Before I knew it, it was four o'clock in the unitary hour, and the sky was completely dark.

On the banks of the Qingshui River, people in light armor and spears were following the instructions in an orderly manner from the bridge tied by soft ladders from this side of the river to the other side of the river.

About three hours later, everyone had crossed the river safely and came to the city walls of Qinghe City, where the gates were closed.

"Up!"

Under the city wall, Xu Ruji waved at the dozen or so people standing in the front row.

These dozen or so men were specially selected and carefully trained by him from tens of thousands of soldiers, and their skills were far more outstanding than ordinary soldiers, and their task now was to secretly climb the city wall, kill the soldiers defending the city, and open the city gates.

The reason why he dared to let these dozen people enter the city first was because Xu Ruji believed what Ling Youli said before leaving, he said:

"Although the King of Nanting also has tens of thousands of soldiers, Qinghe City is not big, and those tens of thousands of soldiers cannot all be in the city, and there are only a few thousand people in the city at most. And among these thousands of people, more than half should be guarding the residence of the King of Nanting, who is suspicious by nature and afraid of being plotted by others, and the remaining half is scattered in the city and the four gates of Qinghe City. Therefore, according to this calculation, there should be only about a hundred or so people on the gate we are going to enter, as long as these people are secretly solved and the city gate is opened, then even if other soldiers come to support, we will not be afraid. ”

"Goo-goo-goo-goo-"

Two quarters of an hour, a few bird calls suddenly came from the city, and this sound made Xu Ruji's heart finally put back in his stomach.

This birdsong was a code signal for them to pass on the news, and as soon as the birdsong sounded, it meant that the dozen or so people who had just infiltrated the city had succeeded.

Sure enough, when Xu Ruji returned with two bird calls, accompanied by a "squeak" sound, the originally closed heavy city gate was slowly opened from the inside.

"Brothers!"

As soon as the city gate opened, Xu Ruji hurriedly rushed into the city with the soldiers.

It was already early days, and the soldiers in the city probably thought that Ling Youli's army would not be able to cross the river, so they relaxed their vigilance slightly, so except for the soldiers patrolling the city, everyone else was standing or sitting, drowsy. And the King of Nanting, who had the same idea as them, was also sleeping soundly in the city lord's mansion with a young woman who had just been captured.

"Lord Wang, it's not good!

Ling Youli's sudden attack caught King Nanting off guard, and when he heard the report from the guards, he got up from the bed angrily and walked out of the house with his sword, and what he saw was the people running around the house, panicked and frightened.

"Whatever you run, go back to this king!"

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, Lu Zhenke, the king of Nanting, roared angrily: "Whoever dares to mess up again, this king will cut who first!"

"Lord Wang, what now?"

After the people returned to the room trembling under Lu Zhenke's deterrence, Lu Mingshen, the guard who had been following him and was responsible for guarding his safety, asked.

"Lin Xianli, an old thief, actually sent a stinky boy to deal with this king, did he really think that this king was the same as him, and he was useless when he was old?"

Turning back to the room, Lu Zhenke put down his saber and picked up the armor hanging on the hanger and put it on.

"But this king really didn't expect that the fourteen princes, who are not obvious on weekdays, can actually cross the Qingshui River and sneak attack this king this time!"

"The subordinates are here. ”

"Go and gather the soldiers in the city, let them fight hard to resist the enemy army first, and then send someone to send an order to the four generals Lin, Yang, Wang, and Zhao, and let them each lead their troops and surround them from all sides. Now that they're here, don't even think about going out again!"

"Yes!"

After Lu Ming claimed his life, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly ran out. And after Lu Zhenke put on the armor, his face instantly turned pale and walked out.

......

"My lord, we are surrounded. ”

Ling Youli's prediction was good, the defenders in Qinghe City were only more than 2,000 people, so in less than half an hour, Xu Ruji led the soldiers to kill Lu Zhenke's people in the city.

However, when they entered the City Lord's Mansion and wanted to capture Lu Zhenke alive, they found that there was only a group of frightened and trembling subordinates left in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Surrounding?"

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Youli stood there listening to Xu Ruji's report.

"Hehe, he's trying to make us get in and out!"

"Then I'll lead the troops to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

Xu Ruji said angrily: "I didn't expect this Lu Zhenke to slip away quite quickly!"

"As the season, you must not take it lightly, among the four major feudal kings, only this Southern Thunder King Lu Zhenke is the most difficult one to deal with. ”

Ling Youli looked at Xu Ruji, who was eager to try, seriously.

"This person is insidious and cunning, a person who can do anything for the sake of the end, you must be cautious!"

"Yes. ”

Regarding Ling Youli's words, Xu Ruji has always been convinced.

"Then ...... next"

"Although our number is the same as Lu Zhenke, Qinghe City is too small, and we can't use our hands and feet in the city, and we will be restricted everywhere. ”

Ling Youli thought about it and said, "Ruji, you first let the soldiers calm down for a while, and then send a few capable people to take Luo Sheng and the Ye family over, and then we will make plans." ”

"Yes. ”

Although he wanted to take advantage of the morale of the soldiers and go all out to defeat Lu Zhenke's army, Xu Ruji also understood that even if he knew that he was really not good at tactical strategy, what Ling Youli said made sense. Because of the topography, when they crossed the river, they could only choose to enter the city, and when they entered the city, because the city was full of houses and narrow streets, if they really fought, their hands and feet would only be limited everywhere, and when the time came, they might suffer heavy losses.

So secretly sighed, Xu Ruji hurriedly went to do the things Ling Youli ordered one by one.

......

"Nangong Gongzi, Miss Ye, what do you think we should do next?"

Because of the large number of troops, some of the generals entered the city, and some of them could only stay outside the city temporarily. And most of those who enter the city can only stay in the streets and alleys first. After all, there are only a few houses in the city, and there are still a small number of people in the city, so they can't go and grab houses with the common people to live.

Therefore, his brows were tightly locked, and Ling Youli's face rarely had a heavy look.

"It's freezing outside, it's not the way to go on like this, we have to fight quickly. ”

Ye Chutao was also a little embarrassed.

They originally planned to attack the city as quickly as possible, and then sent a few people straight to the city lord's mansion to capture Lu Zhenke alive, and then use Lu Zhenke to make his soldiers surrender, but Lu Zhenke actually escaped from the city so quickly, which they did not expect.

"We still underestimated Lu Zhenke. ”

Ling Youli's face became more and more solemn. But suddenly, he looked up at Nangong Qiyue, who also had a serious face.

"Nangong Gongzi, I see that the way you just let the soldiers cross the bridge seems to be out of the same way as Luoshang, because after building the bridge, Luoshang's body is very weak, so I wonder if Nangong Gongzi can go to the enemy camp with a strange technique and capture Lu Zhenke?"

"Alien arts?"

Listening to Ling Youli's words, Ye Chutao also reacted, when the soldiers were crossing the bridge just now, she could see clearly, the bridges that were erected by Quluosheng, she only saw a rope tied to the bank, and the bridge body actually disappeared without a trace on the river. And this Nangong Qiyue didn't know what method was used, and the soldiers who crossed the bridge disappeared out of thin air as soon as they walked to the bridge.

Could it be that there are really monsters in this world? Are Qu Luoshang and Nangong Qiyue both monsters?

No, no, no, no, how is this possible? How can there be such a thing as demons and monsters in this world? People in the world ask God and worship Buddha, but in fact they are just asking for peace of mind!

"No, I can't. ”

However, just when Ye Chutao was still thinking nonsense, and the more she thought about it, the more chaotic her mind became, Nangong Qiyue's emotionless words interrupted her thoughts.

"Why?"

Staring at Nangong Qi Yue tightly, Ling Youli showed a look of suspicion.

"I'm not like her, I'm just a mortal. ”

Nangong Qiyue calmly looked back at Ling Youli's gaze.

"As for helping the soldiers cross the river, it's just that I got a magic weapon by chance before. But this magic weapon can only be used once. ”

"Really?"

Regarding Nangong Qiyue's words, Ling Youli didn't fully believe it. But at this time, Qu Luosheng, who had been sitting on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Your Excellency, he's right. ”

"I see?"

Since Qu Luoshang said so, Ling Youli also had to believe Nangong Qiyue's words.

"My lord, let me go. ”

Reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Qu Luoshang looked at Ling Youli.

"I can get Lu Zhenke back. ”

"No way!"

"No, I can't. ”

But I didn't want her to be stopped by two voices as soon as she finished speaking.

"Yes. ”

Looking at Nangong Qiyue who stopped him with some surprise, Qu Luoshang was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Ling Youli who was full of disapproval.

"My lord, you can do it. ”

"But your body ......"

Now, if he wants to capture Lu Zhenke in the midst of thousands of troops, all Ling Youli can think of is Qu Luosheng's strange technique, but looking at Qu Luosheng's miserable face, he still can't bear it.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and go back. ”

Although Nangong Qiyue didn't like Qu Luosheng very much since they met, but in the past few days, he has seen Qu Luoshang do so much for Ling Youli, and he also admires this little demon who is persistent for love.

So after throwing down a sentence, Nangong Qiyue walked out quickly.

And what he didn't know was that looking at the way he walked out without looking back for the sake of Qu Luo's clothes, Ye Chu's heart sank a little more.
