Tu 7, Ruoxiao brought back three people: one is Zhu Wu, the small leader of the guards of Hu'an Palace, one is Ruo 'Chun' Pei's henchman Ruozhu, and the other is Pu Yancang's confidant Cunhui.

Seeing that these three people were coming, Tu Tianqi felt a little relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and met them on the beach.

Fan Xiaohu saw Cunhui, and his heart was a little calmer, but he thought: Father-in-law Park Yancang must be extremely conflicted when he participates in this operation.

Fan Xiaohu thought while keeping up with the ruler.

Ruo' Chun Pei's henchman Ruozhu took the lead in reporting the situation: "Last night, the major event of Hu'an Mountain has been decided, and Xiangmei and the main accomplices have been arrested. I brought the order of the Emperor of Yi: General Tianqi is invited to personally mention the father and son of the Xiang family to Hu'an Palace, and General Fan Xiaohu is temporarily in charge of the Sanhekou Boat Division Battalion. ”

The two said: "Listen to the order!"

Pu Yancang's confidant Cunhui continued: "General Park ordered me to come and inform me that the mountain division has completely controlled the grassland of Hu'an Mountain, there has been no major disturbance, and the prince, son, and wife are all safe and sound. ”

When he heard these two good news, he fell to the ground all night with worry, took a deep breath, but sweat poured out of his vest.

Ruoxiao is most concerned about the specific situation of Hu Anshan, worried about whether his father has made a mistake, and urgently asks how to arrest Xiangmei and others.

Zhuwu briefly reported the process that is not necessarily simple to do, but it is very simple to say:

According to Ruo' Chun Pei's plan, Zhu Wu did the work of the big chef Mu Zida (the eldest brother of Mu Zisan, the owner of the 'Dong' Garden) who remained in the Hu'an Palace, and asked him to take advantage of the good opportunity to provide food security for the guards inside, and give the guards, especially a few leaders, more delicious food from time to time to establish a good relationship with them. After a long time, the guards gradually lost their vigilance against Mu Zida.

On the day of the operation, Mu Zida specially prepared his spicy and good dish mutton 'meat' soup, and deliberately postponed the meal time under the pretext that the mutton 'meat' was undercooked, so as to act well in the evening.

Before the meal, Mu Zida added 'medicine' to the guards' dinner (similar to the later 'Mongolian' and Han 'medicine', but the specific 'medicine' used by the Ba people can no longer be verified), turned the guards to the ground, and was taken advantage of the opportunity of duty by Zhuwu to quietly put in the Lao Zhai warriors and their accomplices. This action was silent, and Hu'an Palace was unaware of it.

Then, taking advantage of Xiangmei's fixed habit of going into the Hu'an Palace to inspect once before falling asleep accompanied by his henchmen and cockroaches every day after dark, Xiangmei and his entourage were arrested, released the imprisoned owner of the Hu'an Palace, and closed the Hu'an Palace.

At the same time, Chang Renzhi, the small leader of the mountain division, led his accomplices to arrest Xiangmei's other cadres.

Most of the samurai of the Lao Village of the Yu clan and the samurai of the Zheng clan who quietly entered the city, under the leadership of Gu Ding and others, secretly outflanked the camp of Xiangmei's brake sword 'Lang' and Xiangfu respectively in the dark night.

The comedy happened again, Xiangshan's newly promoted mountain master Wu Baichang was tenacious, thinking that he was favored by Xiangshan's father and son, and his discipline was a little lax, and the main general Pu Yancang also opened one eye and closed one eye, at this time he was not in the barracks, but was drinking and having fun outside, smelling that the situation was not right, and ran into the 'wave' pawn camp with his entourage to hide for his life, and at the same time encouraged the 'wave' pawns to kill into the Hu'an Palace, and the treasure 'women' were robbed casually.

No, some of the 'prodigal' pawns were beaten and scolded by Tho Ren and others, and they heard the shouts from outside that Xiangmei had been killed and there was no need to work for him anymore, so they began to waver.

As soon as the king of Hades fell, the imp lost his position, and although the 'promoval' pawn had almost lost his human 'nature', after all, he was still a human being, and he was not forced to do so, who was willing to die in vain? Several leaders of the 'profuse' pawns discussed it, but instead arrested Tho Ren and his entourage and gave them to the Danding.

He knew that the 'propatic' pawns were all outlaws, and although they were ready for a bloody battle, they still preferred to attack the heart, so they let people shout at the beginning. Seeing that the 'Lang' pawn sent out Tho Ren, Yu Ding and the leaders of the 'Lang' pawn reached an agreement: the two sides remained in place and avoided a bloody battle.

After many days of thinking, coupled with the repeated analysis and persuasion of his confidants, he had to admit that the two evils can only be taken over the lesser of the lesser of the two, and in the face of major rights and wrongs, he must not stand on the wrong side and sacrifice the Xiang clan, which is the overall situation of the stability and unity of the Hu'an Mountain tribe, and is also the best choice for himself and the Pu clan.

When Pu Yancang heard the secret report that Hu'an Palace had "had an accident," he knew that his only correct decision now was to stabilize the mountain division and stabilize Hu'an City, and do his best to reduce the number of deaths, so he immediately issued an order: The mountain division entered a state of emergency, everyone was on standby, and if anyone left the camp, they would be killed immediately; at the same time, people shouted along the alleys: The whole city of Hu'an City is under martial law, and no one is allowed to move on the streets, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Hu'an City, otherwise no matter the 'chicken', duck, cat, or dog, it will not be played after the killing.

The centurions of the two divisions of Xiangmei and Tho Ren directly received the order of the commander-in-chief, and they had doubts in their hearts, but the two Wu Baichang were not in the barracks, and they couldn't guess what was happening, and not everyone was interested in Xiang's family, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

And the foundation of the horse army led by Xiangshan father and son's henchman Cuncun, which was originally the old department of Gu Ying, had already been secretly manipulated by Yu Ding, although because the composition of the personnel was no longer as pure as before, no one led it, so it did not move.

At the same time, Pu Yancang also issued another very important order: he ordered his nephew Pu Kun and other most reliable mountain warriors to surround the Hu'an Palace, but they did not attack it, under the pretext that the incident happened suddenly, and everything had to wait for the head of the 'gate' to rush back, which essentially played a role in preventing the dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry and people with ulterior motives taking advantage of the 'chaos' to attack the Hu'an Palace. Of course, it also left a way for himself to be left and right.

Return to the mouth of the Three Rivers.

At this time, the main general of the boat master, Tu Tianqi, was most concerned about the result, and was not too interested in the process, so he asked Zhu Wu to elaborate later, and ordered to summon the boat master and the leaders of the warriors of the various tribes who came to participate in the exercise, and issued a strict order that Fan Xiaohu would temporarily take care of military affairs and reiterate that no one should leave Sanhekou.

Cunhui looked for an opportunity to 'privately' and said to Fan Xiaohu: "General Park is fine, he asked you to obey the orders of Yijun." ”

After the short meeting, Tu Tianqi said to Fan Xiaohu: "The night is long and the dream is many, I will immediately escort the Xiangshan father and son into Hu'an Mountain, the military affairs of the boat division, please bother!"

Fan Xiaohu said: "General rest assured! I will guarantee my 'life', and the Zhoushi battalion will soon restore order, and there will never be any 'chaos'."

"One is the real department, and the other is the kind 'waiting' guard, and we must strictly prevent accidents. The kind 'attendants' guards, let them eat and drink well, recuperate with peace of mind, and wait until I get the will of Hu'an Palace. When the time comes, I'll return their weapons with my own hands!"

"Obey the order!" Fan Xiaohu assured again.

Fan Xiaohu sent the heavenly ruler on the boat, which was actually the last journey of the Xiangshan father and son.

On the beach of the lake, Tutian ordered his entourage to avoid it, and said to Fan Xiaohu: "Before leaving, I have a message for you." ”

"Please advise. Fan Xiaohu said politely.

"You and I know that the vendetta between Tu and Fan Er is not over. However, as my own commander, you have not given me a single problem, and I know this. No matter what you think, I have to say: I admire!"

Fan Xiaohu said: "Each other, you didn't wear little shoes for me, Xiaohu also admired!"

Tu Tianqi said again: "I have an idea: you and I will find another opportunity to single out the old hatred and new hatred of the two clans. How?"

"Just what I want! Xiaohu did not hesitate to appear on the edge of the Danfu water, and a double tomb also appeared!"

"It's a deal!"

The "double tomb" mentioned by Fan Xiaohu, known as the "double tomb" in history, is in Diaoyu Mountain in the ancient Yanjiang River (Dianjiang, now Hechuan). According to a book called "Tujing", it is recorded that "the king of Ba and the king of Pu will be united here, drunk and fencing to kill each other, and buried in the tomb", this is the story of the Ba people conquering the Pu people of ancient Yushui (Jialing River) in the process of a duel between the king of Ba and the king of Pu, and the result was that both died and were buried in a tomb. It is estimated that it was the Ba Shihong 'gate' banquet that was smashed, or it was too much, which shows that the struggle for the expansion of the Ba nationality is quite tragic.

Fan Xiaohu's meaning is that when the time comes, he will not hesitate to die with Tutianqi.

Tutian ruler said again: "At this time, what I want to say most is not this. I remember that General Park Yancang went to Hu'an Mountain Division to take up his post, and he said something to me when he was leaving, do you want to hear it?"

"Please speak up, general. ”
