When we arrived at the gate of Luoyang City, snow began to fall again. The torches on the city wall illuminated the darkness. From a distance, we could see big stars, melting and haloing. The individual snowflakes looked enchanting and graceful when approaching, and finally fell into the light.

A group of troops had been stationed at the gate of the city since the afternoon, and until sunset, the Western Mountains were waiting for the Western Barbarian troops to respond.

A tall man wearing a scarlet cloak and black armor stood at the torch. His eyebrows were cold and serious, and there was a deep scar from the center of his eyebrow to the corner of his left eye. Half of his eyes were blind, and the remaining eye stared into the gloomy night.

And calm.

This person is Chen Suishen, a rising star of the Chen family with considerable prestige, and one of Chen Bo's younger nephews.

The cold night was biting to the bone and made people's hair stand on end, but the people he brought did not dare to act arbitrarily. They all held axes in their hands with a stern attitude and stood guard in front of the city wall with green and white faces.

From time to time, they heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps, and the soldiers on guard on the tower waved torches and shouted downstairs. Knowing that the arrival was the team they were waiting for, Chen Suishen waved his coat and hurried forward to greet them.

The darkness gradually became clear, and it was the Centenarian and his entourage who came with a strong back and a strong back.

As soon as the two met, Centennial Man punched his chest, opened his bearded mouth, and said in a voice like thunder: "!@*&^%,$@!"

Translation:Long time no see, my friend.

Chen Suishen's dry and cold face showed a hint of smile as he stepped forward and clasped his fists: "@%@$*,$@!"

Translation: Xiong Da, long time no see, my friend.

The two of them chatted and laughed for a while in front of the crowd, and then Chen Suishen's team led the way to welcome them into the city. Before entering the city, Centennial Man deliberately looked in the direction of Chen Baiqi and Ju in the team and spoke.

Chen Suishen also looked at him. There was nothing strange on his face. He still smiled and patted Centenary's arm, and the two of them entered the city together.

After entering the city, the horses' hooves clattered against the bluestone slabs, the lights of the streets on both sides were dim and yellow, the green bamboo silk music was endless, the snow was flying, and the fragrant wind followed the gauze smoke. This confusing and yellow street scene made the barbarian troops entering the city gradually relax.

I slowed down my steps, looked around, and thought longingly.

Luoyang City, which has ten miles of bead curtains and is filled with gold powder, is different from other cities that are solemn and cold. As soon as you enter the city, you will be dazzled by a thick scent of pink and white powder.

Knowing the nature of men, especially a group of energetic marching men, Chen Suishen generously took them to the building to greet them, raised a cup and drank deeply, and the delicious food penetrated his intestines, making him drunk and dreaming.

In this way, everyone was drunk and slept till the end, which made it easier for Chen Bai to explore the Royal City of Luoyang at night.

That night, Chen Baiqi changed her outfit. In order to distinguish herself from the "Sister-in-law Rong" in her usual life, she changed into a man's clothing, washed her face in jet black, covered her face and sneaked in at night.

Luoyang's palaces and palaces are orthodox and independent from the city. They have red walls and green tiles. Although they are not as grand as the newly built Chu Palace, after taking a tour, you will find that the interior decoration is extremely luxurious and has a rich history.

After the "regional map" - Luoyang Royal City was downloaded, Chen Baiqi became invisible and followed Chen Suishen into the palace.

Chen Suishen didn't notice anything and went into the palace to see the king of Zhou without any attendants.

The king of Zhou is lying majestic like a mountain behind a curtain, his voice is old and long, the incense cauldron in the palace is dim with smoke, a few tree lanterns are lit next to it, his staff Pang Cheng and the general are standing beside him, half of their bodies are in shadow.

It was pale, and the entire hall was empty and silent, just like an old wasteland.

After Chen Suishen knelt down and bowed, he started discussing business matters with his superiors. This time, he just brought up old matters again and discussed the details again.

Chen Baiqi was outside the palace gate and sent the puppet beast Xiao Zhi inside to eavesdrop. After a moment, she finally clarified the content of their conversation.

When she learned that this trip to Luoyang to borrow food was another ambush trap, she found that she was already calm.

It started as a series of plans. First, they made a noise on the red earth Buddha Cliff and attracted the people behind the attack. If the plan failed, they deliberately used the plan to lure the remaining troops of the Qi army on the pretext of borrowing food, waiting to capture them all.

Queen, use this to threaten the allies. If the allies are willing to separate and retreat in exchange for the safety of King Qi, they can severely damage the morale of the Qin and Wei troops. If they refuse, they will be condemned and scolded by the world for betraying the alliance's morality, and they will even join forces with Qi.

The country was completely divided.

In addition to the serial plan, they also had a set of golden cicadas to escape from their shells. As she expected, the grain carts, old soldiers and new weapons borrowed from Luoyang, bronze armored stomachs, etc. were divided into three batches and three routes. Two were fake and one was real.

At present, no one here knows when the bus will depart and which route it will take. Only the person responsible for the final escort knows.

"I heard that you lost the Yunan military map. If this happens, wouldn't it be easy for Wei to capture the three cities in Yunan?" Pang Cheng, an aide, said worriedly.

If Yunan is captured, Luoyang's surroundings will be like losing a broken shield. If the Allies intend to swallow up Luoyang as well, then their royal city will be really in danger.

Chen Sui raised his neck deeply, and his face as cold as a knife showed a bit of sneer: "Yes, the military defense map of Chongqing was stolen by Wei thieves, but his son, Zihuang, thought that he could easily capture Chongqing, but it was a fool's errand.

, just because once he takes action, then..."

Just as Chen Baiqi was listening intently, he suddenly heard a soft and pleasant voice coming from behind him: "I wonder where this visitor is here late at night?"

Chen Baiqi's back stiffened and he turned his head suddenly.

Under the cold moonlight, I saw a man wearing a wide robe and dark clothes standing under the colonnade. His hair was tied up and his face was in shadow. Only a beautiful and soft chin was exposed in the snow light.

The wind blew slowly, and his broad robe embroidered with clouds and billows rolled up, his slender waist and long body stood tall and straight, as if he was floating in the air.

Chen Baiqi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously wanted to leave.

"Now that you're here, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

She hesitated in her steps, frowned and pursed her lips, not believing in evil thoughts: she had used the "mist world" to hide herself, and it was impossible for anyone to discover her.

But in fact, she was overconfident, and the next moment she saw a golden-tipped spear piercing her position.

Her eyes were wide open, and she ducked sideways, and the sound of wind from the spear cut off a strand of her hair like a sharp sickle.

Chen Baiqi stared at the strand of hair on the ground for a moment.

Looking up again, he saw a young man wearing soft leather armor and holding a golden gun standing next to the man. The young man's face was dull, but the green "slave" brand on his face was memorable at a glance.

Already.

Slaves in this era were not valuable. Although they were a life, once the word "slave" was printed on it, they were only equivalent to an item, and the value of this item came from the charity of its owner.

When ordinary people bought slaves, in order to avoid damaging their appearance, they would leave marks on their arms or backs, and few would put them on their faces.

At this time, the people discussing in the palace also heard the noise outside, and they all rushed out in surprise.

"Although I don't know where this guest came from, but since he is here, why not stay and be a guest, let us fulfill our friendship as landlords." The ethereal voice came from nowhere like green bamboo blowing in the wind.

.

Chen Baiqi realized that the other party was not an ordinary person, and waved his arms to make the illusory figure leave, but saw the golden gun coming again like a shadow. She retreated repeatedly until the golden gun pierced the stone bricks under her feet, restraining her on the spot and unable to move.

This person... his marksmanship is really exquisite. Even if he is facing the void, he can accurately judge her every move.

"You don't need to test anymore. Although I can't see you, your whereabouts can't be hidden from my ears, and as long as you move, you can't be faster than Da's gun." The young voice is very ethereal and beautiful, like a gun.

The score plays pleasant music.

She never saw the face of the speaker, but Chen Baiqi had an inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart. She stared at them intently. Through what she just said, she understood that they couldn't see her at all and only judged her location through hearing.

That being the case...

She removed the "Mist Realm" with a wave of her arm, wearing a black cloth mask, revealing a pair of eyes as bright as the stars. She clasped her fists and said gracefully: "In that case, I don't need to do anything more."

When they first saw her appearing out of thin air, Chen Suishen, Pang Cheng and others who came out of the palace were shocked.

"Who are you? How dare you sneak into our royal city late at night!" Pang Cheng exclaimed with trembling fingers.

Chen Baiqi turned his head and looked back at him, with malice spreading like a black marsh in his eyes: "I am here to assassinate King Zhou!"

"What?! Come here, come quickly and catch the assassin!" Pang Cheng looked shocked, raised his arms and shouted.

The general also shouted loudly: "Come quickly to protect us!"

At this time, thunderous footsteps sounded in front, and hundreds of soldiers rushed towards the main hall.

At this time, Chen Baiqi curled his lips and smiled, regaining his innocence.

"Good hearing? What if you are in such a noisy and crowded environment?"

Chen Baiqi took a step forward, and people crowded up the long steps. Her figure bumped into the crowd, but when the crowd raised their swords, they turned into gold powder, and finally disappeared.

"Master!" Da clenched the golden gun in his hand.

The man stretched out his hand to block him: "This person is not only cunning and cunning, but he has already developed a countermeasure in a short period of time. Now that she has blended into the soldiers, she will probably be lost in the sea and be difficult to find."

The young man from Nuyin asked: "Master, can you tell where it comes from?"

The man was silent for a while.

At this time, the guards of the royal city at the bottom of the long steps exclaimed in confusion.

"What's going on?!"

"I just saw someone clearly, why did he suddenly disappear?"

"Assassin, where did the assassin just go?" The general also looked furious.

Pang Cheng's legs weakened and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chen Suishen helped him.

"Weird, weird things, people, how could people..."

There were noisy and frightening sounds in his ears, but the man's heart was still as peaceful as the starry sky. He stepped out of the shadows, took out a curtain hat with his hand behind his back, and put it on, looking through the black gauze.

Looking in the direction that the masked man left just now.

"If we don't get rid of this person, I'm afraid it will cause... disaster."

"Master, if Da sees this person again next time, he will never be allowed to survive under a gun!"
