At the same time that Yin Baishe forgot about life and death and successfully attacked and killed the general Yang Yunfan, and the Qilin Army began to expel the Xuanjia Legion in the city, more than 20 undercover agents of the "Ninth Class of the First Month" of the Beiya Reverse Scale Division also launched their own actions.

Among these people, there are horsemen, bookkeepers, cooks, personal soldiers standing guard, inconspicuous clerks, and junior officers of the imperial court. Each of them aimed at their long-time target and unleashed a sudden near-suicidal attack.

Due to the careful planning of the Reverse Scale Division for many years, the undercover agents are very deeply hidden, so under the sudden attack, almost everyone in the ninth class of junior high school succeeded. It's just that most of them can't get out safely like Yin Bai, so they can only choose to die with their goals.

"Loyal to my emperor!"

This deafening cry became the last words of the ninth class of junior high school.

The undercover agents are not just high-level generals like Yang Yunfan.

The more than 20 targets who were assassinated, in addition to a soldier squire, a soldier of the military department, two Governor's Sima, and two Xuanjia Army commanders, were more junior colonels and captains who were specifically responsible for heralding orders in the Xuanjia Legion and the Long Knife Legion.

Although these people are not high in rank and have little power, they are responsible for the liaison within the legion. Their unexpected death immediately plunged the two legions of Xuanjia and Longdao into a brief chaos, and to a large extent, they successfully hindered Xie Guang's various deployments, so that even the withdrawal of Xie Fu from the imperial capital could not be completed in time.

As Xie Guang's right-hand man, Sima joined the army and Di Xian, who was also on the assassination list of the ninth class of the junior high school.

Fortunately, when Di Xian's little countryman, a young scribe who had accompanied him for two years, suddenly rushed over with a blue and poisonous dagger, Di Xian showed his hidden martial arts, and with only a few face-to-face efforts, he completely subdued the assassin.

However, before Di Xian had time to interrogate the little scribe, he bit the poison sac hidden in his mouth and committed suicide directly.

It didn't take long for the news of the assassination time to break out within the Xuanjia Legion one after another, and the bad news that the Xuanjia Army's rain and fire battalions that had entered the city before were quickly forced back by the Qilin Legion also came back.

Xie Guang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this time, his contact with the troops and horses under his command was in a state of interruption, and once the Xuanjia army in the city was completely defeated and lost control of the Mingde Gate and Anhua Gate, he and the crown prince Li Bing would be completely trapped in the imperial capital. At that time, let alone shouting from the heights and forcing the palace, it is still unknown whether his corpse can remain intact.

Xie Guang immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered Di Xian to lead his own soldiers to escort him and Li Bing out of the city first, and avoid the camp of the Xuanjia Legion outside the city.

Fortunately, at this time, Xie Fu came to report that the whole mansion had already packed up and stopped, and he could leave immediately after waiting for Shangzhuguo to issue instructions.

Xie Guang no longer hesitated, waved his big hand, and led everyone out. Xie Fu's convoy and horse team broke out of the mansion gate and hurried through the deserted streets towards the nearest Mingde Gate.

However, what I didn't expect was that the cavalry squad that was running far ahead and was about to speed up into the city gate cave when they suddenly heard a bowstring sound of "whoosh" in mid-air, and a Xie Fu guard was immediately hit by an arrow and fell to his horse.

The cavalrymen were all shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the reins while looking up. I saw a red-clothed general standing on the tower of Mingde Gate, holding an iron-tired bow and a goose arrow on his back, majestically blocking their way.

You must know that at this time, the team was still more than 200 paces away from the city gate, which was basically beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows. However, the fact that the other party was able to directly hit the fast-moving cavalry with an arrow from such a distance shows how terrifying this bow is.

Xie Guang was secretly taken aback, and hurriedly stopped and hid further behind, lest he be targeted and killed by the archer on the opposite side of the city.

Di Xian, who was next to him, said, "Let the humble post go and see it first", and then urged the war horse and ran straight to the front of the team. After finally seeing the appearance of the archer, Di Xian secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and said with a calm smile: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Lord Murong who rode the tiger and leopard of the forbidden army." Brother Murong is fine. ”

Murong Xue also smiled slightly: "Master Di is polite. I am not only the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but I have just been appointed by His Majesty as the acting commander of the Qilin Army, temporarily leading the defense of the imperial capital. ”

"Oh? That's a great way to congratulate! Di Xian laughed dryly twice, and arched his hand: "Lord Murong is on the rise, and his official fortune is prosperous, so he really envy others." ”

"It's all thanks to Shangzhuguo and Lord Di, and this official can be promoted so quickly!" As she spoke, Murong Xue gently pulled out the iron bow and aimed directly at Di Xian: "Master Di, there is no need to say much nonsense, now that the Mingde Gate has returned to the hands of my Qilin Army, please return to the Shangzhu Mansion immediately and wait for Your Majesty's will!" ”

Di Xian silently weighed in his heart, whether he was sure that Murong Xue's arrow could be blocked, and his eyes rolled wildly, looking around. Until this time, he didn't see any shadow of a soldier here in Mingdemen, whether it was the Xuanjia Army or the Qilin Army, there was only Murong Xue alone.

Di Xian muttered to himself: This Xuanjia army is nowhere to be seen, most likely because the generals who led the team were killed, and the soldiers were leaderless, so they all slipped away. But why hasn't the Qilin Army seen half of it? Could it be that Murong Xue is bluffing?

He groaned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "What if we have to go out of the city?" ”

Murong Xue's arm with the bow didn't move slightly, as steady as a stone carving and iron casting: "Then you have to ask me about the sunset bow in my hand." ”

Di Xian's pupils contracted suddenly, and his face was as cold as frost, but he still didn't dare to act rashly after all.

In fact, Murong Xue was indeed bluffing as he expected. Previously, the Huozi Battalion of the Xuanjia Legion was ordered to occupy the Mingde Gate and control the Vermilion Bird Street, but the main general Yang Yunfan was killed, and his soldiers and horses were swept by the Qilin Army, collapsed and fled.

After the Qilin Legion won the first battle, it had to continue to expel the remnants of the Xuanjia Army, and on the other hand, it had to divide its troops to protect the various yamen offices and noble mansions of the imperial court, so the speed of advancing to the city gate was much slower than that of the Xuanjia Army that fled by seizing the road.

On the way to command the troops to clear the remnants of the enemy, Murong Xue suddenly received news that Xie Guang and the others were in the city at this time, and the whole mansion was currently preparing to go to Mingdemen and escape from the imperial capital.

The stakes were very high, Murong Xue didn't dare to delay in the slightest, he couldn't wait to gather the troops, so he had to tell the generals of the Qilin Army to gather the team as soon as possible, and then immediately go to the Mingde Gate to reinforce, while he led a few guards, all the way around the shortcut, and rushed to the nearest Mingde Gate to intercept Xie Guang.

At this moment, Murong Xue was guarding the tower of Mingde Gate with one person and one bow, and the guards were arranged by him to hide in the door hole, ready to drag the enemy with his flesh and blood at any time, and buy more time for the reinforcements behind.

Di Xian, who stopped in the distance, hesitated a little more, and the certainty of completely blocking Xie Guang's way increased by one point, Murong Xue could only try to bluff and drag the other party to avoid the situation he feared the most - the other party rushed out desperately.

Di Xian stared at Murong Xue in the city, and before he could react, Xie Guang's angry shout suddenly came from behind him: "What are you doing in a daze?" No matter what, give Ben Shuai a rush over! ”

Di Xian's body trembled when he heard this, and he immediately waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Rush me!" At the same time, the whole person flew backwards from the saddle, avoiding Murong Xue's lightning arrow.

When the dozen or so cavalrymen in the front row heard the order, they did not hesitate for a moment, and they raised their whips and urged their horses to rush, but unfortunately before they could speed up their horses, they only heard the sound of swishing in the air.

Murong Xue, who was standing firmly at the head of the city, seemed to be playing a trick, the sunset bow in his hand was shot with arrows, and in the blink of an eye, he shot all the dozen or so cavalrymen off the horse.

Among them, the cavalry who ran the farthest was only about thirty paces away.

Di Xian, who flew away from the fatal arrow, had just gained a foothold, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the corpses of his subordinates all over the ground, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Murong Xue's bow and arrow were aimed at him again.

"Master Di, I advise you to think twice, don't be a ghost who died unjustly!" Murong Xue scolded loudly, and her words were full of resolute confidence.

Seeing such a miraculous skill, including Di Xian, all the Xie Mansion soldiers did not dare to move for a while, and everyone was afraid that their abnormal behavior would attract Murong Xue's special attention, and then become the next target to be shot.

Just when the two sides once again fell into a brief stalemate, the footsteps of a large number of troops marching quickly were suddenly heard on both sides of the Mingde Gate, and in a few moments, thousands of soldiers and horses appeared in everyone's field of vision, swarming from two different directions.

Those who came from outside the city gate were the Xuanjia army who came here to meet Xie Guang, and those who came from inside the city were the Qilin army that rushed to Murong Xue's aid. The two forces of soldiers and horses marched opposite each other, and they happened to arrive here at the same time, sandwiching the Xie Fu convoy in front of the Mingde Gate in the middle.

The Xuanjia army, which had already poured into the city gate, stopped near the doorway, and did not dare to move forward easily; And Xie Guang and the others did not dare to get closer to the Xuanjia Army for the time being, fearing that under Murong Xue's hard work, they would be covered up by the Qilin Army behind them, causing heavy casualties.

Similarly, the Qilin Army, which had already approached the Xie Mansion team from the rear streets, did not act rashly. They were worried that once the battle began, Murong Xue at the head of the city would be besieged and killed by the Xuanjia army below, and there would be no way out.

For a moment, the two sides were interlocked, completely frozen on the spot, not knowing what to do next.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the Xie Mansion convoy, passed the layers of guards, and went straight to the Mingde Gate.

The man wore a nine-bead gilt crown on his head, a moon-white five-clawed gold dragon robe, and an eight-treasure jade belt representing the status of the prince around his waist. He raised his hand and pointed to the city, and said loudly: "Murong Xue, do you want to disobey the palace?" ”

Murong Xue was shocked, and hurriedly let go of the bowstring, and sighed at the same time: This is troublesome.
