Outside the city of Jinyang, the camp of the imperial army, in the tent.

At this time, the deliberations were over, and all the generals had retired.

The prince glanced at the sky, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Naturally, there will be no good tea in the army, but he tasted it slowly, thinking of what happened in Jinyang City at this time, and a smile slowly rose to the corner of his mouth.

The way of marching is both positive and strange.

……

In Jinyang City, even though the generals tried their best to appease, panic still quietly spread among the soldiers.

Decisive battle?

Although they only obeyed orders, they also knew that at this time, there was no food, no water and no backup, and a lone army was trapped in the city.

If it sounds good, it is a decisive battle, and if it doesn't sound good, it is just a matter of escaping according to the destiny of heaven.

When I entered the city, I couldn't even drink a sip of water. Their throats were dry and hoarse, so they had to fall asleep with their weapons in their hands. Looking forward to rushing to the city tomorrow, it is better to fight whether you are dead or alive than to suffer here.

The emotions of the soldiers also infected the generals.

Don't say anything about the little lady in this city, you can't even see a personal shadow, and you can't talk about gold, silver and jewelry. A city that is too empty to be empty can not guarantee basic food and clothing.

In this cold winter wax moon, more than one day is a sin.

Even more depressed than them was Bakunlin.

He originally dreamed of capturing Jinyang, going south to grab the throne, and becoming the emperor. I didn't expect such a fiasco, and even life and death became a problem.

simply stopped thinking about these gains and losses, went to bed early, wrapped in a quilt that I didn't know where to find it, and fell asleep.

The darker the day, the darker the night.

There were more than 30,000 troops in Jinyang City, but the morale fell to the lowest point. If it weren't for the sound of snoring, it would almost make people think that there was no one in the city.

From top to bottom, the Ba Jiajun thought that this was an empty city. Even the sentinels were not sentified, so that everyone could sleep well and meet the big battle that was coming tomorrow.

However, they were wrong, and they were wildly wrong. Tonight, the Ba family army is destined to pay the price of blood.

Shadow Guard hides in the shadows, sneaking quietly.

They passed by the soldiers who were sleeping on the ground, and quietly approached the Taishou Mansion. The generals led by Ba Kunlin all stayed here.

Wang Leyu slowly emerged from the darkness, and the awe-inspiring light reflected in the cold night of the sword light.

"Who?" said Bakunlin, who awoke suddenly. He is worthy of being a fierce general, and even in his dreams, he is so sensitive to murderous aura.

His eyes widened as he watched someone with a knife in the dark night, grinning. Just when he felt that he was full of frustration and had nowhere to vent, someone sent him to the door, just to practice knives.

With a sudden, he jumped up from the bed, took the knife standing beside the bed, and pounced on Wang Leyu.

But in the next second, he was horrified to find that his upper body and lower body were broken at the waist. There were a few muffled pops, and the two bodies fell into the corner.

Bakunlin turned his head with the last of his strength, and saw a steel wire as thin as a hair in the room, and beads of blood from his body hung on it.

This thread, if it weren't for the blood beads reflecting the light at this time, would not have been visible in the dark night.

He just accelerated and pounced on Wang Leyu, and the huge strength and the speed of the explosion were the reasons why he was cut in two pieces by the steel wire.

It turned out that he died by his own hands. This kind of means is only available to shadow guards. It was the last vague thought in his head.

"Shadow Guard......" He thought he was shouting a warning in a major event, but Wang Leyu only heard his soft whisper.

Glancing at the two halves of the corpse, Wang Leyu put on a pair of special gloves and carefully removed the steel wire. Wipe off the blood and place it in a skin pouch.

Only then did he pick up the knife and walk to Ba Kunlin's side, cut his head and put it in a burden, and pushed the door out.

When the shadow guards outside saw him come out, they all bowed slightly. In their hands, almost every one of them had a package dripping with blood.

Wang Leyu nodded, everyone understood, and disappeared into the darkness.

Jinyang City was evacuated, and the shadow guards stayed here for six or seven days. I have already touched the streets and alleys in the city, and I have already left a passage out of the city.

Under the cover of night, several people came to a section of the city wall to the west. Here, Wang Leyu ordered people to do his hands and feet in advance, and more than 20 traces were chiseled out outside the city wall, and the length and width were just enough for people to settle down.

The Jinyang city wall is more than six zhang high, even if Wu Zhengxiang is here, he can't jump off the wall without any damage.

The shadow guard then hooked the rope in his hand, and stepped down the chisel mark in turn.

"Someone outside the camp asked to see the prince. ”

Hearing this, the prince was overjoyed. Someone is coming at this hour, is it true that the shadow guard has succeeded?

"Come in, please. ”

Wang Leyu entered the handsome tent, met the prince with a group of shadow guards, opened the burden in his hand, and put it on the desk.

"Your Highness, I am fortunate not to be dishonored!"

"Okay!" the prince laughed loudly: "You have made great achievements, and you will be rewarded after returning to Beijing." ”

"Someone!" two guards came in from outside.

"Put these heads under the city overnight. ”

"Chief?" the guard was puzzled, and when he saw Ba Kunlin's eyes clearly, he knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness!"

Ba Kunlin gave the head, and the next thing was easy to do.

However, Bakunlin was trapped in the city, how did the prince take off their heads?

There were a few people in the tent who exuded a fierce murderous aura, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore. admired the prince's unpredictable methods.

When the guards took the head and retreated, Wang Leyu arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, let me retire later." ”

Shadow Guard has the philosophy of Shadow Guard, and not appearing in front of people is one of them.

The prince nodded in agreement, and Wang Leyu took the shadow guards and disappeared into the darkness again.

……

is different from the slaughter in the north, at this time, in the Zhongguo Mansion, it is the excitement of reunion after a long absence.

Mama Zheng took Xu Wanzhen's hand and looked at it again and again, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. The others were also laughing and tearful, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Although they guarded Zhiyuan for her, they hoped that she would return. But there are few people who really think she can be safe.

The more I go through, the more I think about it. For example, Mama Zheng, Bai Shan, and Cai Si.

There are only Sang Zi and Qingluo, and the two of them firmly believe from beginning to end that the second young lady will definitely come back, but it is only a matter of time or time.

When they first saw Xu Wanzhen appear, everyone went from disbelief at the beginning, to ecstasy later, and finally crying.

After serving Xu Wanzhen for dinner, everyone's emotions calmed down, and slowly talked about what happened after she left. No matter how big or small, report to her.

There are some things that Xu Wan really knows from elsewhere. For example, the prince rebelled, Wang Miaoyan and Lei Ba were imprisoned, but at this time, listening to his maid said, it was a different taste.

There were some things she didn't know. For example, Chen's hemiplegia is happy with the second aunt of the Xu family.

Hearing Qingluo talk about it, on the night of Xu Wanzhen's disappearance, when the Chen family had to come to Zhiyuan to enjoy the flowers, Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "Come and don't be rude, since she is so anxious to see me unlucky, then I should also go to the Buddhist hall to see." ”
