Shen Tuwei came back in a panic. If he hadn't been wearing the military uniform of Ganjun, it would have been even more difficult for him to escape at this moment.
I originally thought it would be an easy task to complete. As long as we find Emperor Qianwen, we will be successful. At that time, the Qian army will be leaderless, and the Jin army will launch a massive attack. After taking advantage of the chaos to capture Dingzhou, they will go straight to Daliang and force them to surrender. Complete the master's great deeds. Unexpectedly, Emperor Qianwen had a master beside him.
Although through the fight, Shentu realized that Dai Mubai had only just become a grandmaster and could not use all his strength skillfully, but he was still a grandmaster. In the end, he still pestered him so that he could not be distracted, and a large number of golden armored guards arrived. the appearance of.
During the process, Emperor Qianwen was indeed almost in danger. The ten golden armored guards and four emperor's guards around him were killed by eight dead soldiers regardless of the cost. In the end, all the golden armored guards were killed, and two of the emperor's guards also died. .Seeing that victory was right in front of their eyes, everyone ignored the fact that Emperor Qianwen himself was also a master of energy transformation.
He didn't take action before, just because he was the emperor and didn't want to stand under a dangerous wall. When someone threatened his life, he finally launched a counterattack, and it was a fierce counterattack.
God knows, how could Emperor Qianwen, who stayed in the palace every day and took pleasure in reviewing memorials, be a master of Huajin, and a late stage of Huajin?
When he launched a counterattack, with a sword in hand, he killed three dead soldiers in a row. Finally, a large number of golden armored guards appeared and the danger was averted.
When a large number of Jinjiawei soldiers appeared, Shentuwei knew that the mission could not be completed. Fortunately, he was also a master of hidden weapons. With a wave of his hands, countless hidden weapons were fired, killing several Jinjiawei, and he also took advantage of the chaos to escape. .
Fortunately, he had the armor as a cover, which prevented him from being recognized immediately. After rushing out of the government office, he was like a fish in the sea. Without the involvement of eight dead soldiers, he could escape alone and quickly. He went up a little faster, returned to the tower and slid out of the city along the long rope.
As soon as he left the city, Shen Tuwei was shocked to find a large number of cavalry coming from afar. Could it be that Qian Jun had arranged an ambush here?
The idea was just a fleeting thought, and was rejected by Shen Tu. Judging from the embarrassed look of Emperor Qianwen when he was surrounded before, it seemed that he had not prepared in advance, that is, it was not aimed at himself, he just wanted to stay and see what these cavalry were. Some people.
The cavalry coming was naturally Shen Ao and his party. When they arrived, the city of Dingzhou was already filled with torches and was in chaos.
Following the chaos were two thousand soldiers sent by the Jin army.
It's not necessarily true that there are two thousand soldiers. Most of them didn't even have weapons. They came here to create chaos and were not prepared for war at all. When they heard the cavalry suddenly rushing behind them, they also Was shocked.
"It's the Jin army, kill!" Shen Ao rushed to the city and naturally saw the two thousand enemies wearing Jin army uniforms. When he saw that they were not holding military flags but carrying war drums, they looked like a military band of later generations. Shen Ao was naturally not polite when he looked like this. He pointed his silver spear and led his army to charge towards him.
Poor these Jin troops, how could they have thought that it was not safe under the city, and how could they have thought that enemies would suddenly appear here?
Being completely unprepared, they were stunned on the spot. It wasn't until the Shanshan Guards rushed over that they instinctively dispersed and thought about running away.
How could the infantry be faster than the four-horse cavalry? In addition, the Shanshan Guards were all elite men. A one-sided massacre began. One Jin soldier after another was stabbed to the ground. One after another, the military flags with the word Jin written on them were thrown to the ground mercilessly, and some war drums were rolling on the ground, showing their embarrassment.
"What's going on? Why did the Jin army under the city start fighting on their own?" Under the city tower, some sharp-eyed soldiers looked puzzled when they saw this scene.
Someone asked, Shen Ao also rode to the city, holding a torch in his right hand to illuminate himself. "This is Shen Ao, the loyal Duke of Daqian. He has returned from killing the Jin army. Open the city gate quickly."
Shen Ao's shout could be heard far away in the dark night, and his appearance was fully revealed under the light of the torch.
"Loyal Lord Shen Ao!" In the corner below the city tower, Shen Tuwei saw all this, and his eyes lit up. He was worried that he had not assassinated Emperor Daqian this time and would not be able to go back to pay for the mission. Now If you can easily kill a prince, you won't be returning empty-handed.
After hehe sneered a few times, Shen Tuwei had a few more darts in his hand. Then he flicked his right hand and the darts shot towards Shen Aofei at the bottom of the city as if they had eyes.
"Who?" Just when the dart was shot, Xue Fei, who was standing next to Shen Ao and had been responsible for protecting her, let out a scolding voice, and then rushed towards Shen Ao who was riding the Dawan horse. Pounced over.
Just after Xue Fei and the two fell to the ground, the sound of breaking through the air followed. Most of the darts fell into the air, but one dart landed on Dawanma. Blood splattered on the body after being hit by the dart. Dawanma then began to twitch all over.
"The darts are poisonous." Xue Fei, who was supporting Shen Ao as he stood up, saw a burst of anger in his eyes when he saw this. She couldn't imagine that if she hadn't concentrated all her attention just now, she realized that the situation was wrong before the danger, and If Shen Ao was knocked down, what would happen if these poisonous darts pierced the young master's body.
Once something happens to Shen Ao, she will no longer have the need to live. This not only involves Aunt Xue's instructions and explanations, but also her lifelong emotions.
Thinking of these unbearable consequences, Xue Fei was about to get up and chase after him, but Shen Ao, who had just stood up, grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, now is not the time to chase him. This revenge will be avenged sooner or later."
Shen Ao's voice was so calm that Xue Fei, who was already very angry, calmed down unconsciously. Thinking that Shen Ao's safety came first, she could only nod in agreement and not chase the killer.
The scene that just happened under the city tower was seen by many soldiers. They only knew that Duke Zhongguo was knocked down on his horse. As for what happened next, none of them knew. At this time, the emperor also After boarding the tower, we learned from everyone what had just happened.
When he heard that Duke Zhongguo was under the tower and was being attacked, Emperor Qianwen was startled. He went to the tower and looked down, shouting loudly, "Is it Duke Zhongguo?"
Shen Ao also heard this familiar voice, so he picked up the torch on the ground and shone it on his face again to ensure that everyone could see him clearly in the dark night. "It is your Majesty, is it your Majesty?"
"Haha, it is indeed Duke Zhongguo. Come here, open the city gate." Emperor Qianwen used the torch to see who it was if it was not Shen Ao. He immediately laughed and ordered the city gate to be opened.
Less than half an hour later, Shen Ao brought Marquis Zhongcheng, who had suffered a leg injury, to the government office, appeared in front of Emperor Qianwen, and told him everything that happened in the process of rescuing his uncle.
"Okay, okay." I heard that Shen Ao first killed more than a thousand Jin troops, and then broke into the Jin camp. He didn't know how many people were killed, and now he killed nearly a thousand Jin troops under the city. Although this was still It was unable to reverse the overall situation, but it could be regarded as a heavy blow to the opponent. Emperor Qianwen was naturally happy.
From Shen Ao's retelling, the victory of this battle was all due to the efforts of the three hundred Shanshan Guards. Emperor Qianwen had the idea of keeping him by his side. After all, there was a serious imbalance in the strength of the two sides at this moment. The more strength you have around you, the more likely you are to win.
But before Emperor Qianwen could say anything, Marquis Zhongcheng, who was injured in his leg, couldn't help but wailed, "Ouch, the wound started to hurt again, it hurts so much."
Marquis Zhongcheng was definitely a manly man. He would not even frown even if a knife was held to his neck. How could he cry out in pain?
Shen Ao didn't know this. Seeing his uncle's painful appearance, he quickly clasped his fists towards Emperor Qianwen and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid my uncle's wound is hurting again. Please return to Daliang City now and seek treatment from a doctor."
"Old fox." Emperor Qianwen couldn't see through Zhongcheng Hou's tricks, but in this way, he couldn't keep anyone. Even if he could stay, he might not be here in his heart, so he decided to become a good person. , "Forget it, that's the case, Duke Zhongguo will take Marquis Zhongcheng back. By the way, the situation on the front line is probably not very good now, and new troops need to be recruited to help. Yan Fu, Cheng Bailin, and others are doing this. Regarding the matter, Duke Zhongguo can also help them after he returns."
"No, I'll take note of it." Shen Aolian clasped his fists and agreed. All his properties are in Daliang City. Once something happens in the city, he won't get any good results. Now helping Emperor Wen is helping himself. He Of course I will try my best.
"Okay, that's it. You guys have something hot to eat first. I have arranged for people to prepare it. Let's go on our way at dawn. Well, Duke Zhongguo will come to my study in a while. I have some things to discuss with you." Emperor Qianwen He nodded and said comforting words. Then he strode away. This time the Jin army failed to attack and kill them, and they were afraid that they would launch a strong attack next. The hard battle would probably begin after dawn.
...
Daliang City.
The emperor left for the expedition in person. Because he was in a hurry when he left, he did not have time to arrange everything in an orderly manner, so when he left, he called the two princes, King Qing and King Xiang, and asked them to jointly supervise the country and assist the administration, and work with the left and right servants and the internal affairs. Together with Prime Minister Du Jin, a total of five people formed a temporary supervision group.
Suddenly the mountain that was pressing down on him disappeared. For King Xiang, it was as if he had been reborn. He felt that his body felt a little lighter when he walked.
