The moon is bright and dark in the misty dark clouds, making people's hearts go up and down.
Gao Nannan stood on the city wall, looking at the open space in the distance, and said, "According to the news, Feng Dajun has already joined Yun Qing. It is estimated that they will reach the capital within two days."
Gui Sanliang was timid: "General Gao, doesn't the enemy have 550,000 horses?" They only have 200,000 horses. Not to mention the combat power, they are only less than half of the opponent's number. In this case, how can you hold it
Gao Dongnan did not answer this, but asked Tie Kui: "General Tie, what do you think?"
Tie Kui said: "Yun Qing is a victorious general. As long as he leads the troops, the morale is high. In addition, there are far more people than us. In this case, we have no chance of winning at all."
This is the truth, Gao Dongnan didn't refute it, but said: "The city is here, and the city is dead." He is going to defend the capital to the death.
Gui Sanliang didn't answer the conversation, he didn't want to die. If it wasn't for the situation, he would never take the initiative to call for a fight.
Tie Kui saw Gui Sanliang's reaction in his eyes. If you don't want to die, you have the opportunity to be drawn into the camp.
Standing on the wall, confidential matters will naturally not be said. When walking down the city wall, Gao Nannan said to Tie Kui and Gui Sanliang: "Go home and have a look. When the rebels come in, you can't go back if you want to." He decided to defend the city to death, and also demanded Tie Kui and Gui Sanliang. To defend the city to death.
Back in the house, Gao Nannan's confidant Li Chun said: "General, what you ordered has been done."
Gao Dongnan diǎn his head.
Li Chun hesitated and said: "General, do you really want to burn down the palace?" I don't know how much manpower and material resources were needed to build the palace, it feels a pity that it burned down like this.
Gao Dongnan is Yan Wushuang's diehard loyal: "Since the emperor has ordered, we naturally have to act in accordance with the will." As for what a pity, it is not within his consideration.
Li Chun didn't speak any more.
Gao Dongnan asked, "What's the difference between Gui Mansion and Tie Mansion?" Yan Wushuang was not at ease with Tie Kui, and Gui Sanliang was also not at ease. Although Gui Sanliang's parents and his wife and children are in Liaodong, Gui Sanliang should not be rebellious, but everything is in case, so it is better to be more cautious.
Li Chun shook his head: "There is nothing unusual." Gui Sanliang married several concubines in Beijing and gave birth to five concubines. There are fierce competitions for favor in your house on weekdays, but Gui Sanliang's concubine, who has gone through the last incident, is now well settled.
Gao Dongnan said: "Pay close attention to the movements of Tiefu and Guifu, especially Tiefu. You must report to me if there is anything unusual." Yan Wushuang specifically explained this.
Li Chun diǎndiǎn head.
Xiao's body was almost adequate, and he pretended to be sick just to escape to Liaodong. Even the two daughters concealed this matter. The main thing is that the matter is too big, and I am afraid that my daughter will not be able to hide the secret at a young age, and what it will bring is the disaster of destruction.
Before Tie Kui entered the room, he heard a burst of cheerful laughter. When I walked into the room, I saw two daughters sitting on the side of the bed and talking with Xiao. The three mothers and daughters all smiled on their faces. But when the two sisters saw Tie Kui, the smile on their faces disappeared.
Ruyi stood up with Ruhui and saluted Tie Kui in a proper manner: "Father." There are totally two attitudes towards Xiao and towards Tie Kui.
Tie Kui said to them, "Go back to your house first, and I will talk to your mother." Because the situation is turbulent now, the two girls also moved to the main courtyard.
"Yes." After speaking, the two of them glanced at Xiao Clan together, and then they walked out when they saw the head of Xiao Clan.
Xiao clan said guiltily, "Master, the children don't know how to misunderstand the lord, lord don't be angry." Because Tiekui doted on Aunt Lu before, Xiao clan and Ruyi's two sisters suffered a lot of grievances. Even if Tie Kui's attitude changed later, the two sisters were also very distant from Tie Kui.
Tie Kui shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I have really wronged them all these years." The two concubines often make things difficult for them, but they are not wronged.
Xiao had also resented Tie Kui before, but after she knew the truth, she felt guilty and distressed: "Master is also involuntary." If it weren't for identity reasons, Tie Kui didn't need to show Yan Wushuang.
"In less than ten days, King Ming will bring his troops to the capital. When the prince enters the capital, I will be relieved." When he said this, Tie Kui was very brisk.
Xiao is very worried and repeats the previous topic again: "Master, do you have to disclose your identity? If you disclose your identity, Yan Wushuang will definitely attack you. Open spears are easy to hide and arrows are hard to defend. Master, please also Think twice." She just wanted Tie Kui to live well, and she didn't want Tie Kui to fall into a more dangerous situation because of his identity.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I have waited for more than 30 years, I don't want to wait anymore." Even if he didn't announce his identity, Yan Wushuang would not be able to spare him. If Yan Wushuang was assassinated and he didn't disclose his identity, wouldn't it be a great loss.
Xiao Shi couldn't make sense of Tie Kui, and tears came.
Tie Kui helped her wipe the tears and said, "Don’t be sad, when King Ming takes the capital, I will take you to Gaocheng. There is the world of King Ming and the famous concubine, Yan Wushuang can’t reach there no matter how long. "As long as he is more cautious, Yan Wushuang will not find a chance even if he wants to kill him.
Xiao Clan hesitated and said, "Master, can you not disclose Zhan'er's identity first." Her husband didn't listen to her, but she didn't want her son to be in danger.
Tie Kui said: "Yan Wushuang is not dead, I will not announce Zhan'er's identity. But when you get to Haocheng, I will let you see Zhan'er." He is not the two most sorry people in his life. The daughter, but the Xiao clan, had deliberately spoiled his concubine and annihilated his wife in order to prevent Yan Wushuang. For the safety of his son, they left the mother and son out of one day. Thinking about it, Tie Kui was too guilty.
Speaking of his son, Xiao couldn't help but cry. After thinking about it day and night for eight years, I was finally about to see my son.
After talking for a long time, Tie Kui finally told Xiao the purpose of coming back this time: "The capital will be more chaotic in two days, and I will send someone to take you with your child."
Xiao asked hurriedly: "Go? Go to Gaocheng?"
Tie Kui shook his head: "Avoid to other places. Only the prince and the princess know who I am. Once the city breaks down, I am worried that you will be affected by that time, so I found a place to live in advance and move in at that time." Being accidentally injured by the Northwest Army was also a ruthless attack by the people who guarded against Yan Wushuang. The place was arranged by Falcon and it was very safe.
Xiao's diǎn head said: "Okay."
After another explanation, Tie Kui left.
Ruyi and Ruhui entered the house and saw Xiao's eye sockets red and swollen. Ruhui had a violent temper and was so angry when she saw it: "Mother, what did Dad say?"
Xiao said: "Ruhui, your father said that the situation outside has been chaotic recently and he wants me to restrain the people in the mansion from going out."
Ruhui obviously didn't believe it. If you just say this, why does the mother cry.
Xiao sighed and said, "I told you before that your father has difficulties." Rather than wait for Ruhui to ask, Xiao said, "You will understand later."
Ruhui's words suddenly became louder: "What can I have? If it weren't for his partiality to the Lu family, the younger sister would not die." The death of her sister was the deepest pain in Ruhui's heart.
Seeing her daughter's hysterical appearance, Xiao couldn't help but say: "She's not..." Before she finished speaking, she heard the maid outside saying that Zhong Shantong begged to see him.
Xiao did not want to go on. Explain these things to my daughter later. Don't talk about it now at this time.
That night, Falcon got news that Gao Nannan's confidant Li Chun had taken a lot of tung oil from the barracks. As for its usefulness, it is unclear for the time being.
Chi Ying said solemnly: "Is there any ulterior motive for taking the tung oil at this time?" Tung oil is indispensable when fighting at night.
Falcon quickly understood this purpose: "Gao Dongnan is afraid that he wants to burn the palace."
Chi Ying said: "If so, boss, we must stop it." The palace was burned down, and I didn't know how much money it would cost to rebuild. And for such a large-scale building, I am afraid that it will not be good for five years.
After finishing speaking, Chi Ying said with a bitter face: "How can I stop it?" Gao Dongnan is now in power. He only needs to give an order and the palace will be burned down.
Falcon looked silent, and could stop Gao Dongnan's only Tiekui. Furthermore, if Tie Kui can get up early, they can also reduce unnecessary casualties. Therefore, we must meet Tie Kui.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhong Shantong received a letter, and Yue Tiekui met in Zhao Yuelou. Looking at the imprint, Zhong Shantong's expression changed slightly. This Falcon in the wind and waves wanted to see his master, fearing that there was something very urgent.
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhong Shantong went into the house and told Xiao's about it: "Madam, if you don't want to arouse suspicion, you can only be wronged, Madam." He wanted Xiao to pretend to be unconscious, so he sent someone to notify Tie Kui. It won't lead to the suspicion of Gao Dongnan and those who secretly monitor them.
Xiao hesitated: "Steward Zhong, do you think they will ask the master to do dangerous things."
Zhong Shantong also had this concern, but he still opened his mouth and said, "It's up to the master whether or not to do this." They couldn't make a decision for Tie Kui.
Xiao's head agreed.
Qamdo County is more than 400 miles away from the capital, and it will take two to three days for the army to arrive.
Standing on the city wall, Gao Nannan said to Tie Kui: "Yun Qing will be there tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Neither Gui Sanliang nor Tie Kui said a word. Against Shang Yunqing, they didn't even have a chance of winning.
There was silence, and Tie Kui said, "I don't know if the emperor has arrived in Shengjing now?" It has been several days since Yan Wushuang left the capital, and he should have almost arrived in Shengjing.
Gao Dongnan said hesitantly, "It must be here."
As soon as Gui Sanliang wanted to speak, he heard A Shao hurriedly approaching Tie Kui and said, "Master, just now the family sent a message to say that Madam was shocked and fainted. She hasn't woken up yet."
Tie Kui's wife is in poor health, and Gao Dongnan also knows. If not, Xiao would definitely be on his way to Shengjing.
Tie Kui asked blankly, "My wife was fine when I went back yesterday, what's going on?"
A Shao didn't dare to look up at Tie Kui: "Madame heard the people in the mansion smashed his mouth, thinking that the anti-king leader had hit outside the capital. She was frightened and fainted."
Tie Kui said with a cold face, "Have you asked the doctor to treat his wife?" He knew the most about Xiao's physical condition, fearing that there was something important.
Seeing Ah Shao's head, Tie Kui said, "Go back and tell the housekeeper Zhong that I can't go away. The things in the house make him bother."
Thinking of his wife and children in Liaodong, Gui Sanliang felt a little unbearable when he saw this, and said, "Brother Tie, it is very serious if you want to come to Zun, you should go back!"
Tie Kui hesitated, but still shook his head: "In this situation, where can I walk away at will."
When Gao Dongnan saw this, he said, "Go back! When the rebels come in, you can't go back if you want."
"Thank you, General Gao." After speaking, Tie Kui hurried back.
Seeing Tie Kui's rapid pace, Gui Sanliang smiled and said: "The rumor said that General Tie did not like the original partner. It seems that it was a misunderstanding." Gui Sanliang's wife is his uncle's cousin, and the relationship between husband and wife is very good. Although he likes beauty, he respects his wife very much.
If it was Yan Wushuang, he would definitely doubt it, because it was a coincidence. However, when he changed to Gao Dongnan, he didn't think so much: "Is it the wife of the knot after all." What's more, Xiao gave birth to two daughters for Tie Kui. Now there is life-threatening danger, it would be too shameless if you don't miss it. Tie Kui took special care of his brother's family, and how could he really show affection to his wife who had his haircut
Gui Sanliang couldn't help saying: "Brother Tie can still see his wife and children, I'm afraid I won't see them again."
Gao Dongnan also fell silent. His wife and children are also in Shengjing. In this life, I will never see you again.
Back at home, Tie Kui asked Zhong Shantong: "What must I come back for?"
After listening to Zhong Shantong's words, Tie Kui said: "At this time, the appointment must be very important. "
When I entered the house, I saw two daughters crying with red and swollen eyes. Seeing Tie Kui, Ruyi couldn't control it first, and cried and said, "Father, the doctor said that she..." She couldn't say anything afterwards.
Ruhui also cried badly.
Tie Kui touched Ruyi's forehead and said softly, "Don't be afraid, your mother will be fine."
People like Doctor Zhang and Doctor Le all went to Shengjing. This time, the doctor from Huichuntang was the one who was seeing Xiao's doctor.
The doctor said: "General Tie, if you don't wake up before tomorrow morning, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up again." Xiao's pulse is sometimes absent, and his complexion is pale and weak. Look like.
Tie Kui said with a cold face, "If the doctor can save my wife, Tie will definitely thank him."
The doctor shook his head and said: "The old lady has done her best." It will definitely save him, but Xiao's situation is not within his ability.
When the sisters Ruyi and Ruhui heard this, they burst into tears.
Tie Kui still had to go to Zhao Yue Tower and didn't have much time to stay at home. Looking at Ruyi, Tie Kui said, "Take care of your mother and sister."
Ruyi was a little frightened, and couldn't help but yelled, "Father, can you not leave?" Tie Kui was here, and she was still at ease. If Tiekui is gone, there is not even a man in charge in an accidental mansion of my mother.
Tie Kui didn't hesitate to shook his head: "No, now there is a war outside, and Dad can't stay at home. Ruyi, if there is anything to do, please directly tell the housekeeper Zhong."
Ruyi diǎn head with red eyes.
