Lang Sang Pass is a must-pass place for Annan and the Ming Dynasty, located forty miles south of Lang Sang.

The pass is equivalent to a large city block, with continuous mountains on both sides.

In the pass, countless chariots and horses passed by. Not only did they stockpile a large amount of food and grass in the barrier, but they also stationed thousands of troops and horses.

It was already dark at this time, but there were still countless torches under the stars. This was the food route for the army in the south. Whether it was day or night, there were endless grain trucks leading here.

The officers and soldiers guarding the pass were on three shifts, and the atmosphere was tense. Many scouts were placed around, and these scouts kept reporting news inside and outside the pass, promptly.

In a dim house in Guansai, the room was very simple, with only one couch, one table, and one chair.

A white candle shone slowly, and sitting on the desk was a middle-aged man wearing a navy official robe. His black hat was placed on the desk, and there was also a pen and ink on the desk. This official was Wu Teng, the army envoy.

Wu Teng's face looked very bad and looked sallow, which looked particularly terrifying under this white candle.

He almost collapsed on the chair, his face muscles twitching and trembling slightly. Finally, he let out a deep breath, and two lines of clear tears fell.

Gripping his teeth, Wu Teng grabbed the pen with a trembling hand and wrote on the paper: "Zihou my son, who wrote a book the day before yesterday, has read it for his father. Since he is ambitious, he is very relieved to his father. The day before yesterday, I asked Ziyu to collect several books in the capital and ordered people to send them back to my hometown. I hope you can study it well and never be humiliated. My family is honest, so I often live in poverty. As for the matter of industry, I have never said that it is just a straightforward and unmanaged business... Isn't it a good thing to keep my descendants with innocent innocence?"

At this point, Wu Teng's eyes were already blurred. If he said that at first he wrote just an ordinary letter from home, advising his son to go to school and tell him the principles of being a human being, but this last sentence, isn't it too much to leave his descendants with innocence, but it is clearly a suicide note.

He took a deep breath, blew dry the ink marks, and looked carefully. Finally, he picked up the pen and wrote: "Although you are weak, you are just for your father to be in Annan now. There are so many good fortunes and good fortunes. You are also the father's wishes. You need to endure the pain. To support your mother, and to stay at home, you will learn more about the classics. When the preservation period is over, you can go to Jinling for examination. Brother Zi Yu is the old friend of his father, and after my son arrives in Beijing..."

A letter of family was completed. Wu Teng's face became solemn, threw the letter aside, spread the white paper, and solemnly wrote: "Wu Teng, the commander of the Guangxi Prefecture of the Censorate, reported that he was ordered to follow the army to inspect the illegalities in the army, and dared not slack off. He visited Shenglong, Haidang, Qiongshan and other places, and his eyes were shocking. The illegalities in the army were vivid in his mind, and he thought about it carefully and did not dare not report it. There are three illegalities in the army, one is: plundering troops; the second is: robbing troops; the third is: robbing weapons; the third is: stolen and selling tributes. Such all kinds of things make people shudder, and among them, Wang Yong, the garrison of Liangshan Pass is the most. The garrison of Liangshan colluded with merchant Liu Jian..."

As a memorial was completed, Wu Teng's forehead was already sweating profusely.

He sighed, as if he had made up some determination, so he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Come...Come...Wu Liu...Wu Liu..."

A thin man gently opened a corner of the door and came in and said, "Master, what are the instructions?"

The memorials and letters were packed up, and Wu Teng solemnly handed over these two things to him and instructed: "Get out of the customs immediately and send them to the capital quickly. Don't pass through the post of Guangxi. You hire a horse and send them to Yongzhou Prefecture at night. Then ask people to send them for 800 miles in a hurry. Be careful along the way, and you must not make any mistakes. You... go."

"Yes, lord, I'll go now."

The man left in a hurry, but Wu Teng was like a deflated ball and immediately collapsed on the chair.

This sitting lasted a whole night.

In the early morning, the sound of messy boots came from outside. Most of the buildings here are mainly made of wood. Because they are damp, they are often in the form of stilt houses. If there is any noise outside, the inside of the house will be clearly in the ears.

Wu Teng did not move, and then the door broke open.

The leader was burly and wearing a new imperial bullfighting suit. The boots under his feet were steadily paused and stepped in.

Behind him were several powerful warriors of Kong Wu, each of whom was burly and extraordinary, but at this moment, the room was filled with a strong and murderous aura.

The military officer in charge smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Wu hasn't slept all night?"

Wu Teng picked up the black hat on the desk, put it on his head steadily, dusted the dust on his body, and stood up.

He recognized the person in front of him, who was Wang Yong, the guardian of Lang Shan Pass.

"Why didn't Wang Shoubei sleep all night?"

Wang Yong suddenly smiled, and a trace of fear appeared deep in his eyes.

Wu Teng is uneasy, how can he live? Wu Teng dares to sleep all night, why can he toss and turn?

Wang Yong said: "Yes, I can't sleep. The imperial envoy of the court has been in Guanzhong for nearly half a month. In the past half month, I have seen too many things and heard too many things. Where can I sleep? Where can I eat? Alas... Lord Wu, you have returned the money I gave you. You drove them away. Whenever I did this, I was very scared. I was always afraid that one day, once the imperial edict of the court arrived, I immediately became a prisoner. Now, I have figured it out. Instead of going like this, it is better to break between you and me!" Wang Yong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he sneered, pulling out the sharp blade on his waist.

Wu Teng said seriously: "Do you know what the crime is to kill the imperial envoy and kill the imperial officials?"

Wang Yong smiled and said, "No, it was not the general who killed the adults, but the rioters. On the fourth day of November of the second year of Yongle, the people of Lang San changed their lives and entered the county town, killed the local county magistrate, and entered the Liangshan Pass. The general fought to the death with the adults. In the end, the adults were unfortunately killed by the rioters. I finally managed to defend the pass and dispersed the rioters. Look, what's the arrangement?"

Wu Teng also smiled and said, "You are really planning, but it's a pity that it's too late!"

"Is it late?" Wang Yong's face looked very bad.

Wu Teng said: "Yes, I have already put your evil deeds on Emperor Chen. Once I die, the court will definitely suspect you, so even if you have done everything, you will still be one step late!"

Wang Yong's eyes were even more frightened, his pupils continued to shrink, and he finally laughed wildly: "Okay, that's fine. Since that's the case, then the whole Annan doesn't have to live in peace, so just turn the other way around. Wu Teng, you are too stupid. You think you're doing something for the court, but you don't know that you've done this to mislead your court. You forced us to the corner and left us no way out. The overall situation of the imperial court's southern expedition will be over. If you don't let your brothers have a meal, Annan will be in chaos."

Wu Teng closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Kill!" Wang Yong roared, and the warriors behind him were already drawing their swords and were about to take action.

"Let's go!" Wu Teng took a deep breath. There was no fear in his eyes, but instead said calmly: "Stay for a while and let me get dressed and do it."

He held the black hat on his head and smoothed the wrinkles on his official robe. Several warriors rushed up and kicked him to the ground with one kick. Several sharp blades penetrated into his chest and abdomen. The long sword was pulled out and blood splattered all over the floor.

Wang Yong had already pressed his knife out of the room, looking at the dark sky, several military officers with gloomy faces were waiting outside.

Wang Yong glanced at them and said word by word: "The plan has changed, so there is no need to rely on the rioters anymore. I send the message to the county town and let the rioters go down the mountain. The rioters are the deputy general of the rioters, and the rioters are the ones who say that the matter is exposed. The imperial court will arrest us and arrive in half a month. Now, the only way is to join forces with the rioters of Annan to take Annan and compete with the court. If we hesitate, we will die without a place to bury us. Please contact the towns immediately and let them raise trouble immediately. Take down Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng. Do not miss the opportunity to fight."

The military officers showed hesitation.

Wang Yong shouted: "Why, are you afraid now? Why are you not afraid when you steal and sell weapons? Why are you not afraid when you put the white silver in your pocket? But now, you are afraid? You are afraid of a little bit today, and you will have to be in a different place tomorrow. Are you not afraid?"

A military official said: "Sir, what should we do now?"

Wang Yong narrowed his eyes and said, "King Zhao and Prince Chen of Annan have arrived in Langshan. Good, great. After the people went down the mountain, we immediately led our troops to Langshan. Holding King Zhao can make the court afraid and make them afraid to throw themselves into the arms of the rat. Holding Prince Chen can hold him hostage Annan and conquer the people of Annan. From then on, Annan has nothing to do with the Ming court. Please make preparations quickly. There is not much time left, so you can definitely not give the court any time. When the court reacts, Annan must fall into our hands."

Several military officers took a deep breath and showed pain. After making this decision, it means that they have no relationship with the Ming Dynasty from then on, nor have they had no relationship with their parents, wife and children in their family.

Finally, someone couldn't help saying, "I want to live. Whoever wants me to die will chop him into meat sauce. Now, the matter has only reversed."

"Reverse...Reverse..."

In the darkness, their faces became ferocious, and their eyes, like hungry wolf-like eyes, seemed to have lost their minds.
