Song Zheng calculated in his heart that there was only about 5,000 miles left between this place and Tongzhou, and with the cultivation of the two of them, they could fly at full speed for about two days to go back and forth.

He really wanted to go back and see - even if he couldn't enter the range of Huangtai Fort, as long as he looked at it from a distance, he could feel the warmth of everyone's existence with his heart.

But after several hesitations, he sighed: "Let's go, go back to Beijing." ”

He was impulsive, but he didn't dare.

He was afraid, it was not a shameful thing, only he had experienced it like this to understand how terrible the heavenly fire really was. Tianhuo limited its "sphere of influence" to Huangtai Fort, but with Song Zheng's understanding of Tianhuo, I am afraid that the scope it can really control is not only Huangtai Fort.

The most direct proof of this is the secret decree, which can drop the knight anywhere in the Hongwu Heavenly Empire, and the knight still cannot escape.

If he appeared in the same state, would Tianhuo be angry and re-detain him? He didn't dare to take this risk.

So he suppressed the impulse in his heart and resolutely turned back to Jingshi.

......

The Tiger Wolf Camp has been very lively lately.

After Qin Shi took over, the Beishan camp was basically abolished. If you want to re-establish the army, you need not only a large amount of investment in cultivation materials, but also the most precious thing - time.

Near the Jingshi, several important military forces, the forbidden army is always in the hands of the royal family, and the nine thousand "city camps" under the Admiral of Jiumen are responsible for the defense of the entire Jingshi, and they are under the command of Lord Shoufu.

The Tiger Wolf Battalion has become the object of competition between various forces. No matter how much combat power they still have, they can always gain momentum.

Ren Changye went in and out of the camp, accompanied by the pro-guard battalion, and it was only a superficial phenomenon that Ren Changye felt the crisis more and more, and he wanted to bring his most trusted force with him to protect his safety.

Zhou Kou followed him, he had always been silent, and with the scars on his face, he looked more and more eerie. Even in the pro-military camp where the strong are like clouds, no one dares to provoke him.

On this day, Ren Nagano first went to a barren mountain ninety miles west of Daying, and went on a safari with the head of an ancient noble family from Jingshi, and his expression became solemn after returning.

After entering the camp, he went straight to his military office, which he lacked a sense of security even in.

Closing the heavy iron-clad door of the military office, he suddenly called out to Zhou Kou: "Xiao Zhou, come here." ”

The other pro-soldiers were envious, but Zhou Kou just looked indifferent, dressed in immortal armor, and followed Ren Changye into the back hall. One of Ren Changye's confidant military advisors was already waiting, and when he saw Zhou Kou following behind Ren Changye, the military advisor was obviously a little surprised: "General, choose him?"

Ren Changye nodded, pointed to the chair and said to Zhou Kou, "Sit first." ”

Then, he said to the military advisor: "Although Xiao Zhou has not followed this general for the longest time, he is calm and reliable, and he is worthy of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility. ”

The military advisor nodded hesitantly: "Respect the general's order." ”

Zhou Kou remained silent, and did not take the initiative to ask. Ren Changye saw it in his eyes, nodded secretly, and felt that he had not chosen the wrong person.

"Xiao Zhou," Ren Changye said, "Do you know that General Ben is afraid that his life will be short." ”

Zhou Kou looked at him, and then at the military advisor. The military advisor did not explain, as if it meant to take the school examination.

Zhou Kou said: "But because Ma Muye, the magnates of the Jingshi have been moving around with the general very often recently, and they should want to get the general's support." The general can wait for the price to sell, but if there is no choice for a long time, those people are afraid that they will not be able to wait, and they will have to change to a general who chases the deer. ”

Ren Changye nodded with satisfaction and looked at the military advisor: "What is General Ben's vision?"

The military advisor was convinced: "The general's eyes are like torches." This task is not enough to be faithful, it requires wisdom and the ability to see the situation of the court. ”

He saluted Ma Muye, and then said to Zhou Kou: "The Queen Mother and the people of the first assistant have all come, and they have promised all kinds of benefits to the general, but among the three major forces of the Beijing Division, there has been no movement on the side of the commander. ”

Zhou Kou's eyes were calm, but there were waves in his heart: the scholar was already one of the three major forces in Beijing, and he wanted everyone to patrol the border together, and his favorite thing was to climb the highest demon horn of the Seven Demon Dragons, look at the Ember Mountain from afar, and imitate the Northern Expedition Emperor to sweep away the Seven Killings with a sword......

He seems to be getting closer and closer to his dream.

"What you just said is right, the general wants to wait for the price and sell, in fact, my tiger and wolf battalion needs to wait for the price and sell. There will be great changes in the imperial court, and one bad one will end up in ashes.

The general needs someone, take the initiative to contact Lord Song and ask Lord Song about the price. ”

After the sergeant finished speaking, Ren Changye said, "The old man is ready to hand over this important task to you." ”

Zhou Kou thought about it, got up and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily: "Kou, never give up!"

Ren Changye nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Zhou, do you know the weight of this mission?"

"Understood. Zhou Kou said succinctly: "The 300,000 comrades of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion, the general's net worth and life are as heavy as ten thousand pounds! The general can be entrusted with this important task, but he treats me as a national soldier, and Kou will repay me with a national soldier." ”

Ren Changye nodded: "The old man didn't look at the wrong person. ”

Zhou Kou got up, hesitated for a moment and asked, "If it's a weekday, Kou won't talk much." However, this time, Kou needed to ask clearly, why was the general optimistic about the three major forces of the Song Zheng and the Beijing Division, and everyone said that Long Yiwei was the weakest one, always struggling, and was in danger of overturning at any time. ”

Ren Changye and Master glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Those who are short-sighted can only see the strong people of the town. They all thought that the Queen Mother was the strongest, but don't forget, the Queen Mother suppressed the Prince of Qianhe and Xiao Zhen. These two are both strong people in the town, and once they get out of trouble, the Queen Mother will be the first to be eliminated. ”

Ren Changye was very complacent about his vision: "The so-called fire cooking oil, the Queen Mother is in this state now, and a bad Huang Tianli Holy Sect's accumulation of tens of thousands of years will be compensated." ”

"As for Lord Shoufu, although he has already achieved Wenxiu Zhenguo, he is an old minister of the imperial court, and he looks at three moves before and three moves after one move, and he often hesitates and makes less decisions.

It seems to be a good plan, but it is difficult to achieve great things. ”

"And Lord Song is the most determined person among the three. Although the strength is lacking, the potential is huge.

Long Yiwei already had two powerhouses in the town, although these two were far away and didn't seem to plan to continue to support Long Yiwei, but the old man didn't believe that they really left it alone.

What's more, once Xiao Zhen gets out of trouble, Long Yiwei will have three Zhenguo. Lord Song himself can be called invincible under the Zhenguo, and this potential is even stronger than that of the Huang Tianli Holy Sect, and it is far superior to Huang Yuanhe. ”

He smiled again: "There is another point, Lord Song's beast cultivators are almost invincible, if we take refuge in other families, I'm afraid we will have to fight against his beast cultivators, and we will definitely die." ”

Zhou Kou nodded: "Kou understands the general's intentions, so let's go." ”

He bowed his hand, turned and left the camp.

After he left, the military advisor asked, "What percentage of the general does he think he can accomplish this task?"

Ren Changye smiled: "General Ben doesn't know, but at least let Song Zheng feel our kindness." He lazily leaned on the chair and stretched: "Hard, these three, General Ben doesn't want to support anyone, it's best to keep negotiating like this, and when they divide the winner, there will be nothing for us." ”

The military advisor's eyes flashed, but he didn't say much.

......

Zhou Kou stood at the gate of the Tiger Wolf Camp, he had the token given by Ren Changye, and he passed through the camp unimpeded.

His face was cold, but there was a feeling of great compassion in his heart: Is it really the destiny of heaven?

After leaving the camp, he ran wildly, and after sixty miles, he broke into an empty valley, and roared in the sky!

......

When Song Zheng was away, he was now a stand-in in the yamen. Fortunately, he didn't go out for a long time this time and came back soon.

But he has always been a little restless these days, but neither the Heavenly Sense nor the Prophet of Uncertainty has reacted. After a little thought, he understood that there was probably some force that "blinded the heavens".

"Against me?" he wondered, on the surface everything was as usual, but secretly he was more careful.

On this day, a dark shadow fell outside the window, and a whisper reported: "My lord, the covenant has been made." ”

Song Zheng nodded and said that he knew, and he didn't need to say anything more, he already knew it. The shadow vanished. He and Shousuke-sama reached a tacit understanding before, and the big plan was launched seven days later.

Then, he got up and went to the Star Picking Tower from the secret passage.

Lin Zhengu and a group of old monsters were still working hard, and no one even had the kung fu to help the commander, so he ate the closed door one after another, so he had to come to Xing Lao's chai door with a wry smile.

Before he could knock on the door, Xing Lao's voice came from inside: "Your Excellency, please come in." ”

He left Xiu Yunqi outside and walked in alone - this is the rule of Xing Lao, unless it is Zhenguo, all his followers will stay outside the courtyard.

Xing Lao was cooking tea and prepared a cup for him: "Taste it, my lord, seven kinds of elixirs are concocted, which can best calm the mind." ”

Song Zheng took a sip and said lightly, "Elder Xing has already sensed it?"

Xing Lao smiled: "Adults are quiet but their hearts are chaotic, but what is difficult to decide, and you need the advice of the old man?"

Song Zheng shook his head lightly: "It's not that it's difficult to decide, but it's that it's already decided, but I don't know what the future holds." pressed the entire dragon guard, once it failed, it would be a catastrophe, so it was inevitable to be worried. ”

Xing Lao stopped what he was doing, looked at him and asked, "Do you have to do this?"

Song Zheng sighed: "Now is the best time, we can still get Huang Yuanhe's help." After this period of time, the number of variables has increased, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity. ”

Xing Lao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let it go, you don't have to suffer from gains and losses." ”

Song Zheng smiled bitterly: "Everyone understands the truth, how many people can do it?"

Xing Lao looked at him, not persuading, but just raised his hand: "Let's drink tea." ”
