The night was dark.

Sitting alone in the account, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

He found the letter that Su Ying had sent him earlier.

She reminded him in her letter and described in detail the power of the cannon, telling him to think about it in advance.

He didn't question her at the time, but he didn't really realize the power of the cannon.

Even, until the day before yesterday, before the artillery test fire, no one would believe that guy was so powerful.

News of artillery quickly spread throughout the capital.

It's not that Shen Mo didn't notice the subtlety of Song Zhi and the others' thoughts, but he hadn't thought about the next way to deal with it.

Tired.

Originally, he just wanted to avenge the Xiao Mansion Manmen, kill the Dog Emperor, and return the people to a peaceful world.

But who knows, Zuo Chengyi also revolted at the same time.

The two had not disclosed this matter beforehand, and by the time they received the news of each other's uprising, it was too late to change.

Walking and walking, things have come to this point.

The future is bleak, and the back road is cut off.

He is not an ambitious person, but if he chooses to quit at this time, then how should he explain to those who have followed him all the way and died in battle, and what can he do to comfort the families of those dead souls?

There are also Song Zhi and others who are becoming more and more aggressive, how can he persuade them to take a step back?

As for the plan to sneak attack Zuo Chengyi, he didn't consider it at all, just sent everyone away and delayed it for the time being.

That's his own brother.

How could he ......

Shen Mo was thinking hard about the uncertain future, when he suddenly heard a rustling movement at the door.

Silent smiled bitterly, "Grandpa, you are coming in in the light, don't try to scare me sneakily." ”

"It's so boring, someone found out." Xiao Shan was not frightened by the silence, his face was full of loss, and he said angrily: "I'm here to send you a message, my eldest grandson wants to see you, and I ask you to go to the City God Temple to talk about it." ”

"Now?" It's the middle of the night.

"Hmm." Xiao Shan had already brought the words anyway, and he didn't want to stay longer, "It's the middle of the night, and I'm almost sleepy to death in the old man." I'll go to sleep first, whether you like to go or not. ”

Of course Shen Mo is going.

He didn't let anyone follow, and went to the appointment alone overnight.

At the small gate of the backyard of the City God Temple, Zuo Chengyi has been waiting for a long time.

found an inaccessible place, and the two flew up a towering tree one after another.

"Next!"

Zuo Chengyi threw something over, and then leaned on a thick branch.

Shen Mo quickly caught it, and also found a thick branch close to lean on.

"Thank you."

The atmosphere was unusually silent, neither of them spoke, only their hearts were refreshed, and they raised the wine jug at the same time.

After drinking silently for a while, half of the pot of wine was swallowed, and only then did he praise silently.

"Good wine. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the bar over there in Da Wei? ”

"Sure enough, there is a vision, it is the Dawei wine that I have collected for a long time, you kid is blessed." Zuo Chengyi took a big sip of wine, and said with a smile: "No, now that half of the Great Wei is your territory, and in the future, there will be no Wei in this world." ”

In Zuo Chengyi's heart, he didn't know how much he envied his younger brother.

He is sitting in the capital, and the land is from the sky.

Yuan Hao, Wu Qi, these two fierce generals, don't have to worry about it silently, they have brought down the turf.

If there is no credit for Su Ying, he doesn't believe it.

He no longer knew whether he was envious of his younger brother for having two fierce generals, or envying him for having a great fiancée.

Speaking of this, Shen Moke was proud.

"You have artillery, and I don't envy you, because I have more important than artillery."

"Huh."

The two took another big gulp.

Zuo Chengyi complained first: "Big brother, I've been a little depressed lately, and I want to talk to someone, so I called you out in the middle of the night." ”

"Shouldn't you be complacent now, what's there to be depressed?" It's bitter in his heart to be silent, and his subordinates are about to make him counter-calculating him.

Zuo Chengyi sighed deeply.

"A person who saved you at the risk of being punished by the Nine Clans.

Your kung fu, your knowledge, your life, everything you have in this world, all you have in this world are given by that man.

He is kind to you, but there is one thing, and that is that you must not have any selfish intentions to disobey his orders.

Do you feel pain? ”

What's so smart, you don't have to guess to know who it's talking about.

"Did Cheng Guogong ask you to do something that you were reluctant to do?"

Zuo Chengyi nodded, but didn't tell his brother the truth, only said sadly: "I don't want to disobey his orders, and I don't want to make him unhappy, but I really can't and can't do one thing he asked me to do recently." Can you understand how much pain I have? ”

"Understood." Shen Mo suddenly thought of the proposal of Song Zhi and the others, and he was almost as embarrassed as Zuo Chengyi.

Zuo Chengyi smiled bitterly and raised the wine jug.

"It's worthy of being my own brother, and he really understands my brother."

The brothers didn't talk much, but they drank a lot.

When he was slightly drunk, Zuo Chengyi flew over, patted his younger brother's shoulder, and flew back to his branch to lie down.

"My brother is putting the finishing touches on the artillery, and when everything is ready, he will go to capture the palace. When the time comes, the dog emperor's dog head will be cut off and the Xiao Mansion will be sacrificed. ”

"Are you really going to fight?" Shen Mo remembered the plan of Song Zhi and the others again.

"What my brother decides, no one can change." Zuo Chengyi was suddenly extremely determined.

Before meeting his younger brother, he was still wavering, but after seeing his younger brother, that heart suddenly settled.

"You also go back to repair the army, wait for my brother to bring the head, and after we pay tribute to the ancestors of the Xiao family together, we will talk about the rest of the matter."

The next thing is the fight between the brothers.

Shen Mo's expression moved slightly, but the night covered him well.

"Then I'll guard at the city gate, stabilize my brother's rear, and don't let you have worries." Shen Mo also made a decision.

"Good! Deal! ”

"It's a deal!"

When Zuo Chengyi returned to the camp again, because his heart was no longer entangled, his mood was extremely relaxed, and his face was much better than before.

"Childe, what are you sure you do?" The butler walked in suddenly.

Zuo Chengyi nodded, "Yes." I have a plan in my heart, and I hope you can be more considerate of the housekeeper. ”

The butler's face also looked much more relaxed than before.

"It seems that blood relatives always have to be closer."

Zuo Chengyi was stunned, "The housekeeper knows my plans?" ”

The housekeeper smiled: "You are an old slave and I brought it up, how can I not know your thoughts?" If you feel so comfortable, do so, and the old slave will always be on your side. ”

Zuo Chengyi's gratitude is beyond words, but it is just ......

"It's just that if I do this, I will eventually break my grandfather's heart."

The housekeeper shook his head and suddenly asked, "Childe, do you know why Cheng Guogong risked great danger to save you that day?" ”
