In the hall, there was silence, the air seemed to be condensed, and there was not even a breath of wind outside.

Guan Yubai picked up the half-empty cup of herbal tea and took another slow sip.

Menkel stared at Guan Yubai for a moment, his heart lifted little by little, and a cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck. He was very sure that Guan Yubai would be moved. Even if it wasn't now, after Guan Yubai verified Xiao Yi's meeting with Xiye's envoy, his heart would definitely be shaken...

After all, the destruction of the Guan family will be an eternal pain in Guan Yubai's heart, and it will also be a scar that will never heal. Guan Yubai can no longer serve one person wholeheartedly! Even if he stood in Guan Yubai's position, he would feel that if he doesn't do it for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Menkel took a deep breath and persuaded: "Mr. Marquis, I also know that this decision is not easy for the Marquis, but Mr. Marquis, you single-handedly won half of Xiye's country. , only you are worthy of becoming the Lord of Xiye, and Prince Xiao just wants to sit back and enjoy the success!"

"The 50,000 Southern Xinjiang troops under the Marquis have long been impressed by the Marquis's character and intelligence. Presumably, when the Marquis rises up, they will definitely respond to the call and serve the Marquis as their leader... Even if someone dares to mutiny, he will be killed as a warning to others. Even so, how much waves can it stir up!"

"Also, the warriors of our Mengu tribe are also willing to serve for the Marquis. Lord Marquis, this opportunity cannot be missed. You can't just sit back and wait for others to lose their bows. Please think twice!"

Menkel deliberately emphasized the word "Zai" and quietly reminded Guan Yubai of the destruction of the Guan family army nine years ago.

Guan Yubai's pupils shrank sharply, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were as deep as a dark pool of water, as if it was about to **** people in.

The hall was quiet for a while, and the cold wind blew in the yard outside, causing the branches and leaves to sway. The trees wanted to be quiet but the wind didn't stop.

Guan Yubai seemed to hear the noise and raised his eyes to look at the swaying trees outside. It was the cold winter season and most of the leaves on the branches had fallen, leaving only a few remaining leaves swaying in the wind...

Seeing that Guan Yubai was moved, Menkel felt that he had convinced the other party, and he finally let go. He knew that going too far was not enough, so he did not continue to force Guan Yubai to make a choice, but changed the subject. : "Master Marquis, regarding Zhongling City, I... will finally have a plan to offer!"

He immediately changed his name to "The Last General" to show his loyalty. At the same time, Huo Di stood up, respectfully clasped his fists and asked for orders: "The Last General is willing to lead the remnants of our Gu warriors who pretend to be fleeing to Zhongling City on behalf of the Marquis. After the generals and others sneak into Zhongling City, it will be easier to break the city from the inside. When the success is achieved, the city gate will be opened to welcome the Marquis into the city..."

Guan Yu raised his white eyebrows slightly and looked at Menkel with a deep gaze, "How sure are you?"

"Master Marquis, Zhongling City is the territory of the Xizhuo Clan. Sires, the leader of the Xizhuo Clan, is very happy about his success. As long as the general expresses his surrender, he will not be suspicious. There is a 70 to 80% chance that the general will succeed in this matter." It works. It's just..." As he spoke, Menkel paused hesitantly, gritted his teeth, and continued worriedly, "The general is afraid that once the Marquis takes Zhongling City, Prince Xiao will attack him. I can't sit still. It's essential to be on guard against others. Lord Marquis, why don't you wait until Zhongling City is captured and then tell Prince Xiao about this matter? What do you think, Lord Marquis?"

Guan Yubai smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "Then everything depends on the clan leader."

It’s done! Menkel was secretly happy that this matter was finally done!

"Master Marquis, the general will assemble his troops and set out immediately." Menkel said impassionedly, cupping his fists, and then strode back.

Next, a second wave of commotion ushered in Longmen City. A horn sound unique to Xiye sounded, and thousands of Xiye soldiers under Menkel quickly gathered near the city gate.

More than an hour later, these thousands of "reformed" Xiye "remnant soldiers", led by Menkel, came out of the north gate of Longmen City and went all the way north in embarrassment, bypassing the large mountain beside Daye Mountain. Ye Gugu arrived outside Zhongling City that night.

Although night has fallen, the walls of Zhongling City are illuminated by torches like daylight, which also illuminates the front...

The people on the city wall saw Menkel and his party from a distance. Before they could get closer, someone asked loudly: "Who is coming?!"

Menkel hurriedly shouted: "I am Menkel, the leader of the Mengu tribe. Guan Yubai's army defeated Wenxi City, Gonglai City and Longmen City. Only three of our Mengu tribe escaped. Thousands of people. I want to see you, Chief Sires, and I have important military information to tell you. Please welcome me into the city quickly!"

In a moment, the heavy city gate slowly opened a gap just wide enough for two people to walk side by side with a loud rumbling sound.

A tall young general led several soldiers to personally come out of the city to welcome Menkel and his party into the city. Following that, Menkel followed the young general to Sires's mansion.

The mansion that had fallen asleep became brightly lit with the arrival of Menkel. After a while, a tall, middle-aged general hurried into the hall.

In the hall, other people had retreated, leaving only the disheveled Menkel sitting on a high-backed chair waiting. When he saw the middle-aged general coming, he immediately stood up and hugged him. Hold your fists.

Following, both of them looked at each other and smiled.

The middle-aged general patted Menkel on the shoulder and laughed and said: "Brother Menkel, you are still a treasure trove!"

Menkel curled his lips proudly and replied confidently: "That's natural! I have already done everything according to the king's will. Now Guan Yubai probably thinks that he can do it easily without spending a single soldier. Take Zhongling City underground."

"Hahaha..." the middle-aged general laughed loudly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, "It turns out that a young general is nothing more than that!"

Menkel also sneered: "Maybe his father was just building momentum for him back then!"

In the memories of many Xiye people, the official language has long been deified, but they have forgotten that he is just a human being.

Thinking of the thin and sickly young man, a look of contempt flashed in Menkel's eyes, and then he asked: "Sires, how are you doing here?"

"Don't worry!" Sires raised his eyebrows proudly, "The people who laid the mines went to the Daye Valley yesterday. By tomorrow morning, the fire mines should be almost buried! By then, everything will be ready , I only owe the east wind!"

"Da Ye Valley is the only way to get here from Longmen City. If Guan Yubai wants to get to Zhongling City, he must take this road." A glint flashed in Menkel's eyes.

"That's good!" Sires said, stroking his palms, squinting slightly, and a fierce look flashed in his sharp eyes.

The Da Ye Valley stretches for several miles, and the widest part is only enough for three or four soldiers to walk side by side. If Guan Yubai's tens of thousands of troops want to pass there, it will be impossible for less than half an hour... By then, once they After detonating the fire and thunder in the mountain, Guan Yubai and his 50,000 Southern Xinjiang troops would never be able to escape!

The power of fire and thunder is as terrifying as the turning of an earth dragon. It cannot be stopped without human power. No matter how cunning and cunning Guan Yubai is, he cannot fly away!

This time, Guanyu will die in vain!

Sires and Menkel looked at each other with ambition in their eyes.

If Guanyu Bai, who had not even killed Emperor Dayu back then, died in their hands, it would really make one's heart itch to think about it.

Once this strategy succeeds, not only will the two of them take the lead, but their names will spread throughout the Western Night, and even go down in history!

Thinking of this, Menkel was already excited and excited.

Now everything just waits for tomorrow!

The night sky above Zhongling City was still dark, with only a few stars and moon.

Zhongling City stayed up all night long...it wasn't until the early morning when the moonlight gradually faded that someone came to report that the fire and thunder had been set.

At that moment, Menkel sent a confidant out of the city and rushed to the Daye Valley...

As time passed, the sky gradually turned white. Suddenly, a firework shot straight into the sky from the ground like an arrow, exploding into a bright firework in the gray sky and lighting up the sky above the valley.

This is the signal that Menkel and Guan Yubai agreed before leaving, which means everything is settled.

When the signal takes off, Guan Yubai's army will set off from Longmen City.

"The signal has been sent. In more than two hours, Guan Yubai and the southern Xinjiang army should arrive in the Daye Valley." Menkel, who was standing on the city wall, put down his clairvoyance and looked at Xi Xi next to him. Reis laughed.

"Then let's go back home and wait for the good news." Sires turned around first and walked down the stone steps.

Menkel glanced at the Great Valley again with a deep look, and followed closely behind the city wall.

After the two returned to the mansion, they sat in the hall drinking tea and waiting for news. They seemed to be relaxed, but they were restless in their hearts.

The first day is rising higher and higher, and the sky is getting brighter and brighter. Soldiers are coming in and out of the mansion, and from time to time someone comes to report:

"Clan Chief, Guan Yubai's army has set off from Longmen City at Chenshi!"

"Clan Chief, Guan Yubai's army arrived at Yizhong River at Sishi, still forty miles away from Daye Valley!"

"..."

"Clan Chief, Guan Yubai's army should be about to enter the Daye Valley!"

When they heard this report, both Sires and Menkel's eyes lit up, and they both stood up at the same time almost impatiently.

Sires greeted with a smile: "Brother Menkel, let's go, it's time for us to go see a good show."

At this moment, the sun outside has risen to the middle, and the surroundings are bright.

The two patriarchs strode out of the mansion, got on their horses, and galloped towards the south city gate.

Before they reached the city gate, they already felt the ground seem to shake slightly. Sires stopped his horse first and looked down, only to see the dust on the ground flying with the vibration of the ground. Then, soon, I heard a burst of muffled thunder in the sky, and the thunderous roar came continuously, so majestic that even the surrounding houses seemed to be shaking...

Sires and Menkel exchanged a look. They both knew that this was not an earth dragon turning over or a rolling thunder, but the fire thunder in the Great Ye Valley exploded, causing an earthquake!

"Great, the fire thunder has been detonated!" Menkel said with joy, stroking his hands and laughing, "This fire thunder is indeed worthy of its reputation! Even two years ago, the earth dragon in Tingwei City turned over and toppled half of the houses in the city. , it doesn’t have such power!” Finally, it was worthy of the man who spent all this time wagging his tail and begging for mercy to that mandarin!

Sires raised his head and laughed: "That's natural! This is a fire mine used to open mines, and its power has been doubled. It can even level a city to the ground with ease. This time, the official Yubai is dead!"

Speaking, Sires looked at Menkel and said, "Brother Menkel, you have made a great contribution this time!"

"Excuse me." Menkel clasped his fists and said politely, "If it weren't for my brother's fire and thunder, this matter wouldn't have been possible."

At this time, a Xiye soldier hurriedly ran over and reported to Sires: "Chief, 20,000 troops have been assembled and ready."

Sires responded and asked with great pride: "Brother Menkel, do you want to go with me to wipe out the remaining soldiers in southern Xinjiang?"

"That's natural!" Menkel said hurriedly, and then sneered, "Maybe I will be lucky enough to collect the body of the young general! What do you think if his whole body is presented to the king? ”

When he said this, Sires was also moved in his heart. What the king hated most in his life was the official family. If they could offer Guan Yubai's body, then their mission this time would be considered perfect!

Sires nodded in agreement: "Okay! Brother Menkel, today we will personally lead the troops to deal with the remaining troops in southern Xinjiang!"

The two exchanged glances, both in high spirits.

The military order was quickly passed down. The horns blared, the war drums rumbled, and the 20,000 Xiye army rushed out of the gate of Zhongling City with great momentum.

Wherever the twenty thousand soldiers passed, flags were flying and smoke was billowing.

After traveling for more than 20 miles, I saw smoke filling the valley ahead, like a large gray fog. I could only vaguely see the peaks on both sides in the "grey fog" Faintly...

The closer you get to the ground, the thicker the "fog" formed by the dust becomes. Everywhere you look, besides dust, there is still dust...

Looking at the completely different appearance of the Great Ye Valley from when he passed by it yesterday, Menkel felt that his mood was becoming more and more cheerful. Not only did he not slow down his horse, but he couldn't wait to throw himself into the embrace of the "grey mist" , and the army behind followed closely behind.

The floor of the valley is full of large and small rocks and gravel, which is not conducive to horses walking. The army immediately abandoned their horses and walked slowly through the dust and mist... The deeper they went into the valley, the thicker the surrounding dust and mist became, and the smell of smoke and gunpowder that hit their faces was the trace left by the explosion of fire and thunder...

But Menkel felt a thump in his heart, vaguely feeling that something was not right, and subconsciously slowed down his horse.

"Brother Menkel..."

Sires looked at Menkel in confusion. Before Menkel could speak, he heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" breaking through the air from all directions, and black iron arrows like a dense swarm of wasps pierced through the dust and mist. Shoot at them.

"Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of screams coming from behind, as well as the sound of soldiers falling to the ground, the sound of iron arrows hitting shields... Various sounds were mixed together, and the valley was suddenly in chaos!

Menkel's face was as dark as water. At this moment, he already knew something was wrong. There was no smell of blood nearby.

The fire and thunder detonated, and the boulders rolled down. If the Southern Xinjiang Army really fell into the trap, then even if the corpses were not at the entrance of the valley, they would have smelled the strong smell of blood coming with the wind.

However, it's too late!

The sound of iron arrows piercing the air was endless. More and more Xiye soldiers fell beside Sires and Menkel. The smell of blood around them became stronger and stronger, and the smell of smoke and gunpowder Mixed together, they create a nauseating smell.

Menkel hurriedly shouted: "We've been tricked! Retreat! Everyone, retreat to Zhongling City!"

Next, the valley was in chaos, surrounded by flying dust. It was impossible to see where the iron arrows were coming from. They could only blindly raise their shields to block the iron arrows flying from all directions.

This is a massacre!

The Western Night Army has absolutely no power to backhand, let alone any way to backhand. All they can do is block, escape, or leave this valley as quickly as possible and escape to a place with a broader view...

Amidst the chaos, the Western Night Army finally withdrew from the valley half an hour later, but thousands of iron arrows were still coming from behind...

The two clan leaders fled with less than 10,000 remaining soldiers. Even if they left the range of the iron arrow, they did not dare to relax.

They must return to Zhongling City as soon as possible and must not let the Southern Xinjiang Army catch up!

They must defend Zhongling City, otherwise they will be completely defeated!

In this anxious mood, Sires and Menkel were galloping ahead, thinking only of going faster! Hurry up!

I don’t know when the sun sets to the west, and the walls of Zhongling City appear on the horizon in the distance.

Sires and Menkel's faces were slightly relaxed. They pinched the horse's belly and whipped the horse hard. The horse's hooves galloped faster, followed closely behind by a group of messy cavalry, and behind them were The infantry of the large army has long been confused...

However, when they arrived less than a mile away from Zhongling City, Sires was the first to notice something was wrong.

He quickly reined in the horse's rope, and the brown horse under his crotch raised its front hooves high amid a neighing sound. Sires stared blankly at the top of the city wall and blurted out: "No! This is not me. The flag, this is not the flag of our Xizhuo tribe!"

The flag of his Xizhuo tribe is not silver-white!

Menkel's eyes widened as he suddenly thought of something.

"Impossible...This is absolutely impossible." Menkel murmured, and with almost trembling hands, he took out a clairvoyant from his arms and looked at the silver-white flag flying on the city wall. Look.

On the flag, the word "official" with flying dragons and phoenixes was reflected in his pupils through his clairvoyance.

"Guanyubai...it's really Guanyubai!"

Menkel was chanting absentmindedly, still looking at the word "official" on the flag, feeling as if he was in a never-ending nightmare.

At this moment, a majestic shout came from the direction of the city wall in front:

"Thank you to King Xiye for sending it to Zhongling City, but we are disrespectful!"

Thousands, no, maybe tens of thousands of voices overlapped together, shouting the same sentence repeatedly, each one louder than the other, like a waterfall flying down three thousand feet, causing people to be stunned for miles around. It was so shocking that it made people feel dizzy, as if they were in a dream.

This sentence was like thousands of steel needles piercing him. Menkel felt as if a mouthful of old blood was suffocating in his chest and his throat was sweet.

"How is this possible?!" His voice became hoarse unconsciously, and he gritted his teeth.

However, the facts were cruelly placed in front of them.

They fell into a trap!

It turns out that the trap in Da Ye Valley is just Guan Yubai's cover-up. His real purpose is to take advantage of the emptiness of Zhongling City and capture it with his army.

Neither Menkel nor Sires could figure it out. Guan Yubai could see through their fire and thunder plan, but how on earth did his army get around Zhongling City? !

How did Guan Yubai capture Zhongling City in less than a day? !

Although they took away 20,000 troops, there are still 10,000 troops in Zhongling City, and Zhongling City is easy to defend but difficult to attack...

However, they never got an answer.

They didn't even have time to say "withdraw" before they saw the black iron arrows symbolizing death coming towards them at high speed...

Menkel's eyes were astonished to the extreme, filled with unwillingness.

Why is this happening?

Could it be that Guan Yubai really has some divine help? !

Am I going to be buried here today?

No, he is not willing to give in!

Menkel grabbed a soldier beside him and tried to use him as a shield, but it was already too late.

"Whoosh..."

Several iron arrows arrived in an instant and shot through his head, neck, and chest almost simultaneously...

In just the blink of an eye, Menkel turned into a hedgehog with iron arrows stuck in it, and fell straight down from his horse, his bloodshot eyes wide open, and he refused to rest in silence!

Menkel, who was at the front of the queue, died, and so did Sires, but the iron arrows did not stop because of this, and were still falling like a torrential rain. The iron arrows were in the golden-red afterglow of the setting sun. Stained with a blood-like luster...

Murderous aura fills the air!
