From eunuch to emperor

Zhao Jing's words dispelled Zhu Yong's arrogance, and Xue Ping also said: "Shi Le was defeated in Yangcheng, and he is about to vent his anger on someone. Let's retreat first."

"We went deep into the hinterland just to contain the front-line troops, and we shouldn't go head-to-head with Shi Le."

Zhu Yong thought over and over again, and felt that what Zhao Jing and Xue Ping said made sense.

"Go, retreat!"

Zhu Yong made a decisive decision, immediately retreated with his troops and horses, and continued to plunder westward.

When Shi Le rushed to the city with his soldiers and horses, Zhu Yong's soldiers and horses had already fled away.

The cavalry general Sha Wenchen said: "Your Majesty, these are traitors who have turned to the enemy, and I request to be hunted down."

Shi Le said coldly: "Chasing and killing? If you have the ability, go and kill Long Chengen."

Sha Wenchen took a mouthful of mud and dared not say more.

Xiao Liang, the guard of the gate, opened the city immediately to welcome him.

"The last general, Xiao Liang, pays homage to the king."

Seeing that Xiao Liang was guarding the pass city, Shi Le comforted him happily: "General Xiao has worked hard, the defenders of the pass city are only a few thousand, it is not easy for you to hold the city."

Xiao Liang bowed and said: "As a general, he is responsible for guarding the land. This is a matter of his own duty. I dare not say that he has meritorious service."

Shi Le nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's go into the city."

Shi Le turned around and supported Monk Kong Ji to walk in, followed by Tie Yaozi and the monk soldiers.

Xiao Liang looked at the seriously injured Kong Ji and the listless Xixia soldiers behind him, and he already guessed that Yangcheng was broken.

The news of Yangcheng being besieged spread throughout Xixia, and Xiao Liang's city was not far away, so he naturally knew about it.

Xiao Liang also thought about reinforcing Yangcheng, but reason told him that the thousands of troops in Guancheng were useless.

It is more useful to defend Guancheng and give Shi Le a stable rear, so Xiao Liang defended Guancheng.

Now that Shi Le has returned from a big defeat in Yangcheng, Guancheng really worked.

The defeated soldiers slowly entered the city, Xiao Liang just watched.

Suddenly, Xiao Liang saw three soldiers walking in with their heads bowed. These three soldiers seemed to be wounded, but they were not walking slowly.

There were too many soldiers, Xiao Liang just took a look and then walked in without paying too much attention.

These three people were Shen Wanjin, Heifeng and Gan Xin pretending to be.

The three of them wore the armor of Xixia soldiers and followed the large army.

Shen Wanjin has been watching Kong Ji from afar, looking for opportunities along the way, but Shi Le has been by his side, Shen Wanjin dare not act rashly.

After entering Guancheng, the soldiers looked for places to rest one after another, Xiao Liang took out the grain and rice in the city, and distributed clean water.

The soldiers lay resting in the city, and the horses were tired.

The three of Shen Wanjin deliberately kept a distance from the others, and sat down next to the city wall.

"Lord, Kong Ji has entered the General's Mansion, and it will be even more difficult for us to attack."

Heifeng was a little disappointed, it stands to reason that it would be most appropriate to do it on the road.

It's a pity that Shi Le has been guarding Kong Ji and didn't find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Shen Wanjin shook his head and said, "No, the chances are better here."

"While on the road, Shi Le worried that Kong Ji's body would not be able to carry it, so he watched closely."

"After entering Guancheng, they will relax, and our chances are greater."

Gan Xin agreed with Shen Wanjin's point of view, and said: "It's really dark when it's dark under the lamp. After entering the general's mansion, Shi Le won't be guarding it all the time."

Shen Wanjin nodded slightly, several soldiers came over carrying a basket of pancakes, picked up three and threw them to Shen Wanjin.

"Brother, look at the face, whose soldier are you?"

Seeing that Shen Wanjin and the three of them were strangers, the soldier who distributed the cake asked casually.

Shen Wanjin said: "We just joined the army not long ago, and we are not very familiar with the brothers."

The soldier who distributed the bread didn't really care, and left after asking.

Shen Wanjin gnawed on the bread, and slowly observed the defense of Guancheng.

When the sky gradually darkened, Shen Wanjin and the others moved quietly to the General's Mansion.

When they reached the backyard, the three of them quietly crossed the city wall and entered the General's Mansion.

A few monks and soldiers stood guard outside a room, and several military doctors came in and out, splashing a basin of blood from time to time.

He worked until very late, before the military doctor came out of the room, gave instructions to the monks at the door, and then straddled the medicine box and left the courtyard.

After the people left, the courtyard became quiet, and the monks and soldiers were exhausted, so they slept against the pillars at the door.

Gan Xin walked over quietly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and the monk guarding the gate slowly fell down.

Shen Wanjin and Hei Feng followed slowly and went outside the room.

It's quiet inside.

Hei Feng gently pushed open the door, and saw Monk Kong Ji naked, with gauze wrapped around his abdomen, blood stained the gauze, and Monk Kong Ji was sleeping.

Long Chen Bainiaochaofeng's marksmanship is strange, he can use five shots at a time, Kong Ji was stabbed once, and his abdomen was seriously injured.

Due to blood loss and fleeing, Kong Ji's body was very weak.

After the military doctor treated him, Kong Ji began to fall asleep.

Quietly walking to the bed, Gan Xin carefully exhaled a puff of smoke towards Kong Ji.

Under the light, Shen Wanjin could clearly see Kong Ji sucking the smoke into his nose.

After a while, Gan Xin nodded slightly and said, Hei Feng and Shen Wanjin shot together, tied up Kong Ji's hands and feet.

The two carried Monk Kongji on their shoulders and walked out slowly.

When they reached the edge of the city wall, Hei Feng carried Monk Kong Ji on his back, and the three jumped over the courtyard wall, and then slowly touched the city wall.

Guancheng was on high alert at night, and the sentries were staring at the surroundings to guard against sneak attacks by the Long family army.

Shen Wanjin waited for a while, and finally waited for an opportunity, the three of them flew out of the city wall with emptiness, and quickly disappeared into the night.

After running dozens of miles away from Guancheng, Gan Xin led the way into an inn.

When he walked in, the shopkeeper of the inn immediately came out to greet him.

"This subordinate pays homage to the hall master."

The shopkeeper saluted respectfully, but Gan Xin ignored it, and immediately said: "It's a clean house, no one can come near it."

The shopkeeper said: "There is an underground secret room in the backyard."

Gan Xin was slightly joyful, and said, "Lead the way!"

The shopkeeper personally led the way, and when he arrived at the backyard of the inn, he saw a thatched hut.

The shopkeeper pushed away the thatched shed, and then pulled a wooden board from under the bed, and saw a secret passage going down.

Gan Xin walked in front with an oil lamp, Hei Feng was in the middle, and Shen Wanjin followed behind.

When he arrived at the secret room in the basement, Heifeng carefully put Monk Kongji on the bed and lay down, and then brought thick iron chains to bind Monk Kongji's hands and feet.

"Go out, no one will come near without my order."

With all the equipment ready, Shen Wanjin couldn't wait to pry the secret about the Wild Lion Art from Kong Ji's mouth.

But the Wild Lion Art is a top secret, Shen Wanjin doesn't want anyone to know about it.

Gan Xin and Hei Feng obediently exited the secret room, and sealed the upper wooden boards again.

Hei Feng stayed in the thatched hut, and Gan Xin asked, "Aren't you going to take a rest?"

Hei Feng shook his head and said: "The host is below, I want to guard, Hall Master Gan can go on his own."

Gan Xin took out the pipe and said, "I'm going to take a rest, I'm exhausted."

Gan Xin hooked his waist and turned to leave, white smoke coming out of the pipe in his hand.

Seeing that Gan Xin had left, Hei Feng sat on the bed to rest.

Gan Xin arrived in front of the inn, the shopkeeper immediately came up to meet him, Gan Xin gave a wink, and the shopkeeper immediately said: "The hall master is here to rest."

Gan Xin extinguished the dry cigarette and went to a guest room on the first floor.

After entering the guest room, the shopkeeper pointed to under the bed, Gan Xin nodded, and the shopkeeper went out.
