Chapter 366 Going to the Destination

When Li Xiang's funeral was being solemnly arranged in Shangjing in Northern Xia, the war between the north, the west and the south was going on cruelly and tragically.Nanzhen, like a fierce tiger, came out of the gate and swung his troops all the way to the north. Wherever he went, the frontier defense was defeated.Several cities in a row were easily captured without any battle.

The battle report from the south said that Nanzhen actually forged the imperial decree of Beixia and passed it on to the frontier guards. Many other generals on the border died strangely, and Nanzhen replaced them with people of similar size and wore It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the human skin mask.Once the war broke out, those fake generals would take the initiative to open the city gates to meet the enemy, thus allowing Nanzhen to capture several cities in succession without any effort.

Su Jing led the army to the south, and immediately opened fire with Nan Zhen.However, Nanzhen's military strength is twice as much as that of Su Jing's. Not to mention the number of enemies, Prince Nanzhen personally led the army in this battle, and Prince Nanzhen is a person who usually keeps a low profile and is familiar with military books. It is difficult to conquer more with fewer victories, and it would be nice to be able to hold the position and prevent the enemy from taking another step north.Su Jing's first task was to hold back the enemy army in the south. He would not be able to win until the fighting on the west and north stopped and the soldiers from the north came to support him.

And how could Prince Nanzhen not know Su Jing's intention to delay time, and for a while, he used full firepower to attack Su Jing's army.The war in the south was urgent several times.

Nan Zhen's false imperial decree was sent back to Bei Xia Su Ruoqing.The imperial decree was almost the same as the real thing, the gold thread, the dragon pattern, and the seal of the national seal on the lower right and the cinnabar inkpad used for the seal were all extremely realistic.

This fake imperial decree was placed on Su Ruoqing's desk. He looked at it coldly for a while, and couldn't help but think of the case of the theft of the imperial seal a few years ago. In the end, only the thief who returned the imperial seal was caught, but the murderer behind the scenes was not caught.Presumably at that time, Nan Zhen was humble and kind on the surface, but in fact she was already planning all this secretly.The cinnabar ink pad used for stamping is a unique cinnabar specially prepared in the palace, and the preparation process is very complicated and exquisite.

This seems to have a subtle connection with several murder cases that occurred in Beijing that year.

Su Ruoqing saw clearly the file sent by Dali Temple.The previous cases can be accurately linked together.

First, a carver died tragically because of having an affair with the butcher's wife, and then a perfumer was killed by a brothel woman because of love and hatred. These two cases seem to have no connection, and the real culprit has already been laid. The first edge method, in fact, a skilled engraver can carve the pattern of a jade seal, and a skilled perfumer can also concoct a unique cinnabar...

In March and April, when the spring warms up, the ice and snow on the grassland melt, and new green grass emerges. At a glance, the rolling prairie seems to be dressed again, fresh and pleasant.

When Ye Song and Su Chen led the army to attack Rong Di's capital, it was the season when the willow catkins in Beijing sprouted buds and returned to the earth in spring in March and April.

The night before the attack on Rongdi's capital city, news came from the north that the general was injured. At Ye Song's request, Su Chen decided to allocate part of the troops overnight and bring two military doctors to the north to rescue.With all these resources, Beixia couldn't find any other way except to support and help each other.

That night, Ye Song changed into the military uniform of the Rongdi people. Bai Yu helped her disguise and put on a human skin mask. Her thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly appeared rough. She learned about the habits of the Rongdi people from Baili Mingshu, and then He lowered his voice and spoke basically no different from Rongdi people.

Bai Yu was worried, and said, "Second Miss, let me go with you."

Ye Song said: "It's okay, you guard the barracks and wait for orders. This battle must be resolved quickly."

At that time, the curtain of the tent was lifted.Ye Song looked back and was taken aback for a moment.It was Su Chen who walked in, but he was not dressed like he usually was in the barracks.Like Ye Song, he also wore the military uniform of a Rongdi soldier, and his face was slightly modified, so he could still see his true colors, but he also looked like a Rongdi soldier.

Before Ye Song could speak, Su Chen stood in front of her, looked down at her, and said, "Are you ready? I'll go with you." He was afraid that Ye Song would refuse, so he explained, "Everyone Among them, my martial arts is the highest, and my lightness kung fu is not bad, so I can help you. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to break through Rongdi’s city gate by yourself. Let’s go and return quickly.”

Seeing that his eyes were fixed, Ye Song reached out and patted the armor casually on his body, put on the helmet and said with a half-smile, "The commander can't leave the barracks, is it okay for you?"

Su Chen also smiled, and said: "Although the person is not here, the spirit of the backbone is still there. With Liu Jie watching over in the barracks, everything will be fine. I have already arranged everything."

Ye Song didn't say anything more.Accompanied by Su Chen, she can indeed be more secure, and can even save a lot of effort on things like turning over the city gate.

After everything was ready, Su Chen and Ye Song walked out of the camp side by side.Outside, a dozen generals were standing upright in the night, surrounded by flames.Su Chen condensedly said: "The officers and men of the three armies listen to the order and pass on the order. It is inevitable to conquer the capital of Rongdi. Let all the ministries prepare for it. At that time, the king's signal will be used as an order to attack Rongdi according to the plan!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, all the ministries immediately retreated and went back to prepare.

Ye Song and Su Chen rode on their horses, and Liu Jie stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Second Miss, please be careful. If there is any danger, you must send a signal flare as soon as possible, so we can attack the city gate and disperse their forces." attention."

Su Chen nodded: "I'll leave this to you."

The two rode horses and galloped out of Beixia's barracks side by side.The night outside is thick and the spring is cold and cold, but it makes people feel refreshed.After riding for several miles in this way, the city tower standing in the night and the faint fire on the city wall can be seen faintly in front of it.The two got off the horse, patted the horse's back, and let the horse walk backwards, while they paid attention to concealment and walked forward.

The capital of Rongdi is located in a flat and open area among several prairie mountains. Some valleys are not grasslands that can be seen at a glance. There are forests and dealers outside the tower, and thousands of lights are rustling inside the tower.

Instead, Ye Song was not worried that there would be no place to hide.

As a result, she and Su Chen easily blended into the patrolling team without arousing the slightest suspicion, and entered the city in a grand manner.

Not long after, there was a commotion in the city tower.Someone shouted in the native Rongdi language: "The enemy army has entered another five miles!"

This was arranged by Su Chen in advance.After they sneaked into the capital, Liu Jie estimated the time and marched five miles forward.For the nervous Rongdi soldiers, it will undoubtedly be a struggle.

Therefore, a soldier was sent from the city tower to rush to the palace, and immediately reported the battle situation to Rongdi Khan in the palace.

After Ye Song and Su Chen entered the city, they disappeared.The rapid sound of horseshoes galloped across the not-so-spacious street. People on both sides of the street had covered their doors and windows, wishing they didn't hear anything, but they couldn't sleep peacefully with the imminent battle. If there is any disturbance, there will be a commotion in the courtyard.

The soldier didn't have the leisure to pay attention to his surroundings, he just drove his horse forward quickly.As a result, when Jiang ran to a corner, he didn't pay attention to the ground, and a rope stretched across both sides. He didn't have time to rein in the horse to stop, and the horse's hoof suddenly tripped over the rope, and he was thrown far away.

When the soldier got up and wanted to yell, Ye Song appeared behind him like a ghost, stretched out his hand to hook his neck, and twisted to the side forcefully, the soldier lost his breath in an instant.

Ye Song walked over carelessly, and Su Chen had already appeared beside the horse.He looked at Ye Song, and suddenly said without a word: "It's really becoming more and more like a man."

Ye Song grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and got on the horse neatly, looked down at Su Chen, and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

"This is not a compliment." Su Chen said, "Don't delay, go quickly, I will follow after a while."

Ye Song raised the rein of the horse and said, "I can handle the rest by myself."

"Without further ado."

As soon as Ye Song clamped the horse's belly, the horse ran forward again.Su Chen stood in place, dressed like a soldier, watching Ye Song's back on horseback disappear into the thick night.Then there was another call from the city gate: "Two miles in!"

Another soldier who reported the report was speeding down the street, Su Chen almost waited on the sidelines, took it down easily, and ran to Rongdi's palace without delay.

Because Ye Song was holding a military newspaper, he broke into the palace unimpeded all the way, and he could directly meet Rong Di's Khan.

He broke a hand and was recuperating in the bedroom.His temper was so scary that he didn't want others to serve him, so he drove all the palace people out.A low table was placed on the wide bed, and the low table was full of official documents, as if he was very busy.When he heard the battle reports, Rong Di Khan looked extremely impatient, his blue eyes were full of anxiety, because all the battle reports he had heard for so long were all bad, and he had never heard a single good news.

Ye Song truthfully reported: "The enemy has advanced another five miles!"

Rong Di Khan was so angry that he waved away all the official documents, and said angrily: "A bunch of trash! There are so many people in our army, but we can't defeat so few people in Beixia. They are all trash!" After he finished venting, he found that Ye Song was still there Without leaving, he couldn't help cursing, "What are you doing standing there stupidly, why don't you leave alone!"

Ye Song hooked the corners of his lips in a cold and unrecognizable manner. After suppressing it for so many days, her emotions were already about to erupt like a mountain torrent. She only took one look at the person in front of her, and she was so disgusted that she wanted to kill him beat.Ye Song didn't want to suppress it anymore, even his voice changed, and he said, "I won't leave, of course I still have something to ask."

Su Chen then broke into the palace, and did not go all the way to report the battle situation to Rongdi Khan, but used lightness kung fu to fly over the walls of the palace, and when he encountered patrolling guards, he deliberately made a little noise to arouse the guards' alarm .Ever since, a cry of "There are assassins!" disturbed the entire palace.
