Dodging a round of bows and arrows at the head of the city, Li Chao ordered everyone to retreat to the place of an arrow, and the pupils under the mask stared at the top of the city, as if two flames flashed.

"A bunch of ignorant and reckless men, bring me my bow. ”

Behind Li Chao was followed a horse, which had no saddle on it, but only a large box, and just after Li Chao had finished his orders, one of the guards removed the box and carefully opened it, revealing a longbow lying inside.

The entire bow body is made of stainless steel, the slender bow arm is extremely tense, and the nine leopard tendons are brewed with secret medicine, and the knife is constantly chopped, full of toughness.

The guard picked up the longbow with both hands and handed it to Li Chao, who was sitting on the war horse, Li Chao held the bow in his left hand, took out the feather arrow from the arrow box hanging behind the war horse, and then tied his waist card behind the arrow, and glanced at the city at will.

Ding~ The feather arrow appeared in a straight line above the city, just passing through the middle of Liao Cheng and Lu Meng, and was deeply nailed to the pillar behind the two.

Liao Cheng, who was talking to Lu Meng, was suddenly silent, beads of sweat flowed down the official hat, turned his head slowly, looked at the tail of the arrow that was still trembling, Liao Cheng swallowed his saliva with difficulty, if this feather arrow was a little bit off, his head would break a big hole, it was really dangerous.

It's just that Liao Cheng's fright hasn't passed, and he saw the golden waist card that was about to fall into the wall, and after recognizing the waist card, he was frightened again, and his legs suddenly became weak, and he almost fainted.

The glittering waist card, with a dragon claw carved on it, has a forbidden word in the heart of the claw, a simple pattern, and a clear logo, but it makes Liao Cheng like five thunderbolts, suppressing him from kicking him out of breath.

Liao Cheng's voice trembled a little, and he asked Lu Meng next to him: "Lord Lu, do you recognize this token?"

At this time, Lumon was no better, as a soldier, how could he not recognize this token, which made him feel a deep fear.

"Recognize, recognize. ”

"Then don't you open the city gate quickly and let them in!" Liao Chengxin finished speaking, he was hurt by these big soldiers, what did they do just now? Shooting His Majesty's Praetorian Guards with arrows is a great crime of rebellion, and it is not easy for him to get to the position of Fu Yin, and it is estimated that all of them are gone.

"What are you doing, don't put down your bow and arrows, and go and open the gates of the city. Rumon was so nervous that his voice was already a little distorted.

Wow~Wow~Wow

The heavy city gate slowly rose, and the little colonel, who had been hiding under the city gate, immediately pulled out the long knife at his waist and rushed to the city tower, he wanted to avenge the dead war horse.

Liao Cheng, who was just about to go downstairs, happened to meet the little colonel who came angrily, and with just one face, Liao Cheng had an extra long knife around his neck.

Feeling the chill coming from his neck, Liao Cheng didn't dare to move, but just said: "Strong man spare your life, don't kill me, I am the governor of Dongming City." ”

When the surrounding soldiers saw that Lord Yin of their own mansion had been captured, they all drew their long knives and surrounded the little colonel in the middle.

"What are you doing, quickly put away the knife, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Liao Cheng, who was held to the neck by a knife, hurriedly opened his mouth and ordered, he was afraid that the actions of these big-headed soldiers would anger the armor-clad guards in front of him, if he was cut by him, how could he reason.

The sound of horses' hooves was loud, and after the city gate was opened, Li Chao outside the city led the guards into the city, and when he saw the officials who were subdued by his subordinates, Li Chao asked lightly: "Your Excellency is the Yin of Dongming City?"

It stands to reason that Liao Cheng's official position is much higher than that of Li Chao, and Li Chao should bow and salute, but after Li Chao saw Liao Cheng, not only did he not dismount, but also asked Liao Cheng in a condescending tone, and the arrogance of the Son of Heaven's close ministers was undoubtedly revealed, if it was in normal times, Liao Cheng would not be afraid of Li Chao, but the current situation is stronger than people, and Liao Cheng can't take care of these anymore.

"Yes, yes, Yin Liaocheng of the Xiaguan Dongming City Mansion, dare to ask the general's name? ”

Li Chao asked the junior colonel who had captured Liao Cheng, "Did you misunderstand? Little four, what did they say just now?"

Xiao Si held the long knife in his hand tightly, his eyes swept over the soldiers who came down from Chenglou in turn, and said: "Just now, someone not only called the emperor by his name, but also said that even if the emperor is there in person, he will not open the city gate. ”

"What a big dog! Come on, take them all!"

A hundred Praetorian Guards quickly surrounded the officers and soldiers defending the city, and in less than a cup of tea, all the officers and soldiers were all held on the ground, and a few soldiers who resisted were already lying on the ground and convulsing at this time, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"You ... ”

Liao Cheng's eyes were split, these Praetorian Guards were too ruthless, and they were completely beating those resisting soldiers to death.

Without waiting for Liao Cheng to finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chao: "Lord Liao, could it be that you said what you said on the city tower before?"

Liao Cheng knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and he couldn't care about the soldiers lying on the ground anymore, and said with a crying voice: "No, no, the general wants to be clear, I didn't hear this brother's shout when I went up to the city tower, even if I was given a hundred guts, I would never dare to offend the emperor and be wronged." ”

The eyes under the mask swept over the room, and finally stopped at Rumon's body.

Plop~ Lu Meng knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, begging for mercy again and again: "The villain is guilty, and please spare the general." As he spoke, Lu Meng flashed his mouth, and one by one the crisp sounds struck everyone's hearts.

"Lord Liao, what should you do, don't you need me to teach you?" Ignoring Lu Meng's plea for mercy, Li Chao asked Liao Cheng instead.

"The subordinate knows, please rest assured that the subordinate will handle it impartially and will never dare to have the slightest selfishness. ”

Retracting his gaze, Li Chao said lightly: "I hope Lord Liao will not disappoint the emperor." Little four, put the knife away. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Si retracted the long knife unwillingly, stared at Liao Cheng fiercely with his eyes under the mask, and slowly retreated to the side.

"Also, Lord Liao, my brother's war horse was shot to death by you under the city gate, and you also know what the war horse means to us, you have to think carefully about how to make amends for my little brother. ”

After saying that, Li Chao strained his crotch and rode away on his warhorse, and the Praetorian Guards also let go of the soldiers defending the city and followed their commander.

"Come on, take Rumon down. ”

Lu Meng knelt and crawled to Liao Cheng's feet, hugged Liao Cheng's thighs and kept begging for mercy: "My lord, you have to save me." ”

Seeing that the soldiers were not moving, Liao Cheng raised his voice and shouted loudly again: "Are you all dead? I said take him down for me." ”

Several disgraced soldiers walked up to Rumon and set him up.

"My lord, you can't do this, don't forget, your son got married a few days ago, and I was filial... ”

Liao Cheng glared at Lu Meng fiercely, and then blinked desperately, signaling him to stop talking: "Shut up, take him down and keep him under strict supervision, no one is allowed to see him without my order." ”

Looking at the direction in which Li Chao was leaving, Liao Cheng patted the dust on his body, sighed, and hurriedly chased after him.

The last sunset with the setting of the sun, turned into a dark cloud, a man and a horse led a gorgeous carriage appeared at the north gate of Dongming City, looking at the closed city gate, Hu Yu pulled the reins, and asked the coachman sitting in front of the carriage: "Brother Li, is the curfew time in Dongming City so early? The sun has just set, and the city gate has been closed, it seems that we have to sleep overnight today." ”

Li San, who was sitting in the front of the car, looked at it, and sure enough, as Hu Yu said, the gate of Dongming City was closed, and it was obvious that he couldn't enter the city.

"Strange, it shouldn't be, I often pass by here, remember that the time to close the city gate is the middle of the day, could it be that something happened today?"

Hu Yueling poked her head out of the car window, looked at Hu Yu with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Brother Hu, are we in Dongming City?"

"It's here, but you can't enter the city now, you can rest in the car, and I'll go see what the situation is. ”

After Hu Yu finished speaking, he rode forward, came to the city gate, looked at the soldiers on the city tower like a great enemy, and asked: "Big brother upstairs, why do you close the city gate, can it be convenient, let us in?"
