Chapter 42: Whereabouts Leaked
Li Ping was so happy that he almost jumped up when he heard Yao Guangxiao was willing to help. In the end, he kowtowed Yao Guangxiao three times in front of everyone regardless of shame. This was not the case. He also said that he would follow Yao Guangxiao's horse in the future. If King Xiang was here at this moment, he would definitely be angry with this shameless guy. After all, this guy worked wholeheartedly with just a few words of Yao Guangxiao. In contrast, he gave this guy a high official and generous salary, and he also saw that this guy was so loyal.
"Report! General Wu, we found the suspicious characters in the painting..."
"Did you see clearly?"
"We've seen it clearly, but..."
"But what..."
"Our people were all killed and they all escaped from the city."
Yao Guangxiao did not expect that Zhu Yunwen was even more powerful than he thought. Neither he nor the people behind him were as simple as they thought, otherwise they would not have found the secret whistle they arranged so easily.
"Mr. Yao, who is this? He is so bold..."
Yao Guangxiao looked at Li Ping, and then he had an idea in his mind. Needless to say, Yao Guangxiao used this Li Ping to achieve his goal.
"Li Ping, that bold person is the one you are looking for."
"What!" Li Ping stood up in surprise.
Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Li Ping, as long as you tell the Xiang King this news, you will naturally escape."
"Thank you, Mr. Yao."
After saying this, Li Ping left and said goodbye. On the one hand, he went to track down the prince Zhu Yunwen himself, and on the other hand, he sent someone to report the news to the King of Xiang. His actions could indeed escape the disaster, but he chose a dead end. Li Ping never thought that pursuing the prince would be so dangerous, and in the end he fell into the trap without realizing it.
"You go and get them all done, but I want to leave him a living person with the leader."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhao Fei led dozens of masters to rush towards the flock of sheep like hungry wolves. Li Ping really couldn't believe all this in front of him. He had brought a total of 500 elite soldiers, but these elite soldiers could not even resist a move when facing the prince's masters. In just one cup of tea, most of the five hundred elite soldiers were massacred. The rest were so scared that they ran away desperately. Their commander was so scared that his feet were weak, and finally he knelt on the ground.
"Don't kill me..."
"You two bring this guy to the Prince. Remember, the Prince has a lot to ask him."
“Yes, commander.”
Zhao Fei nodded to the two guards and rushed into the enemy formation. In this blink of an eye, he actually killed ten people in a row. He attacked the soldiers like a demon god and fled everywhere, and there was still a sense of resistance. The soldiers ran all the way and tried to escape from here, but how could they escape from the prince's net? Just as they were about to rush out of the valley, dense bows and arrows poured down like rain, and the five hundred elite soldiers did not even leave a single living mouth in the end.
Li Ping had been so scared that he had known that the prince was so powerful that he would not dare to chase him after him, but it was too late to say anything now. After all, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
"Your Highness, what is your name?"
"I……"
"You can't say it, but after I get the punishment, I won't have the chance to say it."
"No! I said..."
Li Ping dared not to confess under Zhao Fei's threat. He told everything he knew. As expected, he was the King of Xiang, but Wen Xing did not expect that this was a big conspiracy. A big conspiracy designed by Yao Guangxiao specifically targeted him began with the conspiracy Yao Guangxiao appeared in the King of Xiang Mansion. No matter what the letter he had never written before, the eagle who could eat the same kind, the rumors about him were murderous intent every step. The King of Xiang had no way back along the way. He would fight to the death with him no matter what.
"Yao Guangxiao, what a deep plan!"
"Your Highness, what you mean is that all this is Yao Guangxiao's conspiracy."
"That's right!"
Huang Ying suddenly remembered the Dragon Squad. It can be said that at this time, the Dragon Squad can only turn the world around. Finally, under her repeated requests, His Royal Highness sent a distress signal.
"Li Ping, I will give you a chance to survive. Only I will ask you one question and one answer. If I am satisfied with the answer, I can spare you."
"Your Highness, can I really not have to die?"
"Li Ping, as long as your answer satisfies me, you naturally don't have to die."
"Your Highness, please ask!"
His Highness the Crown Prince thought for a while and said, "How many people did the King of Hunan gather?"
"All thirty thousand people."
"What! There are 30,000 people." Huang Ying couldn't help but say.
His Royal Highness suddenly fell into deep thought, because he knew very well that if King Xiang had assembled so many people, he would never miss this great opportunity to get rid of himself. In this way, his troops would soon arrive. If he was not mistaken, it should be a large army and King Xiang would take action in person.
"Li Ping, I'll ask you if Yao Guangxiao is in Huadu?"
"That's right, Yao Guangxiao is indeed in Huadu and he told me the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's really Yao Guangxiao's fault." Huang Ying couldn't help but curse.
The prince thought for a while and said, "How many people are there on Yao Guangxiao's side?"
"At least five thousand men."
Zhao Fei couldn't help but say, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, why not attack Huadu now. After all, these five thousand soldiers are definitely easier to fight 30,000 soldiers."
"Zhao Fei, you were wrong. If it was really a fight, I would rather face this 30,000 troops."
His Highness the Crown Prince is to be honest. Yao Guangxiao's five thousand elite soldiers rely on the absolute advantage of Huadu City. Not to mention the little force of the crown prince, even the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Hunan King may not be Yao Guangxiao's opponent. However, the biggest possibility of His Highness the Crown Prince's adoption of Zhao Fei's method is to be attacked from both sides. Even if Yao Guangxiao only defends the city, no one soldier or even one soldier is out, the crown prince's men will definitely be eaten by the Xiang King's people little by little.
"Your Highness, how do you fight these three hundred to three thousand?"
"We have to fight no matter how we fight. Are we going to die here?"
Wen Xing suddenly had a good idea. He knew very well that Mingming was definitely not the opponent of King Xiang's 30,000 troops, but he still asked for it for a day and a half. In the end, he used the most powerful mechanism trap. With the equipment of Li Ping's 500 troops, it was probably enough to last half a day.
