Chapter 172: Breaking into the Palace

Tang Jun and the two of them retreated inside, leaving people to set traps, because there were many wounded soldiers, and the speed of retreat was extremely slow.

After Wagle sent people to the forest, he cautiously went inside, the ancient trees in the mountain forest were towering, overgrown with weeds, and the sun could not shine in, which looked particularly gloomy, and the group cautiously advanced inside.

As he was walking, a row of sharp blades shot directly from the trees, and in an instant, the first few Tatar soldiers who were in the forefront were directly wounded and bloody.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers who led the team waved their hands to signal caution, and continued to walk inside, from time to time they encountered some ambushed traps and always lost some manpower, so long the other party's figure was not seen, but his own people lost a lot, Wagle scolded angrily.

He even directly ordered that no matter how much the price was, these two people must be captured alive, and vowed to hang people on the city gate to show the public, which severely hit the morale of the people of Great Xia.

Tang Juntong and the two of them in the depths of the woods were also uncomfortable, the woods were intricate and the terrain was messy, many soldiers had arrived in Qingyang City the night before, and when they arrived in the city, they directly encountered the Tatar soldiers, almost did not enter, and after a day of fighting, they were chased here, and at this moment they were already hungry, if it wasn't for the Tatars chasing outside, they would have stopped and didn't want to move directly.

Seeing where so many people in the woods should go, Tang Jun consulted with the two of them and walked to the opposite peak, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they now placed the injured people in a hidden place, and the rest of the people returned to the woods with Tang Jun and the two of them.

The two no longer fled, ready to meet head-on, otherwise they would have been chased and didn't know when they would go, and the reinforcements didn't know when they would arrive, so they had to rely on themselves first.

Xiahou Xuan, who led the troops back, directly encountered the Tatar soldiers again, and the two teams fought in the forest.

When the people led by Xiahou Zhong felt that Qingyang City, the city had been occupied by the Tatar army, and seeing this scene, Xiahou Zhong did not stay long and rode his horse directly to chase nearby.

Following the traces of the horse's hooves, he found the edge of the forest, and Wagger's scouts reported to him: "King, Xiahou Zhong has come to the aid with a large number of men and horses. ”

Xiahou is famous for using soldiers like gods, and if he doesn't want to be directly confronted, it is futile to entangle the arrival of reinforcements, so he has to withdraw his troops in a stupid manner.

Xiahou Zhong took people to the forest, only the corpses and wounded Great Xia soldiers were left all over the ground after the fight, and when he saw Tang Juntong and Xiahou Xuan, although they were colorful, they were still safe and sound, and Xiahou Zhong's heart was put in his stomach.

Returned to Lieyang City with the remnants of the army, 50,000 horses when he went out, and only less than 20,000 people were left when he came back, Qingyang City was even more lost, Xiahou Zhong was angry and directly sentenced the two to fifty military sticks, and the soldiers pleaded to avoid half of them.

Xiahou Zhong was restless in the tent, and Xiao Xinrong didn't hear a sound when he came in.

After seeing Xiao Xinrong, Xiahou Zhong said: "The last general agrees with the prince's idea, but I will arrange the personnel when I go." "As long as this plan is feasible, it doesn't matter who arranges the entourage.

Xiahou Zhong was afraid that there would be a little difference in this trip, so he ordered ten skilled players to act as Xiao Xinrong's guards, Xiao Xinrong pretended to be a businessman, took Zhang Hu and Zhao Wei, and drove the carriage, which was loaded with cloth, porcelain and other things to the Tatar royal city.

The further north you go, the warmer it gets, the hotter the weather gets, and the gusts of wind and sand blow sand all over your mouth.

The buildings here are very different from those in the capital, the houses are all rough and atmospheric, and the white castles are all made of stones, and the horns decorated with animals can be seen everywhere.

When they arrived in the Tatar royal city, Xiao Xinrong and his party attracted many onlookers, because it was wartime, and the materials of the Great Xia Kingdom could not be transported to the territory of Tatar, and the caravan led by Xiao Xinrong arrived in Tatar Chengdu unhindered, and the women rushed to buy cloth.

Several people stayed in an inn, claiming that the caravan had been bribed to get in, and the Tatars did not take this group of people seriously, and Xiao Xinrong took advantage of the nights of the past few days to touch the Tatar palace.

There was not much place in the Tatar royal palace in total, and Xiao Xinrong, the residence of the eldest prince and the palace where he received the courtiers, were very clear, and after the arrangement was made that night, he was ready to go to meet the eldest prince for a while.

Xiao Xinrong and Zhang Hu Zhao Wei put on night clothes, and placed a few people outside the palace to wait for pick-up, a few people took advantage of the night to turn over and enter the palace, the night was quiet, only a few teams of guarded soldiers patrolled back and forth, Xiao Xinrong took advantage of the guards' inattention, and quietly touched the palace where the tile spur was.

Xiao Xinrong stretched out the dagger in his hand, gently pushed open the door and dodged into the house, and the tile thorn, who was dealing with government affairs, saw the door open and three people in night clothes came in, took out the scimitar under the table and stood up, and asked, "Who are you?"

Xiao Xinrong directly ripped off the mask on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't come to the king, this king is the second prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, and I want to make a deal with the king today." ”

Seeing that there was no hostility towards the visitor, the tile thorn waved his hand, and the guard hiding in the dark quietly returned to his place, just holding the knife in his hand and listening to the movement in the room.

"I don't know what deal Prince Alcohol wants to do with this king when he comes late at night?" Xiao Xinrong's name, Tile Thorn has heard about it in several battle reports, and now he sees that Xiao Xinrong is only about twenty years old and dares to come late at night, and he secretly praises his courage in his heart!

Xiao Xinrong arched his hand and said straight to the point: "I have no choice but to come late at night, and I ask the king not to blame for the rudeness, this time I came here for the second prince Wagger." ”

Hearing this, Wager was suspicious in his heart, I don't know what Xiao Xinrong meant, Wager didn't listen to his orders this time and insisted on attacking the Great Xia Kingdom, and he was supported by some tribal leaders in the country, and now Xiao Xinrong came to mention Wager directly late at night, and Wager waited for him to continue.

Xiao Xinrong glanced at the tile spur when he said this, and saw that the tile spur's fat face had a playful look, and his eyes contracted obviously because he was interested in his topic, obviously waiting for himself to continue.

Xiao Xinrong continued: "I heard that Wagle and the king are at odds, and this king came today to reach an agreement with the king and remove Wagle for the king. ”

Hearing this, the face of the tile spur moved slightly, Xiao Xinrong originally had the idea, and said with a deep face: "Why did this king cooperate with you to kill the royal brother?"

Xiao Xinrong said: "The world knows that the mother of Wagle is strong, and the second lady is favored by the old king, although now the king is on the throne but has been sitting unstable, this time he is against the king's will to entangle the tribal leaders everywhere to lead troops to try to attack the ** plain, if he is allowed to win this time, the next step is to compete with the king, he has given birth to a heart of disobedience, this is to replace the king." ”

Xiao Xinrong didn't need to say these words, and the tile spur naturally understood it in his heart.

Xiao Xinrong saw that the tile thorn looked indistinguishable, but he did not interrupt his words and continued: "This king is willing to help the king get rid of Wager!"
