The city of Ningxia has been calm recently, and there is no tense atmosphere at all before the war is about to begin.

Inside the "Shaanxi Governor's Mansion", there is an air of chilling everywhere.

In the hall, Liu Dongyang and "Deputy Governor" Xu Chao both looked nervous, as if something big was going to happen today.

When we first entered, the guards came in and reported that the "chief military officer of the three sides", Mr. Kuaibaai, had arrived.

The two of them quickly tidied up their clothes and went out to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kuai! You still have to take the trouble to come to our house despite your busy schedule. I apologize to you!" Liu Dongyang said while letting Kuai Bai into the hall.

"You're welcome, Mr. Liu! It concerns the safety of Ningxia City, and I have to come no matter how busy I am." Kuai Bai said politely.

Liu Dongyang looked up at Kuai Chengen, Kuai Yun, and Kuai Tana who were standing behind Kuai Bai, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Today, the name was to invite Kuai Bai to discuss matters, but in fact, a Hongmen banquet was held, and Kuai Bai was intended to be killed on the spot.

He didn't really want to take credit for Kuai Bai's head, but he just thought that "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers".

No matter whether the city of Ningxia can be defended or not, sooner or later this foreigner will fall out with him. Instead of just taking advantage of him and killing him, it is better to take action early and avoid this future trouble.

Then take those Tatars who are accustomed to fighting and take them under your command. If there are any disobedient ones, they will all be slaughtered.

After taking control of the city of Ningxia, if you advance, you can compete with the imperial army by force. If you retreat, you can use the more than 100,000 troops in your hands to gain more bargaining chips with the imperial court.

Of course, peace talks should not be implemented unless absolutely necessary, because he does not believe in the other party's promises, and it is not that he does not know the words "a war never tires of deceit".

Today Kuai Bai also brought his own son Kuai Chengen who was guarding the south gate, which made Liu Dongyang smell the danger.

Hesitated for a moment.

Xu Chao, who was standing next to him, kept giving him winks, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

My heart was filled with confusion. Is it the behavior of a man to be timid?

He stood up suddenly and slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

The axemen hiding in the back hall and the guards standing guard outside the door suddenly poured into the hall, surrounding Kuaibai and the others.

Kuaibai didn't even raise his eyelids, drinking tea slowly and leisurely.

"Take them down!" Liu Dongyang had just shouted these words, but suddenly his throat seemed to be stuck, and he could no longer say the following words.

Because a sharp dagger was pressed firmly against his waist, and the owner of the dagger was none other than "Deputy Governor" Xu Chao.

"Liu Dongyang colluded with the imperial court and intended to murder Mr. Yi. He deserves death! Those who want to live should immediately throw down their weapons!" Xu Chao shouted to the soldiers in the hall.

Most of these soldiers were his men, and they dropped their weapons one after another.

Now that someone was taking the lead, the remaining soldiers had no choice but to throw away their weapons.

Liu Dongyang's face was ashen, and even though he had exhausted all his traps, he did not realize that the one who betrayed him was actually his good brother Xu Chao who fought with him in the north and south.

He had already guessed that mutiny and rebellion and resistance to the imperial court would not end well in the end.

But I didn't expect that my life would be destroyed in the hands of the person I trusted most and end in this way.

This made him feel too unwilling.

"Okay, okay! Very good! My eldest brother has lived for nearly half a century and has only made you a friend. He regards you as his own brother. I didn't expect that the first person to betray me would be you!" As he said this, his voice became more choked up and his eyes were filled with circles.

redness.

Xu Chao looked apologetic and muttered:

"Brother, don't blame me! From the moment you started to contact the imperial court and tried to betray Ningxia City, the fate of you and me as brothers was over! I also advised you that there is no way back for us, we will either die in battle or succeed. And you

But despite good advice, we still go our own way. For the sake of the city of Ningxia, and for the tens of thousands of brothers who have followed us through life and death, we have to make this decision!"

"Mr. Liu, you have been with me for decades, why are you still so simple-minded? Do you really think that if you cut off my head, you will be let go tomorrow? Thank you for accompanying me through thick and thin for so long. After you leave, I will

Let the Master save you!"

After saying goodbye, he waved his hand.

Kuaiyun stepped forward, raised the knife in his hand, and Liu Dongyang's head was already in his hand.

It seems that June is already halfway through, but there is still no movement in the city of Ningxia.

Ye Mengxiong, Mei Guozhen, and Du Wenlin were all uneasy in their hearts.

Not only did he want to succeed in the countermeasure and save himself from the pain of using weapons, but he was also afraid that he would delay the opportunity by waiting.

Therefore, spies were sent into Ningxia City every day to inquire about news.

On this day, the news finally came: "Liu Dongyang's head was hung on the south gate tower of Ningxia City."

Needless to say, calculating separation is half the battle.

Kuaibai killed Liu Dongyang, but he would not surrender again.

After carefully planning for so long, only waiting for such a result, Mei Guozhen and Du Wenlin felt a little uncomfortable.

Ye Mengxiong smiled and said:

"The two thieves fought fiercely, and Kuaibai killed Liu Dongyang. Our strategy has been successful! At the same time, Liu Dongyang's soldiers are all Han people, and they will definitely not surrender to Kuaibai. Even if they are replaced by a Han command, this team has become alienated and lost its tenacity.

The combat effectiveness is also the success of this strategy!"

Now that things have come to this, we have to face reality.

After all, everyone has tried their best.

The "Majia Whole Sheep Restaurant" in the south of Yan'an City is famous far and wide. The ancestral craftsmanship and carefully selected ingredients make customers who have eaten here never forget this bite.

Wang Ling and Ronger also fell in love with this one, and they dragged Du Wenlin here every now and then.

His business was doing well as usual today. It was almost evening and the hall was already full of people.

The three of them were squeezed into the table in the corner, and Ronger kept muttering unhappily:

"We are regular customers too, can't the boss change the table for us? It's so dark here that we could accidentally eat something in our nose."

Du Wenlin and Wang Ling smiled and said nothing, sitting and waiting for the food to be served.

A candle as thick as an arm hung from the ceiling in the middle of the hall, and the fire was blazing. Unfortunately, the space was too large, and the mist from the pots of sheep soup was evaporating, making the entire hall dim.

The door curtain made of rattan was lifted again, and four people filed in.

Du Wenlin suddenly covered Ronger's mouth, which was chattering, and babbled at the four people who had just arrived.

Wang Ling and Ronger also looked surprised.

Of the four people who came in, the last one walking was a young woman with a pretty face wearing a green dress.

The other three men look almost identical, with medium build and pale and thin faces. They are the three Ying brothers.

The four of them walked into the house, saw that there were no empty seats, and walked out again.

"Follow them." Du Wenlin finished speaking and walked out the door.

It was getting late, and four people could be vaguely seen walking towards the city.

The four of them came to the door of a hotel in Yan'an City, looked around and walked in.

"Isn't that woman Xiaoqing? Why is she here?" Wang Ling asked.

She and Rong'er both knew Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing was there on the day when they and Wei Dongqing fought fiercely at "Yanziji".

"It's Xiaoqing. The other three people with her are the three brothers surnamed Ying. They are in the same group as Wei Dongqing. It's not surprising that these four people are mixed together. What's strange is that they also came from Jiangnan.

Here it comes." Du Wenlin also felt strange.

After waiting for a while, the four people didn't come out again, so they probably had already settled in.

Du Wenlin also walked in, came to the hotel counter, and said to the boss:

"I want to open a house next door to the four people just now."

Who is the owner of the hotel? What has he never seen? Du Wenlin’s request is not surprising.

After all, just now three men came to check out a room with a woman, and they just checked out a room, which is not normal in itself.

The boss took the money and registered without saying anything.

After registering the room, Du Wenlin came to the door:

"I'll stay here tonight, you two go back first."

Wang Ling quit first:

"I'm not worried about leaving you alone here! Ronger, please go back. I'll work harder and stay here with him."

Rong'er's mouth was so pouty:

"If you two don't leave, why should you drive me away?"

Du Wenlin’s head is a little big again:

"I'm here to keep an eye on people, and I'm not fighting with them. You two don't have to accompany me."

The two girls seemed not to hear and turned their heads away.

"Okay, I'll get a room for you two. Be careful not to wander around or make any noise."

"Why do you want to open it? If you live in the same room, no one will eat you." Wang Ling said.

Du Wenlin scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Okay, you two girls are not ashamed, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

The boss rubbed his head and felt that there were a lot of strange things happening today.

Just now three men and one woman rented a room.

Now a man and two women also share a room.

It's important to make money in business, and I don't want to worry so much.

After Du Wenlin brought the two girls into the room, he stipulated that no one could speak aloud. Because the three "sons of the night" had extraordinary skills, they could hear the slightest movement.

"Three brothers, this is just one bed, how shall the four of us sleep tonight?" Xiao Qing's sweet voice sounded.

"Open your eyes and take a closer look. This is a big bed, can't you sleep on it?" a voice said angrily.

"Hehe, how about I sleep with you tonight." A sharp and harsh voice said.

"Third brother, don't mess around. If Dong Qing hadn't repeatedly told you to ensure your safety on the road, we wouldn't have bothered to serve you. We would have been serving our ancestors along the way." The first voice said again.

"Hey, let me thank you all first for Dong Qing!" Xiao Qing's voice had a soul-stirring charm.

A soft hum came from all over, without any more words.

Du Wenlin secretly sighed in his heart. In less than a year, Xiaoqing has transformed from a shy little girl into a mature woman full of makeup and powder. It is really touching.

Waiting for the sound of deep sleep to be heard next door, Du Wenlin made a gesture and the three of them quietly left the hotel.

"There's no point in waiting any longer. The four of them went to Ningxia City to find Wei Dongqing. I just don't know why Wei Dongqing had to go all the way to get Xiaoqing here?" Du Wenlin asked doubtfully.

"The two of them appeared together at Yanziji that day. She and the guy named Wei might be lovers," Wang Ling said.

Du Wenlin did not answer. He was thinking that the three Ying brothers and Wei Dongqing were already difficult enough. And Xiaoqing was a "future star" belonging to the Ji family of the "Dark Night Clan". If the Ji family also

When it was involved in the rebellion in Ningxia City, the situation became even more complicated.

Moreover, the "Desert Zerg" and the "Red Faction Sect" have long been involved in this.

Unexpectedly, the chaos in Ningxia attracted all kinds of monsters and monsters, all trying to take advantage of the troubled waters and grab a piece of the pie.

I'm afraid that this place will eventually become a place of despair for them,

Suddenly I thought of Sanniang. I haven’t seen her for a long time and I don’t know where she is now.

But with the telepathy between mother and son, he felt that she was not very far away from him, and maybe she had been watching him silently.

I looked up and looked around, but there was nothing but the darkness that was gradually enveloping me.

She smiled helplessly and said in her heart: Sanniang once said that the minds of mother and son can be connected, but we probably haven't reached that state yet.

Maybe she met her "old friend" from Jiangnan, and couldn't help but think of Cuizhu again. She probably didn't know that she was already thousands of miles away in the frontier, would she miss him at this time?

She should have gone back to the province to get married to her a long time ago, but she has been busy with official duties and has been unable to make the trip. Every time she thinks about this, her heart is full of apologies to her.

I don’t know if Cuizhu’s mother, Xu Lan, has changed her ways. If she can rein in the situation, there may be room for maneuver.

Because it is no secret that she participated in the "Red Faction". Sooner or later, someone will stab her in the court and use it as a weapon to attack Governor Cao. I'm afraid it will be another situation where she loses more and loses less.

There are also those "Red Feng Sect" followers who are imprisoned in several government prisons in the south of the Yangtze River. After so long, have they obtained the antidote?

If there is no antidote, they may have said goodbye to this rolling world.

Alas, if you take a wrong step, you will often have crossed the bridge of naihe when you look back.
