Volume XII, Chapter XVIII
"yes, let's go back first, or it will be suspicious. Ying Xue also said with a smile.
"What are you suspicious about? As you said, the king of this country is indeed a muddy pool, I have asked him for reinforcements a few times, but I have not seen the troops, this battle does not need to be fought at all, with a small Yingong City, it will not be able to stop you at all, if you were not afraid of me in Yingong City yesterday, you must have forcibly attacked the city, with your current strength, you can directly attack Kyoto, after I go back, I will mobilize the defenders of Yinggong City to surrender, anyway, my purpose is very simple, as long as you do not disturb the people, the rest of the matter, I am too lazy to care. "Jill is a cheerful person and speaks straightforwardly, no wonder he was ostracized back then, with his personality, of course, he will not be tolerated in officialdom.
"Grandpa Ji is old and strong, how can I compare with you, not to mention, one of our military commanders was captured alive by you!"
"What's the matter, you don't want me to put gold on my face, it's ashamed to say, if I hadn't taken Zhou Ming's subordinates, to be honest, I really wasn't his opponent, this Zhou Ming is quite admirable, and he would rather be captured for the sake of his subordinates. Jill still has a little respect for Zhou Minglai when he talks about it.
"Where, we juniors are your old man's opponents. Zeng Zhaoli also lost no time in wearing a high hat on Jill's head, wearing thousands of clothes, not wearing sycophants, Zeng Zhaoli still understands this truth.
"Come on, you two guys don't sell me here, as soon as I leave Yingon City, I guess. The defenders of this Yinggong city will naturally collapse. After I released Zhou Ming, I went back to Lanling Town. Take care of yourselves, I'm leaving. Jill didn't wait for Yingxue to speak, and left quickly.
"Hey, this old man!" Zeng Zhaoli said in surprise.
"Forget it, let's go back!" Yingxue knew that Jill was unwilling to tell the truth, he loved face very much, how could he immediately betray the border country, or go to Lanling Town in the future to invite him and Li Gui, so it would be more appropriate.
As Jill puts it. Things went very smoothly, after Jill released Zhou Ming, he left on his own, and Ying Xue just pressed the army, and the defenders in the city lost their boss, and suddenly had no idea, under the strong pressure of Ying Xue, they had to surrender obediently, anyway, they had heard that Ying Xue's policy was very relaxed. For those who surrendered, it is still reused.
The city of Yinggong was lost, and the two small cities of Yaqiao and Ballast Maple were lost, and the defenders in the city got the news. It had already collapsed on its own, and Ying Xue and the others took over these two small cities without much effort. After taking the castle of Ballast Maple, Eagle Snow stopped its march. Because there is only one pass left in front of the entire border country - Kyoto. As long as this city is captured, all the border countries will be in their hands.
Yingxue is not complacent. But I want to stay here to rectify, after all, I have attacked Kyoto, which is the capital of the border country, unlike other city walls, Kyoto is not only high in the wall, but also has a tight defense, the defensive enchantment is naturally very solid, and the defenders are also very numerous, so Yingxue wants to stop the army and station here first, and think about it in the long run.
Yingxue is steady and steady, however, Kyoto is in a panic, the king of the border country is even more frightened, hurriedly asked the ministers for the enemy's plan, the pity is coming, the ministers have nothing to do, but, although they can't think of a way to resist the enemy, someone gave the king two good ideas, one is to ask Wang Zhuo for peace, first stabilize the matter in order to plan for the future, the other is to bow down to the Tianfeng country, please send reinforcements, use the power of the Tianfeng country to eliminate Wang Zhuo's rebels. Of course, such a proposal was approved, but it was precisely because of this that it caused endless trouble for the border country.
This Tianfeng Country has been staring at the border country for a long time, as for the delay in making a move because of the long-term turmoil in the border country, so the Tianfeng country is sitting and watching, anyway, this side of the country is also barren, and no one will fight its idea, although the Tianfeng country has no intention of subduing it, but because of the eagle snow, half of the magicians of the Tianfeng country were annihilated, how can the Tianfeng country swallow this breath, and moreover, Yingxue and Li Fengtian uprooted the branch altar of the secret demon gate, causing the secret demon gate to suffer heavy losses, and they have a close relationship with Ji Zixian, the first assistant of the Tianfeng country, of course, they have to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, and instigate the Tianfeng country to attack the border country。
Now the shape of shì has been clear, with the growth of Wang Zhuo, the border country is about to restore fù unification, this is not what the country of Tianfeng wants to see, just at this time, the border country sent envoys to the country of Tianfeng for help, the border country is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, this is of course in the arms of the country of Tianfeng, however, the country of the wind did not send a large number of reinforcements, but only sent a hundred senior magicians to the border country to help, the meaning of the country of the wind is clear, the hundred senior magicians they sent are not responsible for the offensive task, but responsible for holding Kyoto, so that the border country and Wang Zhuo both sides fight to the death, exhausting the forces of both sides, and then the country of Tianfeng can take the border country as its own with a little army, and the ambition of the wolf son is obvious, but unfortunately the border country has now been forced to have no way out, and no longer thinks about these, just wants to get through the current death of the country.
However, the border country is a lot more stable because of the support of these hundred magicians, since the Tianfeng country has intervened in this matter, it will definitely not let the border country perish, because of the backing of the Tianfeng country, the residents of Kyoto feel at ease, the public opinion propaganda heard in Kyoto, Wang Zhuo's army is regarded as a flood beast, burning and looting along the way, all kinds of evil, the people of Kyoto do not know the majority, of course believe it is true. What's more, all the wars are like this now, if the city is destroyed, then the people in the city will of course be the most unlucky.
After the renovation, Eagle Snow decided to launch a tentative attack on Kyoto, but fortunately it was only a tentative attack, Eagle Snow found that there were many more high-level magicians in Kyoto, which was much more than Eagle Snow expected, and seeing that the situation was not quite right, Eagle Snow ordered the troops to stop the siege and retreat to the city to make plans again.
After careful analysis by Yingxue, Zheng Ti, Zeng Zhaoli, and Zhou Ming, they believed that these high-level magicians were definitely not from the border country, otherwise. Why has it not appeared until now, among the surrounding countries, only the Tianfeng Kingdom has the heart to return to the border country. These magicians must have been sent by the Celestial Wind Country, but. Although everyone has guessed their origin by now, how to get rid of them is a difficult problem.
"In this case, everyone, I will take the opportunity to infiltrate Kyoto tonight, inquire about the situation, and by the way, also go to the forbidden army to have a look, if we can pull the forbidden army over, we can take Kyoto by the way. As for these high-level magicians, I think I have a way to deal with them, don't forget, we still have the Five Elements Battle Array, isn't it time for us to play a role? Let's put him aside for this matter first, and wait until I come back from Kyoto! Now the top priority is to report the situation to Marshal Wang Zhuo, ask for troops to be sent to help, and we must immediately summon Liu Linfeng, Tang Bin, and Yang Yuhai back urgently. Zeng Zhaoli was in charge of the matter. From now on, we will defend with all our might, and we must not take the initiative to fight, and we will talk about it when I come back. "Yingxue knows that things can't be good, and now the Heavenly Wind Kingdom is intervening in this matter. The shape suddenly became complicated.
"Yingxue, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone, why don't I go with you. Zhou Ming said with some concern. Ying Xue is now the coach, and there is no room for mistakes.
"Don't worry. Don't you know what I'm capable of? Besides, there are so many people and big goals that I'm not familiar with Kyoto? I'll do my best to get back. Yingxue said confidently.
Seeing Ying Xue say this, everyone had nothing to say, so they had to act separately according to Ying Xue's words. It was still early in the morning, and it was not the time to leave, but the defensive barrier in Kyoto had been fully opened, and Takayuki couldn't enter from the front at all, so he had to make a detour to the Plain of the Resentful Spirit and detour from the border into Kyoto.
Originally, the founding king of this country, he wanted to inspire future generations, set the capital of the border country in the closest place to the country of Tianfeng, and strictly forbade the relocation of the capital, the original intention was to increase the danger of the future generations, but he did not expect his descendants to take advantage of his will, but did not move the capital, but he did not understand the good intentions of his old man, not only buried the border country, but now it is also a convenient door for the country of Tianfeng, if his old man has a spirit in the sky, I really don't know how to feel.
Although it is not difficult for the country of Tianfeng to forcibly cross it, it is just so solemn that it can enter the border country on a large scale, even if it can subdue the border country, it will not outweigh the losses, and the surrounding countries are eyeing each other, if they mobilize a large-scale army, they will not be doing a loss-making deal, so the border country can survive so far. Eagle Snow Art is bold, he walked alone on the Plain of Resentful Spirits, although it was still early in the sky and there were no demon beasts, but he did not meet a single living person on the Plains of Resentful Spirits, and finally rushed to the top of the Plain.
Now it is already very lively on the border, and there is no panic because of the war, Yingxue is afraid of running into acquaintances, so he does not dare to stay, and immediately rushes to Kyoto, which has not been investigated in any way.
After entering Kyoto, Takayuki felt hungry and found a tavern where she was ready to sit down and have a good meal before proceeding.
"Alas, Brother Zhang, have you heard the news that the attack of Wang Zhuo's army has been repulsed today!" Ying Xue sat on the side, and suddenly heard someone discussing, seeing that it was two big men whispering on the side, she couldn't help but listen carefully.
"Of course I know, how powerful the hundred high-level magicians sent by the Wind Country that day were, how could Wang Zhuo's rebels be their opponents, I don't think Wang Zhuo will be able to do it for a few days. Brother Wang, what do you think? Another voice replied.
"Brother Zhang, I think, that's not what I said, Wang Zhuo already has such a huge force, and the border country is now only a lonely city, although there is Tianfeng Country to help, but if you want to defeat Wang Zhuo, I don't think it will be easy. The man surnamed Wang replied.
"Oh, Brother Wang, you have always been superior in knowledge, can you explain? The curiosity of the surname Zhang was aroused.
"This is not unavoidable, although there is the help of the Heavenly Wind Country, but it is difficult to support it for too long, after all, there are only about a hundred people in the Heavenly Wind Country, although the Heavenly Wind Country has said that there are troops to help, but they have not seen the action for a long time, I estimate that they want to take advantage of the defeat of both sides, to pick up the cheap. Moreover, I heard that the forbidden army is not very controlled now, but the king has no way to deal with them, after all, there is no real evidence, if you want to make a move against the forbidden army at this time, it will not add to the chaos. The man surnamed Wang said softly.
"Brother Wang's knowledge is really superior, but it seems that there is a following. The man surnamed Zhang asked in a low voice.
"Brother Zhang is already on the wrong side. How can this place be careless, be careful? Come and let's drink. After the man surnamed Wang made a gesture of killing his head, he stopped discussing the matter. continued to drink with the person surnamed Zhang, gossiping, and Ying Xue saw that the two were cautious, so she stopped listening to the conversation between the two of them.
Ying Xue secretly rejoiced in her heart, since the forbidden army is not in harmony with the current king, there must be an opportunity, it seems that she must go to the camp of the forbidden army today, I don't know, whether the current leader of the forbidden army is still Zhang Peng, Shan Tie, Liang Yuanshan, Duan Daxiong, Zhong Liyun and others. If it's a different person, then things won't be easy.
After thinking about it carefully, Yingxue decided to take a trip to the main camp of the divine soldiers by night, after all, this is a journey worth adventuring, Kyoto Yingxue is very familiar, although the forbidden army is stationed in the inner city, but the inner city is no better than the outer city, there is no strong defensive barrier here, and now Wang Zhuo's army has disappeared after being defeated. Everyone already knows that there is nothing going on in the outer city, and of course the vigilance in the inner city is not very strict, and people like Yingxue are not good-looking. It's also easy to mix in.
After Yingxue entered the inner city, she went straight to the main camp of the divine soldiers, although the forbidden army only had the strength of one army. But they were the main force guarding the inner city, and they were well armed. If you can win it, it will naturally be like a tiger with wings. It complements each other.
Yingxue quietly sneaked into the main camp tent and found that the main generals of the forbidden army were still the same, and Zhang Peng, Shan Tie, Liang Yuanshan, Duan Daxiong, Zhong Liyun and other five people sat together with sad faces as if they were discussing something.
Yingxue's arrival didn't seem to attract their attention, Zhang Peng, Shan Tie, Liang Yuanshan, Duan Daxiong, and Zhong Liyun thought that the guards came in to report the news, so they waved their hands and let him out, Yingxue secretly laughed, I don't know what happened to the five people, it made them so distracted, and they couldn't help coughing twice.
"Hey, your subordinates, so ignorant of the rules, go out quickly, I have something important to discuss with a few adults, if you have something, I'll report it later." Zhang Peng shouted softly.
"Report, I am a subordinate of Marshal Wang Zhuo, and I have come to report to several generals. Ying Xue said narrowly.
"Wang Zhuo, this name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere...... Ah!" The five of them didn't care at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't help but be shocked, isn't Wang Zhuo the mastermind of the rebels, and the five of them immediately drew their blades and prepared to make a move on Yingxue.
"The five generals should not be alarmed, I was entrusted by one of them to come to you to discuss something. Eagle Snow stood there calmly without showing any fear.
"Old man, what old man?" The five of them have rich experience and have seen strong winds and waves, seeing that Yingxue is so calm, they also slowly calm down, seeing that the other party is so determined, and sneaking in alone late at night, they must be confident, if they assassinate themselves, I am afraid that someone has already been killed or injured.
"A person named Ai Qi Yingxue asked me to come and say hello to everyone!" Yingxue said slowly, quietly observing the expressions of the five of them.
"What?!Coach Yingxue, where is he, where is he!" Among them, Zhang Peng was the most excited, dropped his weapon, grabbed Yingxue and shook it, and asked eagerly.
"Yes, where is the head of the sect, where is it. The other four were also very excited, which was great news.
"Generals, don't be bored, please sit down and listen to what you say slowly!" Ying Xue immediately reassured softly. After hearing this, the five of them realized that they had lost their temper, and hurriedly put away their excitement, sat back where they were, and waited for Yingxue's next step.
Seeing that the five of them were so excited, Ying Xue knew that Zhang Peng and the others had not forgotten about themselves, so she couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart, so she continued: "Generals, if I sue you, I am Ying Xue, can you believe it!"
"What, what kind of person are you, you actually know about the head of the Eagle Snow Sect, why did you come to play us again, I don't think you want to live anymore. Zhang Peng couldn't help but scolded angrily.
"General Zhang, please calm down!" After all, Shan Tie was calmer, he felt that this person in front of him was not joking, so he said to Yingxue with a straight face: "Your Excellency, why do you want to make fun of our brothers, please tell me bluntly, the whereabouts of the head of the sect, my five brothers must be grateful, otherwise, Your Excellency may be difficult to get out of the forbidden army's divine army camp today." ”
"You see it clearly. Ying Xue didn't say much, but withdrew the illusion technique and restored her original face.
Zhang Peng, Shan Tie, Liang Yuanshan, Duan Daxiong, and Zhong Liyun all opened their mouths wide as if they had been immobilized, and the things in front of them really made them unbelievable, but they were so real in front of them that they hesitated that they were in a dream, Zhang Peng couldn't help pinching himself fiercely, and then kicked Shan Tie next to him fiercely, and Shan Tie screamed in pain.
Shan Tie's cry woke Liang Yuanshan, Duan Daxiong, and Zhong Liyun from their doubts, but the five of them still didn't believe it, after all, this matter is too complicated now, they have always been cautious, of course they won't believe lightly, the one standing in front of them is Ying Xue, however, the five people have completely no hostility towards Ying Xue.
"Take the token and the letter, and go now. In the evening, I also invite all staff officers to come to the banquet together, and they must not be absent. After Yingxue said this, Zhang Peng, Shan Tie, Liang Yuanshan, Duan Daxiong, and Zhong Liyun were already completely convinced, and the person in front of them was indeed Yingxue, because of this sentence, of course, there were only a few of them present.
"That's right, it's really the head of the sect. Zhang Peng said excitedly. (To be continued......)
