In the palace of the city of Limo, more than a thousand palace maids knelt on the square in front of the main palace. A hundred fierce-looking Turkic men stood around the panicked crowd with four-foot sabers in their hands. The third prince Mantuo sat on the dragon chair in the palace, holding a half-baked leg of lamb in one hand and munching on it with his mouth open.

In front of him, Mu Ran stood the Empress Dowager of the Bohai State who held the Great Joy in her arms and Mu Su, the Prime Minister of the Bohai State who held the military and political power. The long wind that blew into the hall carried the sound of the young palace maids and poor eunuchs crying bitterly.

Mantuo put one foot on the dragon chair, grabbed the leg of lamb with both hands, and ate with relish. Mu Su and the Queen Mother glanced at each other, not knowing what to do. After a long time, Mantuo threw the gnawed leg of lamb on the main hall, stretched out his little finger and picked his teeth, spit the residue in his mouth and saliva on the dragon chair, raised his head and said, "I heard that you and the Tang Dynasty ordered 5,000 pairs of armor and 10,000 pairs of swords and shields, but is there such a thing?"

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Mu Su's head, he didn't understand how Mantuo could know such a secret thing. He made up his mind, knowing that it was useless to conceal it, and said in a trembling voice, "It is true, but, but this is before your army enters the country."

"Humph!" Mantuo jumped down from the dragon chair, came to Mu Su, and stared at him deadly: "I heard that you have already paid the deposit, and I just ask the Han people to deliver the goods quickly. Hehe, are you in such a hurry to go against us Turks?"

Mu Su hurriedly said, "The purchase of blades and armor is for self-defense, and I, the Limo people, have no intention of opposing your army."

"Huh!" Mandol closed his mouth and let out a low chuckle, like the low roar of a wolf before it pounced. Even Mu Su, the strong-minded prime minister of Bohai, felt an overwhelming chill from head to toe.

Mantuo smiled and twisted one of Mu Su's sideburns in his hand, shook it hard, threw it behind him, and said coldly: "Now your Bohai Sea has been occupied by my Turkic divine soldiers, but the Tang Dynasty still remembers you. They actually sent the most elite Tang Dart team to escort a set of armor specially made for you to this place."

"Datang hasn't forgotten us yet." Although Mu Su tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't hide a trace of excitement in his eyes, he peeked at the Queen Mother, only to see the Queen Mother burst into tears with excitement in her eyes, and hugged Da Qirong tightly.

When Mantuo saw their eyes, his face was immediately covered with a layer of vicious and murderous aura, and he continued coldly, "I heard that the value of this armor is actually higher than that of those five thousand pairs of armor and ten thousand pairs of swords and shields, which is really a priceless treasure. The Tang Dynasty values you so much, you should really be happy."

Mu Su and the Queen Mother glanced at each other, both of them knew that the big thing was bad, but they didn't know how to save it. Mu Su said in a deep voice: "Third Prince, my 30,000 clansmen are serving the Turkic army at the Han border at this time, please think twice."

"Good! Okay!" Mantuo looked up to the sky and laughed, and said loudly, "It's actually my turn to think twice about Mantu, the first warrior of the Turks. Then I'll have to think about it."

He turned his head, glanced at the Queen Mother, and said in a deep voice, "But sometimes, my mind is really blank and I can't think of anything. Why don't you give me a heads-up?"

Mu Su straightened his chest and said, "If my people knew that the prince had mistreated the children of Bohai, I am afraid they would not have served your country so hard."

Mantuo sneered, shook his head, and said, "This awakening is really not good." He raised his left hand high and snapped his fingers, a sharp sound that reverberated through the hall.

The Turkic strong men waiting in the square brandished their long knives at the same time, and slashed wildly at the eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground. Screams rang out one after another, and large streams of blood smeared the entire sky. One by one, the lost heads fell helplessly to the ground, rolling down the white marble steps, and the black and red blood was deeply imprinted on the main hall square.

Looking at the terrifying and cruel scene of Shura's hell outside the hall, the Empress Dowager of the Bohai Kingdom rolled her eyes and fainted straight. Mu Su's eyes were torn, and his eyes were blazing at Mantuo, eager to eat him alive.

Mantuo walked quickly to the door of the main hall, and faced the long wind that blew into the hall mixed with the strong smell of blood, took a deep breath, and said freely, "This is my favorite taste of Mantua." He raised his head, laughed maniacally, turned around and said, "Now you know the fate of the Tang Dynasty?"

He came to Mu Su's side and whispered in his ear, "You'd better hope that those Tang Dart Masters will get to Bohai soon. Because from this day on, I will kill a thousand Bohai people every day, until this group of fools who don't know death are crushed by me and cut with a thousand knives. Don't worry, the families of the 30,000 Bohai children, I will keep them well."

"You beast!" Mu Su scolded.

"Hahahahaha!" Mantuo looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "If I kill someone tomorrow, I won't be so fast, and today's thousand people are considered lucky."

Looking at Mu Su's sad and inexplicable expression, he stopped laughing and said coldly: "If you want to blame, blame Datang for being so wrong and loving you." After speaking, he led his subordinates and strode out of the main hall.

In the Turkic army camp outside the city of Limo, countless siege equipment has been built one after another, and Huang Xuanzhong, the first craftsman of Limo, handed over the construction list in his hand to Mantuo, and then knelt on the ground. "Hmph!" Mantuo looked at the list, was extremely satisfied, and said, "Huang Xuanzhong, well done, this batch of equipment is enough to capture Chang'an City."

Huang Xuanzhong said prostrately: "Back to the Third Highness, these weapons to attack Chang'an are only an early investment, Chang'an is a strong city in the world, no matter how many siege equipment is produced, there is no guarantee that it will be captured."

Mantuo said impatiently, "I know this, don't worry, I will serve these treasures like my father and mother, so that they can arrive in Chang'an and hand them over to the coalition brothers. But you're not done yet, and along the way, you'll have to continue to build siege tools for us along the way. Someone!"

Two burly men came up to him and bowed. Mantuo waved his hand and said, "Take him down and serve him well, and don't be lazy."

Seeing Huang Xuanzhong being taken away reluctantly, Mantuo showed a mocking look on his face, and turned around and asked, "Puaman, is Brother Iron Scythe here?"

Luo Puhan, the deputy general beside him, bowed down and said, "Back to the Third Highness, Brother Pua Man has now been transferred to serve by the side of the Second Highness, and the Iron Sickle brothers are coming. When Big Brother A Man heard that His Royal Highness had an important person, he had already summoned the elite of the Tu Nan team to rush over. Moreover, Her Royal Highness Princess Splendid has already sent the elite of the Flame Sect who have been secretly training outside the Saiwai for many years, and they will assist us in exterminating the Tang Dart Team that is heading north."

"Oh? The elite of the Heavenly Demon Purple Master is also here." Mantuo was excited, "That way, I don't have to worry about this anymore."

The night gradually shrouded the sky over Hengzhou City, and Jiang Chongwei looked at the military book bequeathed to him by Duke Dou many years ago by the dim candlelight of the Assassin's Mansion. That is the experience of more than 10,000 words written by Dou Gong after studying the key to cavalry. Twenty years ago, Dou Gong had already begun to want to build a light cavalry force as powerful and light as the Turkic iron cavalry. However, just when he was in full swing of fundraising, his army had already been defeated by Li Shimin's black-armored elite cavalry. Now, he finally has a cavalry unit that Dou Gong dreamed of, but Dou Gong is no longer in the world. Jiang Chongwei looked at this book of war, as if he saw Dou Gong's deep and kind eyes staring at him, and his mood calmed down a lot. At this moment, a black figure jumped in from the window, and the night clothes woven of silk shimmered in the candlelight.

"You're finally here." Jiang Chongwei put down the military book and raised his head to look at the comer. This person sat down in front of him with a golden knife and took off the black scarf that covered his face, but it was a middle-aged man with a green face and a long beard and eyes like electricity. He looked at Jiang Chongwei, sneered, and said, "Old Jiang, you have been doing well in fine clothes and food over the years."

Jiang Chongwei smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaolong, you don't have to mock me. When the army was defeated, you led the army out of the fortress, and I led the army to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which was not glorious."

A hint of fierceness flashed in Xiao Long's eyes, and he said urgently: "Old Jiang, Dou Gong, Liu Shuai died so miserably, can you just endure the murderer who killed them so freely."

Jiang Chongwei sighed and said, "I don't want to kill Li Shimin, Li Yuan, and that Zhuge Dewei who should be cut with a thousand knives as soon as possible. However, they were very protective of me, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't find a chance."

Xiaolong's face was full of joy, and he leaned forward a little and said, "Old Jiang, you don't have to worry, within ten days, there will be a heavenly army coming, I hope you can lead the army to defect, and together with the coalition army, raid the Tang Prefectures and besiege Chang'an." When the city is broken, Li Shimin, Li Yuan and Zhuge Dewei will definitely be in our pockets."

"Celestial Army?" Jiang Chongwei's face showed a look of confusion, "What soldiers and horses are so powerful?"

Xiaolong smiled silently. After a long while, Jiang Chongwei stood up violently and was furious: "Xiaolong, do you want to lead the Turkic military horses to attack the Tang Dynasty?"

Xiaolong glanced up at him and said coldly, "Why not, this world was originally stolen from us by Li Shimin's child, and now we just take it back."

Jiang Chongwei strode in front of Xiaolong and said hatefully, "No wonder among the charges imposed on Liu Shuai by the Tang Dynasty is the crime of fornicating with the Turks and leading troops to commit crimes. It turns out that you really belong to the Turks, and you want to lead the Turkic soldiers and horses to plague our Han people."

Xiaolong stood up with a bang and said angrily, "The surname Jiang, who has just been an official of the Tang Dynasty for a few years, has confused you. Nothing about leading troops to invade the border, he Li Shimin has never done it? At the beginning, their father and son were vassals to the Turks, and I don't know how much more they did than this. If it weren't for the Turks' plots from behind, how could Xue Ju's father and son have been defeated so quickly."

Jiang Chongwei shook his head vigorously and said, "Now that the four seas are leveling, it is fundamentally different from that time. The common people have just lived a peaceful life, if we lead the Turkic soldiers to invade the territory at this time, we will become sinners through the ages, and we will also lose the face of Dou Gong Liu Shuai under Jiuquan. I, Jiang Chongwei, would rather never take revenge than be in the company of the Turks."

Xiaolong glanced at him coldly and said, "Okay, the Tao is not the same. If it weren't for the unparalleled elite soldiers of the 3,000 Hebei disciples under you, I really wouldn't have to bother with this effort. You can do it yourself."

Jiang Chongwei's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said, "Then you go slowly, I won't send it."

The little dragon looked at him gloomily, turned around and took a leap, and was about to run out of the window when he came, just as he was about to get out, he suddenly stepped on the windowsill with both feet, and his body reflected back like a spring, and two daggers appeared in his hands like lightning, and a shuddering murderous aura filled the entire room in an instant.

Jiang Chongwei poked under the table with both hands, and the sturdy table exploded from it, and two broad-backed knives fell on his hands, and only a cross door blocked Xiaolong's double daggers from the outer door.

"Okay, old boy, I've learned to be clever." Xiaolong said with a cruel smile.

"I knew you were going to make a move." Jiang Chongwei said angrily. The two of them fought back and forth for several rounds, Xiaolong's body was short, and from under the double knives cut by Jiang Chongwei, it flashed to the bottom of his armpit, and the double daggers hit the throat and the lower abdomen. Jiang Chongwei's wide-backed knife couldn't block the melee attack, and knowing that it was not good, his body retreated sharply, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Someone, there are assassins!" But Xiaolong is an expert at close sniping, and his body rubs up like a cloud, and his double daggers stab Jiang Chongwei's throat and lower abdomen in the same way. Jiang Chongwei suddenly twisted and jumped to his feet, but Xiaolong's low dagger hit the outside of his thigh. Jiang Chongwei screamed and fell to the ground.

Xiaolong was about to make another stab at Jiang Chongwei's throat, when several guards from the Assassin Mansion arrived when they heard the sound, and when they saw Jiang Chongwei in distress, they immediately shouted and pounced. Xiaolong's dagger probed and killed one of the closest guards, and at this time, another guard speared a spear and stabbed his body. Xiaolong sneered, and the dagger in his left hand flew out of his hand, piercing the throat of the guard. At this time, the two sword-wielding guards danced into a ball of silver light and rushed up desperately. The little dragon plucked the onion on the dry land, jumped high, waved the five strings with the dagger in his right hand, and wiped a knife on the throat of the two of them. By the time he landed, the two guards had already spurted blood and fell to the ground. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Chongwei's broad-backed double knives rolled to the ground, and between the surging sword lights, his legs left his body. He let out a terrible howl and pressed his hands to the ground, trying to leap to his feet. Jiang Chongwei's left hand knife struggled to support the ground, leaned his body high, held the knife in his right hand with his backhand, and stabbed it fiercely, nailing it to Xiaolong's lower abdomen, and a ball of blood flew up several feet high.

Xiaolong spat out a mouthful of blood, stared at Jiang Chongwei's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "If I can't go back alive today, those Turkic people will enter the capital to secretly accuse you of the crime of attempting to kill the lord. Jiang Chongwei, I'll wait for you below, phew." He vomited another mouthful of blood, and finally died of exhaustion.

Inside the room, there were five lifeless corpses lying silently, Jiang Chongwei dragged his injured leg, leaned against the wall, smiled bitterly, and did not speak.
