Chapter 231: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

When Li Yi and his party were chasing after the accomplices of the man in black, the soldiers on the city wall were a little confused.

Because Zheng Gang and the man in black concealed the true intention of this operation from everyone, they did not know that there were accomplices of the man in black in Urn City.

Just now, after they finished shooting a round of arrows, Zheng Gang ordered to stop. As a result, these soldiers of the Shouzhou City Guard Battalion had to watch with a blank expression, and a group of intact people suddenly appeared in the urn city and began to slaughter the remaining people with weapons in their hands.

However, their Zheng Commander seemed to have expected this, and stood on the city wall quietly watching the battle in the urn city.

But these unidentified guys ran into hard stubble next. They kicked down the iron plate as they besieged the survivors leaning against the inner gates.

Although the soldiers of the city guard camp did not know the identities of these people leaning against the edge of the city wall, they could be sure that the other party must be a veteran of the battlefield by looking at their determination and wisdom when they dodged the rain of arrows just now.

Especially the tall man among them, he actually pushed a galloping horse to the ground with his bare hands, and such a figure must be an unrivaled brave warrior on the battlefield.

Then they witnessed the slaughter of unidentified people by these men. As the soldiers of the city guard battalion of Shouzhou City, they are still a little different from the soldiers of the city guard battalion of ordinary cities.

Shouzhou City, as the capital of Huainan State, has a stronger combat power than the soldiers of the city guard battalion of the capital of the general vassal state.

The reason for this is that the soldiers of the Shouzhou City Guard Battalion are either retired soldiers of the Huainan Army or are about to join the reserve of the Huainan Army.

Their daily drills were carried out in accordance with the standards of the regular Huainan Army. Therefore, those veterans on the city wall couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Li Yi and the others fighting with those black-clothed accomplices.

These people have also gone to the northern border to fight with the steppe tribes several times, but they have never seen the steppe tribes appear to be truly defeated.

But today, this scene appeared in the urn city of Xuanwu Gate of Shouzhou City. Although the number of Li Yi and the men in black was not very large, their momentum shocked these veterans.

But looking at the comparison of the number of people on both sides, the number of people on Li Yi's side is not more than a dozen, among which Haiyin, Qi Ning and Jun Keyi did not make a move.

There were only thirteen or fourteen people who really made the shot, but the number of people on the opposite side was fifty or sixty. In the face of five or six times more people than himself, Li Yi's side not only did not run away, but faced it head-on, which fully shows that Li Yi's side has absolute confidence in his own strength.

And the next battle is full of this. In just a short moment, Li Yi's side killed the fifty or sixty people on the opposite side, and the number of people killed by the dozen or so of them had already exceeded forty.

"What a gang of murderers these guys are!" A veteran on the city wall squinted his eyes and carefully observed Li Yi and the others.

"These people are not only fierce, but their strength is also very strong, and it is estimated that they are much stronger than the most elite black-faced army, especially the kid who wields guns." One has a tattoo on his forehead

The middle-aged man with the word "robbery" nodded and said.

"Lao Zhu, I think the man who makes the double knife is the real master." Another middle-aged man with a rather majestic figure was lying on the city wall, looking at Yu Zhenlei below, who was wielding double knives to chase everyone in front of him, with a happy face, and said.

And this man also had a word tattooed on his forehead, but his word was one

At the same time, a scar on his face swept down from the tattoo to his right eye and to his nose. In the decree of the Dayu Dynasty, it is clearly stipulated that anyone who commits a serious crime must have a tattoo on his forehead, which is a punishment of the face.

There are four types of punishments: those who steal a lot of property will be tattooed

"Theft"; Whoever robs other people's property during the day and harms someone's life will have a tattoo

"Snatch"; Those who rob the government and kill the officials and officials of the court must be tattooed

"robbery"; And those who openly rebel will be tattooed

"Inverse". Therefore, anyone with a tattoo on his forehead was generally a death row prisoner or a felony in the Dayu Dynasty.

"Blind bear, you look at people, you always only look at whether the other party's strength is big enough, and you have to see people's martial arts, but Lao Zhu has to see it accurately." The veteran who spoke first said with a smile.

"Lao You, you are wrong, although Zhu Shishi's martial arts are stronger than mine, his vision may not be stronger than mine." The veteran of the city guard battalion, known as the blind bear, said with a grin.

"Today's events are quite strange, and there seems to be something wrong with that kid surnamed Zheng." The soldiers of the city guard battalion, known as Zhu Shi, stared at Zheng Gang, who was standing by the city wall in the distance, with an anxious look on his face, and said.

"What's wrong, didn't that kid say just now, Ye Qiutong and the Black Mask Army kidnapped the eldest prince Mu Qingyun and wanted to be unfavorable to the King of Huainan." The blind bear said disappreciatively.

"Brother Xiong, can you also believe the words of that kid surnamed Zheng?" The soldier surnamed You said with a puzzled expression.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I'm not sure if the black-faced army will plot against me, but it's certain whether Ye Qiutong will rebel against me." Although the strong man surnamed Xiong looks very rough, his mind is unusually delicate.

Otherwise, Xiong Guangyang would not have become the strongest water bandit in the upper and lower reaches of Huaishui.

"Brother Xiong, what you mean is that you knew from the beginning that Zheng Gang's kid was a false order from the Great Prince." The soldiers of the city guard battalion surnamed You couldn't help but be surprised.

"Don't look at the bear's usual grinning appearance, his heart is as thin as a hair." Zhu Shishi looked at the urn city below with a smile on his face and said with a smile.

Seeing the expression on Zhu Shishi's face, the soldiers of the city guard camp surnamed You immediately understood that this Zhu Shi also knew from the beginning that Zheng Gang had faked the order.

"Zhu Yaolei, since you and Xiong Guangyang, since you have long known about Zheng Gang's false order, why don't you stop it?" The soldiers of the city guard battalion surnamed You couldn't help but look at Zhu Yaolei and Xiong Guangyang angrily.

"What does this have to do with us, it is our duty to obey orders as soldiers, and besides, we didn't shoot arrows at His Royal Highness the Prince just now, we shot at the ground." Xiong Guangyang grinned with a playful smile on his face.

"But don't forget, more than a dozen of those killed by the rain of arrows were black-faced soldiers, and they were all your comrades-in-arms." The soldier surnamed You of the City Guard Battalion excitedly pointed to the black-faced army below who was covered with feathered arrows and fell to the ground.

"You Liming, you have to make it clear, our black-faced army is a batch of five years, and those guys who fell to the ground are not our comrades-in-arms, our comrades-in-arms are basically dead, and even those who are not dead are disabled." Zhu Yaoguang squinted at Yu Liming, his eyes filled with fierce killing intent.

This made Yu Liming feel as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"But no matter what, we can't just watch His Royal Highness the Prince of the World being killed by Zheng Gang!" Yu Liming's tone was full of worry and anxiety at this time.

Just as the three of them were arguing, the people around them cast suspicious glances at them, and even Zheng Gang and the man in black in the distance focused their eyes on them.

"Lao You, we have been serving together in this city guard camp for more than two years, and as a comrade, I have to make it clear to you that there are some things that we little people can't participate in." Zhu Yaoguang saw that the people around him were looking at him, he immediately hugged Yu Liming under his armpit, and then smiled and nodded to the people around him, and put on a posture that it was just a small problem on our side.

"What the hell do you mean?" When Zhu Yaolei said this, You Liming couldn't help frowning, he just wanted to save Mu Qingyun but didn't expect the reason behind Zheng Gang's actions.

"Can't you see it? Look who that guy in the black robe is! Xiong Guangyang pointed at the black-clothed man next to Zheng Gang with a look of hatred that iron could not become steel.

At first, You Liming really didn't care about the man in black, after all, there were so many soldiers in the city guard camp, and having an extra person by Zheng Gang's side would not attract too much attention.

But when Xiong Guangyang said this, You Liming couldn't help but carefully observe the man in black beside Zheng Gang.

It's good not to look at this, but after looking at it, You Liming couldn't help but gasp. If ordinary people really don't know the man in black, but Yu Liming, as a former Huainan army, once followed the army to Yue Kingdom to meet the concubine of the king of Huainan.

Because of this, he and the man in black had met once.

"Is that what he meant?" For a moment, Yu Liming felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, giving him goosebumps.

"There are some things that you can only do, but you must be said, you must know that the trouble comes from the mouth, brother, I am a living example." Zhu Yaolei said with a wry smile.

"But it doesn't make sense, that one doesn't have an heir!" Yu Liming still didn't dare to believe his guess.

"You know what, even if the one has no heirs, who says she can't support other generations? Besides, there are some things that don't have to be thought about, and sometimes some people will come up with a trick for their own benefit. Xiong Guangyang said with a smile, but there was a bit of bitterness in his whisper.

"Yes, the blind bear also has a deep understanding of this kind of thing." Zhu Yaolei added.

"But if the bastard surnamed Zheng really succeeds in killing Da Shizi today, we people will definitely be implicated, and when the time comes, under the wrath of the King of Huainan, I am afraid that all of our heads will not be able to be saved." Yu Liming couldn't help but shudder at the thought of his possible next outcome.

"What are you afraid of, the sky is falling, there is a tall man staring at this thing, it was planned by Zheng Gang's kid, we don't know anything, we are just carrying out the orders from above, what's wrong." Xiong Guangyang raised his eyebrows and looked at You Liming with a smirk.

"Besides, who said that this Zheng Gang would definitely succeed today, you see which of the dozen or so people below is not a master, there are them, as long as we are not archery, the rest of the people will definitely be completely killed by them." Zhu Yaolei patted You Liming's shoulder and said indifferently.

"Lao Zhu, you also said just now that all this must be based on the premise that we will no longer shoot arrows in the future, what if Zheng Gang's kid orders us to shoot arrows again?"

"Don't you see it, Lao You? Haven't the dozen or so people down there been chasing those assassins at this time? Xiong Guangyang pointed at Li Yi and the others and said.

"What does it have to do with whether we shoot an arrow or not?" You Liming still didn't understand what Xiong Guangyang meant.

"Are you stupid, those guys are chasing those assassins not only to hunt them down but also to protect themselves, as long as they are mixed with those assassins, Zheng Gang at the head of the city will not dare to order to shoot again." Xiong Guangyang gritted his teeth and slapped You Liming on the back of the head, and his appearance of hating iron but not steel made the people around him a little confused.

"You mean that the dozen or so people below want to make Zheng Gang in the city throw a rat trap? But what if Zheng Gang forcibly ordered archery regardless of the lives of these people? ”

"It's no wonder that the rest of your comrades are either promoted or retired, and you are the only one who has mixed into this city guard camp!" Zhu Yaolei rubbed his head helplessly.

"Those assassins were brought by the man in black at first glance, then they should all be the ones who are there, and now Zheng Gang has made up his mind to make a move against Da Shizi, this is to completely sever relations with Da Shizi, and then he will be the mortal enemy of Da Shizi and Erzi no matter what."

"And then?" You Liming still didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Yaolei's words.

"Since he has completely torn his face with the Great Prince, isn't he offending that one again by shooting a large number of assassins now, so that he offends all the people on both sides at once, do you think he can still mix in Huainan Kingdom?" Xiong Guangyang then explained to Yu Liming.

"It turns out that the prince is like this, but if the next dozen or so people kill most of the assassins, then Zheng Gang still doesn't want to order archery?" Yu Liming continued to ask.

"Are you stupid, it's been a while since we closed the Xuanwu Gate, if this Xuanwu Gate is not open for a long time, do you think Zhang Tong will not send someone to check, and when they find out that Zheng Gang is besieging and killing His Royal Highness, what do you think Zhang Tong will do?" Zhu Yaolei's face said with a playful smile.

"This ······" In an instant, You Liming understood the attention of Zhu Yaolei and Xiong Guangyang, their current method was to delay time, and when the commander of the city guard camp Zhang arrived, they would definitely take Zheng Gang down as soon as possible.

"But I don't believe that the assassins below can't kill them, Zheng Gang and the man in black won't send people to support them, and if Zheng Gang sends us down, we'll do better." Yu Liming thought of Zheng Gang again, and they were likely to send their own city guard battalion soldiers to assist those assassins to quickly solve the problem with Li Yi and the others.

"You can rest assured, Zheng Gang won't be so stupid, now His Royal Highness the Great Prince is in the urn city, but if the soldiers of the city guard camp go down and know the ins and outs of the matter, they will definitely counterattack Zheng Gang." Zhu Yaolei shook his head and said.

"You're saying they'll send others into Urn City soon?" Yu Liming couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
