He Suifeng: If you see Yijing, please thank him for me and ask him to continue to be the father of Tingxue and Tingyu.

When Xiao Tingxue was still taking Lu Qiu Eryang to settle accounts in a leisurely manner, He Suifeng came to the door in a hurry.

"Weili lost that night attack."

Xiao Tingxue asked inexplicably: "It should be a common thing to lose, we gave everything to Ling Junhou..."

"But that battle was too weird."

"Where did this start?"

"Originally when the two armies were at war, Hu Mang was defeated steadily by An Wu's army, who was waiting for work. Then I don't know what happened. The reckless cavalry were defeated and fled."

Xiao Tingxue's right hand that moved the abacus paused.

"This situation is not good..."

Luqiu Eryang asked curiously, "Where did you say that?"

"If we win the battle, no one doubts us. If we lose unfortunately, we can use 'victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs' to get away with it. Now we see victory, but we still lose..."

He Suifeng also answered: "Marquis Ling Jun is not such an inappropriate person, I am afraid that he has long thought about a battle to decide the outcome, but because of another change, he had to stop the plan..."

Lu Qiu Eryang was a little dizzy by what the father and son said, and immediately decided to ask straight to the point: "Then what should we do?"

When Xiao Tingxue was still hesitating, he suddenly heard someone calling He Suifeng's name outside the door, he and Lu Qiu Eryang could only wait inside the house.

After a while, He Suifeng entered the room impatiently again, before he could say a word, he stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Tingxue up, and said to him: "There is a good horse downstairs, you just ride it and go straight to the door." Go to Yijing, and don't come back!"

"What's the matter?" Lu Qiu Eryang was terrified by He Suifeng's surprise.

Xiao Tingxue also pushed He Suifeng's hand away and asked, "Speak clearly, why are you driving me away now?"

He Suifeng sighed for a long time: "I just received the news that someone saw that both Wei Li and I had contacts with Han businessmen like you. In addition, Wei Li failed in the expedition, and now it has become an impeachment against me. reason!"

Xiao Tingxue, who grew up beside Yijing since he was a child, has always heard enough of all kinds of impeachments and slanders. Naturally, these things can't move him in the slightest. Instead, he said nonchalantly: "So what, Chaotang On top of that, these memorials are commonplace, if we run away like this, are we guilty of guilty conscience and frightened?"

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." He Suifeng shook his head helplessly, "Emperor Humang is bound to win this expedition, but first we blocked it, and then there was no news from Shao Yankang. Now that Wei Li is also at a disadvantage, he is bound to be impatient, otherwise why would he kill his own Wang Qing, the princess' princess, to show his determination to declare war? Now is the time for him to be suspicious. I am a Hanchen, and some people say that I am with Wei Li is an inner ghost, and he secretly colluded with someone like you, I'm afraid he can't help but not believe it."

Xiao Tingxue bit her lower lip when she heard the words, and turned to pull up He Suifeng and Lu Qiu Eryang from left to right.

"If that's the case, then leave! Call the Helian siblings, let's leave now!"

"I can't go..."

He Suifeng's regretful voice made Xiao Tingxue stop.

"Why?" Xiao Tingxue asked, "Father can hide you and won't tell anyone! Your son Uhati is still in the Central Plains. You can be an ordinary citizen with him, so what's wrong with that? Woolen cloth?"

"If I leave, no one will be able to stop the emperor from chasing and killing you. I have been in Humang for more than [-] years, and at least some forces can stop me for a while and buy you time to escape."

"Mr. Luqiu", Xiao Tingxue did not continue to entangle with He Suifeng, but told Luqiu Eryang: "Mr. Annoyance, take the Helian siblings and leave Hu Mang now, and tell me the situation." Father."

"Listen to the snow!"

"what are you saying?!"

Both of them wanted to scream.

"You don't want me to go back, how can I explain to your father and father?!" Lu Qiu Eryang looked at him with a broken expression.

Xiao Tingxue's face was as usual: "I won't leave him here alone. Just go, I will find a way to take him... ah..."

Luqiu Eryang saw Xiao Tingxue screaming in pain, her body was shaking and about to fall, she didn't have time to think about it, she quickly supported him, and then looked up for a closer look, it turned out that it was He Suifeng who beat Tingxue with a knife. Fainted.

"You are..."

"Take the horse and take him away!"

He Suifeng's voice was as firm as a green hill and rock, but his eyes looking at Xiao Tingxue were as soft as the melting snow in spring.

"What about you?"

"As long as you can escape, I have no regrets."

Lu Qiu Eryang thought, at least he still has a little regret - he has never heard his long-lost son and daughter call himself father.

"What do you want to say to him?" Lu Qiu Eryang helped Xiao Tingxue up, and finally asked He Suifeng, "No matter what you want to say, I will tell him every word."

"I have nothing to say..." He Suifeng shook his head, "If you see Yijing, please thank him for me and ask him to continue to be the father of Tingxue and Tingyu."

"I see." Lu Qiu Eryang helped Xiao Tingxue onto the horse, turned to He Suifeng and said, "Don't worry, even if I die, I will send him back to the army commander."

After saying that, he swung his whip and swung away, leaving He Suifeng looking across the sky alone.

When Lu Yichuan heard that the servant came to report the news that "Gu Xiaowu is invited", it was still in the middle of the night.

Although he didn't know what happened, he didn't dare to delay, got up and dressed immediately, left the mansion in a hurry, and went straight to the prime minister's mansion.

Gu Xiaowu had obviously been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he didn't exchange greetings, but handed the secret letter sent by Yijing to him, and told him: "Things have changed, we have to make plans as soon as possible. Do it."

Lu Yichuan read the letter carefully, then found a candle and burned it.

"But this is too sudden..." Lu Yichuan hesitated.

"Brothers of the Gan family lost their favor, so they may not have no chance." Gu Xiaowu made up his mind.

"Then what is the reason?"

"Conspiracy."

"It's easier said than done?"

"Your Majesty has gone to the northwest, and the guards in the palace are lax at the moment. Those attendants have already followed our arrangement. As long as they can catch Prince Xingzhu, how difficult is it to charge the brothers of the Gan family with treason?"

A few days after the troops withdrew to Sucheng, due to the secret care of Gu Laiqiu and Mu Yiyang, Nanrong Juncong's condition did improve a little.

After Xing Sheng arranged everything properly, he took the time to go to the resting place of Nanrong Juncong. After making sure that there was no one around, he quietly pushed the door open and stepped into it gently.

"Brother, I'm here." He whispered.

"Your senior brother is not here," Gu Laiqiu agreed, "He went out to find some medicinal materials for Juncong and Huajing."

Hearing this, Xing Cheng turned around the screen and saw Gu Laiqiu administering needles to Nan Rong Juncong alone.

"Wait a minute, there are still a few more injections." Gu Laiqiu didn't look at Xing Sheng, but buried himself in his work.

Xing Sheng didn't bother, and quietly waited by the side.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Gu Laiqiu let out a long breath, then put away the thin needle, took the green tea poured by Xing Cheng, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Do you want to eat something? There are no good things in the army, but at least you can eat enough."

Gu Laiqiu smiled and said, "Why do I still need food? Don't worry, I won't starve to death."

"Healed from a serious injury, eat as much as you want."

As Xing Cheng said, he went outside the door, and brought food back after a while.

Gu Laiqiu picked up the steamed bun and divided it into two, he and Xing Sheng were half of each other, and ate the pickles bit by bit.

"Why haven't I seen Changming and Yijing these days?"

"Commander..." Xing Sheng paused for a moment, then changed his words: "The general was worried that his recklessness would change, so he condemned the third battalion on the left of the Ningwu army, took Chang Ming with him, and went to the border to meet him secretly. But he himself... Because of retreating to Sucheng, some of the generals are dissatisfied and often embarrassed, and he has to spend some time to rectify, but You Zhouxian and I have become idlers."

Ningwu's army was originally Yijing's personal soldiers, and Youzhouxian's Anwu army was also in need of recuperation, so naturally they would not cause trouble in front of Yijing.

"The general is very busy, I have to ask for him, how is Master Huajing?"

"Don't worry, although he will inevitably feel some discomfort during the treatment process, there must be a time when he will see the light again."

"how long will it take?"

"It's about a month." Gu Laiqiu took a sip of hot soup and continued: "He told me that no matter whether his eyes are good or not, he will go back to Huacheng."

It was rare that when the master and the apprentice had gossip, someone would come to disturb them again.

When Gu Laiqiu heard the sound of footsteps, he hid already, while Xing Cheng waited for the knock on the door, and then slowly put down the steamed bun in his hand, and went to open the door.

"Zhao Zhongjun? This place is used by the Marquis Ling Jun to recuperate. May I ask why you came here?"

The other party saluted Xing Sheng eagerly, and explained: "I don't dare to disturb Lord Hou's rest, it's just that the situation is urgent, please save my army commander's life!"

Xing Sheng made a lot of guesses in his mind, but he still pretended to be calm and asked on the face: "Where did you say this? How did you come to the point where your life is at risk before the reckless attack?"

"It was my army commander who accidentally offended the general... The general will punish him by military law..."

"What made you angry?"

"Yes... yes..." Zhao Zhongjun faltered, unable to speak, saw Xingcheng looking at him with burning eyes, and then hurriedly explained: "The commander of my family is just loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has no other thoughts, just a moment of speech Accidentally..."

"If Zhong Jun refuses to speak clearly, there is nothing I can do to help."

"My lord! Your lord can't do it! The whole army knows that your lord has always been close to the general. If your lord stands idly by, the life of our army commander will be over!"

"I'm afraid I helped your army commander indiscriminately, and I'm going to die in Jiuquan."

Xing Cheng sneered, ignored Zhao Zhongjun's expression, turned around and walked towards the general platform, Zhao Zhongjun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly chased after him.

Naturally, Xing Sheng didn't come to intercede, he just came to watch a good show, and if necessary, he would naturally help Yi Jing build a good stage.

When You Zhouxian saw him coming, he nodded lightly as a greeting, the two raised their eyes towards the general platform, and they saw Yijing Gao sitting on it, kneeling in front of another army commander with his hands tied behind his back.

"This general has issued three orders and five orders. If there is no general order, you must not go out of the city to meet the enemy without authorization." Yijing's face was stern. As the commander of an army, if you commit crimes knowingly, if you don’t follow your military law, wouldn’t this military order be empty talk?!”

"No... I don't dare!" The army commander quickly explained: "I just thought that Hu Mang's foundation in the deserted city is not stable right now, so he can fight!"

"If so, why don't you report it?!"

"Xiaguan...Xiaguan..."

The reason, everyone is well aware of it, it's nothing more than seeing Yijing retreating to Sucheng, they think it's majestic, how can they suffer such uselessness?Relying on Yijing's unstable foundation, he dared to provoke.

"If you can't tell the reason, then don't say it!" Yijing slapped the table next to him heavily, and called the sergeant: "Drag on! Military law!"

"Yijing!" The army commander yelled in panic, "I am the commander of an army, you can't kill me! How dare you kill me?!"

"This general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, why can't I kill you?" Yijing asked without changing his face.

Seeing that he was struggling to no avail and being dragged further and further away by several sergeants, the army commander didn't care too much, he just wanted to save his own life, so he immediately changed his words and admitted his mistake, shouting again and again: "Your officer knows your mistake! Your officer knows his mistake!" Yes! General, please spare me!"

The generals under the general stage looked at each other, but no one spoke, even Zhao Zhongjun, who was thinking of pleading just now, was silent at the moment, and even Xing Cheng's gaze was dodging left and right.

"General, please." Xing Cheng walked out of the line slowly, and saluted Yijing: "Commander Yu has been in the army for many years, and he has also made military achievements. Although he is obsessed with ghosts, please remember that he is loyal to the general and knows his mistakes. For the sake of reform, let him be spared once, and allow him to take his crimes and make meritorious service before the army."

Since it was Commander Ningwu who spoke, and You Zhouxian also echoed a few words casually, Zhao Zhongjun immediately rushed forward and was busy apologizing for his own commander. This time, Yijing thought for a moment.

The army commander's crying and begging for mercy continued, without stopping, as he walked further and further away, I'm afraid Yijing would have to wait for the head to fall to the ground if he lingered for a while.

"Okay..." Yijing looked at Xingcheng and said leisurely: "Since you pleaded for him and he knew he was wrong, let him go."

The orderly soldiers around received the order arrows, and immediately walked away briskly.

"Nanrong Xingsheng", Yijing called the commander of Ningwu, without any sympathy: "You beg for him, I will spare him once, but if he has another time, I will deal with you together! "

"Yes, the subordinate understands."

Xing Cheng listened to the exclamations beside him, and bowed his head respectfully.

You Zhouxian asked him in a low voice: "The commander of the army should have never met you before, are you really not afraid of death?"

"It's not appropriate to kill generals now." Xing Sheng replied.

"I'm afraid it's still for the general's prestige."

Xingcheng smiled without saying a word, turned his head to look at Yijing, but his smile froze on his face——Yijing was on the general platform, getting up slowly, and when he raised his feet to leave, suddenly there was an attendant He ran over and whispered a few words beside Yijing, and Yijing set his eyes on Nanrong Xingcheng.

"Great Army Commander", as expected, another attendant came beside Xing Sheng at some point, "Your Majesty announces your audience."

Ps: Gu Xiaowu has been wooing the guards in the palace from the very beginning. It is also mentioned in the previous article: when Gan Biao killed Gan Yi and blamed Chang Ming, she asked the guards to take care of Gan Yi who was lying dead in the palace. Let Gan Yi really die; when the emperor announced her audience due to the message of the plague, she also received hints from the guards' eyes before entering the palace; later Gan Yi and Prince Xingzhu got closer, because the guards were listening to her Helpful.
