Return of the Swallow

In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and a long-lost heavy rain was coming.

Outside Xihua City, the exhausted Dayan soldiers were all asleep, and there were only a few waves of patrolling groups walking around the camp.

Suddenly, there were several swooshing sounds of breaking through the air, and before the soldiers on patrol could respond, arrows were shot in their necks, and they fell down before they could make a sound.

In the darkness, hundreds of big men were holding steel knives, and black panthers rushed into Dayan's camp as quickly as possible, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was sleeping with their knives.

The long-term battle made the soldiers exhausted, and they managed to repel the enemy army before they could rest assured to sleep. Who would have thought that this was deliberately done by the Hu Ben army?

Many people had their heads cut off in their sleep, and nearly a hundred people were killed by the Hu Ben army. Only one person who was awake from sleep felt that something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he saw the group of people holding bright blood knives. 's enemy.

"what--"

"Someone robbed the camp!"

"Oh my God! General Wang was killed!"

...

There was chaos in Dayan's military camp, the sound of hacking and killing continued, and in a flash, fires erupted everywhere, screaming again and again...

A battle lasted until dawn. In the drizzle, Pang Xiao led an army of 100,000 tigers into Xihua City, quickly occupied the government office and the granary, took over the city defense, and imprisoned all the important officials and their families who survived in Xihua City. The troops were heavily guarded, and the prisoners were uniformly arranged into prisoner-of-war camps.

At the same time, Pang Xiao issued several military orders.

"The Hu Ben army is not allowed to loot the property of the people in Xihua City, not allowed to rape | ** female, not allowed to trample on the fertile fields, if there is daily needs, it can be traded, and it is not allowed to default on credit. 100 sticks." He pointed to the two ashes-faced men kneeling in the tent, and said again: "These two rapists|**girls, pull them out and deal with them by military law, as an example!"

"Yes!"

Someone immediately obeyed and pulled the two disheveled men down, and soon, the sound of sticks to meat came from outside the account.

Zheng Pei frowned and said disapprovingly: "My lord, punishing the soldiers like this will probably make the Hu Ben army feel chills. They fought bloody battles with you, but these are just trivial matters. Why do you want to do this? A hundred army sticks will cost people their lives. !"

Pang Xiao's black armor is stained with blood,

There are still brown blood spots on Jun's face, his long eyebrows are slanted, and his phoenix eyes are slightly squinted. At this moment, the fierce evil spirit around him is blowing towards his face, as if the evil spirits came out of hell, a bit more than usual. Majestic momentum.

Zheng Pei lowered his head, and the rest of the generals and captains of the Tiger Ben Army in the account were also awe-inspiring.

"So, does Mr. Zheng have a secret decree from the Sage?" Pang Xiaoyu smiled.

But these words stopped in Zheng Pei's ears, but they seemed to slap him directly in the face.

He is Pang Zhongzheng's staff and Pang Xiao's cronie, so he can gain a firm foothold in the Hu Ben army as a counselor.

Zheng Pei was well aware of the adoration and trust of the soldiers of the Hu Ben army to Pang Xiao. It can be said that if the 100,000 Hu Ben army was mobilized, even if the sage did not give him a soldier talisman, if Pang Xiao poked into the army, it would be a living soldier talisman. His words were even better than the real soldier talisman. Works.

If these people know what he has done, it will reduce his prestige. Even if he is close to the Holy Spirit, there is nothing wrong in principle, but emotionally he is still a betrayal.

The emperor is suspicious, even if he tells the truth, the emperor may not fully believe him.

Although Pang Xiao is also wise and cunning, he has a heart of benevolence and righteousness. As long as he behaves well, he will definitely be sheltered.

Therefore, Zheng Pei's attitude at this moment is completely different from before, and he quickly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is joking, where is there any secret message from the Holy One. This old man is only worried about His Highness and thinks of His Highness. After all, all of the Tiger Ben army belong to His Highness. direct line."

Pang Xiao paced in the tent, the whip in his hand pulled out loud whiplashes one by one.

"In this battle, we and Dayan are fighting to the death. The sage is determined to win Dayan, and to capture Dayan in the future, do you want to die, a piece of wasteland?"

Zheng Pei, Hu Zi, and the rest of the generals in the tent all looked at Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao stood in the first place, holding on to the hilt of his sword and said, "This king has decided to make preparations for the sage to rule Dayan in the future. Emperor Yan is incompetent, and the people have lived under oppression and hunger for many years, coupled with years of war. The misery is unbearable, they will need someone to end this troubled world. If our people are worse than their Dayan people, what do you think the people will do?"

"Your Highness is wise."

Everyone understood, and Qi Qi bowed his hands in admiration.

Seeing this, Pang Xiao nodded and said, "Everyone who worked hard today, let's go and rest."

"Yes."

The generals saluted and retired, and after a while, only Pang Xiao and Hu Zi were left in the tent.

Hu Zi came forward with a smile to help Pang Xiao remove his armor, "My lord, I just ordered someone to prepare hot water, so hurry up and take a shower."

"Well. Is there any news from Kyoto?" Pang Xiao asked, neatly taking off his blood-stained shirt, revealing his hardcover upper body, wearing black silk trousers and walking towards the screen, there was a sound of water.

Hu Zi rolled up his sleeves and waited for Pang Xiao to wash his hair and wipe his back, "It's been a long time since there was no news from Jiyun. But our spies just sent the news, and the prince was busy fighting, so I didn't say anything."

Pang Xiao stretched his arms and rested on the edge of the barrel, closed his eyes and said, "There is no news from Jiyun, which means that the situation in the Qin family is very tense. With Yuchi's old dog's temperament, maybe when he hears the news of my war here, he will be angry with him. The Qin family is gone. Qin Taishi is afraid that his official position will not be guaranteed, and even his life is worried. It is the Cao family..."

Pang Xiao paused for a moment before continuing: "I'm afraid Yuchi old dog can't think of anything, even if he wants to use the unreachable land of Tartar, the Cao family will definitely be restored."

Hu Zi wrapped his hand in a towel and wiped Pang Xiao's back, and said with admiration: "Master really expected things like God, isn't the scout's response as you analyzed, Cao Guozhang bullied him and was named the crown prince again. , Mr. Qin was sacked from all official positions, kept his title, and was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. We sneaked up on the right sentry camp of their fifth army camp, scaring the people to run into the city, and the Emperor Dog refused to pay money to support him."

Speaking of this, Hu Zi said a little nervously: "Fourth Miss, that, that..."

"If you have anything to say, why are you like girls."

Hu Zi rolled his eyes secretly and thought to himself: I told you not to be angry, old man.

Immediately, he told Pang Xiao how Qin Yining sold the treasures in Ning Yuan and how to settle the refugees.

Pang Xiao was silent when he heard the words.

Hu Zi silently continued to wait on Pang Xiao to wipe his back, not daring to say a word, and secretly guessing whether the prince was about to explode with anger.

Who knew it was only a moment before Pang Xiao burst out laughing.

Oh hey, isn't the lord confused by his anger?

Pang Xiao said: "Sister Yi is so good at spending money, it seems that this king has to find a way to save more money for his wife, otherwise in the future, what if I don't have enough money?"

Tiger...

"You will order tomorrow to arrest those corrupt officials in Xihua City, as well as those rich and unkind lords who have been dubbed by the common people as 'skin', 'Ye Wang', and 'Mancang', etc. Those who resisted particularly fierce dangers were all arrested outside and showed their heads to the public, and their property was treated like army pay. Then, find a way to praise the news and spread it to the capital."

Hu Zi was stunned when he heard the words: "My lord, didn't you just say that you want to make the people of the Yan Dynasty feel that we are kind?"

"This king has his own reason, you just follow the instructions."

Although Huzi didn't understand, he still nodded seriously: "Yes."
