Liu Tao heard Tong Guan say this, and knew that Tong Guan hated the two of them, Master Dao and Xin Xingzong, and was about to defend the two of them, but Tong Guan asked again: "But I don't know where the fierce general under Liu Tiju is?" What is the position of the official? Seeing Tong Guan asking, Liu Tao hurriedly replied to Tong Guan: "This person is a dare soldier I recruited in Xiangzhou, surnamed Yue Mingfei, the word Pengju, twenty years old, and the current captain of the dare team." Tong Guan nodded and said, "Now is the time for the soldiers to use their lives, and everyone must not be enthusiastic." If you make another contribution, you can sponsor the letter of the letter, which is a good minister recommended by the court. ”

Liu Tao hurriedly got up and thanked Tong Guan. Yue Fei can be sponsored as a supplementary letter lang, although he is the lowest level in the military attache rank, but he must be officially canonized by the imperial court before he is recognized, and this kid can be regarded as a step to the sky.

After thinking about it, Liu Tao cautiously asked Tong Guan: "Now that the Liao army has retreated, the heavy rain is like a note, and the soldiers are tired from running and working, can they enter the city to repair?" ”

Under Tong Guan's sparse eyebrows, he glared out with a gloomy gaze, and said after a while: "The Liao army has just withdrawn, do you know if it will come back?" And after the investigation is clear, then order the army to enter the city for repairs. ”

Liu Tao sighed secretly, bowed to Tong Guan and retreated, turned around and walked out of the lobby, looking at the pouring rain outside, there was still no intention of stopping, even if Xuan Shuai ordered, he could only do it, but he suffered these soldiers who sacrificed their lives to fight hard.

In the lobby, Tong Guan muttered for a long time, he had worked hard all his life to accumulate merit to the Duke of Chu, seeing that the national situation of the Liao State had gone, he commanded 100,000 troops to attack Liao, and the 16 states of Youyun were at his fingertips, but he never thought that 100,000 horses and horses were beaten by 30,000 horses of the Liao State and abandoned their armor, and they were chased to the door of the house. Seeing that he was only half a step away from being crowned king with a mutilated body, he was corrupted by the two of Seed Master Dao and Xin Xingzong.

Although the master Dao and Xin Xingzong are hateful, if they want to report it truthfully like this, it will definitely cause displeasure to the officials. Maybe Cai Jing and his ilk will make waves. If you don't report it truthfully, you will be suspected of bullying the king. Tong Guan finally made up his mind: he reported that the master did his own thing, did not obey the order, and the army retreated to Xiongzhou. Fortunately, he had another surprise army and repelled the Liao army. For the rest, let's wait for the situation to change.

Zhou Nan quickly took Zuo Xiaosi to the independent courtyard, the surroundings were silent, Zhou Nan asked Zuo Xiaosi to climb the courtyard wall to see the situation inside. Zuo Xiaosi circled around the courtyard, there was not even a tree around the courtyard wall, Zuo Xiaosi worked hard with his hands and feet, supported two walls in the narrow alleyway and climbed the courtyard wall, leaning down and looking inward.

That's why Zhou Nan wants to bring Zuo Xiaosi here. In just a few months of practice, Gao Yuan and Zuo Xiaosi are already very different. If you talk about offense and defense, Gao Yuan is naturally the best choice; If it is said that the volt is low and high, and the stalking sneaks in, etc., Zuo Xiaosi is more suitable than Gao Yuan. This is just because everyone has different talents and different characteristics, and Zhou Nan has today's results due to the situation.

Zuo Xiaosi watched for a while, and after crawling silently along the courtyard wall like a gecko for a while, he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Zhou Nan waited patiently outside, watching the situation around him.

After a while, Zuo Xiaosi walked over from the other end of the alley, and the two walked away from the yard a few steps, and Zuo Xiaosi whispered: "I have already explored the inside and outside of this courtyard." In the courtyard are three main houses, there is an ear room on the east and west sides, and the back of the main house is a foot away from the wall, and you can climb up the courtyard wall from the back wall. ”

Zhou Nan asked Zuo Xiaosi: "Did you enter the courtyard just now?" How many people are inside? ”

Zuo Xiaosi nodded, gestured and said: "In the middle of the main house, the lights are on, and there are two Khitan men talking inside, saying that when Ah Liu comes back, I don't know how Lord Pu Da will order Hu Dugu to act after reporting to General Yu Dugu, and the other man said that Hu Dugu has been a guard in the princess's mansion for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it." The other said that whatever princess he is, General Yu Dugu issued a strict order to obtain the princess's seal, otherwise, you, me, and Ah Liu will all be executed. Later, the two of them stopped talking. And I came out. ”

Zhou Nan asked Zuo Xiaosi rhetorically: "Tell me, what is the purpose of these words?" ”

Zuo Xiaosi knew that Zhou Nan was testing himself, so he immediately teased and said: "Of course, there are only three people here, one of them is the person who went out of the city as you said, Dalang, presumably he went out of the city to find some Pu Da, and the top of Pu Da is Yu Dugu; This group mastered Hu Dugu, the guard of the princess's mansion; They want to get the seal of the princess. Dalang, you say but? ”

Zhou Nan asked again: "That's all?" ”

Zuo Xiaosi was puzzled: "Is there something else?" ”

Zhou Nan asked, "Which princess is the princess?" Who are Pu Da and Yu Dugu? What are they going to do if they want the princess to seal the letter? Since these two people are Khitans, why do they dare to murder the princess? ”

Zuo Xiaosi shook his head and asked, "Da Lang, tell me, why are these people eyeing the princess seal?" ”

Zhou Nan confessed: "I only know that this Hu Dugu should be the head of the guards in the princess's mansion of Shu Kingdom, the person who went to the cottage last year to send me and Gao Ge money and food, this princess must be the princess of Shu Kingdom, they dare to murder the princess, naturally because the Great Liao Kingdom is in decline, naturally no one will fear the royal family." As for the rest, I don't know. ”

Zuo Xiaosi said: "Then do we still have to guard here?" Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "No need." The people in here will not come forward, as long as we find Hu Dugu and stare at him secretly, we will naturally know what they are going to do. If you stare at this, you will miss the opportunity and know nothing. ”

Zhou Nan got up and took Zuo Xiaosi to go back to the restaurant, Zuo Xiaosi said, "Da Lang, do you need to clean up these two people?" ”

Zhou Nanzhao knocked on Zuo Xiaosi's head, and scolded with a smile: "Why is it the same as your big brother, you either fight or kill when you open and close?" Wouldn't killing a snake startle a snake? Rest assured, they won't run. ”

Back at the restaurant, the restaurant had already closed its door, and the two secretly came in over the wall, and the servants in the courtyard had already slept, and everyone found out. Takato was still sitting in the room waiting for them. As soon as the three of them met, Zhou Nan told Gao Yuan about what he had just found in the courtyard. Gao Yuan heard that it might be related to Hu Dugu, the princess of Shu and the leader of the guards, who met them in the mountains last year, and he was also interested. The three of them deliberated and decided to go to Hudugu's residence the next day to see how the head of the guard was plotting to kill his master.

In Zhou Nan's impression, history records that the princess of Shu was captured by the Jin people when she fled with Emperor Tianzuo, could it be Hu Dugu, who had the same name? Or is there an error in the historical record? Zhou Nan was also a little uncertain.
