Proudly follow your heart

Little tiger.

Xiao Hu standing in front of the door is naturally not young, and his figure is even more burly. In any case, he and the word "small" cannot be connected together, but someone just called it that, and it seems that it has nothing to do with him. strangeness.

Jun Zhanran and Nangong Cang Ao immediately looked at each other meaningfully. No one thought that Xiao Hu and this Landong envoy were old acquaintances.

Xiao Hu was still standing inside the tent door, he had come to report the news, but now he seemed to have forgotten why he was here, and also forgot what he was talking about.

He looked at Tiemei as if he had seen a ghost or a fairy.

Xiao Hu is over 30 years old, and he has been with Jun Zhanran for many years. If he met this Langdong envoy, it must be before that, when Nangong Cangao secretly calculated in his heart, and for the first time became suspicious of Xiao Hu's origin.

Xiao Hu didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't notice Jun Zhanran's gaze on the other side. He stared at Tiemei, as if it took him a while to remember how to react. The Langdong envoy had already called him first.

"Xiao Hu, you are still alive..." She was seven or eight years younger than him, and she was not yet thirty, and her face was not old, but when she said these words, she became vicissitudes.

"I didn't expect that you were still alive. I thought that all of your clan had already—" Seeing the old friend again, Xiao Hu finally calmed down, didn't say anything, and noticed the gazes of Jun Zhanran and Nangong Cangao, "Her name is Tiemei, I must have watched her grow up." Avoiding Jun Zhanran's gaze, he lowered his head and said.

"What do you think about growing up? At that time, you were only in your 20s, and you sounded like an old man." Tiemei laughed, "I didn't expect you to be in Wulou now. Before, you said you wanted to travel all over the world. Looks like you're really close to it."

She was smiling, but her eyes only sighed, and she even avoided talking about the topics of her tribe.

Jun Zhanran turned his gaze, "Xiao Hu, are you from Landong?"

He asked directly, Xiao Hu raised his head quickly, gritted his teeth, and knelt down with a plop, "Back to the original poster, Xiao Hu is guilty!"

"What's the crime?" From Jun Zhanran's face, he couldn't see his joy or anger, nor could he guess his thoughts, he just stood there without even moving his clothes.

This is Wulou's matter, Nangong Cangao didn't intervene, but he stood on one side, the atmosphere was different during the silence, Xiao Hu could even detect the buzzing of the Zheri Saber.

Tiemei didn't expect it to evolve to this point. He knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "I shouldn't hide my identity, but to be honest, for me, Xiao Hu, it doesn't matter whether it's Xia Guo, Lan Dong, or even Rin Nan. , Beijiang, there is no difference."

"Why didn't I realize in the past that you are so eloquent." The voice from above was faint, every time Jun Zhanran was displeased or thoughtful, his tone was always so faint of.

Xiao Hu served on the left and right, but it wasn't that he couldn't tell the difference.

He could even guess why Jun Zhanran was unhappy. If it were him, if he suddenly found out that his confidant was from another country, he would definitely be suspicious.

"The landlord! Xiao Hu dared to use his own life as a guarantee, and he has never done anything that is not good for the Wulou! Please be aware of the landlord!" Not knowing how to explain, he clenched his fists and his face turned red.

Tiemei regretted it too late, she finally realized the key point, if Jun Zhanran was just the owner of Wulou, then there would be no problem, even if there was, it would be just a small problem.

But he is not just the landlord of Wulou, but also the royal family of the Xia Kingdom. He is the King Zhan who is borrowing the power of other countries to deal with several countries and may ascend to the throne of the Xia Kingdom in the future.

King Xia Guozhan's confidant is actually a native of Langdong. Once it is said, Emperor Xia Guoping and Kang Huang will certainly think more about it, and the other countries don't know what they will think.

The sound of practice outside came faintly, but the tent seemed even more silent. Jun Zhanran did not answer, Xiao Hu kept kneeling, and Tie Mei was by the side, not knowing what to do. If she explained it in her capacity, it would probably only be worse.

"It's a pity, no matter how long he kneels, he's still from Langdong, Zhanran will never plan to watch him kneel down forever." The person beside Jun Zhanran said, "I can't agree if you want to, you've been Looking at him like this, aren't you afraid that I'll taste it?"

"Cang Ao!" Jun Zhanran couldn't laugh or cry, this is not the time to be joking.

"I don't think he will do anything. If he really wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago." This time Nangong Cang Ao replied seriously.

"I'm not worried about what he will do." Jun Zhanran's eyes fell on Xiao Hu, and he frowned slightly.

Xiao Hu looks like a rough man, but his heart is very careful. He seems to have read the disappointment in Jun Zhanran's eyes, "The landlord..."

"I thought everything in the Wulou was the most real and the only thing I could believe in." Jun Zhanran couldn't hear much regret or frustration in his tone, "I didn't expect that there were also people in the Wulou who I didn't like. know things."

He said, laughing like self-deprecating, "Xiao Hu, get up, there are other things that are more important right now." After speaking, he waved his hand, turned around, and stopped talking.

Xiao Hu hesitated for a moment, then stood up, wanting to explain again, facing the back, but didn't know what to say, Tie Mei gently pulled his sleeve, and the two left the tent together.

"Now I'm really going to eat it. Does Xiao Hu's concealment really make you so unhappy?" A pair of warm arms embraced Jun Zhanran from behind, and the body temperature attached to the back reminded Nangong Cang Ao's existence.

"It's really unpleasant." Jun Zhanran answered directly, his eyes were slightly closed, Nangong Cangao could see the trembling eyelashes, and he could also see his slightly frowning brow.

"But?" He took it, and kissed the side of Jun Zhanran's face with his lips.

"But—" he really understood him, the corners of Jun Zhanran's mouth raised, but Nangong Cangao didn't wait for him to speak, "But if this displeasure can make Landong envoy feel guilty, it will be beneficial to us, instead of hiding it, Might as well reveal it, huh?"

Jun Zhanran turned around, Nangong Cangao's eyes were shining brightly in the half-light, "It's okay to exaggerate a little bit, so the more guilty she feels, the harder it is to maintain her original position, the easier it is Let Landong make a decision in our favor."

There was a dark light in the black eyes, Jun Zhan didn't answer, and faced the other pair of sharp eyes, their eyes met, and the two laughed together.

"Xiao Hu is indeed loyal. I don't doubt his loyalty. Since Tie Mei is his childhood sweetheart, as long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, I won't touch him. But it has to do with Landong's attitude. I have to do this." Do it." Contrary to the impression given by the appearance, some people are actually very good at acting.

"Of course, you do have some displeasure in your heart. This use of excuses to frighten Xiao Hu is also a punishment for him." Nangong Cang Ao had already experienced his acting skills.

He was right, Jun Zhanran raised his eyebrows, "Sometimes I really wonder if you have the ability to read minds."

"If there is, I can only read Zhanran's heart." Nangong Cangao approached ambiguously, and he did not forget the topic they were discussing before Xiao Hu came in. He didn't want the atmosphere to become tense, and Jun Zhanran obviously didn't want to either.

He didn't mention any more about the throne or concubine, and when he turned his eyes, both of them focused on the letter sent by Xiao Hu.

This is not good news.

In fact, Xia's domestic and foreign troubles are at the end of the battle, but the centipede is dead but not stiff, not to mention that it has not really fallen, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the throne is replaced.

Jun Zhanran used to be just a little short of attacking the capital of Shun, but now the capital of Shun is safe and sound, but the person on the throne of the kingdom of Xia is still restless at night, because besides the kingdom of Xia, there is another Mu Zhaoran who is leading the army Garrison.

Mu Zhaoran led the troops outside, waiting for Jun Zhanran to lead the troops to help. He also wanted to wait for Nangong Cang Ao in Shundu to come to cooperate with the outside world, but at that time Nangong Cang Ao and Jun Zhanran were both trapped in Lintian Valley and got After hearing the news, he had to withdraw from the border of Xia Kingdom.

He also fought against Xia Jun, but they couldn't help each other. Xia Guo wanted to save his troops to protect himself, but Mu Zhaoran's Rinnan soldiers and horses were unwilling to trade in. What's more, he was stupid because he was forced to lead the army. I don't want to take too much risk.

At this moment, something went wrong in Linnan Palace.

This problem does not lie with Rinnan Wang Anjia, but it is a fact that he is very poisonous and unable to solve it. Mu Zhaoxia was in Rinnan, and somehow she was seen by a member of the court. She fell in love with her at first sight and tried her best Get her out of the place of house arrest, under the pretense of changing a place to take care of her.

Over time, something went wrong.

Undoubtedly, Mu Zhaoxia is a rare beauty, and it is not surprising that someone takes a fancy to her. Although she is from the Xia Kingdom, she is only a hostage right now. To hostages from other countries, it is like a gift from the royal family. It is not uncommon to want to enjoy it.

In this way, a certain nephew of King Anjia had this idea, and quarreled with that minister again, and for a while, the government and the public were no longer calm.

If it wasn't for Jun Zhanran and Nangong Cangao's arrival, Mu Zhaoxia would not have stayed in Linnan, nor would there have been a rift between the government and China. Once this kind of dissatisfaction accumulated in her heart was provoked, she would not be able to suppress it anymore.

Seeing that it was about to become a civil strife, some people suggested that the soldiers and horses who wanted to return to the outside should settle down first instead of fighting the outside.

Others suggested that Mu Zhaoxia, the culprit, be captured and beheaded for the crime of confusing the court.

Jun Zhanran and the others have received this news, and it will soon reach Mu Zhaoran's ears. By then...

In the early morning, the sound of horses' hooves on a pipe.

There are men and women in this group. Some men are dressed in black and speak casually, while others are well-trained, with a vigilant face, and even the sound of hooves is patchwork, just like a well-trained master.

The two leaders are Jun Zhanran and Nangong Cangao, and the only woman is Tiemei, the envoy of Landong Kingdom. Because of Xiao Hu, she insisted on accompanying her. After half a day, he agreed.

"If Mu Zhaoran knew that his sister had caused such a big trouble in Rinnan, he would definitely have no intention of leading the army." Before leaving, Nangong Cang Ao once said this. He and Mu Zhaoran knew each other well, so he was right. .

"If Mu Zhaoxia is not dead, even if King An Jia is willing to help, other people will probably not agree. If the beauty is not eliminated, and the news spreads, it will be difficult for the Linnan soldiers and horses we borrowed to be obedient again. Yang Lin must be the first one not to agree." The news was too sudden, and the elbow and armpit changed drastically. Without Lin Nan's help, the situation would change again.

Before setting off, the two discussed countermeasures regarding the current changes.

It was the first time Nangong Cangao encountered such a dilemma, but he didn't feel too distressed, on the contrary, he became more interested, "If Mu Zhaoxia is executed, Mu Zhaoran is outside the gate of Xia Kingdom, and he has Lin Nan in his hand." Soldiers and horses, what do you think he will do?"

Jun Zhanran was not in such a good mood, "So the most urgent thing is to stabilize Mu Zhaoran first."

"Yang Ling doesn't know about this yet, if we leave suddenly he will doubt it, how about..."

"Send troops."

Waiting to say these two words seems to have been waiting for a long time. When Jun Zhanran opened his mouth, there was a murderous look.

Nangong Cang Ao was waiting for this moment, so he clapped his hands. "Come on!"

"exist!"

"Pass the order! After tomorrow, send troops to Xia Guo!"

The guard was stunned, and was about to step back when he was ordered, but Nangong Cangao stepped out earlier. Outside the tent, Yang Ling was leading people to train soldiers. On the other side, Beijiang's female general Ao Wei was watching attentively. Seeing Nangong Cangao, Everyone suddenly had a premonition in their hearts and calmed down.

Crap, the red light came out of its sheath, the black clothes flew up, and a pair of eagle eyes looked around, "The time to pay back the blood debt has come!"

Could it be? !Everyone held their breath, and someone walked out of the tent, looking at Jun Zhanran with both eyes, and only heard someone shouting in their ears. "Eagle Commander has an order—after tomorrow—to send troops to Xia Kingdom—"
