Chapter 263 Mission

The siege battle on the first day was fought, the Zhenxi army suffered heavy casualties, and the rebels defending the city were not easy, at the head of the city, a large number of soldiers were so tired that they collapsed on the ground, and the joy of withstanding the attack of the Zhenxi army could not be seen on people's faces, and the atmosphere on the city wall was dull and depressing.

After a day of commanding the battle, Shi Kevin's voice was almost hoarse, and after supervising the soldiers under his command to arrange the city defenses, he returned to the county guard mansion exhausted. At this time, it was already dark, and as soon as he entered the county guard's mansion, he had only taken a sip of tea, and before his butt was hot, he saw his personal attendant Zhang Wenguang hurriedly walking in from outside.

Seeing him come in, Shi Kevin asked weakly, "Wen Guang, why are you not staring at the assassins?"

Zhang Wenguang came to Shi Kaiwen's approach, frowned and said, "My lord, assassin...... The Assassin was rescued. ”

"What did you say?" Shi Kai Wenteng, who was originally sitting in the chair, stood up and looked at Zhang Wenguang in disbelief. The latter lowered his head and whispered: "When the lord was commanding the battle in Xicheng, the county guard was suddenly attacked, and when the villain fought with the attacker, the assassin ...... The assassin was taken away......"

When Shi Kaiwen heard this, his eyes turned red with anger, and he grabbed Zhang Wenguang by the collar, and asked angrily: "Who is it? Who is the person who came to attack the county guard?"

"The other side is ...... They are all dark cultivators, so they should ...... It should be with the Assassins!" Zhang Wenguang stammered in fright.

Li Zhu, another personal attendant standing aside, stepped forward and whispered to Shi Kevin: "My lord, since the assassin Xiao Cui can infiltrate the county guard's mansion, I believe that there are other assassins who have also mixed in. During the day, the adults went to Xicheng to command the battle, and most of the cultivators in the county guard mansion also went to Xicheng to participate in the battle, leaving only Wen Guang alone, which was really difficult to deal with!"

Shi Kevin slowly let go of Zhang Wenguang's collar and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are on the other side?"

"This ...... The villain doesn't know, the person who comes is strong and powerful, and the villain can only barely cope with one person!"

Shi Kevin clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "The four cities have been sealed, the assassins can't escape, and now they must still be in the city!" As he spoke, he looked at Li Zhu and Zhang Wenguang beside him, and asked in a condensed voice: "What are you two still standing here?" Go and track down the assassin, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the assassin for me!"

"Yes, my lord!" Li Zhu and Zhang Wenguang hurriedly replied and walked out quickly. Watching the two of them leave, Shi Kevin couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, it is really an eventful time now, there are Zhenxi Army and Central Army soldiers outside the city, and there are assassins in the city who are elusive and want to take their lives at all times, and the Ningnan people who have contacted him have not been seen for a long time, and it seems that Ningnan has given up on himself. Thinking of this, Shi Kewen frowned and shook his head again and again.

Now he doesn't know where he should go, surrender must be a dead end, stick to Xijing, how long can he hold on, Xijing has now become a lonely city, isolated, and the soldiers die one less one. At this time, Shi Kewen finally had a sense of urgency that a catastrophe was coming.

Xijing has long been sealed down, and it is difficult for the people in the city to escape out, but Xijing is not a small city after all, and the population in the city is hundreds of thousands, and it is too difficult to find a few hidden assassins in such a large Xijing City.

Skyvin's men tossed and turned for most of the night, but failed to find any trace of the Assassin.

Early the next morning, Shi Kewen found a confidant civil official, this person is named Zheng Ke, who can speak well and has a quick mind, he asked Zheng Ke to go to the camp of the Zhenxi Army, and negotiate with Shangguanxiu, hoping to persuade the Zhenxi Army to retreat.

When Zheng Ke heard this, he grinned secretly, Shi Kewen let himself send the Zhenxi Army, didn't that let him go to death? In yesterday's battle, the Zhenxi Army suffered thousands of casualties, and it is estimated that they all have nowhere to vent their anger with their stomachs.

He swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "My lord, the Zhenxi Army poured out of the nest this time, and also invited the Central Army to fight together, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we can't persuade us to retreat in a few words!"

Shi Kevin glared suddenly, and shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of? It's not like we don't have no chips in our hands!" There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xijing City, and when you see Shangguan Xiu, you can clearly tell him that if the Zhenxi army continues to attack the city, we will push the people in the city to the city as a shield, and if they want to break the city, they will first step on the corpses of the people, once the city is broken, we will of course die, but the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will not survive, and they will be our funeral goods, and when the time comes, see how Shangguan Xiu and the Zhenxi army explain to the people all over Zhenjun!"

Zheng Ke's sweat beads dripped down his forehead, he lowered his head and didn't say a word. Shi Kevin glared at him angrily, pulled out his saber with his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you don't dare to go, Lao Tzu will split you now!"

At the moment of life and death, Shi Kevin is already red-eyed, no matter whether the other party is his henchman or not, now he can do anything. Zheng Ke's body shook, swallowed his saliva, and responded urgently: "Subordinate, subordinate obey orders." ”

"Hmm. Hearing that he agreed, Shi Kevin's face softened a little. He put his sword into the sheath and said: "After seeing Shangguan Xiu, you have to weigh the pros and cons with him, and explain the stakes clearly, understand? He stormed Xijing, and in the end he would only get a dead city, and the people of Zhenjun would definitely count the account of hundreds of thousands of dead souls in Xijing on his Shangguan Xiu's head, and if he is willing to withdraw his troops, I can guarantee that he will never invade a village or a town in Zhenxi again in the future." ”

"Yes! ”

"There you go!"

"Subordinates retire!" Zheng Ke was full of helplessness, feeling that Shi Kaiwen was whimsical, planning to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Xijing City to force Shangguan Xiu to comply, and to blackmail him to withdraw from the army, how could it be possible, even if Shangguan Xiu agreed, would the imperial court agree, and the central army would agree?

Zheng Ke didn't think that the people in Xijing City had such a big weight, but under the persecution of Shi Kaiwen, he could only go to the camp of the Zhenxi Army.

When he went out of the western capital, Zheng Ke brought one or two hundred soldiers to protect him, and secondly, he was also redundant, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp of the Zhenxi army, and he was an envoy in Chapter 263

There is no difference between going with people and taking one or two hundred people with them.

When he left the city, he did not dare to go to the west city, but detoured from the north city. When he approached the camp of the Zhenxi Army, he and the hundred or so people he brought were surrounded by thousands of Zhenxi Army, Zheng Ke hurriedly explained his intention to the Zhenxi Army, it was really good, Shangguan Xiuzhen agreed with him, which made Zheng Ke's heart finally fall a little.

He was taken into the Zhongjun tent by the soldiers of the Zhenxi army. After entering, he raised his eyes and saw that sitting in the center was a young man who was nearly twenty years old, the young man was wearing civilian clothes, just an ordinary black brocade robe, a black belt around his waist, and black boots under his feet, but he could not hide the compelling momentum exuded from his body. Looking at his face, his facial features are profound and handsome, his temples and two strands of silver hair hang down on his chest, and a pair of eagle eyes are slightly squinted, and the essence light shoots out, which is chilling. Behind him, there stood two retinues, a man and a woman, and on the left and right of the tent, there were three courteous strategists.

After seeing it, Zheng Ke hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed down, and said respectfully: "Villain Zheng Ke, see Lord Shangguan!"

Shangguan Xiu sat cross-legged on the mat and did not speak immediately, his sharp eyes looked back and forth on Zheng Ke. After a while, he slowly waved his hand and asked, "Did Skevin send you?"

"Exactly!"

"What do you mean?"

"Uh, sir...... The adults sent the villains to talk to the Shangguan about the withdrawal of the army. ”

Shangguan Xiu was stunned when he heard this, then laughed on his back and said, "Retire the army? Haha! As long as Skevenken sacrifices Xijing, disarms and surrenders, my Zhenxi Army will naturally retreat." ”

Zheng Ke cleared his throat and said: "My lord said that if Lord Shangguan refuses to withdraw his troops and will attack Xijing, even if the city is finally broken, Lord Shangguan will only get a dead city, and the soldiers of our army will pull hundreds of thousands of people in the city to Huangquan together." As soon as he said this, the faces of Wu Nian, Dong Zhe, and Kong Di who were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army changed, and Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, who were standing behind Shangguan Xiu, also had their faces sinking like water, their eyes were fierce, and the two of them invariably held the handle of the saber. Zheng Ke saw it clearly, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "But ...... But if Lord Shangguan is willing to withdraw from the army, my family will sign an alliance with Lord Shangguan to borrow the alliance forever, and in the future, the two sides will not fight each other, I don't know...... I don't know what Lord Shangguan thinks?"

Shangguan Xiu remained silent and asked slowly, "Your name is Zheng Ke?"

"Yes...... Yes!"

"Where are you coming from?"

"Villain...... The villain is from the North City. ”

"Oh. Shangguan Xiu replied casually, and then, he stood up and said, "Our army will not retreat, before taking Xijing." Shi Kevin wants to use the people of Xijing as a bargaining chip to blackmail me, but it is useless, to quell the rebellion, death and injury are inevitable, even if Shi Kevin really does that, people will not put this account on my head, but will only let him be spurned by the whole world. As for you, don't go back to Xijing. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei on the side both pulled out their sabers and strode towards Zheng Ke.

Seeing the two of them coming straight to him with murderous violence, Zheng Ke was so frightened that his face was bloodless, he retreated again and again, and stammered to Shangguan Xiu: "Shang...... Lord Shangguan, two ...... The two countries are at war, and they don't kill ......"

"Unfortunately, it's not the two countries that are at war now, and you're not just a fellow rebel. Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and said with a smile.

"Big ...... Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......" Zheng Ke's knees weakened, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed forward again and again.

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei had already come to his side with knives, and the two of them looked back at Shangguan Xiu, as long as he gave an order, they would not hesitate to cut off his head.

Shangguan Xiu's chin rose slightly, and he asked slowly, "Do you want to live?"
