When the voice of the British Duke came, Xiao Fengshan's hand holding the spear instantly clenched.

But soon, it was silently released again.

Because, he saw nearly a thousand elite cavalry behind the British duke.

"Xiao Sanlang, I haven't seen you for more than ten years since I said goodbye to Beijing that day, and now we meet on the battlefield, and thanks to you for coming hundreds of miles to help, how can I say it if I don't have a drink!"

The British duke's voice was heroic and hearty, Xiao Fengshan just hugged his fists, "The British duke is polite." ”

"You're really polite!" The British duke stepped forward immediately, pointed at Li Rufeng, and said with a smile to Xiao Fengshan: "Don't get me wrong, I know your temperament, and I made a special trip to let him stop you, and I don't mean anything to be unfavorable to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone under Xiao Fengshan's command were a little soothed, including Li Rufeng, and their faces looked a lot better.

Xiao Fengshan looked at the British Duke and did not speak, but with that expression, it was obviously impossible to be fooled by the other party's few words.

The British Duke smiled and said: "There are some things, I don't want to say much, but you and I are both martial artists, and we are both relatives of the emperor, I haven't seen each other for many years, and today we have experienced a big war, isn't it worth a pot of wine?" If you are not at ease, then order a great tent to be built in this valley of Sparrowtail, and you and I will drink together! ”

Xiao Fengshan looked at him, and finally took off some of his guard, "The British Duke is so gracious, but he is disrespectful. With a sword, you take a team of people to the valley to help set up a military tent, and tonight, I will not get drunk with the British duke! ”

The British Duke laughed, "Let's go, go around this hill first, and see how this most powerful rebellion in the Chongning period was put out by our joint efforts." ”

The two of them each took a few personal soldiers and climbed the hill on the side.

After some pointers and reminiscences of old feelings, the camp tent below was also set up.

The food prepared by the Huotou Army was quickly delivered, and the British Duke and Xiao Fengshan sat in a camp tent and toasted together.

The rest of the lieutenant generals in the army and the generals of the Dragon Head Army also gathered together, drank and sang.

The sound of laughter was heard far and wide in the night.

When another dawn came, Xiao Fengshan woke up from a splitting headache and found himself lying on a hard bed.

He rubbed his head and got up and shouted, but before his own soldiers could respond, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

He got up directly and rushed out of the big tent, only to see that outside the big tent, his own soldiers and generals under his command were all pressed to the ground by five flowers, and they were strictly guarded by the sergeants who were dressed in sharp clothes.

Even the 1,000 sergeants who had arranged in advance yesterday not to drink alcohol as a vigilance were surrounded by the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

And the British duke had already put on his battle armor and stood aside with a sword.

"Lu Rusong! You mean! ”

Xiao Fengshan's tiger eyes widened, he scolded, and was about to rush forward as he spoke, but was directly blocked by more than ten sergeants with guns.

His subordinates in the field also followed the commotion.

"Whoever stirs! No mercy! ”

The British public shouted angrily, first calmed the field, and then said coldly: "I did lie to you, but you! You guys! Is it really that above board? ”

"As a state pastor, as an officer and soldier of the imperial court, he does not listen to the edict, does not respect the holy decree, and acts in the name of the courtiers! The rebels are hateful! How are you better than the rebels? ”

The British Duke looked at the generals of the Longshou Army who gradually fell silent, "Xiao Fengshan asked you to go east to the east, let you go west to the west, Your Majesty and the center will not listen to the will, you don't forget, you are always the people of Great Xia, your Majesty's courtiers, not his Xiao Fengshan's house slaves!" ”

His tone slowly retracted, "Moreover, do you really think that Your Majesty will be so unreasonable and suspicious of heroes at every turn?" Listen to this decree in my hand! ”

He took out a bright yellow scroll of holy decree from his bosom and opened it, and said calmly: "Lord Xiao, Your Majesty has a will, listen to the will!" ”

Immediately, he looked at Xiao Fengshan with a hostile look on his face, and sighed, "Forget it, I don't expect you to salute, so just listen to it!" Everybody's listening, too. ”

As he spoke, he recited the holy decree again, to the effect that Xiao Fengshan made a special honor, put down the traitors together, and added the prince and young master, Tongzhong Shumen under the Ping Zhangshi, and Shangshu right servant to shoot, and ordered him to enter Beijing with the army, and the emperor personally congratulated him.

And with the recitation of this holy decree, except for Xiao Fengshan's absolute loyalty, most of the hostility of the dragon head army has been eliminated.

Your Majesty just doesn't want Longshou Prefecture to continue to lose its tail, what's wrong with him?

Speaking of which, the state pastor has indeed gone too far over the years!

"If you don't believe it, then follow Ben Shuai back to Beijing to have a look!"

Saying that, the British Duke put away the holy decree, pointed to the carriage parked on the side, and looked at Xiao Fengshan, "Xiao Sanlang, please?" ”

Under the gaze of everyone, and under the coercion of the soldiers who were waiting around him, Xiao Fengshan resigned himself to exhaling a breath of turbidity and stepped into the carriage.

In a short time, the army pulled out of camp.

Except for the 5,000 soldiers and horses who stayed here to clean up the remnants, the rest of the troops all returned to Beijing.

Along with them, there are the leaders of the rebels who have been directly wiped out, or their heads.

There are also the three thousand dragon head army who have been unarmed, and their leader Xiao Fengshan.

A few fast horses broke away from the large army and galloped to Zhongjing to report the victory.

At the same time, a man in black also rode a horse to a nearby county town and found the rudder of the Black Ice Platform.

Not long after, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew to Zhongjing.

——

The river is surging, and a small boat slowly docks towards the pier.

The two guards disembarked first, bought a few decent clothes and came back, and everyone changed into them.

Before getting off the boat, Qin Li looked at the shopkeeper Qin in Xichu County, and said with a little arrogance but not disgusting: "I have worked hard for you this time, don't worry, I have written down your name, and I will definitely show Miss Ming after returning to Beijing, and I will have your own benefits." ”

The shopkeeper Qin hurriedly thanked him, after getting along for a day and a night, he could see that in this line, there is at least one man and a woman who is not lost to the maid of the eldest lady of the Qin family in front of him, and they can still have so many guards in this line, it must be a role he can't afford to provoke, serve them honestly, and the opportunity to change his life may come.

What bullshit changes the dynasty, the emperor can be changed, and the family can't be changed.

With the size of the Qin family, they will not lose the royal family.

No matter how the shopkeeper Qin thought about it, after Qin Li explained this, he and everyone got off the boat one after another and came to the dock in Huaishou County.

This is the confluence of Huaishui and Yingshui, if you want to go north to Yingshui, almost all have to make a supply here, by the way to change ships or something, so it is also quite prosperous.

And Xia Jingyun went to Chuning County when he went here, and he also rested here for a night.

When their feet stepped on the solid ground again, Xia Jingyun, Su Yanyan, Qin Li and others all felt like they were in a different world.

Chuning County and Xichu County have been left far behind, but the danger has not completely left.

Therefore, the cautious people were not presumptuous, but silently found a mid-range inn to live in and freshen up their own.

Because the situation was urgent, Qin Li and Su Yanyan's maids stayed in Mingyu Tower and entrusted Ye Hongluan to take care of them, so at this moment, in order to take care of each other, Xia Jingyun proposed to let the two of them live in a room.

The two daughters both looked embarrassed, not because they disliked each other, but because they felt that they couldn't let go of their faces.

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Yes, it's me who owes it to consideration, but I'm afraid that something will happen to any of you if you live alone, so why don't the three of us live together?" ”

Su Yanyan and Qin Li immediately agreed to the proposal of the two of them to share a room, and hurriedly entered the door.

Looking at the playful expressions of the guards led by Chen Fugui, Xia Jingyun snorted, "What do you know!" ”

In the room, Su Yanyan and Qin Li were sitting on the bed, the atmosphere was awkward and a little at a loss.

Qin Li suddenly spoke: "Sister Su, did you say he did it on purpose?" ”

Of course, Su Yanyan's brain reacted quickly, "That's it!" He did it on purpose, thinking that we would solve it ourselves, and he watched the play with his hands on the sidelines! ”

Qin Li thought deeply, "This person has a lot of flowers and intestines, he must think like this!" ”

In the room, the secret words of the daughter's boudoir quietly broke the embarrassment, and the smart girl followed the steps, closing the distance between each other with the same enemy, and their enemy was lying alone on the bed at the moment, thinking of the two stunning beauties lying next door who were in love with themselves, and deeply realized what it means to have three monks without water to drink.

But these things are only trivial, after running for days, everyone is quite tired, after washing up a little, ordering wine and food to eat and drink in the room, arranging for the people on duty at night, and then each of them went to sleep.

Any strange thoughts were quickly drowned out by extreme exhaustion.

The next morning, Xia Jingyun got up from bed, only to feel that the exhaustion, forgetting to sleep and food, and overdrawn energy of the past few days had been replenished.

Refreshed, he got up and went out, and said hello to Qin Li with Su Yanyan, who had also recovered a lot of beauty.

But inexplicably received two white eyes.

？？？

You're not going to sneak around and kick me on your own, are you?

Xia Jingyun secretly teased in his heart, and he was quite relieved in his heart, a smart woman is good, and she can solve the problem without saying more.

Of course, he is the one who made the calculation, if such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is missed, where will the opportunity for peace come from in this back house.

By the time they had eaten breakfast and cleaned up, the guards had already rented a mediocre ship in advance.

The group got on the boat, and as when they came before, they went north to Liancheng County, and then went straight to Zhongjing.

On the deck, Xia Jingyun stood upright, watching the river flowing backwards under his feet, watching the surrounding scenery slowly retreat, but in his expression, there was not much comfort on the river surface, and his eyebrows were all melancholy.

"In just this short journey, we have heard the news of the four flagrant murder of officials and rebellion, and counting those who occupy the mountain as kings, the old military god has only been gone for such a short time, and the situation has already collapsed so much."

Su Yanyan, who was dressed in white, walked slowly to his left and sighed softly.

Qin Li, who was dressed in green clothes, walked to his right and stood still, and said slowly: "This is still the Sixiang Prefecture adjacent to Zhongzhou, such as Swift Prefecture, Langya Prefecture, Baiyang Prefecture and other warlike places, such as Yongwu Prefecture and other border places, I am afraid that it will become more and more unbearable, and the world is really in chaos." ”

Xia Jingyun looked left and right, "No, shouldn't you two come up to comfort me, why don't you just stab a knife in my heart!" ”

Su Yanyan said lightly: "You can't even stand the status quo, what are you talking about reorganizing the rivers and mountains and striving for peace in the world?" ”

Qin Li was much more gentle, and said with a smile: "Zhuang Yuanlang's heart is so big, he can pretend to be so many people, a few more won't get in the way, right?" ”

Xia Jingyun:.

He had no choice but to change the topic, "Since Xiao Fengshan dares to send troops to surround Chuning County, he will inevitably make some moves, and I don't know what the situation in Longshou Prefecture is now?" ”

Listening to this blunt change of topic, Su Yanyan remained silent, Qin Li covered his mouth and snickered, and both of them tacitly agreed not to fight.

Xia Jingyun was "angry" and flicked his sleeves, "Don't say it, I'm going to sleep!" ”

When he left, a soft snickerer was remembered on the deck, and Xia Jingyun, who got into the cabin, actually had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Their boat headed north, and a carrier pigeon also rowed leisurely across the sky and landed in the loft of the black ice platform.

The note marked top secret was quickly sent to the desk of the first Xuanhu, who translated the contents against the codebook and immediately walked towards the palace.

In the Qianyuan Palace, Xuanhu hurried over, "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Chongning's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there news?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is news from the direction of Liang County, the British Duke has broken the rebels!"

As he spoke, he handed over a fold, and Emperor Chongning opened it to see that it said that the British Duke had broken the rebels, and had successfully detained Xiao Fengshan and his three thousand soldiers and horses who had sent troops according to the edict, and escorted them back to Beijing, and now they are on the way to the class!

"Good!"

Emperor Chongning, who has always admired joy and anger, couldn't help but stand up, and immediately reacted, "The British Duke really lived up to my expectations and defeated this gang of traitors!" I have to let the world know that although the old military god is gone, my military power in Daxia has not dispersed! Under the thunderous blow, let those rebels weigh it well! ”

Gao Yi and Xuanhu both stood quietly, and after the old military god passed away, in less than ten days, news of rebellions from all over the country came one after another, and the twists and turns of the news flew into the center like snowflakes.

In the past, even some feudal officials did not dare to raise the anti-flag without permission, but now a random group of thieves dares to kill officials and rebel and erect a big banner.

Those ambitions that have been suppressed for decades are like poisonous snakes that wake up from hibernation, spitting letters coldly.

Those resentments that were intimidated, like crazy weeds, sprinkled joy wantonly in the corners where the imperial power could not be sprinkled.

Although His Majesty maintained great calm, on the one hand, he sent an edict to the border army to pay attention to preventing war on the frontier, and on the other hand, he ordered all states to organize on the spot, in order to protect the people and ensure the safety of the people, and to carry out effective crackdowns on the rebellion under the condition of curbing the spread of the rebellion. Such a move has won unanimous praise from the court, but after all, the beacons are everywhere, and it is still a great test for the country that has been peaceful for a long time.

Now, the most powerful rebel army has been defeated by the imperial army in a battle, the head of the thieves has been captured, and the army has returned to help, and there are more soldiers to recruit from all sides, which is a very happy thing from any point of view.

But Gao Yi and Xuanhu both understood that what made His Majesty happier and His Majesty more valued was the solution to Xiao Fengshan's henchman's trouble.

However, this is something that no one can say.

Emperor Chongning thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Xuanhu, "How is Xia Jingyun doing over there?" Any news? ”

Xuanhu shook his head, "There is no news for the time being, I only know that he has completely pacified the Cao Gang, if he learns the news of this, maybe he will set off for back." ”

Emperor Chongning thought for a while, "You asked someone to send him a message, asking him to go to Longshou Prefecture City first, help preside over the situation in Longshou Prefecture, and then return after the new Longshou Prefecture Pastor takes office." ”

"Yes!"

Emperor Chongning sat back in his seat and said with a smile: "You say, the British Duke has made such a special honor this time, how should I reward him?" ”

Gao Yi subconsciously raised his head in astonishment, and immediately lowered his head.

Xuanhu didn't dare to be silent, "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the British Duke must only be loyal to the country, not for the purpose of asking for a reward." ”

Emperor Chongning also knew that his words were a little inappropriate, so he smiled and waved his hand, "I will just say it casually, come back and ask the British Duke in person, see what reward he wants, I should reward him heavily." Alright, let's go down first! ”

Xuanhu silently retreated.

Emperor Chongning got up, walked to Bingjian, and said softly as if he was alerting himself: "Eat one bite at a time, come one by one, don't be in a hurry, don't panic." ”

As always, Gao Yi bowed his back slightly, hanging his hands and standing solemnly, like a wood sculpture that could not be heard or seen.

The next day, a horse rushed into the city of Zhongjing.

On horseback, the rider, who had been galloping for a day and a night, shouted all the way and rushed to Miyagi!

"Liang Jun's victory, the British Duke broke the rebels, captured the rebels, and quelled the rebellion!"

The sound of hooves faded away, and cheers rang out one after another.

In the city of Zhongjing, you can't see the fire of the four fields.
