Chen Qi couldn't resist him, so he had to give up. The next day was the nineteenth day, and before dawn, Chen Qi rushed out with his troops.

However, after patrolling all day, except for a few thieves in the market, there was nothing unusual. The entourage soldier flattered and said that after all, it was Commander Chen, and if there were any bad people who had fled from the wind, where would there be any reason to send them to the door.

Although Chen Qi was unhappy, he had no choice but to give up.

The next day, Zheng Lun was replaced again.

This time, nothing unusual was found throughout the day, but in the evening, the people in the southeast corner of the city reported that they had made a new discovery by the well.

It is said that the people there put their buckets down into the well to draw water, but the buckets did not sink at all when they entered the well, as if they were held up by something. When I looked at it, there seemed to be something floating on the water at the bottom of the well.

The people took a long hook and scratched the thing, and it was some strange clothes, because the news of the bloody clothes found in the southern city had already spread, and the people were afraid and did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly reported it to Zheng Lun, who was patrolling the city.

Zheng Lun took a look at those clothes, and sure enough, they were a few battle robes, which were blistered and tangled in water.

He carefully flipped through it, and this time, he found another emblem at the back of the waist.

This emblem, he knows......

Sixteen years ago, Huo Qinglin was ordered to go west to conquer the Fufeng country, and then an envoy from Fufeng came to accept the letter of surrender, and the envoy's clothes were embroidered with this emblem.

First there is Dengyan, and then there is Fufeng......

What the hell is this?!

Zheng Lun's resourcefulness was not low, although he was one step slower than Ye Zhiqiu, he also thought of a certain possibility.

The forces of the surrounding neighboring small countries are slowly gathering in secret.

When Zheng Lun handed over the robe to Ye Zhiqiu's hands, it happened that Chen Qi was also in Qinghuai Villa.

Zheng Lun checked twice, but he couldn't find anything, Chen Qi was very angry.

However, where did Ye Zhiqiu still have the leisure to take care of his mood, the robes of the Dengyan Kingdom and the Fufeng Kingdom appeared in the imperial capital one after another, which confirmed Ye Zhiqiu's speculation.

"Lord Ye! It's time to order! Blockade the entire southern city and find out these turtle grandchildren hidden in the horns! ”

Chen Qi's emotions were far more excited than Zheng Lun's, and he hated this kind of opponent who didn't dare to face him head-on.

Ye Zhiqiu still shook his head.

"Why? It's already been found twice, so why be appeased? ”

"Because it's so weird!" Ye Zhiqiu said sharply: "You think, whether it is the Dengyan Country or the Fufeng Country, it is not a friend of the Cangwu Country. Dengyan Country can't escape from the world, and Fufeng Country dares to be angry and dare not speak out about the old defeats in the past, if this is the reinforcement invited by Li Houcong, it is unreasonable! ”

Zheng Lun nodded and said: "Actually, I have also thought about this, but Li Houcong has always been two-faced, and it may not be impossible to make some promises to induce these small states to come to help." Lord Ye, please think about it, now Li Houcong does not have many troops in his hands, and he is contained in Hanjiang by Wen Lan. He wants to counterattack us as soon as possible, so it is also a good idea to directly repair the book and ask the surrounding states to join forces to send troops. ”

"Join forces?" Ye Zhiqiu snorted: "Just these few shrimp soldiers and crab generals? I'm only worried that Li Houcong's drunkard doesn't mean to drink! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you think about it carefully, judging from the hidden robes, there are only a dozen people, and there is absolutely no possibility of success, but you have to put on such a suspicious appearance, which is obviously to make us mess up. If you blockade the southern city today, he will appear in the west and east tomorrow! What to do then? Are you still in lockdown? With 25,000 Dragon Scale Army and Janissary Guard, it is very easy to blockade the entire imperial capital! But what about people's hearts? Panicked and rumors, I am afraid that before Li Houcong comes to attack the city, the people have already begun to make a fuss! ”

"Who dares to make a fuss? I was the first to cut off his head! Chen Qi shouted angrily.

"Chop? Kill them all, kill them all? I only dared to kill thirty-six ministers in the entire court, and the entire imperial capital was full of two million ordinary people, do you plan to kill them all? Aren't you afraid of the people boiling and changing? At that time, why do you need Li Houcong to send troops, and whether we can get out of Panyun Gate alive is unknown! ”

Ye Zhiqiu asked rhetorically for a while, scolding Chen Qi speechless.

Seeing this, Zheng Lun persuaded from the side: "What Lord Ye said is indeed reasonable, and Lord Chen has not met those rats in the past few days, so he is not happy, so he is a little impatient......

Before the words fell, Chen Qi was already annoyed: "What do you mean by this?" Even if you patrol the city twice, that's your luck, how can you say that I can't patrol the city? ”

Zheng Lun was also anxious when he said a word, "Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, I will cover up your ugliness for you, but you don't appreciate it, with your rough temperament, what's so strange about patrolling the city and patrolling some fish that have slipped through the net?" ”

Chen Qi was so annoyed that he was about to turn his face, but he was stopped by Ye Zhiqiu.

"The two of you are the left and right arms of the Han Commander, why didn't you see the enemy's face, so you turned your eyes first? Do you want Lee Hou Cong to raise a glass to celebrate tonight? The enemy is still outside, how can it be in front of you?! ”

Chen Qi and Zheng Lun were originally in a relationship of mutual disobedience, and Han Fushang had already told Ye Zhiqiu about this when he was alive. It's just that Han Fu suppressed it before, and after Han Fu's death, the plan arranged by Ye Zhiqiu was successful repeatedly, so Chen Qi and Zheng Lun were also safe.

Unexpectedly, since preparing to defend the city, the daily atmosphere has gradually become tense, and some treacherous things have been patrolling the city in the past few days, Chen Qi's tense nerves have been the limit, and Zheng Lun's unintentional words finally detonated the contradiction between the two.

Ye Zhiqiu is not Han Fu after all, he can say a word, but fortunately, he expected that he might encounter this situation in the future, and he still had a hand. He took out Han Fu's previous handwritten letter, and comforted them with kind words, which persuaded the two of them. However, both of them are arrogant people, and they seem to be reconciled, but the suspicion in their hearts still falls.

In the dead of night, the three of them couldn't figure out what the situation was in the end, so they could only disperse in a sullen mood.

******

In a hidden valley on the outskirts of the imperial capital, there is a barracks.

In the largest tent in the camp, the lights were bright and the laughter continued.

Su Xiaochen ordered the soldiers to prepare some wine and meat, invited Xu Fu, a general with the army, to come over, and called Eagle Tail, Cao Xiwen and cousin Ye Yin to form a table and talk about wine.

Xu Fu had already changed his cold expression a few days ago, and as soon as the wine was served, he diligently poured a glass for Su Xiaochen.

"Master Su is worthy of being the master of Master Muyun, such a clever plan is really a thousand catties, haha!"

After speaking, he poured another cup for the eagle tail and praised: "Of course, it also depends on the ability of the eagle tail girl, she is really beautiful and handsome, so I am admired by Lao Xu Haosheng!" ”

Washio-tail smiled faintly and nodded slightly in thanks.

Cao Xiwen and Ye Yin had just entered the camp, and they didn't know the ins and outs, so they asked, "What kind of strategy is General Xu so full of praise?" ”

Xu Fu drank a cup of water, became interested, and said: "Oh, you don't know, this Master Su said that he was going to attack the city, but he didn't mean to send people to fight at all." I've lived most of my life, and I finally know the essence of a soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”

Cao Xiwen was itchy when he heard this, and poured another cup for him and said, "General Xu, talk about it quickly." ”

"In the first few days when I first arrived in the suburbs of the imperial capital, Mr. Su was really calm, he didn't do anything, just painted by himself, and one painting was three days, which made me anxious...... Later, he showed me that the things he drew turned out to be the emblems of small neighboring countries. I wondered, what to do with these paintings, but Master Su asked the tailors in the army to make all kinds of battle robes, military flags, and tattoo emblems. The first small state of the tattoo is called ...... What's it called? ”

Su Xiaochen smiled: "Dengyan Country." ”

"Yes, yes, Dengyan Country. It's a very awkward name, and I can't always remember it. After the tattoo, the eagle-tailed girl sneaked into the imperial capital with the battle robe of the Dengyan Kingdom, and she deliberately hid the place where Zheng Lun, the deputy commander of the Dragon Scale Army patrolling the city, could see, and looked at Zheng Lun in a daze, and then took the battle suit to find Ye Zhiqiu. ”

As soon as Ye Yin heard her father's name, she was about to ask a question, but was stopped by Su Xiaochen's look, obviously asking her not to show her identity, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the army.

Xu Fu didn't pay attention, and still said: "Then Zheng Lun doesn't recognize the emblem of this Dengyan Kingdom, but Ye Zhiqiu is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he is clear about this kind of thing, and he can recognize it at a glance." As a result, he wondered if it was the people of the Dengyan Kingdom who had infiltrated the city. ”

Cao Xiwen asked: "But with just a few battle robes and few people, what use can it be for Ye Lao Thief?" ”

Su Xiaochen heard Cao Xiwen call his uncle an old thief, although he knew his uncle's rebellious behavior, he was always uncomfortable and frowned.

Xu Fu said: "Young people, don't worry. Bachelor Su has drawn the emblems of eighteen small countries before and after, and the emblems of Dengyan Kingdom are only the first one. The next day, the eagle-tailed girl took the robe of Fufeng Kingdom and threw it into the well in the southern city of the imperial capital, and let Zheng Lun find it again. At this time, Ziye Zhiqiu was a little panicked, guessing if the Holy Lord had invited reinforcements from all the states to come over, and why did they come one after another. ”

Cao Xiwen thought for a while: "It's not strange to be so suspicious, but Brother Su has painted so much, if they all repeat their old tricks, I'm afraid that the old thief Ye won't believe it." And there are only a few battle robes, and there are not many people. ”

Xu Fu slapped his thigh and said loudly: "The magic is here, the emblems of the eighteen countries prepared by Master Su are not blindly thrown around." There are only a few pieces of Dengyan and Fufeng, but the emblems of those small countries in the back are not so dry. Belch...... Belch...... Master Su, I can't always remember the names of the other small countries, so it's better for you to say. ”

Su Xiaocheng smiled: "Okay, it's actually nothing, but it's just a change of some other tricks." My uncle was a careful man, and he was both well versed in foreign affairs and very good at pondering. So I'm going to count ......."
