The white shopkeeper just smiled and didn't say anything.

Although Qin Xiao didn't miss a word of what the white shopkeeper said, of course he wouldn't really believe what the old fox said.

"By the way, does the shopkeeper know that something happened to the old marquis of Yuwen?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked.

The corners of the white shopkeeper's eyes twitched slightly, but he just sighed and did not speak.

His reaction naturally meant that he already knew that Old Marquis Yuwen had been ambushed.

Qin Xiao also admired the white shopkeeper for being so well-informed, and the general had just gotten the news that the old marquis had been ambushed today, and the white shopkeeper didn't seem to know too late for the general.

In fact, he still couldn't understand the current position of the white shopkeeper.

It stands to reason that he assisted the general in pulling down the Yuwen family, which is naturally a lot of credit, and he should be regarded as a general, but if he had known the news of the attack on the old Marquis of Yuwen, why didn't he tell the general as soon as possible? Or rather, he just wants to keep a low profile as much as possible at times like these.

"The whereabouts of the eldest prince are unknown." Qin Xiao said softly: "He may think that the old marquis was ambushed by someone sent by the general, if this is the case, the eldest prince will definitely regard the general as an enemy who killed his father, and he is likely to make a mistake that should not be made." ”

The white shopkeeper said: "He really can't make mistakes, if he really takes the general as his enemy, then it is likely that the Yuwen family will fall into a place of no return." ”

"Can the shopkeeper find him?" Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment before he said, "You have great powers, can you find the eldest prince to explain clearly?" ”

The white shopkeeper smiled faintly and said: "Everyone in the world can go and explain to him, but only I can't." He glanced at Qin Xiao and said: "I am a retainer of the Yuwen family, but I helped the court pull the Yuwen family off the horse, so the old marquis will enter Beijing to ask for guilt, if everything goes well, it will be fine, but the old marquis was assassinated on the way, and the eldest prince will naturally count this account on my side." He sighed lightly: "The eldest prince may think that the old marquis died at the hands of me and the general." ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself, and it was not unreasonable for the white shopkeeper to worry about this.

"The general has gone through countless ups and downs, and the general will always deal with these problems." The white shopkeeper said: "It's me, it's better not to talk too much at this time, and don't do more things, just hide here and fish." The Yuwen family hates me for being unfaithful, and other families may not have a good impression of me. I assisted the general to return Xiling to the hands of the imperial court, this matter can't be hidden, those wealthy families will think that I am a traitor inside and out, maybe there are many people who want to kill me now. ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that the general tried his best to return to Xiling, it was for the sake of the empire and the people of Xiling, although your white shopkeeper assisted the general and indeed made a contribution to the empire, but after all, he was a retainer of the Yuwen family, and he served the rice bowl of the Yuwen family, and won the trust of the old marquis of Yuwen, but in the end, he betrayed the Yuwen family, and it is natural to be regarded as a traitor who eats inside and out.

"It's late." The white shopkeeper was obviously not interested in continuing to talk about the affairs of the Yuwen family, put down the fishing rod, raised an arm and waved, and a domestic servant came over from the dim place, and the white shopkeeper said calmly: "Riding school, since you have followed the general, you will think that the country will be meritorious in the future, and if the Yuwen family and Tang Rong are concerned, you should not be involved too deeply, and it will not be of much benefit to you." ”

Qin Xiao wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

The white shopkeeper said that, Qin Xiao naturally didn't need to stay longer.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the last two sentences of the white shopkeeper were actually hoping that he would not have to ask him about Tang Rong in the future, even if he knew anything, he would obviously not reveal a word to Qin Xiao again.

What is Tang Rong's origin, it has really become a mystery, thinking that maybe there will really be no chance to see Tang Rong in the future, Qin Xiao is still a little gloomy in his heart, and took the sachet that Tang Rong left for him when he left, knowing that Tang Rong still has a trace of affection for himself, otherwise he would not have left this sachet for himself.

The White Tiger Battalion was transferred to Fan County, and the officers and men of the battalion soon got the news.

Although it was a little surprising, the White Tiger Battalion was now subordinate to the Imperial Protectorate, and it was an official imperial soldier and horse, and the general had orders, so he naturally acted in accordance with them.

Yuan Shangyu naturally knew that the White Tiger Battalion was going to Fan County this time to mix with Fan Cai, and he also knew in his heart that in the end, the three Xiling cavalry would have to be organized together, and the final station was likely to be in Fan County.

The general returned to Xiling to train his troops, and the ultimate goal was to build a defensive line in Xiling to deal with the possible eastward advance of the Vedas.

Fan County is located in the westernmost part of Xiling, and as soon as the war starts, that is, the front line, the general will naturally use Fan County as the first line of defense against the Vedas.

Although the landform of the whole Xiling is dominated by hills, compared with Zhen County in the east, the terrain of Fan County is more complex, and the cultivated land area of the plain of Zhen County can at least produce some grain, while the hills of Fan County are undulating, that is, the roads are also rugged and coiled, there are many mines, but there are few grain fields.

If Fanjun is to be used as the first line of defense against the Woods, the general is bound to make his soldiers and horses have a clear overview of the terrain of Fanjun, and as a cavalry that can be reused, the reorganized Xiling Three Cavalry must be trained in the hilly terrain of Fanjun.

The commander of the White Tiger Battalion knew very well that he might not come back in a short time when he went to Fan County this time, and even before the Wutuo people came over, the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion would not have the opportunity to go back to visit their families.

If it were in the past, he might have let the soldiers of the battalion rest for two days, and his family members who were nearby would let them go back to take a look, but now that the White Tiger Battalion is under the command of the general, Yuan Shangyu knows that the general's military rules are strict, so he naturally does not dare to give this order.

The general ordered Zhonglang to lead Su Changyu's troops westward, and the white shopkeeper followed him.

Qin Xiao knew that the white shopkeeper should have a good relationship with the Fan family, and Su Changyu was not good at dealing with people, so he asked the white shopkeeper to go to the center to take care of the communication with the Fan family.

Yuan Shangyu gave the whole battalion of the White Tiger Battalion two days to prepare, and on the day of departure, all the tents were dismantled and loaded, and all the weapons in the armory were loaded onto the car.

Suddenly, it was naturally impossible for Fan Jun to prepare a camp for the White Tiger Camp in advance, but Yuan Shangyu brought all his belongings with him just in case.

It's just that the white shopkeeper is still riding in a carriage, but beside him, there is no Tang Rong.

After the team started, Qin Xiao actually didn't know when he would be able to return here.

Thinking that when he first saw Yuwen Chengchao, everyone fought against the group of gentlemen in the restaurant, but now Yuwen Chengchao does not know his whereabouts, and it is even likely that he regards the general as an enemy, Qin Xiao's heart is quite gloomy.

Fat Fish and others have been staying in the army since the old marquis left Fengganfu City, and the news that the old marquis was ambushed,

Naturally, it will not be spread in the battalion, in fact, the general is very concerned about this, and secretly ordered that the news of the killing of the old marquis must not be mentioned in the battalion.

The White Tiger Battalion had just been incorporated into the Metropolitan Protector Army, and in fact it had not yet adapted to the horns of officers and soldiers.

Yuan Shangyu is certainly the confidant of the Yuwen family, Fat Yu and others are the henchmen of the eldest son Yuwen Chengchao, and the cavalry team in the camp is all Yuan Shangyu pulled it up, even Qin Xiao was able to enter the White Tiger Camp because of Yuwen Chengchao.

Therefore, the relationship between the White Tiger Camp and the Yuwen family is difficult to be cut off in a short period of time.

Qin Xiao even thought that if Yuan Shangyu was asked to choose between the general and the Yuwen family, Yuan Shangyu would most likely follow the order of the Yuwen Dynasty.

The general was obviously also worried about the influence of the Yuwen family on the White Tiger Battalion, so he asked the White Tiger Battalion to quickly go to Fan County to join the Fan cavalry, and when the two battalions were organized into one cavalry, the influence of the Yuwen family on this team would be quickly weakened.

The team did not have the slightest delay on the way, and after entering Fan County, Su Changyu ordered the two night crows who came with him to rush to Heiyang City in advance to inform the Fan family of the general's order.

The team walked for two more days, only half a day's way from Heiyang City, a team of cavalry suddenly appeared in front, not yet approaching, the first person had already turned over and dismounted, quickly greeted up, to Su Changyu in front of him, bowed down and saluted: "Dare to ask, but is it a Zhonglang general?" ”

Su Changyu wore a night crow mask, nodded slightly, and said in a calm voice: "I am Su Changyu." ”

"Liao Zhong, the deputy commander of the inferior Fan Cavalry, came to greet General Zhonglang." The man arched his hand and said, "On the orders of the commander, I came to lead the way for the Zhonglang general." He raised his hand and pointed to the southwest: "There are still forty miles of land in the Fan cavalry camp, and the commander and the whole battalion are waiting for the arrival of Zhonglang General." ”

Su Changyu didn't talk nonsense, just nodded, and Liao Zhong immediately returned to his horse, got on the horse and led the team towards the Fan Qi camp.

In the middle of the night, Qin Xiao saw from afar that there was a camp under a mountain in front of him, and knew that it should be the Fan Riding camp, looking to the west, under the setting sun, he also faintly saw the shadow of a city outline over there, and knew that it was Heiyang City, and the Fan Riding Camp was very close to Heiyang City.

"Zhonglang General, that's Xiao Mishan." Liao Zhong pointed to the mountain behind Fan Cai's camp and said, "The bottom of the mountain is where Fan Qi is stationed. The commander got the news that Zhonglang would lead the White Tiger Battalion to come, and he specially chose a camp here .....! He pointed to the large grass on the side and said: "If Zhonglang will have no objection, the White Tiger Battalion can be temporarily stationed here, and after the two battalions are reorganized, Zhonglang will choose a better camp, and everything will be in accordance with Zhonglang's orders." ”

Qin Xiao thought that Fan Qi got the news, so naturally the two night crows sent by Su Changyu in advance saw Fan Ziqi, and then informed the general's reorganized generals, and Fan Ziqi quickly informed Fan Qi, so that Fan Qi was ready to be co-opted.

Su Changyu saw that this grassland was very empty, and it was also a suitable place as a temporary camp for the White Tiger Camp, so he immediately ordered Yuan Shangyu to lead people to camp here.

"Qin Riding School, you go to Fan Qi with me." Su Changyu gave Qin Xiao an order, and he didn't talk nonsense, he took a selfie and walked towards the Fan Riding camp, Qin Xiao thought to himself, don't put down the ring in the Fan Riding camp this time, shook the reins of the horse, and followed behind.
