After coming out of the restaurant, Daohua and Han Xinran were not interested in shopping anymore, so they got on the carriage and returned to Yan Mansion.

On the way, Han Xinran looked at the rice flowers and said hesitantly: "Mrs. Guo feels weird today."

Daohua sneered: "These noble ladies from the capital must have been praised so much that their brains have become dull. They have developed a strange problem. They like to preach to others at every turn. Please spoil them and give you a good one."

Her face, if you don't get used to it, your nose will no longer be a nose or eyes, so ignore her."

Han Xinran once again had a new understanding of her husband's sister-in-law. This temper... is really not something that ordinary families can cultivate.

Soon, the Yan family arrived. After getting off the carriage, Daohua asked Han Xinran to go ahead. She was a few steps behind and whispered to Yan Shouhou: "Send two smarter boys to pay attention to the Guo family. If you are close,

If the Guo family has made any moves against the Yan family in recent times, come over and tell me immediately."

Yan Shouhou withdrew with a solemn expression.

Daohua returned to her yard, looked at the parrot hanging under the eaves and sighed.

Her marriage to Xiao Yeyang has not yet been announced, but the Jiang family and the Guo family have been invited.

She thought she would be relieved when the Jiang family left, but the Guo family came again, and she didn’t know where Mrs. Guo and her daughter heard the news?

After that, Daohua stayed at home for a few days and returned to Taohua Village after the Double Ninth Festival.

During this period, there was not much movement in the Guo family. If it weren't for the hostility between Mrs. Guo and her daughter at the restaurant dinner table, Daohua would have thought she was overthinking it.

"Keep staring at the Guo family and don't relax."

Returning to Taohua Village this time, Daohua found that Gu Jian was in a good mood, and immediately asked with a smile: "Master, what good thing has happened to you? Please tell your disciple quickly and make your disciple happy?"

Gu Jian cast a sidelong glance at his apprentice, took a slow sip of tea, and then said: "Jiang Zhengyuan was assassinated on the way back to Beijing. I heard that he was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will have to lie in bed all day long and take medicine as a companion."<

/p>

After hearing this, Daohua paused for a moment to realize that Jiang Zhengyuan was Jiang Shenzhen. She was very happy about this and quickly asked: "Who did it?"

Gu Jian said with a smile: "Who else could it be? He belongs to the Eighth King. The jade dragon button seal was made by the late emperor for the Eighth King. It is a symbol of his status. He will definitely take it back."

Daohua: "Did you get it?"

Gu Jian smiled and shook his head: "The Yuan family dare not lose the jade dragon seal they got." At this point, Gu Jian looked at his apprentice with satisfaction in his eyes.

"This move of yours is a little rough, but the effect is really good."

The Jiang family was reticent, so this time the apprentice handed the opportunity to the emperor.

The token of the Eight Kings appeared on Jiang Zhengyuan. In order to protect him, the Jiang family had to spit out something.

Daohua smiled: "Use the waste!" I thought that the Jade Dragon Twist Seal that broke in half was useless, but I didn't expect it to play such a big role.

......

At the same time, Northern Xinjiang, Xiqu City.

On a dark and windy night, on the towering city wall, more than a dozen black figures flew over the eaves and walls, quickly passed over the city wall, and quietly disappeared into the city.

Outside the city, Xia Tengjun carefully lurked several miles away, quietly waiting for the signal from the city.

"General Chu, do you think we can take back Xiqu City this time?"

Chu Gang pursed his lips tightly and glanced at Xue Xiangchen beside him, and said in a deep voice: "You are the commander of the Jinling Guards. Do you not know the capabilities of your men?"

Xue Xiangchen shrugged: "Do you think I instigated that person?"

Chu Gang frowned: "Master Xiao's status is a bit more valuable, but since you are out on errands, you should obey your superiors' orders." After saying that, he glanced at Xue Xiangchen with disgust, with an expression that said you didn't dare to instruct because you were incompetent.

Xue Xiangchen's chest hurt when he saw him: "Don't stand here and talk without hurting your back. If you have subordinates like this, how much better can you be than me?"

As he spoke, he straightened his expression.

"Okay, no more joking. You have worked with Xiao Yeyang before. You know his abilities better than I do. Please tell me your thoughts on tonight's action so that I can be prepared."

Chu Gang fell silent, and after thinking for a while he said: "Master Xiao likes soldiers to make dangerous moves."

Xue Xiangchen frowned: "The dangerous move of the army... If it succeeds, the credit will naturally be lost, but if it fails..."

Chu Gang intercepted the words: "We made it last time."

Xue Xiangchen quickly looked at Chu Gang: "Are you very optimistic about Xiao Yeyang?"

Chu Gang: "He is one of the few royal children I have ever met who combines bloodiness and strategy."

He has met a lot of princes, maybe because he has lived in the palace for a long time, he likes to play tricks and tricks when things happen, and he seems to be a bit less bloody.

Xue Xiangchen was silent, looking silently in the direction of Xiqu City, recalling in his mind the scenes of working with Xiao Yeyang in the past few months in Northern Xinjiang.

To be honest, although he had already guessed that Xiao Yeyang might be the emperor's specially appointed Jinling Guards commander, he was still a little shocked when he saw him in Northern Xinjiang.

Under the calm and resolute face of a young man of eighteen or nineteen, there is already a sense of oppression that is hard to ignore.

Time slipped away quietly, and when the sky was getting slightly brighter, several nightingale calls came from the city wall.

Hearing the sound, Chu Gang and Xue Xiangchen were shocked, and quickly led their troops towards Xiqu City.

On the way, Xue Xiangchen was worried about being ambushed by the Eight Kings. It was not until he saw the open gate of Xiqu City that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Xia Teng's army invaded Xiqu City. Before the Eight Kings could send people to rescue, Xiqu City was captured.

"Finally a city was recaptured!"

Walking on the streets of Xiqu City, Chu Gang and Xue Xiangchen were both very happy. The three border cities were lost, and both the border officers and Jin Ling Guards felt extremely humiliated.

Xiqu City is one of the three cities taken away by the Eight Kings. Now that this one has been recaptured, the next Zhongqu City and Dongqu City will not have to wait too long.

In the city lord's palace, a group of Xia Teng's troops wanted to move in, but were driven out by the Jin Ling Guards.

Therefore, a dispute broke out between the two parties.

When Chu Gang and Xue Xiangchen came over, they happened to see this scene.

They were all hot-blooded young people, and they had a tendency to fight when they were noisy. The two of them couldn't stand it, and when they were about to stop them, three majestic black hunting dogs slowly walked out.

The largest dog among them raised his head high and looked left and right at the two parties quarreling.

Whether they were afraid of the hunting dog in front of them or the owner behind the hunting dog, the arguing Xia Tengjun and Jin Lingwei stopped talking at the same time.

Seeing that their men were frightened by three hunting dogs, Chu Gang and Xue Xiangchen twitched their mouths, both of them a little blind.

However, looking at the three hunting dogs walking arrogantly in front of them, the two of them were very jealous.

These three hunting dogs have done a lot of meritorious deeds, especially when they captured the Eight Kings.

"I wonder how these three dogs were trained? They are extremely ferocious, no worse than elite soldiers. I have to find an opportunity to learn from Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao."

"Speaking of these two boys, I remembered one thing. They had a competition with Feixun and Feijian a few days ago. Feixun and Feijian seemed to have lost."

"Huh? The brothers Fei Xun and Fei Jian are almost thirty, and they have already mastered the internal martial arts. The two boys have not yet reached the championship. Can they win Fei Xun and Fei Jian?"

"Don't underestimate people. I secretly observed that Master Xiao, Yan Wentao, and Yan Wenkai brothers have practiced their internal martial arts very well. You forgot, last time the Eight Kings sent internal experts to steal the city defense map, you
