"Woof...woo..."

A dog barked suddenly and stopped abruptly.

In the exquisite bed, the beauty with a pale face frowned slightly and turned over muttering to herself.

But beside her, the man in his fifties with a half-white beard suddenly opened his eyes, full of vigilance and murderous intent. Then he turned over and sat up, and with his tattooed arm, he pulled out the knife hanging on the bedside.

"Ah!" The beauty opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Tai, the commander of Luzhou Road, was also a brave general in his early years. He killed countless people and his awareness of danger was engraved in his bones.

How come the dog at home only barks half a sound?

An inexplicable danger lingers in my heart. The quiet dawn and the crumbling dusk outside seem to be filled with murderous intent.

He didn't even wear any clothes, his upper body was bare and covered with scars, and he walked barefoot.

"Heizi!" He whispered out the window, but received no response from his loyal guards.

"Heizi?" He called again, but there was no response.

Then his vigilant face turned ferocious.

But he moved very gently, retreating slowly, step by step.

The floor creaked suddenly.

His body suddenly froze, and then he turned around instantly.

"Master!" Before the beauty could exclaim, Zhang Tai had already grabbed her in his hand and blocked her in front of him like a shield.

The spring scenery was endless for a while, but at the same time, two crossbow machines that had been deployed stretched out from the window. There were cold lights on the nose of the machine, and the three-diamond-shaped arrows were glowing with cyan, which made people shudder.

"Bold thief, I am the commander of Luzhou Road, General Zhaoyi..."

"The one I'm looking for is you!" A faint voice suddenly made Zhang Tai feel terrified.

Immediately afterwards, a dagger was inserted through the crack of the door, and the door bolt with the same decoration was opened with just one click.

Then, slowly and without any sound, the door opened.

Outside the door, there were several men in black standing.

"Zhang Zhentai, it's been a long time since I saw you and I'm fine!"

The black cloak slowly fell down, revealing He Guangyi's smiling but snake-like face.

Then, he stepped forward, and as he walked, the bright flying fish suit in the black cloak was so dazzling.

"He Dutang?"

Zhang Tai couldn't help but retreat, still using the beauty to block his body, and leaned his back against the bedpost.

His voice was a little desperate, but he still held on, "What crime did Zhang commit? Do you want your Jin Yiwei to act in such a despicable manner?"

"It won't work if you don't do something!" He Guangyi looked at the eclipsed beauty with great interest, "You have guards in your house and soldiers in the city. If I don't do something, if you want to resist, wouldn't I have to spend a lot of money?

Trouble?"

"Don't come over here!" Zhang Tai growled, "What on earth did so-and-so commit?" As he said that, he suddenly shouted, "This so-and-so is the Luzhou Road Commander of the Third Rank of the Ming Dynasty, General Zhaoyi, and a relative of the emperor...

.”

"Stop, stop, stop!" He Guangyi raised his head, frowned and clasped his ears, "Why are you so loud?" He said, standing on the spot with his hands behind his back, and said with a joking smile, "Want to call someone to save you? Ha, let me tell you.

, your guards have been controlled by a certain person, and there are more than a hundred people in your house, and now they are all sleeping to death, and no one will come to help you even if you scream until your throat is broken! "

Having said this, He Guangyi smiled coldly again, shook his head and said, "I don't know whether it is the years that make people grow old, or whether it is the gentle country that wears away the ambition of heroes. In the early years, you were also a strong general, seven in and seven out of the Tatar army.

"Character, I didn't expect that now...hehe... my house looks like paper, it will break with a poke!"

"You...you..." Zhang Tai was completely frightened and speechless. His eyes kept changing, thinking of countermeasures.

"You know why so-and-so is here." He Guangyi looked down at his nails and blew off the dust inside. "You know better what Jin Yiwei does. Do you want to follow us decently, or do we invite you?" He said

Then he raised his head and said, "I'll give you three times to think about it!"

Then, he stretched out a finger and said, "One!"

"I..." Zhang Tai was trembling all over, and he couldn't even hold the knife steady.

"Two!" He Guangyi said expressionlessly.

Zhang Tai was sweating profusely. He had done so many things secretly over the years that he couldn't remember any of them at the moment.

"Three!" He Guangyi sneered.

Fight out and join Prince Ning!

In a flash of lightning, Zhang Tai made up his mind, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"master...."

While the beauty was exclaiming, she was pushed towards He Guangyi by Zhang Tai.

With the beauty's body blocking him, Zhang Tai swung his sword and walked quickly.

To capture the thief, capture the king first. He was confident that he would be able to control He Guangyi in the blink of an eye, allowing the other Jinyi guards to use rat weapons.

But the next second, there was a loud bang.

Zhang Tai shivered and felt a spurt of hot blood spurting onto his face.

He clearly saw that the hot blood spurted out from the back of the beauty's head, with white brain matter in it.

He was stunned!

Poof, the beauty fell to the ground, half of her head was broken, and only her eyes were still open in vain.

"call!"

He Guangyi blew into the gun in his hand, and a faint smell of gunpowder began to fill the room.

"Come!" He Guangyi looked at Zhang Tai with the gun in his hand and said with a smile, "Come on!"

Zhang Tai didn't dare to move, as if he had seen a ghost.

"This thing still works!" He Guangyi said nonchalantly, and then he took out a paper-wrapped bullet as if Zhang Tai was no longer there.

He bit it open and spat.

Pour in the well-defined gunpowder and round projectiles, and finally compact them with iron bars.

Then, open the hammer and aim it at Zhang Tai again.

Zhang Tai didn't dare to move, he never dared to move.

Because when He Guangyi was loading, there were at least five muskets aimed at him.

"If you are obedient, things will take a while!" He Guangyi said softly, "Before I came, my master said that since you are a meritorious general, as long as you are obedient, I will not make things difficult for you!"

Zhang Tai was almost unsteady and staggered back.

"But if you don't know what to do, you can only punish the law on the spot!" He Guangyi continued to say coldly, "You are not the only one who died. The Jinyiwei has always eradicated the roots. Your three sons, six wives and concubines, as well as those in your family who depend on you

Nephews, nephews, their children, their wives... Oh, the men died, and the women became official prostitutes in the Jiaofang Department!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you cooperate or not. The people below you have received the emperor's orders and are stationed in the military camp!"

"You..." A blue vein appeared on Zhang Tai's forehead.

"Trust me and be obedient!" He Guangyi lowered his arms, "Cooperate with us and I will ensure that they are safe!"

"Can I...believe you?" Zhang Tai asked tremblingly.

"You don't have to believe it!" He Guangyi stared at him, "The choice is in your hands!"

There was silence in the room. After a while, there was a clang and the knife in Zhang Tai's hand fell to the ground.

"That's right!" He Guangyi stepped forward, took off his cloak and put it on Zhang Tai, "Cooperating is your best way out!"

The next second, Zhang Tai, who was shaking with his eyes closed, had his arms tied behind his back by several Jinyi guards and was forcibly dragged away.

"Lao Wu, take people to open the city gate and welcome the troops into the city!"

He Guangyi said something, but no one agreed. He turned around and asked, "Lao Wu?"

Han Wu, a member of the Qianhu family in charge of the Jinyi Guards, was squatting on the ground in a daze, looking at the beauty with regret.

"Damn you!" He Guangyi yelled.

"What a pity!" Han Wu raised his head, "Dutang, look, what a pity for such a beautiful woman!"

"Damn it!" He Guangyi cursed, "The one who just died is still warm, you can play with it!"

Han Wu swallowed, looked at it reluctantly, pinched it quickly, stood up and ran outside.

~

After half a stick of incense, Han Wu rushed to the city gate with a group of soldiers.

The gates of Hefei City are opened.

Outside the city, Ping An, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly stood up and whistled.

The lying war horse also stood up in an instant, roaring lowly while shaking the mane on its neck.

Ping An got on his horse and said, "Enter the city!"
