As he spoke, the street outside the teahouse suddenly became noisy.

Immediately after that, the sound of gongs and drums was heard.

He Xuanya said: "Is today a festival of the Huandou clan, how is there a commotion outside." ”

Liao Mi thought for a while and said, "Today is an ordinary day, and it's not a festival. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, put on his hat, and gently opened a small slit in the window facing the street, and peeked out.

We also walked over and looked downstairs.

I saw a guard of honor marching on the avenue blowing and waving flags, followed by rows of soldiers, and the officers and men were all imposing and acting neatly.

Liao Mi watched for a while, closed the window, sat down in place, and did not take off the hat, and shouted loudly: "Waiter guy, come here." ”

After a while, Xiao Er ran in and asked, "What do the guest officers have to say?" ”

Liao Mi lowered his head and asked, "Why is it so noisy outside, what is going on?"

Xiao Er said: "You still don't know, today is the day of the triumph of Danshui City, and the entire Chongshan City is celebrating." ”

Liao Mi stood up with a sigh of surprise and asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Er was so frightened by Liao Mi's actions that he took two steps back, and said hesitantly: "Outside, the triumphant division that is celebrating the victory of Danshui City outside, a few of you can also go downstairs to have a lively and lively life." ”

Liao Mi asked, "Danshui City is a great victory, who is the big victory?"

Xiao Er was asked for a while, and was stunned for a while before he said: "Of course it is a great victory for the imperial court, the rebels have suffered defeat, is it possible that it is a great victory for the rebels." After speaking, he quickly covered his mouth and looked left and right.

Liao Mi asked again: "That dragon ...... How is Akira Tatsumi?"

Xiao Er took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said, "You mean that rebel leader? I heard that he guarded Danshui City for three days and three nights, and after the city was broken, he personally led the team to fight hand-to-hand with Wang Shi, and finally fought until there was only one person left, and he did not surrender, and single-handedly killed hundreds of soldiers, and finally fell tired on the city, and no one dared to come forward to approach. He lay on the ground for a long time, then stood up again, and continued to fight with the officers and soldiers, wielding his knife two or three times, and hacking to death seven or eight more officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers had no choice but to shoot him to death by shooting arrows from under the city. After his death, he still supported the ground with a knife and stood tall. This matter has spread in the streets and alleys since the good news reached Chongshan three days ago, why don't you know it? ”

After Liao Mi heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he turned over and sat down in his seat with a blank face.

Seeing this, Xiao Er cautiously asked, "A few guest officers, do you have any other orders?"

Liao Mi sat expressionlessly and did not make a sound.

I said, "Okay, you go out first." ”

Xiao Er turned around and went out, and as soon as he closed the door, Liao Mi cried bitterly.

I can understand that General Shi is an ally of the Three Realms Ridge, and now that Danshui City has been broken and General Shi has died in battle, for the Three Realms Ridge, he will face the situation of fighting alone. With Chonggang's current strength, even if the Three Realms Ridge and Danshui City join forces, they are not sure of victory, and it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed by Chonggang with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Three Realms Ridge alone. As long as the Three Realms Ridge is captured, the entire Huandou clan will not have any power to stop Chonggang's usurpation, and the Huandou King will also be in danger. This is a huge blow to Liao Mi, who is loyal to King Huandou.

I comforted: "General Liao, don't be sad first, although Danshui City has been lost, there must be many loyal people like you in the Drought Tribe, and Chonggang's conspiracy is not so easy to succeed." ”

Liao Mi didn't respond to my words, he wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, "I thought that the old thief would not send troops to Danshui City so quickly, but who would have thought that as soon as we arrived here, the old thief would send troops." So I sneaked into the banquet building that night to find you, but I met acquaintances and was pestered by them until the next day. Early in the morning, he was sent out of the royal capital by the old thief. It was ten days to go. It was I who delayed the timing and killed General Long. ”

I said, "I can't blame you General Liao for this." It was Chonggang who acted too quickly. ”

He Xuanya said: "In my opinion, they have taken Danshui City, and they may be about to attack the Three Realms Ridge. ”

Liao Mi gritted his teeth and said, "So, tomorrow we must successfully hand over the things to the king." Liao, please. ”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down to us, but I grabbed him and said, "General Liao, don't do this, it's an honor for us to do something trivial for the Huandou clan." Do everything you can to help you achieve your goals. ”

Liao Mi took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to us. Even said please.

I took the letter and put it in my jacket pocket, but He Xuanya said, "Xiao Yuan, this letter can't be brought to King Huandou like this, we have to find a way to hide it." ”

At this time, Zhiyong stood up and babbled in his mouth while pointing to his mouth.

Zhiyong gestured for a long time before I understood, and asked, "Zhiyong, did you say that I hid the letter in your mouth?"

Zhiyong kept nodding.

The sailor said, "Won't the letter get wet in your mouth?"

Zhiyong pointed to the snakeskin enema on the table.

I immediately understood what Zhiyong meant, grabbed two snakeskin enemas and put them in my pocket, got up and said, "Okay, General Liao, you just came back from outside, hurry up and report to Chonggang, so as not to make him suspicious." Let's go back early to rest and go to the mountain early tomorrow morning. ”

After saying goodbye to Liao Mi, he went downstairs and went back to the banquet building.

The four of us went back to our respective rooms early that night.

I was about to go to bed when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

I thought that Liao Mi still had something to explain clearly, so I came to explain, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was not Liao Mi, but an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man.

I looked at the young man a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that it turned out to be the son of General Long.

I let the boy into the house and closed the door.

The boy crouched on the ground and began to cry.

I said, "We already know about Danshui City, General Long bravely resisted the enemy and sacrificed his life for morality, which is really admirable. Please mourn the change on the Major General's Day. I don't know why. ”

The young man knelt on the ground and said, "Long Xi knows that the dispute of the Huandou clan has nothing to do with you, and you should not be involved. But I was desperate to find this place, and begged for help. ”

I helped Long Xi up and said, "Look at your age, you are a few years older than me, I have to call you brother, I can't afford to kneel like this." But don't worry, although we were unfortunate enough to strayed into the realm of joy by chance, and we were just passers-by, we were deeply moved by the loyal deeds of General Long and others for the people of the people, and we also know which ones are righteous and which ones are evil. Supporting justice and eliminating evil should be what we should strive for, no matter where we are. The Major General has something we need to run for, albeit said. ”

Long Xi said: "Three days ago, Danshui City was about to be breached, and my father arranged for the general's family to be sent to the Three Realms Ridge. Some people persuaded his father to abandon the city and retreat to the Three Realms Ridge, and join forces with General Shi in order to fight again.

But my father was determined to hold on to the city. He said that if he abandoned the city and fled, the thieves would drive straight into and immediately attack the Three Realms Ridge, even if the forces of Danshui City and the Three Realms Ridge fought against the enemy together, the chance of victory was very small. It is better to hold on to Danshui City, Chonggang will inevitably attack the city with all his strength regardless of the cost, even if the city is broken in the end, it can also eliminate part of the main force of Chong's army, consume most of the supplies, so that Chonggang can not immediately send troops to the Three Realms Ridge, to buy time for General Liao's actions in the capital.

"Before my father went to the city to supervise the battle, he called me to him and asked me to sneak into Chongshan City secretly, find a way to find General Liao, and assist General Liao to complete the Duzhong operation together, and at the same time, I must be prepared with both hands, in case the operation fails, I must find other ways to bring down the old thief in Chonggang.

"When I was leaving, my father told me that when I arrived in the capital, I must first find someone. That person was the former Zuo General Chongyu. Father said that Chongyu was loyal to King Huandou and would never sit idly by and watch Chonggang do something rebellious, and he had a very high prestige in the army, and with him leading the opposition to Chonggang, there should be many followers.

"I hurried to Chongshan, but I couldn't find General Liao. There was really no way, so I remembered a few of you Wahuang people, and inquired all the way here.

"Now that the thief army has returned, Chonggang knows that I have escaped from the city, and he will definitely search everywhere, so I can't go to find the old general Chongyu openly. I also asked a few people to help me walk around the city to find the whereabouts of the old general Chongyu. ”

I said: "Chongyu turned out to be a dignified general Zuo, a very popular minister, although he was later degraded because of his mistakes, his reputation was broadcast all over the country, it should not be difficult to find him, but I just don't know if he still lives in Chongshan City." ”

Long Xi said: "You don't know anything. Since the old general Chongyu was defeated and captured, the king exempted him from capital and demoted to a concubine, he disappeared from people's sight. According to the results of his father's investigation, the old general Chongyu is indeed still in Chongshan City, but there is no clue where he lives. So for a few of them, it's a big challenge, and it's not an easy task. ”

I said, "Don't worry, young general, when we go to the mountain early tomorrow morning and deliver the secret letter to King Huandou, we will go all out to find Chongyu." ”

Long Xi knelt on the ground again, clasped his fists at each other, and said: "Long Xi has thanked a few people first, a few of the great kindness to my Huandou clan, my clan will never forget, Long Xi is even more grateful to Dade, and will always remember it in my heart." ”

I picked up Long Xi and said, "The young general doesn't have to be polite. From now on, you won't go anywhere, stay in my room for the time being, and I'll go and squeeze with the sailors. ”

Long Xi said: "No, I won't disturb you, so as not to affect everyone, I'd better find another place to hide." I took my leave. As he spoke, he was about to go out.

I grabbed him and said, "Now that a net has been laid outside, you can only throw yourself into the net when you go out." Just stay in this room. ”

I opened the door and walked out.

Long Xi was about to say something, I slammed the door shut and walked towards the sailor's room.
