The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 38: Loyalty and doubt (part 2)

Beside the uninhabited official road, behind a lush grove, a clear and bottomless river winds out. This grove is very sparse, and a road that can accommodate a carriage goes deep into the forest. With Jiubao, you can see at a glance that there are four or five wide thatched huts in the forest, with wine flags on the doors. This must be a good place for tourists to hit the tip at noon. Although it is the time of war, the wine in the forest is faint, and it seems that the business has not ceased business, but it is not surprising to say that this is not the main direction of the Yong army's march, so many people's lives are still as usual, just too much. I felt a little uneasy. The common people are like this. As long as they don't have a sword, they have to live as usual, otherwise how can their livelihood be supported this year.

Duan Wudi has changed into the casual clothes of a traveler, covered with a cloak, and wore a top Xinyang hat on his head. This kind of hat is a standing thing for people on the street. It is quite convenient to protect from wind and rain. The drape can hide the face. The spring and autumn winds are strong in the Northern Han Dynasty, and even men like to use it to cover wind and dust. He galloped all the way, not caring about his horsepower. Although the Yong army has not yet stationed troops in this area, there are many scouts who often come and go. He can only avoid it as much as possible. At this moment, he can't help but feel sad and rushes, trying to let himself go unintentionally. Lamenting the long way ahead. Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, he felt a little sleepy, and the horses under the seat were also sweaty. He couldn't help but look into the distance and saw the wine flag on the side of the road. He moved in his heart. He hurried out and didn't prepare the dry food. It's better to go in for a rest, buy some dry food by the way, and pack some village wine for food on the road. Here, I am afraid it is difficult to find the top spot. Thinking of this, he rode his horse into the woods, and walked to the front of the wild shop not long, only to see the shop door opened wide, the square tables inside were very clean, there were already a few guests inside, sitting next to the rightmost table. A middle-aged shopkeeper in his forties is serving wine and food with a smile. Seeing the leisurely atmosphere, Duan Wudi felt wide, tied his horse to the tree in front of the store, walked into the store, and said loudly: "Bring some good wine and food, I'll be on my way later." After that, I picked up the leftmost table and sat down, and dropped a piece of silver on the table.

The shopkeeper hurriedly moved forward to wipe the table, dexterously caged the silver in his sleeve with his left hand, poured hot tea, and enthusiastically said: "Keye has worked hard all the way, although the small shop is remote, but there are still delicacies and games. Good old wine, the guest will wait a while." After talking, he shouted inside: "Little San, quickly bring good wine and good food." Following his shouts, a straight-faced young man carried the wine and food from the inside. When he came out, this young man was in his twenties, with a stubborn back and a bearish look. He looked silly, obviously lacking in intelligence. He stupidly put a plate of peanuts and a plate of pig's head meat on the table, and from the large wine tank in the corner of the shop. A pot of old wine was placed in front of Duan Wudi, and then he went back to the inner room, and then heard the spatula rattle. Not long after, a few game dishes were brought up, and a table was full of meat and vegetables, and the aroma was tangy.

Duan Wudi only felt hungry, but he was still vigilant. He looked at the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally, and saw a total of four people opposite, sitting above a middle-aged man in merchant attire, who seemed to be the owner, and left and right. They are all bodyguards, look bold and brave, and there is a man in Tsing Yi with his back facing him. Although he can't see his face, his hair is light gray. It must be a young person, but he is not old when he sees his back. Fifty people, he only uses a hosta to tie his hair, and there is no modification other than that. Wearing a blue shirt, he must be a first-class figure of Mr. Tent. After taking a closer look, these people didn't look like people in the army. Determined that these people should not be chasing soldiers, Duan Wudi breathed a sigh of relief and began to gorge himself.

Leaving Yangyi in a hurry, he hasn’t eaten for most of the day. He is hungry, and his eating is naturally difficult to look at. After eating seven or eight minutes full, he begins to relax. Although the old wine in this shop is country wild brew, it is It was sweet and spicy, and his intentions were still unfinished. He wanted to pour a glass again. Who knew it was dripping out. He frowned and couldn't help but ask for another pot. He seldom drank alcohol on weekdays. It was not because of bad alcohol volume, but unwilling. Having missed the military opportunity, now that he has fallen into this field, he is naturally a little less restrained. He drank a few cups in a row, only to feel a lot more relaxed on his body, and the tiredness gradually disappeared. Wine is one of the most confusing things. When people relax, they can’t help thinking and thinking about their loyalty, but they are charged with a rebellious charge. They are forced to leave in a hurry. There was even more grief and loneliness in his expression. Without knowing that his mood fell in the eyes of several people on the opposite side, the man in Tsing Yi had his back facing Duan Wudi, but a special small copper pot reflected Duan Wudi's figure in it. The person saw it, and his face flashed with sadness. The color of pity.

Drinking more wine, Duan Wudi felt top-heavy and drunk, and couldn't help chanting loudly: "The seedlings of Emperor Gaoyang Xi, the emperor Kao is called Boyong. The photo is in Meng Zhuxi, Wei Geng. Since Yinwu...." This famous piece by Quzi is his favorite work in his life. Although he is not very well-versed in history, he loves this song "Li Sao" and memorizes it backwards. His voice has been tormented for many days. , Inevitably hoarse and low, but sincere and sincere, sighing, he chanted, "I am more than the kindness of my heart, even though I have died, I have not regretted it", he repeatedly chanted, but he couldn't chant anymore. , Wipe away the tears, and drink up again.

At this moment, I only heard someone start chanting after this sentence. The human voice was like golden jade, with a long rhyme. Duan Wudi could hear him rapturously. He could not drink from the cup, and the man chanted to the point of "sucking down the heart and suppressing the will." Xi, forbearance and criticism. Fu Qingbai is straightforward with death, solidifying the strength of the former sage." In one sentence, Duan Wudi's heart became more and more painful, until the last sentence of the man chanted: "The chaos is gone! There is no one in the country. I know it, and why don’t I have the same old capital! I will live in Peng Xian’s place as long as I am incapable of doing it!” At that time, Duan Wudi suddenly woke up. How could anyone in the village barn shop and merchants recite? Qu Zi's poem, he looked up, only to see the few guests on the opposite side, and the other three people were drinking silently. It must be the person who recites the poem with his back.

Perhaps feeling his gaze, the gray-haired man turned around and smiled: "I see the general sad and unable to recite the entire chapter. I saw the rise of hunting for a while and recite it completely for you. It must have disturbed the general's drinking. Please forgive me."

Duan Wudi's heart jumped. How did this man know his identity? He looked carefully and saw this gray-haired man Xingshuang on the temples, but his appearance was elegant and handsome, handsome and handsome, he still looked like a youth, and he was relaxed and relaxed. , It gives birth to admiration at first sight. The figure of this person actually felt familiar, and there was an inspiration in his heart. Duan Wudi only felt the bitterness in his mouth. He drank the strong alcohol in his glass. He calmly said: "How lucky is Duan? To."

I am not surprised that Duan Wudi sees through my identity. After all, the appearance of my white hair is too easy to identify. I pretend to be a merchant and two bodyguards. They are both white masters who accompanied the army this time. The aura of a man in the army concealed Duan Wudi's eyes and ears. Now that I saw my identity leaked, he immediately stood up to protect me, and when the door curtain inside was picked, Li Shun walked out slowly, behind him, pretending to be the shopkeeper The two secret spies and the buddy Xiaosan also recovered their sturdy looks, and there were two more figures at the door of the store, it was Su Qing and Hu Yanshou, the suppressed breathing and the sound of weapons being unsheathed faintly outside the store. , Obviously this wild shop has become a net of heaven and earth, and Duan Wudi is the bird in the net, and there is no way to escape.

Duan Wudi also understands the current situation in his heart. When things come to an end, he is as calm as a mountain, but he slowly poured himself another glass of wine, and toasted inviting him: "Since Hou Ye returned to the East China Sea, our army has repeatedly encountered Frustration, General Tan and General Long died one after another. General Shi was forced to exterminate himself. Duan was charged with treason, but he fell into the trap of Hou Ye. Hou Ye’s wisdom is indeed earth-shattering. It’s just that Hou Ye is a daughter, why is he involved alone? If you want to take the life of Duan, you only need a team of cavalry or a few guards, so why go to the dangerous place in person." The last sentence implies a sneer, but his expression is very calm, and he doesn't seem to be in a trap.

I didn't feel the slightest pride in my heart, but a little frustrated. I made many arrangements to force this man to leave. From the moment he left Yangyi, at least hundreds of people monitored his whereabouts. It was calculated that this place must be where he hit the top, and I controlled it until he fell into the net. I hope to give him a good start and frustrate his aspirations. But even if this man fell into my palm, he was still so calm and indifferent, as if he had already expected this scene. For such a determined person, I can destroy his life glory, but I cannot destroy his will. With a premonition of failure, I can only sigh secretly, ready to give it a try regardless of success or failure.

With a bitter smile, I said: "Although Jiang was designed to frame the general, it is because I expected Princess Jiaping would not harm Zhongliang. However, the princess cannot compete with many people in the North Han Dynasty, and can only let the general fly away. The general wanted to escape, so he could only go to the East China Sea. Although the East China Sea would return to Dayong sooner or later, it was a way of life. Taking Jiang Hou as a man would pretend not to know the general’s whereabouts even if he knew the general’s whereabouts. So Jiang was deliberately Waiting for the general here, with such a heart-to-heart fist, the general should not be so indifferent even if he doesn’t appreciate it. Isn’t it letting down his sincerity?"

Duan Wudi's heart was turned around, and he had already figured out many questions, and said: "The Fourth Young Master Qiu was trapped in the East China Sea, but this time he returned safely. Did Hou Ye expect the Fourth Young Master to protect Duan's life?"

I secretly praised in my heart, this man hit the nail on the head, said that he broke my mind, and said: "Yes, I used to put Yufei under house arrest in the East China Sea, because he is a natural master, I don't want him to participate in this battle, but now the overall situation is over. Certainly, I still have something to do with others, so I specially invited him back, but there is another purpose for the general, otherwise he will stay in the East China Sea for at least half a month. Yufei is a man of temperament, and he was a matter of quartz in the past. I am also involved in this matter. I wronged the general for this matter. Even if others do not believe in the loyalty of the general, Yufei definitely will not suspect that the general is treason. He is aloof and independent. Even if Princess Jiaping had to harm the general, he would also take action. Rescuing the general. Although Yufei's whereabouts are elusive and difficult to track, after all, Qinzhou can be said to have been in the hands of our army. Ji family worshipped General Long, peeped at Qi Wang’s camp in Pingyao, and rushed to Yangyi to rescue the general. I’m afraid General Duan doesn’t know, Xiao Tong was ordered to come, in case Princess Jiaping let you escape, he wanted to chase you down, but Yufei stopped him."

Duan Wudi flashed gratitude in his eyes and said: "The fourth son of Autumn is grateful for his life-saving, but I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to thank him in person. If Hou Ye meets him again, please thank Duan. ."

I frowned, deliberately ignoring his faintly revealed death aspirations, and said: "There are many generals in the Northern Han Dynasty. Jiang Mou admires the generals most. The generals are loyal and loyal, regardless of reputation, honor or disgrace. The general's talent, especially General Long and Princess Jiaping, but it’s a pity that they were born in a poor family and there is no one to rely on, so they did not have the opportunity to be the chief general. If the general is willing to serve Dayong, the emperor and the king of Qi will definitely be ecstatic. Although General Xuan has been insulted by the general, but The general is also very praised. If the general is willing to return to Dayong, he will certainly not lose his position as a prince. If he does not intend to draw a shadow, the general has always cherished the people. If he is willing to serve Dayong, he will certainly be able to consider the soldiers and civilians of the North Han Dynasty. Do you know that the general will continue to sacrifice his reputation for the people of the North Han Dynasty?"

Duan Wudi smiled and drank from a toast. He felt like fire was in his throat. He held down his sword at his waist and said, "No matter how you talk, you can't shake Duan's mind. Betrayal is betrayal. Mou was a courtier of the Northern Han Dynasty. It is not uncommon for the riches and honors granted by Emperor Dayong. As for the people of the Northern Han Dynasty of Zhouquan, this is just an excuse. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have Duan Mou in this world. My people in the Northern Han Dynasty are naturally the best. If they can’t, I have a righteous man. Although Duan does not cherish his reputation, he definitely has no chance of surrendering. Hou Ye also said that Duan’s stigma is mostly given by Hou Ye. Really, is it true that Duan will break the tank and fall, really bend his knees and surrender? Hou Ye is aloft today. I don't know how he dreamed back at midnight and remembered how Nan Chu felt."

I smiled bitterly, Duan Wudi was determined. I thought that when the country is difficult to run, the home is difficult to return, and I am in trouble, this person's heart may be shaken. Unexpectedly, he is so persistent. Or seeing me being slammed by Duan Wudi, Li Shun said coldly: "My son Haosheng advises you, how rude you are, don't you know that you are in a dead place, and you only need a command from the son to die. Afterwards, my son again announced that you have surrendered to Dayong, and you are ruined even if you die. Even if you are brave and loyal, who knows, I am afraid that even Princess Jiaping and the Fourth Young Master will treat you as treason."

Duan Wudi faintly smiled, pressing his sword hilt and said: "You don’t need to order from Lord Hou, Duan is absolutely okay. As for the honor and disgrace outside of the body, Duan doesn’t take it seriously. No need to be ashamed, what's the point? Besides, there are some things that can't be wrapped in paper, and it will come to light eventually."

A fierce murderous intent flashed in Li Shun's eyes, and he said coldly: "You may not be able to find death in front of me." As he took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Duan Wudi. Duan Wudi's expression was cold, and he drew his sword with his right hand. When everyone's eyes were on his right hand, his left hand pulled out a dagger from the side of his leg like lightning, and pierced it toward his lower abdomen. At the moment he pulled out the dagger, Su Qing's hand was about to shoot out a double-edged needle, but a thought flashed in her heart, instead of letting him suffer humiliation, let him die, she lowered her eyes and did not send out Originally wanted to shoot a needle on Duan Invincible's wrist. But when she heard a painful groan in her ears, she looked up in surprise, but saw Li Shun's left hand pinching Duan Wudi's throat, and the dagger had reached Li Shun's right hand. Su Qing's heart tightened, and wherever his gaze flowed, he saw a pair of warm eyes looking at him with interest. His heart was shocked, and the double-edged needle fell into the dust.

Retracting my gaze, hiding the interesting scene in my heart, I waved to make Li Shun retreat, gently and honestly: "General Duan, your subordinates are rude, please don't be offended."

Duan Wudi fell into a slumped drowsiness, his drinkiness and the interruption of his breathing made him dizzy, letting Li Shun remove the long sword from his waist, and then poured a glass of strong wine into his mouth, he woke up again, smiled bitterly, and looked up. When I went, I saw that handsome young man standing in front of him, holding a silk scarf in his hand, and a pair of cold eyes looking at him coldly behind him, Duan Wudi only felt cold, like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake. Generally, I dare not tamper. Knowing that he did something inappropriate, he would really fall into the dilemma of life and death. He took the silk scarf and wiped off the stains on his face. His heart was clear, and there was only one way to get rid of this situation.

Looking at Jiang Zhe, Duan Wudi said in a deep voice: "I once talked with the Fourth Young Master Qiu in detail, and knew a little bit about Lord Hou. Although the world said Lord Hou was vicious, I thought Lord Hou was a man of temperament. The prince of Nanchude treated Hou Ye coldly, but Hou Ye never said anything bad. Hou Ye did his best for the great Yong world, and died after death. This kind of love is known to all. Want to come to Hou Ye to face Fengyimen in the past At the time of the Lord, he also had the courage to disregard his life and death. Duan was not talented, even if he could not survive or die, he also had the courage to face it. He would never bow to his knees, but since Lord Hou had a lot of love for Duan, Why should Duan be forced to do this? If you can achieve all Duan's loyalty, Duan will also be grateful under Jiuquan."

I sighed slightly and looked into Duan Wudi's eyes, only to feel that his eyes were steadfast and without fear. My heart became more bitter, knowing that this time it was really futile. At this time, Su Qing stepped forward with a sad tone, and said, "Master Hou, I will ask you to fulfill him in the end." As soon as he said this, Duan Wudi couldn't help looking at Su Qing, his eyes full of gratitude. , Su Qing's heart became more hurt and turned his head, unwilling to see this situation.

I shook my head slightly, stepped back a few steps, and turned around. Li Shun knew clearly, handed the long sword back, and stepped back. Su Qing felt a pain in her heart, knowing that this meant to make Duan Wudi to extinct herself, and couldn't bear to look on, she took a step back gently and turned her face away. Hu Yanshou saw that he panned half a step lightly to cover most of Su Qing's figure. He was worried, and Su Qing had acted improperly. He worried that if Duan Invincible exterminated himself, if Su Qing had any strong reaction, he would suffer. Jiang Zhe was jealous, so he blocked her figure.

Duan Wudi's heart was half joy and half sorrow, and he stood up and said, "Thank you for the grace of Lord Hou." His eyes flashed over Hu Yanshou and Su Qing. He was a thoughtful person, and he saw the strangeness at a glance. , Smiled slightly, he bowed to Jinyang, and said sadly: "Invincible students can't defend the community. After death, I only hope that the soul will return to his hometown and protect the hometown."

Somehow, my heart was hot, and I cried out: "Wait a minute." Li Shun was prepared, snapped his fingers, and Duan Wudi felt his hand numb, and his sword fell to the ground. He was shocked and said angrily: " Could it be that Hou Ye wanted to turn back and tease Duan." At this moment, he was really angry and stood up. Although he was immediately blocked by someone to prevent him from getting into trouble, his anger was fierce and his eyes were almost blood-red.

I smiled slightly and said: "The general rest assured, I will never change my mind. I just want to give the general another choice. If the general is unwilling, please stop it by yourself. Jiang will never stop it."

Duan Wudi looked at Li Shun and the others, knowing that he wouldn't be able to listen if he didn't want to, so he said angrily: "Hou Master has something to say, please.

I said word by word: "I want to let the general go. I don't know what the general wants?"

Duan Wudi felt a huge shock in his heart, but he quickly said with a smile: "Master Hou wants to be a joke, Duan is not talented. If he is in the position of Master Hou today, he will never let the bird out of the cage. "

I walked to the table and sat down, waved to indicate that everyone except Li Shun would retreat, and then asked Duan Wudi to sit opposite. Duan Wudi hesitated and walked over. He had already put everything aside and simply indulged.

I smiled and said: "Jiang must not be secretive. In the past, it was an act of disloyalty to depart from Nanchu and seek refuge in His Royal Highness Yong Wang. Now he married Princess Ningguo Changle and his minister married the emperor’s wife, which is even more unfaithful. , Later generations will inevitably criticize me, even if I leave it for thousands of years, I don’t care about the appearance of my name, because the choice of the day was my willingness, and there is no reluctance."

Duan Wudi could only listen to Jiang Zhe's sudden words.

I remembered the past, with a look of nostalgia on my face, and said: "In fact, Jiang was not without the scruples of loyalty and fame at the beginning. General Duan should know that Jiang was captured by my current emperor in Yongdu. ."

Duan Wudi nodded and said: "The final will know that Lord Hou was already a commoner. At that time, Lord Yong personally invited him. Lord Hou refused to serve him, so he went to Yongdu for his Royal Highness. After **** his clothes, pushing food, and being respectful and loving, he finally moved the Lord Hou and changed his family." At the last sentence, the irony was already strong.

But I didn’t care, and said indifferently: “In fact, how the actions of those so-called courtesy corporals can shake my mind. Who is not the ruler of the world? When starting a business, I will treat my courtiers as close relatives. It’s the birds hiding in the bows, the rabbits dying and the dogs cooking, some mediocre monarchs, and even cutting off their wings before major events. Jiang Mou had some mundane concerns on that day, but he didn’t need to serve others, so I made up my mind and refused to serve. King Yong, even making things difficult, forced His Royal Highness to let go. His Majesty was a general and naturally refused to let me go gently, and he had no choice but to make up his mind to grant me a death."

Hearing this, Duan Wudi took a deep breath. Knowing this secret, he couldn't help but become interested, and asked: "Then how did Hou Ye serve His Royal Highness?"

I proudly said: "Jiang naturally had a life-saving strategy. The world's hegemon, most of the talents prospered with me, and those who opposed me died. I forced King Yong to give poisoned wine, just wanting to escape from death. At that time, the heaven and the earth will leave me at ease and treat me with all things. If I still have my life, I will find a clean place. It is a pleasure in life."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help showing emotion, and continued: "Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhe is confident that I can predict the whole world's minds, but I finally lost to His Royal Highness Yong Wang. When His Royal Highness turned out to be critical, he poured out the poisonous wine, Jin Helmet Shengjiu strengthens my behavior. Jiang is not talented. He also knows that there are few people in the world who can contend with me, but His Royal Highness can let it go. Such a benevolent lord, how can I fail the justice for the sake of the small section, so I finally become a subject Your Highness, from then on, monarchs and ministers have each other, like a fish in water, even today."

A glimmer of admiration flashed in Duan Wudi’s eyes, but he quickly said: "Although the emperor of Da Yong is benevolent, but after all, he is not the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. If Master Hou thinks this can persuade Duan to surrender, please forgive Duan. Recognize promotion."

I shook my hand and smiled: "No, the general was very determined. At that time, Wushuang, I knew that the general was absolutely unwilling to defeat the people of Beihan Sheji, and I also knew that the general, please exterminate yourself because you don’t believe that I will let the general leave. Go."

Duan Wudi was silent. This was an obvious fact.

I said indifferently: "Indeed, the general is a famous general and he is loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty. If I say that I am willing to let the general go, no one will believe it, but Jiang just remembered the past, the emperor. It is impossible to love talents and spare my life. I deeply admire the general as a human being. If I let go of the general today, there is nothing wrong with it. So as long as the general promises me one thing, I will let the general go. ."

Duan Wudi showed a mixed look of suspicion and expectation in his eyes, but he remained silent.

I affirmed once again: "Jiang's heart can be shown every day. The general only has to promise me something, and I will let the general go."

Duan Wudi hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Please Hou Ye's instructions, but there are some things that Duan will not agree to."

I understood in my heart, and said: "Don't worry, I will not embarrass you. I know that you want to transfer from Binzhou to Nanchu. If you agree not to go to Nanchu, I will let you go." /

Duan Wudi frowned and said, "Sooner or later, the East China Sea will belong to Dayong. How can Duan stay in the enemy's territory?"

Listening to him, I knew that he was already tempted, and said: "Even so, there are many places to go besides Nanchu. In recent years, people from the Central Plains often go to sea with ships, or go to Korea, or As far as Nanyang countries are concerned, if the general is willing to leave the Central Plains, he will naturally no longer be an enemy of Dayong. I just indulge you. The emperor and His Royal Highness Qi also talked about the past. I don’t know what the general will think? "

Duan Wudi was silent for a long while. If the Northern Han Dynasty was subjugated, what would happen to Nanchu? If the Northern Han Dynasty did not perish, even if he was overseas, what was the point? Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "I will finally agree to this condition. Exactly."

I smiled slightly and said, "In this case, the general please go to Binzhou on your own, and look for Haili, the young master of the Hai's shipping line. He will arrange for the general to leave the Central Plains~IndoMTL.com~ Duan Wudi asked suspiciously: "Master Hou often doesn't leave a little room with his tactics. Why is it that I am so generous today? Is it just for me to remind Master Hou of the past? "

I stood up, Xiao Shunzi put on a cyan cloak for me, walked to the door, I stopped, and said lightly: "I always use other people's shortcomings. Only this time, It was the general’s loyalty and benevolence. Perhaps it was for this reason that I was very guilty to the general. In the future, you will stay away from Middle-Earth, drifting and helpless. This kind of life is only slightly better than death. It’s not lenient. It’s just that the general needs to remember that if you want to take advantage of my kindness, Jiang’s revenge will also make the general regret it. Although General Su broke his favor with you, she pleaded for you today, and still has the old friendship. If you don't want to get her tired, just stay overseas for a few years. By then, the Northern Han Dynasty has already died out. If you are willing to come back, there is no hindrance."

Duan Wudi was standing in the middle of the shop, the sound of horseshoes was heard in his ears, his heart was mixed, and he slowly picked up the long sword and returned it to its sheath. Is the ray of light in the dark another world?

Sitting on the horse, the corner of my eyes flashed, Su Qing bowed his head and said nothing, thinking that she and Duan Wudi still have a relationship, but there is national enmity and hatred between the two, I am afraid that it is a mandarin dream. With a slight smile, I looked to the north. In the past few days, the emperor has issued four secret edicts in succession, let me go to Xinzhou to see him. Now that the army is about to encircle, only need to act on behalf of the state, the Jinyang offensive can be carried out. The generals of Zezhou Daying are already very harmonious, and there is no internal worries. My duty is over. I haven't seen it for several years. It's no wonder that the emperor is anxious and summoned me to meet. I will resist the decree again and again, not again and again. I should set off quickly. Looking up at the sky, I only feel that the wind is clear and the clouds are light, which makes me relaxed and happy, but I don't know if that stupid boy Chiji is still alive now?
