Yijing: When this case came into my hands, I was in a daze.

After Chang Ming and Lan Mo arrived at the lost city, they split up. While sending people to surround the city, they hurriedly prepared dry firewood, dry grass, kerosene and thick wine. According to Yijing's instructions, they set up firewood piles with the city gates on all sides, and surrounded the city with wine jars. By the moat, people were sent to eat fire and keep watch.

The soldiers of the two battalions worked together, and in addition to the winter in northern Xinjiang, it was not difficult to find dry firewood and thick wine, but it took only half a day to make preparations. Occasionally someone would poke their heads out of the lost city, but nothing else was done.Lan Mo was finally able to pause for breath. Seeing that Chang Ming beside him was also sweating profusely, he took a clean handkerchief and handed it over: "Wipe off the sweat first, it's freezing cold, so as not to catch the wind and cold."

"Thank you." Chang Ming took it, and suddenly felt a chill on his face, as if the sweat in his hair had been condensed into ice, making his hair stand on end, frowning and looking up, only to find that little snow had fallen sporadically.

"It's snowing." Lan Mo said softly. When Chang Ming was speechless, he suddenly heard a report from Lan Mo's subordinate Liu Yedong, saying that Qu Liying and Huangquan Forest were attacked by gangsters, and Xing Cheng did it to save her. He was seriously injured and unconscious, fearing that his life was in danger.Lan Mo was shocked when he heard the words, but he was at a loss at the moment, so Chang Ming persuaded him from the side: "The people in the Tai Hospital are already battered and slow to move, why don't you ask the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion to lead me to the Ningwu Military Doctor for treatment." After waiting for Lan Mo Mo nodded, and Chang Ming summoned Helian Qingxian, telling him to find Lu Qiueryang and save her quickly.

The younger brother only left for a while, and the elder sister He Lianxian hurried over to pay a visit to the battalion commander.

"Guliang Yiqing's whereabouts seem to be unknown, and the officials searched for many places..." Before she finished speaking, Chang Ming quickly raised his hand to block her, and after looking around, he was sure that no one cared about their conversation , then hinted to He Lianxian lightly with his eyes not to show off, and asked in a low voice: "Have you asked other people?"

"Never... Gu Liang Yiqing seemed to be acting strangely before, and the officials didn't dare to ask more questions..."

"Then pretend not to know, and follow Chu Guangliang's arrangements for the rest of the matter, and I will return in a moment."

He Lianxian nodded lightly.

Yijing and Qu Liying led the people in the imperial hospital to inspect the black grasses that were dug up one by one. Suddenly, an imperial doctor picked out a herb from it, beat his chest and scolded: "I have told you thousands of times, and these scorpions are going to kill you again." I mistook this black weed for black grass and dug it up. The black grass is clearly a round leaf, and this black weed is a thin leaf. How could someone not be able to tell them apart, thinking that they would lose their souls and lose their minds?!"

Yijing sighed, and Owen leaned forward, took the black weed and asked the digging sergeant to identify it carefully, and if he failed to distinguish, he would be severely punished.

Before Chang Ming stepped forward, he vaguely smelled blood. Looking around, only Yi Jing looked uneasy, and immediately frowned but didn't ask too many questions. He asked Yi Jing out of the crowd on the pretext of reporting something.

"If it's not about the siege, then there's no need to ask." Yijing said preemptively.

Chang Ming was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined, and then heard Yijing's warning: "No one is allowed to enter the Lost City without an order from the official."

"Yes." Chang Ming saluted respectfully. Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yijing asked, "Is there anything else?"

"You are hurt?"

Yijing paused for a moment, and then replied honestly: "The injury is on the flesh, it's not a serious problem, it will heal after a while... Don't worry about it." No change.

Chang Ming silently agreed, since there are important matters in Lost City, he should not stay for long, and he said goodbye immediately and left, met Lu Yichuan and Chai Jinli on the way, and returned to the place where the Sixth and Seventh Battalions were stationed together.

"How about Lost City?"

Lan Mo asked the three of them to sit down, poured hot water and explained: "There are about two thousand rebels, and there are other defectors in the city. I heard that although Huancheng has General Bai to help, there are still many ignorant people who want to Dedicated to the rebels, in order to survive."

Lu Yichuan nodded, but Chai Jinli on the other side was puzzled and said, "To survive? How can I survive by joining the rebel army?"

Chang Ming explained: "These rebels spread rumors, and there are other rumors that they can avoid disasters because they obey the way of heaven, so the people who suffer from the epidemic are healthy and safe, so the people are restless."

When Chai Jinli heard this, he seemed to be thinking, and stopped talking. Lu Yichuan said distressedly: "Is this siege of the city inappropriate? The officer was ordered to investigate the case of rumors. If the two armies are at war, if it is allowed, can you put down the officer and sneak into the city?"

Lan Mo frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Chang Ming smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, the commander has already made up his plan. Besides, once the two armies fight, swords have no eyes. Your lord's intention to sneak is too dangerous. If there is a mistake, The lower officials and others have no choice but to raise their heads and return to their orders."

"But the Son of Heaven has an order..." Lu Yichuan said, seemingly displeased.

"My lord, don't worry about this matter. Please discuss it later." Lan Mo and Chang Ming glanced at each other and said calmly. Chai Jinli looked around carefully. Although everyone was talking and laughing at Yan Yan, it seemed particularly weird , so I didn't say much, just bowed my head and obeyed orders.

After being busy all night, Lu Yichuan and Chai Jinli stayed near the Lost City due to their investigation, while Yijing and Qu Liying went north to Huancheng.

Huancheng is not far from Micheng, but it takes only an hour to drive forward, and Huancheng is [-] miles northward, which is the cold city where Bai Xiangying garrisons.The epidemic started in Huancheng and spread to Hancheng. The prefect of Huancheng inevitably infected many people. The army guarding the city forcibly isolated the infected people. The city defenders were in a state of chaos, intending to flee to the lost city, but at that time Bai Xiangying made a decisive decision and sent his general, Song Qunwen, to come to support them, and it was only in exchange for a moment of peace.

When Yijing arrived, the frost and snow were falling, and he occasionally heard soldiers weeping in a low voice. After asking carefully, he found out that General Song Qunwen personally led the sergeant to guard the epidemic and was trapped in the north of Huancheng. Violating the military order, I am afraid that if the rescue is not timely, the general will die in vain.

Qin Zuoxi was listening, and couldn't help crying, Yijing whispered a few words of comfort, and hurriedly sent someone for diagnosis and treatment, the eunuch also came in a hurry, and explained the entanglement with Qu Liying in detail.

"I'm afraid I can save people's lives, but I can't save people's hearts." The prefect said anxiously, "Since the rumors spread, the people have become eccentric, and many of them intend to defect to Cheng Lei, the traitor in the lost city. This..."

"Treason and disobedience are crimes that cannot be punished." Yijing said decisively, "I heard that Cheng Lei's family lives in Huancheng, where are they?"

The prefect immediately said with emotion: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know something. Cheng Lei is too cunning. Since the news of his rebellion came to Huancheng that day, the subordinate officials sent people to look for his family. They have disappeared without a trace. It has been premeditated!"

Qu Liying raised her eyebrows and didn't say much, she said to Yijing: "The lower official once asked the imperial doctor that this disease will not be cured overnight, and many times of medicine are needed, and the black grass around the forest of Yellow Springs has already been dug up by others. Clean, we don't have much..."

"I have been traveling between the lost city and the Huancheng a lot in the past few days, exploring the forest, escorting medicinal herbs, and please take care of the rest of the deployment." Yijing agreed with Qu Liying, and Qu Liying sincerely replied: "Thank you, the army. long."

The little soldier who was crying stopped after being comforted by Yijing a few words. He didn't expect that the general would come back and frighten him very much.

"I have something to ask you."

"Sir, please tell me." The little soldier replied quickly.

"Cheng Lei's rebellion, where did it come and go? What you know, let's talk about it in detail."

"Yes yes yes..." The little soldier hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't understand what happened, but that day Mr. Cheng suddenly coughed up a lot of blood, his forehead was hot, and the military doctor ran back and forth several times before talking to General Bai. Saying that it was caused by the plague, General Bai locked up Mrs. Cheng to prevent her from running around and infecting others. Unexpectedly, an hour later, he ran out of the barracks and led the two thousand soldiers who were infected with the plague and followed him loyally. When General Bai is busy running around..."

"Is Cheng Lei always so disobedient?"

The little soldier thought about it seriously, and said: "The villain heard people say that he was dissatisfied with General Bai, but he didn't do anything to be sorry for General Bai, but he didn't have to fight with General Bai. Mobilized him to go to the northwest, he said that he was sick here and hurt there, so he just hid, and from time to time he took leave and went back to Huancheng to be with his family. General Bai didn't want to see him anymore... You said this person, really It's useless enough!"

"Then why are the rumors coming—there is a lesson from the heavens, the Xingzhu is not in power, and the Jiangyuan is facing the dynasty, which violates the law of heaven and condemns the common people?"

The little soldier said with a sad face: "How did this villain know? The villain just heard this sentence and didn't even understand the meaning of this nonsense. It seems to be related to Xingzhu? Didn't I hear that His Majesty is not Xingzhu... "He seemed to realize something, and quickly shut up and stopped talking.

He seemed to be aware of an elegant fragrance of flowers.

Something gently scraped across his eyelids. Although he closed his eyes tightly, he couldn't see it, but at that moment, the feeling was like a willow-leaf knife, a long sword with a green edge, piercing the darkness and nothingness in front of him, and the light and shadow appeared faintly, becoming more dazzling, blinding him. Awaken from the dark.

He finally opened his eyes.

The old dream is vague, and things are changing.It should be the season of flower fall, and the flower rain in the courtyard of the general's mansion has not been dreamed for many years. The blooming flowers have taken away the infinite scenery, leaving only the dead to die, and the vegetation to be barren.He knew that this was just a dream, and he intended to sink but was sober in his heart. When the last petal withered in front of him, a line of muddy tears ran down his cheeks, submerged in the loess tombstone, and a figure gradually emerged from the flying dust.

"Brother..." Xing Cheng whispered.

The person who came was a man with a wide robe and wide sleeves, complicated incantations, a self-satisfied and handsome appearance, empty eyebrows and eyes, long hair half loose, and wearing a dragon crown on his head.

Seeing Xingcheng like this, the man felt so sad that it was hard to put it into words, his expression turned to pity, and he asked Xingcheng in a low voice: "What's your name..."

"Xing Sheng... Nan Rong Xing Sheng... Nan Rong Xing Sheng, the eldest son of Ling Junhou..."

The man responded silently, Xing Cheng asked sadly: "Why did you come here, is your injury better?"

"Sleeping for several years in the cold and heat, I don't see each other. I can't leave this place, I can only meet you like this. How can fate play tricks... Junior brother, don't you want to come back?"

Xing Sheng still had the eyes of Gujing Wubo over there, and he never showed any emotion.

"It's not that I don't know what brother means, it's just that I'm obsessed with it too much, and I've been half-mad...Love and hate things outside the body, loess is a hundred years, but I'm doomed to be a mortal body, I can't break free from the entanglement, I can't comprehend death and life, I wish For one person in the world of mortals..."

The man sighed sadly: "I know your pain, but the master is still alive, but I hope you will be safe and happy, and have a worry-free life. You suffer so much because of hatred... Brother, why don't you feel sad?"

Hearing the man's voice choked with sobs, Xing Cheng didn't dare to look up at him again, closed his eyes and shook his head, Piao Miao replied: "I know, it's only a hundred years, and everything will return to dust, but my demon is incurable, if I let myself go, Even if I live a long life, but I suffer day and night... I am not an open-minded person."

"In that case", the man wandered to Xing Cheng's side and touched his right arm, "I can't stop you, it's just that your right hand is injured, you still need to cherish yourself..."

"Brother won't stop me?" Xing Cheng asked in a low voice.

"Back then, there were several Xingzhu princes, but Su Shengyi supported a Hesheng, and many generals were on standby, but the master chose a Yijing. Everyone has his own decision to stick to, and it is not something that others can persuade to act on his behalf... No matter how many roads ahead Lonely, only you can go forward against the wind. You are not at fault, how can you make a decision for you with your own mind?"

Xing Cheng stared at him blankly, before nodding for a long time.

"My lifespan is only a short time to Senior Brother... Now that I am far away, I only hope that Senior Brother can cultivate with peace of mind, open-minded and open-minded... Don't worry about this Junior Brother anymore."

The man slowly lowered his arms and turned to Xing Cheng's ribs.

"Nangong often visits, don't worry... you... leave quickly..."

The moment the four eyes met, Xing Cheng was in a trance and saw his brother's teary eyes, his vision was blurred, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. He only thought it was a sharp pain in his ribs, and he returned to the darkness.

"Ah..." Xing Cheng woke up from the pain, and suddenly sat up on the bed, which shocked Lan Mo and others on the side, and quickly supported him to prevent the wound from being dragged during the exercise. He was about to speak to comfort him, but Seeing that Xingcheng was slumped and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, Lan Mo intuitively told him that this was not caused by Xingcheng's serious injury, but he confused himself that it was just wild thinking, and said happily: "You finally woke up, but the wound hurts?" Said He prepared gauze and wound medicine for him in an orderly manner.

"Battalion Commander? Where is this? What time is it?"

"This is where our army's camp is located around the Lost City. You have been in a coma for ten days, but the plague is urgent, and few doctors come to visit. Fortunately, the wound has never festered in the cold winter, and the dressing must not be lax. It still needs to go on.”

Xing Cheng nodded, and thanked his battalion commander hoarsely.

Lan Mo changed the wound medicine for him, got up and poured hot water for him, but the battalion commander was busy with work, so he had to ask Liu Yedong, who was accompanying him, to take care of him.

In the howling cold wind, when the snow was heavy, Lan Moyu couldn't help turning his head back at the door again, and finally left in a hurry.

No one knows why the eldest son of the military marquis cried in that cold winter.

Xu Yehong is gone, Liu Yedong is here, the days of Xingsheng.

This case is currently very confusing, and the commander is also very confused, but of course the commander can't be confused for too long.

Guliang Yiqing is gone~~~ The old driver has other tasks~~~ Friendly reminder: Lost City is Yijing's hometown, he is very familiar with it.
