The moon is dark, the wind is high, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it’s a murderous night!
There are hundreds of people hiding in the woods a few miles outside the Nexiang Station. They are all dressed in black, with their heads wrapped in black cloth and their faces covered, exposing their eyes.
They were either squatting or sitting on the ground, carefully packing their weapons.
"Today is our last and best chance." The person who spoke also had his head and face covered, but judging from his voice, he knew it was Li Qingluan.
"If Zhao Shisan is allowed to return to Kaifeng City, the throne of the Song Kingdom will definitely belong to him. If he becomes an official of the Song Kingdom, it will be my nightmare in Daxia. He will never be allowed to return to Kaifeng City alive."
"My subordinates risked their lives and must kill Zhao Si to repay the emperor and the princess for their great kindness." A man in black replied with a loud voice.
"Okay! You are all elites selected from the Proton Army, the Guard Army, the Capture Army, and the Iron Kites. Each of you has eighteen or twenty Song people's lives in your hands. Tonight, you shoulder the responsibility of the national destiny of Daxia for a hundred years.
, I understand the rise and fall of the Gao Kingdom, and I will fight here! Please, everyone!"
Li Qingluan said sincerely.
"Swear to kill Zhao Si!"
After letting the man in black prepare, Li Qingluan went to another place and met an old subordinate.
"Fu Jen, thank you for your hard work on this trip!"
"If you return to the princess, serving the country is what a subordinate should do."
"Zhao Shisan is cunning and cunning. We are plotting against him, and he is plotting against us." Li Qingluan pulled off the scarf covering his face and looked up at the sky.
The night was pitch black, and I couldn't tell how many dark clouds were crowded in the sky. I could only occasionally see one or two faint lights flashing overhead, but they soon disappeared again.
I couldn't tell whether it was the stars in the night sky or the fireflies flying over the trees.
Li Furen couldn't see Li Qingluan's face clearly, but he could feel the despair and fear.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shisan, the Jian King of the Song Kingdom, traveled to the northwest and used four unexpected battles and four victories, beheading 90,000 people and capturing 130,000 people.
A deep sense of fear.
At that time, Duke Fan Wenzheng, Di Qing, Guo Kui, Wang Shao, and Zhang Kai did not make them so fearful. Because what these people would do, the kings and ministers of the Xia Kingdom could predict what they would do.
However, a series of actions by Jian Wang Zhao Shisan far exceeded their expectations, and even exceeded their imagination. People always have a deep fear of unknown things that are difficult to predict or imagine.
These thoughts flashed through Li Furen's mind, and he did not dare to say them out loud. He just whispered: "Don't worry, Princess, there are many people in Kaifeng City who don't want Zhao Shisan to go back. In the Nexiang Station, Zhao Shisan was closely accompanying him.
There are people out there who are willing to work with us."
Li Qingluan walked slowly without saying a word. Many people stood up and saluted her along the way. She waved and passed between them.
Li Furen remained silent and followed her until they reached the edge of the woods.
Looking into the distance, I saw only dots of lights, like clusters of fireflies.
"How big is the Nexiang Station?" Li Qingluan suddenly asked.
"Going back to the princess, the Nexiang Station is located on the east-west thoroughfare. It is a big station. There are three courtyards and more than forty rooms, all of which are occupied by Zhao Shisan and his party tonight."
Li Furen quickly replied.
"Zhao Shisan and his concubine Chaoxia Jun live in the third courtyard. In the second courtyard live the royal guards, that is, the Ba Dao team, a hundred people. In the first courtyard live more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion on duty.
.The people at the inn were all driven outside to live in utility rooms and shacks.”
"The nearest military camp of the Xiaoqi Camp is only a mile and a half away from the Xiangxiang Station. If there is any movement, thousands of people will surround it in half a quarter of an hour."
"Zhaoxia Jun," Li Qingluan murmured the name, not knowing what she was thinking. She turned her head and looked at Li Furen.
From the answer just now, Li Qingluan could hear Li Furen's disapproval and certainty of victory.
She can understand.
Li Furen was far away in Kaifeng City and had no personal experience in the northwest. Zhao conjured up a group of Suzaku Banner cavalry like magic, and then used unknown magic to drive these Tibetan cavalry to fight for him.
Just like the wind, you don't know where they will come from; like fire, anyone and anything that stands in their way will be burned to ashes.
If you have not experienced this with yourself, you will never understand the fear of being dominated by it.
Li Qingluan turned his head and looked at the Nexiang Station from a distance.
She knew that there were infinite murderous intentions hidden in these dots of lights. Just like a few days ago, a piece of good news came from the Huangzhong area that made the monarchs and ministers of the Xia Kingdom happy, but hidden underneath was Zhao Shisan's calm expression.
trap.
But Li Qingluan knew that no matter what, she must seize the opportunity to kill Zhao Si and not let him return to Kaifeng City.
The situation in Kaifeng City brought by Li Furen is very clear.
The only prince died in infancy, and the battered official family became increasingly weak. As long as he falls, no force can currently stop Zhao Si from ascending to the throne of the Song Dynasty emperor.
As a prince, with the help of the power of the five border roads, he beat the Xia Kingdom until it vomited blood. If he became the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the power he could muster was terrifying, and it would be a disaster for the Xia Kingdom.
We must kill this most dangerous enemy in the history of Xia Kingdom!
"What's the planned plan?" Li Qingluan asked.
"At the third watch, Xizuo will open the corner door on the left side of the third courtyard and let us in. We can go straight to the room where Zhao Shisan lives in the third courtyard and capture the thief first."
After listening to Li Furen's words, Li Qingluan pondered for a while and asked: "Are you sure Zhao Shisan lives in the third courtyard?"
"Princess Princess, the latest news I received at dusk is that Zhao Shisan does live in the east wing of the third courtyard. They were on their way in a hurry. They had dinner in the evening, ate in the courtyard and went to bed early. Five
Get up early, wash up, have breakfast, and set off at dawn."
Li Qingluan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Let's change the plan."
Li Furen was stunned, "Change the plan?"
His expression changed a few times, but finally he lowered his head and said, "I will listen to the princess' arrangements."
"We have two hundred warriors. They are all the bravest warriors in Xia Kingdom. One can be as good as ten. What we are most afraid of now is the ambush in the yard and the reinforcements from the Xiaoqi battalion. So we must fight quickly."
Li Qingluan slowly talked about his new plan.
"A hundred warriors attacked from the main entrance of the post station to attract the attention of the Song Dynasty. Fifty people came in from the side door according to the original plan. The other fifty people, on the other side of the third courtyard, broke through the wall and attacked Zhao.
Thirteen’s residence.”
Li Furen understood clearly that the first two might be cover, but the third was the real killer move. She didn't believe in those careful coordination.
"Princess, we originally have a small number of people. If we divide our troops again, I'm afraid..."
Li Qingluan didn't say anything, and Li Furen didn't dare to say anything more.
"Princess, the inn's internal officer sent a signal. Everything went well." Someone came to report.
"What time is it now?"
"Two updates."
"Wait a little longer, we'll start again at two or three quarters."
"yes."
A quarter of an hour before the third watch, two hundred elite Xia troops quietly entered the designated position outside the inn, ready to launch an attack at any time.
The third watch clapper sounded, and the corner door on the left side of the third entrance to the courtyard opened with a creak, revealing a sneaky figure.
Several figures emerged from the darkness and came forward to greet them.
After more than ten breaths, the figure sent a signal to this side, indicating that everything was normal.
Li Qingluan, who was hiding in the distance, watched all this silently.
Watching a hundred people moving towards the main entrance of the inn, when dozens of figures filed into the corner door, a sentry suddenly noticed something unusual, and then a huge shout of death broke out.
The Nexiang Station, which had been very silent just now, suddenly burst into flames like a firewood pile with a missing torch. There were shouts of killing and the sound of swords and guns clashing everywhere.
No! Li Qingluan quickly heard something unusual.
The camp of the Xiaoqi Battalion was too quiet. At this time, they should have been awakened from their sleep, hurriedly organizing their teams and running for reinforcements, instead of being so quiet.
Li Qingluan's expression changed and he turned to leave.
"Princess?" Li Furen asked without knowing what was going on.
"We fell into a trap. The area around the post station is too quiet, which means that the Song army has already set up a dragnet and is now outflanking it from all directions."
Li Qingluan replied while walking quickly.
Li Furen's expression changed and he left in a hurry.
A quarter of an hour later, the Nexiang Inn slowly returned to calm. In the east wing of the third courtyard, the door was broken, the window frame was broken, and corpses, knives, guns and arrows were everywhere.
In the innermost part, there lay a man, covered in blood and wearing a Zhula robe that could only be worn by high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty. This chapter has been completed!
