Book with Emperor

Chapter 276

Three hours ago, the Yuzhou Army battalion launched a night attack on the White Wing Army. The commander of the White Wing Army Hong Xianfei expected that the Yuzhou Army would not dare to spend any more, and had been waiting for this moment, and immediately led his troops to meet the enemy.

While the two sides were fighting, a small team of 20 people rode lightly on fast horses and took advantage of the night to quietly skim over the edge of the battlefield and head towards Langya City.

The capital of Langya in the night is like a dormant giant beast. This 20-member team, all black and black and covered with cloth scarves, abandoned their horses and walked a mile away from the city, and then sneaked outside the gate on the east side of Langya city. With a dagger in his mouth, he quietly climbed to the city wall with a flying hook rope.

"laugh!"

The sound of blood splattering after the flesh was cut was like the sound of flying insects in this vast city of night. A watchman on the tower seemed to hear something, and when he looked back subconsciously, his mouth and nose were covered , As soon as the neck was cold, rusty blood gushed out from the cut throat and mouth.

Yue Wentian threw away the corpse, raised his hand to shake off the blood on the blade, his pair of deep black eyes exposed outside the scarf were like the biting cold mist in the cold night.

He lowered his eyes and looked down from the city tower, the Xuanwu Street under his feet was empty, and further ahead was the imperial palace shrouded in the stars and night.

Behind him, Zhong Lue and others quickly dealt with the remaining guards, and walked behind him with a dagger that was dripping with blood.

"It went very well." Zhong's slightly panting voice was dignified.

"Because the real fight begins."

The knife carried by Yue Wentian's side slowly pointed towards the empty street under his feet, and scarlet blood drops slipped from the tip of the knife, and fell from the city tower to the dust on the ground.

Suddenly, a gleam of fire appeared in the dark and dead street, and then it burned like a prairie fire.Hundreds of Habayashi guards in black armor and masks poured out from the dark alleys on both sides, and the murderous flames instantly illuminated most of the east of the city.

A figure slowly walked out from the middle of Habayashi, it was Gong Yue.

This was the first time Yue Wentian saw Gong Yue after nearly two years, and it was also the first time he saw Gong Yue wearing black.They were one high and one low, and they looked at each other from a distance of a city wall.

This Qin Tianjian No.50, who has played with Daxi for 1 years, has lost the gentleness and sloppyness of Fuyun Mountain at this moment, his peach eyes are slightly closed, and his thin and handsome face is full of the indifference and sternness that belongs only to those in power.

"The Flame Army will take one day and one night at the fastest to arrive. This night attack should have been after midnight tomorrow night."

His swollen eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked very indifferent under the light of the fire and the moonlight, "You know that I will set up a trap, but you still bring people to break in, is it because you want to die with my apprentice?"

Yue Wentian said slowly, "The hour of Hai has not yet arrived, how do you know that I died, not you?"

Gong Yue met his quiet and cold eyes, and seemed to sigh, "You and your father are really more and more alike...the same as undomesticated."

"I often tell Guanyue that there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world, and people can only give up one. People who are too greedy will have nothing." Gong Yue looked up at the black-clothed boy on the tower, his eyes were like flowing water Youtanshui said with a smile and a sarcasm, "I only gave you two choices, the victory of this war or the fate of Guanyue, you chose the former—"

Before he could finish his words, the young man on the city wall suddenly jumped to the ground, followed by more than a dozen shadows following behind him.

"I really only have two options."

Yue Wentian threw the dagger, drew a short knife from the back of his waist and held it in front of his eyes, the silver blade shone brightly even in the dark night.

Gong Yue's long eyes narrowed slightly, "The golden knife shines."

"Either find her, or..." Yue Wentian's voice was slightly hoarse, slow and deep, "I will die with her in this imperial city!"

As the words fell to the ground, Yue Wentian had already raised his sword and slashed at him. The guards on both sides of the feather forest all tried to stop him, but they were cut off by Shuo Jin Dao directly, and the next moment his head fell to the ground.

The mask fell to the ground, blood splashed between the eyebrows, and then slid down the tall bridge of the nose.Habayashi almost had no time to react, he stepped on the cracked mask under his feet, and stabbed Gong Yue who was three steps away, and Habayashi immediately blocked him with a horizontal sword.

"Dang--"

With just one move, the silver short knife pierced through three blades and stabbed straight to the center of Gongyue's eyebrows.

Several Habayashi guards snorted, exerted force instantly, and stopped the dagger.

The blade stopped suddenly, barely stopping at an inch between Gong Yue's eyebrows.

Yue Wentian's chest heaved violently, his body was full of murderous aura, blood stains on his eyebrows slid down the bridge of his nose, and his gaze was determined, "I'm not Ning Zhao, and she——will never be you!"

The smile in Gong Yue's eyes disappeared suddenly, and then he suddenly coughed violently, a trace of blood appeared on his pale face, and his whole body trembled. "Cough cough cough!"

It took a while for the coughing to stop. He put down the hand covering his lips, raised his head to meet Yue Wentian's gaze, and said slowly, "She is in the Jiyun Palace, but you may die to see her."

He took one last look at the young man in the flames, then turned around and disappeared into the night.

Behind him, the fight had just begun.

When Cen Wu got the news, it was already a quarter of a hour, she kicked Cheng Jingyu to the ground, and then she was going to take the Lie Yanjun who had rushed for hundreds of miles to the imperial city for support.

Cheng Jingyu hurriedly pulled her back, and said reluctantly, "It's gone! Someone has gone! The young master has made arrangements!"

At the same time, Hong Xianfei, who originally planned to fight to the death with the Yuzhou Army, finally realized something was wrong after being attacked and retreated by the Yuzhou Army several times.

This time the opponent is still feinting, but the real purpose... is the imperial city behind him!

Hong Xianfei's back was covered in cold sweat, he wanted to withdraw his troops to protect the imperial city, but it was too late, the Lie Yan Army and the Sheyu reinforcements not far from the left and right had arrived ahead of schedule.

He closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, but the commander of the Yuzhou Army who had feigned an attack in front finally did not retreat this time, but ran directly to the imperial city behind them in front of them.

The night was dark, and the faint black clouds that covered the moonlight were blown away by the wind, and a ray of moonlight fell on the young commander of the Yuzhou Army.

Hong Xianfei recognized that familiar face. After all, he had hugged this kid when he was a soldier under the old Hou Ye. He didn't expect that 19 years had passed, he was old, and the old man was dead and scattered. , even the imperial city to be guarded behind him will have a different surname.

At the second quarter of Haishi, Han Zhengwei led his troops to break through the gate of Langya City. What appeared in front of them was a mess of corpses and blood all over the ground. The blood and corpses stretched along Xuanwu Street all the way to the direction of the palace, and there were messy bloody footprints in the middle. , Looking around is full of dazzling red.

Han Zhengwei didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately led his troops towards the palace.

In the end, they found Zhong Lue and the three Anbu in an alley outside the palace. More than a dozen Habayashi guards were besieging and killing them, but Yue Wentian was not inside.

Uneasiness and fear surged in Han Zhengwei's heart, and he immediately led his men to rescue the four people, grabbed Zhong Lue and asked, "Where's Yue Wentian?!"

Zhong Lue couldn't care less about the blood on his face, and gasped for breath, "Young Master...Young Master has gone to Send Cloud Palace...Miss Mingyue is here..."

Han Zhengwei didn't have the patience to listen to the following words. He left most of the soldiers behind, and only took four of them with him, and hurriedly rode through the Zhengyang Gate to the Taiqing Hall.

There were no obstacles along the way, except for a few lines of bloody footprints, there were no traces of fighting, and it was unusually calm, except for the emptiness.

The maids who came and went in the past disappeared at this moment, and the whole palace seemed to be a dead city.

The courtyard outside Jiyun Temple was quiet, only a row of bloody footprints on the ground could tell that someone was inside.

Han Zhengwei walked into the yard step by step along the row of footprints, and saw the door open from a distance. Yue Wentian was standing inside the door in a black suit with his back facing him. A strong smell of blood permeated the room.

When he got closer, he realized that Yue Wentian's black clothes had already been soaked in blood, there was a blood hole pierced by the blade on his arm and shoulders, blood was still dripping from his trembling fingertips.

Han Zhengwei suffocated for breath, and immediately stepped forward, "Yue Wentian—"

He couldn't say what he said later, because he saw two things on the table in front of Yue Wentian.

A blood-stained women's gown, the scarlet blood spread from the heart to the whole body, from deep to shallow, like a large hibiscus pattern dyed with blood, shocking.

He recognized that coat, it was the one Qin Guanyue wore that he saw in the prefect's mansion in Yicheng that day, and it was the same as before, it was made of comfortable brocade material and plain and sparse cloud patterns, but this coat at this moment Can no longer see the original appearance.

The other thing is a delicate copper ring, glowing with faint green, it is not precious, and it has no craftsmanship, except for the two characters Qin and Yue engraved on the wall of the inner ring.

Yue Wentian reached out to pick up the ring, his eyes were fixed on the bloody clothes blankly.

"She said that in her hometown, it has a special meaning for two people to exchange rings and wear them on the ring finger." She spoke slowly, her voice hoarse as if swallowing a blade, "but I didn't even have time to ask."

Han Zhengwei's chest was suffocated, and it was difficult to breathe.

In this familiar room, only a slight "tick" sound could be heard, which was the sound of Yue Wentian's blood dripping from the soaked clothes.

Han Zhengwei opened his mouth, but felt that his throat was blocked.

Yue Wentian suddenly said, "Your father and the rest of the Han family are not dead, Xie Heng protected them very well."

Han Zhengwei's mind exploded with a "boom".

In an instant, countless emotions rushed into his heart, shock, shame, remorse, fear, anger, and finally turned into a fire, burning his eyes red.

"But my grandfather is dead, my sister is dead...she's even just pregnant." He gritted his teeth in a trembling voice and said, "You and Ning Zhao are at odds, Qin Guanyue and the Ning family are at odds, the Han family becomes The bargaining chip you are fighting for, if my father hadn't handed over the tiger talisman, Qin Guanyue would never have rescued me from the prison of the Ministry of Justice!"

"So you released the news that she was in Yicheng, and deliberately let Ning Zhao's people take her away from the prefect's mansion."

"Yes! I did it." He stared at Yue Wentian's back, gritted his teeth and said, "I just want her to die! Even if you want to kill me at this moment to avenge her!"

"..."

Yue Wentian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, only to feel that the pain all over his body was as light as a feather, but it was deeply rooted into his flesh and blood, and penetrated all the way to his internal organs, tearing his whole body from the inside. They were all torn apart, like being gouged into countless parts by a sharp knife.

The pain he had never felt before, so painful that he wished he could die now and never wake up again.

"So what if I kill you?"

"There is no such person as Qin Guanyue in the world anymore."

Han Zhengwei was stunned there.

puff-

Yue Wentian in front of him finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground suddenly.
