There was silence under the north gate of Yangzhou, and under the dark night, only the torch brazier bloomed with brilliant light, and from time to time there was a crackling sound, but it was even more lonely.

Bursts of bloody air rose with the night wind, hundreds of corpses in the field were filled with arrows, and the bluestone pavement was stained red with blood, and there was no breath of life.

Near the direction of the city gate, Yangzhou Marquis Yufu did not die, lying at Yang Ping'an's feet and raising his head, looking at Yang Ping'an in horror, trembling all over but not daring to make a sound, with a sharp arrow in his leg The blood has dried up.

Wang Yufu is not the only lucky person who wants to escape from Yangzhou City, four of the six people who followed him before were not killed, Yang Ping'an's six shots, killed two people on the spot, injured three people, and one shot missed.

But these four people were also like Wang Yufu, as if they were petrified and stood on the spot, looking at Yang Ping'an in horror, and they didn't dare to come out.

It was so terrifying, no one could see how Yang Ping'an made a move, only a few crisp sounds were heard, two people were killed, three were injured and bleeding profusely, and the only one who was not injured also felt a gust of wind passing over his face, which made his face hurt.

All four were frightened by the imminent death and incomprehensible phenomena.

It's not that they haven't seen a vicious hidden weapon, but there has never been a hidden weapon that can have such a great effect, can have such a fast speed, and can bring them such a big shock.

"Fatty, what are you doing in a daze." Yang Ping'an shouted lightly, An Lushan immediately pounced, and knocked the four guys who were still in shock to the ground with three strokes and five divisions by two, and dragged them in front of Yang Ping'an.

At the same time, the five hundred soldiers who set up an ambush also divided into a part to rummage through the corpses to check whether there were any escapees, the other part quickly surrounded Yang Ping'an, and the rest stayed in place to draw their bows and arrows again to prevent accidents.

"Do you want to kill me?" Yang Ping'an kicked Wang Yufu out.

Bai Yueli The assassination he encountered in Taishou Mansion was done by Wang Yufu, so when he forced the truth from this moment, he asked Li Linfu to take the initiative to take a photo, and this is the scene tonight.

"Don't dare, the villain doesn't dare, the colt is magnanimous, bypass the villain." Wang Yufu didn't dare to put the Hou Ye's score anymore, and quickly climbed to Yang Ping'an's feet, and kept begging.

Xu Yuan also came to Yang Ping'an's side, and he knew at this moment that someone actually wanted to assassinate Yang Ping'an: "Donkey, he sent someone to assassinate you today." ”

"It's me who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, it's me who was blinded by lard, I shouldn't have been, I shouldn't have listened to Ning Zheng's words, I shouldn't have offended the horse, I know it's wrong, ask the horse to bypass me, I will definitely compensate the horse."

That corpse deeply stimulated Wang Yufu's "young and fragile" heart, and he no longer dared to doubt Yang Ping'an's ruthlessness, let alone Yang Ping'an's dare not kill him.

"Ning Zheng, what kind of person is it?"

Ning is Wang Yufu's henchman, good skills and brains, so he won Wang Yufu's trust, a few days ago the Zhou army invaded Yangzhou, Wang Yufu wanted to escape from Yangzhou, but was blocked by Xu Yuan and Yang Ping'an, Yangzhou is even more closed.

At present, Yangzhou is in danger, Wang Yufu no longer wants to stay here, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the wall, he does not want his happy life to end.

But Yangzhou is locked down, unless it is a bird, the two-legged one will definitely not be able to leave.

Ning Zheng was very understanding, so he proposed to assassinate Yang Ping'an, because Xu Yuan commanded the soldiers to resist the invading Zhou army at the head of the city, and everything in the city was decided by Yang Ping'an.

Secretly Ning Zheng said that as long as he killed Yang Ping'an and then stole the seal letter of Taishoufu, he could deceive Beicheng and Wang Yufu could get out of the city smoothly.

Wang Yufu was the master with Yang Rui behind his back, and at first there were some reasons, no matter how Yang Ping'an was a concubine, but he couldn't resist Ning Zheng's persuasion, and finally nodded and sent five people to cooperate with Ning Zheng, and sneaked in while the Taishou Mansion was empty.

"Damn, Ning Zheng, that bastard, he did it, he offended the donkey, this beast ran away by himself, but he hurt me, donkey, please let me go, I will definitely find out that bastard, and correct him in front of you, so as to dispel the horse's anger."

Asked Qing Ning Zheng about his appearance, Yang Ping'an snorted coldly: "Snort, no need, that Ning Zheng is waiting for you on Huangquan Road now, you go to Huangquan Road Mountain and tell him to understand, the fat man will do it." ”

"Okay." In An Lushan's eyes, how could there be any Yangzhou Hou, even if Yang Rui was in person, he couldn't match Yang Ping'an's words, he took a big knife from the soldier next to him, and directly cut off Wang Yufu's head with one knife.

His movements were extremely fast, without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yuan on the side wanted to dissuade him, but when he opened his mouth, he saw a handful of blood spurting out.

"Alas, donkey, you ......" Xu Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Even if he wants to murder the donkey, he can't kill him like this......"

"What are you?" Yang Guozhong pushed Xu Yuan away, "My eldest brother was assassinated in your Taishou Mansion, and you still dare to shield the mastermind, you can't die if you want to." ”

"Guozhong." Yang Ping'an stopped Yang Guozhong, "I believe Lao Xu didn't mean that." ”

Xu Yuan really didn't mean that, he also wanted Wang Yufu to make trouble in the city at this time, if it wasn't for Yang Ping'an's proper handling, he was afraid that Yang Zhongzhen would be broken from the inside.

It's just that this Wang Yufu has an extraordinary background, and Yang Rui also sheltered him because of his uncle, even if he wants to kill him, he must act according to the rules, write to the court after the trial, report the death penalty, and wait until the criminal department approves it.

But Yang Ping'an actually killed him directly.

Xu Yuan didn't pity Wang Yufu, but he didn't want Yang Ping'an to get into trouble.

Knowing that he had misunderstood a good person, Yang Guozhong smiled and pushed it aside, Yang Ping'an smiled: "Lao Xu, don't worry, I just want to kill him, his crime is more than that, you four, do you still have to resist." ”

These four people, plus the two who were killed by Yang Ping'an, are obviously different from Wang Yufu and others, although judging from their clothes, they should be subordinates, but the performance just now is enough to prove that these six people are by no means as simple as subordinates.

In the face of Yang Ping'an's questioning, the four of them still wanted to quibble, but they were beaten by An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, and then Yang Ping'an said coldly: "You don't know each other and just want to run for your life, haha, it's a big joke." ”

Unscathed from the rain of arrows, these six people were not weak, and with tacit understanding, the two threw Wang Yufu out to distract Yang Ping'an's attention, and then the two attacked Yang Ping'an from the left and right, and the other four went straight to the city gate.

With such a cooperation and such an obvious purpose, who can believe that they don't know each other and just want to run for their lives.

"If I guess correctly, there must be an ambush of the Zhou army outside the city, and the real purpose of the few of you is to open the city gate and lead the Zhou army into the city, am I right."

In the end, Yang Ping'an shouted, and a cool breeze blew on him, and he was hunting in clothes, as if he was emitting a majestic momentum, which made everyone else look sideways.

Xu Yuan gasped, only to understand that tonight was actually in danger, and at this time he reacted, why did the Zhou army withdraw inexplicably, it turned out that he just didn't want to lose in vain, and wanted to attack the city at night to fight.

"Damn, the Zhou army's annihilation actually blended into the city."

"Lao Xu, they may not be the annihilation of the Zhou army."

"It's not Zhou Jun's annihilation."

"That's right." Yang Ping'an nodded, his eyes flashed with a light, staring at the four people, "They are shadow guards." ”

Shadow Guard.

Many of the people present gasped.

What is the shadow guard, that is a great weapon that Yang Rui relies on to rule, even if it is now in the hands of Xiao Taishi, his prestige has not been damaged.

The role of the shadow guard, in addition to supervising hundreds of officials, is to spy on the enemy's situation and assassinate the enemy generals, in short, to maintain the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

But now he colluded with Zhou Jun and planned to betray Yangzhou......

"Colt, is there a misunderstanding?" Xu Yuan, as the Yangzhou Taishou who is a person in the court, naturally knows more about the shadow guards, and once upon a time he was also monitored by the shadow guards.

He didn't have the slightest affection for the shadow guard, but it was still difficult for him to accept that the shadow guard colluded with the enemy army to betray Yangzhou.

"Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, the first instance will know." Yang Ping'an said lightly.

Xu Yuan nodded, and immediately ordered someone to suppress these four people and detain them separately, he wanted to interrogate them personally, but it was not at this moment.

At this moment, he has more important things to do: "Donkey, if it is as you said, there is an ambush of the Zhou army outside the city, how will you be?" ”

"I'm going to catch turtles in an urn."

The north of Yangzhou can be different from the south of Yangzhou, which connects the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and even if the Zhou army sends people to enter the city at night, they do not dare to send too many soldiers and horses, so as not to alarm the defenders or attract the Tang army in the rear of Yangzhou.

And the Tang army in the city is less than 5,000, just experienced a hard battle to defend the city, most of the people are sleepy and lack of horses, as long as there are more than 1,000 cavalry can disrupt Yangzhou, but as long as the south gate of Yangzhou is controlled, and the army outside the city is led into the city, then Yangzhou can not be defended.

Therefore, Yang Ping'an has already made a plan, prepared everything, and hit the attacking enemy army in this place, An Lushan and Yang Guozhong have already begun to deploy, and deployed a large number of dead grass and wood near the city gate to ignite fire, and on the periphery of these fire-causing things, it is to arrange a punch to resist horses and antlers, etc., to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing through the fire ring into the city.

After rejecting the horse and deer antlers, the spears and bows were ready, and they were bound to inflict heavy losses on the Zhou army.

When everything was ready, Yang Ping'an turned to Li Linfu, who didn't say a word but just hugged his fists and walked towards the city gate with a solemn face.

His task was so heavy that he was almost out of breath, he had to go to meet the enemy army outside the city, persuade the other party to believe that he had entered the city, entered the siege set by Yang Ping'an, and at the same time was assassinated, he had to find a way to save his life.

This is a very difficult task, for him can be described as a life of nine deaths, but there is no way, this is his chance to regain Yang Ping'an's trust, and it is also his only chance to live.

Fortunately, for a person like him who lives by his heart and mouth, although this task is dangerous, he can also have some certainty, which is where his value lies, except that he is afraid that it will be difficult to find one person competent in the entire Yangzhou City.

The torches and braziers near the city gate were all extinguished, several soldiers opened the city gate, and Li Linfu was alone, and his thin figure disappeared into the darkness.

The city gate cave that used to be used by people to enter and exit is now like the bloody mouth of a wild beast, wide open, I don't know whose surname is going to be swallowed tonight, and how many people's surnames are swallowed......
