Under the leadership of Tang Feng, Liu Xin's 10,000 Xizhou soldiers finally arrived at the barren county town after a few days of hurrying.

Liu Xin did not have any intention of stopping, and continued to advance, and 10,000 Xizhou soldiers, under the command of various deputy generals and lieutenants, took the first step and began to explore the road and deploy defenses.

The rush along the way made Liu Xin's heart tense for a while, although he didn't see too many casualties caused by chasing Su Qi'an along the way.

However, the high security in various counties and counties clearly reveals the seriousness of the situation.

He had heard about what happened in Xizhou, but he didn't expect to be directly sued by the Xizhou Pastor to Kyoto, and finally let His Majesty make a decision.

He was able to become the highest military general in this reinforcement, Liu Xin was quite surprised.

In the Battle of Kyoto, he was not lightly injured, although he is now recovering, but there really must be a suitable person, and there are still some in the court.

As for why he was chosen, Liu Xin could probably guess some on the way here.

He himself is the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and he is a confidant of His Majesty, who has been guarding the safety of the imperial city all the year round, and has not had close contacts with any officials in Beijing, all of which are deeply trusted by Su Xuanyong.

A person like him, who is only loyal to His Majesty, is definitely the best choice to lead troops into Xizhou this time.

He was still very happy to be able to come to Xizhou, and in the defense of Kyoto, he had some friendship with Su Qi'an.

understands Su Qi'an's personality, and it is definitely the responsibility of Xizhou Mu that the Dongshan Army can get to this point.

And before this departure, he was summoned by His Majesty, although His Majesty's meaning is not obvious, but Liu Xin can be sure of one thing, His Majesty definitely does not want Su Xuanyong to die in Xizhou.

Do your best to keep Su Qi'an.

Therefore, Liu Xincai did not rest non-stop, in order to see Su Qi'an as soon as possible.

As long as he saw Su Qi'an, half of Su Qi'an's life was saved, and when the time came, Su Qi'an was taken away from Xizhou with his intervention.

Only by leaving Xizhou can Su Qi'an be the safest.

Although Liu Xin worked as an errand in the imperial city all the year round, he was stationed on the northern border for ten years before joining the forbidden army.

has cultivated a strong acumen, and along the way in Xizhou, Liu Xin can obviously feel Tang Feng's influence on Xizhou.

Not to mention covering the sky with one hand, but basically everyone is afraid of it, and it has a very strong majesty.

No matter how strong Su Qi'an's Dongshan Army is, it is impossible to compete in Tang Feng's territory.

It is already the limit to be able to stir up the storm in Xizhou, but fortunately, the Xizhou soldiers who came back this time are the ones who lead the team.

But if he is hostile to Su Qi'an, or comes back with more Xizhou soldiers, Su Qi'an is dangerous in Xizhou.

Tang Feng rode a horse and walked side by side with Liu Xin, like a guide, without the slightest prevarication, and was quite cooperative along the way.

Everywhere he went, he introduced the latest battle situation to Liu Xin, and he did not hide it from Liu Xin.

This made Liu Xin suspicious, as the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be diligent, and you will be a thief if you are either a woman.

But Liu Xin had no substantive evidence, so he secretly hid his suspicions in his heart, and his vigilance against Tang Feng was not reduced in the slightest.

On the other hand, Tang Feng couldn't see the indifference on Liu Xin's face at all, and he was quite enthusiastic about talking and laughing along the way.

Walking out of the suburbs of the barren county, through a dense forest, in front of which are endless mountains, from a distance, it is extraordinarily spectacular.

Tang Feng and Liu Xin stopped in place, and when they came to an end, a scout came to report quickly.

"Report to Zhou Mu, Commander Liu, Dongshan Hou and others, just in the deep mountains behind, we have sent troops to surround the entrances and exits we found, and now we are waiting for the two adults to give orders."

Tang Feng nodded, and then said, "Send orders to the soldiers on the front line, let them shout at the entrances and exits everywhere, and inform His Majesty the Marquis of Dongshan that he has sent Commander Liu to Xizhou, so that the Marquis of Dongshan can come forward to meet as soon as possible, and everything is easy to discuss."

After speaking, Tang Feng turned his head, looked at Liu Xin beside him, and said with a smile, "Commander Liu, I don't know if this official has arranged it like this, you are satisfied."

Liu Xin nodded and didn't say anything, Tang Feng was completely all

Do what he tells him to do, what else can he say.

If there are outsiders present, those who don't know still think that Liu Xin is a hunting agent for the sky, holding the power of cutting first and then playing.

After all, Tang Feng's current appearance is like a subordinate, very respectful, as long as it is Liu Xin's request, he will meet them one by one, and there is absolutely no resistance.

Not long after the scout left, Liu Xin finally spoke, "Before coming, this commander heard that there was some grudge between Xizhou Mu and Dongshan Hou."

"But now it seems that those rumors are probably nonsense, with the mind of Lord Zhou Mu, this time I returned to Beijing, and I really praised Your Majesty well."

Tang Feng showed a humble look, shook his head again and again, and generously stated, "Commander Liu praised falsely, cooperating with Commander Liu is within his bounds, and the Marquis of Dongshan is from Xizhou, which is the luck of my Xizhou, such a civil and military all-rounder, this official has always admired him."

"Hey, this official also wants to know, why Dongshan Hou has such a big prejudice against me, most of the Dongshan Hou was provoked by villains, and when they meet, under the mediation of Commander Liu, this misunderstanding should be resolved."

"Here, this official thanks Commander Liu for his kindness in advance, as for the praise, forget it, as an official, it is to share the worries of His Majesty, such an unpleasant thing happened in Xizhou."

"I had to ask Your Majesty for support, it's quite embarrassing to say this, if the matter can be resolved satisfactorily this time, this official will already be very content, and the other officials will be deserved."

"Hmph, the mind of the state pastor is really righteous, and the commanders who listened to it were a little moved."

Although Liu Xin said with a smile, he became more and more disdainful of this state pastor in his heart.

It sounded so good in front of him, and he had no choice but to say it, and he didn't know who it was, in the military report to His Majesty, he called the Dongshan Army of the Marquis of Dongshan a horror.

It seems that if His Majesty does not support, Xizhou will have to be completely chaotic.

For this kind of person, Liu Xin has seen a lot, that is no intersection, today I saw this Xizhou pastor, and when I return to Beijing in the future, I have to let Your Majesty investigate him well.

With many years of military career, Liu Xin always feels that this Xizhou pastor is not simple.

While the two were talking, not long after, a scout quickly ran over, his voice a little excited.

"Return... Back to the two adults, the words have been brought to the Marquis of Dongshan, who is in the mountain pass ahead, waiting for the two adults to meet."

Hearing this, Liu Xin was a little excited, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, take us there!"

The scout didn't dare to slack off, turned over his horse, and led the way in front, and Liu Xin quickly chased after him.

Tang Feng instructed Liu Xin to slow down, and then waved his hand, and the Xizhou soldiers behind him quickly followed.

This time the journey was not far, but it was only a mile or two, and it was all open land.

When Liu Xin stopped, there were two towering mountains in front of him, and there was a huge moat between them.

This moat is very wide, at least about ten meters, and it is no problem to accommodate two or three people to walk.

At this time, the vicinity of the moat has long been surrounded by Xizhou soldiers, and the arrows in their hands are pointing at the moat from afar, just waiting for an order, and ten thousand arrows can be fired at once.

Soon after Liu Xin arrived, under the leadership of Tang Feng, most of the Xizhou soldiers also arrived, and the Xizhou soldiers converged and completely surrounded this moat.

Feeling the big movement behind him, Liu Xin frowned and said in a low voice, "Tang Zhou Mu, what do you mean by this? Didn't you put most of them in place? Why did you bring them all?"

Tang Feng hurriedly explained, "Commander Liu, I am also thinking about your safety, after all, you were sent by His Majesty, if something happens, this official can't afford it."

"For the sake of safety, it's better to be cautious, and it's always here, it's impossible to let them leave, at this time, the slightest movement may make Dongshan Hou feel that there is a problem."

Tang Feng's answer was uncomfortable in Liu Xinxin, but he also knew that the moment was the key. Look at the book

Rashly letting most of the Xizhou soldiers evacuate is likely to make Su Qi'an in the moat mistakenly think that they have some new plans.

When the time comes, if there is a mess, it will be difficult to collect

Field.

Liu Xin instructed Tang Feng online that without his order, the Xizhou soldiers in the rear were forbidden to take any action.

After the admonition, Liu Xin rode his horse and stepped forward a few steps and shouted into the moat.

"Dongshan Hou, I am the commander of the forbidden army Liu, you should hear my voice."

"Your Majesty is clear about the conflict between you and Xizhou Mu, and specially sent me to mediate, and asked Dongshan Hou to take the overall situation as the priority and come out to meet, I promise that I will give you and Dongshan Jun a satisfactory explanation."

Liu Xin's voice was loud and slowly passed into the moat, but there was no movement in the moat.

This made Liu Xin feel strange, he looked at the scout on the side and confirmed, "Can you be sure that Dongshan Hou is really in this moat?"

"The subordinates will never dare to deceive the commander, and the Marquis of Dongshan is indeed in the moat."

Not long after the sound of the scout fell, there was a movement in the moat, it was the sound of horses' hooves, and it seemed to be slowly approaching.

But as the sound got closer and closer, and was about to come out of the moat, the sound of the horse's hooves disappeared.

There were some chattering sounds in the moat, although they couldn't be heard clearly, but they should have been divided.

In order to see Su Qi'an as soon as possible, Liu Xin took a few steps forward again, and he had already come to the middle position, and he said loudly.

"Dongshan Hou, please come out and see you, I will definitely guarantee your safety!"

The moment the voice fell, a cold cheer sounded in the moat.

"Shit safe! Brothers, this Commander Liu from Kyoto is working with Tang Feng as a woman, in order to deceive and lure us, brothers!"

In an instant, more than a dozen arrows were shot directly from the moat, heading straight for Liu Xin.

Although Liu Xin had many years of experience in warfare, the arrows he shot came very suddenly, and the distance was very close, only fifty or sixty meters.

Liu Xin reacted quickly, drew his knife and swung it, barely resisting some of the arrows, but after all, open arrows were easy to dodge, and dark arrows were difficult to defend.

Just when Liu Xin struggled to resist, I don't know when, quietly, in a shadow, an arrow shot straight at two.

Liu Xin accidentally shot directly in the chest and fell from the horse.

Tang Feng, who was in the rear, looked at this scene and immediately shouted, "The whole army listened to the order, and the Marquis of Dongshan shot and killed Commander Liu of Kyoto, intending to rebel, kill me, and capture Su Qi'an alive."

As Tang Feng's order fell, the mighty Xizhou soldiers were like a tide, frantically rushing towards the moat ahead.

rushed up, and the situation that was finally controlled was completely chaotic.
