Chapter 1063

At this moment, Li Ninglingge was shot in the throat by a hidden arrow and died on the spot.

It was precisely a "Luo Wang" assassin arranged by Gu Hanyuan.

As long as the Yeli brothers had the intention to surrender.

He would strike at Li Ninglingge.

Sure enough.

The Yeli brothers saw their biggest bargaining chip, Crown Prince Li Ninglingge, die.

They immediately extinguished their intention to surrender.

Deciding to simply conquer the palace and declare themselves emperors.

The Tangut people of Xixia, like the ethnic groups on the grasslands, worshipped the strong.

If the Yeli brothers conquered the palace.

And demonstrated their martial power.

Coupled with the support of the various tribes they led.

They might not be unable to secure the throne.

Therefore, they even temporarily summoned over a thousand tribesmen of their own as assistance.

The status of the Yeli brothers stemmed from the strength of their tribe.

They wouldn't feel heartache for the casualties of Xixia soldiers.

But the casualties of the young and strong in their tribe were a real loss of interest.

It could be seen that they had decided to stake everything on one throw.

In short.

The fact that both sides were battered and exhausted was all manipulated by Gu Hanyuan.

Not only to delay time for himself to maneuver.

But also to reduce the numbers of both sides.

The Iron Pagodas, fully armored, were a hard bone.

Gu Hanyuan had no interest in gnawing on it hard.

The number of people in the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands was also too bloated.

Taking the opportunity to slim down would also make them easier to control.

Wu Laoda was covered in blood at this time.

There was also a wound with flesh turned outward on his arm.

It was left behind during the charge of the Iron Pagodas.

He looked around at the people who had suffered heavy casualties.

And said somewhat desperately:

"Let's retreat."

He was more sensitive than others.

And also had more self-knowledge.

From beginning to end, he never believed that Gu Hanyuan would easily remove the "Life-Death Talismans" for them.

But even if they disobeyed Gu Hanyuan's orders.

Without the antidote for the "Life-Death Talisman" in the future.

The result would sooner or later be a painful death.

That was why they had to honestly obey orders.

Now they had done their best.

And Gu Hanyuan's figure was still nowhere to be seen.

Continuing to fight would result in the annihilation of the entire army.

Wu Laoda did not expect Gu Hanyuan to remove the "Life-Death Talismans" for them.

He only hoped that Gu Hanyuan could, in view of their hard work if not their merit.

Provide the antidote to suppress the "Life-Death Talisman" from acting up.

However, the remaining island masters and cave masters were deluded by the carrot of having the "Life-Death Talismans" removed.

How could they be willing to give up halfway here?

They clamored one after another:

"Hold on a little longer, maybe Young Master Gu will arrive soon. We cannot give up."

"Exactly, I don't want to endure the pain of the 'Life-Death Talisman' ever again."

"Young Master Gu is benevolent and kind; he will definitely keep his promise."

All sorts of words placing hope on Gu Hanyuan's character emerged one after another.

It could only be said that they didn't understand the real Gu Hanyuan at all.

Wu Laoda, seeing this, had no choice but to muster his remaining strength to continue fighting.

However, after Wu Laoda's interruption.

Many people also started to have doubts in their hearts.

Once their spirit leaked.

Their resistance immediately weakened by a few points.

The Yeli brothers were overjoyed at the sight.

The thousand tribesmen under their command and the hundreds of main-force Iron Pagodas took the opportunity to advance a long way.

Another step forward and they would reach the front palace of the imperial palace.

The terrain of the square there was open.

Once they were allowed to reach there.

The people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands would never be able to stop them again.

Wu Laoda and the others also had their expressions change.

In the open terrain.

They already knew what kind of fate they would have.

How could they dare to let the Yeli brothers rush over?

However, with the Iron Pagodas leading the way.

The people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands still couldn't stop them.

The two words "It's over" flashed through their minds.

The Yeli brothers' anxious hearts finally settled.

Just as they were rejoicing.

A sound of thunderous, orderly footsteps came from afar.

Yeli Yuqi looked into the distance.

And muttered in disbelief:

"Imperial guards? How could they arrive at this time?"

Yeli Wangrong was also shocked.

The two looked at each other.

................. 0

Both saw disappointment in each other's eyes.

Since the imperial guards had arrived in time.

Then their idea of conquering the palace first naturally went bankrupt.

Yeli Wangrong muttered:

"Could it be Mozang Epang?"

Both thought it was Mozang Epang who wanted to be the oriole.

And Mozang Epang indeed had such an intention.

That was why the imperial guards were scattered everywhere.

Giving the Yeli brothers the illusion that they could conquer the palace.

It was just that Mozang Epang died before his ambition could be realized.
