As soon as it dawned, the sound of military training could be heard from the north of Xuanbei City. Google search reading

This happens every day, and the people nearby have long been accustomed to it.

Su Liang woke up and heard movement next door, wondering when Ning Jing came back.

Since they went back and forth so quickly and didn't wake her up, the matter must have been resolved smoothly.

Su Liang packed up and went out, reaching the door of Tingjing Room. As soon as she raised her hand, before knocking on the door, the door opened from the inside.

Ning Jing still looked as normal as before when he disguised himself. When he saw Su Liang, his expression was calm and he said, They will arrive today.

Su Liang came in, Where is Wan Lin?

Dizzy. Ning Jing said.

As long as you're not dead, it's still useful. Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, What happens next depends on Uncle Xing. Although I was also sent by the emperor, I will wait until the situation is stabilized before I come forward.

Just in case, she and Ning Jing did not show up for the time being, and it was safer to act in secret.

The two of them went to have breakfast together like yesterday.

I heard someone talking about the recurrence of Wanshan's old illness.

Outsiders didn't know that Wan Shan was paralyzed, thinking that he had an old injury from leading soldiers in battles that had never healed, so they expressed concern and respect for him.

There were different voices among them, but they did not question Wan Shan, but speculated that Wan Shan deliberately pretended to be ill to confuse the Liang army and lure the enemy.

If Su Liang didn't know about this, he would also think of that.

But she knew that she had to doubt the extent of the illustrious military exploits the Wan family father and son had made in guarding northern Xinjiang in the past few years.

When Xing Ji arrives, Wan Shan will soon appear, Su Liang is looking forward to it.

Brother Wen!

A loud shout came from Su Liang, who was looking at the clay figurines sold on the roadside without any reaction.

Wenliang! shouted again.

Ning Jing looked at the general who was walking over with a group of soldiers, and tugged on Su Liang's sleeve, Did you call me?

Su Liang finally came back to her senses and realized that yesterday she casually gave herself a pseudonym called Wen Liang.

General Chen. Su Liang held his hand.

Haha, do you know what my last name is? The bearded man came over with a smile, his eyes fell on Ning Jing, and he reached out and patted his shoulder.

Tingjing hid.

The bearded man shot the air, was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment, Brother Wen, is this your brother, right? Why are you so thin?

Su Liang smiled and said, That's my brother. Let's talk about it. It was taken casually again.

This name is a bit strange. The bearded man said with a smile.

No wonder. Su Liang shook his head, Originally, I should have been called Wen Zhixin. Reviewing the past will help you learn the new.

Ning Jing turned around and bought the clay figurine Su Liang had just seen, not wanting to listen to her nonsense.

The bearded man laughed loudly, Then why aren't you called Wen Zhixin?

I don't like writing, so my dad changed it to a simple name. Xin𝟔𝟗书吧𝟨𝟫𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺 Su Liang said without changing his expression, You still don't know the name of General Chen?

It's my fault. I love to write and have very complicated names. Each name has the character Yun. Chen Yun said with a smile, Do you brothers still go to Liang Kingdom to do business?

Su Liang shook his head, I'm not going. I'll play in Xuanbei City for a few days and then go home.

That's right! Chen Yun nodded and reached out to rub Su Liang's hair.

Ning Jing took Su Liang's arm and took her behind him, with a calm expression, General Chen, your noble man is busy, so we won't disturb him.

Chen Yun rubbed his hands in embarrassment again and chuckled, I used to have a younger brother who was lost when he was a child. If he were alive, he would be as old as Little Brother Wen. So when I saw Little Brother Wen yesterday, I felt very close to him.

He wanted to say something else, but his subordinates came over to urge him, General, leave quickly. The matters assigned by the eldest son have not been completed yet.

General Chen, go and get busy. Su Liang said quickly.

Which inn are you staying in? I'll meet you for a drink when I have time! Chen Yun asked.

Ning Jing shook his head, My brother doesn't know how to drink.

Su Liang smiled and said, My brother won't let you drink it.

After saying this, Ningjing pulled Su Liang away from Chen Yun.

Watching Chen Yun lead the troops to leave, Su Liang whispered to Ning Jing, He knows the shady things about the Wan brothers and can be a witness later.

Uncle Xing will check it out when he comes. Ning Jing handed the little clay figurine he bought to Su Liang.

It was a cute and cute fat doll. Su Liang smiled and asked, Does it look like Zheng'er?

Ning Jing took another look and said, It doesn't look like that.

Su Liang hummed, Since I bought it, there must be a reason. Not like Zheng'er, but just like you. After saying that, Su Liang poked the nose of the clay doll, You are prettier than you, even General Chen said you are Too thin, chubby is more festive.”

You... Ning Jing's voice paused, You like that?

What kind? Su Liang followed Ning Jing's line of sight and saw a fat man walking past not far away.

Su Liang's mouth twitched slightly, Are you polite?

Ningjing didn't answer and walked in one direction.

Su Liang followed with the clay figurine. When Ning Jing stopped, Su Liang looked up and found that it was actually a teahouse owned by the Ning family, with the Ning family's flag hanging. She didn't notice it yesterday.

Although Xuanbei City is not as prosperous as other large cities in the Qian Kingdom, there are many people traveling from north to south. The second floor of the teahouse here is a good place for businessmen to rest and discuss business. The first floor sells all kinds of tea, and business has always been good. .

Ning Jing came here to hide his identity. The two of them went to the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, sat facing the street, and watched the people coming and going below.

Xiao Qi is at home, so he won't be discovered, right? Su Liang suddenly remembered.

Ning Jing asked back, Xiao Nian, Xiao Qi, do you think you are very old?

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, If you really think about it, I'm older than you all. New 69 Bookstore → 69𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒙.𝒄𝒐𝒎 mental age.

You haven't even gotten haircut yet, so what's the big deal? Ning Jing shook his head.

That sounds strange to you? Then bear with it. Su Liang said that she would not change her words.

Whatever. Ning Jing said.

As a result, Su Liang forgot what she was going to say.

When the cup of tea was almost finished, Su Liang thought, Could it be that Wan Cong didn't wait for Wan Lin's news and sent Chen Yun to patrol openly, but he was actually there to meet Wan Lin?

Ning Jing nodded, It's possible.

It's broad daylight, so it should be fine. Chen Yun seems to be dissatisfied with the Wan brothers, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry today. Su Liang said, We'll wait for Uncle Xing here. If there's no one there by noon, we'll look for him again.

Ning Jing stood up suddenly, I'm going to buy something.

Before Su Liang could ask anything, he had already left the door and closed it from the outside.

Su Liang looked down from above and saw Ningjing turning into an alley after leaving the teahouse, but no one was there.

Su Liang thought that Ning Jing had gone to meet Xing Ji secretly. Thinking that was fine, he sat there drinking tea and looking at the street below.

Near noon, tranquility returned.

As soon as he sat down, he said, There is a family named Chen in Xuanbei City. They have two sons. The eldest son is twenty-two years old, and the youngest son was lost when he was four years old. If alive, he would be sixteen this year.

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, You went to investigate Chen Yun? It seems like there is nothing wrong with him. What do you think is wrong?

No, I'm just having nothing to do. Ning Jing said.

I thought you were going to pick up Uncle Xing. Su Liang said and looked outside again, and saw a commotion in the direction of the city gate.

They didn't go down either and watched as Xing Ji took the lead and led Lin Bojun and a group of elite soldiers into Xuanbei City.

Chen Yun and his soldiers were nowhere to be seen, nor was Wan Lin.

Wherever he passed, the people gave way.

The news spread quickly: the emperor sent an imperial envoy, the original King of Beijing, now the loyal and trustworthy Marquis Xingji.

Because the troubles caused by the crown prince's position in the capital have not yet reached Xuanbei City, although some people speculated that Xing Ji came to replace Wan Shan, they were only a handful.

Xing Ji and his entourage passed by the tea house. He seemed to feel something. He looked up and met Su Liang's gaze. He looked away with a normal expression and led the people away.

Wan Cong, who was in the General's Mansion, had no news about Wan Lin. He sent his most capable subordinate Chen Yun to look for him under the pretext of patrolling around Xuanbei City. He also warned that if he met someone who claimed to be from the capital, No need to ask anything, just take it and bring it back secretly.

But before Chen Yun came back, Wan Cong received a report from his subordinates, Marquis Zhongxin is here!

In fact, Wan Cong knew about it in the middle of the night last night. It was the latest news sent by the Wan family from the capital: Duan Mu Sheng killed Duan Mu Ao. The emperor almost executed Duan Mu Sheng and sent Xing Ji, Lin Bojun and Su Liang to Xuanbei City. The situation Not good!

On one side was Wan Shan who suddenly collapsed, and on the other was Wan Lin who still didn't know whether he could succeed. As time went by, Wan Cong was simply worried.

He had been praying that regardless of Wan Lin or Chen Yun, as long as Xing Ji was secretly intercepted outside Xuanbei City, the Wan family would not be so passive in the future.

But in the end, it backfired.

My eldest son, I heard that Marquis Zhongxin is an imperial envoy sent by the emperor. Go and greet him quickly! his subordinates urged.

The reason why everyone calls Wan Cong the eldest son instead of the general is not to distinguish him from Wan Shan.

It's because Wan Cong and Wan Lin's positions in the military are dependent on Wan Shan, and they themselves have no legitimate military general positions at all.

The promotion of generals in the Qian Kingdom must be seen by the emperor. Wan Shan submitted several requests to give his two sons status, but Duanmu Yi was not able to get it right.

Thinking of this, Wan Cong's face turned ugly, but at this time, he had to deal with Xing Ji, otherwise he would only become more passive.

Invite them to the general's mansion! Wan Cong said solemnly.

After his subordinates left, Wan Cong changed his clothes and planned to wait at the door.

As a result, soon, his subordinates came back and said that Marquis Zhongxin and his party had gone to the camp, and asked all the generals of rank 4 and above in Xuanbei City, except those who were patrolling, to go there and gather immediately.

Wan Cong's heart sank! Of course he knew Xing Ji's reason for coming, but even though their brothers had actually been ranked lower than ten thousand people in Xuanbei City in the past few years, now that Wanshan has fallen, Wan Cong and Wan Lin have become a little embarrassed in the army.

He is not even a fourth-grade general or above!

The eldest son, please go for the general!

Someone reminded Wan Cong, and his expression became concentrated, telling people to take a good look at Wan Shan and not allowing anyone to get close. He then left the general's mansion with two of his confidants and went to the camp.

Except for Wan's father and son, none of the guards in Xuanbei City knew about the changes in the capital, even though most of them were from Wanshan's faction.

Because the last news he received before Wan Shan fell was that Duanmu Ao was still the prince and it was not yet time for him to take action.

When the news came that Duanmu Ao was dead, Wan Cong was only eager to intercept and kill Xing Ji and had no time to do anything else.

Wan Cong went to the meeting hall of the military camp and felt bad when he saw that the soldiers guarding outside looked unfamiliar.

As soon as he got close, he was stopped, Who are you?

Wan Cong said solemnly, My father is Wan Shan.

Are you a fourth-grade general or above? If not, you are not qualified to enter! the soldier said with a straight face.

Wan Cong's anger arose in his heart, but before it broke out, he heard a voice coming from inside, Let Mr. Wan come in.

When Wan Cong entered the door, he saw everyone who was supposed to come, with different expressions.

Sitting in Wan Shan's original position was a handsome middle-aged man with an imposing appearance. There was a bright yellow scroll on a silver plate in front of him.

Master Wan, I heard that your father is ill? But he has difficulty moving? Xing Ji asked.

Wan Cong shook his head subconsciously, It's nothing serious. I just drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep. I couldn't wake up for a while. If the Marquis has anything to say, I can tell my father.

I have come here with an order. The emperor has an order, which is for General Wanshan. Only when he comes can he announce the order. Since it's nothing serious and he's just resting, please come here and rest until he wakes up. Now, I will issue an edict so as not to delay important events. Xing Ji looked gentle and said, Come here, follow Master Wan to the General's Mansion and bring General Wan here.

Wan Cong's face stiffened, Master Hou, isn't this inappropriate?

Then, if I go and carry General Wan here in person, Master Wan won't think it's disrespectful to your father, right? Xing Ji smiled.

Wan Cong lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes.

Ever since Wanshan fell, the situation has become increasingly out of control. And Xing Ji took control of the top brass in the army as soon as he arrived. When these people didn't know the situation, no one could dare to go against the imperial court. Even if Wan Cong had the opportunity to reveal the situation to them alone and ask them to join forces to get rid of Xing Ji, it would be impossible. Wan Shan is fine. If he comes forward, there is hope. But after Wanshan fell, even the generals who were originally loyal to him would lose confidence in Wanshi.

Master Wan? Have you thought about it? Should you send your father here, or should I invite him? Xing Ji asked.

Please, General Zhou and General Liu, please come with me and pick up my father. Wan Cong said bravely.

General Zhou Liu was the most loyal to Wanshan and had many soldiers under his command. Wan Cong could only take risks and find opportunities to conspire with them.

The prince was killed. The eldest prince made a big mistake and was put under house arrest. General Wan must have received the news and was too sad, right? Xing Ji opened his mouth and dropped a bomb.

The generals in Xuanbeicheng were dumbfounded.

General Zhou, General Liu, Young Master Wan asked you to invite General Wan, are you willing? Xing Ji looked at the two veterans and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Everyone here is not a fool, and by now they have naturally guessed the purpose of Xing Ji's visit.

If Wan Shan were standing here at this moment, the situation might be very different.

But alas, he's not here.

After the two generals Zhou and Liu looked at each other, one of them said that he was old and not as strong as the young people. He sent his two best soldiers to carry Wanshan. Another said that he also sent two soldiers.

Wan Cong's face was extremely ugly. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Bojun, go ahead. Xing Ji looked at Lin Bojun and said, Invite General Wan to come and issue the decree without delay.

Lin Bojun stood up and said, Yes. Master Wan, please lead the way.

Wan Cong took Lin Bojun away, and heard the laughter of General Zhou coming from the conference hall behind him, I still remember the bravery of Marquis Zhongxin when he was young, entering and exiting the Liang army three times! In the blink of an eye, It’s been so many years!”

Please take good care of me in the future. Xing Ji laughed heartily.

Wan Cong was about to vomit blood. As he walked, he paused in his steps, and a thunderous flash occurred in his mind: His father suddenly became paralyzed. I'm afraid someone did it deliberately! Su Liang! She was obviously sent here, but she didn't show up! It must be that woman who did it!
