Jiaohua

What Xia Zhaoyi whispered in Xia Junnan's ear was to ask Xia Junnan to pick out the children under ten years old and the elderly over fifty-five years old among these Northern Yuan people, choose a road to Shangtai Yu Palace, and after arriving there, deliberately create loopholes to allow some of them to escape.

She needed to rely on these people's mouths to spread the false marching route of the Xia family army, as well as some negative news for the Northern Yuan people.

The temporary palace was the one Xia Zhaoxue mentioned just now. It was said that the palace was built for two years and Shang Taiyu officially moved in last year. Although he was not a permanent resident, he would come here often.

Xia Zhaoxue felt that this palace was like a bait released by Shang Taiyu to lure Zhitu's assassins, because too many Zhitu people went to this palace to assassinate Shang Taiyu and died tragically there.

After the troops were assembled and the supplies were loaded onto the vehicles, Xia Zhaoyi led his troops out of Qingquan Town.

Xia Junnan took five hundred elite soldiers and these young and old soldiers and set off for the palace.

Xia Zhaoyi divided the team into three parts.

She led the main force to explore and sweep the front, Xia Xingming and Jian Jun controlled the entire transport team, and Xia Chuan led 500 elite soldiers as auxiliary troops to respond to changes in circumstances.

Lin Wuniang did not follow Liang Dechang and his men to Zhitu. Instead, she chose to follow Xia Zhaoyi's troops south.

Because she was sick, she was placed in a carriage picked up in Qingquan Town. Xia Zhaoyi specially checked her injuries when the army was preparing to set off.

In addition to the palm strike from Mr. Mo, she also had many wounds of varying depths on her body.

It was obvious that Lin Wumei didn't want to talk about these injuries, so Xia Zhaoyi didn't ask any more questions.

Now, Lin Wumei was leaning against the carriage. Mr. Mo's injured shoulder was hung up by Xia Zhaoyi using a wooden board and cotton cloth. She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, but she could only grit her teeth and bear it.

The palace Xia Junnan was going to was very close to Qingquan Town, only about 20 miles away. On the way there, most of the people on the road had heard the news and ran away. When Xia Junnan encountered a few who had not yet left, he showed no mercy and killed them all.

Xia Junnan's cold-blooded cruelty frightened the captives.

Several soldiers of the Xia Army were also frightened. They chatted secretly, claiming that they were all new recruits and regretted coming to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They also whispered that anyone should be disgusted by what the Xia Army did, which was too bloody and terrifying.

Many businessmen in Qingquan Town can speak Chinese. When they heard these words, they pretended not to understand.

As these kind-hearted recruits grumbled and grumbled, they were getting closer and closer to the palace. Xia Junnan felt that the time was right and ordered them to rest for a while. Then, these recruits secretly went over and let some people go because they couldn't bear it and didn't want to kill again.

Xia Junnan arrived late and was furious when he arrived. He drew his sword and killed the soldiers on the spot, performing a heartfelt self-torture trick in front of the Northern Yuan merchants who had run away.

At this time, Shang Taiyu's palace was already in chaos.

The servants rushed to pack up. Princess Chiyu ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, but she still felt it was impossible. She questioned the last few people who came back to report the news: "The Xia family army doesn't have that many people. Are you scared?"

"No, princess, there are at least three thousand people, there must be that many!"

"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes. There were more than a thousand people, definitely several thousand! As soon as they arrived at Qingquan Town, they started to massacre the whole town!"

Princess Chiyu murmured, "Massacre the city..."

An aunt stepped forward and said, "Princess, could it be that the prince's intelligence is wrong? Or, has the Xia family army recruited other soldiers in Zhitu? After all... they came out of the Golden Moon Divine Mountain."

These words made Princess Chiyu even more breathless.

That is the Golden Moon Mountain, the prince’s unique winning skill!

Princess Chiyu shook her head and said, "Why would the Xia army come out from there? If they had explored the way, they would have been trapped by the trap. Our people would have found out! How could they have come out right after hearing the trap? Didn't they explore the way?"

The aunt said, "Princess, haven't you checked that Ah Li? She and Xia Zhaoyi are not only sisters, but also have the same master. Xia Zhaoyi has been climbing mountains and wading through the wilds since she was a child, and the wilds are as plain as land to her. Could Ah Li also have this ability? In addition, Xia Zhaoyi is also proficient in mechanical techniques, so Ah Li should be able to do it too." Princess Chiyu has always been a high-spirited and confident person, but after hearing this, she looked at the aunt blankly: "Yes, she is Xia Zhaoyi's master, that is, Xia Zhaoyi."

Xia Zhaoyi's reputation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty was so loud that he was like a legend.

Yi Shurong was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. However, when he found out that Xia Zhaoxue's body was actually Xia Zhaoyi, he was filled with remorse and shock. Even though Xia Zhaoyi had destroyed all his military deployments, he still buried Xia Zhaoyi with the grand funeral of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at Qingmei Ridge in the north mountain of the Unyielding River.

The Daqian court sent envoys to contact Yi Shurong more than once, hoping to take back Xia Zhaoyi's body, but Yi Shurong refused.

During this period, Qingmeiling was frequently invaded, and people often came to steal the coffin. Yi Shurong fended off one group after another, but in the end, Qingmeiling was still burned thoroughly by a fire, and Xia Zhaoyi's coffin was destroyed and his body was stolen.

To determine whether a person is legendary or not, apart from his life, we must also look at what happened to him after his death.

Xia Zhaoyi was the one who, even after his death, could keep the conflict going for years.

Thinking of this, Chiyu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "If Ah Li can also predict the enemy's moves, calculate, and observe the celestial phenomena, and she also has a pair of magical hands that can rejuvenate, then it will be really difficult to deal with. We must ask the prince to dispatch troops as soon as possible to surround and annihilate her. If she runs back to Zhitu from the Golden Moon Divine Mountain, then we must block this road to prevent her from coming again next time."

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic: "Princess! The Xia family's army is coming! They are five miles ahead!"

Everyone except Akadama was shocked.

"Princess! Let's go!"

"Yes, Princess. There are less than 300 people in the palace. We are no match for them. Princess, you must leave as soon as possible!"

Chiyu gritted her teeth. It’s not that she wasn’t afraid, but she couldn’t show her cowardice because she was the princess.

Chiyu sat elegantly and said coldly, "Pass my order. Let the brothers Keboer and Shivada be prepared to sacrifice themselves. Set up an ambush here and wait for the opportunity to strike and kill Ali as quickly as possible. Their families will receive 100 taels of gold, and their bodies will be buried on the top of Avila Mountain as fearless warriors."

My aunt responded, "Yes."

Chiyu then stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Long after Chi Yu left, the Xia family army, five miles away from the palace, had not yet appeared.

It was not until two hours later that the Xia family army finally arrived.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Xia Junnan was circling around and almost trapped himself, but this was also Xia Zhaoyi's order.

When they arrived at the palace, the deputy general looked at the empty palace gate and said, "General, judging from the situation, most people should have left."

Xia Junnan said, "No, the second lady said that according to the character of the Beiyuan people, they would definitely leave a few fearless assassins here to carry out assassinations."

"So, are they here now?"

"We have to seduce him," Xia Junnan said, looking around, "seduce him out, kill him and hang him here."

"Well, we have to act again."

"Let's do the latter part first," Xia Junnan smiled and patted the deputy general on the shoulder. "Go ahead. You don't have to be nice to them. Be as mean as you can and ridicule them to death."

The deputy general sighed: "Yes, as you command!" (End of this chapter)
