Before dawn, the south gate was opened in advance. Tens of thousands of people and horses rushed out of the city like a long dragon, and hundreds of riders pressed ahead.

Such a movement also made many people in the city wake up in advance.

At noon, tens of thousands of people appeared more than 20 miles from the capital, invaded a large area of fertile land and surrounded a villa near mountains and rivers.

Outside the villa, where the gate was closed, a row of sergeants stood and shouted together to let the people inside open the gate immediately and catch them, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

The villa yard was in a mess. The villa leader Zong Yanling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot under the eaves. "What's the matter? What's the matter? Is there something wrong with my father that offended the court?"

Two servants, one old and one middle-aged, dressed up in a regular manner on weekdays. At this time, their energy and spirit have suddenly changed. They don't look like servants.

The old servant grabbed Zong Yanling, who was in a hurry to turn around. "Villa leader, for the present plan, only me and the villa leader can kill him."

Zong Yanling stamped his foot: "there are thousands of troops and horses besieged outside. How can we kill without friars? Even if you two can kill me, what about my wife and children? How can you two kill my children at the same time?"

The middle-aged servant said in a deep voice, "villa leader, it's better to count one by one than none, otherwise we can't explain to sir."

Zong Yanling waved his hand, "maybe not. Maybe we think too much. We might as well open the door and obey orders. Maybe it's not as bad as we think."

Old servant, "Villa leader, don't take any chances. It's not ordinary people but the forbidden army in the capital. Do you need to send the forbidden army to deal with a landlord? It's not as simple as you think. Once we get caught, our status as a monk will inevitably be exposed. According to the law of the world, monks should keep a distance from the people. The villa leader is not an official of the imperial court. If we find that we are hiding here, we can eat We cannot escape each other's responsibility for the sacrifice of the people! "

Zong Yanling said angrily, "are there few people who do this secretly?"

Old servant: "the rules are in the hands of the people who implement the rules. They don't want to find that nature is all right. They want to find that nature should be accountable. There is no complete fairness in the world. Looking at the news outside, those who come are not good. Does the Villa leader think the other party will give up and not be accountable?"

Zong Yanling: "so, you two leave quickly. As long as you don't leave any evidence and ask your father to come forward and find a way, the court should give your father some thin noodles." when you see what else they have to say, you wave your hand to stop it immediately, "I can't leave my wife and children behind. After you two go out, even if the court finds that there are monks here, I can deny it. Only if you two are thieves among the monks who come to steal, it can delay time. You can contact my father for help as soon as possible."

He insisted, and they couldn't help it. If he didn't agree, if something happened to his small family, they couldn't bear the responsibility. Some things needed his nod.

Finally, they had to change their faces quickly, put on a masked dress, and quickly flashed out of a corner of the hospital.

"Shoot an arrow!"

At the command, the arrow rain flew. The two were strong. They forcibly disturbed the arrow rain and crossed the siege in the air.

"Die!" a monk sitting on horseback snorted coldly.

A group of monks sitting on horseback suddenly pulled out their swords. More than a dozen people rose up to intercept. The two sides collided in the air and launched a fierce fight in the air.

There are three masters in the capital who fight more and fight less. The fight did not last long. When the gate of the villa was opened, the fight was over.

Zong Yanling stood alone outside the courtyard with a sad face.

A large number of people and horses rushed into the villa yard from his side, stirring chickens flying and dogs jumping, screams and children crying.

A general in armor drove his horse slowly to Zong Yanling and looked down at him.

This person is no one else. He is song Jiuming's original in laws, song Yanqing's original father-in-law and Wang Heng, one of the four commanders in Gyeonggi.

"General, Xiaomin is a good law-abiding people. I don't know what crime he has committed to mobilize the public like this?" Zong Yanling asked.

Wang Heng raised his hand over his shoulder and beckoned. Two bloody servants who had just fled the villa were dragged out on the spot and dragged to Zong Yanling's face.

"Do you know?" Wang Heng asked coldly.

Zong Yanling shook his head. "I don't know who it is."

Wang Heng looked at the two servants again. The middle-aged servant said, "I'm shy in my pocket. I just want to come here and have some money."

"Hum!" Wang Heng sneered, with sarcasm in his sneer.

People fall into the hands of this side. What they are determined to do can become something even if it's nothing. Can't they admit it?

He was too lazy to say much, looked arrogant and turned his horse away.

……

In Nanzhou Prefecture, LAN ruoting entered mengshanming's yard with a secret letter.

In the courtyard, Luo Daan was practicing his gun in the sun with his bare arms. Meng Shanming sat and stood with the emperor of the Shang Dynasty and was watching.

LAN ruoting came to the two and gave the secret letter to the emperor of the Shang Dynasty.

The emperor of the Shang Dynasty looked up in surprise and said, "Lord Tao is going to move to Fucheng to settle down?"

LAN ruotang nodded, "there should be no mistake in the letter sent by master Tao himself."

Meng Shanming asked for the letter. He was also surprised. "Do you want to live in the governor of the assassin's residence? Doesn't he want to come to the mansion? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

The emperor of the Shang Dynasty pondered for a while, "since Lord Tao has said so, he will ask someone to clean up a courtyard. When Lord Tao comes, he can check in directly."

Meng Shanming noticed that LAN ruoting, who frowned, seemed to have something wrong and asked, "what does Xiao Lan think?"

The emperor of Shang Dynasty heard the speech and looked at it.

LAN ruoting waved his hand, "I don't have any ideas. I just feel a little strange. We just received the letter, but there is news in the city. Before, I only thought it was a rumor, but now it's really strange."

What else? Emperor Shang and Meng Shanming looked at each other

Castle peak county.

Huang lie, who settled in the guest house, came to Maolu villa again. This was the third time he came to Qingshan county. During this period, he also asked his disciples to come several times.

In the pavilions and waterside pavilions, Yuan Gang also came forward to entertain again.

What more tea was served? Huang lie waved his big sleeve. No, he was impatient for a long time. "What does Niu Youdao mean? I have been waiting here for several days. Am I bored? When will he come back? I must give me a definite answer today!"

Yuan Gang said, "soon."

Huang lie: "soon? How many times have you perfunctorized me with this? How many roads does Jinzhou get here? He has a flying mount and needs these days?"

Yuan Gang: "there was an accident. Taoist priest met a large number of assassins on the road, which delayed some time." he wouldn't say it until the other party couldn't wait.

"Assassinate?" Huang lie was stunned, his eyes flickered slightly, both unexpected and not unexpected. He tried to ask, "how about Niu Youdao?"

The accompanying elders also looked at each other with tacit meaning in their eyes.

Yuan Gang: "it's all right."

"Oh! That's good." Huang lie nodded and couldn't say whether he was sorry or glad for Niu Youdao.

When something like this happened, he was naturally not able to say anything more, so he had to be patient and continue and so on.

Just as they had just walked out of the gate of Maolu villa, several people came down the mountain. When they looked here, they saw who Niu Youdao could be. Niu Youdao and others came back.

As soon as the two sides met, Huang lie immediately looked up and down and observed Niu Youdao's look. "I heard that my brother met an assassination on the way. Is everything all right?"

Niu Youdao: "it's a bit of trouble. It's inconvenient to fly and ride. It's a shame to have kept the imperial leader waiting for a long time."

"It's all right, it's all right." Huang lie laughed with relief.

Niu Youdao: "originally I wanted to contact the leader of the emperor to ask for help from Dachen mountain. However, due to the emergency at that time, there was something wrong with the contact."

Guan Fangyi's mouth on one side showed a smile. It was all nonsense. It was leisurely and leisurely all the way.

Send someone to Jinzhou to rush for help? Huang lie muttered in his heart that only he knew the answer, but his mouth was still serious: "Da Chan mountain doesn't know. It's incumbent if he knows!"

Just back, the door was not a place to talk about for a long time. Niu Youdao waved to invite you inside.

When a group of people turned around, Huang lie stared at the man in flower clothes accompanying Niu Youdao. It was strange for a big man to wear such a fancy look. He still wore a mask here. He couldn't help asking, "who is this friend?"

The man in flower clothes just glanced at him, ignored him, walked alone into the gate and watched the cottage villa all the way.

"I don't know much about other people's privacy." Niu Youdao waved his hand and didn't mention each other's identity, so Huang lie had to give up.

Guan Fangyi quietly paid attention to Yuan Gang's reaction. She didn't see anything unusual on Yuan Gang's face. She immediately knew that the man in flower clothes should also know his true identity.

After the guests and hosts came to the waterside pavilion with a good environment and took their seats, Huang lie asked about the business, "my brother said there was something important to discuss. I don't know what it is?"

Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and motioned to use tea. He also served tea: "there's nothing important to talk about. It's my delay on the way. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a moment, leader Lao Huang."

Huang lie: "what are you waiting for?"

Niu Youdao: "someone sent me a heavy gift and invited the leader of the emperor to enjoy it!"

"Heavy ceremony? What heavy ceremony?" Huang lie was curious, and the elders around him were also curious.

Niu Youdao put down the tea lamp: "the imperial leader will know the important gift that can't be missed."

Unable to ask, Huang lie temporarily pressed the question in his heart, "brother, I heard the news that you are going to move to the governor's residence these days. I don't know whether it's true or false?"

This is what he is worried about. The emperor of the Shang Dynasty is now in his hands. He is worried that Niu Youdao will intervene and rob him of control.

Dachen mountain can't speak alone to Nanzhou. It can only be guaranteed by holding the life of the emperor of Shang Dynasty. If it loses its grasp of the life of the emperor of Shang Dynasty, it will be too embarrassing.

Niu Youdao said: "it's true, but it's not what I wanted. I suddenly had this idea after I was assassinated. After I was in danger on the way, I suspected that the imperial court did it to me. At present, I'm in a bit dangerous situation, so I had to take refuge in the imperial city temporarily. But the imperial leader can rest assured that I'm just staying temporarily. After I compromise with the imperial court, I will move out immediately and never stay in the imperial city for a long time."

PS: the first alliance changed hands again after several twists and turns. Thank the brothers and sisters of the artillery command for their support!
