The war was about to break out, and the sound of killing was so loud that the noise of the battle between the two armies could be heard for several miles around the city lord's palace.
The people in the city thought it was another war and closed their doors and windows.
Even the Huainan soldiers who heard the strange noise looked indifferent at this moment——
"Hey, this movement is really loud!"
"Yeah, I don't know what Marshal Gongsun is doing?"
"In my opinion, they must be cleaning up the Qianjia family!"
"I see. No wonder he kicked us out of the City Lord's Mansion and ordered us not to go anywhere within ten miles of the City Lord's Mansion before dawn. I bet he is afraid of being taken advantage of?"
"Shhh! Do you want to die when you speak so loudly? Do you think you are the only smart one? If you want to survive, you must first learn to control your mouth!"
"What the elder brother taught me is..."
Gongsun Wanqian, who had already died long ago, could not have imagined that all his plans for the Qian family would end up digging his own grave.
Not only was his life and death in doubt, but the two thousand elite soldiers were now in a state of death.
The friendly forces were clearly within ten miles of the surrounding area, but with their generals at their side, they didn't even realize that their country was suffering from disaster. They were completely indifferent and "seeking death without saving anything"...
The battle in the west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion quickly came to an end due to the absolutely overwhelming force of Chen Shen joining the battle.
Two thousand Huaibei rebels were all killed, but Qianjia only paid the price of thirty-four killed and more than a hundred wounded.
This result is like a dream to Qian Minghai!
He knew deeply that the reason why his side suffered so little in the battle was because of the help of the mysterious masked man.
In addition to having unfathomable profound energy, the mysterious man also had twenty-one powerful war puppets, killing everyone in all directions, leaving Huainan's elite soldiers and generals without even a chance to escape.
After the battle, Qian Minghai led the crowd to Chen Shen and knelt down on the ground without saying a word: "The whole Qian family, thank you for saving your life!"
Chen Shen is just a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, but at this moment, he is kowtowed by a middle-aged uncle and calls him "senior". This scene is really dumbfounding.
He coughed twice and replied: "Children of the Qian family, please get up quickly. I am here just to be a loyal person entrusted by others."
"Next, I still need your cooperation to take all the clan members away from this place safely."
"My benefactor, no matter what you say, I will not dare to disobey you!"
"Okay, you are like this..."
In the second half of the night, the frost became more and more intense.
The shouts of killing in the west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion had long since stopped. For some unknown reason, a thick white mist rose up in the courtyard, obscuring the sight and hearing.
"What's going on?"
"Who knows? Don't worry about it! With Master Gongsun and two thousand elite soldiers and guards here, are you still afraid of how big a storm those thousands of family members can cause?"
"Well, that's true..."
In the invisible white mist, Chen Shen put all the people from the Qian Family who had taken Ecstasy without any resistance into the animal bag.
Then, he used the power of the blood-devouring rainbow thunder to ignite all the woody and grassy objects in the courtyard. In an instant, the fire was raging and the smoke was billowing.
However, because of the mist of the "Xuanwu Array Compass", the smoke and dust from the fire were not too conspicuous.
Chen Shen casually picked up a bow and an arrow on the ground, tied the long-written message to the arrow shaft, and then filled the bowstring——
"Whoosh!"
"Kite!"
The arrow pierced the rockery in the center of the fish pond.
There is a flooded fish pond below, and no matter how strong the fire is, it will never be able to burn the arrow-feathered secret letter stuck on the rockery in a short period of time.
It wasn't until the fire became so powerful that it became uncontrollable, before Chen Shen withdrew the Xuan Mist Formation and left quietly.
In a moment, the thick fog cleared.
The west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was already filled with flames and thick smoke!
"Oh my god, look, look, what's going on?"
"The water is running away, the water is running away!"
"Go put out the fire quickly!"
"No! Marshal Gongsun has an order. We must not set foot within ten miles of the city lord's palace before sunrise!"
Everyone in the Huainan Army was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
It didn't take long for this matter to reach the ears of Xia Yufeng, the deputy commander of the army.
As the only young prince of Huainan still alive, Xia Yufeng firmly believed that Gongsun Wanqian would never actually behead him for "disobeying military orders."
Therefore, this strong man immediately moved from the city head to the city lord's mansion in the center of Qianxi City, and shouted in a loud voice: "Where is Marshal Gongsun? Please come out quickly and answer!"
Xia Yufeng called several times, but still no one answered.
In his ears, there was only the roar of raging fire, and in front of his eyes, he could only see beams burning and buildings collapsing.
"Oops!" An unprecedented sense of uneasiness surged into his heart, and Xia Yufeng hurriedly ordered: "Quickly put out the fire! If General Gongsun is blamed, I will be responsible for everything!"
"yes!"
While Xia Yufeng was organizing the fire extinguishing, Chen Shen, the instigator of the whole incident, had already quietly gone out of the city and drove away in the red rabbit.
If he knew that Xia Yufeng, the son of Xia Chunqiu, was also in Qianhu City, this young man would not mind killing one more person.
Fifteen years ago, Xia Chunqiu colluded with the bandits and massacred Chen Shen's father and third uncle.
The second uncle Chen Xiaohai was left permanently disabled, and the whereabouts of the sister-in-law Chen Xiaoyun are still unknown, and her life or death is uncertain.
Today, fifteen years later, Xia Chunqiu once again colluded with the Taikou general Huo Lin and almost killed Mr. Chen!
This hatred was enough for Chen Shen to kill the entire Huainan King family without hesitation...
"Huhu, huhu..."
The fire in the west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was too strong, and the Huainan Army's rescue operation came too late.
By the time the fire was extinguished, the entire west courtyard was in ruins.
Those charred and incinerated corpses were even more difficult to identify, and they had no idea who the deceased were!
"Damn, darn, darn, darn!" Xia Yufeng almost went crazy.
Although he could not determine the life and death of Gongsun Wanqian from the corpse, the fire spread and the entire city lord's palace was turned upside down, but General Gongsun was not even able to leave.
Xia Yufeng knew that the other party was probably in danger...
"Report——"
"My young prince, when I was cleaning the courtyard, I found this on the rockery in the middle of the fish pond."
As he spoke, the military prince handed over an arrow with both hands.
Xia Yufeng grabbed the arrow and cut the bow string that bound the secret letter with a swipe of his fingertips. Several silver notes fell down.
He took a closer look and was immediately confused: "This is... a banknote totaling 500 million gold coins?"
After staring at the banknote for a while, Xia Yufeng frowned.
Because he recognized that these banknotes did not belong to the Kingdom of Daxia, but were banknotes from the Kou Kingdom stamped with the exclusive seal of the Taikou royal family!
"Kill someone and leave a note. This, could this be related to that legend?"
Xia Yufeng suddenly remembered that the Prince of Daxia was assassinated not long ago, and there seemed to be such a rumor: "After the killer kills someone, he will be kind enough to leave a 10% commission to take care of the deceased's family."
In the past, Xia Yufeng only regarded this as a fallacy spread through false rumors.
He never thought that this incident was actually true, and that it happened under his nose just today...
