Only tonight did Tang Ning realize what it means to travel around the world, to have many skills without weighing you down.
If you learn one more skill, you might be able to use it soon. Although Li Tianlan's martial arts skills are better than his, she is still slightly inferior to him in terms of her ability to sneak around and break into homes.
Even if she flies higher and farther, things like climbing over walls have a lot to do with technology and proficiency.
After Tang Ning rescued several people, she discovered that the middle-aged woman who knew the poison next to the second prince was very insidious. Some of them used poison, some used poison, and some used different poisons on the King of Zhou and several generals.
It took a lot of effort.
When they finally sneaked into the residence of the traitor general named Zhang Dayuan, they did not find him.
"You go back to the inn first." Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "Leave the rest to me."
She had already estimated the time just now and ordered the generals to send troops at Haishi to attack the Zhou Palace at night, hoping to catch the second prince and his entourage in one fell swoop.
Once the poison was cured and they no longer had any worries, the soldiers in Cangzhou City had no problem dealing with a mere hundred or so unprepared prairie barbarians.
Even so, he was still a little worried about her. Tangning shook her head and said, "I'll go with you."
The residence of the King of Zhou.
Half a month ago, King Zhou's mansion had been occupied by more than a hundred prairie people. All the servants in the palace had been replaced, and King Zhou had become a puppet.
The courtyard where King Zhou is located is guarded inside and outside the courtyard. No one, including King Zhou, is allowed to enter or exit at will.
In a certain room in Zhou Wang's Mansion.
A burly man forced a smile on his face, looked at the second prince, and said: "Second prince, the imperial army will arrive soon, plus the garrison from the neighboring states, with our strength, there is no way to fight them.
To counteract this, the second prince should consider a way to escape earlier."
The second prince looked at him, with a smile on his face, and said, "General Zhang is quite thoughtful."
The man immediately cupped his hands and said: "Since Zhang has surrendered to the second prince, he naturally has to think about the second prince."
The second prince glanced at him and said, "Go back first and watch your people carefully so that they don't cause any trouble again."
"Second Prince, don't worry, my subordinates will take good care of them." The man looked at him, bowed and said, "My subordinates, please leave."
The second prince waved his folding fan and watched him go out with a smile on his lips.
He had no idea what would happen to the rebels in these five states. As long as Chu State was in chaos, it would be of great benefit to the grassland.
The Han people have a saying: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Chen and Chu secretly supported the Jiagu and Shuhu tribes, disrupting the grassland pattern and hindering the unification of the Wanyan tribe. This was just retaliation.
Just a report.
By the time the Chu army approached the city, they had already retreated, leaving the mess to themselves.
As soon as he thought of this, he was about to close the door and take a rest, when suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the courtyard.
A figure rushed in and said in a panic: "Second Prince, it's not good, there are many soldiers and horses outside, we are surrounded!"
The second prince turned back sharply and said sternly: "What did you say?"
At this moment, the middle-aged woman also walked in and said, "For some reason, several of the garrison generals in the city rebelled and led their men to surround the palace."
The second prince's expression darkened and he asked, "Aren't they afraid of the poisonous insects in their bodies?"
The middle-aged woman said: "I'll go take a look."
In the courtyard, the man had not left yet. He was startled when he heard this, and then immediately said: "I'll go out and take a look first!"
At this moment, there was a chaos in Prince Zhou's palace. Someone ran over quickly and said in a panic: "Second Prince, King Zhou, King Zhou is missing!"
"What?" The second prince's expression changed again and he asked, "Where else can he go?"
The man said: "We went in to check. There is a secret passage under the bed in King Zhou's room. I don't know where it leads."
The second prince could no longer remain calm and threw the folding fan in his hand to the ground, his face extremely gloomy.
Someone stepped forward and said urgently: "Second Prince, let's escort you out first."
"Let's go!" the second prince said in a deep voice and hurriedly walked towards the backyard.
Sooner or later, the Chu imperial army will arrive, and they are well prepared. As long as they can escape from the palace, they will be able to escape unscathed.
The entrance to Prince Zhou's Mansion.
Countless soldiers held torches, and rows of archers stood ready.
King Zhou hid behind the archers and looked at a centipede still wriggling on the ground, and couldn't help but vomit.
After vomiting for a while, he cupped his hands to Tang Ning and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving me."
This King of Zhou also had many tricks and was able to escape from the palace on his own. Tang Ning waved her hand casually and looked forward again.
The door of Prince Zhou's Mansion was closed tightly. A head poked out from the wall, looked at the young general at the front, and said loudly: "Xu Ling, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"
call out!
What responded to him was the young general raising his hand and shooting an arrow.
The man fell from the wall. The middle-aged woman stood under the wall, looked outside the wall, took out a piccolo from her sleeve, put it to her mouth and started playing.
The sound of the flute was suddenly fast and slow, high and low. The man fell to the ground, with veins popping out on his forehead and neck. Something seemed to be rising and falling under his skin. He was holding his head and wailing.
The middle-aged woman leaned against the wall and quickly looked outside. When she saw that there was nothing unusual about the generals in front of her, her expression suddenly changed.
"Their poison has been removed!" She said in great shock, retreating sharply, and soon disappeared into the darkness. This time they were able to control Cangzhou, and the only thing they relied on was the poisonous poison. Without this deterrent,
There was only one way to escape.
Outside the door, a young general named Xu Ling waved his hand and said: "Bash the door and capture all the grassland people in the palace. If there is resistance, kill them without mercy!"
He gave an order, and a dozen people hugged a thick piece of wood and slammed the gate of the palace with all their strength.
"You, what are you doing..." Wan Yanyan's voice came from behind Tang Ning.
He turned his head, looked at Butcher Zheng and Wan Yanyan who were walking over, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Butcher Zheng looked at Yan Yan and said, "She wanted to come out and have a look, so I brought her here."
Tang Ning looked at the pale Wan Yanyan, looked at Butcher Zheng, and asked, "Why didn't you stop her?"
Butcher Zheng looked at him and asked, "Did you say you wouldn't let her run out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the palace collapsed with a "bang", and the archers rushed in first. Tangning stood outside and could hear the screams and curses inside.
Most of the angry curses were in prairie dialect.
Wanyanyan stood there, her face pale and her body trembling. Tangning stood behind her and did not comfort her.
The second prince and what they have done have touched the bottom line of Chu State, and there is almost no room for recovery. The soldiers of Cangzhou will fight them to the death.
This is war.
The surrounding area of Prince Zhou's Mansion has been surrounded by people. There are only about a hundred of them, so the possibility of breaking out is slim.
There was soon no movement inside the gate. Wanyan Yan quickly ran in and looked at the corpses lying on the ground inside. She stood there as if she had been struck by lightning.
The Cangzhou defenders were merciless to the grassland people in the palace. The archers rushed in and fired arrows directly. More than ten grassland people were not even able to hinder them for a moment. They were all shot into hedgehogs and died on the spot.
Wanyanyan knelt down and shook a man vigorously. With tears in her eyes, she said loudly: "Ulu, Ulu!"
The man spit out blood and said with difficulty: "Princess, hurry up, hurry up!"
He only said this, his head tilted to one side, and he was silent again.
Wan Yanyan fell to the ground. When she saw Tang Ning walking in, she immediately stood up, shook his arm and said, "Stop, make them stop!"
Tang Ning looked at Wan Yanyan with tears streaming down her face, shook her head and said, "There's no way they can stop."
Once a war starts, how can it stop before one side surrenders or dies?
He regretted bringing Wanyan Yan here and letting her stay in the army so that she wouldn't have to see this scene with her own eyes.
Wan Yanyan's body trembled, she raised her head, looked at him deeply, turned around, and ran quickly into the palace.
