Late at night, in the empty hall of the Loulan Palace, the dim candle clearly illuminated Hu Yan Yingong's bewildered face. He stood with his sword in hand, and bright red blood dripped down the smooth sword body.

He walked away, but where the sword tip was facing diagonally, there lay a corpse covered in blood. It was so blurry that his appearance could no longer be seen.

This was a young eunuch who came to report the news. Unfortunately, he brought bad news to Huyan Yingong, and also unfortunately brought disaster to himself.

"The Han Empire? Isn't this legendary Celestial Empire already in a state of war? How can it still have such a huge force? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Damn the Han Empire! The lonely king is going to fight you! Damn it! Damn it! You all should go to hell!"

"No, don't kill me. I am the noble Huyan clan of Loulan Kingdom. I have destiny, so don't kill me!"

"Oh God! Who will save me?"

Anger, panic, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions like tides enveloped Hu Yan Ying Gong's mind tightly. Sometimes he talked to himself, sometimes danced his sword manically, sometimes cowered in panic, and sometimes kowtowed to the sky.

In the corners of the palace, eunuchs and palace maids stood one by one, trembling. The king's anger was too much for them to bear... The lessons from the past were at the king's feet, and they did not want to follow in his footsteps.

But the death of Wu Duyong caused His Highness Loulan, who was determined to revitalize the royal family, to fall into madness. His eyes were filled with hazy blood, and his violent blood caused his muscles to squirt. Only killing could free him! He held a sword in his hand.

He made this crazy feeling become more and more violent. He was about to go forward and massacre a few palace maids and eunuchs to relieve his anger, but unexpectedly, there was an urgent sound of horse hooves outside the door, which woke him up from the mania again.

"Your Highness! Several elders in the city are very disappointed with your decision this time! Could you please go to the elders' hall to discuss it?" The person who came was the city gate official Baal. He is a close confidant of the elders and is only temporarily under Wu Duyong.

A general in charge of military power.

As soon as Wu Duyong died, Baal took responsibility and became the boss of the city. He no longer had any scruples, and even dared to ride into the palace. His arrogant attitude was evident.

Even in front of Hu Yan Yingong, the King of Loulan, he stood tall and straight, glaring at Hu Yan Yingong with a pair of sideways eyes, without any scruples. The stinking smell of his breath rushed directly into the nostrils of His Highness the King of Loulan.

"Presumptuous!" Hu Yanyin Gong never expected that this guy who usually seemed quite respectful would dare to do this to him. Suddenly, his decadent and dead heart suddenly exploded, and the blood flowed rapidly in the blood vessels, and the whole picture

His face was distorted, his veins were exposed, and his eyes were red. Without thinking, he let out a muffled groan and stabbed straight at him with the sword in his hand, lighting up the palace with a ray of light.

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing. The weapons collided. Hu Yan's power of bowing and bowing was far from Baal's opponent, and the sword in his hand was knocked away.

He actually dared to fight back! Hu Yan bowed his head with disheveled hair and glared at him with ferocious eyes. Barr showed a trace of ridicule at the corner of his mouth and stared back. The sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc and was put into the scabbard. He said coldly: "

Your Highness, you

The most loyal Dharma protector King Wu Duyong has died on the Kongque River. Only a few elders have the final say in the city. The majesty of the royal family has been reduced to this day. Don't you feel shameful, but you still find vent in the ministers? How ridiculous! Ridiculous.

!”

To be ridiculed by his subordinates, Hu Yanyin Gong felt as if he had suffered the greatest humiliation in his life. His eyes seemed to be dripping with blood, his whole hair exploded, a buzzing sound rang in his ears, and his whole body almost exploded.

Forgetting life and death at this moment, he turned sideways and bumped into Barr: "Traitor! The lonely king will die with you!"

"Plop!" Barr turned around easily, making way for a vacant seat, and let the king who had been a little afraid of him fall to the ground with a crash. He seemed to be looking at a clown, and let out a few weird laughs, and then

He suppressed his smile, pointed coldly at the shrinking little eunuchs around him and said, "Hurry up and help His Highness up..."

After venting his courage, there was only a cold feeling all over his body. He seemed to have lost all the strength to draw his bow, and the sharp eyes just now disappeared. Even though the emboldened and panicked eunuch helped him with trembling hands, he had no strength to curse.

.

"This is the right thing!" Baer looked at Huyan being helped up with his bow, and immediately turned around and left. He vaguely knew the elders' plan. Prince Masai who was in the hands of the Liangzhou people outside the city might replace Huyan.

His Highness Yingong's new master, Huyan Yingong, has lost his due status since the moment Wudu Yong died in battle.

"I'm wronged, my highness!" After Hu Yan Yingong was carried outside the palace, he was almost forcibly mounted on a horse by the warriors outside the palace. The leader Baer looked at Hu Yan Yingong for the last time with a condescending smile and whipped his whip.

Move forward.

"Da da da!" The crisp sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in this majestic palace, as if it was a great mockery to the Huyan clan of the Loulan royal family who had been in power for many years.

Tonight, a fire beside the Peacock River not only ignited a flame that reached the sky, causing the loss of all the elites of the Loulan Kingdom, but also brought the Loulan royal family to destruction.

In the early morning, Zeng Yu stepped into this commercial city under the awed eyes of Loulan people. The aristocratic bosses in the city clapped their hands one by one, bowed their heads and watched in awe as the new owner moved in.

Ni Zheng, the Loulan envoy whom he met once last year, was mixed in the crowd, watching the master of Liangzhou enter the city with eyes flashing with awe and fear.

"Unexpectedly, this Liangzhou person actually dared to step into the Western Region!" Ni Zheng took a deep breath and broke away from the squeezing crowd, with a hopeful look in his eyes. Their family is a small family in the city.

, it was just last year that Hu Yan Yingong chose him as Loulan’s envoy on a whim, and went to Han Dynasty to do business, but he did not expect to make friends with Liangzhou.

Some powerful generals, such as Wang Han who is walking around, is a Liangzhou general he once made friends with. This is a big opportunity! If he can develop with the support of Liangzhou people, wouldn't he be able to develop in Loulan Kingdom?

Are you so prosperous? Thinking of this, the cold face that was as stiff as a piece of white mud suddenly turned red. This was the light of excitement.

Just when Ni Zheng was worried, the Liangzhou army was already entering the city one after another. The Liangzhou army had strict orders and would not offend the people. They entered the city without looking sideways, and rode into the city on high horses, majestic and high-spirited.

The faces of the merchants and aristocrats at the city gate were hard to find. Representatives of several big families in the city, such as the Guo family, the Hengsi family, and the Lu Feng family, all gathered at the city gate with bitter expressions on their faces. As a rich man in the city, although he was forced to open the city gate under pressure,

But this feeling is definitely not a good one.

The head of the Guo family, Guo Tian, ​​pretended to smile while welcoming Zeng Yu and other Liangzhou generals to the Loulan Palace, while secretly crying in his heart. This is their own home! Even the Loulan Palace is where they usually discuss politics!

Zeng Yu didn't care about the thoughts of the conquered. He sat on a tall horse, observed the scene of the bustling streets, and nodded secretly. This Loulan City is indeed a commercial city, much taller than other cities in Loulan Kingdom.

few.

However, except for some merchants and aristocratic families who came to welcome them, no one in the city seemed to welcome them. Every house on the street closed their doors and there was no one on the street.

On the other side of Zeng Yu's march towards the Loulan Palace, Prince Masai happily led Liangzhou generals Yan Xing, Fu Hao, and Wang Han, leading the Liangzhou soldiers and horses to occupy the large and small military buildings in Loulan City.

Loulan City is also a place where Prince Masai often comes. Although he is a branch of the royal family, he knows where the palace is, where the barracks are, where the granary is, where the post station is, and where the yamen is. He doesn't care about a few noble elders.

He only cared about his own interests. As soon as he entered the city, he did not hesitate to lead the Liangzhou people to occupy these key points and disarmed the soldiers in the city. In his eyes, this was already the city of Prince Tamasai.

General Barr, who led the palace coup last night, was following Prince Marseille and his party like a lapdog today, and he also acted as a traitorous leader.

"My lords, thank you for your hard work! Our Loulan City is just a little big... Thank you for your hard work, lords!" After the Liangzhou people had taken over all the military buildings in the city, Baal leaned against the leader with a flattering expression.

Behind General Yan Xing, he looked like he was eager to pledge himself to him...

Yan Xing did not take care of him. After the counting and reception, the number of soldiers in Loulan City actually reached nearly 200,000. This is a huge number. If it is not handled well, it may cause a mutiny. You must know that Liangzhou

With only 300,000 people pouring into the Western Region, there are simply not enough troops to guard these Loulan soldiers. However, if they are not guarded, if trouble occurs at night, it will be a fatal blow to the Liangzhou people.

Fuhao saw Yan Xing's worry and placed the cold gun on the neck of Barr, who was smiling disgustingly: "General Barr, your army of 200,000 is extremely bloated! How do you think we should arrange it?

good?"

The sharp tip of the gun penetrated the cold chill that invaded the skin, inch by inch, inch by inch, and inch by inch, approaching the throat. Barr's arrogant and domineering mood yesterday not only did not reappear, but was frightened to death. He knew these cold

The people of the state are not like that cowardly king, but they have come here with the conquest of blood and fire. This is definitely not a joke. He can feel that if there is a slightest hesitation, the big gun will definitely pierce his throat.

"...General...Sir..." Barr was almost paralyzed with fear. His voice was trembling. He was thinking quickly about how to solve the suspicions of the Liangzhou people. His voice changed: "Have mercy...have mercy. I will do this for you."

solve."

Baal's coward made Yan Xing shake his head. He had heard that General Loulan had the guts to carry out a palace coup yesterday. He thought he was a special figure and specifically asked Masai to summon him to his side. However, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Such a coward, so disappointing.

"Okay! Master Fuhao, you don't have to scare him anymore. Put down the gun and talk nicely!" Yan Xing knew what Zeng Yu meant. He came to conquer the countries in the Western Regions, not to commit any terrorist acts.

Therefore, the 200,000 Loulan soldiers must be dealt with in a stable manner, and absolutely no accidents can occur. Of course, Baal cannot cause any trouble, otherwise something will happen to the supreme commander of the Loulan Kingdom, and these soldiers will panic.

When I got up, I really didn’t know what to do.

Fu Hao curled her lips, swung the big gun, and took it back to her side. Coming to the Western Region, this Fu Hao, who was dedicated to making achievements, was eager to kill and fight, but she didn't expect that this big battle would end before it even started.

An army of 100,000! If used to fight against her, how much experience value can it bring to her?

Wang Han on the side just looked coldly at the 200,000 prisoners waiting neatly in the school grounds. He gently pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and there was an evil spirit between his brows. His duty was to take good care of these prisoners and not let them go to Liangzhou.

Rule brings chaos. He has no idea what the two superior officials next to him are thinking, and he doesn't want to know.

But for Baal, Yan Xing and Fu Hao's happiness and anger can determine his life and death. He didn't know what the two big guys planned, so he could only rack his brains to think of countermeasures. This has to be said to be a ridicule. Last night, he wanted to

When the Liangzhou people entered the city, they did not hesitate to tear up their former king. Today, because of the intimidation of the Liangzhou people, he

He racks his brains to deal with his subordinates, and he is the most shameless person in the world. In fact, this is just a reflection of the mentality of most people in the Western Regions, and Barr is just one of them. The Western Regions emphasize business over righteousness, and the so-called morality and loyalty are all

It can be sold for gold. This is the reality of commercial society. How can Barr be an exception?

"Two generals, you don't need to worry too much, it's just a small problem!" Under Yan Xing's piercing eyes, or under the strong murderous intention surrounding Yan Xing, Baal

Finally, I had a quick wit and regained my composure.

He began to ramble: "Our Loulan is actually a dynasty without its own army. Although we Loulan people are the rulers, our consumption in Loulan is extremely expensive, our living standards are very high, and our population does not account for the vast majority of the Loulan Kingdom."

Majority, racial regeneration under rule

Miscellaneous, where are the Loulan people willing to eat military rations? Even if they are villains, they are just family inheritance, and they have just put on this layer of iron armor... Of these 200,000 troops, there are very few Loulan people who are really nothing more than Loulan people! Most of them are

He is an aristocratic elder in the city. He was recruited from various places with huge sums of money.

The mercenaries who came here do not necessarily have to recognize us Loulan people as rulers. Anyway, they will follow whoever feeds them... Their loyalty to Loulan is not die-hard at all. The two generals do not need to worry about what they will do.

Worried about the fall of Loulan and the rebellion!"

"Tsk tsk!" Fu Hao looked at Baal up and down with a look of surprise, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the betrayal is clean! Even the characteristics of your own soldiers and horses have been betrayed! Then what bargaining chips do you have? This deal

It shows that you are not a qualified businessman!"

Baal was ridiculed by his wife, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, his face turned red and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Yan Xingke didn't care what Baer thought, he just shook his head and said coldly: "I don't recognize you Loulan people, but I recognize the money! We Liangzhou people don't have that much gold to support these mercenaries! Without receiving money, these mercenaries

What should I do if a quarrel breaks out?"

Baer came over and whispered: "Keep those who can be used, and kill or imprison those who are prone to disloyalty. As for those who have no fighting ability, they will be expelled on the spot! Regardless of the number of people, in fact, there are no people fishing in troubled waters inside, and there are no bounties.
