Duan Qing was surprised, and didn't react for a while. Seeing this, Peng Yong hurriedly reminded softly: "You should be called Father." ”

Duan Qing was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Tell my father, I think the marriage contract is established, and the matter of the marriage should be talked about later." After I finished my study tour, I came to marry the jade girl. If the parents are alive at home, they also need to inform them in advance. ”

But the king of earth said unhappily, "What is more important than such a big thing as starting a family? Your parents are at home, this is simple, just send someone to invite them immediately. ”

Duan Qing hurriedly said: "Father, Dali is far away from here, and my parents are old, so it is inconvenient to travel far. When I left home, I vowed not to get married until I completed my study tour. I ask for your understanding. ”

Seeing Duan Qing's firm attitude, Hongjun said, "In that case, Father, it's not too late to talk about the marriage later." I believe he will not be treacherous. Xianggong, don't you say? ”

Duan Qing's face turned crimson, extremely embarrassed. I had to say: "Father and Hongjun don't dislike it, it's my blessing, how dare you lose it." At this time, everyone came over to congratulate Duan Qing.

The king of the earth immediately ordered a feast to celebrate the happy event. Duan Qing was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what to do in the future. At this moment, Duan Qing had no choice but to force his face, and everyone dispersed happily.

In the past few days, Hongjun and Duan Qing's ears have been grinding and relying on each other hand in hand, and their relationship is increasing day by day. Duan Qing saw that the wood was already in the boat, so he could only take advantage of the situation.

Duan Qing saw that the Tu King was also very busy these days, so he asked Hongjun, "Has my father encountered any major events recently?" So busy. ”

Hongjun said: "There is a big deal. A traitor who had been destroyed in the past is now resurrecting himself and is gathering strength in an attempt to make a comeback. Father is trying to find a way to catch them all. ”

Duan Qing hurriedly asked who it was, and Hongjun said that it was a person named Wu Long, who was specifically against the Earth King. When Duan Qing heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

It turned out that Wu Long once went to Dali to do business, and he met Duan Qing unexpectedly. The two hit it off at first sight, fell in love very closely, and became very good friends. Duan Qing came to Xiangxi this time, and he also wanted to visit Wu Long by the way.

Duan Qing is now the son-in-law of the Earth King, so he naturally wants to resolve the conflict between them. Duan Qing knew that the strength of the Earth King was strong, and Wu Long was definitely not an opponent.

Duan Qing thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't we go and see if we can help?" ”

Hongjun is immersed in love at the moment, how can he bother to care about these idle things. She pursed her mouth and said, "Why are you going to listen to those things that are fighting and killing?" It's so scenic! ”

Duan Qing hurriedly laughed and said, "As my future son-in-law, shouldn't I also do my best?" Otherwise, people will think you are married to an incompetent waste! ”

Hongjun's face sank and said, "Hmph, who dares!" But if you have this heart, my father must know about it and be very happy. Let's go. The two of them came to the main hall, and everyone happened to be discussing the military situation.

Peng Yong quipped: "You don't want to be a concubine, why are you here?" ”

Hongjun said with a smile on his face: "Big brother knows how to make fun of my sister." It was he who wanted to come over and see if he could help! ”

Tuwang Daxi said: "It's rare that Qing'er has this thought, so let's discuss it together." "They are planning to exterminate Wu Long. They had received news that Wu Long had gathered about 5,000 men and horses at Longshan and might attack at any time.

The Tuwang has mobilized an army of 20,000 and is ready to set off in four ways overnight. He expected to arrive at Longshan tomorrow evening, and surround them at dawn the day after. The king of earth can annihilate Wu Long and the others in one fell swoop and completely eliminate hidden dangers.

Duan Qing saw that they were well-arranged, had detailed plans, and had an absolute advantage in strength. If this is the case, Wu Long and the others will probably be caught off guard, and they will only be beaten and destroyed.

After the earth king finished discussing with everyone, seeing that Duan Qing had not spoken, he knew that although he was strong in martial arts and very young, it was understandable that he was not familiar with these battle formations. The earth king then asked Duan Qing and Hongjun to go back, saying that if necessary, he would inform them again.

After coming back, Duan Qing waited for Hongjun to leave, and then left a letter to Hongjun, saying that he was going to save a friend and would return in a few days. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, he hurriedly rode out of the palace and went straight to Longshan.

Not long after Duan Qing left the palace, Hongjun came back to look for him, but he didn't see anyone, only found the letter he left. After reading it, Hongjun felt inexplicable and hurried to find Peng Chang.

Hongjun asked Peng Chang urgently: "Brother Chang, who is he going to save?" Don't tell me directly. You are his sworn brother, does he have any friends here? ”

Peng Chang thought for a moment and said, "He shouldn't have any relatives and friends here." As far as I know, he grew up in Dali and rarely left there. In the last few months, I have only come out to study. ”

Hongjun saw that Peng Chang didn't know what was going on, so he had to hurriedly run to find the Earth King. Peng Chang was also worried that something would happen, so he also followed.

After hearing this, the earth king pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Peng Yong said suddenly: "Could it be that he is a spy sent by Wu Long?" He heard our plan of action, so he ran to tell Wu Long. ”

Hongjun and Peng Chang said in unison: "Impossible. How could he be a spy! How could he know Wu Long? We never heard him say it. ”

Peng Yong said: "Grandpa Tai was the son-in-law of the Wu family back then, and he defeated the Wu family. Duan Qing may be following the example of Grandpa. ”

Hongjun said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! If he was a spy, he would have killed his father sooner. When the king saw them arguing, he hurriedly told them to shut up.

The king of the earth asked Peng Changdao: "He is your eldest brother, then you can talk about it." ”

Peng Chang said firmly: "He is definitely not a spy, I only met him in Dali." He has never been to Xiangxi, how can he have anything to do with Wu Long? ”

The king of the earth said puzzledly: "He has never been to Xiangxi, so he has no acquaintances in Xiangxi, who is he going to save?" No one has come to him today. ”

At this moment, the guard at the door came to report: "The new aunt went out an hour ago, asked the way to Longshan, and went in the direction of Longshan. ”

The earth king sighed after a pause and said, "It seems that he is really a spy. Yong'er, you immediately inform the other generals that the news has leaked. Tonight's operation was changed to immediate departure. Duan Qing was not familiar with the road, so he had to ask while walking, and the speed would not be very fast. Our army tried to get ahead of him as much as possible. Yong'er set off first, and his father came later. Peng Yong received the order and set off immediately.

Hongjun still refused to believe it, so he said: "Father, I will go with you, if he is really a spy, I will kill him with my own hands." ”

Seeing Hongjun's resolute attitude, the king of the earth had no choice but to agree. When Peng Chang saw this, he said that he wanted to go home, and he wanted to go back to tell his grandfather Peng Yu. When the king saw that he was fine to stay here, he agreed to let him go back.

Here, the king of the earth arranged for men and horses to set off one after another. At the same time, after Duan Qing got out of Xicheng, he galloped towards Longshan. Duan Qing asked as he walked, but he still took a wrong path on the way, and finally arrived at Longshan before the evening of the next day. As soon as Duan Qing arrived at the foot of the mountain, dozens of people rushed out of the woods and surrounded him.

A man shouted, "Who are you?" What are you going to sit here? Duan Qing saw that they were holding big swords and spears, and they were probably Wu Long's subordinates.

Duan Qing hurriedly said: "I'm here to find Uncle Wu Long, please take me to see him quickly, I have important news to tell him." The leader of them took a closer look and shouted, "Duan Gongzi, why are you?" ”

It turned out that this person had followed Wu Long to Dali, so he knew Duan Qing. He hurriedly took Duan Qing to the mountain and went to Wu Long's residence.

Wu Long was also surprised when he saw Duan Qing, so he asked, "Duan Gongzi, why did you come here?" ”

Duan Qing didn't have time to elaborate, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Wu, let's not talk about this first. Hurry up and leave this place, the army of the earth king is about to arrive. ”

Wu Long sighed and said, "Childe, it's too late." ”

Duan Qing was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wu Long said: "We have received news that the army of the Tuwang is coming in four ways, and our way out has been sealed. Although they are still more than ten miles away from Longshan now, it is estimated that they will arrive in two or three hours. ”

Duan Qing was shocked, thinking that it seemed that they had found out that they were missing, so they acted in advance. Duan Qing hurriedly asked, "In that case, why don't you leave quickly?" ”

Wu Long said helplessly: "Among the thousands of people here, there are many old and weak women and children, even if they leave now, they can't go far. At that time, if they catch up, they will only be able to wait for death. However, the terrain here is dangerous, so you can defend it according to the danger, and you can hold on for some time. ”

While the two were talking, Wu Long's son Wu Chang walked in. At the beginning, Wu Chang also went to Dali and had several relationships with Duan Qing. When he saw Duan Qing, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. Wu Chang said: "Father, this time the situation is so critical, please ask your father to leave now, and the child will resist for a while." ”

Wu Long said: "Chang'er, where else can we go, let's settle with them here." Even if we die, we will have to pay a terrible price for Penryn. ”

Wu Long said to Duan Qing again: "After a while, this place will be surrounded by groups. Childe's martial arts are outstanding, and if he leaves right now, he will definitely be able to get out of danger. ”

Duan Qing said unhappily: "Who does Uncle Wu think of me?" Under nature with you. How is it possible to escape alone? ”

Wu Chang persuaded: "Gongzi is not from our Xiangxi, so there is no need to accompany us into danger." ”

Duan Qing shook his head and said, "Don't say it, you two, I won't leave my friends and run away, I will definitely fight with you." Don't talk nonsense, let's hurry up and set it up! ”

Seeing that Duan Qing refused to leave, the two were very moved, so they stopped persuading. The three of them came out together and walked around the mountain with several main leaders, and Wu Long arranged the defense as he walked. Duan Qing saw many old and weak people living in thatched huts in the mountains along the road, presumably all of them were family members of the Wulong tribe. He saw that this mountain was surrounded by cliffs on both sides, and that one side was facing water, and that it was indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Only the mountain road due east is also steep, but the terrain is open, and it is the most vulnerable to attack, and it is also the mountain road when Duan Qing came up. Wu Long made key arrangements here and set up three lines of defense. Wu Long's arrangements are clear and appropriate, Duan Qing has also learned the art of war, battle formations, offensive and defensive strategies, but they are all on paper, and he is on the ground at this moment, and he admires Wu Long very much.
