Jian Jiu had not slept well for a long time. Her eyes were bloodshot and she relied on medicine to fall asleep briefly.

Lying on his couch were several beauties, all of whom he had summoned to serve him during this period.

When people are in the most dangerous moments, they need to enjoy themselves more.

Jian Jiu loves sex and money, and even more loves life. The army outside the city was like a sharp knife stabbing him in the back of the head, but as time passed, he realized how stupid the people leading the army outside were.

In order to save the good-for-nothing prince, he was almost killed by a firecracker, and now he was still refusing to attack because of the lives of several civilians.

Jian Jiu took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes and smiled. His intuition was particularly accurate, which helped him escape several life-and-death situations.

He could feel that the general was a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person. This was the most taboo thing in fighting. A benevolent man would not control the army.

This was the first step for him to gain the kingdom. The fall and overthrow of every dynasty started from a defeat.

What's more, he still has the concubines of King Wu in his hands. After solving the most troublesome You Yanjing, the rest will be much easier to control.

Now he only needs to follow Zhou Chonghua's original plan, lead his troops and attack the capital, and the world will be at his fingertips!

There was a knock on the door and someone came to report it. Zhou Shifu called him to go to the mansion to discuss it.

Jian Jiu's eyes were red with excitement. He dropped the wine glass in his hand and yelled at the servants outside to come in and put on his armor. He was going to see Zhou Shifu.

To be honest, Jian Jiu really wanted to kill Zhou Shifu, but many people in the army were Zhou Shanhe's old troops, and they listened to Zhou Shifu more than his orders.

Now that a powerful enemy is facing him, he must join forces with Zhou Shifu to win this battle.

But that bastard Zhou Shifu, because of You Yanjing, has not given him a good look for a long time.

Fortunately, Zhou Shifu also knew that they could not fight among themselves now.

Seeing the way Zhou Shifu, who used to be a gentleman, tolerated him, Jian Jiu wanted to sneer.

Zhou Shifu was standing in front of the sand table: "They haven't taken any action yet. What are they waiting for?"

Jian Jiuyi sat down on the chair next to him and touched his steel knife: "What else can we wait for? Or they are looking down on us. , or it's just a trap, the people in the city are in our hands and don't dare to move."

After hearing his words, Zhou Shifu frowned, he had never looked down on Jian Jiu, this person was cruel and despicable . , How dare you take action to harm the prince.

If the prince was not still alive but was captured, he would not be able to allow Jian Jiu to act recklessly in front of him and would have to kill this person.

The two discussed in the room and finally decided to send troops tomorrow to attack him unprepared.

Jian Jiu sneered and said: "Well, I pretended to be loyal before, but now it's not for myself, I have to abandon the prince and start fighting."

Zhou Shifu's face was livid: "They will not kill the prince at will, they must take it back to the capital and get an order from the emperor. Execution. Do you think everyone is like you, doing things without rules and doing random things?"

Jian Jiu understood, Zhou Shifu still had a dream to win the battle and rescue the prince.

He lowered his eyelids, and the steel knife in his hand reflected cold light. Zhou Shifu couldn't stay, and he would be in trouble if the two of them joined forces to deal with him.

How to kill and when to kill?

While thinking, Jian Jiu suddenly noticed that the surroundings were extremely quiet.

The place where they usually discuss is the Prince's Mansion, which is heavily guarded and has many soldiers coming and going, most of them wearing armor and making a lot of noise when walking.

But in order to avoid suspicion, they usually only bring a few guards with them, and the rest stay outside the courtyard.

Even so, the yard shouldn't be so quiet.

This strange silence gave off a certain ominous flavor.

At this moment, Jian Jiu suddenly felt something. He slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Shifu.

He met the opponent's eyes, and at that moment Jian Jiu seemed to feel something. He stood up slowly, picked up the steel knife in his hand, and said with a sinister look: "General Zhou, what have you done?"

Zhou Shifu also picked up the knife in his hand. The knife: "It's my turn to ask you, what did you do!"

They just work together reluctantly at this special time, and they are all wary of each other.

Jian Jiu stepped back, stared at Zhou Shifu warily, and gently opened the door. The moment the gap was opened, a golden knife was inserted from the outside, almost sealing Jian Jiu's throat.

He was covered in cold sweat and backed away suddenly.

The blood-stained golden sword was slowly withdrawn, as quietly as a ghost, while the body of the soldier guarding the outside fell along the door and knocked it open.

The cold wind blew the fine snow into the room, and Jian Jiu could clearly see the corpses all over the garden. Some of them were dead before they even had time to take out the firecrackers.

Jian Jiu was proud of his martial arts skills, but he was still sweating on his forehead. His intuition told him that the person who came was not good.

At this time, a sharp knife shadow struck, and Jian Jiu immediately blocked it with his sword. The force was so strong that his jaw cracked and he almost fell to one knee.

The man was dressed in black and looked weak, but he was full of strange strength that even Jian Jiu couldn't resist.

"Hurry up and call someone!" Jian Jiu shouted at Zhou Shifu behind him.

For some reason, the man in black didn't look at Zhou Shifu at all, but focused on Jian Jiu.

Zhou Shifu couldn't help but pause slightly as he escaped from the courtyard, full of doubts.

Where did the assassin come from? When the two armies were fighting, the city was heavily guarded and no one was cooperating inside and outside. The assassin would not have come in so easily.

What's more, he found the place where they were discussing as soon as he arrived. It seemed that he was very familiar with the two of them, so he sent someone to assassinate them.

Besides him, is there anyone in this city who wants Jian Jiu's life?

Zhou Shifu paused slightly. When he saw the man in front of him who was also dressed in black and followed by two assassins, he said dumbly: "Your Majesty..."

With corpses everywhere on the ground, You Yanjing smiled at him almost calmly. Smiling: "General Zhou, you are well."

Jian Jiu had no idea that Zhou Shifu, who had escaped to look for his pursuers, had stopped.

But he didn't believe Zhou Shifu either. When he resisted another fierce attack, he took the opportunity to fire the signal tube in his hand.

It won't take long before his cronies will lead people to surround the Prince's Mansion, making it impossible for these assassins, including Zhou Shifu, to get in or out!

While Jian Jiu was transmitting the signal, his arm was almost completely cut off.

This man in black is extremely familiar with his sword skills, and every move is looking for his fatal point.

Jian Jiu said hoarsely: "Who asked you to kill me, I can pay a hundred times higher than him."

The man in black ignored him completely and swung his knife again.

The two knives collided, causing sparks to fly. Jian Jiu held his breath and used his master's special skills, but he could only slide the knife across the other person's cheek, but the man's knife cut open his waist and abdomen.

Blood splattered everywhere and severe pain hit. The mask and human skin mask of the man in black cracked, revealing Jian Jiu's frightened face: "You Yanjing?!"

In an instant, he came back to his senses. This person in front of him was not You Yanjing.

How could that good-for-nothing You Yanjing have such evil kung fu? His ruthless killing aura was as cold as that of someone who had killed many people. Desperados like them could best identify similar people.

Blood slid down the man's fair cheeks, and those beautiful eyes stared at Jian Jiu without any emotion, but made his hair stand on end.

He stopped talking to this assassin because he knew that no matter what he said, the man in front of him would not let him go.

Those are the eyes looking at a dying person.

He will die! Jian Jiu already had a premonition when she saw her own shadow reflected in the other person's pupils.

Holding the handle of the knife tightly, Jian Jiu roared angrily and swung the knife down with great force.

...

"There's something going on!" Yan Xiaoliu said anxiously as he hurried to the side of Yan Yunhe who was already riding on his horse.

Yan Yunhe held the reins with both hands for who knows how long, but deep marks were embedded in his palms.

"Where are they from?" Yan Yunhe said in a deep voice, as if he was not panicked at all.

Yan Xiaoliu looked ugly and said, "They are not from our side. General, do you want to send troops immediately?"

Yan Yunhe looked in the direction of Dongping City with a heavy eyebrow. Under the cover of night, the army gradually approached Dongping, but there was no order. Who Don't dare to move without permission.

Should he alert the enemy, or should he look for the most suitable time and continue to be patient.

Yan Yunhe stared straight ahead, almost biting the roots of his teeth.

Before leaving, Yu Qin's voice was still in his ears, and he asked him to believe him.

Yan Yunhe slowly loosened his stiff joints: "Wait a moment."

Every second felt like Ling Chi, Yan Yunhe stared at the dark night sky until his patience ran out. The moment he raised his hand to give the order, a huge The sound exploded in the air. It was what Yan Yunhe personally handed to Yu Qin, fireworks of the same color as the battle flag.

Raising his hand and waving the battle flag, Yan Yunhe shouted: "Attack the city!"

...

Soldiers armed with muskets gradually surrounded the entire Prince's Mansion.

Zhou Shifu took You Yanjing back to the courtyard. When he saw the man standing in the snow, his pupils shrank slightly.

The man slowly wiped the blood stains on the golden knife with his lower robe. When the pale and bloody face turned around, even You Yanjing's heart skipped a beat.

Nothing else, just because the two of them looked at each other like siblings of the same mother with different ages.

Jian Jiu's head fell at his feet, as if he would not rest in peace.

Zhou Shifu asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

You Yanjing wanted to say that this was General Yan's person, but at this moment, he didn't even know who the person in front of him was.

"Let's go." Yu Qin said coldly, not wanting to waste time here with them at all.

Zhou Shifu: "The courtyard has been surrounded by Jian Jiu's people. They are armed with blunderbuss. If you go out now, you will die."

Yu Qin stood still and said, "What do you think we should do?"

Zhou Shifu: "There is a secret passage in the palace, you guys Follow me."

You Yanjing glanced at Zhou Shifu in surprise. It was obvious that he didn't even know the existence of this secret passage.

The secret passage is a long and deep stone passage that can directly connect to the outside of the city. It was built when King Wu was still alive in order to leave an escape route for his descendants when the rebellion failed.

Yu Qin did not step in, but looked at Zhou Shifu cautiously, grabbed You Yanjing's collar, grabbed the person in front of him, and said to Zhou Shifu: "You go in first."

Zhou Shifu said in horror: "What is this? You mean?"

The golden knife was raised and pressed against You Yanjing's throat. The bloody smell on Yu Qin's body became thicker and his voice was thin and cold: "Where are the other two people following you?"

He asked You Yanjing: "Are you dead?"

No one spoke in front of the open stone door.

"It seems... he has been killed." Yu Qin looked at Zhou Shifu's face that gradually darkened, and said clearly: "By you."
