Near noon the next day, the reinforcements sent by the Dachang Dynasty finally arrived, but the number of this so-called reinforcement was less than the four people sent from Hacha City, only two.

When the soldiers defending the city saw the man dressed as a Confucian and the token in his hand, they asked in a loud voice who were the two? When he learned that it was a reinforcement sent by the imperial court, he was extremely surprised.

The soldier immediately went down to confirm the authenticity of the token, and then subconsciously looked behind the two of them: "The two adults are reinforcements?"

The man dressed as a warrior next to Confucian said, "This is Cai Qianqing, a strategist sent by the imperial court, and I am Su Mu, the cavalry captain of the Royal Iron Guard."

The soldier returned the token to Cai Qianqing respectfully, and while inviting the two of them into the city, he asked people to immediately go to tell Childa and Tang Xiaohao.

After Cai Qianqing entered Gucheng Pass and dismounted, the soldiers around him all looked at him directly, not only because he was handsome and elegant, but also because of his left eye under the two willow eyebrows, because the left eye was actually colored.

As for Su Mu, who was dressed as a military attaché, he naturally received more attention, because he didn't look like a man originally, if he hadn't spoken, the soldier before would really think that he was a female lieutenant sent by the imperial court, a female lieutenant as beautiful as a fairy.

Su Mu stood with a knife in his hand, anxiously waiting, although he came with Cai Qianqing, but the purpose was not to assist the retreating troops, but to go to Ruiyuan to find Tang Xiaohao.

This is not only the will of Emperor Ji Chengying, Tang Xiaohao is the only person Su Mu cares about now.

At this time, Childa and Tang Xiaohao were still looking at the city wall, because overnight, the advance army of the Yan clan withdrew from the valley, which made the two of them deeply puzzled, and they didn't know what happened, let alone what the purpose of the 50,000 advance army of the Yan clan was stationed here for a month.

Is it just for Mo Qi and Mo Lin?

However, after hearing that Cai Qianqing and Su Mu were coming, Tang Xiaohao was overjoyed when he heard the words and immediately rushed to the city gate.

After he could already see Su Mu, Tang Xiaohao didn't care about etiquette, stopped and waved his hand, "Su Mu!"

Su Mu was stunned when he heard Tang Xiaohao's voice, and when he followed the voice, he was relieved to find that it was indeed Tang Xiaohao, but the smile that originally appeared on his face was suppressed in an instant.

Although Su Mu was extremely concerned about Tang Xiaohao's best friend, he also reminded himself from time to time that he was the thorn of Xuanbu.

The Xuanbu thorn should be moody and invisible.

After Cai Qianqing saw Tang Xiaohao with a happy face, he glanced at Su Mu beside him, and immediately understood that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and Cai Qianqing also knew very well that Su Mu's identity was not so simple, and the Iron Guard Wood Rider was just his disguised identity.

Tang Xiaohao ran to a place two feet away from the two of them, and then slowed down and straightened his posture.

Cai Qianqing stepped forward and saluted, "Strategist Cai Qianqing has seen the horses and generals."

Childa, who had just come along, immediately returned the salute: "Tors Department Wanhu Bo Jin Childa to meet Mr."

Although Cai Qianqing does not have a clear official position, but now the Tors Department has truly submitted to the imperial court, and Cai Qianqing is a designated strategist, and his status should be equivalent to that of Gilda, so Cerda cannot regard him as a subordinate.

Tang Xiaohao looked at Cai Qianqing's colored left eye: "Could it be that you are the one with the colored eyes?"

Cai Qianqing smiled and said, "It's exactly below. Colorful eyes are just nicknames given by friends."

Tang Xiaohao glanced at Su Mu, and then said to Cai Qianqing: "I have heard of Mr. 's exploits, Mr. not only repeatedly solved cases in Fengxun Dao Yongcheng, but also persuaded the rebels to surrender with the power of one person, he is really a man of God, and he is a pillar of the imperial court."

Cai Qianqing saluted again: "The concubine has won the prize, and before leaving the capital, I had the honor to meet the saint, and the saint is full of praise for the horse's talent, and it is precisely because of the concubine that Rouyuan can return to the imperial court."

Although Cai Qianqing's words were telling the truth, he was also complimenting Tang Xiaohao, and more importantly, he explained in his words that he was the strategist appointed by Emperor Ji Chengying.

Tang Xiaohao said with a smile: "Mr. has won the award, and there are just two strange things to ask Mr. right now."

"Strange things?" Cai Qianqing is very good

Wondering, "What's weird?"

Tang Xiaohao said, "First, Mo Qi and Mo Lin, the generals who were originally guarding the Gucheng Pass, left with a snow demon last night, and their whereabouts are unknown. Second, in the middle of the night last night, all 50,000 people of the Yan advance army had withdrawn from the valley and did not stay, according to the scouts, after the Yan advance army withdrew to the territory of Ruiyuan, it went directly to the direction of the summer capital."

After Cai Qianqing heard this, she just said two words lightly: "Sure enough."

"Sure enough?" Tang Xiaohao felt strange, "Mr. has already speculated? Or did they get the information that the Yan people were going to withdraw their troops in advance?"

Childa said on the side at this time: "Don Ma, Mr. Cai and General Su Mu have been hurrying for days, since the Yan clan has withdrawn, it is better to wash the dust for the two of them first."

Tang Xiaohao asked Childa to arrange a stay for Cai Qianqing and Su Mu first, and took the opportunity to talk to Su Mu while Cai Qianqing was bathing.

After Tang Xiaohao followed Su Mu back to the room where he lived, he closed the door with his backhand.

Cerda, who was originally standing outside the door, was stunned and wanted to ask something, but he couldn't help it, and turned back three times when he left.

Because Tang Xiaohao was so excited when he saw Su Mu before, it was like ......

Little Bie wins the newlywed?

Su Mu in the room just put down the package, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Tang Xiaohao looking at him with a smirk on his face. ap.

Su Mu asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"

Tang Xiaohao smiled, and at the same time raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you say?"

Su Mu pointed to the door and said, "Open the door, it will be misunderstood."

Tang Xiaohao shook his head: "Childa is not an outsider, he knows the relationship between the two of us."

Su Mu was stunned: "Huh? What is the relationship between the two of us?"

Tang Xiaohao slowly walked towards Su Mu, but Su Mu subconsciously retreated until he retreated to the corner.

Tang Xiaohao raised his hand to support the wall: "Say it."

Su Mu avoided Tang Xiaohao's gaze: "What did you say?"

Tang Xiaohao looked down at Su Mu: "Do you like me?"

Su Mu was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about, I'm a man!"

Tang Xiaohao still looks cheap: "With your face, even if you wear a military uniform, no one will think you are a man."

Su Mu reluctantly pulled out his knife from its sheath: "I warn you, stay away from me!"

Tang Xiaohao hurriedly retreated: "What kind of knife are you pulling, I'm joking with you."

Su Mu's face turned pale: "You can make this kind of joke with anyone, but you can't talk to me."

Tang Xiaohao sat down and poured tea for Su Mu: "If you don't like me, why do you want to come to Guchengguan?"

Su Mu put the knife on the table: "I didn't know that you were in Gucheng Pass at all, but I learned from the emperor that you had left the Torsi Department and went to Ruiyuan, and I wanted to go to Ruiyuan through Gucheng Pass to find you."

Tang Xiaohao put the teacup in front of Su Mu: "Look, it's not for me to come, is there a difference? Su Mu, I know that my charm is amazing, but don't like me, because I am destined to be a prodigal son, the kind that will never look back, and falling in love with me will hurt."

Su Mu Zhengse said, "When the emperor learned that you were going to Ruiyuan, he was worried about your safety, so he specially sent me to protect you."

Tang Xiaohao put away his hippie smile: "The emperor is afraid that if something happens to me, there will be another change in the Tors Department, which has finally been submissive?"

Su Mu didn't want to say anything more on this topic: "The emperor knows all about the affairs of the Torsi Ministry, and praises you as the lucky star of the Dachang Dynasty. The emperor also said that he should have rewarded you, but he was afraid that the Nanrong family would be unfavorable to you because of this, so he temporarily suppressed your exploits, and never mentioned them in the early dynasty, I believe you can understand the emperor's painstaking efforts."

Tang Xiaohao said: "On the surface, it is suppressed, and secretly it can't be hidden from the Nanrong family, but fortunately, no matter what I say, I am the grandson of Nanrong Qufeng, even if it is nominally, the Nanrong family will not do anything to me." By the way, are you sure that the person who gave you the decree was the emperor, not the king?"

Su Mu knew what Tang Xiaohao meant by asking, but he was actually asking very vaguely.

In fact, Su Mu was also worried about this

- Ji Chengying has been away from the imperial city for several months, will King Ji Hanguang sit too comfortably on the dragon chair and be unwilling to change back.

Su Mu didn't say much, but said, "King Xi has always been protected by Aoki, the commander of the Xuan Division."

This means that there is a Xuanbu led by Aoki in the imperial city staring at Ji Hanguang.

Tang Xiaohao said again: "Earlier, after Cai Qianqing learned that the Yan Clan's advance army had withdrawn, he said sure enough, do you know what this means?"

Su Mu replied to the question: "Cai Qianqing was recommended to the emperor by the great strategist, as for the reason, it is because after he graduated from Jixian Academy, although he was sent to Fengxun Dao Yongcheng by the imperial court, he became famous in the Fengxun Dao generation in a short period of time, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the other way, they have heard of his name."

Su Mu's answer was not what he asked, Tang Xiaohao had long been used to it, so he continued his words and said, "I heard a story about the appearance of the earth with colorful eyes a few years ago."

Su Mu nodded and said, "I have personally investigated Cai Qianqing, he is not quite the same as other land strategists, what he learned is the word measurement gate in the "Art of War" of the Auxiliary World."

Tang Xiaohao said: "It is the art of speculation, this technique is mainly speculation, investigation, detective, problem solving, and lobbying, I heard Tang Anshu's predecessors say. Therefore, it is no wonder that in Yongcheng, he was able to go to the rebel enemy camp alone, and persuaded the other party to surrender with just one mouth."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "However, he said very little along the way, so he didn't have to speak, and it would not be too much to say that he cherished words like gold."

Tang Xiaohao poured himself another cup of tea: "People who speak useful talk have fewer words."

Su Mu looked at Tang Xiaohao: "Then you talk like this, does it mean that you are useless in talking?"

Tang Xiaohao rolled his eyes: "You've learned to draw inferences now, right?" Su Mu, you're getting more capable."

Su Mu couldn't help laughing and drank from his teacup.

Tang Xiaohao analyzed: "Sang Luo recommended Cai Qianqing to come to Guchengguan, and he didn't bring a single soldier, Cai Qianqing seems to have known that the Yan clan was going to retreat, where did this information come from? The imperial court is working in Ruiyuan?"

Su Mu put down the teacup: "The imperial court must have a fine work in Ruiyuan, and even the Xuanbu has installed a secret chess in Ruiyuan."

When Tang Xiaohao heard this, he immediately said, "Don't mention any secret chess and secret stabs, when I was in Hacha City, if it weren't for the two of us, the emperor would have been captured alive by those so-called secret stabs. If that were the case, the person who sat on the dragon chair now would have really become the king of joy."

When Su Mu heard this, he remembered his special physique again, he didn't know what he was, was it really a caricature? Or is it the same Shang Jiajia as Gu Huaiyi? Could it be that because of this, he grew up so fast in the Xuan Department, and finally became the so-called first thorn in the Xuan Department?

Of course, Su Mu didn't tell anyone this secret, let alone Emperor Ji Chengying, even Aoki, who was regarded as a relative by him in the Xuan Ministry, he didn't confide in half a word.

Su Mu looked at Tang Xiaohao and said, "I heard Aoki say that the Xuan Department has only installed one person in Ruiyuan Xiadu, and all the news is collected by this person, and then handed over to the merchants who do business between Huayuan and Ruiyuan to bring it back."
