It's really unforgiving, ten years of horse career, ten years of wandering the rivers and lakes, ten years of idle clouds and wild cranes, Shangguan Que's body is colorful, and he doesn't feel old. Duan Shuai happily held Shangguan Que's shoulder, but he didn't know that he pinched his wound, it was really injured by the pair of swordsmen just now, Shangguan Que hurriedly frowned, and Duan Shuai found that Shangguan Que had been seriously injured.

He helped Shangguan Que to sit down, and was about to ask the three people, but in the blink of an eye, the three people disappeared. Duan Shuai asked: "Senior Shangguan, you are now the father-in-law of the prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, how can you still be involved in the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes?" Shangguan Que let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard to say, Alliance Leader, I was about to go south to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!" God lives up to me. ”

"Oh? What did my seniors do with me? Duan Shuai was a little stunned. Shangguan Que said: "I have discovered a shocking conspiracy, but I am afraid that you will not believe it." Duan Shuai hurriedly said: "What the predecessors said, how can I not believe it!" Shangguan Que added: "What if this matter has something to do with your good third brother and my son-in-law?" ”

Duan Shuai was stunned, in fact, he didn't want to know what secrets Yang Xian had, could no matter how big the secret was, still affect him? But since Shangguan Que said it, he naturally took it and said, "I hope that the seniors will not hesitate to teach!" Before Shangguan Que could say anything, the wound poured out of school again, and Duan Shuai hurriedly helped him and rushed to the nearby medical hall.

Along the way, Duan Shuai felt that something was wrong, because he found that there were always people following him behind him, more or less, but Chang'an was full of people after all, and Shangguan Que's injury was serious, so he didn't care. After bandaging Shangguan Que, Duan Shuai mentioned the matter of Fang Cai again, but when Shangguan Que was about to say it, a large group of soldiers poured in, all of them were stubborn and fierce, Duan Shuai looked downstairs, only to see that there was no trace of all the people on the street, and it was full of officers and soldiers.

Duan Shuai panicked for a moment and asked, "What's going on?" Shangguan Que smiled bitterly and said, "My good son-in-law, you want to invite me back!" Duan Shuai still didn't understand, at this time, Yang Xian's personal guard suddenly came upstairs, he knew Duan Shuai. Seeing Duan Shuai, he hurriedly shouted: "The second master is fine, the little one is ordered to come here today, please go back to the house!" ”

Duan Shuai still knew him, so he asked, "On order?" On whose orders? The chief of the guard raised his clasped hands and said, "Naturally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be in charge!" Duan Shuai said, "Oh? Do you need to invite someone back to your home for such a big battle? Invite your prince over, I want to see, that's how he treats his father-in-law? ”

The captain of the guard was speechless for a while, and said slowly, "The little one... The little one is just doing what he is ordered, and if he offends the second master, he still looks forward to the second master Haihan! With a wave of his hand, the two soldiers stepped forward to take Guan Que away. Duan Shuai stopped the two people who came up, and said in a lost voice: "Go, I'll go back with you!" The head of the guard looked at Duan Shuai helplessly, and had no choice but to agree.

Duan Shuai came to the Pingtian Palace, which is now Yang Xian's mansion, the old people and old things, but everyone's identity is very different, Yang Xian knew that Duan Shuai was coming, and hurriedly said goodbye to the strategists to greet him, Duan Shuai saw Yang Xian but looked cold, and seemed to be very unhappy.

Yang Xian has been in the officialdom for many years, and he naturally saw the clues at a glance for Duan Shuai's face, and then looked at the old father-in-law behind Duan Shuai, he had some numbers in his heart, and hurriedly hugged Duan Shuai's shoulders and said loudly: "Second brother!" Long time no see! Second brother! ”

When he really wanted to hug, Duan Shuai stopped him and said: "The prince has been too many days, where can I remember my recklessness!" As he spoke, he strode inside and put Yang Xian aside. The strategists around Yang Xian all blamed the departing Duan Shuai, and only Deng Hu and Liu Changqing laughed secretly in their hearts.

Yang Xian also felt that he had lost face, but he couldn't say anything, so he just glared at Shangguan Que and followed. Shangguan Que knew that Duan Shuai was here to support him, and no matter how bold Yang Xian was, he didn't dare to do anything to him, so he followed with confidence. Duan Shuai's current identity and status are enough to shake a country, and no matter whether he is Yang Xian's second brother, the strength of the hundreds of thousands of green forest heroes he holds in his hands alone cannot be underestimated. These people in the rivers and lakes, which one is not equipped with stunts, one to fight three is really more than enough.

Yang Xian was naturally very respectful to Duan Shuai, and Duan Shuai asked sharply: "Lord Prince, do I want to say hello to you?" Yang Xian lowered his head in shame and said: "Brother is really tormenting the younger brother when he says this, you still call me the third brother, in front of the second brother, how can I be big." Duan Shuai finally regained his demeanor and continued: "Okay! Then let me ask you, did you send those yellow-haired ghosts just now? What are you going to do to your father-in-law? ”

Yang Xian was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, and when he was planning, he turned his eyes to Liu Changqing who was standing aside, Liu Changqing nodded knowingly, and hurriedly said: "Brother Duan, this is a misunderstanding of our prince, Lord Shangguan is the father-in-law of my prince, and my prince treats him like a biological father, how can he be neglected!" As for those yellow-haired ghosts, they are indeed contemptible subordinates, they are born to like to make trouble, no, seeing that Lord Shangguan's martial arts are world-famous, I have to find him to compete with him, hey, the villain is also helpless! ”

Duan Shuai was about to argue, Shangguan Que slapped the table and scolded: "Liu Changqing, you dog bastard, you talk nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" It was indeed the first time that these words came out of Shangguan Que's mouth, Duan Shuai and Yang Xian were both surprised, Liu Changqing smiled and waved his feather fan and said: "Lord Shangguan, you dissipate your anger, those three guys will definitely clean them up when I go back!" As for saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to harm you, it is really nonsense, you know, the crown princess is now pregnant with Liujia, with the blood of our Great Sui! ”

When Shangguan Que heard this, his momentum suddenly disappeared by half, and when he thought of his daughter, his heart was extremely painful, Duan Shuai asked: "Senior Shangguan, if you have anything to say, say it now, I guarantee that no one here dares to be rude to you!" As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Xian. Yang Xian smiled aggrievedly, but Shangguan Que stopped at this time, he couldn't make the secret public on this occasion, even if Duan Shuai was powerful, it was not easy to retreat from the prince's mansion, besides, now Shangguan Yue has not yet given birth, this is his biggest concern.

Shangguan Que sighed and said, "That's it, what Lord Liu said may be good!" Yang Xian took Duan Shuai's hand with relief and said, "Go!" Second brother, in this case, let's have a few drinks! Duan Shuai looked at Shangguan Que's expression, and then thought about what happened in the small hotel, he knew the subtlety of it, so he didn't want to say anything at this time, so he followed Yang Xian.

The night is very beautiful, beautiful like a girl's bright eyes, it will always make you think about it, Yang Xian was already drunk on the wine table, and Duan Shuai seemed to be a little drowsy. But at this time, a person walked in, and a sentence completely dispelled his drinking: "Dominate the world, or dominate the rivers and lakes, where will the leader of the Duan Alliance go?" ”

It was Liu Changqing who walked in, Liu Changqing's position at this time was already ranked after Deng Hu, but he was still one of the most loyal strategists in the Prince's Mansion. Duan Shuai looked at him stunned, and before he could speak, Liu Changqing said again: "Look at the person in front of you, who is he?" Duan Shuai glanced at it and said, "Brother life and death!" ”

"And what about you look at this again?" Liu Changqing said and waved his hand, and a tall and mighty general walked in from behind the door, Duan Shuai widened his eyes and was startled, this is Gao Zhan, the eldest brother of Merlin back then! Gao Zhan was already the king of Qi in the Great Sui at this time, commanding the two prefectures of Youzhou and Qingzhou, holding an army of 100,000 troops, and having the power to kill and kill, but he knew who gave him all this, it was his third brother, and he was also the current prince.

Duan Shuai hurriedly stepped forward to bow, Gao Zhan pulled him up, and said: "Good second brother, the eldest brother doesn't talk nonsense, this time I came to tell you that you must not compete with the third brother for the world!" Otherwise, you and my brother will have to go their separate ways again. Duan Shuai remembered the old incident of conspiring with Yang Xian to conspire with the Northern Qi army, Gao Zhan was the supreme commander of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time, and that was really uncomfortable.

Now that Gao Zhan said this, on the one hand, he did take into account brotherhood, but more importantly, it was the responsibility of a courtier. Liu Changqing sighed and said: "Hey, our prince is kind-hearted, if Brother Duan fights with him, he will definitely not be able to bear to be hostile, but if he doesn't fight, then he is sorry for the saint today, and the most difficult thing is him!" ”

He slowed down, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Now Brother Duan has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of martial arts masters, such a force is enough to shake any country, although my Great Sui has a million strong soldiers, but if it really fights with it, there will be countless casualties, and I hope Brother Duan will think about it carefully." ”

To be honest, Duan Shuai never thought of sitting in the country, his original intention of creating the Six Provinces Alliance was just to give an explanation to the people in the martial arts in the world, so that every martial arts person could return to his homeland, as for the spring and autumn dream of being the emperor, he would never think about it.

The night was cold, as cold as Duan Shuai's heart. He finally nodded, not wanting to defend anything more. In the past few days, Gao Zhan has been accompanying Duan Shuai to drink in the prince's mansion and talk freely about the happy things in the world, but every day that Duan Shuai passes, he feels a little more worried in his heart, he is thinking about his sick wife who is thousands of miles away, and he is also worried about his daughter who has no mother to take care of by his side, he is no longer alone, he is maintaining a whole family.

On the third day, he finally couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and resolutely chose to leave, but Gao Zhan grabbed his hand and said, "Second brother, do you really want to leave?" Duan Shuai nodded, and Gao Zhan asked again, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Duan Shuai sighed: "It's my own business, I don't want to bother my eldest brother, but your brother's wife is sick in bed, I really can't help but go back!" Duan Shuai explained what happened in detail.
