Kang Cong, who had just been helped to sit up, leaned on the head of the bed, raised his weak eyes to look, and after a moment of tension, he suddenly turned his head sideways and retched violently.

"Quick, get out of the way! Mu Sheng just woke up, and he couldn't smell the meat! Yueshi hurriedly said.

The maid hastened to carry the plate of horse meat away from the bed.

Kang Cong was in a coma for several days, he couldn't vomit anything at all, the violent convulsions made his body cramp and tremble for a long time, Yueshi patted him on the back, and wept nonstop.

Only Kang Cong knew that what made him want to vomit uncontrollably was not "meaty", but great fear and discomfort, and anger that was so strange that even he himself was not aware of it.

It was extremely difficult for Yueshi to feed him the decoction and drink it.

After handing over the medicine bowl to the maid, Yueshi retreated from the other maid before daring to ask in a panicked manner, "Mu Sheng, you tell Ah Niang, what mistake did you make?" Why did you provoke your father so angry? You have been so badly wounded, and yet he has your feet barred and no one is allowed to visit......"

"What did I do wrong...... Kang Cong leaned weakly on the head of the bed, looked at the top of the bed, and said with a somewhat empty look in his eyes: "My existence may be the biggest mistake." ”

This sentence was like a long needle, stinging Yue's fiercely, and she said helplessly: "It's A-Niang who can't stand you......"

Yes, she was a lowly slave to please the dancing girl who lived by the powerful warriors...... So, no matter how she swore to assure, there was always a trace of doubt in the envoy's heart about Mu Sheng's bloodline.

Later, she gave birth to a daughter for the festival envoy, but the rumors about Mu Sheng still did not stop, and the days of their mother and son were spent in this way.

But before, it was possible to live on it, but since the uprising of the envoys, those Langjun and their mothers, who treated Mu Sheng and her suppression, have become increasingly unconcealed......

"It was clearly not like this before...... In the past, although they looked down on our mother and son, they never targeted ...... in every way."

Yue's helplessness was stunned, and a voice interrupted her: "Now that my father wants to seize the momentum, it is naturally different from before!" ”

"The father's power is expanding, and the ambitions of his sons are naturally growing, who doesn't want to stand out in the process and become the one who is valued and appreciated by the father? Isn't it the same with my brother? He is so eager to emerge, but he has no foundation, what is not the target sent to the door! ”

Striding in was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she was wearing a fox fur cloak, her complexion was dark, her face was round, she was a little delicate, but at this moment, her deep eyes were sharp, her thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and she had an exposed rebellious aura all over her body, which was very rare even among Hu women.

"Ani......" Yueshi saw this daughter who only likes to play with sticks since she was a child, and when she is older, she starts to ride a horse and shoot, which makes her very unconscious, and she is stunned for no reason, and her voice is also very unconfident: "Your brother just woke up, you whisper a little ......"

"He is not afraid of such a big disaster, but he is afraid that I will speak loudly!" Kang Zhi took a few steps to the side of the bed, staring at Kang Cong angrily with a pair of big eyes.

Kang Cong didn't squeak.

Yue's comforted his daughter: "Let your brother eat some food first, and when he has the strength, let's ...... again."

Kang Zhi: "What to eat?" Severed head rice! ”

Yue's expression was shocked: "Ani, what are you talking nonsense......"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Kang Zhi said: "Now it is said that Brother betrayed his father and killed that Hongchen!" My father was so suspicious, how could he let us go so easily! ”

"No matter how suspicious you are, you won't want our lives...... Yue's heart was raised high, and he said with a pale face: "You and Mu Sheng, are his biological flesh and blood......

Kang Zhi sneered: "Ah Niang, don't you know how my father sat on the throne of this Pinglu Festival?" ”

At the beginning of the Emperor's accession to the throne, he had wantonly killed the vassal kings and border generals who were dissatisfied with her, and the original Pinglu Jiedu envoy was also suspected by the empress. Later, under the promotion of the empress, he became the new envoy of the Pinglu Festival step by step.

Because of this past that many people know well, Kangding Mountain has always been the empress's henchman in the eyes of the world.

He has always been very attentive and obedient, and he actively supports and responds to all the decrees made by the empress. Regarding the affairs of the jurisdiction, they will always report to the Beijing Division on time.

In addition to being very competent in official affairs, he would also ask people to search for beautiful men from time to time, send them to Beijing, and present them to the empress.

No one thought that such a loyal and attentive Kangding Mountain would be the first border town general to raise troops, and chose to collude with the alien people.

Kang Zhi: "He first betrayed the old master, and now he is against the emperor, I'm afraid that only my mother thinks that my father is a good person who will take care of the so-called old love, right?" ”

A cold sweat broke out in Yue's palms, and she subconsciously grabbed her son's hand, lowered her tense voice, and asked, "Mu Sheng, think about it, is someone deliberately framing you in this matter?" We find that man, and we may be able to prove your innocence to your father!" ”

Her son, who hoped to be approved by his father like that, would never collude with foreign enemies!

Framed?

Kang Cong's expression kept changing, and he muttered, "Hong Chen really wants me to die outside......

When he was held hostage by Wei Shuyi, Hong Chen chose to abandon him, he only felt angry and humiliated at that time, but now that he thinks about it, since he negotiated with Wei Shuyi, Hong Chen's calculations have only begun......

Hong Chen understands his temperament so well, but repeatedly stops him in front of outsiders, it may not be that he deliberately provokes his rebelliousness, and wants to see him fall into Wei Shuyi's trap......

At this moment, Kang Cong hated others and felt self-hating, he was always so reckless, he would be calculated everywhere!

Yue's eyes were full of uneasiness: "It's the Hong family...... Is it Shiro-kun? ”

Kang Cong didn't know what he thought, and he didn't answer for a while, and his eyes fluctuated.

Kang Zhi looked at him steadily: "The Hong family is not well-intentioned, and they can think of it with their toes!" But the most critical point, why didn't Brother say a word? ”

She leaned forward, suddenly grabbed Kang Cong's middle coat collar, and stared at Kang Cong tightly with a pair of eyes: "How did Brother come back?" Don't say it's a fluke, luck also needs skills, brother doesn't have this ability! ”

She had already inquired carefully, among the reinforcements of that group of envoys, there was even the Xuan Ce army, how could it be easy to let go of Brother A, a child of the Kang family?

The girl's voice almost gritted her teeth: "How long does Brother plan to hide it?" ”

Kang Cong was grabbed by her neckline like this.

Kang Cong has a short temper, but there has always been no way to take this sister who is more grumpy than him.

First, this seems to be a kind of blood suppression, and secondly, maybe he knows in his heart that his sister's strength is meant to protect him and his mother, and in this huge Kang family, only they are one.

Therefore, no matter how uneasy and frightened he was, he still chose to confide at this moment: "It's her, the person who really calculated me, it's her ......"

Kang Zhi twisted her eyebrows: "Who is she?" ”

"Speak!" The girl hated to give Kang Cong a slap, and she anxiously whispered: "I let the silver hook and copper mace guard outside, you just have to say!" ”

Kang Cong gritted his trembling teeth: "Chang ...... Chang Sui Ning ......"

Kang Zhi's expression froze: "That Jiangdu Assassin Shi? ”

Seeing that his sister suddenly faded from the fierce and vicious color, Kang Cong's teeth clenched even tighter: "That's right, it's the Jiangdu Thorn Shi you admire the most!" ”

Over the years, everyone knows that he is strong by nature, but they don't know that his sister is a hundred times better and stronger than him, and the stronger the person, the more she likes it, so since last year, she has been infatuated with the famous Chang Thorn Shi!

"I now understand that she deliberately let me go just to make my father suspicious of me! She wants to kill me! ”

Kang Zhi spread her hand and slapped her brother on the head - the force was just right, and it didn't hurt her brain.

"What stupid are you talking about!" She said disgustedly: "Chang Assassin Shi wants you to die, won't it be over if you stab you to death on the spot?" Why do you have to borrow your father's hand? ”

The girl said firmly: "Chang Thorn Shi keeps you, there must be another ...... Another use! ”

Considering the situation and position at the moment, Kang Zhi swallowed back the word "wonderful use" in time.

"Could it be a divisive plan...... Yueshi said in horror: "She wants to borrow you to deal with your father?" ”

But where did her son come to do this?

You must know that the number of people they can mobilize in the Kang family is ...... Not as many as the three of them combined!

This Chang Thorn Shi shouldn't have done a background check, I don't know if the three of them will be so shabby and incompetent, right?

Kang Zhi looked at his brother: "Didn't Chang Assassin Shi say anything to you?" ”

She said...... If I want to find a way to live...... You can ask her for help. Kang Cong was both afraid and hated at the moment, but the person who blocked his way of life was clearly her!

From letting him go, to giving him his horse...... She had already calculated the situation he would face when he returned!

"Help? How do I ask for help? Kang Zhi asked hurriedly.

Kang Cong's expression was complicated: "She didn't say it!" ”

Kang Zhi frowned puzzled, what does this mean?

"If you don't say it, you don't say it...... We just don't know about it! "Yue's face is already covered with cold sweat, colluding with outsiders to betray the envoy? This kind of terrible thing, just thinking about it, made her faint with fright.

"Next, don't do anything, don't go anywhere......"

"Even if the envoy is suspicious, but at the moment it is only suspicion, is he going to kill all three of us for this suspicion without evidence?"

"As long as we do our part...... In time, the envoy will always be able to distinguish the true from the fake! ”

Listening to her mother's words clinging to the word luck, Kang Zhi did not speak.

Is it really as simple as my mother said?

Is the intention of Chang Shi really stop there? Is it just a thorn in the way of planting a thorn between my father and my brother?

At the same time, a small copper flag platform in Cui Jing's hand fell on a position in the sand table located in the middle and upper part of Yingzhou and Jizhou.

There is a place here, known as Iron Stone Fort, which is located in the middle of nowhere, and is sheltered by mountains, and few people know about it.

Kangding Mountain's army could never be improvised.

The first thing to do before starting the army is to hoard grain, grass, ordnance and materials. But the empress is not completely defenseless towards him, there is no shortage of the empress's eyes and ears around him, in order to avoid those eyes and ears, everything can only be done secretly outside Yingzhou-

In order to take into account the secrecy and the convenience of raising troops in the future, Kangding Mountain chose to hoard in the ironstone fort located on the north side of Yingzhou and Jizhou.

After he occupied Jizhou, he did not remove all those materials, one is to march and fight, there is no reason to bet all the grain, grass and military funds on the front line, and regular transportation is even more foolproof. Second, at this moment, Jizhou is not only his Kangding Mountain's alone, but also the people of the Yao, and Kangding Mountain has always been wary of the Yao.

Therefore, most of the grain and grass military assets in Kangding Mountain are always hidden in the Iron Stone Fort.

This is a first-class military secret, even if it is an intelligence organization under Chang Suining, it is easy to detect it.

Cui Jing can know where this place is, thanks to Hong Chen.

After Hong Chen was woken up by Doctor Cao with a needle, he was interrogated as soon as he opened his eyes.

At the beginning, the adviser in charge of interrogating him first asked some other questions, and the answers to these questions were mostly based on the information provided by Chang Suining-

At first, Hong Chen refused to tell the truth, but the price for every question he answered incorrectly was a finger.

After breaking three fingers one after another, Hong Chen, who was woken up from a coma again and again by Doctor Cao, completely collapsed - he didn't know how much information these people had, but he could always tell the truth from the falsehood of his words!

He began to lose track of what was a temptation, and his will was disintegrating under the physical and psychological torture.

This is how the existence of Ironstone Castle came about.

At the same time, the strategist in charge of the interrogation was also able to completely dispel the doubts in his heart during the interrogation process - the information given by Chang Assassin Shi was indeed true and credible, and thank God, the governor of his family was indeed not a person who was in a state of mind.

And in the past few days, they have also received information from the front one after another, most of which is consistent with the information of Chang Assassin. What Hong Chen said further confirmed the credibility of the information in the history of Chang Assassin.

All doubts have been dispelled, and the next step is to act.

They decided to launch a surprise attack on Ironstone Fort first, and for this operation, they also asked Chang Thorn Shi's opinion, and got two words: [Feasible. 】

In order to ensure concealment, the number of sergeants in charge of guarding the ironstone fort was not destined to be too much, but it was by no means small, and the number they learned from Hong Chenkou was 3,000 people, in addition, there were patrols on the periphery.

According to the information provided by Hong Chen, Cui Jing invited Chang Suining to work out a detailed and highly targeted surprise attack plan with his advisors.

This surprise attack was crucial, and Vice General Yu and Yuan Xiang jointly led two thousand elite light cavalry to go.

There are not many people of 2,000, but if you want to successfully avoid the interrogation along the way, it is impossible to make a big fanfare.

Because of the control of the intelligence opportunity, the enemy is clear and I am dark, Yuan Xiang and others have no danger all the way, and in the middle of the second day and night, they silently approached the rear of the Iron Stone Fort.

They still did not intend to go head-to-head over this, and Yuan Xiang and Vice Admiral Yu acted separately according to the plan, intending to dive as far deeper as possible without alarming the least number of people, and then set fire to the warehouse.

Yuan Xiang led his subordinates, and when he was about to quietly approach a granary, he suddenly heard a strong dog barking in front of him.

Yuan Xiang's face changed, and he was in a hurry, and borrowed a boulder to hide his figure in the dark night, pinched his throat and said: "...... Whew! ”

The subordinate at his side: "? ”

How can you learn to be like this!

Yuanxiang's bark is particular, he also followed Xiaoduan Xiaowu to learn ventriloquism for a period of time, it is said that there are many kinds of dog barking, in dog language, his name is equivalent to conveying - [It's boring, play with me!] 】

Sure enough, the big dog tilted its head suspiciously in the darkness, and curiously walked towards the hiding place of Yuan Xiang and the others. (End of chapter)
