I am fish

"Grand Xie?" Seeing that Xie Fuchen looked strange, standing there without getting on his horse and muttering non-stop, the attendants had never seen him in such a state of despair, so they couldn't help but call him.

"En, um." Xie Fuchen's face was pale, the hand holding the carriage trembled uncontrollably, and he sat in the carriage full of thoughts.

The entourage raised their whips and went back to Xie's mansion, Xie Fuchen went into the study alone without doing anything, found the book, and looked for the grass circle.

The grass circle is still there, not lost.

After so many years, it seems that nothing has changed.

Touching the grass circle, Xie Fuchen couldn't bear to let go for a long time.

When things were like this, he understood everything, and understood how dangerous the situation he was in was. His opponent's plans were far beyond his imagination.

He carefully put the grass circle into his sleeve, pushed the door open and asked, "Where is Ah Xun!"

The house slave immediately called Ah Xun.

Xie Fuchen and Ah Xun stayed alone in the room, and asked about Xiaoshi and Alai in detail.Ah Xun didn't know why Xie Fuchen was so interested in these two people all of a sudden, he really didn't want to say more, so he casually mentioned a few words.But Xie Fuchen didn't give up, he insisted on telling her all the details, how Xiao Shi came to Xie's mansion, and how the two disappeared afterwards.

As for the old news that Xiao's defected to Xie's mansion at the beginning, then she had an affair with her father and gave birth to Alai, Ah Xun also heard from the elders in the family.As for why Alai served Wei Tingxu later and became "Zhen Wenjun", she overheard the conversation between Xie Suishan and Alai when she was at Nanya, and she had some clues but didn't know the details.

Why A Lai came to Wei Tingxu's side, Xie Fuchen already knew the cause and effect from Xie Taixing, and now he will go through the whole sequence of events in his mind for the past 20 years, Xie Fuchen sat down on the chair with a wry smile, Head down.

Ah Xun didn't know what happened to him, why he was so depressed all of a sudden.

"Go and call Ge Liu in." Xie Fuchen said.

Ah Xun left, and Ge Liu entered the room.

"Where is the corpse of the Xiao family you mentioned now buried?" Xie Fuchen held the teacup in his hand and rubbed it back and forth.

"Xiao's body was burned to ashes and thrown into the mass grave." Ge Liudao.

"……take me."

"Huh? Xie Gong, how can you go to that kind of place?"

Xie Fuchen ignored him at all, stood up with a sullen face and left.Ge Liu had no choice but to go out and quickly prepare the carriage.

On the way to the mass burial pit, Xie Fuchen buckled the tiger's mouth and bled, and his mouth was also bitten open.

It turned out to be like this...it turned out to be like this!

In the carriage, he sorted out all the things in these days, and finally sorted out all the tricks.He never underestimated the enemy, even if the opponent was a woman, he never neglected, but he never thought that he would fall into this matter... It was really unexpected.The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, this sentence is true.

When he arrived at the mass grave, he could smell the stench soaring a hundred steps away. Ge Liu held his nose and looked at Xie Fuchen hesitantly. Seeing that he was striding down without any hesitation, Ge Liu had no choice but to follow.

The corpses discarded in the mass graves are all unclaimed corpses. After many days of rain, most of the corpses have been completely changed, and their appearance is horrific. This is the most terrifying and desolate place outside Runing City.Xie Fuchen stepped into the muddy water mixed with the corpse water, and opened each corpse to check. A few starving and skinny wild dogs in the distance were disturbed by this movement, and hesitated whether to run away.

"Grand Xie... This, this is where you should come. Let me look for it!" Ge Liu picked up a thick wooden branch and struggled to lift the corpse. Xie Fuchen didn't speak or stop, and lowered his head Continue to turn them one by one with both hands.

I can never let you stay in this kind of place.

In early winter, Xie Fuchen was sweating profusely in the stinking mass grave, and kept saying to himself: Never!

The two searched for nearly an hour and finally found the charred corpses, which had been gnawed badly by wild dogs.

"That's it." Ge Liu felt a little nauseous, Xie Fuchen confirmed the corpse of one of the women, and stared at it for a long time.The corpse was scorched black and trampled on, its original appearance could not be seen at all, Ge Liu held back his nausea with a livid face, unexpectedly, Xie Fuchen hugged the corpse into his arms and cried bitterly.

"Xie, Mr. Xie..." Ge Liu really didn't know what he was possessed by, and it was useless to persuade him for a long time, so he had to stay with him.

After crying for a long time, he finally calmed down, Xie Fuchen actually picked up the corpse and wanted to bring it back to the residence.

Ge Liu followed behind him with his head down, puzzled.

On the way back, Xie Fuchen insisted on bringing the corpse into the carriage, Ge Liu was driving the carriage, thinking about Xie Fuchen's every move, he shuddered.

This corpse stayed in Xie's residence for one night, on the second day Xie Fuchen put it into a coffin made of nanmu wood, along with countless precious stones and jade objects and a long sword that had been hanging in his bedroom.

After Ge Liu came back yesterday, he had already informed the housekeeper and one or two slaves of Mr. Xie's strange behavior, spreading the word from ten to ten, which meant that the whole Xie's mansion knew about it.Everyone is already prepared for what strange things Xie Fuchen will do today, so it's not surprising to see them—you know, this coffin is the first-class coffin that the Xie family's direct lineage can only enjoy when they are buried, not to mention the rich funeral objects and his own treasures. I can no longer treasure the long sword that no one can touch.

Before closing the coffin, Xie Fuchen took out a straw ring from his sleeve, looked at the bird's head again and again, and then reluctantly put it into the coffin.

Runing's Liaoxi Mountain has a good view from the top of the mountain, and you can have a panoramic view of the lights of thousands of houses in the city.

Xie Fuchen buried the coffin on the top of Xishan Mountain, between two tall cypress trees.

The inscription on the tombstone is "the tomb of the old man Aqiong".Xie Fuchen sat with the little solitary tomb for a whole day, looking at these six characters, he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

He was going to leave eventually, he had so much to do, he couldn't linger for long again, like he did all those years ago.

……

When packing, Lingbi folded five or six sets of clothes for Zhen Wenjun, two jackets that had just been wrapped, an animal skin shawl, three pairs of shoes for different seasons, a lot of medicinal materials and heart mirrors. , There are all kinds of burdens, where can I hold them.

"Sister Lingbi, don't tidy up, it's too much. I'm going to northern Xinjiang to fight and not to enjoy the blessings. I don't need so many clothes, just enough clothes for two." Zhen Wenjun saw that she was still tidying up, I can't wait to fill up a whole car and send it to her, so I hurriedly stop her.

"How is this too much? Just a little more? Come and try this belt." Lingbi pulled her over and told her how to use the belt.This is a special leather wide belt, which can protect the body, and there are several notches to hang the dagger firmly on the waist.There is also a pair of military boots, which are warm, breathable and have a thick sole, so climbing mountains and wading is no problem.And this hat and that helmet... Zhen Wenjun stood in the room like a decoration, hanging Ling Bi one by one on her body to see if it fit, after trying for a long time, nothing seemed inappropriate, so she put them all on.

It was useless for Zhen Wenjun to persuade her for a long time. Lingbi packed five bundles and asked her to hang one on each shoulder, and wrap one on both arms around her waist. It was just right.

Wei Tingxu and Xiao Hua entered the room, seeing Zhen Wenjun's appearance, Wei Tingxu couldn't help laughing, and even Xiao Hua couldn't help moving the corners of his mouth, showing a "ridiculous" expression.

"Look, Sister Lingbi! Everyone said not to have so many!"

"But……"

Zhen Wenjun pressed Lingbi on the chair and sat down, put down all the burdens, rolled up his sleeves and showed her the iron wristband: "I don't need anything else, it is enough! It is so powerful, I can use a single wristband with knives, guns and sticks." Can be blocked back!"

Lingbi wanted to say something else, but didn't say anything.I wanted to hold on to a smile, but I didn't, and finally my eyes were red again.

Seeing Lingbi like this, Zhen Wenjun was at a loss, so he quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, squatted in front of her and said, "Sister Lingbi, why are you crying like an old mother? I'm going to kill the bandits. You should happily send me there."

"Sounds good, kill the Hu thieves! Da Yu knows how cruel those Hu thieves are in Chongjin! Why do you..." Lingbi really didn't want Zhen Wenjun to go, even though she had followed Wei Tingxu for many years, what Wei Tingxu was doing Lingbi didn't find it strange that she wanted to elect a female emperor, but in her mind, going to the battlefield and killing enemies was always a man's job.

"You are only 17 years old, and you have been injured a lot in the past few years. According to your rough-and-tumble personality, you are going to fight off the enemy. You just live with no one around you who can't even make a good bed. How can you compete with Hu Thief?"

"...Sister Lingbi, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. I don't like making quilts, but killing the enemy is unambiguous. Besides, I have more important things to do." Zhen Wenjun said very firmly, Lingbi did not Well, no matter what to say, I still feel very reluctant in my heart.How many strong men are sent to the front line in northern Xinjiang every year, and how many can come back alive?Even if they come back, most of them are missing arms and legs.Now that the momentum of rushing to Jin is fierce, and the battle is fierce, thinking of what kind of situation Zhen Wenjun will be in, Lingbi is extremely worried.But she is just a servant of the Wei family, what position does she have to say "no" to something that the eldest princess and the girl both agree to?

"Lingbi, don't worry too much, with Sister Wenjun's wit, nothing will happen." Wei Tingxu also comforted her.

Ling Bi didn't speak, just nodded lightly.

We will be leaving tomorrow, and tonight the Wei Mansion has a banquet to see Zhen Wenjun off.

Zhen Wenjun let go of a table full of good wine and good food. She knew that she wanted to eat meat on the northern line, and she didn't know when it was.Wei Lun toasted her personally, and said a lot of words to remind her to be careful. The eldest grandson's family also came and toasted her in turns.

"Drink less, we have to hurry tomorrow." Wei Tingxu couldn't see it, so he stopped him.

Wei Tingxu's speech at home has always carried a lot of weight, and when she said this, no one was uninterested, and they all sat behind their desks.Zhen Wenjun also sat down unsteadily, and Wei Tingxu saw that there was some wine residue on the corner of her mouth, so he wiped it off for her.

Zhen Wenjun looked at Wei Tingxu's face, his heart fluttered, and he couldn't help holding her hand.

The eyes of Wei Lun's family and the eldest grandson's family were quickly glued to each other. Zhen Wenjun knew that she had overstepped, but she didn't want to let go.

It is one thing to comfort Lingbi, but it is another thing to ask oneself.

Will she come back alive?Very hard.

Maybe she will never be able to return to Wei Tingxu's side, and she will never be able to drink as much as today.Her life is different from others, because a portrait of Wei Tingxu completely changed her life path.It was because of her lack of ability that she failed to rescue her mother, but she has no regrets to this day.

It is a great blessing to meet Wei Tingxu, and to be favored by her is a life without regrets.

She held Wei Tingxu's hand, and her burning eyes lingered on Wei Tingxu's eyebrows, lips and nose.

"Sister, there is something I want to tell you..."

Zhen Wenjun wanted to tell her everything, where the fate came from, how the many feelings along the way came about, and all the pity and admiration for her were stuck in his heart. Zhen Wenjun wanted her to know.

Just when she was about to speak, Wei Tingxu tapped her mouth with his fingertips to prevent her from continuing.

"Don't tell me now." The softness and nostalgia deep in Wei Tingxu's eyes were real, and Zhen Wenjun caught him straight.

"I'll talk about it when you come back safely. The wandering flowers in the garden are in bloom. Let's have a good time and get drunk. Then you can tell me what you think today, okay?"

Zhen Wenjun's heart was agitated, tears streaming down his face.

"Okay...okay. Sister, I will definitely, definitely come back alive."

Bright moon and few stars, tomorrow should be a fine weather.

After the banquet was over, Zhen Wenjun sat on the edge of the corridor and looked at the moon. The cold wind blew on her face, and the smell of alcohol had dissipated a lot.

Feeling someone coming from behind, Zhen Wenjun thought it was Lingbi, but when he looked back, it was Wei Tingxu.

Wei Tingxu supported the vermilion lacquer column and stood behind her on his own legs.

"Sister, your legs..."

Wei Tingxu smiled lightly: "Thanks to my sister who massages me every day, although I can't walk for a long time, my leg injury is much better."

Zhen Wenjun was very happy, but also a little sad, which meant that Wei Tingxu would not need her arms in the future.

Wei Tingxu sat beside her and looked at the moon with her.

The two of them didn't say anything, but Zhen Wenjun straightened his back a little.

Wei Tingxu leaned on her shoulder.

"You don't have to worry about me, you can go to work with peace of mind. I will wait for you to come back."

……

The expeditionary army was neatly lined up under the city gate of Runing, and all of them were wearing solid armor, shining sharply under the sun.If you take a casual look, you will only see a neat team, all of which are elite soldiers.But if you look closely, there are not only thirteen or fourteen-year-old young men among the recruits, but also many women, and even white-haired old men are standing among them.There is no fear on their faces, and the chilling look is exciting.

Grand Sima Xie Fuchen stood at the front of the line, holding a bowl of wine in his hand, and said loudly:

"Soldiers! Beards have been harassing us for a long time on the border of Dayu, killing my compatriots and trampling our mountains and rivers! Now that the battle is in dire straits, only you can keep Dayu's country! Drink this bowl of wine and kill all the thieves in the world!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Three loud shouts shook the sky.

Xie Fuchen drank the wine in one gulp and smashed the bowl on the ground.

The recruits also raised their heads to drink. After drinking this bowl of wine, they will leave their homeland in order to defend their homeland and relatives. They have their own calculations in their hearts.What will be waiting for them on the front line?Can they come back alive to see the lofty city of Runing again?See you again with your family?It's all an unknown.But they had no other choice but to plug up Da Yu's broken gap with flesh and blood.

Zhen Wenjun wears a heavy helmet and a silver jacket, and looks heroic.Stepping on the official road along the team, she turned her head frequently, the city of Runing was getting smaller and smaller, and her heart was getting more and more sour.

This time she went to Beijiang with the intention of dying, but Wei Tingxu's words held her heart to live, and made her nostalgic for the world again.

This is an unprecedented mood.

Under the care of her mother, she never thought about life and death. After her mother's accident, all her persistence in life was to save her mother.

Now she has a new direction, a new attachment.

It was Wei Tingxu who dragged her back from the abyss, and it was this light that illuminated a new direction.

wait me back.Zhen Wenjun looked at the blue zenith of Runing, looked in the direction of Wangjun Mountain and thought: I will definitely come back alive.

There are 3 people in Da Yu's army this time, the youngest is 11 years old and the oldest is 61. They rushed to the former customs day and night to support the frontline troops.Chong Jin may make a comeback at any time, they must rush to the front line at every moment, guard Da Yu's most important throat, and must not let Chong Jin go any further.

Because the emperor was in charge, the soldiers were very excited.

Li Ju rode at the front of the team himself. The warlord kept persuading him, saying that it was too dangerous to rush to the peak of the army, so His Majesty returned to the team to compare.Li Ju didn't listen to him at all, he still went his own way and rushed to the front, riding horses and drinking with the soldiers.

After sleeping in the open air for ten days, he finally fell ill, and the warlord didn't know whether to be nervous or relieved.

Hearing this news, most people in the army felt sorry for the emperor, and felt that it was really rare for Li Jugui to be able to share weal and woe with everyone even though he was a real dragon.Zhen Wenjun was very disdainful, thinking that he was just a fool who couldn't even do superficial skills.However, Zhen Wenjun kept all the tricks of buying people's hearts in mind one by one.She understands that the so-called swords and swords have no eyes battlefield is the Shura field, and everyone will have an accident. It is difficult to survive with her own strength, and she needs a partner who can fight side by side with her.

Because Li Ju suffered from the wind and cold, the army was divided into two groups. The vanguard rushed to the former customs first, leaving more than 2000 people to accompany Li Ju, and then rejoined at the front line after he recovered from his illness.And this vanguard was also divided into male and female armies according to gender. The men were in the front and the women were in the rear. The men rushed to the front customs with light equipment and left all the luggage for the women to be responsible for transportation.

"What kind of battle are you ladies! After I kill all the Hu thieves, you can come and sleep with me! Hahaha!"

When the men's department left such a remark, it made Zhen Wenjun feel sick.

She also wanted to rush to the front line to have a good time and impress these men.But those supplies of food and grass are also extremely important.Grandmother once said, "Soldiers and horses move before moving the baggage." The baggage is the root of victory in a war. I don't know who is commanding the Yu army now. It seems that there are really no generals available, and the entire marching strategy is quite messy.It's hard to decide if the luggage can't keep up with the army, and five thousand women and children are left to transport the luggage. What if they are cut off by the enemy?The northern line is extremely cold, and if there is no protection against the cold, it will freeze to death. How can we fight?Zhen Wenjun was upset, but he also knew that the overall situation should be the most important thing.She had no choice but to stay quietly and try her best to push the luggage to the former customs as soon as possible.

When the women's department arrived at the former customs, it was snowing heavily, freezing the recruits who had come from the South to the ground.Just at this time, more than 1000 remnant soldiers who retreated from the front line returned to the camp in the snowstorm. From a distance, they looked like a group of beasts that had been hungry all winter.

Zhen Wenjun stirred the newly transported corn porridge in the big copper furnace with a wooden stick. He heard from these remnant soldiers how fierce Chongjin was. Shoot arrows and arrows can pierce people's heads.

"So scary?" Following Zhen Wenjun to one of the women's clubs, Tsukaya Axi stopped making medicine in fright, "No wonder you were the only ones who survived out of 1 people."

When Ah Xi mentioned this, a group of people gathered in front of the fire and began to say how powerful this horse thief is. They fought desperately to be able to draw a tie with the horse thief, and all the weaker ones were killed. The remaining ones who can come back alive are all capable people, regardless of the serious injuries.

Zhen Wenjun served them porridge silently at the side, and did not reveal that most of these people were left behind by arrows in the back when they ran for their lives in panic, just listen to how far they can blow the cowhide.

The big pot of porridge was drunk clean, the medicine was applied and the cowhide was blown, and suddenly a shout came from a distance, and the oil soldiers immediately stood up, straightened their armor in a hurry, and gathered around the fire Stand up together.Zhen Wenjun stood behind the crowd, judging by the movement, it should be that a big person is coming.

Walking from the middle of the campsite on both sides of the snow field, a man dressed in black armor and wearing a silver helmet and red feathers came. This man has thick eyebrows, starry eyes, long beard reaching his chest, and a very tall figure. With one arm resting on a big knife at his waist, he walks like a gust of wind. .

"General Wei!" Everyone suddenly shouted in unison, startling Zhen Wenjun.

General Wei?He is from the Wei family?

Today's court structure is that the noble family occupies a high position, and it is difficult for the poor family to be promoted. Basically, the children of the rich clans recommend each other to form a network of forces, which can cooperate with each other to check and balance the hostile clans.Whenever you hear an official surnamed Xie, it must be a relative of Xie Fuchen, and if you hear an important official surnamed Wei, you must be a descendant of the Wei Lun clan, and the same goes for Yan, Zuo, Lin and others.Originally, the Feng family was also very active, but under the implication of Hong Ai, he had already died in sevens and eighties.

Therefore, it is extremely possible that General Wei is a relative of Wei Tingxu, but the iron-pillar general and Wei Tingxu do not have the slightest similarity in appearance.

This person is Wei Yun, the eldest son of Wei Lun's brother.After Xie Fuchen's youngest son, Xie Changliu, was withdrawn, Wei Yun, who had been stationed four hundred miles west of the former customs, received a military order to lead his troops to the former customs immediately to resist the onslaught of rushing southward from Shanxi.At that time, Wei Yun only had less than [-] armored guards in his hands, and he had to rush four hundred miles to the front customs to fight against the enemy, wouldn't it be nonsense?He was already exhausted from traveling all night, and everyone rushed to Jin Dynasty bravely. After receiving this order, Wei Yun was ready to die. Unexpectedly, although Xie Changliu was dismissed from office, he did not let the former customs come out, and led people to attack Chongjin from the rear. .And Wei Yun took advantage of the situation to cooperate with Xie Changliu to attack back and forth, and the Jin army barely retreated, and Wei Yun also lost an arm.

Followed by Wei Yun was Army Commander Sun Yi, the two whispered something as they walked, Yamen General Lin Jian beckoned all the soldiers to gather in the camp one mile ahead.The big camp can accommodate 1000 people. It is covered with a thatched roof, surrounded by cloth, with carpets and tables inside, and a brazier hanging on the wall.

Zhen Wenjun and other pawns were not eligible to enter the camp, so they could only stand on tiptoe outside the camp and look inside.

Changsun Yi spoke first, telling everyone about the current battle situation in the former customs.

Last night, the Jin army attacked the pass unpreparedly. Yu's army resisted tenaciously, but in the end it was a disastrous defeat.Now Shanguan has been occupied by the Jin army, and the situation is extremely dangerous, they must find a breakthrough to regain Shanguan.No matter men, women, old or young, whether they have fought or not, if they come to the front line and want to survive, they must obey the command.

Wei Yun took a step forward and spoke, even though he was inside the camp, his bell-like voice could be clearly conveyed to everyone outside the camp, even the women standing at the outermost edge of the crowd could hear it clearly Chu.

"We don't have any time to breathe! We are going to launch a surprise attack tonight!" Wei Yun's voice broke through the wind, and the hoarse and thick voice shook everyone's eardrums, "This is our only chance! The thief must not have imagined We just lost the battle and dare to fight back! Yes! It’s just that they can’t think of it! This is a risk! It’s life as a bet! But we have no other way! Once the former customs is broken, you all know that Da Yu will suffer Your fate! Your parents will be disembowelled! Your wives and children will be trampled like pigs and dogs! Are you willing to see this happen! Are you going to be slaves to the subjugated country! Kill the front line! Take back the pass!"

Wei Yun's few words quickly ignited the hearts of the recruits, no matter inside or outside the camp, the sound of "kill" resounded through the sky.

Zhen Wenjun didn't see Li Ju, so he wondered if he was still ill.I thought that these old and weak women and children would have to train for at least a few days before they could fight the enemy when they first came to the northern front. I didn't expect to make a surprise attack tonight!Zhen Wenjun's heart was pounding, both excited and nervous.Although she has armor on her body, she has no weapons at hand.There are also daggers and golden cicada knives, but these are not sharp blades that can kill the enemy.

Just when she was thinking whether to leave the women's department in the camp to take care of the food and grass, Wei Yun ordered someone to distribute weapons to the recruits.Zhen Wenjun was given a spear that was half rusted. The tip of the spear was crooked and full of cracks.

Wei Yun stepped onto the wooden platform where the camp flag was planted, condescendingly let everyone see him clearly by the light of the brazier.

"Whether you are a man or a woman, or who you were before today, I only hope that when the sun rises tomorrow, you will be the hero who kills the barbarians! This bowl of wine! I respect everyone!" Wei Yun raised his head and drank the wine for a while. After cleaning it, he dropped the wine bowl heavily on the ground.

Zhen Wenjun was also given a bowl of wine. After drinking it, his whole body became hot, and his blood was agitated!Looking at the rusty spear, she secretly swore in her heart that she must slash the ferocious beard with her hands, and avenge the soldiers and people who died tragically for me, Da Yu!

Yamen General Lin Jian stepped onto the wooden platform and walked behind Wei Yun, Wei Yun turned his ear to listen to his report on the military situation.Lin Jian didn't speak, but took out a knife and slit Wei Yun's throat.

Under the flames, Wei Yun didn't even have time to scream, so he fell to the ground and twitched while clutching his blood-spitting neck. Everyone witnessed what happened on the high platform, but they couldn't react for a while.Lin Jian, whose face was covered with blood, laughed loudly, and Sun Yi, the commander of the army, pointed at Lin Jian and shouted:

"Take him!"

Apparently Chang Sun Yi didn't expect such a thing to happen. Just when the soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed up to the high platform to pick Lin Jian off, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes and shouts from the periphery!

The remnant soldiers who had just recovered their lives from the front line heard the terrible sound of horseshoes, their faces turned blank with fright, and they cried out:

"The thieves are coming! The thieves are coming!"

This was Zhen Wenjun's first night on the front line, and it was also a night she will never forget.

Chong Jin's army broke into Yu's camp and killed them all.All soldiers discarded their helmets and armor, and the blood that would be provoked disappeared.

This is war.

Only when Zhen Wenjun fled around with his head in his arms did he really understand that this is not a game, not a story told by his grandmother, but a war where bloody Fuqiu may die at any time.
