Without the secret passage, losing the hearts of the people, the battle losses were nearly 30,000, and the troops were on par with the official army.

Huo Yan, the master of the White Lotus Sect Fire Hall and the general of the Xiangzhou Army, slowly paced in the tent, and the generals were all invited out of the tent, and he was the only one in the tent at this time.

Huo Yan joined the White Lotus Sect at the age of eighteen, and two years later he was promoted to the deputy hall master of the Fire Hall, and in the next battle of Hangu Pass, the black fox suddenly appeared and defeated the White Lotus army, and the previous Fire Hall Master was also killed in the melee, and the Fire Hall Department was in charge of the palace.

In the next battle of Hangu Pass, the most serious damage was the fire hall, and the other four halls and four gates, although they were also wounded, they were not as tragic as the fire hall.

After the Great War, cracks began to appear within the White Lotus Sect, and after a period of fermentation, the contradictions became bigger and bigger, and they were about to fall apart.

Jiutian Niangniang appeared, took Huotang under his command, set it as a pro-army, Huotang only took less than ten days of effort, and recovered seventy percent of its strength, Huoyan was also under the command of Jiutian Niangniang, with thunderous means, quelled the civil strife.

Since then, the fire hall has continued to grow, and then it has become an army, and the hall master Huo Yan has also been named the White Lotus General by Jiutian Niangniang, commanding the 150,000 elites of the White Lotus Fire Hall.

Huo Yan's loyalty to Jiutian Niangniang is undoubted, he is one of the few people in the White Lotus Sect who has seen the true face of Jiutian Niangniang, and it is said in the White Lotus Sect that Huoyan's soul was taken away by Jiutian Niangniang.

Huo Yan didn't refute it, because what they said was not wrong, Huo Yan was indeed fascinated, what everyone didn't know was that Jiutian Niangniang had made him a promise, and Huo Yan had always kept this promise in his heart and never forgotten it.

The purpose of this visit was to consume, but now I can't contact the internal response, and because of the black fox's means, I lost the hearts of the people, and it was myself who was consumed by the strong attack.

The generals stayed outside the tent and did not disperse, and it didn't take long for Huo Yan to call the general who spoke for General Xu into the tent.

"Boren, if he captures his woman, will he really leave the city?"

"The last general is sure that even if he doesn't lead troops, he will come out to save people, and when the time comes, the general will set up a net to capture him, won't Youzhou City be at his fingertips?"

"Okay, I see, you can step down."

"Whoa!"

Lu Boren withdrew from the tent and went back to his tent, and the leaders who were guarding outside the tent waited for a while, and when they saw that Huo Yan was not summoned, they each returned to their tents.

As night fell, the fires inside and outside the city were bright.

In the wounded barracks, the bloody atmosphere was so thick that it was suffocating, Wang Yan was patrolling the wounded and sick camp, and the blood on his hands had not yet had time to be wiped off, he couldn't remember how many soldiers he had bandaged his wounds, and he couldn't count them.

In one afternoon's effort, half of the 1,294 seriously wounded soldiers failed to survive and returned to Huangquan.

There were two huge bonfires next to the wounded barracks, and the raging flames were not celebrating, but burning the bodies of the deceased, the one on the left was burning the officers and soldiers, and the one on the right was burning the White Lotus traitors.

When Wang Yan came out of the wounded barracks, the bonfire was still burning vigorously, and there were more than a dozen soldiers around the bonfire collecting the ashes, putting the ashes into a small bag, and then tying them with a small rope, and at one end of the small rope was tied a small name tag with the names of the fallen soldiers.

Although Wang Yan has long been accustomed to seeing death, he still feels a little sad in the face of the death of his subordinates.

The four gates are still tightly guarded, Guan Ping and Feng Pojun led people to patrol the city, and the mole was busy destroying the secret passages, and after the first battle, those secret passages were damaged to varying degrees, and the difficulty of destruction was greatly reduced, and the speed was also accelerated.

Wang Yan returned to the city tower, Xiao Feng heard the movement, retracted his senses, saw Wang Yan, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare meals.

..

There is a city god temple in the north of Youzhou City, at this time in the dead of night, more than a dozen black shadows slipped out from behind the temple, the figure was agile, constantly shuttling in the dark, hiding the figure, evading several patrols, and soon touched the base of the wall of the state pastor's mansion.

The black shadows exchanged glances with each other, the leading black shadow nodded, jumped forward, and the two black shadows guarding the side quickly stepped forward, overlapped their hands, and paddled his feet, and the leading black shadow climbed the courtyard wall and quickly climbed in.

The rest of the black shadows followed him, and soon there were only two of the more than a dozen black shadows left, and after sending their partners into the mansion, the two of them hid in the shadows and hid their figures.

The layout of the Governor's Mansion was not a secret at all, and the black shadow followed the planned route all the way to the back house of the Governor's Mansion.

The defense of the outer courtyard of the state pastoral mansion was indeed tight, but it still allowed the black shadow to take advantage of the loophole.

Climb over the wall in front of you and you will enter the inner house.

The courtyard wall of the inner courtyard was only one foot lower than the outer courtyard, and the black shadow repeated his old trick and entered the inner house, leaving only two people to stand guard.

As the majority of the army entered the inner courtyard, two dark shadows began to hide, and the two separated, one climbing a tree and the other aiming at a flower bush.

The black shadow ran quickly to the flowers, and was about to squat down, when he heard a muffled sound behind him, and when he looked back, he was shocked.

The companion who had just gone up the tree to hide was lying on the ground at the moment, without moving, and the black shadow knew that something was wrong and was about to send a signal.

Burst!

Half of the long sword burst out of the throat, and with a slight spin, the black shadow's head fell to the ground, and at the same time, a dense sound of breaking wind sounded in the inner courtyard, and the sound of breaking wind lasted for a long time before stopping.

Yu Fei Bai flew into the inner house, and at this moment, the inner house had turned into a sea of feather arrows, and the fourteen black shadows that sneaked in were all shot into hedgehogs, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Soon, the White House guards poured in, collected the crossbow arrows and corpses, and cleaned up the bloodstains, and after cleaning up, the inner courtyard returned to its former appearance, but the arrow marks on the bluestone slab could not be erased.

"Miss Yu, what should we do with these corpses?"

"Send it to the city head and give it to Wang Yan." Yu Feibai commanded. "Send those two alive too."

"Whoa." The White House guard responded. "Girl, the secret passage in the City God Temple has been filled."

"What's going on in Xiangzhou?"

"As Miss expected, the Black Fox launched an attack on the White Lotus Sect's lair, the Fire Flame Army is not there, the White Lotus Sect's deployment in Xiangzhou has suffered heavy losses, and it has been defeated and retreated, and the news of asking for help will reach tomorrow."

"Convey this news to Wang Yan as well."

"Whoa."

..

Wang Yan had already eaten, Xiao Feng went to inspect other doors, and the two brothers stood behind Wang Yan and were silent.

"Heavenly time, after the White Lotus Sect is destroyed, what should we do against the Black Fox?"

"The subordinates think that the young master can make a deal with the black fox."

"What's the deal?"

"The black fox destroyed the White Lotus, most likely because he wanted to annex the resources of the White Lotus Sect, the root of the black fox is not in Xiangzhou, this time the young master helped the black fox, and then he only needs to reveal a little bit of ambition, and he will definitely be able to reap a good result."
