"General Yang!" Xia Junmao hurriedly advised, "These are all civilians, please don't kill them indiscriminately!"

"Indiscriminate killing? Is Xia Duwei scared by the war, or is he suddenly kind?" Yang Zhong asked with a bright face, "Being kind to the enemy on the battlefield is cruel to his army. As a soldier, do you still need this general to remind you of this? If I don't take action, when will Xia Duwei be entangled with these chaotic people? If you delay the plan to destroy Hu, how should you explain to His Highness King Yu!"

"All those who blocked my Liang army will be killed without any reservation!" Gu Hongxuan ordered loudly with red eyes. Under Yang Zhong's leadership, Wugong Guards cut and slashed all the way, and soon they cleaned up all the obstacles. They no longer waited for the Han Dao Guards and continued to run towards the imperial city.

"General Yang, Commander Gu is not so bloodthirsty. Could it be that the battle in the city was too fierce?" Xuan Shaoning still believed that this sudden change must have been caused by the war. The reality did not give him more time to think about it. Xia Junmao had already ordered the Han Dao Guard to follow Yang Zhong's troops.

Since Yang Zhong opened the way forward, he had never encountered any kind of resistance along the way. Liang army successfully arrived at the imperial city. The expected guards of the imperial city were nowhere to be seen at this moment. Everyone who planned to continue the fierce battle also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Donghu really put the whole country in resistance, and even the imperial guards in the imperial city were sent out!" Xia Junmao gave his own analysis, "You must still be careful of the traps. The Donghu people were too cunning and rushed into the imperial city to capture Cheya Shanyu alive!"

The size of Donghu Imperial City is only the size of a back garden in Daliang Imperial City. Entering the main gate of the Imperial City is the main hall built on the 19th stairs. After the main hall, there are four imperial palaces of different sizes. They are arc-shaped and circled with the main hall as the starting point and end point. The center of the circle is a lake.

At this moment, the imperial city was already in chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs ran around like headless flies. When they saw Liang Jun rushing into the imperial city, they were so scared that they threw away their gold and silver utensils, jade calligraphy and paintings and other palace collections, and fled with their heads.

Gu Hongxuan jumped off his horse and grabbed an eunuch and asked, "Where is Shanyu?"

The eunuch was so scared that his face was pale, his whole body was soft, his lips were trembling, and he stammered and replied: "Shanyu...goes...towards...that...." He reached out and pointed to the inner palace. Gu Hongxuan shook the eunuch away and looked at Yang Zhong, obviously looking at him inquiring eyes.

Yang Zhong said: "Don't believe it easily. The troops were divided into three groups. Gu Hongxuan led people from the east and Xia Junmao went west. The rest of the people followed me to search from the main hall. We must capture Cheya Shanyu alive!"

"Hi!" Gu Hongxuan took half of the Wugong Guard, Xia Junmao took the Han Dao Guard, and Yang Zhong started searching around the imperial city with his other half. Xuan Shaoning entered the first palace from the west of the main hall, rather than a palace, it was an altar. The middle of the high platform was made of stones of various colors, with five layers, and eleven, nine, five, three, and one head displayed from the bottom to the top. Each skeleton was painted golden yellow, and the two empty eye sockets were inlaid with gems similar to the eye socket. At midnight, the faint luster flashing under the dark night made people feel tight.

Standing on the high ground of the altar, you can see the huge palace in your eyes. Xie Yu was the first to discover clues in the chaotic palace. "Look, the palace at the farthest part of the lake is the brightest!" Everyone looked along Xie Yu's arms. The palace farthest part of the main hall was the most dazzling in the dark night, not because of its magnificence, but because of its brilliance, there was a fire burning out from the inside of the palace.

"The mountain of Xiayan Mountain, which is backed by Donghu Capital, isolates the possibility of invasion in the outside world and cuts off his own retreat." Xia Junmao looked into the distance and analyzed: "So..."

"So, Donghu Shanyu is most likely to hide in that palace!" Xuan Shaoning quickly guessed the most likely possibility. After this reminder, Xie Yu said anxiously: "Then we have to report to General Yang quickly and rush over to put out the fire, otherwise when the fire gets bigger, nothing will be left!"

"That's right! Xie Yu, go and report to the general quickly, let's go and catch people first!" Xia Junmao said without saying a word. Xie Yu blinked his eyes in surprise, feeling a little disbelief and stood there reluctantly.

"Isn't you going yet? I'm delaying military information, only you are asking!" Xia Junmao said a word and flashed into the night. Xing Gang patted Xie Yu on the shoulder and comforted him, "I'll admit it if you talk too much!" Then the group of people didn't care at all about Xie Yi's dissatisfaction quickly followed the pace of the commander.

This burning palace just happened to occupy the central axis of the palace, one in front and one behind the main hall. It is built along the mountain. The three floors are arranged in the shape of "Z". One floor and the other are connected by the air plank road. The three floors are built with octagonal spires. Each ridge has a different number of beasts hanging on it, and the same number of octagonal copper bells jingling in the wind. The entire palace is built by green fir trees, which is slightly blue in the night. At this moment, it has been dyed bright red by the blazing flames.

Before Xia Junmao and others arrived at the palace, they were blocked by flames. The first floor had completely become a sea of ​​fire. The flames spread along the suspended plank road to the second floor, while the third floor had not yet been affected.

"There is a lake in front of us. Get water to put out the fire immediately!" Qing Cang yelled anxiously, but he was obviously in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

"Where did we get the water-filling tool?" Xia Junmao choked with a question.

Xie Yi said, "In my opinion, Donghu Shanyu is hiding in this palace. It seems that he wants to sacrifice his life for his country, but our mission is to capture Shanyu alive and return to Beijing to report his life!" Xia Junmao didn't know, but at this moment, he was helpless in the face of the fire.

"Prince, let me go!" Xuan Shaoning stood up and saluted.

"We have to complete the task, but I must not let my brothers take risks! Besides, how can we make sure that Cheya Chanyu is in this palace?" Xia Junmao obviously opposed Xuan Shaoning's courage at this moment, "I'd better wait until General Yang arrives before making a decision!"

"It's too late! The second floor has been occupied by fire. The southeast wind is blowing at night. The fire will soon go straight to the third floor with the wind. By then, it will be really too late! It's true that Cheya Chanyu is in it at present, but our responsibility is to search for possible hiding places. Xia Duwei, this battle is for the honor of Daliang, and it is also the glory of the Xuanjia Army and the glory of the general. Please ask the Duwei to let the last general try!"

Xuan Shaoning said very firmly, and his words also came to Xia Junmao's heart. Although the Battle of Destroying Hu was a battle between the three armies, King Yu was the commander. Whether or not hesitated was crucial to the impact of the battle. However, Meng Kebao came forward and said, "Emperor Xia, let the generals go together. The generals must ensure the safety of the generals Xuan!"

Xuan Shaoning looked at Meng Kebao, and the other party nodded heavily.

"Okay, even if Cheya Shanyu exhausts his troops, he will not be surrounded by his side. Please be careful!"

After the order, the two of them immediately threw out their flying claws, fixed them on the railings on the second floor, and climbed up on the rocks on both sides. This way, they avoided the fire very well. With their outstanding skills, they arrived at the second floor soon.

Stepping on the already scorching ground, there was no one inside the palace, but when they heard the voices from the third floor, the two of them gestured to each other and then moved up with the help of the hanging plank road. The closer they got to the third floor, the clearer the voices. They lay at the entrance of the stairs and looked inside. They saw many Donghu women wearing gorgeous service either fell to the ground or supported each other, but without exception they were crying. A bloated middle-aged man in brocade clothes stood in the middle of the hall, looking at the main entrance of the hall with a long sword in his hand, and only a few personal guards were around these people.

It seems that this time the bet was the right bet! The hall is Donghu's Cheya Chanyu and his concubines, who must have wanted to live and die with this regime at this moment. Of course, there is no need to worry about the crying women. The crying women have no ability to resist. Even if Cheya Chanyu himself is afraid of being strong and unable to resist the enemy, the key is that he cannot succeed in his purpose of dying, which makes it difficult for the two hiding outside the door.

Meng Kebao pointed at Xuan Shaoning and pointed at himself, and then made a gesture of rushing in. Xuan Shaoning shook his head and placed his hand in front of his chest to press down and signaled not to be impulsive. However, Meng Kebao pointed back with difficulty and indicated that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and there was not much time left for them.

Xuan Shaoning could already feel the rising temperature under him without looking back. The warm air around him made his forehead sweat begin to seep. He gritted his teeth and was about to inform Meng Kebao to do it together, but he heard the screams of women and the harsh sounds of weapons colliding from the hall.

When the two rushed into the palace, several personal guards immediately came up to block the attack, but Xuan Shaoning clearly saw another figure and this figure was attacking Cheya Chanyu. The personal guards were no match for the man at all, and they were killed soon after. Xuan Shaoning cut over one person and wanted to hurry to Cheya Chanyu immediately, but these women fled in panic. Xuan Shaoning had never killed a weak woman, so he had to push away the concubines of the Shanyu who were blocking him. When he was about to come to the inside of the hall, he saw the masked man cutting Cheya Chanyu's throat with one knife, and blood from his neck splattered on the top of the hall.

"Who are you!" Xuan Shaoning threw out his waist knife to block the man's retreat, but the man easily avoided the attack and flew to crack the grid and rolled out of the window. Xuan Shaoning rushed to the window and saw the man jumping into the dark night and red flames, which made Xuan Shaoning hit the window with his fist with hatred. Obviously, it was useless, so he could only return to the hall to check Che Ya Shanyu. At this moment, Che Ya Shanyu had died. The wound on his neck was clean and neat, and the throat and blood were cut off at the same time, which showed how sharp the man's technique was.

After overturning the last personal guard, Meng Kebao rushed over and saw this result, and was quite surprised. "There are others besides us?"

"This man is very skilled, I am afraid he is above you and me, but after he succeeds, he does not get involved with me, but gets out as soon as possible. It seems that his target is Cheya Shanyu."

"But...who will it be? Donghu people or us..."

Before the two of them could figure out their minds, the screams of Cheya Shanyu's concubines went higher and higher, and the fire had spread to the main hall, with window edges and pillars falling down one after another. The palace had not been long.

"Let's take Che Yashanyu's body away!" Meng Kebao took the initiative to carry the body and said to Xuan Shaoning. But facing these innocent women, Xuan Shaoning felt a little soft-hearted, "What should they do?"

"As the concubines of the Shanyu, the Shanyu is dead, and their fate is already destined. Besides, in this case, we cannot protect ourselves. How can we save others?" Meng Kebao pulled Xuan Shaoning away from a broken window, and used his flying claws to jump and climb to the ground. When they landed, the entire palace finally collapsed. In the light of the sky, the young lives of those women became a pile of rubble.

When the hot wind blew over his body, Xuan Shaoning was still a little dazed: Who was the person who took the life of Cheya Shanyu? When did he become numb to innocent lives? Which of these two things is more important?

"General!"

Xia Junmao's voice brought Xuan Shaoning back to reality from his thoughts. Yang Zhong led his army to see the rubble of the palace and the corpse of Cheya Shanyu.

"Who killed him?" Yang Zhong asked seriously after checking the wound.

"Report to the general!" Xuan Shaoning knelt down immediately without waiting for Meng Kebao to speak. "After entering the palace, Mo Jiang encountered the blocking of Cheya Shanyu's personal bodyguard. A masked man took action to kill Shanyu. Mo Jiang wanted to chase but failed!"

"There are third-party forces? Do you have any fights with them?"

"After three moves, the man's martial arts are above the general, and the man escaped unscathed after completing his goal, and he would not be entangled with the general!"

Yang Zhong looked at Xuan Shaoning with complicated eyes. Meng Kebao hurriedly knelt down and said, "Report to the general, the last general and the captain Xuan enter this palace together. What the captain Xuan says is true!"
Chapter completed!
