In fact, there is more than this question, it’s just that most people don’t think deeply about it.

It was not until everyone dispersed and Qi Desheng, who stayed in the end, whispered in a low voice: "Maintain, I always feel that this matter is still strange. General Lin was able to receive such warning notes from Zengtou City. This matter looked abnormal. Could this be a trap of conspiracy?"

Sun Tu glanced at him and nodded: "I have thought about your concerns. This matter is indeed unreasonable. Logically speaking, Zengtou City should be a solid piece of solid matter, and this matter is extremely fatal. It is impossible for anyone to know why someone would inform him, and who would the whistleblower be..."

"That's right, so Bei Zhi always feels a little uneasy. Could this be a trap that leads us to Lingzhou?" Qi Desheng said solemnly.

"This is indeed very likely, but such matters are of great importance. We would rather believe that it is not trusted. Otherwise, the price would be too high. However, we were not completely wary and rushed over. Sending people from the scout camp to investigate is the intention. If I really can't find anything unusual, I wouldn't take the risk of my soldiers." Sun Tu had actually had plans for a long time, so he seemed confident.

Qi Desheng Ben was also worried that he underestimated the enemy and fell into other people's plans. Seeing that Sun Tu had already considered it, he stopped talking and said, "Since that's the case, then you can feel at ease with humble ranks. The only thing that is hard to understand is, if the matter is true, why would Zengtoushi collude with foreign tribes? Will it really be the Jurchen Jinman?"

"This, you can only have an answer after the incident." Sun Tu frowned and stood up to the topographic map of the city of Shandong behind him. His eyes were only around Lingzhou, guessing where those guys would set their target.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

The answer to some things can only be understood by the parties themselves, and even the people they are closest to may not know.

Lingzhou, Zengtou City.

Although Zengtou City is only a small town, its scope is more than twice as large as ordinary towns. Moreover, the town has high walls standing beside it, and even a moat that is many meters wide is dug up to circle the city. In a sense, Zengtou City is a small city independent of Lingzhou.

If Zeng Nong hadn't had close contacts with local officials and even had a family with the prefect Weng Changqing, the government would have never tolerated such a small city here. Of course, this was also related to Zengtou City's own strength. There were already 500 young soldiers here. In addition, Zeng Nong's five sons were all brave and fierce, and two major instructors, Shi Wengong and Su Ding, were in charge. Even if the local official army attacked with all its strength, they would have to return in a defeat.

It can be said that Zengtou City is an extremely special force in Lingzhou, and can almost compete with the government. Therefore, they can achieve both black and white. Not only do they often send people out to do some uninvestable business of robbery and murder, they also buy land and houses in Lingzhou and nearby prefectures, and truly make money every day.

In the eyes of ordinary people, such a powerful man should indulge in his daily life and have nothing to worry about. But the fact is definitely not the case. At least during these days, Zeng Ran, as the head of the family, was in a very bad mood, especially when he was with his third son Zeng Suo and his fifth son Zeng Sheng, his face was even more gloomy.

At this time, he lived in the same room with these two sons, and the two sons looked less respectful when facing their father. Although they were not loud, they could not hide their anger: "Father, my son really can't understand why we do such things! Once things are exposed, they can leave, but what about our Zeng family? Such a huge family can't leave as long as you want. Are you trying to put my Zeng family and the family into an abyss that will never be restored?"

"Rareless, is this what you should say as a Son of Man and as a father?" Seeing that Zeng Sheng became less and less sarcastic, Zeng made his face dark as the bottom of a pot, and immediately scolded him: "I am the head of the family and the head of a clan. Since I have made a decision, I have my own reasons!"

Seeing that my brother and father stared at each other with big eyes, Zeng Suo, who had always been steady and strategic, persuaded him: "Fifth brother, what are you like? How can you be so disrespectful to your father? My father is the head of my family. Since I have made a decision, there must be his reason. Why don't you apologize to my father quickly!"

Zeng Sheng was the most obedient to his third brother, but he was obedient to his words. When he saw him speak, he could only bow his head and admit his mistakes. After he apologized, Zeng Suocai said again: "Father, in fact, the fifth brother is so random because of his concern for the entire Zeng family. You keep hiding this from us will only make your sons even more uneasy. What are your difficulties? Can't you tell your sons? I believe that with the strength of my Zeng family in the local area, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. How can you be controlled by those people?"

After being stared at by his two sons, Zeng Rang's face was a little confused again, but after a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't tell you about this matter for the time being. You just need to do what you said before. As long as your hands and feet are clean enough this time, there will be no consequences."

"But..." Zeng Suo still waited for further advice. This fact is too great. This time, he was not robbing some property outside like before. Even if the government found something, they could have a way to settle it. This time, he was in touch with foreign tribes and helped them seize a city in the state capital! This is equivalent to a rebellion. If it is not good, the end of the situation is that the Zeng family has taken the lead!

In fact, Zeng Suo is now tired of the inexpensive businesses he does. He has advised his father to wash his hands as soon as possible and be a legitimate businessman in the future. However, the other brothers did not agree, so he gave up. But he didn't expect that his father would become more and more serious this time and would do such a thing that is likely to destroy the family and the clan.

But before he could persuade him, the closed study door was suddenly pushed open with force, and a big man walked in as if no one was around.

Seeing that this strong man with a thin whip in his head was not much different from everyone's clothes, Zeng Suo frowned and immediately shouted: "Although you, the Jurchens, are not ethical, you should know to ask before entering the door and knock on the door?"

Zeng Sheng even glared at the other party, clenched his fists with both hands, and looked like he could pounce on him at any time.

The other party just grinned, glanced at Zeng Nong with a nervous look, and said hoarsely, "I think you, father and son, are hiding in this room and saying something. It turns out that I want to change our minds behind our backs. Zeng Nong, are you trying to repent?"

Only his glance made the Lord of Zengtou City, who had always been feared by the local people, pale in his face, and he waved his hand in a hurry: "No, Huamo, don't be suspicious. Since I promised you, there is no possibility of remorse."

"Hey, I'm sorry you don't dare." The Jurchen, who was called Huamo, glanced at the two brothers again. Seeing that they were still staring at him with resentment, he shook his head and said, "But I have done it, you are still too delayed in doing things. Haven't I told you to not hide it from your sons? For such a big thing, you must let them know why they are fighting before they can do their best."

Just as he was about to say something, the other party raised his hand domineeringly to stop him from talking. Then he looked at the two brothers who could run wild at any time and said, "Aren't you just wondering why your father is willing to use it for us? Since he refuses to say it, let me tell you, because he is my Jurchen tribe, and everything you have now is given by our tribe members!"

"What?"

"This is impossible!"

Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng heard this and then shouted with great excitement. Although they wanted the answer, they still couldn't accept such a ridiculous explanation! Since they became sensible, they only knew that they were from Lingzhou Prefecture, the Song Dynasty, so why did they suddenly become Jurchens?

But when they looked at their father, they found that Zeng Lan's face changed several times, but there was no intention of denying it at all. It was obviously acknowledging this statement.

Hua Mo smiled and said, "I once thought that it would be not a good thing to hide this matter for too long and too strict. I have reminded you before that your sons will be useful in the future. You should let them know who they are and why they will fight, but you have been dragging it all the time. Now you know the consequences, right?"

After a pause, he looked at Zeng Su and the others again: "You don't think about it. How could your father quickly gain a foothold here when he first came to Lingzhou decades ago? Isn't it because our tribe members secretly helped him eliminate the enemy and even helped him kill many local officials, which made others scared and shocked, so he acquiesced to him to build a city here, and that's why you have your Zengtou City! So after all, you have today, and it's all our gifts. Today is just for you to put in some small efforts. You dare to refuse. Do you really think that our tribe members dare not attack you?" At the end of the conversation, a murderous intent was already pouring out.

Although Zeng Suo and the others were not afraid, they became panicked and hurriedly bowed: "Hua Mo, please don't have the same knowledge as them. Since I have agreed to this matter, I have no reason to go back on my word. They had this idea before but they didn't know the inside story. Now they all know, they will definitely work with you sincerely to win the city as soon as possible."

Seeing that he said this, Hua Mo put away the intimidating aura on his body and nodded, "That's good. But we can't wait too long. We will enter the city within half a month, so you have to get everything done."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Zeng nodded vigorously, without any sign of the local hero. It was not until the man left satisfied that he let out a long sigh and sat back with relief. Then he realized that his two sons were still staring at him at this time...

Until now, I can't believe that this is true. The basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, who has brought us countless excitement and joy, has just retired for a few years and is about to enter the Hall of Fame this year...

As a passerby who has been a Kobe fan for more than ten years, he is still in a daze until now. He always feels that this is an absurd dream. He originally planned to stop the update today...

But when I think of his Mamba spirit, and when he practices hard for many years, he has the later five championships and is honored. The only thing I can do as his fans is to pay tribute and study...

To be honest, in the past two years, I have seen too many familiar and strange people leave, and the impact of King Jin's death was similar to today. But after all, he was enough to be old, but Kobe has just begun the next chapter of his life.
Chapter completed!
