Yuan Lang's words shocked everyone. They remembered that the maid usually had a sweet temper and did not look like a waiter at all, but no one expected that she would collude with the Xixia people.
The spy was around, and they were all confused by the woman's appearance.
"Crack!"
Cui Da had an impatient temper. When he heard that it was Jiang Ru who had put them in trouble, he slapped his hand on the stone with murderous intent in his eyes.
"When I get out, I will cut that little bitch into pieces and avenge Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi!"
"Including me, our brother was killed so miserably, and she must pay for it with her life!"
Why don't you beat a woman? In front of the spies, they want to drag her to death.
Yuan Lang naturally hated her too, but he hated himself even more for being so soft-hearted. If she hadn't deceived him that day and arrested him, she might have been able to find out the man's identity and whereabouts, and there wouldn't have been such heavy casualties as now.
"Brother Yuan, we have to get out quickly. Xiaoba is the only one left watching in Huquan Temple. If the spy informs others again, both Mrs. Jiang and Xiaoba will be in danger!"
"Yeah." Yuan Lang naturally understood the anxiety of his brothers. He looked outside through the cracks in the rocks. The enemy soldiers hammered and smashed the rocks blocking the entrance of the cave, but to no avail.
Yuan Lang felt a little relieved.
"I'm resting where I am today, now I'm competing with the Xixia people to see who can survive!"
They had no shortage of food and no wind in the cave, so they were able to recover from their injuries.
But the Xixia army outside was having a hard time.
It was already a snowy day, and the night was very cold. All of them had injuries of various sizes, which were red and swollen from the cold without treatment. Moreover, the mountains were covered with snow, and they couldn't even find firewood. They just had to
Can be frozen.
"Sir, it's too cold outside and our people can't stand it."
"Yes, sir, many brothers have already developed fever. We didn't bring any medicinal materials. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tomorrow."
Everyone had a lot of complaints against the leader. Although there were more people than Dayan, Yuan Lang and the others still ran away. They proposed to invite reinforcements, but the leader refused.
It's not that he can't lose face, but he's afraid that his master will blame him for not doing things well.
But isn't it the life of brothers? If you stay in the cold all night, your body will get cold.
The crowd was so excited that they even wanted to give up and leave. The people in the cave leaned against the cracks and listened to the jokes outside.
"Brother Yuan, I guess they can't defeat us. This barbarian is so disloyal..."
"It's better if it doesn't last. Do you still want to fight them?"
"What's wrong? I can't use all my strength. But there are so many of them. It would be too uncomfortable for me to die here. If you want to fight, just go to the battlefield and fight!"
"Tch, I'm not afraid yet..."
When Xixia was in chaos, Dayan became much more relaxed, and the soldiers even made jokes and jokes.
Yuan Lang was concerned about food and grass, and his frown could not be relieved.
It would be great if the Xixia people could really leave as soon as possible.
He is not afraid of death in battle, but thousands of soldiers at the border are still waiting for life-saving food, so he must fulfill his role as a general.
The people of Xixia stayed up all night and were indeed killed and injured by the cold. Even the subordinates around the leader began to have fever. He knew that this was not going to work. If he continued to waste away, he would be wiped out by Dayan's people.
"Send someone to call for reinforcements."
"yes!"
Even if he tried to save his face, he still had to ask his master to send more people, otherwise their previous sacrifices would be in vain.
The person who delivered the letter quickly left, and the faces of the people at the entrance of the cave were solemn.
"Brother Yuan, we have to rush out before reinforcements from Xixia arrive, otherwise we will only die."
"Well, wait a minute."
Xixia's reinforcements are not coming so quickly. He will now let the people outside suffer more frostbite, and then take the opportunity to kill out.
However, these people did not know at this time that the Xixia military camp was already in chaos.
Without him, Tuoba Mingge's mother-in-law, the third princess, was arrested.
When the news came, Tuoba Mingge was about to go to Huquan Temple again, but when he saw the guards beside his father, Tuoba Mingge stopped in his tracks.
"Why are you here? But there is something wrong in the royal city?"
The guard was also from the Di family and was Di Biao's uncle, and he was the most respected by the King of Xixia.
Ditu had a stern face. He was loyal to the king, but because his nephew was a close confidant of Tuoba Mingge, he had some reservations about the fifth prince.
"The third princess found witchcraft in her room and wanted to harm the king. Now she has been imprisoned in the cold palace. The king sent his subordinates to call the fifth prince back."
It's called calling, but actually it also involves imprisonment.
Tuoba Mingge's pupils trembled, and his calm expression was cracked.
"Witch Gu? How could it be possible! The mother and concubine must have been framed!"
The King of Xixia had ten sons, and the three princesses were of ordinary origins, with the queen and the noble concubine above them. Before Tuoba Mingge grew up, she had been lost to everyone.
Now that all the princes have grown up, the struggle for power has turned from the dark side to the bright side. The third princess is used to being cautious. When he heard that she used witchcraft to kill the king, Tuoba Mingge's first reaction was not to believe it.
This must be a scam!
But Ditu stood here with a sullen face, leaving no room for negotiation. Tuoba Mingge felt resentful in his heart, but had to go back with him.
The royal city is not far from the border, and it only takes a few days to get back and forth. Tuoba Mingge is worried about his mother and concubine, and wants to see who is plotting against him behind this.
It's just that he finally caught Jiang Zhe. As long as he robs Dayan's food and grass, Jiang Zhe will definitely be severely damaged this time, and half of Dayan's city will fall into his pocket.
Tuoba Mingge is very ambitious and will never let go of this opportunity.
He calmed down and said to Ditu.
"I will give my men a few words and then go back with General Di. Please wait a moment."
"Um."
Naturally, Ditu would not respond. The fifth prince was expected to succeed. Even if the third princess was in trouble now, he felt that the fifth prince would have a way to break the situation.
The matter of robbing the grain and grass was his secret. Tuoba Mingge had arranged for all his cronies. The people he sent yesterday never came back. He was afraid that something went wrong, so he called Di Biao and asked him to go to Chilan Mountain in person.
And he returned to the royal city with Ditu.
In the capital, Jiang Miao received a letter from the secret guard Fei Ge. Lu Yuanshan's secret guards were all over the world, and even the Xixia royal family had been deployed.
Not only was Tuoba Mingge concerned about food and grass, Jiang Miao was also concerned about it.
Half a month ago, she had a nightmare, dreaming that the food and grass were robbed by the Xixia people, the soldiers at the border gates starved to death, the military camps were looted by the Xixia people, the cities at the border gates were also captured by the Xixia people, and there was unprecedented turmoil in Dayan.
When she woke up, she broke out in a cold sweat. Regardless of whether this dream was a warning, Jiang Miao took it to heart.
Lu Yuanshan and Shen Yanqing trained several secret guards together. Jiang Miao thought of a plot in the original book. There was a witchcraft disaster in the Xixia royal family, and she used a trick to make it happen in advance.
