As night approached, dozens of knights escorted several carriages were speeding up the official road, and the official at the head seemed to have a great deal of concern in his heart, and in the hazy twilight, he could still see his delicate face frowning, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

The leader's mind also infected the entourage, and all of them did not say a word, but hurried away with their heads bored. For a moment, the long line was filled with the sound of rolling wheels and staggered hooves.

Suddenly, one of the last knights in the group was shocked, stopped his horse with the reins, and looked behind him.

Soon, everyone heard the rumbling sound of iron hooves behind them, like a muffled thunderstorm, the sound was amazing, and at least a thousand cavalry galloped from the rear.

The knights changed color together, and were about to form a formation, when they heard the official shout, "What are you panicking about? It's your own people! Everyone leaned to the side of the road, lit torches and walked slowly! ”

The knights breathed a sigh of relief, and the fire lit up, reflecting the official's face, and there was a faint hint of joy.

The sound of furious hooves behind him suddenly fell, and it was obvious that the centaur had seen the light of the fire in front of them, and then slowed down the horse.

After a while, a flash of fire caught up, and someone shouted: "Dare to ask if it's Lord Jingzhao Yin Liu in front?" ”

The official was in good spirits, and Zhu Ma laughed and said: "It is this official, Nanying is so fast!" ”

In the firelight, the figure of Nanying riding a horse appeared, and the fire behind him was like a starry sky, full of subordinate cavalry.

"Lord Liu made fun of it, if the general can't even catch up with you, will he dare to lead his troops to fight?" Nan Ying's helpless expression was faintly dissatisfied: "But Ben Jiang is really curious, what happened in Chang'an?" It was able to make Lord Liu work tirelessly overnight! Ben was so busy that he barely caught up with your convoy! ”

"General Nan, although the relationship between you and me is shallow, this official has already heard of your reputation!" That Lord Liu is the new Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao, and he smiled: "I believe that at this time, you must have displeasure in your heart, and at the same time, there are a lot of incomprehensions!" ”

"So be it!" Liu Tao looked at the night, and then looked at the endless firelight arranged neatly behind Nan Ying, revealing a look of approval: "First ask the general to arrange for your subordinates to march slowly, how about you and I talk alone?" ”

Several generals nodded slightly when they saw Nan Ying, and without waiting for him to give orders, they began to command their subordinates to re-line the line, and a series of orders were conveyed in an orderly manner.

Soon, a cavalry column overtook the brigade and reached forward as a vanguard. The two teams of men and horses were lined up left and right, sandwiching Liu Tao's small team in the middle, protecting the water from splashing, and the last team of cavalry stopped their horses, let them go to the side of the road, and quietly watched the large group of people and horses and mermaids pass through the official road, obviously preparing for the palace.

"What a tiger army!" Liu Tao was a little dumbfounded, he sighed and said: "I heard a lot of generals' achievements, and I was still guessing whether there was any exaggeration, but when I saw it today, I knew that there was no vain under the fame!" ”

Although Nanying didn't like to listen to flattery, he could also hear that Liu Tao was indeed sincerely praising him, and he couldn't help but feel a little good in his heart, and smiled: "Lord Liu praised it falsely!" It all depends on the soldiers' lives, and the general has only been lucky enough to win a few battles, which is not worth mentioning! ”

"The general has been in the position of a Zhonglang general at a young age, and he has been added by His Majesty to the capital official, which is even more rare!" Liu Tao said with emotion: "The general's holy family is long, and the future is limitless!" ”

Although Nan Ying was anxious to know the purpose of this trip, he couldn't help but arouse his curiosity: "Lord Liu, I was just going to ask you, what kind of official is this subordinate officer of the school commander?" Why was it that day when you heard it, you were amazed? ”

"What? Didn't the general even know? Liu Tao really showed a look of surprise, looked Nan Ying up and down, and said, "Isn't the general ridiculing the official?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Ben will just be a soldier, where do you understand this?" Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "I really want advice, please let me know what to do!" ”

In the night, Liu Tao looked at Nan Ying with bright eyes, as if he was observing his true intentions, and finally smiled dumbly: "This official now believes that there are some rumors about the general!" Okay, then the officer will tell the general in detail! ”

"Does the general know the importance of Captain Sili?" Liu Tao saw Nanying shaking his head blankly, and continued: "The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, their supervision officials are all called Assassin History, and the independent division is called the school captain, not only with the imperial history Zhongcheng and Shang Shuling Dynasty meeting are all special seats, called the 'three solo seats', and lead an exclusive army composed of 1,200 Zhongdu officials and apprentices, but also supervise the hundred officials of the Beijing Division and the officials of the seven counties, and control their power of life and death, which can be called powerful. ”

"So what?" Nan Ying was puzzled: "This general is just leading his subordinates to do everything, no matter how powerful the captain is, what does it have to do with this general?" ”

"It seems that the general is really unaware of the truth in the meantime!" Liu Tao said with a complicated expression: "Although there are many subordinates under the commander of the school, such as the capital official, the other driver, the gong cao, the book cao, and the military cao, they are all officials recruited by the state government itself, and they have never been appointed by the court itself!" ”

"Oh! Then Your Majesty can be regarded as breaking an exception! Nanying was stunned.

"No, the general is thinking too simply!" Liu Tao smiled bitterly: "After the unfortunate death of Zhang Zhong, the former captain of Sili, the court was busy with the Yellow Turban, and no new captain of Sili has been appointed so far, and of course there are no subordinates!" Does the general understand what this means? ”

"My lord, if you have something to say, do I need to ask you if I understand?" Nanying was even more confused when he heard it, and simply used the title of "you and me".

"This means that not only is there no lieutenant at the moment, but there are only two of its many subordinates! It's the general you and the Huwei Captain Gao Shun, didn't he also lead the military Cao to engage? Liu Tao sighed and said, "So the general should understand, right?" ”

"What! What do you mean? Nan Ying finally understood his inner meaning, and said in shock: "Doesn't this mean that I, Gao Shun and I are the nominal lieutenants of Sili!" ”

"The general finally understood! And that's not all! There was a faint envy in Liu Tao's tone: "Your Majesty even opened Chrysostom in person and ordered the general to select 1,200 soldiers to accompany him on business!" ”

Since Zhang Zhong's death, 1,200 of his subordinate soldiers and horses have already been transferred to the Yellow Turban Battlefield, and he has not been explicitly ordered to return to the battlefield. Your Majesty's arrangement, the meaning is self-evident! Liu Tao looked at Nan Ying meaningfully and said: "If there is no accident, the general must be the next lieutenant of Si Li!" ”

Nan Ying was stunned for a long time, and finally understood Emperor Ling's good intentions, it turned out that after not letting him continue to be in charge of the army, he arranged such an important position to make up for him.

Nanying sighed and said: "Thank you for your advice, in fact, the general hopes in his heart that he can continue to lead the troops to fight!" Being an official is really tiring, beyond the ability of the general! ”

"The general is really funny!" Liu Tao couldn't help but smile and said: "To put it bluntly, the general, the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, is just a miscellaneous Zhonglang general, and the war is still in charge, if there is no war, it is an idle errand without soldiers and no generals, what is the use?" ”

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "The same Zhonglang general, but in fact, they are very different. If it is Guangluxun's subordinate Wuguan Zhonglang General, Left and Right Zhonglang General and Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, you can also command the forbidden army, you Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, don't do it! ”

Nan Ying was dumbfounded when he heard this, so he had to laugh at himself: "It seems that this Ying Yang Zhonglang is indeed not as good as any official, at least he can lead 1,200 soldiers and horses in the name of Si Li's captain!" ”

"I heard that Eagle Yang Zhonglang will rank more than a thousand stones?" He suddenly asked, "But I don't know what is the official rank of this capital official?" Since he is so powerful, he will not be less than Zhonglang General! ”

"Does the general really want to know?" The expression on Liu Tao's face suddenly became extremely strange, "In fact, the capital official should have been requisitioned by the state government itself, so this official rank is also paid by the state government, and it is not among the official ranks of the court!" ”

"How much, exactly?" Nanying vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"One hundred stones!" Liu Tao said slowly: "This official is vain in his holy will, the reason why the Son of Heaven made an exception and did not remove you from the post of Zhonglang General is that I am afraid that considering that this official is really low!" ”

"A thousand! Now a hundred? Nanying screamed: "There is no reason! It's too much of a bully! ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing in unison, both of them giving birth to a feeling of closeness that was shrinking.

Nan Ying laughed for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Lord Liu is indeed a straightforward person, but the general has always valued the false name of this Ying Yang Zhonglang general, but today he was damaged by you!" ”

"Straight?" Liu Tao's face flashed with a complicated color: "It's not a secret, this official has been hated many times because he spoke too straight, and even the Son of Heaven has specifically reprimanded this official!" ”

Nan Ying was silent, he didn't know what to say, he vaguely remembered that Liu Tao was indeed a famous minister in history, and later it seemed that he was also killed in prison because of his direct advice.

Liu Tao was stunned for a while, and then shook his head and said: "Danger is not benevolent, chaos is not wisdom, dare to spit out the righteousness of the time in the dynasty of slander, like frost and sun, it will be destroyed." The world is sad at the beginning, and today it is also sad and stupid. ”

Nan Ying was stunned and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Liu Tao showed a look of memory and said: "This is an article I gave to the court when I spoke for Li Ying's righteousness!" ”

"Li Ying?" Nan Ying blurted out, "Is it the leader of the party?" ”

Seeing Liu Tao nodding lightly, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. At this time, Nanying was no longer ignorant when he first arrived in your realm, that Li Ying had fought with China and North Korea for many years, and was the spiritual leader of the world's corporals, but finally died in the second party rebellion more than ten years ago. How many people dare not claim to be friends with him, but this Liu Tao dares to openly defend him, which shows his upright temperament that is not afraid of power.

He said sincerely: "Being as upright as Lord Liu is a model for officials in the world!" ”

Liu Tao trembled slightly, his eyes stared at Nanying without blinking, and after a long time, he suddenly exhaled and said abruptly: "It's me who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" ”

"Why do you talk like that?" Nanying said in surprise.

"To tell you the truth, I've been secretly tempting you before!" Liu Tao said calmly: "This trip is very important, and you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, I really don't understand whether you are here to assist me or to spy on me!" It's good to know what to expect! ”

Nanying said angrily: "Phew! You really look down on me! If the Son of Heaven really doesn't trust you, he will never send me to spy on you. It is better to send a scheming and ruthless minister who seeks the country! ”

The two smiled again, but there was no barrier.

"I've been talking about it for a long time!" Nanying suddenly shouted, "What are you going to do on this trip?" You've been saying that the stakes are high, and I still don't know anything about it! ”

"Just about to talk about it!" The ease on Liu Tao's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a solemn face: "Does the general believe that there are demons in this world?" ”

"Demon?" Nanying lost his voice and said, "How is this possible! ”

"Nope! On the Xianyang Plain in the north of Chang'an City, on the side of Xiling, where the nine emperors are resting, there have been many strange things in recent days, and many people have been victimized, and Chang'an is shaken! Liu Tao said, and couldn't help but show a hint of horror: "Some people even took the opportunity to make trouble, spreading rumors everywhere, saying that the disaster from heaven is a condemnation from heaven, and it is for the failure of government, and the responsibility for failure of government should be borne by the traitors in the DPRK and China!" ”

"Could this be a trick? Is it secretly provoking disputes between the DPRK and China? Nanying was also shocked.

"More than ten years ago, the green snake saw the front hall, and the wind pulled the wood! Langzhong Xie Bi once had the remark that 'harmony is born of virtue, and demonic spirit is born of loss of government', and his spearhead is directed at China and North Korea! Liu Tao said heavily: "After a bloody storm, Xie Bi himself also ended up dying, I didn't expect that after many years, I would hear such rumors, will there be another catastrophe?" ”

"No wonder!" Nan Ying suddenly felt a thrill and shouted: "No wonder the Son of Heaven said that it is a strange and sensational thing in the world!" This thing is definitely a conspiracy! ”
