One day later.

In the prison, the wailing of the devils in hell rose and fell one after another.

After suffering all the tortures, the survivors of the attackers still insisted that the crown prince of the dynasty was standing behind them.

Xie Shihuan and others were a little skeptical.

"You dare to quibble? The crown prince is such a person that he needs to send you to assassinate that adult!" Xie Shihuan was angry, took the whip with thorns, and personally whipped the survivors.

Their bodies were already bloody and their screams gradually weakened.

In this hell, being tortured like this for a day, even a warrior's body can't bear it.

Not far behind Xie Shihuan stood Lu Zheng and Song Changming, like two door gods and bodyguards.

Today, Song Changming has won the trust and attention of Xie Shihuan, the general director, through his continuous outstanding performance.

Including yesterday's powerful enemy, he was also praised by Xie Shihuan.

In addition, Song Changming now has the background of the fourth lady of the Xiao family.

As a result, Song Changming and Lu Zheng are always taken by Xie Shihuan, and their position in the general office is rising steadily.

"The prince has his own intentions. If you kill us, you will not survive. You should blame your county governor for standing on the wrong side and taking in Lord Li!" An attacker sneered, staring at Xie Shihuan with malice on his face.

"You don't know yet, the big man in your eyes is called Li Zhe, who was once a second-rank official in the court. But if he is an enemy of the crown prince, you will all be implicated!

Because this is a party struggle"

Xie Shihuan's face was uncertain, and suddenly he said lightly: "You are very smart, pretending to be true and false, trying to cover up the lies with some truth, what is the purpose, watching the two tigers fight and benefiting from it?"

"Humph, believe it or not!" The attacker snorted coldly.

Xie Shihuan knew that he could not get any more questions. This group of people had no fear and were like tamed warriors. Compared with their own life and death, they paid more attention to whether the tasks they accepted were completed.

After walking out of the prison of the General Office, Xie Shihuan summarized the content of the interrogation and hurried to the county governor's mansion to meet the county governor.

Before leaving, he asked Song Changming and Lu Zheng not to spread the words of these attackers and keep them to themselves.

"That person is a second-rank official in the court. This matter should be true." Song Changming said as he walked in the General Office.

Lu Zheng was silent for a while and also said: "Party struggle, I'm afraid it's also true."

This matter must not be spread, so the two can only communicate with each other.

"." Song Changming sighed secretly.

He thought that his life would not be calm and peaceful all the time. Now, he can feel that a big storm is coming.

Fortunately, he has now climbed to a certain height in his career, and he has seen the shadow of this storm in advance and is mentally prepared.

If he was still struggling in the city patrol department two years ago, he would be completely in the dark and could only passively follow the crowd.

Only when you stand high can you see far.

Originally, he wanted to use the influence of the fourth lady of the Xiao family to rise step by step. If he could become an aide to the county governor and exchange interests with the county governor, it would be of great help to him.

But now, this idea has been dispelled by him.

In the big waves that are sweeping in, the big ship of the Xiao family may not be reliable.

He cannot be completely tied to the ship of the Xiao family. At present, it is just right to contact the fourth lady of the Xiao family. Too much is as bad as too little.

As for the official position, it is not bad to stay in the General Security Department, and no longer yearn for the higher county governor's mansion.

When you can't see the situation clearly, it is better to be stable and low-key.

On the edge of a cliff on Tengya Mountain, a man wearing heavy armor and a hair crown stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the huge fortress below.

A sawtoothed sword beside it sank halfway into the rock. Near the handle, there was a slightly complicated ancient character engraved.

Kan.

"I knew that big brother would come here to enjoy the mountain breeze again."

Suddenly, a voice came from under the rock, and a man with an open mind came up slowly with a wine pot.

"Didn't I say that no matter when and where, you must wear armor and carry a sword." The big brother looked back at the person who came in front of him and frowned.

"What can happen on our Tengya Mountain? Big brother, you worry too much." The visitor said indifferently, not caring at all.

As he said that, he jumped lightly and came to the top of the towering rock, sitting casually on the ground beside it.

A touch of helplessness appeared in the big brother's eyes.

"Big brother, do you want to drink?"

"No."

At this time, another person appeared on the top of the cliff. This person had a black scarf tied on his head and a wooden stick of neither long nor short stuck behind his waist.

After seeing the two people, he hurriedly shouted.

"Big brother, second brother, there's finally news!"

"What's the matter?" The eldest brother asked immediately with a serious face.

"They want us to attack the city! Attack Donglai County City!"

"Hahaha, great, great, after years of no arrangements, this arrangement is so exciting, and we can finally start a killing spree again!" The man with his clothes open slapped his thigh happily.

"I've had enough of the days in the mountains. If it weren't for the ban, I would have wanted to take down a county city first."

The eldest brother ignored the people around him shouting, just closed his eyes and took a deep breath, frowned and said: "Immediately gather all the troops and prepare to attack the city!"

Half a day later, the captain rushed into the county governor's mansion.

When he came out again a moment later, all the troops in the county city began to reorganize and assemble!

In the county governor's mansion, Xiao Jingchuan paced back and forth.

Below were the civil and military officials of Donglai County who came, and his eldest son Xiao Hongyang was also among them.

"There was no movement early or late, but after Lord Li came, Tengya Mountain started to move! Could it be that the bandit army was also a hidden chess piece buried by the top?!" said Ji Xuechang, the county magistrate.

He couldn't help but doubt the connection between the two.

After all, the bandit army had been silent for a long time after withdrawing from the county city. They had not made any moves in these years and had been staying honestly in Tengya Mountain.

"No matter what, if the other party dared to leave Tengya Mountain, we would send troops to destroy them in one fell swoop. In the ditch between the mountains, these rats can still hide for a while. Once this mountain barrier is gone, they are just a group of rabble!"

A military officer expressed his opinion and was willing to lead an army as a vanguard. He looked down on the bandit army of Tengya Mountain.

He just felt that the group of mountain bandits and vagrants could not stop their regular army.

"Don't be careless! If this bandit army is really a chess piece set up by the higher-ups, they can't be just ordinary bandits. Their true origins are probably from Dongcang!" said the eldest son Xiao Hongyang.

He had been an official in the court and knew a lot about the general situation in the world.

As soon as he spoke, the civil and military officials below shut up and looked at him.

Xiao Hongyang said slowly: "There were three dragons in Dongcang County in the past, and they were famous far and wide. Later, they were recruited into the army and became generals. Among them, Jiang Kan, the dragon crossing the river, was the most amazing. He was the leader of the three dragons, with outstanding sword skills, and was a regular guest in the Jianghu Sword List! Blood Dragon Luo Haolin, this person is the most bloodthirsty and likes to drink blood. It is said that there are thousands of people who died under his sword! There is also the evil dragon Xu Dabao." "These three people once made great military achievements, but later because they committed serious crimes in Dongcang County, they fled with their soldiers and disappeared." "I have heard a little about Jiang Kan, the dragon crossing the river. The eldest son means that the leader of the bandit army in Tengya Mountain is the three people in Dongcang!" County Minister Ji Xuechang said thoughtfully. "Yes, this is almost certain." Xiao Hongyang said with confidence. "Now it seems that they have not been wiped out by the court and have come to our Donglai County. Most likely they are protected by the higher-ups. They dare to be so reckless because they have a backer!"

The military officer who had volunteered to be the vanguard, after hearing about the origin of this bandit army, his original momentum weakened by three points. He opened his mouth but dared not say anything more.

The county governor Xiao Jingchuan had already discussed this matter with his son, so after Xiao Hongyang finished speaking, he started to deploy directly.

"Add more scouts and make sure to find out the real-time movements of the bandit army. Not only the county city should be prepared for war, but other county cities should also be prepared to rush to help from all directions at any time!

If the war breaks out, the task of stabilizing the people's hearts in the city is also the top priority, and the enemy must not be allowed to take advantage of it."

One order after another was arranged, and the county governor's office, a local central government machine, accelerated its operation.

The combat power of the entire Donglai County was activated one after another in a short period of time.

The meeting ended, and everyone left, leaving only the Xiao family father and son.

Xiao Hongyang immediately said: "Father, this matter is of great importance. We cannot give that bandit army any chance. If we want to get the attention of that person, we must show the power we have hidden for these years this time to prove that we have the power to help him when necessary!"

"You mean to put all the private soldiers in the open?" Xiao Jingchuan hesitated.

Although almost every county governor has hoarded private soldiers, I have never heard of anyone daring to show them openly, which is undoubtedly adding unnecessary risks to themselves.

"That's right!" Xiao Hongyang nodded, and then continued to persuade: "Father, this is a major change that has not happened in hundreds of years. If our Xiao family does not seize this opportunity, it will be too difficult to rise to the occasion!"

"You are right, just do as you say, but when you submit the letter later, you need to cover up the identity of the private soldiers. I believe that person can understand it." Xiao Jingchuan nodded.

"Good!"

The situation was turbulent, and all parties were making moves, some hiding in the dark, some gradually surfacing.

The Dahan Dynasty, which was originally quite stable, gradually began to sway.
