In Kyoto, today is also a calm day for the people.
For Gu Xiaotian and others in the dark pavilion, it can actually be regarded as another kind of calm.
However, Gu Xiaotian felt that he was about to get moldy. Living in the secret room of the Secret Investigation Department, he only had to eat and watch his subordinates do things all day long, which was really boring.
However, even if he wanted to do something now, there was nothing he could do.
He could only lie quietly on the crossbar, watching those people walking around underneath with no interest, and countless letters passing by him.
Suddenly, a subordinate's footsteps were obviously a little hurried, and he ran up three steps at a time and handed a secret letter to Sun Gusheng.
Sun Gusheng took the secret letter, frowned slightly, and asked, "Where are they now?"
The subordinate replied: "Leader Qu is almost here, but Master Xiao still has some way to go."
Sun Gusheng rubbed his head and began to think quickly.
After a moment, he said: "Send a secret message to the Ouchi guards and ask them to wait for me outside the city. I can't just watch them die."
The subordinate was stunned and said nothing.
As a subordinate of the Secret Investigation Department, he just had to do whatever the superiors said, and he didn't need to have any ideas of his own.
But in the final analysis, although they are subordinates, they are not without brains. Now they have managed to hide it, but they have not stayed there for even a day and are about to send it out. Isn't this a little too safe?
The subordinate advised in a low voice: "Your Highness, we cannot harm you just because of the lives of these people."
Sun Gusheng stared at the subordinate with sharp eyes and asked, "When will it be your turn to teach Gu how to do things?"
The subordinate quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."
"only……"
He wanted to give some advice, but Li Pingping, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Your Highness, he is right, we cannot harm you just because of these."
Sun Gusheng could not listen to what others said, but for Li Pingping, who was a minister, a teacher, and a good friend, Sun Gusheng would listen to a few words.
However, Sun Gusheng still couldn't do it and put the lives of those people aside.
"Xiang Li, if they die, what's the use even if I keep the chair?"
Li Pingping chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you can't go, but someone can go for you."
Then, he looked at Gu Xiaotian, who had been watching the show next to him.
Gu Xiaotian was slightly startled, but suddenly burst into laughter.
Before, he always thought that he was the key figure like Sun Gusheng. Since he couldn't get out, how could he get out.
Otherwise, I am smart for a lifetime, but I am confused for a while.
I still think about things too complicatedly. Sun Yanlu has always wanted Sun Gusheng's life. As for himself, it seems that he has become an accessory. Whether he dies or not seems not that important to Sun Yanlu.
The most important thing is that among the four people present, it is indeed the most appropriate to go alone.
He is not an official in the imperial court. He is just a young master from a big family who has a close relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Gu Xiaotian immediately took the initiative and said: "I will never let down Mr. Li's expectations!"
Li Pingping smiled and nodded with admiration in her eyes.
Sun Gusheng was a little worried and warned: "If you encounter difficulties, withdraw, but it is best not to withdraw again."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "We have already done what we have done. There is no reason to withdraw at any time. Just stay here honestly. Maybe I will come back tomorrow with Sun Yanlu's head!"
Sun Gusheng forced out a smile and smiled softly.
The subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department immediately took Gu Xiaotian away.
Naturally, they took different secret passages. These secret passages were dug by the Secret Investigation Department themselves, and only the people in the Secret Investigation Department knew about them.
These secret passages had been hidden in such a large Kyoto since the early days of the Secret Reconnaissance Department, and several more were dug after that, just in case of emergencies.
This is also the reason why the Secret Investigation Department has been able to collect intelligence secretly but has never been exposed.
In terms of familiarity with Kyoto, I am afraid that even the people who repair roads in the Ministry of Industry are not as good as these subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department.
Arriving outside the city, the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department handed over their hands and said: "The rest of the matter will be left to Mr. Gu. We will wait for your news in the dark pavilion."
Gu Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment. Why does this title sound so... shy?
Seeing the subordinate slowly disappearing in the dark night, Gu Xiaotian took a deep breath, took the map that his subordinate had just given to him, and carefully touched the direction of Qu Xiaohan.
…
…
With the protection of the night and the route provided by the Secret Reconnaissance Department, Gu Xiaotian had reached this place without much effort.
He hid in a haystack nearby, stretched out his eyes, and observed carefully.
There hasn't been a fierce battle here as he thought.
Qu Xiaohan still has some sense in doing things, and he also saw Xu Yuanzhi's injuries. She didn't believe that Xu Yuanzhi could be seriously injured just by those monsters.
Although Xu Yuanzhi said it clearly, the injuries on his body represented the answer.
For this reason, Qu Xiaohan decided to explore the truth today and take advantage of the dark night and high winds to catch these monsters off guard. How many of them can be killed depends entirely on luck. 33
Qu Xiaohan waved his hand, called one of his subordinates, and ordered: "In a moment, you lead the people to go from the right, and I will lead the people to come from the front. You are dividing into a group to go around. Be careful, and only come out to fight one wave." Just leave, don’t stay, do you understand?”
The subordinate nodded and immediately started preparations.
These monsters basically don't need to rest, but they don't wander around. Instead, they gather in a group obediently, either sitting or standing.
Qu Xiaohan clicked his tongue twice, he could no longer be called a human being, he was definitely like the walking corpse.
Half a quarter of an hour later, his subordinates rushed to Qu Xiaohan's side and whispered: "The alliance leader is ready."
Qu Xiaohan nodded and was about to take action when he heard a series of footsteps and quickly looked back.
I saw Xiao Juanyun and his disciples running towards here quickly.
Qu Xiaohan secretly thought something was wrong. He was about to speak out to stop it, but it was too late.
Those demons were very sensitive to sounds. Although Xiao Juanyun was still far away from them at this time, they had already started to stand up and roar.
Xiao Juanyun quickly stopped and looked at the demons, frowning slightly.
Almost in an instant, the group of demons no longer waited and rushed towards Xiao Juanyun like tigers hunting prey.
Qu Xiaohan gritted his teeth. He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill some of the demons, but now he was ruined. However, he had no intention of worrying about it at the moment. It was most important to protect the disciples in Qingling Cave first, so he immediately ordered the attack.
The three parties rushed out of the night, forming a double-team on the demon, and took action quickly.
The most different thing between the four major alliances and Jianghu sects is probably the ability to fight in groups.
In the martial arts sect, most disciples mainly fight alone. Those outstanding people can make a name for themselves in the martial arts world, but when it comes to commanding operations, they are still laymen.
Most of the people in the four major alliances are relatively mediocre in strength. If such people are placed in the world, they are just cannon fodder. Fortunately, these people understand the importance of team fighting better and are more suitable for fighting.
Each is different and each has its own merits.
Most of the disciples in Qingling Cave mainly study medicine, and they also practice some martial arts just to keep fit. They had never seen this scene before, and they were immediately frightened to the point of weakness in their legs.
Fortunately, the leader, Xiao Juanyun, still had some skills in him. He immediately protected in front of the disciples and built a high wall of energy to wrap up all the disciples.
However, he can only do so much. He has to protect all his disciples, so it is naturally difficult to retreat.
Hanchun City's offensive was ready to be withdrawn. This was originally a blitzkrieg, a matter of shooting and leaving, but it was very easy for them to retreat, but what about Qingling Cave?
Qu Xiaohan looked at Xiao Juanyun, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Save people!"
The soldiers of Hanchun City who were about to withdraw from the battlefield immediately turned around and went to fight those monsters again.
From this point on, casualties began to occur.
Even the most powerful border army cannot stop the monster. What can these soldiers of Hanchun City do?
Qu Xiaohan was extremely anxious now.
She took out her double rings and threw them forward. The double rings brought up a large group of flowing fireflies, which immediately scattered a bunch of monsters. Then she jumped with both feet and jumped to Xiao Juanyun's side, urging: "You go first, the rest It’s up to us in Hanchun City to find a solution.”
Xiao Juanyun nodded. At this time, he didn't have a mother-in-law. If he continued to delay, everyone would probably be here.
Xiao Juanyun retreated step by step, while Qu Xiaohan kept protecting him, knocking away the demon who wanted to attack Xiao Juanyun.
In the night, roars and screams came one after another.
In such a battle, time often passes faster. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Hanchun City soldiers who sneaked up on the demon from the rear were completely defeated.
Qu Xiaohan looked back anxiously at the people in Qingling Cave. These disciples were probably frightened. Some of them couldn't even run and needed someone to carry them. Such a retreat was really slow.
Just when she turned around and was distracted, several demons passed by her.
She hurriedly wanted to turn around and chase after her, but found that there were also a bunch of monsters coming towards her in front of her.
Qu Xiaohan now really hates that he doesn't have three heads and six arms, and is tightly restrained by these monsters in front of him.
Xiao Juanyun walked at the end of the team, knocking away the demons who missed him one by one.
But if the bucket breaks a hole, a steady stream of hands will flow out.
There were more and more demons, and Xiao Juanyun was a little overwhelmed.
In order to take care of the scared junior brothers, an older Qingling Cave disciple was supporting the scared junior brothers. He didn't notice that several demons were already rushing towards them.
Xiao Juanyun hurriedly spoke, and the older disciple realized the danger, but the moment he turned around and hesitated, it was already too late.
He narrowed his eyes in despair.
But in the next scene, he was surprised. He saw that the demon had obviously stretched out his hand, but he remained motionless on the spot.
The next moment, there was a burst of blood, and the demon's head was separated from his neck alive.
A young man, holding a sword, looked at the trembling disciple who was frightened, and urged: "What are you waiting for? Run quickly!"
Some people died, but not completely...
