Hou Ye took the little guy to travel lightly, and went out of the city very smoothly, the two rode horses and ran for a while, Hou Ye stopped the horse, and the little guy wondered: "Hou Ye, why did you stop?" ”

Hou Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Ben Hou thought about it, we can't all go back to Taiyuan, otherwise what will happen here, Ben Hou doesn't know about Taiyuan, Lin Yi, you stay in Cloud City to preside over the news of Zhao Ziliang and the Shou Capture Mansion, and wait for the opportunity to buy the people who guard the Capture Mansion, close to Xiao Jiong's side, once he has the intention of betraying Ben Hou, you must immediately send someone to warn him and send someone to report to Ben Hou at any time!" ”

"Okay, Master Hou!"

Hou Ye told him again before beating the horse away, and the little maid named Lin Yi turned around and returned to Cloud City.

Guarding the house in the clouds.

It has been two days since Xiao Jiong was invited to the Detention Mansion, Xiao Jiong thought at first that Zhao Ziliang was just scaring and scaring him because he led people to trespass into the military camp, but he didn't expect that two days had passed, Zhao Ziliang had not come to see him once, and he couldn't leave a step in the backyard of the Guarding Mansion when he was grounded, and he began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

Xiao Jiong decided to test how much Zhao Ziliang knew, whether Zhang Yulin and the other four had confessed, and only when he knew Zhao Ziliang's hole cards could he act well, so he walked towards the front hall of the Guard's Mansion, but two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the backyard stopped him.

"Lord Xiao, it's windy ahead, it's better for you to stay in the backyard and rest!" One of the soldiers said.

Xiao Jiong's face changed, "Get out of the way, this official wants to see Zhao Ziliang!" ”

"I'm really sorry, Lord Xiao, my general went to the barracks, not in the Detention Mansion!"

"That officer went to look for him in the barracks!" Xiao Jiong said that he was about to bypass the soldier and walk into the front yard.

The soldier immediately stopped him and said, "Lord Xiao, don't go, it's very chaotic outside now, your status is noble, if something happens, the villain can't afford it, you can pity us!" ”

"You ・・・・・・ get out of here, the official has something to say to Zhao Ziliang, what do you mean by keeping the official here?"

Xiao Bing had a bitter face: "My lord, when my general left, he repeatedly told me to wait, don't neglect the adults, don't let the adults go out, because it's very dangerous outside, so adults, don't embarrass the little ones, it's not easy for the villains to beg for food!" ”

Xiao Jiong smiled angrily: "Okay, good, Zhao Ziliang is clever, he obviously imprisoned the official here, but he put on a good appearance for the official, a good means!" With that, he turned around and went back to the backyard.

There is no need to see Zhao Ziliang, Xiao Jiong has already speculated through the conversation with the guards just now that someone among the four people including Zhang Yulin must have confessed to him, but although Zhao Ziliang is the mastermind behind the scenes, he has not found evidence yet, so he can only use house arrest to temporarily restrict his freedom, deprive him of his rights, and separate him from the energy he can mobilize.

"No, this official can't stay here and wait for death, he has to find a way to get out!" Xiao Jiong whispered to himself in the room under house arrest.

In the barracks, Zhao Ziliang was watching the drills of the Yunzhong Army, the Yunzhong Army can be regarded as a relatively elite Tang Army, Zhao Ziliang has already understood this, and he has never slacked off in the drills, which actually makes Zhao Ziliang feel very strange, the middle and high-level are rotten, but the lower levels still maintain a good style, no matter what, it feels a little hard to believe, but this is the truth.

"General!" Gao Shang walked over and bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to see that it was noble, and asked, "Is there any progress in the interrogation?" ”

Gao Shang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Gao Yaohui said that he only knew that Xiao Jiong was behind them, but he didn't have Xiao Jiong any handle in his hands, and the things on the accounts were generally done by Chen Hekun and Xiao Jiong, and the other three couldn't intervene, so the lower officials raided and interrogated Chen Hekun, Chen Hekun was cunning and resolute, and this person knew that he and others were only afraid of inevitable death, so he refused to speak, it is possible that Xiao Jiong pinched his handle and threatened him with something, so he didn't dare to speak. Gao Yaohui also confessed that he felt that there should be a big man behind Xiao Jiong, but he didn't know who this person was, but he said that he just felt it, and he didn't confirm whether there was another mastermind behind Xiao Jiong, he wasn't sure.

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang touched his short beard and said with a smile: "If there is really another big man behind Xiao Jiong, this matter will be interesting!" ”

Gao Shang said: "General, if you want to find out everything about this gang, judging from the current situation, you can start from two aspects, one is to continue to interrogate Zhang Yulin and the other four, and the other is to start from Xiao Jiong, and learn from his mouth about the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "You are right!" ”

At this time, a servant came over and whispered a few words to Brehan, Brehan nodded, came to Zhao Ziliang's side and arched his hand: "General, Xiao Jiong fell to the ground in the backyard of the Capture Mansion and screamed that his stomach hurts!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned when he heard this, and asked, "What did you give him food at noon?" ”

"Green vegetable tofu and rabbit meat, nothing else!"

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and asked Gao Shang: "Do you think eating these things will hurt your stomach?" ”

Gao Shang shook his head and said, "Even if a person who is physically ill eats these kinds of food, he will be fine, why does he have abdominal pain?" Could it be that someone is drugged again? This is impossible, since the poisoning of people in the prison a few days ago, the general has issued a strict order to strictly monitor the cooking and delivery of food, and no one dares to commit crimes against the wind, unless ・・・・・・."

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What did Master Gao think of?" ”

"Unless he's pretending!"

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, there is really such a possibility, now that Xiao Jiong is under house arrest, he definitely doesn't want to wait for death, so the only way out is to find someone to rescue him or find a way to escape by himself, and if you want to achieve these two goals, the prerequisite is that you must contact the people outside the house, pretending to be sick is a good way, so that you can contact Langzhong.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang affirmed the noble speculation, "Lord Gao is right, unless he is pretending, it seems that he wants to convey the news through Lang Zhong to find someone to save him?" ”

Gao Shang said: "There is this possibility! If that's the case, general, we might as well come up with a trick and see who Xiao Jiong wants to contact! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and instructed Brohan: "Immediately ask Xiao Jiong to see a doctor!" Strictly adhere to Xiao Jiong and Lang Zhong! Report the situation immediately! ”

"No!"

Regaining control of the Yunzhong Army has completed more than half of Zhao Ziliang's mission, and finding out Xiao Jiong's gang is just incidental, he didn't expect that this matter would dig out Xiao Jiong, the No. 2 person in Hedong, this is the effect of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, raising the combat effectiveness of the Yunzhong Army to a higher level, and making it like an arm, this is what Zhao Ziliang should do most, as for whether he can find out whether the real mastermind behind Xiao Jiong really exists is not very important to him, if he can really find out, That's just a windfall, and it doesn't necessarily win people.

Wu Tiande commanded the Yunzhong Army to practice a few formations and then paused, letting the various units of the army rest in place, and he came over and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "General, please comment!" ”

Wu Tiande has been ordered by Zhao Ziliang to be released, and the official has been reinstated, Wu Tiande's ability is definitely not good, but Zhao Ziliang is not good at taking him out of the position of the guard and capture now, this will give people the impression of cronyism, and Wu Tiande was appointed by Tian Renwan, if you want to take out Wu Tiande, at least you have to discuss with Tian Renwan, after thinking about it, Zhao Ziliang still decided to temporarily leave Wu Tiande in the position of the envoy, but Wu Tiande is obviously not a qualified general, Zhao Ziliang also had to find him a good deputy, Gao Xiuyan was ordered by Zhao Ziliang to be transferred from the fourth battalion of the Datong Army to serve as Wu Tiande's deputy envoy, and the transfer order should have been sent to Yunzhou at this time.

Zhao Ziliang commented on the drills of the soldiers of the Yunzhong Army, he believes that the soldiers of the Yunzhong Army are skilled in formation drills and have high morale, but the combat effectiveness can be further improved, if the soldiers can fully trust the new generals, the combat effectiveness of the Yunzhong Army will be immediately improved, these words are not only reminding the soldiers to trust the new generals, but also reminding the new generals to find a way to gain the trust of the soldiers as soon as possible.

After commenting, Wu Tiande ordered each battalion owner to lead the team to practice and communicate with the soldiers below, and he was called by Zhao Ziliang.

"General!" Wu Tiande walked over and greeted him.

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Well, General Wu, the other officials and generals of the Guarding Mansion have all appointed newcomers, but the position of Deputy Envoy is still vacant, and General Ben will transfer you with a general with outstanding ability, what do you think?" ”

Wu Tiande also escaped death this time, and he was also grateful to Zhao Ziliang, although he sat in the position of the envoy in the clouds, but after he came, he also knew that his ability was not enough to be qualified for this position, otherwise he would not be overlooked by Zhang Yulin and others, Zhao Ziliang said that he wanted to find him a capable general, although he was not happy in his heart, he had no way to object, neither able to oppose nor want to object.

"Everything is up to the general, after the new deputy envoy arrives, the last general will definitely have a good relationship with him, manage the defense in the clouds like an iron pass, and train the army in the clouds to increase its combat power!"

Zhao Ziliang nodded with a smile and expressed his appreciation for Wu Tiande's sworn assurance, in fact, he was very disapproving, there have never been few second-in-command and first-in-command who can have a good relationship, because the second-in-command is always worried about the position of the first-in-command, and the first-in-command wants to climb up hard, but also always guard against the second-in-command snatching his position and squeezing him down.
