"Report!"

The raised voice cut through the continuous night rain, and the panicked voice sounded outside the Purple Smoke Palace, and a smoky and burning Five Cities Soldiers and Horses General ran all the way, half-crawling and half-running on the Purple Smoke Palace, and knelt on the ground with a pop, "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses are walking in the water, the fire is extremely large, and it is uncontrollable!"

"Please return to the Five Cities Terracotta Division quickly!"

"With such a heavy rain, how can the water go away?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao frowned and asked in disbelief.

The visitor replied in fear, "In the past two days, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division has been waiting for the order of Lord Duwei, but some people in the army have been disobeying the constraints of Deputy Commander Liu, and often make trouble, thinking that Captain Liu is passing on a false life. ”

"Who is it?"

Ruo Ao Yue Jiao raised his eyebrows.

"Several commanders under the former Situ Duwei were drinking and making trouble in the guard, and when Captain Liu saw them making trouble, he wanted to deal with them according to military law, but they were dissatisfied, and they set fire to the trouble afterwards!"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao frowned and said, "Doesn't Liu Yi know about firefighting?"

Under the momentum of Ruo Ao Yuejiao, the person who came trembled for a moment, "Deputy Commander Liu is already fighting the fire, but the troublemakers burned the arsenal and equipment depot of the Captain, and the Deputy Commander did not dare to be arbitrary, so he sent a villain to come!"

"Situ Nan......"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao raised his eyebrows, made a fist clench, and said in a cold voice, "It seems that I really want to give your people a ride in person." ”

But a commander on the side stepped forward and whispered in Ruo Ao Yuejiao's ear, "My lord, at this very moment, beware of fraud, Madame is still waiting for you to go back!"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao frowned and was silent.

In the hall, the half-asleep King Chu heard the movement and made a displeased voice through the bed curtain, and ordered Zhao Changshou to come out with a lamp to ask, looked at them with a slight smile and asked, "Lord Duwei, the king asked you what happened?"

Facing the ethereal candle flame, Ruo Ao Yuejiao's face was uncertain, and he only heard him reply, "Zhao Changshi, there was a military rebellion in the guard of the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Little Minister, in order to prevent changes in the palace, the little minister please strengthen the palace ban!"

The young general of the report was slightly puzzled, and raised his hand to point out the wrong words of the captain, but was stared at by Yue Jiao's wolf eyes, and lowered his head stiffly.

"Captain wait a minute, Zhao De will go in and report!"

Hearing this, Zhao Changshou quickly rushed into the hall with the candlestick.

Soon, a team of Tiger Ben Forbidden Army in the palace came out of the Tiger Ben Commander's Office with halberds, and shouted loudly: "The king has an order to increase the number of 5,000 Praetorian Guards to guard all parts of the palace. ”

"Idle people, etc., shall not commit the night. ”

The heavy rain rumbled, and the chaotic pace hit the East Palace, the cold rain slid down the robes on their bodies, and the dull rolling sound rolled across the uneven green brick floor.

"Lady!"

The sword guarding the outside of the East Palace's dormitory, Huang Yuwei, pressed the sword.

Si Qintong, who was lying on the couch, also turned over at the same time, and the hidden weapon in his sleeve pocket turned over and appeared in the palm of his hand.

"I heard it, and there were quite a few people coming. ”

Mi Huang had already rolled over and sat up.

With a "bang-" sound, the Phoenix Yuwei guarding outside the hall pressed his hand on the sword at his waist and slowly pulled out the scabbard, waiting for someone to come.

"Who's coming?"

In the heavy rain, on the gate of the East Palace, a group of Huang Yuwei raised their eyebrows, drew their swords and asked, "The princess has rested." ”

A commander of the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army stepped forward with a talisman in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "The soldiers and horses of the Five Cities are in turmoil, someone mutinied and burned the arsenal, and the king sent me to protect the princess first!"

When the words fell, the sound of the earth-shattering Tiger Ben Forbidden Army holding the halberd pillar sounded behind him, and "Dong Dong" knocked on the entire East Palace inside and outside, and all the palace people knelt on the ground in panic as if they had met the King of Chu.

Mi Huang casually put on a fox fur cloak, walked out with a slightly gloomy face in Siqin's support, and looked at the soldiers behind him with a frown.

Si Qin said angrily, "Bold, what do you mean by this, what are you all lieutenants, let him come out and answer!"

"Our lieutenant has already taken people out of the palace to quell the chaos!"

After the other party returned, he retreated into the ranks of the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army behind him, neither stepping forward nor retreating, but just surrounding the entire East Palace.

No one is allowed to enter or leave the message.

But behind him, there was a sound of horses beating in the distance, and the dust was gone, and Mi Huang looked at the sky-high fire in the wind and rain, which was the direction of the fifty percent soldiers and horses, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Since it is my father's order, I should abide by it in the East Palace." ”

Then he put down his hand, and the big hand hidden in the hem of his sleeve squeezed tightly, and turned around again, isolating all sounds outside the East Palace.

Si Qin whispered, "Princess, the king is really getting more and more mediocre, isn't this letting Yue Jiao rebel?"

Mi Huang didn't speak.

She thought of another possibility.

……

In the northwest corner of Yingdu, on the deserted dirt road, the sound of horses' hooves and the whip of horses are flying.

It shook up and down, and the rain splashed everywhere.

Slender tripwires were hidden in the mud of the road, and someone was lying on the ground like a gecko in the heavy rain, his ear drum vibrating, listening to the shaking of the earth.

A big hand was raised in the night, one by one withdrawn, and one by one spread out.

"A thousand steps, nine hundred steps, eight hundred steps...... Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps...... One hundred steps, the target enters the ambush range!"

As the five fingers retracted, another one stood up.

The night is as dark as ink, and it is difficult to distinguish between the hands and the hand.

Thirty men in black lay close to the ground, bowed like projectiles, prostrate in the dense forest on both sides of the road, silently clenching the ends of the tripping ropes, behind them two hundred people clenched the swords and axes around them, and another hundred people stood on the high place of the mass grave slope, pulling the bow and pulling the arrow, and the fingertips slightly pulled the bowstring of the ox tendon.

The hand raised in the dark night, the sound of "swish" drove the night rain to fall heavily.

The stumbling rope pulled, and the ice and rain shook and splashed.

The ends of the horse were constantly changing, and the hundred horses were thrown out by the stumbling ropes that bounced up, and all the soldiers on the horses fell to the ground.

"Pilot—"

"There's an ambush!"

The strings let go, and the arrows were full of arrows.

Countless sharp arrows pierced through the night rain, shot through the armor of the soldiers on horseback, and planted the horses, and the originally deserted road suddenly fell into chaos, and the still alive Tiger Ben Forbidden Army drew their swords and tried to stand up, protecting the man in it, shouting, "Protect Lord Commander!"

Lu Yi held the sharp sword and slashed the forbidden army who wanted to retreat or escape to the ground with a sword, and shouted, "Get all together and protect your lord!"

At the same time, his eyes are like electricity, and he quickly sweeps through the mass graves in the dark rain, looking for the dangers hidden in the darkness.

His instincts told him that he couldn't go any further.

The mass graves were constantly ringing with the sound of "shivering" arrows, and at the same time, people were constantly dying and being protected in front of them as humanoid shields.

Lu Yi snatched a dead man, carried it in front of him, held a sharp sword in his hand, and ordered everyone to move towards the dense forest of the mass grave slope.

Faintly, he could see a dark shadow moving rapidly in the darkness from a distance.

Step by step.

They stepped into the dense forest, and the heavy rain carried away the last faint light in the dense forest, and the behemoth grew into a sharp mouth, waiting for their prey to come to the door.

Danger erupts suddenly.

Lu Yi's face changed suddenly, Sen Leng's eyes jumped with a terrifying murderous aura, and a sword wanted to cut into the dense grass, and suddenly the five forbidden soldiers in front of him all screamed and fell to the ground, and there was no time to struggle, screaming, and separating up and down.

Blood was pouring out, like hell.

"There is an ambush, retreat, retreat!"

Everyone watched in horror at the sudden change, endless slaughter enveloped them, and all the forbidden soldiers immediately screamed in fright, threw off their armor and fled to the road.

The smell of death was as strong as a substance spread across the mass grave slope, and corpses fell to the ground, buried forever in this mass grave of the dead, and the forest seemed to have a giant beast roaring, rushing towards him and the Lord Captain behind him.

But Lu Yi couldn't back down.

Yue Jiao was injured.

He casually cut down a few more soldiers who wanted to retreat, shouting, "Retreat and die!"

All the forbidden troops had to pick up their weapons to meet the enemy, but there were always people who died suddenly, but they didn't know where the enemy was lurking, and they didn't know whether it was a corpse or a killer lying at their feet.

They were all strangled again.

In the darkness, Si Jian waved his hand behind him and issued a secret signal, everyone's eyes condensed slightly, and they tightened their grip on the sword and axe in their hands, and she took the lead and ran wildly in the rain like a leopard, making a loud noise, which immediately attracted the attention of all the forbidden troops.

The big sword in his hand stabbed out.

Like a shadow of death, it loomed over Lu Yi and the people behind him.

"This is where your bones are buried today!"

Before Lu Yi could fully react, the man behind him, who had not spoken, finally spoke up, his eyes were as clear as a wolf, and he laughed, "It turns out that I have been hiding here, waiting for you for a long time!"

The long knife in his hand slashed down the two forbidden soldiers who were blocking the road in front of him, and at the same time kicked the ground with both feet, and the long knife drank blood and then cut through the ice and rain, and slashed at the sword stabbed by Si Jian.

This is not the first time the two have played each other, and even in the dark, they can tell who their opponent is at the first time.

The two intersected with their swords, and let the two fierce beasts fight.

Swift, ruthless, deadly.

Every hit is a must-kill.

Lu Yi wanted to help, but his side was even more dangerous, a sharp giant axe "clicked" into the giant tree behind him, taking advantage of the other party's axe to pull the trace.

His head was tilted, and the sword in his hand stabbed out, and finally a person was killed.

But the danger is not over.

The Praetorian Army around him fell like grass, and in the end only a few men remained.

After several fights, Ruo Ao Yuejiao burst back a few steps after a blow, his hand holding the big knife was dripping blood, mixed with the night rain, because he was punished with sixty rods, his speed was far from reaching his peak state, and even when he retreated, he faintly stumbled a little.

The other side of the darkness.

Si Jian's gaze, which was also repulsing, was wandering around, confirming his position through the strips of cloth hanging from the branches, and moving towards the target point.

At the same time, he carried the big sword in her hand and smiled and beckoned, "Come on, Captain Ruoao, see if the sword in my hand will cut off your head first, or the knife in your hand will cut off my head first, haha......"

Speaking of which, she also pulled the wet back collar open, revealing a piece of her neck and sticking out, luring him to kill.

Some of the branches are hung with various thin striped white flags.

Drifting in the wind and rain.

blocked part of the sight between the two, but couldn't block each other's killing intent.

Looking at the arrogant Si Jian, Ruo Ao Yuejiao pulled up a bloodthirsty smile, pointed at her in the rain with a big knife in his hand, a drop of ice rain mixed with the blood of the unknown who slashed the wolf head of the green wolf Xiaoyue Knife, and said coldly, "Your daughter wants to kill me here, but it is estimated that she will not survive tonight." ”

"Haha, I'll exchange one life for her two lives, it's worth it!"

Si Jian, who was originally preparing to act, frowned when he heard this, and smiled disdainfully, "If Captain Ao, you are my three-year-old child?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao was waiting for her hesitation at this moment, raised her eyebrows and hugged her chest and said, "Then let's make a bet, who will kill the deer tonight?"

"Is it me, or is it her and the child in her womb?"

"Before I set off, my forbidden army has surrounded the entire East Palace, as long as I don't go back safely tonight, everyone in the East Palace will be buried for me tomorrow morning!"

In the distance, the Yangyu belt had already taken advantage of the traces of the sword fight, and aimed the sharp arrow at Yue Jiao's vest from the rear, but the bowstring in his hand was tight and did not shoot.

Ashin, who was hiding behind a big tree, held the rope of the rolling log in his hand, but did not pull it down.

Everyone's action was stunned.

Silence in the darkness means his victory.

A sneer flashed on Ao Yuejiao's resolute face, and Lu Yi also gathered the remaining soldiers to gather in front of him, patted Lu Yi's shoulder, and motioned for him to lead someone to follow.

If there was no one beside him, he turned and departed first.

Lu Yi, but they held the sword in their hands, paying attention to the movement on the other side.

Si Jian clenched the sword in her hand, she knew that if she didn't kill him tonight, it would mean that she would never have a chance again.

But if they kill him, who will they fight for?......

The hilt of the sword in his hand, held tightly in the palm of his hand.

Everyone's eyes were unwilling, and suddenly Ashin pulled down the rope in his hand, and one by one the giant trees flew out of the forest, sweeping everything, at the same time, he shouted, "Don't believe him, kill!"

All the Phoenix Feather Guards exploded.

"Boom!" the loud crash broke the brief silence in the night rain once again.

Lu behind the cushion was shocked, suddenly grabbed the two soldiers and threw them forward, and reflexively pushed Yue Jiao down, resisting the huge impact for him.

"Bump!"

The giant tree knocked the soldiers out, and a stream of bloody arrows flew out, spilling on their bodies as they fell to the ground, and the thick blood and unspeakable stench came to their faces, and life and death were in sight.

……

Among the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, Liu Yi tied up all the dozens of commanders and deputy commanders to the ground, gagged their mouths, and stood on the corner tower and watched them silently, his face was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Huang Lin said behind him, "My lord, kill these children and soldiers, and no one in the army will oppose us in the future!"

Liu Yi squinted his eyes, stood on the corner tower of the Duwei Office and looked into the distance, his voice was low, and he shook his head very calmly: "Wait a little longer." ”

Behind him there was a blaze in the sky, and many soldiers were salvaging the remaining armory, but the arsenal burned to ashes, leaving only a ruin and a mess, and the fire had gradually been extinguished with the heavy rain.

Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses gathered from the service street, escorting wooden carts to transport weapons that had been reduced to "scrap", pushed to the nearest mass grave for burial.

Liu Yi kept his eyes on the desert road not far away, as well as the rows of wooden carts, this order was given by him alone, since the armory was burned, he simply emptied this place, and never had any trouble.

Huang Lin was anxious, not knowing his plan, and urged, "My lord, if you don't do it again, Lord Du Wei will come, and if we confront him at that time, our plan will fail." ”

Tonight, Liu Yi's statement to the outside world is to eradicate dissidents and consolidate his power.

Finally, Liu Yi nodded, "Military law, kill!"

Huang Lin received the order, and all the old party of Situ Nan in the thirties was executed that night, and Liu also completed further control of the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses.

……

At the same time, there was a burst of chaos on the streets of Yingdu, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities led people to chase the "bandits" who were making trouble, and launched a large-scale search at the city gate, but they were scattered by these "bandits" several times, and the city was chaotic and turbulent.

"Shopkeeper, there won't be an accident in the city tonight, right?"

Xiao Wu covered Xiao Liu's ears and hid in the backyard in fear, Lao Wan stood in front of the wooden window supported by Xiao Si, kept looking at the chaotic soldiers and bandits outside, and beckoned Xiao Si to walk to the kitchen together, "Don't be afraid!"

Someone knocked rhythmically outside the window of the back kitchen, Lao Wan pulled up the wooden bolt, someone climbed through the window and entered, and with a light "shh
