When he returned to the study, Xiaohu came up and said, "Father, don't be sad. You still have the little tiger, and the little tiger will pay tribute to you. Liu Meng looked at the sensible little tiger, touched the little tiger's head, and said: "My father only feels sorry for Jin Long, whether he is my son or not, he must have lapels on his back." Yet, your brother, he is so willing to deign to let hatred blind him and let him lose in battle. I really didn't expect that. By the way, you call Qiao Chen's brother, I have something to say to him." Xiaohu went out and called Qiao Zhen into the room.

When Qiao Zhen walked into the room and saw that Liu Meng had regained his composure, he stepped forward and saluted and said, "I see the duke." ”

"Brother, you're welcome, just sit down. First of all, thank you for healing Xiaohu and telling me the truth. I know what you're here for, but I'm afraid I can't go back. Liu Meng said helplessly that he was also instigated by Guo Lao, agreed to Lord Nancheng's request, and rebelled with him. As long as he takes the first step, he has no chance of turning back.

"Liu, my lord, I'm afraid that Guo Lao has returned to Nancheng by now. He will definitely tell Lord Southtown about the situation here. He won't believe you, he's been taking advantage of you from the beginning. When you help him break through the other two cities, I'm afraid you'll be the next target. Qiao Zhen told Liu Meng about the current situation.

"I know I'm in a very difficult situation, but I hope you can take good care of Xiaohu for me in the future. Liu Meng said earnestly.

Qiao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Liu, Lord, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it inappropriately?"

"Be louder. Liu Meng said bluntly.

"City Lord, I have agreed with the other two city lords, you are from our side, then they will intercede with Your Majesty, besides, with your participation we can put down the rebellion in the east and north, the city lord alone cannot compete with the southern city, their strength is too strong. Now that Guo Lao and Liu Jinlong have passed, and their strength is soaring, I believe that Your Majesty will not blame you, that is, you neglected your own safety, but if you continue to participate in the rebellion, what will Xiaohu do? If you are in any danger, Xiaohu will definitely be even more sad. If you cooperate with the other two cities, the worst case scenario is that you can't become the Duke of Xicheng and still have Xiaohu, isn't that what you want?" Qiao Zhen knew that the most important thing for Liu Meng now was family relationships, so he took Xiaohu out.

Qiao Chen's words just hit Liu Meng's heart. Liu Meng's lost eyes were full of hope. He said to Qiao Xu, "Is this really possible? Can I turn back?"

"Liu, Lord both the eastern and northern cities welcome you to join us. I think Your Majesty also longs for your return. The younger generation is willing to give their lives. If Your Majesty really blames you, then there is no need for us to calm down. Then Lord Liu and I will leave the court and go to the rivers and lakes to enjoy ourselves. Qiao Zhen said. "Hehe, it seems that my brother wants to drive when I'm old. Then I'll listen to my brother. I haven't looked up to a few people in all these years. You are one of them. Tomorrow I will readjust the army to deal with Nancheng", Liu Meng chatted with Qiao Zhen and felt much better. Later, the two discussed the battle plan in detail and sent spies to relay the news to the east and north. After receiving the news, Donghebei couldn't believe it. They didn't expect Qiao Zhen to really convince Lord Xicheng that it was a miracle. Either way, the East and the North are also determined. Now they have surpassed Nancheng in overall strength, and the balance of victory has tilted in their favor.

Qiao Zhen will leave as soon as they have discussed this plan, as they will launch a full-scale attack the next day. He had to get to the palace as soon as possible. His friends were all in the palace. Although he knew if they would be in danger for the time being, he was still uneasy. However, Liu Meng is kind and persistent, and he can only do what he was told and eat at the main mansion of the West City.

It took Lord Nancheng more than an hour to finally get out of the secret room. Then Liu Jinlong followed. Guo Lao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, City Lord."

"Old Guo, you and I have been friends for many years. Why are you so polite?" said the Southern City Lord. He has always been the master and servant of the South City. Now the lord of the city said that he was a friend, which made it difficult for him to accept.

Liu Jinlong said, "Thanks to City Lord Xie, my injuries have healed, and my skills seem to have improved. I am willing to sacrifice Qiao Chen's life for the city lord. It is he who connects East, West and North, and he is also one of the most difficult opponents of the three cities. ”

"Qiao Xu, is that the boy that the three parties were looking for, and isn't he dead?" Lord Nancheng said in a low voice.

"How did the city lord know him?" asked Guo Lao.

"Aang, nothing. I've heard you've been defeated by him once. I'll send a few more people with you so we can take care of each other. The South City Lord said.

"City Lord, let me think about it, I will go with the golden dragon and promise to bring back Qiao Xutou. Guo Lao said.

At this moment, a soldier walked in and whispered a few words in Lord Southtown's ear. Lord Nancheng waved the soldiers down and said, "According to the report of the spies, they have made some moves. I'm afraid they'll attack tomorrow. Qiao Zhen is still in the West Side, I have been closely watched, and he will definitely leave. Stop him on the road and drive him away. You'll then head back to the South City and defend it with the black and white couple. I will take people to the main city and make the emperor's old man surrender as soon as possible. ”

"Yes," Guo Lao and Liu Jinlong said in unison, Guo Lao added, "Then City Lord, let's go first, get rid of Qiao Xu, and return to Nancheng immediately." After that, they took Liu Jinlong out of Nancheng and rushed to Xicheng. They were in the west city, waiting outside for Qiao Zhen to come out. After they left Guo Lao, Lord Nancheng made some arrangements and prepared to rush to the main city.

In Xicheng, after eating, Qiao Zhen chatted a few more words. He said goodbye to Liu Meng, Kang Er and the others and left Xicheng. As soon as he left Xicheng Guo Lao, the others noticed Qiao Chen. They planned to wait for Qiao Zhen to go further, and then start working, following Qiao Zhen all the way. At first, Qiao Zhen didn't notice that someone was following him. When he came to a forest, he noticed someone behind him. He knew it was Nancheng. He picked up speed and burrowed into the forest. Guo Lao and the others also accelerated behind him. After entering the forest, no trace of Qiao Zhen was found. Guo Lao said: "It is impossible for him to disappear so soon. He should be nearby. ”

A figure hides in a tree. Qiao Zhen Qiao Zhen recognized Guo Lao and Liu Jinlong from a distance.
