Chapter 258: Huai'an City is haunted
Sometimes, when you face hundreds of enemies besieging you, it may be a nightmare for you, but when you go and besiege someone one day, maybe you are also someone else's nightmare. Taking the initiative is always more powerful and more frustrating than being passively beaten.
Bloody Knife Wuxin has been besieged by others countless times, but he has not flinched, and even finally been able to take the initiative, but has become a nightmare for the enemy. Now, it seems that the time has come for a full-scale counteroffensive, although he does not have thousands of troops, but he has a group of friends who can fight a hundred enemies with one enemy, and this force may be more fierce than thousands of troops.
The middle-aged man in blue looked at Nangong Chu standing at the door without blinking, and said slowly: "It seems that you can't hide anything, you know more than I imagined." ”
"What if you know less, what if you know more? From the day you joined Red Feather, the end has been doomed, it's just a matter of time. But ......" Nangong Chu paused, reached out and took out the swallow dart from his arms, looked at the middle-aged man in blue, and asked slowly, "Who are you from the Jade Rakshasa?"
The dart in Nangong Chu's hand was the weapon used by the man in blue when he fought with the middle-aged man in blue last night, and this swallow dart was the weapon used by the Jade Rakshasa at the beginning.
The middle-aged man in blue looked at the swallow dart in Nangong Chu's hand, squinted his eyes, frowned and said, "She is my apprentice, the only apprentice." When he said this, the middle-aged man in blue could not hide a trace of pain on his face, it seemed that he cared very much about his apprentice, but now he was separated by yin and yang. The death of the apprentice was as if it had foreshadowed his own end, and he knew what kind of end awaited them.
"What is the relationship between Red Feather and the Xianwang Mansion?" Nangong Chu stared at the eyes of the blue-clothed middle-aged man tightly, and asked word by word. This is a question that he and Wuxin and the others have always shared, and all kinds of signs indicate that there must be some kind of connection between the Xianwang Mansion and Red Feather, but they have been suffering from not finding a trace of clues.
Hearing Nangong Chu's words, the middle-aged man in blue smiled, and seemed to smile with a hint of pride. I saw him glance at Nangong Chu, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with it, you are here to kill me anyway, aren't you?" It seemed that he was no longer willing to say anything.
Nangong Chu didn't plan to ask any more, he already knew that it would be a waste of time to ask, and the other party would not tell him the answer he wanted, because he couldn't see a trace of fear in the eyes of the middle-aged man in blue, a person who was not greedy for life and afraid of death would not betray his master.
Next, it's time to end all this, Nangong Chu is already planning to do it. And at this time, the red feather killers who were originally scattered also stood up and moved behind the middle-aged man in blue, although his face was full of fear, but he did not intend to kneel and beg for mercy, as if he had made up his mind to make a final resistance with the man in blue, but the scene looked a little desperate. How can a group of people who have already admitted defeat from their hearts before they have even started, win.
And at this time, Murong Tang, who followed Nangong Chu all the way back, also returned with people, and soon filled the already miserable courtyard, I can't see how many people there are, but all of them have angry faces, they are here to take revenge, let the enemy taste the despair under the knife of tragic death.
The two gangs, the two guys who are also armed with weapons, are in different states of mind and represent different endings......
Huai'an City no longer seems to be as chaotic and orderly as before, because outsiders have come here, breaking the original tacit understanding here. In the past two days, there have been skirmishes in the city, and although they have not caused much waves, they have already heralded a different beginning.
The King of Yanmen and his sons had left Huai'an not long ago, because they had received a decree from the emperor summoning them to the Shaolin Temple to receive their relatives, and specifically stated that they were not allowed to enter the Central Plains except for those who welcomed them. This is an obvious temptation, Hu Yan Zhuolie knows, but he can only pretend not to know, he can only take his son and set off with the welcoming team, in the direction of Shaolin Temple.
On a hill not far from the city gate, there was a person, a person shrouded in black, with a black veil on his face, holding a narrow and pitch-black knife in his hand, and he was coldly watching the large army that was gradually moving away from the Yanmen Palace, his eyes were cold.
Not long after the large army of Yanmen Wangfu left, there was movement in Yanmen Wangfu far away from the pass, as if he had received some order, 100,000 troops were all assembled, fully armed, and it didn't take long for them to leave the barracks, in the direction of the Central Plains, in the direction of Huai'an City, leaving only some guards, it seemed that they were going to do something, and it didn't look like they were going out to practice.
The whole border gate was suddenly uneasy because of the presence of this army, and people were speculating about what this army was going to do, but few people could say anything.
And when the emperor, who was on the way to Shaolin, knew the news, he immediately issued an order to ask Hu Yanzhuo what he wanted to do, and the reply he received couldn't help but make people think deeply. Hu Yan Zhuolie claimed that there seemed to be a sign of turmoil in Huai'an City recently, and it was suspected that there were spies from other countries mixed in, intending to create chaos in Huai'an City, so he wanted to send troops to suppress it. What he said is right, Huai'an City is no longer as calm as before, and there are always riots, but no matter how you listen to this explanation, Hu Yan Zhuo makes people feel that it is false, because some things are already known to everyone.
In the past few days, the most anxious person is the guard of Huai'an City, Lu Wanshan. Originally, under his rule, the mixed city of Huai'an gradually became peaceful, and all forces began to coexist peacefully, and there was no longer any fighting. But recently, there have been a series of riots, although it is only a small fight, but he always feels that this is a sign before the storm, and the beginning of all this is all because of the arrival of the army of the Yanmen Palace.
At this time, Lu Wanshan was pacing back and forth in the meeting hall of his city defense barracks, his uneasy mood seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, he always felt that all this unusualness was caused by the Yanmen Palace, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, because he didn't want to wake up tomorrow and find that his head was no longer on his neck.
He has already reported to the court and explained the situation here, but most of the content of the compromises is not his original wish, but the meaning of the king of Yanmen, how dare he, a small general who guards the city, go against the town and guard the border for decades, and you are the king's Hu Yan scorching.
Originally, these recitals were usually uploaded to the Ministry of War, and they were screened by the Ministry of War and then handed over to the emperor for personal review, but because this is an extraordinary period, the emperor has decreed that from now on, all the notes related to the border pass will be presented to him as soon as possible. But even so, it is not the emperor who can see the folds for the first time now, but the Seven Sage Kings, so the Seven Sage Kings will always be the first to know what happened at the border pass.
At this moment, a soldier with a weapon on his waist walked in, came to Lu Wanshan's side in a panic, and said with a solemn expression: "General, I'm afraid something is really going to happen." As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking nervous.
At this time, the defenders of Huai'an City were no longer holding Qi Mei sticks in their hands, and they all changed back to their original weapons, because things have been too unusual recently, and they always feel that something big is about to happen, so Lu Wanshan has ordered that all soldiers are fully armed in case of accidents.
"What are you doing, what is going on, say!" Lu Wanshan said angrily, with a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Just now, there was a report from the front that nearly 100,000 troops were entering Yanmen Pass and coming towards Huai'an City. The soldier said with a shudder of his lips.
Hearing his subordinates' answer, Lu Wanshan's eyes widened, and his face turned pale in an instant, something happened, something really happened. He has been silently thinking in his heart for the past few days, hoping that nothing will happen, and he will be the general who guards the city safely, but the words of his subordinates just now have completely pulled him back to reality, and he knows that something is really going to happen.
100,000 troops? Where did the 100,000 troops come from? Inside and outside this pass, apart from the Yanmen Palace, who can mobilize 100,000 troops? Who has 100,000 troops?
Lu Wanshan, whose face was pale, staggered to the side of the chair, his face was like ashes, originally he thought that he could live freely in these three places, but from the moment the King of Yanmen brought the troops here, he knew that everything had changed. It's not that he hasn't heard the folk rumors, but he always feels that it doesn't have much to do with him, whoever is the emperor is the same for him, as long as he is not allowed to go to the battlefield, let him die quietly in this Huai'an City, but now everything is shattered.
In the afternoon of the same day, the 100,000 troops from outside the gate were stationed outside the city of Huai'an, and they did not enter, I don't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, but they were suffering from Lu Wanshan, who was hiding in the barracks, and I didn't know where to go, and I was a little at a loss.
But all this was not over, and on the same night, an unbelievable event happened! The 100,000 troops stationed on the outskirts of Huai'an City suddenly began to disappear one after another, disappearing without a trace, without a trace, as if those people had never been here.
For a time, the military camp was in chaos, there were torches held high everywhere, and groups of soldiers were looking for their missing companions everywhere, and the scope was expanding more and more, and they had even begun to search for Huai'an City.
Someone seemed to have seen something, claiming to have seen a flying ghost, black, grabbing a dying soldier and flying out of the barracks, I don't know where it flew, maybe it was a ghost asking for his life, maybe it was a guy who didn't open his eyes that angered the king of Hades and sent black and white impermanence. No one knows, everyone is in a state of uneasiness.
Some people say: Huai'an City is starting to be haunted......
