Chapter 134: Changle Bow (1st Update)
Duan Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Got it." Then he asked, "What about people?" β
The officer said, "Wait outside the city gates." β
Duan Xiao said, "Bring him over." β
The officers and soldiers responded, "Yes." "Go down immediately, bring Huang Xianggui over, Huang Xianggui came alone, holding the widow, and said to Duan Xiao, "The former general obeys the order." β
Duan Xiao knelt down to receive the order.
Pang Wen also knelt down.
Tian Jiayan, Wang Shuo, Huo Chao, Wei Lin, and Li Xu also knelt on the ground.
Huang Xianggui unfolded the holy decree and read, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, I set up a testament here, if one day accidentally returns to the west, Duan Xiao is specially given as the general of the prison country, and in the troubled times, Kuang helped my Yun dynasty, the three armies of the Golden Tiger Fu, the Imperial City Forbidden Army, and the major civil and military generals need to listen to their orders. β
This testament was forged by Xue Wei, Huang Xianggui knew very well, because Xue Wei threatened him when he forged it, although he was loyal to Yun Chun, but Yun Chun was dead, he wanted to save his life, so he naturally had to serve another master, who to serve? Yunsu? Probably he will be killed before he reaches the door of the Nine Kings' Mansion, Xue Wei can't do it, Xiao Xiong can't do it, these two people follow Yun Chun, but they are held by Yun Chun, they are not free, for Yun Chun, they still retain a little bit of master and servant affection, but for him such a eunuch, then there is no affection at all, it is very dangerous to stay in the capital, and he will die at any time, yes, Huang Xianggui finished reading the testament, handed the holy decree to Duan Xiao, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "The emperor is dead, from now on you are the general of the prison country, The old slave will serve you like the emperor. β
Pang Wen was shocked and screamed, "The emperor is dead? β
Huang Xianggui said with a sad face, "Well, just ten days ago. β
Tian Jiayan frowned and asked, "Why is it so sudden?" β
Wang Shuo also said, "The emperor was fine when we left Beijing, was he sick or an accident?" β
Huang Xianggui sighed and said, "The old slave really doesn't know how this happened, since the Nine Princes led the Zhengwu Army to besiege the imperial city, the emperor went to the imperial mausoleum, the imperial mausoleum is guarded by the Xiao family, it stands to reason that there will be no accident, but it is ...... On that day, the emperor died in the imperial mausoleum, and at the scene of death, the nine princes were there, and he also gave the emperor's dragon body to ...... Scattered ashes for broken bones. β
When Huo Chao, Wei Lin, and Li Xu heard this, their eyes were as big as copper bells in an instant, and the three of them jumped up, Huo Chao said angrily, "Yunsu, he dares!" β
Wei Lin looked deep and said, "He used the East and West Tiger Army to drag me and the other three, is it just to kill the emperor?" β
Li Xu said with a cold face, "No matter what the reason, if he dares to destroy the emperor's dragon body, he is guilty of bullying the king, and we will never let him go." β
Duan Xiao squinted, unfolded the holy decree in his hand and looked at it again, and then handed the holy decree to Huang Xianggui, Huang Xianggui looked at him puzzled, Duan Xiao said, "If you want to stay by my side, you will keep these things in the future." β
Huang Xianggui was so excited that he didn't know what to do, he said again and again, "Yes, yes, what the general handed over to the old slave, the old slave must keep it properly, and never lose a piece." β
Duan Xiao responded and didn't say anything, but Tian Jiayan and Wang Shuo glanced at Huang Xianggui's face, and then moved away quietly, Huo Chao took a step forward, and rushed Duan Xiao to ask for help, "General, let the last general take 50,000 elite soldiers to clean up the East and West Tiger Army." β
Duan Xiao smiled and asked, "Haven't you cleaned up before?" β
Huo Chao was stunned, and his face immediately showed a look of weakness, Duan Xiao looked at it, there was no emotion on his face, but he smiled coldly in his heart, he thought, if it weren't for Yun Chun's death, these people would probably still pretend to be the attitude, neither going to the land of Sanyuan Lake to help him quell the rebellion, nor being really hostile to the East and West Tiger Army, heh, but Yun Chun died, or died under his deliberate arrangement, so, praying mantis and cicadas, yellow finches and him, who is the final winner?
Duan Xiao squinted and smiled, glanced at Huo Chao, and said, "If you have the heart to kill the enemy, I will naturally fulfill you." β
Huo Chao was grateful, not only because Duan Xiao didn't pursue his previous attitude of only fighting with the East and West Tiger Army, but also because Duan Xiao gave him the opportunity to avenge Yun Chun.
Duan Xiao assigned any, the so-called striking while the iron was hot, robbing while the fire was hot, and now the three armies of the Golden Tiger Fu were all indignant and vengeful because of Yun Chun's death, then he would give them a chance, Duan Xiao asked Huo Chao to lead 50,000 infantry to meet the East and West Tiger Army head-on, and sent Wei Lin to take 30,000 cavalry to go around the two wings of the East and West Tiger Army in a roundabout way, harassing the camp, and sending Li Xu to ambush tens of thousands of archers around the Changle Pass, as long as the East and West Tiger Army rushed out of the encirclement, they would shoot them to death with random arrows, and wait for the three armies to finish. Duan Xiao called Tian Jiayan and Wang Shuo to a place where no one was around, and said to them, "Have you heard about the incident of me killing Su Xi, Su Yan, and Su Huan, the three girls of Su Mansion in Sanyuan Lake?" β
Tian Jiayan frowned and said, "I heard." β
Wang Shuo also said, "I heard about it." β
Duan Xiao said in a deep voice, "Therefore, Su Bagong issued an order to kill me and my Duan family's army to the gate lord army under the Su Mansion. β
Tian Jiayan and Wang Shuo were all taken aback, "What! β
Duan Xiao said, "It's true. β
Wang Shuo immediately asked, "What do you want to do?" β
Duan Xiao pursed his lips, stretched out his left hand and patted Wang Shuo's shoulder, and then stretched out his right hand to pat Tian Jiayan's shoulder, although these two people are from Kyoto, they can be regarded as from the second-class rich family in Kyoto City, but they treat him sincerely, never false, and the Tian family and the Wang family have always been suppressed by the Yun family, the Xue family, the Lu family, and the Xiao family, and they can't turn over, even if there are many outstanding people in these two families, they are never reused, if it weren't for these two people who won his heart and were sincere and shrewd, Duan Xiao would not have been able to recommend them to Yun Chun, Of course, the most important thing is that Duan Xiao sees a similar self in these two people, every man has a frivolous and uninhibited time when he is young.
Tian Jiayan and Wang Shuo have the shadow of Duan Xiao when he was ten years old, and Duan Xiao believes in them as much as he believes in himself.
Duan Xiao said to Wang Shuo, "Su Bagong has a lot of power, and there are many gate lords under him, and if he wants to kill me, the people he sent will not be sent anywhere, so I want you and Tian Jiayan to secretly hide with 30,000 troops on the official road that must be passed through to enter Changle Pass, and intercept and kill these people." β
This is a very dangerous task, but Wang Shuo didn't blink his eyes, didn't hesitate for a moment, and said, "If you hand over your rear to me, I will let those thieves come and go!" β
Tian Jiayan also said with a heavy face, "I will also guard the rear for you." β
Duan Xiao said, "In addition to you, I will also send a part of the Duan family army to ambush you behind." Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, he said again, "It's not that I doubt your loyalty to me, but since these people are under Su Bagong, their strength must not be weak, and I don't want the two of you to be in danger." β
Wang Shuo and Tian Jiayan said movingly, "General Xie." β
Duan Xiao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." β
When the two of them went down, Duan Xiao took Pang Wen and Huang Xianggui back to Guandi, and after he went back, he asked Pang Wen what to do, Pang Wen was slightly depressed for a while, and still responded, what should I do.
Duan Xiao took Huang Xianggui to the dining hall, in the dining hall, Han Liao had just finished eating, and was rinsing his mouth with a mouthwash cup, Liu Dadao had just put down his chopsticks, and Song Fanhua, Feng Ying, and Liu Baomi were still eating slowly and methodically.
As soon as Duan Xiao came in, Han Liao saw it, and at the same time saw Huang Xianggui following behind Duan Xiao, Han Liao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huang Xianggui, then put the cup down and asked Duan Xiao, "Everything has been arranged?" β
Duan Xiao snorted, walked in across the threshold, found a vacant place to sit, and after sitting firmly, he asked the government soldiers who were waiting on the side to add double bowls and chopsticks, the government soldiers should be, they didn't dare to delay for a second, and immediately went to get the dishes and chopsticks, and when they were set, Duan Xiao glanced at Song Fanhua, and saw that she frowned slightly, drinking the white porridge in the bowl, Duan Xiao glanced at the dishes on the table again, the dishes were very good, there were fish and meat, quite rich, but there was no Song Fanhua's favorite roast chicken, Duan Xiao twisted his eyebrows, and said to the Fu soldiers, "Go outside and buy a roast chicken back, I want to burn it fresh." β
The soldiers were stunned for a moment.
Duan Xiao glanced at him and raised his eyes to look at him, "Didn't you understand?" β
When the soldiers were looked at by him, they immediately felt a chill on their faces, and he immediately said, "I'll buy it." β
Duan Xiao snorted, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but the girl who was frowning and drinking white porridge opened her mouth, and Song Fanhua said, "No need, I'm already full." β
The soldiers walked to the door and paused, not knowing who to listen to, and the pestle was not advancing there, nor was it retreating.
Duan Xiao asked Song Fanhua, "Are you full?" β
Song Fanhua snorted, pushed away the bowl in her hand, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Duan Xiao glanced at her, and then looked at Feng Ying and Liu Baomi, who had lost their chopsticks one after another, Ji'er raised his head and said to the soldiers, "Then you don't need to buy it." β
The soldiers wiped the sweat from their foreheads, responded in a low voice, and went to the side.
Han Liao pursed his lips and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, and my heart is biased, why don't you ask me if I'm full of food, and if I want to eat roast chicken?" β
Duan Xiao glanced at him and said, "If you want to eat, you can buy it yourself." β
Han Liao pretended to be hurt and scolded him with his heart, "It is said that women are like clothes, and brothers are like siblings, but when these words come to you, they will become women like siblings and brothers like clothes?" β
Kazezakura couldn't stop laughing.
Han Liao raised his eyes and glared at her, "What are you laughing at!" β
Feng Ying clenched his fist with one hand to his lips and coughed lightly, "Han Gongzi speaks wittily and makes people laugh, and the jokes are told, and no one is allowed to laugh?" β
Han Liao glared at her, "Even if it's funny, you are not allowed to laugh." β
Feng Sakura snorted and sneered, "My mouth grows on me, I can laugh if I want, and I don't care about you." β
Han Liao choked and thought to himself, how can Song Fan's tricks be as annoying as her! He wasn't interested in messing with Duan Xiao anymore, so he got up directly and went out.
Duan Xiao didn't care about him, he just lowered his head and ate.
Song Fanhua took Feng Ying to eat, and walked in the courtyard, Feng Ying grabbed Song Fanhua and said, "I want to see my second brother." β
Song Fanhua asked, "Are you sure Feng Ze is in the hands of Duan Jiajun?" β
Feng Sakura nodded seriously, "Sure." β
Song Fanhua thought for a while and said, "Then when Duan Xiao has eaten, I'll go to him and ask." β
Feng Ying hugged her happily and said with a grateful face, "Song Liu, thank you." β
Song Fanhua smiled, "Do you know that Song Liu is my fake name for you, and you still call me like that?" β
Feng Sakura said, "I think Song Liu is kinder. β
Song Fanhua said, "Then it's up to you." β
Kazezakura chuckled softly, "Hmm. Then he grabbed her hand, shook it up like a sister, shook it while walking, and said while walking, "I haven't had a mother since I was a child, it was my father who pulled me up, when I was a child, Feng Ze was naughty, and he could play with me, but then he gradually became strange, often stayed outside and didn't come back, and my father was busy with things in the drunken city, and rarely cared about me, I played with a whip when I was bored, and at first I thought it was fresh and fun, but after a long time, I got tired of it, and I always wanted my father to continue a string and give me a sister or brother, But my father refused to live or die. Speaking of this, she sighed heavily, "I probably won't have another sister in my life." β
Song Fanhua glanced at her with a smile, then glanced at Liu Baomi behind her, and said softly, "I thought you regarded Liu Baomi as a sister." β
Feng Sakura raised her hand and stroked her forehead, "She is a foodie, she thinks she is a sister." β
Liu Baomi heard it and pouted angrily, but didn't say anything.
Liu Dadao looked at Feng Ying in a daze, then at Liu Baomi, and thought that he was not his sister in the first place.
Song Fanhua said with a smile, "You don't look like a master and servant when you get along with Liu Baomi, you look like a sister." β
Feng Sakura snorted and asked her, "You are fifteen years old?" β
Song Fanhua smiled, "Yes." β
Feng Sakura said, "I'm seventeen." β
Song Fanhua sighed, probably guessed what she wanted to do, but pretended not to know, and shut up and didn't say much.
Feng Sakura said, "Although the way the two of us play the mask for the first time seems to be a little wrong, I like you very much, or would you be my sister?" β
Song Fanhua said with a smile, "When my sister has to pay a lot, for example, she has to stand in front of me when she fights, she has to rush up when I am bullied, and when I am in danger, ......"
Before she finished speaking, Feng Sakura said arrogantly, "I'm here with you, I will never let others hurt a single hair of you." β
Song Fanhua looked at her, paused slightly, and asked, "Even if you stand in front of me, you are likely to die, are you willing?" β
Feng Sakura said, "If you have family affection, you can't shirk your responsibilities, I'm willing." β
Song Fanhua squinted, she actually knew what Feng Ying's purpose was to recognize her as her sister, it was nothing more than for Feng Ze, if Feng Ze was really in the hands of Duan Jiajun, it must have some kind of reason to be detained by Duan Jiajun, even if Feng Ying obeyed her, it was likely that she would not be able to keep Feng Ze, but if she recognized her as her sister, the situation would be different, she was Duan Xiao's fiancΓ©e, and now she has become Feng Ying's sister, Duan Xiao naturally looks at this relationship, and will not do anything to Feng Ze, and then save Feng Ze's life, no matter at any time, Feng Ze will not die.
Song Fanhua smiled, looked up at the sky slightly, Changle Pass in December was not cold at all, probably because of the climate, probably because of the terrain here, in short, neither cold nor hot, the temperature was just right, this kind of weather is really suitable for shopping, playing, hiking or horse racing with friends, but unfortunately, now that Duan Xiao's danger is coming, her danger is also coming, and she is really not in the mood to have fun.
Song Fanhua thought of Yunsu, retracted her gaze lightly, and said to Feng Ying, "Okay, I can accept such a powerful sister as you, it's an honor for Sansheng." β
Kazezakura immediately grabbed her hand and said cheerfully, "Let's go, bow down." β
Song Fanhua was stunned, "Huh? β
Feng Ying had already dragged her to the door, Liu Baomi and Liu Dadao glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
Out of the street, Feng Ying drove Song Fanhua lightly and flew longitudinally, crossed a few jacked eaves, and went to a Guan Gong Temple, after landing, Feng Ying pointed to the three big characters engraved on the temple door, and rushed to Song Fanhua, "In Changle Pass, all the brothers and sisters who have walked through the Jieyi Temple, life and death are together, and they will never betray." β
Song Fanhua looked up at the big characters and said with a smile, "This is a good place." β
Feng Sakura snorted, took her hand, spread it out, raised her hand again, spread it out, put the two spread hands together, Feng Sakura shouted at Liu Dadao, "Go to the knife!" β
Liu Dadao's expression was awe-inspiring, and he pulled back with one hand, and the snow-white cold light immediately slashed in, Song Fanhua only felt the dazzling white light flashing in front of her, followed by a pain in her fingertips, and looked down, and saw that she and Feng Ying's spread out palm drew a neat knife line, until the blood dripped down, she was startled, and the pain of cutting flesh came out, she was stunned, and asked, "This is?" β
Feng Sakura said, "In our Drunken Wind City, there is a folk rumor, not biological brothers and sisters, before the righteousness must be a knife and blood, meaning that the blood is connected, since then the father and brother share the same share, the sisters share the same share, this is the ancestral system, but also the rules, of course, because I am a person from the Drunken Wind City, I will do it according to our local customs, but you are a person from Hengzhou, you can also do it according to the customs of your people in Hengzhou." After that, he turned his head and asked, "You Hengzhou people are worshipping, do you have anything to pay attention to?" β
Song Fanhua said with a smile, "Jing Long, but there are no dragons here." β
Feng Sakura twisted her eyebrows, "Why do you want to honor the dragon?" β
Song Fanhua said, "Because I want the testimony of the dragon." He pursed his lips and said, "We people in Hengzhou claim to be the descendants of the dragon, so we must respect the dragon when we worship." β
Kazezakura said, "There are no dragons here. β
Song Fanhua smiled, "Yes." β
Liu Baomi said at this time, "Duan Gongzi once served as the Taishou of Hengzhou, and he was very loved by the locals, so he must be like a dragon, so why don't you respect him?" β
Song Fanhua was stunned.
Kazezakura clapped her hands and said, "Great idea! β
Song Fanhua's forehead twitched, Feng Ying grabbed her hand again, and said to her, "Duan Gongzi, we will pay respects later, now that we are on the territory of Changle Pass, then we will respect Guan Gong here." Saying that, he pulled Song Fanhua into the temple, and in the temple, the two kowtowed to the statue of Guan Gong, drank blood wine, and swore an oath, and then returned to Pang Wen's mansion to find Duan Xiao.
Duan Xiao is now entangled in military affairs, and he does not dare to relax at any time, although the layout of all parties is already in place, he still sits in the study rigorously, thinking about the various accidents that may occur and how to deal with them when the accident comes.
Huang Xianggui was guarding outside the door of the study, and when he saw Song Fanhua following Feng Ying, he immediately reported to Duan Xiao through the door, "General, your fiancΓ©e is here." β
Duan Xiao said, "Let her in." β
Huang Xianggui responded, and opened the door before Song Fanhua walked over, and when Song Fanhua came over, Huang Xianggui smiled kindly at her directly and said, "The general let you in." β
Song Fanhua smiled, "Thank you." "Pull the wind and Sakura will enter.
Huang Xianggui closed the door again and stood quietly at the door.
Duan Xiao sat behind the desk, looked at Song Fanhua with his cheeks half-propped up, and asked with a smile, "Come to me for something?" β
Song Fanhua said, "Something." β
Duan Xiao asked, "What's the matter?" β
Song Fanhua glanced at Feng Ying, motioned to her, Feng Ying was not polite, and said directly to Duan Xiao, "I want to bow to the sixth sister, listen to her, you Hengzhou worship to worship the dragon, but Changle Guan has no dragon, you used to be Hengzhou Taishou, deeply loved by the locals, although not a dragon, but respected as a dragon, so, we want to come to respect you." β
Duan Xiao was stunned, and said in surprise, "You want to worship?" β
Kazezakura said, "Hmm. β
Duan Xiao looked at Song Fanhua, and after a while, he threw a sentence, "You come here." β
Song Fanhua pursed her lips, glanced at him, and said, "You don't have to move when you sit, we can just take the wine and toast you." β
Duan Xiao twitched his forehead, got up and kicked away the chair, approached her, and asked, "Do you have to bow down?" β
Song Fanhua said, "It's already a farewell, you are here for the last step." β
Duan Xiao was speechless, stared at her for a long time, and finally agreed without principle, although it was not difficult to guess Feng Ying's intention with Duan Xiao's shrewd mind, but Song Fanhua was not stupid, she agreed, she must also have her intentions, Duan Xiao turned back and sat back in the chair, called Huang Xianggui to put the wine pot and pour wine, and let him go out, Song Fanhua and Feng Ying each had a glass, salute Duan Xiao, respect, Duan Xiao didn't leave them, let them go out.
When Song Fanhua and Feng Ying left the study, Duan Xiao summoned Wufang out and asked him, "It's been so many days, and Zhu Licong hasn't killed Ma Huaiyan yet?" β
There is no way, "No, in terms of force alone, Ma Huaiyan is not necessarily Zhu Licong's opponent, but this is Qiongzhou, Ma Huaiyan is extremely familiar with the surrounding terrain, Zhu Licong has said that Ma Huaiyan's kung fu is first-class, he injured him with a sword, but failed to kill him, now where Ma Huaiyan is hiding Zhu Licong doesn't know, he is still looking for it." β
Duan Xiao rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't look for it, withdraw him." β
Wufang sighed and asked, "Why don't you look for it?" β
Duan Xiaoyu concluded, "Just Song Fanhua and Feng Ying bowed, as soon as the two of them bowed, then Feng Xiangting and we are the people along the way, Yuanfeng and Ma Huaiyan are sworn brothers with Feng Xiangting, the relationship between these three people is closer than that of brothers, if I kill Ma Huaiyan at this time, what face do you let Song Fanhua take to see Feng Ying in the future?" β
Wufang touched his head, indicating that he didn't quite understand, "How could the sixth girl follow Feng Sakura?" β
Duan Xiao sighed, "The devil knows. "But she never thinks about things, nor does she do things casually on a whim, she must have her intentions in doing this, and I follow her." After a pause, he said, "Actually, this is also good for us, at least, Feng Ying and Song Fanhua have bowed, and the threat from Yuanfeng, Ma Huaiyan, and Feng Xiangting will be completely lifted, and when we deal with the killers sent by Yunsu, the East and West Tiger Army, and Su Bagong, we don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back." β
Wufang smiled, "Indeed." β
Duan Xiao sighed, and said, "Don't call the night, I have something to ask him." β
There was no way to respond, and went down to call Ye Bu Ming, and after Ye Bu Ming came, Duan Xiao didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "You caught Feng Ze?" β
Ye Buming smiled, "About this matter, I haven't had time to tell you yet, we didn't plan to take that kid with us, it was completely cumbersome, but Gao Yutie said, this person is Su Xiang's son, who is Su Xiang?" Su Bagong's son, Su Bagong issued a hunt and kill order to the young master and the Duan family, so we took him with us, and when necessary, we used him as a meat shield. β
The corners of Duan Xiao's mouth twitched and asked, "Where is he now?" β
Ye Buming said, "In Gao Yutie's hands." β
Duan Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Go and ask Gao Yutie to bring people over." β
Ye Buming asked, "Does the young master want to judge that kid?" β
Duan Xiao said, "Bring it over and take a look, Su Xiang's son who was left behind, I want to see what it looks like." β
