Yuan Junzhang walked around his mansion again with some worry and took stock of his preparations again.

Don’t worry too much about what you eat and drink. After all, now that Ma Yi’s troops are approaching the city and the battle is fierce, there is no time for such detailed preparations. I believe Gao Manzheng will not be picky about this.

Of course, if all goes well with his plan, he won't have to worry about this guy picking on him anymore.

Those carefully selected soldiers were fully armed and ambushed in the corridors on both sides of the hall. They only waited for them to break the cup as a signal before rushing in. The tall and strong Buddhist guardian Vajra sent by Master Sengyan also changed his clothes.

Iron armor, stay by your side...

Everything is ready!

However, Yuan Junzhang still felt a little uneasy.

If it weren't for the fact that we were in a hurry, we should actually prepare some "encouraging" drugs and put them in the wine, then everything would be foolproof.

How about delaying the action by yourself for another day?

Just when Yuan Junzhang was making repeated calculations and worrying about gains and losses, a young man wearing armor suddenly appeared at the door of the lobby. He was smiling, holding fists in his hands, and bowing to Yuan Junzhang.

"My dear, meet Aye!"

"Oh, it's Xiaozheng!"

Yuan Junzhang looked up at his son in confusion and asked impatiently.

"If you are not in the army, what are you doing here? Why don't you go back quickly..."

"Aye!"

Yuan Xiaozheng did not notice the impatience on his father's face and still said excitedly.

"I heard that you, Aye, have decided to return to the Tang Dynasty with Uncle Gao. Is this the case?"

After hearing his son's words, Yuan Junzhang felt a little confused for a moment.

"How did you know about this?"

"How do you know, kid?"

Yuan Xiaozheng replied with a blank look on his face.

"It's spreading in the army now. Many brothers know about it. Everyone finds out that they don't have to fight with the Tang army and they are very happy..."

"What?"

Yuan Junzhang was stunned!

The brothers are very happy because they no longer have to fight with the Tang army...

But the problem is that when the brothers are happy, he himself is not happy?

Gao Manzheng went too far. He just asked him to go back and ask his soldiers for their opinions, but he actually released the news directly.

Is this an attempt to force a woman to have a baby?

Yuan Junzhang sighed silently.

Fortunately, I had some backup in the morning and asked Guo Ziwei to spread the news in advance, saying that after everyone returns to the Tang Dynasty, they will be used as cannon fodder on the front line. I hope this very deterrent news can dissuade those who want to return to the Tang Dynasty.

What are your thoughts, brothers?

But since the news released by Gao Manzheng has spread so widely, then the news about Guo Ziwei should also have spread, right?

"Xiao Zheng..."

Yuan Junzhang looked at his son and asked tentatively.

"Did you hear anything else? For example, after a certain person returns to Tang Dynasty, he will be driven by the Tang army as a vanguard to fight against the Turks and destroy us with the help of the Turks?"

"this……"

After Yuan Xiaozheng thought about it seriously, he shook his head.

"I don't think I've heard of it."

Yuan Junzhang took a deep breath, pressed his temples with his hands, and felt the veins on his forehead twitching.

Miscalculated!

Both sides miscalculated...

He had no idea that Gao Manzheng would move so quickly. In just half a day, the news that he was going to return to the Tang Dynasty would spread. He also had no idea that Guo Ziwei, a fool, would spread false news and that it would take only half a day to come to nothing.

"Guo Ziwei made me miss a big deal. These scholars are really a bunch of trash!"

"Aye!"

Yuan Xiaozheng looked at his Aye pressing his temples with his hands and scolding Guo Ziwei with a ferocious expression. He suddenly felt that the two-foot-old monk was confused.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine..."

Yuan Junzhang waved his hand at his son angrily.

"Go back to the camp quickly. If you leave your post without permission next time, I will be engaged in military law!"

"Yes, kid, please leave!"

Although Yuan Xiaozheng's purpose of coming here was to ask himself whether Aye was going to return to the Tang Dynasty, he still didn't know it, but after looking at his livid face, he still wisely exited the lobby.

As a result, before Yuan Xiaozheng walked out of the gate of the mansion, he saw two brothers, Gao Manzheng and several soldiers coming in from the outside. In their team was a handsome Taoist priest dressed in white.

After seeing his gaze, the Taoist priest nodded towards him very friendly.

"Two uncles..."

Although he was a little surprised by the appearance of the Taoist priest in white, Yuan Xiaozheng still raised his hands and saluted brother Gao Manzheng first.

"My nephew is so polite!"

"Oh, he is Xiaozheng's virtuous nephew. Return a favor and return a favor..."

Gao Manzheng returned the gift with his hand, and then asked casually.

"Is Daxingtai in the lobby?"

"exist!"

Yuan Xiaozheng turned around and pointed with his hands.

"Uncle please..."

"good!"

Gao Manzheng smiled boldly and walked past Yuan Xiaozheng. His younger brother Gao Manzhi also followed Gao Manzheng and passed by Yuan Xiaozheng. Then when the Taoist priest in white passed by, he actually smiled at Yuan Xiaozheng.

, stopped.

"Mr. Yuan, if Pindao's prediction is correct, you should be here for Daxingtai's return to the Tang Dynasty, right?"

Yuan Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Exactly, I dare to ask the chief..."

Kong Qing, a Taoist priest in white, saluted Yuan Xiaozheng and said calmly.

"Pindao, whose name is Qingwei, is here on behalf of Princess Pingyang."

"What?"

After hearing what Kong Qing said, Yuan Xiaozheng's face suddenly showed a very interested look.

"Taoist Master, you are the envoy of Princess Pingyang, which means that I, Aye, do intend to return to the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"This poor Taoist doesn't know..."

Kong Qing waved the whisk in his hand and said to Yuan Xiaozheng with a smile.

"Dahangtai invited General Gao to come today to discuss this matter. How about Mr. Lang coming to listen?"

"this……"

Yuan Xiaozheng became hesitant and hesitantly said.

"it's not good?"

Kong Qing waved his white palms, with a strange smile on his lips, and said decisively.

"No problem!"

"..."

"Brother Gao Xian, please come in quickly, please come in..."

Just when Yuan Junzhang came out of the hall with a smile on his face, he saw his son Yuan Xiaozheng at a glance, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Why did you come with me? Didn't I ask you to go back to the camp?"

After hearing Yuan Junzhang's words, Yuan Xiaozheng's body suddenly trembled, and then Gao Manzheng on the side immediately stood up and began to smooth things over.

"Oh, Daxingtai, why are you so harsh on your nephew? You just asked your nephew to help someone lead the way. Besides, your nephew is not an outsider, so Dahangtai doesn't have to worry about things leaking out from your nephew."

Yuan Junzhang felt his forehead jump.
