strength, but they rushed out and escaped here. Then we fought for two days and two nights, killing and wounding countless people, but we couldn't defeat them. These Yanyun troops seemed to be invincible! 'Yanyun is so sharp and invincible!', this is really a well-deserved reputation!"

Another middle-aged man said to Mo Haotian: "Sir, since Yang Peng is dead, why do we still bother to attack?" He asked the question in everyone's mind.

Mo Haotian looked at the wooden house at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Just because Yang Peng is dead, those two women are needed even more!" Everyone was very confused. Mo Haotian smiled and said: "Although these two women have not been officially canonized by Yang Peng, everyone knows that they are Yang Peng's women, and that is Princess Yan! Hold these two women in your hands, and you can This is a reason to call on the Yanyun soldiers from Sichuan and northwest, this is called holding the emperor in arms to command the princes!" Everyone suddenly realized and worshiped in admiration: "Young Master is wise!"

Mo Haotian's attention returned to the battlefield. When he saw the secret guards killing his own killers like crazy tigers, he couldn't help but frowned and murmured: "It's really difficult to deal with!" Then he noticed the battlefield. The battlefield can be bypassed on the right side. His eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said to a middle-aged man next to him: "Uncle Zhao, you lead fifty people to pass from the right side and attack the wooden house directly!" Only then did everyone realize that they could bypass the right side. , couldn't help but show excitement, the middle-aged man clasped his fists in agreement and ran down. At this time, there were a hundred masked men in black guarding the foot of the mountain, and the middle-aged man took half of them with him.

The middle-aged man led fifty men in black around the right side of the battlefield and went straight to the wooden house. The secret guards who were fighting fiercely with the enemy in the front were very anxious when they saw this scene. The secret guard captain immediately shouted to the deputy captain who was fighting the enemy: "Shitou, please take people back to protect the two ladies!" The deputy captain! He chopped down an assassin with one knife, nodded to the captain, and immediately ran back with four secret guards.

Five people intercepted the middle-aged man and the fifty killers he led, and fought fiercely. The secret guards roared like lions and tigers, waving their swords desperately, killing the enemy's flesh and blood; the enemy's swords kept falling on them, but they seemed not to feel it, like crazy tigers, slashing and killing. A killer slashed the left shoulder of a secret guard with a sword. There was a clang sound. The long knife failed to cut through the secret guard's armor. The secret guard then kicked the killer in the stomach, knocking him upside down. He walked out and fell to his knees, unable to get up for a while! The secret guard rushed forward in three steps at a time, roared angrily, and swept out the sword with a whistling sound, and chopped off the head that showed extreme fear! The two killers around him originally wanted to attack him, but seeing how brave he was, they couldn't help but feel frightened, and they couldn't help but stop!

However, there are too many enemies after all, and the tigers can't hold off the wolves. Finally, one of the five secret guards was killed in a bloody battle, and the situation became even more dangerous! Then two more secret guards died in the battle. The remaining two secret guards were surrounded by the killers. The killers' long knives kept falling on them, and each blow left a deep mark on their armor. Traces; two secret guards were fighting with their lives. They only attacked the enemy and did not defend at all. They cut down an enemy without a single cut on their bodies. Their roars were like tigers and their swords were shining with blood. Their bravery and fierceness attracted the hearts of all killers. fear.

After another moment of fierce fighting, the two killers rushed towards a secret guard. The secret guard wielded his sword with both hands and tried his best to chop down the enemy on the left. However, after the fierce battle, his body was so bruised and numb that he was unable to regain his strength to deal with another killer. Soon enough, the killer screamed and rushed towards him with his knife. With a click, the long knife pierced the secret guard's abdomen! The secret guard grunted, summoned up his remaining power, roared angrily, and slashed at the killer's neck with his sword with both hands. With a click, the killer's head flew up. The secret guard shook and fell.

When the killers saw that there was only one opponent left, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all howled and attacked fiercely. Vice-captain Shitou fought with all his strength. The enemy's blood and his own blood were flying all over the sky. His body was staggering. He was obviously at the end of his strength. However, if the killers wanted to kill him, it would not be easy. , not to mention that this tiger is not dead yet.

The door of the wooden house that was originally closed suddenly opened, and the two women ran out surrounded by the maids and servants. The masked woman in white shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The attacking killers stopped involuntarily. The secret guards, covered in blood and bruises, quickly retreated to protect Luo Yanran and An Qian. Heavy gasps came one after another, but the figure of each secret guard was still as high as a mountain. His own blood and the enemy's blood were dripping from the horizontal sword, dripping from the lower edge of the armor, dripping from the cheeks, under the thick blood color It’s a gaze that is as firm as a rock!

At this time, Mo Haotian rode out from the crowd. After taking a look at Luo Yanran and An Qian, I couldn't help but admire in my heart. An Qian was so beautiful and charming, and although Luo Yanran was wearing a gauze, her true appearance was not visible, but her figure was extremely beautiful, and she exuded an air of beauty. This otherworldly temperament makes people feel relaxed and fascinated.

An Qian looked at Mo Haotian and said angrily: "You are so brave, you actually dare to attack us!" Mo Haotian smiled and said: "Although I am not brave, I am not small either! You two ladies should follow me obediently. Well, why do we have to kill so many lives!"

The captain of the secret guard shouted: "Bold maniac, as long as we are here, you will never succeed!" Mo Haotian ignored him and said to the two women: "I have the intention to spare the lives of your men, but you If you don't accept my kindness, I will have no choice but to kill them! In fact, it is meaningless for you to resist. You may not know that King Yan died last night!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their expressions, and the two women shouted in unison: "You are talking nonsense!" Mo Haotian laughed and said: "This is absolutely true! Even if you don't believe it, it can't change this fact!" Shitou! He said angrily: "Who do you think you are? You can kill King Yan even if you don't urinate and take pictures!" The captain turned to the two women and said: "You two ladies, don't be fooled by him. Hundreds of people from the Liao Kingdom were Tens of thousands of troops can't do anything to King Yan, let alone them! It's impossible for them to kill King Yan. He said this deliberately to force us to surrender!" The two women felt that what the captain said made sense.

Mo Haotian said: "Under normal circumstances, we can't kill that beast! But this time it's different. He came to find the two ladies and stayed at the hotel in Langzhou. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't guess that Langzhou The prefect has colluded with me for a long time. Last night, while King Yan and his party were resting in the hotel, we set a fire, but none of them escaped, and they were all turned into ashes! "

After listening to Mo Haotian's narration, everyone couldn't help but look pale. Luo Yanran was on the verge of falling, and she would have fallen down if not for Yun'er's support. Although everyone was unwilling to believe Mo Haotian's words, they heard that what he said was logical and couldn't help but feel that what he said might be true. For a moment, everyone became frightened.

Mo Haotian said: "Since Yang Peng is dead, Yanyun will be in chaos. The identities of these two ladies are extraordinary. We can take this opportunity to rise up and rally the forces of Sichuan and Northwest China to fight for the world!" Then he cupped his fists and said: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to help these two ladies!"

An Qian looked at Luo Yanran and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what should we do?" Luo Yanran whispered: "I don't know if the eldest brother has really... We need to figure this out first." An Qian She nodded and said in a low voice: "Little sister, follow my sister's lead!" Luo Yanran nodded, turned to look at Mo Haotian, and said loudly: "We can agree to your conditions..." The secret guards listened. These words shocked everyone, and the two captains shouted urgently: "No! Our Yanyun Army would rather die than surrender!" Luo Yanran said in a pleading tone: "Please believe me, two generals!" The two of them said Looking at each other, they felt that the life and death of King Yan was now unknown. The relationship between the two women in front of them and King Yan was unusual, so they had no choice but to obey their orders for the time being. The two captains, the captain and the deputy, had a clear understanding of each other and made up their minds to temporarily obey their orders. If the two of them dared to do anything to disgrace King Yan, they would kill them and then commit suicide to thank King Yan.

The two captains, the captain and the deputy captain, stopped talking, which was regarded as acquiescence. Luo Yanran raised her voice to Mo Haotian and said, "We promise to cooperate with you, but first we have to go to Langzhou to collect the body of our eldest brother!" When she said this, Luo Yanran only felt great pain in her heart, and at the same time she kept praying in her heart, praying to Yang Peng is safe and sound.

Mo Haotian also had this intention. Yan Yun was about to be in chaos. If he had Yang Peng's bones in his hands, it would be a very advantageous condition. Mo Haotian nodded. When Luo Yanran saw that Mo Haotian agreed to her request, her heart sank to the bottom of her heart, because he agreed to take her to Langzhou without hesitation, which meant that everything he just said was probably true! Luo Yanran felt that she was about to faint, but she held Yun'er's hand and supported her strongly. At this moment, she made a decision in her heart: "After burying my eldest brother, I will go down and accompany him." Yun'er felt that something was wrong with her young lady. She knew why and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say and sobbed uncontrollably.

Mo Haotian waved his hand, and the killers surrounded everyone. Mo Haotian cupped his fists and said, "Miss, please!" Everyone walked out of the valley, while Mo Haotian led the killers around. Mo Haotian was riding on horseback, looking at the graceful backs of the two women, and couldn't help but move his index fingers, thinking to himself: Since she has fallen into my hands, I will take possession of them tonight, so that I can have a better relationship. Control them to work for me! However, this matter must be kept secret. Once outsiders find out, these two trump cards will be useless!

Luo Yanran was walking with the support of Yun'er. Yun'er suddenly felt a drop of hot water dripping on the back of her hand. She was startled and knew that it was the young lady who was crying. I felt the tears keep falling on the back of my hands, I couldn't help but feel sad, and I couldn't help crying. An Qian was walking with the support of Nuan'er. There was also a sad look on her face, but more of it was a look of contemplation, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Along the way, men in black continued to come down from the mountains on both sides of the valley to join the group. These men in black had been placed along the valley in advance by Mo Haotian as a precaution.

call out! The sharp sound of an arrow suddenly came from the direction of the valley exit in front. Mo Haotian couldn't help but express surprise when he heard this voice. A middle-aged man next to him frowned and said, "This is a warning signal! What's going on?" Others were also confused. Someone asked: "Is it the one in front? Did they make a mistake?" Someone else said: "You don't think they regard us as enemies, do you?"

At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from ahead. Mo Haotian was startled, pulled out his sword, and shouted: "No!" As if in response to his words, more than a hundred knights suddenly rushed out from the corner in front, like dragons, horses, and tigers, roaring with great momentum. amazing! Everyone below Mo Haotian suddenly saw such a scene, and all changed their colors; but Luo Yanran and others shouted in surprise: "It's the eldest brother (King Yan)! It's the eldest brother (King Yan)!" It turned out that the man who led more than a hundred people The knight who suddenly appeared here was none other than Yang Peng.

At a glance, Yang Peng saw Luo Yanran and An Qian surrounded by people in black, and his eyes lit up. Immediately put the horse on the ring and hold it, took off the Chuanyun Bow, pulled out the carved feather arrow, and bent the bow to set the arrow.

Mo Haotian reacted first and shouted urgently: "Hurry and grab those two women!" Immediately, several men in black rushed over. At this moment, there were several sharp piercing sounds in the air, and the men in black who rushed towards Luo Yanran and An Qian fell down immediately. It turned out that it was Yang Peng who shot the arrows from the cloud-piercing bow. The man in black approached the two women. The captain and deputy captain responsible for guarding the two women shouted in unison: "Protect Miss!" Then more than twenty hidden killers formed a ring to protect the two women in the middle.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred ferocious war horses slammed into the middle of the men in black. A huge impact sound was heard in an instant. The men in black fell down like pins hit by a bowling ball, their bones and flesh shattered, and they were miserable. The cries kept coming and going. How could all the killers withstand such a powerful impact? They were knocked to pieces in an instant. All the warriors defeated the men in black in one fell swoop, and then pursued them. The killers in black panicked and fled with all their might. They were chopped down to the ground by the Yanyun warriors who caught up with them. Their blood was flying, and the creek in the valley was instantly flooded. It was dyed blood red.

Yang Peng turned the horse's head, ran back to the two women, turned over and dismounted, and asked urgently: "Are you okay?" The two women cried with joy, desperately rushed into Yang Peng's arms, and cried on his shoulder. stand up.

Yang Peng was filled with guilt, and he hugged the two women's waists and comforted them: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's okay!" After a while, the two women finally calmed down. An Qian looked at Chen Xiao with tearful eyes, while Luo Yanran sobbed softly, complaining and fearing: "I thought, I thought you were killed, I, I, you..." At this point , I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart, I raised my hand to hold it down.

When Yang Peng saw this, he felt extremely distressed. He quickly hugged Luo Yanran and comforted her softly. Luo Yanran was extremely embarrassed when she saw her eldest brother hugging her in public. She gently pushed him away and said angrily, "There are a lot of people here!" Yang Peng laughed and asked, "The thing about me is to listen to these killers." You said that?" The two women nodded, and An Qian said angrily: "That person is so disgusting, he actually used this to deceive us!" Luo Yanran nodded with deep understanding, and then asked in confusion: "That person It doesn't sound like a lie! But brother, not only are you safe and sound, but you also brought people to rescue us. What on earth is going on!" An Qian was also very puzzled.

Yang Peng asked: "Is the person you are talking about Mo Haotian?" The two women nodded, and An Qian said: "He said so himself!" Yang Peng nodded and said: "Actually, Mo Haotian is I'm not lying to you, but he didn't know that when Wang Shanzi's people set the fire, we were no longer in the post house!" Luo Yanran's heart moved, "I understand, brother must have discovered their conspiracy long ago?"

Yang Peng smiled slightly, gave her an appreciative look, and nodded: "Yanran is right, I discovered their intention from the beginning. Hum, they definitely won't know. In fact, I discovered the problem as soon as I arrived in Langzhou As the magistrate of Langzhou, Wang Shanzi was so frightened when he saw me. He had obviously done something wrong. After leaving the magistrate's office, I sent people to secretly monitor the magistrate's office, and also sent people to the refugee camp to secretly Investigation. Soon after, I discovered that Wang Shanzi had an attempt to burn down the inn. After discovering this, I confirmed my previous judgment and concluded that this Wang Shanzi was most likely colluding with Mo Haotian and his gang. And your disappearance is most likely to have something to do with him."

"After I concluded this, I followed my plan and secretly evacuated the post house with my men after nightfall. Sure enough, at midnight, Wang Shanzi's people surrounded the post house and set fire to it. They thought that we were all burned to death in the post house. We were caught in the fire." After Yang Peng said this, he smiled and said to the two women: "So, Mo Haotian didn't lie to you, he really thought he burned us to death!" An Qian said with a smile: "Tiao Liang The clown actually wanted to plot against Big Brother, but he didn't expect to fall completely into Big Brother's trap!" Then his eyes showed a strange look, and he said with great admiration: "Big Brother is really bright in this world, and he can see thousands of miles!"

Yang Peng laughed loudly and said: "It's hard to see Wanli clearly, but the opponent is indeed not a powerful person. He exposed so many flaws and he didn't even know about it." An Qian pursed her lips and smiled, and Luo Yanran sighed. He said: "It's not that they are too bad, it's that Big Brother is so awesome! How many people in the world can do tricks in front of Big Brother today!" Yang Peng was so impressed that he laughed.

What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
