Xia Houlan was woken up by the noise outside, he opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn, rubbed his sore eyes, put on his clothes and walked out.

He saw that the butler was blocking several officials.

He is familiar with these people, among them Cao Baocheng, although his political achievements are not outstanding, but they are passable.

He stopped the quarrel between the two sides, and Xia Houlan stepped forward and asked Bao Cheng and the others what was going on.

Bao Cheng and the others first saluted Xiahou Lan, and then exchanged with each other, and Bao Cheng was pushed out by them.

He looked very nervous at the moment, he took out a post from his arms and handed it to Xia Houlan.

Bao Cheng told Xia Houlan that tonight was the day of his youngest son's lot, and hoped that Xia Houlan could come to the wedding banquet in person.

Xia Houlan agreed without hesitation, Bao Cheng and the others were immediately overjoyed, and they resigned and left with Xia Houlan.

Looking at the empty doorway, Xia Houlan was a little puzzled.

Even if it's to entertain yourself, it won't be so many people coming!

Since he came to the house, except for Bao Cheng, no one else spoke, which is really strange.

He muttered there, then turned back to catch up on his sleep.

The housekeeper Xia Houping frowned slightly, Xia Houlan didn't know that Xia Houping was already an external member of Jinyiwei.

He looked at Xiahou Lan's back, turned around and walked outside the mansion, walked for a cup of tea, and came to an inconspicuous shop.

Xiahouping glanced left and right, and immediately turned into the shop.

This is the location of Jinyiwei in Dingxiang County, and even Xiahoulan does not know the specific location.

Dingxiang Jinyi Wei tried a hundred households Han Chao, and after Xiahou Ping showed his waist card, he took him into the underground secret room.

An hour later, Han Chao sent Xia Houping away, he stroked his chin, and he was vaguely strange about the phenomenon of Xia Houping's reaction.

He immediately arranged for his subordinates to closely monitor the mansion of more than a dozen people in Bao Cheng.

It's a pity that Han Chao didn't know that they had made sufficient preparations last night, and now they have only started to monitor, and they can't recover the fall of Dingxiang.

Time slowly walked into the evening, and the west gate of Dingxiang took the lead in action.

Bao Kun, the city guard, held a jar of Tang Long wine, called several junior colonels on duty at night together, and ate and drank in the city gate tower.

Everyone knows that tonight is the day when Gong Cao Bao Cheng's youngest son draws lots, and they didn't think much about Bao Kun's actions.

On Bao Cheng's house, now it is even more joyful, and the maids and maids go in and out, shuttling in every corner.

At this time, Xia Houlan took his subordinates to the door of Bao Cheng's mansion, Bao Cheng was already waiting here, and when he saw Xia Houlan, he immediately stepped forward and warmly invited him into the mansion.

Everyone came all the way to the hall, and it was even more lively.

Everyone was chatting with each other, and when they saw Xia Houlan appearing, they all flocked forward to say hello.

Xiahoulan also beckoned, Bao Cheng led Xiahoulan to the front and asked him to sit on the top, Xiahoulan didn't want the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, and the two played Tai Chi there.

In the end, they each gave in, and he and Bao Cheng sat at the top at the same time.

It's just that Xia Houlan was only happy, and didn't see the apology in the corners of Bao Cheng's eyes.

Yes, he is very apologetic to Xia Houlan at the moment.

However, in the troubled times, each is his master, this is what he has learned in Dingxiang over the years, and he soon strengthened his faith.

Bang bang bang...

Bao Cheng watched the people arrive, he patted a few times, and the maids walked in with delicious wine and food.

After filling every table, Bao Cheng waved his hand, and then they turned to leave, Bao Cheng motioned for everyone not to be polite, and everyone congratulated him.

Then he called for singing and dancing, and the crowd soon fell silent in the midst of the dance.

After an hour, everyone was full of food and drink, and Bao Cheng saw that the time had come, so he asked people to go to the backyard and take out his little son to prepare to draw lots.

The child's face was round and red, and Xia Houlan couldn't help but think of her son who had not yet met.

The little guy staggered in front of the table, and after walking back and forth several times, he finally chose the cavalry doll.

When Bao Cheng saw his son choose cavalry, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and quietly glanced at Xiahoulan on the side, and found that the other party's face had not changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, haha... Bao Gongcao, I didn't expect you to be a literati who is not as good as your youngest son's mind! ”

Xia Houlan joked with Bao Cheng, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, just thinking that he was not strong enough to drink, and he was a little drunk.

Soon the banquet came to an end, and the guests left one after another, and now only Xiahoulan was left, and there were more than a dozen other families.

Xiahoulan also got up and prepared to leave, but Bao Cheng stopped him, Xiahoulan was very puzzled, and before he could speak, there was a shout of killing outside the house.

He immediately came to his senses, he bypassed Bao Cheng and was about to go out to have a look, when more than a dozen other people surrounded him.

At this time, more than fifty knife hands appeared around the hall.

"Bao Cheng, you are so bold, you dare to rebel!"

Xia Houlan's guards guarded him in the middle, and Xia Houlan understood that today's operation was all a trap against him.

He immediately angrily reprimanded Bao Cheng and the others, making Bao Cheng and the others laugh.

Bao Cheng didn't dare to waste time, he directly revealed his identity to Xiahoulan, and immediately shocked Xiahoulan.

"Haha, it is worthy of Xianbei Da Shan Yu, such a far-reaching gaze, I Xiahou Lan admires it very much, if it were not for the existence of my lord, he might have succeeded, but unfortunately he met my lord, he will never have a chance."

Xia Houlan looked at the ambush soldiers around him, and he knew that he couldn't escape.

He now secretly blames himself for not being careful enough, but he can't be blamed for this, who would have thought that the other party would start laying out eight years ago.

Bao Cheng persuaded Xiahoulan to surrender, but Xiahoulan did not appreciate it, and he slowly retreated very helplessly.

The surrounding swordsmen immediately attacked, and Xia Houlan pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed several swordsmen with a few brushes.

Bao Cheng and the others looked at the fight in the room, they were all shocked, they didn't expect Xia Houlan's martial arts to be so strong.

Bao Cheng was ruthless in his heart, and immediately called in a crossbowman and sprinkled a rain of arrows on the two sides that were entangled.

Ahhh

The sudden change shocked Xia Houlan very much, and this viciousness was really terrifying.

Suddenly, his eyes were dark, and when he recovered, four or five crossbow arrows had already flown in front of him, and Xia Houlan wanted to dodge, but his body was out of control.

Flutter! Flutter! Flutter...

Xia Houlan looked at the crossbow arrow inserted in his body, and then spit out a mouthful of black blood.

At this moment, his guards were all killed, and there were still seventeen swordsmen left, Xiahou Lan picked up a steel knife, he had a sword in one hand and a sword in the other, and roared angrily and launched a decisive counterattack.

I'm sorry, Brother Ziyan, Jun Fan has taken a step first, and I can't accompany you anymore to open peace for all generations.

Wanrou, I don't have a chance to see you and my son again, I hope you can live well.

Xia Houlan kept shouting in his heart, blood flowed down his robe, and after half an hour passed, all the knife hands died in his hands.

Xia Houlan leaned her back against the door frame and looked at Bao Cheng and laughed.

"You Xianbei dogs, don't think that if you kill me Xiahou Lan, you can completely control Dingxiang County, my brother Yan's methods are not what you imagined, haha... Lao Tzu will be waiting for you on Huangquan Road. ”

Xiahou Lan was about to kill herself after yelling, but suddenly Bao Cheng's closed door was savagely knocked open.

Han Chao led the Jinyi Guard to kill in, but when he saw Xiahou Lan's condition, his whole heart fell into the ice cellar.

He roared and rushed towards Bao Cheng and the others, who had not yet reacted, and five people were killed in an instant.

Frightened, they scattered in all directions, the ambush soldiers in the courtyard, and the Jinyi Guard fought, Han Chao ran directly to Xiahou Lan regardless of the rest.

"Stop them!"

Bao Cheng saw that Xiahoulan was rescued, and he immediately arranged for someone to stop him, but unfortunately he was desperately blocked by Jinyiwei.

Helping Xia Houlan into the carriage, Han Chao immediately ordered a retreat.

After the Jinyi guard left some people to break off, all escorted the carriage to the north gate, Bao Cheng and others chased after them, and encountered an ambush on the way and was beaten back.

When they arrived at the north gate, there was a corpse here, and Xia Houlan and the others were gone.

Bao Cheng and the others immediately sent people to chase and kill, and they returned to the mansion to gather their respective tribes, and soon gathered 30,000 people.

They were ready to rest for three days before attacking Mayi. It's just that they don't know the speed of Jinyiwei's information transmission.

It also made them miss out on opportunities.

In the end, I personally experienced the revenge from Zhao Yang.
