Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 329 The Arrogant Prince Loulan

Xi Dun laughed loudly and said, "What a prince of Loulan, how dare he be so arrogant when he is trapped here."

Aowen said: "Who said I'm stuck here? I'm about to ask the King and Queen of Mount Mo to escort me back to Loulan."

Xi Dun said: "The king just now is a fake. Aowen, you can't fool me with this trick. The fingerprints are my relatives, and I know him best. He would rather die than let you have the opportunity to humiliate him in public. Tell Is my handprint already dead?"

Seeing that the other party was extremely smart and powerful, Aowen was both surprised and admired. Seeing that it was hard to hide it, he simply admitted: "That's right, the handprint king just committed suicide in the hall."

The handprint was very popular in the country. When the Moshan sergeant outside the palace heard that the king was dead, he was in a rage. Some angry and excited people immediately clamored to attack the palace and smash the Loulan people to pieces in order to avenge the king.

Xi Dun waved his hand to stop the crowd, and shouted: "Aowen, the handprint king was forced to death by you, and you will be blamed for this. You have seen it too, you can't get out of here today." Aowen said: "Then so what?"

Xi Dun said: "You think you can't fool me with this trick. The fingerprints are my relatives. I know him best. I would rather die than let you have the opportunity to humiliate him in public. Tell me, is the handprint dead?"

Xi Dun said: "Do you think you can stop the king's two thousand elite soldiers with just a few hundred soldiers? Besides, there are so many Moshan soldiers and civilians here who want to kill you for revenge."

Ao Wen said: "Whether you can stop it or not depends on your ability, just try it and you will know."

Xi Dun said: "Young man, this king admires your courage to raid the Moshan Palace, and I really want to see what skills you have to compete with this king's army. However, this is a contest between you and me. You first Release the prisoners in the palace.”

Aowen pondered for a moment, then replied flatly: "Okay, these captives are useless to me anyway."

He ordered the warriors to release the guards and maids who were imprisoned in the palace, including Wang Weishi, who was also released.

Xi Dun didn't see Yue Zang brothers and sisters, he was very strange and asked, "Where are Prince Moshan and Princess Moshan?"

The guard said: "Your Majesty, when the Loulan people surrounded the palace, their brother and sister fled first."

Xi Dun nodded, raised his head and shouted: "Aowen, since you are so straightforward, this king should return your favor. I allow you to send a messenger back to the country, whether it is to report a letter or send a suicide note, it's up to you."

Aowen said proudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I don't need to send a letter back to Loulan. If I, Aowen, don't have the ability to get out of here, at most it will be nothing but death."

When the guard heard that he was going to set fire, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the body of the handprint king is still in the palace. You must not let the Loulan people set fire to the palace."

Xi Dun snorted, and said: "You love your silk, gold and silver jewelry, right?" The guard lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, nothing can escape His Majesty's eyes."

Xi Dun thought for a while and shouted: "Aowen, you are the prince of Loulan, so you are not afraid of death, but do you want so many people under your command to be buried with you in a foreign country? As long as you put down your weapons and come out obediently to surrender, Not only did this king not embarrass your subordinates, but he also sent people to send them back to Loulan Kingdom, how about it?"

Aowen said proudly: "We in Loulan are all warriors who will never surrender. You can't even think of trapping me."

Xi Dun said: "Okay! Very good!" He turned around and ordered: "Capture the proud man alive and make him a general. I will marry him as a princess. If you kill the proud man, you will get a thousand catties of reward."

All the people outside the palace burst into cheers and responded in unison: "Capture Aowen alive! Kill Aowen!"

For a while, the sound shook the world and resounded through the sky.The Loulan sergeants on the wall were all shocked.

I thought that the Khotan and Moshan troops were going to attack immediately, but those people just shouted for a while, then retreated outside the range of the crossbows and set up fences and roadblocks to completely seal the road to prevent the Loulan people from breaking out.

The palace is equivalent to a fortress, surrounded by stone walls. Although the scale is far smaller than the city wall of the king's city, it is still three feet high and difficult to climb with bare hands.

According to Aowen, Xi Dun retreated temporarily to prepare wooden ladders, hooks and other siege equipment, silently walked down the city wall, and leaned on a tree.He also did not expect to be in such a predicament, according to his original plan - go straight to the Moshan Palace, capture the king, prince, princess and other key figures, force them to write a warrant to call the army back to Moshan, and then take these hostages out of the city calmly return home.

Unexpectedly, King Moshan committed suicide with his fingerprints, the prince and princess disappeared, and King Xidun of Khotan arrived at a critical moment, and saw through Dalun's fake king at a glance.

Now he doesn't have any bargaining chips in his hand, the only way is to stick to the end.But they only have 500 people, their arrows are limited, and there is nothing to use in this palace, how can they stop the attack of the coalition forces of Khotan and Moshan?

He turned his head to brothers Da Lun and Xiao Lun who were directing soldiers to strengthen the palace gate, and his heart was quite agitated.He knew very well that it was only a matter of time before everyone, including himself, died in battle, but Xiao Lun was only 16 years old. Is it necessary to let him be buried with him?Should he consider Xidun's previous proposal of exchanging himself for the lives of 500 of his men?

But when he thought of having to kneel down in front of the arrogant Xi Dun, he felt that he couldn't bear it.Immediately he slammed his fist on the tree and said in his heart: "I would rather die than surrender!"

He turned around and called Xiao Lun, took off his personal jade pendant and handed it to him, ordering: "Take my jade pendant back to Loulan to report the news. Xi Dun has spoken first, and he will not send anyone to stop you."

Xiao Lun hesitated, and said, "But I don't want to leave the prince at this time."

Aowen shouted sharply: "Do you dare to disobey my order?"

Xiao Lun had no choice but to ask, "What is the prince's message?"

Ao Wen said: "There is no message. You hand the jade pendant to the king, and he will understand. Go."

Xiao Lun bowed and said: "As ordered." He put away the jade pendant, ordered the soldiers to open the door, and walked out of the palace.

Ao Wen ordered Da Lun to gather the rest of the soldiers together, and said with emotion: "Now that the enemy is approaching, I have sent Xiao Lun back to Loulan to deliver a message. But there is something I want to tell everyone in advance."

"We went deep into the hinterland of Mount Mo and were surrounded by enemies. No one will come to rescue us, and no one can come to rescue us. Are you willing to fight with me to the end, until you die?"
