"Long time no see vulture, I thought you were killed by that old emperor." A tall man in black robe suddenly appeared behind Kong Ningshuang at some point, different from the calm and restrained before, he seemed very casual.

Kong Ningshuang's heart tightened, it wasn't the first time she knew that the crow's skill was so great, she didn't know when she approached her, but she turned around pretending to be calm and smiled like a flower: "Is that why you want my slave to die? "

The crow's dark eyes took a deep look at her, without pointing out anything, just turned around and said: "Since you are fine, why don't you go back to Feng Wang's side, you should know that the wind has picked up recently, and it's time to go back to the forest."

Kong Ningshuang still smiled slightly: "Of course I know, I won't let you come out to meet me. I spent a lot of time escaping from the palace in the chaos, and I was afraid of pursuers, so I didn't come to meet you immediately."

The crow didn't suspect him, so he sighed softly and said, "Are you injured?"

"Never," Kong Ningshuang shook her head, "The old emperor is still thinking about his old love, and he didn't kill me. If he didn't kill me, I wouldn't have a chance to escape."

She changed her mind and thought: "The war is urgent now. I have been relegated to Jinling for many years, but I don't know where the Phoenix King's troops come from to confront the imperial court head-on?"

Crow snorted: "This is Feng Wang's business, even if our subordinates are confidantes, we don't need to know everything, we just need to follow his orders."

Kong Ningshuang thought for a while, and felt that what the crow said made sense, and finally felt relieved: "So, thank you for your hard work, take me to see Feng Wang."

Crow raised the corners of her lips: "I'll tell you where King Feng is, you go first, I still have some things to do that he told me to do."

Kong Ningshuang's eyes flashed a fleeting gloomy coldness, and then she smiled and said, "Anything you want."

After her figure disappeared into the darkness, the crow quietly looked at the direction where she was evading for a long time, and finally said softly: "Feng Wang, do you think he is trustworthy?"

"It's a pity that I'm not a peacock, and I don't know how to read people's hearts." Feng Tian gradually emerged from the darkness behind him, the crow bowed respectfully, Feng Tian waved his hands, and looked unreachably in the direction where Kong Ningshuang disappeared.

"My lord, the number of people in the Qianjun Camp has been counted. It is the same as when the old general was there ten years ago. There is no mistake in the replacement of personnel." Huo Ting sent the roster, and the old butler finally returned to the time when he fought with the old general. High spirits.

Huo Xiao took the roster and glanced at it casually, then pointed out one of them and asked: "I remember that this soldier was admired by my father back then, and I never heard of him dying in the line of duty, why was he replaced and disappeared? "

Huo Ting squinted his eyes and didn't know the reason, only heard the fifth girl's laughter gradually: "Huo Xiao, can you still hold your breath?"

Huo Xiao glanced at it but remained silent, still flipping through the roster in his hand.

The Fifth Ting Girl sighed: "Is it good or bad for you to be sullen? Is the deal we made before so embarrassing?"

As soon as Huo Ting heard the word transaction, he immediately looked hostilely at the fifth court girl, but the other party's eyes were frank and without guilt.

"No need." Huo Xiao said lightly.

The Fifth Ting Girl gritted her teeth: "Okay, then let me beg you unilaterally."

Only then did Huo Xiao raise the corners of his mouth: "Since the Fifth General's request is so earnest, then this king might as well listen."

The Fifth Ting Nu was not annoyed, she just frowned slightly and said, "What I told you in Yuhua Building that day, use what I know about the inside story of Daqi's military power to keep you alone..."

The old god Huo Xiao was listening: "Now I know how you can vouch for one person so easily, but that person..."

Fifth Tingnv interrupted in confusion: "Why are you still dissatisfied! After Qianjun's camp returned to the court, he refused to obey the new general's discipline, but the stupid emperor didn't order any punishment. , You don’t want to find out what’s going on in the past ten years? Don’t tell me you don’t want to. You can hide your secret actions from everyone, but you can’t hide it from me. After all, the Zhen Guojun has been in my hands for ten years.”

Huo Xiao's eyes changed, he leaned on the chair and looked at the other party.

Fifth Ting Nu took a deep breath and said, "Zhen Guojun and Qianjun Battalion, whether you believe it or not, whether you want to or not, they have actually merged into one."

Huo Ting was horrified, and overturned the case by mistake: "You, what are you talking about! Why did the General's Qianjun Battalion get mixed up with some Zhen Guojun!"

Huo Xiao's eyes widened instantly: "Speak clearly!"

The fifth Ting girl snorted: "When the old general passed away, the whole court was caught off guard. You were still suppressing the tigers and dragons wandering outside the imperial city, and there was no one in the Qianjun camp inside the imperial city. The bitter fruit Qu Binglong found for himself weakened the military officers, so that no one dared to take over at that time, only I, who was still training the Zhen Guojun, took over the Qianjun Battalion."

Huo Xiao clenched his fists inadvertently: "You mean, for the past ten years, the Qianjun Camp has not been managed by the emperor himself, but has been handed over to you, together with the Zhen Guojun?"

Fifth Ting Nu seemed to know what he was thinking, she sneered and said: "Don't use your bureaucratic thinking to speculate on me, you big-hearted people are full-hearted, if I really have the intention of rebellion, you still have to jump around now chance?"

Huo Ting still couldn't calm down, he stumbled and grabbed the fifth girl by the neck and said, "What did you do to the general's Qianjun camp, tell me!"

The fifth Ting girl looked at the crazy old man, with a hint of unbearable expression on her face, she said with restraint: "Qianjun Battalion is worthy of being the direct soldiers of the Daqi Army God, I can't command it, and I see that the Zhen Guojun has not yet formed. With the strength of character, I thought of splitting the two teams and recombining them, using the new records of the Zhen Guojun to redefine the Thousand Jun Camp, and then using the atmosphere of the Qian Jun Camp to fabricate the Zhen Guo Army."

Huo Xiao whispered: "Why didn't those veterans tell me!"

The fifth girl smiled: "When I split them up, I naturally didn't tell them what I was going to do. It's normal for them not to know the truth."

"Then the current one in my hand is the Qianjun Battalion, or the Zhen Guo Army?" Huo Xiao calmed down, looked at him and asked.

Suddenly there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes outside the tent, Huo Xiao's complexion changed, thinking that Qihuang Mountain was coming, and the handsome face of the fifth court girl shone brightly under the light:

"Now, they're all yours."

"What exactly do you want to achieve by doing this? If it's for such a person, you can tie him up and take him away. With all your strength and connections, this king may not be able to defeat you." Huo Xiao asked calmly in front of the camp. He just needs to open the curtain and the scene outside will come into view.

Huo Ting, who was already a little distracted, was appeased by the fifth Ting girl, and said in a low voice: "No, I have wanted to do this for a long time. You Daqi's soldiers, I can help you practice at most, but I still need you to lead them. .”

Huo Xiao lost his words for a moment. He was stunned for a while and turned around to lift the curtain. The veterans outside the tent were already extremely surprised to see each other again after ten years. There were so many people in the brightly lit camp, but at this moment, there was no sound at all.

Huo Xiao moved his lips, there were many familiar faces in front of him, even the veterans who hugged him when he was a child were here, this sense of lost and regained sense of steadfastness made him red-eyed in an instant.

"Everyone... you have worked hard!"

In an instant, the roars of the boys resounded through the camp outside the border city, and the blood surged and erupted in the body, like fine wine brewed by time to become more mellow, stirring people's hearts.

Huo Ting looked at his old friends with tears in his eyes, his lips trembled excitedly and he couldn't say a word. The fifth girl was in the tent and looked at the lively scene outside. These people had received the training of recruits under him. , Take them by themselves to switch from veterans to recruits. These soldiers are all one in a hundred, but only when they face the descendants of the Huo family can they really show their happy expressions.

"Old slave... I misunderstood the Fifth General before!" Huo Ting walked tremblingly to Fifth Tingnv, cupped his fists with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Fifth General!"

The content of thank you is self-evident, Fifth Tingnv smiled slightly: "The old butler has followed the old general for many years, and Fifth understands his heart."

Huo Xiao turned from the flames and looked gratefully at the Fifth Court Girl. He couldn't say these words of thanks, but Huo Ting said it for him. He looked at the Fifth Court Girl from afar, and the Fifth Court Girl also returned the same smile .

In this way, the huge problem that even Huo Xiao buried in his heart and did not dare to guess rashly was solved. Since the Zhen Guojun has merged with the Huo family's Qianjun Camp, in the name of Huo Xiao, the two armies Daqi's tiger and wolf division will surely occupy the center of this storm.

"Report-"

There was a sudden cry of panic among the laughter. Everyone looked around and saw a bloody cavalry galloping all the way from the entrance of the barracks. With an arrow, the blood soaked the uniform and it was wet to the touch.

"What happened." Huo Xiao's eyes twitched, and he immediately went to help the seriously injured soldier. The soldier's lips were trembling and he was almost unable to hold on. He continued intermittently: "Northwest... a large number of... habitats appeared in the northwest... Habitat..."

Before he finished speaking, the soldier's eyes widened, and his breath was no longer enough to support him, so a mouthful of blood foamed up, and he could no longer utter a word.The atmosphere changed so quickly that everyone who was still celebrating the reunion of the two armies at first realized that it was the time when the enemy army was marching towards Jinling.

Huo Xiao's eyes darkened, he stood up and asked, "Has the son come back?"

Huoting shook his head and lowered his head in embarrassment.The Fifth Ting Girl stepped forward to put Huo Xiao on the shoulder, and said with a blank expression: "What we need to do at this time is not to gather troops to defend together. The main force of Qihuang Mountain is advancing from the northwest all the way to Jinling. The two generals Shen and Zhou are stuck in the front I don't know life or death, my lord please make a decision as soon as possible."

The implication is to blame Huo Xiao for being single-minded and disregarding the overall situation for the sake of fame.

Huo Xiao's face was calm and unchanged. He was neither contradicted nor annoyed by the fifth Ting girl's words in front of everyone, but he was not at all ashamed. He waved his hand: "This king makes his own decisions. If you trust me, he will obey the military orders. Any violations will be dealt with by military law!"

Back in the tent, Fifth Tingnv changed her expression of disapproval outside, and asked in a low voice: "Why did Qihuang Mountain break the line of defense all of a sudden, did you do it on purpose?"

Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly, and the Fifth Ting Girl was even more surprised: "You don't know either!"

"No, it is imperative to recruit Qu Chengluan to return to the camp. If he doesn't know the master in the capital, he will be in peace. I don't want such a thing to happen." Huo Xiao said coldly.

Fifth Ting Nu also frowned: "Why is this royal child so ignorant? When is this?"

Huo Xiao didn't answer, but just threw out a secret letter. The fifth Ting girl opened it and her expression changed instantly: "Why is Bingyu and Qu Mingkun together!"

"You should be thankful that he doesn't know about your relationship with Prince Rong," Huo Xiao said, "Now he doesn't know what's going on in the capital. If he doesn't feel at ease first, it will be troublesome."

The Fifth Ting Girl hesitated: "Are you really going to..."

The corners of Huo Xiao's lips curled up: "This king has ordered people to invite Shen Chen to come back quickly. When he comes back, Ruan Zhengqing will be with him."

The Fifth Ting Girl asked, "Ruan Zhengqing? That phoenix on Mount Qihuang that came true?"

Huo Xiao nodded inexplicably.

"How could he submit to you, and how could he be with General Shen..." He asked blankly, but he seemed to understand something, and suddenly looked at Huo Xiao. Huo Xiao didn't know how much he understood, so he just replied : "It's good to know, the feud between Benwang and Qu Mingkun is over."

Fifth Ting Nu looked worriedly at Wen Renhuang who was still in a coma, and said in a low voice, "What should he do?"

Huo Xiao's voice was like thunder: "This king will definitely let him wake up safe and sound."
