In the Yushanguan camp, Fan Lining was a little restless in the past two days. There are all kinds of indications that the Qincha Shangguan Xuanwu has listed him as a key target of suspicion. Fan Lining knew very well in his heart that this matter would not be long in coming, and sooner or later it would be found out.

Fan Lining eagerly awaited the arrival of reinforcements from the northern battalion, as soon as the army arrived, Hu Weilin would definitely take over all the investigations. When the time comes, if you find a reason, you may launch a surprise attack on the Northern Ming army. During the war, he Fan Lining privately led his troops to kill the Beiming patrol soldiers, not only was it not a mistake, but it would become his military merit.

There were not many soldiers and horses in the large battalion, only less than 2,000 rounds of officers and soldiers. And most of these people are Fan Lining's descendants. The temporary truce of the Northern Ming Dynasty did not let Yushan Pass relax, and He Lianjia still sent heavy troops to guard the city.

In the Chinese army's account, Fan Lining was talking about Hu Weilin's reinforcements with his two centurions when he saw a small colonel running in.

"Report to the chief soldier, Lord Qin sent to the outside of the camp."

"Chincha?" Fan Lining stood up suddenly, what he was most afraid of hearing in the past two days was these two words.

"How many soldiers and horses did he bring?" Fan Lining asked.

"Lord Qincha only brought a dozen retinues, and he did not come with a guard of honor."

Hearing that there were only a dozen people, Fan Lining secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately gave an order, "Blow the assembly horn, and everyone will follow me out of the camp to greet Lord Qincha." ”

"No!" The colonel agreed and retreated.

As soon as the junior colonel left, Fan Lining looked at the two descendants and whispered, "Wait for you to wait outside the account with your brother, and if there is any situation, listen to my instructions." ”

The two centurions were involved in the attack on the Beiming patrolmen, but the two were still startled when they heard Fan Lining say this.

"Lord Commander, he is a messenger, you have to think about it." One of them said.

"Chincha? Hmph, don't forget that this is the border pass, a place where our brothers take their lives to guard. Don't be afraid, as long as our side is clean, there will be Lord Xiangguo to support you. When this is over, Lord Sokuni will ensure that we will be transferred to work near Kyoto. ”

Fan Lining cheered up the two subordinates, he now had no way back, so he could only give it a go. Although Fan Lining also regretted it a little, he didn't dare to disobey Yu Ban's instructions. Originally, the plan was very thorough, and at this time, Yushan Pass should be a genius in the war. Unexpectedly, the appearance of the envoy of the Northern Ming Dynasty and the negotiation of peace by the Qin Cha disrupted all the steps at once.

Outside the camp, Zhang Ruming raised the curtain and sat in the car, he could go in directly, but Zhang Ruming enjoyed this kind of grand welcome very much.

After a while, the horn sounded, and the originally peaceful Yushanguan camp suddenly became busy.

The camp gate was wide open, less than 2,000 people lined up, and Fan Lining greeted the camp in military uniform.

"The last general, Fan Lining, greets Lord Qincha."

Zhang Ruming nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Fan doesn't have to be polite, Lord Ben just came to see everyone, and by the way, I asked you something." The brothers are on duty day and night, so let's let everyone disperse. Zhang Ruming pretended to be generous and got out of the car slowly.

Fang Yan glanced at Zhang Ruming with disdain, and said in her heart that she would have to go in directly just now, why did she have to wait for others to assemble a team. Fang Yan felt very sorry for these soldiers, knowing that it was not easy for them to eat in order to make a living. Many of them stayed on the city wall last night, so there was no need to disturb everyone at all.

Zhang Ruming, accompanied by Fan Lining, came to the Chinese army's tent with some laughter. On the surface, everyone is happy, like friends they haven't seen for many years. But as soon as the two sides sat down, more than a dozen black-armored guards quickly stood up, and the Chinese army's big tent became their territory. Outside the big tent, there were more than 200 people lined up on both sides, as if guarding the big tent.

The two soldiers served tea, and Fan Lining smiled heartily, "Lord Qincha, there is no fruit to entertain in the camp, a cup of light tea, I hope your lordship will forgive me." ”

"General Fan doesn't have to be polite, Yushanguan is not very calm these days, so those false courtesies will be waived. There are a few things I want to ask about here. Zhang Ruming said straight to the point.

"Oh? I don't know what the adults are asking? Fan Lining's heart tightened.

"This official asks you, who else was present when you received Helianga's order that day?"

Zhang Ruming is now a member of the Sanpin, and the Qincha who holds the sword of Shang Fang does not take the small general soldier in his eyes at all. Therefore, Zhang Ruming has no scruples at all.

"My lord, with me that day, there was also Wei Zhengsi, a hundred households on the left side of the camp, and Zhang Bangkai from one hundred households in the scout camp, and the two of them can testify for the last general."

"Okay, call someone to send two people in, and the official will check it. You don't have to shy away from it, there are some things that you should confront face to face. ”

After Zhang Ruming finished speaking, Fan Lining's brows furrowed slightly, Zhang Ruming's attitude made him very unhappy, no matter how he said that he was also the No. 2 person in Yushan Guan, he actually used this tone to talk to him.

After a while, two hundred households walked in, Wei Zhengsi and Zhang Bangkai glanced at Fan Lining first, and then said with their fists clenched.

"The left cavalry camp is a hundred households, Wei Zhengsi, see the adults."

"Scout camp Zhang Bangkai see my lord."

Zhang Ruming nodded, "This official asks you, you two went out of the customs with General Fan that day, do you have He Lianjia's order?" ”

"Lord Hui, it is indeed an order given by Lord Guard." Wei Zhengsi said.

Zhang Ruming was just about to continue asking, but Fang Yan asked, "The garrison lord ordered to lead the troops out of the customs, can there be arrows and talismans?" ”

"This~." Wei Zhengsi looked at Fan Lining, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Then have you filed with the government clerk?"

"Didn't either?" Wei Zhengsi's face was a little ugly, he knew that with these two items, Fan Lining would be unable to escape the blame.

After Fang Yan asked, Zhang Ruming sneered, "Chief soldier Fan, I said how did you become a chief soldier?" Although he had never been in the military, he knew that these things were all basic common sense. If all the soldiers and horses in the world are like this to you, won't my Great Xia be in chaos. ”

Fan Lining's face was gloomy, and he was about to speak, but Zhang Bangkai said dissatisfiedly, "Lord Qincha, you are far away in Kyoto, and you don't know the suffering of the border soldiers. On that day, one of our brothers was innocently shot and killed, which has aroused the anger of the people in the army. What if we don't send troops to arrest the murderers and cause a mutiny in the army? Who is responsible. ”

"If a brother is shot, can he arouse the anger of the people in the army? Is your relationship so good? Zhang Ruming looked at Zhang Bangkai with a sneer.

"My brothers, of course, are like family. What's more, this is also about my Da Xia's face, and I think that the general soldier is doing the right thing. ”

"Right? That Lord Ben asked you, if there is a war, how many people will die in Yushan Pass? How many of the people in the city can still keep their homes? Who bears the blame for this. Zhang Ruming scolded angrily.

Fan Lining quietly gave Zhang Bangkai a look, which meant not to anger this Shangguan Qincha, as long as it could be delayed until the reinforcements arrived.

Fan Lining forced out a trace of an embarrassed smile, and said ashamedly, "Lord Qincha, it's all the fault of the last general." In fact, I have been reflecting on it for the past two days, if only I hadn't been so impulsive that day. In any case, all the responsibility lies with me. Otherwise, please give the last general two more days, and the last will write down the cause and effect clearly and present it to the adult, and then let the adult decide. ”

Fan Lining was ready to use delaying tactics, he calculated that reinforcements should have arrived a long time ago, even if it was slow, it should be in these two days. As long as it can be delayed, Yushan Pass will be decided by Hu Weilin and Shuai at that time.

Fang Yan didn't expect Fan Lining to take it on so simply, since she didn't hesitate to do this, she had to hurry up and let him sign the confession. Fang Yan quietly handed Zhang Ruming a color, which meant that Fan Lining would follow them to the mansion. Zhang Ruming comprehended and nodded slightly.

"General Fan, this is not as simple as reflection, this official must give Beiming an explanation, and even more so an answer to His Majesty. Now that you have admitted it, it is simple, please ask General Fan to return to the mansion with him and explain the problem clearly. Zhang Ruming said and stood up.

"This~!"

Fan Lining's face darkened, he could admit his mistake, but he must not be taken away like this. The camp is his territory, whatever you want. Once taken away by the Black Guards, the nature is different. At that point, it will be too late for him to try to control the situation.

"Why, after committing such a big crime, you still want to stay in the barracks and think about it? Mr. Fan, I don't have to give you an order to ask you to go, right? Zhang Ruming looked at Fan Lining with a gloomy face, and deliberately shook the Shang Fang sword in his arms.

Fan Lining gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that you asked for it, so don't blame me for being ruthless.

"Okay, then I will go to the government with my lord." After Fan Lining finished speaking, he quietly gave Zhang Bangkai and Wei Zhengsi a look.

Zhang Ruming glanced at the black armor guard arrogantly, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu's case was simply handled, he knew that he would have come directly to get someone two days ago, so why bother to investigate and investigate.

Fang Yan felt a little strange in her heart, Fan Lining belonged to the northern camp. Supposedly, even if he knew that the guilt would not escape, he should deny it for three points, so that the people of the northern battalion could deal with it. What's more, this is a big crime of killing the head, is Fan Lining really trying to avenge the dead brother? Fang Yan felt unlikely, there seemed to be some kind of conspiracy hidden in it.

Fang Yan followed everyone out of the big tent in confusion and came to the outside of the big tent, Fang Yan raised her eyes and swept her eyes, and her heart chuckled.

"Mr. Cui, take down Fan Lining!" Fang Yan shouted, and pulled out her weapon with a swoop.

Fang Yan grew up in the barracks with her father and knows everything in the army. The tent was full of people on both sides, and if they were ceremonial and vigilant, they would only wear swords and spears. But at this moment, the soldiers and horses on both sides are holding bows and crossbows in their hands. According to the laws of the Great Xia army, this is a suspicion of assassinating the main general. Unless ordered by the commander-in-chief of the army, no one is allowed to swim outside the tent of the Chinese army with a bow and crossbow. Now it's a good thing, with Qin Cha present, there are actually one or two hundred people holding bows and crossbows, and Fang Yan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Fang Yan's shout alarmed everyone, she was separated from Fan Lining by a Zhang Ruming, and Fang Yan had no choice but to deal with Zhang Bangkai beside her first.

Fan Lining has been on the horse for half his life, and he didn't expect that the off-the-books layout would be seen through by a little girl. Just when Cui Zhiliang was stunned, Fan Lining kicked away the black-armored guard beside him, and rolled on the spot to flash out of the encirclement of several people.

"Come on, Shangguan Xuanwu and others have fornicated with Beiming and want to frame my Yushan Pass soldiers. This general soldier has conclusive evidence, take them down for me! With Fan Lining's shout, the soldiers and horses on both sides surrounded him.

Wei Zhengsi has always been very cautious, as soon as Fan Lining made a move, he also knocked away the black armor guard beside him, pulled out his waist knife and flashed out. Zhang Bangkai was not so lucky, and was put on his neck by Fang Yan's sword before he could act.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you. I urge the total and protect adults. Fang Yan held Zhang Bangkai hostage and shouted to Cui Zhiliang.

"Be bold, frame the nine clans of Qinchazhulian, I will see who dares to do it." Cui Zhiliang is very experienced, first shocked everyone with words, and quickly came to Zhang Ruming's side.

Zhang Ruming was stupid, how could he have thought that Fan Lining would dare to take the crime of raiding his house and destroying the door, and he would actually take down him in the camp.

Cui Zhiliang took advantage of the brief moment when these soldiers were stunned, and shouted again, "The black armor guards form a formation to protect the adults and return to the big tent." ”

More than a dozen black-armored guards gathered around Zhang Ruming and quickly retreated.

Zhang Ruming, who was frightened, reacted at this time, and scolded angrily, "Lao Tzu is Qincha, Shang Fang's sword is here, do you want to be raided and destroyed." Now put down the bow and crossbow and take down the traitor Fan Lining, and this official can forgive you. Otherwise, none of you will survive. ”

Zhang Ruming also let go, pulled out Shang Fang's sword, and glared at the surrounding soldiers. Not to mention, Zhang Ruming's angry shouting actually made many people show timid eyes. After all, he is a Qincha, even if the military order is like a mountain, these soldiers have to weigh and weigh, and no one dares to shoot the first arrow. Fan Lining didn't look good, reached out and grabbed a bow and crossbow from the side, and pointed an arrow at Zhang Ruming.

"Kill me, the traitor who collaborates with the enemy, everyone will be punished."

Cui Zhiliang raised his knife to block an arrow, and quickly ordered people to retreat to the big tent. As soon as they entered the big tent, the black-armored guards on both sides raised their knives and cut the ties of the left and right curtains, and the curtains fell down to separate the inside and outside. The other black-armored guards quickly erected the desk and other objects to the door, ready to block the arrows outside.

Fan Lining was so angry that his soldiers were afraid of Qin Cha's official authority, and they lost a great opportunity to shoot in vain. Fan Lining was about to give the order to shoot arrows at the curtain of the big tent, but Wei Zhengsi hurriedly stopped him.

"My lord, Zhang Bangkai is still in their hands, and he can't be shot. Since you trapped them, let's take them down first. ”

Fan Lining's face was hideous, don't talk about Zhang Bangkai now, even if his father is in the hands of the other party, he can't take care of it. By this point, the net has been broken, and only by killing this Qincha, he may still have a way to live. Otherwise, Fan Lining knew what would be the outcome that awaited him.

According to Fan Lining's expectations, after killing Qincha, He Lianjia would definitely bring a large team of men to arrest him. Fan Lining had already thought of a countermeasure, so he said that Qin sent him to the camp to force him to rebel and cooperate with the Northern Ming army. He Lianjia would never dare to make decisions about such a big matter, so he could only wait for Hu Weilin, the commander of the reinforcements, to deal with it.

When the time comes, maybe Hu Weilin will be killed together with He Lianjia, and the responsibility for provoking the war will be put on his head. Anyway, the sky is high here, and the emperor is far away, and it will take more than half a month just to play the table back and forth. What's more, at that time, the war at Yushan Pass was already raging, and everything was decided by Hu Weilin.

Fan Lining's eyes were red, looking at the thick curtain that had just fallen from the big tent of the Chinese army, and the official knife in his hand was raised high. He has no way out, he must kill Shangguan Xuanwu to muddy the waters, only in this way can he have a glimmer of life.

"Everyone listens to the order, they dare to resist, and there is no mercy for killing!"
