Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 499 Who Is The Oriole
Hu Sanguang next to Ye Chen raised his right hand, and a loud arrow rushed into the sky. More than ten passers-by near the east gate of Qingzhou City, four hawkers, seven beggars, and a group of passing businessmen approached the east gate without a trace. .There are only 50 of them in total, but they are the [-] killers who are best at killing people in Huaxia Weifu Assassination Department.Their task is to control the east gate as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time when needed, and to take Ye Chen out of the city.They are currently only at the predetermined location, and the real action is to wait for the second arrow to sound.Of course, it is possible that the second arrow never sounded.

At the same time, near the main street where Ye Chen and his party are located, a total of two thousand elites from the Huaxia Weifu who entered the city with various identities these days quickly approached the main street where Ye Chen and his party were located.

The prefect of Qingzhou in front of Ye Chen heard the movement, turned his head suddenly, and saw the [-] heavy cavalry charging towards this side, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Zhou Chengju! What do you want to do? Do you want to kill the imperial envoy?" My lord, want to rebel?"

The magistrate of Gyeongju has a good mental quality. He can still maintain such an aura at this time.However, even though his voice was full of energy and momentum, it did not affect the five hundred heavy cavalry at all, and they were still charging.

Five hundred heavy cavalry rushed out of Ye Chen's straight road like a stream of iron. In a short period of time, the prefect of Gyeongju showed a strong control over the more than 1000 soldiers and arresters he brought with him, as well as an ability to judge the situation, as well as an amazing courage.

He gave an extremely stern order, and then quickly formed a battle supervision team with several powerful guards around him. Although the thousand soldiers and arresters were full of fear, they still pulled out their weapons and put down the army formation to fight. Ready to face the heavy cavalry.It's just that as the speed of the five hundred heavy cavalry gradually increased, they gradually began to commotion, and there were bursts of exclamations.

The five hundred heavy cavalry ignored the exclamation of the more than 1000 soldiers and arresters, maintained the most perfect speed, and continued to charge up the long street with a terrifying aura, suffocating all creatures in their path.

If there were no accidents, it is conceivable that the more than 1000 soldiers and arresters would be crushed to the point of collapse, some people would die, and then flee in all directions.Even Ye Chen and his party, if they don't have a backup, they can only wait to die in the face of the charge of the five hundred heavy cavalry, and none of them including Ye Chen can survive.

At this time, the prefect of Gyeongju knelt down to dissuade Ye Chen from quickly withdrawing from the houses on both sides, but Ye Chen was indifferent, there was no need to try, the route Ye Chen could escape from the houses on both sides must hide a bigger murderous intent prepared by the holy hall, Such as explosives, such as three white crows, such as covering with thousand arrows, etc., the role of these five hundred heavy cavalry may be to force Ye Chen to flee from both sides or turn around.

Therefore, Ye Chen did not evacuate, but frowned, thinking whether the [-] heavy cavalry were sent by Murong Yanzhao, or arranged by the church.

However, just when more than 1000 soldiers and arresters were about to collapse in the face of [-] heavy cavalry, something unexpected happened.

The archway at the intersection of the street collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, several adjacent commercial buildings collapsed one after another.There was a lot of smoke and dust.Countless bricks and pieces of wood piled up like hills, blocking the way for the heavy cavalry to sprint and the retreat behind them.

Seeing this, more than 1000 government soldiers and police officers were all ecstatic, feeling like they had walked through the gates of hell.Overjoyed, the prefect of Gyeongju turned his head to Ye Chen and said, "My lord must have expected this, so he was prepared."

The prefect of Gyeongju thought that the several tall commercial buildings were arranged by Ye Chen, but it was not arranged by Ye Chen at all.

The heavy cavalry who were sprinting were forced to stop, and then on the chaotic street, more tripping ropes suddenly appeared, entangled the hooves of these heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry fell heavily to the ground, and the heavy armor collided with the hard ground, making a dull sound, and blood flowed from the gray armor.

In the buildings on both sides of the street, many soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army appeared, and they began to shoot arrows at the heavy cavalry.The rain of arrows suddenly went berserk, with the edge of the heavy cavalry's armor shooting into several feathered arrows at the same time.

From time to time, buildings collapsed and stretched across the street, becoming an insurmountable obstacle for heavy cavalry.There were heavy cavalry and their mounts, which were completely buried by the collapsed buildings and could no longer stand up.

This is indeed an ambush, but it is also followed by the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole.

Ye Chen is a cicada, Zhou Chengju, the most hidden heavy cavalry commander in the Northwest Frontier Army, is a praying mantis, and Murong Yanzhao, who has been in charge of the Northwest Frontier Army for many years, is the oriole.

Great Song heavy cavalry, invincible in the world.

Can it still be invincible today?

Zhou Chengju looked at the subordinates who kept falling and were at a loss, and his expression was extremely ugly. At this moment, he naturally knew what happened——Murong Yanzhao had completely betrayed the Holy Church, and he thought that The identity that no one knows has always been within Murong Yanzhao's sight.

However, Zhou Chengju was able to become the commander of the heavy cavalry, and his personal ability and strong will were the top among the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army.At this time, after his complexion changed drastically, he quickly returned to calm. His eyes were as cold as the snow on Tianshan Mountain, sweeping across both sides of the street and behind more and more Northwest Frontier Army and Huaxia Weifu led by Ye Chen on the opposite side. A group of people and more than 1000 government soldiers led by the magistrate finally fixed their eyes on the dazed and fearful subordinates around him. Just as they were about to say something, the Northwest Frontier Army separated one by one from the ruins behind him. Wearing the general's armor and leading two thousand personal guards, he galloped forward and shouted loudly: "Stop! Do you want to rebel?"

Next to Zhou Chengju, a burly man with an iron tower with a height of eight feet suddenly took off his heavy helmet, pointed at Zhou Chengju angrily and shouted: "Zhou Chengju, what's going on, didn't you say that the people from the Huaxia Weifu came to kill the general?" Is it?"

Without waiting for Zhou Chengju to say anything, the big man dismounted suddenly, turned around and knelt down on one knee in the direction of Murong Yanzhao, and said, "The subordinates and others were deceived by Zhou Chengju, and I ask the general to make amends."

Except for Zhou Chengju and the [-] soldiers around him, nearly [-] heavy cavalry who were still alive all got off their horses with a swish, knelt down to Murong Yanzhao, and said in unison: "Your subordinates were deceived by Zhou Chengju. Please make atonement, General."

Murong Yanzhao took a deep look at the big man, and said, "Jiang Shi, the deputy commander of the heavy cavalry! Since you have lost your way, if you don't kill Zhou Chengju and make amends, what are you waiting for?"

The deputy commander of the heavy cavalry, Jiang Shi, and more than 300 cavalrymen waved the simple knife in their hands, stabbed the spears in their hands, and killed Zhou Chengju and more than 50 of his soldiers with the anger of being deceived by the chief.

Murong Yanzhao and Ye Chen stood on both sides, seemingly watching the undisparate fight in front of them coldly, but in fact they were scrutinizing each other carefully, almost wanting to see each other clearly.

Just when Zhou Chengju's soldiers were all killed, and Zhou Chengju was about to be beheaded by Jiang Shi, Ye Chen suddenly said, "I want him to live."

The simple knife in Jiang Shi's hand trembled violently, and finally stopped a finger away from Zhou Chengju's neck, and then he and Zhou Chengju looked at each other, the latter roared, and suddenly took the initiative to hit the knife in Jiang Shi's hand with his neck go.Jiang Shi seemed to be unable to react in time, and it was too late to take the knife back.

However, just at this moment, the sound of piercing the air sounded, and an iron arrow like lightning had already hit the plain knife in Jiang Shi's hand.

With the sound of clicking, Jiang Shi's face changed drastically, and the Bailian sword in his trembling right hand had been broken into three pieces. After Zhou Chengju was taken aback for a moment, he was about to make another move. Yang, a mourning nail had been driven into an acupuncture point on Zhou Chengju's back. Zhou Chengju's body trembled, but he remained motionless.

This figure is Lian Jicheng who sneaked here without knowing when.

Under the watchful eyes of countless eyes, Ye Chen and his party, surrounded by thousands of cavalry, slowly drove towards the General's Mansion.

The main entrance of the General's Mansion is thick and wide, and the long street has already been swept clean. The commander of the Northwest Camp Army and above officers respectfully accompanied him. Ye Chen and Murong Yanzhao rode forward side by side, whispering a few words from time to time.Also riding a horse, the prefect of Gyeongju, who was half a step behind the two, still had a remnant of gratitude on his face. If Ye Chen had an accident in Gyeongju, the blame must be blamed on Murong Yanzhao. If Zhao didn't want to be killed by His Majesty the Emperor or the people of the Huaxia Weifu, there was only one way to go, and that was to completely fall to the temple, and then directly reversed.If that's the case, the prefect of Gyeongju can only die.

Thinking of almost falling into the abyss just now, the prefect of Gyeongju felt extremely lucky, and sometimes interjected by Ye Chen and Murong Yanzhao's side.

Overall, Ye Chen and Murong Yanzhao had a good conversation. At least Ye Chen dared to let himself be surrounded by Murong Yanzhao's two thousand cavalry guards, and Murong Yanzhao dared to stay by Ye Chen's side. A certain amount of trust is built.

Everything in front of him indicates that the trip to the northwest is developing in a very good situation, and Ye Chen's errands during this trip should be perfectly resolved.

However, will this matter really go so smoothly?

In common sense, the Holy Church was able to drive the [-] heavy cavalry from the Northwest Battalion to kill Ye Chen on the long street of Gyeongju City. This is already the biggest foreshadowing or killer.It's just that the holy hall lost so hastily and easily in the end, which made Ye Chen feel very uneasy.

Few people in this world can compare with him in understanding Yufeng and the Holy Church. Ye Chen absolutely does not believe that the Holy Church is the only one who prepares for this matter.

Ye Chen and his party stopped in front of the mansion gate, got off their horses, and entered the mansion.

Accompanied by Murong Yanzhao himself, Ye Chen and his party went directly into the depths of the general's mansion. Murong Yanzhao went to take off his armor and change clothes. Ye Chen and his party also stopped by a winter garden, and were respectfully respected by a scholar named Li Yanqun. Respectfully welcome the three of them into the garden, the wooden bath tubs have already been burnt and ready for Ye Chen and Hu Sanguang to bathe and wash away the dust.
