"What does Commander Xie mean by beheading the four princes inside?" Zhang Rubing involuntarily lowered his voice and asked.

Xie Dong nodded, and the fierceness in his eyes became more and more intense, "You only said that when you went to attack the mountain bandit village, you found out that he colluded with the traitors, and was discussing with him how to unite against the imperial court." He refuses to surrender and kills him like a hemp, and you have to order him to be slain by the sword. ”

He paused, and then looked at Xie Dong with gloomy eyes, "Can you do it?" ”

There was a threat in his inky eyes that could not be refused, and Zhang Rubing suddenly shrank for a moment, knowing that he had to take on this tricky task.

"But the Bull Demon King Shen Xun's reputation has gradually improved in the past six months, and he is dedicated to the people's livelihood, and he has less opposition to the government, where can they implement the crime of conspiracy against them?" Zhang Rubing said hesitantly.

"You don't have to worry about that." Xie Dong was categorical and meaningful, "Do you think the emperor will punish you and me for killing someone by mistake, or will he reward us for helping him eradicate the great trouble in his heart?" You weigh it yourself. ”

Zhang Rubing suddenly understood something, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "I understand!" Commander Xie is very clever in this plan, very wonderful! ”

Immediately afterwards, he sneered again, and said with the enemy: "He deliberately picked on my thorn before, trying to pull me off the horse, I haven't settled this account with him yet, this time I have to settle it well!" ”

The determination that prompted Zhang Rubing to be so resolute was exactly the result that Xie Dong wanted.

The two reached an agreement, and then they couldn't wait to discuss the specific details of the attack.

Zhang Rubing mentioned Shen Xun, and couldn't help but be full of sorrow, frowned and said: "This Bull Demon King is not easy to mess with, he has been stationed in the local area for seven or eight years, and he has also sent troops to kill him, but he has been repelled by him again and again, he is very cunning and deceitful." There are not many officers and soldiers stationed in my county, so I can only watch him recruit troops and develop step by step. ”

Xie Dong didn't think so, and snorted coldly: "It's just a bandit guarding a mountain, how can you defeat him?" You just have to ask for some officers and soldiers from above, and just say that this is a great time to completely exterminate these bandits, and if you miss it, you will never have this opportunity again. Take my token and go over again, not afraid that they won't send troops to you. ”

Xie Dong handed over his token to Zhang Rubing, and Zhang Rubing was overjoyed, "With this token from Commander Xie, there is no need to say anything, I think that the governor will send troops down to assist you and me in suppressing the bandits." ”

He hurriedly ordered someone to take this token and go to Governor Yan stationed in Peng Chau Mansion to ask for troops.

Sure enough, as Xie Dong expected, it only took an hour for the thousands of garrisons sent by Governor Yan to come like a turbulent wave and stop outside the county seat of Ning County.

The reason why they were not allowed to enter the city was Xie Dong's intention, for fear of alarming the people in the cottage, and they could not take advantage of their unpreparedness to break through the village in one fell swoop.

Xie Dong instructed Zhang Rubing some more details, and then rode back to the original place, in the queue led by Mu Yihan.

He only thought that after all, the most important task of this trip was to help Empress Chen solve her worries, and he couldn't reveal his true form halfway.

Even if he was confident that these people would break through the cottage in one fell swoop, leaving Mu Yihan dead without a place to be buried, he had to be prepared for what happened.

When he came back to the team, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to give Princess Yanxi medicine, and there was no tonic at all, so he simply didn't go to Princess Yanxi's side, not caring if she would blame herself.

And Princess Yanxi learned that Xie Dong was back, but she was empty-handed, and she was embarrassed but helpless to take him.

The mountains are surrounded by patches of verdant onion, and the waves are gently whistling in the wind.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the waterfall in the distance is like the Milky Way, the white clouds come out, the birds are tired and return, but it is also a rare and excellent scenery.

In Ye Yuner's view, this place is no different from Tao Yuanming's paradise.

"Since Brother Shen has changed his evil and followed a good path, how can he not be recruited by the imperial court and become a good citizen?" Ye Yun'er took advantage of the moment when she was slightly drunk, and asked the questions in her heart to Shen Xun face to face.

Shen Xun put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said with some cynicism: "I have never been accustomed to those people in the court who are powerful all day long, and do not think about the people and only care about enriching their own pockets, and I disdain to be with them. I am a person who refuses to live under others, and I only think that I can occupy a mountain as a king in one place and feed a group of brothers for me. There is no need to bow down to anyone here, and you are constrained by others everywhere, isn't it very happy to live a happy life? ”

"I see." Ye Yun'er suddenly realized and gave Shen Xun a thumbs up, "Brother Shen is a true hero who dares to act, so dare to overcome obstacles for himself and decide his own destiny, Yun'er admires it tightly." ”

Shen Xun was praised by Ye Yun'er from the bottom of his heart, he smiled from ear to ear, and the sound shook the eaves, and his arrogant mood also infected the hundreds of brothers who drank and ate meat below.

Mu Yihan, who was sitting at the same level as Shen Xun, had dark eyes and thoughtfulness.

At this time, a little minion hurriedly ran into the hall, rushed to Shen Xun again, almost couldn't stop kneeling on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Big brother is not good, down the mountain, there are a large number of sergeants rushing towards our stockade under the mountain, that formation has never been seen before, it is not trivial!" ”

When Shen Xun heard this, his face was surprised, and he suddenly got up, "Is this really the case?" Take me to see it! ”

"Second brother, you come along." Shen Xun beckoned Mu Yihan together. Mu Yihan and Ye Yun'er's hearts were also tight, and they followed him to the front.

When they came to the front building of the cottage, the group looked down, but where could they see half a person?

Shen Xun was deaf and clear-sighted, pointing to the lush woods and sneering, "Second brother, have you seen the armor shaking between the branches and leaves?" These dog mongrels will do this, thinking that they can approach my cottage step by step by hiding in the forest, but unfortunately their whereabouts have long been exposed to our eyes, and they don't know it yet. ”

Mu Yihan, Ye Yun'er and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, through the flickering light, they saw a large area, like ants swarming the soldiers.

There was a black oppression in all directions, and there was a vast scene like 10,000 people attacking the city.

These soldiers were all dressed in armor and fully armed, and the spears and broadswords in their hands were particularly dazzling in the harsh light of the afternoon, mixed with some aggressive and ruthless bloodthirsty smell, which was terrifying.

For a while, everyone couldn't guess how many troops the other party had contributed this time. Everyone couldn't help but think that they had become a trapped beast in a cage, surrounded by embattlement, which made people tremble and depressing.

"It seems that this time they are ruthless and want to break my stockade in one fell swoop." Shen Xun couldn't help but say with some concern, thought of something again, and looked at Mu Yihan, "It's just that what I don't understand is, how could it be so coincidental, second brother, you came to my village, and they also arrived later?" Second brother, didn't you offend someone, so they couldn't wait to take the opportunity to eradicate you, right? ”

Why didn't Mu Yihan think so?

In his guess, except for Zhang Rubing, there is no second person who wants to kill him so much.
