Qingwan smiled, it turned out that everyone came to Jinghui Villa for such a reason, but unfortunately she was different from everyone.

"None of them. My husband made great achievements in war, defended his family and the country, and was arrested for me and returned to Beijing. ”

"It turned out to be Mrs. Lin, I didn't expect you to find here."

Qingwan looked at the old man in surprise, only to realize that he was squinting and smiling at her, and the smile seemed like he had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for her to come.

"Your husband and wife are indeed wronged, but they are not wronged for the sake of this world. The mouth of the world is leisurely, and the lady's life can be blocked, and the emperor is naturally happy to do this cost-effective business. ”

Qingwan stood up angrily, she came to Jinghui Villa for help, why was she preached by this old man?

Should she sacrifice her life for the misunderstanding and suspicion of the world, she is unwilling.

"If I were the emperor, I would never do this."

Just wanted to get angry at the old man, Qingwan was amused by his words again, what's the matter these days, everyone began to assume that they were the emperor? The king of Zhennan is like this, and even the old man who sweeps the floor is the same?

The old man said slowly, "If I were a king, I would continue to use you and my wife.

Regardless of past suspicions, go up against public opinion, let you use your military exploits to wash away your suspicions, and be good to each other. ”

Qingwan couldn't help but applaud this old man in his heart, he was really an understanding person in front of him, but it was a pity that he was just an old man in a remote area.

"The emperor is narrow-minded and doesn't see it open-mindedly enough, so it's no wonder that he will take such an unsuccessful rebellion as King Zhennan in his eyes.

Don't get into this troubled water after this battle, otherwise you two will eventually die in the capital. ”

Qingwan couldn't help nodding when she heard this, and didn't forget to ask: "Old man, are you a doctor or a god?" Diagnosis, or fortune telling? ”

The old man smiled, stood up against the pillars on the porch, and said with a smile: "Businessman, I took your business." ”

What the!

Qingwan suddenly realized that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary old man, but the owner of Jinghui Villa, the boss in charge of the killer.

"You really don't look like you're in the business of human life." Qingwan arched his hand and made a gesture at the old man.

"The price I want is not low."

The old man smiled, picked up the broom he had put aside, and walked to the villa.

"What do you want? I'll give it all! ”

Qingwan caught up and wanted to negotiate the next agreement with him on the deal, and both parties signed and pledged.

"The old man wants the world to be peaceful and the country stable, and you and your wife can afford it!"

The old man only left a distant back, and waved his hand at Qingwan, "Tomorrow, the escort team will enter Fancheng, and the old man will definitely return your husband to you!" ”

In the capital, Li Zongze and Mrs. Li returned home, and the two were packing their luggage.

Li Zongze was a little puzzled in his heart, he went to the palace with his wife and came back again that day, and he didn't change the emperor's decision at all, but his wife still looked like she was determined to win.

"You said that you have to go to the palace to make the emperor unhappy, what is this asking for?"

Mrs. Li stored all the house deeds, title deeds, and books and texts of the field shop at home, and put them in her bag, with a posture of never coming back.

Li Zongze was completely frightened when he saw her like this, "What are you doing here?" ”

"This trip is more auspicious and less auspicious, can the king of Zhennan wait for us to reach the border and then attack?

Don't be stupid, you and I both have bloody military exploits in our families, and we both grew up in the army when we were children, can you still understand that the framing of the Lin family is the ploy of the king of Zhennan? ”

Mrs. Li's words woke up the dreamer, but Li Zongze still didn't understand why she wanted to take all the family property away.

"Not only do I have to take away my property, but I also want to dismiss my house slaves!"

"Why is that?"

Mrs. Li stood in front of Li Zongze and knocked him on the head, "You fool who only knows how to fight and doesn't know how to weigh politics!"

Whether we are victorious or defeated, it will do us more harm than good! ”

"Huh?"

Li Zongze touched the door of his head knocked on by his wife, but still didn't understand what she meant.

How did he marry such a martial artist who doesn't understand the world!

Mrs. Li complained in her heart, but she still had to explain to her husband: "Do you think this is as simple as the king's order and allegiance? Here's the deal.

The emperor is using the wealth given to us by the royal family as a bargaining chip, and I hope you will do it to cut the vassal king. Why is Coco Wu no longer suitable for this task?

Because his wife is the daughter of the king of Zhennan, even if he really exterminates the vassal king and kills his father, future generations will only say that the emperor is cold-blooded and ruthless, and persecuted the Lin family in order to keep the throne. ”

Mrs. Li sighed, "This time you go on the expedition, if the future king of Zhennan returns to Shun and pleads to the law, they are still good relatives, what are we?"

We are just the emperor's used up sword, and we don't bother to wipe the blood clean. If the emperor thinks that this sword is not suitable, our family will be killed. ”

Li Zongze gasped, looking at the lady in front of him a little stunned, boudoir daughter, where did you learn such a killing decision!

At night, the border was quiet, and after a battle just a few days ago, although it won a great victory, the army also lost a lot of combat power.

What's more, in the last battle, the trenches and city defenses were greatly damaged, and they have been stepping up construction for the past two days, but they are still paper tigers, just pretending.

The lights in the tents were slowly extinguished, leaving only the soldiers who patrolled the camp at night, and the sergeants who had been stationed in the tower.

Tu Ling ordered all the soldiers to stuff cotton between the iron pieces of their armor to prevent the sound of movement from making a sonorous sound.

Just after the moon, it happened to be a new moon night, and even the moonlight dimmed.

It has just snowed, and although it is cold in the snow, it is the most quiet, and the snow is sucking sound, which is the best time to raid.

Tu Ling led the army to the city defense, and set up a ladder to climb the city in groups of three, and slowly someone climbed the city tower.

The soldiers who climbed the tower first did not hesitate to kill the half-asleep garrison soldiers on the tower.

"Yes!"

A soldier spotted the sudden appearance of the enemy and was about to shout loudly, but his neck was wiped and blood splattered on the spot.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the city tower was already full of Tu Ling's people, and the soldiers who fought the first battle immediately rushed down the city tower and opened the city gate.

"Kill!"

Just after an hour, most of the soldiers were still asleep, Tu Ling led the soldiers directly into the city, and some soldiers were beheaded while they were still asleep.

In less than two hours, Tu Ling's army occupied this border fortress where there were only deputy generals and no generals.

Just counted the number of people, leaving the A-shaped army to garrison the city, and leaving the C-shaped army to open a warehouse and prepare to transport grain and grass to help the team that is about to go north.

The other people did not rest, so they followed Tu Ling and continued to ride north.

Deng Cheng is their next target, and within tomorrow, they must take Deng Cheng.

This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you don't take this city, I'm afraid that even what you have now will be lost.

Overnight, he led a group of light horsemen to Dengcheng first, and just after repairing outside the city for a while, it was time for the city gate to be opened to welcome the morning market.

Tu Ling led the army out of the woods, killing the soldiers guarding the city gate all the way, and the officers and soldiers defending the city in Deng Cheng had obviously not been trained for a long time.

The granary, which has always been the front line, has no sense of prevention at all.

At this moment, Tu Ling even thanked Coco Wu for making their sneak attack fail for the first time.

After all, arrogant soldiers are easy to lose, and for these soldiers who have no way to retreat, they can only rush forward in order to rush forward.

"The people of the King of Zhennan have come in!"

The morning market did not start as scheduled, but instead of the soldiers who were killed all the way.

The granary of Dengcheng, which was lost in an hour, and the Dengcheng Mansion that was occupied before noon.

In the afternoon, the backup army led by Ruoxuan entered Dengcheng all the way.

At this moment, Deng Cheng looks peaceful, and it is still Deng Cheng under the Emperor of Liang, but its ruling power has fallen into the hands of Tu Ling.

The officers guarding the city are now all tied up with five flowers, lined up like zongzi and displayed in the courtyard of the government office.

"Where is the general who defends the city?"

Tu Ling's question made everyone speechless, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and don't say a word.

"Are they all just married little daughters-in-law? One by one, they didn't even dare to speak? ”

The soldiers hated their teeth, but they still didn't speak, and after a while, an adjutant general finally spoke, "Guard General Chen Siyuan, abandon the city and flee!" ”

Tu Ling held a heavy sword in his hand, the blade of the sword slashed on the ground and made a piercing sound, and said with a smile: "I thought that Dengcheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I had to spend some energy, but I didn't expect it to be captured in half a day." Thank you so much for this timid guard. ”

The sun was about to set, and the cold seemed to come out of the ground, and the faces of the people who were tied up and kneeling on the ground slowly began to turn purple.

"Give you a chance not only to live, but also to regain your freedom. As long as you don't fight, and you don't have to submit to our army, we won't kill a single civilian in Dengcheng. I Tu Ling does what he says! ”

The soldiers fell in the courtyard, having long lost their fighting spirit, and when they heard such good things, they suddenly regained their spirits.

"But!"

Tu Ling personally loosened the ropes tied to these lieutenant generals with heads and faces.

"If someone is an enemy of me, or if he goes out of the city to report and is discovered, this person and his family and clan, none of them want to live!"

In Fancheng, not far from Dengcheng, the escort team of the chief eunuch had just settled in the largest inn in Fancheng.

Consistent with Qingjuan's prediction, this team really did not choose the post station in Fancheng.

It was in disrepair, and as soon as the carriages and horses arrived, the chief eunuch was disgusted with it, and immediately asked the officials of Fancheng to arrange a new place to live.

The adults of the government had already agreed with Qingwan to let them live in the largest restaurant in Fancheng, Wanquan Restaurant.

What the chief eunuch didn't know was that there was already an ambush of killers who wanted to rescue Wu Wen.
