Chapter 396                                                             

Lee Bong and Lee Young also accompanied the army, but the two hid very well, covered their faces and stayed in the carriage without showing up.

All around the carriage were his two close subordinates, protecting the carriage tightly without leaking water.

It is not clear about the changes in the prefecture of Pyeongchang County.

When people saw a large number of provincial government troops coming to Pingchang City, they all felt that these were reinforcements sent by the provincial government.

Your Highness is now fighting against the army of the Taungzhi tribe in Xiaoyang Kingdom.

The other party was coming in full force, with a group of 100,000 troops.

The state prefecture was worried that His Highness would be in trouble, so it was completely reasonable to send reinforcements.

Yuan Que, the chief of the Pyeongchang County, took the county officials out of the city to greet him.

Looking at the oncoming army, the county officials all smiled.

People nodded secretly, but the prefect is still so powerful! After going to the prefecture, they actually moved back so many reinforcements.

Looking at the team's vast formation, there were probably at least 20,000 soldiers.

The state prefecture army stopped in front of a group of county officials.

Cao Ren, Yu Pengfei and others walked over.

Seeing Cao Ren, the governor of Liangzhou Prefecture, Yuan Que and others immediately intervened and said in unison: "Governor of Caozhou Prefecture!"

When talking, people were also looking around to find Zhang Hong's figure.

But after looking around, I couldn't find Zhang Hong.

Everyone was puzzled. Where did Taishou Zhang go?

Didn’t you go back to Pyeongchang County with reinforcements?

Just as people were curious, Peng Fei, who was standing beside Cao Ren, suddenly rushed to Yuan Que with a quick step. At the same time, he pulled out his knife and stabbed him.

The county chief Yuan Que didn't even figure out what was going on, and was stabbed in the chest by Peng Fei with this sudden stab.

His eyes widened in disbelief, with surprise and confusion on his face, and his body fell straight down.

Peng Fei waved the knife in his hand forward and shouted loudly: "Kill! No one left!"

The followers around Cao Ren, when he heard Peng Fei's order, drew their swords and rushed up one after another.

These people are like tigers coming out of the cage, killing them when they see them and chopping them when they see them.

All the county officials were completely confused.

Many people, like Yuan Que, died tragically under the opponent's sharp blade before they could react.

Cao Ren retreated repeatedly and hid far away, fearing that the killing would affect him.

The defenders on the top of the city naturally saw the incidents that happened outside the city.

People stood on the city wall, holding arrows, and were as stupid as wooden chickens.

I don’t know who it was, so I reacted first and screamed: “Beat the gong! Beat the gong!”

The sharp screams that changed their voice finally woke up in a dream.

A soldier hurriedly picked up the hammer, aimed at the huge gong, and repeatedly slapped hard.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang-

The sound of the gong continued to sound.

The county troops in the city also planned to close the city gate, but it was too late.

A large number of state government troops flocked in along the open city gates.

The county army guarding the city gate was killed and fell to the ground by groups of state and government troops.

A large number of county troops fled into the city in panic.

The incidents in Pingchang City soon alarmed the Xingwangfu Army and Zhengwangfu Army stationed outside the city.

When he was in the prefecture, Cao Ren once asked Zhang Hong if there were no soldiers in Pingchang City. At that time, Zhang Hong did not tell the truth to Cao Ren.

In fact, the Xingwangfu Army and the Zhengwangfu Army, a total of 20,000 people, did not follow Li Yu into the Xiaoyang Kingdom to fight, but remained outside Pingchang City.

When he heard that Pingchang City was suddenly attacked by the prefecture army, the Xingwangfu army and the Zhengwangfu army were both shocked.

The soldiers of the two armies immediately responded, and the 20,000 troops set out to the camp and headed straight for Pyeongchang City.

Although they had sent troops fast enough, when they arrived at Pyeongchang City, the prefecture army had successfully entered Pyeongchang City and occupied the city gate and even the city wall.

The 20,000 royal palace troops were shot by arrows from the Shangzhou government troops on the top of the city before they rushed to the front of the city.

At the same time, the prefecture army entered the city and headed straight for Li Yu's Wu Prince's Mansion.

Before the state prefecture army arrived, spies from flying guards rushed into the Prince of Wu's Mansion.

The spy went straight to Tao Xiying's yard.

At this time, he didn't care about anything or suspicion. He forced his servant away and rushed into the main room with great strides.

Tao Xiying, as well as Luo Yao, Wanqing, Cai Yuan and Manqing, four maids, were all shocked by the stranger who suddenly broke in.

Luo Yao scolded angrily: "Bold madman! Who is the one who will allow you to break into the lady's boudoir without authorization?"

The spy immediately took out the flying guard token, intervened and saluted Tao Xiying, and said anxiously: "Ms. Tao, the enemy has attacked Pingchang City and is now coming to the royal palace. Miss Tao will leave quickly!"

In one sentence, everyone present made their faces change drastically.

Manqing stammered: "Hu...hu nonsense! Where did the enemy army come from?"

You must know that Li Yu is fighting in the Xiaoyang Kingdom now. If there are people from Xiaoyang coming to attack Pingchang City, your highness will not know, nor will he not send someone back to warn in advance.

The spy said anxiously: "It's the Liangzhou Prefecture Army!"

Tao Xiying stood up and asked with a frown, "You mean, is the Liangzhou Prefecture Army who is attacking Pingchang City now?"

“That’s right!”

“Why?”

"The villain guessed that it was Cao Ren... Cao Ren betrayed the court and surrendered to the Nine Kings. Then he led the prefecture army to attack Pingchang County!"

All four little maids were gasping for breath.

Did Cao Ren betray the court?

Isn’t he the confidant of the new king Li Ju?

Tao Xiying asked: "Where is Taishou Zhang?"

"The whereabouts are unknown!"

"Where are the other officials of the county government?"

"Yei...Yei has been killed!"

Tao Xiying's face showed a look of panic.

But soon, her expression returned to normal.

She said anxiously to the four maids around her: "Immediately call everyone in the royal palace, and also invite Princess Xing and King Zheng to the lobby!"

"Yes! Miss!"

The four maids responded with trembling voices and stumbled outwards.

Seeing this, Tao Xiying scolded angrily: "Why are you panic?

The enemy's knife hasn't hit us yet!"

The Feiwei spy who reported the news nodded secretly.

This Miss Tao is worthy of being the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. She is calm and calm and can really make her look unchanged until Mount Tai collapses before her.

The mistress of the royal palace must have such a style!

Tao Xiying took a deep breath, turned her mind, and said, "What's your name?"

"Report to Miss Tao, villain Li Jun!"

"Li Jun, how many flying guards are there in the royal palace?"

"Less than a hundred people!"

"Where is the Iron Guard?"

"Also... less than a hundred people!"

"You inform Feiwei and Iron Guard and immediately bury all the money saved in the royal palace's silver warehouse in the back garden."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned the collar buckle and put forward a string of three copper keys tied with red thread from her collar, handed them to Li Jun, and said, "This is the key to the Yinku, go quickly!"

Li Jun took the key and said anxiously: "Miss Tao, you should leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"Since the enemy has entered the city, even if I escape immediately now, it is too late! Besides, I am the fiancée of the King of Wu and half of the mistress of the King of Wu's mansion. Anyone can escape, but I can't. Even if I die, I will only die here!"

Tao Xiying said firmly.

Then, she urged: "Go quickly! You can't let this money fall into the hands of the Nine Kings! Only by protecting this money can your highness have a chance to turn things around!"
