At the junction of the eastern part of the Xi Kingdom and the Lan Kingdom, there is a flat land that cannot be seen at a glance.

It is perennially barren and the land is dry, with only a huge boundary marker separating the two countries.

However, a few months ago, the Lan people stepped through the land and planted their flag on the territory of the Xi State.

Now this area is full of soldiers and tents of the Lan Kingdom.

Shangguan Qi was looking at the sand table in his camp tent at this time.

Standing next to him were his lieutenants and his subordinates.

Shangguan Qi has a square face, thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, a rough body, and very developed muscles all over his body.

He is Shangguan Lan's older brother.

Shangguan Lan was cultivated as a fine worker as soon as he was born, and he was brought to Xi Guo since he was a child, and he has sent a lot of information about Xi Guo to Lan Guo over the years.

Shangguan Qi vaguely remembered the scene when he sent Shangguan Lan to Xi Guo many years ago.

His younger brother is a well-known handsome man in Lan Kingdom, and his smiling face has fascinated many Lan women.

"Be careful." He said to Shangguan Lan.

"I will, brother, come back this time, and it's completely over." Shangguan Lan said.

"Brother is waiting for you to come home." He hugged Shangguan Lan.

"Hmm!" Shangguan Lan hugged Shangguan Qi back.

But Shangguan Qi never expected that this would be the last time the two would see each other in their lives.

Goodbye, Shangguan Lan is already just a handful of ashes.

The other party also gave him a letter of despair.

The cause and effect of the incident are written in detail, including the changes of Shen Qi and Fang Jixiang's rebellion.

However, at that time, he couldn't take revenge on the spot.

So he endured it until now, and then poured all his anger on Xi Guo.

In Shangguan Qi's view, the ten cities of Xi State now are just an explanation for Shangguan Lan's death.

He doesn't just want ten cities, he wants to go straight to the palace of Xiguo!

This is not enough.

Shangguan Qi stared at the current situation of the two armies on the sand table and did not speak for a long time.

He wants to level the entire Xi Kingdom, and the only breakthrough point for the geographical location of the Lan Kingdom is Xi Dong.

But Xidong is unbreakable with the Tang family.

So no matter what, the Tang family must be destroyed first.

Now he's halfway there.

First Tang Zongheng, then Tang Zongjiu!

None of them can escape.

"Did the Tang family find it?" Shangguan Qi asked.

"Still looking." One of the lieutenants said, "The only thing that is certain is that it is not in the city we occupy. ”

"Don't worry," Shangguan Qi hooked his eyes and looked out of the tent, "As long as Tang Zongheng is in our hands, I don't believe they will come." ”

At that moment, a voice suddenly appeared outside the tent.

"Report ——! Oh no! Tang Zongheng was poisoned and is now half dead! ”

Shangguan Qi raised his head suddenly: "What are you talking about!" ”

"General, Tang Zongheng is going to die!" The person who came said in a hurry.

"Go and call me all the doctors in the camp!" Shangguan Qi grabbed the adjutant on the side and said, "Bring the surname Wu over again." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and ran out as fast as he could.

After speaking, Shangguan Qi quickly left the camp tent and walked towards the cage where Tang Zongheng was imprisoned.

The Lan people treat captives with a special kind of cage.

This kind of cage is used to hold fierce beasts, and there are spikes in the front and back of the cage, and the people who are locked in it can only sit in it, even if they are resting.

Normal people can't survive for seven days.

And Tang Zongheng has been locked up here for more than a month.

During this time, Tang Zongheng was tortured to the point that he was not human, but Shangguan Qi was stunned and couldn't pry a word out of his mouth.

Shangguan Qi was tired himself, so he asked others to continue, even if Tang Zongheng didn't say a word, just looking at his painful and forbearant expression was good.

Not being able to directly cut off Tang Zongheng's head was Shangguan Qi's biggest regret.

The emperor's order is hard to disobey.

Therefore, Shangguan Qi only abused Tang Zongheng, but never thought that Tang Zongheng would die.

He can't afford it.

Shangguan Qi quickly came to Tang Zongheng's cage.

I saw Tang Zongjiu curled up and collapsed in the cage, foaming at the mouth, his eyes were closed, and his whole body was motionless.

"Do you think it's useful for you to play dead?" Shangguan Qi's tone was a little angry, "I didn't expect the general of the dignified Tang family army to still play this game." Don't you want to know about your parents? ”

Tang Zongheng didn't react at all.

Shangguan Qi glanced at the people around him.

The people around him understood, took out the handle of the knife, and poked it at Tang Zongjiu a few times.

Tang Zongheng couldn't help but touch the spikes on the side, but in the sight of so many people, he still didn't react.

Shangguan Qi's face sank to the bottom.

If Tang Zongheng died at this time and affected the emperor's plan, then his responsibility would be greater.

"Where's the doctor?!" Shangguan Qi shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The adjutant on the side hurriedly ran over, followed by the doctors of Lan Guo.

"Show me! If he doesn't wake up, you'll all be buried with him!" Shangguan Qi said fiercely.

"Yes! Be! The doctors responded, lowered their bodies, and began to check.

But the gap between the bars of the cage was too small for a man's hand to get into, and the doctors could only try to start observing from the outside.

Shangguan Lan frowned, and finally ordered: "Open the cage for me!" ”

After speaking, the soldiers of the Lan Kingdom were ready one by one, and the big swords in their hands were aimed at Tang Zongheng from all directions.

One of them stepped forward, holding the key in his hand, and dropped the lock on the ground once because he was too nervous to open it.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! Spare your life! The soldier opened the cage before Shangguan Qi dropped him.

The moment the cage opened, the other soldiers who were ready raised their weapons at the same time and stepped forward.

However, after a breath, Tang Zongheng still did not react.

"Damn." Shangguan Qi scolded, "Why are you still stunned?!" Hurry up and save me! ”

The doctors immediately lay Tang down vertically and horizontally, taking the pulse of the pulse, rolling the eyelids, and pulling the neck of the neck.

Shangguan Qi looked around.

The big position where his camp was located was on the border and belonged to the Lan Kingdom.

There is no end here, and the captives of Xi are all Lan people.

There are Lan soldiers patrolling every fixed time, and they will not let go of any place.

The entire position can be said to be leakless, and even a fly from Xi Guo can't fly in.

Tang Zongheng's cage is specially guarded, twelve hours a day, and someone is watching all the time.

And the people who are staring at Tang Zongheng are all captain-level generals, as long as there is a little wind and grass, they can take the latter in a short period of time.

Therefore, regardless of the Tang family, they are completely ready to give up Tang Zongheng.

Who was it, and what method was used to put this poison into Tang Zongheng's mouth.

What Shangguan Qi didn't know was that in front of everyone's eyes, there was a cockroach squirming through the tents of the Lan Kingdom, taking light steps, all the way out of the Lan State position, crossing the entire border line, and coming to a small forest that originally belonged to the border of the Xi State.

Eventually, it crawled up next to a pair of children's shoes, flipped its belly over, and died.
