However, at the next moment, the soldiers who poured out from behind the tents had not completely surrounded the intruders; suddenly, ghostly figures in black armor appeared behind them; almost after a series of muffled hums and crisp sounds; He collapsed on the ground with almost no backhand strength.
Only one of the soldiers, a captain with a thick body and protruding muscles, whose neck was almost invisible, drew his sword and turned around like lightning. However, he cut a void and was slapped by a flying palm from above his head. On the facade; he couldn't even make a sound before falling over.
At this time, the generals and commanders in the tent who were watching this shocking incident with cold eyes started to stir up an uproar and pulled out their swords and sabers, blocking them in front of them. However, these mysterious soldiers covered in black armor did not even bother to pay attention to their reactions, and went straight to the officials to ask for instructions:
"Sir, all threats and variables inside and outside the account have been cleared." Hearing this, the handsome-bearded general who was still sitting upright had not yet taken the next action; the general who was on alert turned the corner of the curtain in the hall, but only saw a blazing campfire swaying.
However, the card officials, flag drummers and ceremonial guards who were supposed to be on duty near the official hall have all disappeared; only empty guard posts and wandering passages are left, extending into the darkness, with fire everywhere. The beeping sound of the burning cage, and the roar of the flag blown by the wind;
"..." At this time, the handsome man seemed to have recovered from the shock, and roared in an extremely angry voice: "Who are you? How dare you break into the army and act wantonly..." However, , but the leading senior official ignored him at all, turned to the others and said:
"According to the order of the Government Hall...to inspect the eight southeastern roads, and also to supervise the rivers and Caohe waterways; to supervise the censorship of the Dajiang and Caohe waterways; to arrest the ambassadors of monsters; to order the magistrate of Xijingli Xingyuan; to recruit the right guards of the guards stationed at Lulong Prefecture in Yanbei Road. Headquarters, rush to Xingyuan immediately to hear the effect; the security seal is here, and it will be checked quickly."
Immediately, among these vigilant and vigilant generals, a general wearing a backpack and mountain pattern armor walked out; he hesitated slightly and bowed his hands and said: "Privy Council Supervisory and Constitutional Affairs Department, select the third battalion of the right guard. The current constitutional prosecutor, Feng Lengqi, will hand over the verification in person in accordance with his duties."
And his first statement also caused several other generals to stand up one after another: "Cheng Fengsheng, the captain of the fifth right-guard battalion stationed in Youzhou." "Zeng Zhun, the captain of the eighth right-back battalion stationed in Youzhou." Chang Gongqing, deputy captain of the 15th Battalion and Chief of Staff of the Battalion." "Diploma with you as an inspector of inspections."
However, after a while, the generals who came forward to inspect and compare the troop deployment talismans and official documents quickly came to a conclusion, and respectfully returned the correspondence. They bowed their heads to the young officials and saluted again: " I am here, humble general, to honor Shang Xian's order; break camp immediately and rush to Xingyuan."
And when things have developed to this point, no one cares about the general who is still sitting at the top, but in fact, his inner energy has been drained out. With these generals taking orders again on the spot, the entire camp quickly woke up in the dark night.
However, in the market place not far from the military camp, in the corners, behind the houses and under the eaves that were obscured by shadows, there were graceful human figures lying on the ground. Most of the human figures were motionless, but some were still twitching and struggling slightly; obviously they had other missions and were staying near the camp.
However, the sudden attack from the darkness destroyed the resistance of most of them and even killed some individuals who overreacted. They were also given the task of intercepting and blocking all those who went to the camp to report news, or who were ordered to go out for inspection; this came to naught.
However, soon after, there was the sound of horse hooves, and along with the flickering lights, they sounded at the end of the street in the distance. However, the reinforcements who arrived as agreed upon arrived again in the city square, most of which had fallen into silence; then, they blew the bird whistle for communication.
The next moment, the noose suddenly flew out of the darkness on the street. With lightning speed, it suddenly dragged the group of people off their horses one after another; then they were thrown to the ground and bumped against the wall. It was dragging, rubbing, rolling and groaning all the way, hitting many bricks and tiles.
The moment he was completely submerged behind the wall and in the darkness of the alley, all sounds were completely lost. Only the last rider managed to escape most of the sneak attacks; he turned around and galloped away with fear, and suddenly jumped into the air the moment he crossed the archway at the street entrance.
Then, he struggled and kicked but couldn't use any force. Like an involuntary puppet, he broke away from his mount and galloped away. He was suspended in the air below the tall archway, and his body gradually relaxed and his limbs drooped. Come down; move no more. After a while, the body fell quietly.
Sword Girl Fangyi, who had retracted the spider silk rope in her hand, also quietly showed her cold and pretty face in the shadow of the archway; she looked down at the body that was caught by the figure running out of the street and then thrown into the wall with force; Then he nodded slightly to confirm, and then disappeared into the shadows again.
At the same time, on a drum tower near the north gate for watching the fire at night; two expert team members, holding special iron-arm bows and rotating crossbows, were taking turns watching the wind. Facing the faint flash of light that suddenly appeared in the city square, they couldn't help but mutter: "The right guard has been dispatched. I can return to the team later."
Soon after, groups of lanterns held high appeared on the unusually dark long street; and the swaying lights illuminated the soldiers with shining armor and swords and guns; like a long dragon rushing through the dark night; in the blink of an eye, They approached the Chongxuan Gate in the north of the city, which was under intense guard.
In the tall tower of Chongxuanmen, Linghu Xiaomu, who was dressed in official uniform, also looked at the palace gate general with a frosty face, who refused to let go; the other general was still shaking his head and said: "Forgive me, I can't. I obey the order, even if you use it to submit official documents, the rest will be directly under the palace envoy."
"Then what's the reason for the several waves of messengers and cavalry you sent out before!" However, Linghu Xiaomu sneered with wide-eyed eyes: But this palace general with gray beard and hair is extremely thick-skinned. He denied: "That's nonsense. How can you indulge in such responsibilities when you are under a lower body?"
"Qiu Ji..." At this time, Linghu Xiaomu seemed to have given up on fighting. He turned around and walked out of the door and suddenly shouted: In an instant, a tough belt came through the window; it was trapped The palace keeper's neck was pulled out of the window with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, he landed under the city wall, struggling to hang on the wall with a creaking sound. While holding on to the tightened blackmail, he wanted to reach out and draw a knife to cut it off; but then there were others one after another. A dozen corpses that were killed instantly fell past him into the darkness below the city;
At this moment, the dying palace gatekeeper also immediately recognized that these were his trusted subordinates present at the meeting; they were killed on the spot with their throats cut and beheaded easily. Then, he lost the last strength of support, and with a click, his neck was pulled away by his own heavy weight.
In the darkness below, as the gatekeepers and patrols fell to the ground, several expert team members strode into the doorway, and opened the door one after another with heavy lifting, and the two doors inside and outside the urn city that originally required dozens of people to operate were opened. The city gate is heavy; and the gate track is blocked with thick gate bars.
A moment later, the news that the third battalion of the Right Guards Army had entered the city was rushed to the palace; it was in the hands of Palace Chief Shi Li Lingwen who was gathering manpower to conduct a three-foot search. However, as time continued to delay, he was gradually losing control of the situation.
Therefore, at this time, the team joining the search and rescue team in Xingyuan, in addition to the subordinates of the Yanshan Palace, the ceremonial guards of the Andong Governor, and the guards of the Xingyuan garrison, there were also more unity soldiers from Lulong Mansion, The several military regiments of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were only temporarily arranged for him on the periphery.
Moreover, after the right guard army entered the city as the garrison guard, another force that was not in his plan, the Shenwu Army camp between Wei Zicheng and Yacheng, no longer had any reason to stop it from heading to Xingyuan. Let’s find out inside. But this is the good news he finally got.
Under the inner court of Dasuo Xingyuan, another survivor who fell on a tree was found. And compared to the previous injured who were incoherent, this survivor was not only slightly injured, but also remained quite conscious. A moment later, Wu Dingyuan, covered in blood, was brought in front of him.
"Did it turn out that the Wu army was patrolling from Ma Zhi? Did you know... Shaojun..." Li Lingwen also recognized him to some extent, and asked a little anxiously; but then he saw clearly the injuries on Wu Dingyuan's body, and his face suddenly changed. He changed his mind and said, "Get this officer for me and torture him on the spot."
Therefore, he saw the clues in an instant; Wu Junxun, who occasionally ran for the young master, did not suffer from an inexplicable attack, and his liver and brain were smashed to the ground or his muscles and bones were broken and bruised, but he was tortured. The whipping and lacerated wounds left behind after torture.
But this time, no matter how Wu Dingyuan pressed him, he insisted that he had done something wrong and was severely punished by Shaojun. Therefore, he was able to escape the attack by an unknown intruder; hiding in a tree was just a fear of intruders, a method of massacre.
Then, when describing the appearance of the attacker, he used the excuse that it was too far to see clearly; he only described a tall man with loose hair wearing a five-hole white mask and a dark green blouse; he could uproot trees with just a few gestures. Pushing the stone, no matter how strong the door defense is, it can't be treated as a blow.
But just as he was trying his best to deal with and delay for half an hour, he finally managed to deal with the impatient Li Lingwen, and was temporarily detained for bandaging and treatment. A palace guard who happened to be ordered to come from outside to deliver a message, However, she suddenly recognized him and said loudly with slight surprise:
"Isn't this the military patrol that received the guests for Young Master earlier? I didn't expect you to still be alive..."
The next moment, the gaze that fell on Wu Dingyuan was so intense that it seemed as if it could burn him to ashes in an instant.
