Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 989
As soon as Ye Chen's words came out, Hu Sanguang's heart was shocked, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, and quickly said yes respectfully.Bai Canghai didn't care at all, he just bowed calmly and said, "I obey the order."

At this time, more than 7 people have all left the Tubo camp, and with the help of the officers and soldiers of the Suzaku Legion, they are eating food provided by the army.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your life!" I don't know if that commoner suddenly saw Ye Chen's guard of honor from afar, opened his throat, and howled desperately. All the commoners stopped eating and turned their heads together. Looking at the golden Tianzilong flag in the distance, His Majesty the Great Emperor, who is already sitting on the horse and wearing a dragon robe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace of life!" Countless people shouted, the people at the front knelt down and kowtowed again and again, the people behind followed suit, fell down row by row, and kowtowed towards the banner. garlic.

Looking at the tears on the faces and the fanatical gratitude in the eyes of these disheveled people, Ye Chen couldn't help feeling deeply. These people are his own people, and they have suffered so much in the past month. In the final analysis, the torment and mutilation were caused by the dereliction of duty of the emperor himself.But now, I only saved their lives. Some of their relatives, their wealth, and their homes have all been reduced to fly ash, but these simple people are still very grateful.

Ye Chen rode forward, Hei Yue and Lian Jicheng were about to follow, Ye Chen waved them back, Ye Chen rode forward alone, dismounted and said: "Let everyone suffer, their homes will be destroyed, and relatives will be killed. It's my dereliction of duty, it's the court's dereliction of duty, it's our army's dereliction of duty!"

Ye Chen looked serious and solemn, and his voice was not loud, but it spread for several miles, and more than 7 people heard it clearly.

"I'm here, you're saved! Don't worry about your future, the imperial court will help you rebuild your home and help you find your lost relatives. I promise here that whoever dares to plunder or enslave you in the future will definitely let the army wipe them out."

"Long live Your Majesty!" More than 7 people were moved with tears in their eyes. They all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly. It was beyond their surprise that they came back alive. Now His Majesty promised to help them rebuild their homes. What could be happier than this? thing!I don't know who it was, but as soon as the words "long live" were uttered, there was a roar of long live like a tsunami, first from the common people, then from the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion and the Tianwei Legion.

Seeing this scene, Ying Cheng Lin Buchi couldn't help being shaken, and thought to himself: "This is the demeanor of a wise monarch who loves the people like a son in the legend."

Wu Shengjun's fortified city, the former Tubo Amdo's big mansion became Ye Chen's temporary residence.

In the living room, Ye Chen and Cao Wei were relatively silent.

Cao Wei is not only Ye Chen's friend, but also the eldest son of Cao Bin who has the grace of knowing him and saving his life.Therefore, even if he became an enemy now, Ye Chen didn't want to kill him.Perhaps when Zhao Pu and Cao Bin sent Cao Wei, they had already considered the worst outcome of this point, so they were willing to let Cao Wei join the Tubo army.

At the same time, Ye Chen is also very clear that it is absolutely impossible for Cao Wei to betray Song Dynasty and join Xiangfu Kingdom with Cao Wei's character.Therefore, Ye Chen didn't try to persuade him.

The silence between the two of them has lasted for an incense stick of time. In fact, since Cao Wei entered the hall, he has never said a word, but just ate food and drank heavily on his own.If a person does not want to speak, the conversation cannot proceed.

Cao Wei didn't speak, Ye Chen didn't say anything, just watched Cao Wei drinking, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, which reminded him of the happy days when Luo Yaoshun, Wang Chao, and Cao Wei were honest and honest, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling together .It's just that things are changing now, things are changing, and he has become the emperor of a country. Wang Chao has always felt guilty because he and his wife were controlled by Shangguan Bingyun to assassinate him, and almost killed him. Now that two years have passed, it has always been him The general under his command is his courtier, and to him more is the loyalty of the courtier to the emperor, because of the determination to die for Ye Chen because of guilt, but the brotherhood between the two is running out.And Luo Yaoshun and Cao Wei may still have a bit of brotherly friendship with him now, but in the face of the general trend of national hatred, loyalty and patriotism, the gap between Ye Chen and the two has been difficult to bridge.At this time, Cao Wei and him are silently caring for each other, which is a true portrayal.

Ye Chen still didn't kill Cao Wei in the end, and didn't keep him in Xiangfu Kingdom to lock him up or put him under house arrest. Ma Wentao and Hu Sanguang suggested that Ye Chen use Cao Wei as a bargaining chip to exchange some benefits with Song Kingdom, but Ye Chen didn't do it in the end. Adopted, but sent someone to send it out of the country and handed it over to Song State.

Standing on the gate tower of Minzhou city, Kong Lingwu remembered the secret letter jointly signed by Zhao Pu and Cao Bin asking him to send troops to meet the Tubo army according to the situation and help the latter escape from the Xiangfu army.Can't help but remain silent.As a frontier general of the Song Dynasty who has faced the Tubo people for many years, it is not uncommon for him to fight with the Tubo people every few years.Compared with the Tubo people, Xiangfu Kingdom had never fought with him, and the legendary Emperor Ye Chen of Xiangfu Kingdom who rebelled from the Song Dynasty had never met, but this did not prevent him from admiring Ye Chen. .Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he actually didn't want to help the Tibetans.Of course, at his level, he naturally understands that the Prime Minister and Cao Gong want to use the Tubo people to contain Xiangfu Kingdom, not to mention that he dare not disobey the orders of these two big brothers.However, Kong Lingwu also thought about it. If the Tubo people could escape to the vicinity of Minzhou, he would consider sending troops to support them.Otherwise, he won't care.

In the dark night, the westerly wind howled, and Minzhou, an important town on the border of Qinfeng Road, lay quietly between the sky and the earth like a monster.Zhong Sanhe, the deputy battalion commander of the Killer Battalion of the special brigade who had just returned from Duanmu Zhongshu in Hexi, was lying on the ground in black. The night in the northwest in September was already cold. The cold wind penetrated his clothes and attacked his flesh and blood. , These people only put on a thin layer of soft armor under their coats. After lurking in the night for such a long time, their bodies are a little stiff.

In front of the city wall is a moat about ten feet wide. If you want to climb up the city, you must first dive through the water in this bone-chilling night.Zhong Sanhe was lying on the ground, staring up at the wind lanterns hanging on the city gate. There were no guards in the city. Maybe the weather forced everyone to the city gate or the cave for hiding soldiers. went.Listening to the faint sound of clappers coming from the city, Zhong Sanhe lowered his voice, and said to Sun Lixing, the commander of the killer battalion beside him: "Battlemaster, it's the second watch, we have to do something."

Sun Lixing nodded, and said: "My lightness kung fu is the best. I will go there first, and you will follow after me. Remember, you must not make any noise when you get into the water."

Zhong Sanhe nodded, raised his hand slightly, and made a few gestures. Qiqi, a master of the killer battalion who was lying behind them, took out a small stick from his arms and put it in his mouth. In order to prevent the teeth from trembling and making noise after being shocked by the cold water after entering the water.

Sun Lixing wriggled forward on the ground like a water snake, his posture was weird, but his speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, Zhong Sanhe only saw Sun Lixing slipping into the water without a sound, stretching out his arms lightly. slippery, a waterline quickly expanded to the opposite bank.

Watching Sun Lixing come ashore, Zhong Sanhe silently issued an order, and the team members swam across the moat in groups of ten and stood against the wall.Looking up at the 20-meter-high city wall, everyone looked at Sun Lixing and Zhong Sanhe together.

Sun Lixing and Zhong Sanhe looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Sun Lixing stretched out a finger, nodded his nose, and motioned for him to come. Zhong Sanhe hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. Although Sun Lixing's martial arts were not as high as his, But Qinggong is better than him. With such a high city wall, the city wall is not slippery, and if you don't pay attention, you may be in danger of sinking into the river.What's more, Sun Lixing killed ordinary soldiers even faster than him.

Stretching out his hand to tighten his clothes, he pulled the hook rope tied around his waist. Sun Lixing drifted silently towards the city wall for a while, and found a corner of the city wall.Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his ten fingers, grabbed the cracks in the bricks, shrugged, and slowly climbed up.Hundreds of master assassins held their breath and watched nervously as Sun Lixing slowly climbed up inch by inch like a gecko.

It has been raining for the past few days, and the city wall was soaked by the rain, making it slippery. Although Sun Lixing's qinggong was superb, he still felt extremely hard. After halfway up the climb, his fingers were numb, and he almost lost consciousness. Standing on the foot, hold on tightly, let go of one hand, pull out a very sharp knife from your waist, and slowly go along the cracks of the bricks until the handle is gone, reach out and grab the handle, and then let go With the other hand, he flicked his fingers, moved his joints, and let out a sigh of relief. He must take a rest.The whole person is attached to the wall, and it is necessary to ensure that no sound is made, all relying on the strength of the fingers. At this time, if there is a strong wind blowing, it may blow him off.

After a little trimming, Sun Lixing began to climb up again, little by little, inch by inch, and finally, when Sun Lixing felt that he was about to be unable to support himself, he put his hand on the stacking plate, and with a sudden force, his whole body Turning over to the city, he quickly lay down on the ground, snaked to the blind corner of the light, and looked around vigilantly. There was no one on the city wall. It seems that Minzhou City has not fought for some time. The Sentinels are slack.

Untie the hook rope from the waist, hook it firmly on the pallet, and gently put the rope down.After a while, Zhong Sanhe dexterously climbed up along the hook rope, and put down the hook rope he was carrying.

In the middle of the night, two hundred masters of the assassin battalion went up to the city wall and squatted in the shadows above the city wall.
