The three drums sounded, and each sound seemed to knock on Fang Wenye's heart.

As a military advisor, he should share weal and woe with the lord, but as the lord, he should also take into account the strength of the military advisor and take the initiative to persuade him to leave, the dragon king did not speak, Fang Wen had to make his own opinion, slowly retreated to the back door, and persuaded himself in his heart: You don't know martial arts, staying here will only get in the way, the dragon king didn't think for a while, you should think about him, right?

The Dragon King was holding the Wufeng Knife and standing casually in the middle of the hall, seemingly unimpressed by the impending assassination, and even closing his eyes to recuperate.

Tie Linglong showed a calmness that did not match her age, only the fingers of her left hand shook slightly, showing a trace of nervousness and excitement, she glanced at the young swordsman, "Xiao Chu, let's compete." ”

Chu Nanping thought for a while before he spit out the word "good".

The three of them stood in dispersion, each about seven paces away, guarding each other.

Fang Wen felt even more that there was no place for himself here, so he calmly retreated to the back door, and was about to lift the curtain to go out, but changed his mind and shook his head vigorously, thinking that he finally had a chance to show his loyalty, so it was better to take a risk.

Countless images of Dao people emerged from the ground and rushed into the hall with a whizz.

Fang Wen sighed, since he stayed at the scene, he had only one choice: squatting under the table with his head in his hands.

Chu Nanping's first sword stabbed not at the enemy, but at the wick of the only oil lamp in the hall, and the last flame struggled on the tip of the sword for a moment, disappearing, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Gu Shenwei opened his eyes, he was used to the dark, and through the faint moonlight, he could see more clearly.

He would never rush into the warband except in the midst of a large number of troops, and there was not much room for manoeuvres in the hall, so he adopted another tactic, jumping over the enemy's head like a light insect, and each time he would inevitably land next to some Assassin in the outermost part of the world.

In order to keep up with the dragon king, the assassins also jumped, which made their formation even more scattered, and Gu Shenwei could catch the lone person in the air.

Fang Wen closed his eyes and prayed silently: Let the Dragon King win quickly and show loyalty just this time, next time it will be far away.

The crisp sound of weapons intersecting, the muffled sound of blood gushing, and the vibration of heavy objects falling to the ground all made Fang Wen feel frightened, and strangely there was no scream of injury and dying, but it made people feel even more strange fear.

He can make a grand strategy that will decide the life and death of tens of millions of people without hesitation, but he can't stand the bloody slaughter that is close at hand.

Strategizing to win a thousand miles, he defended himself and said, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the strategist should keep his distance from the murder scene, like this, he is scared half to death, how can he still think about the overall situation and make suggestions?

Fang Wenye's emotion didn't last long, the sound of the fight suddenly stopped, and Fang Wen didn't dare to open his eyes until someone gently patted him on the shoulder.

Fang Wen was trembling, raised his head and hit the bottom of the table, and with an ouch, it became the only scream of this killing.

He got out of the bottom of the table and saw that the oil lamp was re-lit, and there were seven or eight corpses lying in the hall, most of them in different places, Tie Linglong was looking at himself and giggling, Fang Wen was holding on to the table, almost vomiting, and covered up: "I ate bad things at night." ”

Then he remembered that he hadn't eaten at all at night, his face was a little red, and he hurriedly looked for words, "Who are these people, Jinpeng Fort or the Overseer?"

"They are Meng's people. Through a short confrontation, Gu Shenwei had already guessed the origin of these people, and only Meng Mingshu, who did not understand martial arts, would send assassins to assassinate the Dragon King who had been prepared for a long time.

"Meng's?" Fang Wen's surprise drove away the nausea, "Are there still people in Biyu City who support the Great Snow Mountain?"

"Yes. ”

Gu Shenwei took the lead out of the hall and jumped onto the roof, followed by Tie Linglong and Chu Nanping with the military advisor.

In addition to not liking bloody scenes, Fang Wen found that he didn't like to climb high either, standing on the undulating tiles, he didn't have a sense of steadiness, but the scene in front of him made him quickly forget all this.

A raging fire erupted at the far end of the southern city, illuminating half of the sky.

"This, this is ......" Fang Wen really hoped that the Dragon King could reveal the news in advance, even if it was a little, and not let him, the military advisor, feel unclear about anything.

"It's a proud building, and the wild horses are being rounded up. ”

"By that Tianshan Sect?"

"It's not just the Tianshan Sect, but also the Jinpeng Killer and the swordsmen all over the city. ”

"This ...... How is it possible?" Fang Wen was puzzled by too many questions, and there was even a little indignation in his tone.

"It's all my credit. Tie Linglong hurriedly said that she didn't have a chance to kill just now, so she didn't mention anything about the competition with Chu Nanping, "I'll take the sword of the Dragon King and go to see ...... Someone from the Tianshan Sect, they have been secretly monitoring the Proud Tower since last night, and they have guarded all the exits strictly. ”

Tie Linglong said in a hurry, took a deep breath and continued, "The Tianshan Sect secretly informed the swordsmen in the city to gather near the Proud Building at the third watch, and use arson as a sign to exterminate the wild horse gang. ”

Fang Wen could only shake his head, the Dragon King always changed his situation at the last moment, and something would happen sooner or later, but the current crisis had finally passed, "Anyway, that wild horse is finally finished." ”

"No, the mustangs have fled. "Gu Shenwei corrected the mistakes of the military advisor.

"Why?" Fang Wen wished that he would also be able to do advanced martial arts, so as to force the Dragon King to tell the truth at one time.

"Mustang is a smart man, and he will definitely flee early, but this is fine, Jinpeng Castle has another enemy. ”

"The Great Snow Mountain also has one more enemy. Fang Wen said in a low voice.

The fire of the proud building woke up the entire Biyu City, and the proud building was separated from your garden by a wall, and many people connected the two fires at the beginning, thinking that there were ghosts and gods in it.

After dawn, more news came out, and it turned out that there were many foreign swordsmen hidden in the proud building, that is, they killed people everywhere and erected black blood flags in the name of the dragon king.

Many swordsmen in Nancheng have received mysterious information, and at the time of the third watch last night, thousands of swordsmen rushed into Wangcheng Lane and the deserted Guiyuan, attacking the proud building from all directions, and then burned it down with a fire.

Naturally, there is no way to keep this kind of action strictly secret, most of the dozens of disciples of the proud building, including Peng Xianren, have fled, and the remaining more than 100 foreign swordsmen have all been killed by random knives, and afterwards people found that many of them were flag planters who had swallowed poison and committed suicide and resurrected from the dead.

No one was caught alive during the operation, but the Tianshan Sect had previously designed to capture a captive alive, and after learning that his accomplices had been wiped out, the captive was finally willing to tell the truth, admitting that they had been pretending to be the Dragon King.

Even so, the residents of Biyu City were still skeptical, the name Tianshan Sect had not heard of a few words, it was a secret organization among the swordsmen, and it was difficult to be convincing when it suddenly jumped out to speak.

But at noon on the day of the burning of the proud building, Jinpeng Fort spoke, and the Jinpeng killers "caught" several prisoners, and they were also willing to confess, admitting that the act of killing people and erucating flags was done by Mustang and had nothing to do with the Dragon King.

In the blink of an eye, the public enemy of Biyu City changed from the dragon king Yang Huan to a wild horse.

The name Mustang was immediately well-known to the public and became the target of public criticism, but unfortunately, as Gu Shen expected, Mustang escaped, and he was not among the hundreds of corpses.

Gu Shenwei naturally wouldn't explain that the first few murderous flags were indeed done by him, because his goal had been achieved, and even better, the residents of Biyu City, who had been tortured by the fake dragon king, were tired of the life of grass and trees, and urgently needed peace, and peace became the most important topic of discussion on the streets, and almost everyone expressed their support.

The negotiation of peace is a matter between Daxueshan and Jinpeng Castle, and outsiders have no right to speak, but their attitude will indeed play an important role in promoting it.

The envoy of the Central Plains was the first to express his position, claiming that he did not want to see the hard-won stability in the Western Regions ruined, and that the Central Plains was willing to act as a mediator and guarantee the safety of the Dragon King and his entourage before the peace negotiations began.

The Four Noble Truths then held a public puja, and hundreds of monks chanted sutras to pray for Biyucheng, hoping that the Dragon King and the Dubu King would put down the butcher's knife for the sake of the common people.

Meng also supported the negotiation of peace, although not so sincerely, Meng Yuzun claimed that it was of course best if the two sides could defuse the sword soldiers, but he did not intend to participate in this matter.

The state of Shule was also unexpectedly in favor of peace, and they were prepared to make some demands on the camp occupied by the Great Snow Mountain, which was nominally the territory of the country.

Jinpeng Fort was slow to express its position, and three days later, news came from the western border that Dugu Xian had gathered 10,000 men and was attacking the camp of Daxue Mountain.

This is the plan of the Dubu King, to completely destroy the Great Snow Mountain as quickly as possible, making the peace meaningless.

The situation is clear at a glance, if Jinpeng Fort can win within a few days, the Dragon King will become a loner, naturally there is no need to propose any peace, if the war is protracted, there are many casualties, Jinpeng Fort will lose the support of many forces, and it is likely to change from the recipient of peace to the proposer.

In those days, the residents of Biyu City paid attention to the war in the western frontier with unprecedented enthusiasm, and every day, a large group of people braved the bitter cold to wait at the west city gate, and when they saw someone riding a horse galloping quickly, they shouted to ask about the situation.

Gu Shenwei didn't have time to return to the camp, so he could only sit and wait for the news, Fang Wen chattered, saying that he was comforting the Dragon King, but in fact, he was cheering himself up, "King Dubu has miscalculated this time, it's winter now, and anyone who has read a little military book knows that this time is the most unsuitable time to attack." Ha, that Dugu Xian, I thought he had some ability, it turned out that he was also a reckless man. Dragon King, don't worry, the camp of the Great Snow Mountain is impregnable and will definitely be able to hold it. ”

Two days later, Fang Wenye's tone changed, "Dragon King, the Great Snow Mountain will definitely be able to hold it, right?"

On the fourth day, Fang Wen was pacing back and forth in front of the Dragon King, "No, we have to let the Central Plains exert pressure and force Jinpeng Fort to retreat." ”

But the envoy of the Central Plains was powerless, and King Dubu refused to meet under various excuses, and even the governor appointed by the Beiting Dynasty also played the trick of disappearing, and his whereabouts were unknown for several days.

Until the seventh day, everyone felt that the war had lasted too long, and shocking news came from the west: Duguxian, the commander of the Jinpeng Fort front, sent people back to the city and publicly suggested that Dubu Wang negotiate peace.
