Empress and Empress

Sha Pingba hesitated when he saw the news sent back by the masked man.He turned back and said indifferently, "Send the order down, no attack is allowed. Collect food from the whole city and distribute it uniformly. Send a message to Sui Ye, no matter what the situation is, you are not allowed to leave the city."

"Marshal, this is a good opportunity, why don't you attack Chancheng?" a general asked.

Sha Pingba looked at the map without answering, and then said, "Send 1000 people to guard the back door, and no one is allowed to leave the city and enter the city."

"marshal---"

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Sha Pingba turned around and asked calmly.The general's heart turned cold, he didn't know why he couldn't say what he wanted to say.He trembled, "No, I heard that."

"Since you heard it, do as I say." Sha Pingba said lightly, the general swallowed, and walked down with a bow.Sha Pingba smiled lightly, "I don't know if you can get your wish this time?"

There is a small plain in the middle of the valley, and a carriage is about to cross this plain.Suddenly, arrows shot out through the air and shot directly at the horses pulling the cart.

The arrow was hit by a stone in the process of piercing through the air, bounced back and fell to the ground.The person in the carriage said indifferently, "The distinguished guest is coming, why don't you show up?"

"The Marshal has orders, so how dare we disobey them. I just don't know if the Marshal has been ordered to get through here." Laughter came from a distance, and then a group of people appeared on the hillside not far away, densely packed. How many people, each with a strong bow in his hand, a long sword hanging on his waist, and bows and arrows on the strong bow, facing the carriage.

"Sha Pingba is willing to send the most elite troops out, it seems that he must take my head." The tone of the people in the carriage was still calm.

"In that case, the marshal might as well dismount and surrender!" said the general opposite.

The two drivers got out of the carriage and stood around the carriage, one on the left and the other on the right.The people in the carriage did not appear, but she smiled and said, "In this case, please give the general a try." As soon as the words fell, the general found a group of men in black appeared beside him at some point.

"Lore, don't need to keep alive." Humanity in the carriage said.

"Yes." The man in black moved very quickly, and appeared near the group of people in an instant, and then only heard screams.

Xia Zimo's spies were selected by Yuan Xingye as one of the 100 most powerful men in the army. Afterwards, he often performed some tasks by Xia Zimo's side. Coupled with Yuan Xingye's guidance from time to time, his skills have improved a lot.Moreover, Xia Zimo spent a lot of money on them, whether it was the daggers and steel knives in his hands, or the hidden weapons on his body, he found the best iron masters to make them.

These soldiers were no match for this group of people at all, and they had no power to fight back.

The woman in the cloak looked at the scene outside and said, "Sister Zimo and the group are really powerful. I'm afraid even the royal family doesn't have such a group of experts."

The woman in purple smiled and said, "there are only a few masters in the royal family, but the lord has indeed put a lot of thought into them, and he has also found inner skills and mental methods for them to practice everywhere. Although these spies have no official positions, many people want to enter here. In the past few years, I have also joined many masters of the rivers and lakes."

After speaking, she pulled down the curtain of the carriage and blocked the windows with iron sheets.Concerned, "Don't show up for a while, the master is still behind. Liu Yun and Tang Ji are outside and don't leave."

"I'll be fine." The cloaked woman, Yin Suxin said with a smile. "do not worry."

Luo Yan was still a little worried, she lifted a box from a corner of the carriage, "Here is the thunderbolt I asked the Marshal to bring, if there is danger, you can light it with a flint and throw it out."

The two of them moved some hands and feet on their faces. If you don't look carefully, they really look a bit similar to Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo, but the real Yuan Xingye is still in Chancheng, and becomes Luoyan to command the attack on Xinlan.Yin Suxin smiled and said, "Understood, don't worry."

The screams outside became less and less, but the worries in Luoyan's heart gradually deepened. She did not agree with Yin Suxin's taking risks, but the other party agreed, and she had no way to object.

Looking at Luoyan's worried expression, Yin Suxin felt a little helpless, "Okay, let's deal with it quickly and leave here, as long as we get to Narrow Pot City, we will be safe."

"Okay, you promise me that no matter what you hear or see, don't get out of the carriage. The marshal has made arrangements, and you will not be in danger."

"What about you?" Yin Suxin stopped the hand that was fiddling with Thunderbolt, looked at Luoyan and waited for her answer.Luo Yan smiled, "I will try my best not to get hurt." She stretched out her hand to hold Yin Suxin's hand, Yin Suxin wanted to take it back but Luo Yan did not let go.

"Actually, I've always wanted to tell you---" Luo Yan was about to speak, when the screams outside had disappeared, and the men in black gathered around the carriage, knelt down.

"My lord, the cleaning has been completed."

Luo Yan looked at Yin Suxin, let go of her hand, and asked calmly. "How about casualties?"

"Injured 20 people."

Luo Yan nodded, although the combat effectiveness of this group of people is not one against a hundred, but one against ten is fine.

"The people around Xia Zimo are really powerful." The masked man not far away said with a smile, and then heard the person in the carriage say, "Since the commander has come, why don't you show up?"

I saw a person flying out of the carriage, wearing a purple dress with a long sword in her hand. She flew out of the carriage and landed lightly on the roof of the carriage, with the long sword hanging obliquely by her side.The breeze lifted the corners of her clothes, which made her stand out against the kneeling men in black in front of her.

The masked man said, "The marshal is very light-hearted, but I don't know if the marshal can handle us alone." After he whistled, hundreds of people suddenly appeared around, Luo Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people, They were also dressed in black, but unlike Xia Zimo's spies, each of them wore a mask.

"The king of Tubo really thinks highly of me, and even dispatched all the dead soldiers." Luo Yan said lightly, and the murderous aura spread around her.Yin Suxin in the carriage looked at the roof of the carriage. Luoyan looked very much like Yuan Xingye this time, but she never saw Yuan Xingye's shadow on Luoyan again.

The masked man smiled and said, "If you can kill the marshal, what if all of us are dead?"

Luo Yan silently counted the number of people in this group, she sneered, and said lightly, "Leave half of them to protect the carriage, and the rest will go up, and no one will be left alive."

"Yes."

Luo Yanfei stepped forward and instantly killed two dead men standing in front of him, then tapped on the head of one dead man, and stabbed lightly towards the commander of the dead men.

The commander quickly avoided, and the dead soldiers behind him rushed up.

Although they were mainly assassinating, after all, they were so skilled that there were no casualties for a while.The two parties even fought a tie.Luo Yan used one sword at a time, and no one was left alive under the sword.

"Back back and surround them." The masked man said.The dead soldiers started to retreat, Luo Yan didn't give the order to pursue, and returned to the carriage with the spies.

The two parties once again confronted each other, and Luo Yan and others cleaned up the injured spies' wounds.Luo Yan said, "Surround the carriage." Hundreds of people surrounded the carriage, carefully watching the surrounding enemies.The soldiers surrounded Luoyan and the others outside.

The masked man smiled and said, "I heard that the marshal is proficient in medical skills, so I don't know if he can treat his subordinates." Luo Yan didn't look back, and the masked man laughed, "Why doesn't the marshal trust me?"

At this moment, he was in a good mood. Yuan Xingye's death was at his hands, which was enough to make him happy.In order to kill Yuan Xingye, he poisoned the knights, and the spies were poisoned when they killed the knights.Now just waiting for the poison to come out.

And in the battle just now, it was basically certain that Yuan Xingye had no backup.Otherwise, it is impossible to not appear until now.

Luo Yan stood at the front and didn't look back at the spies behind her, but she could tell from their aura that the spies seemed to be showing signs of being poisoned, and each of them began to kneel on the ground, as if they had tried their best.Many were unable to hold their swords, which had fallen to the ground.Make a clanging sound.

"To be willing to let his subordinates be sacrificed, I also think highly of Sha Pingba." Luo Yan said.The masked man sneered, "What is Sha Pingba, but he is used to resist Yuan Xingye temporarily."

Luo Yan laughed, and led the spies to gradually shrink the formation, a hundred people walked to the middle of this small plain, the masked man did not pursue, he looked at the woman in front of him, and couldn't help admiring in his heart.

Although he felt that there was a certain gap with the legend, a woman with such martial arts, such a calm manner, coupled with her faint murderous aura and leadership temperament, was enough to make him sigh.Thinking of the queen of Xinguo, looking at the person in front of him, the masked man seemed to understand the reason why Xinguo had been losing ground.

Luoyan smiled and whistled, and the whistle echoed in the valley for a long time.The face of the masked man changed, "Not good, let's go back."

There is a sense of danger in his heart, and every time he escapes by relying on his intuition.This time, he still chose to trust his intuition without hesitation.After walking a few steps, I heard a huge roar, followed by a shaking like a cave and a mountain.

"No, it's a thunderbolt." The masked man immediately understood the reason.He also knew about Yuan Xingye's bombing of Black Wind City, but he didn't expect Yuan Xingye to put himself in danger, regardless of his own safety.At such a short distance, even Yuan Xingye and others would be hurt. This kind of strategy of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred is not Yuan Xingye's style.

Luo Yan who walked to the middle said, "Take the carriage down."

"Yes." The subordinates who seemed powerless just now regained their spirits, and chopped the ground with a knife, splitting the branches used for camouflage on the ground, revealing a huge deep pit below.

Without Luo Yan's command, the spies jumped down one after another, protected the carriage in the middle, and put up a defensive formation, and then paid attention to the top of their heads to avoid being hurt by the gravel blown here.Luo Yan also considered these, and did not let Yin Suxin get out of the carriage. This carriage is unique to Yuan Xingye, and it can definitely guarantee safety.

In order to effectively kill the enemy, Yuan Xingye informed Shen Bing to bury many thunderbolts here, and the rest of General Shen Bing's thunderbolts were buried here. These dead soldiers actually chose to fight here.Just helped them once.

The explosion lasted for a long time, and Luo Yan waited until the explosion subsided before flying out of the deep pit.The weeds that were all over the place were gone, replaced by the blasted soil.The whole small plain smells like sulfur.

Luo Yan walked carefully, and saw many corpses along the way, no matter how good the qinggong of these dead men was, they still couldn't escape these thunderbolts.The air was full of yellow sulfur and dust, Luo Yan could only see what was in front of him clearly.She walked for a while, looking at the corpse and silently calculating in her heart.

According to this situation, there are ten out of ten casualties among these dead soldiers.According to Yuan Xingye's estimate, although there are only a few hundred of these people, they are very lethal and can easily cause losses to Qi Jun, so this method is used to end this group of people. Yuan Xingye estimates that Sha Pingba will not be easily fooled , but now Sha Pingba's status in Xinguo is limited, these dead men will not obey his orders, the possibility of success of this plan is very high.

Of course, if it fails, Luoyan will go to Suiye to replace Shen Bing, and Shen Bing and Pei Shiyuan will go to the Southern Army and Zhao Guang to attack the Tubo border together.

After walking for a while, I still didn't see anyone, and I didn't hear the breath of a living person.The breeze blew past, blowing away some dust and sulfur, and the sight became much better, and there was no threat in what he saw.

Luo Yan put the long sword back into the scabbard, and said calmly, "It's okay, you can—" She had just said this, when she suddenly turned around and blocked a sharp blade at a critical moment.

The mask man's mask has become a little broken, revealing part of the skin, and the sword blades collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

"Yuan Xingye, you are so ruthless --- you actually acted as a bait yourself." The masked man didn't see them entering the deep pit.His tone was full of doubt and resentment.He said hoarsely, "You're—you're despicable—"

"You were the ones who coveted our land first, so why did you say that I'm despicable, don't you know the four words "I'm not tired of cheating?" Luo Yan said with a smile.

"What kind of a hero are you? You have the guts to confront us head-on."

Luo Yan sneered, "If these are used on the battlefield, the commander may not know how many times he died. When he wins, he dismisses them. Why do he hope to fight head-on when he loses?" She fended off the attack of the masked man, lightly He turned over in the air, landed not far away, and retracted his sword into its scabbard.

"Also, I will tell the truth about your evaluation of my marshal, but my marshal probably doesn't want to be a hero." Luo Yan said with a smile.

"What---you---" The masked man wanted to step forward, but found that a sword mark appeared on his chest at some point, the mark gradually expanded, and blood began to flow out. "Who are you---"

"Under the hood."

"You are Luoyan---" the masked man was shocked and angry. He had heard of Luoyan's name, but everyone's evaluation of Luoyan tended to be moderate. He didn't expect such a hidden person. people.Luo Yan smiled lightly and said, "The Marshal said that she doesn't need to take action against the Commander herself. I will send the Commander here respectfully. The Commander can wait for the Tubo King's arrival. I believe this time will not be too long---"

"You---" As soon as the commander walked forward, the wound on his body suddenly became bigger, and blood gushed out like a fountain.He walked a few steps, and went down unwillingly. He didn't understand until he died, how the proud soldier died here so easily.

Luoyan recalled Yuan Xingye's words. Although these dead men are powerful, they have not been out of Tubo for a long time. They have been supported by the royal family all year round. They have already lost their blood and murderous aura. This time is the best time to eliminate them.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan strolled back, and the spies jumped out of the deep pit one by one, intending to check if there were any survivors.Luo Yan smiled slightly, and finally let go of her hanging heart, and walked towards the carriage. At this moment, she suddenly heard a booming sound in the distance, and the spy yelled, "It's not good, a huge rock has rolled down."

Luo Yan was startled, turned around and saw a boulder with a diameter of one person's height rolling down from the valley. Although there were many stones in the middle that slowed down the speed of the boulder, the boulder still rolled not far away quickly, and rolled towards A deep pit, and it seemed that if it reached the deep pit, it would hit the top of the carriage.
