As soon as the sky dawned, Ma Lin took over the defense of the south gate with 500 people, and yesterday Zhang Qing, Tao Zongwang, and Ou Peng had already taken turns to guard.

After the Western Xia people withdrew yesterday, the prince immediately announced that all the soldiers who participated in the war would be rewarded with ten yuan, and the casualties would be doubled.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the soldiers and horses in the city can hear that the city guards have such a heavy reward for more than an hour. Everyone is gearing up, and they can't wait to stay in the city all the time.

Ma Lin's soldiers and horses had eaten early, and they were assembled before the time for the change of guard. Ma Lin also knew that everyone was eager to fight, so he immediately took over the defense of the South Gate with soldiers and horses.

After Gong Wang withdrew with his soldiers and horses, Zhang Qing heard that Ma Lin had taken over the south gate, so he also asked Ding Desun to lead his troops to replace Ma Lin's soldiers who had been guarding the west gate all night.

In the morning light, the gilded roofs shine, and the magnificent architecture makes the royal palace of Western Xia extraordinary. Every party member who sees the palace in the distance will have respect in his heart.

But all this is just a good palace in the eyes of the Great Liang soldiers and horses, and after occupying Xingqing Mansion, all the soldiers can enter and leave the palace of Western Xia at will.

The wide hall has become a place for Chao Yong and the soldiers to barbecue, and the solemn place of the Xixia people has become a place for the Liang soldiers to enjoy themselves.

The lord and queen mother of Western Xia were imprisoned in a side hall, and their access was restricted, and it was no longer possible for the Li family to lead troops to loot Shaanxi.

Shi Yong and Xue Yong gathered in front of the palace with two hundred princes' personal soldiers, preparing to follow the prince on the expedition.

The well-dressed armor of the Great Liang, the majestic war horse of Western Xia, and the majestic man who is one in a hundred, although it is only two hundred, but it has the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Chao Yong took Sun Li, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong out of the back on horseback and stopped in front of everyone. Said: "Today should be the last battle, get on the horse." ”

"Yes"

Although everyone didn't know why today would be the last battle, no one doubted the prince's words, turned over in unison, and followed the prince to the south gate.

The people in the city have been accustomed to the occupation of the Liang soldiers and horses, except for the first day to kill some large households, the second day to kill some people who do not want to shave their heads, usually the Liang soldiers and horses do not disturb them.

On the contrary, under the vigilance of the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang, the public order has never been better. There is no rampage of the aristocracy, and there is no oppression of the petty officials. The people also gradually became active, shuttling through the streets.

Xingqing Mansion seems to have become a Buddhist holy place, and the men who walk are all bald.

The people in the city also knew that it was the prince who led the troops, and saw the prince leading the soldiers and horses out of the palace. They all bowed their heads and hid on both sides of the road to show their obedience.

The group did not ride their horses down the street, but slowly on the road.

Chao Yong also looked at the Xixia shops on both sides of the road with great interest, the Xixia occupied the Hexi Corridor, and the merchants who traveled between the Central Plains and the Western Regions had to pass through the Western Xia, and the merchants of the Western Xia could also buy goods from various countries.

Chao Yong just looked at the flowers, and saw many things with different styles, and he knew that they came from the West far away by looking at the patterns and colors. But it's busy. Chao Yong wasn't in the mood to look for those things.

On the right side of the road, two bald men argued and fought together.

Chao Yong heard the movement and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

As soon as he turned his head, he heard the sound of a bowstring on his left. Turning his head, he saw that there was a person squatting on the roof on the left, and an arrow had broken through the air and hit Chao Yong's throat.

Chao Yong is also worried that the arrows are poisonous. Leaning back slightly, the arrow flashed. Grabbing the bow and arrows from the saddle, he opened his bow and shot them at the man on the roof.

The people on the roof saw that the first arrow did not work, and did not hesitate, grabbed the other arrow and shot at Chao Yong.

As soon as he fired the second arrow, he screamed, was shot in the throat by Chao Yong's arrow, and fell to the roof.

The two fighting fans also suddenly let go of each other, shrank back, rolled from under the belly of the soldiers on the side of the road to Chao Yong's horse, and then pulled out a short knife from his clothes and pounced on Chao Yong.

The crowd saw that the prince suddenly picked up his bow and arrows, and focused his attention on the left side, and no one paid attention to the two people who were fighting.

It was the soldiers who were guarding the right side of the prince who heard the screams on the left side, and they all subconsciously looked to the left.

It wasn't until Yu Guang saw someone rolling under the horse's belly that he hurriedly reminded: "Little ......"

As soon as Chao Yong was about to dodge the second arrow, he heard that someone on the right was bullying him, and he did not dare to be careless, so he flipped from the horse's back to the left side, and at the same time smashed his fist on the saddle.

The war horse neighed sadly, and then flew up and smashed on the two people who pounced.

"Poof"

As if they had been hit by a galloping horse, the two people immediately vomited blood and fell backwards.

The soldiers next to him saw the prince's war horse coming, and hurriedly jumped off their horses and hid to the side.

Chao Yong's war horse flew straight out more than a zhang away, knocking down the pro-soldier war horse next to him, before smashing to the ground.

"Don't move"

The two people fell to the ground, and just as they were about to struggle, they were rushed up by their own soldiers, and the cold steel knife was on their necks.

The people on the street saw the power of Prince Liang's punch, as if they saw the gods, and knelt on the ground one after another.

Generations of stories have told that the bravest man can throw down a bull, but he has never heard of someone who can smash a horse a foot away with a single punch. This punch knocked down all the brave heroes in the legend of the party people, and in the eyes of the party people, the prince of Daliang is the god of heaven.

This punch also dispelled all the courage of the party members to resist, and also shocked many grassland tribes.

In the distance, Xiang Chong was leading people to patrol the street, and when he saw that the prince was attacked, he hurried over.

When he arrived, seeing that the prince's personal soldiers had controlled the crowd on both sides, Xiang Chong knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general was negligent, causing the prince to be attacked, please punish the prince." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "Get up, I didn't let you block this street, so I let the people take advantage of the loophole, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

This street is the same as the Tokyo Imperial Street, and it is very wide from the main gate of the palace to the south gate, but it is not like the Tokyo Imperial Street only for the emperor to travel, and the people in the city can pass through. In order to facilitate the lives of the people in the city, Chao Yong did not block the streets of the city, including the streets in front of the palace.

"Prince Xie."

Chao Yong said to the soldiers on the side: "Give the assassin to Xiang Chong." ”

Sun Li said: "These two people on one side attract our attention, and the other person stabs on the opposite side, and then these two people make another move." The plan is not unscrupulous, and I am afraid that there are people behind the scenes. ”

When Xiang Chong heard this, he hurriedly said: "The last general must find out the people behind the scenes." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "There is another person on the roof over there who was shot by me, you can let people identify it." The entire family of the assassins was beheaded, and the corpses were violently put on the streets. ”

"Yes"

Chao Yong didn't stay long, turned over and jumped on the war horse led by Shi Yong and came to the south gate.

Xiang Chong asked people to search the nearby people, and after confirming that they did not have weapons in their possession, they were allowed to disperse, and at the same time, Chao Yong's punch was dispersed. (To be continued)
