Xiao Huang's eyes are very eager! After all, there is a saying in the idiom, love the house and the crow, and the master of the Yunmen is not the "crow", but another fairy-like Yuyu Pavilion next to the "house".
Yun Yifeng's back was numb from his stare, so he had to share half of the chicken soup and sit opposite this person to eat. During the period, we chatted a few more words about the battle of the kudzu tribe in the northwest, but Huang Qing's eyes immediately lit up and said: "The prince led the army to raid Luqiu back then, and it was also a surprise soldier from heaven, who caught the opponent by surprise!"
Yun Yifeng: "..."
Where is Deer Hill
The master of Yunmen calmly opened the folding fan, and ordered, come and listen.
Once the chatterbox is opened, it is very difficult to close it. Xiao Huang held back all the way, and it was rare to find an opportunity, so he was eloquent and beaming! And he acquiesced that what he knew, the Master of the Cloud Gate must also know, so he often omitted some plots that he thought "need not to elaborate", which caused Yun Yifeng to hear quite confused, and he couldn't understand why His Royal Highness Xiao Wang didn't understand the last moment. He was still deeply trapped in the enemy's camp, but when he changed the subject, he appeared in the royal city again, but he couldn't ask questions, so he had to continue to sit calmly, letting the wind blow the hem of his snow-white clothes, mainly relying on immortal energy to win.
An hour later, His Royal Highness Xiao Wang came after hearing the news and drove Xiao Huang back to the barracks.
Yun Yifeng said: "It turns out that the prince once killed hundreds of people in the enemy camp alone."
Ji Yanran replied: "It happened five or six years ago."
Master Yunmen's mood became more and more complicated, because if the other party replied "it's made up in the scriptures", it seems that he can find an excuse, but now it seems that this is really the case, and he has nothing to do with such a brave record You know, not even Xiao Huang
Ji Yanran held his hand in his palm, and said with a smile: "If you're not happy, then let me tell you something that Huang Qing doesn't know?"
Yun Yifeng was really interested: "What?"
Ji Yanran whispered a few words in his ear.
The master of Yunmen's expression froze, and he raised his foot just as he was about to kick someone, but he was dragged by the waist instead, and he flew through the air and landed firmly on the second floor. The sore back and back pain caused by the mischief last night have not been relieved. When Yun Yifeng landed on the ground, his legs and feet were soft, and he threw himself into his arms. The guards hurriedly lowered their heads in a panic, looking at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, to show that they didn't care about anything. did not see it.
Ji Yanran was surprised: "Yun'er is so active?"
Yun Yifeng grabbed his collar and dragged him into the room.
In the afternoon, the whole barracks knew about it, because Xiao Huang dragged Master Yunmen to talk for an hour... I don’t know what it was, anyway, after Master Yunmen finished listening, he dragged His Royal Highness King Xiao into the bedroom on the spot, It hasn't been released until now.
Huang Qing couldn't explain why he became a disaster. At first, he tried to explain, but later he found that these grandchildren didn't give him a chance to speak at all. They were just here to start a fight, so he hung one arm and raised a knife with one hand. To kill people. On the training ground, you chased each other, and the laughter almost turned the sky upside down, finally diluting the dull atmosphere of the past few days. Huang Qing was held up in the air, grinning and screaming for pain, when suddenly he saw a galloping horse galloping towards the city gate like an arrow piercing the air.
That was a person from the Northwest Heijiao Camp.
…
In the inn, Yun Yifeng was lying on the bed, her snow clothes were scattered like frost, and her thin waist was outlined by a brocade belt. His Royal Highness Xiao Wang used the banner of "I'll rub it for you", but before he pressed it twice, he fell on him like a mountain, put his chin against the smooth shoulder, and said shamelessly: "Yun'er is too fragrant today. , It gave me a headache, take a break."
Yun Yifeng responded lazily, without saying a word, just took his hand that was messing around, pulled it to his eyes and pinched his fingers one by one. Time was slowly passing away like this, and the sun outside the window was gradually slanting westward, mottled shadows fell on the two of them, and the last bit of cicadas singing in autumn and this tender scene were gently gathered together in one place.
Ji Yanran kissed the back of his neck delicately, feeling itchy to the touch, Yun Yifeng hid aside with a smile, and accidentally pushed down most of the light veil of the bed curtain, covering his eyes with haze. Ji Yanran pinched his chin, and was about to lean over to get closer, when a voice came from the courtyard: "Report—"
The lingering and ambiguous atmosphere disappeared, Yun Yifeng pushed away the person on her body, adjusted her clothes hastily, and asked, "Is there something moving in the woods?"
Ji Yanran stood in front of the window and took a look: "It's from the northwest."
The people from the northwest are still in such a hurry, it is likely that Lin Ying has already found out the whereabouts of "Ze Jue". The two went to the front hall to see, as expected, besides Lin Ying's adjutant, there was also another middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, wearing an ordinary gray robe, with an obvious smell from the barracks. The military spirit that crawled out from the middle.
Seeing Ji Yanran, the middle-aged man was about to kneel down to salute, but he was stopped: "Your Excellency seems to have a leg problem, you should sit down, there is no need to be too polite."
Lin Ying's adjutant is named Song Tao, and he is famously careful. This time, he searched all over the northwest, and finally found the owner of the "judgment" who was left in the desert, that is, the middle-aged man in front of him. The young man, named Li Fu, was an old member of the Xuanyi Army, and even Lu Guangyuan's fellow villager.
When Lin Ying and Song Tao first came to visit, Li Fu actually didn't want to bring up the old things again. The reason why he changed his mind in the end was because he heard about the current situation in the Southwest, and heard that the Yema tribe was trying to "get back for General Lu." The banner of "justice" stirred up troubles, intending to stir up a bloody storm that filled the beams, and then he let go, and agreed to go south with Songtao, and explain the old things clearly.
"I have been hiding in the Northwest for many years, and I often hear about the heroic achievements of the Black Dragon Battalion. Compared with the Xuanyi Army back then, it is three points better than that." Li Fu admired, "If General Quan Xia knows, he should be able to rest assured Hand over the rivers and mountains and the people to the hands of the prince."
Ji Yanran asked: "Mr. Li, why did he take this decision to the northwest?"
Li Fu felt ashamed and said: "This matter... because I was greedy for life and afraid of death, I ran away when I arrived at Ganyuan City."
Ganyuan City, further forward is the old Hibiscus Town with blood ganoderma and piles of white bones. Ji Yanran's heart skipped a beat. After more than 20 years, the truth that has been covered up by rumors and wind and rain will finally reveal its true face
Li Fu said: "I am from the same hometown as the General, we grew up together, although we are not as close as brothers, we are still closer than others."
Later Lu Guangyuan became a general, and Li Fu followed him all the time. At that time, Daliang was still trapped in a gloomy and gloomy wind and rain. There are locusts in the Central Plains, floods in the south, and turmoil in all directions of the country. There are also refugees and bandits in the country who take advantage of the chaos to make trouble. Among them is the most famous "Liu Family Army". The leader is named Liu Fei.
Li Fu said: "The battle in the East Sea had just been fought, and the army and the treasury hadn't recovered yet, so some courtiers suggested to the late emperor that the court take the initiative to make peace and send ministers to recruit Liu Fei."
Although this move sounded a bit useless, it could give the country a chance to breathe. At that time, Li Xu also tended to recruit security temporarily. There were even rumors in the court that the emperor had already drawn up the imperial decree, but Lu Guangyuan took the initiative to play it. I implore you to lead the army to fight against the rebels in Heisha City.
Li Fu said: "After I heard about this incident, I was taken aback and asked him where did he get his confidence. After all, the Liang people were exhausted and there was not much money in the treasury. On the contrary, Liu Fei's rebel army was strong and strong. Food and grass are plentiful."
Li Xu also asked the same question, but Lu Guangyuan only said that he would definitely be able to capture Heisha City.
"The first emperor was persuaded by the general."
In fact, this "talking" is also reasonable. One is that if the court bows to the rebels first, even if Li Xu understands the stakes, he will feel aggrieved. Of course it is best to win; the other is that Lu Guangyuan has never been defeated before, and he is known as the reincarnation of the god of war. , you will definitely win.
In this way, Lu Guangyuan led the Xuanyi Army, set off from the Central Plains, and embarked on a journey to wipe out the rebels. When Liu Fei heard the news, it was naturally impossible for him to sit at home obediently and wait for the general to come to his door. So in the next year, the two sides fought dozens of big battles in Ziyu Prefecture, Philadelphia, Lingcheng and other places. In both big and small battles, the Xuanyi Army has the upper hand, but the advantage is not obvious, and furthermore, there is a Hibiscus Town that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Lu Guangyuan ordered the whole army to rest on the spot for half a month. Li Fu was transferred to sort out paperwork because of his leg and foot injuries. He felt sleepy that day, so he fell asleep on the soft bed in the commander's room. Someone is talking.
One is Lu Guangyuan, and the other is a secret envoy sent by the first emperor. What the two talked about was related to the upcoming battle.
Li Fu said: "Because the battle of Lingcheng was fought hard, and the number of rebels in Mujin Town was more than that of Lingcheng, the late emperor was worried, so he sent someone to remind the general that if the army was trapped in Mujin Town, the imperial court definitely had no spare power to increase it." Those who send reinforcements, let the general think carefully before making the next step."
Yun Yifeng was slightly surprised, and unconsciously turned to look at Ji Yanran. For so many years, there have been rumors among the people, whether it is Xie Hanyan and the Mustang tribe, there is a saying that "the former emperor set up a trap out of suspicion, and lured General Lu to lead his troops into the enemy camp, but refused to send reinforcements", but as it is now Let's see, it turns out that at the beginning, the first emperor had no intention of sending troops to help
Li Fu said: "Although the general hesitated at that time, he finally decided to continue to attack Mujin Town according to the original plan. I was really disturbed, and after the secret envoy left, I asked him why he was so confident in attacking Liu Fei's rebels. "
"How did General Lu answer?"
Li Fu said: "The general said that the chance of winning is only 60%."
There is a 60% chance of winning, and it doesn't mean that you can't fight, but the court clearly has a better way of "temporarily recruiting security", so there is really no need to head-on. Li Fu said: "I grew up with the great general, and I can also figure out a part or two of his thoughts, so I took an opportunity to test it out and asked him whether his insistence on attacking Heisha City has something to do with Miss Xie."
Yun Yifeng was taken aback: "Miss Xie is also related to Liu Fei's rebellion against the party?"
"Not really." Li Fu hurriedly said, "but at that time Miss Xie was already the daughter of a guilty minister, and she was required to be exiled to the frontier fortress as an official slave according to the law. The general regarded her as a treasure in his hand, how could he be willing to part with it, so he thought With the illustrious military merits of destroying Liu Fei, I will go to the late emperor and ask the late emperor to marry Miss Xie."
Ji Yanran frowned secretly, such a tragic defeat was caused by an affair between his sons and daughters, really... He couldn't help holding Yun Yifeng's hand. How painful it is to abandon the one he loves, he has experienced it once in the Northwest. When he decided to give up the blood ganoderma and attack the kudzu tribe with all his plans, it was like a thousand sharp knives piercing his heart. When faced with a big country and a small family, it seems difficult to have a second choice.
But Lu Guangyuan chose Xie Hanyan. Maybe he thought that there was a 60% chance of winning and he could give it a go. But Li Fu panicked and persuaded Lu Guangyuan for three whole days. He almost bled from his forehead before he got him to say: "Take a few fellow countrymen with you and let's go."
Escaping in front of the battle has always been a felony crime of beheading in the Xuanyi Army, but this time it was proposed by Lu Guangyuan himself. Li Fu said: "At that time, the general seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, he was completely changed."
Li Fu was dissatisfied that he wanted to take tens of thousands of soldiers to take risks together for his own selfish desires, and there were still young and old in his family who needed to be taken care of, so in a hurry, he took a group of fellow countrymen and ran away. And dragging here in a carriage was because he was worried that he would encounter Liu Fei's rebels along the way. Later, he traveled to the northwest, and after confirming that it was safe, he abandoned the hidden weapon in the desert.
Later, everyone secretly took their family members to the northwest, where they lived in such anonymity.
Yun Yifeng asked again: "So General Lu and Miss Xie have children?"
Li Fu shook his head: "The first emperor never allowed the marriage of the two of them. After the delay, the two of them got older... Alas, Miss Xie's family did have a child, but she had a miscarriage before the full term. The general guessed it was because This, I feel ashamed in my heart, so I want to marry her and go home."
"Are you sure you lost it?" Yun Yifeng asked, "Have you ever given birth to any children?"
"Are you sure?" Li Fu was sure, "I don't know about the other things, but this matter is still certain."
So that Xie Hanyan really didn't have a single word of truth out of his mouth. Since the identity of his mother was in doubt, Jiang Lingfei's situation in the underground palace would be dangerous. Ji Yanran turned her head and asked, "How long will it take for the explosives to be transported to Yuli City?"
"Seven days." Yun Yifeng patted his hand, "I have sent someone to meet him in secret, please be safe, my lord, let's take it step by step."
…
In the underground palace, the four people, Partridge, Yuying, Guici and Xie Hanyan, were looking at the blood-red crawling worm in the porcelain cup.
"This thing is extremely difficult to cultivate. I spent a lot of effort, but I only bred one like this." Ghost stabbed, "Just put it in Ji Yanran's mind, and he can make him obediently obey the leader and control tens of thousands of Liang troops. , Go straight to the royal city!"
"It's indeed a good thing." Partridge tutted, "But it's hard to get it into Ji Yanran's mind, and I'm afraid it will be wasted."
"Not necessarily." Xie Hanyan tapped the porcelain cup with his fingertips, "Keep it, even if Ji Yanran can't be controlled, this thing is still a treasure to us."
Yuying guessed: "Sister means..."
Xie Hanyan's voice was hoarse: "You can't keep it for nothing, huh?"
Yuying lowered her head: "Yes."
…
On the mountain road, two big horses were still galloping under the autumn sun.
It's Qingyue and Lingxing'er, they have arrived in the southwest, and in a few days, they will be able to enter Yuli City. Along the way, I found that the southwest is not as turbulent as I thought before. The plague has been brought under control. Although the gates of the city are still closed, the daily life of the people in the city has not been greatly affected. Many people are looking forward to King Pingle's arrival, after all, looking at the high officials in the court makes them feel more at ease.
It was the first time in Li Jun's life that he was so loved and expected by the people. He was naturally flattered, and he did things more meticulously. There are only a few things that I am most concerned about. As long as the basic necessities of life can be guaranteed, and I can be safe and free from war, I am very satisfied.
Simple, simple. King Pingle was holding two wild vegetable buns given by his fellow villagers, squatting on the side of the road and devouring them. Mu Chengxue was leaning against a tree beside her with her sword in her arms, with a napping fat mink lying on her shoulder. This journey was not smooth, and the Mustang tribe sent four rounds of killers to get rid of Li Jun at least, but without exception, they were all killed by Mu Chengxue before they could get close in the future—because Before departure, Master Yunmen repeatedly warned His Royal Highness King Pingle to be cowardly and cowardly, so it is best to do murder in secret and never let him know.
Li Jun wiped her mouth and said with a chuckle, "It's quite peaceful."
Mu Chengxue, the fat mink on his shoulder, answered casually: "Yes."
The setting sun is falling through the cracks in the leaves, a rich prince and a cold-blooded killer, in this turbulent world, are suddenly linked together by some kind of mission—in fact, not only the two of them, but also more common people , More soldiers, all have the same thought in their hearts, to restore the peace of the Southwest as soon as possible, to stop the plague and stop the flames of war forever.
…
When Ling Xing'er and Qingyue arrived in Yuli City, a large amount of gunpowder happened to arrive. The whole city was heavily guarded and shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. After Ji Yanran discussed with several lieutenants about attacking the underground palace, it was past dusk when he came back. Yun Yifeng was sitting by the window, watching the sunset outside with restlessness.
"Qingyue and Xing'er went to rest?" Ji Yanran held his hand, but was taken aback, "Why so much cold sweat?"
"Let's start the war as soon as possible," Yun Yifeng looked at him, rarely restless, "We have to rescue Brother Jiang as soon as possible."
…
In the underground palace, Jiang Lingfei felt as if he had slept for a long time.
The dream went on and on, and finally stopped in a bitter cold and lonely wind, frost and snow field, and was awakened by the bright light.
Xie Hanyan was standing by the bed: "You're awake."
Jiang Lingfei turned his head to look at her, and wanted to sit up, but found that his hands and feet were bound by short chains and he couldn't move an inch.
"What do you want to do again?" He asked in a tired, hoarse voice.
"Don't blame your mother." Xie Hanyan sat beside him, stroking the sweat on his forehead with a towel, "For so many years, all I have thought about in my heart is to avenge my husband. No one else, now that I think about it, I really owe you too much."
"Mother, please stop." Jiang Lingfei begged, "Let the world go, let yourself go."
Xie Hanyan asked, "Do you want to avenge your father?"
"I think, but neither my mother nor I know the truth about the battle in Heisha City." Jiang Lingfei forced himself to sit up half an inch. As time goes by and I gradually forget my father, are they all going to die?"
"We've had the same conversation too many times." Xie Hanyan took the porcelain cup from the maid and said calmly, "Since you regard Ji Yanran as your confidant, there is one thing here that Ghost Thorn was going to give him. It’s up to you to accept the gift.”
The sound of the hard armor crawling came from the tank, and Jiang Lingfei's pupils constricted: "Mother!"
"Lei San was captured, and the army of the Mustang tribe was killed and injured, and their vitality was greatly damaged." Xie Hanyan said slowly, "I'm afraid the final battle will come soon."
Jiang Lingfei looked at the writhing red worm on the silver tweezers, and realized something. He made up his mind to close his teeth up and down, but Xie Hanyan pinched them open, and a thin trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. She almost bit the silver tweezers with hatred. Ya: "Father's revenge has not been avenged. As a descendant of the Xuanyi Army, you actually want to seek death?"
"You don't want to put a Gu on me!" Jiang Lingfei said harshly.
"If I don't play a Gu, would you be willing to kill Ji Yanran?" Xie Hanyan approached him, "You don't want to, so you chose this path yourself."
"Crazy." Jiang Lingfei panted roughly, "You are a complete lunatic!"
"Then you go crazy with me." Xie Hanyan looked at him, his emotions calmed down again, the anger just now disappeared without a trace, and there was even a strange peace and smile in his eyes, like the loneliness of trekking hard in the desert Traveler, finally had a chance to sit down and rest, she put the red worm into Jiang Lingfei's hair, and said softly, "After this is done, we will go to see my husband, your father, and the number of Xuanyi soldiers together." Thousands of soldiers, they are all waiting for us."
Jiang Lingfei roared, and pulled his hands vigorously, but he couldn't break free from the restraint. He only pulled the thin chain into his flesh, leaving a bed of fresh bloodstains.
The crimson hard worm gradually disappeared, and his struggle gradually weakened until he fell into a new lethargy.
Ghost Cricket stood at the door and praised: "Mrs. Xie is really good at it."
Xie Hanyan didn't look up: "How long will it take for him to wake up?"
"After one day and one night." Ghost stabbed, "The Gu worm entered his brain. After Jiang Shaoxia wakes up, he will never think of King Xiao and the old concubine again, and will only obediently obey his wife's orders."
Xie Hanyan responded, and carefully bandaged the wound on Jiang Lingfei's wrist.
"Unbelievable..."
In the main hall, Yuying lit candles one by one and said, "Sister has already taken that red worm to refine Jiang Lingfei."
"It's a pity." Partridge shook his head, "If it can be replaced by Ji Yanran, or simply put into the emperor's mind, then even if you and I want to sit on the Dragon Throne in the Royal City, it won't be too difficult."
Yuying frowned: "If you sit on the dragon chair, don't let my sister hear it!"
"So what, I'm going to kill the emperor anyway." Partridge leaned back on the chair, touching his chin with one hand, "It's just that now that Lei San is defeated, the next battle will be a bit difficult for us. "
"It is said that some time ago, although Ji Yanran was ill in bed, he was still able to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. With only two letters, he taught Zhou Jiong to lead his troops to attack Dianhua City." Yuying said, "Does the leader believe it?"
"It's just bragging." Partridge dismissed, "I don't believe it."
Yuying blew off the fire and reminded: "But he is the commander-in-chief of the army and horses after all. If he has no real skills at all, it is impossible. You and I must not be careless about rivals in love."
"If Jiang Lingfei can kill him, it's not a waste of red worms." Partridge said, "The third young master of the Jiang family is rumored to be the number one in the world, and he is worthy of being the leader of the alliance. This time, I must never let you I'm disappointed."
Hundreds of candles flickered, illuminating hundreds of gauze baskets around.
The black poisonous insects were crawling crazily, and the sound was like sandstorm and rain.
A foul, foul-smelling, ugly night.
And on the mountain road dozens of miles away, a group of people and horses were guarding a carriage, and the smoke and dust billowed forward.
It was almost daylight.
