Volume 10, Chapter 766
Chapter 766
Tang Yin was not so self-indulgent as to think that Xiao Xiang, who had only met him twice, would like him. Then, as Ren Xiao analyzed, she must have had other intentions in making such a bet, but what exactly was she after?
He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. Because of this, after seeing that the deposited money was still there, his mood did not relax, but became more solemn. The latest chapter. {/Book friends upload updates} The unknown is the most terrifying, because you don't know what will happen next.
When Tang Yin led everyone out of the cellar, it was just past the hour of Hai, and his deposited money was not lost. He had already won the bet this time.
People smiled happily, and Generals Ye Tang and Gao Yu walked to Tang Yin happily and said, "My king, the princess of Chuan is arrogant. This time we have defeated her spirit. When my king sees her, she must be embarrassed!"
Tang Yin curled his lips and turned to look at Generals Ye and Gao. He blinked his eyes, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he realized something in a trance. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is currently in charge of the Ninth Army Camp?"
The Ninth Army's commander Qi Heng is here, and the two deputy commanders Ye Tang and Gao Yu are also here. How can there be anyone in charge of the camp? Hearing his question, Ye Tang and Gao Yu's hearts trembled, and they looked at each other, not daring to answer.
Qi Heng stepped forward and whispered, "My king, I and my brothers Ye and Gao are worried about the safety of the silver vault. The camp outside the city... temporarily, temporarily, no one is in charge!"
Tang Yin frowned, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said in a hurry, "It's bad!"
The faces of everyone present changed at the same time, and they didn't understand what he meant by "it's bad". Just when people hadn't figured out what was going on, Tang Yin gave an order in a deep voice: "The hidden arrows will stay in the county capital, and the rest of you, follow me to the Ninth Army Camp immediately!"
As he spoke, Tang Yin had already strode out. Qi Heng hurriedly caught up with Tang Yin and asked, "Your Majesty is worried... that our camp will be attacked?"
"That's right!"
"But no enemy troops were found near Yujing. Our camp should...should not be attacked..." Qi Heng said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Do you think that you have to use a large army to attack the camp of an army? Have you forgotten the lesson of the new army so quickly?" Tang Yin asked coldly without turning his head.
Tang Yin's reaction was fast enough and his thinking was sharp enough. At this time, he realized that Xiao Xiang's bet was probably a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, deliberately attracting his own attention to the city, causing the military camp outside the city to be careless and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. -< >-()
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to realize this now.
When Tang Yin led a group of Fengjun generals out of the county capital, he looked up and saw that the East City had already shown light. It was late at night and of course it would not be bright. People looked closely and saw that it was not light, but fire.
Over in the east city, the sky was already burning red, and thick smoke was billowing up into the sky. People almost doubted whether they had seen it wrong. Qi Heng even subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Le Tian and Ai Jia were also dumbfounded, muttering: "That... that seems to be the Ninth Army's base..."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard the sound of horse hooves on the street, and then a wind soldier rode a fast horse and galloped over. When Tang Yin and others approached, he fell off the horse with a plop. He lay on the ground and couldn't wait to stand up, so he shouted to Le Tian: "General, something bad has happened. The Ninth Army camp was attacked and the granary in the army was burned!"
This sentence made everyone present gasp. What you fear is really what the king said. The Ninth Army stationed outside the city was indeed attacked. Tang Yin, who had just sat on the warhorse, held the reins tightly, and his teeth were clenched.
Now he finally understood why Xiao Xiang made this losing bet with him. She had no intention of winning. She had only one purpose, to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
This was not a bet at all, it was simply a joke on him!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the reins of the warhorse were broken by Tang Yin's palm. There was a blazing fire in his eyes, and his face was frighteningly gloomy. He shouted to Qi Heng and others: "You guys hurry back to the camp and rescue the granary. Save as much as you can, hurry!"
However, it would be too late to return to the camp at this time? There were indeed not many people who stole the camp, but they were all outstanding spiritual practitioners. Their goal was not to fight and tangle with the soldiers of the Ninth Army, but to set fire to the granary. When the fire started, these spiritual practitioners who stole the camp did not stop for a moment, and retreated immediately when they saw the good.
The Ninth Army also sent soldiers to chase and kill, but heavy cavalry is not light cavalry after all, and its speed is not fast. The Ninth Army chased and killed for five miles, but finally returned empty-handed.
It was indeed Xiao Xiang's plan to make a fake bet and really attack the Ninth Army's station outside the city. From the Feng Army's perspective, her plan has been successful, and she must have run away by now, but in fact, Xiao Xiang not only did not leave, but also lurked near the county capital.
Seeing the Feng Army generals led by Tang Yin rushing out of the county capital and heading straight to the Ninth Army's station outside the city, Xiao Xiang showed a smug smile on her face.
A middle-aged man beside her slowly approached her by the eaves and whispered: "The Feng people were really led by the princess. Now the county capital is empty, it is a good opportunity for us to win the silver."
"Have you figured out where the silver is hidden?"
"I have sent people to check it out, and there is absolutely no mistake." The middle-aged man said confidently.
Xiao Xiang nodded, smiled and said, "In this case, it's our turn to take action!"
As she spoke, her eyes moved to the black-clothed masked man. She nodded and said softly, "Mr. Hei, whether I can successfully seize the military pay of the Feng Army this time, I will rely on you."
The black-clothed masked man did not speak, but just nodded slightly.
The five of them jumped back to the courtyard from the eaves. In this small courtyard, there were more than 20 big men dressed as civilians sitting or standing. These people had bright eyes. An expert could tell at a glance that they were all spiritual practitioners with superb cultivation.
Xiao Xiang shook her head to everyone, then took them out of the courtyard through the back door and quickly ran towards the county capital not far away. They did not dare to go through the main gate of the county capital, so they quietly went around to the back of the county capital and jumped in over the wall.
Now, most of the guards in the county capital have followed Tang Yin to the station outside the city, and the defense in the mansion is empty, which just gives these people an opportunity to take advantage of.
These spiritual practitioners are very experienced. After entering the county capital, they did not act immediately, but hid on the spot first. After confirming that there was no ambush and no attention from the enemy, they came out from the dark and went to the cellar of the county capital together.
When they passed through the backyard and were about to enter the courtyard, a patrol of guards came over.
The guards in the Fengguo Guard Camp are all elites carefully selected from the entire army. Although it cannot be said that everyone is a spiritual practitioner, spiritual practitioners account for the majority.
Although Xiao Xiang and others hid quickly enough, they still aroused the guards' vigilance.
The leading team leader shot out a brilliant light in his eyes and cast the insight technique, and immediately discovered the existence of spiritual pressure in front. He instinctively drew out his sword and shouted, "Who's in front? Come out!"
As soon as he showed his sword, the guards behind him also drew out their swords. Seeing this, Xiao Xiang realized that she could no longer hide. She shook her head to the people around her and said firmly, "Kill all those who hinder us!"
With her order, all the spiritual practitioners rushed out and rushed towards the patrol team in front. A middle-aged man next to Xiao Xiang took the lead and rushed to the front. Before he arrived, his spiritual martial arts skills arrived first, and the spiritual blades in the sky swept towards the guards.
The guards trembled in their hearts. They had no time to think about it and could only use their spiritual martial arts skills to deal with it.
It was a pity that their cultivation was far different from that of the middle-aged man. When the spiritual martial arts skills of both sides came into contact, the spiritual thorns and spiritual blades cast by the guards instantly disappeared, while the spiritual blades cast by the middle-aged man continued to fly forward.
Pounce, pounce, pounce! For a moment, the sound of spiritual blades breaking armor was endless. Four guards fell to the ground on the spot. Looking down at their bodies, they were covered with bloody wounds of various sizes, and their limbs were twitching. They were already dead.
The remaining guards were horrified. They rushed forward with swords while shouting and fought with the middle-aged man and many spiritual practitioners. Another person turned around and ran back, wanting to inform his companions.
He had not run a few steps when a flash of lightning suddenly shot out from the crowd. With a puff, the lightning sank into the back of the guard. His running figure also rolled to the ground, trembled a few times, and then stopped moving.
The middle-aged man sneered and walked up quickly. He pulled out the spiritual sword he had thrown from the body of the guard, then turned around and said to everyone: "The cellar where the silver is hidden is just ahead. Everyone follow me and kill it!"
"Roar--"
The spiritual practitioners shouted in unison, followed the middle-aged man, and ran forward with all their strength.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cellar, there were already no less than a hundred Feng Kingdom guards standing there, standing in neat formation, holding the same crossbows in their hands, ready for battle.
Wow! Unexpectedly, the Feng Kingdom guards reacted so quickly and set up their formation so quickly. However, it can be seen from the number of guards that the county capital is indeed empty, and the personnel who can fight are probably all here.
The middle-aged man snorted and laughed, and while covering himself with spiritual armor, he walked forward as if no one was around.
The leader of the more than a hundred guards was named Zhang Xiang, and he held the rank of a thousand-man captain in the guard camp. Zhang Xiang stared at the middle-aged man who was swaggering in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly: "Shoot! Shoot the enemy!"
