The sky was gray.

Tang Xi led five hundred men out of Yangxin, and soon after leaving the city, he asked the troops to stop and reconsider the path of this trip, he was a little worried that it would rain.

Tang Qing, who was wearing fine armor, jumped down from his horse, grabbed the neck of the grain supervisor Tang Xi, and asked with a glare, "Where are you going to take the team?" ”

Tang Xi was embarrassed by this matter, and he didn't know how to explain to this "virtuous nephew", since he asked about it, he simply said directly: "I don't know which one was eventful, but it exposed your whereabouts, and as a result, I was removed by Tang Qi." No, in the name of beauty, I was promoted from the commander of the first regiment to the captain of the school and the grain inspector, and let me leave Yangxin with 500 people and collect grain everywhere. She deliberately ordered me to ask that no one stay. I said, nephew, don't hold me by the neck, it's uncomfortable. ”

Tang Qing tilted his head and let go of his hand: "You listen to everything she says, but you don't listen to what I say, it seems that the alliance between us can be dissolved." ”

As he spoke, Tang Qing turned around and left.

"Hey, nephew." Tang Xi hurriedly caught up and begged: "You can save your worries, in fact, there is nothing wrong with supervising grain." Always operating in the rear, relatively speaking, it is indeed a lot safer. And our military exploits will not be less. ”

Tang Qing turned his head and said, "Tang Xi, of course I know in my heart what you are doing, and for you, it is of course a good thing to be promoted and safe." But what about me? What am I here for? I'm here to fight, and I want to prove in front of Tang Qi that I'm a man. Tell me about her, a girl's family, what kind of system does it become to soak in the army all day long? I, who am a man, will be in the army with her, and I will be free from tongue in the future. ”

Tang Xi didn't dare to speak.

Tang Qing looked angry and said: "No, I have to go back, this time I will go directly to Dianhan, I will be the captain of the first regiment." ”

Tang Qing led the four masters to obey and returned to Yangxin.

Go straight to the coder.

"Dianhan, I want to be the captain of the first regiment."

Dian Han said embarrassedly: "The commander of the first regiment has been appointed by Tang Qi, and I have no choice." ”

Tang Qing narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Gu Tong."

"I don't know." Tang Qing said: "Who is the captain of the second regiment?" ”

"Tang Ling."

Hearing the name Tang Ling, Tang Qing's eyes immediately widened.

"Oh, Uncle Xiaotang!" Tang Qing was overjoyed and said, "He's in this team?" Why haven't I seen it? ”

Dian Han said with a bitter face: "He has been following my team, and when we crossed the river, we went directly to Bohai City, but you were in Dizhou City, so we haven't seen each other." He was afraid of fighting, and every time he fought, he hid in the rear, but he was still wounded, and then he had no choice, so I sent him a lieutenant general, and every time he charged, he was led by the lieutenant general. He was still lying in the house, but his injuries had long since healed, and he said he couldn't get up. I didn't either. ”

Tang Qing waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about him in the future." From today onwards, I will go to the Second Regiment, and you will remove your adjutant from me, and from now on I will lead the Second Regiment. ”

"Young Master, that's dangerous."

"Am I afraid of danger?" Tang Qing stiffened his neck: "I, Tang Qing, am a natural general, make the best use of everything, I will come to you to be the captain, what do you have to worry about?" Hurry up, go get things in order, remember, I'm called Tang Dudu now. ”

Dian Han was helpless, so he could only follow the words of the eldest young master.

There's no way, who calls people the eldest son and eldest grandson, I can't afford to offend.

——

There was silence between heaven and earth, and Tang Yuan was sitting under the moon, raising a bonfire, adding firewood to the bonfire from time to time.

Now that there is no need to fight, Tang Qi requires the soldiers to eat only two meals a day, and one of them is still porridge.

Tang Yuan could understand Tang Qi's distress in his heart, but some soldiers couldn't understand it, and shouted: We worked hard for the imperial court, but we couldn't even eat enough, his grandmother's, what is the matter?

Hearing these words, Tang Yuan didn't pay attention to them, just endured them silently.

Sometimes, people who want to be generals can crush a person with the bits and pieces they bear in their hearts.

The young man's heart is boiling in the army, and it becomes mature little by little, and the former juvenile heart gradually converges, like a tree, and can no longer return to the way it was when it was a seedling.

"His grandmother's, Lao Tzu hasn't found a daughter-in-law yet, so you kid asked for one first?"

Tang Hu's voice came from a distance, and following the sound, Tang Hu pinched a soldier's neck and shouted noisily.

"Tang Hu, he's bullying the little soldiers again."

"Where did I bully him, he kid was angry with me first!"

"Why is he mad at you?"

"He said he had a daughter-in-law, and you said, isn't this my eye?"

"People have daughters-in-law, that's their ability, why did they give you eye medicine? You come back to me, and don't cause trouble there. ”

At this time, Nalan Xin ran over, and shouted as he ran: "Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan, hurry up and assemble the team, something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong!"

"The eldest young master, Tang Qing, rushed to Pyeongchang with eight hundred soldiers."

"He's crazy?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter if he's crazy or not, let's act now. Tang Qi was already on fire, claiming to leave him alone and let him die. But do you think Tang Qi really wants him to die? That's when we behave. Nalan Xin said anxiously.

Tang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's not mess around with this, but..., if Tang Qing is really dead, it will really not be a good thing for Tang Qi." However, we have always obeyed orders, and today we suddenly didn't listen to the order and directly led the troops to support Tang Qing, don't you think it will make Tang Qi think that I am a person who is difficult to control? ”

"Do you think you're in control?"

"What's that called?"

"You still don't understand this, this time the captain of the first regiment can be transferred directly, but Tang Qi didn't do this, don't you have any points in your heart?"

"Tell me what you think."

"Tang Qi deliberately didn't put you in a fixed sequence, just to give full play to your strange characteristics. A lot of times, you want to be in front of the general, so that your position will be stronger. You've got to behave. In the future, the Fourth Division will temporarily enter the regular sequence, and the establishment of the Second Regiment of your division will be gone, but as long as you perform well, maybe you will be given the title of captain as a general, which is also very good. ”

Nalan Xin often speaks surprisingly, and he can always use clever tricks when it doesn't seem like an opportunity, and this time is no exception.

Tang Yuan walked back to the house, looked at the map, and asked Nalan Xin, "How long have they been on their way." ”

"It's been at least half an hour."

"Then it's too late for us to chase him," Tang Yuan turned to Chen Bao and said, "Take two hundred cavalry and follow me!" ”

"Yes!"

Luoyang.

Yesterday, the lamp was very good, and an interesting thing happened on the bank of the Luoshui River, and now this matter has been rendered in various colors, and it has spread in the mouths of those mothers-in-law of high-ranking families.

It is rumored that Qian Citron, the granddaughter of the Qian family, had an affair with the head of the mission who was about to rush to Sangla, but was bumped into by the seventh son of the Tang family by the Luoshui River.

The words of the mother-in-law always have a touch of weirdness, and of course, there are some rebuttals in it.

However, in the end, it is the previous sentence that occupies an overwhelming advantage, and everyone prefers to believe in some "worrying" things rather than those things that go smoothly.

In the face of these gossips, the parties Wu Yin, Qian Citron, and Tang Xiao scoffed, because only they knew that it was just a misunderstanding.

At that time, Qian Citron just casually found a well-dressed and good-looking son on the side of the road, and pulled someone's sleeve and didn't let go, how would she know that this person was the head of the current Sangla Mission.

As a result, now that the news has spread to the palace, Zhao Yazheng said it to the Queen Mother with a smile.

After that, the two of them looked at Zhao Ce with a snicker, Zhao Ce looked a little uncomfortable, shook his head and pretended to have nothing to do, and went to the study to read.

——

Mon Province.

Prime Minister Meng Danqing's face was pale, and the eldest prince Meng Zong stood beside him, and a large group of people stood in front of him, including Ji Yifa, a nine-rank swordsman.

After Ji Yifa's explanation, Meng Danqing chose to believe Ji Yifa, after all, the old prime minister knew his fifth son too well, and there was always a trace of impulse in his character, if he had been hiding in the shadows, he would never have been poisoned.

As a result, not only did he mix up the "hunting" plan, but also put his life into it, and now the Meng family has one less person who can do things, which makes the old man who is past his prime, and his face looks more and more vicissitudes.

But now, Meng Zong, the eldest son of the Meng family, seems to be full of energy, because at this time, all the people who can compete with him for the heir of the Meng family are dead.

Although there are still some members of the Meng family in the army and in the court, compared to Meng Zong, who holds three armies, their strength and prestige are simply too weak.

The old man's voice sounded in the hall, and Meng Danqing said bitterly: "I am also responsible for Meng Du's death. I can't do the amount I can do, it looks like I'm really old. After the end of this Hebei War, I plan to give up the position of patriarch, but before that, we should discuss who will take my place. ”

The older generation in the family looked at each other, and Meng Qingzhong, the oldest and the highest, said: "Danqing has worked hard for the Meng family all his life, I see these in my eyes, think about it carefully, Danqing became the head of the family at the age of thirty-five, and now it has been three or six or seven years." After so many years, how many things have happened, I can't remember clearly, and now that the heir of the Meng family is selected, I think Danqing should still be in charge. We old things have been away from the military and politics for many years, and we should no longer blindly participate in it. ”

After Meng Qingzhong finished speaking, Meng Qingqing waved his hand and said, "I think it's too abrupt to make a decision now. After all, Danqing's body is still strong, so we don't have to be too anxious. Moreover, the revenge of Meng Yang and Meng Du has not been avenged, and the real culprit behind the scenes has not been found, so changing the patriarch at this time, isn't it possible to fall into the trap of the enemy? ”

Meng Qingzhong said: "Do you think that this was done by the Tang family or the Ximen family?" ”

Meng celebrated: "Before I find the real culprit, I will still suspect them, and even I suspect the Queen Mother." After all, in the two hundred years since the founding of the Great Liang People's Republic, the struggle between the three families has never stopped, which is also the reason why our group of people have been practicing martial arts since childhood. But those who can't practice the five grades have withdrawn from the family affairs early. Either go to work as a civil official, or take care of some trivial things within the family. ”

Meng Qingzhong sighed: "Yes, the events of previous years are vivid, I still remember when our grandfather was here, how fierce the fight was at that time." Half of the killers in the world are working for several major families, living in the shadow of death every day. ”

——

Zhengzhou, Chen's wine shop.

The Jiupin assassin Cao Feihu is healing his sister Cao Hairpin, and although the knife on his back is not fatal, it is already deep in the bones, which shows the danger of this battle.

And in the end, it was not Cao Haiying who stabbed Meng Du to death, but Cao Feihu who came in makeup. The attack was extremely fast, and the people beside Meng Du didn't have time to react at all, and the battle was already over.

At this time, Xiao Xianmei, who invited their brothers and sisters to help with the fist, also collapsed on another bed, with a high fever.

In a battle with Ji Yifa, she swallowed a pill that instantly improved her strength, otherwise she would have died under Ji Yifa's sword.

"Take less of that medicine later." Cao Feihu walked over.

Xiao Xianmei opened her eyes, which were a pair of beautiful eyes, "If you don't eat it this time, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to eat it in the future." ”

There was a haggard look on her face that was hard to hide.

Cao Feihu moved a chair and sat down: "Why are you fighting so hard?" ”

"The money is much more."

"You like money so much?"

"Don't you like it?"

"I prefer life." Cao Feihu looked at the woman with beautiful eyes with pity, but Xiao Xianmei didn't look at him anymore, she turned her head: "This mission can give me a thousand taels." Your brothers and sisters will help me, at least half of you. ”

"If you don't give me money, I'll help you too."

"No, I don't want to owe a favor."

"But I think I can help you, which in itself is a favor."

Xiao Xianmei sat up and stared at Cao Feihu: "What is the most taboo among killers?" ”

"I know what you're trying to say." Cao Feihu lowered his head: "But I am also a human being, and if I am a human being, I have feelings." ”

"Brother Cao, I want you to see the situation clearly, I'm not a suitable person." Xiao Xianmei said: "My life has never been in my hands, and I still need to complete 17 tasks issued by the organization to make up for a hundred." That's when I'll be free. ”

"That's how you trust the organization?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you count the number of times, I'm afraid that Cao Feihu will have more than two hundred times, but am I leaving?"

"That's because you don't want to leave."

"You're wrong." Cao Feihu has a thin face, slightly hung with some traces of time, and looks like he is thirty-four or five years old, "I want to leave, since I completed my first mission, I want to leave." It's not the organization I want to see," he added, after a pause, as if to emphasize something, "No." ”

"So you mean, someone is forcing you?" Xiao Xianmei was puzzled: "Dignified Ninth Rank Assassin, who can stop you?" ”

Cao Feihu said: "You are also an assassin of the eighth grade, if you want to escape with all your might, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop you." ”

Xiao Xianmei sighed and said, "We are different, I don't have a handle in the hands of the organization. ”

"No, you have a handle."

"What's my deal?"

"The organization promised you that when you complete a hundred tasks, they will give you one-third of the total amount of money for your previous tasks. Is that right? ”

"Yes."

"Don't worry, they won't give it to you, or rather, they won't give it all at once."
