147. Piles Of Solider's Bodies

After a day and night, Han Tingxuan found out that he was besieged in the county office.

By three thousand soldiers.

The soldiers wore exclusive uniforms of the Imperial Court, but they only listened to an individual. There were three thousand or more of them.

It was late at night. No citizens dared to peek, even if they heard something!

Although Sun Yuan had decided to rebel, he did not intend to show his real ambition.

So...

"Prince Chen's husband has been assassinated. The one inside is a fake! Catch the fake one to avenge Prince Chen's husband."

"Sun Yuan! You are rebelling!" Liu Yong shouted angrily. "You're a liar! His highness is perfectly fine now in the house."

Sun Yuan did not even look at Liu Yong. After all, he only needed a decent excuse to rebel. Others did not need to know the truth.

"This person is also a fake! Go get him! And people inside the house!"

"Haha," Han Tingxuan finally appeared. Sun Yuan's face was clearly seen under the fire torches. "Official Sun, you can make such a big lie. You are..."

Sun Yuan's face froze. "Traitor! Don't think that you can fool us with the face of Prince Chen's husband. Prince Chen's husband had been murdered. You'd better quit your small trip! Go get him!"

Sun Yuan ordered his fellowmen to capture Han Tingxuan as quickly as possible, before anything unexpected happened.

There were more than three thousand soldiers, way powerful than a hundred guards. However, Han Tingxuan was not worried at all.

At this moment, hoof steps flooded over, which startled Sun Yuan.

Another army of a thousand of soldiers appeared.

When Sun Yuan saw the flag that was not the one on his side, he knew that he had fallen for the trap. However, before he came, he had already anticipated that this might happen.

However, Han Tingxuan would never have thought that he had a backup plan, would he? Sun Yuan looked at Han Tingxuan's reinforcements. Although he was not happy with it, he was not worried.

Han Tingxuan could not read Sun Yuan's facial expression especially at night. But the secret guard did.

"Lord, Sun Yuan doesn't seem to panic when he sees our reinforcements."

"Oh?" Han Tingxuan's eyes flashed.

At this moment, Sun Yuan ordered the soldiers who had broken into the county office. "Fire! Arrow! Kill them now!"

The secret guard was shocked and hurriedly took Han Tingxuan away.

There was no need for Han Tingxuan to stay at this moment. So he left with the secret guard.

The county office was set on fire, along with arrows.

Sure enough. Sun Yuan was well prepared!

However, Han Tingxuan was not unprepared. As there were smaller amount of them, Liu Yong ordered to protect Han Tingxuan while retreating away from the county office.

The thousands of reinforcements were fighting against Sun Yuan's three thousand soldiers.

However, Sun Yuan had already chase after Han Tingxuan, together with three hundred soldiers.

After Han Tingxuan was taken out of the county office by the secret guards, he rode horses to head the West Mountain with dozens of secret guards.

Soon enough, they could hear the sound of Sun Yuan behind him.

"Haha! Han Tingxuan! You are actually coming this way! Haha!"

Sun Yuan smiled smugly, even crazily.

At this moment, Han Tingxuan and his secret guards were surrounded.

In front of them, a thousand soldiers were stopping them. A thousand soldiers on left and right side.

Behind them were Sun Yuan and his hundred soldiers.

Han Tingxuan was besieged on all sides!

This was Sun Yuan's secret force, another army of about four thousand soldiers!

Han Tingxuan and others stopped. If they had to choose a direction to break out, there was no doubt that Sun Yuan's direction was a better option. Because there were only two or three hundred soldiers there.

But! There were only over ten secret guards who protected him. Even if their martial arts were powerful, how could they win a couple of hundred? It was impossible.

Shadow Four and Shadow Seven looked at each other, then Shadow Four said anxiously, "Lord, we'll take you out."

Compared to Shadow Four and Shadow Seven's anxiety, Han Tingxuan seemed rather relaxed.

Shadow Four and Shadow Seven were confused.

Was he crazy? Why was he so calm at this time?

Sun Yuan appeared before Han Tingxuan's eyes.

Han Tingxuan smiled. "Official Sun, is this your backup plan? Another army of a few thousand soldiers? What a surprise that you have hidden a lot of soldiers in this small State of Qing! I wonder if there are any more?"

"Han Tingxuan, just a few hundred of us are enough to crush you. I don't need any more. You'd better hand over my two sons quickly. Otherwise, you won't want to know how you will be killed."

Shadow Four scolded angrily. "Sun Yuan! You are asking for death! If anything happens to our lordship, your sons will be dead too!"

Sun Yuan snorted coldly. "Is that so? I would like to know if the Prince Chen's husband's life outweighs that of my two sons."

Han Tingxuan smiled. When fireworks appeared in the sky, the smile on Han Tingxuan's face became even brighter.

"You will find out whose life is more valuable soon."

Sun Yuan's eyesight was better than Han Tingxuan because he could clearly see the smile on Han Tingxuan's face.

"Han Tingxuan! Today you are going to die. Now you are still smiling. I'll see if you can smile later. Fire!"

On Sun Yuan's command, people were screaming behind Han Tingxuan.

Then, screams came from both sides!

Everything happened in an instant. Sun Yuan was shocked and saw that there were a few more armies behind his three troops!

There weren't many soldiers in those armies, only around two or three hundred.

In total, there were only one thousand people from three sides, who, however, shocked Sun Yuan!

"Royal palace warriors from City of Capital! Damn it! How can they be here? And there are many of them!"

Royal palace warriors were completely different from common security guards in City of Capital.

Although sometimes the security guards were also called the royal palace guards, but mostly they were security guards.

Security guards were nothing compared to royal palace warriors.

Ever since the previous generations, the total number of royal palace warriors was only three thousand, and each of them the most outstanding and royal warriors.

A single royal palace warrior could be as powerful as five to ten security guards!

These three thousand royal palace warriors had always belonged only to the emperor. Only the emperor could have access to control them, and only the emperor could order them!

These royal palace warriors were usually like shadows. When there was no mission, they basically focused on training.

They were responsible for the safety of the City of Capital and more of the safety of the emperor.

Although the three thousand royal palace warriors were not as secretive as secret guards, they were a hidden troop.

The troop was not something that ordinary people could compare to!

The emperor was not here! But there were a thousand of royal palace warriors out of only three thousand royal palace warriors!

Thinking about the terrifying combat effectiveness of the royal palace warriors, Sun Yuan looked sick.

People kept screaming, which mortified Sun Yuan. "Retreat! Retreat!"

At this moment, another troop appeared behind Sun Yuan. There were about three thousand soldiers in the troop. Actually, this was Sun Yuan's killer move.

It was a warm-up move that he had arranged armies to surround Han Tingxuan just now!

However, the arrival of these three thousand soldiers didn't make Sun Yuan feel secure. He drove his horse to gallop away!

"Cover me! To the bamboo forest in the west mountains!"

The three thousand soldiers protected Sun Yuan to retreat to the bamboo forest in the West Mountain.

Han Tingxuan was also struggling to avoid the attacks of Sun Yuan's soldiers. He and the soldiers were too close. Now, those soldiers were attacked by the royal palace warriors from behind or Han Tingxuan's guards in front. They either fought against the royal palace warriors from behind or fought against those in front. They chose to fight against those in front. And Han Tingxuan was their first target.

Shadow Four and Shadow Seven protected Han Tingxuan in the middle while other secret guards were not far away from.

At this moment, Shadow Two grabbed onto Han Tingxuan's shoulder and carried him to step on soldiers' heads towards the bamboo forest on the West Mountain.

At this time, most of Sun Yuan's soldiers were also fleeing to the secret tunnel in bamboo forest in the western mountain.

Sun Yuan had already run away. The others were not interested in Han Tingxuan.

Therefore, after Shadow Two had taken Han Tingxuan out of the battlefield, no one went after Han Tingxuan.

The rest secret guards of Han Tingxuan also used the same skill to catch up with their master.

However, even without Han Tingxuan in front of them, it was not so easy for Sun Yuan's soldiers to escape to the bamboo forest in the west mountain. Because the royal palace warriors were chasing after them!

In the end, only one in four Sun Yuan's soldiers successfully escaped to the bamboo forest.

They were already lucky enough because Han Tingxuan had ordered not to chase them anymore.

Otherwise, all those soldiers would have been killed on spot.

As Han Tingxuan scanned the piles of corpses on the ground, his fists clenched.

This was the battlefield, a battlefield of infighting.

After taking a deep breath, Han Tingxuan said softly, "Continue the second step, Jin Tao."

Jin Tao was the leader of the royal palace warriors.

"Yes, sire. At your service."

"Surround the bamboo forests! Fake attack," Han Tingxuan said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

In the bamboo forest on the West Mountain, Sun Yuan's heart was broken when he saw that only a thousand people had survived.

After about two quarters of time, a thousand more caught up. They were the soldiers who just had attacked the county office earlier. There used to more than three thousands of them, but now only half of them survived.

Sun Yuan's heart was broken as he lost so many soldiers.

At this moment, a soft voice said. "Husband."

Sun Yuan's eyes looked at the person tenderly. Among his family, his male wife was the only one he could save.

Sun Yuan held his male wife's hand. "Let's go! Let's go to State of Song."

Male wife Sun felt upset, but he was also touched. The only thing he was worried about was his two sons.

"What about Qiuzhong and Qiuyi..."

"Don't worry. They will be fine," Even they would run for their life like rats. Sun Yuan gritted his teeth and said firmly.

Male wife Sun didn't say anything else.

The army entered the tunnel and headed directly to the East mountain of State of Song.

At this moment, Han Tingxuan returned to the county office where the fire was already put out.

A small half of the county office was burned. The people inside were busy. Liu Yong and the guards were busy with cleaning it up.

When Han Tingxuan returned, Liu Yong and the guard leader immediately came over to plead guilty.

Han Tingxuan smiled. "Never mind. The county office has suffered quite a loss. You should focus on repairing the county office as fast as you can. This is the symbol of our court. You don't want to disgrace the government, right?"

"Yes!"

Official Wang was sent to Han Tingxuan. His hands were tied behind his back. He opened his mouth to say that he did not know about any of what Sun Yuan did.

Han Tingxuan was impatient to hear his nonsense. He told them to take him away.

Official Wang begged for mercy out loud. Han Tingxuan stood by the door and looked at the sky that had already turned bright.

"It's almost dawn. No wonder people often say that it's the darkest before dawn. It's true."

It was not that Han Tingxuan had never seen dead people. In fact, he had seen a lot. But it was hard to process when he saw with his owns bodies piled up one by one.

Even though most of them were enemies, they were human lives!

At this time, he received a message from Tian Yusu's messenger pigeon.

There was only one sentence: State of Song is in place. No worries.

Han Tingxuan took a deep breath. "Qian Yun."

"Yes, sir," Shadow Two appeared.

"Let's go to State of Qi!"

"Yes!"

After one night of war, Han Tingxuan did not feel tired at all.

Actually, someone had taken over everything in State of Qi. He just needed to wait for the results.

The persons who took over everything were Zhang Xiuqi and Zhang Qiao, arranged by Mo Yanzhi.

It was a surprise that the Sun family had trained so many soldiers in State of Song, State of Qi, and State of Qing.

It was a devastating loss for the Sun family!
