On the northwest road, Duan Lang led the army to return to Xiadu Mansion. This attack on Landu City left Duan Lang with a little regret in his heart. Lu Mu had already returned to the capital of Xiyue a few days ahead of schedule, and missed a great opportunity to kill Lu Mu.

When the army of Lidu City appeared in the city of Landu, only the general Zheng Bi was stationed in the city. However, Zheng Bi did not organize a rebellion, but jumped out of the Landu City with the remnants and joined Sun Laicheng, the Manchu war in the defense of the Two Realms Mountain. In the face of the two realms of the mountains and heavens, Duan Lang had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn.

Duan Lang's army was not slow, and the team soon came to the lower pass. Behind the army, there were seven or eight more special convoys, all of which were loaded with flying feathers domesticated by Zhou Guangji in recent years. This time back, Duan Lang asked Zhou Guang to write down the mountain and prepare to set up the news hub in Chengyang Mansion. After the war ended, there was no need for Zhou Guangji to stay in Fengluan Mountain. But his father-in-law Zhang Zongcheng did not follow, he was used to the mountains and forests, and Da Xiong did not want to leave Fengluan Mountain. Duan Lang didn't force it, he was ready to pick up his father down the mountain to enjoy the blessings after he was completely settled.

The soldiers and horses stayed at the lower pass for a day, and the Mingyue looked at Duan Lang and asked softly, "Lang, do you want to stop by to visit Delong?" ”

It's very close to Kyoto, and the meaning of the moon is very clear, that is, to take Kyoto easily. Now that keeping the Zhao family's royal family has become an obstacle to Great Xia, she believes that Kyoto has no strength to compete with the Duan family's army.

Duan Lang shook his head, "The Zhao family's royal family's stay or stay should be left to those officials from various cities to discuss." Yue'er, you bring the soldiers and horses back first, I want to go to Jingji Mountain. ”

Tantai Mingyue was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want me to go with you, no matter what, I am the daughter-in-law of the Duan family, and I should also go to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Duan family." ”

Duan Lang thought for a while, "It's okay, then let Xusheng lead the people first, and it is estimated that in three days, we will be able to catch up with them." ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he came to the side of the car where Zhou Guangji was riding. Knowing that Duan Lang was going to worship the old commander Duan Tianya, Zhou Guangji insisted on following. Duan Lang was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to hand over the army to Liu Xusheng and others, and only took eighteen personal guards, and everyone left the army and went to Jingji Mountain.

The lower pass is not far from Jingji Mountain, and when Duan Lang and others came to this once glorious ancestral house of the Duan family, the barren grass had drowned out the glory of the past. Facing the broken wall, Zhou Guangji threw away his crutches and fell to the ground tremblingly.

"Old Commander, old brothers, Ghost Guard Zhou Guangji~ I see you are here. The young master has lived up to the bloodline of the Duan family, and the current young master has surpassed the glory of your old master. Old master, you can rest in peace. ”

Zhou Guangji's eyes were moist, and when he saw these broken walls, he seemed to suddenly return to the days of secret training here. More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, but only he and Han Feng are the old people of the year. But now that the young master has dominated the world, the suffering he suffered back then can be regarded as being rewarded.

Gu Fan waved a long knife at the sky and the others to clear a path. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue came to the front of the clothed mound, and on the stone tablet engraved with the enemy's family, the names of all the enemies who destroyed the Duan family back then were on it. Only in the bottom row, Duan Lang still has the biggest Duan family enemy not engraved on it. Because although that person left, he was not killed by Duan Lang, he was the Emperor of Great Xia ~ Emperor Yuning, who ordered the extermination of the Shadow Collector back then.

Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue knelt on the ground, Duan Lang looked at the mound and said softly, "Grandfather, listed as an uncle, as well as the kindness of parents, Duan Lang, an unfilial descendant, has come to worship you with the daughter-in-law of the Duan family." ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, the husband and wife solemnly kowtowed, and Duan Lang continued, "The people who destroyed my Duan clan back then have all been eradicated. Although Emperor Yuning did not die in the hands of Duan Lang, the Zhao family has been completely eradicated by his sons. Emperor Yuning destroyed my Duan family, and I cut off his Zhao family. Heavenly Principle shows the cycle of retribution, all the ancestors of kindness, you can turn a blind eye. ”

After Duan Lang and Tantai Mingyue finished worshipping, Duan Lang took out his war knife and solemnly carved a line of words on the enemy stele. The final name was not written with Emperor Yuning, but engraved with the four big characters of 'Great Xia Imperial Family'. This indicates that the entire Great Xia River and Mountain is completely annihilated in the hands of his Duan Lang and no longer exists.

After everyone finished worshipping, Zhou Guangji said with emotion, "Duan Lang, after settling down, it's time to renovate this place." When the old man leaves in the future, he also hopes to settle the old bones here. We, the old buddies of the year, can also reunite under Jiuquan. ”

Duan Lang nodded silently, "Don't worry, I will definitely renovate this place." Jing Jishan is not only the ancestral land of the Duan family, but also the homeland of the entire shadow artist. ”

Duan Lang looked at the barren Jingji Mountain, compared with the first time he came to worship, his mood at the moment did not have the tyrannical revenge mentality at the beginning, but there was a trace of melancholy. All these years of fighting and fighting, is it really just for revenge? For the sake of his own Duan's hatred, can he turn the once stable Great Xia into the current one? Duan Lang did not deny that the current situation in Great Xia had a lot to do with him. If it weren't for the fact that he had indulged Lu Mu into Great Xia at the beginning, Nanping Mokun would not have dared to act rashly. But it's all just for one thing, and that's to stay alive. If this is not done, the Great Xia River may be stable, but Duan Lang and Lidu City may become another Jingji Mountain.

After the memorial was completed, Duan Lang and the others left Jingjishan to chase Liu Xusheng's brigade. At this moment, the entire world focused its eyes on Xiadu Mansion, waiting for Duan Lang's arrival.

In Yixiang City, Deguang sat lonely on the palace hall, and the whole person looked very decadent. As soon as Fan Jiachang died, there was no one around him who could really make friends. Deguang is different from Delong, his foundation is very shallow, at least Delong has Liu Zhishuzang and others around him, and he can arrange the future for himself. Deguang only got his name but not the truth, and he had the title of an emperor, but he didn't get the real background of the royal family. Especially this time, Wu Guangguang wanted to go to Xiadu Mansion on behalf of the royal family, so that Deguang could understand that he, the emperor, was just a joke in the eyes of the world. In the final moments, Kyoto Tokulong still represents the authenticity of the imperial family. And his virtue is just a façade.

Deguang regretted a little, he regretted that he should not have listened to Fan Jiachang's bewitchment of Shoushan. If he hadn't done anything to collude with foreign enemies and join forces with Duan Lang to fight the enemy, at least after the war ended, he would still be able to keep the fiefdom of Yixiang City. Even if he gave up the throne to Duan Lang, at least Duan Lang would not destroy his Yixiang City. It's good now, not only can Duan Lang send troops to take his life at any time, but even the people of the world can't tolerate him.

In Yixiang City, everyone understood that they were no longer able to resist Duan Lang's army. In the barracks, the veteran Sun Gang also made an alliance with Han Feng under the city. As soon as Duan Lang's army arrived, they opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city. As for Tokumitsu in the palace, he is just waiting for the final verdict of the Xiadu Mansion.

In Xiadu Mansion, since Li Jianshan announced the roster, everything has become clear. Each person on the roster had their own areas of responsibility, and they began to recruit according to their respective authority, and soon formed a set of teams. In the barracks and school grounds, high platforms also began to be built. The original government office was pushed to the courtyard wall and re-expanded. I have to say that Li Jianshan is very experienced in this area, and the originally messy Xiadu Mansion was combed by him in an orderly manner. The people of the city were also mobilized and threw themselves into vigorous construction.

In the palace, Li Jianshan sat behind the bookcase. Now that he has the manpower in his hands, he only needs to review the reported notes. Although he is nameless and undivided, the officials in the city, big and small, regard Li Jianshan as the first position under Duan Lang.

Li Jianshan called Zhou Hu and Cui Zhiliang, who were recuperating from their injuries, to the mansion, don't look at Cui Zhiliang and Zhou Hu are both Duan Lang's descendants and the old men of Lidu City, but they dare not be arrogant in front of Li Jianshan. When he was in Lidu City, Li Jianshan was in charge of affairs large and small, and even Duan Lang and Zhang Ruming had to respect him for three points.

"Ah Hu, how are the injuries on your body?" Li Jianshan asked with concern.

"Master Li, you are so busy that you don't even have time to eat, and you still care about the last general, I am really grateful."

Li Jianshan said with a smile, "It's only been a long time, but my mouth is sharp, it can't be that I am with Zhang Fatzi and contaminated with his habits." ”

Zhou Hu laughed a few times, and then officially hugged his fists and said, "The injury is no longer a big deal, please ask the adults to tell me if there is anything." ”

Li Jianshan nodded, looked at Cui Zhiliang and Zhou Hu and said, "According to the news, Duan Lang and the others still have five or six days to arrive. Now Xiadu Prefecture is gathered from all directions, and the personnel are extremely complex. Zhiliang, now I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the city defense, and all the soldiers and horses in the battalion are under your command. Don't look at the fact that there is no war now, but also prevent sudden destruction. You can follow the defense of Kyoto and strictly control the security of Shimoto Province in your own hands. ”

Cui Zhiliang clenched his fists, "The last general will be ordered." Please rest assured, although most of the soldiers in the camp are disabled guards, a patrol battalion and a city defense battalion can still be formed to ensure the safety of the city. ”

Li Jianshan snorted, looked at Zhou Hu and said, "Ah Hu, your task is more important." After Duan Lang returns, the world will be discussed. I need you to assemble an elite army to serve as a guard. At that time, the safety of the school grounds will be all handed over to the two of you. There is Lao Cui on the outside, and you on the inside, so you must be absolutely safe. ”

Zhou Hu clenched his fists, "The last general will be ordered!" ”

After arranging Zhou Hu and Cui Zhiliang, Li Jianshan thought about it carefully, and invited Pang Gang and Fan Cheng over.

"Master Li, I don't know if you want to call us over, do you have any important arrangements?" Pang Gang asked.

Li Jianshan arched his hand, "Two bosses, you two used to be the Lord of the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple, Jianshan wants to ask the two elders to help do something." ”

"Jianshan, if you have anything to arrange, you don't have to be polite with me." Fan Cheng said heartily.

"Well, it's disrespectful down there. That's the case, at present, the personnel of Shimoto Prefecture are complicated, and I would like to ask the two elders to sort out the personnel in the city in the form of the Kyoto Criminal Department back then. Not only local officials ascended the throne to make registers, but all merchants and traders also had to register. Moreover, from entering the city to inspecting major inns, it is necessary to make sure that there are traces. In case something goes wrong, at least know where the root cause is. Li Jianshan said.

Fan Cheng nodded, "This is how it should be, although the war is over, the forces of all parties still exist." It is estimated that some people very much hope that something will happen in Xiadu Province. ”

Li Jianshan smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, even if there are some small problems, it won't affect the overall situation." It's just that we also have to do it and prevent it from happening. ”

Pang Gang thought for a while and said, "It's okay to do this, but I'm afraid there is a shortage of people." ”

"It's okay, whether it's the government or the many men in the barracks, the two bosses can choose."

"Okay, the old man is welcome." Pang Gang agreed very simply.

Under Li Jianshan's arrangement, the city of Xiadu Prefecture not only set off a tide of construction, but also set up a patrol battalion and a patrol camp. Every household in the city began to make an official register. Moreover, the big businessmen who came from all over the country not only had to register and make a register, but also needed to fill in the recommendation of Yin from the city of origin. For traders who do not have a certificate of identity, they can only temporarily move to temporary camps outside the city.

For Li Jianshan's move, it really caught Shu Zang and the others off guard. However, after all, the royal secret guards have a deep background, and they still remain in the city under the protection of a small northern city, Chi Fu Yin. It's just that this governor of the small city left Xiadu Mansion after Baoju, and since then the world has evaporated.

Five days later, Liu Xusheng's army arrived in Taiyin County in Xiadu Province. Duan Lang and the others also caught up with the team and prepared to return to Xiadu Mansion together tomorrow.

In Taiyin County, Duan Lang and others stayed overnight. Han Feng also rushed over from Yixiang City and joined Duan Lang and the others in Taiyin County. Knowing that Sun Gang had made arrangements in Yixiang City, although he was a little surprised, it was also expected. Now there are only a few remaining troops in Yixiang City, and they are no longer a threat to Duan Lang. Originally, Duan Lang was worried that Deguang would burn the jade of Yixiang City with a desperate attitude, but now with Sun Gang's guarantee, Deguang's fate will be decided by the people of the world.

Early the next morning, the army marched out and rushed to Xiadu Mansion. When Li Jianshan and others learned the news, they held a grand welcoming ceremony outside the city. It is said that Li Jianshan and Zhang Mingru don't want to be so public, but in those places, Yin Da didn't agree. For them, it is not the soldiers and horses of the capital city that greet them, but the future emperor of the world.

In the courtyard where Shu Zang was hidden, when he learned the news of Duan Lang's arrival, Shu Zang also gathered all the secret guards together. Looking at these expressionless royal guards, the aged Shuzo slowly held up a token.

Swish~! Thirty secret guards of various ages knelt on the ground and said in unison, "I will wait for the Great Xia Imperial Family to serve and swear allegiance to the Great Xia Imperial Family, even if we are broken bones, we have no regrets." If the oath is violated, the nine clans will be destroyed by heaven and earth. ”

Shu Zang put away the token, and said in a deep voice, but very majestically, "Very good, I hope you don't forget the blood oath that joined the secret guard back then." Duan Lang is about to enter the city today, and our action is about to begin. Remember, no matter who has an accident, you can only serve by yourself, and you can't be left behind. Everyone, can you remember? ”

"Obey the orders of the Commander."

Shuzang nodded in satisfaction and began to assign tasks to each of the secret guards. Thirty guards, each with their own target to kill. But most of them just wanted to cause chaos, and only three people really implemented the plan. In addition to Shu Zang and Zhang Liancheng, there is also an unknown old eunuch Hongde. This person did not serve as the king's bodyguard, but he was the personal guard of the Empress Jian'an back then. The three of them will carry out the final plan and kill the three must-kill candidates designated by Delon.
