Chapter Eighty-Three: Killing the 'Cloud'



Gradually it darkened, and in a mansion outside the West City that belonged to Dongchang, Peng Yunzhong carefully selected forty-six groups of scouts, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight scouts, nodded with satisfaction, "Do you know what you should do?" He asked aloud suddenly.

"Shoot the Turks, my lord." The scouts shouted, the hands holding the crossbow were calm, without the slightest trembling, they were different from the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion in the interior, they were real soldiers, and they could directly enter the soldiers of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate without any selection.

"Very well, let's go." Peng Cheng's gaze swept over these subordinates, and said in a deep voice, and then in groups of three, the scouts dressed as gamblers dressed as gamblers and prostitutes skillfully put away the folding crossbows in their hands, hid them under the wide plackets, and sneaked from different places to the high ground they were responsible for garrisoning in Xicheng.

In the guest room of a green building somewhere in Xicheng, the masters who are good at dispensing poison in the Jinyi Guard handed over the calculated amount of aconitum to the turtle slave who came to receive the medicine.

Putting the aconitum wrapped in oil paper into his arms, the Fusang ninjas trained in Yingzhou by Dongchang sneaked into the house of the Turks happily, their short stature, no more than six feet tall, weighing about 100 catties, looking from a distance, they were just a blurred black shadow in the dark in gray-blue clothes.

Looking from afar, if he hadn't known it a long time ago, Li Ang wouldn't have been able to see the shadows of those Fuso ninjas at all. Turning his head to look at the Dongchang secret agent beside him, Li Ang suddenly asked, "Can those Fuso ninjas be trusted?" ”

"Captain. These Fuso ninjas have been trained in the mountains since they were born, and they take the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius as their creed, and they will not frown when they die. The head of the Dongchang secret agent replied, "But they can't be on the stage except for spying on the news or doing these shady things." ”

"Oh?" Li Ang looked at the secret agent of the East Factory beside him with great interest, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”

"The people of Fuso are already short in stature. Those who can become ninjas are even more light and short, and they can't eat more meat to avoid leaking their whereabouts with body odor, and although they have practiced hard since childhood, their strength is still extremely weak. If it is a head-on battle, a random soldier can cut down a dozen ninjas. ”

"But when it comes to stealth, spying on news, and doing things like gentlemen on the beam, they are good at it." The secret agent of Dongchang finally shook his head and said, "But unfortunately, I heard that Fusang County has asked the imperial dynasty to be merged under the rule of Yingzhou, if the cabinet agrees, there will not be so much cannon fodder in the future..."

Leon listened silently, one hundred and fifty years ago. The imperial dynasty conquered the Wa archipelago and relocated Yingzhou. Millions of Japanese people on the island were levied to go to Daqin to dig canals, and there were more than one in a hundred. Compared with the Han people who moved to the island is not enough, after more than 100 years, the beautiful women of Fusang are married to Han people as wives and concubines, and now the number is less than 300,000, the so-called Fusang County, but it is in name only, if it is not for the emperor has not allowed, there are no Fusang people in the world.

'Goodbye. Republic! Leon muttered to himself, and the last obsession in his heart vanished with this changed history. Eight years of smoke, blood, fire, rivers and mountains, these will no more, there is only one empire called Daqin in his world, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Goryeo, Fusang, Uighurs, these alien races, will eventually die out and merge into the blood of the Han people, only this time, there will be no more humiliation.

"Captain Li, are you okay?" The male voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Nothing, just remembering something." Li Ang came back to his senses, he looked at the Dongchang secret agent on the side, turned his head and looked into the distance, "Over there, how is it?" ”

"They've got it." Looking at the side face of Li Ang in the dark, the secret agent of Dongchang, thinking of the eyes that seemed to have gone through thousands of years just now, he replied with determination.

"Then there's only a matter of waiting!" Li Ang smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around, and said softly, "There are still more than three hours before dawn, let's go and close for a while, there is still a battle to be fought then." So saying, he went into the brightly lit attic; The secret agent of the East Factory behind him was stunned and followed closely.

In the dark night, the scouts of the Folding Mansion who were lying high on the roof of their houses stood still in the cold wind, and they held their crossbows, aiming at the street below that was getting colder, and there was no trace of fatigue on their faces. The night sky was silent, accompanied only by the occasional sound of jackdaws.

In the courtyard of the deep mansion of the triple entry, the study was still lit, Hou Chong sat in the Taishi chair, looked up at the somewhat vague roof, thinking about the current situation, his brows furrowed, Lord Yun Lie had left safely, he should not stay in this dangerous place anymore.

In a trance, Hou Chong remembered the conversation he had with Ashina Yunlie on the night of the night attack on the post station.

"My lord, we do this, Qin people..."

"Great Qin will attack the Turks, this is an inevitable battle, but as long as everything is pushed on the dead 'me', the royal court will plead to Great Qin again, cede the land and compensate some gold, and it will be fine!"

“… So what are we doing this tonight? ”

"Daqin will not let itself have a strong country in the northern Xinjiang, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Gaoche, Rouran, they are a lesson from our Turkic land, before Daqin is ready for war and a full-scale war against us, we must disrupt their pace, the current Turks can still take up the war launched by Daqin in a hurry, as long as they feel that our strength has been crushed, we can keep quiet and wait for the opportunity."

"I don't want our Turks to be remembered by Great Qin, so I let Great Qin think that it is better to weaken the strength of the Turks." This is what he said to himself before leaving, Hou Chong thought of Ashina Yunlie's face that had never had any expression fluctuations, and suddenly shuddered in his heart, he wondered if he was also like the white slave, just a chess piece that was discarded, and it was just a little bit of the Turkic strength that the Qin people weakened.

Hou Chongchong jumped up from his chair violently, he found that he couldn't trust Ashina Yunlie more and more, what to recover the loss of 'Yun', the people of the Qin State moved so fast, they couldn't do anything at all, and if they continued to stay here, he would only perish with the people of 'Yun'.

"Hmph, I'm not going to die with them!" While talking to himself, Hou Chong blew out the light, pushed open the door of the study, and walked out, his figure disappearing into the thick night like ink.

In the Yicui Building, Li Ang lay on a soft couch made of white fox skin, closed his eyes and rested his long knife. The two girls in the Qinglou who were lying on the bed not far away looked at this one with a cold face,

Let the two of them go to bed, but the handsome man who was lying on the soft couch was thinking nonsense.

A girl who was more bold suddenly got off the ground and walked cautiously towards Leon, but before she could take five steps in front of Leon, she heard the beautiful but cold voice.

"It's late at night, you better go back to bed and sleep well, I don't need you to wait." Li Ang opened his eyes, looked at the girl who was standing still, and thought of the tigers and leopards who were also resting in the guest room, and couldn't help but regret listening to the words of the secret agent of the East Factory, although it was closer to the two houses, but... Glancing at the two girls who were just wearing tulle and vaguely visible the flesh color inside, he shook his head slightly.

Looking at Li Ang, who closed his eyes again, the bolder girl returned to the bed and lay down under the bed with her companions, but she still looked at the handsome boy who closed his eyes and recuperated under the sneering red candle, and couldn't sleep.

Soon, it was five watches at night, and when he heard the knock of the husband, Li Ang's ears moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, and at this time, the door was also pushed open, and the Dongchang spy dressed as a turtle slave walked in and whispered something in Li Ang's ear, which made the girl on the bed even more strange.

"Let them continue to follow the man, and they are not allowed to act rashly without my orders." Li Ang stood up from the soft couch, commanded the turtle slave, and tore off the wide robe and gorgeous clothes he was wearing, revealing a black light armor uniform.

At this time, countless footsteps sounded in the Qinglou, which should have been silent, and rushed to the room where Li Ang was. "See Captain!" In unison, thirty-six tigers and leopards saluted Li Ang at the same time, and only the two girls who had not slept on the bed were stunned.

"Very well, let's go." Looking at the tired and energetic faces of the tiger and leopard riders, Li Ang picked up the long knife, nodded, and strode out.

"Whoa!" In the response of thunder. The tiger and leopard rider followed, and it also woke up the two stunned girls, for them it was an unforgettable night, and they met a man who they would never forget, even if he did not look at them.

A firework. Suddenly, the sky that had begun to shimmer brightly burst into a bright light. Looking at the fireworks in full bloom, the scouts with crossbows on the rooftops of the forty-six houses were excited, and they bent their stiff fingers and aimed at the Turkic spies who had just come out of the house on the street.

Almost at the same time, the sound of crossbow feathers breaking through the air rang out everywhere, and the Turks who had just left the range of the house were shot in the icy streets, leaving behind blood that stained the bluestone-paved streets.

"Attack!" The high-pitched roar echoed in the dawn, and the Jinyi Guards and Dongchang masters who had already been ambushed in place. Carrying a single knife with a bright flash, he rushed to the big mansion of the Turks.

The Turkic sentinels, who had been on guard all night, watched the crowd suddenly surging around the house. Stunned for a moment, they got up from where they were hiding. Sluggishness. Then, on the roof in the distance, the scouts of the Folded Mansion in the clouds detained the crossbow machine again, and the crossbow arrows with the three-edged blood groove pierced their bodies, shooting them off the wall.

In the courtyard of the deep house, the Turks who were awakened by the sound of killing jumped up, grabbed the scimitar beside them, and rushed out, but at this time, they were among them. People who drank too much tea at night suddenly felt a paralyzing sensation spreading in their limbs, and they couldn't lift any strength in their bodies. Finally rushed out of the room. and rushed into the Jinyi Guard, the number of people who fought with the good hands of the East Factory was nearly thirty percent less.

Looking at the Turks who were panicked and hurriedly responded to the enemy, on the roof of the house, the scouts of the Yunzhong Chong Mansion wound up again and again, beckoning the most ferocious Turks with the crossbow arrows in their hands, and carrying out continuous long-range arrow cover for the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Outside Xicheng, Peng Cheng urged the soldiers who set off overnight, "Quick, keep up!" "In some narrow streets, the sound of neat running and footsteps shook the earth, and the owners who got up early to set up food stalls watched the neat black iron armor torrent rushing in front of them, and their eyes were wide with shock, and they were speechless for a long time.

Soon, neat armies poured into the streets of Xicheng, where there were not many people, surrounded several Turkic houses, and began to take over the battle.

"Great Qin-Wuwei!" The sound of the military horn shouted by thousands of people burst in the sky above Xicheng, waking up the merry guests who stayed in the Qinglou at night, and in a burst of chickens and dogs, these men who did not forget state affairs got up from the bellies of the girls, hurriedly put on their clothes, and hurriedly ran out to inquire what was going on.

After the soldiers of the Yunzhong Zhichong Mansion were thrown into the battlefields of various mansions, the Turks, who had already been calculated by Li Ang and had already lost half of the Tai, collapsed, and the soldiers of the Yunzhong Zhichong Province, who arrived with heavy crossbows, began a one-sided massacre.

On the streets, the disheveled merry people shouted frantically when they inquired that it was the soldiers of the imperial dynasty who were killing the Turkic spies. "Kill all the Turkic dogs!" "Kill all those shuffles!" The jumble of voices echoed in the dawn sky, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be more excited than when they were playing with girls.

"Da Qin's face was lost by them." Looking at the men who shouted loudly, as if they had taken aphrodisiacs, and had nowhere to vent, Peng Cheng frowned and looked at the adjutant beside him, "Take someone to drive them away, don't let them howl here!" ”

"What if they won't go?" The adjutant listened to the excited shout and looked at the chief officer beside him.

"Then they will all be arrested and taken to the yamen for immorality." Peng Cheng said coldly, and as he spoke, he took the soldiers around him and walked towards the battlefield that had ended.

"Whoa!" At the sound of the command, the adjutant and a team of soldiers began to drive away the euphoric people who had not finished venting on the girl last night.

In the room filled with the smell of blood, Leon pulled the blade out of the throat of the fallen Turk, looked at the intruding tiger and leopard rider behind him, and asked, "Is there any room left?" ”

"Back to Duwei, all forty-seven Turks died in battle, and there was no one alive." Glancing at the three corpses at Li Ang's feet, the tiger and leopard rider who came in straightened up and replied loudly.

"All dead." Li Ang whispered to himself, this place with the fewest Turks was suppressed by him himself, in order to catch a few alive, but he didn't think that they were all dead.

"Let's go, I hope the rest of the world isn't like here." Leon shook his head, sheathed his knife back, and walked out of the room with a heavy smell of blood, followed by the tiger and leopard rider who followed closely.
