Reverse Junhou

Chapter 48 Telling the Heart [5]

Wen Xuechao got up from the bath, casually twisted two wet hair ends, and called out, "Lan Lang, bring the clothes in."

In the hazy humidity, a person walked in from outside the screen, holding neatly folded court clothes in his hand, but it was not Wen Lan.He looked through the mist and saw a slender black figure standing in front of the pool.

Wen Xue's heart shuddered, thinking of the assassin who was all in black last night.He swam across the bathing pool and leaned on the edge of the pool to take a closer look, but it was the Fifth Highness with a black cloak and crown.

"The whole courtyard is guarding the courtyard, how did His Highness come in?" He was a little surprised when he saw the expressionless Zhao Fengci.

This person's skin is as white as jade, but a circle of blue appears in front of his eyes. He must have not slept well last night.Zhao Fengci didn't speak, picked up the cotton handkerchief hanging on the railing, and wiped Wen Xuechao's long hair.

Wen Xuechao was flattered, so he could only sit on the stool and allow His Highness the Fifth Prince to serve him.After a while, Zhao Fengci said slowly, "It's good that you have nothing to do."

In the early morning, when he heard that Wen Xuechao was assassinated last night, Zhao Fengci's heart sank, and he rushed towards Wenfu.Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, I heard the news of the battle at Yandang Pass.

Wen Xuechao hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Highness, General Jingyang is injured...but is it true?"

Zhao Fengci's hand paused slightly, Wen Xue looked back, only to see that His Highness Fifth's eyes were a bit dark.

Presumably this news is true.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Fengci, he immediately said: "The Yanqu tribe has been fighting guerrillas with grandfather outside the pass, and has never invaded the border on a large scale. Their tribe is weak, and they are not opponents of the Zhenbei Army. But this time, for some reason, Most of the army was dispatched to directly attack the pass. Most of the Zhenbei Army was stationed at Yubeikou, and it was too late to return to Yandang Pass. My grandfather was stabbed several times by Yu Chishuo before the battle, and he is still unconscious."

After wiping his hair and body, Zhao Fengci unfolded his clothes and put them on for Wen Xuechao one by one.The smoker in the room exuded a sense of warmth, and Wen Xuechao became a little uneasy when he saw His Highness the Fifth Highness looking focused and meticulously arranging the cufflinks for himself.He stepped forward suddenly and hugged Zhao Fengci's back in a hurry.

Zhao Fengci's pupils shrank slightly, and he heard the person in his arms whisper: "Yandang Pass...can you hold it?"

He sighed, and kissed Wen Xuechao's forehead: "I can keep it."

The Yandang pass is broken, Dafu is in danger, and the Zhenbei Army must stick to it and cannot take a step back.

The atmosphere in the early court was very dignified. The prince was patrolling the embankment in the south, but he had not had time to return to Beijing.Emperor Jingyang dragged his sick body up, his face full of anger.

"Mu Xian, read the Zhenbei Army report to everyone."

Mu Shangshu of the Ministry of War took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Yanqu united the three ministries and launched a surprise attack on Yandang Pass on the fifth day of the first winter month. General Zhenbei led the pass defenders to resist. The defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the general was also seriously injured. Military News When they were sent out of Yandang Pass, Yandang Pass had issued a return order to the Zhenbei Garrison.”

"Since the garrison at Yubeikou has returned to aid, there are only tens of thousands of troops in Yanqu, and they will not be able to attack the pass for a while." After reading the military report, Mu Shangshu continued.

Zhao Fengci said coldly: "The ice and snow are severe and the march is slow. The Zhenbei Army will not be able to return within ten and a half months. Yandang Pass is still defending."

When the courtiers heard this, they were horrified and looked at Emperor Jingyang in the palace.

General Jingyang Emperor slapped the case hard, and said sharply: "The national treasury allocates so much military supplies to the Zhenbei Army every year, but Jingyang Lin can't even defend a single pass. What a fool!"

Seeing that Emperor Jingyang was angry, the whole hall fell into silence for a moment.

Wen Xuechao looked up at Zhao Fengci standing solemnly in front of him, and took a step forward: "I think—"

"Father." Zhao Fengci said, "Yanqu's tribe seems to be powerful, but in fact it is strong from the outside and capable in the middle. Yu Chishuo acted radically, and this sudden attack on Yandang Pass at night may have a hint of probing. Wait until the Zhenbei garrison from Yubeikou It is too late to return aid. The imperial court needs to send troops out as soon as possible to drive the Yanqu tribe back to the outside of the pass."

"I think His Highness the Fifth Highness can relieve the worries of Yandang Pass." Wen Xuechao immediately followed Zhao Fengci's words.

Everyone was a little surprised.Lord Wen and His Highness the Fifth Highness have always been at loggerheads, but he took the lead in supporting His Highness Fifth at such a critical juncture. He didn't know whether he was holding on to the righteousness of protecting the country and the people, or he was pushing people into the pit of fire.

Emperor Jingyang's face softened slightly: "Old Wu, tell me how to solve it?"

"Your minister can lead the [-] Yulin Army to rush to the Yandang Pass first, and guard until the Zhenbei Army returns, and then join the two armies to beat the Yanqu tribe back outside the pass."

"Veteran feels that this is inappropriate." An elder of the Privy Council came out, "The Habayashi Army is the personal guard guarding His Majesty and Guangyang Capital. If the Habayashi Guards are sent to the north, the defense of the capital is empty, and I am afraid that it will be in danger at any time. situation."

"My minister thinks that Your Majesty can leave a few battalions of Habayashi guards to patrol the imperial city, and the rest of the battalion will go north with His Highness the Fifth Highness to help." Thousands of soldiers march north, can Yandang Pass be held?"

"Yes." Zhao Feng resigned.

Seeing the dispute in the palace, Emperor Jingyang remained silent for a long time.The ministers did not dare to speculate on the mind of the Holy Majesty, they could only lower their eyes and bow their heads.

When the hall quieted down, Emperor Jingyang asked something irrelevant: "How long will the prince stay in the south?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness heard that there have been changes in Zhenbei, and is planning to return to Beijing in a hurry in the next few days."

"In troubled times, let Miao'er stay in the south, don't let something go wrong in the south." Emperor Jingyang pondered for a long time, and said: "I will allocate [-] Yulin troops to you, and immediately go north to help."

Zhao Fengci raised his voice to listen.

Emperor Jingyang sighed, "Fifth Brother, come up and get the Tiger Talisman."

Zhao Fengci was stunned for a long while before replying: "Yes, father."

He finally understood why Emperor Jingyang had to hesitate for so long.

The Habayashi guards are the imperial guards. If you want to mobilize the Habayashi army, you need the right tiger charm in the emperor's hand.However, except for Yang Shuyue and herself, no one knew that the Zuohu Talisman was no longer in the hands of the emperor.

The emperor handed over the right tiger talisman to himself, and there was no tiger talisman on his body.But now that the northern border is in danger, if he doesn't want to be the king of subjugation, he must hand over the right to dispatch Habayashi Guard.

Just now when Emperor Jingyang asked about the prince's whereabouts, he was probably worried that Wen's family would hold the Left Tiger Talisman, which would harm him after Habayashi Wei left the capital.

However, Emperor Jingyang didn't know that the left and right tiger charms that control the military power in the world are now in the hands of Zhao Fengci alone.

*****

Zhao Fengci took the right tiger talisman from Emperor Jingyang, and after leaving the palace, he rode his horse to the Yulinwei camp, and ordered troops to go north.

Most of the Habayashi Guards come from official families, and they are the most elite troops guarding the imperial city.Hearing that they were going to go to Yandang Pass to help the Zhenbei Army, the officers and soldiers were stern, and the rectification was soon completed.

Those who held the Tiger Talisman came like a saint, and the Habayashi Army stood outside the city gate in full gear, shouting long live to Guangyang surrounded by mountains.After Zhao Fengci had settled the affairs of the army, he rode back to the city alone.

Three hours later, he was going north to Yandang Pass with the Yulin Army, and he didn't know when he would be back.He decided to go back to the palace first, and told the stewards in the mansion to take good care of Feng Hui, and then rushed to Wenfu to see Xuechao for the last time.

As soon as Zhao Fengci entered the gate of the palace, he heard Zhao Fenghui's childish voice from inside the mansion: "I don't want to play with you, you are a bad person."

Wen Xuechao played with Zhao Fenghui's plumage: "Why does Your Highness the Ninth Prince think I'm a bad guy again?"

Zhao Fenghui rode on the wooden horse, turned his back and ignored him: "The mother in the palace said that anyone with the surname Wen is a big villain."

Wen Xuechao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and wanted to continue teasing him, but just as he turned around, he bumped into Zhao Fengci's chest head-on.

Zhao Fengci was covered in snow and dust, as if he had just rushed back from a far away place.Wen Xuechao took a step back, touched the tip of her nose, and smiled dryly at the person in front of her: "I thought you had left Beijing long ago."

"I led the army to go out, and Master Wen didn't come to see me off?" Zhao Fengci raised his eyebrows.

Before Wen Xuechao could reply, Zhao Fengci put a cloak around Wen Xuechao's body: "Go into the room and talk."

Wen Xuechao only blinked.His whole body was tightly wrapped by the Fifth Highness, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The butler hurriedly picked up the Ninth Prince and went to the other courtyard. Zhao Fenghui felt aggrieved and wanted to cry along the way.Fifth Brother finally came back, and when he saw Brother Wen, he didn't want to pay attention to himself anymore.

The ground dragon in the house is burning vigorously, and the smoke is so warm that the people in the room are sweating.There are scattered incense holders all over the floor, and in the mess, two intertwined figures are reflected on the screen.

Wen Xuechao's long hair was hanging down in front of the table, he barely supported the corner of the table with one hand, and bit Zhao Fengci's shoulder hard.

Zhao Fengci turned a deaf ear to the severe pain on his shoulder, his eyes were shining with fire, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him alive.The rivers and seas where the blood flowed into rivers in his brain, and the fighting of swords and swords all turned into the figure of Wen Xuechao at this moment.

No matter how turbulent the world is, there is always a person standing in front of the high hall, leaning on the sky, with thousands of people behind him.

The person on the case finally let out a hoarse cry, and Zhao Fengci's eyes slowly regained clarity.

Wen Xuechao brought him back to the world from the boundless hell.

Zhao Fengci fetched water and wiped Wen Xuechao's sweaty temples.Wen Xuechao closed her eyes and rested for a while, as if thinking of something, she suddenly raised her hand and pulled out a piece of her hair.

Zhao Fengci thought Wen Xuechao was crazy, and grabbed his hand: "What are you doing with your hair?"

Wen Xuechao smiled, tied her hair with a red rope around her neck, and handed it to Zhao Fengci: "The token that His Highness gave me before saved my life at a critical moment. Today, I will cut off the hair and give it back to His Highness." , His Royal Highness Bao went forward indomitably at Yandang Pass."

Zhao Fengci was stunned for a moment, then took the blue hair in his hand, and pulled out one of his own hair.He tied two hairs together and placed them solemnly on his chest.

"When I'm not here, you have to take care of yourself."

Wen Xue smiled, "Okay."

The time to set off was approaching, Zhao Fengci put on a dark black cloak and a hard soft helmet, and turned to look at the person on the couch.Wen Xuechao's clothes were half covered at this time, and the red marks on his neck were looming.He was playing with his hair with his hands, twisting it around his fingertips.Seeing Zhao Fengci looking back at him, his almond eyes slightly raised: "Go to Zhenbei now, I trust Your Highness."

Zhao Fengci remembered that this was what Wen Xuechao said to himself before staying on the island alone.This person always believed in himself as always, and was willing to trust him with his life.Why did he still hide it from Wen Xuechao?

He took out a crystal jade ring from his inner jacket. The two jades were embedded together, forming the character "Fu".

"Left and right Tiger Talismans are all in my hands now."

Seeing the things in Zhao Fengci's hands, Wen Xuechao straightened up suddenly, with a solemn look in his eyes.The tiger charms are merged, and the world is unified.This is an important national order that can mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the world.The crown prince is not in the capital now, if Zhao Fengci is really interested, he can gather the army and horses from all over the world at this moment, and take the ninety-five supreme position as his own.

But he knew very well in his heart that now that his family and country are suffering and the country is in turmoil, His Highness the Fifth Highness will definitely not do this.

Zhao Fengci waited for Wen Xuechao's reaction.Wen Xuechao just stepped forward and smoothed the falcon's tail on the armor for him.

"The favor of the palace gate is not as good as the meritorious service outside the pass, and the minister is waiting for His Royal Highness to return home."
