Chapter Twenty-Three: The General

The arrows of the eunuchs and palace maids were quickly used up, this was just a habit of the Son of Jincheng, but I didn't expect that at this time, it could only be resisted for a while, and the black snake still ran straight after the arrows were finished. Seeing that he was about to get closer, an inconspicuous eunuch beside the Son of Heaven of Jincheng flew forward, not holding a weapon in his hand, but the ten fingers of his hands were all with prosthetic armor, slender, sharp and sharp.

The eunuch used all the obscene and insidious moves that those who practiced martial arts were ashamed of, and within five moves, one would attack his crotch, and the sinister moves and ghostly steps were entangled with the snake-eyed man. The rest of the Black Snake continued to run towards the Son of Heaven in Jincheng, the eunuch had already fought with the snake-eyed man, and it would be very difficult to get out again, as long as the eunuch retreated to defense, the snake-eyed man attacked his way, so that he could not go back to the rescue, so he had to attack the snake-eyed man with his backhand. Most of the snake-eyed people dodge and don't have too many tricks with this eunuch.

At this time, Jiang Musheng took more than 50 people who were looking for the city with him to kill behind the snake-eyed man, and the snake-eyed man flew into Jiang Musheng's team with one foot, and in an instant, blood and stumps flew all over the sky, and the screams were endless, which made people feel creepy.

These dozens of people, including Jiang Musheng, were all killed by the snake-eyed people, and the blood soaked the ground. Seeing that there was a gap, the eunuch flew back to defend himself and cut the throats of five or six black snakes. The Golden Praetorian Guard also drew half of its men back to defend themselves, and the front became more difficult to resist.

The snake-eyed man ran to the Son of Heaven in Jincheng covered in blood, and the eunuch was surrounded by many black snakes and could not get out. Lu Yunli was ready at this time, only to see the snake-eyed people jump into the Golden Praetorian Guard, these people couldn't stop the Black Snake Heavenly Robbery Knife, and killed seven or eight Golden Praetorian Guards in an instant. Another rise and fall, jumping into the crowd, his footsteps did not stop, jumped directly above the Son of Heaven of Jincheng, raised the Heavenly Tribulation Knife and slashed at the Son of Heaven.

Lu Yunli had already aimed at the snake-eyed man, pretending to be completely incapable of martial arts, shrinking his head, blocking his face with his left hand, and holding a burning stick in his right hand to stab the snake-eyed man's heart like an ink heart. The lightning-like blow caught the snake-eyed man off guard, and he was repelled by this stick for dozens of steps, and hit the heart accurately, and suddenly felt the qi and blood in the body rolling, bent over, and pressed the heart position with his left hand to regulate the true qi in the body.

Jincheng Tianzi thought that he was in a catastrophe, but he didn't expect to be saved by someone he hadn't seen before, and he was very grateful.

After all, he was a master among the black snakes, and he quickly adjusted the true qi in his body, and rushed into the melee with his knife in his hand. The snake-eyed man was too suspicious, afraid that he would still want to attack rashly like just now, and he didn't know what kind of tricks were waiting, thinking that the soldiers outside would not come to the rescue, and only the less than two hundred golden janissaries were left, and a little bit of nibble could be eaten.

The Snake-Eyed Man analyzed the situation and rushed into the crowd of the Golden Praetorian Guard, and with a Heavenly Tribulation Knife, the Golden Praetorian Guard kept falling. With the strength of one person, it was difficult for the entire Praetorian Guards in the rear to resist, with high martial arts and fast sword skills, everyone present had been shocked by the evil aura of this snake-eyed man and had no combat effectiveness.

The Golden Praetorian Guard in the rear saw that there were only a few dozen people left who were struggling to hold on, and at this time there was no hope for reinforcements, so they could only rely on themselves. The Black Snake also lost half of its people at this time, and the two teams in front and behind were desperately attacking the Jincheng Heavenly Son who was surrounded by everyone in the middle.

At this time, Lan Ji suddenly woke up, got up and sat up on the table, just got up, and the wound was already in severe pain. first glanced at Jincheng Tianzi's wellness, and then looked at the surrounding situation. The sitting position changed to a squatting position ready to jump, aiming at the place where the black snake behind him was the most, regardless of his physical condition, he jumped out and jumped into the team of the black snake behind. He grabbed the head of a black snake with his powerful right hand and pressed it heavily to the ground, and his brain burst like a meteor falling from the sky. Lan Ji didn't let go of his hand, wielding the corpse of the black snake, even if it wasn't a weapon, it had a thousand pounds of strength. The black snakes dodged backwards, and only Lan Ji and the corpse in his hand were in the circle.

The corpse in Lan Ji's hand was picked up faster and faster, and the black snake on the side was thrown out with all his strength, although it was flesh and blood, it couldn't be stopped at all, and more than a dozen black snakes were smashed away by the corpse together. Then Lan Ji didn't stop, reached out and picked up the Heavenly Tribulation Knife that the black snake had just dropped on the ground, and danced wildly in the black snake's team alone, the wounds on his body had been shattered when he jumped, and the black snake had not hurt him, but the blood had already stained the bandages on his body, and it was constantly overflowing. Because of the arrow wound on his left shoulder, he couldn't use his strength, so he could only use his right hand, only one hand, and the power and speed of the cut were not low-grade for ordinary black snakes. Lan Ji's blood-red eyes were in the center of the black snake, like a wounded giant bear surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.

Lan Ji's bravery infected the remaining Golden Praetorian Guards, and their morale suddenly increased greatly, and what was originally defensive turned into a fierce counterattack, and the Black Snake people were already afraid in their hearts when they saw such a god-like figure. The people of the Black Snake are not afraid of death, and the feeling of fear is not something that can be resisted with death, but a force that is more irresistible than death.

The snake-eyed man saw that his subordinates had lost their fighting spirit, and felt that it was really difficult to succeed this time, and blew the cry of a small whistle that had been in his mouth, as crisp as a yellow bird. The cold-eyed black snake, which was inseparable from Dongyang, also blew the whistle in his mouth in response, and the black snake everyone fought and retreated, all of them turned out of the palace and disappeared into the darkness.

Seeing that all the black snakes had retreated, Lan Ji put his mind at ease, took two steps back, shook his body and wanted to sit on the ground, but due to excessive blood loss, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

The Son of Heaven Jincheng took the Imperial Doctor and ran a few steps to Lan Ji's side, and the Imperial Doctor looked at it and said, "It was the wound that was opened, causing excessive blood loss." The new wound is fine. Everyone carried Lan Ji back to the table just now, and the imperial doctor changed his dressing and bandaged his wounds.

The Son of Heaven sent people outside the palace to see why the 100,000 soldiers he brought came to the rescue. Several Wenchen received the order and walked out of the palace quickly, and when they stepped out of the gate of the palace, these people were dumbfounded. Seeing that all the soldiers were asleep, and some were still holding steamed porridge in their hands, the entire 100,000 soldiers were quietly fascinated.

The Son of Heaven of Jincheng was alive and dead, and he was indeed frightened by the situation just now, but after all, he was a son of heaven, so he quickly calmed down, arranged for his subordinates to clean up the mess, and issued an order that weapons could be carried in the palace.

Lu Yunli saw the black snake retreating, and went to look for Hua Feihua first, worried about whether there would be anything wrong in the chaos, and opened the door of Hua Feihua's room only to find that his worries were completely superfluous, Hua Feihua was drinking wine and eating side dishes in his room, and sat next to him with a cigarette.

Lu Yunli saw that he was so calm, but Yiyan was obviously trembling with fear.

Hua Feihua asked, "How is the Son of Jincheng?" The voice was not loud, and only these three people could hear it.

Lu Yunli: "It's still alive, I saved his life." ”

Hua Feihua sighed, didn't speak, and continued to drink.

Lu Yunli knew that Hua Feihua was a little angry, if the Son of Heaven of Jincheng died in the Beiling Palace, the King of Beiling would know that his good life was over, and it was a trivial matter to be demoted to a commoner, and it was not good to protect the Son of Heaven, but the crime of killing the head, after his death, the whole family would be sold into slavery, and he would not be able to turn over for generations, this is what Hua Feihua wanted to see.

But Lu Yunli had no choice but to save the Son of Heaven of Jincheng at that time, if the Son of Heaven of Jincheng was killed, and Lan Ji had not woken up at that time, the leaderless dragons would definitely become a plate of scattered sand, and the black snake would not let go of himself after he succeeded, and he would definitely be captured. In order to protect himself, Lu Yunli also had to do it as a last resort.

After this battle, there were only eighty-three people left in the Golden Praetorian Guard, more than 200 people were killed in the Black Snake, and one hundred and five people were killed in the personal soldiers in the Beiling Palace. So many corpses were lying on the ground, some with only their throats cut, and some of their limbs and heads were unknown, and they couldn't piece together a single person.

Although the Son of Heaven of Jincheng was greatly frightened, he did not flinch, and as the Son of Heaven, this kind of battle was still intimidating. Arrange for the imperial doctor to be sure to heal Lan Ji and the wounded soldiers. The king of Beiling also personally commanded the servants in the palace to clean up, and when he cleaned up the two brothers Jiang Musheng and Zhang Evil Zhang Le, he let out a long sigh and ordered his subordinates to bury their bodies properly. The corpses of the Golden Praetorian Guards are also collected, and the Son of Heaven personally buries these Golden Praetorian Guards in accordance with the funeral rites of the highest soldiers, the so-called burial of soldiers is nothing more than a horse leather shroud, hastily into the soil, the honor of the soldiers lies in the victory of the battlefield, and the defeat and death of the soldiers with the horse leather shroud is a great honor, if the best coffin is used, the grand burial, this person is no longer a soldier in his bones.

After working all night like this, everyone dragged their tired bodies, and the son of Jincheng couldn't bear it anymore to return to the dormitory to rest. King Beiling still has internal injuries on his body, coupled with the fright and fatigue from last night, he already feels that he is about to collapse, at this time he remembered Tian Zihua, if his teacher is still there, he will definitely help him take care of most things.

Hua Feihua became the main person in charge of the palace at this time, and the king of Beiling saw Lu Yunli risking his life to save the Son of Heaven in Jincheng yesterday, and there was no one available, so he asked the two of them to manage the palace together.

Lu Yunli didn't go out to help clean up last night, and hid in Tian Zihua's hut and fell asleep. Hua Feihua also rested peacefully in her own room, and Yiyan was also there. Both were well rested and had enough energy to prepare for the next day.

At dawn, Lu Yunli went out with Moxin on his back, and Hua Feihua finished inspecting the palace and arranged the guards. Lu Yun left the kitchen to arrange a day's meals, and now the palace has no vitality in the past, and everyone is working in horror. Lu Yunli didn't know when the black snake would attack again.

After making proper arrangements, he took a special look at Lan Ji, only to see that Lan Ji's old injuries had recurred, and more than ten new wounds had been added to his body, and he was lying on the bed made of two square tables. Even though he was unconscious, he didn't moan at all, only his teeth clucked, and his sweat and blood melted together.
