Zhao Shisan originally thought that his news should be very exciting, and he could get Duan Jiu's praise and recognition, which made him happily shoot the case, and laughed: "Okay, Zhao Shisan really has you!"

As a result, Duan Jiu waved his hand coldly and said, "Got it, you can go back quickly." ”

Ling'er nodded and said, "Well, Brother Zhao, go back quickly, Brother Zhao, goodbye." ”

The interest that Zhao Shisan had just mentioned suddenly withered like a flower, he sighed and said, "That little ninth brother, I'm leaving." After speaking, he walked away slowly with his right foot, his back hung his head, looking very lonely and pitiful.

However, Duan Jiu didn't witness him leaving, Duan Jiu's eyes were already fixed on this map, according to this map, the only place that could enter the Runxia Hall was the main hall gate, because Zhao Shisan couldn't even touch the back door. There were also some inconsequential buildings, although the map was indeed amazing, which made Duan Jiu look at Zhao Thirteen with admiration, but this map was useless at all.

Duan Jiu respected the fruits of Zhao Shisan's labor, carefully took him into his arms, ate some desserts with Ling'er, and left.

On the way back, Duan Jiu asked the coachman about the battle situation between Ma Longwei and the Liansheng Mountain Range by the way, but he didn't expect that when the carriage heard this question, his face showed an expression of joy or sadness, and said calmly: "The battle has been over for a week, Brother Tai is a newcomer from other cities, right?"

Duan Jiu responded perfunctorily, and the coachman continued: "It's no wonder that you don't know, then I'm not afraid to tell you like a story." ”

On the first day of Ma Longwei's war, the bandits were afraid of killing each other, and presented Li Mole's head and hands to Ma Longwei, thinking that this could be done to negotiate peace, but Ma Longwei did not appreciate it, and regarded it as a victory, and increased the intensity of the attack. ”

"On the second day of the war, Huang Fu of Mangshan Zhai and Jin Wuyin of Black Bear Village also died at the hands of Ma Longwei. The people of the Liansheng Mountain Range, who had only been fighting for two days in this battle, had lost three generals, and they had already gained the upper hand. Ma Longwei was full of enthusiasm and continued to transfer troops to go deeper, but he didn't want to fall into the hands of the enemy, so he was ambushed in Tang Snake Village, and most of the troops were selected, and he suffered heavy losses, so he transferred his troops back to Tianfeng City. ”

The loss of this battle made Ma Longwei dare not enter easily, and it was not for nothing that he saw that the Liansheng Mountains were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Ma Longwei called a lot of masters in this battle, he didn't want to be among the bandits, there were also a large number of masters, and the two sides were at a stalemate, and they were deadlocked for five days in a row. ”

"On the sixth day, it happened to rain, it was the heavens to help Ma Longwei, Ma Longwei sent more than a dozen five-grade masters in the past to come in handy, so he didn't raise an attack, this battle, and then killed the two generals of the bandits in the Liansheng Mountains, namely Tang Snake of Tang Snake Village and Wei Yuan of Guangming Village. However, after this battle, his losses were not small, and only one of the dozen or so Wupin pilots was left, and he himself was injured. ”

In this way, the two armies were at a stalemate. The final battle of the battle had been fought a week earlier, when Ma Longwei's spies reported that the bandits of the Lian Rope Mountains had begun to flee because they knew that they were not the enemy. Ma Longwei was willing to let go of a bandit, so he pursued again, and as a result, he intercepted Chang Ying of the Red Eagle Village in the future, and the two fought, although Ma Longwei won, but he was seriously injured. Unable to pursue Yang Qinglong of Qinglong Village and Yang Jue of Huanglong Village, the two of them successfully escaped to Yujie City. Ma Longwei withdrew his troops with regret and returned to Tianfeng City. In this battle, on the surface, Ma Longwei won, but in fact, both sides were defeated, and no one won. Ninety percent of the hundreds of third-rank pilots, dozens of fourth-rank pilots, more than a dozen fifth-grade pilots, and thousands of ordinary officers and soldiers sent by Ma Longwei were killed in battle!"

Speaking of this, the coachman couldn't help but sigh, Duan Jiu didn't say a word throughout the whole process, and the coachman spoke freely, as if he hadn't complained like this for a long time.

As if thinking about something, he paused for a moment and suddenly sighed: "But this battle is not worth it, at least the bandits are destroyed." Since then, it has also been convenient for the people of Tianfeng City and Shaking Light City. ”

Duan Jiu knew at this time that the coachman had already answered the question he asked, and it was estimated that there was nothing to say, and the road was still long, so as not to listen to him sigh and sigh, it would be useful to listen to it again, so he asked again: "Then how is this Ma Longwei now?"

When the coachman heard this question, his tone was as calm as he said, "I was removed from the position of city lord by King Fengjing, and I guess I am recuperating from my injuries at home now." ”

Duan Jiu knew that the King of Fengjing in the mouth of this coachman was the ruler of the Su Dynasty Continent - Su Jingyan. He was incredulous at the coachman's answer, and it stands to reason that King Fengjing should reward Ma Longwei for his meritorious crusade, so how could he be dismissed?

The coachman said: "Originally, King Fengjing wanted to reward Ma Longwei for his meritorious service in defeating the bandits, but I heard that a minister pointed out Ma Longwei's four major sins, and King Fengjing was furious when he heard it, so he wanted to put Ma Longwei in prison, but some ministers persuaded Ma Longwei to fight for generations, and it was probably inappropriate to put him in prison. In the end, King Fengjing's bento Ma Longwei was able to resist with merit, and removed him from the position of the city lord of Tianfeng City, and Feng Gu Shiye replaced him. ”

Duan Jiu asked again, "What are these four sins?"

The coachman said: "First, Ma Longwei did not get the permission of King Fengjing to send troops without authorization, which is the crime of concealing the king; second, Ma Longwei originally had the ability to recruit the bandits, but he repeatedly pretended to be helpless, and secretly engaged in interests with the bandits, which is the crime of defrauding the king; third, because of the departure of his daughter, Ma Longwei did not consider the consequences of tens of millions of soldiers, and rashly set out to fight, causing heavy losses to the Soviet Dynasty, which is the crime of unauthorized power; fourth, during his reign, Ma Longwei deliberately oppressed the people of Tianfeng City and secretly hid taxes, which is the crime of corruption. These four crimes are enough to be charged with the nine clans. ”

Duan Jiu was thoughtful and asked again, "Then who is this Gu Shiye?"

After hearing this, the coachman shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well, I heard that he is a favored minister who has recently been appreciated by King Fengjing, but he is only in his thirties, and he can be regarded as the youngest city lord in Tianfeng City." ”

After listening to the coachman's explanation, Duan Jiu felt that everything seemed to be expected, but he also felt that there were still many doubts. He knew very well that this battle must have been arranged by others, and this result was exactly what that person wanted to see, or in other words, even the result was set by him.

Why were only Yang Qinglong and Yang Jue who escaped? Why did the main city of Tianfeng City pass on to Gu Shiye, who was not very senior as an official? Why did Yang Ziang know about the outbreak of war?

Even, Duan Jiu suddenly wondered at this time, why did the "village master" live in the Qinglong Cave? Why did he never see them in the Qinglong Village, even though there were ten major masters? Didn't they have to report directly to the "village master"? Or were the "village masters" still distributed in other corners of the Su Dynasty continent? Why did they find the Heavenly Maiden Xi in the first place? And why did it later turn out to steal the "Bloom Sutra"?

Duan Jiu's mind was full of question marks at this time, but no one could help him answer them, only him and Ling'er went to find the answers to these questions.

He was silent, his deep eyes looking at the flow of everything in the street in front of him, he knew that he was already in the cycle of nature, in the change of all things, and everything was moving in a certain direction......
