On an early spring night, the cold wind howled low in the Guiqing Mountains, and it was almost pitch black all around. With the dim starlight, we could only see three or five steps away.
There is an extremely secret valley deep in the mountains of Guiqing. There is a lake of more than 300 acres in the valley. At this time, there are black shadows in the reeds beside the lake. From time to time, there are sounds of people rubbing their hands and breathing.
The nights in the deep mountains of Yongzhou are only slightly warmer than in winter.
Maybe it was because there had never been an attack from a foreign enemy in countless years, or maybe they were very confident in their own strength. The vigilance shown by Dragon Palace was far lower than Wang Junlin expected.
When more than 3,000 elite soldiers brought by Shen Guang and Chen Xuanpeng dispersed outside Guiqing Mountain, no one in the Dragon Palace noticed it. In fact, the Dragon Palace has never had the habit of sending out sentries or spies, because they used to have the Li family of Longxi under them.
How could the county hide anything from the Li family in Longxi? This habit greatly facilitated Wang Junlin's actions.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Wang Junlin ordered more than 3,000 elite soldiers to carry 500 barrels of fire oil into the valley. In order not to disturb the Dragon Palace, he left most of the horses ten miles away, leaving 100 people to guard them, and the rest walked all the way.
Came here.
"Senior, are you sure that the Dragon Palace is in the middle of the lake?" Wang Junlin asked in a low voice. On his left was Nie Xiaoyu, who looked cold, and on his right were Chen Danying, Li Zongfeng, and Su Mei'er who had been following Shen Guang these days.
Li Zongfeng snorted coldly: "Nonsense, I have been here for decades, how could I remember the wrong place? If you don't believe me, ask Dan Ying!"
Chen Danying next to him smiled and said: "Wang Lang, look, the black shadow in the lake is the Dragon Palace, and the two red dots are the two big red lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the Dragon Palace."
Wang Junlin looked at it intently, and sure enough, he could vaguely see two tiny red dots shaking. He smiled and said to Li Zongfeng, "Senior, please forgive me. I'm just asking out of habit."
Li Zongfeng glared at Wang Junlin and was too lazy to say anything else. In fact, she was not as calm as she appeared on the matter.
A spy affiliated with Ghost Eye hurried over, bowed his head and whispered: "The Lord Qi, Commander Shen, Gang Leader Chen, and Mr. Xu have sent people to report that they have brought people to the designated area. Please give me your instructions."
.”
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "According to the original plan, spread out the manpower and the fierce fire oil two feet apart along the lake to ensure that there are no gaps around the lake. After the hands are spread out, let them pour the fierce fire oil into the water.
Then prepare the sheepskin raft, and follow my orders at any time for subsequent actions."
"As commanded."
The most critical moment was coming, Wang Junlin thought silently, if they were discovered by the Dragon Palace on the way before their arrival and the people inside fled for their lives in a hurry, not only would the 3,000-strong army not be able to stop many people, but they would also suffer heavy casualties.
"There are no bridges. It seems that people on the island enter by boat." Wang Junlin became more and more confident about this operation.
Wang Junlin turned to the side and gave instructions, and hundreds of ghost-eyed masters behind him pushed the sheepskin rafts prepared in advance into the lake. Wang Junlin, Li Zongfeng, Chen Danying, and Nie Xiaoyu chose one of them to jump on, and Wang Junlin picked up a
The oars and sheepskin rafts were launched towards the island, and other ghost-eyed masters also boarded the sheepskin rafts and rowed towards the island. The same scene was also happening in other directions at the same time, with hundreds of sheepskin rafts carrying two thousand elite soldiers.
.Ship to the island, where a thousand people will be left as the second line.
The distance of two to three hundred feet was very short, and in the blink of an eye the two lanterns were as big as grains of rice. Wang Junlin raised his hands high, and everyone's speed gradually slowed down. Although the sound of the oars was still there,
It was almost inaudible above the whistling of the cold wind and the rustling of the reeds.
Li Zongfeng looked at it intently, then led everyone to change direction, rowing for a while to avoid the main entrance of the Dragon Palace, and quietly landed ashore.
"There are seven places where people are hiding." Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu took advantage of the cover of the reeds around the island to carefully circle around the island. Nie Xiaoyu's eyes flashed several times and he discovered the location of the island.
There are about six or seven hidden piles around.
Wang Junlin knew that hidden stakes like this usually had special ways of communicating with the Dragon Palace, not to mention when they changed guard. He must not take action at will without knowing the details. If someone in the Dragon Palace discovered it,
But something bad happened.
Wang Junlin did some calculations. According to what Li Zongfeng and Chen Danying said, the Dragon Palace was not very big. The courtyard wall was still forty or fifty feet away from the lake. And in tonight's night, with his own eyesight, he could only see at most
At seven or eight feet, we were able to spot the hidden whistle from a distance just now. It was purely because of Nie Xiaoyu’s eyes with unknown functions. Therefore, these hidden posts could not see them at all now. Moreover, with the sound of wind and the sound of swaying reeds, as long as the army approached,
If they charge thirty feet away from the shore, the people in the Dragon Palace will not have time to escape even if they receive the message from the hidden stake. What's more, for the sake of safety, they are surrounded and killed by two layers of people on the lake and outside the lake.
Not long after, news came from all directions that two thousand elite troops had arrived on the island. Li Zongfeng looked at the vague outline of the Dragon Palace in the darkness, and felt a little emotional in his heart. The Dragon Palace, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was doomed. He usually didn't pay attention, but now it seemed
The Dragon Palace was unexpectedly defenseless. The palace master of the Dragon Palace was even more powerful than her, Li Zongfeng. After experiencing the previous generation of Spring and Autumn envoys, even the current Spring and Autumn envoys treated him with courtesy. The Dragon Palace has always been in Longxi County because of the relationship between the Li family in Longxi.
They were all overlooking all sentient beings from a high place, but they didn't expect that they would face the disaster of destruction.
There was no defense against the Dragon Palace, and their actions tonight were so smooth that Wang Junlin was a little suspicious at this time and whispered: "Senior, there has been no movement in the Dragon Palace so far. Isn't this a little abnormal?"
Li Zongfeng sneered and said: "You think they are too smart. There are indeed many masters in the Dragon Palace in terms of martial arts. The worst ones are in the foundation stage. In the Great Sui Army, they can already serve as captains, not to mention there are a lot of others.
There are masters in the stagnation period and several masters who have broken the merit period. But these people have been supported by me, the Li family of Longxi, for so many years. They have not been involved in worldly affairs at all. In addition to being on guard against other Immortal Yin Sects, they are not concerned about the court and the secular world.
The power has never been more vigilant and guarded."
Wang Junlin thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed true, and he felt completely relieved.
At this time, the war was about to begin, and Wang Junlin no longer thought wildly. Although he could not see anything in the distance, he knew that Chen Xuanpeng and Shen Guang had led two thousand elite troops to the island and surrounded the Dragon Palace from all sides.
