The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Ling Lang was originally Daning's spy stationed in Northern Xia. He had been in Northern Xia since the late emperor's generation and had almost taken root in Northern Xia. Back then, Li Heng hooked up with the forces in Bei Xia and sold a lot of Daning's espionage information in Bei Xia. Ling Lang's group was lucky to escape, but after that, he kept a low profile until now. Ji City was about to come to Northern Xia, so the two sides got on the line again.

Therefore, to a certain extent, he did not know much about the current situation in Daning - especially their Majesty.

Of course, as a secret agent, he doesn't need to know many things very well. He only needs to follow the instructions of the people above him to complete them, and Ling Langyuan has always implemented this very well.

Although at a certain point he found that there were some issues that he really didn't want to complain about.

For example, at this time, under the cover of night, Ling Lang, who had already changed into night clothes, was facing two guys with reserved expressions standing in front of him. He finally couldn't help but ask his soul: "Your Majesty, we must bring these two people with us." Personally?"

He Xiao, who was still a little submissive at first, immediately said dissatisfied: "What, do you have any objections to taking us?!"

Ling Langyuan said in a tactful tone: "I don't mean anything else. It's just that the two little brothers don't know martial arts. If they follow, I'm afraid there will be danger."

Jicheng put on his wristband peacefully. He just got up from sleep and he was in good spirits now: "So you have to protect them when the time comes."

Ling Langyuan: "?"

He said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, your safety..."

Jicheng: "I don't need you for my safety."

He pointed at He Xiao and Liu Kehan, who were all dressed crookedly in night clothes: "Everyone will split up later. I will take a few people to sneak into the Northern Xia Palace alone, while the others will go to the city defense station and the residences of some important ministers - and Your first priority is to keep them both safe."

Upon hearing this, He Xiao and the two men immediately raised their chins and looked at Ling Langyuan with arrogant eyes.

Ling Langyuan: "..."

He once again failed to stick to the bottom line of his excellent spy: "Why?"

This time there was no need for Jicheng to answer, Liu Kehan ​​said first: "Just because we know how to use this thing!"

He pointed at the gunpowder packets piled behind him - these were the things that he and He Xiao had worked hard for several hours to make.

He Xiao helped provocatively from the side: "Can you do it?"

Ling Langyuan: "...No."

He Xiao: "If that's the case, then why are you talking so much? Just listen to His Majesty and protect me and my junior brother."

Liu Kehan ​​added next to him: "It's mainly senior brother. He has poor psychological quality and needs more protection."

He Xiao turned around and glared angrily: "You fart!"

Ling Langyuan: "..."

It's okay, he is just a spy, just follow his master's orders and don't worry about these two guys.

But they look really unreliable! !

Soon everyone packed their things and set off. Jicheng led the people and went straight to the Northern Xia Palace, while Ling Lang Principle led most of the people to the Beixia city defense station with He Xiao and Liu Kehan.

He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​kept bickering along the way. The two attacked each other from their psychological quality to their skill mastery to their dark history of wearing crotchless pants.

Ling Langyuan, who was listening nearby, was also very tired. While staring at the two people to prevent them from fighting, he thought tiredly - can this really be reliable?

Will they really not fail to do what His Majesty ordered if they continue to argue like this?

However, when they approached the location of the city defense, the two noisy guys fell silent as if some switch had been suddenly pressed.

He Xiao raised his head and looked at the buildings in the distance: "This city defense station is quite big. It may not be enough to pile gunpowder on the outside... Is there a dog hole? We have to get in."

Liu Kehan: "Where do they put the grain and grass? It's better to fry the grain and grass. Those things are flammable and are easier to burn."

Ling Langyuan: "...There are no dog holes in the city defense station."

He Xiao said flatly: "Impossible, I heard you and His Majesty talking about it before."

Ling Langyuan: "..."

Pretty smart at this time, huh?

Ling Lang had just said that there was no dog hole, which was just a casual comment subconsciously. He Xiao and the others asked for this. Of course, he had to implement the orders of his superiors. So the group of people walked around the city defense station and found the dog hole, one after another. Drilled in one by one.

It was late at night, and there were not many soldiers in the city defense station. Only a few important places were guarded. Ling Langyuan and his party watched from a distance, but did not approach.

After He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​visually inspected these buildings, they gathered together and murmured for a long time. Finally, they used tree branches to draw pictures on the sand and pointed out the different locations of these buildings: "Here, here, here, and here are their houses. The weak points of the structure and the materials used are also flammable. You go and pile gunpowder in these locations. The fuse we prepared is not enough, so we have to use gunpowder to extend it. "

Ling Langyuan felt dizzy after hearing the professional terms used by these two people. He thought of Jicheng's instructions and quickly asked others to follow them, while he himself stayed by their sides to prevent accidents.

The guards followed the instructions one by one. After He Xiao commanded remotely, they went to check separately. In the process, they corrected a few incorrect positions of the leads, and the rest of the placement was fine. So the group of people quickly climbed out through the dog hole and visited the residences of several important ministers of Northern Xia according to the list given by Jicheng.

There was no need to sneak into the residences of these important officials as before. He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​ordered the guards to bury the things in a hidden place outside the residence, and left a guard to guard each of them. They were told to light the fuse when they heard a big noise from the direction of the palace, and then find a way to escape outside the city.

Then they returned to the city defense station.

This place was of great importance, and the amount of gunpowder was the largest except for the palace. He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​did not dare to neglect it, so they came back to guard it personally.

Ling Langyuan stayed here with them, and the rest of the people scattered and left to prepare for the escape from Beixia later. Ling Langyuan did not quite understand why Ji Cheng ordered him to evacuate, but looking at the big battle of the collective action tonight, he felt that he seemed to understand.

After confirming that all the fuses were correct, He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​seemed to relax a lot, and started chatting again while hiding in a hidden corner.

He Xiao: "After I do this, my master and other junior brothers will be so impressed by me when I go back."

Liu Kehan: "More than that, with how timid you are, you'll have enough to brag about for the rest of your life - no, it should be the rest of your life."

He Xiao: "Why do you always mention my courage, driver!"

Liu Kehan: "Do you have any problem with my skills?!"

He Xiao: "Yes!!"

He turned his head suddenly: "Old Ling, come and judge!"

Ling Langyuan: "...What?"

As the two talked, they were about to fight again. Ling Langyuan was thinking about whether to cover their mouths to prevent the quarrel from attracting enemies. Suddenly, something seemed to light up in the distance.

Ling Langyuan stood up: "What sound?"

He Xiao and Liu Kehan ​​were stunned. The next second, a fire suddenly broke out in the sky, followed by a loud rumbling sound, and even the ground was slightly shaken.

The two of them jumped up suddenly: "Go and light the fire!"

Ling Langyuan realized what happened, and he rushed out quickly, took out a fire starter from his arms and lit the gunpowder fuses that had been set up before. He Xiao and the others, who had seen the power of gunpowder, rushed even faster than him.

The fuses were lit one by one, and the three of them didn't have time to say anything, and hurried out again along the previous dog hole.

The tremor at the foot had already stopped, and the rumbling explosion sounded smaller, but the blazing fire in the distance was still there, illuminating half of the dark night sky with a fiery red. The first moment Ling Langyuan crawled out, he couldn't help being shocked.

There were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the city defense station. It was obvious that the noise from the direction of the palace was too loud, and the officers rushed to the city defense station to gather and get weapons.

However, they didn't know what was waiting for them next--

Ling Langyuan and the other two got out and identified the direction, and then hurried to the city gate.

——Now the people of Beixia don’t quite know what they are about to encounter, but when they react in a while, it will be difficult for them to escape.

They had already planned the escape route in detail, so everyone was not very panicked at this time.

After avoiding several dangers, Ling Langyuan and the other two successfully got out of the city and met up with the people who were waiting for them, and the guards who stayed outside the mansions of several important officials also arrived smoothly.

When they came, they heard several explosions on the way. There was no doubt that the city defense station and the mansions of those important officials were in trouble.

The guards who came from Daning with Ji Cheng were excited: "These Beixia bastards must be panicking now!"

"I really want to see their expressions when they see the explosion!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Ling Langyuan couldn't help but open his mouth: "...Uh, so, why hasn't your majesty arrived yet?"

——

At this time, Ji Cheng was still in the capital of Beixia.

Previously, Ling Langyuan bought a carriage to transport goods to the Beixia Palace, and they and the prepared things were successfully transported into the palace. Under Ji Cheng's arrangement, they successfully buried gunpowder outside several palaces that Tuoba Qi often visited. When the scheduled time came, they immediately ignited the fuse and fled.

And everything went as he imagined - several important palaces were blown up, the collapsed beams gradually burned and the fire spread, the palace people and guards were all in a hurry to put out the fire and look for Tuoba Qi, and they had no time to pay attention to Ji Cheng and others who were fleeing against the flow of people.

The palace guards were in chaos, and it was not a problem for Ji Cheng and others to rush out in the chaos.

But sometimes things would not go so smoothly.

For example, when Ji Cheng rushed out, he ran into a guard.

This guard was different from the previous leaderless palace guards. Its leader was wearing armor and had a very familiar face - Li Heng, the former regent of Daning and the current national teacher of Beixia.

And Li Heng was also very familiar with Ji Cheng's face.

He had heard the noise in the palace and hurriedly gathered his men to rush over. Now, when he suddenly saw Ji Cheng's face near the palace gate, he was shocked. Oh, and there was also a thought that "all the shit in the world is really related to this kid".

However, now Ji Cheng appeared alone in the capital of Beixia, and Li Heng had a whole guard behind him.

So Li Heng calmed down, calmed down, became steady, and dignified (crossed out).

He waved his hand and ordered the guards behind him to disperse and stop the man, sneering: "Look who this is——"

Ji Cheng suddenly shouted: "Uncle!!"

Li Heng was stunned by the shouting. The next second, he saw Ji Cheng quickly took out a fire stick from his arms, lit a string of something, and threw it towards him.

He didn't have time to dodge the horse, and the string of things had already fallen sideways, crackling and exploding in an instant.

The horse was frightened instantly, and regardless of the people on it, it rushed forward with a crazy neigh.

The guards who were originally lined up in a row immediately became chaotic, and many soldiers were thrown off the horses. Li Heng grabbed the reins and didn't get thrown out, but he was not much better - he didn't even have time to draw his sword to hit Ji Cheng, and was instantly carried away by the horse under him.

At the same time, Ji Cheng's voice rang out loudly: "The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, uncle, your nephew wishes you a happy new year!!"
