Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 275

Just as more than 300 imperial guards and more than 500 men in black were fighting together, in the guest room of the inn, the maid Xiaoman was sitting at the table, holding a blue book, her eyes slightly frowned.

Outside the door, the killer Huamanlou cupped his fists and bowed his head slightly:

"Miss Qi, all the one hundred and fourteen assassins who broke into the front yard have been executed. Four of them are at the Bright Moon Realm, 17 are at the Fate Star Realm, and the remaining martial arts are all above the Seventh Rank of Acquired Heaven!"

"Without exception, all of these people had their faces destroyed, making it difficult to identify their identities. But judging from the scars, they were recently disfigured, and not completely destroyed. The subordinates have already ordered people to record the bones of 21 innate, It only takes a few hours to roughly describe the appearance, and combined with Huamanlou's information, it is not difficult to find out the identities of this group of people!"

Silver Knife's voice was somewhat arrogant.

Half of the four Haoyue Realm who attacked were killed by his knife!
There were two people whose cultivation bases were at the peak of the Bright Moon Realm, but their auras were vain, and it looked like they had been forcibly raised up with pills, but they were killed by him and Jiang Langya alone!

The remaining people, under the siege of Jiang Shan and a group of Huamanlou's elite killers, all died within a few breaths!

In his opinion, the people behind the scenes who planned this operation are simply stupid. If Jiang Qingyu really wants to take his life, he only needs to send a master of the Sunshine Realm. It takes such a lot of time and effort, and it looks like a huge force, but it is useless .

unless……

The imperial guards led by Dong Shen turned their backs and joined the opponent's camp, and entered the post station together.

Xiaoman sneered:
"The mere four Haoyues dare to assassinate the young master?"

"It seems that the person behind the scenes is very measured, and he didn't want the young master's life at all!"

"Forget it, the identities of those people can be checked if they can be found out, and it's okay if they can't be found out! To gather an army of thousands of people within a hundred miles of the capital, to attack the post in a grandiose manner, except for the one in the capital, anyone?"

"..."

Silver Knife was silent.

He also guessed that the attack tonight was clearly arranged by members of the royal family, otherwise the more than 100 men in black would not be able to break through the defense of the imperial guards and enter the post station!

He had just seen it with his own eyes. Although many imperial guards were sitting on horses, wearing armor and holding spears, they all looked drowsy. That's why the men in black easily killed a large number of them, and they were defeated!
But this army is the leader of the imperial guards in the capital!

Although most of the imperial guards were from rich and powerful sons, and their ambitions were much lower than those of the guards who conquered the Quartet, they were not so lazy!
What's more, Dong Shen is famous for his strict rules among the eight commanders of the imperial guards!
and so……

Someone must have arranged all this!
Only the one who gave the order could make Dong Shen, one of the commanders of the Eight Great Imperial Guards, negligent and make such a big mistake!

"How's the situation outside?"

Xiaoman asked suddenly.

Silver Knife reported:

"Dong Shen is leading 500 remnants of the imperial guards to fight with more than [-] men in black. The situation is not optimistic. If we don't intervene, the entire imperial guards will probably be wiped out!"

Xiaoman chuckled lightly:
"I'm really willing to spend my money!"

"One thousand imperial guards, thousands of men in black, add up to almost a dozen Haoyues, thirty or forty stars of life, even if it is the Jing family, if so many backbones die all at once, I'm afraid it will be too late." It hurts for a while!"

She paused and said again:

"wrong!"

"Bone Ming died, and the strength of that one was weakened due to the backlash. After Xingyi Town killed Gu Ming, he was expected to be promoted to the fifth rank of innate, and the Meteor Pavilion publicized the matter of that one who used humans to feed dragons in the upper echelons of the human race. It can be said that the Jing family is in danger right now, with Jing Hong's temperament, how can he compromise his strength at this juncture?"

"This group of men in black must not be from the Jing clan's own power!"

"As for the Imperial Guard..."

"I think that in Jing Hong's plan, more than half of the 1000 people should be killed or injured, but Dong Shen and other innate masters are not prepared to be buried with them all!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yindao immediately echoed:
"Miss is right. This subordinate just took a look outside. Both Dong Shen and the other two Haoyuejing were seriously injured. Among the men in black, there are still three Haoyuejinglings who have retained their full combat strength. They can obviously exchange their injuries for their lives." , but the offensive of the three suddenly slowed down, it seems that they are not in a hurry to kill Dong Shen and the other three!"

"In addition, Dong Shen's previous injury is also very strange! As the peak of the Bright Moon Realm, his strength is only slightly inferior to that of Qingsan and Jiang Langya, but he was pierced by a spear in the abdomen in the blink of an eye. A star!"

"Obviously, he deliberately injured himself seriously in order to avoid being held accountable afterwards!"

Xiaoman sneered:
"But it's also clear that he doesn't want to die!"

Yindao was startled for a moment, then said again in the next moment:
"Yes."

"After all, he is one of the commanders of the Eight Imperial Guards in the capital. He is expected to advance to the Sunshine Realm, and he is completely loyal to Jing Hong. It is not worth sacrificing here!"

"If he dies, it also means that Jing Hong has spent all his money this time. It is absolutely impossible to just play a show. At least he must remove the few statues of the Bright Moon Realm beside His Royal Highness, so that it is not a loss!"

Xiaoman nodded slightly:

"To be honest, I didn't understand why Jing Hong planned such a play."

"Maybe when you find out the identities of the men in black, you can find out something!"

"However, the hundreds of black-clothed men who broke into the inn right now were all executed, and none of them came close to the young master. Jiang Langya took five hundred Anbei soldiers and three hundred Xiong's guards to another place, under the guise of searching for the enemy. In the name of this, I was able to successfully avoid being involved in this fight!"

"so……"

Yindao said first:
"So, all of Jing Hong's plans are in vain!"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoman shook his head and said:

"Do not."

"Jing Hong has eagles and dogs that are not inferior to Huamanlou. Among the top ten eunuchs in the capital, there is one who picks up the stars and four who honor the sun. It is not difficult to inquire about the guards beside the young master, but he still only sent out one that can't talk about it." Thousands of assassins threatening!"

"It can be seen that his purpose is not to kill the young master, but to have other plans!"

"Uncle Yindao, don't underestimate the emperor of Chu. When Jing Hong was the prince, he could reject the king of the North from among the thieves and entrust him with important tasks. For more than ten years, the people of Chu State have been grateful to the royal family. Even in Qingzhou, which was ravaged by King Jingxuan of Qingjiang, many people believed that it was Jingxuan, not Jinghong! !"

"So, the move he made tonight must have been predicted by the enemy!"

Silver Knife frowned slightly:

"Then what should we do?"

"We can't figure out his plan, and we can't see his tricks."

Xiaoman glanced back at Jiang Qingyu, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and a trace of softness flashed across her eyes:
"Don't worry too much."

"Since you can't see through any conspiracy, you might as well stop it with silence!"

"You send people to keep guarding the front yard. If a man in black enters, kill him. If not, then let Dong Shen lead the guards to fight with the man in black!"

"I want to see, when the three Haoyue realms are all seriously injured and I don't send anyone to help them, how will they continue to play this scene!"

Immediately, Yindao understood:

"My subordinate understands."

If no one intervenes in the battle outside and the current situation continues, then the remaining 300 Imperial Guards including Dong Shen and the three Haoyues will definitely be wiped out!
This will be a price that the Jing family is unwilling to bear!

But it is the result that all of them are happy to see.

……

at the same time.

Outside the post station, Dong Shen was leading the remaining imperial guards to fight endlessly with a group of men in black.

At this moment, he had pulled out the spear in his abdomen, hastily applied the ointment to stop the bleeding, took the medicine for healing, and fought with a man in black in the Bright Moon Realm.

Although the injuries had been treated, due to the constant fights, the abdominal wounds burst open again, and the gurgling blood stained the shirt and dripped on the feet, leaving a series of blood-stained footprints, adding a bit of tragedy to it.

His aura gradually languished, and the man in black held a dagger, cutting deep gashes on his body continuously, as if playing a game.

Every time a knife is cut, a string of blood beads will splash out!

Dong Shen's eyes were burning with anger, and he let out a beast-like roar.

It seems to be intimidating, it seems to be courageous, and it seems to be unyielding!
Although they couldn't hear what he was saying, everyone saw his momentum weakening.

It seems like a candle in the wind!

It seemed that the next moment, the commander of the imperial guards who was expected to enter the Yaori Realm in this life would die on the spot!
"Commander Dong, hold on!"

Seeing this scene, some imperial guards couldn't help shouting angrily:
"Where's Jiang Langya? Where's Xiong Xing? Where did you take the [-] living people?"

"It's a capital offense to fight timidly!"

"If you don't rush to support, are you planning to wait until we and the enemy are both wounded, and you will come to clean up the mess?"

"Sure enough, the old ministers in the court are right! The northern border has turned against it, and it is imperative to cut down the feudal clan!"

"Your actions today will bring endless disasters to the northern border!"

……

But no matter how loud the imperial guards shouted, no one responded.

It was as if all the 800 people had disappeared!
But the battle continues.

The imperial guards and the men in black acted out the current play under the orders of the emperor Jing Hong. They wanted to involve the five hundred Anbei army and give a warning to the prince and his son, but now because of Jiang Langya's evacuation was completely messed up!

In addition...

After Dong Shen was severely wounded and hundreds of men in black poured into the front yard of the inn, the two sides outside seemed to be very powerful, but in fact they all kept their hands back. They were all waiting for the people who rushed in to spread the signal, so the task was barely completed. The men in black can retreat, and the remaining Praetorians can save their lives!

But they waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the station. On the contrary, because many brothers died, the people on both sides gradually started a real fire, and caused even greater casualties!

Corpses fell down screaming and wailing.

Many of the corpses had hideous faces, as if they were really fighting real enemies before dying.

"Dong Shen, what should we do now?"

The masked man in black who was fighting with Dong Shen glanced at the surrounding situation, and couldn't help feeling extremely anxious:
"Zhou Xing and the others are probably in danger, and Jiang Langya has made it clear that he won't interfere."

"If you keep fighting, we will all die!"

Dong Shen snorted coldly, and said in a low, inaudible voice:
"What can I do?"

"It's not your fault that caused this embarrassing situation! Why didn't we attack the Anbei Army first? One of our goals tonight is to wipe out the Anbei Army!"

The man in black argued:

"Anyone with a discerning eye could see just now that attacking the slack Imperial Guards is the best choice!"

"The Anbei Army is not like you. They are all focused on guarding. If they attack them, not to mention that they can't kill so many people in the first place, your imperial guards will definitely not be able to pretend to be asleep. You have to surround them!"

"We only have more than 1000 people, and we don't know how to deploy troops. How can we stop the cavalry's iron hooves when we fight on our own?"

Dong Shen gritted his teeth and said:
"Why do you want to block it?"

"According to the plan, all of you more than 1000 people are abandoned! If you exchange your lives for the lives of five hundred An Beijun, it will be worth it!"

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the man in black suddenly became sharp:
"Dong Shen, even though our group is born as servants and bears humble backgrounds, we are not pawns for you to fiddle with life and death!"

"For this plan, we disfigured our appearance and were willing to die, not because of how noble we are, nor because of how loyal we are, but simply because the gang of thieves threatened the lives of our whole family and had to die. die!"

"Yes! You're right. I could have launched an attack on the Anbei Army, but before I came, I had a discussion with my brothers..."

"They agreed that, compared to the Anbei Army, they hoped to personally destroy your Imperial Guard Army composed of powerful children!"

The man in black laughed at himself, with a ferocious and ferocious smile.

The next moment, he looked up at Dong Shen, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"..."

When Dong Shen met the other party's gaze, he felt horrified:
"You, what are you going to do?"

At this time, he was seriously injured, and his strength was less than [-]% of that in his heyday. Before that, the man in black had been holding back, so he had been able to hold on.

But he knew very well in his heart that if the other party was desperate, there would be more than [-]% chance of exchanging his life for his own!
"doing what?"

The man in black smiled:
"Dong Shen, do you think I just cut so many cuts in you with the dagger just for fun?"

"..."

Hearing this, Dong Shen immediately thought something was wrong.

The next moment, he suddenly felt weak all over, and it was difficult to mobilize the spiritual power in his body.

He looked at the man in black, not daring to say anything:

"You, you put poison on the dagger!"

The man in black said frankly:

"Yes."

"Commander Dong, let me introduce you. This kind of poison is usually used by your dignitaries on your servants and maidservants to make them lose all their strength, so that you can punish them wantonly and play with them!"

"It has a nice name called 'Only One'."

"But we secretly call it in private, Nuyin."

"Because anyone who has been poisoned by this poison, even if the poison is cured afterwards, there will be a black spot on the wrist that cannot be erased!"

After finishing speaking, the man in black opened his sleeves, revealing a section of his arm.

I saw six black spots on his wrist.

This means that he has been poisoned by the "I am the only one" poison six times, lost all his strength, and was severely bullied and punished by his master six times!

Feeling the decline in strength and the strong murderous intent in the eyes of the man in black, Dong Shen couldn't help but tremble all over:

"no no!"

"It shouldn't be like this!"

"You are against the decree!"

But the man in black smiled, walked to Dong Shen's side, and picked up the spear that was thrown on the ground by the other party:
"Anti-order?"

"We don't want our lives, are we still afraid of resisting the decree?"

After finishing the words, he stabbed the spear straight through Dong Shen's heart.

Blood gushed out.

Dong Shen held the spear with both hands, his eyes dimmed a little bit.

When he was about to die, a cold voice seemed to sound in his ear:

"Why?"

"Why are you the master and we are the servants?"

"Why do you order us to die?"

"I don't agree!"

　Sorry

　　I didn't sleep all night, and the repetitive part has been revised, so I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused.

　　You deserve to be scolded, I accept it.
