Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Everyone held unlit tung oil torches in their hands.

The Goguryeo soldiers in the military camp over there did not realize that danger was quietly approaching under the cover of night.

A group of people sneaked over there quickly with rustling sounds.

On the other side, Li Kuan and Cheng Yaojin, after cleaning up several corpses, had already entered the gate of the treasury.

"Li Kuan, get out of the way! Let me do it!"

The two men stopped in front of a tightly locked room. The old goblin looked at the big padlock that looked very sturdy, picked up his axe, and looked eager to try.

"Ding!"

The axe collided with the lock, making a crisp sound.

Even though the old demon was extremely powerful and every move he made was a killing move, the lock remained intact.

"Um...what's going on?"

The old witch felt a little embarrassed when she saw this, because Li Kuan was watching them from the side.

Why is my Bagua Xuanhua Axe so useless today?

"Old witch, can you do it? If not, let me do it."

"Don't waste time."

Li Kuan crossed his arms and looked at the old witch with a teasing expression.

"Sure! Of course! Another blow and it will break!"

How could the old goblin give in? He swung his axe and chopped down again.

"Qiang!"

The lock made a mournful sound and a gap appeared on it, but it still showed no sign of cracking or breaking.

Li Kuan shook his head and ignored Cheng Yaojin.

He jumped up and kicked a potted plant nearby. Then he jumped up high.

As light as a swallow!

In mid-air, he kicked towards the corner of the wall one by one, using the force to continue flying towards the roof.

But the old demon did not notice that Li Kuan behind him was still missing.

"What on earth is in here? This big lock! This big chain! I'm afraid it's not simple!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes sparkled as he wielded his axe tirelessly.

Li Kuan, who was on the roof, pried open a few tiles and made a hole large enough for one person to enter.

Without hesitation, he put away his weapon and jumped down. In mid-air, he slapped the beam with one hand to relieve the force, and then landed gently on the ground without making any loud noise.

"Who invented this big lock? It really makes me tired!"

Outside the door, the old demon had sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was very tired.

However, the big lock in front of him was about to break into two.

He put down the axe, pressed the lock with both hands and twisted it hard. Finally, the lock broke into two pieces under the weight.

"Squeak-"

Suddenly, a sound came from the door.

"who!"

The old goblin was startled. Why was there any movement inside?
Could it be that their plan was exposed? Are there a large number of people waiting inside? He suddenly became nervous, raised his axe very vigilantly, and stared at the black shadow inside.

"Li Kuan! The wind is blowing!"

The old goblin's nerves were tense. After waiting for a while and seeing no response from inside, he turned around and wanted to ask Li Kuan to leave.

However, when he turned around, he found that there was no one there and Li Kuan had already disappeared.

"Old goblin, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, the door behind the old goblin opened.

Cheng Yaojin did not wait for a fierce attack, but heard Li Kuan's voice.

"When did you go in, kid?"

The old goblin widened his eyes. He had been tinkering outside for a long time, but Li Kuan had already gone in.

Aren't you just trying to make people angry to death?

"I saw you were enjoying the chopping so much that I didn't bother you. Don't you think it's better to use wits than to act recklessly?"

Li Kuan turned back, and only a calm and gentle voice reached the old goblin's ears.

"Humph! You kid! Just wait! I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later!"

When the old witch saw Li Kuan like this, he was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"How is it? Is there anything good in it?"

The next second, thinking of their purpose this time, he threw everything that had just happened behind him and walked in impatiently.

As soon as I walked in, everything I saw was golden!
On the left side of the huge room, there were a dozen large open boxes filled with gold!
On the right side, there are several piles of jewels like small mountains!

A jewel of jewels!
"What are these? Just these broken things?"

The old goblin searched several times, and the disappointment on his face became more and more intense.

Although he was also very envious of the gold, silver and jewelry, no matter how nice the jewelry and gold were, the two of them could not take them away this time!
It would be better to get some rare treasures!
"Isn't there a treasure over there that looks pretty good? Just take it. As a man, you should be content with what you have."

Li Kuan looked at the somewhat dejected old witch, shook his head gently, and pointed at the jewels on the ground over there and said.

"Forget it, just take it back and give it to that loser at home."

The old goblin looked unhappy, but his body was very urbane. He found a big bag from somewhere and started putting jewels into it.

A quarter of an hour later, the huge treasury and the government office next to it were engulfed in flames!
Thick black smoke rose into the sky and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding buildings.

at the same time,

The armory in the west of the city and the grain depot also caught fire!

The fire in the yamen complemented the fire, making the dark night brighter and adding a bit of warmth.

"There's a fire! Come put it out!"

The defenders in the city reacted quickly, but the fire had already completely engulfed several buildings, and they could only watch as the fire grew more and more intense.

Such a huge domestic city was suddenly turned into chaos!

"Who is it! Stop!"

Near the government office, among the large group of people who came to put out the fire, someone noticed two suspicious figures rushing past, one of them was carrying a large cloth bag that looked very heavy!
"Stop! Stop!"

"Get 'em! Get 'em!"

The team reacted and started chasing in the direction the two figures left.

"You old witch, you almost killed me! I asked you to take a few things, but you filled a whole bag! You stuffed more into the bag even though you couldn't even carry it!"

In a hidden corner, Li Kuan, who had gotten rid of the pursuers behind him, glared at the old demon fiercely.

Although he was not afraid of the pursuers behind him, he didn't want to cause any trouble. "Uh... it's a pity to burn these things like this... Besides, my family is poor... I'll take some back to supplement the family expenses..."

Cheng Yaojin knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to refute loudly. He just muttered quietly to the side.

"Alright! Let's go back quickly! Seeing the fire rising in the west of the city, I think Gao Shun and his men have succeeded. Let's go back and meet up with them and leave the city as soon as possible."

Li Kuan glared at him again, and then said unhappily.

The two of them didn't linger for long and disappeared into the night.

In the west of the inner city, Gao Shun only brought about twenty brothers with him, while most of the soldiers stayed in the courtyard.

After the group succeeded, they could have just left.

But when they were leaving, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp saw several soldiers bullying women.

Everyone was full of vigor and vitality, and they took action immediately to kill several people.

Unexpectedly, the military camp stationed nearby reacted quickly and the group was immediately exposed!
Although Gao Shun led his brothers to kill and slay along the way, many soldiers wanted to escape as quickly as possible, but they were still entangled.
"You want to leave safely after burning down the grain warehouse? You're dreaming! Do you really think that the hundreds of brothers under my command are dead?"

A large number of soldiers swarmed in, about five hundred people. The leader came out and spoke condescendingly to Gao Shun and others.

"Get into a defensive stance! Charge out! Don't fight!"

Gao Shun ignored the man and instead called on his brothers to charge.

Even though there are only 500 people on the field, if they get entangled, more people will surely come later, and it will be difficult for them to get away then.

"Humph! You bold lunatic! How dare you ignore me! Brothers! Attack! Leave no one alive!"

Among the Goguryeo soldiers, the leader became furious when he saw Gao Shun ignored him.

Upon hearing this, a group of Goguryeo soldiers swarmed forward and surrounded Gao Shun and others.

But Gao Shun would never sit still and wait for death!
Every soldier in the Xianzhen Camp is a good fighter!
In just a moment, dozens of Goguryeo soldiers lay on the ground!
"Captain, this is a tough guy, what should we do?"

A group of Goguryeo soldiers waved their swords and looked at Gao Shun and others who were covered in blood, but they hesitated and dared not approach.

No one wants to be the first to stand out at this time. Your life is at stake!
"Those holding spears and lances, come forward, those holding swords, retreat to the back."

The captain looked at himself and the soldiers who fell one after another, and after a moment's silence, he said,
As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger!

In this situation, weapons such as spears and lances are more effective than great force!
You can use your strengths to secretly attack the opponents from a distance and reduce the chances of your own people being killed or injured.

"careful!"

After changing to spears and lances, Gao Shun and others' charging speed slowed down a lot.

Suddenly, a soldier cried out in surprise and leaped in front of Gao Shun.

A Goguryeo soldier, holding a spear in his hand, took advantage of Gao Shun's unpreparedness and stabbed him in the back.

"puff--"

The spear penetrated the soldier's body and pierced his left shoulder.

"Brother! You are looking for death! Go to hell!"

Gao Shun reacted, but when he turned around, the brother beside him had already suffered serious injuries.

His eyes turned blood red in an instant, and boundless rage instantly took over his head!

He helped the seriously injured soldier onto the back of another soldier, and then stared at the Goguryeo soldier holding a spear.

"No, it's none of my business... I didn't mean to do that... He rushed over here on his own."

The murderous cold eyes frightened the Goguryeo soldier so much that even though there were many of his own people around him, he still retreated again and again with fear in his eyes!
He felt dazed, as if he had been targeted by the god of death and was trapped in a situation where he was doomed to die!
"die!"

Gao Shun ignored him, drew his sword, turned around and chopped at him.

There were many Goguryeo soldiers present, but none of them dared to step forward to stop them.

A great head flew up into the sky! Died with eyes wide open!
"Don't be afraid! They are already injured! Keep going! They won't be able to hold on any longer!"

When the Goguryeo captain saw his men dead, there was no trace of pity in his eyes. Instead, he was extremely excited about the injuries of Gao Shun's brothers.

"If we can kill these people or capture them alive, it will be another great achievement!"

He looked at Gao Shun and the others with some excitement, as if he was looking at a group of moving military meritorious officers.

A fire in the grain warehouse? The death of his ordinary soldiers? He didn't care! He only cared about his own promotion!

not far away,
The two soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp who were on guard were looking at the situation over there anxiously.

"No! I have to go up and rescue them!"

The thin soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp had anxious expressions on their faces. They couldn't just stand there and watch their brothers in danger!
"Calm down! What can you change by going up there? You should go back and tell His Majesty as soon as possible! Only then can he save our brothers!"

Another soldier at the side grabbed his shoulders to stop him and shouted in front of him.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Let's go back to find His Majesty! He will definitely be able to save them!"

The thin soldier nodded repeatedly as if awakened from a dream.

In the inner city, in a courtyard in the east of the city.

"Your Majesty, General Cheng, are you back?"

Pei Min, who stayed in the yard to be in charge of mobile support, saw Li Kuan and the other man coming back and went to greet them.

"General Cheng, your bag looks heavy. What's in it?"

Pei Min suddenly saw Cheng Yaojin, who was carrying a large cloth bag on his back, and approached him with some curiosity.

"Hey, don't have any bad ideas, kid! Stay away from it."

The old demon quickly walked to the side, avoiding Pei Min, holding his big cloth bag with a look of great taboo.

"Um...is this thing so important?"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's reaction, Pei Min frowned and muttered.

However, the more Cheng Yaojin acted like this, the more Pei Min couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"Pei Min, why haven't Gao Shun and the others come back yet?"

Li Kuan was just about to tell everyone to pack up and prepare to leave Guonei City when he discovered that Gao Shun was not there.

"Your Majesty, Gao Shun and more than 20 of his brothers have not returned yet. Perhaps they are on their way back now."

Pei Min didn't think much about it and just thought that Gao Shun and the others were delayed on the road because of something.

"They should be back by now, why are they nowhere to be seen? Even if something delayed them, Gao Shun is not the kind of person who would leave things unsaid."

Li Kuan frowned, suddenly feeling that things might not be as simple as they had expected.

"Why don't I go to Chengxi to look for them and see what happened to them?"

Hearing what Li Kuan said, Pei Min also frowned. It would be bad if something went wrong with Gao Shun and the others this time.

"Go quickly and come back soon! If there is nothing else, bring them back as soon as possible!"

Li Kuan nodded slightly. There was no news about Gao Shun and more than 20 brothers, so they should be sent in to check.

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
