In the north of December, snowflakes are floating all over the sky, and the momentum is very rapid, and the wind sweeps the snow, and the sky is flying, and the fine snow particles hit people's faces, like pins and needles.

However, despite this, Li Mu and other soldiers of the Sixth Division were not afraid of the bad weather at all, and still strictly followed the order, crawling in the messy grass.

This is the foot of a low hill, with the help of weeds and the cover of the hill, as long as you don't look closely, ordinary people can't find that there are thousands of ambushes hidden here.

In winter, the grasslands are bare and sandy, and the winds are raging. The herdsmen have already laid grass for their cattle and sheep to spend the winter, and transferred the cattle and sheep to the winter pasture for grazing. Winters in the steppes are very cold, reaching minus tens of degrees Celsius at the coldest point.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Li Mu rubbed his hands, let out a breath of heat, trying not to freeze his body in such a cold weather, he looked at the soldiers around him, and saw that although everyone was nervous, they would not panic, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.

These members of the Sixth Division were all recruited recently, so even if they were only facing a brigade now, Li Mu did not dare to be careless, but gathered thousands of people in the entire division to surround this area.

At this time, Xu Jia had already led a thousand people to the rear of this brigade, due to the bad weather, and this group of left troops was used to running rampant in Handan City, so they immediately did not pay attention to the surrounding situation, but did not find Li Mu and others.

"Everyone, prepare." Through the gap in the grass, Li Mu could already faintly see the horse's legs that appeared dozens of feet away, and immediately whispered coldly to the soldiers beside him.

Hearing this, everyone also clenched the weapons in their hands and took a deep breath to ease the tension in their hearts.

"Stomp!" The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and when there were still about thirty zhang away from the ambush place of Li Mu and the others, only a rapid bang sound was heard, and thousands of bows and arrows were suddenly shot out of the grass on the left and right.

The arrows were like flying locusts, all of them were shot at the war horses under the crotches of the soldiers of the left army, only to hear the sound of "Xi Yu ......" horses, hundreds of war horses were panicked, launched madness, some soldiers were thrown off by the war horses, and then trampled to death by the raging and abnormal horse hooves.

The soldiers of the entire brigade were panicked, and the person at the head, apparently the brigade commander, raised his long sword and said loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone run." ”

With so many arrows fired, these soldiers estimated that the enemy numbered at least a thousand, and they didn't have time to think about who would suddenly attack them, but they knew that they were no opponents, so they quickly turned their horses around and fled in panic.

"Catch up, don't let one go." Li Mu jumped out of the grass, snatched a war horse, and took the lead in holding a spear and killing it.

These soldiers of the left army were killed by surprise, and lost dozens of companions in a blink of an eye, where did they dare to resist at the moment, they just ran towards Handan, but they ran not long ago, only to see that in front of them, thousands of people appeared.

Thousands of people, unconsciously, had already surrounded them, and they could not escape at all.

"Dismount and surrender immediately!" Li Mu had already led his troops to catch up at this moment, he glanced at the hundreds of soldiers of the Left Army lightly, and said in a cold tone.

……

At the same time, in the palace of King Zhao, Zhao Fan and King Huiwen were arranging heavy troops in various palaces and corridors of the palace, and there were more than 2,000 people in the Hudao knights and martial arts apprentices, and Zhao Fan placed them in various main roads.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, Zhao Fan also ordered the guards to go to the Xiangguo Mansion in the evening, and pretended to invite Li Dui to come to discuss the matter.

"Lord Xiangguo, the king has prepared a banquet in the Myoren Palace, and ordered me to invite you to the banquet, you see?" In the hall of Xiangguo's mansion, Miao Xian was dressed in a brocade robe, smiling and facing Li Dui, who was sitting on the top and did not squint.

Miao Xian has always been a confidant of King Huiwen, and Li Dui has never had a good impression of him, so he immediately looked indifferent and ignored his words.

In Li Dui's arms, he was holding two beautiful women in exotic costumes, who were snorting loudly, speaking Chinese that was not fluent, and were drinking and having fun with Li Dui.

At this time, the dignitaries and nobles were tired of playing with Han women, so they also paid attention to exotic customs, and often got some charming but unique women such as Hu Nu or Chu Nu and Wu Nu to do some things that were deserted.

Especially Li Dui, in the upper class of Zhao State, is a well-known womanizer, although he is in his fifties, but for this kind of thing, he is not tired of it, and he is not afraid of dying on a woman's belly.

Looking at Li Dui in front of him, still ignoring it, playing with the Hu girl in his arms, Miao Xian also had a touch of anger in his heart, but he would not attack at such a critical moment.

"Lord Xiangguo, the king invites you to the banquet, you see?" Miao Xian is neither humble nor arrogant, and reiterates it again.

At this time, the corners of Li Dui's eyes twitched slightly, his old face was wrinkled, and he said a little impatiently: "Don't you see that the old man is having something?" Well, the king will have a banquet for the old man, and the old man will go from now on. ”

King Huiwen rarely held banquets to entertain ministers, let alone himself, so Li Dui also had a trace of doubt in his heart, but out of the deep-rooted cowardice of King Huiwen's original surname, he didn't think much about it.

On the contrary, it was Wei Biao on the side, he pondered for a moment, looked at Li Dui, who was sorting out his clothes and preparing to leave, and suddenly leaned into the ear of the former, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xiangguo, we are going to make plans tomorrow, and if we go to the banquet at this time, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

Wei Biao was worried in his heart, at this critical moment, why did King Huiwen set up a banquet to invite Li Dui, in order not to cause trouble, so he also persuaded Li Dui not to go.

Unexpectedly, Li Dui laughed and said: "Huangkou Xiao'er, why should General Wei worry, in this way, I will bring a hundred Iron Bear Guards to go, and General Wei, you and Xiao'er will stay in the mansion and discuss the relevant matters of Ming." ”

The Iron Bear Guards were excellent soldiers specially trained by Li Dui to fight against the bearded sword knights, they wore three sets of armor, a bow that could draw twelve stones, carried equipment that could hold fifty arrows, carried Ge on their shoulders, wore a helmet on their heads, hung a sharp sword on their waists, and carried three days of dry food to travel a hundred miles in half a day.

This is the Iron Bear Guard, in fact, it is a group of ace troops created by the heavy infantry, according to the selection and training method of the Wei warriors created by Wu Qi.

Li Dui didn't have the slightest worry about King Huiwen's banquet this time, in his opinion, the palace was full of his own people, and he was going with a hundred Iron Bear Guards, what would happen?

After all, he has the soldiers of the two armies in his hands, and King Huiwen doesn't say whether he has the courage to deal with him, but he really has, the soldiers of the two armies outside are not vegetarians, they don't recognize King Zhao, they only recognize the tiger talisman.

Hearing this, Wei Biao was helpless and nodded.

It turned out that Li Dui had already decided, it was useless for him to say it, not to mention, the person who set up the banquet was King Zhao after all, although he was nominally unreal, but he was also the nominal King of Zhao, as a courtier, it was extremely disrespectful to refuse the king's banquet.

Miao Xian was outside the hall, looking at them indifferently, although he didn't hear the conversation between Li Dui and Wei Biao clearly, but he could also expect what they would say, seeing that Li Dui transferred away from the hundred Iron Bear Guards, tidied up his clothes and walked out, his heart was also very happy.

Not to mention a hundred Iron Bear Guards, even if Li Dui's 1,000 Iron Bear Guards are all dispatched, when they arrive at the palace, there is only one way to die.

The group marched towards the palace, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, Li Dui suddenly ordered the coachman to stop, because when he was in the carriage, he always felt his heart beating suddenly, and he seemed to have a bad premonition.

This feeling, the closer you get to the palace, the more profound it becomes.

"What's the matter, Sangkoku-sama." Miao Xianzheng was happy that Li Dui was about to go to the palace, but he didn't expect that the carriage suddenly stopped, and he was immediately surprised, but he still reacted quickly and said calmly.

Li Dui was silent, this feeling, he couldn't say it, after all, it felt like this thing, it was also an ethereal thing, and it would arouse suspicion when he said it.

"Could it be that King Zhao asked me to come to the palace this time, is there something bad?" Li Dui thought to himself, but he quickly dispelled this idea, after all, he knew King Huiwen's weakness, and the palace had already been firmly controlled by him, what could happen.

He forced himself to compose himself, and it was almost evening, and as night fell, he saw that outside the palace, the lights were flickering, and the guards were patrolling back and forth, and everything was as usual, no different than usual.

Seeing this scene, Li Dui also reluctantly calmed down.

He shook his head and said in a somewhat low tone: "It's nothing, we actually arrived at the palace, let's get out of the car." ”

After speaking, he took the lead in getting off the carriage, Miao Xian followed closely from behind, and came to the gate of the palace, Li Dui casually glanced at these guards, and saw that their expressions were normal, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.

There are so many guards in the palace, Li Dui may know all of them, he only observed the demeanor of these guards, and saw that there was nothing strange, so he was relieved.

"By the way, Master Miao knows that the king has asked me to eat, but what's the matter?" Li Dui walked as he walked, as if he had no intention of saying.

Immediately, Miao Xian also smiled, he naturally knew that Li Dui was already a little suspicious in his heart, so he tried to relax his demeanor as much as possible, and said: "Hehe, I heard that it is because after the king's internal history was disposed of by you, the post of internal history was vacant, and the king should discuss with you who should hold the position of internal history." ”

At the beginning, Zhao Fan decided to let Miao Xian invite Li Dui, because Miao Xian has always been King Zhao's confidant eunuch, and he is sleek, although he is in a different camp from Li Dui, he has never torn his face on the surface, so it is easier to speak.

Now, when Li Dui heard him say this, he also believed it a little, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "I only know now that I can ask the old man's opinion, but unfortunately it's too late. ”

In his heart, he still thought that King Huiwen was compromising with him, but how could he change the things he had already decided in his heart, not to mention, how could it be wonderful to be a king.

Li Dui made up his mind in his heart that no matter what, Ming's action must be carried out.

While talking, the two had already entered the palace, although Li Dui was already a little vigilant in his heart, but he didn't notice that after he entered the palace, several teams suddenly poured into the palace gate after they left, and looked at the gate of the palace extremely tightly, and no one was allowed to enter again.

On top of a tall building, Zhao Fan, with his extraordinary eyesight, had already seen Miao Xian and Li Dui and others who had just entered the palace, and when he saw the iron bear guard behind him, who was like an iron giant, the corners of his mouth also moved slightly, but he quickly regained his calm.

The Iron Bear Guards, each of them was tall and physically strong, but after all, there were only a hundred people, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, and immediately he smiled coldly, and quickly descended from the pavilion like a shadow and came to the Miaoren Palace.

"Brother Wang, they are here, and there are a hundred very powerful guards wearing iron armor." Zhao Fan didn't know that these guards were called Iron Bear Guards, and he could see that these people were quite powerful.

However, King Huiwen knew these people, and after hearing it, he was also slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal, only a hundred people, and there was not much trouble.

Immediately, Zhao Fan and the others also arranged hundreds of people to lurk around the main hall, everyone was dressed in black and holding weapons.

"You have hidden it, you must not be discovered by Li Dui and others, when the time comes, I will take my wine bottle to the ground as an order, and when the time comes, you will kill it together, and those of his guards will be captured if they can, and they will be killed if they can't be captured, as for Li Dui, it is best to stay alive." Zhao Fan instructed the Bearded Knife Knight and those apprentices.

Hearing this, everyone also loudly agreed.

After everything was dealt with, everyone also retreated, and only King Huiwen, Zhao Fan and Zhao Sheng were left in the entire Miaoren Palace, and even Xu Ying and Xu Xiong were hidden.

"The old minister participates in the king!" put a hundred iron bear guards outside the hall to wait, and Li Dui also walked into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Dui felt an unusual smell, because the entire hall was empty, only King Huiwen, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Fan, and there was not a single guard, and Zhao Fan was a mere commander, and he was also seated in the seat.

If Li Dui a few years ago, in the face of such a strange thing, he would definitely turn around and leave, he would never come to the banquet that he couldn't see through, but I don't know if it was because he was old and made him a little indecisive, or because he was used to being comfortable, and he didn't have that sense of urgency, so he just hesitated slightly for a while, and then stepped in.

"Lee Sang-kook is here, please take a seat." King Huiwen looked very calm, he waved his hand, and said without emotion.

Li Dui's face became more and more ugly, and it didn't matter if Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng sat on the seat, but how could a small division commander Zhao Fan be qualified to share a seat with him, so he didn't leave immediately.

Moreover, today's King Huiwen made him a little incomprehensible, as if it was completely different from usual, and now he seemed indifferent and indifferent, you know, he was usually frightened of himself, and today's performance is really weird.

At this time, Zhao Fan broke the silence and smiled slightly: "What? Does Lord Xiangguo think that the king has insulted your identity by letting you sit with me as a little commander? ”

His words were a little abrupt, and Li Dui's face also became ugly, he sneered in his heart, thinking that King Huiwen was deliberately finding fault, and immediately did not shy away from it: "That's right, you Zhao Fan is just a mere commander, but the old man is a dignified country." ”

Li Dui's tone was extremely strong, and he didn't even pay attention to King Zhao, in fact, how could he have taken King Zhao seriously in his heart, and this time he came to the banquet just to see what tricks King Huiwen wanted to play.

Li Dui looked at the three people in the hall coldly, as if he was the master here, looking at King Huiwen's eyes, they were all extremely presumptuous and arrogant, Zhao Fan's words just now had completely angered him, and immediately, Li Dui even wanted to immediately order the palace to be forced.

However, he still forcibly endured it, only with a sneer on his face.

At this time, King Huiwen, who had been silent, suddenly had a smile on his face, and his face, which had always been weak, had an expression completely different from usual, which looked a little hideous.

"Li Xiangguo, maybe you don't know it, Zhao Fan Zhao Shishuai, is the son of the former king and Zhongshan who fought and lost after the defeat, Brother Fan was in Bairen City, and was adopted by a couple of Orion, until some time ago, he was recognized by me and Brother Sheng, he is the son of the first king, the brother of the widow, and you share a seat, what do you think is wrong?"

King Huiwen's words were undoubtedly earth-shattering for Li Dui, he was stunned in place, and suddenly laughed out loud, "King, Zhao Fan is a thief with many tricks, you must not be deceived by him, when Gongzi Fan was lost, he was only five or six years old, after so long, how could the king still recognize him." ”

Although Li Dui said this, he was extremely shocked in his heart, and when he mentioned the Martial Spirit King, his face obviously became a little ugly, although he said so, but in his heart he already believed what King Huiwen said.

Because, when he saw Zhao Fan, he also had a familiar feeling in his heart, at first he couldn't think of what was going on, until King Huiwen said it just now, he came back to his senses, Zhao Fan and the deceased Martial Spirit King, very similar.

What is not talking about appearance here, but that kind of temperament and surname, calm, courageous, and heroic, these are the similarities between the two.

"The brother of the widow, how can the widow not recognize it, this matter does not need to be worried about the lord of the country, the widow just wants to know, Brother Fan is a son, and he shares a seat with you, do you think it is not good?" King Huiwen stared at Li Dui and said.

Li Dui's face flickered uncertainly, King Huiwen's performance today was extremely abnormal, he had never seen King Huiwen have such a strong and tough side, and most importantly, how could King Huiwen leak this matter to him.

He didn't expect that the King of Martial Spirits would find Yong, and he would still have a seed, especially such an excellent person like Zhao Fan, and immediately, a killing machine also surged up in his heart. (To be continued.) )
