Xiao made a special honor in the battle of Longyou and was appointed as an example by the court. Not only did he move his family to Yuejing, but he also rewarded the original Luo family mansion, which was second only to the imperial palace in Yuejing to them. And Angela followed Jian Fang, the county soldier general who fought fiercely in Longyou, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the city gate army, and brought him back to Yuejing with more than a thousand remaining subordinates in Longyou.

When he just returned to Beijing, that glory made Jian Fang so flattered. The endless banquets he attended every day and the endless praise made him almost ecstatic. Although the house given to him by the imperial court was far inferior to the Luo family mansion, it was many times bigger and more luxurious than his house in Zhongping County.

Sometimes, he still thought it was just a dream. Wealth and glory fell from the sky like this? The result of a forced war actually brought him a reward that he could never get after a lifetime of struggle, and he was satisfied.

The city gate army is Zhang Jian's territory. He was a newcomer. Although he had many halos, Jian Fang himself was a very sensible person. He didn't reach out to the affairs of the city gate army. He just thought about his more than a thousand old subordinates. After experiencing that fierce battle, his horizons were much higher and he looked down on the combat effectiveness of the city gate army. But rashly stretching out his hand was very likely to lead to a disagreement between him and Zhang Jian. Jian Fang naturally would not do such a thing. Now he just wants to enjoy life with his wife, children, and family, and have a life of death. Only then can he know how comfortable it is to be able to get together with his family every night to have a meal and talk.

He had a very good relationship with Xiao. This was the friendship between blood and fire formed on the battlefield, and it was also the most reliable friendship. For Jian Fang, Xiao was not only a friendship, but also his backer. Although Xiao Zhenggang died and Mrs. Xiao died, Xiao Zhenggang was a former general after all, and his status was not comparable to him. Although his foundation was in Zhongping County, he was not weak in the court. With such a backer, at least in the future, he could rely on this big tree to enjoy the cool air. So after arriving in Yuejing, he ran to Xiao's house more frequently and had to come to the door every once in a while.

Xiao Ning, the eldest son of the Xiao family, is now a good friend who can talk to him. In the Battle of Longyou, the little baby that Jian Fang has tried his best to protect is Xiao Ning's son. Now the only male member of the Xiao family is left. With this relationship, the two of them are naturally very strong.

"Come on, Brother Jian, have another glass." Xiao Ning smiled and took out a bottle of good wine from the wine cabinet behind him: "This is the tribute wine rewarded by the court, and you can't drink it at any time."

Seeing the cup full again, Jian Fang looked at Xiao Ning with some surprise. On the table, the two had drunk four or five bottles, and each of them had a pound. Xiao Ning was in a very wrong mood because he only drank alcohol and rarely ate vegetables. The dishes were delicious. At least Xiao's chef was much better than his own, but Xiao Ning just poured wine into his stomach one cup after another, and rarely ate a bite of vegetables.

"Brother Xiao, do you have any thoughts?" Jian Fang asked, putting down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.

Xiao Ning smiled bitterly, put down the wine glass in his hand, but was silent.

"Your mood is a little wrong today!" Jian Fang asked, "Such, you rarely drink like this. What happened?"

Xiao Ning raised his head to the sky, let out a long sigh, and said for a while: "Brother Jian, I'm going to tell you, today I just want to drag you to my house and not let you return to your army."

Jian Fang suddenly burst into cold sweat all over his body. What does Xiao Ning mean? His mind flashed like lightning and abnormal things that appeared in the city gate army in the past two days. In an instant, he understood what was about to happen.

"Brother Xiao, is Zhang going to rebel?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"It's almost the same!" Xiao Ning's face turned pale and he whispered: "Although Zhang Ning was not rebelling, it was similar to rebellion. He wanted to launch a coup, take down the prince Wu Jing and the prince's followers, and then surrender to the Taiping Army."

With a bang, Jian Fang stood up suddenly. "Brother Xiao, are you following Zhang Ning and ready to surrender?"

Xiao Ning shook his head and signaled Jian to sit down.

"They just asked me to drag you here and not pull them back. I don't know anything else." Xiao Ning murmured.

Jian Fang gasped and held the hilt of the knife in his hand: "No, I have to go back. I still have more than a thousand brothers in the military camp. If such a thing happens, I'm afraid their lives will be difficult."

"Brother Jian, they promised me that as long as you stay at my house and don't go out, your brother will guarantee that no one will be missing." Xiao Ning grabbed Jian Fang and said loudly. "Actually it's too late for you to go back. Now, the court officials have entered the Daming Hall. The army brought back by the city gate army and the army brought back by Zhang Ning have begun to be launched. A master and a half-step master have come to the Taiping Army. At this moment, the city has long been controlled by them."

Jian Fang fell into the chair with a loud bang, holding his head with both hands.

"Brother Jian, we have a friendship from the sea of ​​blood, so when they found me, I agreed to them without hesitation. I don't want to see you get involved in this right and wrong." Xiao Ning said.

Jian Fang looked up at Xiao Ning with some pain: "Brother Xiao, do this, Mrs. Xiao..."

"Mother has gone to immortality." Xiao Ning raised his head: "There are only a few people left in Xiao now. I don't want them to make any mistakes. Do you know? Prince Wu Jing originally wanted to kill Zhang Ning, control the city gate army, and then take these people to escape into the mountains. Jian Fang, I don't want to go into the mountains to be bandits. I don't want my son to live in the mountains like a savage. The Taiping Army promised me that we are all fine."

Jian Fang let out a long sigh, "It's over here, what's the point? Let's take the time, Brother Xiao, let's have a drink!"

In the Ming Dynasty Hall, Liang Yidao walked towards Zhang Ning easily. He knew that Zhang Ning was completely ignorant of martial arts. In his eyes, a weak scholar was no different from a little chicken. He was just a good match.

He went down to the middle of the stairs and saw a palace maid who had originally lowered her head and suddenly raised her face with a smile on her face. Her hair was standing on her back. A huge alarm sounded in his heart. His hand pressed towards the hilt of the knife. However, at this moment, a slim hand appeared in his eyes, which seemed very slow, but in fact it pressed towards his chest very quickly.

A low sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly clear in the Daming Hall, which was so quiet that only the heavy breathing sound was left. Liang Yidao didn't even pull out the knife, and the whole person floated up and slowly floated to the top of the Taiming Hall, hitting heavily on the huge beam on the top, making a loud bang, and countless dust fell down, spilling all over the people in the hall, and then the sound of Liang Yidao falling to the ground. Liang Yidao, who fell to the ground, was like a rotten flesh, and there was no movement at all.

Liang Yijian and Liang Yidao walked towards the steps at the same time. While Liang Yidao was in danger, he also discovered something was wrong. Huo turned around and the sword was unsheathed at the same time, but it still seemed a little late. As soon as the sword was raised, there was a bright light in his eyes. He shouted loudly, raising the sword toward the brilliant sword light, and the swords and swords collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

Then, the sword broke. Liang Yijian held the long sword with half of Shangyu's sword blade, and stood there like a wooden sculpture. After a while, everyone saw a red line appearing on his forehead, and blood beads seeped out from the red line. Then, the person was divided into two halves, one half fell down to the steps, and the other half fell on the steps. The hall was instantly filled with blood.

The two of them took action at the same time, but in front of Yinggu, Liang Yidao didn't even have a chance to draw it, but Liang Yijian still tried hard to draw out his long sword. Although there was no difference in the result, this was the difference between a master and a half-step master.

Yinggu looked at Huo Guang with some dissatisfaction. One of the very easy things was actually bloody and disgusting. Huo Guang spread his hands and expressed his helplessness. Liang Yijian was also a level nine master. If it weren't for the sudden attack, the other party would never have thought that in the hall, there was a good martial arts practitioner with a much higher martial arts cultivation than him. He wouldn't have killed the other party with one knife.

Suddenly, when Liang Yidao fell to the ground, there was still a chilling sound in the hall. When Liang Yijian was divided into two pieces, there was a sound of ghosts crying and howling in the hall. The less timid, his legs became weak and he collapsed to the ground and fainted.

The warriors in the hall who were originally holding swords were all stunned at this time. They stared blankly at the scene that had just happened on the steps, and their whole bodies were trembling. In addition to the two dead worshippers, at this moment, Master Le, the general of Dawen, pressed one hand on the head of Prince Wu Jing, and the other hand was really carrying him like a cub.

Zhou Tai felt a buzzing sound in his mind. He thought the overall situation was in control and everything was under control. Unexpectedly, the form reversed instantly, and the two major priests were killed instantly, and even the prince was controlled.

It turned out that not only Zhang Ning surrendered to the Taiping Army, but also Le Eunuch Le surrendered to the other side.

A look of despair flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Ning turned proudly, looked at the warriors in the hall, and said coldly: "The prince did things against the people, and did not regard the people as the most important thing. You all have a small family in Yuejing. Could it be that your family will also become hungry in the war? Put down your weapons, but you will be innocent."

The soldiers still did not wake up from the huge shock, but Yinggu was a little impatient. His body swayed, like a ghost, and wandered through the hall like lightning. Sharp steel knives flew up one after another, and amid the sound of snatching, they were neatly inserted on the beam of the top of the hall. Immediately afterwards, the heavy gate of the Daming Palace made a muffled sound, which was shattered by Yinggu's palm.

In the smoke and dust in the sky, a soldier was flying along the avenue to the Daming Hall, which was the city gate army led by Zhang Jian.
