Peach Blossoms in Chang'an

Chapter 150 Before the Dawn of the Stars

The study was in deathly silence. Wu Tao and Hu Bugui were both in great shock and could not recover for a long time. The words of the man in black were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in their hearts.

"Who is he? How does he know our plan?" Wu Tao murmured to himself, his delicate brows tightly furrowed, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

Hu Bugui took a deep breath, took Wu Tao into his arms, and gently stroked her back, trying to calm her restless mood. "Don't be afraid, Tao'er, we still have a chance."

His tone was firm, but he couldn't hide the solemnity in his eyes. The appearance of the man in black meant that their actions had been completely exposed, and the strength displayed by the other party was even more frightening.

"But our plan..." Wu Tao's voice trembled a little. She knew the importance of this operation. If they failed, they would be doomed.

"Plans cannot keep up with changes," Hu Bugui interrupted her. "Since the other party has seen through our intentions, we will only fall into a trap if we continue to act according to the original plan. We must change our strategy and take the initiative!"

There was a determined light in his eyes, as if a meteor streaked across the night sky, illuminating the road ahead.

Wu Tao raised his head and stared at the man in front of him, feeling the confidence and strength emanating from him. The fear in his heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an unswerving determination.

"Okay, we listen to you!"

A new storm is brewing, and they will be at the center of this storm.

Hu Bugui summoned all the forces he could trust overnight, including the chivalrous hero Li Xiaoyao, the loyal generals, and some righteous men. These people had experienced bloody storms and knew the danger of this operation, but none of them backed down because they all believed that Hu Bugui and Wu Tao were people worth protecting with their lives.

"Everyone," Hu Bugui looked at the people in front of him with a sharp gaze, "I know this mission is a life-or-death struggle, but for the future of the Tang Dynasty and for the people of the world, we must fight to the death!"

His voice was sonorous, powerful and infectious, which aroused the fighting spirit of everyone present.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will follow you until death!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices shaking the roof tiles.

Wu Tao stood beside Hu Bugui, watching the scene in front of her, her heart filled with emotion and admiration. She knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but they were not fighting alone, because behind them stood the hope of the entire Tang Dynasty.

In order to find the headquarters of the mysterious organization as soon as possible, Wu Tao rushed to make a batch of tracking devices overnight. This device was carefully developed by her based on modern scientific and technological principles, combined with Tang Dynasty materials and craftsmanship, and can accurately track the target's location.

After several days of investigation, they finally locked the location of the mysterious organization's headquarters - an ancient temple hidden in the mountains and forests. This temple looks ordinary, but it is actually heavily guarded and full of murderous intentions.

After careful planning, they developed a bold plan: use the cover of night to sneak into the temple and destroy the core power of the mysterious organization.

On a dark and windy night, an elite team quietly set out, each of them determined to die, heading towards the ancient temple that hid countless secrets.

The road ahead is full of unknown dangers, and what awaits them is a life-and-death test. But they believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and usher in the dawn of light.

On a dark and windy night, dark clouds obscured the stars and the moon, and the mountains and forests were pitch black, with only the whistling wind echoing in the ears. Hu Bugui led the team, like a ghost, through the dense woods, heading towards the target location - the ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains and forests.

In order to avoid possible patrols, they deliberately chose a remote path. This road was rugged and difficult to walk on, with thorns and rocks everywhere, and one could fall and get injured if one was not careful. The team moved very slowly, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to make any sound, for fear of alerting the enemy in the dark.

"Your Highness, there is an open area ahead. Should we go around it?" Li Xiaoyao lowered his voice and pointed ahead.

Hu Bugui looked in the direction of Li Xiaoyao's finger and saw a piece of open space not far ahead, which looked particularly abrupt in the night. He frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Taking a detour will waste time, let's just go straight through this open space." Hu Bugui pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision.

"But..." Li Xiaoyao wanted to persuade him again, but Hu Bugui raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, I will arrange people to guard the surroundings, nothing will happen." Hu Bugui said, turning to look at the general beside him, "Take a few people to explore the way ahead, and if you find something wrong, send a signal immediately."

"Yes, sir!" The general took the order and left, disappearing silently into the darkness with several agile soldiers.

Hu Bugui led the remaining team, remained highly vigilant, and slowly moved towards the center of the open space.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several sounds of breaking through the air were heard from all directions, and then countless sharp arrows poured down like raindrops, covering the entire open space!

 Before the Dawn

Sharp arrows rained down, and Hu Bugui's troops were caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos. "Protect the prince!" Li Xiaoyao waved his sword, blocking the arrows shot at Hu Bugui one by one, and shouted anxiously.

Hu Bugui was not afraid of danger. He drew out the long sword from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, he shot down the flying arrows one by one. "Don't panic, everyone, act according to the plan!"

Wu Tao hid behind a huge rock, her heart in her throat. Ever since she agreed to face this battle with Hu Bugui, Wu Tao never thought of retreating. She knew that if she wanted to completely eradicate this mysterious organization, she had to fight to the death. These days, she racked her brains and used the knowledge she brought from modern society to design a series of ingenious mechanisms and tactics.

"ignition!"

Following Wu Tao's order, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush lit the torches soaked in grease and threw them towards the pre-set targets.

"boom!"

The violent explosion was deafening, and the flames lit up the night sky and the panicked faces of the enemies. It turned out that Wu Tao had ordered people to bury a large amount of gunpowder and traps around the open space in advance, waiting for the enemy to appear and then detonate them to catch them off guard.

The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating Hu Bugui's resolute face. He took a deep breath, raised his long sword high, and shouted, "Kill!"

The soldiers were so motivated that they rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending from a mountain. The swords in their hands were particularly sharp in the light of the fire, harvesting the lives of the enemies.

"follow me!"

Hu Bugui led a team of elite soldiers to the depths of the temple. He knew that this was the hiding place of the leader of the mysterious organization and the key to this battle.

Inside the temple, the leader of the mysterious organization had already received the news. His face was livid, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. "I didn't expect that they would dare to take the initiative to attack. They are really courting death!"

"Someone! Stop them!"

At a command from the leader of the mysterious organization, countless men in black rushed out from all directions and engaged in a fierce battle with Hu Bugui's team.

Swords flashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Hu Bugui was bloodthirsty, and every time he swung his sword, he took a life. He was like a god of war, unstoppable, and soon he cut a bloody path and approached the room where the leader of the mysterious organization was.

"boom!"

Hu Bugui kicked the door open and saw the leader of the mysterious organization standing in front of the window with his back to him, seemingly admiring the night view outside.

"You're finally here." The mysterious organization leader slowly turned around, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Hu Bugui didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly, with murderous eyes. He knew that the final battle had begun. "Do you think you can win like this?" The leader of the mysterious organization laughed arrogantly, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Evil cannot prevail over good, your conspiracy will not succeed!" Hu Bugui said sternly, and the long sword in his hand made a clear sound, as if responding to his master's determination.

At this moment, two figures flashed like lightning and stood in front of Hu Bugui.

"Your Highness, we are late!" Li Xiaoyao and the general stood side by side, looking firmly at the leader in front of them who exuded a dangerous aura.

"Brother Xiaoyao, General!" Hu Bugui felt warm in his heart. He knew that in the final decisive battle, they would fight side by side and share life and death.

“Hmph, no matter how many people come, they can’t change the outcome!” The leader of the mysterious organization roared, and attacked Hu Bugui like a ghost.

Hu Bugui, Li Xiaoyao and the general joined forces to fight the leader of the mysterious organization in a thrilling battle. The flashes of swords and shadows intertwined into a web of death, which was dazzling and terrifying.

The leader of the mysterious organization is a martial arts expert with ruthless moves, but Hu Bugui and his two main characters cooperate well with each other, and are able to both attack and defend, and gradually gain the upper hand.

Finally, under the joint attack of the three, the leader of the mysterious organization was accidentally stabbed in the chest by Hu Bugui, and his clothes were immediately dyed red with blood.

"You..." The mysterious organization leader looked at the wound on his chest in disbelief, his eyes full of reluctance and despair. He never thought that after years of planning, he would eventually fail.

"It's over!" Hu Bugui said coldly. He was about to give the enemy the final blow when he suddenly heard a shrill alarm.

"Oh no! He is going to activate the self-destruct device!" Li Xiaoyao's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly.

"Let's go!" Hu Bugui made a prompt decision, grabbed Wu Tao's hand and ran out.

That's too late!

With a deafening explosion, the entire temple shook violently, tiles on the roof fell off, and cracks began to appear in the walls, as if they would collapse at any time.

Wu Tao and Hu Bugui ran desperately. The explosions behind them became louder and louder, and the ground shook more and more violently, as if the whole world was collapsing.

At this moment, Wu Tao's feet were empty and he fell down.

"Tao'er!" Hu Bugui exclaimed and jumped down without thinking.

The two men fell heavily into a small space. Before they could react, the entrance above their heads was blocked by falling rocks, completely cutting off their contact with the outside world.

In the darkness, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui huddled together tightly, listening to the deafening explosions outside, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.

They didn't know where they were, or whether they could escape, but they knew that no matter what happened, they would be together and face it together.
