cold moon is king

The sky was slightly green, and the dark brown city gate was tightly closed. It was covered with black gold and mottled with rust. It had not been cleaned for a long time, and the sand and dust stuck to it. The soldiers standing on the city gate were already dizzy with sleepiness.

Finally when it was time to change the guard, another soldier climbed up and saw a row of black dots floating in the thick fog. He pushed the drowsy man beside him hard and shouted, "Someone is coming!"

Wang Wu woke up suddenly from his dream, staring at the black spot in the distance with his eyes dazed, and finally cried out after a long time, "Yes... yes, it's reinforcements!"

The roar of the soldiers broke through the dense fog in the morning, and the soldiers gathered one after another. Those neat black spots became clearer and brighter, and the sky became brighter. The silver armor shone coldly in the early morning light. The armor, the face under the mask is tense, looking up at the soldiers on the wall against the light.

That beam of sight pierced through the thick fog and shot at Wang Wu, his whole body froze, and his voice trembled with excitement, "Yes...it's General Zhenyuan!"

Wang Wu's exclamation made the soldiers wake up like a dream. It turned out that the reinforcements that the commander had concealed for so long turned out to be General Zhenyuan and the others. Wang Wu pushed and pushed the soldiers out of the crowd, and hurried downstairs run.

The heavy city gate was slowly opened, and Chu Jiangli took it out of his arms for a while, the imperial decree was held in his hand, the soldiers in the city gate made way, and a man with a dark face led his own soldiers from inside After coming out, he looked up at Chu Jiangli on the horseback, and said loudly: "General Chu, I've heard about it for a long time and finally saw it again. It really deserves my reputation."

Chu Jiangli turned over and jumped off the horse, and landed firmly. He raised the corners of his lips and showed a polite smile. From the lower half of his face, he could vaguely see the beauty of this person. The soldiers had only heard about it in the past. There are many speculations. When I saw the real person at this time, I was stunned for a while, and the noisy voices stopped abruptly.

"General Lou is indeed as rumored, with a heroic spirit." He thought for a few seconds, "General, this is the emperor's imperial decree."

He cleared his throat and began to read the imperial decree.

He glanced at the astonished crowd present, and couldn't tell what feeling he felt in his heart. He said he was the supervising army, but everyone knew that he was not just the supervising army this time. Everyone didn't know what happened in the court, and they couldn't figure it out. Then I heard Lou Cheng laughing and saying: "At that time, I couldn't go back to Beijing without permission, and I missed General Chu's wedding. This time, we must have a good drink to celebrate."

Chu Jiangli pursed his lips, "Thank you General Lou, it's just that I can't drink enough, so it's okay to drink and celebrate."

Lou Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I've heard that General Chu loves wine, and specially kept the 30-year-old daughter's red wine, don't you really want to try it?"

Chu Jiangli was silent for a while, without changing his face, he said: "The general is so kind, Yue Ming is worse than obeying orders, thank you general for your hospitality."

Apparently, Chu Jiangli's painful experience after being drunk last time failed to leave a deep memory on Chu Jiangli. He hadn't touched a drop of alcohol for several months. At this moment, the 30-year-old daughter Hong completely aroused his alcoholism, and he almost didn't think much about it. agree to come down.

The people in the entire city were sent to other cities, and the city was already empty, so Lou Sheng and his cronies lived in the county magistrate's mansion in the center of the city as a matter of course.

At night, the whole city was plunged into darkness. The soldiers of Chu Jiangli settled down early. A few candles were left in the study of the county magistrate's mansion. The soldiers guarding the door looked at each other in blank dismay. One of them He whispered, "Is the general alright?"

The other calmly waved his hand to calm him down, "It's okay, if it doesn't work, General Chu is still here."

The scene in the room is normal for the time being. Chu Jiangli looked at the strategic map in the center of the room and lowered his voice, "How was the deputy commander captured? How is the situation?"

Lou Cheng frowned and said, "After Lou Ma issued the letter of war, the whole city was on alert, but Lou Ma didn't move for a long time. That day and night, that kid Wu Yu was the deputy commander. Something went wrong, a group of Louma people rushed in, killed all the gatekeepers, captured Wu Yu, and let in the large group of Louma people who were responding outside."

Chu Jiangli was silent for a while when he heard the words, then raised his eyelids and said, "Is it also the city that was lost that day?"

Lou Cheng muffledly responded.

Chu Jiangli rubbed his fingers, "This is a bit strange, why did the gatekeeper make a mistake?"

Lou Cheng's face was ugly and he said: "I can't escape

Blame me for the job rotation in those few days. I missed half an hour in the middle of the shift, but I didn't notice it. "

Chu Jiangli said, "Who arranged this?"

"I received the military law a long time ago." Lou Cheng's face darkened again.

Chu Jiangli also understood what Lou Sheng meant, and sighed, "This matter has caused a big mistake, and you can't save him."

All those involved in this matter received military law. After retreating that day, Lou Sheng led the army at the gate of the city in front of the staff, and slept on his stomach for more than half a month.

Lou Cheng lifted the cover of the wine jar, and the rich aroma of the wine immediately wafted out. The two of them felt a little drunk when they smelled it. Chu Jiangli paused, "Smell, good wine."

Lou Cheng directly took out two porcelain bowls and filled them up, "Try it, I found it from the Gou county official's warehouse, not to mention, he has a lot of good wine in his warehouse."

Chu Jiangli picked up the bowl and took a sip, "When will the deputy commander go to get it back?"

Lou Cheng sneered, "The Louma people asked us to open the city gate and let Wu Yu back, how could I agree!"

He glanced at Chu Jiangli, smacked the still smell of wine in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and lowered his voice knowingly: "Don't think I don't know what their plans are, they know that I can't open the door , I just wanted to sow discord and let Wu Yu know that I would not save him."

"They think too much, my soldiers," Lou Cheng chuckled, "Afraid of everything, except death!"

"And they won't kill Wu Yu for the time being. Wu Yu has a lot of value to them."

Chu Jiangli swallowed another big gulp of wine. He didn't ask Lou Cheng why he believed in Wu Yu so much. It would be shameful for him to say such doubts when there was no evidence. If Wu Yu had a problem, the city would have already Can't keep it.

After Lou Cheng finished drinking a bowl, he directly picked up the jar and poured it into his mouth. His Adam's apple rolled, and he gulped several mouthfuls. The liquid fell down his chin into his clothes. He put down the jar, and the portrait in front of his eyes had already started to shake. , and gradually turned into a Chu Jiangli, he supported the table, shook his head, and hiccupped, as if he finally remembered an unimportant matter, he just mentioned it casually, "Young Lou Yao, are you okay? "

Chu Jiangli's expression is very complicated, it's hard for him to say whether it's good or bad, it's not good to have a relationship with someone like the First Prince, Lou Yao helped the First Prince kill many people, even though those people deserve to die , but it is not a good thing for Lou Sheng to know.

He wiped his face, "Very good, my daughter-in-law is also married."

Lou Cheng stared, confused, "What, I'm married before I get married? Don't even mention bringing it back to see! What, did you have a baby? A boy or a girl?"

Chu Jiangli was silent for a while, "Not yet."

It is a miracle to be born.
