Inside the Dingzhou Prefecture.

Tang Ming was pacing back and forth in the conference hall, his face cloudy.

"The assembly place of the Xuan Crow Army is the outskirts of my Dingzhou Prefecture. What the hell is going on? The prince has not heard from him since he left, could it be that he has made some secret visits in the past few days?"

Speaking of which, after Huo Wang left Tang Ming's mansion, he seemed to be fine. Unexpectedly, my inactive attitude was afraid that I would be in big trouble at this time.

If he sent someone out to look for a circle with great fanfare at that time, even if he still disappeared, but in the end, the prince scolded him, at least there was an excuse, right? Now it's good, he doesn't ask or do anything, if the prince wants to do it, this is an excellent reason.

In just such a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed in Tang Ming's heart.

He was like standing in the autumn woods, watching the wind sweep the leaves, and his eyes were tearing and trying to pick a magic trick from it and make a good move.

Suddenly, Tang Ming had an idea in his heart that scared him.

"Or ...... Is it the other way around?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little crazy. Running madly to the map of Dingzhou, carefully scrutinizing, the staggering of various forces in his mind has begun to build.

"Father!"

Tang Zhongsong shouted.

This father really broke through the sky with one stone, and pulled Tang Ming's thoughts back to reality.

He patted his head, thinking that he was also a person who had experienced a lot of winds and waves, and he didn't understand why Fang Cai was so stunned.

"What's the matter with Song'er?"

Tang Ming asked absentmindedly.

I thought, if it weren't for your mother and son, for the safety of the family. My life has long been sacrificed to fight for it, how can I live so trembling and walking on thin ice.

"Father, you can't go against it!"

The pine words in the soup are amazing.

"Smack!"

The teacup in Tang Ming's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

His eyes widened and he stared straight at Tang Zhongsong, his mouth half-open, his Adam's apple squirming up and down.

If it weren't his own son, he would have become a corpse lying on the ground.

"Although he Huo Wang summoned the Xuan Crow Army, it doesn't mean that he is coming for our Dingzhou Mansion and our Tang family. Even though Huo Wang has a long-standing grudge against his father, as long as the trouble of wolf riding is not extinguished, our Tang family will be able to be stable for a day. Up to now, the Tang family and Dingzhou are grasshoppers on the same thread, and they can't distinguish each other at all. Except for you, father, who has such a high prestige among the people in the army in Dingzhou? The governor of the prefecture, He Youjian, and the government commander and others were all cultivated and promoted by you, although the situation has changed and the people's hearts are not ancient, but they are also stronger than outsiders. What's more, they and their father, and our Tang family, are close to each other, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and there is no choice. Could it be that he hopes that after we are raided and exterminated, he will not be able to confiscate his He Youjian's military power?"

Tang Zhongsong said seriously.

Tang Ming's eyes were a little moist.

When Yu Zhongsong came back from injury, the doubts in his heart seemed to be slowly unraveling.

"If Huo Wang uses a counter-plan, we don't need to be afraid of Xu Heyou as the new state commander. ”

As he spoke, Tang Zhongsong took out several letters from his arms.

"It's ......"

Tang Ming was a little puzzled.

Tang Zhongsong opened a letter, and the title was written by He Youjian to a person named 'Gongzi', and the content of the letter turned out to be perfunctory and prevaricated to investigate Liu Ruiying's investigation of the border frontline.

Open another one, it is a reply letter written by 'Gongzi' to He Youjian, the content is about the retreat from Jiying Town, among the ordinary people, there are several top masters hidden, let them strictly monitor this, especially one of the girls named Li Yun, who was the Oiran of Xiangteng Inn in Jiying Town.

At the bottom right of the letter, the place where the signature should have been signed was replaced by a party seal.

"The prince of the Liuguang Pavilion has his own seal. ”

The eight characters printed on it are even more strange and mysterious against the backdrop of cinnabar ink.

"That's right, father. I am the owner of the Liuguang Pavilion, the son in their mouth, and the actual planner of the Dingxi Tonglan incident. ”

Before Tang Ming could react, Tang Zhongsong continued.

"I've been hiding my clumsy before. Including the so-called repayment of gambling debts from the account, the loss of the store's silver, etc., are actually used by me to secretly develop the Liuguang Pavilion. ”

Tang Ming, a veteran on the battlefield, couldn't hold back this old tear after all.

He measured his body slightly, not wanting his son to see this scene.

Holding the corner of the table with his right hand, he trembled slightly. This is the right hand that can wield the Three Pavilions Jagged Hook and Knife, and Yu Wanjun slashed the right hand of the Moon Swallowing Minister.

Tang Ming recalled that when his son was born, he placed all his expectations on him.

But later, his wife was arrogant and doting, and his son was lazy, so that his full expectation was wiped out little by little.

Now, seeing his son so successful, how can he not be sad and happy for a while?

He is pleased that his son not only has an accurate control of the current situation in Dingzhou, but also can make such a macro layout for the entire Dingxi Royal Domain. This time alone, taking the opportunity of Li Yun to reveal Yuntai's swordsmanship, Huo Wangdu, the king of Dingxi, can be said to be a genius of gods and ghosts.

What he was sad about was that his son had been clumsy since he was a child, risking the world's disapproval, the name of being bad, and his many reproaches and corporal punishment as a father, he didn't even have a trace of resentment. Instead, he still tried his best to choose life and death for himself and the entire Tang family, and seek survival. This time, he did not hesitate to set an example and self-destruct, how could he not let himself be moved as a father?

Who is the opponent of Dingxi Fengyun?

"Then what do you think is the plan for now, how should you choose?"

Tang Zhongsong stabilized his emotions and asked.

"I think my father should repair a herald to He Youjian, let him mess up, seduce the wolf riders to attack in a big way, and then pretend to be invincible and retreat a hundred miles. The five border towns were completely ceded to the Grassland Royal Court. ”

Tang Ming smiled bitterly when he heard this, how could he not know that this move was the only way to break the situation?

The Prairie Royal Court, the big tent of Zuolu.

Zuo Lu was almost angry at this account.

Judging by the way this person is dressed, he doesn't look like a person in the grassland.

"Go back and tell He Youjian! If the gold and silver, famous horses and beauties that have been agreed upon are not sent to my Zuolu, then don't blame me for not keeping the agreement! General Ben's 400,000 wolf riders are waiting for him!"

The people under the account did not dare to refute in the slightest, so they could only confess again and again, and at the same time promise that they will be delivered as soon as possible.

Proudly walked off the stage and came to this person's side.

With a scimitar in his hand, he suddenly struck and cut off one of his left ears.

The man let out a scream and fainted in pain.

"Hmph, it's really unproductive...... Put him in a sack and throw him in front of He Youjian's barracks. ”

Angran said after rubbing the blood stains on the scimitar off his body.

Then he kicked the ears of the ground into the campfire inside the tent, and the smell of meat suddenly filled the air.

Dingxi Wangcheng.

Zhang Xuejiu didn't expect that there would be such a master in Huo Wang's Xuan Crow Army, and he was even more determined to enter the city.

Thirty-five years have passed since the last time the Lord of the Mountains sent his people to travel.

This time it was the turn of the mountains of the Dingxi Domain.

Count the time, he should also come.

After Zhang Xuexue entered the city, he first walked in the ordinary alleys in the city.

It's just that his sloppy dress is hard to be treated like.

In the end, I only found a small stall and ate two taels of somen noodles.

When he saw the dilapidated courtyard of the Dingxi Palace, he couldn't help but be shocked. When I asked around, everyone was vague and refused to speak, so I had to give up.

Zhang Xuejiu saw that the fracture of the courtyard was extremely irregular, as if it had been destroyed by brute force. Compared with the person he had in mind, he found that it did not match, so he stopped meddling.

Although he had lived in seclusion in the Dingxi Royal Domain for so many years, this was the third time he had entered the royal city.

The first time was when he first entered the Dingxi Royal Domain, he stopped in the royal city to think about the road ahead.

The second time was from Jiying Town, where he picked up the brushes and paperweights that had been custom-made before.

Now, it's the third time.

"Little second brother, may I ask if there are any strange people in the king city in the past few days?"

Zhang Xuezhu walked to a teahouse, sat down and asked.

"This old gentleman, this is one of the best teahouses in the royal city, and it is not a place to inquire about right and wrong. ”

Xiao Er had a cold attitude and said calmly.

Zhang Xuezhu looked at his clothes, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He pulled a cloth bag out of his bosom and threw it on the table.

"Bang dang!"

There seemed to be a lot of heavy objects in the cloth bag, and it made a loud noise when it came into contact with the tea table.

Xiao Er picked up the cloth bag, weighed it slightly in his hand, and immediately changed his face.

"Sit down and serve tea!"

Xiao Er shouted at the rear.

"I see that the old gentleman is from out of town, then you have found the right person! Our teahouse, there are many people coming and going every day, and most of them will talk about a few strange things. I wonder what you're asking?"

Xiao Er said flatteringly, and his previously straight back was now arched like a big prawn.

"What's going on in the palace court?"

Zhang Xuezhi asked.

"Oh, you see? That's the first time that our Dingxi King City has opened the world! It is said that it is an old man, with a little fart, so he tossed around for no reason, and fought with the Xuan Crow Army!"

At this point, he stopped abruptly. His eyes kept glancing at the bag.

Zhang Xueji willingly took out a silver ingot from it and threw it to him.

"There is a Xuan Crow Army to make a move, this old and young are invincible, and they were soon taken down and brought into the mansion, and I don't know where to do it in the back. ”

Seeing that the silver was in hand, Xiao Er finished the words that he had put in his mouth the second half.

"Then why did the Xuan Crow Army gather out of the city?"

Zhang Xuezhi threw away another ingot of silver, but this time the little second brother did not accept it again.

"Old man, if you are here from other places, you will know everything about the rarity of the royal city, and you will know everything about strange people and strange things. But if it is about the palace or the Xuan Crow Army, then it can only be forgiven. ”

Zhang Xuejiu still wanted to ask something, but Xiao Er had already turned around and left to serve others.

Zhang Xuejiu was a little emotional, but he didn't expect the prestige of Huo Wang and the Xuan Crow Army to be so high. is so high that a young man who sees money is evasive.

He couldn't help but think of the days when he used to live in Jiying Town. I thought of my own stall next to the Xiangteng Inn, and remembered the little second brother who often gave himself credit and knew that he was the same.
