Holding the yellow mounted paper presented by the archer Luo San, Xiao Ting was surprised and delighted, and his cold face changed color rarely. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The joy is that at this time, there are still people who claim to be aspiring to be with him, and they have the meaning of fighting side by side for Nan Chen's immortal country. Surprisingly, the person who secretly left a message was also surnamed Xiao. I wonder if it's a coincidence?

Anyway, Xiao Ting was still very happy to learn that he was not fighting alone on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the one hand, he waited for the reply of Emperor Song according to the etiquette of diplomatic relations, entertained with officials of the Great Song Dynasty during the day, and haunted the vicinity of the Qin Mansion and the Jiang family like a nighthawk at night, inquiring about possible turnarounds. On the side, quietly waiting for the new evidence in Xiao Wulang's letter.

Seeing the New Year, the mysterious man Xiao Wulang did not have any new evidence to present, but only sent a letter from the flying pigeon, saying that the situation had changed and he was in a hurry to return to Qingzhou. Jingzhong left manpower, and if necessary, he could go to Wuyi Lane to find a person named Xia Cheng to help.

Xiao Ting was worried about this message at the moment. The matter of asking the Great Song Dynasty to send troops has not yet been followed, and it is not feasible to take the road of Qin Yuanhua, so he also tried it hard, but the matter was not done, and he broke up happily.

The conversation with Jiang Li on the upper floor of Taibai Ju was deliberately to block Qin Yuanhua. Anyway, the matter couldn't be talked about anymore, and he didn't want to see Qin Yuanhua's face anymore.

Xiao Ting finally left the window, turning around and staring at the two guards, one tall and one short. They were sent out two days ago to find out the news.

As soon as the black robe was unfurled, a dark cloud approached in front of him, and Xiao Ting walked up to the two and stopped. The tall man couldn't calm down anymore, and the only trace of wisdom in his eyes became anxious, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, and said cautiously, "Master, there are two pieces of news, one good and one bad, which one do you listen to first?" ”

"Say!" Xiao Ting frowned, as cold as ever.

The tall man was Xiao Ting's escort on this trip, and when he heard the words, he still chose a good one and said first: "The good news is that Xiao Wulang is one of the bandit leaders on Qingfeng Village on the border of the Three Kingdoms." The fifth in the village, the gang who went up the mountain twelve years ago, no one knows the origin of his real name. ”

Twelve years ago? It just happens to be surnamed Xiao! Xiao Ting's heart sank, and the coldness on his face increased a little.

The tall guard secretly looked at Xiao Ting's uncertain face, figured out a little bit of his master's intentions, and said in a soothing tone: "Qingzhou is located on the border of the Three Kingdoms, except for the slightly different surnames in the land of Dayan barbarians, even the Great Song Dynasty is full of people with the surname Xiao, and it is not surprising that there are people surnamed Xiao among the people who enter the mountains to become bandits. Although Xiao Wulang's origin is unknown, it cannot be said that it is related to my Nanchen royal family. ”

"And," the tall guard paused slightly, weighing his words, "we are now isolated, Qingfeng Village is surrounded by mountains and water villages, and its power has gradually grown over the years, if you look at their drills and battles in previous years, there are probably no less than tens of thousands of people in the village." Having their help unexpectedly should be good news for our current situation. ”

With a soft snort, the corners of Xiao Ting's mouth pulled a wry smile. Unexpectedly, the dignified prince of Nan Chen was reduced to the point of carefully weighing a bandit's overtures.

Although there was a trace of disdain in his heart, he was as arrogant as he had to admit that tens of thousands of bandits, for Nan Chen's current situation, might really be able to act as the last straw in the future.

Nan Chen's situation was critical, and for a while, Xiao Ting couldn't think about the changes in the palace more than ten years ago. If it is really Xiao Jiaerlang, being willing to help him Xiao Ting at this time is enough to show that the family and the country hate it, and that person is very clear.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ting no longer hesitated, the gloom on his face was temporarily empty, and he decisively accepted the help of Xiao Wulang, who was of unknown origin, "Since we are friends and not enemies, let's go to Wuyi Lane to contact that Xia Cheng according to what he said." ”

"Not only do we have to connect, but we also have to hurry. Because, I'm afraid we're in trouble again! The tall guard could no longer hide his panic and said hurriedly.

Xiao Ting heard it, this was the bad news they wanted to say as soon as they entered the door.

"Tell me, did Dayan attack Kyoto?" Xiao Ting had already prepared for the worst, and his face sank like water.

"Not really." The guard hastened to answer. Glancing sideways, Humpty Dumpty Marksman, who had been standing silently the whole time. There is a great sense of waiting for him to receive the punishment himself.

As long as it's not the news of Nan Chen Guopo! Xiao Ting breathed a sigh of relief silently. Raising his eyebrows and glancing at Luo San, who was squinting and trembling, Xiao Ting's tone raised a little, "Say, what are you causing trouble again?" ”

"No, I didn't blame it." Almost a fat man with the same length, width and height, Luo Sanyi spoke, but his voice was a little sissy. "I can also distinguish the priorities of things, when the national crisis is at hand, how can I cause trouble for you on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Didn't I win glory for the country this time? After Luo San finished speaking, he tried to open his little eyes with grievances and grievances, and smiled at his master.

Seeing that Xiao Ting's cold face showed no signs of thawing, and he knew that what he was going to say next was not a joke, Luo Sanyi had a big belly, stood upright, and replied loudly: "Today I was invited to participate in the friendly competition of archers from several countries, this time I didn't release the water, and directly threw that Qin Yuanhua through dozens of rings, and won the first place far ahead." ”

Xiao Ting's face froze, he remembered very well that this Luo San had won the first place last time, and he had already rewarded him. It's okay to show off in front of him, can't you ask for a reward? Xiao Ting threw a cold look at him.

Raising his head to meet the eye knife thrown by Xiao Ting, he trembled all over, and hurriedly got to the point, "The problem is, when they came back from the celebration party held for me in the afternoon at the military department, I found that there was one less guard I brought out in the morning. The guard hasn't come back yet. ”

As soon as the words came out, the room fell silent. It is not a trivial matter that someone from a visiting envoy is missing, especially at the juncture when Nan Chen came to ask for help and wait for the result. If the missing guard came back, I was afraid that someone had secretly done something wrong, had an accident, or was used by someone with ulterior motives, then the situation would be very different.

Rao is Xiao Ting has always been calm and cold, and now he is also a little uneasy.

I'm really afraid that something will happen. The next day, the missing guard still hadn't returned.

Xiao Ting entered the palace with a few guards, and just after reporting that someone in the envoy group was missing, he asked for help in finding it. The foreign minister who received him spoke very politely, and repeatedly assured Xiao Ting that he would be looking for someone urgently. He also said that there had been an accident in Beijing recently, and Xiao Ting and his party had to go out for activities, so please go back to the post house and wait for news.

When I left the palace, I saw that the guard at the palace gate was strengthened, and the soldiers on patrol saw a group of Nanchen people coming out of the palace, their expressions were different from usual, and they were slightly weird. Xiao Ting took the luxurious carriage prepared for him by Da Song to the post house as usual, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
