The rising sun has enveloped an inconspicuous town, which has gradually broken through the frost and entered the end of winter. The town had already sketched the outline of the wooden gates that had been tightly closed in the morning sun of the rising sun. There are no less than 50 soldiers patrolling the city tower back and forth on the city tower, and a big flag is hung on the city tower above the city, with the words "Qi Guo Ruocheng" written on it. The flag fluttered in the wind, and stood out in the still cold air.

And on the side of a small earthen hill outside the city, a small camp was stationed, and in the cowhide camp hung a picture of the bright moonlight, in which a neat bamboo forest and pine and cypress trees towered. And underneath the whole painting is a finishing touch written in delicate small print.

"The pine row mountain is a thousand heavy emeralds, and the moon is a pearl in the heart."

There is an army stationed in this camp, although they are still under the banner of "Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom". However, they had already communicated with the general in that city, and they were only waiting for the opportunity to come and fight on both sides. It was also this morning that the city quietly opened wide, and an army led by a young general wearing white armor and riding a white horse rushed out of the city gate, and quietly walked the main road to attack the eastern pass.

A short walk to the east of the tent, there is a suburb with almost no vegetation growing on the outside, but there is a poplar forest on the outside, but in fact it is a green space of bamboo forest. In this bamboo forest, the extremely rare purple yellow bamboo and white pine trees of the entire Demon Spirit Continent grow, as well as some other rare vegetation only grow here. Therefore, the monarch of Qi State specially ordered the generals and soldiers of Ruocheng to protect the vegetation in this bamboo forest.

Although purple bamboo and milky pine with milky roots are very rare, the other vegetation is not as rare as that of purple and white pine.

It is said that Zihuang bamboo can be made into the world's hardest weapons and bows and arrows, although iron smelting has begun to be practiced, and then ironware is made. However, the weapons made of Zihuang bamboo have a kind of toughness, although not as sharp as iron, but can have room for maneuver, with the development of the times, Zihuang bamboo is also slowly withdrawing from the world of the people, but the memory left by Zihuang bamboo is the best, the ancestors of Qi were through a Zihuang soldier unified the entire Qi country in the various separatist forces.

Another rare plant that grows in this bamboo forest, white pine, the use of white pine and Zihuang bamboo is basically the opposite, white pine is used as an adjuvant, can dissolve almost all the ** toxicity. Because the quantity is really very rare, white pine wood is also known as one of the most precious medicinal materials on the Demon Spirit Continent.

However, outside this bamboo forest, a group of "uninvited guests" has now arrived, and an army of about 1,500 people has appeared outside the bamboo forest, because this army is almost an army organized by the people and merchants near Ruocheng and Donglinguan, they are also quite familiar with this bamboo forest. So it didn't take much time, this army of about 1,500 people had successfully passed through the bamboo forest and came to the outside of Ruocheng City, and this army of about 1,500 people was actually preparing to come to Ruocheng to join the original Chinese army.

In fact, there had already been a coup d'état in the original Chinese army, and the two generals of the Ming clan had been assassinated by the soldiers in the Chinese army, and their heads had been sent to Ruocheng and handed over to the hands of Chen Jie, the general of Ruocheng, and Jiang Mingcheng, the leader of the alliance of the demon spirit secret envoy. This Chinese army has actually become the army of the Qi State, and their goal is to encircle and annihilate this army led by He Yu himself.

In the morning, Ruocheng's guard Chen Jie had already taken his headquarters to attack Donglinguan from the main road. The two of them expected that the army led by He Yu would not take the main road to attack Ruocheng, and they would definitely join their Chinese army from the bamboo forest path to attack Ruocheng together. So Chen Jie and Jiang Mingcheng agreed on such a plan to attack Donglinguan. Chen Jie took his headquarters to attack Donglinguan in the morning. Now the defenders of the eastern border pass basically have no army to guard it anymore.

Chen Jie and Jiang Mingcheng's plan is to directly eliminate He Yu and the last army in his hands through such a plan to prepare a two-line attack, and Chen Jie is now taking his own troops to attack the place where there is basically no army stationed now.

It's a pity that Chen Jie and Jiang Mingcheng didn't expect that He Yu and his own soldiers did not participate in this attack on Ruocheng. On the contrary, He Yu took more than 300 of his own soldiers to Zhongcheng, the capital of the feudal state, to seek support, but did not bring more than 1,500 people to participate in the battle of Ruocheng in person. Chen Jie and Jiang Mingcheng couldn't find any trace of him.

In fact, Chen Jie and Jiang Mingcheng made such a move, because there were not many defenders in Ruocheng, and Chen Jie once again left Ruocheng with more than 2,000 people from his headquarters to attack Donglinguan. Now there are less than 500 defenders in Ruocheng, and Jiang Mingcheng is leading the defense of Ruocheng alone. There were at least 3,000 people stationed outside Ruocheng, and although half of the soldiers had secretly become undercover agents anyway, Jiang Mingcheng still didn't dare to be sloppy and closely watched the defense line on the city tower.

At the head of Ruocheng City, a group of soldiers patrolling the castle tower with swords pinned to their waists bumped into a middle-aged man wearing a golden satin robe and two small iron balls in his hands, this middle-aged man in a golden satin robe was about forty years old. When the soldiers raised their heads, they saw the middle-aged man's face, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master Jiang!"

The middle-aged man in front of him nodded lightly and said, "Hmm." Then he walked up to the highest city tower, where he silently watched the bamboo forest in the distance and the camp set up by the bamboo forest, the middle-aged man's face was slightly solemn, and he couldn't help muttering: "Hey, this rebellion is coming to an end, in fact, it's because I don't know anyone."

Jiang Mingcheng sighed softly in the gentle morning breeze, the expression on his face was slightly solemn, and the two heavily armed guards standing behind him did not speak. The two of them were demon spirit envoys under Jiang Mingcheng. Naturally, they knew their alliance leader very well, so they didn't dare to say anything, in fact, they all knew it.

The relationship between Jiang Mingcheng and He Yu is very complicated, saying that they are like master and apprentice, but they are not master and apprentice, and for them, this relationship of mentor and friend has always connected the two of them. This is also the reason why even Jiang Mingcheng can't kill He Yu now.

It was precisely because of Jiang Mingcheng's strong protection and recommendation that He Yu, a Ming clan whose identity was hidden, was able to take up such an important position as the general of Donglin Pass, although He Yu had excellent strategic vision and military talent. But after all, once the matter of his being a descendant of the Ming clan reached the ears of the monarch of the Qi State. Even Jiang Mingcheng couldn't protect He Yu's safety, so He Yu was forced to hide his identity from the outside world, but privately gathered the clansmen who had escaped when they were exterminated everywhere. These clansmen have gathered to the east of the pass, and the Ming people themselves want revenge, and they are eager for war in their bones. Therefore, when He Yu was preparing to implement the Mingyue Heavenly Kingdom plan, all the Ming clansmen shouted in support. This led to such a coup d'état.

As this happened, many soldiers and friends found that Jiang Mingcheng's spirit occasionally languished, and his back looked more lonely than before. Perhaps only he understands in his own heart that his life on the surface is very normal and orderly, but as long as those close to him can see the loneliness in his heart. Jiang Mingcheng has always been alone, and he has no relatives around him. His loneliness and loneliness could only be deeply felt by himself. Jiang Mingcheng let out a long sigh, turned around and walked down the city tower. No matter how many complicated emotions there are in his heart, the next day is when he and Chen Jie agreed to launch the final general attack together. Jiang Mingcheng will naturally destroy this rebel army with Chen Jie, and he promises to do this

The clear sky faded from the faint mist, and under the clear sky was a deep boudoir palace, at the top of which sat a young man in a golden robe and a crown of purple hair. The dress on the young man's body was embroidered with a five-colored dragon, which was obviously a dragon robe that only the emperor could wear. On both sides of his head stood the civil and military officials in the court. The palace is surrounded by a cyan curtain, and the top of the palace is supported by four huge coiling dragon stone pillars. Pieces of clear glass line the surroundings of this palace. A eunuch stood at the door of the palace and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, General He Yu of the Bright Moon Heavenly Kingdom is here!"

"Biography!" The young man sitting on the dragon chair was only about twenty years old, but his voice seemed to be unstartled, and even filled with a trace of irresistible imperial majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanming Yue Heavenly Kingdom General He Yu will meet you!" The royal guard standing at the door heard the eunuch's scream, as if both sides had made way and let He Yu and the two old men who followed him in. As for the more than 300 cronies and soldiers brought by He Yu, Guang Wujun had already arranged for a general to take them to see the military strength of their loyal city.

"He Yu, see His Majesty Guangwujun!" He Yu walked step by step past the civil and military officials standing under Guangwujun's seat, He Yu knelt down on one knee and bowed deeply to Guangwujun, the monarch of the feudal kingdom sitting on the dragon chair.

Guang Wujun's face was basically expressionless, and his face was solemn, "Didn't you already go to the Feng Zhan Society for backup, why did you still come to Zhongcheng?" his voice was filled with a hint of seriousness. And after He Yu heard this, he probably understood that there were also deep hidden dangers within the feudal country, even deeper than the contradictions within the Qi country.

Guang Wujun's question shocked He Yu into a cold sweat, He Yu reluctantly pretended to be calm and said: "Your Majesty Guang Wujun, it was not our intention to hide this matter, but the sect leader of the Feng War Society took the initiative to come to us and ask for help, I really didn't know about this matter at the time, so please forgive me." ”

"Oh, yes, I don't know if General He Yu said this, wasn't he afraid of retribution?" As soon as He Yu's voice fell, a voice came from outside the hall that made everyone hear it. Even Guang Wujun, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair very calmly, couldn't help but lean forward and secretly clenched his fists. The civil and military ministers, who were originally standing in two rows, were whispering something there. Knowing that in front of them appeared a bronze mask with a dark red cloak draped over it. The whole person was full of a strong murderous intent.
