On the official road thirty miles east of Liucheng, a big car slowly moved forward, the front and rear of the car were knights in black armor, under the cold moonlight, nearly 100 knights lined up strictly, carrying inky black horses, without a sound when marching, the whole team was like a real murder knife, looking simple and unpretentious, but in fact it was secretly murderous.

In the carriage, Hongyun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was holding the Tao Te Ching in his hand, but his mind was not on it, he suddenly looked at his colleague Yin Chenglin, who had been sitting quietly and drinking tea, put down the Tao Te Ching in his hand, sighed at him and said, "When it comes to the kung fu of qi cultivation, I am still not as good as you!" ”

"Each other, each other." Yin Chenglin put down the teacup and smiled, "You have to be calm when you drink tea, and you can taste the taste by being calm, I'm just drinking tea, it's the same as you pretending to read." ”

Hong Yun laughed, he and Yin Chenglin were both from a family, and the two were like-minded, they were not only very good friends, but also confidants who knew each other.

"You and I are on this trip, the Turks are fine, but the difficult thing is the matter of the Tuoba clan and the Murong clan." Yin Chenglin shook his head and said.

"Let them make trouble, it's a big trouble, our own ancestral party will come out to clean up the situation, you and I still don't have to get involved in these things!" Hong Yun said disappreciatively, filling the two of them with hot tea, "To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of armament, I would never follow the wishes of the cabinet." ”

"Actually, the meaning of the cabinet is not wrong, the two princes of the Turks, keep one and let the other, if they are disobedient in the future, they will help the one left behind to go back and grab the seat, so that they can have internal friction, which is much stronger than us going to fight them." Yin Chenglin took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Speaking of which, my Great Qin army is not as strong as before, if it had been thirty years ago, the Turks, hmph, would have been wiped out a long time ago." Hong Yun drank the tea in the cup, put down the teacup and said.

"Don't complain, the Beiting Protectorate is not easy to mess with, and the Turks will not have a good time." Glancing at his somewhat resentful friend, Yin Chenglin said, "Didn't they already send a note to the military hall, asking for the reopening of the border ban and allowing those small barbarian tribes to be annexed, as long as the cabinet allows it, I think it won't take three years, and the power of the Turks will be greatly reduced." ”

"It's a good move, though." Hong Yun frowned and said, "But it also needs the permission of the cabinet, if they don't agree to the invitation of the military hall, it will be just empty words." ”

"You're right, but I think there should be a way for the military hall." Yin Chenglin raised the teacup and said, the civil and military confrontation of the imperial dynasty has started since Taizong (Cao Ang), but it has always been the military hall that has faintly pressed the cabinet, until the last thirty years, there is no war in the world, and the cabinet has gradually surpassed the military hall, but behind the military hall is the major noble and noble doors at the time of the founding of the country, and the latent force is extremely strong.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those troubles." Hong Yun put down the teacup, took out a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces from the back of the carriage and said, "It's a long night, you and I should come to a game to relieve fatigue!" Inside the carriage, there was soon silence, and only the sound of the chess pieces falling on the board sounded.

At Liucheng Station, Li Ang sat on the edge of the bed, watched Yuan Luoshen and Huo Xiaoyu fall asleep, and then quietly got up, blew out the candle, and walked out of the room.

Under the cold moonlight, in the courtyard of the post station, looking at Li Ang who was coming, Feng Siniang and King Qiling, who had already arrived, looked at him together, "They are asleep." After knowing what happened to Yuan Luoshen and Huo Xiaoyu, King Qiling and Feng Siniang took pity on these two strong little girls.

"Asleep." Leon smiled and sat down at the stone table, "You two's injuries are fine, right?" ”

"It's fine." Feng Siniang replied, then looked at Li Ang, who had changed into a clean blue shirt, and said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm used to seeing the way you look when you kill people and fight, and I'm really a little unaccustomed to seeing you so gentle with those two children this time." ”

"Really!" Leon muttered to himself, then raised his head to look at the two of them and asked, "Let's talk about you first, what's going on with those men in black?" ”

King Qiling didn't answer, just looked at Feng Siniang. Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang, spread her hands, and told everything over again, "To be honest, the old lady just wanted to smash the gambling house at that time, but I didn't expect that bastard to be so ruthless." When it came to the man in fancy clothes, Feng Siniang was angry.

"Can you draw what that person looks like?" Li Ang frowned and said, he was very interested in the gambling house owner that Feng Siniang talked about.

"You asked the old lady to draw a portrait?" Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang and shook her head, "The old lady can't even write well, so you still ask him to draw it." ”

"I'll draw." King Qiling, who was pointed at by Feng Siniang, raised his head, asked people to take a pen and paper, and spread out the rice paper with the clear light under the moon, and drew the casino owner he had seen with a few strokes.

"I can't believe that you, a Uighur, can paint so well!" Looking at the vivid gambling house owner written by King Qiling, Feng Siniang couldn't help but praise.

"My mother is Han." King Qiling put the pen on the pen wash, glanced at Feng Siniang, and handed the painting to Li Ang.

"Well, I'll go find Lord Han." Taking the painting, Leon stood up and said.

"Looking for someone surnamed Han?" Thinking of the Han Baobao who always looked at her strangely, Feng Siniang frowned.

"Those men in black are not simple, do you think a gambling house owner will need a dead man who is not afraid of death?" Li Ang looked at Feng Siniang and asked rhetorically, and then walked out of the courtyard.

"You're smart." Looking at Li Ang's back, Feng Siniang stuck out her tongue and said, then she looked at King Qiling who stood up and was about to leave, and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Feng Siniang staring at him and smiling weirdly, King Qiling couldn't help frowning.

"You're a woman, aren't you?" Feng Siniang looked at King Qiling and said suddenly, then she stood up, looked at King Qiling who was stunned and inexplicable, and said, "It seems that the old lady is not wrong!" ”

"How do you know?" King Qiling calmed down, and she looked at Feng Siniang with a smug face and asked.

"Although the old lady is not a stunning beauty, the old lady is also confident that no man will disdain the old lady, even if she doesn't like the old lady, she will still look at it a few times." Feng Siniang looked at King Qiling and replied, "And you, since you first saw the old lady, you haven't looked at the old lady properly. ”

"Seriously, my mother was almost deceived by you." Feng Siniang looked at King Qiling, who was a full head and a half taller than herself, and sighed.

"Can you keep this secret for me?" King Qiling looked at Feng Siniang and said after hesitating for a while.

"The old lady is not a mouthy person." Feng Siniang smiled, and then said, "But the old lady really wants to see what you really look like under the mask." ”

"Is that a condition for you to keep a secret?" King Qiling looked at Feng Siniang, who was staring at his mask, and asked.

"Sort of!" Feng Siniang thought for a moment and replied.

King Qiling took off his mask and revealed his peerless face, only to see Feng Siniang stunned.

"You're so pretty, why are you wearing a mask?" Looking at King Qiling who put on the mask again, Feng Siniang couldn't help but shake her head and asked, "I thought you were an ugly monster, so you had to wear a mask and pretend to be a man!" ”

"My elder brother died when I was very young, and my father didn't want to cause civil strife in the Uighurs because he had no heir, so..." Isn't it... Like... He? ”

"Like him?" Feng Siniang was stunned by the question, and replied after a while, "Maybe, no, I think I do like him a little, and I should be just like you." ”

"Same as me?" King Qiling was a little surprised by Feng Siniang's answer.

"I can see that you like him too, maybe more than I do." Feng Siniang laughed, "A woman's intuition has always been very accurate. ”

"I'll keep your secret, but you can't always wear a mask like this." Feng Siniang turned around, "That Princess Tiele surnamed Xue, you have to find a way to solve it!" ”

Looking at the figure of Feng Siniang leaving, King Qiling stood alone in the courtyard and sighed faintly.
