The night is deep, the mountain is as silent as a dead village, a light wanders in the village, like a ghostly fire, accompanied by more sounds, startled three or two dog barks.

Twilight and Huyan Charlie entered the village, bypassed the husband, and found the Zheng family's small courtyard by the moonlight. Zheng Angelica is in the village, and on weekdays, there are often family members who are in emergency situations knock on the door at night to ask for help, so there are no dogs in the hospital.

Twilight touched a pile of haystacks along the base of the wall and reached out to help Huyan Charlie up, when the boy frowned and glanced back at her.

Her hands are hot!

Twilight stood in the shadow of the grass, her face was indistinguishable, and her skills over the haystack were agile, but her breath was a little heavy after landing.

The moonlight spilled over the wall into the courtyard, laying a clear frost on the ground, and the girl stepped on the frost and walked against the moon, steadily reached the outside of the east house, and knocked lightly on the door.

The knock on the door was very soft, and after a long time, someone in the house turned on the lamp, and the glimmer of light came through the window into the courtyard, and the figure came in a shirt, and then a squeak was heard.

The door opened.

*

At this time, thirty miles away, the blazing fire illuminated half of the imperial city as bright as day, in the evening the holy driver led the imperial forest army out of the palace, went to the Shengjing Palace to see the hundred officials were released halfway, and did not rush back to their respective mansions, the official mansions in the inner city were on fire one after another, the private collection of the century-old surnamed Hao family was very rich, the fire burned from evening to night, until the middle of the night, the fire was still strong.

There was a shortage of soldiers and horses on the streets, and the carriages coming and going from various prefectures blocked several streets, and the ladies and daughters of the official families who had escaped death crowded into the carriages in an attempt to avoid trouble in the Zhuangzi outside the city, but no one could get out -- outside the inner city gate, the Imperial Forest Army and the Northwest Army had been facing each other for nearly two hours.

Two hours ago, Long Wuwei and the generals of the Praetorian Guard entered the palace to be ordered, and the man known as the god of war sat on the ruins of the Yongshou Palace covered in dust and looked at the red glow in the sky.

The Praetorian Guards surrounded the Heng Wangfu and the Jiangbei Navy Governor's Mansion, but they did not expect to meet the Royal Forest Army on the road, the two sides were killed on the long street, a general of the Royal Forest Army tied the Heng King on a horse and sent it out of the inner city, but the carriage of the Governor's Mansion was accidentally surrounded, and the Praetorian Guard fought hard to kill the Royal Forest Army, but found that there was no one in the carriage, and it was only a box.

The Praetorian Guards, who were shocked by the plan, hurried back to the governor's mansion, searched the mansion, and found that everyone was missing, and hurried into the palace.

After a while, a fast horse galloped in the palace, and the young general on the horse handed out a secret order. The general of the Praetorian Guard looked shocked when he saw it, but he did not dare to doubt it, and hurriedly received the military order to lead the people to the west of the city.

At the same time, an army galloped out of the palace, thousands of soldiers dressed in iron armor and black robes, galloping like the desert black wind, the hooves were cold, stepping through the long street, like playing a war song! Before the black wind, a man pulled a bow and rode a horse, without wearing battle armor, and hunted with his sleeves to the sky, like a black dragon straight into the sky!

The man was so imposing that he startled the carriage blocking the long street from a distance, and the horsemen of the various provinces hurriedly rushed to dodge, and the whip did not know which of the horses in the house, and the horse raised its hooves and neighed, and the horsemen were thrown away, and watched the horse-drawn carriage spin in place and rush towards the northwest army.

A woman's panicked cry came from the carriage, and a maid lifted the curtain to call for help, and everyone who saw it gasped - look at the family flag erected behind the car, this carriage was actually from the Ningguo Mansion, and the one sitting on the car was the lord of Ning Zhao!

The man who led the army did not rein in his horse when he saw the flag, but only listened to the sound of swishing in his ears, and a cold arrow broke away from the string, piercing the horse's neck!

Blood splashed bluestone, horses overturned on their backs, cries were lost, and the voices of people on both sides of the long street suddenly stopped.

The horseman rolled and crawled to dodge, the army galloped by, the man's cold side face swept in front of him, suddenly remembered that year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the soldier returned to the court, the man brought back the fierce yellow wind at the border pass, and scattered the fat powder incense on the long street along the road.

Now, the scorching yellow wind is in the past, the golden feather bow has replaced the divine arm bow, three arrows roaring in the air, with the power of King Kong, splitting mountains and rivers to break the sky, one arrow to break the city tower, one arrow to kill the guards, one arrow to nail the body of the Royal Forest Army general who fell down the city tower to the city wall!

The green tile rubble fell with a clatter, was trampled by the horses' hooves, and the slag dust swept through the city gate with the wind. At the other end of the city gate, Bu Xihuan sat on a horse, and behind him were three thousand Imperial Forest Army and the royal forest army family members gathered from all over the outer city.

The evening breeze is slightly cold, the green dust is like a horse, Yuan Xiu Le Ma, across the city gate and Bu Xi Huan look at each other from afar.

"Your Majesty is really calm."

"I am so anxious, but I know that this time, Aiqing will definitely force me all the way, and I have to think about it thoroughly."

The two armies confronted each other, the swords were cold, the murderous spirit was majestic, and the two equally excellent men in the world looked at each other across the door, and their attitudes were quite like idle talk.

The long street was lonely, the green dust rolled the horse's hooves, and the horse kicked the bluestone, a little uneasy.

"Thoughtful?" Yuan Xiu pulled his bow and pointed at Bu Xihuan, angry, "Hu Yanhao has long had ill intentions towards her, he is bent on taking her out of the customs, you are delayed here, taking into account the thoughtfulness on the road, have you ever thought about her thoughtfulness at the moment?" ”

Bu Xihuan smiled faintly, overlooking the city from afar, her eyes were as bright as the moon, and the sunset did not invade, and she said softly: "She is a well-known British and wise governor in the world, wise and clever is not ordinary people, and her ability to perceive people's hearts is unmatched." If Hu Yanhao has a bad heart, he will suffer hardship. ”

The sunset shines on the imperial city, the smoke and dust are like twilight, the man's sleeves are red and rolled in the wind, his voice is leisurely, lined with a shallow smile, and the belief between the eyebrows is very warm.

Yuan Xiu's heart felt prickly for a long time, he was silent for a long time, and laughed mockingly, "Your Majesty believes in her, why bother chasing her?" You might as well go back to the palace and wait, and the minister will go to rescue her back. ”

Bu Xihuan took his gaze back and said lightly: "Don't work Aiqing, my beloved wife, I should go and save it myself." ”

Beloved wife?

Yuan Xiu sneered coldly, angry like a torrent, wanting to swallow mountains and rivers, and asked loudly: "The king of a country, for a woman to abandon half of the country, don't you think that her move to join the army and enter the court is not shocking enough, and you want her to be condemned by the whole world, to be impeached by the courtiers and the historians, and to leave the stigma of red face and troubles in history, and to be despised forever?!" ”

The soldiers have been out, the long arrows have been drawn, the grace and righteousness have been extinct, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister does not need to be taken care of, Yuan Xiuyang bowed and pointed to the step of Xihuan, and his bearing was awe-inspiring.

Bu Xihuan's face was very pale, and a little bit of laziness could still be seen between his eyebrows, and he said as if it were true or false: "Well, I'm waiting." ”

"......" waiting?

"Wait to see how many people in this world are shameless, and feel that I owe him if I abandon this half of the country." Bu Xihuan raised his eyes unhurriedly and looked at the inner city, his expression was careless, but his words were striking, "I have established the ambition of a Ming monarch since I was a child, and I hope to remove the power of my relatives, pro-government in the court, and also govern the Qingming Dynasty, so that the country and the people will be safe." I am not a faint king, the Manchu Dynasty is not ignorant of civil and military, but as a wall-to-wall view, the emperor can be abolished, the country can change hands, and the glory must be guaranteed, this is the minister of the court! When I was concerned about the society, no one regarded me as the king, and the day I abandoned the country and left, I remembered that the country was mine, isn't it ridiculous? If you are disloyal to your ministers, you should ask for the grace of the king, so many ministers, just abandon them! ”

"As for the people of the world, you might as well wait. Look at whether it will be difficult for me to become a master in this life, and see whether the name she will leave in history in the future is a red face or a three-foot blue sky! "A city gate separates the majestic palace, but it can't separate the sound of the mighty emperor.

In the evening of this day, the Yongshou Palace collapsed, the Shengjing City was in turmoil, the man sat on a horse in a broken clothes, and made a statement in front of the two armies, asking the world to remember - in the name of the emperor.

"It's too early to say this, it's not too late to get out of Shengjing!" Before the emperor's voice was extinguished, a great sound was born, bringing a strong wind and thunder!

There was only one line left in the red glow in the sky, and the killing machine came from the city, piercing the sunset and startling the royal horse.

Bu Xihuan stroked the horse's mane, Li Chaorong rode out of the horse and raised his sword to protect the car, the breeze sword just picked out and collided head-on with the gale, the arrow wind was extremely domineering, with the power to break through the clouds, Li Chaorong's face changed in shock!

Yuan Xiu was wounded twice outside the inner city gate and in the secret hall of the palace today, and he still has such the power to open the bow!

When Li Chaorong was frightened, the arrow wind had already bent the tip of the sword, and a small spark was scratched, which was close to Bu Xihuan! When Li Chaorong turned around, he saw that Bu Xihuan's eyebrows were illuminated, like a bright moon reflecting into the bright pool, and he was shocked by the spark in an instant!

"Your Majesty beware!" Li Chaorong jumped up, and when he turned back, he suddenly felt that the sword qi was different!

The sword was in his hand, and the sword qi actually left the sword, swinging slowly! In this swing, the sparks dispersed, rode the sword wind straight up, entered the galaxy of thousands of miles, and bloomed brilliantly in the awe-inspiring killing machine, confusing people's minds. Li Chaorong's mind was lost, the internal force was chaotic, after the volley fell, he raised his sword and raised his head, and saw the arrow shooting into the starlight in the sky, and in an instant, the sound of the sound was endless, and he was forced to the city gate with the remaining strength of the sword qi.

A line of red glow swallows the city tower, thousands of troops and horses are not visible, only to see the wind sweeping the remnants, hitting the breeze sword qi, the remnant arrows are flushed with a layer of demon red, the moment the two internal forces strangle, the sparks and the remnants of the arrows are turned into ashes and powder, the wind destroys and falls, and the silence is silent.

There was no sound inside and outside the city gate for a long time, Bu Xihuan still caressed the horse's mane, Li Chaorong turned around, and his surprise was hard to dispel.

The person who has just borrowed the sword qi of the clear wind should be the saint, the sword qi is ignorant, the spark is thoughtless, and he can control it as he wishes, and he can't do it without the realm of perfection, and the work of the saint is really great!

"Not only do I have to leave, but I also have to take the people behind me out of the city together, Aiqing might as well stop and watch." Bu Xihuan lazily raised his hand, and one of the generals immediately rode away.

Behind the Imperial Forest Army, the people drove oxen and horse-drawn carts, and the carts were full of people, some carrying bags, some carrying children, dragging their families, and most of them looked up at the sky that was burned red by the fire, and their expressions were uneasy.

The good ones suddenly want to leave their hometowns, like homeless people, and no one wants to give up, but the troubled times are coming, and it is difficult to live.

But because of the suddenness of leaving, it took some time for the people to pack their bags and bring their families, and the holy car and the Imperial Forest Army have been waiting, and the gate of the outer city has been occupied by the Royal Forest Army, just waiting for the people to arrive and go out of the city together. But at this time, there were still people who had not arrived, but Yuan Xiu had already led his own guards to chase after him, and he waited for a moment to have more variables.

The carriage and horses slowly retreated, and he looked at Yuan Xiu with a smile, and there were no waves on his face, but he took the initiative to say: "I have sent someone to take King Heng out, and the rest of the people have nothing to do with life and death in my opinion, but for Yu Aiqing, the old general of Hua, I am afraid that it is not an unrelated person." ”

As he spoke, a person was tied up in the Imperial Forest Army, who was Yuan Xiu's maternal grandfather.

The sky is getting dark, the city fire has not been extinguished, and the black smoke is overflowing the city tower, like wolf smoke, and the cold wind is like a knife.

The two armies treated each other strictly, and the two most prestigious men in the world looked at each other through the city gate, choking on the wolf smoke, and the voices of the people were silent, and the killing intent was penetrating.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Xiu's voice came from the city gate, calm, but cold, like a cold knife hidden under the frozen quiet lake.

"Retreat!"

*

At this time, the west of the city.

A few figures took advantage of the night to touch into a deep alley, and the wind sent a faint bloody aura through the alley, and the blood shadow paused, and then jumped into an old tree, and jumped down with a murderous aura.

"Is there water in the house?" Pothos asked in the black dialect of the rivers and lakes.

"Yuan Xiu really has the blood of the Yuan family in his bones! The governor took him to our cellar, but he didn't save the adult, and turned around and took our house! The blood shadow scolded, they disguised themselves to leave the house, and there were carriages from the official mansion everywhere along the way, and they mixed in the crowd of the maids and maids to touch the west of the city, although the journey was slower, it was quite smooth, and they all arrived at the door of the house, and there were variables!

"Where does the secret passage lead?" Yao Huiqing asked.

Blood Shadow heard that she was in a hurry, so she said truthfully: "Guanyin Temple in the outer city." ”

"That's bad, the saint is in danger!" Yao Huiqing said worriedly, "It will take some time for the families of the soldiers to leave the city, and I haven't waited yet, so the holy car must not have left at this time." Hou Ye raised troops to clear this place, what is the plan? If it's just to vent anger, if not...... At this time, I am afraid that there are soldiers and horses going to the Guanyin Temple from the secret passage! If the Hou Ye leads his troops to guard the gate of the inner city, the saint is afraid that he will be besieged! ”

Yao Huiqing looked up at the sky, and the deep alleys covered the city gate in the distance, but they couldn't cover the sky that was burned red by fire. The old alley is deep, there are no lights, only to see a cold moon rising quietly on the other side of the sky, this scene makes people remember the night when they entered the Hou Mansion, and still remember that night although the road is long, fortunately there is a bright moon in the sky, and now the cold moon is like a hook, has been covered with blood.

Although she only had a one-sided relationship with that person, she still remembered that night a bright candle reflected in the west window, and that day she was still leaning on the couch against the heroic man in armor, with a sick face that made people sigh, depressed and frowning. At a glance, she could already see that his heart was determined and his feelings would be desperate.

For the sake of ambition and not afraid of self-destruction, there is a little bit of determination in the temperament, which is in line with the saying "Most people in the world are loveless".

That person is not afraid of self-destruction when he is determined to serve the country, and he is not afraid of killing the king when he is determined to take revenge......

The wind blows through the deep alleys, whining and sighing, long as a sigh.

A fist sound came, interrupting Yao Huiqing's thoughts, and the blood shadow withdrew the fist that smashed against the wall, and endured the idea of going outside the city to report the news. As soon as he leaves, these women and children can only rely on the protection of the pothos alone, and the pothos will take Xiao Fang first, and the rest of the people will be difficult to protect themselves. Moreover, it is useless to report the news, there are few soldiers in the Royal Forest, and there are a lot of troops to guard the city gate and protect the people, even if the master knows that there is danger, there are not many adjustable soldiers, even if the Shenjia Army and the Northwest Army are around, if the Praetorian Guard Army in the rear is changed to kill the family members of the Royal Forest Army, the army will be chaotic!

Tut! It's really not easy to get out of the city!

"Are there any other exits to the secret passage?" Yao Huiqing asked.

"Yes!"

"How many? Where do they lead? The woman's gaze is as quiet as a lake, the wind is about to move, and the lake waves are not born, "I have a plan, although I am not sure, but I can try!" ”

……

After an hour of tea, in the Rong Ji antique shop, Yang took Cui Ling and Cui Xiu two little girls to look at the wind outside the door, the candlelight from the house saw the undried blood on the doorstep, and the corpses in the courtyard were all in the eyes, and the two little girls grabbed Yang's sleeves tightly and did not say a word.

In the room, a piece of blood-stained yellow paper was spread out on the table, and the ink on the paper had not dried, and a secret passage was drawn. The picture is sketchy, and you can only see the entrance and exit of the secret passage and the place where the fork in the road leads. The blood shadow was stuck in the women's pile, pushed the secret road map to Yao Huiqing, and said: "The corpses in the courtyard are cold, and the soldiers and horses below are probably already halfway away, we have to hurry!" ”

The secret passage was open, he had just inspected it, and there were indeed people inside, but I don't know how many, the blood in front of the door had not dried up, but the corpse was already cold, and the people below were walking halfway.

"Then it depends on Master Luo." Yao Huiqing raised her eyes and said, "Quickly go and pass the message, let people take the waist card of the Governor's Mansion to the Shengyuan Dart Bureau, and ask the head of the dart head to take the dart master to rescue the driver in three ways!" There are two forks here, which are in the middle of the secret passage, and the dart master can enter from them in two ways, and attract the guards with sounds, delaying the time for the guards to leave the Guanyin Temple! The secret passage is narrow, the blades are difficult to fight, there will be no big casualties, the Praetorian Guard will not take long to see through the purpose of the dart division, they have military orders, do not dare to fight for a long time, will retreat quickly, so please also leave the dart division to the Guanyin Temple to ambush, the enemy is many and I are outnumbered, there is no need to fight to the death, the secret passage is narrow, and the entry and exit are restricted, so if you attack it with drugs, you can control the enemy with strange moves! ”

After a plan, everyone praised it.

Yao Huiqing had saved Twilight Qing, but the calmness of that night did not impress the blood shadow too deeply, and it was only at this moment that he looked at Yao Huiqing seriously, and was somewhat convinced by Twilight Qing's evaluation of the military advisor.

Shengyuan Dart Game! Why didn't he think of it?

Shengyuan Dart Bureau is the first dart game in Jiangbei, the dart masters are all people from the rivers and lakes, there are many people, and the martial arts are strong, if they are willing to help, it is the best. Yao Huiqing even remembered that there was such a good drug in the Shengyuan Dart Bureau, did the smartest women in the world gather in the Governor's Mansion?

The Governor has the grace of reinvention for the second master of the Shengyuan Dart Bureau, and I think they will not refuse - of course, they can't help it.

The blood shadow flashed a ruthless meaning in his eyes, and he heard Yao Huiqing open his mouth again.

"When Master Luo comes back from the message, I will enter the secret passage. Guanyin Temple is the closest to the city gate, we had better go out from the Guanyin Temple, if we go to other forks, rush to the city gate in the hour is afraid of variables, in order to prevent dragging down the holy car, we had better go out from the Guanyin Temple, so the war over there can not be delayed for too long. I don't know how many Praetorian Guards have entered the secret passage, but it is foreseeable that it is difficult to control the enemy with medicine, if the Praetorian Guard retreats, they will fight again with the two dart divisions that follow in the secret passage, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win or lose for a while, and once the exit is blocked, we will not be able to get out. Therefore, Master Luo still needs to pass on another letter, know the saint, and hope to send troops into the Guanyin Temple, and fight with the dart master on both sides, this battle can be won! At this hour, the people who went south with the army should have also arrived, and as soon as I got out of the Guanyin Temple, the holy car could go out of the city. ”

Yao Huiqing said, put away the secret passage diagram, and approached the candle flame to ignite it. Although the saint wants to abandon the city, it is impossible for all the people in Shengjing City to withdraw, and there will always be some people who will be used as spies in the future, so Luo Cheng should be able to spread the letter.

Without further ado, the plan was certain, and the blood shadow immediately went out of the room and disappeared into the night silently.

Yang took his two daughters and retreated into the house, and the green pothos went to the door to guard, and everyone waited.

"Have you read a book of soldiers?" While waiting, Xiao Fang asked.

Yao Huiqing smiled, "It's just a shallow plan, I don't know how to fight." ”

Although her father is a military attaché, the military books are all in the study, where can she read the military books? It's just that I'm trapped in the boudoir, having nothing to do all day long, and my mind is more detailed and thoughtful than others.

"If a woman can really become an official, I am afraid that there are not as many strategists in the world as you." Xiao Fang's face was still cold, but she couldn't hide her appreciation. She is also a general, she has never read a book of soldiers, so she is not as smart as Yao Huiqing, she is also a thoughtful person, she is mostly worried in her heart, and she has fallen behind in today's competition.

No one spoke in the room, and the blood shadow came and went only a cup of tea, and as soon as he came back, he said, "Go!" Enter the Secret Passage! ”

Everyone hurriedly walked out of the house and went to the backyard warehouse, Yao Huiqing walked behind, looked up at the sky, and was inexplicably a little panicked.

She should have thought about all the variables, hoping it will go well......

The personnel are exhausted, and the rest can only be resigned to the fate of heaven.
