The people who ran into the cave were the heads of several heads of the Wu family's long house, the eldest lord of the Wu family, the eldest lady, the second master, the second lady, and their sons, daughters-in-law and grandsons.

These people can be regarded as the backbone of the generation of the Nan Zheng Guo Wu family.

"Quick! Go this way! ”

They walked through the darkness to the exit at the other end of the cave.

As soon as they reached the mouth of the cave at the other end, the people who were running in front had already rushed out, but soon, they heard a scream from the mouth of the cave at the other end......

"There's someone over there, too!"

The patriarchs of the Wu family's long room in the cave looked at each other, and finally found that they had become turtles who "caught turtles in the urn", and they were going to kill themselves all when they waited for the other party to make a move.

“…… Dad, I can't go here. The people who rushed out before were all dead, and the people outside didn't pay any attention to our shouts. The uncle of the Wu family trembled and said to the eldest master of the Wu family, he was the elder brother of Wu Qingqing, the crown princess of Nanzheng Kingdom, but at this time, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Go back? Will you be able to live if you go back? The face of the eldest master of the Wu family was black and white, but in the dark cave, no one could see his face clearly.

"It's better to go back than here. I remember that it was Generalissimo Xie of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom over there, and I don't know which soldier it was here, and he didn't recognize us at all. The second master of the Wu family cautiously said to the eldest master of the Wu family, "Big brother, Generalissimo Xie is actually from a civilian background, and he is more reasonable than soldiers and ruffians, and he also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. ”

The eldest master of the Wu family thought for a long time before slowly nodding and saying, "Then go back." ”

Go back to the Wu family. There were only more than 50 people left, and all the more than 50 people who ran out earlier died at the mouth of the cave.

Xie Dongli didn't wait long at the entrance of the cave on this side before he heard the footsteps of them walking back.

Although others have not heard it. But his ears are much stronger than the average person, and he can hear very clearly.

Then Yingsleeve heard the footsteps of these people, and she raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Dongli.

Xie Dongli understood what she meant, and shook his head at her slightly.

Yingsleeve bowed his head and said nothing, spinning a long whip in his hand, rubbing a nest of ants in the dead grass at his feet.

“…… Excuse me, but thank you outside...... Vice Minister Xie? The head of the old decayed witch family has something to discuss with Vice Minister Xie. "The voice of the old man of the Wu family came from the cave.

Xie Dongli's face was very calm. said indifferently: "It's Xie Dongli below, may I ask which one of the Wu family you are?" ”

"The old Wu Tenglong is the head of the Wu family." The voice of the eldest master of the Wu family was very ashamed.

Xie Dongli knew. Nan Zhengguo called the patriarch "Sect Chief", and the person who called himself Wu Tenglong should be the patriarch of the Wu family.

But he didn't believe it right away, but stood in front of the cave with his hands behind his back. smiled and said, "Are you the sect leader?" What about the evidence? You say you're the patriarch, and I believe it? ”

The Wu family actually thought about finding someone to fool Xie Dongli in the cave. It's a pity that as soon as Xie Donglian's question came out, they knew that this road would not work.

Although Xie Dongli is still young, he is really not someone they can fool at will.

The eldest lord of the Wu family sighed, walked out of the cave, and raised his right hand at Xie Dongliang.

In the center of his right palm, there is a blue-black pattern, which looks like a simplified spider and a crude sunflower.

"This is the mark of the patriarch of my Wu family. Only with this mark can he not be afraid of the Gu King. The eldest master of the Wu family said proudly. It was the glory of their ancestors, and he had always been very proud of it.

Xie Dongli carefully looked at the tattoo on the palm of the Wu family's right hand and nodded, "It's pretty much the same." With that, he turned around and stepped aside, "Grab it." ”

The eldest master of the Wu family was stunned for a moment, "Vice Minister Xie, I have something to tell you!" He shouted anxiously, no, Xie Dongli is also a person who can't speak, right?

"Grab it back to the barracks and talk again." Xie Dong didn't go back to the tunnel, and strode down the mountain.

These witch clans are no longer able to fight.

These soldiers of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom quickly stepped forward, tied up the Wu family with ropes, pulled them into a long line, and went down the mountain.

Xie Dongli returned to Daxing City and lived in the yamen of Daxing City.

The Wu family was tied up and sent over, and naturally someone took the Wu family's roster and checked it one by one at the door.

Because they came in under siege, these witch families did not escape.

Except for the forty or fifty people who died at the other end of the cave, the rest was here.

Xie Donglian's gaze swept over the Wu family members kneeling on the ground one by one, and asked in a deep voice, "...... How did you know about the cave? ”

The second master of the Wu family lowered his head and said expressionlessly: "It was Hong Yuping who told us." ”

Sure enough, it was the eldest master of the Hong family.

Xie Dongli sneered in his heart.

This Hong family is really a good plan.

When the Wu family came to attack, not only did they not think about sending a letter to the imperial court, but they led the way for other people!

If the imperial court sees that the Northern Qi State behind the Wu family is instigated and gives Daxing City to the Wu family for nothing, then their Hong family can continue to be powerful in Daxing City and continue to enjoy the treatment of the Venerable.

But this time, the imperial court did not coerce, but sent a large army to recover Daxing City!

They even dared to have the audacity to find a way back for their family, and on the condition of this unique mountain path, they threatened to give their daughter to Xie Donglian!

What a move!

If the person who came this time was not himself, but another general, their strategy would have been successful.

When Daxing City is really defeated, even if it is known afterwards that it was the Hong family who led the way for the Wu family, they will not be able to punish them.

Because this kind of treason has always been charged, the generals who accepted the daughters of the Hong family must cover it up for them.

Because at this time, if they don't cover it up and are known by others, the general will not be able to escape the charge of harboring traitors, and will even be suspected of being in the same league as traitors!

"Master Hong? Hehe, this Master Hong is really broad! Xie Dongli sneered. hugged his fist in the direction of Biezhuang, "Fortunately, the queen mother is dedicated to the public and eradicates such traitors who are treason and leads the way for my Dongyuan Kingdom!" ”

The second master of the Wu family didn't hear what he said. Raising his head, he glanced at Xie Dongli quickly, "Queen Mother?" What does Vice Minister Xie mean ......? ”

"I want to teach you to know that our queen mother of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom also came to Daxing City in person this time to serve the country. Although the Hong family is kind to the queen, it is a small section. They helped you people from the Southern Zheng Kingdom to lead the way, kill the officials and people of our Dongyuan Kingdom, and seize the cities of our Dongyuan Kingdom. When he was punished for treason, he had been ordered by the queen mother to destroy the whole house. Xie Dongli picked up his long knife. Wiped it carefully with a cloth, the knife was bright, and the Wu family kneeling in the hall was about to faint.

"Thank you, Vice Minister for spare your life! Thank you for sparing your life! The Wu family, who had been frightened, finally collapsed and kowtowed. There was a thump of heads hitting the ground in the hall.

Xie Dongli put down the long knife. Ordered people to drag all the Wu family members down, detain them separately, each in a cell, and did not allow them to talk to each other or collude confessions, and then ordered people to extract the Wu family members one by one and go through the court for questioning.

The first person to ask was Wu Tenglong, the eldest master of the Wu family.

From his mouth, Xie Dongli knew the situation of the Wu family.

It turned out that he really escaped from Nan Zheng Guo. There is only one branch of the Wu family's eldest room, and the other four rooms of the Wu family and the distant relatives of the side branches are hiding in Nanzheng State. And did not escape.

After they escaped, they originally wanted to blend into the Dongyuan Kingdom and live in seclusion in the Dongyuan Kingdom, in order to plan for the future, but they didn't expect the Dongyuan Kingdom to suddenly close the border to the Southern Zheng Kingdom, and no one was allowed to come over, and even smuggling was killed.

The Northern Qi State accepted them temporarily, but only for a month, and after a month, they either returned to the Southern Zheng State or further west, and went further into exile.

The Wu family's Changfang branch is used to enjoying blessings, where is they willing to go into exile farther to the west, and they can't go back to the South Zheng State, so in the end, they agreed to the instigation of the Northern Qi State, and took the Wu family's generals and a thousand men and horses supported by the Northern Qi State to secretly come to the junction of the Three Kingdoms and beat Daxing City.

Originally, with the topography of Daxing City, it should be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, before the Northern Qi State launched its own ambush in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and then the Hong family of Hongjia Village offered a path from the back mountain to enter the city without knowing it, and the Wu family entered Daxing City almost bloodlessly, first killed and beheaded a few Daxing City guards and Tongzhi who refused to give in to them, and then opened the gate of Daxing City in the middle of the night, so that a large number of Wu generals and a thousand Northern Qi soldiers disguised as Wu family generals entered the city and completely controlled Daxing City.

The Northern Qi Kingdom immediately recognized that Daxing City was owned by the Wu family.

They originally thought that with the support of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Eastern Yuan Kingdom would only lose its teeth and swallow blood, and eat this dumb loss.

They didn't expect that Xie Dongli would actually take the initiative to invite Ying, and bring the right army, the weakest army of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, to Daxing City to seize the city!

Of course, they didn't expect that Xie Dongli, a civil official, was even more powerful than a general, not only able to fight well, but also strategic......

Xie Dongli interrogated all the remaining men of the Wu family with an expressionless face, warned them not to talk nonsense, and fooled them that someone else had already recruited them, and if they dared to lie, they immediately pulled out and lit the sky lantern!

The Wu family is in the name of the Great Witch in Nanzheng Kingdom, and I don't know how many ordinary people who dare to disrespect their Wu family have lit the sky lanterns, and now it is their turn to point out, one by one, they are soft and soft, and they are afraid of being unhappy, for fear of forgetting a little small place, and they will be lit by this handsome and elegant Xiangye......

So in this kind of cross-interrogation, Xie Dongli finally got a more detailed and accurate set of information about the Wu family and the royal family of Nan Zhengguo.

When you fight a war, you want accurate information about yourself and your opponent.

Late at night, Xie Dongli returned to the back hall where he used to sleep inside, and saw Yingsleeve holding his head and sitting under the lamp napping.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Xie Dongli said softly and sat down beside her.

Ying Sleeve woke up, saw Xie Dongli coming, and hurriedly said, "Are you done asking?" ”

Xie Dongli nodded, "After asking, Nan Zhengguo's side, it seems that there are really a lot of hidden dangers." ”

"What's the matter with us?" Yingsleeve frowned, "The messier they are, the better it will be for us." ”

In the past, only the Southern Zheng State and the Northern Qi State were strong, and the weak Eastern Yuan State was sandwiched between the two great powers and was bullied.

Xie Dongli smiled and said, "You can't say that. They're going to be too messy, and it's us who suffer. Therefore, to maintain the best state of Nam Jung-kook is not to be strong, but it must not be too chaotic. ”

"Yo, you're asking too much." Yingsleeve giggled, "You're asking the horses to run and not allowing them to graze." After a pause, she said again: "In the end, Zheng Hao's country, if it makes a mess, he won't feel good." ”

Xie Dongli stretched out his hand and wanted to caress her back, but halfway through, he remembered his red rash and slowly retracted it.

He leaned back on the back of the Taishi chair and replied lightly: "Yes, Nan Zhengguo has Zheng Hao, so I left them." Otherwise, wouldn't it be good to change the name to Dongyuan South Zhengzhou? ”

Yingsleeve sneered at him, "So powerful? Say swallow it? Aren't you afraid of breaking your stomach? ”

Xie Dongli also knew that this was a big deal, with the current national strength of the Dongyuan Kingdom, if he wanted to swallow the Nanzheng Kingdom, he would definitely have indigestion, and maybe in a few decades, when his generation was gone, the Nanzheng Kingdom would swallow the Dongyuan Kingdom instead.

He snorted and quipped: "Xiangye, who doesn't want to dominate the world, is not a good marshal." However, since the marshal's wife was merciful, the marshal let them go for the time being to see the aftermath. ”

"You know the poor mouth! I can't talk to you anyway. Ying Sleeve glanced at him, he was used to his state.

"Let me tell you something, the queen has wiped out the Hong family." Xie Dongli was silent for a while, leaned over, and whispered in Yingsleeve's ear, "Of course, they also deserve it," he said, and told Yingsleeve about the things he had tried in front ......of the court.

When Ying Ying knew that this Hong family was actually the "leading party", she was immediately furious and annoyed: "This is too much! It's about taking advantage of it! ”

"Yes, I'm too greedy, I hunt geese all day long, and I will still be pecked by geese after all." Xie Dongli rubbed his forehead, "I'm sleepy, the marshal's wife will sleep with the marshal." So saying, he stretched out his arm, held her waist with his sleeves, and led her to the back room.

The two didn't talk all night and slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Xie Dongli ordered someone to go to Nan Zhengguo to report first, saying that he had caught the person in the Wu family's eldest room, and asked Emperor Nan Zhengguo what he thought.

Xie Dongli led his troops to fight Daxing City, and the people of Nanzheng State were not idle, and the Emperor of Nanzheng Guo had already brought his queen and prince to the edge of the border to watch this big battle.

As soon as Xie Dongli's envoy crossed the border, he met the subordinates of Emperor Changxing of the Southern Zheng State and was taken straight to see Emperor Changxing.

The crown princess Wu Qingqing also followed the prince, she heard that her father and mother brother were caught by Xie Dongxuan, she was surprised and delighted, and pulled the prince and begged: "Your Highness, please be sure to bring the concubine's father and mother back!" And the elder brother and younger brother and nephew of the concubine......"

"All the people in the Wu family's long house have been caught?" Emperor Changxing's eyes lit up, "Go back and tell your marshal and ask him if he can hand over the person to me Nan Zhengguo to deal with." ”

Xie Dongli listened to the report and said with a light smile: "Except for the eldest master of the Wu family and his wife, everyone else can talk, as long as they agree to my conditions." After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to behead the eldest lord and his wife of the Wu family on the spot, and send the heads to the camp of Nan Zhengguo on the opposite side.

This family has killed so many subjects of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and they still want to get out?

It's a dream, don't be too beautiful!
