The first favorite of rebirth

There was silence in front of the Taimiao, Jueyun kicked the corpse away, called two soldiers in a low voice, and ordered them to clean up the corpse.

"Those craftsmen live outside, but after all..." A few sergeants came quickly and whispered: "My lord, do you want to..."

"No need." Jue Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Fu Congjin at all, just let them go. You tell them to have a good rest and repair the Taimiao tomorrow, and the rest can be whatever they want to say."

The soldiers retreated under orders, and Jue Yun took Lin He to the back hall to rest. Lin He took off his blood-stained clothes and sat at the table in only a pair of soft armor. After hitting Jueyun with a punch, he couldn't help holding Jueyun in his arms after a while, and laughed loudly.

Jue Yun followed him with a smile, with tears welling up from the corners of his eyes.Someone was sowing discord between him and Lin He, preventing them from seeing each other. Fortunately, they still believed in each other—even though they both had different families and countries behind them, they still kept their promise.

"Stop laughing now." Although Pei Jiqing was happy, she also understood what was more important now, "Lin He, they are sticking around to prevent you from entering the capital, what happened?"

"Big beauty, you're such a disappointment." Although Lin He said so, his expression suddenly became serious. He took out a letter from the skirt of his clothes, gently lifted the wax seal off the letter, and handed it to Pei Jiqing. "When you went to find me, you were extremely tired and fell into a coma for half a day. That's when the post station received this letter."

Lin He was very careful. Although the letter had been opened, it was still neatly sealed with wax. Pei Jiqing was suspicious of Dou Sheng, and quickly reached out to receive it.

"If you want to attack the northwest border town, he will find a way to get Jueyun to fight, and then he will allow you two fortresses, Liuzhou and Dingzhou..." Pei Jiqing muttered softly as he looked at the words on the letter, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"Liuzhou and Dingzhou, those who stay behind are all my former troops." Jue Yun snatched the letter and flipped it several times, "Who sent this?"

"I don't know, he obviously intends to hide his identity." Lin He put the letter paper on the table, and tapped the paper with his white fingertips, "This letter was sent to the post by a masked man, and then the person in the post delivered it Give it to me, and the words on it are all printed, and the handwriting cannot be distinguished at all."

Pei Jiqing thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This person has deep scheming intentions and intends to remove Jue Yun's soldiers and horses outside the Great Wall, but if it is only for attacking the city, it will not have much impact on Jue Yun at the moment. What does he mean?"

"If I knew what he meant, I would immediately reject it sternly. It is because I don't know anything that I will show it to you." Lin He stretched out his foot, stepping on his own shadow like a child, "I admit, When I made up my mind to cooperate with you, I did sacrifice the land of the Liao Kingdom, but at that time I didn’t even want to be the lord of the country, I just wanted to kill my two brothers, I didn’t care about so many things, but I, Lin He, did what I said , If you send it out of the city, you won’t come back. This person is indeed making a deal with me—exchanging your Da Zhou’s land for me to send troops, but he still has follow-up plans, so he didn’t tell me anything, Jue Yun, You have to be careful."

"Except for the little emperor and Fu Congjin behind him, I really don't know who is scheming..." Jue Yun suddenly said: "He is unknown, how can he communicate with you, and how can he promise you benefits?"

Lin He was speechless, and stretched out his hand to shake a map. In an instant, there was silence in the air, and no one spoke.

In the flickering candlelight, the map was beige and brand new, with thin strokes outlining the outlines of the mountains and rivers in the frontier fortress. It was a topographic map of Liuzhou.

In addition to the topography, it also detailed the distribution of soldiers and horses stationed in the northwest near Liuzhou, who the guards are, the number of people stationed, the storage places for grain and grass, etc., all of which are clear.

Pei Jiqing glanced at Jue Yun. This man had indeed shown great sincerity. With this armament map, Lin He could drive straight in with the Liao soldiers and horses, and take down Liuzhou City directly.

"No matter what the result is, as long as I fight in Liuzhou City, he will send the Dingzhou military plan to the post station, and there will be follow-up arrangements." Lin He said in a deep voice: "He should have planted people outside the Great Wall, but beside me They are all dead warriors raised since childhood, so no one else will know that I secretly came out to find you, Jue Yun, I don’t think this person is Fu Congjin, if he wants to cooperate with me, why would he spend so much effort arranging tonight assassin."

"I think so, but Fu Congjin has deep scheming, we can't take it lightly." Pei Jiqing looked at Lin He solemnly, "By the way, the letter said that he would find a way to call Jueyun to fight, but did he say that he wants you to fight?" Kill Jue Yun?"

Lin He shook his head, "He said, do your best."

"Then do as he said." Jue Yun raised his head, stretched out his hand and quickly flicked the candle, with a smile in his eyes.

Three or four days later, the horse market on the northwestern border was closed, and the news of the Liao Kingdom's attack on Liuzhou soon came. The government and the public were shocked. After a few days, the little emperor really issued an imperial edict, tactfully ordering Jueyun to fight against the enemy .

It was late at night when receiving the edict, Jue Yun smiled and rewarded the delivery eunuch, and put the edict into the cabinet.

Pei Jiqing sat at the table silently, and sighed after a while, holding a book in her hand, but she couldn't see her heart.

"Why are you looking at this broken book? I'm leaving tomorrow. Look at me." Jue Yun pulled Pei Jiqing's book and threw it away, and sat on his lap. Pei Jiqing grinned from the pressure , raised his hand and tapped Jue Yun's forehead, "Get out, you think you're ten years old!"

"Ten years old is a human, 20 years old is not human?" Jue Yun stood up aggrieved, pulled Pei Jiqing into the bed curtain, and stretched out his hand to rub his thighs, "The emperor's seven days of vigil, and now it's half past." It's been a month, and it's time to properly entertain the body and mind, and combine work and rest."

"I'm worried about you." Pei Jiqing was so hot that he teased her, but she still couldn't bear to ask: "Little Yunzi, are you going to really go to the outside of the Great Wall? What if Fu Congjin wants to plot against you?"

"If he wants to plot against me, he doesn't need to find Lin He incognito." Jue Yun lowered his head and bit Pei Jiqing's lips lightly, "This person is definitely not Fu Congjin, I'm going to lure him out of the Great Wall, don't worry, Beyond the Great Wall is my world, if Lin He doesn't turn against me, he won't be able to do anything to me, you should stay in the capital."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Jiqing was already sitting on Jue Yun's lap. The two of them faced each other. Jue Yun's two dog paws slowly pulled the skirt of his clothes. Blushing pink and white, Jue Yun bit the ointment with his teeth, and stretched out his hand little by little.

"Wars are not a joke...how did you hide it from him?" Pei Jiqing gritted her teeth and asked, "He wants you to fight with real swords and guns before he sends Lin He the next plan. How to expose it?"

"Fool!" Jue Yun bit the tip of his nose, reached out and touched the candle again, "Do you still remember? The wax statue of Avalokitesvara arranged by Lin He back then looked like a piece of gold, but it was actually very soft. My people, I have already sent them a letter to exercise with the Liao army on the grassland, everyone's arrows are made of red wax, they are only allowed to pretend to be dead, and they are not allowed to be injured."

Pei Jiqing let out a sharp breath, only to realize that his worry was unnecessary, but he didn't want to admit that he was stupid, so he stared at Jue Yun with righteous words, "I knew it a long time ago, I was just testing you! You are getting more and more courageous now, and you dare to call me a fool! Didn’t you mean that you are afraid of my pain? Okay, if you let me be on top, who needs an organ?”

"Okay." Jue Yun felt aggrieved, raised the ointment with both hands, closed his eyes and pulled off his clothes, "Come on!"

"The dog is so good." Pei Jiqing suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing Jueyun, he took the ointment from Jueyun's hand, "Call me to listen."

Jue Yun looked at him smiling into crescent eyes, and he was sure of winning in his heart, so he said cautiously: "Wang."

Sure enough, this pitiful look hit Pei Jiqing's weakness, he waved his hands dumbfounded, and said helplessly: "Forget it, come on, come on, you serve me."

Jueyun barked again, grabbed the ointment and threw himself on it.

While the ears were rubbing together, Pei Jiqing asked again, "You really don't want me to go with you?"

"In case there is any change in the capital, you can send a letter to me." Jue Yun said hoarsely: "There is still Xiao Wansheng in the capital, and others dare not really touch you. Don't worry, I will definitely catch that person out. This Taiping It’s impossible to pass the new year, at least have a peaceful Ching Ming Festival.”

On the second day, Jueyun mobilized his troops immediately, and the people naturally sent them off along the street, and Fu Congjin acted as if nothing had happened. The little emperor was weak, so he just sent eunuchs to deliver orders, and did not show up again.

Fu Congsi commanded the imperial army, and he also came out of the city in military uniform to see him off. Fu Congjin approached with his sleeves folded, and said in a low voice, "Little prince, why haven't you seen King Shou come out for a walk recently, the flower and bird shops in the capital are quite lonely."

"My father is not feeling well, please take care of the regent." Fu Congsi looked cold.

"The little prince is in charge of the imperial army, and there are many opportunities to deal with every day. Would you like me to visit the emperor's uncle." Fu Congjin smiled slightly, "Or ask a doctor to go over."

"That's not necessary." Fu Congsi was still expressionless, as if he couldn't hold his breath because of his youth.

Standing behind the crowd, Pei Jiqing watched Jueyun leave the city, with doubts in his heart—these two edicts were issued by the little emperor, and the black hand behind the scenes should also control the emperor. Fu Congjin was the only one who might shake the emperor, but Fu Congjin Since Jueyun was going to be killed in Taimiao, why did he have to inform Lin He in advance? Why did he bother to do these contradictory things?

In addition to the death of King Huai, there is one more thing that has always lingered in his mind, that is, the "general" he met in the brothel in the past - he lived in King Huai's mansion for a while, although he saw many monsters and ghosts. As a military adviser, he has never confirmed the name of this person.

Pei Jiqing was also kept in the dark, and really couldn't think of a better way. All he could do now was wait, that is, wait for the next step instructions from Lin He, and then search for clues.

He looked at Jue Yun's back and sighed, and returned to the palace with a sore back.

As soon as Jue Yun left, there was no news for several days, and Pei Jiqing had nothing to do, so he went back to a teahouse he used to frequent.

Directly opposite this teahouse is the Pei Mansion where he lived in his previous life. A seal has been pasted here long ago, but the word "Pei Mansion" in this thin gold body is slender and straight, and it is the imperial pen of the Supreme Emperor, so no one has dared to check it. This is not soft nor hard has been kept.

"Here's a bowl of crabmeat wontons." Pei Jiqing waved, picked up the chopsticks absently and blew, the storyteller was idly leaning against the counter, it was already night in the sky, his throat was still a little itchy, and he was coughing non-stop.

"Drink your saliva." Xiaoer served the wonton for Pei Jiqing, handed the storyteller a cup of tea, and asked while wiping the counter, "Why didn't you tell the story of the virtuous king before?"

Pei Jiqing suddenly regained his energy and listened intently with his feet raised. At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses hurried through the streets, the leader kicked open the door of the teahouse, and shouted sharply: "Under the order of General Li, the capital will be sealed off today. , the curfew will be enforced at Chenshi, I will inform your teahouse."

"What's going on?" Pei Jiqing stood up and asked, "This military lord, the Supreme Emperor has already passed the funeral, why is the capital locked down again?"

"Following the order of King Xian, arrest Prince Regent Fu Congjin." The sergeant gave Pei Jiqing an angry look.

virtuous king.

Pei Jiqing's heart sank suddenly.

At this moment, the outside of the Prince Regent's Mansion was brightly lit, and several layers of imperial guards were tightly surrounded.

Fu Congsi stood in front of the palace gate, with black hair tied on the top of his head with a mutton fat jade hairpin, a quiet and elegant face with a very serious face, and a scroll of bright yellow imperial edict between his white jade-like fingers.

"Fu Congjin is a traitor and a traitor, and sent troops to murder the virtuous king." Fu Congsi turned his head and put his hand on the shoulder of the leader of the imperial army who was following him, "General Li, you used to be my father's former subordinate, and you certainly don't want to see this person do harm again. Block the capital, and I will search the mansion."

"Yes!"

The man knelt down angrily, his eyes were burning with rage, and he was planning to tear Fu Congjin into pieces in his mind.

Zhe Yu bit his lower lip in the darkness, he tied his saber tightly around his side, then jumped onto the beam and disappeared into the night like a black panther.

In the secret room of the palace, Fu Congjin was still arranging chess pieces. The door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open. He didn't look back, but threw a chess piece with his back, and a fleeting panic flashed in his eyes.

The chess piece didn't hit the ground, but it wasn't caught either. Zheyu knelt on the ground with a "plop", clamping the chess piece near his collarbone, blood slowly oozing out.

"Break the rain?"

Fu Congjin went over with a frown, helped Zheyu up from the ground, Zheyu struggled to get up, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, outside..."

"Fu Congsi is outside, isn't it?" Fu Congjin smiled lightly, "He must be wearing filial piety, with righteous words on his face, saying that the king is a traitor."

Zheyu nodded reluctantly, "Yes."

"You are injured, I will bandage your wound first." Fu Congjin took out the golden sore medicine from the carved drawer, and evenly sprinkled it on Zheyu's wound. Zheyu endured it and did not make a sound. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Master, let's hide here, without food or drink, he will find it sooner or later..."

"The imperial army has sealed off the capital, where can we escape? King Shou has a good son!" Fu Congjin smiled slightly, took a brand new shirt and threw it to Zheyu, "Yeluhelin is a foreigner after all. He is willing to travel all the way to help Fu Yunjue. We people from the Central Plains are more scheming than others, don't you think?"

Zhe Yu silently took the shirt, carefully avoiding the wound and put it on, not knowing how to speak again.

"master!"

A young face suddenly appeared outside the secret room, and Zheyue ran in happily like a child, "Master, there is no one there, master is really clever."

"Let's go." Fu Congjin patted Zheyu on the shoulder, "This mansion really can't stay, let's find a safe place, no one will find it."
