According to Tan Sihuai, this morning, he received an urgent message from the Ministry of Rites. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the urgent news, it was said that there were three princes and national teachers of the northerners, carrying the national letter of the northern lord, coming from the north and entering the Central Plains, wanting to negotiate peace with the Central Plains court. The urgent news also said that the three princes of the northerners and the national teacher and their entourage are expected to arrive in Xiangyang City before noon today.

The Ministry of Rites summoned him, and Tan Sihuai immediately went to greet the third prince of the northerners. In the urgent news, it was repeatedly emphasized that the arrival of the third prince of the northerners and others this time was related to whether the Central Plains imperial court and the northerners would continue to fight or make peace, and the relationship between the two countries was extremely important. Therefore, in the midst of the urgent news, the Ministry of Rites strictly ordered that after Tan Sihuai received the three princes of the northerners and the national teacher, he must treat them with courtesy, and ensure their safety.

After Tan Sihuai received the person, he reported to the Beijing Division, and the Ministry of Rites would send a special person to welcome the three princes of the North and the national teacher to the Beijing Division to discuss the matter of peace.

After Tan Sihuai received the news, he immediately set off and personally took a sedan chair to the north city gate, wanting to arrange for the contact with the little prince of the north. Halfway through, the sound of bangs was heard from the direction of the north gate.

Tan Sihuai was worried that the warning at the north city gate was related to the little prince of the north, so he hurriedly abandoned the sedan chair, changed to a fast horse, galloped over, and saw the city gate slowly closing from a distance. Tan Sihuai looked out from the city gate and saw two groups of people outside the city confronting each other. One of them was really wearing a northerner costume.

Tan Sihuai was worried that these northerners were the little prince of the northerners and his party, so he hurriedly stopped everyone in order to prevent disputes caused by misunderstandings.

While listening to Tan Sihuai explain the reason for the incident, Zhu Jian secretly glanced at Liu Yunfeng and Zhang Ming a few times. The three of them all understood that what Tan Sihuai said must be untrue.

There are at least two of them.

One of them is that among these northerners, there should indeed be a little prince and national teacher of the northerners. This matter cannot be faked. After all, these northerners are right in front of them, and Tan Sihuai is lying. We'll find out later. Moreover, not to mention the entire Central Plains, even if it is just in this Xiangyang City, there is no shortage of people who recognize these two prominent people in the North.

The second thing is. These northerners, coming this time, are afraid that they really carried some national letters. Otherwise, the Central Plains is at war with the Northland, if it is not officially sent by the Northern Lord. With the identity of envoys, no matter how bold these people are, they dare not blatantly appear in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

There should be at least two of them.

One of them is that these northerners must not have just arrived outside Xiangyang City. These people may have kept their tracks under wrap well. However, Zhu Jian has not received any news from the Beijing division since yesterday, and he is already vigilant.

Coupled with Zhang Ming's reminder, Zhu Jian and Liu Yunfeng already believed in their hearts after seeing the movements of the flying eagles inside and outside Xiangyang, those flying eagles were the unique Haidongqing of the northern dignitaries.

Hai Dongqing is a god horse. But it's not smart enough to be away from its owner for so long and so far away and still be able to intercept the bird's message on its own. Since Hai Dongqing has already arrived here, and has blocked the air communication since yesterday, it must be that these northerners have already arrived around Xiangyang. These northerners may have even entered Xiangyang City before.

Another untrue is what Tan Sihuai said, he only received a temporary summons from the Ministry of Rites this morning, and learned that these northerners came to Xiangyang with national credentials.

If these northerners, as envoys to the peace, come openly, even if they have come here from Taiyuan. There are also thousands of miles away, all along the way, and it is impossible to have no news at all.

Thousands of miles away, even if these northerners go fast. It will also take a few days. And in the past few days, whether it is Liu Yunfeng, or the Zhu family brothers, or the Dugu family and the Sun family, they have not received any news about the northerners' envoys entering the Central Plains.

At this moment, these northerners suddenly appeared outside Xiangyang City. matter. There must be something else going on.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Yunfeng, Zhu Jian and Zhang Ming had already thought about these things clearly. In the hearts of the three of them, whether it was the true intention of these northerners, or Tan Sihuai, the prefect of Xiangyang with a good official reputation, they all had doubts.

Liu Yunfeng and others did not expect badly, Tan Sihuai's words are indeed true and false.

One of the real places is that these northerners do carry the national letter of the northern lord.

However, even this national letter is just a talisman for these northerners to use in the Central Plains.

After all, the northerners were outside Taiyuan and had been confronting the Central Plains army for months. Today, the two countries are at war. If there is no justified name, these northerners will enter the Central Plains, and once they are discovered by the Central Plains, they will be attacked immediately.

Therefore, after receiving the news from Qin Mu, the northern lord discussed with his advisers and made a plan to make this group of people carry the national letter and enter the Central Plains as official envoys. It's just that this group of people has no intention of negotiating peace with the Central Plains Imperial Court at all. Their purpose was just to use this as an excuse to come to Xiangyang, meet with the personnel arranged by Qin Mu, and then find an opportunity to intercept and kill Liu Yunfeng and others.

And what Tan Sihuai said that the Ministry of Rites would send people to welcome these northerners to Beijing is just a lie. Sangzan and the others will not enter Beijing, and no one from the Ministry of Rites will come. All of this is Mr. Fan's pre-arranged rhetoric for Sangzan and the others and Tan Sihuai.

Another truth is that among these people, there are indeed national teachers from the north.

The handbook was robbed by Meng Wuji, and the north lord also knew that the matter was very important. In order to ensure the success of Xiangyang's interception, the northern lord specially ordered the northerner national division to bring a large number of masters.

This northerner national teacher is called Sangzan. Among the known masters in the Northland, Sanzan is recognized as the first.

The first people who came with Sangzan this time were his three disciples, who were called Xiao Xiao'er, Chi Chi'er, and Toto'er. Toto'er is the third disciple of the Beiren National Teacher, who once entered the Central Plains with the Black and White Shuangsha and the Wanshi Old Demon, and had a secret meeting with Qin Mu's envoy in the territory of Wuzhi.

After the handwritten book was robbed by Meng Wuji, Toto'er, Black and White Shuangsha and Wanshi Old Demon chased and killed all the way. Although several people seriously injured Meng Wuji, Totoer himself also stabbed Meng Wuji in the back, but in the end, Meng Wuji escaped.

This time, Sangzan personally went out, and Toto'er was guilty of losing his handwriting, so he naturally wanted to follow and atone for his sins. Xiao Xiao'er and Chi Chi'er are Sangzan's eldest and second disciples respectively. The cultivation of the two is even higher than that of Totoer.

In addition to Sangzan's three disciples, there were also eight other great masters who followed Sangzan this time.

Four of them were famous warriors among the Northlands. Two of them are the two who have fought with Zhu Jian and Zhu Yan respectively before. The one who bears the mace is named Batu. The one who was entangled with Zhu Yan. It is called Baru. Although this Balu Shicai has been fighting with Zhu Yan with his bare hands, what he makes the most ferocious is the sledgehammer on his back.

The other two are called Bagen and Suhe respectively. Made. but a rod of iron. Su He's envoy is two short axes.

These four people are all ten thousand enemies among the northerners.

The other four are unique condor archers in the Northlands.

The northerners are good at riding and shooting, and there are many people who can bend bows and shoot eagles. But it's not like you're able to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. You can be called an eagle shooter.

In terms of archery, it is difficult to pick one out of the thousands of carefully selected archery masters in the Northland who can meet the requirements of a condor archer.

For a true condor archer, superb riding skills and superb archery skills are only two of his most basic skills.

In addition to his extremely high riding skills and archery skills, in terms of strength, skill and adaptability, the Condor Archers are far superior to ordinary warriors.

As a condor archer, the other most important requirement is absolute loyalty to the northern lord. This loyalty. It's just for the North Lord alone. If it weren't for the approval of the North Lord, even the North Lord's favorite woman or heir would not be able to call any of the Condor Archers.

In addition to these twelve masters, there are three masters, Black and White Shuangsha and Wanshi Old Demon.

In addition to these fifteen masters, the remaining ten horsemen accompanying them, including one carver tamer, are also long-established masters among the northerners.

Not only that, Sang Zan and the others also specially carried six Haidongqing to detect information and intercept the other party's communication.

All of these people are carefully selected. Not only are they all very skilled. And at least they are all fluent in the Central Plains language.

It can be said that since the North Lord ascended to the throne, he has never dispatched such a strong lineup at one time to instigate a volley.

The reason why the north lord came to intercept and kill Liu Yunfeng and others with such a big hand. First, because the handwriting is related to whether the northerners can successfully get the things agreed with Qin Mu, and finally achieve the ambition of the northern lord to unify the Central Plains, and at the same time, it is also to avenge the little prince who is the most beloved by the northern lord. Among the three, there is also the intention of coming to the Central Plains and waiting for the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain.

This group of northerners. After leaving Taiyuan, he sneaked all the way to Taiyuan. With the skills of these people, and six Haidongqing assisted in the air, coupled with the reception secretly arranged by Mr. Fan, until they arrived in Xiangyang City a few days ago and had a secret meeting with Tan Sihuai, with the strength of Zhu Dingbang, Lu Gongyi, and Zeng Pu, they were not able to detect their traces.

After Tan Sihuai saw this group of northerners, he was shocked at the first moment when he learned the strength of the other party. Although Mr. Fan's arraignment was extremely serious, and he asked him to fully cooperate and be sure to take down Liu Yunfeng and the others in Xiangyang City, but after seeing the lineup of these northerners, Tan Sihuai really realized the seriousness of this matter.

Tan Sihuai was secretly frightened at the same time, but also felt excited. Although Mr. Fan did not explain to Tan Sihuai what other arrangements he had, Tan Sihuai knew that since even the northerners had dispatched such a lineup, it could be seen how important the things he wanted to participate in this time were.

Thinking that when Mr. Fan sent someone to meet him this time, he immediately pointed out his past identity and the things he was still doing in secret with several brothers, Tan Sihuai felt cold in his vest.

But since Qin Mu allowed himself to participate in such an important matter, it was obvious that he no longer just regarded himself as a marginal person in Qin Mu's party. As long as this matter is done well, Tan Sihuai believes that the day when he will soar is coming soon.

After learning about Sangzan and the others' next plan, Tan Sihuai was shocked and inexplicable, and at the same time, he was so excited that he was about to tremble. If the plan goes well, in Xiangyang City, not only will Liu Yunfeng and others die here, but even the Zhu family brothers, and even the Baoguo Mansion and Taibao and Taifu behind them will be counted.

As soon as this major event is completed, the influence of Baoguo Gong, Taibao, and Taifu will definitely be greatly weakened. And the power of Qin Mu's party will be even more prosperous.

The big husband is born at the right time. Tan Sihuai knew that as one of the people directly in charge of this contest, as long as he was within his own jurisdiction, he would complete this operation perfectly, and the moment of hearing it would be just around the corner.

After some discussion, Tan Sihuai first followed Mr. Fan's instructions and asked Sangzan and the others to first block the Feishu inside and outside Xiangyang City and around Liu Yunfeng and others.

At the same time, with the support of Mr. Fan's steady stream of news, Tan Sihuai had a clear grasp of the whereabouts of Liu Yunfeng and others. When Zhu Jian, Liu Yunfeng and others settled at the post station yesterday, Sang Zan and others also secretly sneaked out of Xiangyang City and settled in another place arranged by Tan Sihuai outside the city. Only the old demon of Wanshi is still lurking in the city as planned.

When Liu Yunfeng and the others were about to arrive at the north gate of Xiangyang City, Sang Zan and the others suddenly galloped in. At this time, Zhu Jian, Liu Yunfeng and others had already arrived outside Xiangyang City, and the big net set up by the North Lord, Qin Mu and others had been slowly opened. Even if Sang Zan and the others reveal their identities at this moment, Zhu Jian, Liu Yunfeng and others will not have time to make contingency arrangements.

After Sangzan and the others arrived outside the city gate, they saw Zhu Yan, Zhu Jian, Tiezhu and others immediately blocking the city gate, so Sangzan ordered Balu and Batu to pretend to be unable to close the momentum and rushed forward.

This collision, on the one hand, is to test the combat power of Zhu Jian and others, and more importantly, it is to lay a foreshadowing for the next plan in advance. (To be continued.) )
