Qin Xiao didn't know why the general chose him to be his adopted son, but he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since he can remember, he didn't know who his parents were, although Old Man Zhong took care of him very thoughtfully, but he never enjoyed father's love and mother's love.

Although the general did not accept his son to give his father's love, he had a father at least in name.

If it was someone else who wanted to accept Qin Xiao as a righteous son, Qin Xiao would have been beaten by a big ear long ago, but General Hei Yu was different, this is a character that Qin Xiao respects from the bottom of his heart, and he can accept himself as a righteous son, he really can't ask for it.

Qin Xiao actually guessed in his heart that the general took a fancy to himself, and it should have a great relationship with Han Yunong and Meng Zimo.

The general's plan to collect the son, Su Changyu obviously didn't know anything in advance, he was full of surprise for a while, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, Qin Xiao observed his words, and without waiting for Su Changyu to speak, he turned around suddenly, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said respectfully: "Qin Xiao greets his father-in-law!" ”

The last time Su Changyu went to the White Tiger Camp, he wanted to suppress the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp, and then transfer them to Woye Town, but his wishful thinking was destroyed by Qin Xiao and he left disappointed.

Of course, the general could not accept a righteous son at will, before that, he must have a very deep understanding of himself, and everything was naturally known from Han Yunong and Mencius.

As the general said, what he believed was Han Yunong's vision.

The general smiled: "Get up, we are soldiers, do things neatly, and don't need those vain ceremonies." I have received this worship from you, and you will be my third son. He added: "From now on, Changyu is your brother, and I have seen your brother." ”

Qin Xiao turned to Su Changyu and arched his hand: "Qin Xiao has seen the second brother!" ”

Although Meng Zimo said that Su Changyu was broad-minded and did not care, Qin Xiao always felt that Su Changyu might not be able to give up, and when he saw that he was about to speak, he was afraid that he would prevent the general from receiving his son, and rush to the ground before he spoke.

Su Changyu glanced at Qin Xiao and rolled his eyes.

Qin Xiao knew that the general could train a brave and warlike immortal army, naturally the military rules were strict, and it was absolutely impossible to allow someone to use his name to fake the tiger's power outside.

"You remember, although we were accepted as righteous sons by the general, we still have to call the general, not our father." Su Changyu is very experienced: "It's best not to be known about this matter by others." ”

Su Changyu said "um", noncommittal.

"Get up and speak." The general instructed, and waited for Qin Xiao to get up before he said: "Although you are my righteous son, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and you must not act outside under my banner, otherwise you will be killed immediately." ”

The general stood up and said, "What's the matter?" ”

His question naturally had nothing to do with what Su Changyu said.

Qin Xiao said: "Thank you second brother for your advice." ”

"It's better not to call me second brother." Su Changyu still leaned his neck slightly.

Above.

The general didn't let Qin Xiao follow, nor did he let Qin Xiao leave, Qin Xiao hesitated, knowing that the eldest brother Su Changyu said could only be Han Yunong, Han Yunong sent someone to send a letter, and said that he was very anxious, and there was naturally something going on in Guicheng, he wanted to know what was going on, thought about it, or follow up in the house.

"There's a letter from Turtle City." Su Changyu took out a letter and presented it to the general: "It was the eldest brother who sent a fast horse to send it, and the eldest brother ordered the messenger to say that the letter was delivered, and the general should be asked to look at it immediately, and it was urgent." ”

The general stretched out his hand to take the letter, it was late at this time, he walked straight to the house, Su Changyu was very sensible, quickened his pace and went into the house, and went over to light the oil lamp

Qin Xiao knew that the general was a person who had gone through strong winds and waves, and the big things in the eyes of others were probably not fart in the eyes of the general, which could make the general's face become so dignified, it seemed that the matter was really not small.

"General, what's wrong?" Su Changyu saw the general frowning and asked softly.

Su Changyu frowned slightly when he saw Qin Xiao follow him into the house, glanced at the general who had already sat down and opened the letterhead, and didn't say anything after all.

The general glanced at the letterhead in the lamplight, and his face became solemn.

The general bowed slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Chang Yihou was ambushed and assassinated on the way to Beijing. ”

Qin Xiao and Su Changyu both changed color impressively.

The general raised his head, did not answer immediately, thoughtfully, and pondered for a moment before asking, "What is the current situation of the Changyi Houfu?" ”

"These days, the Changyi Houfu is already preparing to enter the customs." Su Changyu said: "Before Changyi Hou left, he proposed to the Metropolitan Protectorate and asked the Metropolitan Protectorate to send officials from Hu Cao to follow the Yuwen family to count the accounts. Chang Yihou means that in addition to the necessary relocation funds, the property of the Yuwen family will be donated to the imperial court, and the capital will first count and collect it. Lord Du Hu sent a few officials, and now they are following the Yuwen family to count the industry, it is still only in the city, the Yuwen family's industry is too big, in addition to the industry in the city, there are many private fields, in addition, the mines and horse farms need to be counted and received, and it will be completed at the end of December at the earliest. ”

Su Changyu frowned and said, "The wolf rider is really bold, he dares to ambush the imperial marquis." After a pause, he said: "Did the wolf rider know that the Zhen family father and son were killed by the Yuwen family, so he set up an ambush on the road to Beijing to avenge the Zhen family father and son?" ”

Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart, hearing that the old Marquis of Yuwen was dead, he was worried about Yuwen Chengchao, and asked, "General, what ..... What is the situation of Yuwen Chengchao? ”

"General, Chang Yihou was assassinated?" Su Changyu asked anxiously, "Then how is he doing now?" ”

"The head has been taken." The general said: "Someone found the scene of the attack and immediately reported it to the official, after Yunong knew about it, he personally sent someone to the scene of the crime, and it has been determined that in addition to the entourage of Chang Yihou and his headless corpse, the corpse of the wolf rider was found nearby. Although his eyes were cold, his expression was very calm: "Judging from the scene, it was the wolf rider who ambushed Chang Yihou." ”

Su Changyu said very unexpectedly: "Qin Xiao is right, Yuwen Chengchao was ambushed, if he is still alive, he will only quickly return to Fenggan Mansion to find the general to call the shots." But he did not show up and did not return to Changyi Houfu. At this time, he realized why the general asked about the situation of the Yuwen family.

"Because Yuwen Chengchao thought that I sent someone to instruct the wolf to ride in the middle of the road to ambush." The general sighed

"There is no body of Yuwen Chengchao at the scene." The general said: "If nothing else, Yuwen Chengchao should have escaped the ambush, but no one knows his current whereabouts." ”

"If Yuwen Chengchao escapes death, he should immediately return to Fenggan Mansion and explain this matter to the general." Qin Xiao frowned: "Now that Han Duwei's letter has been delivered, the eldest prince has not returned, what happened in the middle?" ”

"Yunong found the buried corpse of the wolf rider, and investigated the wolf rider with Du Junshou, and found that the wolf rider commander Tang Wuxian was missing." The general said: "In addition, the wolf riders who participated in the ambush were also found, after these people participated in the ambush under the leadership of Tang Wuxian, they were separated from Tang Wuxian and Tang Wuxian, and they returned to the camp, while Tang Wuxian took Yuwen Chengchao to another way, but Tang Wuxian's whereabouts along the way have also been found, and almost all of them have been shot, but there are no corpses of Tang Wuxian and Yuwen Chengchao left." ”

Qin Xiaowan didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen.

tone, handed the letter in his hand to Su Changyu, "It is said that Yuwen Chengchao is the most intelligent one among the disciples of the Xiling family, but ..... This does not seem to be the case. ”

Qin Xiao was even more surprised, Su Changyu took the letterhead with both hands and looked at it carefully under the lamp.

Su Changyu quickly read the letter, his expression was cold, and he said: "These days, the night crow has not left the mansion for half a step, Tang Wuxian is framing. ”

"But the people of Turtle City have seen the complaint, and many may have believed it." The general said calmly: "It seems that the situation in Xiling is more complicated than I thought. Touching his beard, he said, "Where we can't see, someone is planning ulterior plans. ”

"Tang Wuji's family members in Turtle City suddenly disappeared, and their whereabouts are unknown." The general said: "I don't know whether Tang Wuxian is alive or dead for the time being, but in many places in Turtle City, suddenly many complaints were posted on the streets and alleys, and Du Hongsheng also received the complaints. ”

"According to the complaint, Tang Wuxian was instructed by the Black Feather Night Crow to lead the wolf to ambush Chang Yihou in the middle of the road." The general said: "The night crow did this to avenge the blood feud that the Xiling family stayed out of the matter sixteen years ago, but the night crow was inconvenient to take action by himself, so he used the wolf rider to borrow a knife to kill people, and he had to kill people afterwards." His tone was calm and calm: "The complaint was written in Tang Wuxian's tone, and even said that if the imperial court really wants to thoroughly investigate the case, he is willing to come out to testify." ”

Qin Xiao said: "General, if you know the whereabouts of the eldest prince, I can prove to him that someone pretended to be a night crow and deliberately provoked the Xiling people to misunderstand the Black Feather Night Crow." ”

"Yuwen Chengchao has also become a pawn." The general thought thoughtfully: "Maybe all the Xiling families will also become chess pieces." ”

Su Changyu said: "Tang Wuxian almost wiped out the whole army along the way, but he just leaked Tang Wuxian and let him escape from death, of course, this is deliberately to let him live, and through his mouth, the spearhead of Chang Yihou's murder is pointed at us." ”

"Chang Yihou was killed, I can understand Yuwen Chengchao's current mood." The general sighed: "I only hope that he will not be blinded by anger, fall deeper and deeper, and finally make an irreparable mistake." After thinking about it, he said, "You two prepare and leave for Fan County as soon as possible." ”

"Fan Jun?" Su Changyu was stunned.

The general said solemnly: "Someone wants to use this matter to shake the heart of the Xiling family, who is planning behind it, we can't find out for a while, since he dares to do this, he is ready, it is impossible for us to find out in a short time." The general, who was still watering the courtyard before, was like an ordinary old man's eyes shining at this time, and his whole body was changing unconsciously, like a tiger waking up from sleep: "The three cavalry of Xiling will be reorganized immediately, at least no one else will have the opportunity to mobilize them, you take the White Tiger Battalion and go to Fan County to form a battalion with Fan Cai." ”
