After rebirth, I became the villain's Mr.

Although Zhu Shunli was carried back by Xia Kaiyan, his injuries were not serious, most of them were skin traumas. The real fatality was Li Hui who charged into the battle. According to Doctor Zhou later, he was hit five times, and the knife was fatal. Blessed people.

Li Hui was taken care of by Dr. Zhou, everyone felt relieved, and turned their attention to attacking Linggu.

After being fed a large bowl of ginger soup, Zhu Shunli regained consciousness, but his face was pale and he spoke weakly, "Your Highness, I have let you down...cough cough cough, your trust... you can deal with me according to the military law..."

Wei Lingxue lifted her robe and sat on the chair beside the bed, said lightly: "Let's recuperate first, there is always a chance to make up for it."

Tao Jiusi nodded and comforted, "Dong Qi is besieged on all sides, but King Zhao's army is gaining momentum. We underestimated the enemy."

Xia Kaiyan said: "That's true. According to the prisoners of Eastern Qi, the guard of Linggu City is called Chang Dexuan. This man is famous in Eastern Qi, and he is a fierce general. He was originally fighting on the front line of Xihua, but we are pressing every step of the way. , Qi Xiandu probably felt that the danger was at stake, so he transferred Chang Dexuan to sing an opposite show with His Highness."

"Chang Dexuan, Chang Dexuan...I know him." Wei Lingxue recalled, "I used to be a proton in Dongqi, and Chang Dexuan was a student in the palace for a while, but it was not for Qi Xian, but for Qi Xian The eldest brother of Du. This general is a descendant of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. His father and grandfather were both guards. Moreover, at a young age, Chang Dexuan was also familiar with the art of war and proficient in martial arts, so he was strong and proud. The prince is not convinced."

"I've also heard about this person. He is regarded by the people as the mainstay of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and he is also well-known on the border." Wei Wuqing continued, "Especially this time in the battle against Xihua, he is very heroic and has many tricks."

Zhu Shunli coughed twice, and said in a flustered voice, "With such a powerful person coming to guard the Linggu, could it be that Qi Xiandu has already given up the battlefield in the south?"

Xia Kaiyan raised her eyebrows, and said: "It's almost the same, so it can be seen that being impatient and arrogant is really not a good thing."

Tao Jiusi was bowing his head in deep thought. After hearing what everyone said, he suddenly said: "Qi Xiandu is suspicious and arrogant, Chang Dexuan needs to be proud. The two people have similar personalities. Unfortunately, one master and one minister, it may be difficult to get along well. If we can separate them ..."

"If Qi Xiandu suspects Chang Dexuan, and then kills Chang Dexuan by mistake, it will definitely make the people of Dongqi boil with resentment, and it will be difficult to say whether people will support him or not!" Xia Kaiyan continued, and then looked at Tao Jiusi with admiration: "Little Tao, I have decided, I will contribute to your academy!"

Tao Jiusi was overjoyed, and joked: "You pay for the construction of the academy, and I'll be a teacher? Kaiyan, do you want to be my boss?"

Wei Lingxue coughed, and glanced at Xia Kaiyan faintly, Xia Kaiyan's spine shivered, suddenly felt that Cai's idea was dangerous, and immediately changed his words: "Don't dare, dare not, Xiao Tao is not short of money at all, he can rely on himself, on his own! "

Chang Dexuan didn't know that his opponent had prepared a big gift for him at this time, and he was still organizing the troops and giving a speech.

"Yesterday I set up a suspicious formation in the forest outside the city, and I personally led troops to set up defenses on another road, which made King Zhao lose the battle. After this defeat, King Zhao must adjust his strategy and will not send troops for the time being. We set aside a few days to deploy our defenses. Lingu's army is insufficient, and we can only win if we cannot hold out until the army comes to help us."

Chang Dexuan paused, glanced at his subordinates one by one, and said again: "Listen well, here is the military order! If King Zhao comes to attack, no matter how he calls an formation, he can't go out of the city to fight! You and I have been with Chang Dexuan for many years Old man, at this time we must calm down and work together!"

Three generals of different heights, short and fat, agreed at the same time. Chang Dexuan nodded in satisfaction, and said inscrutablely: "I believe that all of you joined the army for the sake of getting ahead. Asking for the land, then after that, you will be promoted step by step, or plummeted. It's just a few days."

After saying that, Chang Dexuan walked out the door with his head held high.

Chang Dexuan had just walked a few steps when he saw Mu Xiaoqi's panicked figure appearing in the courtyard.

Chang Dexuan frowned, and shouted: "Xiaoqi! Why are you so flustered!"

As soon as Mu Xiaoqi stopped, seeing that it was General Chang calling him, he looked around vigilantly before trotting all the way here.

"Mu Xiaoqi! What are you up to?" Every wrinkle in the corner of Chang Dexuan's eyes revealed dissatisfaction.

Chang Dexuan is not very old, but his face is full of wrinkles and looks old. He is usually a little angry, the corners of his eyes, and the deep lines on his forehead will be angry with him.

Mu Xiaoqi patted his thigh, "General, I don't know whether it's good or bad, Xiaoqi is in a hurry to report to you."

"I don't know what is good or bad?" Chang Dexuan squeezed the Sichuan characters and asked in wonder.

Mu Xiaoqi whispered: "Wei Kingdom Zhao Wang sent someone to send a letter just now, and there are several large boxes of treasures, I dared to open the box to look, glass agate, pearls and jade, precious. There are so many good things , but it was sent by the enemy prince, is this good or bad?"

Chang Dexuan said: "Where is the letter?"

Mu Xiaoqi quickly took out the letter from her pocket.

Chang Dexuan took the letter, read it for a while, sneered, and said, "Master Zhao really made a mistake."

Mu Xiaoqi wanted to peek at the letter, but Chang Dexuan was already clenched into a ball, clutching it tightly in his hand.

Mu Xiaoqi asked suspiciously: "General, is King Zhao asking to surrender?"

Chang Dexuan squinted at him, "Mu Xiaoqi, I will kill everyone who knows about this, and if you tell it, I will kill you too, do you hear me?"

Mu Xiaoqi was stunned, and said dumbly, "Kill them all?"

Chang Dexuan nodded, then lifted his legs and walked away.

The next day, King Zhao actually sent several boxes of gold and silver and a letter. Mu Xiaoqi looked at the gleaming gold and silver, and shook his head regretfully, saying, "Baby, my Mu Xiaoqi I can only look at you, touch you, but can't have you, it's really a pity."

Chang Dexuan read the letter, but still sneered several times, and said, "Who does Wei Chengxue think of me!"

Mu Xiaoqi tentatively said: "General, King Zhao hasn't moved in the past two days, but he sends gold and silver treasures to us every day, what is the meaning of this?"

Chang Dexuan glared at him, "Is that what you can ask?"

Mu Xiaoqi shrugged, and said: "It's a little ignorant."

Chang Dexuan said: "Those things must be put away, and they must not be moved at all, do you hear me?"

Mu Xiaoqi scratched his head, "General, isn't keeping these things the same as keeping a handle?"

Chang Dexuan snorted: "I, Chang Dexuan, am dedicated to serving the country. I have been loyal for three generations. How could someone doubt me just because of a few boxes of jewels? I kept those things to rebuild Lingzhou city defense. Forget it, and Even if you tell me, you don’t understand, just do as I tell you.”

Mu Xiaoqi shrugged again, with an expression that I clearly understood, "General, even though that's the case, but the emperor..."

"Do as I say! You little boy still want to teach me how to do things?" Chang Dexuan interrupted him displeased, his eyes widened.

Chang Dexuan didn't listen to persuasion, and Mu Xiaoqi couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the task of city defense is the most important thing now, and there are almost no people in the mansion, so it is convenient for him to act in secret.

Indeed, the highlight of Linggu City in the past few days is the layout of the city defense. The three generals, tall, short and fat, are either on the city wall or on the way to the city wall every day. They are extremely busy.

Speaking of the three tall, short and fat generals, the tall one was called Zhang Gao, the short one was called Wang Ting, and the fat one was called Li Ban.Although they are both Chang Dexuan's deputy, their personalities are completely different.Zhang Gaozhongyi only recognizes Chang Dexuan; Wang Ting is reticent and only recognizes orders; Li Ban is upright and only recognizes military laws.

Wei Lingxue tried to bribe Chang Dexuan by sending money and writing letters. Although Chang Dexuan scoffed, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he killed everyone who knew the inside story.In this way, no one could reveal the inside story, but the news that the general had dealt with the soldiers privately for unknown reasons spread like wildfire.

After Li Ban, who abides by the military law, heard about it, of course he went to Chang Dexuan to discuss the explanation. Who knew that Chang Dexuan only said that he had his own calculations, and asked Li Ban to leave it alone and concentrate on defense.

Li Ban was not very satisfied with this answer, so today he said he was not feeling well, and instead of going to the city to patrol, he waited for Mu Xiaoqi in the mansion.

Mu Xiaoqi is Chang Dexuan's personal soldier, and he is the most favored on weekdays, so he must know something, Li Ban secretly planned.

Sure enough, after lunch, Mu Xiaoqi came to the backyard with a panicked expression, holding a letter in her hand.

Li Ban floated to the ground, snatched the letter, and said seriously: "Mu Xiaoqi, you have been sneaking around these days, do you have some conspiracy?"

Mu Xiaoqi was sweating profusely, looked at the letter that Li Ban had snatched, and said anxiously: "General Li, don't make trouble, return the letter to me quickly, the general is still waiting!"

Li Ban looked at Mu Xiaoqi, then at the letter, and suddenly found that the envelope read "Sincerely, Wei Lingxue"!

Li Ban said sternly, "Why did King Zhao write to the general?"

Mu Xiaoqi stomped his feet, "General Li, you have to trust General Chang, he will never do anything to be sorry to us or Dong Qi."

Li Ban pondered for a while, and said, "I want to read this letter."

Mu Xiaoqi reached out to stop him, "You can't read the general's letter."

Li Ban said coldly: "Isn't it strange that the two armies are facing each other, but the commander communicates privately?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't hesitate any longer, opened the envelope and took out the letter, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock when he saw it, "Is this... General Chang surrendered to the enemy?"

Mu Xiaoqi snorted, and said: "Nonsense, whoever joins the enemy, General Chang will not join the enemy!"

Li Ban lowered his face, and handed the letter to Mu Xiaoqi, "Look for yourself, Wei Lingxue's letter is so affectionate, the two are like friends for many years!"

Mu Xiaoqi took the letter suspiciously, glanced at it briefly, and changed his expression, "This... this... this is probably Wei Lingxue's wishful thinking! I can guarantee that our general has never replied to the letter!"

Li Ban suddenly said: "You promise? You don't follow the general all the time, how can you guarantee it? And this reminds me of one thing. When Wei Lingxue was a proton in Dongqi, he should have known General Chang. Do people..."

"No, no, how many battles and injuries General Chang has fought for Dong Qi, how could he betray Dong Qi!"

Li Ban's expression was gloomy, "General Chang used to be the attendant of His Majesty's eldest brother, and his relationship with the Emperor may not be very good."

Li Ban recognizes the law but does not recognize people, and Chang Dexuan's actions have caused a big question mark in his heart.

Although Mu Xiaoqi turned towards Chang Dexuan, she couldn't help feeling suspicious now.After all, Chang Dexuan killed someone, took money, and secretly hid the letter.

Li Ban glanced at him and said sternly: "Xiao Qi, don't say anything for now, lest you wrong the general and chill everyone's hearts."

Mu Xiaoqi was stunned: "General Li, but didn't you say..."

"Report to His Majesty first. Before that, you and I can observe secretly." Li Ban interrupted.

Li Ban wrote a secret report of what he had seen and heard, and ordered his cronies to go out overnight to deliver the letter to the capital.

Within a few days, this secret report was placed on Qi Xiandu's desk.

Qi Xiandu was devastated all day long, and Lu Douxing had to share a lot of military affairs, but he still had to read the military newspapers related to Tao Jiusi himself, and trace the traces of his sweetheart between the lines.

But every time after reading it, Qi Xiandu would first be furious and reprimanded Lingzhou's defense, and then he would be fascinated by emotion. Tao Jiusi is really unparalleled in the world, no wonder Wei Chengxue is so obsessed with it.

Lu Douxing understands Qi Xiandu's entanglement. He doesn't want his own people to be defeated, and he is afraid that Tao Jiusi will be hurt by the sword without eyes. At the same time, he is deeply jealous of Wei Chengxue. .

Qi Xiandu was extremely domineering, but he couldn't tolerate him talking, so Lu Douxing only sighed in his heart, without blinking his eyes on the surface.

However, today's secret report is different. After reading the scars on his face, Qi Xiandu instantly distorted, and his tone suddenly sank, "Chang Dexuan was originally the lackey of the eldest brother, and I took him under my command regardless of previous suspicions. A dog has no heart."

Lu Douxing did not dare to answer, pretending to be immersed in military affairs and unable to extricate himself.

Qi Xiandu swears a lot of swear words like a cannonball, and then sneered: "Although Chang Dexuan's move is strange, maybe it has ulterior motives? I think it's better to try again, otherwise it will be arbitrarily judged, and the courtiers will be dissatisfied instead. , Dou Xing, what do you think?"

Lu Douxing broke into a few drops of cold sweat, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is right, Dong Qi is now employing people, so we should be more cautious in dealing with military officers."

Qi Xiandu's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Prepare an imperial decree for me, urging Chang Dexuan to dispatch troops as soon as possible, and give him ten days, within ten days he must recover a lost territory!"

Qi Xiandu moved his lips up and down, but the order he issued made Chang Dexuan jump up and scold his mother, "Send troops as soon as possible? Did the Holy One see that I didn't die in Xihua, and is digging a new hole for me?"

As soon as Zhang Gao heard that Chang Dexuan's speech was unrestrained, he hurriedly said: "General, don't be angry. His Majesty is probably in a hurry to get angry, so he came to urge us."

Chang Dexuan said: "If you want soldiers but you don't have soldiers, you want food but you don't have food, how can I attack? It's ridiculous to recover a lost ground in ten days!"

Zhang Gaodao: "Although there is no backup, it is difficult to defeat Zhao Wang in one fell swoop, but a small victory like last time is not difficult. I think the general might as well put on a show and win Zhao Wang once or twice. His Majesty will be relieved when he knows."

Chang Dexuan stiffened his neck, and said airily: "What is there to worry about? Can I still be bought by Wei Lingxue?"

As soon as the voice fell, the room was surprisingly quiet.

Chang Dexuan said angrily: "Why, even you don't believe me?"

Li Ban told Wang Ting about the general's correspondence with Zhao Wang in private, Wang Ting was also a little surprised, and the two of them kept silent.As for Zhang Gao, he was afraid that persuading the general would make him say more outrageous things, so he simply chose to shut up.

Chang Dexuan stared at the three people in front of him, and said displeasedly: "One or two are dumb? I escaped death for Dong Qi, others don't know, how many of you don't know?"

Hearing this, Zhang Gao recalled the days of gold and iron horses, and said with emotion: "General, you have been on the battlefield since you were 20 years old. You have made countless contributions and your reputation is well known in all four countries. No one in Eastern Qi will doubt your loyalty." !"

After hearing this, Chang Dexuan's tense muscles loosened a little, and his tone softened a lot, "I am working desperately on the front line, and I really can't tolerate the emperor still doubting me in the deep palace."

Seeing this, Li Ban took a step forward and said firmly: "General, since you are committed to the country, you should not violate the sacred order."

Chang Dexuan was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "Forget it, I, Chang Dexuan, did not feel sorry for Dong Qi or the emperor. Since he asked for peace of mind, I will give him peace of mind."
