Mu Gong Nong returned to the cottage with Jingyang, Zhong Jialei, Yi Qingfeng, and Bai Yunfeng, at this time Liu Quan was urging the brothers in the village to practice, and when he saw Mu Gong Nong walking back, Liu Quan was obviously angry. He stepped forward and said: "The four village owners, Mu Gongnong, this guy violated the military order and had no commander, and he disrupted the military spirit by disrupting the drill without authorization, and he also fought with the small big ones for this reason, and asked the four village owners to punish according to the order." ”

Jingyang said: "Just now on the road, the herdsman has already admitted his mistake, and he is just a first-time offender, and the punishment should not be too severe, I think he will deduct one month's military salary as a punishment, I don't know if the herdsman has any different intentions?"

Mu Gong Nong said: "The small ones don't dare to have different intentions. ”

Jingyang said: "This matter is over, in the future, everyone will act according to the military order, and you must not hurt the harmony for a little thing." You can't slack off in training, only by constantly improving your own strength can you take the lead on the battlefield of life and death, so you can continue to practice. ”

Liu Quan and Mu Gong Nong said: "Yes, the owner of the village." As he spoke, he walked into the school yard and went to practice.

Five days passed in a flash, and the day of the agreed day to go to the city lord's palace came quietly, Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng rushed to the "Qunfangfang" early, Di Shanhong did not break her word, she dressed the four of them as the entourage who escorted Murong Ling'er into the palace, so that Yi Qingfeng and the four of them could blend into the palace of the Xuanyuan City Lord unknowingly.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a carriage sent by Xuanyuan Feng stopped in front of the gate of "Qunfangfang", accompanied by an old mother about 50 years old and several maids, who wore silk long skirts and did not look very public. Such a scene was already commonplace, and the steward in front of the door knew that he was here to pick up Murong Ling'er without informing, and he immediately ran through the door to inform Di Shanhong.

Everything was ready inside, and when she heard that the carriage sent by the city lord had arrived outside the door, Di Shanhong personally led Murong Ling'er out of the door, accompanied by two of Ling'er's personal maids, and the other four were Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng in disguise.

Di Shanhong exchanged a few words with the old mother who came, and then Murong Ling'er was put into the carriage, and the old mother was in a hurry to send people back to the palace, she raised her hand and said, "Let's go." ”

The coachman shook the reins lightly, drove the car slowly forward, and the old mother led everyone to follow the car, and there was no mistake along the way, and it took about half an hour to arrive at the palace of the city lord. I saw a large mansion covering a vast area in front of me, surrounded by high walls on all sides, faintly visible the distribution of buildings and pavilions inside, and more precious trees planted all over it, which was very different from the scene of ordinary people's small doors, Jingyang, Zhong Jialei and others secretly admired even if they had good knowledge.

Everyone followed the carriage into the palace, if it was said that it was just an enjoyment to look outside, it was really a feast for the eyes to really be in it and get up close, as if they had stepped into the heavenly palace from the red world at once. After continuing to walk forward for a while, the main hall of the Xuanyuan City Lord was in front of him, and the old mother instructed her subordinates to take Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng to a small building to wait, and she led Murong Ling'er to meet Xuanyuan Feng.

Although it was a pity that they could not witness Murong Ling'er's superb dancing skills, it was already a pity that Jing Yang and the others were ecstatic to be lucky enough to step into this extremely luxurious mansion, and they were still admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them while drinking tea in the small building.

Everyone talked excitedly for a while, but they didn't forget the purpose of this trip, Yi Qingfeng said: "Let's enter the city lord's mansion now, this city lord will enjoy the dancing skills of Ling'er girl in the hall in the distance, and then we will try to meet him, and then we can make a request to borrow soldiers, but we have no friendship with him, borrowing soldiers is such a big thing, I am afraid that the city lord will not easily agree." ”

Jingyang said: "It's hard to say whether it will be successful or not, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to give it a try, if it really happens, then we can immediately lead the army to look back at Xicheng to attack the old thief of Tongshun, which is much stronger than our own gathering of soldiers and horses." ”

Although they are not sure about borrowing troops, everyone is not too concerned, even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, after all, Mingcheng has a large population, as long as they can afford to wait, they can always gather enough soldiers and horses, but it is not as fast as borrowing troops.

Zhong Jialei said: "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, we are here to explain the intention, as for whether the city lord is willing to borrow troops, let it be fate." ”

The four of them waited in the small building for most of the day, and when they saw that it was time for dinner, they saw an old mother in the distance leading a dozen people with a lot of wine and delicacies towards the main hall, Yi Qingfeng said: "Look, this will be the time for the city lord to eat, let's go over or see him now." ”

Jingyang said: "Isn't it time to wait for so long, without further ado, let's hurry over." Saying that, he and Yi Qingfeng, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng walked quickly towards the main hall.

Outside the hall, there were several samurai with spears and full armor guarding, and when they saw that the four of them had broken in for no reason, the samurai shouted angrily: "Bold, this is the city lord's dormitory, outsiders are not allowed to trespass, so don't retreat quickly." ”

Yi Qingfeng said: "We have something important to meet the city lord, please bother to report it." ”

The warrior said: "Presumptuous, the city lord is busy with affairs, how can you wait for the grass people to see it if they want to, retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." As he spoke, he stood in a row on the steps in front of the hall, and at the same time pointed the spear in his hand at Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng.

Jing Yang said angrily: "It's in vain to talk to these idiots, Qingfeng, you go in to see the city lord, these idiots are handed over to me and Jia Lei, and Yun Feng will deal with them." As he spoke, he rushed out with an arrow step, and Zhong Jialei and Bai Yunfeng each drew their swords and followed.

The three of them did it with all their might, only to see the Dao Dao fist shadow and the fierce cold light roaring out, beating the six warriors to the point that they had no power to fight back, and they had no time to block Yi Qingfeng who broke into the main hall. Under the cover of his companions, Yi Qingfeng entered the hall unimpeded, only to see Xuanyuan Feng sitting on a wide chair dressed in white, looking happy and relaxed, with many fine wines and delicacies on a long table in front of him, and two beautiful maids beside him.

There were a few concubines sitting below, as well as some musicians and dancers, more than a dozen men and women, of course, Murong Ling'er, who had entered the palace before, was also among them, and they were enjoying wine and food at this time.

For Yi Qingfeng's rash intrusion, Xuanyuan Feng was obviously very dissatisfied, and he said with anger on his face: "Who is here, what is the reason for breaking into this king's palace for no reason?"

Yi Qingfeng knelt down on one knee and said: "The villain Yi Qingfeng is a general of the rebel army in the neighboring city of Wangxi City, because the old thief of Tongshun of the Guangming Sect has recently led the army to occupy Wangxi City, which has made the people in the city suffer from enslavement and life. In desperation, he had to come to Xuanyuan City Lord for help, and hoped that the City Lord would help the innocent people for the sake of suffering and suffering. ”

Xuanyuan Feng was silent for a moment and said: "It turned out to be the general of the rebel army in Wangxi City, you can enter the palace of this king and make this king very surprised, but the matter of sending troops is very important, and this king needs to consider it carefully." ”

The sound of fighting outside the door became louder and louder, it turned out that I heard that outsiders had broken into the palace, and the other guards in the palace all rushed over, and two of the leaders hurriedly ran into the main hall and said: "City Lord, there are assassins breaking in, and villains are here to protect the City Lord." ”

Xuanyuan Feng said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not an assassin, let the guards outside the hall retreat, they are here to ask for something." ”

The two leaders said respectfully, "Yes, City Lord. As he spoke, he walked out of the main hall and took all the guards who had arrived.

Jingyang, Zhong Jialei, and Bai Yunfeng were able to get out, and the three of them walked into the hall and knelt on one knee with Yi Qingfeng, looking at the four people kneeling in front of them, a trace of ambiguity flashed in Xuanyuan Feng's eyes, and the previous anger on his face disappeared without a trace, and he opened his mouth again and said: "How many soldiers and horses do you have in your righteous army now, and how many soldiers and horses do you have for child thieves and old thieves?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "There are about four or five thousand soldiers and horses in our righteous army, and Tong Shun's old thief soldiers and horses are also about four or five thousand, but he has built Wangxi City like an iron bucket, and it is not easy to break through." ”

Xuanyuan Feng said: "Your intention is already clear to the king, today is the day for the king and his concubines to enjoy the song and dance, I can't give you an answer for the time being, you go back and wait first, and when the king makes a decision, he will send someone to inform the four." ”

Seeing that Xuanyuan Feng had already issued an eviction order, Yi Qingfeng and the others were inconvenient to disturb, so the four of them got up and said goodbye.
