The five cities occupied by the Tianping Kingdom were Linhe City, Yicheng City, Lechi City, Qiusheng City and Border City, except for Linchi City, which was closest to Tianhe King City, which was in a confrontation with the Tianhe army, the defenders of the other cities were immersed in the joy of capturing the territory of other countries.

Outside Linhe City, Ying Yi took out a note, on which it was written, "Divide the army into five cities, and take the head of the enemy general." After reading it, he carefully destroyed it, and gathered the other four shadow guards who were waiting around him: "This time, our target is the top general of each city, and there is an invisibility charm, so it should be foolproof." After succeeding, they hid in the city, waiting for the eldest prince to lead the troops into the city, do you understand?" After speaking, he took out a paper talisman, and each of them had three invisibility talismans, two healing talismans, and one poison dispel talisman.

Zhao Yi's talisman making skills have greatly improved, this time due to the limitation of materials, the number of invisibility talismans has only reached thirty, but fifteen of the twenty paper talismans in the shadow hand are of perfect quality, and at least two of the ones distributed to the shadow guard are of perfect quality. The shadow guards were quite excited to receive the assassination mission, since Zhao Wangye took over as the city lord, they rarely received such tasks, except for training for a day, they were hidden in the dark to protect the safety of the palace. Now that I can go to the battlefield, my heart is uplifted, and the blood that has been silent for a long time begins to boil, and the battlefield is where men should go!

After glancing at each other a few times, putting away the spirit talisman in their hands, the four people dressed in black shouted in a low voice: "Understood!" Each chose a city and disappeared into the vast night. Kageichi stayed, as his target was Riverside City. The easiest, but also the most dangerous. The danger is that the army in the city has been in confrontation with the army outside the city for a long time, and must not relax its vigilance.

Zhao Ren and Zhang Fei came to the barracks of the Tianhe army very smoothly, and Zhang Qing, the general of the army, was the one who led the troops to rescue Zhao Ren. The balance of the country is large, Zhang Qing had to give up part of the city, let the enemy divide the army, most of the people in the city have been evacuated, and the army has retained most of the living force.

Waiting for Zhang Qing to briefly introduce the current situation, Zhao Ren asked: "General Zhang, how sure are you of the current siege?" Zhang Qing thought for a while and spoke: "The troops are enough, and the soldiers are also holding their breath and want to recover the lost territory, and the morale is flourishing. ”

Zhao Ren knew that Zhang Qing's worries were not unreasonable, but he didn't know that he had a secret weapon in his hand, so

Again: "If the beheading operation can be carried out, if someone can be taken into the city, how sure are you?"

Zhang Qing was slightly stunned, how the other cities were guarded, he didn't know very well, this Linhe City was heavily defended, and it might be difficult to get in, let alone assassinate. At the moment, he hesitated, "If this is the case, you should be very sure." ”

Zhao Ren showed an unfathomable smile and said calmly: "General Zhang, please wait for good news, now you only need to tell the armor soldiers to get ready, and there will be someone to welcome us into the city at night." Even though Zhang Qing had thousands of doubts at this time, he knew that it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to go down to arrange the sergeant and wait for the night to fall.

As soon as Ying posted an invisibility talisman, he felt really distressed, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were gone. After this perfect invisibility charm is used, it will not show its body without fighting people. Thinking that this mission could not be missed, he couldn't care about being distressed, and after waiting for two hours, he secretly sneaked in when the city gate was open and the enemy patrol guards took over their shifts.

At this time, an enemy soldier looked around suspiciously, hugged his companions around him and said, "Bing Yi, did you feel a gust of wind blowing just now, as if someone was walking by?" At this time, the voice of enemy soldier B came to his ears: "Bing Jia, did you not rest well last night, or are you too nervous in the face of the army of Tianhe Kingdom, in this broad daylight, where is there anyone, hell!" Seeing that the city gate was slowly closing, he ignored the soldiers A and B who were joking on the side, and went straight to find the commander of the enemy army.

"Have you heard, General Liu suggested to the king that the troops were insufficient and he was no longer ready to attack the Tianhe Kingdom, and that he was sending envoys to the Tianhe King City to negotiate a truce. "In an inn, two sergeants were drinking. The other took over the conversation: "This time the kingdom has made a lot of money, captured five cities, this truce can also extort a sum of money in the Tianhe country, this truce, we can return to China and be promoted!" The man who began to speak laughed, "A certain military merit has been established, this time it must be able to be promoted to a hundred people, and the brother must not be bad!" The person who spoke afterwards smiled, obviously agreeing, but just raised the wine bowl: "Drink, drink." ”

Ying Yi spent a lot of effort and finally inquired about the residence of Liu Meng, the leader of the army, and learned that every night, Liu Meng would spend half an hour in the study to check the intelligence documents. At this time, Keichi hid in a corner of the study, waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

Liu Meng was a little restless at this time, as if something terrible was coming, this feeling had made him escape life and death several times, and he couldn't help but call his guards, send more people, and wait carefully. Since the capture of Linhe City, he has been confronted with the Tianhe army for a month, and although he has the help of Prince Yan, he can't erase the credit for winning five cities in a row. According to the reports of his subordinates, there is news that the envoys of the kingdom will arrive in Linhe City tomorrow and prepare to go to Tianhe Kingdom to negotiate the armistice reparations. He had to put down what he was doing and check the documents again, if the negotiation was over, it would mean that he could go back to the royal city to receive a reward and become an official and a knight.

Walking into the study, Liu Meng felt a little depressed, looked left and right, but everything was normal, and secretly sighed in his heart that the pressure had been too much recently, so that he was suspicious. I took the paper off the desk and spread it out, and when I browsed it, the color of joy jumped on my face. It's just that before he put down the paperwork, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, and just wanted to shout for help, his mouth was covered, and he only had time to see the tip of the blade through his chest and a piece of black clothes, and he felt that the strength in his body slowly dissipated, and his consciousness gradually dissipated. Ying saw that this General Liu was completely dead, and searched for the military order seal that had quietly taken away the room.

Half an hour later, someone found Liu Meng's body, and the general's mansion began to riot, and the military order seal had been lost, but it was impossible to order the army, and only the guards of the general's mansion who searched everywhere were left in the city. As soon as Ying Yi found a house, and saw that there was no one inside, he came to the firewood house, gathered a pile of firewood, and a trace of flame flashed, and the flames burned, and the wind in the north at night was very fierce, and the wind helped the fire, and in a moment, the sky above the city was bright. The soldiers in the city did not receive the order, and there was no time to care about anything else at this time, so it was urgent to extinguish the fire at the moment, and they rose up one after another to find a water source. Keichi looked at it again and walked towards the city gate.

The Tianhe army had long been hidden outside Linhe City, and seeing the fire in the city, Zhang Qing expressed the last trace of doubt with great admiration: "The eldest prince, it has become?" Zhao Ren saw that the number of people defending the city had decreased, and there was an extra colored flag in the corner of the city, which was the agreed code, and he no longer hesitated at the moment: "General Zhang attack!"

The sound of the horn sounded, and the soldiers in the city were rushing to the city gate to support, but they found that the city gate was silently opened, and a large number of Tianhe soldiers poured in. After killing a group of defenders, the whole city resounded with the sound of "Surrender or kill!" and "Surrender and kill!".

After Liu Meng was killed, the seal letter was lost again, everyone was immersed in the fear of the general's silent death, and now there is a large army to attack, although some people organized to resist, but it was a great disorder, and soon a ten-man commander began to lead the team to surrender, and a large number of people followed suit. In the face of one-sided slaughter, it is better to surrender early and save your life.

Zhang Qing's eyes widened, and he didn't believe it, but he actually won like this. looked at the extra man in black, revealing a trace of doubt, and looked at Zhao Ren, waiting for an explanation. Zhao Ren understood: "General Zhang, this is the guard sent by my father to protect me, this time I was sent to carry out the assassination mission, he is just one of them, that is, he assassinated Liu Meng, the commander of Linhe City, and it was he who set fire to the city and caused a riot, and he opened the city gate, so that we could recover Linhe City without casualties." ”

Looking at Ying Yi, who was not amazing, Zhang Qingda was amazed: "It is worthy of coming out of the Imperial Zhao Palace, and the means are extraordinary." For a guard with such unpredictable skills, Zhang Qing inexplicably had a little more awe for Zhao Wangfu, and even had more respect for Zhao Ren.

Shadow Yi was in a hurry to support the other shadow guards, and when he saw that the prince was accompanied by Zhang Fei, after the report was completed, he ran to other cities. Zhao Renxian asked Zhang Qing to take some of the captives back to the royal city to be used as coolies, and some of them were scattered and incorporated into the army. Again boosted morale, leaving a small number of sergeants to garrison Linhe City, and Zhang Qing led the imposing Tianhe army to attack the next city.
