There are two flowers, one on each branch.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, the imperial court here sent an army of 250,000 troops, all the way from the capital, all the way from Ningshan Mansion, to Chuzhou.

At the same time as the imperial court sent troops to set off, the Holy Father also arrived in Jinling for the first time from outside the city.

This day is the seventh day of the third month of the ninth year of Shenwu, and it has been seventeen days since the birthday banquet of the Nangong family, and Jinling City has all fallen into the hands of Manichaeism in these seventeen days, and the news of Jinling is that Manichaeism is invincible and invincible, and the whole Jinling is excited.

After Ning did not regret leaving, he did not return overnight, and Jiang Ning also guessed roughly after talking with the guards and Zhao Xing, who came once.

Lv Qinghou and Deng Yuanjue on the way to Jinling, was actually attacked by a sneak attack, although the sneak attacker was some swimming stragglers, but let Lv Qinghou suffer some hardships, as soon as the two arrived in Jinling, they quickly gathered the leaders in Jinling, ordered to rectify Jinling, to prepare for the arrival of the Holy Father in three days, and the two provinces of southern Zhejiang and northern Zhejiang are also attacking, more than half a month, less than ten days, it will be conquered, and then the two prefectures and twelve states are in Jiangzhou, where Jinling is located, I am afraid that the three prefectures and eighteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River will all be under Manichaeism.

If this is the case, then the power of Manichaeism is really too big, and in just over a month, it has taken the land of Sanzhou, which is also an existence that cannot be underestimated in ordinary times.

Lu Yutong lit a candle in Jiang Ning's room, the two of them have been eating together for a while recently, and the six people in the backyard looked at the two of them, but they were not afraid that they would run away.

"What you said is true?" Lu Yutong listened to what Jiang Ning said and slowly put down his chopsticks.

These days, she doesn't eat and drink as usual, and the level of consumption is still the highest standard, after all, she is now a captive, no matter how good the relationship with Ning Buregret is, it is impossible to enjoy the previous treatment, it is extremely rare to be able to have meat all of a sudden, and Lu Yutong has also lost a lot of weight in half a month.

When she listened to Jiang Ning's judgment, she was skeptical, because her source was only Jiang Ning, and Ning would not easily tell her outside information if she did not regret it, and she also knew the "importance" of Manichaeism as a whole.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "I'm not sure, but overall, the situation is not good, the imperial court will send troops sooner or later, and when the fish dies and the net is broken, you will be pushed to the front as a shield, and then the imperial court will be very passive, others can not care, but it will not sit back and ignore you." ”

"So I'm a burden to the court?" Lu Yutong pouted, buttoned her nails, but she was also quite helpless, she knew it, but she was helpless, after all, now she was in the enemy camp, if it weren't for the acquaintance with Ning Buregret, I was afraid that she would not be hungry and clothed now.

Jiang Ning also sighed slightly, looked at Lu Yutong who was cute and pitiful in the light, and said: "Not really, at least because of you, the imperial court will be a lot more cautious, and it is not a good thing for the people." ”

"No matter when the war is fought, the people are the most bitter, foreign invasions, siege of cities and territories, internal rebellions, overthrow and reconstruction, they are all stepping on the flesh and blood of the people, no matter how you fight, there must always be food, and it can only be the people who grow food, the court may put down this rebellion because you choose the smallest casualties, but it must be fast, if it is slow, it is not easy to say......" Jiang Ning suddenly hesitated for a moment.

Lu Yutong was puzzled: "Why? ”

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly: "Because...... Fang La is coming......"

"Fang La? Is it their Holy Father? Lu Yutong clenched his fist violently.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, it's him, he's here, it's not for inspection, it's from northern Zhejiang, maybe there are more important things......"

Historically, it was not in Jinling, which Jiang Ning knew well, but at this moment, what else could he do when he came to Jinling? Once it happens, then the attitude of the imperial court towards Manichaeism is not simply to quell the chaos, but to treat a regime.

Jiang Ning wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Yutong stopped talking, and the two sat like this until late at night, when Lu Yutong returned to the house in silence, leaning against the wall, his heart was numb. Jiang Ning was also quite helpless, and he also learned about Ning Buregret's life experience from Lu Yutong, although he didn't know that Ning Buregret, as a person from the Ningshan General's Mansion, would appear in the Sword Casting Villa and become the backbone of Manichaeism, according to time, the heart can achieve the position of the owner, in addition to the strong martial arts, there must be other reasons, such as master and apprentice, family, just like Cheng Jinyun, is the cottage left by the master, otherwise it is not enough to convince the public.

Ning Buregret took Zhao Xing to the front of the house, this place was originally the Taishou Mansion, after the Taishou abandoned the city and fled, it was operated as a temporary supreme authority, and now it has incorporated more than ten houses around, renovated it, and built a traditional palace covering an area of about five acres on the original two floors in the center of the Taishou Mansion.

Entered the house, walked straight along the white bricks, passed through the two pavilions, climbed the steps, entered the main hall with thirty-six steps, this hall is ten zhang high, it can be regarded as higher in Jinling City, standing on the top of the thirty-six steps, the rows of houses are in full view, the three directions of the entire Taishou Mansion can be seen in addition to the blocking.

It was already approaching dark, and the lights had already been turned on in the mansion and the hall, Ning Buregret looked at the palace, which was much more magnificent than the Ningshan General's Mansion, although it was much worse than the palace in Luoyang, but in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it was difficult to surpass the palace in front of him.

"Master Ning has arrived? Hehe, the military advisor and the marshal have arrived, waiting for the owner. A partial general at the door smiled and saluted towards Ning Buregret, and stretched out his hand to bring in Ning Buregret and Zhao Xing.

Ning Buregret arched his hand: "Don't dare, have you already arrived?" ”

"It's almost here, General Liu is also on the way......" As he was talking, he saw a man about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who had taken off his armor and was dressed in red, and a person behind him took a saber and walked straight over.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, General Liu can be regarded as ......" the man said, and he took two steps forward to greet him.

Ning Buregret glanced back, the person who came was Liu Yun, but Liu Yun didn't pay attention to the person who came to greet him, and walked straight to Ning Buregret: "Master Ning Zhuang has also arrived, it seems that I am not too late." ”

"It's not too late, it's just the right time." The man compounded.

Ning does not regret looking at this flattery, but also feels normal, in Ningshan, such people abound, Luoyang is even worse, and said to Liu Yun: "Wherever General Liu goes, he is invincible, Lianke Sanzhou, this time he returns to Jinling, and the Holy Father will be praised." ”

But I saw Liu Yun arching his hand into the air and said: "The Holy Father's grace is immense, and he can conquer the three states, all relying on the advice of the military advisors, and the Holy Father's strategy, I am just carrying out the order, what is the merit?" ”

Ning Buregret smiled and said: "General Liu is too modest, who doesn't know that General Liu waved 30,000 iron cavalry is comparable to 100,000 elite soldiers, merit is merit, and passing is passing, the Holy Father is clear, General Liu, please come in......"

Saying that, he actually gave way out, but this scene made Zhao Xingdu different, in terms of position, but Ning Buregret's position was higher, you must know that Ning Buregret the position of the owner, but he was on an equal footing with the marshal, and now he gave way to this little general, and he gladly accepted it, and walked before Ning Buregret.

Rao is in the limelight for a while, and he shouldn't be so unpopular.
