A trace of tears suddenly flashed in Murong Lan's eyes. She looked at Liu Yu motionlessly: "Will you really never abandon me at any time? Liu Yu, do you really regard me as one of your own?" enemy?"
Liu Yu nodded seriously: "Yes, in my eyes, you are just like Ah Shou, Tieniu, and Fatty. You are my Liu Jinu's brother, a brother who will never abandon or give up, no matter how big our country is." No matter what happens to you and the Yan Kingdom in the future, it will not change the fact that we are brothers now, Murong Lan, I will not abandon you."
Murong Lan shed a tear in her eyes. This time, Liu Yu could see it clearly. She quickly turned her head to one side and looked at the main hall below to cover up her tears. , and her voice came softly: "Thank you."
Before Murong Lan finished speaking, dozens of night walkers in black costumes suddenly appeared in the direction of the main hall door like ghosts. They all held steel knives in their hands, but the blade had already been Painted with black paint, these steel knives that were supposed to be gleaming with cold light and full of murderous aura were not even remotely glowing at all. It looked like they had been carefully prepared for night battles.
Liu Yu's expression changed, and he sighed secretly. He didn't know when Murong Lan was able to order the ambush killer to rush in. He had been staring at this woman just now, but he didn't even see the reason. It seemed that, When it comes to this kind of team assault and assassination, Murong Lan is really a first-rate master.
More than thirty shadow killers rushed in almost silently. When the first person's feet landed on the ground, suddenly, there was a slight sound from the corners of the palace in all directions, as thin as gnats. But Liu Yu, who was on the top of the hall, could hear it clearly, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "No, there is a crossbow!"
A sound of locusts flying through the air passed through His Highness's space. The Xianbei killers who had just rushed into the hall and had not had time to start their formation instantly fell down the four or five people in the front row. They didn't even have time to raise their hands. Weapons block, firstly, because the crossbows are coming too fast, and secondly, these crossbow arrows are different from those strong crossbows with shrill and terrifying roars on the battlefield. These crossbow arrows, even without tail fins, are pursuing the goal of short-term shooting. The maximum firing speed and penetrating power at a distance do not need to consider the accuracy at all. The killers who fell were all hit by more than ten crossbow arrows on the front of their chests, just like the barbs on a hedgehog, and they did not even have time to hum. With a groan, he fell to the ground and died.
The more than thirty killers who followed up had obviously seen such a scene before. The deaths of several companions in the first wave did not stop them at all. The killers who rushed in had more than ten people on their hands. Holding a short crossbow and a flying knife, there was a counterattack in the direction of the crossbow arrows. The sound of the machine spring firing was endless, but this time there were several screams, obviously those who were hiding in the dark to ambush the crossbow. The Qin Army's palace guards suffered casualties.
In the shadowed corners of the palace, there were numerous figures. Just now there was no sign of any living people, but now thirty or forty guards in soft armor rushed out. They only wore light and agile clothing. Wearing soft leather armor, there were almost no long weapons in their hands. They were all long swords and broadswords. Many people also held round shields in their hands to protect their whole bodies. They rushed forward and attacked. In an instant, they were fighting with more than thirty Xianbei killers. They formed a ball, swords saw shadows, blood flew, and the hall suddenly became brightly lit. The candlesticks that were dark just now suddenly lit up with blazing flames, and the sound of horns also sounded in the square outside: "There are assassins, there are assassins in Tai Chi Hall!"
Liu Yu frowned. From the roof, he could see that the Imperial Guards who were patrolling in all directions began to advance quickly towards here. In addition to the harem, there were more than ten teams that stood still and began to patrol in front of the concubines' bedrooms. As they began to garrison outside, almost half of the Qin Palace's sergeants, one or two thousand people in total, began to gather here. They would be killed in a quarter of an hour at most.
Murong Lan's eyes flashed coldly, and she raised her hand. Outside the door of the main hall, a dark figure flashed out from beside a pillar, pointed at the entrance, and blew three whistles, two short and one long. Liu Yu saw that with this After three noises, hundreds of people in palace guard uniforms rushed out from the surrounding halls. They mixed with the Qin troops who were gathering towards the square, and then suddenly drew their swords and started slashing and killing. The Qin troops who were mixed with them screamed one after another, and the Qin Palace suddenly became a river of blood.
Liu Yu was shocked: "How is this possible? Why do you have so many people ambushing here? How did you do this?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "How can such a big event as seizing the jade seal be arranged casually? In the past few days, or even for so many years, we have been planning to enter the palace to seize the seal or even assassinate Fu Jian. Liu Yu, you Do you know how many tunnels we dug and how much preparation we made for this day?"
Liu Yu sighed: "So it turns out that they came in from the tunnel. They put on the Qin army's armor early and suddenly launched here. Taking advantage of the chaos, they wiped out the Qin army squads on duty one by one. They were subdued!"
Murong Lan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I can tell you now, our goal today is not only this jade seal, but also Fu Jian. To seize the seal here, attract Qin troops from all walks of life to come for reinforcements, and then eliminate them on the way. Finally, we gathered our troops to attack Chunlai Hall, Fu Jian’s palace. Once we succeed, we will not only avenge the blood feud of Xianbei and Yan for many years, but we will also make the Qin State leaderless, and Chang’an will be destroyed without attacking it!”
Liu Yu nodded and said: "In that case, you are still using me this time, called Duoxi, but you are actually trying to take Fu Jian's life, right?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "That is my elder brother's plan. If I follow this plan, I should not be here now, but should be commanding the assassination of Fu Jian. Liu Yu, I have lied to you, harmed you, and hurt you before. You. So, this time, I don’t want to deceive you again. I said I would help you win the seal, and I will not break my promise. After you get the jade seal, you take the jade seal back to Dajin, and don’t interfere with the rest of the things here. , this is a national and family feud between our Dayan and Fu Jian’s Qin, you don’t have to intervene.”
Liu Yu looked into Murong Lan's eyes and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Murong, my brother, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time. I won't let you kill Fu Jian now. If you force him to If you do this, you would rather not have the jade seal, and I have to stop you. Because I also come with a mission, that is, before our Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin Dynasty invades Guanzhong and takes Chang'an, Fu Jian cannot die, and Qin cannot Death!"
