Chapter 68: Counterattack

He returned to the barracks quietly with two hostages.

He came to the outside of General Sun's tent and heard the people inside talking with his super hearing.

Wu Zhi: "General Sun, this Tang Shi is very strong, can your people really do it?"

Sun Xing: "Why not? No matter how strong Tang Shi is, he is only one person after all. I sent more than 20 people, all of whom are excellent archers."

"Based on my understanding of Tang Shi, he is now full of the people of Xiaoye City. He must be in a hurry to get on the road and will not be too defensive. Don't worry, my people will definitely bring back Tang Shi's body."

Sun Xing seemed to be drunk, and his words were full of pride.

"No matter how powerful Tang Shi is, he would never have thought that he would be ambushed by his own people. He is a man of great talent, but he doesn't know how to behave. Otherwise, he could be a great help to us."

"General Sun is right. We are so sorry for you this time. Otherwise, Tang Shi would have ruined our plans."

"It's all because Tang Shi is too aloof. In this world, this is his death warrant!"

Tang Shi clenched his fists as he listened to the laughter of the people in the tent.

He picked up the spear, walked out aggressively, and kicked the soldiers outside the tent into the tent.

"Sun Xing, Wu Tzhi, I will arrest you and bring you to see His Majesty!"

"I want His Majesty to have a good look at your faces."

Tang Shi didn't say much and started fighting with Sun Xing directly.

Although Wu Zhi knew some fighting skills, he was no match for Tang Shi. When he saw the fight, he quietly tried to crawl outside the tent.

Just when he reached the door, he was dragged back by Tang Shi.

He did not give up. While Tang Shi was fighting, he continued to quietly crawl forward. When he reached the door, he was dragged back again .

Was Tang Shi playing a trick on him?

Every time he waited for him to reach the door, he would drag him away.

He stopped crawling and shouted loudly: "Oh no, General Tang has an epidemic that hurt his head. He's crazy!"

Such a big commotion had already been heard by the soldiers in the barracks.

Many people saw Tang Shi pressing Sun Xingda when they arrived, and they subconsciously wanted to pull Tang Shi away.

But Tang Shi was too strong, and he fell one after another.

In the end, Tang Shi was controlled by the human wave tactics.

Tang Shi's subordinates grabbed Tang Shi tightly.

"General, calm down!"

"This is General Sun Xing. If you hurt him, you will be punished!"

"Yes, General."

Sun Xing was almost beaten to death by Tang Shi. He was supported by his own men and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Tang Shi, are you crazy?"

"Sun Xing, you are crazy. In order to prevent me from stopping you from burning Xiaoye City, you actually sent someone to kill me!"

Hearing Tang Shi's words, Tang Shi's subordinates were horrified.

"General Sun, how could you do this?"

"What did I do? You said I sent someone to kill you, where is the evidence?"

Tang Shi sneered: "Of course I won't slander you with empty words."

He brought two witnesses over: "They are the evidence."

The two men's legs were weak when they saw so many people, and they knelt on the ground crying.

"I don't know anything, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Several of us brothers were shooting wild geese outside the military camp, and somehow we offended General Tang. General Tang actually killed more than ten of us brothers, and also captured us, tortured us severely, and insisted that we say that it was General Sun who sent us to kill him."

"We were so scared that we could only pretend to agree. We didn't do that. We just wanted to shoot a wild goose to eat."

"Yes, yes, we really didn't want to kill General Tang. I've heard that people who have the plague become unconscious. I think General Tang is already terminally ill!"

Tang Shi's subordinates were furious after hearing this: "Nonsense, our general didn't have the plague at all, and he wouldn't kill people indiscriminately. You must have joined forces to assassinate our general, but you didn't expect that you were not strong enough and were killed by our master!" "That

's right, our master won't kill innocent people."

Sun Xing said loudly: "General Tang, is this the evidence you are talking about?"

"You tortured two soldiers severely, and wanted to establish a private punishment and force me to death. I am an official appointed by the court. If you want to kill me, it should be your majesty who kills me. You have no right to kill me privately."

Tang Shi didn't understand that he was being plotted.

He underestimated the enemy. He always thought that Sun Xing was a brainless and reckless man. He didn't expect Sun Xing to be so meticulous.

From the beginning, he left a way out for himself, so that even if the plan to assassinate him failed, he could still retreat unscathed.

Instead, he suddenly went crazy and killed two "innocent" soldiers.

"General Tang, you are obviously not fit to work with us in this state. I will ask the higher-ups for instructions. You should take a rest first."

Sun Xing wiped the wound on his face with his hand, and showed him a rampant smile, not taking the Tang family army seriously at all.

The people around Tang Shi wanted to hit Sun Xing angrily, but were stopped by Tang Shi.

"Sun Xing, I won't let this matter go. I'll write to His Majesty, saying that as long as I'm here, you won't be able to burn Xiaoye City."

This time, he was careless.

He admitted that he was at a disadvantage because of his inferior skills.

But things have changed, and he will not let Sun Xing and Wu Zhi off so easily.

He walked to Wu Zhi's side and said in a cold voice: "Don't forget, I am the commander of Jianan Pass. Only I can help you if something happens at Jianan Pass."

Wu Zhi was sweating profusely.

Although he could mobilize troops, his power was limited. If there was a refugee riot or an invasion by foreign enemies at Jianan Pass, he would still have to rely on Tang Shi.

If Tang Shi was delayed by a few hours due to some "accident", he might lose his life.

Sun Xing was the commander of Tongmen Pass. After this incident was over, he would return to Tongmen Pass. Naturally, he was not afraid of Tang Shi's revenge.

But he could not do that.

He is an official of Jianan Pass. Unless he can be transferred, Tang Shi will have plenty of opportunities to retaliate against him.

It seems that he defeated Tang Shi, but in fact, Tang Shi defeated him. He

must get rid of Tang Shi in the chaos, otherwise his life will be difficult. Because

Jianan Pass is far away from the capital, the local Yang Tongpan has to make the decision and suspend Tang Shi.

Yang Tongpan advocated observing Xiaoye City for a few more days. If the condition is alleviated within three days, the plan to burn down Xiaoye City will be stopped.

But if not, the original plan will be followed.

Tang Shi was dissatisfied with this, but Yang Tongpan had already been in collusion with Sun Xing and Wu Zhi, so he naturally would not listen to him.

Although Tang Shi had sent people to deliver the memorial to His Majesty at full speed, it was clear that he would not get a reply in the short term.

He clenched the spear in his hand.

If the moment came to be irreversible, he could only act alone.

It was agreed to give three days, but no officials came to Xiaoye City to check the situation. Instead, patients from other towns were sent here continuously.

Obviously, they never thought of letting the people of Xiaoye City go.
