Chapter Twenty-Eight: Rescue
Ying Zhong instructed his subordinates to gather all the horses and horses, quickly withdraw from the north gate of Jufeng Pass, and said that the meeting place was good, and sent three people to Julei Pass to investigate, Mo Xiaofeng asked Tang Lie to go with them, and then sent Zhuang Han and a few young generals of Jufeng Pass to Youguan for help. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The two of them are strong in martial arts, and if they encounter a killer again on the road, they will have a good response. Then a large number of their men and horses left the city one after another, and marched to the mountains to the northwest.
Walking to a place twenty miles away from Jufeng Pass, there are hillsides on three sides, and there is a weed below, just enough to hide, so it is hidden here.
Mo Xiaofeng sat with Huai Chong and Ying Zhong, and Ying Zhong couldn't help but ask Mo Xiaofeng: "Brother Mo, you haven't told me yet, what's wrong with that envoy from Youguan?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "I just suspect, not very sure, you didn't hear the messenger say that he was chased and killed, and then he was knocked unconscious and fell into the river, and he didn't wake up until midnight, which means that he soaked in the water for a whole day, if a normal person soaks in the water for a day, the whole body will be slightly swollen, and the skin will be white, but he doesn't have these abnormalities, it is very likely that he himself poured some cold water on his body, and then deliberately soiled his body!"
"Yes!" Ying Zhong said, "I really didn't pay attention to these!"
Mo Xiaofeng continued: "Also, he said that the black-clothed killers who came out of the road used weapons like iron locks, just to tell us that the wounds on his face were injured by the weapons like iron locks, but if I look closely, the wounds on his face should have been injured by a leather whip, he should have been captured alive, and then tortured!"
Ying Zhong suddenly realized: "So, he was captured alive by the King of Lanye County!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: " That's right, the king of Lanye County originally didn't want this envoy to come and tell us about the Youguan, but when the King of Lanye County learned that we had repelled the Heart Eater Clan, he wanted to inform us about the Youguan and the fact that General Suo Yin went to attack Stop the Flame City, so that we were in a dilemma, so he asked this envoy to come and report that if we sent 20,000 troops to go, the War Demon Clan would definitely be very tricky, but we only sent 10,000 troops to attack Youguan, and sent 10,000 troops to support General Suo Yin, which not only could not help Youguan, but also couldn't help General Suo Yin, and made us gather wind to guard the emptiness, and we just fell for his trick!”
Ying Zhong listened to his assessment of the original situation of the matter, and he couldn't help but believe it. Huai Chong said again: "Since you already knew, then why didn't you say it earlier!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "I said it, I just guessed, and I am not sure, but when the spies we sent to Julei Pass come back, we can know for sure!"
After a while, Tang Lie and the three spies returned. From a distance, he dismounted and greeted: "Second young master!" and ran over quickly, walked up to them, and they stood up from the ground.
Tang Lie said: "General Ying, we just went to Julei Pass to investigate, and found that all the soldiers in Julei Pass did not leave Julei Pass, we thought it was the person of the King of Lanye County at first, but then these brothers around me saw that the main general on the city wall turned out to be General Suoyin!"
"What!" Everyone was taken aback, and Ying Zhong was the most surprised: "Didn't General Suoyin go to attack Flame Stopping City, what is going on, can you see it clearly?"
A spy said: "General, we did see it clearly, what Brother Tang said was true, we took a closer look at it at the time, it was indeed General Suoyin!"
Ying Zhong said again: "You have to tell the truth, have you been discovered, and then they in turn instructed you to come back and lie to me?"
The spy said, "No, we are all very careful, and we will never leak any of our whereabouts!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "General Ying, you don't have to be suspicious, my people will not betray me, what they said should be true, so it can be more reasonable, what the messenger from the Youguan said is completely false, he didn't go to the Gathering Thunder Pass at all, his purpose is to let you send people to the Flame Stopping City, so that the garrison of the Gathering Wind Pass is empty!"
Ying Zhong said: "Isn't it very dangerous to say that my third brother is not very dangerous!" Huai Chong said again: "We have to hurry up and save General Bohuan!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "We are few and weak, I'm afraid it won't help if we go, but it will increase more casualties, besides, maybe General Bohuan is not as bad as we think now, we might as well send someone over there to see what the situation is before making a decision!"
"Well, okay!" Ying Zhong no longer hesitated, and said to the three spies, "Hurry up and go to Flame Stopping City again to see how General Bohuan is doing!"
Tang Lie said to Mo Xiaofeng: "Second young master, I'll go with you!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Okay, but you must be careful in everything!"
Tang Lie said: "Got it, Second Young Master!" After speaking, he took the three spies and rode on his horse and galloped towards Flame Stopping City.
A few of them sat down again, and Huai Chongxin responded to Zhong Zhong with questions: "General Ying, I think General Suoyin's matter is a little strange, since General Suoyin has not left Julei Pass, why is he unwilling to send troops to support you, has he changed his mind?"
Ying Zhong said: " You don't have to guess anymore, I know what's going on, this is going to talk about an incident seven years ago, when the demon army invaded Julei Pass, General Suo Yin was defeated, but the War Demon King took a fancy to his wife, his wife was the first beauty in the Falling Moon Country, and the Prince of Sheqi also loved her reluctantly, so the War Demon King put forward a condition, as long as General Suo Yin could give him his wife, he would let go of all the subordinates of General Suo Yin, General Suo Yin was sympathetic to his subordinates, so he had to reluctantly cut his love and give his wife to the War Demon King, the War Demon King took away his beloved wife, and he is still confined in the Flame Stopping City, I guess it must be the War Demon King who used his wife to blackmail him!”
"Oh!" Huai Chong said, "There are such things!"
Ying Zhong nodded, and then suddenly heard a voice: "Second young master, we are back!"
They searched for prestige, and it turned out that Zhuang Hanhe had returned from several young generals sent to Youguan for help.
Zhuang Han hurriedly ran over, sat on the ground, and said: "Second Young Master, General Ying, Mr. Huai, we went to Youguan, they have sent 20,000 horses to rush to this side, and a few of us will come back first to report a message." ”
Ying Zhong said: "Didn't you encounter any more killers along the way?"
Zhuang Han said: "No, everything is going well for us, but I heard that General Zuo Shan say that General Wusa was afraid that the Battle Demon King would really withdraw to Stop the Flame City, which would be bad for General Bohuan, so he took his 10,000 horses to the Stop Flame City too!"
"Why, my eldest brother has also gone to Flame Stopping City!" Ying Zhong said unexpectedly.
Mo Xiaofeng said: "General Wusa went to Flame Stopping City, this is also a good thing, at least General Bohuan's side doesn't have to worry, plus Tang Lie will definitely tell them about the matter, so that they can rest assured for the time being!"
Ying Zhong said: "What I'm worried about now is that we have less than 30,000 people, and we can't fight the Battle Demon King at all!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Victory or defeat doesn't depend on how many people there are, not to mention that we still have General Suoyin, as long as he can send troops, our chances of victory will be one more percent." ”
Ying Zhong said: "How can we get General Suoyin to send troops?"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Let me take a few people on a trip this time, I will find a way to let him send troops!"
Huai Chong said: "It's okay, so you can also go to the royal city by the way, go to the prince of Sheyi, and tell him that the king of Lanye County is unwilling to send troops, and let him send troops to support him quickly!"
Ying Zhong said: "Well, but I'm afraid that they don't know you, and I won't let you into the city when the time comes,!" he said that he took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Mo Xiaofeng and said: "You hold this sword, it has my name on it, if they don't let you into the city, you can show them this!"
Mo Xiaofeng took the sword, looked at it, and the words "Ying Zhong, the general of the left cavalry of Jufeng Pass" were engraved on it, and said: "Okay, without further ado, I'll go, you wait for my news!" Huai Chong said: "Go and come back quickly!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "Got it!" walked up to a horse and got on the horse.
Just about to leave, I heard Huai Chong shouting again: "Second young master, wait a while!" and ran over.
Mo Xiaofeng asked, "Mr. Huai, what else do you command?"
Huai Chong ran to Mo Xiaofeng, lowered his voice and said: "Second Young Master, we came to the Falling Moon Country this time, originally wanted to take these two thousand people and horses and then contact the prince of Wangcheng and secretly help us rob Rong Yunma, but at the moment, we can't leave this situation for a while, can you help you see Prince Sheyi, just say that I asked you to find him, let him check where Rong Yunma is being held, and let him help you find Rong Yunma, which is also the real reason why I asked you to find Prince Sheyi to move the rescuers, and then the matter here will be handed over to me first!" ”
Mo Xiaofeng said: "How far is it from here to the royal city?"
Huai Chong said: "You go east from Julei Pass to bypass Lanye City, I know that there is a small road there, and it is less than eighty miles from there to Wangcheng, you hurry up overnight, as long as you can come back before sunset tomorrow!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely do what you explain!"
Huai Chong didn't want to delay him any longer, and said, "Okay, this matter can't be delayed, you can leave quickly!"
"Hmm!" Mo Xiaofeng nodded, and took the two envoys sent by Ying Zhong towards Julei Pass.
The beautiful scenery all over the mountains, as the sun sets, originally had a unique appearance, but at this time it seems extremely lonely. The usual cappella singing of the herdsmen on the mountain and the footprints of the woodcutters disappeared in an instant. The Gathering Wind Pass was empty, and in the silence, it seemed that the flowers and trees on the left and right were welcoming the arrival of a fierce battle. On the hillside, all the people in Jufeng Pass have not let their guard down.
The War Demon King led the army of the War Demon Clan, and sure enough, the troops were already outside the gate of Jufeng Pass, but he only felt that the city seemed to be empty, and there was no one around the city wall. The military advisor beside the War Demon King said: "Hey, King, why doesn't there seem to be anyone here, it won't be scared away!!" The War Demon King smiled indifferently: "No, in the history books of the Tang Empire, there was a story called the Empty City Plan!" The military advisor said: "I also know this, they just want us to retreat without a fight!"
The Battle Demon King snorted coldly without hesitation, and said to one of his next soldiers: "You go and tell them, don't play this ghost trick of empty city tricks with me, if you are afraid, open the city gate quickly, this king may be able to spare their lives, if they don't open, we can only break through!"
"Yes, King!"
The man stepped forward and shouted to the wall, "Listen, people inside, we know that you are hiding inside, open the gates of the city quickly, and our king cannot bear to hurt you......" He shouted for a while, but no one answered and no one came out.
The Battle Demon King said to his opponent: "Let him stop screaming, go up the ladder, and go over and knock the door open for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Stop, you all stop!"
The War Demon King and his men turned their heads to see a young man in black robes, riding a horse and holding a token in his hand, and all the soldiers made way for him. The War Demon King said: "It's the subordinate of the Taievil King." ”
The black-robed man walked to the side of the War Demon King, dismounted and said, "War Demon King, our Tai Evil King sent someone to ask you to withdraw your army, why didn't you listen, but instead attacked Youguan and then Jufeng Pass!"
The War Demon King smiled and said, "Why don't I listen, when I capture their royal city, I will naturally withdraw my troops!" and said sharply to his subordinates: "You can go up the ladder for me and knock the door open for me!"
His men listened to his command and began to act.
The black-robed man said angrily: "Battle Demon King, you are going against our Evil King!"
The War Demon King said: "You stinky boy, don't talk nonsense here, you go back and tell the Taievil King, when I capture the royal city, I will naturally withdraw my troops, hurry up, don't hinder me!"
"You ......" Before he could say anything, the War Demon King shouted again, "If you don't leave, I'll tie you up!"
"You...... I ......" The War Demon King simply said: "Come on, tie me up!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-robed man hurriedly shouted: "Stop, who dares to move!"
The War Demon King said: "If you don't leave, everyone here dares to touch you, it's too late for you to leave now!"
"Okay, good ......" The black robe gritted his teeth and nodded his head angrily, unable to speak, shook his head suddenly, turned around and got on the horse, and walked away.
The military advisor beside the Battle Demon King said, "Great King, will we offend several other Demon Kings like this?"
The War Demon King smiled contemptuously, "What if you offend!" He looked at the group of people in front of him and slammed the city gate with their rushing cars, but the city gate was still closed. said: "Another group of people, hit me hard!"
So another group of people got on and pushed the cart and crashed into the city gate. The War Demon King smiled and was anxious.
"Boom, boom, boom" I don't know how many times I hit it, and finally it struck violently, and as soon as the city gate opened, sharp arrows suddenly shot out from both sides, and dozens of people in the front fell to the ground one after another! The rest of the people shouted: "Be careful that there is a mechanism!" and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing the situation in front of him, the War Demon King said viciously: "Okay, give me this trick!" and said to his subordinates: "Everyone be careful when you enter the city, after entering the city, check all the organs for me, and comprehensively search the vicinity within ten miles, if there are people, don't let anyone go!"
Immediately led all the horses into the city gate, and there was a noise in the Gathering Wind Pass, and all the demon armies searched everywhere, and they were destroyed everywhere.
