Turbulent Times Chapter 438: Unsuspecting Dragon Palace

On a night in early spring, the cold wind whistled low in the Guiqing Mountains, and the surroundings were almost pitch black, and by the dim starlight one could only see three or five steps away at most.

There is a very hidden valley in the deep mountains of Guiqing. In the valley there is a lake with a size of more than 300 mu. At this time, there are dark shadows among the reeds beside the lake. Sounds, the nights in the deep mountains of Yongzhou in March are only slightly warmer than in winter.

It may be that no foreign enemy has ever attacked for countless years, or they are very confident in their own strength. The vigilance shown by Dragon Palace is far lower than Wang Junlin’s expectations. When Meng Huoyou, Shen Guang, and Chen Xuanpeng brought more than 3,000 elite soldiers scattered outside Guiqing Mountain, no one from Dragon Palace noticed. , what can be hidden from the Longxi Li family in Longxi County. This habit greatly facilitated Wang Junlin’s actions.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Wang Junlin ordered more than 3,000 elite soldiers to carry 500 barrels of fire oil into the valley. In order not to disturb the Dragon Palace, he left most of the horses ten miles away, leaving a hundred guards, and the rest People rushed here all the way on foot.

“Senior, are you sure that the Dragon Palace is in the middle of this lake?” Wang Junlin asked in a low voice. On his left is Nie Xiaoyu with an indifferent face, on his right are Chen Danying and Li Zongfeng, and Su Meier has been following behind Shen Guang for the past few days. .

Li Zongfeng snorted coldly: “Nonsense, I have been in this place for decades, how can I remember the wrong place. If you don’t believe me, ask Danying!”

Chen Danying smiled and said, “Look, Wang Lang, the black shadow in the lake is the Dragon Palace, and the two red dots are the two big red lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the Dragon Palace.”

Wang Junlin stared intently and saw two small red dots shaking. He smiled and said to Li Zongfeng: “Please forgive me, senior, this junior just asks out of habit.”

Li Zongfeng glared at Wang Junlin, and was lazy to say anything else. In fact, her heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

A spy belonging to Ghost Eye hurried over, bowed his head and said in a low voice: “Report to Lord Hou, Commander Shen, Chief Chen, and Mr. Xu have sent people to report that they have brought people to the designated area, please Please show me.”

Wang Junlin nodded, and said: “According to the original plan, spread out the manpower and the fierce oil along the lake at a distance of two feet, make sure there is no gap by the lake, and after the hands are scattered, let them pour the fierce oil Enter the water, and then prepare the sheepskin raft, and follow my orders at any time.”

“I obey.”

The most critical moment is approaching, Wang Junlin thought silently, if Dragon Palace found out halfway before they came, and if the people inside ran away in a hurry, the 3,000-strong army would not only be unable to stop many people, but would also be killed or injured heavy.

“There are no bridges. It seems that the people on the island really entered by boat.” Wang Junlin became more and more confident about this operation.

Wang Junlin turned around and gave instructions to the side. Behind him, a hundred ghost-eyed masters pushed the sheepskin rafts prepared in advance into the lake. Wang Junlin, Li Zongfeng, Chen Danying, and Nie Xiaoyu chose one of them to jump on. Picking up a paddle, the sheepskin raft was launched towards the island, and other ghost-eyed masters also boarded the sheepskin raft and rowed towards the island. The same scene happened in other directions at the same time. Hundreds of sheepskin rafts transported 2,000 elite soldiers to the island, leaving 1,000 people here as the second line.

The distance of two to three hundred feet is very short, and the two lanterns are as big as rice grains in a blink of an eye. Wang Junlin raised his hands high, and the speed of the crowd gradually slowed down. Although the sound of paddling the oars still existed, it was almost inaudible amidst the howling of the cold wind and the rustling of reeds.

Li Zongfeng looked at it intently, led the crowd to change direction, avoided the main entrance of the Dragon Palace and paddled for a while, and landed quietly on the shore.

“There are seven places where people are hiding.” Wang Junlin took Nie Xiaoyu to take advantage of the cover of the reeds around the island, and carefully circled around the island. There are about six or seven hidden piles around the island.

Wang Junlin knows that such hidden stakes usually have special ways of contacting the Dragon Palace, not to mention when these hidden stakes will change their guards. If people find out, it will be a big deal.

Wang Junlin did some calculations. According to what Li Zongfeng and Chen Danying said, the Dragon Palace is not very big, and the courtyard wall is still forty or fifty feet away from the lake. He could only see about seven or eight feet away, and he was able to spot the dark whistle from a distance just now, it was purely Nie Xiaoyu’s eyes that didn’t know how many functions they had. So these hidden piles can’t see them at all now. Moreover, with the sound of the wind and the swaying of the reeds, as long as the army approaches to a distance of 30 feet from the shore before charging, even if the people in the Dragon Palace receive the message from the hidden pile, it will be too late to escape. There are two layers of siege outside the lake.

Not long after, news came from all directions that two thousand elite troops had already arrived on the island. Li Zongfeng looked at the faintly visible outline of the Dragon Palace in the dark, and felt a little emotional in his heart. The Dragon Palace, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, is doomed. Now it seems that Dragon Palace is completely defenseless. The lord of Dragon Palace is stronger than her Li Zongfeng. After experiencing the previous generation of Spring and Autumn Envoys, even the current Spring and Autumn Envoys treat her quite politely. Dragon Palace has always been because of the relationship with the Li family in Longxi. In Longxi County, they always look down on all living beings from a high position, but they never expected that the muddled ones would be doomed.

There was no defense against Dragon Palace, and their actions tonight were so smooth that Wang Junlin was a little suspicious at this moment, and said in a low voice: “Senior, there has been no movement in Dragon Palace so far, isn’t it a little abnormal?”

Li Zongfeng sneered and said: “You think too much of them. There are indeed many masters in the Dragon Palace in terms of martial arts. The worst is the foundation-building period. They can already serve as captains in the Great Sui Army, let alone There are also a group of masters in the stagnant period and a few masters in the breaking stage. But these people have been supported by my Li family in Longxi for so many years, and they have not participated in worldly affairs at all. The court and secular forces have never been vigilant and vigilant.”

Wang Junlin thought about it for a while, and it was indeed such a truth, and he was completely relieved.

At this time, the battle was about to start, Wang Junlin stopped thinking about it, although he couldn’t see anything in the distance, he knew that Chen Xuanpeng and Shen Guang led two thousand elite troops to the island and surrounded the Dragon Palace from all directions.
