Inside the tent, Ren Rong sat on a wooden wheelchair, bowed his head to deal with military affairs, his face was a little pale, bloodshot under his eyes appeared, and the whole person looked a little tired and haggard, as if he hadn't slept well for a few days.

Hearing the sound of the tent being lifted, Ren Rong looked up and saw Peng Rou and Cheng Kun walking in one after the other, and his face suddenly showed undisguised joy: "Little sister, it's great that you're okay." Behind you is Cheng Kun, who has made great contributions to this trip, and he is indeed a young hero. ”

When Cheng Kun heard this, he didn't speak, but leaned over slightly to thank Ren Shuai for his appreciation.

Peng Rou heard Ren Rong call herself "little sister", and her heart was also very warm.

When she was a child, before she was sent to Xuanyiguan to learn art, she ran behind this brother.

At that time, Ren Rong's legs were not crippled, it was when the young man was in high spirits, and he had always doted on this sister, what was delicious and fun, he always wanted to bring Peng Rou, although these two were not brothers and sisters who were related by blood, but the relationship was average.

It's just that after Ren Rong was disabled, he became depressed, and the whole person was much gloomy, and he rarely had such a cordial title when he saw Peng Rou. He seems to have spent all his time on military affairs, in order to get revenge.

Peng Rou's voice unconsciously became kinder: "Brother, I'm tired of you worrying about me." ”

Ren Rong shook his head, with a guilty expression on his face: "Don't talk about this, it's good for you to come back, I think about this action afterwards, but I was a little reckless, I didn't expect this Broken Dragon Mountain to be so dangerous, tired little sister, you suffer from this." It's a good thing you're safe, otherwise I wouldn't have had the shame to see my father again. ”

Peng Rou retorted: "This trip is dangerous, I knew this in advance, if you want to catch Dai Yue'er, how can you not take some risks? ”

"Oh, I'm going to hear that. Ren Rong was interested.

Peng Rou didn't sell Guanzi, and told all about the discovery of the ancestor of Xuanyiguan in Zhu Yan's territory, and said at the end of the sentence: "I also know that this matter is not trivial, now that my master is in the barracks, if there is any problem, I can call the master to discuss together." ”

Ren Rong's eyes widened halfway when he heard it, and the bloodshot under his eyes became more and more obvious, but his spirit was a lot more excited, obviously this news gave him a lot of shock.

Ren Rong couldn't help but rub his temples, this news came a little suddenly, and it was widely implicated, he had to think about how to deal with it.

It's just that when I think that I haven't had a moment to be idle in the past few days, and I don't even have time to sleep, Rao is that he has been diligent in official business, and he can't help but complain at this time:

"Little sister, you will give me a big problem, I also know the prestige of Senior Feng, and such a major matter must be cautious. It's just that I may not be able to spare my hands now, alas, it's really not a coincidence, why did everything come together?"

Peng Rou was a little confused: "Everything rushed together?"

Ren Rong sighed, rubbed his faces on both sides with his hands, drove away his fatigue, and explained:

"Little sister, you and Cheng Kun are trapped in Broken Dragon Mountain and don't ask about the world, I don't know that a major event happened in the imperial court half a month ago, and even my Dingshan Army can't stay out of the matter this time, I haven't rested well in the past few days, just worried about this matter. “

Peng Rou's face couldn't hide her surprise, she frowned slightly, and asked, "What is the big thing in the imperial court that makes you so troubled, brother?"

Ren Rong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is going to make a prince." ”

This explanation obviously couldn't satisfy Peng Rou: "Isn't this a matter of course, several princes of His Majesty are all adults, and they should indeed be crowned princes, but I don't know if it's the eldest prince or the second prince?"

Cheng Kun was a little speechless in the back, is it really good for the two of you to discuss this kind of national affairs casually, he was a little hesitant whether he should quit, but Ren Rong didn't seem to see Cheng Kun, he didn't have any scruples at all, and explained in a bitter tone:

"It would be good if this was the case, no matter which prince becomes the prince, the position of my Dingshan army will not be shaken. The key is that Your Majesty did not decide on the candidate for the crown prince on the spot, but issued an edict, saying that the dynasty will launch a war of extermination against the Xiongnu in the next few years, and then all the princes who are interested in the position of the ninety-five can join this war, and wait until the end of the war to count everyone's military merits, which prince has the greatest merit, Your Majesty will make him the prince!"

Peng Rou didn't know what to say for a while, she had the heart to complain that this was a chaotic fate, and how could she link the affairs of the military state with the matter of Lichu, this is obviously nonsense.

But every decision Xiang Liang made after his accession to the throne showed the world that this was a rare male lord in a century, a British lord. Would such an emperor not think carefully before making a decision? Since His Majesty has made such a decision, there must be a reason behind it, but he just didn't think of it.

But in this way, Peng Rou also understood why Ren Rong had such a headache.

Since the matter of Lichu is linked to the extermination of the Xiongnu, the first thing the army must do next is to determine its own position.

Which prince to support is a major matter related to the future of the army after the new monarch ascends the throne. If you accidentally get on the wrong side this time, you're basically sure you don't have a bright future.

No matter how cautious you are, this kind of thing cannot be overstated.

Looking at her brother's haggard appearance, Peng Rou understood that he must have been under a lot of pressure these days. If it weren't for the fact that my father was in retreat right now, he would have decided this kind of important matter.

Peng Rou didn't know, in fact, Ren Rong had been hesitating whether to call his father-in-law out of the customs.

Since the day of its birth, the Dingshan Army has been guarding the border passes and fighting against the Huns. For the soldiers of the Dingshan Army, killing the Huns is a kind of duty, and it can be said that if you want to eliminate the Huns, then it is impossible to leave the Dingshan Army anyway.

As long as you understand this, you can know that the Joyama army does not need to be in a hurry to stand in line like the Beijing army and the armies of other local counties, because both the eldest prince and the second prince will demand the head of the Joyama army in the end.

I just wanted to think like this, but Ren Rong couldn't really do it.

If Peng Yuan came forward in person, then naturally everything would be easy to say. With his status and prestige, Xiang An and Xiang Hong didn't dare to say anything, but if it was him, the situation might be much more complicated.

In the past few days, the two princes have sent people to lobby, and Chang Tai, who was learning martial arts with Qiao Feng outside the tent just now, is a person under the eldest prince Xiang An. The people of the second prince are still on the road, and when the people of the two princes arrive together, they don't know how much headache they have.

There was silence in the tent, Peng Rou didn't dare to interfere casually in such a big matter, it seems that letting his father come forward is the best solution, but neither of them knows whether Peng Yuan has been in retreat for so long has healed his internal injuries, and whether he has begun to march from the entrance to the realm of beheading corpses.

If they didn't know this, they couldn't have rashly interrupted the process of Peng Yuan's retreat.

Cheng Kun stood behind, also digesting the news he had just heard, this was the first time he had been in such close contact with the political struggle of this huge empire, but he didn't know what kind of impact this would have on him.

After a while, Ren Rongqiang cheered himself up and said to the two: "Okay, just listen to the two of you about this matter, don't go out and talk more." Cheng Kun, don't wonder why I'm telling you this, it's good for you to listen to it. And, needless to say, you'll hear about it soon. ”

Cheng Kun raised his head suspiciously, what does this mean?

Ren Rong explained: "You have made a contribution to the capture of the Xiongnu saintess Dai Yue'er in this operation, I have already informed the imperial court of this matter, and the reward will be passed down in a few days, and it is very likely that you will have to go to the imperial capital at that time." I'm telling you this now, just to make sure you have some bottom in your heart, lest you really run into it like a stupid boy and cause trouble for yourself. ”

This news was somewhat unexpected by Cheng Kun, he was not surprised by the meritorious service, if he hadn't made a bold move when Zhu Yan first appeared, Dai Yue'er would probably have fled with Zarhan and others, but it was a little strange to go to the imperial capital.

For such a trivial matter, it would be good for the Dingshan Army to announce the reward directly, so why did he need to go to the imperial capital? Could it be that he could still ascend to the sky and become a general in one step, or was there other reasons behind this matter that he did not know?

Cheng Kun was puzzled and looked up at Ren Shuai, but Ren Rong just looked at him with a smile, but stopped talking, and he had to put this doubt in his heart for the time being.

After nothing happened, Cheng Kun left the tent, and Qiao Feng was still waiting outside.

He also wanted to ask Uncle Qiao if the people in the family and the master knew about this during the time of his disappearance, and if his father and mother and the master were worried about him, then he would be to blame.

But he didn't expect that after finding Uncle Qiao, he also met another "acquaintance" of his own.

"Master, why are you here?" Cheng Kun looked at Tang Zhong who was standing beside Qiao Feng with a lazy expression, and was very surprised that he appeared here.

"Stinky boy, are you strange that the master is here?" Tang Zhong's tone was vicious, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him.

Cheng Kun hurriedly flattered: "How come, I'm just too surprised, master, you can come to see me, it's too late for me to be happy." ”

Tang Zhong walked over and slapped Cheng Kun on the back of the head: "Stinky boy, who let you lose yourself as soon as you joined the Dingshan Army, it's really a shame to be a teacher, if you don't come back, I will follow the master into the mountain to find you." I've already hidden this for you, but if it takes a little longer, your father and mother won't be able to hide it, and it's up to you what to do when the time comes. ”

Knowing that his father and mother didn't know that he was trapped in Broken Dragon Mountain, Cheng Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and he also knew the concern that the master hid in his words. He knew very well that Tang Zhong's words were not false, if he came back two days late, he would definitely go into the mountain to find him regardless of his safety.

Cheng Kun once said on the day of apprenticeship: One day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. Tang Zhong did treat him as his own son.

Qiao Feng watched the master and apprentice talk from the side, and only came over after a while to interrupt: "Okay, if you have anything to say, you are finally back this time, and you master and apprentice will have more opportunities to meet in the future." ”

What does Uncle Qiao mean by that......

Qiao Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You kid don't know yet, you don't know what shit luck you have taken, you master actually broke through the entrance and became a grandmaster, and now even Lao Tzu can't beat him." After Ren Shuai heard about this, he asked me to invite your master back, and from now on, this guy is the general of the Dingshan Army, and even I have to obey his orders. Damn, it's really unreasonable......"

In the end, he couldn't help muttering and scolding in a low voice, he didn't have anything to say about the old brother coming back to become a general, but Tang Zhong turned out to be a grandmaster, which couldn't help but make him envious, jealous and hateful.

Cheng Kun was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but want the master to confirm: "Master, is what Uncle Qiao said true, you have really become a grandmaster?"

Tang Zhong smiled proudly, and without seeing him make a gesture, Cheng Kun felt that he was suddenly pushed aside by a strong force, and he had no power to fight back.

Looking at Tang Zhong again, his clothes were bulging, and the essence in his eyes flashed, although his appearance had not changed, and the unique appearance of the iron clothes was not revealed, Cheng Kun still felt that the master seemed to have turned into a majestic majestic mountain at this moment, and the momentum seemed to have condensed into substance, and this pressure made Cheng Kun unable to raise a trace of fighting spirit.

"Stinky boy, look at it, this is the power of the iron coat after the consummation, as long as the entrance is complete, then it is the inner and outer perfection, and there is no such thing as covering the door. In this way, there is no place on Zhou's body that cannot be erected, and no matter how hard the opponent tries, you don't need to pay attention to it. ”

Before Cheng Kun could exclaim, Qiao Feng stopped doing it first, and he said to Tang Zhong angrily: "Okay, don't make a fuss anymore, isn't it just a turtle shell, looking at you as a showman, it's really unsightly." ”

Tang Zhong laughed, retracted his anger, and was not angry at Qiao Feng's words, but said with a smile: "Whatever you say, I know you're just jealous, if you can do it, you can also break through to the Sect Master to show me." ”

Oh, I'll go, Qiao Feng choked on these words, and felt the urge to vomit blood.

Damn, don't you want to, but if the entrance is so easy to break through, then the grandmaster will already become a dish on the side of the road!

There are three steps to break through the grandmaster, the first step is to open up the eight miraculous scriptures and complete the veins, and the next is to condense the hidden knots in various parts of the body, and in the process to find the mysterious and mysterious knots, when you find them, you can be considered to be able to move on to the next step; After finding the trick of the entrance, all that remains is to find a way to break it, and then communicate inside and outside, sympathize with heaven and man, and transform the acquired innocence into innate.

But it's a pity that Qiao Feng has just touched the side of the consummation of the pulse period now, and it is still a matter of no shadow if he wants to find the trick of the entrance.
