The north wind howled and the rain poured down. Everything in the field was blurred, and even Jimo City, which was already clearly visible, was completely submerged in the endless wind and rain.

From a distance, only the tall arrow tower and the purple flag on the arrow tower are faintly visible, becoming the only sign of the army's advance.

The army rushed down the official road, and the heavy rain washed away the footprints of pedestrians, and the rain and mud turned into mud.

The march of the army suddenly became extremely slow. The army is surging, and it is not the weather for marching.

……

Tian Heng was riding on a horse, and his eyes were wet from the heavy rain. He knew in his heart that the heavy rain was raging at this time, and he should not have continued to march.

It's just that the merchants and pedestrians on the official road have already hurried away, and this march has the advantage of hiding their tracks.

At this moment, Tian Heng saw a glimmer of light from the heavy rain. The army drove outside Jimo City, and the rain poured down, which was the opportunity given to him by God.

"Command the army, hold on!" Tian Heng's eyes were like torches: "As long as we hold on until dark, our army can enter Jimo and hold a banquet." ”

"When I return to Linzi, I will personally ask for credit for you!"

Tian Heng has learned the situation of being cautious, and naturally knows that reward and punishment are the criterion. Only official titles can make people die, and only money and beauty can win people's hearts.

Therefore, at the critical moment when the heavy rain was pouring down and the army was advancing, Tian Heng immediately made a heavy promise. He knew that the heavy rain was pouring down, and it was the time when the defense of Jimo City was the weakest.

And this is also the time to meet Han Lei, with a big event, there is no way back. Because of this, Tian Heng held his breath in his heart and ordered the army to march in the rain.

……

To the south of the central main street, there is a long east-west street, which is the base camp of the Jisumida clan. There is a particularly prominent mansion here, standing majestically in the middle of the long streets and alleys.

The red walls and green tiles, the high-gate mansion, all no longer show the strength of the owner of the mansion and the unparalleled power in Jimo City.

The rain was pouring down, and there were no pedestrians on the long street, as deserted as ever. The raindrops fell on the bluestone slabs and fell into flowers, showing the vicissitudes of time in this ancient mottled long street.

Two swordsmen in Tsing Yi escorted a dilapidated bronze chariot to the road. Han Lei in the car had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he was quite unpleasant.

From the moment he stepped out of the Jimo Palace, his life entered the countdown. Once the king of Jiaodong noticed his deeds, he would definitely kill people.

Standing on top of the car, Han Lei naturally knew where he was going this time and the huge risks he would face next. Standing in the car, my mind was tumbling for a while, and I was speechless for a long time.

According to his agreement with Tian Heng, tonight's fifth watch is the time when the army enters Jimo and changes the dynasty. At this time, the heavy rain poured down, which cast a shadow on Han Lei's heart.

The thought flickered, and Han Lei listened to the car and drove towards Tianfu. When I arrived at the carriage racecourse, the car did not stop, and drove directly into the west gate and entered the quiet cross-courtyard.

The swordsman in Tsing Yi jumped out of the car in front of the stone gate across the courtyard, bowed his hand to Han Lei, and said, "Tianfu has arrived, sir, please get out of the car-"

When he first entered Jimo, Han Lei had already submitted a prayer post and made an appointment with the patriarch of the Jisutian clan. With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Han Lei jumped out of the car.

The swordsman in Tsing Yi showed a token to the steward standing in front of the stone gate. After a closer look, the butler took a step back with a solemn face and made way for the road.

The Tsing Yi swordsman waved his hand and led Han Lei and the two into the quiet courtyard. Heavy rain poured down, falling on the bluestone slabs to form a chaotic noise of five chapters.

At this moment, Han Lei's mood was far more uneasy than this chaotic noise. That is, the attitude of the Sumida clan determines the success or failure of this operation.

The two of them braved the rain to cross the corridor and came to the courtyard under the pillars of the main house, and the swordsman in Tsing Yi bowed solemnly and reported loudly, "Report to the patriarch, the prime minister's special envoy Han Lei brought to——"

"Guests stay, wait and retreat!" An old voice came from the room, and the swordsman in Tsing Yi nodded and strode away.

At the same time, a big laugh sounded in the room again: "The envoy met with the old man, I don't know why?" Just say yes! ”

Sensing the old man's neglect, Han Lei smiled indifferently and said, "After the patriarch royal family, there has been a heritage for more than a hundred years, and there is no room to entertain guests?" ”

"Haha......" The old man laughed again: "I don't dare to be the queen family, in this year, the queen is everywhere, it can be said that the most worthless is the queen of the royal family." ”

As he spoke, he opened the door, bowed his hand to Han Lei, and said, "Special envoy, please come in—" and took the lead into the candlelit main room.

In the middle of the main room is a delicate small hall, surrounded by bamboo slips, the sword frame is neutral, and the two long tables have been placed on the Dingjue wine and meat, waiting for the vacancy.

Tian Qing smiled heartily and said, "Special envoy, please take a seat, you and I are here to discuss in detail." ”

"Patriarch, please—" Han Lei returned the salute, and he sat down in the guest seat in the south without speaking.

At the same time, Tian Qing sat on the north side, smiled, and said, "The envoy came from afar, and the old man was disappointed." Come, do a jue first to show the old man's heart. ”

"Dry ——!"

Han Lei smiled indifferently, and the two drank it all. At this moment, Han Lei was very anxious, but he didn't show any signs on his face.

He knew whether Tian Heng could enter the city quietly in the middle of the night, it was all on the old man in front of him.

Just when Han Lei's mind was overflowing, it was extremely complicated. Tian Qing sighed and said, "Special envoy, you just came to Jimo and threw a prayer post, I don't know what the prime minister commanded?" ”

"The old man is dizzy, and he is already in his twilight years. If the prime minister orders, the old man will do his best to help! ”

With a sigh in his heart, Han Lei smiled slightly. There is a way that people become old and refined, and they are talking about people like Tian Qing who are old and strong.

Although his beard is white, he also has insight into current affairs, can attack and retreat, and is invincible.

In this troubled era, the business family continues to grow. Such an old man, with his mind and chest, is far from being comparable to ordinary young people.

If Tian Qing's old eyes were dizzy, I am afraid that the Motian clan would have been carved up and swallowed up long ago, and how could there be today's prosperous situation.

After being silent for a long time, Han Lei smiled and said: "In the next time, the prime minister has his own plan, Han Lei is inconvenient to reveal, and I hope that the patriarch Haihan!" ”

However, when he came to Jimo, the prime minister praised the patriarch Gao Fengliangjie. Tian Mo, the grandson of the patriarch of the Jiuwen clan, is the year of the weak crown. ”

"Talented, rich in learning. If you want to give knights, marquises, and officials for reuse, let me ask the patriarch for convenience, I don't know if the patriarch is willing to release people? ”

"Good!" Shooting the case, Tian Qing laughed loudly and said: "It is worthy of being the prime minister, and doing things is the atmosphere!" ”

Speaking of this, Tian Qing stared at Han Lei word by word, and said, "Since the prime minister loves the old man so much, he values Mo'er." The envoy is here, and if there is any difficulty, he can tell him. ”
