King’s House Kindergarten

After dusk, night falls.

The night was shrouded in the city wall of Pingguan, and the shimmering light of the stars reflected the blood-stained land outside the city gate.

The Qiang Asian army has withdrawn, and the pass is secured.

But because of the death of General Pang, the entire Pingguan camp fell into dead silence.

Outside the camp, the hurried sound of hooves broke the silence. More than a dozen horses stopped in the camp one after another. Marquis Weide, headed by him, was dressed in military uniform, with tears on his face and red eyes.

Outside the camp, the curtains were lifted, and everyone turned their eyes to look at Marquis Weide, who was wearing armor and turned back from the outside, with tears in their eyes.

Marquis Weide stepped forward, as if every step was heavy, trembling in front of General Pang's body, "General, I am late!"

Everyone in the army knows that General Pang has always been proud of himself.

But for Marquis Weide, General Pang regarded him as his long-term friend in the army.

If Marquis Weide persuaded him, General Pang would listen to him.

Right now, General Pang was not there, so everyone around Marquis Weide seemed to be able to understand his mood.

More especially, it was a **** battle at Pingguan. It was General Pang who fought desperately to the end, and Marquis Weide did not have time to come back, which might be a regret for Marquis Weide in his life.

Marquis Weide staggered forward, almost unsteady, but fortunately there was the second son by his side to support him, "Father..."

Marquis Weide choked up in his throat. It seemed like a thousand words, but at the moment, he couldn't even say it. He only knelt down heavily in front of the body of General Pang, "Old General, go well..."

This sentence is like a heavy burden.

The generals in the house all followed in tears.

Although Old General Pang was sometimes fierce in his words, and it was easy to argue with others, but in the battle of Pingguan, Old General Pang, who was wearing new and old wounds, held on to the end and forced the army to retreat. .

Therefore, the words of Weidehou seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present.

Zhuo Xin knelt in the center of the tent, reached out and wiped his tears.

At the last moment, he was always with General Pang and saw General Pang closing his eyes peacefully. Others also know that General Pang was on the city wall at the end, and he laughed till the end with Prince Pingyuan.

General Pang rarely recognizes young people.

But General Pang finally recognized Prince Pingyuan...

Zhuo Xin has been kneeling in the camp since just now. Marquis Weide got up and stretched out his hand to support him, "Prince, although King Pingyuan is gone, the prince has shown hope to the old man and the army!"

Zhuo Xin's eyes turned red.

Marquis Weide helped him get up, and beside him was the sound of armor and clothes rubbing.

"King Pingyuan is gone. It's a pity that I haven't caught the murderer of King Pingyuan. In time, I will definitely avenge King Pingyuan and General Pang!"

Zhuo Xin's face was full of tears, his eyes fixed on him, but he didn't answer.

After Wei Dehou finished speaking, he bowed his hands to him again.

Many of the generals in the camp turned their heads away, daring not to look at them, for fear that they could not hold back their tears.

Zhuo Xin burst into tears.

...

Right now, everyone in the camp has said goodbye to General Pang.

Tomorrow morning, it will be cremated, and General Pang will be sent for a ride.

"Does the prince want to go out for a walk with this old man?" Outside the tent, Marquis Weide looked at Zhuo Xin.

King Pingyuan and General Pang Lao are dead, and although Qiang Ya has retreated, the battle is not really over yet, and Marquis Weide still needs to be in the army.

Marquis Weide is the heir to the prince of Pingyuan.

The others bowed their hands and resigned.

Zhuo Xin nodded.

Marquis Weide asked with concern when Zhuo Xin came to the army and why he suddenly came to Beijing. He heard that he had been to the army earlier, but he went back and forth.

Zhuo Xin responded one by one.

Marquis Weide asked a little more carefully, such as whether he received news from King Pingyuan, and what did King Pingyuan tell him in the end? I haven't seen King Pingyuan."

Zhuo Xin was silent.

Marquis Weide let out a long sigh.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said to him in a deep voice, "Can the prince go to the place where the prince stayed last? The old man accompanies the prince."

Zhuo Ye raised his eyes to look at Marquis Weide and Zhuo Xin.

Zhuo Xin swallowed softly, "I want to go."

Weide Hou reached out and embraced him.

***

As the night got darker, everyone rode to Nanyun Mountain.

After the Battle of Pingguan, the Qiang runners had withdrawn their troops, and the remaining rogue soldiers did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

The mountains were quiet at night, and the soldiers were all holding torches.

Wei Dehou was very sympathetic to Zhuo Xin, and he talked to him all the way, trying to relieve Zhuo Xin Xin's sadness and tension.

Zhuo Xin didn't say much.

Halfway through the journey, at about Hai Shi, everyone stopped to drink water, and some spies went to explore the road.

Zhuo Ye handed the water bag to Zhuo Xin, Zhuo Xin took it, and said in a low voice, "Marquis Weide is not a good person, he killed my sixth uncle."

Zhuo Ye was surprised.

Zhuo Xin held the water bag and said solemnly, "Pingguan fought fiercely for a whole day, so many people died, and the garrison around the city came to rescue him, but he was in Nanyun Mountain, but he didn't have time to rescue him, and the other party didn't have time to rescue him. As soon as he retired, he immediately returned to the army to mourn the old general."

Zhuo Ye followed the memories, it was true, but because Marquis Weide was walking heavily and was in agony in front of General Pang, the attention of others was on the friendship between Marquis Weide and General Pang.

Zhuo Xin continued, "When he was mourning General Pang, he specifically mentioned the absence of Uncle Six. If he really went to Uncle Six and never found it, the first person he saw me would be with General Xue Ruixue. Same, let me mourn. But he is anxious to inform everyone that Uncle Six is ​​dead. Because Uncle Six is ​​the commander of the army, General Pang is highly respected in the army, and the two of them are not there, so he should be the one who takes over the army. "

Zhuo Ye was stunned.

Zhuo Xin added, "I've only been through a whole day of war, other generals and uncles let me rest well, but he asked me a lot in the name of concern, but most of the questions were, when will I be in the army? , why did I suddenly come to Beijing, I had been to the military before, why did I go back and so on. I asked very carefully, and asked me if I had received news from the sixth uncle, and the sixth uncle could finally He told me something. He wanted to confirm whether I still knew something, or even if my sixth uncle knew something. Tao Bo taught me to look at people, and a person with an open mind would not confirm this repeatedly, Hou Weide There must be a ghost in my heart, I suspect that he cooperated with the enemy and killed Sixth Uncle..."

Zhuo Ye's brows were stunned, and Zhuo Xin's reasoning was in the woods.

In the short period of two or three years, the second son in Beijing, under the guidance of Tao Bo, seems to be no longer the impulsive teenager who just returned to Beijing.

Zhuo Xin said solemnly, "Although the sixth uncle is gone, there are many soldiers in the army under the command of the Pingyuan palace. If the sixth uncle is not there, they will still listen to me, so I am his big worry. So he deliberately Tell me, it's a pity that I didn't see Uncle Liu a few days later, and he felt regretful, and then asked me if I wanted to go to the place where Uncle Liu stayed last. He accompanies me... He killed me. Heart!"

Zhuo Xin lowered his eyebrows, "But I have to come. As soon as Marquis Weide arrived in the army, he changed his defense in the name of letting the soldiers in the battle of Pingguan recuperate, and transferred the soldiers under the palace's command from the Pingguan camp to the garrison in the city. Go, right now in the Pingguan camp, there are people from Marquis Weide, if we don’t come, we will surely die in the army, and outside, we still have a chance to survive.”

Zhuo Ye didn't expect that the fact that he had just let himself sneak into the army to switch defenses was because of this.

Zhuo Xin turned to look at him. In the black clothes, his eyes were black and bright, and they seemed to be full of killing intent, "Zhuo Ye, if we want to kill Marquis Weide, how sure are we?"

The astonishment in Zhuo Ye's eyes slowly faded away, "I'm sure to kill him, but after killing him, I have to leave my body and wait for the other dark guards to come."

Other dark guards? Zhuo Xin looked at him suspiciously.

Zhuo Ye stepped forward and said softly, "Biao Gongzi and I both feel that since we stepped into the camp, someone has been watching us. Biao Gongzi left for an excuse to find the trace of the prince. The prince should still be alive, but I don't know the reason. After cutting off the news with the Dark Guard, we can't find anyone, and Marquis Weide can't find anyone, so Marquis Weide has been looking for the trace of the prince earlier, and according to the second son's inference, it makes sense."

The sixth uncle is still alive, and Zhuo Xin's mind is full of surprises brought by Zhuo Ye's words.

Zhuo Ye continued, "Although I don't know what happened before, Marquis Weide inexplicably mentioned the place where the prince stayed before his death. I was worried that he would be unfavorable to the second son, and I had already recruited a dark guard. Later, I heard the continuous cuckoo. The sound of a bird means that someone has arrived, Second Young Master, this trip is dangerous, be careful later..."

Zhuo Xin nodded.

The sadness in my heart earlier was dispelled by Zhuo Ye's words that Sixth Uncle is still alive.

But right now, he has more important things to do. There must be a problem with Marquis Weide. If Marquis Weide is not eliminated, the border will continue to be in chaos. He didn't kill Marquis Weide, and Marquis Weide wouldn't keep him.

In the night wind, Zhuo Xin said quietly, "Zhuo Ye, what would you do if you were Uncle Six?"

Zhuo Ye's eyes were cold, "First kill Weidehou, and then use the second son of Weidehou's mansion as a hostage."

***

"Did my sixth uncle die here?" Zhuo Xin dismounted.

"Yes, the prince condolences." Marquis Weide also dismounted and led the horse forward, "At that time, Qiangya set up an ambush and General Pang was besieged, and King Pingyuan was imprisoned in order to save General Pang... Wang Zhong of Pingyuan This old man has always admired his bravery and courage, and if there is still a chance, I really want to join forces with King Pingyuan on the battlefield and kill him happily."

After Weide Hou finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.

Zhuo Xin knew that Marquis Weide still wanted to take him here, so he brought him here. Marquis Weide was scheming, because he was afraid that Sixth Uncle would still have something to say to him. Before it was completely clear, Marquis Weide would like to accompany him in acting again.

But Zhuo Xin remembered what Zhuo Ye said.

The other dark guards did not arrive, and it was difficult for them to leave safely.

Until the last moment, he should try to delay time.

Zhuo Xin said solemnly, "General Pang must have a hard time with the death of the sixth uncle, so he fought to the end in Pingguan, and finally defended Pingguan."

He suddenly detoured to Old General Pang again. Marquis Weide was slightly stunned, and then followed the words, "Yes, it would be great if Old General Pang could survive, if Pingyuan Wang Quan knew about it..."

Marquis Weide didn't want to focus on Old General Pang, but Zhuo Xin added, "It's a pity that people can't be resurrected from the dead."

Marquis Weide was about to speak out, but he heard a series of cuckoo sounds, like a mournful cry.

Zhuo Xin's eyes were slightly stagnant, and he glanced at Zhuo Ye from the corner of his eye, and Zhuo Ye understood.

Marquis Weide continued to step forward, "There are talented people in the country, and the prince and the old general defended Pingyuan together. King Pingyuan must be pleased. The prince and the uncle and nephew of Prince Pingyuan are deeply in love, can Prince Pingyuan entrust it to the prince? If the old man can help, he will die!"

Zhuo Xin lowered his head and smiled, "Don't Marquis Weide feel guilty?"

Marquis Weide's eyes suddenly stagnated.

Zhuo Xin continued, "You killed Sixth Uncle, and you didn't rush to help the level on purpose. You didn't expect us to be able to hold it."

Marquis Weide smiled awkwardly, "How can the old man not understand what the prince said."

Zhuo Xin turned around slowly, "You transferred the officers and men under the command of the Pingyuan Palace, replaced them with your own, took over the front line, and then let me come here, not just to get the sixth uncle's words out of my mouth and worry about the sixth uncle's hand. There's evidence of your collaborating with the enemy, or something you don't know about, isn't it?"

Zhuo Xin broke it, and Marquis Weide simply stopped pretending and said with a soft laugh, "Hehe, young man, being too smart is not a good thing. Your sixth uncle is also very smart. He doubted me, so instead of letting him doubt, it is better to guide him. , let him find out later that it was not me and dispelled his guard against me, but unfortunately, he was always cautious, even if he dispelled his doubts, he did not relax his guard against me. He didn't need to die, he decided not to pursue, but I still went after him, not counting him who I killed, I just told the Qiangya people that he went, everyone gets what they need."

For example, Zhuo Xin was only suspicious earlier.

But now, Marquis Weide has confirmed this suspicion.

Zhuo Xin's voice was hoarse, "Why do you want to be a lackey for the Qiang people?"

"Lags?" Marquis Weide laughed, "What is a running dog? It's just that everyone takes what they need from each other. Xiqin's power is already exhausted, and sooner or later, it will be divided up. Instead of letting Xiqin be annexed, I plan for myself. Only your sixth uncle still thinks about protecting the family and defending the country, the people of Western Qin are gone, and the people of Western Qin are naturally the people of other countries, who still remembers the former Pingyuan Palace!"

Zhuo Xin gritted his teeth.

"You have asked what you should have asked, and I have said what you should say. If you want to blame, you should not turn back to the border." Marquis Weide drew his sword, Zhuo Xin also drew his sword, and Zhuo Ye stood in front of Zhuo Xin. .

"A group of hairy boys, they can't handle themselves." Marquis Weide dismissed and waved his saber forward, only to see Zhuo Ye's extremely fast speed, and immediately knocked out the saber in his hand.

Weide Hou was shocked.

Zhuo Ye blew his whistle quickly, and suddenly dark guards sprang out from nowhere, fighting with the surrounding Weidehou soldiers.

The dark guards are all good at everything, but they can't stand the large number of soldiers under Wei Dehou.

The longer it drags on, the easier it is for them to get trapped.

Zhuo Ye moves fatally.

In a short period of time, Zhuo Xin and Zhuo Yuan were stabbed in several places on Wei Dehou's body, and he was also forced to retreat again and again. Zhuo Ye had no flaws, only Zhuo Xin, Weide Hou pretended to pick up a knife, but in fact rushed towards Zhuo Xin.

Zhuo Xin couldn't avoid it, and he didn't avoid it at all.

"Second son!" Zhuo Ye panicked.

Zhuo Xin didn't blink, remembering that when Uncle Liu taught Xiao Wu how to practice swordsmanship, he told Xiao Wu over and over again that if you are facing people who are much stronger than you, you can only run; but if you know that you will not be able to escape, don't run...

Zhuo Xin swallowed softly, looking at Marquis Weide who rushed towards him, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Don't run, pretend to be alarmed, pretend to be intimidated and immobile, and then attack!

Marquis Weide slashed at him with a knife, and his heart sank, right now.

The blade slid across his shoulder, causing severe pain in his left shoulder, but at the same time, because Marquis Weide saw that he couldn't avoid him, he didn't dodge at all, but the dagger in his hand stuck firmly into Marquis Weide's belly.

Wei Dehou looked at him in disbelief, "You!"

Zhuoxin's left shoulder gushed out like a column of blood.

"Second Young Master!" Zhuo Ye stepped forward and killed Marquis Weide with a knife behind his back. Marquis Weide was so reluctant that he fell to his knees, and then fell to the ground. His eyes were not closed, and he seemed restless.

Zhuo Ye couldn't care less, and stepped forward with a cloth to stop the bleeding.

Zhuo Xin's face was pale.

But he killed Marquis Weide.

"Father!" The second son of the Marquis of Weide shouted.

This sudden scene, the surrounding soldiers were stunned! A lot of soldiers died just now, as well as a lot of dark guards. At the moment when they took it lightly, there was a dark guard's knife on the neck of the second son of the Marquis of Weide.

Immediately, the surroundings were silent.

"Get out of the way, or he will die!" Zhuo Ye's voice was cold, and he helped Zhuo Xin get up.

The soldiers around the Marquis of Weide don't know if they should step forward, but the second son is in the opponent's hands...

"Bring him on a horse!" Zhuo Ye ordered.

The Dark Guard is neat and tidy.

The second son of the Marquis of Weide didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhuo Ye also helped Zhuo Xin to mount the horse. Zhuo Xin was injured on the shoulder. Right now, the corners of his mouth were pale, and he could only ride with Zhuo Ye.

"Follow me and I'll kill him!" Zhuo Ye said, the dagger in the hand of the dark guard on one side had already cut the neck of the second son of Weide Houfu.

"Don't follow, go back!" The second son of the Marquis of Weide was frightened.

All soldiers retreat.

"Head, you go first!" There is a dark guard behind the palace.

Zhuo Ye took Zhuo Xin, the dark guard just now took the second son of Weidehou Mansion, and the rest of the dark guards, took the horses of the group of people just now and galloped in the night.

Nine deaths!

Zhuo Xin's heart was thumping, in fact, from the beginning, he didn't have much faith in surviving.

But they still did it, and although they nearly died at the hands of Weidehou, they finally survived.

Zhuo Xin tightened his shoulders, but the blood was still flowing, but he couldn't stop.

"Second son, hold on!" Zhuo Ye's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The second son of the Marquis of Weide on the side was also ashen, falling into the hands of Zhuo novice, and even more afraid of falling into the hands of Zhuo Yuan. Only just now his father admitted everything. Now that his father is dead, his eldest brother is simply overwhelmed. Zhuo Yuan had death in his hands, and he had to find a way to escape.

The night was dark, and the horses galloped.

"Zhuo Ye, where are we going?" Zhuo Xin was a little dazed.

"Go to a safe place." Zhuo Ye didn't have a clue in his heart. This is Nanyun Mountain. He was also afraid of enemy attack and ambush.

But go a long way!

He was afraid that the second son would not be able to hold on!

"Zhuo Ye, is the sixth uncle still alive?" Zhuo Xin's consciousness was a little dazed.

Zhuo Ye choked, "The lord must be alive, Second Young Master, you must persist until the lord returns."

"Then I will tell Sixth Uncle that I killed Marquis Weide with my own hands and avenged Old General Pang." His voice was very soft.

Zhuo Ye beat the horse, I wish I could be faster, faster!

But just as the words fell, a sharp arrow suddenly struck, like the first shimmer of light at dawn, directly hitting the horse's belly, and the horse fell to the ground instantly.

"Second son!" Zhuo Ye fell off the horse with Zhuo Xin in his arms, and rolled all the way. In the collision between the rock and the big tree, he felt that his internal organs were upside down, and he almost lost consciousness!

"Second son!" Zhuo Ye was almost unable to move, but he still endured the pain and stepped forward to take care of Zhuo Xin.

He absorbed most of the impact, and Zhuo Xin was not seriously injured, but the violent movement caused the wound to be torn again, and blood oozes from his shoulder again.

Someone in the dark guard was shot directly.

The dark guard who brought the second son of the Marquis of Weide also fell off the horse, but the second son of the Marquis of Weide fell directly and almost lost his life.

Zhuo Ye raised his head, and in the dawn, the ambush people gradually walked in.

In the blood, Zhuo Ye finally saw the person in front of him, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Prince of Annan County, Gao Sheng?

Zhuo Ye took a deep breath, and immediately clenched the soft sword in his hand.

Just this time!

"Tsk tsk tsk" Gao Sheng stepped forward on crutches, his leg was broken, and he could only lean on crutches. Seeing the embarrassed Zhuo Ye and the blood-clothed Zhuo Xin, he sighed softly, "It was originally for Zhuo Yuan. I prepared, but you came, but you came too, you died, Zhuo Yuan looked even more uncomfortable, hehehe!"

Zhuo Xin was angry, and Zhuo Ye protected him in front of him, "Is the prince of Annan County confused?"

After saying that, the dark guard on one side clenched the dagger in his hand, and cut the neck of the second son of the Marquis of Weide a little deeper, watching the blood flow down.

"Stop Gao Sheng, are you crazy?" The second son of Marquis Weide panicked.

Gao Sheng looked at him and smiled towards Zhuo Ye, "Want to take him as a hostage? I'm not Marquis Weide."

After speaking, his fingertips moved slightly, and a sharp arrow shot out from behind him, hitting the forehead of the second son of the Marquis of Weide, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and he didn't rest his mind again.

Zhuo Ye swallowed because of the nervousness in his throat. Gao Sheng killed even the people in Weidehou Mansion. He was not going to stay alive. There are so many people on the other side. Unless there is rescue, they have no choice but to die.

"Kill!" Gao Sheng's eyes were filled with the pleasure of hitting the water dog. Seeing the arrows flying, the dark guard stepped forward to block the arrows, but they all fell to the ground soon after being hit by the arrows. Zhuo Ye helped Zhuo Xin to get up and dodge, but Li The arrow flew past his cheek, Zhuo Ye didn't care, he pushed Zhuo Xin away, got hit in his leg, and immediately knelt down, "Second son!"

Zhuo Ye's eyes turned red.

Seeing the arrow shot towards the fallen Zhuo Xin, Zhuo Xin closed his eyes, it was the sound of the arrow piercing the flesh, but there was no pain.

Zhuo Xin only felt that the whole person was blocked by someone, and when he opened his eyes, tears suddenly poured out, "Uncle Six!"

Zhuo Yuan threw him to the ground, the arrow directly hit Zhuo Yuan's back, and the blood fell down his back, Zhuo Xin was shocked!

"Let's go!" Zhuo Yuan said in a deep voice, his tone unbearable.

"Uncle Six!" Zhuo Xin's tears kept pouring out.

"Take Zhuo Xin away!" Fu Cheng and the other two guards beside Zhuo Yuan were stunned, and Zhuo Ye also stood up with his hands up.

Several people were frightened.

Fu Cheng stepped forward to help Zhuo Xin first, and Zhuo Ye also stepped forward.

"Uncle Six! Uncle Six!" Zhuo Xin struggled, but Fu Cheng and Zhuo Ye couldn't struggle. "Uncle Six, Ayue is still waiting for you! Uncle Six!"

Zhuo Xin struggled to be dragged away.

Others seemed to see Zhuo Yuan coming, and they all looked at each other and didn't dare to move.

Gao Sheng's eyes have been on Zhuo Yuan, and his eyes are looking at him with excitement like a poisonous snake.

Zhuo Yuan slowly got up, slowly turned to Gao Sheng, stretched his hand behind his shoulder, suddenly broke the arrow, and said coldly, "After so many years, are you still capable of this?"
