Qin Xiao didn't know why the general chose him as his adopted son, but he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
From the time he could remember, he didn't know who his parents were. Although Old Man Zhong took good care of him, he never enjoyed the love of his father and mother.
Although the general did not adopt a son to give him fatherly love, he at least had a father in name.
If anyone else wanted to accept Qin Xiao as his adopted son, Qin Xiao would probably have beaten him with a big ear, but General Heiyu was different. This was a figure that Qin Xiao respected from the bottom of his heart. He could accept him as his adopted son.
It’s really something you can’t ask for.
Qin Xiao also guessed in his heart that the general's fancy for him should be related to Han Yunong and Meng Zimo.
Of course, it is impossible for the general to just accept an adopted son at will. Before that, he must have a very deep understanding of himself, and all of that was naturally known from the mouths of Han Yunong and Meng Zimo.
As the general said, he believed in Han Yunong's vision.
Su Changyu obviously knew nothing about the general's plan to accept his son. He was full of surprise for a moment and his lips moved slightly. He was about to say something. Qin Xiao watched his words. Before Su Changyu could say anything, he turned around suddenly and knelt down on one knee.
On the ground, he said respectfully: "Qin Xiao pays homage to his adoptive father!"
The last time Su Changyu went to Baihu Camp, he wanted to suppress the soldiers of Baihu Camp and then transfer them to Woye Town, but his wishful thinking was ruined by Qin Xiao, and he left disappointed.
Although Meng Zimo said that Su Changyu was broad-minded and would not care about anything, Qin Xiao always felt that Su Changyu might not be able to give up. When he saw that he was about to speak, he was afraid that he would stop the general from accepting his son, so he rushed to worship him before he could speak.
land.
Su Changyu glanced at Qin Xiao and rolled his eyes.
The general smiled and said: "Get up, we are soldiers, we do things neatly and neatly, and we don't need those vain rituals. I accept your worship, and you will be my third adopted son from now on." He added: "
From now on, Changyu will be your brother, and I have met your brother."
Qin Xiao turned to Su Changyu, cupped his hands and said, "Qin Xiao has met the second brother!"
Su Changyu said "hmm" without commenting.
"Get up and speak." The general ordered. When Qin Xiao got up, he said: "Although you are my adopted son, you must be more careful in your words and deeds in the future, and you must not act recklessly outside under my banner, otherwise you will be killed immediately."
Qin Xiao knew that the general could train an immortal army that was brave and good at fighting. Naturally, the military regulations were strict and he would never allow anyone to use his name to pretend to be a tiger.
"You remember, although we are adopted by the general as adopted sons, we still have to call the general, not the adopted father." Su Changyu is very experienced: "It is best not to let other people know about this matter."
Qin Xiao said: "Thank you, second brother, for your advice."
"It's best not to call me second brother." Su Changyu still raised his neck slightly.
The general stood up holding his waist and said, "What's the matter?"
Naturally, his question had nothing to do with what Su Changyu said.
"There is a letter from Turtle City." Su Changyu took out a letter and presented it to the general: "My eldest brother sent a horse to deliver it. My eldest brother ordered the messenger to say that the letter has arrived and I want the general to read it immediately. It is extremely urgent."
The general stretched out his hand to take the letter. It was already getting late at this time. He walked directly to the house. Su Changyu was very sensible. He quickened his pace and entered the house first. He went over to light the oil lamp.

superior.
The general did not let Qin Xiao follow him, nor did he let Qin Xiao leave. Qin Xiao hesitated and knew that the eldest brother Su Changyu was talking about could only be Han Yunong. Han Yunong sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that it was very urgent. Over there in Turtle City
Naturally, something happened. He wanted to know what happened. After thinking about it for a while, he followed into the house.
Su Changyu frowned slightly when he saw Qin Xiao following him into the room. He glanced at the general who had already sat down and opened the letter, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
The general glanced at the letter under the light, and his expression became serious.
Qin Xiao knew that the general was a man who had experienced strong winds and waves. What was a big deal in the eyes of others might be nothing to the general. To make the general's face become so solemn, it seemed that the matter was really not a small matter.
"General, what happened?" Su Changyu asked softly when he saw the general frowning.
The general raised his head and did not answer immediately. He was thoughtful and pondered for a moment before asking: "What is the current situation in Changyi Marquis Mansion?"
"These days, the Marquis of Changyi has been preparing to enter the customs." Su Changyu said: "Before Marquis Changyi left, he proposed to the Duhufu that the Duhufu send officials from the Hucao to follow the Yuwen family to count the accounts.
Changyi Hou means that in addition to the necessary relocation funds, the Yuwen family's property will be donated to the court, and the Duhufu will first inventory and collect it. The Duhufu has sent several officials to follow the Yuwen family to inventory the property. Currently, it is still
It’s just that in the city, the Yuwen family’s property is too big. In addition to the property in the city, there are also many private fields. In addition, the mines and horse farms need to be taken over, which will not be completed until the end of December at the earliest.”
The general nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Chang Yihou was ambushed and assassinated on his way to Beijing."
Qin Xiao and Su Changyu both changed their expressions in shock.
"General, Chang Yihou was assassinated?" Su Changyu asked anxiously: "Then what is his condition now?"
"The head was taken away." The general said: "Someone discovered the scene of the attack and immediately reported it to the police. After Yunong learned about it, he personally sent people to the scene of the crime. It is currently confirmed that there are no other people at the scene except Changyi Hou's attendants and him.
The headless corpse was found nearby, and the temporarily buried corpse of a wolf rider was found nearby." Although his eyes were stern, his expression was very calm: "Judging from the scene, it was the wolf rider who ambushed Changyi Hou."
Su Changyu frowned and said: "Langqi is so brave, he dared to ambush the Imperial Marquis." After a pause, he said: "Did Langqi know that the Zhen family and his son were killed by the Yuwen family, so he set up an ambush on the way to Beijing?
, want to avenge the Zhen family father and son?"
Qin Xiao was shocked. Hearing that Lord Yuwen was dead, he was worried about Yuwen Chengchao and asked: "General, what is the situation with Yuwen Chengchao?"
"There is no body of Yu Wen Chengchao at the scene." The general said: "If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Wen Chengchao should have escaped the ambush, but no one knows his current whereabouts."
"If Yuwen Chengchao escaped death, he should immediately return to Fenggan Mansion and report the matter to the general." Qin Xiao frowned: "Now that Captain Han's letter has been delivered, the eldest son has not returned yet.
What happened in the middle?"
Su Changyu said unexpectedly: "Qin Xiao is right. Yuwen Chengchao was ambushed. If he was still alive, he would quickly return to Fenggan Mansion to find the general to make the decision. But he did not show up, nor did he return to Changyi
Marquis." At this time, he realized why the general asked about the situation of Yuwen's family.
"Because Yuwen Chengchao thought that I sent someone to instruct the wolf cavalry to ambush him halfway." The general sighed.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In a tone of voice, he handed the letter in his hand to Su Changyu, "It is said that Yuwen Chengchao is the most intelligent among the disciples of the Xiling family, but...it seems that this is not the case."
Qin Xiao was even more surprised. Su Changyu took the letter with both hands and looked at it carefully under the lamp.
"Yunong discovered the buried body of the Wolf Cavalry, and investigated the Wolf Cavalry's side with Governor Du, and found that the Wolf Cavalry commander Tang Wuhen was missing." The general said: "In addition, the Wolf Cavalry who participated in the ambush was found alive.
After these people participated in the ambush under the leadership of Tang Wuhen, they split into two groups with Tang Wuhen. They returned to the camp, but Tang Wuhen escorted Yuwen Chengchao to another group. However, the whereabouts of Tang Wuhen's group
They have been found, and almost all of them were shot to death, except for the bodies of Tang Wuhen and Yuwen Chengchao."
Qin Xiaowan did not expect such a tragic thing to happen.
"Tang Wuhen's family members in Turtle City suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown." The general added: "It is not known whether Tang Wuhen is alive or dead, but in many places in Turtle City, many complaints were suddenly posted on the streets and alleys.
And Du Hongsheng also received the complaint."
"The complaint states that Tang Wuhen was instructed by Black Feather Night Crow to lead a wolf cavalry to ambush Changyi Marquis on the road." The general said, "Ye Crow did this because he wanted to avenge the Xiling family for staying out of the incident sixteen years ago.
It was a blood feud, but Ye Ya couldn't take action himself, so he used Wolf Cavalry to borrow a knife to kill people, and then killed people to silence him afterwards." His tone was calm and extremely calm: "The complaint was written in Tang Wuhen's tone, and even said that if the court really wants to
Investigate this case and he is willing to testify."
Su Changyu quickly read the letter, with a stern look on his face, and said: "These days, Ye Ya has not left the city even half a step. Tang Wuhen is making a false accusation."
"But the people in Turtle City have already seen the complaint, and many people may have believed what it said." The general said calmly: "It seems that the situation in Xiling is more complicated than I thought." He stroked his thick beard and said: "
There are people plotting ulterior plans somewhere we can't see."
Su Changyu said: "Almost all of Tang Wuhen's troops were wiped out, but Tang Wuhen was leaked and allowed him to escape death. Of course, this was deliberately to keep him alive and use his mouth to kill Chang Yihou.
The spearhead is pointed at us."
"Yuwen Chengchao has also become a chess piece." The general said thoughtfully: "Perhaps all the Xiling aristocratic families will also become chess pieces."
Qin Xiaodao: "General, if I know the whereabouts of the eldest son, I can prove to him that someone is pretending to be Ye Crow and deliberately provoking the people of Xiling to misunderstand Black Feather Night Crow."
"I can understand how Yu Wen Chengchao feels now that Chang Yi Hou was killed." The general sighed: "I just hope he won't be blinded by anger, sink deeper and deeper, and make an irreparable mistake in the end." After thinking about it.
After thinking about it, he said: "You two get ready and leave for Fan County as soon as possible."
"Fan County?" Su Changyu was startled.
The general said solemnly: "Someone wants to use this matter to shake the hearts of the Xiling family. Who is behind the plan? We can't find out for a while. Since he dares to do this, he has made preparations. It is impossible for us to find out in a short time."
." The general who was still watering the yard like an ordinary old man before now had his eyes shining brightly, and his whole body was changing unconsciously, like a tiger waking up: "The three horses of Xiling will be reorganized immediately, at least they can't.
Let others have the opportunity to mobilize themselves, and you take the White Tiger Camp to Fan County to form a battalion with Fan Qi."
