On the official road in the northwest, Duan Lang and the others moved forward slowly. At this time, the team seemed quite deserted, except for the eighteen guards and two chariots, there was no one left.

Fang Jiye accepted Duan Lang's persuasion and agreed to become a supporter of the Seventh Prince Delong. However, Fang Jiye must see the sincerity of Ma Ruzheng, the northern battalion. For this reason, the Seventh Prince Dezhang did not follow back to Lidu City, but ran directly north in the direction of Yushan Pass. As for the people from the Xining Hou Mansion, they left Landu City early.

Inside the car, Mingyue leaned lazily on Duan Lang, she really wanted to rely on it for the rest of her life. Fang Yan didn't come together, and when Duan Lang proposed to take Fang Yan back to the capital, Fang Jiye didn't agree to anything. Duan Lang can ignore the severity, and he still has to take care of the old face. The daughter was taken away before she got married, and that didn't become a laughing stock in the army. What's more, the situation in Kyoto is undecided, and Duan Lang and they still have a lot of things to do.

Fang Yan is not easy to insist on, if the two are not engaged, she can follow Duan Lang to Lidu City for a few days without any scruples. But now that she is engaged, she is embarrassed to follow.

Duan Lang left a harrier eagle for Fang Yan, and in the past few months, the harrier eagle has been trained by Da Fei to be very obedient, not only to facilitate the exchange of letters, but also to inform Fang Jiye in time if there is any situation in the capital city.

Inside the car, the two of them were afraid of each other and were immersed in happiness.

"Yue'er, when the Seventh Prince Delong ascends the throne, it will be the time for Yu Ban Lao'er to return. When I take revenge, I will go to Beiming to propose to the lord of the country. Duan Lang stroked Mingyue's hair and said softly.

"Brother Duan, do you really want to assist Delong in ascending to the throne?" Mingyue looked up at Duan Lang.

"This is the best choice, if Dezhang is in power, it will only become a three-legged situation. Even if it is for my Duan family, I will support Delong. ”

"If you really want to talk about hatred, Emperor Yuning is the first to bear the brunt, don't you hate him?" Yutai Mingyue suddenly asked.

Duan Lang was stunned for a moment and sighed, "One will succeed for eternity, let alone the emperor." I should have hated him, and even said that I had a chance to kill these two people in the Forbidden Mansion. However, if Emperor Yuning is assassinated, the world will be in chaos. When the time comes, the flames of war will be raging everywhere, and I don't know how many people will bury new hatred. ”

Tantai Mingyue sat up and looked at Duan Lang with a pair of beautiful blue eyes, "Brother Duan, have you ever thought about becoming the emperor by yourself?" ”

Duan Lang was stunned, "Uh~!" Are you kidding. ”

"I'm not kidding, in fact, your potential strength is not weaker than that of either side. Fang Jiye's soldiers and horses, plus the army of your capital city, are enough to pit any invading enemy. In addition, don't forget that there is also my Beiming, who is also your strong backing. ”

Duan Lang suddenly smiled and said, "I don't have such a big ability, I can raise you and Fang Yan for nothing, I will be satisfied." ”

"Go, I don't want to be fat." Tantai Mingyue glared coquettishly, since Duan Lang didn't have the idea of hegemony, Tantai Mingyue didn't continue to discuss.

The group walked for a few days and returned to the capital city. In the past few days, Li Jianshan has been in a hurry, and seeing Tongwen from Kyoto really scared him a lot. Unexpectedly, Daxia Kyoto had just been stable for a few months, and Emperor Yuning suddenly died. If Prince Dezhang ascended the throne, Li Jianshan knew that Yu Ban would never let Shangguan Xuanwu go. It is even said that these people will be unlucky.

In the palace, Li Jianshan looked at Zhang Ruming and Duan Lang anxiously, but found that the two of them seemed to be fine, and they didn't look anxious at all.

"What's the matter, the sky is about to fall, and you two are not in a hurry at all?" Li Jianshan asked strangely.

Zhang Ruming snorted nonchalantly, "What's the use of being in a hurry, a living person can't let urine suffocate to death." Besides, it is not a big deal for Dezhang to ascend the throne, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, anyway, the capital city is our one-third of an acre, and no one can grab it. ”

"What you said sounded good, no matter how powerful the 30,000 soldiers and horses were, could they still compete with the Kyoto battalion?"

Duan Lang smiled slightly, "What about the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Battalion?" ”

Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang, "Brother Duan, you don't have a fever, right?" ”

Zhang Ruming smiled, "Jianshan, he doesn't have a fever, he is now Fang Jiye's future son-in-law." You tell me, when the time comes, when the time comes, whether Fang Jiye will help his son-in-law or help Dezhang. ”

Li Jianshan was stunned and looked at Duan Lang in amazement. Due to the closed news, Li Jianshan did not know the news of Duan Lang and Fang Yan's engagement. Zhang Ruming couldn't help but talk about the cause and effect, and he didn't even hide the news of Fang Jiye's alliance with the Northern Daying. Duan Lang didn't complain that Zhang Ruming was open-mouthed, and in his eyes, he had already listed Li Jianshan as his own.

Li Jianshan looked at the two of them in surprise, he could finally let go of the nervous mood for a few days, he really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh a few times. Since Yushanguan chose to join the Heavenly Master Palace, Li Jianshan is not without his own little abacus. He knew that as soon as Emperor Yuning died, the Investigation Division would also follow Emperor Yuning and disappear. chose the Heavenly Master Hall to leave a way back for himself. But by now, Li Jianshan had completely regarded himself as a member of the Heavenly Master Palace. And for him, the Heavenly Master Hall is no longer a yamen, but more like a warm group. Everyone looks out for each other and protects all the interests of this group.

There must be a big event, everyone is at ease, and the changes in Kyoto have not caused any waves in the capital city. Duan Lang continued to train frantically, while Li Jianshan tried his best to raise the treasury silver in order to fill the big hole on Duan Lang's side.

A few days later, the backyard of the blacksmith shop in the capital city was full of people. These people had solemn expressions and firmness in their eyes. Duan Lang looked at these mighty men with relief, turned to Zhou Guangji and said.

"Uncle Zhou, these fifty people are all the elite of the Zhou Wu Scout Camp, they are definitely reliable brothers, and their backgrounds are all innocent. Now that I have handed them over to you, these brothers will be the new Shadow Bearers. ”

Zhou Guangji's happy face wrinkled with a smile like a flower, looked at Han Feng and Tangtai Mingyue beside him, and said excitedly.

"Xiao Qi, I didn't expect that one day, the land of Great Xia would still allow the shadow to take root and sprout. After the Duan Gate is there, the spirit of the old lord in the sky can rest in peace. ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang and said happily, "Brother Duan, I have discussed with my master and uncle, and I will hand over all the secret stations set up by my Beiming in the Great Xia to my master and uncle. From now on, whether it is a secret station or a shadow person, you will become your loyal followers. Tantai Mingyue said, winking at Duan Lang, which means that it is not time to reward me.

Han Feng also followed, "Duan Lang, the stall is spread, and it also needs silver taels to maintain." Over the years, I have saved some coffin books in Beiming, and I turned around and handed them over to the third brother through the secret station. If it's not enough in terms of operation, I'll find a way. ”

"Uncle Seven, how can this work, I'll figure out a way for the silver." Duan Lang hurriedly refused.

"It's all a family, don't be polite with Uncle Seven." Han Feng said heartily.

Zhou Guang remembered that he didn't refuse, after all, it took a large number of silver taels to start the secret stations in various places. If there is a lack of silver taels, even if there is someone in hand, it will not be able to carry out the work of the secret station.

Zhou Guangji ordered Zhou Zhu to take these brothers to a secret training camp in the western suburbs, let them undergo a month of basic training for Shadow Artists, and then send them to various places to establish Shadow Secret Stations.

Unconsciously, Duan Lang had been back for nearly twenty days, and after Han Feng and Zhou Guangji had dealt with some necessary things, Tantai Mingyue understood that it was time for him to go back to Beiming. Although I am extremely reluctant in my heart, I still have to separate in the end.

Outside the capital, Duan Lang had already sent more than thirty miles, if Mingyue's identity was not a princess, he really wanted to force her to stay.

"Yue'er, wait for me, it won't be long before I go to Beiming to pick you up." Duan Lang hugged and kissed the moon and said softly.

"Brother Duan, the situation in Great Xia is unstable, you have to take care of yourself. Don't worry, if it's nothing big after I go back, I'll come back again. Yutai Mingyue responded with a forced smile.

"Write to me more, and tell me in time if there is any situation in Beiming."

"Well, there are Da Fei and Harrier Eagle Xiaobai, I will write to you every day."

After Tantai Mingyue finished speaking, she took a few steps back slightly, waved her hand at Duan Lang, and turned around and got into the car. The moment she entered the car, Tantai Mingyue couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Let's go!" Yutai Mingyue choked up and ordered. She didn't know when she would see Duan Lang again after leaving. In these chaotic times, it may even be said that this may be an eternal parting.

Duan Lang didn't follow any further, and watched the team disappear from his eyes before Duan Lang looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. This kind of separation made him very uncomfortable, but Duan Lang knew that there were many things to face next. It was even said that Duan Lang had already smelled a hint of war.

In the capital, the people are still living a peaceful life. Li Jianshan promulgated a series of government decrees, so that the trade caravans in various places have benefited, and many large commercial houses have set up branches in the capital city. In the past few months, the capital city has gradually evolved from a caravan transit point to a distribution center and trading field. Duan Lang didn't care about the changes in the city at all, his responsibility was to train hard and train the troops. There are constantly new people joining the army, and there are also people who are constantly being eliminated.

Prosperity attracts crowds of people, and unconsciously, the capital city has more than doubled its tax revenue in the government than before. Looking at the constantly filling treasury silver, Zhang Rumingle's mouth couldn't close. In the bustling capital city, there are also all kinds of eyeliner. Bai Ruokong specially left a team of people, and he was watching every move of the government all the time. It was in this peaceful and prosperous atmosphere that the arrival of a team broke the tranquility of the capital city.

Outside the capital city, Yang Hua rode on a horse and looked at the endless caravan vendors, and his mind was also full of fantasies. All this is about to belong to him, to be a mansion in such a wealthy place, Yang Hua seems to see white flowers and silver in his eyes.

"Stop, who came to the capital, is there an official ultimatum?" A city guard stood in the middle of the road and stopped Yang Hua's team.

"Bold, this is Lord Yin, the capital of the newcomer, don't hurry up and notify the officials in the city to come out to greet you." One of the generals in Yang Hua's team shouted arrogantly.

Above the city gate, a hundred households heard this, and his heart suddenly moved, and he quietly commanded a few times.

Under the city gate, the guards of the city said disdainfully, "No matter who you are, take out the official ultimatum, otherwise you will all dismount and hand over your weapons for interrogation." ”

"What did you say?" Yang Hua's general always looked at the city defense guards in front of him strangely, and said in his heart Is this kid crazy, the new Fu Yin has arrived, and he still dares to say this.

The city guards didn't pay attention to him at all, and when they turned around and waved their hands, a lot of heads were revealed on the top of the city. Everyone was armed with bows and crossbows and aimed at Yang Hua and his party.

At this time, the hundred households in the city just now came over and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

"Bold, we are protecting Lord Yin Yang, the new governor of Lidu City, to take office, do you dare to take an arrow at your lord, do you want to find death." Put the total angry.

Yang Hua's face was not good-looking, but in the face of the city gate guards, he felt that one general was enough, and he didn't have to come forward himself, which would also damage his identity and official authority.

The hundred households of the city defense said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We only know that the Lord of Lidu City is Shangguan Heavenly Master, and we have never heard of Lord Yang below." Recently, there have often been rogues pretending to be officers and soldiers, and you should immediately come up with an ultimatum for the officials, otherwise, you will dismount and be interrogated. ”

"Daring, you are looking for death!" The total angrily pulled out the waist knife.

"Take back the knife to Lao Tzu, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for not giving it to you." There was a hint of fierceness in Baihu's eyes.

Yang Hua was also enraged, and said angrily, "So bold, take this person down for me." ”

The general said yes and was about to do it. At this moment, I only heard a 'whoosh' sound, poof~ a sharp arrow shot through the throat of the general. The unlucky boss stared and shook his eyes, and fell off his horse.

Yang Hua was taken aback, and the guards around him pulled out their waist knives one after another. The hundred households of the city defense shouted angrily, "Give you three breaths of time, put down your blades, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”

Yang Hua suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he was wearing the official mansion of a four-rank master, even the Kyoto city guards did not dare to do this. But the guards on the city wall in front of him were holding bows and crossbows with fierce eyes, as if they didn't see his gorgeous official mansion in their eyes at all.

Sou! The sound of the bell ~ a sharp arrow shot in front of Yang Hua's horse. Yang Hua experienced this kind of scene, and suddenly his body softened, and he fell down with a pop!
