When the Gongnan returns, it is known that it is inevitable that he will send all his heart and abdomen to the generals. Therefore, he is rarely involved, but the eldest son of the father is ordered to abandon the city, and he will be transferred to Nanmin. When the public died, there was snow all over the sky, like Zhang Gong’s loneliness and loyalty, and people knew that he was afraid of each other. He led a heavy army to encircle the Qiao’s Garden. There were righteous men who entered. Therefore, this sincerity cannot be tolerated. When the public is dead, he is still uneasy. Ling Tiqi cuts the clouds in prison, and the messenger arrives in the jail. Seeing that the prison officers and sergeants are all in a dream, the clouds are already gone. There will be a total of forty-six members of the father’s beloved wife, young son, and maidservant.

If he wanted to kill him, the philosopher wanted to sacrifice and then die. The generals are Xu. Before Zhe played the Qin Ling, all the generals wept and couldn't raise the sword. Zhe Nai returned to Chuzhou.

——"The Southern Dynasties Chu Shi Jiang Suiyun Biography"

Ding Ming and others left Qiao’s Garden. Someone secretly helped escape the city. When they were a few miles outside the city, a group of figures appeared in the wind and snow, but more than a hundred knights were guarding a carriage. Wearing unmarked armor, sturdy and mighty, he is obviously a warrior who has survived a hundred battles. The leader is a green-robed general with a green gauze. Seeing Ding Ming's figure, his eyes flashed with joy, but his gaze flashed. Turning, but did not see the familiar figure, joy turned into disappointment.

Ding Ming stepped forward quickly, gave his Qingpao general, sorrowfully said: "The general refuses to wait for me to leave the city, I am afraid that it is already..." The voice did not stop, and tears were already coming.

The Qingpao general was silent when he heard the words, and it took a long time to say: "I have always known the general's temperament, but I can't help but hold it in case. Now that this is the case, you have tried your best. I can't leave the army too. For a long time, I can only rush back immediately."

Ding Ming leaned over and said: "Brother Shi Gaoyi, Ding admires him, Brother Huaixi is still guarding him, but he still asks Brother Shi to go quickly. If he is ordered in the future, Ding will never turn down, even the general In the martyrdom, the South Chu country cannot allow the Yong army to wreak havoc."

The Qingpao general sighed: "Brother Ding’s loyalty, Shi Mou is deeply impressed by the Five Neighbors. I am loved by the general but cannot save his life. I am extremely ashamed. If I can no longer hold Huaixi, except for one death. , There is no other way to atone for sins."

After that, the Qingpao general left, and the group of people rode away in the wind and snow. Ding Ming looked at the vigorous back of the Qingpao general, and sadness surged in his heart. Because of Lu Can, this person He has known each other for a long time, and the two fell in love with each other when they saw each other, and they became confidants. Originally, he also hated this person for being unjust, just for his own position, and even abandoned all his son-in-law and son-in-law, but this person sent him to Jianye to rescue Lu Can, and even took it personally at all costs. Originally, Ding Ming thought There are still doubts, but after meeting outside Jianye City, Ding Ming believes that this person is not false. Leaving the Chinese Army without permission is not a minor crime. If Shang Weijun knew about it, the best result would be dismissal, but this man ignored it at all, and he had no choice but to do what he did.

Shi Guanzong horse was galloping in the snow. I don’t know when the tears have slipped. Even if he cruelly abandoned his daughter that day, he did not cry. Before Lu Can was recalled to Jianye, he and Lu Yun knew that the situation was not good. The two secretly discussed how to deal with this situation. Shi Guan was worried about this situation a few years ago and offered advice to Lu Can. At that time, Lu Can asked him not to disrupt the overall military situation for the sake of personal friendship. Yun didn't hesitate to die, and he didn't want to ruin his father's loyalty. The two of them had the same mind, but they both worried about stone embroidery most. With the staunchness of stone embroidery, even if Shiguan could keep her safe, she would not hesitate to die. In desperation, Shi Guan discussed with Lu Yun. Shi Guan deliberately forced Shi Xiu to protect Lu Mei from fleeing, and then asked Lu Yun to entrust her with a weak sister and an unborn child. In this way, Shi Xiu could only survive. Don't die easily. In this way, Lu's cigarettes can be preserved, and Shi Guan can be trusted by Shang Weijun. Unexpectedly, Shixiu disappeared on the way to Zhongli, life and death unknown, Shi Guan was secretly searched for, but her daughter was never seen, which has made Shi Guan heartbroken. Now he went against Lu Can's intentions and joined Ding Ming to save Lu Can, but he failed. When he thought of his son-in-law, he couldn't save his life. How could he not let Shi Guan be desperate.

A group of people rode horses and galloped wildly, their sight was blocked by the wind and snow, and they were all bad news at first sight, their minds oscillated, and they couldn't help losing a bit of vigilance. When Shiguan rode a horse through a bend, the road was narrow, and All of his guards were staggered, and the tightly guarded riding array revealed a gap. At this moment, the piles of snow suddenly scattered in all directions, a white figure volleyed up in the sky, and the cold light appeared in his hands, and the training was also like that. The cold light was like the galaxy in the sky. It pierced Shi Guan’s heart vigorously. Shi Guan yelled and fisted away. The palm wind was like thunder. The man took a palm, but It was silent, and took advantage of the situation to rush into the snow. The guards behind were all yelling in horror. They shot deadly arrows almost at the same time. As soon as the figure fell on the ground, he threw himself into the distance. , The figure was so fast, the dozens of arrows that were as fast as meteor lightning plunged into the ground behind the man. In the second and third rounds, the arrows were almost chasing the figure of the man, but They were all missed by the slightest difference, and in a flash, the figure of that person had disappeared without a trace. At this time, Shi Guan's body slowly fell, and was hugged tightly by two guards who had thrown off the saddle and rolled down the horse. One of them was trembling and stretched out his hand to visit, sweat and tears drenched, unable to resist loud pain. Called: "The general is dead, the general is dead."

These sergeants all felt like five thunderstorms. The general died here. Not to mention that he couldn't explain to his fellow soldiers, he couldn't justify the court. After all, Shi Guan shouldn't have appeared outside Jianye City. Looking at the direction of the assassin's escape with murderous eyes, one of the leading guards said: "Half of the people sent the general back to Shouchun, immediately sent a letter to Yang Canjun, asking him to try to preside over the overall situation in Huaixi, and the other half would follow me. Go after the assassin, don’t avenge it, and never return to life.” The guards brazenly promised, they quickly divided into two groups, and even separated the two and went straight to Huaidong. In a flash, their pillars were already Collapse, at this moment, in their hearts, it is themselves who wish to die.

At this moment, Shi Guan’s body was lying quietly in the arms of his guards, and the flying snow fell on his frightened and angered face, as if to mourn the sudden passing of this Huaixi army chief, and also like mourning. So Nan Chu lost another general.

After breaking up with Ding Ming and others, the "Tianji Pavilion Master" in Na Ding Ming's mind did not leave the city, but went back to the secret residence of Tianji Pavilion in Jianye City. This is the residence of a wealthy businessman, but the last As soon as he entered, he opened up the secret rudder of the Tianji Pavilion. Walking into the warm spring pavilion, the white-clothed man sighed slightly and replaced the already embarrassed clothes. After entering the screen, there was already a bathing soup and brand new clothes. Not long after, the white-clothed man had already changed into a light black brocade. His handsome and gloomy face showed a touch of fatigue. He leaned on the soft couch and picked up a piano sheet and looked at it slowly, but his eyes were a little lost. It seems that I did not pay attention to the score. This white-clothed man, the so-called Tianji Pavilion Master, was Qiu Yufei, a direct disciple of Mozong.

He got Jiang Zhe’s biography that day, and invited him to Jingxiang for a while. Qiu Yufei knew that Jiang Zhe would have something to ask for. Although Jiang Zhe’s request can be agreed or not, but the two of them are thought of. Qiu Yufei would naturally not refuse the friendship, not to mention that he went to visit Jing Wuji on the way, and when he asked him for advice, Jing Wuji also deliberately asked him to take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, so Qiu Yufei came happily. After meeting in Gucheng, Qiu Yufei learned that Jiang Zhe had asked him to pretend to be the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. This made Qiu Yufei suddenly enlightened, and he immediately understood why Jiang Zhe would see through his identity in the first place. Jiang Zhe's potential is huge. In order to explore the depth of the Tianji Pavilion, Qiu Yufei was willing to be Jiang Zhe's stand-in and killer.

However, it’s a pity that the first thing Jiang Zhe entrusted was unsuccessful. Lu Can went to his death generously, and his own dignified disciple of the Demon Sect actually fell in front of Lu Can, which made Qiu Yufei's heart I was very depressed, not to mention seeing the fall of a famous general like Lu Can, Qiu Yufei was uncomfortable, thinking of what he saw in the Northern Han Dynasty, he became more and more emotional. Putting down the score, I can't help but sigh, Jiang Zhe's methods are too vicious, I don't know what method he used to let the martial arts in Jiangnan kill each other, and the Tianji Pavilion will definitely help the flames from now on and make Jiangnan more and more. Be confused.

I don’t know how long it took, Ling Duan rushed in, his face was full of joy, and when he saw Qiu Yufei he said, “Four masters, you’re done, probably all the masters have gone to the Qiao’s Garden. There is hardly any precaution, and we also used the "dream". This kind of drug is really powerful. Those jailers and sergeants are obviously still conscious, just ignorant, just like sleepwalking."

Qiu Yufei said lightly: "Then Lu Yun is embarrassed with you? He won't and don't want to leave the prison, right?"

Ling Duan chuckled and said: "I forgot to ask him. Anyway, he was also drugged. Bai Yi and I brought him out directly."

Qiu Yufei smiled bitterly, and said: "I think you should tell Bai Yi, and directly stun him. It will not be too late to hand him over to Suiyun to wake him up, so as not to have more troubles." /

Ling Duan said in astonishment: "Si Ye really has the foresight. When I came, I heard that Bai Yi asked people to get the prepared "Thousand Days Drunk". That is a good thing that can make people sleep for three years. I want to come. Bai Yi won't let the kid wake up and make noise." Then he asked with some doubts: "But how did the fourth master know that this kid would not obey? Could it be that he already has experience, alas, did the fourth master not save Lu Can? Didn’t Fourth Master say that if he didn’t agree, he would just faint?"

Qiu Yufei glared at Ling Duan and sneered: "Your martial arts is pretty good now. If you see your General Tan now, would you have the guts to stun him in order to save him?"

Ling Duan shuddered and said: "How dare I, General Tan's eyes just look at you, and you will feel chill from the inside out."

Qiu Yufei didn't bother to talk to him, saying: "It is said that the loyal and righteous people do not dare to approach the ghosts. I am just an ordinary man, but I do not have the power of ghosts and gods. General Lu is loyal to the whole festival. I admire it, but if Suiyun learns this news, I am afraid I will still have to grieve."

Ling Duan sneered when he saw Qiu Yufei sighed like this. Although the resentment towards Jiang Zhe has dissipated a lot, it doesn't mean that he has forgiven the man for what he did in the past.

Perhaps feeling upset, Qiu Yufei stood up suddenly, dropped the piano score and said: "I'm going for a walk, don't make trouble outside." After that, he walked out without waiting for Ling Duan to complain. By the time the night was dark and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but the figures of the forbidden troops were everywhere on the street. Qiu Yufei was dressed in luxurious clothes and walked slowly in the snow, and even deliberately avoided those forbidden troops. His martial arts were naturally Easily, the chaotic situation in Jianye City was in his eyes, and he couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Zhe's methods. Although he failed to rescue Lu Can as he wished, the hatred of Shang Weijun and Feng Yimen by Ding Ming and others was ten thousand. It's impossible to solve it. As night fell, the snow was getting smaller, and it was possible to see the figure clearly across several feet. Qiu Yufei was a little tired, and was about to go back to rest. His eyes flashed, but he saw a light and graceful figure running in the snow in the night sky. Yue, could not help but quietly followed. Almost half of the Jianye City has passed. He saw the figure immersed in a gorgeously illuminated courtyard, and heard the music and singing from the courtyard, the bustling voices, and the scene of traffic in front of the door, Qiu Yu Fei frowned, guessing the identity of this figure. But he didn't need to do anything extra, as he was about to turn around and leave, a ray of piano sound came from a pavilion.

Qiu Yufei's footsteps are frozen, and it is common for women from the dust to play the piano and Yuebin, but the sound of the piano is quite unusual. It is actually a song "Yilan Cao", which is sorrowful and clean. Qiu Yufei savored the music carefully, the piano player's technique is gentle, and the meaning of self-pity in the tune is like a pandan born in the wilderness. No matter the time, whether it is **** or mood, the interpretation of this song is perfect. Qiu Yufei was originally a person who loves music the most. He was so fascinating that he could hear this place as a strong enemy, so he walked into the gate of Yueyingxuan like a fan-seeker.

Without the need for a lot of words, with Qiu Yufei's appearance and heavy money, he easily walked into the scented boudoir of Yueyingxuan Lingyu. Just as he performed in the front hall, he needed to treat the guests with a gentle and graceful expression of Lingyu. The charming appearance and the pitiful temperament make people dazzled. They will never regret spending a lot of money, but can only drink a cup of tea and just say a few words. But Qiu Yufei can feel the indifference and tiredness hidden in Lingyu's eyes. This woman is not as domineering as the power represented by her identity. Qin Yin is comfortable, maybe she is also one of the mud. A white lotus.

With this thought in her heart, Qiu Yufei completely ignored the information about this woman before coming to Jianye, and smiled and said: "Lingyu girl can be said to be one of the best luthiers in the world. Can't you hear the girl play another song?"

Ling Yu’s eyes flashed with astonishment, and his face became vivid almost immediately. He really took a close look at Qiu Yufei, and his heart moved, and said: “The fourth son must have heard everyone play the piano, I don’t know the little girl. What are the shortcomings of your piano art?"

Qiu Yufei asked Lingyu about the rhythm when he opened his mouth, and he felt that this woman is not vulgar. When it comes to rhythm, no one in the world can beat him. Although Lingyu’s piano art is outstanding, he There seems to be something that can be considered. I took the Lingyu Guqin and played the song "Yilan Cao" just now.

Together with the sound of the piano, Ling Yu was energetic. He listened to the changes in the piano sound intently, without knowing that Qiu Yufei had already isolated the sound of the piano with infuriating energy. Apart from her, no one in Yueyingxuan could hear The sound of the piano, after all, Qiu Yufei didn't want to attract Feng Yimen's attention.

At the end of the song, Lingyu was already ecstatic in her heart, so she retrieved the guqin and played it again. Qiu Yufei was even more delighted when she saw her obsessed with her. She simply stood behind her and pointed her **** and techniques from time to time.

After the Lingyu was completely penetrated and it was almost the time, if it was normal, someone would have come to drive the car, but Lingyu did not hint at the chase, and Fengyimen was busy with the painful loss, so actually No one came to bother. Of course, Qiu Yufei didn't need to cut off the sound anymore. Anyway, only Lingyu was practicing. If he did that, it would easily arouse suspicion.

The spirit of the rain was still not exhausted, and I was about to ask for further advice. When I suddenly saw Qiu Yufei's Ruowu smile, I remembered that I had completely forgotten that this person was my guest. I couldn't help but the jade's face was flushed with red. "Lingyu is neglecting the fourth son. The son is proficient in rhythm. Lingyu really wants to learn the piano with him, but it is a pity that he can't help himself. I don't know if the son will come tomorrow?"

Qiu Yufei looked like a torch, seeing that the Lingyu girl was purely seeking advice, she couldn't help but sighed: "The girl is so painstakingly and lonely, it's no wonder that she can have such a piano skill, but she is about to leave Jianye next time. It's a pity to think about it. Discuss piano art with the girl again."

When Ling Yu heard the words, there was a flash of light in her eyes, thinking that she was a young lady of the scholarly family, but her family was ruined, she fell into the dust, and unfortunately became a disciple of the Fengyi School, she did not even have the freedom to redeem her body, her life experience was rough. She had no other thoughts other than sentimental music and rhythm, that is, the master taught her martial arts. In addition to diligently practicing her internal skills to increase her strength in playing the piano, she did not pay much attention to light swordsmanship. If it weren't for her talents and appearance He Qin is outstanding, I am afraid that Master will not continue to keep himself in the door, right? Originally fortunate to be able to get rid of the doom of innocence and defilement, Lingyu now wants to be an ordinary woman who can ask for redemption. With the fourth son of the piano who is better than himself, she can freely learn to play the piano. She couldn't help the tears dripping, she held Qiu Yufei's sleeves with one hand, choked and couldn't speak, she said for a long time: "Since the fourth son is leaving, let Lingyu play the piano for the son again."

After that, Lingyu wiped away the tears and stroked the strings again, but this time I played the song "Mountain Flowing Water". This song was originally meant to cherish friends, but when Lingyu came, it was too much. A bit sad and sorrowful, and even more of the hatred of a friend who hurriedly parted, but he couldn’t accompany him, Lingyu played a song engrossedly. When I looked up, I saw that the handsome and talented young son was no longer visible. There is an extra jade pendant on the piano stage.

Ling Yu picked up the jade pendant, but it was a piece of mutton fat jade carved into the shape of a guqin, with a slight pain in her heart, she pressed the jade pendant to her heart, closed her eyes lightly, and tears rolled down. He didn't know that when Qiu Yu flew away, he secretly said in his heart that I would stay a few more days just for this Lingyu girl. Originally, Qiu Yufei was ready to leave for the East China Sea immediately, but at this moment he was determined to help Jiang Zhe complete the plan to eradicate Fengyimen. With his cleverness, it is natural to see that Lingyu was forced to stay at Fengyimen. , There is no choice.

I sat in front of the chess ground, looked at the black and white chess game, and said lightly: "Shiguan is dead? Who made it? Who took over the Huaixi army?"

Huo Cong felt a chill when he heard this. Since the husband learned of Lu Can’s death, he has always been so indifferent. It seems that only an unknown outsider died, without even a trace of sadness, but I don’t know. Why, Huo Cong felt that he was getting more and more weird. Her husband was definitely not a cool person, and he would never be indifferent. Jiang Zhe's appearance made Huo Cong more worrying than crying. At this time, Jiang Zhe's gaze was already looking at him, as if urging him to answer. Looking at those deep and indifferent eyes, Huo Cong couldn't help lowering his head, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shi Guanfei has been expected to be negative. So he made Siwen Cao pay attention to Shi Guan’s whereabouts, but the attacker was not the Dayong Assassin, but Feng Yimen’s Yan Wushuang. Siwen Cao borrowed a knife to kill, and Feng Yimen’s reaction was quick, and it was not certain that Yan Wushuang He set up an ambush in advance, or followed Ding Ming to find Shiguan, but Yan Wushuang actually violently assassinated Shiguan on his way back from Shiguan, and took Shiguan's life in one fell swoop. Shiguan's guards sacrificed their lives to chase after him. Forty people were annihilated by Yan Wushuang. Wushuang was defeated all by one, but Yan Wushuang was also seriously injured and fell ill after returning to Jianye City. As for the new commander of the Huaixi Army, it was Cai Qun, the elder brother of the Queen of Southern Chu, who was a relative of the country and a sage. Weijun believes that, most importantly, he has a close relationship with Fengyimen, and this person has been coveting Ji Xia’s first disciple Lingyu for a long time. It is said that Ji Xia has promised to wait until Cai Qun establishes a foothold in Huaixi, and will take her disciple Lingyu Give it to Cai Qun as a concubine."

I thoughtfully said: "What is Cai Qun like, has he ever led the battle?"

Huo Cong said: "Although Cai Qun is a child of a family, he can barely be regarded as both civil and military. Cai did have a few good children. This person is quite arrogant. He is a general in Yuhang, and his ability is high. , Quite competent, but arrogant and romantic. After Zhao Long took office, he was returned to Jianye as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard because he was the uncle of the country. This person is the main general of Huaixi. Also competent."

I asked again: "Shang Weijun didn't take this opportunity to purge the Huaixi army?"

Huo Cong said: "Presumably Shang Weijun was not clear about the assassination of Shiguan. According to the news that Si Wencao received, after Shi Guan's body was brought back to Huaixi by his guards, Yang Xiu's messenger arrived in Huaixi. According to his wishes, the Huaixi army reported to the Southern Chu court in the name of Shi Guan's death from a serious illness. Shang Weijun did not want to disturb the military's mind. He had many problems. For him, it was best for General Shi to die to avoid future troubles. ."

I sighed: "It's also good. If General Shi died in the hands of Si Wencao's secret spy, it would not be easy to confess if he saw Yuner and his wife in the future, but Yan Wushuang was absolutely absolutely absolutely. Apart from Wen Ziyan, one of the Fengyimen disciples who is best at assassination now seems to be advancing or not retreating in martial arts. Fortunately, she has been seriously injured now, so that it will be much easier for us to eradicate Fengyimen. By the way, how about the casualties in the Qiao Family War?"

Huo Cong glanced at Jiang Zhe secretly, and saw that his husband was still as if nothing had happened, but Xiao Shunzi, who was standing on the side, had a rare and solemn expression. He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Qiao Family General, according to Mr., except for the fourth son, our people are only secretly assisting. This has been understood by Ding Ming and others, so we have no casualties. Shang Weijun’s confidant, Euro Ning, was killed by the fourth son. Hanged, Fengyimen Xiao Lan and Xie Xiaotong were killed in battle, and more than half of the swordsmen who participated in the war were killed and injured. Shang Weijun’s forces also suffered heavy losses. The Wu Gaosheng brought by Ding Ming only survived 30%, and Bai Yi took the opportunity to rescue Lu Yun. This time, Mr.'s purpose has been fully achieved. Afterwards, Shang Weijun was furious, Feng Yimen really took the opportunity to seduce Shang Weijun, taking advantage of the opportunity of Mrs. Lu and Lu Ting and others to migrate south, deliberately let out the wind, and wanted to kill Lu's Man Sect on the way. , Preparing to lure people in the rivers and lakes who sympathize with Lu into the net, and then catch them all at once, but Brother Bai Yi originally wanted Brother Yulun to speak to Shang Chengye, but was rejected by Brother Yulun."

Jiang Zhe nodded and said: "If you didn't save Lu's full family that day, there were too many people, and it was difficult to save each other. Secondly, I was afraid that Mrs. Lu and Lu Can would be as loyal as Lu Can, but we would fall into a quagmire. When I came, I also concluded that Fengyi Sect would do this. This time Fengyi Sect has lost its three masters. It must be painful. If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity to weaken Jiangnan Wulin, it will not be Fengyi Sect. To kill one or two masters of Fengyimen, they did more than I expected. By the way, let them pass the news to Wei Ying, no matter if he continues to go with Fengyimen or change course and stay loyal to Lu , Can't let him stay out of the matter."

Huo Cong asked suspiciously: "Sir, the disciple doesn't understand why we have to deal with Fengyimen at this time. Fengyimen has not succeeded in success, but more than failed. The disciple thinks that if it is left alone, it will be beneficial to our army. Levy."

I said coldly: "In the former Southern Chu, Lu Can was alone in supporting the overall situation, so the existence of Fengyimen was naturally the best support for our army. Now that Lu Can has passed away, Shang Weijun has the power in one hand. With the help of Yimen, you can take control of the generals and eradicate dissidents. Although Lu Can is dead, but he is here in Yu Weiyou, the generals will respect him for his loyalty and dare not rebel against him, and Shang Weijun will be able to control power smoothly. If Feng Yi The gate was destroyed, and Shang Weijun’s strength was greatly reduced, and he could not threaten the safety of the Nanchu generals. Lu Can’s old army and other generals would retain their strengths for self-protection, so that my army could sweep Jiangnan, so Fengyi gate should no longer Exist in this world. It is said that Chen Zhen, let him try to make the Jiangnan martial arts cannibalism more and more fierce, and then combined with Si Wen Cao to kill them all, Feng Yimen especially can not let go, but those who uphold the loyalty of the arena forces You might as well leave them a way out, so as not to make the Jiangnan martial arts sluggish. This is against my intention to retain Jiangnan's vitality. After all, there are many talents among the grass. By the way, hasn't Ming Jiansi already reached into the Jiangnan? Although it is under Si Wencao’s jurisdiction, don’t take advantage of Xiahou Yuanfeng, drag him into the water together, and dare to take the lead in impeaching me, and don’t want to stand by."

Huo Cong only promised, and asked: "General Manager Dong came to ask for information about Huaixi, as well as Lu's family, can he bring back to Dayong for resettlement?"

I thought for a while and said: "Huaixi is still safe. Shi Yujin is about to give birth. Let her wait in Huaixi. Don't tell her about the outside world. Let Dong Que take good care of her and Lu Mei. Wait until I When the army went to Huaixi, let Jing Chi send them to me. What happened to the Lu family depended on their intentions. If Mrs. Lu insisted on the order to move south, let the Yue family settle them well, otherwise they would be sent off. Come to Dayong. There is also Lu Feng. His whereabouts are unknown now. It should be under the protection of Wei Yin. This matter cannot be relaxed. He must be found. I have killed Lu Can and must not let his family. What's wrong."

Huo Cong's heart was shocked. This is the only time the husband said about his feelings after hearing the news of Lu Can's death. When he peeked at it, Jiang Zhe's expression was still so calm and indifferent, as if these words were not what he said. Seeing that his words were unobstructed, his thoughts were clear, and his strategies were as harsh as before, he should have been relieved, but Huo Cong suddenly felt strong anxiety. Then, Jiang Zhe's decisive voice came in his ear: "I heard that Yang Xiu was not afraid of the Southern Chu court's accusation and set up a memorial tent for Lu Can in Guangling. Is this possible?"

Huo Cong was taken aback. Just about to say no, he realized that Jiang Zhe’s eyes were icy and bitter. He glanced at Xiao Shunzi with a dull expression, and finally said helplessly: "This, I heard that it is, Si Wen Cao reported that Bajun, Jiangxia, Jiujiang, Shouchun, Guangling, and Yuhang all set up sacrificial tents. Even the Southern Chu court did not dare to stop it. The Huaidong army was even more veteran, crying every day. Loud."

When I heard the words, I said: "This is the right thing. If these people dare not even set up a sacrifice account, it would be a waste of Lu Can's loyalty and good intentions. Xiao Shunzi, I want to go to Guangling to worship Can'er tomorrow , What do you think?"

Huo Cong was shocked, and quickly looked at Xiao Shunzi, hoping that he would stop her husband’s improper behavior as before. Unexpectedly, a struggling look flashed in Xiao Shunzi’s eyes. After a long time, he said: "Yes, I will protect the son to Guangling. Absolutely no one can block Mr.'s path."

Hearing Xiao Shunzi’s affirmative answer, I smiled relieved and said, “Yeah, how can I not worship Can’er? It’s a pity that his body is in Jianye. If I could see him more Good."

Xiao Shunzi said without hesitation: "Don’t worry, I will accompany my son to Jianye and rebuild the tomb for the general after I have captured Nanchu. Then the son can pay homage to the general’s coffin."

I smiled and nodded, and said: "Okay, you go to make arrangements, Hu Yanshou is definitely going to follow, if other people can avoid it, then I will avoid it, by the way, I like Du Lingfeng next to Pei Yun, if he has Interest, let him go together."

Xiao Shunzi promised: "Yes, I will arrange it. It's better to take a good rest for the son. You have to go on the road tomorrow. The son can't be tired."

When I heard the words, I nodded and said: "Alright, I will lie down."

Xiao Shunzi carefully helped me to the bed, I couldn't help but laugh at him so troublesome, as if I was a porcelain who broke easily, lying on the bed, I almost immediately fell asleep, in a dream It seems to see the long-lost Lu Can Yinrong, alas, what is this kid anxious about, am I going to worship you soon? You don't have to ask your dreams so soon. Don't worry, I will take care of your family.

I don’t know at all. After walking out of the room, Huo Cong grabbed Xiao Shunzi with a ferocious expression, and said, "Mr.'s wrong, Uncle Shun, you can't go to Guangling. Mr.'s divorce can't be kept from the people of Nanchu for so long. , Yang Xiu is afraid that he will sacrifice her husband before the spirit of General Lu."

Xiao Shunzi’s eyes showed rare fear and grief, and it took a long time to say: "The son is going, no one can stop, go, follow me to see His Royal Highness and General Pei, when the son goes to Guangling, let General Pei army In Huai Shui, if he has any shortcomings, let General Pei cross the Huai Shui, massacre all the Huai Dong army, and avenge him, but even if the son will die in Guangling, he can’t stop him from going this time, who No. One more thing, you have to remember, if you dare to betray your son, I will smash your corpse into thousands of pieces, leaving you dead without a place to be buried." After that, Xiao Shunzi showed a cruel and icy look. He opened Huo Cong and walked on his own. Huo Cong felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly understood everything and understood why Xiao Shunzi ignored his husband's safety and agreed to put him in danger. But after understanding, he felt a heavy pressure in his heart. But it almost made him unable to breathe and think, and Xiao Shunzi’s threat made him understand that in any case, the husband would not hurt himself for no reason, just because for the husband, if he hurts his beloved disciple, he would follow It was as painful as hurting himself and couldn't help tears. Huo Cong moved his steps with difficulty. Before walking to Jiang Zhe's bedroom, he knelt on the ground. Jiang Zhe's even breathing sound came from the room. It was obvious that he was sleeping soundly. , But Huo Cong became more and more sad, and in a moment he couldn't cry.

The southern bank of Huai Shui is already in a state of solitude. After learning of Lu Can’s death, even if Yang Xiu was ordered by Lu Can, she could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, not to mention the grief in the army. In spite of Shang Weijun's suspicion, he set up a sacrificial tent in Guangling, and wanted to come to the law and not blame the public. Shang Weijun could not use this reason to embarrass the Huaidong army. All the lieutenants in the army were wearing white clothes and filial piety, with black yarn wrapped around their arms. But at this moment, a scout suddenly reported back. The Yong army gathered on the north bank of Huaishui River, in front of the city of Sizhou, sharpening their swords, and they seemed to take the opportunity to attack. Since then, it has been an unrighteous act, and the soldiers were also furious, and they all raised their arms and shouted, wanting to fight **** battle with the Yong army. Unexpectedly, the Yong army sent an envoy to cross the water to send a message. Hou Jiangzhe from the township of Da Yong Chu wanted to go to Guangling to make a sacrifice. With the intention of self-reliance, this Jiang Zhe was really the culprit who killed the general. At the moment, the crowd was angry, and they all claimed to kill Jiang Zhe on the mourning hall in order to sacrifice Lu Can's heroic spirit.

All the soldiers can happily enmity, but Yang Xiu cannot easily decide. If Jiang Zhe really came to worship the spirit, he would not kill the messenger of the Great Yong Diao sacrifice, but if Jiang Zhe is allowed to come and go freely, only I was afraid that the resentment in the army would concentrate on me. There were already complaints in the army, just because he had never raised the army to save the general. He was originally from Shu. Without the support of Lu Can, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the army. Being able to command the Huaidong army is also mostly Lu Canyuwei and his own operations over the past few years. If the army's mind is hurt, even if Shang Weijun doesn't do anything, he can't control the Huaidong army. What's more, the Yong army is holding troops on the north bank of the Huai River, so you don't need to ask why they came. Once Jiang Zhe is dead, the Yong army will inevitably cross the water to fight. Now is not a good time to fight the Yong army. So thinking again and again, Yang Xiu declined Jiang Zhe's request to come for the offering.

But the young messenger solemnly said: "Yang Canjun, although you and our two countries are hostile, but they are respected by loyal ministers and righteous men, General Lu and Chu Xianghou are even young friends, and they are both mentors and apprentices. , Love brothers and feet, although unfortunately the middle and the road are separated, each is the master, so that the life and death meet, but the personal affection does not harm the public friendship, and please do not refuse the Chu Xianghou to be sincere. I think it is the general who knows well and will be happy to see When you come to Lord Hou, you will die like a lamp. If you want to come to the general, you will not hate your former teacher."

Yang Xiu thought over and over again, and finally sighed: "Jianghou Lord actually has this intention. If I refuse, it will make the world feel that my Southern Chu soldiers are narrow-minded, but I might as well speak up, if Jianghou came here lightly. , Yang is not sure what the consequences will be, but Yang will definitely try his best to prevent Huaidong soldiers from revenge."

The young messenger said seriously: "I believe that the Southern Chu generals will not be angry with my Lord Hou in Da Yong. If there is an accident, it must have nothing to do with the general, but my Prince Da Yong is also in the Chuzhou army. , Your Majesty has an order. If Lord Hou has any shortcomings, he needs to bloodbath Huaidong before he can confess to his Majesty. Please Yang Shenjun to remember this. Don't wait until the swordsmen and soldiers are together, thinking that our army is not teaching and punish you."

Yang Xiu's eyes flashed sharply, and said coldly: "Is the messenger threatening Yang?"

The young messenger calmly said: "Even if I don’t explain it below, the general can’t think of why our army is supporting Sizhou city? My Da Yong has always acted with integrity, so His Royal Highness ordered that this matter be clearly stated to the army soldiers under the command. It is not an intentional threat. The dispute between our two countries is an unending situation. Even if there is no fight today, it will be a fight in the future. His Royal Highness does not think that holding troops can threaten the general."

Yang Xiu heard a different color in his eyes, and said: "What a great prince Da Yong, I know that your prince has been known as a filial piety since he was a child. I can't think of acting like this with resoluteness and determination. Okay, Yang will wait for Chu. The village lords came to offer sacrifices to the spirit, but there is no guarantee of his safety."

The messenger didn't look upset either, he just saluted and wanted to retire, but Yang Xiu stopped him, focused on this ordinary looking young messenger for a moment, and asked: "I have not yet asked your messenger. Respect taboo?"

The messenger's expression was still cold and indifferent, and said: "In the next Huo Cong."

Yang Xiu's eyes were cold, and it took a long time to say: "It turned out to be you, good, see off the guests."

After Huo Cong left the big account, he walked out of Wei Ying from the inner account. Although it was only a few months, Wei Yin's description was much haggard, especially after Lu Can's death, in just a few days, he actually Even the temples have Star Frost, which makes Wei Ying, who was very good at maintenance, seem to be a few years old. He stared coldly and said: "Yang Canjun, do you want to avenge the general?"

Yang Xiu knew what he wanted, and said lightly: "A man just wants revenge, and he can't use this method."

Wei Ying sneered: "Do you think that person will come here sincerely, I'm afraid that when he leaves, it is when Shang Weijun starts his hand, are you not afraid that Shang Weijun uses this as an excuse to embarrass you? ?"

Yang Xiu calmly said: "If the two armies are fighting, they will not be cut off, let alone the messenger who came to the hanging sacrifice? This is how I report to the Ming court, and I always emphasize the etiquette, so I can’t use this as an excuse to come to Shangxiang. , Brother Wei, I am grateful for your kindness to the general, but this time I can’t let you do it."

Wei Ying heard what Yang Xiu meant, but he suspected that he wanted revenge. In fact, although he might not have the opportunity to take revenge, he really wanted to avenge Jiang Zhe’s framed revenge for Lu Can, but Looking at Yang Xiu’s indifferent expression, he didn’t say much, turned and left the account sadly, and said in his heart, there is only a general in this world who dares to believe me. He is now dead, and the Southern Chu army is not where I stayed for a long time. .

Not far from the big tent, Li Ming walked in a hurry, his eyes full of unbelievable expressions, Wei Yin saw that he looked weird, and was about to ask, he had walked up to Wei Ying's side and whispered to him In a few words, Wei Ying's eyes flashed an unbelievable look, and Li Ming said in a low voice when he saw it, "Cui Xuan has heard that the sect master has agreed to start with Lu, and the sect master promised to let him go back." His gaze condensed, and it took a long time to say: "After I have met Jiang Zhe, we will go back." After speaking, he sneered and said: "How can we not watch this good show of cat crying and mouse?"

The next day, the carriages and horses of Dayong who came to hang the offerings crossed the Huai River. All of them dressed in plain clothes, came to Guangling Camp under the eyes of the Southern Chu sergeants.

I was sitting in the carriage, thinking quietly about my thoughts. Apart from Xiao Shunzi and Hu Yanshou, Hu Benwei came along with him. I didn’t want to take them. So many Master warriors, isn't it provocative? It's a pity that they actually said that if they couldn't protect me and violate the emperor's will, I had to admit it. In addition, Huo Cong and Du Lingfeng were accompanied by him. Huo Cong only asked for an ambassador yesterday, and he will come with me this time. If this kid is not afraid of death, let him follow. As for Du Lingfeng, I really think that he is sitting on pins and needles in front of me is very interesting. It was originally just a mention, and I didn't intend to let him follow him. Who knew this kid actually clenched his teeth to follow, and it was funny to think about it. But I don't know how Xiao Shunzi convinced Li Jun and Pei Yun. I was worried that Xiao Shunzi would run to Guangling behind me.

The carriage stopped. Xiao Shunzi asked me to get off outside. I stretched my waist. This road is really a tossing person. The road is not easy to walk. Years of battles and road damage. Wait until Huaidong is taken. Rectify and rectify the road. When I stepped out of the carriage, I felt that the sunlight outside was a bit strong. I couldn't help but fascinate my eyes. There was a cloud of plain in front of me. Whether it was the snow on the ground or the weapon in the hands of the Southern Chu sergeant, it reflected a bright light, making me almost open. Do not open your eyes.

Huo Cong has already stood by my side, pulled my sleeves, and stepped forward to introduce: "Sir, this is Yang Canjun, Lord Yang."

I glanced at Yang Xiu, I still remember this person, and stepped forward to salute: "Yang joined the army, not seen for many years, but the style is the same as before. Don't you remember Jiang?"

Yang Xiu stared at Jiang Zhe for a long time. When we met last time, Jiang Zhe was seriously injured and his expression was haggard and completely lacklustre. He actually didn't see anything strange about this person. He hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Yang Xiu only felt that this person's expression was calm, his eyes were deep, his gray hair and frosty sideburns, the passage of time made this person more and more condensed, but there was always a little scattered between the eyebrows, what made Yang Xiu's doubts, Jiang Zhe There was no sadness on the face, Yang Xiu wanted to come, whether this person is true or not, he should be sad.

After hesitating for a moment, feeling the commotion and dissatisfaction of the generals behind him, Yang Xiu said coldly: "Chu Xianghou came to hang the offering, we know that our army hates Your Excellency deeply, you may not be able to come and go!"

After hearing his threatening words, Hu Yanshou, Du Lingfeng, and Hu Benwei all looked angry, and Hu Yanshou stepped forward and said: "If you want to hurt the life of Lord Hou, it depends on whether we agree. "

Huo Cong was silent, with more worry in his eyes, while Xiao Shunzi's face was frosty, even the angry Nan Chu sergeant could feel a little bit more chill in the air. The tent has stagnated before the sacrifice.

Yang Xiu looked at Jiang Zhe and wanted to see how he coped with this situation. If this great Yongchu villager can be frustrated here, the most exciting thing for the army is that if you don’t kill him, you won’t be lost. reason.

I frowned in annoyance. What's the matter with these people, what are they making noise here, is delaying my time, I have been waiting for Caner for a long time, and coldly said: "If you want to do something, you have to wait for Jiang. After the sacrifice." After I said that, I ignored the people and went to the sacrifice tent.

Yang Xiu was taken aback and made a secret gesture. The two rows of white-clad and white-clad sergeants standing in front of the sacrificial tent shouted in unison: "Chu Xianghou enters the tent and worships the general!" He simultaneously drew his sword out of the sheath. , Intersected two by one, held it above the head, and placed a knife formation in front of the tent. The sharp single blade reflects the sunlight and snow, and the plain silk tied to the handle of the knife is dancing with the wind, and every sergeant has a dazzling murderous intent in the eyes.

I saw that these Nanchu sergeants who were obstructing the way finally gave up the passage, smiled satisfied, and walked to the sacrificial tent, but there was always some snow pigment silk on the face in front of me, frowning impatiently , I was too lazy to reach out and remove these plain silks, walked into the tent, walked into the snow-colored sacrificial tent, and at a glance, I saw Sheng Lucan’s coat of arms and the spiritual card on it. I only felt that my strength seemed to disappear. Exhausted, before walking to the coffin, her legs were a little weak, and regardless of etiquette, she hugged her knees and sat on the futon used for kneeling in front of the coffin.

Looking at the spirit sign for a long time, I chanted:

"Remember to greet each other with a smile, cut a candle and talk about soldiers at night in the west window.

Keeping grace in the depths is better than flesh and blood, and don't deceive guests because of loneliness.

Helplessly, the frost destroys the garden orchids, and the brigade Chengen is quiet.

There are many divergent roads from north to south in life, and you will face Xiaoxiang and Qin. "

After finishing a poem, I feel that it is not enough. Without thinking about it, I chanted again:

"Twenty years of conquering dust like a dream, the Central Plains looks like a mountain to the north.

Being both civil and martial arts has no more children, and the magnificent merit is a crime.

Tai Xi turned his head against his head and turned into a hatred.

The king returns to Huangquan and has nothing to hate, who can the sky sue for tears? "

After reciting the two poems, I felt a lot more relaxed in my heart, as if I saw Lu Can’s voice and smile, and thought of Qiu Yufei and Yulun’s biography. He still wanted to thank me before he died. We were already stubborn. Knowing that if he can kill me, I will not let it go, but I know that he will never forget his old love, but his personal friendship can't match the hatred of the two countries.

But how long I stayed, I caught a glimpse of the guqin in Huo Cong’s arms, and with a wave, Huo Cong handed it over. I sat down cross-legged and flicked the strings, thinking of the time I spent in Jiangxia as a child, and now I want to come. , That was the happiest day of my life. The sound of the piano rang unconsciously. I only thought of those peaceful and peaceful days. I thought of sleeping with Lu Can and of him practicing archery in the school field, which forced me. I also accompany him to sweat under the scorching sun, thinking of me forging his assignments for him, thinking of sneaking out with him to travel in spring, but being caught by Lu Houye in a straightforward embarrassment, thinking about it, smiles on his lips, the sound of the piano Also more lively and smart.

Yang Xiu stood outside the sacrificial tent, looking solemnly at the thin figure behind the almost transparent white tent reflected by the sunlight, opening a sword array to welcome the guests. Originally, he wanted to destroy Jiang Zhe’s courage, but this weak scholar turned his eyes. He walked into the sacrificial tent without blinking, and several times the steel knife on his head moved downwards, but he didn't pay any attention to it. At this moment, Yang Xiu really believed the rumors of this man's courage.

Hearing the two eulogy chanted by the man, Yang Xiu felt that this man must be false, but he couldn't help but ruin his heart. Thinking of the general's martial arts and loyalty, he died of internal strife. In the non-battlefield, even the Shroud of Horse Leather couldn't even hurt himself secretly.

But when the sound of the piano was together, Yang Xiu’s expression changed drastically. There was no trace of sadness in the sound of the piano. Instead, it was full of joy. Not to mention that Yang Xiu was well-versed in melody. Those soldiers who had originally looked forward to indulgence were also I felt annoyed, but after only listening to it for a moment, the murderous aura gradually faded. Instead, I recalled the playmates I made in my youth and the friendship that was engraved in my heart and did not have a stake. The sound of the piano became more and more peaceful and joyful, but at some point, Yang Xiu felt that her cheeks had been moisturized, as if she was trapped in a dream that she didn’t want to wake up. When Yang Xiu woke up, she was crying around her, and she was obviously overjoyed. Qin Yin, but no one felt sorrow from the heart. At this moment, Yang Xiu truly believed that Jiang Zhe came to worship sincerely.

When the sound of the piano ceased, Jiang Zhe still walked out of the sacrificial tent with an indifferent expression, and walked away in a hurry. At this time, no one from the Huaidong army wanted to embarrass him. They had forgotten this. The identity of the person, I only remember that he is a young friend of the general, that's it.

Xiao Shunzi and everyone guarded Jiang Zhe’s carriage and crossed the Huai Shui River almost without stopping. Many people could not think of it that they could come back so easily. The Hu Ben guards who are not afraid of death can't help but cheer in a low voice. Only Xiao Shunzi, Hu Yanshou and Huo Cong are worried and pay attention to Jiang Zhe's look from time to time.

I saw Li Jun who was riding a horse to greet him. Somehow, there seemed to be something broken in my heart. I stretched out my hand to hold Xiao Shunzi~IndoMTL.com~ and asked with difficulty: "Xiao Shunzi, Lu Can Is he dead?"

Xiao Shunzi ignored the startled gaze that everyone was looking at, with a determined look in his eyes, and said cruelly: "Yes, Lu Can is dead." Only then did I feel that the sky was dark and dark. The news of Lu Can's death in the past few days Although it entered my ears, it never entered my heart. Until this moment, I suddenly realized that Lu Can was really dead. He died in my hand. A heart-piercing pain came out of thin air, and only felt in his throat. A sweet, a bit of blood has been vomited on Xiao Shunzi’s sleeves. The blood on the plain shirt became more and more dazzling. I looked up and saw Xiao Shunzi’s worried eyes. I only felt that the eyes were dark, and I fell down. Someone supported me and shouted in my ear, but I didn't want to hear anything, but let the tears slip, and my consciousness gradually sank into darkness.

In the exclamation of everyone, Li Jun has rushed to Jiang Zhe, only to see that Jiang Zhe has passed out, and there is no trace of blood on his pale face, but tears are flowing in his closed eyes, and the tears are actually faint. Li Jun exclaimed: "What's wrong with Mr.?"

Xiao Shunzi, who has been looking gloomy for the past few days, took a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, okay, I finally cried. Now you can rest assured, Your Highness, immediately send the son back to Chuzhou , Call a military doctor for diagnosis and treatment.” But there was a moment of fear in his heart. Thinking of Jiang Zhe’s abnormal calmness after hearing the bad news, he worried that Jiang Zhe was overwhelmed. In order to let Jiang Zhe release his heartache, he desperately indulged Jiang Zhe to go to Guangling to worship, and finally made Jiang Zhe sober. Even if he was injured, he might as well.

Huo Cong was stunned there, seeing Xiao Shunzi's relieved look, two emotions of joy and sorrow hit at the same time, and she burst into tears and exchanges, hurriedly wiped it with his robe sleeves, and hurried to Chuzhou following everyone .
