Nightwatcher

On the top of the city, with Xu Qi'an's departure, the Yunzhou army fell into chaos.

In their eyes, Ji Xuan, the invincible Ji Xuan, the God of War Ji Xuan who shined from Qingzhou to Yongzhou, had his head held in Xu Yinluo's hand just now.

In an instant, the mood of despair exploded in the hearts of the Yunzhou army and the middle-level generals, thinking that the empress was so excited after being beheaded, and how desperate she is now.

Except for Ji Xuan who was hailed as the god of war by them, even the national teacher escaped.

"General Ji was killed, Xu Yinluo is invincible, he is a god descending from the earth."

In the crowd, a Yunzhou army was full of despair, his lips trembling.

Desperation and panic fermented in the hearts of the Yunzhou army. The rebels rioted, holding knives, looking around blankly, not knowing what to do.

After seeing Ji Xuan's head, they no longer had any fighting spirit in their hearts.

As natives of the Central Plains, they had all heard of Xu Yinluo's name. What killed the 300,000 army of the Witch God with one sword, single-handedly drove back 20,000 rebels when they came to Yunzhou, and so on.

This kind of inherent impression, when the situation is good, will be suppressed in the heart, once encountering a hurdle that cannot be overcome, the fear suppressed in the heart will fight back wildly, making them lose their fighting spirit.

A stern look flashed in Yang Chuannan's eyes, and he said loudly:

"The Yunzhou army would rather die in battle than surrender. All the soldiers obey the order and kill!"

On the side, more than a dozen cronies clenched their weapons tightly, their faces full of anger.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the saber in a soldier's hand fell to the ground, and he said tremblingly:

"I, I surrendered. I said that the rebellion has no way out. We can't beat Xu Yinluo."

After a few seconds of silence, a second surrender appeared:

"I surrender too, I, I just want to live."

"I surrender too"

Then, as if triggering a chain reaction, more and more Yunzhou troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered, shouting "surrender" in local dialects.

"Rebellion is a capital crime, and there is no way out if you surrender!"

Yang Chuannan shouted loudly: "Follow me and give it a go."

He knew that he was bound to die, and he was determined not to surrender. He wanted to encourage the Yunzhou army to die with Dafeng, even if he died, he would have to pay a heavy price.

But before he could speak, a relative behind him silently dropped the knife in his hand and shouted:

"I surrender."

Yang Chuannan's voice stopped abruptly.

More than a dozen cronies around him dropped their weapons one after another and shouted to surrender.

Yang Chuannan's cheek muscles twitched violently, his eyes were all gray.

In the distance, looking at the top and bottom of the city, the Yunzhou army kept abandoning their weapons and surrendering. Qi Guangbo slowly closed his eyes, and held the saber on his waist with one hand.

For a handsome man, there should be a decent way to die.

His face was sad, he hadn't been able to fight against Wei Yuan in the battlefield back then, and he still has no chance today.

The three words Xu Qi'an mean the abyss between him and Wei Yuan, which cannot be crossed and makes people despair.

Qi Guangbo's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to draw his sword to kill himself, but his hands suddenly became uncontrollable.

He opened his eyes in astonishment, and saw standing in front of him dressed in white, with mediocre facial features, mediocre temperament, and mediocre height.

"Why don't you let me die." Qi Guangbo said in a deep voice.

As the coach of Yunzhou, it is not so cheap to want to die. Sun Xuanji finished speaking silently in his heart, and when it came to his lips, it turned into one word:

"Ah!"

Under the leadership of the generals, the Dafeng garrison tied up the soldiers one by one. They brandished scabbards and wooden sticks, yelled and beat them, and vented their anger.

This group of desperate rebels dared to attack the capital. Who gave them the courage? Didn't they know that Xu Yinluo was the patron saint of Dafeng?

Xu Yinluo has a legendary deed, has he ever been defeated?

It's the same this time, if you don't make a move, if you make a move, you will kill the leader of the enemy army.

This is the God of War in their minds.

Ge Wenxuan, Yang Chuannan and more than a dozen core figures were quickly subdued by Zhao Shou, Sun Xuanji and Kou Yangzhou. With these extraordinary experts watching, it would be difficult to commit suicide.

The Imperial Palace, the Golden Temple.

The empress is on the throne, and besides the princes, there are also the commanders of the imperial army, the twelve guards of the capital, Xu Erlang, Zhang Shen, Chu Yuanzhen, Cao Qingyang and other martial arts masters in the hall.

The latter, because of his meritorious service in defending Dafeng, made an exception to go to the palace to meet the emperor and reward him for his meritorious service.

"A total of 28,361 rebels were captured. Qi Guangbo, Yang Chuannan and other rebel generals have all been controlled. Eight thousand three hundred and forty-three soldiers were killed in this battle and twelve thousand were injured. The people in the outer city More than 800 people were killed or injured."

"Seized more than two hundred cannons, one hundred and twenty crossbows, armor and weapons."

"Among the four city gates, the south city gate has been destroyed, and a large section of the city wall has collapsed; the other three city gates have been damaged to varying degrees and need extensive repairs."

"."

The battle damage was already considerable, but the faces of the princes were filled with joy, and there was a kind of ease in seeing the sun through the clouds and mists.

This battle ended the Yunzhou rebellion, and the cloud hanging over the Dafeng court finally dissipated completely, and dawn has come.

After Huaiqing listened silently, he said slowly:

"The losses in this battle were heavy. What suggestions do you have for the post-war treatment and the disposal of the rebel prisoners?"

Chief Assistant Qian Qingshu came out and said:

"You can let Yunzhou send soldiers to work as coolies, responsible for repairing the city wall and other matters, and make arrangements after the aftermath is over."

The biggest use of these pawns at present is to serve as free labor.

Chief Assistant Qian Qingshu continued:

"As for Qi Guangbo and other rebel leaders, they should be beheaded as soon as possible to show the majesty of the court. The cabinet has prepared a notice: Xu Yinluo will behead the rebel leader Ji Xuan to deter the whole army and put down the rebellion.

"In this way, the hearts of the people can be quickly reassured."

Huaiqing nodded and said:

"Can!"

Liu Hong, the censor of Zuodu, came out and said:

"I still have one thing that I don't understand. It seems that the battle to cross the tribulation in the northern border has been won? Where are the Bodhisattva Jia Luoshu and Baidi now?"

Liu Hong's doubts are also the doubts of the princes.

The Yunzhou Rebellion is over, but for the princes, the end is a bit inexplicable.

Because in the combat power of the Transcendent Realm, Yunzhou relied on Baidi and Jia Luoshu, but from the beginning to the end, they did not see the appearance of the two first-rank powerhouses.

Huaiqing's tone was majestic, and he said slowly:

"The national teacher and Xu Yinluo, both promoted to the first rank, have beheaded the body of Baidi in the northern border. The Jialuo tree was too difficult to support, so Xu Yinluo beat back and fled back to the Western Regions."

! ! !

In the hall, the drooping faces were suddenly lifted up, showing shock and bewildered expressions.

First-rank martial arts. The heads of the princes are buzzing, and they are almost about to say to the empress:

No kidding!

Such a simple sentence instantly set off a storm in the hearts of the princes.

And even Zhang Shen and Li Mubai, who had learned about the situation from Zhao Shou, were still shocked beyond words when they heard the news again.

The sect masters of the Wulin League were dumbfounded, and it was difficult to manage their expressions.

Yipin Wufu was born.

Since Emperor Wuzong, there has been no first-rank martial artist in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains for five hundred years.

Today, five hundred years later, Xu Qi'an has been promoted to a rank one martial artist.

Before he knew it, he had become a truly invincible man. Zhu Gong actually had a feeling that everything is right and wrong, and the world has changed.

Did I really just stay in the military town for five months? Nangong Qianrou asked herself, a little suspicious that she had made a mistake in her perception. He still couldn't accept the silver gong that was a fifth-grade strength, and became the pinnacle of martial arts five months later. characters.

What is the concept of Yipin?

This is the end of the Wufu system.

Looking at ancient and modern times, apart from super-rank, who's combat power can match that of a first-rank martial artist?

The old ancestor retreated for five hundred years before he was promoted to the second rank. This is already a remarkable figure, destined to be recorded in the annals of history, and Xu Yinluo, who is in his early twenties, has already completed martial arts. Do you feel that the talent of the ancestor seems to be just like a human being?

At the same time that this thought flashed by, they looked around with some guilt, seeing that Protector Yuan was not in the hall, they were immediately relieved.

"Okay, okay! Great dedication to this point, the world will be peaceful, and the kingdoms of the four directions will not be dared to commit crimes!"

Liu Hong's hands trembled with excitement, and he burst into tears:

"This is the blessing of the people of the Central Plains, the blessing of His Majesty, and the blessing of the community."

At this moment, the princes felt sad and recalled all the incidents that Dafeng had encountered since the year of Jingcha, from Emperor Zhende's disaster and chaos, self-destruction of the ancestors' foundation, to the rebellion in Yunzhou, and the people in the Central Plains were in dire straits.

In the past year, there were too many disasters, and the imperial court was already overwhelmed.

Now that he finally made it through, Wei Yuan was revived, Xu Qi'an was promoted to the first rank, leading the army in battle with the former, and the latter with extraordinary combat power. It is conceivable that in the long years to come, Dafeng will have good weather, and the country will live in peace and prosperity.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wuzong, the northern border of the Western Regions, the southern border of the Witch God religion, and the four sides surrendered. They never dared to invade the territory of Dafeng, and dared not use weapons rashly.

After the war ended, the martial law in the inner city was lifted, and the city defense army rushed through the streets and alleys with drums and gongs, shouting that the rebellion had been put down and the world was peaceful.

When the people heard the sound, they opened the door and opened the window in surprise, only to find that there were no patrolling soldiers on the street.

"The war is over? I was scared to death. I thought the capital was over."

"The sound of artillery fire has been silent for a while. I thought the rebels had retreated. Who would have thought that the rebellion had been quelled."

"Walk around, go to the notice wall to see the situation."

One after another, some people left their homes, went to the street, and tacitly walked towards the notice wall at the gate of the city and the notice boards of the major yamen.

Sure enough, the people saw a new notice posted on the bulletin board from afar.

"What does it say?"

"Does it mean that the rebellion has been put down? The rebel army's home is in Yunzhou. Although this rebellion is over, it is likely to make a comeback."

"That can't be helped. Our capital can quickly repel the rebels, which is already extremely powerful."

"Your Majesty is indeed the Man of Destiny, and the officials are not as stupid as we imagined."

Most people are illiterate, while discussing while waiting for the content of the literate notice.

Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise:

"The notice said that Xu Yinluo beheaded the leader of the rebel army to frighten the entire army."

The noise suddenly rose, and the people gathered around the bulletin board talked a lot, asking whether it was true or not.

After getting a definite answer, the common people suddenly realized, no wonder the rebellion was quelled so quickly, it was Xu Yinluo who finally took action.

"Tell me, aren't the rebels looking for death? They traveled all the way to the capital, and before they caused a storm, they were killed by Xu Yinluo."

"I thought it was His Majesty who was wise and powerful, and the soldiers were well-trained. It turned out that Xu Yinluo was the one who frightened the rebels."

"Sure, Xu Yinluo killed the 500,000 Witch God Sect army one by one outside Yuyang Pass back then."

Now, killing the leader of the rebel army with his hands and intimidating the entire army, in the eyes of the common people, is exactly what Xu Yinluo should have.

"Hey, isn't it two hundred thousand?"

Some people questioned the authenticity of the quantity, but it was quickly submerged in the tide of praise.

Unknowingly, the people in the capital have cultivated an "arrogance". This kind of arrogance is not the arrogance of noble people living at the feet of the emperor, but the arrogance of living in the same city as Xu Yinluo.

Disasters continued throughout the Central Plains, Qingzhou and Yongzhou were even captured by rebels, but our capital is not afraid, because there is Xu Yinluo in the capital.

palace.

Wang Simu, his mother and two sister-in-laws took a carriage and returned to the mansion.

The two elder brothers came out anxiously and asked urgently:

"I heard from someone that the battle outside the city is over?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, with a relaxed expression, and said with a smile:

"I heard from people in the palace that it was Xu Yinluo who beheaded the leader of the rebel army, frightened the rebel army at the top of the city, and put an end to the chaos.

"Well, at the beginning, the master planned to marry the Xu family, but I didn't want it in my heart. Only now do I understand that the master has good intentions."

With the relationship between the Wang family and the Xu family, even if the old man resigns from the post of chief assistant, he will still be able to become rich and powerful in Beijing and bring blessings to future generations.

The eldest son of the Wang family heaved a sigh of relief, with a happy expression on his face:

"Father is still waiting for news in the room, I will tell him immediately."

Mrs. Wang nodded:

"Master can recover from his illness at ease."

Wang Simu smiled and said:

"I'll go talk to my father."

No one dared to object.

Wang Simu came all the way to his father's bedroom, knocked on the door, and said:

"father."

The door opened immediately, and the maid said respectfully, "Miss."

Wang Simu let out a "hmm", stepped over the threshold, entered the room, and saw Wang Shoufu leaning on the soft pillow, looking towards him.

"How is the battle going?" Wang Zhenwen's expression and tone were very calm, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Simu.

Wang Simu knew what his father meant, sat by the bed, held his father's hand, and said softly:

"Xu Yinluo is back, it's over, Dad, it's over."

Wang Shoufu nodded, because he had known about it from his two sons, and now that it was confirmed, he felt relieved.

"The Battle of the Northern Territory is also over"

Wang Zhenwen still has a doubt, but knows that her daughter can't answer it.

How did he win?

Simu Wang said:

"When I came here, I met Erlang on the road. He was about to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, and he told me something."

Wang Zhenwen looked at her daughter.

Wang Simu pursed her lips and told the truth:

"Xu Yinluo has been promoted to the first rank."

First rank martial artist. Wang Zhenwen murmured: "First rank martial artist."

He suddenly felt that a new force was sprouting in his body, thriving, and his face was exhausted.

Yunzhou, outside the sea.

On the blue ocean, a fleet of ships anchored in the undulating blue waves, and the flag embroidered with blue dragons was strongly encouraged in the strong wind.

Azure Dragon Fleet!

The middle-aged man in a purple robe stood on the side of the boat, looking at Yunzhou, his eyes were fixed, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

After Qianlong City was attacked, he realized that the combat power in the city was not as strong as that of the enemy, so he made a decisive decision, crushed and sent jade talismans to Baidi City, and then led five hundred trusted troops in the city, went straight to the coast, boarded the Azure Dragon Fleet, and fled overseas .

This place is dozens of miles away from Yunzhou, which is safe enough.

He is here waiting for news from the national teacher.

The meaning of the existence of the Azure Dragon Fleet is not to fight, but to leave a way for Yunzhou to retreat.

Back then, I chose to take root in Yunzhou because it was backed by Wang Yang, and even in a desperate situation, there was still a way out.

"Since the national teacher did not return to help Yunzhou, it means that he is sure to win the capital. As long as he wins the capital, Yunzhou's loss will be nothing."

The middle-aged man in purple has held a high position for many years, he is calm and not panicked.

At this time, he saw a white shadow flash in front of him, and Xu Pingfeng's back appeared.
