Episode 10 Chapter 318
Chapter 318
The current situation in the Young Master's Mansion is completely different from what Tang Yin and others thought. The situation here is tense and tense to the extreme. Both inside and outside the mansion are full of Zhen soldiers. The two sides are facing each other with swords, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The coalition forces launched a fierce attack on Xitang. Li Dan, who was grounded at home, was very anxious. He didn't know how long his Central Army could resist the coalition forces. Once the coalition forces broke through the city, the city of Xitang would be filled with blood. He didn't know how many people there would be. Innocent people will be implicated, and it is even possible for the red-eyed coalition forces to massacre the city.
Li Dan firmly believed in Tang Yin's words. If he wanted to save Zhenguo and save the people of Zhenguo from disaster, he must voluntarily surrender and respectfully welcome the coalition forces into the capital, showing Zhenguo's determination to reform.
But with Generals Gauss and Lin Ning by his side, it would not help no matter how impatient he was.
The battle lasted all afternoon, but the coalition forces had no intention of retreating. Instead, the faint sound of fierce fighting became louder and louder. Li Dan could no longer sit still and wait for death in the prince's mansion. He led Generals Gauss and Lin Ning to the room and locked them up. door, and had a secret conversation with the two of them.
He went straight to the point and made it clear to the two of them about the secret contact between him and Tang Yin, and then moved emotionally and rationally towards Gao and Lin, hoping to persuade them to help him and control his father. Wang then gave up resistance and voluntarily surrendered to the coalition forces.
No matter how good his eloquence was, what he said was too shocking to Gauss and Lin Ning.
The two were stunned for a while before they came to their senses and looked at each other in silence. Finally, it was Gauss who spoke: "We only think that the young master is talking nonsense. I hope that the young master will never say anything like this again in the future!"
After persuading Gauss and Lin Ning to no avail, Li Dan was almost desperate. On this day, he was like an ant on a hot pot, restless, and all he could think about was the tragic situation when the coalition forces broke through the city.
It was hard to wait until the sky darkened, but the coalition's offensive continued unabated. Li Dan had already felt that the coalition planned to attack the city overnight. It seemed that the coalition had made up its mind and would not withdraw its troops until the city was breached.
If I can no longer make a difference, Zhenguo will be destroyed! He found Gauss and Lin Ning in his room again, and this time tears fell down before he could speak.
Just when Gao and Lin were shocked, he fell to his knees with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "It is already dark, but the coalition forces still do not withdraw. It seems that they are planning to attack the city overnight! The coalition forces have more than one million troops and reinforcements from the rear. There is a steady stream of attacks, and our Xitang city is now just an isolated city, with only two to three hundred thousand soldiers. How can we defend such a huge capital city? These two generals are now at the critical moment of the survival of our Zheng country. As a Zheng country, I am the master. Prince, how can we just watch the destruction of the Zheng Kingdom? If there is still a way, I will not choose to surrender. But now, we really have no choice. Once the capital is broken, even if I can escape by chance, what will happen? Can we still turn the tide? The only way to turn the tide is to surrender to the coalition. This is the only way to save the capital, the court, and our country! My father is stubborn. Do the two generals also understand this? "
Li Dan cried with runny nose and tears, which really moved the two generals Gauss and Lin Ning.
In fact, both of them had given up any hope of defending Xitang. Not to mention the two of them, even Li Hong was like this. Otherwise, the latter would not have made arrangements to let Gauss and Lin Ning cover Li Dan's escape.
Gao and Lin looked at each other and murmured secretly in their hearts. After pondering for a long time, Gao Si asked first: "Sir, the matter is very important. Once our Zheng country chooses to surrender, will the coalition forces really let our Zheng country go?"
"I will definitely do it!" Li Dan answered simply and said: "This is the promise made by His Highness the Wind King himself to this young master, and it will never be false. When the two sides negotiate a peace, our country, Zhenguo, will pay some war to the coalition forces if possible. It’s just a loss.”
Gauss and Lin Ning looked at each other again. If this is the case, it would be great. As for whether to follow Li Dan's wishes, the two of them were in a struggle.
In the end, under Li Dan's sincere eyes, Generals Gao and Lin made the most wrong decision in their lives and chose to trust Li Dan.
After they made up their minds, they asked Li Dan in unison: "What do you want me to do?"
Hearing this, Li Dan, who had been frowning all day, finally smiled. He was overjoyed and said urgently: "Two generals, come here quickly!"
Li Dan successfully persuaded Gauss and Lin Ning, and then deliberately set a fire in his mansion. He knew very well that his father was interested in him. Once he learned that his mansion was on fire, his father would definitely rush over. , is the best opportunity to hold the father hostage.
He set a fire in the backyard of the Gongzi Mansion, adding dry wood and fuel. The fire immediately jumped more than ten meters high and burned half of the sky red. From a distance, it seemed as if the entire Gongzi Mansion had been plunged into a sea of flames.
Li Dan was really right. As soon as he learned that there was a fire in the Young Master's Mansion, Li Hong was so frightened that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, only wearing socks, so he rushed to the Young Master's Mansion in a carriage.
When he left the palace, he took away a considerable number of the palace guards. This is why Tang Yin and others did not encounter many guards after sneaking into the palace.
Li Hong was concerned about Li Dan's safety. After he hurried to the young master's house, he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire had not spread to the front yard. Li Dan was not seen at the scene. After asking the servants of the Young Master's Mansion, he found out that Li Dan, Gao Si, Lin Ning and others were still in the mansion. Li Hong rushed into the Young Master's Mansion without even thinking.
As a result, once he entered, he never came out again.
Li Dan, who had long laid a net in the Prince's Mansion, and Gao Si, Lin Ning and others jointly held Li Hong hostage. I'm afraid that Li Hong never dreamed that his favorite eldest son and his most trusted generals Gao and Lin would actually betray him together.
The father and son turned against each other, and Li Hong was controlled by Li Dan. The Prince's Mansion was full of Li Dan's trusted ministers, generals, retainers, soldiers, and servants, while the Prince's Mansion was surrounded by the palace guards. Because the king was in someone else's hands, the guards did not dare to act rashly, and dared to surround the Prince's Mansion but did not dare to attack it.
With Li Dan's sudden rebellion, Li Hong was held hostage by him, and the court of Zhen State was in chaos. The ministers in the court came to the Prince's Mansion one after another. Some advised Li Dan not to do stupid things, and some directly threatened him. Li Dan's reply was to open the city immediately and surrender to the coalition forces. Only in this way would he release Li Hong.
This is the whole story.
When Tang Yin and his companions arrived at the Prince's Mansion, they saw this chaotic scene. Tang Yin didn't know what happened here, and the Zhen Kingdom also didn't know the origin of this group of people who suddenly rushed out. When the two sides met, they were a little surprised.
Tang Yin muttered to himself, it was just a fire, why are there so many people at the Prince's Mansion? Could it be that the Zhen Kingdom changed the venue of the court meeting from the palace to the Prince's Mansion?
Too lazy to figure out the truth, Tang Yin took the lead and rushed into the Prince's Mansion with a sickle.
The palace guards didn't know what they were doing, and rushed forward to stop them.
Before they could ask questions, Tang Yin's sickle had already swung over. There was a click in the ear, and the two guards closest to him were cut by him, their bodies were separated, and they died tragically on the spot.
"It's... the Prince's accomplices! They must be the Prince's accomplices!"
The palace guards would never guess that they were the coalition forces, but only thought they were Li Dan's followers. Tang Yin didn't care who they mistook him for. Anyway, he just wanted to enter the mansion and capture Li Hong.
However, it was not so easy to rush into the mansion now. Many generals from the Zhen Kingdom gathered here. When they saw Tang Yin and his group, the generals of Zhen each held their weapons and came to meet him. The first person to meet Tang Yin was the general of Zhen Kingdom, Long Fei.
Long Fei was one of the fierce generals of Zhen Kingdom. He used two hammers in his hands, had infinite strength, and had a pure spiritual martial arts cultivation. When he met Tang Yin, he used two hammers to hit Tang Yin's left and right temples.
Tang Yin's body was like a loach, and he slipped out from under the two hammers. There was a loud clang, and the two hammers hit the air and collided with each other, like a thunder in the clear sky. Even Tang Yin, who dodged, was shocked and his ears were buzzing.
"Take another hammer from me!" Long Fei was domineering, and he smashed down with two hammers, hitting Tang Yin's shoulders. A black mist suddenly appeared around Tang Yin, and he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already beside Long Fei, and the sickle cut his lower abdomen.
Dark spiritual cultivator! Long Fei was secretly surprised, but he was also calm. He took back one hammer to block the edge of the sickle, and hit Tang Yin's back with the other hammer. At the same time, he released his spiritual pressure to prevent Tang Yin from using the shadow drift again.
Tang Yin's reaction was faster. The opponent used a short weapon and was good at close combat, while he was using a sickle, which made him feel restrained at this time. He immediately split the sickle into two spiritual knives, and after deflecting the spiritual hammer that Long Fei hit, he used two knives in succession and launched a round of violent attacks on Long Fei.
At the beginning, Long Fei could still swing his two hammers to barely parry, but Tang Yin's moves were not only continuous, but also faster and faster. Gradually, his two knives could no longer be seen, and only cold lights flashed in the air continuously.
Tang Yin attacked more than 20 times in a row. Long Fei used all his strength to block all of Tang Yin's swords. Looking at him again, there were five or six cracks on his spiritual armor, and the silver-white armor inside was exposed.
How could this man's swordsmanship be so powerful? ! This was the first time that Long Fei encountered an enemy who attacked so quickly. He was shocked, but he didn't have time to think about it. Tang Yin's double swords came again.
This time Long Fei didn't dare to fight back and retreated repeatedly. For a while, under Tang Yin's sword, he could only parry and had no power to fight back.
He had fought countless enemies in his life, but he had never been beaten so badly. In anger, Long Fei roared, took out his best skills, and released the spiritual transformation of soldiers.
