Chapter 572 The Rebellion in Daliang, the Night of Killing
In Fengzejun's mansion, under the night, Concubine Qi was in the main hall, her pretty face was full of panic, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry.
Assassination!
Concubine Qi did not expect that under the escort of palace guards, iron eagle warriors, and iron cavalry, someone would dare to assassinate her.
Recalling the assassination of Prime Minister Zuo Wei Xiang... Concubine Qi held the corner of the silky silk dress with her slender hands, bit her red lips, and gasped slightly.
When she heard the footsteps, Concubine Qi looked over quickly. When she saw Bai Yan, dressed in black and holding a Qin sword, appearing at the main hall door, Concubine Qi's pretty face was happy and she quickly took two steps forward.
"Meet General Bai!"
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan's young face and felt that Bai Yan was so approachable and made her feel safe.
This was something that had never happened before, even when we first met at Xianyang Palace.
Recalling that Bai Yan led the troops outside and killed countless enemies, and now Bai Yan suddenly appeared here, Concubine Qi's heart, which had been hanging, was finally able to slowly fall away because of Bai Yan's help.
"Bai Yan, meet Concubine Qi!"
Bai Yan held Zhanlu in his hand and saluted Concubine Qi.
After the ceremony.
Bai Yan glanced around first, making sure that no maids were around, and then he felt relieved.
"General Bai, who wants to assassinate Guichan?"
Concubine Qi couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Bai Yan's vigilant look, Concubine Qi couldn't help but feel a little scared when she thought there was an assassin in the mansion.
"In the mansion, Bai Yan has not yet found out. No matter whether there are assassins tonight or not, I will ask Concubine Qi to replace all the maids tomorrow. No one can be left."
Bai Yan said to Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi frowned slightly when she heard this, Bai Yan didn't know who was the assassin?
this……
"Guichan, follow the general's words!"
Concubine Qi thought for a while, finally looked at Bai Yan, nodded slightly.
Concubine Qi was willing to believe in Bai Yan's identity. After all, when Bai Yan led the troops to destroy Wei, Concubine Qi already knew that Bai Yan was from Qi just like her.
"Concubine Qi, please wait here!"
Bai Yan looked at Concubine Qi, who looked thoughtful, and raised his hand to indicate.
After Concubine Qi heard this, she recovered her senses and nodded softly.
"General, please!"
Concubine Qi also raised her slender hands under Qi's clothes to signal. After watching Bai Yan cup his hands, Concubine Qi slowly turned around, came to the main seat and knelt down.
At this time, Bai Yan also came to the wooden table beside him, knelt down and raised his hand to place Zhan Lu on the wooden table in front of him.
The night was quiet.
In the main hall, dozens of candle lamps were lit. With the breeze coming from the door, the candles on the wicks swayed slightly. In the silent atmosphere, there were only Concubine Qi and Bai Yan.
"Guichan is in Xianyang and I heard that the general is from Qi!"
Concubine Qi glanced at the quiet surroundings and saw that there was no movement at all outside the main hall. She looked at Bai Yan and spoke softly.
Bai Yan nodded when he heard Concubine Qi's words.
"Back to Concubine Qi, Bai Yan is indeed a native of Qi!"
Bai Yan raised his hand and saluted Concubine Qi.
Seeing Concubine Qi's beautiful eyes full of joy, seemingly excited and happy, Bai Yan couldn't help but turn his head and look outside the quiet door again.
Although the cavalry soldiers were already lurking in the city with bows and crossbows, those on the other side were dead soldiers.
This is not the first time that the cavalry soldiers have fought against the dead soldiers. In the past, when they were carrying millet, the cavalry soldiers had fought against the dead soldiers of Chu State. At that time, Bai Yu was protected by so many cavalry soldiers, but he was still beaten by those dead soldiers.
He was charged with life and almost died from the poison on the sword in the end.
What happened that time was unforgettable not only for Bai Yu but also for Bai Yan, but also for all the cavalry soldiers.
Therefore, after learning that they were dead soldiers from the Chu Kingdom, all the soldiers were filled with anger. Last time, the cavalry was ambushed by the dead soldiers. This time, it was finally their turn to ambush the dead soldiers from the Chu Kingdom.
The hatred and humiliation of the past are all waiting to be repaid to those dead soldiers.
But thinking about the number of dead soldiers his uncle mentioned in the bamboo slips, Bai Yan couldn't help but feel worried.
"General!"
Concubine Qi's voice made Bai Yan turn around and look at Concubine Qi.
"In the past in Xianyang, the king once said, general..."
Under Bai Yan's gaze, Concubine Qi thought for a while and looked at Bai Yan curiously: "She was kicked out of Qi State by Tian Ding! Is this possible?"
This is the question that Concubine Qi has been holding in her heart. Concubine Qi, who grew up in Qi State, is very aware of Tian Ding's character, so it is difficult for her to believe that a talented person like Bai Yan would be driven out by Tian Ding.
of Qi State.
In the past, when she heard Ying Zheng's words in the palace, Concubine Qi was curious, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
This is the reason why Concubine Qi has always been favored by Ying Zheng. Concubine Qi knows that Bai Yan has made great achievements for the Qin State and is Ying Zheng's confidant. Therefore, if Ying Zheng had not taken the initiative to tell her about Bai Yan, otherwise,
There are some unknown things, no matter how curious she is, Concubine Qi will never ask more questions without permission.
Concubine Qi also knew that if she asked something that she shouldn't ask, not only would Ying Zheng not say anything, but she would also be unhappy.
And now.
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan. She and Bai Yan were the only two people in this quiet main hall, so if she had any questions, she could ask them privately.
"It's true!"
Bai Yan was a little surprised and nodded.
However, Bai Yan also felt that Concubine Qi didn't know much, otherwise she wouldn't have asked him.
Inside Daliang City.
In the dark streets, two old men over fifty were beating with a bronze drum in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.
These are the famous watchmen in later generations. However, these two old men are not called watchmen now, but wizards. In a few places, they are also called watchmen. Their duty is not to tell the time, but to exorcise evil spirits.
Whether it is Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, or Qi, there are such people.
The people follow the daily routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. At night, most people do not light oil lamps in their homes. People who are afraid of the dark hope that someone can dispel the fear in the dark night. At this time, these wizards hold wooden poles and
Ringing the clock at night to ward off evil spirits for the people.
Therefore, this "watchman" must also be played by a wizard.
So many people died in Daliang City in the past, so now in Daliang City, there are twenty or thirty old people who are responsible for watching the clock at night.
However, when they walked into an alley and the two old men were still chatting, they suddenly saw a dense crowd of men in front of them around the corner, holding swords and torches.
Before the two old men could turn around and run away, the next moment they were pierced by sharp swords and fell directly to the ground. Countless figures stepped over the bodies of the two old men.
Scenes like this also happened in other places.
Some scholars were walking in the night and saw a group of men in black. They had no time to escape and were killed.
Under night.
Densely packed men in black, holding torches, ran towards Mr. Fengze's mansion in the night. No matter where they were in the streets or alleys, some common people who were not asleep could see them from the windows. Black shadows ran past the windows in an instant.
, one after another.
It's in a small alley not far from Fengzejun's residence.
Countless black figures were running in the darkness of the night. However, the next moment, before these men in black could react, there was sudden movement on both sides of the alley, followed by countless black figures appearing in the yards on both sides of the alley.
superior.
Accompanied by the sound of the crossbow firing, the faint sound of arrows entering the body, and the sound of screams.
"ah!"
"There's an ambush!!"
In the blink of an eye, men before and after were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. There was no movement. Many of the men who were hit by arrows and were still alive screamed in pain. The other men in black looked shocked, but the leading man reacted immediately.
.
"Stay the injured one while the rest go to the mansion. We must kill Concubine Qi no matter what!"
The leading man didn't know why there was an ambush, and he didn't know if the news was leaked, but after receiving the order to die, he gave the order without any hesitation.
When they came to Daliang City, everyone knew that they would only have a way to survive if Concubine Qi died. Otherwise, if Concubine Qi did not die, the Iron Eagle warriors, cavalry, and palace guards outside the city would enter the city and kill them.
"kill!!"
After two waves of arrows, they saw that the dead soldiers of Chu State were rushing to Fengze Mansion even if they risked their lives. So all the cavalry soldiers drew their swords, jumped out from both sides, and fought with the men in black in the alley.
.
Many of the dead soldiers who were hit by arrows were seriously injured. Facing the fierce iron knight soldiers, they were basically unable to block it. They were cut down to the ground by the Qin sword and turned into corpses in the blink of an eye.
Since it was an ambush, there were no torches at all. In the dark of night, even the cavalry soldiers could not kill them all at once when facing the dead soldiers who stayed behind one after another.
On the other side, on the broad street.
A group of men in black holding torches and swords were running down the street. The situation in the alley again appeared on the street. Whether it was the shops on both sides of the street or in front and behind, groups of cavalry soldiers holding crossbows suddenly appeared.
.
"There's an ambush!"
"kill!!"
The leading man looked frightened, and in a panic, he directly raised his sword and signaled everyone to kill forward.
"kill!"
Wu Huai drew his sword and raised it to signal the soldiers to fire arrows.
As Wu Huai's words fell, dozens of arrows were shot at the dead soldiers of Chu in the night. However, as the dead soldiers on the periphery were shot and killed, the remaining dead soldiers threw their torches over.
Even though the soldiers did not dodge, they still instinctively turned their heads to prevent their eyes from being burned. This also affected the next wave of arrows. In this short moment, all the dead soldiers of Chu were already very close.
The place.
Behind the cavalry soldiers.
Wu Huai, holding the Qin Sword, looked at the men who had already charged towards them. In his mind, he recalled that when he was carrying the millet, he saw countless cavalry soldiers die that night.
At this moment, the faces of the cavalry soldiers appeared in my mind.
"Form up!"
Wu Huai ordered.
As Wu Huai's words fell, rows of soldiers holding crossbows retreated one after another. Instead, soldiers holding wooden shields and Changge stepped forward to face the swarming Chu dead soldiers.
The long swords were stabbing the men one after another. It could be seen with the naked eye that each of the men was moving forward and backward, trying to block the long swords that were stabbing the chest. Before they could react, they were stabbed in the head by other long swords and fell to the ground miserably.
Many dead soldiers threw themselves forward with their bodies to clear the way for those behind, but to no avail.
The cavalry soldiers continued to retreat, forming gaps full of long swords and swords. After the dead soldiers entered the gaps and were killed and fell to the ground, once there were no dead soldiers behind them, the gaps would be filled in an instant.
The dead soldiers of the Chu Kingdom also repeated their tricks again, picking up the torches on the ground and throwing them at the cavalry soldiers from behind. Again and again, as some of the cavalry soldiers were affected, in an instant, some dead soldiers seized the opportunity.
After rolling over, he reached his feet and stabbed the cavalry soldier in the abdomen with his sword.
Once a gap is opened, all the others behind it will be affected.
Facing the swarming dead soldiers, Wu Huai, with his martial arts skills and life-threatening ferocity in fighting, and being protected by Bai Yan, Wu Huai did not care whether the swords of the dead soldiers were poisonous or not, and watched as they were washed away.
In the chaotic defensive formation, he took a sword among the soldiers, and quickly stepped forward, grabbed a dead soldier who had wounded the cavalry soldier, and slashed it with his sword with all his strength.
The force was so fierce that he was covered in blood and half of his head was cut off.
Wu Huai wiped the blood from his face and charged towards the dead soldier in front again, with a ferocious look in his eyes on his calm face.
Other cavalry officers also followed Wu Huai, and they all fought together with the dead soldiers of Chu.
Fengze Mansion.
Outside the mansion, a famous Iron Eagle warrior looked into the dark night in the distance. Suddenly he heard a faint movement in the distance. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other and quietly pulled out the Qin sword in his hand. The crossbow was also there.
At this time, wind the string quietly and aim forward.
The leading general stared forward, holding a torch, stepped forward, and threw the torch on the prepared bonfire. The black liquid and wood were ignited together. In an instant, a huge fire illuminated the surrounding area.
Bright.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, under the huge firelight, both the leading general and the other Iron Eagle warriors could clearly see dozens of men in black rushing towards the mansion.
"kill!!"
"kill!!!"
Dozens of dead soldiers were also clearly discovered, so they no longer had any scruples. With roars of rage, they all rushed towards the mansion quickly.
We were about to get close to the mansion.
However, the next moment, all the men saw that rows of Iron Eagle warriors holding crossbows suddenly appeared on the originally empty wall of the mansion. Then, before they could react, there were men one after another at the front of the crowd.
The arrow died tragically.
"kill!"
Even the roaring man was shot between the eyebrows by an arrow amidst the roar, and fell to the ground dead.
The other dead soldiers stepped over his body and continued to kill towards the mansion.
The general in front of the mansion looked at this scene, his face in his thirties was full of murderous eyes, and he reached out and drew his sword.
Inside the mansion.
Concubine Qi, who was chatting with Bai Yan, saw that as time passed and saw that there was still silence and no movement outside the mansion, she felt a little doubt in her heart, whether Bai Yan's information was inaccurate.
"General..."
Concubine Qi also wanted to get closer to Bai Yan and see if she could learn about Bai Yan's life experience. This time she went to Qi State to find an opportunity to visit. However, just as she opened her mouth, she heard faint shouts of killing.
And even Concubine Qi, who had never been on the battlefield, could hear the momentum.
For a moment, the originally quiet atmosphere was broken, and instead the mansion was filled with screams and killing sounds coming from everywhere.
This made Concubine Qi, who had been the princess of Qi since she was a child, and later the concubine of Qin, couldn't help but feel flustered again, and her pretty face changed slightly.
"..."
When she saw Bai Yan kneeling behind the wooden table, his young face still looking calm and calm, Concubine Qi felt relieved and tried to calm down.
"Concubine Qi, it's not good! Concubine Qi!!"
Outside the gate, the hurried footsteps of the maid could be heard.
Bai Yan, who was originally quiet, suddenly picked up the sword on the table, slowly walked to the center of the main hall, and looked directly at the door.
"Concubine Qi! Outside the mansion..."
Five or six maids and eunuchs soon appeared in front of the door. However, when they saw Bai Yan holding a sword in front of him to stop him, all the maids and eunuchs were dumbfounded.
As Concubine Qi's close servants, they eunuchs and maids had all seen Bai Yan once and had impressions of him.
General Bai Yan, who was originally rumored to have been leading troops in Qufu, was suddenly at Concubine Qi's place. For a moment, the maids and eunuchs all looked confused and confused, not knowing what was going on.
"Back off! Anyone who dares to approach Concubine Qi will be killed without mercy!"
Bai Yan slowly pulled out Zhanlu and stood in front of Concubine Qi. Looking at the maid, the eunuch warned.
Concubine Qi looked at Bai Yan's appearance, listened to the screams of killing outside the mansion, and thought of what Bai Yan had said before, she quickly looked at the maids.
"Everyone, stand down!"
Concubine Qi also ordered in a light voice.
For a moment, the maids and eunuchs all looked at each other. Listening to the movement outside the mansion, their faces were full of panic, but they did not dare to disobey Concubine Qi's order, let alone Bai Yan.
However, at this time, more and more maids appeared outside the door. The Iron Eagle warrior who was originally guarding the door was about to speak when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck. The other two Iron Eagle warriors looked at
When they arrived, Concubine Qi's personal maid and a eunuch were assassins. They quickly drew their swords, but before they could step forward, they saw other maids coming to kill them.
"ah!!!"
"ah!!"
The other maids and eunuchs were all frightened by this scene. They screamed and everyone ran around.
Even Concubine Qi in the main hall looked at the maid who had been her confidant for three years with an expression of disbelief. In an instant, Concubine Qi's beautiful eyes turned red.
"Protect Concubine Qi quickly!"
"quick!"
From the exclamations outside the courtyard, Bai Yan knew that the Iron Eagle Warriors would come soon, but looking at the seven assassins, Bai Yan did not expect that there were so many assassins in the mansion, and one of them actually held a hand.
Wearing a sword makes you look like a martial artist.
In the chaos, they watched four assassins guarding the gate while the other three rushed into the main hall. Bai Yan, holding a sword, stood between Concubine Qi and the assassins.
Faced with the maid holding the dagger with all her strength, Bai Yan, who was fighting with Touman Shanyu in the clouds, had improved his knowledge of swordsmanship. He raised his sword and swung it, and the dagger flew away in an instant.
This scene also made the one holding the sword among the three assassins shrink his pupils.
Looking at the dull-looking young man, only those who practice swordsmanship know how long it takes to practice hard with a sword before you can do it.
"How could a person with such swordsmanship suddenly appear in the mansion!"
The man looked nervous, but he had no choice now.
The four assassins behind him could not stop the Iron Eagle warrior for long. The chance was only for a short moment. After looking at each other with the eunuch on the side, the man immediately took his sword and attacked Bai Yan. The other eunuch then
Taking the opportunity to bypass Bai Yan, he wanted to assassinate Concubine Qi directly.
However, before the eunuch took a few steps, when he looked at Concubine Qi who was pale in beauty, the crisp sound of swords clashing could be heard in his ears. Less than a breath later, the eunuch took one step and fell to the ground.
The man holding the sword looked at this scene and turned to look at Bai Yan. The next moment, he was knocked back two steps by a blow from his hands and knees.
Feeling the pain coming from his chest, he looked at the young man in front of him, retracted his gesture, and looked directly at him.
"die!"
The man holding the sword rushed towards Bai Yan with a ferocious expression, intent on killing Bai Yan.
However, whether it was chopping or stabbing, the man's two blows either failed or were dodged. Knowing that he met a master of swordsmanship, the man had already had a premonition that tonight was going to be bad. Before the man's third blow, in the blink of an eye,
Then Bai Yan used his waist again and kicked him in the head.
The stumbling man fell to the ground. He was dazed, but before he woke up, he saw a Qin sword on his neck.
While the man was panting, he looked at the young man in black who was blocking Concubine Qi in horror, and then looked unwillingly at Concubine Qi with a pale face behind the young man.
If you weren't an adult, you would definitely kill Concubine Qi at night!
How could Concubine Qi live till now!!!
Today, when Concubine Qi is placed in the mansion, not only him, but also Concubine Qi's personal maids will have ample opportunities.
There is also this young man. This man has been wandering around the world for many years, but he has never experienced such a desperate gap between him and an enemy holding a sword in the way of swordsmanship.
Who is he???
"General! No injuries!"
Concubine Qi walked around the wooden table and hurriedly came to Bai Yan's side. Her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan with concern, checking whether Bai Yan had been hurt just now.
"Concubine Qi, don't worry, Bai Yan is fine!"
Bai Yan turned sideways and said to Concubine Qi.
Comparing the enemy soldiers one after another on the battlefield, facing thousands of enemy troops, these assassinations in front of Bai Yan are not a threat at all. Not to mention the bloody battle between Yunzhong and the Xiongnu, even when Bai Yan first attacked the city, it was worse than this
Ten thousand times more dangerous.
Following Bai Yan's words, the man who was detained raised his head and looked at Bai Yan in shock.
"Take her away for interrogation. All servants are not allowed to approach Concubine Qi tonight!"
Bai Yan saw that Concubine Qi finally felt relieved, turned to look at the assassin and the maid, and gave an order.
Upon hearing this, the Iron Eagle warriors all raised their hands to accept the order.
……………………
Under night.
In Lord Changping's mansion, there was still an endless stream of laughter and laughter.
In the large main hall, many gentry men and even some Qin officials were already red-faced from drinking. They were drunkenly hugging the maid next to them, drinking and enjoying themselves with others.
And Sima Xing was sitting on his knees behind the wooden table. Even though he was a good drinker, being toasted by so many people and teasing Mr. Changping was so happy that Sima Xing drank until his eyes were dim.
And just outside the gate of the mansion.
The gatekeepers who were lucky enough to survive from the west city gate hurried outside the mansion, with blood on their faces, and told their servants in panic that there were thieves who had captured the west city, and now all the Iron Eagle warriors outside the city were blocked outside the city.
However, after being brought into the mansion by his servants, the doorman breathed a sigh of relief and saw more than twenty men with swords in the courtyard, all looking at him.
"Woooo~!"
The doorman whose mouth was covered was killed by random swords before he could speak. He was finally turned into a motionless corpse and was dragged away with his eyes open.
But on the other side.
A retinue of Lord Changping was running in Daliang City in the dark with a face full of panic. When he looked at the mansion in front of him, the retinue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he seemed to think of something, his eyes were full of panic, and he couldn't care about rest.
