The city lord and the officials went to the city gate to greet them.

The city lord of Danzhou City is named Xue Xintang, who is a family of the Xianwu Empire, and the people of the Xue family are also second-grade officials of the imperial court, wearing a purple court uniform, wearing Xue Xintang, a little old man, who looks particularly spiritual.

Seeing Xue Xintang coming straight here with a group of people, Guo Jingxiang took the lead in dismounting, greeted him directly, and hurriedly said, "Why did you come out in person?"

The words are extremely respectful, even more respectful and polite than when talking to Zhan Tianxia.

"Alas, my body is stiff, it's still trivial to come out to greet you, you don't have to worry. ”

Xue Xintang said disapprehantly.

"Okay, I'm too much, your body is still very strong, it's trivial to live another hundred years, ah, hahaha. ”

Guo Jingxiang also held him and said.

"You kid can talk, so let's not introduce these guys. ”

Saying that, the topic of Xue Xintang turned to Yang Yunchao and Zhan Debang beside Guo Jingxiang.

"Alas, you see, I just cared about talking to you, I forgot to introduce it, let me introduce it to you, this is the main reason for my decree this time, leading the unicorn cavalry regiment to annihilate most of the unicorn cavalry regiment commander who came to attack the beast tide, General Yang Yunchao Yang. ”

Guo Jingxiang took the lead in introducing Yang Yunchao, Yang Yunchao was the main person in the imperial court's recall to Beijing, and he should be introduced first.

"Oh, it turned out to be General Yang, I have heard about you leading the one-horned cavalry regiment to annihilate most of the beast tide that came to attack, it really deserves to be the ace legion of my Xianwu Empire, it is really extraordinary, this is not a shot, a shot is amazing, this time I am afraid that I will be promoted to a knight when I return to Beijing, and the future is immeasurable." ”

Xue Xintang affirmed Yang Yunchao's achievements, and his words were full of praise, but it was not difficult to hear from his words that this little old man was not easy to mess with.

Take how long it has only been since the unicorn cavalry regiment summoned the unicorn army soul and was promoted to the ace legion, if you want to say that the Xuanyuan royal family, the military department, and the cabinet, these Xianwu Empire officials know it, after all, the intelligence department of the imperial court has always been unfathomable, and it has mastered all the large and small information of the entire Xianwu Empire, its power, its might, and its ruthlessness, and the whole empire is frightened, for their intelligence capabilities, Yang Yunchao has been prepared for a long time, and he didn't think about how long he could hide it.

And how did Xue Xintang, a city lord of Danzhou City, know, the forces behind this have to be thought-provoking, looking at Guo Jingxiang's speech and attitude, coupled with the experience of the war family, so even if Yang Yunchao didn't know much about the Xue family, he still took out his attitude towards the world and was respectful.

"Lord Xue has a good reputation, all the soldiers under his command are brave, I just picked up a bargain, as the commander of the unicorn cavalry regiment, I got this credit that should not belong to me, I am really ashamed, this credit should be all the soldiers under my command. ”

Yang Yunchao is modest and cautious, but he is not a timid person, since this Xue Xintang knows that the unicorn cavalry regiment under his Yang Yunchao has been officially promoted to the ace legion, then he might as well remind him who is leading this new trump card legion, and who is leading it to summon the military spirit.

The two seem to be in harmony, but in fact, the verbal confrontation is intensifying, the contest between the old fox and the old fritter in the officialdom is really inferior, although Yang Yunchao has suffered some losses, but the ability that he has been practicing in the officialdom all the year round has prevented him from being defeated.

Guo Jingxiang obviously also found that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Old Xue, look at this, let me introduce you, this is the eldest son of the lord of Zhan City, Zhan Debang." ”

Zhan Debang saw that Guo Jingxiang brought the topic to himself in order to ease the atmosphere, which made him a little unhappy watching the play silently, but he still answered: "Junior, Zhan Debang, I have seen Lord Xue. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Zhan's son, Zhan Debang, good name, good name, just like his father Zhan Tianxia, it is a name full of grandeur and ambition, as the so-called name can be seen from the name of this person's life, it seems that Xiao Zhan is an ambitious person. ”

Xue Xintang had a gentle smile, like a kind and loving old man, but the words that came out of his mouth were as if he wanted to kill someone.

Ambition, just these three words, no matter in which dynasty, no matter in what time period, are the words of murder and punishment, if this is once passed into the ears of those in power, the end can be imagined, originally Zhan Tianxia sent his son over and asked him to follow Yang Yunchao to the capital, which was to send an "important hostage" to the Xuanyuan royal family , in order to relax the Xuanyuan royal family's vigilance against the fighters, but Xue Xintang's irresponsible statement may make everything that the war world has done, and all the hollow out of his efforts to remove himself from the Xuanyuan royal family's recipes will be nullified, and all his efforts and efforts will be wasted at once.

Fortunately, the war world is not here, otherwise I would have jumped up and hacked Xue Xintang's heart, you old thing, I spent so much effort to lay out the bureau, you can analyze my war family with ambition based on a name, why don't you go to heaven?

However, although Zhan Tianxia is not here, Zhan Debang will not look at Xue Xintang's nonsense.

Although he didn't know his father's calculations, he knew that no matter how he said that their Zhan family had anti-heart and ambition, that is, they wanted them to die, and until they died, this Zhan Debang could no longer abide by the etiquette and law, respect the old and love the young.

"Lord Xue, what you said is not right, my Zhanjia has been loyal to the Xianwu Empire, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, and the Emperors of all dynasties for generations, this is obvious to all, every generation of my Zhanjia will have people join the army, defend the frontier for the Xianwu Empire, and even get the reward of the Ming Cheng Emperor for this, specially named my Zhan family, eternal life and eternity, every child and grandchild must have the surname Zhan, in order to be a knife of the empire, to expand the territory of the empire, and you now question the surname and name of our Zhan family, do you have an opinion on the reward of the Ming Cheng Emperor, or do you have an opinion on the Ming Cheng Emperor himselfHuh?"

With Zhan Debang's reasoned and well-founded debate, Xue Xintang was just a casual remark, but now he can't get off the stage.

And at this point, Zhan Debang's rebuttal was not finished, only to see him He continued: "And my father fought the world, and the world behind him does represent ambition, but this ambition also represents my father's dedication to the Xianwu Empire, for the contemporary emperor to expand the territory, for Xuanyuan and the Emperor Su to fight all the enemies in the world, what's wrong with this?" As for my name, De, it is my father who wants me to be a virtuous person, not like some people, who will only reverse black and white, and there is no distinction between right and wrong, and my father, as the name suggests, wants me to use De to Anbang, to De to Anbang, to De Anmin, and to make my duty as a courtier, what is wrong with this? Where does this show our ambition? Like Lord Xue Cheng, with the heart of a villain, making random speculations out of nothing, talking nonsense without evidence, I don't know what reputation you have, what virtue you have, the common people who come to Andanzhou City, the common people who come to Andanzhou?"

Xue Xintang, who asked these words, was speechless, he really didn't expect that he would say it casually, press the eldest son of the Zhan family, and let him know that if he knew who the master of Danzhou City was, he would be refuted like this, and he didn't expect that this Zhan Debang person was not big, but this mouth was very sharp, and for a while, Xue Xintang couldn't find the words to refute it at all.
