Fan Yangli was pressed very low by Ye Qing, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly.

When I walked out of the post house, I happened to meet the Dali soldiers passing by the door, but the Dali soldiers have been extremely afraid of the imperial city guards in black clothes who came out of the post house these days.

Even if there is only one person, it is enough to make those Dali soldiers, the bruises that did not hurt just two days ago begin to ache faintly again.

I'd rather fight with the gang of the Five Rivers Army than mess with these old things like the Imperial City Division, this is the experience of patrolling Dali soldiers who have fought with the Song people these days.

Ye Qing walked onto the street without hindrance, alone and without anything, and walked in the direction and followed the address on the note.

When he was about to arrive at Gao Liangcheng's mansion, he passed by an umbrella shop around the corner, and no one appeared, and a wooden box wrapped in a thick cloth was thrown over, and it happened to be caught by Ye Qing, who was passing by.

The long wooden box was skillfully tied to Ye Qing's back, and he turned around along the Gaofu for a full time, and then walked to the back door, and with a rhythmic knock on the back door, he saw a subordinate quickly open the door and welcome Ye Qing in.

A simple map was spread out in front of Ye Qing, and the subordinate pointed to the map and whispered: "This is the front hall, there is a pagoda on the side, there is basically no one on weekdays, it was originally built for Duan Zhixing, originally I wanted to live here after his meditation position, but later built Wuhua Building, and this became a mansion of Gao Liangcheng." ”

Ye Qing walked forward along the back garden, looking at the stupa standing not far from the side of the front hall, it was not very big or very high, perhaps because of Duan Zhixing's abandonment, the stupa also seemed lifeless, and even in the main hall, even the smoky Buddha incense did not see a few pillars burning.

After signaling the person to leave, Ye Qing slowly walked up the stairs, and when he reached the top floor, the entire space was only enough for him to spread his body alone.

Looking out of the window of the pagoda, the light of the fire began to light up throughout the mansion in the darkening night, and the figure in the antechamber in the distance was completely impossible to see clearly because of the night.

Of course, this is not the moment when Ye Qing wants to snipe, not to mention that whether it is Ziqi or Luodian people who are about to come to Dali City, they will never attack the city like a tiger after dark, and they have never thought that they will be able to take Dali City.

The ultimate goal is to hope that after arriving at the city, they will negotiate with the Dali people on the next day, as long as their appetite is satisfied, then the withdrawal of troops is a matter of minutes.

Although the tribe is small, it is strong and strong, and can come and go like the wind, coupled with their fierce folk customs, as well as special terrain and other factors, which is why Ziqi and Luodian have been able to survive in the gap between Dali and the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, and from time to time embarrass the two countries.

No one wants to fight with a scoundrel, unreasonable barbarian, and no one wants to fight with a scoundrel, unreasonable barbarian, because the competition is boring and fights...... With Da Song's urine, he is actually afraid that losing will be too ugly, and it will be even more funny when the time comes.

Therefore, Ziqi and Luo Dian have been able to make a wide range of financial resources from left and right for so many years, precisely because the Great Song Dynasty and Dali did not have the courage and determination to suppress them, so that they had the opportunity to disgust the Great Song and Dali from time to time.

Gao Liangcheng listened to Gao Shouzhen's complaints, and Gao Shouchang wanted to persuade him on the side, nor did he persuade him.

Now the boss has just become the prime minister, but it seems that he has the meaning of not even taking his father seriously, otherwise, he would not complain about his father, who has been in the position of prime minister for so many years, and he didn't know how to eat Ziqi and Luo Dian, so he caused such a disaster today.

originally thought that it would be very easy to defeat Ziqi and Luo Dian, but who would have thought that this time Luo Dian and Ziqi people would be so good at learning that they would use a small part of their troops to attract the attention of the Huili Mansion army, and most of the troops would go over the mountains and mountains, bypassing Huili and pointing directly at Dali.

After many years of silent habits cultivated for the minister of Dali, Gao Liangcheng closed his eyes slightly as if he was recuperating his spirits, and after listening to Gao Shouzhen's slightly complaining tone, he slowly opened his eyes and said: "Ziqi, Luodian barbarian children, don't be afraid." But you are so unbreathable, how can you be the prime minister of Dali for me? ”

"If you had been ......."

"Back then? Hmph, if you wanted to swallow Ziqi and Luo Dian back then, there would naturally be a lot of opportunities, but how could Huili and the other mansions easily send troops? Who will do meaningless things? What's more, it's important to win over my Gao family, or let them work hard with Ziqi and Luo Dian, and finally cheapen the prestige of the Duan family? Now is this good opportunity, when it's time for you, the new prime minister, to establish your authority in the court, as long as you defeat Ziqi and Luo Dian, the prestige of my Gao family will be in the sky in Dali, and the Duan family will be embarrassed to continue to sit on the emperor's throne in the future? Gao Liangcheng stood up and walked up to Gao Shouzhen, holding his hands behind his back with an angry look.

After sighing, he looked at the night outside and continued: "Ziqi and Luodian are blind, so the army is naturally because my Dali Emperor and the Minister of State have just changed hands, and they just came to beg for some benefits." You will wait here tonight, and tomorrow maybe the dragon head passes, Ziqi and Luo Dian should shout to attack the city, and then send people out of the city to negotiate peace with them. But remember, this is Duan Zhixing who wants to talk about peace, not my Gao family who wants to talk about peace. ”

Gao Liangcheng almost didn't give Gao Shouzhen a chance to refute, because he still had the authority and courage for many years, even if he has "taken a back seat" now, but the habit of saying the same thing has long become a habit for the two Gao Shouzhen brothers.

"But...... What if they attack the city tonight? Gao Shouzhen has a bit of a crow's mouth, and he specializes in saying something that Gao Liang doesn't like to hear.

Gao Liangcheng, who had just turned around, looked at Gao Shouzhen and wanted to reprimand him, but for some reason, he suddenly sighed, and said with some disappointment to Gao Shouzhen in front of him: "They are for profit, not to plot against my Dali City, the dragon head and the dragon tail are two passes, like a moat, Ziqi and Luo Dian are still self-aware, unless they want to die, they will choose to attack the city." ”

Gao Shouchang on the side secretly pulled Gao Shouzhen's sleeve and signaled him to stop talking.

Watching Gao Liang Chengjing walk towards the back, and after the two brothers were left in the hall, Gao Shouchang spoke: "The two levels of dragon head and dragon tail are guarded by an army that supports the Duan clan all year round, don't you understand what your father means?" Even if Ziqi and Luodian attacked the city, at least those who died in the battle supported the Duan clan, and it had nothing to do with our Gao family. ”

"Yes...... Once they break through the dragon's head or tail, won't we have to fight them again, and then we will ....... ”

"At that time, the Duan clan will definitely be grateful to us, what's more, big brother, think about it, Longshou Pass has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is broken by Ziqi and Luo Dian, let me ask, can they not do it without spending a single soldier? When the time comes, our people will be waiting for work in Dali, what are the chances of winning from Ziqi and Luodian? Gao Shouchang explained to Gao Shouzhen the reason why Gao Liang became so calm.

"Not to mention ......." Gao Shouchang thought for a while and said: "Ziqi and Luo Dian will definitely not stay too long, after all, when the Huili army comes to their senses, or after destroying the forces contained by Ziqi and Luo Dian, and then turn back to pursue them, then Ziqi and Luo Dian will have to face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, how should they deal with it then?" Do you really want to fight with us? ”

Gao Shouzhen nodded thoughtfully, but she always felt a little awkward, there didn't seem to be anything to do with him, the new prime minister, and it didn't seem to have played a role in turning things around.

The two brothers sighed, and then they each rested in this mansion, and the next thing was to wait until early tomorrow morning to see if Ziqi and Luo Dian, whether the soldiers were shouting under the city, or directly attacking the city.

Ye Qing in the pagoda, the thick cloth wrapped in the rifle box, was removed by him and wrapped around his body, after all, the night was still a little cool, and he didn't want to be frozen early the next morning.

Soon after being confused on the top floor of the pagoda, I heard the noisy footsteps in the house, and I don't have to think about it to know that at this moment, it should be the army of Ziqi and Luodian who arrived at the Longshou Pass in Dali overnight.

As the night gradually faded, whether it was Dali City or the entire Gaofu, after a short night rest, it was again full of vitality.

Lying on the tower, you can vaguely see the streets in Dali City, now there are more and more soldiers patrolling and gathering, and even outside the gate of Gaofu, there is also a team of Dali soldiers of a large scale.

The generals in armor, including some officials, began to run back and forth in the Gao Mansion, constantly entering and exiting from the front hall in front of the pagoda, but they never saw the Gao family father and son appear.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning slowly climbed out of the horizon and began to shine on the entire Gao Mansion from the direction behind Ye Qing.

At the same time, the first rays of sunlight appeared, and there was a faint shout of killing from outside the city, which made the originally quiet and peaceful morning suddenly become tense.

With the rapid departure of the team of Dali soldiers outside the Gaofu, the heaven and the earth seemed to be instantly drowned by the shouting and killing sound outside the city, and the entire Dali city fell into a panic all of a sudden.

Ye Qing on the top floor of the pagoda, compared to the panicked beings in Dali, showed a relaxed smile, rubbing his hands back and forth for a long time, and then he clutched the rifle with some excitement and expectation.

After a night of cool bolts, a chill was transmitted to Ye Qing's palm, which made Ye Qing, who was somewhat excited, calm down instantly.

The muzzle of the gun was slowly passed out of the narrow window, and the crisp sound of pulling the bolt was like a heavenly sound, which made Ye Qing feel an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart.

As Gao Liangcheng, Gao Shouzhen, and Gao Shouchang led the many courtiers and generals behind them out of the front hall, and when they were about to enter the palace, suddenly a loud bang sounded above their heads.

With a "bang", the startled people looked up into the air in some panic, and when they began to look for the direction of the source of the sound, a loud bang sounded in their ears again.

"What's going on?" Like everyone's reaction, Gao Shouchang, who looked up for the loud sound for the first time, suddenly felt a little wrong, and hurriedly looked at the place where his father and eldest brother were standing just now, only to see Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen, but they fell to the ground silently at some point, and the red blood slowly seeped out from under the two of them.
