Chapter Twenty-Four: Nine Deaths Without Remorse

"When I was young, you said that you wanted to be my bride when you grew up, and I said that I would protect you for the rest of my life," Gu Jian seemed to recall the happiest picture in his life, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Ying'er, you may not remember it anymore, but I will never forget it." ”

"Brother Gu, it's all a child's joke......" Jiang Ying stopped talking.

"I know, I'm willing. Gu Jian smiled and glanced at Chen Mingye, "That kid, remember what you said, when you are a soldier, you must take the corresponding responsibility and guard her well." ”

Chen Mingye looked at him deeply: "You are very promise-keeping, that's a coincidence, I'm also very promise-keeping, if I really want to die, I will definitely die in front of her,"

Jiang Ying's eyes wandered, and she was speechless for a while.

"Okay! Ying'er, you go first, I'll cut it off. Gu Jian Hengjian was in front of him, and his tone was calm.

Jiang Ying bit her lower lip lightly: "Brother Gu, I will join forces with you to fight the enemy." ”

"Stupid, your injuries are not good at all, there is a burden behind you, staying will distract me," Gu Jian glanced at her dotingly, "Let's go, I'm just breaking and not desperate." Why, don't you believe in your Big Brother Gu's ability?"

"No, Brother Gu......" Jiang Yingxiu's eyebrows frowned tightly, and there was a faint glint in her eyes.

"Let's go, we'll stay, it's a drag on him. Chen Mingye sighed.

His limbs were completely numb, and he couldn't exert any strength at all, and Chen Mingye was really powerless for his current state.

Jiang Ying gritted her teeth: "Brother Gu, you hold on, give me a stick of incense time, and I will definitely go to the city defense camp to find someone to pick you up." ”

"Okay!" Gu Jian nodded, his eyes calm.

"Brother Gu, you must wait for me to come back!" Jiang Ying didn't hesitate any longer, carried Chen Mingye on her back, and flew out.

Gu Jian glanced at her departing back, and the corners of his mouth were faint smiles.

The man in black just watched Jiang Ying leave quietly without making any moves.

"You can't stop me. He looked at Gu Jian in front of him and said with interest.

"I know. Gu Jian's gaze didn't have any waves, "But before I die, you don't want to leave here for half a step." ”

"You know you're going to die?" the man in black seemed dissatisfied with his calmness, and a gloom covered his eyes.

"I know. Gu Jian was still calm.

"Hmph, what kind of hero are you still pretending to be here when you are dying," the man in black was suddenly enraged by his attitude, and his palm turned into a knife and slashed at him fiercely, "Tremble in the fear of death!"

"Anything about her makes me brave enough. Gu Jian slowly lifted the sword, his eyes were resolute, "Where the heart wants, I have no regrets in nine deaths." ”

The mansion was silent, the lights were dim, and only a desperate sword light pierced the night.

Chen Mingye looked at Jiang Ying who was struggling to move forward in silence and sighed.

The whole city of Anshun was in chaos, most of the homes were closed, and only sergeants galloped through the streets.

Smoke billowed from all sides, and many houses were caught in flames, lighting up the night sky.

Jiang Ying drew her sword to stop a group of sergeants, and said coldly, "Give me one of your horses." ”

"Miss Jiang!" the sergeant was stunned, and hurriedly dismounted, "Why are you here?" ”

"Find some brothers to go into the City Lord's Mansion to meet Commander Gu, pay attention to a man in black who has an extremely high martial arts cultivation, you must remember to be careful. Jiang Ying turned over on her horse, looked at the sergeant and said, and rushed out with a wave of her horsewhip.

"Yes!"

Chen Mingye asked, "Why don't you take them directly in to pick them up." ”

"It's useless, I'm afraid that the cultivation aura of the man in black is above the sixth grade, ordinary soldiers used to just send them to death, and I let them go over, just to gain momentum. Jiang Ying frowned and said, "Only those generals who are looking for the city defense battalion can do it." ”

Gu Ming, the actual general in charge of the southern army of Anshun Town, at this moment, although the entire city was full of fires, his face was still calm.

"Is the situation in the city under control?" he asked lightly, glancing at the general beside him.

"The overall situation is under control, all the city defenses have been replaced by our people, and those old stubborn mansions have been mixed in by our people, and they can do it at any time with an order. ”

"Now I'm waiting for news from the Six Clans Alliance, I hope they won't let me down. Gu Ming looked up at the night sky, "Tonight, it's really starry." ”

The general hurriedly said: "The last general wishes the general all the best in his plans." ”

Gu Ming seemed to think of something: "By the way, what about Gu Jianren, I specially arranged for him to take someone to extinguish the fire, he didn't do anything, right?"

"This ......" the general hesitated, and then reported, "My people said that Commander Gu Jian let his soldiers disperse to extinguish the fire, and he took a few people to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"What!" Gu Ming was taken aback, "This bastard, what is he doing in the City Lord's Mansion at this time! The assassins over there are all martial arts masters sent over there, and the people in the mansion are killed,"

"The little commander should know this, I'm afraid it's for the sake of that Miss Jiang, but I think that once I am defeated, I will retreat, and I won't have to worry about my life. The general guessed.

"It's really a mouse's eye, take Anshun City, then Jiang Ying is not at his kneading," Gu Ming frowned, "Let Wang Shan send a team of men and horses to bring him back." ”

"Yes!" the general had just arrived, but a sergeant hurriedly came in to report.

"Report, Miss Jiang Ying brought someone and said that she was coming to see the general!"

"Jiang Ying?" Gu Ming was stunned, "Why is she here?" If she is here, will Gu Jian also follow?"

The sergeant immediately replied, "I haven't seen Commander Gu. ”

"What!" Gu Ming frowned, "Come with me to meet that girl." ”

"General, do we want to ......" the general silently made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"No, the six clans haven't given news yet, in case they fail and let Jiang Hechuan come back, we really have no way to retreat. Gu Jian shook his head, but still said cautiously, "Forget it, go and see what she is here to do." ”

Looking at Gu Ming who was slowly coming in front of him, Jiang Ying couldn't wait for Jiang Ying to hurriedly step forward and say, "Uncle Gu, save Gu Jian quickly." ”

"What's going on!" Gu Ming frowned, his eyes sweeping over the two young men in front of him.

"Someone went to the City Lord's Mansion to assassinate him, Gu Jian broke it off for us, and he hasn't gotten out yet, so I implore Uncle Gu to send someone to help!" Jiang Ying said hurriedly.

Gu Ming was stunned, and glanced at the two of them fiercely, like a tiger devouring, he shouted violently: "The first battalion of the Zhennan Army, gather immediately, and set off with me." ”

The army immediately assembled with an order, Gu Ming rushed out first, and then the army followed out.

"Let's go too. Jiang Ying gritted her teeth, waved her horsewhip, and followed closely behind.

The originally lively streets had long been deserted, and the army roared silently through the long streets, bringing a cool breeze of slaughter.

Gu Ming himself was a martial arts master in Anshun City, second only to Jiang Hechuan, and he galloped on his horse, with an extremely cold expression on his face.

The generals who know him know that this General Gu may have already moved to kill, and if something happens to Gu Jian, I am afraid that there will be even more chaos tonight.

"Be careful. Chen Mingye, who had been watching coldly, whispered to Jiang Ying.

"......" Jiang Ying didn't pay attention to him at all, and only cared about galloping wildly.

"Don't you think it's strange that the Zhennan Army is waiting for the night and going to war at any time when the order is given?"

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Ying said calmly, her voice cold.

"Although Anshun City is full of chaos tonight, it is not a big deal, and there is no need for the elite Zhennan Army to maintain a wartime state," Chen Mingye's eyes showed a hint of contemplation, "On the contrary, this lively and chaotic night is the most suitable for fishing in troubled waters." Guess if it's only the City Lord's Mansion that has been assassinated?"

"Do you think it was Uncle Gu's arrangement? But he was worried that Gu Jian's expression wouldn't lie. Jiang Ying looked at the back of the mighty general in front of her from a distance.

"Gu Jian's appearance is purely because of you," Chen Mingye chuckled, reaching out to twist a beautiful woman's green silk, "What if it's an accident?"

"......" Jiang Ying didn't say a word, but Chen Mingye could clearly feel the coldness emanating from her body.

"You might as well quietly hide your body and observe how things will develop tonight," Chen Mingye said, "After all, your identity is too sensitive." ”

Jiang Ying said calmly: "I'm going to save Gu Jian." ”

"Of course, my life can be regarded as his saving, of course I have to go," Chen Mingye nodded, "but we can change the way that is a little more appropriate." ”

Jiang Ying pulled her horse to a halt, looked at the mighty army beside her, and her apricot eyes trembled slightly: "Okay." ”

Chen Mingye looked up at the night sky and said softly, "Tonight, it's just over halfway through." ”
