The night was getting darker.

There were no stars or moons in the sky, only heavy clouds spread silently, and the vast expanse of the city was all the more oppressive.

A group of heavily armed officers and soldiers marched along the official road, hearing no human voices, only footsteps, breathing, and the grinding of clothes and armor.

If anyone sees it, they can conclude that this is a well-trained team, and it is not a ragtag army.

The gates have arrived.

The team stopped, a glowing moat in front of them.

The officers and soldiers in charge of patrolling the castle tower noticed the abnormality and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The leading soldier replied: "I am Lei Ming, and I entered the city on the orders of the emperor. ”

The guards on the city tower saw the appearance of the Governor of Lei clearly, but his vigilance did not let go: "Please show the order of the Governor of Lei." ”

Thunder flashed the order.

"Please wait where you are."

After a while, a guard descended the city wall and swam across a moat that was not too wide to come to Governor Lei: "Please give the order to our general for the time being." ”

The entry of officers and men into the city is a major event, especially at night, and it should not be taken lightly.

Lei Ming did not hesitate, and immediately handed over the order.

The guards received the order, and when they returned, they flexibly climbed the city wall with the help of ropes, and gave the order to the guards.

The guard general took the order to inspect it carefully, and handed it to another guard general for inspection, until the other guard also nodded, and then said, "Put the bridge and open the city gate." ”

The moat was slowly lowered, and the quaint and heavy city gate slowly opened.

Lei Ming waved his hand: "Enter the city!" ”

The lined up stepped over the moat and passed through the gates silently.

"Please take care of it." The guard returned the order to Lei Ming, and did not ask Lei Ming's purpose for entering the city.

"Good work." Thunder rushed to the guard and led the team forward.

The guard immediately instructed his men: "Close the gates and put away the moat." ”

The heavy gates were closed, the moat was closed, and the moat shimmered coldly at night, as if nothing had happened.

The guard's face was not very good-looking, and he sighed lowly: "I guess I'm going to see blood tonight." ”

The other guard looked similarly not much better, and lowered his voice and said, "It's estimated that there are at least a thousand people." ”

This number of officers and soldiers entering the city was enough to set off a bloody storm.

The guard shook his head: "We can't take care of this, just guard the city gate." ”

"yes, let's do our part."

A team of thousands of people walked on the empty streets, and even if they deliberately lightened their steps, it was difficult to avoid making noises.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and the lights of thousands of homes had already been extinguished, and the houses blended into the darkness and fell into a deep sleep.

A pair of eyes looked out through the wooden door, waiting for the soldiers at the end of the line to walk by, busy to report.

"Grand Duke, they're in the city!"

"Keep watching."

The people who came to report took the order and left, and everyone who was waiting looked at Governor Luo in unison.

Governor Luo Dadu's expression was calm: "Don't panic, you have to wait." ”

There will be no doubts about the words of Governor Luo, and the cronies brought out will not have any doubts, although the aunts are usually noisy, they also know that they will listen to the words of the master when they encounter major events.

Luo Yue was young after all, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Father, are those people going to our house?" ”

Looking at his daughter with uneasiness flashing in his eyes, Governor Luo nodded slightly: "Yes." ”

"Then how are we going to get out of the city?"

This is also where everyone wonders.

A city gate, a moat, even if thousands of troops come to attack, it is not so easy, there are many old and weak women and children among them, and if you break through, there is only one way to die.

"Just wait." Facing a pair of curious eyes, Governor Luo did not elaborate.

Luo Yue pursed her lips and didn't dare to ask again.

Governor Luo looked up at the dark sky with his hands in his hands, and sighed in his heart, but his face was very calm.

He is the pillar of this family, so naturally he can't panic.

The night was getting deeper.

As soon as the defenders rested, their men came to report that there was movement outside the city.

The guard hurriedly put on his coat and walked out scolding.

The night breeze in spring is still a little cold, and standing on the high city wall, you can feel the spring cold even more, and the guard will shrink his neck and look out wide-eyed, almost thinking that he has seen it wrong.

He rubbed his eyes, halfway through his sleepiness.

How come there are officers and soldiers coming?

"Who's coming?"

Under the city wall, the leading soldier was a young man, and when he heard this, he bowed his hand to the guard: "I am a general under the command of Governor Lei, and I will enter the city to support according to Governor Lei's arrangement." ”

Not long after Lei Ming led his troops into the city, the guard general did not have any doubts about this, but asked puzzledly: "Why did you enter the city separately from the Governor of Lei?" ”

The young general replied: "This is tonight's plan of action, and the governor has his own reasons for arranging it like this, but it is not easy to explain it to others, and I hope the general will understand." ”

The guard nodded, and then asked, "Is there an order?" ”

"The order is in the hands of the Grand Governor, this is the token under the order." The young general receives the token and holds it high in front of the guard.

This light, this distance, it is impossible to see anything, and the guard, out of caution, still ordered his men to cross the river to fetch it.

After a short time, the men who went into the water for the second time returned wet and presented the token to the guard.

The guard took over the inspection, and saw that the system did belong to the Governor of Lei Dadu, so he had no doubts at all, and ordered his subordinates to open the city gate.

The heavy gates opened again.

The young general suppressed the joy in his eyes and was the first to step on the moat.

Soon the soldiers rushed in, quiet and solemn.

When the group of soldiers was far away, the guard muttered: "Hundreds of people are entering the city again, and tonight is really lively." ”

The young general led the procession through the empty and silent streets, just like the previous procession into the city, but after turning a corner, he did not continue on, but stopped in front of a private house.
