Hearing this, Huang Shan was shocked, this was the first time to meet someone who dared to humiliate himself, when his eyes met with the calm eyes, the anger in his heart was suppressed again.

"Who are you?" asked Huang Shan tentatively.

"Can't you guess it with your adult experience?" smiled indifferently, Xiao Yao asked rhetorically.

After thinking about it, Huang Shan's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Could it be that you are the master that Qin Hu said." ”

"A master can't talk about it, at best he is a person who dares to touch a nail. Xiao Yao smiled.

Putting away his contempt, Huang Shan said: "I'm really sorry for offending my little friend just now. ”

"You're welcome, if it weren't for the change in the situation, I wouldn't have come to disturb the city lord. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Hey, I'm worried about this matter, if Xiaoyou doesn't show up, I will be completely planted in Xu Jinsong's hands. Huang Shan said.

"It's a trivial matter if you plant it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life. Xiao Yao said lightly.

"Xiaoyou is worried a lot, after all, I raised him single-handedly, and he won't harm me. Huang Shan said.

"No, hehe...... Adults laugh at that, if he is grateful, will he snatch away the military power? Everyone in Qingyan City knows that you are Xu Jinsong's puppet, and adults will not hide their ears and steal the bell and deceive themselves, right?" Xiao Yao sneered.

"You ......" stood up suddenly, Huang Shan's expression was excited, and after a while, he sat back in his chair weakly, and said a little decadently: "You're right." ”

"Shame and courage, you still have a chance to turn around, if you are timid, adults should wash their necks and wait for the time of death. Xiao Yao said coldly.

"Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, over the years, I have privately written more than a dozen letters to the Dongwang Mansion to complain about Xu Jinsong's actions, but when the letters arrived, they seemed to sink into the sea, and I didn't receive a trace of news. Huang Shan said helplessly.

Stunned, Xiao Yao asked in shock: "You mean that Xu Jinsong bought off the people of Dongwangfu?"

With a bitter smile, Huang Shan said: "Apart from this understanding, I can't find any reason." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao completely understood that officialdom was like a big dye vat, no one from top to bottom was clean, I thought that the Dongzhou Rebellion was out of banditry and bureaucrats from all over the country to loot people's money, but I didn't expect that the Dongwang Mansion, which he thought was the most sacred, was also so dirty.

"It doesn't matter to us what happens in the East Palace, the most important thing now is to solve the matter in front of us. Xiao Yao said.

"What is the plan of Xiaoyou?" Huang Shan hurriedly asked.

"Xu Jinsong's biggest reliance is the soldiers of the third battalion, so let's pull out the tiger teeth first and see how majestic he is. Xiao Yao said in a deep voice.

After hesitating, Huang Shan said with a sad face: "There are some manpower in my house, but they can't resist the regular army at all. ”

"Don't worry about this, you just need to hand over the chosen commander to me. Xiao Yao said lightly.

"Little friend, wait a moment. ”

After speaking, Huang Shan left the study quickly.

After a short time, Huang Shan walked back with two burly, ordinary-looking men.

"Xiaoyou, these two are my confidants who have followed me for many years, and they are absolutely loyal. Huang Shan said.

"Kan Ze, Tian Wei, I've seen my son. The two of them bowed over and said.

Nodding, Xiao Yao asked in a deep voice, "Two brothers, the danger of this operation, I guess the city lord has made it clear to you, right?"

"Xu Jinsong deceives people too much, we are willing to serve the city lord, even if we die in battle, we will never betray the lord for glory. Kan Ze said with his fists clenched.

"Since this is the case, then we will give it a go, succeed in sharing the glory and wealth, and fail to be the companion of Jiuquan. Xiao Yao smiled.

"We are willing to obey the orders of the son. Tian Wei said.

"Without further ado, we'll go now. Turning his head to look at Huang Shan, Xiao Yao continued: "Trouble the city lord to lend me the token, and prepare three sets of battle armor for me." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Shan simply handed the city lord's order to Xiao Yao directly from his arms, paused, and said, "Everything depends on Xiaoyou to make the decision for me." ”

"Three days later, the Xu Mansion held a wedding, and during this period, the city lord must stabilize Xu Jinsong and don't let him be suspicious. Xiao Yao reminded.

"Got it. With a dry smile, Huang Shan continued: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what do you call Xiaoyou?"

"Purple Mang!"

After speaking, Xiao Yao turned around and left the study with the two.

......

The three of them rode on war horses and galloped wildly on the official road, and the dust was flying everywhere they passed......

After a night of running, I finally arrived at Luoyanling at noon the next day.

At this time, some soldiers can be seen everywhere on the official road sitting in the shade of trees, chatting, or sleeping, lazy in twos and threes, which is diametrically opposed to when they set out on the expedition.

When Xiao Yao was in office in Yangu City, he had considered exterminating the bandits in Luoyanling, so he knew a lot about the terrain and mountains here, and the main reason why this bandit force was huge was that it occupied the fork leading to Yangu City, Qingyan City, and Xinghua City.

Qingyan City's action to suppress bandits obviously made the Luoyanling bandits unable to figure out the truth and truth, and they didn't want to offend the officials or lose manpower, so they all retreated to the old nest to observe silently.

With this guarantee, the merchants of the three cities were like crazy, and took the opportunity to transport a large number of goods back and forth, which shows how afraid and panicked they were of the bandits.

"For so many years, Luoyanling has been choking the throat of the three cities, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Looking at the large and small vehicles and merchants coming and going on the official road, Xiao Yao couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"Officialdom is much more cruel than the battlefield, to put it bluntly, this is the evil result of the high-level leaders of the three cities. Kan Ze said bluntly.

Sighing, Xiao Yao said in a deep voice: "This evil fruit has bloomed, a long time ago, I heard that if you want to pass by, you must worship the mountain three days in advance to ensure the safety of people and goods, it is really a miracle in the world." ”

"If we take back the military power, we will definitely implore the city lord to send troops to destroy Luoyanling and contribute to the people. Kan Ze said solemnly.

With an indifferent smile, Xiao Yao said: "This is not a contribution, but the responsibility and mission of being an official." ”

"Childe is right, I lost my words. ”

Kan Ze and Tian Wei's cheeks flushed, and they hurriedly agreed.

"There's a barracks ahead, remember, try not to clash with the soldiers. Xiao Yao reminded.

"Don't worry, Childe, even if there is a conflict, we will swear to protect you to leave safely. Tian Wei said in a deep voice.

Frowning, Xiao Yao couldn't smile bitterly, it seems that the two of them have misunderstood, what they are really worried about is that these soldiers live together all year round, and their feelings are very deep, once there are casualties, they will inevitably arouse anger, and that kind of chain reaction is not a problem that can be solved by a token.
