In addition to the two hundred generals, Kuai Lantu, the governor of Nanzhong, also has ten sets of heavy armor and fifteen sets of light fur coats. The city guard equipment of the town is nothing more than that.

The moment he received Sun Jiao's letter, he knew that the day he had been looking forward to would come soon.

Fu Zhicheng had been the emperor for a long time, and he was rude and arrogant. More than once, he gave Kuai Lantu, the person sent by the court to monitor him, shame in front of people. The hatred between the two has a long history.

The emperor is determined to gather the military power of the whole territory and carry out the drum beating order, so one person must come to sacrifice the flag first. The northwest is Gu Yun's territory and cannot be moved for the time being. The south of the Yangtze River is mainly a navy, and the navy is responsible for monitoring the ships going to and from the west. The most important thing is the scourge of the Japanese pirates. It is inconvenient to move first. The army of the Central Plains is in the middle of the country.

If Fu Zhicheng was smart, at this time he should have honestly squatted in southern Xinjiang and pretended that he didn't exist, but he still jumped out and threatened the court in the name of Ding You.

A family member stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the fire oil is ready."

Kuai Lantu took the clairvoyance, and glanced at the charming green hill in front of him from afar——the owner of this hill was originally a Taoist priest named Jingxu, because the emperor believed in Buddhism, and the people followed suit one after another. Seeing that he was deceitful, he came to rob him, Jingxu beat a local ruffian to death in a fit of rage, and since then had nowhere to go, he had no choice but to go up the mountain and become a bandit.

This person was literate, ruthless, and very personal, and later became the leader of the bandits in the three hundred miles of southern Xinjiang.

Kuai Lantu knew that Jingxu and Fu Zhicheng wore the same pair of pants, and if he wanted to kill Fu Zhicheng, he would have to strike at this Taoist priest.

As early as when the emperor invited Gu Yun with the golden medal, Kuai Lantu and Sun Jiao made a plan. He first spread the news in southern Xinjiang, saying that the imperial envoy was coming to thoroughly investigate the case of Fu Zhicheng's collusion with bandits.

In order to ensure that the imperial envoy does not go wrong, Fu Zhicheng must have explained to the bandit leaders in advance that the "Fujun imperial envoy" is coming, and ordered them to restrain their subordinates. In this way, do these bandits listen to General Fu or rumors?If Fu Zhicheng was in doubt, and dismissed the imperial envoy for investigating the case as an "imperial envoy of Fujun", what would the bandit leaders think?

When the imperial envoy entered the country, Kuai Lantu received a letter from Sun Jiao and sent someone to pretend to be a garrison in southern Xinjiang to find Jingxu. He said that the carriages of Marquis Anding and the imperial envoy had been robbed halfway. Had to ask the Taoist priest for help.

Jingxu and Fu Zhicheng had the best friendship, no matter whether he had any doubts in his heart, he would take care of him at this juncture, and when he heard about it, he became very loyal and rushed over immediately.

They walked forward, and Kuai Lantu and others who were ambushing in the mountains blocked the mountain road with heavy armor on their back feet. Thousands of feathered arrows dipped in kerosene were placed on strings, and Jing Xu's old nest was burned down.

Qingqiu and heavy armor patrolled the mountains, and when they saw someone escaped, they shot a short cannon. The bandits guarding the mountain, the old and the weak, women and children in the mountain were all treated equally, and they would not let them go. Ventilate the news.

"It's almost time, let's go, let's go see Marshal Gu." Kuai Lantu waved his hand, and the heavy armor and light fur coat and two hundred elite soldiers were well-trained and ready to march. Kuai Lantu stepped on the horse, looked back and was licked by the fire A bloody hilltop said casually, "Listen to Fu Zhicheng's excuses, what bandits are cunning, what's the 'wild fire that burns endlessly, and the spring breeze blows again', I burned the wild fire, let's see how they blow it Reborn—drive!"

Now, the bandits all over the country knew that Fu Zhicheng had used a tactic to delay the attack. In order to protect himself from the imperial envoy, he attacked the former "brothers".

Kuai Lantu just wants the bandits and Fu Zhicheng to bite the dog. Isn't Fu Zhicheng conceited and smart, thinking that no one can catch him?

Of course, in order to prevent the dog surnamed Fu from jumping over the wall in a hurry and committing trouble, Sun Jiao specially invited Marquis Anding to sit in charge.

The Marquis of Anding, Gu Yun, stood before he arrived, and he might be very intimidating against a handful of rebels, but he might not be able to hold down a feudal official like Fu Zhicheng who crawled out of the dead - but that's okay, whoever let the old Marquis of Anding be against him? Does it have the grace of supporting and knowing you?

Kuai Lantu was sure that Fu Zhicheng would not dare to touch Gu Yun. Although most of the old Marquis Anding's old troops had already retired from the army, but the relationship was intertwined and his prestige was still there. It's enough for him to drink a pot when the internal turmoil rises.

Besides, no matter how rampant that surnamed Fu is, he wouldn't think that the garrison in southern Xinjiang has the ability to rise up and shake the cornerstone of the great beam, right?

Just after they turned and left, a palm-sized wooden bird rolled its eyes, fluttered its wings, and flew into the sky in the thick smoke and blood. It turned into a small black spot and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, Fu Zhicheng, who was stationed in the Southern Border Army, received the news that Marquis Anding's frame had been robbed. He jumped up and grabbed the scout by the collar: "Where is Marquis Anding now?"

The scout said: "Marquis Anding shot and killed Xingzilin, but for some reason, he stayed in Xingzilin's old nest and did not leave. He also replaced the original flag with the handsome flag of Xuantieying."

After Fu Zhicheng heard this, his face twitched for a moment, and he raised his hand and knocked the wine glass and tea bowl on the table to the ground, and said in a hateful voice: "It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than enough to fail!"

The scout didn't dare to come out and knelt on one knee, watching the commander of the southern Xinjiang garrison walking around the house like a beast - Gu Yun wiped out the Xingzilin bandit den, he wouldn't be surprised, if Gu Yun was really caught If it is robbed, that is a rare anecdote.

The question is... What exactly does Anding Hou mean?

Why didn't he continue on his way, but stayed in Xingzilin?

If it was just for the trial of bandits, why did you change the flag?

Who is he waiting for?What is he waiting for?

Gu Yun came here in the name of expressing his condolences to Fujun, why did he carry the commander-in-chief of Xuantieying by his side?

Since the Shuai Qi is there, is the Black Iron Tiger Talisman there?

Is there really only a few guards and a useless waiter around him?

And the governor of Nanzhong, a hundred miles away, must have prepared a large basket of black mud to wipe on his body. Has Gu Yun had contact with him beforehand?

Where exactly is Gu Yun on?

Fu Zhicheng's eyelids twitched. He was originally under the old Andinghou's command, but he hadn't dealt with Gu Yun much, and he knew that Gu Yun could not understand his bandit behavior.

Fu Zhicheng was very confused about Gu Yun's visit.

"Prepare the horse," Fu Zhicheng said abruptly, "Shan Hu, White Wolf and Linghu Three Battalions follow me, follow me to meet Marquis Anding and the imperial envoy, Lin Bao is on standby, and is ready to go at any time when the fireworks show."

The scouts looked at Fu Zhicheng suspiciously - General Fu mobilized nearly half of the troops in the Southern Xinjiang garrison, did he go to watch the Marquis of Anding, or to encircle and suppress the Marquis of Anding?

Fu Zhicheng took off the halberd from the wall and said angrily, "What are you dawdling about!"

Following the governor's family general, the southern Xinjiang garrison, with nearly half of its strength, opened the way to Xingzilin without turning back.

As the night darkened, on the official roads in southern Xinjiang, the large and small caravans who had missed Sutou began to set up temporary tents on the side of the road, and the traveling merchants who traveled all over the country used to sit in the sky, leaving only the night watchman and torches behind, and gradually fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the ups and downs of cuckoo calls came from the forest.

The night watchman and some pretending to be asleep stood up one after another. They didn't speak to each other, and they only made eye contact when they passed by each other. They sneaked silently behind the accompanying truck.

There are interlayers in the trucks that pull the goods. When the goods on the top are peeled off, the cold armor underneath is exposed without a trace of reflection.

Groups of night walkers buckled their steel armor on their bodies with lightning speed, including "eagles", "armors", and some light fur cavalry.

Turning around, I merged into the night from all directions. The mountains and forests shook for a moment, and the sleeping bird was surprised, but after a while, it was as quiet as before.

Only those scattered caravan torches are left scattered on the mountainous, tortuous and complicated land in southern Xinjiang, like a handful of scattered gold.

That night, many complex forces and people with ulterior motives from all walks of life were rushing in the direction of Xingzilin.

The bandit leader Xingzilin who died under the rock probably would never have imagined that he was like a vital thread, and a stupid decision inadvertently ignited the imminent situation in southern Xinjiang.

In Xingzilin's old bandit den, a group of bandits gritted their teeth and said they didn't know anything about the imperial envoy's visit. Sun Jiao interrogated him for a while, but couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up and keep looking at the door. .

Gu Yun simply ate two mouthfuls of something to fill his stomach, then wiped his mouth and didn't move his chopsticks. Seeing that Sun Jiao looked like he had nails on his butt, he smiled and said, "Sun Shilang, I don't have enough time for this meal, you I have already looked at the door seven or eight times, but have you ever hoped for Governor Kuai?"

Sun Jiao's complexion changed a little, and he forced a smile and said, "The commander-in-chief was joking—the commander-in-chief is not to his liking, why don't you add more?"

"No," Gu Yun glanced at him pointedly, "If you eat too much and don't move, it's almost enough. By the way, Ji Ping, if you're okay, count how much gold and silver is in this gangster's lair. We can't Baijie bandits, I will pack them up and take them away later."

Sun Jiao: "..."

Gu Yun: "Master Sun won't go back and read me a book, will he? Well, to tell you the truth, the military department is stingy, and life in the Black Iron Camp is not easy."

The bandits who were tied up in a ball were still very clever, and hurriedly said: "We have an account book! Yes! It's on... it's on there!"

Shen Yi looked back, and saw that there was actually a "dark room" here - a big ladder was propped in the corner, leading directly to the roof, and a pile of thatch covered a small attic on the beams.

"That's great," Shen Yixin said, "I've become the accountant in the chicken coop again."

At this moment, Kuai Lantu first arrived at Xingzilin.

Kuai Lantu strode in with his generals, with blood and fire still on his body, as if he was still full of murderous intent.He took a step forward and said in a confident voice: "Xiaguan Kuai Lantu, the governor of Nanzhong, has met Marquis Anding, Mr. Sun, all the generals, and this..."

Chang Geng smiled at him and said, "Li Min."

Kuai Lantu: "..."

Sun Jiao hurriedly lowered his voice and reminded: "Don't be rude, that is King Yanbei, Fourth Highness!"

Kuai Lantu was taken aback.

The emperor's younger brother Li Min has never appeared in front of the world. Most people only know that he was once a homeless man. After he got back, he has been living in the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, living in secluded places. I know that although this young man is noble, there is actually nothing to worry about, but he is an unexpected variable after all, which always makes people uneasy.

As if foreshadowing something, the corners of Kuai Lantu's eyes twitched violently.

Before he could speak, a general walked in quickly and whispered in Kuai Lantu's ear.

Gu Yun: "Why, the spittle of Mr. Kuai's family is so precious, why don't you let us hear it?"

Kuai Lantu kicked the general away: "Presumptuous, how decent is it for Lord Hou and His Highness to whisper to each other in front of you!"

The general received a kick from him that was neither light nor heavy, and there was no resentment on his face. He immediately half-kneeled on the ground and reported: "Report to my lords, tens of thousands of troops are coming towards Xingzilin. People who are stationed in Xinjiang!"

After the words were lost, a strange vanguard officer came to the mountainside, and the governor's family raised all their swords, guns, swords and halberds, as if the night was shining coldly.

The vanguard officer was not afraid at all, he only said loudly: "Governor of the Southwest Fu Zhicheng, lead your own soldiers to welcome the commander in chief!"

Gu Yun's expression was indifferent, and he thought: "The surname Fu can really kill."

Kuai Lantu subconsciously glanced at Chang Geng once again, Chang Geng smiled at him, turned around unhurriedly, walked to the ladder in the corner, and climbed up to the attic where the ledger was hidden.

Kuai Lantu realized that the opportunity must not be missed, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Marshal, I have something to report!"

Gu Yun raised his eyelids.

Kuai Lantu: "Then Fu Zhicheng, as the guard of one party, neglected his duties, colluded with bandits, fished and common people, and had external contacts in Nanyang. He has a clear intention to plot rebellion. Please prepare early, Commander!"

"Oh, is that so?" Gu Yun was not surprised when he heard that, but just turned the old Buddhist beads in his hand a few times on his fingertips, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he said, "Then please come up."

Kuai Lantu and Sun Jiao looked at each other, thinking that they had the wrong ears.

Gu Yun: "Invite General Fu up here, and I'll see how he plans to plot rebellion."

Chang Geng climbed up to the small attic, there was a hole in the sky, there were windows and a skylight, and the view was good. From the skylight, it was the place where the Xingzilin bandit nests planted flags. Shen Yi set up a tall torch next to it, and it was burning What, a wisp of white smoke that can't be blown by the wind rises straight into the sky.

Chang Geng said with a smile: "I thought General Shen was here to work as an accountant, thinking of helping out, but it turned out that he was here for some wolf smoke."

Shen Yi jumped down from the skylight, and asked curiously: "Does Your Highness still understand? What have you been doing all these years away from home?"

Chang Geng: "It's nothing, I learned medical skills from Ms. Chen for a period of time, and occasionally helped a few friends in the world, ran errands, and even rode in a caravan. I know a little about everything."

Seeing that he was prevaricating, Shen Yi wisely didn't ask any further questions. A person's knowledge and experience cannot be pretended, no matter how young a tender young man pretends to be calm, someone with a heart can see the clues.

Chang Geng's experience of traveling the rivers and lakes in the past few years must not be simple, otherwise he would not have that unpredictable meaning that cannot be discerned.

Chang Geng pushed open the small window on the attic and looked out.

I saw the mighty team at the foot of the mountain meandering up, with handsome flags flying like big banners.

Inside the torch, the armor was cold and steaming, like a panting dragon.

It has been ten years since Fu Zhicheng led the garrison in southern Xinjiang, and he is about to become a local emperor in southern Xinjiang. Now if he brings 200 people to "suppress the bandits and welcome the imperial envoys", he still has room for maneuver, but he actually took half of southern Xinjiang The garrisons were pulled out.

Chang Geng said: "At the beginning, the adoptive father might have wanted to protect General Fu, but now it seems that he can't."

"It seems that not only does he not appreciate it, but he also plans to throw a cup for us." Shen Yi looked at Chang Geng's calm side face, "Your Highness has such a calm and calm general demeanor at a young age, It's really rare."

"Once born and second time acquaintance," Chang Geng said calmly, "The last time I went deep into the rebel lair in the East China Sea with my adoptive father, I really didn't have a clue. That time he was only surrounded by a few of us who were useless, and there were a few who didn't know how to contact us." When I went to the rivers and lakes that I couldn’t reach to help, the navy didn’t know how long it would take to get there, and I didn’t know if I could receive the letters from us along the way—he was still talking and laughing freely, and he retreated. At that time, I understood one thing .”

Shen Yi: "What?"

Chang Geng: "Fear is unreasonable."

Shen Yi thought for a while, shook his head and smiled: "Of course, everyone knows that fear is unreasonable, but it's like people will be hungry at a certain point, and they will be cold if they don't wear clothes. They are all natural reactions of the body. How can people restrain themselves?" What about your body's reaction?"

A not-so-obvious smile appeared on Chang Geng's face: "Yes."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, he suddenly had an inexplicable intuition that there seemed to be a lot of words hidden in Chang Geng's "yes".

Chang Geng: "I believe that as long as you are willing, nothing in the world can defeat you, including this skin."

These words were unremarkable to the ear, but Chang Geng's demeanor and tone of voice were too firm when he spoke, so firm that there was a strange hint of bewitching, making people involuntarily convinced.

Shen Yi: "Your Highness, the last time you were trapped in the East China Sea with the commander in chief, there were still dozens of Linyuan Pavilion masters by your side. It can be said that the inside and the outside cooperated. This time it is different. We only have Sun Shilang who is dedicated to carrying out the drumming order, and Sun Shilang." Governor Kuai with malicious intentions, and Fu Zhicheng is probably about to hit the mountain—he has thousands of troops in his hands, isn't it worse than what happened to you last time? Isn't Your Highness worried?"

Chang Geng smiled calmly and said: "I'm not worried, as soon as I saw the commander-in-chief of the Xuantie camp on the attic, I felt that there were three thousand black iron cavalry hidden in the southwest mountain forest, and I couldn't help but feel at ease."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he put his forehead on his forehead and smiled wryly, almost sweating for Gu Yun, this little highness of their family deserves to be the Empress of the True Dragon, but he is really not an easy-going lamp.

Chang Geng: "Besides, General Shen also knows, right? My adoptive father may not want to protect Fu Zhicheng wholeheartedly."

Shen Yi: "..."

I really do not know this one!
