"I know you must be curious as to why I'm here, so well, you're out of town on a fast horse tonight. I'll tell you the answer. After Xiao Chengze finished speaking, he directly turned the dock and returned to his camp.

Yang Shibalang stood in place, unable to return to his senses for a long time. You must know that now it is announced that Xiao Chengze has been in the palace and is seriously ill, so he was exploited by King Duan.

Yang Shibalang definitely didn't believe what Xiao Chengtian said about wanting to be the emperor and king, but how could the people who didn't like power and being bound the most among them take advantage of the emperor's illness to usurp the throne?

Yang Shibalang secretly thought in his heart that Xiao Chengze must have been sick and handed over the power to King Duan. King Liwang saw this good opportunity, so he wanted to block the power on himself in the name of the Qing monarch, and when Xiao Chengze died of illness, he would be the emperor himself.

I didn't expect to see Xiao Chengze outside Stone City now, Yang Shibalang actually didn't want to participate in this kind of imperial power struggle, but the Yang family had already stood firm in the struggle, because it was a bit of a wall grass, and the two sides were down, so their Yang family's attitude was whoever has more advantages now, they would stand against whom, whether this person was a Ming monarch or a tyrant, it could only be said that it was his own behavior, and it was good to support the monarch as a courtier.

"Do you think General Yang will really come?" Zhou Yunyi was anxiously in the woods, looking back and forth, but he never saw a single figure.

"I'm not 100% sure, but I have a good chance he'll come." Xiao Chengze put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction in the distance.

The Yang family is a wall-to-wall grass, this matter is a fact that almost everyone knows from him, even if they really know about the past conspiracy now, it is very likely that they will pretend to be confused and pretend not to know anything, anyway, for them, no matter who is the emperor, it will not change their favor and interests.

Yang Shibalang is the most outstanding generation of the Yang family, even if there is some jealousy and hatred in his character, there is no guarantee that he will choose to stand on Xiao Chengtian's side with his mother's family for the glory and interests of the family.

In order to show his sincerity, Xiao Chengze deliberately did not bring a single soldier, only Zhou Yunyi, which can be said to be a manifestation of extreme trust in Yang Shibalang, and the two of them also hope that this performance of trust can be exchanged for Yang Shibalang's support.

"He's coming." Xiao Chengze heard the sound of a fast horse galloping, and at this time, he would gallop over, and I am afraid that there is no one else but Yang Shibalang.

Yang Shibalang got off the horse and knelt in front of Xiao Chengze. "Your Majesty the Emperor."

"Get up, I don't look like an emperor now." Xiao Chengze said.

Yang Shibalang was shocked by this sentence. "I hope Your Majesty will make all this clear?"

"It's easy to say. It's just that I have nothing to do and want to visit the microservice, so I called it sick, but I didn't expect to be taken advantage of by the king, and now I can't go back to my home, and I'm no longer me. ”

Yang Shibalang then understood what happened, it turned out that it was not that Xiao Chengze was seriously ill as he imagined and left the king to seize power, but that the king had calculated from the beginning and wanted to wait for an opportunity, anyway, to catch up with Xiao Chengze when he went out of the city.

Yang Shibalang is now in an endless entanglement in his heart, and he also knows that this time Xiao Chengze specially asked him to the grove in the middle of the night, he must have wanted to win him over, at least he wanted to enter the capital through the stone prison to attack the king, but for him, if Xiao Chengze passed through the stone city, it was very likely that he had broken with his own family.

"I don't understand the general's suffering. Won't force the general to do something he doesn't want to do. "Zhou Yun stood up according to the facts." Just like we understand General Situ. ”

General Situ defected, Yang Shibalang also heard about it, and heard that Situ Rou, as his biological daughter, also expressed extreme shame and anger at his behavior, and the two fought on the spot. Situ Rou was injured and fled.

"I just hope that we can open our eyes and close our eyes, and let us pass through Stone City smoothly, after all, Stone City said that those videos are also the people of Great Xia, and we can't bear it."

Yang Shibalang fell into endless entanglements in his heart.

"I know that the general wants to take care of the glory of the family and also to ensure the safety of his family, and it is quite difficult for you to make a decision at this time."

Zhou Yunyi said: "Why don't we play a show, pretend to lose to us tomorrow's general, let us pass the customs smoothly and other things, and don't care about anything." ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, I believe that Xiao Chengtian will not be difficult for you and the Yang family no matter what."

Xiao Chengze launched a fierce confession. "I know that if there is turmoil today, it is not certain who will be the emperor in the future, and it is also unknown who you will do under whose hands, so you will be entangled now, but I am thinking, no matter what the world is in the future, he is the world of the people after all, I don't want to use the bones of the people to embark on the road to success, I didn't want to do it before, I don't want it now, and I don't want it in the future."

Yang Shibalang understands that Xiao Chengze is a benevolent person, he cares about the people of the world, and since he ascended the throne, he has never said anything about ascites or any large-scale construction projects. In terms of these things, it is already much better than the previous emperors, the previous emperors. Although they have to be serious, they are too indulged in fun, everything needs the best, and the taxes of the peasants, who have been extremely empty of state control in a few years, are also increasing year by year. Whether it is a flood or just a cure, the effect is extremely poor.

"I've always been willing to accompany Your Majesty and accompany the Queen Mother to play a play." Yang Shibalang finally agreed to help.

"Thank you general, it's just that on your battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and I'm afraid that the general will need to be injured tomorrow to make people look realistic." Zhou Yunyi said.

"It's okay, I've been on the battlefield since I was a child, don't be afraid of the factory for so many years. I'm afraid that a broken arm and a leg are nothing to me, let alone a small injury. "Yang Shibalang is a very courageous person.

After the three of them talked, Yang Shibalang talked about the heavy pace again, as well as the time of their exchange class, if they attacked during the exchange class, it would be more real.

Zhou Yunyi and Xiao Chengze also agreed.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Yang Shibalang rode a fast horse and rushed to the city at high speed.

"If you really say you're an upright young man." Zhou Yunyi watched Yang Shibalang gallop away, and couldn't help but sigh in the back.

"It's because I fancy the jealousy and hatred in his bones that I will make such a bold act, but I don't think it's a good thing to let them help me, what I really want to do is to completely pull him into our camp and let the entire Stone Town become our solid backing." Xiao Chengze said.

Xiao Chengze is very short of generals and troops. And Stone City has exactly these two things, whether it is the army defending the city or the good general Yang Shibalang, it is a rare treasure for him, so he has to do everything possible to get the treasure in his pocket now.

"I feel that he is willing to help us now and make a big concession to let him join us completely, I don't think it's possible, after all, the Yang family has now returned to Xiao Chengtian's side, why wouldn't he take care of the safety of his family and throw himself to us?"

Zhou Yunyi felt that there were only a few people like Situ Rou who dared to abandon their father and family and completely cut off contact, and most people couldn't be as happy as him.

Xiao Chengze said: "He has no intention of joining us at all, but as long as his heart is not on Xiao Chengtian's side, then you are not on our side, but in the middle, which means that he has the possibility of being persuaded." ”

"Then who is going to convince him to do this?" Zhou Yunyi asked.

"Situ Rou."

"After Situ Rou successfully persuades Yang Shibalang to join us, we will send Situ Rou back to a safer place, and then."

The next day, Xiao Chengze was in accordance with the time of the change of the guard in the army. The attack was carried out, and sure enough, because of the change of guard, many soldiers almost didn't have time to put on their armor, but their weapons were subdued by the army led by Xiao Chengze, and the city gate was quickly knocked open by an extremely thick elm.

Xiao Chengze took out a spear and rode on horseback to prepare to face Yang Shibalang.

Yang Shibalang actually rode out of the city gate to face the battle, and his very characteristic machete was still in his hand. Yang Shibalang knew that Xiao Chengze's strength was not bad, so he didn't release water when acting, but fought a few rounds with real knives and guns until the end of the third round and the beginning of the fourth round. Yang Shibalang gradually gained the upper hand, this was not the result of his concession, but he just had the upper hand.

Yang Shibalang knew that the time was almost up, and if he lost now, it would be the most perfect release.

Xiao Chengze, you noticed that the struggle between the two of them had almost been fought and was about to end, so he directly picked a gun and pierced Yang Shibanlang's shoulder, but his family was very skillful, and he did not pierce the vital point, nor did he carry out propaganda, he wanted to break his tendons in the same way, but only pierced it shallowly, and the blood would definitely flow out and look extremely harmful, but in fact, it did not hurt the bones or tendons.

Zhou Yunyi saw it clearly in the rear, he was always afraid that something would go wrong at this time, in fact, he was mainly afraid that Xiao Chengtian would send some killers to assassinate them, so he took the girls from the eight-story tower to wait in the rear.
