Chapter 490: The Killing on Moonlit Night (I)
【start to act! 】
Everything tonight was a game. Both the Empire and the Anti-Qin Alliance considered themselves the winners, but who was the real winner still needed to be determined. On this side, Tianxuan entered the Snow Girl's room; on the other side, the Anti-Qin Alliance did not know how the situation would develop, but seeing the bright moon in the sky and the stars like gems, they no longer delayed.
The many high-ranking members of the Anti-Qin Alliance gathered in the Pao Ding Inn. Through the cracks in the windows, they caught a glimpse of the bright moon, as clear as a jade plate. They all had the same idea. They all stepped out to do what they were supposed to do. In their eyes, there was a mixture of pleasure and murderous intent.
Although Tianxuan had never met most of the top leaders of the Anti-Qin Alliance, it did not prevent them from hating him to the core.
[Axue, after today, only happiness awaits us! ]
The leader of the Mohist School, Gao Jianli, holding the famous sword Shuihan, walked alone on the deserted street, his handsome face showing endless determination, his eyes filled with pain and longing. The pain was naturally because the woman he loved most and only in his life, Xue Nu, was being possessed by another man. Although Gao Jianli could not be called the mastermind behind this situation, he could be regarded as one of the driving forces; the longing was because Xue Nu promised him that after today, she would marry him and they would live a happy life with children and grandchildren.
call out!call out!call out!
Gao Jianli was constantly leaving behind him in the streets and alleys. As Gao Jianli passed by the streets that should have been filled with sweet dreams, strange black shadows shot out, like ghosts in the darkness, and fell behind him. The Mohist disciples dressed in black had endless determination on their faces.
After the Qin army captured the Mechanical City, the truth about Yan Dan's murder of his master and his seizure of the throne was made public. In addition, Master Xu and Master Ban, two talents recruited by the empire, had great prestige in the Mohist school. Therefore, although Jing Tianming and his party had the symbol of the Mohist master's status: Mo Mei, there were not many people who were still willing to obey their orders.
However, for today's plan, Gao Jianli and others took out 70% of the capital on hand without hesitation.
As Gao Jianli walked in Linzi City, Mohist disciples who had arrived in Linzi City appeared behind him. After half an hour, Gao Jianli and his party were only a hundred feet away from the site of the Qi Palace. They only needed to cross an alley to reach the site of the Qi Palace.
At this time, there were nearly two hundred Mohist disciples following Gao Jianli.
boom!
As soon as Gao Jianli led nearly two hundred Mohist disciples into the last alley, something unexpected happened. The pitch-black night was suddenly torn apart by the blazing flames, and endless rays of light fell on the eyes of Gao Jianli and others like arrows, making these people who had adapted to the darkness unable to see at all.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
As soon as the torches were lit, a large number of Qin soldiers in black armor emerged from both sides of the alley. Deadly arrows were shot from the crossbows in the hands of about a thousand Qin soldiers, turning into an impenetrable rain of arrows, like an overwhelming net that enveloped all the Mohist disciples.
Then, clusters of sparks burst, screams broke through the air, and despair was condensed inside.
………………
"Brothers, follow me!"
Tian Zhong, the head of Gonggong Hall in the farmhouse, rushed to the place where the disciples of Gonggong Hall gathered as soon as he left Youjian Inn. There were 300 disciples of Gonggong Hall, and under the leadership of Tian Zhong, they rushed towards the distance like a rolling wave.
"Hall Master."
Just like the three halls of Shennong, Chiyou and Kuiwei, Tian Zhong's Gonggong Hall also has many disciples of the Tian family. Tian Zhong had already informed several of his confidants. When one of the confidants saw that the direction Tian Zhong was taking them to was not the old site of the Qi King's Palace, he looked puzzled and asked Tian Zhong.
"This doesn't seem to be the direction to the Qi Palace?" Tian Zhong smiled sinisterly, "Indeed not! This is the direction to the County Magistrate's Mansion." After opening the topic, Tian Zhong's tone became meaningful, "Wasn't Han Xin, the idiot, appointed as the governor of Qi County by Tian Xuanzi?"
"Although I don't know why Tian Xuanzi let Han Xin be the governor of Qi County, but Han Xin's husband betrayed the farmers and sold us out. Don't you want revenge?"
The news that Han Xin was willing to be humiliated by being kicked in the crotch had already spread. Almost everyone didn't understand why Tian Xuan would let a man with a crotch be the governor of Qi County. Not understanding was one thing, but it didn't prevent almost everyone, including old acquaintances from Gonggong Hall, from looking down on Han Xin. When Tian Zhong said this, the Gonggong Hall disciples around him recalled the past when they were betrayed by Han Xin and fled from Linzi City in a panic. Hatred and murderous intent appeared on every face.
【revenge!】
【revenge!】
【revenge!】
……
Although no one spoke, these two words filled the hearts of all the disciples around Tian Zhong. In the darkness, the breathing of the peasant disciples became heavy, gathering together, like the panting of a cow.
[The County Governor's Mansion is not far from the Qi Palace, and it was rebuilt from part of the Qi Palace. After taking down the County Governor's Mansion, you can attack the palace at any time to take down Tian Xuanzi's head; if you retreat, you can stay on the edge of the battlefield. Even if the plan fails, it will be easier to run away! ]
Although Tian Zhong couldn't see the expressions of his subordinates, he knew through the air currents around him that the people around him had been provoked to hate Han Xin. Tian Zhong's mouth curled up slightly, and his little white face was full of pride, and he couldn't help but secretly said.
boom! boom! boom!
Silently, Tian Zhong led his 300 peasant disciples across the streets and alleys and came to an open space created by the intersection of the roads. In this open space of a hundred feet long and wide, where vendors usually gathered, people had already been waiting for Tian Zhong and his companions. When the Gonggong Hall group arrived at this open space, they saw a large shadow in the darkness through the light of the stars and the moon that blended together and were difficult to distinguish.
Torches were lit in all directions. The blazing torches tore through the endless darkness, revealing the true form of the large shadow. Hundreds of Qin infantrymen, all wearing iron armor and holding swords, shields, bows and crossbows, formed a huge square formation. The chilling murderous aura, like the whistling cold wind in the night sky, rushed towards Tian Zhong and others.
Zizizi!
The Gonggongtang group led by Tian Zhong had no time to adapt to the flames tearing through the darkness before the murderous aura coming towards them made them feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar.
"wind!"
"Gale!"
"Qin Feng!"
……
The reason why the thousand elite Qin soldiers appeared here was to prepare for Tian Zhong and others. Under the illumination of burning torches, the Qin army square formation, which was composed entirely of infantry, began to move, shouting the Qin army's military horn, and showing all their weapons. Even in the movement, they were able to maintain their formation, showing the superb quality of the strongest army in the world.
