A random sound came from outside the hall, and Zhao Yun and the other five people turned to look at the door, and saw a soldier stumbling in.
It was already midnight. Seeing the soldiers in such panic, the five people immediately thought that there might be a sneak attack by enemy troops outside the village.
"Why are you so confused?"
Zhao Yun was the first to calm down and asked. The soldier stabilized his shaking figure, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and made a trembling sound.
"General, there are traitors in Muke Village. They have fled down the mountain through the back mountain trail. The leader of Muke Village led people to pursue them, but they were ambushed by the enemy."
"What!"
Zhao Yun stood up in response, his face as dark as water. The presence of traitors in Muke Village would be a fatal hazard to the Chu army. They knew everything about the village. If they colluded with the enemy in Guangming, the barrier of Muke Village would be in vain.
"Yun Chang, Han Sheng, Meng Qi, I will leave the defense of the village to you three. Yide will go with me to rescue the leader of the village, and finally we can take the opportunity to kill the rebels."
A quick voice sounded. Zhao Yun picked up the silver gentian gun and strode out of the hall. Zhang Fei didn't hesitate at all, picked up his weapon and rushed out cursing.
"His grandma, there is a traitor at this time. Instead of adding fuel to the fire, if I find his traces, I will have to kill this guy three times."
Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong watched the two disappear into the darkness of the night. Instead of hearing the sound of horse hooves, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led a thousand Xiliang cavalry towards the ancient road down the mountain.
Under night.
Mu Guiying led hundreds of village militiamen and was fighting against the enemies of the Bright Empire. Under the light of the torch, she wore a purple gold crown and a silver war robe. She held a bright goose feather sword in her hand and hung it on her waist.
Hang an arrow pot.
Heroic and heroic, decisive in killing.
Every time the blade passes by, an enemy soldier will die in front of the horse, and blood will drip down the blade.
Mu Guiying was the leader of Muke Village. At this time, his subordinate Xu Meng's secret communication with the enemy was exposed and he wanted to flee to the enemy camp. The most important thing was that Xu Meng stole the treasures of Muke Village.
How could Mu Guiying let such a thief escape?
He raised his sword and slashed furiously. There was no enemy in front of the horse. He took off the huge bow from behind, unstringed the arrow, and pointed it directly at the back of Xu Meng, who was escaping on horseback.
Phew~
A cloud-piercing arrow flew out, piercing the night sky and hitting Xu Meng directly.
At this time, enemy reinforcements from the ancient road at the foot of the mountain appeared again, coming in force and shouting: "Capture the leader of Muke Village alive, capture Mu Guiying alive!"
"Capture Mu Guiying alive!"
............
Mu Guiying didn't know whether the arrow hit Xu Meng, so she slapped her legs on the horse and charged forward wildly. The number of enemy troops continued to increase, and there were not many left of the hundreds of militiamen she led.
"Fortress leader, withdraw!"
"The enemy forces are increasing rapidly. If we continue to fight, we will not be able to retreat unscathed!"
The militiamen around Mu Guiying shouted loudly, waving their weapons and fighting with the enemy. Looking at Xu Meng walking away, her face became more murderous.
"Withdraw~"
"Get out now!"
Mu Guiying decided to retreat but found that all the soldiers who came with her had been wiped out. Now she was the only one left. The enemy troops on the left and right ancient roads began to attack her.
Facing thousands of enemy troops approaching, Mu Guiying showed no fear and swung his sword to kill. His beautiful figure spun on horseback, cleverly avoiding the enemy's assassination.
How could I.
With only one person and one horse, she was unable to stop the enemy troops who were advancing one after another. She killed hundreds of people one after another, but she was already stretched thin, and her arms were slashed by the enemy's cold spears one after another.
Bang~
The enemy general swung his sword and hit Mu Guiying on the back. She fell from the horse and was pierced by hundreds of spears. She endured the bone-gnawing pain in her back and rolled away, escaping the fatal blow.
one strike.
"Master Mu, don't panic, Zilong is here to help you!"
"Zhang Yide from Yan is here, come and kill!"
Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and two loud shouts came one after another. The enemy general suddenly raised his head and looked at the sound, only to see a silver spear piercing him.
As fast as thunder, as swift as a flying arrow.
General Xiao...
Before the soldiers on the enemy general's side had finished speaking, Zhao Yun's silver spear had already passed through the enemy's neck, and then the spear came out like a dragon and swept past.
When a bit of cold light arrives, pillars of blood splash up.
"Master Mu, get on your horse, Zilong will help you break out of the siege!"
Zhao Yun held a gun in one hand and pulled Mu Guiying on the horseback with the other hand. On one side, Zhang Fei was in the middle of a fight. He glanced sideways and said:
"Zilong, you take the leader of the village up the mountain first, and I will lead the troops to kill for a while. It's so damn comfortable!"
"Yide cannot be reluctant to fight, hurry up the mountain!"
Zhao Yun let his horse run wildly, with no enemy in front of him. He took Mu Guiying and rushed up to Muke Village. The majestic sound echoed in the night sky.
"Damn~~"
"Escape, go up the mountain!"
Zhang Fei showed no fear, snorted coldly, ordered the Xiliang cavalry to return to Muke Village, and looked up at Zhao Yun and Mu Guiying who were retreating in front of them.
"A hero saves a beauty, but Zilong robs her again. What am I worse than you?"
"Stop chasing. What the prince wants has been obtained. Muke Village is no longer valuable. Please retreat to the military camp immediately."
............
About an hour later, inside and outside a camp of the Guangming Empire under Muke Village, a military doctor raised his fist and saluted the man standing with his hands behind his back:
"Your Majesty, his arrow is not fatal. He is awake now and can ask questions at any time."
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go down and rest!"
The man was none other than the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies of the Bright Empire, the Nine Princes known to everyone. He had a face with Chinese characters, a mighty demeanor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving him the awe-inspiring appearance of a king.
The Ninth Prince opened the curtain of the tent and entered. When Xu Meng saw him coming in, he stood up with his hands on his shoulders and stepped forward to salute:
"My subordinate, Xu Meng, pays homage to the Ninth Prince."
"General Xu is injured, so there is no need to be polite!"
The Ninth Prince motioned for Xu Meng to sit down and asked: "You risked your life to go down the mountain, but you have completed your mission?"
"My subordinates have fulfilled their mission!"
Xu Meng spoke, raised his hand and took out a square box from his arms and placed it in front of the Ninth Prince. He stared at the square box. The Ninth Prince looked excited and his palms were trembling as he stroked it.
"In this square box is the treasure of Muke Village - Dragon Subduing Wood?"
"Back to your lord, it's the Dragon Subduing Wood!"
The Ninth Prince was extremely excited. The Dragon Subduing Wood that he had been dreaming about finally fell into his hands. He suppressed the saliva in his eyes, nodded gently, and spoke in approval.
"Xu Meng, you have worked hard in hiding in Muke Village for so many years. After this battle, you will return to the empire with me. From now on, you will be the lord of Hanguang City."
Hear the sound.
Xu Meng suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his fist to express gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your cultivation. From now on, my subordinates will continue to be loyal to Your Majesty. I will have no complaints or regrets before and after riding."
"very good!"
"Back then, Mu Yu would rather die than speak out for the Dragon Subduing Wood. In less than ten years, he is already a pile of bones, but the Dragon Subduing Tree has fallen into the hands of this king."
"The prince had great foresight and asked his subordinates to hide in Muke Village. Mu Yu is deceased, and his daughter Mu Guiying does not have the resourcefulness of his father."
Xu Meng was a little proud. After all, he stole the Dragon Subduing Wood, but he never knew why the Ninth Prince wanted the Dragon Subduing Wood.
"Your Majesty, this Dragon Subduing Wood is just an ordinary piece of wood. Why does Your Majesty need to go to such trouble?"
"Ordinary wood?"
"Xu Meng, the value of Dragon Subduing Wood is by no means as simple as wood. Otherwise, why would Muke Village spare no effort to protect it."
"If I say that the Dragon Subduing Wood can really subdue a dragon, do you believe it or not?"
The Ninth Prince crossed the Tianhe River and came to Taichu City ten years ago. At that time, it was controlled by the Taixu regime. He came here just for traveling, but unexpectedly learned that there was a Dragon Subduing Wood hidden in Muke Village.
The world doesn't know the value of the Dragon-Subduing Wood, but he knows it clearly. Wherever the Dragon-Subduing Wood appears, there must be traces of the divine dragon, either the underground dragon veins or the remains of the divine dragon.
Back then, he wanted to pay a lot of money in exchange for the Dragon-Subduing Wood in Mu Yu's hands, but was rejected by Mu Yu. In desperation, he wanted to kill someone to seize the treasure, but the person died, but the treasure was not obtained.
In the end, he was eager to return to the Empire of Light, so he gave Xu Meng the task of stealing the Dragon Subduing Wood. Ten years later, God's favor finally allowed him to obtain the Dragon Subduing Wood.
This is also the reason why he came to the Eastern Continent in person. With the Dragon Subduing Wood and the power of the true dragon bloodline, he will have the strength to compete with the Holy Emperor of Light.
"General Xu, take a good rest. Tomorrow the army will attack Muke Village and we will need your leadership!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will do their best!"
The Ninth Prince put the Dragon Subduing Wood into the spiritual ring, stood up and walked out of the tent. Xu Meng looked at his leaving figure in shock.
"Dragon Subduing Wood, can it really subdue a dragon?"
Dawn broke in the east, the mist was hazy, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled under Muke's village. Zhao Yun and the five men stood on the front building of the village, looking up. At this time, Mu Guiying, wearing a battle robe and holding a sword, came forward and appeared on the fifth floor.
beside them.
"The enemy of Guangming is preparing to attack. Today will be a fierce battle. Gui Yingte is here to help the generals."
"Well, how come Master Mu took the initiative to help us kill the enemy? Is it because the hero Zilong saved the beauty last night?"
Zhang Fei spoke freely and made jokes. Zhao Yun and Mu Guiying looked at him at the same time. Feeling their sharp gazes, Yide smiled awkwardly.
"Xu Meng stole the treasure in the stronghold. This battle is no longer the business of the Chu army. All the people in Muke Village are determined to kill Xu Meng, so Guiying bravely came with his troops to help and advance and retreat together with the generals."
"This is the best. Xu Meng knows every passage up the mountain. He is a poisonous snake and will bite us hard at any time. I also hope that Master Mu will be vigilant about every road up the mountain and never take it lightly."
"General, don't worry. Xu Meng is no better than me in knowing the environment of the village. He wants to lead the enemy troops up the mountain and is daydreaming."
"Generals, don't worry. The leader of the village has ordered all traps to be changed. If Xu Meng wants to attack the village, what awaits him will be a nightmare."
The female general next to Mu Guiying spoke, and Zhao Yun and the other five men nodded one after another, watching the movements of the enemy troops outside the stronghold, ready to leave the stronghold to kill the enemy at any time.
In the army camp of the Bright Empire, the Ninth Prince was dressed in military uniform and in high spirits. He was really in high spirits on happy occasions. He tightened the reins in his hands and his eyes passed over the three armies that had been assembled.
"Anyone who obeys the orders of the three armies and attacks Muke's stronghold will be greatly rewarded by my king!"
