Zhang Xiaowu and his entourage left the Two Wolves City two days later, and this trip not only saved the daughters of Zugong Mao, but also befriended Murong Thirteen. Although Murong Thirteen's power was very small and limited to the Pingxiu Workshop, through a few days of contact, Zhang Xiaowu found that this boy and girl were yin and yin people, and he was ambitious in his heart, and he knew more about Murong Thirteen's biggest enemy, his own brother Murong Zhan.

Mrs. Murong gave birth to four sons, in the clan, they were the eldest Lang Murong Zhan, the second Lang Murong Chi, the ninth Lang Murong Lie, and the thirteenth Lang Murong Yin, these four people were the sons-in-law of Murong Bo, the Marquis of Yingchuan, and the rest of the concubines could not inherit the family business and separated early. Murong Zhan was trained by Murong Bo since he was a child, joined the army at the age of fifteen, and stayed in the army to serve his father, and was most likely to inherit the family business.

In order to win the support of the military, the thirteenth prince Murong Yin treated Zhang Xiaowu more favorably, and the twelve golden hairpins took turns to perform, and Zhang Xiaowu experienced the treatment of the stars holding the moon. For the thirteenth prince to woo himself so much, Zhang Xiaowu accepted them one by one - as long as he no longer proposed to resist and sleep and talk in detail late at night.

Sister Dongxiang said privately that if the thirteenth prince can inherit the throne, they will be slightly better off in the future, but if people with military backgrounds such as the eldest prince Murong Zhan inherit the throne, I am afraid that they will end up extremely miserable. Murong Zhan would only treat them as cattle and horses. Zhang Xiaowu was disdainful in his heart, judging from Lou San's actions and the kidnapping of Hui'er and Xing'er, the thirteenth prince was not a good person, let alone a ladyboy.

Zu Gongmao drove the horse, and the horses also felt his happiness, neighing and stamping their hooves, he settled his wife and daughter in the city of two wolves, and returned to work in the Huanyi Workshop. However, because of the relationship between the Murong family, the Wu family also became a small housekeeper and female official, so she didn't have to suffer. And Song Cong, the steward of the Huanyi Fang, no longer dared to harass him, and even smiled cautiously, lest he be punished by the Death Camp and the Murong family.

Grandfather Mao'an hummed a small tune in Saibei, which made Xiao Xingxing annoyed and shouted: "It's great to have a family? Is it great to have a home? Look at what you can bear, and when I marry ten or eight wives and concubines, I won't be angry with you. ”

Zu Gongmao said proudly: "I'm not angry. ”

Xiao Kai said: "Why aren't you angry? ”

Zu Gongmao laughed deliberately: "Because you don't have a home, do you say you're angry?" ”

Xiao Kai turned his head away, no longer paying attention to this person, and thought of his "hammer sister" Xingzhi in his heart.

Zhang Xiaowu was silent, but what he was thinking about was the current Saibei. He always had a sense of danger, especially for the chaos of the Blue Dragon Army, as if the empire was too indulgent. Not to mention whether the crown prince is capable of commanding an army, just the fact that the 27th regiment was buried was enough to make it difficult for the crown prince to apologize. And in the camp of Yashan, the third regiment was lost due to the sneak attack of the Inuyi, and there was still no expression within the empire for such a huge loss.

It's never that simple, and before the storm, it's calm.

The two talked and laughed for a while and saw that Zhang Xiaowu was silent, so they inquired, and Zhang Xiaowu said, "Don't you think it's surprising? ”

"What accident?"

"The White Tiger Army, why is it stagnant and stationed here?"

Zu Gongmao said: "What do you want to say, my lord?" ”

Xiao Kai analyzed: "Xia Guan thinks that the reason why the White Tiger Army did not rush to the Yashan camp was because the 10,000 acres of fertile land in Jincheng were not enough to support more than 300,000 horses, so the White Tiger Army temporarily stayed outside the Two Wolves Pass for the convenience of supplies. ”

Zhang Xiaowu squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "No, no, I always feel that the White Tiger Army is not out of the customs to guard against Inui, but to guard against another person." ”

"Another person?"

"Qinglong Army, Crown Prince Xuanyuan Zixun." Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were shining, and his expression was cold.

The two were taken aback: "Don't talk nonsense, my lord, Ye Dashuai will never do it, he is the pillar of the country, how can he attack the prince." ”

"How can you? Hehe! The most ruthless emperor's family! Zhang Xiaowu sneered and stopped talking.

It takes two days to walk back to Mucheng from the two wolf passes, and it only takes one day to get a fast horse, Zhang Xiaowu spared the war horse, so he let everyone walk slowly, and they were stationed overnight during the period, so everyone was not in a hurry to hurry.

The sun was too strong at noon, and the sun made everyone's backs hurt, and everyone had to take off their armor and wear only single clothes. A light rain two days ago did not reduce the temperature of Saibei during the day, but it was like nectar to the plants on the ground, and as far as the eye could see, it was already green and yellow, and the wasteland had almost turned into a grassland.

Zhang Xiaowu saw a low forest from a distance, so he led his soldiers and horses into the low forest to avoid the sun.

This is the case with the climate in the northern part of the country, especially in autumn, when the midday sun burns people to death and the nights begin to get colder. There are not many plants and trees in the stop, sometimes it is yellow and bald, sometimes there are some grass and low trees, the terrain is undulating and uneven, Zhang Xiaowu let out a few scouts, and the rest of the people feed the horses and take a rest.

More than 300 war horses were scattered on the grass and gnawed on the grass, and the soldiers treated the war horses better than their own daughters-in-law, in the words of Guan Cheng, this guy was their new ancestor.

Since Wenwen returned the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Zhang Xiaowu chose a new batch of mounts, the new mount is called Black Tiger, tall and strong, strong and powerful, Black Wind's body and muscles are suitable for charging, but not suitable for long-distance running. Previously, Heifeng didn't recognize the new master, and was trained by Zhang Xiaowu several times and finally obeyed honestly. However, Zhang Xiaowu once suspected that it was because he gave it a name that made it dissatisfied, after all, it was a horse, not a tiger......

The black tiger is a head taller than other war horses, and Zhang Xiaowu is condescending during the horse battle and is easy to kill opponents, so Zhang Xiaowu appears taller than others when he sits on the horse. He now has the heart to try his horse fighting skills with Li Cunyuan again, although he won with treachery last time, he is really not a martial artist, and now he is more and more skilled in cooperating with the black tiger, but he wants to teach Li Cunyuan's true ability.

Didn't you say that Li Cunyuan was the first person in the horse battle of the Sixth Regiment? He wanted to know how powerful the first person in the horse war was. The first person in the horse battle of the dead battalion was not Zhang Xiaowu, nor Shen Lindong, but a black-faced man named Bai Hao under Shen Lindong, but this person was a Yan man, and he didn't speak well in Chinese, and he only recognized Shen Lindong alone.

Xiao Kai sat next to Zhang Xiaowu, took a sip of water and asked, "My lord, I don't know what you said before, did you say that the emperor expelled the crown prince?" But the crown prince is the only prince in charge of the army, how can the emperor guard against him? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Just because he is the only prince in charge of the army, the emperor has to guard against him, if he supports the army and kills back to Longdu to force the emperor to abdicate, what do you say the emperor can do?" In what I said, there are two purposes for the White Tiger Army to be closed by Chen Bing and the two wolves, one is to endorse the prince - that is, to support the prince to fight in the north, and the other purpose is to wait for the end of the war, the emperor will relieve the prince of his military power, and if the prince does not want to give up the right to send troops, he is afraid that the knife of the White Tiger Army will not know where to kill. ”

"Are these still the two of you?" Xiao Kai smiled bitterly, "But it makes sense, after all, the royal family has no family affection, and the old people in our hometown say so." ”

While the two were talking, Chen Guanxi rode back with the scouts and reported: "One hundred and ten people were found in front of the official road, but they did not clear the customs and were not merchants, they were all ordinary people who had lived in Mucheng for a long time. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "If they don't enter the customs document, how can they enter the Two Wolves Pass?" ”

Chen Guanxi said: "My subordinates don't know, but the people say ......" He hesitated and said in a low voice: "It was said that the camp of Yashan was broken, and that the Inuyi was about to be killed, so they had to flee back to the Central Plains." ”

Zhang Xiaowu and Xiao Kai were dumbfounded: "The camp of Yashan was broken? Zhang Xiaowu immediately said again: "It's nonsense, you let the people who can talk come over." ”

"Whoa."
