Tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Gently pushed the door open, and the old housekeeper in the manor was still standing outside the door, "Sir, do you have something to look for me?"

"Mu Fan," Mr. Jia shouted with a smile.

The old butler was slightly stunned, this name had not been evoked for too many years, and when he heard this title at this time, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Mr. Jia stretched out his hand, and his slender finger was wearing a peculiar ring, and this ring was not inlaid with a gorgeous treasure jade diamond, but an ordinary black stone, the stone was obviously carved and polished to not look so abrupt, who would have thought that the rich man on the rich side would only wear such an inconspicuous ring. However, this stone, which was originally intact, was now broken.

"Mother and son stone, mother and son are connected, if the child stone is broken, the mother stone will also collapse?" the old butler laughed excitedly, "Our three-year appointment with the county lord has finally arrived. If the mother stone collapses, then the county lord will come! The county lord is finally here!"

Mr. Jia ordered noncommittally, "You go down first and sort out the useful supplies, it's time for them to come in handy." ”

"Understood, Mr. Jia. ”

"Huh?"

Mu Fan immediately straightened up, "Understood, General Luo Yu!" said and quickly made a regular summer night military salute.

It was late at night, and although the temporary camps in the northwest suburbs outside Qingxuan City looked brightly lit from the outside, the tents in these camps were already empty at this time, and on the Liuying Mountain in the north, not far from the camp, a large group of men and horses were marching with difficulty.

Although the mountains are high, the dense forest branches and foliage provide good shelter for this army.

When he walked to the mountainside, Wu Ming inadvertently looked back at the summer night iron army behind him, the rapid march for days caused these soldiers to be physically and mentally exhausted, although there was a short repair, but it didn't seem to play a substantial role, but even so, these iron-clad men did not make a word of complaint, like iron men followed behind Wu Ming, Zheng Xianyue and others.

Tan Qiudao whispered beside Wu Ming: "Master, Master Niang took us from Changmen Pass to march all the way here, and there was little rest on the way, such an intense march is naturally not a problem for people who practice martial arts such as us, but it is difficult to bear these ordinary people, although the summer night soldiers are elite divisions, they will definitely not be able to withstand such a toss." The elite soldiers are still like this, so the master is ...... I'm worried that her body can't bear such exertion, why don't you persuade her to take a break?"

When Wu Ming heard the word "Shi Niang", he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and secretly said that this Tan disciple spoke decently, but when it came to the back, Wu Ming couldn't help but glance at Zheng Xianyue, who was walking in front.

Zheng Xianyue's face was slightly pale at this time, or she pretended to be inadvertent in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but the stronger she became, the more sick she became, which made Wu Ming, who was close, feel pity, because he also knew that it was not easy for her to hold on to this point.

Although Wu Ming listened to Tan Qiudao's opinion and had the idea of dissuading her, looking at her flickering eyes, she seemed to be looking forward to something, and this expected thing should be very important to her. Wu Ming wanted to speak many times and stopped, but in the end, he still sighed.

As if in response to Zheng Xianyue's expectations, a blazing starlight lit up in the distant sky, and the starlight flew closer and closer, and crossed the heads of Wu Ming and the others like meteors.

Tan Qiudao narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Master, Senior Brother Man is back." As he spoke, he pulled out the sword, and carried the dragon fighting qi attached to the long sword, the long sword let out a long groan, and the light caused by the fighting qi echoed the brilliance of the meteor in the sky, and the meteor that had been far away seemed to be attracted by Tan Qiu Dao's fighting spirit, and turned a large arc in the air, and turned back again, and the meteor instantly fell three feet in front of Wu Ming.

The scorching breath dissipated, and Man raised his head and showed a sincere smile, "Master, Man is back." ”

Wu Ming coughed awkwardly and glanced at Zheng Xianyue apologetically, "I didn't expect my two stupid apprentices to make such a big fuss." Wu Ming looked back at the innocent-looking brute with an angry face, "It's good now, the enemy knows our location." ”

Zheng Xianyue shook her head slightly, "It's okay, the more commotion there is, the more suspicious the three generals in Qingxuan City will be, just because they don't dare to come to investigate the military situation of our Summer Night Army, the left and right are all bureaus, and no matter how they go, it will be a dead end, so it is better to still cower in the city, maybe they are also waiting for some opportunity to turn over at this time." ”

Wu Ming was confused when he heard this, but before he could react, he raised his throat and shouted, "County Lord, you have explained the task of the barbarian, and the man has completed it." ”

"Oh?" Zheng Xianyue was a little surprised, obviously the arrival of the barbarian was not what she expected.

Man directly threw down the package that straddled his back, and several people's heads suddenly rolled out of the package, making Wu Ming look creepy.

When Zheng Xianyue saw these heads, she probably guessed what Man had done, but she still quietly waited for Man's explanation.

Seeing that Wu Ming's face changed greatly, he explained again and again, "These are the patriarchs in the Edmund Grassland who are unwilling to submit to the county lord, and they are very anxious, and some patriarchs who seem to be vacillating in their positions have also been cut down by the way." ”

Wu Ming was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what was touched in his heart. For the first time, Wu Ming was full of doubts about what he was doing, in order to achieve his goal, he could do whatever it takes?

Wu Ming was silent...... Isn't what he is doing now an accomplice of the executioner? He is an innocent person, but he is killed just because he does not want to take refuge?

Although Zheng Xianyue was a woman, she was used to seeing this, and asked indifferently, "Have you seen all the patriarchs of the Edmund Grassland?"

Man hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, "Back to the county lord, all the patriarchs, Man has seen it, only one patriarch is the father of Man's former best friend, he is unwilling to take the clan away, but he will never have any hostility towards the county lord, I hope that the county lord can let him go if he meets in the future." Man thought of Ke Jier again, his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, and he patted his own strong chest, "He is willing to guarantee his life!"

"Now that you know the specific situation, are the tribes that are willing to submit to the lord of this county properly arranged?"

Nodding vigorously, "According to the county lord's orders, they have all set off, and they will soon arrive at Changmen Pass!"

Zheng Xianyue sorted out her thoughts, not long ago she asked General Wang Yue to return to guard Changmen Pass, presumably with his ability to manage the army, it should not be a big problem to manage these idle tribes.

Zheng Xianyue thought so, but she didn't expect Wu Ming to look at the head on the ground, and his heart was already in turmoil, if he didn't submit to it, he would have to die? What kind of crooked reasoning is this!
