The 30,000 troops who had been fighting for a long time in the day fell asleep together with the night. The entire Beiyang Imperial City was surprisingly quiet, and there was no movement except for the occasional sound of a few bangs and clamors.
There is a huge courtyard in the northern territory of the imperial city, which is the granary of the entire imperial city.
Due to the war outside the city, there were not many defenders here, most of them were transferred to the city tower, and only some elderly, weak, sick and disabled were left.
In the night, a group of people covered in black quietly touched the place. There were about twenty or thirty people. All of them were holding a tiny blade in their hands, covered with green and poisonous poison.
Once blood is stained, the throat is sealed.
The two soldiers guarding were gradually trapped. They placed their weapons aside and rubbed their eyes exhaustedly.
A bright color passed by the night, and a trace of ominous premonition suddenly rose in the soldier's heart.
"Who?" The soldier's fatigue suddenly disappeared. He held the steel spear in his hand tightly, and his hands trembled slightly.
A cold light flashed, and a blood-red mark appeared on the necks of the two soldiers. Before the two soldiers could make a cry, they collapsed straight down.
Dead.
"Quick, hurry, hurry." The man in black waved at the others, and then twenty or thirty men in black rushed into the granary.
"set fire."
Twenty or thirty men in black all held flammable and explosive items such as "Tian Lei Zi" and "Fire Talisman". After the leader's order, they were thrown into the granary.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
After the continuous explosions, the sky-sky fire illuminated the dark night sky.
The black smoke rolls, and the smell of burnt food can be smelled everywhere.
After setting the fire, twenty or thirty men in black did not withdraw immediately. They took out their weapons and hid near the granary.
Not far away, a team of more than 400 people arrived quietly, divided into four parts, hiding around the granary.
The residents of the imperial capital discovered the fire. Without anyone's organization, they picked up their buckets and washbasins and spontaneously rescued the fire. The fire was not big, and it was only a granary that was burned.
Even so, it still alarmed the new Beiyang King Beido Jiko who had already fallen asleep.
Under the escort of Li Mo, Tuoba Fu, Qianmo and others, Beido Jiju rushed over with a team of fifty people. He didn't care much about how much food was burned. The key was that the enemy's siege at this moment, and the people in the imperial city could not be confused.
"The king is here!"
Renrenmao shouted, and the people saw it and knelt down one after another.
"You don't have to be too polite. You are all meritorious ministers who put out fires. You should reward them according to your merits." After the death of Kitado Yuki, Kitado Jiko seemed to mature overnight.
While comforting the people, he listened to the report of the subordinate.
The fire was not serious, it only burned dozens of stones of food, which was irrelevant. Kitado Jiko let out a secret breath, and then a bad premonition arose in her heart.
The enemy's purpose is not to burn the granary, so...
"Not good!" Kitado Jiko shouted and hurriedly planned to leave here.
Just at this moment, within a mile, five hundred assassins shouted and killed them from the darkness.
"Protect the King!" Tuoba Fu roared, and fifty guards surrounded Kitado Jima in the center.
After Tuoba Fu and Qianmo were surrendered by Ye Junlin, they were arranged to join the Imperial Guard. Qianmo became the commander of the "Ma Junsi" and Tuoba Fu became the personal guard of Beitang Jiju, loyal to him.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
In the endless darkness, hundreds of poisonous crossbow arrows shot from all directions like locusts flying all over the sky.
Many people who had no time to escape were shot by the crossbow arrows and died instantly. Fifty guards all pulled out their swords and pushed the crossbow arrows aside.
After the first wave of crossbow arrows, all five hundred assassins rushed up.
The leader was Deng Enming. At this moment, he was determined to die and used as the first paving stone for Beitangjun's great career path.
The ratio of sergeants from 50 to 50 was very different. Even so, none of the Kitado Jiko's personal guards retreated.
The soldiers on both sides did not take action, but just confronted each other secretly.
Just then, a proud smile came from the darkness.
"My stupid brother, you are already surrounded. Surrender obediently and give up your unnecessary struggle."
"Beitang Jun!"
Kitado Jiko was a little shocked. He didn't expect Kitado Jun would personally participate in the assassination.
"It seems you're taking a gamble."
Kitado Jiju quickly recovered from his calmness. He looked at Kitado Jun with a smile on his face.
Beitangjun sneaked in and came to assassinate himself, which shows that his army is almost done.
"You think you can kill me." Kitado Jiko said with a smile.
"I can." Beitangjun answered with great confidence.
"Then let's try it."
With the order from Beitangjun, five hundred assassins fought in an instant. Various mysterious lights bloomed in the sky, and the night sky was completely illuminated.
Although the number of people on the side of Kitado Jiko is less than that on the side of Kitado Jun. However, these fifty people are all the elite among the elites. They can still barely tie the battle ratio of one to ten.
Under Tuoba Fu's command, Kitado Jiju and his guards hid in a private house.
Five hundred assassins entered many times, but were all beaten out.
Three hundred assassins were left with 350 people, and Kitado Jiko's side also paid the price of seventeen.
"Clang!"
Kitado Jiko pulled out the "Snow Drinking Crazy Sword", and a cold blue light column instantly rushed into the sky.
"Everyone hold on. In a short while, General Ye and General Wei will come to save us." Kitado Jiko shouted loudly.
"Swear to protect the king to the death!" Tuoba Fu took the lead and shouted, and the morale of the thirty-three guards rose in an instant.
Seeing that his subordinates had been unfavorable for many attacks, Beitang Jun couldn't help but panic. The longer the time was delayed, the more unfavorable it would be for him.
If Wei Ye arrives, I'm afraid he will have to explain it here.
"Kill me, kill me. Who can cut off the head of Beitang Jiju, reward 100,000 Xuan Crystals, and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses!"
Most of the five hundred assassins in Beitangjun were desperate people, not polite, righteous, honest and shame, but only regard fame and fortune. When Beitangjun promised such a generous reward, these desperate people were like chicken blood, waving their weapons, and rushing up like wild wolves.
Tuoba Fu was shocked, and the long bows in his hand were opened one after another. Arrows shining with colorful mysterious lights flew out, and the leading assassins died instantly.
The assassin army just hesitated for a moment, and then rushed up with a more terrifying aura...
