It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but there is no New Year's atmosphere in Luoyang City. The streets are deserted, the shops are basically not open, and occasionally a few are open.

Everywhere there are tense sergeants of Da Zheng, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, carefully checking every passing passerby.

However, everyone understands that there is no point in doing so except to give themselves a little psychological comfort.

Despite the strict lockdown of the news, all kinds of gossip continued to emerge from the corners, and the faster and faster it spread, the more evil it became, making the people in Luoyang City panic like the end of the world.

In fact, with Wang Shichong's return, Luoyang City's biggest reliance collapsed with a bang, and there was no longer any strength to stop Li Tang's iron hooves from advancing eastward.

Maybe Dou Jiande of Hebei can barely help Luoyang, but the final outcome is no longer suspenseful.

Maybe these things are still a little vague and distant for the common people, but for a general like Shan Xiongxin, who is a big Zheng humerus and a heavy minister in charge of the army, he already knows the understanding and prediction of the situation.

In the past few days, he has roughly heard the true thoughts of the Battle of Longmen through various channels. It is unimaginable that from the early morning to dawn on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the situation in Luoyang City has changed in just a few hours, and the power of Matsushima Nako has been cleaned up by Diao Xiaosi and his people plowing and sweeping the holes, and even Wang Shichong is also in a catastrophe.

The death knell of the Great Zheng Dynasty sounded impressively, even if it still has 100,000 elite soldiers and a hundred battles of strong cities, but as a generation of famous generals, Shan Xiongxin knows that this can only make Luoyang City survive for a few more days.

Because of the New Year, there was no early pilgrimage for several days. However, there were more official duties, and he sent troops to inspect the military camp and discuss countermeasures with the generals under his command all night. Time waits for no one, and when the weather warms up, Li Shimin's army will be overwhelmed like locusts.

Just now he sent away a group of subordinates who came to discuss the matter, Shan Xiongxin leaned back in the Taishi chair tiredly, and slowly rubbed his temples on both sides with his hands.

The reactions and performances of his subordinates are clear to Shan Xiongxin. He knew very well what was going on in their hearts at the moment.

If he made the decision to surrender to Li Tang, I believe that most of the generals would not hesitate to obey.

However, as the concubine of Da Zheng Guo, how could he turn his back on Wang Shichong and his wife? How could he forget his family hatred and blood hatred, and be greedy for life and fear of death to take refuge in Li Tang?

Failure is a predestined thing early on, death is not a big deal, he is ready to turn around, the only thing he can't give up is his wife and children. There are no eggs under the nest, not to mention that Princess Yuhua is still Wang Shichong's sister-in-law, such a special identity is bound to be chased by Li Tang.

Thinking of this, Shan Xiongxin decided to talk to Princess Yuhua.

He stood up and pushed the door open, only to find Lan Fu standing in the courtyard with his hands rubbed together, staring at the dark night sky in a daze.

"Lan Fu," Shan Xiongxin slapped him on the shoulder, "You still haven't slept so late?" ”

"Master Horse......" Lan Fu looked at Shan Xiongxin and snorted, "Are we going to lose ......?"

Shan Xiongxin smiled, then nodded and said, "Yes, you should have heard of it." ”

"Master Pony, no matter the sword mountain and the sea of fire, my old Lan will follow you!" Lan Fu seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Let Her Royal Highness the princess take the little young master and run away quickly, that is the only seedling in the single family!"

Shan Xiongxin felt a pain in his chest, and silently turned around and walked towards the back house.

Lan Fu looked at Shan Xiongxin's back and disappeared behind the Moon Gate Cave, and was hesitating whether to go to Lulu and discuss what to do in the future, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the dark: "Ma Lan'er!"

Lan Fu turned around in surprise, and saw Diao Xiaosi standing under the eaves and waving at him.

"Hua'an?!" Lan Fu was first happy and then angry, rushed over and twisted his ears and said: "You kid, where did you die, you said that you were sending Xiaoya home, and as soon as you go, there will be no shadow, is there still me in your eyes, is there a horse master?"

Diao Xiaosi was pulled by his ears and carried all the way to the stable before letting go: "Hungry or not, I'll go get something to eat." ”

Diao Xiaosi rubbed his reddened ears and said with a wry smile: "Niang Xipi, are you going to hit a stick first and then feed a date?"

"Your mother's kindness is less like a donkey's liver and lungs. If I hadn't helped you hide it from Master Pony, I would have treated you as a fugitive slave a long time ago. ”

He cursed as he rummaged through the stables, until at last his hand touched a jar of wine in a pile of hay.

"It's a cold day, take two sips?" patted the mud open, Lan Fu handed the wine jar to Diao Xiaosi.

Diao Xiaosi grunted, raised his head and poured a big mouthful. The wine was a little rushed, and I drank it into my stomach and burned in a panic.

"It's just two sips, and I didn't let you drink it all!" Lan Fu snatched the wine jar and said proudly: "This is still what your sister Lulu secretly gave me during the Chinese New Year." I've been hiding in the stable and not willing to drink, and I'm happy today. ”

Diao Xiaosi looked at him and said, "Boss Malan, how much have you heard about the incident a few days ago?"

Lan Fu nodded and said, "I'm wondering, what are you kid doing when you're in chaos." ”

"Didn't you use the Dao talisman you gave you last time to gamble for wine?"

"That...... I gave it to Lulu privately. ”

Diao Xiaosi didn't say anything, took out a wax pill from his pocket and said, "Don't tell anyone, especially any woman, including Sister Lulu, you swear!"

Lan Fu took the wax pill and put it under his nose to smell it, and said strangely: "The gods are mysterious, what delicious things are hidden in it?"

"Not something to eat, hi...... Then you will know the truth. Remember, if Luoyang City is captured by Li Tang's army one day, you can peel off the wax pill and do what it means, maybe you can save the little young master. If you're lucky, maybe your princess and princess will be safe. ”

Lan Fu glared at Diao Xiaosi and took two steps back and said, "You tell Lao Tzu clearly, who are you?"

Diao Xiaosi smiled slightly and said: "Do you really want to know Lu Dao? My surname is Diao, and I am the little fourth master who is a handsome, dashing, chivalrous, and innocent lucky star!"

"Your surname is Diao, and your name is ...... Little Fourth Master?!" Lan Fu opened his round eyes in surprise and looked at Diao Xiaosi for a long time, then suddenly laughed, rubbing his eyes while pointing at him and saying, "Don't be funny, Lao Tzu is still Ning Wuqi!"

Diao Xiaosi was choked a lot, it was rare to say goodbye to humanity once, and to be honest, he was teased by this haba for a long time, and took a big advantage in vain.

Lan Fu finally laughed enough, held on to the railing of the stable, and gasped, "Go, follow me to see the horse master." He would be glad if he knew that you were back. ”

He was afraid that Diao Xiaosi would slip, so he reached out to grab this kid's arm. Grasping the emptiness in his hand, Diao Xiaosi disappeared without a trace in front of him in an instant.

"Hey, where have you been?" Lan Fu looked around in amazement, but where could he still find Diao Xiaosi?

He scratched his messy hair and touched the wax pills in his pocket, convinced that he wasn't dreaming.

At this time, Diao Xiaosi had already left the Horse Mansion, and said to the secluded and dark alley: "Lao Tzu is not a female disciple, why are you chasing so hard?"

I saw Nanyu Lane slowly walking out of the alley, looking at Diao Xiaosi's head and approvingly: "The eldest husband has clear grievances, nothing more than that." ”

With the identity of Nanyu Lane, it is a supreme honor for anyone to be praised by his Chrysostom.

It's a pity that Diao Xiaosi doesn't belong to any of "anyone", so he rolled his eyes and said, "What, this is the end?"

Nan Yuxiang was stunned and said, "What else do you want to hear from me?"

"Lao Nan, you don't do things authentically enough......" Diao Xiaosi shook his head dissatisfied.

Nan Yuxiang's eyelids jumped, and he felt that he was in trouble, and said stiffly: "I don't know what the little four virtuous nephews are talking about?"

"I'm such a good wife, I gave it to you Penglai Immortal Pavilion without receiving a penny, so that our husband and wife are still living separately today. Did Lao Tzu ever complain?"

"This time there is a rare opportunity for our husband and wife to reunite, but you are a bad old man who pretends to be a public servant and steals love, and you robbed Penglai Xiange of the quota sent to Luoyang for public tourism, which made Lao Tzu look through the autumn water and wash his face with tears. You say, how can I be compensated?"

Nanyu Lane said with a smile: "Do you think I am willing to come all the way to Luoyang to drink the northwest wind? First, the Lord of the Geng Pavilion happened to retreat and retreat, and secondly, the matter was very important, and the empty moon real person of the Kunlun Yaotai Palace personally came forward to invite, so I had to run around this old bone. ”

Diao Xiaosi said hesitantly: "It's better to speak than to sing, I haven't seen you sweaty, why don't we find a place to sit down and have a glass of wine and slowly theorize." Old Nan, you can't let the hero shed blood and tears, what to do, you know-"

Nanyu Lane coughed dryly, and said with a wry smile: "Little Four, why do I think that tonight I will send you to the door to knock on the bamboo bar?"

Diao Xiaosi said proudly: "What are you talking about? Do you have to wait for Lao Tzu to be idle, you are righteous and Liuding, I will come to collect debts one by one, and I will not pay on credit even with interest." ”

Nanyu Lane was so entangled by him that he couldn't do it, so he had to say, "Okay, let's find a place, I'll invite you to drink." ”

Diao Xiaosi smiled and just wanted to agree, but suddenly his heart moved: "Hey, it's not right." When did you become a cheerful person, Lao Nan? Don't tell me that your conscience found out and felt that you owed Lao Tzu too much, so you specially stayed in Luoyang and waited to be slaughtered. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you're either a traitor or a thief - honestly, what the hell are you doing?"

"There's something I really want to discuss with you, so let's find a place to sit down and talk. ”

"Wait, it's still not right. Diao Xiaosi waved his hand, stared at Nanyu Lane and said, "Why do you want to stay and find me, where did Kongyue, Longfa, Ziyang Zhenren and Zhang Tianshi go?"

He slightly contemplated the Lingtai Daqiankong Zhao, sensing all kinds of breaths and fortunes from all directions in the dark, and suddenly his eyes opened suddenly: "Lao Nan, you want to drag Lao Tzu out of the palace to drink for some reason, why did those four old guys run to find the concubine in the dark?"

Nanyu Lane was taken aback, but he didn't expect Diao Xiaosi's cultivation to the point where he could collect Daqian, but in a blink of an eye, he sensed the traces of Zhang Tianshi and others.

He stared at Diao Xiaosi with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "Why did I come to you, why did I leave this damn errand to me, just because the old man is familiar with you?!"
