Chapter 61: Eyeliner
After setting the fire, he fled directly, and if anyone was left behind, he should never turn back to help, this is the king's command.
That's exactly what they did, and the people of Snowy City quickly caught the attention of the palace guards after setting it on fire, and they chased them inside the palace.
Whenever the guards were about to catch up with them, one of the people in Snowy City would voluntarily crash into the guards, so that the pursuing guards would be slowed down.
This is also the reason why the king chose people with low strength to carry out the mission, because from the moment they entered the palace and entered the vast imperial city, they all became consumables.
The reason why the king chose to go to the southeast region was not unreasonable, the small passage that only the forbidden army knew was located in the northwest corner of the palace, and the officers and soldiers in the southeast region who were deceived by the king did not know the situation in the palace, and when they rushed into the palace to arrest the thieves in Xuelu City, the people in Xueluo City were on the other side of the palace.
Eventually, twenty-seven men escaped from the palace, and then, as agreed, they went around to the southeast and left the vast imperial city to join the king.
……
Two days later, above the Golden Dragon Hall.
"Your Majesty, the fire two days ago burned down the Qianyu Palace and the Fennel Palace, and the Dragon Bedroom Palace was also slightly implicated, fortunately, Your Majesty was resting in the other palace that day, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu continued: "The ministers will repair these palaces as soon as possible, and Your Majesty does not need to worry. ”
"I'm not worried about the palace being burned, I'm worried about the thieves in the snowy city!"
If it weren't for the day of the fire, I would have stayed somewhere else...... Is he already buried in the fire now?
"Your Majesty, the verification of the eight major areas of the Vast Imperial City has all ended, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, there are a total of more than 300 black households living in the Vast Imperial City, and we have already disposed of all these people." Hubu Shangshu reported to Ye Futian.
"Your Majesty, the people arrested by the household department this time are all ordinary people in the vast imperial city, and there are no people related to Xuelu City among them." The Palace Guard continued, "But my guards have killed most of the thieves in the palace. ”
He did kill a lot of people in Xuelu City, he wanted to ask for credit, but he didn't expect Ye Futian to say in a cold tone: "Killed most of them? Does that mean that there are still a few of you who let them escape? ”
"Well, those thieves in Snow City are really cunning, and some of them don't hesitate to sacrifice themselves to delay us, and then ...... They escaped, but only a small fraction of them escaped. ”
"How did you become a palace guard? There are thieves who invade the palace and set fire to the palace, not only did you not defend them, but also let some go, what do the court raise you for? Tobe Shangshu said coldly on the side.
"You ......," the head of the palace guard pointed to the head of the palace and was speechless for a while.
"He's right, it's your dereliction of duty for the thieves of Snow City to break into the palace." Ye Weitian said.
“…… Minister...... Conviction of sin. The chief of the palace guard knelt down directly, who dared to refute Ye Futian's words?
"Hmph, although you are guilty, now you also have a chance to make meritorious contributions." Ye Futian said lightly: "The traitors in Xueluo City are simply too deceitful, I originally planned to deal with them after the beast tide was completely cleaned up, but I didn't expect them to take the initiative to make trouble and find death first, I am in a very bad mood now, I don't want them to jump anymore, they should hide on a hill between Canglan City and Xueluo City, and now send 300,000 soldiers, even if it is to grind, I will crush those mountains!" And you, the chief of the palace guard...... As a punishment, this time you will go to the front line and become a minim. Ye Futian showed no mercy, the status of the chief guard of the palace was like a general, but now Ye Futian asked him to be a soldier, this is not just a punishment, this is simply an insult.
"Minister...... Obey the commandments. ”
What could he do? He could only nod, maybe this was sadness.
……
A few days later.
The king had returned to the camp in Snowy City, but the twenty-seven warriors did not come back together, they left...... The king promised to give them a sum of money to go to a peaceful place to start a new, peaceful life.
The people selected by the king were all low-strength people in the camp of Xuelu City, they were not able to mix well in Xuelu City, and they were also cannon fodder in the war, and they themselves knew this, so when Wang proposed his conditions, no one refused, and they all chose to take a sum of money and leave Xuelu City and start another way of life.
It's just that what Wang didn't expect was that Ye Lingyun was here again now, and he was still taking that woman with him.
"Brother Ye, now the imperial army's army should already be on the way to exterminate us, and it is a little inappropriate for you to come now." Wang said lightly, he thought that Ye Lingyun was here to discuss the alliance.
"City Lord Qiong, you are really a curious man, I really didn't expect you to set fire to the palace, you are so crazy to mess around the imperial city, Ye Futian has already sent an extremely huge force, and are you really ready to deal with it?" Ye Lingyun asked.
"Oh? How much did he send? ”
"About 300,000."
"Hmm...... It's really a lot, the current strength of my Xuelu City is in this entire camp, Brother Ye, you should also see it, we can't resist it at all. ”
“……”
Wang's answer made Ye Lingyun a little stunned, of course he could see the current strength of Xueluo City, he thought that this Qiong City Lord had something to do, but he didn't expect him to directly say that he couldn't resist...... Then he is still so arrogant to provoke the court, does he do things without thinking about the consequences?
"Brother Ye, why don't you hurry up, you Xiangyun are all assassins, and things like war shouldn't be what you're good at." Wang said lightly.
"Huh." Ye Lingyun laughed twice, and he continued: "City Lord Qiong, as a future ally, I hope to be able to help you a little, but as you said, Xiangyun is completely useless on the battlefield, but ......"
Ye Lingyun pulled out the red makeup behind him, and the red makeup was also embarrassing.
"This is the top three assassins in Xiangyun, named Red Makeup, she is not a martial artist, but she is proficient in medicine and disguise, I heard that you are not a martial artist in Qiong City Lord, she should be able to help you." Ye Lingyun said.
It's not a martial artist, and the four words seem to be an important point.
“…… You're going to keep her with me? Wang said lightly.
"Yes, I don't know what Qiongcheng thinks." Ye Lingyun asked.
Proficient in Medication...... This can really be exploited.
"Okay, then stay." Wang said.
Red Makeup walked to Wang's side a little stiffly, her years of training seemed to be a little scrapped at this time.
Joan...... The city lord ...... "Red makeup also forcibly said hello.
"Hehe, don't be so restrained, we're all close...... Hmmm......"
Halfway through Wang Dan's speech, Hongjiao had already sensed what he was about to say, so she quickly covered his mouth.
