I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Xue Rengui and the others increased their firepower output.

Suddenly, the sudden increase in firepower for the enemy made them feel even more caught off guard.

Bullets, grenades, flying stones and pieces of iron.

Harvest their lives.

It would be a good thing if 100% of their lives could be harvested, so that they would not witness with their own eyes that the other soldiers next to them, clutching their wounds, fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

One sound, one burst, one slice.

It poured into the ears of those soldiers who were not injured or who had not yet rushed to the front line due to terrain constraints.

Unable to attack for a long time, the damage was heavy.

Facing an enemy that was nearly impossible to defeat and would only bring them pain, they cringed, and...they flinched.

A defeated army is no longer an army.

Xue Rengui chased after them, but he didn't kill them all. He just drove them away in a mess, then turned around and ran towards the palace.

Being able to play such a strategy has already accomplished the small goal he set before the war.

He has not forgotten what the real goal is.

There are still some defenders left outside the imperial city, the number is not large, only about 500 people.

But... until the sun had fully risen and the sun was shining all over the earth, Xue Rengui was able to successfully break through the gate of the palace and break in.

This is much more difficult than the positional warfare after entering the city.

Xue Rengui also needs to pay attention to avoiding casualties, um... injuries are unavoidable, but after this battle, at least no one died.

in the palace.

The emperor of Ningyuan Kingdom sat on the bed, holding his breath and contemplating himself. He was a little flustered at first—why the enemy had already attacked his own city, but he didn't hear any news.

As for now... I feel even more flustered in my heart, but I still have to maintain the dignity that a king should have on the surface.

It was like a thunderous attack.

The fireworks that exploded over the city.

He... can only think of the army from that place. Besides Datang, where else would the army have such weapons?
Why did you really call me!

He was thinking about it.

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a group of people rolled in, holding the firestick-like weapon in their hands, scanning the entire room.

Soon, their eyes caught the man who was sitting on the bed in all his clothes.

"Are you the emperor of Ningyuan Kingdom?" A ranger walked over, pointed his gun at him, and asked in Chinese.

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom couldn't understand, so he just kept a straight face.

"His mother...doesn't understand human language." You Xia'er spat, and asked reluctantly in Western Region dialect, "Hey, old man, are you the emperor of Ningyuan Kingdom?"

old man?

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom was taken aback, a little unbelievable, he was only in his 40s this year, how could he use the title "old man".

You Xia was also taken aback, and muttered: "Isn't that what the bird said?"

Then I tried to use different intonations, repeating the word "old man" back and forth.

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom gritted his teeth, nodded, and interrupted the endless cycle of old men: "No need to repeat, I am."

You Xia'er paused, and said "Ah", speaking too fast, he couldn't hear it clearly.

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom took a deep breath and continued to repeat: "I am the Emperor of Ningyuan Kingdom."

You Xia'er nodded: "Oh, that's right."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, turned around and greeted several brothers: "Tie him up and take him to see Xue Lang, the big fish was caught by us."

Rangers rushed forward.

He tied up the king of Ningyuan Kingdom in a hurry-how he tied up pigs and sheep in winter in the past, how to tie up this big man now.

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom didn't resist either, and let them tie him up.

He really couldn't find any chance to resist.

In a side hall of the palace, Xue Rengui looked at the snow and pondered the overall situation of today's battle in his heart - although he won, there were few places that he wanted.

The only good news is that he didn't use the remaining 200 people.

The most basic small goal was achieved.

"Xue Lang, we have brought you here." You Xiaer's noisy voice came over, and they happily carried the king of Ningyuan Kingdom and ran to Xue Rengui's side.

With a slap, throw this man down.

"King of Ningyuan Kingdom?" Xue Rengui raised his eyebrows, turned around, and shook the snow off his body, while a clever ranger took out his cloak and wrapped it around Xue Rengui.

"Xue Lang, he doesn't understand human language." A ranger added from the side.

Xue Rengui paused, wishing to take off his cloak and put it back on again - he wanted to show off his majesty, but he never succeeded, so he spoke in the dialect of the Western Regions again: "You are the king of Ningyuan Kingdom?"

The man nodded.

"From today onwards, Ning Yuan will change the flag of Tang, and change the name to Tang." Xue Rengui said indifferently, and ordered in an orderly tone, "Do you have any objections?"

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom raised his head with some difficulty, the hemp rope made his neck tingle a little: "May I know why Datang attacked me, Ningyuan?"

"Is it because the merchant who borrowed Zhengyang's money was killed?"

Xue Rengui knelt down, stared into the man's eyes, and smiled slightly: "First, let me correct you a mistake."

"We...although we fly the Tang flag, strictly speaking, we are Dalang, that is, people of Duke Zhengyang."

"It's just that the court asked Lord Zhengyang to borrow us and send troops in the name of Datang."

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't go around this detour.

Xue Rengui didn't give him a chance to think, and continued: "Secondly, the reason for sending troops is not the merchant, but... Do you know what it means that the merchant was killed?"

Ning Yuanguo hesitated for a while, then shook his head.

Just a merchant.

Xue Rengui raised his hand and pointed to his head: "This means that Dalang's bank has a bad debt."

"Wu Niangzi has worked so hard for so long, whether it's the bank or other workshops, so far she hasn't had a single bad debt."

"But you killed that businessman, and both Da Lang and Miss Wu got a bad debt innocently."

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom's heart skipped a beat.

In other words... From his point of view, he didn't offend Lord Zhengyang, did he actually offend him?
A small incident can have such serious consequences.

"So... Do you have any objections to what I just said?" Xue Rengui asked the last time with a cold tone.

The king of Ningyuan Kingdom shook his head with difficulty.

It's not bad to be a part of the Tang Dynasty, but... this way of becoming is somewhat unsatisfactory, although Ningyuan and Goguryeo are far apart.

But he has also heard about Goguryeo.

Only those who take the initiative to seek refuge in Datang, such as Baekje and Silla, will have a good end.

I don't know what will happen to me.
