Chapter 462 Xiliang? (one more)
Eldest son?
Han Youning asked, "Is the eldest son Duan Yi's elder brother?"

The man in gray said softly, "You don't need to inquire, you will know everything when you arrive."

Han Youning has always only guessed that Duan Yi's father and brother escaped from birth, and then found him and asked him to be an undercover agent.The power of this kind of aristocratic family is all over the world, as long as there is a master in the family, it will be revived at any time.

It's almost certain now.

According to Duan Yi, his mother is just an unfavored concubine. Presumably, although he is recognized, he can only struggle to survive under the oppression of his first brother.

Han Youning said, "Eldest son is your young master, and Duan Yi is also your young master. If you treat Duan Yi with such disrespect, how do you know that he will never be successful? You are a smart person, so you never thought of leaving a note for yourself. Back way?"

The gray-clothed man was silent for a moment outside, and Fang sneered, "It's not that easy to become a success. You come to speak for him when you can't protect yourself, do you think you are safe and sound?"

His answer in this way is equivalent to acquiescing that the eldest son is Duan Yi's elder brother.

Han Youning said softly, "Although I don't know who your master is, but now we are in Taozhou, you are still heading west, and further west are desolate mountains. I am afraid of the incompetent rats who hide in the mountains ?”

"presumptuous!"

The man in gray shouted angrily, "Don't think I dare not touch you!"

Han Youning sneered nonchalantly, "What a big tone, there are not many people who dare to say this word to me in the land of Dazhou. Your master is the sky in your eyes, but nothing in my eyes."

The man in gray clenched his hands and said, almost gnashing his teeth, "Even the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is nothing in the eyes of the master! If you want to live in peace, you'd better lower your figure!"

Han Youning was startled, "Emperor Da Zhou, with such a title, their master is still planning to restore the country?"
If it is just an ordinary nobleman, even if he has a prestige that is well-received by everyone, his name will not be justified if he wants to restore the country, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve it.

Could it be that Duan Yi was born in the royal family of Southern Chu?

Duan Yi came back with a few peaches in his hand, and he handed one to Han Youning, "It has been washed with mountain spring water, the princess should try it."

Han Youning took a few mouthfuls, and it was really sweet and crisp in the mouth. She praised, "It's delicious. Did you often eat it when you were young?"

Duan Yi was also eating peaches, nodded and said, "Peaches in Taozhou are the most affordable, and my mother often buys them for humble officials."

The gray-clothed man outside said coolly, "Young master's address is wrong again. You can stay back, and you can't make this slip of the tongue again."

Duan Yi's face turned cold, and he seemed to want to say something, but finally swallowed it back, eating the peach in silence.

Han Youning looked at Duan Yi swallowing his anger, but he didn't know why he was so aggrieved.Is it for the family enmity in the flesh and blood?

There was a whip whip outside, and the carriage picked up speed.

They changed carriages several times along the way, and the clothes and identities of the men in gray were constantly changing, and they had great experience in covering their tracks.

The Buddhist beads and pearls that Han Youning quietly threw on the road were picked up one by one by the man in gray.

They didn't go into the mountains, but went north along the mountains and left the customs in Langzhou.Both Han Youning and Duan Yi were knocked out when they left the customs, and when they woke up, they saw the vast grassland.

They have already arrived in Xiliang territory.

Han Youning looked at the endless grass outside in surprise, and was momentarily confused.

Why go to Xiliang?If their Southern Chu royal family wants to restore their country, shouldn't they be in the land of Southern Chu?

Duan Yi remained silent, but his expression was much more solemn than before.

He wants to be loyal to his motherland, but also wants to be loyal to her. After all, it must be a dilemma.
-
Zhao Chengyuan rushed from the border town to the vicinity of Geduo, quietly entered the camp of the ghost-faced general, and then calmly entered the tallest general's camp.

The ghost-faced general in military uniform inside instantly came to Zhao Chengyuan's side and attacked.

Zhao Chengyuan made a move to block, the other party saw his face clearly at the same time, stopped his hands and saluted, "See you, my lord!"

Zhao Chengyuan walked to the chief seat and sat down, "The Xiliang army only stationed outside the city, and did not attack for many days, why?"

The Xiliang army did not launch a large-scale general offensive before they attacked the city of Geduo, but only stationed outside the city, with their backs in Liuze Prefecture, blocking the westward advance of the Northwest Army.The battle situation in the northwest has entered a stalemate in the past few days.

Huo Shan tore off the mask on his face and poured tea for Zhao Chengyuan, "Now the Southwest Army has [-] troops in Gedo, the Prince has [-] troops, and the Xiliang Army has [-] soldiers and horses transferred from Border Town and Cizhou. Ten thousand. The strength of the two sides is equal, once the war starts, it will be a battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Xiaozhi believes that if such a heart-wrenching war is defeated, even if the country is not destroyed, it will often drag down the country's strength for several years and it will be difficult to recover, thus giving other neighboring countries the opportunity to take advantage of it.So Xiliang should be planning, waiting for a good opportunity to strike. "

Although their [-] soldiers and horses are not in the city now, in the eyes of the Xiliang Army, they are counted as the strength of the Southwest Army.

Zhao Chengyuan nodded, "Geduo is no better than the border towns. The Xiliang Army has a local advantage, and the supply of food and grass is much more convenient. On the contrary, the Southwest Army only relies on Geduo City, and the food and grass will always be unable to keep up. Therefore, they cannot be used up."

Huo Shan bowed his head and stood respectfully, "The humble official has sent people to investigate the terrain. After making a sand table, we will formulate a strategy with Duke Ding."

Zhao Chengyuan drank tea and asked, "Does the prince know your identity?"

Before in the capital, Han Sixing often went to look for Huo Shan, and he admired him very much. Huo Shan seemed to admire this young man quite a lot.

Huo Shan smiled and said, "The humble position did not reveal it. However, the prince counted the generals who could lead the army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and mentioned the name of the humble position. But... the prince did not doubt you, the prince, saying that you are accompanying his sister in Xiangping .”

Mentioning You Ning, Zhao Chengyuan frowned slightly, the husband and wife had been separated for four months, longer than he expected.Now that the prodigal son of Su Bai has recovered his legs and feet, it is very inconvenient for You Ning to get along with him day and night, so it is not a long-term solution.

Ye Chang is also incompetent, he only knows how to write down small notebooks to complain, but he doesn't know how to try to break Su Bai's leg again?
There is also that Hu Mu, who was also a man of courtesy before he was cured.Now that people are sober, shouldn't they know how to avoid suspicion with Youning? Why do they still accompany Youning to the top of the mountain every day?

There is also Duan Yi, who suddenly revealed his identity and left, clearly coveting You Ning, so Fang reined in and left You Ning.Before, he felt that this person was too caring for You Ning, and he was afraid that the young man's heart had sprouted, and now it really came true.

Seeing the prince's face getting more and more gloomy, Huo Shan didn't know why, so he thought it was the prince who was worried about his identity being leaked.After all, the ghost-faced generals have appeared too many times recently, and there are so many soldiers and horses. If the emperor calculates carefully, he will be aware of their existence.

Lu Bing could no longer cover for them.

Huo Shan comforted, "Don't worry, my lord, this battle will have to last for a few more months. It's still too early for the emperor to settle the score after autumn, which is enough for you to plan to get out."

How many more months?
Zhao Chengyuan frowned even tighter.
