Zhuge Changmin looked up to the sky and roared loudly: "All the troops listen to the order. The righteous soldiers of Jingba have captured Jiankang. Huan Xuan's puppet dynasty has been overthrown. Now, if you want to atone for your sins, just
Follow me to fight back at Liyang and defeat the false governor Diao Kui. I will ask for credit for you in front of Brother Jinu and Brother Xile! If anyone still wants to protect the traitor of false Chu, then Diao Yun and his lackeys will suffer the consequences.
!”
All the troops shouted in unison: "We are willing to join the army with Zhuge to fight against rebellion, anyway!"
Without saying a word, Zhuge Changmin ran towards Liyang with a big halberd in hand: "Follow me quickly, don't let Diao Kui run away!"
Fifteen miles west of Liyang City, there is an official post.
A group of more than 20 riders galloped from the direction of Liyang City. Five or six officials wearing leather armor and soap coats were riding in front while shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."
Come on, the governor is out on patrol, please step aside!"
However, this official road, which is usually densely populated, is now deserted. Even the vendors on the roadside are gone. Yes, Jiankang City across the river has been plunged into war, and
This Liyang has just experienced a war, and the people already know the secret of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so how can they come out to seek death at this time? However, in this way, our Diao Kui Diao Governor suffered a lot, and he went out of the city to set up defenses
The governor, there is only one idea in his mind at this moment. He quickly flees to the west, to Jiangzhou, to meet up with the governor Guo there, and then to meet Huan Xuan, and to make long-term plans. After all, since last night, the entire Liyang City has
The eyes of soldiers and civilians will glow green when they look at themselves, just like the feeling of a hungry wolf staring at food.
Finally, Diao Kui and his entourage stopped in front of the official post. The gates were open on all sides, and the courtyard inside was empty. Diao Kui frowned. He had been to this post five times, and the fat Yi Cheng would do it every time.
When I was three miles away from here, I knelt on the ground. The table on one side would be filled with fresh fruits and my favorite roast goose with honey sauce. It had been a few hours since I ran out of the city. When I thought of this,
His saliva unconsciously increased the amount of secretion, and his Adam's apple moved.
The sound of "Lord" brought Diao Kui back from his happy memories. It was his personal lieutenant Diao Zhan who spoke. Diao Kui looked at the empty space. Even the doors of several guest rooms were open and were blown by the wind.
The station was shaking, and he said angrily: "Azhan, I see, everyone is a little tired after running all night, why not take a rest here."
Diao Zhan frowned: "Lord, there is no one here anymore, and we can't provide drinks and food. There is no benefit to us staying here. We should go to Jiangzhou as soon as possible. Only when we reach Yuzhang can we be considered safe."
Diao Kui's face darkened: "Have the Eight Bandits from Beijing crossed the river now and occupied Liyang? When we came out of Liyang, we left someone behind to give a signal, saying that if there were any pursuers, we would light up cigarettes.
, did any of you see the smoke coming from behind?"
All the followers looked at each other and shook their heads. Diao Kui jumped off his horse and walked towards the yard: "Okay, no matter whether there is anyone or not, let's rest here for a while and eat some solid food, and then...
"
Suddenly, a person walked out of the main room opposite. Diao Zhan, who was beside Diao Kui, quickly blocked in front of Diao Kui and got into a stance. However, Diao Kui was startled at first and then started laughing:
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Mingyue. Didn't you join the army with Yang and they went to Jiankang to escort the traitor Zhuge Changmin? Why are you here?"
Mingyue was still dressed in black clothes and a white crane mask, holding the long sword in her arms, and said calmly: "Diao Governor, my senior brother asked me to come over and bring you a message. This is related to your life."
Diao Kui's expression changed, and Diao Zhan in front of him said angrily: "Wangyou, do you know who you are talking to?"
The muscles on Diao Kui's face twitched, and he blocked Diao Zhan and said: "It doesn't matter, at this time, life and death are the most important thing, so don't worry about some common customs. Mingyue, what do you have to say, senior fellow apprentice?"
Mingyue walked forward with a smile. Diao Zhan still wanted to step forward to stop him, but Diao Kui pulled him away and said in a deep voice: "A Zhan, Miss Mingyue saved us, she is one of our own, we have to..."
Before he finished speaking, he only felt a flash of white light, followed by a cold feeling in his stomach. The long sword in Mingyue's hand was unsheathed, and with just one blow, it pierced into Diao Kui's heart, and Diao Kui was in
The last words he heard before losing consciousness were the cold and ruthless words from Mingyue's mouth: "Senior brother asked me to tell you, go on your way with peace of mind, the whole Diao family will be reunited with you soon!" And Diao Zhan's roar
The sound of bows and arrows pierced the air, the screams of the guards outside, and the sound of swords clashing, rang in his ears, his eyes blacked out, and he died.
Half an hour later, the inn was still the same. Diao Kui's body fell in the middle of the courtyard. The blood had solidified under his body. Diao Zhan's body was leaning against the corner of the courtyard wall. His body was full of bows and arrows. At least
Sixty-seven sword wounds had left his armor in pieces, and the big sword in his hand was also stained with blood. More than a dozen masked swordsmen in black were carrying out the bloody corpses of four companions.
, together with the corpses of the dozen or so Diao Kui guards, were placed on a pile of firewood.
Tao Yuanming covered his face with a black scarf and stood side by side with Mingyue. He looked at Diao Zhan's body and shook his head: "This boy is very brave. He was shot by an arrow and could kill three of my secret guards. Junior sister, you are not injured."
Bar."
Mingyue said calmly: "His sword skills are very good, but they are mostly used to defeat enemies on the battlefield. I didn't give him a chance to hit me. You don't have to let people shoot arrows, and you shouldn't let people come up to help.
This will block my room to move."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Aren't I worried about you? I'm not as good at fighting as you are. Next time you should be the one to take charge. I won't cause any trouble."
Mingyue nodded: "Diao Kui has been killed, along with all his men, and there is no one left alive in Liyang who knows your identity. Zhuge Changmin and the others will be here soon. Let's leave here as soon as possible. Yes.
Do you want to go to Jingzhou as per your senior's instructions?"
A cold light flashed in Tao Yuanming's eyes: "No, we are not going to Jingzhou, we will stay in Liyang."
A trace of surprise flashed in Mingyue's eyes: "Why, haven't we followed the words of our seniors for more than ten years?"
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "I don't want to be manipulated by others all my life and be a pawn of others. Today, things are going to change. The era of some people controlling everything and controlling the world is coming to an end. Junior sister, we should live for ourselves, not
For others!”
Mingyue took off her mask, revealing a face that was about thirty years old, but with snow-white and pink skin, starry eyes and willow eyebrows, a beauty mark on the center of her eyebrows, and an extremely beautiful face. She smiled sweetly: "Senior Brother, I am here to follow my orders.
