Duan Xing followed the example of Emperor Baoding at that time, patted Tuoba Feng's shoulder and comforted him: "You can do as much as you can in the matter of intelligence, don't force it in this regard, I will arrange more people in the future." ”

Subsequently, Tuoba Feng took out two purple-black tokens, the tokens were about two feet square, one was engraved with the word "Tianzun", and the other was engraved with the word "Dizun". Tuoba Feng gave Duan Xing the token engraved with the word "Tianzun", and said: "This thing is built by his subordinates, there is only one one, and I hope that the lord will keep it properly." The subordinates have strictly ordered the 'Silver Snake' and the 'Iron Lion' not to say the name of the Lord to others, if the Lord has something important to do in the future, he can order someone to come to Yanyulou with a token to order all the killers, I have already explained, all the killers must unconditionally obey the person who holds the order if they see the Lord when they see this order. ”

Duan Xing cautiously put the token into his arms, and then looked at Tuoba Feng with a satisfied smile, and said in his heart: "What a caring talent."

Seeing that Duan Xing was satisfied, Tuoba Feng was also happy. Before leaving, he asked: "Lord, I look at Tian Hongliang, this person, he is cunning, vicious, capricious, and the most villainous person, do you want to ...... it" The words were not finished, but Duan Xing understood it.

Duan Xing didn't answer Tuoba Feng directly, but still kept a smile on his face and said to Tuoba Feng: "Brother Tuoba has ever heard the phrase 'the sea is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great'? By the time Yanyulou became famous, hadn't I already told Brother Tuoba that Tian Hongliang's life and death had already been handed over to Brother Tuoba, and Brother Tuoba could dispose of it at will at will, and there was no need to ask me for instructions.

Tuoba Feng gave a thumbs up in his heart, nodded his thumbs up, and then turned to leave.

Duan Xing looked at Tuoba Feng's distant figure, and there was no sadness or joy in his heart. It wasn't until Tuoba Feng's figure completely disappeared that Duan Xing raised his head and looked up at the endless starry sky, facing an unknown distant void, and silently said in his heart: "Wait, this is just the beginning." Immediately, he turned and went into the house.

On the second day, above the court of Dali.

Emperor Baoding sat on the throne, looking at the ministers below with a gentle face, different from the past, today's Emperor Baoding is in a very happy mood. The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know what could make Emperor Baoding so happy.

"Spread the crown prince to the court!" the voice of the herald eunuch was sharp and harsh, and it spread far away.

Duan Xing did not wear the crown prince's costume to go to the court, but was dressed in general armor, and with the sound of metal colliding, Duan Xing walked to the side of King Zhennan. Clasped his hands into fists, knelt on one knee, and saluted Emperor Baoding: "The son of the emperor to meet his father." ”

Emperor Baoding looked at the handsome and mighty Duan Xing, and said with satisfaction: "Flat!" The smile in the corner of his eyes could even be seen by the ministers below.

"Father Xie!" Duan Xing was listed behind the King of Zhennan after he got up.

The ministers speculated one after another, and they didn't know what happened to the crown prince today. Everyone secretly looked at the faces of King Zhennan and Gao Xiangguo, hoping to see some clues from the faces of the two, but unfortunately, the two of them were like high-ranking monks, with solemn faces, and the hopes of the ministers to find out were dashed.

At this time, Shang Shumu of the Ministry of War stood up and said to Emperor Baoding: "Qi Bixia, I Dali since the Taizu Holy Wenwu Emperor established the country by force, the country is peaceful and the people are rich. However, Dali is surrounded by tigers and wolves, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty in the east and the Western Xia in the north, but the Tubo in the northwest and the barbarians in the south always have a lot of friction with my Dali army every year. It has caused a lot of losses to my Dali country. Now that the prince has reached adulthood, Weichen believes that the prince should not only read the books of sages, but also understand the military affairs of Dali. The minister proposed that the prince go to the Southern Wilderness Army to learn military knowledge, which would help the prince ascend the throne in the future and govern Dali better.

After speaking, most of the ministers suddenly realized that a few years ago, they had discussed in the court about the prince's adult entry into the army, and now the time is ripe, Bixia is ready, so that the prince can go to the court in military generals. Some of the Zhennan King factions and neutral ministers secretly wondered in their hearts: "Well, should you send something good to the prince before the prince goes on the expedition, and establish a good relationship with the prince in advance?"

Emperor Baoding nodded, and asked Duan Xing: "I think the proposal of the military department is very reasonable, why don't the prince go to the Southern Wilderness Army to do some exercise according to the proposal of the military department?"

Duan Xing immediately came out of the queue and replied with great momentum: "Back to my father, my son is willing to go." ”

Emperor Baoding turned his head to the king of Zhennan and said, "I decided to put the prince into your Southern Wilderness Army to hone for a while, what do you think?"

"The will of the royal brother should be carried out. King Zhennan responded.

He no longer looked at others, and Emperor Baoding straightened his body and said: "I have decided that the prince will set off for the Lucang River (now Heihe in the north of Laizhou, Vietnam) today and settle in Dingnan Mansion. Accompanied by the Southern Wilderness Army to conquer the wild land in the south of Dali for three years. ”

"Bixia wise!" the minister knelt down.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Duan Xing and King Zhennan came to the imperial study with Emperor Baoding.

"Brother Huang, that old fox of Gao Shengtai is unexpectedly quiet today, I wonder if he has other plans?" Duan Zhengchun, the king of Zhennan, said to Emperor Baoding with some concern.

Emperor Baoding took a cup of tea brought by the little eunuch, took a sip and said, "It's okay, this matter is not too worrying." With Yang Tie holding him back, forgive him and don't dare to make too many moves, at most he will send a killer or something like that. Yi Xing'er's martial arts are enough to deal with those killers, but I am worried about other things. ”

King Zhennan didn't know that Duan Xing's skills had been perfected now, he looked at Duan Xing, who was light, and still said to Emperor Baoding worriedly: "Brother Huang, no matter how high Xing'er's martial arts are, after all, he is not very old and lacks experience, he is not afraid of those killers attacking in the open, but he is afraid of conspiracy and tricks in the dark, and he will do everything to poison and frame him." Yi Xing'er's experience may be difficult to deal with. ”

Emperor Baoding turned to Duan Xing and asked, "Can Xing'er be sure to deal with those ubiquitous killer attacks?"

Duan Xing gently put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the worried face of King Zhennan and the inquiring eyes of Emperor Baoding, and replied lightly: "Father and uncle don't worry, Gao Shengtai's strength is limited, no matter how many people are sent, they are just clowns for their sons, and they are not a big deal." I don't know what is the other thing that my father is worried about?"

Duan Xing asked about this, and Emperor Baoding sighed and said: "Gao Shengtai must not be as simple as sending a few killers, I know his methods too well, in order to achieve victory, he will definitely do whatever it takes and costs." I'm afraid that he will lose his sense of proportion, and he will not compromise the means to achieve the goal. Send people to secretly communicate with those barbarian tribes in the south, pass on news to each other, and secretly tell each other all the news when you send troops, in case the other party sets traps, traps, etc., I am afraid that my Dali will lose my troops. Once the other party enters my Dali territory, the people will be miserable again, and I can't bear it. ”

King Zhennan also frowned and said, "What the imperial brother said is extremely true, it is really possible for Gao Shengtai's old fox to do that kind of thing. How's that okay?"

Duan Xing thought of his Yanyu Building, and pondered in his heart: "This is nothing more than a battle between spies and counter-espionage, can we consider letting a few killers from Yanyulou lurk in the army, aiming at those suspicious people, specifically to prevent news leakage?

The three of them fell silent for a moment, unable to think of a solution. At this moment, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "Bixia, Zhu Danchen asked to see the king of Zhennan and said that there was something important to report." ”
