On the various passages leading to Mamaiya City, Yutai Mingyue sent a scout hunting team of three hundred people in advance. These men moved separately, and their main goal was to hunt down the scouts of the West Viet and Moro. The soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Kingdom are going to be killed under the city, since they have learned that Lu Mu has left Mamaiya City, Tangtai Mingyue does not want the soldiers and horses of Xiyue to learn the news and stir up the situation.

In the palace of Mamaia City, Long Mu finished writing the recital with grief and grief. Just as he was about to order everyone to wrap their heads with blood and wear white silk on their arms, showing the determination of the soldiers to take revenge, they heard a rapid sound of a police gong. Long Mu's face changed, and he hurriedly walked out of the room, and saw a personal soldier running in in a hurry.

"Lord Qiqi Tusi, it's not good, Duan Lang personally led the army to kill him."

"What!" Long Mu Jiling shuddered suddenly, "Where are their soldiers and horses?" ”

"Lord Hui Tusi, they ~ have already arrived outside the city." The soldier replied, but beads of sweat appeared on his head.

"Bastard, what about our scouts, why did they warn when they got to the city. Come, blow the trumpet, and prepare for battle. ”

Long Mu was furious, raised his hand and drew his war knife, and ran out quickly. The pro-soldiers who reported did not dare to say much, and hurriedly followed behind.

The city sounded a loud battle horn, and the people ran into the streets in panic. Long Mu rode a war horse to the city gate quickly, and when he saw that everything was fine in the city, Long Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the city wall, Duan Lang rode a war horse at the front of the military formation, and Gu Fan Xiangtian and other eighteen guards lined up left and right. Behind them, there were Tai Mingyue and Zhou Long and others. Compared with the panicked and nervous Moro guards in the city, Duan Lang's army was neat and strict in battle. Listening to the shouting and scolding in the city, Duan Lang's army was as unmoved as stone soldiers.

Long Mu came to the city wall under the protection of his own soldiers, although the city wall is low, but it is always a defense. If Duan Lang's army really attacked, Long Mu was confident that he would be able to fight with the city wall. As soon as the soldiers defending the city saw Long Mu coming, they stopped the shouting and scolding, and the city wall gradually quieted down.

Looking at the mighty army under the city, Long Mu pointed a spear in his hand, "Duan Lang Xiao'er, you are the king of a country, but I didn't expect to act like such a villain." I, the lord of the kingdom of Moro, have mercy on the people, and I can't bear to see the soldiers on both sides continue to bleed, but you have treacherously used such dark means to harm my prince and the high priest. Duan Lang Xiao'er, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world. Even if you are majestic for a while, but virtue is not worthy, heaven will punish you, and one day, you Duan Lang will be spurned by all the people in the world. ”

Duan Lang pointed the halberd in his hand to the city, "Stop!" ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he simply took a few steps forward with his horse, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice, "Long Mu, this emperor came to Mamaia City, not to listen to what you accuse, and you are not worthy of commenting on this emperor." For the sake of the high priest of Hutu, this emperor will not care about you. I, Duan Lang, are here today to tell you openly that the matter of the canyon has nothing to do with my Dali Kingdom. Believe it or not, it's a fact. ”

"Fart, do you think the old man is blind, do you think the old man is blind under tens of thousands of soldiers. Outside the canyon, your general Zhou Wu and Shangguan Xuanwu, and the two hundred entourages brought by the high priest who slaughtered the giant slaughter of 10,000 people and horses, this is the glorious style of your Great Calendar Kingdom. Duan Lang, originally Ben Shuai looked down on you, but I didn't expect you to be such a villain. I'm here today, and I'm here to see if you can step into Mamaia City. ”

Duan Lang couldn't help sneering angrily, and said in his heart that this guy was quite sober-minded, and he didn't go out of the city to fight under madness. If he really went out of the city in a frenzy, Duan Lang wouldn't mind eating the 30,000 Duomora soldiers and horses. Without the assistance of Lu Mu's army in Western Vietnam, Duan Lang hadn't taken Long Mu in his eyes.

Duan Lang snorted coldly, "Long Mu, if I want to kill your Great Sacrifice Hutu, I will kill you when I capture it that day, there is no need to be so troublesome." Sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing, it's just a coincidence. To tell the truth, Emperor Ben didn't understand why the High Priest Hu Tu went to the canyon area, and he agreed with me to meet in Qingshan County. Early this morning, Emperor Ben arrived in Qingshan County, but he didn't see the figure of Hutu sacrifice at all. However, after the emperor left, my camp was attacked by the soldiers and horses of Lu Mu of Western Vietnam. Zhou Wu and the others were chasing Lu Mu's army before they reached the place of the canyon. ”

Long Mu's face was hideous, he angrily slammed the spear to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Duan Lang, if you are a man, you dare to act, such a lie, do you think I, Long Mu, will believe it, and these soldiers in my city will believe it." Hmph, you don't have to defend such a bad act, it will make Ben Shuai look down on you even more. ”

Duan Lang was also a little speechless with anger, he knew that he should have brought Zhang Ruming in this way. Hearing these words, Zhang Ruming was sure to be able to scold his ancestors for eighteen generations. If you want to be unreasonable, Zhang Ruming wants to say that he is the second in this world, I am afraid that no one dares to call him the first.

Yutai Mingyue took a step forward and said coldly and angrily, "Long Mu, our Jishan Emperor dares to act and dare to be known to the world, there is no need to prove anything to you, and you are not qualified enough." I'm here to state an implementation to you, believe it or not, just investigate it. I guess you and I have fallen for someone's tricks, but your messenger has asked us to meet in Qingshan County. You go to Qingshan County and investigate, and they will tell you. As for why the High Priest Hutu went to the canyon, we have no idea at all. ”

"You don't know? Hmph, it's obvious that Duan Lang sent a messenger here, but now he wants to quibble, is this a deception that Long Mu doesn't dare to fight to the death with you. ”

Duan Lang sneered, "Long Mu, this Emperor doesn't bother to explain anything to you. Fight, come. ”

Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Messenger? Ridiculous, when have we sent messengers? To tell the truth, when Hutu was captured by our army a few days ago, he once showed the secret letter of the lord of the Vupol Khanate, and we agreed to peace talks only after Emperor Jishan. Use your mind to think about it, if we really don't want peace talks, why just kill the unthreatening Wubatu and the high priest. With the means of this military division, it is completely possible to use them to lead your dragon herding soldiers and horses into an ambush and kill them together. ”

Long Mu listened to it and chuckled in his heart, no matter what, Tangtai Mingyue's words were very convincing. Especially the last sentence, with the wisdom of Tantai Mingyue, Long Mu can indeed be fooled. But the canyon was what he saw with his own eyes after all, if it wasn't for Duan Lang's doing, Long Mu himself felt that it was unreasonable.

"Duan Lang, you really haven't sent a messenger?" Long Mu asked suspiciously.

Hearing Long Mu ask this, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue knew that their goal had been achieved. Even if Long Mu didn't admit it, at least he already had doubts about this matter in his heart. This is enough for Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue.

Duan Lang said loudly, "Nonsense, your messengers have made it very clear, why should this monarch do anything more." Listen, this emperor is not here with his troops to fight you, but just to tell you a fact. Although this emperor does not care about the wrath of your Moro, he is not willing to bear this dirty water. Long Mu, tell you that Emperor Wupol Khan, is he fighting and I are waiting for his news. However, the patience of this emperor is also limited, and he hopes that His Majesty Vupor Khan will make a decision quickly. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Zhou Long, order to evacuate." ”

Duan Lang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Long Mu again, and since the goal had been achieved, he immediately ordered to evacuate. The strict military formation slowly withdrew step by step, but before Mingyue left, he said loudly.

"Longmu Toast, tens of thousands of people are involved in this matter, and it is very easy to seek answers. There are some things that only need to secretly visit so many people and believe that the truth is right in front of you. It's not terrible to fall for someone else's trick, but it's terrible to try your best to clarify for the other party. At this point, presumably Long Mu Toast should be looking for the answer. Leave! ”

Watching Duan Lang's army retreat like a tide, Long Mu stood motionless, and the soldiers above and below the city wall were even more confused. I don't understand why Duan Lang's army came in a hurry, so he just said these few words and left in a hurry.

"Toast-sama~ Toast-sama? They're gone. One of the generals shouted cautiously twice.

Long Mu was thrilled and came back to his senses from his thoughts. Just now, Duan Lang had reason to deny that they did it, and Long Mu was also a little dazed. However, Yutai Mingyue's words reminded him that if it wasn't Duan Lang's doing, then only Lu Mu had the ability. And such a big action, as Tantai Mingyue said, can never be just a few people involved. As long as he secretly captures a few Xiyue guards, Long Mu only needs to interrogate their travel routes in the past few days, and he can judge that they are not far from ten. It is even said that the detailed truth can be asked.

Back at the mansion, Long Mu locked himself in his room again. After calming down, Long Mu also felt that this matter had become suspicious. In Long Mu's eyes, the overall situation was very favorable to Duan Lang at the moment, and there was really no need for him to kill the crown prince and the high priest Hu Tu in one fell swoop. Duan Lang would only suffer from the dirt of others by doing this, and it would not add much weight to the overall situation. It is even said that it will cause Moro to fight the enemy together. But to say that this matter was done by Lu Mu, Long Mu also couldn't believe it. After all, Lu Mu, as an important minister of another country, came to help regardless of life and death, and he was as grateful to Mo Luo. Especially when the high priest of Hutu said that he would sacrifice Lu Mu in exchange for peace talks, Long Mu also felt that the lord of the country had a bit of a taste of falling into the ground. Now in turn, he has to suspect Lu Mu of being a black hand, and Long Mu is completely confused.

Long Mu opened the room and shouted out, "Someone." ”

A personal soldier ran over, and Long Mu asked, "Go and ask where Lu Mu and the soldiers of West Vietnam are at the moment." ”

"No!"

The soldier agreed, and hurried to the recorder to ask. After a while, the soldiers informed Lu Muda that after the location was reported early yesterday morning, there has been no news.

Long Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Go, order the scout battalion to send someone to the location of Lu Muda's camp, and inform Lu Dudu that he has something important to do, and ask him to lead his troops to come." ”

After the soldiers went down, Long Mu felt that the matter should be temporarily suppressed for a day or two, and then report to the lord of the country, Wupol Khan, after clarifying it. He also wanted to explore the reality of Lu Mu's side, and then write his opinions in the folds. Even if it was really Lu Mu's doing, as for how to deal with it, Long Mu still needed to get the will of the lord of the country, Vupor Khan. What's more, at present, Lu Mu has more soldiers and horses than him, and Long Mu doesn't dare to do anything to Lu Mu at all. As for Qingshan County, Long Mu believed that as long as he went to the lord of the country, someone would find out. Thinking of the current situation in Mamaiya City, Long Mu couldn't help but feel a little sad. The dignified Moro coach has actually become the weakest of the three forces.

At this moment, Lu Mu was also wondering. It is said that the scouts he sent should have returned a long time ago, why did he not see anyone for a long time. Lu Mu didn't know that the scouts he sent had already been hunted by the scout team left behind by Zhou Wu at that time. In the confrontation of scouts, Duan Lang's troops occupied an absolute advantage. Especially the shadow scouts who followed Ah Zhu before, not only have the experience of exploration, but also the ability to track has been trained like a hunting dog by Ah Zhu.

Lu Mu sensed that something might be wrong with the scouts, so he sent two groups of scouts in succession and asked them to detour to Mamaiya City. Lu Mu now, most of all, wants to know what Long Mu will do at this moment. More importantly, what news is there in the Moro Court, Lu Mu still needs to know from Long Mu. Therefore, under any circumstances, Duan Lang could not be allowed to cut off the connection between him and Mamaiya City.

However, it was said that after Duan Lang evacuated, he immediately went to the place where Zhou Wu and Zhang Ruming assembled. Along the way, Duan Lang scattered the scouts, and it was absolutely necessary to ensure that there was no tail to follow. Because in the next few days, their team will disappear from each other's sight for a few days. Duan Lang, Tantai Mingyue and others also have to wait for the result of this matter after fermentation. If the Moro Kingdom really had to fight with all the troops, Duan Lang would have to retreat to the city of Temira to join up with Khozath and reconsider the overall layout. Otherwise, with only 20,000 or 30,000 of them, even if Zhang Qifeng's 20,000 new troops are added, they may not be able to withstand the counterattack of the entire Moro people.

Duan Lang had seized power from Great Xia, and he knew how powerful it was to mobilize the people. If it weren't for Jiang Zhuming, Liang Yi, and Zhang Guangzhi secretly recruiting troops for him, Duan Lang would not have been able to gather 200,000 troops so easily. Now it seems that the Moro Kingdom is running out of soldiers and horses, and once it is established in a dangerous place to recruit the world, I am afraid that it will be able to gather 340,000 troops in an instant. Moreover, the Moro people are fierce and martial, and even the combat effectiveness of the new army cannot be underestimated. Unless Beiming Lantai Moli can also make up his mind to fight hard, Duan Lang can only let Zhou Hu, Chen Zhanxuan and others continue to lead their troops to help.

As the sun set, the forces around the city of Mamaia finally calmed down. Just as the sun was setting for the last shimmer of afterglow, Lu Mu's scouts also came to Mamaia City.

In the palace, Long Mu looked at the scouts of Xiyue, and asked calmly on the surface, "Where are your men and horses now?" ”

"Qi Qi Long Shuai, my West Vietnamese soldiers and horses are currently secretly stationed about fifteen miles east of the Duan Lang camp."

Long Mu's eyes narrowed, and he deliberately asked, "What is the movement of the Lang Department today?" ”

"Hui Longshuai, the thieves have been extremely cruel to serving and hunting in the past few days, and we have no choice but to patrol the periphery, and we dare not approach within five miles of the enemy's camp. Therefore, their whereabouts are not known at this time. The governor of my family wants to ask Long Shuai and get some information from Long Shuai. ”

Long Mu frowned and said, "According to the news obtained by our army scouts, that Duan Lang is likely to launch an attack on Mamaiya City, you should go back immediately and inform Lu Dudu, and ask him to lead his troops back to help." ”

There are some things that Long Mu can't say clearly, he wants to mobilize Lu Mu's army back first, and then secretly arrest a few secret interrogations. However, Long Mu knew that even if something came out of the interrogation, he could do nothing but endure it. But Long Mu really wanted to know what he really thought, if it was really Lu Mu's deeds, I am afraid that Lu Mu and his men would never be able to return to Xiyue.

As soon as Lu Mu's scouts left, Long Mu immediately summoned his more than 1,000 officers and began to secretly arrange the matter. Moreover, Long Mu ordered that what Duan Lang and the others said outside the city today should not be leaked by anyone, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. Now that the situation in Moro is in danger, in case it is Duan Lang's trick, Long Mu doesn't want to cause any more extraneous branches and cause the wrath of Lu Mu in Xiyue.

That night, Lu Mu's scouts returned to the Xiyue camp. In the temporary tent, Lu Mu listened to the scout's report in detail, pondered for a moment and asked.

"What is the situation of the soldiers and horses in the city?"

When he returned to the capital, there was a wail in the city, and the mood of the soldiers in the barracks seemed to be extremely low. However, as soon as the little one arrived in the city, he was taken to the government office, and only watched for a short time. ”

"Aren't they showing signs of a move? Is there any red and white? Lu Mu continued to ask.

The scout thought for a moment, "It seems like they're just white ribbons on their armbands, not red." As for the signs of the movement of troops and horses, the small ones did not see it. But it's very strange, it is said that the city wall should be heavily guarded at this time. But on a small look-and-see, there are not many guards on the city wall, and they can't even reach the lowest level of third-level vigilance. ”

Lu Mu frowned when he heard this, he believed in his scout's eyesight, after all, these scouts were professionally trained people with very strong observation skills. According to common sense, the prince died in the army, and the whole camp had to be red and white. The red on the head indicates the blood oath of revenge, and the white on the arms is the etiquette of the prince's funeral. Long Mu didn't actually give the order to wrap red, didn't he even have the courage to take revenge? This is not in keeping with the characteristics of the Moro people.

After asking, Lu Mu waved his hand to let the scout retreat. Man Zhan stepped forward and asked, "Lord Governor, is my battalion returning to Mamaia City tomorrow?" ”

Lu Mu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "Full War, did we miss something?" Pontur felt that there was something unusual about the calm nature of the dragon herd. ”

Man Zhan said disdainfully, "If you want me to see, he is nothing more than being scared by Duan Lang, and he is not calm at all." What's more, as soon as the crown prince Wu Batu died, this old boy was probably thinking about how to exonerate himself. Otherwise, Vupor Khan would never be able to spare him, and if he was not exterminated, he would at least be killed. ”

Lu Mu smiled slightly, "If he wants to live, he can only break the cauldron and fight against Duan Lang." At present, Moro lacks a commander to lead his troops, and as long as the war is not over, Vupor Khan will never kill him. Once the war is over, it can be said that this dragon herd will definitely die. ”

"In that case, what else is the governor worried about? If I were Long Mu, for the sake of my own safety and that of Manmen, even if I knew that we were transferring Duan Lang to Qingshan County and taking the opportunity to kill the prince and Hu Tu, I could only knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, and put this matter on Duan Lang's head. ”

Lu Mu smiled, "It's a pity, you're not Long Mu, in case he doesn't care about it~!" ”

As soon as he said this, Man Zhan's face suddenly changed, and he interrupted Lu Mu's words all of a sudden.

"Lord Governor, we have indeed forgotten one important thing, and that is Qingshan County. Although Qingshan County is small, after all, there are people from the government, if this matter is reported, won't it arouse suspicion? Otherwise, the last general would have led his troops to pretend to be Duan Lang's subordinates and slaughtered this small county directly. ”

After hearing this, Lu Mu smiled, "Full war, full war, or you can only be a fierce general, and you can't become a commander." The Governor of Pontus had thought about this for a long time, and if Duan Lang wanted to rely on Qingshan County to prove himself, it would be a mistake. The more this is the case, the more it wants to cover up in the eyes of Moro officials. There was no shortage of shrewd people in the Moro court, and with their hatred of Duan Lang, they would come up with all kinds of arguments to overturn this judgment. The reason why the Governor of Pontus dared to kill Wu Batu and the High Priest was based on the hatred of Mo Luo against Duan Lang. Even if they were suspicious, they were willing to splash this basin of dirty water on Duan Lang. Keeping Qingshan County is even more unfavorable to Duan Lang. ”

When Man Zhan heard this, he said embarrassedly, "The last general is stupid, and I think that Lord Du Du has missed it." So, tomorrow our army will return to the city of Mamaia? ”

Lu Mu shook his head, "No, originally I was going to lead the troops back. Now it seems that our soldiers and horses cannot enter the city yet. Until Vupor Khan makes a decision, our army must not come into contact with the dragon herd. Some things have to be guarded against, that Duan Lang has a cold and arrogant personality, and he may not care about carrying this black cauldron on his back. But Tantai Mingyue is shrewd and cunning, and I am afraid that there will be trouble. If she wants to point out Long Mu, she will definitely start with our generals. Tomorrow the army stood still, and Pontus went alone to the city of Mamaia. It seems that there are some things that the Pontus Governor must personally teach the Dragon Mu Tusi how to report to His Majesty Vupor Khan. ”

Lu Mu is cunning and suspicious, but he is indeed qualified to be called the wise man of the world. Even though this operation left a lot of flaws, Lu Mu was able to make up for these mistakes afterwards. Even if the Moro Kingdom investigates this matter in detail, at least there is no evidence of death, and it is nothing more than suspicion. But Moro's hatred for Duan Lang determined the final direction of this matter. On Long Mu's side, Lu Mu also decided to have a frank talk with him, stating the pros and cons and analyzing the facts, forcing Long Mu to stand on his front.
