A month later, in late May.

On this day, Tian Shaoqing drove his horse to a deep valley, which is the slit between the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty, so as long as he crosses this deep valley, the front is the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this is also the boundary of Sifang Town.

A few days ago, in Liulin Town, Liu Feng had said that Sifang Town was besieged by a large army, and he had received a letterhead from Lan Shaobao mentioning that the enemy soldiers had surrendered, but he still had doubts in his heart. I heard that the place where the enemy soldiers were encamped was in the west, which blocked the shortcut from the west to the Southern Tang.

Tian Shaoqing walked to the deep valley with doubts, but was surprised to find that the entire Sifang Town was swallowed up by the army, and it was not as quiet and stable as it was at the beginning. Observing in the dark, I saw people coming and going, all with happy faces, walking around with cups, drinking and punching, shouting, and I don't know what they were celebrating.

Tian Shaoqing felt strange in her heart, could it be that the enemy soldiers had already been captured as Lan Shaobao said? Now she only saw the villagers of Sifang Town? Because of the mixed flow of people in the town, the accents were mixed, and Tian Shaoqing had never been to Sifang Town, for a while, it was difficult for her to determine whether this group of people was really from Sifang Town.

The people of Sifang Town under Lan Shaobao already have martial arts customs, and it is really difficult to distinguish from the footwork and figure.

She was going to disguise herself to go into the town to investigate, but she was afraid that she would not know the enemy, and she was worried that she would show her feet before she met Lan Shaobao. was hesitating in doubt, his arm was suddenly grabbed, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Lan Shaobao, who had not been seen for many days.

Lan Shaobao was described as haggard and lonely at the moment, although the ribbon of his hair was fluttering in the wind, his hair was fluffy but could not be hidden, his sideburns were scattered on his shoulders, and his beard was full of cheeks, which was particularly messy. The corners of his mouth seemed to have been drunk, and the placket of his clothes was wet all around, and he could smell the strong smell of alcohol. The eyes were unusually clear and unfocused, and between the expressions, there was a lot of hopelessness in the eyes.

Compared with the usual heroic posture and elegant looks, if the two of them are judged, such a depressed appearance of the direct teaching Tian Shaoqing was taken aback, if it weren't for the fact that he was still the collared white silk sweatshirt inside, covered with a long cardigan, and tied with a double jade belt, so that people could get a glimpse of the style of the pavilion master, Tian Shaoqing really suspected that this was a wild man.

Her surprised look was quickly seen by Lan Shaobao, and just as she was about to ask, Lan Shaobao had already turned around and left. Before he could say more, Tian Shaoqing hurriedly followed him out of the sight of Sifang Town.

At dusk, the two arrived in the territory of Nantang and entered the border city, and found an inn to settle down on the spot, and Lan Shaobao told the truth what had happened in Sifang Town in the past few days.

On the same day, he sent a number of letters to Guanzhong on horseback, but who knew that each letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply. At this time, the attendant Chang An came to report that a famous tooth in the Great Zhou would contact the enemy camp of Dao Cheng Xianjun.

So he didn't stop, and when Naya was about to return, Lan Shaobao intercepted it together with Leng Hanyu, and concocted it in the same way, and also handed over the invitation letter, and asked Ya to talk about it in the Sifang Pavilion.

The tooth general's name is Zhang Shun, a tooth general under Han Tong, the envoy of the Song Zhou Dynasty of the Great Zhou State, and the tooth army has always been the most taxed army in the feudal town, and it is managed by the Jiedu envoy who sent his henchmen to take charge, this Zhang Shun can be sent here by Han Tong, it can be seen that Han Tong also intends to cooperate with Daocheng Xianjun, and the Great Zhou obviously has the intention of annexing the Southern Tang Dynasty. But no matter what the outcome, Sifang Town will become a battlefield to be trampled on, and eventually become an innocent victim.

In this case, in order for the Sifang Pavilion to gain the first opportunity, it must convince this Zhang Shun to change his statement in front of the Jiedu to make Han Tong, and the envoy to make Han Tong dispel the idea of cooperating with Daocheng Xianjun.

However, as the envoy of the Great Zhou Festival, Han Tong has a very high official position, and he is not only a Songzhou Jiedu envoy, but also concurrently serves as the colonel of the Sixth Army of Fengguo Zuo, the assassin of Leizhou, the defense envoy of Yongmu Erzhou, and the inspection of the right wing in Beijing.

Since he saw the opportunity, he naturally would not let it go easily, in other words, Han Tong also saw the pros and cons of this situation very clearly, and made a decision, which must be inevitable and difficult to change.

Zhang Shun is a proud general under Han Tong's account, and of course he knows Han Tong's thoughts, so Zhang Shun came with a purpose and task, and the so-called order is in his body, and he must have the right to weigh in his heart, and if he wants to change his mind again, there is little hope.

This Zhang Shun is in his early thirties, with deep eyes and a high nose, strong physical strength, and great bravery, and it is not easy to capture. Leng Hanyu said: "Zhang Shun is short-tempered and extremely stubborn, if he sets a good thing, others repeatedly entangle, he will be bored and annoyed, such as trying to capture him, and then talk to him, with Zhang Shun's fiery temper, there is no room for negotiation." If he whispers to him, and sees no one in his eyes, he will despise him. ”

And that's where it gets tricky.

Lan Shaobao asked himself if he was not a brave general, nor was he a person who could speak well, at most he could be regarded as a scholar who could give advice, or a young guest who yearned to travel all over the world.

On the day of the interception, Lan Shaobao saw that Zhang Shun ruthlessly refused the invitation of the Sifang Pavilion, because he was anxious for a while, he replied coldly: "Now it is a matter of life and death for more than 10,000 people in Sifang Town, I will never let Zhang Yajiang leave, this matter cannot be interfered by a third party, if you interfere at will, Shaobao will kill you now, and he will immediately send the masters of the eighty-one branch of the Sifang Pavilion to kill Han Tong, and the masters of the eighty-one branches of the eighty-one altars will come out together, monitoring day and night, Ren Hantong He has three heads and six arms, and it will be difficult to escape!"

Who knows, this intimidation immediately annoyed Zhang Shun, and immediately scolded: "Bold boy, dare to blackmail the general!"

Lan Shaobao and Leng Hanyu had no choice but to try their best to capture Zhang Shun alive, and threaten Han Tong with Zhang Shun's life, turning passive into active, making Han Tong worry about sending troops to attack.

Han Tong loves the general, Leng Hanyu has already known about it, so under the disadvantage of not being able to negotiate, capturing Zhang Shun alive in exchange for chips may make Han Tong worried.

Zhang Shun wanted to directly kill the two, in case the hacking failed, he fled back to Songzhou to inform Jiedu to make Han Tong a good defense. Or, send troops as soon as possible to help Dao Cheng Immortal Jun and break through the Sifang Pavilion in one fell swoop.

Lan Shaobao naturally looked at Zhang Shun's mind in his eyes, and looked at Leng Hanyu with his eyes, and the two attacked at the same time, one left and one right, and worked together to capture Zhang Shun.

The cold jade fast sword was sharp and fast, like thunder, and immediately seized the air to lock Zhang Shun's upper body acupoint, forcing Zhang Shun to be overwhelmed, and gaining opportunity for Lan Shaobao.

As soon as he got started, he rolled along the ground, dragged Zhang Shun's legs with his grappling hands, and held down Zhang Shun's knee points with lightning speed, and used Leng Hanyu to entangle Zhang Shun's gap in the third way, and pulled his hands violently, forcing Zhang Shun's legs to move forward, and could only passively meet Leng Hanyu's attack.

But Zhang Shun was born as a military general, and his courage was not in vain, when Lan Shaobao dragged him back, he quickly adjusted the pulse of his limbs, and his leg strength recovered in just an instant. I saw that his body was firmly rooted on the ground, and the old cow was howling with all his strength, forming a resistance with the power of Lan Shaobao's dragging.

At this time, Lan Shaobao's strength like an old cow could no longer make Zhang Shun move half a step, so how could he talk about knocking Zhang Shun down?

Compared with divine power, Lan Shaobao's body shape is not as brave as Zhang Shun, naturally inferior, a light kung fu can not come in handy at this time, there is no chance to perform, can only try to use all his strength to continue to drag Zhang Shun's legs, seeing that it still does not work, too hard, his strength was completely eaten by Zhang Shun, and he couldn't help but quickly change his hands to Zhang Shun's ankles, trying to lift Zhang Shun upside down from behind, and then knock him down.

Who knew that at this critical moment, the cold jade long sword slashed at Zhang Shun's blade, the two could not compare, Zhang Shun borrowed the power of cold cold jade, and the whole person fell backwards, his feet rubbed the ground and moved straight back, and the dust suddenly wiped up half a foot high.

As a result of rubbing against the ground, a large amount of debris flew out along Zhang Shun's boots. In the blink of an eye, two continuous footprints were wiped out on the ground, which were more than two feet long, and Zhang Shun was still standing.

Lan Shaobao was thrown away several feet in a row and sat down on the ground.

At this time, Leng Hanyu also looked a little weak, and saw that the sweat on his forehead was dripping continuously, Lan Shaobao saw this and got up, and flew forward like an electric switch, and his palms were ready to attack, and he slashed Zhang Shun's neck together. He was accurate at a glance, his strength was steady, and he borrowed the momentum of thunder, Zhang Shun was caught off guard, and he didn't have time to get rid of the cold jade, so he fainted.

As expected, although Zhang Shun was imprisoned, he did not let go. Even if Leng Hanyu stated that the Southern Tang Dynasty Lieutenant immediately led troops to rescue the Sifang Pavilion, it could not make Zhang Shun afraid.

Zhang Shun had met Zhu Youzhen in person, and he had already learned that Liu Feng was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible to bring reinforcements so quickly, so it was in vain for Leng Hanyu and Lan Shaobao to explain it. Coupled with Lan Shaobao's letter to Liu Feng, there was no reply for a long time, and the two of them were also anxious.

The two had to pin their hopes on Han Tong, but whether Song Zhou Jiedu would make Han Tong cherish Zhang Shun's life and not send troops for the time being, Lan Shaobao and Leng Hanyu really didn't know the bottom in their hearts. Outside the Quartet Pavilion, Yan Qianchong led the troops to call for battle, Huyan Yingchun and Shui Ruyun resisted for days, how long can they resist?

In the end, Lan Shaobao and Leng Hanyu decided to repair the book and drag Han Tong first.

Unexpectedly, on this day, the eighty-one branch altars under the Sifang Pavilion and the forty-two towns were in turmoil, and the news that Lan Yingxiang had passed away was leaked.
