Shangguan Yun and Ning Jiu'er took advantage of the night to bypass the Jin people's sentinels, and finally entered Bianliang City, and the two planned to meet with Uncle Zhang at night first, so that he would know the situation in Xiangzhou, so they came to the south of the city. When he arrived at Nanxun Gate, he saw that Uncle Zhang had just returned from a battle outside the city, and he had not seen him for a few days, and he was even more tired.

Uncle Zhang saw Shangguan Yun and Ning Jiu'er at night, and the reinforcements had not arrived, so he had already guessed a few points, but he still asked: "Little brother, could it be that King Kang has not sent reinforcements?"

Shangguan Yun shook his head and said: "King Kang listened to the words of the people and wanted to send troops to the Daimyo's Mansion to retreat from the enemy by encircling Wei and saving Zhao." ”

Uncle Zhang frightened at night: "The Daimyo's Mansion is impregnable, and if the Tartars defend the city, how can it be so easy to attack." What's more, Tartar will definitely not care about a mere famous mansion, Wanyan Zong will take Bianliang when he sees it, he will definitely not divide his troops to help, how can this encircle Wei and save Zhao? Xiangzhou has many fierce generals and talents who are proficient in the art of war in battle formations, is there no one Chen Xiao who is powerful?"

Shangguan Yun shook his head and sighed, and said, "Master Zong Zezong and Brother Yue are arguing with reason, how can King Nakang have already made up his mind, and they are helpless. ”

Uncle Zhang heard the old tears, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "King Kang mistook me for the Great Song, how stupid, could it be that God is going to kill my Great Song, how can the old man save him?" As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Zhang almost couldn't stand still, and Shangguan Yun hurriedly held on.

Shangguan Yun also felt sad in his heart, and persuaded: "Lord Zhang, Brother Yue has sent someone to Dongting Water Village to move rescue troops, and it won't be long before Zhong Xiang Yang Mi can rush to Bianliang." ”

Uncle Zhang's face was full of sorrow, and he said bitterly: "The general has received a military order, Guo Jing will go to the city tower tomorrow to do the law, and the Song army is not allowed to go out of the city to fight, and he also ordered the general to follow Sun Fu to the city tower to watch." At that time, the city gate will be opened, and the Tartars will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city, and no matter how many people there are, it will be too late to catch up. ”

Shangguan Yun was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why are they so fast? How can the more than 7,000 people who set up the formation be gathered at one moment?"

Uncle Zhang was so angry that he trembled all over, and said hatefully: "The traitor Guo Jing recruited them all belong to the scoundrels in the Bianliang market. ”

Ning Jiu'er asked, "Why didn't Lord Zhang persuade the emperor?"

This question was a little rude, but Uncle Zhang was not at ease, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The general has already made a statement the day before yesterday, let Guo Jing try the Liujia method first, if it is effective, and then reuse it, but he was sternly refuted by Sun Fu, and the emperor also wanted to condemn him." Now they are bent on using Guo Jing to retreat from the enemy, and they are so convinced of his spells that they can't listen to it at all. Alas, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and the old man is also powerless. ”

Shangguan Yun was furious and said hatefully: "The only way to do this is to kill Guo Jing with a knife." ”

Xin Kan and Guo Jing were the guests of Qinzong, and Qinzong was convinced of the two of them, this move was already a rebellion, a great act of rebellion, if people caught the truth, they would definitely punish the nine clans. But at this moment, seeing that the Jin people were about to break the city and there were no rescuers coming, although Zhang Shuye was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, under expediency, he also agreed in his heart.

Uncle Zhang pondered for a while and said: "If you can get rid of Xinkan and Guo Jing, the Tartars' plan will not be defeated, and Wanyan Zongwang will have to find another way to attack the city, and the danger of Bianliang should be relieved for a while." However, Xin and Guo set up tricks to break the city, they must be weak-minded, and secretly bring a lot of followers. The emperor is convinced of his skills, and will definitely send someone to protect him, and there are thousands of guards in the palace, I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to handle. ”

Ning Jiu'er also said: "Brother Shangguan, since Xin Kan and Guo Jing dare to come to Bianliang to make trouble, they must have taken precautions. If Elder Gu and they are here, they will not suffer a loss in the fight, but now that there are only you and me, it is not easy to kill them. ”

Shangguan Yun also knew that this matter was not easy, but the time was pressing, the reinforcements could not come for a while, and Qinzong and they could not listen to the persuasion, only the danger of recruiting the bank, he had made up his mind, and said: "Xinkan is secretly plotting, he is afraid that his identity will be revealed, and he will not dare to bring his entourage into the palace with great fanfare, let alone let the palace guards accompany him." We just need to stay outside the palace, and when the two of them come out, they suddenly burst out and kill people, and there may be a three-point chance of victory. If they slow down a little longer, once they do it tomorrow, Bianliang will break the city, and it will be too late. ”

This is the truth, if you don't take the risk, you can't stop Xin Kan and Guo Jing, Ning Jiu'er nodded and said: "Now there is no other way, I have to try first." ”

Uncle Zhang was silent when he heard this, and only after a moment did he resolutely say: "This matter is not what we want, it is really a last resort, that is, the emperor believes that the general is plotting rebellion, and the general can't take care of it." It is to fight for the life of a family, as long as he can save the emperor from danger, what can he fear! The old man has been famous all his life, and he will go forward with the two of them to get rid of the traitor, and he will definitely take down the heads of the two demons, Xin Kan and Guo Jing. ”

Shangguan Yun didn't want him to take risks with him, and persuaded: "Lord Zhang, the situation in Bianliang is very dangerous, except for the adults, there are no good generals in the city, and it all depends on the adults to guard the city gates. Surprise assassination is not like battlefield combat, it is not to win with a large number of people, but to surprise and kill with one blow. Although Xinkan's martial arts are high, there is still a few chances of winning against him; looking at Guo Jing's appearance, he must be addicted to wine, not like how high his kung fu is, it is more than enough to have Miss Ning's help. ”

Ning Jiu'er also persuaded: "Adults are burdened with defending the city, and they can't get out of it for a moment, let alone take risks for no reason, so as not to miss the important matter of defending the city." Please Lord Zhang still guard the city gate, in case we miss, we will not lose Bianliang immediately. ”

Uncle Zhang saw that the two of them were reasonable, so he no longer insisted on it.

Shangguan Yun and Ning Jiu'er came to the inner city, only to see panicked people everywhere, the Jin people had already surrounded Bianliang, and these people could not escape, so they could only stay in the city and be afraid. Seeing that the people in the city were suffering from the war and were about to be displaced again, Shangguan Yun hated Xin Kan even more, and wanted to cut him with a thousand knives to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

The two came to the outside of the palace, climbed the palace wall from a no-man's land, probed in, and saw that the palace was heavily guarded, compared with a few days ago, there have been a lot of guards, looking like this, it must be because Shangguan Yun made a big fuss in the Zichen Hall a few days ago. The two of them did not dare to startle the snake, and quietly returned to the street, staying far away under the west corner tower, intending to wait for an opportunity here. At this time, it was getting late, Shangguan Yun and Ning Jiu'er were hidden in the dark, both eyes were staring at the direction of the palace gate, and after waiting for half an hour, they finally saw two people coming out of the palace, and by the light at the city gate, Shangguan Yun recognized that it was Xin Kan and Guo Jing.

Xin Kan was wearing a human skin mask, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, but seeing him with his chest folded and his belly folded, his head held high, and his high-spirited attitude, he must have been very proud in his heart. Guo Jing pretended to be detached and unconventional, thinking that he was fluttering and immortal, but he was even more obscene. One after the other, they went out of the palace from the right gate, and the two of them were not in a hurry to go far when they left the palace gate. Xinkan stretched out his hand to his mouth, and whistled a few times, and as soon as the voice fell, he heard people responding everywhere outside the palace, it seemed that it was the entourage brought by Xinkan, and the sound was no less than two miles away from here.
