Xuan Tianming said: "Since we can't break in from the outside, then we'll break in from the inside. Song Zhou City is difficult to enter, but that was in the past. Heng Heng, now that you have your space, husband will bring you to tear down Duan Mu An Guo's Winter Palace. Is that alright? "
It had to be said that Feng Yu Heng was a person that did not have a single cell in her that was content. Upon hearing that they were going to tear down the Winter Palace, the small flame in her heart began to dance. Fluttering, it caused her small face to turn red.
She grabbed Xuan Tianming's hand and happily said: "Alright, alright, I know the way. I can bring you there."
Xuan Tianming immediately smiled. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? With this girl present, he had gradually begun to smile more and more over the past two years. Being able to fight at home, and being able to fight on the battlefield, what sort of good karma had he, Xuan Tianming, accumulated in his previous life that the heavens had allowed him to pick up such a treasure.
The two had the idea of entering the city, and they did not want to waste a single moment. That night, they called all of the deputy generals into the commander's tent to discuss. Xuan Tianming spread out the map of the North. Targeting the area around Song Zhou, they carried out the tightest deployment.
At the same time, Feng Yu Heng also gathered the reconnaissance team to begin setting up a large scale, one-way trap. The battle with Song Zhou would begin sooner or later. When the time came, the army charging into the city was one thing, but the enemy's vanguard would definitely charge out of the city in pursuit. The mission of the reconnaissance team was to use these one-way traps to ensure that the enemies that charged out would not be able to return.
This deployment lasted from dusk until dawn. Only when the East began to light up did Xuan Tianming lift the curtain of Feng Yu Heng's tent and call out to her: "Heng Heng."
The commander of the reconnaissance team bowed and left. Feng Yu Heng went forward to ask him: "Have you finished arranging everything on your side?"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "It's all done. The army will remain in place for now. Wait for our news. Take a rest first. It won't be too late to leave after noon. "
But how could she have a good rest? After half a day, a large amount of chocolate was taken out from the space. Although it was still far from enough for everyone to have a piece, at least it could ensure that some people needed it. As much as possible, she took out the food that could increase one's physical strength from her space until the main tent was filled to the brim. Only then did she call for Song Kang and gave him all these things. She ordered him to cooperate with Qian Li and distribute them at the appropriate time.
Other than that, there was also a large amount of Western medicine left behind with Song Kang in case of an emergency.
She and Xuan Tianming left without a sound. Other than a few people close to her who knew, no one else knew how she left. The distance of ten li was not very far. The two of them did not deliberately choose a remote place to advance. In this kind of snowstorm, unless they were wantonly marching, the people above would not be able to see clearly if one or two people walked under the city walls.
But even if they could not see clearly, it was impossible for them to climb the walls of Song Zhou. When Feng Yu Heng pulled Xuan Tianming out of the space again, the two of them just happened to be standing close to the edge of the city walls. As far as the eye could see, there were chains hanging down from the walls. Each chain was nailed to the bottom of the snow and ice.
These were not ordinary chains. The outside of the chains was wrapped in a thick layer of ice. These chains densely covered the entire wall. From the looks of it, this situation didn't only exist on the southern wall. The entire Songzhou City should have been surrounded by these ice chains to prevent the enemy from climbing up. This was the advantage of the North!
Feng Yu Heng relied on her memory and said: "Not only are Song Zhou's walls tall, they are also very thick. I calculated that we cannot pass through the pharmacy's space, but we can go through the city gates."
Xuan Tianming slightly furrowed his brow and said: "Qian Zhou is most proficient at covering the city gates with ice that is as thick as the walls when the enemy attacks. Song Zhou City has people from Qian Zhou helping to protect it. Thinking about it, this tradition has also been used. But if my guess is correct, the ice should not be as thick as the walls. After all, the North is not as cold as the heart of Qian Zhou. It is impossible to find so many large pieces of ice. As for transporting it from Qian Zhou, it is even more impossible. That's why going through the city gates should work. "
Feng Shu Heng nodded. If it did not work, there was nothing that could be done. Now that they had already reached the city, they could only take a risk and give it a try. Hopefully, they would not appear directly in the ice. That would truly be unlucky.
This time, Feng Yu Heng placed her right hand on her left wrist the entire time. This was to ensure that if Yi Fan squeezed through the ice, she would be able to return to the pharmacy immediately.
The two had made this trip with the mentality of making a bet; however, who knew if it was the blessing of the heavens or the good karma of their ancestors. Although there was a slight error in the calculation of the thickness of the ice, when the two came out, they happened to be stuck in a gap between two layers of ice. The gap was not small, and it was just large enough for the two of them to squeeze through.
Feng Yu Heng did not say another word. With a thought, she quickly pulled Xuan Tianming into the space once more. When the two reappeared in the real world, they had already successfully passed through Song Zhou's city gates and were standing in the streets of the city.
The heavy snowstorm caused all of the people in the city to close their doors. Even the shops on the streets could not be closed. The two rushed in the direction of the Winter Palace, appearing and disappearing from time to time. Even if there were soldiers patrolling the city who saw their shadows, they felt as though they had been blinded by snowflakes.
Finally, when they were less than 50 paces away from the Winter Palace, the two did not directly walk out of the space. Instead, they took a deep nap in the resting room to recover their energy. When they reappeared, it was already the morning of the next day.
Today, there was still a Dashun official who was about to be executed by Duan Mu An Guo at the entrance of the city. After the execution, he was hung on a hook and placed outside the city walls.
At this moment, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng were crouching in a two-story building across from the entrance of the city. Below them, there were quite a few people standing. Song Zhou, which had quieted down due to the snowstorm, was once again bustling with noise.
Feng Yu Heng pointed at the person who had already been tied up in the middle of the execution ground and quietly said: "I recognize that person. He's an official from Tai An Prefecture. Apparently, he's standard seventh rank. That day, after I burned down the palace, he chose to escape with a group of people. Later on, he was captured by Duan Mu An Guo. "
Xuan Tianming nodded, "I have a bit of an impression of him. I recognize the prefect of Tai An Prefecture. There was a time when I passed by Tai An Prefecture on official business, and I stopped by the prefecture for a chat. I saw him."
While the two spoke, someone had already placed a tool of torture on the official's head. It was like a piece of oil paper, and it was placed on his head. Seeing that the official had not yet taken a breath, and there was no way for him to breathe again, he was about to suffocate to death. At this time, Xuan Tianming's right hand, which had been placed on the roof the entire time, was suddenly raised. At some unknown time, the thick snow under his hand had been rolled into small balls. With a flick of his finger, the balls flew toward the executioners one after another.
Feng Yu Heng covered her mouth and smiled. Pulling the person at her side, she immediately disappeared into the space.
When she reappeared, she was already on the roof of the building across from them. Xuan Tianming once again sent out snowballs, and a few more people were hit. The pain caused them to hold their heads with both hands, and blood flowed out from the gaps between their fingers.
After this happened a few times, the people began to feel afraid. They gave up on the search and began to retreat back to the Winter Palace. As for the imperial examiner, after Xuan Tian Ming threw out an ice stake, the ropes that bound his body were broken. He was not stupid. Hearing the sound, he knew that something had happened around him. Now that his body was free, his first reaction was to quickly remove the oilcloth covering his head.
Once the oilcloth was removed, he recovered his breathing. Kneeling in the snow, he gasped for breath.
At this time, the two people on the roof had disappeared once again. No matter how many people the Winter Palace sent out to search, they could not find a single trace of them.
That day, a total of 12 officials from Dashun were brought out of the Winter Palace's dungeons. Duan Mu An Guo's subordinates used all sorts of methods to kill them, but they were unable to do so. Every time, a mysterious hidden weapon appeared, but in the snow, they could not see the assassins.
This matter finally attracted Duan Mu An Guo's attention, but even if he personally went out, he could not find out the truth.
That day, for the first time, there were no corpses hanging from the walls of Song Zhou.
At this moment, Xuan Tianming was holding Feng Yu Heng's hand, sitting in Duan Mu An Guo's Winter Palace and admiring the plum blossoms. The white snow and plum blossoms stood proudly in this fierce wind. It was too beautiful to behold.
It was just that the conversation between the two did not match the current situation at all. Feng Yu Heng said: "Always setting a fire is too uncreative. Think of something else."
Xuan Tianming said: "If there was something else, I would have used it long ago. But I feel that setting fire is the most representative. How about you think about it."
She pondered for a while, "How about using poison? I have a type of poison that can make everyone sleep for three days and three nights. No matter how much you call them, they won't wake up. After three days and three nights, they will naturally recover without the need for an antidote. What do you think of this idea? "
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Very good."
"Then it's decided. Tonight, we'll poison them. Tomorrow morning, we'll open the gates to welcome the army into the city. As for the divine archers from Qian Zhou … … Husband, the gift that I gave you, I feel that you should properly practice it. "
With Xuan Tianming practicing his marksmanship, Feng Yu Heng found live targets. No matter what, the divine archers from Qian Zhou on the walls of Song Zhou could not understand how they had died. They just felt a chill at the back of their heads, and their lives disappeared without a trace.
The twelve divine archers that Qian Zhou had lent to Xuan Tianming had all been taken care of by Xuan Tianming. When the two were putting away their guns in the space, Xuan Tianming said: "If we were not so close, I fear that I really would not have been able to hit them. This thing is not easy to practice."
Marksmanship was indeed not easy to practice, but it was still a skill. It would be a bit better with more practice. It was just that the two were currently thinking about something else. Duan Mu An Guo had not returned to the Winter Palace tonight.
They had searched the entire Winter Palace but could not find even a trace of Duan Mu An Guo. They had even killed so many of Qian Zhou's divine archers and paralyzed all of the enemy soldiers on the walls. They had even deliberately let go of a messenger, but Duan Mu An Guo had not appeared.
All of Song Zhou City fell into an unprecedented silence once more. It was as though this was originally a dead city. There was nobody attacking, and there was nobody defending. Da Shun's soldiers could come and go as they pleased. There was nobody to stop them, and there was nobody to stop them.
Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng stood side by side on the city gate tower. An unprecedented sense of danger rushed over them. Gradually, the city walls beneath their feet began to tremble. Very quickly, it was as though the earth was rumbling. Feng Yu Heng opened her eyes wide and looked down. Just as she lowered her head, she felt her mind go "boom," as it immediately exploded.
