The next day, the good news came, Tengda besieged Jianjiang for an hour, and the Zhonghe congregation bandits were cornered and tied up Duan Xingzhi to surrender. Timur was overjoyed to receive this result in his first use of troops, and ordered Duan Xingzhi to be escorted to him for immediate interrogation.

That period of Xingzhi looked haggard, old, and bald, and he couldn't tell that he was the former lord of Dali. Goshawk thought to himself: "I heard that this man is known as a benevolent king, and if the Tartars want to kill him, I can quietly let him go." But he offered a plan to capture him, and now he has to save people, only to feel that he is acting upside down and without rules, and he can't help but secretly scold himself for being confused.

Timur said with a straight face: "Duan Xingzhi, you used to be an enemy of our empire, and you disobeyed and committed heinous crimes. The emperor is magnanimous and forgives you, who knows that you are mad, and you will take revenge, and you actually rebelled and intended to murder the king, and now you are caught by us again, what else do you have to say?"

Duan Xingzhi was tortured, his heart was long gone, and once he was intimidated, he was unable to give up, shouting: "I recruit, I recruit, I will recruit anything!" I was forced to be helpless, coerced by Gao Taicheng's wicked person, so I had no choice but to stay with them. ”

Timur knew that this Gao Taicheng was the son of Gao Taixiang, who was the son of Gao Taixiang, and after the death of Dali, his whereabouts were unknown, and he couldn't imagine that he was still alive in the world. He asked, "Where is Gao Taicheng now?"

Duan Xingzhi shouted: "As soon as they saw that the town was besieged, several leaders all fled. ”

Goshawk asked, "Are there any people from the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

Dali Duan was also a martial arts family, Duan Xingzhi is not a descendant, and his martial arts are poor, but his knowledge is still there, and he shouted: "Yes, that 'discerning' Ming Siqi is also among them, and there are still three hundred masters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, but except for a few masters." The rest of the people did not escape, and were either killed by artillery fire, killed by officers and soldiers, or surrendered on their knees. The little prince is extraordinary, and the art of war is like a god, which is really rare in a hundred generations. ”

The goshawk was surprised and thought to himself: "Lao Tzu's self-defeating behavior has killed all these shields." Now that he wants to find that Duan clan fortress, won't Lao Tzu have to survive by himself?"

Timur paced back and forth, feigning annoyance. That Duan Xingzhi was in a cold sweat, and his heart trembled, and he only heard Timur say: "Then why did Gao Taicheng arrest you? The Ten Thousand Beasts Hall has a close relationship with my royal family, so why do you want to plot rebellion? You honestly recruit me, otherwise don't blame me for being tortured." ”

Duan Xingzhi only wants to live, how can he care about the word integrity? Immediately said: "Yes, yes." The villain listened to what Ming Siqi and Gao Taicheng said, and it seemed that Ming Siqi was going to the Yongtian High Cliff, but a few years ago an earthquake, the high cliff road was blocked. It doesn't work anymore. He wanted Gao Taicheng to lead the way, bypassing the Yongtian High Cliff and heading to the Willow Valley, but Gao Taicheng said, "We are entrusted by Ahma. You are too late to come, but as long as you don't delay the big thing, I won't blame you. Now that you are asking me like this, do you have to do your own thing, and ignore the covenant?'"

The officials next to him listened to the word "Ahma". Everyone was shocked and shouted in unison: "Ahma?

Timur said angrily: "Ahma, a dog thief, has always been at odds with his father, but after all, everyone is a Mongolian man, and his father is quite tolerant of him, how can he be so bold and dare to plot to frame this king?"

Goshawk didn't know who this Ahma was, but the audience shouted and talked for a long time, and there were some eyebrows in their hearts, this person must be a court official, and the real gold prince was against him, so he wanted to kill Timur here, this matter was a Tartar infighting, and the goshawk was happy to stand by, but at this moment, he was slightly partial to Timur, so he secretly watched from the sidelines.

Duan Xingzhi said again: "They can't trust the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, so they let them surrender their names, break into the prison at night, and rescue the villain." ”

Timur gritted his teeth and frowned, and muttered, "Ahmad is not a stupid person, just killing me, not only will not damage my father's status, but will cause my grandfather to be angry and suspicious, why did he take the risk?"

Goshawk said: "Little prince, he has a plan to kill two birds with one stone. For one, I guess the real golden prince must be in poor health and easily alarmed. If you fall in Yunnan, your father will be in turmoil, and he will be devastated, and he will be afraid that he will never recover. ”

Timur remembered his father's condition, and there were indeed hidden dangers, and said angrily: "What you said is right, this Ahmad is not evil. ”

Goshawk said again: "Both, since you are a heavy responsibility, the emperor will definitely have high hopes for you, if you disappear in the chaos, Dali is in a mess, Zhonghe will take advantage of the situation to revolt, your grandfather is sad, I am afraid that he will blame the real golden prince for teaching his son, and you are incompetent." Since Ahma is not on good terms with the crown prince, he will naturally benefit from it. ”

Timur was analyzed by the goshawk in this way, and he saw the cause and effect clearly. He thought to himself: "Then Ahmad is so arrogant, could it be that he really has the intention of rebellion? No, no, my grandfather's prestige is so great that all his tribes have surrendered, and the reason why the rest of the khanates have submitted to my Great Yuan is because of the power of my grandfather's army." He just wanted to bring down my father, and he was in power from now on, and he had peace of mind, and he had a way to get rid of everything in between. For example, today you will bless my father and son, let me see through the enemy's conspiracy, and I captured Duan Xingzhi and was about to send him back to Kaiping, but instead I would send Ahma's army. ”

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and said, "Put Duan Xingzhi in prison, take care of it, don't let the bandits rob it again." After a pause, he said: "Now there are only a few people left in the Neutralization Society, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall is not a problem. But you still have to cheer me up, don't let up a little bit. Last night's meritorious soldiers, all the merits will be reported, and another 20 yuan will be rewarded!"

Teng Daxi said: "Thank you for the grace of the little prince." The rest of the ministers were also full of words.

The goshawk came out of the main hall, always worried in his heart, wandering around the palace, thinking in his mind: "Lao Tzu helped the little prince of the little Tartar to harm this group of rebels, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the hall master." However, the Neutralization Society was not loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, nor was it allied with our Jianglong Gang, but was a pawn used by the Tartar Prime Minister, and it was not difficult to settle the matter. ”

After a while, he thought again: "That Chang Xuan is bent on currying favor with Xiang'er, and his plot is very suspicious. I have to talk to Xiang'er, as long as I don't make Chang Xuan suspicious, the flies won't stop me. ”

He had made up his mind, went around in a circle, and came to Chang Xuan's house, sure enough, Xiang'er and Dong Yao were accompanying each other inside, and Chang Xuan was lying on the sickbed. The injured appearance is extremely realistic, and he pretends to be hard, so Shuangshu doesn't have to worry, but his face is as white as paper, Xiang'er and Dong Yao are all heartbroken, where are they willing to leave?

The goshawk coughed outside and said, "Disciple, I have something to say to you." ”

The fragrance has disappeared. Listening to what the goshawk said solemnly, he shook Chang Xuan's palm, reluctantly walked out of the room, and asked, "Master, what do you have to say, I have to take care of Brother Chang Xuan quickly." ”

The goshawk said, "Come with me, I have a few important things to say to you." ”

Xiang'er followed the goshawk for a long time, and came to a garden in the distance, where the goshawk saw no one around. said: "Xiang'er, Master's previous behavior was wrong, and it really shouldn't have annoyed you. Now I admit my mistake to you. ”

Xiang'er smiled and said, "Master is really troublesome, I am your apprentice, how can you apologize to me? It's that I am rude to Master and don't understand the rules." It shouldn't, it shouldn't be. ”

Goshawks are not good at beating around the bush and talking, and they say a few words of greeting. said: "That Chang Xuan is too good to you, I always feel very weird, he has nothing to do, he must have bad intentions." You'll have to watch out for him in the future. ”

Xiang'er couldn't help but hear him mention this matter again, and she rushed up angrily, and said with hatred: "Brother Chang Xuan's treatment of me, I naturally know clearly. And I don't need to be taught what I should do to him. ”

Goshawk said softly: "Xiang'er, you are a good boy, knowledgeable, sober-minded, and born to know right and wrong, good and evil, so the master usually doesn't care much about you." But the friends you have made in your life are all people who treat you sincerely, such as Chang Xuan, such a scheming person, you still don't know it."

Xiang'er couldn't bear it anymore, and said indignantly: "I just like Brother Chang Xuan, what do you say? He looked at my eyes, and I could see that he also took me to heart." Although the two of us are young, we are reluctant to part with each other. He gave his life to save me, and I naturally loved him with all my heart. ”

Seeing her young age, the goshawk couldn't help but shudder and feel funny, but she was speechless for a while.

Xiang'er looked at him, thinking that he intended to make fun of him, so she was even more angry, and gritted her teeth and said: "I know that I am not good-looking, not as good as Dong Yao, and not as good as Sister Xue, but Brother Chang Xuan, he just likes me." You can look down on me and dislike me, but in the eyes of Brother Chang Xuan, I" She had completely opened her heart at this time, regardless of it, and said all the words that had been buried in her heart for many years, her heart was angry, and her little face turned red.

When the goshawk saw that she had given up on herself, he felt pity for her, took her little hand, and hurriedly said, "Who said that you are not beautiful? When he spoke, he naturally regarded Xiang'er as his daughter, comforting with his heart, and his tone was extremely gentle and affectionate, exactly the same as when he spoke to Li Shuxiu.

Seeing the goshawk like this, her brain was dizzy, and her heart was pounding, thinking: "Why did he say these things to me?"

Goshawk didn't know that she was already crooked, and said to herself: "That Chang Xuan, like me, also has a lot of secrets, although it is very good to you, but it is always unsettling. I can't let him get away with it, I have to protect you and don't let him touch a finger of you. ”

Xiang'er's body trembled, her brain was dazed, and she felt that the master in front of her had become a little terrifying, and her eyes looked at her like a wolf and a tiger, this was the real "ulterior motive".

Seeing that she was afraid, the goshawk thought that she was moved by her own words, and said, "Xiang'er, listen to me, from now on, don't deal with this person again." No, no, this person may come to pester you when he sees that you are estranged. From now on you will sleep in my room, and I will keep watch all night to keep this man."

Xiang'er screamed, pushed the goshawk away, and ran away, shouting as she ran: "You are my master, how can you have such thoughts about me? Don't come here, I don't want to see you again." ”

Goshawk hurriedly said: "I am your master, and it is most common to take care of you like this." ”

Xiang'er said angrily: "You are as virtuous as your righteous brother, and you are all beating your own idea, get out, get out!"

The goshawk came to his senses and was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, but if he caught up rashly, he was afraid that the misunderstanding would be deeper, and he stood in place for a moment, laughing and laughing, and shaking his head again and again. (To be continued.) )
