Xichuan Castle, Thorn History Mansion.

The original Thorn Mansion has become the temporary residence of the Shuoyun army.

Late at night, the chamber was still brightly lit.

Gao Xuan sat at the head, his back was as straight as a green pine, and his hard face was expressionless, quite a general's bearing. Other generals lined up on either side.

A letter was circulated in the hands of the people.

The letter came from Huanzhou City, and it said that it hoped to cooperate with the Shuoyun army to punish the thieves. Among them, the anti-thief refers to Sun Yi, the prince of Chen, who established himself as the king. He also said that when the Shuoyun army came to the city, someone would open the city gate to greet them.

"General, this is a wonderful opportunity for me Shuoyun. Now, Mochizuki can't attack in, we can't fight, so we are in a stalemate, just take this opportunity to take Huanzhou City! Take Huanzhou City, just form an encirclement of Mochizuki's army, can break the current stalemate, and take the lead. ”

"Now Mochizuki is stationed in Yingzhou, eyeing Xichuan. How did my Shuoyun army bypass Yingzhou and quietly appear outside Huanzhou City. ”

"General Gao is resourceful, what's so difficult about this?!"

"Okay, even if this is done, but if the news leaks out, what if Mochizuki takes the opportunity to attack the city?"

"If Mochizuki wants to attack Xichuan, he must first wait for his grain and grass to arrive. These few days are enough time for us to take Huanzhou!"

For a time, the people in the council hall were divided into two factions, one faction mainly attacked Huanzhou City, and the other faction did not attack.

The two factions are fighting, and the more fierce the competition becomes, but all this seems to have nothing to do with Gao Xuan, who is sitting first. Gao Xuan looked extremely careless, and only said when they were almost arguing: "Let's all go back and rest, and we will think about it before making a decision." ”

After Gao Xuan finished speaking, the group retreated.

Only Gao Xuan was left in the entire conference hall. He looked down at the boots he was wearing, they weren't pretty, the stitches were crooked, even rough, and the only thing was that they looked very secure.

No, General Gao marched thousands of miles in these boots, and these boots were never broken.

It's just that General Gao, who was born in the Taiwei Mansion and has an extraordinary status, actually wears a pair of such boots every day, and he cherishes them quite much, and his subordinates secretly guess that they were given by his mistress. I really didn't expect this old tree to bloom new shoots, and I don't know how General Gao's sister is not afraid of the cold.

After a while, a woman walked in from the side hall.

"General, do your subordinates tell you something old and listen to the general?" the woman said in a gentle voice.

Gao Xuan tilted his head and sat there with his eyes closed, his sharp face popping out of cold and hard lines, and he didn't speak.

Faced with such an expression that he didn't want to hear, the woman touched her nose, but had to say: "In the past, Taiwei had already seen Gongsun Yi's wolf ambitions, and he had contact with Gongsun Yi's henchmen in various ways. This Sheng Junshi is the most aware of righteousness and can get along with the captain the most. The lieutenant explained that he must help the Sheng military division. ”

"Knowing the righteousness?" Gao Xuan's face showed a very strange expression, "I am the best at making that wall grass." ”

"......" The woman was silent for a long time before she said, "General, this is what the captain meant." ”

Gao Xuan said as a matter of course: "The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Moreover, my father is not a king. ”

The woman's temples ached faintly, so she had to say helplessly: "Does the general mean to give up this opportunity and not attack Huanzhou City?"

She racked her brains to figure out how to explain to the captain.

Gao Xuan raised his head and glanced at her: "Go, of course go, why don't you go?"

The ...... woman's temples hurt even more, and she found that this boy was acting strangely, and she couldn't guess what this one was thinking.

"General Ben went personally. I don't know what came to mind, but there was a hint of a smile in Gao Xuan's cold eyes.

The expression was the same as the one he had when he looked at his boots in a daze.

Could it be that the general's lover sister is in Huanzhou City?

Huanzhou City, Chenwang Mansion.

A few dark shadows walked in the darkness, and it was destined to be an unrestful night.

Sheng Lingran stood outside the window, neatly dressed, with his hands behind his back, looking out the window. The moonlight outside the window is just right.

Counting the time, it should be tonight. A cold light flashed in Sheng Lingran's eyes, and he looked at everything in front of him with an almost cruel look.

'Whew', the wind suddenly poured in, the man in black seemed to fall from the sky, stopped in mid-air, the wind blew the black clothes, and the black clothes were poured into the wind by the wind, like a huge bat.

Several men in black instantly appeared outside the window.

"The host asked me to pick you up. "Humanity in black.

Sheng Lingran's eyes shone with excitement, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Gongsun Yi has a murderous intention against him, and he is in danger in King Chen's mansion. Now, these trembling days are finally coming to an end.

Sheng Lingran opened the door and was escorted out of King Chen's mansion by those few people.

Sheng Lingran was extremely familiar with the arrangement of guards in King Chen's Mansion, coupled with the strong martial arts of these black-clothed people, they were quiet along the way, and no one stopped them at all.

Sheng Lingran walked out of King Chen's Mansion almost with a swagger.

When he stepped out of the Chenwang Mansion, he couldn't help but glance back at the majestic palace hidden in the darkness, his eyes shining with contempt and bloodthirstiness.

Oh, the so-called Chenwang Mansion is nothing more than that.

He stayed in King Chen's Mansion, not because he couldn't go, but because he didn't want to go. He stayed in King Chen's Mansion just because he was afraid of startling the grass and attracting the attention of Gongsun Yi.

Gongsun Yi treats him like this, and he has to fight back in a more cruel way!

What he didn't know was that his every move actually fell into a pair of eyes.

The moment Sheng Lingran stepped out of King Chen's Mansion, someone immediately reported to Gongsun Yi.

Gu Shuiyue blinked a pair of beautiful eyes, looked at Gongsun Yi and said, "The snake is finally out of the hole." ”

Gongsun Yi's eyes were so cold: "If I hadn't watched this good show, I really didn't know that Sheng Lingran was so capable." He did so much behind my back. ”

"He's a good guy who is good at camping. Gu Shuiyue said, "Three holes of the cunning rabbit, Sheng Lingran has made three holes for himself." ”

"Oh, what he thought was a hole was actually a hole of death. ”

In the darkness of the night, a group of people quietly gathered, and beneath the surface of tranquility lurked manic beasts. The beast gradually woke up and swallowed up the appearance of tranquility.

"Mr. Ling Ran, there are already five hundred people lying in ambush at the city gate. ”

"Okay, when I give the order, your people will rush up to kill the gatekeepers and open the city gate!" Sheng Lingran said in a low voice.

"Mr. Ling Ran, if it happens......

"Strange stone, I will never forget your credit after the deed is completed. Sheng Lingran patted the shoulder of the person around him and said, "I remember all the things you have done for me over the years." ”

The strange stone laughed, and said no more.

After waiting for about half an hour, Mr. Qishi was a little uneasy: "Ling Ran, it will be dawn in another hour, hasn't that noble person arrived yet?"

"Qishi, don't worry, Gao Xuan is much more powerful than you and I imagined. As long as the gate of this Huanzhou City is opened, Huanzhou will be in the pocket. When the time comes, let's endure humiliation and bear the burden, and capture the thief with merit, just wait for the reward for meritorious deeds. Sheng Lingran reassured.

"I have also heard of Gao Xuan's reputation, he is the only military general in Shuoyun who can match Gongsun Yi. As he spoke, he settled down.

Moreover, the matter has come to this point, there is no way back at all, only to fight to the death.

After waiting for another half an hour, there was finally movement outside.

Something soared into the air, emitting a few sparks and scattering them.

This is the code that Sheng Lingran made an appointment with Gao Xuan in the letter.

Sheng Lingran was overjoyed: "Strange stone, Gao Xuan is here!"

Sheng Lingran immediately ordered, and the five hundred people who were dormant immediately rushed forward. The gatekeepers were asleep, and without the slightest resistance, the gates were opened.

Outside the city gates, a crowd of people rode on horses. The person headed by Yu Xuan and his extraordinary posture are the Gao Xuan that Sheng Lingran and Qi Shi have been mentioning.

Gao Xuan rushed in first, and Sheng Lingran hurriedly greeted him, with a look of joy on his face.

"Welcome General Gao!" Sheng Lingran gave a literati salute to Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan didn't look at him at all, but looked ahead, as if he was waiting for something.

The feeling of being ignored was not good, and the smile on Sheng Lingran's face faded a little: "General Gao, while the anti-thief has not yet reacted, please hurry up and level Huanzhou City and arrest the anti-thief." ”

Only then did Gao Xuan turn his gaze to Sheng Lingran and look at him condescendingly: "Catch the thief?"

Sheng Lingran was stunned by his question: "General Gao, isn't it very clear in the letter?"

Saying that, Sheng Lingran felt a little strange.

There are 300,000 troops of Gongsun Yi in this Huanzhou city, and even if he is joined by the outside, Gao Xuan will bring at least 100,000 people. But all the people brought by Gao Xuan entered the city, and there were no more than 100 people!

Gao Xuan brought more than 100 people to attack Huanzhou City, was he overestimating himself, or underestimating Gongsun Yi too much?

Next, Sheng Lingran found out that it was actually neither.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, completely breaking the peace of Huanzhou City. Sheng Lingran turned his head to look, and saw that there were dozens of more horsemen behind him, led by Gongsun Yi and Gu Shuiyue!

Sheng Lingran quickly met a pair of eyes, which belonged to his sister Sheng Jinran. Sheng Jinran's face was full of shock and disbelief.

The uneasiness in Sheng Lingran's heart became more and more intense.

In the next moment, the whip suddenly swung at him, causing him to his knees, and the whip turned into a rope and bound him tightly.

Sheng Lingran fell dizzy, and his body was also in great pain, and before he could recover from it, he heard Gao Xuan say: "Gu Shuiyue, are you still satisfied with the gift that I will give you?"

Sheng Lingran's head exploded suddenly, and his face quickly turned pale.

Gao Xuan and Gu Shuiyue are old acquaintances?

What do you mean by Gao Xuan's words?

Is he the so-called return gift?

When Sheng Lingran opened his eyes again, he saw that his friend Qishi and the five hundred people were all tied up.

Sheng Lingran instantly seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, looked at Gao Xuan, and said without hesitation: "Gao Xuan, you can't be like this! As a general of Shuoyun, you don't arrest the anti-thief, but collude with the anti-thief, are you going to rebel?"

Gao Xuan didn't pay attention to him at all, and didn't look at him. He just looked at Gu Shuiyue persistently, as if he wanted to get a 'satisfied' answer from her mouth.

Sheng Lingran finally fully understood, Gao Xuan was acting perversely, he didn't even listen to his father's words, he didn't plan to cooperate with him at all, let alone care about his life or death!
