This day is February 19th in the ninth year of Shenwu. After the heavy snowfall, the weather in Jinling has gradually begun to warm up. By February 19th, it is no longer as cold as the deep winter.

In the second half of the night, the chaos in Jinling City had reached its peak. As the Ministry of War guard ordered the soldiers to evacuate, the news quickly spread to the ears of all the soldiers, and they evacuated southward. This was the last order they received, which meant

The Ministry of War has abandoned the city of Jinling, which means that the Manichaeans attacked Jinling with several times the force, and the 10,000 defenders of the Ministry of War were simply dying in vain.

The four doors were wide open, and the prefect's mansion and the general's mansion were also in chaos. Zhang Jingzhi packed up his belongings in a hurry, took several carriages and fled south quickly, escorted by three thousand soldiers, and found the headquarters of the Ministry of War.

The troops can protect themselves.

He Yuepan also brought out three thousand soldiers, but was besieged by the Manichaeans in the west of the city. Under the leadership of a woman, none of the three thousand soldiers were killed, and only a thousand people escaped with He Yuepan.

, and his three concubines were also scattered in this conflict. Although He Yuepan was a military commander, he had been in Jinling for ten years and was no longer the He Yuepan he was back then. Although his power was still there, he could not stop it.

Live with the general trend.

"Brother Zhou, it seems that the military advisor's move is really good. He took down Jinling City without any effort. Brother Zhou, you are the first to share this kind of credit..." The short and thin man bent down and chuckled.

With a smile, he opened the door of a room in the alley.

"Haha, this credit belongs to our military advisor, how can it be attributed to us..." As soon as the man entered the door, he was frightened by the person in front of him and couldn't help but stop.

The person behind him looked up, then squinted his eyes. He stepped into the courtyard and closed the door behind him. In the dark night, through the red lantern in front of the house, he could clearly see the person in front of him. Suddenly

As if he remembered something, he couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"Have you found anyone?" The man spoke, but it was a woman's voice. Standing next to him was a handsome man with two daggers in his arms.

"No... not yet..." The leading man hesitated a little, cupped his hands, and did not dare to look into the woman's eyes.

These three people were the first to break the city. The thin and short man was named Du Qian. His physical skills were average, but he was excellent at light kung fu. He was perfect for preventing fire. The tall and sturdy man behind him was named Wu Hai.

, he practices foreign martial arts, he is wearing a bronze head and iron arms, and he is defensive

Surprisingly, the leader in the middle is called Zhou Xuming. His cultivation has reached the level of a first-class master and his mind is relatively careful. He is a disciple of Baoguang Tathagata Deng Yuanjue. He is also quite prestigious in the army. He was selected to participate in the destruction of the city this time.

In order to make achievements.

"Why don't you look for it quickly? If anything goes wrong, I will ask the old monk myself." The woman shouted coldly.

The three of them handed over their hands and hurriedly retreated.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, this..." Du Qian scratched his head, not knowing where to start.

"You are the only one who has seen this place. If you don't go, who will?" Zhou Xuming lifted Du Qian up and threw him up. Du Qian sighed and slipped away from the eaves helplessly.

There were still some officers and soldiers on the street who did not evacuate. Some of them surrounded a few Manichaeans and hacked them to death. The next moment they were surrounded by more Manichaeans and became the victims of other people's swords. And these Manichaeans

As soon as the members of the congregation saw the Gaomen Courtyard, they would rush in and loot everything. If anyone dared to resist, they would just kill them with a knife without caring.

Under the protection of the two of them, Jiang Ning hugged Bai Yiyi and turned back from the path towards his residence. He screamed when he saw someone passing by on the eaves, then turned back, and then returned to the way he came.

Jiang Ning has accelerated his pace again, and the Green Forest people are also involved. The Manichaeism is already determined to conquer Jinling before it can give up, but little is known about other situations.

From the mouths of these two people, Jiang Ning learned that the Manichaeans had been hiding in the mountains a hundred miles away. After capturing Hejian Town, they directly blocked all entrances and exits. Two days later, they marched hundreds of miles in one day.

Arrive outside the city at night and wait

When arrows were fired into the city, they began to attack the city. A thousand people had been lurking in the city for half a month, blocking fires at the east, west, and north gates, creating chaos, attracting officers and soldiers to rescue, and then quickly gathering at the south gate, front and rear

Under attack

, the three thousand defenders probably wouldn’t be able to hold out for even half an hour, and the sights Jiang Ning saw along the way were far more than a thousand Manichaeans. This shows that Nancheng has been destroyed, and the Manichaeans may

The city has already been invaded. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect it to be so fast. Today, Nangong Mansion's birthday, is naturally an excellent opportunity. There is no need to kill any officials, as long as it can create enough chaos.

Help the Manichaeans siege the city.

Attack from inside and outside, attack in chaos, crush with absolute superiority of troops, sweep away the resistance forces, and complete all this within a few days after changing defenses. Behind the scenes, whether it is the planning of Saint Gong Fangla or the ideas of his military advisers and staff, it is enough to see his thoughts

So meticulous, while Jiang Ning was sighing, Bai Yiyi was also gradually losing body temperature. This killing was obviously done ruthlessly, Nangong Yaowen...

"Sir, that man is following us..." After a man opened the door, he suddenly frowned and dodged toward the roof.

Jiang Ning frowned. He was not a high-ranking person, and the place he lived was an ordinary residence. How could he attract others' attention?

Erqianxun walked out of the house, took Bai Yiyi, and entered the house with Jiang Ning.

Wang Ruoyan was still in shock. The two shopkeepers He and Zhang blocked the door. Yue Ya and Xing'er helped Wang Ruoyan sit on the chair. After the two brothers Wang Zihan and Wang Ruoyan learned what happened outside from Wang Ruoyan's mouth, they also felt a sense of disaster.

The feeling of the rest of my life, originally the two of them were going to the Eighteen Music Hall, but they stayed to study because of Jiang Ning's request, but they didn't expect that something like this happened.

When Erqianxun appeared in front of everyone holding Bai Yiyi's body, Wang Ruoyan stood up suddenly and exclaimed, his face instantly turned pale, and the two brothers Wang Zihan saw such peerless appearance, but their beauty disappeared, and even more

It's a pity that the shouts of killing outside are still continuing and getting more and more intense. From time to time in the house, you can hear the screams and the sound of weapons clashing, and even the cry of children, but that sound is...

Stopped abruptly...

The man behind the throne closed the door with a knife in his hand: "Sir, I'm Li Qing, I'm afraid Jinling..."

"The boat has been arranged, but I still don't know what the situation is at the ferry. When I came back, I captured a soldier. He said that Ren Jun had ordered to withdraw south. The four gates were wide open, and Zhang Jingzhi and He Yuepan also left.

I'm afraid I have to go south to join up with Ren Jun's 10,000 troops before making plans. They will take control of the ferry tomorrow morning at the latest, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave after that."

Everyone looked confused under Erqianxun's explanation. They didn't know who this person was, who was holding the knife behind him, and what the ferry meant...

"Brother-in-law, we are going to..."

Jiang Ning glanced at Wang Zihan, then at Bai Yiyi's body on the table, and said: "The incident happened suddenly. There are various reasons that cannot be explained in detail. You can believe this person. Now that the Manichaeans have invaded Jinling, the guarding sergeant

If they flee without fighting, Jinling will be captured soon. No one will know what they will do to Jinling then.

Road. So we must leave as soon as possible and follow the waterway to places they have not captured yet. The farther south, the better. Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenjiang, or Fujian Prefecture are all suitable. Find a place to settle down and stay safe. The situation in Hangzhou

It’s not clear now, so it’s best not to go back yet, she will make arrangements for the journey.”

Erqianxun nodded: "You can just follow me, it's just Young Master..."

"I will work with you. If something unexpected happens, I will stop and you will go first."

"But……"
