The defeat in the battle of Yutai County had a great impact on the morale of the Zhenwu Army, which had been advancing vigorously. However, during the period of rest, they could no longer interfere with Xuantu and Lelang Mansion in a short period of time, so they could only acquiesce. These two mansions fell into Ye Mingsheng's clutches.
Ye Mingsheng's territory has more than doubled in a short period of time, so he also needs to digest these territories, as well as the manpower and material resources provided by the Cui family. Therefore, it is impossible for a while to continue and attack Dongning Mansion eastward.
Under such circumstances, the situation in Liaoyang turned out to be a stalemate. The two sides were at war with each other, but neither of them acted rashly. They both spat at each other from afar, scolding each other bloody. ·············
Late night on June 21st
The General Soldier of Shoucheng went to his camp. Ye Mingsheng, who had just finished exercising with Pei Zhixiu late at night, was exhausted and very sleepy. When Ye Mingsheng was lying on the bed and fell asleep, Pei Zhixiu, who was nestled in his arms, seemed to have discovered something. A strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes. She quietly dressed herself and put on a pair of pants for Ye Mingsheng.
"boom!"
After a while, the vase in the room suddenly fell to the ground and made a crisp sound. The sound suddenly woke up Ye Mingsheng from his sleep. The confused Ye Mingsheng subconsciously shouted with dissatisfaction:
"What happened?"
As soon as these words came out, the guard guard outside the house was about to report, but unexpectedly, five assassins suddenly and silently killed him.
These five assassins are all dressed in black, with only their eyes exposed. They hold Japanese swords with strange kung fu, and their moves are ruthless. They are all aimed at killing your vital points. At first glance, they look like a group of people who specialize in harvesting human lives. Evil ghost!
The most hateful thing is these five assassins. The blades of their Japanese swords flash with a strange green color, which is obviously tempered with blood-sealing poison...
Being attacked by this moment, Ye Mingsheng's soldiers were caught off guard. Of course, seven or eight of them died. However, Ye Mingsheng really cherished his life. Even at night, the guards around him arranged for three people to attack him. As many as ten people.
After the initial panic, the soldiers who had the numerical advantage immediately sent out a signal for help and organized a defense on the spot to stop the unknown assassins from outside the house.
"Protect your lord!"
"Here comes help!"
"Kill these bastards to death!"
·············
·············
These soldiers were all very loyal to Ye Mingsheng. Although they were no match for this group of assassins who suddenly showed up with high martial arts skills, they all rushed forward without any hesitation and without fear of death. , trying to use his young life to buy even a tiny bit of time for the reinforcements to arrive.
The shouts of death outside the house immediately made Ye Mingsheng aware of his situation. With the help of Pei Zhixiu, he dressed in a hurry, then took out his saber and looked at the door with fierce eyes.
The most taboo thing at this time is running around. No one knows how many waves there are at this moment and where is the safe place in the camp.
Perhaps these assassins just wanted to use bluff to trick Ye Mingsheng out of the bedroom, and then take the opportunity to assassinate him.
Ye Mingsheng's headquarters is a large three-entry mansion, with more than 200 soldiers stationed there. From the moment the soldiers guarding outside the bedroom send a signal for help, it will take half a cup of tea at the latest , Ye Dong and the others can come over with reinforcements, so judging from the current situation, sticking to the bedroom is a relatively reliable choice...
At this time, the assassins who were close to Ye Mingsheng outside the house also became impatient. Although the guards in front of them were beaten back by them, and some people fell in a pool of blood every second, but the loyal soldiers , still not flinching!
These young lads shouted the slogan "Protect Your Majesty" as if they had been beaten to death, fighting for their lives with these despicable assassins.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers who got the news quickly rushed towards the bedroom. Seeing that their mission was about to fail, and they were about to die from random swords, one of the five assassins immediately stood up out
'Takahashi-kun, we will meet again in the arms of Amaterasu! '
The assassin who spoke after the words fell, regardless of life and death, rushed towards the soldiers in an almost suicidal manner, trying to use his own body to win a way for those who followed to rush into the bedroom.
"Please, Takahashi-kun!"
With this person taking the lead, the other three assassins also looked at each other and made the same choice as the first assassin. They also rushed forward to face the swords in the hands of the soldiers.
The battle was very fierce for a while, and the four sacrificial assassins were immediately stabbed with several holes by the soldiers. But even so, they still held on to the guards and prevented them from leaving... ·········
The sacrifices of his companions made Takahashi Kazuki burst into tears and filled with grief and anger. However, at this time, Takahashi Kazuki couldn't care less about the grief and anger in his heart, and just ran towards the door. They chopped down the damn big thing as soon as possible. Zhou Zongbing's head is to complete the tasks assigned above and not make the sacrifice of his companions meaningless.
Under the almost desperate eyes of the soldiers, Kazuki Takahashi, who was holding a blood-stained samurai sword and looking fiercely, kicked open the bedroom door. Ye Mingsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed towards him with a long sword in hand.
He, Mr. Ye, will never hide in a corner and tremble like a weak chicken, sitting there waiting to be killed in a desperate situation. Even if he dies, Mr. Ye, he will die on the road to charge!
Seeing Ye Mingsheng facing the knife, Takahashi Kazuki flashed a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. However, just when he was about to dodge sideways, and then took advantage of the situation to cut Ye Mingsheng's throat, he was very shocked to see a person behind Ye Mingsheng. With her graceful back, before Kazuki Takahashi could even wonder why she appeared here,
Kazuki Takahashi suddenly felt a stinging pain on his neck, as if something had entered his body. Before Kazuki Takahashi could react, he could feel his physical strength increasing rapidly. As time went by, the body became extremely numb.
The next second he planned to dodge, he couldn't do it at all. He could only watch Ye Mingsheng's knife slash at his head...
"boom!"
One slash and the head falls to the ground!
Looking at the ferocious human head at his feet, Ye Mingsheng, who was sprayed with blood, was also a little stunned. He looked at the knife in his hand, and a thought subconsciously came to his mind, when did he become so powerful?
Just when Ye Mingsheng was very surprised, Ye Dong and others finally arrived. It must be said that the remaining four assassins who were entangled with the guards were all ruthless people. Seeing this attack on Ye Mingsheng The assassination attempt had failed, and without exception, they all bit their fangs and committed suicide.
Looking at the corpses on the ground and Ye Mingsheng covered in blood, Ye Dong immediately came forward to check on Ye Mingsheng's condition. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was fine, Ye Dong breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down before Ye Mingsheng. Ming Sheng said with shame at his feet:
"It is my humble duty to come to my rescue late, please punish me!"
At this time, Ye Mingsheng, who had just walked away from the hell gate, was still a little shocked. At this time, Pei Zhixiu came over, picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood on Ye Mingsheng's face, and under Pei Zhixiu's service Xia Ye Mingsheng slowly regained his composure.
Ignoring Ye Dong who was kneeling on the ground, Ye Mingsheng walked to the dead soldiers outside the house. Because of the poison on the assassin's swords, none of the thirty guards at first survived after being stabbed. .
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Mingsheng closed the eyes of the thirty people one by one, and finally bowed deeply...
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's actions, Ye Dong was even more ashamed and angry. As the captain of Ye Mingsheng's personal soldiers and the head of defense of the general army camp, when the assassination operation appeared in front of Ye Mingsheng, it was already his dereliction of duty!
"Send an order to triple the pension, bury these brothers generously, and take care of their affairs after death. Don't let the brothers feel cold!"
After speaking, Ye Mingsheng paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Ye Dong is suspended from duty! Ye Kui will take over the personal guard!"
After saying this, Ye Mingsheng turned around and returned to the bedroom. He needed to digest everything that happened now and think about a reasonable response.
Three hours later, the sky was dim and bright. All the generals of the Fengzhou Army in Shoucheng appeared outside the headquarters and asked to see Ye Mingsheng. They all got the news of Ye Mingsheng's assassination and wanted to come over to see how Ye Mingsheng was doing. .
Outside the camp, a group of civil and military officials represented by He Jingyun and Gu Sansi were all waiting with serious expressions. Everyone understood that despite the fact that the Fengzhou Army was becoming more powerful and occupying more and more territories, Ye Mingsheng remained the same. It's the fault of the Fengzhou Army. If something goes wrong with Ye Mingsheng, the Fengzhou Army will immediately fall into chaos and fall apart...
Everyone waited for about a stick of incense. Just when everyone was getting impatient, the door of the general camp slowly opened. Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Mingsheng, who looked calm, slowly walked out of the door. Came in front of everyone.
Ye Mingsheng didn't understand what the dozens of people in front of him were thinking. Before they could ask, he took the initiative and said:
"I'm fine, don't worry!"
Ye Mingsheng understands that the human heart cannot withstand testing, so he will not do anything to test the loyalty of his subordinates by being stabbed. If he does that, it will be easy for him to get away with it if he is not careful. He also said It may cause a domino effect and make the situation get out of hand!
Therefore, standing up as soon as possible and stabilizing people's hearts is the right way!
Seeing the lively and healthy Ye Mingsheng in front of them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said in a hurry:
"General Soldier, you are blessed with great fortune. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later!"
"Your Excellency is in good health, which is the greatest good news for our Fengzhou Army!"
"I'm just telling you that your Excellency must be fine. Those thieves who dare to attack should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
·············
·············
Amidst everyone's compliments and congratulations, Ye Mingsheng slightly bowed his hands to everyone, and asked everyone to return to their positions. Only He Jingyun, Gu Sansi, and Cui Dakai were brought into his headquarters.
The first person Ye Mingsheng came to was Cui Dakai, and he said straight to the point:
"Although there is an assassination attempt, there is nothing wrong with me. Please tell my third uncle immediately that there is no need to panic and just follow the plan!"
The reason why Ye Mingsheng specifically reiterated this matter to Cui Dakai was because he understood that the news of his assassination last night must have been sent out by Cui Dakai flying pigeons, and also because of the importance of the Cui family in his side, Ye Mingsheng felt that he had to express his clear attitude to Cui Dakai so as to avoid any doubts in the Cui family.
"I understand, I'm going to pass the news back!" Feeling the meaning of Ye Mingsheng's words, Cui Dakai immediately took the order and left. He was Cui Shao who stayed with Ye Mingsheng and was responsible for the relationship between the Fengzhou Army and the Cui family. liaison, this is his responsibility.
After Cui Dakai was arranged, just as Ye Mingsheng was preparing to discuss the issue with his two important officials, He Jingyun and Gu Sansi, Ye Kui, who had just taken over the personal guard, suddenly came to report to Huo San, the director of the unified coordination department, asking for an audience.
Due to the needs of the war, Huo San has not been following Ye Mingsheng recently, but has been coordinating intelligence in Xuantu Fucheng. However, after learning the news of Ye Mingsheng's assassination, he rushed back from Fucheng overnight.
Hearing Huo San's name, a flash of anger flashed in Ye Mingsheng's eyes. If Ye Dong, the captain of the personal soldiers, was the first person responsible for the assassination, he had people rushing in front of him.
Then Huo San is undoubtedly the second person responsible. When Pei Zhixiu suddenly told him that she wanted to accompany him on the expedition, Ye Mingsheng realized that the Black Dragon Society might want to mess with him, so he repeatedly reminded Huo San to pay attention to the Black Dragon Society. Trends···········
In the end, Huo San still found nothing and allowed the assassin to almost kill him in a public manner. This was an absolute dereliction of duty!
"Tell Huo San that I don't want to see him, and give me an explanation within three days. If you can't come up with it, we won't have to see each other again in this life!"
Ye Mingsheng said with cold eyes, maybe he was too tolerant of Huo San, which made him feel no sense of crisis.
So now is the time to put some pressure on Huo San. If he messes up now, it means that the Coordination Office needs a new director!
Huo San, who was standing uneasy outside the office, felt his heart sink after receiving Ye Mingsheng's order.
If some previous mistakes only caused him to suffer a crisis of trust in Ye Mingsheng, then now it is his life and death crisis.
In three days, either the enemy will die, or he, Huo San, will die!
Thinking of this, Huo San couldn't help but grit his teeth. At this point, he had no other way to go. He had to risk his life to come up with an answer that satisfied Ye Mingsheng!
