Royal road

As the sky darkened a little bit, bonfires and torches replaced the stars and the moon, illuminating the entire camp.When the figure walked into the brilliance from the blackness, even Wang Xuan's eyes lit up.After washing up and changing into new clothes, Liang Zixi's remaining exhaustion was also swept away, leaving only a graceful appearance.Not to mention that he is not commensurate with those war horses and sergeants, even he, who is a genuine Taiyuan Wang family, can't compare with the other party's arrogance.

No wonder this son was favored by Wang Maoshen, who had an eye above his head, and was hired as a good son-in-law.If I have a daughter, I want to marry such an outstanding person!

Smiling and coming forward, Wang Xuan said: "I haven't seen you for half a day, but Zixi's demeanor is even worse. I am ashamed to see guests in this crude tent."

Liang Feng chuckled: "If the tent of the fourth brother is still rough, I really dare not camp nearby."

With a laugh, the atmosphere was in place. The two walked into the camp together and took their seats as the guest of honor.

After ordering the maid to serve tea, Wang Xuan sighed: "I don't know if Zixi has tasted a whole lamb? Xianbei is the best at grilling, and a whole lamb is the most delicious. It's in a hurry today, so I have to use it." This vulgar thing is for the guests."

Liang Feng smiled when he heard the words: "In the past two days, I have eaten and slept in the open, but my index finger twitched when I heard the fourth brother talk about the roasted lamb. Besides, the sky is fertile, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, what's so common?"

With such a caring guest, how can we not make the host happy.Wang Xuan laughed and clapped hands, and the maidservants hurriedly brought out silver plates and pottery bowls, and brought them to the case.On the plate, there is a good slice of mutton, without the slightest burnt, the skin is golden and crisp, and the inside is tender and red. It can be seen that it is roasted to the right level.In the three small pottery bowls, put salt, pepper, and sauce, which can be glued and taken by yourself.

For a powerful family with a lot of food, this kind of roast lamb is really not exquisite.But it's not bad to eat such delicious food in the wilderness.There was no accompaniment for the elegant music, but the two of them did not sit dryly at each other, but chatted while eating, not only talking about the scenery of Youzhou, but also mentioned many things in the court.

Sima Ying's proclaiming emperor in Jingzhou was not as miserable as imagined.After all, the sudden death of the Son of Heaven and the abnormal state of the sun being red like blood still moved some people's minds.Moreover, his old minister, the Gongshi Fan, was really incessant, and the chaos in Yizhou was no longer what it looked like, and even Wang Jun had to send troops to suppress it.

"...But although Jisang's Hu cavalry are fierce, they are no match for Xianbei's cavalry." Wang Xuan sneered, "As long as the King of Chengdu is defeated, Yizhou will be stable."

These words, inside and outside, are all intended to meddle in Yizhou.Liang Feng sighed: "It's a pity that Bingzhou still doesn't know when it will be pacified."

Hearing this, Wang Xuan smiled slightly: "Why should Zixi be worried? Although Liu Yuanhai has great ambitions, the Xiongnu's military strength has long been inferior to that of the Han Dynasty, but it is only slightly stronger than the officers and soldiers. If you encounter Xianbei troops, you will be no match for them!"

"Xianbei cavalry is unparalleled in the world. At the beginning, King Dongyan also invited Xianbei fine cavalry to fight against the Xiongnu, but the puppet Han soldiers retreated steadily and fled to Sizhou." Liang Feng replied along the way.

That's true, but it wasn't Wang Jun's Duan Xianbei who helped Sima Teng back then, but Suotou Tuoba Xianbei who lived in Bingzhou.Wang Xuan didn't know this: "It's a pity that the Tuoba tribe is suffering from internal troubles, otherwise the king of Dongyan would not have given up Bingzhou and ran to Yecheng. However, the Huqi in Zixi's hands are not much worse than Xianbei. They also relied on them to defeat the Xiongnu in the first place, right?"

Liang Feng smiled wryly and shook his head: "Shangdang is poor, how can it afford to support such elite soldiers? There are only a hundred of them. Just resettling the refugees will cost my life. It was also because of the Huns' aggressive advance that they were lucky enough to win a battle. Field, but the loss is so great that it is really a headache..."

What he said was sincere, but Wang Xuan's eyebrows were raised.This obviously means that they don't want to fight recklessly with the Huns!Doesn't he want to be the governor of Bingzhou?

"Zixi said that, but he's offended." The smile on Wang Xuan's face faded, "At the beginning, King Dongyan could win by relying on his head. Now Shangdang can resist foreign invasion by itself. With some helpers, wouldn't it be easy to drive away the Huns?"

Liang Feng let out a long sigh: "War can be avoided or should be avoided, why use your wealth and life to fight head-on with others?"

In the tent, the atmosphere cooled down a little.Behind a curtain, Zhang Dian stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen behind.I saw two pottery bowls nestled on the stove, and the thick porridge inside exuded a strange fragrance.He asked in a low voice, "Is the mutton soup ready?"

The cook hurriedly said: "It's ready, do you want to send it up?"

Zhang Dian looked at the two bowls of soup, and pointed to one of the pottery bowls: "Is this for a guest?"

The ceramic bowls used by the guests of honor are different, but it is not difficult to distinguish them.The cook nodded and said, "It's exactly this bowl."

"The color is not beautiful enough, add some chives." Zhang Dian said lightly.

The cook was a little confused, but she had to do it according to the order from above.However, the moment she turned around to pick up the seasoning, Zhang Dian took out the paper bag from her sleeve, quickly poured the powder inside into the bowl, and stirred it with the spoon next to it, and the powder was mixed into the thick soup middle.

The cook took the diced shallots and sprinkled them in pieces, completely covering up the traces of flipping them just now.Only then did Zhang Dian nod: "Send it up quickly, it's urgent in the account."

The cook hurriedly brought up the tray and went outside the tent. Two maidservants took the tray and headed into the tent.

Looking at the two figures, Zhang Dian showed a sneer and sneered, and walked to the original position lightly, listening carefully to the situation in the tent.

Here, Wang Xuan snorted: "If it is possible to avoid it, who wouldn't want to avoid it? But when disaster hits the house, what's the use of avoiding it? Besides, I heard that Zixi has already occupied the county of Leping, and I haven't seen him avoiding it. Not enough."

"Leping is not Taiyuan. Moreover, there must be an explanation for the death of the emperor." Liang Feng no longer shy away from it, and revealed the root cause of the problem.

No matter who becomes the governor of Bingzhou, he must be responsible to the imperial court and seek an explanation for the dead emperor.In this way, war with the Huns is inevitable.

Looking at the weak manner of the man under the lamp, Wang Xuan secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, after all, he was indifferent.These days, if you don't even dare to fight tough battles, what's the use?

His heart skipped a beat, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand: "If it's the imperial court, don't you have time to take care of yourself?"

Liang Feng frowned slightly, feeling bad!

Wang Xuan smiled lightly: "Youping is already in his hands, if he has wings again, what is there to be afraid of?"

He really said it!At this time, how could Liang Feng not know what Wang Jun really thought.It's nothing more than occupying most of the territory in the north and finally threatening Luoyang.And he and Shangdang are just stepping stones for each other, pawns before they annex the state.It was precisely because he didn't want to go all the way with this ambitious guy that Liang Feng refused to accept the olive branch offered by him.

Unexpectedly, this person actually spoke out.How to deal with it?

At this moment, outside the tent, two maids came in with food trays.Wang Xuan seemed to have been distracted, and said with a smile: "But here comes the head soup? Zixi, this is the essence of the sheep. The brain, tongue, lips, and cheeks are combined into a bowl. The taste is endless, and there is a 'unicorn'. Top' said."

A pottery bowl with chopped green onions was placed in front of him. How could Liang Feng refuse at this moment, and picked up the spoon with a smile: "Fortunately, I wasn't full before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to taste the delicious food."

As he spoke, he stirred the soup with a spoon and drank it in his mouth.This is a fresh soup made from sheep's brain. In order to avoid fishy smell, a lot of spices, ginger and garlic have been grown in it. The soup is red and thick, and the taste is fresh and salty.But Liang Feng's mind was not on the soup, but secretly thinking about how to answer.

They have already seen each other, so they must give a gesture.

Maybe it was also time to think about this matter, Wang Xuan did not urge them, and the two just drank the soup.Because it is sheep's head soup, the portion is not very large, and after a little effort, the pottery bowl bottomed out.

Putting down the spoon, Wang Xuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked with a smile, "How does this drink taste?"

Liang Feng shook his head slightly, and pushed away the empty bowl: "The head is delicious, but the taste is too rich. It's just a long-term illness, and I'm afraid that the benefits will be too much."

Wang Xuan's eyes were fixed: "Why, Zixi doesn't want to taste this food anymore?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that...the timing is bad." Liang Feng sighed softly, "Luoyang, Lishi, Daijun... are disturbed by so many people, making it difficult to settle down."

The Chaotang in Luoyang, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom in Lishi, and Xianbei Tuoba in Daijun.Which side will have an impact on the situation in Bingzhou.And under such influence, he couldn't make a quick decision.

These words made Wang Xuan feel much more at ease than before: "Zixi is too thoughtful and thinks too much. But God has already given a sign. Just like the solar eclipse at Zhengdan, like a big funeral The red light of time. The current situation is already like this, if you continue to hesitate, wouldn't you miss a good opportunity?"

He counted the time for the solar eclipse, and Liang Feng didn't care about the red light or something.However, at this moment, a sense of irritability suddenly rose in his chest.He pursed his lips: "Fate is treacherous, especially ordinary people like me, can guess...and...and..."

Liang Feng said two ands in a row, but he didn't say the following words.He suddenly found that the world in his eyes began to distort.It was as if something had rushed into the brain, making people unresponsive and restless.

"Zixi?" Seeing Liang Feng's silence for a long time, Wang Xuan couldn't help but leaned forward and asked.

Shocked, Liang Feng held down the table, forced a smile and said, "I'm full with wine and food today, and I'd like to thank fourth brother."

Is this going to quit?Seeing the other party's pale face, Wang Xuan was a little worried: "Is Zixi tired?"

"Having just recovered from a long illness, my body is really unbearable." Liang Feng couldn't find a better excuse, and said along the way.

"It's okay, let's go back and have a good rest. We'll talk tomorrow." Whether the other party left the meeting with an excuse or was really unwell, there might be no results to discuss today. Wang Xuan is not in a hurry, anyway, there is still plenty of time.

Liang Feng cupped his hands, stood up, tried to steady his pace, and walked out.The flames flickered in front of his eyes, and his ears were buzzing. He could only feel a violent heat flow up his belly, as if he wanted to spit out all the hot blood in his cavity.

"My lord!" A voice suddenly appeared in my ears.

Liang Feng didn't really see the person clearly, he just whispered: "Help me back!"

Yiyan's complexion had completely changed, and he grabbed Liang Feng's arm.That hand was no longer as cool and pleasant as it used to be. On the contrary, it was scalding hot, like a high fever, just like the pale lip color and the sweat drops on the forehead, it was indescribably frightening.

"It's them!" Yi Yan turned his head abruptly, and looked towards the big tent, with murderous intent in his eyes!

"Go back!" Liang Feng did not hesitate, and his steps were even a little faster than when he came!

How dare Yiyan be negligent, he immediately steadied himself, and walked towards his tent.

Just a few tens of feet, it's like walking on a charcoal basin.Liang Feng felt that the rampant hotness in his body did not ease at all, but became more and more insane!But that feeling is not entirely pain, on the contrary, there is a kind of hazy pleasure, as if the mind is being held by other things and drifting towards the heavenly spirit.And every inch of skin on his body began to be sensitive and painful, and even the clothes tightly wrapped around his body became a torture. He wanted to let people grab the collar and expose his breasts!

This extreme feeling was accompanied by sweating like sweating.Liang Feng only felt his teeth start to rattle, and he trembled uncontrollably until his knees gave way and he fell down.

A pair of hands tightly supported his fallen figure, and a hurried voice beat on the eardrums: "My lord!"

Liang Feng opened his eyes wide, and at that moment, his thinking suddenly became clear and clear.He was drugged!I don't know what kind of medicine it is, but it's definitely not good!

Why do you need drugs?Isn't what Wang Xuan wants to cooperate?What's the benefit of doing this? !

However, his head was no longer strong enough to think about it.A piercing pain rushed up, Liang Feng rolled his eyes and passed out.

"My lord!" Yi Yan panicked and hugged the person in his arms.Beads of sweat on the man's body, like rain, dripped on the palm of his hand.However, the body trembled involuntarily, like sifting chaff.

He heard the raving of the lord before he fell into a coma.Drugs?Is it the murderous hands of Wang Xuan? !

However, at this moment, he didn't care about anything else, and shouted to the guards who rushed up: "Get rid of the camp! Go back to Lucheng!"
