Chapter Twenty-Six: Exploring the South City at Night
That night, Huo Nanqi and Ruo Fei Yanfeng infiltrated Nancheng with a small group of elites.
The silence in the southern city was terrifying, not at all as strict as imagined, logically speaking, there should be a lot of soldiers patrolling the city, but they observed in the dark for a while but could not see a single figure. There was no light on the streets, and the moonlit southern city was only the sound of the howling wind and the sound of a heartbeat so quiet that only the sound of a heartbeat could be heard.
A few people explored the city for a while, and found that the silence was abnormal, Huo Nanqi knew that something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Withdraw first." ”
If it weren't for the order and was about to withdraw the same way, Yan Feng suddenly grabbed Huo Nanqi's arm and said softly: "Young General, look." Following Yan Feng's gaze, Huo Nanqi saw several men in black sneakily burying something.
Huo Nanqi's eyes froze, all the black clay pots in their hands were being dug and buried in the ground, and Yan Feng said: "That's it?" Huo Nanqi nodded, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and said, "Leave here first." ”
A group of people sneaked in the dark like ghosts, not long after they came out of Nancheng, the sky was full of red light, and countless sword rain with sparks fell from the sky, and the sound of swords was everywhere in an instant, although Huo Nanqi and his party were only a dozen, but they were all elite soldiers, and in the face of this sudden attack, they were not in a hurry.
Everyone raised their swords to block, and many flying arrows and flints were knocked back, and there were more and more black-clothed people around, obviously this trap was set up for them, just waiting for their arrival today.
"Come with me." Yan Feng Dao.
Huo Nanqi paused for a moment, remembering that Yanfeng's mother was from southern Xinjiang, and it seemed that Yanfeng was guiding the way along the way, everyone ran for a long time, and came to a forest path, hundreds of black-clothed people were still chasing after them, sparks were flying, and the way back was blocked to death, and then going on like this was like catching a turtle in an urn, Huo Nanqi said: "You go first, there is a Gu array in the city, and the city must be broken tonight." ”
"Major General!" If it is not urgent, he said: "We are responsible for the break, you go first, and there must be no generals in the army." ”
"Listen to me!" Huo Nanqi said in a deep voice, casually threw the tiger talisman to Ruofei, turned around and hit the incoming rocket back, their feet were like the wind, and the enemy behind them was still chasing after them.
"Major General!" Everyone was reluctant to leave, and Huo Nanqi said angrily: "Is my order useless!?" Everyone's faces froze, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, Huo Nanqi attracted firepower with Ruofei and Yanfeng, and the other way rushed towards the direction of army repair.
Fortunately, after the two groups of people separated, all the firepower came towards Huo Nanqi and them, Huo Nanqi ripped off the masked black sermon on his face and said: "How do these Southern Barbarians seem to know in advance where we are going. If it weren't for the panting as he ran, he said, "yes, it's very strange." Yan Feng glanced at Huo Nanqi, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, and the three of them continued to run forward, Huo Nanqi looked ahead and said: "It's not a way to run like this, the branches in front are dense, let's talk about it after a fight first." ”
If it weren't for nodding, the wind of words was speechless, the three of them rushed into the woods and took a slow breath and raised their swords, there were too many people, even if they were as light as a swallow and cut numbness, they would be physically exhausted, and after killing a group, the three of them continued to retreat into the depths of the woods.
"This way!" Yan Feng said: "I remember that there is a river in front of us, we can enter the water and escape. ”
"Good!" The three of them ran forward quickly, Huo Nanqi suddenly felt a softness under his feet, not because he was physically exhausted, but because the ground under his feet suddenly became soft and collapsed, and said urgently: "Not good!" Pitfall. Before the words fell, a piece of soil under his feet scattered and cracked, turning into a deep pit, and the three of them fell down at the same time, Huo Nanqi's eyesight was excellent, and the moment he fell in, he saw countless silver needles standing at the bottom of the hole.
In just an instant, Huo Nanqi grabbed the two people beside him with all his arms with all his might, threw them out of the pit with a hard throw, and shouted: "Hurry up!" Because of the excessive force, he fell faster and harder, and thousands of needles pierced his body at the same time, Huo Nanqi snorted, and the sweat between his foreheads was like rain.
"Major General!" If it weren't for the pain shouted, and was about to go down, Yan Feng grabbed his arm and signaled him to see the cave clearly, if he jumped down impulsively, he would only die or be caught, Huo Nanqi also saw that if he almost jumped down, he was shocked, and shouted with pain: "Go quickly!" He vaguely felt that the needle was poisonous and a little ineffective.
"No! We can't throw you one here, to die everyone together! If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were already red, Yan Feng couldn't say what emotions he was when he stood on the edge of the cave, and he threw them up the moment he fell.
"Listen to me, you go back immediately with the tiger talisman, tonight while Gu City is not effective, you must stop it in advance. As for whether the people in the city are traps, remember not to harm the innocent! Huo Nanqi stood up with difficulty and continued towards the entrance of the cave: "Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." ”
If he wasn't still hesitating, although Huo Nanqi had always been the master, this master had always treated them like brothers, and he had never just been a waiter like others, and he pulled up his voice and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, he is right, the tiger talisman must not fall into the hands of the enemy." If it weren't for gritting his teeth and shouting: "The young general must wait for us to come back!" ”
"Good!" Huo Nanqi responded, looking at the entrance of the cave after the two left, the anger sank into the dantian, and the blood surged up all over the body, and the silver needle that was submerged in the body was shaken out, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the pinholes on his body at this time must be dense, because the feeling of pain in his body became clearer and clearer, and he raised his hand to seal his eight veins of the strange meridians, in case of poisoning too quickly, and when the people of southern Xinjiang came, they could bite hard and kill one more person.
Yan Fenghe saw the river not long after running, flew closer, and it took a long time to meet the army, and the people who had returned before had already gathered the generals to prepare to attack Nancheng overnight.
"What about the Major General? Didn't the hermit who just came back say you're together? Shao Jie asked.
"In order to save us from falling into the trap of the Southern Army, the major general sent a few people back to Beijing to inform the battle situation." If you take a breath and continue, "The rest of you are fast, come with me." ”
Five million soldiers and if it weren't for Yanfeng all the way forward, hearing that Nancheng was about to become a Gu City, their hearts were full of anger, the momentum in the army was mighty, and they all knew that they were about to face a tough battle, and before they arrived in Nancheng, someone had already begun to be poisoned, if they weren't still trying their best to find Huo Nanqi's figure, but Yanfeng was gone.
In the dungeon, a young man covered in blood, his hands and feet were chained, his handsome face did not show the slightest fear in the face of torture, and the young man in black sneered: "Stop." The man next to him took the whip in his hand and stepped aside.
When the young man heard a familiar voice and raised his eyes, when a thin black-clothed young man appeared in front of him, a trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of the young man who had never said anything in pain, and he said in a dumb voice: "Style? Huo Nanqi coughed a mouthful of redness, and looked at him with some incomprehension, this face has lived with him for several years, including his voice, he will not admit his mistake, and Huo Nanqi was still a little puzzled after being silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Did they arrest your sister?" ”
Yan Feng was stunned for a moment, walked towards him, looked at the whip wounds on his body and the scars oozing with blood, and had a trace of hesitation in his heart, but this hesitation was quickly suppressed by hatred, and he said softly with a smile: "I am the son of the Chen family." ”
"What?" Huo Nanqi was puzzled.
Yan Feng stood with his hands in his hands, and still said softly: "Back then, the Chen family was full of doors, was General Huo slaughtered happily?" ”
Hearing this, Huo Nanqi was stunned, about the wife of Mrs. Chen and the former queen to seek power to recruit troops, and then the emperor should have destroyed the nine clans, but he just abolished the queen and copied the Chen family, although he was still young at that time, but he also knew that the emperor still left a trace of kindness, but he had never heard that the Chen family had a son.
Thinking of this, Huo Nanqi didn't seem to understand, Yan Feng was taking revenge on the Huo family for the things of the year? Or was there really some threat, and was this just an excuse for him, Huo Nanqi didn't want to believe that the people who had been around him would betray him like this, so he replied: "Did they arrest your sister?" Or do you have something to worry about? ”
Yan Feng Xu didn't expect Huo Nanqi to ask him like this, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, his face changed and he said angrily: "Is it that your Huo family wants such a saint's face?!" My sister wasn't caught, and I didn't have any troubles, and you're just a stepping stone for me to climb up, a scrap of shreds under revenge! ”
