You are my golden finger

Chapter 84: Straight into the Heart of the Enemy

Murong Xu did not alarm anyone. Taking advantage of the night, he used his lightness skills to leave with Lin Xijin, who was still dressed in men's clothes.

The two came to a secluded and open place on the border. Lin Xijin dispatched a helicopter, and the two of them headed towards their destination - the royal court of Beiqiang, fully armed.

It would take several days to travel on horseback, and only an hour to fly in the air. The two landed early in the snowy plains about thirty or forty miles from the royal city to avoid shocking the world.

After calling the helicopter back to space, the two of them took the wolf leader instead. Wolves are common animals on the grassland, so it is normal for them to be discovered. Moreover, it is still late at night, and the two of them are invisible. There is no one on the wolf leader, and it moves quickly, so it is basically impossible for anyone to discover it.

The leader wolf had not run in the wild for a long time, so he ran wildly. He rushed all the way and soon arrived at the foot of the wall of the royal court. The leader wolf was stopped by the wall.

Lin Xijin recalled it to the space, and performed Qinggong with Murong Xu to avoid the enemy guards and headed straight to the royal court according to the original route. Relying on the concealment function of the space, they went in and out several times and cleared out the granary, treasury, and arsenal of the Northern Qiang Dynasty.

The two sneaked into the palace, evaded the guards, emptied the inner treasury of the old emperor of Beiqiang, and then went to find the old emperor. Fortunately, the old emperor of Beiqiang did not favor his concubine tonight. After a few injections from Lin Xijin, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and his saliva was flowing, which was completely the symptom of a stroke.

The two did not rush to leave, and searched in the imperial study next to the old emperor's bedroom, and indeed found the secret letter from Prime Minister Han to the Emperor of Beiqiang. Lin Xijin put these letters, the jade seal of Beiqiang, and the layout map of the Beiqiang royal court into the space, and then the two returned to the space to rest.

The next day, the old emperor who had suffered a stroke was discovered by his attendant who had just woken up from a coma. He quickly summoned a witch doctor. The princes and ministers also got the news and hurried to the palace to attend to the sick. These people had their own agendas, and the palace was in chaos.

Under such circumstances, no one noticed such a major event as the theft from the national treasury.

The two men who had been recuperating in the space studied the detailed layout and map of the Northern Qiang King's Court, and that night they raided the palaces of two powerful princes, the general's palace, and the prime minister's palace, and finally reached the royal horse farm in the suburbs and cleared out the thousands of war horses inside.

The two men did not care what kind of mess they had left behind for Northern Qiang. In the dim morning light, they floated lightly like snowflakes dancing in the sky and soon left the Northern Qiang royal court.

This time the two did not leave by helicopter. Instead, they dressed up in the space and appeared in front of the people of Northern Qiang in a fairy-like manner.

Murong Xu wore a jade crown on his head, a fox fur coat on his body, and held a flute in his hand. He stood on the big tiger, playing the flute as he walked forward.

Lin Xijin wore a flower crown, a red dress, and a white fox fur cape. She stood on the leader wolf's body, scattering flower petals as she walked, with a group of wolves following behind her.

As they walked forward, they received countless homages from the people of Northern Qiang. When they reached a place without human habitation, they put away their pretentious manners and returned to the space with Da Hu and the wolf leader.

After returning to the space, the two could no longer hold back and laughed out loud together, showing the joy of teenagers after playing a prank.

"Jin'er, why is my flute with you?" Murong Xu asked after laughing.

"After you disappeared, the army notified me to pack up your things, so I kept it with me. Later, I settled in the medicine garden and put it in my room. It has been in this space since I came here."

Murong Xu embraced her emotionally and said affectionately: "Jin'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer. Fortunately you came, otherwise I wouldn't know how I died! It's too aggrieved."

"God has his own plans. My modern life experience tells me that we just need to do our best to do good deeds and add a bit of clarity to the world. We will be blessed."

"I don't care about anything else. I will just hold your hand tightly and rely on you for the rest of my life!" Murong Xu showed his rogue look again.

"Okay, I'll take your blame!" Lin Xijin rolled her eyes so Murong Xu couldn't see.

After a while of being bored, they released the tiger and the wolves to let them run wild. The two put on riding clothes and rode on their horses, galloping across the vast snowfield, enjoying the scenery of the Northern Qiang along the way, and heading towards the border of the Great Jin.

At first, the two were very excited. But after two days of walking, they found that the scenery outside was the same, all snow-covered wilderness. It was beautiful, but it was boring after looking at it for a long time. Occasionally, they came across a few tents, but they were also silent and lifeless under the snow.

The weather was still freezing cold, with the wind as sharp as a knife. In some places, the snow was so deep that it was above the knees. The horses couldn't move at all, so they had to get off and use some Qinggong to avoid being trapped by the heavy snow.

Although the two of them were fully protected, they found it boring after a while. So they walked to an uninhabited grassland, called out a helicopter, flew up into the sky, and disappeared.

They returned to the place where they took off last time and landed. Murong Xu was so clingy that he didn't want to be separated for a moment and had to sit with Lin Xijin. So the two of them took the Dahu instead and returned to the border town.

Seeing the border town from afar, Lin Xijin took back the tiger and released three or four thousand war horses. Murong Xu jumped on the horse and galloped towards the city gate, raising countless snow foam along the way.

The soldiers guarding the city saw that it was Murong Xu who returned with countless war horses, and hurriedly reported to the deputy general guarding the city. The deputy general ordered the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and personally go out of the city to greet him.

When the soldiers saw the fat and strong war horses, they couldn't help but feel jealous and wished they could jump on them and gallop across the battlefield.

However, the war horses captured this time, together with those captured in the previous two ambushes and three sieges, totaled more than 10,000 horses, which was a considerable number to arm the cavalry unit.

After more than ten days of peace and tranquility, Murong Xu received the imperial edict and the letter of peace from the Northern Qiang.

When his father, the emperor, learned that he had captured three cities of Northern Qiang, he was very pleased and ordered him to return to the court.

Murong Xu also wanted to present the Northern Qiang's letter of peace to the court, so he decided to choose a day to return to the court.

General Peng has been guarding the border for many years. He had not been back home for many years because of the tense situation on the border. Now that the situation has eased, he was allowed to go back to visit his family.

All matters related to the border were handed over to General Peng's son, Deputy General Peng. Murong Xu led his personal guards, and General Peng led his five thousand soldiers back to the capital.

After only one day on the road, Lin Xijin and Murong Xu used a trick to replace the original with another one. They found two people with similar body shapes to pretend to be them, and under the cover of night they flew back to Kyoto in a helicopter.

"Old Nine will escort Deputy General Huang and others back to the capital soon. Gentlemen, what plans do you have to resolve the current situation?" Soon after the two of them sneaked into Murong Sheng's study, Murong Sheng summoned his staff to discuss strategies.

"We can only kill him on the road! It would be best if we can kill the Ninth Prince together!" said an aide with a hooked nose fiercely.

"He was lucky. He survived both being shot and poisoned."

"This time, we'll ask the Jianghu gangs to kill him first. If they fail, we'll ask the secret guards to take action."

The staff members offered suggestions one after another.

Finally, it was decided to kill them in two batches. The first batch was to be carried out by the Wuming Pavilion, a gang from Jianghu. The advantage of this gang is that they only take money to do things, regardless of where the money comes from. As long as you pay the money, they will take action. The killing of this group of people was arranged at Qinguan.

If the first batch of assassinations failed, they could only move to the Jincheng area and make further arrangements, with secret guards and secretly trained soldiers disguising themselves as bandits to carry out the assassination.

After hearing Murong Sheng's plan, Lin Xijin and Murong Xu sighed at his cruelty. They also knew that such a thorn in the flesh could not be left alone and had to be eradicated. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy for the court and a nightmare for the people.

After Murong Sheng and his staff left, the two searched his entire study carefully and found a secret room. They looted all the secret documents, banknotes, more than ten boxes of gold bars and jewelry. As for his storehouse, it was better to leave it to the old emperor to confiscate his property and fill the treasury.

When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did the same thing. What was unexpected was how rich the Prime Minister's Mansion was. There were several boxes of thousand-liang silver notes and more than thirty boxes of gold bars in the secret room of the Prime Minister's study. It was unknown how much property he had in his open warehouse.

The two of them went to the palace again, and this time they emptied out Concubine Han's storehouse. Because they didn't know whether the old emperor would show mercy to her, his former favorite concubine, they could only cut off her tail first.
