Chapter 145 one after another.

Shen Zhong's face was grim. He put his hands behind his back and quietly put the sharp sword back into the scabbard. He carefully observed the young man in the robe in front of him, and saw that his smile was full of seriousness, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

A breeze blew by, causing gentle ripples among the forest trees, as if a vast green ocean was roaring past, creating waves.

He looked at Shangshan Hu, his tone was very normal, without any unnecessary fluctuations, and no longer had the murderous intent in his heart: "Is it true that you won't cause trouble in the future?"

Uesugi Tora put down the spear in his hand and looked at the corpses on the ground.

These are all the good guys I brought out of the camp!

On one side are the lives of his brothers, on the other side is the kindness of his adoptive father, and in between there is also a great master. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you can really do what you said, then my life will belong to you from now on!"

"No, no!" Li An corrected him, "Your life belongs to His Majesty."

"I was wrong! If my adoptive father's life can be saved, I will swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death!"

Shangshanhu didn't like fine wine and food, nor did he like power and wealth. He only wanted to be grateful and happy. Now that he had his answer and affirmation, the power of the Northern Qi Dynasty's military was taken back.

"In that case, does the commander have any questions?"

Shen Zhong stopped talking, turned around and wanted to leave.

He would return to the palace immediately to inquire about the matter in front of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and await the emperor's decision!

"Wait! The commander can't leave yet!"

Li An shouted angrily to stop Shen Zhong.

He turned around and shouted angrily, "What? Imperial Master, are you going to kill me here?"

Li An waved his hand calmly, but the words that came out of his mouth were as cold and hot as winter or summer, so icy and fiery!
"Please, Commander, pick out some of your trusted men, and kill the rest!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Those Jinyiwei who were still sitting on their horses became nervous, and some even drew out their swords, ready to fight to the death!
"So is General Uesugi!"

Li An turned and said to Uesugi Tiger.

However, as soon as Li An's words came out, Shangshan Hu interrupted and said, "If it is to keep a secret for my adoptive father, then these ten people behind me can be trusted!"

Uesugi Tora's words were not groundless.

After all, rescuing people this time is a matter of life and death, and these brothers came here with the awareness that they will die.

If they succeed, they will get no credit, but if they fail, they will sacrifice their lives to serve their general.

Therefore, since they are friends who have risked their lives for each other, it is worth it for Uesugi Tora to be a guarantor for them!

Seeing Li An nod in approval, Shang Shanhu turned his head and looked directly at Shen Zhong, saying: "Commander Shen, please make your move!"

If Shen Zhong's face was still gloomy just now, it was now as black as ink!

Shen Zhong hesitated for a moment and then raised his head, saying word by word: "These are all trusted people! They will not leak the news and ruin your majesty's plan!"

Ha ha!

Li An sneered.

Although what he did just now was mostly a test, he wanted to test Shen Zhong and get him to speak as a guarantor.

If things go wrong in the future, it will be this heavy responsibility.

But he knew that there was Chen Pingping's man among the Jinyiwei!

"It's OK if Lord Shen guarantees it." Li An paused for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, we should control them after we return and prevent them from contacting the outside world. Let's set the time limit to half a year. By then, the matter will be settled and there will be no need to worry about the news leaking out. As for the degree of control, I believe Lord Shen can grasp it well!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded, clasped his fists and saluted, then ignored everyone and led the team back to Shangjing City.

Now, Li An and Shen Zhong had a rift. It was clear that he was being used by Li An today. Xiao En saw that the crisis was over, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Father!"

Uesugi Tiger hurried forward and checked Sean's injuries.

Sean shook his head, said he was fine, then looked at Li Ang, waiting for him to finish.

"Mr. Xiao can leave with General Shangshan. But don't forget our agreement. I will wait for you in the palace tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned his hand over and pinched the sword fingers, and the five flying swords that were still inserted on the ground outside flew back into the sword box.

After Li An and Yan Xiaoyi left, Shang Shanhu helped Xiao En onto the extra horse and asked in a deep voice: "Foster father, I will return the military power to Your Majesty tomorrow. It's a pity that if you want to avenge the Black Cavalry and Chen Pingping for your foster father, it will be difficult without these military powers!"

"That may not be the case!" Sean was still marveling at the magic of Li An's sword control. In the past ten years, such a person has appeared in the world. He was really an anomaly! He then responded to Shang Shanhu gently, "My son, you must understand one thing. The military power must be handed over. Only in this way can His Majesty shut up those people in the court who hate you to death!"

He looked at Li An's receding back and continued, "But you are not loyal to His Majesty. You want to become the Imperial Master so that you can survive and have a future!"

"Why?" Uesugi Tora was surprised when he heard that. He stuck the barrel of his spear into the ground, jumped up, got on the horse Sean was on, and helped him stabilize his body.

"If my guess is correct, everyone in Northern Qi wants me dead, including Ku He!"

"That Ku He won't talk about our past friendship. If I am more harmful alive than dead, he will be the first one to kill me!"

"Besides my brother Zhuang Mohan, only Mr. Li will come forward to protect me! We must recognize the kindness of others, otherwise, there will be no way out!"

"Besides, since we are still useful to him, it is not impossible for him to make a comeback in the future."

Sean still couldn't let go of his hatred.

Back then, it was Chen Pingping who led the Black Cavalry, who kidnapped him after a thousand-mile raid, and also killed his son and daughter-in-law.

That incident was the greatest humiliation in Sean's life and also brought him indelible trauma.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and allowed him to find out that his grandson was still alive. If his inference was correct, then Fan Xian, the chief envoy of the Nanqing delegation, was his grandson.

Chen Pingping really has a vicious mind!
They actually want my grandfather and I to kill each other!

He did not tell this to his adopted son, but he could not suppress the hatred he felt.

"It seems that I won't be able to contact my grandson for a short time. I must live! Live like a weed with the most tenacious attitude!"

'Wait for me!'

'Chen Pingping!'

When Uesugi Tora saw the bodies of his dead comrades lying on the ground, he secretly swore in his heart: One day, he will take off the heavy heads and use them as a memorial to all the brothers!

Sean and Uesugi Tiger rode on the same horse and went to the military camp quietly.
Soon after they left, many city guards quietly appeared and began to deal with the chaotic battlefield.

Move heavy objects and bury bodies.
On the other side, unknown to the public, Fan Xian was blocked outside the city by the wolf peach mentioned by Li An, and accompanying him was the Northern Qi Saint Haitang Duoduo.

"You didn't tell me it would come so soon!"

Fan Xian felt bitter in his heart. If he had not received the news from Wang Qinian that Li An and Yan Xiaoyi had left the city more than an hour ago, he would not have quietly chased out of the city and been blocked by this man who looked so ferocious!

"He is Fan Xian?"

Lang Tao asked Haitang Duoduo, and after getting a positive answer, he stopped talking. Two fang-like short knives wrapped with chains appeared in his hands.

Without waiting for Fan Xian to explain anything, the two of them started fighting!
Although Fan Xian was averse to this kind of battle where the enemy was strong and he was weak, he was very focused and serious, not missing out on this valuable experience of fighting the enemy.

Although there is an obvious gap in strength, he has various small items to help him, so he can fight back and forth with Langtao.

But not long after, Fan Xian inevitably fell into a disadvantage!
Haitang Duoduo, who was on the side, suddenly had an idea and pretended to shout, "Brother, I'll help you!" Then he flew into the attack and defense of the two. His move seemed ruthless, but in fact, it also included Langtao, as if he didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

This put Lang Tao in a difficult position.
