As the morning sun gradually rose, a new day of battle began near the walls of Jianye City.

Like a tide, the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion rushed to the Jianye city wall without fear of death, and the arrow rain with a spell attack fell like raindrops, some hit the soldiers of the Pingbei General's Mansion under the city wall, and some fell among the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the city, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely from a long distance.

Maybe many soldiers know that there is a high probability that the winner will be decided today, so both sides are fighting each other desperately.

The war has reached such a fever pitch, and the soldiers on both sides are red-eyed, no matter why they are fighting, they are just thinking about killing each other, and the rest is not something that these soldiers in the fierce battle can hope for.

In short, only by killing the enemy in front of them, whether it is these soldiers of the forbidden army, or the soldiers of the Pingbei General's Mansion, can they have a future.

The east gate of Jianye City, because the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun asked to take the lead in feinting this city gate, saying that it was a feint, but once the battle started, the soldiers of the Pingbei General's Mansion could still storm the city wall without their lives, making the illusion of trying to take the east gate at all costs.

Therefore, at the beginning, the east gate of Jianye City was earth-shattering, and the attacks from various spells and spells collided together, and the huge explosion sound could be heard from a city away.

At this time, Shen Lingxi was in an ordinary bungalow of a civilian, leaning against the window and listening to the movement outside the city.

There are only three loyal dogs around her: Wangcai, Laifu, and Xiaoqiang.

Speaking of these three bodyguards and henchmen, Shen Lingxi was carefully selected from the guards of the Pingbei General's Mansion in Donghua County, after several years of getting along and envy, although these three people are the subordinates of Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, but their loyalty to Shen Lingxi has reached the point where they can forget their lives.

So when he escaped this time, Shen Lingxi only took the three of them, after all, it was still more dangerous for him to be in Jianye City in the first place, and his cultivation was still only at the level of the middle of the foundation building period, and people who followed Wangcai in the middle of the foundation building period were still somewhat useful from the perspective of safety.

Shen Lingxi has used the grace and power of these three people in the past few years, and he also understands that he has actually basically subdued the three of them, as long as the identity of his Fengguo secret guard is not revealed, as the identity of Yu Wenlong, the major general of the Pingbei General's Mansion, these three doglegs will be loyal to themselves.

"Major General, it seems that General Pingbei is sending people to storm the east gate of the city, but just now I went to investigate and found a strange phenomenon, that is, the soldiers of the forbidden army did not go to the east gate of the city to reinforce, but gathered a large number of people at the west gate of the city. ”

Wangcai was sent out by Shen Lingxi early in the morning to investigate the situation, one as a warning, and the other to investigate the further movements of the forbidden army.

Shen Lingxi's move was actually to protect his own safety, but in the eyes of Wangcai and others, Shen Lingxi still wanted to contribute some strength to General Pingbei's siege, so he was very serious about finding out the news.

"What, the forbidden army didn't go to the east gate of the city where the most fierce battle was gathered, but went to the west gate of the city. Did the forbidden army take the wrong medicine?"

Shen Lingxi was also very puzzled by the news brought back by Wangcai, it stands to reason that if the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion chose the east of the city for the breakthrough of today's battle, then the soldiers of the forbidden army should be lifeless to reinforce the east of the city to prevent the east gate of the city from being breached.

And now the forbidden army's actions are just the opposite, which makes people a little tormented.

"Why didn't the forbidden army go to the east gate of the city for reinforcements, but went to the west gate of the city! In this way, Wangcai, you go to the west gate of the city to see, what is the forbidden army doing there? Find out the situation, and then we will make the next step. ”

Of course, Shen Lingxi didn't know that Tuoba Hao, the housekeeper of the Pingbei General Mansion, had defected to Prime Minister Li Cheng, and all of this today was a trick arranged by the Prime Minister's Mansion, just to let this fake news make the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun suffer a big loss.

The ideal state that Shen Lingxi wants to achieve now is that the forbidden army and the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion will be defeated and wounded, and it is best that the casualties on both sides are very large, so that the Xuanwu Kingdom will not have the strength to attack the Feng Kingdom.

No matter who wins this war, no matter who sits on the throne of the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom in the future, he will not be able to launch an attack on Feng Kingdom again in a short period of time, so Shen Lingxi's action lurking next to Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, this time can be regarded as a perfect completion.

So now for Shen Lingxi, this war that consumes the strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom must continue, and one of the parties cannot be allowed to win easily, knowing that the forbidden army is strange, Shen Lingxi plans to help the general Tuoba Jun of Pingbei once.

Taking a step back, if the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun successfully captured Jianye City under his own internal and external cooperation, then the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun would become the new emperor of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and his own righteous son was the hero who helped Tuoba Jun ascend to the throne, and he must be more trusted and reused.

At that time, Shen Lingxi felt that a righteous son who was the most trusted by the general of Pingbei, Tuoba Jun, if he wanted to assassinate him, or help the Fengguo secret guard assassinate him, it would become very easy, at least the hope of success was very great.

Compared with letting Prime Minister Li Cheng defeat Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, and then monopolize the military and political power of Xuanwu State, at that time, Shen Lingxi not only failed to gain the trust of Prime Minister Li Cheng, but also lurked beside Pingbei General Tuoba Jun in the past few years.

At that time, although the Xuanwu Kingdom has suffered some losses, it will recuperate for a few years, and maybe it will have the strength to launch an attack on the Feng Kingdom again.

In order to weaken the strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom to the greatest extent, Shen Lingxi felt that the first thing was to not let Prime Minister Li Cheng win this war, but he also needed Prime Minister Li Cheng's forbidden army to consume the strength of the army of Pingbei General Tuoba Jun to the greatest extent.

This task seems to be a little difficult, but Shen Lingxi feels that his current position is not completely impossible to help the general of Pingbei Tuoba Jun defeat Prime Minister Li Cheng.

Soon, Wangcai inquired about the news and quickly ran back to report to Shen Lingxi.

"Young master, I don't know what the reason is at the west gate of the city, I saw that not only a large number of forbidden soldiers were gathered, but also a huge number of bows and arrows and crossbows prepared, as well as a large number of attack talismans, which were transported to the west gate of the city one by one. It's like preparing for a big battle. It's just strange that the west gate of the city is not attacked by the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion!"

Wangcai told Shen Lingxi everything he saw, just to let him make up his mind as soon as possible, although Wangcai was not a professional scout, but he still felt a little uneasy about the abnormal behavior of the forbidden army.

"How's the fight going here at the east gate of the city?"

Shen Lingxi did not make a decision directly, but asked about the situation at the east gate of the city again.

Wangcai showed a qualified dog leg at this time, although Shen Lingxi just asked him to investigate the situation of the West City Gate, but on the way back, he went to see the situation at the East Gate of the City by the way.

"Report to the young master, I went to see when I came back from the east gate of the city, it seems that the battle outside the city is not so fierce, maybe the army of the Pingbei General Mansion is withdrawing, and the forbidden army of the east gate of the city is also a little less, it seems to see that the army of the Pingbei General Mansion began to retreat, and the forbidden army they defended the east gate of the city also began to reinforce the west gate of the city. But the west gate of the city has not moved until now!"

Wangcai was very puzzled, today's battle had become extremely strange from the beginning.

Shen Lingxi held his head and thought about the problem, and finally suddenly thought that the body of Tuoba Hao, the housekeeper of the Pingbei General Mansion, was not found in the mess of the Pingbei General Mansion.

"You say, will the housekeeper Tuoba Hao be arrested by Prime Minister Li Cheng? And according to my relationship with the housekeeper Tuoba Hao, I don't think it is completely impossible for him to defect to Prime Minister Li Cheng. Although the subordinates of the Pingbei General's Mansion were all killed by the forbidden army, you have gone to see it and have not found the body of the housekeeper Tuoba Hao. So I have a bold conjecture, that is, the housekeeper Tuoba Hao has taken refuge in Prime Minister Li Chengcheng. ”

Shen Lingxi made this judgment based on the comprehensive situation in the past few days, especially the strange behavior of the forbidden army in Jianye City today.

"Young master, if it is true that the butler Tuoba Hao has taken refuge in Prime Minister Li Cheng, then maybe General Pingbei has already received the false news sent out by the housekeeper, that is to say, the abnormal behavior of the forbidden army today is prepared. Today, the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion is the west gate of the city, not the east gate of the city. And this is the trap that the forbidden army has laid for General Pingbei a long time ago!"

Wangcai came to this terrifying conclusion and frightened himself, although the three doglegs were Shen Lingxi's followers, but in the final analysis, they were still the people of the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, so at this moment, they were likely to suffer a big loss to the Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, and they were deceived by the housekeeper Tuoba Hao and sent the army into the trap arranged by the forbidden army.

Shen Lingxi also very much agrees with Wangcai's judgment, looking at the appearance of the forbidden army's full strength, I am afraid that if the forbidden army really succeeds, the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion may be lost, which is contrary to his own plan, and if Prime Minister Li Cheng defeats the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun in this battle, then the plan after that will be completely messed up.

"If Prime Minister Li Cheng can't be successful, he must find a way to notify his father-in-law. In this way, you two have the best skills, you two are the best, you go to the east gate of the city now, don't you say that most of the forbidden troops there have already reinforced the west gate of the city? Then the two of you will find a way to go out of the city from the east of the city, and then go to inform your father-in-law as soon as possible, so that the army can turn around, and launch a general attack on the east gate of the city for the first time, even if you can't break the city in one fell swoop, you will let Prime Minister Li Cheng's wishful thinking fail. Go ahead, time is running out. ”

Shen Lingxi only has Wangcai, Laifu, and Xiaoqiang around him. Fortunately, they are all fierce people who are one in a million, and it must be possible to escape from Jianye City.

"It's the young master, then the two of us will go. Xiaoqiang, you pay attention to protecting the safety of the young master. If we can successfully send the information to General Pingbei, then Laifu and I will quietly return to the city again when the battle at the east gate of the city is in full swing. ”

Wangcai is the eldest of the three, so this time he told Shen Lingxi his plan.

Shen Lingxi nodded in agreement with Wangcai's decision, and then Laifu and Wangcai said goodbye to Shen Lingxi again, and disappeared at the end of the street in a flash.

"Young master, there shouldn't be much of a problem with Wangcai and Laifu's skills and cultivation to get out of the city. It's just that I don't know if they're only going to report now, and the time is not in a hurry. Looking at the situation of the forbidden army at the West City Gate, it may be that the army of the General Mansion of Pingbei has been attacking the city from the West City Gate for a period of time. ”

Xiaoqiang is usually under the suppression of Wangcai, and rarely has the opportunity to say a few words to Shen Lingxi, but now he feels that the opportunity to perform has come, so he wants to gamble a little, in case he can help the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion delay a little time, and he can behave well in front of the young general, as long as he can succeed, then I believe that in the future, Pingbei General Tuoba Jun will become the emperor, and it is indispensable to give him Xiaoqiang the title of official and promotion.

Shen Lingxi looked at Xiao Qiang with some doubts, not knowing what he meant.

"There must be some unhurried time, but with tens of thousands of people fighting, even if the forbidden army has an ambush at the west gate of the city, it should not be able to eat the main force of the righteous father for a while. Xiaoqiang, what do you want to do?"

Shen Lingxi heard some meaning from Xiaoqiang's tone, but he couldn't be sure, so he asked directly.

Xiao Qiang saw that the young master saw his thoughts, so he simply said: "Young master, since Wangcai and Laifu can contribute to the Pingbei General's Mansion, my Xiaoqiang doesn't want to hide here and do nothing, I want to go to the west gate of the city to make some trouble for the forbidden army, but it really can't be When the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion attacks the city, I will go to remind them that there are traps." What do you think of the young master?"

Shen Lingxi looked at Xiao Qiang's yearning on his face, and he knew that it was very dangerous to do so, and he still had no hesitation, and felt that in this place where ordinary people lived, Prime Minister Li Cheng should not be able to take care of himself for a while, since Xiao Qiang wanted to help the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion, he could actually let him go.

For Shen Lingxi, although these three dogs have been with him for so long, they also have some emotions emotionally, but these people are enemies after all, and they will eventually give up, so their life and death are actually not so important to Shen Lingxi.

So for Xiaoqiang's request, Shen Lingxi nodded and agreed.

"Then since you want to do something for your father-in-law, then it's better to go, but you have to be careful to do what you can, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Be careful. ”

After instructing Xiao Qiang to pay attention to safety, Shen Lingxi saw Xiao Qiang disappear from sight.

And after leaving Shen Lingxi, Xiao Qiang rushed quickly in Jianye City, he had to hurry up, because it was obvious that in the direction of the west of the city, the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion had already blown the horn of attack, and he wanted to remind the army of the Pingbei General's Mansion as soon as possible that there was a trap for the forbidden army to ambush in the west of the city.
