When the cavalry battalion attacked the stockade, an explosion resounded in the sky, causing the earth to shake like an earthquake, followed by billowing smoke and dust.

Xiahou Sheng and Gu Mingming also became "dead people" with this explosion.

Without the sect leader, the people of the Cardinal Sect are like losing their backbone, and there is no longer any threat, and most of them are originally ordinary people, Zhao Yan did not pursue those who are not deeply involved, they can continue to live the life of ordinary people, but after this time the Red-clothed Sect is swept away, and with the guidance of the imperial court, the Bai family's appeal and influence in the northwest will naturally be much worse than before.

And what Zhao Yan has to do next is to settle accounts after the autumn, those people in the official government who have colluded with the Red Cloth Sect should always have an end.

The thing Jiang Xiaoyu has been hesitating about is whether to let Xiahou Sheng go, and tell Zhao Yan, firstly, because she feels that she should be honest with each other, but secondly, she doesn't want him to know more, if something happens in the future, it is good to be responsible for herself.

After thinking about it, she still kept the matter a secret, and told him about it again when she had the opportunity to do so in the future, and when he was completely uninvolved.

And after solving the matter of the Red Cloth Sect, Bai Shan and Bai Mei also said goodbye to Jiang Xiaoyu, because of the identities of the two of them, there was no way to go to the capital.

"When you have settled the place to stay, write to me, and if the time comes, we will go to my uncle together!" Jiang Xiaoyu patted Bai Shan's shoulder and said, "You two should also take care!" ”

"I will settle down as soon as possible, and at the same time, I am also waiting for the heart that Miss will give me, looking forward to seeing the young general as soon as possible!" Bai Shan said with a smile.

Bai Mei pulled Zhao Yan's sleeve coquettishly, and said coquettishly: "I don't know when we will be able to see each other again today, so you don't have anything to say to me?" ”

"Take care!"

"Hmph, I know I can't hear anything good from your mouth!" Bai Mei snorted, "Anyway, you must remember one thing, you still owe me one thing between us, and you still have to sleep with me for one night!" ”

She glanced at Xueluo: "Then who, in the future, Gongzi will be handed over to you to take care of!" ”

"Don't worry, Miss Bai, I will take good care of my son!" Xue Luo lowered his eyes and said.

"You're cheap!" Bai Mei glanced at Xue Luo, ran to Wu Gan with a smile, and whispered, "Then whoever likes someone has to say it, you hold it in your heart, others can't guess what you think!" ”

"It's my thing!" Wu Qian said lightly.

"Kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Bai Mei glanced at him, and said goodbye to a few people, "Farewell to everyone, goodbye!" ”

"Take care!"

After saying goodbye to Bai Shan and Bai Mei and leaving, and a few people walked on the way back, Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said: "The matter of the Red Cloth Sect is solved, and the next thing has nothing to do with me, I should also go back to the capital!" Although it is a few days later than Zhao Ling, it will not make him difficult to explain! ”

"It's good!" Zhao Yan's eyes were deep, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, "Let's go back first, but when the time comes, if anything involves the Cardinal Sect, you have to discuss it with me!" ”

"Well, I will!" Jiang Xiaoyu kicked the fallen leaves under his feet, "I may be leaving in the afternoon, you have to take care, the next thing is not easy!" ”

"I know!" Zhao Yan was silent for a moment before replying.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoyu packed everything up, and asked Yang Xing to send a letter to Zhao Ling, preparing to return to the city, but it didn't work out in the end, because there was news of the dog down attack, and the dog down would loot around the Great Zhou in the autumn and winter, and there was nothing strange about it. It's just that from the time when General Bai Lao was still there, he began to strengthen the city wall, and although the dog down was provocative every year, it also failed every year.

But this year is a little strange, when the dog down attacked on a large scale, the border commander Dou Ce suddenly died, resulting in 150,000 border troops without a leader, giving the dog down a chance, under its fierce attack, the border pass was in an emergency.

Emperor Zhou transferred Zhao Yan back from the west, because he didn't want him to mess with military power again, and at this moment, his main purpose in the northwest was to purge the remnants of the Cardinal Sect, and if he interfered in military politics at this time, he was afraid that he would be criticized.

It's just that Zhao Yan knows that Dou Ce's deputy general Yuan Zhong is not handsome, if he waits for the imperial court to send a general, he is only afraid that Qilin Pass will be in danger, and if the dog velvet breaks through the Qilin Pass, it will inevitably burn and loot in the city, I don't know how many people will suffer, and with his temperament, he will watch such a thing happen, so after knowing this matter, he immediately rushed to the border pass, although there is no holy decree, but with the respect of the prince and his war name in the west, he may be able to turn the tide!

Jiang Xiaoyu knew that she couldn't persuade Zhao Yan to do what he decided, just as they couldn't persuade herself to give up and what she wanted to do, that was her way of maintaining inner order, she didn't plan to persuade him to put the overall situation first, and serving the country and the people was his overall situation.

And Jiang Xiaoyu's worry is that in the absence of a holy decree, the 150,000 border guards obey the command of Zhao Yan, for Emperor Zhou, it must be a challenge to power, regardless of victory or defeat, how to explain to Emperor Zhou is the best test.

And so many coincidences added together, which also made Jiang Xiaoyu wonder if this was an uneven and delicate game in itself? The coincidence of the dog velvet's attack, the coincidence of Dou Ce's violent death, and the coincidence of Du Tong's anti-water, thinking of Du Tong's anti-water may be because the poison on his body has been resolved, and combining these clues can deduce the whole thing.

The third prince must have sent a great person to the northwest to disrupt the situation that was about to settle down, first contacted Du Tong, untied the poison on his body, and made him turn against the water, and then colluded with the dog velvet, agreed on the time of the attack, and then infiltrated the military camp in a certain capacity, secretly killed Dou Ce, and then calculated Zhao Yan's temperament, he would definitely not sit idly by, and a game would be done.

I wonder if this person is still in the barracks, and if he is still hiding in some capacity, will he take the opportunity to assassinate him?

And the sinister thing about this situation is that it will plant a seed of doubt in Emperor Zhou's heart, and a son who can ignore the holy decree and obtain military power will become the most terrible enemy in his eyes.

While thinking of Dou Ce's violent death, Jiang Xiaoyu guessed whether it would be related to that Gu cultivation master, she wanted to go to the military camp to inspect Dou Ce's body in person to prove her conjecture, if Dou Ce died of Gu worms, was it possible to find that Gu cultivation master?

It's just that she can't go to the barracks with Zhao Yan, she still has her own things to do.

Although the matter of the Cardinal Sect has just been resolved, the government that colluded with the Redcoat Sect has not been thoroughly investigated, and the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, if they take this opportunity to make trouble for Zhao Yan in the rear, it will be even worse for the border army, which is already on the disadvantageous side, so she has to stay to deal with the affairs in the rear, staring at those officials who are ready to move.

Her identity is not enough, and without the blessing of Shang Fang's sword, the only means she can take are assassination and threats, and she only hopes that the imperial court can send them to completely solve these potential troubles, so she can also free up her hands to do her own thing.

The war together, Zhao Yan left the black armor guard to Jiang Xiaoyu, and after simply saying goodbye to her, he immediately rushed to the battlefield with the Xiaocai battalion, and Jiang Xiaoyu will also go to his own battlefield, the entire northwest, of course, the most harmful Du Tong has surfaced, the war together, as the governor of Qizhou, he will be responsible for the entire logistics armament, if he has a problem, it will affect the direction of this war, so this stubborn disease is the first thing to get rid of!

Du Tong is not a fool, he naturally knows that there will be revenge, the last time Zijiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan sneaked in made him feel palpitations, so the official defense is more strict than before, and there are more dead than before, and the difficulty is to control Du Tong again without alarming anyone.

Wu Qian probed the governor's mansion once, and then touched all the defense of the other party, and drew it on the map, and after discussing it, several people worked out a plan.

Although Du Tong's current defense is strict, his lustful problem has not improved in the slightest, and the breakthrough lies in those dancing girls.

Because of the low status of the dancing girl, she can only stay in the outer courtyard on weekdays, and she can't guard the inner courtyard, which gives Jiang Xiaoyu and the three of them a chance to sneak in.

Jiang Xiaoyu stole a few pieces of dancing clothes and gave them to Yang Xing and Wu Qian to change into, which was unanimously opposed by the two.

"How can a dignified seven-foot man wear women's clothes!" Yang Xing said in a firm tone, "I'd rather go straight in and capture Du Tong alive!" ”

"Aren't we going to alarm anyone, if you said it worked, we would have rushed in with the black armor guards a long time ago, and it would take a lot of trouble?" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "The big husband can bend and stretch, think about what you are doing now, not to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but for the sake of the entire war situation, what is this sacrifice!" What's more, only the three of us know about this, so how can others know about it if we don't say it? ”

Wu Qian's temperament was cold, but he didn't have the thoughts of those big men, and quickly changed into his dancing clothes. Yang Xing saw that Wu Qian was dry, so he had to grit his teeth and change his clothes: "Today's matter, don't leak it out!" ”

"Don't worry, you're absolutely tight-lipped!" Jiang Xiaoyu made a sealing gesture and said with an oath.

Although the two of them are tall, but fortunately, they are both strong, and this time most of the dancing girls are bearded girls, there is no shortage of tall people, plus the faces of the two are already delicate and handsome, so there is no strong sense of disobedience, but Jiang Xiaoyu's own body is too petite, as if she is stealing adult clothes, she is a woman, wearing women's clothes, there are not two men who are good-looking, which is really infuriating.

"Yo, where did these two beauties come from!" Jiang Xiaoyu touched his chin and teased unscrupulously, "Give Uncle a smile!" ”

Wu Qian killed him with a knife in the eye, and Jiang Xiaoyu immediately stuck out his tongue and obediently shut up.

And at this time, a group of dancing girls entered from the outside, changed clothes, put on makeup, and prepared to perform for adults, and there was nothing strange about the people who had changed into dance clothes and wore veils inside, and they were all focused on doing what they were doing!

When it was almost dark, a butler-like man came in and said, "Hurry up, girls, the adults have finished dinner and want to see the girls' performance!" ”

"Howler! We'll be ready in no time! ”
