When Jing Lan walked halfway, he suddenly saw the signal in the direction of the city gate, which was a warning for the siege of the city, and he immediately became nervous in his heart, it seems that Shen Muzhou expected it well, the Immortal Monarch behind him really chose to attack the city tonight.

Jing Lan faintly had a bigger worry in his heart, since this person was the crown prince of the former dynasty, would there be the participation of people from the DPRK and China, and if the Li Li should be joined by outsiders, the situation would be even more unfavorable.

The people of Jingshi, under the command of the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, evacuated in order, Jinglan quickly whipped his horse, and when he was about to reach the city tower, he simply abandoned his horse and ran towards the city tower.

Jing Lan finally climbed the city tower, Shen Muzhou hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Jing Lan nodded, looked outside the city tower, the thick fog outside the city gate tower was everywhere, and groups of people gradually surrounded them, they all seemed to be wearing the clothes they wore when they were missing, all of them looked ragged, there were old people, children, and many young and middle-aged people, all of them had no focus in their eyes, as if they had lost consciousness.

Covered by thick clouds in the sky, these ragtered victims were like evil ghosts coming from hell, their expressions were gloomy, their teeth and claws were dancing, Jing Lan listened carefully, these people had words in their mouths, and kept shouting, "The Immortal King is coming, the Immortal Monarch is coming, let me enter the city, let me enter the city." ”

Shen Muzhou noticed that the person who was manipulating at this moment was standing at a high point not far away and playing the flute, he seemed to be using the sound of the flute to manipulate these victims, this flute did not know what it was made of, and the sound of blowing was very penetrating, making people feel cold unconsciously.

The sound of the flute became louder and louder, and the victims under the city tower suddenly seemed to be out of control, desperately climbing up to the city tower, some of the victims who were about to climb to the top were pushed down by the officers and soldiers defending the city, but the victims who were pushed down seemed to be unconscious, stood up again, and climbed up to the city wall frantically again, more and more victims, surging up, like a tide, and a kind of evil light emanated from their eyes, which made the officers and soldiers defending the city feel cold.

At this moment, the signal fireworks at the West City Gate were also lit up, and it seemed that the situation over there was also the same. Ning Yi came to Liluo in the afternoon, and the two of them just walked out of Dali Temple, originally made an appointment to see the situation of the person who was arrested yesterday, but this person didn't seem to be able to enter the oil and salt, and pretended not to understand after asking for a long time.

Seeing the night falling, the two wanted to go to the city tower to have a look, but when they came out, they suddenly saw fireworks lit up on both sides of the east and west, as well as citizens running around in the city, they kept panicking and said, "Hide, hide, the Netherworld has entered the city, the Netherworld has entered the city!" ”

The two of them looked at it, and immediately understood what was happening, and Riro was a little anxious, and she didn't know which way she should go for a while.

Ning Yi took the lead in calming down, and he said to Liluo, "You can't help you when you run over now, calm down first, I have some manpower in my hands, there is Yun Xi (Shen Muzhou character) at the east gate, you should be able to resist for a while, your father and Lord Liu are at the West City Gate, and I will take someone to support over there." ”

When Liluo heard that her father was at the West City Gate, she replied to Ning Yi in a little anxious, "Then I'll go to the West City Gate with you." ”

Ning Yi thought for a while, and replied with a serious expression, "No, Liluo, I will let Changfeng escort you to Xie Yulou, which is full of heroes from the rivers and lakes who came to Beijing today, you take this token and invite you to come out and deal with the victims who entered the city together." ”

Liluo saw the word "Shen" written on the token, knowing that it was Shen Muzhou's token, he nodded hurriedly, and immediately took the token and ran in the direction of Xie Yulou, Ning Yi gave Changfeng a look, Changfeng immediately obeyed the order, and followed closely behind Liluo.

The East Gate of the Jingshi

Standing at the east gate, the leader named Wu Cheng, about thirty years old, saw that there were more and more victims under the city tower, he ran over quickly, and said to Jinglan and Shen Muzhou, "Prince, general, there are too many people, do you want to use fire oil?" ”

Most of the officers and soldiers defending the city are relatively young, and they have encountered fewer battles in peacetime, and have never encountered such strange things, they can only hold shields to defend desperately, and the officers and soldiers behind the shields hold spears in both hands, and they can pounce one by one.

Shen Muzhou had already sent someone to secretly transfer the people from the patrol battalion outside the Beijing Division, but it was estimated that it would take half an hour to arrive here.

Jing Lan had never encountered such a panic, he looked at those orphans, a little unbearable, he knew in his heart that these victims were just being used by people, if they were burned with fire oil, it would be countless deaths and injuries, he made up his mind, and suddenly replied, "No, they are all innocent victims, but they are delirious at the moment, they are controlled by others, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion still have half an hour, and the current defense should not be based on hurting people's lives." ”

Wu Cheng's official rank was relatively low, so he had to reply, "Yes!" After saying that, he immediately rushed back to defend, he had already heard that the current prince was benevolent, so he did not say much, and ordered all his subordinates to build wooden frames, take up shields, and do not let these victims enter the city.

Shen Muzhou saw that the victims of the city were surging more and more, as the sound of the flute became louder, the expressions of these victims became more and more hideous, as if they were inspired by something, more and more full of strength, and it was effortless to climb up the city tower, he was a little anxious, but he also immediately calmed down, the key is to catch the person who played the flute behind the scenes, he called a general next to him in a low voice, and said to him, "Let people quickly go and send the news to Captain Zhao Qing, stop the search for the victims, and make every effort to arrest the person who plays the flute in the dark, and as soon as he finds it, immediately release the signal." Shen Muzhou sent another team of men and horses to support.

At present, there are more and more people who climb the city tower, even if some of them fall down from the city tower, the people behind will also go up one after another, and the disaster victims who climb the city tower are like hungry beasts, biting people whenever they meet, and some officers and soldiers are bitten by these disaster victims, and immediately fall to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and become delirious.

Wu Cheng was anxious when he saw that there were more and more people biting, and he rushed to the prince and Shen Muzhou and said, "Prince, general, it's too dangerous here, please evacuate the prince and general as soon as possible." "His life and death are small, but once the crown prince Jinglan is injured in the city tower or has an accident, then his family's life will not be guaranteed, Wu Cheng knelt on the ground, and his tone was very sincere.

Just when Jing Lan was a little hesitant, Shen Muzhou whispered to Jing Lan, "Prince, these victims seem to have toxins in their saliva, once they bite someone, the bitten person will immediately become delirious, and they must make a decision. ”

Jing Lan saw that people kept falling, as the crown prince, he couldn't leave it alone, he suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand, and shouted to all the officers and soldiers in the city tower, "Generals, listen to my orders, pick up the weapons in your hands, and increase your defense." Generals, these victims are at the mercy of others, General Shen has sent people out of the city to arrest the person who plays the flute behind him, and the brothers of the patrol battalion are already on the way to support, as long as everyone defends the defense line of the city tower and defends the Jingshi, you can serve the court tonight and increase the official to the knighthood! Once these victims enter the city, all of our wives, children, parents and brothers may be bitten to death and bitten. "There was a bit of arrogance in his speech.

When everyone heard the prince's speech, their morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately smashed their weapons to the ground, and replied in unison, "No! "No!" "No!"

Ning Yu of the Ningguo Mansion just ran over from the moat, she was quite shocked when she saw this scene, took out the token in her hand, and ran towards the city tower with Ah Jiu, after seeing Jing Lan and Shen Muzhou, she marched and saluted, "Prince, General Shen, Ning Yu, the daughter of General Ning Wu, come to report!" ”

Jing Lan nodded, the two of them had a tacit understanding that they did not mention what had just happened, and he also knew that Ning Yu was not an ordinary woman.

Wu Cheng ordered everyone to replace the knives in their hands with wooden sticks, and the stones into wood, and the victims came up in waves, and were repelled again and again by these officers and soldiers with wood and sticks.

Ning Yu and Ah Jiu immediately joined the defense, Ning Yu has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the wooden stick is very good, at this moment she is holding a wooden stick in her hand, and she is playing quickly on the city tower, almost no victims can get close to her, Ah Jiu is extremely powerful, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city tower are holding wooden escapes and wooden frames, and many hideous victims who are about to climb the city tower are pushed down.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were even more inspired by the courage of these two women.

It didn't take long for Liluo to come with a group of people from the rivers and lakes, including Elder He and others, who were originally decent people in the rivers and lakes, and seeing this situation, they also had the responsibility to help tie up some of the victims who took the opportunity to climb the city tower.

Seeing this, Jing Lan preached to the shadow guard beside him, "You also go, remember not to kill people." Seeing that there were so many wounded officers and soldiers in the city tower, the shadow guards had already been ready to move, so they left Ah Si alone, and the others went to support.

Seeing that Shen Muzhou was busy commanding the officers and soldiers guarding the city, Liluo hesitated for a moment, knowing that he would only cause chaos for them if he went rashly, so he found a secret base for himself on the side of the city tower, which was very difficult to find, and he could also watch the battle situation in the city tower at this moment.

Among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, a woman in red clothes caught her attention, this woman's hair was all tied together with a red belt, the wind of the city tower raised her hair, she held a wooden stick and swayed it wantonly, many hideous victims were controlled under her wooden stick, and were quickly tied up, the girl's heroic appearance and appearance made Liluo quite encouraged, if it were not for this moment, she would have to wave the flag for her on the side.

Standing not far from the girl in red, there is a man in an ink-colored coat, he is holding a sword, closely observing the battle situation in front of him, under the night wind, he stands very straight, and his whole body is extravagant, if Liluo is not mistaken, this person should be the prince Jinglan. Behind Jing Lan stood a man in black clothes, he stared closely at the surroundings, looking very nervous, if there were victims of the disaster, he would immediately take action, this person should be the prince's guard.

Not far from Prince Jinglan stood a young general, he was dressed in a military uniform, and he looked majestic in the night wind, this person was Shen Muzhou.

Liluo felt a little strange in his heart, at this time of crisis, the prince should not appear in the city tower, as the prince of a country, he must not do anything that puts his life at risk. However, Liluo thought about it carefully, and admired this prince very much in his heart, this person has a noble status, and there are many guards with strong martial arts around him, but he is willing to risk his life and advance and retreat together with the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

Just when she was thinking a little distracted, she suddenly heard Shen Muzhou say loudly, "Release!" ”

A group of officers and soldiers lined up in a row, holding pots of things and splashing down the city wall, those who were climbing to the city tower immediately couldn't catch it, and slid down to the bottom of the city tower, "It's lard", Liluo thought excitedly, or Muzhou brother has a way.

The victims who had been slid down were even more irritable, and they grabbed at the gates of the city, as if trying to open them.

Liluo carefully looked at the scene downstairs of the city, very worried that the door was opened by these victims, at this time, a beam of fireworks in the distance bloomed in the air, in this dense foggy night sky looks particularly bright, Liluo thought, where is the signal released, not long after, the fireworks are not far away and another fireworks, this fireworks are not too bright, but the sound is extremely loud, Liluo's heart moved, it is the master jade mouse, he is outside the city gate.

After the two fireworks were lit, the sound of the flute that controlled the victims disappeared, and those who could not hear the sound of the flute were like puppets that had lost their rope and fell to the ground.

Liluo stood up and wanted to find out, but suddenly someone hit her on the back of the head, and she screamed in pain, and Shen Muzhou's deep voice sounded behind her, "I know that you are a girl here, don't die?" ”

Shen Muzhou is one of the few people who knows that Liluo worships the jade rat as a teacher, and after seeing that it was him, Liluo whispered excitedly, "Brother Muzhou, I saw two fireworks, and the fireworks in the back were set off by the master, I want to go out of the city gate to see the situation, maybe I can find this Immortal Monarch." “

Shen Muzhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go out of the city gate with me now, but you must obey my command." ”

Liluo hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

Shen Muzhou took Liluo to say goodbye to Jinglan and said, "Prince, Zhao Qing has already sent a signal flare, they should have found this person behind the scenes, Hades Jun, I will bring people to support now, the people of the patrol battalion have arrived, presumably they are here, and the security of the city gate should be fine this time." After finishing speaking, Shen Muzhou whispered to him again, "The prince's safety is related to the society, and I also ask the prince to return to the East Palace quickly." ”

After Jing Lan heard this, he patted Shen Muzhou on the shoulder and said to him, "Yun Xi (Shen Muzhou), thanks to you this time, you should go quickly, Captain Zhao urgently needs your support over there, the king of the East Palace doesn't want to go back for the time being, so many victims have been injured, Xiao Wang is not at ease." ”

Shen Muzhou saw that Jing Lan was like this, and it was not easy to persuade anything, Shen Muzhou looked around, not far from the city tower was Liuxian Tower, he whispered a few words in Jing Lan's ear, Jing Lan nodded, although the victims have retreated, it is difficult to ensure that there are people present who have ill intentions, while everyone is a little relaxed, in case of an assassination, his situation will be quite difficult, Jing Lan followed Shen Muzhou's suggestion, let Ning Yu lead the way, and go to the secret pavilion of Liuxian Tower to wait for news.

After the arrangement, Shen Muzhou thanked the officers and soldiers and heroes present, and left in a hurry with his subordinates Jingwei and Liluo on fast horses, this immortal monarch is so powerful, Zhao Qing is not his opponent, Shen Muzhou thought to himself, I hope he can hold on for a while.

He saw Liluo hiding in the corner early in the morning, just because of his own inconvenience, he didn't make a sound, I didn't expect this girl to be very clever, at the critical moment, he also brought a group of people from the rivers and lakes to support, this operation he took Liluo, but also hoped that she could find her master, the famous jade rat in the rivers and lakes, with the reinforcement of the jade rat, he has a little more confidence in catching the person behind the scenes.
