Ji Xingming is a very good general - if there is no Jingyuan for comparison.

The attack by the army of the Western Regions was a sudden attack, which was already difficult to defend against. In addition, Ji Xingming was not at the border at the time, and the garrison lost the opportunity to fight passively, and fell first. When Ji Xingming rushed back to the border, there were actually fewer than 40 soldiers in Daxiao , That's why they lost to the Tubo army.

In fact, if he was at the border at that time, even if there were only 40 Daxiao soldiers to welcome 50 Tubo soldiers, he might not be unable to hold the border, but no one expected such a situation.

A few days ago, both Jingyuan and Xiao Jining noticed that there were many horse bandits on the border, and they became suspicious. Jingyuan also wrote an urgent letter to the border asking the soldiers to take precautions against the horse bandits.

Just as they guessed, almost all the horse bandits were dressed as Tubo soldiers.

They wandered around the border in order to inquire about Da Xiao's recent situation, so after learning that Ji Xingming had left the border, they immediately launched an attack, killing Da Xiao's army by surprise.

As for the fall of a city on the border, it was also because Ji Xingming was hit by a poisoned arrow and fell into a coma, unable to continue commanding the Great Xiao army to fight, so the army had to withdraw from the border temporarily, otherwise ordinary soldiers might be lost there.

After the people in the capital learned that the Great Xiao was defeated, it was not Xiao Jining or the other ministers who reacted the most, but the members of the Ji family.

Ji Xingming is the only son of Old General Ji. The Ji family is a single lineage. This generation has only two children, Ji Xingming and the Fifth Princess Ji Yuehan. "Lonely and widowed", so far have not been married.

So after the Ji family learned that Ji Xingming was poisoned and unconscious, without waiting for Xiao Jining's order, the old general Ji sent a memorial to Xiao Jining to plead guilty, and then begged Xiao Jining to allow him to go into battle and go to the border to retake the lost Guanzhou City .

Old General Ji and Jing Yue are similar in age, they are growing stronger and stronger, and they can still go to battle to kill the enemy. Xiao Jining also believes that he can take back Guanzhou City.

However, it is not enough to take back Guanzhou City, it is far from enough.

Da Xiao's army was more than 40 stationed at the border. Similarly, Xiao Jining did not believe that Tubo had such a 50 army. Apart from Tubo, there were also Turks who had always been eyeing Da Xiao. They needed to be wary.

So Da Xiao not only wanted to take back Guanzhou City, but also defeated the Tubo army, forcing them back to the Western Regions so that they would not dare to commit another crime—and the only person who could do all this was Jing Yuan.

In this case, Jingyuan had to go to the border.

It's just that once Jing Yuan leaves the capital, there will be no one in Beijing who can completely protect Xiao Jining, at least no one Jing Yuan can trust.

But no matter what, after reading the war love letter sent back from the border, Xiao Jining said to Jing Yuan without thinking: "General Jing, you have to go to the border."

At that time, Jing Yuan was standing next to Xiao Jining, but after hearing Xiao Jining's words, he remained silent as if he didn't hear anything, as if he was not in the imperial study.

Xiao Jining didn't raise his head to look at him. He took a Ziyu Langhao pen and dipped it in the ink, and began to write an urgent edict: "You will leave the capital tomorrow, and all the troops stationed in Beijing will follow you to the border. I will lead the Ji army under your command to go with you, and Jiang Yunzhe. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and I don’t feel at ease without him following you... and Ji Xingming is too seriously injured and has been sent back to the capital under the care of the military doctor, but I feel that he It shouldn't be pretending, he..."

Jing Yuan interrupted Xiao Jining: "I know he's not pretending."

The rest of the generals, Jing Yuan, dare not speak out, but Ji Xingming and him have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Jing Yuan still knows what kind of temperament he is, just like the fifth prince who is working hard for the throne, but there is always a bottom line. People like them Wouldn't even touch it - that would be to seduce a foreign enemy.

Ji Xingming must have really been hit by a poisoned arrow to make Guanzhou City fall.

"I went to the border, he and the fifth prince will definitely kill you."

But this doesn't mean that they won't kill Xiao Jining right now. Jing Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Jining's hand holding the pen. He wanted to use force, but he was afraid of hurting Xiao Jining, so he just held it gently. The other hand hanging by his side was tightly clenched into a fist. The veins on the back of the hand were bulging, and even the knuckles were clenched white. His Adam's apple rolled, and he said to Xiao Jining: "Before the soldiers win, they don't Once the news of the victory of the Tubo army reaches the capital from the border, they will immediately kill you."

"Ningning, I can't make it back... please."

Please stop writing edicts.

The edict means that Xiao Jining must go to the border. If he doesn't go, even if Xiao Jining can survive, the relationship between him and Xiao Jining will never be like it is today.

But the border is too far away from the capital, even if Jingyuan spends all his time on the road without eating or drinking, it will take him at least seven days to get back to the capital. Jingyuan thinks he is omnipotent, but in fact, without Xiao Jining, He is indeed omnipotent - he has no weaknesses.

However, Xiao Jining is his only weakness...

For the first time, Jingyuan's tone carried the tone of begging.

Hearing this, Xiao Jining's pupils suddenly tightened, and then his eye sockets began to turn sour. He looked down at the half-written edict in front of him, twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Brother Jingyuan, it's okay. This time, Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother Brother Huang will stay in the capital, and you will also leave behind many hidden guards to protect me, right?"

Jing Yuan said stubbornly: "I don't even believe them."

Xiao Jining raised his head and blinked his eyes to let the mist of tears that blurred his vision dissipate, and he said to Jing Yuan: "Then you should trust me."

"Brother Jingyuan, you trust me." Xiao Jining gently pushed away Jingyuan's hand, allowing himself to continue to write the edict, "I won't let myself have trouble."

Jing Yuan finally let go of his hand.

He stood beside Xiao Jining silently, watching him finish writing the last word of the imperial edict.

"I used to force you to call me 'Brother Jingyuan', but I just wanted to bully you, and I just begged me when I saw you." Jingyuan laughed softly, "Now I don't want to hear you call me 'Jingyuan' at all. Brother', so you won't beg me, and I won't promise you."

Xiao Jining, the little villain, would only call him that when begging him.

Afterwards, Jing Yuan picked up the jade seal and stamped the imperial decree for Xiao Jining: "I once called you a liar, Ning Ning, you can lie to me about anything, but I just hope you don't lie to me this time."

"Even if you lied to me, I have nothing to do with you." Jing Yuan took the edict and left the imperial study room without looking back, "But I will definitely come to you."

Live and die.

It was night, and Jing Yuan returned to the Major General's Mansion from the palace with the imperial edict written by Xiao Jining himself.

Now there is only one general surnamed Jing in Beijing. This "Major General's Mansion" is actually a bit of a misnomer, and it would be fine to remove the word "less", but Jingyuan doesn't live here often, and he doesn't bother to deal with these things, so he will be a minor. The name of the General's Mansion has been used to this day.

Jingyuan doesn't like noise, so when he returned to the mansion in the past, his courtyard was very quiet, and the people in the mansion stayed in their own courtyards and did not dare to run around, but when he came back tonight, the major general's mansion was brightly lit, he His confidantes and generals were all standing in the courtyard, and Jiang Yunzhe was also there. They were all waiting for his order to pack up their bags and leave the capital for the border.

Jing Yuan was a little dazed seeing this scene. Such scenes were common during the seven years he stayed at the border.

He doesn't like the capital, or in other words, he has nothing to like, but he likes the feeling of killing enemies on the battlefield, because then he will have the desire - the desire to win.

He never wanted anything but when he was on the battlefield.

Jiang Yunzhe saw that Jingyuan's expression was not right when he came back, he sighed softly and stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know you want me to stay and protect the emperor, but the emperor will not allow it, it's useless for me to stay .”

At that time, if the Fifth Prince wanted to kill Xiao Jining, he would not need to use poison at all, and Jiang Yunzhe would not know any martial arts, so light kung fu would be better, but would he be able to escape from the palace and the capital with Xiao Jining on his back?also can not.

Jing Yuan didn't speak, he stood indifferently for a moment, then suddenly said: "Li Yihui is still in the dungeon, right?"

Jiang Yunzhe was stunned when he heard Jing Yuan mentioning this person's name, and then said: "Yes."

Hearing the words, Jing Yuan raised his head slowly, looked ahead, his deep eyes were filled with indifference again, and others could no longer see other emotions from them—he had changed back to the cold, cruel and heartless man he was on the battlefield. Jing Yuan.

He said to Jiang Yunzhe: "I want to see Li Yihui tonight, you help me pack my things, and then meet me in the dungeon, we will set off at dawn tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Yunzhe promised him.

But when it was just dawn, it was snowing again in the capital.

The white snow poured down, dyeing the entire capital extremely light in an instant, and it was a blank snow color when looking around, but the black iron helmet on Jing Yuan looked like snowflakes flying all over the sky. Still cold, without a trace of temperature.

The next day, Jing Yuan came out of the dungeon with a solemn expression, followed by two people, one was Jiang Yunzhe and the other was Li Yihui.

"You take the card from my hand and enter the palace, and protect Xiao Jining by his side." Jing Yuan handed back a red token to Li Yi, and said calmly, "You can die, but he can't."

Li Yihui took the cards in his hand and smiled: "He is my friend, why would I call him dead?"

Jing Yuan said: "That's good. After the matter is completed, I will send you back to Liangdu."

"Okay, how about the specifics." Li Yihui said, "Let's talk about it when you come back."

Jing Yuan didn't speak any more, turned around and got on his horse to leave. It was rare that he didn't go to the brothel last night. He was also standing in Jing Yuan's courtyard. Jing Zhen is still there—he didn't dare to talk to Jing Yuan last night, but he also stood in the courtyard all night. .

Seeing that Jing Yuan was about to leave, Jing Zhen finally got anxious and stepped forward and said, "Brother, I also want to enter the palace, to help you protect the little emperor like last time."

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes to look at him, and said, "You don't know martial arts, so you should just stay in the general's mansion."

He had discovered this person last night, but Jing Zhenguang stood silently, and Jing Yuan didn't know what he was up to, and only thought that he came out to see him off.Now when Jing Zhen said that he wanted to enter the palace to protect Xiao Jining, Jing Yuan found it funny to be speechless, but he also had other emotions, so he said to Jing Zhen: "Don't go to the palace to die, if it's really a mutiny, run away, don't run away Do you think they will let you go?"

"I didn't know martial arts last time, didn't I also block the sword for your little emperor? You look down on me? Your brother and I..." Jing Zhen said unwillingly, patting his chest.

Jing Yuan glanced at Jing Zhen when he heard the words, Jing Zhen realized that he had slipped his words, and quickly changed his words: "Don't worry, even if I die, I will die before the little emperor!"

"You are sick." Jing Yuan scolded him.

Jing Zhen said with a playful smile again: "I, Hualiu, have recovered from my illness long ago. As a reward, can you give me more money when you come back?"

Jing Yuan sneered, noncommittal, waved his hand as farewell, and then pulled the rein to leave.

"You must come back." Jing Zhen chased after his horse, chattering endlessly, "There will be no other relatives in our family, and we are the only ones left. Even if we want to die, it shouldn't be so early..."

When he said this sentence, Jing Zhen stopped slowly.

Jing Yuan didn't go any further, but he didn't look back either. Before he finally rode away, he said, "If you're still alive when I come back, I'll ask Jiang Yunzhe to make you an antidote."

Jing Zhen widened his eyes when he heard this, and told him, "Give me the money! I want the money! I don't want the antidote—!"

Yunmeng is one year, the end of the year.

After the news of the fall of Guanzhou City spread to the capital, Emperor Yun Chu issued an urgent edict that night, canonizing Jing Yuan as the General of the Central Town, and General Ji as the Chief Sima, and they led the army to the border together.

On the last day of the twentieth month, Jingyuan led 40 great Xiao cavalry to the border to support the border army, with the intention of retaking Guanzhou City.
