The Southern Army was an army guarding the southern border of the empire under the command of a general, while the Northern Army was an army guarding the northern border of the empire, also led by a general, and both armies numbered about 50,000 and were the barrier to the stability of the empire. The Praetorian Guard is responsible for maintaining law and order in the imperial capital, although the number is only 10,000, but each of them is the elite of the elite, the commander of the Praetorian Guard is theoretically on the same level as the two generals in the north and south, in fact, the status is slightly higher, after all, he is by the side of His Majesty, the most trusted person by His Majesty, is the cronies of the cronies, and is not allowed to have personal relations with any princes and ministers on a daily basis. On top of these three major legions, the imperial border army under the command of the Great General Wang, its size is between 200,000 and 500,000, and the number is even more than the sum of the number of the three major legions, which is commanded and dispatched by the Imperial General Wang, responsible for guarding all the borders of the Empire, according to the laws of the Empire, the status of the Great General Wang is above the general, but there is no direct subordinate relationship, and the Great General King must be allowed by the emperor before returning to the dynasty, and he can carry no more than 100 escorts.

The army that was dispatched to Jinling was the army in the south of the empire, just a thousand-man army, but it could still be seen that it was well-trained and well-equipped, and the pace was uniform when the formation of the phalanx moved, and when the crossbow behind them was taken off and aimed at the target, the team members were automatically divided into two rows, the front row squatted, and the back row took a step back and raised the repeater in his hand, aiming at the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and the hands holding the repeater did not move at all.

Tuoba Lie sat on the back of a horse with a white mane, and his armor was neatly dressed, showing the temperament of a major general. The weapon in his hand was a little special, the ordinary spear was equipped with a crescent-shaped blade near the tip of the spear, about seven feet long, painted all over, and the sharp edge was surrounded by a turbid and bloody breath, which had been soaked in blood for a long time at a glance. If Shao Baiyu was present, he must have seen that this weapon was called the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and it was a weapon that only high-ranking officers could use.

Shen Fei sat on Moyu's back, side by side with Tuoba Lie, for tonight's battle he specially built a brand new saddle for Moyu, sitting on it in a green suit, like a military advisor next to the general, holding the reins with both hands, almost no means of protection. Moyu has a black mane and shiny, in stark contrast to the white horse next to him, and his figure is also taller than the white horse, he is full of confidence when he exhales, and he can step on the masonry ground restlessly, this is the first time that Shen Fei has sat on its back after Moyu opened his spiritual wisdom, and he feels that his momentum has increased a lot compared to before, and his personality is relatively stable, and he is no longer as irritable as in the past.

Parallel to the white horse, one position higher than the other party, which attracted Tuoba Lie's exclamation, and asked again and again about the origin of Moyu, Shen Fei just responded to him perfunctorily, "Moyu is just a wild horse, a wild horse." ”

"Wow!" The soldiers defending the city suddenly changed their formation, and the soldiers in the back row stepped forward with their shields, waiting for the battle, and surrounded Linghu Hanging Boat and walked up to the wall. The private guards of Linghu Mansion were even better equipped than the Imperial Thousand Army, and the guards wore heavy steel armor, as thick as a little thumb, wearing steel helmets, holding shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands, and the tips of spears stretched forward from the gaps between the shields, forming a cold forest of guns. Their movements are also very regular, and they must have practiced a lot in their daily lives. From this, it can be seen that Linghu Hangzhou's old scheming, raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, as the king of the underworld, Linghu Hangzhou has never relaxed his own protection, diligent in drilling, and did not hesitate to purchase equipment, which finally came in handy today.

Guarding the city was the private guards of Linghu Mansion, some of the top shields surrounded Linghu hanging boat to the head of the city, and some of them bent their bows and arrows aimed at the imperial thousand-man army under the city wall, and the tips of the arrows were all burning with fireballs, which looked particularly dazzling under the night sky.

"Brother Shen, is Brother Shen here?" Ling Hu Xuanzhou called out with confidence, the more the battle is, the more he must show calmness and calmness, only in this way can he stabilize the morale of the army and avoid internal chaos.

Shen Fei had expected him to be like this, so he had already prepared, rode his horse and took a step forward, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Linghu, Brother Xian is here." ”

"Brother Shen, what's going on, didn't you bring the words I asked you to bring to Prince Lie. Linghu Xuanzhou and Shen Fei shouted in the air, but the voice could clearly reach the ears of everyone present, and it did not seem ethereal at all, which showed that they both had extraordinary skills.

"Brother Linghu, I have already conveyed to His Royal Highness the Prince what you asked me to bring, but the situation has changed, and the fall of the Third Prince has made His Majesty grief-stricken today, and he is determined to investigate it thoroughly, haven't you seen it, just three days ago, he specially transferred an army of 1,000 people from the empire to over, and ordered His Royal Highness the Prince to thoroughly investigate this matter, and His Royal Highness the Prince had no choice but to come to the palace to invite you. Brother Linghu, His Royal Highness the Prince just wants to know from you about the case, we don't need to be so tense, it's not good for everyone to hurt the harmony. ”

"Knowing the facts of the case, why do you need to block my Linghu Mansion, Brother Shen, you must be lying to me. ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Linghu, His Majesty the Emperor will bring all the relevant people to the imperial capital to be judged by His Majesty and his old man personally, you and Qianqian are both the targets of summons, and we have no choice. ”

"Bring back the imperial capital for trial? What is the trial? There are so many industries under the name of Zhou, and the Faceless Killer Group has replaced Qianqian to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince, how can I know, I am the biggest victim! Brother Shen, please persuade the prince of Lie on the past feelings, and persuade him to distinguish between right and wrong and return justice to Zhou. ”

When the words fell, Tuoba Lie rode forward half a step forward, as if he was about to raise the weapon in his hand, but was stopped by Shen Fei, and continued to negotiate with Linghu Xuanzhou: "Brother Linghu, I have tried my best to persuade His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Majesty's order cannot be disobeyed, and His Royal Highness has no choice, you have also seen it, even the imperial army has been withdrawn, His Majesty's attention is self-evident, and Prince Lie cannot go against His Majesty's will no matter what." That's okay, Brother Linghu, if you believe me, go with Shen, Shen guarantees that you will be comfortable along the way, go to the imperial capital and chat with His Majesty the Emperor, and talk about the matter and it will be over. ”

Linghu Xuanzhou noticed Tuoba Lie's subtle movements, and realized that it was very likely that he had offended the other party unreasonably before, and now that he was retaliated, it was too late to regret it, but how did he know that this seemingly inconspicuous detail was actually arranged by Shen Fei and Tuoba Lie early in the morning, they wanted one to sing red face and the other white face to do this tricky thing, "Brother Shen, it's not that Zhou doesn't believe you, it's just that everyone is dead, and Zhou can't tell clearly even if his whole body is full of mouth." You can still protect me when you are on the road, but after entering the imperial capital, you will definitely be imprisoned, and you will definitely be slaughtered by others at that time, and it will be difficult to escape. ”

"Brother Linghu, the matter has come to this, how can it be possible to retreat without taking responsibility, don't forget, the Faceless Killer Group is from the industry under your name, and there should always be necessary inquiries from Your Majesty's side, what do you say. ”

"Inquiry? Now that the Faceless Killer Group is all gone, I think you're trying to make me a scapegoat. ”

"Brother Linghu, don't get me wrong, Prince Lie enforces the law impartially and will never do that kind of irresponsible thing. ”

"Brother Shen, let me ask you, does it have to get to such a point, there is no room for relaxation at all?"

"Brother Linghu, the prince of Lie is a messenger from the imperial capital, and he directly accepts the dispatch of the imperial capital, and he can't help himself. Brother, come down now, Shen will use his life to ensure that you will eat and drink well and be safe and sound along the way; if you have to get a soldier to meet, it will definitely not be as simple as an ordinary investigation, and when the time comes, the prince of Lie will not be able to protect you. ”

"Hey, in that case, just hide from me for some time, Rong Zhou think about it. Surrounded by the guards, Linghu Hangzhou walked down the tower, his steps were heavy, his expression was serious, and his mood fell to the bottom. There is a saying in the Kyushu people's country, the government officials knock on the door, like a dog squatting in front of you and asking you for food, just give some money; once the imperial army is dispatched, it will never be a problem that some money can solve, and where the iron hooves are trodden, there will inevitably be rivers of blood and bones, and any senseless resistance will be regarded as a hostile act, and thus will be brutally cleansed.

Since Tuoba Gui, who was born in the army, ascended the throne, the empire has used troops for many years, almost all the places where there is no gate faction to guard, the Rakshasa Holy City collapsed, the six departments outside the fortress were suppressed and could only flee to the desert, the secret realm where the major demon clans hid was looted, and the demon clan became prisoners and lived a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs, all of which were the masterpieces of the imperial army.

In the process of external expansion, the army is getting stronger and stronger, and it is rumored that the Imperial Thousand Men Regiment can fight hard with ordinary immortals, although there is no solid evidence and reliability, but its combat effectiveness can be seen from this, in this case, if you are determined to resist to the end, you need to make preparations for the destruction of the jade.

Walking down the city wall, Linghu Hanging Boat was in a heavy mood, his steps were staggering, his white hair was thick, and he spread from his temples to the top of his head as if he was ten years old.

Sister Tiger was already waiting for him under the city wall, wrapped tightly in a close-fitting soft armor around her body, and she was also in a posture of being ready for battle.

"What's the matter, Brother Zhou, is the situation not good?"

Linghu Xuanzhou patted her on the shoulder to appease, and then beckoned into the darkness, and a man in black came out of the shadow, and ordered: "Go, go to Murong Baishi, and say that I will order Huzhou to ask him for help." "The man in black was given the order to disappear into the shadows from the beginning.

Linghu Xuanzhou pulled Sister Hu to the side, and whispered: "Listening to Shen Fei's meaning, it seems that the emperor intends to arrest me, so Linghu Mansion is only afraid that it will be dangerous." Now there are only two ways to go, either stubbornly resist to the end, fight to the end of the jade, there is a passage behind the house to connect the suburbs, you and I resist to the end, I can't beat can leave from the secret passage, but the long-term business of the family business must not be saved; ”

"Zhou, no, that Tuoba Lie has a villain face, and I am afraid that you will be tortured if you fall into his hands. ”

"Tuoba Lie's most trusted thing now is Shen Fei, with Shen Fei's protection, he should be safe and sound on the road; ”

Since Tuoba Lie trusts Shen Fei the most, do you say that all this was deliberately arranged by Shen Fei, does he want to yin you? ”

"It's not impossible, but it's not likely, the deployment of the imperial army requires a direct order from the emperor, Tuoba Lie must have received an order to come here to arrest me, the death of the third prince can't be easily solved through the corpses of a group of dead people. As soon as the words changed, Linghu Xuanzhou hugged Sister Tiger into his arms: "Good baby, I have sent someone to Murong Mansion to ask him what he means, whether all this is the emperor's order or Tuoba Lie's personal behavior, or Shen Fei's framing will soon be clear, Hu'er, you have to be prepared for the worst." ”

"Hanging boat, I will advance and retreat with you. "Sister Tiger cried with rain in pear blossoms.

"It's not yet the point where the jade is burned, Hu'er, you remember, when I leave, Linghu Mansion is up to you, and you have to take care of it. Linghu Hangzhou hugged her tightly in his arms.

"You can't go on a hanging boat, people won't let you go. ”

"What should come will always come, don't forget the forces behind me, if you are determined to resist to the end, let alone an army of 1,000 people, that is, the 10,000-person army will not be able to attack the Linghu Mansion for three days and three nights, but I don't want to do that, I can't do it until the last resort, because in that case, my hard work in Jinling will be in vain." ”

"Hanging Boat ......"

"In short, if I am no more, there are only two things you have to do, the first is to find the relationship between all parties to dredge up the connections of the imperial capital, fish me out, don't be afraid of spending money, and the second is to take care of all the industries under my name!"

Sister Tiger threw herself into the arms of Linghu Hangzhou, crying, very sad, but the inadvertent eyes revealed her true thoughts: "Shen Fei, Shen Fei, it is really right to form an alliance with you, now take Linghu Hangzhou to the imperial capital, and the industries under his name will fall into my hands, I can take the opportunity to shuffle the cards and arrange my own people in important departments, even if he comes back from Hanzhou, the people in the industry are not his, the so-called Linghu Mansion will soon be controlled by my Sister Hu, and I will change my name and surname."

Hahaha, just after forming an alliance, I gave someone a big gift, and they must repay it well, and make a promise to each other!" Sister Tiger was happy in her heart, and she was still crying on the surface, completely blinding Linghu Hangzhou's heart. In the face of Linghu Xuanzhou's infatuation, it is not too much to say that she is a femme fatale.
