Chapter 591: Acting on Orders
Excluding the corpses lying on the ground, there were at least 4,000 people on the top of the mountain, all of whom were desperately killing towards the cliff.
Wang Yan led a team of people to fight on the front line, desperately pulling the front line apart by a hundred steps.
The soldiers who followed behind Wang Yan were as if they had drunk stimulants, not to mention bravery, but also fearless of death, smashing left and right in the group of assassins, drenched in blood, like the god of war.
Wang Yan is like a lawn mower, frantically harvesting the lives of assassins, killing wherever he goes.
Soon, it was not only Wang Yan who stood in the way of the Assassins, but also the mountains of corpses.
The battle situation is at a stalemate, and if you want to successfully assassinate the emperor, you must first defeat Wang Yan, but until this moment, there are no powerful people among the assassins to come forward to balance Wang Yan, and the archers on the dragon pillar are still inseparable from the mysterious man in white, and they have no time to take care of Wang Yan's side, resulting in Wang Yan, a tyrannosaurus rex, killing all sides in a group of little lambs.
Suddenly, there was a faint roar in the mountain road, and gradually, the sound became louder and louder.
The archer on the dragon's pillar kicked the mysticus a few paces away from the mystery's sword, then plunged a special iron arrow into the fire from a shelf by the fire, and shot it into the air, the flaming arrow dazzling at the setting light.
The desperately fighting assassin saw the rocket, and after a few breaths, he retreated like a tide towards the cliffs on both sides.
Wang Yan didn't chase after him, and retreated to the emperor's side, and the coiled dragon dragged on the ground, looking at the four directions with cold eyes.
Half a pillar of incense was not enough, and a large group of armor soldiers rushed out of the mountain road, their armor drenched with blood, obviously after a fierce battle.
Less than half of the Assassins fled the battlefield, and the rest consciously divided into two teams, one team rushed to the armor to fight to the death, delaying time, and the other team continued to flee the battlefield.
The archers and mysterious men on the dragon pillar are gone.
Shifang Invincible walked out of the mountain road with a solemn face, and at a glance, he saw Wang Yan, who was standing hundreds of steps away, like an iron tower, and his face gradually receded, revealing a touch of relief and relaxation.
The invincible of the ten directions didn't care about the battle on both sides, and walked straight to Wang Yan, who got out of the way, revealing the figure of the emperor and queen not far away.
Shifang Invincible walked in front of the emperor, knelt on one knee, clenched his hands into fists, and his voice was like a muffled thunder.
"The old minister is late to save the car, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!"
"It's not too late! Not too late! General, please get up. As he spoke, the emperor stepped forward to help the invincible of the ten directions up, his eyes were full of excitement and relief, and the corners of his eyes flashed with tears.
"Your Majesty later, when the sons and daughters kill all these traitors, the old minister is escorting Your Majesty down the mountain."
"Good! Good! Good! The emperor nodded frequently.
The invincible ten directions guarded the emperor's side to appease his mind, the armor soldiers frantically slaughtered the assassins who fought to the death, and the army of the tiger and wolf under the command of the invincible ten parties was no worse than the thousand armor soldiers sent to Wang Yan, coupled with the large number of people, although the assassins fought with a mortal heart, but the reality was often cruel, and the assassins who failed to escape were slaughtered with half a pillar of incense.
The armor began to gather towards the edge of the cliff.
Suddenly, a soldier quickly raised his bow, and the arrow was already on the string.
Sou!
Sharp arrows shot in the direction of the cliff, and the invincible of the ten directions stood up in front of the emperor.
But the arrow was not shot at the emperor, but at the queen, just after the appearance of the invincible in the ten directions, the queen distanced herself from the emperor, and at this moment, it was too late for the invincible in the ten directions to be saved.
Yue'e was thinking about things with peace of mind since the arrival of the invincible from the ten directions, the formation was noisy, she didn't hear the sound of breaking the wind, and when she felt that something was wrong, the arrow had already arrived in front of her, and she didn't have the slightest time to react.
The arrow flashed green, and at a glance, it was known that it was fed with poison, and the poison on the arrow shot at this time was mostly the kind of blood that sealed the throat.
The sharp arrow rushed towards Dugu Meier's chest, Dugu Meier looked at the sharp arrow approaching in a daze, she was also thinking about something, and she had just reacted.
Time seemed to slow down, and the movement of the arrow also slowed down, and the sharp arrow slowly approached Dugu Meier's chest, and when it was less than a foot away from her chest, a hand suddenly broke into the picture, holding the arrow steadily from the middle, and time stopped.
The archer threw away the bow and arrow after shooting the arrow and got into the crowd, everyone's attention was on the arrow, and then to find the assassin, it was impossible to find it, Dugu Meier looked at the stopped arrow coldly, she knew that time did not stop, it was the arrow that stopped.
Wang Yan withdrew his hand, broke the arrow into two pieces, and threw it on the ground.
Just when Dugu Meier was far away from the emperor, Wang Yan took the initiative to approach Dugu Meier's side, there were invincible in ten directions, and there was no need to worry about the emperor's safety, but it was the queen, Wang Yan always had a bad premonition, and now the premonition appeared, Wang Yan did not dare to be careless, and stayed by the queen's side.
The emperor's gaze at Wang Yan was filled with anger, and the Ten Directions Invincible sensed the emperor's emotions, but he didn't take it to heart, just because of the queen.
Although Dugu Huang is bent on usurping the throne, but Dugu Meier and Dugu Huang are not all the way, some of Dugu Huang's conspiracies have failed in these years, and there is also the credit of Dugu Meier, seeing that the queen is unharmed, Shifang Invincible breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Wang Yan's gaze more appreciative.
Yue'e stood in front of Dugu Mei'er and looked around vigilantly, she didn't dare to be distracted, the matter of the cold palace, it was not too late to go back and think about it.
The assassins were killed, the blocked mountain road was cleared, and the emperor and queen descended the mountain surrounded by armor soldiers.
The invincible deputy general of the Ten Directions ordered a team of people to stay behind to search the mountain and find out the situation.
After going down the mountain, the team was divided into two roads, all the way to escort the emperor back to the palace, the Temple of Heaven was destroyed and dilapidated, none of the ceremonial officials were spared, the ritual of sacrificing to heaven could not be carried out, but the ritual of sacrificing to the earth was not delayed.
The ritual is divided into two parts, the part of the sacrifice to the sky, the emperor and the queen participate together, with the emperor as the main body, praying for the wind and rain in the sky, no natural disasters and epidemics, and the part of the sacrifice to the earth, only the queen is needed, and the earth is prayed for a bumper harvest and the safety of the people in the altar of the earth.
Shifang Invincible escorted the emperor back to the palace and the task of guarding the queen was handed over to Wang Yan, 30,000 armor soldiers, counting Wang Yan's command, nearly 4,000 people were lost on the East Mountain, and countless wounded people were injured, and the Ten Directions Invincible gave Wang Yan 5,000 armor soldiers, all of whom were intact and slightly injured, and the wounded under Wang Yan's command followed the Ten Directions Invincible, Xiao Feng was lying on a stretcher, his face pale.
Thirty miles east of the East Mountain, is the palace where the Temple of Earth is located, and looking down from the top of the East Mountain, you can see the position of the Temple of Earth.
The trees within a radius of ten miles outside the palace where the Temple of Earth is located have been cut down, and there are two guards stationed around, which is why the Ten Directions Invincible only gave Wang Yan 5,000 people, and the Palace was already guarded by 20,000 people, compared to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth is safer.
The Temple of Earth is in the middle of the palace, and the appearance is almost the same as that of the Temple of Heaven, and the face is carved with sacrificial texts.
When going down the mountain, Wang Yan simply washed his armor and washed his face, and finally looked like a person.
At this time, Wang Yan's lieutenant general has been replaced by another lieutenant general who is invincible in the ten directions, Wang Yan fed Xiao Feng a ten-day life-saving pill, which hung his qi, and he was just treated by the imperial doctor on the mountain, and now his life is saved.
The sun is setting, the sky turns into a red glow, green on the top and gray on the bottom, there is a touch of burnt red in the middle, a person under the setting xia rides leisurely towards the team, the person who came is wearing a veil, Wang Yan still recognized her identity at a glance, ordered the deputy general to lead the team to continue to move forward, and he left the team to meet the person.
"Sister, why are you here?" Wang Yan stepped forward and shouted affectionately.
"Let's see if you're hurt." Murong Yao'er said and looked Wang Yan up and down. "It seems to be fine, since it's okay, then I'll go."
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and asked with a smile.
"Sister, the person who just entangled the white-clothed archer on the mountain, but Miss Yu?"
"It's her." Murong Yao'er replied flatly. "Needless to say, words of thanks, she also did what she was told."
