Anshun City.

The noisy streets were deserted by tonight's accident, and the hooves of the horses of the Zhennan Army fell on the stone pavement, and the "Knock Knock" earthquake shook the heartbeat of every person hiding behind the door.

When Gu Ming arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he saw a corpse that had fallen to the ground. The killer showed no mercy, and the sergeant walked all the way without finding any live holes.

Gu Ming's face was extremely gloomy, and when he reached the courtyard of the side hall, he finally stopped and stopped moving forward. He stopped, and all the sergeants who followed him naturally stopped.

The whole house suddenly became quiet, and the silence made people breathless.

In the courtyard, there was a figure kneeling on one knee with a sword, motionless.

"Sword ......"

The night was thick, and the lanterns and candles in the mansion had already been destroyed by the aftermath of the fight, and there was only a faint light of the sergeant's torch. But Gu Ming could still recognize at a glance that the figure in front of him was his son, Gu Jian.

He took a deep breath and took a slow step.

Step by step, step by step, walking slowly like a thousand pounds, walking as heavy as a mountain on the back.

He was originally a powerhouse of the Nine Grades of Martial Arts, and he could cross it in one step at a distance of several zhang. Now, like a twilight old man, he is moving towards a dark fear.

Yes, with his cultivation, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he already noticed that the figure in front of him had long since lost his breath.

He just couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe that his Gu Ming's son died like this?

He trembled and walked up to the figure, slowly squatted down, and looked at the familiar face of his youth, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Gu Jian's eyes widened angrily, and he knelt on the ground with his sword, and he did not fall down until he died.

Only the sword mark on his chest pierced through his heart.

"Jian'er ......" Gu Ming trembled and stretched out his hand, slowly closing Gu Jian's eyes.

He squatted silently for a moment, and there was no sound in the entire courtyard.

After a while, he slowly got up, his body even shook a little, and the general hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he stretched out his hand to refuse.

"Heralds, everyone, do it!"

"General, do you want to do it now, won't you be in a hurry?" asked the general as he stepped forward and clenched his fists.

"Hands-on. Gu Ming squeezed out two stiff words from between his teeth.

"Yes!"

Gu Ming slowly stretched out his hand, hugged the already cold body in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Dad will avenge you!"

The stars in the sky are still shining, and the night in Anshun City is endless.

Chen Mingye glanced at the woman beside him with lowered eyes, and under the moonlight, a little bit of crystal sparkled in her eyes.

"Xiao Ying'er, now is not the time to be sad," he sighed, and the two of them just spied from the side, and naturally they also saw the picture of Gu Jian's death.

Jiang Ying raised her eyes, and Chen Mingye met the pair of watery eyes, like a clear and thorough spring in a lake, like a gentle picture scroll in the heart of the full moon.

Glancing at the orderly Zhennan army on the streets, marching towards various mansions, Chen Mingye understood that what he had guessed had indeed happened.

"If you don't leave, it's too late, Gu Ming is already on the verge of madness at this time, and the entire Anshun City will be in turmoil tonight. Chen Mingye said, thought about it and added a sentence, "Uncle Jiang has not returned yet, and we must not be a burden to him at this moment." ”

Jiang Ying silently bit her lip and glanced at him horizontally: "Let's go." ”

The two of them made a quick journey to the city gate.

"Open the door! I have an urgent need to get out of town. Jiang Ying reined in and looked at the sergeant standing in front of him and said coldly.

"It turned out to be Deputy Commander Jiang. The soldiers guarding the city looked at her with a smile, "Tonight is a very bad time, General Gu specially instructed anyone not to leave the city tonight, I'm really sorry." ”

"I command you, open the door now, I have an urgent need to get out of the city. Jiang Ying frowned.

"There is a military order, I don't dare to disobey, besides, Deputy Commander Jiang is not in the guard sequence tonight, please don't embarrass the last general. "The sergeant is still neither humble nor arrogant.

"This city lord of Anshun City, is his surname Gu or Jiang?" Chen Mingye sneered.

"Bold! Dare to slander the general indiscriminately!" the sergeant's face changed, and his gaze at Chen Mingye was extremely fierce, and he reprimanded fiercely.

"I say one last thing, open the door. Jiang Ying slowly pulled out the long sword she carried with her and pointed at the guard in front of her, her eyes cold.

The sergeant slowly retreated, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Jiang, don't say it's you today, even if City Lord Jiang comes in person, it is impossible for us to open the door!"

"Bold!" Jiang Yingjiao snorted, and without hesitation, she raised her sword and stabbed.

The sergeant rolled over in embarrassment, and shouted at his subordinates angrily: "Why are you still stunned, General Gu has already issued an order, no matter who wants to force out of the city tonight, all of them will be killed, and you still don't do it?"

The soldiers under him looked at each other, still a little hesitant.

Jiang Ying sighed, these city guards on the opposite side were all her comrades, and they used to respect themselves very much. It's just that now they don't know what will happen to Anshun City tonight.

"General Gu has an order, Jiang Ying is connected with foreign clans to rebel, and those who find Jiang Ying's traces will be rewarded with ten taels of gold! Take his head or capture him alive, and he can get a reward of one hundred taels!" A horse came running from a distance, roaring loudly at the head of the city.

"Oh no!" Chen Mingye sighed, Gu Ming really didn't hide it anymore, his announcement obviously showed that he and the Jiang family had a falling out.

Obviously, the pain of losing his son made him anxious for revenge, and he couldn't wait to capture Jiang Ying back, and even capturing him alive as a bargaining chip was not so important, the only thing he couldn't wait for now was to want Jiang Ying to die! After all, it was much easier to bring back a dead person than to capture it alive.

Jiang Ying's eyes were slightly hesitant, and with this order, she was completely cold.

She doesn't know much about the greed of human nature.

No one cares whether the so-called rebellion is true or not, what they care about is that now they can justifiably deal with this former city lord's daughter, and they can naturally compete for this genuine hundred taels of gold.

"Kill me!" the captain of the squad guarding the city roared, raising his knife and pointing at Jiang Ying.

Most of the guards were excited at his roar, and rushed forward after him. The few eyes were still full of contradictions, and the hands holding the knives trembled slightly.

The corner of the squad leader's mouth sneered, he was a descendant of Gu Ming's subordinates, and he was specially transferred to guard the city gate today, just in case someone escaped.

Seeing his soldiers rushing towards Jiang Ying, he seemed to have seen the glittering gold beckoning to him.

Jiang Ying held a long sword, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers who were originally rushing towards her were divided into two teams and bypassed her directly in a very tacit understanding, but they directly dragged the herald who came from behind them off their horses. And the soldiers who had been standing in place and did not move took advantage of the squad leader's unpreparedness, rushed up and tied him up in all kinds of ways, and escorted him in front of Jiang Ying.

Chen Mingye watched this series of changes in amazement.

"Zhou Dajian, the patrol battalion team, see the deputy commander!"

"Li Sande, the patrol battalion team, see the deputy commander!"

"Han Shui, the deputy commander of the patrol battalion team!"

......

The soldiers clasped their fists and saluted, shouting and respecting one after another!

"You ......," Jiang Ying was speechless for a while.

I don't know when the city gate has been "creaked" open, and the first man named Zhou Dajian who hugged his fist stepped forward and said: "Zhou Dajian, Jiayou joined the army in the first year, and the recruits' training results were not up to standard, and he was punished for a day and a night without eating, and it was the deputy commander who secretly gave me his military rations. ”

"Li Sande, in the second year of Jiayou, the Mushui River flooded, I fell into the tide, and it was the deputy commander who went into the water to pull me ashore!"

"Ma Dong, Yongxi joined the army in the eleventh year, and was seriously injured when he suppressed bandits in southern Xinjiang, and it was the city lord Jiang who personally carried me out of the trench!"

"Han Shui, in the thirteenth year of Yongxi's famine, it was the Jiang City Lord who ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain and save the lives of my whole family!"

"Wang Kongkong, in the first year of Jiayou, he patrolled with the deputy commander for more than 250 days and nights, and he never slackened!"

......

Everyone finished their names in one sentence, just like the first time they met when they joined the army and joined the team.

"Thank you brothers for pulling out their swords to help!" Jiang Ying dismounted and hugged her fists, and her hands, which had not trembled in the face of everyone's blades before, shook slightly at this moment.

"Deputy commander, time is running out, let's go!" Zhou Dajian stood at the front of the team and said loudly.

"I'm leaving, what are you going to do!" Jiang Ying hesitated.

"Tonight, no one here has seen any trace of the Deputy Commander. Zhou Dajian replied.

"Okay," Jiang Ying's gaze silently swept over the squad leader and herald who were escorted by the soldiers, and turned over on the horse, "Not much to say, thank you again for the help of the brothers, he will have another chance in the future, I invite you to each of you to have a pot of good Xinghua Village!"

"Good!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Brothers, see you another day!" Jiang Ying didn't hesitate anymore, she stayed for a moment longer, which would also give these brothers more trouble, she raised the long whip in her hand and rushed out.

Behind them, the standing soldiers clenched their fists in the distance.

"Congratulations to the Deputy Commander!"
