After a rough calculation, there is less than a month before the start of the treasure competition.

After walking out of the Zhao family, He Yi did not return to the Taishou Mansion.

Because, Gongliang Ju is coming.

And brought him a great news: all the 3,000 elite soldiers of Li Rongzhai have surrendered.

Therefore, He Yi has to discuss with Gongliangju a series of problems that will be faced next, and plan before taking action to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Therefore, he only wrote a letter and asked Jia Shao to send it to the Taishou Mansion.

There were only two sentences on the letter:

The Zhao family has no objection, and is willing to move their family out of the city to avoid gossip, and they can rest assured. In addition, the 1,500 people of the three counties are ready and can be sent to Huyang at any time, please prepare for the handover immediately. ”

...... ......

Early the next morning.

After He Yi had a secret conversation with Gongliangju overnight, everything big and small had been decided, and he sent someone to send a letter to Pei Dong in the plain at night, and the rest was just waiting for the action of the Taishou Mansion.

Sure enough, as soon as the sky dawned, there was a team of men and horses all over the banners, with bright armor, slowly walking out of Huyang City.

After walking for half a day, until the upper suburbs of Pingyuan County five miles away, I saw a large group of cloth people, waiting here early.

"Which one is Chang Duli? I am Pei Dong, the general of the plains, and in the name of my lord, I am here to hand over the people!" Pei Dong took a gun and straddled his horse, and came out of the ranks of the cloth-clothed people.

"That's it. Without further ado, send someone to come with me!"

A moment later, a fierce general walked out of the Huyang army with a swaying banner, his face full of arrogance.

It was Captain Changdu.

Originally, the person Liu Yi wanted to send was not him, but because of the relationship between the Zhao family, Liu Yi specially appointed Chang Duwei to do this, and specially instructed He Yi that if he could erase it quietly, it would be better, but as for the reason, of course, it was "died on the battlefield".

For such conditions, He Yi naturally agreed.

He didn't want this Chang Du Lieutenant to go back alive.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Pei Dong took the reins of the horse in his hand, stopped in front of Chang Duwei, and said, "My lord said that you must first disguise these civilians as soldiers from Huyang before you can take them away." Otherwise, if the news leaks, it will not be beneficial to my Pingyuan County and Huyang City!"

"Hmm?" That Chang Duwei frowned, his eyes stopped on Pei Dong's face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Pei Dong saw a slight sweat in his palms.

He knew what to do next, and he was a little nervous, but more excited.

"I don't know if Captain Chang Du can bring another 1,500 sets of Huyang armor?" Pei Dong reminded, flicking the reins of the horse in his hand to hide the tension in his heart.

The importance of this matter is self-evident, and if it fails, all the work done will be lost.

"Not really. Chang Duwei shook his head.

He came out in a hurry, but he just listened to Taishou's order and exchanged 1,500 Huyang troops for 1,500 civilians.

This task was so simple, but Chang Duwei didn't think much about it, and directly led people out of the city.

But as the other side said, how can civilians be disguised as soldiers without additional armor?

Pei Dong said loudly: "Since this is the case, please ask Captain Chang Du to go back to Huyang first and bring 1,500 sets of armor before coming!"

After that, Pei Dong turned the horse's head and was about to leave with the people.

"Wait a minute!" Chang Duwei hurriedly shouted.

If you go back to Huyang City to get the armor, it will definitely not work. If you can't even do such a simple task, I'm afraid you will be left behind.

The most important thing is that when he entered the palace today to receive the order, he found that Taishou's attitude towards him was extremely cold, and if Taishou was dissatisfied with this matter, he was afraid that his career would come to an end.

"In that case, why don't I tell the soldiers to take off their armor and put on these civilians?" Captain Chang waved his hand back and shouted, "Remove your armor!"

After the military order was issued, rows of Huyang soldiers began to unload their armor and handed it over to those cloth-clothed people.

After most of the hour, the "disguise" ended.

Fifteen hundred sets of armor were already worn on the bodies of those people.

It was also at this time that Captain Chang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Because, after those people picked up Huyang's weapons and put on Huyang's armor, they completely changed their temperament, giving people the feeling of being reborn.

They were neatly arrayed, and there was a sense of slaughter in the ranks, and there was no cowardice that civilians should have, but like an elite army that had experienced the baptism of war.

"Please also ask Captain Chang to remove his armor!"

Before he could think about it, Pei Dong took more than a dozen "people" and surrounded Chang Duwei.

There was no awe on their faces when the lower officials saw the upper officials, only endless ferocity and coldness.

Captain Chang only felt that the situation was not good, and suddenly panicked, put his weapon in front of him, and said vigilantly: "What do you want to do?"

"Please remove your armor from Captain Changdu!" Pei Dong said in a cold voice, holding the spear in his hand tightly.

More than a dozen "people" around him also secretly unsheathed their swords, revealing their edges and murderous spirits.

"You, are you trying to murder Captain Pontus? Someone! Someone, come here, arrest all these traitors for me!" Seeing this, Chang Duwei became even more panicked, pulled out his horse and turned around, and was about to flee.

At this moment, Pei Dong suddenly shot out his gun, like lightning, the spear was piercing through the body, and one shot pierced the heart of the Chang Du Lieutenant.

From life to death, he did not make a sound.

"Kill! No one will be left!" Pei Dong cruelly gave the order to kill.

He hung the corpse of the captain from the tip of the gun and held it high, and the gushing blood fell down the barrel of the gun, marking a bright red mark on his body.

"Kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts were not mixed with much boiling blood, because the fifteen hundred unarmed Huyang soldiers standing on the other side did not have the slightest ability to resist.

Without weapons and armor, they are like dead grass swept into a strong wind, destined to leave nothing behind the moment they are uprooted.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, less than a quarter of an hour.

Looking at the mountains of corpses in front of him, Pei Dong felt no waves in his heart, because he knew how important what he had to do next.

"Leave a team to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Li Rong army will set off with me!"

These elite soldiers who disguised themselves as ordinary people and surrendered a few days ago still used the word "Li Rong" as their military name after joining He Yi's command, and temporarily belonged to Pei Dong's management.

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound was in the sky.

...... ......

In the past few days, more and more Xiuzhen families in Huyang City have left Huyang, trying to try their luck on the outskirts of the Northern Wilderness Snow Field before the Treasure Competition begins.

If you are lucky, you can get an opportunity in the Northern Wilderness, which is a great opportunity.

As a result, the city was bustling for a few days, and the streets became deserted again.

He Yi and Gongliangju stood side by side not far from the city gate, looking at the open city gate and the people who occasionally came and went.

"Young General, you have been born for a short time, and you may not know it yet...... About thirty percent of the people in this world have been bewitched by the immortals in the outside world, and the word Xiuzhen is faster than the plague spreads. Gongliangju whispered and straightened the armor on his body.

He likened spiritual practice to a plague, no, worse than a plague.

A few years ago, Gongliangju had just retired from the remnants of the Beirong army that was facing disbandment, and the first thing he came to was Huyang City.

But when he saw a series of dark things and was powerless to stop them, he had no choice but to leave here and go to the plains to live in seclusion.

But in the end, even the plains, a small and remote county, have no place for him.

"Beauty is called its name, practice, immortality. But in the Northern Wilderness, in the dry snow forest, in the Wuqian Continent, and in the countless uncultivated lands beyond the frontier, how many innocent people were thrown into it, in search of the so-called spiritual property, and died in the Nine Springs?"

Gongliangju's face did not have the slightest expression, he was used to seeing such things, and he was somewhat numb.

He didn't want to go numb like this.

Therefore, he would rather join Li Rongzhai to give him advice and do rebellion.

He Yi silently patted Gongliangju's shoulder, and his other hand was hidden in his sleeve and squeezed tightly.

Why can't he understand Gongliangju's feelings?

In the Northern Wilderness, the prisoners who were drained of blood, the cruel blood sacrifices, and the abandoned soldiers;

In the border village, the hunger and crying of women, the dead bodies hanging upside down from the trees, are regarded as little girls in the hearth;

Pingyuan County, the deceived recruits, the bloody battles in the dry snow forest, the dirty transactions between the immortals and the officials;

and the 1,500 innocent people in Huyang City, who were almost used again.

He Yi has seen it with his own eyes and experienced it himself.

This time, his heart will not be shaken again.
