The killing of the old ghost shook the court, and it was also a good thing for Emperor Delong. After all, Ruimu's identity is too special, once it is publicized, not only will Emperor Yuning's reputation be ruined, but even the royal family will be sick by the people. The royal family members who have always cherished their wings are unwilling to carry this black cauldron for Emperor Yuning. Now that Mizugi is dead, Delong is completely relieved. At the very least, Duan Lang would not publicize Ruimu's true identity. After a long time, there was no proof of this matter.

Outside the Lidu City, the envoys He Lianjia and Feng Zhun led more than a dozen carts to the Lidu City. There are not only gifts from Emperor Delong, but also gifts entrusted by many ministers of the court.

Outside the city gate, Duan Lang and Li Jianshan led the civil and military officials in the city out of the city to greet them. Anyway, He Lianjia is also a first-class member now, and he has to get by in terms of face.

After He Lianjia read out the holy decree, he walked over and took Duan Lang's hand enthusiastically, "Brother Duan, we met at Yushanguan five years ago. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you were about to get married. Congratulations. ”

Feng Zhun also walked over, clasped his fists and said, "General Duan, the old man is also congratulated." ”

"The two adults came from afar, Duan Lang thanked him a lot. Let's talk. Duan Lang enthusiastically let everyone go to the city.

Feng Zhun casually glanced at the city, the flags on the city wall were neatly displayed, and even the soldiers on both sides of the city gate looked different from Kyoto. The armor of the Kyoto guards is distinct, but compared to these dark-skinned guards, it lacks a sense of majesty.

The people in the city welcomed him, and He Lianjia and others came all the way to the palace. As soon as I entered the mansion here, I saw Zhang Ruming sitting in the hall with a big grin, waiting for them.

"Lao He, I didn't expect us to meet again from Lidu City. How about it, it's not hard along the way. ”

He Lianjia smiled, he was not angry that Zhang Ruming did not go to the city gate to greet him. People don't even kneel down to see the Son of Heaven, let alone just greet the Holy Decree. What's more, he He Lianjia didn't dare to provoke Zhang Ruming. From the time he met this Shangguan Heavenly Master in Yushanguan to the present, He Lianjia had never seen Shangguan Xuanwu admit it.

"Lord Shangguan, Brother Duan is overjoyed, no matter how hard he works, he doesn't feel tired. I don't know how many people in Kyoto want to rob this errand, and Fan Cheng is still depressed about this matter and wants to reason with His Majesty. ”

"I said Lao He, you are also a member of the Sixth Department now, this time I came to say hello to Duan Lang, we have to have a few drinks. Two days ago, the capital city was not peaceful, and the old ghost Huai actually wanted to disturb the good things of Brother Duan. Grandma drops, last time Lao Tzu got married, someone came to some eye medicine, this time he killed the old ghost Huai, Lao Tzu didn't open his eyes to see who would. Zhang Ruming said with grinning teeth.

"Of course, Brother Duan Lang is very happy in life, and I am really happy for him."

He Lianjia smiled on the surface, but there were also words of suffering in his heart. When Emperor Delong asked him to borrow troops, He Lianjia really couldn't open his mouth. Shangguan Xuanwu's words were also full of threats. But the king's fate was unbearable, and He Lianjia could only plan to mention this matter after Duan Lang's wedding. Otherwise, if you annoy Shangguan Xuanwu, this happy wine will not be able to drink well.

That night, everyone drank heartily, and they showed respect for Feng Zhun, the former squire of the military department, and the generals of the capital city. Besides, the envoy team brought heavy gifts from the court, and they couldn't snub people.

The arrival of the envoy team, Duan Lang did not have time to receive them. Early the next morning, Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue rushed to Landu City. The wedding day is coming, and the two agreed to visit Fang Yan before the wedding.

A few days later, Duan Lang and his entourage came to Landu City. After three years of transformation, the city walls on both sides of Landu City were extended, completely blocking the passages on both sides. In the current Landu City, the main defender of the town will be Lu Zhengshan, assisted by the two old generals Feng Ming and Wei Du.

Outside the city gate, Lu Zhengshan and the two veterans waited early. Seeing Duan Lang's team appear, a horn sounded on the head of the city to welcome him.

Lu Zhengshan took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Lu Zhengshan of Landu City, and Feng Wei, the two generals, greet Duan Shuai and the military division. ”

Duan Lang looked at everyone, dismounted and said, "I said that Zhengshan is all my own family, why is it so grand." I can't afford to welcome you out by yourself, and let the two old generals out of the city. ”

Feng Ming said heartily, "Duan Lang, we are not just here to greet you, but mainly to welcome the Mingyue Military Division. ”

"Why, I haven't been in charge for the past three years, so I forgot about me." Duan Lang said with a smile.

Wei Du laughed, "Duan Lang, this is different. Next time you come, you'll still be the Generalissimo. But Mingyue Military Division, next time I come, I will become Mrs. Duan. Therefore, we are waiting for a grand greeting, just to let Mingyue understand that after the wedding, don't forget about military affairs, but don't really become the housekeeper of Duan Mansion. ”

Yutai Mingyue said shyly, "General Wei, this military division was canonized by the court, and he Duan Lang is still inevitably from my military position." As long as you don't dislike it, Mingyue is still the military advisor of the western soldiers and horses. ”

"Haha, this is like a heroine among women. Let's go, let's go to the Shuaifu to talk. Feng Ming happily got out of the way and led everyone into the city.

After three years of recovery, the city has not yet reached the prosperity of its pre-war heyday, but it is still very lively. Everyone came to Shuai's Mansion, which was once Fang Yan's home. Recalling the past, Duan Lang was also full of emotion in his heart. If it weren't for the war in Western Vietnam, he and Fang Yan would probably have become biological sons long ago.

In the marshal's mansion, Duan Lang did not hide it, and analyzed the future situation in detail with Lu Zhengshan. Feng Ming and Wei were both old men who had followed Fang Jiye for many years, and Duan Lang trusted them very much. Although Lu Zhengshan said that he was a palace guard placed in the military camp during the period of Emperor Yuning, he was not Delong's person after all. Moreover, in the past four years, Lu Zhengshan has been conscientiously and wholeheartedly devoted to Landu City, and Duan Lang can let him guard such an important position, which is enough to show his trust in Lu Zhengshan.

After listening to the analysis, Lu Zhengshan clenched his fists and said, "Duan Shuai, if Delong really shoots at our Lidu City, Landu City only needs to leave 10,000 people stationed here." Other troops, even if you move, will guarantee with your life that Landu City will never be lost. ”

Duan Lang shook his head, "Zhengshan, Lidu City is really going to fight with the court, and Mingyue and I are most worried about you here." That Lu Mu is scheming, and there is civil strife in Great Xia, and he will definitely come to get a piece of the pie. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, you will not move any soldiers and horses in Landu City. ”

"What, can Xiyue still devote all its strength to attack my Great Xia? Duan Shuai, don't forget, three years ago, there was not much left of their 400,000 army. Even if they step out of the Two Realms Mountain again, 10,000 horses in my Landu City will be enough to defend the city. ”

Yutai Mingyue said, "General Lu, if the court really turns against us, then Lu Mu will never wave the army at the beginning of the war. Maybe a year later, maybe at the most tense juncture of the Great War. Lu Mu sent an envoy, who seemed to support our war with the court on the surface, and they would not be enemies of the capital city in the west. I think he's delaying the war. ”

Yutai Mingyue paused slightly, looked at everyone and continued, "After the court took Xining, its advantage in soldiers and horses was as high as 600,000. Although our capital city has excellent soldiers and horses, there is a big gap in numbers. Therefore, this war has not been a year and a half, and I am afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the winner and loser. On the West Vietnamese side, after four or five years of recuperation, the eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers in China have also grown up strongly. As soon as the government decreed the whole country to recruit soldiers, hundreds of thousands of troops were not a problem. Therefore, behind the Landu City, as the capital city, there must be no mistakes. ”

Feng Ming and Wei Du also secretly agreed, Feng Ming said, "What the Mingyue military division said is reasonable, although the population of Xiyue is only half of my Great Xia, it still has the ability to gather hundreds of thousands of troops. Over the years, the West Vietnam has been seeking to expand its territory and occupy fertile land. Once Great Xia fell into war, they would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. It is a good thing for the military division to take precautions, and we must be foolproof in Landu City, and we must not let the soldiers and horses of Lidu City be attacked on both sides. ”

Duan Lang snorted, "Don't make this matter public for the time being, it's only known to the three of you." At present, the eyeliner of the court has entered our interior, and it is difficult to say whether Xiyue has entered the eyeliner of the high-level. Therefore, I plan to reorganize our western soldiers and horses before the war in Xining ends. ”

"The last general agrees, the thousands of miles of are destroyed in the anthill, and the enemy inside is the most terrible." Lu Zhengshan said seriously.

Tantai Mingyue nodded, she actually had a plan for the eyeliner placed in the court. When the Great War came, Hanhai Zhai could no longer exist. Just catch the main thing alive, and these eyeliners will naturally surface. What Mingyue is most worried about now is whether there will be undercover agents planted by others in this western theater. For example, those important ministers of the court, will they also leave a secret door for backup? If that's the case, the reality of the capital city is under the control of the court. No matter how good the soldiers and horses are, they can't stop others from planning in advance.

After everyone finished discussing, because the big wedding was imminent, Duan Lang did not dare to delay the time. Prepare to pay homage to the Fang family today and return early tomorrow morning.

Outside the west gate of Landu City, the cemetery of that year has been lush and green. Feng Ming and Wei both specially ordered people to build roads for the convenience of worship. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue came to the tomb of Fang Jiye and his wife first, and Xiang Tian and the others set up the tribute incense candles and retreated to the side.

Duan Lang and Tantai Mingyue knelt on their knees, and Duan Lang said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, sister-in-law Duan Lang and his wife Mingyue have come to worship your second elder." A few days later, I will marry Mingyue, and I hope that the second elder will bless us in the spirit of heaven. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, the two of them solemnly bowed. After paying homage to Fang Jiye and his wife, the two came to Fang Yan's tomb. Looking at the tomb of his beloved wife in his handwriting, Duan Lang couldn't help but have some red circles in his eyes. Although he and Fang Yan are not husband and wife, Duan Lang has always felt a little guilty in his heart. did not kill Lu Mu to avenge Fang Yan, which was also a knot in Duan Lang's heart.

Standing in front of the tomb, Duan Lang didn't say anything, he felt that Fang Yan could hear his heart. Tantai Mingyue spoke euphemistically and informed the two of the news of their upcoming wedding. After the worship, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.

Walking out of the woods and seeing that Mingyue was a little depressed, Duan Lang stopped and gently grabbed Mingyue's slightly cool little hand.

"Yue'er, is there something on your mind?"

Tantai Mingyue squeezed out a smile and shook her head slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that I think of the days with Sister Yan, and I'm a little sad." ”

"Yue'er, don't lie to me, you know I don't know how to talk about anything. Although we are about to get married now, on the night when I guarded you in Beiming, you were already my Duan Lang's person. Yue'er, from now on, I will be here, I will shelter you when the wind is strong, and I will protect you from the cold when the weather is cold. I'd rather be the enemy of the whole world, and I won't let anyone hurt you in the slightest. Most importantly, I can't do without you either. ”

Listening to Duan Lang's confession, Tantai Mingyue's nose was sour, and she couldn't help leaning on Duan Lang's shoulder and sobbing softly. In the past few years, she has been showing her strong side, but Mingyue is very lonely and even afraid in her heart. She has lost her family, and Duan Lang is her only one. For the sake of Duan Lang, she can bear any infamy by any means. However, she was afraid of losing Duan Lang, and even afraid of being disliked by Duan Lang for those shady methods.

In the past few years, Tangtai Mingyue has been pretending to be stupid and dare not mention the marriage of the two. When Duan Lang said that he would use the big wedding to bring out Ruimu, Yutai Mingyue secretly cried in the excited night. She didn't know how important her position in Duan Lang's heart was, and it wasn't until Duan Lang's words just now that she was completely relieved. Duan Lang said that she couldn't do without her, but Duan Lang was not her only hope for Mingyue to fight against fate.

Duan Lang gently held the moon in his arms, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that in the past three years, he had devoted himself to the training of soldiers and horses, and he was indeed ashamed of the woman who loved him deeply.

Early the next morning, the two said goodbye to Feng Ming, Wei Du and others and returned to Lidu City. They didn't ride horses, and Mingyue leaned lazily on Duan Lang in the middle of the car, with a happy smile on their faces. She felt that she had suddenly changed from a shrewd and strong woman back to a little girl who could be spoiled.

In the capital city, Helianjia has been pestered by a group of generals every day and drunk. On the contrary, it was Feng Zhun who seemed to be walking around leisurely, from the various barracks to the construction of the villa, every place shocked him incomparably.

As a veteran, Feng Zhun's vision is very sharp. In the battalion of soldiers and horses, with murderous training, to build innovative weapons and equipment in the villa. All this is far beyond his imagination. In Feng Zhun's opinion, even if Delong concentrates superior soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to win lightly. In the face of such a strong army, it is difficult to identify weak links unless it collapses from within.

Feng Zhun counted the time, the wedding day was coming, and Duan Lang should also return from Landu City. Before Duan Lang arrived, he still had one more important thing to do, that is, the real amount of grain and grass in Lidu City. Only by getting real data can Feng Zhun judge how long the Lidu City can hold out. But this matter is a core secret, even if the generals of each battalion don't know about it, Feng Zhun can only take the risk of meeting a person.

There was a joyful atmosphere everywhere in the capital city, and Feng Zhun was strolling leisurely through the streets. Looking around, Feng Zhun cautiously looked at the front and back and no one was following, and then walked quickly into a car and horse shop next to him.

Feng Zhun greeted the guy who came over and whispered a few words in his ear. The shopkeeper was stunned and hurriedly ran in to greet the shopkeeper. After a while, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked out.

"Lord Feng, you're here."

"Has he arrived?"

"My owner is waiting for you in the back, please inside."

The shopkeeper said, glancing at a few of the guys. Feng Zhun followed the shopkeeper to the backyard, but several guys came to the door, staring cautiously around.
