Half a month ago, in the post station five hundred miles outside Luzhou City

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Tonight, the heavens and the earth are quiet.

The cool breeze blowing from the top of the mountain made a piercing cry, like a gong of the underworld, blowing towards the post house at the foot of the mountain, which was shrouded in darkness.

The cool breeze made the two big red lanterns hanging on the gate of the post house sway, and the two post guards who were napping in front of the gate couldn't help but reach out and touch their faces, wrapping themselves in the post guard clothes on their bodies.

In the wee hours of the morning, "Cuckoo, cuckoo." Two cuckoo calls suddenly sounded from the mountains above the inn. Soon, the birdsong disappeared, and in its place two sharp arrows with a little cold light shot from the vast darkness towards the two large red lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the post station at the foot of the mountain.

"Whoosh", the lantern went out, and the outside of the inn fell into a deep darkness.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth were silent, and there was not even a single birdsong and beast cry within a radius of hundreds of meters, and a terrifying silence struck.

"Rustle." The moment the lantern was extinguished, hurried footsteps sounded, there were a lot of people, they moved quickly from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the footsteps were very calm, and they were probably wearing military boots that only the Tang border army could have.

But soon, the footsteps were gone, and the earth was silent again.

The bright moon in the sky revealed a glimmer of light, casting its faint light on the earth, illuminating the hundreds of figures in black nightwalkers and wielding light steel knives hidden in the bushes of the inn.

Perhaps, they should be called shadows, because now they are a group of shadows, a group of shadows that can be seen and cannot be touched.

........

Quiet, quiet nights.

Finally, after some time, the cuckoo's cry sounded again, and at the same time, the shadows wrapped in darkness quickly rushed out of the hidden bushes and rushed towards the inn at the point, which was also shrouded in darkness.

"Bang bang." Two muffled sounds of human dying were heard, and the corpse of the postman fell to the ground, blood still flowing from his neck.

Kill with a single sword

"Bang." The heavy wooden door of the post station was kicked open, and under the leadership of the leader, hundreds of shadows with steel knives rushed in and broke into the station of Nuoda.

Standing in the courtyard of the inn, they looked out at the quiet rooms around them, and the tall, black-clad leader glanced around the rooms, and then he gently raised his empty left hand to the shadows.

The deep eyes, which were not covered by a black cover, revealed only indifference.

Without any words, the shadows rushed quickly towards the quiet rooms around them with steel knives in hand, and each room was covered with indifferent and silent shadows holding steel knives.

"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door, and then ....... And then there was no more.

........

"Ah——!h

The screams broke the quiet post station and broke the peaceful world.

The screams of the women rang out, the cries of the children for help, the guards wielding their knives and the shadows screaming desperately for killing.

"Brush, brush, brush." One after another, huge human heads were cut off from the bed in the guest room, and the body remained in the warm bed, while the bloodied head rolled on the floor of the guest room.

"Puff puff." Without mercy, the shadows holding the steel knives in their hands slashed at the women and children in the room, who were struggling weakly.

"Bang bang." The guards, who had been awakened from their sleep, had just picked up the long knives by the pillow, and before they could stand up, they were broken into the guest room, and the whistling shadows were slashed on the bed.

Blood stained the rooms red, and the cries resounded through the quiet night, this small post house, this post house where hundreds of people lived, completely became a hell tonight, just because their Zhang Dacheng slandered a certain woman, and also touched the bottom line that someone would not allow others to touch in this life!

........

He stood in the courtyard of the inn and watched as his shadows slashed the guards with steel knives, and watched the ragged children and old men cry and run in front of him, and then the shadows chasing behind him slashed their throats one by one.

He watched all this indifferently, and he watched indifferently as those old and weak women and children were driven out by his own men.

"A-Niang, save Ming'er, Ming'er doesn't want to die."

At the age of five or six, the child with tears on his face fell in front of his eyes, his immature and weak body turned into a pool of blood, and blood was still gushing out of his white neck.

"Spare me, please let me go!"

At the age of seventy or eighty, the panicked old man died at his feet, his old and thin body turned into a sea of blood, and his frightened eyes had not yet been closed.

In exchange for only his indifferent gaze and less than a second's gaze.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want!"

There are also women, many women, these women are Zhang Cambodia's family members and wives and concubines, he saw with his own eyes that there are many women who simply strip off their clothes in order to survive, in order to survive from the hands of these terrifying shadows, kneel on the ground and pray to the shadows for their bodies in exchange for life, but in the end, the most is just a corpse without clothes.

Many people died tonight, from seventy or eighty-year-old women to three or four-year-old frail children.

But he did not regret it at all, and his conscience was not condemned in any way.

Because he hurt her, he wanted him to pay for his life, and he wanted him to pay for the lives of hundreds of people in his family.

The slaughter continued, and the chaotic and dark inn was filled with screaming crowds of people fleeing for their lives, and shadows of swords-wielding pursuits.

Blood stained the bluestone floor of the inn, and corpses were almost piled up in the guest rooms and courtyards of the inn.

Soon, the crying gradually faded, and the room was already quiet, and the post station and heaven and earth were at peace again.

Everyone died, almost all of them were killed with a single sword, and everyone was left with a terrible knife mark on their necks.

He was standing in the courtyard, which was densely packed with bloody corpses.

The hundreds of shadows standing near him, the steel knives in their hands had already been stained dark red with blood, and each of them seemed to be shrouded in a dark red light.

........

He looked proudly at the shadows in front of him, he was proud of them, he was proud of being able to train such an elite army.

Although the massacre of the old and weak women and children was nothing, he saw with his own eyes the demeanor of the shadows under his command when they were fighting with the heavily armed guards under the command of Zhang Cambodia.

Zhang Cambodia's family has a total of more than 100 people, and he also brought more than 50 guards when he left, these guards are not ordinary people, let alone Zhang Cambodia's doormen, they are all good hands in the Chang'an Imperial Forest Army.

These fifty soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army were also given to Zhang Cambodia by Li Xian, I don't know why he sent more than 50 brave and warlike soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army to Zhang Cambodia as guards, it can be expected that if it is not himself and the shadows under his command who come today, but Wu Sansi's people......

I'm afraid that the dead soldiers raised under Wu Sansi will suffer a big loss in the hands of these more than 50 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, and I don't know if Zhang Cambodia will be protected by these more than 50 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army and fight his way out of the encirclement!

This is not an exaggeration, look, take a good look at the Royal Guardsmen, although they were caught off guard by the sudden attack, but the ability to put their knives next to their pillows while sleeping, rather than throwing them in the corner of the guest room like their own armor, is a testament to their quality.

Li Xian sent them to protect Zhang Cambodia, which reflected his contradictory side very well.

He couldn't resist Empress Wei, so he drove Zhang Cambodia out of Chang'an, but he didn't want Zhang Cambodia to die in vain, after all, he was able to ascend to the throne by Zhang Cambodia's credit, he remembered the old feelings, so he sent the Imperial Forest Army soldiers in the palace to escort Zhang Cambodia.

If, or if, if it's not him who comes tonight, but Wu Sansi...... It is very likely that Zhang Cambodia will make it to his fiefdom alive.

But alas, there is no if, it is him who comes tonight, and it is him and the shadow under his command who comes.

That's what he's proud of.

Because of those Royal Forest Army soldiers, because of those brave and good fighting Royal Forest Army soldiers, in front of the shadow that he has trained for many years, they were killed and had no power to fight back.

At the beginning, their own side had the upper hand in the sneak attack, but those Royal Forest Army soldiers were not waste, they reacted quickly, and quickly put on their armor to meet the shadow.

And then...... And then there was no more.

In front of the skillful knife skills of the shadows, they were cut throats one by one, like a weak lamb, dead under the steel knives of the shadows.

The ruthlessness of the hand and the sharpness of the blade are amazing.

This is what he is proud of, the Imperial Forest Army of Chang'an City, the Imperial Forest Army soldiers who are responsible for guarding the palace are so vulnerable in front of the shadows, tonight is not in vain, not only let me breathe a bad breath, but also by the way tested the combat power of the Royal Forest Army, good, very good!

It's a pity that there are only three hundred shadows, and these people are still trained by him for three years, a thousand people, sent to the border pass, worked hard for three years, and finally only came back alive Three hundred, how can the shadows not be brave, not to mention, since he arrived in Luzhou, a month, just one month, the big and small bandits near Luzhou have disappeared.

This is an elite force pushed out with blood and dry bones, and this is also an important force for him to seek a big position in the future!

Right now, the shadows are still scattered in the four corners of the station, looking at the corpses on the ground and the corpses in the guest rooms, and if they find any fish that slips through the net, they will kill them immediately.

At this time, a guest room on the right side of the post station still resounded with a few sporadic fighting sounds.

"Your Highness, all the old and weak members of Zhang Cambodia's family have been beheaded, and no one is alive, and now the old thief is being protected by several royal forest army experts in the wing room on the west side." With a strong bow in his hand, Colliers came to him with a fist and responded in a deep voice.

He nodded, "Yuan Yi, I want to see the living Zhang Cambodia." ”

Gao Lishi, who was also dressed in black and had a tall figure, heard his master's words, tilted his head slightly, and then straightened his waist, "No." ”

Gao Lishi took the shadows to besiege Zhang Cambodia, he closed his eyes, and calmly stood in the courtyard of the post station full of corpses, waiting quietly.

"Brothers, protect your lordship, kill!" The sound of the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army fighting reached his ears.

"Who the hell are you! The old man is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you do such a thing in my Datang territory! Do you still have the royal law? ”

"Wu Sansi, this is a matter between the old man and you, how can you implicate the innocent!" Zhang Cambodia's angry roar also reached his ears.

Finally, fifteen minutes later, Zhang Khan Zhi, who was ragged, his hair was messy, and he was brought to him by the shadows.
