Chapter 513 Playing with Dogs

Yun Chen's small slip of the tongue about "get on board" and "serve the dishes" made the more than 200 Black Scale Cavalrymen guarding outside the hall couldn't help but laugh in such a serious occasion.

I thought to myself that Yun Lao Hu is also a human being, and there are times when he speaks out of turn and says the wrong thing.

But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Even though the Black Scale Cavalry had completely occupied the palace and was on high alert, fires broke out in several palaces at the same time.

Although the fire was not big, it was obviously started intentionally, and immediately attracted many Black Scale Cavalrymen to come and put out the fire.

However, the Black Scale Cavalry were not stupid. They knew that the key to everything right now was in the Feng Yutian Palace. In order to prevent the tiger from being lured away from the mountain, none of the guards of the Feng Yutian Palace moved.

At this moment, a thin black shadow appeared silently on the top of the palace wall, jumped into the palace as nimbly as a night cat, and the sharp sword blade attacked quickly, quickly cutting the throats of several black-scale cavalrymen, and then immediately disappeared without a trace.

By the time others reacted, there were only seven or eight twitching and bleeding corpses left on the ground.

The remaining Black Scale Cavalrymen immediately became more alert and more vigilant.

But for the next half hour, nothing happened.

It was quiet everywhere, without any unusual movement.

Just when the Black Scale Cavalry thought that the enemy had given up and they could spend the night in peace, the sound of firefighting was heard in the distance in a palace.

Then, the thin black shadow appeared again. Just like last time, he killed six people cleanly with his sword skills and then retreated and disappeared again.

It seems the fire is the signal for an attack, occurring approximately every half hour. The Black Scale Cavalry thought so, figuring out the pattern and making some preparations.

Who would have thought that the thin black shadow had no "martial ethics" at all? Half an hour later, he launched a third attack, first picking out a few black-scaled cavalrymen to kill, and then setting fire to other palace gardens.

In the fourth chapter, instead of killing people, they threw flasks into the pile of Black Scale Cavalry.

In the fifth round, the last battle had just ended and the fire on the Black Scale Cavalry had not been extinguished yet, the thin black shadow came back and launched the fifth attack.

In the sixth chapter, there was no movement for a whole hour, and just when the Black Scale Cavalrymen's tense nerves had just relaxed, more than a dozen cold arrows suddenly shot out from the darkness, taking away more than a dozen lives.

Chapter 7...

Chapter 8...

Huihui doesn't play by the rules, and randomly selects a few black-scaled cavalrymen to act as ghosts.

The thin black shadow came and went without a trace, making it impossible to catch or chase it.

The Black Scale Cavalry were almost going crazy. They felt like they were being stared at by a dead mosquito, buzzing around their ears and making non-stop noises, and they would get bitten if they weren't careful.

I even feel uncomfortable as if I'm being played like a dog.

The key is that you can’t chase her!

Jiao Zuotai ordered to defend Feng Yutian Palace to the death. The Black Scale Cavalry could only stay where they were, holding back their anger, and endured one "tease" after another, not knowing if they would be the ones to die next.

When it was darkest and coldest before dawn, and everyone was at their most restless, the ninth attack came.

This time, rockets and arrows flew towards them, and the angry Black Scale Cavalrymen cursed while resisting.

Just as the few Black-Scaled Cavalrymen guarding the window slightly deviated from their positions, a thin black shadow came straight towards them, apparently trying to break into the hall through the window.

At this moment, a sharp whistle was heard in the hall, and the Cloud-Swallowing Beast at the door immediately raised its hooves and neighed, rushing towards the hall door like crazy.

With a loud "bang", the carriage crashed through the palace gate and the body of the carriage was stuck between the two doors. An equally thin black shadow killed several black-scale cavalrymen, took the opportunity to step over the roof of the carriage, and jumped into the palace gate with light skills.

At the same time, the black shadow attacking the window retreated immediately.

The Black Scale Cavalry were stunned. They never expected that the nine rounds of attacks tonight were carried out by two black shadows in turns.

The last game of feinting to the east and attacking in the west was so cool!

It is even more unexpected that more than a hundred people are guarding a temple, and one person can break into the temple.

Several black-scaled cavalrymen rushed to the palace gate, freed the carriage, and pulled the Cloud-Swallowing Beast out.

Another dozen people wanted to rush into the hall to arrest people.

However, Yun Chen was blocking the door with a sword, so no one dared to take action and quickly reported to Yan Shijiu.

After learning that all the commotion and the nine quick attacks tonight were just the chief guard's attempt to rush into the palace, Yan Shijiu waved his hand indifferently:

"He must stay by Nan Lijun's side and will not give up until he achieves his goal. Let him go. Nan Lijun won't live for many hours anyway, so let them die together - tell Yun Chen to give her another quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, she must leave Feng Yutian Palace."

After saying that, Yan Shijiu no longer paid any attention to it and still looked worried.

The black-scaled cavalrymen guarding the temple no longer rushed into the temple to arrest people after receiving the order, but they still used the excuse of repairing the temple door to take a clear look at the situation inside the temple.

Yun Chen was blocking the door with a sword, while Buyan was standing beside him, panting and holding a knife, protecting the woman behind him.

Judging from the exposed dragon crown and dragon robe, it was undoubtedly Nanli Jun.

The black-scale cavalrymen conveyed Yan Shijiu's order to Yun Chen, and then retreated on their own accord.

When the palace door closed, Yun Chen and Buyan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind Bu Yan, a face exactly like Yun Chen appeared. He gently touched the shaky dragon crown on his head, tightened the dragon robe he had hurriedly put on, and showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"We've achieved half of the success, Brother Buyan." Yun Chen stepped forward and blocked the door of the hall.

Seeing that Buyan was covered in wounds and bleeding everywhere, she quickly tore off strips of cloth to bandage him.

Madam Su also carefully took off the dragon robe and dragon crown temporarily, and ran around busily serving water.

Nine consecutive quick attacks seemed easy and unrestrained, making the Black Scale Cavalry run around in circles, but in fact each one was extremely dangerous.

After a whole night, Bu Yan was so tired that his clothes were soaked and his whole body was wet. He couldn't tell whether it was sweat or blood from his injuries.

He raised his blood-stained, twitching hand, pointed at Madam Su beside him, and then gestured to Yun Chen.

Although Yun Chen didn't understand, she knew what Buyan was talking about without even looking. She deliberately avoided Buyan's distressed and blaming eyes, and while bandaging his wound, she chattered in a joking tone:

"Look, Brother Buyan, the tacit understanding among our Huo Gang guards is as strong as ever! As soon as I said 'light the lamps,' 'board the boats,' and 'nine'—three codewords—you immediately understood that I meant to light the fire, initiate the action, and launch nine attacks. And you must have seen the carriage curtains rolled up, and you saw the wine jars, right?

Only you can guess, no, only our Huo Gang guards know that Xiaoliu is best at using the skill of shrinking bones to drill into wine jars... You must have understood my hint at once. Under the carriage carpet, in the half-foot bottom layer used to hold charcoal, there is a very important person hidden. I need to bring that person in.

Hehe, those Black Scale Cavalry brutes are used to fighting on the battlefield, so how could they understand the endless changes in the guard business! As soon as we used the nine-consecutive rapid attack method that Brother Ye taught us, they were immediately confused. They really thought that after tossing and turning all night, they could break into the palace just for you!

Little did they know that the moment the carriage crashed into the palace gate, our ultimate goal was to get the people in the mezzanine out and the emperor to hide inside! Speaking of which, tonight reminds me of the time when Brother Ye, Hua Jue, Brother Gou, and Xiao Liu, the six of us used nine consecutive quick attacks to provoke the Mao Yu family. Haha, that time was so refreshing and carefree..."

Yun Chen was talking with great excitement, but Bu Yan could no longer tolerate her deliberately changing the subject. He grabbed her wrist and used a stern expression to stop her from saying anything.

However, Yun Chen just paused for a moment, then laughed like a fool again:

"Brother Buyan, don't worry. Yan Shijiu wants to be king and will definitely kill the emperor, but he won't kill me. Only if I am in exchange for the emperor's life can she live."
