Not long after we lived in the city, news came from the capital that the Northern Emperor had released Xuanji Xuanya, the second daughter of the night emperor, and they stayed all night, which shows the Northern Emperor's love for them. The news of Zhang Heng's release also spread throughout the city, making the ghosts and ghosts of the city think that Zhang Heng and Xuanji Xuanya had reconciled.

However, not long after this news came out, another news came out from Xudu City, saying that it was because we pleaded with the Northern Emperor that the Northern Emperor released Zhang Heng, so that the Xudu City and others thought that Zhang Heng and Zheng had a personal relationship, and this news naturally reached the ears of the Northern Emperor.

When we heard the news, we were a little surprised, because we didn't publicize to the outside world that it was we who interceded with the Northern Emperor to release Zhang Heng, this news was obviously trying to frame Zhang Heng, but it was too inferior, the original intention of the Northern Emperor to release Zhang Heng He couldn't be clearer himself, how could he listen to these rumors outside?

The person who released these words wanted to help us, but they used an unscrupulous method to guess the identity of the person who released the news.

Wang Fangping is not familiar with us, but I know that he is one of the future generals of the Nine Shadows, so no matter what he says, he did not avoid him, Wang Fangping is very grateful for our trust, and also discussed it with us.

"Could this news be released by Xuan Ji Xuanya? wants to take advantage of this to bring down Zhang Heng. "Wang Fangping said, we have already told him about Xuan Ji Xuanya before.

Liu Cheng shook his head, "It shouldn't be them, they stay with Beidi all day, knowing the real reason why Beidi released Zhang Heng, they won't use this method." ”

I said, "It's Zhang Song, it was because of Zhang Song's report that the Northern Emperor expelled Zhao Wenhe." And Zhang Heng is a student of Zhao Wenhe, they are naturally hostile sides, and now that Zhao Wenhe is coming back, Zhang Song panicked. ”

They also figured it out immediately, but we didn't care about this matter, whether it was Zhang Song or Zhang Heng, they were not our people, they would let them go if they wanted to fight, how the Northern Emperor decided was his business, no matter who had an accident with these two people, it would be good for Zhengyi.

On the second day of our stay in the capital, the Northern Emperor suddenly summoned Zhang Heng and talked with Zhang Heng in the secret room, and everyone thought that the Northern Emperor was going to get rid of Zhang Heng this time, but after Zhang Heng and the Northern Emperor stayed in the secret room for a few hours, Zhang Heng left the secret room intact.

We are very curious about the content of this conversation, and the conversation between the two of them for a few hours must have made a big move.

Without waiting for us to investigate, part of the content of their conversation was leaked out by the left and right servants, the reason why the Northern Emperor summoned Zhang Heng was to be accountable, and the Northern Emperor had previously said that we should leave the capital as soon as possible, but Zhang Heng was left behind, and the Northern Emperor summoned Zhang Heng to ask the reason and investigate the responsibility. The final result was that Zhang Heng persuaded the Northern Emperor, who promised to let us stay in the capital for a few more days.

On the day the news broke, the Northern Emperor killed all eight people who were serving outside the secret room that day.

This proves that the news is true, and they do talk about the reasons why they left us in Xudu, but my gut tells me that this is not the whole story of their conversation, because it doesn't take more than a few hours to say.

The strange behavior of Beidi and Zhang Heng made us smell the danger, and the three of them got together to simulate the dialogue between Beidi and Zhang Heng, wanting to restore what they said.

But this kind of thing is too difficult, before we can discuss it clearly, suddenly a stone was thrown into the room from the window, I hurriedly picked up the stone, and then looked down, and saw the ghost soldiers gathering below, and a chariot passed by, and called the left and right servants and asked, "Is this the Northern Emperor traveling?" ”

The ghost soldier said, "It's two mothers traveling." ”

I was relieved that the stone must have been thrown to me by them, and I retreated into the house, and looked at the stone over and over again, but there was nothing on it, and finally I crushed the stone, and saw that there was a cloth the size of a fingernail in it, and there was only one word written on it: 'Run'.

I read this word and immediately understood what it meant, Beidi is going to do something to us.

Liu Cheng and Wang Fangping also understood, but Wang Fangping was puzzled, "We are going to Yin Si as envoys, and the two armies have not yet come to fight each other, and it is unreasonable for them to do something to us at this time." ”

Liu Cheng said, "Yin Si's strength is now much stronger than Zhengyi, and it is the best time to suppress Zhengyi at this time, and if it is delayed, there will be a situation where the two heroes will compete for hegemony." We are emissaries, and they would not have touched us, but what if they were not satisfied with the present truce? Killing the enemy messenger will inevitably lead to a war between the two sides, and Yin Si wants to use the killing of us as the beginning of the war between the two sides. ”

I went with Liu Chengxiang and said, "Now that we are in the enemy camp, the situation is very unfavorable for us, you leave the capital overnight and return to Zhengyi to prepare Zhang Daoling for battle." ”

"You're not leaving?" Yoo Seung asked me.

I said, "Yin Si is best prepared for battle, Zhengyi is not yet, at this time, the war Zhengyi will be defeated, we must delay time, delay until Zhengyi is ready for battle." ”

Liu Cheng immediately rejected my decision, "He is determined to kill us, how long can you delay?" How long can Beidi tolerate you? And now it is a lot weaker than Yin Si, and it is difficult to prepare for the battle without half a year, I don't believe that you can delay them for half a year, in addition, Zhao Wenhe is about to return, Zhao Wenhe and Zhang Heng have joined forces, how do you deal with it? ”

I didn't think about how to delay for the time being, but I had to do it, so I could only stay first, and then improvise, bypassing this topic, and said to Liu Cheng and Wang Fangping, "Zhengyi has been developing Taoist disciples during this time, and Yin Si has been preparing for war during this time. Along the way, the ghost soldiers have more rules than when they were in Youdu before, and their military quality cannot be made up in a short time, but Yin Si has a weak point, they don't have the ability to be strong enough generals, and they can work this to narrow the gap between Yin Si and Yin Si. ”

"There aren't many generals available in Zhengyi right now, even less than Yin Si." Liu Cheng said this practical problem, and the only ones who can use it are Zhang Daoling and him, and this Wang Fangping's ability is still unknown.

I said, "Taodu Mountain went to Shen Tu and Yu Lei, and persuaded them with Meng Po, they will definitely help." ”

A soldier bears a nest of bears. If you have the ability to be strong enough as a commander, even if the number is not as good as the other party, you will not necessarily lose, there are many such examples in ancient times, fighting against the water, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, such a battle has played a great role, I believe that Shen Tu and Yu Lei have such ability.

Wang Fangping also said at this time, "To start a war with the Yin Division, you don't necessarily need to use only a Taoist priest, I think those Yin Spirits in the Yang World can also be used." I've been in the Central Plains, where there are many ghosts, and I've got some fame there, and I think if I recruited them, they'd be willing to fight with me. ”

Liu Cheng and I both looked at Wang Fangping, and he was a little embarrassed.

Shen Di, Yu Lei, Wang Fangping, they are all characters in the Nine Shadows General, I seem to have seen the situation of the Nine Shadows Fighting for the Emperor, and I nodded hurriedly and said, "This is the best, junior brother, you go to Taodu Mountain, Wang Zhenren, you go to the Central Plains, and I will stay in Yin Si to delay time." ”

This plan is good, but Liu Cheng is unwilling to leave me alone in Yinsi, and said, "You are here alone, is it really okay?" ”

I said, "When do you think I've had a problem?" Let you go, where is so much nonsense, while the Northern Emperor has not done anything to us now, leave quickly. ”

Liu Cheng and Wang Fangping hesitated for a while before they got up and said goodbye to me, now Yin Si has not taken measures against us, it is not difficult to leave, they left the capital city all the way unimpeded.

I sat alone in the room and began to draw talismans. Less than half an hour after Liu Cheng and the others left, Zhang Heng led dozens of ghost soldiers to the door where I was, and said, "The Northern Emperor invites three of you, please come with me to the banquet." ”

As I drew the talisman, I said, "Did Mr. Zhao find it?" ”

Zhang Heng replied, "Mr. Lao is worried, he has been found, and he is on his way back to the capital city." ”

I sighed, finished drawing the last stroke of the rune paper, put down the pen and paper, picked up the rune paper, walked over and opened the doorway, "Please Mr. Zhang Heng lead the way." ”

Zhang Heng glanced into the room a few times, "What about your junior brother?" ”

I smiled, "There was something improvising, so they went back first." ”

Zhang Heng nodded, and didn't care much, "Beidi mainly wants to entertain Mr. Sun, as long as you are still there." ”
