Qi Yue Wuyi

To be honest, the distance to send the letters this time is definitely not too far. One is in Taibai Mountain and the other is in Chang'an, not far from Yanmen Pass. With the ability of Xiaoyao Island, it can be delivered within half a day, but there is no reply after sending it out. Nan Feng thought that Yu Xuzi would rush over immediately, it was not too far from Taibai Mountain.

Half a month after sending the letter, it was time for Yan Bai to leave, but there was still no news from the other party, so Yan Bai could only leave Nan Feng and Tian Yi Qing Yun behind and went to Beijing.On the second day after the south wind left, the Huns' army appeared out of nowhere, and there were more troops than before.

This time, there are remnants of soldiers inside and reinforcements from outside, and Xingheng is leading the reinforcements.

"They must have been waiting for a long time." Nanfeng stood on the city wall, looking at the people they lined up as targets in front of the line. Those people were hidden by Taihua Mountain with great effort, but who knew they found them out .

"There is an internal response." Tianyi said, "I'm afraid it's the group of people you know."

"Damn it." Nan Feng frowned. It is true that Li Chongwen arranged the replacement, but the group of people also had generals serving them. Although it is rare that there may only be one or two, it is enough to get the information, "We must Find that man."

"Don't worry, he's easy to find." Tianyi glanced at him reassuringly, then at Qingyun and Peng Hu, "What do you think?"

"If you can't open the door, even if you can't save the people in the city, it's better to pass the pass and let the Xiongnu army enter." Qing Yun said, and looked at Peng Hu again, only to see him gnashing his teeth and clenching his fists tightly. Li Chongwen was still resting and couldn't go out. It is even more impossible to come to command.

"You can't open the door." Peng Hu seemed to have made up his mind, "Mount Taihua's duty is to guard the Yanmen Pass, and we can't neglect our duties for them."

"This order doesn't count if we say it." Tianyi shook his head and sighed, "None of us can afford the lives of the people in a city, so we should discuss it with General Li."

Li Chongwen is still lying in bed. He is seriously injured, and he must be careful in every move. If the wound is opened, it will be difficult to plug it up. Tai Xueniang carefully feeds him a bowl of soup. Seeing Peng Hu and the others walk in.

"Peng Hu?" Tai Xueniang glanced at Li Chongwen, lowered her head and walked out, and then heard Li Chongwen say: "Xueniang, stay here for a while."

"Yes, General." Tai Xueniang went back to the house without knowing why, Li Chongwen coughed twice, and Peng Hu went over and stuffed another pillow behind his back.

"Is there still no agreement?" Li Chongwen asked, and Peng Hu nodded: "If they don't make a statement at noon today, they will kill people."

"The lives of the people in a city are no joke, and none of us can afford it here." Tian Yi said, "Master Fu Yin understands righteousness, but..." He turned his head and glanced at Yanmenguan Fu Yin who came in.

Guan Xinluo has served as governor of Yanmen Pass for more than ten years, and has always been friendly with Taihua Mountain. Yanmen Pass did not have such a high establishment, but because of the Taihua Mountain garrison, the original imperial army was withdrawn, and it was given to the county. Such a situation came about only after adding officials to balance it.

"Master Guan, please sit down."

"No need, General Li." Guan Xinluo said, "Don't worry about these etiquette now."

"How is the government office?"

"Fortunately, the gate has been repaired, otherwise, I don't know what it will be like." Guan Xinluo smiled bitterly, "All the food in the treasury has been allocated to the army, and all the food that can be collected by the people has also been gathered." Although he said so , but the so-called folks, except for the strong men who were previously transferred back to the city for repairs, there are not many people.

"The food and pay in the army can last for three days, the soldiers are depressed, and..."

"Go ahead."

"The morale of the army is not stable."

"It is inevitable that the army will be unstable. I can't get out of bed. Even if you can stabilize the general, it is difficult to stabilize the entire army." Li Chongwen glanced at Guan Xinluo, "I will not open the door for them."

"I know that in today's situation, both left and right must be blamed by the superiors." Guan Xinluo said, "The imperial court should send someone here, the messengers, the beacon towers, all available methods have been used, but Xuanfu Datong has nothing to do with it." Signs of action."

"How many people would like to use this to take my head. The Huns don't know how to fortify, and they don't know how to defend the city. It's the same if they think about taking back Yanmen Pass after they retreat." Li Chongwen said.

"The Grand General is not that kind of person." Guan Xinluo said, "Reinforcements must be on the way."

"The important thing now is not the reinforcements, but who decides the life and death of the people in a city." Tianyi said, "Yanbai is gone, no one in the city can afford such a crime, we are all self-proclaimed generals, passed on to the capital It's easy for the court to label someone a traitor."

"No, there is one person who can afford it." Nanfeng glanced at Tai Xueniang, and Peng Hu said in surprise: "Xueniang? Hey, don't be afraid to find a scapegoat!"

"In this city, only Xueniang can decide the life and death of the people." Li Chongwen said, "Because besides the general of Mount Taihua, she is also the adopted daughter of the Prince Regent, Princess Qiulan who was appointed by the Prince Regent. She is a real golden branch and jade leaf."

"Really? Xueniang, you never said that!" Peng Hu was speechless in surprise. They only knew that Taixueniang's father was the famous military idol Taiyu, but they never knew that Taixueniang was actually a princess.

"I...but..." Tai Xueniang hesitated for a moment, all the old and young women and children in the city, want to order them to be killed?She took two steps back, and felt for the first time that the title of princess, which she had never valued before, put so much pressure on her, "But I don't want them to die..."

"What silly words are you talking about? If..." Guan Xinluo wanted to say something, but Tianyi grabbed him: "Xue Niang, you are a princess, and those people's life or death is at your fingertips, just be careful." Think about it, what you say is what you say."

"But...but I..."

"Xue Niang, if you agree to open the city gate, then do so." Li Chongwen said.

"But, General..."

"Xue Niang, I believe in you, and you also have to believe in yourself." Li Chongwen coughed twice, "You are the best disciple I have ever taught."

"I……"

"Princess." Tianyi said, "It is not too late, please give the order from the princess."

"I..." Tai Xueniang looked at Li Chongwen hesitantly, then at Peng Hu, Guan Xinluo said anxiously: "Princess, the gate of the city cannot be opened."

"Open the city gate." Tai Xueniang said, "let them in."

Because of Tai Xueniang's words, the city fell into a bitter battle again, and because Princess Qiulan ordered to open the city gate, the Xiongnu dismissed the people wisely and rushed into the city. For a while, the city fell into a bloody storm again, because there was no protection from the city wall. , Taihua Mountain can only fight the Xiongnu in the city.

Unexpectedly, Taihuashan was too familiar with the situation in the city. The Huns thought they could easily kill the main gate and enlarge their army to enter the city. Bo Roupiao threatened them to open the door.

Surprisingly, they were not hindered when they rushed to Li Chongwen's house. There was not even a gatekeeper at the door, as if they were inviting you into the urn.

The general broke into Li Chongwen's room straight through the three doors in one breath: "Li Chongwen, don't play tricks."

"It's really rare, Xingheng, you've learned how to use the empty city after such a long time." Li Chongwen was nowhere to be seen in the room, but there was a Daoist priest standing in the room.

"You... Qingyun?" Xingheng stared at him in disbelief, "How is it possible! Li Chongwen can't move, how could he just move away like this!"

"How many doors did you pass through when you came in?" Qingyun asked with a smile, and he walked to the table next to the bed, where there was a chess board, and he Shi Shiran dropped a piece on it, "Again, Heizi loses!" gone."

"You...how could it be that you arranged the things in the city!"

"Aren't you going to open the city gate? I'll go and talk to them." Qingyun smiled and shook his sleeves, "Don't worry, I'm unarmed. Are you afraid of me like this?"

"You..." Xingheng gritted his teeth and snorted out of the way, letting Qingyun go out. He stared fiercely at Qingyun's back, wishing he could bite him. This Qingyun's talent has never been as good as his own, but he can do it every time he competes. Winning myself, especially in chess, they have fought hundreds of times and I have never won a single game.

"One...two..."

"What are you counting?" Xingheng asked.

"I just asked you, how many doors did you walk through when you came in?" Qingyun said with a smile, "five."

"so what!"

"Your temper is really the same for decades." Qingyun laughed up to the sky, flicked his sleeves chicly and walked through the Huns army to the gate, Xingheng followed behind with gritted teeth, watching him follow, the Huns did not If you dare to move him, you will automatically give way.

There were Huns all around, Qingyun passed by alone, without panic at all, but seemed calm and composed like a general, Xingheng gritted his teeth and drew his sword on his neck: "Say, what can the five doors do?" ?”

"You, you often don't use your brain. Let me ask you how you can have five doors in a yard with three entrances and three exits?"

"I...you!" Xingheng seemed to understand something in an instant, Qingyun looked at his turning blue face, and sneered: "As you said, how could it be possible to move away Li Chongwen who can't stay in bed in one day? The answer is simple, I didn’t move him away at all, in one day, it’s enough to rebuild the back door, repair the fence, put two large tanks and fill it with water, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an atrium.”

Following his face from blue to red, and then pale, Qingyun laughed and walked forward: "You guessed right, you just walked past Li Chongwen's door twice, and you didn't know it. "

"Go!" Xing Heng yelled at the people behind him angrily, and then he heard Qingyun say: "It's fine if you can open the door, Li Chongwen would have died if he moved to the door, you still expect him to open the door?"

"I……"

"It's almost there."

Qingyun came to Taihua Mountain before his official business, cleared his throat: "General Peng Hu, open the door."

"But……"

"If you tell me to drive, you can do so." Qingyun said with a smile, "Show General Xingheng what it looks like outside the door."

The heavy gate opened, and the Xiongnu army slowly drove into the city. As they approached, Xing Heng saw the leader's face clearly: "You are!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a pain in his hand, and the hand holding the sword had fallen to the ground. Tianyi pulled Qingyun to avoid the blood spilled all over the ground, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?" Heng was thrown by Tian Yi to the two soldiers to hold him down. Seeing that the leader was captured, the rest was nothing to be afraid of.

"I'm just reminiscing with Xingheng." Qingyun smiled, patted the folds of his clothes on his shoulders, and glanced at the Huns general, "General Taiyu, the Huns in this city will trouble you."

"Don't be too happy! You left Li Chongwen in our hands!"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. There is a kind of bullock cart in the Central Plains, which moves slowly and steadily. If you ride on it, you don't have to worry about being too bumpy and tearing the wound." Qingyun said with a smile, "Although the cow walks slowly, But it's faster than me, not to mention...it's much closer from there to the east gate than here."

"you!"

"Otherwise there are Huns everywhere, how can we secretly send them out?" Qingyun smiled and shook his head, "Xingheng, that's why you can't beat me."

"Taiyu, don't be too happy too early. You leave your post without permission and put you in the middle of the court. There is also your daughter. When she marries to the Huns, Shanyu must make sure that she can't live or die. !"

"Married to the Xiongnu? You said marriage?" Qingyun couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry about this, there is no woman of the right age in the court to marry the Huns, and Tai Xueniang, the daughter of General Taiyu, has already been ordered by her parents Say, just wait until we get married."

"Why, how is it possible! Who dares to marry her! Is it Yuxuzi? That stinky boy in Taibaiguan? Stop making trouble, how could the court accept such a ridiculous reason!"

"Then you are wrong. Yuxuzi is not a brat. After Yanbai officially ascends the throne in March next year, he will be canonized as the crown prince. When I go to the kingdom, no matter how poor I am, I will never marry the crown prince. The reason to go and get married." Qingyun said.

"It's my future father-in-law, who has to prepare a generous dowry before his daughter gets married. How do I think, I also think the Xiongnu's surrender letter is the most suitable, General Xingheng, what do you think?" Taiyu said in a deep voice .

"You..." Xingheng was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, "You... how could it be possible, when did you make the arrangement, I have been staring at Tianyi, I have been staring at him, how is it possible... Could it be It's a letter written by Yan Bai!"

"Yanbai asked me to write a letter to Yuxuzi, asking him to prepare a dowry to go to Datong Mansion to propose marriage, and the other letter was to go to the regent, asking him to go to propose marriage with Yuxuzi as an elder." Nanfeng said, " The family received the dowry, so they must come and take their daughter back."

"You...impossible, how did you secretly replace my army of the Huns? This is impossible!"

"Well." Qingyun smiled, Tianyi blew a whistle, and the eagle with shiny feathers landed on his arm, Tianyi smoothed its fur.

"Liantian!" Xingheng was surprised. There were two birds in Tianyi. One was a white snowy owl called Feixue, and the other was a black eagle called Liantian. If you like pigeons, you are afraid that others will steal the sky, so you specially paint the pigeons with red marks, but as long as you pay attention to that inconspicuous mark, a thousand or a hundred can imitate it."

"You robbed my letters!"

"One won't fall." Qing Yun stretched out his hand, and Lian Tian obediently jumped onto his hand, "Lian Tian is really capable."

"No, no, how is it possible! I clearly control your every move, how could you have the time to make such arrangements!" Xing Heng said in disbelief, Tian Yi flashed his body, and neatly took an officer Kicked him to the ground, grabbed his penis, and stuck it next to his neck.

"The inner response is actually you!"

"Heaven, hero! I..." It was Chang Xiaoqi who was knocked down, and he said in panic, "This, this is a misunderstanding, young hero Nanfeng, save me!"

"What's going on?" Nanfeng asked in surprise.

"What's going on? He knows best himself." Qingyun said, "Chang Xiaoqi, you are the internal response responsible for spreading rumors in the army."

"No no, how could it be, I was wronged, young hero Nanfeng save me! I was wronged!"

"That's weird, all the generals in the army and General Taiyu are here, why do you ask Nanfeng for help?" Qingyun said with a smile.

"I, that is..."

"I've always wondered why the rumor-mongering forces in the army stay in the recruit camp, why most of the soldiers at the bottom are few of the generals at the top. At first, we all thought that the generals were hard to buy, but then I realized that there is no There is no one who cannot be bribed, even Tianyi, as long as the price is right, he can be bribed, let alone a group of commoner generals?" Qing Yun said, "With your background, you must have a stronger one to manipulate the Huns and provoke wars. Backing support, it really doesn’t make sense that you can’t manage a few generals in this situation.”

He came to Chang Xiaoqi, knelt down and took out an emerald-colored jade tablet from his arms: "You want to make people think that they developed from the bottom up, you want people to think that this is someone trying to develop from the outside. Destroy Taihua Mountain, but you can't get in, when people's attention is focused on the recruit camp, no one will pay attention to you."

"Chang Xueyou, the master of the Blue Bird Hall of Baiyun Palace." Qingyun said with a smile, "You are very successful. General Li and I were the only ones who didn't think of who might be behind the scenes. Your level is neither high nor low. , it is not considered high and powerful, and it will not miss any wind, it is really an exquisite layout."

"Yes, you have a bit of a brain, but you are nothing more than that. It is true that I am the head of the Blue Bird Hall in Baiyun Palace, but what evidence do you have to prove that I ordered all of this?"

"I have nothing to dare to say. Hu Weizhong secretly traced the source of the rumors everywhere in the new barracks. Those few people confessed obediently. Their descriptions of this person are ever-changing. The only thing in common is that he is a member of the army and a woman. She used her body to buy them off." Qingyun smiled, "It's ironic, as long as it is a man, no one can refuse beauty. There are not many female generals in the army, and they are in high positions and can be attractive. Among the beauties who fall for her, there is only Tai Xueniang."

"Then why not Tai Xueniang!" Chang Xiaoqi said angrily, "Why me! I clearly..."

"The fact that a woman insists on pretending to be a man is the most suspicious thing! What's more, the mastermind is a woman!" Tian Yi scolded.

"You are talking nonsense! I am clearly a man! All the generals in the army can testify!" Chang Xiaoqi said, and Peng Hu also said blankly: "Yes, Xiaoqi is obviously a man."

"No, he is neither a man nor a woman." Tai Xueniang said, "but he is both a man and a woman."

"how is this possible!"

"That's the truth." Qing Yun said, "The world is so big, anything is possible."

"You, when did you know that!" Chang Xiaoqi stared at Tai Xueniang, "You crazy girl!"

"Me, it's because Xiaoqi is obviously a man, but she has to suffer from menstruation. Although I don't understand the reason, I am also a woman. You can tell by your expression at that time. I think you probably have your own. Difficulties, so...so..."

"Every time you have a menstrual event, Xue Niang will always order the back kitchen to cook red bean soup for the soldiers. In fact, it is not for the soldiers at all, but for you." Qingyun said, "She wanted to help you hide the truth. That’s why I always make such capricious demands.”

"I can't believe she would be so kind!"

"You believe it, so you stood in the Taihua Mountain Army in the end, you have time to report to Xingheng, let him turn around and leave the city, or remind him to kill Li Chongwen, you know that outside the city The army is Taiyu, but you let him in." Qingyun said, "I know you are the undercover agent, and Xingheng missed a word just now, he said that his people have been watching Tianyi's every move, and Xueniang, Took falconers out of town for a long time."

"The people outside the city, hmph, I found the hidden place even though it was hidden. Compared with your so-called world, what are the people in a city? Even if they are all dead, you will not have any plans to open the city gate. , watching them die one by one, and then watching the city you can't keep destroyed just like that, I know Taiyu is outside, but that doesn't matter at all, Xingheng is just a chess piece, a chess piece that attracts your attention , while you are busy repairing and repairing the city wall, my people have already buried gunpowder under the city wall." Chang Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Sacrifice the people to keep the city, and then avenge them? Don't be stupid, I will destroy the city wall. All razed to the ground, not a few decades can not be repaired, when the time comes, the Huns will come and go, when the time comes, those people who are forced to sacrifice will become meaningless, you are just a bunch of murderers That's all."

"You are so vicious!" Taiyu scolded angrily.

"Hahahaha..." Chang Xiaoqi laughed loudly, "I'm vicious? General Taiyu, who is more vicious? Who ordered the closure of Taiping City and trapped my parents in it to die?"

"Plague is rampant in Taiping City..."

"I'm afraid it's not all, General Taiyu." Chang Xiaoqi said, "The plague is rampant, it's just an excuse for you to report it. At that time, less than half of the people in Taiping City were infected, and there was a shortage of medical treatment in the city. Passing general, you borrowed some medicinal materials, you agreed, but you had no medicinal materials and no food at all, you were just running away, but you sent someone to pretend to deliver the medicine, but you robbed all the medicinal materials and food in the city The city gates are sealed and no one can be released."

"father!"

"You robbed those things, rallied and defeated the pursuers, won the victory, and then returned to Beijing in a glorious manner and received a lot of rewards, but do you know how we live in the city? There are no medicinal materials, no Food, eating the flesh of dead people, eating bark and grass leaves, more and more people starved to death, died of disease, and more people got sick, like hell." Chang Xiaoqi said, "My father, as a county parent, became a The so-called good official for half his life, but he regretted it for a long time. He hanged himself and left a will saying that he would distribute his meat to the hungry people in the city. My mother and my brother also went with him. The tomb robber I rescued took away and dug a tunnel to escape, and I lost everything, my hometown, my family, and even my own name.”

"That's why you deliberately directed all this to avenge General Taiyu?" Tian Yi asked.

"Revenge on him? It doesn't take that much trouble to take revenge on him. What I want to take revenge on is this court, this court that can't even protect its own people! This incompetent court that even officials can't avenge their grievances!" Chang Xiaoqi died. Staring at Taiyu, she suddenly laughed, it was a woman's laughter, it sounded very penetrating.

"You lunatic!"

"No, she's not crazy." Qing Yun said, "Xue Niang, someone told you earlier that General Li asked you to go to the city wall to have a look."

"Ah? Yes, but Chang Xiaoqi said that General Li wouldn't let me go."

"Yes, if you are going, you should be blown to pieces in front of your father." Chang Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have pulled out the fuses of the explosives, and the gunpowder has also splashed water. As long as you spend some time digging them out, as for Xingheng, after I gave up the plan, he doesn't care what happens, he is just a pawn that must die."

"You asked for help from Nanfeng just to use the jade card, so drag him into the water." Qing Yun said, "It's a pity that your Baiyun Palace and his Baiyun Palace are not the same thing."

"What a pity, it was discovered again." Chang Xiaoqi looked at Qingyun, "You said so much, do you want to explain that everything here is planned by you?"

"Yan Bai said before that there is no one in the city who can fight against Xingheng, so he has a headache. In fact, he said this to you. He has already arranged for me to handle all matters here, and Xingheng is just a small shrimp. , it is you who really need to put your mind to deal with it."

"I vaguely guessed that the plans of Tianyi Shaoxia are indeed amateurs. Although it's okay to pretend to be like General Mengmeng, but fool me?" Chang Xiaoqi sighed, "I have no evidence, I can only say, intuition, you That's the most dangerous one."

"A woman's intuition is really scary, so I can ask you, why did you stop all of a sudden?" Qing Yun asked.

"Even if I don't stop those things, it won't work."

"If you insist on doing it, I have nothing to do, at least I will definitely not be able to keep Tai Xueniang, or you will escape."

"If I can, I still want to die as a general of Mount Taihua, or be remembered by her as a general. Besides, no matter how the court loses, the dead camel is bigger than a horse. Even if there is something wrong with the Yanmen Gate, in the end Isn’t it resolved through marriage? Yes, marriage, it’s really nice to say that such a big court can only kneel under a woman’s skirt to survive. It’s really useless, but anyway, that woman is not me, so I don’t care. As for that Qiu Lan Didn't the royal family raise her just for this day?" Chang Xiaoqi laughed at herself, "But who knew that this girl is Tai Xueniang, that dead girl who has no conscience."

"She is Taiyu's daughter."

"I hadn't been to Taihua Mountain when the Tai General came, but I only knew that this girl had a profound background, who knew, it was so profound." Chang Xiaoqi glanced at Tai Yu mockingly, "Compared with you, your daughter is more like a general .”

"Didn't you like her?" Nan Feng asked.

"I like her, there's nothing to hide, but it's not surprising that she doesn't like me, after all, this crazy girl is neither gentle nor virtuous, but she has high eyesight." Chang Xiaoqi glanced at Tai Xueniang, " Hey, crazy girl, you're going to be a queen in the future." He smiled, a string of bright red dripped from the corner of his lips, dripping on the ground like a few plum blossoms, Tianyi hurried forward to feel his neck, but his pulse was gone.

"You knew he was going to kill himself?"

"If he is alive, the imperial court will not trust Taihua Mountain. If he is alive, General Taiyu will be implicated by Taiping County. If he is alive, Chang's family will have a traitor who is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. So he can only die. He can be regarded as a general who died for the country."

"Xueniang..." Taiyu walked over, behind the ruins of an ancient city, there were many wooden stakes on the hillside, some were very new, some were old and black, Tai Xueniang stood in front of a newly erected wooden stake in a daze.

"The rules of Mount Taihua are that weapons should be reserved for the living, and the dead can only set up a wooden stake." Tai Xueniang said, stretching out her hand to caress the wooden stake, "Although he speaks a bit harshly, he is just such a person, glib Yes, he is actually more considerate than anyone else."

"What happened in Taiping County is all father's fault."

"The soldiers of Taihua Mountain will be buried here after cremation. I don't know how many people have been buried here. I think he probably wants to be buried here too, and go down with them to wait for me first." Tai Xueniang looked at Taihua. Yu glanced, "Father, can we stop fighting?"

Taiyu didn't speak, and stretched out his hand to pull his daughter into his arms. Taixue Niang burst into tears. She probably hadn't cried for a long time. The war and military situation forced her to cry but couldn't cry, because there was no time for her to be sad. Sad, Taiyu silently patted her on the back.

In the distance, a man wearing an iron mask was riding a horse, and his white cloak shone as brightly as snow in the rare winter sun.

Behind him, Mei Lanji, who was also wearing a thick cloak, whispered, "Young master, it's time to go."

"En." The man known as the young master responded, turned his horse's head and left.

Repair my Spear
