(Xie: Canghan treasure hunting, moshaocong, such as Huo Mingai M and other brothers' monthly passes.) ）

The next morning, the fire in the city of Sheep and Baa burned for two days and one night before finally being extinguished. Wang Yuan ordered the whole army to march into the city of sheep and baa, although it was a city reduced to ashes, but after all, the outline of the city was still there, and the defense measures were also very complete, which was much better than camping outside.

Walking through the ruins of the city, the ground was hot, littered with black charcoal ash and small pieces of burnt crumbling stone and adobe. Although the barbarian artifacts are mainly made of bamboo and wood, there are still some stone foundations and adobe walls, but under the fire, these are not immune.

The only surviving house in the city with some silhouette is the palace of Ge Luofeng in the center of the city. This palace was built in imitation of the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, although it is also a large number of wood and stone structures, but it is obvious that some preparations have been made in terms of fire prevention measures. The palaces and houses are not connected to each other, and there are large open spaces in between, which are used as courtyards and gardens, so that the fire does not spread like the houses and shops in the streets. Two of the more than a dozen temples were not directly hit by the fire bombs, so they were able to survive the heavenly fire and stand alone in the center of the city. The Tang army, which entered the city last night, had already cleaned up this place, which happened to be the place where Wang Yuan and the senior generals in the army stayed.

After the army entered the city, it was a very suitable place to camp by simply cleaning up the streets to ensure the passage of soldiers and horses, and cleaning up the messy Simen Square. The army was stationed in the city to rest and recuperate, while waiting for Li Mi's supply troops to arrive.

……

When the Jiannan army marched into the city of Yang and Baa to rest, there was a dead silence in Taihe City, which was sixty miles away. Last night, Ge Luofeng entered the Dragon Head Pass under the protection of Princess A Luo and hundreds of guards, and he didn't sleep all night in shock, sitting on the palace hall with red eyes and silent.

The princes and ministers of the Southern Zhao Kingdom in Taihe City had already received the news of the defeat of the army and the city, and they all entered the palace in a panic to see Ge Luofeng, but Ge Luofeng was all gone, and they were all turned away. Once they knew the news that the Nanzhao army was almost wiped out, they were immediately panicked one by one, and many people immediately realized that this Taihe City could not be saved. So, they secretly packed up the gold and silver, and took their family servants and began to flee from Taihe City.

However, the gates of the four cities of Taihe City have long been under martial law, and Ge Luofeng ordered that they were only allowed to enter and not to leave, so that they could not leave the city at all. These noble princes were furious, they shouted and made noise, some people relied on their status and dignity to break into the city gate, and finally the city gate barbarian guards shot all the family members and entourage of the oldest former chief priest of Nanzhao Kingdom, and the eighty-year-old high priest was also killed on the spot by seven or eight arrows, and all the noble princes who intended to flee realized that they could not escape. They were frightened and frightened, and greeted Ge Luofeng in the most vicious curse and the most ugly language, but they could only retreat to their respective mansions one after another, close the doors and windows and hide in their homes, praying that the ghosts and gods would bless the Tang army from attacking Taihe City.

This night, Taihe City is like a dead city, even in the middle of the night, there are still people coming and going, the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of lights like day, there is no one on the street. All the houses were closed, and they didn't even dare to light the lights. The only thing that was moving on the streets was the soldiers and horses of the royal palace barbarian guards who had been urgently dispatched to patrol the city. Only the sound of their horses' hooves echoed through the empty streets.

The dawn of the morning came, the sky was high and the sky was light and clear, which was another rare good weather. But all the subjects in Taihe City knew that although it was an ordinary sunny day, it was definitely different from the countless sunny days that had happened before. Thinking about the approaching Tang Army, Taihe City is in danger, even if the sky is clear, in the hearts of everyone, there are dark clouds all over the city.

Ge Luofeng finally walked out of his dim hall, the rising sun was already a little dazzling, but he squinted his eyes and blocked the sunlight with his hands, and when his eyes adjusted to the strong light, he walked to the bottom of the steps. A group of palace guards hurriedly greeted them, and Ah Xiong, the commander of the guards in charge of the security of the palace, stepped forward to salute and speak.

"Where are you going, Lord?"

Ge Luofeng frowned and thought about it, and suddenly he found that he couldn't answer this simple question, in other words, he actually felt that he had nowhere to go.

After being stunned for a moment, Ge Luofeng said in a hoarse voice: "How many people came to see me last night?" ”

"Qingping Guan, Tanxuan, Jiuzan, Buxie and other auxiliary ministers, as well as several governors and festival officials, have come to see you, according to your orders. They were denied the Lord of the kingdom. Heard...... I heard ......"

"What are you doing? Say. ”

"After hearing that they were refused to be received by the lord of the country, they all took their families out of the city, and the guards at the gate of Longwei Pass shot the family of the chief priest because they forced their way through ......the gate," Ah Xiong whispered.

Ge Luofeng exhaled heavily, and sneered: "Good kill!" When the catastrophe comes, I want to run for my life, and it is not a pity to die. If anyone behaves like this again, he will be killed immediately, and he will not be tolerated. Even if it's my Ge Luofeng's relatives, it won't be. ”

"Yes, lord." Ah Xiong said in a deep voice.

Ge Luofeng nodded and walked a few steps, then turned around and asked, "Has Princess A Luo come to me?" ”

Ah Xiong hurriedly said: "I was about to report to the lord of the country, Princess A Luo came once in the middle of the night, but she didn't enter the palace to disturb the lord of the country, she only asked the lord of the country to talk to the lord of the country, saying that the lord of the country would go to the tower of Longshouguan City to find her after dawn, and she had something important to discuss with the lord." ”

Ge Luofeng nodded and walked forward.

"By the way, Concubine Aguan also came before dawn, and I said that the lord of the country would not let people see her, and the princess left." Ah Xiong said after him.

"Awan?" Ge Luofeng stood still and turned his head, with a sneer on his face: "I'm almost confused, I actually forgot to see her." Hehe, I should go see her. Ah Xiong, I will go to see the princess and then go out of the palace to Longshou Pass, and you will prepare horses and wait outside the palace. ”

Ah Xiong took the order and left, Ge Luofeng went down the steps of the main hall, and hurriedly turned to the passage leading to the apse of the Diecui Palace, along the way the palace maids saw Ge Luofeng bowing their heads and saluting, Ge Luofeng turned a blind eye and only walked quickly to the flowery palace gate of the Diecui Palace. After taking a deep breath, Ge Luofeng slowly pulled out the long knife on his waist.

The palace is quiet and pleasant, the sunlit vestibule is empty, and the air smells of flowers and sandalwood. This smell is a very familiar smell of Ge Luofeng, Ah Wan likes to plant the moon season, likes to burn sandalwood, Ge Luofeng has smelled such a smell countless times, but today, this smell in Ge Luofeng's nostrils makes him feel very pungent and uncomfortable.

Ge Luofeng stepped on the red wooden corridor, the wooden corridor floor of the footsteps clanged, and strode towards the back pavilion. On the way, they met three maids from the Diecui Palace, and they knelt down in fright when they saw Ge Luofeng holding a steel knife with a hideous face, and one of the maids was frightened and dropped the jug in her hand, and the water was spilled on the ground.

Ge Luofeng shouted coldly: "Where is the princess?" ”

A palace maid trembled her voice and said, "Return...... Returning to the lord of the country, the princess is in ...... In Xiangtang...... Sacrifice! ”

"Sacrifices? To whom is the sacrifice given? Ge Luofeng shouted coldly.

"No...... Ignorance. Several maids said in a trembling voice.

Ge Luofeng snorted and was about to walk, and the three maids just breathed a sigh of relief, when they suddenly saw Ge Luofeng turn around and ask in a deep voice: "Does General Ah Hu often go in and out of Diecui Palace?" ”

The maids' faces were as pale as earth, and they did not dare to speak.

"Say." Ge Luofeng raised his long knife.

"Yes, yes...... Yes...... There were. The three maids were so frightened that they almost became incontinent, and they nodded their heads like pounding garlic.

"Did he stay here?" Ge Luofeng's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire.

"......" The three maids were silent.

Ge Luofeng's teeth chattered, he didn't need an answer anymore, the silence of the maids was the best answer.

"You are all disloyal sluts, and you keep this kind of thing secret for the princess, you are all damned people." Ge Luofeng gritted his teeth and snorted, the long knife in his hand waved, and the cold light flashed, and the head of a barbarian girl rolled to the ground.

The other two maids screamed in fright, their legs and feet were weak, and they collapsed on the ground, unable to move. Ge Luofeng raised his knife and slashed the two maids one by one. After spitting at the foam, he turned around and walked briskly with blood splattered all over his body.

On the way to the incense hall of the apse, Ge Luofeng killed people all the way and cut them when he saw them, and more than a dozen maids in the Diecui Palace died under his steel knife. Everyone here knows about Ah Wan and Ah Hu, but Ge Luofeng doesn't know, this feeling of being deceived and betrayed has made Ge Luofeng about to collapse, they are all people who should be killed and should be killed, if they don't kill them, Ge Luofeng will explode.

Finally, the bloodied Ge Luofeng came to the door of the incense hall, in front of the wood carving door of the incense hall, the light blue incense mist floated out from the inside, and the fragrant air came from the gently shaking bell and the pleasant chanting sound of the sacrifice, the sound of Ge Luofeng is very familiar. It was the voice of Princess Aguan, the voice that touched the heartstrings of Ge Luofeng countless times.

Ge Luofeng slowly walked up the steps, raised his foot and kicked it, and the wood carving door suddenly opened.
