Kunzi smiled and nodded: "Well, we will definitely be able to recapture the captured city."

And I added in my heart: I hope so.

"Let's go." Kunzi rode all the way and sent Qin Sanlang and others ten miles away before leading them back. After bringing the meeting gifts, he went into the city to give gifts to Duan Tongzhi and General Dai.

Duan Tongzhi already knew that Qin Sanlang and the others left Yongcheng Mansion, and he was so angry that he scolded Qin Sanlang and others: What's wrong with a guy who doesn't understand the rules and brought so many supplies with him, and gave half of them to honor him?

And that guy named Cao is really a loser, but he didn't get anything done despite being reminded.

However, people from the Lei family's caravan came in person with a carriage of greeting gifts. Duan Tongzhi felt a lot less angry. After accepting the gifts, he said something sensible to Qin Sanlang and the others.

Kunzi saw that he accepted the gifts very smoothly, but showed disdain when he praised Qin Sanlang and the others. He felt very uncomfortable and asked: "Duan Tongzhi, have all the soldiers recovered from their injuries?"

Duan Tong knew that they stopped and refused to leave on the pretext that the soldiers needed to recover from their injuries. When he saw Kunzi asking this, his face darkened, thinking that Kunzi was meddling in other people's business.

However, for the sake of the Lei Family Trading Company, Duan Tongzhi explained: "It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and many soldiers have injured their bones. They need to heal their bones before they can fight against the soldiers."

After speaking, he asked Kunzi: "How is the injury of Mr. Lei Wu? Do you want to go back to Yongcheng Mansion to recuperate?"

The fact that Lei Wuye went to Da Rong was a secret. What was said to the outside world was that he was injured and was recuperating in Long'an Mansion.

Duan Tongzhi would ask about Mr. Lei Wu's situation, mainly to curry favor with him.

The Fifth Master Lei has great control over the Lei family's caravan. As long as he fawns over the Fifth Master Lei, Duan Changling's power in the northwest will be raised to a higher level. From now on, even if Xu is not dead, he will not dare to put too much pressure on him.

Hold him.

It's a pity that Kunzi said: "Fifth Master will not return to Yongcheng Mansion. He said that he would live and die with Long'an Mansion."

These words were meant to mock Duan Changling for stopping and not leaving, but Duan Changling pretended not to hear it and sneered in his heart and said: "Long'an Mansion is dangerous, it is better for Mr. Lei Wu to come to Yongcheng Mansion to recuperate."

Lest the Rong people attack Long'an Prefecture, the person named Lei will be hacked to death by the Rong people.

Duan Changling had a bad temper, and Kunzi was just a servant to put it bluntly. He was too lazy to deal with Kunzi, and when he couldn't get any news that he was satisfied with, he served tea to see off the guests.

Kunzi didn't stay long and left with his people to give gifts to General Dai.

Since the two of them do not live together, this gift can only be given separately.

General Dai was angry and felt that he had been underestimated by the Lei Family Trading Company. However, the Lei Family Trading Company was very capable and the things they sent were good. He got better after his anger subsided. He said: "Tell Qin Baihu and the others, although they were rude first."

, but I will not argue with them."

Kunzi is about to vomit, do you still have the nerve to say this?

"General Dai, the danger in Long'an Mansion has not been resolved yet, when will you lead your troops and set off?" Kunzi asked again.

General Dai frowned when he heard this and said unhappily: "What danger can there be in Long'an Prefecture? The Rong people have not attacked for several months. Just keep your hearts in your stomach. The Rong people will not attack Yongcheng Prefecture."

.”

Kunzi almost couldn't help but sneer. After suppressing the ridicule in his heart, he reminded: "General Dai, the Rong people have not attacked the city for several months. Don't you think this is very strange?"

General Dai was disdainful: "What's weird, what's so weird? The Rong people are planning to come to our Dachu to take root. Recently, they are busy relocating the Rong people and have no time to attack the city."

Kunzi was shocked when he heard this, you damn thing know that the Rong people want to come to our Dachu and not leave, so why don't you lead the troops to drive them away?!

But General Dai was afraid of death and did not dare to go to the northwest. Seeing that Kunzi was a little annoying, he said to the deputy general: "Say hello, I have something else to do."

He just got up and left, ignoring Kunzi at all.

Kunzi was trembling with anger. Someone who was so afraid of death was sent to be a general to resist the army. Did Emperor Jingyuan lose his mind?

However, General Dai was recommended by Shangshu Dai. If Emperor Jingyuan knew that General Dai was so useless, he would definitely send someone to assassinate him!

Four days later, You Ping, You Xi and their assassination plan also began.

Lieutenant General Ye was not as lucky as Duan Changling and General Dai and could not live in the city, but he would go to the city to drink flower wine. This night, he would have a good time with the flower girl and then sleep to death.

Early the next morning, when it was time to open the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city yawned and went to open the city gate. When they looked up, they saw a human head hanging on the city gate, and they screamed in horror: "

ah--!"

The voice was shrill and frightening, alerting other soldiers guarding the city.

Xiaoqi Zhang shouted: "Shiba, your mother has been incited, why are you screaming so hard?"

Shi Ba pointed at the head on the city gate. After being stiff for a while, he shouted: "Head, there is a head on the city gate!"

"What a mess, are you looking for a fight?" Chief Xiaoqi ran down and slapped Shi Ba on the head: "Boss, I'm right in front of you, what the hell are you screaming about?"

However, seeing Shi Ba pointing at the back of the city gate, the flag leader finally realized something was wrong. He immediately turned to look at the city gate. When he saw clearly that it was a human head hanging on it, he broke into a cold sweat and cursed.

Mother, she hurriedly shouted: "Quick, get the ladder and take down the head!"

After a period of confusion, the head was finally taken off, and Hualou also discovered that Vice General Ye was dead, so they hurriedly sent someone to report it to the official.

When a deputy general died, the prefect was shocked. Not wanting to take responsibility, he immediately sent someone to notify Duan Tongzhi and General Dai.

Duan Changling came soon. After seeing the body of Deputy General Ye and the head sent from the city gate, he slammed the table angrily and said: "If you dare to kill the deputy general of the imperial court, there is a traitor who wants to rebel." Magistrate Weng

You seal the city immediately, investigate the case thoroughly, and give the court an explanation!"

Tell me the truth.

Is someone who can cut off a lieutenant's head clean and tidy easy to mess with? This government can't investigate. You soldiers should investigate on your own.

Magistrate Weng did not answer the call, but asked the people in the government office: "Is General Dai here?"

It was okay if I didn't ask, but as soon as I asked, a government official rushed into the building and shouted: "Your Majesty, the prefect is in trouble. General Dai was assassinated last night and was hit by a poisonous arrow. He is now unconscious."

"General Dai was assassinated?!" Duan Changling was shocked. He rushed out, grabbed the officer by the collar and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

But the yamen officer couldn't explain it at all, so Duan Changling was so angry that he kicked the yamen officer over, called his people, and rushed to the other courtyard where General Dai lived.

There was chaos in the courtyard. The deputy general, hundreds of households, the Dai family's housekeeper were all present, and even General Dai's favorite concubine was here.

"How did General Dai get assassinated? Tell me quickly!" Duan Changling pointed at Butler Dai and asked.

When Butler Dai saw that it was Duan Changling who was asking the question, he did not dare to be negligent and said: "I'd like to report to Duan Tongzhi, but the old slaves don't know. When I came to call the general to get up this morning, he saw that the general was hit by an arrow in the back and was already unconscious."

"I don't know?" Duan Changling shouted: "Who was the guard last night? Didn't you hear anything?!"

Speaking of this, Butler Dai said: "The people who protected the general last night were members of the Dai family. They were all poisoned and are still unconscious."
