Devil’s Advent

Inside the spacious carriage, a charcoal basin was burning, making a slight crisp sound from time to time.

A middle-aged man was sitting by the charcoal basin, drying his hands on the charcoal basin.

Du Juan sat on the other side, holding sweet potatoes with tongs in his hands and roasting them, and the sweet smell gradually permeated the carriage.

The carriage was moving, but inside the carriage, it didn't shake at all.

"Are you sure?"

"Master Hou, I have confirmed that among all the castles in Yinlang County, only Cuiliu Castle is missing four hundred horses."

"It's that kid?"

"Yes."

"So, after the incident at Huai Ya Academy that day, he didn't return to Green Willow Castle."

"Yes, Lord Hou, based on the news from our informants in Qianguo, we can probably judge that he may have directly led his troops to Qianguo after he got involved in Huaiya Academy."

"hehe."

"Master Hou, why is he?"

"Why? Young man, don't be convinced. He carried the college affairs for us. He felt wronged in his heart, but he didn't dare to vent his grievances to Benhou, who arranged the affairs for him. He wanted to vent his grievances to the people of Gan country. .”

"Just that?"

Jingnan Hou shook his head,

road:

"Of course it's not just that. In this world, there are indeed idiots who only rely on their brains to do things, and there are quite a few, but idiots can't be defensive.

Ben Hou felt that this kid probably saw some wind direction.

We cleaned up so many people in Yinlang County, and took care of so many powerful families. Perhaps he has already seen that he has the intention of using troops against the South. He wants to grab a head start and place a bet in advance. "

"Master Hou, my subordinates feel that it may not be that simple."

"Did you find anything? Oh, by the way, who helped him build that kid's fortress? Did you find it?"

"My lord, you will be surprised."

"Okay, then let Ben Hou guess and surprise Ben Hou, it must not be related to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Although that kid once said shyly in front of Ben Hou that he was a dog from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, But Ben Hou felt that Li Liangting probably had too many dogs at home, so many that he couldn't even remember.

At least, the dog chain on this kid was definitely not held by Li Liangting himself, and he doesn't have such a big dog face that Li Liangting should tie him up in person.

It shouldn't be his own money. He just came from the north to the south to take up his post. Even though he had money on him, he didn't have the contacts to purchase and arrange everything so quickly.

It is also impossible to be a powerful family. The powerful support a local military leader, value its development prospects, and it is not surprising to absorb it for its own use. "

Speaking of which,

Jingnan Hou looked at Du Juan,

Flipping the palm of my hand, I continued to burn the charcoal fire.

road:

"Prince."

"Master Hou is wise."

Jingnanhou stretched out his hand to take a roasted sweet potato from Du Juan. Because it was too hot, he weighed it back and forth in his hand.

"The boss is in charge of the soldiers of Tiancheng County, so he can't be the boss; the second child is in charge of the imperial guards in the capital in name, so he can't be the second child either;

For the two of them, the military affairs at hand have not been straightened out, and they are not greedy to bloom outside the wall;

The youngest is literary, known for his literary reputation, he is the one with the best Chinese among the princes, he will not touch martial arts, if he touches martial arts, the role he created for himself will collapse.

The fourth concubine's family belongs to Sanshi Deng's family, and they are the generals. If he wants to intervene, he will have the support of the Deng family, and he will not go outside to find someone.

At the beginning of the year, because of his disrespect in front of the hall, he was punished by His Majesty to contemplate behind closed doors for a year. During this year, he would not make any moves. He was not that stupid.

Lao Qi is still young,

That is,

Old six. "

"It's His Highness the Sixth Highness."

"Oh, it's hard for him. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that kid surnamed Zheng poured into Lao Liu, so that Lao Liu couldn't help breaking his kung fu."

"Master Hou, do you think His Highness Sixth..."

"When Lao Liu was only seven years old, His Majesty ordered me to enter the palace to drink with him that day. As Lao Liu accompanied me, His Majesty said a word to me;

His Majesty said, among the princes, the sixth son is the most like his father. "

Dujuan lowered his head.

"Actually, I also think so. The sixth child has been smart since he was a child. In him, I can indeed see the shadow of our Majesty when he was young.

It's a pity that the sixth child is not as lucky as our Majesty. The late emperor was a master of the mean. Perhaps the most proud thing the late emperor did in his life was to win the battle for the heir apparent, but that's all.

Therefore, our Majesty is not under so much pressure, but the sixth child is different, he is too much like His Majesty, but our Dayan, a country, cannot accommodate two generations of Majesty. "

Jingnan Hou tore open the skin of the sweet potato, brought it to his mouth, took a bite, and said:

"sweet."

"The Sixth Highness didn't cover up what he did. Isn't he afraid?"

"He's not afraid. This kid knows that his father trusts me and entrusts me with all the affairs of Yinlang County. He naturally knows that the secret agent of Yinlang County is controlled by me. He wants to investigate him. , it will definitely be found out, but he is sure that the Marquis will not say anything, and will even help him hide it."

"Why?"

"The Marquis owes him."

"Master Hou, what do you mean?"

"In the autumn of the third year of Wu'an, the Min family was suspected of treason, and the imperial court issued a decree to punish it; it was the Marquis who led a thousand Jingnan soldiers to conquer the Min family, which is the mother family of our sixth prince."

"That is His Majesty's order, and has nothing to do with you, Lord Marquis."

Jingnanhou took another bite of the sweet potato, chewing slowly in his mouth, and said at the same time:

"In the winter of the third year of Wu'an, Concubine Min, who was cast into the cold palace because of the Min family's treachery, was given a white silk to hang herself and die."

Du Juan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"All of this originated on the night of the beginning of autumn in the third year of Wu'an. His Majesty once brought the sixth prince into the imperial study. It is said that he asked the sixth prince some opinions about my Dayan and about the barbarians and the affairs of the Qian Kingdom. His majesty was delighted, and rewarded the six princes with gold and silver artifacts, and at the same time offered the prince's salary.

The next day, Benhou received His Majesty's order, asking Benhou to destroy Min's family. "

Jingnanhou put the last bit of sweet potato into his mouth, and licked the sweet potato skin before putting the sweet potato skin aside;

Some sucked their fingers contentedly, then took a hot towel from Du Juan and wiped their hands and mouth.

"Maybe, His Majesty was really happy in the imperial study that night, because His Majesty was very satisfied with the performance of the sixth prince. Any father, when he sees a son who looks like himself, must be full of joy and joy in his heart." fulfilled."

"Then why..."

"Why? This Marquis said before that His Majesty has his plans and ideas for Dayan's present and future. His Majesty has already designed a path for Dayan, and no one is allowed to change it, even if that person , is his son.

His Majesty is not just a father, he is also the emperor of Dayan.

Therefore, after His Majesty was happy, the next day, he ordered Ben Hou to destroy the Min family and cut off the support of the sixth prince's mother clan;

After confinement, Concubine Min was given to death, cutting off the support of the sixth prince from the harem.

Three years after Wu'an, the sixth prince began to like sensuality and began to sell roast ducks. "

"Then the sixth prince is not afraid of you this time?"

"He is smart, so he understands me. He knows that even if Benhou finds out about this matter, he will help him hide it. One is that Benhou really owes blood to his grandfather's family.

The second is that he knows that the Marquis has no interest in participating in the struggle between the country and the country. "

"Master Hou, the second prince, but your own nephew."

"Nephew? Yes, the second child is indeed the Marquis's nephew, the child of the Marquis's sister, and the son of His Majesty today. It is obvious that His Majesty wants the second child to be the crown prince. It is estimated that the second child will be the prince next year." I can enter the East Palace.

But so what? "

"Master Hou, don't you think about your nephew?"

"You really dare to ask anything."

"It's Marquis, you dare to say anything to your subordinates, so that your subordinates are ready to be sentenced to death if they build this carriage."

"Hahahaha, this Marquis is not a person like our Majesty, this Marquis can't do this..."

Suddenly,

Jingnanhou was silent.

"Master Hou, what's the matter with you?"

"fine."

At this time, a voice came from outside the carriage:

"Master Hou, someone from home has sent a letter."

"Hand it in."

"yes."

A letter was delivered into the curtain.

Du Juan reached out to take the letter, and before she handed it over to Jingnanhou, Jingnanhou said:

"read."

Du Juan took a deep breath, opened the letter,

"You read it first, and then talk to Ben Hou."

"Yes, my lord."

Du Juan read the letter once, put it down, and said to Jingnan Hou:

"Master Hou, this is the master's letter."

The old man is naturally the head of the Tian family. The Tian family is not the first-class family member of Dayan, but in terms of honor, even the Zhenbei Hou Mansion cannot compare with the Tian family.

The head of the Tian family, his daughter, is the current empress, and she gave birth to a prince for His Majesty, and it is very likely that she will soon enter the East Palace; his son will be named Jingnanhou, and will be in charge of the 50,000 Jingnan army.

In today's dynasty, unless the princess of the Zhenbeihou Mansion marries the crown prince in the future, the Tian family's honor is unrivaled.

"Well, tell me, what does the old man of Benhou's family want to say to Benhou in the letter, so there is no need to talk nonsense."

Du Juan hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Master Hou, the master said that today the Zhenbei Army and the imperial court are getting more and more tense. The old man wants to ask your opinion and attitude."

"anything else?"

"The master also said that I heard that Hou Ye has been surrounded by a secret agent's woman recently. The master said that that woman can be played around, but the secret agent in Yinlang County, as a subject, should be taboo, even if Your Majesty told you to hold it, but you shouldn't really hold it."

"Ah."

Jingnanhou smiled, stretched out his hand to take the letter from Du Juan, and threw it into the charcoal basin to burn without reading it a second time.

"Master Hou, don't you reply?"

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the Marquis will go back and have a good talk with my old man face to face."

"Report!!!!!!!!!"

"Master Hou, sentry cavalry came to report that a large-scale mobilization of cavalry was found at Qianguo Suibao."

"Hehe, Du Juan, tell me, is that kid still alive?"

"That depends on whether you want him to live, Master Hou."

"It's quite an interesting kid, and he has a relationship with Lao Liu. He can make Lao Liu use the favor owed by the Marquis on him. If he really dies, Ben Hou will really feel uncomfortable to explain to Lao Liu."

"Master Hou, you have never thought of things like this before."

"Oh, really? Let's have a simpler reason then."

"Um."

"Even if the soldiers of my country of Yan poke a hole in the sky, it's not up to them to criticize the people of the country!"

After all,

Jingnanhou stood up, opened his arms,

"In armor."

Du Juan got up and personally helped Jingnan Hou put on the armor. The gilt armor was put on Jingnan Hou's body, making him look so heroic and extraordinary.

"Master Hou, get dressed."

After a while, Du Juan took a step back and said.

Jingnanhou stretched out his arms and hugged Du Juan in his arms,

Du Juan gave a light reprimand, but did not resist.

"Old man, you have promised our marriage."

"Master Hou, the master just said, just play."

"Isn't this day just spent playing while playing, the old man agreed."

"Master Hou, you are joking, how could the master agree with you to marry a female spy from the secret service department."

"Why not? It's still the emperor of his country who is generous, and the court sends women. This fine tradition, the Marquis thinks that we, Yan, should learn from it.

As for the old man, don't worry, the old man won't say anything when Ben Hou takes you home next time. "

"The concubine's body is all up to Lord Hou to decide."

"now it's right."

finished speaking,

Jingnanhou opened the curtain of the carriage, his wild beast had already moved to the side of the carriage to welcome Jingnanhou to his back, and the two blue eagles that had been standing on the top of the carriage flew up into the sky, and began to circled up.

next moment,

Jingnan Hou raised his hand,

Shen Sheng said:

"Everyone knows that our Great Yan Northern Army is unparalleled in the world. Today, let the people of Qian Kingdom see that our Great Yan Southern Army is also one of the best in the world!"

order issued,

The tens of thousands of cavalry of the Jingnan Army began to accelerate, and the horses began to gallop up.

"My Dayan generals swear to the death that they will not surrender!!!!!!"

"Long live His Majesty Emperor Dayan!!!!"

"Jingnanhou Qiansui!!!!!!"

From far away, these voices came.

A smile appeared on the corner of Jingnanhou's mouth,

ordered:

"Array!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

…………

Because of the sudden appearance of the Jingnan Army, the Gan Army suddenly fell into a kind of turmoil.

The battle formation, aura and momentum will really play a big role.

The majestic and serious killing of the Jingnan Army, as soon as it appeared, gave people a sense of unstoppable oppression, while the command system on the Qianjun side suddenly seemed much slower in response.

The Qianjun cavalry didn't know whether they should line up to prevent the Jingnan Army's charge or continue to surround the more than 300 Yan troops in front of them. It is said that they have cooperated, and there are even a lot of disagreements in it.

Also flustered were Yang Taiwei on the trolley and the three Jiedu envoys behind him.

Taiwei Yang, no matter how calm he is, and how beautiful his beard is, he is a father-in-law who has no lust after all, and when he really encounters troubles, he immediately exposes the defect of lack of yang energy.

And the three Jiedu envoys are all civil servants, so it’s no problem to ask them to write frontier poems. Anyway, even if they don’t write them themselves, they will let their civil servants write some poems to serve the country, sacrifice their lives in horse leather shrouds, and defend the border for the country. Back in Beijing, of course, these poems will definitely bear their names;

The advantage of doing this is that on the one hand, you can continue to read the text, and on the other hand, you can show your loyalty and patriotism and the hardships of defending the country.

However, it has been almost a hundred years since the border of Qian State has not fought wars. Even those who are actually soldiers, those military officers are extremely unfamiliar with the battle formation, let alone these civil servants.

At this time, Taiwei Yang's first reaction was to order the rear army to be changed to the front army, and escort his trolley back safely.

Fortunately, Taiwei Yang still maintained some sense after all. He knew that once he really did this, the soldiers on the battlefield might lose their morale in an instant. At that time, as long as the Yan army just cover up and kill casually, it will be a defeat!

"Come here, go and send a message to this governor to the commander of the Yan army on the opposite side, and ask him if he wants to ignore the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and he dares to bear the consequences of the war between the two countries!"

Yang Taiwei's last words were almost roared out.

The messenger looked a bit bitter, because he could clearly see how the civil servant who went to pass the order was shot into a hedgehog.

These Yan people don't seem to have the rule that the two countries do not fight each other.

But there was no way, the military order had been issued, so the messenger could only ride out, passing by the side where Zheng Fan and the others were, and then continue northward.

Taiwei Yang clenched his fists tightly. He turned around and found that the three Jiedu envoys behind him were also panic-stricken.

Waste, waste, what a bunch of waste!

Taiwei Yang crazily despised this group of civil servants who usually boasted that they had all their literary skills and military strategies in their stomachs. When something happened, he was not as calm as an eunuch like himself.

Zhiniang thief, this governor was originally sent by His Majesty to restrain these civil servants, thinking about putting some eye drops on his hind legs to sow discord, who knew that when the critical moment came, he would have to take care of things by himself?

After a while, the orderly came back on horseback.

"Reporting to Taiwei, the other party is the Marquis Jingnan of Yan State."

"Jingnanhou?" Taiwei Yang muttered his lips a few times, and continued: "What did that Jingnanhou say?"

"The Marquis of Jingnan said that he asked us to withdraw the siege and let the Yan army go back."

"How is it possible, that Yan army trespassed into the territory of our country, killed our people, and slaughtered our officials, how could it be possible to let them go like this!"

"Report to Taiwei, these villains have already told that Jingnanhou."

"Okay, then how did the Marquis of Jingnan return? The governor doesn't believe it anymore. He is just a Marquis, not the Emperor of Yan. He dares to tear up the century-old peace treaty between Gan and Yan so casually!"

When the messenger heard Yang Taiwei's words, he suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Yang Taiwei immediately glared at him, and scolded:

"Tell me, how did the Marquis Jingnan of Yan Kingdom answer!"

"The Marquis of Jingnan said, said, he said, since he attacked the country of Yan a hundred years ago when we attacked the country;

His country of Yan has never concluded any peace treaty with our country.

From a hundred years ago to the present,

Dayan and Qianguo have always been at war. "

"..." Taiwei Yang.

"The Marquis of Jingnan still said, still said..."

"What else did he say?"

"He said that His Majesty the Emperor of Yan Kingdom has been reducing the palace expenses all these years, and has not admitted any new eunuchs into the palace for several years, and the palace servants are no longer enough;

If we don't let him go within a stick of incense, he will invite you, the Taiwei, to enter the Palace of Yan Kingdom to continue your post. "

"presumptuous!"

"The swallow thief is rampant!"

The two envoys, Meng Changqi and Wu Yingwu, immediately shouted angrily.

Taiwei Yang opened his mouth,

take a deep breath,

And spit out slowly,

Stretch out your hand and press down, signaling the Jiedushi not to speak.

Yang Taiwei pointed to the messenger,

road:

"If you continue to spread the word, just talk about people, and we will release them immediately.

Say something to that Jingnan Hou:

The old slave is old and frail, and I am afraid that he will not be able to serve the Emperor Yan thoughtfully; and wait for the old slave to return to Shangjing to select a group of smart young servants, clean them up and send them to the Yan Palace to take the place of the old slave. "

At the fourth watch, the 21,000-word update was completed, Long went to bed, and shouted for a monthly pass before going to bed.
