Feng Zhanglin reported to Xiao Yichen in detail the series of arrangements he had made: "Your Highness, Yu County has not been invaded by the Tatars so far. I have notified the people to hide their food and be vigilant. If they find the Tatars, they must save their lives first. Those who have fled to Yu County have also been properly resettled..."

After hearing this, Xiao Yichen praised repeatedly, "Very good! The Tatars are aggressive, fierce and cruel by nature. Ordinary people are no match for them, so they should just hide.

At present, they have not yet harassed Yu County. First, they were in a hurry to attack Wucheng. Second, it snowed heavily for several days. Third, they still have food. Another point is that Yu County is too remote and they are too lazy to come here, so it is still peaceful here.

Now that they have stopped fighting for many days, it is hard to say whether they will focus on the remote Yu County because they cannot find anyone in the villages and towns along the official road. In any case, we should be vigilant..."

Feng Zhanglin's heart trembled. "I understand. There are many people in Yu County who have fled from Tacheng and other counties and villages. They said that the Tatars burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Many young girls and wives were not able to escape quickly and were raped by them..."

Shen Jia's eyes flashed with rage, and he said coldly: "These beasts."

Xiao Yichen held her hand and comforted her: "They won't be so arrogant for long."

Shen Jia's eyes flashed with a determined light: "Well! This time we must destroy the Tatar royal family, make the Tatars disappear from history, and make their people become the people of my Great Zhou..."

When everyone present heard this, their eyes were filled with longing and eagerness to expand the territory!
They are all men of blood. How could they not be angry when they heard that their compatriots were harmed? The princess's intention to destroy the Tatars is exactly what they want.

Feng Zhanglin's eyes were startlingly bright: "Your Highness, Princess, if you can be of any use to me, please let me know."

Xiao Yichen glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, you'll be there for me."

We talked until late at night before going to rest.

The next day, after having breakfast at the county government office, the group continued on their journey.

The closer they got to Tacheng, the more villages they saw. They visited several villages and found that all of them were in a mess.

There were elderly people who were stabbed several times, with their eyes wide open and lying in a pool of blood, and their bodies gave off a foul smell. They must have been too old to flee, so they stayed at home, and were killed by the Tatars when they were found.

Shen Jia's eyes were full of anger. He clenched his fists and cursed fiercely, "I will make these beasts pay with blood."

Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with anger: "We must ask them to pay back double this debt."

Every time they entered a village, their hostility grew stronger. When they reached the vicinity of Tacheng, the rage in their eyes could hardly be contained. Several times, the two of them had to take deep breaths to suppress the rage that was gushing out.

From a distance, one could see Tatar soldiers standing lazily on the walls of Tacheng, and some of them were yawning frequently.

Seeing this, Shen Jia whispered in Xiao Yichen's ear: "Achen, take a closer look, are the guards in Tacheng a little lax?"

The two were very close to each other, and the warm breath from Shen Jia's breath sprinkled on Xiao Yichen's earlobe and spread to his brow, bringing a subtle itch. Xiao Yichen's Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, his cheeks turned red, and his breathing became a little disordered.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said in a hoarse voice: "The one guarding Tacheng is the Tatar general Batu. He has always had a superficial relationship with Amur. The two of them have always been like cross-eyed, neither of them willing to submit to the other. I guess Amur did not tell him about the setbacks encountered in the attack on Wucheng.

Moreover, Batu was a proud and arrogant person. Even if he was told, he would still feel that the Tatars had an army of more than 200,000 and that the Zhou Dynasty's small force was nothing to be afraid of.

Another point is that the Tatars are a nation that was conquered on horseback. They are used to riding horses everywhere. Once they have a stable residence, their minds are like people who have been poor for a long time and suddenly become rich overnight. They forget everything and become too proud to pay attention to the potential dangers around them.

"In that case, it is not difficult for us to recapture Tacheng. The difficulty lies in defeating the Tatar army while recapture Tacheng."

"Indeed." Shen Jia's clear and lively eyes rolled around, a sly smile appeared at the corners of his lips, and he whispered a few words in Xiao Yichen's ear, "What do you think of this method?"

Xiao Yichen smiled: "This is a very good plan!"

On a cold snowy night, the ice-covered city walls are hung with crystal icicles. The transparent icicles sparkle in the moonlight, like ice sculptures.

The chill grew deeper, and a cold wind carrying snowflakes blew towards them. Shen Jia, Xiao Yichen, Ling Yunsu and the people from Tianji Pavilion ignored the cold air that penetrated their mouths and noses, and used their internal energy to lightly tap their toes to fly up to the city wall.

The Tatar soldiers on the city wall were drowsy and only felt a figure flash by. When they rubbed their eyes to see clearly, they did not find anything unusual, so they closed their eyes and continued to take a nap.

Shen Jia and others were afraid of being discovered by the Tatar soldiers, so they climbed the city wall from several directions and then gathered together.

After entering the city, the group, led by Ling Yunsu, went directly to a house in the city.

This is the house that Yi Zhenpeng bought secretly, and no one knows that he is the owner of the house.

There were only two old servants guarding the house. They were not surprised at the arrival of Shen Jia and his group, and they made a bowl of noodles for each of them as quickly as possible.

Shen Jia and the others didn't act pretentiously. After thanking them, they started to slurp the noodles and then fell asleep.

Over the next few days, they dressed up in disguise and moved separately to find out the defense deployment and shifts in the city.

When they saw Tatar soldiers bullying the people of the Great Zhou, they would secretly rescue them and secretly make the bullying soldiers have accidents. In short, any Tatar soldier they encountered being bullied would not survive more than two days and would die in various ways.

However, this phenomenon did not attract Batu's attention.

After everything was figured out, it was already four days later, and it was time to deal with Xu Yong.

They have found out everything about Xu Yong in the past few days.

At night, Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, dressed in black, tiptoed through the streets, flew into General Dingyuan's Mansion, and went directly to Xu Yong's bedroom.

Xiao Yichen had no idea what was going on inside, so he took Shen Jia's hand and asked her to wait outside the door, while he opened the door and walked in.

Xu Yong had been sleeping restlessly ever since he rebelled. He always felt that his head was in danger at any time, so he woke up as soon as Xiao Yichen came in.

He sat up suddenly and shouted, "Who are you?"

Xiao Yichen ignored him, and with lightning speed, he pressed several acupoints on his body before opening the door to let Shen Jia in.

Xu Yong was a good martial artist and had internal strength. He tried to unblock the acupoints by himself, but found that Xiao Yichen's acupoint-pressing skills were so strange that they had no effect at all.

He couldn't move his body, couldn't speak, and was shocked, angry, and afraid. Who was this person with such high martial arts skills? Where did he come from? Why did he press his acupoints as soon as he came?

Xu Yong was puzzled, his eagle-like eyes followed Xiao Yichen, and a sense of fear surged in his heart. (End of this chapter)
