Guan Zheng and Lan You were both here, their faces were gloomy, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing.

Now they are both waiting for news, waiting for the news that Shangguanxiu has been killed.

As long as Shangguan Xiu is dead, then no matter how many innocents are injured, they can be pushed to the traitorous party, and if Shangguan Xiu is not dead...... Guan Zheng and Lan You didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Time passes minute by minute, and for Guan and Lan, every minute and second of the present is incomparably long.

Lan You couldn't help but stand up, pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. At that moment, with a bang, the door was slammed open, and the steward who was in charge of lighting the explosives rushed in from the outside.

Guan Zheng, who was still sitting in the chair, bounced up from the chair like a spring, his eyes widened wide and circled, and he looked at the steward intently, and asked, "How is it? Is Shangguan Xiu dead?"

The housekeeper's facial features were almost pulled together, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said with a crying voice: "Master, Shangguan Xiu...... Shangguan Xiu is not dead......"

Hearing this, Guan Zheng and Lan You's heads buzzed at the same time. Guan Zheng's figure that had just stood up shook a few times, and then sat back on the chair, dumbfounded, stunned, and did not react for a long time.

Lan You's face turned pale, his fists clenched tightly, and he asked, "Shangguan Xiu is not dead, but he was injured by the explosion?"

"How is that possible...... How is it possible?" Without waiting for the steward to answer, Guan Zheng muttered: "With so many explosives, even a mountain can collapse, let alone a mere person? How could Shangguan Xiu not be dead, how could he not be dead?"

In the end, Guan Zheng's facial features were distorted, and the whole person roared loudly in the chair as if he was crazy.

"Yes...... It was before the explosives exploded that someone suddenly assassinated, and Shangguan Xiu went to chase the assassin, and he ...... I narrowly escaped the catastrophe......" said the steward in a trembling voice, and as he spoke, snot and tears flowed from his nose and tears.

He was well aware of the cost of the failure of the operation, and that many people would die, including himself, of course.

"Heaven is endless, Shangguan Xiu! Heaven is absolutely me!" Guan Zheng spoke, and suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in his throat and eyes, and he wowed, spitting out bloody arrows. Lan You shook his head again and again, and muttered, "It's over, we're all done now!"

He staggered back two steps, turned his head to look at Guan Zheng who was vomiting blood, he walked forward quickly, grabbed Guan Zheng's arm, and said urgently: "Hurry up and pack up and go out of the city with me......!"

Before he finished speaking, Guan Zheng twisted his arm and shook off Lan You's hand, he looked up and laughed, laughing and laughing, tears flowed down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go? Where else can we go? No, I'm not leaving, I'm going to be here! I'm the county guard, I'm going to stay in the county guard's mansion!"

"Lord Guan, Guan Zheng!" Lan You roared and roared sharply: "Staying, it's a dead end!"

"Die? I'm ready to die, I'm going to die here, I'm going to die here, I'm going to die in my county guard's mansion!" Guan Zheng laughed wildly as he turned and walked towards the side door in the hall.

Looking at Guan Zheng's disheartened and already desperate back, Lan Yu sighed secretly, he squinted his eyes, and finally turned his heart sideways, no longer paying attention to Guan Zheng, he turned around and ran out, and at the same time said to his entourage: "Prepare the horse, go to the county army camp!"

Not long after Lan You left the county guard's mansion, the gendarmerie led by Shangguanxiu arrived. The gendarmerie surrounded the county guard's house, and the gendarmes rushed into the county guard house in groups with firearms.

The huge county guard's mansion, chickens and dogs jumped, and it became a pot of porridge. Shangguan Xiu, under the escort of Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, strode into the county guard's mansion, passed through the front yard, and came to the study in the atrium. Some gendarmes had already smashed open the door of the study, and Shangguan Xiu walked directly into the study.

In the study, he saw Guan Zheng, to be exact, Guan Zheng's corpse. Guan Zheng was in the study and hanged himself with a white silk.

On the table, there was also a confession, in which he confessed to the assassination of Shangguan Xiu, and only begged the court to spare the lives of his entire family.

Shangguan Xiu read the confession, slapped it on the desk, and asked sideways, "Where is Lan You? Lan You is in Lan Mansion now?"

"Brother Xiu, report, Lan You is now in the county army camp outside the city!"

"It seems that he still wants to resist stubbornly!" Shangguan Xiu sneered and said, "Lock up and down everyone in the county guard mansion and interrogate them severely!" As he spoke, he shook his head again and said, "Let's go!"

Ning County is a border county, and it is also a border county next to the enemy, Ning County has a lot of county troops, there are as many as 50,000 standing troops alone, if a war breaks out, Ning County's reserve can make up 200,000 soldiers and horses within half a month.

The main force of the county army is stationed in the large camp of the county army outside Fengyang City, and there are currently 30,000 people.

Shangguan Xiu led the army to the Ningjun military camp, only to see that the gate was closed, and the camp wall was full of soldiers who were fully armed, ready to fight, and holding torches.

Although the Ningjun Army is a local army, due to the special geographical location, the equipment of the Ningjun Army is comparable to that of the Central Army.

The soldiers used all the same guns, but they were a little behind the newly developed guns used by the gendarmerie, and the breech loading and ammunition were not integrated paper shells.

Looking at the military camp in front of them, it was completely like a great enemy, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei looked at Shangguan Xiu in disbelief, and asked: "Brother Xiu, is it possible for Lan You to support the army and rebel?"

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "There is only one way to die if you are captured, both horizontally and vertically, it is better to fight to the death, maybe there is a way to live!"

"This thief is hateful, and he is extremely bold!" Xiao Jue said in a condensed voice.

Shangguan Xiu snorted out laughing, in order to kill himself, he even used so many explosives, and even did not hesitate to blow up the officials of the county government and the squires and businessmen near Fengyang.

He said: "Send a brother over, let the soldiers of the county army immediately open the door of the camp and hand over Lan You, otherwise, our army will launch a strong attack on the county army camp, and all the soldiers in the camp will be punished for treason and rebellion!"

"Yes!" Xiao Jue agreed, and immediately sent a gendarme.

The gendarmes rode to a place still a stone's throw away from the camp, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the county army brothers in the camp, Lan Youxing assassinated His Royal Highness the Duke of the Kingdom, the crime is unforgivable, and it is not a pity to die. What Lan You did has nothing to do with the brothers of the county army, as long as the brothers of the county army hand over Lan You, His Royal Highness promises that he will not be guilty of the past, if he is obsessed and has to be with Lan You's generation, it is tantamount to confronting the imperial court, it is treason and rebellion, and in the end, not only will he end up in a different place, but also the nine clans, where to go, the brothers of the county army must think clearly!"

His words brought a lot of shock to the officers and men of the county army.

Lan You is the county lieutenant, and the one in charge is the county army, and the generals in the county army are basically Lan You's henchmen, and they are loyal to Lan You, but the soldiers below don't think so. Lan Youxing failed to assassinate Shangguan Xiu, why did he let himself accompany him to death?

Just when the soldiers at the head of the city were talking about it, one of the generals looked left and right, and when he saw that the army's heart was fluctuating, he shouted: "Don't listen to the other party's rhetoric, if the adults fail, our lives will not be guaranteed, for the sake of today, we can only defend the camp, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can join forces with the outside and break out! As long as we follow the adults, we will all eat and drink spicy food, and enjoy the glory and wealth!"

"Brothers of the county army, don't wait any longer, hurry up and hand over Lan You, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!" the shouts of the gendarmes came again from outside the camp.

The general gritted his teeth, drew his saber from his side, pointed it to the outside of the camp, and shouted, "Shoot!"

After shouting, seeing that the soldiers around him were unmoved, he shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to disobey the order will be punished by military law!" As he spoke, he slashed at the nearest soldier with his sword.

The soldier was slashed at the neck by his sword, and a bloody arrow spurted out, and the soldier fell to the ground on his back, and the man only twitched twice, and then he stopped moving. When the surrounding soldiers saw this, they were all shocked and horrified, hated and afraid.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "Now following Lan You, it is a dead end, we are not sorry to die ourselves, but we can't let our family suffer with us!"

This man's shout spoke to the hearts of all the county soldiers. No one jumped out of a stone, they all had family and friends. It is still unknown whether he is dead or alive by following Lan You, even if he is lucky to survive in the end and runs away with Lan You, what will happen to his family? Can he still run with the whole family?

"What are you waiting for? Quickly carry out the order!" Seeing that the soldiers around him were still unmoved, and refused to shoot at the military police outside, he was also anxious at this time, reached out and grabbed the collar of a soldier, dragged him to his front, and asked with a red face and a thick neck: "I let you fire, did you hear it?"

The soldier lowered his head, and instead of saying a word, he threw away the firearm in his hand. Seeing this, the general was so angry that he stabbed out with a sword, and the blade penetrated the soldier's lower abdomen and poked out behind him. The soldier screamed and fell to the ground.

As if he had gone mad, the general raised his blood-dripping sword, pointed it around the crowd, and shouted, "If you dare to disobey the order, I will kill you all......

Bang dang, bang dang -

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of firearms falling to the ground, and the generals looked around, only to see the surrounding soldiers throw away the firearms in their hands one after another, and stand up one by one with their heads down.

"Damn, are you still going to rebel? Adults treat you a lot on weekdays, but now that adults are in trouble, you are doing this to adults?"

"General, it's not that the little ones don't want to listen to the adults, it's that the little ones just want to leave a way for their families to live!" said a soldier in a choked voice.

"Stay alive, Lao Tzu will kill you now!" the general rushed to the soldier in a frustrated manner, and with another sword, he slashed him to the ground, and then he slashed around with his sword, and the nearby soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

However, his movements soon froze, and the soldiers who had already thrown away the guns picked them up again, but the muzzles of the guns were not aimed at the gendarmes outside the camp, but at him.
