December of the second year of the Zhao Dynasty

On the wall of Xiliangguan, 100,000 Xiliang troops took turns guarding this pass that stretched for hundreds of miles. The cold wind whistled out of nowhere, blowing past the rows of Xiliang troops standing neatly on the city wall, only to see that they were all in armor, and their faces were also covered with black iron masks, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes, always vigilant against the Xiongnu country hundreds of miles outside the city pass.

At this moment, there seemed to be a tremor from the earth, and Xiliangjun raised his eyes to look, and more and more figures gradually appeared in the gray hundred miles away, approaching at a rapid speed, and at a glance it was densely covered with smoke and dust.

"All the Xiliang Army is on first-level alert, waiting for orders."

A deputy commander of the city wall, pulling his throat to convey the order to the Xiliang army, the voice was high and loud, everyone performed their duties, did not panic at all, and looked at the Hun army rushing in front of the pass with sharp eyes, but pinched the weapon in his hand a little tighter, and was ready to sacrifice his life for the country.

Mu Yu'an, who was sitting in the Duhu Mansion, received the news from Xiliangguan, his frosty pretty face showed a hint of chill, and when he swaggered out of the mansion, he leaked a trace of imperceptible laughter.

"Childe, they're here."

You Qingyun stood in front of the window of the room on the top floor of the attic, looking at the gray sky outside the window, listening to the cold wind that kept whistling by. When he heard Qin Qiang's voice behind him, he closed the window and turned around and walked to the wooden collapse of the carbon fire.

"Do you know who they are?"

Looking up at Qin Qiang calmly, he asked.

"Those who don't dare to get too close are all dressed in black and masked, but I can be sure that these four black-clothed people are all eight-rank masters."

"Well, when you take them, you'll know what kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods they are."

"What's going on over there in Xiliangguan?"

After You Qingyun finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the border pass again, and couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, if the Huns did not attack pretending to attack this time, but really invaded the border pass, it would be a tragic battle with rivers of blood and floating corpses.

After You Qingyun was worried for a moment, he emptied his mind and looked at Qianyinlou again, his clear eyes became a little sharper, there was only one thing in his heart tonight, and that was to clear the threat behind Sister Yu'an.

……

Qianyin Building

"Mu Yu'an is already in Xiliangguan, dozens of miles away, tonight, just one thing, bloody Duhu Mansion, find the account book and various military secrets of Duhu Mansion."

In a room, five people sat on both sides, and the owner of Su Lou sat in the main seat, looked at the few people in the room, and said in a deep voice.

"Su Lie, when will I do it, my time is precious."

The middle-aged man who spoke wore a mask, only showed a pair of sharp eyes and looked at Su Lie, and said casually, if Mu Yu'an was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it, this person was the eight-rank master wearing a golden mask outside the capital.

The three eight-rank masters sitting in other positions were also masked or wearing masks, and their wide black robes covered their entire bodies, each of them did not know each other, but they only gathered together when they acted, and they hid themselves when the task was completed.

Tonight's Lethe City was exceptionally cold, the darkness engulfed the whole city, only a few scattered houses were lit up, the cold wind was biting, and no one stayed in the streets of the city.

Su Lie and the other four eighth-rank masters reintegrated into the night, and there were a hundred sixth- and seventh-grade subordinates, just like bloodthirsty night wolves, heading towards the Duhu Mansion.

A moment later, the group of people surrounded the entire Metropolitan Protectorate at an extremely fast speed.

Among the five eight ranks, there was also a woman with a bewitching posture who bowed her head slightly, and then turned to look at the masked man in the Imperial Protector's Mansion, her face was cold, and her eyes were cold: "Li Jian." ”

The masked man was shocked, and his originally lowered head quickly raised his head after hearing her call, and his eyes met with it.

She slowly bent down, pinched the silk scarf on the masked man's face with her white and clean fingers, and pulled it off with a little force.

Li Jiansheng had a wide face and a high forehead, and there was a one-foot-long scar on his jaw that spread all the way to his neck. His whole face has been smoothed by the wind and sand of the frontier because he has been guarding the border for many years, showing the vicissitudes of life, and when the corners of his eyes are gathered, and when his expression is tense, he looks particularly fierce and terrifying.

The woman half-crouched down and looked at the middle-aged sergeant: "Do you know that what you have done tonight will put the entire border city in danger?" If the Huns invaded Xiliangguan, after the city was broken, the people of Lechuan City would shed a river of blood. ”

Li Jian struggled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said to the woman's deep voice: "People don't die for themselves." ”

The girl sneered: "Very good, Li Jian, after this matter is over, I will give you credit." Do you need to determine whether the military planes of the Metropolitan Protectorate are hidden in the Qing Palace? ”

Li Jian's face froze, and he said categorically: "I have already arranged everything." Today's Metropolitan Protectorate is just an ordinary handsome residence, so rest assured. ”

The woman moved gently, as if the beauty of the world followed her, and her every move was full of grace and beauty. It's just that such a beautiful woman has a blue face at the moment, without any gentleness on weekdays.

Her eyes tightened, and she said to Li Jian again: "Have you personally confirmed it?" How did Mu Yu'an get the account book, and where is the account book? ”

Li Jiansi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and looked at her.

"I don't know how Mu Yu'an got the account book, but I'm sure! The ledger is in the secret room of this mansion, but the exact location is unknown. ”

After hearing this, the woman didn't say anything more to him, turned her head and glanced at Su Lie, saying that she could enter the Duhu Mansion, and they were also afraid that Mu Yu'an would set up an ambush in the mansion.

So he personally stepped forward to call Li Jian out of the mansion first, and repeatedly confirmed that he dared to enter the mansion.

Li Jian pushed open the door of the Mu Mansion, and a group of black-clothed people walked into the mansion.

Walking into the courtyard and going inside, there is a courtyard called Qingluju, which is Mu Yu'an's residence, Su Lie led a pair of people into the room, in order to find the account book, they searched all the corners of the room but did not find it.

At this moment, a subordinate touched a mechanism, and the wall suddenly moved a door, and Su Lie leaned over and walked inside, the secret room was full of large and small wooden boxes, full of dazzling colors, piled up like a hill.

Li Jian also followed, and when he looked at it, the mood that had just calmed down fluctuated again.

This secret room was full of sunken wooden boxes containing all kinds of military supplies, but when they opened the lid of the wooden box, they found that it was empty, and there was nothing.

The woman slowly walked into the secret room, walked to Li Jian's side, and asked in a cold voice, "This is what you said..." Military Secrets? Where is the ledger? ”

Li Jian's face was pale and dumbfounded. He wanted to open his mouth to explain something, but found that he was being used by Mu Yu'an, and after thinking about it further, his face suddenly turned pale and trembling.

Su Lie also came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly ordered someone to exit the room and exit the Duhu Mansion.

He immediately ordered his subordinates who were already waiting around the house with torches: "Set fire!" ”

Many of the men who received the order immediately threw their torches into the high wall and quickly left where they had been standing.

Liquor and sulfur were sprinkled on all the houses of the prefecture.

The torches were swept into the wall, and with the help of the east wind, a raging fire was ignited.

I saw the sea of fire burning on the side wall flowing all over the sky, and the crazy waves of fire were one after another, as if they wanted to swallow the sky.

The eaves and roofs of the mansion were stained with fire, and they burned rapidly, and the tongues of fire curled and rolled, and they bubbled straight out of the door of the mansion like a whirlwind.

The woods next to the Togo Mansion soon felt the scorching heat rushing from within the walls. The people hiding in the depths of the forest took a few steps back in fright.

The lookout soldiers who were always paying attention to the movement outside the gate in front of the city wall were running here at this moment, and when they saw the deputy commander Qian Hui, they immediately knelt down and bowed: "General Qian!" The Huns on the outskirts of the city camped on the spot, as if they had no intention of attacking! ”

As soon as the words fell, Qian Hui slowly narrowed his eyes.

On the same day, Mu Yu'an sent a message, asking them to guard the pass with peace of mind, and allocated 10,000 Xiliang troops to go to the Duhu Mansion, in order not to let Su Lie and them notice that they deliberately did not ambush people in the Duhu Mansion.

Funai

"Kill all these people, go quickly, Mu Yu'an is coming back soon."

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground came from far and near, as if stepping on the hearts of all the black-clothed people in the mansion.

"Have you found what you're looking for in my Metropolitan Protectorate?"

When many black-clothed people heard the sound, they looked up, only to see Mu Yu'an in front of the mansion, sitting on a horse and looking at them in the courtyard, and behind them were all the black and oppressive Xiliang Army.

"Is that you? The eight-rank master outside the capital. ”

When Mu Yu'an's eyes swept over everyone, he saw the man in the golden mask at a glance, and secretly thought in his heart that this matter was so widely implicated.

But it doesn't matter anymore, if you catch and interrogate, you will know everything.

"Everyone, find a way to break through!"

Su Lie's muffled voice came from the masked on his face.

As soon as the words fell, the black-armored Xiliang Army was standing all around the palace wall, and the strong crossbow in their hands was the kind of lethal crossbow that besieged You Qingyun and them in the hunting ground.

"You can come as you want, and leave as you want?"

Mu Yu'an shouted angrily, waved his hand and ordered the Xiliang army to finish firing five times in a row, and the bewitching woman was hit by a crossbow arrow in her leg.

Taking advantage of the pause in the crossbow arrows, Su Lie and the five of them quickly jumped towards the nearest mansion wall on the right, and when he raised his eyes to look, his heart was like ashes.

The area around the Duhu Mansion was full of black pressure, all of them were Xiliang Army, and each of them was equipped with a bow and crossbow.

"Master Su, do you need me to give you a ladder? If the five of you dare to resist, my 10,000 Xiliang army will not be spared. ”

Mu Yu'an did not dismount, 10,000 Xiliang troops, even if there were ten, twenty eight-rank soldiers could easily surround and kill, not to mention the elite division.

"Don't resist, the above will save us."

After Su Lie finished speaking, he jumped back to the palace wall, said to the rest of the people, and let more than a dozen Xiliang sergeants come in and put on the shackles.
