the enlightener says

However, when he just pulled the latch, there was an urgent shout from outside the door: "Don't open..."

Abu's heart tightened, he remembered the voice, it seemed to be the woman who talked to Chan'er when he just entered the door, that is, the sister Lin that Chan'er was talking about?But at this moment, Sister Lin's voice turned into a whimper, as if someone had forcibly covered her mouth with her hands.

Abu almost subconsciously pumped up all his energy and blood to resist the door!

2 Chapter Seventy

Then there was a loud bang, and his whole body was shaken. Knowing that the door was being hit with a battering hammer, he knew that this matter had exceeded his expectations.

After the "one, two, three" shouted in unison outside the door, there was another round of impact. I don't know how heavy the hammer was, but every time it hit, Abu felt his whole body was shaken. , even the condensed qi and blood were scattered in an instant, and with a sweetness in his throat, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

But he obviously didn't have time to wipe it. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Go! Go!" At the same time, he mustered up his strength and snapped the latch into the buckle. The door trembled once again, shaking his legs Once soft, he almost fell to the ground while staggering!

Everyone began to understand that something was wrong, the dancers had already run towards the back yard, but Yu'er did not leave, walked all the way to Abu, picked him up with one arm and followed him into the yard.

Although the door of the embassy has been specially made, it has never been considered that there will be such a day, so naturally it won't last long, and now Chan'er ran over, Yu'er reprimanded: "What are you doing here! Go back! Get out the back door!"

"I can't go..." Chan'er said anxiously, "Sister Lin is still outside."

"Sister Lin's matter will be discussed later!" Seeing the urgency of the situation, Yu'er simply grabbed Chan'er and walked towards the backyard. With a loud bang, the gate of the embassy finally collapsed under the impact of the battering hammer. The bright torch came in through the door frame brightly, with a bit of power. The leader was wearing an official uniform, and the wind was raging on the road. He shook the scabbard in his hand and said coldly: "Jingzhao Yin Youling Qunfang country sent a demon girl into the palace to cause chaos in the Tang country, the crime should be punished! Arrest them all! Those who resist will be dealt with as spies of the enemy country!"

The officials responded loudly, and holding their unsheathed knives, they came in two teams towards the inner courtyard.

Chan'er clearly saw Sister Lin being held under the armpit by two people, she seemed to have been beaten up, her eyes were dazed, the corners of her mouth were bloody, her legs couldn't stand up at all, like a crippled dog, and then Yu'er closed the door. The door of the inner courtyard of the embassy cut off everything from the crack of the door.

"Aren't you leaving?" Abu asked.

Yu'er stood in the middle of the hall with sharp eyes. The turmoil outside the door didn't seem to make her, a woman of the generation, panic. She held a bow in her hand and put her quiver on the ground. This door was breached, and it was impossible for her to have time to finish shooting the pot of arrows, so it was better to remove it from her body and try to be as light as possible.

"I want to make sure they can all go away." Yu'er said in a deep voice.

"Alright, I'll be with you."

Abu was panting, and felt his heart beating violently. The shock still lingered in his body. After all, it was a breaking hammer pushed by many people at the same time. With a relatively shallow cultivation base, he has not been able to break through the three realms and enter the palace, and is still just a mortal body.

He coughed a few times and looked a little weak, but now is not the time for him to show weakness easily. He doesn't know what happened now, why Jing Zhaoyin issued such a terrible order, but there is one thing He is very clear that no matter what, the innocent people in the Fang embassy must be kept.

The reason is very simple. First, Qiao Feifan helped Jing Wu a lot during that plague. As a member of Jing Wu, he should repay this favor for Jing Wu.Second, Zhang Fu and Qin Ke have a good relationship, so they are naturally his friends. Even if the people in the embassy are not Zhang Fu's relatives, they should at least be her fellow countrymen.

As for the third...

He turned his head just in time to see Chan'er walking in from the back door, slightly startled: "Why don't you leave?"

"I'll stay too." There were still a few teardrops hanging from the corners of Chan'er's eyes, perhaps because of the fear caused by this series of events, or because of the distress caused by seeing Sister Lin in a mess just now. At that time, she looked even more delicate and pitiful.

Like a delicate flower in the cold wind...

"What are you staying for?"

The situation was urgent at this moment, and Abu didn't care about so much etiquette, so he reached out and grabbed Chan'er's shoulder, trying to turn her around, and said: "You can't help here, you go out first, Yu and I The girl will come out soon."

Chan'er stood upright and resisted Abu's pushing and shoving. Taking advantage of Abu's inattention, she escaped from Abu's hands, turned around and looked at Abu with firm eyes: "I can help, you don't have to worry about me." .”

"This……"

"Let her stay." Just when the two were at loggerheads, Yu'er suddenly said, "She can really help, let her stay."

She seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes were closed, the longbow in her hand was shaking slightly, she lowered her head while speaking, as if she was too lazy to look at Chan'er and Abu, or she seemed to deliberately not look this way.

It's just that Abu was a little startled, and didn't pay much attention, but hesitantly said: "What are you talking about, she doesn't know how to practice, let alone martial arts, let her stay..."

"Let her stay!" Yu'er's voice became a little heavy, and as her words fell, the longbow in her hand hit the ground, "Don't waste time."

Abu didn't know what to say for a moment, lowered his head, and was facing Shang Chan'er's same stubborn eyes. She was holding a dagger in her hand, which was of the same standard as the one on Yu'er's waist, but the size was smaller. It's like a toy.

But she still said: "Yu'er said so, now you believe it?"

Abu smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.When we really fight later, what can such a small dagger be used for?Wipe your own neck?He looked at Yu'er, not knowing what she meant, Chan'er lost her head, did she also lose her mind?

Chan'er, on the other hand, took a step forward and stared at him. The sound of a hammer was heard from the gate again, and the soldiers outside were shouting, "One...two...three!" It was about to break, and the entire gate was crumbling.

In addition, some people were shouting: "Go around from the outside, surround the embassy, ​​don't let those people run from behind!"

Abu shook his head helplessly. From her eyes, he should not be able to persuade him. In this case, he can only do his best to protect this seemingly defenseless woman...

But this kind of thought is only for a short moment...

When Abu and Chan'er didn't realize it, Yu'er had already arrived in front of Abu!One of her hands was closed like a knife, she raised it high, and then dropped it heavily. With a muffled sound, Abu felt something soft and warm in his arms. He lowered his head, and Chan'er had already fallen on the ground. into his arms.

Yu'er said coldly: "What are you waiting for? Do you really think you still have time to persuade her? Take her away, the sooner the better."

Abu stared at Yu'er with wide eyes, thinking that since you planned to do this from the beginning, why stand there and pretend to be indifferent?Could it be because he thinks that look is very chic?

However, Yu'er's voice did remind him. Looking at Chan'er who was unconscious in his arms, he turned around and raised Chan'er on his back with strength, and walked to the back door in a few steps: "I'm leaving, you what to do?"

"I don't plan to die here yet, I will catch up." Yu'er has already grasped her longbow again and wound the arrow. With the strength of her arms, the longbow was pulled into half a moon, watching her relax It would not be difficult to pull it into a full moon.

She stared at the door that was about to be breached, and said, "If possible, try to keep everyone safe! Let's go!"

Abu turned his head, and the door had been smashed open by the hammer. With his last glance, Yuer had pulled the longbow to the full moon, and when the arrow was shot, the huge force actually directly penetrated the body of an official, and threw it again. An official behind him was nailed to the ground abruptly!

The officers rushing in were in confusion, and someone behind them shouted: "Don't hide! Anyone who retreats will be killed! Get rid of the rebellious party, today!"

Chapter 271 Get away

Abu rushed out of the embassy all the way from the backyard, and there was a burst of shouting and killing in the room.

In the rice shop, Jing Yu finally received the news from his subordinates, but it was a step too late in the end. He stared at the map of King Tang's palace, and there seemed to be a knife in his originally calm eyes, and he almost forcibly took this thin map. The map was cut into countless pieces.

"How could this happen?" Gao Yishui and Cai Yan were no longer in the mood to laugh and curse anymore, and they also gathered around the wooden table that was said to be too big, each with horror in their eyes.

"I don't know...it shouldn't be like this...it shouldn't be like this...it shouldn't be...but it's like this now." Jing Yu felt like a mountain was pressing on his head, and it was difficult to speak, "The rebels have invaded the palace from two directions at the same time. The speed is astonishing. Obviously, this coup has been planned for a long time. A thousand iron cavalry guarding the border have entered the palace. It can be said that it is almost impossible to enter the palace. The realm of people..."

Gao Yishui nodded vigorously: "The forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty has never experienced battle formation at all, and there are many children from aristocratic families who forced their way in in order to accumulate so-called 'military merit' relying on their family background or parental relationship. How can such an army be guarded?" The iron wall of the palace is nothing but a muddy pond!"

"It is estimated that Tang Guo himself did not expect such a day." Jing Yu said with a wry smile, "Li's party and Yang Taizhen's party have been fighting in court for many years, because of Li Qiuhuang's inaction, Li's party can be said to be It’s a matter of time before the day ends, but no one thought it would come so soon…”

At this time, the cellar's mechanism rang again, and the clerk from the rice shop came in, with a solemn expression, and shouted: "Report!"

"It has been found out that the one thousand cavalry that broke into the palace from the east is the one that just returned to the camp today, and the infantry in the north is mainly the patrol camp of Ding'an City, but there seems to be internal support, so this army is constantly Expansion, many forbidden troops have already rebelled."

"Where are the [-] troops in the Ding'an City camp?" Jing Yu asked.

"No movement."

"It's almost as expected. Since they arranged the action tonight, it is impossible not to consider the [-] garrisons, but I don't know what method they used to stabilize the [-] garrisons so that they can survive in this situation. No reaction." Jing Yu nodded and motioned for him to go down.

"I guess it's because he doesn't want to react?" Gao Yishui squinted his eyes and thought deeply, "They deliberately transferred most of Yang Taizhen's loyal army, and the remaining [-] troops obeyed orders from people who dared not make decisions. The situation is unclear, of course he is unwilling to stand in line, but he has a good plan."

Stretching out a hand, Jing Yu drew two circles on the map: "To the east, this is the thousand cavalry. To the north, this is the two thousand infantry. Mr. Gao, what do you think they will do next? "

Gao Yishui thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the map: "There are two possibilities. One is to meet up directly, storm the second gate, and go straight to the banquet hall to kill Yang Taizhen. The second is to garrison troops to control the palace, and then Force the palace and ask Li Qiuhuang to issue an order to kill Yang Taizhen."

Jing Yu nodded and said: "It's almost the same as what I think. No matter which of these two possibilities, as long as Yang Taizhen dies, the party members under her will naturally disperse. After all, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty has been around for many years. It doesn't matter if Yang Taizhen is in power. It is easy to shake. The only thing that can resist now is the [-] real elites under the commander of the imperial army, Ge Shuhan. As long as they can hold and delay until the arrival of reinforcements, Yang Taizhen may not lose."

"I don't care who wins or loses." Gao Yishui whispered.

In fact, the process of the chaos in the Tang Kingdom and the outcome have nothing to do with him. First of all, Gao Yishui is not from the Tang Kingdom, so what if the sky in the Tang Kingdom has changed?Isn't his life the same?Secondly, he is not from Jingwu either. He can understand the affairs of Jingwu spies, but he will not take "for Jingwu" as a matter of course.

As for Jing Yu, Jing Wu's orders to him have always been to "collect intelligence and wait for changes." In the past few years, the biggest thing he has done is to direct the fire in the palace, and at the same time steal the hidden treasure. The Five Elements Sinan in the Tang Palace.

Jing Wu had just stabilized the turmoil caused by the "destruction of dikes and flooding fields", and it was really not suitable for a war. Therefore, the internal struggles in Tang State did not seem to have much to do with the two of them.

It's just... Qin Ke is still in the palace.Gao Yishui turned her head to look at Cai Yan. She was sitting on a chair, her complexion was slightly pale, and she had lost her initial vivacity.

However, Gao Yishui also understands very well that Cai Yong has always been in charge of the patrol battalion, and that General Wei Xiu of the Forbidden Army...has always been very close to the Cai family. Absolutely impossible, who is this important person?For Gao Yishui, this seems to be coming soon...

With Cai Yan's intelligence, he must have had a premonition.

"Send someone to the archives." Jing Yu said calmly, "Find a way to contact Qin Ke and pick him up. The situation has changed, so his mission must stop."

"How to send? Now the palace is a mess, how will your people get in?" Gao Yi said quietly.

"No matter what, you can't sit still." Jing Yu said, "Qin Ke still carries the mission of the prime minister, so he can't be easily folded here. Even if the shopkeeper is here, he will give the same order. Maybe... you can use Secret passages……"

Gao Yishui also agreed with him, but he didn't care much about Zhuge Wanling, he just cared about Qin Ke: "Then we should do it as soon as possible, once the rebels become powerful and control the situation in the palace, even if Qin Ke wants to It’s impossible to use secret passages.”

"No. You can't use the secret way." However, at this moment, Cai Yan suddenly stood up, and she repeated in a low voice, "You can't use the secret way."

Gao Yishui looked at her and frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The location of the secret path is near the arsenal in the south of the city. Now I'm afraid..."

There is an arsenal in Ding'an City in the Tang Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of Weiwei Temple. There are two Lings and two Chengs who are in charge of storing weapons. They are outside the south of the Tang King's palace. It has been decades since the Ji Dynasty had not completely controlled the Northern Barbarian area. However, in today's Canghai territory, there are still many large and small prairie tribes who refused to obey the orders of the Ji Dynasty, and enfeoffed the Tang Kingdom, which was originally to deal with these prairie tribes.

Naturally, the Tang State had tens of thousands of soldiers from the very beginning, so it was quite normal to set up an arsenal.

And after the Tang State annexed the neighboring small countries one by one and became one of the heroes in the world today, this arsenal has also been continuously repaired and expanded. Now, this arsenal is so big that the armor alone is enough to assemble 20 troops. This number is still expanding.

Bingjia is the root of troubled times. Naturally, Tang has always been heavily guarded.

But today, the arsenal is full of shouts of killing. There are 500 troops guarding the arsenal, and everyone is fully armed.The warm wind in Ding'an City has eroded their tendons, weakened their five fingers holding the knife, and made their movements of raising the shield look weak.

In front of them, three thousand black-clothed dead soldiers were all clothed in civilian clothes, holding only a rough iron sword in their hands, but they were as cold and stern as a group of evil spirits in the night.

Iron swords couldn't cut through the iron armor, so they pierced the gap between the iron armor and their fragile throats with the tip of their swords. When the blood gushed out like a spring, their eyes didn't even change at all, they just turned around and took a step forward. , to find the next enemy, and continue to end one life after another.

An arsenal guard in iron armor was holding a halberd in a weak hand. With the help of his colleagues, he stabbed to death two dead men who rushed forward, but these dead men were like moths to a flame. I don't know what death is, even if he can kill one, two, or even three or four, how much will it help the situation?

Chapter 272 Three Thousand Deaths

The gate has been lost, and the dead soldiers swarmed in. The sky is low and the clouds are low, there is faint thunder rolling, and the mountain rain is about to come.

The arsenal guard looked at the brothers in the same robe who died under the opponent's sword, and his eyes were full of silent grief. It was these people who desperately built a line of defense with shields that gave him the opportunity to kill these dead soldiers with high martial arts skills.

Now, he has lost them, which is equivalent to losing the protective umbrella that he relied on to survive in the face of a heavy rain.

The dead soldiers regrouped and rushed towards him again.

The situation is over... He put down the halberd in despair, and soon he felt the icy sharpness of the iron sword piercing into his body, a burst of pain and hot liquid flowing, the dead man's eyes were cold, covered under the mask face is unclear.

"You group of...rebels!" the arsenal guard gritted his teeth.

The dead man didn't speak, but flipped his hands, and pulled the iron sword in the middle of the armor, ripping out the intestines of the arsenal guard. The guard's eyes widened, and he fell straight on the steps.

"Put on your armor, take your weapon, the door has been opened, success or failure depends on it!" The leader of the dead warrior said to everyone in a cold voice, "Move quickly!"

The blood on the ground gradually solidifies in the cool autumn night wind, and when you step on it, you will feel a very subtle sticky feeling, which is disgusting.

"Three thousand dead soldiers?" Gao Yishui's eyes changed slightly, looking at Cai Yan he couldn't believe it, "You said that your father not only has a patrol battalion in his hands, but also secretly trained three thousand dead soldiers outside Ding'an City?"

"I only eavesdropped on my brother and dad once... Although I was discovered later, I only heard about it." Cai Yan's expression was very complicated, "These three thousand dead men are the last foundation of the Cai family. Concubine Yang is here In the past year, he kept suppressing the ruler of the country, eradicating dissidents in the court, and monopolizing the power. My father didn't want to fight for power, but in order to protect himself, he had to train these [-] dead soldiers, and he only hoped that he would never use it."

"That is to say, the three thousand dead men should be attacking the arsenal right now, or even...may have captured the arsenal." Gao Yishui tapped on the map, trying to say something, but after holding back for a long time, he couldn't help it With a loud curse, "Damn it, Cai Yong is a bastard."

Cai Yan lowered her head and didn't speak. She didn't know what words to respond to Gao Yishui's insults when her father did such a shocking thing. Out of control.

"That is to say, the chaos tonight is far more intense than we thought." Gao Yishui said, "Three thousand dead soldiers, patrol battalions, imperial troops, and one thousand cavalry, Li Qiuhuang's party actually took control overnight. Six or seven thousand troops, since this is the case, it can be said that all of this palace has fallen into their control."

There was a lot of commotion outside, and the three people in the file warehouse were obviously a little impatient.

"Shut up!" Qin Ke and Lu Pu were so annoyed that they couldn't help shouting at Wu Ting at the same time.

Wu Ting was stunned by the two men's low shouts and fell silent for a moment, and his mind was a little confused for a while, he stared at Lupu, wondering which side are you from?

Lu Pu didn't look at him, just gritted his teeth and kept thinking about the solution to the predicament in his mind. He was different from Wu Ting, Wu Ting was a pure person, and it was precisely because he was too pure that maybe it would be no fun to work with such a person Gut, don't worry about his duplicity stabbing him in the back, but at this time his stupid appearance still makes people want to beat him up.

The three of them have been at a stalemate here for a while, but everyone understands that this stalemate cannot last forever.

It was late at night, if the three of them still couldn't get out before dawn, I'm afraid that what awaited them would not be a good thing.

Qin Ke was also in a dilemma. At some point, he even wanted to simply agree with Lu Pu's approach and hand over the silk book to Lu Pu. Anyway, after going out, he might not have a chance to get it back.

However, he is not a gambler like Gao Yishui, let alone a gambler, this silk letter is related to his master's whereabouts, and he does not want to use it as a bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, he also showed a very sad expression on his face. This kind of thing is really tormenting. After all, this is a dead end, right?And since it's a dead game... unless there is a third party, arrogant and unreasonable hand in this game, who forcibly overturns the game...

It's just... who is that third party?

The two sitting there chatting?Or is it the secret agent of Jingwu who doesn't know when he will make any moves outside?

But at the moment when he had a headache, the situation suddenly changed.

Just outside the carved window hung with a layer of silk to block the line of sight, countless fire lights appeared at an unknown time. In such a silent night, under the moonlight, these fire lights swayed and swayed, but seemed to become more and more prosperous. Unswervingly spreading, like a monstrous huge wave, rolling in.

At the beginning, it was just small dots, seemingly insignificant, even like moving candles, but when those flames were connected together, there were countless footsteps, and the nails rubbed against each other while running, making clangs. There was a rustling sound, as if there was an army running outside. Although Qin Ke couldn't tell how many people it was, but just looking at the flickering lights, he could guess that it was definitely not a simple forbidden army outside. Patrols are that simple.

The most important thing is...their walking pace is not very consistent, but it's not because their legs have started to slack due to the sloppy military discipline, but...they are chasing something.

Then... a tragic howl tore apart the tranquility of the night.

Countless weapons collided in the air, sharp blades cut into the human body, the voice was dull, but at the end there was a cry of pain, some flames fell, and some flames stood upright, as if mocking the ground with a cold and stern look The gradually extinguished flame.
