The winter nights are long.

It was about an hour after dinner, and because of the cold winter, there were no lively scenes in various places; so at this time when it was still noisy in the past, most of the towns fell asleep.The lights are flickering, and the snow that I have seen during the day, the sun that I have seen, and the people I have read appear in my dreams.

Zhuo Zhao was originally asleep, but because Lian Xin had always been a light sleeper, Lian Xin just woke him up.

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Zhao just opened his sleepy eyes when he saw Lian Xin busy in a bright armor.Out of the intuition of fighting for many years, Zhuo Zhao seemed to be stung by something, and instantly regained consciousness.

"It's not good." Lian Xin frowned, and threw the Habayashi riding armor found in the closet next to him to the person on the bed, "I was also woken up in my sleep, and I came to look for you as soon as I got the letter. Brother Zhuo , Mojiao has made a move, saying that he will mobilize the corpse soldiers to rush to the imperial city tonight."

Zhuo Zhao felt that his soul was out of place.

"What?! That bastard actually acted suddenly at this time? Grandma!" Cursing, wearing the hard armor all the time, "Then did he say how to divide the actions between you and me? "

"Yes." Lian Xin handed over a letter.

Zhuo Zhao tried his best to calm down his emotions, and roughly scanned the content on the paper.

"He asked you to lead the imperial army to surround the capital... This is fine, even the brothers guard the capital, and by the way, they can fight hard when the corpse soldiers come. By the way, let all the brothers under him be equipped with silver-headed spears. I remember counting A few years ago, the Supreme Emperor bought a batch." Zhuo Zhaofu paused again, "As for me...he asked me to follow him to lead the corpse soldiers on the road... No, we have to notify the Supreme Emperor first, and in addition, immediately summon the soldiers and horses in Antai Town King Qin!"

Lian Xin nodded, "Don't worry, someone has already notified the Supreme Emperor on my way here."

Zhuo Zhao followed suit.

But, I don't know why there is always an inexplicable discomfort in my heart, pulling...

This pawn, I'm afraid it's unlucky.

-

The wind is rustling, and there is only a cold sound in my ears. Thinking about it, there should be nothing else in this world.

It's just that in this pitch-black night, in this desolate land that oozes with gloom, there seems to be a creepy sound in an instant.Zhuo Zhao sat on the horse, his mood was fairly stable, but the horse under him was a little flustered and was pacing carefully.

Zhuo Zhao somewhat regretted his incompetence.

During today's day, the Supreme Emperor has already determined the position of the corpse soldiers, and the old man and mage who know the art of witchcraft are on their way to the capital. Why is Zhao Gan going to raise the corpse soldiers to force the palace tonight!

"Oh, it smells really bad." The young man over there covered his mouth in disgust, but had a smile on his face.

Zhao Gan accompanied him, laughing loudly: "Don't dislike King Jing, this is a good thing."

The old man and Prince Nanuo smiled treacherously, which made Zhuo Zhao feel nauseous. "Damn..." Zhuo Zhao cursed in a low voice, with a forced smile on his face, but the hand pulling the rein exerted a lot of strength, and his knuckles turned white.

A wizard in front of the crowd was wearing a colorful mask and holding an unknown long banner in his hand, spilling blood.

He was chanting a spell in an unknown local dialect, and Zhuo Zhao, who was fascinated by the sidelines, felt that the deep voice accompanied by the strange atmosphere was particularly creepy, and this place was eerie... I can't help but recall the scene when Chunshou was attacked by corpse soldiers that year, those ghosts with strange movements...

So disgusting.

This is a hill located outside the outer city of Kyoto. It was originally a mass grave.

It's not that the hidden guards haven't checked this place, but when they passed here several times, they either encountered many people mourning their relatives at this time, or there were dead bodies all over the mountains and plains lying here without any supervision.The last thing they did was to notify the officials in Kyoto to set fire to all the corpses here.

The fire burned for three days and three nights.

And after burning the dead bodies, there is nothing but crooked tombstones.The hidden guards checked, and found that the household registration and year match, and there was nothing suspicious, so they ignored it.

Zhao Gan's corpse soldiers escaped detection in this way.

But... the fire was too fierce. He originally had more than 2 corpse soldiers hiding here, but nearly [-] were destroyed.

Corpse soldiers are mainly hidden under the cemetery. There are many burial customs in Dayan, one is sky burial in the west, the other is sea burial and cremation in the south, and the other is burial in the vicinity of Kyoto.Because there are mostly high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen here, who would want to lose their bodies after death?Therefore, most of them are buried in burials.

And this burial is also particular.It is said in ancient books that a coffin with a dead person cannot fall to the ground. Once it hits the ground, the dead person will come into contact with the aura in the ground, and then the corpse will be transformed and fraudulent.For burials in the Kyoto area, when the coffin is lowered into the soil, wood needs to be placed under the coffin, and small bowls filled with mercury must be placed at the four corners to isolate the aura.

Because of this crop, all the cemeteries where the coffins are buried in the mass graves have gaps, enough for the corpse soldiers to hide.

This kind of ghost might occupy someone else's coffin to sleep in.

However, because the officials set fire to the unclaimed corpses, the temperature of the fire was too high, and directly burned a group of corpse soldiers who were too close to the ground. They lived by drinking blood and obeying the wizard's password. Afraid of silverware and fire.

Zhao Qian felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do.Anyway, there are still more than 1 corpse soldiers.

As well as the imperial forest army and habayashi cavalry in Kyoto.

"Banza, sample game!——"

I only heard the wizard's shout, and the surrounding area shook like it was about to collapse!Zhuo Zhao kept calming the emotions of the horses under his seat, and stared helplessly at the bare hill with only tombstones in front of him, many foul-smelling things appeared in an instant!

Get up!

"Father Zhong...it stinks..."

Zhuo Zhao couldn't help but sneer at the young prince who kept complaining.It's really a little bit of sweetness to be recognized as an ancestor!Recalling how much it hurt you when the emperor was too old?Being a concubine is nothing special, but the Supreme Emperor will always give him a chance to perform, and will always reward him with the same things as his concubine... It is really a wolf-hearted thing, calling the devil dragon who feeds the dead to be his second father!

"Lieutenant Zhuo?"

"Hey." Zhuo Zhao scolded him in his heart, but he had a big smile on his face.

"Let's go."

Zhuo Zhao responded with a smile, his nerves tensed.

-

Kyoto.

At the same time, the place in Kyoto is filled with a tense atmosphere of bow and string.

After Zhuo Zhao left, Lian Xin arranged for people to run around the outer city and even the inner city of Kyoto. Tonight, the Royal Forest Army will dispatch soldiers and horses to arrest more than a dozen murderers who escaped from the prison. Don't go out through the doors and windows. If you don't listen to the advice, you will definitely lose your life.

The people of course nodded and obeyed.

Half an hour later, looking inside and outside the city, it was really silent and quiet.

Imperial City.

Lian Xin allocated 4 people to guard the four gates of the capital, and led the remaining 4 people to station in the imperial palace in the inner city.It was still night, and the sound of 4 people walking echoed in the empty palace. Even though the place was vast and inaudible, the people in the palace could smell the danger in it.

"All the officers and men guard every gate in the palace, no one is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to go out!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Today's Sergeant of the Royal Forest Army was selected by Lian Xin after nearly two years.Back then, the Royal Forest Army had too many devil dragon minions. Although the official position was very low, it would be a hidden danger if it was not eliminated for a day. Except for these ants, those who stayed were all cronies who had been cultivated by themselves, and they obeyed Lian Xin's words.

They knew in their hearts that Lian Xin was loyal, so that was fine.

Such an obvious defensive move woke up many people, except for those palace people who looked ignorant but pretended not to know, there were also the little emperor who was sleeping peacefully in Jinghe Palace.

"What's going on outside?"

Rui'er was awakened by the sound of uniform footsteps, and couldn't help calling Lian Cheng who was still in Duke Zhou's dream.Lian Chengshou heard the shout from the outside room, hurriedly answered in his clothes, and went out to investigate the situation.

It's okay not to look at it, but it's a shock to see it.

Lian Cheng looked at Lian Xin, the captain of the Imperial Forest Army standing in front of him, and the densely packed sergeants who surrounded him almost as far as he could see, and felt a little uneasy. "Lian... Lieutenant Lian is this?" Could it be that he wanted to rebel?

"I have something to see the emperor, please pass it on to the manager."

-

"I thought I would never see such a ghost again."

On the gate of the imperial city, there stood several columns of imperial guards.

The little emperor Rui'er and Lian Xin stood together on the city tower looking into the distance in the night, talking vaguely.Lian Xin looked back at this man who was dressed similarly to Zi Sang Yu in the old days, and lowered his eyebrows.

I don't know what kind of impression he left on the corpse soldier when he was four years old?

"The Emperor Qin's army stationed in Antai Town is rushing to the capital. Although they can't arrive earlier than the corpse soldiers, they should be able to follow them when the corpse soldiers arrive in Kyoto." Lian Xin only hoped that Zhuo Zhao could delay for a while on the road , half a quarter later, maybe a life can be saved.

"Father is still behind as always." Rui'er sighed, and he really shouldn't blame her before.

Apart from her identity, she is a good emperor, a good husband, and a good father.

In the quiet night, a goshawk flew over the imperial city, and a long howl pierced everyone's peace of mind.Like the outpost of a battle that is about to start, the thunderous drums sounded.

-

The corpse soldiers arrived at the gate of the outer city of Kyoto.

"Who is coming!"

The Royal Forest Army on the top of the city shouted loudly.I saw hundreds of men on horseback wearing armor and swords in the city, and behind them was a mass of people who didn't know what was following them, and a rotten smell came out of their nostrils.But it's terrifying, the soldiers on the top of the wall obeyed Lian Xin's order and had no intention of letting him go.

However, if Zhao Gan finds out the clues, Zhuo Zhao's life will be in danger.

"Where did all that nonsense come from!" Zhao Qian only took the sergeant's question as a secret signal from Lian Xin, and ignored it at all.The wizard beside him understood what he meant, and just blew on the flute in his hand, and directed dozens of corpse soldiers to rush forward——

The gate of Kyoto is broken.

"So powerful..." Zhuo Zhao couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
