Chapter 178: Retreat from the enemy
Lai Xing'er leaned over and helped Tang Kuan up with his own hands, forcibly held back the heavy urine on Tang Kuan's body, and explained to him: "Although this matter is a little difficult to say it, it is a little difficult for Lord Tang to be suspicious, but in my opinion, as long as Lord Tang is really willing to serve the imperial court, it can still be done."

Tang Kuan didn't know what to do, so he just stood and listened to Xing'er continue to speak.
"We urgently need to know the number of troops stationed in Chang'an City, the deployment of troops in various key places in the city, and who is the commander of Tubo who led the army to capture Chang'an, and where is his Chinese army tent. I wonder if Master Tang would like to find out this news for us? ”
When Tang Kuan heard this, his heart immediately put it in his stomach. The news that Lai Xing'er asked him to inquire about, for him, he didn't even need to bother to inquire, and now he could tell Lai Xing'er on the spot.
However, once he had the certainty of surviving in the hands of Lai Xing'er and others, Tang Kuan's eyes rolled and he really cheated. He deliberately pretended to be very embarrassed, and bargained with Xing'er: "Little brother, how can an old man inquire about so many confidential military information." It is not easy for me to find out where the big tent of the Tibetan Chinese army is located, and who the commander is, and it is difficult to know other things unless the Tubo people regard me as a confidant. ”
Lai Xing'er observed the words and looks, and could be described as a little abacus in Tang Kuan's heart, so he intended to sell his personal favor, stared at Xin Twelve Niang, and responded as if he had made up his mind: "It's okay." As long as Lord Tang can find out the location of the big tent of the Chinese army in Tibet before this hour tomorrow, and inform me in time, we can trust Lord Tang to be worthy of the loyalty of the imperial court. Tomorrow afternoon, we will wait in the main hall of this Treasure Elephant Palace to wait for Lord Tang's good news, how about it? ”
The corners of Tang Kuan's mouth crossed a hint of an imperceptible smile, and he nodded again and again and replied: "Tang is doing his best, Tang is going to do ......" said, seeing that Xin Twelve Niang, Jiang Zhongshi and Jinping and the other three had no intention of embarrassing themselves anymore, so they turned around and ran away with their legs in three steps and two steps.
Tang Kuancai ran out of the hall, Jinping walked up to Lai Xing'er, smashed his waist and eyes, and said angrily: "Tell me quickly, what idea do you have in your belly?" is obviously a heinous traitor, but you let him go, you can't say that he is ugly, I can't spare you here. ”
Xin Twelve Niang also echoed: "Yes, kind boy, are we really going to stay in this palace tomorrow and wait for him to bring us news?" I'm just afraid that by then we will all be calculated by him. ”
Lai Xing'er smiled slyly and replied, "I also came up with this idea after I came into the hall and recognized him, now say it, let's think about it together." What the eldest lady said is not bad, most of this Tang Kuan has taken refuge in the Tubo people and become traitors, but now that we have disposed of him here, we have lost such a good opportunity to use him in vain, which is a pity, so I pretended to be confused and let him go. ”
"Take advantage of him?" Xin Twelve Niang's eyes rolled twice, and she asked puzzledly, "Do you want him to go to find out the commander of the Tubo army, and where is the big tent of the Chinese army?" ”
Lai Xing'er nodded yes, and seeing that everyone was unconvinced, he explained in detail: "Didn't the eldest lady and the little stone want to compete to see who killed more Tubo generals?" Determining the location of the big tent of the Tibetan Chinese army, isn't it just fulfilling the wishes of the two? However, I let Tang Kuan go, not only for these, but more importantly, to use his mouth to pass the word to the commander of the Tubo army, the Daming Palace does not stop, attracting their attention to us, making them like a man, difficult to sleep, this is what I want to achieve. ”
"I still don't get it. The assassination of the Tibetan generals needs to be carried out in secret, and you said that you want to attract the attention of the Tibetan people to a few of us, so how can you do the assassination? Are you killing yourself by doing so? Xin Twelve Niang still had doubts about Lai Xing'er's words, and asked worriedly.
"The sound strikes the west, and the virtual and the real are combined. The eldest lady and relax, after a few days, General Jing has news that when the official army begins to besiege Chang'an, there will be a chance for you to seal your throat with a sword and kill the commander of Tubo. However, now we still need to find something in the palace that can shock the hearts of the Tibetan people, so that we can shake the hearts of the Tibetan army in the future and create a favorable atmosphere for you and Xiaoshi to successfully capture the flag. Lai Xing'er didn't want to be too straightforward, so he led the topic elsewhere after clicking on it.
Xin Twelve Niang heard that Xing'er was very sure of what she said, and she looked like she was in her chest, although she still had something to understand in her heart, but she also understood that the purpose of Lai Xing'er was to disturb the military spirit of the Tubo people, so she didn't open her mouth to refute it again.
"Big brother, when I was in Dongjiacheng just now, I found something that may come in handy in the future." Since Jiang Zhongshi witnessed Lai Xing'er slashing two murderous sergeants with his own eyes in Songtai Village, at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, he ******** decided that Lai Xing'er would become a military god like Jing Yuncong, and he was loyal to Lai Xing'er.
"Little rock, did you find something like this?" Lai Xing'er turned his head, made a drum movement for Chongjiang Zhongshi, and asked.
"How do you know? Big brother, you're really a god. Jiang Zhongshi excitedly grabbed Xing'er's hand and blurted out praise.
"It's not surprising." Lai Xing'er explained with a smile, "I have lived in the city of Luo for a few days, and I know that the Tibetan people are the most fearful of the gods, and they usually use the wind and rain and thunder TV as a message from the gods to them. And if the drum on the east side of the drum tower of the Daming Palace beats, it is not similar to the rumbling thunder, to the day when the official army enters Chang'an, you only need to climb the drum tower, beat the big drum, most of the Chang'an City can hear this deafening drum, the Tubo sergeant will be mistaken for the gods to warn them, where do they dare to resist stubbornly, and resist the official army with all their might. ”
Jiang Zhongshi heard what Xing'er said, first grinned, and then seemed to think of something, pointed to Xin Twelve Niang and asked: "Big brother, when that day comes, I climbed the drum tower to beat the drums, can't she take the opportunity to kill a few more Tubo generals?" No, you should go and play the drums, I will have a happy competition with her, and judge the high. ”
Seeing that he was so sincere, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I originally thought that the person who beat the drum is usually the first warrior in the army, so I gave you this opportunity, if you don't do it, don't blame the big brother for robbing you of your first credit." ”
At that moment, everyone expressed their willingness to act according to Lai Xing'er's strategy, and they all silently hoped in their hearts that the official army would attack Chang'an City as soon as possible, so that they could show their skills and expel the invading enemy from Chang'an happily. Only Jinping went to Jingxuan's dormitory in the Baoxiang Palace, and Xue Qing's residence went around, but she didn't find an object that could be left by her side as a souvenir, and she was very disappointed.
According to Lai Xing'er's expectations, Tang Kuan will guide the Tubo soldiers to come to the Baoxiang Palace to arrest a few of them at noon tomorrow, and then Xin Twelve Niang can ambush near the Baoxiang Palace in advance, once Tang Kuo and the people are empty, they must return to the Tubo Chinese army tent to return the details to the Tubo commander, and then Xin Twelve Niang only needs to quietly follow behind them, and they can determine the location of the Tubo commander and the Chinese military tent, so as to facilitate future assassination operations. The other three, including Lai Xing'er, only need to leave the Daming Palace, return to the Guozi Prison Courtyard, and wait for the news of Jing Zhao and Bogo, so that they can not only ensure their own safety, but also successfully plant a nail in the heart of the Tubo commander, clearly telling him that there is still an internal line of the imperial court in the Daming Palace, making it difficult for him to concentrate all his energy on dealing with the officials and troops around Chang'an.
Several people have decided, so they don't stay in the Daming Palace too much, relying on the familiarity of Lai Xing'er and Jinping with the terrain of the Daming Palace, take another secluded path from the east gate of the Daming Palace out of the palace, and sneak back to the Guozijian unknowingly.
