Chapter 1742 1418. Negotiation failed

A few more days.

Outside Zhongxing Mansion.

Zhao Dongting led the Feilong Army to finally gather with Shi Kaiji's army.

Shi Kaiji, Zhang Guangbao and others went outside the military camp to welcome Zhao Dongting into the camp, and the two armies merged.

In Zhongxing Mansion, Luotuo has been missing for more than ten days. This made Wu Shangyun and others unable to sleep all night, and Luotuo's disciples were even more worried.

Although he was not sure what Luo Tuo was going to do, everyone knew that he had the greatest possibility of going out of the city to assassinate Emperor Song.

But for so long, Emperor Song had led his army outside the city, but the Dharma King was still missing. This naturally caused a bad feeling in Wu Shangyun and others.

On the evening of the evening of Zhao Dongting and Shi Kaiji, Zhao Dongting revealed the answer to Wu Shangyun and others.

Dozens of Flying Dragon Army soldiers galloped outside Zhongxing Mansion and threw Luo Tuo's body to the ground.

After they left, the defenders in the city opened the city gate and hurriedly carried Luotuo's body in. After confirming Luotuo's identity, Wu Shangyun and others rushed to the city gate.

All the great Xia generals changed their color.

Luo Tuo, who has the ultimate cultivation level, can be said to be their greatest support to resist the Song army, but now, this kind of support is gone.

Now the Yuan Dynasty's ordnances and reinforcements are still far away from Zhongxing Prefecture. They really don't know if they can stop the Song Dynasty's imperial guards.

Although the ordnances of the Song Dynasty imperial guards and the Western Xia army were not much different, even if they were all equipped with the Shenlong gun, the combat power was still very different.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty have never been defeated since their success in the vicinity. This is not a joke. When it comes to marching and fighting, no country dares to say that they are rivals of the Song Dynasty.

Even the Yuan Dynasty could only be said to have the strength to barely compete with the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this was due to their large number of soldiers.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty had hundreds of thousands, but they could reach more than one million troops. This sentence is no joke.

That night, Wu Shangyun and other Daxia generals joined forces to the palace and discussed Xu Chang with the disciples of Luotuo.

Until the next day.

Zhao Dongting personally led a large army to the outside of Zhongxing Prefecture.

He was wearing armor and a sword hanging on his waist, sitting on a tall white horse.

After arriving at the city, he raised his telescope and looked towards the city.

Many of the Great Xia generals such as Wu Shangyun stood at the top of the city, and his eyes quickly condensed on one of the rather haggard figures.

Then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Although Li Xiushu looked very haggard, she was finally not dead. This made Zhao Dongting breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as she is still alive, there will be room for improvement.

Immediately, Zhao Dongting slowly lowered his telescope, circulated his internal energy and shouted at the top of the city: "Where is the chief lieutenant in the city?"

Wu Shangyun yelled: "This general Wu Shangyun is here."

Zhao Dongting said again: "Master Wu, how do we talk about it?"

Wu Shangyun did not refuse.

After a few minutes, the suspension bridge at the end of the city slowly lowered. Wu Shangyun, wearing silver armor, rode alone out of the city.

Zhao Dongting took off the sword from his waist and threw it to Zhao Da next to him, and also slapped his horse and greeted Wu Shangyun.

The two quickly gathered and pulled the horse at the same time when they were only two meters apart.

Eyes meet.

There is a moment of silence.

Then Zhao Dongting said, "Let the empress leave the city, I will spare you all the time."

His domineeringness is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Wu Shangyun looked at Zhao Dongting deeply, and was silent for a while, saying, "Retreat fifty miles, otherwise I will kill the empress."

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you have the courage?"

Wu Shangyun said: "I know that the Song army is powerful, but Emperor Song, you and the Empress seem to have a good relationship, right? Do you have the courage to ignore her life?"

Zhao Dongting was silent and then smiled, "You should know that Daxia cannot stop my Song Dynasty imperial guards. As long as I am willing, you can destroy your Daxia at any time. You were originally a general of the Western Xia. If you are sincerely loyal to the empress, you can spend your life safely. Why do you have to do these fearless resistances now?"

"Oh."

Wu Shangyun sneered, "Even if I always serve allegiance, do you think the empress can allow our Wu family to continue?"

Zhao Dongting disagreed, "I don't want to mention the past, but as long as you choose to surrender and send the empress out of the city, I will protect your Wu family for a long time, how about?"

With his personality, he actually did not want to negotiate like this with Wu Shangyun. But in their hands, Zhao Dongting had no choice.

In his mind, the empress is more important than the capital of Xixia, let alone the Wu family. As long as Wu Shangyun agrees, he is really willing to let the Wu family continue to flourish.

Unfortunately, Wu Shangyun did not believe Zhao Dongting's promise.

He only said again: "If you retreat, it's better to burn your hands. Please let the Emperor of Song choose by yourself!"

He believed that things had reached this point and there was no room for improvement. Even if he surrendered and the empress regained control of Xixia, it would never be possible for them to live a way out for the Wu family.

Zhao Dongting showed murderous intent in his eyes, so he forced himself to suppress himself, "Marson Wu really won't consider it anymore?"

Wu Shangyun did not answer.

After a few seconds.

"good!"

Zhao Dongting spoke heavily and pulled back to the army.

Afterwards, Zhao Dongting, the imperial guard of the Song Dynasty, slowly retreated and returned to the military camp. Then he pulled out the camp and continued to retreat.

Shi Kaiji and others saw Li Xiushu on the top of the city and knew why Zhao Dongting wanted to retreat. From the beginning to the end, there was not much or less.

After Wu Shangyun, who returned to the city, talked about the content of his negotiations with the Luotuo disciples and the Daxia generals in the city, everyone in the city was very happy.

Unexpectedly, the empress, who was strongly advocated for the protection of the Dharma King, has now become their amulet.

In the joy, these people kept teasing and couldn't help but talk about the romantic affairs between Zhao Dongting and Li Xiushu that were circulated among the people.

Zhao Dongting, who led his army to retreat, always had a calm face.

After Jun Tianfang, Shi Kaiji and others learned about the negotiations, they all sighed in their hearts.

In order to save the Empress's life, he retreated fifty miles, and the losses caused were not mentioned. This is very likely to miss the best opportunity to siege the city.

The Yuan army sent reinforcements to the Zhongxing Mansion, which is not a secret now.

But what can they say?

Everyone knows that the emperor has made a decision in his heart.

The army is getting further and further away from Zhongxing Mansion.

After a long time passed, Jun Tianfang suddenly said to Zhao Dongting: "Emperor, why don't you and I enter the city tonight and rescue the empress?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head gently, "Those people in the city will be prepared."

He was not worried that Jun Tianfang and others would be in danger. After all, even if they fell, they would have the cultivation level of Zhenwu. They could not be easily dealt with by the defenders in the city.

What he was worried about was that Wu Shangyun and others would use Li Xiushu as a threat. At that time, Jun Tianfang and others would be afraid of the mouse.

Since coming to Xixia, dozens of masters from the Song Dynasty have paid the price of falling. He doesn't want them to pay their lives any more.

It is true that he loves Li Xiushu, but this kind of love is not a reason why he can ignore the safety of Jun Tianfang and other masters in order to save Li Xiushu.

Zhao Dongting couldn't do such a thing.

That night, Zhao Dongting led his army to camp about fifty miles away from Zhongxing Prefecture.

Under the moonlight, he and Liu Piaoxu snuggled in front of the big tent.

Liu Piaoxu raised his hand gently, flattened Zhao Dongting's deep frown, then arched in his arms, and asked softly: "How do you plan to save Sister Xiushu out?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head gently, "I don't know."

Liu Piaoxu thought for a while and said, "You should know that even if you lead the army to retreat, they will not let Sister Xiushu out of the city."

"them……"

When Zhao Dongting heard this, a light suddenly flashed through his eyes, and he was chewing these two words in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After only a while, he hurriedly pulled Li Xiushu into the tent.

Deep in the imperial palace in Zhongxing Prefecture.

There are many torches in the yard.

There were many Daxia soldiers guarding him, and Luotuo's disciples personally took charge of him.

At the door of a certain room, there were several pretty maids standing.

Empress Lee Soo-sook sat alone in the house, and as usual, she shrank herself in the corner of the bed.

On this day, her face no longer had a look of panic and helplessness, but a very strong joy.

She murmured to herself, "He's here...he's here..."

When she was at the city of Zhongxing Mansion, she saw Zhao Dongting who was approaching to negotiate with Wu Shangyun. That figure seemed to make her rejuvenate.

After a while, Li Xiushu suddenly stood up and walked towards the window.

Through the hazy window paper, she looked at the bright moon in the sky.
