Chang Chuchu was taken aback, she didn't expect this Han Bing to have such a big background, she had already seen the majesty of Zhennanhou, and even her father trembled when she saw him, but she treated his son lukewarmly, and often spoke ill of each other, in case he declared a personal vendetta, her father would not be happy. He told me that his name was Han Bing, but he didn't say that he was the son of Zhennanhou. Brother Jiang, don't blame me, I thought he was a liar, so I wasn't very polite to him, he wouldn't be angry, right?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since he has been waiting here for more than half a year, he shouldn't be angry!"

Chang Chuchu patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Where is he now?"

Chang Chuchu said: "I'll take you there!

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go!"

The inn where Han Bing lived was not far from here, and the two of them walked for a while.

Standing downstairs at the inn, Jiang Xiaobai said, "Miss Chang, since you are familiar with him, please go up and report it first." ”

Chang Chuchu nodded and said, "That's good!"

Chang Chuchu was also here for the first time, but Han Bing often mentioned the room number she lived in, Tianzi No. 23, so she remembered that she was familiar with it, so she looked for it directly, and knocked on the door at the end of the corridor.

It was already late at night, and Han Bing had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the knock on the door, he sat up in shock, after all, he didn't have any acquaintances here. "Who is it?"

Chang Chuchu said outside the door: "It's me!"

When Han Bing heard Chang Chuchu's voice, he suddenly fell asleep, hurriedly jumped off the bed, put on his coat indiscriminately, and made a beam of fire on his fingertips, which bounced towards the candlestick on the table, and the room suddenly lit up. rushed over and opened the door in a panic, and saw a familiar figure standing outside, and said happily: "Miss Chang, why are you here, I thought I heard it wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you." Are you coming for me? Come on, come in and sit down!"

Chang Chuchu walked into the house, and when he covered the door, he said, "You are the son of Zhennanhou?"

Han Bing was stunned: "How do you know?"

Chang Chuchu said: "You don't care how I know, you just say you, right?"

Han Bing smiled bitterly and said, "What's the matter?"

Chang Chuchu said: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Han Bing said: "Did I tell you that you would believe it?"

Chang Chuchu thought for a while and said, "Don't believe it! Blame me for having no eyes, if my brother Jiang is here, he will definitely believe it." Anyway, I've already offended you, one person does things and one person does it, if you hate me in your heart, even if you come to me, don't embarrass my father and my brother Jiang. ”

Han Bing was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "How can I hate you?

Chang Chuchu was stunned: "You are so noble, I treat you like that, don't you really hate me?"

Han Bing said: "I'd rather you never know my identity! I've always regarded you as my friend, how can I hate you?"

Chang Chuchu said: "Is this true?"

Han Bing nodded and said, "Seriously!"

Chang Chuchu stretched out his little finger and said, "Pull the hook!"

Han Bing hadn't hooked anyone for hundreds of years, and he was quite surprised, so he smiled and said, "Okay, good, pull hook!" and stretched out his little finger to pull the hook with her. And he said, "You came just to hook up with me?"

Chang Chuchu said: "No, my brother Jiang heard that you have been waiting for him for more than half a year, so I came to look for you!"

Han Bing exclaimed, "Qingliang Hou is back?"

Chang Chuchu nodded and did not speak.

Han Bing hurriedly said, "Where is the other?"

Chang Chuchu said: "It's downstairs!"

When Han Bing heard this, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hurried downstairs.

Jiang Xiaobai was standing in front of the inn waiting for him with his hands behind him, and when he heard movement behind him, he turned around.

Han Bing is also a person who is mixed up in officialdom, with a keen eye, seeing that this person is extraordinary, it is estimated that it is, so he hugged his fists and said: "Han Bing has seen Qinglianghou!"

Jiang Xiaobai cupped his fists and saluted: "Brother Han has lifted up, I am no longer Qinglianghou." ”

It was already late at night, and there were almost no people on the street, Han Bing looked left and right, and said, "Qingliang Hou is modest." Qingliang Hou is the imperial seal of Emperor Taizu, inherited from generation to generation, no one has the right to take away your title, as long as this is still the world of the Jiang family, Qingliang Hou will always be Qingliang Hou, otherwise it will be a big rebellion. ”

Jiang Xiaobai listened to these words very useful, not because he liked to be patted on the back, but just a few words represented Han Bing's position, and it seemed that there was still room for cooperation between them. He said: "Yes, there are indeed people who are doing perverse things and causing chaos to the court. ”

Han Bing said: "It's inconvenient to talk here, why don't you go to my room to talk, what does Master Hou think?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Very good!"

The three of them went upstairs again and came to Han Bing's room.

Jiang Xiaobai looked around and sighed: "Brother Han has been wronged in such a place for more than half a year in order to wait for me, Xiaobai is really upset in his heart!"

Han Bing said: "Qinglianghou will see the outside when he says this. Besides, I don't feel aggrieved at all, but I slowly like this small city, and I always sigh that the old Qingliang Hou has a vision, and I really envy others to choose such a quiet and beautiful small city to live in the future!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Brother Han praised it!"

Han Bing said: "I'm telling the truth! Come, sit down and talk!"

Jiang Xiaobai and Chang Chuchu sat down.

Chang Chuchu said: "Do you have any important things to talk about?

Han Bing also sat down and said with a smile: "Miss Chang has seen the outside, no matter how important things are, I don't dare to hide from Miss Chang!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "That is, if you make Miss Chang unhappy, it is also terrible to start a fire." ”

Han Bing was stunned and said, "Oh, is it? But it's about the same, I've seen it." After saying that, he laughed.

Chang Chuchu's face turned red, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the next room shouting: "Mom, laughing in the middle of the night, and don't let people sleep?"

The faces of the three of them changed. Chang Chuchu Huo Ran got up and said, "I don't know what is dead or alive, I'll teach him a lesson." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Let him move to another room!"

Chang Chuchu nodded, walked out, and heard a "bang", the door next door was kicked open, and he heard a man's voice coming: "Yo ho, the little beauty has a lot of temper! Since the anger is so big, come, let the uncle extinguish the fire for you!"

Then a scream was heard, and the man was thrown out of the window by the little beauty, and although the floor was not high, he fell half to death. The man groaned and got up from the ground, but he did not dare to say anything, for he saw the white star shining between the little beauty's eyebrows, and the clothes were gone, and he ran away.

Chang Chuchu walked in again, closed the door, sat down at the table again, and said, "Now you can speak with confidence, no one will bother you anymore." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Brother Han, I'm not wrong, it's really terrifying for Miss Chang to start a fire." ”

Han Bing smiled: "Actually, it's not good for girls to be too weak, so it's good." ”

Chang Chuchu pouted, "You will make fun of me." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Okay, let's get down to business! Brother Han has worked tirelessly this time and waited for me for so long, what is the matter?"

Han Bing said: "Has Master Hou ever heard of the changes in the DPRK and China?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I heard that someone usurped the throne." ”

Han Bing was startled, he didn't expect him to speak so directly, which made people's hearts a little unbearable, and said, "Master Hou has been in the Nine Slayer Demon Domain all this time, how did he know about it? Could it be that this matter has been spread to the Nine Slayer Demon Domain?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "That's not true, I have other channels to find out." ”

Han Bing nodded and said, "It seems that although Master Hou is in a safe corner, his ears and eyes are well-informed. I don't know what Master Hou thinks about this matter?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Plotting to usurp the throne, disobeying the holy will, and mutilating siblings are really a great rebellion, people and gods are angry, and everyone will be punished." ”

Han Bing was startled again, if it weren't for the fact that he was still young, his heart really couldn't stand it, he swallowed his saliva and said: "Qinglianghou is really straightforward! You and I meet for the first time, you are so relieved of me?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Believing in a person does not necessarily take a long time to understand, sometimes a look is enough." Besides, the new emperor has just cut off my title, but Brother Han has come to wait for me at the risk of being suspicious of the new emperor, and it takes more than half a year to wait, which shows that Brother Han and the new emperor are not on the same road. ”

Han Bing was stunned and said, "My father didn't look at the wrong person, Qinglianghou is really smart and discerning, in a word." Now that the Marquis of Qingliang has opened the skylight to speak brightly, I won't hide it anymore, dare to ask the Marquis of Qingliang, do you want to regain your title?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's not that I think, as long as I live, I must take back my title, otherwise I will be sorry for my ancestors." ”

Han Bing said: "Does Master Hou know that the new emperor has given your title to Lu Changhai, the generalissimo of the Heavenly Road?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I have heard of it!"

Han Bing said: "With Lu Changhai's character, he will definitely not feel guilty for snatching the title of Hou Ye, and he will definitely regard Hou Ye as a thorn in his bones and a thorn in his eye, so if Hou Ye stays in Qingliang City, he will definitely be squeezed out, maybe Lu Changhai has already made a killing move." In this case, Hou Ye might as well come to my place to show his skills and join hands with my father to create a great cause. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Han Hou has already sealed the Hou, what other grand undertakings do you need?"

Han Bing said: "It's not a secret, my father's title is also in jeopardy now. Originally, before the new emperor usurped the throne, my father didn't deal with him, not to mention that he still usurped the throne, my father was even more unconvinced, and the new emperor could feel it, but he was also afraid of forcing my father to rebel, and he didn't dare to directly cut his title, but the small actions continued, during the time you went to the Nine Demon Slayer Domain, Tianlu and Jianglu have already annexed more than a dozen counties of the earth, and the meaning of the new emperor is very simple, that is, he wants to slowly eat away my earth. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Then how did Han Hou deal with it?"

Han Bing said: "My father also wrote to the court to ask for an explanation, but the new emperor's answer was very ridiculous, saying that it was just a child fighting, so it should be exercised and sharpened!

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Now it's all annexation between counties?"

Han Bing nodded and said, "At first, it was city to city, then it was pool to pool, and now it is county to county." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Why doesn't the palace join the war?"

Han Bing said: "The palace is going to participate in the battle, the two sides have not yet reached the point of tearing their faces, and the army has not moved, but I estimate that it will be soon." So my father was also in a hurry, and he said that only you can save him, so he asked me to wait for you here all the time. But it's been almost a year since you've been gone, and to be honest, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back, and I'm going to wait a few more days, and I'll go back too. "I didn't say yes, if it wasn't for Miss Chang, I would have left a long time ago.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Han Hou is too high for me! Dare to ask where Han Hou is now? Is he in the capital?"

Han Bing shook his head and said: "The capital is not safe, and it has long been said that he is sick and cannot go to the court, and he has been living in the army." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said: "That's right, once the signs are wrong, the new emperor will definitely attack Han Hou!

Han Bing said: " There are a total of seven marquis in the Zhongxia Kingdom, originally you accounted for one, the civil officials accounted for two, and the remaining four were Zhendong Hou, Zhennan Hou, Zhenxi Hou, Zhenbei Hou, to be honest, the marshal of the previous feudal marquis must be more proud in the court, and his speech was relatively strong, so the other six marshals must be particularly unpleasant to look at, resentful, and may also be a little dissatisfied with the first emperor, this time the new emperor usurped the throne, and tried his best to woo them, and they may have privately promised to divide the titles of the four roads to them, so they are full of energy, desperately squeezing out the Quartet Zhenhou, and also dreaming of being like Lu Changhai, the marquis is sealed。 The Marquis of Zhenbei is a little better, he is the uncle of the new emperor, and the new emperor appeases him a little, and he is stable. And Zhendong Hou and Zhenxi Hou are the same as my father, they used to deal with this new emperor, so now they are in the same danger as me. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "In other words, there are only two allies in the underground road, and they are not close together?"

Han Bing nodded, "It seems to be the case at the moment!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's really tricky to fight seven roads with three ways!"

Han Bing said: "Father said that as long as Qinglianghou comes back, there will definitely be a way to solve this dilemma." I have also heard that Hou Ye has broken tens of thousands of enemies with the strength of hundreds of people in the Wusheng Sea, this matter should not be difficult for Hou Ye, Hou Ye will definitely be able to reproduce the glory of the old Qingliang Hou!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Brother Han praised it falsely, that's just a fluke!"

Han Bing said: "Hou Ye is humble, then Hou Ye is willing to help us now?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "You can't talk about help, you just take what you need." ”

Han Bingxi said, "Master Hou agreed?"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "I can only say that I will do my best!"

Han Bing said: "With the help of Hou Ye, then we are tantamount to a tiger with wings!

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I can't talk about good policies, now I can only take one step at a time, but the city of the road can no longer be lost, if the enemy army is allowed to attack the pool all the way and plunder the land, the momentum is like a bamboo, then the people's hearts will be lost, but it will be over." ”

Han Bing said: "We also understand this truth, but the strength of the Heavenly Road is no worse than the Ground Road all the way, not to mention that we have to deal with two roads at the same time now, which is a little overwhelming!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since it is now a competition between counties, then you pick an important county on the west road and hand it over to me, I will guard it, and you will be in charge of the east road." ”

Han Bingxi said: "Is Master Hou sure?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "If I can't even defend a county, what qualifications do I have to live up to the love of Zhennanhou?

Han Bing said: "That's good, it just so happens that there is a county in the west of us that is very important, to be exact, it should be three counties, in the shape of a zigzag, behind these three counties, is the Tiger Prison Pass, if these three counties are lost, Tianlu will attack my Tiger Prison Pass, which is the hinterland of my land, and now more than a dozen counties outside the Tiger Prison Pass have been eaten away by Tianlu, and there are only three counties left, which are in danger, if Hou Ye can hold it, I will hand over these three counties to you, and we will guard the East Road with peace of mind." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes!"

Han Bing got up and said happily: "Okay! Without further ado, I'll go back overnight to make arrangements." Now it has come to the day of collecting the guide beads once every three years, so the new emperor will choose to stir up trouble at this time, the lead beads are related to the root of the road, I am impatient in my heart, so I also ask the Hou Ye to go to the post as soon as possible, the sooner the better, once the three counties are lost, and millions of lead beads will be gone. ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'll arrange it tomorrow, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Han Bing nodded, explained the situation of the three counties to him, really didn't sleep, and went downstairs to prepare to leave. Called Xiao Er up and brought a horse, Jiang Xiaobai and Chang Chuchu stood at the door, Han Bing stepped on the horse, suddenly looked at Chang Chuchu and said, "Miss Chang, will you go together?"

Chang Chuchu was in shock all night, after all, not everyone has a chance to hear such a secret, but she is happy, this is a comfort of being trusted. smiled: "As long as Brother Jiang takes me, I will go." ”

Han Bing looked at Jiang Xiaobai again and said, "Master Hou, will you take her there?"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "As long as she's happy!"

Han Bing's heart was overjoyed, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Jiang Xiaobai said: "But Brother Han, now that the city gate is closed, can you get out?"

Han Bing said with a smile: "I've been here for more than half a year, but it's not for nothing, I have already inquired about the two leading beads that can be bribed." Add another five, and even the dragon lin horse will give me a spare!"

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Han is well versed in the way of officialdom!"

Han Bing smiled and said, "That's a must!Hou Ye, Miss Chang, farewell!" After speaking, he kicked off the horse's belly and left.

The next day, Jiang Xiaobai had just returned from the Nine Slaughter Demon Domain, he had been tired all the way, and he slept late at night, so he slept until three poles in the morning. At this time, someone came to report that the county lord of Daojun was coming, so he got up in a panic and washed.
