When Xue Cunxiao's troops conquered Yulou City on the eastern front, when the Donghai City Shenkuan visited Cui Mansion, outside Jibei Pass in the north, the Murong Xianbei troops, which had been blocked by the imperial army, began to move.

In response to the Murong Xianbei tribe's guards, Jibei Pass, Xingyue Shen Cult and Louwailou spies were all dispatched.

However, the Murong Xianbei tribe has been staying outside the pass for more than half a month, but it still does not retreat or advance. Gradually, the defenders of Jibei Pass felt that the Murong Xianbei tribe was more like they were doing it for the two major families. On the one hand, there were reasons for not being able to move south, and on the other hand, they could get the reward they deserved, with the best of both worlds.

After all, in the eyes of the Jibei Pass defenders, the Murong Xianbei troops were more like doing this trip, so they relaxed their vigilance against them after a while.

The Murong Xianbei tribe was a relatively small tribe on the northern grassland. In the past, the Murong Xianbei mediated it not only did not expand or even suffered setbacks, so in the years that followed, they basically surrendered to the surrounding powers and did not compete with the outside world.

The Northern Wei and Murong Xianbei tribes actually have a certain relationship, so the Northern Wei Dynasty has always been in peace with the capital after thinking about this relationship.

If the Murong Xianbei tribe was haunted by other nomadic peoples, the Great Wei defenders on the northern border would even help resist one or two.

However, due to the geographical location of the Xianbei tribe of Murong, they inevitably had more contact with the Gao family in Qizhou and the Cui family in Qinghe.

When the old emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was reigned, he had been fighting for many years when he was young, so he lost his plan to send troops to the Murong Xianbei army in his later years. He felt that as long as they were peaceful and the old emperor turned a blind eye and passed by.

However, this behavior of the Northern Wei did not bring gratitude to the Murong Xianbei tribe. Especially after the new king took office, the Murong Xianbei seized the situation of the Northern Wei and was attacked by the north and south, and decisively reached a consensus with the two major families.

In this way, you can no longer pay tribute to the Northern Wei Dynasty every year, and secondly, you can use the power of the two major families to shock other tribes that are eyeing each other. Rouran and Goguryeo, further north, will throw themselves into trouble and restrain themselves.

Murong Xianbei made a good plan, but they not only looked up to the abilities of the two major families, but also underestimated the true strength of the Northern Wei court.

Now that things have come to this point, although they still have room for maneuver, the new king has long been reluctant to look back.

Outside Jibei Pass, the Murong Xianbei tribe, who had been holding troops, had a secret movement tonight.

Jibei Pass is 300 miles away from Cangnan City, controlled by the Cui family in Qinghe. Although the journey is long, as long as you pass Jibei Pass, there will be no large-scale military garrison from the court to Cangnan.

Therefore, as long as we bypass Jibei Pass, the army will definitely meet with the defenders of Cangnan City all the way south.

The current leading general of the Murong Xianbei tribe is named Murong Chu. Judging from the current orthodox royal family, he is considered a member of the marginal branch.

However, because of Murong Chu's outstanding military capabilities, he was highly valued by the new king.

The Xianbei tribe of Murong has not fought with the Northern Wei for decades, and Murong Chu himself has only learned about the military strength of the Northern Wei through each piece of news.

Some time ago, Murong Chu naturally knew that Jiuquan City was conquered by Rouran, and this also gave him a new estimate of the true strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The number of Northern Wei defenders in Jibei Pass was comparable to that of the troops led by Murong Chu this time. Because he did not want to have a head-on conflict here, Murong Chu took the attitude of showing the enemy as a weak person and never really took action.

But the agreement with the two major families needs to be implemented, and it is only a matter of time to go south.

The two major families and their guarantees are that they do not need to work hard, but they are more likely to delay and intimidate the imperial army.

Tonight, the defenders at the front of Jibei Pass were looking at the camps of the Murong Xianbei tribe in the distance as usual. The lights in the village were still there, and everything was as usual, so the defenders at the Jibei Pass did not pay much attention to it as usual.

It was really because this group of people neither advanced nor retreated. Over time, the defenders on the city thought they would be spent here.

However, Murong Chu decided to take advantage of the night tonight to go westward and go south to Cangnan City.

This approach is naturally risky, but as long as you bypass Jibei Pass, you will be able to

Walking fifty miles forward will lead to complete escape from danger.

Since it is a risky thing, you can't hurry.

Murong Chu waited until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the temperature outside the pass was extremely low at midnight. There were not many soldiers at the top of Jibei Pass and were willing to stay for a long time, so he quickly ignored the Murong Xianbei tribe in the distance.

And Murong Chu also realized that the opportunity had come.

The army set out, with a small group of vanguard troops in front, Murong Chu led a large number of central troops in the middle, and the logistics troops that could carry were behind the palace.

There is not much time left for them, so Murong Chu understands that they need to be fast.

The camp was left here on the spot without moving, and all the supplies that could not be taken away were destroyed on the spot.

Half an hour later, the clouds gradually rose and covered the moonlight for a while. Murong Chu couldn't help but sigh that even the heaven was helping them.

The army drove westward, but was not discovered by the Jibei Pass defenders.

In this way, Murong Chu led his troops to march overnight and successfully bypassed Jibei Pass to the south. When the Jibei Pass defenders discovered that it was a few days later, and Murong Chu's troops had already arrived in Cangnan City.

At that time, news of the fall of Yulou City spread. Dugu Chong ordered Xue Cunxiao to continue leading his troops eastward, and the army was approaching Chen Tai.

All of this is still a story. When Shen Kuang and Cui Minglang met, the situation was still the current situation.

It is not the first time Cui Minglang and Shen Kuang have met, but it is the first time that there are only two people like this.

Both sides felt like a mirror, but Cui Minglang still showed a warm smile when he saw Shen Kuang.

"Brother Shen, don't be fine. We haven't seen each other for several months since we left Kangzhucheng. Today we are preparing a banquet, so we can eat and chat."

Cui Minglang walked towards Shen Kuang while he was almost in a siege. He raised his hand and signaled to take Shen Kuang to the backyard.

After all, he has walked a lot of roads, so Shen Kuang is now at ease in dealing with these things.

Shen Kuang did not show up with Cui Minglang immediately. He followed the other party and left with Cui Minglang.

The prepared banquet was in a simple decorated wing room. By the time the two of them sat down, the maids were serving food one after another.

The dishes are simple and are considered a home-cooked dish.

When the food was finished, only one maid stayed to serve Shen Kuang and Cui Minglang to drink.

After sitting down, Cui Minglang was not in a hurry to talk about the important matter with Shen Kuan. Instead, he introduced the stayed maid first.

Cui Minglang said, "I know that Brother Shen has many beautiful confidants, and they are not ordinary people. Brother Shen, let's see how my newly acquired maid is. If you like it, I will give it to Brother Shen."

Because Shen Kuang has been paying attention to Cui Minglang, he has never cared about the maid Shen Kuang, who is serving the side.

Hearing this, Chen Kuang glanced at it.

The maid was dressed in black clothes, unlike an ordinary maid, and was obviously dressed as a man from the martial arts world.

The girl's cheeks were thin but she looked a lot of determined. She seemed to be a maid because of some unspeakable reasons.

When Chen Kuang looked at it, the woman was lowering her head. Although she couldn't see her eyebrows, Chen Kuang suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Because of curiosity, Chen Kuang's eyes paused. When Cui Minglang saw that Chen Kuang had fallen in love with this woman.

There are also rumors that Shen Kuang is lustful at the end of the city. Cui Minglang actually thinks so, so this maid is actually an arrangement with his ulterior motives.

The ordinary girl naturally couldn't catch the eye of Shen Gu, and this maid was also chosen by Cui Minglang.

After Chen Kuang looked at the maid for a moment, Cui Minglang smiled and said, "You are not looking up and letting Mr. Chen see."

The maid slowly raised her head when she heard this, but her eyes dodged at this moment.

When Chen Kuang saw the maid's face, his former memories quickly emerged, and he also remembered where the familiarity came from.

After the incident in Kangzhu City was over, Chen Kuang accidentally broke into a small world on his way back. In the small world, he met Mu Yunfu, who also accidentally broke into Luoyang.

At first, they were separated

At that time, Chen Kuang even gave her a seal without words.

The two met very briefly, but Chen Kuang remembered that she was a cold-looking girl, and there seemed to be a story hidden on her body.

Chen Kuang didn't expect to meet Mu Yunfu again at such a time and at such a place. I don't know what happened to her that made her fall to this point.

When Mu Yunfu saw Chen Kuang, he obviously recognized him. Although they had changed over time, Mu Yunfu could vaguely recognize him.

When he saw each other, Chen Kuang no longer had a slight sad face as before. He became a little more mature, but he became like a prisoner.

Both of them were shocked, but they did not recognize each other here.

Tonight Cui Minglang made Mu Yunfu know the purpose of her coming here, and she didn't expect that the person coming would be Chen Kuan.

The two of them resolved the accident on their faces in just a moment. Chen Kuang retracted his gaze and returned to his smiling faces. Everything seemed to have not happened.

Cui Minglang did not notice the fleeting expressions on Chen Kuang and Mu Yunfu's faces, but Chen Kuang's reaction made Cui Minglang sure that Chen Kuang was interested in Mu Yunfu.

However, despite this, Cui Minglang did not make any further statements.

Cui Minglang raised his hand and signaled that Mu Yunfu would come and pour wine for the two of them.

While Mu Yunfu poured wine for the two, Cui Minglang smiled and introduced, "Brother Chen, my maid's name is Mu Yunfu. I won't explain the reason why she came to Cui's family. However, she has some martial arts and good sword skills. I think it's good, so I took it under my command."

Chen Kuang is a martial arts master Cui Minglang knew that before that Cui Minglang also received reminders from his parents and elders, asking him to be more careful about Chen Kuang. Therefore, Cui Minglang deliberately did not say much about Mu Yunfu's realm, and he hoped that Chen Kuang's sight would be on Mu Yunfu.

Mu Yunfu poured a glass of wine for Chen Kuang and Cui Minglang, and Cui Minglang then raised his glass and said, "Young Master Chen, I'll give you a glass first."

Chen Kuang also picked up the wine glass when he heard this, while Cui Minglang first drank it step by step, as if he was afraid that Chen Kuang would think that the wine was poisonous.

Chen Kuang immediately drank the cup full.

Seeing this, Mu Yunfu, who was beside the costume, stepped forward to fill the two of them again.

After drinking a glass of wine, the politeness that should be felt came to this point, so Chen Kuang said straight: "Mr. Cui, since we invite me, we will be straightforward. If you don't like this kind of politeness, I also hate it. Don't disgust yourself so much."

Cui Minglang smiled faintly when he heard this. Chen Kuang was right, there was really no need to disgust himself.

Cui Minglang smiled and said, "Since Mr. Chen said that, I won't beat around the bush. You don't have to worry about the safety of those two girls now in Cui's house. You also understand that if you cross the river, there is a court in front of you, and the Star and Moon God Sect behind you. It is really not easy for us to survive in the cracks. Of course, since we rebel, this is what we should bear, and no one else can blame us."

After saying this, Cui Minglang felt depressed, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Chen Kuang heard this and said, "Young Master Cui also knows that he is just a gangster in the world and has no ability to save you from water and fire."

After Chen Kuang finished speaking, Cui Minglang smiled and said, "The reason is clear. I won't mention such an rude request. I just hope that Mr. Chen can agree to the next request."

Cui Minglang said this, and Chen Kuang and Han Zhongjing both expected it. After all, their purpose was nothing more than the word profit.

After Cui Minglang said that, Chen Kuang did not give an answer but asked back, "My uncle loves the most is Shi Yu and Xiang'er. Does Mr. Cui know the consequences of doing this?".z.br

Chen Kuang's words were dull, but there was still a hint of threatening.

Cui Minglang naturally knew the meaning, but he just smiled and didn't care at all.

"Brother Chen, this decision is not my own. Although I am the eldest son of Cui in name, I really have some say? Brother Chen, let's drink it first."

However, after saying a word, he made excuses the question of Shen Qun, and of course Cui Minglang also gave the answer.

Chen Kuan smiled indifferently when he heard this. Since he knew the consequences and dared to do this, he was fearless.

"Young Master Cui might as well tell me what you ask for," said Chen Kuang.

Upon hearing this, Cui Minglang first signaled Mu Yunfu to continue pouring wine for Chen Kuan.

After a while, he said slowly, "We will put things in a short while. Since Mr. Chen comes to the door, we might as well eat and drink first, otherwise outsiders will say that I, Cui, is not well treated well."
