The rise of the prince

Chapter 443 The Shadow of Xixia

On the top of the mountain, the wind was blowing white snow, and the chill was overwhelming. The black leopard was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard something wrong, and asked the little girl again: "What did you say? Say it again."

"My master is the third-rank loyal and brave general of the Western Xia Kingdom!" The little girl puffed up her chest and said seriously, her tone very proud.

Hei Baozi held back his laughter, and turned back to Old Heitou: "Old Hei, we are all rough people, tell us, what kind of official is this Zhongyong General?"

Seeing the crowd looking over, the old black head stood up seriously: "Boss, old man, I have studied for a few years. This loyal and brave general of the Xixia Kingdom, like our champion general of the Jing Kingdom, is a senior official of the third rank. He is better than the magistrate." Not too bad. Jingguo’s champion general is Jiangzhou’s Pingnan King, a fool who sweeps the streets every day, so it seems that the loyal and brave generals of Xixia Kingdom are the same, most likely they specialize in sweeping the streets, hahaha!”

After the old black head finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and the black panther also laughed heartily.

The little girl realized that she was making fun of them, and she became angry immediately. She waved her hand, and a row of big men standing behind the sedan chair stepped forward. Red cloth flowers, everyone is holding a crossbow!
The old blackhead stopped laughing, and everyone was still laughing. Slowly realizing that the boss had a serious face, he slowly stopped laughing in puzzlement.

Old Heitou was arrested and served as a soldier when he was young, and he also went to the battlefield. He knows that this strong crossbow is made of high-quality Chinese fir. It has to be boiled in oil and dried for several months. The big tendon is taken from the back of the ox that is close to the backbone of the ox. Jingguo prohibits the slaughter of cattle at will, so the tendon is rare, and it needs skilled craftsmen to make it.

This kind of powerful crossbow is terrifying. It can kill you at a distance of a hundred steps. It is most powerful within fifty steps. Even iron armor can be shot through within ten steps. Because the crossbow is short and thick, it is harder to break than an arrow. faster.

Coupled with ingenious design, a man who can usually open a two-stone bow can at least open a four-stone crossbow, and the crossbow is no better than a bow. Drawing a bow requires strength to maintain and aiming quickly. If you want to shoot accurately, you need to practice hard for several years.

The crossbow is different. Once the crossbow is strung, it can be aimed slowly and calmly. With a little training, the recruits can be accurate and naturally powerful.

This is the reason why they dare not go head-to-head with the officers and soldiers. If they can fight close to their bodies, they will not be afraid at all, but if the officers and soldiers are prepared, they have no armor that can defend against a strong crossbow, and they can shoot through half-inch wooden boards.

These twenty or so crossbows were simply unstoppable with the sheepskins on their bodies, so the black leopard's heart hung in an instant.

But such a crossbow is worth at least two sheep. How can there be so many jade-faced foxes!He was very strange.

No wonder they had just fought against Yang Jiajun, so they had something to rely on.

"Who are you guys and what do you want to do?" Black Panther asked.

The young woman smiled: "I told you a long time ago that my master is the Zhongyong General of Xixia!"

The black leopard ignored her, and shouted to the sedan chair through a few big men: "If you have something to come out and say to your face, what kind of a hero is hiding!"

"I'm not a good man. It's inconvenient to show my face when a woman is outside." A woman's voice came from inside the sedan chair, and the black leopard was taken aback, realizing that this jade-faced fox was a woman!

The black leopard frowned. He had never seen the jade-faced fox before, nor had he dealt with the subordinates of the jade-faced fox, but he had heard of things related to the jade-faced fox, but he had never thought that the jade-faced fox would actually It's a woman!
The black leopard signaled everyone to hold on, because the opposite party had a crossbow in his hand, and asked, "I don't care if you are a man or a woman, I just ask who you are and why you came to us."

"Don't be nervous, black leader. I told you a long time ago that I am the Zhongyong General of the Xixia Kingdom, and I am also a jade-faced fox." A voice came from the sedan chair, and the black leopard listened, trying to figure out the approximate age of the jade-faced fox. Little, because of a row of men with crossbows, he didn't dare to lean over.

"I'm looking for you, not for anything else, just to show you a way out."

The black panther was funny: "The way out? We're living a good life now, you don't need to say it."

"Really? Be a thief? You can be a thief, and those brothers around you can also be thieves. But have you ever thought about it? In ten years, twenty years, when you are old, all the brothers around you will be old. How to rob? Do you want your sons, grandsons, descendants and grandchildren to be thieves with their heads tied to their waistbands like yours?" The jade-faced fox said with a smile.

"It's none of your business!" Black Panther interrupted her.

"Haha, I think you're actually scared too!

Being thieves from generation to generation, life and death are uncertain all year round, and there is no peace?You are worthy of yourself, anyway, your own life is your own, but what about your future generations?Just because you are thieves, they are destined to be thieves too! "The jade-faced fox snapped.

The brothers around Hei Baozi were silent. He had a bad face, but he didn't speak.

"So what, is it possible to return to the imperial court?" He laughed at himself. These people have a deep blood feud with the imperial court.

Those hatreds have been told to them by their parents since they were young, and as they grow up, they have influenced their views on the world, and they are already relatively able to let go. Even so, they have been enemies of the Jingguo court for generations.

And those who can't let go like Xiongzhai are even more stubborn with the court, always wanting to make Jing Guo pay for their debts.

"Imperial court? What shit imperial court!" The jade-faced fox's voice rose suddenly: "We are not from Jingguo in the first place!
From the west of Taihang Mountain to Luliang, they are all descendants of the Han family, and they are the citizens of the Han country!Have you all forgotten how Jingguo burned Taiyuan and burned my Han family children to death?This bloody feud will be avenged sooner or later! "

"The only way out now is to attach to the Xixia Kingdom! Aren't you wondering where I got these powerful crossbows from? They came from the Xixia court. As long as you attach to the Xixia Kingdom, you will have money, food, equipment, and then you will be able to avenge your blood. !” The jade-faced fox snapped.

The black leopard's heart was shocked, and he realized that this jade-faced fox was really backed by the Xixia Kingdom, so it's no wonder it was so powerful.

"Well, think about it carefully."

The black leopard knew that there is no such thing as free food, so he spat and asked, "What do the Xixia people want us to do?"

"Grab Witten!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was frightened immediately.

Weiteng is also called Weizhou. It is not a big city itself, but it is bigger than the average county town. The most important thing is that all the military rations collected from Jingbei Road and transported to Taiyuan will go to Weizhou. It is winter now, and the autumn harvest has probably been hoarded. In Witten City.

"Are you kidding? Rely on us!" Black Panther asked back.
