Blood is the eternal theme of war, and the battle in the imperial capital quickly attracted the attention of all parties, and countless patrol guards ran to the place where the battle was being held. Every house in the imperial capital has its doors and windows closed, trying to block the fighting from outside, but a thin door and window is obviously blocking these killers and troops who have killed a little crazy. The night was filled with screams of terror and the horrors of death.

Boom, the courtyard wall of a common man's house close to the mansion of Liu Jizheng, the head of the household department, suddenly collapsed, and dozens of officials appeared in this ordinary family under the escort of dozens of killers of the ground network. The man of the family hid in the corner with his wife and two children in his arms, and watched in horror as there was an inexplicable hole under the big tree in his courtyard. Before they could understand what had happened, four more souls had been added to the battle in the night.

"This group of damn brutes doesn't even let go of children!" A deputy brigade commander of the Dijing Corps of the Shenwu Army who rushed to support opened and closed the door with one foot, and the pungent smell of blood suddenly made the five-rank Feihe general's brows furrow, and when he found the four corpses on the ground, the deputy brigade commander's face suddenly became a little abnormal. In particular, the corpses of the two children on the ground who were only less than five years old suddenly made the deputy brigade commander run away, scolded loudly, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers under his command to seal off the surroundings tightly, and at the same time asked a soldier to report to Li Siye urgently.

"Dongchang does things, only punish the evil, if you block it, you will be killed!" With a bang, the door of the house of Liu Jizheng, the head of the household department, fell heavily to the ground, and one of the hundred households who rushed in first shouted loudly into the courtyard. In the panicked courtyard, the two guards saw the fan of the East Factory who rushed in, and immediately raised the knife in his hand to meet him. Fanzi rushed in and cut the two guards to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Give me a careful search. If anyone stands in the way, he will be killed!" An Tong was also covered in blood and rushed into Liu Jizheng's house. angrily yelled at the fans under his command, and the fans under his command immediately rushed in with a loud promise. Soon the sound of fighting came from the depths of the courtyard. Dongchang's reputation is notoriously stinky among the officials of the imperial capital, and he has not been improved in the slightest because he only punished the evil, although these guards who have taken care of the family and the nursing home have not been taken away, but they also know that they have participated in this rebellion, and there is little hope of survival.

"Your Excellency. No trace of the traitors was found inside. A hundred households covered in blood hurriedly found An Tong, who was anxiously waiting, and reported, An Tong hummed, and the hundred households hurriedly answered: "We have controlled the family of the traitor Liu Jizheng, and there are more than 100 people in the whole family, except for the ten people who resisted and were killed, none of the rest was able to escape. ”

"My lord, a person's footprints were found in the backyard, and according to the prisoner's account, a team of people picked them up from here at the beginning of the battle, and they don't know where they went. Another hundred households hurriedly came over to report to An Tong, and at this time, the soldiers under Li Siye also came to report.

"Escort everyone back to the prison in the East Factory to await disposal. In addition, he sent a letter to Gonggong Wei, saying that the traitor had been picked up. We are on our way to pursuit. Send me all the families of the traitors to prison, and I don't believe that these people can really abandon their families. An Tong's face became very ugly, he knew that this time it was an opportunity for Wei Zhongxian to give him meritorious service, but he was stunned and missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he wanted to find such a meritorious opportunity. These people fled, and An Tong didn't dare to hide the news, so he hurriedly led people to the courtyard.

Among the dilapidated courtyards, it is difficult to make people think that the back of the palatial Liu Mansion is such a dilapidated courtyard. Li Siye looked at the four corpses on the ground with a hideous face, An Tong was carefully examining the wounds, and hundreds of other soldiers and fans from Dongchang were carefully looking for something in the courtyard. It's just that those people are unusually hidden, and it is difficult for everyone to find even a footprint, let alone find that hidden secret passage.

"The blood is still warm, and the person does not die for long. The wounds were all caused by the Rapier, and they were all killed with one move, and the killers were all masters. An Tong's face was a little unnatural, he stood up and wiped the blood on his hands and said: "These four areas have been strictly blocked by us, it is impossible for them to escape from our blockade, there must be an unknown secret passage here." ”

"My lord has already found out, this family is all working in Liu's house, and it is rare to be a handyman in their backyard, and the woman is responsible for washing and cooking for their house. A fan hurriedly walked up and said to An Tong: "This courtyard has been here for decades, and this small courtyard has existed since the Liu Mansion was just built. ”

"Liu Jizheng's neighborhood used to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, and this mansion was built by the order of the emperor when his father was the secretary of the Ministry of War, could it be that Liu Jizheng already knew about today's events at that time?" An Tong's face showed a trace of doubt, and at the same time, he was secretly taken aback in his heart, if Liu Jizheng knew something about what was happening now at that time, thinking about An Tong's back was cold.

Li Siye didn't reply, but walked coldly into the center of this small courtyard, surrounded by soldiers and fans who were carefully searching, and the torches lit the courtyard as if it were daylight, but still couldn't find any clues, it seems that these people are masters. Li Siye slammed the ground with the Mo knife in his hand, and the heavy echo made Li Siye's not wrinkle.

"How the hell did these people get out of here? After Li Siye hit a few locations, he didn't find any possible locations, and Li Siye's brows couldn't help but frown. A breeze blew, the torches in the hands of the soldiers whirred, Li Siye stretched out his hand to feel the direction of some wind, his eyes looked at it casually, and his heart was heavy. Li Siye slowly walked in front of the thick tree in the courtyard, the Mo knife in his hand was heavily inserted into the ground, and he reached out to touch the giant tree. There is no difference. The rough bark of the tree is a little prickly even when Li Siye touches it.

"General. Could it be that the secret passage is here?" Li Siye's personal guard walked up with torches. After a careful search, he shook his head, apparently finding no clues. Li Siye pushed the big tree in front of him hard, but there was no gain. Li Siye frowned, every corner of the entire courtyard had been carefully searched, but no suspicious location was found. A heavy cloud rose in Li Siye's heart, didn't these people escape from here? All sides had been tightly sealed off by the army, and as long as they walked out of this door, they would definitely be stared at by at least twenty pairs of eyes, and it was impossible for them to escape? How did they disappear from this small courtyard?

"Don't you have anything else but to fight?" Just when Li Siye was puzzled, suddenly a cold reprimand sounded from the black night sky. The soldiers around him were suddenly startled, and shouted loudly What kind of person? When Li Siye heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly walked under the roof.

"The last general, Li Siye, visited Jing Dutong. Li Siye fell to the ground with a bow. The faces of the people around suddenly changed, and they all bowed, and An Tong also knelt on the ground next to Li Siye and didn't dare to raise his head. They have all heard of Jing Ke's name, although Jing Ke's position is not high, he is only Liu Fan's personal guard chief and Jin Lingwei's capital, but absolutely no one dares to underestimate Jing Ke's official position. In the Shenwu Army, Jing Ke is definitely the number two person well-deserved, although the personal guard chief is mostly served by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but no one dares to doubt Jing Ke's status in Liu Fan's heart.

"All the generals, the last general is derelict in his duties, let the enemy escape, please rule the crime. "Li Siye understands it very well. Jing Ke couldn't have cured him of his crimes, the reason why he said this was just to show an attitude. That's to take responsibility for yourself. Li Siye's words didn't matter as soon as he said this, but he scared the soul of An Tong who was standing on the side to the side, although he didn't know that Jing Ke Weishenme had such a big power, but seeing Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Gao, the two god-like characters, didn't even dare to take a breath in front of Jing Ke, he knew that Jing Ke was definitely not something he could provoke. Li Siye admitted his mistake, and An Tong naturally had to admit his mistake.

Jing Ke raised his hand to stop the two and said: "This matter is not your fault, they are extremely cunning, and they have existed in the imperial capital for thousands of years, every place here may be a secret passage for them to escape, we are all outsiders, naturally we can't compare to them, these land snakes, you get out of the way." ”

As soon as the two of them heard Jing Ke's words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, especially An Tong was greatly relieved, fortunately Jing Ke did not hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty, if Jing Ke wanted to hold him responsible, even if Wei Zhongxian protected him, it would not have the slightest effect. Wei Zhongxian didn't even dare to breathe in front of Jing Ke, even if Jing Ke didn't pursue this matter, even if Wei Zhongxian knew about it, Wei Zhongxian would not hold him responsible. The two hurriedly got out of the way, and Jing Ke walked to the side of the ancient tree in a flash, circled around the ancient tree, and walked to a location where he seemed to find something. Jing Ke walked a few more laps, and after making sure that the location was not wrong, he pulled out the Tai'a in his arms, and the bell clicked on the land under his feet, and a fine light flashed through the immovable giant tree and squeaked and turned.

"Let's go, they haven't fled far. Jing Ke withdrew the Tai'a in his hand, regardless of the surprised expressions on the faces of the two, and walked straight towards the tunnel. Jing Ke's feet had just stepped down, and suddenly there was a fierce shouting of killing in the palace, and there were shouts of killing of assassins everywhere.

The sound of fighting came from the direction of the palace and suddenly made everyone's faces change, and the palace was a holy place in everyone's hearts, especially in the current situation. Jing Ke hurriedly withdrew his feet, Li Siye's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Jing Ke: "General, the last general will bring people to support the palace." After saying that, Li Siye turned around and was about to leave, but was immediately stopped by Liu Fan.

"No, I want to see who dares to attack the palace at this time. Jing Ke waved his hand to stop Li Siye and An Tong and said, "Lord An, you continue to lead people to continue to pursue those traitors, remember that this is your chance, I will send a team of elite men and horses to support you." Li Siye, this time their attack on the palace is likely to be just a cover, you immediately return to the barracks to reorganize the army, guard the city gate, and must not let those enemies into the city. ”

"The last general will be ordered!" An Tong and Li Siye's faces changed, and Jing Ke disappeared in front of everyone without waiting for the two to reply. An Tong was also shocked by Jing Ke's words, and he didn't dare to have the slightest delay, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Li Siye and rushed into the cave. Jing Ke's words were clear. This was his only chance. Li Siye also left in a hurry with his army. Rush to your own barracks.

In the palace, after Liu Fan was injured, everything was handed over to Bai Qi to be responsible, Jing Ke took over all the security work of Liu Fan, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were even more inseparable, and Bai Qi also sent a large number of troops to protect Liu Fan. But with the sound of killing in the palace, everyone was still very nervous, because they all knew the horror of the ground net. Everyone's first reaction was almost to go towards the Heart Cultivation Hall where Liu Fan was, and this was indeed the most tragic place in the fierce battle.

"Kill me. Not one left!" Shi Julan's face was very ugly, Liu Fan didn't seem to be seriously injured, but there was always a strange liliang that made Liu Fan unable to wake up, even Shi Ling didn't have the slightest way. Jing Ke could only send someone to send a letter to the headquarters of the Dark Night Quicksand in Yangzhou, so that the Dark Night Quicksand sent an elite to immediately escort the few Wannian Zhu Guo to the imperial capital to treat Liu Fan. These killers suddenly appeared in the Chongming Palace, making Shi Julan, who was here, suddenly furious.

"Here, here are a few more people to support!" The Dragoon and Jin Wuwei were both masters, and this time the assassin rushed to kill the Chongming Palace, which can be described as a solid kick on the iron plate. Chongming Hall is the place where Liu Fan recuperates from his injuries, Jin Wuwei and the dragoons are standing in almost every corner, and there are a large number of sharp soldiers and masters of the assassination team who are deployed here. What's more, Shi Julan's seventy-two earth demons are also deployed here. The fight has entered the white heat from the beginning, and there are many killers. But in the hands of the Dragoons and Jin Wuwei, they can't get cheap enough.

"You immediately bring people to protect Zhang Rang, and you must not let anyone take Zhang Rang away. You, immediately take people to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and you must not let Emperor Xian have any accidents. Bai Qi quickly rushed to the outside of the Chongming Hall with his soldiers and horses, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers in the silver moonlight completely embellished the surroundings into daylight. Although there are many assassins in Chongming Palace, there are many masters in Chongming Palace, and it is almost impossible to rush in. Bai Qi saw the other party's intentions from the beginning, there was no possibility of assassinating Liu Fan in the palace at all, not to mention the injured Liu Fan, so the only purpose of assassinating Liu Fan was to Zhang Rang or the emperor, and to transfer the tiger away from the mountain This is their jihua.

"There are assassins, there are assassins, there are assassins!" The palace suddenly seemed to have become an assassin's nest, Bai Qi had just finished dispatching troops, and there were several palaces where the sound of fighting suddenly made Bai Qi's face very ugly. The palace was filled with the sounds of the Assassins being caught and screaming before they died.

"Sima Ao, I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses to put away the inner treasury of the palace for me, but I want to see what kind of calculations these people are making. Bai Qi looked at everyone with a gloomy face and said, Sima Ao, who followed Bai Qi, immediately left in a hurry with a few guards. Bai Qi ordered three or four generals, and soon the entire palace army moved in an orderly manner, and the gears of the war machine finally moved in an orderly manner.

In the depths of the palace, several black shadows continued to wander in the depths of the palace like a gust of wind, and the attention of all the guards had been drawn to the battles everywhere. The few guards looked around vigilantly, but these people were all masters among the masters, and it was impossible for these ordinary guards to detect them. Several black shadows soon came to a remote palace, knocked on the palace door a few times, and soon an old eunuch opened the door, several black shadows pulled down their veils, and the old eunuch looked around vigilantly and let a few people in.

The palace was full of dust, and it was clear that no one had cleaned it for a long time. Several men in black walked briskly inside, and soon everyone came to the main hall. The dim oil lamps in the huge palace made the surroundings look extremely strange, and hundreds of men in black suits sat here coldly, and the two or three people in the lead were meditating and resting there. Several black-clothed people immediately stepped forward to salute, and the leader was Zhang Ying, the commander of the Haojie Army that Zhang Wuji had been looking for.

"Dutong, I have inquired clearly, my father-in-law is still in Renshou Palace, but Renshou Palace has strengthened its vigilance, and it may be difficult for us to rush out to save my father-in-law now. A man in black reported to Zhang Ying and said: "The Chongming Hall where Liu Fan is located and the Heart Cultivation Hall where Emperor Xian is located are very heavily guarded, and our people can't kill them at all, Bai Qi has already dispatched troops to strengthen the garrison everywhere." ”

"When will the people from the ground net move?" asked Zhang Ying expressionlessly to the old eunuch who was following him.

"Qi Qi is unified, the people of the ground network should have already started to act, or it won't be long before the palace will be even more chaotic. The old eunuch's voice was soft, but his words were full of murder.

"Then let's move too, I'll see how much Zhang Wuji has to stop me. Zhang Ying stood up, patted the dirt on her body, and several guards behind her made a promise, and immediately disappeared into the night. (To be continued......)
