Seven years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the east of the river, and Dengzhou City was only separated from the Japanese by a sea.

Dengzhou City is close to the sea, and it is really uncomfortable to have a cool breeze on this sullen summer night.

Dengzhou City Lord's Mansion, a position set up in the Great Zhou Dynasty only to meet the needs of his own children, is dispensable. I don't dare to say that it is unique, but it is not just the rich and noble or the children of the eunuchs who can receive this position, after all, such a blatant arrangement of such a position with no real power but real power is definitely not something that the feudal officials can have this treatment.

The city lord's mansion is far away from the prosperity of the city, living in the north of the city, the cliffs here are thousands, the whole East China Sea is unobstructed, looking up at the whole sea city to the south, bustling, the sea breeze, the sea is singing, with the slightest coolness, it is indeed a good place.

It's just that this place, which should have been quite comfortable, is now shrouded in a wave of slaughter.

In the courtyard in front of the city lord's mansion, a tall and beautiful woman, with waist-length hair, was wearing only a single dress, it seemed that she had just gotten out of bed, across the Zhangyu Shangshui Stone in the well courtyard, holding a sword in one hand, and facing the twelve white-clothed people with murderous faces on the opposite side.

"Ning Fat Jade, you and your brother were adopted by the Ye family when they were still infants, from young age to marriage, giving birth to children, and now in this Dengzhou City, even if the old man does not arrange everything, it also saves your family a lot of trouble."

It's ridiculous to say, the most mysterious Ye family organization in the Great Zhou, even the boss of the twelve horse pawns of the Ye family, who may not have seen some of the Ye family's dead soldiers, Shu Wuya, who ranked first according to the twelve earthly branches, looked at a cool and beautiful woman, this condensed jade who had grown up in front of them since childhood, and there was obvious reluctance in his questioning tone.

"The old man wants me to ask, why the hell are you here?"

It was also a close family at the beginning, but now it is going to meet each other, how can it not be uncomfortable?

The condensed jade face is like a peach blossom, and the evening breeze lifts up the skirt from time to time, and there is a different style under the night. Looking at these elders, the originally flustered state of mind became calm for no reason.

Ning Fat Jade must know the pawns of the horse, although she is only famous and has not met, she has followed her uncle since she was a child, and naturally meets these twelve people from time to time, but she never thought that they would be the pawns who have been famous in the world for a long time and have been the leader of the killer world for more than ten years.

The twelve of them have been taken by the head of the Ye family since they were children, and they have received training beyond ordinary people in the Ye family, not to mention anything else, as far as she knows, over the years, the twelve of them have left countless fatal wounds just because of the night family patriarch whose reputation is at two extremes.

Fortunately, most of them are still alive, but fortunately, these twelve people who have known each other since childhood but do not know their true identities are still standing in front of him.

Therefore, Ning Fat Jade absolutely believes in their ability.

When Ning Liyu and his younger brother were young, the Northwest Di tribe was provoked by the Gur Dynasty in the extreme west, intending to split the Great Zhou Dynasty and establish the Xirong regime, and then sent 50,000 troops to invade the east and plunder thirteen cities in one state.

The Ning Yu family is in the sand city of these thirteen cities.

No one expected that the prosperous and peaceful Great Zhou would encounter that kind of disaster, Ning Fat Yu's father died in the war, and Ning Fat Yu's mother took the two sisters and brothers to her aunt's house at that time, that is, the grandmother of the night three watches.

At that time, because of the secret assistance of the Gur Dynasty, Xirong was arrogant and sharp, and no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty could thwart his sharp momentum.

At that time, the night that had just entered the court from the rivers and lakes was also thinking that he could make some merits, blocking the mouths of a group of civil servants and officials in the court who were shouting all day long, "How can uneducated reckless men enter the court", Mao then recommended himself, made a military order, and led 10,000 soldiers who were several times weaker than the enemy army to march west.

It's not like the history books record, what is a strategy to win a thousand miles, what is a battle against the water, this battle to conquer the west that made the night famous and powerful in the world, just showed his courage far beyond ordinary people.

Because the reason why Yelin was able to put down the Xijon rebellion was because of these twelve pawns who could give their lives for him and the Ye family.

It was also the famous battle of the twelve horse pawns, when the average age of the twelve people was only thirteen or fourteen, and they traveled all the way west with light clothing. In order to avoid Xirong's investigation, twelve people braved death for three days and nights without sleep and death through the sea of sand where the rumored birds did not return and the old horses were difficult to return, went deep into the hinterland of Xirong, and assassinated the Xirong Emperor in the city of Shanhuan, the capital of Xirong, so that the Xirong group of dragons had no leader, and the subordinates were divided like a plate of scattered sand, and were wiped out in one fell swoop by the army led by nightfall.

Since then, the twelve young men have made a name for themselves in the Great Zhou, and since then, whenever they encounter difficult things, regardless of internal and external troubles, wherever they appear at night, there are these twelve people.

From the temple to the rivers and lakes, from the assassination to the frontier, one or two decades of hard work, the night has risen step by step from the guerrilla general of the five products to the only king with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the saint has specially set up a throne for him to defend the capital and give the capital Nanpan Mountain as a fief.

Or someone will say that the twelve horses of the night family are pawns, and the life talisman in the palace of the king of Hades.

As soon as Ning Yu thought of this, he looked at the twelve familiar and strange people in front of him, and felt amused by his own thoughts.

"For what?" The condensed jade smiled very charmingly, and with her mature charm under the moonlight, it was quite charming.

As if thinking about this question, Ning Fat Jade looked at the Earth Branch Rat who was called Shu Wuya by outsiders, "For what?" What do you say for? What do you say I'm for? The condensed jade asked three times in a row, looking like crazy.

"Home for me!"

Ning Yu gave her own answer, and ended the conversation.

The large courtyard became silent, but the croaking of the frogs in the pond was particularly harsh.

Shu Wuya is a subordinate, even if he has followed the night for decades, even if he knows the affairs of the Ye family very well, he is just a subordinate.

Don't ask about internal matters.

Shu Wuya understands.

As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, the more you know, the more your head is not your own.

"When the night came, it was my aunt who didn't dislike him, and didn't listen to the family's persuasion to marry the nightfall who didn't achieve anything! It was my Ning family who helped him get to where he is now! Without my Ning family, he would have died decades ago! But what about him? Shu Wuya, you have followed the night for so many years, don't you know? How did he do it? The last few words of the condensed jade were a little hoarse, as if crazy.

"The position has changed when it is stable, after my aunt passed away, he didn't care about my Ning family, ten years ago my Ning family changed, how did he do it? You know it better than I do, don't you? Without waiting for Shu Wuya to answer, Ning Fat Yu said to himself, "What did my Ning family make those horse thieves ruined, and what did he do at night?" ”

"Why did the old man let Yulu become a soldier in the Western Regions in the first place, have you ever thought about it?" Shu Wuya asked rhetorically, "Is it just that he can fight?" ”

"My Ning family has been wiped out, what can I do if I let my brother go over?" Ning Yu said angrily, "What did those horse thieves do when they first started making trouble? ”

The almost paranoid statement of the condensation jade made Shu Wuya not know how to take this conversation, this person became radical and drilled the tip of the horns, and he couldn't pull it back.

"It's not an excuse for you to collude with the thieves." A person came out behind Shu Wuya, with a strange and obvious cinnabar birthmark on his face, and said.

Ning Fat Jade recognized him, and when she was young, she often played around on the shoulders of this little uncle who was also a teenager when she was older, saying that his piece of cinnabar was like a horse.

Without him, the real identity of this person is the horse of the twelve pawns, the only one among the twelve people surnamed Ye Yuan.

Ning Fat Yu sneered, and the laughter was a little infiltrating in the middle of the night, "Collusion with thieves? It's a big hat. Tell me, how did I collude? I just told them about the whereabouts of the old guy, which I called collusion? ”

"But you know, the Assassin almost killed the prince!" It was still Ye Yuan who spoke, the real person in charge of the twelve horse pawns, and his words made the clotting jade dumbfounded.

Slowly walking to the front of the twelve horse pawns, Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Isn't everything the old man does for the Ye family? Don't talk about others, you can call for wind and rain in Dengzhou City, and Yulu can be the general of the Governor's Mansion in the Western Regions, isn't it all the prince's protection? The old man can't do everything himself, he can only do his best to protect the Ye family, and protect the intricate relationship between the side branches under the towering giant tree of the Ye family, have you taken it into consideration? If he helps the Japanese people, and I will have a loss in Da Zhou in the future, and blame it, where will this big family go? ”

Ye Yuan paused, and his tone was much sharper, "It's you, what have you done in the past few years really that others don't know?" Cultivating party henchmen on a large scale, making Dengzhou City a miasma, and really treating Dengzhou City as his own backyard? Don't even let the old man go? The prince knows very well in his heart, but he doesn't want to say anything about you, he always feels that he owes you too much because of the destruction of the Ning family, just turn a blind eye and pass it, as long as it doesn't make a big fuss, he will give it to you. But the game you set up is inevitably too shoddy. Condensed Fat Jade, don't forget, you are a big crime of colluding with foreign thieves to destroy my Great Zhou. ”

Ning Fat Jade was obviously stunned, and was about to speak again, but heard Ye Yuan continue: "He Ge has already told the third young master." ”

The condensed jade was completely stunned.

Yeyuan said slowly: "Do you remember that when the Japanese sent envoys and songs to come to our court to be a minister, Yu Ziban came out to visit the old man, and then went to meet whom?"

I don't think Ye Yuan had any intention of asking her to answer this question, so she continued: "He Ge forgets his worries and intersects with the third young master with his heart, but the deputy envoy Cao Kan also hooks up with you like a wolf. You think that no one knows about the conspiracy under the moon, but don't forget that he is a deputy envoy after all. ”

In the end, it was a word that broke the window paper, and the condensed jade was completely shocked and lost her soul.

"The prince asked me to bring a word." Ye Yuan threw down the last straw that crushed the camel, "If you don't have the first move, how can you make a full game; Ten pictures and eight or nine, square cut the dragon's head. ”

Ning Yu was stunned, in this game of chess, he lost the first move.

Shu Wuya, who has a soft temperament, still can't look down on the depressed appearance of the condensed jade, and answers: "After all, the old man still misses the old love, just let you mess around in Dengzhou City, I just hope you can live honestly." It's just that I never thought that you still insisted on going your own way and trying to overthrow me with the Japanese Emperor. The grasshopper shakes the tree, is it really when the insect eggs can turn into dragons when they encounter the wind? Fat jade, where do you come from? Do you have to bring your own affairs to the nature of national enmity? ”

Ning Fat Jade laughed, first chuckled, and then laughed slowly, just laughing out loud in this patio without the occasion, and only after a long time did he stop laughing, and let the tears of laughter hang in the corners of his eyes and not wipe them away, "Now it is the reason to say anything at night, I am afraid that this old man has long wanted to get rid of the last few people of our Ning family, save him a burden, and hinder his big things." Is it to solve me, and you are going to find Yulu? Arrange some charges for him indiscriminately, so that our sister and brother can be companions on the Huangquan Road? ”

Ye Yuan, who had nothing to do with the paranoid thoughts of the clotted jade, also had nothing to say, only sighed.

"Fat jade, it's useless to talk more, don't blame us people for being ruthless."

Shu Wuya, who spoke, had already put his hand backwards, and when he returned his hand, there was an extra scimitar.

Like the crescent moon in the sky, the forest is white.

Clotted Jade was amused by her own idea.

It turns out that the twelve pawns of the night family also have weapons.

Twelve scimitars, lined with moonlight, illuminated the main hall a little terrifyingly.

"Mom!"

Behind the screen of the main hall, a shadow suddenly burst out and rushed straight out, protecting the condensed jade behind him.

Everyone knows who she is.

Even if he has been standing on the wall, planning to watch the last journey of his sister who watched him grow up, he knows who it is just by listening to the voice.

It's a niece who is about the same age as himself, and the general is positive.

"You must not touch my mother, or I will kill you!"

These words came out of the mouth of a teenage girl, which made the twelve people on the other side a little surprised.

The twelve horse pawns have followed the night for more than 20 years, and the juniors of the Ye family have grown up watching them, and others will kill them when they say they will kill them, even if it is the side branch of the Ye family who has committed a serious crime.

But if they really let them do something to this child, even in front of this child, they are really a little difficult.

When he was in a dilemma, he listened to Ye San, who had been hiding in the shadows, say, "Uncle Qian'er, let's go."

Ye San on the wall suddenly spoke, but it also caused Ning Fat Jade to be stunned.

He's here?!

This younger brother, who grew up by his side, didn't greet him when he came, and he didn't have any feelings even if he said a word.

In an instant, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time broke the embankment.

She really watched him grow up little by little, from birth to when he came to Dengzhou City, the first time he spoke, she remembered, the first time he got into trouble, the first time he made the old man angry, she remembered, he said that he wanted to enter the library to learn the world's martial arts, she remembered, he waved out of the pavilion and lifted off the yellow leaves of the old tree in front of the pavilion, she remembered, his mother died, he vowed to enter the World Expo to give his mother a name, she also remembered.

She even remembered that she was jealous because he was so close to Ye Yao.

But now, I can't even see myself.

"Sankan, when did you come?" Ning Yu looked at the already vague figure on the wall through tears, "Why don't you come down to see me, you know me, this is not what I originally thought." ”

The words were also incoherent, and there was no longer the extreme look of stubbornness just now.

Ye Sangen didn't answer Ning Fat Jade's words, looking at the horse pawns who didn't move, he knew what they were thinking.

"Don't worry, I'll explain to the old man when I go back."

After speaking, Ye Sanchang turned around.

"Three watches..."

There was another hoarse shout, and the third watch of the night paused slightly.

"Three watches, it's really not what you think." The clotted jade cried even more.

Ye Sangen sneered, jumped off the wall, and disappeared.

I'm afraid that this time, I will cut my robe and break my righteousness with this sister.

Ye San thought even more.
