Chang'an City.
Midnight Yin hour.
The entire city of Chang'an City has been pressed on the pause button, and every household is in sleep. In order to prevent someone from causing trouble late at night, there will be many Jinwu Guards patrolling the roads at night.
And on Suzaku Street.
There is a restaurant called Wangfeng Restaurant. This restaurant is not very impressive, and it is a very casual restaurant for business.
but.
The entire Wangfeng Restaurant has been in existence for nearly ten years.
For more than ten years, Wangfeng Restaurant has been unable to make ends meet due to its casual approach to opening a restaurant. However, even so, it has been open for more than ten years.
Tonight.
Yin Shi.
Tonight's guest, Wangfeng Restaurant only has room No. 1, Tianzi. There is a guest staying, and it is only for one night.
at this time.
There was a maid in Wangfeng Restaurant, and she walked into Room No. 1 Tianzi.
Walking in quietly,
With a "creak", Room Tianzi No. 1 closed.
Inside.
The maid lowered her head and said half-kneeling: "Miss, the chief has come to tell us that the ugly cow in Chang'an City has died. We are in danger and it is time to go back."
"By the way, I have already taken back the head that the lady ordered."
"Speaking of this head, it took me a lot of effort. After all, he is a man of merit to General Tiance, and there are many Jinwu guards protecting him."
While speaking, the maid stretched out her hand, and there was a bloody human head in her hand. The blood kept dripping on the ground and her hands. Even the way she came was covered with blood.
This is the head of the common people who reported the location of the ugly cow to the government!
Although the Chu King's tribe emphasizes that those who come are family members and love each other without attacking, they are only for family members. They will show no mercy when dealing with foreign enemies, such as the guy who killed the ugly cow in front of him.
Regardless of whether he is a commoner or has any other status, if he makes a mistake, he is wrong, and he will die.
And this mistake was snitching.
now.
In front of the maid is a screen, with a candle burning on the other end of the screen, which illuminates the shadow of the woman in the bath much larger, completely covering the entire room.
This woman has a more prominent status.
In the mural of the Twelve Nighters, the person sitting second on the right side is charming even without facial expressions. Li Shimin’s reward amount gives the second highest Twelve Nights person, code name, Mao Rabbit!
"Oh? That guy Chou Niu is mysterious and secretive than anyone else. I thought he could hide secretly all his life."
"I didn't expect that he was stabbed by a little-known person. Who killed him."
Maotu sounded extremely surprised.
The maid raised her head, and now she could see her smiling mask.
"Yes, miss, maybe Mr. Chou Niu was smart but confused for a while. Anyway, he is over."
"As for the person who killed him, he was Li Dajun, the direct general of Li Shimin in Northern Xinjiang. Li Dajun also killed many of His Highness's people. This time he left Northern Xinjiang and came to Chang'an City because he was entrusted by Li Shimin to increase the chances of Xuanwumen's victory. Come."
"According to our dormant people, Northern Xinjiang needs Li Dajun to go back and take charge of things. He will return to Northern Xinjiang in the near future."
The words fell.
Hearing a splash, Maotu poured some water down to clean himself.
Immediately.
She said: "Hahaha, it's really interesting. A general would lower himself to kill little people like me. It's interesting, it's interesting."
"Haha, ugly cows are also interesting. Ugly cows, ugly cows, should I say that you are smart all the time, or should I say... your defense against the people around you is really too low."
The maid smiled and said: "Miss, the matter has come to an end. There is no point in talking anymore. We should follow the chief's order and return to Jiangdong. Once Chou Niu is dead, perhaps Admiral Tiance will find out about it in a few days at Wangfeng Restaurant."
"That's true."
Mao Tu's voice was full of joking: "On this matter, just follow the chief's order."
The maid lowered her head and said, "Yes, Miss."
Say it.
She was ready to quit and leave.
But he was stopped by Maotu.
"Wait, now... There is no need to go back and pack the clothes. I have changed my mind. Although Wangfeng Restaurant is in danger, the anger in my heart is more important and needs to be vented."
"Notify us and ask our people not to leave Chang'an City. I will take you to continue to stay in Chang'an City and look for opportunities to vent the endless fire in your heart."
The maid was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you... disobeying the chief's order?"
Maotu was full of banter again, and said: "Chang'an City, look how beautiful it is. I am not willing to leave. Come on, let's stay in Chang'an City and let some interesting things happen in this city. Let those The big shots know that His Highness's army will always be a nightmare in their minds."
"As for the chief... Giggle, I didn't hear his order tonight because you were stopped halfway, so you couldn't send the news. Did you know?"
The maid smiled and said: "Miss, I know this. I also have endless anger. If you don't go back, I believe that our people will be happy."
When Maotu heard this, he smiled, laughed, laughed loudly...
That silver bell-like laughter seemed to cover the entire Wangfeng Restaurant.
"Giggle, let's see if this show in Chang'an City led by us can make people applaud, or will we just follow that stupid ugly cow and die in this extremely beautiful and fascinating place?" In Chang'an City, cluck, cluck..."
The entire Tianzi Room No. 1 was constantly echoing with Mao Tu's unrestrained laughter.
She disobeyed the chief's order and did not want to obey the chief's order.
No one except His Highness, the master on the mountain that day, the king's left wing, could command her!
The second-in-command of the Twelve Nights is commanding this Maotu, who is also the orphan recruiter for the King of Chu's army!
….….….….….….
To the west of the Tang Dynasty, there is a desert.
It's full of wind and sand here, with flying sand everywhere.
And among them, there is an inn, Longmen Inn.
Specializing in serving fugitives from all over the country, as well as rats.
now.
There were no empty seats in the Longmen Inn.
There are tattooed fugitives everywhere, killers, and... rats wearing hats who dare not show their true colors.
They were eating separately, some tables were bustling with activity, and some tables were silent.
At the corner of the Longmen Inn, there were two men in black cloaks talking about something.
"Xue Wanche, the prince is dead, but my highness is not dead yet."
"The remnant party has no leader and cannot form an effective combat force. Although our King of Chu's army is going to the Turks, the king's left wing is about to come down and take charge of the overall situation!"
"Why don't you join our army of the King of Chu and work together for a great cause? In the future, we will overturn the Tang Dynasty and avenge your master."
One of the men wearing a black cloak said with enthusiasm.
Speaking of His Highness, his eyes were full of heat, and his cloak even fell off a bit.
And him!
In the mural of the Twelve Nights, he is sitting fourth on the right. Even if he cannot see his face, he can still see an extremely insignificant person, codenamed Zi Shu!
Xue Wanche narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "Zizhu, how could your Chu King's army think of a sign that I, Xue Wanche, would join the army? You know, my original master was Qi King Li Yuanji, and my master was killed by your Highness. !!”
"I will never forget that day. Your Highness, the King of Chu, shot my master in the head with an arrow. I will never forget it. I will never forget it..."
At the end of Xue Wanche's words, his whole body was trembling slightly.
Zishu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "My Highness is only the executor of the Xuanwu Gate incident. King Qin is the leader. He is the main person. To take revenge, why not take revenge from King Qin."
Xue Wanche smiled and said, "Zi Shu, you are right."
"Then I will celebrate the addition of a big shot to King Chu's army. In the future, there will be a time for you to show off your skills! We believe that His Highness will come back, forever, believe..."
Zi Shu came forward to shake hands.
It was okay at first, but when he reached halfway, Xue Wanche drew his sword and slashed at him. Zishu narrowly avoided it and then took several steps back.
"It seems, Xue Wanche, you have made other choices."
Zi Mouse is still smiling.
Xue Wanche sneered: "You are late, general! You have joined King Qin's camp. You and other rebellious officials and traitors shall be punished!!"
As the word "诛" fell, people in the Longmen Inn, who were originally noisy and quiet, all drew out their swords and surrounded Zi Shu with cautious eyes.
Zishu didn't take a step and allowed themselves to be surrounded by them.
"Haha, it seems that Longmen Inn also belongs to King Qin. Interesting, interesting and interesting."
Zishu couldn't help but clap his hands.
Xue Wanche frowned: "Why are you still laughing when you are about to die?"
Zi Shu looked at him, slowly took off his cloak, revealing his extremely vulgar face, and smiled: "I laugh at you, because your family will be exterminated in the future, and I also laugh at your Xue family, which will become extinct."
boom! !
As soon as these words came out, Xue Wanche's anger soared.
These people under King Chu’s account!
Arrogant, arrogant! ! !
Always so arrogant! !
Even if death is imminent, this is the case! !
Xue Wanche was about to speak, but at this time, because Zi Shu took off his cloak and a little sunlight from the Longmen Inn shone on him, he spontaneously combusted!
"This, this is!"
Xue Wanche was shocked, how could a person suddenly catch fire.
And the most horrifying thing was that even though his body was burning, that little rat was still smiling, as if it was not his body that was burning, but someone else.
"Hahaha, Xue Wanche!"
Zi Shu opened his arms and looked at him arrogantly, but at this time, the flames had burned all over his body.
"Just wait, my Highness will come back! When he comes back, you, Xue Wanche, will regret your choice today!!"
"You little man, you are here to devote yourself to your highness's passionate cause!!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
He laughed wildly, laughed wildly, laughed wildly...
The laughter could not stop until the flames burned his entire body.
Zi Shu, dead.
Just like that, dead...
Xue Wanche looked at the pile of black meat, his eyelids twitching wildly.
This group of lunatics were actually prepared to die before they came to see him.
"Madman! Madman! The people of King Chu are all madmen!!"
Xue Wanche made a fuss.
Although Zi Shu was dead, he was still afraid in his heart.
I'm afraid that the future will be exactly what the dead Zi Shu said.
That arrogant man came back and slaughtered his entire Xue family...
"Go and see if that guy is dead!"
Xue Wanche urged the killer next to him to go over.
He was afraid, he was afraid that this crazy guy would come back from the dead!
That pile of black meat can transform into a person.
He fears! He is so scared! !
The killer was heartbroken, but he still pretended to be brave and went over to check, kicked the black meat a few times, and then said: "General, he is dead!"
"sure?"
"Sure!"
Hearing this, Xue Wanche breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why does this little rat spontaneously combust? Can anyone explain to me, General?"
Xue Wanche inspected the surrounding area.
Soon a killer came out: "General, this subordinate knows."
"Spontaneous combustion of the human body is a trick I have seen before in Chang'an City. At first I thought it was some supernatural force, but in fact, it is not a supernatural force at all."
"The cause of spontaneous combustion in humans is the 'Red Flame Beetle', a highly toxic beetle that feeds on yellow phosphorus."
"This kind of "red flame beetle" will automatically catch fire and turn into ashes as long as the person who is poisoned by it is exposed to sunlight."
Red Flame Golden Turtle…….
Xue Wanche's eyes flickered. After knowing the reason, he was not so afraid of this crazy rat.
However, I was still afraid.
Looking at the stall of black meat, I couldn't help but say: "Madmen, King Chu's army are all madmen!!"
Things end here.
Half an hour later.
In the land of yellow sand one mile away from the Longmen Inn, there are many people wearing black cloaks, covering their faces and whole bodies, so that no one can see clearly.
Counting it down, there were ten people in total.
"Zi Shu No. 6 hasn't come back yet. The agreed time has passed. He is dead. Xue Wanche can be officially listed as an enemy."
One of the cloaked men spoke.
Zi Mouse No. 6…….
Yes, Zi Shu is never alone.
There are rumors in the world that there are twelve rats. If one of them is killed, he will be reborn. If ten of them are killed, he will be reborn.
Only when it is completely destroyed can it stop a little bit.
There are a total of twelve Zishu people. Compared with the strict selection of the Twelve Nighters, the selection of the person codenamed Zishu is extremely simple, crazy enough! Don't take death seriously! I am willing to dedicate my heart to the hot cause!
That's all.
However, even so, the Twelve Rats also include fighting rats, messenger rats, spy rats, etc.
They are a small military configuration, each performing its own duties.
Some people may have questions, is it meaningful to die like Zishu No. 6 just now?
Meaningful, very meaningful!
If he succeeds in persuading Xue Wanche, then the King of Chu's army will have another general, which is the combat power of the Tang Dynasty God of War.
And failure is nothing more than the death of a mouse.
A tiny mouse.
Internally, they think so.
From its establishment to the present, their record has been brilliant. Among them, General Qinglong was recruited by them. General Qinglong has made great contributions to the King of Chu's army, and his role is far greater than theirs.
In addition, during the Xuanwumen incident, they also recruited Wang Gui, the former think tank of Jiancheng, into the King of Chu's army.
Although Wang Gui is not well-known in history, he is actually a very powerful person.
Historically, after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he sent Wang Gui to Li Jiancheng to join the army and serve as the crown prince's successor.
It can be said that he is highly regarded by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
His status in the Prince's Mansion was even higher than that of Feng Li and Wei Zheng.
Over the years, the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin has become increasingly fierce.
Wang Gui once made suggestions and recruited ministers to Li Jiancheng's command to confront Li Shimin.
However, a few years ago, Yang Wenqian, a vassal under Li Jiancheng, rebelled and was finally pacified by Li Shimin.
Wang Gui was also implicated.
Li Yuan believed that as the prince sacrificed his life and joined the army as the East Palace, he failed to dissuade the prince, which led to discord between the brothers.
Finally he was exiled.
When people in later generations talked about the Xuanwu Gate Incident, they often lamented that if Wang Gui had been in Chang'an at that time, it might not have been Li Shimin who launched the mutiny, but Li Jiancheng who took the initiative.
Later, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to show his magnanimity and broad-mindedness, he deliberately recalled Wang Gui to Chang'an.
Wang Gui also relied on his true talents and knowledge to successfully become prime minister from an exile.
Known as one of the four famous figures in the early Tang Dynasty.
How powerful it is to be one of the four famous figures in the early Tang Dynasty with the body of Dai Sin!
Now he is in the King of Chu's army, just waiting for the inspection to be completed. Once passed, the chief can let him get the fifth position and make suggestions for the Chu army and the Jiangdong elders.
Recruiting celebrities, officials, and generals is the job of the Twelve Rats.
"The Rat Army is destroyed. Hehehe, it seems that we have to find new rats."
"No. 8, what you said is true, but I will not agree to recruit another woman like you. It's annoying enough to have you alone."
"What? No. 2, I'm very strong, okay. Anyway, I will be responsible for this matter. You go contact other disabled generals and soldiers."
"Okay, then No. 10 and I will be responsible for finding candidates for the new Chou Niu, Yin Tiger, and You Rooster, and we will go and inspect them."
"Let's divide the troops into five groups, two in groups."
"No problem, it's just... Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a pity. The number 6 is quite auspicious. Your Highness also likes the number 6. After all, it's a great success. It's a pity that he died like this."
"Hehe, there is nothing we can do about it. Who makes us the most dangerous among the Twelve Nighters?"
"……."
Ten mice, talking and laughing, drifted away.
They were not sad because of the death of Zishu No. 6. They had no such thing as personal negative emotions.
Even if other sub-rats fall in front of them at this moment, they will ignore them.
madman.
A bunch of lunatics.
Yes... people in this era call them that.
Crazy, crazy….
Always shouting like this.
In later generations, there was a more appropriate name.
Call them, mentally ill.
They are all mentally ill, a group of mentally ill people with fervent beliefs.
.
…….….….….….
at the same time.
It is very far away from Chang'an City.
There are countless towering snow-capped peaks in the north. The weather here is no better than in the south. It is extremely cold. Countless snow-capped mountains stand proudly between heaven and earth amid the howling cold wind.
The snow is flying, boundless.
The snowflakes and roars from nature come from the sky, seeming to cheer for the severe cold in this winter!
Everything in the world seemed very quiet. Only the sound of the snow waves blown by the strong wind and beating against the mountain wall was echoing. The whole world seemed extremely quiet.
Only the ice and snow tower into the clouds, and the white snow makes the countless snow-capped mountains look as if they are frozen, making people feel desperate and lonely.
And in one of the snowy mountains.
Looking from a high altitude, you will find that there are many jungles on the mountainside, and the trees are set up very regularly. Looking down from the sky is Tai Chi Bagua.
at this time.
In the jungle.
There was a girl with long silver hair walking holding a halberd, and her pace was like an unsheathed sword.
She wore a set of red and gold beast-faced armor, with a jade belt around her waist, a hundred-flower battle robe behind her, a pair of moire combat boots, and two spotted sparrow red feathers on the golden crown above her head.
The girl is in her teens, with a faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows, a tall and straight figure, and a hot figure!
She seemed hurt.
As he walked towards Tianshan Mountain step by step, blood continued to flow out behind him.
Even though she was injured, the girl kept walking towards the top of Tianshan Mountain, and kept walking...
Even if my body is in extreme pain, I keep walking.
She is not a simple person.
In the mural of the Twelve Nighters, he sits fifth on the right side. Even if there is no face in the painting, you can still see the fiery loyalty and hot body. The code name is Wu Ma!
The weather is not good today.
The snow is falling heavily, the wind is howling, and the clouds are gathering.
The howling cold wind blew across Wu Ma's little face, and he felt pain on his face, as if he had been cut by a knife.
And the abdomen where the wound was located was suffering severe injuries every moment, as if it was a pain that was eating away at the heart and bones.
Even so, she gritted her teeth and moved forward.
She carries so much hope.
Chief, General Qinglong, villagers of Chuhe Village, tens of thousands of elders in Jiangdong...
Too many, too many.
Everyone is waiting for her to return and bring the Chu Army legend back to Jiangdong.
Wu Ma looked at the top of Tianshan Mountain. There was still a long way to go. Her beautiful silver waist-length hair was messy and fluttering in the cold wind, like a group of demons dancing.
The cold wind howls, chilling your heart even when you exhale.
"I can do it. I can definitely make it to the gym."
"On the way, we have escaped the pursuit of so many masters under Admiral Tiance. How could we give up so easily!"
"Chief, I will definitely take Master back!"
Wu Ma gritted his teeth and encouraged himself to continue climbing up the mountain.
Facing the cold wind.
Keep climbing up, keep climbing up...
When we came to a blind corner, we saw a steep wall as high as five meters in front of us.
This steep wall...
Wu Ma pursed her red lips, then gritted her teeth and climbed up regardless of the torn abdominal wound.
The cloud-patterned combat boots on the soles of the feet exerted force quickly, like a flying man, Wu Ma jumped into the air, and his two jade hands firmly grasped the rocks exposed on the steep wall.
Do the same, jump again, and grab the rock above again.
After a few times, she climbed up the steep wall here.
The scenery above the steep cliff is only the gray snowfield of autumn.
But at the extreme end of the snow, there is a gym located there. It is the only huge gym on the top of the cliff.
She was already injured, but climbing the steep wall again caused the wound in her abdomen to tear even wider, and the pain spread throughout her body.
Wu Ma still gritted his teeth and moved forward. When he arrived at the entrance of the gym, he knelt down on his legs.
"Disciple Wu Ma, you have come from afar, come here! On behalf of your highness, on behalf of the chief, on behalf of the villagers of Chuhe Village, and on behalf of Jiangdong fathers, please master, please come out!!!"
"Hosting, overall situation!!!"
