Then, she turned to look at Cenqiao Station where beacon smoke was already burning, turned around and blended in with the refugees, and continued to the next ambush location.

…

The streets of the capital.

Li Hongyun carried his bow and arrived in front of the largest restaurant in the capital.

"No matter what, let's have a good meal first!"

This is already Li Hongyun's seventh life.

Before, he had been trying to fight to the death at Cenqiao Station, but he died miserably every time.

Not to mention killing Wan Yan Sheng, even killing a low-level officer is not easy!

This was the first time that Li Hongyun regretted his identity as an assassin.

After all, he is a skilled assassin, unlike top assassins like Xia Ruoling who have such deep accumulation in disguise, concealment, layout, etc.

Moreover, he uses long-range weapons, not short weapons.

This means that the success rate of assassinating one person may be very high, but it will not work at all when encountering consecutive assassinations.

So, after repeatedly hitting the wall, Li Hongyun finally decided not to give in. He ran out of Cenqiaoyi and came to the capital before the city was closed.

He thought that his style of play was really not suitable for fighting alone.

After all, there are no advanced flintlock guns in this world.

Perhaps he can play his greatest role in the battle to defend the capital. All the enemy kills then should count, right?

Arriving at the door of the restaurant, Li Hongyun was about to step in when he suddenly felt a sudden movement and found that there was a signboard with a few lines of words on the signboard at the door.

During the Qi Dynasty, the commercial economy and brothel culture were very developed.

Every New Year and festival, students from all over the country will hold literary gatherings. If there are any good words to say at the literary gathering, someone will spread the word throughout the city that night.

These restaurants and brothels will display the students' excellent lyrics at the door for people to praise them.

And those courtesans in brothels will immediately sing these lyrics according to the word cards, which has the feeling of modern pop songs.

However, what was placed at the door of the restaurant at this time was not a poem, but a couplet.

"Smoke Lock Pond Willow!"

Moreover, it is clearly written next to the first couplet that any person with lofty ideals who can match this couplet and has the ambition to fight against the Jin Dynasty may directly meet with the current third-rank official, Yu Shi Zhongcheng, to discuss the plan to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and

You may get a recommendation and find an official position because of this.

Li Hongyun looked suspicious at first, but then he suddenly realized.

He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly came to the restaurant, called the waiter, and asked about the couplet.

The waiter immediately respectfully asked Li Hongyun aside and presented him with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

According to the waiter in the store, the imperial censor Zhongcheng requested that the hotel provide pens, ink, paper and inkstones for anyone who came to write the second couplet, write the title and signature, and then wait in the restaurant. Moreover, they could not finish the second couplet.

If you take a peek, you must immediately send it to the censor Zhongcheng's house.

Li Hongyun couldn't help but feel more sure. After the waiter turned around, he picked up the brush, splashed ink, and wrote five characters in a crooked font that looked like chicken claws.

Rust blocks the range hood!

Then, he left his name, waited for the ink on the paper to dry, folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the waiter.

Not long after, a carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant and took Li Hongyun to the residence of the Censor Zhongcheng.

It has to be said that Yushi Zhongcheng is a third-grade official after all. This mansion is quite grand, which also makes Li Hongyun regret a little: he should have chosen the scribe status to start the trial!

If this idea is known to other assassin players, they will definitely sneer at them: traitors of assassin players!

Li Hongyun would retort: ​​I originally wanted to be a scribe, but I changed my career halfway!

Not long after, the censor Zhongcheng came quickly.

A green forest man and a court official, who seemed completely out of place and with a huge gap in status, each stepped forward and held each other's hands tightly.

"Brother, I've finally waited for you!"

Li Hongyun had tears in his eyes. Ever since he entered this trial illusion, he, a poor Green Forester with an identity as an assassin, had had enough of the Jin people's bullying.

At Cenqiaoyi, I had no friends and received lunch boxes countless times. The tragedy of being killed by Jin soldiers every time was still vivid in my mind.

And this time, I finally found other players!

Li Hongyun asked: "I am Li Hongyun, what is your name?"

I saw a strange look on the face of the censor Zhongcheng: "I...I am Chu Ge..."

Both of them looked a little embarrassed. They looked at each other carefully, and then they realized that they could actually see each other's shadows in each other's eyebrows.

In this trial illusion, the players' original appearance has been deeply made up. It is not obvious at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see it.

Li Hongyun was very angry: "I said, where has my good luck gone? How come I haven't met Wan Yansheng even once! It turns out that I used it all to match you!"

…

With a "swish" sound, Huo Yunying shook off the blood on the sword.

Several other golden soldiers got on their horses in panic and ran away.

Huo Yunying wanted to eradicate the problem, but after all, the horses of these golden men were much faster than the horses of green forest men. Even if they could chase down one or two people, the outcome would not be fundamentally different.

Looking at the green forest people, the eyes they looked at him were almost like worshiping gods.

"Iron ropes control mountains and rivers" Yuan Zhiyong looked at Huo Yunying with respectful eyes: "Mr. Duan, what should we do next?"

At this time, these green forest people and the gathered people were completely following Huo Yunying's lead.

Because his series of previous performances really shocked these people.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with describing it as "a complete strategy".

Huo Yunying sighed silently in her heart, I don't want to portray myself as someone who knows all the tricks and has superb martial arts skills, but it won't work if I don't do this!

How do you know how many times I was tortured by the golden man!

At the beginning, Huo Yunying's plan was perfect but the execution was sparse, so he had no choice but to change his tactics again and again.

Based on the time, direction, approximate number of people, and various details of the Jin people's entry into the small village, Huo Yunying changed the battle plan again and again, trying to maximize the combat effectiveness of these green forest people and avoid them as much as possible in the plan.

His recklessness brought too many variables to the battle plan.

In short, after trying various methods, the entire village was finally saved with many people injured and no one dead.

But even so, this is not the end.

Huo Yunying originally thought that the field of vision would be filled with white mist at this time, and he would directly enter the second stage, but unfortunately it did not.

This also means that he has to continue to struggle here.

“Why didn’t we enter the second phase?

"Is it because those golden soldiers escaped?

"Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west... If it ends now, more golden soldiers will definitely come to take revenge soon. By then, this small village will still be unable to escape the fate of being massacred..."

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Yunying roughly figured out the current situation.

So, he looked at the Green Forest people and the villagers: "Everyone pack up quickly and only bring gold, silver, clothing and food.

"Let's go into the mountains!"

…

On the low city wall of Pingding County, Zhao Haiping looked into the distance.

Dark clouds over the city.

The forward scouts of the Jin soldiers have arrived at the foot of Pingding County, and further away, many Jin soldiers are setting up camp.

After carrying out several sentinel missions, the situation on the battlefield began to take a turn for the worse.

The biggest bad news came: Taiyuan fell.

Sure enough, after a short rest, Jin Bing's West Route Army began to further sweep the prefectures and counties around Taiyuan, as well as the entire Hedong Road.

The Pingding Army was stationed on the only road from Taiyuan City to the capital, so it naturally became an inevitable target for the Jin people to capture.

Although the terrain here is dangerous, the city is not large, the population is not large, and the entire Pingding Army only has about 3,000 people.
Chapter completed!
