Because of the assassination of Feng Ziming's camp, Hu Zhi and Sima Yu were full of thoughts, sitting in the distance, silent, thinking about the problems in their hearts.

"Report ...... Lord Captain, there is an emergency report in the camp in the north of the city! ”

Just as he was pondering whether he had missed all his actions in Juye City, the voice of the guards came from outside the study again.

"North of the city? Oh no, Lord Lieutenant, it's our barracks! QuickPass! Sima Yu's face immediately changed, and he said urgently. Even Hu Zhi, who was originally unimpressed, was surprised by the impatient expression on Sima Yu's face, Sima Yu has always been unhurried, but he didn't expect that now his face was pale and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

"Mr. Sima? What are you? Hu Zhi asked in surprise while asking the guards outside the house to call in the people from the Beida Camp.

"Lord Duwei, don't forget, the previous movement of the Fengziming camp in the south of the city!" Sima Yu took a deep breath and said slowly.

"You mean, Feng Ziming will do something to our military camp? No way! Hu Zhi's face changed slightly, and then he was relieved again. The mobilization of the army, from the south of the city to the north of the city, it is impossible to hide from his eyes. In order to monitor the movements of Feng Ziming's department, he sent more than 100 spies to monitor day and night. The previous anomaly was the news that these spies had found out in a very short period of time.

Sima Yu frowned, and said, "Lord Duwei, it is indeed unlikely that Feng Ziming's department will do it, but I'm talking about assassins!" Feng Ziming's battalion was assassinated before, is it possible that it will be our turn? The assassination of the captain of Feng Ziming's battalion was obviously not done by us. The Captain didn't send someone to do that, did he? ”

Hu Zhi was stunned for a moment and said: "No, I thought about it, but this Feng Ziming stayed in the barracks every day and didn't come out, and he wanted to move him, it's difficult!" Are you saying that there is another force in Juye City that we don't know about? Hu Zhi, who suddenly came to his senses, frowned.

"Yes! Feng Ziming's department has been assassinated, who dares to guarantee that we won't? If we and Feng Ziming's department are opposed to each other because of this, then the forces in the dark will have a chance to take advantage of it. Of course, this is also my guess, the people from the camp in the north of the city will arrive soon, and you will know as soon as you ask. ”

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a panicked face walked in quickly.

Seeing each other's faces, Hu Zhi and Sima Yu's faces suddenly became gloomy, it seems that something has happened.

"Two adults, something is wrong!" The middle-aged man knelt directly in front of Hu Zhi and cried out sadly.

"Xin Yang, make it clear! What's going on? Hu Zhi's face turned dark and he said coldly.

"Lord Hui, Captain Weng Tong Weng and Captain Liu Heliu were attacked before, and they have all been killed! In the camp, people are flustered, and the dragons are leaderless! Xin Yang said urgently.

"Who did that?" Hu Zhi's tone was extremely cold!

"My subordinates don't know! However, the opponent acted fiercely, quickly and orderly, and more importantly, the opponent had a large number of crossbow arrows, although they did not get the opponent's crossbow, but according to our inspection from the crossbow arrows, this crossbow arrow should be owned by the guards. Except for the guards of the imperial court, the local armies did not have this configuration. Xin Yang said 1510. The weapons of the Guards, like the current Xiaoguo Army, have their own numbers. In particular, sharp things like crossbow arrows definitely have their own numbers and cannot be lost. Of course, the current guards are not so strict because of the loss in recent years. However, the jurisdiction of this crossbow is still relatively strict.

"How did the Assassins infiltrate your camp? Lord Commander has a strict order, prohibiting soldiers from coming and going casually, let alone strangers. Sima Yu asked in a fixed voice. Their military camp is different from Feng Ziming, Feng Ziming went to several wealthy businessmen in Shanyang Mansion tonight to collect donations and deliver materials to thank them, and specially set up a banquet in the military camp to thank them. But the barracks are different, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

"This ...... This ......" Xin Yang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

Hu Zhi, who was already on fire in his chest, saw Xin Yang like this, and immediately kicked him on the shoulder, and shouted angrily: "Say! I want to know the details of what this is all about. ”

Xin Ming immediately went over the matter of the two leading lieutenants raising women outside the camp, and at the same time also talked about it before and after the attack on nearly 10,000 people.

"Two, damn it!" Hu Zhiqi's words were almost out of words.

"Damn, at this critical juncture, I don't know how important it is. However, it is not the time to die, and you can't die at the hands of others! Sima Yu's face was cloudy.

"Xin Yang, immediately give an order to the ten lieutenants, take care of your subordinates, if anyone's subordinates make trouble, they will be ready to get out. Also, the barracks are blocked, and you are not allowed to come and go at will without my military order. Hu Zhi said coldly.

"My subordinates understand!"

"Mr. Sima, what should I do now?" Hu Zhi was a little busy. He has been a little troubled by two things in the past 10,000 years, and he knows that if one is not good, he may lose it all.

Sima Yu thought for a moment and said, "Now, we haven't figured out what this is going on, so let's brake quietly." Now, the most important thing is the actions of Feng Ziming's department. Half of his lieutenants were killed, and he must have a next move. In any case, we must put ourselves aside from this assassination. In addition, contact the 2,000 garrisons in the city and let them defend the city. Let's see, tomorrow, Feng Ziming should take action.

"Damn it! The two leading lieutenants under our command were killed, and the army was scattered, and if it really came to an end, it would be extremely disadvantageous to us. Hu Zhi couldn't help but scold angrily.

"Don't worry, Lord Duwei, if he Feng Ziming is not a stupid person, he should know that this assassin is not sent by us. Besides, what benefits can he get by fighting with us? If you really want to fight us, then it's nothing, and in the end, the black cauldron of the frontline rout will throw him and Ye Xuan. One is unfavorable in combat, the other is in internal chaos, and there is no food and grass on the front line. It's just like this......" Sima Yu also began to prepare for the worst.

The camp in the south of the city, the handsome tent of the Fengzi Ming Department.

"Everything is arranged?" Feng Ziming sat there, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked Zhao Xun who had just come in unhurriedly.

"It's arranged, and a few rich businessmen have already rested. The Assassins were also chosen from among the most heinous mountain bandits, and they were all innocent of the dead. ”

The assassination of Feng Ziming's camp is naturally self-directed and self-acted. It is also true that five lieutenants were killed. It's just that three of these five lieutenants were former subordinates of Feng Ziming, because they had always been disobedient to Zhao Xun. The other two, according to investigation, are also Xu Jie's people. So, take this opportunity to deal with them. As for the assassins, they were naturally the bandits captured by Zhao Xun's subordinates, and they were the kind of people who committed the most heinous crimes.

The whole thing was only known to Zhao Xun, Feng Ziming and Zhao Xun's cronies, and the others thought that this place was really assassinated.

"Since you killed the two captains on the other side, why do you want to kill the five of them?" Feng Ziming frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun smiled: "If you want Shanyang Mansion to be unsafe, then leave them." At this moment, the situation is extraordinary, and everything we do is like walking a tightrope in mid-air, and the slightest negligence will stop everything. Lord Feng, don't forget, the battle in the north is still going on, and Ye Xuan still has nearly 30,000 troops in his hands. Even if we take control of Shanyang Mansion, we still have to guard against Ye Xuan and the Tang army to the north. I had to, I needed to combine all the forces I could muster. ”

Feng Ziming smiled indifferently and said: "What the Metropolitan Governor said also makes sense, originally, in my thoughts, these people can't be kept, I originally thought of expelling them from the camp, but it's just ......"

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Lord Feng, you are a civilian official, and you don't know about military affairs. If so, with us, nothing should be underestimated. Letting one enemy go today may cost hundreds or even thousands of soldiers their lives next time. ”

"Lord Feng, we need to challenge Hu Zhi tomorrow, at the very least, we need to meet with him to discuss the assassination." Then, Zhao Xun said the next step.

"Where is the location requirement?"

"Inside the city!" Zhao Xun said unhurriedly.

"In the city?" Feng Ziming frowned slightly, and said, "That's Hu Zhi's home field!" ”

"It is because it is Ho Chi's home turf that we can cut off Ho Chi's vigilance. When Ye Xuan appears, the two thousand army in the city will not be a problem. ”

"How should Sima Yu in the Governor's Mansion be arranged!"

"When we talked to Hu Zhi, Sima Yu had already been killed!"

"You've infiltrated the Governor's Mansion?" Feng Ziming said in surprise.

"It's not me, it's Ye Xuan! Don't forget, Ye Xuan used to be the lord of Shanyang Mansion, whether it was the Governor's Mansion or the Assassin's Mansion, Ye Xuan was more familiar with him. You wouldn't think that Ye Xuan didn't even have a little backhand, right? ”

"I see, so to speak, the matter is basically under your control! The lord of the Xiaoguo Army really lives up to his name! Feng Ziming couldn't help but sigh.

"Prizes! By the way, I have good news for you, your family has left Yanzhou City and is heading here. If nothing else, you'll be able to meet them in three days! Zhao Xun said lightly.

"Really? That's great! When I see my family, I will serve the Grand Duke!" Feng Ziming said happily.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Not only to serve me, but also to seek a way to live for the people of Shanyang Mansion." I hope that Lord Feng can run Sanyang Mansion well, after all, when it comes to internal affairs, there is no one more suitable than Lord Feng. ”

Feng Ziming nodded, he knew that the meaning of Zhao Xun's words was not that Zhao Xun did not have an official who dealt with civil affairs in his hands, but that his Feng Ziming's identity was the most suitable to take over the government affairs of Shanyang Mansion.

Governor's Mansion.

"As Mr. Sima expected, this Feng Ziming sent us a notice to discuss the assassination with us!" As soon as it was dawn, Hu Zhi, who had dark circles under his eyes, was waiting with Sima Yu in the study.

When Sima Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said, "Fortunately, it seems that this Feng Ziming also knows that the assassination must be someone else." He didn't want anyone else to take advantage of him. By the way, where is the place of the peace talks? ”

His words, in order to show his sincerity, were in the city. However, they will lead a large army to be stationed outside the southern city. In other words, if there is an accident, an army of 10,000 will be killed! ”

"Huh? And for good reason. Promise them! It just so happens that we also need to know if they found anything in their assassination. Now that they have made concessions, we have also made concessions. The place of peace talks is in the Yanyu Building in Nancheng! As long as they go into the city, we are not afraid of what they can do. Lord Governor, now is a critical moment, don't really make an incident, otherwise, you and I will be difficult to deal with Lord Governor! Knowing that Hu Zhi had always wanted to kill Feng Ziming and swallow the soldiers and horses in the other party's hands, but he never succeeded, Sima Yu explained it again and again.

Hu Zhi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sima, don't worry, I also know the severity!" Besides, the 10,000 army under my command has not yet been gathered, so how can I overthrow it. By the way, what's our bottom line? ”

Sima Yu sneered: "The bottom line? There is no bottom line. As long as they don't interfere with us, they can do whatever they want! Don't forget, in another half a month, there will be nothing here. ”

Hu Zhi smiled: "That's right! Whatever he wants, we can give it to him, and he has to get it. ”

Yanyu Building, the name is very elegant, in fact, it is a restaurant. However, this restaurant is not bad, at least it can rank in the top five of Juye City, with three floors high, and on weekdays, business is not bad. However, today this place has been blocked by the government army, and all the people around have been asked to stay hundreds of meters away.

"Lord Duwei, Fengziming and they are here!"

"How many?" Hu Zhi, who was sitting in the box on the third floor of the restaurant, asked lightly.

"More than fifty people!"

"More than fifty people? It seems that this wind has no intention of fighting with me. Well, in that case, I'm not going to argue with you about some trivial matters! Order, let all of us go out, except for the twenty men who were left to guard the hall, and the rest of us went out. Hu Zhi ordered.

He is not afraid of any changes, all the soldiers here are the government soldiers in the city, although they are not his cronies, but they must also obey their own military orders. Who let Ye Xuan leave and hand over the right to stay in the city to himself!

Soon, Feng Ziming came to Yanyu Tower with an escort of fifty people.

"Wei Dong, you take someone to stay in the hall!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice, and at the end, he whispered: "Get them quickly!" ”

Feng Ziming took Wu Wu upstairs.

"Haha! Lord Feng, General Li! You may be seated! The door opened, and Hu Zhi, who was sitting there, got up and smiled.

After Zhao Xun glanced at it, he found that there were only six guards in the house, and there were no others.

"No need! When the matter is done, I will leave, very quickly, and there will be no delay for long. Feng Ziming said coldly.

"Huh? What does the wind mean? Hu Zhi was stunned, not knowing why.

"It's nothing, is Hu Duwei ready to hand over Shanyang Mansion to the Tang Army? Is Xu Jie's order to join forces with the Tang Army and hand over Shanyang Mansion, preparing to defeat the 30,000 army in the north and make Shanyang Mansion undefendable? Feng Ziming asked in a cold voice.

"Lord Feng, you ......" Hu Zhi felt that things were a little unexpected, and at the same time, he also felt uncomfortable for Feng Ziming's sharp eyes.

"What do I mean, Hu Duwei knows best, doesn't he?" Feng Ziming sneered.

"Lord Feng, Feng Ziming, don't think that Captain Bendu calls you an adult, you really think that Captain Bendu is afraid of you! Yes or no, what does it have to do with you? This is Juye City, not your camp in the south of the city. Hu Zhi's face changed, and he shouted angrily.

"It seems that this is really the case! Alas......" Feng Ziming sighed slightly.

"Captain Hu, I have no opinion on you joining forces with the Tang Army, but it is an army of 30,000 people, 30,000 lives! Could it be that in order to fight the Wuwei Army, you didn't even care about these 30,000 soldiers of your own side? ”

"Haha...... Now that Lord Feng knows, it seems that I can't let you leave today! Thirty thousand troops? Since ancient times, which person has not stepped on a lot of bones? It's only 30,000 people, and it's worth it compared to the governor's big deal! Hu Zhi laughed, and the murderous aura in his eyes was unmistakable.

"Yes! Hu Zhi, you are very good! Even General Ben dares to sell! A gruff and angry voice came from one of the guards beside Feng Ziming.

"You...... You...... Ye Xuan! Watching the other party remove a few scars on his face, Hu Zhi's face suddenly changed drastically. That's right, this guard with a few scars on his face and messy hair is none other than Ye Xuan.

"General Ye, how's it going? Now, you should believe it, so that you will no longer think that we have any calculation against you. In any case, our goal is the same, to hold Shanyang Mansion and keep the 30,000 troops. Feng Ziming said lightly.

"Up, kill them!" Hu Zhi's face changed drastically at the same time, and he shouted violently.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as Zhao Xun raised his hand, a dagger with a blood groove cut out of his sleeve and went out of his hand, hitting the throat of the guard next to Hu Zhi. Before the guard could react, he was hit. He clutched his throat tightly and fell headlong at Ho Chi's feet.

At the same time, the three soldiers around Zhao Xun and Ye Xuan shot at the same time.

"Whew!"

At the same time as Zhao Xun made a move, one of the guards closest to Feng Ziming drew his knife and rushed forward, but Ye Xuan, who was beside him, turned around with a fist, which just hit the other party's cheek, and the guard's face suddenly seemed to be twisted, and it was red everywhere. He clutched his nose vigorously, and then blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and his body slowly collapsed to the ground.

A few guards on the side were only fighting with Zhao Xun and his subordinates for one or two rounds. It's all solved one by one.

Because Hu Zhi never thought that Ye Xuan would appear, nor did he expect Feng Ziming to make a move at this time. Therefore, there were only six guards in the box, and as a result, they were solved one by one in an instant.

By the time Hu Zhi reacted, he was already a single commander. He stood opposite Feng Ziming, looking at the faint mockery on Feng Ziming's face, shocked and angry. But he couldn't speak. was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his saber brazenly, and slashed at Fengziming with a vicious sword.

"Click!"

Zhao Xun easily stuck his arm, and slammed it down, Hu Zhidi's right hand was dislocated, and the gorgeous scimitar easily fell into Zhao Xun's hand.

"Come on...... Uh......" was just about to shout loudly, but he was hit in the abdomen by Zhao Xun's punch, but because one arm was pinched by Zhao Xun, he couldn't bend his body, and cold sweat broke out on his face in pain.

"Hu Duwei, if you still want to save your life, don't expect people outside to save you! The knife in my hand is not long-sighted. ”
