The soldier did not show weakness and hugged his fists, "In the next Li Maokui, I am willing to make this bet with the girl, if I lose in the next, I will definitely pour tea and water for the girl, and cook for myself." Zhen Ling Yan said, "There is no joke in the army!" "There is no joke in the army."

Xue Tianao was originally a person who loved to be lively, and when he saw the two of them betting, he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will testify, if the loser does not fulfill his promise, this general will be dealt with by the warlord." He paused slightly, glanced at the audience, and saw that his morale had increased greatly, "Set off from Keyang City ahead!" "Let's go!" Zhenling and that Li Maokui walked out of the hall side by side, Zhentian followed behind her, and shook his head helplessly, it seemed that Zhenling had forgotten that she was going to Mingyu to fight and kill Mingyu's soldiers? Isn't it like the one who killed himself? She's too fond of being pushy.

However, before the army left Wuzhou City, Xue Tianao got the news of the spies, Yan Guo attacked from the east, and had captured two prefectures and counties in a row, approaching Wuzhou City, and now 100,000 Yan troops in the east are rushing to Wuzhou City, if no one stops, they can arrive in Wuzhou in two days.

After hearing this news, Xue Tianao immediately asked his subordinates to stop attacking Keyang City, retreat to Wuzhou, and discuss the future battle.

The state of Wei is located in the north, the state of Chu is located in the southwest of the state of Wei and the border south of the Wei state, and the state of Yan is located in the southeast of the state of Wei. Among them, the territory of Wei is the largest, the richest, in the past, Chu and Yan were all vassals to Wei, after Tang Siqi ascended the throne, the two countries frequently invaded the border of Wei, and seized the territory of Wei.

In order to make peace, Wei sent the princess and relatives, but the princess eloped halfway, provoking Chu and Yan to unite to attack Wei. At this time, although the Chu army was defeated and retreated, the Yan State was even more rampant.

Xue Tianao led the troops to resist the Chu State, Tang Siqi sent another general to resist the Yan State, he heard about the fiasco a few days ago, and he never thought that the Yan State would break through the defense line and attack here. Xue Tianao hurriedly sent someone to investigate the news, only to learn that the generals who resisted the Yan State were all wiped out, and the generals led by them were beheaded for public display.

Xue Tianao returned to the Wuzhou Mansion and discussed with his subordinates that if the rebels and the Yan army attacked him at the same time at this time, he would definitely be overwhelmed. Li Maokuiti, "General Xue, at this time, the imperial court must have known that if we stick to Wuzhou and prevent the Yan army from attacking, it will not be a problem, but if the Yan army goes directly north, and then the west becomes a siege, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to break through at that time." Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was better to let the imperial court send reinforcements. ”

This is exactly what Xue Tianao is worried about. Therefore, he sent Baili to explain the situation in Wuzhou to the emperor at this time, and asked him to send reinforcements as much as possible. Otherwise, Xue Tianao alone would not be able to resist the siege of two-faced people.

Zhen Ling heard that Xue Tianao's situation was very unoptimistic at this time, her brows were tightly locked, and after the generals retreated, she stopped Xue Tianao, "General Xue, I have something to tell you below." Xue Tianao was slightly stunned and looked at Zhen Ling, "Zhen Ling girl, what's the matter?" She took a deep breath, "We got news from the spies of the Chu army, Guo Ping, the crown prince of the Chu army, served as a general and personally led the troops to attack Wei again, and now their army has reached the border and is stationed in Hezhou. ”

Xue Tianao's face sank even more, "Where did Miss Zhenling get such news?" Zhen Ling smiled, "Naturally, it is in the hands of those people in the original Qingfeng Garden, although the Qingfeng Yuan has been dispersed, but we are still in contact with each other, but this kind of news is not just given in vain." Remember to give me the money that should have been given to me when you go back. Xue Tianao took a deep breath and stared at Zhen Ling, although he still didn't have complete trust in them, but he didn't have so much doubt, this time he sent troops to let them go to the battlefield, just to see if they were loyal, "The news you got is true?" "It's true!" Zhenling said, "Since we have taken refuge in you, we will definitely contribute to you, but what we deserve must be that Xue Gongzi will not be stingy." ”

Xue Tianao chuckled, "If you want money, what I have is it, as long as you have such value." "In fact, the reason why Zhentian and Zhenling were left behind was also to think about using the people of Qingfeng Yuan in the past, these killers got the most accurate information, and sometimes even surpassed the spies under him, and they were all strong in martial arts and neat in their work.

Especially after he knew that Mingjun had taken the people of Qingfeng Yuan to join the Chu army, he wanted to use people like Zhenling to deal with Mingjun even more. Because only they know the famous king best.

Zhen Ling smiled, "There is naturally value, but General Xue doesn't seem to trust us very much, so even if we know some things, we don't know how to mention them to General Xue." Xue Tianao looked at her and seemed to have something to say, and asked, "Miss Zhenling can say everything!" ”

Zhen Ling nodded, "Since General Xue believes in us, then I will tell you a few more things, we have found the whereabouts of Mingjun, he is now in Hezhou, he has military power in his hands, and there are many people from Qingfeng Yuan who follow him around and work hard for him, the reason why Yan Guo won a great victory and killed the soldiers of Wei State is actually the Ming Jun manipulation behind his back, some soldiers died at home inexplicably, all thanks to the killers of Qingfeng Yuan, the soldiers were killed inexplicably, which led to continuous rumors in the army, and the Yan army took advantage of the situation to enter and capture two states and counties in a row, Let the Wei army be annihilated. ”

Xue Tianao didn't know that there was a matter of the famous monarch here, the soldiers who resisted the Yan Kingdom were Prime Minister Zuo, that is, Xiao Man's subordinates, he seemed that Xiao Wanyao's sake, and the two armies were far apart, so he didn't pay too much attention to that side.

Seeing Xue Tianao's calm face, Zhen Ling continued, "Mingjun was sent by the Chu army to help the Yan army, no wonder the Chu army was too confident, so he didn't make good use of Mingjun's ability, and as a result, the Yan army won a complete victory, but he was defeated, and now Mingjun has been recalled by the Chu army, and Guo Ping, the prince of Chu, has personally led his troops to the battle, this time General Xue may not be so easy to win the Chu army." ”

Although Xue Tianao knew that his situation was not very good, Zhen Ling still felt a little uncomfortable when he said this, "Does Zhen Ling girl look down on our Wei Jun so much?" Zhen Ling smiled, "It's not that you underestimate the Wei army, it's just that you are outnumbered, no matter how capable you are, you can't resist thousands of troops alone." ”

Xue Tianao had to admit that what Zhen Ling said was right, he was silent for a moment, and then looked at Zhen Ling again, "If what you said is true, the money will naturally be indispensable to you." But why don't you let your men work for me directly? Zhen Ling laughed again, "General Xue is really greedy!" I just sold you a few pieces of information, but you want my people, I know that General Xue reuses talents, but forget it, we people only live for money. ”

After saying that, Zhenling turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xue Tianao, and said coldly, "If you are just for money, even if I give you more, as long as the money given by the other party is higher than mine, won't you directly betray me?" Zhen Ling stood and glanced back at him, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Then it depends on whether General Xue dares to trust us." After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Xue Tianao standing there thinking about the deep meaning of Zhen Ling's last words.

In the evening, Zhenling secretly went to see Xiao Wanyao again, but this time she came prepared, not long after Zhenling and Xiao Wanyao met, a person secretly appeared again, and was caught by Zhentian, who had been prepared for a long time.

Xiao Wanyao separated Zhu'er and Cui'er early in the morning, so they didn't come back until at least two hours later, while Xue Tianao had been with his generals to discuss how to resist the Yan army, so at this time, no one would care about Xiao Wanyao, the attendant who was caught by Zhentian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shivered, Zhenling roared angrily, "Say, who asked you to spy on us?" ”

Xiao Wanyao sat upright, staring at the attendant below, her eyes became heavier and heavier, the attendant kowtowed again and again, and kept shouting for mercy, "The slave doesn't know who the other party is." ”

Zhenling stepped forward and kicked him, "Believe it or not, the old lady killed you!" Tell me who it is? The waiter's head kept ringing, "Girl, spare your life, girl, spare your life!" I didn't know who it was, so he broke into my room and said let me keep an eye on you and gave me a lot of money, I didn't want to do it, but he said if I didn't do it, he would kill me, and he would kill my whole family. The girl spares her life, the girl spares her life! ”

Xiao Wanyao stared at the attendant, and Zhen Ling wanted to intimidate him, but she stopped him, "Are you a local?" Xiao Wanyao asked softly, "How long have you been in this mansion?" ”

The attendant naturally recognized Xiao Wanyao, and when he saw her question, he hurriedly replied, "The slave is a local, and he has lived in the local area for generations, before Wuzhou was occupied by the Chu army, the slave was here to serve the adults, although there was a war, but our family really had nowhere to go, so they stayed." ”

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, "The other party only said that you should spy on us, but did you say what you should do?" The attendant hurriedly shook his head, "Girl, spare your life!" We are all people who do our duty, and if it weren't for the man who threatened with his life, the slave wouldn't have done such a thing. Xiao Wanyao continued to ask, "What did you say to that person?" Tell me everything you said. ”

The attendant kowtowed again and begged for mercy, "The servant only saw the girl go out to meet a man in black last time, and then the trivial things of daily life were all returned to that person." Hearing this, Zhen Ling was stunned, pulled out the long sword and put it on his neck, and the attendant was immediately frightened, and his face changed greatly, "Then do you know what that man in black looks like?" Who is it? The squire hurriedly said, "The minions don't know, and they don't see clearly!" It's just a man in black, who is too far away at night, and he doesn't see men and women. Hearing this, Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhen Ling to take the long sword away.

Xiao Wanyao got up and walked in front of the attendant, "There is a silver ticket here, enough for you to leave here with your family and find other places to settle down, this matter must not be told to others, if that person knows that you sue us for this, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape death, before he notices, hurry up and leave here with the money." Quake added, "If you don't do what we say, we will be the ones who killed you." "Where did the attendant dare to say anything else, I thought he would die here, but I didn't expect to get a sum of money to leave, so naturally I was very grateful, took the silver ticket and left in a hurry.

Xiao Wanyao said to Zhentian, "Send someone to follow him, make sure he doesn't reveal the news here, and make sure he leaves here safely." Earthquake nodded and left. Xiao Wanyao sat down again, Zhen Ling put away her long sword, and asked strangely, "Miss, who do you think will be staring at us behind our backs?" ”R1154
