Several people were talking.
Suddenly there was a noise outside the restaurant.
Someone screamed: "The barbarians are coming!"
The people were frightened and fled in panic. The restaurant that was crowded just now was suddenly empty.
Cen Tingbai's face changed slightly, he picked up the sword in his hand and walked out.
Xie Lingxi grabbed Jiang Rong's hand, protected her behind her and said, "Follow me closely."
"Yeah!" Jiang Rong held Xie Lingxi's hand tightly and followed him.
I was secretly surprised, could there be a barbarian rebellion this year?
She vaguely remembered the news about the war that year. After the barbarians were suppressed by the Zhennan Army, they surrendered and admitted defeat. The song looked very docile.
A sudden rebellion took the Belvedere garrison by surprise.
Next spring will be the first rebellion of the barbarians.
So what's going on this time?
Could it be that because he was reborn, many things were different from his previous life, so the rebellion was advanced?
Jiang Rong didn't understand for a moment what was the reason for this advance.
I left the restaurant with Xie Lingxi...
I saw barbarian soldiers everywhere on the streets.
Their goal was very clear, as if they knew where Cen Tingbai was and surrounded the restaurant from all directions.
"There are so many barbarians... Belvedere is well guarded. How did they get in?" Xiao Nanxing was shocked.
Belvedere, as a large city close to the barbarians...
The fortifications are excellent.
No matter how many barbarians there are, they should not be able to defeat them.
The barbarian leader was a dark-skinned man with a poisonous scorpion tattoo on his face. Without saying anything, he saw Cen Tingbai, Jiang Rong and others and said:
"Kill them!"
Cen Tingbai's eyebrows were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking of. He turned back to Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi and said:
"There is something wrong with the appearance of these people. Belvedere is no longer safe, you should get out of the city quickly!"
Those barbarians not only wanted to kill Cen Tingbai, but also Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi.
Chen Guangzong and Jingzhe, one on the left and the other on the right, protected Jiang Rong from retreating.
But there were too many barbarians.
Clusters of arrows were shot from all directions in the west.
Xie Lingxi no longer hid his clumsiness, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and waved an invisible sword shadow in front of Jiang Rong to block the incoming arrow clusters.
Cen Tingbai is fighting against the poisonous scorpion leader.
When Leng Buding saw the rumored dandy, he actually picked up the sword.
What use can that flashy sword do?
Just hide behind the frivolous dandy, don't rush out and cause trouble.
So as not to ejaculate into a sieve and make Jiang Rong sad.
But the next moment...
He saw the large sword shadow, like a shield, blocking Jiang Rong.
Such skill...
Xie Lingxi turned out to be a peerless master!
Cen Tingbai didn't pay much attention to Xie Lingxi.
Although he was on par with the poisonous scorpion leader, he couldn't stand the fact that there were too many barbarians around him who were firing cold arrows.
In the melee, Cen Tingbai was shot in the arm with an arrow.
Barbarians are best at using poison. Within a moment, Cen Tingbai's arm where the arrow was shot began to bleed with black and red blood.
The wound was dark purple.
His consciousness gradually became less clear.
……
Originally, it was Cen Tingbai who opened the way.
After he was hit by an arrow, his consciousness was in a trance, and he was almost hacked to death by the poisonous scorpion leader.
Xie Lingxi held Jiang Rong in one hand and held a long sword in the other to clear the way.
Only by protecting Jiang Rong behind him can he feel at ease.
The personal guard held the sword and carried the injured Cen Tingbai to the back.
Chen Guangzong and others guarded him from left to right.
Jingzhe led the secret guards to the rear.
In the midst of a fight of swords and swords.
The group of people hit and walked, and finally reached the city gate.
"I have some people outside the city. I can take care of them as long as I leave the city..." Cen Tingbai was carried on his back with a sword, and his conscious consciousness was about to disappear.
Holding on to a shred of reason.
But just when he was one step away from leaving the city.
Another "barbarian tribe" appeared.
Although this group of people were wearing the clothes of barbarian soldiers, they looked fake at first glance.
Because of totem worship among the barbarians, everyone has totem tattoos on their faces. The higher the status of a barbarian, the more tattoos they have on their face.
In Dachu, only those who have committed crimes will have their faces tattooed.
This group of barbarians all have fair faces without any tattoos.
Moreover, Cen Tingbai has fought with the barbarians for so many years. He knew exactly which barbarian tribe came from which village.
The barbarian tribe in the Poisonous Scorpion Village just now is the most numerous of the barbarian tribes.
But with their strength alone, it is absolutely impossible to break through Belvedere and break into the city.
Cen Tingbai had already suspected it.
Seeing this fake barbarian tribe at this time, he was even more sure. In Belvedere, there is an internal response from the barbarians.
"I can tell they are not barbarians, what's the use of pretending..." Xiao Nanxing couldn't help but complain when he saw the group of people in front of him.
Jiang Rong finally figured everything out:
"But if we die here, no one will know that they are not barbarians."
In his previous life, Cen Tingbai did not die from the barbarians, but from internal forces.
It's just that these inside information didn't come out because Cen Tingbai died.
The news reported to the court from Southern Xinjiang was that the barbarians attacked, the defense of Belvedere was breached due to oversight, and the Marquis of Jingnan died for his country.
In this beautiful city...
In addition to Cen Tingbai, the only person who could mobilize troops and horses was Zhennan deputy general Xun Han.
Today's Emperor is a monarch who understands the art of balance.
Daxia's territorial defense was never handed over to an army.
In the early years, the Xun Jiajun of Zhenguo Mansion and the Dong Jiajun of Yongan Marquis Mansion guarded southern Xinjiang together.
With the rise of Cen Tingbai.
The emperor transferred Marquis Yongning away, leaving only the Xun family army.
He and Cen Tingbai are constraining each other.
Therefore, there are actually two imperial armies in southern Xinjiang.
One is Cen Tingbai's Zhennan Army, and the other is the Xun Family Army led by Xun Han, the eldest son of Duke Zhen Guo.
"Cen Tingbai, you are unlucky. I originally planned to let you live a few more days, but two more people came to die." Xun Han, dressed in barbarian attire, rode forward and looked at Cen Tingbai and his party:
"Today, you all must die."
The Xun family did not want to see a new general emerge.
When the royal family used the Western Generals to suppress the Xie family, they achieved their glory.
Now the emperor supports new generals and suppresses the Western Generals...
The Xun family cannot allow it.
Moreover, Cen Tingbai's military success was based on their incompetence.
The Xun army had been unable to defeat the barbarians for many years, but Cen Tingbai completely suppressed them.
As Cen Tingbai's military exploits spread throughout the world, so did the Xun family's incompetence.
So the Xun family had been planning to kill Cen Tingbai since early in the morning.
Of course, these are never a good time. The emperor had just made him a marquis, and Cen Tingbai died. The emperor must have been furious.
A better time would be next year, before he goes to Beijing to report on his duties, to create an accident of barbarian rebellion.
But Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong are here!
A message came from the Xun family, asking Xun Han to take action in advance and leave them all behind.
Cen Ting's white eyes were solemn. Today, it looks like he is going to die here.
But the next moment...
A well-equipped secret guard appeared on the streets of Western Zhou Dynasty and rushed over. They guarded Xie Lingxi and others.
"Where are you hiding this person?" Xun Han was shocked.
He had already found out how many manpower Cen Tingbai had and made arrangements in advance.
All his elite guards in the city have been dealt with.
Why did another secret guard appear?
