Duan Lang couldn't believe his eyes, the ghost guard Qi Zhongshan was the head of the twelve ghost guards. Back then, Jing Jishan and Qi Zhongshan were also one of the ghost guards left behind. Could it be that he betrayed the Duan clan people hiding in Xining?

Duan Lang closed his eyes slightly, trying his best to calm down. His hands trembled a little, and he didn't even dare to open the secret book.

"Lang, no matter how cruel the truth is, what you should know must be known, and you have to let yourself live to understand." Yutai Mingyue said softly.

Duan Lang took a deep breath, "Yue'er, you go and take a look at the interrogation file named Hong Jichen, I want to calm down." ”

Yutai Mingyue was stunned, and didn't understand why Duan Lang let it be arranged like this. However, Mingyue didn't ask, agreed softly, gave Azhu a look, and the two went to the inner room.

Duan Lang took a deep breath and opened the secret book. The first thing that catches your eye is the time when Qi Zhongshan was secretly arrested, thirteen years after Jian'an. That year was the year Duan Lang was born.

As the dossier watched, Duan Lang couldn't help but burst into anger. He didn't expect that Old Ghost Huai would use such despicable and cruel means to interrogate Qi Zhongshan. It is recorded that Qi Zhongshan has a strong temperament and has endured all kinds of torture. But eventually, under the control of a mysterious man known as 'Sa', a witchcraft soul search was carried out. After ten days of tribulation, Qi Zhongshan finally collapsed, and in a drowsy state, he revealed many of the core secrets of the Duan clan. Among them, there are the Duan clan people hidden in the Xining secret station and the secret passage to the back mountain. even told Han Feng and the others where they were hiding.

Seeing this, Duan Lang took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Years of doubts were finally solved, but in Duan Lang's heart, the ghost guard Qi Zhongshan did not betray the shadow people, and they were all loyal to the Duan family. Because Qi Zhongshan learned what he had done after he sobered up, he committed suicide by hitting the wall with hatred in grief and anger.

Duan Lang stood up and calmed down his boiling mood. Although the leakage in Qi Zhongshan's coma led to the slaughter of the entire Duan family. However, Duan Lang couldn't blame him, and even shed tears for Qi Zhongshan's grief and indignation.

Duan Lang gritted his teeth, "Mizuki? And that Sa? If these two people don't kill, it's not enough to comfort the Duan clan's spirit in the sky. ”

Duan Lang closed his eyes slightly, he already knew the identity of Lord Huai, but who was that 'Sa'? Duan Lang suddenly thought of the Sa Divine Doctor who had treated Emperor Yuning. Except for him, Duan Lang did not have any characters named Isaac in his memory. What's more, Doctor Sa is a person personally invited by Lord Huai. Thinking of all this, Duan Lang had a preliminary conclusion about this unmasked Sa .

Duan Lang called out Mingyue and Ah Zhu, "Ah Zhu, you keep this record first, Uncle Zhou is not in good health, don't let his old man know for the time being." Also, check all the records and you might be able to find some secrets. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he thought for a while and then said, "By the way, immediately use all your strength to help me find out where the Sa Divine Doctor who treated Emperor Yuning is now." Brother Zhang should know his information, and even if he doesn't know, he can ask Brother Zhang to go to the palace to ask. This person should have a very close relationship with the old ghost Huai, and if you find him, you may be able to find the old ghost Huai. ”

"Okay, when I have the details, I'll immediately notify the secret stations to find this person. Since he is a miracle doctor, he will never hide and hide. As long as he hangs the pot for consultation, he should be well-known in the local area. According to this clue, it is indeed much easier than finding the old ghost of Huai. ”

Duan Lang nodded, and Yutai Mingyue said, "Lang, I read Hong Jichen's file just now, and he did betray many secret stations of the Shadow Master. According to the dossier, the old ghost of Huai forced Hong Jichen to send messages to various secret stations to receive the running silver taels, and the Investigation and Defense Department set up an ambush and killed many shadow people. And the other captives, I am afraid, did not withstand the torture either, and betrayed many of their own people. ”

Duan Lang gritted his teeth, "After seeing these tortures, I can't blame them. My Duan clan destroyed the door, and I can only blame the Son of Heaven for being angry, otherwise no one will have such great energy. ”

Duan Lang was already convinced that it was none other than Emperor Yuning who really wanted to destroy his Duan clan. Wei Dong Zhanfeng and others are just small executioners. Including the ban, it only plays a role in fueling the troubles.

"Lang, this old ghost Huai was rounded up by the Duan clan in the Two Realms Mountain, and the hatred in his heart was great. Emperor Yuning can kill the killer, and the old ghost Huai definitely plays a decisive role. However, what worries me the most now is the current Delong Emperor. ”

"Worried about him? Why. Duan Lang was stunned.

Yutai Mingyue said softly, "Lang, you shouldn't be honest about the identity of the shadow artist. I know you're tempted to do the trick for the clan, but you've belittled the royal family's disguise. If he becomes suspicious of you, this is a great sin that can kill you. ”

"Now, he doesn't dare." Duan Lang said coldly.

"Yes, now Delon doesn't dare to offend you. But after the Great Xia was settled, it only took a few years of cultivation and recuperation, which was enough to build an army of hundreds of thousands. When the time comes, the barren land in the northwest will take what to compete with the court. Of course, it's too early to say that. But as the commander of the soldiers in the west, we must take precautions. Lang, if you trust Yue'er, leave the strategizing to me, and then you can only win a thousand miles. ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang honestly, she was afraid that her husband would be blinded by Delong's gift. It is even said that after killing Lord Huai, he will lose his goal and fighting spirit.

Duan Lang walked over and gently grabbed Mingyue's jade hand, "Yue'er, although I, Duan Lang, don't have any ambitions, but for the sake of my relatives and friends, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will fight to the end." I am a child who grew up in the mountains and forests, and I am not afraid of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, let alone people. From now on, I will leave the fate of the soldiers in the west to you, and I will bear the difficulties. I know your concerns, and although I have no desire to dominate, I will never let anyone slaughter me. ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang gratefully, she abandoned her father and Beiming and came to Great Xia, Mingyue did not have any ambitions. But Mingyue is used to seeing too many loyal and tragic endings, and she doesn't want her husband to follow in her footsteps. Regardless of whether it is the Northern Ming Dynasty or the Great Xia, a minister like Duan Lang who has a heavy military skill and high military skills will cause the king to be jealous. If he rests on his laurels, he will one day become a testing stone for kings. Mingyue didn't want to see that scene, she had to break the spell.

That night, the Heavenly Master Hall held a banquet to invite the ministers who came to congratulate. Don't look at Wu Guangguang as the prime minister of the dynasty, but the ministers all know in their hearts that it is Duan Lang who speaks the heaviest in Kyoto today, not Wu Guangguang. The defeat of the Western Yue army shrouded the soldiers and horses of the capital city with a layer of divine light. Moreover, Yan Facheng in the Southern Theater has not yet pledged allegiance to Delong, and once he rebels, he can only be suppressed by Duan Lang's soldiers and horses in Lidu City.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Wu Guangguang asked in a low voice, "General Duan, Your Majesty has already carved a mansion for you on the west side of the city." The prime minister has ordered someone to start work, and when you return to Beijing next time, you can stay in your own general's mansion. ”

Duan Lang was slightly stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Is there anything else?" Thank you, Lord Wu, it seems that I have to go and thank Your Majesty when I go back. ”

"Thank you no, but Your Majesty has something to ask for."

"Seeking each other? Lord Wu is serious, what does Your Majesty have to say. ”

"General Duan, this matter~ Your Majesty is really a little embarrassed. His Majesty's intention is to let Miss Mingyue go to the southern camp. Wu Guangguang looked at Duan Lang and said.

Duan Lang was stunned, "Didn't Mingyue recommend Zhu Wenjun to Your Majesty?" ”

Wu Guangguang shook his head, "To be honest, Zhu Wenjun is deeply responsible, and this person has a very good personal relationship with Yan Facheng. Your Majesty is worried that once the tiger is released and returns to the mountain, I am afraid ~. ”

"His family is all in Kyoto, and His Majesty has no need to worry."

Wu Guangguang shook his head, "Compared with the world, what is the family. Besides, if Yan Facheng's army really returned to Kyoto, who would dare to touch his family again. ”

"Does Lord Wu think Yan Facheng will be opposed?"

"It's hard to say, if Yan Facheng unites with his protégés who are forbidden in all the capitals of the world, I'm afraid that the entire Great Xia will really fall into fire and water." Wu Guangguang said worriedly.

"Wouldn't it be very dangerous for Mingyue to go to the Southern War Zone."

"No, no, on the contrary, the others are in danger, but Miss Mingyue will be safe. With General Duan's current prestige, that Yan Facheng dares to oppose the emperor, but he may not dare to provoke the people of your capital city. ”

Duan Lang sneered, "Lord Wu said so, but I have been trapped in disloyalty and injustice. When others heard this, they thought that I had no king. ”

"Hehe, General Duan, don't get me wrong, the old man just said that the general's prestige in the army is extremely high. Miss Mingyue stepped out, and he Yan Facheng would trust him on the conditions she promised. If Zhu Wenjun came out, even if he agreed to Yan Facheng's conditions, he didn't necessarily believe that Emperor Delong would be able to agree. Therefore, His Majesty asked the old man to discuss with General Duan, and for the sake of the stability of the Great Xia River, he also hoped that Miss Mingyue would take this trip. ”

Duan Lang was also a little embarrassed, if Delong let Mingyue out in front of him, Duan Lang would refuse without hesitation. But Wu Guangguang's tone of negotiation made Duan Lang refuse.

After a little hesitation, Duan Lang said, "Since Your Majesty has this intention, then okay, let Mingyue go." ”

As soon as he heard Duan Lang agree, Wu Guangguang's face suddenly turned happy, "General Duan can put the world first, and the old man is here to thank you." Come, cheers for the success of the bright moon girl. ”

Duan Lang had a false smile on his face, entertaining Wu Guangguang. In the past, he still thought that Wu Guangguang belonged to the kind of upright ministers, but after some things, Duan Lang found that these high-ranking ministers were not simple. can raise thousands of vine armor guards under the noses of Emperor Yuning and Yu Ban, and they are also traitors. It seems that it is indeed not easy for Yu Ban to suppress him for so many years.

After the banquet, Tangtai Mingyue learned that Duan Lang had agreed to Delong, so she didn't complain anything. In the eyes of the officials of Kyoto, going to the southern war zone is like entering the land of tigers and wolves. But Tantai Mingyue believes that Yan Facheng does not have the conditions to raise troops. As long as Delong can tolerate it, Yan Facheng will definitely return to Shundelong.

After deliberation, the people decided to hurry up sooner rather than later, and asked Delong for orders to go south tomorrow. On the Kyoto side, Duan Lang, Ah Zhu and others continued to track the whereabouts of Lord Huai, and if nothing worked, Duan Lang would also return to Lidu City after being killed in the ban. And Mingyue will take a month to go back and forth, and when the time comes, you can go directly to the capital city to meet.

Early the next morning, the bright moon appeared for the first time in the early dynasty. Although it was Delong's request, she still had to take the initiative to ask for it on the surface. Whether or not the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the southern theater can be appeased is a major matter on the minds of the Chinese military officers of the DPRK. As soon as she heard that Mingyue took the initiative to ask for help, she couldn't wait to urge her to leave Beijing immediately.

At noon that day, Emperor Delong led hundreds of officials to see off the bright moon outside the palace gate. As an envoy of Xuanfu, Mingyue of Tangtai gave Shang Fang a sword and led three thousand guards of honor to the city gate.

The people of Kyoto gathered around to watch, this was the first female minister in the history of Great Xia, and everyone wanted to wait and see. The mighty guard of honor sounded the gong to open the way, and the car of the bright moon was in the center, and the eighteen guards such as Tiangu Fan were distributed around the car.

After the chariot, there were more than 20 eunuchs in the palace. Since it is a decree, there must be palace people to carry it out. But these eunuchs in the palace had solemn expressions one by one, not as radiant as they had been in the past. Because they knew that once Yan Facheng rebelled in fear of his own safety, they, the palace people, would become ghosts under the sword of the flag. No one wants to go to this kind of drudgery, and the people who send it are all eunuchs who are not powerful in the palace.

Duan Lang and the others stood on top of the city gate and waved goodbye to the bright moon of the platform. In the vast honor guard, an expressionless old eunuch put his hands in his sleeves and looked up at Duan Lang viciously. No one noticed that Lord Huai, who was arrested in the city, actually mixed into the team announcing the decree. And Fu Lin, the eunuch of the old people's home who arranged for him to enter the proclamation team, had been beheaded by Lord Huai in his bedroom before leaving the palace.

Inside the car, the bright moon closed her eyes and began to plan the future of the capital. Little did she know that a poisonous snake was staring at her. When the right time comes, this venomous snake will wait for the opportunity.
