He could imagine what kind of situation Jincheng would be in once the barbarians marched directly into Dahuang Mansion.
After the anger.
Nie Xu also calmed down: "Why has there been no news from the court about this matter? Even when the barbarians attacked Ningshan City, we only found out later."
“I’m afraid Master Nie doesn’t know yet. As early as two days ago, evil spirits attacked Dahuang Mansion in large numbers. Evil-level monsters appeared in many places, causing quite a large-scale disaster.
Most of the power of the imperial court in Dahuang Mansion was used to suppress evil and evil disasters.
The three major demon-suppressing divisions also had to use their strongest talents, and finally the barbarians had an opportunity to take advantage of them."
Chu Ding’s expression was stern, but what he said made Nie Xu’s expression change again.
to be honest.
He did not receive this information at all.
If Chu Ding hadn't said it, Nie Xu wouldn't have known that the situation in Dahuang Mansion had fallen into such a chaotic state.
After a moment.
An idea flashed in Nie Xu's mind, and his expression suddenly changed.
“When the demons and evil spirits launched a large-scale attack, the barbarians also launched a large-scale attack at the right time. Could it be that there is some connection between the two?”
He thought of a terrible thing.
That means the barbarians have joined forces with the evil spirits.
If so, the problem would be serious.
After all, a single evil force can make Da Qin very anxious. The barbarians are also a big hidden danger on weekdays, but they are not that big of a threat compared to the evil forces.
However.
If the two join forces, it will be a major disaster for Da Qin.
"Probably!"
Chu Ding nodded slightly, agreeing with Nie Xu's conjecture.
Hear the words.
Nie Xu looked at him: "General Chu, I propose that the Black Tiger Army enter the city to garrison. Now that the barbarians have captured Ningshan City, Dahuang Mansion is far away from the capital of the Central Plains, and the capital may not be able to make a reasonable deployment in a short time.
At the moment, we, the people in Dahuang Mansion, can only choose to save ourselves.
Although Jincheng is not an important city, it is still a large city with tall and strong walls. The Black Tiger Army is defending the city. As long as there are not too many barbarian armies, I believe there will not be any big problems."
On weekdays, when nothing happens, the Black Tiger Army is stationed outside the city in order to avoid disturbing the people.
At the same time, the Black Tiger Army of more than 10,000 people also needs a wide space for daily training.
It is not difficult to accommodate 12,000 Black Tiger troops in Jincheng, but it is impossible to free up a suitable training venue.
This is also the reason why the Black Tiger Army is stationed outside the city.
But it’s different now.
Who knows when the barbarian army will arrive at the gate of Jincheng. Only by entering the city to defend can we hope to withstand the barbarian offensive.
To this.
Chu Ding did not refuse.
Soon, the horn sounded.
All the soldiers who were sleeping in the camp were gathered as soon as possible, and then led by Chu Ding, they marched toward Jincheng.
the other side.
Nie Xu also returned to the Yamen.
The news he got from Chu Ding today made him a little uneasy.
“Ningshan City was destroyed, and the Qin garrison’s casualties must have been considerable. Now there are demons and troubles in Dahuang Mansion, and they cooperate with the barbarians internally and externally. It can be said that the situation is precarious!”
In the study, Nie Xu sighed.
Precarious!
Once the Great Wilderness was captured by the barbarians, the entire Great Qin would be affected.
Even though Dahuang Mansion is just on the border of Da Qin and does not have rich supplies, its geographical location is extremely important.
As long as the barbarians occupy Dahuang Mansion, they are qualified to threaten the Central Plains.
At that time.
It was like a knife being placed directly on Da Qin's neck. As long as the sword slashed through it, Da Qin might directly cut off its hundreds of years of foundation.
Get rid of distracting thoughts in your mind.
Nie Xu’s eyes fell on a piece of white paper spread out on the table, grinding it, writing an article.
That is what he likes to do most in his daily life.
Whenever something happens and makes me upset, I will write articles to calm myself down.
Gradually.
Nie Xu was completely immersed in the article in front of him. He waved the brush in his hand, and the fonts were like dragons and snakes dancing wildly. Although it looked sloppy, it gave people a different feeling.
Hurrah!
The howling wind sounded in the silent night sky, as if there was an innocent soul wailing.
The plaque on the Yamen creaked in the strong wind and was about to fall down at any moment.
boom
The plaque fell off and fell to pieces on the ground.
The considerable movement instantly attracted the attention of the yamen guards stationed inside the yamen.
"what's going on!"
“I don’t know why, but a strong wind suddenly came up, blowing off the plaque and breaking it into pieces.”
Several government officials looked at the fallen plaques, their expressions were a little unsightly.
Especially the inexplicable wind and the now torn plaque made them feel that something was unusual.
Suddenly.
Liu Jian immediately said: "Clean up all the broken plaques and report them to your Excellency tomorrow, then find a craftsman to make a new one.
Others will continue to patrol the Yamen, and if there are any abnormalities, they must report them as soon as possible."
"good!"
The remaining government servants all nodded.
Immediately, someone picked up the broken plaque from the ground, then took it outside the Yamen and threw it away.
Woooo!
Like the sound of a woman crying, it sounded in the ears of the two government officials.
"who!"
“Who is causing trouble here!”
The two government officials trembled and looked around in panic.
There are two lanterns hanging above the door of the Yamen, which can dispel some of the darkness.
With the help of the faint light, the two government officials saw a long-haired woman squatting there next to the stone lion on the left, with her head buried deeply in her knees. The crying sound came from here.
When they saw the woman, the two government officials were startled again.
But quickly.
The two of them felt relieved after talking about it.
From the back of the woman, she has long black hair hanging down her back and is wearing a plain long skirt. Just from the back, you can see that the woman must be a graceful beauty.
“Lao Zhou, why don’t you go and see the situation?”
One of the government officials bumped his colleague with his elbow, and his throat rolled involuntarily.
Hear the words.
Lao Zhou also made some movements, but did not move.
"Old Wu, this is not good. A woman is crying here in the dead of night. It is not normal no matter how you look at it. Why don't you go back!"
Although the woman looks beautiful from the back.
Especially in the dead of night, a woman appearing alone here is indeed a bit disturbing.
but.
He can also understand that there must be something unusual about something unexpected.
Especially when evil spirits caused trouble in Jincheng not long ago, it is even more worrying.
Hearing these words, the yamen servant named Lao Wu also looked hesitant.
But it didn’t take long for him to shake his head.
"The Lord of the Demon Suppression Department heard that all the evil spirits in Jin City have been exterminated, and a woman came to the Yamen crying late at night. Maybe she had some grievance. As a member of the Yamen, how can we do nothing?
reason."
Speaking of which.
Lao Wu chuckled, first discarded the fragments of the plaque in his hand near the Yamen, and then walked behind the woman.
When he really walked in, he could clearly see how attractive the woman's back was, and at the same time, there was a faint fragrance that made people unable to help but indulge in it.
A time.
Lao Wu felt a little itchy.
But he also had professional ethics and did not act like a gangster. Instead, he asked softly.
“The girl is crying here in the middle of the night. I wonder what happened?”
The words have fallen.
The woman just cried without making any response.
Seeing this, Lao Wu smiled again and said: "Girl, you can rest assured, I am from the Yamen. Master Nie has always been a man of destiny in Jincheng. If you have any grievances, just speak up and the Yamen will definitely seek justice for you!"
The woman’s cry became quieter.
Then a gentle voice came out intermittently.
"me……"
The voice was gentle and low, and coupled with the sobs choked by crying for a long time, Lao Wu couldn't hear clearly.
He couldn't help but move closer, almost touching the woman's hair. The faint fragrance instantly became much stronger, and there seemed to be some strange smell mixed in the rich fragrance.
at this time.
Old Wu finally heard what the woman said clearly.
“I died so miserably”
The voice that was supposed to be gentle suddenly turned cold and harsh, making people feel as if their heart was being grasped by a big hand, making it almost impossible to breathe.
at this time.
The woman turned her head and looked at Old Wu who looked horrified.
With the light from the door of the Yamen, a rotten and maggot-infested face was clearly reflected, and the strange smell mixed with the fragrance suddenly turned into a stench.
that moment.
Old Wu is like falling into an ice cellar.
“Old Wu, what happened?”
Lao Zhou, who was standing not far away, looked at Lao Wu who was standing there, not knowing what he was doing, and couldn't help but feel strong curiosity.
Because they are not very close to each other and it is night time.
There was no way he could see the woman's face clearly.
Sudden.
Old Wu's body trembled, and a cold and defeated palm passed directly from his back. A scarlet beating heart was exposed in the air. Then the palm grabbed the heart and pulled it back. Old Wu's body seemed to have lost its support and fell down.
on the ground.
that moment.
Lao Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted, and his vision was clearer than ever.
In his sight, Old Wu's eyes widened and he fell to the ground dead. A large hole opened in his chest, and a large amount of blood poured out.
the other side.
A man with a rotten face and a maggot-ridden face was grabbing a heart and eating it. The bright red blood spattered out, which was so dazzling.
“Yao, Yaoxie has killed someone!”
Lao Zhou yelled wildly, and at the same time he rolled and crawled towards the Yamen.
However.
Before he could step into the Yamen gate, he was pierced by a scarlet palm, and a sharp pain hit him. When Lao Zhou looked down, he saw a palm sticking out from his chest.
Moreover, there was a beating object covered in blood in his palm.
he knows.
That is your own heart.
Not long after, Lao Zhou completely lost consciousness.
