Outside the west city of Shaonan, Xiao Yu and Meng Yan were covered with clothes and looked at the army heading west. Xiao Yu shook his whip in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Second brother, do you think Gu is crazy or Yuan Changli is crazy?

?”

"The prince has an agreement with Yuan Changli. It should be the Gu family who is looking for trouble. I still know Ma Tong. He is a retainer of the royal family of the Ling Dynasty and is not something Yuan Changli can restrict." Meng Yan said with a smile on his face.

A buzzed and said.

"Can you take off that damn mask of yours? Since when did you get this hobby?" Xiao Yu felt extremely uncomfortable listening to the voice.

"No, please stay away from my new hobby." Meng Yan refused.

"Tch, don't think I don't know. Xia Houying has already told me that the tiger paw marks on his face are uncomfortable." Xiao Yu said in a teasing tone.

"You should worry about yourself. Although Ma Tong is not your opponent, the situation on Yinqing Road is complicated. Most of the 6,000 people stationed there are former ministers of the Chong family, and Chongqi is on your flank. If he joins forces with Ma Tong,

It's enough for you." Meng Yan didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing.

"Second brother, please take care of yourself. I'm not worried about you. I just need to control your emotions. Uncle Meng fell into their hands. Don't forget that the Gu family is a member of the martial arts family and has raised many assassins.

, Gu’s ‘Xingqi Luobu’ can be used in military formations no less than those of the current military formations.” Xiao Yu reminded with concern, he had been joking about Meng Yan just to try to ease his mood, but Gu’s is his

Obsession can't be let go with ease. There is no way I can't fight side by side with him, I can only remind him repeatedly.

"You've said it many times, the Gu family's people won't hurt me that easily. The worst I can do is hide in Shaonan Pass and not come out. Gu Qufeng will die of panic." Meng Yan said with a smile.

"It's best to have this mentality. My uncle doesn't mean to let us kill them. As long as we don't lose Yinqingdao and Shaonanguan, we will win. The three brothers Gu's Qufeng, Yingfeng and Yanfeng are the younger generation cultivated by Gu's efforts.

The best one, the Gu family paid a lot of money in sending Gu Qufeng this time." Xiao Yu was still worried about Meng Yan.

"Okay, you're so verbose, let's go quickly." Meng Yan impatiently used the whip in his hand to lightly whip Xiao Yu's horse. The horse jumped on its front hooves in pain and rushed out.

After finally reining in the horse, Xiao Yu turned the horse's head and shouted: "I told you, brother, just take off your visor and let me see the mark of the tiger's claws!"

"Get out!" Meng Yan's voice was filled with anger.

After Meng Yan rode back to the city alone, he went directly to the camp without returning home. He saw that the camp was well prepared and ready to go at any time. He was very satisfied with conquering Zhuo Bailing. He only saw the drunk Ye Bohuai disturbing him.

good mood.

"Master Ye, can you please wake up? We are about to set off." Meng Yan asked patiently.

"Just ask Shiyi Lang and Zhuo Baiqing to accompany you. Lao Zhuo and I will stay at home to train for you." Ye Bohuai was very drunk.

"Hey, young master, we are facing the Gu family, everyone from Wumai, and everyone from Junzhen. Isn't it too childish for you to ask a few children to accompany me?" Meng Yan couldn't understand the arrangement of the man in front of him who joined the army.

"There is no need to worry. Your own martial arts cultivation level is not low, and Shiyilang and Zhuo Baiqing have a good understanding of the techniques and formations I teach. It is just for them to practice and practice. You can't just talk on paper all the time."

." Ye Bohuai was quite confident.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. We're all your beloved disciples. As long as you and Lao Zhuo let me go, it doesn't matter." Meng Yan didn't intend to rush to deny Ye Bohuai's arrangement. No one could run away if something happened.

"By the way, you take that troublemaker away too, or you can send her away. Don't let her stay in the city. Huohuo, me and Lao Zhuo." Ye Bohuai suddenly remembered the biggest scourge in the city and hadn't even arranged to drink soberly.

Half of it.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged to find a job for her, and let her be responsible for delivering the news about the general affairs department and the military, so that the people of the Zhong family can feel more at ease." Meng Yan knew that Zhong Roulan's existence was very important to the city.

It's the end of the world for everyone. If you can't send her away, you can only take her away. This is the only way to solve everyone's troubles.

"That's good. By the way, Thirteenth Lang is not young anymore. He has been following you to learn the culture. Last time, the White Tiger Army's affairs were handled well. There is no need to keep it in front of the army. Let him try this time

How about dealing with the food and grass matter?" Ye Bohuai felt relieved when he heard that Zhong Roulan had gone somewhere.

"You have to talk to Lao Zhuo about this matter. He is in charge of the food and grass matters. I can't make the decision." Meng Yan always had clear responsibilities when doing business and never exceeded the rules or overstepped his authority in giving orders.

"You might as well ask Meng Jin to follow me. I'm a naughty young brother. If you do anything against the rules in the army, please forgive me, Marquis Shao." Zhuo Bailing appeared out of nowhere and said with a little respect.

Zhuo Bailing has rarely been satisfied with and respected Meng Yan since he became the commander of the Xuanwu Army and the governor of Shaonan County. This time he did this for Zhuo Baiqing. From his heart, Zhuo Bailing would rather keep Zhuo Baiqing.

He is by his side, but in terms of his future, he will be more successful by following Meng Yan.

Meng Yan saw Zhuo Bailing's thoughts and joked: "Zhongping has learned a lot from Ye Canjun. If nothing else, he must know a lot about ways to save his life. Don't worry, I'm here."

"All the troops, horses, food, grass and equipment have been prepared. Please review it with the commander." Zhuo Bailing said no more. Meng Yan's promise was enough.

When everything was ready, Meng Yan straightened his clothes, adjusted his face armor, and said in a deep voice: "The world is corrupt, the people are poor, and the crime of killing is Meng Yan's fault. Let's set off." After saying this, he drove his horse into the camp.

Looking at the lonely figures of Meng Yan and his horse, Ye Bohuai bowed in greeting and did not get up for a long time. Zhuo Bailing knelt down on one knee. This was the highest courtesy in the army. At this moment, Zhuo Bailing felt that he had just become a living person.

.

As the New Year is approaching, passers-by are hurriedly walking, but most of them are smiling. Since Xiao Huli took control of the eight states, he has promulgated a series of policies to benefit the people, including reducing taxes, reforming the military system, focusing on business to support the people, and curbing the influence of aristocratic families on the government.

Meng Yan's intervention simplified the way for poor people to enter the officialdom. For a time, the entire eight states were prosperous. Meng Yan led the army forward. Although the people were not particularly enthusiastic, they would not avoid it. The vendors hawking along the way were just

The stall blocking the road was moved.

"Zhong Ping, tell the sergeants in each department that if something disturbing the people happens, you should go to the military supervisor to receive the punishment. After arriving at Shaonang Pass, you, the marching commander, should always pay attention to the military discipline of each department. If there is any problem with military discipline, I will come to you." Meng Yan

He warned sternly.

"Master Marquis, most of the sergeants are vulgar people. They can't make sense when they act stupidly." Zhuo Baiqing took the opportunity to complain.

"I don't care, you are the marching commander, whether you are reasonable or military law, this is your responsibility. The sergeants are rude because no one teaches them the truth. Do you still want me to tell you this simple truth? Your brother

Your masters are all good at running the army, haven't you learned?" Meng Yan was a little angry.

Zhuo Baiqing was a little frightened when he saw Meng Yan angry. This guy was completely different with and without troops. If he continued to complain and quibble, he might lose his life, so he quickly took orders to inspect various ministries with a group of his minions.

Watching Zhuo Baiqing go away, Meng Yan turned his attention to Meng Huan. Meng Huan suddenly felt that a disaster was coming. Meng Yan saw that he was extremely nervous, burst into laughter, and said: "What are you afraid of? I'm still

Can I eat you? Or are you nervous about leading an army for the first time?"

"Brother Qi, I have never led an army before. I am afraid that you will get into trouble. I heard from my family that the other side is our enemy." Meng Huan said tremblingly.

Meng Yan looked at the young and nervous Meng Huan, and suddenly thought that when he first carried out the assassination mission, he was full of confidence, but when he really saw the fresh life passing by in his hands, he became scared.

He was so dizzy after vomiting that it was Brother Fochan who carried him back. Now Meng Huan is no longer the same person as before. The word 'Gu family' is the bottom line that cannot be touched at home, but Meng Yan does not intend to let it go.

This hatred is engraved in the hearts of Meng Huan and Meng Jin. They cannot let this hatred continue. The Gu family has lasted for more than a thousand years. It is such a large family and has more than ten thousand descendants. It is equivalent to imposing the sins of a few people on all the children of the Gu family.

For killing innocent people indiscriminately.

"Eleventh Lang, you have been lonely since you were a child, wandering around with your family, but you must remember that your family's choice has nothing to do with you. Never regard revenge as your goal in life. I took you to the battlefield to show you

I don't believe in Buddhism when it comes to looking at the various conditions of all sentient beings in the world, but the Buddhist saying that 'all sentient beings are equal' makes sense. Take a longer view. Your responsibility is to protect all the people you will protect. Do you understand?" Meng Yan said seriously and thoughtfully.

said.

Meng Huan rarely had contact with Meng Yan, and rarely received the same teachings from Meng Yan today. At this moment, Meng Huan saw Meng Yan as just a brother, not as a general who fought and killed. He had always been afraid of Meng Yan, but he also hoped that

After receiving Meng Yan's attention, he envied Meng Jin for being able to follow Meng Yan all the time. He had never expected to be taught like this. He immediately felt a sore nose, and the tears in his eyes fell down unsatisfactorily, with a cry.

Said: "Brother Qi, I know what to do."

When Meng Yan saw that Meng Huan was actually crying, he rode his horse closer to him, patted his back and comforted him, saying, "Xiao Shiyi, you are not young anymore. Please wipe your tears quickly. How embarrassing it is for a dignified general to be a battalion general."

Meng Huan also felt embarrassed, calmed down, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Seventh Brother, why did our Xuanwu Army only increase its troops by 20,000 in this expansion? When I was handling military affairs for the master in the camp these two months,

I think there are no fewer than 50,000 applicants."

"Soldiers are more important than more. Seventh Brother's use of troops is different from your master's. He is a master of formations. Of course, the more the better, but because of his training, Seventh Brother prefers to use elite soldiers to play risky chess. You don't want to

Learn from me." Meng Yan reminded seriously. He was born in the Dark Night Guard. He had always lived in the dark and walked on the edge of the cliff, and had developed the habit of taking risks.

The two brothers chatted while marching, chatting all over the world. Meng Huan was very happy. When it was almost sunset, they finally arrived at Shaonan Pass. Meng Yan and Meng Yan immediately stood in front of the pass and watched the army slowly enter the pass. Meng Huan was very happy.

What Yan didn't know was that the closest to death in his life was about to come.

There are not many people living in Shaonanguan, but due to the frequent business exchanges between the north and the south, it is still prosperous. There are restaurants, brothels, and merchants in the pass. At this moment, several people are standing on the highest restaurant in the pass and watching the army march. One of them is the leader.

The man's eyes were fixed on Meng Yan. If Meng Yan looked at the man over there, he would be shocked. This man's face was smooth and white, with sharp edges and cold handsomeness, and his thick eyebrows looked rebelliously towards him.

Upturned, a pair of dark and deep icy eyes under the long and slightly curled eyelashes, and an evil and unrestrained smile will make people feel uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time. This is Gu Yingfeng, known as the "Judge" in the world, who is good at assassinations.

, martial arts training is unknown, because everyone who has seen him has died. The Dark Night Guard has a very high opinion of this person, and rarely shows up. Meng Yan can recognize him thanks to his position as the commander of the Dark Night Guard.

Gu Yingfeng picked up a glass of wine and said to himself with a smile: "Meng Yan, it's more appropriate to call you Dark Night Guard Zhiwu. I'm sorry, you have to die." After saying this, he put a little force on his palm, and the wine glass turned into something.

of powder.
