East of Lingyang City, the camp of the Guards.

This vast camp area is the core of the southern border of Lingyang and the garrison of Dayan, and there are 25,000 city guards and 5,000 cavalry, which can be called a strong force.

After nightfall, the camp was much quieter, most of the soldiers entered the barracks early to rest, only the soldiers in charge of the guard patrolled back and forth in the barracks, behind the camp wall erected a high arrow tower, a few elite archers stood on it with bows and arrows, with the light of torches vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

In the past few days, Lingyang City has not been very peaceful, the guard battalion has raised the level of alert, and ordinary people dare not approach at all, otherwise they will have nowhere to cry out if they are shot.

But at this moment, two hundred paces away from the barracks gate, there were hundreds of armored samurai swordsmen standing in a solemn formation, and everyone's eyes were focused on the three old men in front of them.

The gray-robed old man in the lead had a clear and gentle face, and he looked like he was just an ordinary scholar, but he stood proudly with his own majestic bearing, and his momentum was not at all under the two companions beside him.

Xu Jingye, the current city guard of Lingyang City, the great Confucian of the dynasty!

They had been waiting here for almost an hour, and seeing that there was no movement in the city, the gray-robed old man on the right, Xie Ling, couldn't help but say: "Why hasn't there been any news yet, could it be that Yun Boy has missed? If he can't kill Shangguan Wuya, then we will be in big trouble!"

Ouyang Changtian, the black-robed old man on the left, glanced at him and said lightly: "What are you panicking about! Since Qin Yun dares to take over this matter, he must be sure of it, and even if he can't kill Shangguan Wuya." We must also seize the garrison camp according to the plan, and we have no way to retreat!"

Having said that, Ouyang Changtian didn't have much confidence in Qin Yun's heart whether he could succeed, after all, Shangguan Wuya had been famous for a long time and was powerful, and it was so easy to kill him.

Xie Ling swallowed his saliva and didn't say anything more.

Instead, Xu Jingye slowly spoke: "I believe in Qin Yun Xiaoyou!"

Boom!

His voice had just fallen. Suddenly, a bright flame of light burst out from the sky above the center of the city, which was extremely eye-catching!

"Great, Qin Yun has succeeded!"

Xie Ling was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't help but high-five and applaud loudly.

Ouyang Changtian was extremely shocked, he really didn't expect Qin Yun to be able to successfully kill Shangguan Wuya.

In his plan, as long as Qin Yun could hit Shangguan Wuya hard, it would already be an excellent result.

Now of course it's perfect!

Xu Jingye exhaled. With a look of excitement on his face, he shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

Led by the three of them, hundreds of samurai marched towards the garrison camp like a tide.

The soldiers on guard on the camp wall and the arrow tower immediately noticed their arrival, and one of the officers shouted: "Who is coming, who is attacking the camp of the guards, do you want to rebel?"

Xie Ling immediately broke out of the formation, took the lead in sweeping to the front of the gate, and shouted loudly: "Shangguan Wuya collaborated with the Shangguan family to conspire against the enemy, and took over the guard camp under the order of Lord Xu Jingye, the guard of Lingyang City, and those who dared to stop it were guilty of rebellion." No mercy!"

The voice he roared with his true qi was comparable to thunder, and the entire guard camp could hear it clearly.

The officer was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Evil words confuse the people! How could Lord Shangguan collude with the enemy and plot rebellion? I think it is you who want to rebel, come and give it to me."

The last word "kill" has no exit. One of the samurai next to him suddenly burst into flames and slashed off his head with a sword!

This time, the Shui family, the Xie family, and the Ouyang family joined forces to fight back in a desperate situation, and seizing the camp of the guards was the top priority, how could there be no secret backhand arrangement, the power of the three families was not small, and there was naturally an internal response in the guards.

"Open the gates. Greetings to Lord Xu!"

Xu Jingye was ordered by the empire to guard Lingyang, and nominally had the power to command the guards, but Shangguan Wuya had firmly controlled the military power before, and he was too weak to interfere.

But now that Shangguan Wuya has been beheaded, he can take over the guard camp in full justification.

Xie Ling and Ouyang Changtian performed light skills and jumped onto the camp wall at the same time, assisting Nei Ying to kill the soldiers loyal to the Shangguan family, and the camp gate was quickly opened after a short period of chaos.

Hundreds of heavily armed family warriors immediately swarmed in to take over the vital positions!

The entire garrison was suddenly plunged into blood, and many officers who were loyal to Shangguan Wuya jumped out and tried to gather soldiers to kill them, but they were all mercilessly slaughtered.

"The Shangguan family intends to collude with Da Chu to sacrifice the city for glory, and Lord Xu Jingye has already obtained the evidence!"

"Shangguan Wuya has already beheaded the law, as long as the rebels wake up to the past, they will not be blamed!"

"The Great Chu Flying Tiger Army is hundreds of miles away, we must not let the traitor's conspiracy succeed!"

The attack of the three families came extremely suddenly and quickly, the guard battalion was completely defenseless, and Shangguan Wuyan, who was the backbone, was even more leaderless, plus the two deputy commanders supported Xu Jingye, so they quickly suppressed the sporadic resistance.

The most important thing is that the shouting of the family warriors has played a huge role, most of the soldiers of the guard are locals of Lingyang, they are willing to give their lives to defend their homeland, how can they die for the traitors?

Although most people still don't know the truth of the matter, they still have a minimum of awe and trust for Xu Jingye, who represents the authority of the empire, so resistance has become the choice of a few people.

In just half an hour, the rebellion in the guard camp was completely suppressed, dozens of officers of the Shangguan family were killed on the spot, and Xu Jingye was able to successfully control the 30,000 city guards.

Before the people's hearts were settled, the first thing he did was to promote the deputy commander sent by the empire to commander-in-chief, and at the same time send reliable elite forces to guard the city gates, and also dispatched a cavalry army to the Shangguan family mansion as soon as possible.

The assassination of Shangguan Wuya is the first step of the three families joining forces, taking over the Wei army camp is the second step, and the last step is undoubtedly to uproot the entire Shangguan family and sweep away the biggest internal trouble to resist the invasion of the Great Chu army!

After a short but rapid reorganization, a group of thousands of elite cavalry rushed out of the camp.

The roar of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the streets, and the burning torches formed a long crimson dragon that headed straight in the direction of the city, and the whole city trembled under the trampling of the iron horses!

In the city, Shangguan Mansion.

The mansion of the Shangguan family is located in the center of Lingyang City, which was originally just a small courtyard with two entrances in front and back, but later with the rise of the family, it has been continuously expanded to form a pattern that now covers an area of dozens of acres.

This is the core of the Shangguan family, the foundation of thousands of clansmen, and no one has been able to shake it for decades.

But tonight, everything was different, the three streets surrounding the Shangguan Mansion were all sealed off, the samurai armed with strong bows and crossbows occupied the vantage point of the high walls and treetops, and the swordsmen in black power suits roamed around, and there was a saber-rattling atmosphere in the air.

In the lobby of the inner courtyard of Shangguan Mansion, the important figures of the Shangguan family gathered together, they were both frightened and angry about what was happening outside, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Wuji.

For decades, Shangguan Wuji has always been the mainstay of the family, as long as he is there, the hearts of the people are there.

Although the outside of the mansion was surrounded by people, Shangguan Wuji was as calm and calm as usual, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea in a hurry, and sneered: "I underestimated some people, it seems that our affairs have been exposed, so the only way to do it is to do it in advance!"

The people who can stand here are all the core high-level people in the family, and they are naturally clear about what the Shangguan family wants to plot, and everyone is definitely in the same boat.

Seeing Shangguan Wuji so calm, most people breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that what they are doing is a big thing of rebellion and rebellion, and once they fail, they will definitely die without a place to bury!

Shangguan Aoyang said: "I don't know if there is an accident on the second uncle's side."

Shangguan Wuji glared at his son and said, "What can happen to your second uncle's town guard army camp?" I have already sent someone out to inform him, and when he mobilizes the army and comes back, he will naturally be able to kill all the rebels!"

"My lord, my lord's wrong!"

As soon as his words fell, a bloodied warrior staggered into the lobby, and fell in front of Shangguan Wuji, crying, "Lord Wuya was assassinated in Wanhua Tower!"

"What!?"

Shangguan Wuji was suddenly shocked, the teacup fell from his hand, and the hot tea spilled all over the ground.

His face turned purple, and he grabbed the other party's chest, pulled it over and asked viciously, "What's going on? Who killed my second brother!"

As the eldest brother, Shangguan Wuji knows Shangguan Wuji's strength best, how could a congenital high-level powerhouse be easily assassinated.

The others in the lobby were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe their ears either.

Shangguan Wuya is dead? How is this possible!

The samurai who came to report the news cried out: "My lord, Lord Wuya has been besieged by many masters, and our brother has not been able to save him even if he is desperate, I"

Suddenly, the grief on his face turned hideous, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

Shangguan Wuji instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but before he could react, a blue dagger silently stabbed him in the abdomen, piercing the true qi of the body protection and stabbing into the flesh and blood!

"You" Shangguan Wuji didn't expect that the other party was an assassin at all, and he was caught off guard and suddenly attacked.

Boom!

A figure swept to the two of them like lightning, and slapped its palm on the samurai's head.

The warrior was about to stab the entire dagger into Shangguan Wuji's body with more force, when his skull suddenly exploded, and red blood mixed with white brains splashed everywhere!
