"Don't be afraid! There is an ambush in the city. Everyone continues to defend here. Anyone who steps back will be killed!" Helian Changji shouted loudly to the soldiers who were fighting beside the wall, and then said to the retainers and guards around him.
: "Come along and follow me to the imperial city to defend against the enemy!"
"Your Highness, shouldn't we go to the east gate? Do you want me to go with you?" Ye Cai, the chief general stationed at the south gate, couldn't help but said anxiously when he saw Helian Changji leading his men to run straight to the imperial city.
Helian Changji paused for a moment, then whispered to Ye Cai: "We can't hold on anymore! Go to the imperial city immediately to pick up the queen mother and other concubines, and don't forget to bring Jiang Xing with you. We'll try to bring as many as possible.
Some people rushed out of the west gate!"
Ye Cai and Yelu Xingsheng, the two deputy heads of the wooden hall, were Helian Changji's most trusted confidants, so they were asked to take charge of the most important defense of the south and north walls. After thinking about it for a while, Helian Changji finally gave up.
Thinking of letting Ye Cai block him for a while, he decided to take away Helian Qingfeng and his wives and concubines while there was still some time, and fled westward. It was unlikely that He Qizhou's army, with its limited number, would split up its troops to catch up during the siege.
Own.
"Yes, Your Highness, you take the queen away first, and I will risk my life to take care of you!" Ye Cai said movedly.
"Don't worry about the treasures in the palace. Pick up the people and leave immediately. Let's go!" Helian Changji, who was already running quickly, glanced at He Qizhou beside the wall for the last time. After a sword shadow, the three old men who had sneak attacks fell down.
Got two.
…
Since the elite defenders in the east and west walls all went to the south gate, Yelu Xingsheng was unable to wait for reinforcements to arrive. The five hundred armored guards were unable to block the attack of the masters of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The north gate was breached within half a stick of incense, and he died miserably.
Under Yuwen Lingyun.
"Return without killing!" Yuwen Lingyun, who had just broken through the north gate and had Yelu Xingsheng in his hand, sent his masters to attack the imperial city while personally leading the cavalry. Amidst the chorus of persuasion to surrender, he galloped towards the east wall wherever he passed.
, there was little resistance, and it didn’t take long before two city gates were opened one after another from the inside to welcome the cavalry coming from the direction of the south gate. The combined cavalry continued to rush towards the defenders concentrated at the south gate!
The Eastern Zhou cavalry quickly rushed along the horse path inside the wall to the south wall and entered the battle. The Northern Zhou defenders, who were attacked from both inside and outside, were immediately in trouble. Because their coach Helian Changji was nowhere to be seen, they persisted for a short time before beginning to flee toward the west city.
He Qizhou, who had just killed three old men from the Emerging Spring Realm, was about to lead his army towards the imperial city when he suddenly received a report from the scout cavalry: "Helian Changji has fled from the west gate, taking with him about 3,000 people and dozens of carriages.
!”
He Qizhou looked at the enemy troops that were retreating to the west and blocking the road, and sighed: "The troops are still a little short. Send people to keep an eye on Helian Changji as much as possible. Let's capture the imperial city first."
…
"Go away! I'm not going anywhere!" Jiang Xing used her immature martial arts, which was no more than the fourth level, and brandished a scimitar she had stolen from somewhere, while fighting the six eunuchs who surrounded her.
Perhaps because they were afraid of hurting the newest concubine, facing the desperate Jiang Xing, the six eunuchs never dared to make a serious move, and the two sides actually formed a balance of power.
"Why haven't you taken it yet?" Ye Cai rushed in from outside the hospital angrily. He sent people to pick up the three imperial concubines and Jiang Xing at the same time, but the others had already left the imperial city, but Jiang Xing hadn't been picked up yet.
When they arrived, Ye Cai had to return to the palace from the team escorting the imperial concubine out of the city. At this time, the sounds of fighting could be clearly heard from the north gate of the palace.
Ye Cai knew that the group of Ouchi guards guarding the imperial city could not resist for long. After entering the hospital without saying a word, he passed by the two eunuchs, raised his finger in the air, and pointed at Jiang Xing, who was swinging his sword wildly.
"Hug him up, let's go!" Seeing Jiang Xing fall to the ground, Ye Cai immediately directed a eunuch to come forward and hug him, while he turned around and ran out the door.
The designated eunuch secretly called out bad luck, lifted the slender Jiang Xing onto his shoulders, followed Ye Cai and others and ran towards the courtyard gate. After running a few steps, he felt something strange behind him. When he looked back, he saw a shriveled figure.
His fist suddenly enlarged in front of him, then his vision went black, and he lost consciousness instantly.
Ye Cai, who realized something was wrong, quickly turned around, only to see the eunuch carrying Jiang Xing fall down. Jiang Xing had already had his acupoints removed, and was looking at the unfamiliar silver-haired old man next to him inexplicably.
"Master Yan, if you don't guard the north gate, why are you coming to the palace?" Ye Cai found out that it was Yan Wuji who came to save people. He couldn't help but screamed. While screaming, he quickly untied his cloak and exposed his waist.
poison dart.
"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" Yan Wuji said with some disgust. Ever since he met the Sixth Prince, the deputy hall master had hardly taken him seriously.
"Let's go together! Kill the old guy first, quickly!" Ye Cai slapped his waist and immediately jumped out four poison darts. The remaining five eunuch guards also turned around and rushed towards Yan Wuji.
After a fierce battle in the city, when he saw the Eastern Zhou army entering the city, Yan Wuji quickly came to protect Jiang Xing in accordance with the agreement with He Qizhou.
After all, Yan Wuji, who is over seventy years old, is no longer young. After fighting hard and running wildly, he is still panting. Because he is not completely sure of defeating Ye Cai, he first threatens the opponent. He did not expect that Ye Cai would take the risk and choose a fight.
, Yan Wuji had no choice but to draw his sword towards the eunuchs, hoping to quickly close the distance with Ye Cai and not give him any room to shoot his darts.
Of course, Ye Cai didn't expect those eunuchs to be able to stop Yan Wuji, who was at the Chengzong level. Before the two sides could exchange hands, four darts came out, and then he kept taking the darts from his belt and firing them, not caring about hitting those eunuchs.
.
Among the five eunuchs, there was a master of the Six Meridians. Yan Wuji was unable to defeat the enemy with one move. It took him four moves to deal with the eunuch in front of him, but he was already six to seven feet away from Ye Cai.
Ye Cai, who was wary of Yan Wuji's martial arts, fired more than forty darts at once, two of which were even deliberately aimed at Jiang Xing.
While fighting five eunuchs, he also had to block darts for Jiang Xing. The elderly Yan Wuji accidentally cut his thighs and arms by poisonous darts one after another. He saw several darts coming from his predecessor at the same time and blocked them himself.
It's too late, if you avoid it, it will cause disaster to Jiang Xing behind you!
"I'll kill you!" Yan Wuji, who had always been like a hermit, hated Ye Cai for being despicable. He gritted his teeth and faced the poisonous darts. After inserting two darts into his abdomen and thighs, he finally got close to Ye Cai, who couldn't escape, and it was airtight.
He swung more than twenty swords and killed Ye Cai, who was less skilled in martial arts, with one breath. Then, exhausted and poisoned, he fell down.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Yan Wuji finally fell into Jiang Xing's arms.
"It seems like it's not going to work anymore. Just stay here. He Qizhou should be here soon." Yan Wuji said with a bitter smile. If he was full of energy, he might be able to resist the heat and poison of the flame dart, but at this time, the sea of energy
Kongkong, the fever and poison broke out, and he had no choice but to wait for death. "You said it was He Qizhou?" Jiang Xing felt her eyes light up.
"Yes. Princess Mingyue, I am worthy of you..." Yan Wuji's eyes darkened and he fainted immediately.
…
Why is it so cold? Have you arrived in the underworld? It turns out that there are really six reincarnations in this world. I haven't done anything bad, so I should be reincarnated smoothly. Hey, why is my head a little swollen? No, why is it so swollen?
"King of Hell! King of Hell! Why are you torturing me?" Yan Wuji was woken up by a sudden chill, and suddenly found that his head was horribly swollen, and he couldn't help but blame the King of Hell.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a minute!"
Hearing the girl's touching voice, Yan Wuji tried his best to open an eye slit on his face that was swollen like a steamed bun. Looking sideways, he realized that the woman speaking was none other than Jiang Xing, whom he had saved!
Is she also dead? Hey, why is this place so golden? Why are there so many dragons carved on the roof? Why are there dragons on the bed? "Girl, are you the reincarnation of the Dragon Girl? You brought me here?"
"Yan Wuji, who was thinking wildly, asked Jiang Xing.
"Where are you? Grandpa, you are sleeping on Helian Qingfeng's dragon bed. He Qizhou said that you have made the greatest contribution to the attack on Qingcheng this time, so I will let you sleep on the dragon bed to recuperate. He just has the solution.
The medicine can detoxify you, and it is said that you only need to rest for a few days, and you will recover quickly, and nothing will happen to you."
"How long have I been sleeping? Where is the swelling on my face... where are others?" Yan Wuji still doubted his eyes and ears.
"Two hours, maybe. Not long after you fell, he rushed in with people, saying that he was saved in time and there was no serious problem. This is the second time you have taken medicine. The swelling will disappear in a while. There is chaos in the city now.
As a group, He Qizhou really doesn't have time to accompany you." Jiang Xing said with a smile.
Yan Wuji secretly channeled his energy, and as expected, he was able to lift his body a little. Apart from the cold, there was no other obvious pain on his body. Then he stood up and looked at the four walls of the palace. Sure enough, he saw wood that was common in the palace. Only then did he believe what Jiang Xing said.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing, even to the point of bursting into tears.
…
"My dear mother, Iron Rooster, how much gold and silver does this have?" Crow's eyes gleamed.
"In the past, when the harvest in the cottage was at its best, it might not be as good as one percent of what we get here. It's really eye-opening, Crow. It would be great if all these were used for military pay." Gong Ji said.
"Hey, you are thinking too much. The boss asked us to come here to calculate how much money there is. He wants to distribute it to the people outside the city who have their homes demolished. He sent us here to plunder the treasury because he believes in us. We
How can you be greedy?" Li Zeping was lying on a pile of gold ingots, turning his head to lecture his two companions who were also lying on the gold ingots.
"Everyone is getting up to work. Let's quickly estimate how much gold and silver there is. Let me say it again. Boss He has already explained that the outstanding wages will be paid this time. No one can hide a copper coin privately!" Guo Wen frowned and looked at each one.
The guy buried in the pile of gold and silver couldn't help but said angrily.
He Qizhou handed over the task of searching the treasury to Guo Wen, whom he trusted most. Many of the officers and soldiers in the half-battalion led by Guo Wen were horse bandits. Although Guo Wen, who had seen big scenes, was greatly shocked by the mountains of gold and silver in front of him.
He arrived, but he was still much calmer than those horse bandits. This chapter has been completed!
