After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

After Hu Lie was defeated at the palace gate, he led his rebel army out of the west gate and headed west.

Xu Zhongping led the Black Armor Army in pursuit of the victory, and they fought several times along the way.

Hu Lie was not keen on fighting, and would rather lose troops and cut off his rear to survive than fight a decisive battle with the Black Armored Army.

"General, something is wrong."

Song Yingzhong tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

The two sides had just experienced a battle. When they passed by the stream, Xu Zhongping asked the troops to take a short break, drink some water and eat something.

Yun Chaomu asked, "Old Song, do you think Hu Lie slipped away too quickly?"

Song Yingzhong said: "Their troops are twice as many as ours, and their fighting power is not too weak. With Hu Lie's temperament, he shouldn't be defeated so easily."

Yun Chaomu nodded: "Yeah, if he doesn't have any blood in him, is he still Hu Lie? Could he be a fake?"

Huo Ting said lightly: "who do you think are Luo Shan and Lu Yuan?"

However, he also felt that Hu Lie's reaction was wrong, as if he was deliberately luring them into the trap.

Huo Ting suggested: "General, do you want me to take a team to follow Hu Lie and see what he is up to?"

Xu Zhongping showed his bandit spirit and said arrogantly: "He is selling rat poison in his gourd. I must eat it today!"

After hearing this, none of the three of them tried to persuade him anymore.

Military orders are like mountains.

Even if the general took everyone to die, they would never retreat.

Hu Lie, who was in the front, was quite puzzled when he saw the black-armored army catching up with him again.

Are the Black Armored Army reckless or stupid?

The original plan was more perfect. It was the defeat outside the palace gate that caught him off guard, and even the act of luring the Black Armored Army was a bit hasty.

I thought the Black Armored Army wouldn't be so easily baited, but... they just caught up with me like this?

"General, is this a trick?"

The speaker was a deputy general under Hu Lie, whose surname was Qin and name was Jiang.

The Four Vajras were either dead or captured, and he replaced the four and became Hu Lie's most trusted confidant.

Hu Lie’s first reaction was also that it was a trick.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems unlikely.

All 10,000 Black Armored Army soldiers are here. What else can they do?

It couldn't be that the Black Armored Army had predicted everything, set up an ambush in advance, and were going to encircle his army?

Perhaps the Black Armored Army is not as powerful as the rumors say. It's all just the Great Zhou people bragging. The Great Zhou and Northern Liang have weak military forces, which makes the Black Armored Army appear invincible.

His army is not so easy to defeat!

Thinking of this, Hu Lie decided to take a gamble: "Keep moving forward!"

Qin Jiang cupped his hands: "Yes!"

Hu Lie's army fled all the way into the barren mountains in the west.

This barren mountain is called Yanluo Mountain. It has towering cliffs and dangerous peaks. It is truly a barren mountain.

If it were a few months ago, Hu Lie would never have dared to barge in rashly.

But now, his allies have already paved the way for him.

Hu Lie followed the secret codes along the way and headed straight for the heart of the canyon.

An hour later, Xu Zhongping chased here.

The dusk was deep, the evening breeze was blowing, and everything was silent.

"Lost?"

Yun Chaomu pinched his chin suspiciously.

Xu Zhongping looked at the surrounding terrain coldly.

"No, we are surrounded."

Yun Chaomu was stunned.

In just a moment, the four scouts who had gone out to gather information came back to report.

Consistent with Xu Zhongping's judgment, Hu Lie's army ambushed on the hills on all sides and surrounded them.

"How did he get scattered around?"

Yun Chaomu muttered.

Huo Ting said: "There has been an ambush."

Song Yingzhong nodded: "Hu Lie has been luring us, and it seems that he intends to catch us all here. His military force should be much larger than we expected."

He looked at Xu Zhongping, "General, what should we do next?"

Xu Zhongping said one word lightly: "Kill."

Yun Chaomu's blood instantly boiled: "Great, we haven't used our fists for many years since the battle at Yumen Pass. It's time to let these bastards see how powerful the Black Armor Army is - now that the Black Armor Army is out, who can compete with us!"

He lowered the visor of his helmet.

Huo Ting and Song Yingzhong also put down their masks, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

All the black-armored soldiers stood up and drew their weapons in unison. The sound of armor rubbing against each other was so loud that it shook the sky and stopped the clouds.

In an instant, the silent forest was filled with the smell of war and battle.

"General! They are coming to kill us!"

Qin Jiang reported.

"how many people?"

Hu Lie asked.

Qin Jiang said: "...all the troops."

Hu Lie was startled: "What?"

After a pause, he frowned and said, "Don't they know they are surrounded? They can't even figure out this little bit?"

"Maybe I want to tear a hole in it."

Qin Jiang speculated.

Hu Lie said thoughtfully, "This is what we should do when we are surrounded, but our route is definitely not the best strategy. If they want to break out, they should go through the small barren mountain in the south. There are not many troops there, the terrain is flat, and it is easy to attack but difficult to defend."

Xiaohuangshan was originally a loophole that Hu Lie deliberately left for Xu Zhongping.

He was worried that Xu Zhongping would not take the bait so easily, so he chose to sacrifice part of his troops.

However, Xu Zhongping took the bait faster than he had imagined, and he forgot to withdraw the troops from Xiaohuangshan.

"What on earth is this Xu Zhongping doing?"

He couldn't guess what the other person was thinking.

The other party probably didn't guess what he meant.

But he had an inexplicable illusion that Xu Zhongping didn't even bother to guess what his plan was.

He planned his plans, and Xu Zhongping beat Xu Zhongping.

"It doesn't matter. If they want to die, let them be! This road is the most difficult to break through. There are not only swamps, but also lightning and fire arrays, and a tampered suspension bridge..."

"Report——"

Before Hu Lie finished speaking, a spy hurriedly ran up to him, knelt on one knee and reported, "General, the Black Armored Army has passed through the swamp!"

Hu Lie clenched his fist.

Qin Jiang asked incredulously: "How long has it been? We have already crossed the swamp? What are the casualties?"

The spy said awkwardly: "No one was injured or killed."

Qin Jiang took a breath and said, "How could it be..."

That swamp is a forbidden area for the entire barren mountain. The whole army passed through? It's almost like the whole army was wiped out!

Can the Black Armored Army fly? !

The Black Armor Army's rich combat experience was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Qin Jiang suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

When the last black-armored soldier crossed the swamp, Yun Chaomu clapped his hands indifferently: "A mere swamp, you think you can stop me? With me here, not even a mouse can get stuck in the swamp."

Huo Ting said seriously, "don't take it lightly, I smell a smell of sulfur."

"Someone using thunder and fire?"

Yun Chaomu smiled and said to Song Yingzhong, "Old Song, it's your turn."

Song Yingzhong said calmly: "I am just a blacksmith, you think too highly of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked quickly, jumped up, and rushed into the canyon.

Thunder and fire roared, and the land was barren for thousands of miles.

"It's a good formation, but unfortunately, it's what the Grand Marshal left behind!"

The rumbling sound was endless, the sky was filled with smoke, and the mountains and rivers were shaking.

Yun Chaomu waved his folding fan leisurely, with a wanton smile on his handsome face.

"Old Song, your skills are still as sharp as ever!"

Huo Ting frowned: "where did the fan come from?"

Yun Chaomu put away the folding fan: "It was given to me by Youji Guard."

Huo Ting said coldly, "who else can you learn from, why not learn from that chicken?"

Yun Chaomu smiled and said, "You don't understand this. Well, with your appearance, you can't learn it even if you want to."

Suddenly, an iron rod came flying.

Yun Chaomu raised his fan to block the attack.

boom!

The iron rod exploded.

Yun Chaomu's folding fan was blown into a broom.

He opened his mouth expressionlessly and exhaled a puff of black smoke.

Song Yingzhong walked out from the thick smoke dressed in black. He was dark to begin with, and now he almost blended into the night.

Yun Chaomu asked dissatisfiedly: "Old Song, can you be more accurate next time?"

Song Yingzhong glanced at Yun Chaomu and said, "Did it hit you? I didn't mean to do that! But are you that bad?"

Yun Chaomu was so angry that he died!

"General, the lightning and fire array has been cleared, take over--"

Song Yingzhong's eyes went dark and he fainted.

Yun Chaomu was shocked: "Old Song!"

Huo Ting squatted down, sniffed his breath, and waved to the dark.

A medical officer on standby came forward with a medicine box, took Song Yingzhong's pulse and checked his injuries.

"General, Captain En was drugged."

Yun Chaomu asked suspiciously, "Where did the drug come from?"

"Thunder and Fire Formation."

Huo Ting said.

Xu Zhongping looked toward the canyon filled with smoke, and something flashed in his eyes.

Yun Chaomu followed the general's gaze and pinched his chin: "This canyon is not small, and the drugs needed are not small. Where did Hu Lie get so many drugs? No one in the imperial city has purchased drugs in large quantities."

Xu Zhongping stared and said, "The only place that can take out a large amount of drugs without anyone noticing is Yaowang Valley."

Yun Chaomu opened his eyes wide: "Hu Lie colluded with Yaowang Valley? What's going on with Yaowang Valley? One moment he colluded with Qianji Pavilion, the next moment he colluded with Hu Lie——"

Huo Ting looked at Yun Chaomu.

Yun Chaomu asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Huo Ting said bluntly: "Maotu has been with you all the time. Has she ever mentioned the plan of Yaowang Valley by accident?"

Yun Chaomu answered truthfully: "She only said that she wanted to get the Black Armor Army, but she didn't say that she would use such means, such as drugging. Why do I feel that this is not a simple matter?"

The medical officer gave Song Yingzhong an injection and fed him medicine.

Song Yingzhong's life is not in danger, but he can no longer fight.

Xu Zhongping handed him over to two personal soldiers, and after the drug in the canyon wore off, he led the army forward.

On the other side, Hu Lie heard the sound of the thunder and fire array exploding.

He was waiting for the news of the Black Armor Army's defeat with confidence, but was told that the Black Armor Army was heading towards the suspension bridge at full speed.

Hu Lie was a little confused.

It would have been fine if the swamp couldn't stop them, but how come even the thunder and fire formation failed?

"It doesn't matter, the suspension bridge is the killer!"

I can find a way through the swamp and I can get through the thunder and fire array, but I can't really grow wings and fly across the suspension bridge on the cliff.

Fortunately, they only lost a small number of troops. Once they found out that the suspension bridge was a trap, they could only take a detour, and at that time, they would fall completely into the trap of Yaowang Valley.

He didn't care what Yaowang Valley wanted to do to the Black Armor Army.

What he wants is for the Black Armored Army to disappear from the world.

From now on, his army will become the most invincible elite force in the world!

Two spies were lying in ambush at the other end of the suspension bridge, carefully watching the movements of the Black Armored Army.

However, the black-armored army seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one was seen until late at night.

The news spread back to the camp.

Hu Lie frowned: "Is there any situation in Medicine King Valley?"

Qin Jiang said: "I haven't heard that the Black Armor Army attacked."

Hu Lie was puzzled: "Strange, neither the suspension bridge nor the mountain road, is there a third way?"

Qin Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be possible that... they were actually drugged and were 'annihilated' halfway through the journey?"

The drugs buried under the thunder and fire array in Yaowang Valley are not ordinary drugs. Even if you inhale just one breath, you will be unconscious for three to five days.

Hu Lie stood up and paced a few steps in the tent: "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. With the help of Medicine King Valley, it's just a matter of time before we can help King Jin regain the throne."

call out!

A murderous aura was approaching.

As soon as Hu Lie turned around, he saw an icy arrow piercing Qin Jiang's head mercilessly.

Qin Jiang didn't even have time to scream. He opened his eyes wide and fell to the ground in a daze.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack——"

Outside the tent, a sentry shouted.

At the same time, on the top of the mountains on all sides, in the dark night, someone was beating the war drums.

Like thunder, like a dragon's roar, it soars into the sky and dominates the universe.

The black-armored army rushed into the Hu family army's base like a surging torrent.

There was no sound of fighting, everything was silent.

The blood filled the air in the camp, and soul-attracting flowers bloomed on the roadside.

Hu Lie watched his soldiers fall one after another, while the black-armored soldiers were like elusive ghosts, their movements were incredibly fast.

This is not a two-way battle.

It was a one-sided massacre.

A sentence that he heard from somewhere suddenly flashed through Hu Lie's mind -

Ten thousand death warriors, ten thousand men in black armor.

Hu Lie finally panicked.

He truly understood the power of the Black Armor Army, but it came at the cost of the army he had trained with great effort.

But... he was clearly also trained according to the Black Armor Army.

Which step was wrong?

Could it be that Yaowang Valley deceived him?

He took out the signal bamboo, split the tent with a sword, and released the fireworks signal.

However, just as it rose to mid-air, Xu Zhongping knocked it back to the ground with a sword!

Hu Lie was shocked.

Xu Zhongping flipped the tent over with one palm and looked at him coldly: "Hu Lie, it's your turn."

Hu Lie stared at the man in front of him in a daze.

The two men fought at the palace gate.

But the Xu Zhongping in front of him was completely different from the one he was back then.

He's more like... more like a killing god.

"Who are you anyway?"

Hu Lie asked, clenching his fists.

Xu Zhongping's fingertips stroked the sword blade, leaving a string of crystal blood beads: "The Blood-Robed Marquis, Han Qi."

Hu Lie felt like he was falling into an ice cellar: "The Blood-Robed Marquis... the great killer who killed all his disciples and left 3,000 corpses? It's you - you didn't - convert to Buddhism, didn't you?"

The news that the Blood-Cloaked Marquis had killed all of his disciples caused a sensation in the martial arts world and spread to the courts of various countries.

The heroes of the world were filled with righteous indignation and wished they could kill him as soon as possible.

Later, he was enlightened by a master and accepted as his disciple.

Han Qi stroked the blood beads on the sword blade, his handsome and stern face was reflected on the cold blade.

"Buddha cannot save me."

"Only the Grand Marshal can do that."

-

royal palace.

Meng Qianqian was sitting in the room, playing chess with herself.

Tan'er and Baozhuzhu were sleeping on her bed with their legs spread out, and the two of them, one big and one small, were breathing evenly.

The door was open, and the moonlight flowed gently all over the floor.

A tall figure slowly appeared at the door.

Meng Qianqian dropped a white piece: "You're back."

He placed the box containing the head on the ground and said, "Han Qi, I have accomplished my mission!"
