Dawn is no longer far away now, but usually this time is the darkest time of the day.
But today is different, because the Wusun Palace located at the highest point of Chigu City is bright, and with the cold wind of early winter, the order that lights up the entire night sky seems to be spreading outward.
Is there a fire in the palace?
This is a doubt that spreads in the hearts of many people, but neither the people who are preparing to start work nor those who just plan to get up at night and go back to sleep have no intention of changing their established behavior, because... that is the palace.
If it was just an ordinary palace fire, then the people would inevitably be mobilized and the army would be mobilized to put out the fire. But like now, there is no unnecessary noise on the streets, only some vague sounds coming from the inner city, all of which
Everyone knows that this fire probably involves a lot of people, and it is far beyond the ability of ordinary people to participate in it.
Not to mention that the intrigues between the two princes are no longer a matter of a day or two. Although there are rumors in a small area that the eldest prince has reconciled with the third prince, most people still believe that the two princes will not shake hands.
Peaceful - even if a Han comes to make the situation more complicated.
It is precisely for this reason that when everyone saw the fire and found that the streets were a little too deserted, they immediately thought of seizing the heir, so everyone was even more afraid to participate. Anyway, no matter who is the king of Wusun.
It won't change much. As long as it's not the infamous second prince, the people of Wusun won't worry about their future lives.
After all, although the eldest prince is a little impulsive, he is still quite kind to the Wusun people in Wusun. He even used his own livestock to help herders who suffered from snow disasters. The third prince benefited from the support of his queen.
, because the queen and her team's management of Wusun over the years has greatly improved the people's lives, so the third prince can hold on to the eldest prince in terms of reputation.
As for parricide, there are too many such things happening on the grassland. Even the grassland people themselves feel that if an old alpha wolf cannot lead his subjects, he should be driven away, and the old wolf should be driven away.
The killing of the wolf king itself is a manifestation of the new wolf king proving his strength. On the grassland, being too modest is not called a virtue.
But what the people don't know yet is that the two princes they were looking forward to have already gone to see Sister Xuanwu, and the only remaining prince is the cruel second prince they least want to see.
prince.
But it's not all bad news for them, because the cruel second prince's current situation is not much better.
Huan Wei was very angry now, very angry. Even if Di Mi's body had been chopped into meat paste by him, he could not vent this anger, not to mention that his current state was completely unable to support him from making such a drastic move.
It is no exaggeration to say that kicking Di Mi's body was a life-threatening act, not to mention wielding a sword, which would only cause the wounds on his body to burst again, or even tear the wounds even wider.
More bleeding.
If he could be allowed to sit quietly against the wall and rest for a while, it would be of great benefit to his body. Even if he drank too much in the past, he had not given up on secretly training his body and improving his physical fitness.
He is still much stronger than the average Wusun soldier, and proper rest can keep him in a relatively safe state.
It's a pity that a wave of attacks that came from nowhere disrupted the rhythm that Guanhui and others had expected.
There was no extra time to rest. After hurriedly treating the wounds and eating something to restore HP, Huan Sui and the mysterious man from Kushan had to lead their men on an escape journey. And they finally understood that now
There was probably no one in the Wusun Palace, not only because they didn’t see the palace residents who were panicking because of the fire when they escaped, but
At the same time, it is also because since the other party can think of using something that repels insects and ants as a fire starter, the important people in the palace also need to be "protected" in advance. After all, Queen Wusun not only has outstanding appearance, but also almost all Wusun
The nobles all believed that this woman secretly hid a large amount of wealth while assisting Pi Mi in handling government affairs.
A beautiful woman and a generous "dowry" would definitely make her heart beat.
Therefore, the mysterious man and Huanwei began to doubt whether the series of events in front of them were too coincidental.
After all, Guan Sui believed that he was hiding very well, and Di Mi and Yuan Mi's attention should be on Li Shushi. But now, not only did Di Mi set up a trap in the palace early, but there was even an unknown force outside the palace.
.If they had not received the news that Li Shushi had begun to attack the Grand Prince's Mansion before entering the palace, perhaps they would have thought that Li Shushi had defected.
However, even if Li Shushi did not defect, the speed and extent of this kind of news leakage are really suspicious.
In this way, not only was his body in a weak state, but also because of these thoughts, he was extremely angry. Although he was still alive, his condition was very poor. The mysterious man even felt that there seemed to be a toxin reaction in his body, but it was not.
There are no obvious signs, so the mysterious man and his men are not sure.
Of course, because they had to move all the time to avoid fire arrows or buildings that collapsed due to fire, the Kushan people did not have enough time and space to conduct detailed inspections even if they wanted to, so even if they had doubts in their hearts, they couldn't care less now.
Anyway, as long as Guan Sui can still breathe, even if he dies, he will have to wait until he ascends the throne.
But of course, when these people went through all kinds of hardships and rushed out of the sea of fire in the palace, they discovered... No, maybe they had expected that they would have to face a new group of enemies, who must also have burned down the palace.
That group of people.
But what they didn't expect was that the other party seemed to have expected that they would escape from here. Not only were there the largest number of soldiers surrounding this place, but they also saw a character they had never expected - Gui's third uncle Gui.
extravagant.
"Uncle, what do you want to do? Do you want to intervene in the fight between our brothers?"
"Haha! My little nephew, if you just invited the Han man to help you, I can't say anything. After all, he was a participant allowed by my brother Wang. But why did you choose our enemy!
Or maybe the monks from the Kushan Kingdom behind you are willing to surrender and become a member of our Wusun Kingdom? Then I will welcome you."
"You...!" Although Gui Mi said that he broke the original verbal agreement because of the Kushan people, Gui Mi is not a three-year-old child, and he does not believe that the other party's thoughts are so simple. This Gui Mi obviously
He already had such ambitions, but he concealed them very well. Under Gui Mi's control, now he and Di Mi are both losing. To put it bluntly, even if he wants to fight with Gui Mi,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed even if the fish is dead and the net is broken.
Of course, if it was Di Mi standing here, perhaps Gui Mi should accuse him of colluding with the Xianbei people.
"Come here, arrest the criminal Guan Sui and his gang members who betrayed the country and killed their brothers and fathers. If anyone dares to resist during this process, I will kill them all!"
Before Gui Mi could think of an excuse to rebut or delay, Gui Mi couldn't wait to take the lead. Those Wusun people were okay, but would those Kushan people surrender obediently? It's obviously impossible. So it can be said that Gui Mi
He planned to silence him directly.
Although the previous battles and escaping from the fire consumed a lot of physical strength of Gushan's men and Kushan people, they must have shown tenacious fighting spirit in the face of the aggressive enemy - perhaps because they already knew that if they did not choose to resist,
They might die an even more humiliating death, so facing this inevitable situation, they completely let go of their hands and feet.
Especially those Kushan people. After forming a formation, they not only reduced the attack area, but also seemed to have received some kind of bonus. Under the command of the mysterious man, although they were unable to counterattack, their defense was more than enough.
Guishan was protected at the core position by the Kushan people, while Guishan's dead soldiers continued to fight around the Kushan military formation with the Kushan people as the core. Although it was more dangerous than the Kushan people, it was still more dangerous than the Kushan people.
When fighting alone, there are fewer directions to be attacked.
Suddenly, Gui Mi's troops were unable to do anything against this group of people.
"Melee troops retreat, archers fire arrows!"
Although the protection of tiger charms and talismans can prevent our own attacks from absorbing HP, it cannot prevent effects such as bleeding. This means that even our own personnel may be shot into hedgehogs if there is no timely treatment.
People will also die. Now that the situation is advantageous, Gui Mi naturally does not need to sacrifice his subordinates.
But he still underestimated his opponent a little. Obviously, the group of stick monks was a very outstanding elite force. Although many of Guan Sui's dead soldiers died in the rain of arrows, the group of stick monks not only successfully blocked most of the arrows.
Yu, and even took advantage of this little chaos to break out, and even Gui Mi's army felt vaguely unable to stop it under the attack of the opponent.
Faced with a situation that was beyond his expectation and even made the situation a little out of control, Gui Mi sighed helplessly. He knew very well that it would be difficult for him to keep those Kushan people. Because he was worried that if he planned to devote all his efforts to retain them,
If you want to defeat the opponent, will that group of people choose to fight to the death when they are unable to break through? And it is absolutely possible for the opponent's skills to do so.
Faced with the impending victory, Gui Mi was still unwilling to take risks. Although not being able to catch the Kushan people would make him lack sufficient evidence for his accusation against Gui Mi, it was still better than dying himself and benefiting others.
"Atada, let go of smoke at those Kushans!"
With a burst of inconspicuous green smoke and a deliberately blown wind, it rushed towards the Kushan people's military formation. After a while, the mysterious man suddenly turned pale with fright.
Damn it, die!
ps: Today is the day when Jin Zhongdu, which is today’s Beijing city, was captured by the Mongols. Although Jin Xuanzong later moved the capital to Bianliang City, Nanjing, the companion capital, the decline of the Jin Dynasty was irreversible.
ps2: Today is the day when the largest naval battle in World War I broke out, the Battle of Jutland. Although the German warships were more durable, they were limited by the British's larger fleet, so even if they defeated the many with less, they were sunk.
There were more British warships, but in the end they were blocked by the British at home until the end of World War I with no chance to come out.
This was also one of the battles in which Britain's maritime supremacy was most vividly demonstrated.
ps3: Today is World No Tobacco Day, cherish life and stay away from tobacco...
