As he spoke, Xiao Mu swept his gaze towards Liu Binyuan and Liu Guanglei behind Li Xianru. Liu Guanglei had never seen Xiao Mu, although Xiao Mu was not good-looking, but under Xiao Mu's gaze, there was an invisible pressure, he only felt that his eyes were like a sword, and he was secretly shocked in his heart. After the fall of Benhai City, Liu Guanglei began to hesitate about the value of marrying Benhai City, but along the way, Liu Binyuan couldn't wait to hang his eyes on Xiao Ying'er, and he didn't have the opportunity to discuss with Liu Binyuan. At this time, when he saw Xiao Mu and Yunzhong's inner army, he realized that Xiao Mu was still leading the troops in Yunzhou, and the Xiao family was still a force to be reckoned with.

Liu Guanglei stabbed Liu Binyuan with his elbow, the two stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Mu, and Li Xianru also introduced them one by one. Xiao Mu learned about the marriage with the Liu family in the letter, but he had never met Liu Binyuan, so he unconsciously looked at this future son-in-law.

Liu Guanglei opened his mouth and asked: "Lord Wang, don't you know that General Feng's army has already been completed? When Liu entered the city, he didn't see anyone from Shuozhou. ”

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Yes, General Feng led his troops back north ten days ago." ”

Liu Guanglei nodded, thinking about countermeasures in his heart. Benhai City's vitality was greatly damaged, even if the Liu family did not cancel the alliance with it, the strength comparison between the two had also changed greatly, and Liu Guanglei couldn't help but think about how to modify the alliance to make the Liu family obtain greater benefits. It's a pity that Feng Jianbei is not here, otherwise when negotiating, Xiao Mu would not dare to have any objections.

"Benhai City has undergone this great change, which made the guests of Shuozhou smile, if the Liu family still has any ideas about the covenant, this king should have agreed. Xiao Mu looked at Liu Guanglei with an intriguing expression.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Binyuan and Xiao Ying'er both looked at Xiao Mu with some surprise, and they didn't know why he mentioned the matter of the covenant at this time. Liu Guanglei felt a pang in his heart, he didn't expect Xiao Mu to see through his calculations at a glance, if he proposed a modification at this time, it would inevitably seem really unkind, and if he denied it, he couldn't change his words in the future. Thinking of this, he unconsciously avoided Xiao Mujing's shining eyes.

"Dad, how can you ask people if they want to change the covenant as soon as you come up, are you not satisfied with the covenant?" Xiao Ying'er couldn't help asking, and as she spoke, she quietly glanced in the direction of Liu Binyuan.

Liu Guanglei smiled dryly: "The prince said that he was laughing......"

Xiao Mu suddenly interrupted Liu Guanglei's words: "It's just that we don't have time to talk about these things now. There is an enemy, I believe in Benhai City and Shuozhou, and I don't want to see it. ”

"What the prince said is ......," Liu Guanglei said in amazement.

"Wei Zhuoxi. Xiao Mu said very lightly, as if the name already carried a lot of weight.

Liu Guanglei frowned and asked, "He really ran out of the chaotic army at that time?" He didn't know much about the battle situation in Yunzhou, and mostly heard it from Xiao Yizhan and Li Xianru, but when he cleaned up the battlefield after the destruction of Yunzhong City, he didn't find Wei Zhuoxi's body.

Xiao Mu shook his head with a solemn expression: "We all thought that Wei Zhuoxi sent his second son to attack Fenggul Pass, and he stayed in Yunzhong City, even if he didn't find the body, he thought that he escaped on the battlefield." Recently, the king inquired about the horse herds in Yunzhong City and learned that before the fall of Changzhou that day, Wei Zhuoxi took some men and horses to the east, and did not return to Yunzhong City, but the direction he went was Dongliu City. ”

Li Xianru and Liu Guanglei's faces changed suddenly, and Li Xianru asked, "Do you think that this time, it is led by Wei Zhuoxi?"

It's impossible to know, but it's not a possibility. I don't know what agreement he reached with Fang Hui, and I don't know why he didn't show up when Cloud City was besieged, but it was no accident that he went to Dongliu City, Dongliu City made a move against Benhai City, presumably he also participated, and their next target might be the northern realm?" When he said this, he looked at Liu Guanglei, and the implication was very obvious.

Liu Guanglei pondered for a moment, raised his head to meet Xiao Mu's gaze, and said: "What the prince said is very true, as an ally, the Liu family naturally can't sit idly by, Liu will send an urgent letter to the head of the family, please General Feng turn around and return together, and fight against Dongliu City together with the prince!"

......

Fang Hui turned over and dismounted leisurely, looking at the three gold-lacquered characters of "Benhai City" above his head, and sneered. He walked into the city on foot, looked around, and seemed to enjoy his victory. Since Xiao Mu was crowned king, Dongliu City has been restrained everywhere in the conflict with Benhai City, and today he can finally raise his eyebrows, Fang Hui only feels happy, and there is a kind of heroism that the world is in my hands.

From time to time, soldiers from Dongliu City came and went, cleaning the battlefield and saluting Fang Hui.

Before the defenders of Benhai City were transferred to the south of the city, Dongliu City was like a bamboo, and successfully entered the city, and started a street battle with the army led by Xiao Yizhan in the city.

Fang Hui noticed that there was a silent gaze in some of the houses, showing that the residents were looking at him as an uninvited guest. He snorted coldly and ignored it.

"Father. Fang Changjing approached quickly and saluted Fang Hui.

"How's it going?"

Fang Changjing replied: "The garrison of Benhai City was almost completely wiped out, but because the Xiao Clan's garrison in Benhai City was stationed outside the city, we couldn't encircle and suppress it, so we escaped some. In addition, after we searched the city, we did not find Li Xianru and Xiao Yilan and others. ”

"As expected, the roots of the Benhai City tree are deep, and although it hurts the root this time, it will not be a day's work to eradicate them all. Fang Hui didn't have a look of disappointment or anger, and continued to ask indifferently, "That Xiao Mu's son, has he been captured?"

Although his father had given the order to capture him alive, his men could not grasp the proportions and caught him when he was seriously wounded, and his sons had arranged for someone to treat him. ”

Fang Hui frowned, but still nodded, "Good job." Now wait for Changyue to bring the girl from the Xiao family, with these two hostages in his hands, what about him Xiao Mu as the king of Chengji, he will still be trampled under my feet!"

The sneer on Fang Changjing's face was fleeting, without showing a trace.

"Your brother doesn't know the situation in Benhai City, do you have someone to send a message to Dongliu City, so that he can come to Benhai City to see me quickly?"

Fang Changjing bowed slightly: "Naturally, father rest assured." ”

In addition to the soldiers who came and went to clean up the battlefield, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves stepping on the stone pavement of the streets of the city. Fang Changjing and Fang Hui's reactions were completely different, Fang Hui showed an unexpected expression, his brows furrowed slightly, while Fang Changjing's eyes flashed with a fine light, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

A soldier rode on a horse and glanced around, and when he saw Fang Hui on the street, he hurriedly rode his horse closer, looking very panicked. When he stepped forward, Fang Hui frowned and asked, "Panic, what's the hurry?"

The soldier lowered his head and replied hesitantly: "Go back to the Hou Ye, the second son is he...... He ......"

"How is he?"

"How is he?" Seeing that he was unable to convey his words, Fang Hui was even more displeased. Fang Changjing instead chuckled and comforted: "Father, don't worry, let him speak slowly." ”

The soldier took a breath and said, "The second son has returned to Dongliu City alone, and none of the team and his spies have returned!"

"There are such things!" Before Fang Hui could speak, he saw that Fang Changjing reacted even more, took two steps forward and grabbed the soldier's collar, and hurriedly asked.

The soldier trembled and said, "Yes...... It's true, and besides, the second son is still being ...... Being ......" His voice trembled, getting smaller and smaller, and Fang Hui couldn't help but scold: "You say it!

"His left arm was cut off!"

Fang Hui only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and then a wave of anger surged above his head, scolding: "Who the did it!

"Second son, he ...... By the time he arrived in Dongliu City, he had already lost a lot of blood and was about to faint, but ...... Before he fell unconscious, he vaguely said the word Yunzhou......"

"Yunzhou?" Fang Hui never expected this answer, "Didn't they even get their nest taken by Xiao Mu and them?

Naturally, the soldier could not answer, so he had to stand there trembling, not daring to breathe. Fang Hui was angry in his heart, and kicked him: "Get out!"

Fang Changjing's face also lost the expression of joy he had before, his face was solemn, and he said, "Father, don't be angry, why don't we go back to Dongliu City immediately and ask the second brother what's going on?"

"Master Hou. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Fang Hui turned around, and saw his advisor Zhuang Qi walking over with a letter, and looked at the scene in front of him with some astonishment, completely unaware of what was happening.

Fang Hui had no intention of explaining, he just wanted to return to Dongliu City immediately, and said impatiently: "What's the matter, say it quickly!"

Zhuang Qi respectfully handed the letter to Fang Hui: "According to the instructions of the Hou Ye, the subordinates checked the account books and correspondence in the Chengji Palace, and it happened that the subordinates found this letter, which has not yet been opened, and the people who want to come to the Chengji Palace" have not yet seen it. And this letter was signed by Xiao Mu's adopted son Xiao Qi. ”

Fang Hui couldn't help but say: "It's not a secret that Xiao Mu has an adopted son, unless you can arrest him, what is so strange about a letter?"

"It's not the person who wrote the letter, it's the content of the letter. The subordinates were curious, and opened the letter to take a look, but found that it was not an ordinary letter from home, but an early warning issued by Xiao Qi to Xiao Mu. ”

"Early warning?" Fang Hui was confused for a moment, and couldn't help but open the letter to check it.

"Exactly. The letter mentioned that Xiao Qi had discovered that Yunzhou had maintained secret contacts with Shajiang City, and that Shajiang City might have other plans for sending troops to King Qin. ”

Fang Hui's gaze scanned the letter for a moment, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he muttered, "This Yunzhou is really weird, since it is in alliance with Dongliu City, it can't be clean with Shajiang City. The most important thing is that Wei Zhuoxi never mentioned this matter. ”

Fang Changjing thought of something, and said with a gloomy face: "Father, it seems that the person who attacked the second brother may have nothing to do with Yunzhou and Shajiang City. Although the city in the clouds is broken, and the forces of Yunzhou are temporarily dormant, I am afraid that they will have some more terrible plans after this. ”

Fang Hui crumpled the letter paper into a ball, his eyes were like swords: "In this way, Wei Zhuoxi really never really believed me! The day Wei Zhuoxi returned was the time when we went to war! I want to see why a defeated army and a remote barbarian prince are fighting with me!"

Zhuang Qi's face was inexplicable, and he was about to ask in detail, but he was interrupted by Fang Hui, and he said to Fang Changjing: "Now that the large and small ports of Qingzhou are in our hands, you send people to investigate every day, once there is Wei Zhuoxi's whereabouts, you don't need to report it, just take people! He has been in the East China Sea for more than half a year, whether he succeeds or not, without the fragments in our hands, it is all in vain." Therefore, that thing must not fall into the hands of Yunzhou, no matter what, I must grab it!"

Fang Changjing responded, Zhuang Qi still wanted to ask, but seeing that Fang Hui and Fang Changjing's father and son had already turned over and got on the horse, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Master Hou, where are you going?"

The horse under Fang Hui's crotch had jumped out of a few zhang in a blink of an eye, all Zhuang Qi could see was his horse's buttocks, and Fang Hui's voice came faintly: "Go back to Dongliu City!"
