Zhou Mo's scream was just spitting out of his mouth, and Xue Chao's hand pressed on his shoulder quickly grabbed his neck and held it back. Then the knife came out and went in and out again!

After three blows, Zhou Mo's mouth and nose blood kept pouring out, his eyes almost protruded from his sockets, staring at the people in front of him, especially Lord Zhang whom he trusted, who could not even speak out a word after all, and he was desperate in a blink of an eye and died with his eyes closed.

Just as Xue Chao was killing, the knights who followed him into the city also launched a raid on the guards in the city with great understanding. The short bow they had long held was suddenly raised, and the arrows were shot like lightning, almost not lost. They hit the throats of all unprepared guards inside and outside dozens of steps, making them fall to the ground without even screaming.

While the arrows flew out, the knights also rode their horses out. The sword light lit up, killing the remaining people one after another, and blood dyed half of the street red. Although there were finally screams, in the deserted corner of the city gate, this movement did not cause too much riots after all, and with the cover of the night, the impact was even more minimal.

It was not until the last soldier was killed that Xue Chao pulled out the knife from a corpse that Lord Zhang suddenly woke up and shouted in a trembling voice: "You...why are you doing so anxiously? If this is exposed and the defenders in the city are prepared, what should you do?"

Faced with his questioning, Xue Chao grinned and showed two rows of white teeth: "This guy is not simple, I already have doubts. I just did this just in case. Moreover, isn't there no more soldiers in Jinling now? Kill more, and there are fewer obstacles to incursions later."

As he said that, he ignored Lord Zhang, whose face was getting more and more ugly, turned to instruct his subordinates: "Zhang Er, Wang San, you two will take someone to clean up the body and look out for the city gate here for me."

The two fierce knights agreed immediately and took more than ten people off the horse and started busy. The others followed Xue Chao and followed Lord Zhang, who was still trembling, and went into the city in a big way.

Although Lord Zhang was nervous, he had already boarded the pirate ship and had no way out. At this time, he could only walk one road to Hei and led them all the way, and casually introduced and pointed out the specific situation of each street in Jinling City, which gate and the military camp leading to. Finally, he pointed to the widest, fifty-step long street: "From here, we are the Governor's Office. However, on the left and right, there are also the Patrol Office and the Jinling Office, and there are still some troops guarding, and a strong attack may not be possible."

"Do you think we would be so reckless? All the elders have made corresponding arrangements. Now all I have to do is to act according to the plan." Xue Chao smiled again. At this time, he looked completely different from the fierce god who had just started killing, and seemed so calm.

After hearing what he said, Lord Zhang felt relieved: "Then as planned, I will take you to the Liuzi Camp on the other side first, where there are more than 2,000 left-behind soldiers and horses, and the people guarding the city gate are also responsible for that side."

"Yes!" When Xue Chao heard the number two thousand, he not only showed no fear in his eyes, but instead showed an excitement.

More than half an hour later, under the guidance of Lord Zhang, they finally arrived in front of a row of military camps located in the southeast corner of Jinling. There were three large camps here, with a total of 10,000 people stationed. However, due to the previous emergency mobilization, only 2,000 troops were left in Liuzi Camp.

However, although there were few people and horses, the military discipline was not relaxed. Seeing such a team of cavalry approaching, the defenders in front of the gate immediately raised their spears and shouted loudly: "Who is the military camp's land, and the idle people are waiting to retreat quickly!"

"I am Zhang Xingying, under the order of the governor, bring these soldiers from the Xuanjian camp in Changzhou. You may not go to Tongchuan quickly." Lord Zhang immediately took two steps forward and reported his identity.

As one of the senior officials in the city, Zhang Xingying's prestige is quite considerable. As expected, the gatekeepers did not dare to neglect. While putting down their weapons to salute, they quickly sent people to pass on the traffic.

After a while, the gate opened and they were allowed to enter.

The commander He Gang, who was left behind in the camp, had no doubts about Zhang Xingying and met them politely. After learning that they were ordered by the governor to come to support and had subsequent troops arrived tomorrow, he was overjoyed and asked someone to hold a banquet to entertain the robes from Changzhou.

Xue Chao and others were naturally happy to cooperate in this arrangement. They smiled and became a group of soldiers. Zhang Xingying politely declined the banquet and said goodbye quickly. He had more important things to arrange one by one.

...

At the same time, under the cover of the darkness, some people were also sneaking to do shameful things.

Several black shadows rushed into the backyard of several busiest tramways in Jinling City and restaurants. After finding the woodshed, they opened the gourds while there was no one around, poured pungent liquid into the high woodshed piles, and finally poured them outside the woodshed.

There was another group of people who appeared at the back door of some wealthy houses in the south of the city. They took bundles of dry firewood from the car that had been prepared, and quietly laid it in front of the courtyard wall and the back door. Finally, they poured the liquid with a pungent smell. This time, these people led the liquid directly out of the alley and directly to the outer streets.

Everything is in an orderly manner, they are laying out, they are waiting.

Waiting for the fire of karma to burn the city, waiting for chaos in the city, waiting for the entire Jinling to snatch the glory of the true god of the sun and moon, and to truly arrive in another moment!

...

In the Governor's Office, there are also people waiting for the arrival of the battle report ahead.

Wen Ming looked at the two confidants in front of him: "How is it, hasn't the news been sent back from Caohe yet?"

The two confidants shook their heads: "No, no relevant news is sent back whether it is the fast horse or the Feige's letter."

"This is a bit strange. Logically speaking, in the past few days, our ships have almost left Jiangnan and entered the waters of Lianghuai? If something really happens there, the two government offices of Lianghuai will probably be responsible. This should not be the result that those rebels hope to see." Governor Wen frowned and whispered, but his inference was not possible, but the two confidants could not respond.

Fortunately, there was someone in the room who could talk to him equally at this time, Li Ling. He smiled and said, "Mr. Futai is a little calm, and the officials thought the news would be transmitted in one or two days."

"Hmph, you are confident and don't think about how much hard work I have used for your game."

"Sir, I'm not aimless to set up this game for you. And if I can really take this opportunity to catch all the bandits like Luotian Sect and Dajiang Gang, will it be yours for you?" Li Ling was quite calm and analyzed for him again:

"You think about it, the previous rebellion started quickly and was destroyed quickly, and there were so many interesting things in it. Obviously, after seeing that Luo Tian Sect was unable to do anything, he quickly preserved his strength.

"Then they colluded with the Dajiang Gang and suddenly took action to deal with the Cao Gang. At first, the officials felt a little strange. Logically speaking, how could they dare to attack the Cao Gang with the strength of the Dajiang Gang? They really made it happen. Later I realized that there was still help behind the Dajiang Gang, that is, the Luotian Sect, who preserved its strength.

"The Luotian Sect suddenly helped the Dajiang Gang deal with the Cao Gang. The officials were also a little confused, but now the answer is obvious, because they have to take over the name of the Cao Gang to take over the deal by the government. Because in Jiangnan, which is now in a waste of money, grain and taxes, it is not time for the government to send huge amounts of money, grain and taxes to the capital on time, and can only rely on the help of the civil power. In the entire Jiangnan, which gang can be more powerful than the Cao Gang and deserve such an important task?

"So, in secretly attacking the Cao Gang, their purpose was not to avenge or something, but to rob taxes and food, thereby strengthening themselves, and putting Jiangnan and the court in a more embarrassing situation.

"After thinking through all this, the lower officials really had to admire the Luo Tian Sect who decided this strategy and rebeled. Although the two elders of Earth and Fire in his sect have been awarded the title, it is obvious that in Jiangnan, they still have a third leader who is controlling everything. This person is about strategy and scheming, and maybe he is still above Zhao Chenghuang and Xiang Fantian."

After a pause, he looked at Wen Ming solemnly: "Governor, this is the best opportunity to eliminate all the two thieves once and for all. Even though it is a bit risky, I think as long as things are done, Jiangnan can be exchanged for a hundred years of worry-free life, so it is worth paying any price!"

Wen Ming's mouth curled slightly, and he seemed to smile: "What you said is not unreasonable, but have you ever thought about it? In this way, the entire Jinling is put in an unprecedented danger. If they take advantage of the situation, how should we deal with it?"

"This..." Li Ling was stunned. He had never thought about this. Although it was impossible to say that it was impossible, their target should be the money and food, but when they talked, they couldn't speak out, because what if? What if the leader of the Luotian Sect calculated one more step, he wouldn't have fallen into the other party's conspiracy?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and soon sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, as if to confirm his concern, a noise suddenly sounded outside, and then the closed door was pushed open. A yamen officer shouted outside the door with panic on his face: "Master Futai, there was a sudden fire in the city, and all four cities were in chaos."

"What?" Before Wen Ming could react, Li Ling screamed in shock, quickly got up, rushed out of the door in one step, and then looked to the four sides.

Because he was in the yamen and was blocked by many walls, he naturally could not see the situation outside. However, the red flames from all directions that reflected the darkness of the night still changed Li Ling's expression and his heart suddenly sank.
