Xing Zongliang came all the way from Zizhong and read out the royal edict and general order. Everyone in Wuling was promoted and rewarded, and everyone was very happy.

After everyone stood up, Wei Yang laughed and teased deliberately: "Colonel Xing is really trying to make Mu Ziyu look good. Why can't you inform me before reading the order from the General's Palace? I actually knelt down at the General's Palace."

Wei Yang's words made everyone laugh, and Xing Zongliang quickly apologized. Of course, Wei Yang didn't really care.

Wei Yang said to Yi Tianhang again: "I will call you Yi Xiaowei from now on."

"Master Wei, you're welcome." Yi Tianhang replied, "There will be something that requires Master Wei's trouble."

"What's the matter?" Wei Yang asked disapprovingly.

"The barbarians sneaked across the Shuyang Mountains to attack us in Wuling. There must be an internal response!"

As soon as Yi Tianhang said these words, everyone present was stunned, and Wei Yang's old face instantly became serious.

"Do you really mean what Lieutenant Yi said?" Wei Yang asked.

Yi Tianhang said: "There are only two roads to go from Nanjiang to Wuling. One is the cliff southwest of Qinwang Village, and the other is the cliff plank road south of Qinwang Village, but both places are difficult to pass.

The cliff plank road is the most difficult to walk, because the plank road has been in disrepair for a long time, making it difficult for people to walk, let alone war horses."

After Yi Tianhang finished speaking, everyone present understood how the war horses of the barbarian army came from? Since the war horses cannot pass, the war horses ridden by the barbarian army must have been prepared in Wuling long ago!

"Yi Xiaowei is really thoughtful and doesn't miss anything! What you said really makes people suspicious. When I get back, I will send someone to secretly investigate the matter!" Wei Yang said.

...

Yi Tianhang and Xing Zong reunited after a long absence, so they naturally wanted to have a few drinks. Wei Yang was busy with official duties and was worried about the internal affairs, so he didn't stay much longer.

Yan Chun, Shan Yue and others also returned to the camp. Yi Tianhang had captured more than 200 war horses at the foot of Qiwangzhai Mountain. Jiang Guangli personally sent them here a few days ago. With Yi Tianhang's wishes,

To train and build a crossbow cavalry force, Yan Chun and others had a heavy burden.

"Brother Xing, there is something elusive. It just so happens that you are here today, and you are the most suitable person to find out about it." Yi Tianhang put down his wine glass and said.

"Brother Yi, speak directly if you have anything to say. Due to the love between you and me, there is no need to be polite!" Xing Zongliang replied boldly.

"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with me. It has to do with Jue Dao Sect." After Yi Tianhang finished speaking, he looked at Xing Zongliang.

"Is it related to the Juedao Sect?" Xing Zongliang was completely surprised.

"Yes, the barbarian general who invaded Wuling a few days ago, Suolang, the leader of Tuxiao Village, severely wounded me with one move!"

"Old Xing, I have known about this for a long time, but it's a pity that he ran away!" Xing Zongliang had a look of resentment on his face.

"Suo Lang used the Thunderbolt Movement of the Nine Jue Sword Styles." Yi Tianhang took a sip of wine and said calmly.

"What!" Xing Zongliang was shocked when he heard this. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, startling Wang Lanzhi who was pouring wine for Yi Tianhang.

"Brother, are you sure? It's indeed a thunderstorm?"

"There is no doubt about it! When you and I stayed at Juedaomen for a while, I was lucky enough to see Senior Liu use it, and I will never admit his mistake." Yi Tianhang said still calmly, as if he didn't care at all that the knife almost killed him.

After hearing this, Xing Zongliang pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Yi, have you ever told anyone about this matter?"

"Brother Xing, don't worry, I haven't mentioned it to anyone else."

Yi Tianhang saw Xing Zongliang looking at Wang Lanzhi, and then said: "Sister Lanzhi is not an outsider."

Xing Zongliang nodded and said: "This matter is of great importance. I will go to Jiangyang tomorrow to report this matter to my mentor!"

At this time, Wang Lanzhi had changed a wine glass for Xing Zongliang and poured wine into it.

Xing Zongliang picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said to Wang Lanzhi: "Thank you, Miss Wang."

Wang Lanzhi did not answer, but made a Wanfu ceremony.

"Master Liu is still in Jiangyang?" Yi Tianhang asked.

"Yes, my mentor and more than two hundred of his disciples are helping our Daqi soldiers against the Nanman at the Jiangyang defense line. That boy Yun Han is also there."

...

Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang were drinking and chatting, but it was midnight. They were both sleepy and did not even mention taking a rest.

The next day, Xing Zongliang left early in the morning. It concerned his sect, and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible.

As soon as Xing Zongliang left, Jiang Xuanbei and Jiang Guangli came to visit him.

In the Wang family hall, Yi Tianhang seemed to regard himself as the master, and acted like a master.

"General Jiang, why are you here today?" Yi Tianhang asked.

This Jiang Xuanbei is now the general of the Anxi Army. The person who captured the king's stronghold and is the leader can no longer be called Jiang Xiaowei. Of course, Tianhang also has the intention of deliberately running on him, wanting to see if Jiang Xuanbei is arrogant due to his power.

Jiang Xuanbei was extremely frightened when he heard this. He wanted to perform the courtesy of a courtier, but he saw Wang Lanzhi beside him, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, Yi Tianhang couldn't bear it, so he said to Wang Lanzhi: "Lan Zhi, my brother has important matters to discuss with General Jiang."

Wang Lanzhi was extremely smart and didn't ask any questions. She bowed to a few people and left, closing the door behind her.

"The humble minister Anxi General Jiang Xuanbei pays homage to His Highness."

"Wei Chen, Lieutenant of the Anxi Military Academy, Jiang Guangli, is here to see His Highness."

Jiang Xuanbei and Jiang Guangli saw that there was no one else in the house, so they knelt on one knee and saluted.

"General, Brother Cao Fu has called for you. I just made a mistake."

When Tianhang saw that Jiang Xuanbei didn't look like a hypocrite, he was very happy. Even if he was like this, how could he insult his loyal ministers? He stood up and helped the two of them.

Jiang Xuanbei and Jiang Guangli stood up in a hurry when they saw this. How could they let the only blood of the Zhou royal family come to help them.

Jiang Xuanbei said: "I came here today because I couldn't hold myself back and risked my life to ask His Highness what happened."

"Oh? General, do you have any questions? It doesn't hurt to just ask." Yi Tianhang replied.

"Since Wei Chen learned of His Highness's identity, he has been tossing and turning, having trouble sleeping day and night. He feels a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart. He is happy that our King Qin Jun has a master from now on, but he is worried that he does not know what His Highness is thinking and what his plans are."

Jiang Guangli also echoed: "The last general asked, does your highness have the intention to restore the country?"

Yi Tianhang had long expected that the two of them would ask this question, but he didn't expect it to be so direct, so he pretended to be deep in thought and said: "Yi is a hatred of the country and family, and it is my long-cherished wish in life to avenge this hatred, but I am single.

We are weak, so we need to take a long-term approach.”

Jiang Xuanbei was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned to look at Jiang Guangli. The father and son said in unison: "All the soldiers of King Anxi Qin's army are willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, even to the death!"

Yi Tianhang suddenly remembered something and said: "Although I am a descendant of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the world now belongs to the Ji family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty. Without the support of you and other old ministers, I am just an ordinary person. Although I have

I have a desire for revenge, but I have no ambition to restore my country. I hope the general can understand."

Jiang Xuanbei was puzzled and asked eagerly: "Why is this, Your Highness? If you can regain your revenge, you can regain your country. These two things can also be said to be the same thing."

Yi Tianhang said: "This matter is a long story, and I thought about it for a long time before I figured out that revenge is easy, as long as all those who participated in the rebellion were killed, but if the country is restored, I am afraid that the people of this world will be

You have to suffer the pain of war. In other words, who is in charge or not in this world, and who is not sitting on the throne of the emperor? As long as the world is at peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it will be good."

Yi Tianhang's words were mixed in truth and falsehood, and even he himself couldn't tell which ones came from his heart and which ones were used to test Jiang Xuanbei.

"Your Highness, in the past few decades, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty have been divided and governed, sooner or later there will be a war. Now the Southern Barbarians invade the border, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty is inseparable. Even if Your Highness does not take advantage of it, the people of this world will not be able to escape the war.

Woe!" Jiang Xuanbei said the truth.

"Let's put this matter aside for the moment. Whether it's revenge or restoration of the country, I need to capture Wangzhai for help. Don't the general and brother come here just to find out my intentions and see if I am determined to work for Nan Qi? Now you two

But don't worry." Yi Tianhang revealed the thoughts of Jiang Xuanbei and his son with one word.

Jiang Xuanbei thought to himself: "Since His Highness is determined to take revenge, then the restoration of the country can be handled slowly and secretly. When the destiny comes and the people's wishes come true, the Xu family will ascend to the throne again and rule the world. Isn't it a matter of course?!

"

Jiang Xuanbei thought about it in his mind and said, "I would like to comply with His Highness' wishes."

Jiang Guangli had the same idea and echoed: "I will obey your Highness' wishes!"

When Yi Tianhang saw that Jiang Guangli was deliberately keeping a distance from him, he pretended to be displeased and said, "Jiang Xiaowei, although I am from a down-and-out royal family, you recognize that I am the Queen of Han Ping, right?"

Jiang Guangli didn't know why Yi Tianhang asked this question, so he replied: "You are the grandson of King Ping of Han Dynasty in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The royal title is hereditary and irreplaceable. Now that the prince and his son are no longer alive, as long as you

After performing the great ceremony of making the king a king, I declare to the world that you are the King of Hanping!"

"Okay, then I will give you the first order!"

"Please give me your orders, the general will not hesitate to die!"

"My eldest son was separated from his elder brother Cao Fu when he was young. I want you to find my elder brother Cao Fu back immediately!"

Jiang Guangli was stunned on the spot when he heard this. He never expected that Yi Tianhang would say this. Jiang Guangli's eyes turned red and his body trembled slightly. It took him a long time to reply with the word "yes".

When Jiang Xuanbei saw this, he sighed and said, "Li'er, since His Highness has said so, why do you keep holding on tight?"

Jiang Guangli seemed to have got rid of his inner struggle and said decisively: "Fourteen years ago, Cao Fu died, and now there is only 'Pioneer Dog' Jiang Guangli!"

Yi Tianhang was quite disappointed and lonely, and murmured: "Okay, okay..."

...

Jiang Xuanbei and Jiang Guangli left quite contentedly. They got the result they wanted. At this moment, the two men rushed back to Qinwang Village on the orders of Yi Tianhang to replenish the soldiers who died in the battle. The elders of Tang Clan Qi

Rong is also a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Yi Tianhang has also told the truth.

After finding the orphan of the royal family and having like-minded allies, Jiang Xuanbei felt for the first time in decades that surviving was the right choice.

Yi Tianhang sent Jiang Xuanbei and Jiang Guangli away, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wang Lanzhi.
