A group of barefoot men in white clothes walked in the wilderness, getting farther and farther away from Jing Hengbo's direction.
These people walked for a long time, with the same gait, pace, and step distance. From a distance, they looked like a team of snow-white dolls held by a straight line.
They are getting closer and closer to Shen Tieguan City.
Before seeing Shen Tieguan City, they first saw the burning beacon, and then the silent army.
The barefoot man in white was very tall, with long hair hanging down in a bun. At first glance, it looked black, but from some angles, it looked like a faint gray.
He has a handsome but bloodless face, and there is an almost condensed coldness and indifference in his expression.
At the gate of the city where the beacon was burning, the city gate suddenly opened, and a large group of soldiers rushed out. The silent army here watched silently, and everyone's hands fell on the weapons.
The barefooted man in white was also watching from a distance. He was standing on a high place, separated from the army formation of the silent army, and saw two lonely figures between the silent army and Guancheng. His eyes fell on one of the figures. , There seemed to be a ghostly fire-like light jumping in his eyes.
He saw more people coming out of Guancheng than he had imagined. It seemed to be another formed army. Those people rushed out aggressively, and one of the two figures rode up to meet them.
Then there was a change. The originally hostile army began to salute, put away their weapons, and change their formation. The half-closed gates of the city were also opened, ready to welcome the two people into the city.
And the dark silent army pressed down silently.
The barefoot man in white looked at him, and suddenly said, "Gong Yin."
Everyone behind him lowered their eyelashes.
"I've been famous for a long time, but I'm not lucky. I was retreating when he went down the mountain." The barefoot white-clothed man said calmly, "This is the person Xu Pingran tried his best to control? It doesn't look like that."
"My lord." Someone behind him said, "Madam..."
"Don't call her Mrs.." The barefoot man in white interrupted him, "A foreign woman with ulterior motives, why is she called Mrs.? Why is she the mistress of my Murong family? Don't you think she is really my Murong Zhen?" Sister-in-law who admits it?"
His tone was still emotionless, but the people around him involuntarily took a step back.
"I know you are afraid of her, because she just demoted me to the snow-capped mountain in the name of my incompetence at the elders meeting." Murong Zhen had a mocking smile on his lips, "But how do you know that I didn't do it on purpose? "
Everyone listened silently.
"We haven't seen the suzerain for five years." Murong Zhen said without expression, "He never attends the elders' meeting, the council meeting, and the annual sect meeting. It is said that he is practicing Daruyi Kungfu, and that he has successfully retreated for six years. Then Consummation, saying that he should not be disturbed by anything during the retreat—this is what Xu Pingran said, has anyone seen it?"
Everyone still didn't dare to answer, as the matter involved the dispute for the highest position in the Jiuchongtianmen, saying one more word would be fatal.
"The reason why I went to the snow mountain this time is because I suddenly understood a truth." Murong Zhen said, "Xu Pingran has held on to the snow mountain for many years, and if he struggles with her there, his own strength will continue to be weakened. It's better to leave the snow mountain and form another ally."
The subordinates thought, who else in this world can be an ally of the Tianmen Elder?
"You have forgotten one person." Murong Zhen revealed a secret smile, "This person left the snow mountain very early and has been wandering outside. Xu Pingran has been trying his best not to let him come back, and he will not come back. I originally I thought he was cowardly, but now I finally understand that his thinking is the same as mine, he doesn't want to stay in the snow mountain to be held hostage and weakened by Xu Pingran, he would rather strengthen himself in the vast world outside."
"You mean the next generation of Zong..." Someone suddenly realized.
There are also people who disagree. With his wife here, can the person who was sent down the mountain early to "experience the world of mortals" really return to the snow mountain as he wishes, and take over the great cause of the snow mountain?
"I have contacted that person before." Murong Zhen said to his cronies, "He told me that Gong Yin is a very important person. Because Xu Pingran placed all his ambitions on Gong Yin. And her ambition , not just snow mountains.”
The subordinates thought, isn't the wife of the suzerain of Tianmen already the most honorable position in the world? Madam, what are you still thinking about? Could it be the power in this world? But the power and position in this world is so filthy, is it worth pursuing?
Murong Zhen looked at their expressions, as if guessing what they were thinking, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Don't forget that Xu Pingran was not born in my Heavenly Gate, and I don't have such a noble and pure tradition of cultivating the mind. She was born in the Kunlun Palace. Before she was born in the Kunlun Palace, she Who knows about her life experience? The Heavenly Gate in your eyes is infinitely clean and noble, and should not be contaminated with worldly dust, but maybe she doesn't think so? Maybe what she thinks is the glory of this world?"
Before everyone showed their comprehension expressions, he looked into the distance again, "No matter what she thinks, Tianmen cannot be controlled by her forever. That person said that Gong Yin is very important, and holding him is holding Xu Pingran's weakness... So, I Want to try."
At this time, the silent army in front was already rushing to prevent Gong Yin and Tie Xingze from entering Guancheng.
Murong Zhen watched the fight with cold eyes, watched the troops that came out, protected Gong Yin and Tie Xingze and retreated into the city, and watched Gong Yin never make a move after that shocking arrow, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. smile.
"He's weak."
After saying this, he suddenly took off his white sackcloth, stepped into the blood-stained battlefield, picked up the armor of a dead silent soldier, put it on, and stepped into the army.
…
Jing Hengbo's prison cart rumbled across the tortoiseshell land.
Ming Yan'an learned a lesson, he changed from his complacent and frivolous attitude, and started sneaking low-key. Afterwards, the army almost never passed through cities, towns, and only chose paths in the mountains.
The decoration of Jing Hengbo's prison car was revised again and again. At first, it was beautiful and ostentatious, but later it only focused on safety and reliability. The locks on the prison car were added one after another, and finally four locks were needed to open the door of the prison car.
Because of walking in the mountains and not taking the road, and because the security work is constantly upgrading, it takes a lot of time every day to scout the road ahead, arrange scouts, and investigate the road behind. The speed of the team inevitably slows down, and marching day after day, The mood was too tense, and the soldiers seemed extremely tired. After repeatedly asking for a rest and not being approved, the soldiers automatically slowed down when they were walking, and took the opportunity to rest. Ming Yan'an and Chai Yu were impatient and kept urging them. They even punished several small captains for this, but the law does not blame everyone. Even the generals said that the soldiers are exhausted to the extreme and cannot be overworked, so as not to cause a mutiny. The consequences are serious. When Ming Yan'an heard this, he didn't dare to force him anymore, but his heart was anxious, and he often lost his temper while lying in the car. Everyone knew that his temper and temperament were not as good as before after the stroke, so they didn't come close to find him uncomfortable. , there is only one Chai Yu, who speaks softly and is considerate in everything, which makes Ming Yan'an even more inseparable from her. The two of them stayed in the comfortable and safe huge carriage all day long, playing chess and reading books, enjoying their red sleeves, and they felt at ease. It was just that the soldiers who walked on the muddy and rugged mountain road would look up at the gorgeous carriage from time to time, and their eyes flashed There was a tinge of prey.
Jing Hengbo, on the other hand, looks peaceful, eats and sleeps, and asks for a little wine and appetizers from time to time, but she doesn't get drunk, she is very cooperative. She likes to gnaw bones, and the appetizers are smoked fish, duck wings and duck feet. Well, everyone often heard her gnawing on bones in the middle of the night, like a mouse. She even asked to put two flower pots in the prison car very emotionally, saying that looking at the flowers and plants would make her feel better, where did the flower pots come from on the marching road, and finally Chai Yu asked someone to find some tiger claws with strong vitality for her The vines are decorated on the railings of the car. These tiger claw vines are really strong in vitality. It didn't take long for half of the car wall to grow. It looks green, but it is really eye-catching.
Her side is quiet, but not everyone is quiet. The people guarding her are getting more and more nervous every day. The closer they are to Sanxian and Shangyuan, the more bloodshot they will be in their eyes.
On the second day of the procession, a group of assassins attacked the procession.
Said to be an assassin, the target was only Jing Hengbo, Jing Hengbo was not in a hurry, gnawed on the chicken leg and watched her guard and the other party bleed and fight, and fell in a pool of blood one after another.
It was a coincidence that when these people died, they all faced Jing Hengbo and fell under her car, looking like loyal guards who died for the Lord.
Those people were lying under the car, and the keys on their belts were soaked in a pool of blood, which flowed quietly, like a red mirror, vaguely seeing a flash of snow-white shadows.
The assassin was finally driven back. After all, Ming Yan'an had a lot of people. Ming Yan'an hid in the car, watching those black figures disappear into the sky in a hurry, with a gloomy expression.
There is no need to find out where the assassin came from, nine out of ten are his fifteen gangs of "allies".
A group of guards guarding Jing Hengbo died, so naturally another group had to be replaced. The new replacement took the key from his companion's corpse, cleaned and checked it, and tied it around his waist.
The assassins of the Fifteenth Gang came two more times after that, one time they went straight to the prison car, and slashed their swords fiercely on the prison car, but only cut a stream of sparks—Ming Yanan laughed in the car, and his voice sarcastically said: "Thousands of years!" Baitie, swords and swords, you hack for eight hundred years, and if there is a gap, I will serve you!"
In Judian County, the coalition forces of Ming Yan'an and the Fifteen Gangs are now surrounding Jing Hengbo's Hengji Army. The Henghalberd Army didn't lose much strength, but they were trapped in Judian County, the food in the city was insufficient, and the dragons had no leader. Now they can barely resist and not surrender, which is considered rare.
It is said that in the city, headed by the left-behind Tianqi, along with Zirui, the great sage Chang Fang and other civil servants, they all went up to the tower to fight in person, guarding Judian to the death, waiting for their queen to return.
Ming Yan'an laughed happily because of this, he had long been looking forward to what kind of expression those stubborn Hengji soldiers would have after seeing him capture Jing Hengbo?
Opposite Judian County is Shangyuan City. Ming Yan'an has already ordered Kaicheng to spread a red carpet for ten miles and set up a high platform of flowers. Anyone who dares to compete with him will be executed!
He also informed Judian and all the surrounding towns of the news of Jing Hengbo's capture. He believed that this sensational news would attract many people to verify the answer.
So when the prison cart arrived, the Changguan Road outside the city was already full of people, and the city of Judian was also full of soldiers. Those soldiers who were starving and thin due to lack of food, held their weapons and faced the road below the city. Looking out, I don't know whether it is fear or expectation, waiting for the queen's figure.
At this time, Jing Hengbo's prison car was densely grown due to the dense growth of tiger claw vines, so it was difficult to see the scene inside, and everyone became more uneasy and guessed, and ran forward with the army.
The prison van stopped under the city of Judian, surrounded by crowds of people, but at the moment it was as silent as death.
On the top of the city, Tianqi stared anxiously, leaning forward to look down, Zirui's face was pale, and she held the stack of dishes tightly with both hands. Chang Fang and the others were supported tremblingly by soldiers, staring at the prison car with disbelief in their eyes.
Ming Yan'an's general, Huang Gang, stepped forward and shouted in person, "Listen, all of you! Your Majesty the Queen has surrendered to us! Why do you wait to resist! Hurry up and abandon your weapon! If you make a mistake, you will be killed—"
"Fart!" There was a loud bang on the city wall, and all the troops answered together, "Your master is worthy of capturing my queen with his shrunken pustules?"
"Jing Hengbo." With a pale face, Ming Yan An approached the prison car amid layers of guards, and with difficulty discerning Ming Jing Hengbo's face from the tiger's claw vines, said calmly, "You have also seen what the people in the city look like, if you don't speak up again Even if I don’t attack, I can starve them to death. Do you really want these people who came to you and poured out their blood for you to starve to death in front of you?”
There was no sound in the prison car, and after a while, Jing Hengbo smiled lazily.
"Yeah," she laughed, "it's hard to starve to death."
"Of course." Ming Yan'an said coldly, "How? Still thinking about how to phrase it? This king has already prepared a letter of surrender for you, so you can read it as usual."
"No need." Jing Hengbo said with a smile, "I'll do it myself."
She suddenly sat up straight, pushed aside the leaves of the tiger claw vine, leaned her face forward, and before the crowd of city people could see clearly, she yelled loudly, "Hey! I'm back! Get out of the city quickly..."
A smile floated on the corners of Ming Yan'an's lips, waiting to hear the phrase "surrender".
He squinted his eyes, and seemed to see the wonderful scene where the next army offered the city, Jing Hengbo was executed before the crowd, and he formally lectured the tortoiseshell people on the high platform at the end of the red carpet.
Then Jing Hengbo's last few words reached his ears.
"...fight!"
For a moment, Ming Yan'an felt a "boom" in his ears, as if he couldn't hear anything, as if he didn't understand anything, and then, he heard the phrase "fight, fight, fight" circling around his ears, and he He felt a rush of blood in his chest, his temples were throbbing, and there were stars in front of his eyes. He stretched out his hand involuntarily, and touched Chai Yu's arm.
He glanced at the woman who always reached out to support him in time, and before he had time to smile gratefully, the anger in his chest was already ignited. Huo Ran turned to stare at Jing Hengbo.
With a bang, the gate of Judian City opened, and Tian Qizhen led the Hengji army to rush out. The black army stepped on the lowered gate bridge and the moat, and rushed out in a disorganized but extremely imposing manner .
The Shangyuan army was dumbfounded.
No one expected that the Queen, who promised to persuade her to surrender, would actually yell such a loud voice at this moment.
No one expected that the queen, who was still in prison, would dare to encourage the soldiers to put all their eggs in one basket at the moment when her life and death were threatened.
Didn't she know that the moment the army left the city was the moment when she died?
Could it be that she already has the idea of mortal death?
Chai Yu was commanding the soldiers to go out to fight, and Ming Yan'an's furious shouts had already spread throughout the battlefield.
"Kill this bitch!"
There was a series of rumbling sounds, and Jing Hengbo's prison cart, which was already equipped with organs, was quickly pulled back into Ming Yan'an's army. The Shangyuan army rushed over like a tide, blocking the rushing Halberd Army and Jing Hengbo's prison cart.
Jing Hengbo's prison cart was pulled into the center of the battle formation, where the soldiers retreated one after another, leaving an open space. With the sound of horseshoes, two teams of cavalry who had been prepared for a long time galloped forward, surrounded the prison cart, and the knights followed from their sides In his hand, he took the rocket that had already been prepared. Aimed at the prison car.
A few soldiers jumped in front of the prison car, pouring large handfuls of kerosene on the car.
"Peng." With a sound, a large net bounced off the roof of the car, which was another barrier to prevent Jing Hengbo from escaping.
The rocket was burning on the bow, and the smell of kerosene was so strong that it could be smelled three miles away. The fire light illuminated the specially laid red carpet, and the red light was bright red, like the road of the king of death stained with blood.
The battle roared ahead, and the soldiers on both sides were already fighting fiercely. At this moment, there was an eerie silence in the center of the battle formation, only the sound of the flames being peeled off.
Ming Yan'an's unsteady laughter spread throughout the battlefield.
"Bitch! Do you think that your group of starving ghosts can save you with a call before the battle? Dream on you! If you don't go to heaven, there is no way to hell. Look, right away in your carriage, Countless blades will pop out and stick into your body. Then the rockets will be fired, and under the cover of the sky net, you will be burned to ashes even if you are a big Luo Jinxian. Burn the queen before the army! You just go one step first. Immediately your group The Henghalberd Army is starving, and will come to accompany you!"
There seemed to be some movement in the tiger claw vine, there was the clanging of iron chains, and the smile on Ming Yan'an's lips was cold - are you in a hurry? Finally in a hurry? It's a pity that I regretted it in a hurry, and it was too late.
Willfulness has to pay the price!
If you can't persuade the horizontal halberd to surrender, then kill it, and burn the rebel to death before the ten thousand armies, and you can also deter yourself from now on!
His mood was on fire, his heart was beating like a drum, trembling in the agitation and excitement, he couldn't help but galloped to the side of the prison car.
He wanted to see with his own eyes how that **** struggled and screamed in the prison car, screaming to death!
He slowly raised his hand and dropped it inch by inch on purpose, wanting to prolong the time of this torture, to make the bitch's anxious and fearful feeling before death more vivid and profound, and it is best to take this memory with him to hell, Even a ghost dare not fight against him again!
However, his hands suddenly felt a little numb, his heart skipped a beat, he felt his chest tightened, his face tensed, his shoulders stiffened a little, as if he was overexcited, and there were signs of a stroke.
Before he finished this thought, his hand fell down quickly involuntarily.
"Let the arrow!"
