Chapter 229 Both hit the wall
Ji Zhong once told Xiao Beiheng before that he needed a famous sword to fight Xiao Zhuo.

Now that Xiao Beiheng has obtained Yan Que, the first thing to do is to ask Ji Zhong.

As for the Jingzhou Army in Yongwei City, the commander is dead. Although there are 7 troops, they are no longer a threat.

Before Ji Zhong could answer, Lin Kui interjected and said, "After he found out his identity, it would not be easy for him to have the courage to survive. If His Royal Highness meets him now, it will probably be as easy as killing a chicken."

"That's true, even if this son competes with Xiao Zhuo again, it will be boring."

Xiao Beiheng took the scabbard that the sergeant took off from Xiao Kai, and carefully inserted the Yanque sword into the sheath: "But this is the order of the father, and I, as a son, can't go against it. What's more, he used tricks to order Xiao Kai and me Kai Huobin, even if he is really a chicken now, I would never dare to let him go."

Hearing this, Lin Kui couldn't help being surprised, even Ji Zhong was also surprised.

The two asked in unison, "Why do you say that?"

"You think that this prince wants to hold this celebration banquet?" Xiao Beiheng hid the last gleam of the Yan Que sword into the scabbard, and held the sword together with the sheath in his hand, "Wrong, Xiao Zhuo forced this prince to do it. "

Both Lin Kui and Ji Zhong didn't understand why he said that, they both looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

Xiao Beiheng said: "Xiao Zhuo ordered all the [-] troops to fall to Xiao Kai, which is to make us fight. Xiao Kai has long wanted to occupy Liangzhou, now that he has the advantage in troops, he will definitely not give up with me. Fortunately, he has a good brain Simply come to the celebration banquet, if he is a little smarter and sends troops to attack me without saying a word, even if I win, I will lose both."

Lin Kui was puzzled and said, "My subordinates still don't understand, what is the difference between Xiao Zhuo's army surrendering to Xiao Kai and descending to His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Beiheng smiled, lowered his head and stroked the scabbard without making a sound.

Lin Kui's resourcefulness has never been enough, and he likes to make decisions without authorization.The reason why he stayed with him all the time was because of his medical skills.But now he has better options in this regard.

A person flashed out from the side and said to Lin Kui, "Let me explain to you, Your Royal Highness."

Lin Kui turned his head to look, and saw that the visitor was about 30 years old, wearing an azure robe, although he was bookish, but witty from his eyes, it was Song Zhen who had surrendered.

Seeing that it was Song Zhen, Lin Kui immediately felt seven-point disdain and three-point rejection.

What he disdains is that he is a general, and he has the nerve to jump out to show it.What is repulsive is that Song Zhen also serves as a military adviser on Xiao Zhuo's side, and his duties overlap with him.

Now that Song Zhen said that he could understand what Xiao Beiheng meant, wouldn't that prove that Song Zhen was better than him in this respect?

Song Zhen didn't care about Lin Kui's hostile gaze, shaking his wet lupine fan and said:
"If Xiao Zhuo sends the army to His Royal Highness, Xiao Kai will take it for granted that our army is going to attack Yongwei when he sees that our army is far superior to him and has occupied the three counties in the north. If he is short of troops, he may withdraw his troops and return to Jingzhou to regroup. There will be another battle every day, but it is impossible for His Royal Highness to stay here and fight with him. Xiao Zhuo ordered the army to surrender to Xiao Kai, and strengthened Xiao Kai's confidence in one fell swoop, so that he can rest assured to stop here and fight with us."

Only then did those who listened around suddenly realized.It turned out that Xiao Zhuo seemed to have failed, but his arrangement was so ingenious that he regarded Xiao Beiheng as his own army, finally eliminated Xiao Kai, and fulfilled his promise to the King of Xiliang.

Xiao Beiheng raised his head and looked into the distance: "That's right, at the beginning Xiao Zhuo promised the King of Xiliang to avenge the Mei family. Unexpectedly, he could use my hand to get rid of Xiao Kai in a certain defeat, and finally avenged the Mei family. I knew it was his plan, but I had to do it according to his idea."

Everyone finally understood why Xiao Beiheng vowed to hunt down Xiao Zhuo.

With such a terrible opponent, anyone would have trouble sleeping and eating.

Lin Kui was about to speak when Xiao Beiheng suddenly said, "Where's Momo?"

He vaguely remembered what Su Mo had said to her. At that time, he was concentrating on Xiao Kai, but now he suddenly remembered that he wanted to kill Xiao Kai to get Yan Que, but he had forgotten Su Mo.

A general next to him replied: "His Royal Highness, you have forgotten that the Imperial Concubine and Mrs. Xiao Kai have already left together."

Xiao Beiheng handed Yan Que to his right hand, and walked quickly towards Su Mo's tent, followed by Ji Zhong, Lin Kui, Song Zhen and others.

When he came to the awning in front of Su Mo's tent, Xiao Beiheng stopped and looked hesitantly at Su Mo who was blocking the tent door.

"Momo, you want to protect her?"

Su Mo looked directly at the Yan Que sword in his hand, and said, "Bei Heng, you have killed Xiao Kai. Seeing that the two states in the west are about to be settled, your goal has been achieved, so don't hurt her anymore."

Xiao Beiheng didn't answer, but pointed to Lin Kui with his eyes.

Lin Kui didn't understand what he meant, and because he didn't know why, Song Zhen stepped forward and saluted with fists together: "Concubine Shizi, Shen Lan is Xiao Kai's wife and Shen Yuexi's sister. If she is kept, I may cause trouble."

Su Mo squinted at him and said, "Who are you?"

Song Zhen said with a smile: "Returning to the concubine, the villain's surname is Song Mingzhen..."

"Song Zhen, you are so bold." Su Mo didn't wait for Song Zhen to finish speaking, she raised her finger and pointed at his nose, "You served Xiao Zhuo before, and Shen Yuexi was Xiao Zhuo's wife, your mistress. Now you are relying on my husband , intending to harm your mistress’s sister. A person who betrays the Lord and seeks glory has the face to stand in front of me!”

Song Zhen blushed, and hurriedly retreated into the crowd, not daring to say anything more.

Xiao Beiheng was speechless, and once again motioned to Lin Kui with his eyes.

Seeing Song Zhen deflated, Lin Kui was gloating.Seeing Xiao Beiheng winking at him again, he understood what Xiao Beiheng meant.He wanted Su Mo to hand over Shen Lan, but he couldn't speak up, so he planned to let his subordinates persuade Su Mo.

Although Su Mo has only been married to Xiao Beiheng for more than a year, Lin Kui knows very well that Xiao Beiheng loves her very much.No matter how spoiled he is, Su Mo can call him by his name directly, and when Su Mo is angry, Xiao Beiheng will even kneel down to coax her.

These unthinkable actions in Lin Kui's eyes all proved Xiao Beiheng's love for Su Mo.

Now he has nothing to do with his wife, so he puts the trouble on these subordinates.

Song Zhen was greedy for merit and was the first to jump out. Su Mo said a few words that made him lose his face.If he didn't know good from bad, he might be worse off than Song Zhen, but Xiao Beiheng wanted him to do it again.

No way, he stepped forward bravely and raised his hands.

He only squeezed out a smile that he thought was appropriate, but Su Mo didn't even let him open his mouth.

"Lin Kui, what are you doing here? Since you serve Beiheng, and I am Beiheng's main wife, I am your mistress. A mere subordinate who has done a little bit of work dares to come here to criticize your mistress. Is it because you are impatient and want me to cut off your dog's head?"

Lin Kui repeatedly nodded and smiled apologetically, and stepped back into the crowd step by step.

No matter how miserable Song Zhen was, he still said a few words.He didn't even open his mouth, and was scolded bloody.

Xiao Beiheng looked around and saw both Lin Kui and Song Zhen lowered their heads, knowing that they were hopeless.These two were counselors anyway, and they were reprimanded by Su Mo to the point of embarrassment, so it was even more in vain for the brainless generals under him to come up.

He was hesitating where he was, when a sergeant came to report in the rain.

"His Royal Highness, our cavalry found Xiao Zhuo's trail at noon, but they were blocked by his men and failed to catch Xiao Zhuo, allowing him to escape."

Xiao Beiheng said: "Which direction is Xiao Zhuo fleeing to?"

"The north has been blocked by our army. He fled to the southeast, towards the border between Liangzhou and Jingzhou."

"What about Xiao Zhuo's men?" Xiao Beiheng asked.

"Twenty-three of Xiao Zhuo's men died in battle, and the other three wounded were captured by us and brought here just now." The sergeant raised his finger and pointed to a certain direction in the camp.

"Very well, this son will pass now."

Xiao Beiheng raised his foot and walked towards the direction pointed by the sergeant.
