Chapter 627: Don't think about it

In the heavy snow of goose feathers, a horseman entered the city. A layer of frost was formed on the iron-shelled hood. Not only the hat, but also the eyebrows and the temples were wet, as if they were washed by water. The cold water was pressed on the face and it was too late to wipe it dry. The hands held the reins tightly, and the spurs on the boots kicked the horse's belly desperately, like a gust of wind, leaving a horse's hoof print in the snow.

When he arrived at the Honglu Temple, the captain turned over and dismounted and whispered: "I'm urgent to report, go and invite the prince."

The lieutenant at the door did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately went in and communicated. Another person asked the lieutenant to come to the gatehouse and brought him a charcoal basin for him to bake.

"What happened?" Pao Ze naturally did not avoid it and asked directly.

It is not a secret military information, so there is no need to hide it. The person who came sat in front of the charcoal basin and baked his hands while saying, "Wu Wenzheng from the Third Battalion and Fourth Team was killed by the stone cannons of the Xixia people."

The captain of the concierge was stunned for a moment: "I know him, the one who always smiles. He has good riding skills and is also the top in the Third Battalion and Fourth Team. What happened? Damn, have you taken revenge?"

The lieutenant was all scholars and rarely spoke ill of erotic words. The lieutenant was also very angry. He cursed in Shen Ao's tone and clenched his hands hard.

At this time, the general lieutenant came over quickly and said, "Prince, please come over."

……………………

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Ao hurriedly brought Li Qing and others out, and still shouted: "Who is the military envoy of the Shenwu Army?"

Li Qing quickly followed and said, "I'm also a royal family."

Shen Ao sneered: "The royal family is going to pay their lives. If I don't go to find him, he actually came to the door. Hurry up, gather all the people and leave the city together."

Li Qing said afterwards: "Prince calms down, at this critical moment..."

Shen Ao gritted his teeth and said, "At this critical moment, if I don't give my brothers an explanation, I will not call him Shen Ao, but a turtle!"

Shen Ao quickly turned over the horse, then tied the reins of the horse and said, "If you want to take revenge, come with me!"

The several lieutenants at the gatehouse were originally observing the gatekeeper's duties, but at this time they ran to lead the horse. In just a moment, more than 100 lieutenants led the horse out and turned over, looking at Shen Ao.

Shen Ao pursed his lips and said nothing, and rode his horse wildly out of the city. The horse team behind him, led by Li Qing, caught up.

The biting cold wind blew so hard that people could hardly open their eyes. When Shen Ao arrived at the camp outside the city, his eyebrows and eyes were already covered with frost. He turned over and dismounted. From a distance, he saw the dark team outside the horizon roaring and practicing. He sneered, and the person behind him grabbed the horse and walked over deep and shallowly in deer leather boots.

Liu Dahai and several battalion officials immediately came out, and Liu Dahai said: "Why is the prince here in person? Just send a message..."

Shen Aosenran said: "Route, assemble, blow up the horns, and wear swords, guns, bows and arrows."

Liu Dahai hesitated for a moment and immediately returned to the camp to give orders.

Li Qing said behind him: "Prince... Although we took the lead in theory, if we really took action, we would be in the wrong. Besides, the prince is about to marry the Princess of Xixia, so let's bear it first, and the future will be long..."

Shen Ao said indifferently: "So I must be polite first and then soldiers. Li Qing, do you know that Li Dan?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment: "I knew each other before."

Chen Ao said, "You go there and tell Li Dan there that I will give him an hour, a stone cannon is twenty-three people, and I will beg for twenty-three people to deal with it. It would be fine if this matter is not the case, otherwise he will bear all the consequences!"

Li Qing had no choice but to say, "I'll try it out."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As one of the five armies, the Shenwu Army was released from the city at this time and was quite powerful. A large camp was set up on the edge of the martial arts land. In the large tent, Li Dan was already a little drunk. There were seven or eight charcoal basins and fur blankets laying in the big tent, which was warm as spring. Seven or eight Shenwu Army generals drank around Li Dan. Li Dan looked arrogant. The golden collar showed his identity as a royal family. The tiger-skin hat on his head showed his extraordinary identity. According to the Western Xia law, only the royal family could wear a golden collar, and the tiger-skin warm hat was only allowed to wear it in the vicinity of the royal family. These two things, like the fish bags in the Song Dynasty, are symbols of identity.

As the sect king, the people below were politely praised him. This time, he proposed to go out to perform martial arts and received praise from the emperor. Although Li Dan was not as arrogant as he was a little lustful, he became even more arrogant after drinking a few glasses of wine.

"Mr. Military Envoy, the Song people have not yet moved. I guess they have pinched their nose and suffered this loss and dared not come to cause trouble anymore. I think that the guy named Chen is so arrogant. He first bullied my border general in Daxia and then killed the Jin prince. Unexpectedly, he could not speak in front of the Military Envoy!"

The vassal generals took the opportunity to clamor, and some people even said, "What is Chen Ao? In front of the military envoy, it's not a bullshit. Don't say that he is a southern barbarian, even if he is the prince of our Daxia in the future, why should he be afraid?"

Li Dan was arrogant, and the goatee under his jaw also trembled. He sniffed the wine stains on the corner of his lips and sneered: "Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid. He is coming, just let the horse come over. My five thousand Shenwu Army flattened his Song army camp in an instant. It was just a stone cannon. Next time, it will be my Xixia warrior!"

Everyone laughed and said that the military envoy is worthy of being the descendant of Emperor Yuanhao.

Li Dan took a sip of wine and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Yanwu cannot bring women out, it's really boring to drink with his head."

As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior came in and said, "Mr. Military envoy, Li Qing, the chief officer of the Song army, asked for a meeting."

Li Dan curled his lips: "Which Li Qing?" Then he had an impression and sneered: "It turned out to be that thief, let him in and speak." He was still lying crookedly and did not give Li Qing any respect.

Li Qing stepped in and smelled the smell of alcohol. He couldn't help but frown and looked around at the crooked person in the tent.

Li Dan laughed: "What did Li Qing come here to do? Could it be a lobbyist for Chen Ao? It's also funny. Both descendants of Emperor Yuanhao, one of us is the military envoy of the Western Xia, and the other has become the lackey of the Southern Barbarians. How good is this lackey?"

Li Qing said expressionlessly: "I am here to negotiate with the military envoy under the order of the Prince of Penglai."

Li Dan said disdainfully: "Call your master and ask for forgiveness, and the Southern Barbarian should come and beg for mercy!"

Li Qing ignored him and said to himself: "Penglai County Prince said that within one hour, the army envoys would hand over the person who fired stone cannons and take them to Song camp to give the county prince an explanation. Otherwise, all the consequences would be borne by the army envoy!"

Li Dan was stunned for a moment, and his body leaned slightly in front of the table in front of him, looking at Li Qing with drunken eyes, as if he had heard it wrong. He was stunned for a moment, and then let out a terrifying laugh. When his smile came, the vassal generals in the tent burst into laughter.

Li Dan pointed at Li Qing and said angrily: "Dog, this is Xixia. What you see is the envoy of the Shenwu Army. Chen Ao is the son-in-law, and I, Li Dan, are the royal family of the Xixia royal family. I am the blood of Emperor Yuanhao. Let me apologize to him? Li Qing, are you confused as a dog?"

Li Dan suddenly stood up, kicked the table over and said word by word: "Don't think about it!"

Li Qing just smiled faintly and said, "My words have been brought to you. How to decide whether it is the military envoy? Let's say goodbye." After that, he pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist and turned around without hesitation.

The big tent was already in a mess. Li Dan spat hard at Li Qing's back, cursed the dog bone, and then lay crookedly on the skin, saying to the vassal generals: "Continue to drink."

A vassal general said hesitantly: "Mr. Military envoy, I'm afraid that Chen Ao can't be easily provoked. Since someone asked him to bring this sentence, he might not be sure to wait for an opportunity to take revenge later. Should I make some preparations?"

Li Qing sneered: "What? Maili, are you scared? Are you afraid of those southern barbarians?"

The general of the vassal said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid, but it's better to be more thorough in everything."

Li Qing curled his lips: "The Nanman will scare people. His lieutenant is only one thousand people. This is daytime and we can't attack at night. I, the six thousand warriors of our Shenwu Army, are you still afraid of him?" He took a sip of wine and continued, "I am afraid that this Nanman will not come. If he comes, he will just end him. At that time, the emperor will blame him, and it can be said that he was the first to cause trouble. Don't worry, even if something happens, the King of Yue will protect him. Don't worry."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Li Qing returned to the Song army camp. Before he could pass the gate, he saw through the fence that the black cavalry had already gathered. Everyone and the horse were not moving, waiting with breath. It was not until Li Qing appeared that there was a slight commotion.

Li Qing beat the horse to Chen Ao and whispered: "Prince..."

Chen Ao glanced at him and said, "What?"

Li Qing said: "Li Dan's answer is: Don't think about it!"

Chen Ao seemed to have expected this ending, and a smile appeared on his face. This smile was as cold as the north wind. He held the hilt of his waist and beat the horse before he hit the horse team. The captains automatically surrounded Chen Ao in the middle.

The Prince of Penglai never disappointed the lieutenants, and this time, it would not.

Each of his eyes fell on Shen Ao, with hope and indescribable heat.

Chen Ao raised his eyes and looked at his face that was almost condensed into ice. He took out the Shangfang sword from his waist with a whisper, and said, "Who is Wu Wenzheng?"

There was a silence, but many people repeatedly said this name. Not long ago, this bright boy was still having dinner with everyone with a smile. When he was happy, he laughed, and when he was angry, he also smiled on his face. So when he first joined the team, the coach couldn't help but kick his ass, thinking that this guy's attitude was too inappropriate.

And now, he could no longer laugh, lying in the barracks, sleeping forever.

Chen Ao said, "I recognize him, this guy..." Chen Ao said, "and he was foggy and smiled knowingly: "Sometimes when I see his face, I always want to come forward and kick him. He even laughed when I fell."

Some laughter came from the horse team, and this laugh was a bit bitter.

Chen Ao continued, "But now he is dead, and he is ignorant. He is my lieutenant, a disciple of the emperor, and your friend, brother, robes, and classmates. He is dead, covered in blood, and can no longer laugh. I only have one word to tell you, and the blood debt will be paid for! "

"Blood debt and blood repayment!" A roar broke out from the horse team.

Chen Ao said: "Send the order, from now on, the horse barracks will enter a state of combat. Everyone checks their arrows and armor again to determine whether their war horses have been fed horse materials within an hour. Our enemy is the Western Xia Shenwu Army, all of them will prepare!"

Chen Ao's face seemed to have been filled with frost for thousands of years. He summoned the camp officials and assigned tasks. Liu Dahai said a little apologetically: "Prince, if I had known that the prince would do this, I would have given the Xixia people some colors. I just wanted to calm down the prince..."

Chen Ao waved his hand and said, "You did nothing wrong, but the time and occasion were wrong. Today they can kill one of our lieutenants, and tomorrow they dare to kill the second one and the third one. If everyone wants to fear you, don't be afraid of the consequences."

After saying that, Chen Ao said to Li Qing: "How long will it take to close the Longxing Mansion Gate?"

Once the city gate is closed, it must not be opened unless it is dawn. Unless an imperial edict is issued, the palace city will be closed all the time. If you want to send the message in, you have to send the message out, and then go to open the city gate. I am afraid that it will be done in less than two or three hours.

Li Qing said: "There is one more hour."

Chen Ao wanted to take advantage of the city gates to launch a fierce attack on the Shenwu Army without restraint. As long as the reinforcements from Longxing Mansion cannot come out, they will have the power to fight.

Chen Ao looked at the sky and said, "It's still early, so brothers can rest first and then take a rest after they have enough energy." He said he would rest, and went straight to the big tent, and went to sleep alone to rest.
