The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Beirong Royal City, Muhe Street.

The streets that were bustling during the day have now returned to silence. People from all over the country have returned to their homes to rest to the sound of the wind and sand.

Zhang Qian and the Zhenbei soldiers who guarded him were exceptions.

They are all summoned soldiers. Although they will be tired due to physical exertion, they can slowly recover as long as they sit and rest, without the need for forced sleep.

At this moment, under the candlelight, Zhang Qian was recording the contents of the negotiation from beginning to end, intending to take it back to Su Yuan for review.

After all, sometimes it is difficult to explain the whole problem by just looking at one result.

For example, in terms of the outcome of this negotiation, King Beirong finally compromised and was willing to give a lot of redemption. But there are also many details that can be recorded.

For example, the reluctance of several other princes during negotiations, the scolding of King Beirong to his eldest son, and even the fact that some of the king's wives cried while others looked on coldly when Guli Lie was in danger... Zhang Qian recorded all of these.

What use can it be put into if the guarantee is not complete?

He was writing furiously inside the house. Outside the house and in the yard, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were all sitting on the ground.

At this moment, someone suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with vigilance.

Immediately afterwards, other soldiers also raised their heads, apparently hearing something.

On the street, Hagen was leading nearly three hundred warriors close to the place where Zhang Qian lived. They walked lightly and cautiously for fear of waking up the enemy.

Little did they know, the Zhenbei Army had already heard the news.

In such a quiet night, how could it be normal with the sound of footsteps outside?

The soldiers informed Zhang Qian immediately, and Zhang Qian was shocked. Could it be that the King of Beirong broke his promise and did not keep his promise?

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right. If King Beirong wanted to kill him, why bother to do it now? Wouldn't it be easier to just call him to the royal court and kill him, that way there would be no need to kill the guards of the Zhenbei Army first.

There is something fishy.

At this time, footsteps outside the hospital were approaching, and a bright scimitar had even been one step ahead, probing into the courtyard!

"Defense yourself!" Zhang Qian roared, "Everyone shouted in unison and made noise!"

"Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!"

Hundreds of soldiers roared loudly at the same time, almost immediately waking up the residents in the entire street.

At the same time, many Beirong warriors outside the hospital who came to assassinate were frightened due to high mental stress. They heard a "ding, ding, clang", and several of them were so frightened that their weapons fell to the ground.

Hagen, who was commanding the operation, was in a panic. He didn't understand why the guards of the Northern Army were still awake in the middle of the night. But now that the arrow was on the string, he had to shoot it. He shouted: "Kill! Rush in and kill Zhang Qian!"

"kill!

!”

The Beirong warriors thought of the honor they would receive after their meritorious deeds, their eyes were bloodshot, and they rushed into the courtyard one after another.

However, what awaited them was a volley of crossbow arrows.

Immediately afterwards, soldiers from the Zhenbei Army rushed out of the courtyard in groups, forming a military formation.

Originally, if the enemy's situation was unknown, he should stay in the courtyard and not leave. However, Zhang Qian was worried that the enemy would set fire and he would be trapped inside and burned to death, so he immediately ordered the guards to rush out.

The crowd protected Zhang Qian in the center, while the soldiers on the periphery were engaged in close combat with the Beirong warriors, killing each other.

Although there were nearly twice as many Beirong warriors, twenty or thirty were killed and injured by the first round of crossbow arrows. In addition, the Zhenbei army was not afraid of death and showed no fear. This made the warriors known for their "braveness"

On the contrary, they became afraid.

The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the violent ones are afraid of the life-threatening ones. If these Beirong warriors are hard, violent, and even life-threatening... then summoning soldiers is equivalent to a higher level than life-threatening.

"I don't know what fate is".

They had no concept of "fear of death" at all, they just wanted to complete the mission. Now their mission was to protect Zhang Qian and kill the enemy, so they did that.

But facing such a group of soldiers, the numerically superior Beirong warriors were retreating steadily, with more than a hundred casualties in a short time.

Hagen stood behind, and everyone was confused when he saw this scene. He didn't know why these North-Suppression Army soldiers could fight two or three at once. He didn't even know why the people he brought with him were so frightened that they backed away.

He only knew that with such a big movement, someone from Wang Ting must have been sent over. If he didn't hurry up and kill Zhang Qian, he would have no chance!

"Damn it, forget about everyone else, go kill Zhang Qian! Kill Zhang Qian!"

Hagen shouted, urging the remaining warriors to press forward with all their strength, pushing aside the Zhenbei soldiers who were protecting Zhang Qian, and tried their best to kill Zhang Qian by annihilating them all.

But the warriors were already scared. No one was willing to risk their lives to push people away, so they were all retreating.

When Hagen saw this, a look of cruelty appeared on his face: "If I can't kill Zhang Qian, the king will punish you with death! I will punish your whole family with death!"

As soon as these words came out, the warriors couldn't care less about themselves. In order to prevent their families from being implicated, they had no choice but to squeeze through.

Hagen's threat worked. The Zhenbei army was forced to open an opening, and a dozen warriors rushed in through the opening and went straight to Zhang Qian.

There were three soldiers in front of Zhang Qian at this time, but he did not panic. Instead, he said loudly: "Don't be deceived! It is definitely not your king's order to kill me. You have been deceived! Put down your weapons now, and I will tell you

Your king begs for mercy on your behalf and spares your life. Otherwise, even if you kill me, your king will still execute you in anger!"

His words were clear and his voice was loud. When several of Hagen's warriors heard it, they seemed to make sense.

Just thinking about it, their movements slowed down.

This caused the squeezed opening to close again, and the dozen or so Beirong warriors who rushed in were chopped to the ground with a flurry of swords.

When Hagen saw this, he thought: It's over!

Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away. But before he could run a few steps, he bumped into a heavy object and fell to the ground.

"ah……!"

Looking up, he saw that what he bumped into was not an object, but a person.

This man's eyes were white, he had thick braids on his head, and he had several tattoos on his face. He looked as scary as a demon in the dark night.

"Where are you running?" the man said, and his big hands like cattail fans picked up Hagen like a chicken.

Hagen's heart felt cold. He knew that the man in front of him was Lai E, the captain of the king's personal guard. He could also be said to be one of the most terrifying people in Beirong.

Once caught by him, there is no way to escape.

"I, I... the king ordered me..."

Hagen was in a cold sweat and wanted to forcefully defend himself.

At this time, when the Hagen warriors he brought saw this man, their legs became weak, they dropped their weapons and fell to their knees on the ground.

"What did the king order you to do?"

"Fate, order me..."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we see the king." After Laiye finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Qian while holding Hagen.

"Messenger, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhang Qian took a deep breath and glanced at the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who fell on the ground. More than half of his hundreds of guards were dead or injured at this time!

"Although I was lucky enough not to be killed, I must give an explanation for this matter!"
