"Thank you so much, Mr. Pei." Pei Xiner knelt down and saluted Pei Ji. She was originally an orphan and was raised by the Pei family. They taught her how to read, calligraphy, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learned how to disguise herself.
Deeply grateful.
"Pei Zixiong, please immediately take the crown prince to the secret room No. 1 at the bottom, and personally lead the masters in the mansion to watch. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order." Pei Ji walked over, grabbing Pei Xiner's slender arms.
He held it up with his hands and gave orders loudly.
A middle-aged man with a steady expression stepped forward and bowed: "Second Master, don't worry, the Crown Prince will never escape from Secret Room No. 1."
Pei Ji added: "Not only must the prince not be able to escape, but he must be kept intact."
Pei Zixiong said quickly: "Second Master, don't worry, Zixiong understands what to do."
After saying that, Pei Zixiong led a group of powerful masters and took Li Jiancheng down.
"Come here, pass the order and let all the direct descendants of the Pei family enter the underground secret room prepared in advance."
"Pei Zichao, you lead all the guards to block the door and start to guard it tightly. No one is allowed to enter the house. If anyone dares to force his way in, he will be killed without mercy."
Pei Ji issued two more orders one after another. These things had been planned before, and all preparations were made in advance. The orders were quickly implemented after they were issued.
Xiahou Duan and other Li Shentong's confidants became suspicious of the Pei family and secretly sent people to keep an eye on the Pei family.
A large number of people went to seize the city gate.
The Pei family's goal has always been Li Jiancheng, the melon peel, and the credit for capturing this melon peel alive in front of Wang Junlin is no less than breaking down a city gate.

Just when there was turmoil in Taiyuan City, and 6,000 people organized by Wang's group at the West City Gate seized the gate, the Far Eastern Army outside the city also moved according to the established plan, but their actions were very covert.
It has been the fifth day of the siege by the Far Eastern Army. From the beginning to the end, there has not been a single siege. Unknowingly, the soldiers defending the city were a little numb and tired, especially at this time, the turmoil in the city attracted their attention.
There was still no movement at the Far Eastern Army camp outside the city, so the soldiers of the Li Family Army guarding the city lost their vigilance outside the city.
Of course, this is also related to the various illusions caused by the Far Eastern Army these days.
In the past few days, the soldiers of the Li Family Army who were guarding the city had seen clearly that although some people in the Far East Army were building siege equipment, they did not seem to have built any large siege equipment. They only transported a lot of wood and built some ladders and some throwing tools.
Just a stone machine.
According to this progress, no matter what happens, we will have to wait at least four or five days before we can attack the city! Besides, according to common sense, the Far Eastern Army should choose daytime for the first time to attack the city!
The sky was overcast and covered with dense clouds. There was no starlight or moonlight. The night was pitch black. You couldn't see anything dozens of steps away. There was only endless darkness outside the city.
The soldiers guarding the southern city wall could not see or expect that there was a group of Far Eastern Army soldiers in the trench a hundred steps away. To be precise, they were twenty black-armored dead soldiers from Snake Island.
These twenty people kept pouring out of the tunnel, using the cover of the dark shadows under the city gate and the various noises coming from the city,
Slowly sneaked into the south city gate.
Each of these twenty black-armored dead men carried a hundred kilograms of gunpowder on their backs and walked silently towards the south gate.
The black-armored dead soldiers produced by Snake Island are all the most evil people in the world. Most of them are prisoners captured by various forces of the Far East Army or the government under the rule of the Far East Army. These people were captured by Nie Xiaoyu using strict, scientific and systematic methods.
A series of logical and thorough methods were used to train him to become a dead soldier.
Over the years, more than 2,500 such dead soldiers have been trained on Snake Island. Three years ago, a thousand of them were sent out by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu to lurk all over the world to build bases behind enemy lines.
Some of their dead soldiers are already dead, but some have successfully established base areas behind enemy lines in Guanzhong, Hedong, Sichuan, Jiangnan, Huainan, Huaibei and other places, but the scales vary.
These twenty black-armored dead soldiers walked very carefully, and their shoes were also specially made silent shoes, so they made almost no sound. And their black armor, which was all along the corners of the city wall, not to mention the Li Jiajun soldiers on the top of the city.
Stretch your head and look down. Even if you stretch your head and look down, you can't see anything.
Soon, twenty black-armored dead soldiers arrived in front of the south city gate and climbed evenly on the city gate.
Then, they took out a copper pipe from their arms and pulled off the cap. Inside were several pieces of red charcoal.
Using this fiery red stone, they ignited the fuses of one hundred kilograms of gunpowder in each of their arms.
The sound of twenty fuses being lit and burning at the same time was quite loud. The soldiers of the Li family army on the other side of the city gate seemed to hear something faintly, but this sound was very unfamiliar to them. For a while, they didn't know what the sound was. While they were vigilant,
, put his ear to the door and listened.
…
…
In the distance, many miles away, Wang Junlin personally led nearly 50,000 whirlwind battalion cavalry slowly moving towards Taiyuan City.
In the dark night, these tens of thousands of people were like people going on a pilgrimage. Without torches, they walked very slowly and lightly in the dark.
Wang Junlin rode a blood-maned horse at the front, leading a vast sea of people and horses through the fog. There were rustling and clanging sounds all around, mixed with the horse's heavy breath like sneezing from time to time.
As Wang Junlin and the blood-maned horse approached, the dark night ahead seemed to contain some kind of awe-inspiring unknown power, which was strange, terrifying and extremely powerful.
When nearly 50,000 whirlwind battalion cavalry were about 500 steps away from Taiyuan City, Wang Junlin stopped. If he went any further, he might be discovered by the defenders on top of Taiyuan City.
Luo Shixin led the generals above the captaincy of the Whirlwind Battalion and rode their horses slowly over and gathered in front of Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin did not speak, but stared at the south gate of Taiyuan City with a calm expression, and then waited quietly in the dark night.
After a while, Wang Junlin felt that time was almost up, so he said to Luo Shixin and other generals: "Wait for a while when the explosion sounds, and then act according to the previously discussed plan. After rushing into the city, because it was night and the cavalry could not move, the main thing was
We are going to engage in street fighting. We do not have as many troops as our opponent, and we are not as familiar with the terrain as our opponent. This is our disadvantage, but our combat power is strong, especially the battle formation is powerful, and the Li family army itself is afraid of our army. Wait for the explosion.
In addition, once the city gate is broken, they will be more afraid of us, and you must be good at taking advantage of this."
The generals quickly whispered that it was.
Wang Junlin then ordered: "In short, the only principle is to kill the enemy as much as possible and save yourself."
After a pause, Wang Junlin remembered something and said: "By the way, the Wang family and the Pei family will cooperate with us, and the people of the Hundred Swords Alliance should pay attention to using their people to stabilize the situation around them, kill and injure the enemy, and also
Don’t you accidentally kill these three families?”
"Here." Under the leadership of Luo Shixin, all the generals clasped their fists and bowed in response, then returned to their respective positions, ready to charge.
The ears of nearly 50,000 cavalry horses of the Far Eastern Army were stuffed with standard war horse earplugs manufactured by the Yancheng weapons and equipment production base in Fanyang County. At this time, each of the soldiers followed the precautions for large-scale use of gunpowder weapons and opened their mouths.
opened.
"No matter how thick and strong Li Yuan has made the city gate over the years, it can't be compared with the city wall. What's more, two thousand kilograms of explosives have been prepared. I won't blow the gate into pieces."
Suddenly, Wang Junlin saw twenty small fires appearing in the direction of the south city gate almost at the same time.
Wang Junlin's breathing suddenly stagnated, and the bodies of all the Far Eastern Army soldiers tensed up instantly. Even some of the highly intelligent war horses understood what the twenty flames represented and were ready to gallop forward.
The next moment, there was a sudden flash of fire at the south gate of Taiyuan City. Half of the sky and the earth lit up for an instant, and then a giant ball made of thick smoke rose into the sky and floated very high.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to shake, as if a very strong earthquake had suddenly occurred...
"Boom!" A shocking loud noise came at the same time as the earthquake.
Even though they were separated by a long distance, the nearly 50,000 Far Eastern troops and horses led by Wang Junlin felt that the world was shaking.
In their eyes, through the firelight of the explosion, they saw that the gates and towers of Taiyuan City had collapsed and turned into ruins.
This seems to be the wrath and punishment of the gods, turned into a huge force, causing the heavens and the earth to collapse, re-clarifying the order of this troubled country, ordering the world, and allowing the people to live a peaceful life.
Countless pieces of earth and stone flew in all directions in the rapidly spreading thick smoke, shooting toward Wang Junlin and the others. Even though they were far away, it gave Wang Junlin and other Far East Army officers and soldiers an illusion, as if they were being manipulated.
Thousands of troops and horses will be wiped out in this terrifying explosion barrage and turned into dark clouds.
Even though the Far Eastern Army had used a large number of gunpowder weapons, this was the first time that so much gunpowder had been used at one time, so nearly 50,000 Far Eastern Army soldiers were stunned at this time.
They naturally knew that it was the power of the gunpowder explosion, but they believed that this was because their prince used his divine power to use the power of the gods to let the gods in the sky punish the enemy.
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not be in a hurry to lead a charge immediately.
Because, what followed was the sound of "pah pah pah pah...", which was the sound of exploding stones and soil falling to the ground one after another, like the sound of a huge hailstorm.
After the sound of "hail" falling to the ground, a strange silence instantly returned between heaven and earth. However, this silence was very short-lived. It was so short that the officers and soldiers of the Li Army and hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City felt suffocated and they felt that they could not breathe.
