Since Emperor Yang Guang launched a campaign to conquer Goryeo, Liyang has become a huge military camp and a distribution center for ordnance, grain and grass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

That night, Liyang City, which had been noisy all day, returned to tranquility. On the four city walls, teams of heavily armed soldiers patrol back and forth - such as today's restlessness, countless cockroaches and grass thieves, and the ordnance and grain waiting to be transported to the front line of Goryeo in Liyang City are piled up, and there is no room for slackness.

A group of soldiers on the east gate had completed their patrol for the day, but the next group of soldiers who had not yet arrived, so they rested against the battlements of the city wall for a while.

A soldier with a spear walked up to the team leader with a waist knife, and asked with a smile: "Team Zhang, our patrol tasks are more than double as before these days, and the guard is so tight, is something going to happen?"

The team Zhang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Liu Chuwu, eat food and be a soldier, and do things obediently, should you bother with these?"

Although the boss was reprimanding, Liu Chuwu, a veteran soldier, naturally didn't take it seriously, and still salivated and said, "Aren't we afraid that we will throw our heads here once something happens?"

A soldier next to him smiled strangely: "Liu Chuwu, what you are really afraid of is that if you lose your head, the mother-in-law at home who doesn't lose money will be cheaper than others!"

The whole team of soldiers laughed in a low voice, and Team Zhang also showed a smile on his face, coughed and said: "Don't worry, we have strengthened the city guard in the past few days, because Lord Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu and the official worship department of the Ministry of Rites, brought a group of men and horses back from the front line to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and our county guard Lord Wu is afraid that those bastards who have just come down from the front line and have not dispersed will run into the city to make trouble." After Lord Yang escorts the grain and grass away in a few days, we can relax a little. ”

"Hehe, you'll be free forever. ”

A clear man's voice sounded suddenly, and the voice was so close at hand.

"Who is it?" Although this group of soldiers was only a local defender, they were also quite attentive in their daily training, and when they heard the sound, they were taken aback at first, and then each raised their spears and quickly set up a formation suitable for fighting on the city wall, and the current soldiers held torches high and shone in the direction from which the sound came.

Three figures emerged from the darkness in the corner of the tower. In the center is a tall man, his whole body is wrapped in black heavy armor, even his face is covered by a hideous mask, and behind his back hangs an unsheathed black giant sword that is seven feet long and wider than the palm of his hand; on the right is a handsome young man with a jade crown and a folding fan; on the left is a middle-aged man with a dark thin and gloomy face shrouded in a wide black robe.

Team Zhang had already drawn his sword in his hand, and under the cover of the spears standing like a forest beside him, he shouted at the three people and asked: "Who are you?

The young son among the three was the disciple of the Heavenly Demon Palace who wanted to kill Li Shimin and Li Xiuning's brother and sister that day, but was seriously injured by Chen Yi and fled in embarrassment. He didn't hear Zhang Team's question, turned his head and chuckled to the two companions beside him, "Two senior brothers, who of us will clean up these ants?"

The black-robed middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "So-and-so has already made a move." ”

With his words, there was a sudden scream from among the soldiers, but the soldiers suddenly felt a sharp pain in their legs almost at the same time, and when they looked down, they saw many black ants the size of ordinary people's fingertips densely attached to their legs, which had bitten through their clothes and gnawed their legs into a bloody blur.

"What the hell is this!"

The soldier screamed as he threw away his spear and threw it at him with all his might. But those ants were not only huge in size, but also strong as iron, and the slapping of their palms not only did not kill these ants, but only aroused their ferocity, and they ate the flesh and blood of these soldiers more and more frantically.

There were still thousands of black giant ants on the ground, and in a short time they were crawling all over the body of every soldier.

Listening to the terrible screams of those soldiers, the elegant smile on Hua Rongying's face did not diminish in the slightest, but applauded and exclaimed: "Senior Brother Diao Zhu is worthy of being the leader of the Zerg, one of the nine clans to which the Heavenly Demon Palace belongs, these iron-armored divine ants you have cultivated are not afraid of swords, soldiers, water and fire, and it is said that these ants are mortals, in the eyes of the younger brother, they are ordinary qi cultivators, and they will be gnawed into a pile of white bones in a moment or three." ”

When the black-robed middle-aged man heard this, a slight hint of triumph appeared on his gloomy face.

After a few moments, the terrible screams had completely disappeared, and the soldiers had all turned into a corpse of flesh and blood, extremely clean and neat.

The ironclad divine ants that had devoured the flesh and blood of the entire team of soldiers retreated like a tide, and then burrowed into his wide black robe from the soles of his erect feet like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Hua Langying turned to the armored man again and said, "Senior Brother Xiongkui, the younger brother cast a spell to isolate the sound, and the guards under the city should not have heard the movement. Use the power of your Warclan warriors to clean them up and open the gates, lower the drawbridge, and welcome the outsiders. ”

The armoured man known as Xiongkui did not speak, but only snorted as an answer, and then walked to the city wall and jumped straight into the city. Then a cry of astonishment and screaming was heard, and in a moment silence returned, and then the two heavy gates opened on either side. Xiongkui walked out of the hole in the city gate, raised his right palm and slashed twice, and two extremely sharp half-moon shaped pitch-black energy flew out of his palm, cutting off the two thick iron chains of the two arms that tied the drawbridge like broken wood, causing the outer end of the drawbridge to fall on the opposite bank of the moat.

As the drawbridge fell, the boundless darkness outside the city suddenly lit up with torches like stars in the sky, and the shouts of killing rang out.

At this moment, Wu Keyin, the county guard in Liyang City, was sitting in his study and meditating in his heart. Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of shouting and fighting, suddenly stood up from his seat, took a sword and went out of the study, and called more than a dozen relatives and generals to come out to inspect it.

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the house, they saw a group of people roaring with torches.

When Wu Ke saw the general who was the leader of the black horse immediately draped all over his body, and had a steel spear in his hand, his face changed greatly, and he shouted with a horizontal sword: "Duke Chu Guo, why did you break into Liyang City at night, dare you want to rebel?"

The person who came was Yang Xuangan, who was the Duke of Chu and the official of the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard Wu Ke's question, he laughed and said: "It's not that the official is rebelling, but the right Xiaowei general has come to protect his son." He has occupied the mouth of Donglai and wants to cut off the back route of His Majesty's Eastern Expeditionary Army. This official has received the grace of the country, and when this crisis exists, he should stand up, and I want to gather soldiers and horses from all counties in Liyang to jointly send a righteous division to fight the rebellion. Wu Junshou is willing to participate in the grand event with this official?"

Wu Ke scolded loudly: "What nonsense! How could the general who came to be a minister of His Majesty's subordinates do such a great rebellion? It is clear that you see that Your Majesty is going on a large-scale crusade to the east, and the domestic army is empty, and you want to take the opportunity to make trouble, how can this official be in the same stream as you?"

Yang Xuangan sneered and said: "Since you refuse to correspond to your own officials, you must be in the same party as the rebel to protect your son!

Before the words fell, the shadow of the flower appeared strangely from the shadows behind Wu Ke, the folding fan in his hand was as sharp as a knife, and with a slight wave, Wu Ke's eyes were still angry and his head rose to the sky.
