Chapter 454: The Knife in the Cold Night Wind (I)

On a cold night, the north wind howled.

Wan Jie, who was in the Yulinwei camp, felt particularly cold, and this feeling did not improve after drinking two pots of fine bamboo leaf green.

Because he is not cold in body, but cold in heart.

He had long known that Dongfang Yuan would not be willing to be silent, and sooner or later he would ascend to the golden throne that symbolized supreme power, but he didn't expect him to be in such a hurry.

Xiangguo's urgency caught Wanjia off guard.

Dongfang walked in style, and went to the south without leaving a word. In the eyes of everyone, Wan Jia, who was very close to the Dongfang family, became the focus of the entire capital for a while, because in the eyes of others, Wan Jia seemed to have become the contact person of the rebels in the capital.

Many courtiers understood this truth, and they thought that the emperor also understood. But what is surprising is that the emperor killed more than 2,000 people in a row, but he didn't move 10,000 families.

Everyone secretly sighed: It turns out that when the power is great to a certain extent, it can really avoid evil and turn good fortune.

However, only 10,000 families know that this is not the case.

The emperor didn't move them, maybe he didn't find a suitable excuse, or maybe he still had good thoughts about Wanjia. Regardless of whether the latter guess is done accurately or not, the Wan family regards this as their last hope.

No matter which one of the Wan families they are in, they have shown extraordinary diligence and low profile. Do what you should do desperately, and resolutely don't do what you shouldn't do. Not only that, but they also handed over all the 30,000 taels of gold they had been greedy for ink over the years, and if they didn't know how many dirty things they had done, they would have met the most honest and honest loyal ministers.

Among them, Wanjie is the most.

It's not because he has changed his mind, but because he knows that he was like a dog when he flattered Dongfang Yuanxing. Not to mention, when Tang An trespassed into Xiangguo's mansion, he used his private army to block the road, which has become a well-known story. This alone is enough to make him branded as an "Oriental family".

Now, most of those who have done the same thing have become ghosts. In the dead of night, Wan Jie would always see blue-gray faces, staring at them and sticking out his tongue to accompany them.

He was afraid of death. Because I don't want to die, I'm so scared that I want to die.

He didn't know when the emperor's butcher's knife would fall on his neck, so he could only suppress the fear in his heart and get through every day with all his might. The only thing he was looking forward to now was the arrival of the Far Voyage to the East to save his soul, which was fragile enough to withstand a little wind and rain.

But many things always backfire. He didn't wait for the east, but waited for another group of people.

"Report - General, three thousand men and horses suddenly came to the east gate of the camp!"

Listening to the report of his descendants, Wan Jie shuddered all over, and on his dark face, which had lost a circle, the two white eyes that stared at him seemed to jump out of his sockets.

"Three thousand? Which side is it? ”

"It seems to be a soldier from the Western Regions who just returned to Beijing a few days ago..."

"Click!"

The flask fell to the ground and fell into a piece of broken porcelain. Wan Jie's face was pale, and he couldn't forget the figure that he was riding a high-headed horse and walking at the forefront of the triumphant army a few days ago, and he couldn't forget it when it turned to ashes.

Tang An!

What does this haunting villain want to do? Wan Jie had a sense of foreboding in his heart, but after thinking about it, the other party only had 3,000 people, and even if his 8,000 Yulin army had ordinary people to take turns, there were 4,000 soldiers and horses. He wants to find trouble, can he find it?

"Let's go, take enough people and horses, let's meet this little bastard!"

******************************************

Outside the tent of the camp, the lights were bright.

When Wan Jie arrived, he found that more than 2,000 Yulin troops rushed to hear the news, but the soldiers who hastily put on their armor were disheveled and loose, and they didn't look like the first iron guard in the capital.

On the other hand, outside the camp, 3,000 men and horses with torches in their hands were divided into four queues. Chen Buping, Ji Chen, Li Dazhuang, and Ma Shang ranked first among the four teams. The four teams of men and horses stood upright, and the three thousand faces that were not angry and self-righteous were cold, like a group of killing gods against the backdrop of the bright fire extinguishing light.

At the front of the line, Tang An stretched lazily, wearing a luxurious purple satin robe and tying up his hair in a high bun, like a gentleman with a lot of money, and looked incompatible with the well-trained army in front of him.

Next to him, a middle-aged man wearing a bronze mask seemed to be hidden in the wind and rain, and the short knife he held in his hand made all Yu Linwei secretly frightened.

They may be wondering who this judge-like demon is going to take to hell tonight.

In the face of such a murderous force, Yu Linwei's momentum was obviously weakened. They had no doubt that the mere standing posture could make people feel a terrifying pressure, which was enough to prove that the troops in front of them must have been tempered by blood and fire. Compared with people who have really killed people, Yu Linwei, who only needs to put on a show to bluff people on weekdays, but is actually used to enjoying comfort, feels scared.

Fortunately, just when everyone was at a loss, Wan Jie arrived.

As a deputy general, Lu Ming was overjoyed, as if he didn't want to lose the prestige of Yulinwei, he was usually used to acting for the tiger, he immediately glared angrily, and roared: "Tang An, you are so bold!" Yulin Wei is an important place in the capital, you dare to lead people to break through, what is your intention! If you don't leave quickly, watch out for your head. ”

Tang An smiled disdainfully, turned his head and asked, "Brother Chen, what crime should be punished in Datang for the following crimes?" ”

Needless to say about the consequences of disobeying military orders in the following crimes? Chen Buping said respectfully: "Lord Hou, if you dare to commit this, there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”

"There is no forgiveness for killing... That's a lot easier. Tang An showed a hideous smile and snorted coldly: "Ma Shang rate! ”

The little man with black skin who seemed to have disappeared into the night answered the question, and without saying a word, he drew a feathered arrow from the quiver behind him, and the body of the arrow rested on the bowstring longer than his body.

Just one action has made Yu Linwei collectively change color.

They are responsible for the safety of the capital, and their authority is amazing. Whether it is the Bianjing Mansion or the Criminal Department, they have always had to look at their faces and behave, except for a flying gate that reaches the heavens, they can be said to be not afraid of anyone, and they have always been rampant in the capital. When has such a group of big men been targeted with arrows?

"Be bold!"

Wan Jie, who had just arrived, happened to see this scene, and his face turned blue with anger. He knew that Tang An would find trouble for himself after gaining power, but he didn't expect the other party to be so bold and reckless, blatantly leading the army to besiege the camp, and raising arrows to point arrows at his own people, really thinking that he was all vegetarian!

He trembled and pointed at Tang An: "You traitor, it's hard to rebel!" ”

Tang An smiled casually: "I'm sorry, thanks to the emperor's love, I have just been given the title of 'Zhenxi Hou', according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you should all salute and say hello." And Wandutong's subordinates not only ignored it, but even spoke ill of each other, threatening Ben Hou to take my head. In order to uphold the national program and take the military aircraft seriously, it is impossible to say... Ben Hou wants to teach these people under the command of Wandu what 'rules' are called. ”

Wan Jie's pupils shrank, and he roared angrily: "You dare! ”

"Marchand!"

The little black-faced man grinned, and the two fingers that pinched the bowstring loosened lightly.

"Whoosh!"

The military official named Lu Ming thought that they had all been reunified, and the clumsy performance of this group of beam-jumping clowns should come to an end. But he never dreamed that Tang An would really dare to order the arrows to be released!

With a short cry, the dark arrows were like electric meteors, and the clusters of arrows that flashed with cold light kept approaching and amplifying in Lu Ming's eyes, until they sounded with a "poof".

Lu Ming's head was carried backwards by the body of the arrow, and the tip of the arrow entered his forehead, and the back of his head came out, leaving a little blood red. The strong man who had just been invincible collapsed like a deflated ball in an instant.

Kill with one arrow.
