shark [rebirth]

The night in the grassland was quiet, the bonfire gradually weakened, people were drunk and sleepy, and dispersed one after another. There were drunk people everywhere, and they simply fell asleep on the ground.

Xu Jin commanded the attendants to send the few people back to the tent to settle down, then picked up Pei Heng and walked back to the snow-white round tent. The two of them were covered with a blanket side by side. Xu Jin listened to Pei Heng's breathing in silence, and slowly Close your eyes slowly.

Young Master Gu couldn't fall asleep all the time, lying on Yan Yunhou's chest, carefully scrutinized Hua Chong's handsome face under the moonlight that came in, and after looking at it for a long time, he mustered up the courage to lean over and kissed him on the lips, then he was at a loss. I was stunned for a while.

He still couldn't sleep, got up out of the tent, walked slowly to the river outside the camp with his head down, and looked at the moon in the water.

The little leather boots stepped on the grass, making a slight rustling sound. Lan Ya approached, jumped on the big blue stone and sat down, not sure whether she was drunk or sober.

"Why doesn't the princess rest?" Young Master Gu shook his robe and sat down on the rock.

"I think of my hometown." Lan Ya smiled, her eyes reflected the reflection of the moon in the water, just like the river reflects the moon in the sky.

Young Master Gu was silent for a moment, and asked, "Isn't the princess from the Anketu tribe? Isn't this my hometown?"

Lan Ya gave a low laugh, then raised her hand and pointed to a distant direction: "No, my hometown is there."

"When I was very young, there were seven tribes on the grassland, but they had not yet become one. My tribe was adjacent to the Darhan Mountains. The mountains were covered with snow all the year round, and the mountains were like spring. Then...then one day, another tribe led troops to suppress , My hometown is gone. When Luesa passes by, bring me back." Lan Ya said.

Her calf wrapped in boots was dangling in the air, and she smiled slightly: "That day, they were driving chariots and horses, and tens of thousands of jet-black arrows fell into the city on fire. They came to find the rumored endless wealth, Those rumors are rumored to be gorgeous and dazzling mineral deposits, with a gilded color..."

"Golden veins?" Young Master Gu asked in surprise.

Lan Ya nodded, and the night wind stroked her black hair.

"Lan Ya, it's time to sleep, don't think about it anymore." Pei Heng's voice suddenly came from behind.

Young master Gu tensed his back, looked back, and saw Pei Heng's long body standing tall, with picturesque eyebrows under the moonlight, he seemed drunk, but also exceptionally clear, he didn't know when he came over.

Lan Ya looked at the moon on the bluestone as if she had never heard of it, and murmured: "But, Pei Heng." She read the name slowly and slightly stiffly, her head gradually lowered, "Do you know that on our land , There are no such veins at all.”

"On our land, there are only invincible Manerma flowers, holding big bunches on the hillside and in front of the tent. The girls' sideburns are so beautiful..."

"But they flattened and burned the entire city, killing 9 people. Those people held swords and cursed violently on horseback. They were extremely angry. What were they angry about? The cavalry came and went, as if everything It never happened..."

Pei Heng said in a low voice: "Lan Ya, you are drunk."

Lan Ya seemed to be immersed in a nightmare, and said to herself: "But my hometown, my people, what is it? Who cares about the marma flowers that bloom from spring to next year?"

"Pei Heng." She looked up, her eyes filled with tears, "The flowers at the foot of Darhan Mountain will never bloom again."

Pei Heng sighed, stepped forward and gently pinched the back of Lan Ya's neck, Lan Ya closed her eyes and fell into his arms.Pei Heng said to Young Master Gu: "Go to Xu Jin and rest at his place for a night."

Young Master Gu seemed to have just come back to his senses. When he met Pei Heng's deep gaze, he felt that the whole person was seen through. He couldn't help being shocked, loosened his tightly clenched fingers, and lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yes."

Pei Heng sent Lan Ya back to the princess tent, and then walked through the quiet camp to Yan Yunhou's place.He took off his splendid brocade robe and put on a black slim-fit night gown. Yan Yunhou was dressed the same as him.

"Lan Ya shouldn't be allowed to get married." Pei Heng said lightly, "Although the Anketu department didn't participate, when Lueza brought her back, she had already remembered."

Yan Yunhou said: "It's a done deal, if Dayan rejects this princess, she will have a hard time in the future. Going to Yan Kingdom, we are still here."

"What's the matter with Young Master Gu?" Pei Heng asked, "The hatred of the country and the family, the pain of extermination, he reacted very much, but he endured it all the time."

Yan Yunhou paused his hand, and said: "He has forgotten, I... Maybe it's my fault."

Pei Heng didn't ask any further questions, and grabbed a long dagger casually. Marquis Yan Yun wore a sword close to his body, and the two of them sneaked out of the camp at night. Luesa handed over the prepared horse to the two of them, and watched them disappear into the dark night. distance.

Master Gu went to find Xu Jin as he said, and got into the tent. Xu Jin beckoned him to come and lie down.

"Xu Jin, I heard that there used to be seven tribes here, but now there are only six." Young Master Gu said.

"Well, Princess Lan Ya's clan was...annexed." Xu Jin hesitated for a while, and for some reason, he didn't use the word "clan extermination".

"Who? Who did it?" Young Master Gu asked.

Xu Jin said: "The Heshi Lie tribe is the tribe from which the Great Khan is born."

Young Master Gu was silent for a long time, and asked: "Lan Ya will definitely hate King Khan, but Luesa has good relations with King Khan's tribe..."

Xu Jin felt that his voice was getting lower and his mood was a bit strange, so he stretched out his hand to cover Young Master Gu with a blanket: "Go to sleep, the affairs of the royal family can't be explained by love and hate. Today is a friend, tomorrow is an enemy."

"Where did Hou Ye and Wang Ye go?" Young Master Gu asked a little sleepily.

"Go do something." Xu Jin patted him, "Go to sleep, and see him when you wake up."

Before dawn, Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou returned to the camp, their bodies were stained with a faint smell of blood, Yan Yunhou hugged the sleeping Young Master Gu back to the tent, Pei Heng took off his night clothes, turned his head sideways and saw the man with his arms on his pillow looking at him Xu Jin smiled and said, "What are you thinking?"

Xu Jin raised the corners of his mouth and said bluntly: "I want to see the prince in armor."

Pei Heng smiled lowly, picked up a wet towel to wipe his body, wrapped himself in a single robe and sat down: "After a while."

Before he could fasten his belt, Xu Jin stretched out his arms and brought him to lie down beside him. With his arms around Pei Heng, his palms brushed against the skin of Pei Heng's chest and abdomen under his slightly unbuttoned clothes, feeling that he was riding fast at night. And the clearly defined muscles after the fierce fight: "How is it? Some people are gathering troops to make trouble?"

"You..." Pei Heng trembled slightly, but he didn't stop Xu Jin's groping hands, and let him hug him acquiescingly, "The second son of the Great Khan and the youngest son are at odds. They lead their respective tribes and have secretly Dispatch a large number of soldiers and horses to slowly gather, I don't know where to fight. But unless your own people fight with your own people, otherwise the marriage will definitely be destroyed."

"Have to wait?" Xu Jin sniffed the breath on the back of Pei Heng's neck, and couldn't help hugging him even tighter. As soon as his fingers touched Pei Heng's skin, he couldn't help but think of the large tattoo totem, and instantly ignited stock impulse.

Pei Heng restrained himself, his breathing trembled slightly, and he grabbed Xu Jin's restless hand: "Wait until they get ready to go and then clean up...Xu Jin, don't you plan to go to sleep?"

Xu Jin stopped and asked after a while: "I want to do something to you, but... I think it will hurt you."

Pei Heng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Xu Jin probably didn't know the details of that incident. They all said that the shark was sexually promiscuous, and he was probably the most innocent shark since ancient times.

Pei Heng always made jokes without limits, he turned around and clasped Xu Jin's hand, gently squeezed his chin, and joked: "This king should worry about this, don't worry, I will let you 'Weep with joy', cry out a handful of pearls, okay?"

"Just miss my tears so much?" Xu Jin couldn't help laughing, he really didn't know what to do about that matter, but instinct told him that he was the one above, so he pulled Pei Heng into his arms and hugged him tightly, calmly He said softly, "You are the master, don't I have to be obedient to whatever you want?"

Pei Heng's breathing tightened, and he and Yan Yunhou galloped back and forth all night, leaning against Xu Jin's warm embrace, exhausted all over his body, he moaned a few times in a low voice, unaware of his evil taste The joke has already caused Xu Jin to think seriously, and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up the next day, it was already high in the sun. Not far from the tent, a pot was set up to cook goat milk, beef and mutton in the open air, and a suckling sheep with scorched skin and tender meat was roasting on the fire. Drinking and eating meat while basking in the sun, but Pei Heng and Xu Jin were woken up by Lu Esa through the curtain.

"Something happened in Wangcheng." Luesa said concisely in a low voice.

The two quickly got up to tidy up, and followed Luiesa to the main tent while fastening the belt of their outer robes.

The surrounding area of ​​the big tent has been cleared, and the soldiers guarded it closely. Marquis Yanyun and Diji Rouzhang are already waiting inside, Lan Ya's face is full of worry.

"It's the Great Khan. He was assassinated suddenly this morning. He was hit by a poisoned arrow and fell into a coma. The envoys were also implicated, but no one was killed. Now the tribal king's army has sealed off the city, and there is another problem with the guard camp. The entire king's city It has been hijacked," Luesa said.

"Someone fished in troubled waters?" Yan Yunhou said.

Pei Heng pondered for a moment, and said, "What's the situation in Wangcheng?"

"It's not encircling from the outside, but coercion from the inside. Almost all the ministers and nobles are there. All the tribes have mobilized troops to rescue their masters. Right now, they can only wait and see what happens." Luesa said.

Almost all the big shots in the northern border became hostages. A few casualties in the royal city would immediately cause chaos. The military power arrangement here is different from that of the Yan Kingdom, and all the tribes have considerable strength. This time it will be troublesome.

Pei Heng said: "I went to investigate last night. The second prince and the sixth prince mobilized [-] soldiers and horses each. They didn't dare to make a big fuss before. They could only move their luggage and food a little bit, but they still hoarded and mobilized a large amount. This reserve is obvious. Not aiming at the nearby royal city, at least to invade the northern border of the Yan Kingdom and break the marriage between the two countries in one fell swoop."

Yan Yunhou said: "Both sides are not small actions. They may not have the energy to do the affairs of Wangcheng, and there may be a third party involved."

Those two princes had always been the main faction in the DPRK and China. At the end of last year, they slaughtered three cities in the northern border. Once the two countries marry this time, the Great Khan will not be able to reuse them for the sake of diplomatic relations.The battle for the tribal throne has always been cruel, and the two are determined not to stand still.

The soldier came to report and knelt down on one knee in front of Luesa: "Reporting to the eldest son, there are about a thousand soldiers and horses besieging the king's city, and half of the guard camp has followed. The princes and nobles in the city have been controlled, and several factions are split. Send a message and order your subordinates to come to help, and all of them are intercepted, this time I am afraid this is the last time that the letter is sent out."

Luesa said in a deep voice, "There are [-] dead soldiers and [-] tribal troops in the Anketu tribe. There is a banquet in the royal city today, and all the important people should be in the palace...we have to attack the city from the outside and respond to the inner palace."

Seeing that he wanted to transfer troops to serve the king, Marquis Yan Yun persuaded him, "It's better to leave at least half of the dead soldiers to protect Lan Ya, let alone transfer all the soldiers and horses of the tribe."

"You can send dead soldiers to infiltrate the royal city, rescue the envoys first, and then find ways to avoid the casualties of the courtiers and nobles." Xu Jin said, "If there is a problem with the envoys, the marriage between the two countries will have to be postponed, and if there is civil strife in the court, we may not be able to return as scheduled. .”

Pei Heng thought for a while and said, "Luesa, you send out one hundred dead soldiers, five hundred tribal soldiers, plus twenty Xuanjia guards around me, and three hundred King Yan's army, to save the lives of the people in the royal city, and then wipe them out. Rebels. The rest of the troops stand still to prevent the second and sixth princes from changing."

Marquis Yan Yun closed his sleeves, took the soldier and horse amulet thrown by Pei Heng, smiled and said: "I don't have any manpower, I'm sorry to just watch, just lead the troops yourself. Are there any that are particularly pleasing to the eye and those that are particularly unpleasant? I'll help you take care of them and tidy them up."

Luesa didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No need, try not to kill anyone. If the Helian family dies, then it's best to let the Juqu family die as well. The number of people is about the same."

Lan Ya has been silent all the time. She is actually very happy to see the Great Khan die. This person treats her well, which does not mean that she can wipe out the hatred of the family, but it seems that Lu Esa is not gloating.

Empress Rouzhang bundled up her hair, stood up and said, "I'll go with you, even if the concubines are rescued, you don't have the strength to deal with it, even if the general's personal guards come forward, it will still be a big headache."

Marquis Yan Yun had exactly this intention, and he was very grateful when he heard the words, and he clasped his fist at Rou Zhang.

Everyone cooperates tacitly, as if they have returned to the time when they went to the north together in an instant, but now that there is no shadow of the former emperor, the young people have faded from their innocence and become mature and stable pillars of the country.

The two counted their hands and set off.Pei Heng summoned Lu Ting, the deputy general of the Zhaowu Army, looked at Lu Esa, and said, "The incident in Wangcheng happened suddenly, but with Marquis Yan Yun here, two hours is enough to solve it. The second and sixth princes are fully prepared, and we will wait After two hours, the king city will be relieved, and most of them will still go south as planned to attack. We must stop them outside Mohun Pass, otherwise the Zhaowu camp will go to war immediately before the two countries get married."

Lu Ting frowned: "Your Majesty, I can immediately send troops from the Sixth Army Division of the Peking Camp to help. If Mr. Shen can help, the Fourth, Ninth, and Eleventh Army Divisions that are currently on duty can also send troops immediately."

Pei Heng waved his hand: "No. I called you here to say this on purpose. I have handed over the tiger talisman. I must never mobilize you and Jin Yu's troops. Just send the news back and ask Shen Zhan to order the Ninth Army and the Eleven The army is preparing for the battle, and the scouts have expanded their detection range to outside the Mohun Pass, and I will cooperate with Luesa in the rear, and let them fight as they please, without waiting for my order."

Lu Ting hesitated to speak, his face was filled with the longing for Pei Heng to return to the camp and lead the army. Lu Esa, Xu Jin, and Young Master Gu all felt the hopelessness.

Seeing that he was disappointed, Pei Heng smiled and said: "I won't go, but there is one person whose order is just like mine. You write to Shen Zhan and ask him to take it with you."

Everyone was astonished and didn't react, but seeing Pei Heng looking at Xu Jin, holding him and taking him a step forward, he gestured to Lu Ting and said with a smile: "This is the warrior pardoned by the Qingyu Palace. Privileges, when the enemy invades abroad, you can act on behalf of the general. There is no need to ask for instructions for gathering troops and transporting supplies within 5 horses."

Xu Jin took a deep look at Pei Heng, and Pei Heng smiled at him with trust in his eyes.

Lu Ting reacted, and immediately took a pen and paper to write a brief letter, stamped his seal and presented it to Xu Jin: "Young Master Shen Zhan must know who your lord is, and this document is right to serve as evidence. You only need to show the warrior Zijin to enter the camp." Just wear it."

When Xu Jin heard Shen Zhan's name, he couldn't help but smile at Pei Heng. When they first met, Pei Heng borrowed Shen Zhan's identity, and now he can see the deity.

In the past, he said with a smile, but today it turned out to be true. Xu Jin took the uniform of the warriors from the Qingyu Temple, and Pei Heng brought Zhao Yebai to him. Xu Jin got on the horse, bent down and hugged Pei Heng, and Pei Heng sighed with emotion in a low voice : "My general."

Xu Jin's heart trembled, and he said softly, "Wait for me."

Then he rode his horse away, Zhao Yebai let out a long hiss, the peerless horse was unstoppable, and Juechen rushed towards Zhaowu camp.
