The night was shrouded in dark clouds, and the black pressure was like lead, and when they arrived ten miles outside the Dragon Bone City, Li Xunlian and the others stopped.

"There should be a trap area ahead. Ruan Lin said in a deep voice, after her investigation, if there is no mistake, a seemingly inconspicuous bluestone in front of her is the symbol of this trap area.

It stands to reason that this kind of secret is difficult to probe, but Ruan Lin has her own means, and as one of the former Imperial Court Shadow Guards, her ability is beyond doubt.

Li Xunlian nodded, then looked around, retracted his gaze after a moment, and said, "Wait first, this time Zhu Tong's troops should launch an attack." ”

The dragon bone city is a hundred miles in circumference, and the defense line is extremely tight, but the continuous battle with Zhu Tong has made the strength of the city empty, it is not accurate to say that the emptiness, to be precise, it should be that the strength of the four key city defense points in the southeast and northwest has been seriously weakened, if Zhu Tong launches a general attack on one of them, the troops on all sides must gather to resist the enemy, this is where Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong's plan lies, and only in this way can they have the opportunity to go deep into the center of the dragon bone city and capture and kill the king.

Of course, the strength of Dragonbone City has plummeted, and Zhu Tong's army is not very comfortable, although the number is still quite large, but in addition to the wounded soldiers, the actual combat strength is only 350,000 people.

But I have to say that Zhu Tong's imperial army does have a set, and no one can figure out how many available soldiers he has in his hands, Li Xunlian can't, and Cheng Wang can't.

It's as if since the beginning of the attack on the Southlands, his army has always been 100,000 horses, and he has not lost a single soldier.

"Childe, why do I always feel that something is not quite right. Su frowned, and the throbbing in his heart became thicker and thicker, almost to the point that his heart was beating wildly.

This was certainly not his timidity, but an indescribable sense of unease.

Li Xunlian just wanted to answer, but the sound of a queue suddenly came from the direction of Dragon Bone City, and at the same moment, the defense area in the north of the city, which was dozens of miles away, shouted to kill Zhentian, even here, it could be heard very clearly.

"Zhu Tong should have done it. ”

The attack point they chose was the defense area in the south of the city, according to the news, the defense here was relatively weak, and the trap area had been attacked by Zhu Tong several times, and the Xuanlei in it could no longer be supplied enough, so choosing this place could greatly reduce the danger.

At this time, the fire flickered in the southern defense area of the city, and even the faintly visible large army was rapidly withdrawing towards the city. Of course, they are not retreating, if everything is going according to plan, their move must be to quickly support the northern defense area through a shortcut within the city.

As for whether Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong's plan is being carried out smoothly, he has no time to think about it now. This opportunity must be seized and a raid on Dragonbone City must be carried out.

"Let's go!" Li Xunlian waved his hand and took the lead in stepping into the range of the trap area.

"Childe wait!" Su almost stopped him, "Our people haven't sent a signal yet. ”

After Li Xunlian told Su Qi about the plan last night, the two made an arrangement for the sake of insurance, sending a certain brother to Zhu Tong's array, as long as Zhu Tong's side started to attack the city normally, he would send out the inn's unique signal flare, so as to determine whether the raid would be carried out as scheduled for Li Xunlian's side.

At present, the reason why Su wants to stop Li Xunlian is because the signal flare did not explode in the Beicheng defense area, which is likely to indicate that the situation has changed.

Li Xunlian glanced back at Su and said, "Regardless of whether the plan has changed or not, this is a good time for us to raid Dragon Bone City, and we must not miss the opportunity and never come again." ”

Indeed, the current large-scale transfer of troops in the southern defense area of the city is an excellent opportunity for them.

"But has Gongzi ever thought that if this is King Cheng's plan to lure the enemy deeper!" Su said again, and Mei Wu and the others echoed in unison.

As soon as the words fell, before Li Xunlian could answer, a dazzling red light suddenly rose in the north of the city, and the red light rose like a long dragon soaring into the sky, and when it rose to a height of 100 zhang, it exploded in vain, and a loud bang broke out.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Su Ke and the others were also resolute, because this was the signal flare of the inn, and the signal flare had been issued, indicating that Zhu Tong had indeed attacked.

The crowd didn't say much anymore and walked directly towards the trap area.

At the same moment, in the north defense area of the city, Zhu Cheng held a bamboo tube in his hand, looked at the south area of the city and smiled.

There are two people beside him, one is the mysterious young man who had made a move outside Zhennan Pass, and the other is the Li family's guard sent to Zhu Tong's position by Li Xunlian last night!

At this moment, the Li family guard was covered in blood, and he had obviously suffered great torture, but although his face was resolute, all he could do was glare.

"Stare, then stare at the palace and gouge out the eyeballs!" Zhu Cheng said viciously, and at the same time raised his leg and kicked the Li family guard in the face.

The guard spat out, with a few teeth in the blood foam, he was so sad and angry that he could only muttered to himself: "Childe, I'm sorry for you!"

At this time, the mysterious young man smiled and spoke: "This is a bad word, as a subordinate, you are already very good." However, this seat is too smart, and whatever plans your son has, he must be transparent in front of this seat. ”

"Phew, just because you deserve to be compared to Childe!" the guard roared, but he could only harden his mouth now. In fact, the reason why he fell into the hands of Zhu Cheng was because the mysterious boy had been following him since Li Xunlian's position.

It may not be intuitive to say this, in other words, since Li Xunlian and Su Ke and others discussed this method, the mysterious young man has been listening in the dark!

As for when he infiltrated Li Xunlian's camp, when he left, and how he avoided the eyes and ears of the three sword slaves, Ruan Lin, and even the second shopkeeper, no one knows!

"I guess you're curious, as long as I'm willing to make a move, I can kill your son at any time, why don't I do that?" the mysterious young man smiled lightly and muttered to himself.

"The adults are teasing, Li Xunlian is no different from cats and dogs in your eyes. Zhu Cheng is a good sycophant, and when he heard this, he quickly answered.

The mysterious young man turned his head to look at him, in terms of physiognomy alone, Zhu Cheng should be slightly older than him, but at this moment, he bowed to the side like a grandson, his face was full of flattering smiles.

"Wrong, in the eyes of this seat, you are all no different from cats and dogs, whether it is the innkeeper, or the little prince, even your father. The mysterious young man didn't give face at all, looked at Zhu Cheng's embarrassed red face, and said with a smile: "The reason why this seat doesn't kill him is because this seat needs him to attack Dragon Bone City, if he doesn't attack it, how can this seat weaken your father's background?"

"Huh?" Zhu Cheng was a little stunned, although this person didn't take them seriously, it was the first time he said such a thing so directly.

"Don't, do you know what the biggest advantage of this seat is?" Without waiting for Zhu Cheng to answer, the mysterious young man said directly: "The biggest advantage of this seat is that he has self-knowledge, and if he leaves this seat alone, it is a test of the ability of this seat, your father has three Shenhai Realm by his side, there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, and the city has also set up a jade burning array, if I do it directly, it will inevitably be seriously damaged, but if they take action on my behalf, things will be much simpler." ”

"You, you, it turns out that you don't really help us!" Zhu Cheng was shocked.

"When did I say that I really helped you, isn't my performance obvious enough, haven't you always seen you as a chess piece?" The mysterious young man sneered, what he said was the truth, King Cheng knew, but why King Cheng was willing to be a pawn was because King Cheng thought he had the ability to get rid of the clutches of the mysterious boy!

But, I'm afraid, he's wrong......

"This and this, this ......" Zhu Cheng panicked, although he was not very smart, but he also understood the meaning of the mysterious boy, Li Xunlian and others launched a surprise attack, no matter what the situation was after entering the city, he was afraid that he would not help, and even, the result he wanted to see the most was that there was no master around King Cheng, tens of thousands of troops and Zhu Tong's army started a decisive battle, the south fell into embarrassment, the imperial court lost troops, and the core of the inn was destroyed......

"You have a lot of them, I will convince my father to make him submit to you, as long as you ......"

Before he finished speaking, the mysterious young man had already interrupted it with a sneer, only to see a silent arc floating on his demonic face, and said: "This seat doesn't need you to surrender, what this seat needs is turmoil in Kyushu!"

A huge explosion sounded from more than ten zhang away on the left side, Li Xunlian was shocked, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that a brother had been blown up by Xuanlei's limbs, obviously unable to survive.

Gritting his teeth, his steps did not pause, now is not the time to grieve, the longer he stays here, the greater the possibility of casualties, and he must cross the trap area as soon as possible.

"Everyone should be cautious, and the kilowatt should not fall to the ground easily until it is absolutely necessary. Li Xunlian reminded loudly that their march was through successive vertical leaps, but people are not birds after all, even if everyone is a Xuan Xiu, they are unable to maintain a long time off the ground and rush to sweep, taking the Gu Xuan Realm as an example, about ten zhang, they have to step on the ground and borrow strength once.

The trap area covers an area of ten miles, and no one knows how many Xuan Thunder are buried in it, and no one knows how many brothers they will lose in the process. But again, now is not the time to think about this, since you have already chosen to launch a surprise attack, you must be vigorous, and you must not be discouraged by any factors in the middle. Otherwise, the brothers who are already dead die in vain.

Ten miles is not a long distance for Xuan Xiu, and he can rush through it in a moment with all his full impact, but this moment of time seems extremely long.

There could be no explosions around, and the brothers were screaming and dying. However, Li Xunlian's state of mind is becoming more and more resolute, such as entering the Dragon Bone City, fighting to pieces, and he will definitely become a king and pay for his brothers!

After losing about twenty or thirty people, they finally managed to cross the Dragon Bone City, to be honest, this casualty figure is relatively good, when Zhu Tong launched an attack, he lost a hundred Black Dragon Guards here!

After the trap area, the barracks in front of the south of the city are sitting, the barracks is a small city independent of the dragon bone city, according to the size of the city, the city should be able to station 10,000 troops.

It's just that the city is already empty at this time, and Li Xunlian and others came with anger, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, and it only took them half a moment to conquer this small city, which is shorter than the time it took to cross the trap area!

Because of the large-scale support for the northern city, there are only more than 1,000 garrisons in this city, the leader is in the early stage of Tianhe, the second shopkeeper shoots a move to kill, and the rest of the stragglers are Li Xun and his people to sweep away, easy and effortless.

From this city, the mighty moat comes into view. This is a raging river as wide as a hundred feet, and I don't know if it's because of the sky or whatever, the water of this river is faintly black, and it looks extremely unkind.

Opposite Li Xunlian's current location, three rope bridges connect the other side, and the other side is the majestic Dragon Bone City, but although the Dragon Bone City is close at hand, if you want to cross the moat, it is a huge problem that hinders everyone.

It should have seen the situation here, the three rope bridges have long been controlled by the Dragon Bone City side, and they have penetrated deep into the water.

Picking up a steel knife, Li Xunlian struggled to throw himself into the river, only to see the black smoke rolling, and before the steel knife could sink, it had been corroded and there was nothing left.

"What a weird river. Mei Wu couldn't help but sigh.

"What should I do now?" the second shopkeeper turned to look at Li Xunlian and asked for his opinion.

At a distance of 100 zhang, he, the Three Sword Slaves and Ruan Lin can all pass through the air, but Li Xunlian can't, and the Li family's guards can't either. Although the second shopkeeper has the ability to carry two or three people across the river at a time, this is not a good way.

Not only is it extremely variable, but it is also extremely physically demanding.

Li Xunlian frowned and pondered for a moment, he never thought that he would be stuck on a mere moat, and at the same time he was upset, he became a little impulsive.

"Brothers, you accompanied me from birth to death, Li Xunlian will remember it in his life. Tonight, let's say goodbye, you take my token to Shenjian Peak, and the big shopkeeper will arrange for you to join the inn, and future generations will enjoy the protection of the inn. ”

After a moment of silence, Li Xunlian said.

When all the guards heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they all shouted, Li Xunlian's meaning was obvious, he was not going to take his brothers into Dragon Bone City, and he was going to be separated here.

"If I knew this was the case, it would be better to let you go back directly, and not even enter the trap area. Li Xunlian whispered regretfully, then his eyes showed resoluteness, and said, "Brothers, don't pass!"

Solemnly bowed his hand and bowed, Li Xunlian ignored the cries of the crowd, turned his head to signal the second shopkeeper, and nodded.

The second shopkeeper also nodded, and immediately grabbed Li Xunlian and floated towards the moat. The three sword slaves looked at each other and followed closely, and Ruan Lin also followed.

The Li family's guards had the intention to stop it, but they were not strong enough to stop it. I had the heart to follow, but I couldn't cross the moat, so I had no choice but to see it off on the riverbank and see off my son in a loud voice.

This time, most of them are more than lucky. Not only the Li family's guards understand, but Li Xunlian's heart also understands.

But he has made up his mind, and even if the brothers can cross the river and get to the Dragon Bone City, they may not be able to play a big role when they capture and kill the king, so it is better to return to Shenjian Peak directly.

As for the second shopkeeper, they must follow. Besides, there is no need to say much with them, everyone has the same heart. Li Xunlian knew that the second shopkeeper and the third sword slave had the intention to leave Li Xunlian here and let them enter the city. At the same time, they also knew that Li Xunlian would never agree.

Therefore, there was no nonsense between each other, and they dodged their spirits, crossed the hundred zhang long river, and went straight to Dragon Bone City.

It is about a mile away from the city gate on the other side of the river, and there are nearly 300 Xuanxiu troops stationed here, but the strength is not high, they are only around the peak of Kaixuan, and everyone rushes left and right as if they are in a no-man's land, and they are killed under the city gate after a while.

"There are many mechanisms on the city wall, everyone be careful. Ruan Lin reminded.

However, at this moment, the city gate suddenly opened on its own, and the heavy city gate that was more than five feet high burst open, and inside, there were bright swords and guns and cold light, and neat soldiers lined up!

Swish!

At the end of the passage, King Cheng sat on a big chair and smiled without seeing emotion: "Coming?"

Li Xunlian frowned, and raised his voice: "Zhu Duo, today is your death!"

"Ha, haha, it's ridiculous! The matter has come to this, how dare you say such nonsense?" King Cheng laughed arrogantly, and immediately got up and left his seat, and walked towards Li Xunlian and the others.

As he walked around, three figures suddenly appeared above the city wall, and all three of them exuded a strong aura, and the realm must have resided in the Divine Sea.

The second shopkeeper looked up and said with a contemptuous smile: "The local chicken and tile dog, just hand it over to Lao Tzu." ”

Li Xunlian nodded, and led the Three Sword Slaves and Ruan Lin to greet King Cheng.

In fact, he didn't have full confidence in the second shopkeeper to face the three Divine Sea Powers alone, but due to the necessity of the situation, it had to be so. You must know that there is still a black army waiting for them in the city, and King Cheng himself is also a strong man in the late Tianhe period, and it is not so easy to kill him.

However, as long as he can be killed, no matter whether it is the three Shenhai powers or the thousands of troops in the city, it is estimated that they will not be able to struggle.

Of course, the word struggle is more appropriate to describe Li Xunlian and others at this moment......

As the two sides got closer and closer, Li Xunlian saw the face of King Cheng again after a few months, it seemed that he was a little older than before, and his face was no longer that kind of majesty, but a little more obvious Yin Vulture, as if it was not a comfortable thing to establish himself as a king.

At the same time, King Cheng was also looking at Li Xunlian, looking at this young man who single-handedly drove himself to a dead end. If it weren't for him, how could King Cheng have launched a mutiny in advance without being sure. You must know that King Cheng has already planned all the plans, he should install his henchmen in a certain position within a few years, when he should eradicate which dissidents, and when he should withdraw to the southland, he has a detailed and complete plan!

In other words, if Li Xunlian had not inserted a bar in the middle, his grasp of the Qingxiao Emperor's throne would be very great!

Although he was not capable of completely destroying the Zhu Yi clan, he was able to hollow out the foundation of the imperial court and let the already rotten imperial court completely fall into his hands.

However, all this was ruined by Li Xunlian! Although it was not deliberate, it indirectly affected the fate of King Cheng!

"Today, let's make a decision. King Cheng stopped at ten zhang opposite Li Xunlian, and there was a passage from the city gate to the city.

Li Xunlian didn't speak, and walked out of the corridor.

Thundered!

Behind him, the gates closed, and the light dimmed instantly.

However, the bright sword and gun shadow shined more and more, just like the eyes of the king, full of murderous intent!

"Do it!"

Li Xunlian shouted, the cold roaring sword was instantly unsheathed, and a puff of golden and blue light flashed, and according to him, several soldiers who were advancing forward shattered into ice chips.

At the same time, Ruan Lin quickly lifted into the air with his body technique, drew qi and sent a crossbow, only to hear a whooshing sound, several spiral-shaped energy shot away, and fell into the dense crowd is a loud bang, and the coverage of the Xuan Qi explosion is wide to five zhang, and within five zhang, it is ashes!

Su also made a move, and the top of the Dragon Bone City suddenly flashed with fluorescent, and the sword of Xuan Qi suddenly appeared, like a meteor sword river, bombarding down.

Kunshan is to protect Li Xunlian to rush into the enemy formation, immobile like a mountain to exude the general trend of the mountain, and it is difficult to advance with a knife and gun.

Outside the city, a roar sounded at the same time, and it should be that the second shopkeeper had already fought with the three Shenhai powers. Although I can't see the specifics, the blood-colored skeleton in mid-air that is as big as a house proves that as soon as the second shopkeeper makes a move, he has already used a killing move!

"Haha, come on, let the emperor see, how long can you last!" King Cheng laughed loudly, turned around and swept back, and finally stood in the outer pavilion of a high-rise building in the city.

He didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers at all, because no matter how many lives were used, as long as Li Xunlian could die here today, it would be worth it!

Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.

There was a sound of footsteps at the corner of the staircase in the attic, and he saw a general come to King Cheng's side, kneel on the ground to salute, and then said: "Holy Lord, the army is assembled, whether to launch a general attack." ”

"Attack, naturally attack immediately!" King Cheng smiled and gave the order for a general attack.

It turned out that his army had already gathered in the defense area north of the city, not only to show Li Xunlian, but also to fight against Zhu Tong, because Zhu Tong's army did not come at all!

What Cheng Wang Fengdi pointed out was that at the same time as Li Xunlian was trapped and killed in the inner city, the army overthrew Zhu Tong's headquarters!

At this moment, Zhu Tong's talisman was in Zhu Xi's hands, and she was deceived by Zhu Cheng, and the order conveyed was impressive - reward the three armies on the eve of the general attack, and the banquet was wanton, and within three days, the troops would not move......

The reason why King Cheng was so calm, in addition to the lack of the threat of Zhu Tong's army, of course, was not only counting on the three Shenhai powers and three thousand soldiers.

This is just the strength on the books, first used to test the hand, in fact, in this attic, there are twelve Tianhe powerhouses on standby. If some people can control the scene now, then there is no need to show the hole cards, and if not, it is not too late to make another move.

After all, this is Dragon Bone City, and it is the nest that King Cheng has been operating with his heart for decades, and how can there be only three Shenhai powers.

Moreover, it has to be said that several of the fierce generals under King Cheng have participated in the decisive battle against Zhu Tong's army that will be launched later, otherwise at this moment, the situation of Li Xunlian and others should be even more urgent.

Even so, they are not comfortable now, and the difficulty of fighting against the enemy army full of the city with only six people can be imagined.
