She still had pickles and rice to swallow. At this time, Shang Jianxiong was worried and couldn't eat anything. He had been paying attention to the war in Dingzhou.

As soon as Xue Xiao's urgent call for help arrived, he learned that the 50000 troops assembled in Dingzhou were almost wiped out by 30000 troops in Nanzhou, and a county was lost. Shang Jianxiong was angry.

It's useless to denounce Xue Xiao for his incompetence. He denounced the following officials who surrendered in Kaicheng and vowed to kill the nine families if one day those officials who surrendered.

However, he was more upset. He failed to sneak into the cottage villa. He lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, which caused such a big thing.

It's not impossible to discuss with a group of ministers and dispatch reinforcements from other states, but at this time, most of the state capitals under the control of the imperial court were deployed to defend South Korea and the state of song. With the prosperity of Nanzhou soldiers, even if the remaining people of the two states were mobilized, they might not win.

The key is that once the war is expanded, it will really become a cooperation between inside and outside. There will be chaos in the state of Yan. Can South Korea and the state of song resist sending troops?

The three factions will not allow the court to do so when they know. If Shang Jianxiong dares to do so, I'm afraid he can't do it anymore.

But if you really follow what Nanzhou said, you will kill Xue Xiao and make amends for a reason made up by Nanzhou. What is the prestige of the imperial court? What do the state herdsmen in the state capitals think? Looking back, those princes who support the army and respect themselves have provoked and followed suit. What should we do? Let alone the minister's objection, Shang Jianxiong himself was the first to refuse!

Finally, at the suggestion of the ministers, Shang Jianxiong could only ask the three factions to intervene and hold down the disorderly Nanzhou!

It was difficult for Shang Jianxiong to make such a decision, which showed his incompetence as an emperor and couldn't even cure Nanzhou.

What's important is that he caused this by himself. It's useless for him not to admit some things. Everyone is not a fool. He made things like this. Finally, let the three factions come forward to wipe your ass and clean up the mess. What do you think of the three factions? It's strange that the three sects can give a good face!

At the same time, Nanzhou's attack on Dingzhou was too much to hide. Spies from various forces found out that all kinds of news were on the way back.

……

At dawn, there was a lot of noise under the castle peak county city. Ten people hanging at the head of the city carried them up. In front of the people, the defenders shot and killed ten and carried them up to collect the bodies.

"How did you kill him?"

"It's said that the imperial court let them attack secretly. The county and city garrison said that the imperial court couldn't do such a thing. They were angry that these human demons confused the public and killed them!"

The people under the city talked about it one after another.

The body was carried out of the city and buried hastily in the suburbs. When it was buried, there were more people, a man with blood and water all over his face.

The buried soldiers met and one group who sent ten bodies asked the other, "which one died?"

Another group said, "I'm not one of the people who attacked the villa, but this man's origin is not small. It's said that he was Gao Shaoming, the son of the imperial court's great situ gaojiancheng. It seems that he didn't want to implicate the family. Finally, he hit himself against the wall!"

"Oh, that's really a big story. Can't that Gao situ die of grief?"

"Sad fart, people have groups of beautiful concubines and many children and grandchildren. It's no big deal to have more children."

"Ha ha, your mouth is really damaged."

"Who is not angry? The imperial court is really unscrupulous in order to deal with our Nanzhou. It not only sneaks attacks, but also dares to rob the Lord's women. It can even do such a mean thing. I think the imperial court will be finished sooner or later!"

……

"Gao Shaoming killed himself?"

Guan Fangyi, who rushed to Niu Youdao's yard from the outside, was surprised when she saw Niu Youdao.

"What's the big deal? Do you like others?" Niu Youdao joked and walked down the steps.

"Bah!" Guan Fangyi spurned and followed him, "I'm worried that my money is gone."

"Well, here you are." Niu Youdao took out some notes from Tianxia bank and gave them to her.

"Ten million!" Guan Fangyi smiled after counting. Suddenly, his smile disappeared, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "have you hidden private money?"

"...." Niu Youdao was speechless. What is it with what?

Without saying a word, Guan Fangyi immediately grabbed him and searched him. There was a burst of random touch on his sleeve.

"Why, don't move your hands, lonely men and women, be careful to let people see a misunderstanding!" Niu Youdao's body itched and twisted to avoid.

"You've seen my bath. Are you still afraid of misunderstanding?" Guan Fangyi searched all over and found that there was no privacy. He was still a poor ghost who let him go, but his eyes looked into his room.

"Hey!" Niu Youdao pestled his sword in one hand and shook his other hand in front of her. "Where do you look? I said Hongniang, you are energetic and boring. As for you, I am a person who hides money in a corner?"

Guan Fangyi said angrily, "what about the agreed one hundred million?"

"In such a short time, where do you ask people to find 100 million? You don't really think the Gao family can come up with 100 million gold coins in cash?"

"What did you tell me when you asked me to take out three black jade carvings? What did you say? 100 million is mine. Now? One sold to Dachen mountain is worth 5 million at least, and the three in front of me are 10 million?"

"That's not how the account is calculated. If you think about it, you've got some of the five million. It's almost ten million for three."

"Niu Youdao, I think you can't calculate the accounts. Now it seems that the accounts are very clear. Do you want to be shameless?"

"I said Hongniang, you are also the first beauty in the world. The first beauty in the world should treat money like dirt. You can't drill into the eyes of money, which will damage your image."

"Don't do this. The first and second in the world have passed. Men don't have a good thing. I'm old now. It's safest to hold cash in my hand. Now I regard my false name as dirt. Give me 90 million!"

"Look at you. You're so disappointing when you compete with the old bear."

"Don't change the subject. Don't talk about feelings with my mother when talking about money. It's useless. Lie to me again and again. I'm playing around. You must explain to me this time."

"They only gave me ten million. Where can I find one hundred million? Can I owe it first?"

"OK, I can't sell you without you. Give me a time. When will you pay me back?"

"How about the next life?"

"Son of a bitch, don't run!"

Where can I go? The Taoist priest can't hide out of the house because he owes some accounts. Finally, Guan Fangyi grabbed her sleeve.

It's all right. Niu Youdao is desperate. He just doesn't have money. What can you do to me?

Playing a rogue really made Guan Fangyi's teeth itch with anger. He could only let him owe it first and pay it back when he had more.

It's just like that when they quarrel, it's over, and they still "stick together" when they turn back.

In fact, Guan Fangyi enjoys this feeling very much, so she wants to clean up Niu Youdao when she seizes the opportunity.

The two finally strolled to the grave of black peony. Looking at Niu Youdao with his pestle and sword closed, Guan Fangyi asked, "the Gao family took 10 million to buy Gao Shaoming's life?"

Niu Youdao was surprised: "why?"

Guan Fangyi: "don't think I'm blind. I didn't know that a guest came to the villa last night. When people came, you mentioned Gao Shaoming to meet. Gao Shaoming died early this morning. What a coincidence. Was it the person sent by Gao Fu last night?"

Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "how do you know that you spent 10 million on Gao Shaoming's life?"

Guan Fangyi: "It's easy to understand that Gao Shaoming has fallen into your hands. Once you stand up and testify against the imperial court, the Gao family will be finished! Once Gao Shaoming dies, there will be no such problem. Aside from family affection, it's worth spending 10 million to buy Gao Shaoming and keep the Gao family safe once he dies! If you don't agree, don't say 100 million, you can't even get the 10 million. Is that right ?”

Niu Youdao smiled. He didn't deny it or admit it. He asked, "what else do you want me to say?"

Guan Fangyi snorted and knew it was like this

Boundless Pavilion, Tianhu inn. When linghuqiu opened the window and looked out, he was stunned. He found that today's boundless Pavilion seemed a little lively. The frequency of people coming and going on the bridge outside was higher than normal.

He was about to ask the tea in the house to come and ask. There was a "Dong Dong" knock on the door outside the door. They turned their heads and saw Hongfu push the door in.

Before Linghu Qiu could speak, Hongfu went to the window and reported: "Sir, the danbang has been changed."

Linghu Qiu said loudly and looked out of the window, "the change of ordinary people should not be so quiet. Is there any change in the ranking of big people?"

Tea smell came to watch.

Hong Fu nodded and said, "yes, sir. Zong Yuan, who ranked seventh in the Dan list, was killed by Zhao XiongGe, who ranked ninth in the Dan list! Zhao XiongGe jumped to the seventh ranking, replaced Zong Yuan's position, and the tenth made up the ninth, and the eleventh entered the top ten. The ranking of three people in the top ten of the Dan list changed at the same time, so it caused quite a stir."

Linghuqiu was a little surprised, "Zhao XiongGe? He has not been involved in what right and wrong for many years. How can he fight Zongyuan?"

Hong Fu: "according to the reasons for ranking change mentioned in the Dan list..." said this.

Linghuqiu and tea looked at each other. The latter asked, "what are you doing if you want to talk and stop? There are no outsiders here. What can't you say?"

Hong Fu: "according to the statement on the Dan list, the Maolu villa in Qingshan County of Yan country was attacked by a large number of monks. Zongyuan was the attacking side and Zhao XiongGe was the defending side."

There was a moment of silence in the room. Linghu Qiu suddenly sighed, "how can Zongyuan and Zhao XiongGe come to the old three at the same time... Is the old three okay?"

Hongfu shook his head: "As for why Zong Yuan attacked Maolu villa, as usual, Dan Bang didn't explain it in detail. However, a news just came out also caused a lot of news. It may be worth pondering. The next day after the attack on Maolu villa, the leaders of Feihua Pavilion and Zhenling courtyard, who participated in the sneak attack, were caught alive and hung at the head of Qingshan county. At the same time, the Nanzhou army suddenly invaded Dingzhou launched an attack on the people and horses controlled by the imperial court. "

"I don't know if these two things are related, but there are rumors outside. The court of the state of Yan should be the mastermind behind the sneak attack on Maolu villa. The court of the state of Yan should have provoked the third master's revenge, otherwise the emperor of Shang couldn't drive Dachen mountain to do such a thing. If so, the third master should have nothing to do."
