Chapter 260: Killing in the Night (2nd Watch)
All the guards of the Praetorian Army were petrified at this moment, and they even suspected that the scene they had just seen was fake, and the captain who was originally talking and laughing with them, and planned to take them to visit the Qinglou after changing the guard, died so simply?
But soon, the silence at the city gate was broken, and the archers who were the first to react were roaring with almost all their might, and the feathered arrows in everyone's hands had already been set on the bowstring: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Release arrows! Alarm!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of archers let go of their hands, and the feathered arrows were driven by the tremendous force of the bowstring, and they shot out in unison.
But those few people shrouded in black clothes were really like ghosts in the night, they stepped extremely fast, always avoiding the feather arrows in the slightest, and when the sword light in their hands opened again, they were already in the crowd of the forbidden army.
Immediately, two arms holding knives flew into the sky.
"It's a cultivator! It's a cultivator!" someone shouted, "Alert quickly!"
But the black shadow followed him, and slashed into the back of the forbidden soldier who was running towards the city tower, and at once even his vertebrae were cut off, and he didn't even have time to let out a cry of pain, and he became a corpse.
All the forbidden troops gathered their formations and retreated backwards, if there was only one cultivator, they could still deal with it together, but obviously the cultivation of these people was not weak, and it could be seen that they had been specially trained, and they were quite lawful between advancing and retreating, and even cooperated with each other, with the strength of their ordinary soldiers of the forbidden army, they were really unable to match.
"Formation, formation!" someone roared.
But a few black-clothed men fought left and right in the chaotic crowd, and the forbidden army of the Tang Kingdom, which had not experienced war for many years, could not organize an effective defense in such a chaotic situation.
They can only be like a herd of trembling sheep, allowing a few vicious wolves to slaughter and bite at will.
And just when they were almost desperate, there was the sound of armor clashing on the road, and a group of 100 forbidden troops was running towards the city gate with neat steps.
"It's our brother!" The archers fired three arrows in a row, but they were all cut off directly by the man in black with a knife, and when he saw this detachment in despair, he was overjoyed and said loudly: "Defend the city gates! Reinforcements are coming! I'll send an alarm!"
His shout provoked a man in black, who was holding a long knife full of blood, and rushed towards him, the archer gritted his teeth, and turned his head while running, and the feather arrow was sent out again, but in this case, he naturally lost a few points of accuracy, and swept diagonally towards the shoulder of the man in black, and was cut off by him.
But the archers were not discouraged, he didn't send arrows to hurt the enemy, and the cultivators who cultivated like this were not something he could easily hurt alone, what he wanted now was just to stop the men in black for a moment and make time for himself, now that the team of the forbidden army had joined the battle group, no matter how powerful these men in black were, it would be difficult to deal with such a huge team of 100 people, and he only needed to sound the alarm......
He ran forward, and turned his arrows back for a while, until he had shot the feathered arrows in his quiver, and at last he came to the head of the city, his hands now twisted by the bowstring, but he felt no pain at all.
The castle tower is in front, closer, closer.
The joy of the archers grew stronger, but there was a sudden pain in his chest, and the edge of a long knife suddenly peeked out of his armor.
The man in black pulled the knife suddenly, and the long knife left his body, leaving a pool of blood on the ground with a wave of his hand.
The archers only felt that something hot was flowing out of his heart, and then he began to be cold, shivering, and his body continued to weaken, until he fell to his knees.
He lowered his head and saw that his brothers were already making the last resistance, but unfortunately it was still a battle of trapped beasts, the team of 100 people of the forbidden army was very strong, calm, and behaved in a uniform manner, and the array was meticulous, everyone was like a cog, and when they bit and rotated with each other, what they drove was a beast that made him unbelievable.
But the beast turned its claws at its own people.
"You...... Who are you......" The archer's face twitched, and he saw the man in black looking at him coldly with a pair of cold eyes.
"You don't need to know. The man in black kicked him off the city tower, and watched him turn into a cold corpse on the ground, before he snorted coldly: "Tang Guo, it's going to change the sky." ”
The guards of the forbidden army who resisted at the gate of the city were finally cleaned up, two black-clothed men held up the heavy bronze door bolt, and a sound of horses' hooves approached not far away like thunder, taking advantage of the night, a cavalry team of 1,000 people with a monstrous murderous aura, poured into this majestic Tang Palace.
Qin Ke, who was hidden in the darkness, squatted in the corner of the wall, looking at the door of the case library not far away with some tears and laughter.
It turned out that the so-called "leading away" of Gonggong Feng was actually such a means.
The few people who had been guarding the case vault all year round were now holding their stomachs and belts, and the bright lights lined their somewhat green faces, and it was obvious that the crotons mixed with the meal had begun to work with a cruel smile.
It's a real trick, and it sounds like a child's prank, but it's still tried and tested, and it works.
For those Li clan relatives, I am afraid that they will only think that today's food is not very clean, and they have eaten bad stomachs, these clan relatives and nobles have been guarding here for many years, and they have already been very impatient, and now they are pulling their stomachs, and those who do not watch the door have long been thrown out of the clouds.
Before this, there was actually a team of guards of the forbidden army patrolling around the perimeter along a special route, but it had also been transferred away by the so-called "mother's cat lost", which seemed to be lame, but it was seamless.
And Qin Ke saw a firelight in the distance, flashing, flashing, flashing about three times in a row, Qin Ke nodded, the Xunfeng technique unfolded, and the qi and blood penetrated his whole body, his body suddenly became extremely rigid - this was to prevent some hidden weapons from inside.
With a slight leap of his whole body, he suddenly crossed a distance of one zhang, and after a few beats, he had already dodged and turned in.
The moment he entered, Qin Ke was startled at first, in the case library shrouded in darkness, countless bookshelves stretched into a mountain, and the case files placed on them were even more layered, as if there was no end at all, and more importantly, there was a table in front of Qin Ke, where a person was lying on his stomach, snoring loudly.
Qin Ke frowned, it turned out that the case vault was not only guarded by people on the periphery, but even there were people on duty inside, but fortunately, this person was now insignificant, I don't know if he was asleep or stunned.
But this is not a problem that Qin Ke needs to consider, since the person arranged by Gonggong Feng can put laxatives in the meals of those two people outside, he can naturally also put drugs in this person's tea. His biggest problem now is to find the few letters he needs in this pile of case files.
"Xuanzi ......"
The letter could only occupy an insignificant small area, and even Jing Yu didn't know the more accurate location, Qin Ke took advantage of the faint light of the fire fold, compared with the wooden cards hanging on the shelf, and kept moving forward, all the way to the depths of the case library.
However, when Qin Ke really realized the meaning of the words "looking for a needle in a haystack", he couldn't help but scold: "Damn it...... When will you have to find a place of this size?"
But scolding and scolding, without further ado, Qin Ke still quickly rummaged through the bookshelves.
Although Croton is now firmly exerting its strength, no one can guarantee the specific time when they will return, and Qin Ke not only has to find the letter, but also has to escape unnoticed......
If he could, he really didn't want to use that secret passage, although Gao Yishui told him several times afterwards that he should put his life first in everything, but he still couldn't suppress himself from feeling the "Qiqi" who lost their lives in the deep palace.
One good thing is that those letters are all light and soft silk books, and most of the bamboo slips placed in this case library are bamboo slips, which helps Qin Ke sift out a lot of trouble, naturally, Qin Ke can specifically rummage through those silk books, and also speed up the speed of browsing the content of silk books as much as possible.
