The north is cold, all year round is in flux, when it is cold, it makes people creepy, when it is hot, it makes people lose more clothes, many people are forced to take medicine because of the weather, the cold wind is shivering, and it is snowing in the north today, but it soon stops, and the sun's rays break through the clouds and warm the earth.

As the snow dissipated, there were more people walking around the city, walking through the streets and alleys, holding prepared baskets in their hands, and selling what they liked, reflecting the simplicity and generosity of the Northland people.

"What's going on lately, a lot of Dongdi merchants are gone, I can't sell Dongdi goods if I want to, it's really strange!"

"Yes, the Dongdi fabric is very good, I don't know why, I went to many merchants and never sold it, even they don't know why the supply suddenly cut off!"

Many people talked about it, and they didn't know what was going on, but they didn't take it to heart, they didn't have to worry about these things at all, everything was decided by the leader of the Northland, and naturally nothing happened.

Brush!

Just as everyone was talking, a soldier came on horseback at the entrance of the city, as if there was something very important, and went on a rampage, frightening many passers-by to stand on both sides, and ran in the direction of Zhou's house.

However, the Zhou Mansion gathered many patriarchs and generals with a very serious face, and it was Zhou Zhitong who was the leader.

They were all here, obviously something big happened, just as everyone was talking, the soldier on horseback quickly came in, and after seeing Zhou Zhitong, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Tell the leader, the Tang family's army will arrive at the bottom of Ming City in less than two days!"

Zhou Zhitong was very angry, but he didn't expect Tang Can to be determined to fight with him, ignoring the covenant of the three clans, and treating innocent people as mustard, this battle must be fought, so he said: "Who will come?" How many centaurs are there? ”

The soldier said: "Leader, the coming general is Hu Jun, there are 100,000 troops."

"What, there are 100,000 troops, is this Tang Can crazy?"

"Hmph, Tang Can really deceived me that there is no one in the Zhou family, leader, in my opinion, I have to teach them a lesson this time."

"That is, when was I afraid of war in the north, this Tang Can innocently said that our clan colluded with the demon clan, which was clearly framed, I think he has long wanted to find an excuse to fight my clan."

Zhou Zhitong knew that the Tang family sent troops to come this time with an iron heart, but I have been in the north for many years, and my father suppressed the demon clan in exchange for today's peace, but you Tang Can made my clan bear the reputation of colluding with the demon clan, let me explain to my dead father, this battle seems to be a must-fight, I can't take the life of the clan as a joke, and I won't explain it to you, just let time reveal the truth of this matter!

Looking at everyone talking again, the whole person was very uncomfortable, Zhou Yaxuan is his son, and finally went to Tianxi Zongbai, if he comes back and sees that the family is bullied like this, where will our face go, since Tang Can is unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, this battle must be fought.

He said: "You said that Hu Jun led an army of 100,000 to attack my northern land, should we send envoys to make peace, or raise our swords to start a war with the Tang family?"

All the patriarchs had serious faces, and the generals were also silent, because they knew very well in their hearts that Hu Jun was a famous victorious general of the Tang family, but this war was clearly the Tang family's framing of them for colluding with the demon clan, if they didn't fight, then they would have to accept the victory of the Tang family, and the Zhou family would usher in a lot of trouble, and the Gao family was even more eyeing them, and they would face many difficulties at that time.

If there is a war, it will undoubtedly admit the fact that the Zhou family and the demon clan colluded, and when the time comes, regardless of victory or defeat, the Zhou family will lose its prestige between the Tang and Gao clans, and if the demon clan takes advantage of this to attack the city, it will be the Zhou family that will face the Zhou family, and the victory or defeat will be inseparable, and it will definitely lead to the battle of the Tang and Gao families, which is indeed a difficult problem.

"Why, you are a famous person in the family, and now that our clan is in danger, no one has thought of a reasonable solution?" Zhou Zhitong had some airway.

While everyone was pondering, a soldier walked in outside and said, "Chief, there is an envoy sent by the Gao family who asks to see you."

Zhou Zhitong wondered in his heart, what did the Gao family want to send envoys to come at this juncture? Let the envoy call the envoy in, and said: "The Zhou family and the Gao family have been friends for a hundred years, but today I have something important to discuss with the patriarchs, please ask the envoy to rest in the post house first, and come to discuss with you when the matter is over."

The envoy looked respectful, and then said with a smile: "Chief, I came here this time to be entrusted by the head of my family, it is not a trivial matter, maybe it is related to the matter you discussed, at present, Hu Jun's army is pressing the border, and the war is about to break out, my lord is afraid that the people will cause trouble, so he sent an envoy to the east to make peace, let me come to see the chief, hoping to turn the war into a jade silk and stop this war."

Zhou Zhitong said: "Since the Gao family came forward to make peace, but how can my Zhou family swallow their anger, then Tang Can framed our clan for colluding with the demon clan, which is a great shame for our clan, but my clan is not a greedy person, if the Tang family is willing to withdraw the sword soldiers, for the sake of the people, I am willing to endure this undeserved humiliation and not use the sword soldiers."

The envoy said: "The leader has such a measure, and he sees the death of his children in his heart, even if the Tang family is framed in every way, I want justice to be at ease in the hearts of the people, my lord yearns for peace, I really can't bear the war between the three clans, and I think the Tang family is not a rude person, since the leader has no intention of starting a war, I think there will be an answer in the near future, and the minister retired first."

Everyone watched the envoy leave, and couldn't help but feel guilty, wanting to be in the Zhou family for many years, born and died for the north, and now he has worn out the fighting spirit of the man, which is really ashamed of the leader.

One of the generals stood up unwilling to be humiliated, he was Li Hanming, the general of the Zhou family, this time the Tang family attacked, it was clear that he wanted to slap the face of the Zhou family, this tone was absolutely unbearable, so he said: "Leader, the Tang family is too deceitful, I am willing to lead 100,000 troops to Mingcheng, let that Hu Jun know how powerful our north is."

This aroused a lot of patriarchs and generals, they all stood up, and one patriarch said: "Leader, the Tang family not only framed us for colluding with the demon clan, but also slapped the face of the Zhou family to suppress the older generation of the demon clan, if it reaches the ears of the people, our northern land will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, this tone is really unbearable, we should teach the Tang family a lesson and beat Hu Jun back."

"Call back." Everyone shouted.

Zhou Zhitong's face was expressionless, and he was secretly happy in his heart, the momentum of the northern land is rising in their generation again, this battle must be fought, not only to get rid of the suspicion of collusion with the demon clan, but also to be foolproof, that is, to prevent the demon clan from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the city, but also to convince the Tang family's army.

He said: "Li Hanming, I ordered you to take 100,000 troops to Mingcheng, this battle is only allowed to win and not lose, and the others must protect the innocent people, guard the border city, and prevent the demon clan from taking advantage of this to cause chaos, I am here waiting for your good news, have you heard?"

"The ministers receive orders."

Zhou Zhitong watched the ministers leave, his brows tightened, he slowly clenched his fists, and pondered, Yaxuan, when will you come back!
