Mingyue also became nervous in her heart: "The temple is crazy? Aren't you afraid of a war between Da Zhou and Nan Chu? ”

The third senior brother said: "Now you know that the problem is serious? You two, you are still swaggering to go shopping, who knows how many masters of the temple are lurking in Zhongshan City now? Mingyue, don't be complacent just because you're a ninth grade. ”

Originally, Tang Ning didn't feel any risk when he went south this time, because he felt that the temple didn't have time to make any moves, so he had already set off to return to Beijing.

But now that the pavilion master has put on such a big battle, then he has to be cautious.

Mingyue lowered her head a little embarrassed, and Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "The temple actually dispatched a black horseman, is it to attack the city?" ”

The third senior brother said in a deep voice: "It's not that this is not possible, although our Sword Pavilion disciples are not weak, but after all, they are not cavalry, and fighting on horseback is not a strength." ”

If it had been placed in the past, the third senior brother might not have thought so, but after the battle of the grassland, he realized the power of the formed cavalry, so he also had self-knowledge.

Tang Ning naturally understood this, the masters of the Sword Pavilion were powerful, but it was simply unrealistic to defeat three thousand black horses with these more than 100 Sword Pavilion disciples.

Therefore, Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "Zhongshan City is the ancestral land of the royal family, and it has always been guarded by five thousand soldiers and horses, but these five thousand soldiers and horses have no war all year round, and their combat power is worrying. ”

"The situation is urgent, and it's too late to train the troops, so it can only be used to defend the city! But how do you tell them, that the three thousand black horsemen of the temple are coming? Will they think I'm crazy? ”

The third senior brother and the others nodded silently, if Tang Ning went to tell the prefect and the three thousand black horsemen who commanded the envoy temple that they were likely to attack Zhongshan City, they would definitely think that Tang Ning was crazy.

Mingyue worried: "Then what should I do?" Of course, Mingyue is not afraid of fighting alone, but after experiencing the battle of the grassland, she has also seen the power of the cavalry, thinking about the three thousand cavalry in the temple, she does not have the confidence to protect Tang Ning to escape.

Tang Ning smiled: "Cold salad, let's not be frightened by the temple, no matter what, we have to give Zhao Yong and Liu Siwei a wake-up call first." ”

At this time, the guards in the palace had already noticed that Tang Ning and Mingyue were gone, and they were panicking, when Tang Ning and Mingyue suddenly appeared.

In addition to their great joy, they couldn't help but complain a little: "Your Highness, how can you get rid of us?" ”

Tang Ning hurriedly said: "I know, the situation is very urgent now, according to reliable information, it is very likely that our ancestor worship this time will not be peaceful!" Go, invite Zhao Yong and Liu Siwei! ”

Niu Lu hurriedly agreed and went. Originally, Zhao Yong and Liu Siwei decided to come to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and they came without hesitation when they heard the summons.

They thought that His Royal Highness the Prince had summoned them to inquire about worshipping their ancestors, but after hearing His Highness's words, they were stunned for a moment.

"Bandits coming?" Zhao Yong and Liu Siwei looked confused.

Liu Siwei was puzzled: "Your Highness, where did this news come from?" ”

Zhao Yong was also puzzled: "Your Highness, there are no bandits around here, Zhongshan City is the ancestral land of the royal family, how can the bandits be allowed to desecrate?" If there were bandits in the vicinity, the last general would have led troops to exterminate them a long time ago! ”

Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "It's the news sent by Jinyiwei to the palace, is this still fake?" ”

The two couldn't help but look at each other, there are indeed no bandits around here! Not to mention this area, there are no bandits within a radius of five hundred miles.

Even if there were, it was just a dozen or dozens of people gathered together in the green forest, what could they do?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there are really bandits, then they will not come to attack Zhongshan City, Zhongshan City has 5,000 defenders who are easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, this is a poor place and there is no oil and water.

And once the bandits attack Zhongshan City, it must be a major event that shocks the imperial court, and they will definitely gather heavy troops to come.

There is no benefit, the risk is still big, even if there are bandits, they will not come to attack Zhongshan City if their heads are kicked by a donkey!

Liu Siwei was puzzled: "Your Highness, I don't know where the bandit is, why didn't the lower official receive any warning?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Then Jinyiwei has left in a hurry after sending the news, but since Jinyiwei has sent the news, let's also be vigilant, right?" ”

"Lord Liu is preparing to defend the city, and General Zhao should also encourage the soldiers to be vigilant, especially at night, not to be careless."

"If this news is true, we can be considered prepared in advance, if this news is false, we have nothing to lose, so it is better to be cautious in the meaning of this palace."

Liu Siwei and Zhao Yong were still very puzzled in their hearts, after all, the Third Highness didn't have any substantive evidence, and they didn't even say where the bandits were, from which direction, and they didn't even see the Jinyi Guard who passed the word.

However, they didn't refute anything, because the Third Highness asked them to be vigilant, although it was a bit of a toss, but after all, it was not a big fanfare to defend the city.

The two hurriedly went down to prepare, but both of them were a little unimpressed.

The two left in a hurry, and Tang Ning could tell from the faces of the two that they didn't pay attention to it at all.

After lunch, Tang Ning left the palace with his guards and headed for Zhong Shanwei.

Fan Wencheng and the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites were a little confused, didn't they come to worship their ancestors? Why do you look like you're going to war?

Now that the Great Zhou is peaceful, where did the bandits come from? Everyone knows that His Royal Highness is a famous general, can His Highness put his mind into worshipping his ancestors?

Zhao Yong didn't take Tang Ning's words as a deaf ear, and after returning to the guard, he also summoned the generals and said that His Royal Highness was worried that there would be bandits attacking, so everyone was a little vigilant, especially when they were on duty at night.

A group of thousands of households and thousands of households laughed when they heard this, how can there be any bandits near Zhongshan City! Besides, even if there are bandits, will they dare to attack Zhongshan City?

Even if a bandit suffers from a madness and attacks Zhongshan City, will they still be afraid of the bandits?

Zhao Yong patted the table and said, "What are you laughing at?" Since His Highness has spoken, you can't turn a deaf ear, you have to say it, and the brothers who have been guarding the city have cheered up recently, don't let Your Highness trouble your own official. ”

I don't know where the news of the Third Highness got it, but they all say that the Third Highness is a famous general, which is too cautious, right?

The generals agreed, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts, and went back and ordered the hundred households.

Although the words went on, the atmosphere in the guard did not change in the slightest, whether it was a thousand households or a hundred households, they didn't go to their hearts at all, even Zhao Yong himself didn't go to his heart.

Tang Ning and his guards were already on their way to the guard.
