Chapter 747: Entering the door
Xiao Huaiyu was wearing casual clothes, and his sleeves were originally tied with wrist guards, but at this moment, the wrist guards were broken and the long sleeves were raised. The sleeves of his right arm were filled with powerful energy, surrounding the knife-like palms.
The peak of martial arts master, the terrifying speed generated by his powerful explosive power, could only see a phantom rushing towards Sima Qingtian.
Although Sima Qingtian has amazing martial arts skills, he has absolutely no chance of winning against two against one. The moment he takes action, he does not seem to have included Xiao Huaiyu in his opponent range.
In other words, he only wanted to defeat Shang Zhongli, and seemed to be making a bet that Xiao Huaiyu would not attack him.
But Xiao Huaiyu took action decisively at the most appropriate time.
...
Famous generals are like strangers.
No famous general wants other monsters to exist in this world besides himself. If he has the opportunity to eradicate other "monsters", no one will be ruthless.
As Xiao Huaiyu himself said, they represent not only themselves, but a country.
Individuals can be moral, but for a country, they can only start from long-term interests.
Xiao Huaiyu was fast, but his movements looked gentle and chic. At this moment, his palm knife had a power that could not match any weapon in the world.
The palm sword is a magic weapon.
The realm of the body.
Sima Qingtian's energy has been placed on Shang Zhongli. Facing Xiao Huaiyu's attack, he obviously has no energy to deal with it. Once the momentum is closed, Shang Zhongli will take advantage of the momentum to attack.
Sima Qingtian seemed to have reached a place of death.
...
...
The energy was stirring, and the snow on the ground was like being swept up by a hurricane, floating up from the ground because of the energy. The expression on Prince Yan's face was also extremely painful, and the flesh on his face was like being blown by the huge wind, trembling and spasm.
The golden lock hit the sky, the stones under Shang Zhongli's feet were broken, and Xiao Huaiyu took action. In the eyes of famous generals, there was a first and a later, but the interval of time was almost no barrier in the eyes of the world.
It appears almost at the same time.
...
Sima Qingtian seemed to be unable to resist when facing Xiao Huaiyu's sudden attack, but he didn't even look at Xiao Huaiyu.
He seemed not afraid of Xiao Huaiyu's attack at all.
When he made the Dengfeng decision, he was very aware of the huge dangers at the top of Tianya Peak, and he also knew that Shang Zhongli must have set up a huge trap waiting for him.
He can ignore it.
However, as a rare peerless general in the world, he also noticed an unprecedented opportunity from it. Although he knew that the ultimate goal of Shang Zhongli's layout was probably to kill him, he also felt that this was a good opportunity to kill Shang Zhongli.
The Wei army was blocked under Longshan and could not move forward in an instant, which was naturally very annoying for Sima Qingtian.
However, if we can find an opportunity to kill Shang Zhongli, the defenders of Longshan will definitely fall into chaos, and the Wei generals will be able to take down Longshan and advance into Shangjing.
Except for Shang Zhongli, no one could stop the advance of the Wei army's iron hooves.
So he came.
Like all the top masters, the strength of martial arts makes him fearless and full of confidence.
Moreover, he also considered the possibility that Shang Zhongli and Xiao Huaiyu would join forces to kill him, so he naturally would not leave any backup plan. The moment Xiao Huaiyu attacked him, he was very sure that his backup plan would definitely play a crucial role at the same time.
He guessed correctly.
...
Although the confrontation between the three masters was earth-shaking and powerful, they did not make any loud noises that shook the sky and the earth. On the contrary, there was not much movement except for the sound of the biting cold wind.
So when the arrow sounded, the sound came into everyone's ears clearly.
It was the sound of piercing the air and slashing the cold wind.
That was a peerless arrow that moved the gods and demons of the nine heavens and ten earths.
That was originally a magical arrow that Sima Qingtian arranged to decide the battle at Tianya Peak.
But the moment the arrow sounded, the general who was like an ancient battlefield suddenly changed color. At this moment, his eyes appeared perhaps the angry and fearful expression in his life.
Despair!
...
...
Yanjing City is in the ugly time, and it is still early to dawn.
The Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion in Yanjing City has always been a very strange yamen.
Although the Nine Gate Admiral's Office is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, the officials of the Admiral's Office have never been decided by the Ministry of War. Since the founding of Yan State, the appointment and removal of generals of the Nine Gate Admiral's Office have been directly attributed to His Majesty the Emperor.
In other words, although the soldiers of the Nine Gate Admiral's Office were all named in the Ministry of War and received salary from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and even the cabinet's transfer orders would not play any role in the Nine Gate Admiral's Office.
This is a yamen that is completely dominated by the emperor.
In fact, the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion has always been a stadium that attracts attention. In the private words of many officials, the soldiers of the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion are the dogs guarding the gate of Yanjing City, while the Nine Gate Admiral Lu Yingji is the leader of this group of wolf dogs.
The nine gates of the Nine Gate Admiral Mansion controls the Nine Gate of Yanjing, with only a thousand subordinates. Moreover, compared with the elite soldiers of the Imperial Guard, the individual quality of the soldiers under the Nine Gate Admiral is far inferior to that of the individual soldiers.
In short, this is a yamen that is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of most people.
The Admiral of the Nine Gate, Lu Yingji, has been in the position of the Admiral of the Nine Gate for nine years. He is the first confidant to be promoted and reused after the current emperor ascended the throne.
Many people know very well about the relationship between Lu Yingji and the emperor. When the emperor was very young, Lord Lu was one of the accompanying emperors.
Generally speaking, there are two or three escorts around a prince. These escorts follow the emperor to study and practice martial arts. From a certain perspective, they are the best friends of the prince. Once the prince becomes the emperor, this type of escort who has no real power will become the emperor and become the emperor's confidant, thus entrusting with important tasks.
Of course, if the prince is unlucky and is dismissed in the process of fighting for the throne, then these escorts will be the ones who will definitely be eliminated.
In addition to normal practice of literature and martial arts, the escorts also play with the prince, and they can also form an extremely close relationship with the prince.
A prince would arrange escorts from the Nei Court since he was eight years old, but the rules established by Yan State in history that escorts cannot be children from aristocratic families. Their sources are usually famous prodigy in China. The Nei Court has a special escort department responsible for collecting this type of prodigy, and then enter the palace and screen them, and select outstanding teenagers from them and are assigned to the princes.
Lu Yingji is one of the current sergeants of the emperor. He has always been by the emperor along the way and helped the emperor overcome countless dangers. Emperor Pingguang was finally able to ascend the throne, and Lord Lu's achievements must not be erased.
After the emperor ascended the throne, the first decree was that Lu Yingji was the admiral of the Nine Gate. Many people found it very strange that Lu Yingji had always been the emperor's confidant, and had been with the emperor for so many years and had made outstanding contributions. How could he be finally named an inconspicuous admiral of the Nine Gate?
But those shrewd people understood that this represented the emperor's trust in Lu Yingji, and at that time, the portal of Yanjing City was handed over to the hands of this confidant.
During the years when Emperor Pingguang was competing for the crown prince, Lu Yingji was a very popular figure, but since he became the admiral of the Nine Gates, he has become extremely low-key, barely interacted with any officials, and became an alien in the court.
It is precisely because of his low-keyness that when he was in the court, he stayed quietly in the court lineup, and the eight winds remained unmoved. For nine years, the words that this Admiral Lu said in the court seemed to have no more than ten sentences except for the long live the mountain.
The Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion is located in the east of the city. Like all the mansions in the capital, on a cold winter night, covered with snow, and the whole mansion is also quiet. When a team of cavalry quietly surrounded the entire admiral's Mansion on this cold winter night, no one in the mansion noticed it.
The Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion is not big, the four gates are closed, and everyone is still sleeping. Who would have thought that at this time, there would be soldiers and horses who dared to surround this mansion?
The cavalry all had red armor on their shoulders, and the generals who led the troops had even rare red armor on their bodies. There was a ball of iron sheets of flame-shaped like iron on his helmet.
The general was in his forties, with a thin face, staring at the closed door, then looked up at the "Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion" on the plaque, and then slowly said: "Send the order, even if a fly flies out of this mansion, I will kill it immediately, so there is no need to hesitate!"
A red-armored deputy general behind him bowed and said, "Yes!" Turning his horse's head and going down to pass the order.
The Red Armor General did not hesitate anymore, and waved his hand and three cavalrymen came up from the back team. They were well-trained and turned over and dismounted. The two walked under the high wall, squatting beside the wall, holding each other with four hands, and the other cavalry skillfully stepped on the two people's four hands. The two quickly got up and raised the soldier standing on their arms. The soldier flew up with the force. Although he was wearing armor, his body was extremely lightly over the top of the wall, and then quickly jumped from the wall to the mansion.
Soon, the closed door made a "rattle" sound, slowly opening. It was the soldier who flipped into the yard and opened the door.
Without saying a word, the Red Armor general shook the reins and rushed directly into the yard without getting off his horse. Dozens of cavalry immediately poured into the back, and a red tide was filled with red tide.
There is a gatehouse next to the front door of each mansion. However, on this cold winter night, the gatehouse was already rolled up in a thick mattress and fell asleep beautifully. However, after all, it was the gatehouse, and there was alertness. The real neighing sound of horses outside the door made him feel something was wrong.
He turned over, pulled the cotton jacket over his body, opened the door, and felt his neck cool before he was born, and a cold steel knife pressed against his neck.
In amazement, he saw that in the courtyard, a large group of people were pouring in from outside the gate.
