The Mystery of Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 23 The Last Mission

The Tianxiong army stopped marching five miles below the city and began to set up camp.They came from a long-distance attack, they were exhausted, and they would not attack the city immediately. After seeing this, Li Hui felt a little more comfort in his heart. Seeing this posture, they could still delay for half a day.

The main tent of the Tianxiong Army is huge and can accommodate hundreds of people. Zhuo Rilang, the leader of the country, sat on a chair covered with white tiger skin, looking majestically at Tianqi standing below.A group of judges were kneeling at Zhuo Rilang's feet and singing praises.

"The great eagle flies higher than the mountains and farther than the sea. Lions and tigers lie at his feet, melting the snow on the plains and illuminating every citizen."

Over and over again, until Zhuo Rilang stretched out his hand, he knelt and retreated to the sides, and a lonely apocalypse flashed out.

Before Tianxiong's army besieged the city, Li Hui ordered Hongshi City to leave and not enter. Tianqi and Tianxiong's envoy took advantage of the chaos to leave and went to Tianxiong's army.

"You are the messenger of the Xia people?"

Young Master Tianqi bowed slightly: "Meet the King."

Zhuo Rilang didn't speak, but just stared at Tianqi, as if he wanted to see him through.The Tianxiong officials in the main tent were all prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Tian Qi was not afraid, his eyes responded to Zhuo Rilang's scrutiny, but he didn't dare to be careless in his heart.Zhuo Rilang is not easy. He inherited the position of Tianxiong at the age of ten, and personally killed all the auxiliary ministers at the age of 16. He has fought continuously for 14 years. The entire snowfield is prostrate at his feet, and he has the ability to fight against the Great Xia. .

After a secret contest, Zhuo Rilang's coercion receded like a tide, and Tian Qi's eyes softened a lot.

Zhuo Rilang smiled: "Young man, you are so brave. In the snowy field, no one dares to look at me like this."

Tian Qi knew that the other party was giving him a step down. Although he had broken through to the second level of the Profound Realm by force, Zhuo Rilang was Da Xia's biggest opponent. His long-term high position gave him a natural majesty, and he looked at him just now. , I feel that Zhuo Rilang's martial arts are not much better than his own.

"My lord, I have come here this time to discuss with you the matter of raising troops." Tian Qi didn't want to go around the corner any more. His master planned for many years, and during that time he got on the line of King Rong. Tian Yuandao paid a lot for this, and now he finally The key link is in the hands of the man in front of him.

Zhuo Rilang nodded, "Where is the ordnance you promised?"

This is the most important topic today, and Tianqi replied: "Weapons and armor that can equip 10 people are already in the canyon of the Red Stone East Mountain. The lord of the country can send someone to receive them."

Zhuo Rilang frowned, "It will take two days' journey, and the reinforcements from Xiji Prefecture and Jiannan Prefecture of Xia Kingdom will also arrive at that time, how can I get these things?"

"My lord, don't worry, the reinforcements from Jiannan Prefecture will be two days late, and you can send people to pick up weapons today."

Zhuo Rilang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, these Xia people are really powerful, they can actually affect the assembly time of Xia army.

"When do you want me to raise troops?"

Tian Qi said loudly: "At this time next year, please ask the Lord to raise the national army to launch a war in the direction of Xiji Prefecture and Jiannan Prefecture, and we will respond internally."

Zhuo Rilang laughed. These Xia people had been in contact with him five years ago. Although he didn't know what power they had in Xia Kingdom, Zhuo Rilang keenly felt that this was an opportunity for Tianxiong Kingdom, which was once in a thousand years. .

"Did Jae Wu tell you my conditions? After this is done, I want Xiji Prefecture and Jiannan Prefecture, and I want [-] women from your capital to marry me, Tianxiong Warrior."

Tianqi didn't respond positively, but just said that he would thank Zhuo Rilang with the greatest sincerity after the great event was accomplished.

Zhuo Rilang looked at Tianqi with eagle-like eyes, "I know you may renege on the debt, it's okay, if you don't give it, I will get it myself, and," Zhuo Rilang's expression suddenly became very ferocious, "Interest will be high."

Tian Qi was not afraid of Zhuo Rilang's threats: "That's between you and my master, but before that, I still have an important matter to report to the king."

Zhuo Rilang felt a little strange: "What's the big deal?"

Tianqi hesitated for a moment: "I can only tell the king about this matter."

The guards beside Zhuo Rilang stepped forward and scolded: "Presumptuous."

Tian Qi's expression was very serious, and Zhuo Rilang had to weigh the value of the news in his mouth.

"Come forward." Zhuo Rilang waved to Tianqi.

Tian Qi took a few steps forward, stepped on the steps, and whispered a few words beside Zhuo Rilang, Zhuo Rilang's eyes became cold and severe.

"Kuoda!" Following Zhuo Rilang's voice, one of the officials kneeling in the tent stepped out.

"You're actually a Xia country spy?"

The officer named Kuo Da sighed, as if he had been waiting for Zhuo Rilang's words for a long time.

"Yes, I'm the Xia Guoyuan Pavilion hidden stake."

Zhuo Rilang was very puzzled, there was no torture or threat, and he admitted it like that.

"My lord, you have directly stated my identity. You must have evidence that I can't justify. There is no point in my sophistry."

Kuo Da's words were obviously beyond Zhuo Rilang's expectation, and made Zhuo Rilang very hurt, yes, very hurt.

"Kuoda, you started following me ten years ago, how do I treat you?"

"The lord of the country has treated me with such kindness as a mountain. You did not dislike my status as a Xiji Tianxiong. You gave me an official post and even gave me a wife. I am extremely grateful."

"Then why did you betray me?"

Kuo Da sighed again: "I did not betray the lord, I am originally from Xia, and I was the candidate of Yuan Pavilion 20 years ago."

Zhuo Rilang laughed back angrily: "Okay, okay, Kuoda, you're fine." Zhuo Rilang laughed louder, while Kuoda looked at him calmly.

"You kill yourself, I don't want to torture you." Zhuo Rilang's words made the trembling other officers in the tent exclaim in a low voice.

Kuo Da was slightly taken aback, and smiled wryly: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness, but I can't commit suicide because I still have one last task." As soon as he finished speaking, Kuo Da's short figure seemed to suddenly jump a few inches higher, facing Zhuo Rilang attacked and killed him.

My last task is to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Lord Tianxiong.

There was chaos in the main tent, the guards were all far away, Kuo Da was about to reach Zhuo Rilang.

In the blink of an eye, Apocalypse made his move.With just one move, he stopped Kuo Da, and with another kick, he kicked Kuo Da out of the main tent.Zhuo Rilang looked at this Xia Guoren who had protected him, his martial strength was really high, Xia Guo's Profound Realm second rank made him see something extraordinary as soon as he made a move.

Tian Qi straightened his clothes expressionlessly, and stood under the stage. The guards dragged their breathless hair to Zhuo Rilang. Zhuo Rilang looked at the spy of Xia Kingdom, his face uncertain.

Kuoda squeezed out the last trace of a smile, his life was over, and his mission was also over.

Pavilion Master, Kuo Da did not complete the last task, so he left.

Zhuo Rilang looked like a wounded beast, cruel and lonely.

"Cut off his head and hang it on the gate of the camp, chop up his body and feed it to my falcons, bring his wife here to camp in rotation, and throw his children into the Xiangshan Mountain to dig for gold."

Damn Xia Guo spies.

"Beat the drums, attack the city, now."

The sound of war drums.
