The cavalry team under the moonlight was like a stone sculpture, and no longer moved half a step here. The mobilized wolf cavalry had already formed a formation, facing each other.

After a while, I saw a carriage slowly coming out of the cavalry formation on the opposite side. During the two formations, seven or eight black-clothed swordsmen quickly moved down a boxy table from the carriage. , Placed in the middle, and took four futons and placed them around the table.

Soon there was wine and food on the table, and someone placed a lamppost a few steps to the left and right of the table, lit the lamp, and the table side was instantly lit up.

Qin Xiao could see clearly in the crowd, just like everyone else, the more he looked, the more suspicious.

The cavalry on the opposite side even set up a banquet in the two armies, this scene is really strange.

When everything was ready, the black-clothed swordsmen flocked to the carriage and left. After a short while, one person slowly walked out of the opposing army, without a guard by his side, and went straight to the wine table, in the south. Stopped on the seat.

"It's Changren Hou Fan Ziqi." Yuwen Chengchao whispered in the ear of Mr. Yuwen.

The old man nodded slightly and looked at Chang Renhou with deep eyes.

The family elders who originally gathered in the big tent of the old man Yuwen naturally heard the movement outside. They all came out of the tent, and came closer here to see what happened. They saw the wine table. Naturally, they were surprised. Some people had already recognized Chang Ren Hou Fan Ziqi standing at the wine table, and they felt a little bit confused.

"Father, let me ask him what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd." When Yu Wencheng saw that Fan Ziqi was already sitting at the wine table, he frowned, and wanted to step forward, but he was caught by the hand of the old master.

Old Master Hou smiled faintly: "He did not set a banquet to invite you. Chengchao, without my instructions, even if his knife rests on my neck, you can't act rashly." Looking back at Yuan Shangyu. , Shen said: "Shang Yu, you are the leader of the tiger ride. Remember the old man's instructions. If you don't have my instructions, if anyone makes an unauthorized move, you will immediately kill him. Even if it is Chengchao, you can still kill him."

Yuan Shangyu and Yuwen Chengchao were both startled, and glanced at each other. Old Master Hou let out a cold voice, staring at Yuan Shangyu like a blade, and Yuan Shangyu immediately bowed and said: "Finally, I will follow Master Hou's instructions."

Old Houye turned around and walked slowly over to the wine table.

Yuwen Chengchao knew that things were strange. The Fan family had been late, and in previous years they had only brought one or two hundred cavalry to protect their safety. Very strange.

But although he was suspicious, his heart was calm.

Although Fan Qi came out all the way, Yuwen Chengchao knew that Fan Qi’s troops were equivalent to Tiger Horse, and as we all know, Fan Qi’s training has never been as good as Tiger Horse’s, and even Zhen’s Wolf Horse’s combat effectiveness is higher than Fan Qi’s. , If you really want to start, Yuwen family will certainly not be afraid of Fan family.

Fan Qi did not act rashly, and Tiger Qi certainly did not have to act rashly.

Old Houye walked slowly to the side of the wine table. Changren Hou Fan Ziqi had already stood up. He was two or three years younger than Yuwen Old Houye, but his complexion was better and he looked a lot younger. He was slender and had a face. Smiling, bowed his hand to Old Master Yuwen,

Then he pointed to the seat opposite to him and said, "Brother Yuwen, please sit down!"

Old Master Yuwen was not polite, and sat down opposite him, then looked around, saw two futons empty, and asked, "Who else is coming?"

"No hurry!" Fan Ziqi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lord Houhou first: "Brother, I rarely drink in these years. Since there is a banquet tonight, I have to accompany my brother to drink more. But there is still The two guests did not fight. Let’s drink tea first and keep healthy. We are all at this age. If we want to live a few more years, we must protect our bodies. This tea is a good tea, which clears the lungs and intestines. Drinking tea is good for your body."

Old Master Yuwen picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "It is said that the older you are, the more you are afraid of death. It seems that you are really so."

"Brother, how many people in this world are not afraid of death?" Fan Ziqi sighed, took a sip from his teacup, then put down the teacup and said: "I am afraid of death, not because of me, but because I am worried about my death, Fan The home will also be destroyed."

Old Master Yuwen said "Oh", glanced at the cavalry behind Fan Ziqi, and asked: "You seem to have brought all the cavalry under your command."

"It's not that I want to bring it, but it's the order to do it." Fan Ziqi smiled and said, "Brother knows that although the Fan family is also one of the three great families in Xiling, compared with the two of you, the land is scarce and the people are poor. The Fan family has always looked at the winks of your two families. Even if you raise a strange soldier, they dare not compete with the two in terms of equipment. The training will be nothing more than usual."

Old Master Yuwen said: "You seem to be a little bit angry."

"Brother misunderstood, I have no grievances." Fan Ziqi said with a serious face: "On the contrary, I have no grievances. Instead, I want to thank the two elders for their care over the years. Of the three of us, the Fan family is the weakest and most inconspicuous, no matter how unremarkable it is. Before the change of Tuo, or after that, the Fan family obeyed the decisions of the two elder brothers, and the Fan family is willing to remain the shadow of your family." Duan Cup took another sip of tea, and said: "Say brother, no If you are willing to listen, if something happens, the two elder brothers are also the principal offenders, and our Fan family are only accomplices."

Old Master Yuwen, of course, had long noticed that Fan’s actions were very weird this time. At this moment, what Fan Ziqi said was even more meaningful, but he still smiled faintly and said: "You are late. If you come one day earlier, I There is really something to discuss with you."

"Brother is saying to join forces to destroy the Zhen family?" Fan Ziqi smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I still have some complaints against my brother. For such a big matter, my brother didn't tell the Fan family a little bit, so he directly took the matter. I’m done, brother, with all due respect, do you just believe in the Fan family, or do you want to do the best?

Old Master Yuwen smiled and said: "The Zhen family colluded with the Utuo people and treasoned to the enemy. Naturally, the Yuwen family would not sit idly by and devise a strategy to wipe out the Zhen family. This matter is of great importance and I dare not disclose it in advance, so I I said that you arrived one day earlier. I will discuss this with you. With the strength of your two families, you can easily kill the thief."

"You don't need the Fan family. The Yuwen family did this thing cleanly." Fan Ziqi sighed: "The Yuwen family has done a good job in eradicating thieves, which is gratifying."

"I have already written a zhezi, and I am co-authoring the letter with the major families in Xiling." Old Master Yuwen said: "Although you are a little late, it is good to be zhezi.

The son has not sent someone to send it, you can still co-name with me. Of course, you will be included in the credit for this time."

Fan Ziqi smiled and said: "The Fan family is loyal to the court and naturally wants to take the credit of the thief, but such credit can only be made by itself, and it is really impossible to take credit from others." After a pause, he stared at Lao Hou. The master asked: "Brother, the Zhen family father and son have naturally been given the first?"

"The two heads have already been put in the box. After the joint names tonight, 800 li will be dispatched to expeditiously send the two heads to Kyoto together with the papers from the major families of Xiling." Old Master Yuwen said solemnly: " There are witnesses from the major families in Xiling, as well as physical evidence in hand, plus the first level of the Zhen family. After seeing the sage, he will be clear about his loyalty to the Xiling family." At this point, he raised his teacup. , And took a sip.

The two masters were chatting and laughing at the wine table. Although the men on both sides could see clearly, it was hard to hear what the two said.

Qin Xiao saw the two talking while drinking tea. If it weren't for the soldiers and horses behind them, everyone would think it was just two old brothers drinking tea to reminisce about the past.

But he knew very well in his heart that things would never be easy if the Fan family had set up a battle.

Maybe something bigger will happen soon.

He wondered, since the Zhen family only brought two hundred cavalry as escorts, why did the Fan family's cavalry seem to come out in full force?

Could it be that the Fan family has long known that there will be changes in the mountain worship ceremony, so bring more soldiers and horses in case?

However, few people knew about the action tonight. Yuwen Chengchao’s confidant Fat Yu and others knew nothing about it before. Even Su Chao, the deputy commander of Baihuying, was only two hours before the action. Knowing that the whole plan can be said to be airtight.

How could the Fan family have known it a long time ago, and prepared it early?

Moreover, the goal of Yuwen's plan this time is the Zhen family, not to deal with the Fan family. Why is the Fan family facing such an enemy?Does the Fan family think that the Yuwen family will take advantage of the situation to solve the Fan family?

The Yuwen family wanted to eradicate the Zhen family because they held a secret letter from the Zhen family colluding with the Wutuo people. The evidence was in hand and the court was investigated and there was evidence to deal with, but the Fan family didn’t have any control over me. After all, it was a matter of swordsmen, and there was no premeditating against the Fan family in the prior plan. Of course, such things could not be intentional.

The two old men sat across from each other, their expressions all looking relaxed.

"Brother, you said that you got the evidence of the Zhen family's rebellion. I don't know what kind of evidence it was?" Fan Ziqi asked with a smile, "I wonder if I can take a look?"

Old Master Yuwen shook his head and said: "The evidence of the crime is not in my hands for the time being. If you want to see it, you can return to the account with me. Most of the clan elders have already seen it, and I am sure it is the evidence of the crime.

Fan Ziqi asked again: "Then the elder brother can report to the court in advance after he has obtained the evidence and plans to suppress the thief? Or, did he ventilate to General Heiyu who is in the Jiebei Prefecture? You should know that Xiling is still owned by Datang. Territory, we are still the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. You are a Marquis, and Marquis Changxin is also a Marquis. You used soldiers to suppress thieves and were loyal to the court. I can understand naturally, but without the permission of the court, you designed to kill Chang Father and son Xinhou, will the court think that your Yuwen family is brave and have ulterior motives?"
