All the way to Lianyun City, Zhao Wuyan found that almost all the leaders above the general level went to attend the 50th birthday banquet of King Penglai, and they did not return for three days. This discovery made the prince feel cold in his hands and feet. After so long without all the generals returning to the camp, there may be only two possibilities, one is that all of them were subdued by King Penglai, and the other is that they were imprisoned or killed by King Penglai. Neither of these possibilities is a good sign.

The prefect glanced at King Penglai and said cautiously, "Prince, we have just returned from the Qin generals stationed outside Lianyun City. General Qin also went to attend the birthday banquet of King Penglai, and he has not returned yet. ”

Zhao Wuyan didn't show too surprised looks, his eyes looked at the sky, a crow croaked and flew by, until the crow flew into the distance and couldn't see the shadow, Zhao Wuyan retracted his gaze, sighed, and said, "I expected this to happen."

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked in from outside, his expression was a little panicked, after seeing Zhao Wuyan, he walked up to Zhao Wuyan in a few steps, and shouted: "Prince......" His eyes turned around on the little fat man, Ding Hao and the prefect, revealing a look that wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhao Wuyan knew that this personal guard might have something important to report to him, and it would not be easy for others to hear it. So, he nodded, and the guard leaned into his ear and whispered something.

After listening to the guard's words, Zhao Wuyan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "What?"

The guard nodded slowly, indicating that the prince had heard correctly. The little fat man could see that the guard's face was also very ugly, and he didn't know what was going on.

The prince looked at the prefect and the little fat man with a dark face, and for a while, he did not speak. From Zhao Wuyan's frowning brows and slightly flustered eyes, the little fat man guessed that something big had happened.

"Prince, what's wrong?" the prefect couldn't help but ask the prince.

The prince's gaze gradually returned to its former depth, like a pool of autumn water, glowing with ripples. Those panicked colors are also fleeting. He looked at the sycamore tree in the courtyard and was silent and did not immediately answer the prefect's words. This plane tree, planted here, has only been a few years, and the body of the tree is less than the thickness of an adult's waist. Compared to the hundred-year-old plane tree in the Penglai Palace, it is much worse.

On the plane tree, a palm-sized leaf has turned yellow. But it didn't fall, it swayed in the wind and rain, making a rustling sound, like the painful groan/groan of an old man on his deathbed. An autumn wind blew, ending its suffering. The leaves dance with the autumn breeze. When the leaves fluttered to the ground, they blew a few steps forward with the breeze. Finally, it got stuck in a crack in a stone and didn't move. This is the leaf of the sycamore tree, which seems to be relieved, quietly waiting to wither.

The prince's eyes kept chasing the fallen leaves, until it stood still, then he withdrew his eyes, looked at the three little fat men, and said slowly: "This day has finally come!"

"Brother Zhao, what happened?" the little fat man also asked with a puzzled expression.

"King Penglai has rebelled. Zhao Wuyan said lightly, as if what he said just now had nothing to do with him. The little fat man listened, but he was shocked, and he knew it very well in his heart. The rebellion of King Penglai is not only related to Zhao Wuyan, but also has a great relationship. It is even related to the century-old foundation of Tianhua and the national fortune of Tianhua in the future.

When the prefect heard this, he was stunned like a thunderbolt, and then muttered to himself: "King Penglai is going to rebel?"

The crown prince Zhao Wuyan nodded and said slowly: "I just received a tip-off that the father and son of the king of Penglai are ambitious, and they took advantage of the birthday banquet system to drug the food and imprison all the generals. Now, Zao Wou-Ki is coming to Lianyun City with 200,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing this, even the little fat man's face changed a little. Lianyun City is a port city in Tianhua by water. Here, Jin can seize several nearby towns and approach the capital. You can hold on to the fortress and even cross to Fuso and other countries by sea. Once Zao Wou-Ki captured Lianyun City, it would be tantamount to a tiger with wings for them. When the time comes, it will be the thousands of people and innocent people in the world who will suffer. Such a thing categorically cannot be tolerated for him to happen.

"Then what should I do?" the little fat man was a layman in war, and hurriedly asked the prince.

In the prince's deep gaze, a trace of murderous intent flashed, and in an instant, he returned to normal. The prince opened his mouth and said slowly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." It's a pity that I'm a good woman now, and it's hard to cook without rice. There are more than 300,000 elite soldiers stationed outside Lianyun City, but there is no general who can command. With this 300,000 army, I'm afraid I will feel like a plate of scattered sand. In the face of Zao Wou-ki's army of 200,000, he will be defeated. Saying that, Zhao Wuyan sighed, as if he was worried about Lianyun City and even Baisheng in the world.

When the little fat man heard this, his heart moved, he looked at Zhao Wuji, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Brother Zhao, I have three friends who can lead troops to fight. Perhaps, let them try to lead the troops to repel Zao Wou-Ki. ”

When Zhao Wuyan heard this, his eyes widened, revealing a look of excitement, and he said loudly, "Where is your friend?" Can you bring me over now?"

The little fat man said: "They are on the nearby mountain, if Brother Zhao agrees, I will bring them over to meet you." ”

Zhao Wuyan listened to the little fat man's words, walked up to him, put his hands on the left and right shoulders of the little fat man, looked at him with a pair of eyes full of expectation, and said gratefully: "Little fatty, then this time it is all up to you, for the sake of the people of Lianyun City, for the sake of the people of the world, you must find all these talented people!"

The little fat man was also very grateful to Zhao Wuyan for his kindness, and he nodded. Seeing this, the prefect had already asked Ding Hao to bring a black high-headed horse. Although, the speed of the little fat man Edgeworth is very fast. However, in order not to shock the world, he still accepted the horse brought over by Ding Hao, who was ordered by the prefect. Fortunately, the place he is going to this time is not far from Lianyun City, at least it is only the time for a stick of incense.

The place where the little fat man is going this time is Vulture Mountain. Liu Tian, the three sworn brothers on Vulture Mountain. Guan Changsheng and Zhang Heixiao are all brave and good at fighting, and they can defeat hundreds of warriors with one enemy. It's just that he didn't know how to tie up with the chief at the beginning, so he was frustrated and fell into the situation of occupying the mountain as the king. Now, there are no more available generals in the barracks. The little fat man suddenly remembered them, and hoped that they could go out of the mountain this time and make their own contribution to Tianhua and the common people in the world.

The little fat man rode his horse all the way, not caring about the hardships of the bumps and fatigue of sitting on horseback, and did not dare to stop along the way, and soon, he arrived at Vulture Mountain. The scenery on Vulture Mountain is still the same, but autumn is approaching, and the branches and leaves of various trees are beginning to turn slightly yellow. In the cold air of the autumn wind, it added a bit of solemnity to the desolate Vulture Mountain.

The little fat man saw from a distance the wooden house where Liu Tian's three brothers lived, located in the mountains and trees. The rocks, flowers and trees next to it are all natural, but this wooden house is manually sawn into planks with wood and then nailed together. It is easy for outsiders to see from the shape of the wooden house that it has been artificially made, which forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding natural scene, and also makes it seem out of place in the embrace of nature, or it can be said to stand out from the crowd.

When the little fat man arrived at the door of the wooden house, he jumped off his horse and shouted loudly inside, "Brother Liu." Second Brother Guan and Third Brother Zhang, are you here? I've come to see you!"

As soon as the little fat man finished speaking, he heard a crackling sound in the wooden house. Then, the wooden door was violently pushed open. Fortunately, the wooden door nails are relatively strong, otherwise, I am afraid that he and the wooden house have "parted ways" now.

The first thing that caught the little fat man's eyes was a face that was extremely black. This person's dark face flashed with a strange light, and he was very excited when he saw the little fat man.

"Third Brother Zhang, long time no see, how are you doing lately?" the little fat man greeted warmly. It turned out that this person who couldn't wait to run out was none other than the third brother among the three brothers, Zhang Heixiao.

As soon as Zhang Heixiao saw the little fat man, he pounced excitedly, and first gave the little fat man a bear hug. Zhang Heixiao's strong and powerful arms hugged the little fat man tightly. The little fat man gave Zhang Heixiao such a hug, and he was almost out of breath.

"Little fat brother, you miss me. Zhang Heixiao said loudly, and the tiger whiskers on his face trembled on his excited face. Zhang Fei is a lover of personality, and his actions just now are all true feelings, and they are by no means hypocritical courtesies.

The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Third brother, I miss you too!" However, I've been busy lately, and I haven't been able to spare time to visit you. ”

"Third brother, don't you let go of the little fat brother soon! If you keep strangling, the little fat brother will be strangled by you!" someone next to him said with a smile. The little fat man followed the voice and looked at it, and found that it was Guan Changsheng, the second man with a red face and a long beard, who spoke. At this moment, he was stroking his two-foot-long hair while smiling at the little fat man.

Zhang Heixiao also realized his gaffe, quickly let go of the little fat man, and stood aside with a silly smile.

"Second brother, are you here? Brother Liu?" the little fat man greeted Guan Changsheng.

Guan Changsheng didn't answer the little fat man's words, but turned his face, looked at the little fat man in the house, followed the eyes of Second Brother Guan, and saw a person coming out of the house, this person was not tall, and he was holding a baby in his arms. The baby didn't say a word, thinking that he should be asleep. This person is none other than Brother Liu Tian and Liu, who is holding Zhao Xiaoyun.
