Out of the gate of the Chu Palace, Nangong Mo looked up at the blue sky, it was a rare good weather. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven the street outside the gate of the Chu Wangfu has been newly decorated, and the occasional passers-by seem to be full of festivity. It's just that these people don't know how much bloodshed and killing hidden under such joy and peace that ordinary people can't see.

"Is Stardanger back?"

The guard who followed behind Nangong Mo said in a low voice: "Princess Qiqi, the Star Danger Commander didn't come back last night, and it seems that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not over yet. ”

Nangong Mo frowned slightly, Lin Changyun did confess a lot of hidden places in the rivers and lakes last night, of course, there may be more places that Lin Changyun didn't even know. But she thought it should be about the same before dawn, "Go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division." ”

"Yes."

When they arrived at the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Nangong Xu and the others really hadn't come back yet. The men and horses that were brought out last night have not yet returned. The deputy general who stayed behind told Nangong Mo that he had indeed arrested a lot of people last night, and they had gone to a few places to collect the corpses. However, when it was almost dawn, I found a stronghold that was said to hide many masters, in the slum alleys of the outer city. Nangong Xu took someone over again.

"Check it out." Nangong Mo rubbed his eyebrows, turned around again and walked in the direction of the outer city.

The guard was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Your Majesty is ......" After all, the most important thing now is His Majesty's safety and the orderly conduct of the birthday banquet. Nangong Mo said: "With Jun Mo here, don't worry." Even if you're out of town, it's time to come back before dawn. ”

"Yes."

It is really a troublesome thing to exterminate these people who are hiding in the city. First of all, you must not disturb the people, especially the envoys of the nations who live in the city. If this nonsense reached the ears of those messengers, it would be enough to make the neighbors laugh for a whole year. Moreover, if there is civil strife in Jinling City soon after the emperor ascends the throne, it is very easy to cause instability in the people's hearts. So Nangong Mo and Nangong Xu meant to try to get rid of these people before dawn. Nangong Xu was busy with people all night last night, and he hasn't gone back until this time, obviously he has encountered hard stubble, and Nangong Mo has to feel worried.

Not far from the slum alley mentioned by the adjutant general of the Terracotta Division, I saw that the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division blocked two nearby streets. But today the city is lively, even the people of the slums have mostly gone to join in the fun, and there are not many people nearby. Seeing Nangong Mo coming over with someone, someone immediately stepped forward to greet him, "I've seen the princess." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows in some surprise, it turned out that he was still an acquaintance, "*, why are you here?" "He remembers, * in the army, not in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, right?

* Scratching his head and laughing, "Aren't you going to enter the palace for a banquet today?" Several of us were in the city, and General Chen sent us to give General Nangong a shot. Nangong Mo nodded, "Or is General Chen thoughtful, what's going on inside?" * said in a low voice: "Most of the murderers have already been ambushed, but a few of them are particularly powerful, and they have been suppressed in a courtyard at the end of the alley by General Nangong." The princess was relieved that she didn't disturb many people. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go over and take a look first." ”

* Even if he didn't dare, he recruited a soldier to lead the way for Nangong Mo to see them leave before returning to his post.

It is natural that Xingwei and Jian Qiuyang will not be ordinary people who can be helpless, and when Nangong Mo passed, he really saw many people surrounding a dilapidated courtyard at the end of the alley. The rooftops and trees around the houses were full of soldiers with bows and arrows, and it was obvious that the other party would shoot thousands of arrows through the heart as soon as they showed up.

"Big brother."

Nangong Xu was frowning at the courtyard in front of him, there was no particularly good commanding height around, this courtyard was also made of rare earth and stones in the city, and the penetration of bows and arrows was not enough at all. The people in the courtyard are also rare masters, unless the other party shows his head, the bow and arrow can't help the other party.

Nangong Xu looked back at her and frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

Nangong Mo said: "I went to the Five Cities Terracotta Division, I heard that your side is not finished yet." What's going on? ”

Jian Qiuyang pointed to the inside and said, "There are several masters of different races inside, and it is not very clear which country it is, and those small countries in the west and south are chaotic for a while, and it is impossible to distinguish for a while." However, the kung fu is very powerful and weird, and many of our people have died. Xingwei fought with one of them, and the other took a sword and retreated into the courtyard and refused to come out. Star Danger was also injured. Moreover, there are people who can use poison, and only then several people have been bitten by poisonous snakes and scorpions. Very powerful. ”

Xingwei leaned against the eaves on the side, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said indifferently: "I'm fine, that person's martial arts should be higher than mine." ”

"Taller than you?" Nangong Mo was a little shocked, Nangong Mo might have been able to win Xingwei back then, but in the past few years, she has not made much progress in martial arts, but Xingwei has been practicing hard every day. Now she doesn't dare to say that she can definitely defeat the star danger.

Xingwei nodded, "That person was a little light at first, so he was injured. Flesh wound. ”

Nangong Mo looked at Nangong Xu, "What's the difficulty?" ”

Jian Qiuyang frowned and said, "The other party took the hostages inside. ”

"Who?"

Jian Qiuyang said: "A pair of sons and daughters of the head of the Yang family. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Mo was also a little embarrassed, "How can it be so coincidental?" ”

Jian Qiuyang snorted lightly: "What's the coincidence?" The Yang family also hid people, and the two children were held hostage by the people who lived in the Yang family last night, and the last two groups of people fell into the hands of these people. Two sisters and brothers who are only fifteen or sixteen years old. Nangong Xu said lightly: "Don't worry, I gave them a quarter of an hour." If you don't come out after a quarter of an hour... I have my own way of getting them out. ”

Jian Qiuyang said with a smile: "General Nangong, this place is not convenient to set fires. "If you set a fire to it, it will attract the attention of others, and it may cause unrest.

Nangong Xu said: "Set fire? Don't. It's just an abandoned and dilapidated house, and since they don't come out, they will tear it down. ”

Jian Qiuyang looked at a strange car that had been prepared not far away, and many soldiers holding thin rope hooks and other things that were almost the thickness of a child's wrist, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Pointing to the strange-shaped thing, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a catapult, right?" "A catapult for a siege is used to build a courtyard? Use a steam engine to crack nuts.

"Improved, too small to be used for siege." Nangong Xudao.

"So, you're going to smash the house?" Jian Qiuyang raised his eyebrows and asked. Moreover, boulders falling from the sky may also smash the people in the house. It depends on how many catapults and stones Nangong Xu has. General Nangong has always won with wit, but this time it is rare to see the rude and direct.

Nangong Xu said: "If they insist, I plan to do so." ”

Xue Bin, who was standing on the side as a background, finally couldn't help but say, "General Nangong, there are still hostages." ”

Nangong Xu said: "The Yang family's private possession of assassins is also a capital crime. ”

...... "So you don't care about the life or death of those siblings?" We thought you backed down for the safety of the hostages. Actually, I went to prepare the tools, right?

"The people of the Central Plains are really ruthless!"

Nangong Xu and the others could not lower their voices to speak, and the people in the courtyard were all masters, so they could naturally hear it. A very strange voice sounded, and a dark shadow rushed out of the room.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Nangong Xu gave the order without hesitation, and the surrounding archers immediately opened their bows and released arrows, and hundreds of feathered arrows shot at the black shadow in unison. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black flashed and immediately flashed behind the pillar under the eaves a few feet behind him. Hundreds of arrows were fixed not far behind where he had just stood. Obviously, if it weren't for the fast flash, the man in black would have been able to turn into a hedgehog in no time.

The person hiding behind the pillar suddenly didn't dare to show his head, but scolded angrily: "The people of the Central Plains will only... Do you deceive more or less? You don't want those two imps dead? ”

Nangong Xu was not interested in his words, and commanded loudly: "Prepare." ”

"Yes, General!" The soldiers behind him replied in unison.

"Attack!"

Nangong Xu's voice was extremely cold and hard, and there was no room for turnaround.

Around the courtyard, three or four trebuchets that had been prepared for a long time started at the same time. The soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division have all been on the battlefield before, and the trebuchet is very good. Except for the first two times that need to be calibrated, it misses or falls on the open space in the yard. The rest landed on the roof of the courtyard without any doubt. Stones fell from the sky and immediately smashed the roof to pieces. The soldiers who had been prepared around them quickly threw ropes with huge hooks to the various parts of the house. The other end was put on the horse. With a flick of the whip, several horses galloped forward from both directions, and the house, which had been abandoned for many years and had been hit by boulders, suddenly collapsed.

At the same time, several black shadows rushed out from inside, and Nangong Xu said in a deep voice: "Go on!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The rain of arrows slanted out again, and immediately someone fell to the ground. But these people are all top masters in the end, and the environment of this alley is not really able to arrange thousands of troops to besiege it. There are still a few fish that have escaped in embarrassment. One of them carried a young girl in his hand, blocked her in front of him, and shouted, "Stop! Otherwise, I'll pinch her to death right away! ”

The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she had long been frightened. The appearance of wearing gorgeous clothes and beautiful decorations has long become embarrassed, and at this time he can only cry with whimpering, and he doesn't even dare to cry.

Nangong Xu squinted slightly, and finally raised his hand to signal to stop. The archers obeyed the order, and the three surviving people breathed a sigh of relief, but when they turned back, they only stumped the corpses of their companions behind them and countless feathered arrows. I couldn't help but feel angry and a chill in my heart, they were all masters of the Megatron side, and they never thought that the Great Xia Imperial Court could have many top masters. Even if I have heard that the King of Chu is very powerful, but so what? No matter how powerful the King of Chu is, there is only one person, and they don't have to be afraid of two fists and four hands. It's just that, obviously, this sentence should be left to themselves. Before they even saw the face of the King of Chu, they had already suffered heavy casualties by a group of soldiers who could not be called to know much martial arts at all.

Nangong Mo and the others only saw clearly at this time that none of the three people who were still alive looked like they were from the Central Plains, nor did they look like people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. One of them was short, dark-skinned, very thin, and had a face that seemed to be skinny and bone-like, with only a pair of big eyes that were particularly eye-catching. The other two are taller, one has a pale complexion, a deep contour, and a good appearance, but between the eyebrows, it gives people a feeling that they are not good. The remaining person was mediocre in appearance, but he had some similarities with the appearance of the envoy of South Vietnam, and Nangong Mo guessed that this person should be from a small country adjacent to South Vietnam, even if he was not from South Vietnam. If such a group of people were in normal times, it would be easy to attract people's attention. However, this time is more special, and the comings and goings of foreigners in the Jinling Imperial City are not so easy to attract attention.

The tall man pinching the girl still had a wound on his left arm, although he was dressed in black, but with Nangong Mo's eyesight, he could clearly see that the blood was still leaching out, and it had soaked the sleeve on his left arm. He can still do nothing as if he doesn't care at all, obviously his endurance is amazing.

Nangong Mo asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Let us go!" The man said coldly.

A slight smile appeared on Nangong Mo's lips, "Are you joking?" ”

The foreigner obviously couldn't understand why he was laughing, and replied very seriously, "I didn't tell a joke." ”

Next to him, Xue Bin laughed sullenly and said, "But we think you're joking." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, and immediately pinched the neck of the girl in his hand tighter, "You guys are laughing at me?!" I'm really going to kill her! ”

The girl's painful struggle to be pinched by him, but this small struggle was tantamount to shaking a tree for the other party.

Chen Yu said lazily: "If you use a little more strength, we won't have to worry about pinching her to death." ”

Nangong Mo glanced at the girl, and thought of this girl surnamed Yang with some hindsight, it seems that she should be regarded as the cousin of her senior brother in terms of blood? However, the senior brother has been back in Jinling for so long, and even had contact with Mrs. Su more than ten years ago, but he has never returned to the Yang family, and he doesn't want to contact the people of the Yang family.

"Three, you have two choices. First, let her go and come with us. Second, kill her, and we're killing you. Nangong Mo's voice sounded faintly.

The three of them suddenly turned to one side, glanced at each other, and the thin man asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

"Nangong Mo." Nangong Mo said lightly.

In fact, these people didn't know who Nangong Mo was, but fortunately, they were not stupid, and they reacted immediately, "You are the princess of Chu?" ”

Nangong Mo nodded slightly, "Exactly." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, but the thin man spoke, "You let us go, and we will leave Great Xia immediately." "They all came for the million taels of gold, and they didn't take the Great Xia Imperial Court seriously. Because in their own country, they don't take the royal family very seriously. However, he obviously missed the power of the Great Xia court.

Nangong Mo shook his head calmly, refusing cleanly, "Impossible." ”
