At the foot of a hill on the edge of a green mountain, there was a col-like terrain, and a group of soldiers in light armor were hiding inside, bandaging their wounds in twos and threes.

"Niang Xipi, those spies of the flat-topped king are really not things, they are used to some ruthless tricks, I don't know if they are so unplanted when they really fight. ”

A man who was five big and three thick was swearing in his mouth, and he tightened the white cloth belt on his arm with his teeth.

The red blood stains seeped out, and I saw that the white cloth was dyed red, and the rest of the people were in a similar situation.

"Hey, it's not the first time for you, what is so strange about those people's methods. The man, who was leaning against the dirt wall of the col, turned over, changed his position and continued to lie down.

"Grandma's, I just can't be angry. ”

", then let's explore again. ”

The rest of the people also made a noise, but they all deliberately kept their voices down.

When the quarrel was almost over, the man who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the crowd with his eyes closed opened his eyes and said, "Okay, don't make any noise." ”

"Did the news of Wicker come back?" the man asked in a deep voice, looking at the people in front of him.

"Back to the adult's words, it's been passed on, Liu Zi left early, if it goes well, now I guess I have to go back to the city. ”

"That's good, alright, don't be idle, just the last few days, the city ahead should have been a little bit of movement. The man got up from the ground, and without bothering to pat the dust on his body, he walked out of the col.

This place is the junction of the Xiajia border city and the range of the Pingding King, and the friction has not been broken these days, and even small-scale wars have occurred several times.

Everyone obeyed the order, and walked out of the col one after another, they were spies cultivated by the Xia family, all of them were veterans in the army, and there was no recruit egg, which showed how much the Xia family attached importance to this.

When everyone came to the outside of the col, the man thought about it and didn't move on, it would be too dangerous to go any further, and everyone was injured, so let's go back and repair it first.

So I ran along the mountain road in the direction of the border city, this road is hidden, not even a road, the mountain is overgrown with weeds and trees, which is the best protective color.

But before everyone had gone far, everyone's ears were raised, and they became alert for a moment.

It was a group of old spies, who quickly crouched down and pressed their ears to the dirt.

The sound of horses' hooves is not a minority!

The man in the lead walked quickly and ran in the direction of the upper side, crossed the trees of the high mountain, and looked at the foot of the mountain in front of him, only to see the dust and smoke billowing and the torrent of fast horses gathering in the direction of the border city.

"Damn!" the man clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice, even though he had expected that the Flat Top King would move, he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly.

The only good news is that Wicker has brought the news back.

"Hurry, run back as fast as you can. The man stood above and shouted, beckoning the group to leave.

And there is no plan to return to the border city, the war is together, the role of these spies is minimal, at this time the best decision is to continue to spread the news inside.

The man made a quick decision, and he was able to get a few batches of fast horses in the plain town under the mountain!

......

Hongguang City, Xia Lingling's Mansion.

In the study, on a few mahogany chairs, sat Liu Yuanxia Lingling and a few people.

Since the last time he told Zhen Zhu about it to a few people, Liu Yuanyi stayed in the inn for a few days, and he seemed to have nothing to do except practice martial arts.

As for how Xia Lingling and the others will treat Zhen Zhu and what will happen after that, it has nothing to do with him Liu Yuan, and he is not curious at all.

However, at this time, he came to the Xia Mansion again, but it was because Zhou Xiangwen sent someone to invite him, and there was new news.

"There is news from Ziwei Mountain?" Liu Yuan asked as he looked at Xia Lingling, who was sitting opposite him.

"Ah, that's right, that's what it takes to invite seniors. Xia Lingling nodded slightly, and was about to say something more, but after thinking about it, she picked up a stack of sorted papers from the table and handed it over: "It's better to ask the seniors to see it for themselves, it's all on it." ”

"Okay, there's work. Liu Yuan stretched out his hand to take the paper into his hand, and no matter what Xia Lingling and Zhou Xiangwen discussed, he took a closer look.

There is not much content on the paper, and because it was sorted out by Xia Lingling, it does not seem scattered, but Liu Yuan finished reading it all with a cup of tea.

After handing the paper back, Liu Yuan fell into deep thought.

What is already certain is that Ziwei Mountain has indeed joined the side of the Pingding King, of course, this matter is still relatively obscure.

It was not so blatantly expressed, it was learned through Xia Lingling's investigation, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the imperial court.

In addition, Chu Mu and the others have lived in seclusion since they entered the Pingding Palace, especially Chu Mu has never appeared again.

For the time being, even the Xia family can find out what they can hear, and they don't know what these people are plotting.

Of course, there are some things that are not written on the paper, and it is not that the Xia family does not know, but that Liu Yuan cannot be told that he knows.

In the recent days, Xia Lingling's position in the Xia family has been stable, and there is a higher and higher trend, just because her own strength cannot be ignored.

It is also because of this that Lao Xia attaches great importance to it, and some inside information has also begun to discuss with his daughter.

In fact, in Lao Xia's heart, what men and women are not very important, in the end, he can stabilize this territory, and being his soil emperor is the most important thing.

As long as they don't die, these people are just children, and it is still easy to control them from making too big waves, just like controlling the boss before.

Of course, judging from Lao Xia's ambitions, he will not be satisfied with just being a simple soil emperor, if he can, he naturally wants to be a real emperor.

And after knowing some of her father's plans, Xia Lingling is now starting to act cautiously, and even a little bit, it is simply cautious.

Even she had to admire her father's courage, how much strength he pulled into this southwest road, and how much chess he played.

Even if she is in this ruthless battlefield, the slightest carelessness is a lifeless end.

Under the tilting of several parties, if it weren't for the top ten masters, which lone ranger would dare to wander around, oh, of course, you have to include your predecessors, Xia Lingling thought in her head.

"The news, that's it, what's the matter, it's still helpful to the seniors. I didn't want to disturb the other party, and after waiting for a while, Xia Lingling asked.

"Yes, thank you. Liu Yuan came back to his senses and replied.

"Eh, what the seniors said is just a little bit of a gesture. Xia Lingling waved her hand and said.

At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart that I am not without a backer, and when I think it is necessary, my predecessors must be on my side.

Just when the three of them were still talking, the steward outside the door hurriedly came, knocked on the door, and came in after getting Xia Lingling's permission.

"Miss Yu, the master asked you to come over quickly. The steward stood respectfully in front of the door, raised his hands in front of him, and said.

"Oh, did you mention what's the matter?" As soon as she heard the word quickly, Xia Lingling had already stood up, you must know that her father usually doesn't use these two words, and his subordinates won't send messages indiscriminately.

"This ...... Ah, I heard that something happened in the border city. ”
