Su Qiang is the Sultan's father.

When he was young, he was a student of Prime Minister Lin Heru, and he was also on the rise all the way, and now, he has reached the Yangzhou Prefecture.

This is a heavy member of the governor's side of the big state outside the imperial city.

And there are many people with a background like Su Qiang in various parts of Wuwei Country.

This is also the reason why Li Jingtian is reluctant to do anything to Lin Heru easily.

If Lin wants to rebel, he will not care about the world.

The emperor wants to guard the country, but he wants to stabilize the people's hearts.

Once the face is completely reversed, several large states may also break away from Wuwei State, and at that time, the people will not be able to make a living.

After Su Qiang received the holy decree, he immediately moved from Yangzhou and rushed to Kyoto to visit his teacher Lin Heru.

It stands to reason that he rushed directly from Yangzhou to the southwest border, and the distance was less than half.

All this was naturally known to the emperor.

Prime Minister's House.

Lin Heru drank a little wine, listened to Su Qiang's words after saying the content of the holy decree, and suddenly smiled:

"Your son Sultan is on the southwest border, according to the arrangement, he should be on the opposite side of Ye Changan, representing me. ”

"Ye Changan is still the emperor's person for the time being, if he really betrays it, forget it, I'm afraid that it will be the crime set by the eldest prince indiscriminately. ”

"When the time comes, how are you going to report it?"

Su Qiang frowned, "If Ye Changan is really slandered, I will report it truthfully." ”

"Then the great prince will have one more infamy of framing Zhongliang! You have not only offended the great prince, but also the emperor. ”

Su Qiangzi shuddered, "Could it be that it has to be said that Ye Changan betrayed?"

"That's why you framed Zhongliang!"

Lin Heru's eyes were cold, "The emperor is going to punish you for your sins and prune my wings." ”

Su Qiang's face became more and more ugly, and he quickly knelt on the ground, "Please also ask the teacher for guidance." ”

Lin Heru's eyes were deep, and he put down his wine glass and thought for a moment, "In this way, after you go, if it is really the eldest prince who is framing Ye Chang'an, you will write it in the report..."

"It's written that it's a ploy by the eldest prince and Ye Changan, acting for the barbarians, but in fact, it's playing tricks on the barbarians and luring the barbarians. ”

···

Su Qiang would not have thought that this trip to the frontier would completely change his fate.

When he arrived at the southwest border, he found that things were not so simple.

First of all, the eldest prince insisted that it was Ye Changan's betrayal.

But in the entire Southwest Defense Region, up to the great general Yunhu, down to every soldier, they all said that Ye Changan was a loyal minister, a great hero, and an idol in their hearts.

In addition, Ye Changan and his soldiers showed no traces, and there was nowhere to verify.

The only one who dares to tell the truth to Su Qiang may be the Sultan.

When the Sultan learned of the purpose of his father's visit to the frontier, he sent back only one sentence:

"Ye Changan did not betray, it was the eldest prince who framed him. ”

Su Qiang didn't dare to record this.

For this, a lie gradually formed.

Su Qiang wrote in the report:

'The great prince is heroic and intelligent... , Ye Chang'an is loyal and righteous, and deliberately fell out, but in fact, he wanted to lure the barbarians into contact with Ye Changan, trying to deal a heavy blow to the barbarians... So, so, so...

The pigeon sent a message to the palace.

At that time, it happened to be the time of the early dynasty, and the emperor first told the Manchu civil and military about it, and then read out the contents of the letter in public.

"Old fox," the emperor laughed and scolded in a low voice, and he didn't know whether he was scolding Su Qiang or the prime minister.

Li Jingtian put the letter aside and looked at Lin Heru with a smile, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Lin He got up, stepped forward and said respectfully: "The eldest prince is brave and strategic, and regardless of the success or failure of this strategy, this thought alone is enough for His Majesty's reward." ”

"Really?" Li Jingtian raised his eyelids, and his tone was heavier, "What about Ye Chang'an, should he also be rewarded?"

"Yes," Lin Heru nodded, a smile flashed in his triangular eyes, "Ye Changan and Sultan, one is good at developing weapons and equipment, and the other has been fighting outside for a long time. ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty not to forget the Sultan, so as not to chill the hearts of loyal ministers. ”

Li Jingtian leaned on the dragon chair, glanced at the ministers, and nodded, "Order, the Sultan has merit, let the eldest prince ask him for the widow, just ask him, what do you want?"

The prime minister's face changed, and he slowly stepped aside, no longer speaking, and did not sit on the special chair placed on the side.

···

Southwestern Frontier.

The Sultan was suddenly recalled!

Li Shangwu said with a displeased face: "My father said that you are meritorious, and asked you what reward you wanted." ”

Su Qiangzi trembled, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty and the eldest prince Mingjian, Xiao'er is dedicated to the country, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything." ”

The Sultan frowned, "I want equipment, the bow and crossbow and armor developed by Ye Changan have lost a lot, please hurry up and transport some from the imperial city." ”

Su Qiang quickly stood up and slapped the Sultan in the face.

"It is your glory to fight for the country, how dare you ask the eldest prince for something. ”

Li Shangwu waved his hand, and suddenly smiled: "Sultan, I'll give you what you want, I heard that your subordinates are all elites, it just so happens that the Black Dragon Legion guarding the imperial city needs manpower, why don't you take someone back to the national capital and take over the city defense of Wuwei City?"

The Sultan's face was overjoyed, "Good!"

You must know that the Black Dragon Guard defending Wuwei City is equivalent to the first line of defense to defend the palace.

What a great honor!

But Su Qiang's face became more and more ugly, "The eldest prince, the child is not qualified enough! ”

Su Qiang understood:

If the Sultan became the Black Dragon Guard guarding Wuwei City, it would be enough to threaten the Imperial Palace.

At that time, once the prime minister has a request, he will definitely ask the Sultan to cooperate, which is standing on the cusp.

The Sultan's face was full of excitement, "I do!"

"Okay, then it's decided," a flash of pride flashed in Li Shangwu's eyes, "You will take your army and return to Wuwei City with me." ”

"As for the defense of Luoxiapo, someone will take over. ”

In the dense forest, when the news was delivered to Ye Changan, it surprised Ye Changan.

Liu Feihua held a chicken leg in her hand and took a bite before saying, "The Sultan has been promoted, and he has gone to the capital to become an official, which is much easier than you." ”

"Relax," Ye Changan tore up the letter paper and sighed, "I hope the Sultan won't die in Wuwei City." ”

At the same time, the eldest prince received the emperor's secret order, and did not mention Ye Chang'an's matter again, only saying that it was a misunderstanding.

After all, the emperor did not blame Li Shangwu for framing Zhongliang, and gave him a small commendation, that is, he was given a step.

If he still bites Ye Chang'an and doesn't let go, he will inevitably set fire and be disliked by the emperor.

Sure enough, as Ye Changan said, he just camped in the dense forest for a while, and then returned to the col defense area with his subordinates.

It's just that some things are destined to change.

Ye Changan knew in his heart that the eldest prince was testing himself to see if he had the heart of betrayal.

Although Ye Changan did not betray, he did not do what the eldest prince instructed.

This is the reason why the emperor did not order Ye Chang'an to be commended.

The eldest prince is not so mentally retarded...

Even Ye Changan felt that the emperor was letting his eldest prince and second prince cooperate with him in acting.

···

"I don't know how many times I've watched this play," Lin Heru sneered, walked away from the maid, and raised his eyes to look at the few henchmen sitting opposite.

"I would have been chilled at the beginning, so Ye Changan would have been chilled in the end," Lin Heru smiled slightly, "Look at it, you don't need me to woo me, Ye Changan will naturally stand on my side." ”

"But Su Qiang's father and son..."

Lin Heru sneered, "The Sultan is the leader of the Black Dragon Guard, responsible for the defense of Wuwei City, which is much stronger than under me." ”

"A Yangzhou Prefecture, a leader of the Black Dragon Guard, I'm not rare!" Lin Heru's eyes were cold, "Go and call the original leader of the Black Dragon Guard, the master of the dignified six-star combat power actually wants to be the deputy of this kid Sultan, I feel worthless for him." ”

After a while, someone came to report, saying that the former commander of the Black Dragon Guard, because he was drunk, spread rumors in the bazaar, complained about the emperor's injustice, and had been transferred to the command of Zhao Beishan, the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard.

After Lin Heru listened, he dropped the wine glass and smashed the vase...

Ye Chang'an, who is on the border, doesn't know any of this.

Because at this moment, he was frowning, studying his physical condition.

Because he took the Black Jiao Neidan, and established a bloodline contract with Xiaojiao, it was a half-demon bloodline.

Therefore, Ye Changan's strength and speed will be stronger than that of a martial artist of the same level.

But after coming to this world, his half-demon bloodline didn't seem to bring him any benefits.

The hard scales didn't appear either, otherwise, Ye Changan wouldn't have been so seriously injured last time.

Liu Feihua's senior brother has never been seen since he failed to assassinate Yunhu and escaped with serious injuries.

After so many days, Ye Changan seems to be calm and quiet, but he has always been wary of the charter.

That musket had been improved by Ye Changan, and it had increased both in weight and power.

Even if the charter comes, Ye Changan is not afraid!

On this day, something happened suddenly.

The commander who just came to Luoxiapo with 10,000 soldiers is called Lin Pingju, who is known as both civil and military in Kyoto.

The most important thing is that he is a relative of Prime Minister Lin Heru.

This kid thinks very highly of himself, but he has led his soldiers to shrink in Luoxia Slope, and has never stepped out of the defensive line, let alone run to the territory of the barbarian country like the mad dog Sultan to make trouble.

Therefore, the dense forest between the defense lines of the two countries was deprived of the Wuwei State Border Guard Team, giving the barbarian ** team an opportunity.

Thousands of five-person squads actually touched outside the Wuwei defense line and planned to attack Luoxiapo.

This time the situation is much more serious than the last attack on Luoxiapo.

First of all, this Lin Pingju only has four-star combat power, and he has no actual combat experience.

Seeing the fierce attack of the barbarian squad, he immediately let his soldiers resist, and he took hundreds of people and ran to Wangbian City.

Yunhu was furious about this and personally led his troops to Luoxiapo to support.

You must know that the 10,000 barbarian soldiers who attacked Luoxiapo this time are all elites who have fought dozens or hundreds of times in the jungle.

Although it is not as good as the Sultan's men, it is not something that ordinary soldiers can resist.

In addition, they are all fighting in small teams, with flexible tactics and tacit cooperation, and in a short period of time, they actually climbed the city wall and started close combat.

What he didn't expect was that Tuoba Shi, the commander of the barbarian country, personally led the army to attack and launched an attack in a squad mode on the entire border defense line of Wuwei Kingdom.

This made the border guards of Wuwei State, who were good at fighting big wars, a little unable to resist.

Only Ye Chang'an's col defense area has not yet fallen into battle.

Tuoba Kun personally took 10,000 barbarian soldiers, saying that he wanted to be ashamed, but he just stayed at the bottom of the hillside and did not dare to step forward at all.

Ye Changan was also very helpless, he couldn't fight, and he couldn't leave the mountain col defense area behind.

Seeing the smoke rising in the distance of the city wall, Ye Changan pondered for a moment and looked at Heipi:

"Take the Silver Dragon team members and rush to each defense area respectively, the task is to guide the commanders of all ten thousand commanders to resist the attack with the tactics of the resistance team!"

Blackskin nodded, "Your Excellency, you have to be careful!"

"Also, what do we use?"

Ye Changan frowned, "The phantom has disappeared for a long time. ”

Blackskin's eyes lit up, "Understood!

After the black leather left with the three hundred silver dragon members, Ye Changan re-ascended the city wall and shouted to Tuoba Kun under the hillside:

"Don't you want to be ashamed of the snow?

Tuoba Kun's face was full of anger, "You have the ability to come down!"

"Come up, barbarian soldiers are cowards. ”

"You are the cowards, cowering on the walls and shrunken turtles. ”

So, the war of words mode, began.

After scolding for an hour, I was probably tired.

Tuoba Kun took the barbarian soldiers and began to make a fire in the forest to cook.

Smoke also rose from the col defense area.

Liu Feihua frowned while serving Ye Chang'an a meal: "The newcomer Lin Pingju and his soldiers are all soft-footed shrimps, aren't you worried about the loss of Wangbian City or Luoxiapo?"

"The barbarian soldiers must have popularized the tactics of squad operations, and once they enter the Wuwei country, it will be difficult to find them. ”

Ye Changan nodded, and drank the white porridge in three or five sips, "Remember to wash the dishes, and in addition, the guards of the defense area will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Feihua held a chopstick pickle, frowned, and said, "Where are you going?"

"Look at the border city. ”

Ye Changan only took Chu Jiang alone, and he hurried up, passing by various defense areas along the way without stopping, and rushed directly to Luoxiapo.

With Yuanhu present, the soldiers were struggling to resist the attack.

Seeing Ye Changan coming, Yuan Hu's face was overjoyed, and he handed over the border token to Ye Changan, "You hurry up and look at the border city, you can't hold on over there." ”

Ye Changan frowned, "You are in Luoxiapo, who is watching the border city?"

"It's that waste Lin Pingju!" Yun Hu gritted his teeth, "Although the prime minister is ambitious, he was also a hero when he was young, why is the person he arranged so cowardly!"

Ye Changan didn't answer, and rushed to Wangbian City with Chu Jiang.
