Another official with some prestige died tragically on the way to escape Yanjing City, and the culprit of all this was Xia Chunqiu.

The festival of thousands of families has passed, although Xia Chunqiu is not so exaggerated, but he is starting to take his own steps step by step, encroaching on the surrounding forces little by little, and paving the way for what he is planning.

And when Huang Huai returned to his residence with dried blood stains on his body after another massacre, the appearance of an unfamiliar figure made him look sideways slightly.

After returning to Tanglin from Taiwu, after truthfully reporting everything that should be reported to Xia Chunqiu, Ran Kai, who had recovered from his injuries, left Tanglin again and came all the way to Yanjing.

Knowing that he is so unshy about killing innocents, even if he wants to continue to develop his power slowly after the year, Song Heng will definitely take a shot at himself first, Xia Chunqiu also decided to take the first step and strike first, and knew the importance of Yanjing, so he asked Ran Kai to go to Yanjing and hold Yanjing with Huang Huai.

Although Ran Kai only went to Yanjing alone, after Ran Kai left, there were already 30,000 troops quietly approaching Bianjing City after receiving Xia Chunqiu's order.

Yanjing's status is too extraordinary, and it is definitely not something that can be done overnight if you want to take it in, so Xia Chunqiu decided to put the main force in Bianjing first, and then use Bianjing as a base to start oppressing and encroaching on Yanjing little by little.

"General Huang, such a mess, and slaughtered that humble official again?"

Knowing Huang Huai's main task in Yanjing, after seeing the mess on his body at this time, Ran Kai also said with interest, but there was some joking in his tone.

Ran Kai and Huang Huai have not known each other for a long time, although they are both the two sharp weapons under Xia Chunqiu, but the relationship between the two is not good, but after a short period of contact, the two who know that each other's abilities are not trivial on the surface are lukewarm, but they have respect for each other in their hearts.

But if you really want to say it, the awe in Ran Kai's heart is even stronger.

Compared with Ran Kai, the respect in Huang Huai's heart is not so strong, and Huang Huai is more hostile and even murderous to Ran Kai!

After having a general understanding of Ran Kai's outstanding military ability, and knowing that he would shine in the future battles and become a great weapon in Xia Chunqiu's hands, Huang Huai had already had murderous intentions towards him!

The reason why he wanted to kill Ran Kai was because Huang Huai knew that with Ran Kai's ability, once the battle broke out, it would not only make the army of Chang'an jealous, but also threaten the prince of the western region, and even suffer a big defeat!

After not having any good intentions towards Ran Kai in his heart, seeing his funny smile, he could probably figure out Xia Chunqiu's intention when he asked him to come here, and went to the house with a calm face.

However, after seeing Ran Kai's empty sleeve, Huang Huai also flashed a touch of surprise in his heart.

"General Huang, don't you have anything to know about what happened in Taiwu this time? If you open your mouth, I can tell you all the hardships, after all, I am also the one who participated in the whole battle. ”

Seeing the person who was not interested in himself at all and was about to leave in silence, Ran Kai said again with a deep meaning.

As one of Xia Chunqiu's henchmen, Ran Kai also knew Huang Huai's origin, and also knew that the current Huang Huai was quite a bit in the summer camp and in Han, so he used Chen Xikang to attract Huang Huai's attention.

For Huang Huai, although it has been seen from the many tasks he has completed that he has outstanding abilities, Ran Kai still has a great curiosity about him.

What Ran Kai was curious about was how could Huang Huai be able to become an important talent in the hands of King Xia in such an identity.

When he was about to clean up the blood stains on his body, after hearing Ran Kai's words, Huang Huai really stopped moving forward, turned around, and looked at Ran Kai behind him with serious eyes.

After the earth-shattering battle outside Qin Wu City, the traces of the prince disappeared cleanly, not only did the intelligence network he had not find the whereabouts of the prince, but even the Lishanwei of the king of Xia did not collect the slightest news about the traces of the prince, Ran Kai, as a member of the battle, was very clear about the incident, and he might be able to get some useful information from Ran Kai.

After having such a thought in his heart, Huang Huai, who originally planned to ignore Ran Kai, didn't bother to tidy up the clothes on his body, but turned around and left with him.

Although he was curious about the details of what happened in Taiwu and left with Ran Kai, Huang Huai, who was sitting at the same table with Ran Kai at this time, was still silent, just quietly listening to Ran Kai's narration.

Knowing from King Xia that although Huang Huai was still loyal to the prince of the western region, he was indeed doing things for King Xia seriously, and Ran Kai also told everything that happened without concealment, including Lao Jin's death and Chen Xikang's serious injury.

After a long time, when Ran Kai's mouth was dry because of talking for a long time and he stopped to drink water, Huang Huai, who had not spoken, finally spoke in a calm voice: "After Lao Jin died in battle, did the 10,000 troops brought by Prince Taiwu retreat?"

After speculating in his heart, Huang Huai asked what he thought in his heart, because the existence of an army of 10,000 was a huge threat to the departure or stay of the prince.

"You are too worried, although the person we besieged and killed this time was the prince of the Western Regions, but Taiwu had a wait-and-see attitude from beginning to end, and did not intend to intervene, otherwise you think that a few of us would dare to run to other people's territory and make trouble in front of people like Chun Yu Jinge and Wu Zibo?"

After understanding the intention behind Huang Huai's question, he drank some water to make his mouth not so dry, and Ran Kai continued to speak.

At the end of the battle, although the army brought by Prince Taiwu did not leave immediately, it would never do anything to the seriously injured prince of the western region, because what the prince of the western region represented behind was the entire western region!

The world will be chaotic, Taiwu will never be left alone, if the entire west is offended because of temporary interests, Taiwu will definitely not want to see it!

"By the way, speaking of which, I think of an interesting thing. When Huang Huai fell into contemplation again because of Ran Kai's words, Ran Kai spoke again with great interest.

When his attention was shifted, after seeing the funny smile on the face of the person in front of him, although Xia Chunqiu did not speak, Huang Huai cast a questioning look at him.

"When I was investigating the intelligence of the prince of the Western Regions in Taiwu, I collected some interesting and inaccurate information. Reputedly...... Wu Yemei, the princess of Taiwu, seems to have a love for the prince of the western region, and the relationship between the two is a little ambiguous. ”

Thinking of the information he had collected in the land of Taiwu before that was not considered information, Ran Kai also smiled and spoke.

Although there is no clear evidence to prove the ambiguous relationship between the prince of the western region and the princess of Taiwu, Lishanwei under the prince of Xia is not a vegetarian, and the information collected still has a certain degree of credibility.

In fact, the reason why he said this incident was because the scene Ran Kai saw when he attacked and killed Chen Xikang for the first time reduced the uncertainty in his heart by a few points.

When he attacked and killed Chen Xikang in the restaurant for the first time, Ran Kai also saw Wu Yemei beside Chen Xikang, and in the end, in the face of a life-and-death crisis, Chen Xikang was seriously injured and sent Wu Yemei away.

"Since you have spoken like this, does it mean that you have a basis to support this?"

"You can say yes, you can say no. ”

Regarding Huang Huai's words, Ran Kai gave such a vague answer, and Ran Kai said this not intentionally to perfunctory Huang Huai, but the fact is that this is the case.

Indeed, the scene that Ran Kai saw in the restaurant at the beginning, if it were someone else, he would definitely feel that the relationship between Chen Xikang and Wu Yemei was extraordinary, but in the eyes of a thoughtful person like Ran Kai, this was not the case.

After the incident in the restaurant, Ran Kai also collected information that Chen Xikang kidnapped Wu Yemei, the daughter of Taiwu Princess, because he ran for his life, so Ran Kai knew that the reason why Chen Xikang wanted to send Wu Yemei away that night with the danger of death was probably because he was afraid that Wu Yemei's death would cause Taiwu's anger towards Xichen.

Hearing Ran Kai's words, Huang Huai's thoughts about whether the prince would be quietly captured by Taiwu because of a serious injury after the battle had almost disappeared, but the information about the ambiguous relationship between the prince and the princess of Taiwu that Ran Kai said might be helpful for him to find the traces of the prince later.

After not worrying so much about Chen Xikang's safety because of Ran Kai's words, Huang Huai's mind temporarily left Chen Xikang, and then looked at the person in front of him, and his voice was already undulating: "Say, you told me so much, what is your purpose?"

"Hahaha, could it be that in the eyes of General Huang, am I such a purposeful person?"

Hearing Huang Huai's words, Ran Kai also asked out loud with a smile, but Huang Huai's still serious expression next made him restrain his smile.

"Aren't you Ran Kai the kind of person with a strong purpose?"

Under Huang Huai's questioning with a serious expression, Ran Kai, who was already purposeful, also restrained his frivolous smile, and turned to speak with the same serious face: "King Xia will choose to move Sanchuan County first, and then turn to deal with Bianjing, I need you to help me as an assistant!"

Hearing this, Huang Huai first sneered, and then spoke: "Then give you all the credit?"

"That's right, I need these credits, I want everyone in the world to know my Ran Kai's name, I want to compete on the same stage with the Daming Palace and the seniors in the West!"

"I know that what I said today is not enough to make you do that, but I will make it up to you later, how?"

"It's okay for you to give it, and I don't want you to give anything in return after that, but after you have the right to be famous, I'm going to borrow your military power once!"

"Yes!"

In this way, the two people who would later become the dragons and tigers of the battlefield reached such an agreement.
