Chapter 102: The Underworld (I)
Recently, the Houjin people under Yanjing City said that they were very sad, and the fortified city in front of them was impregnable and difficult to capture, but the news that their hometown was copied from the rear made them have no intention of fighting, but they wanted to go home, and the Goryeo and Ming Dynasty reinforcements also cut off their back roads, so that they could not advance or retreat, and their morale was extremely low for a while.
As for the peasant rebel army, which was already a rabble, there were not a few left. They were honest peasants, and they really said that they had a hard time and couldn't survive before they embarked on the road of rebellion, but in the past two days they have heard from the people in their hometown that the landlords who oppressed them in the past have been overthrown, and not only that, but there are also many factories and workshops in their hometown, and the wages offered there are really eye-catching, so they throw down their swords and pick up their hoes, and go home to farm and work.
At first, the officers of the rebel army tried to stop them, but by the next day, even the officers did not know where they had gone, and a large army collapsed in an instant.
"It can't go on like this!" Ling Hao in the camp stood up anxiously, in the morning he overheard the conversation between Huang Taiji and his generals, they were already planning to withdraw tomorrow, of course, even if they didn't withdraw the army, it was useless, delay for a few more days and wait for the Mongols, the Koreans and the Ming Dynasty reinforcements to completely surround them, and then they couldn't break through at that time, only to be wiped out here.
"We're all there is to do now! Let's do it tonight, the two of us rush into the city together, open the gates, and kill the king here, our only hope of victory! ”
Hu Lie nodded blankly, he, like William, the plane task given to him by the center this morning disappeared, after all, the peasant rebel army is now in name only, and the power is gone, how can there be any task for him to complete? That is, in this race, he has already lost.
Ling Hao saw that Hu Lie's state was wrong, after all, he still had to rely on this guy's strength, so he had to be appeased: "Don't be discouraged, anyway, I already have a plane, as long as you are willing to help me all the time, after obtaining the ownership of this plane this time, I will definitely give this plane to you." ”
Hu Lie's eyes finally regained a little brilliance, and he raised his head: "What you said is true?" ”
Ling Hao showed a kind smile: "Of course, then we shouldn't hide anything from each other at this time, let's call out our assistants, and then discuss the actions of the night." ”
Ling Hao and Hu Lie have cooperated until now, and their assistants have never appeared, and each has left a hand behind their backs to guard against the other. But when it comes to this time when you have to give it a go, and if you still retain your strength, you will dig your own grave.
A dark shadow appeared behind Ling Hao, and an assassin with a black head and a scythe appeared behind him.
"This is my assistant, good at concealment and assassination, what about yours?"
Hu Lie shook his head: "I don't have an assistant, it's enough for me to rely on my sharp minions." ”
It's all this time, and you're still playing tricks with me! Ling Hao cursed in his heart, not believing Hu Lie's words.
Hu Lie didn't notice the ruthlessness in Ling Hao's eyes, scratched his head innocently, and said, "By the way, if I want to start fighting at night, I must fill my stomach first, can you give me some more delicious and convenient noodles that you gave me last time?" ”
"Take it." As soon as Ling Hao raised his hand, he threw three buckets of instant noodles to Hu Lie, watching Hu Lie open the lid on the paper bucket with joy, he was silent on the surface, but secretly planned in his heart.
Open your mouth and eat, and soon you'll never have a chance to eat again, hum.
At the same time, on the other side of the capital, Zheng Jing was looking down on the underground city from a high altitude.
"Hey, hey, hey! Slow down, let me see the layout of the city first. Zheng Jing complained to Xiao Lin, who had never known how dangerous speeding was, but as a result, he opened his mouth and was poured another belly of wind.
The little girl continued to enjoy the pleasure of riding the wind with the sword, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Zheng Jing's request, so she pouted and said, "I'm not going fast, how can I reflect my cultivation these days?" If you have the ability, don't sit on my flying sword, fly by yourself. ”
If it weren't for the fact that a big guy like a mecha would attract unnecessary attention, do you think I'd be willing to sit on your flying sword? Zheng Jing is bitter and can't say it, after all, he still has to continue to pretend to be his "dead man", everything is low-key, low-key.
I glanced down at the city where I lived hundreds of years ago, and the ancient layout of the city made Zheng Jing secretly say that it was lucky, if the center arranged the task to let William attack the capital, don't look at the city wall here is solid, but under the air attack + laser cannon offensive of William's local tyrant, the city is no different from paper paste.
However, luck is also part of strength, and what Zheng Jing needs to do is to play the remaining opponents to death with peace of mind and get the victory he deserves.
The palace was already close at hand, and before he came, Zheng Jing used a satellite to reconnoiter the situation here, and at this time, he knew exactly where the emperor was, and directly let Xiao Lin fall in the direction of Qianqing Palace.
At this juncture when the enemy soldiers are approaching the city, even if the emperor is mediocre at this moment of life and death, he will not be in the mood to enjoy the flowers and walk the birds, all the important ministers of the court in the Qianqing Palace have been summoned together, and began to make suggestions for the current situation.
Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair, covering his head painfully, as a young emperor, he had just ascended the throne, and there were still ambitions in his heart that were too late to be realized, but he didn't expect to suffer this catastrophe, if this pass could not be passed, then he would be too bitter as an emperor.
Why isn't there a capable minister around me who can help me solve my problems?
As soon as this idea appeared, a strong wind suddenly blew into the main hall, and just when everyone in the hall was wondering how the wind could suddenly start in such a good weather outside, they looked at it, but found that there were two more people in the hall at some point!
"There are assassins! Escort! At this sensitive moment, someone among the ministers shouted, and several guards with knives immediately rushed out of the Qianqing Palace!
None of these Ouchi masters are vegetarians, Zheng Jing didn't want to bother to fight with these people here, he clasped his hands together, and then slapped the ground under his feet, and the surrounding ground bulged and quickly turned into a circular earthen wall.
Before those guards with knives could get closer, the earthen wall had already isolated Zheng Jing inside, and Ming Sizong, who was not far from Zheng Jing's position, was also surrounded by the earthen wall!
In the darkness, Ming Sizong stood up, pretended to be calm and shouted at Zheng Jing and Xiao Lin in front of him: "You are an assassin sent by the Houjin people, and you want to take my head, right?" If you have the ability, come and get it! ”
Zheng Jing looked at the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, and suddenly shook his head, although Zhu Youzhen looked fearless and bold on the surface, the dodge of his gaze still betrayed the fear in his heart that he was unwilling to face this bad ending.
Zhu Youzhen is an aspiring emperor, there is no doubt about it, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father and brother, he really wants to be a good emperor, and he really wants to make the Ming Dynasty strong, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to match his lofty ambitions.
Completely losing interest in the dead emperor, Zheng Jing no longer looked at Zhu Youzhen, turned his head and said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you, but you guessed right, the enemy outside the city will indeed come soon to try to take your surname, and I am here to protect you." ”
"Why should I believe you? Also, who are you and the magic-casting Inhumans outside the city? ”
Zheng Jing smiled dumbly: "Since you don't believe me, why are you still asking me questions?" Will you believe my answer? ”
"This ......" Zhu Youzhen was speechless, in the face of the huge catastrophe, he was indeed in a mess.
The masters outside the wall had already begun to destroy the earthen wall, and this building created by Zheng Jing with alchemy could not last long, and Zheng Jing stopped talking nonsense, and directly accelerated the speed of speech.
"I don't care if you believe me or not, you have no choice, without my help, you may be assassinated tonight, or you may be attacked by the enemy tomorrow, or you will die, do what I say, at least I won't kill you now."
Zhu Youzhen's face was gloomy and uncertain, just because Zheng Jing dared to talk to him, the emperor, with such an aggressive attitude, he had no good impression of Zheng Jing, but he also had to admit that what Zheng Jing said was the truth, and he couldn't survive this catastrophe on his own.
Zheng Jing carefully paid attention to the expression on Zhu Youzhen's face, and once the situation was not for him, he would immediately order Brother Hei Chao, who was piloting the mecha to stand by in the air, to launch a surprise attack, and rob him and Ming Sizong together, and then make plans.
Zheng Jing knows history, of course, and knows that Zhu Youzhen is a person who likes to be suspicious, so to be honest, Zheng Jing didn't have any hope in persuading Zhu Youzhen's plan from the beginning, he just wanted to try it, after all, if he succeeded, he would save him a lot of trouble.
"Boom!" A Ouchi master smashed through the earthen wall with a knife and rushed in.
"Your Majesty!" Several guards with knives shouted in unison, and they prepared to rush into the earthen wall. Zheng Jing inside the earthen wall stared at Zhu Youzhen deadly, waiting for his final reaction, but before Zhu Youzhen could open his mouth to order the guards to stop or take Zheng Jing down, the first guard with a knife to rush in froze.
A faint light slashed across the guard's neck, leaving a neat line of blood at the guard's throat.
The Phantom didn't stop long, and before the other guards could react, the Phantom quickly shuttled through the crowd, and a transparent blade appeared on his wrist, drawing a beautiful line in the air, slashing through the throats of each of the guards.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! A second later, all the guards' lifeless bodies fell down together, and a slender purple figure stood in the gap in the earthen wall, his cold gaze instantly locked on Zheng Jing, and then turned to Ming Sizong, who was wearing a striking dragon robe.
"Whoosh-" The man's feet turned into an arrow, and the light blade on his wrist stabbed straight towards Ming Sizong's throat!
"Girl, stop her!" Zheng Jing shouted, and immediately pulled Ming Sizong's body to hide behind Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin also immediately raised the sword in his hand, but the attacking assassin did not take her in his eyes and directly met her.
Just when the weapons of the two were about to meet, suddenly! Xiao Lin's body, which was in front of Zheng Jing, was like a ball of water vapor, and with a "bang", it actually dissipated.
At the same time, a cold object landed on the assassin's neck from behind, and the assassin's body froze instantly.
"How did you know this guy was going to show up?" Xiao Lin's voice appeared behind the assassin, and she tossed the stand-in talisman to Zheng Jing and asked curiously.
Zheng Jing shrugged his shoulders at Xiao Lin: "Do you still need to think about this?" I told you to secretly kill William, but you told me that he was dead when you went, and if someone hadn't done it, could he have killed himself? ”
Zheng Jing turned his head to look at the assassin who had been put on his neck with Xiao Lin's sword, this was a beautiful woman, although she lowered her head, her whole face was hidden in the shadow of the hood of an assassin's standard equipment, but Zheng Jing still thought so at first glance when he saw her, and then a short line of information appeared in front of him.
Hades, Clearance C-level, Belongs to the world??? , Plane Mission Record???
Well, although I don't know what method she used to hide her information, but this is not very important, since Xiao Lin told him that William had people kill him when he came back from Europe, Zheng Jing knew that there must be a plane merchant he didn't know was hiding in the shadows, and wanted to be a lurking poisonous snake like him. Zheng Jing would never allow him to have a yellow bird behind him when he played this kind of role, so he had to lure this person out and kill him, compared to his own life, it was impossible to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
As soon as his hands were closed, just as Zheng Jing was about to use alchemy to burn this assassin called "Immortal", the Immortal in front of him suddenly raised his head! The two cold pupils were like two sharp swords piercing Zheng Jing's heart, making him tremble.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Ying quickly raised her arm, and the transparent light blade on her wrist actually held the extremely sharp flying sword in Xiao Lin's hand, and at the same time, a transparent light blade actually appeared on the wrist of her other hand, and suddenly raised it and swung it forward!
"Boom!" Zheng Jing's head was instantly slashed out, and then he fell heavily to the ground, his eyes still wide in surprise.
"Hmph." After beheading Zheng Jing with one blow, he immediately turned around, and continued to fight with Xiao Lin without any delay, as early as when Zheng Jing and William were fighting, she knew that he would not die if he stabbed Zheng Jing's heart, in this case, it should be okay to even cut off your head together, right?
The two transparent light blades drew a gorgeous arc in the air, and under the flexible but fierce attack of the underworld, Xiao Lin was a little unable to resist with a flying sword, and watched the underworld begin to approach Ming Sizong, at this moment......
"Hey, I hate a violent woman like you the most, can't you be honest with me?"
What the!? When I heard the voice from behind, I was shocked, and before I could react, my body was suddenly wrapped in a flame!
Zheng Jing moved his newly grown head, and there was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, saying that this function was really a little uncomfortable.
