A smile appeared on Nangong Tianlong's face, "Mmm?"
Nangong Yu thought about it anxiously, "Long Xiang has set a trap to deal with Ling Xiao, and Ling Tian is trying to save his father. They will definitely send all their elites over! If an ordinary person were to think about it, the current Ling family would definitely be empty. Even if they still have some strength left, they would definitely be weak and unable to withstand a single blow! However, father, we have dealt with Ling Tian quite a number of times before. Father, do you think that Ling Tian is the type of person who doesn't consider the consequences of his actions? Why would he not make any preparations at such a time? Would he allow Long Xiang and Yang KongQun to destroy his own people? Would Ling Tian be such a reckless person? "
Nangong Tianlong laughed, "That's right, Ling Tian is extremely meticulous and his methods are extraordinary. He definitely has a strong backup plan. However, we will have to see how strong Ling Tian's backup plan is! Would it be able to defend against the combined attack of the Imperial Family and Yang Family? Don't forget, the Imperial Guards and the Yang Family's strongest secret force, the 3,000 Heavenly Blade Troops, are definitely not to be underestimated! I believe that as long as the Ling family slacks off, their family will definitely be annihilated! "
"Then father's meaning is that we should sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" Nangong Yu's eyes lit up as she asked.
"That's right! Now that Sky Bearing is facing such a huge crisis, it is actually as safe as Mount Tai to us external powers! In fact, it is a huge opportunity! No matter which faction it is, they would not dare to provoke us easily. Thus, we will become an additional force that can influence the war in Sky Bearing! Such a situation is really something that cannot be bought with money! "
NanGong TianLong laughed complacently. "If the Ling family gains the upper hand, we will help the Ling family. This will definitely be like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Of course, it will also be like adding flowers to a brocade. At the same time, we will be able to completely uproot our enemy, the Yang Family! Completely venting out the resentment in his heart, he could also obtain considerable benefits! If the Imperial Family and the Yang Family were to win, we would then turn around and wipe out the Ling family. Using this, we would propose a cooperation with Sky Bearing and obtain a share of the profits in Sky Bearing. In the future, it wouldn't be too late to plot against the Yang Family! In short, today's chaos is a great opportunity for our Nangong family to rise again. No matter what, this is a ready-made bargain. Haha … ever since my Nangong family entered the Sky Bearing Empire, we have always been sullen. To think that the heavens would not let us down, and it is finally time for us to hold our heads up high! "
"Father (Big Brother) is wise!" Nangong Yu and Nangong Tianhu said in unison. Nangong Tianlong was even happier. He waved his hand and said, "Order the spies to pay close attention to the movements outside. If there are any abnormalities, report back immediately! We must keep abreast of the latest developments! Once the situation becomes clearer, you must act immediately without hesitation! "
"Yes!"
Shen RuHu looked to the front and remained silent. His emotions were complicated. In just a few hundred feet, he would be able to see the Ling family's gate after turning the corner!
The orderly footsteps of the Imperial Guards seemed to be stepping on Shen RuHu's heart! Could it be that he really had to take action against the family that he respected the most in his life? Fight to the death without any mercy?!
Shen RuHu could not help but turn around and look at Long Xiang who was sitting high up in the imperial carriage. Looking at the hundred or so executioners who were eyeing him covetously, he felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and anger in his heart!
What kind of bullsh * t situation was this? Not only did Long Xiang execute a meritorious official of the empire, he even sent executioners to monitor another high-ranking general who was here to carry out his mission! Was Long Xiang's brain filled with dog sh * t?
Just when he was feeling frustrated, an unforeseen event occurred! On the rooftops on both sides of the street, rows of figures stood up and at the same time, hundreds of barrels of black stuff were poured down. The Imperial Guards were thrown into chaos and Shen RuHu shouted, "Archers!"
Someone laughed out loud, "If you have archers, do you think we don't have archers?" He then shouted out, "Release the arrows!" At the same time, Shen RuHu also shouted out the same word!
The sounds of bowstrings being released could be heard and dozens of people cried out in pain as they fell down from the rooftops on both sides of the street! Among the Imperial Guards, not a single person was injured! Shen RuHu was slightly puzzled. Why was it that when that person gave the order to release the arrows, not a single arrow was shot down? What was the reason? Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he could not help but look up. He saw that the rooftops were brightly lit and there were actually countless torches lit up! Someone laughed out loud, "Haha … to have the dog emperor of Sky Bearing accompany me in death, I, San Gouzi, am really fortunate! This is called Er Gouzi returning to heaven, right? "
"Black oil!" Shen RuHu turned pale with fright! The black object that had been poured down was located in the middle of the Imperial Guards. Shen RuHu smelled a strange smell at this moment, and his face could not help but change greatly!
However, it was too late!
A torrential downpour of torches fell down!
"Boom!"
The entire street was engulfed in flames and the flames soared up to a height of twenty to thirty feet! In an instant, the ten thousand Imperial Guards of Sky Bearing were split into two! They could not even look at each other.
The most bustling street in Sky Bearing City was turned into hell in an instant! The flames rose up and the smoke billowed. Within a few hundred feet, miserable cries could be heard as countless Imperial Guards struggled in the sea of fire, trying their best to charge out. However, how would they be able to do so in such a crowded place? Furthermore, there were no less than a thousand Imperial Guards on this journey. Every one of them was on fire. No matter where they went, they would be met with a person on fire screaming and rushing towards them. Countless people fell forever before they could rush out of the sea of fire. The fire continued to burn, making sizzling sounds. The smell of roasted human flesh filled their nostrils, making them feel nauseous!
Many of the war horses also began to fight in a frenzy and broke their reins. Under the violent twist, the riders on the horses were thrown to the ground and they ran out with all their might! The entire army was in chaos!
Shen RuHu let out a long sigh towards the sky! With tears in his eyes, he shouted, "Archers, team one, guard the rooftops on both sides. Team two, shoot!" As he said that, he pulled out a large blade from his waist and chopped down, slicing an Imperial Guard who was struggling in the fire into two! The archers at the front and back immediately understood and half of them aimed their bows at the rooftops on both sides. The other half shot their arrows towards their comrades in the fire with tears in their eyes. Regardless of whether they were men or horses, as long as they were in the fire, they would be killed! They would not show any mercy!
The people on the rooftops originally wanted to continue with their sneak attacks and let the Imperial Guards suffer a huge loss. However, seeing how nimble Shen RuHu's reaction was, they could not help but let out a long sigh and decisively shouted, "Retreat!" With that order, the hundreds of people on both sides of the rooftops disappeared without a trace!
Shen RuHu knew that if he allowed these flaming men to rush out, the formation of his 16,000 Imperial Guards would be thrown into disarray and they would be completely scattered by these men! At that time, they would no longer have any combat strength left. If the Ling family were to send out a few more troops to ambush them, they would be in danger of being wiped out! Thus, he decisively gave the order to kill all his subordinates who were on fire. This was something that he had no choice but to do! However, this also prevented them from suffering a greater loss from being ambushed!
However, from this point alone, it could be seen that Shen RuHu's vicious methods and decisiveness were indeed worthy of being a famous general who had roamed the battlefields of Sky Bearing for tens of years! He was the disciple that Duke Ling was most proud of!
Following that, under Shen RuHu's orders, the hundreds of Imperial Guards charged into the houses on both sides of the street. In just a short moment, the thick walls collapsed and pressed into the fire, causing the flames to stop!
By the time the fire was completely extinguished, the entire street had already turned into a wasteland that was too horrible to look at! The tall mud walls in the middle of the street were piled up into a small hill and it was as though a huge tomb had been built on the ground! Shen RuHu and Long Xiang were on one side of the small hill and the other on the other. Both of their faces were charred black and their eyes were filled with tears!
The inexplicable attack this time had caused the elite Imperial Guards to lose no less than two thousand men! As for the imposing aura that they had when they set off, it was completely gone! All of them lowered their heads in dejection! The Ling family was already prepared for this! This thought entered everyone's mind and they all felt a chill in their hearts.
The Heavenly Blade Troops led by Yang KongQun were in an even more miserable state. Along the way, they were suddenly doused with black oil and burned. As for the mysterious attacks, there were no less than seven or eight times!
Countless flying daggers and arrows came from the roofs, trees, and even the streets. Every step they took, they had to pay the price of over a dozen lives! What was even more ridiculous was that when they were about 400 to 500 feet away from the Ling residence, sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the houses on both sides like rain. Before they could even react, the tall walls of the residence had already collapsed with a loud bang! The people at the front of the formation were smashed to the ground along with their horses. Moreover, the formation had completely blocked the path of the formation!
Yang KongQun flew into a rage and ordered for a search. However, just like the previous few times, not a single shadow could be seen! It was as though the entire street had turned into Yama's death zone! It was completely silent and filled with an eerie aura!
After many twists and turns, the two groups of people finally met up in front of the Ling House's main gate! Looking at each other's wretched appearance, they could see the intense humiliation and murderous intent in each other's eyes!
The Ling residence had already been surrounded by three layers of people on the inside and outside! Countless archers aimed their shiny black arrows at every direction of the Ling House! However, the unexpected thing was that the Ling Residence was like an ancient beast that was in a deep slumber, quietly standing in front of everyone. It was as though it was oblivious to the sharp fangs around it, not reacting in the slightest!
On the way here, they had encountered the Ling House's omnipresent attacks. Everyone still had lingering fears in their hearts! However, when they arrived, they saw such a strange scene. Everyone couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts! Ling House, Ling family, what are you up to?! If you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters.
