"It is no wonder that Xiao Zhongwu and his wife fought for military power before the first seven days. It is no wonder that 60,000 people were drowned in the battle of Guocheng Changgu and their faces remained unchanged. In terms of ruthlessness, who can compare to Xiao Huaijin?"

In the dungeon, there was silence for a moment.

Shen Han wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything. The young man turned his back to the prisoner, his hand close to his side slowly clenched into a fist.

But after a short while, he loosened it slowly. He turned his head, looked at Leihou, and smiled indifferently: "It seems that you know exactly what kind of person I am. Then you have to think more clearly." He walked out, his voice was cold, "I never give someone a chance. Second chance."

When he walked to the door, he happened to ran into He Yan and Lin Shuanghe standing around the corner. He stared at him, ignored him, and left.

No one dared to catch up behind him.

Shen Han asked Lei Hou to be locked in again. I don't know if Lei Hou's heart was desperate because of his words with Xiao Jue. Lei Hou laughed miserably. The laughter echoed in the dungeon, grim and stern.

Fei Nu walked out of it, and saw He Yan and Lin Shuanghe also startled, and said: "Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

"I want to say," He Yan glanced inside: "I have fought against Lei Hou. When the supervisor interrogated Lei Hou, he might be able to help, so let's take a look."

"No, it has been resolved." Feinu answered quickly, "The two can go back."

Lin Shuanghe shrugged and saw Xiao Jue's cloak in Feinu's hands. He took the initiative to reach out and said, "This is Huai Jin's clothes. I'll send it to him. If you want to come, he won't even want to See people."

Fei Nu: "Don't bother Master Lin."

"No trouble, no trouble," Lin Shuanghe said: "I'm going to look for him later."

Fei Nu gave up and nodded to Lin Shuanghe: "Thank you Master Lin, then."

Lin Shuanghe smiled and said to He Yan: "Let's go."

The two walked outside together.

When it came out, it was already snowing in the sky, and now it was a little bigger. He Yan was injured and walked very slowly, with Cheng Lisu's cloak still covered outside. Although Lin Shuanghe's mouth is called "sister" and is affectionate, he has a sense of proportion in getting along with the woman, as if deliberately avoiding suspicion, not even helping He Yan.

But the two were not in a hurry, and they went very slowly.

The snow particles fell down and hit people. He Yan thought in his heart that he had just heard Lei Hou's words in the dungeon. Is it a war?"

He Yan was startled, and then replied: "I've heard it."

The Battle of Changgu City in Guocheng was the most important battle in the past when Xiao Jue led the Nanfu soldiers to quell the Nanban Rebellion after Xiao Zhongwu's death. At that time, the whole country of Wei Wei was waiting to see Xiao Jue's jokes. A sixteen-year-old boy with so many soldiers, even his father couldn't win a foreign soldier, he was sure to lose no matter how he looked at it.

Who knew that the first battle was so victorious that Nanban retreated steadily afterwards, and Xiao Jue really calmed down Nanban's turmoil, but it took only half a year.

"Do you know how he won the battle of Hase?"

"Water Attack."

"Did you know?"

He Yan didn't speak, and the bamboo stick paused on the snow, poking a small hole.

"Then you also know that in the Battle of Changgu, Fengyun General Xiao Huaijin flooded Guocheng with water, and 60,000 people died." Lin Shuanghe held Xiao Jue's black cloak tighter, "At that time the body was floating, The east of the city is stinky, and Guocheng is like a **** on earth. It is unbearable to hear." He smiled and asked, "How do you think he is cruel and inhuman?"

He Yan calmly said: "War is cruel. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to the people of the country. What's more, no one knows the truth if he is not in that position. If it weren't for his cruelty, Human nature, perhaps the people drowned today are us."

Lin Shuanghe paused, turned to He Yan, and asked, "How could you think like this?"

"I just think that Governor Xiao is not such a person."

Lin Shuanghe stared at her as if he had seen He Yan for the first time.

He Yan asked: "What's wrong with what I said?"

For a long while, he shook his head and smiled, and said: "I was just surprised, you and Huai Jin believed in him in less than a year. Why was I not as firm as you when I heard about this?"

He Yan said in his heart that it was because Lin Shuanghe had not really been to the battlefield. I have seen people fighting on the battlefield, only to know how difficult it is for a general to make a decision. Xiao Jue is smart and calm. If there is no reason to do this, he doesn't need to be so, instead he will leave himself a bloodthirsty notoriety.

You must know that after the Battle of Changgu, although Xiao Jue defeated Nanban and attracted countless young people's respect and awe, many literati pointed their noses and cursed mercilessly and killed too many sins. After all, among the people drowned in the Battle of Hase, there were also Nanban civilians.

"Doctor Lin seems to know why he did this." He Yan asked, "Why?"

"I didn't know it at first." Lin Shuanghe sighed, "You said, with three thousand soldiers, against 60,000 people, what else can be done besides the water attack?"

"Three thousand soldiers?" He Yan suddenly raised his head: "Isn't it one hundred thousand soldiers from the Nanfu?"

"One hundred thousand?" Lin Shuanghe smiled: "If there are one hundred thousand Nanfu soldiers in hand, he doesn't have to take this method."

After Xiao Zhongwu's death, Mrs. Xiao followed. For a time, Xiao Mansion cried loudly and said in grief. At that time, Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in the First Battle, because of his self-control and command errors, which caused tens of thousands of Wei Sergeants to be buried on the battlefield.

His Majesty is kind, thinking about the many years of the Xiao family's merits, and does not hold Xiao Zhongwu for negligence, but at the same time, the military power is also taken back. Xiao Jue was only sixteen years old at that time, Xiao Jing was only eighteen, and Bai Rongwei had only been married and had this catastrophe less than half a year later. For a while, people were panicked and didn't know how to take the road in the future.

Lin Shuanghe still remembers the first time he saw Xiao Jue after the Xiao family's accident.

Young people are used to being cold and tired, as if nothing has ever been reflected in their hearts. But it also teaches people that there is nothing in the world that can beat him.

It's just that anyone who suffers from such a disaster in his home will inevitably be devastated, and no matter how bad it is, it will be very different from the past. But the Xiao Jue that Lin Shuanghe saw was not like that, except that he looked a little more haggard than before, he was not depressed in any way.

"Do you have any medicine to make people sleepy all day?" Xiao Jue asked.

Lin Shuanghe said: "My medicine store has it. If you want, I will get it for you right away."

Lin’s pharmacy was spread all over Dawei. Several shops were opened in the downtown area of ​​Shuojing alone. Lin Shuanghe ordered Xiaosi to go to the nearest pharmacy, took two of them, and handed it to him: “You can sleep for ten hours after eating. "He suddenly thought of something: "If you have insomnia at night, I can make a milder one for you."

Perhaps, Xiao Jue was unable to fall asleep all night due to sudden changes at home, and wanted to ask for medicine to calm the nerves and help sleep.

Xiao Jue took the medicine back into his sleeve, waved his hand to him, and said, "Thank you." He turned to leave.

"Huaijin!" Lin Shuanghe called him.

Xiao Jue stopped and looked at him.

"This medicine...is you using it?"

The young man’s eyebrows are exquisite and bright, his gaze crosses him, falls in the distance, at the far end, the towering palace is looming, he said calmly: "I want to enter the palace."

Lin Shuanghe is not a stupid person, he immediately understood Xiao Jue's intentions, and he said with horror: "Are you going to enter the palace without telling your eldest brother?"

"Tell him what to do." The boy lowered his head and smiled, "It's nothing more than annoying."

"You are crazy!" Lin Shuanghe said anxiously: "Do you know, now because of General Xiao, there is a mess in the center. Now no one dares to speak for General Xiao, Xu Xiangjin will be with him every day. Your Majesty, what do you know for?"

"I know." Xiao Jue said: "So what? Bingquan must return to Xiao's house."

"You are likely to die like this!"

Xiao Jue turned his head and looked at him steadily, "Then it's dead."

"You!"

"By the way, I want to ask you to help me if I have something." He started.

The young man's face rarely showed such a solemn expression. In Lin Shuanghe's heart, there was an ominous premonition for a moment. He whispered his lips and asked: "What's the matter?"

"If I come back alive, I will assume that this hasn't happened. If I die," he paused, "You don't have to collect the body for me. Doctor Lin can speak in front of the empress dowager. Please help my elder brother, this matter has nothing to do with him."

"What do you mean...you are dead?" Lin Shuanghe heard his trembling voice.

"It's very simple. Once tonight is over, either I will die today or he will die tomorrow." He was calm, as if it was someone else's business. "But I'm not sure about the outcome, so," he bent He curled his lips, "You can pray."

"Xiao Huaijin!"

The young man bowed deeply to him, and when he straightened, he only said two words.

"Thank you."

Lin Shuanghe's eyes are red.

Xiao Jue waved his hand: "Go back."

Lin Shuanghe did not move.

He laughed, turned and left by himself.

It was a long, long time ago, but at that time Xiao Jue's back figure seemed to be still standing in front of him. On the bustling downtown streets, the young man stands tall, but he is extremely lonely.

No one knows what kind of road he is going to take, but Lin Shuanghe knows one thing very well.

Xiao Jue will not look back.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he was interrupted by He Yan's words. He Yan asked, "So later, the Governor went into the palace by himself like this?"

Lin Shuanghe returned to his senses and continued to walk forward slowly, saying: "I didn't go into the palace with me, and what happened afterwards was also from my grandfather."

It started to rain that night.

The autumn rain is cool and cold, and it seems to be soaking in people's hearts. In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. If nothing happens to Xiao Zhongwu, Xiao Mansion should be busy arranging the banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival. But now it's bleak, and filial piety is everywhere.

The three people on the table were silent.

No one wants to move the food, Bai Rong said warmly: "Eat as much as you want. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it anymore."

They were all simple porridge and side dishes. After a moment of silence, Xiao Jing still picked up the bowl, he took a sip, then put it down, and said: "Huaijin, tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace with you." /

Xiao Jue: "Okay."

Bai Rongwei asked: "In the palace...what do you do?"

"The Xiao family has no military power, and sooner or later it will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered." Xiao Jing said: "In any case, the Nanfu soldiers must return to the Xiao family, otherwise..."

Otherwise, the Xiao family doesn't know how long it will last.

"Then, even if your majesty returns the military power to us, what should we do in the future?" Bai Rong said with a small heart and wings, "Rubi, you are a doctor, even if Huai Jin is a martial artist, he is only sixteen years old. ."

Xiao Jing's movements stopped.

He had to admit the fact that there is no one in the Xiao family. Even though Xiao Jue had different talents, he was only sixteen and he was a half-old boy. How could he lead tens of thousands of Nanfu soldiers?

Difficult to convince the crowd.

"There are so many things I can do at the age of sixteen." Xiao Jue casually picks up vegetables, "Big brother, you will only accomplish nothing."

Xiao Jing sighed and said: "No, let's take a step and take a step. Now, there is no other way to go."

"Will your Majesty return the military power to us?" Bai Rong said in a sad voice: "Xu Xiang's power is now overwhelming, so he won't let this opportunity to deal with the Xiao family go."

"Yes." The young man lazily poured tea for them, "Don't be afraid, Xu Jingfu is just a mortal."

No one speaks anymore.

Ye Yu continued to patter next to each other, and the servant helped Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing back to the bed.

Xiao Jue stood up, put on his outer clothes, and went out.

Outside, Fei Nu was waiting. The rain fell on the ground, smashing puddles and ripples, soaking all the white lanterns hanging in the doorway.

Xiao Jue stopped at the door.

Fei Nu said: "Master."

He bowed his head and told the butler: "Take care of them." He turned to the carriage.

"Let's go."

It disappeared into the night.

The carriage drove to the palace, where the current prime minister Xu Jingfu was playing chess with Emperor Wen Xuan.

The palace man came to report: "Your Majesty, the second son of General Guangwu's mansion, please see me."

Emperor Wen Xuan's chess action paused, "Xiao Huaijin? What is he doing?"

"Xu did it for his father." Xu Jingfu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, be careful." He picked up a sunspot.

"You, don't take advantage of my distractions," Wen Xuan scolded with a smile, "cunning."

Xu Jingfu also laughed: "Your Majesty let the old minister."

The two of them joked and played chess again, seeming to have forgotten Xiao Jue. The time for a stick of incense has passed, and the palace people came in again to remind: "Your Majesty, the second son of Xiao is still waiting outside the gate of the palace, it is still raining outside."

"Go back when it rains," Emperor Wenxuan was worrying about the chess game in front of him, "What are you waiting for."

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Xu Jingfu said: "The second son of Xiao's family has undergone drastic changes, and he is still a child. There are certainly many grievances in his heart. It is better to let the old minister go out and persuade him. It is best to persuade him back."

"Go ahead." Emperor Wen Xuan waved his hand impatiently: "The previous dynasty was also Xiao Zhongwu's business, and the next dynasty was still not able to get rid of it. All day long, it is the Xiao family and Xiao family. ! Go and come back quickly, I have to accompany me to finish this game when I come back."

Xu Jingfu got up and saluted respectfully: "Yes."

When I left the hall door, I saw Xiao Jue kneeling at the door waiting at a glance.

Xu Jingfu had his sixtieth birthday. When he was young, he had served in the Imperial Academy, and his students were all over the world. Wei's outstanding young son Lang has something to do with him to some extent. Even if Xiao Jue is not his student, but Xiao Jue is outstanding, he has also heard of it. I once saw Xiao Jue during a royal hunt, and I also remember that the white-robed young man was so handsome, as if the pearl was dizzy, and compared to others.

Xu Jingfu once sighed in his heart, such an outstanding young man, if his Xu family is so good, unfortunately, it would be cheaper than Xiao Zhongwu's barbarian.

He stood still in front of Xiao Jue and said: "Second Young Master Xiao."

The young man raised his head and looked at him, "Master Xu."

"It's raining so hard outside, why don't Second Young Master Xiao wait outside without opening an umbrella." He told the palace staff, "Come here, give Second Young Master Xiao an umbrella."

The palace man stood behind Xiao Jue holding an umbrella, Xu Jingfu made a gesture to help him up, as if the elders really cared about the juniors: "What are you still doing on your knees, get up quickly."

Xiao Jue did not move, and said: "I want to see your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is busy right now. If there is anything really going to happen to the Second Young Master Xiao, he won't be in a hurry to come back tomorrow. It is already very late, and your Majesty will have to rest after being busy. It is not a good time to face the saint."

The young man was unmoved, only repeating: "Master Xu, I have to see your Majesty today."

Xu Jingfu stepped back two steps, put his hands in his sleeves and looked at him, with a kind smile on his face, "Second Young Master Xiao, Your Majesty is kind, and he used to be a meritorious person from the Xiao family, who loves you very much. Now your father Responsibility, the battle of Mingshui caused the great Wei soldiers to be defeated. It should be held accountable. It is your Majesty who read the old sentiment points and opened the net. How can you make an inch without knowing what is good or bad?"

Yueyu drifted diagonally, sneaking in from under the umbrella, dampening the boy's clothes. His eyebrows were handsome, his expression was calm, and his voice was no longer half lazy and romantic, and said: "Sir Xu said that."

Xu Jingfu's smile remained unchanged.

"So," Xiao Jue raised his head and looked at him, "I beg Master Xu to be accommodating with Your Majesty, Xiao Jue would like to see Your Majesty."

"Second Young Master Xiao was joking, why does the old man want to accommodate your majesty for you?" Xu Jingfu asked.

The young man looked at him and bowed his head slightly: "Please Master Xu to make it happen."

The arrogance of a young man is the least able to withstand damage. Sometimes the spine bends so gently and can't stand up anymore.

Xiao Zhongwu Ruoquan knows how to see him, the proud second son, kneeling in front of him now, asking for mercy and charity. What kind of expression would it be?

For an instant, Xu Jingfu didn't want to immediately drive him to a dead end. People who watched pride fell into the mortal world, were stepped into the mud, and their self-esteem was trampled on worthless, much more interesting than this.

He raised his head slightly, and said in distress: "Second Young Master Xiao, it's not that the old man doesn't help you. It's just that your Majesty is mad at the Xiao family now. Even if he is an old man, it is difficult for him to intervene in this matter."

Xiao Jue only said: "Lord Xu, please make it happen."

Xu Jingfu stared at him, for a long while, he said: "If the second son of Xiao insists on seeing your majesty, it is better to receive the punishment yourself. Xiao family is wearing the body of sin. If the second son can survive, your majesty will see it, and his heart will be fired. After a few minutes, the old man can speak for Xiao Er Gongzi."

"Master Xu, please advise."

"You are young now, and you can hardly bear more punishments. Let's get fifty boards first." He said.

These words were very relaxed, as if they had already opened up to Xiao Jue, the palace man next to him bowed his head and did not speak, but he was surprised in his heart.

Fifty boards, a slightly weaker body can kill you. Even if you are an ordinary person, you can lose half of your life if you go down with 50 boards. It will be difficult if you don't support a year or a half.

Xiao Jue said: "Okay."

Xu Jingfu smiled: "Second Young Master is really like a father." He turned around and ordered the people behind him, "Take Second Young Master Xiao down to get the board."

Yeyu swiftly, fifty boards fell on people, not as easy as imagined, especially the palace servants who executed the torture, and they were deliberately "explained" by Xu Jingfu.

The boy said nothing, gritted his teeth and carried it down. After fifty boards, he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips, slowly propped up and stood up.

When I stood up, my footsteps were a little vain, and I almost couldn't stand firmly, and the palace man beside him looked a little bit unbearable. The second son of Xiao, a fox and fur, was expensive and magnificent, and now he is so embarrassed, who could have expected? No one expected it.

Xu Jingfu was not interested in watching Xiao Jue hit the board. He entered the hall and talked with Emperor Wen Xuan first.

Emperor Wen Xuan said: "Did you mean to drive him away?"

"Your Majesty," Xu Jingfu shook his head, "Second Young Master Xiao insists on seeing your Majesty, and the old ministers can't persuade him. Young people, full of energy, really want to look for things, and the nine cows can't be pulled back. Now General Guangwu is no longer there. His mother... The old minister also saw him as pitiful. Your Majesty might as well meet him and listen to what he says. If you don’t speak well, let him go out and you’ll be fine next time."

Emperor Wen Xuan sighed: "Aiqing's heart is softened."

"Your Majesty is kind."

"Fine," Emperor Wen Xuan told the palace, "I watched him grow up anyway, let him come in."

The outside of the hall was extremely cold, and the hall was extremely warm. There was no nowhere to avoid the night rain, only the scent of flowers that made people dizzy. The lights were dazzling, and someone came.

He knelt down in front of Emperor Wenxuan and said: "Chen, see your Majesty."

"Free ceremony." Emperor Wen Xuan said casually, raising his eyes to look at Xiao Jue. As soon as he saw Xiao Jue, he was stunned and asked: "How did you become like this?"

It has been raining outside, and Xu Jingfu's impressive umbrella only lasted for less than a moment. He was wet and embarrassed, and because he had just passed fifty boards, his body was extremely weak, his face was like gold paper, and his lips were pale, as if he was about to faint in the next moment.

Very different from the past.

Looking at growing up, Emperor Wen Xuan couldn't help but feel compassion, moved a bit of real care, he slowed down his tone, and said: "Tell me, someone bullied you?"

"No." Xu Jingfu stood aside and replied: "Second Young Master Xiao knows that the Xiao family is guilty, so he takes a fifty-fifth penalty on his own, so as to teach him to feel better, and let your majesty know the regretful heart of the Xiao family. ."

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at him and sighed, "Fifty boards...too much too."

"Second Young Master Xiao is also grateful for His Majesty's benevolence." Xu Jingfu smiled.

"Why did you come to me?" Emperor Wen Xuan said, "I don't want to mention anything about the Xiao family anymore."

Xiao Jue's gaze swept over the chess game on the table. On the chess game, black and white pieces were intertwined and scattered, and under the warm lights, a gloomy coldness appeared.

Like life is strange, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

But the past is past, and it is impossible to predict, create the future.

The young man leaned over, his voice calm, with an unstoppable stubbornness, he said every word.

"Chen, I beg your majesty for permission, I would like to personally lead the Nanfu soldiers to enter Mingshui again and go to the Nanban."
