"This last man was ambushed on the road, and was caught while fleeing when he saw the situation was getting worse," the Jinyiwei said with a hint of regret on his face. "Although we immediately dislocated his jaw, we still couldn't prevent him from pulling out a dagger and slitting his throat."
Now there is no one alive and nothing on them to prove their identity. How can we find the murderer behind the scenes?
The emperor pinched his chin and looked at the bodies of several people.
"Turn them over and pour hot water on their backs."
All of Xiao Yanli's men had a fire pattern behind them.
Although he was exposed because of the assassination of the prince that day, based on the emperor's understanding of Xiao Yanli, he would not change because of that one time.
Sure enough, after the water was poured on them, the same fire patterns appeared on the six people's bodies.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards showed surprise, but the emperor's frown did not relax.
Why did he send someone to assassinate him specifically?
With Xiao Yanli's ability, he couldn't be unaware of the strength of the Jinyiwei, and he couldn't be unaware that it would be impossible for these few people to stop the Jinyiwei.
Unless, his original intention was not to assassinate, and these people were just a decoy!
"There are no Jinyiwei guarding the Xu Mansion?"
The emperor's tone was somewhat solemn.
Hearing about Xu Mansion and hearing the emperor's tone, Jiang Sulan stood up suddenly.
What does that mean? Could it be that those people will attack the Xu family again?
Grandma is still in the house!
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Aside from those escorting the corpse and a few injured brothers, most of the others are guarding outside the Xu Mansion." The Jinyiwei spoke quickly, "I will return to the Xu Mansion to check on the situation."
However, before he could move, a man covered in wounds ran over and said, "Your Majesty! Thieves attacked the Xu Mansion at night!"
!!!
…
On the other side, in Qingxi Valley in Mobei, He Yanting's original plan was completely overturned due to the participation of the Junggar and Heshuo tribes.
Fortunately, it was just a plan, and the Apocalypse Army had not yet passed through Qingxi Valley.
The time Jiang Zhiyu gave at the beginning was just an approximation, and He Yanting was still worried that they would join in when the two armies were fighting. Now that they are joining in advance, it may not be a bad thing.
"Give the order and continue to practice as before. Don't slack off."
The soldiers below responded, "Yes."
War is the easiest way to unleash the wildness in people. Over the past few days, everyone has become familiar with each other. While gnawing on bones, they complained: "You tell me, we are fighting the Wala. Why do those two families have to come and interfere?"
"That's not the case. After all, those three are collectively called Mobei, and Wala is in the middle."
"I just feel it's a shame. We finally had a chance to have another great fight, but those two got in the way, and then, boom, it's gone!"
"What a pity! If they intervene only after we've passed this valley, we'll be truly surrounded by enemies, unable to advance or return. This current situation is the best."
"Besides, how do you know that those two families are here to help? Don't they have other bad intentions?"
Just as the Apocalypse soldiers complained, the Wala generals who received the message seemed to have Parkinson's disease in their hands: "Let us surrender to them?! How is this different from those Apocalypse people?!"
"That's right, they're clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune. They're even more shameless than those people from Apocalypse!"
"General, you must not agree to this!"
Daiqin sneered, "What's the point of you telling me about this? I can't make the decision. Everything depends on the king's decision."
Several soldiers went out cursing.
Daiqin's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Where are those spies?"
"They were very obedient and passed on whatever I was told. I personally saw all the messages that were passed on, and there was nothing unusual."
Daiqin twirled the dagger in his hand. "Nothing unusual? Then why haven't they fallen into any traps? Also, aren't they going to use that rope to cross the valley? Have you seen any unfamiliar faces these days?"
The man was stunned.
The appearance of the Tianqi people and the Mobei people is very different, and they can be recognized as soon as they show up.
But he looked for a long time these days and didn't find any.
"General, are you saying there's something wrong with those five spies?"
Dai Qin raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "Lock them up, pry open their mouths and ask them."
"yes!"
…
Southern Gu.
The Southern Gu King rarely looked happy.
The high priest is dead, and the great elder has resigned to enjoy his retirement. Although the two envoys of Revelation are still outside, the entire city of Nan Gu is under martial law. Where can they escape to?
Sooner or later it will fall into my hands!
And there is the Apocalypse embroiderer.
He was about to lie down to rest when someone rushed in: "Your Majesty, this is bad! The envoy of Apocalypse is coming this way with his men!"
What? ! ! !
King Nan Gu sat up suddenly: "How many people did you bring? What about the people who intercepted us along the way?!"
"It seems like there are dozens of them. They killed everyone who intercepted them along the way!"
Dozens of people? The Southern Gu King secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Just a few dozen people, is it worth panicking like this?! Where are they?"
"City, city gate."
At the gate of the imperial city, ten men on horseback stood at the foot of the city, with red flags fluttering in the wind.
The city gate was closed, people were standing on the city wall, and dozens of poisonous snakes were half-standing in front of the city gate.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[No, why do we need snakes to defend the city?]
[Snake, I'm so unlucky to be born in this Southern Gu place. I'm really suffering!]
Jiang Wenjing: "Puff."
Although snakes are highly venomous, they also need room to maneuver, just like now, they gather together in a group, and one step from the horse's hoof can kill two or three snakes. How can they maneuver?
The Southern Gu people are overly dependent on Gu to the point of being pathological.
If the poison fails, the entire city of Nan Gu will be like paper, which will break with a single poke.
Jiang Zhiyu and his men had no intention of attacking the city; their goal was to lead people into the dense forest.
Seeing that the Southern Gu King had also arrived and stood on the city wall, Jiang Zhiyu took out the Molotov cocktail that he had prepared long ago and threw it at the city gate.
Although the ground was damp after the rain, there was a haystack nearby. Fires started to rise and the air was filled with the aroma of snake meat.
Jiang Zhiyu's throat moved suspiciously.
Someone on the city wall screamed. They didn't feel sorry for the snakes, but for the poisonous insects in their bodies.
For ordinary people, raising a Gu would take several months of effort, and if it were burned, at least several years of hard work would be gone.
Naturally, they couldn't stand it, and some of them immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys of Tianqi are plotting rebellion. I beg you to fight and eliminate the rebels!"
"I also want to fight!"
The Southern Gu King was still pondering Jiang Zhiyu's intentions when he heard them challenge him to a fight and looked into their red eyes...
"Okay."
Several people mounted their horses, carrying poisonous insects and long swords.
There was a large army waiting in the city.
Just looking at the number of people, it's like the saying goes, one person's spit can drown the ten people outside the city.
The fire had died down, the city gates were wide open, and people rushed in with swords in hand.
