Hongyun, who was in the palace, had already figured out everything, but unfortunately it was too late to understand at this time, because everything in Jinling City was irretrievable.

What's even worse is that the other forces in Buddhism still don't know that they are in the net, and they are still working hard to follow the established strategy, and they don't know that the net of the imperial court is already about to be tightened.

In the darkness, an arrow with a green flame suddenly swept over the palace, which was so eye-catching in the red firelight that it was enough for everyone in the city to see it.

It was at this moment that a new change suddenly took place.

In the streets and alleys that were originally chaotic, the people and horses arranged by the Buddhist Gate, as well as some other thieves who took advantage of the fire to rob, were still running around, driving the fleeing people to kill indiscriminately.

Suddenly, from some of the houses and shops that had been very quiet, groups of officers and soldiers appeared, and they rushed towards them.

These officers and soldiers were either in groups of thirty or fifty people, or in groups of hundreds, and slaughtered the monks and thieves who were completely chaotic with an extremely orderly and orderly attack. It was completely a one-sided crush, which was easier than when they were chasing and killing the people, and often after a face-to-face onslaught, these scattered rebels were quickly killed, and those who were lucky enough to survive had already fled into the wilderness, and then ran into the officers and soldiers who were killed on the other side.

Like a sickle, the army of officers and soldiers kept running back and forth in the barren and overgrown fields, harvesting the rebels who had already scattered and chaotic on their own with great efficiency, and rescuing more people from the rebels' swords.

In the face of the people's gratitude to Dade, these soldiers replied unifiedly: "We and other imperial soldiers and horses have the responsibility of guarding the land and defending the people. No matter who the troublemakers are, if they harm our people, they will be killed!"

This feeling of being suddenly rescued before death is a very touching good deed for every citizen who escaped death, which is enough for them to never forget today's great kindness in their lives, and it also makes them become dead to the government and the court at this moment.

Meanwhile, in the armory, a fierce battle has come to an end.

Under Nie Long's lead, the soldiers quickly turned into the warehouse from the rear, thus launching a sneak attack on the enemy who was stubbornly defending it.

However, guarding here is a group of more than 200 monks from Jiming Temple, and its combat strength is not under the elite of the southwest army under Nie Long. Even if they were attacked suddenly, they could respond quickly, and by taking advantage of the terrain in the warehouse, they could block all the attacks from the front and back, left and right.

They have even made a decision to set fire to the entire armory if the situation is not good, leaving no benefit to the officers and soldiers.

And the ensuing battle really came to a stalemate, and it seemed that no one could help anyone, until the green rocket suddenly swept across the night sky.

Suddenly, the number of men and horses storming the armory in all directions multiplied several times, and the main entrance suffered the most violent impact.

Before the monks and soldiers could react, in the roar, the two extremely strong doors were smashed and fell, and then countless soldiers rushed in like a flood that broke the embankment, and quickly swallowed and killed more than 100 people who resisted in the front yard.

And the speed of the soldiers and horses on this road is also amazingly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it completely spread into the entire warehouse, and they even have crossbow arrows on their bodies, all of them are amazingly skilled.

Wherever there was fire, sharp arrows were shot at them, thus killing the monks who tried to make a final struggle and wanted to burn down the armory.

As in the battles of the rest of the city, almost instantly, the battle for the armory was quickly reversed, and all two hundred monks were killed, with only a few fleeing from the chaos.

Looking at the whole city of Jinling, if you want to say where the battle is the first to distinguish the winner and loser, it is actually not in the palace, but in the official yamen.

The sudden launch of Xuan Xing and others seemed to be unexpected by everyone, but in fact, it was already under the arrangement of the imperial court.

Just when he slaughtered Wu Tieyi like a hungry tiger pounced, Lord Shilang, who had been sitting on the desk, his face changed because of it, suddenly felt that his body was sinking, and the person had fallen into a certain pit.

Wu Tieyi dreamed also

Unexpectedly, there was such a flip trap under his seat, which made him frightened and fall.

But it was much better to be punched to death by someone soon, and the bombardment that Xuan Xuan was determined to win was also empty, only to break the chair apart, and the person was stunned.

And at this moment, more changes reappeared, and suddenly a net fell from above, and while he was stunned, he was covered with the table in front of him.

The errand soldiers around him, as well as the crowd of people who were attacked and screaming and walking around, also rushed out of a dozen people, and at the same time grabbed one side of the net with a tacit understanding, and then quickly moved and trembled, and immediately trapped the mysteries who were about to get out of the net firmly in the net.

Immediately, more people came out of the people, and without hesitation, they killed the mysteries who were still struggling, but their movements were limited because the net was getting tighter and tighter. When they came to him, they did not hesitate to stab at them with weapons such as short knives in their hands.

At this time, Xuanxing had almost been controlled to stack on top of the table, and his body couldn't make too many evasive movements at all, so in the face of such a ruthless assassination, he could naturally only accept it all.

So, under the popping sound and screams of sharp knives into the flesh, this master of martial arts in the Jiming Temple was killed like this.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

There were also a few other monks who cooperated with him.

They had intended to stop the servants around them, but instead they were dragged and watched their leaders fall into the trap. What's worse is that they have to deal with not only those good soldiers, but also the people who came out of nowhere to kill.

It was supposed to be less to more, and they had to always guard against possible sneak attacks, so they only held out for a while, and then they all fell under all kinds of assassinations......

At this time, the disturbance outside was getting bigger and bigger, and it was obvious that the people of the Buddhist sect hiding in the crowd also began to create chaos.

But at this time, the people inside had no intention of going out to quell the chaos at all, but quickly helped out Wu Tieyi, who had fallen in the pit in embarrassment, protected him, and decisively retreated towards the backyard of the yamen.

Over there, an army of hundreds of people was already waiting, quickly escorting them and guarding the atrium of the yamen.

It was only at this time that Wu Tieyi recovered from his shock and muttered, "This is a plan that His Majesty the Emperor has arranged a long time ago?"

He, as a key part of the whole plan, was actually kept in the dark.
