Shen Yangui on the tree got the chance and immediately threw the knife in his hand.

The leading young general lowered his head, his chin touched a hint of coldness, and where he lowered his eyes, two feet of white blades slanted downwards.

A drop of blood quickly slid along the blade to the tip of the knife. When it gathered into crystal clear blood drops and dripped, he covered his neck and knelt down straight.

Can't even say half a complete word.

The people on both sides didn't react. They turned their heads and lowered their gazes, "General Cui!"

The deputy general shouted: "There is an ambush! Be on guard!"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Yangui fell silently into the center of the crowd like a ghost. She stretched out her hand to withdraw the ritual knife.

There was a pop, and blood spattered three feet.

General Cui fell down and said goodbye to his short life with the dream of meritorious service.

The soldiers next to him drew their swords one after another and automatically formed a circle to surround Shen Yangui.

The point of the long knife could kill Shen Yangui with just one command.

"Stop it all!"

Shen Yangui held the order high in his hand and shouted with the strength of his chest: "This is the golden order of the regent's palace! Anyone who sees this golden order is like seeing the regent. All officers and men obey the order!!!"

No one dared to step forward, nor did they kneel down. Only the torches occasionally burst out sparks, shaking the figures.

The deputy general in charge of tonight's encirclement and suppression operation winked at the two centurions.

When Sang Niu on the high ground saw it, she was so frightened that she couldn't help her.

I saw the three people draw their swords at the same time and attack from behind. Shen Yangui listened to the movement of dead branches and leaves, threw the golden order into the sky, held the sword in both hands, turned around and broke the blade, making two clanging sounds, and half of the centurion's sword was left. .

When the two people were shocked, Shen Yangui stopped and waved his sword.

The golden order fell and the head flew away.

Shen Yangui took a bow to steady his body and reached out to catch Jin Ling.

The deputy general's head hit one of the centurions on the head impartially. He screamed and sat down on the ground.

Shen Yangui swept his eyes coldly, holding the instrument knife tightly, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

"Who else?"

Shentu Wuji was stationed here. Although he secretly did many things to rebel, and in front of the real king of Lizhou, he still did not dare to rebel openly.

Most of the soldiers at the bottom were serving in the army. After two or three years, they had to go back to their respective families. Shen Yangui firmly believed that they were obeying orders just to find a way to survive.

The soldier unconsciously took a step back.

The circle of encirclement opened.

Seeing this, Shen Yangui stood up slowly and said loudly:

"Shen Tu is plotting rebellion without any reason. The regent has noticed that the new hussar general has led a hundred thousand men to travel day and night. He will rush here soon. You who are unaware of this! You will not be held accountable! Immediately abandon the dark side and surrender to the helper! Let's judge the merits afterwards. Reward! Those who are stubborn will be punished by the nine tribes!!"

Looking at the golden token reflected in the firelight, as well as General Cui and the centurion who have lost their heads, those who can give orders are dead, so what are you still struggling for?

All the soldiers knelt down.

"See His Royal Highness the Regent!"

Here they knelt down and saluted in unison. The two teams that had sneaked up to the high ground looked at this side, somewhat at a loss.

A centurion rushed up from the high ground. He knelt forward and said with his hands clasped in fists:

"Sir, these are ordinary soldiers in the army. If you dare to disobey the general's order, your body and head will be separated. It is not our will to oppress the people. Please give me a warning from the regent!"

Another centurion said: "I am a villager from Jinshui Village nearby. I have served in the army for one year. I am used to seeing that dog thief indulge himself and act arrogantly with his followers. There is not a day that goes by that I don't want to kill him!"

"We are willing to abandon darkness and turn to light!"

"We also wish!"

There were more and more echoes. Shen Yangui breathed a sigh of relief and could feel the pain in his hands.

She looked at the centurion who was the first to defect, "What's your name?"

"Chen Tong, centurion of the humble cavalry battalion."

"Cavalry battalion?"

Shen Yangui saw that everyone who came tonight was from the infantry camp.

Chen Tong replied: "Hui, sir, I shouldn't have come here tonight. I overheard it and took the initiative to apply."

"Oh?"

I took the initiative to apply. Is this because I am eager to make meritorious deeds?

Shen Yangui slowly raised the knife in his hand.

Chen Tong continued: "The purpose of joining the army in a humble position is to serve the country and protect the old and the weak, not to oppress compatriots. But now the people who should be protected are being forced by the old thief Shentu to use a knife to defend themselves. As a man, I feel ashamed. Tonight Shentu The old thief wants to kill these poor women with his sword, I can't bear to see this, so I brought my brothers here, hoping to rescue everyone at the critical moment."

He truthfully reported the troops sent by Shentu Wuji. The leading young general Cui Li was the nephew of Shentu Wuji's confidant general. If he returned victorious tonight, he would be officially promoted to general.

The number of people who went up the mountain and entered the forest was said to be a thousand, but in fact there were only five hundred people. Five people came out of Baihua Tower.

The receptionist at Yamashita said there were 800 people, but in fact there were only 300 people.

In other words, in order to deal with Sang Niu's less than thirty people, Shentu Wuji actually sent eight hundred people to feed Cui Li's mouth.

Unfortunately, he still didn't survive.

"This evening, Shentu Dog Thief and his few confidants set out for Xianfa City overnight. The brothers from the cavalry battalion brought dozens of horses and were waiting in the west. If you don't believe me, you can send Sister Niu to go there in person. Check.”

Dozens of war horses were making a lot of noise, and Shen Yan was not deaf.

The capital has not sent a hussar general. If she does not believe in Chen Tong, she will have almost no useful people.

But just by believing in Chen Tong's words, he risked the lives of all the girls and even himself.

For Shen Yangui, this is a big gamble.

The time has come to test her.

Shen Yangui looked at Sang Niu who was anxiously waiting for his news on the high ground. He took two steps slowly, turned around, and looked through the layers of forest leaves towards the first city.

If it were Jing Ming, what would he choose now?

The instrument sword was slowly raised, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Chen Tong.

What is a big gamble for her, is not the same for Chen Tong?

Chen Tong straightened his spine even more, his eyes were firm and unafraid at all.

"Chen Tong listens to the order!"

A flash of light flashed in Chen Tong's eyes, and with a snap, he covered his left hand with his right hand, "This is my humble duty!"

"I will make you a fourth-grade Zhongwu General immediately. Before the arrival of the Hussar General and his army, you will take over all the powers of Shentu Wuji in Lizhou."

A centurion is a low-level officer with no rank or title. He directly jumped up the rank and was promoted to the fourth rank. Unless it was a war, this was unprecedented.

But now it is war time.

When you are given an order in a critical situation, you must be kind and generous.

As for taking over all the powers of Shentu Wuji, before Shentu Wuji was controlled, it was just an empty talk.

Chen Tong kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Prince Regent."

"Get up."

Shen Yangui glanced at the soldiers around him and spoke with Chen Tong.

"Those three hundred people at the foot of the mountain..."

"It's also believable."

Shen Yangui nodded and looked at the corpses lying on the ground. "If I had enough time and could contact you in advance, there wouldn't be so many casualties tonight."

Chen Tongdao: "You don't have to feel guilty, those people didn't die unjustly."

"How to say?"

"The dog thief Shen Tu has issued a message to capture a female bandit and a knight alive." He changed his words in time, "A reward of ten taels of silver and half a month's leave. They were rushing in front to gain credit for themselves. Didn't you see that they were going to kill someone else later? , do you all think that thunder is loud and rain is small?"

In this case, those mechanisms are not wasted.

Shen Yangui: "People in the capital don't have time to arrive before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but we must rescue the innocent woman before the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

"Not only are there women, that thief is very seductress, and many young men were also abducted by him."

"A good man?"

What surprised Shen Yangui was not the lustful man himself.

She suddenly thought that Shen Tu Wuji had been so kind to Jing Ming in the past. Could it be that he had always had some evil intentions but failed to succeed?

She remembered Sang Niu's words again, there was something wrong with Yuelai Inn...

Will something happen to Jing Ming?

"Yes, I originally planned to bring people to meet Sister Niu tonight to rescue people together..."

Chen Tong was still talking, and Shen Yangui felt a little uneasy. She asked Chen Tong to gather the remaining people, reorganize them, and then went to Sang Niu's side to explain the matter again.

"You are so brave, do you believe him?"

Shen Yangui's tone was slightly cold, "Do you have any choice?"

Sang Niu opened her mouth and then held back her words.

"With Chen Tong's ability, he can completely replace Cui Li and command the remaining soldiers."

Shen Yangui looked at the corpses being dragged together in the forest, "There are still four hundred people on the mountain, three hundred people below the mountain to the east, and countless cavalry under the mountain to the west. We are no match for them to escape or fight."

Sang Niu glanced at the girls.

They were still afraid of these armored soldiers, put their knives at their feet, hugged each other, and remained on the high ground.

"What do you mean now? Princess Regent."

Shen Yangui could hear the dissatisfaction in Sang Niu's tone.

The officers and bandits had been fighting for so long, and it was really difficult for her to shake hands and make peace with the people in Shentu Wuji Camp and fight side by side.

But there is no way.

"Your people stay with the girls. I will ask Chen Tong to leave a team to protect everyone. As for you, come into the city with me."

As if worried that Sang Niu would run away, Shen Yangui held her wrist tightly and said, "Let's go to First City now."

Sang Niu looked at the forest outside the firelight and said, "It's almost dawn."

Shen Yan returned and raised his head. The moon set unknown when, the stars disappeared, and the sky sank like ink.

"It's time for dawn here!"
