The distance from Xiongzhan Pass to Xingqing City is only two states, and if you are in a hurry, you can reach it within ten days, and Wang Yan and his party took 27 days to come to Xingqing City.

In 27 days, the mission suffered a total of 16 attacks, 3 ambushes during the day, 13 assassinations at night, and the 136 Tiance guards who accompanied them into Western Xia were killed in battle, seriously wounded one, and slightly wounded 54.

What was the reason for this envoy to Western Xia, the soldiers accompanying him knew that it was precisely because Wang Yan was willing to enter the Longtan Tiger's Den of Western Xia for the sake of 30,000 Liang women and children that he was able to persuade everyone before.

The Tiance guards who sent to the Western Xia were all carefully selected dead soldiers, and they knew that this mission to the Western Xia was different from the normal mission, and this mission to the Western Xia was to use the Western Xia people as a target, and their task was to protect Wang Yan at all costs before he died in battle.

After Qingping Pass, the field of vision instantly widened a lot, looking into the distance, you can vaguely see the shadow of Xingqing City.

Along the way, Tian Cewei was already exhausted, and Wang Yan's mental state was better in the entire team, but compared with the heyday, it was still much worse, after all, almost all the big and small battles along the way were settled by Wang Yan.

Xixia acquiesced to the intervention of the White Lotus Sect, but did not allow them to transfer a large group of men and horses into the territory of Western Xia, and only allowed a small number of masters to enter, so the attackers were all small teams, although the number was small, but the martial arts were not weak, fighting alone, Tiance Wei was not its opponent, and the leader, even the major general of Tiance could not win steadily.

But those people are very fragile in Wang Yan's hands, the eight masters of the Thunder Gate joined forces to fight Wang Yan, Wang Yan fought against eight with one enemy, and finally killed six, seriously injured one, lightly injured one, the seriously injured one must not live long, as for the lightly injured, only because she was a woman, Wang Yan kept his hand.

The people of the White Lotus Sect are easy to recognize, their clothes are embroidered with imprints, in addition to the White Lotus Sect, there is also a party that is looking for trouble for themselves, and their strength is much stronger than that of the White Lotus Sect, and the Tiance Guards who died in battle are basically killed at the hands of this party, thirteen night assassinations, eight of which were led by this mysterious organization, and they did not capture the living mouth, nor did they find any clues from their corpses.

After entering Qingping Pass, the atmosphere of the team relaxed a lot, Wang Yan discussed with Wei Hui, after entering the pass, the attack can be reduced by more than half or even suspended, the reason is very simple, the Xixia people will not put those idle forces into the pass, besides, looking at the Xixia can there be a more suitable place than Xingqing City?

The next crisis that Wang Yan will face comes from the Western Xia court.

..

In the Xixia Palace, Li Yuanchang sat on the dragon chair, and there was a man kneeling under the main hall, the man was white-faced, beardless, without Adam's apple, and was a eunuch, reporting to Li Yuanchang with a sharp voice.

"Your Majesty, the Liang State Mission has entered Qingping Pass and is on its way to Xingqing City, and it will be possible to reach the city in half a day."

"Isn't that man dead?" Li Yuanchang sat on the dragon chair, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a playful expression.

"Back to Your Majesty, his subordinates are incompetent, he is not dead yet, Jiuyou failed to assassinate last night, and he lost three masters."

"Haha, Zhao Zhong, your Jiuyou even has a time when things are unfavorable, it seems that the kid named Wang Yan is really good at martial arts, I don't know which one is stronger and which is weaker than me?"

"Where will he be Your Majesty's opponent, Your Majesty can crush him with just a little finger." Zhao Zhong flattered and greeted.

Li Yuanchang listened comfortably and waved his hand.

"Stop acting for the time being, since he has survived to Xingqing, I want to see him."

"Whoa." Zhao Zhong received the order, and he didn't say a word about the extra words.

"Send someone to send a message to the Great Commander, his killer and enemy have come to celebrate, and when he finishes meeting me, he can do it, I don't want to hear the big movement."

"Well, the minion will do it." After Zhao Zhong finished speaking, he fell to the ground, bowed to Li Yuanchang, and left the main hall.

When Zhao Zhong came, Li Yuanchang withdrew his attendants, and after Zhao Zhong left, the hall was empty, and he was silent for a long time, and Li Yuanchang slowly spoke.

"How's your investigation going? Is he really rebellious? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the return of the old slave's eyeliner, it is not the Great Commander who has the intention of rebellion, but his second son Tuoba Yanbin, Tuoba Yanbin secretly colluded with the four wolf ambitions of the minions, and intends to be unfavorable to Your Majesty at Your Majesty's birthday banquet this year." A rickety figure walked out of the curtain on the right side of the main hall, walked to a place a foot away from Li Yuanchang and stopped, and his already rickety waist bent even lower.

"I didn't expect that the charm of my wife and daughter is so great that some people will not hesitate to use butcher knives against me for them, haha, interesting! Find a chance to get rid of it, and don't let the Grand Commander find out that it was you. ”

"The old slave understands that the old slave has already sent people to the family of the four slaves, and I believe that it will not be long before the heads of the four slaves can be placed in front of His Majesty's case."

"Stand down." Li Yuanchang replied lightly, and the rickety old man disappeared in the curtain on the right.

The main hall became empty again, and after a while, the door of the hall slowly opened, and the palace people and guards poured in one after another, and the main hall regained its popularity.

Li Yuanchang did not continue to stay in the hall, got up and left the main hall, and went straight to the harem.

The scale of the Xixia Imperial City is only two-thirds of the size of the Daliang Imperial Palace, but the scale of the harem is larger than that of the Daliang Imperial Palace, accounting for almost half of the area of the Xixia Imperial City, Li Yuanchang is lustful, this is a well-known thing, Li Yuanchang was young when the whole country converged on the beauties, filled the harem, and for a time there was a lot of uproar, complaints, and the uprising was unknown, but in the end it was forcibly suppressed by Li Yuanchang by force.

Li Yuanchang only spends one-third of his time dealing with government affairs every day, and the rest of the time is soaked in the harem to indulge in sensuality, in order to prevent his subordinates from rebelling, Li Yuanchang also set up two institutions, the former is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, the latter is responsible for framing and assassinating, up to the commander, down to the poor people are within the scope of supervision, established for ten years, the dead and the people who died in vain add up to tens of thousands.

Li Yuanchang has always been thinking about how to stabilize his throne, and as for the dead, he has never cared.

The harem and the front palace are separated by a three-zhang high palace wall, and there are eunuchs patrolling the palace wall.

Li Yuanchang's harem building is concise, clear at a glance, there are no complex pavilions, palaces and courtyards, it is a two-story small building, a lot of quantity, and exquisite decoration, there is a palace in the center of the small building, the pattern is like the stars holding the moon, that is Li Yuanchang's bedroom, every night, Li Yuanchang will summon several female waiters to wait for him to sleep, among the summoned maids, only one has not changed, she is the Xixia Guifei, Jing Yueyao, the seventh beauty on the Daliang flower list, similarly, she is also the biological mother of the second beauty on the flower list..
