Lingshuang looked at Tang Yin in confusion and asked, "What does Brother Wang plan to use to persuade Li Dan?"
Tang Yin smiled and said without further explanation: "In the future, Sister Wang will know that I must go to this trip to West Tang. Sister Wang does not need to persuade me anymore."
Seeing him smiling confidently and confidently, Lingshuang really couldn't figure out what trump card he had in his hand.
However, Tang Yin's confidence also made Lingshuang somewhat relieved. Her beautiful eyebrows were still tightly knitted, but she no longer blocked her.
Tang Yin persuaded Lingshuang, and as for Yue Ze and Li Xin, their opinions were no longer important. Next, Tang Yin ordered the camp to be set up as soon as possible, and sentries were set up inside and outside to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp again.
In addition, he sent spies from the Sky Eye and the Diwang to investigate the back roads of his side to see if there were any Zhen Army activities. The enemy could not appear behind his camp for no reason. If the estimate was correct, this should be Zhao
The purpose of the ambush arranged in advance is not necessarily to sneak attack on one's own camp. It is likely that the Zhen army intends to arrange for this Zhen army to sneak attack on one's own logistics and cut off one's supply route. It is always a mystery to have such a Zhen army sneaking up behind one's side.
Hidden dangers must be resolved as soon as possible.
Because the tents of the coalition forces were seriously damaged, Tang Yin ordered all armies to give priority to the tents set up by the wounded soldiers. As for the soldiers who did not have tents to live in, they all slept in the open air.
Fortunately, Zhendi is dry, the weather is hot, and there is little rain. Even if the ground is used as a collapse and the sky is used as a blanket, the impact on the soldiers will not be great.
Then, he arranged for personnel to transfer all his seriously wounded soldiers to the rear. The seriously wounded soldiers were all soldiers whose lives were in danger, had difficulty moving, and could not regain their combat strength in a short period of time. There was now a shortage of food in the army, and there was a series of fierce battles ahead.
Fighting with so many seriously wounded soldiers was always a drag. At the same time, Tang Yin placed "Gu Anmin" among the seriously wounded soldiers and sent him away together.
If 'Gu Anmin' doesn't leave, Tang Yin won't be able to take back his shadow clone. He doesn't have the guts to go to Xitang and go deep into danger without being able to use his spiritual weapon.
Tang Yin's orders were issued quickly and coherently, and all arrangements were completed in one breath. The coalition forces moved up and down in unison, and they behaved vigorously and resolutely.
Late that night, Kong Qing left the coalition camp, put on civilian clothes, and secretly went to Xitang with only two close confidants and a spy with clairvoyance.
In the past, there was no curfew in the capital of Zhenguo, and the city gates were kept wide open even at night. But now that the coalition forces have approached Xitang, Zhenguo has no choice but to implement a curfew. As soon as it gets dark, the city gates of the four cities are closed.
All closed.
Outside the city of Xitang is not a flat plain. After all, this is the capital, the political and economic center of the Zheng Kingdom. It is prosperous and lively. There is an open space more than five meters wide outside the city wall. Outside the open space is a moat nearly three feet wide. Beyond that,
There are residential houses as far as the eye can see, mixed with numerous shops, restaurants, teahouses and inns. If statistics are taken carefully, the number of permanent residents outside Xitang City alone is estimated to be no less than 300,000 to 400,000.
Of course, it is impossible for people with noble birth or some wealth in Zhenguo to live outside the city. This place is equivalent to the slums of Xitang. The scale of the buildings cannot be compared with those in the city. Looking at it, most of them are dilapidated and crumbling old buildings.
The houses, even the shops, and restaurants looked very simple, and the overall environment was dilapidated, old, dirty, and messy.
Kong Qing did have his connections and connections. After arriving at the "slums" of Xitang, he hid the horses first and then went to a teahouse with two confidants and spies with clairvoyance.
Although it is a teahouse, it is just a one-story thatched house that occupies a large area and has its own courtyard at the back.
It was already around nine o'clock in the morning when they arrived, the sky was already bright, and the teahouse had not opened yet. Kong Qing first went around to the back door of the teahouse, then looked left and right, and found nothing unusual, and then started knocking on the door.
Apparently the owner of the teahouse was still asleep. He knocked for a long time before there was any movement inside, and at the same time a hoarse and indignant curse could be heard.
Following the footsteps of Zhuo La, Zhuo La, the back door was opened, and a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man walked out from inside.
This man was full of curses, but when he saw clearly that the person coming was Kong Qing, he immediately stopped cursing, widened his eyes, and blurted out in shock and horror: "General...general..."
"Well! Let's talk after we go into the house!" Kong Qingyang lowered his head and pulled the middle-aged man into the courtyard before he could react. His two confidants and the spy with the Sky Eye immediately followed in and opened the door at the same time.
Close it well.
It wasn't until everyone entered the courtyard for a while that the middle-aged man came back to his senses and said nervously with a solemn face: "Why did the general suddenly return to the capital? Doesn't the general know that the court has now spent a lot of money to arrest the general?"
Kong Qing followed Gu Anmin and defected to the coalition forces, which shocked the Zhenguo court. Li Hong was so angry that he personally issued a reward order, offering 10,000 gold for Gu Anmin's head and 5,000 gold for Kong Qing's head.
This middle-aged man's name was Di You. He was a ranger and was an old subordinate of Kong Qing. He had been saved by Kong Qing. Later, he was injured and retired from the army, so he opened a teahouse outside Xitang City.
Selling tea is just a cover, and he secretly runs a business of reselling information. Most of the information involved is about the ranger world, but it is true that he is well-informed and has extensive connections.
"I know." Kong Qing nodded, and then asked: "How is the situation at my family now?"
"They have all been sealed. If it hadn't been for the crown prince's protection, none of the general and General Gu's family members would have survived... Sigh!"
Di You sighed heavily. He really couldn't understand why the general he had always respected suddenly defected to the enemy, but it was hard to ask him directly.
Kong Qing knew what he was thinking now, but he didn't have time to explain to him, so he whispered: "Di You, I need your help this time!"
Di You straightened his face, raised his hands and said: "The villain's life is given by the general. No matter what the general asks the villain to do, the villain will never give up!"
Kong Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not something that is detrimental to my Da Zhen." After a pause, he narrowed his eyes, leaned into Di You's ear, lowered his voice, and said, "I want you.
Help me send someone into the city!"
"who?"
"Wind King!"
Huh? Di You's eyes widened and he wondered if his ears had heard wrongly. He wanted to send the Wind King into the West Tang. This... this was simply too crazy. He felt that it was not just the little boy who said that Kong Qing was crazy.
, and even wondered if Feng Wang Tang Yin was also crazy.
Seeing that he was stunned and speechless for a long time, Kong Qing asked with deep eyes: "What? You don't dare to do it? If so, I will leave now and find someone else, but you must not make this matter public.
This is related to the life and death of our country!"
As he spoke, Kong Qing turned around and was about to walk out. Di You was shocked, and hurriedly caught up with Kong Qing, blocking his way, and said sternly: "The general is not only kind to the villain, but also kind to save his life. The villain's
The general's life has long been his. To work for the general, even if he goes to the mountain of knives, falls into the sea of fire, and is shattered to pieces, the villain will have no problem..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door of the main room behind him open, and a young woman wearing only light clothes came out and asked sleepily: "Brother Di, why don't you go back to your room? What's wrong so early?"
"
While talking, the young woman felt strange when she saw Kong Qing and others. She was stunned and asked: "Brother Di, are they..."
Di You squinted his eyes and lowered his gaze. He saw Kong Qing wearing a sword at his waist. He suddenly took out Kong Qing's sword, then turned around and strode towards the young woman. The latter had not yet reacted.
What happened? Di You raised his sword and cut the young woman to the ground with one strike.
Kong Qing was shocked by this sudden change. His confidants and the Sky Eye spies put their hands on the weapons on their waists at the same time. After killing the woman, Diyu came back with the sword and wiped it with his own clothes.
Then he held the sword with both hands and handed it back to Kong Qing politely. At the same time, he said with scarlet eyes: "General, she is the villain's wife. The villain is now alone, has no worries, and is no longer afraid of life and death.
, the general should be able to trust the villain, right?!"
This is a chaste person. In order to make his oath clear, he will not hesitate to kill the people closest to him to prove his determination.
Kong Qing was also moved by this. He took the sword, returned it to its sheath, patted Di You on the shoulder, and said quietly: "You are indeed my brother Kong Qing! I will leave it to you to send His Royal Highness the Wind King into the city.
Got it!"
"General, don't worry! I will do my best to complete the tasks entrusted by the general!"
Kong Qing nodded, then turned around and winked at the Sky Eye spy behind him, indicating that he could send a message back to the camp to inform King Feng.
The celestial eye spy secretly sighed and murmured in his heart: Zhenren is really strong! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable.
He quickly took out the prepared note, tied it to the carrier pigeon, and then released the carrier pigeon.
Soon, Tang Yin, who was in the coalition camp outside Huaning City, received the information sent back by the Sky Eye spies, which basically said: The matter has been done, please go quickly.
With the reply from the Sky Eye spy, Tang Yin no longer delayed, put on his casual clothes, took Shangguan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and a dozen elite secret arrows, quietly left the camp on a fast horse, bypassed Hua Ning, and headed west quickly
, go to Nishitang.
Huaning is the acropolis of Xitang, so it is naturally not far from Xitang. Tang Yin and his party set out in the morning and arrived outside Xitang City before noon.
The Tianyan spies and Kong Qing's confidants had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Tang Yin and others arriving, they immediately rushed forward and took Tang Yin and his entourage to the teahouse opened by Di You.
