No matter how fast they hurried, it still took them two days to complete the journey.
On this day, General Beiling was drinking in his tent when a soldier ran in and said, "General, the He family, the He family seems to be different from what we expected."
"What's wrong?" General Beiling put down the bowl suddenly: "Has He Jingheng discovered our whereabouts?" As soon as he finished speaking, his hand fell on the big knife on the table, and he was actually ready to retreat.
"No, no, no." The soldier said hurriedly, "It seems that He Jingheng is not at home. I heard the conversation between He Jingheng and the guards around him. It was not He Jingheng's voice at all. He must be pretending to be him by wearing a human skin mask."
Upon hearing this, General Beiling stood up with his sword in hand and asked, "Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."
"Good!" He couldn't help but laugh wildly: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, come on!" He waved his hand: "Take your weapons and follow me to destroy the He family."
At this time, everyone in the He family was having dinner. The old princess held her head with a frown.
Seeing this, Qin asked hurriedly, "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The old princess nodded: "I don't know why, but I always feel tired. Maybe it's because I didn't get enough rest yesterday."
He Yunyi's eyelids twitched, and she felt like something was happening.
Just then, a guard ran in in a panic: "Madam, Madam, something bad has happened, there is an assassin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of fighting between weapons was heard outside the gate.
The old lady's heart sank. Since He Jingheng and his wife were not at home, she could only place her hope on the guards in the mansion.
Yuntian brought several secret guards to protect the entire mansion behind him.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!" Yun Tian said in a deep voice, "You dare to break in, I think you are tired of living."
"Hahaha, is that so?" General Beiling laughed. "Today I want to see who is tired of living."
Hearing this very familiar accent, Yun Tian's pupils shrank slightly: "Are you from Beiling?"
"Haha, you actually heard it." General Beiling sneered: "Since you already know, I might as well let you die with a clear mind." He shook the big knife in his hand, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "I will use your blood to commemorate the Beiling soldiers who were massacred by your Dingguo Palace!"
He waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers behind him stepped forward.
Yuntian looked around secretly, and couldn't help wondering, Beiling has surrounded the He family with such a large force, why haven't the officials come yet?
“Hahaha, are you still counting on reinforcements?” General Beiling said, “Don’t dream, no one will come to save you.” He looked at the secret guards behind him: “You and your brothers will be buried with the He family!”
He waved his hand, and the soldiers swung their swords and slashed at Yuntian and others.
The war is about to break out.
Yuntian was the most skilled of these secret guards. He and General Beiling were evenly matched in the battle.
After several rounds, General Beiling found an opportunity and slashed him in front with a knife. The wound was very deep and blood was pouring out. He could no longer hold the sword in his hand, staggered a few steps, and almost fell.
“Hahahaha, the secret guards of Dingguo Palace are just so-so. My men couldn’t even get through a few of their moves.” General Beiling held up a knife and walked forward slowly, looking at Yuntian with a teasing look in his eyes: “Are you still waiting for reinforcements? Don’t dream, no one will come to save you. I believe that Emperor Tianshun wants Dingguo Palace to completely disappear between heaven and earth. When the officials saw that you were surrounded, they had already hidden far away, waiting for us to leave and collect your bodies!”
Due to their large number of people, the secret guards of Dingguo Palace gradually showed signs of decline.
General Beiling looked around and laughed: "Today, I will use you as a first step. When your disabled master comes back, I will kill him with my own hands."
After he finished speaking, he raised the big knife in his hand high up. If he chopped it down, Yuntian would be torn into pieces.
Yuntian touched the grenade on Bie's waist. It was left for him by the Crown Princess for emergency use. As long as he pulled the ring, he could die together with General Beiling.
Yuntian spat out a mouthful of blood. It was worth it to exchange his life for a general of Beiling.
Just then, an arrow came flying from behind him.
Hearing the sound of breaking air, General Beiling quickly moved aside.
The arrow landed right where he had just stood.
"Who! How dare you attack me from behind!" He shouted angrily, "Come out if you dare! I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard movement in the woods to the east.
Looking closely, I saw a group of people in white robes standing at the edge of the woods.
"you······"
Before he finished speaking, more and more people in white robes came out.
Snow, snowman?
How come they are here?
"Listen, brothers!" Lin Mu said loudly, "We swear to protect everyone in the He Mansion until our death. We cannot let any thieves enter the mansion."
"yes!"
The uniform voice shocked everyone present.
Why would these snow bandits stand on the side of the He Mansion?
According to the information they received, in recent years, the snow bandits here have been mostly suppressed by the Tianshun court, and they are mortal enemies with the Dingguo Palace.
The people of Qinglong Village surrounded He Mansion and looked at the Beiling soldiers with vigilant eyes.
At this point their numbers were about the same.
Lin Mu helped Yuntian up: "Hey, big brother, are you okay?" He didn't know Yuntian's name, so he asked in the tone of their Qinglong Village.
If it were the past, Yun Tian would definitely not bother to pay attention to it. In his opinion, the Snow Bandits were just a bunch of rabble, bandits, how could they be good?
I didn't expect him to be so loyal.
"It's okay, thank you."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Don't be polite, big brother. We are all family."
General Beiling was furious when he saw them like this.
Are you here to make friends with your relatives?
Also big brother.
Look at your fawning face, why don't you call him dad?
"I wonder why the Dingguo Palace was confiscated and exiled? They were mixed up with these bandits. What loyalty? Pah!" General Beiling mocked, "Where is He Jingheng? Let that cripple come out! I will teach him what loyalty to the emperor and the country means."
He Yunyi could hear clearly what was happening outside the door in the dining room.
He Jingxi stepped forward, holding a sword in his hand, and said angrily: "These bastards from Beiling dared to insult our He family. I will kill them."
After he finished speaking, he rushed out with sword in hand without waiting for anyone to stop him.
"Jingxi, come back!" Lin wanted to chase him, but how could she catch up with He Jingxi's pace?
When she chased out, He Jingxi had already arrived at the gate with a sword in hand.
