Chapter 406 Leave no grass
The full moon was in the sky, and the slight night wind rolled the king's flag and torches on the high wall.

Hundreds of infantry in silver heavy armor lined up outside the high wall with spears in hand, with repelling horses in front and crossbowmen behind.

Meanwhile, the martial arts recruited by the Baixiao camp stood guard on the top of the wall, armed with various weapons, looking at a dark alley in the west camp room.

Step, step, step...

The sound of footsteps came from the dark alley, from far to near, unhurried, and it didn't sound very heavy, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone inside and outside the high wall, and it sounded like a heavy hammer hitting the chest and abdomen.

"Where is the sacred place?"

"come out!"

Although most of the elites of the Baixiao camp had been lost, the experts in the camp were still a little bit. Just seeing the sound of the mountain rain coming, they knew that a big dragon was coming from the alley.

And the heroes of the rivers and lakes hiding in the surrounding area, originally wanting to wait for an early bird, took advantage of the chaos to break into the prison to steal the snow and lake flowers. After discovering the abnormal movement outside the west wall, they all fell silent and paid attention to the depths of the alley.

tread, tread...

Soon, three silhouettes appeared in the dark alley.

Looking at the figure from the back, there are two women, and the figure in the front is quite tall, with a bamboo hat on his head, a nine-foot spear on his shoulder, and a saber hanging from his waist.

"Om..."

"Is it Nightmare?"

"It's over..."

……

Although only the silhouette was seen, Ye Jingtang was nearby recently, and seeing this weapon and the aura of one man overwhelming half of the city was enough to make all the warriors inside and outside the high walls realize who was coming.

Those who can join the Baixiao camp as disciples are more or less considered experts in the world. Even if there is a military leader, relying on the impregnable city defense and the large number of people, they are not unsure of touching it.

But Ye Jingtang is different. It can kill nearly ten military chiefs from the north and the south, and its strength has already jumped out of the secular arena. It can defeat Chengtianmen in Yun'an City. The prison wall is probably like paper to him.

Hundreds of warriors inside and outside the west wall, after seeing the outline clearly, fear appeared in their eyes; and the heavy infantry outside the wall, because of the strict military order, did not appear chaotic, but quickly cocked their guns and aimed at them. A black shadow a hundred paces away.

Hey~
Just when everyone was preparing for battle as if facing a formidable enemy, there was a soft sound of gold and stone colliding at the entrance of the alley.

Hundreds of heavy infantry looked up, only to see that the bamboo hat man in the front had no words, just holding a gun with one hand, and pointed to the floor tiles behind him, and then:

boom--

There was a muffled thunder outside the deadly high wall!
The nine-foot spear shot forward with the momentum of thunder, and the blue bricks at the entrance of the alley were instantly torn apart. The aftermath rushed out a long groove on the loess ground. The sandstorm of the earth was crushing in front of him with overwhelming momentum.

boom -

The instant the energy pressed against the body, the rejecting horses in front of the formation were overturned, and the pawns lined up behind also fell to the ground under the impact of energy, and the full-stringed feather arrows turned into flowing arrows and shot into the night sky.

咻咻~
Ding dong box lang...

……

But in an instant, the originally neat queue turned into a swaying state in the middle, and the warriors at the top of the wall, who were tense, quickly retreated a few steps under the strong wind.

stomping on...

After one shot, the high wall suddenly fell into chaos.

Ye Jingtang didn't make up any more swords, and pointed the Dragon Spear obliquely at the ground, leading Benben and Qinghe towards the high wall, and said loudly:

"There must be a measure in goodness, and there must be a measure in killing. Although the two armies should not be soft before the battle, everyone has parents, wives and children. I still give you a chance to surrender.

"This shot is just a warning. If you know that you are invincible, retreat on your own, and you will not be hurt at all. If you know that you are fighting for the country with a pebble, I will give you a happy ending."

The clear and clear voice spread into the night sky, and it was originally trapped inside and outside the noisy high walls, but quickly fell silent again.

The people in the Baixiao camp on the high wall are, after all, people from the rivers and lakes who work their lives for money, and they don't have the tyrannical strength of the high-level miscellaneous fish like the three commanders.

Seeing Ye Jingtang casually slashing at them with a shot, they were already terrified. Seeing that Lord Hades gave them a chance to surrender, they quickly backed away towards the city walls on both sides without saying a word.

As for the heavily armored infantry standing in front of the city wall, their martial arts may not be as high as those of the Jianghu warriors, but the spear formation was originally used to deal with the cavalry charge. Said to be as firm as a rock, even though he knew he couldn't stand it and no one gave orders, he quickly resumed his formation and defended it.

But just when Ye Jingtang raised his spear again, there was another footstep on the wall.

Tread...  

Ye Jingtang raised his eyes and saw a figure appearing behind the wall on the gate.

The figure was estimated to be in his fifties, with broad shoulders and a broad back, dressed in silver armor, holding two copper hammers, and with a full beard, he looked like a general.

"Is it Chen Yanying?"

"He actually came out..."

……

As the figure appeared, there were several whispers among the buildings.

Ye Jingtang heard the discussion and felt that this should be someone, so he tilted his head slightly and asked Hehe next to him:
"Who is this?"

Fan Qinghe also covered his face with a black scarf, frowned and said:
"In the past, the general of Beiliang, when the army of Beiliang crossed Tianlang Lake, he was the first to fight as the vanguard. He was extremely brave and his martial arts skills were not low..."

"Oh."

On the wall, Chen Yanying held two copper hammers, looked at the black-robed gunman below, and said in a deep voice:
"The Northwest Royal Court is gone. Since you can survive, you should just stay in the Southern Dynasty and enjoy the blessings. Why do you want to come back?"

"...?"

Ye Jingtang felt that the other party's tone was the same as saying why he came back to die, and to be honest, he really didn't understand it.He raised his hand and ticked:
"Come down and talk."

Chen Yanying's eyes were like eagles, and he looked at Ye Jingtang, seemingly condescending and unscrupulous, but he was actually thinking about it in his heart.

He knew that Ye Jingtang was very powerful, but he was able to take a few shots from Tianlang King and survived. He devoted himself to martial arts for 20 years, but now he is no longer what he used to be, and he still has 2000 people under his command.

As the saying goes, "will coax a nest", as the main general, if he shows timidity at this time, this prison will not have to guard, and the door can be opened directly for people to move.

And if he really did this, even if he didn't die afterwards, it would be passive resistance and serious dereliction of duty.

Don't talk about the reinstatement of the official, King Zuo Xian still has to kill him, after all, if he doesn't kill him, there is no way to make a warning to others. In the future, when soldiers and horses meet Ye Jingtang, they will all disperse in a hurry.

And if he doesn't give in, and uses his martial arts to take the lead, and the soldiers and horses under his command follow, there is always a chance of winning.

Even if he didn't keep it, the news that he was not afraid of powerful enemies and fearless of death was sent back to Yanjing, and the reinstatement of the official would be a sure thing.

As for dying here, Chen Yanying didn't think about it. After all, how could anyone not die while marching and fighting?

Death on the battlefield can be exchanged for a wife and son, and this retreat is a fugitive, with honor and life lost. For a general who is charging into the battle, there is no need to consider how to choose.

For this reason, after a moment of silence, Chen Yanying's eyes gradually showed bravery, and he snorted coldly: "Little Huangkou, do you really think I am a leader?" After saying that, he stomped on the ground with both feet.

Bang!
The high wall trembled slightly, and Chen Yanying, who was wearing silver armor, soared into the sky, holding two copper hammers, and fell straight to the front of the pawns.

Although he is a member of the army, Chen Yanying's martial arts skills are indeed not low, especially in terms of momentum, he has a feeling of "moving like thunder". The fierce man with a beard fell down in the air, and he might have been scared to death on the spot.

The pawns lined up neatly saw the general personally pressing the formation, and the fear in their hearts disappeared a bit. They clenched their spears tightly and wanted to support General Chen, but...

Bang!
While everyone inside and outside the high wall was watching, Chen Yan jumped down from the high wall like a jumping tiger. Before his feet touched the ground, there was a muffled sound outside the high wall.

Everyone didn't see clearly how Yeda Hades kicked out, they only saw a black light rushing out with the force of thunder, and landed directly on the belly of Chen Yanying's armor.

click -

The tiger's head and belly did not have any defensive effect, and instantly turned into broken iron, and Chen Yanying himself became a bowed shrimp, shooting out like an arrow from the string, piercing through the gate of the prison.

boom -

clap la la...

There was a sound of cracking bricks, stones and wood inside the prison, and I don't know how many walls, doors and windows were smashed.

"..."

The audience was suddenly dead silent, and even the sky heard a faint voice:

"grumble?"

Everyone inside and outside the high wall, together with the pawns in formation, looked back at the hole in the gate in a daze, apparently completely stunned.

Dongfang Liren, who was following behind, hid behind Ye Jingtang as if facing a formidable enemy just now because of his martial arts skills, but when he found that the other party was gone just like that, his expression was dumbfounded, and he said in a low voice:
"That's it?"

Ye Jingtang also didn't know why this fierce general of Beiliang was so bold. After flying with his kick, he raised his gun and walked forward:
"Give Way."

"..."

All the leading generals in the lineup disappeared, so what can the rest of the pawns say?As if they were seeing gods and Buddhas, they quickly retreated to both sides and let the gate of the prison open.

And the heroes of the rivers and lakes who were lurking outside saw Ye Dayan open the door, and at this time they were also ready to move, wanting to drink some soup.

But Ye Jingtang turned his head and glanced over, and instantly turned into dead silence, and lay down on the spot honestly...
-
At the same time, in the depths of the prison.

In the room where the live Xuehu flowers were placed, Lu Zhu wrapped the flower branches with brocade cloth and placed them under the young lady's wheelchair.

Hua Junchen, on the other hand, held his sword and watched at the door, waiting for Chen Yanying to come back.

Hearing the thunderous explosion outside, followed by the unnatural silence, Hua Junchen knew that a world-shattering dragon was coming, and he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so he wanted to push the wheelchair and run quickly.

But what the father and daughter didn't expect was that General Chen, who had just boasted to go and return, really came back in the blink of an eye.

boom--

clap la la...

Hua Junchen pushed the wheelchair, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the roof ridge in front of him burst instantly, and a figure as strong as a bull in armor fell from above and fell into the duty room in front, smashing the tables, chairs and benches. There was a muffled cough:
"Cough cough..."

Hua Qingzhi is a smart person. Seeing this scene, she knew that the three of them were in a terrible situation, and they were likely to be affected by Chi Yu, so she hurriedly urged:

"Father, run quickly."

Hua Junchen was not stupid, he wanted to run away where he needed his daughter's reminder, but Chen Yanying's muffled groan came from the room:

"Cough... Mr. Hua, save me..."

"..."

Although Hua Junchen was born in an aristocratic family, he has been a martial artist since he was a child. He just made it easier for him to do so. At this time, his life is desperate for help. It is obviously immoral for him to leave without looking back.

Hua Junchen stopped abruptly, gritted his teeth secretly, and waved his hands to let Luzhu push the lady out quickly, while he rushed into the room quickly, trying to get her back and ran away.

But it's a pity that the thief came much sooner than he thought.

Holding his saber, Hua Junchen just kicked open the door of the classroom. When he saw Chen Yanying lying on the ground coughing, he heard a few soft sounds of "Shushasha—" and several figures landed on the other side of the classroom. On one side of the open space.

Hua Junchen's footsteps froze suddenly, and the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and said in a deep voice:

"I'll hold the thief and send the lady out quickly!"

"father?!"

Hua Qingzhi was naturally anxious when she saw this scene, and wanted to stop her, but was pushed into the aisle by Luzhu.

And the other side of the house.

Ye Jingtang entered the prison unimpeded. He wanted to grab the head guard here and ask about the situation of Xuehuhua, but when he landed, he heard the voices of Hua Qingzhi's father and daughter, and he was naturally taken aback.

Dongfang Liren fell behind, and when he heard the movement on the other side, his eyes were full of bewilderment:

"Why is she here?"

"I'm probably looking for medicine."

Ye Jingtang came to rob, bumping into acquaintances would inevitably be awkward, so he suppressed his voice hoarsely and said:
"The work in the Jianghu has nothing to do with idlers retreating, otherwise they will be killed."

Ye Jingtang suppressed his voice on purpose, ordinary people couldn't hear the old and the young at all.

But it's a pity that even if he turns into ashes, Hua Qingzhi can recognize him.

Hearing the sound, Hua Qingzhi, who was being pushed to run in the aisle, flashed a relieved surprise in his eyes:

"Young Master Ye?"

"...?"

Ye Jingtang didn't expect Hua Qingzhi to recognize this, so he didn't respond immediately, but said:

"I counted three, one, two..."

In the room, Hua Junchen's face turned pale when he heard that Ye Yan Wang was coming, and he was delighted to find that his daughter looked familiar.

But at this time, Hua Junchen didn't dare to say anything. When he found out that the other party let his daughter go, he immediately turned his head and ran away. He also gave Chen Yanying a helpless look, and said sadly:
"General Chen is going well, Hua can't do anything, and he will definitely ask the general to posthumously afterward..."

"Cough cough..."

Chen Yanying saw Ye Jingtang approaching in an instant, and also understood that Hua Junchen could not be saved, so he didn't count on it anymore. He gritted his teeth and stood up from the room.

After Ye Jingtang heard the sound of footsteps going away quickly, he flew across the classroom and came to the front.

"Huh, huh..."

Blood was seeping from the corner of Chen Yanying's mouth, and he was clutching his belly cut by a piece of armor. When he saw the gunman in black robe appearing in front of the door, his eyes were blood red, and he even yelled a few bold words.

But in his 50s, he has already passed the age of full-bloodedness, and there are no outsiders around.

For this reason, after staring at Ye Jingtang for a few times, Chen Yanying was finally discouraged, and knelt on the ground with a "plop—"
"Wait a minute, let Chen finish speaking..."

Ye Jingtang saw that the opponent was in such a precarious situation, he thought he was going to say, "If you want to kill me, I will be a good man again in 20 years." Hearing this, he felt quite boring, so he put his spear on his shoulder:
"Go ahead."

Fan Qinghe was born not long ago when the Northwest Royal Court was destroyed, and he didn't know the situation back then, but the name of the Beiliang warrior Chen Yanying was still heard from his parents. Seeing the Beiliang warrior who was the leader of the vanguard in the past, he fell into this picture She couldn't help frowning:

"Chen Yanying, you made great military exploits back then, how did you end up running to the prison to guard the gate?"

Chen Yanying knelt on the ground, panting heavily:
"In the battle by Tianlang Lake 20 years ago, I was ordered by the State Teacher to follow Zuo Xianwang to pursue the remnants of the royal court.

"King Tianlang failed to get rid of the pursuers, and was eventually trapped in the prairie fire. He could only let the best soldiers in the clan escort the clansmen to break through the encirclement, while the rest blocked the pursuers.

"At that time, King Zuoxian was restraining King Tianlang, and I was ordered to go around the Liaoyuan and pursue the remnants. My horse was fast, and I was the only one left with a hundred people. I finally caught up with the carriage on the snowy field. There was only a baby and a baby in the carriage. Hit the arrow old servant."

Ye Jingtang heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he approached a little:
"and then?"

"I originally wanted to bring the baby back to my life, but at that time I had just given birth to a son, and knowing that the baby would be executed if I took it back, I hesitated.

"It so happened that a ranger came over on horseback at that time. I was tired and out of horses. I was afraid of encountering a strong enemy, so I ran away. I didn't know what to think, so I didn't get in the car and took the baby away."

When Chen Yanying said this, he looked at the saber at Ye Jingtang's waist:

"The ranger seems to be holding this knife. I saw the ranger leaving with the baby in his arms, and I realized that I made a big mistake and regretted it. However, I was too tired to catch up, so I had to take the carriage back to the barracks and tell Tianlang Wang's son was snatched away by a ranger.

"The national teacher was afraid of causing future troubles and harming Beiliang in the future. He was furious because of this and wanted to chop off my head. Fortunately, I fought bravely in the past and rescued King Zuoxian. I was saved, but I was demoted and sent to this west frontier.

"The fault of this matter is indeed my fault. I should be sent to the frontier. Now that I am old, I have never lost anything in half my life without fear of death. I just want to live a few more years.

"If I hadn't been confused for a while back then, that carriage would never have run to the deserted snow field, and you would never have been rescued by the Ranger..."

Ye Jingtang heard these words, nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while and asked:

"The ranger at that time, did he know my identity?"

"The flag of King Tianlang is hung on the carriage, and anyone who walks in the western borders can't possibly not know him. I just didn't expect that an ordinary ranger could really raise King Tianlang again... Now that I think about it, the national teacher was That's right, it did cause a catastrophe to the court..."

After all, Chen Yanying is a member of the army. At this moment, he realized how big a mistake he made back then, and his eyes showed complexity again.

Dongfang Liren stood beside him with his hands behind his back. Hearing these old events, he secretly shook his head, thought for a while and said:

"If Beiliang can be destroyed in the future, he will be regarded as the number one hero of the Wei Dynasty. It is really inappropriate to kill him. Let's go."

Ye Jingtang understands that his adoptive father specially gave him the surname "Ye" back then, not the loud voice in the middle of the night, making the noisy people unable to sleep, so he called him "Ye Jingtang" .

He was silent for a while, raised his hand and stabbed Chen Yanying under the ribs, nailing him directly to the wall behind:

"You still have healthy limbs after seeing me, and you can't please. This shot will let you deal with it afterwards."

Chen Yanying snorted, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and passed out with the shock of the spear.

chah~
thump--

Ye Jingtang pulled out the Dragon Singing Spear, glanced at Chen Yanying, then turned around and went outside the room:
"Pack your things quickly and leave early."

Fan Qinghe didn't say much at the moment, took several folded cloth bags from the back of the queen's waist, unfolded them one by one, and came to the prison cell.

Prisoners in the cells have been pardoned, and now there are shelves for raising silkworms. Layers of bamboo plaques are placed on the shelves, and inside are white petals that are drying in the shade.

Ye Jingtang brought two girls masked in black scarves, who looked like horse bandits who robbed the bank. Qing He was responsible for taking out the bamboo plaque, Benben opened the pocket, and Ye Jingtang took the bamboo plaque and put the snow lake flower Falling in, the movement is quite quick.

Dongfang Liren was carrying a big bag, looked at the several full cells, and said in surprise:
"So many snow lake flowers?"

Fan Qinghe was also quite surprised, and responded between moving back and forth:
"It is estimated that there has been peace in western Xinjiang for the past 20 years. There has been no war, and the weather has been smooth and the harvest has been good. These dried in the shade probably weigh about ten catties, which is equivalent to the total output during the war..."

Dongfang Liren was a prince, and when he heard more than ten catties of snow lake flowers, he still thought it was an astronomical figure. He thought for a while and said:
"King Zuo Xian won't really lose his mind and run out to suppress the bandits, right?"

Ye Jingtang poured it into his pocket carefully, afraid of losing even a single petal, seeing that Benben lost his focus while speaking and didn't support the pocket properly, he raised his hand on his buttocks:
"There are a lot of empty shelves in the cell, and most of them must have been taken away. Don't be distracted, pack it quickly..."

Dongfang Liren was beaten, and his eyes were obviously a little annoyed, but he was already very satisfied to participate in the robbery in the rivers and lakes, so he didn't talk back, and swept across the prison cells in a sloppy manner.

The snow lake flowers that have not been completely dried in the shade take up a lot of space, and they dare not compact them for fear of being stewed.

If there are some snow lake flowers left, and the ruthless people from the north and south rivers and lakes outside break in, it will inevitably be a scene of you fighting for me and blood flowing into rivers.

For this reason, Ye Jingtang found that there were still flowering branches in the room, so he rolled them up with cloth and took them away together. Even seven or eight flower pots were tied up with ropes and hung with spears. Before leaving, he carefully checked the ground to see if they had fallen. Falling petals, lest people in the rivers and lakes have conflicts and hurt their lives.

Dongfang Liren didn't want to leave a hair on Beiliang, but he was still a little shocked when he saw Ye Jingtang wishing he could even turn over the floor tiles and search them clean, he pulled Ye Jingtang's sleeve and said:
"Let's go, let's go..."

Fan Qinghe held two big bags and urged:

"Yeah, it will be troublesome if you cover it for too long and let it spoil. Hurry up and find a place to dry it out of the city."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang reluctantly gave up, took two girls and a lot of things, jumped out of the high wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers gathered outside the prison had already been suppressed by Ye Jingtang, knowing that there was a robbery inside, they didn't dare to take half a step rashly.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, someone had the courage to go in to check the situation, and then the prison was noisy again:
"Who the hell said there are snow lake flowers in the prison? Not even a single leaf..."

"It is estimated that the Zuo Xianwang made a sudden attack and brought all the snow lake flowers out of the city. Yeda Yama must have chased after him. Hurry up..."

"..."
