Ye Luyue followed Ye Qing downstairs, and under the shadow of the large dim light, just as they walked over, several people appeared silently in an instant.

"How's it going?" Ye Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, and the rifle that Xu Qing threw over was firmly grasped by him.

Ye Luyue frowned, looking at the strange thing in Ye Qing's hand, I don't know why Ye Qing, who didn't hold a knife or a bow and crossbow, grabbed this weapon in his hand at this critical moment.

Seeing Ye Qing bowing his head and fiddling with the strange things in his hand very skillfully, the crisp sound of Jin Tie sounded in his ears, which sounded quite comfortable and pleasant.

"We have to wait, Po Li San hasn't come back yet, according to the agreement, when the city gate is wide open, we can take advantage of the chaos to escape." Zhao Qi'er frowned and glanced at Ye Qing's side, and said to the princess of Liaoguo, who was alone.

Ye Qing nodded, looked at the dozen or so people behind Zhao Qi'er, and then looked up at the night sky and thought: "Lao Zhao will take people with me to the West City Gate to cover me, and the others will make peace with Po Li San, and then wait for me on the road to Zhongwei." ”

"Is that possible? If there is any accident, we will not be able to fly. Zhao Qi'er looked at the dozen or so people behind him, and still felt that the number of people was too small, and it was a little unsafe to take risks like this.

"I can take it away if I have enough heads, and I am not Guan Yunchang, I can take the head of the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops and horses. But no matter what, Ren Dejing must die. "Ye Qing is self-aware, tonight's Ren Dejing must be heavily protected, he really wants to take away Ren Dejing's good head, I'm afraid it won't be enough to put all of his own people.

Zhao Qi'er looked at the rifle in Ye Qing's hand, and then looked at Ye Qing's confident appearance, and then nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll take someone to cover you, once you succeed, you don't have to take care of us, just go out of the city and run in the direction of the central defender immediately, and we will follow behind." ”

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Qi'er, who looked at him with a solemn face, smiled casually, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous, once Xingqing City is really in chaos, there will be a lot of opportunities for us." ”

Zhao Qi'er nodded, and after explaining a few words to Xu Qing and the others, he immediately followed Ye Qing and Ye Luyue in the direction of the West City Gate.

At this time, Xingqing City has already begun to fall into chaos, when Ye Qing and others ride war horses to shuttle between the streets and alleys, from time to time they will encounter the same Xia cavalry walking through the streets and alleys, the same armor and the same weapons, every time they are staggered, although it will cause the Xia generals to question, or the Xia generals salute the chief, but fortunately, because of the existence of Yeluyue, the princess of Liao, as long as every time she encounters a question, a word to escort Princess Chengli back to the post house can be like a pass, allowing them to flow unimpeded.

"You're using me!" After going through several checkpoints, Yeluyue finally found that she had been used by the guy in front of her again, like a talisman, escorting them from Nancheng to the west.

Ye Qing looked at Ye Luyue in surprise, even if he was wearing armor, he couldn't hide the smell of the charming goblin and said, "Isn't the Liao people's post house in the west?" ”

"So what? But if it weren't for my status as a princess, how could you have walked through the city so swaggeringly? Yelu Yue said angrily, looking at the Xia soldiers on the other side, and quickly left under the puzzled gaze of the general.

"I wanted you to return to the post house as soon as possible, so I brought you here, not to take advantage of it." Ye Qing continued to beat the horse and walked forward.

The iron horses sounded densely on the chaotic streets of Xingqing City, and even the sound of horses' hooves in the entire Xingqing City was denser than in the past daylight.

As if they knew that something big was going to happen tonight, the people of the city closed their doors one by one, hid in unlit rooms, and observed everything in the streets through the cracks.

Some of the more courageous people would light the oil lamps in the room, but they only dared to open the door through a small gap, and watched the streets under the darkness of the night, and a group of iron horsemen galloped by.

However, no matter what, the entire Xingqing City, which was in chaos, had not yet heard a large-scale battle at this time, but small-scale gold and iron resonances, arrows piercing the night sky, or shooting into people's houses had already happened from time to time.

Ren Lei at the door of the Liaoren Post House opened with the opening of the post house gate, and when the elite of the palace led by Wang Jian, the Tai Scholar, and the Tibetan monk Gexi Suobu, Ren Lei began to signal his subordinates to move forward, while he himself slowly retreated.

Xiao Chuwen and Li Fengying's expressions began to become less friendly, and looking at Ren Lei, who was slowly retreating, they immediately shouted loudly: "Since Ren Gongzi is already here, why don't you go inside and rest for a while?" ”

"No need, my son still has something to do, so I'll leave here." Ren Lei almost finished speaking, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of the palace with his cronies, and the people who stayed, with the sound of Wang Jian, the prince at the gate of the post house, "Kill and kill", the elite of the palace instantly rushed towards the soldiers left by Ren Lei.

Xiao Chuwen and Li Fengying looked back at Wang Jian and Geshe Suobu, nodded with a smile and said, "Princess Chengli said that my Da Liao only supports the emperor of your country, and as for why the prince came here, it is not clear. Do you need help from my Da Liao soldiers? ”

"Then thank you Lord Xiao and Master Li." Wang Jian was also not polite, and saluted Xiao Chuwen and Li Fengying.

Xiao Chuwen and Li Fengying nodded with a smile in return, and then signaled to the Liao soldiers and Qu Zhulu behind them, and then the Liao people began to join the battle group of the civil war between the Xia people.

The sound of fighting and the sound of gold and iron instantly sounded like a bomb at the door of the post house in Liao, above the deserted night sky, Ye Qing, who was only two streets away from the post house, first listened to the direction where the sound of the fight came from, and then immediately led Zhao Qi'er through an extremely narrow alley and chased in the direction of the palace.

The sound of a dense group of horses' hooves sounded in their ears not far away, Ye Qing, who had just crossed the alley, watched Ren Lei rush towards the palace with a team of men and horses, and immediately turned his head to look behind him, and then looked at the direction of the West City Gate he was about to rush to, and immediately said: "Intercept Ren Lei and bring the head back." ”

"What about you?" Zhao Qi'er grabbed the reins and was about to go in the opposite direction, Ye Qing asked.

"I'm enough for one person." Ye Qing patted the rifle on his shoulder.

Zhao Qi'er looked at Ye Qing silently, and glanced at Yelu Yue with some jealousy, before saying: "Not far from Chengtian Temple, it is called Qingye Teahouse, from where you can go in and climb to the roof, you can have an unobstructed view of the situation at the West City Gate." ”

"I know, haven't we been there once before?" Ye Qing smiled, kicked the horse's belly twice in the stirrup, and said after letting Zhao Qi'er and dozens of others get out of the way.

"Take care, I'll come and pick you up." Zhao Qi'er said seriously again.

Ye Qing nodded, watched Zhao Qi'er leave with everyone, looked at Ye Luyue who was only wearing armor, and thought for a while: "Just across the street is your post house, obviously your people have already handed over to the Xia people." ”

"I want to see how you kill Ren Dejing, if he doesn't die, my trip to the Xia Kingdom will be in vain, and all of this is thanks to you." Ye Luyue shook her head, obviously to see how Ye Qing killed Ren Dejing.

Looking at the rifle on Ye Qing's shoulder, although she didn't know how lethal it was, but looking at the strange thing that Ye Qing was so precious all the way, Ye Luyue actually believed for no reason that maybe this strange thing could really help Ye Qing assassinate Ren Dejing successfully.

"Do you really want to share the hardships with me?" Ye Qing smiled and turned his horse's head and said.

Ye Luyue pursed her lips disdainfully, and said coldly: "If Ren Dejing doesn't die, I will never spare you, and you don't want to leave Xingqing City so easily." ”

"We'll see." Ye Qing said confidently.

The two of them walked alone on the dark street, and they could no longer rush to the west in the open and open under the crowd like just now.

Therefore, when heading to the direction of the West City Gate, once he encountered some wind and grass, or when there was a faint sound of horses' hooves and noisy footsteps in front of him, Ye Qing would take Yeluyue to immediately take refuge.

And because the target of the war horse was too big, when they were about to approach the Qingye Teahouse, Ye Qing and Ye Luyue had already given up the war horse, and trotted all the way against the iron horsemen and foot soldiers who were avoiding the Xia people on the road.

An oil lamp, so dim that it almost resembles the glow of a firefly, casts a subtle golden yellow through the cracks in the yellowed window paper of the Aoba Teahouse.

As Ye Qing rhythmically knocked on the door, there was immediately a sound of fast footsteps inside, Wu Yong opened the door and tied it, looking at Ye Qing, who was unshaven but in good spirits, his expression was full of surprise and relief.

"The last general has seen the Commander." Wu Yong hurriedly saluted, but when he saw Yeluyue behind, Wu Yong's expression was still slightly stiff, but he still nodded at Yeluyue in a friendly manner, and after Yeluyue walked in with Ye Qing, he immediately closed the door and said: "Zhongwei Tea Shop has been empty since yesterday, and this Qingye Teahouse is afraid that it will be lost soon, so the commander should be careful." ”

"Where is the martial judgment and the hot Gongji of the Xia Kingdom now? Still out of the city? Ye Qing walked to the back room, and a simple ladder was erected in the corner of the wall, and above the ladder, there was an exit no more than two feet square, for people to use the ladder to climb to the roof.

"Still outside the city, the West City Gate should be the top priority of Ren Dejing's defense, but also because of Ren Dejing's arrival, the last general and his brother have not been able to get in touch more, I only know that there are a large number of Xia soldiers outside the West City Gate, I don't know if it is the main force or a feint, but no matter what, at least it is to contain Ren Dejing, half an hour, I didn't hear that a large number of people and horses left here." Wu Yong's eyes were a little red because of staying up late, but he still tried to be as concise as possible like Ye Qing said.

"How many steps is from the castle tower?" Ye Qing stepped on the ladder and casually tried whether it was firm or not, then turned his head and asked.

"To the base of the wall, four hundred and sixty-seven steps." Wu Yong said confidently.

"It's a little far." Ye Qing muttered to himself, and then raised his legs and climbed onto the roof.
