At night.
Starry sky.
In the Liyuecheng military camp.
At this time, most people in the entire military camp, except for the patrolling soldiers, had fallen asleep. After all, they were too tired today.
They went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and even if some of them took advantage of the situation, they were still fighting with great effort, which would cause huge damage to both their spirit and body.
Look, while these people were sleeping soundly, the generals and soldiers brought by Xu Shanbao were not asleep.
Because they were all waiting for an opportunity, and they all saw what happened today.
As the saying goes, children raised by stepmothers are not welcomed! This time, they finally felt this kind of pain, and they couldn't bear it.
At this moment! They received the general's order to kill Zhou Zhengtian's soldiers while they were still asleep and without any defense.
This can avoid casualties and is also very fast.
As expected, strange noises were heard throughout the military camp. At first, many patrolling soldiers were very surprised, but later, more and more of them died.
At this time, they finally realized that there was a traitor among the army! They were actually fighting among themselves, trying to kill each other.
At this time, Xu Shanbao's anger could no longer be expressed in words.
He sneaked into Zhou Zhengtian's tent because the patrolling soldiers had already been sent away by his own people.
He doesn't have to worry about anything!
As soon as he entered the tent, Xu Shanbao saw Zhou Zhengtian sleeping soundly on the bed. He sneered, "My dear Zhou, I never thought that this day would come to you. Today, I will make you die miserably."
"Today I will let you know how powerful I am."
As he spoke, Xu Shanbao took out a short blade and rushed towards Zhou Zhengtian. Then the short blade stabbed directly into his chest, at the position of his heart.
At this moment, Zhou Zhengtian successfully woke up. When he saw Xu Shanbao in front of him, a look of horror appeared on his face.
He never expected that Xu Shanbao would appear in his tent!
And the expression looked so terrifying.
At this moment, Zhou Zhengtian suddenly realized that he...
"You, what did you do?"
Zhou Zhengtian shouted angrily.
Xu Shanbao laughed, "Of course, kill you!"
"You bastard, you want to become a great general. Who do you think you are? You want to be the king of the Great Zhou."
"For someone like you, being a prince is a good thing."
"Today, under the city wall, my soldiers almost died in battle, but you refused to open the city gate. Do you think I don't know your little tricks?
The reason I speak to you with a smile is simply to let you let down your guard."
"You bastard, the kind of people I hate most in my life are people like you."
"Hahaha, this is truly satisfying. Good thing you died. Didn't you always suspect someone was trying to assassinate you? That's right, they've long hated you."
"For someone like you to not be assassinated is truly a blessing from heaven. It truly is heaven that spared your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shanbao stabbed him several times and finally cut his neck.
Zhou Zhengtian's vitality was not that strong, so he would have died of exhaustion long ago.
However, when he was dying, his eyes were wide open and he said something in a very low voice.
"I really regret not killing you directly."
“…”
At this time in the military camp, the soldiers under Xu Shanbao were like crazy killing people. Because they were all fast asleep, it was particularly easy to kill them.
This is an internal conflict, not an enemy sneak attack, so it is very easy to deal with this group of people.
In a short while, only half of Zhou Zhengtian's soldiers were left in the barracks.
At this moment, the soldiers realized what had happened and shouted angrily.
"The general was so kind as to take you in, but you killed us brothers. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Has our general offended you in some way that you would actually want to do such a thing?"
However, at this moment, Xu Shanbao walked out of the tent, holding Zhou Zhengtian's head and shouting at them.
"I'm sorry, your great general is dead. From now on, I am your king."
"If you are willing to surrender, then you can live. If you don't want to surrender, then you have only one way to go, and that is death."
"You think this general is ungrateful, right? But do you know what this general has gone through?"
"You guys don't understand anything, yet you dare to make arbitrary inferences here."
…
midnight.
At this moment, the people of Liyue City were all sleeping soundly, but at this moment, an accident happened!
Many familiar people only felt a burst of warmth.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was a fire!
At this moment they were all quite panicked, and it seemed that not only one house was on fire, but the entire city was on fire.
At this time, a big fire broke out in the Liyue City military camp. A group of soldiers in armor burned down the entire city with a big fire.
They were like devils, attacking unarmed civilians and setting entire cities on fire.
As the leader, Xu Shanbao naturally has this responsibility, and this matter was the order he gave.
"Soldiers!"
"Burn down all of Liyue City, and we'll go seek refuge with Marquis Wenxin."
"Marquis Wenxin will not distrust us. Moreover, after we surrender to him, our treatment will be improved and we will no longer suffer such distrust."
In this way, Xu Shanbao successfully took away many soldiers.
Most of them were his own soldiers, a small number were soldiers left behind by Zhou Zhengtian, and more were killed.
Among those who were killed, a large number of them were killed in their sleep, and the rest were those who were unwilling to obey Xu Shanbao's orders and leave.
At this moment, Lu Yun was in the tent.
Many people also noticed the fire in the city. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned. What was going on?
"Report! Liyue City is on fire!"
"The entire Liyue City was engulfed in flames. The darkness seemed to be illuminated by the flames, as bright as day."
"General! What should we do?"
Lu Yun hurriedly walked out of the tent. He could see the fiery red sky from twenty miles away. Such a big flame and such thick smoke?
"Could it be that there really was a civil unrest?"
"Burning down the entire city in one fire?"
At this moment, Shadow Guard Thirteen Zhao Cheng hurried over, and next to him was a slim-looking woman.
"Meet Eunuch Lu."
