Chapter 1639: Mutual Calculation

Zhao Song was assigned by King Yao to act with Bai Hengbo, so Bai Hengbo was not in a position to contact Qingyang at this time.

But Zhao Song only had a few followers, and the three hundred guards were still in Shuangxian Palace.

Bai Hengbo knew where the defense forces in the palace were distributed, and he began to think about where to kill Zhao Song.

Zhao Song was loyal to King Yao, and when his actions began, this person would become an obstacle.

We had to find a place with few people and kill him without anyone noticing!

They were about to walk out of the outer courtyard of Shuangxian Palace when they ran into Qingyang. She looked up and asked Zhao Song, her smile was as warm as always:

"Hey, don't you usually follow He Xiao? Where is he? I have something to find him."

As soon as Bai Hengbo came out, she noticed that his state was different.

Their plan was about to begin, and Bai Hengbo was one of the main forces of the action. He should stay firmly in Shuangxian Palace. Why did he go out at this time?

Needless to say, he received orders from King Yao.

Bai Hengbo couldn't come to her, but it didn't matter, she could ask openly, because Zhao Song was right next to her.

Tonight, she and the special envoy Beijia went to the palace to complain. As the person in charge of the Tianshui East Expansion Project, He Xiao must be summoned by King Yao. But everyone else came, but He Xiao was not seen.

This is interesting. Zhao Song usually follows He Xiao, and there is no reason for him to enter the palace alone at this time.

What happened? Qingyang's eyes condensed slightly. Did that guy slip away?

Retire after success, this is indeed in line with He Xiao's slippery character.

Zhao Song was stopped by her, and he couldn't ignore it, so he had to say: "He Xiao also..."

Bai Hengbo suddenly said: "He Xiao escaped after entering the palace. The king determined that he was the Nine Nether Emperor, which might be bad for you. Let me search for him as soon as possible!"

Zhao Song was stunned. Can Bai Hengbo say this on his own initiative?

Of course not, but Bai Hengbo didn't care about being abrupt. He had to seize the opportunity created by Qingyang and pass the message to her.

"Oh?" Qingyang raised her eyebrows, "The king believes that He Xiao is the Nine Nether Emperor?"

She was a little surprised, but not that surprised.

She had already concluded that He Xiao was the Nine Nether Emperor. What surprised her was that King Yao also got it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The conflict between King Yao and her has gradually become irreconcilable today, just as He Xiao planned.

He Xiao disappeared after entering the palace. Did he want to hide and attack her? Qingyang pondered for a moment. This sounded a bit abnormal.

Tonight is the time for dragons and tigers to fight. Judging from the cleverness that He Xiao has shown in the past, he should stay away from him and not risk his life to get involved in this muddy water.

She asked Zhao Song: "How many people did he bring?"

This question caught Zhao Song off guard, and he was startled: "Once he enters the palace, he can only be alone, this is the convention."

"How many followers does he have outside the palace?"

Zhao Song said: "Five."

The man surnamed Zhao was lying, and she saw it at a glance! Qingyang deliberately said: "Since He Xiao is here to deal with me, my men will go with you!"

Zhao Song had no choice but to say: "Master Regent, the king only ordered me and Master Bai to arrest him together."

If the Regent interferes, it will be troublesome.

The old palace servant Qiu Long noticed the situation here and came over: "Master Regent, what happened here?"

"He Xiao escaped into the palace and was ready to harm me. I sent my men to chase him together."

Qiu Long said: "It is their job to hunt down He Xiao. If Master Regent insists, my king will naturally have no objection."

At that moment, Qingyang pointed out seven Qingwei and asked them to follow Bai Hengbo and Zhao Song.

Bai Hengbo knew that Qingyang was worried and sent someone to protect him.

They turned around and left, and Qingyang quietly gathered up his long sleeves and gently wiped the ring on his ring finger.

This is a black jade ring, the ring face is the size of a soybean, round and shiny.

However, after Qingyang touched it so gently, the ring suddenly came alive and grew legs -

This is not a ring at all, it is clearly a black ladybug, the so-called "ring" is its hooked feet holding the owner's finger.

Qingyang pressed the big tree in the courtyard, and the black ladybug quietly climbed up the tree, moved a few legs to crawl up, and flapped its wings at the top of the treetop.

There are many trees in the palace, and the night is dark. Who would notice a small insect following Bai Hengbo and others?

It is not close to Yindou Pavilion from here. You have to pass through several palaces and gardens in the middle. The largest and most deserted one is Yuquan Palace!

In this winter, no palace servant would stay in Yuquan Palace if they have nothing to do. It's freezing.

So, that was actually a good place for Bai Hengbo to make his move.

As for where He Xiao went, what did it have to do with him?

Bai Hengbo acted on his thought, waved his hand to call his men, and asked them to inform the various palaces to arrest He Xiao, and he took Zhao Song to Yindou Pavilion.

He had to put most of his troops in Shuangxian Palace to prepare for any eventuality. He only brought fifty people, and seven Qingwei under Qingyang.

That was enough. On the one hand, there would be palace guards joining in along the way, and on the other hand, Zhao Song only had a few followers. If he launched a sneak attack, he would have a good chance of winning ten against one.

Uncle should be gathering troops near the refugee camp in Tianshui City and preparing to attack the palace!

It was about to be the time for Qingyang to attack, and he had to rush back to cooperate after killing people.

The two of them had their own plans, but on the surface they talked about irrelevant things, and soon walked to Yuquan Palace.

There was no one at the entrance of the palace, only two half-lit fluorescent spores were hanging, which made the place even colder. The whole palace was like a big ice block with white steam coming out. Before people got close, they could feel the cold air blowing in their faces.

Who would want to get close to the cold wind and snow? But this was the only way to get to Yindou Pavilion.

Every night, a thick layer of ice formed on the ground and pillars of Yuquan Palace. Anyone who dared to sit on the stone chair for a long time would get his butt wet in a short while.

With such a strong cold, the palace was of course cold and deserted. Bai Hengbo led dozens of people to walk in Yuquan Palace. It was not pitch black here, because the palace was filled with milky white mist, and it was not clear two or three feet away.

Occasionally, one or two lights were darker than the entrance of the palace. It was obvious that the palace people were lazy and had not changed the lights for a long time.

It was a good place to kill at first glance.

Several Qingwei walked in front, intentionally or unintentionally forming a trend of encircling Zhao Song.

The west wind blew, making the spore lamp under the eaves sway, and the light also swayed.

Bai Hengbo suddenly pointed to the corner of the garden and shouted: "Someone!"

"Where?"

Zhao Song turned his head naturally, and there was an open door behind his neck.

Bai Hengbo quietly drew his sword and tried to wipe his neck.

But Zhao Song turned his head and rolled forward, jumping several feet away into the corner.

He had already secretly held a Qingyan talisman in his hand, and his body movements were three times more agile than usual. Before Bai Hengbo's sword was half handed out, he jumped out in a whoosh.

He was very self-conscious as a bait to save his life.

Several men immediately drew their swords to cover him.

"Kill!" Since the disguise had been torn off, Bai Hengbo would do it once and for all.

Two Qingwei took a step closer to Zhao Song, raised their swords and chopped, and they were also so fast that they left afterimages. But Zhao Song's goal at this moment was to save his life. Not only did he activate several protective magic tools, but he also grabbed a large shield without saying a word and blocked it in front of him.

The shield was nearly four feet high, standing higher than his waist, and as thick as a palm. Zhao Song leaned against the high wall and huddled behind the shield, protecting himself tightly and thoroughly.

The attacks of the Qingwei were like a torrential rain, pouring down on the shield.

Zhao Song felt as if the shield was trampled by a giant elephant. The enemy's strength was so great that his arms went numb, and then there was a "crack" and the shield cracked!

It was outrageous. He had Yuanli in his body, and this shield was not an ordinary product. How could it be broken by the Qingwei in one encounter?

Are the guards that Qingyang Jianguo brought with him so powerful?

The dozens of palace guards behind Bai Hengbo were all confidants, and they also rushed to besiege Zhao Song and several guards.

Their situation was precarious.

The mist seemed to be thicker, and it began to flow on the ground at some point. Everyone was covered by white mist below the waist, and their pants were wet.

When the battle reached the dark shadows of the trees, there was a sudden sound of fierce metal clashing!

There are people in the dark, and there are more than just Zhao Song.

At the same time, there were dozens of whirring sounds, the white fog was disturbed, and arrows were raining down on the road!

Oh no, there is an ambush!

People emerged from the rockery and the palace, and their shadows were dim. Because of the thick fog, Bai Hengbo could not tell the exact number of people at a glance. He only knew that he was surrounded, and his scalp was numb.

"Gather, rush out!" Bai Hengbo didn't care about anything else. He gave an order and turned around with his men and rushed out.

Just like he originally planned to use fifty-seven people to fight Zhao Song alone, the other party used hundreds of people to fight them in a group, and they were also sure to win.

The Qingweis said nothing and knocked down more than a dozen palace guards in an instant.

Those who originally attacked Zhao Song not only did not retreat, but instead added a lot of strength.

They did not obey Bai Hengbo's order and killed the leader first before leaving, which would only benefit the palace master's subsequent plan.

Bai Hengbo had already led his men to run a few feet away. When he looked back, he saw nothing but a vast expanse of white fog. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't see clearly beyond five or seven steps.

They only heard fighting sounds, shouting, and Zhao Song's curses in the fog.

Then, it was quiet.

Then Zhao Song slowly walked out of the darkness, his face covered in blood. The palace guards behind him were all back from Yongquan Villa tonight.

"Why are you..." Bai Hengbo pointed at him, his face full of doubt, "Your people are clearly in Shuangxian Palace!"

Otherwise, how could he feel at ease to bring Zhao Song here?

Who knew that the other party also took a fancy to Yuquan Palace and set up a killing here!

"Can't figure it out?" Zhao Song grinned, "If you can't figure it out, go to Jiuquan and think about it!"

This time it was his turn to point at Bai Hengbo, full of confidence:

"Kill!"

Damn it, he was almost killed by the Qingwei just now, if not...

A few hundred people fighting against more than fifty people, and it was a sneak attack. The first wave of arrow rain harvested seven or eight lives, so the result was basically no suspense.

Yuquan Palace had already set up a soundproof barrier, and the screams here could not be heard outside.

Several Qingwei looked at each other and rushed to Bai Hengbo to protect him and break out.

They were almost at the door, only a few steps away from getting out. Zhao Song secretly thought it was not good, and raised his crossbow to shoot, but the mist was disturbed again, as if something flashed by, and three Qingwei were missing at once.

No one could see clearly how they disappeared, and their calls also stopped abruptly.
