Three days later, Wang Zhong, Qiao Feng and Ding Hui dressed up as palace guards, and followed Hao Lianchunshu into the palace, while Bai Shijing left the General's Mansion with Xiaolian and the three daughters, all the way to the border line, Hao Lianchunshu had already left all the disciples of the Pancheng Beggars Gang on the border line, waiting for Bai Shijing and the four to converge.

Wang Zhong and Qiao Feng followed behind the Hao Lianchunshu brothers, keeping their heads down, only glancing around with their spare eyes, of course they were not enjoying the scenery of the Western Xia Palace, but looking for an escape route.

There is a birthday banquet in the palace today, which is the birthday ceremony made by Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, for his grandmother, just now Hao Lianchunshu has told Wang Zhong that the target is Li Qiushui, the grandmother of the king of Western Xia.

Wang Zhong had already guessed that it was nothing, but Qiao Feng knew that the king of Western Xia was going to kill his own grandmother, and he was quite disdainful, but he was appeased by Wang Zhong.

Originally, Hao Lianchunshu wanted Wang Zhong and the three of them to dress up as eunuchs and blend into the birthday banquet, but Qiao Feng and Ding Hui refused to pretend to be eunuchs, so Hao Lianchunshu could only give up and let them pretend to be guards.

Although the Shoudian was in the palace, the king of Xixia invited a lot of civil and military ministers to the banquet, and for safety reasons, he even fell to the forbidden army to protect him, Hao Lianchunshu as the commander of Yipintang, it was not difficult to mix a few people in.

Wang Zhong guessed in his heart that the forbidden troops who protected the birthday banquet were actually the killer weapon of Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, in order to deal with Li Qiushui.

If Wang Zhong and the others couldn't kill Li Qiushui, then the king of Western Xia would let the forbidden army deal with Wang Zhong and the three of them in the name of catching assassins, and no one would believe that he, the king of Western Xia, would cooperate with the Song beggars to kill his grandmother.

If Wang Zhong and they killed Li Qiushui, the king of Western Xia could let the forbidden army arrest Wang Zhong and them, in the name of avenging his grandmother.

So no matter what, Wang Zhong and the others will definitely die when they enter the palace.

Wang Zhong and the others knew very well in their hearts, but in order to save those beggar disciples, they had to give in.

The king of Western Xia used a thorough yang strategy, and Wang Zhong and them would not be able to comply.

Hao Lian Chunshu was not afraid of Wang Zhong and the three of them temporarily escaping, and when he was not sure that Bai Shijing and those beggar disciples were safe, Wang Zhong and the three of them would never run.

Li Qianshun and Hao Lianchunshu's abacus is really good, and they took advantage of this matter.

Qiao Feng and Ding Hui were unwilling, but so what, although the martial arts had been restored, Li Shouren had always been behind them, once they made a move, the next moment Li Shouren's long knife would slash over, the guards in the palace would surround him, and the beggars and disciples might not be safe.

It is difficult to ride a tiger, and now it is the situation of Wang Zhong and the others.

However, Wang Zhong and the three of them did not show too much anxiety, but were extremely calm, especially Wang Zhong and Qiao Feng.

Wang Zhong is calm because he is confident, and Qiao Feng is calm because the more he encounters a desperate situation, the more calm he becomes, and it is this quality that often allows him to turn danger into a disaster.

Before the birthday banquet began, Wang Zhong and the three of them mixed in, pretending to be guards to guard the main table, which was the main table of the King of Western Xia and Li Qiushui, and they were on the left and right.

Two hours later, the birthday banquet slowly began, and Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, and Li Qiushui, the empress dowager, entered the venue as the protagonists.

In the sound of ceremonial music, Li Qianshun, who was dressed in a dragon robe, accompanied by the eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right, slowly walked into the venue and sat in the most central position, Wang Zhong was standing on his left, and he could even see the back of Li Qianshun's head.

In fact, Li Qianshun's assassination of Li Qiushui this time was very risky, after all, if Wang Zhong was murderous, it would be most convenient to kill him first.

However, when Wang Zhong showed his killing intent, Li Qianshun coughed lightly, and then said a word as if no one was around.

"Hu Hanping's holy decree has been issued!"

Li Qianshun turned his back to Wang Zhong, but Wang Zhong knew that he was talking to himself. The meaning is also obvious, if he Li Qianshun dies, Hu Hanping's holy decree will be a piece of waste paper, and because the emperor died at the hands of the beggars and Han people, the Han people in the Western Xia Kingdom will live even more painfully.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that when you are angry, blood is splashed in five steps!" Wang Zhong said coldly.

"I'm gambling, betting that you won't lose the reputation of the beggars for hundreds of years for a moment's speed!" Li Qianshun said.

"Your Majesty is a good gambler, I don't know what the gambling is?" Wang Zhong clenched the knife in his hand and asked.

The corners of Li Qianshun's mouth curled slightly, and he said righteously: "You have no jokes!"

Wang Zhong let go of his fingers, the killing intent in his heart disappeared, and then asked, "How is Li Qiushui's martial arts?"

Li Qianshun whispered: "Unfathomable, far above Li Shouren!"

Wang Zhong asked: "We can't even beat Li Shouren, how can we kill Li Qiushui?"

Li Qianshun said: "You don't need to worry, I have my own arrangements, you just need to listen to General Hao Lian's orders!"

Wang Zhong saw the Hao Lianchunshu brothers not far away, and bowed slightly.

"Remember, you only have one chance!" After Li Qianshun finished saying this, he stopped talking, because the protagonist of the birthday banquet had arrived.

Wang Zhong looked around and found that at the entrance of the venue, a woman wearing a luxurious dress, a phoenix crown, and a light veil to cover her face walked in.

As soon as this woman arrived, the whole audience quieted down, and Wang Zhong even found that Li Qianshun, who was close at hand, began to breathe heavily, and it took a long time to regain his calm.

In the entire palace, the only one who can make Li Qianshun lose his temper like this is his grandmother Li Qiushui.

Unlike when Li Qianshun entered the scene, there were only two palace maids next to Li Qiushui, and Wang Zhong found that the palace maids were pregnant with superior martial arts, and I am afraid that Li Qiushui taught them.

Li Qiushui seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the focus of the audience, and the speed of walking was very slow, and it took a long time to walk in front of Li Qianshun, and then nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, and then sat on Li Qianshun's left hand, next to him were Qiao Feng and Ding Hui, who were pretending to be guards.

Because of the innate master's mental sensitivity, Wang Zhong didn't dare to look at Li Qiushui more, but through his observation, he found that this disciple of the Carefree Sect, who was at least eighty years old this year, not only did he not look old, but his figure alone was attractive enough, but he had a veil on his face, and he couldn't see his true face.

After Li Qiushui sat down, Li Qianshun announced the start of the birthday banquet, singing and dancing, and the guests enjoyed themselves.

At the banquet, Li Qiushui has been covering his face with a scarf, and he doesn't eat or drink much, just blindly watching the guests drink, and even Li Qianshun rarely moves his chopsticks.

In fact, this kind of birthday banquet has been held many times in the past, that is, it was a formality, and Li Qianshun was also quite perfunctory, until the later part of the guests' gifts.

The important ministers of the Western Xia court had to present Li Qiushui with birthday gifts every year, and the heavier the gift, the happier Li Qiushui was.

When a third-grade official of the imperial court took out a picture of a lady as a gift, Hao Lianchunshu's hand slipped, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

This is Hao Lianchunshu's signal, signaling the signal of Qiao Feng and Ding Hui, who are closest to Li Qiushui, to sneak attack.

According to the original plan, when Li Qiushui focused on the birthday ceremony, Hao Lianchunshu would give a signal, Qiao Feng and Ding Hui both attacked Li Qiushui, and Wang Zhong went to mend the knife again, not to kill Li Qiushui, but to hit her hard.

But when Hao Lianchunshu's signal arrived, Qiao Feng and Ding Hui were reluctant to make a move, and Li Qianshun next to him couldn't help but feel cold.

At this time, Li Qiushui turned his head, looked at Li Qianshun, and said with a smile: "Good grandson, are you wondering, why didn't these two beggar gang masters sneak attack the mourning family!"

Li Qiushui said a word, and the frightened Li Qianshun stood up violently, but at this time, Wang Zhong's right hand fell on his shoulder.
