Hearing Xu Fei blurt out the word faint gentleman, the old man's eyes radiated a terrifying light.

"Faint king, faint king! These faint kings are only for themselves to sit in the world, where do they care about the life and death of the people. I waited for several times to ask for battle, but the capital has reached the time when the soldiers are in danger, and after ten days and a half of no reinforcements, it is estimated that all the people in the capital will starve to death except for the people in the inner city. ”

The ministers kowtowed to fight until their heads were broken and bleeding, and Chen said that the faint king finally understood that if this continued, even the soldiers and horses in the outer city would starve to death, and at that time there would be no one to defend the city for him. Only then did he make up his mind to go out of the city to fight. ”

When Xu Fei heard that he was going to go out of the city to fight, he knew that these Shence troops must have come out of the city through the secret passage of troops, and he was about to talk about the key to this matter, and he listened attentively.

I only heard the old man say: "Although this faint king promised to go to war, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and repeatedly asked how many men and horses there were in the enemy army and how many men and horses there were in Kyoto. I couldn't make up my mind, and so two more days passed. At this time, some ministers offered advice, saying that although the number of such rebellious troops was numerous, they were all rabble, and there was nothing to be afraid of. ”

"You only need to lead a strange soldier to take the Chinese army directly, those chaotic soldiers are scattered in formation, and the training is poor, as long as this strange army destroys the withering and decaying impact, I think these chaotic troops will be chaotic without a fight. As long as the enemy army is dispersed and the commander is killed, the danger of Kyoto will be solved. ”

"But the faint king knows what generals are fighting against, and when he hears that he wants to use thousands of people to attack hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, he will say nonsense such as the enemy army is strong, and finally say that he wants to think about it in the long run. Unexpectedly, the next day, the court made a plan to raid the enemy army at night, which surprised all the ministers. ”

Xu Fei thought to himself, I'm afraid that the faint gentleman has figured it out, and there is nothing strange about it, I don't know why this old man said it in such detail in this place. Just thinking of what the old man said below, he explained the reason.

"The faint king suddenly summoned the Shence army, saying that he would raid the enemy's army tonight, and he wanted the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy. After finishing speaking, he arranged the Shence army in the palace in Kyoto, which is now in the Taishi Mansion. In the middle of the night, the water of the lotus pond glowed, revealing this secret passage for transporting troops. ”

"I waited for 3,000 Shence troops to set out from this secret passage to transport troops, walked a few miles to the west of the city, formed a formation outside the city, and then went around to the back of the large camp of the chaotic army, and then launched a night attack. This time the killing was really painful, those chaotic armies were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and they broke the Chinese army in an instant. ”

"It's just that the Zhang brothers are nowhere to be found, as soon as the Chinese army is broken, the chaotic army at night doesn't know how many people came, and I thought it was the reinforcements from the imperial court who arrived from the border pass. Therefore, there was chaos, and the soldiers and horses in Kyoto also took the opportunity to kill, and the enemy army was defeated inside and out, and the danger of Kyoto was solved. ”

When Xu Fei heard this, he felt that it was completely consistent with what Zhou Xiongqi said, and the dust had settled at this time, and he didn't know what drastic changes had happened, which would make this once the most loyal commander of the Shence Army become what he is now.

couldn't help but say to the old man: "That predecessor defeated the rebellious army and made great achievements, he will inevitably be rewarded by the imperial court, how can he turn against the royal family?"

The white-haired old man laughed miserably when he heard this: "Meritorious deeds in the world? Commendation and reward?

These words were full of hatred, and his eyes almost spewed fire.

"We have defeated the rebel army, and according to the prior order, we will return to the entrance of the secret passage in the west of the city to assemble. We were all puzzled by the glory of not accepting the welcome of the people entering the city, but we didn't think much about it. It was a full day before the imperial court sent an envoy to the labor army. ”

"After coming, everyone was rewarded with wine and meat, and after eating and drinking, I was told to wait for me to return from the secret passage. And he asked us to take off our armor and put down our weapons and return to the city, saying that we would go directly to the royal inner city through this secret passage. Although my brothers and I were a little confused, the soldiers forbade it, and without thinking too much, the whole team entered the secret passage. ”

Hearing this, Xu Fei and Xia Aiqing were both very smart and clever people, and they immediately noticed this abnormal behavior. These people were originally the ones who guarded the royal inner city, and even if they returned directly to the royal inner city from the secret passage, they didn't have to do anything to avoid it. This disarmament is simply too unusual.

Sure enough, I heard the white-haired old man say: "Those who followed us into the secret passage were the soldiers and horses brought by the envoy, as well as many people with strong energy. At that time, the war had just ended, and there was no suspicion. Who knew that after walking for miles, the road ahead was blocked by people and horses. ”

"Right here, right here and now, the soldiers and horses in front and back suddenly attacked the unarmed brothers, they came prepared, the front were all strong masters, and the strong bows and crossbows in the back shot like flying locusts, and the brothers were in pain in their stomachs at this time. ”

"It turns out that the dog has been poisoned in the wine and meat of the labor army, and the time has been calculated. Although the poor brothers have exquisite strength and martial arts, they have no power to fight back after being poisoned, and they are shot like hedgehogs one by one. ”

Xu Fei's heart was agitated when he heard this, and he couldn't help himself, and Xia Aiqing's eyes faintly revealed tears. Unexpectedly, these soldiers who had just sacrificed their lives and made great achievements were slaughtered by the faint monarch in a blink of an eye.

The old man's voice also became choked, and he was speechless for a while, and he settled down.

After a while, he continued: "Before they died, the brothers desperately shouted that I was innocent. However, those masters shouted loudly while slaughtering, the Shence Army plotted against the enemy, colluded with the Yellow Turban Army to disrupt the party, and now they are killed by holy orders. ”

"The brothers are all energetic and capable, and those with high skills can barely fight, and they have a fierce battle with those soldiers and horses. If you look at these traces on the stone wall, they are the result of the great battle of that year. The other party was prepared to fight, and we waited for the bare-handed body to be severely poisoned, and most of them were killed and injured in a short time. ”

"These stone walls are all added with charms, and I can't do it if I want to destroy and block the enemy soldiers, and in the end my brothers were killed one by one, and I was the only one left to survive. ”

Xu Fei couldn't help but be puzzled, this kind of thing must be cut down to the roots, so as to prevent future troubles, where is there a reason to leave a living mouth?

Then he opened his mouth and asked: "Since the enemy army is strong, and the Shence army is highly poisoned, I don't know how the predecessors escaped?"

Xia Aiqing also wanted to ask this sentence, because this matter was really suspicious, could it be that this person was greedy for life and afraid of death, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy?

The white-haired old man said: "I had a name when I was young, and I think the older generation of Jianghu people still heard of it, called Mingtian Qing Cicada. The strength is the ability thaumaturgy to perceive the nobility of the cicada, not to mention the rest, the ability to hibernate in the ground of the cicada is a unique skill. ”

"Before the cicada was unearthed, it hiberned in the soil for more than ten years and was immortal, and this kind of strength method was unknown to others. The brothers in the army only know my ability to hurt people and fly high, but they don't know that I still have this ability to keep my eyes on it. Seeing that the tide was turning, I broke open the stone face under the corpses of my brothers and hibernated in the stones. ”

The stone surface of the ground was as hard as steel, and the white-haired old man said that he could break through the stone surface and bury his entire body in it. At that time, this person was highly poisoned and unarmed, which shows the wonder of this cicada's energy.

The old man knew that his strength was too peculiar, so he said a few more words.

"With this kind of cicada energy, I sneaked into the earth and rocks like humus, where the stone surface is hard and there are many counter-charms, so I tried my best to use my strength to smash the stone surface and then dive into the crevices of the rocks. ”

"It's just that it's less than three feet below the surface, and it's hard to hide this kind of hiding from a detailed search, but things have changed, and I have a chance to lie dormant underground and escape. ”

"The blood of the brothers almost flooded the ground, and the soldiers and horses mended the knives of the brothers one by one, and they searched the top of my head, but I heard these people also screaming, followed by the sound of people falling to the ground, and some people shouting for poisoning. ”

"This damn dumb man poisoned these people too!"
