“…”

Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er stood side by side in front of the Zhufeng Hall hall. From a distance, several cavalry rushed from the mountain pass, but Xu Wujiang sent back from Huaiyuan to report the news.

"Has the new governor Dong Cheng actually arrived in Huaiyuan?"

Liu Qiong'er was shocked after opening the letter and reading it. She couldn't believe what Xu Wujiang wrote.

Su Laochang, Su Di, Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang, Yin Peng and others rushed over quickly.

Dong Cheng was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Taicheng and had a close relationship with Cai Ying's eldest son Cai Hezhi. In the eleventh year of Taicheng, he served as the chief supervisor of Zhenxiong Army. At that time, Zhenxiong Army was controlled by Cai Ying and was one of the most core members of the Cai faction in the court.

Dong Cheng used the Baohe Palace Assistant to be appointed as the governor of Tangzhou, and also led the military commander and the regiment commander. Xu Huai could figure out with his toes that the rebellion of the bandits in Tongbai Mountain was already a matter of people's turn.

This is why they stepped up the establishment of Zhufeng Hall in Xiema Mountain.

The disaster that will come with the first year of Jianhe is too illusory, and people like Wang Bing are unbelievable, but even in dealing with the imminent further persecution of the Cai faction, everyone needs to unite closer together.

Xu Huai never expected that Dong Cheng did not sit firmly on Biyang to rectify his troops and horses. After the recruitment of the thieves was completed, he attacked them. He actually took a light cart and took a horse and took a detour to Huaiyuan.

"What are Dong Cheng going to Huaiyuan to do at this time?" Xu Wukun, Xu Wuliang and others rushed to Zhufeng Hall. At first glance, they were shocked.m.

"Dong Cheng dares to come to Huaiyuan lightly. I can't hide my head in Xiema Mountain," Xu Huai said. "Uncle Wu Kun, Yin Peng, you are ready. We will go to Huaiyuan overnight to meet with Uncle Seventeen and others. Let's see what trouble Dong Cheng and the others are going to make!"

"Tiaohutan, Huangqiao Village, you are too dazzling. Even a general is unparalleled in Tongbai Mountain. Dong Cheng really has any plans to come here. In addition to your husband, you may be the main target..." Su Laochang said worriedly, not agreeing with Xu Huai going to Huaiyuan at this time.

Xu Huai said: "I know some dangers, of course I know, but no matter how dangerous it is, it can be as good as the battle on the front line? These things cannot be avoided just by wanting to avoid them. If there is anything, it is nothing more than the soldiers who come to the generals and the waters and soils are covered. It is better than shrinking here and thinking about everything and everything is strong!"

"..." Su Lao Chang was speechless. He was not a strong person. He seemed cowardly in some things. It was difficult for him to persuade Xu Huai to stay in Xiema Mountain and hold his troops without moving. He said helplessly, "I know I can't convince you to stay in Xiema Mountain, but the situation is turbulent. You must be careful that Xu Wufu, a person who may be repeated at any time. Xu Wufu, Xu Heng and his son both believed that the Yasha Fox was Miss Liu - if you take Miss Liu to Huaiyuan, you may be able to confuse them!"

…………

Xu Huai, Liu Qiong'er, Xu Wukun, and Yin Peng entered the newly built Huaiyuan City surrounded by dozens of Forging Guards. The night was already dark.

The bandits were not in chaos, and the city was on guard during wartime. Ordinary people were prohibited from taking to the streets after nightfall.

The empty street was lying in front of me, and the north wind blew, and through the armored clothes, there was an indescribable coldness. If it weren't for the guards inside and outside the city gate, the town camp generals were still in charge, Xu Huai was worried that Deng Gui had been bribed, so he set up an ambush here to wait for him to enter the trap.

Zhufeng Hall plated the yard next to the Zheng family butcher shop as the entrance. The yard has five entrances in front and behind, and the east and west yards are covered with nearly forty houses of different sizes and sizes, with stables, warehouses and other buildings.

In addition to being a weapon shop for buying five soldiers, Xu Wujiang, Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu and others also served as generals in the town camp and usually stayed in the back house of the hall.

Xu Huai, Liu Qionger, Xu Wukun, Yin Peng walked into the back house and saw Wang Bing, Lu Xiong, Xu Wujiang, Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu and Zheng Tu sitting in the house. Someone tried his best to slash a hole in the long case. There was also broken porcelain in the corner of the house, and tea stains were scattered on the wall. He asked with a forced smile: "Who said such a big thing, the best sandalwood case would slash a hole in the best?"

Xu Xin'an whispered to Xu Wujiang.

Xu Wujiang's anger at this time was not as strong as before, but he was indescribable. He was angry and bitter:

"We fought so many times. How many people have fallen into the ground in Tongbai Mountain in the past six months? How many people have been displaced? Zheng Hui, a dog, opened up with Dong Cheng to Huaiyuan City today. What's wrong with this world?"

Even though he had known that Zheng Hui and others were flirting behind the scenes, and even though he had learned to be so slick in the Inspection Department, when Dong Cheng summoned the Inspection Department and the township officers to discuss matters and introduced that an aide was Zheng Hui, Xu Wujiang was completely ignited at that moment. Even when he talked about this matter, he felt a burst of anger in his heart.

"When discussing the matter, Zheng Hui sat beside Dong Cheng and commented on Huaiyuan's bandit suppression. I was so worried at that time that Uncle Seventeen could not help but draw his sword toward him..." Xu Xin'an said.

"I'm not that stupid." Xu Wujiang sat down angrily.

Xu Huai was also dumbfounded at this moment. He didn't expect that Zheng Hui would dare to run to Huaiyuan City to show up in public?

Even though he could guess that Dong Cheng and Zheng Hui was deliberately provoking him at this time, in order to anger them and beat Xu up with blood, Xu Huai wanted to curse himself at this moment, wishing he could fuck all these miscellaneous pieces and chop them up.

"Master, Zheng Hui was sent by Privy Councilor Cai Ying to come to Tongbai Mountain to kill the old husband Wang?" Zheng Tu brought a chair to Xu Huai. He was still unbelievable when he heard Xu Xin'an say these things.

"It's Zheng Hui?" Xu Huai took off his knife and sat down with Xu Wukun and Yin Peng and asked.

"Grandpa Wang, Mr. Lu did not attend the meeting, but this guy was afraid that others would not know that he came to Huaiyuan. At dusk, he specially accompanied Dong Cheng to the street market for two rounds." Xu Wujiang said angrily.

"It's him, indeed." Lu Xiong said.

Xu Huai and Xu Wujiang had never had a chance to meet Zheng Hui before. When interrogating the Hutou Village captive Kou, he only knew that Zheng Zihui rarely showed his face beside Chen Zixiao, and occasionally he looked waxy and sick. He knew that Zheng Hui and others used special ginger juice to apply their faces and slightly changed their appearance.

However, Lu Xiong had dealt with Zheng Hui, and it was impossible to misunderstand it.

"It seems that Zheng Hui and others should have walked out of Tongbai Mountain to meet him when Dong Cheng took office. Then, as Dong Cheng's aide, came to Tangzhou to take office together - they have arranged the task of recruiting and placing accusation," Xu Huai didn't care about being angry. Knowing that the other party was a plan, he had to suppress his anger in his heart, frowned and gasped, and said, "Dong Cheng came to Huaiyuan this time, but he came to deal with us!"

Wang Bing also sighed to the sky, and there was nothing to say about this situation.

"What is Deng Gui's attitude?" Xu Wukun asked.

"What attitude can he have? He even wished he could shrink his head back into his crotch!" Xu Sihu said resentfully.

"Don't say that these are useless. Deng Gui did not replace the soldiers of the town camp from the top of the city, so he did not stand on Dong Cheng's side. But apart from that, we cannot expect Deng Gui to do too much." Xu Huai stopped Xu Sihu from complaining.

Even if they had sufficient evidence for assassination and bandit affairs, they would not be able to convince the foolish official who was sitting high on the dragon throne that there was something wrong, and they would not be able to bring Cai Ying down through this matter.

Dong Cheng, Zheng Hui and others seem unscrupulous, and can even be said to be absurd and incredible, but this is also their clever and insidiousness, which will weaken the intensity of the accusation against them.

Since there is no hope of overthrowing Cai Ying in a short period of time, how can Deng Gui, a small inspector, fight against Dong Cheng, who has mastered the military and political power of Tangzhou and is fully responsible for the suppression of bandits in Tongbai Mountain?

Is Deng Gui not afraid that Dong Cheng would sing a play of killing Ma Su in Huaiyuan?

Or could they expect Deng Gui to be angry and lead the inspectors of the army soldiers, the generals of the town camp to chop all the scattered pieces into pieces?

So what is the difference between this and rebellion?

Deng Gui did not turn to Dong Cheng, Zheng Hui and others, and did not change the inspector's military officer to guard Huaiyuan City, nor did he remove Xu Wujiang and his position in the town camp. In fact, he was to make the most of the use of the small inspector's power to fight against the jealous behavior of Dong Cheng and Zheng Hui and others.

After the Xu clan soldiers were merged into the town camp, Xu Huai never served as the capital general. Zhufengtang was nominally headed by Xu Wujiang. Even in all military discussions, Xu Huai would not show up, but the lower-level generals had the most direct desire and pursuit of force and were the most submissive.

When Xu Huai scolded him, Xu Sihu was still a little dissatisfied, but he sat aside and stopped making a sound.

Xu Huai took a deep breath, calmed the anger in his chest, and asked as calmly as possible: "Dong Cheng, how many people did Zheng Hui bring over? Did Dong Qifeng accompany him?"

"Zheng Hui rarely shows up, and there are not many people in Huaiyuan who know Dong Qifeng's scar face. I don't know how many generals and soldiers have seen him in the battle of Huangqiao Village. If he really dares to show his face, I see that the entire town camp will have to blow up. They don't have the courage to do this," said Xu Wujiang. "Dong Cheng, Zheng Hui has more than a dozen followers, and in addition, the more than a hundred sword archers brought by Zhu Tong from Biyang County are accompanying him all the way - what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Wang Bing's eyes became stern, Xu Huai smiled bitterly and said, "We only have this little manpower and there are thousands of families who need to take care of it. Wang Xiang, aren't you worried that we will raise our troops to rebel? And if we escape from Huaiyuan City, we will just be hit by these dogs and things to alert the snake."

"How do you plan to respond?" Wang Bing asked with a wry smile.

"Of course I should wash my neck and let them cut it!" Xu Huai said.

Wang Bing closed his eyes and looked full of affection. After a while, he stood up and said, "You are very kind to me, Wang Bing, and I cannot repay you, and I should not have any requirements or restraints. Do not think about me, what you do and what you should do!"

Lu Xiong stood up, sighed deeply, pressed his palm hard on Xu Huai's shoulder, and then walked out with Wang Bing without saying anything.

Wang Bing, after Lu Xiong left, Xu Xin'an walked to the gate of the yard and looked around, walked back with a little excitement and asked, "What should I do? You kid won't leave us alone this time, right?"

"How could they not prevent the recurrence of Guo Caoling's incident? Are you not afraid that 17 or eighteen of us will break through and just fall into the trap set by the other party?" Xu Huai smiled bitterly, "I just said that to Wang Bing Gong, even if I was angry, I was helpless. Deng Gui is still a little conscientious for the time being, and he also knows that Dong Cheng and Zheng Hui are tigers and wolves, so Dong Cheng and Zheng Hui cannot directly harm us at this moment. However, at the same time, Zheng Hui will not sit and watch us assassinate Dong Cheng, and he can't afford this. We can only wait for them to take the move first. If it really doesn't work, I believe Deng Gui will not stop us from escaping Huaiyuan City. Dong Cheng and Zheng Hui should also hope that we can take a step so that we can change our reputation and bring the incorporated bandit army to deal with us..."

Xu Huai heard a slight sound from the courtyard wall outside the house, and alertly signaled everyone in the house not to be alarmed, but when he and Xu Wujiang took off the knife around their waists, the person who had climbed over the wall had already spoken in the courtyard, "It's me!"
