Chapter 186: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High Murder Night

This Ji Wen is indeed from a family of eunuchs, a scholarly family, and his father Ji Mo is a bachelor from Hanlin, with a very high literary talent, and is responsible for compiling historical books, and it is normal to be able to teach such a daughter.

That doesn't make her suspicious, though.

Every action, as a clerk, she must be responsible for recording it, which is the rule, so she must also know some confidential things in advance.

So she is suspicious, and extremely suspicious.

Feng Chong of the Dark Hall Palm Print has some means, this time in order to keep it secret, he will not tell the details of the action in advance, the current twenty Cave Candle Guards, the Commander Lu Jiang, the captain Chu Xian, and a hussar captain, together with the Dark Hall Palm Seal Feng Chong, left the Cave Candle Division together.

......

Most people like to wait for dawn, and some people can only wait for dark.

Chu Xian is now waiting for dark.

In the mountains and forests, Chu Xian sat on the ground, but his eyes were looking at a cottage in the distance.

Building a cottage in an inaccessible place is either a thief or a thief, but what the hell, Feng Chong didn't say anything, it was still for secrecy.

The plan of action was formulated by Feng Chong, so he could only listen to him.

In the late autumn season, the mountains and old forests, after the sun sets, they suddenly cool down, and you can see that the torches have been lit one after another in the opposite cottage.

Twenty cave candle guards were lying in ambush around, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find their traces at all, and this kind of quality was not comparable to ordinary elite soldiers at all.

The Cave Candle Guard, that's the best of the best.

Naturally, Lu Jiangna, the commander in charge of training them, must not be ordinary.

Chu Xian was surprised that Lu Jiang would take the initiative to talk to him, and not only talk, but also invite himself to drink.

"The mountains and forests are cold, come, take a sip and warm up. Lu Jiang came over at this time and threw a cowhide water bladder to Chu Xian, Chu Xian unscrewed it and smelled it, it was spirits.

Lu Jiang is a good drinker, Chu Xian knows about this, but he didn't expect that the other party would dare to drink alcohol while performing a mission, but looking at the reactions of other people, it seems that he is already accustomed to it, and it is not strange.

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, they all know that even Feng Chong won't sue me for this, because although I drink, I never do anything bad. ”

Chu Xian was still a little hesitant, and Lu Jiang was immediately displeased: "Seeing that you are young, you should be strong in blood, how can you be as virtuous as that Wu Siping?" I was afraid of wolves and tigers, so I didn't drink and gave it back to me." ”

Wu Siping is the Iron Shield Captain who came with him this time, he is already in his forties, quite steady, but he is too rigid.

When Chu Xian heard this, his heart moved, he raised his head and poured it, grunting, the liquor entered his throat, choked his nose, and his eyes were spicy, but soon, it was a hot current that filled his stomach, and his limbs were full of bones, and he was immediately extremely transparent.

"Happy!"

Lu Jiang also took a big sip by himself: "That's right, Chu Xian, I know you, the case in Fengcheng was handled beautifully." ”

Chu Xian smiled: "Captain Xie Lu praised him." ”

The other party knows his own details, there is nothing strange about it, you must know that the other party is the commander of the Cave Candle Division, although in terms of intelligence, it is not as good as Feng Chong, the palm seal officer of the Dark Hall, but it is still very easy to find out this trivial matter.

Lu Jiang also smiled: "Since you have come to the Cave Candle Division, you will be a brother from now on, and if you encounter anything in the future, you can come to me." ”

patted Chu Xian on the shoulder, Lu Jiang went to find a few other internal guards to drink, it can be seen that Lu Jiang has an excellent relationship with the people under him, these internal guards, to themselves and Feng Chong, express respect, and to Lu Jiang, not only respect, but also closeness.

"As a soldier commander, he has no official authority, what kind of system does he become!" Wu Siping, the captain of the Iron Shield over there, obviously dislikes Lu Jiang, although Lu Jiang's official position is higher than him, but Wu Siping is also an eight-rank and is not under the jurisdiction of the other party, so he has the courage to say this.

It's just that this Wu Siping didn't dare to say it in person, he only dared to talk about people behind his back, and Chu Xian didn't pay attention to the other party.

That Wu Siping didn't intend to keep his mouth shut, but still whispered: "We are school captains, although our grade is not as high as his, but we are not under his jurisdiction, so I can't get used to his appearance." ”

I can't get used to what it looks like, Chu Xian doesn't know, but obviously, the Dong Candle Division is not a harmonious mess, and it is also divided into factions, and there will be mutual power struggles.

The lieutenant was not used to looking at the commander of the soldiers, and the commander of the soldiers seemed to be at odds with the officer of the palm seal of the dark hall, Chu Xian looked at Feng Chong, who had not spoken since the beginning, like a statue.

This is definitely a ruthless character, except for leading the way, there are no more than two sentences to say all day.

waited until the second half of the night for Feng Chong, who looked like a statue, to speak: "Prepare." ”

At this moment, everyone got up and moved in unison, and the quality of the Cave Candle Division was fully revealed at this moment, including the Cave Candle Guard, as if they were ghosts in the night, you couldn't even feel their presence when they were silent, but as long as they acted, it must be the momentum of wind and thunder.

"Captain Lu, you take ten people to sneak into the cottage in a while, lurk first, wait for the sound of the gate of the village, and then act, the scorpion tail sword is in the cottage, search it out, and retreat immediately. Feng Chong explained them one by one.

Lu Jiang didn't ask much, and immediately sneaked into the night with ten cave candle guards.

Feng Chong glanced at Chu Xian and Wu Siping.

"Captain Chu, listen to my orders, use the fixed weathering dragon mace, and break through the gate of the cottage. Feng Chong explained Chu Xian's duties, and then said to Wu Siping: "The other cave candle guards, form a defensive formation, Captain Wu, do your best to block the enemy in the village, and don't let them get close to here." ”

Obviously, Feng Chong is a chess player this time, step by step, according to his plan, and the others only need to do their own duties.

Chu Xian had a guess at this time.

Obviously, the Scorpion Tail Sword is in this cottage, and this time, it is to recapture the Scorpion Tail Sword, but shouldn't the Scorpion Tail Sword be in the hands of the Heavenly Buddha Gate? Based on Chu Xian's observation just now, this cottage is not the temple of the Heavenly Buddha Gate.

It is clear that Chu Xian doesn't know, maybe he knows, only Feng Chong is the only one who knows.

Since each has its own duties, he will first do the things he is responsible for before he can talk about anything else.

Set the weathering dragon mace, Chu Xian has been familiar with a lot in the past few days, and he also knows how to urge the dragon to strike, at least he needs to cultivate to reach the out-of-body realm, but at a distance of 100 zhang, he can use an iron mace to turn the dragon into a dragon, and a blow to the dragon is enough to break through the gate of the big city, like the gate of this cottage, it is even easier.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, Feng Chong gave an order to Chu Xian.

Chu Xian, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately urged the Dingfeng Dragon Gong, and the next moment, a dragon groan sounded, and a dragon body composed of streamers circled and quickly rushed towards the cottage.

The rocks along the road were touched by the dragon body, and they were also directly broken, in the blink of an eye, the dragon arrived at the walled gate, and then crashed into the heavy walled gate, a loud noise came, including the walled gate, the surrounding wall within the range of five or six zhang was also directly shattered, and the air waves set off were more than ten zhang high, and the giant wood, the gravel fell like rain, crackling.

"Awesome!"

Chu Xian himself was also taken aback, this weathering dragon is really powerful, known as the most suitable magic weapon for attacking the city, just this moment, I am afraid that even the huge city gate of Zhenxi City can be blasted open with one blow.

In the Cave Candle Division, there is actually such a terrifying killing weapon.

At this moment, Chu Xian suddenly became alert, and at that moment, his hair stood on end, as if he was being targeted by some fierce demon beast.

Completely relying on instinct, Chu Xian jumped up on one side of his body, supported the ground with one palm, and almost at the same time, three arrows were already inserted in the place where he was sitting just now.

The three arrows were submerged in most of the ground, which shows that the strength is so strong that even if you wear iron armor, you can't resist it.

Chu Xian avoided it, but the others were not so lucky.

Of the remaining ten cave candle guards, five were killed on the spot by the sneak attack stray arrows, and some of them were pierced with more than a dozen arrows, and the remaining cave candle guards were also injured, but not fatal.

"Enemy attack!"

One of the cave candle guards spoke, and the rest did not hide, but stepped forward to protect Chu Xian, Wu Siping, and Feng Chong respectively.

They are internal guards, soldiers, and in the Cave Candle Division, soldiers are officers who want to protect them with all their might.

Even in this case, they did not forget their mission.

Chu Xian noticed that Wu Siping was also injured, he had two arrows pierced in his body, this person was also hard bones, stared, sat down cross-legged, and used his magic weapon.

The eight-sided dragon turtle iron shield.

In an instant, his iron shield was actually peeled away layer by layer, as if a book, peeling off page by page, actually forming a cover composed of more than a dozen shields, protecting the surrounding area of several zhang.

It was as if it was a huge turtle shell that covered everyone.

Why?

Because there was a second round of arrow rain, almost at the same time as Wu Siping stretched the iron shield apart, the arrows like a torrential rain fell with a bang.

The mountains and forests where they were located were instantly full of dense arrows, and it seemed that there must be thousands of arrows, and each of them was an iron arrow, even if it was a hundred zhang away, it could rely on the power of the fall to pierce the iron armor.

The iron arrows outside the iron shield alone are densely packed, and there is not even a little spare space.

If it weren't for the protection of the iron shield, Chu Xian and they would all have to become hedgehogs.

Wu Siping spurted out a mouthful of blood, he had already been hit by a stray arrow, and just now he opened the iron shield with all his might, and at this moment he was already injured and injured, after all, so many arrows hit the iron shield, and the force was also quite terrifying.

Now, except for Chu Xian and Feng Chong, the rest of the internal guards are almost all injured.

"Captain Wu, hold on one more round!" Feng Chong sat cross-legged at this time, he was about to make a move, there was no doubt that this time they had fallen into the trap again, and the other party had almost used tactics specifically aimed at them.

Long-range archery.

And the position is definitely a hundred zhang away, relying on the method of parabolic projection, it is enough to attack here from a hundred zhang away.

At this distance, it is just the limit of their perception ability, so even if the other party has an ambush, they are unaware.

Outside, there are at least two hundred to three hundred iron archers, throwing iron arrows at a high place, and it will definitely not end with only two rounds of shooting, Wu Siping is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and if there is another round, he will definitely not be able to hold on, and when the time comes, if he loses the protection of the iron shield, one of them will be counted as one, and they will all die under the rain of arrows.
