Outside Huining City, in the camp of the court army, He Lianjia and Yan Facheng looked at Duan Lang and Li Jianshan outside the camp, and the two of them also had some difficulties in their hearts.

After all, the relationship between the two sides is friend and foe, and as the commander of the enemy army, he actually came to their camp alone, and if he won or killed them in one fell swoop, it would be a great merit. From the perspective of the entire battle situation, even if these 50,000 soldiers and horses are wiped out, it is worth it in exchange for one Duan Lang.

He Lianjia sighed and said, "Boss Yan, this kid is confused, it will be difficult for you and me to do it when he comes." These 50,000 horses are not related to you and me, once someone reports it secretly, we can't afford this crime. ”

"Lao He, this kid Duan Lang is not a reckless person, something must have happened to him. Leave nothing else to worry about and ask about the situation. He ordered his own troops to protect both flanks of the tent, and no one was to approach them. ”

Yan Facheng gave an order, ordered someone to open the wooden gate of the camp, and welcomed Duan Lang in.

Looking at Duan Lang's grim face, He Lianjia said, "Duan Lang, you shouldn't come here. ”

"Brother He, we have to talk about it here, or go to the big tent to talk in detail." Duan Lang asked.

Yan Facheng clenched his fists and said, "Duan Lang, brother Jianshan, please come inside." ”

Li Jianshan felt that the atmosphere in the camp was a little tense, and said to Duan Lang, "I'm still waiting outside the tent, General Yan, Lord He, we are here with sincerity, I hope you can talk calmly." ”

Duan Lang understood what Li Jianshan meant, and he was guarding outside the tent, so he could warn in advance in case of an accident. He Lianjia didn't force it, and accompanied Duan Lang into the big tent. Yan Facheng looked at the left and right pro-soldiers, hinted at it, and turned around and walked into the big tent.

Inside the tent, He Lianjia frowned and said, "Duan Lang, why are you so confused. As a manager, do you know how much you weigh? If I take you down, I'm afraid the whole battle situation can change. ”

Duan Lang looked at the two of them and sneered, "This is an opportunity, if you miss it, don't regret it." ”

Yan Facheng said, "Duan Lang, you are trapping us both in an unkind and unjust manner. Ordering you to be arrested, conscience and morality cannot pass. If I don't order you to be arrested, we can't afford the charges of the court. However, since you dare to come alone, there should be important matters to discuss. Say, what's wrong? ”

Duan Lang nodded, "General Yan is worthy of being a famous general in my Great Xia, and he has a lot of experience in the battlefield. Yes, there was indeed an accident with the soldiers and horses in my capital city, so Duan Lang had to send troops in advance. How about you, can you two think about it? ”

"Something unexpected? What is the current situation of the Great Xia War? He Lianjia hurriedly asked.

He Lianjia and Yan Facheng had 50,000 troops here, but they lost contact with Prince Hong and others. Since they sent troops to Huining City, they have not received any instructions from Prince Hong. Although the two reported the situation, they never replied. Therefore, the situation in the world has been kept in the dark.

Duan Lang looked at He Lianjia, "Brother He, according to the information I have, the current court army is in danger. The army of Prince Chenghong suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, it was able to contain the soldiers and horses of Nanping. However, I can't think about it for long. The accident I am talking about, not to be concealed from the two of you, is that the soldiers and horses led by my wife have temporarily lost contact. Therefore, tomorrow I will lead a large army to open Chengyang Mansion. Before leaving, I had to get an accurate answer. Otherwise, I don't have to worry about your 50,000 soldiers and horses. Although there are not many people, they can cut off my food and grass. I Duan Lang absolutely cannot agree with this. ”

"Duan Lang, didn't Li Jianshan say a few days ago that your shadow artist hiding in Kyoto secretly transferred our family members? How is it, have you left Beijing safely? If you leave safely, I will order the defense to be withdrawn and the army will be handed over to you Duan Lang. Yan Facheng said.

Duan Lang's face showed a difficult look, "I can't hide it, I already gave an order ten days ago. But this will take time, and no concrete response has been received yet. However, I believe that I will succeed in bringing out the two families in Beijing. ”

"No news?" Yan Facheng's face became a little gloomy, "Duan Lang, before I, Yan Facheng, came to Huining City, I put life and death aside. The family does not leave home in Kyoto for a day, and there is really nothing they can do about it. Even if they die in battle, at least they can still be left with a way to live. Once the matter is revealed and Delong is killed, what is the point of Yan living alone. ”

He Lianjia also smiled bitterly, "Duan Lang, what Lao Yan said is good. Prince Hong dared to send us here, and he also valued this point. ”

Duan Lang was a little angry in his heart, and said in a suppressed manner, "General Yan, Brother He, I have said everything that should be said, as for whether you believe it or not, I am not reluctant." Before receiving specific information, I really dare not guarantee anything. But if I can trust Duan Lang, I will try my best to do all this. ”

Yan Facheng and He Lianjia looked at each other, and their hearts were very complicated. Logically speaking, they were unwilling to be enemies of Duan Lang. But as a general of Great Xia, disobedience is a great crime of extermination. In this case, it is really difficult for the two to give a clear answer.

He Lianjia thought for a moment and asked, "Duan Lang, the people of Great Xia have suffered from the disaster of war, in your opinion, is the Great Xia royal family really coming to an end?" ”

"Brother He, General Yan, I believe that with the eyes of the two of you, you should be able to see the current situation clearly. To tell the truth, Prince Hong's most powerful soldiers and horses have been taken away by Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun to avoid the war. They didn't do this to preserve their strength, this kind of disobedience was a very serious crime, and the two of them must have seen their intentions. In addition, the people were indifferent to the looting of the court, and Delong had lost the hearts of the people. The twenty-three cities and county capitals of Great Xia are about to declare their allegiance to our capital city. Two generals, even if there is no Nanping and Xiyue, how long do you think Delong can hold out? ”

Yan Facheng and He Lianjia were shocked in their hearts, and Yan Facheng asked, "Duan Lang, what you said is true?" ”

"General Yan, have I Duan Lang ever joked about major matters? Jiang Zhuming in Molan City, Zhang Guangzhi in Xiadu Mansion, they were originally my people. ”

"No way, they are Yu Ban's protégés, and they should hate you to the core." Yan Facheng looked at Duan Lang in surprise.

Duan Lang sneered, "They are entrusted by the forbidden deathbed, and they have been secretly in close contact with me all these years. At present, Yu Ban's family members are all in Molan City, not only him, but also Pang Gang Fancheng, who also have a home there. As long as I Duan Lang raised his arms, these people were about to announce their departure from the court. ”

The two looked at Duan Lang in amazement, they believed that what Duan Lang said was true. This is not a child's play, and if it is a lie, it will be ridiculed. As far as the current situation is concerned, Duan Lang does not need to use this kind of lie to elevate himself.

Yan Facheng gritted his teeth secretly and asked, "Duan Lang, I don't know how long it will take to transfer our family?" ”

"It's hard to say, because I don't know the current situation in Kyoto. But I promise that it will be a month at the latest, or ten days at the earliest, and it should be able to do so. But I also said the ugly things in front, the two have many relatives and dependents, so they can only be transferred little by little. If it's too obvious, I'm afraid it will make the Heavenly Prison Courtyard notice. ”

Yan Facheng looked at He Lianjia, and then said, "As long as my wife and children can be evacuated safely, I, Yan Facheng, have no worries." Lao He, take a gamble, there is no hope for Da Xia, it is better to follow Duan Lang to do it vigorously. ”

He Lianjia hesitated for a moment, "However, there are still five thousand commanders and more than a dozen standard commanders in this battalion, and if you want them to follow, it is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two." ”

Yan Facheng's face turned grim, "As long as you Lao He agrees, leave this matter to me." ”

Duan Lang looked at Yan Facheng in surprise, he didn't expect Yan Facheng's determination to far exceed He Lianjia, who had been friends with him for many years. As long as Yan Facheng is willing to take refuge, Duan Lang believes that he will have a way. Yan Facheng has a very high prestige as a famous general in Great Xia, and he has a lot of means to rectify soldiers and horses, and He Lianjia is far from him in this regard.

He Lianjia hesitated, and finally nodded, "Duan Lang, our family members have all been handed over to you, I hope you can keep your promise." ”

"Brother He, rest assured, he will do his best to do this."

"Duan Lang, there's still time to spare. I will immediately send my cronies to Yixiang City, and say that our army has been broken up by you. This time and again, even if the court finds out the truth, I am afraid it will take more than a month. I hope that during this time, we and our families can be evacuated safely. Yan Facheng said.

Duan Lang hugged his fists, "The two of you can rest assured, you will never deal with hypocrisy." Since the two of them agreed to come down, then they will go back and prepare to send people to receive soldiers and horses. Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will send to Chengyang Mansion. ”

Yan Facheng also hugged his fists, "Duan Shuai, please go back, after finishing the soldiers and horses, immediately remove the defense and wait for receiving." ”

Duan Lang breathed a sigh of relief, being able to subdue these 50,000 soldiers and horses without bloodshed was the best ending for Duan Lang. From then on, there was no one in the court who had fellowship, and he could let go of his hands and feet. Don't look at the back then, Wu Guangguang also sent the Tengjia Guard to help Duan Lang, but now that he is a prime minister, he has already completely broken with Lidu City.

Duan Lang walked out of the big tent, looking at Duan Lang's relaxed expression, Li Jianshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them hugged their fists and said goodbye, and many people in the camp who were secretly watching were nervous and puzzled, but they did not dare to move without a military order.

Above the head of Huining City, Wang Fuzhong and other generals saw Duan Lang return safely, and immediately burst into cheers. Duan Lang immediately ordered Lu Zhengshan and Geng Zhishan to prepare to receive soldiers and horses, and temporarily organize them into the infantry camp.

Yan Facheng deserves to be a prestigious veteran of Great Xia, and after he killed two thousand presidents with his hot hands, no one dared to stand up against it. Yan Facheng delivered a speech with high passion, inspiring 50,000 soldiers and horses to follow Duan Lang to do a great job. Perhaps, among these people, someone will become the founding general in the future. The bright prospect combined with the current situation caused these young people to erupt in a gambling howl.

The court camp removed the defense of rejecting horses, and He Lianjia and Yan Facheng put on a welcoming formation, officially submitting to the formation of Duan Lang's army. There was cheering inside and outside the city, and Duan Lang ordered the camp to cook meat in a cauldron to welcome the new army to join.

Early the next morning, Duan Lang asked He Lianjia to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses back to Wuliang City to help Cui Zhiliang garrison. The others rushed to the direction of Chengyang Mansion.

Just when Duan Lang received Yan Fa Chenghe's increased army, in Chengyang Mansion, Tangtai Mingyue was also interrogating Zheng Zechang. He did not escape, and was surrounded by Zhang Qifeng and his men and horses less than five miles out of the city. In order not to cause panic among other merchants in the city, he was taken back to the mansion by Gu Fan after nightfall.

Yutai Mingyue looked at Zheng Zechang with cold eyes, and Zhang Ruming, who had recovered a little strength, also leaned on a recliner and looked at Zheng Zechang with a pout.

"Boy, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be alive. Paralyzed, your bowl of wine made Lao Tzu eat less meat. Say! Who sent you, Delong, or Zhang Zhao's bastard. Zhang Ruming scolded with a faint breath.

Zheng Zechang's face was calm, and when it came to this job, it was too late to regret it. Anyway, it's a death, it's better to be a hero. Seeing that Zheng Zechang didn't speak, Gu Fan stepped forward and stabbed into the bone gap of Zheng Zechang's ankle, Zheng Zechang screamed in pain, and his face suddenly turned sallow.

Yutai Mingyue snorted coldly, "If you want to persevere, this military division doesn't have time to play with you." But I just met a bee picker who was interested in all kinds of poisons and needed someone to test them. This military advisor promises that within 100 days, you will try all kinds of poisons, snake venom, ant venom, including all wriggling things, and you will know what life is better than death. ”

Zheng Zechang trembled, not to mention letting him test the poison, it was Gu Fan's ingenious knife just now, which made him a little unbearable.

"Adult~ I said~ I said it all, but I am willing to ask the adult to take the life of the little one." Zheng Zechang no longer insisted, he knew that he couldn't be a hero, so he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Spare your life? Then see if you have that value. However, as long as you say it frankly, this military division promises to give you a good time. However, if you dare to deceive your own division, the end will be even more tragic. This military advisor will let you taste the torture before testing the poison. ”

"Don't dare~ The little ones don't dare. Adults ~ small ones are also acting on orders, and they dare not do nothing. Zheng Zechang said tremblingly.

These years of businessman career have long made Zheng Zechang forget the hard training of the Investigation and Defense Division back then. The small punishment suddenly made his heart collapse. Zheng Zechang didn't dare to imagine those tortures, he would rather have a good time than die.

"On whose orders? Say it! Gu Fan shouted angrily.

"Yes ~ it's our Pavilion Master ~ Mr. Sa."

"Listen to the Wind Pavilion ~ Sado?" Yutai Mingyue stood up suddenly.

"Yes~ it's him."

"What about others? Is it still in your house? Yutai Mingyue hurriedly asked.

Yutai Mingyuexin said that it was no wonder that the poisoning method was so clever, it turned out to be this old guy. She had seen the interrogation records of Sado's filmmakers back then, she loved the house and Wu, and the moon also hated Sado very much. If Sado can be captured alive, it can be regarded as a wish of Duan Lang and Master Han Feng.

"He~ he was also taken back to the mansion by you, that is~ my old coachman." Zheng Zechang said tremblingly.

Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the coachman detained?" ”

Gu Fan said, "It's on the side of the stable, and there are two guards guarding it. ”

"It's not good, go to the stable, this person is proficient in poison and disguise, don't let this guy escape."

As soon as Mingyue's voice fell, Gu Fan quickly rushed out. Mingyue ordered the interrogation to continue, and she, Liu Xi and the others also quickly rushed to the stables of the mansion. No one would have imagined that the dignified second pavilion master of the Tingfeng Pavilion would actually disguise himself as an old horseman and follow him out of the city. If it weren't for the fact that Yutai Mingyue was worried about the leakage and ordered them all to be brought back, maybe Sado would have been let go a long time ago.

Yutai Mingyue came to the stable, but found that Gu Fan and the others were searching around. The two guards, however, fell to the ground with black faces.

Yutai Mingyue looked around, and Gu Fan stepped forward and said, "Master Strategist, no one else was found in the stable, and the groom guarding the stable was also poisoned. ”

"Quick, send someone to protect Lord Shangguan, no one is allowed to approach. Liu Xige Li immediately led people to block all the entrance doors of the government and asked if anyone was going out. Xia Lei, immediately inform Lord Liang to come to me. Jin was truthful and mobilized all the guards in the government to search with all his might. This old guy is proficient in medicine and poison, but he doesn't know martial arts, so he should still be in the mansion. ”

After the order was completed, everyone immediately took action. After a while, Liang Yi came to the backyard. Knowing the specific situation, Liang Yi couldn't help but be taken aback. Liu Xi sent someone to inform him that after they captured Zheng Zechang, the gate of the mansion was closed, and no one entered or left. Jin Rushi also sent people to check the tall walls of the mansion, and found no traces of ropes and other traces. Moreover, Jin Rushi ordered people to guard the four walls to prevent people from climbing over.

Yutai Mingyue firmly believed that Na Sado was still hiding in the mansion, and immediately asked Liang Yi to order all the personnel to gather in the open space in the front yard, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would find Sado.

Although the mansion of Chengyang Mansion is not very large, it is also two large courtyards in front and back, plus four small courtyards connected to the left and right. It's harder to really search. Moreover, there are many miscellaneous servants in the Fuzhong family, and Sado is proficient in disguise, and each subordinate must be carefully identified.

Tangtai Mingyue immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Qifeng to mobilize troops and horses to come, she knew that the existing guards in the mansion were insufficient, and Xiangtian also took some secrets to infiltrate Zheng Zechang's mansion. Except for the people who blocked the surrounding walls and protected her and Zhang Ruming, the remaining guards may not be able to find Sado. Tai Mingyue didn't dare to take it lightly, this person is good at using poison, if he doesn't catch this person, I'm afraid that eating and drinking will be a problem.

Just when the guards went to ask for reinforcements to surround the mansion, in the room of the old governor Zhao Peide, Sado was staring at Zhao Peide's corpse with cold eyes, took out a sharp knife, and carefully peeled off Zhao Peide's face.

Zhao Peide, as the governor of the mansion, is also Liang Yi's most trusted chief manager, and he has his own exclusive bedroom in the mansion. Sado has been in Chengyang Mansion for a long time, and he has long understood the layout of the palace. After killing the stable guard, he knew that only this Zhao Peide might be able to get out of the mansion at present. Don't look at Sado's lack of martial arts, but there are many ways to kill people. Before you know it, you can poison people and fall into a coma. It should also be good luck for Sado, these days are busy, and Zhao Peide has been living in the mansion. After poisoning Zhao Peide, Sado immediately used his tactics to prepare for disguise.

The castanets of the assembly sounded in the house, and the servants and officials were woken up in their sleep. People walked out of the room and assembled in the open space in the front yard.

As soon as a few people in the back kitchen came out, they saw the governor 'Zhao Peide' coming towards them.

"My lord, what's wrong?" A subordinate asked respectfully.

Sado, who was disguised as Zhao Peide, was pale, this kind of veneer couldn't last long, and he didn't have to leave as soon as possible.

"Don't ask, you guys, grab the bucket and come with me." Sado commanded.

Several subordinates didn't understand what the situation was, but Zhao Peide was the chief manager of the house, and he didn't dare not listen to his words.

With his head down, Sado led several young men with buckets to the back door. The back door was being guarded by Gree, and when he saw someone coming, Gree asked loudly.

"Stop, the mansion is closed, what are you doing?" Gree looked at the crowd alertly.

Saduo coughed, "In Xia Zhao Peide, just now Lord Liang said that the assassin who poisoned Lord Shangguan had infiltrated the mansion, and he was afraid that the well water would be poisoned, so he asked Zai Xia to go out with the kitchen staff to fetch some clean water." Who are you? ”

Ge Li raised the lantern and looked at it, and under the dim light, Zhao Peide's face looked gloomy and pale. Ge Li had seen him and knew that this person was the most powerful person in Chengyang Mansion after Liang Yi.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhao, and below is the military division's personal guard entourage Ge Li, who is guarding here on the order of my military advisor. Lord Zhao, you better wait until dawn before going out. ”

"It turned out to be one of the eighteen guards, and he admired the daimyo for a long time. I don't care, but Lord Liang said that Lord Shangguan has just come out of danger, and he is afraid that there is a shortage of water on his side. Since it's an order from the military advisor, let's wait. Sado said with a desire to catch up.

As soon as he heard this, Ge Li was really afraid that the doctor needed to apply medicine with water. Sado's words are very realistic, and Gree also knows that Sado is proficient in the use of drugs. What's more, this Zhao Peide is a trustworthy person, and going out to fetch water is not something that violates principles.

"Since it's Lord Liang's order, are all of these people familiar to Lord Zhao?" Gree asked, looking at a few of his subordinates.

"Don't worry, Zhao is very familiar, I don't dare to take strangers out."

Ge Li held the lantern and looked at it carefully, and found that these were all young people, even if Sado changed his appearance, it was impossible for him to become a young man, let alone a familiar person.

"Someone, open the door, Lord Zhao, please."

The backyard door opened, and Gree got out of the way. Sado secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back at several of his subordinates, and walked forward. Just as Sado raised his foot and was about to take a step, Gree suddenly shouted.

"Wait~!" Gree said, walking towards Sado with his waist knife in hand.

Sado was shocked, and his right hand quietly clenched the handkerchief. There was poison powder hidden in the handkerchief, and as long as it was spread out in the wind, it could at least poison the person. Saduoxin said that he had to pull a cushion when he was dying, although the other party was not very important, but he was also one of the famous eighteen slashes.
