Hearing that Ming Jin had withdrawn his troops, Tang Niu led his army back to the camp. Although he was a little unwilling to accept it, he still failed to break through the city today.

Of course, siegeing cities and land is not a matter of one or two days, especially in several major cities close to the imperial city. The height and strength of the city walls are far greater than that of other small cities, and it is possible even if it takes a few months.

No matter how powerful a one-on-one fight is, you can’t do anything about it, right?

When they returned from withdrawing their troops, they happened to see Ning Ze leaving Zhou Yuan. The two seemed to be very familiar.

Tang Niu frowned slightly, and Ning Ze turned around and the two of them met again. The latter smiled slightly, nodded at Tang Niu, and then rode a horse and slowly left.

Tang Niu was puzzled. He glanced at his younger brother holding the bamboo slips, first with his father to return to the camp to settle the army, and then went to the chief general's camp to discuss matters.

The prefects of the four counties also arrived with civil and military officials to summarize today's siege and study strategies for breaking the city.

When the meeting ended, everyone returned to the camp, leaving only Zhou Yu, Tang Niu, Zhou Yuan, and some confidant generals. Tang Niu finally turned to Zhou Yuan: "Yuan'er, I saw you having a good conversation with strangers just now, and it seemed that I had also collected a set of bamboo slips. What's going on?"

"Oh? This is the case!" Zhou Yu showed a surprised expression when he heard this. He didn't pay attention to his younger son and was completely focused on the battlefield.

Zhou Yuan admitted openly: "Yes brother! Ning Ze, the arsenal of Huajun of Jinzhou, today, talked to me a lot. That person was very interesting. When Mingjin withdrew his troops, he gave me a book of military books, saying that the generals should not rely solely on force, but also have to read military tactics."

"Oh? Where is the military book?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"In my account!"

“Which book is it?”

"Well...it seems to be a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War?" Zhou Yuan responded after thinking carefully.

"A copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War?" Zhou Yu looked confused, "I have never heard of this art of war. Can I take it to see it as my father?"

"Oh!" Zhou Yuan turned around immediately, returned to her tent and carried the bamboo slips that had just been placed over.

Zhou Yuan took the bamboo slips, opened them, widened her eyes because she couldn't understand a word: "This, is this military strategy?"

"What's wrong with my father?" Zhou Yuan asked curiously.

"Where did that person come from?" Zhou Yu put Sun Tzu's copy of the Art of War on the table and spread it out. "The text written in this volume is for my father to know! I'm afraid it's not a Dacheng text."

Tang Niu and Zhou Yuan approached and saw that the bamboo slips were densely packed with words, but there was no familiar one.

The father and son were confused and looked at each other.

"Hmph! I think it was the man who deliberately painted it, not words at all." Tang Niu said coldly.

"No!" Zhou Yu shook his head, "Although my father does not recognize these words, each word is square and orderly, as if it is a system of its own. It is impossible to make up randomly to this level. It must be foreign words that we have not yet learned!"

"But I can't understand!" Zhou Yuan looked confused, "What is Mr. Ning asking me to learn?"

"Yuan'er!" Tang Niu said in a deep voice, "You can stay away from this person in the future."

"Ah? What does this mean by brother? Mr. Ning is approachable and humorous, completely different from the people I usually see!" Zhou Yuan said.

"This person is very dangerous!" Tang Niu said seriously, "It's very dangerous! You'd better not interact with him anymore!"

"Dangerous?" Zhou Yuan stretched out her hand and grabbed her head, "Brother is you kidding? Mr. Ning is just a weak scholar. What's the danger?"

"Aniu, why do you say that?" Zhou Yu looked at his adopted son curiously, "It's rare to see you comment on others like this."

"I don't know why," Tang Niu looked at his father and then at his younger brother, "I just have a sense of intuition when I see him! This person is very dangerous, so it's best not to get involved with it!"

"Intuition?" Zhou Xu and Zhou Yuan were even more confused.

"Aniu, how can you use intuition to determine whether others are dangerous?" Zhou Yu said, "Maybe you just think too much!"

"Father!" Tang Niu said respectfully, "Do you remember that five years ago, Yuan'er and I met a wolf pack?"

"Remember! You almost died in the wolf's mouth in order to protect Yuan'er." Zhou Xu nodded, "Fortunately, he was born with divine power and successfully killed the wolf pack, including the wolf king, but he only breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was rescued by the miracle doctor Yang Zhan."

"Well! When I met the Wolf King, I had that look in my mind for the rest of my life." Tang Niu said in a deep voice, "Brutal, cunning, fatal, and chilling. Only when I met the Wolf King when I was young, I felt an inexplicable throbbing in my heart, and I never had such a situation again. But for the first time I met this person, the feeling I felt when I met the Wolf King that year. Today I met the Wolf King again, and it was still the same!"

"No way?" Zhou Yuan showed an incredible expression, "Brother, I was there at the time and saw the wolf king's eyes. But Mr. Ning's eyes were gentle, and he did not make me feel any danger. He did not look like the wolf king at all!"

"Anyway, my intuition is not wrong!" Tang Niu said, "Yuan'er, please stay away from him."

"This..." Zhou Yuan turned her head and looked at her father.

Zhou Yu looked at Tang Niu carefully, then looked down at Sun Tzu's copy of the Art of War, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "I want to see this person after hearing what you said..."

The words are divided into two ends.

Ning Ze just sat down when he saw Liang Kai coming in quickly, so he smiled and stood up and bowed: "Big Young Master!"

"Arsenal, I have something to ask you!" Liang Kai pulled him to the table and knelt face to face, "Why are you looking for Zhou Yuan today? And you have been with him almost all day! Do you want to change your lintel and surrender to Zhou Yu, the governor of Liangzhou?"

So direct? Ning Ze kept smiling and reached out to pour him a glass of water: "What are the jokes of the eldest son? Ling Zun is a life-saving grace to me. At this critical moment, how could the lower-ranking officials change to others?"

Hearing this, Liang Kai's expression improved slightly: "Then why did you look for Zhou Yuan and chat with him all day long. I think you are quite close!"

Ning Zexin said, I am planning to start a business in Huajun, and the foundation has been laid. Unless Zhou Hyo is now going to Jinzhou, I may still inspect him. It is impossible for him to go to Jinzhou at present. Do I want to give up all the foundations laid in Huajun and start over? What a joke?

But he smiled and replied: "The eldest son misunderstood! I just felt that Zhou Yuannian was the 13th lieutenant, and he was really powerful! Moreover, he had a righteous brother who was named the world's number one general by Emperor You, so he was naturally curious. So after chatting for a few casual words, he didn't know that he was interested in it. He forgot the time while chatting. But the official did not have the slightest idea of ​​turning to others. Please rest assured the eldest son!"

"Is that?" Liang Kai sighed, "Armorial Order, I know that my grandfather's prejudice against you made you unhappy. You have real skills, and all of us brothers know that. His grandfather is a stubborn personality, and then the case of the bandits in Pang Lishan made him feel embarrassed. But don't worry, my brothers will find my grandfather when he has time to untie him. You have the same interests as Zhou Yuan, and our brothers have been with you for a longer time, right?"

"What the eldest son said is very true!" Ning Ze smiled, "The officials are reluctant to leave the big mansion in Hua County and the hundreds of slaves."

Hearing this, Liang Kai smiled: "Don't worry! When you return to Hua County, you will definitely be promoted with your contributions and receive more rewards! The four of us brothers will definitely speak for you in front of our grandfather!"

"Thank you, the eldest son!"

"In our relationship, we don't need to be so formal in private!" Liang Kai said, "We are about the same age, just call me Brother Liang, and I also call you Brother Ning, how about it?"

If you have 60 points of intelligence, you can still think.

Ning Ze looked at him and smiled. Liang Kai wanted to win over himself and avoid defecting to others. However, Huajun had already been stolen and the Liang family had no foundation. No matter what he said, the situation changed completely after he went back.

Thinking of this, he replied, "Okay! If the eldest son doesn't dislike him, we will call each other brothers in private."

"Okay! Brother Ning, then..." Liang Kai was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard the soldiers outside shouting, "Armorial Order, someone was holding a bundle of bamboo slips and saying that he had something to do with you!"

"Bamboo Slips? Could it be Zhou Yuan?" Liang Kai stood up.

"Maybe?" Ning Ze was not surprised and shouted outside, "Please come in!"

"Wait!" Liang Kai hurriedly looked around, then quickly ran to the shower room set up in Ningze, pulled down the straw curtain and hid.

"What are you doing?" Ning Ze was speechless.

"Shh~" Liang Kai replied softly, "When I'm not here."

"..." Ning Ze was helpless and shook his head with a smile.

After a while, someone came in outside the battalion commander, and indeed he was holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

But the one who appeared in front of him was not Zhou Yuan, but his father, Zhou Xun, the governor of Liangzhou.

At this time, Zhou Hyun changed the golden chain mail, wore a linen cloth that was common to ordinary people, and a hat on his head to cover his face. The guards really didn't expect that this person would be the famous governor of Liangzhou.

Ning Ze was also shocked. According to his plan, Zhou Yuan should have come here, so why is this happening?

He quickly stood up to greet him, gave a tribute and said hurriedly: "Ningze greets the envoy Zhou!"

The envoy is a respectful title for the governor.

"Shh~" Zhou Yu made a low voice action, walked to Ning Ze with a smile, and said to him softly, "I came here secretly. If Taishou Liang knew that I was meeting his subordinates privately, I would be unhappy."

Do you know you are still here? By the way, Liang Kai is hiding behind me!

He lowered his voice: "The Xiaguan is just a poor scholar in Hua County. The arrival of the envoy Zhou really made me panic!"

"Oh? I can't see that you are afraid." Zhou Yu looked at Ning Ze carefully, then handed over Sun Tzu's copy of the Art of War, "Is this what you gave to my son Zhou Yuan in front of the battlefield today?"

"Yes!" Ning Ze bowed and replied.

"Why don't I know any of the words recorded above?"

"Oh?" Ning Ze took the copy of the military strategy and looked at it, thinking that I had deliberately given the Chinese version. He originally wanted Zhou Yuan to come over and continue to enhance his feelings and bonds. Who would have thought that you, the father, came instead of him? He bowed and said, "I'm sorry for taking the wrong hand. This is the foreign language that Xia Guan learned when he was a child. I'm sorry! Please wait for the envoy Zhou, and Xia Guan will get the original copy immediately!"
