Chapter 297: Zongzan's Humiliation

After a night of adequate rest, Zhao Xiaoxi and his party woke up and felt that the physical strength consumed by yesterday's battle. With a good night's sleep, it finally made up for it. This energetic situation made everyone gradually forget yesterday's war.

Zhao Hyo-seok, who also meditated and practiced all night, woke up to find that his internal strength had not yet recovered. The internal force that can be re-cultivated is more refined than before the Great War. It seems that fighting makes people progress, and it's really not a casual nonsense.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who has recovered seventy percent of his internal strength, also has a little more confidence in the next Xingqing Mansion and his party. When I woke up in the morning, my expression was much happier than yesterday. Seeing this scene, Mu Wanqing finally let go of the worries in her heart.

Just when Zhao Xiaoxi and the others instructed the back kitchen of the inn to start making breakfast. The caravan that likes to break through the customs early in the morning also forms a group to enter the second ditch as before. But halfway through, the caravan's guards and merchants were stunned.

Looking at the wolf flag that made them fearful, it was tied to the mountain beam and fluttered in the wind. The pioneer guards who took the lead were not shocked. After all, what the appearance of this wolf flag means, the caravan dart master who took this path knew it.

Look at the corpses piled up in those ditches under the wolf flag. The guards and dart masters of each caravan looked a little weak in their legs. Several bold dart masters stepped forward to check, but found that on the other side of the mountain beam, the scene was even more bloody.

By examining the corpses, several old dart masters led by them also said with a look of disbelief: "Oh my God, these corpses are all people from the Iron Wolf Team and a gust of wind." Judging by the number of corpses, they were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out here! ”

Hearing this conclusion made by the old dart master, several startled caravan shopkeepers suddenly said happily: "Big darthead, what you said is true?" These corpses are all horse bandits from the Iron Wolf Team and a gust of wind, right? ”

The big dart head said with certainty: "You can't be mistaken." Eight out of ten of these people have wolf heads tattooed on their hands. The corpse in the ditch over there, dead and still wearing a cloak, is exactly what the wind horse bandit is wearing, and it is absolutely not wrong.

However, who has such a great ability? How about annihilating these two horse bandits here? Looking at this mountain beam, there are still many traces of battle, and I think there was a big battle here yesterday. ”

They are all old dart masters who eat at the tip of the knife all the year round, and they can check the ability of the scene, and they are afraid that ordinary catching speed cannot be compared. Even if the secret camp guards picked up all the iron things on the battlefield, they still left a little clue.

When the dart masters examined the wounds of the wounded again, they looked at the corpse of the horse bandit in a gust of wind. Many wounds are almost the same size, but each wound is fatal.

Roughly counted. At least hundreds of people died under the same weapon. This kind of conclusion makes these self-questioning dart masters with good martial arts also sigh that this master of making guns is afraid that he has reached the realm of unity of man and gun.

Knowing that this kind of place was not a place to stay, and no one touched the wolf flag, the dart master immediately ordered the caravan to pass quickly. Wait until you reach the nearby border city, and then announce this news that is enough to cause a sensation in Western Xia.

Over the years, the Iron Wolves have followed a gust of wind. For the trouble of Xiping Mansion is not once or twice. There are countless people who want to eat their flesh alive. For perennial traders. I hate it even more.

Many times, when a merchant was organized, it was robbed by two bandits, and not only were all the goods robbed. Most of the caravan's own guards, as well as the hired dart masters, were dead or alive. It can be said that the tragedy they created single-handedly is difficult to write!

Wait until Zhao Xiaoxi and his entourage have breakfast. All the staff got on their horses again and prepared to go to Xingqing Mansion. Not long after leaving the border city, this caravan that came to Western Xia to conduct merchants spread the news. For a time, the whole city was shaken.

Although the border city has always been under the jurisdiction of Xingqing Prefecture, the border city people who have died in the hands of two horse bandits have died over the years. The same is not a few. Many people don't believe this news, but they can't resist the expectations and desires in their hearts.

Following the cavalry of the border city, many people rode in the direction of Erdaogou. When they reached the ridge in the second ditch, they saw the corpses on both sides. The men immediately understood that the caravan that had entered the border city was not lying.

Knowing that the situation was serious, the Western Xia cavalry immediately sent troops to block both sides of Erdaogou and sent people to inform Xining Mansion of the news. At the same time, he also sent people to deliver the news to the border city and even Xingqing Mansion.

The Ministry of Rites officials, who were also informed of the news, received some covert messages. can see that Duan Yu and the others are not injured, and they also feel that the rumor may be false. But now that the exact news is available, the official was frightened into a cold sweat.

Others don't know the details of the two horse bandits, but this official of the Ministry of Rites knows more or less about the existence behind the two horse bandits. At this moment, they were all wiped out in Erdaogou, but the murderer became a mystery. It's scary!

Waiting until Zhao Xiaoxi, who was marching on the official road, saw the post guards of Western Xia from their side, he quickly rode to the royal city of Western Xia. The anxious appearance of the fire looks like a big war on the border.

This strange phenomenon made Zhao Xiaoxi realize that the matter of Erdaogou seemed to be exposed. It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi knew very well that before fighting with the Iron Wolf Team, the spies near Erdaogou were all killed by the secret camp guards.

As long as they don't admit it, no one will believe it, just with their team of less than a hundred people. can kill two extremely vicious horse bandits who have plagued Xiping for many years. Of course, even if you know that?

Zhao Xiaoxi, who grasped the opportunity, was not afraid that Xixia would embarrass himself with this matter. If you really want to talk about it, Xixia also has to thank Zhao Xiaoxi for removing the two evils for them, so that Xiping's business can be unimpeded.

Pretending not to know anything, Zhao Xiaoxi and his party still moved calmly and impermanently in the direction of Xingqing Mansion. And the post guard who was responsible for transmitting the information, when he passed the news to the Western Xia court, he was also shocked.

As the reserve army of the Iron Harrier Cavalry, the Iron Wolf Team can play a key role in turning the tide of the battle under some special circumstances. But now, these two elite cavalry have been completely annihilated.

However, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom and those noble ministers looked at the excited people in the city, and they couldn't show angry expressions. If people knew that these two horse bandits had the support of the Western Xia court behind them, the people who died under their hands would not hate the court to death.

The lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, who had knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, could only send more people to investigate who had done this feat. After all, in their opinion, if they want to completely annihilate these two cavalry, unless they are prepared in advance, or use a large army to encircle and annihilate them.

At this moment, he had arrived at Xingqing Mansion, and Zong Zan, who was staying in the state guesthouse, also seemed a little angry when he received the news. You know, in order to invite these two powerful horse bandits, he has paid a lot of benefits.

asked people to invite Gu Mozhi and Murong Fu, and as soon as they met, Zong Zan threw the secret report he received on Murong Fu's face and said angrily: "Look at what is written on this?" Didn't you say foolproof? So why is this happening? ”

Murong Fu, who had not yet received the news, was so humiliated by Zong Zan that he could imagine the anger in his heart. It's just that he is currently living under his roof, and Murong Fu has to endure the rude behavior of this Tubo prince.

When Murong Fu picked up the secret report and saw the information written on it, he immediately said, "How is this possible?" ”

Facing Murong Fu's equally stunned expression, Zong Zan couldn't help but scold anymore: "What's impossible? This is the latest information sent by my Tibetan secret agent. Keep saying that you are a hero of the Central Plains, and I think you are a lost dog.

In order to implement your plan, I gave Zuo Xiangsan five hundred taels of gold before asking him to help. Now that the two horse bandits have been wiped out, how do you ask me to explain to Lord Zuo Xiang. It's really a guy who doesn't have enough success and more than he loses.

If it weren't for the fact that you are a friend of the national teacher, this king really wants to kill you on the spot. Come on, get these guys out of the station. Next time you dare to appear next to this king, you will be killed! ”

Looking at the furious Zong Zan and scolding, Murong Fu really had the urge to draw his sword and kill him. can see the guards beside Zong Zan, looking at each other, Murong Fu can only 'hum' and leave in the end.

Even Harumachi, who wants to act as a peacemaker, can't speak when he sees this situation. Along the way, Zongzan has already given him a lot of face. Being able to resurrect Murong and leave this time really gives him face to a certain extent!

Although Gu Mozhi rarely paid attention to the affairs of Western Xia, he knew that the Iron Wolf Team and the horse bandits with a gust of wind were actually the secret troops that cultivated the Iron Harriers. Such two elite cavalry, the whole army was wiped out in Erdaogou, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Thinking of this, Gu Mozhi finally spoke: "Your Royal Highness, do you know that Dali and his party are where they are now?" ”

Regarding this question, Zong Zan gritted his teeth and said: "Already on the way to Xingqing Mansion, their men and horses seem to be unharmed. It seems that if you want to solve the surname Duan, you have to think of a way in Wangcheng.

Come, prepare another five hundred taels of gold, and this king will go to visit Lord Zuo. Anyway, this time the king of Western Xia has made a decision. Whoever dares to do evil to the great things of this king, this king will put him to death. ”

With such cruel words, Zong Zan quickly left the post official and went to visit the mansion of Aksu, a powerful minister of Western Xia. This important minister of Western Xia, who had a good relationship with the lord of Tubo, was also the only person that Zongzan could rely on for this selection of horses.

From what he learned, the current candidates for the horses that Western Xia valued were more from the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. And this time, the Great Song Dynasty does not seem to have sent anyone to apply, which means that the prince of Liao has the greatest chance of winning.

It's just that those courtiers who supported the Great Song Dynasty didn't want to see the Western Xia form an alliance with the Great Courtyard. Now there are even rumors that they want to support Duan Yu, the son of Dali. What made Zong Zan angry was that there were still few people who supported him as a colt.

Now that this kind of thing has happened, presumably Aksu, who contributed to this matter, will also be reprimanded by the lord of Western Xia. If he doesn't break some money to ease the other party's anger, then his plan to participate in the Western Xia to recruit and select horses will be completely abandoned! (To be continued......)
