The man with the scar realized that he had made a mistake and slapped himself hard, and then said, "Shizi, the last general always feels extremely uneasy. I'm afraid this Dou Changke is not a good person. What if we set our sights on the soldiers we brought? ”

After all, the banner they played was "reinforcements to the city".

Before the two sides tear their faces, some things must not be avoided.

And he also saw that Dou Changke's methods were very sophisticated, and today's "borrowing soldiers" was probably not a whim. There are two of them, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to deal with them after that.

Tang Mengqian naturally thought of this, but he was not as worried as him, "Don't worry." The soldiers of this world are not so easy to borrow. Give him a taste of the sweetness first, and then act later. What's more, when Xie Er returns to Lincheng, this person will be our biggest bargaining chip. When the time comes, wouldn't it be easy to want Xie Er to do something? ”

The man with the scar suddenly realized, and for a while he forgot the difference between dignity and inferiority, and gave him a thumbs up, "The son of the world is reasonable. Just now, the last general was too stupid to even think of this layer. ”

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside the door, "Shizi, Dou Gongzi asks to see." ”

Tang Mengqian immediately got up, straightened his robe, and then walked out calmly.

And Dou Changke was already waiting in the lobby, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Take the liberty of disturbing, and please don't blame Tang Shizi." ”

"How could it be?" Tang Mengqian smiled gently and politely, and after sitting down with him, he asked, "I think Brother Dou is in good spirits, but there is a big victory ahead?" ”

Dou Changke smiled heartily, hugged his fists and said, "That's true." Speaking of which, it's really thanks to Tang Shizi. Otherwise, if the exhausted soldiers in the city alone want to fight such a beautiful battle, it will be tantamount to making it difficult to reach the sky. ”

Tang Mengqian waved his hand, looking unconcerned, "I just provided some people, and I can't afford such praise." If you want me to say, Brother Dou is really like a god with soldiers, with only 5,000 people, he can actually block the enemy army outside the city gate, it is simply a rare pillar talent of the Liang Dynasty! ”

"Where is it, the main thing is that Tang Shizi sends charcoal in the snow......"

“……”

As a result, there was a strange scene in the hall - two people with their own thoughts suddenly praised each other, you praise me for sending charcoal in the snow, I praise you for being good at fighting, and you have a non-stop posture that does not distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

The man with the scar stood beside him, looking at the two of you coming and going, his brows furrowed into a lump.

Taking advantage of the gap between them to breathe, he suddenly spoke, and also took the opportunity to disrupt their rhythm, "Shizi, the banquet hall must be ready, do you want to move over first?" ”

Tang Mengqian immediately got up and walked over with Dou Changke.

Although there were enemy troops in the outer city, the inner city guard was not affected much. As soon as he heard that Tang Mengqian led troops to reinforce, Wang Jing, the city guard of Lincheng, had already prepared a banquet, which was called a beautiful name to wash the dust for Tang Mengqian.

When Dou Changke walked to the banquet hall with Tang Mengqian, he saw the big and small officials in the city, looking at each other, familiar and unfamiliar, all showing a cheerful and flattering smile at this moment. He paused and walked a few steps behind Tang Mengqian without a trace.

He didn't want to get too close to this ill-intentioned person.

"Tang Shizi's visit to the cold house is simply brilliant!" Wang Jing greeted him first, his appearance was mediocre, but his face was surprisingly black, and he smiled like this, revealing two rows of white teeth, which made his smile more and more flattering and enthusiastic.

Dou Changke stood behind Tang Mengqian, remembering that when he retreated to Lincheng, this Wang Chengshou scolded indignantly, and his face was suddenly covered with a little coldness.

These people are all big officials of the Liang Dynasty, but they are not in their positions, and they really live up to the expectations of the people.

"Shizi, this is the king's city guard." The man with the scar introduced.

Tang Mengqian nodded politely, and accompanied by Wang Jing, he walked through the crowd with a smile on his face. Dou Changke stood impatiently aside, waiting for their greetings to end.

He deliberately restrained the momentum on his body, and now stood in a backlit corner, silently scanning the people in the banquet room. At this glance, I found that the person who came was not an official in the city, or a wealthy family in the city, a celebrity gentry, and a large number of people.

It wasn't until Tang Mengqian called him that he finally came out and bowed slightly at everyone present, which could be regarded as a simple salute.

The matter of his retreat to Lincheng is known to everyone in Lincheng. Especially some people who had conflicts with him, when they saw him appear leisurely in the banquet hall, their faces became extremely exciting.

But because Tang Mengqian was also present, no one embarrassed him. They seem to have forgotten about the unpleasantness for a while, and the superficial work is not bad.

So, led by Tang Mengqian and Wang Jing, the group quickly took their seats.

The banquet hall occupies a wide area, and the inside is the distribution of seats connected to the restaurant. Due to the large number of people, there were five seats in the hall, each of which was not far from each other and was not covered by any screen. At first glance, it looks like the scene of people in the countryside setting up a banquet.

Dou Changke sat in his position with his eyes and nose and nose, listening to the mutual praise of Tang Mengqian and Wang Jing beside him, and his sword eyebrows were twisted into inverted eight. These people are really verbose. When I went to a banquet with the boss in the past, I had never seen such trouble.

At this time, I really miss the boss!

He reminisced in his heart, and drank with a melancholy expression. At this moment, the man with the scar walked in quickly, attached himself to Tang Mengqian's ear, and whispered a few words.

In the next moment, Tang Mengqian raised his eyes to look at him, his originally warm face was instantly cold as frost, and his eyes were like swords, piercing his face mercilessly.

He couldn't help but clench the cup in his hand, and before he could come up with a reason, Tang Mengqian had already returned to normal, and whispered something to Wang Jing, and saw Wang Jing glancing at him, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Just as I was nervous, the fragrant wind was gusting, and a group of brightly dressed women walked in with Shanshan lotus steps, twisted their thin waists, lined up, and stood at the door of the hall with a smile.

"This is the girls from Qingyunfang in the city, they are all Qingqi," Wang Jing smiled blindly, waved his hand, but said, "You all go over and serve all the nobles well." ”

As a result, there was an extra low stool beside everyone, and the women sat down in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere in the banquet instantly rose.

Dou Changke was suspicious in his heart, and looked around, but he didn't find anything abnormal. But for some reason, the glance that Tang Mengqian looked at him just now was like a demon in a dream, and he didn't retreat in his mind for a long time.

He turned his head sideways, but only saw the back of Tang Mengqian's head.

At this moment, there were two women sitting next to him, constantly persuading him to drink, and he could shirk the past at first, but he didn't want to, Tang Mengqian also got involved, and the instruction of "good life to serve" made the two women more and more fearless.

No matter how good-tempered Dou Changke was, he couldn't help but get angry at this moment, slapped the table, walked out of his seat again, and said to Tang Mengqian: "Shizi, there are still important things in the army, please forgive me for not staying longer." If you have the opportunity in the future, you will continue today's unfinished wine. ”

Without waiting for Tang Mengqian to agree, he lifted his robe and passed through the narrow cracks.

The next moment, he suddenly stopped.

But when he saw a row of black-clothed people walking at the door, he didn't have any weapons in his hands, but the murderous aura that came to his face made him shake all over, and he looked at Tang Mengqian, and said in a cold voice: "Tang Shizi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Tang Mengqian poured a glass of wine freely, and his smile did not change, "Brother Dou, you are here, how can you leave the table halfway?" What's more, this is a good intention that Wang Chengshou has been preparing for a long time, if he fails to live up to it, wouldn't it seem to be ignorant? ”

Dou Changke turned to look at Wang Jing, "Lord City Guard, the war cannot be delayed, even if I withdraw this time, you must be able to understand, right?" ”

Although Wang Jing was surprised by Tang Mengqian's actions, he also did not dismantle his platform, but said: "Today, Tang Shizi is a distinguished guest, if he neglects it, it is not ours." Brother Dou, we have just won the battle, and for a while, the Northern Underworld people will not make a big move. Why don't you sit down and relax......"

Dou Changke's heart sank suddenly, but he insisted, "Tang Shizi, there must be no one in the army who is in charge......

"It's just not going to be a big deal, this son of the world will send someone to go, there should be no problem, right?" Tang Mengqian was unmoved, pointed to the scarred man beside him and said, "Today, Brother Dou wants to have a drink with everyone present, and you will be responsible for the city tower!" Remember, hold fast to the gates, or you will come to see you. ”

The man with the scar immediately responded, glanced at Dou Changke, and strode out.

Although Dou Changke didn't know what was going on, he could also see that Tang Mengqian was trying to detain him.

He was secretly thinking about how likely it was to break out, but he heard Tang Mengqian ask, "Brother Dou, now that this is the case, can you rest assured?" ”

"I think I still have to take a look for myself......" Dou Changke had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that the scarred man might discover his secret, he was suddenly anxious, and rushed towards the man in black at the door without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, Tang Meng stood up humbly and said sharply: "Brother Dou! In such a hurry, isn't it afraid of being discovered? ”

Dou Changke stopped suddenly, his hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and after a while, he slowly turned around, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Tang Shizi is serious." What do I need to worry about......"

"That's good." Tang Mengqian immediately put away the coldness just now, pointed to his position, and smiled leisurely, "Since there is nothing to worry about, it is better to sit down and have a few more drinks." It just so happens that I also want to ask you why I have been in Lincheng for so long, but I haven't seen Mrs. Yuan! I heard that Brother Dou has a good relationship with her, so I should know her whereabouts......"

He sighed suddenly, as if he was extremely sorry, "It stands to reason that as a general of the First Army, you should not leave the army without permission. But people are terrible, I'm afraid that someone will leak their mouths and tell the news, at that time, Mrs. Yuan is only afraid that she will be impeached by the ministers of the Tianjing Dynasty, and her great military exploits will be affected! ”

As soon as he heard this, Dou Changke immediately sat back in peace.

The situation is stronger than people, even if he wants to resist, he can't be in this position.

Tang Mengqian glanced at him coldly, his face covered with frost. As soon as he remembered the news he had just gotten, he immediately rolled over with his heart, poured down a few glasses of wine hatefully, and when he looked at Dou Changke again, he became more and more unpleasant.

The meal, in a tense atmosphere, finally ended.

Dou Changke didn't vomit in one breath, but he was pulled over by Tang Mengqian and drank the so-called "sobering tea".

After a cup, the whole person is unconscious.

When I woke up again, I found myself in the dark, so quiet that I could hear the wind blowing and falling leaves.

He struggled to his feet, trying to stretch again. Apart from weakness, there was no pain on his body.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to grope his way to take a step, when suddenly there was a bright light not far away, as big as a bean, and it was swaying wildly by the wind, shining the shadows of teeth and claws outside.

The door creaked open, and Tang Mengqian, who was dressed in a black suit, walked in, his eyes fixed on him, and he smiled wildly, "Brother Dou, can you wake up?" ”

Dou Changke chuckled lightly and said, "Even if you didn't wake up before, after seeing Tang Shizi, you should wake up." I've seen a lot of people, but it's the first time I've seen someone like Tang Shizi, who looks like he has a sobering and frightening effect. ”

"Really?" Tang Mengqian's smile couldn't hold it anymore, and he said hatefully, "At this time, you are still sharp-toothed, and you deserve to be appreciated by Xie Er." ”

Dou Changke crossed his arms and watched, and said without pain: "Tang Shizi, I don't think that you deliberately trapped me in the city guard mansion, and put drugs in the sobering soup, just to find an opportunity to praise me." You and I are both understanding people, so it's better to say it clearly. ”

"Hmph, you're a bit of a looker." Tang Mengqian snorted coldly and said coldly, "You are the first one who dares to hit the head of this world." Just rush this, this world will not let you have a good time. ”

When Dou Changke heard this, he immediately understood what he was referring to.

These are all methods used in secret, although they were debunked by Tang Mengqian, he also looked calm, hugged his fists and said: "Tang Shizi is polite." You and I are only half a catty, why do you have to say it so high-sounding? ”

Tang Mengqian saw him admit it calmly, the qi in his chest surged up, rushed up in three steps and two steps, grabbed his collar, and said with a hideous face: "Dou Changke, who gave you the courage to dare to fool this son?" ”

As soon as the words fell, his fingers opened into claws, pinching Dou Changke's neck, his eyes full of hatred.

Fleeing all the way from Tianjing to Yunzhou, he experienced the most embarrassing time in his life.

I thought that by occupying Lincheng, I would be able to pocket all the cities in the northern border pass according to the terrain of Lincheng, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unexpectedly, it was unfavorable to be a teacher, and he was almost planted on Dou Changke, a hairy boy!

The breath he was holding in his chest finally burst out at this moment, and he picked up his fist and smashed it towards Dou Changke.

Face, back, abdomen......

Every place on Dou Changke's body, after being greeted by dense fists, there were bursts of heart-piercing pain. He gritted his teeth and did not beg for mercy, and after a while, he was beaten and his nose and face were swollen.

At this time, the man with the scar suddenly walked in and said respectfully: "Shizi, people have arrived at the city gate." You see, do you need to go now? ”

Dou Changke's heart moved, the pain in his body seemed to disappear, and that sentence kept echoing in his mind.

Have you arrived at the city gates?

Who?

Thinking of Tang Mengqian's abnormality, he was suddenly overjoyed.

It must be that Mrs. Yuan is back!

As everyone knows, the joy on his face fell into Tang Mengqian's eyes, and it looked extremely eye-catching.

Tang Mengqian punched him in the face with hatred, and then kicked him in the heart, and said with pity: "Take this person with you!" This son wants to see what Xie Er will look like when he sees him. ”

The man with the scar immediately stepped forward, lifted Dou Changke's back collar like a chicken, and followed Tang Mengqian out.

By this time, night had fallen.

There was no one on the long street, and the killing intent was pervasive.

Dou Changke was lying on the horse's back, and the acupoint was stopped, and he couldn't say or move. But those sly eyes gurgled and turned, and occasionally a flash of light flashed.

He was keenly aware that there were more than twice as many guards in the city as usual, but it also indirectly confirmed his suspicions.

It must be that guy back!

Otherwise, Tang Mengqian would not be so close to the enemy!

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly smirked, and the scarred man next to him smashed his fist, which happened to hit his mouth, and he could only endure it silently, and fought back with murderous eyes.

The man with the scar was naturally not afraid of his glare, and he did it directly if he didn't like it, and he was walking in the team on a winter night, but when he heard the thud of his fist smashing into the flesh, it was more tragic than the other.

After a short time, a group of several people finally went up to the city tower.

Dou Changke held a face that had been beaten into a pig's head, squinting his eyes and looking down.

But I saw a group of people standing at the city gate, and the first person was straight and extraordinary, and it was Xie Fenghua, who had not been seen for many days.

Suddenly, he forgot about his situation and was about to open his mouth to shout, but to find that he could not make any sound.

Seeing this, Tang Mengqian clicked on his dumb hole, and the next moment, he heard him shouting below, "Young lady...... Young lady, I'm here ......."

This familiar voice caused everyone at the city gate to look up in unison.

As soon as he saw the people tied up by Wuhua on the city tower, Jiang Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly swallowed his saliva and exclaimed: "My obedient, this is Dou Changke?" How did this kid get beaten like this? ”

Du Huaishao was also shocked.

It's not that they are rare and strange, but in memory, Dou Changke is both cunning and brave, and there are very few people who can make him suffer. As soon as he saw his miserable situation, even Xie Fenghua was a little unacceptable.

After the shock, Xie Fenghua became more and more cautious. She swept her eyes around, but she didn't find Yuan Mindong's figure, and the cold color between her eyebrows was a little deeper.

Just as he was about to shout, Tang Mengqian's shout was already heard from the city tower, "Young Lady Yuan, long time no see." Are you still satisfied with this meeting gift that this son gave you? ”

Xie Fenghua raised his head, met his gaze in mid-air, and said lukewarmly: "Tang Shizi, what can't you say well?" Do you have to make a move? If my men have done something wrong, I have taught them a lesson, so why do you do it yourself? ”

"Then you have to ask this Brother Dou what good things he has done."

Tang Mengqian slammed Dou Changke against the city wall, the rough and cold wall cut his cheeks, and he was so angry that he scolded on the spot, "Tang Mengqian, if you are a man, you will fight with a real knife." What are you to threaten people like this? ”

"Shut up!" Tang Mengqian's subordinates increased their strength again, but their eyes were firmly fixed on Xie Fenghua's body, "Young Lady Yuan, are you satisfied with what you see?" If you are not satisfied, this son does not mind demonstrating it again. ”

Xie Fenghua's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer immediately.

In the past few days, her news has been a little closed, and it was not until she left the island that she knew that so many things had happened at the border pass.

She also learned that Dou Changke did not wait for reinforcements from the imperial court, so he could only lead his exhausted soldiers and retreat south step by step to Lincheng. Despite his best efforts to control his losses, he lost two cities.

So, after going down the mountain, she led people straight to Lincheng.

The terrain of Lincheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with Dou Changke's ability, it is not difficult to resist the attack of Beiming for a period of time. She thought that when she came to Lincheng, she would see an orderly defense, but she didn't expect that a Tang Mengqian would almost destroy a city.

She had always been very intelligent, and in an instant she thought of what might happen in Tianjing.

At this moment, she didn't have time to think too much, and she wanted to save Dou Changke back, so she could only follow Tang Mengqian's words and say: "Tang Mengqian, this is the border city of the Liang Dynasty. As a courtier of the Liang Dynasty, you don't think about defending against the enemy, but draw a knife behind your back, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back? ”

Tang Mengqian was stunned, his face became ugly, and under the illumination of the swaying lantern at the city tower, his whole face became more and more hideous and terrifying.

He slammed Dou Changke's head against the slightly lower slot of the city wall, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Xie Er!" It's not your turn to tell me what to do! Dou Changke is in my hands, and if he is interested, he will obediently do what I ask. ”

Xie Fenghua was silent for a moment before he said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?" ”

"It's very simple......" Tang Mengqian raised his voice and said half a sentence, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the distance. followed the sound and looked over, but saw the dust at the end of the sight, the sound of horses' hooves, and the Northern Hell cavalry came menacingly. They ran very fast, and the team at the front of the black armor was like a swinging black line.

These people actually took advantage of the fire to rob!

Tang Mengqian looked coldly at the Northern Underworld people who were getting closer and closer, and immediately had an idea, and shouted at Xie Fenghua: "Kill all these people!" Otherwise, Dou Changke would soon become a corpse. ”

"Despicable!" Du Huaishao clenched his fists and scolded angrily.

Jiang Yu's face was also full of anger, he looked back at the approaching black line, and said hurriedly: "Young lady, they are coming over." To fight or not to fight, you get an idea as soon as possible! ”

Xie Fenghua's thoughts were complicated at the moment, and he also turned his head to look at the Northern Underworld who was galloping over.

You can imagine with your toes that this battle must be fought and won!

But she was not happy to be threatened by Tang Mengqian, and she was even more unwilling to lose her own people. Suddenly, her heart moved, and her eyes fell on Ling Yuanfei's body, and she didn't move again.

Ling Fei was stared at by her eyes, and subconsciously rode his horse back and asked, "Why do you think of me like that?" ”

"Miss, it's really my honor to know you!" Before the words fell, Xie Fenghua had already pulled her to his horse unexpectedly, his cold fingers stuck in her neck, and her body suddenly froze in place.

Xiao Hei immediately became anxious and yelled at her, "Let go of the eldest lady!" ”

Da Hei seemed a lot calmer, but he still couldn't hide the anger in his heart, "What are you going to do to the eldest lady?" ”

"As you can see, hug the beauty." Xie Fenghua hooked his lips, looked down at Ling Yuanfei, and exhaled, "Since the eldest lady has brought someone over, she can't go on this trip in vain, right?" ”

"This battle, you guys will fight!"
