After Zhang Yu left, Su Le paced back and forth in the camp, thinking repeatedly about Xia Shuang's marriage to Lu Huang. His mind was in a mess for a while, and he wanted to fly to the capital immediately to investigate. But he was still waiting, he wanted to
When Hou Shun comes back, if the current situation is not clear, there will be no way to start even if he goes to the capital.
In the evening, Hou Shun finally returned. Hou Shun first reported to Su Le the military information that the other three major noble families were fighting with the enemy. Previously, the three major noble families, Zhang family, Yue family and Feng family, led their private armies to fight against the merchant army and the enemy.
black ship battle,
The battle situation is very good, and the three major enemies have been defeated repeatedly. Now, the Shang army has retreated to Tongde Pass, but the black ships are still guarding the eastern border of Xia Kingdom at Cuiping Mountain, and have repeatedly fought with the private soldiers of the Zhang family, Feng family, and Yue family.
, it seems that the war has reached a stalemate.
However, the intelligence brought back by Hou Shun was very different from the military information reported by the three major clans. Hou Shun rushed to the Cuiping Mountain scene in person, only to discover that although the 100,000 private soldiers of the three major clans were still confronting the 150,000 troops of the Black Ship
Relying on, but not fighting,
There was not a single corpse on the battlefield at Cuiping Mountain. Later, Hou Shun infiltrated into the coalition of the three major gentry clans. After inquiring, he found out that since the Black Ship Army retreated to Cuiping Mountain, although the two sides had fought several times with great fanfare,
There were very few casualties.
The second piece of information was detected by Hou Shun's scout team (now reorganized into the Shadow Battalion). The Shang army suddenly withdrew. There were two reasons from the Shang Kingdom: The first theory is that after An Ruyi obtained the Yongle treasure,
, wanted to use the Yongle treasure to conspire to rebel, defeat the Shang general Shang Shichao, and bring Shang Shichao to the throne.
It was under control and is now suppressing the opposition forces; the second theory is that Shang Shichao was dissatisfied with An Ruyi's control of the Shang State and did not take the initiative to hand over the treasure after grabbing it, so he wanted to take advantage of An Ruyi's lack of strength.
At that time, he killed them, seized the Yongle Treasure, and regained power in the Shang Kingdom. Today, the two sides are still at war.
Su Le frowned after listening to Hou Shun's report. The three major noble clans could clearly destroy the black ship, but they stopped moving forward. They must have used this to put pressure on Xia Yanbing and seek political interests. As for whether they had any relationship with the black ship.
It is difficult to determine whether the ship is colluding at the moment, but if Xia Yanbing cannot meet their demands, the day will not be far when the three major noble clans will collude with the enemy.
"No wonder the emperor agreed to Zhang Yu's elite battalion reorganization plan!" Su Le suddenly remembered the booklet on the reorganization of the Xijiang camp that Zhang Yu had taken in the morning, and said with a relieved smile.
Hou Shun watched Su Le talking to himself and asked inexplicably: "Reorganizing the elite battalion?"
"Well. The Xijiang Camp is about to be reorganized. I also reorganized the Kaishan Camp a few days ago. You will be the commander of the Shadow Camp from now on. I will tell you the specific details later. By the way, the Shang Army has withdrawn.
Where did you learn the reason?"
"Boss, I was also on my way back when I happened to meet a scout who had dispersed. The scout said that these two theories did not start to spread until two days after the Shang soldiers stationed at Tongde Pass." Hou Shun said.
"Oh, good! No matter what the situation is, it means that Shang State is currently in civil strife, which is a good thing!" When Su Le was about to let Hou Shun go down to rest, he suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "By the way, you are back.
Did you hear anything about His Highness Xia Shuang on the way?"
"Well... I did hear some news, but it may not be true." Hou Shun said a little embarrassed.
"What's the news? Is His Highness Xia Shuang getting married?" Su Le suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Hou Shun's hand and asked.
"Boss, do you know everything?" Hou Shun, as Su Le's confidant, naturally knew a little bit about him and Xia Shuang. He didn't want to tell Su Le the news at first, but when he asked about it, he was surprised at first.
"His Royal Highness Xia Shuang is going to marry Lu Huang, the prince of the Later Tang Dynasty. The time will be three days later. Lu Huang will bring people to marry His Highness. Now the capital is full of storms and everyone knows it!" Su Le greeted Su Le.
That anxious yet majestic gaze revealed all the information he had gleaned.
"What! Three days later?" A cold light flashed in Su Le's eyes. After a moment, he said to Hou Shun: "Monkey, hurry up and go to the party. We will rush to the capital overnight today!"
Seeing Su's solemn expression, Hou Shun nodded and went down to prepare.
After half a stick of incense, Su Le, Xia Yi, Xu Niu, and Hou Shun appeared in front of the main camp of the Kaishan Camp. Su Le held a dragon beast across the ground, held a long tiger mountain spear, carried a Tianyuan bow on his shoulder, and was dressed in gold.
The fish scale armor is majestic, imposing and murderous.
Xia Yi was still dressed in common clothes, riding a black dragon horse, expressionless, following Su Le closely; Xu Niu was looking at the tall night-shine black-maned horse that Su Le got for him, grinning.
In Hanxiao, Hou Shun looked a little tired, but still managed to keep his spirits up, urged his horse, and followed Su Le closely.
The group of four people worked hard and arrived outside the capital in two hours. This time, there was a group of soldiers guarding the tower of the capital, but the gate was wide open. It might not be curfew time yet, so the four people did not hesitate and rode in.
city.
The city is still as prosperous as ever, with all kinds of passers-by walking through the streets of the capital. Perhaps because Su Le's mount is rather weird, some passers-by stare at the four of them from time to time, but Su Le ignores them and just
I found an inn to stay in in the west of the city.
As soon as he arrived at the inn, Su Le called Hou Shun: "Monkey, if you work harder, go and find out whether the people from Hou Tang's wedding have arrived in the capital now. If so, how many people have come and what their strength is."
Hou Shun took a sip of tea, said "Yeah", and walked away.
"Sir, how about we go explore the Yang Mansion?" Su Le turned around and looked at Xia Yi with a smile.
"My master ordered me to follow you," Xia Yi said calmly, still expressionless.
"Okay! I want to see what tricks Yang Biao is going to play!" Su Le shouted, then turned to Xu Niu and said, "Daniu, just wait for us at the inn. If it's dawn, we won't be here yet."
When you come back, go to Yue Mansion to find Yue Shaoqing."
"Hey!" Xu Niu responded naively.
After the arrangements were made, Su Le and Xia Yi left the inn and went straight to the Yang Mansion.
When the two arrived in front of Yang's Mansion, they climbed over the tall courtyard wall. The courtyard was already very dark, but their eyesight was very good and they could barely see what was around them.
This is a courtyard, with several sycamore trees planted in the courtyard. Although it is late autumn, many sycamore leaves have fallen on the trees, but there is not a single fallen leaf on the ground. It must be that people from the Yang family clean it from time to time. It seems that this Yang Biao
He is also a thoughtful person.
Not far away, the lights were still on in the main halls, and there were vague figures of people. Su Le nodded towards Xia Yi, then calmed down and walked towards that room.
There seemed to be two people talking in the room. The voices were very low, but Su Le could barely hear them.
"This matter is of great importance. You must not slack off in the slightest. If you are not careful, our Yang family will suffer disaster. You must be extremely careful in your actions!" A calm and somewhat old voice sounded.
Su Le heard that the person speaking was Yang Biao, but he didn't know who he was talking to and what he was talking about.
"Brother, please rest assured that this matter has been carried out in secret. Apart from us, absolutely no one else knows about it." Another voice sounded. Judging from the tone, it should be Yang Biao's younger brother Yang Kui.
Su Le remembered this Yang Kui, whom he had met in Daqing City last time. He was the city lord of Daqing City and a sixth-level warrior. Although the Shang army had retreated to Tongde Pass, the strength of Daqing City was meager.
The Shang army might attack Daqing City at any time. If he didn't stay in Daqing City, why would he come back?
"By the way, how did you arrange for someone to destroy the marriage between Xia, Xia and Tang? If the marriage between Xia and Tang succeeds, it will be very detrimental to us. This matter must be arranged properly, and it is best to have Lu
Kill that kid Huang so we can watch the show!" Yang Biao's cold voice sounded.
Yang Biao also wanted to ruin Xia Shuang's marriage? Su Le was a little surprised. However, although the purpose was different, the means were the same. If he could ruin Xia Shuang's marriage, Su Le wouldn't mind "joining forces" with them.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm going to do this myself. With the trump card we have, even if Lu Huang comes with Duoyan Sanwei, I can still turn him upside down!" Yang Kui said confidently.
Su Le was shocked: Ace? What ace does the Yang family have? Could it be the mysterious army he saw that day?
"Who is that person!" A loud shout came from the room, and then Su Le felt a sharp murderous aura coming towards his face. Damn it! Maybe it was the trump card that Yang Kui said just now, and he was in a daze for a moment.
The breath made Yang Biao aware of it.
Just when the golden dart of vitality broke out of the window and was about to hit Su Le's door, Su Le suddenly felt a powerful ray of vitality pass through his body and hit the golden dart of vitality.
"Bang!" A muffled sound rang in Su Le's ears, and at the same time, a wave of energy blew up Su Le's hair.
Su Le turned around and saw that it was Xia Yi. He took Su Le's arm, and within two breaths, he jumped out of the Yang Mansion. Then he heard "there is an assassin" coming from the Yue Mansion behind him.
The cry was loud, but after a while, the cry stopped.
After leaving the Yang Mansion, Xia Yi took Su Le and quickly turned into an alley. After walking for half a stick of incense, Xia Yi stopped and said lightly: "That's it."
Su Le looked at the old man and thought to himself: What a brave man! From the moment he was discovered until now, his face has been expressionless and calm. This state of mind is really unusual! He asked worriedly: "No?
Come after me?"
"After chasing him for two streets, I stopped chasing him." Xia Yi said calmly.
"Okay! It's safe. Let's go back to the inn!" Su Le said with a sigh of relief.
After the two returned to the inn, Xu Niu was pacing back and forth at the door of the inn, looking at the street uneasily. When he saw Su Le and Xia Yi coming back, he hurried forward and said with a sad face: "Boss, it's not good! You
