Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 462 Poisoning in the City and Assassination Outside the City
When Ye Chen and his party appeared in the Yizhou area, it was not difficult to see their escape route. They wanted to go all the way to the southeast, run out of the Southern Tang region, and finally go to the Wuyue region.

Since Wuyue was annexed by Song State more than two months ago, Southern Tang stationed [-] troops on the Wuyue border to prevent [-] Song troops led by Zhao Zan from invading Wuyue.

Lou Yanming's backup is the [-] Frontier Army. Regarding the order of Ye Chen from the Huaxia Weifu of the Song Dynasty to sneak into the country to cause trouble, and let the [-] Southeast Frontier Army send people to intercept and kill them, they were sent from Jinling City overnight. past.Lou Yanming just used a loud arrow to inform himself to arrange a courier on a fast horse nearby, but he just asked the courier to report to the southeast army in advance before Ye Chen and his party arrived at the border. .It was a second-hand preparation, and the purpose was to prevent last night's order from failing to reach the southeast frontier army.

In fact, the time was pushed forward by four or five hours. In Jinling City, when Lou Yanming got the will from the lord Li Yu and was about to leave the city overnight, a shocking event happened in the city.

In the Southern Tang court, including the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials, there were a total of eleven high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the mansion. More than 3000 people were poisoned overnight.And it was the same kind of poison.

At the same time, the person who released the poison left a sentence in the homes of these ten high-ranking officials-within three hours, let the king withdraw the order to go to the southeast frontier army before they can get the antidote, otherwise they will all die!

No high-ranking official dared to neglect such a vicious means of poisoning. He frantically went to see the lord Li Yu overnight. Li Yu had never heard of such a thing. He was shocked and didn't ask any more questions. After a little hesitation, he Send people to pursue the imperial decree of dispatching troops.But after three hours, the imperial decree did not come back, and the eleven senior officials waiting in the palace were frightened to death on the spot.He ran out of the palace in a hurry, returned home, and used his own power or various connections to mobilize people out of the city to chase after him in the southeast direction.

Let's not talk about the chaotic images in the palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty.The eunuch who went to the southeast frontier army camp to announce the decree was a member of Maitreya Sect, and he was also a master. On the surface, he was Li Yu's servant, but in fact he was Lou Yanming's confidant master.He was the one who knew the inside story of the siege and killing of Ye Chen, so he naturally knew the importance of this matter to Lou Yanming, so he ignored the people who came to recover the imperial edict, and even secretly mobilized the staff of the Maitreya Sect to kill the future eunuch quietly. , and then he continued to leave the city with his will and hurried to the southeast.

However, just as they left Jinling City and passed by a small town ten miles southeast of the city, they were assassinated.

On the main street of the small town, a horse rolled over the long street with a scream.A figure rolled down to the ground, and another figure flew down, holding a long sword and moving forward, but the human body that rolled to the ground was completely out of shape by the huge impact force, its bones were broken, and it was crushed from a distance. Staying on the road, the thick blood spread to the surroundings.

The rest of the dozen or so horses were still running, but the horses were frightened. The horse at the rear was cut off half of its body, and the horse next to it was also affected. It fell on the side of the road, pushed forward, rumbled overthrowing all kinds of small stalls, wooden frames and residual garbage that the hawkers used to do business in the daytime, leaving behind nearly a hundred steps on the long street. a mess.

All kinds of wooden frames and debris on the street, traces of blood dragged on the ground, garbage such as vegetable leaves, dead galloping horses, internal organs, and slightly or seriously injured people trying to get up from the ground.

The wind blew over from the other side of the long street, and the woman in black hung her sword lightly, walking at a leisurely pace, her figure flickered, but she had already caught up with the horse team and stood in front of everyone.Night Breeze stroked the sleeves of her clothes, and her figure was as graceful and thin as an ordinary woman's. She could not see the strength that she almost killed two horses and the horse master with one blow just now.At this time, she coldly watched the eunuch passing the decree and a group of dozens of people rushing forward on horseback, her eyes were indifferent and cold, and for a moment, she flicked the blade of the sword lightly with her fingers, and the sword groaned and trembled slightly.

Under the darkness of night, amidst the roar, the eunuch Chuanzhi led a dozen guards on horseback and charged over with swords. The blades of the swords danced like the sound of cloth being torn apart, and streaks of blood flew up in the air.The woman just walked over.

"court death"

On the long street, the eunuch who delivered the order screamed loudly, and then, with the sound of violent gold and iron clashing, sparks began to scatter on the street

The wind of knives whistled, and the sound of metal and iron clashing was like rain hitting banana leaves, resounding through the long street, dense and chaotic.This night, disasters occurred around the only long street in this small town. The doors and windows of some shops had been smashed open by the bodies that flew flying, and some rooms were inhabited. Hold on tight inside.

In the long street, the chasing and fighting of figures is like a chaotic dance. The clash of gold and iron pulls out amazing sparks in the air, sometimes with a bang, a body is thrown into the debris pile on the street, unable to move, blood Spotted, flowing into pieces, several corpses have already been displayed on the road, and the eunuch holding a knife looks extremely brave, shouting hysterically, he doesn't look like an eunuch at all.He waved the light of the sword like a net, showing extremely high attainments in sword skills, and tried hard to survive under the huge pressure oncoming.

Although he is a eunuch, his martial arts in Maitreya Sect is second only to Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun, even higher than the Four King Kong. The ordinary first-class masters in the world are better than others, otherwise Lou Yanming would not have placed him in such an important position beside Li Yu.In fact, this decree was too important tonight, so he was sent out in person.

However, at this time, the woman's swordsmanship and body skills are too powerful, and her internal energy is extremely deep, she is quick and fierce, like a summer wind and thunderstorm, rushing towards her face.He tried his best to resist and was still clumsy, and the sparks in front of his eyes were speckled and chaotic.From time to time, there would be an extremely powerful move in that sword technique, like a whistling wind and thunder, forcibly smashing the long knife he had thrown out with all his strength.

And the opponent's attack is not just the erratic, mysterious and dazzling swordsmanship. Sometimes the long knife is smashed open, and the woman's left palm has been pushed down from the gap of the knife light, smashing his face. , stabbed his eyes or plucked at his Adam's apple suddenly.
