Chapter 188: A Glimmer of Hope

November 8, 798 in the Guangming calendar, dusk. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The holy decree announcing Guo Zizhong's rebellion instantly spread throughout the entire imperial capital. Countless gendarmes rode out of the city to deliver the decree to all the important towns of Gyeonggi. They will work with the military judges of the garrisons to control the local garrison generals and prevent them from acting aggressively. No one dares to underestimate the influence of Guo Zizhong's three words!

In the palace, all the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were captured unconscious, because under the orders of the queen, their meals were poisoned by all the attendants. After the gendarmes were ordered to enter the palace, more than half of the 3,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion were beheaded, including nearly 600 personal guards brought into the palace by Guo Zizhong from Wolf City. And the commander of the Janissary Guard of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the son of Guo Zizhong, Guo Wu's whereabouts are unknown. Some palace people reported that they had seen Guo Wu unconscious on the ground in the imperial study, but after repeated searches, he was still missing.

It took nearly two hours for the empress herself to persuade the support of nearly half of the court, and thus the rule within the palace was stable.

......

Before dusk, the most tragic battle in the entire imperial capital took place in the governor's palace of the Central Army. Two hundred guards and more than 600 soldiers of the Central Army were almost completely killed. There were less than 200 people left in the Central Army, and more than half of the guards were killed, leaving only more than 80 people. Of course, their opponents, the group of prisoners from the Metropolitan Procuratorate's prison, suffered even more casualties, and there were now less than 3,000 of the more than 5,000 people left.

Among them, the fierce blonde orc leader was cut off by Xiao Lei, and the young undead of the Twilight clan overcast the spell and looked like an old woman. In the process of fighting, there were also prisoners who could not bear the killing and wanted to escape, but they were directly shot and killed by the military police who supervised the war outside the palace.

So, these notorious villains finally realized that there were only two ways before them, either to find the mother and son by walking through the corpses of their guards, or to leave them as corpses in the dilapidated Doge's Palace. Either way, it's no different from going to hell. As a result, the battle gradually thinned out, and the prisoners who could survive were all human spirits, and they also pretended to fight, but most of them did not contribute to the work, and the personal guard battalion also found out about this and was happy to rest for a while.

......

In the back house, Huo Yu held the child and looked at a side room uneasily. According to Ye Shuang, the drunken man in the wing room was her and the child's only hope of leaving safely.

Huo Yu didn't believe it at first, because she couldn't connect that bearded, mud-like man with a famous Northern Frontier general, Meng Dun. She couldn't convince herself that this man soaked in the vat was really the commander of the wolf cavalry battalion, the loyal general Monton, who was known as the hand of the governor? If it was really that person, then there would indeed be a little more hope of leaving, at least the legendary general would be able to take his own child.

"General Monton, General Monton, wake up, wake up......" Ye Shuang kept pushing the drunken man with his hand, who smelled of alcohol.

Monton's eyes were worried, the corners of his mouth were dripping with wine, the woman in front of him was blurry and couldn't see it really, he muttered vaguely, "You...... Who is it?"

"I'm Ye Shuang, General Monton, you've seen me, and you've talked to me about ......"

Ye Shuang looked at Mengton's current appearance and wondered in her heart. She didn't know what made the man so depressed that he was like a drunk on the street. When he was at the foot of the Juyong Mountain Range, Ye Shuang clearly remembered that although the other party was a little melancholy, the whole person was deep and mountainous, and he was a famous general. At that time, Monton also deliberately approached her and talked about some things about the orc kingdom. Although Monton's eyes were sad, when he looked at her, he showed a kind of elder love. In Ye Shuang's opinion, it must be because of the relationship between the Governor, and Meng Dun also sees himself as his junior.

"Leaf frost...... Ye Shuang ......." Meng Dun repeated a few times vaguely, and suddenly opened his eyes, the blue eyes faintly appeared, as if he had suddenly changed a person, and his voice became clear, "Frost ...... Miss Ye Shuang, it's you. A hint of excitement appeared on Monton's face.

"General Monton, it's great that you're finally awake. Please help Sister Yu'er and her children, or they will really be snatched away and they will be killed. ”

"What jade...... , what kid ......" Monton, who had just woken up, was confused.

"General, come with me, quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Ye Shuang was anxious, and went up directly to pull Mengton's rough and dirty palm.

Monton stood up in a daze, and followed Ye Shuang out, he felt the slight warmth of his palms, and the whole person actually had a warm feeling. This girl is his only relative in the world, and the only person he swears to protect to death.

However, as soon as Monton went out, he was shocked by the sight before him, with thick smoke billowing and corpses hanging on the walls, and a thick smell of blood in the air. Could it be that he was so drunk that he had come to another world? What happened? He only remembered that he was drunk and woke up, woke up and drunk......

"General Mengton, this is Sister Huo Yu, she is the current princess, this is her child. Save them. Ye Shuang pleaded with a crying voice.

Monton finally turned around from his shock, and he suddenly pulled Ye Shuang's hand and said, "Frost...... Miss Ye Shuang, it's dangerous here, come with me!"

Ye Shuang was stunned, broke free of the other party's palm, and said with a slightly red face: "General Mengton, it's not me who is leaving, it's Sister Yu'er and her child." People from outside want to kill them......"

Huo Yu also knelt down in front of Meng Dun Yingying: "Please save my child, general." ”

Monton looked at Ye Shuang, who pleaded with him, and his hard and cold heart immediately softened. Alas, Shuang'er, this child is as kind as her sister who is unwilling to die. Thinking of the sister who raised him, Monton couldn't help but clench his fists.

Guo ...... Where is the Governor, Lord Governor?" Meng Dun glanced at Ye Shuang, and finally couldn't help but call Guo Zizhong's name directly.

"The Governor went to the palace and did not return for most of the day. Sister Yu'er said that it was likely that the Governor was also in danger. ”

He looked at Huo Yu and asked, "Do you know who is coming from outside, why do you want to arrest you and the child?"

Huo Yu was taken aback by the other party's cold eyes, and immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know." The guards wouldn't let us get any closer to the frontβ€”"

Monton frowned: "You guys wait here, I'll be back soon......"

He strode in the direction where the sounds of battle could be heard.

......

At this time, the battle has become more and more sparse, and even the well-managed orc leader has no choice. These guards guarding the back house were so fierce that even the slightly weaker soldiers of the Central Army became fearless of death. It seems that the freedom promised by Dai Chen is indeed not so easy to obtain.

However, these prisoners were not completely helpless, and the three of them took turns to attack, constantly draining the energy and physical strength of the defenders, and when the will of these defenders completely collapsed, it was the moment of their victory.

This time, the leader of the group of people who went up was the South China Sea man with a cross tattooed on his head, and his eyes were extremely dangerous and sharp. Because he had already set his sights on the lieutenant surnamed Cao, he was confident that he would be killed in this attack. The prisoner behind him had already rushed towards the defenders, and the captain surnamed Cao was obviously unable to support it, and he had been slashed several times on his body, although the wound was not deep, but it was enough to prove that he was already at the end of the crossbow.

The fatal blow was at this moment, and his body shook continuously, barely able to catch the trajectory of his movements. A short dagger stabbed fiercely into Cao Jian's heart. However, Cao Jian, who was already languishing, suddenly had a flash in his eyes, as if he had eyes behind his back, and the scimitar cut horizontally, slashing across the opponent's waist and abdomen like lightning.

Hiss, the man realized that he had been fooled, and quickly retreated, but he could dodge the fatal knife, and blood was faintly oozing. He immediately became furious, no longer hiding his strength, the whole person seemed to penetrate the space, and instantly came to Cao Jian's face, and the dagger slashed to his throat again.

In the face of such a swift sword, he knew that he had no way to dodge, he was really at the end of his crossbow, and the blow just now had consumed almost all his strength.

"Boom!" A majestic air current pushed him aside, he looked at the long-haired man who saved him in front of him in surprise, and was so surprised that he lost his voice: "Boss Meng, you finally woke up!"

Monton did not stop, and the whole person was like a violent wind, rushing the attacking prisoners to pieces. The soldiers of the Guards Battalion and the Central Army were all overjoyed, this was a ray of hope in the darkness of despair!

The resting orc leader and the young Twilight Undead also looked up and looked in amazement at the flamboyant middle-aged man in the defenders. I can't imagine that there is such a master hidden in the other party's camp?

The two exchanged a look, they couldn't wait any longer, if they let the other party's morale fully rise, they were afraid that their previous efforts would be wasted, and then there would only be a harder battle. Therefore, no matter how much sacrifice is paid, it must be resolved quickly. (To be continued.) )
