Chapter 569: The Rebellion of the Great Liang, the Night of Killing
In Feng Zejun's mansion, at night, Concubine Qi in the main hall had a pretty look full of panic, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry.
Assassination!
Concubine Qi didn't expect that under the escort of the palace guards, the Iron Eagle Warriors, and the Iron Cavalry, there would be people who dared to assassinate her.
Recall the assassination of Prime Minister Zuo Chengkui...... Concubine Qi pinched the silky corners of her silk clothes with her slender hands, bit her red lips lightly, and gasped slightly.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, Concubine Qi hurriedly looked, and when she saw Bai Yan, who was dressed in black and holding a Qin sword, appeared at the gate of the main hall, Concubine Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly took two steps forward.
"Meet General Bai!"
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan's young cheeks, and felt that Bai Yan was so approachable, so that she felt safe.
This is something that has never been done even when we met in the Xianyang Palace.
Thinking back to Bai Yan leading the troops outside, killing countless enemies, and now that Bai Yan suddenly appeared here, Concubine Qi's heart that had been hanging was finally able to fall slowly because of Bai Yan's inner brought.
"Bai Yan, meet Concubine Qi!"
Bai Yan held Zhan Lu in his hand and bowed to Concubine Qi.
After the ceremony.
Bai Yan's eyes first glanced around, and when he was sure that there were no maids there, he was relieved.
"General Bai, who wants to assassinate Fu Chan?"
Concubine Qi couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Bai Yan's vigilant appearance, Concubine Qi couldn't help but be a little scared when she thought of the assassins in the mansion.
"In the mansion, Bai Yan has not yet found out, no matter whether there are assassins tonight, tomorrow I will ask Concubine Qi to replace all the maids, and none of them can be left."
Bai Yan said to Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi frowned slightly when she heard this, Bai Yan didn't know who was the assassin?
This......
"Feichan, according to the general's words!"
Concubine Qi thought about it, and finally looked at Bai Yan and nodded lightly.
Bai Yan's identity made Concubine Qi willing to believe it, after all, when Bai Yan led the troops to destroy the Wei State, Concubine Qi already knew that Bai Yan was a Qi person like her.
"Concubine Qi, please wait here!"
Bai Yan looked at Concubine Qi who was thinking and raised her hand to signal.
When Concubine Qi heard this, she nodded softly after coming back to her senses.
"General, please!"
Concubine Qi also raised her slender hand under Qi's suit, signaling, after looking at Bai Yan's hand, Concubine Qi slowly turned around and came to the main seat to kneel and sit down.
Bai Yan also came to the wooden table on the side at this time, knelt down, and raised his hand to put Zhan Lu on the wooden table in front of him.
The night was silent.
In the main hall, dozens of candle lights were lit, and with the breeze from the door, the candles on the wick shook slightly, and in the silent atmosphere, there were only Concubine Qi and Bai Yan at the moment.
"Fei Chan is in Xianyang, I heard that the general is from Qi!"
Concubine Qi glanced at the quiet surroundings, saw that there was no movement outside the main hall, looked at Bai Yan, and said softly.
Bai Yan heard Concubine Qi's words and nodded.
"Back to Concubine Qi, Bai Yan is indeed from the Qi country!"
Bai Yan looked at Concubine Qi and raised his hand to salute.
Seeing that Concubine Qi's beautiful eyes were full of joy, as if she was excited, as if she was happy, Bai Yan couldn't help but turn her head and look at the quiet door again.
Although the iron cavalry soldiers were already lurking in the city with bows and crossbows, the people on the other side were dead.
For the dead soldiers, it is not the first time that the iron cavalry soldiers have fought each other, in the past, when they were defeated, the iron cavalry soldiers fought with the dead soldiers of the Chu State, at that time, Bai Yu was still killed by those dead soldiers under the protection of so many iron cavalry, and finally almost died of the poison on the sword.
That time was not only unforgettable for Bai Yu and Bai Yan, but also unforgettable for all the iron cavalry soldiers.
Therefore, after learning that it was the dead soldiers of the Chu State, all the soldiers were holding back a breath of anger in their hearts, last time it was the iron cavalry who was ambushed by the dead soldiers, and this time, it was finally their turn to ambush the dead soldiers of the Chu State.
The old hatred, the old humiliation, are waiting to be returned to those dead.
But thinking of the number of dead soldiers that his uncle said in the bamboo slips, Bai Yan couldn't help but be a little worried.
"General!"
Concubine Qi's voice made Bai Yan look back at Concubine Qi.
"In the past, in Xianyang, the king once said that the general ......"
In Bai Yan's gaze, Concubine Qi thought about it and looked at Bai Yan curiously: "I was driven out of Qi Country by Tian Ding!" Is there such a thing? ”
This is a question that Concubine Qi has always held in her heart, Concubine Qi, who grew up in Qi Country since she was a child, knows Tian Ding's personality very well, so it is difficult for her to believe that a talented person like Bai Yan will actually be driven out of Qi Country by Tian Ding.
In the palace in the past, when she heard Ying Zheng's words, Concubine Qi was curious, but she didn't dare to ask more.
This is the reason why Concubine Qi has always been favored by Ying Zheng, Concubine Qi knows that Bai Yan has made great achievements in the Qin State and is Ying Zheng's confidant, so if Ying Zheng didn't take the initiative to tell her about Bai Yan, otherwise, there are some unknown things, even if she is curious, Concubine Qi will never ask more without permission.
Concubine Qi also knew that if she asked something that she shouldn't ask, not only would Ying Zheng not say it, but she would not like it.
And for now.
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan, in this quiet main hall, there were only two people, she and Bai Yan, so if there were some words, you could ask them privately alone.
"It's true!"
Bai Yan was a little surprised, and nodded with his hand.
However, Bai Yan also felt that Concubine Qi shouldn't know much, otherwise she wouldn't have asked him.
Inside the Great Liang City.
In the dark streets, two old men over half a hundred years old, holding a copper drum in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, were beating.
This is the famous watchman in later generations, but these two old men are not called watchmen at the moment, but wizards, and in a few places they are also called watchmen, and their duty is not to tell the time, but to exorcise evil spirits.
Whether it is Qin Chu, Zhao Weihan, or Qi Guo, there are such people.
The people follow the law of life at sunrise and sunset, and at night most people do not light oil lamps in their homes, and the people who are afraid of the dark hope that someone can dispel the fear in the night.
Therefore, this "husband" must also be performed by a sorcerer.
In the past, so many people died in Daliang City, so now in Daliang City, there are twenty or thirty of these old people who are on duty, and they are specially responsible for fighting at night.
However, just as they walked into an alley, while the two old men were still chatting, they suddenly saw a dense crowd of men in front of them around the corner, and those men were holding swords and torches.
Before the two old men could turn around and run away, the next moment they were pierced by a sharp sword and fell directly to the ground, and countless figures stepped over the bodies of the two old men.
Scenes like this one are happening in other places as well.
Some of the scholars walked in the darkness of the night and saw a group of men in black, but they were killed before they could escape.
At night.
The dense black-clothed people, holding torches, ran towards Feng Zejun's mansion in the night, whether it was the streets or alleys, some people who had not slept could see it from the window, and one after another black shadows ran through the window in an instant, one after another.
It's in a small alley not far from Feng Zejun's mansion.
Countless black shadows were running in the night, but the next moment, before these men in black could react, there was a sudden movement on both sides of the alley, and then countless black shadows also appeared in the courtyards on both sides of the alley.
There was the sound of bows and crossbows snapping, and the faint movement of arrows entering the body, and screams.
"Ahh
"There's an ambush!!"
In the blink of an eye, there were men in front and behind who were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and there was no movement, many men who were still alive with arrows shouted in pain, and the other black-clothed people looked startled, but the man in charge reacted immediately.
"The injured stay, and the rest of the people will kill the mansion, and kill Concubine Qi no matter what!"
The man at the head didn't know why there was an ambush, and he didn't know if it was a leak, but when he received the death order, he gave the order almost without the slightest hesitation.
When they came to Daliang City, everyone knew that only if Concubine Qi died, they would have a way to live, otherwise Concubine Qi would not die, and the Iron Eagle Ruishi, Iron Cavalry, and Palace Guards outside the city would enter the city and kill them.
"Kill!!"
After two rounds of arrows, seeing that the dead soldiers of Chu State would rush to Fengze Mansion even if they were desperate, all the iron cavalry soldiers drew their swords one after another, jumped out from both sides, and fought with the black-clothed men in the alley.
Many of the dead soldiers who were hit by the arrows were seriously injured, and in the face of the fierce iron knights, they basically couldn't stop it, and they were cut to the ground by Qin Jian one by one, and they became a corpse in the blink of an eye.
Because it was an ambush, there were no torches at all, and in the night, even the iron cavalry soldiers were difficult to kill for a while in the face of the dead soldiers who continued to stay and break off.
On the other side, on the wide street.
A group of black-clothed men with torches were running down the street with swords in hand, and the situation in the alleys appeared on the street again, whether it was the shops on both sides of the street, or in front and behind, suddenly a group of iron cavalry soldiers with bows and crossbows suddenly appeared.
"There's an ambush!"
"Kill!!"
The man at the head looked shocked, and in a hurry, he directly raised his sword and motioned everyone to go forward to kill.
"Kill!"
Wu Huai pulled out his sword and raised his sword to signal the soldiers to release their arrows.
As Wu Huai's words fell, in an instant, dozens of arrows were shot at those dead soldiers of the Chu State in the night, but as the dead soldiers on the periphery were shot, the rest of the dead soldiers threw the torches in their hands one after another.
Even if the soldiers did not dodge or dodge, they still instinctively turned their heads to prevent their eyes from being burned, which also affected the next wave of arrows, and in this short moment, those dead soldiers of the Chu State had all been killed very close.
Behind the Iron Cavalry.
Wu Huai, who was holding the Qin sword, looked at the men who had already rushed over, and in his mind, he recalled that when he was in the army, he saw countless iron cavalry soldiers die that night.
At this moment, the faces of the iron cavalry soldiers appeared in my mind.
"Formation!"
Wu Huai ordered.
As Wu Huai's words fell, rows of soldiers with bows and crossbows retreated, replaced by soldiers holding wooden shields, Changge stepped forward to face the swarming dead soldiers of the Chu State.
Changge kept stabbing those men back and forth, and it was visible to the naked eye that one by one men went up and back, blocking Changge who stabbed him in the chest, but before he could react, he was stabbed in the head by other Changge and fell to the ground tragically.
Many of the dead threw themselves forward with their bodies to clear the way for those behind, but to no avail.
The iron cavalry soldiers kept retreating, forming gaps full of long ges and sharp swords, and after the dead soldiers entered the gaps and were killed and fell to the ground, once the dead soldiers did not follow behind, the gaps would be filled back in an instant.
And the dead soldiers of the Chu State also repeated the old trick again, picked up the torches on the ground, and threw them at the iron cavalry soldiers in the back again, again and again, as the iron cavalry soldiers were affected, in an instant, there were dead soldiers who seized the opportunity, rolled over, came to the feet, and stabbed a sword into the abdomen of the iron cavalry soldiers.
Once a gap is opened, everything behind it is affected.
In the face of the swarming dead soldiers, with his martial arts and the ruthlessness of fighting, Wu Huai, who was ordered by karma to protect Bai Yan, did not care whether the swords of those dead soldiers were poisonous, looked at the chaotic defensive formation, held a sword, and among the soldiers, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed a dead soldier who slashed the iron cavalry soldiers, and slashed down with all his strength.
The force was so fierce that the bloody blood was going to be cut off in half, along with the head.
Wu Huai wiped the blood on his face, and once again rushed forward towards the dead soldier in front of him, his eyes were full of fierceness on his undulating face.
Other iron cavalry soldiers also followed Wu Huai, and they all fought together with the dead soldiers of the Chu State.
Feng Ze Province.
Outside the mansion, a famous iron eagle Ruishi looked at the dark night in the distance, and suddenly heard a faint movement in the distance, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, and quietly pulled out the Qin sword in his hand, and the bow and crossbow were also quietly wound up at this time, aiming ahead.
The leader stared ahead, took a torch, stepped forward, and threw the torch on the prepared bonfire, which was lit along with the black liquid and wood, and in an instant, a huge fire illuminated all around.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, under the huge firelight, whether it was the leader of the generals or the other Iron Eagle Warriors, they could clearly see dozens of men in black rushing towards the mansion.
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
Dozens of dead soldiers were also clearly discovered, so they had no scruples, and in the roar, they all rushed to the mansion quickly.
It's about to get close to the mansion.
However, the next moment, all the men saw that on the originally empty city wall of the mansion, rows of Iron Eagle sharps armed with bows and crossbows suddenly appeared, and then before they could react, at the front of the crowd, there were one man after another, who died tragically after arrows.
"Kill!"
Even the man who roared angrily was shot in the center of the eyebrow by an arrow in the roar and fell to the ground and died.
The other dead men stepped over his body and continued to kill towards the mansion.
The general in front of the mansion looked at this scene, and his cheeks in his thirties were full of fierce intent, and he reached out and drew his sword.
Inside the mansion.
Concubine Qi, who was chatting with Bai Yan, as time passed, seeing that the outside of the mansion was still quiet, without the slightest movement, there was a trace of doubt in her heart, whether it was Bai Yan's news that was not accurate.
"General......
Concubine Qi also wanted to get closer to Bai Yan to see if she could learn about Bai Yan's life experience, and this time she went to Qi Country to find an opportunity to visit, but before she spoke, she vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing, and this momentum, even if Concubine Qi had not been on the battlefield, could hear it a lot.
For a moment, the originally quiet atmosphere was broken, replaced by the mansion was full, and the sound of killing came from everywhere.
This made Concubine Qi, who was the princess of Qi since she was a child, and the princess of Qin behind her, couldn't help but panic again for a while, and her pretty face changed slightly.
“……”
When she saw Bai Yan kneeling behind the wooden table, her young cheeks still unfazed, Concubine Qi felt relieved and tried to calm herself down.
"Concubine Qi, it's not good! Concubine Qi!! ”
Outside the gate, the footsteps of the maid were heard in a hurry.
Bai Yan, who was originally quiet, suddenly picked up the saber on the table at this time, slowly came to the center of the main hall, and looked directly at the door.
"Concubine Qi! ...... outside the mansion"
Five or six maids, as well as the figures of the eunuchs, soon appeared in front of the door, but when they saw Bai Yan holding a sword in front of them, all the maids and eunuchs were dumbfounded.
As Concubine Qi's close attendants, these eunuchs and maids have all seen Bai Yan and have an impression.
And Bai Yan, the general who had been rumored to have been leading troops in Qufu, was suddenly here with Concubine Qi now, and for a while, the maids and eunuchs were all confused, full of confusion, and didn't know what was going on.
"Stand down! Those who dare to approach Concubine Qi will be killed! ”
Bai Yan slowly pulled out Zhan Lu, blocked in front of Concubine Qi, looked at the maids and eunuchs and warned.
And Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan's appearance, listened to the sound of killing outside the mansion, thought of what Bai Yan had said before, and hurriedly looked at those maids.
"Everyone, stand down!"
Concubine Qi also ordered in a light voice.
For a while, the maids and eunuchs glanced at each other, listening to the movement outside the mansion, their faces were full of panic, but they didn't dare to disobey Concubine Qi's orders, let alone Bai Yan.
However, at this time, more and more maids appeared outside the door, and the Iron Eagle Sharps, who were originally guarding the door, were about to speak, when they suddenly felt a pain in their necks, and the other two Iron Eagle Sharps saw that Concubine Qi's personal maids and a eunuch were assassins, and hurriedly drew their swords, but before they could step forward, they saw that there were other maids killed.
"Ah!!h
"Ahh
The other maids and eunuchs were all frightened by this scene, and screams rang out, and everyone ran wildly.
Even Concubine Qi in the main hall looked at that one in disbelief, the maid who had been her confidant for three years, and in an instant, Concubine Qi's beautiful eyes turned red.
"Hurry up and protect Concubine Qi!"
"Quick!"
The exclamation outside the courtyard, Bai Yan knew that the Iron Eagle Warrior would come over soon, but looking at the seven assassins, Bai Yan didn't expect that there were so many assassins in the mansion, and one of them was actually holding a sword, and at first glance he was a person who practiced martial arts.
In the midst of the chaos, seeing the four assassins guarding the gate, the other three rushed into the main hall, and Bai Yan, who was holding a sword, stood between Concubine Qi and those assassins.
In the face of the maid's full strength to bring the dagger, in the clouds, when fighting with Tou Mandan, Bai Yan, who had an enhanced sense of the sword, directly raised his sword and swung it, and split the dagger in an instant.
This scene also made the pupils of the assassin with the sword shrink among the three assassins.
Looking at the young man with a flat face, only those who practice swords know how long it takes to practice kendo hard to get a sword.
"In the mansion, how could such a kendo person suddenly appear!"
The man's expression was full of nervousness, but he had no choice now.
The four assassins behind him couldn't stop the Iron Eagle Ruishi for a long time, and the opportunity was only for a short moment, and when he glanced at the eunuch on the side, the man immediately took his sword and killed Bai Yan, and the other eunuch took the opportunity to bypass Bai Yan and wanted to assassinate Concubine Qi directly.
However, the eunuch hadn't taken a few steps, looking at Concubine Qi, who had lost her face, there was a crisp sound of swords colliding in her ears, and after less than a breath, the eunuch took a step and fell to the ground.
The sword-wielding man looked at this scene, turned his head to look at Bai Yan, and the next moment he was knocked back two steps by a blow from his hands and knees.
Feeling a dull pain in his chest, he looked at the young man in front of him, withdrew his gesture, and looked at him with straight eyes.
"Die!"
The man with the sword rushed towards Bai Yan with a hideous face, threatening to kill Bai Yan.
However, whether it was a slash or a stab, the man's two blows either missed, or were dodged, knowing that the man who met the kendo master already had a premonition that he would be more and less auspicious tonight, and before the man's third blow, in the blink of an eye, he was once again attacked by Bai Yan with his waist and kicked on the head.
The man who stumbled fell to the ground, dizzy, and before he woke up, he saw a Qin sword on his neck.
As the man gasped, he looked at the black-clothed young man who was blocking in front of Concubine Qi with horror, and then looked at the pale Concubine Qi behind the young man unwillingly.
If it weren't for the adults, they would definitely kill Concubine Qi at night!
How did Concubine Qi survive until now!!
Concubine Qi is placed in the mansion today, not only him, but also Concubine Qi's personal maid, there are enough opportunities.
There is also this young man, a man who has wandered the rivers and lakes for so many years in his life, and has never experienced such a desperate gap between him and the sword-wielding enemy in the way of the sword.
Who the hell is he???
"General! I didn't get hurt! ”
Concubine Qi bypassed the wooden table and hurriedly came to Bai Yan's side, looking at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes full of concern, looking at Bai Yan to see if he could be injured.
"Concubine Qi rest assured, Bai Yan is fine!"
Bai Yan turned sideways and said to Concubine Qi.
Compared with the enemy soldiers one after another on the battlefield, in the face of thousands of enemy troops, these assassinations in front of him are no threat to Bai Yan at all, not to mention the bloody battle with the Huns in the clouds, even when Bai Yan first attacked the city, it was ten thousand times more dangerous than this.
And with Bai Yan's words, the man who was detained looked up at Bai Yan with a shocked face.
"Escort down for interrogation, all servants, don't get close to Concubine Qi tonight!"
Bai Yan looked at Concubine Qi and finally felt relieved, turned his head to look at the assassin and the maid, and ordered.
When the Iron Eagle Warriors heard this, they gave up their orders one after another.
…………………………
At night.
In Changping Jun's mansion, laughter and laughter are still endless.
In the spacious main hall, many men of the scholar clan, and even some officials of the Qin State, were already drunk and red, drunkenly hugging the maid next to them, drinking with other people and enjoying themselves.
And Sima Xing knelt behind the wooden table, even though he had a lot of wine, he was toasted by so many people, and while he was teasing Changping Jun for being happy, Sima Xing was also drunk and his eyes were hazy.
And right outside the mansion gates.
The doorman who survived from the gate of Xicheng hurried to the outside of the mansion, his face was full of blood, and he told the servants in a panic that there were thieves who captured Xicheng, and now the iron eagles outside the city were all blocked outside the city.
However, after being brought into the mansion by the servants, the doorman breathed a sigh of relief, and saw more than twenty sword-wielding men in the courtyard, all looking at him.
"Woo~!"
The doorman who was covered in his mouth, before he could speak, was killed by the sword, and finally became a corpse that did not move, and was dragged away with his eyes open.
However, on the other side.
A Changping Jun's servant, in the night, running in Daliang City with a panicked face, when looking at the mansion in front of him, Hu Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes were full of panic, he couldn't take a break, and hurriedly ran towards the gate.
