Chapter 104: The Secret Guard at Night
The Eastern Capital City has gradually returned to its former calm, and the black-clothed dark guards that originally roamed the city have shrunk back into the darkness, as if everything has passed.
In a luxurious mansion in the inner city, two young men dressed in military attache armor armor sleeves are walking slowly along the path in the back garden. One has a weathered face and a sword at his waist, and the other is well-dressed, with large and small objects on his body, all revealing the confidence of the family, but he wears a long sword at his waist. The sword is a good sword, and it can be compared to the sword of the king of Xiping.
The man, who was obviously a child of the family, glanced at his companion beside him and said, "Who would have thought that we would be defeated like this." ”
The man with a frosty face sighed lightly: "Although His Royal Highness escaped from the Eastern Capital, but the Xiao family father and son control the Eastern Capital and the other control the Central Capital, except for the first line of the Northern Land where the Metropolitan Governor of Qin Zheng sits, where can he be accommodated? ”
The man from a family with a sword shook his head and said: "Today, Xiao Yu's Northwest Army has the Northwest and even the grassland to rely on, the Northeast Army raised by the herdsmen has the three northeastern states, our Beijing camp is based on the Eastern Capital, and the Dongjiang Grand Canal runs through the Jiangdu, and the Qin Zheng Army is stuck to the northern line, although there are 200,000 Heavenly Son Qin Army, it is already a lone army, and it is only a matter of time before it is defeated." ”
The man with a frosty face nodded, and after a silence, said, "Could it be ...... That's all we can watch?"
The man with the sword from a family looked up at the bright moon above his head, and suddenly smiled: "What can you do if you don't look at it?"
A resolute look flashed on the saber man's face, and he said in a low voice: "Now the only way for the Governor of Qin Zheng to retreat is to retreat to the Eastern Capital. ”
The man with the sword had a calm face, and said flatly: "Xiao Lie will not let Qin Zheng enter the capital." ”
The man with the saber said in a deep voice: "Now Xiao Lie is in control of the government, indiscriminately killing the loyal and good, and the loyal and righteous people have been suffering for a long time, just wait for the Qin Zheng Metropolitan Governor's Qin Wang's division to return to the eastern capital, and then welcome the army into the city, then the big thing can be accomplished." ”
The man with the Confucian sword on his waist looked at him with a smile on his face.
First there was the sound of machine springs, then the sound of buzzing arrows.
A black crossbow bolt pierced the night sky and shot at the two of them.
The man with the saber looked grim, the long knife at his waist was unsheathed, and a knife just slashed at the tip of the crossbow arrow, and then shook his wrist slightly, and then picked the crossbow arrow off.
A black-clad soldier strode out of the shadows, holding a terrifying giant crossbow in his hand.
The saber man who came out of the army with his eyes stayed on the crossbow in the hand of this armor soldier, he had been in the border army for many years, so he naturally knew that the huge power of this crossbow was comparable to the full strength of the sword cultivation of the Void Netherworld Realm.
The man with the sword no longer gave the guard a chance to shoot a second arrow, and walked with his sword, rubbing himself up.
The black-clad man threw away the huge crossbow in his hand, drew the long knife at his waist, and met the man with the saber.
At this moment, the man with the sword drew his sword from its sheath, but instead of meeting the enemy together, he stabbed it into the lower ribs of the man with the sword.
The man with the saber turned cold, and he snorted lightly, and the long knife in his hand brought out a silver light, sealing this insidious sneak attack.
The man with the sword smiled lightly, and the memory of Wang Sun in his hand turned into three sword shadows, and the finished glyph attacked the door of the man with the sword.
The man with the saber knew that he could not stay here for a long time, so he was full of anger, and he carried a sword from his companion and a knife from a black-clothed soldier, at a huge price, and his whole body was drenched in blood, regardless of his injuries, he jumped on the flower wall not far away, and wanted to flee out.
At this moment, a continuous humming sound sounded outside the wall again.
The man with the sword frowned, but didn't say anything more.
Moments later, four guards walked into the garden carrying the corpse of a man with crossbow bolts stuck in his body.
The secret guard with a face hidden under the black iron armor spoke: "According to the secret order of the Secret Guard Mansion, the rebellious party will be killed, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has made meritorious contributions to help quell the chaos, and this official will definitely report to the Metropolitan Governor to ask for credit for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Qi Yu put the long sword in his hand into the scabbard and said softly: "I'm tired."
――
Qin Zheng served as the governor of the eastern capital for ten years, whether it was the soldiers and horses of the five cities or the forbidden army, he had a lot of henchmen, and such things were staged everywhere in the eastern capital city tonight.
A four-rank lieutenant who was on duty at Huaxi Gate tonight was leaning against the city gate tower, holding a vermilion wine jug in his hand, drinking slowly.
After taking a sip of wine, he turned to look at his subordinates, who were patrolling the city walls, and his eyes widened suddenly.
A group of black-clad men climbed the walls of the city with ropes, and then raised their short crossbows and fired their brethren who were on patrol at night, falling like a farmer's scythe.
He turned around suddenly, and sure enough, there were black-clad soldiers climbing up to the city in several other directions.
The face of the fourth-rank lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the city gate suddenly turned pale, "It's the secret guard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crossbow arrow shot at the door in front of him, he dodged this crossbow arrow with his head, but his abdomen was pierced by another crossbow arrow, he staggered back, and another crossbow arrow was shot in front of him, and at the moment of life and death, he mentioned his lifelong cultivation, grabbed the arrow with one hand, and then jumped down from the city.
At this time, a tall black-armored secret guard climbed the city tower, carried a crossbow in one hand, and shot at the still falling captain.
Probably because the captain of the city guard should not die, he actually drew the saber at his waist and plunged it into the gap in the city wall, and his falling figure was slammed, and he was able to dodge this deadly crossbow arrow.
Just as he fell to the ground, thinking that he had been able to escape from the ascension, a secret guard dressed in brocade robes without armor stood and jumped up to the tower, holding a large bow more than a man high, bending the bow and setting an arrow, and an arrow entered the heart of the captain who defended the city, nailing him to the ground.
This secret guard patrol envoy who was qualified to wear a brocade robe and a sweeping autumn knife at his waist, after scanning a week, said in a cold voice: "No one is left, a stick of incense, if there is any mistake, it will be severely punished!"
――
Somehow, since nightfall, Zhang Wu, the squire of the military department, has been a little restless.
He stood in the study, drawing the long sword that had not been unsheathed for years, and drew a third of the blade, the cold light illuminating his cheeks.
Since Xiao Lie began to form the Beijing camp, the secretary of the military department was deprived of his official position, and his only remaining left servant was also panicked.
He walked to the uncovered window, looked at the bright moon outside the window, stroked the scabbard, and laughed at himself: "Xiao Lie can still kill all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"
A soft buzz sounded.
Zhang Wu didn't think much about it, the roof collapsed, and four secret guards fell from the sky, and the crossbow in their hands sprinkled a rain of arrows and shot at Zhang Wu.
Although Zhang Wu was not shocked, he suddenly pounced forward and flew out of the window.
At that moment, a long knife poked out of the window.
Zhang Wu's eyes widened, and the long sword in his hand tried in vain to block this extremely cruel sword.
Swords intersect, swords break.
Immediately afterwards, the long knife cut open Zhang Wu's chest, and the black-clothed armor man holding the knife increased his strength, rushed forward, and the long knife passed through his body, nailing Zhang Wu's body to the wall.
A secret guard in a brocade robe, surrounded by several black-clad armor soldiers, came to Zhang Wu's corpse, squatted down and carefully confirmed, got up and said, "Kill, don't leave a single one." ”
The black-clad warriors around him said yes, slowly backed back, and then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
A moment later, the terrible howls of women and children were heard in the entire Zhang Mansion.
――
In the Secret Guard Talisman, Sun Ligong sat on the White Tiger Hall, his eyes calm, "How much?"
The Commander of the Dark Guard below him replied respectfully, "There are thirty-two people in total, and twenty-eight have been roughly eliminated. There are four people left. ”
Sun Ligong nodded and asked, "Tricky?"
The Grand Commander of the Dark Guard nodded silently.
Sun Ligong waved his hand, "Leave it to Zhao Qing's internal guard." ”
The Grand Commander of the Dark Guard bowed respectfully, and then slowly retreated.
