Although Tang Xiaohao knew what it meant to break through himself, he didn't know how to break through himself at all. The reason why he wanted to learn how to possess magical power was also keenly aware that the Nan Rong family seemed to want to use those things called Guijia to make another storm on the Jiuyuan, which had not been pacified.

The day before yesterday, in the Four Seas Inn, at the beginning of Xiao Xuan's mutation, the sharp blade weapons in the hands of Liao Yanqi and the Shendu soldiers could not do any substantial damage to Xiao Xuan, who had turned into a corpse, if it hadn't been for Sang Luo's timely appearance to kill Xiao Xuan, I don't know how many people in Shendu City would have been infected.

At that time, Tang Xiaohao noticed the rune paper used by Sang Luo, and the sentence in his mouth, "Riding the dragon and driving the wind and Taiji, Kunlun blood is showing the true body", it should be a spell, plus the rune paper, the combination of the two is the so-called charm.

Previously, Wu Tianlu had explained that if there was no magic power, then the spell would be of no use. This was the reason why Tang Xiaohao wanted to learn the magic power, and he felt the threat from the armor.

But where is it so easy to break through yourself? The most important thing is that within two or three days, Sang Luo will send Wu Tianlu out of the Divine Capital City.

Will he really send his eldest brother out of Shendu City safely? Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohao became a little uneasy.

Although there is a difference of 17 years with Sang Luo, Tang Xiaohao also understands Sang Luo's personality, and it can be summed up in 16 words - mercy is not in charge of soldiers, love is not in charge, righteousness is not financial management, and kindness is not an official.

In other words, although Sang Luo is only 35 years old, because of his talent and intelligence, and because he is the chief disciple of the former great strategist Hu Shen, it can be said that he sees this thing in the world very clearly, so he will never be emotional when he starts from reason in everything.

Therefore, how could he easily send Wu Tianlu out of the city? What's more, I'm afraid he won't even let go of the ordinary people who survived in the Four Seas Inn, right?

At this time, Wu Tianlu was thinking about another thing, who was the person who attacked him that night? In retrospect, the man obviously deliberately led himself to the vicinity of the Tang Mansion, and then kicked himself off the wall.

The mysterious man kicked Wu Tianlu, it was never to hurt him, with the speed and strength of that person, it was easy to kill Wu Tianlu, so, did he do it on purpose?

Who is this person? Why?

——

Under the gate of the imperial city, Zhu Lu, the ironclad guard, was standing there waiting with a paper fan, and soon, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and the clash of ironclads.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first. The sound is heavy and neat, without the slightest mess, which means that everything is fine.

Zhu Lu adjusted his standing posture, stood with his chest up, and faced forward, and when Tang Chen and Sang were in front of him, he arched his hand and said, "Zhu Lu, the iron armor guard of the lower officials, greets the general and the great strategist." ”

Tang Chen and Sang Luo turned over and dismounted. Tang Chen knew that the two of them had something to say alone, so he said: "Great strategist, I will lead the soldiers back to the various gates first, it will take about half an hour. ”

Sang Luo said: "I'm waiting for the general here." ”

After Tang Chen led the men and horses into the imperial city, Sang Luo and Zhu Lu glanced at each other, and then they both laughed.

Zhu Lu waved towards the starry sky and said, "Thank you for the nine heavens for letting the Great Strategist return safely." ”

Sang Luo couldn't help but laugh and said, "You know the result, but you still pretend." ”

Zhu Lu said: "I have been scared all day long, for fear that something will happen. ”

Sang Luo naturally didn't believe it: "All over the world, except for the teacher, you know me best, how can you be afraid?" ”

Zhu Lu said: "Although I knew that you would definitely send the talisman back in advance so that the emperor could rest assured, but I didn't expect that you would send someone to hand over the talisman to General Tang and ask him to return it to the emperor." ”

Sang Luo asked, "You really didn't expect it?" ”

Zhu Lu shook his head: "I really didn't expect you, you were too risky, and the talisman is not a toy." ”

Sang Luo explained: "Tang Chen was the most trusted outside the palace of Emperor Shunhe back then, and it is also the bridge between the emperor and the Nanrong family now, because of this, I dare to take this risk." ”

Zhu Lu asked: "Did you get the news in advance that something would happen in the Shendu City, or was it just a precaution?" ”

"In everything, I will first speculate on the worst outcome, and then calculate how to act in reverse," Sang Luo looked up at the starry sky, "I really didn't expect that there would be a decanate armor in the Shendu City, or the kind of decanter armor that has lost its human mind, and what I didn't expect is that Tang Xiaohao is also in the Four Seas Inn, and this matter is also related to him, guess what is the most terrifying?" ”

Zhu Lu thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that Tang Xiaohao guessed that you didn't personally carry the talisman, but sent someone else to send the talisman back?" ”

Sang Luo's face became extremely ugly: "Yes, but he definitely didn't guess, it was guessed." ”

Zhu Lu was very relaxed: "You two haven't had a good time at the inn in the past two days? ”

Up? When Sang Luo heard this, his thoughts returned to 8 years ago.

8 years ago, Sang Luo was 27 years old, and Tang Xiaohao had just turned 10 years old.

At that time, Emperor Shunhe was still in power, and the former great strategist Hu Shen was about to step down, and it was naturally Sang Luo who succeeded him as the new great strategist.

After Hu Shen stepped down as the Great Strategist, according to the rules of the imperial court, he had to go to Jixian Academy to serve as a scholar of Jixian University.

In layman's terms, Jixian Yuan is the place where those dignitaries in the imperial court go to school and study. Jixian Yuan was originally called Jixian Palace, which was established by Emperor Dingyuan, the emperor of the Dachang Dynasty, and was originally to gather talents from all over the world, and then changed to Jixian Temple, and then to the Shunhe Emperor period, Jixian Yuan was used to train court ministers.

The people who were in charge of the Jixian Academy were all the great strategists of the imperial court after they had left office, and they were called Jixian scholars or university scholars. In the early stage of leaving office, Jixian Bachelor must select children between the ages of 5 and 8 from all over the country, and those selected can enter Jixian Academy to study, and then select one or two of these children to become the apprentices of the current Grand Strategist, and the current Grand Strategist himself will train them to become successors.

Therefore, Sang Luo was not personally selected by Hu Shen, but by Hu Shen's teacher, and then stood out from dozens of children and became a disciple under Hu Shen's disciple. In the same way, Sang Luo's current apprentice was not selected by himself, but by Hu Shen before he left office.

At that time, because Tang Xiaohao was 10 years old, over his age, it was not considered, but Nanrong Song Style repeatedly begged, hoping that Hu Shen could meet Tang Xiaohao, even if he could not be recruited into Jixian Academy, he could also make a little evaluation and point out the direction for this child.

At that time, whether it was Hu Shen or Sang Luo, he didn't think much about it, and it was difficult to refute the face of Nanrong's style, so he had to agree to go to the Tang Mansion to meet Tang Xiaohao.

Sang Luo still remembers that when he first saw Tang Xiaohao, if it weren't for Tang Xiaohao wearing men's clothes, he would probably think he was a girl. Normally, boys can be described by words such as handsome, handsome, and spiritual, but Tang Xiaohao can be described as beautiful, like a hermaphrodite.

However, because of this, Sang Luo was prejudiced against Tang Xiaohao, thinking that children with this kind of appearance generally have no brains, not to mention that he is beyond his age.

On the top of the main hall, after Tang Xiaohao saluted Hu Shen and Sang Luo, he went to the corner to play alone, using those different shapes of wood to build small buildings that others couldn't understand, and he was very happy to play alone.

Sang Luo also felt ridiculous when he saw this, this kid was already 10 years old, and he was still playing with this kind of thing? You must know that he was already a Xiucai when he was 11 years old.

At this time, someone in the DPRK came to report the war with the Ruiyuan Yan clan ahead.

Seven years before then, Nan Rong Qufeng and Tang Chen served as the main and deputy generals, and Sanglu was the military advisor to quell the rebellion of the Rouyuan Tuo Ersi Division.

Although the rebellion was finally put down, the Tors tribe surrendered again, and also sent hostages to the Shendu City, but because the Ruiyuan Yan tribe in the northeast supported the army and respected itself, they constantly sent people to persuade the Tors tribe to join them to raise troops to resist the imperial court, so the Ruiyuan Yan tribe was still a big trouble for the imperial court, and the Tors tribe was always swaying from side to side.

At that time, Tang Chen was very worried, so he said to Hu Shen: "Great strategist, the reason why the Ruiyuan Yan clan wants to unite with the Tuo Er Si Department of Rouyuan is actually worried that if he raises troops to attack Huayuan, when the troops come to the city of the divine capital, they will be surrounded by the flank of the Tuo Si Department of Rouyuan, and now the battle ahead is scorching, and the two sides are deadlocked, what should I do next?" ”

At that time, although Tang Chen was already the commander of the Iron Guard, he was also extremely concerned about the battle ahead.

Hu Shen didn't answer, but glanced at Sang Luo.

Sang Luo understood and said: "Now that the imperial court and the Ruiyuan Yan clan are deadlocked under Gucheng, the Tuo Si Department has also made many excuses not to send troops, it is obvious that they want to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Regardless of whether the imperial court or the Ruiyuan Yan clan wins or loses, it is beneficial to the Tuoersi Department. Although the imperial army occupied Gucheng, it could not be attacked, and even if it was attacked, the depth of Ruiyuan was too wide, and the people there did not trust the imperial court, and the final result was to retreat to Gucheng, so there was no way to win or lose this battle, so we could only find a way to temporarily stop fighting. ”

Tang Chen asked again: "However, the Ruiyuan Yan clan is menacing, according to the information of Rouyuan Xizuo, the Tuo Si Department is also considering whether to raise troops again, I think, except for letting the imperial court increase troops to Gucheng, there is no other way for the time being." ”

Just as Sang Luo was about to say something, Tang Xiaohao's immature voice sounded in the corner: "Such a simple matter still needs to be discussed for so long?" Aren't you tired? ”

When Tang Chen heard this, he immediately said: "Xiaohao, we are deliberating, you go out to play." ”

Hu Shen asked, "Child, why do you say that this matter is simple?" In your opinion, what should you do? ”

Tang Xiaohao glanced up at Hu Shen, didn't get up, and still played with his toys: "Wouldn't it be solved by handing over Gucheng to the Tors Department?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the first person whose face changed suddenly was Sang Luo, because it was the truce plan that Sang Luo thought of.

Tang Chen didn't understand what the reason was, but he just said sharply: "Get out!" ”

Tang Xiaohao packed up his toys and was about to leave, but Hu Shen got up and walked up to him and asked, "Then tell me, why did you hand over Gucheng to the Tors Department?" ”

Tang Xiaohao hugged the pile of wood and looked at Hu Shen and said: "If I remember correctly, when my grandfather and father were ordered to crusade against the Tors Department many years ago, it was because they captured the Valley City occupied by the Tors Department that they had a foothold. Otherwise, where would the army be fed back then? Where to rest? Even the heavy grain and grass sent by the imperial court have nowhere to store it, so is it just on the wasteland waiting for the Tors Department to attack? ”

Tang Chen was stunned, he didn't expect his son to remember this, although he had never told Tang Xiaohao about these things, but when he recalled the past with Nanrong Qufeng at home, Tang Xiaohao was playing next to him.

It turned out that the child actually wrote down all the past things he said while playing.

Sang Luo swallowed his saliva and looked at Tang Xiaohao, who had an impatient face on Hu Shen's face.

Hu Shen asked again: "So, now that Gucheng is returned to the Torth Department, won't the Northern Expedition of the year lose its meaning?" ”

Tang Xiaohao frowned: "How can it lose its meaning?" There are two reasons why the Torsi Department has not agreed to the Yan tribe to raise troops, one is that they have hostages in the imperial court, and the other is that the Torsi Department and the Yan tribe have always been at odds, and the court has written many times in the Tang newspaper in the past that the Yan people often plundered the Torsi tribe to expand their sphere of influence, and also turned the captured Torsi tribesmen into slaves. Huayuan, where we are located, is far away from Rouyuan, but Ruiyuan, where the Yan clan is located, is close to Rouyuan, and the people of the Tuo Si Department should also understand the truth of distant and close attack, so if the valley city is returned to the Tuo Si Ministry, they will naturally keep an eye on the Yan clan for the imperial court, and the Yan clan will naturally retreat from the army, won't this matter be solved? ”

Tang Xiaohao's explanation made Tang Chen, Hu Shen and Sang Luo above the main hall stunned and surprised.

Although Tang Chen knew that his son was smart, he didn't expect him to understand this. Although Tang Chen also secretly found someone to teach his son knowledge, he was still young and never let him get involved in these things, and this kid even secretly read the imperial court newspapers in the past at home.

The most surprised was Sang Luo, because before that, the conceited Sang Luo still despised Tang Xiaohao for being far inferior to himself back then, and even thought that he had seen the future fate of this child. Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaohao quickly slapped Sang Luo hard with practical actions.

Hu Shen had a smile on his face: "What a long-distance close attack." ”

The solution that Hu Shen thought of was also the words "long-distance friendship and close attack", and it is important to know that military action is always a means, not an end.

Tang Chen came back to his senses and immediately let Tang Xiaohao go out to play by himself.

After Tang Xiaohao said goodbye to Hu Shen and Sang Luo, he ran out with his pile of toys, and fell on the steps, and when he got up, he was still scolding there, just like when he explained seriously.

Sang Luo trembled when he saw this, because this was the first time he had seen the wrong person, and it was also the first time he had been defeated, and it was a 10-year-old child who defeated him.

Tang Chen hugged his fists at this time and said: "The subordinate godson has no way, the dog is full of nonsense, and I ask the great strategist not to be surprised, and most importantly, I beg the great strategist not to spread the word about today's matter." ”

Tang Chen's words made Hu Shen suddenly understand why Nanrong Qufeng asked him to meet Tang Xiaohao.

Nanrong Qufeng wanted Hu Shen to see if the child was a threat, in other words, the life and death of the child was now in Hu Shen's hands.

Hu Shen simply replied: "General rest assured." ”

Later, when Hu Shen saw Nanrong's style, he only used the sentence "mud can't support the wall" to describe Tang Xiaohao. Although Nanrong Qufeng heard the words with regret, his expression was unconcealed joy.

Tang Xiaohao also escaped at the age of 10.

Also on that day, Hu Shen told Sang Luo that among the children he saw, the only one who might surpass Sang Luo in the future and pose a threat to Sang Luo was only Tang Xiaohao.

However, Sang Luo knew that even if he had already won the show when he was 11 years old, he knew far less things and truths than Tang Xiaohao when he was 10 years old.

Is this dog that Tang Chen said really a threat in the future? When the time comes, will he threaten himself, or the Dachang Dynasty?

Sang Luo didn't know, and he didn't dare to speculate.
