Hu Qing led a few escapees back to the valley, hiding in the shadows. The generals, seeing their armies completely wiped out, were both angry and grieved. They recalled how Ye Zhao would never have suffered defeat when she was in charge, and a wave of emotion surged through them. Hu Qing, looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, thought of a plan.
Since everyone believed the Song army was annihilated, surely no one knew that he and these men were still alive. Why not infiltrate Western Xia and adapt to the situation? These men were all from the Ye family army and knew Hu Qing's capabilities. Moreover, with things as they were, there was no better option, so they all chose to follow Hu Qing. At night, Hu Qing and his men saw a convoy transporting grain.
They pretended to be bandits and went out to interrogate them. The people initially claimed to be grain merchants, trying to make money by delivering grain to Western Xia. Hu Qing rebuked them for profiting from the nation's crisis. The leader of the convoy thought these men were ordinary bandits and offered some silver, hoping to escape. Qiu Lao Hu pretended it wasn't enough, demanding that the leader give more money.
This finally angered the leader, who feigned reaching for money but instead signaled his men. Instantly, the two groups clashed. However, Hu Qing and his men were after all from the army, and they quickly killed everyone. They found a letter and a token on the leader's body. The letter was only signed with the character "祁 (Qi)". Although Hu Qing suspected it was Prince Qi, he was unsure because the character was different.
He had no choice but to dispose of the bodies and pretend to be Prince Qi's messengers to Western Xia. To avoid being recognized by the Western Xia people, Qiu Lao Hu deliberately covered one of his eyes. After arriving at the Western Xia palace, the Western Xia king received them. Hu Qing presented the letter, pretending to be Prince Qi's messenger and using the alias "Hu Yuan," hoping to deceive the Western Xia king.
The Western Xia king, seeing the letter and the token, didn't greatly suspect Hu Qing. After a slight probe, he believed Hu Qing and hosted a banquet for Hu Qing and his men that evening. During the banquet, Hu Qing proposed ways to attack Song that could guarantee success. The Western Xia king found Hu Qing's suggestions ingenious and admired him even more, promising to speak well of Hu Qing in front of Prince Qi.
Ever since Ye Zhao learned of the Song army's defeat, she had been listless every day, and recently she had started drinking and getting drunk. Zhao Yujin tried to dissuade her, but to no avail. Finally, Ye Zhao got drunk, shed tears, and fell asleep in Zhao Yujin's arms. Yi Nuo came to find Hu Qing, suspecting Hu Qing was a spy sent by Prince Qi to gather military intelligence. Hu Qing didn't panic.
Based on his previous understanding of Prince Qi and Western Xia, he spoke of the ambition of Haredun's mother's family, the Yeli family. Yi Nuo, after listening, felt that Hu Qing was indeed talented and didn't seem like a spy, and reluctantly believed Hu Qing. Ever since Yeli Yuqi was removed from the front lines, he had been inseparable from Meizang, and the two were deeply in love.
That night, after they fell asleep, someone went to Yeli Yuqi's room and stole a sword, giving it to Yi Nuo's subordinate. Yi Nuo, having received Hu Qing's plan earlier, wanted to use this sword to bring down Yeli Yuqi. The next day, the Western Xia king continued to host a banquet for Hu Qing and his men. After some singing and dancing, everyone felt a bit bored.
Hu Qing took the opportunity to suggest performing a sword dance for entertainment. The Western Xia king naturally agreed. Hu Qing was skilled in martial arts, and his sword dance was excellent. The Western Xia king, seeing this, wanted to test Hu Qing and threw a handful of red dates at him. Hu Qing remained calm and unhurried, knocking all the red dates away, holding the last one in his hand.
Hu Qing danced for a while longer, then suddenly pointed his sword straight at the Western Xia king. Instantly, all the princes and ministers stood up, but the Western Xia king slowly raised his eyes to look at Hu Qing. Hu Qing didn't actually attack, but instead stomped on the steps in front of the throne, somersaulted in the air, and landed steadily.
