Murong Ye led the Japanese soldiers to intercept the ninjas. Many of the ninjas were injured. Seeing that he would not allow the ninjas to leave, they immediately became angry, "Murong Jun, what are you doing?"

Murong Ye glanced at dozens of ninjas and found everyone suspicious.

Finally, he raised his finger and pointed at the mask on the ninja's face, and said in a deep voice, "There are Kyushu spies among you. Everyone, take off your masks. We need to check you one by one!"

Ninjas mostly carry out their missions at night. In order to maintain their mystery and to better hide themselves, they will wrap their faces tightly in a mask except for their eyes.

At this moment, hearing Murong Ye's unreasonable request, the ninja was furious on the spot, "Baka! Our ninja identities are top secret. How can you reveal our true identities with just one sentence? If I were to say, you might be a spy from Jiuzhou, infiltrating our Dongying camp, hoping to catch us all in one fell swoop!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other ninjas echoed, "That's right! This person has ulterior motives, and we must not be fooled!"

"I will not take off my face covering! I will firmly resist the people from Jiuzhou telling us what to do in Japan!"

Seeing that these ninjas were very excited, Murong Ye reached out and pulled out a samurai sword from the waist of the ninja who was shouting the loudest in front of him, and stabbed it into the other's abdomen.

The ninja was already injured and couldn't dodge in time, so he was killed by a single blow!

The moment the ninja fell to the ground, the whole world seemed to be silent, and everyone was as quiet as a chicken.

No one expected that Murong Ye would dare to kill the ninja in front of so many Japanese soldiers. They looked at the ninja lying in a pool of blood, and unconsciously took two steps back, keeping a distance from Murong Ye.

Only Kusai Chuan Yifu's confidant glared at Murong Ye with a look of reproach on his face, "Mr. Murong, what are you doing? You killed a ninja, how am I going to explain this to Lord Kusai?"

The night wind was cold, and Murong Ye glanced sideways at Shuichiro, a close confidant of Kusaichuan Yifu.

Hisaikawa Kazuo placed this person by his side, saying that he was there to assist him, but in fact he was just monitoring his every move.

Murong Ye has never been the type to be manipulated. These ninjas are not very capable, but they have bad tempers. Today he wants to establish his authority, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and destroy the prestige of these guys!

"You don't need to explain what I did. I will naturally explain the situation to my father!"

After saying this, Murong Ye once again turned his gaze to the silent ninja, pointed at the corpse on the ground and said word by word, "Are you going to take off your veils now? If you don't want to end up like him, you'd better think it over before answering me!"

All the ninjas looked at each other and finally succumbed to his tyranny.

One by one, they removed the masks from their faces.

Seeing this, Shuiping Taijiro felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart, "Murong Jun, are you satisfied now?"

Murong Ye looked at the angry expression on his face and curled his lips slightly, "Taijiro, we are not only working for my father, but also to capture the city of Jiuzhou for the king! If you had been so indecisive, the spies in Jiuzhou would have escaped long ago!"

After hearing his words, Shuiping Taijiro hesitated and shut up.

Seeing that no one challenged him anymore, Murong Ye shouted, "Take off your veils, and then look at each other and the people around you. If anyone looks suspicious, arrest them immediately! Once we catch the spy, I'll speak well of you to my father! You'll have a bright future!"

After saying that, he turned to Shui Taijiro and said, "Translate my words to them!"

Shuiping Taijiro repeated his words in Japanese, and finally added, "Everyone, please cooperate well. He is now the son-in-law of Lord Jiucai. Lord Jiucai still relies on him to infiltrate the Jiuzhou Palace. We should not offend him for the time being. Once Lord Jiucai successfully takes Jiuzhou into his possession, his life will definitely be at your disposal!"

Although the ninjas had complaints in their hearts, as members of the Iga clan, they were all loyal to Kusai Kazuo. Since Murong Ye still had value to Kusai Kazuo, they would tolerate him for a while longer.

So, they followed Murong Ye's instructions and checked and confirmed the identities of their companions.

After all the ninjas checked each other, Shuichi Taijiro confirmed several times before saying to Murong Ye, "Mr. Murong, we've checked, and there are no spies from Kyushu among them!"

Murong Ye frowned coldly, his eyes scanning between the ninjas here, "Have they all seen carefully? If they dare to protect the spy, I will never let him go!"

Seeing that Murong Ye actually suspected that the ninja was harboring a Kyushu spy, Shuiping Taijiro directly replied, "Mr. Murong, we Japanese are very united and will not be divided like you. If we discover a spy, we will definitely kill him on the spot and will not allow him to have the chance to sneak into the Japanese camp again!"

Murong Ye was influenced by his words.

But now is not the time to worry about such things.

Since Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue are not among the ninjas, they will definitely go to the city gate of Ningcheng.

As long as Ningcheng opens the city gate for them, the Japanese army can take the opportunity to attack the city.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if Ning Cheng doesn’t open the city gate for them.

A Yan, whom he placed next to Xue Youli, has already sneaked into Ningcheng.

He sent a message to A Yan, asking her to find a way to open the city gate tonight.

Thinking of this, Murong Ye couldn't wait to say to Shuiping Taijiro, "I'll take my men to chase the escaped spies first. You go back and inform my father to send more troops to the city gate to support me! If all goes well, we can capture Ningcheng tonight!"

Seeing his determined expression, Shuiping Taijiro nodded quickly, "Okay! If you can break into Ningcheng tonight, Lord Jiucai will definitely be very happy!"

Murong Ye didn't care about Jiu Caichuan Yifu's mood. He just wanted to use these Japanese soldiers to take back everything he had lost!

……

On the other side, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue slid down the city wall along the rope.

At this time, they returned to the foot of the city wall and climbed up the wall again using ropes.

On the city wall, Murong Nan had been waiting for them. Only when he saw them standing in front of him unharmed did he feel relieved.

"Ayue, I'm so glad you're all okay!"

Chu Xinyue pulled off the veil from her face and walked up to him. "We deliberately misled Murong Ye, making him think we would enter through the city gate. He must be chasing us with the Japanese troops now. Are the archers in place?"

Murong Nan nodded, "The archers are already prepared! Just waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese army!"

Moreover, they not only prepared bows and arrows, but also kerosene and poison. Before shooting, they dipped the arrowheads in kerosene and poisoned them. They did everything they could to ensure that these Japanese people would never return!

Several torches were lit on the city wall. Chu Xinyue looked at his eyes reflected in the firelight and curled her lips. "Murong Nan, why do I feel that you have grown up a lot since coming to the border? Not only has your personality become more stable, but you also have the demeanor of a great general!"

Murong Nan turned around and asked Qingfeng to hand her and Xue Youli two thick cloaks that had been prepared in advance. "You are the commander-in-chief, and as your deputy commander, I must grow by your side. The border is not like the capital. It is freezing cold here late at night. Hurry up and put on your clothes and warm yourself by the fire!"

They didn't feel cold when they fought against the Kyushu ninjas before.

But after hearing what Murong Nan said, Xue Youli couldn't help but rub his hands and exhale, "My hands are almost numb from the cold!"

Chu Xinyue took the cloak from Qingfeng and handed one of them to Xue Youli, "Come, put on your cloak first!"

The cloak was thick and when I wrapped it around my body, it immediately blocked out the cold wind and my hands and feet gradually warmed up.

Seeing that their noses were red from the cold, Murong Nan quickly said to them, "The wind is strong on the city wall, go back and rest quickly, I'll guard here!"

"That won't do. We are husband and wife. I have to stand by you!"

Chu Xinyue said, turning to look at Xue Youli beside her, "Ali, you go back first. I can't let you get frozen to death, otherwise Murong Che will be heartbroken when we return to Beijing."

Xue Youli listened to her teasing and curled her lips, "I won't leave. I'm your best friend, and I want to stick with you!"

Anyway, she will definitely be the third wheel tonight.

Chu Xinyue didn't refuse anymore, "Alright! Then let's all stay and beat the crap out of Murong Ye tonight!"

Not long after, a figure quickly climbed up the city wall along the steps and walked towards them.

"Princess, Ah Yan really sneaked under the city gate and tried to open it, but I found him in time and tied him up!"

Before Wang Dali even got close, he reported the situation to Chu Xinyue with excitement.

Chu Xinyue looked at his sparkling eyes and praised him, "You did a great job. Now we'll just wait for Murong Ye to come with his Japanese army and die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a rustling sound outside the city wall.

Xue Youli looked towards the large mass of soldiers and horses not far away, his heart eager to give it a try, "Fifth brother, quickly get the archers ready. When the Japanese army enters the shooting range, shoot immediately!"

"it is good!"

Murong Nan took Qingfeng to convey the order.

Wang Dali watched them walk away and couldn't help but say, "I'm going too!"

After saying this, he hurriedly trotted after him.

On the city wall, Xue Youli watched the large, dark mass of troops approaching little by little, and suddenly thought of something, "Commander, have you arranged a group of experts outside the city to snipe Murong Ye?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you!"

Chu Xinyue blinked at her and said with a smile, "I borrowed these experts from the Emperor! If you weren't so kind, how could the Emperor be willing to lend me his Dragon Shadow Guards?"

Xue Youli replied with a smile, "The emperor borrowed the Dragon Shadow Guard mainly because he believed in your strength!"

"I hope we can successfully keep Murong Ye's life here tonight!"

Xue Youli raised his chin, his tone determined, "Anyway, we have two plans. Even if we can't kill him, we will make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

……

Outside the city gate, after the first batch of Japanese troops led by Murong Ye arrived, they found that the gate of Ningcheng was closed tightly and there was no sign of it being opened.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of wind in my ears in the darkness.

Murong Ye stood at the front of the team, squinting his eyes and looking at the city wall.

He looked around and silently counted the number of guards in his mind. There were only twenty-eight people.

There was a guard standing at regular intervals on the city wall, with a burning torch in front of him.

Everything seems normal, the reinforcements should not have arrived yet!

So, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue didn’t have time to enter the city?

However, it doesn’t matter even if they go in, because A Yan is here and she will find a way to open the city gate for him.

These Japanese soldiers already had complaints about him. If he returned empty-handed tonight, they would definitely report him to Hisaikawa Kazuo!

So, tonight he can only succeed and not fail!

Murong Ye thought of this and pointed at the soldiers standing next to him and ordered in a deep voice, "Go check the situation!"

The Japanese soldiers were also afraid, but they had no choice but to charge forward.

When they reached the foot of the city wall and circled back and forth, and seeing that no one had discovered them, they sent a soldier back to report to Murong Ye.

"No abnormalities found!"

At this moment, a flare was sent from inside the city wall.

This flare was given to A Yan by him. It looked like a meteor, shooting into the air and disappearing in a flash.

Only the two of them knew this signal. Now that A Yan had fired the flare, it meant that she had succeeded and opened the city gate!

God help me too!

Murong Ye thought of this and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile in his eyes, "Everyone listen up, abandon your horses and walk into the city immediately!"

Standing behind him, Pingshui Taijiro saw that the city gate was tightly closed and began to doubt his decision. "Murong Jun, the gate of Ningcheng is so tightly closed. If we rush through recklessly, we will be wiped out if we are discovered!"

Murong Ye glanced at him sideways, "Don't worry, I have someone inside Ningcheng! If we go over now, she will help us open the city gates and catch the Ningcheng garrison off guard!"

"But……"

Shuiping Taijiro was about to urge him to be more cautious, but Murong Ye interrupted him impatiently, "Speed ​​is the essence of war! The most important thing in marching and fighting is to seize the initiative! If everyone is as hesitant as you, when will we be able to conquer Jiuzhou?"

Shuiping Taijiro was speechless and could only helplessly reply, "Lord Jiucai has given you full responsibility for tonight's operations. You make the arrangements, and we will follow your orders!"

Murong Ye immediately raised the long sword in his hand and said to the people behind him, "Pass on my order, the entire army will attack!"

So, under his leadership, the Japanese soldiers rushed towards the gate of Ningcheng.

In the shadows of the city wall, Xue Youli was silently calculating the distance between the Japanese soldiers and the wall, counting down in a low voice, "...Three! Two! One!"

Just as she finished counting down the last number, Chu Xinyue suddenly stood up and said, "Release!"

Her voice was sonorous, powerful and full of vigor, which made the Ningcheng garrison's blood boil.

"Kill! Kill all these Japanese barbarians!"

call out! Whoosh!

The sharp arrow flew out at lightning speed and accurately hit the group of sneaky Japanese soldiers under the city wall.

The Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another after being shot by arrows.

Some of the arrows were on fire, and after hitting the target, they burned the clothes of the Japanese soldiers.

"what!"

High-pitched screams of horror and despair came one after another.

In the light of the fire, Shui Ping Taijiro saw that the lips of several soldiers who had been shot by arrows were purple, and he was horrified. "Everyone, be careful! The arrows are poisonous!"

The Japanese soldiers listened to their companions' screams, and then looked at the people around them who were shot and fell to the ground, and they were suddenly in great panic!
