Xiahou Allure's clear eyes lit up even more, and he said excitedly: "I know, I know, the snow night captures the Khan, that is the Black Feather General." ”

The corners of the hat's lips also flashed a smile, and he said, "Not bad." The Xiling War has been fought for more than two months, and it is already the cold winter season, when Xia Duhu has been killed in battle, and the few remaining soldiers and horses led by General Hei Yu are trapped in Heiyang City, and fortunately, it is fortunate that there is that blizzard, otherwise tens of thousands of iron cavalry will besiege Heiyang City, and Heiyang City will not last long at all. ”

"That's God bless my Datang, not only General Black Feather, but also that heavy snow." Xiahou Chengcheng rejoiced: "If it weren't for General Hei Yu, Xiling would be in danger." ”

While the two were talking, they had already turned into an alley, and the hat man smiled and said, "Did the dragon scale captain tell you?" ”

Xiahou Chengcheng nodded and said: "Big brother said, at that time, Heiyang City was in danger, a heavy snow came, and it rained for several days, and the Wutuo people were mainly cavalry, plus heavy snow, they could not attack the city, so they could only besiege the city." Xia Duhu died in battle, and General Black Feather stepped forward and led the few remaining soldiers and horses to resist the enemy. Although it is a girl's family, but when it comes to the war of the year, Xiahou Allure is full of relish: "The Vedas could not attack the city, camped outside the city, General Black Feather observed the city for two days, determined the location of the King of the Veda Khan, that night, the city of Heiyang quietly opened the city gate, General Black Feather led his team of thirty people to the King of the Veda Khan tent, without waiting for the Veda people to react, the Black Feather Night Raven killed into the king's tent and captured the King of the Veda Khan. ”

The hat-to-hat man smiled, "What you said is exactly right. Yes, the earth-shattering move of General Hei Yu made the battle situation in Xiling reversed instantly, the King of Woody Khan was captured, the Vedic people did not dare to move, withdrew to Kunlun Pass, the imperial court sent people to negotiate peace, King Woody Khan promised that the Woody soldiers and horses would never step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty again in his lifetime, and redeemed his life with a huge number of cattle and sheep, the danger of Xiling, so it was solved, and General Black Feather was also famous for the snowy night bird Khan, and the world was shocked. ”

Xiahou Chengcheng said: "Uncle Wen, in this case, of course this Xiling is still my territory of the Tang Dynasty, why do you say that this is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Can Captain Long Scales tell you that less than two months after the Wutuo retreated, General Black Feather led his troops and horses to retreat into Jiayu Pass?" The hat-bearer asked.

Xiahou Chengcheng nodded and said, "The eldest brother also mentioned it, but he didn't say much. Uncle Wen, didn't General Hei Yu withdraw to the Guannai to recuperate? I have heard that when the 5,000 soldiers and horses who fought against the Vedas withdrew into the pass, there were less than 2,000 men left. ”

The hat man shook his head and said: "As I said before, when the Duhu army fought against the Wutuo people, Xiling Duhu sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and did not support the Duhu army at the beginning, so it once put the Duhu army in a predicament. The saint sent people, and the Xiling Gate Valve sent people to send food to support the front line. After a slight pause, he said: "When it was the Xiling Gate Lord, it was not really afraid of the imperial court, but the imperial court made a compromise with them. ”

"Compromise?"

"To prevent the Vedas from controlling Xiling, we must rely on the Xiling Gate Valve, and in that situation, the imperial court can only choose the lesser of two evils." The man said calmly: "Xiling is divided into three counties, and the heads of the three major lords have also been made marquises, and they are hereditary replacements, one marquis sits in one county, nominally the courtiers of the court, but in fact they all control one county. ”

Xiahou Chengcheng frowned and said: "But the Xiling Protectorate is still there, and there are still officials of the imperial court in Xiling." ”

"The taxes of each county are in the hands of the gate lords, and once there is a bandit or even a rebellion in Xiling, the three hereditary princes have the right to organize people to quell the rebellion." The hatsman glanced at Xiahou Chengcheng: "This is to put the financial power and military power in their own hands, the Western Regions Protectorate is no longer the original Protectorate, and most of the officials sent by the imperial court to Xiling are in name only." He shook his head and sighed lightly: "So this Xiling is from the Tang Dynasty, but it is not from the Tang Dynasty, do you understand it now?" ”

Xiahou Chengcheng frowned, and his expression was a little solemn: "Uncle Wen, that ..... The little brother just now was from the Governor's Mansion, and he ..... Is he a member of the imperial court? ”

The hat man bowed his head and said: "The imperial court's Duwei Mansion in Xiling is used to keep an eye on the eyes of the Xiling Gate Valve, at least the Guicheng Duwei Mansion, which is indeed a person from the imperial court." ”

Xiahou Chengcheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, revealing a light smile: "I know that he is a good person." ”

"Because he paid for your meal, he's a good guy?" The hat man said angrily: "You shout every day to walk the rivers and lakes, if there is no one to protect you, you will not be able to live a day on the rivers and lakes." The human heart is sinister, and a bad person will not let you know that he is a bad person until he really does evil. ”

Xiahou Chengcheng smiled: "I knew he was a good person. Then he asked: "Uncle Wen, the Wutuo people no longer dare to invade my Tang Dynasty, and the southern Xinjiang is seeking peace, and the Tusun people have not gone south in a big way over the years, why do the imperial courts no longer send troops to fight Xiling for so many years?" As long as my Tang army kills it, how can the Xiling Gate Valve resist it? ”

"Since the imperial court had an agreement with the Xiling Gate Valve back then, if it weren't for the big changes, it would naturally not go back on its word." The hatsman said lightly: "I am the country of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, Huaide is all over the world, the Xiling Gate Valve has not made a big mistake, and the imperial court will not do it easily." ”

Xiahou Chengcheng's eyes lit up, and he said: "I understand, the imperial court is waiting for the Xiling Gate Valve to make a mistake, and once it seizes the opportunity, it will send troops to take back Xiling." ”

"They also know in their hearts that the court is watching them." The hatsman said softly: "So for so many years, they have also been careful not to let the court find an excuse. He seemed to feel that he had said too much, and said with annoyance: "Delayed by your little guy, the boss is just afraid that he will be in a hurry, he is really damned, and he doesn't leave quickly." ”

The hatsman quickened his pace, but Xiahou Chengcheng still asked, "Uncle Wen, do you think the little brother of the Duwei Mansion will go to the noodle restaurant tomorrow?" ”

The hat-to-man stopped abruptly, came back to his senses, his eyes were sharp, staring at Xiahou Allure's beautiful face, and said word by word: "You went out privately today, the boss is already very angry, and he won't let you come out again." Even if you do come out again, you must never come into contact with these people again. ”

"Why?" Xiahou Chengcheng immediately said: "He is a good person and a member of the imperial court, why can't I contact him?" ”

"There's no why." The hat-to-hat man said coldly.

Xiahou Chengcheng bit his lip before he said, "But I still owe him silver, he said that he could repay him when we meet again." ”

"In this world, not all favors can be avenged, and not all revenge can be avenged." The hat-bearer said lightly: "Some things are in the past, and a small errand is not worth your waste, today's things, you forget as soon as possible." Seeing Xiahou Allure's unwilling appearance, he sighed: "Today's events, if you let your father know, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”

When Xiahou Allure heard this, a trace of awe immediately appeared between his eyebrows.

"Let's go." The hat-taker turned and left: "In two days, we will leave here, if you really want to pay back his money, I will send someone to do it for you." ”

Xiahou Allure's pretty face suddenly showed a look of distress, although she had already walked a few streets, she still glanced back, and seemed to still remember the righteous little brother in the Duwei Mansion, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed the hat man and never looked back.

The night was like ink, and there was already a dead silence in the wooden alley.

Xiahou Allure thought that the debt owed to Qin Xiao had not been repaid, but Qin Xiao did not think too much about Xiahou Allure.

Dou Liren and Xiahou Chengcheng are obviously not ordinary people, Qin Xiao was born in the market, although he has no hatred for the high-ranking officials and nobles, but he also has no admiration.

When the old man was alive, he instructed Qin Xiao that the most incomprehensible thing in this world is the human heart, and the thoughts of those high-ranking officials and nobles are not something that ordinary people can speculate, and if they can not contact them, try not to contact them, so as not to bring disaster to themselves.

The dead branches at the door are still there, and the person he was waiting for still hasn't appeared.

"The one hundred and ninety-eighth day." Qin Xiao read a sentence in his heart.

The old black dog was still curled up under the plum tree as always, and did not move.

When he brought back the abandoned and dying old black dog from the street, Qin Xiao felt that the yard was at least alive.

Whenever night falls, it is the time when Qin Xiao is alone, and it is also a time of loneliness.

Although he is used to a lonely and lonely life, it is not a bad thing to be able to add a touch of anger to his lonely life because of the old black dog.

Lonely people, deep down, always want to have a little comfort.

Back in the house, Qin Xiao put down the wine gourd and put it on the table, without even lighting the oil lamp, he walked to the side of the bed and lay down on his back, opened his arms, and relaxed his body.

It's his habit, and every day when he returns to his cabin, he relaxes, empties his mind, closes his eyes and relaxes for a moment.

The old man said that Bajiquan can strengthen the body, and this relaxation and relaxation can make one's blood and qi more smooth, although the time is not long, but it can nourish qi.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao sat up.

He sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while, frowned, and soon, he found out what the problem was.

The old black dog under the plum tree is very old, and is no longer as dexterous and energetic as it was when he was young.

But after spending some time with Qin Xiao, it has obviously accepted this new owner, and is used to the old black dog lying under the plum tree, whenever Qin Xiao returns to the courtyard, it will bark at its owner twice, in order to comfort the owner who has returned from hard work.

Perhaps it is already a habit of conditioning, never interrupted.

But today it was obviously wrong, when Qin Xiao entered the courtyard, he didn't hear the old black dog's barking, and he was still thinking about the Golden Hook Gambling House in his mind at that time, and he didn't care, but after he relaxed, he realized that something was wrong.

Why didn't the old black dog bark?

Qin Xiao became alert in an instant, but whenever something abnormal happened, he would be on guard and dare not take it lightly, because this was also what the old man had taught him, and he never forgot it.

From a very young age, the old man made him remember the so-called six wisdoms.

The six wise men are the wisdom that must be possessed in the six situations.

One of them is that once you find that the things and people around you are different from usual, even if it is only a slight change, you must be vigilant, because you are likely to be in danger.
