The letter that Yan Houcang received from the Yin Xing Banner should have the seals of the Yin Xing Banner and the Wenchang Banner, but now there is only the seal of the Yin Xing Banner on it, which is what Xiao Luwu, as a military advisor, cares about the most.

Xiao Luwu handed the letter back to Yan Houcang: "General Houcang, I know that you are in a hurry to capture Gucheng Pass according to the original plan, but we have been stationed for more than a month, and we have not received the order to attack for a long time, and now we have received such a strange letter, I am afraid that something will happen to Xia Du."

Yan Houcang, who was anxiously attacking, heard this, and then came back to his senses: "What happened to Xia Du?"

Xiao Luwu knew that Yan Houcang didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, and at the same time, Xiao Luwu was also worried that what happened in Xia Du was directly related to Yan Houcang's father, that is, Yan Baize, the banner owner of Ren Yuanqi.

Because any change will happen in Xia, then Yan Baize, who holds the military power, must play an important role in it. Either dominate, or inconvenient to be subordinate, or die or become a prisoner.

Therefore, Xiao Luwu didn't dare to say his speculation easily, so he could only use words to guide Yan Houcang and let him speculate on his own.

Imagine, if the person who led this incident was Yan Baize, then he asked his son Yan Houcang to lead the 50,000 troops in Gucheng Pass, and his intention was unclear.

After comprehensive consideration, Xiao Luwu believes that Yan Baize is the most likely to be the leader, and as the Xiao clan of Ziwei Banner, all he can do is wait and see what happens.

Yan Houcang pondered for a while and said, "You mean, the Divine Evil Banner directly bypassed the Wenchang Banner Council and let King Han issue this order, indicating that there was an accident inside the Wenchang Banner, otherwise, from common sense, the service of documents would not be able to bypass the Wenchang Banner?"

Xiao Luwu didn't express it, just looked at Yan Houcang, he needed to let Yan Houcang continue to think.

Soon, Yan Houcang understood why Xiao Luwu was silent.

Yan Houcang subconsciously said, "Impossible."

Although the Xiao clan belonged to the middle people in the Yan clan, and the Yan clan belonged to the Venerable Master, this did not prevent Yan Houcang and Xiao Luwu from being like brothers since childhood. This is also the main reason why when he grew up, Yan Houcang named Xiao Luwu as his military advisor.

Xiao Luwu said calmly: "Hou Cang, nothing is impossible, and I know that someone came late at night a few days ago, and that person is still in the camp, if I guess correctly, this person must be from the Huayuan Imperial Court."

Yan Houcang couldn't hide it, so he had to say, "Yes, it's Nan Rongzhongwei."

Xiao Luwu was shocked: "Nan Rong Zhongwei? The son of the Huayuan Imperial Court's military department Shangshu Nanrong Qufeng?"

Yan Houcang said, "It's him."

Xiao Luwu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "He is not here on behalf of the Huayuan Imperial Court, but on behalf of the Nanrong family, right?"

Yan Houcang said, "Yes."

When Xiao Luwu saw Yan Houcang's attitude, he understood that he was very embarrassed. Because Yan Houcang has to answer all questions, but he doesn't take the initiative to tell the truth. This shows that Yan Houcang knew that Nan Rongzhong's visit to the advance army camp was important, and he must have come with some kind of special mission, and it was directly related to Yan Baize, Yan Houcang's father and son, who held military power.

Although Yan Houcang led his troops to fight bravely, he did not rely only on bravery, but the moment he saw Nan Rong Zhongwei, he clearly knew that he was by no means Nan Rong Zhongwei's opponent.

Yan Houcang was not so much anxious as he was anxious about the attack order that had not yet been given, but he urgently needed Xiao Luwu to give him advice.

Xiao Luwu pondered for a moment, and finally asked directly, "Could it be that the Nanrong family wants to launch a palace change to seize power?"

Yan Houcang subconsciously glanced at the back of the barracks, and then nodded slightly.

Xiao Luwu clenched his hands when he heard this, and his face changed greatly: "The Nanrong family wants us to cooperate with them, distract the attention of the imperial court, and when the Nanrong family succeeds in seizing power and becomes the new lord of Huayuan, they ......."

Speaking of this, Xiao Luwu suddenly understood something again, he didn't dare to say anything more, just kept shaking his head, because what he suddenly thought of was really terrible.

Yan Houcang said: "If it weren't for the fact that you just mentioned that there was a problem with the letter, I wouldn't have thought so deeply, it seems that my father had already made an alliance with the Nanrong family, but on the other hand, he also trusted you, otherwise, before the army started, he would have informed me of the matter, and

Let me do it to you."

Xiao Luwu grabbed Yan Houcang's arm: "Houcang, Ruiyuan is no better than the other eight plains, there are many people in Ruiyuan's history who want to become the eternal king, but none of them have a good end, you should know this, so, even if your uncle succeeds, he will not be able to sit on the throne of the Han King."

Yan Houcang said: "The arrow has to be sent on the string, I can't stop it."

Xiao Luwu grabbed Yan Houcang's arm: "You directly refuse Nan Rong Zhongwei, it's still too late!"

Yan Houcang shook his head and said, "If my father really launched a mutiny in the summer capital, I wouldn't be able to stop it, and besides, this attack on Gucheng Pass was not to cooperate with the Nanrong family."

Xiao Luwu shook his head: "Maybe it was originally to cooperate with the Nanrong family? Earlier, Ziwei Banner had received news that what happened in the Rouyuan Tuo Si Department was also related to the Nanrong family."

Empress Yan was stunned for a long time before saying, "You mean, the Nanrong family planned all this, calculated that such a big catastrophe would happen in the Tuo Si Department, and made an agreement with my father in advance to wait for the time to come, ostensibly to take advantage of the weakness of the Rouyuan to attack comprehensively, but in fact, in order to cooperate with the Nanrong family, they launched a mutiny in the summer capital and proclaimed themselves the King of Eternal Han?"

Xiao Luwu said, "Yes, I'm afraid that's the truth."

Yan Houcang's breathing became disordered, because he knew very well that no one could claim the title of king in the place of Ruiyuan, because the people of Ruiyuan would not submit to this kind of one-man lord royal system.

Even if it succeeds for a short time, it will be overthrown sooner or later, and then Yan Baize's vein will be completely slaughtered, and no one can leave the whole corpse.

Finally, Yan Houcang asked the sentence, "Lu Wu, what should I do?"

Xiao Luwu took a deep breath and said, "If you can't directly refuse Nan Rong Zhongwei, then, there is only one way left to go."

After speaking, Xiao Luwu looked at Guchengguan in the distance.

——

In Gucheng Pass, Childa had already transferred Mo Qi's body to the fire kang in the house according to Tang Xiaohao's arrangement, and used the temperature of the fire kang to melt Mo Qi's frozen body.

Although Tang Xiaohao had told him not to do anything if Mo Qi was resurrected, but after experiencing those corpse battles, Childa not only hated the corpse to the core, but was also very afraid.

Therefore, Gilda's knife was always on Moqi's neck, and Marud and Alba, who were standing at the head and end of the bed respectively, were also holding knives and guns.

As long as Mo Qi is really resurrected, the three of them will immediately kill him.

As the new general of Guchengguan, Calla did not dare to take risks, although he trusted Tang Xiaohao, he only obeyed the new clan Wang Baomeng.

At the same time, Tang Xiaohao also led Urur to find Mo Lin under the pretext of patrolling, taking the opportunity to see if Mo Lin reacted to Stardust.

Urul, who used to be the sword guard of the Bone Tong Division, although he was smashed by Tang Xiaohao and had his shoulder blades shattered, he did not leave any grudges, but admired and respected this colt extremely much.

However, Urul found that Tang Xiaohao would look at him from time to time along the way, his eyes full of doubts.

Urul finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything to ask me, colt?"

Tang Xiaohao stopped and asked a little embarrassedly, "Well, let me take the liberty of asking, do we know each other?"

Urul was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself and said, "I'm Urul, I used to be the sword guard of the patriarch of the Gutong tribe, and I was the one who lost the competition with you at the Six Divisions Conference."

Tang Xiaohao suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, yes, no wonder I think you are familiar."

Urul was embarrassed and said, "It's normal for a little person like me to not be able to remember."

Tang Xiaohao said: "No, don't get me wrong, it's because we haven't had much communication between the two of us, so we've met once, and too many things have happened since then."

Urul looked at Tang Xiaohao and nodded and smiled.

Tang Xiaohao said again: "I'm not making excuses, I'm a person, in fact, I am very forgetful, not for special reasons, I can't remember many things before, my master said that if a person is easy to forget, it is a blessing, now I can understand this sentence."

say

At this point, Tang Xiaohao's face was full of sadness, and he remembered the funeral of Tsing Yi again.

Although it was not the burial Tsing Yi that he killed with his own hands, for Tang Xiaohao, there was no difference.

Urul naturally didn't know about these things, and after seeing Tang Xiaohao's sad face, he immediately asked, "Donkey, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Xiaohao came back to his senses: "It's okay...... By the way, wait a minute, after I use Stardust, if Mo Lin reacts, don't be in a hurry to do it first, unless Mo Lin attacks me first, if I am in danger, you can only take action, provided that you need to protect yourself, understand?"

Urul said, "Urul swears to protect the colt!"

Tang Xiaohao smiled when he heard this: "I didn't mean that, I let you ...... Forget it, come, you watch, I'll teach you three swordsmanship from offense to defense, borrow your sword and use it."

Urul drew his sword and presented it with both hands.

Tang Xiaohao held the sword and looked at it: "Your sword is four feet, one foot longer than the ordinary long sword, this ruler is an advantage if it is used well, and it is a fatal disadvantage if it is not used well, the most troublesome thing about the four-foot sword is that it is not as fast as the three-foot sword, and sometimes if it is a little slower, it will lose your life, so try to kick the sword out of the sheath with the four-foot sword."

As he spoke, Tang Xiaohao held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, rubbed the scabbard with his left foot and kicked it, and while drawing the sword, his left foot also kicked the scabbard back, speeding up the speed of the four-foot sword unsheath, and then holding the sword horizontally from left to right to cut forward.

Tang Xiaohao said at the same time: "When you get out of the sword, you must attack, this method is the enemy's practice within the swing range of your four-foot sword, if the enemy is in front of you, you draw your sword and use the hilt to hit the enemy at the same time, and at the same time extend the distance."

After Tang Xiaohao demonstrated, he immediately stabbed three swords in succession in front of him.

"The throat of the first sword, the abdomen of the second sword, and the position of the third sword attack or throat or feint attack to open up the distance," Tang Xiaohao said as he slowed down and stabbed the three swords, "Turn attack into defense anytime and anywhere, because swordsmanship is dead, but people are alive, you must use it flexibly, don't blindly use the swordsmanship you have learned, this is a taboo for people who learn martial arts, it doesn't matter if the swordsmanship is messed up, the most important thing is not to mess up."

Tang Xiaohao's ordinary three swords were already stupid in Urur, because he couldn't reach that speed at all, it was obviously three swords, but in his opinion, it seemed that there was only one sword.

Tang Xiaohao then put away his sword: "Earlier I demonstrated the tricky sword style in the Hanyingzhuang Bingxin Sword Technique, it seems simple, but it's actually very difficult, I can reach the qualified standard by practicing this tricky sword style, it took three years, you are so smart, a year and a half is almost the same."
