Autumn is getting stronger.

The osmanthus flowers in Woniuling are blooming, the fragrance is full of mountains, and the summer flowers are still blooming brilliantly. Crape myrtle is like a beautiful carpet, spread on the undulating fertile field, and on the leek lawn, dandelion-like purple flower balls move with the wind, undulating like waves.

The two old men, Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao, who were leading the horses in this beautiful scenery, were in a bleak mood. During this trip to Woniuling, they undoubtedly signed a treaty of "loss of power and humiliation of the country", but ...... This is something they signed willingly.

If they don't agree to Ye Xiaotian's request, as long as Zhanlong is not released, they also have the ability to force Zhanlong's orphans and widows to relinquish their power, so as to set up another toast, but ...... Does it make sense? If the Zhan family is going to be destroyed soon, who will be the short-lived toast and what can happen?

The An family seemed to be determined to stand by and watch, Governor Ye was obviously favoring Ye Xiaotian again, and they had no choice. At present, this ending can be regarded as a result that the two old men can barely accept, so when the two old men walked out of Woniuling, they had already agreed on a solution to the matter.

Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao returned to Zhanjiabao, without saying a word about the results of this trip, and returned directly to the family's meeting hall, the important members of the entire family followed one after another, Zhan Pengju couldn't wait to say: "Second uncle, ninth uncle, the two old people are going to Woniuling, what is the result?" ”

Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao glanced at each other, and Zhan Bofei said slowly: "This trip is not smooth!" ”

Everyone's hearts sank suddenly, and Zhan Bohao said: "Ye Xiaotian refuses to negotiate with us, he only needs our Zhan family Tusi to talk to him." ”

Sister-in-law Zhan said angrily: "My husband is the toast of the Zhan family, and now he is locked up in prison, how can I talk to him?" This is clearly prevaricating our exhibitors! ”

No one answered her words, Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao both looked at her with indifferent eyes, and Zhan's sister-in-law suddenly understood something, and her face was suddenly as pale as paper. She took a sharp step back and turned her head to look at the other clansmen, hoping for support. But she was disappointed, and the Zhan clan looked at her with indifferent eyes.

Once, they were also angry about Zhan Boxiong's death, but how much of it was because of Zhan Boxiong's person? Maybe it's more because Ye Xiaotian offended the majesty of Zhanjiabao. When the Zhan family fell step by step to the point where they are now, and they found that it was no longer possible to defeat Ye Xiaotian, this anger was transferred to the person who caused this disaster:

Why did Zhan Boxiong get confused and promise Yang Yinglong an illusory promise, so he tried to attack Ye Xiaotian, and even adopted such a stupid idea as marrying the trouble, which completely offended the Tian family. The exhibitor ended up like this. It's all Zhan Boxiong's fault!

Sister-in-law Zhan trembled: "My husband, still for the Zhan family, was locked up in the dungeon by the man surnamed Ye, is it ...... Do you want to betray him? ”

Sister-in-law Zhan's voice was sharp, faintly echoing in the silent hall, as if the hall was empty, showing her loneliness and helplessness even more.

After a long time, Zhan Bohao's heavy voice slowly sounded: "Even if there is no Ye Xiaotian, our Zhan family can't be without a family master for a long time." Zhanlong's arrest has become a fact. Ye Xiaotian also has no possibility of releasing him, our Zhan family has no leader, how to deal with the current predicament? So, the old man thought. A new toast should be ......"

Before Zhan Bohao could speak, Zhan's sister-in-law said sharply: "My husband is not dead yet, why choose another toast?" ”

Zhan Bofei said coldly: "I, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, was captured by Wara, and the imperial court can set up another Emperor Jingtai." Why can't a small exhibitor set up another toast? ”

Sister-in-law Zhan cursed viciously: "Emperor Yingzong has restored the throne, and all those who supported Jingtai at the beginning did not end well!" ”

Zhan Pengju heard the two old men say that they would call on the clansmen to set up another toast. There was a sudden burst of fire in his heart, the only one with the most ability and prestige among the younger generation was him, who else was this toast?

As soon as Sister-in-law Zhan said this, Zhan Pengju was afraid that these words would scare off some of the clansmen, so he immediately retorted: "Sister-in-law, how many people can there be in the past and present who have succeeded in restoring the throne?" What's more, if it weren't for Emperor Jingtai's critical illness and his death, how could Emperor Yingzong be restored? The same thing may not be repeated in my exhibition! ”

Zhan Bofei said angrily: "Okay! Don't quarrel! The old man made this decision, not for the old man himself! The old man is very old, how many years can this old bone last? In the final analysis, everything is for the survival and prosperity of my Zhan family! ”

After drinking Zhan's sister-in-law, Zhan Bofei slowed down his voice again and said, "On the way back, Lao Jiu and I checked it and decided to choose another person to serve as the toast among the nephews in the next life. Lao Jiu, tell me about it. ”

Zhan Bohao coughed, stroked his beard and glanced at everyone, seeing that everyone was looking at him with blank eyes, especially his own nephew Zhan Pengju, his eyes were eager, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said slowly: "The old man discussed with the second brother, and felt that Yichi that kid was smart and clever, and he was up to a big responsibility. Therefore, the two old men of us decided to support the exhibition and gallop for our people's toast! ”

Zhan Bohao said as soon as he spoke, and the hall was dumbfounded. Exhibit a gallop? Zhan Yichi's child is still young, and he is not qualified to participate in the deliberations in this hall at present, and everyone really did not expect that the candidate of the two elders is actually him.

Sister-in-law Zhan was so angry that she trembled: "Even if you want to set up another toast, my son should inherit his father's position!" My son Yicong is only one year younger than Yichi, why should he become the head of the family? ”

Zhan Bofei slapped the armrest of the chair vigorously and shouted angrily: "Woman's opinion! Why don't you understand yet? Our Zhanjia wants to break the siege now, and we can only rely on Ye Xiaotian! But in your room, you have a common enmity with Ye Xiaotian, can people sit back and watch my Zhan family set up your son as a toast? ”

With a single sentence, Zhan Bofei's death was reduced to a personal feud in Zhanlong's house, and the entire Zhan family was taken out. In the midst of the anger, Zhan's sister-in-law didn't pay attention to Zhan Bofei's sinister intentions, and screamed: "Isn't there a common enmity between the children of the second family and Ye Xiaotian?" Yichi's father died in the hands of Ye Xiaotian! ”

As soon as she said this, Zhan's second sister-in-law immediately glanced at her resentfully. Zhan's second sister-in-law even had her husband dead, so she had nothing else to rely on. In terms of fame, it is not as good as Changfang, so she has always followed Sister-in-law Zhan as a little minion waving the flag, but now that her son has been nominated as Toast, the second sister-in-law's heart is so excited that she is about to jump out of the cavity. If it weren't for the prestige, the second sister-in-law would have to rush up and tear up with the sister-in-law at this time for the sake of her son's good future.

Zhan Bohao said coldly: "Zhan Hu was instructed by Zhan Long to follow and assassinate Ye Xiaotian, but his whereabouts were revealed. was killed by the officers and soldiers who escorted Ye Xiaotian to the capital, what does it have to do with Ye Xiaotian? There is a wrongdoer, there is a debtor, don't mistake the wrongdoer! Besides, Zhanhu's family didn't say they wanted revenge, can you guarantee that once Zhanlong is released, he won't say revenge? ”

Sister-in-law Zhan was speechless, turned to the second sister-in-law Zhan angrily, and said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you say." ”

Zhan's second sister-in-law snorted: "I'm ...... I'm a woman. If you have any ideas, everything is up to the two old men. ”

The two old men, Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao, smiled bitterly at each other, listen to them? They were just forced to follow Ye Xiaotian's idea because of the situation.

In fact, the two have always been a little puzzled why Ye Xiaotian appointed Zhanhu's son as the toast. If you want to talk about hatred with Ye Xiaotian, the main thing is Zhan Long and Zhan Hu, wouldn't it be better if he was willing to support the Zhan side branch?

But now that Sister-in-law Zhan was eager to swallow the momentum of Sister-in-law Zhan, they understood how well Ye Xiaotian's abacus was played. If Ye Xiaotian supports the two of them to support the side branches, the two women in the house will add a bunch of children. Not an opponent at all, exhibitors can quickly unite and establish a new core.

However, if the heir of the second room of the Emperor is Tusi, there will inevitably be a division between the long room and the second room of the Emperor. Wait for them to stabilize their position a little. Ye Xiaotian will release Zhanlong, and when the time comes, in the face of this former toast and uncle, the second room will have to rely even more on the side branch and Ye Xiaotian.

In this way, although the side branches are large, they are not enough to control the overall situation. The house is completely divided, and it is difficult to hug together, and the role that Ye Xiaotian can play in it is very important. Then. It's too late to hug his thighs in Zhan Er's room, what are you talking about against him?

Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao respectively gave a look to those clansmen who were usually close, and everyone immediately expressed their support. Soon, Zhan Yichi, who was urinating and sweating with his friends in the village, was taken to the conference hall and sat down on the main seat in a daze.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, chanting "Toast", Zhan Yichi wiped the sweat on his head, and shouted at his second sister-in-law: "Mother, I'm thirsty!" ”

Zhan's second sister-in-law cried with joy, looking at her son sitting on the throne she had never dared to hope for, her mood was agitated, and she couldn't help herself.

……

Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao originally thought that it would be relatively troublesome to change the toast, but they didn't want to solve it so smoothly. They thought that it would be easy to marry Woniuling and marry Zhan Ning'er to Ye Xiaotian as the third lady, but they didn't want to run into trouble in this matter instead.

The eldest girl refused to marry.

One of the reasons for the eldest girl is that her mother is riddled with illness, her father died early, and she, as her mother's only daughter, must be filial piety in front of her knees. Filial piety is in front of righteousness, who can force her to marry?

The second reason for the eldest girl is that her uncle died at the hands of Ye Xiaotian, she can't marry the enemy and forget the hatred;

The third reason for the eldest girl is that she is also the eldest lady of the Zhan family, and the Zhan family ranks among the eight King Kongs, many times more noble than a small official in Woniuling, how can she bend down to marry, and she is also a third lady? This is insulting to the Zhan family's style.

The three reasons of the big girl Zhan are righteous and strict, and the new lady Zhan Er, who is not good at words, left the small courtyard where their mother and daughter lived, and told the situation to Zhan Bofei and Zhan Bohao, the two old men were anxious:

Do you want a face, do you want a face? Aren't you cheap and obedient? I think you were looking for death and life in order to marry Ye Xiaotian, who doesn't know about this? If it weren't for your mother's illness and the fact that you couldn't leave, you would have eloped with Ye Xiaotian a long time ago, and now you have become the person who maintains the Zhan family the most! It's really not a family, not a door. Ye Xiaotian is treacherous and shameless, and Ye Xiaotian, the future third lady, is really worthy of face!

can think about it, knowing that Zhan Ning'er is taking stilts, the two old men have no choice. Things have been done to this extent, if Ning Er refuses to marry, Ye Xiaotian refuses to send troops to relieve the siege, what is the purpose of the Zhan family's toss?

Helplessly, the two old men personally led the team, led the heads and faces of the whole clan, carried forward the spirit of the thatched house, and went to the small courtyard where Zhanning'er's mother and daughter lived again and again, and flattened the weeds in the courtyard, and finally reached an agreement:

In order to solve the crisis of the Zhan family, Zhan Ning'er agreed to commit to marriage, so that Ning'er became a big hero who saved the family, she sacrificed herself to commit to the evil demon Ye Xiaotian in order to solve the existential crisis faced by the family. How unreasonable is that!

Zhan's mother was riddled with illness, and as a filial daughter, Ning'er was reluctant to leave her mother. Fortunately, the two places are not far apart, and after Ning'er got married, her mother could temporarily move to Woniuling and be raised by Ning'er.

In order to get Ning'er's mother to agree, the two old men persuaded the brother and daughter-in-law for a long time. Although Zhan's mother is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, she is stubborn, but she attaches the most importance to the family, and the people of the Zhan family take turns to persuade her. Naturally, she agreed.

……

Under Zhanjia Fort, the Tong family couldn't attack it for a long time, and Tong Yun couldn't help but be a little anxious. He did not surround Zhanjia Fort, but Chen Bing under the west gate of Zhanjia Fort, anyway, this is the foundation of Zhan Jia, he is not afraid that Zhan Jia will abandon the fort and flee, and the loss of the attack will be too great.

If the Zhanjia really wants to abandon the fort and flee, it is just what he wants, if the Zhanjia takes the old to help the young, and leaves the fort with all the softness. The speed must not be fast, he can move his troops to chase at any time, and when the time comes, he will capture the women and children of the Zhan family and the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, even if the young adults of the Zhan family escape. It has also become a rootless ping, which is not enough to cause trouble.

Now this stalemate is the last thing he wants to see, and the Cao family has not completely subsided. Although their Tong family pretended to take refuge in Banzhou Yang Yinglong, which brought stability in the rear, the army left for a long time. It is also difficult to ensure that Yang Yinglong does not have different intentions.

But this can be stopped, Tong Yun is also reluctant, if he can occupy the Shiqian Zhan family in one fell swoop, the Tong family's power will be tripled, and even if it is against the Yang family in Shangbanzhou, it will have a fight. Even if the Tong family broke away from the Tian family's secret control, it would be easy.

It's no wonder that Tong Yun is not loyal enough to the Tian family, after all, he is surnamed Tong, even if the Tian family is still the lord of Sizhou and Sinan, the Tong family is also a relatively independent Tong family. The head of the Tong family, the final consideration, is to start from his own family, which is justified.

For so many years, because the Tong family is located in a long and narrow area, just in the middle of the Cao family and the Banzhou Yang family, trying to survive in the cracks, they have to rely on the support of the Tian family's secret strength, so they still bow down to the Tian family.

But once the power mastered by the Tong family no longer had to rely on the help of the Tian family at all, or even surpassed the Tian family, why did he still bow down to the Tian family? After that, if you can establish an alliance with the Tian family and advance and retreat together, you will be worthy of the friendship between the two families for hundreds of years.

With this layer of consideration, Tong Yun is really reluctant to abandon Zhanjiabao now, and it is rare to chase it. At first, he was most afraid that Ye Xiaotian would lead his troops to arrive in time and share a piece of the pie with him, but now he is desperately looking forward to Ye Xiaotian being able to send troops, and the two families will work together to take Zhanjiabao, and it is better to divide half of each than not to die or live like now.

Tong Yun frowned and asked Yue Zhengqing, a big-headed man under him, "What is Ye Xiaotian doing?" Now that the situation is good, why does Woniuling stand still? ”

Yue Zhengqing replied: "Master Tusi, my subordinates have sent someone to investigate, it is said that Tongren gave birth to a child in Tusi, and the biological father of this child is Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian went to Tongren Mansion and stayed for a long time. Moreover, Zhan Ning'er of the Zhan family and Ye Xiaotian have always had feelings for each other, because of Zhan Ning'er's relationship, Ye Xiaotian has always been reluctant to meet the Zhan family! ”

Tong Yun snorted disdainfully: "The hero is short of breath, the love of children is long, what big thing has he achieved?" ”

At this time, Tong Yun's master, Wu Xi, walked into Tong Yun's big tent in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Master, Woniuling has sent troops!" Woniuling has finally sent troops! ”

Tong Yun was overjoyed and praised: "Not bad! This is what a hero does, how can he give up a great opportunity for a woman, and finally he woke up early. In this way, it will be easy for our two families to join forces and take Zhanjiabao! ”

Wu Xi reminded: "Master, with Woniuling joining forces, it is easy for us to take Zhanjia Fort, but how to distribute the land, population, and wealth of this Zhanjia has become a trouble. Ye Xiaotian has a lot of appetite, I'm afraid ......"

Tong Yun was reminded by his words, and said, "Not bad!" This cannot be guarded against! ”

He walked to the tent, looked at the thick fort wall of Zhanjia Fort, and sneered: "This Zhanjia Fort, I can't eat it alone, and he Ye Xiaotian is the same!" Collect the troops, wait for him Ye Xiaotian to talk! How to divide this piece of fat, you must always write it down in black and white, so that you can use the soldiers together! ”

Tong Yun gave an order, the soldiers and horses of the Tong family who were attacking the city immediately gathered back to the camp, Tong Yun sat in the tent of the Chinese army with a golden sword, he estimated that Ye Xiaotian would definitely come to see him first when he arrived at the city of Zhanjiabao. If he doesn't see it, let him Ye Xiaotian attack the city first, and lose a lot, I'm not afraid that he won't be in pain, and he will inevitably come to negotiate with him at that time.

Tong Yun made a pot of tea, crossed Erlang's legs and drank tea while waiting for Ye Xiaotian, the pot of tea was almost drunk into white water, only to see Master Wu Xi running in with a burning buttocks. Tong Yun said unhappily: "What's the hurry! Ye Xiaotian is here? ”

Wu Xi said angrily: "Master! Big things are not good! Ye Xiaotian, he has entered the fort! ”

"Huh?" Tong Yun was taken aback, and his eyes widened: "Entered the fort?" How can it be? How could he conquer Zhanjia Fort so quickly? ”

Wu Xi cried and said with a sad face: "He didn't conquer it!" He led a lot of horses and horses, and when he arrived at the east gate of Zhanjia Fort, Zhanjia opened the gate and welcomed him into the city! ”

Tong Yun clicked, and his jaw almost dislocated: "How is it possible!" How can it be! ”

Before the words were finished, the big-headed man Yue Zhengqing rushed in again with a roar: "Lord Tusi, go and take a look, Ye Xiaotian is on the castle, please meet you in the city!" ”

Tong Yun was inexplicable, hurriedly left the camp, rushed to the fort to take a look, and sure enough, Ye Xiaotian was standing on the arrow tower in the fort, beckoned to him warmly, and greeted: "Tong senior, don't come to harm!" ”
