Because of a Western messenger, the quarrel in the early morning made people dizzy. After the court dispersed, Chang Geng ignored the large group of people who wanted to talk to him and helped the elderly Fenghan Gong out of the palace.
People in the capital were panicking, and there was a shortage of horses and carriages. Usually, Gu Yun asked Huo Dan to wait for him outside the palace with a horse. However, this day, Huo Dan was delayed by something and was nowhere to be seen.
Chang Geng didn't care at first, he walked side by side with the old dean of the Lingshu Academy and walked back slowly.
Lord Fenghang lived in the Lingshu courtyard all day long, and the eye sockets were sunken in. The whole figure was like a drained radish, only a pair of radiant eyes were left, which looked particularly toothless.
"It's hard for His Highness to have the patience to accompany us, an old man with bad legs," Feng Hangong sighed, "Is there any news about the reinforcements, and when will they come?"
Chang Geng: "The chaos of the four borders has stymied the five military regions. You know what the local garrison looks like. Over the years, the military spending and purple gold quotas of the states have been reduced again and again. Although Qiu is fast marching, dexterous and easy to mobilize, he is also very easy to be hindered. Once the enemy troops set up heavy armor or chariots to intercept along the road, if the commander is slightly inexperienced, it is easy to trap the team in the enemy's siege - even foreigners. It doesn't take many people."
"His Royal Highness really makes the old man feel ashamed. The Lingshu Academy has not produced anything decent for several years," Zhang Fenghan shook his head mockingly, "This useless old immortal is also a vegetarian meal. The emperor is getting old, and unexpectedly encounters a national disaster, I am afraid that he will not end well."
Chang Geng said warmly: "Fenghan Gong Gong is in the future, don't belittle yourself."
"Is there still a big beam after the Qianqiuqiuqiu?" Zhang Fenghan pursed his mouth, "I thought that when I entered the Lingshu Academy, I would be able to ignore things outside the window, deal with the fire machine steel armor all my life, and concentrate on my own work. , but it turns out that the world is bustling, even if the gentleman and villain go their own way, they can always bump into each other. Be a ninth bitch full of phone oil."
Chang Geng knew that Duke Feng Han was just expressing his emotions and didn't want to hear his answer, so he smiled and said nothing.
Daliang has come to this point. The conflict between the two generations of imperial power and military power is the fuse, but it is not the root cause. When the national treasury is getting shabby every year, it is already doomed to this bleak situation. The ending ending.
Zhang Fenghan: "The hidden stakes of the forbidden air network in Qiyuan Tower are being adjusted every day. Those foreigners only dare to march on military vehicles, and a large number of eagle armors do not dare to go up, but the power in the hidden stakes is always limited. I heard that foreigners Every day I use a rope to pull Mu Yuan to 'fly a kite' outside the city, I'm afraid that in a few days, the iron arrows stored in the dark pile will be unsustainable, what should I do then, does Gu Shuai have a charter?"
There are less than 100 Xuan Yings that exist in the Peking University Camp, even if they are short of arms and legs. Once the air-forbidden network fails, the city will probably be destroyed.
Chang Geng: "Well, he knows and is trying to figure out a way."
Zhang Fenghan, who was full of worries, couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He didn't know whether to say that King Yanbei was a "hero out of a boy", or to say that he had little roots. It seemed that even if the sky fell in front of him, the little prince would still say nothing. Guan himself generally "knows".
Zhang Fenghan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Today, the commander Han of the Imperial Forest Army was missing from the court. Did the lord see it? There are rumors in the court now that the emperor angered the Western envoys on the surface, but actually planned to move the capital."
- ^ .
Chang Geng smiled, and his face was not surprised: "The emperor will not, and we are not at the end of the day. I saw the car of Lingshu Courtyard. Help you up, Huo Bo is here?"
Huo Dan walked in a hurry, his face full of anxiety, he came to Chang Geng: "I am late today, my lord, please forgive me."
"It's okay," Chang Geng waved his hand, "Huobo what's the delay today?"
"" Huo Dan carefully glanced at his expression, "Master Hou was injured by an arrow from a Westerner last night. I only heard about it early in the morning. I just went, my lord!"
Under Huo Dan and Zhang Fenghan's stunned expressions, Chang Geng, who was just walking around, suddenly changed his face, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, disappearing like a gust of wind.
The smell of gunpowder smoke in front of the Nine Gates formation hadn't dissipated, and the Western army had just retreated quietly at dawn, and Gu Yun was also able to breathe for a moment.
Xuan Tie's shoulder armor was recessed, and the arrow had been pulled out. The two military doctors surrounded Gu Yun, holding pliers and scissors, carefully prying down his deformed shoulder armor. The clothes and flesh inside were mixed. a group.
Chang Geng rushed in, his eyes fell on Gu Yun, and he couldn't help but look away, his face was even uglier than the injured one.
"Hey" Gu Yun took a deep breath, "I said you two can have a good time? What about embroidery? How about this?"
Chang Geng didn't answer. He took a deep breath and stepped forward. He pushed the two military doctors back. He bent down and carefully observed the pieces of armor that could not be broken off Gu Yun's body. Yun's shoulder was cut off from the other side. His hand was extremely fast. The sharp pliers cut iron like mud to open a hole in the deformed shoulder armor, and blood immediately stuck to his hand.
Chang Geng's cheeks were tensed, and he was a little breathless for a while, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me that you were hurt like this?"
Gu Yun, who was still grinning just now, endured the pain, gritted his teeth and said, "Small matter - what did the Western envoys at the meeting say?"
"What can I say, there is a lot of nonsense on the Golden Temple," Chang Geng moved his somewhat unstable fingers and lifted off the broken armor that had been stuck to Gu Yun's body with blood, "Said let us lift the 'persecution and plundering' against the countries of the Western Regions. ', ceding the territory outside Jiayuguan to become the Wanguo business district, and the laws in the business district are governed by their domestic laws, and there are"
The deformed shoulder armor was completely peeled off. Chang Geng stared at Gu Yun's wound and took a deep breath. He straightened his body with difficulty and slowed down for a moment.
"What else?" Gu Yun shuddered and sweated, "I said, doctor, why is your old man still dizzy?"
Chang Geng's whole body was stretched like an iron rod: "I'm dizzy with your blood."
He grabbed Gu Yun's jug and took two sips, making him dizzy and wanting to vomit. He forced himself to breathe for a while before Chang Geng picked up the scissors on one side and cut open the clothes that couldn't be seen.
"In addition, the thirty-six counties in northern Xinjiang and the north of the line from Xijing to Youzhou in Zhili were all assigned to the eighteen tribes, and the capital of Daliang was moved to the eastern capital of the Central Plains - and Princess Hening was sent to the eighteen tribes as a pledge. Towards the eighteen divisions as ministers, paying tribute every year”
He Ning is Li Feng's only daughter, only seven years old.
Gu Yun said angrily, "Fart!"
As soon as he struggled, blood gushed out, Chang Geng couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Don't move!"
The two were relatively silent for a while, Gu Yun was uncertain, and after a while, he said, "Go ahead."
"In addition, they also forced Li Feng to order Shen Yi to withdraw the garrison in the southern Xinjiang that occupied the Nanyang Islands, divide the rivers inside and outside the East China Sea Canal, and retreat to Hanoi. ." Chang Geng's eyes were heavy, but he wiped his wound very gently with his hands, paused, and then said, "There is still compensation."
Gu Yun tensed his muscles silently.
"In the early days, Li Feng was going to be executed, but was persuaded by the ministers." Chang Geng held Gu Yun's uninjured shoulder, "I want to clean the wound, foster father, temporarily seal your consciousness, okay?"
Gu Yun shook his head.
Chang Geng persuaded with kind words: "I only use a little medicine, you are highly resistant to medicines, and you won't be able to sleep for long. If there is a change in the outer city, I will guard it for you."
"Just wash," Gu Yun interrupted him, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chang Geng glanced at him and realized that it was useless to reason with this person.
At this moment, Tan Hongfei came running and said, "Master"
As soon as Gu Yun turned around, he smelled a strange fragrance. He took a breath without any precaution, and his whole body suddenly softened.
The wise and wise Marquis of Anding never imagined that His Royal Highness the Duke of Kings would still use such an unpopular means of "the world in his sleeve", and he even used it on himself!
Gu Yun: "you"
Without blinking, Chang Geng quickly stabbed the fine needle into his acupuncture point, and then grabbed Gu Yun's unconscious body.
Tan Hongfei, who watched helplessly as the coach was brought down, was stunned at the door, staring at His Royal Highness with big eyes: ""
Chang Geng made a silent gesture at him without changing his face, picked up Gu Yun and laid him flat, and began to clean his wounds carefully.
Tan Hongfei was dumbfounded: "This and that"
Chang Geng: "It's okay, let him sleep for a while and suffer less."
Tan Hongfei blinked - a long time ago, he always thought that His Royal Highness King Yanbei was like a gentle scholar. Later, when he found out that he could figure it out, he was very impressed, and he felt close until this moment. He raised a raging reverence.
Tan Hongfei reached out and touched his face subconsciously—the scar on his face by Gu Yun had not gone away—he said in his heart, "Your lord is too bold."
Chang Geng: "By the way, what's the matter?"
Tan Hongfei came back to it now, and said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is here, the driver is behind, look."
While speaking, the haggard Li Feng arrived in casual clothes with only Zhu Xiao's feet by his side.
Li Feng looked down at Gu Yun who was in a coma, and then reached out to probe his forehead: "Is Uncle Huang all right?"
"Flesh wound." Chang Geng bandaged the wound, put a thin silk robe on Gu Yun's body, and packed up his silver needle: "It's just that I gave him some anesthetic, he won't be able to wake up in a while, brother emperor. Don't be surprised."
Chang Geng said, then got up and picked up Gu Yun's cutting wind blade, without wearing his armor, he turned around and walked out.
Li Feng hurriedly asked, "What?"
"I'll guard the city for a while for my foster father," Chang Geng said. "Although the messenger is in Beijing, I'm afraid it's a mysterious formation of Westerners. Maybe they will attack the city while we relax our vigilance, so be careful."
Li Feng stayed on the spot for a while, suddenly grabbed a saber, and followed out, Zhu Xiaoxiao was shocked: "Your Majesty!"
Li Feng ignored him and went up to the city wall.
With his clairvoyance, Emperor Longan saw that not far away was the camp of the Western Army. The fertile soil in the suburbs of Beijing was now devastated. In the past, the nine gates of the capital, which were like flowing water and horses, were stagnant. The collapsed corner of the city wall was firmly supported by the scrapped black iron armor.
The ordinary soldiers in the Peking Camp knew Chang Geng, and they came forward to greet him, but they didn't know Li Feng. They just saw that he was well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing.
The two brothers of Li's family and appearance were side by side on the city wall. From their appearance to their stature, they had no similarities.
Li Feng suddenly said to Chang Geng: "Han Qi should be back in the afternoon. You have a message for Uncle Huang, and let him find someone he can trust to answer him."
Chang Geng didn't ask, he didn't seem to be curious at all, he just replied: "Yes."
Li Feng: "Don't ask me where did Han Qi go?"
Chang Geng lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the stone bricks of the city wall, and then said after a moment of silence: "I have been dispatching the Ziliujin of the household department and the military supplies for a while, and found that there are some doubts about the access of the imperial court in the past few years, but it may be the emperor's own. Make arrangements."
As soon as Emperor Longan heard it, he knew that the little bit of Zi Liujin that he had kept secretly was already noticed by Chang Geng.
Li Feng said a little embarrassedly: "Well, there is a secret road leading to Jinghua Garden in Desheng Gate, I asked Han Qi to lead the troops out of the city from here, and open the private warehouse of Jinghua Garden, there is a cough inside, I have not yet The 160,000 catties of Zi Liujin that were released in time—don’t say anything, people are unstable right now, and if you know about the secret way, I’m afraid some people’s hearts will fluctuate.”
Chang Geng nodded, not very surprised - Li Feng took out his family.
As stubborn as Emperor Long'an, it is impossible for him to lose his power and humiliate the country and call himself a minister. He would rather be buried under the nine gates.
As soon as he was silent, there was nothing to say between the two of them - in fact, it was always the case. Except for the nonsense of the political affairs of the DPRK and the greetings, there was really nothing to say between the brothers of the Li family.
Li Feng: "How much do you know Uncle Huang?"
Chang Geng: "Twelve years old."
Li Feng said "uh": "He doesn't have a family, and he has been leading troops in the northwest for a long time. He must not be able to take care of you, right?"
Chang Geng's eyes fluctuated slightly: "No, he hurts people very much."
Li Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the dim sky, remembering that he had grown up with Gu Yun. When he was a child, he was occasionally jealous that his father treated Gu Yun better and more tenderly, but in most cases, he still felt that although this little uncle was Don't play with them very much, but they are nice.
He also once thought that this juvenile affection would last a lifetime.
But it's only been ten years, and it's already like this.
"Amin," Li Feng said, "If the city is broken, I will pass it on to you. You will take the harem and the officials through the secret road first, move the capital to Luoyang and then slowly plan it. There will always be a comeback one day."
Chang Geng finally glanced at him.
"If there is such a day," Li Feng continued with his eyes flat, staring into the distance, "you don't have to still be the prince, just give your nephews a place to live."
Chang Geng didn't answer. After a while, he said indifferently, "Brother Huang's words are serious, not to that extent."
Li Feng looked at his younger brother, vaguely remembering what he heard from his mother when he was a child.
She said that women from Beiman are all monsters, and they are the most capable of playing poison and deceiving people, and the monsters that will be born in the future will also taint the blood of the royal family of Daliang.
Later, the Marquis of Anding brought the fourth prince who had been living in the folk for many years back to the palace. For the sake of the last emperor's last wish and his own virtue, Li Feng left him. .
And until this moment, Emperor Longan realized that he couldn't see through this young man.
In the face of national disasters and enemies, he did not change color, and it was difficult for the 95th to touch his heart. The clothes on his body seemed to be the same as last year, and the cuffs were too thin to change.
He is even more elusive than Master Liao Chi of Huguo Temple, he loves nothing, as if nothing in this world can impress him.
Li Feng opened his mouth, and at this moment, Zhu Xiaojiao reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace."
Li Feng came back, handed the saber to the soldier on the side, patted Chang Geng on the shoulder silently, glanced at the tall and straight back of the young man, and turned away.
After Li Feng left, a disgraced monk went up to the gate tower—exactly.
The monks of Huguo Temple have all withdrawn into the city. Along with the host, he recites scriptures every day to pray for national luck, and secretly uses informants to investigate people around Li Feng at night.
Chang Geng glanced at him.
Clearly shook his head and gestured: "I checked around, and the resumes of the people around the emperor are very clean, and there was no close contact with the eighteen witches and their subordinates."
Chang Geng: "The emperor is suspicious by nature. He is not someone who can't hide things. We have repeatedly leaked secrets here. That person must be his confidant - have you checked Eunuch Zhu?"
Clearly shook his head solemnly - checked, no problem.
Chang Geng frowned slightly.
At this time, Gu Yun, who was brought down by Chang Geng's needle and medicine, finally woke up. He almost slept without knowing what was going on, until the dull pain from the wound on his shoulder came, and he finally remembered what had happened.
Gu Yun got up and put on his clothes, ready to go to Chang Geng to settle accounts.
Who would have guessed that as soon as he came out, he heard a loud noise in the distance, and the entire capital shook. Gu Yun held the city wall and said in his heart, "Earthquake?"
Chang Geng, who was on the tower, turned his head abruptly, and a sullen look flashed across his eyebrows - he always thought that the traitor in the imperial city was a palace servant by Li Feng's side, how could Li Feng be cautious and suspicious, how could he reveal the matter of Jinghua Garden to his side slave
Gu Yun: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know," Chang Geng walked down quickly, "Li Feng came here just now, saying that he asked Han Qi to set off from the secret road and go to Jinghua Garden to transport Ziliujin. Is that the direction of the western suburbs?"
Gu Yun woke up in a flash.
On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, the secret of Jinghua Garden was revealed. The Westerners' peace talks were indeed a cover, but instead of taking the opportunity to attack the city, they sent troops to detour to the west of Beijing and robbed Han Qi halfway.
After struggling to the death, Han Qi was finally defeated, and he made a decisive decision. He set a fire of 100,000 Zi Liu Jin on fire, and directly blew the entrance of the secret passage, burning all the jade and stones.
The fire devoured the entire western suburbs like a prairie fire, and the inexhaustible Zi Liujin was like a karmic fire brought from the ground. All the pavilions and pavilions were torched, and the special purple air reflected half of the sky like auspicious auspiciousness.
The heart of the earth is burning, and the entire Jinghua is shaking.
The heat flow stretches for dozens of miles, slowly flowing into the rock-solid nine gates from the western suburbs, and the cool early summer in the capital can be compared to the southern Xinjiang stove in an instant.
The light and indistinguishable smell of Zi Liujinlai came against the east wind, and everyone finally tasted that special smell—it turned out to be an indescribable fragrance.
It seems that the rosin is mixed with a little grass and wood.
All the remaining heavy armors were all mobilized by Gu Yun, and the strings of the white rainbow were tightened.
As he expected, the Western army really moved at this time.
Gu Yun didn't know how many Western troops were burned by that fire, nor how long the Pope could last under such severe wear and tear. After many days of siege, both sides have reached their limit.
Just now, the first wave of frantic attacks arrived. Heavy armor and chariots alternated, artillery fire and white rainbow came one after another, and there was almost no gap between the fierce artillery fire on both sides.
