The night is supposed to be quiet.

In the general's mansion garrisoned in Suizhou City, General Chen was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a series of impatient knocks on the door.

"Come in!" General Chen frowned, a little uneasy - it was not a good thing to call the door like this in the middle of the night.

"General, no! A large number of men and horses of the Nine Barbarians are gathering outside the city! The Commander looked panicked.

"What?" General Chen was stunned: "Nine barbarians? ”

Jiuman has obviously been subdued and surrendered by the Lord of Jiedu, how can it ......

"General, the subordinates were also surprised, but not only did they come, but they also held a golden order in their hands, saying that they were asked to come and carry grain!"

"! What kind of grain to move?! General Chen was furious: "This grain and grass is reserved for the army, how can it be given to them?" ”

"The subordinates also felt strange, but the subordinates checked it carefully, and this golden order was actually real." The commander held the golden order, General Chen took it and took a look, it was really true, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and then he picked up his armor: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

At this time, the gate of Suizhou City was tense.

The soldiers on duty all looked nervous, staring at the large number of barbarians gathered five meters away from the city gate - these men were very fierce, and although they could win the battle, the loss was not small - but this was not the point, the point was that they came too strangely.

Hu Man, the leader of the Nine Barbarians, rode on his horse and stared at the closed gate with great dissatisfaction, and just when his patience was almost exhausted, the gate finally opened, and General Chen and the commander rode out.

Seeing this, Hu Man immediately stepped forward and shouted at the top of his voice: "Jin Ling has been tested?" We've been waiting for a long time! ”

General Chen came to Hu Man: "Where did you get this golden order?" ”

Hu Man was confident: "Of course, it was sent by the Jiedu envoy." ”

"You said that it was sent by the Jiedu envoy, but I didn't receive any letter saying that you should come and carry the grain, so I can't let you in!"

"What do you mean?" Hu Man glared and said, "The golden order of the Jiedu envoy is useless? ”

"The grain and grass in the city are military food, how can the festival envoy let you come here to ask for food! Stop messing around, let's take your people away quickly! ”

"Let's go?" Hu Man shouted angrily: "We have worked hard for a day and a night, and you want us to go back empty-handed with a word?" ”

"And what do you want?!" General Chen said and directly pulled out half of the knife: "If you dare to come nonsense, you will be against the Lord of the Jiedu Envoy!" Don't blame us for the ruthlessness of our swords! ”

As soon as Hu Man was about to speak, the soldiers on the city wall set up their bows and crossbows one after another!

Seeing this, Hu Man was so angry that he gasped, his temper made him want to do it, but his sanity was still there - at such a distance, people were condescending, if they did it, the first round of arrow rain would kill and injure a lot, and more importantly, if they provoked Meng Zhixiang, their life would not be easy!

Hu Man tried hard to suppress his anger, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "You wait!" I'm going to ask you adults for an explanation! ”

Hu Man turned his horse's head, waved at the barbarians and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

The barbarians were puzzled, but they still obeyed the order to turn around and leave.

The commander and General Chen watched the barbarians evacuate together, and said worriedly: "General, they won't turn back, right?" ”

General Chen put his sword back into its scabbard: "They are just a bunch of barbarians who occupy the mountain as kings, how dare they dare to be enemies of adults!" ”

General Chen turned his horse's head and beckoned, and everyone withdrew to the city gate.

The gates of Suizhou City were closed again.

……

Meng Zhixiang came out of the house and closed the door lightly.

Song Zhi stepped forward and was softly concerned: "Master, how is the situation of Madame?" ”

Meng Zhixiang turned around and shook his head with a sad expression: "I don't have to worry about my life for the time being, but I'm afraid I can't be stimulated in the future, otherwise...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this fall. ”

Song Zhi's face was immediately embarrassed, Meng Zhixiang glanced at him, and hurriedly took his arm and walked a few steps to the side: "How?" Yiye ...... Got it? ”

Song Zhi turned around and saluted, and said sadly: "Master, please...... Condolences. ”

Meng Zhixiang was stunned for five seconds before gritting his teeth and saying, "Explain it!" ”

"We found the second son in the corpse pit of the Dong family's horses, and he was ...... Slit your throat and die. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhixiang took two steps back and smashed his fist on the pillar: "Tang Xiang!" I'm going to peel you and pull your tendons! I'm going to use your head...... No...... Not only yours, but also the one named Hua Rou, I will use your heads to pay tribute to my sons! ”

……

"What did you say?" Commander Zuo grabbed the barbarian's collar and asked sharply, "They entered the secret passage?" ”

The barbarian looked terrified: "Yes, they took the golden order and said that they were ordered to borrow the way, and our boss let them in......"

Commander Zuo was so angry that he pushed the barbarians away: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly lead us into the army!" ”

"Yes, yes, this way, this way......"

The left and right commanders immediately followed with their men.

"Wait!" The right commander felt that something was wrong: "What about you Boss Hu?" ”

"He was ordered by the lord to take people to Suizhou to move grain and receive the reward!"

The Right Commander and the Left Commander glanced at each other and said angrily, "This bastard has a lot of tricks! ”

"It's important to catch people and do things." Commander Zuo turned around and pointed out a cronie scout and ordered, "You go back immediately and tell Mr. Song about this." ”

"Yes."

……

In the secret passage, Mu Junwu helped Tang Xiao to hurry up.

Silence can be embarrassing and uncomfortable, so the two of them will find something to talk about from time to time.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Tang Xiao remembered all the things he had witnessed Mu Junwu doing before, and his heart was floating with admiration: "How did you come up with it?"

"After all, I'm a disciple of the agency room."

"There's no such thing in the formation mechanism of the Organ Fang Sect, right?"

Mu Junwu said with a smile: "Take one corner, if you don't use three corners, you won't be able to do it." ”

Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and praised sincerely: "You are really talented, no wonder she likes you." ”

Mu Junwu smiled lightly and was silent.

"If she had known me earlier......"

Mu Junwu immediately interrupted: "Then it won't be you." ”

Tang Xiao looked at Mu Junwu: "Why?" ”

"Because of her, it must be mine."

Tang Xiao looked at the kind of kingly confidence in Mu Junwu's eyes, and smiled, but a touch of bitterness flashed in this smile.

……

"By the way, when you were in Chengdu Mansion, did you see Lord Feng?" At the exit of the secret passage, Hua Rou, who was waiting, was also chatting with Yu'er.

"What do you ask her for?"

"Our mission is to assassinate Meng Zhixiang, but it has become like this before we can do it, and we don't know ...... Feng Lord."

Yu'er interrupted angrily: "She's dead!" ”

"Dead?" Hua Rou looked at Yu'er in surprise: "How did you die?" Was she killed by Meng Zhixiang? ”

Yu'er stared at Hua Rou and sighed helplessly: "Hua Rou, Lord Feng betrayed us, if it weren't for her, these dangers we are experiencing now would not have happened!" ”

Hua Rou raised her eyebrows: "Could it be that it's your ......?"

"That's right! I killed it! Yu'er's eyes were fierce: "Whoever betrays us must die!" ”
