The huge city guard crossbow on the city wall had already begun to move, and the cold light of the crossbow arrows was aimed at Bai Xiaokui and the others, although Bai Xiaokui had already reported his identity, but he had not been confirmed.

"Hurry up and report to the marshal!"

"Quick!"

There was a slight commotion on the city wall, Bai Xiaokui took out his waist card, shook his hand and threw it to the city, and the city gate guard caught the sign and went.

I didn't have to wait long.

Squeak!

The gate of Xiaoyue City slowly opened, and a team of people and horses came out of the city, led by a black-faced bearded man wearing heavy armor, with black and white hair, who was Hu Yanjin.

"Lord Bai is coming, and he is not far away! Why don't you send someone to inform me in advance, Ben Shuai is also better to make some preparations, please please ......"

Hu Yanjin led people to greet Bai Xiaokui and the others in person, and returned Bai Xiaokui's waist card with his own hands.

all know that Bai Xiaokui is a celebrity around Zhou An, and she is also valued by the empress, she has made meritorious contributions in the battle to exterminate the chaotic party, and she has been directly crowned by a Jianghu person.

Hu Yanjin naturally didn't dare to slack off.

What kind of status Bai Xiaokui is on the empress's side is naturally not something that Hu Yanjin can understand, but she is indeed a close confidant of Zhou An, the head of the inner house, which is true.

Bai Xiaokui brought more than a dozen people, all dressed as mysterious.

Hu Yanjin didn't ask, because Bai Xiaokui acted in Yuezhou, as Dongchang, and it had been a while since she had been hunted down and killed many times, which was not a secret.

The people around her are naturally the mysterious Dongchang fans.

Night.

Xiaoyue City is heavily guarded and brightly lit.

Hu Yanjin set up a banquet to entertain Bai Xiaokui, Bai Xiaokui did not drink, and talked to Hu Yanjin at the banquet for a while, asked about the recent war situation, and left the table early.

As for why she came to Xiaoyue City, the excuse was to stay for a few days, but she also mentioned the Virgin Mary of the Pure Land, hinting at Huyanjin...... She's here for refuge.

Makes sense.

Our Lady of the Pure Land was chasing her a few days ago.

And now that Our Lady of the Pure Land has a heavy army, it is normal for her to hide.

Dongchang acted in Yuezhou, and has never been in contact with the Wuzhou Army, Bai Xiaokui came over this time, it is the first time, in fact, this is an inevitability, Dongchang and the Wuzhou Army should cooperate, so Bai Xiaokui came, there is nothing wrong.

Late at night, inside the Governor's Palace.

The Governor's Mansion in Xiaoyue City was naturally set up temporarily, in fact, this is the house of a wealthy merchant in Xiaoyue City, located in the south of the city, with a very large area.

After the Wuzhou Army entered Xiaoyue City, this house was requisitioned and changed to a temporary governor's mansion.

Including Huyanjin, some important generals live in this governor's mansion.

Bai Xiaokui brought people here, and he was also arranged in the Governor's Mansion, which was in the North Side Courtyard.

The east wing of the north side courtyard.

"The big manager, the little one thinks it......" A middle-aged eunuch was bowing down to speak, he was originally the eunuch of the supervising army of Yueshanwei, and now he is the supervising military chief of the Wuzhou Army, named Li Maohua.

In front of Li Maohua, a black-robed figure with a hat was looking at the landscape paintings on the wall, with his back to the outside.

This person, of course, is Zhou An!

At present, Li Maohua knew the specific situation within the Wuzhou Army, so Zhou An asked him to meet first.

In fact, before coming to Xiaoyue City, Zhou An had already arranged for someone to send a message to Li Maohua, so Li Maohua prepared again.

The two had been talking for almost an hour.

According to Arutai's memory, after this Li Maohua was transferred to the Yueshan Guard Guard three years ago, King Yunsu found someone to test him indirectly, but as a result, he was full of saints, and scolded Wu Xukuan, and then King Yunsu did not dare to send people to contact him again...... This ensured the loyalty of Li Maohua.

After the kung fu of tea.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Li Maohua stepped aside and bowed his head.

"Enter." Zhou An replied.

Bai Xiaokui pushed the door in, and behind her was a middle-aged general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a goatee, this person was the commander of Maozhou Wei, Zhu Jie!

He now has another identity, that is, the deputy marshal of the Five States Army!

Zhu Jie followed Bai Xiaokui into the door, looking a little surprised.

Bai Xiaokui went to knock on his window at night, saying that he wanted to talk to him secretly, and implied that it was the meaning of the court, he didn't know whether it was true or not, but there was no ghost in his heart, and he was not afraid that Bai Xiaokui would assassinate him, so he quietly followed Bai Xiaokui out.

Now that Bai Xiaokui brought him to this room, he saw that Gonggong Li, the prison guard, was also there, so he was a lot relieved, it was really possible that there was some secret arrangement on the side of the imperial court.

"The factory is a man, and someone brought it." Bai Xiaokui took a few steps forward and said respectfully.

Zhu Jie was looking at Gonggong Li, but when he heard Bai Xiaokui's voice, he suddenly turned his head to look at the black-robed figure with his back to the side of the room, extremely frightened, and the thoughts in his mind were like lightning, and he thought of a lot.

Zhou An took off the hat, put it on the table casually, turned back to look at Zhu Jie with his hand, and said, "General Zhu, do you recognize our family?" ”

Zhu Jie was still stunned.

He noticed Gonggong Li's respectful appearance of standing aside, and also heard Bai Xiaokui's address to this person.

Although he hadn't seen Zhou An before, he was not mentally retarded, and of course he knew who the factory father was.

Zhou An looks like a legend, a boy and a girl, very young!

Zhou An is still alive!

Not only is he alive, but he has also secretly come to Yuezhou!

He came to Xiaoyue City but didn't see Huyanjin!

Could it be that Hu Yanjin did it to make the court dissatisfied, and the court came to deal with him?

"See the factory for your humble duties! If the factory has orders, don't dare to disobey! Zhu Jie finally reacted, and knelt directly on his knees and kowtowed to Zhou An.

Very good!

Very good and sensible.

Zhou An could feel from Zhu Jie's voice that he seemed to be a little excited.

Obviously, it has always been rumored that Zhou An, who has died, appeared in Yuezhou and came to the five-state army camp, but did not see the commander, but secretly saw the deputy commander.

In this case, it is likely that something is wrong with the manager.

Zhu Jie knew that his opportunity had come!

"Get up." Zhou An said lightly.

"Yes!" Zhu Jie got up.

"General Zhu, our family is here to ...... this time," Zhou An paced, "Let's talk to you directly, Hu Yanjin and King Yunsu secretly colluded, and they have betrayed the court and betrayed the Holy ......."

Zhu Jie raised his head fiercely!

He was stunned again.

He guessed that there was something wrong with Hu Yanjin before, but he felt that because the war was unfavorable, the imperial court wanted to change the commander, but because the Wuzhou Army was based on Yue Shanwei as the main body, he directly issued an order for fear of mutiny, so Zhou An came secretly.

He didn't expect Huyanjin to defect and defect to the enemy!

"This old horseman, he has long felt that he is wrong, fighting against the rebellious army, and repeatedly making stupid moves......" Zhu Jie stepped on Hu Yanjin a few times.

Zhou An looked at him calmly.

"Please instruct the factory to command, if you capture that old horseman, I am willing to be a pawn in front of the horse......" Zhu Jie said with a change of voice, clenching his fists and arching his hand.

Zhu Jie's speed of allegiance is breathtaking.

Zhou An is indeed optimistic about him.

The reason why Zhu Jie was chosen was that according to Arutai's memory, Huyanjin and King Yunsu had talked in the secret letter contact that they wanted to kill Zhu Jie!

Zhu Jie is the commander of Maozhou Wei.

The land of Maozhou and Yunyue, separated by the entire Yuezhou, is the northernmost state of the five states, before the rebellion of the five states, Zhu Jie and Huyanjin had nothing to do with it, and the king of Yunsu did not think of secretly plotting against him.

And Zhu Jie is a native of Zhongzhou, from a family of eunuchs, his grandfather served as the secretary of the criminal department for several years, and his father was a squire in the military department, and his family is in Qianjing.

Against this backdrop, the likelihood of him having a problem is extremely low.

And his appointment as the deputy marshal of the Wuzhou Army is also related to his background, and it is his clansmen who have exerted their strength in the court.

Hu Yanjin wanted to kill Zhu Jie, because the two always quarreled during deliberations, and many of Hu Yanjin's plans were opposed by Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie is also the biggest obstacle to Huyanjin's complete control of the Wuzhou Army!

He had even made a plan to cooperate with the strange soldiers sent by King Yunsu to kill Zhu Jie through war, which King Yunsu had agreed.

What kind of person Zhu Jie is in private, Zhou An doesn't know.

He doesn't care what kind of person Zhu Jie is now.

At present, as long as he is loyal and loyal to the court, it is enough!

"Our family will do it tonight, and you will ...... then" Zhou An looked at Zhu Jie and said.
