Shout....

The soldier on the tower post let go and released a carved arrow, and a soldier in black armor leaned forward with a lantern and yelled at the tower post, "Stop!"

Outside the camp, seven men were shrouded in night. The man at the head was holding a bamboo cage in his left hand, leading a horse in his right hand, carrying a long sword, and his eyes were melancholy.

When the few of them stuck their arrows two or three steps in front of them, they all stopped moving forward, and let the iron-glowing soldiers run out of the camp to surround them.

Among the soldiers surrounding the seven of them, a middle-aged man with a full beard walked out, he carried a crossbow arrow on his back, carried a bamboo cage and slowly walked towards the seven people, and the knife in the other hand was raised, "Do you know where this is?"

"You know, the camp of General Xiang's army. The man at the head of the seven calmly replied to the soldier's words, "I have come from far away to see your general?"

The soldier who walked out squinted, and when he saw that the other party had an extraordinary bearing and spoke elegantly, he couldn't help but tone down slightly, "What's the matter?"

When the man heard this, he calmly took out a desert lonely letterhead from his arms, and said lightly, "General Xiang, who handed it over to you, said that there is a messenger coming from Guangling." ”

"Guangling?" The soldier's eyelids suddenly rose, and he carefully looked at the man and the six people hiding in the dark behind him, and he didn't dare to slack off, took the letterhead handed by the man, copied it into his arms, and yelled at the subordinates around him, "Look at them, I'll report it." ”

The soldiers mounted their horses and galloped into the camp.

In the middle of the night, a young general in iron armor walked out of the camp, he carried a terrifying big knife on his back, and walked slowly with a handsome scholar.

Approaching, the man saw clearly the appearance of the black-armored general, the other party's blue eyes were cold and abnormal, and there was a faint evil aura in the characteristics of rejecting people, and the man's brows couldn't help frowning.

The scholar in the back smiled softly at him, and his smile was warm.

"Are you from Guangling?" Xiang Yiming glanced at the man and glanced at the six people behind him.

"Exactly, I'm here to work together. The man nodded, "Seven days ago, Lord Shouzhang of Guangling County expressed his wish to the general, and we hope to get a reply from the general as soon as possible. ”

"Answer?" Xiang Yiming asked rhetorically, turning his head to look at Shu Liang beside him, "I really didn't expect them to send someone again." ”

Shu Liang faced Xiang Yiming's gaze, he smiled faintly, took a step forward, and stared at the other party's eyes, "Feng Xiao Zhang Wenyuan, long time no see." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Wen Yuan looked at Shu Liang's eyes, the bamboo cage he was carrying leaned forward, his eyes moved and shook his head, and he asked, "You and I don't know each other, I don't know how you know my name?"

"Nine years ago, at the Hundred Miles Banquet, I had the honor to see you compose a poem on the high altar. Shu Liang said slowly, nine years ago, he was still a student who followed his teacher, and when he traveled with his teacher, he saw Wen Yuan improvised a poem at a hundred miles banquet, which attracted applause from everyone.

At that time, there were two of them, one on top and one on the bottom. Shu Liang knew Wen Yuan, but Wen Yuan didn't know Shu Liang.

Wen Yuan shook his head, he couldn't remember the events at a banquet nine years ago, maybe the events of that year were just an ordinary thing for him.

"I hope you will seriously consider Guangling's support for you. Wen Yuan looked at Xiang Yiming and Shu Liang, and said slowly, "The Guangling counties have secretly rushed to Huaqing, and you must make a choice now." ”

As soon as these words fell, there was silence among several people.

The development of the situation has made them make a desperate move in advance, if this is a trap in Guangling, they will face a serious dilemma, and they will withdraw in time before the food and grass are available. But when Zhao Wuwu came to lead the army, it was impossible for them to gain the support of the scholars when there were insufficient personnel, food and grass.

"What is your purpose?" Xiang Yiming asked coldly, "General Zhao of the Yue Kingdom is coming from afar, this is not a good thing for you to make such a choice at this time." ”

Wen Yuan looked back at the six people behind him and nodded.

The official led a few people out, lifted his cuffs, and showed the imprint on his arm, "We are the subordinate family of Tianji Pavilion, and it is the order of the people above to help you." ”

"Tianji Pavilion?" Shu Liang was silent, he glanced at Xiang Yiming, knowing that Li Ziqian was a person from the Tianji Pavilion Battle Gate. But not many people understand the grievances between Dahan and Tianji Pavilion.

Although Shu Liang has military plans, he doesn't know much about the three organizations hidden in the depths.

"After the people of the battle gate go out of the battle gate, they have nothing to do with the organization. Xiang Yiming stared at the imprint on the official's arm, and he thought about the other party's words, "What is the benefit of this for Tianji Pavilion?"

The few officials withdrew their arms, and he looked at Shu Liang and Xiang Yiming, "Presumably both of you know that in the past year, the attitudes of various chambers of commerce and kingdoms on the mainland towards the mermaids have changed, and many agreements have been signed that are conducive to the development of the mermen. ”

"What does this have to do with your choice?" Xiang Yiming stared at each other, over the years, the status of the mermaids has indeed been steadily improving, and most of the various chambers of commerce on the north shore have changed their attitudes, no longer exterminating the mermen, but adopting an extremely friendly attitude.

"Tianji Pavilion hopes to promote the exchange between the shark people and the five ethnic groups on the mainland, so as to promote the development of the organization in the sea in the future. The official replied calmly, "The people above hope to support the people of the war gate to ascend to the throne and promote the communication between the ports of the Yue Kingdom and the mermaids." ”

The words of the Ling official made Xiang Yiming sneer, and he stared at the other party, "Why don't the people from Tianji Pavilion go directly to King Yue to discuss and take this risk to help us." ”

Ling and Ziwen glanced at each other, with a flat smile on the corner of their mouths.

"Because the people above need a puppet that understands, a chess piece that can be manipulated. Wen Yuan did not shy away from what he had to say, "When Li Shizi joined the Battle Gate, almost all of his information was in the organization. He paused at this point, and his words suddenly became dull, "The people above are sure that they can control the Xuzhou Business Alliance and control Li Shizi." ”

In a strange atmosphere, Xiang Yiming suddenly pulled out a silver-white sword and put it on Wen Yuan's neck. At first, he also lied to them about whether they were from Tianji Pavilion or Guangling's side, so as to win their trust and let them fall into the trap.

But Wen Yuan's undisguised words completely convinced Xiang Yiming that these people were indeed serving the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

"If you say this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Xiang Yiming's body pressed forward, his blue eyes were breathtaking, "He is not the one you should control!"
