In the dark hut, a lonely figure sat quietly, like an old monk in a steady, standing still. The man hung his head and looked at the hot tea in front of him for a long time, thoughtful. The tea is emitting hot air, and the display in the room is fresh and chic, showing the owner's elegant and dusty state of mind.

"Gaba" There was a crisp sound of clenching fists, and the man raised his head, unexpectedly without the demeanor of a noble person, and his face was full of violence and fierceness, which instantly ruined the peace in the room. He is Ma Yuanyi.

From the moment the victims frantically poured out of the city, Ma Yuanyi already knew that he was defeated! He immediately cut off contact with all his men and quietly hid in the last hiding place he had prepared. This hut was set up by his own hands more than a year ago, and no one knows about it anymore, so that he can command today's battle of the dead nearby. It's just that he still miscalculated, because he never thought that he would lose, and this place would become a trap for him to survive.

A monstrous hatred welled up in his heart, could it be that the fortune of the Han family was still not exhausted? Otherwise, how could the miraculous plan that he had painstakingly calculated for many years be a failure? His original plan was to select 30,000 sectarians from the Jingyang area, secretly go north, and then join the sects around the imperial capital, and infiltrate the imperial capital in batches and phases, so that the court would not see the slightest clue. After that, with the cooperation of Xu Feng and Feng Zhen, he captured the North Palace at night, first took the head of the Son of Heaven, and then instigated a riot in the whole city to control all the civil and military officials, so that the victory was decided. At that time, he can support a puppet emperor, and hide behind the scenes, driving the Han soldiers and horses to fight to the death with Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao brothers. When both sides lose, it is time for them to come forward to clean up the mess and settle the situation.

Ma Yuanyi had spent several years studying the entire plan, scrutinizing every step of the way, and formulating a preparatory plan, everything can be said to be seamless. However, it was this foolproof plan that has now failed completely.

Just when the city was in turmoil, he could only sit quietly, listening to the shouts and fighting sounds from far and near, listening to the dying wails of his subordinates from time to time, and he could even hear the voices of the Han generals giving orders. Unfortunately, at that time, he could only sit, and he didn't seem to have the strength to lift a finger in his body, because he couldn't do anything.

Clenching his fists hard, he felt the pain of his nails digging into his flesh, but unfortunately this little pain could not distract him from the pain in his heart. God fooled people, although the plan changed again and again, and was forced to launch it in advance, until the victims entered the city, the whole plan was still going very smoothly. As long as it lasts until nightfall, he can gather his men and horses, first provoke chaos in the city, make the city guards anxious and exhausted, and then launch a thunderous night attack with elites, capture the North Palace in one fell swoop, and put the Son of Heaven in the palm of his hand. This was a perfect plan, but how could the situation be reversed in an instant, and he became a turtle in an urn?

No, there must be something that I have neglected! Ma Yuanyi became agitated, simply stood up, and paced back and forth in the room. What's the problem?

He was suddenly shocked, and thought of the night when he fled the imperial capital, that unprecedented ominous feeling, yes! That's it, the root of all the problems started that night, from that traitor's whistleblower.

He gasped heavily, he was almost certain that this traitor must be Tang Zhou, first of all, only a few people knew about his residence in the small courtyard in the east of the city, Tang Zhou was one of them, and secondly, and most importantly, since he escaped from Luoyang until he re-infiltrated the city, he never found a trace of Tang Zhou, he seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this world.

What a mistake! He still admires Tang Zhou very much among his junior disciples, if it weren't for the sudden disaster that night, he would definitely tell him the plan, and maybe he would tell him about this hidden hiding place.

He exhaled, so dangerous! If he really told Tang Zhou, he was afraid that this place would have been surrounded by regiments, and he would definitely die without a place to be buried.

He finally calmed down, the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, the world is impermanent, and the victory or defeat is only a temporary battle, when Emperor Gaozu almost wiped out the entire army several times, it was not a battle, and he was exchanged for the 400-year foundation of the Han Dynasty? In any case, the most important thing for me right now is to save my life. As long as you live, you have a chance to turn over again.

Suddenly, an alarm came to him, and he heard almost inaudible footsteps coming from all sides of the hut, at least nearly a hundred people, all of whom were of extraordinary skill. Otherwise, he would have sensed the slightest abnormality in advance.

Again, the sense of foreboding that night, only this feeling came too late, and he couldn't have had the luck of that night.

Ma Yuanyi took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the long knife. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight bravely! It is impossible for him to fall into the hands of the Son of Heaven alive, not only will he die in the end, but he will also be tortured inhumanely, and he would rather die than be humiliated!

Outside the door, there was a rhythmic sound of gentle knocking, and a crisp voice shouted: "Second uncle, it's me!" Open the door! ”

Ma Yuanyi was stunned.

In the elegant and chic courtyard, an old man was sitting with his head down, and whispered: "Whose land is in Artemisia?" There is no virtuous or foolish soul to gather. Why is the ghost uncle urging? Human life must not be less hesitant. ”

There was a hint of sadness in his words.

"Are you relying on Renyi?" a voice came from behind him abruptly.

The old man raised his head, showing Yi Yi's thin and slender face, he didn't look back, and said lightly: "There has been chaos in the city in the past few days, how dare you come to my mansion?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered by others! ”

The man sneered, "Can I take your words as a mockery of me? If Ziyi's whereabouts can be easily discovered by others, then am I still worthy of being the head of the twelve earthly branches? ”

Yi Yi sighed softly: "You don't have to be careful." People are old and affectionate, and after Ren is gone, my heart is a little confused, and naturally I am not good at talking! ”

Ziyi's heart softened, but his voice was still stiff: "I know you care about my safety, it's really senseless!" ”

"However," his voice finally softened, "Renyi's death is entirely for the organization, for the sake of all the brothers, and my heart is not good!" ”

Yi Yi slowly moved his knees, and finally looked at Ziyi with four eyes.

Ziyi's heart was shocked, and he saw that there were still undried tears in B's eyes. This old guy is really old! Where did all the ruthlessness of the year go?

Yi Yi casually raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said quietly: "Okay!" I know what you're thinking, so let's get down to business! If it weren't for the big deal, you wouldn't have come to me at this time! ”

Ziyi nodded slightly and said, "Okay!" I'll be blunt. Although Renichi died, all his layouts have been completed, and this time it can be said that it is a major success! ”

A terrifying light suddenly shot out of Yi Yi's cloudy old eyes: "What did you say! Is it only through the sacrifice of his own brother that he can get back success? Also, don't forget, Xu Yi is still squatting in Luoyang Prison, and his sacrifice is no less than Ren Yi! ”

Ziyi said impatiently: "Can you listen to me?" I was about to talk about it! ”

He paused and said, "The Lord has personally drawn up a plan, and tomorrow night, he will launch the biggest operation in recent years!" The soldiers are divided into two ways, all the way to assassinate Zhang Rang, all the way to rescue Xu Yi! ”

Yi Yi was stunned and said, "Do you want to start it at the same time?" Can you handle it alone? You're not counting on Maoyi, are you? He still doesn't have the ability to do it on his own! ”

Ziyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, how dare I slack off in the plan made by the Lord himself?" Actually, it's the ugly one who just came back! ”

Yi Yi let out a sigh and said: "I see, with him in charge of one of the roads, his strength is no less than yours!" ”

Ziyi smiled bitterly and said, "You don't want to lift me!" It should be me and Mao Yi working together to compare to the strength of the ugly one's group! ”

He sighed, "It's a pity, if Hai Yi hadn't died, tomorrow night's action would have a better chance of success!" Both his master and apprentice are the ultimate masters of long-range assassination! ”

Yi Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "I understand!" The Lord wants to take advantage of the chaos in the city to take the opportunity to mix up the water in the pond and get rid of Zhang Rang, the great enemy! ”

Ziyi sneered: "That's natural, I think at this time, Ma Yuanyi should have either been captured or beheaded!" Tomorrow night's action will only make anyone think that this is a retaliatory act by Tai Ping Dao! ”

Yi Yi thought for a while before saying, "This time we really underestimated that Ma Yuanyi, but we didn't expect him to come up with such an amazing strategy!" If he succeeds, we will be in a state of no return! ”

Ziyi said disdainfully: "So what? Since ancient times, it has been a king and a loser. We underestimated him, and at most went back to lurking. But he underestimated Liu Hong, and the end was death! ”

Yi Yi shook his head and said, "That's not right! We also underestimated Liu Hong, or the people around him. Ma Yuanyi's plan can be said to be a desperate plan, but it was easily cracked in half a day, which is really terrifying! It won't be so easy with us! ”

His cold gaze looked at Ziyi: "Please go to the Lord, just say that it is my meaning, a word ----- check!" Who is giving advice to Liu Hong! ”

Zi nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Lord has ordered Jiayi to personally carry out this matter!" I'm sure there will be news soon! ”

Yi Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "Then, now I only care about three things!" One is the success or failure of tomorrow's action; the second is when Taiping Dao will raise troops; Thirdly! ”

He smiled lightly and said, "Is Ma Yuanyi dead or alive now?" If this person can not die, he can consider taking it for himself! ”

"You're dreaming!" Ma Yuanyi bounced up, and the green tendons on his forehead trembled, "You want me to use it for you?" There's just death! ”

Ma Jun hurriedly said: "Second uncle, how can you speak to my lord like this!" You ......."

"Shut up!" Ma Yuanyi shouted, "Xiaojun, I am your second uncle, how can you eat inside and out!" Gang up with outsiders to earn me! ”

"Earn you?" Nan Ying smiled, but there was an indescribable pity in his smile, "Ma Yuanyi, do you really think of yourself as a character?" At the end of the day, you're nothing more than a pathetic loser! ”

"Nothing, nothing, is the best portrayal of you at the moment!" Nanying mercilessly sarcastically said, "Actually, there should be a lost dog!" You say, what can I earn you? ”

"You!" Ma Yuanyi's eyes were full of murder, but he clearly knew the terrifying strength of the young man in front of him, that was the strong man who made the great sage and good teacher also get injured and escaped, and he alone could take down himself.

He finally withdrew from the murderous intent in his eyes, and said dejectedly: "Since you look down on me so much, why do you still persuade me to submit? ”

"It's easy!" Nan Ying glanced at Ma Jun, "I'm completely looking at the love of his father and son!" They are all my subordinates, and I certainly can't ignore their feelings! ”

Ma Yuanyi lost his voice and said: "What! My eldest brother is also your man? Have they all become officials? ”

Ma Jun shook his head and said, "No! Although we are doing things for the Son of Heaven, we have not been officials, we are the lord's people! ”

He suddenly puffed up his chest and said proudly: "As long as the lord gives an order, my father and I can even die without frowning, what is the rarity of not being an official?" ”

Ma Yuanyi sneered twice, his face full of disbelief: "With my eldest brother's rude and arrogant temperament, he is willing to join your subordinates?" It's unbelievable! ”

Nanying smiled: "There are many things that you can't believe!" Daxian and good teacher, is his old man in good health? I don't think he's going to die from my blow, is he? ”

The corners of Ma Yuanyi's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

Nan Ying said casually: "Gossip Huti, I ordered you to surrender, but it was for the sake of Yuan Kui's father and son to save you!" This reason is enough, now, you can tell your reason, why don't you surrender to me? ”

Ma Yuanyi hissed: "Because I'm not convinced!" I'm defeated! I could have succeeded, but you were just lucky! ”

"What's more!" He sneered, "The Taiping Road incident is imminent, and the Great Han River and Mountain are just a candle flame in the cold wind, which will be extinguished in the snap of a finger!" Victory will still be ours in the end! ”

Ma Jun trembled with anger and said, "Second uncle, you are really a thief!" ”

Nanying suddenly let out a long laugh and said, "It turns out that you are for this reason, and you still believe that Taiping Dao will win the world!" Right? ”

Ma Yuanyi said fearlessly: "Not bad! That's it! ”

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Nanying held out a finger, "One year!" I'm betting with you that Taiping Road will be defeated within a year! If I win, you will never think about it, and you will be honestly loyal to me! ”

Ma Yuanyi's heart trembled, he observed Nan Ying's calm expression, definitely not bluffing, but indeed grasping. But how could he be so sure? It is necessary to know that the millions of people in Taiping Dao, once the army is raised, it can be said that the mountain is roaring and the tsunami is trending, how can they be defeated within a year?

He gritted his teeth and said, "What if you lose?" What will I get? ”

Nanying smiled dumbly and said slowly: "If I lose!" I'll lead the Eagle's Nest 5,000 elite soldiers and put them under your command, do you think it's fair? ”

Ma Jun was shocked and said, "Lord, how can this be? ”

Nanying laughed and Huo Ran got up, looked at Ma Yuanyi with his eyes like torches, and said lightly: "Since I dare to say so, how can I lose?" Brother Ma said yes? ”

Ma Yuanyi's face turned pale and he wanted to take a step back, but he suddenly realized that he was already leaning against the wall, and he had no way out!
