Chapter 70 Murder in the Midnight

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Beirong King City, Muhe Street.

The bustling street during the day has now returned to silence, and people from all over have returned to their residences to rest in harmony with the sound of the wind and sand.

Zhang Qian and the Zhenbei soldiers guarding him are exceptions.

They are all summoned soldiers. Although they will be tired after physical exertion, they can recover slowly as long as they sit and rest, without mandatory sleep.

At this moment, under the candlelight, Zhang Qian was recording the content of the negotiation from beginning to end, planning to take it back for Su Yuan to check.

After all, sometimes, it is difficult to explain the whole problem by only looking at one result.

For example, in terms of the outcome of this negotiation, King Beirong finally compromised and was willing to give a lot of redemption.But there are also many details that can be recorded.

For example, the reluctance of the other princes during the negotiation, the rebuke of the king of Beirong to his eldest son, and even the crying and indifference of the wives of the king when facing Gu Lilie's danger... Zhang Qian recorded them all.

If you don't keep it neat, it will come in handy.

He was writing vigorously inside the house, while outside the house and in the yard, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were all sitting on the ground.

At this time, a person suddenly raised his head, with a look of vigilance in his eyes.

Immediately after, other soldiers also raised their heads, obviously hearing something.

On the street, Hagen was leading nearly 300 warriors approaching the place where Zhang Qian lived. They walked lightly and cautiously, for fear of waking up the enemy.

As everyone knows, Zhenbei Army has already heard the movement.

In such a quiet night, there are rustling footsteps outside, how could it be normal?

The soldiers notified Zhang Qian at the first time, and Zhang Qian was startled. Could it be that the king of Beirong didn't keep his word, and didn't count on what he said?

But it's not right to think about it carefully. If the king of Beirong wanted to kill him, why did he do it at this time?Wouldn't it be easier to call him directly to the king's court to kill them, that way there is no need to kill the guards of the northern army first.

Something is wrong.

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard was approaching, and a bright scimitar was even one step ahead, poking into the courtyard!

"Self-defense!" Zhang Qian roared, "Everyone shouted in unison, making noise!"

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!"

The high-pitched roar of a hundred soldiers at the same time woke up the residents of the entire street almost immediately.

At the same time, many Beirong warriors outside the courtyard who came to assassinate were also taken aback under the high tension. They only heard the sound of "Ding Ling Dang", and several of them were so frightened that their weapons fell to the ground.

Hagen, who was in charge of the operation, was in a hurry, not understanding why the guards of the Northern Army were still up in the middle of the night.But now that the arrow is on the string, he has no choice but to fire. He shouted: "Kill! Go in and kill Zhang Qian!"

"kill!!!"

The Beirong warriors rushed into the courtyard with bloodshot eyes when they thought of the great honor after their meritorious deeds.

However, what awaited them was a salvo of crossbow arrows.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army rushed out of the courtyard in a group of several people.

When the enemy's situation is unknown, they should stay in the courtyard and leave.But Zhang Qian was worried that the enemy would set fire and his side would be burned to death and choked to death, so he ordered the guards to rush out immediately.

Everyone guarded Zhang Qian's regiment in the center, and the soldiers on the periphery had already fought hand-to-hand with the Beirong warriors, killing them together.

Although there were nearly twice as many Beirong warriors, there were twenty or thirty casualties in the first round of crossbow arrows. In addition, the Zhenbei army was not afraid of death and did not have the slightest fear. This made the warriors known as "brave" Instead they became frightened.

The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the deadly ones.If these Beibei warriors are tough, tyrannical, and even reckless... then summoning soldiers is equivalent to "I don't know what life is" on a higher level than reckless.

They don't have the concept of "fear of death" at all, they just want to complete the task.Now their task was to protect Zhang Qian and kill the enemy, so they did that.

But in the face of such a group of soldiers, the Beirong warriors, who were superior in number, retreated steadily, with more than a hundred casualties in a short while.

Hagen was standing in the back, and he was stupefied seeing this scene. He didn't know why these Zhenbei troops could fight two or three.I don't even know why the people I brought back are already scared back.

He only knew that Wang Ting must have sent someone over for such a big commotion, if he didn't hurry up and kill Zhang Qian, there would be no chance!

"Damn it, don't worry about the others, go and kill Zhang Qian! Kill Zhang Qian!"

Hagen yelled, urging the rest of the warriors to pile forward with all their might, squeeze, and push away the Zhenbei soldiers guarding Zhang Qian, trying to kill Zhang Qian even if they were all wiped out.

But the warriors were already scared, no one was willing to use their lives to squeeze people away, and they were all retreating.

When Hagen saw this, a ruthless look appeared on his face: "If you can't kill Zhang Qian, the king will put you to death! Put your whole family to death!"

As soon as this remark came out, the warriors didn't care about themselves. In order not to implicate their families, they could only squeeze through desperately.

Hagen's threat worked, Zhenbei Army Lengsheng was squeezed open, and a dozen warriors rushed in through the opening and went straight to Zhang Qian.

There were only three soldiers in front of Zhang Qian at this time, but he did not panic. Instead, he said loudly: "Don't be deceived! It is definitely not your king's order to kill me. You have been bewitched! Put down your weapons now, and I will fight against you!" Your Majesty intercedes on your behalf and spares your life. Otherwise, even if you kill me, your Majesty will also execute you in anger!"

His words were clear and his voice was loud, and when several warriors under Hagen heard it, it seemed that there was some truth.

Just thinking about it, they slowed down.

This allowed the squeezed opening to close again, and the dozen or so Beirong warriors who rushed in were also chopped to the ground by a mess of knives.

Seeing this, Hagen said in his heart: It's over!

He turned around and ran away without saying a word.But before he could take a few steps, he slammed into a heavy object and fell to the ground.

"what……!"

Looking up, what he bumped into was not a thing, but a person.

This person's eyes were rolled white, his head was tied with thick braids, and his face had several tattoos. He was as frightening as a ghost in the dark night.

"Where are you going?" the man said, and his big palm-like hands picked up Hagen like a chicken.

Hagen's heart was cold. He knew that the man in front of him was Lai E, the captain of the king's personal guard, and he could also be said to be one of the most terrifying people in Beirong.

Caught by him, there is no possibility of escape.

"I, I... the king ordered me..."

Hagen was in a cold sweat, and wanted to defend himself forcefully.

At this time, the Hagen warriors he brought saw this man, their legs became weak, they dropped their weapons, and fell to their knees on the ground.

"What did your Majesty order you to do?"

"Fate, order me..."

"Okay, you can talk about it when you see the king." After finishing speaking, Lai E looked at Zhang Qian while lifting Hagen.

"Messenger, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhang Qian took a deep breath and glanced at the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who fell on the ground.More than half of his hundred guards were dead or injured!
"Although I was lucky enough not to be killed. But this matter, I must have an account!"

"Your Majesty, I will explain to you."
