The sentry in the dark recognized Shen Lie, and the alarm was lifted immediately.
Du Xuan and the others rushed out of their hiding places: "Young Master!"
Before they could get closer, Dai Yu couldn't wait to ask Lu Bao and Shi Yan if they had returned from Shuangpo Gorge.
Du Xuan anxiously answered no, and turned to Shen Lie who was getting off the horse: "Master, since you haven't come back, we have no idea. We wanted to send more people to Shuangpo Gorge, but we are afraid of bad things!"
Dai Yu's face turned pale: "So Master, your inference is related to Drunken Deer, so..."
Shen Lie looked at him silently and then looked at Zhai Jinsheng: "Are those refugees here?"
"Here we come, the first few people have been controlled by us, and all the refugees are in the West Village."
"Okay." Shen Lie said.
When he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, Shen Lie remained silent the whole way.
Du Xuan asked Dai Yu in a low voice what happened.
Dai Yu felt heavy in his heart and shook his head, too tired to speak.
When pushing open the bedroom door, Shen Lie stopped, turned his head slightly and said, "Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes!" Du Xuan said hurriedly, "I'll deliver it right away!"
Not long after Shen Lie entered the room, a light was turned on. The quiet candlelight was slightly weak, and there was only one candle.
When Du Xuan brought the food in, he saw that he had changed his clothes.
The extremely light and simple black gown with waist and sleeves is the best match for her majestic figure.
He was sitting at the table and looking at a map.
The candlelight cast a clear light on his face. His young and handsome face was expressionless, his brows were focused, and there was a trace of sharpness and cold reason hidden in his eyes.
Du Xuan put the food on the table and looked at the map in front of him, his anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
Although Shen Lie was silent when he was depressed, Du Xuan saw the energy in Shen Lie now.
"Master," Du Xuan said, "are you going out?"
Shen Lie did not raise his head: "After eating, I will rest for two hours and then leave. I will be back at noon tomorrow at the earliest."
"Where are you going?"
"Shuangpo Gorge."
Du Xuan nodded and whispered: "Master, pay attention to safety."
"Um."
Du Xuan didn't stay long, turned around and left.
Shen Lie had no appetite, but in order to maintain his strength, he ate all the food Du Xuan sent.
After a simple wash, he lay on the bed fully clothed, wanting to sleep as soon as possible to recharge his energy, but when he closed his eyes, he saw a scene like Shura hell.
Opening his eyes again, Shen Lie quietly looked at the darkness in front of him. After a long time, he stood up and took out the small wooden box placed next to his sword.
The fragrance is light and elegant, charming but not greasy, and the slender fingertips brush against the patterns on the wood. Although I know it was not carved or made by her own hands, thinking about the way she handed it to me, it has a refreshing effect.
The window sash facing the north was pushed open by Shen Lie.
The moonlight was bright and clear, and the gentle night wind blew in, raising the green hair on his temples and stirring up the fragrance of the wooden box in his hand.
Except where she is, there is no place in heaven and earth for her but on earth.
Under the same bright moon sky, Wuqu, dozens of miles away, encountered the most violent surprise attack since the Gengyin Year.
As the first populous city in Huazhou facing the southeast, after Qian Xianmin captured Huazhou, he vigorously developed the city defense, making Wuqu's city wall extremely strong.
But tonight's surprise attack came silently and without a trace. By the time the Wuqu defenders discovered it, they had already approached the city.
The war drums were beating loudly and the whole city was in shock. The governor and deputy general who Qian Xianmin had left behind in Wuqu each got up from the beautiful woman's couch and hurried to the barracks.
The streets were in chaos, and people who had packed their bags long ago and were ready to flee were fleeing with their valuables.
The whole city of Yixing was massacred by the new rebel army, and they could not withstand any fright.
The army was in chaos, and Governor Zhao who was rushing to the North City barracks was blocked halfway. The fear in his chest turned into overwhelming anger. He got out of the carriage, stood in front of the carriage, stretched out his hand and said: "Kill me! Kill everyone who blocks the road! Kill them all.
them!"
The people who screamed after hearing this had no time to run away, and many of them had become dead souls.
Screams, cries, cries for help, shouts, countless waves of sound merged into waves in the huge Wuqu City, and every wave turned into a boiling stream of dripping blood.
There are not many soldiers and horses left in the city defense. Unlike the Lin family's soldiers and horses, the Chen family's soldiers and horses, or the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses formed by the refugees before, this time the enemy is fierce and brave, and their swords are sharp, leaving no room for negotiation.
Governor Zhao didn't even have to run to the Beicheng Barracks. After receiving the news halfway, General Shi from the Beicheng Barracks directly opened the Beicheng Gate with the rest of his troops, and no one was left alive.
As for the governor of Zhao and other deputy generals, General Shi left a message to wish them good luck.
Governor Zhao cursed loudly and sprayed Shi Baijun until his head was covered with blood. Then he angrily scolded his coachman and told him to continue going north and catch up with Shi from the North City Gate.
At dawn, Zhao Tang took the lead and led his troops to overcome all the defenses in Wuqu Southeast, rushed into the city, and completely occupied Wuqu.
Zhao Tang was not used to seeing the mess in the city, so he took people directly to the government office.
The rest of the men had a clear division of labor. Those who grabbed food grabbed food, and those who collected armor and weapons also went about their own business.
Not long after Zhao Tang took off his armor, soldiers from outside came to report that the body of Governor Zhao had been found in the north of the city.
When Shi Baijun escaped, he had a hand in reserve. He guessed that Governor Zhao would also use the north gate, so before leaving, he ordered his soldiers to block the north gate with sandbags used to strengthen the embankment.
The purpose is very simple. With such a big piece of fat as Governor Zhao left in Wuqu, he will definitely attract the attention of most of the enemy's troops.
But Governor Zhao could not wait until the siege troops came, and he was beaten to death by the angry people first.
Zhao Tang said "Oh" after hearing this, turned his head and ordered the guards to go out of the city and tell Mr. Wang about this.
Wang Gu did not attack with the army. After sending Tao Yinhe away, he fell asleep in the command tent.
When Zhao Tang's guards rode towards the command camp, Shen Lie, who had been traveling all night, reined in his horse and stopped in front of Yuanyi Valley in Shuangpo Gorge.
He raised his head slightly, and the rising morning light shone on him. Because he was running in the wind, his hair on the temples hidden under the brim of his hat was a little messy, and his handsome face had lost its color. His originally fair face was as cold as cold jade.
As far as he could see, six corpses hung high in the distance.
He was too far away to see his face clearly, but his outline and body shape were unmistakable.
Hanging them up so high was not an insult to their corpses, but a way to show them to Shen Lie.
Previously, he had always concealed his murderous intentions under the undercurrent, and could still pretend to maintain the so-called benevolence and friendship on the surface. Now, he has completely ruined his face, leaving no trace of kindness, let alone any escape route.
Shen Lie didn't care. This time he went to Zuilu to tear up the window paper. The other party took the initiative to tear it open, which saved him a lot of trouble.
However, the way they tore up the paper was too cruel.
Among these six secret guards from the Guo family, who has never served the Guo family through fire and water and served them loyally?
The birds are gone and the bows are hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooking.
The birds are not yet gone, and the rabbits are not yet dead.
So I was too busy to put "my own people" into the frying pan first.
Shen Lie withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, hiding the waves in his eyes. After a pause, he tightened the reins, and the horse turned around and headed towards the narrow mountain road on the other side.
