Section 231 Secrets of the Underground, above
In the sound of jars shattering everywhere, the main house and the front yard of the Hou Mansion caught fire in many places in a moment, and an unprecedented crisis came in the strong wind.
Say the other way.
In the back room of the main house, the faceless Jiao Ting was on duty at night with five guards, in case someone entered the backyard and attacked the Hou Ye's family from the back window.
The exhaustion caused by the nervous rush for days made a man like Jiao Ting a little irresistible, and he insisted on sitting with Pu Dao in the warm room, but he couldn't help nodding his head and falling asleep. The five guards under him were also very sleepy, but they were just gritting their teeth and persevering.
The guards in charge of observing the courtyard from the window had to pat their faces from time to time to refresh themselves in pain in order to stay awake.
This is not really worried that some gangsters will invade on Chinese New Year's Eve, but just do their duty and duty.
Cheongju received an early warning and stern order from Prince Puji a few days ago, and at that time, Hou Ye had not returned from patrolling the border, but the rectification and training had achieved remarkable results, and the Cheongju army, which had initially formed an elite division, had responded quickly.
Zhu Wu, Hou Ye's military advisor and the intelligence chief around him, received the information, and as a senior staff member of the prefect, he urgently notified the eunuch of the supervising army, Vice General Gao Jiguang, Vice General Qi Shiye, and the Qingzhou general judgment who temporarily ruled on behalf of the prefect, to strengthen the vigilance of the Qingzhou government.
It happened that at this time, the Hengshanzhai incident occurred, although these main officials and generals in Qingzhou were not from the Cangzhao Group, and they didn't know anything about Zhao Gonglian's true identity, but they were already supporting Zhao Gonglian to seek a bright future.
It's just a pity that the more than 300 good sons who died unjustly and tragically guarded Hengshan Pass. He could only be given generous pensions to comfort his relatives and relatives who had been hit hard by accident during the New Year's celebrations, and to appease and boost the morale of the army.
Just arranged for the calm and brave general Zhu Tong to lead a thousand cavalry and the capital of the new town of Hengshan Pass and the infantry. All of them rode horses and rushed to Hengshan Pass to receive the defense, and received the Hou Ye and the war horses. After receiving the news that a large number of assassins were sneaking to Cheongju to murder Hou Ye, several chief officials were furious. I didn't dare to be reckless and sloppy, so I quickly negotiated and made a close summer arrangement.
Hao Siwen, the head of the Qingzhou Army, Chen Fei, the new general, and Zhao Xin, an old man who was hidden in the Song army and served in the Song army of the Cangzhao group, responded to the support. The city secretly strengthened the search of people entering and leaving the city gate, and strengthened patrols in the city.
The castle was defended like an iron bucket.
The commanders of the soldiers in the counties under Qingzhou and the leaders of the fast arresters were all officials promoted by Zhao Gonglian under the pretext of eradicating corruption, and they also received a secret order from the prefecture to find an excuse to crack down hard and guard against spies a year ago, mobilize their subordinates, and secretly and closely inspect and search for suspicious elements.
In this case, including the chief of the guards, Tong Gang, the guards all believed that it would be difficult for the crumbs of the little gangster assassins to infiltrate the city in large numbers, which would be detrimental to the Hou Mansion. Relying on the armor and weapons, the elite of the Liao army also won a complete victory, and the guards were also confident that they were not afraid of any strong enemy who was sneak attacked.
The guards did not dare to slack off on the strict orders of the god-like Prince Puji. But there is no doubt that there is a desire to underestimate the enemy in his heart.
The observation post scanned the backyard with a strong spirit, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow in the dark night moving towards the main room, although he felt that it might be an illusion and didn't care much, but he still adhered to his duty and habitually turned on the flashlight on the helmet to scan.
Before he could see clearly, the assassins who came to attack behind suddenly saw a bright light suddenly shoot out of the pitch-black room next to them, which dazzled them, and they were shocked for a moment thinking that it was a miracle, and then realized that it was exposed, and smashed the oil cans into the main room.
"Enemy attack." The sentinels were equally horrified. Shout out a warning.
The sleepy Jiao Ting was suddenly awakened, and heard a cracking sound outside the house, and almost at the same time, he suddenly heard the angry and violent reminder of the former Fang Tonggang, and the four words of oil fire attack were like cold water poured on the head. He was completely sleepy, got up and picked up his knife, and shouted: "Kill the enemy." ”
The door had been opened and the door had been opened and rushed out of the house.
Under the light of a flashlight attached to the helmet. Jiao Ting swept his eyes and clearly saw fragments of jars on the ground, and oily liquid stuck to the walls of the main room in many places. Smelling it, it was oil. There were more than two dozen enemies. Someone was hurrying to light a fire.
Jiao Ting is aware of the unprecedented severity of the crisis. Anxious eyes yelled: "The thief is so daring." ”
With a roar of rage, he pounced on the mountain like a vicious tiger, and slashed fiercely at the nearest assassin.
The masked assassin sneered coldly, and on the side of his body, his sword was like lightning, and he actually stabbed Jiao Ting's heart first.
Jiao Ting slashed into the air with a knife, and was hit by the powerful power on the sword, and his tall and majestic body couldn't help but shake back, although the treasure armor blocked the desperate assassination, but it shocked him into a cold sweat.
This group of assassins did not see that they were well-trained and good at cooperating, and their martial arts were a means of the rivers and lakes, but they were definitely good at the green forest. At least the Assassin at war was a rare master.
Jiao Ting has been responsible for guarding since the cultivation of the sword technique, and he has experienced too many dangers over the years, but it is the first time he has failed in one move.
The Assassin Xiao Yuanqi who fought him was equally horrified.
It is necessary to know that Xiao Yuanjiao's sword is a sharp weapon purchased with a lot of money, and his martial arts are even stronger, with light skills and swordsmanship being the most outstanding, the rivers and lakes are nicknamed Qingyun Divine Sword, and the horse battle may not be very powerful, but the foot battle, the vertical and horizontal Yanyun and the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty, have committed many crimes, and have not encountered opponents for more than ten years.
With a sword just now, he was absolutely sure that he would stab his opponent to death with one blow.
Who knew that the sharp sword actually bent into a bow shape against the opponent's chest under the fierce force, but it did not pierce the opponent's heart.
"Armor?"
This thought flashed in Xiao Yuanyao's heart, making him surprise again, and his eyes suddenly glowed with greed.
My martial arts are invincible, my sword is sharp, if I can get the armor to defend myself, no matter how big the world is, there is nowhere I can't go.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. At this most critical juncture, there is no retreat.
Jiao Ting faced this unfathomable opponent with unfathomable martial arts, roared angrily, simply let go of his defense, and went all out to attack.
Xiao Yuanjiao didn't have the armor to protect it tightly, and after several consecutive swords tried to kill Jiao Ting's different body parts to no avail, he was forced to retreat again and again by Jiao Ting's desperate pounce, and took an opportunity to show his light skills and flew up, wanting to cut off Jiao Ting's head with a sword when he wanted to cross Jiao Ting.
He didn't believe it, and his opponent was invulnerable to even the helmet and neck defenses.
Jiao Ting played with his life, regardless of the beheading sword, he slashed at Xiao Yuanqi viciously, and stretched out his leg with the force in front of him.
Xiao Yuanjiao's old experience in making a living in the green forest made a mistake, he didn't know that the big man in front of him was a sumo wrestling master, he looked bulky, but his skills were extremely flexible, and he didn't expect Jiao Ting to exchange his life for an injury, but he didn't use his sword to resist this sword.
His sword slashed diagonally through his head and neck from top to bottom. But the scorched knife then slashed his leg.
Jiao Ting's head was slashed under the fierce sword, but he shook a little foggy, and his body involuntarily staggered forward.
Xiao Yuanjiao's flesh and blood calves couldn't help the sharpness of the alloy treasure knife, and they were easily cut into two pieces with a single knife. Blood gushed from the break. Half of the lower leg lands on the ground. He screamed in horror, but in the end, he was old and fierce and did not forget to retaliate, and slashed Jiao Ting's neck with a backhand sword in mid-air.
