Qin Xiao didn't know if this guy was moved by his true feelings, or if he was so aggrieved because of the fat in his mouth.

But crying in public is really a bit of a laugh and cry.

walked over and patted Chen Zhitai on the shoulder, before he could speak, Chen Zhitai glanced up at Qin Xiao, burst into tears, hugged Qin Xiao's thigh, and said while crying: "Big brother, I am in love with her, I thought that I would finally get through it and get the silver reward from the eldest son, and I could live a good life with her in the future." Who knew that she would go like this, I feel so sad in my heart......! ”

"Chen is in charge .....!"

"Don't call me Chen." Chen Zhitai immediately said: "I don't want to have anything to do with here in the future, just call me Chen Laosan." Then he began to cry.

Qin Xiao sighed and said, "The deceased is gone, the third child, you mourn and change." ”

"I finally fell in love with a woman, and it was gone." Chen Zhitai snorted and cried: "I'm unwilling, I'm so sad." ”

"There is no grass at the end of the world." Qin Xiao saw that he was crying sadly, squatted down, and persuaded: "The second lady is dead, I know you are very sad, but you can't keep crying." There are many beautiful women in the world today, and you can always meet more beautiful women in the future, and maybe you can meet a woman you really like. You can't be with the second lady, you can only say that you have no fate, and you can meet someone who is really destined in the future. ”

Chen Zhitai wiped a handful of tears and said gratefully: "Big brother, when you say this, I feel much better." ”

By dawn, the important places on the mountain had been searched, in addition to the knife storehouse, there was also a granary for storing grain, and tens of thousands of taels of silver and some jewelry and antiques were also found.

Yuwen Chengchao was in charge, and divided the silver collected into two parts, one part was rewarded to the generals who entered the Jigong Gorge this time, and the other part was used as a coil and distributed to the surrendered bandits and dismissed.

As for several cottage leaders, including Zhang Shubao, they will naturally not be easily pardoned, escorted to Fengganfu City, and handed over to the Metropolitan Protectorate for processing.

Yuwen Chengchao knew very well in his heart that most of the bandits on the mountain were forced to fall into the grass out of desperation, and if they could hold on, they would not have come to this point.

In fact, these people put down their weapons, they are ordinary people, and they do not pose much of a threat to the government.

Yuwen Chengchao spared their lives and sent them home, and the bandits were naturally grateful.

Yuwen Chengchao actually understands that many of these people who are put back will live again and keep to themselves, but there must be some people who will fall into the grass, but he said before that he would abandon his weapons and surrender, so he let them live, and naturally he will not go back on his word.

If these people come back one day, it will not be too late to kill them when the time comes.

By noon, most of the bandits had gone down the hill and left.

Yuan Shangyu ordered his subordinates to transport the weapons and food they found down the mountain, and some fortifications on the mountain were burned with a fire, and at dusk, Qin Xiao had already gone down the mountain with Yuwen Chengchao.

Before Yuan Shangyu had sent people back to the city to mobilize vehicles to come over, before dark, dozens of cars rushed to the bottom of the mountain, and after the goods were loaded into the car, Yuwen Chengchao called Qin Xiao: "You take someone to escort the convoy back to the city, Yuan Tong and I will go back first, and I have something to see my father." ”

Qin Xiao knew that nine times out of ten it was because of the matter of the knife storehouse, Yuwen Chengchao obviously realized that the problem was serious, so he wanted to take Yuan Shangyu to see the old marquis in person.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it

Motorcade. Qin Xiao arched his hand.

Yuwen Chengchao patted Qin Xiao's arm and said to Fat Fish: "The madman is injured, and when you go back to the city, you have to find a doctor to take a look, Fat Fish, you stay and escort the convoy back with Wang Xiao, and Dapeng and the madman will go back with me." ”

Fat Fish said yes.

Yuan Shangyu left fifty cavalry to escort the convoy, and the other soldiers returned directly to the camp, while he followed Yuwen Chengchao to the direction of Fucheng.

It was getting late, Qin Xiao rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, and the fat fish rode a horse to follow.

Although many people died in the encirclement and suppression of Ding Zixiu this time, it can be said that it was victorious at the lowest cost.

Although not everyone knows how Qin Xiao captured Ding Zixiu, most people have heard that the mountain bandits were wiped out so smoothly only because Wang Qixiao captured the head of the thief and made great contributions.

didn't shed too much blood, and they also received a lot of rewards, the soldiers were naturally happy in their hearts, and the eyes of Qin Xiao were even different from before.

Qin Xiao was not complacent because of his first achievement.

Instead, he had palpitations.

If I failed, I am afraid that I would have become a corpse on the mountain by now.

Because of the fight between the gate valve and the bandits, he almost gave his life here, and Qin Xiao only felt that it was not worth it.

Qin Xiao knew that if he continued to stay in the White Tiger Camp, he would naturally get the respect of Yuwen Chengchao, but he was also likely to be involved in the power struggle of the Yuwen family because of this, he really didn't have much interest in these, and he also knew that Yuwen Chengchao might let himself do more things in the future.

Yuwen Chengchao and others already regarded him as their own, but Qin Xiao really didn't completely regard Yuwen Chengchao as his own in his heart.

Deep down, he only felt that it would be difficult for him to become true friends with the children of the gate valve in this life.

If it weren't for the fact that he felt that Yuwen Chengchao had a good character and treated himself with respect, Qin Xiao really didn't want to get too close to a gate valve like Yuwen Chengchao.

Qin Xiao has always been very righteous to his friends, but it is not easy to truly become his friend.

Maybe he has seen a lot of warmth and warmth in the market, and he also understands the complexity of human nature, although Qin Xiao usually treats people kind and polite, but he is not easy to get too close to people, sometimes he thinks about it himself, it may be that his temperament is born like this, but it is more likely that the environment in which he grows freely makes him always have an extremely strong sense of self-protection.

"Brother Wang, after returning to the city tonight, don't be in a hurry to return to the camp first." The fat fish rode a horse side by side with Qin Xiao, and seeing that Qin Xiao seemed to be thinking something, he said with a smile: "Let's go to Lanyuexuan to have a drink." ”

Qin Xiao came back to his senses, turned his head to look over, and said with a smile: "Big Brother Fat Fish has a reward to treat?" ”

"I won't invite it, but the eldest prince will invite it too." Fat Yu smiled: "If it weren't for you, our lives would be lost on the mountain, and after we go back, we will always have a few drinks to suppress the shock." ”

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "Big Brother Fat Fish Mo said this, if it weren't for the help of the eldest prince, I wouldn't be able to kill the encirclement, and I wouldn't have a chance to start at all." What he said was true, if it weren't for Yuwen Chengchao's efforts to help him fly out of the encirclement, Qin Xiao would not have had a chance to make a move against Ding Zixiu at all.

"This is the blessing of the eldest prince." Fat Fish sighed: "Brother Wang has saved the eldest prince several times, and everyone is actually very grateful. This time, the eldest prince was not only safe and sound, but also discovered the amazing secret in the mountain, which is also the Tianyou Yuwen family. ”

"Big Brother Fat Fish, is it really that serious?"

Fat Fish hesitated for a moment before he said softly, "It's more serious than you think." The person behind the scenes is extraordinary, he has already laid out in Yuwen County, and what we have found so far is only the tip of the iceberg. Is he coming for the Yuwen family, or is he coming for the entire Xiling? In Xiling, we don't know how many people are ready to move. After a deep groan, he said: "The most important thing is who is behind the scenes, this is crucial." ”

"Big Brother Fat Fish, who do you think it will be?"

The two of them rode in front, some distance from the convoy behind, and spoke softly, not afraid of being heard from behind.

"I can't guess, and I can't guess." Fat Yu smiled bitterly: "Brother Wang may not know that Xiling has been peaceful for more than ten years, but not everyone wants Xiling to maintain this situation all the time. He turned his head and glanced at Qin Xiao before continuing: "There are not a few forces that want to be turbulent in Xiling. ”

"Woods?"

"Of course it's possible." Fat Yu said: "Back then, General Hei Yu captured the King of the Veda Khan, and the King of the Veda Khan vowed not to set foot in Xiling again in his lifetime, and because of this, Xiling has been peaceful for many years. Although the Vedas were cruel, they valued their promises, and the Vedic Khan swore an oath, and the Vedas knew that if he broke his oath and sent troops without permission, the Vedas would be the first to disobey him. ”

"But I heard that the Khan King has died." Qin Xiao said: "The new Khan King doesn't seem to have any intention of keeping his promise. ”

Fat Fish said: "The old Khan king swore that he would not set foot in Xiling in his lifetime, and since he is dead, the new Khan will certainly not abide by the old Khan king's oath." I heard that this new Khan King is the brother of the old Khan King, both civil and military, ambitious, it is rumored that the old Khan King was killed by him, but it is really hard to say. As far as I know, the new Khan King Nalu Shengge has always been eyeing Xiling, and it is precisely because of the oath made by the old Khan that Nalu Shengge and many princes of the Udha Eight Divisions are dissatisfied, so the old Khan King attracted the disaster of death. ”

"So, the Vedic princes support Nalu Shengge's invasion of Xiling?"

"Brother Nalu Sheng's ascension to the throne of Khan, but not everyone supports it." Fat Fish said: "Although this person is both civil and military, but brutal by nature, he wants to fight Xiling, first to make all the eight Wutuo departments convinced, but also to build a meritorious career, so that the Wutuo people support." This person is very smart, he didn't attack Xiling easily, he knew very well in his heart that when the Wutuo cavalry entered the customs, the Tang Iron Cavalry would not turn a blind eye, they suffered the loss of General Hei Yu back then, and they still have lingering palpitations. Therefore, it is also the best choice to go west to clean up those small countries in the Western Regions and establish their authority. ”

"All his preparations are for one day to attack Xiling." Qin Xiao said: "So make arrangements in Xiling, and when the Wutuo people enter the customs, Xiling will take the opportunity to respond like Ding Zixiu." ”

Fat Fish said: "Although there is this possibility, the possibility is not too great. The goods coming in from outside the customs will be checked again and again, and there are three or four checkpoints along the way, and it is almost impossible to carry such a large number of weapons into the customs. Moreover, the technique of the Vedic people in refining knives is different from ours, and the weapons on the mountain are not from the hands of the Vedic people at first glance. Wei Yi pondered, and then said: "Even if there is really the shadow of the Vedic people behind them, they should only participate in it, maybe they will give out money, but they can't send weapons." ”

"If it's not a Vedas, who could it be?" Qin Xiao was thoughtful.

Fat Yu glanced back, and saw that the convoy was still far away, and there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wang, have you ever thought that it was the imperial court?" ”
