Li Bufan went to the city with a jar of drinks, "Brother Zhao, Brother Li, Hidden Yang City is forbidden to drink, I used reed roots and poria to cook some drinks, although it is not as good as your Central Plains, but it also has a different taste." ”

Yinyang is rich in reeds, reed roots have the function of going to fire, with Poria cocos, can be used as a summer drink, the taste is bitter, but it can be born, it is quite popular in Yinyang. The Central Plains drink is mainly based on "Erchen Soup", which is boiled with tangerine peel and aged in the middle of summer, and of course, the rich gentleman's family also cooks perilla drinks, water soup, etc., and ordinary people can't afford to drink it.

Xiao Jinyan saw that Li Bufan had changed back into the gatekeeper's clothes, and said strangely, "Why do you have to wear this suit again?"

Speaking of this, Li Bufan complained, "The city lord's mansion is dissatisfied with Bai Ma Yicong's unauthorized action to welcome the old city lord back to the city, and several of the old Bai Ma Yi can't move from him, so they only dare to pick on us newcomers, and they sent us back to our original posts early this morning." This white horse is righteous, and he has been in office for a day, and he has come back to guard the city gate!"

Zhao Lanjiang comforted, "One day for the white horse, for the rest of the white horse." ”

Li Bufan stood awe-inspiring and said: "One day for the white horse, for the rest of the white horse!"

He came to Li Qiuyi's spiritual seat and bowed deeply. The head of the city is too small, and when he returned to the city yesterday, Bai Ma Yicong had built a simple mourning hall at the head of the city. Since last night, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to worship, from the big names in the city to the princes and nobles, and even an old man in his nineties, whose legs and feet are not good, but he refuses to let his children and grandchildren support him, and he personally climbed up and gave Li Qiuyi incense.

Li Qiuyi took the knife as the way all his life, took the city as his home, never married in his life, in the end, he didn't even have the children and grandchildren who accompanied the spirit, Zhao Lanjiang carried out the disciple ceremony, and dozens of spontaneous white horse righteous followers accompanied the spirit, and later took the initiative to accompany the spirit There were too many people, Zhao Lanjiang persuaded them several times, and only refused on the grounds that Li Qiuyi was happy and quiet.

Evening.

A man wearing a hufu and a hat on his head went up to the city wall, Zhao Lanjiang thought he was here to worship Li Qiuyi, and was about to get up to return the salute, the man came to him, took off the hat, and said: "The Fengzi battalion of the Western Army reprimanded the army to join the army Hajiangyi, see General Zhao!"

Zhao Lanjiang saw that the man was short and stout, with a purple face and a hooked nose, and said in surprise, "Old eight, it's you, why are you here?"

Ha Jiangyi was Zhao Lanjiang who joined the army in the Fengzi Battalion that year, his father was a Hu person, and his mother was a Han Chinese, so he had some exotic blood, when he was in the Fengzi Battalion, Ha Jiangyi did not talk much, but when he fought, he was the most ruthless, and every time he charged, he was the first, and he was nicknamed Ha Maniac.

Because of this, Zhao Lanjiang recommended him to join the army.

Later, after Zhao Lanjiang escaped from the barracks, the two severed contact. In Wanzhou and Leijiazhuang before, when he was mentioned to Song Dachun and Lei Zhenyu, everyone didn't know where he went.

Ha Jiang Yi said, "After you left, I was ordered to leave the army, infiltrate the Northern Zhou to carry out tasks, mixed into the Blood Crow Organization, and became a dead soldier in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. ”

The Blood Raven is a spy organization in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, similar to the shadow of Western Chu and the Dengwen Academy of the Ming Dynasty, infiltrating Western Chu and Daming to carry out assassination and intelligence missions.

"What's the task?"

Ha Jiang Yi said, "It's not clear now, wait for the order from above, but from the words of the leader, it should be the assassination of the governor of Yuwen, today I was ordered to go out of the palace to procure, I heard that General Zhao was at the head of the city, so I came up to meet him." ”

Zhao Lanjiang knew that his identity was not trivial, and once it was exposed, he was afraid that he would end up with no bones left, so he shook his head and said, "It's too risky! Yuwen Tianlu is known as the number one master in the world, and you dead soldiers, I'm afraid you are not opponents." ”

"For Northern Zhou, the situation is greater than the significance. And as far as I know,

Li Xiancheng has long had the heart of a second minister, and the Governor of Yuwen came lightly this time, without subordinates or guards, just to use himself as a bait to test the movement of the city lord's mansion. ”

Zhao Baojiang said, "Old eight, I have already left the Western Army, you don't have to tell me these things." He said, "Brother, how long have we not drunk?"

Ha Jiangyi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's been almost five years, last time I had a treat, but you still paid, and when this mission is over, I will accompany you to drink for three days and three nights!"

Before Ha Jiangyi joined the army, he had married in the capital and gave birth to a daughter. His wife is strong, when he was a big soldier, he was the most careful, the military salary was three taels, he could save two and a half, every six months, he sent fifteen taels of silver home, and later became a member of the army, five taels of military salary, and his monthly expenses were not even more than two hundred. Every time he drank, he never paid for it, but when he was desperate, he was at the forefront.

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Do you still want to send money to your family?"

Ha Jiangyi scratched his head, "The mother-in-law at home, it's not that you don't know, if you don't send the money back, the mother-in-law will think about it again, thinking that I am raising a woman outside." Don't you know, those of us who are soldiers, these days, we are excited to see a sow for a long time, where do we dare to expect to raise a girl, haha!"

Zhao Lanjiang poured a cup of drink sent by Li Bufan, handed it to Ha Jiangyi, and sighed, "The comrades-in-arms who fought side by side back then, tigers and leopards died in battle, Song Dachun broke a leg and became a garrison in Jiujiang, and Lei Zi also withdrew from the Fengzi Battalion. ”

Ha Jiangyi's face darkened, and he said, "According to the news I got, half a year ago, Xichu attacked the West Eleventh Guard, and Lai Ridan has been martyred!"

Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered that last year, Xichu occupied the Hulukou of the West Eleventh Wei, and a military commander named Lai Ridan disappeared, and Yu Wenshuang went to Hulukou to investigate the matter.

Ha Jiangyi asked, "Do you still want to kill the Governor of Yuwen?"

In the Fengzi camp, Ha Jiangyi is the only one who knows the grievances between Zhao Lanjiang and Yuwen Tianlu, but Ha Jiangyi has a very strict mouth and has never said it to a third person.

Zhao Lanjiang nodded, "This is a family feud." ”

"At the moment of national crisis, we have to prioritize. Lord Yuwen can still die, if he dies, the Western Xinjiang will be in chaos, and our Ming Dynasty will also be in chaos. ”

"This is my grudge with him, and the current martial arts, with Yuwen Tianlu 108,000 miles apart, this is my personal grudge with him, don't ask." ”

Ha Jiangyi nodded.

"I've been out for too long, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the leader, by the way, three days later, the blood crow may have to assassinate Yuwen on the tomb of the Golden Sword King, General Zhao should be careful. ”

Zhao Lanjiang nodded casually, "I know." ”

The two of them hugged each other and gave each other a military salute, Ha Jiangyi left the city tower, Zhao Lanjiang admonished, "Old eight, be careful, you have been rushing for a lifetime, no matter what happens, survive first." ”

Ha Jiangyi gritted his teeth and smiled, "Got it." He put his hat on and turned away.

Hearing Ha Jiangyi's report, Xiao Jinyan said, "Since Li Xiancheng wants to deal with Yuwen Tianlu, with his temperament, I'm afraid he won't let us go when the time comes." ”

Li Chengcheng sneered, "What, are you afraid? That's right, among the three of us, your martial arts are the weakest, and it is understandable that you are afraid." ”

This guy Li Chengcheng is becoming more and more arrogant.

Xiao Jinyan was dissatisfied in his heart, is his martial arts great? It's just luck, half a year ago, your martial arts were not as good as mine, besides, although I am in the Wen Realm, I can open all the tricks, and the ordinary Xuan Realm may not be my opponent.

Li Qingcheng naturally not

Knowing the slander in his heart, he got up and looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, "Yinyang is really getting more and more fun, I hope you won't let me down." ”

Xiao Jinyan sniffed vigorously and said, "I seem to smell a sour smell of conspiracy." ”

A woman floated down at the head of the city, Xiao Jinyan saw that this woman was charming and graceful, and said with a smile, "Isn't this the Yang family of Tianxianglou in Yangzhou City, how did you come to Yinyang City?"

Yang Xiaoxiao smiled, "Recently, Yangzhou City has been severely cracked, and the girls can't get along, so they have to find another way to make a living." Today, I passed by Yinyang and met an old man, and I happened to come to him to settle a romantic account. ”

She stretched out her hand and touched Li Tingcheng's face, Li Tingcheng frowned, turned to the side slightly, and avoided it, "Yang, please respect yourself." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao sneered, "Xiao Daxia, Li Daxia, the little woman has a few whispers to tell Zhao Daxia, I wonder if the two of you can avoid it?"

Xiao and Li glanced at each other and went down to the city.

Zhao Lanjiang looked at Yang Xiaoxiao and smiled, "You are quite well-informed." ”

Yang smiled and said, "When you entered the city, in this battle, four hundred white horses and righteous soldiers drew their swords against you, and the entire Hidden Yang City spread all over the city, no wonder Li Xiancheng regarded you as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and tried every means to get rid of you." ”

"There's his eyeliner all over here, aren't you afraid?"

"Wealth and danger are begging!" Yang smiled and said, "We are now a cooperative relationship, then show the sincerity of cooperation, the Jade Girl Sect has been operating in Hidden Yang City for many years, you are new to the city, and you are not familiar with the place, someone has to give you a message." ”

When he was in Xiangjian County, Yang Xiaoxiao found himself and proposed to cooperate, looking at Zhao Lanjiang's future potential, which has many elements of mutual use. She used to be a spy in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and she also had a lot of eyes and ears in Hidden Yang City, thinking of this, Zhao Lanjiang asked, "What's the important news?"

"As far as I know, a few days ago, there were twelve dead soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who lived in the White Tiger Fang, and the name of this mansion fell under the city lord's mansion, and these people may want to assassinate Yuwen Tianlu. ”

"There are only a few dead soldiers, but they can't help Yuwen Tianlu. ”

"Li Xiancheng is a scheming person, these twelve dead soldiers may be just a trick, and it is very likely that there will be a follow-up move. ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I know this. ”

"We also got a news that the Northern Zhou army, which was originally stationed in the northeast, moved 50,000 soldiers and horses to the south for thirty miles ten days ago, and arrived at Zhaoyao Mountain, from Zhaoyao Mountain to Hengduan Mountain is a plain, and the cavalry can reach it in three hours. ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "These clear-eyed people can see it, can you have some exciting news?"

Yang Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "I'm pregnant, it's your child." ”

Zhao Lanjiang was shocked, "What?"

Yang Xiaoxiao smiled coquettishly, "People lied to you, General Zhao, it turns out that you are still nervous about me." She moved in front of Zhao Lanjiang and said in a low voice, "On the day of the Golden Knife Funeral, Li Xiancheng is ready to do something to you, you have to take precautions as soon as possible, and on the northwest corner of the city wall, there is Li Xiancheng's eyeliner, and your every move in the past few days is under his control." ”

Zhao Lanjiang was shocked in his heart, in this way, Ha Jiangyi rashly went to the city tower to visit, wouldn't it fall into Li Xiancheng's eyes? Then Ha Jiangyi's situation is afraid that it is dangerous.

He held Yang Xiaoxiao's shoulder and solemnly admonished: "I have a brother who is mixed with the dead soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you can find a way to help me pass on a message, so that he can make plans as soon as possible." ”

"What's the benefit of someone doing things for you?"

Zhao Lanjiang said awe-inspiringly, "Didn't the Jade Maiden Sect keep saying that it wanted to cooperate with me, this matter should be regarded as my test for you!"
