"General Yang!" Xia Junmao hurriedly persuaded, "These are civilians, please don't kill indiscriminately!" ”

"Indiscriminate killing? Was Xia Duwei frightened by the war, or was he suddenly kind? Yang Zhongtie asked with a blushing face, "Being merciful to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to your own army, as a soldier, do you still need this from General Ben to remind you!" If I don't make a move, how long does Xia Duwei plan to entangle with these rebels? Delayed the plan to exterminate Hu, how do you explain to His Royal Highness King Yu! ”

"Anyone who stands in my way will be killed!" Gu Hongxuan ordered loudly with red eyes, and the martial arts guard slashed all the way under the leadership of Yang Zhong, and in a short time, he cleaned up all the obstacles, and no longer waited for the cold sword guard, and continued to run in the direction of the imperial city.

"General Yang and Commander Gu are not such murderous people in normal times, could it be that the battle in Wengcheng is too tragic?" Xuan Shaoning still believed that this sudden change must have been caused by the war, and reality did not give him more time to think, Xia Junmao had already ordered Han Daowei to keep up with Yang Zhong's troops.

Since Yang Zhong opened the way in front, there was no resistance of any kind along the way, and the Liang army successfully arrived at the imperial city, and the expected imperial city guards were completely nowhere to be seen at this moment, and everyone who had planned to continue the fierce battle also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Donghu really poured all the strength of the whole country to resist, and even the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial City were sent out!" Xia Junmao gave his own analysis, "You still have to be careful of traps, the Donghu people are too cunning, rush into the imperial city to capture Che Yashan Yu alive!" ”

The scale of the Donghu Imperial City is only the size of a back garden of the Imperial City of Daliang, and the main entrance of the Imperial City is the main hall built on the nineteen steps, and there are four imperial palaces of different sizes built behind the main hall, which are in the shape of an arc and take the main hall as the starting point and the end point to form a circle, and the center of the circle is a lake.

At this moment, the imperial city has become a mess, the palace maids and the chamberlains are scattered like headless flies, and after seeing Liang Jun rushing into the imperial city, they are even more frightened to drop the palace collections such as gold and silver utensils, jade calligraphy and paintings, and flee with their heads in their hands.

Gu Hongxuan jumped off the horse, grabbed a chamberlain, and asked, "Where is Shan Yu?" ”

The chamberlain turned pale with fright, his whole body was soft, his lips trembled, and he stammered and replied, "Shan Yu...... Toward...... That one..... Direction to ......" Stretching out his hand and pointing in the direction of the inner palace, Gu Hongxuan shook off the inner attendant and looked at Yang Zhong, obviously with an inquiring look.

Yang Zhong said: "Don't be gullible, the soldiers are divided into three routes, Gu Hongxuan leads people from the east, Xia Junmao faces the west, and the rest of the people follow me to start searching from the main hall, we must capture Che Yashan Yu alive!" ”

"Hey!" Gu Hongxuan took half of the martial guards, Xia Junmao took the Han Daowei, and Yang Zhong took the other half of the martial guards, and began to search around the imperial city. Xuan Shaoning followed Han Daowei from the west of the main hall to enter the first palace more of a shrine, in the middle of the high platform is made of stones of various colors piled up into a stone tower, a total of five floors, from the bottom to the top floor respectively displayed eleven, nine, five, three, a human head, each skeleton is painted golden yellow, and the two hollow eye sockets are inlaid with gems about the size of the eye sockets. In the middle of the night, the faint glow of the dark night makes people's hearts tighten.

Standing on the high place of the altar, the huge palace can be seen, and Xie Yu was the first to find the clue in the chaotic palace. "You see, the palace at the farthest end of the lake is the brightest!" Everyone looked at Xie Yu's arm from a distance, and the palace farthest away from the main hall was the most dazzling in the dark night, not because of its golden splendor, but because of the fire burning from inside the palace.

"The towering mountains of Cheyenne Mountain, backed by the East Hu Capital City, cut off the possibility of invasion from other places, and at the same time cut off their own back road" Xia Junmao looked into the distance and analyzed: "So ......"

"Therefore, Donghu Danyu is most likely hiding in that palace!" Xuan Shaoning quickly guessed the most likely possibility. After this reminder, Xie Yu said anxiously: "Then we have to report to General Yang quickly and rush over to put out the fire, otherwise when the fire gets bigger again, there will be nothing left!" ”

"That's right! Xie Yu, you go and tell the general quickly, let's go over and arrest people first! Xia Junmao couldn't help but order, Xie Yu blinked his eyes in surprise, a little incredulous and a little reluctant to stand in place.

"Not going yet? Delay the military situation, only you ask! Xia Junmao dropped a sentence and then flashed into the night. Xing Gang patted Xie Yu on the shoulder and comforted: "The end of the mouth, admit it!" Then the group didn't care at all about the dissatisfaction on Xie Yi's face, and quickly kept up with the captain's pace.

This palace on fire occupies the central axis of the palace with the main hall one after the other, it is built on the mountain, the three floors are arranged in a zigzag shape, the first floor is connected with the other by the aerial plank road, the three-story system adopts the octagonal spire, each ridge has a different number of beasts, and the same number of octagonal copper bells are hung in the wind. The entire palace was made of green cedar wood, which was slightly blue in the night, but now it was dyed bright red by the raging flames.

Before Xia Junmao and the others arrived at the palace, the way had been blocked by the flames, and the first layer had completely become a sea of fire, and the flames had spread along the suspended plank road to the second layer, and the third layer had not yet been affected.

"There is a lake in front of us, immediately fetch water to put out the fire!" Qing Cang shouted anxiously, but he was obviously sick and rushed to the doctor.

"Where's the water container?" Xia Junmao's question made him choke.

Xie Yi said: "In my opinion, Donghu Shan Yu is hiding in this palace, it seems that he wants to die for the country, but our task is to capture Shan Yu alive and return to Beijing to recover his life!" Xia Junmao didn't know, but at this moment, he was helpless in the face of the sea of fire.

"Captain, let me go!" Xuan Shaoning stood up and gave a military salute.

"We're here to get the job done, but I can't put my brothers at risk! Besides, how can you be sure that Cha Ya Shan Yu is in this palace? Xia Junmao obviously opposed Xuan Shaoning's courage at the moment, "It's better to wait for General Yang to arrive before making a decision!" ”

"It's too late! The second floor has been invaded by fire, and the southeast wind is blowing at night, and the fire will soon go straight to the third floor by the wind, and it will be really late by then! It's true that we can't be sure that the car is in it, but it's our job to search for possible hiding places. Xia Duwei, this battle is for the honor of the Great Liang, but also the glory of the Xuanjia Army, the glory of the general, and please let the last general give it a try! ”

Xuan Shaoning said very resolutely, and his words also reached Xia Junmao's heart, although the battle to destroy Hu was a three-army battle, but King Yu was the commander, whether he could capture Shan Yu alive The impact of this battle was very important, and he still hesitated to hear Meng Kebao step forward and say: "Captain Xia, let the last general go with you, and the last general will definitely ensure the safety of Xuan Xiaowei!" ”

Xuan Shaoning looked at Meng Kebao, and the other party nodded back.

"Okay, even if you run out of troops, you can't have a carcass by your side, you two must be careful!"

After receiving the order, the two immediately threw out their flying claws, fixed on the railing of the second floor, and stepped on the rocks on both sides to climb upward, so as to avoid the fire well, and with good skills, the two came to the second floor in a short time.

Stepping on the already scorching ground, the palace was empty, but heard the voices from the third floor, the two of them gestured to each other and then went up with the help of the suspended plank road, the closer to the three-story palace, the clearer the voice, lying on the staircase and looking inside, I saw a lot of Donghu women dressed in magnificent services or sat on the ground, or supported each other to stand, but without exception they were crying, and a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the hall with a bloated figure and brocade clothes had a blue face, Holding a long knife, he looked at the main entrance of the main hall with resolute eyes, and there were only a few personal guards surrounding these people.

It seems that this bet was the right one! In the main hall is Donghu's Che Ya Shan Yu and his concubines, who must want to live and die with this regime at this moment. A few personal guards naturally don't have to worry, those crying women have no ability to resist, even if Che Yashan Yu himself is only afraid of being able to resist the enemy, but the key is not to let his self-judgment purpose succeed, which is a little difficult for the two people hiding outside the door.

Meng Kebao pointed at Xuan Shaoning with his finger and then at himself, and then made a gesture to rush in, Xuan Shaoning shook his head and pressed down with his hand on his chest to signal not to be impulsive, but Meng Kebao pointed backwards with difficulty to indicate that the fire was getting more and more fierce, and there was not much time left for them.

Xuan Shaoning didn't need to look back to feel the rising temperature under him, the warm air around him made his forehead already oozing sweat, gritted his teeth and was about to tell Meng Kebao to do it together, but he heard the screams of women and the screeching sound of blades colliding in the hall.

When the two of them rushed into the palace, several personal guards immediately came up to stop them, but Xuan Shaoning clearly saw that there was another figure and this figure was attacking Che Yashan Yu, those personal guards were not that person's opponents at all, and they were killed in a short time. After Xuan Shaoning cut down a person, he wanted to rush to Che Ya Shan Yu's side immediately, but these women fled in a panic, and Xuan Shaoning had never killed a weak woman, so he had to push away the Shan Yu concubines who were blocking in front of him, and when he was about to come to the inside of the hall, he saw that the masked man cut the throat of Che Ya Shan Yu with a knife, and the blood on his neck splashed on the roof of the main hall.

"Who are you?" Xuan Shaoning threw his waist knife to block the man's retreat, but the man easily dodged the attack and flew away, breaking through the grid and rolling out of the window. Xuan Shaoning rushed to the window and saw the man jumping into the dark night and red flames, which provoked Xuan Shaoning to slam the window with his fist in hatred, obviously to no avail, he could only return to the main hall to check the car tooth Shan Yu, at this moment the car tooth Shan Yu had already lost his breath, the wound on his neck was clean and neat, and the throat and blood were cut off at the same time, which showed the cruelty of this person's technique.

Meng Kebao rushed over after overturning the last personal guard, and was quite surprised to see such a result: "There is anyone else besides the two of us?" ”

"This person is very skilled, I'm only afraid that he is above you and me, but after he succeeds, he will not entangle with me but get out as soon as possible, it seems that his goal is to be a single person."

"Yes..... Who will it be? Donghu people are still our ......"

Before the two of them could figure out their thoughts, the screams of the concubines were higher and higher, and the fire had spread to this hall, the window ridges and pillars had collapsed, and the palace was running out of time.

"Let's hurry up and leave with the car!" Meng Kebao took the initiative to pick up the corpse and said to Xuan Shaoning. But in the face of these innocent women, Xuan Shaoning was a little soft-hearted, "Then what should they do?" ”

"As Shan Yu's concubine, Shan Yu is dead, and their fate is already doomed. Moreover, in this situation, we are not able to protect ourselves, how can we save others? Meng Kebao pulled Xuan Shaoning out of a cracked window, and finally landed on the ground with several jumps and climbs with flying claws, and when they landed, the whole palace finally collapsed, and in the sky-high firelight, the young lives of those women became a pile of rubble.

When that gust of hot wind blew through his body, Xuan Shaoning was still in a trance: Who was the person who took the car tooth slip for his life? When did you become numb to innocent human life? Which of these two things is more important?

"General!"

Xia Junmao's voice pulled Xuan Shaoning back to reality from his thoughts, and Yang Zhong led his army to arrive to see the rubble of the palace and the corpse of Che Ya Shan Yu.

"Who killed him?" Yang Zhong asked solemnly after examining the wound.

"Return to the general!" Xuan Shaoning didn't wait for Meng Kebao to open his mouth and immediately knelt down, "After entering the palace, the last general encountered the resistance of Che Ya Shan Yu's personal guards, and a masked man shot to kill Shan Yu, and the last general wanted to pursue but missed!" ”

"Is there a third party? Have you fought against them? ”

"After three moves, that person's martial arts skills are above the last general, and that person retreats after completing the goal, and he is not entangled with the last general at all!"

Yang Zhong looked at Xuan Shaoning with complicated eyes, Meng Kebao hurriedly knelt down and said: "General Hui, the last general will enter this palace with Captain Xuan, what Captain Xuan said is true!" ”

Yang Zhong retracted his gaze, ignored the two of them anymore, and ordered: "Bring back the body of Che Ya Shan Yu, you and others will divide the troops to clean up the capital in an all-round way, and I will go to meet His Royal Highness King Yu!" ”
