The dark night shrouded Yuxing City, and there were many dark clouds in the sky tonight, and the already dim moonlight was also tightly covered. The cold winter night is a lonely city again, and the occasional crow crow also adds a bit of seclusion to this cold and dilapidated city. Suddenly, the dark clouds dispersed slightly, and a few bleak rays of moonlight passed through the gap, dripping on the dusty city wall, giving people a sense of loneliness......

In the palace of the king of Yuxing City, in the room of the prefect Wuluo with Todo, the questionnaires in the main hall were piled up everywhere. Urlo and Todo himself were sitting at the table sorting out the papers, but the whole person looked very anxious, as if he was upset by the papers on the table, or anxiously waiting for something.

After a while, the Urlo took Todo to drop his pen and suddenly stood up from the table. Perhaps distraught, Urlo took Todo's right hand and threw the scroll on the table to the ground to vent his frustration. Then, Ula took Todo to look at all the documents on the ground and in the room with jealous eyes, and seemed to be extremely irritable in his heart, it seems that there is indeed something bad that makes the prefect of the Ura Todo anxious......

"My lord, General Rongwu asks to see—" At this moment, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the door.

When Urlo took Todo to hear this, he paused for a moment, he quickly picked up the scroll that he had just thrown on the ground, rearranged it and put it on the table, and then said to the guard outside the closed door, "Let him in—"

"Yes—" The guard agreed, and the figure vanished from the lattice window, replaced by another burly figure.

The man knocked on the door, and the Ullo took Todo and asked for "Please come in." The man pushed the door open.

This man was dressed in silver-gray armor and had a strong body, and he knew at a glance that he was a general. I saw the man enter the door. Then he squatted down and saluted: "The last general Rongwu see your lord-" It turned out that this person was the "General Rongwu" in the mouth of the guard outside the door just now.

"Get up, General Rongwu......" Ullo and Todo replied casually.

"Lord Xie—" After Rong Wu responded, he stood up with the weapon on his waist with his right hand.

"Tell me about the battle ahead...... It turns out that the Ullo and Todo have been worried about the war on the outskirts of the city just now, and Rongwu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight to report the matter.

"Yes, my lord—" Rong Wu straightened up and said slowly. "Our army was divided into three routes, with cavalry as the main part in the middle, and infantry on both wings as detours from the path. Jointly block Xu Da's troops. However, the battle of the mountains, forests and wilderness was not good at our side, and the left and right flanks were almost completely annihilated, and our General Kang and General Qifu Litai were captured by the enemy generals Chang Yu Chunsheng, and the two wings were in danger. Only the cavalry strength in the middle can still compete with it. But if you can't get out of the enemy encirclement as soon as possible. I'm afraid it's in danger......"

It seems that the news that came back was unfavorable to the battle situation, and after listening to it, Wuluo took Todo to hear it, first clenched his fists and sighed deeply, expressing his helplessness, and then sighed lightly: "Well, both wings have fallen, and even if the cavalry in the middle is strong, it will be surrounded and dried up by the enemy; Rendezvous with the troops on both flanks, and attack the middle of the city head-on. The cavalry is good at field warfare. But once it retreats to the city, the formation will be chaotic and unable to fight back. If we don't advance or retreat, will we suffer the fall of Yuxing City like this? Or will we abandon the city in order to protect ourselves?"

"Absolutely not, my lord!" Rong Wu immediately dissuaded, "Yuxing City is the key pass for Zhu Yuanzhang to go north to Shandong, if Yuxing City is surrendered like this, I am afraid that the war in the north will be even tighter!"

"Yes, even Zhu Yuanzhang can see the importance of the main road in Yuxing City, but why doesn't the imperial court pay attention to it?

Rong Wu slowed down, and then said: "On the side of the imperial court, Timur will send reinforcements on the order of the Holy Lord. However, Timur's troops were far away in Luoyang, and they couldn't feel ...... for a while."

"How is this a good ......" Seeing that it is also a desperate situation now, the cavalry in front of the battle is still fighting with Xu Da's troops on the outskirts of the city, and the Wuluo belt Tuoduo continued, "The current cavalry is all the cavalry troops in the hands of this king now, if this army also falls, then there will be no capital to defend the city at all, so we must not sit idly by, we must drag until the reinforcements of the imperial court arrive......"

Rong Wu stood in place and thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, please give the last general a chance, the last general is willing to lead the infantry elite soldiers, set up an ambush from the small road, and ambush often encounters the spring department! As long as the small road outflanks the enemy and repels it, the cavalry troops will naturally be able to break the siege——"

"General Rongwu, you...... Is it really possible?" Seeing Rong Wu's death-like appearance, Wu Luo said with some doubts, "Even General Kang and General Qifu Litai have been defeated, General Rongwu, you ......"

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general already has a strategy to break the enemy in his heart-" Rong Wu said confidently, "As long as the adult can give the last general elite soldiers, the last general will definitely be able to win and break the enemy army!"

Seeing that Rongwu was very confident, and thinking about it carefully, there are not many generals under him who can be practical, since the cavalry troops in front cannot be lost, then Wuluo with Todo can only bet this time. So, Wu Luo took Todo to order Rong Wu: "Okay, since General Rong Wu has the determination to die, this king will take out his family funds and give General Rong Wu 20,000 elite soldiers, and make a detour from the trail again, try to stop Chang Yu Chunbu, and save the cavalry vanguard troops!"

"The last general commands—" Rong Wu solemnly agreed, then turned around and left the room......

There was only one person left in the room, and although he saw Rong Wu's very confident appearance just now, he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart. Since the collapse of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's forces, Zhu Yuanzhang's army has been like a bamboo, and there are countless cities in Lianke, approaching the Shandong border. Now that he has come to this Yuxing City, Wuluo has taken Todo's troops to fight with it several times, it can be said that he has lost his troops and lost his vitality, even if Rongwu's strategy really works, even if he can really rescue the vanguard of the cavalry this time, Xu Da's army is on the move. Yuxing City may not be completely defended. Thinking of this, Urlo took Todo even more worried, and he was still entangled in his heart. Seems to be struggling with other things......

"My lord, Dou Deyong, the leader of the 'Tangying Society', asks to see you-" While Wuluo was thinking anxiously, the guard at the door reported something.

"Hmph, what is the matter with him coming back to this king so late today?" Urlo took Todo to hear it, and couldn't help but say, "Oh. I remembered that this king gave him two hundred elite soldiers today to attack Wangjia Village. I don't know what the result is...... Tell Dou Deyong to come in and see me—"

"Yes, sir—" the guard replied, and went down again.

It didn't take long for Dou Deyong's figure to appear at the door of the main hall. I met the Urlo with Todo. Dou Deyong immediately saluted and said, "The villain Dou Deyong has seen the prefect—"

"Get up—" Ullo and Todo didn't want to talk too much. Cut straight to the point, "How about it, Dou Gang Master went to Wangjia Village today, did he gain anything?"

"This ......" Dou Deyong kept his head down, and in the face of today's daytime fiasco, Dou Deyong didn't know how to speak.

"Looking at the reluctant look of the Dou gang leader, it seems that it has backfired...... "Urlo took Todo and sneered, "Isn't it okay to be beaten and eat?" Hurry up and explain the situation to this king—"

Dou Deyong still lowered his head, and then reluctantly recounted the experience of failure during the day......

Outside the Prime Minister's House. Lao Jiu had followed Dou Deyong all the way, and when he saw that Dou Deyong had indeed entered the palace, Lao Jiu secretly said in his heart: "Dou Gang Master, you really went to Wuluo to bring more ......."

So, Lao Jiu just wanted to go to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and eavesdrop on what Dou Deyong would say to Wuluo and Toduo, when suddenly a person in armor walked out of the door. Lao Jiu seemed to recognize it, and immediately stopped, and hid a little beside a pillar next to him, peeking into the situation outside.

"General Rongwu?" Lao Jiu recognized, the person who came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion was Rongwu who had just reported the information to Wuluo and Todo.

I saw that after Rong Wu walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he looked around, and then walked quickly in the direction of the military department with some thief eyebrows......

Lao Jiu was very surprised when he saw it, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's strange, wasn't General Rongwu appointed by the Urlo Governor to go outside the city to defend against the enemy? What's the matter, why did General Rongwu come back alone, and he was still unharmed? Also, why did he hurry to the military headquarters, could it be that the Ula took Todo and gave him troops? This matter doesn't seem to be very simple, can it be said that ......?"

A casual thought suddenly passed through Lao Jiu's mind, but Lao Jiu didn't think much about it, after all, his main task tonight was to track Dou Deyong. So, Lao Jiu didn't look at Rong Wu who was leaving in the direction of the military department, but continued to walk to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion by himself......

"Stop, what kind of person dares to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night?" The soldier at the door saw Lao Jiuyi's ragged clothes, and the night was thick and he couldn't recognize his face, and thought it was an unscrupulous person, so he reprimanded and asked.

Lao Jiu didn't panic, stood in front of the soldiers, and took out a gold medal from his chest - it was the pass token given by Wuluo to the "Tang Ying Society", and Dou Deyong and Lao Jiu each had one on them.

The soldier recognized the token, that is, he knew his identity, so he did not stop it anymore and let Lao Jiu enter the Prime Minister's Mansion......

After sneaking into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lao Jiu deliberately avoided the housekeepers and guards in the courtyard, and unconsciously approached the room of the Ula Belt. Anyway, the people in the courtyard think that the people who can enter the mansion are their own people, so even if they see some of Lao Jiu's actions, the people in the mansion don't care too much, they just think they are their own people.

In this way, Lao Jiu was much more convenient, and when he came to the side of the room where Wuluo took Todo, Lao Jiu talked about his ears close to the lattice window of the side room, which was not illuminated by the lights, and secretly listened to everything in it......

"In this way, that son named Tang Zhan, that is, Tang Tianhui, is very tricky, isn't it?"

"Not only the descendant of the Tang family, but also the ...... surnamed Zhao" Dou Deyong gritted his teeth and said thinking about the defeat during the day today.

"The surname Zhao?" asked Urlo with Todo again, "What happened to the surname Zhao?"

"My lord, don't you know what to do, that surname Zhao is a descendant of the royal family of the first Song Dynasty, and that Miss Li, she is a descendant of Li Tingzhi, a famous anti-Yuan general of the first Song Dynasty......" Dou Deyong continued, "Those of them are in a group, according to their appearance, they must all go to Zhu Yuanzhang......

Wuluo took Toto to think for a while, and then said: "It sounds very interesting, but their identities are not too concerned by this king now, what this king wants to know is about the secret of the Tang Sect family, I wonder if the Dou gang leader has found out?"

Dou Deyong listened, paused and said: "The villain is incompetent, and he failed to find out the truth......

"That's really a waste of the two hundred elite soldiers that this king gave you......" Wuluo took Todo and sighed again, "Dou Gang Master, you know that now the battle outside the city is surprising, our two wings of troops have been defeated, and Xu Da's army is about to move down the city - this king can now draw two hundred elite soldiers for Dou Gang Leader you to call, which is already a luxury, but Dou Gang Master, you are the most embarrassed The result is like this, it really disappoints this king, and disappoints the entire Mengyuan court......"

After Dou Deyong heard this, he realized the consequences of his dereliction of duty, and he was terrified. However, just now I heard Wuluo take Todo to talk about the situation of the war, Dou Deyong plucked up the courage to ask: "My lord, my ...... The villain dared to ask, since the battle ahead was so surprising, what was it for...... My lord, do you still have the luxury of sending two hundred elite soldiers to the villain?"

When Wuluo took Todo to hear Dou Deyong mention this problem, he pretended to pause, and then said with a smile: "Hmph, because...... This secret of the Tang family, this king also mentioned it to Dou Gang Master before, there is a formation against Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry researched by the Tang family and a strategy to help Zhu Yuanzhang in the Northern Expedition. If we can take the first step, unlock the secrets of the Tang Sect family, and find the hiding place of those two things, then we will win this game. Yuxing City is just a small city, although it is an important artery, but it can also be abandoned, but the secret of the Tang family is different, if we get those two things first, it can be said that we directly saved the lifeblood of the imperial court. Therefore, that thing must not fall into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands-"

After Wuluo took Todo to finish, Dou Deyong thought for a while, and then asked: "However, now the villain's subordinates are no longer the opponents of the Tang boy, and if you want to find the secret of the Tang family, you have to go to Wangjia Village again." Your Excellency, the war is tight on your side, and you can't get out of it, how can this be good?"

"Who said we must go back to Wangjia Village?" said Urlo and Todo suddenly laughed, "We don't have to worry so much at all, we just need to sit back and wait—"

"What are you doing?" Dou Deyong listened and couldn't help asking.

"Hmph, since Tang Zhan and their purpose is to find Zhu Yuanzhang, they will definitely not implicate the villagers of Wangjia Village again, so there is no need for us to go to them, they will come to my Yuxing City to send them to the door......" Wu Luo said softly.

"Your Excellency is right......" Dou Deyong first laughed, and then asked, "However, the area of Yuxing City is not small, if they really come, how can we find them?"

Wu Luo took Todo up from his seat, and then pointed to Dou Deyong and said: "You, the leader of the 'Tangying Society', why can't you think of this way? In my Yuxing City, it is not easy to find people? You just need to follow my instructions, ask someone to describe the appearance of several of them, and then post them in the form of wanted notices everywhere in the city. As long as they enter Yuxing City, I believe that it will not be long before their whereabouts will be revealed......"

"Yes, yes, my lord said it very ......" Dou Deyong listened and continued to flatter on the side.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, I'll go to sketch tonight, and post it in the whole city early tomorrow morning-" Wuluo took Tuoduo to first instruct Dou Deyong, and then looked out of the door and said, "Hmph, I think that after Tang Tianhui left Wangjia Village, he came directly to Yuxing City to find the king, and took refuge in the imperial court...... Seventeen years have passed, and as a son, Tang Zhan wonders if Lu Dao will re-follow his father......'s path? Besides, this king has only seen him once, that is, he is just a baby, and I don't know what Lu Dao looks like now, it is really exciting......"

The words in the room continued, and Lao Jiu, who was eavesdropping outside the door, did not leave a word.

After Lao Jiu listened outside, his eyes showed surprise and a hint of panic. Thinking of the danger that Tang Zhan and they might encounter when they arrived in Yuxing City, Lao Jiu himself was worried...... (To be continued......)
