Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

"Your Highness."

Bai Yuan approached, and said in a low voice: "All the people in the city have been settled properly. People are not allowed to approach the garrison, so they can't figure it out, but there are only a few hundred iron stupas at most, and the rest are kidnappers."

Bai Yuan glanced at the golden soldiers in front of the city gate: "Based on the strength of our remaining troops, combined with the gunpowder hidden in the battalion... as long as the iron Buddha in Yingcheng can't be seen, we will be able to fight."

Xiao Shuo nodded, took the rein in his hand, and straightened the black horse's mane.

What the Han people called "kidnapper horses" were actually the light cavalry of the Jin people.

These light cavalry armor only cover half of their body and are not bound by heavy armor. Relying on their superb riding and shooting, they patrol the two wings of the Iron Buddha Tu.

In recent years, the power of the Jin people has become stronger, and it is these kidnappers who have repeatedly released them to harass the border, burn, kill and loot wantonly.

"Although this Pang He is useless, it is actually useful at this time."

Bai Yuan looked towards the gate of the city, looked at Pang Xia who was commanding and ordering the guards of the gate, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Your Highness actually thought of bringing him here, so I really want to make the best use of it."

"He's full of ideas about getting promoted and getting rich." Dao Scar disdainfully said, "Tell him that he can return to the capital and become a high official in the capital after he has made meritorious service, and he dares to jump even if you tell him to jump the city wall."

Bai Yuan smiled: "Isn't it good? The more people like this, the more convenient it is for us to do things..."

To force the kidnappers out of the city, it is not enough to induce chaos in the city of Shuozhou.Xiao Shuo and Yun Lang made plans together, and planned to take another risky battle, pretending to be the envoy of King Xiang to spread the word, and lured the kidnapper out of the city to rescue the siege of the city.

Pang Xia was kept in the dark, completely unaware that the Pang family and King Xiang were now mixed together.He devoted himself to accumulating credit for promotion, he had a feast to lure the enemy last time, he became a lot more courageous, and he even longed for the dream of returning to Beijing.

Last night in Yunzhou City, he got Xiao Shuo's promise that "with today's achievements, he can be promoted to the third level and return to Beijing to take a job". city.

"I told you earlier, we are the envoys sent by King Xiang, and we want to meet your rulers!"

Pang Jue looked at people everywhere in Beijing, and he knew best how to see people to order.He had already bluffed the guards at the city gate at this time, slapped the token over, and scowled with a sullen expression, "Hurry up!"

The garrison had been ordered by Yang Xianyou, and looked at the token only available to the Zodiac Envoy, but still hesitated: "Now that Yingcheng is besieged, how are you..."

"Of course I came out at the risk of death! If it wasn't urgent, I would lie comfortably in the city and survive Shuofang's army to death. Come out and take this risk?"

Pang Jue was in a hurry: "It's not too late to burn your butt, but you missed an important military plane, can you be responsible?!"

The defender was speechless, lowered his head and closed his mouth.

The main army's Tiefutu was taken over by the Zhen Rong army who appeared out of nowhere, and now all of them are trapped in Yingcheng.The original military adviser in the middle watched coldly and was not allowed to go out of the city to rescue them. After these few days, the Shuozhou Jin Army had already suffered from anxiety.

The defender wanted to question him a few more times, but at this moment he was told to scold him, but he became more and more anxious, he stopped asking more questions, and hurriedly opened the city to lead the way.

Satisfied with his ambition, Pang Xia threw off the defenders and took back the token, and respectfully invited Xiao Shuo into the city.

In the city of Shuozhou, upon hearing that King Xiang's envoy had arrived, Yang Xianyou and the soldiers and horse commanders of the Jin people had rushed to the main hall of the mansion.

"Quick! What does King Xiang say?"

The golden man commanded in a deep voice: "What's wrong with my army, is there any damage, when will we go out of the city to rescue?"

"The lord said—" Bai Yuan paused for a while, as if he had just heard his words clearly, he was a little stunned, "Why, didn't Tongzhi receive a message from the lord before?"

Jin Renguan frowned: "What message?"

Bai Yuan and Xiao Shuo looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and looked at Yang Xianyou who was beside him.

"Hurry up and talk! Are you Han people so dilly-dallying?"

The Jin ruler came with the emperor's eldest son, but left Wanyan Shao in Yingcheng. He was already extremely aggrieved and annoyed, but now he became more impatient: "When did King Xiang send the message, and what did he say?"

Bai Yuan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "The soldiers of your country are very brave, but they are not good at sneaking out of the city. The prince has repeatedly sent his confidants to risk their lives to spread the word on Tie Futu's behalf, saying that the golden soldiers were poisoned and destroyed their horses. Unaccustomed to the environment and fell ill... the control system has not received it even once?"

The golden man control's face suddenly turned cold, and he said sharply: "What happened to the eldest prince?!"

Bai Yuan was stunned, met Xiao Shuo's gaze, and collected himself: "I also got sick...but I can still support it."

The situation is urgent, and the two sides have no time to communicate with each other.Only then did Bai Yuan know that such an important person was imprisoned in the city. He had no time to think about it for a while, so he secretly changed his mind and continued to follow Xiao Shuo's instructions: "This time, when I sneak out of the city, Your Majesty is still waiting." Ask me to ask. Why are the kidnappers and horses turning a blind eye to the repeated orders, and no half-response?"

"How long have we been gone!" the Golden Man Commander gritted his teeth and said urgently, "I haven't received the order from the First Prince, how should I react?"

"Never received it?"

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment: "But on the day I was besieged by the Shuofang army, I sent someone to ask Shuozhou to come and rescue me, and they clearly arrived at the gate of Shuozhou city."

"If troops were sent out at that time, and the two sides attacked, Shuofang's army would undoubtedly be defeated."

Bai Yuan sighed sadly: "It's a pity that Shuozhou City didn't respond, and the opportunity was lost for nothing..."

"Nonsense." Yang Xianyou said in a deep voice, "How could this happen!"

Yang Xianyou came to Shuozhou under the order of King Xiang, and had no communication with the main city since the siege.He thought it was King Xiang who really sent the Zodiac Envoy, but at this moment, the more he heard it, the more wrong it became, and he couldn't help but feel chills: "Who are you waiting for, what is your intention to come here to turn black and white?!"

"I really want to ask." Xiao Shuo said slowly, "Who are you?"

Yang Xianyou raised his head in astonishment.

"When I came to Shuozhou City this time, I saw the guards in front of the gate interrogating me, and then I realized that Shuozhou had blinded people and deafened their ears."

Xiao Shuo said: "Sending people to intercept and interrogate in this way, is it to stop the spies of the Shuofang army, or to block the news from Yingcheng?"

The more the golden ruler listened to the dispute between them, the more ugly his face became, and he grabbed the gold cup on the table.

"It's you……!"

Yang Xianyou's back was cold, Xiao Shuo changed his face, he couldn't see the person's face, but he recognized Xiao Shuo's voice: "Where did you get the Zodiac Order?"

Yang Xianyou suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed the token, and quickly groped for the hidden star position on it.

He is not good at war at all, it's just that there are not many people available at the moment, he was ordered to come to Shuozhou City to contact the Jinren, and his mind is still on the turmoil in Beijing.

Go up to attack and plan, and go down to attack the city.If King Xiang listened to him, and didn't retreat to this remote northern border, and use the forces ensnared and coerced by the Test Shuangtang to carefully plan and secretly instigate a rebellion, taking advantage of the snipe and clam strife, they might not be able to get something out of it.

But Xiao Shuo, who was supposed to confront the Emperor tit for tat in the capital, actually came to Northern Xinjiang, holding the token of the Zodiac Envoy in his hand!

Yang Xianyou groped carefully, his face turned completely pale: "Po Jun, Po Jun..."

Breaking the army, the sky is rushing to the position.

Shang Ke.

Shang Ke died in Xiao Shuo's hands, so he was deprived of this token?But the poisonous needle hidden in the token has clearly not been activated yet, Shang Ke is still alive... Could it be that Xiao Shuo got the token from him?How did you get it, besides the token, did you get anything else?

Now Shang Ke is ordered to stay in the capital to integrate the forces of Shuangshitang and the court, if even this person is subdued by Xiao Shuo and Yun Lang...

"kill him!"

Yang Xianyou turned to the golden man rule, and for the first time, his calm face could not suppress the fear: "This is the royal blood of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is the son of the king Duan who made you fearful in northern Xinjiang! Now he is back, and he also brought a I killed the person you fear the most, not only for us, but also to settle with you first..."

"Kill him!" Yang Xianyou's voice was hoarse, "If we don't kill him, we will all die sooner or later!"

"Your Excellency's words are bizarre."

Xiao Shuo said: "If I'm the son of Prince Duan, shouldn't I have a blood feud with the current imperial court and come to fight for the imperial court?"

Yang Xianyou told him to stop, he was at a loss for words for a while: "You—"

"If it's about identity, I have another question below."

Xiao Shuo's eyes fell on him, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared: "Yang Ge always wants to open the Frost Testing Hall in Shuozhou City, and there are other places. I also burned several houses and demolished two or three places."

"Testing Shuangtang's theory clearly denounces the tribes in northern Xinjiang as 'barbarians' and 'uncivilized people', saying that they are not to be feared. .”

Xiao Shuo said slowly: "Elder Yang Ge still has an official position in the court and enjoys the support of a university scholar. But he worked so hard to come to Shuozhou city pretending to be the subordinate of King Xiang, is it for the so-called 'vertical and horizontal means'?"

When Yang Xianyou saw Shang Ke's token, his heart was in confusion.Seeing that the golden man control heard this sentence, the murderous intent in his sight soared, and he felt a chill in his throat, and sat on the seat in a daze.

The golden ruler stared at him gloomyly: "What else do you have to say? Could it be that what he said is true?"

"Controlling Mingcha... No matter how cleverly he pretends, it is really inconvenient to leave the city at this time."

Yang Xianyou clenched his palms in cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "Shuofang's army waits for work with leisure, and recently they have been supplemented by horses. Kidnapper horses... Kidnapper horses are not opponents. Now they are leaving the city to seek their own death. These people are spies from the Central Plains..."

"You are like a spy from the Central Plains. Tiefutu can't be used in the city at all, and the Shuofang army has already filled up the trench!"

Dao Scar was always standing behind Xiao Shuo, and now he said in a muffled voice, "If you don't come to rescue me, do you really have to wait for the Central Plains army to encircle you?"

"Iron Buddha Tu can't be used in the city, but the Central Plains people can't destroy them either."

Yang Xianyou said in a low voice, "The Imperial Army of the Central Plains is weak and mighty, so they can only fill in the numbers. Just hold your breath and wait——when King Xiang's reinforcements arrive, the outcome is uncertain..."

Xiao Shuo said slowly: "Master Yang Ge is clear in his heart that King Xiang's reinforcements will not arrive?"

Yang Xianyou shivered, but finally stopped talking.

"My lord said that since the two families conspired together, they should be sincere, lest others use this matter as a fake game."

Xiao Shuo handed over the Jinren Commander: "Our reinforcements can't arrive, so we can only fight to the death to help Tiefutu. King Xiang thought twice and decided to tell the truth. Your army decides whether to fight or retreat."

"Okay, King Xiang is happy!" The golden man slammed the golden cup on the ground, "This is a bit of a hero!"

Yang Xianyou sat paralyzed by the side, his face completely ashen.

King Xiang's plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves.He originally wanted to use his so-called reinforcements to hold back the Jinren, and let Tie Futu and Shuofang's army fight to kill each other, but he didn't expect Xiao Shuo to be so courageous.

If the Shuofang army dared to lure the kidnapper out of the city at this time, there must be a backup... What kind of backup?

How many plans do these two people have, hiding under the current turbulence, turning into a rocky reef, waiting to smash them to pieces?

Broken bones and claws removed, iron thorns and cold ice, can tame the most ferocious beasts, why can't they tame a truly loyal hand?

Yang Xianyou met Xiao Shuo's gaze, and saw the dungeon of Dali Temple that day in a daze.

In the dungeon, Yun Lang was bound by iron chains and immersed in icy water. His breath was already dying, and only a little heat remained in his heart.

There was no ambition in those eyes, tired and calm to the point of relief, but there was still a gleam of light in the depths of the pupils that looked like dark ink.

At that time, he didn't know what this little light was, but now he vaguely understood it, but it was completely too late.

……

Yang Xianyou's eyes moved with difficulty, he looked at Xiao Shuo, and then at the frontless epee at his waist from the Dianqian Division.

The battle is imminent, and the outcome is on the mind.

He knew that there was no way out today, and he also knew that with the blood of loyal and good people on his hands, it was hard to find a good end.It's just a plan for life, if it can be killed by this sword, it won't be a joke——

This idea only hovered in his mind for a moment, and his neck was already cold.

Feeling the pain later, Yang Xianyou slumped in the chair, gurgling twice in his throat, looking at the blood dripping from the scimitar at the golden man's waist.

Xiao Shuo pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword, his eyes were so cold that there were no ripples, and he had no intention of pulling out the sheath.

The strength disappeared rapidly, the whole body was completely cold, and the silence and darkness invaded head-on.

Yang Xianyou tilted his body, fell down, opened his eyes and was silent.

"I don't know where you came from, and I don't know which of the two of you is telling the truth, but I really hate this old dog... You are a good guy, killing him for you today is a gift."

The golden man controlled the blood from the tip of his knife and stared at Xiao Shuo: "If you dare to lie to me, you will end up with him, understand?"

Xiao Shuo lowered his gaze and calmly cupped his hands.

The ruler of Jin wiped his scimitar clean: "You can tell King Xiang, when will you go to battle?"

"Before sunset." Xiao Shuo said, "It will take some time for the troops in the city to regroup."

"Okay." The golden ruler stared at him, "Your identities are unknown, you must stay here and send someone to guard you."

Xiao Shuo nodded.

"Finally, it looks good... King Xiang has a subordinate like you, so I believe he can take over the Central Plains."

The golden man ruled back his sight, put the scimitar back into its sheath, and strode out the door, "Leave a team to defend the city, and the rest will immediately call for armor, and come out of the city with me to attack the Shuofang army before sunset, and save the main city!"

Immediately someone outside responded, and ran quickly to deliver the order.

The golden man was martial, and within a short while, there was the sound of fighting and armor outside the window, and the ground trembled slightly due to the trampling of the horse's hooves.

Today the clouds are also quiet, and the sun's head is stimulated by the soaring murderous aura, and moves quickly.

Seeing that the untimely time has passed, and the application time has not yet passed, I don't know where the wind starts to blow.The originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, the bamboo pieces outside the window bumped more and more urgently, and the bone-chilling wind swept across the window lattice, as if a faint dampness was blowing in.

The sun has not yet set, and thick clouds have layered up.

"The major general was right...the rain is coming."

Bai Yuan took Pang Ha who had fainted from fright to the side, approached and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Jin people have dispatched troops, shall we do it?"

Xiao Shuo stood in front of the window, covering Yun Lang's sleeve arrow guard on his right wrist.

The jade quality of the wristband is slightly cool, shiny and transparent, and it sticks to the palm.

Xiao Shuo warmed the piece of jade, retracted his hand, and clasped the wrist armor: "Wait."

"Yes." Bai Yuan replied, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "What are you waiting for?"

The wind outside the window became colder, Xiao Shuo pressed the hilt of his sword, and remained silent for a moment: "People's hearts."

Bai Yuan was startled slightly.

On the city wall of Yingcheng, there was already a panic.

Lian Chun looked at the kidnappers leaving the city, anxious: "Who told them to leave the city? Why didn't they stop them? What is Wen Qu doing?!"

"I don't know." Next to him, the spy was kneeling on the ground, "We wanted to enter the city to investigate, but we were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate of Shuozhou City..."

"What did they stop you from doing!"

Lian Zhen said coldly: "You never showed the prince's token?"

The spy had a bitter face: "It's on, but you're not allowed to enter..."

"Wen Qu is crazy?" Lian Zhen was stunned, "It's just that the political views are different. After this period, it's not that he is not allowed to return to Beijing to display his abilities—"

In the middle of speaking, Lian Zhu's face suddenly became completely pale.

Wenqu is mature and prudent, and he has been a confidant of King Xiang for many years. Even if he is dissatisfied with the arrangement of retreating to the northern border, he will not be so ignorant.

Yang Xianyou will not be ignorant of the importance... But in Shuozhou City today, people with King Xiang's keepsake are not allowed to enter.

The city of Shuozhou has long been devoid of civilians, and the kidnappers of Jin Bing almost left the city.

Now in Shuozhou City, if it is not Jinbing, nor Wenqu...

Not Jin Bing!Not Wenqu!

"Quick!" Lian Zhen's eyes were about to burst, he turned around and rushed back, "Gather the young and strong in the city to defend the city, tie up their wives, children and parents, and put them on top of the city!"

He was so anxious that the roof was set on fire, and he arrested people to report to King Xiang. He was about to arrange troops when he suddenly heard a faint voice from outside the city: "What voice?!"

"Xun sound."

The detective's face was also pale: "There are probably dozens or hundreds of them from the Yin Mountains, and the wind is blowing towards us..."

The Xun is almost the most readily available musical instrument in northern Xinjiang. It can be made of clay, stones, and bones. It can be carried with one hand, and children can easily learn how to play it while playing.

Tao Xun is clear and clear, Shi Xun is bleak, and Gu Xun is sobbing and desolate, scattered into the strong wind.

""Qin Feng"."

The detective said tremblingly: ""No Clothes"..."

The ups and downs of an ancient song that has been passed down for thousands of years, the sound of the xun is scattered in the wind, and the spring thunder rumbles and rolls among the clouds that crush the city.

Xun sound, and then into the human voice.The hoarse and deep human voice was like weeping blood, but it was so vigorous that nothing could hold it back.

Qi said that he has no clothes, and the same robe with his son.

Do you say no clothes?In the same robe as the son, Wang Yuxing master, repairing my spear.

……

The same hatred with the son.

In Yingcheng, the people who were hastily bound and driven staggered and fell to the ground, falling into the thick ancient rumors brought in by the wind before the rain.

Back off, back off, back off.

There is no way to retreat, still enduring, still enduring.

Endure until you are displaced, endure until your country is ruined and your family dies, endure until you don't even know how to resist, and leave your life in the hands of others!

Same to die.

The same will die!

The young man with thin muscles and bones roared in a low voice, his eyes turned red in the sound of the xun, and he desperately bumped away the vicious officers and soldiers: "Come with the knife!"

The faces of the officers and soldiers changed suddenly, and they were about to sternly reprimand, but the old scythe had already been severely pierced into their chests.

Someone rushed up, punched him with his fist, bit his teeth, tore off the saber from his body, and threw it to the boy who had just shouted.

The rest of the guards didn't have time to react, and when they were about to draw their swords to suppress them, they were completely overwhelmed by the crowd who rushed forward with their bare hands.

The sound of the xun was high and shrill, like a horn sounding to restrain the clouds, sending out the fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

After Yanmen closed, white phosphorus and flint pierced the gloomy sky, and under the order of thunder, the stagnant grief and anger in the chest were exploded. Everyone suddenly raised their heads and fixed their eyes on the familiar light.

The bright light stays in the frost blade, and the flowing clouds move the wind and thunder.

All the kidnappers and horses had left the city to line up, and when the golden leader saw the flames in the distance, his heart suddenly became cold, and he subconsciously ordered to retreat.

When the horse turned back, the golden army banner was no longer above the city of Shuozhou.
