Chapter 157 Sneak Attack on the City Gate
Zhang Jun is the school lieutenant guarding the west gate of the imperial capital, and he is in charge of all the city defense forces above and below the gate.At this time, he was eating sliced ​​beef and drinking wine with a few soldiers under his command.

In the past few days, because of the preliminaries in the imperial capital, the city defense has actually been relaxed, but Zhang Jun would not dare to be so blatant in pulling everyone to drink and eat meat during his rotation.But today's qualifiers are coming to an end, and the city defense will start to tighten up from tomorrow, and they will start working hard again.Zhang Jun thought about it for a while and was really upset, so he simply indulged secretly on the last night of this festival-like day.

"You guys, you can eat more meat, and take your time with this wine." Zhang Jun glanced at his confidants and warned.He was quite cautious and didn't let everyone drink too much. If he got drunk and was caught by the patrolling Shangfeng, he would be punished.

"Boss, don't worry, you won't miss anything!" Gou Er stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, took another sip of wine, and said, "This stall is over, what else can we do?"

"Gou Er's words are reasonable." Another soldier echoed, "I think it's okay for everyone to take a nap later, you just need to take turns to let one person guard the point, and wake up the others when someone comes. People will do."

"You kid!" Zhang Jun gave him a shudder with a smile, but he didn't veto his proposal.

He is alone, he wants money, no money, no backstage, no backstage, he has been squatting here at the west city gate for almost four years, except for relying on his seniority to be a school captain who sounds like a prestige, he has nothing. Look at the door.

Moreover, in the past few years, the city defense army has been very strict in controlling the entry and exit of the imperial capital. Zhang Jun dare not let people in and out of the city to fish for oil and water at will.Fortunately, it is the city defense army after all, and the military salary is not low, otherwise the beef and small wine would not be able to eat at all.

Just when Zhang Jun clapped his hands and got up, and was about to go to his small room to rest for a while, Gou Er suddenly pointed to the sky in the north of the imperial capital and shouted: "Look, boss, someone is actually setting off fireworks."

Zhang Jun turned around and looked up, blinked before smiling and said: "That's a fart firework, that's a signal flare! Look at the shape of a horse formed by the signal flare in the air, which means it's the signal flare of the Li family in Tianji City. "

"Boss, you really know a lot." Gou Er complimented him as he swallowed the sliced ​​beef in his mouth.

"That's not true." Zhang Jun smiled smugly, "This is what my captain told me back then. He is now in the position of lieutenant general in the Sixth Army."

"But... why did the Li family's signal flare appear in the city? Looking at the direction, it seems to be the north side of the city." Gou Er asked casually, and took another sip of wine, which was too beautiful for him.

But this stopped Zhang Jun from asking.He froze for a moment, and then said: "Aren't there many people in the Li family participating in the competition, maybe they suddenly want to gather temporarily? Hey, why worry about things so far away from us. Let's guard our city gates and take care of them." What do they do..." As he spoke, he had already walked towards his private room.

At the same time, in the palace.

Concubine Xuan came to the Holy Envoy sitting on a dragon chair with a stack of information, bowed and handed over the information with both hands: "Holy Envoy, all the information about Li Jin is here."

"It's very fast." The envoy raised his hand, and the stack of information floated into his hand.Seeing that Concubine Xuan was still standing there, he asked aloud, "Is there anything else?"

"That's right. Just now, my subordinates received a report from the city defense army that someone from the Li family fired a signal bomb near the north of the city. The reason is that my subordinates ordered people to investigate." Xuan Guifei replied.

"Flare? North of the city? Isn't it the central square?" There was also a trace of doubt in the voice of the envoy, "Shouldn't the Li family still be in the arena at this time?"

"Most of them are there, but just now one or two people left first, and the signal flare went up in the sky not long after."

"What are you doing?" The envoy stood up, "The signal flare is probably intended to gather people. Could it be that we want these people in the central square to go to the north of the city? Or, there are other people in the Li family in the city that we haven't discovered yet? "

"It doesn't seem like it. But the subordinates don't understand what the Li family's move is. If they really hid it from us and sent someone else to sneak into the imperial capital, why did they expose it now? And what is their purpose? According to As far as the subordinates know, the Li family has never sent spies to lurk in the imperial capital." Concubine Xuan was also full of doubts, and she even wondered if someone from the Li family mishandled the signal flare, or if the signal flare was not from the Li family at all. dispatched.

The envoy was silent for a while, still unable to figure out the joint.In fact, as long as they didn't discover the dragon cavalry army outside the city, they might not be able to figure out the Li family's intentions even if they scratched their heads.

"Where are the others in Wannian?" The envoy could only ask.

"I'm dealing with Xiao Yiming." Guifei Xuan replied, with a hint of regret in her tone.

"Order him to send more people to solve it quickly, and another person to check what's going on with this flare."

"Follow the Holy Order."

------

Under the west gate of the imperial capital, the two guards at the gate remained the same, checking and registering those who were about to enter and leave the city.Zhang Jun had already returned to his small single room, while Gou Er, who was unlucky to win the lottery, stood guard on the city gate, and all the brothers beside him slept against the city wall.

At this time, a group of young people came from the city and stopped at the gate of the city.

"What are you doing? If you want to go out of the city, you have to queue up and register. What are you doing?" A guard glanced at the young people and shouted suspiciously.

"My lord, why are you guys guarding the city gate?" A young man came out of the crowd, with a vague smile on his lips, and asked.

"Hey, you are quite lenient." The guard glared, counted the number of people on the other side secretly, stepped back a little and returned to the guards, and then continued to yell, "How many people do you care about me?" Guard the city gate. Hurry up if you want to leave the city, and get out if you don’t leave the city, don’t hang around in front of the master, I’m upset to see it!”

"I just like your character." The young man smiled slightly when he heard the words, "Even if he hits a little harder later, he won't blame himself too much."

"What?" The guard didn't hear clearly, to be precise, he didn't understand what the young man said.

And the young man quickly made him understand what he meant.He made a hands-on gesture, and everyone's chests flashed with light, some soul pets appeared and rushed over, while some people jumped up the steps of the city gate tower with their momentum suddenly increased.

Spiritual energy fluctuations emerged layer by layer, and the colorful attacks directly greeted the guards under the city gate.The guards were caught off guard, and four of them were knocked down in an instant. Among the remaining few, someone finally reacted: "Enemy attack! Close the city gate and ring the alarm bell for help!"

Then, he was also thrown to the ground.

The gate of the city was not closed, and the people who were queuing up to enter the city scattered and fled in all directions, but many people rushed into the imperial capital directly.

The young man glanced around, and found that there was no sign of the city defense army downstairs at the city gate, and he was still a little disappointed: "Didn't you say that the security is tight, why can't you help to fight... You guys, guard the passage to the city gate. You guard the city gate, and go nearby to find out where the current city defense army is patrolling. The rest of the people follow me to the gate tower to clean up the remaining miscellaneous fish. Remember to destroy the city defense weapons and the ropes of the moat suspension bridge first. Also, Don't pay special attention to their request for help, our goal is to attract firepower, the more reinforcements come, the better. Let's act now!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the group quickly started to split up.The young man rushed up to the city gate tower with his own people, and was a little dazed for a while when he found that the stairs leading upstairs had been cleared away.so smooth?
In fact, after the first group of people who rushed to attack the city gate upstairs came up, they saw some city defense troops still leaning against the wall, looking like they were just waking up from a dream, and there were many low-level pet masters among them, so they just went upstairs The crowd kindly let them continue to sleep.But Gou Er, who was the only one standing, was just an ordinary person, and was soon held around the neck by two knives.

At this time, the sound of "enemy attack" came up.In some rooms, someone rushed out when they heard the noise, and soon became a group with the people who attacked the city gate.But the ordinary people among them were soon brought down, and the number and strength of the remaining pet masters of the city defense army were at an absolute disadvantage, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Gou Er tremblingly looked at the young man: "You, who are you? Forgive, forgive—"

"I'm Li Xiao. But you must have never heard of it." The young man, that is, Li Xiao walked up to Gou Er, sniffed it slightly, frowned and said, "So you guys have been drinking secretly, no wonder... who is the leader here?" Son?"

"Boss..." Gou Er hesitated when he heard the words.But Li Xiao was impatient, and waved his hand directly: "Kill it."

"The boss is in his room, that's the one." Gou Er pointed to the door of Zhang Jun's small room and said quickly.

Li Xiao pouted at the brothers beside him, signaling to send some people to arrest Zhang Jun.But he himself gave Gou Er a cold look, and said, "This is how I sold my boss... tie one leg and hang him from the city gate." Then, Gou Er wailed and was dragged down .

Several soul pets had just approached the door of Zhang Jun's room, but the door suddenly opened wide, and a sharp blade formed by spiritual power first greeted everyone outside the door, and then a figure flashed out and fled directly into the city.

Seeing this, Li Xiao didn't speak, but looked around the city gate.He also did not participate in the elimination of the remaining imperial pet master city defenders, but destroyed some fortifications one by one, and completely cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge so that they could no longer be pulled up.And these things haven't been dealt with yet, Zhang Jun, who was tied up by five flowers, has been escorted up.

Li Xiao, who reconfirmed that the overall situation of the city gate has been decided, looks strange.Didn't it mean that the gates of the imperial capital were heavily guarded and it was difficult to be stolen? Why didn't I find it difficult at all?

At this time, Li Jin, who came late at this time, heard Li Xiao's question, and immediately smiled: "When we observed here, we found that the number of imperial pet masters stationed here is equal to our total, and there will be more at any time." There will be reinforcements from the city defense army coming, so it is natural for us to be heavily guarded."
