Duan Chong stayed in the valley for two days, and did not rush to find Duan Zhuang, and in these two days, Duan Chong learned about the situation in the south of the Jiangbei, after Xiao Beiping led the army north to the Yangtze River, Xiao He, Emperor Wu of Liang, did not make it too difficult for this nephew, after all, it is the time of life and death of the Great Liang, the enemy is on the south bank of the Yangtze River, if there is infighting, there is no need to think that the Great Liang will perish, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao He is a smart person, but Xiao Beiping sent people under the fence, how can there be a reason to live a good life, Not to mention the white eyes and cold eyebrows of the officials of the Northern Liang, even the daily sighs and sighs of the officials of the Southern Liang who crossed the Yangtze River north with Xiao Beiping were enough to give Xiao Beiping a headache.

Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao He placed Xiao Beiping in Kaifeng Mansion on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and by the way, also placed the army of the Southern Liang here, if this Zhuang led the army to attack, the army of Xiao Beiping and the Southern Liang was the first cannon fodder, at the same time, for the command of the nearly 100,000 troops of the Southern Liang, Emperor Wu of Liang also carried out extremely strict control, and constantly sent the overseers to supervise, and also asked for half of the military talismans of Xiao Beiping and Yang Lijie's capital, and completely controlled the military power in their own hands, so to speak, Xiao Beiping's life in Beiliang was very uncomfortable, but as the king of the dead country, he couldn't ask for any kind of life.

For the situation of the Northern Liang, Duan Chong felt helpless, this Xiao Beiping fell to the point, but Duan Chong also felt helpless, how could he be born in Dali, and Xiao Beiping was the emperor of the Southern Liang? Duan Chong naturally can't help Xiao Beiping recover Southern Liang, but he has the ability to make Xiao He, Emperor Wu of Liang, also become the king of the fallen country, and sit on an equal footing with our Xiao Beiping, Duan Chong sighed, this idea is really too evil.

And the Xiongnu and Xiao Li in the north are surprisingly quiet, the Xiongnu army is just looting on the border of Beiliang, and there is no big move, and Xiao Li's troops are as if they have disappeared, and no news has come out at all, this is not in line with common sense, this Xiao Li now has the second prince of Xiao Beiding and Dong Zhongshu Dong University in his hands, but half a year has passed but he has done nothing, what is the situation, is it deterred by the weapons displayed by Duan Chong when he attacked Southern Liang, Knowing that he is looking for trouble with Beiliang at this time, after the destruction of Beiliang, it is to find trouble for himself, and he deeply understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, if this is the case, this Dali's army has become a public enemy of the whole world in a blink of an eye, Duan Zhong sighed, it seems that only in this way can it be explained, and if this is really the case, all the forces will unite to deal with Dali first, it is really a bit of a headache.

After learning so much news, Duan Chong finally decided to go to Nanjing City to find his brother, Duan Zhuang, this Zhuang's wedding date for Princess Izumo of Liang is set for the sixth day of the seventh month, only half a month away, and the invitation to Duan Zhuang's wedding has already been sent to the valley, Duan Chong's family has already received the invitation, and Duan Chong is the only one missing, so this time, Duan Chong decided to go to the door to ask for this invitation of his own, and instructed Su'er, Zongzi and others to go to Nanjing on their own when the day comes, Duan Zhong went directly out of the valley and ran towards the city of Nanjing.

It took less than half a day, Duan Chong felt Nanjing, the city was red, the lights were colorful, but the atmosphere was a little sluggish, this half a year, in order to ensure the security of Nanjing City, has been martial law, the control of the people is extremely said, until the marriage of the prince of Zhuang Da is decided, the control is gradually relaxed, the merchants in the city are gradually opened, that is, Duan Chong's "Louwailou" and "Heaven and Earth", which have only recently reopened, after all, there are no guests to open this store, It's better to just close down.

Duan Chong entered Nanjing City, but he didn't go around, and ran directly towards the palace, and Duan Chong became a grandmaster-level master, Duan Chong didn't want too many people to know, even if it was his brother, so he went straight to the palace gate, but he informed the palace guards of his identity, and entered the palace according to the rules, at first the guard refused to believe Duan Chong's identity, but Duan Chong immediately took the guard's collar and drank a few times, and obediently went to report the news, and after a while, a senior general came out, Duan Chong saw at a glance that this was Duan Zhuang's personal guard, and this guard came out, naturally to confirm Duan Chong's identity, when he saw Duan Chong, he hurriedly greeted him, and respectfully invited Duan Chong into the palace, and Duan Chong was also unceremoniously, all the way into the palace with great ostentatiousness...... It's here.

And Duan Zhuang had already learned the news, and came to greet him halfway, his expression was still very cold when he saw Duan Chong, but there was some light flashing in his eyes, Duan Chong knew that this was excited, Duan Zhuang looked at Duan Chong, but he patted his shoulder and said: "It's so troublesome to enter the palace to see me, just come in directly, and no one can stop you!" ”

Duan Zhong shook his head with a smile, but he didn't explain much, and directly bowed: "I heard that my brother is getting married, but I came here to please me!" ”

When Duan Zhuang heard this, he showed an extremely rare faint smile, and directly pulled Duan Chong towards the palace, the palace of Nanliang was originally very familiar with Duan Chong, but this time he walked in the palace of Nanliang, and it seemed unscrupulous, or this palace can no longer be called the palace of Nanliang, but the palace of Dali, Duan Zhuang led Duan Chong directly to the original imperial study, it was in this palace that Duan Chong had many times with the first emperor of Nanliang, Xiao Huan, who had been sick and weak, this time, but he talked to his brother.

After all the internal supervisors in the imperial study were taken away, only Duan Chong and Duan Zhuang were left in the entire hall, and Duan Zhuang did not put up any shelves at the moment, he sat down directly on the steps of this hall, looked at Duan Chong and said: "In the past half a year, you have returned to Dali!" ”

Duan nodded his head: "There are some problems in the cultivation exercises, so go back to Dali to cultivate!" Duan Zhuang didn't know about his cultivation, and in Duan Zhuang's eyes, Duan Chong's cultivation at the moment should still be at the stage of a martial arts cultivation, and Duan Chong didn't want Duan Zhuang to know about this.

Duan Zhuang looked at Duan Chong: "It's okay now, if there is anything you don't understand in your cultivation, you can also communicate with me!" ”

Duan Zhong smiled and nodded, accepting his brother's kindness, and said: "My brother has made a lot of achievements over the years, Dali has expanded its territory and achieved great achievements through the ages, and it has completed most of it in just two years!" ”

Duan Zhuang said lightly: "Why are you talking to me about this?" You also know what kind of food I relied on to achieve such a result, these things, we tacitly know, why say it! ”

Duan nodded heavily. Although this kind of thing is tacit, but this Zhuang took away the production method of cannons and gunpowder from his own hands, which made Duan Chong extremely unhappy, so he still said it with some resentment, and for this matter, it is extremely natural in Duan Zhuang's view, after all, this Zhong is a person from Dali, and he is also the prince of Dali, with such a technology, it is natural to contribute, so Duan Chong does not do much in this regard, and directly changes the topic: "Brother is on the occasion of creating a great cause." , why did you suddenly talk about marriage and get married! ”

Duan Zhuang's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were a little chaotic, which suddenly made Duan Chong a little incomprehensible, but he heard Duan Zhuang say: "This matter was vigorously promoted by my father, and I don't want to disobey it, so I will follow my father's wishes, but I will definitely not put it on hold in this northern expedition, and I will lead the army to the north after the wedding!" ”

Duan Zhong was stunned: "This Northern Liang sent Princess Izumo over, the purpose is to negotiate peace with us, brother, if you do this, wouldn't it be a shame for the world!" ”

Duan Zhuang shook his head: "This hegemony of the world is originally to be unscrupulous, as long as this family business is completed, it will naturally be able to paralyze Beiliang, and when the time comes, we will take the opportunity to counterattack, and naturally we can be surprised!" ”

Duan Chong took a breath of cool air when he heard this, he didn't expect that Duan Zhuang's methods would be so ruthless, if it was really according to Duan Zhuang's words, the princess of this Daliang would really give Daliang a funeral gift, thinking of Princess Izumo, Duan Chong's heart couldn't help but feel a pang, this carefree little girl is now a complete victim of politics, it is really a little ...... It's a pity.

Just when Duan Zhong bowed his head and was silent, the inner supervisor outside the door knocked on the door and came in to report: "Your Highness, Princess Izumo is here!" ”

Duan Zhong and Duan Zhuang were stunned at the same time, and Duan Chong naturally knew that this Izumo princess was an old acquaintance with himself, and his movement into the palace this time was not small, presumably this Izumo princess came in a hurry after learning the news of herself, and looked at Duan Zhuang, at this moment her face was actually a man with a gentle look: "Let her come in!" Duan Zhong was taken aback when he saw this, looking at this look, could it be that this Zhuang really fell in love with this Izumo princess.

Princess Izumo walked into this imperial study, which was originally the room where Princess Izumo Xiao Harmonic was, but now it is occupied by Duan Zhuang, which is a bit ironic, and this Izumo princess has not seen her for several years, and she has already become beautiful and beautiful, even the childishness of the early years has long been gone, and after experiencing some things, it has added some vicissitudes and maturity, which is more attractive.

As soon as Princess Izumo entered the room, her eyes fell on Duan Chong's body and no longer looked away, full of resentment, while Duan Chong's face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to look at Princess Izumo, and hurriedly looked at Duan Zhuang on the side, but he happened to see Duan Zhuang looking at Princess Izumo with tenderness in his eyes.

Duan Chong is a veteran of the love field, how is he not familiar with this kind of look, at this moment Duan Chong is already sure that Duan Zhuang is already obsessed with Princess Izumo, otherwise according to Duan Zhuang's temperament, even if the sky falls, he will not follow the will of Emperor Zhengkang, Duan Chong touched his nose, and suddenly felt interesting, and the iron pimple also bloomed.
