Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The arrival of the doctor under Ning's family made Zhu Jiajun finally heave a sigh of relief.

The severe poison this time did too much damage to the Zhu family's army. Nearly a thousand people died of the poison, tens of thousands were damaged by the poison and were unable to fight, and there were five to six hundred people whose poison was mild. Going to the battlefield again, but it will take time to clean up the poison and cultivate the body.

The vitality of Zhu's army was slandered, and they were eager to replenish their troops. However, the garrison in Xianbei Mansion was not available much, and Zhu Chengyuan could not transfer these available people to the front line. The counties must reserve enough manpower to deal with the Xiongnu's surprise attack, so as not to be attacked by the enemy.Fortunately, the Xiongnu soldiers also lost a lot. Zhu Chengyuan, adhering to the principle of preferring shortages to excess, racked his brains with the generals of the ancient Anhe army to think about how to use the remaining troops to fight the Xiongnu.

The battle was still going on, and the Hun army was coming fiercely. The Zhu family army on the front line clearly felt that since the return of the Hun King, these people seemed to be bewitched, and they were fighting more desperately than ever before.

Zhu Dingbei also did not dare to relax at all times, counting the time and waiting for the development of the situation on the Qiang side.

Before that, Ning Heng informed Zhu Dingbei of some abnormalities after Gilling's return.

The eyes of the two fell on a certain mountain range in the territory of the Xiongnu and a barren mountain not far from Liangzhou's border with the Xiongnu.

Without exception, gold mines have been opened on these two peaks.

Zhu Dingbei's face was solemn: "Could it be...the Li family handed over that treasure map to the Xiongnu? Is this the sincerity of their cooperation?"

Ning Heng's guess was consistent with his.

If that's the case, then things are tricky.Both of them are insiders of the true appearance of Taizu's treasure, if other people knew the actions of the Xiongnu at this time, they would not have such guesses.But the Li family who holds the treasure in their hands has absolutely no need to do this. They also have unfathomable members of the Li Party, who are the proper holders of the treasure scroll.

But apart from this, there seems to be no second explanation.

"Judging from the missing part of our treasure map, the three northwest states are missing. Perhaps some of the 600-year-old Xianbei borders bordering Liangzhou and Yongzhou were also included by coincidence, and the number must not be many. "

Ning Heng's tone was heavy.

Liangzhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou are the three states in the northwest of Dajing.If the Huns had this treasure map in their hands, their purpose must be to attack these three states, not Xianbei Mansion!

Moreover, Yongzhou is adjacent to Sizhou, so if the enemy attacks it, they will definitely point their swords at Luojing. The Dajing Dynasty is in danger, and there is no protection from nature.

Zhu Dingbei: "I don't know if the Xiongnu have the courage to hand over the treasure map to the Qiang people."

As he spoke, his knuckles turned white.The solution to this matter flashed through my mind quickly. The only thing I can do now is to inform Liangzhou to prepare for a hard battle, so that Xianbei Prefecture and Ningzhou can do homework for the Xiongnu and Qiang respectively, so that they will be at a loss. , Do everything possible to prevent further cooperation between Xiongnu and Qiang.

Hastily wrote the letter paper, stamped it with the seal of the Zhu family, and sent it to Zhan Ying as quickly as possible, and at the same time ordered three elite soldiers to go to the border of the three parties to have a detailed discussion with the leaders of the Zhu family of the three parties.

After arranging all this, Zhu Dingbei was still uneasy.

Ning Heng said: "This matter is no small matter. What we can bet on now is the patience of the Huns royal family. If they are ambitious enough, can withstand the temptation and wait for the opportunity, we will have a chance to fight back." As he said, he stretched slightly Looking at Zhu Dingbei's cheek, he comforted him: "Relax, things haven't reached the worst stage yet. There are still many things we can do."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyelids, and smiled at Ning Heng from his contemplation, "It's never my job to sit and wait for death. Besides, they can't fight this battle even if they want to, and the Xiongnu are not willing to fight in a short time." This piece of meat is passed to the mouth of the Qiang people, we have plenty of time to spend with him."

What he couldn't figure out was, since the Xiongnu had obtained this treasure, why did they prompt the Xianbei Mansion to set up an army.

This is not beneficial to their plan, but it is a huge obstacle - even if they did not guess that they cultivated these people to send troops and take the initiative to attack the ambition of the Xiongnu and Qiang people.

He shared his doubts with Ning Heng, who also couldn't figure out the real purpose of the Xiongnu. They would not think that the Huns were naive enough to think that they could instigate these new troops to turn against each other like they used the previous Xianbei garrison.They must have something to rely on, or perhaps, when the ancestors of the Huns left the Xianbei tribe, they planted their hands in Xianbei, which is why they have nothing to fear.

And what these hidden dangers are, they have no way of guessing.

Zhu Dingbei said with a headache: "No matter what, the establishment of the Xianbei army must be done quickly."

His eyes showed firmness. If the matter is confirmed to this point, then the Zhu family must not hide their secrets in the training of the new army.With some reservations from him before, the selfish desire of Zhu's army to train the whole army to maintain the highest combat power in Dajing with the ghost strategy of marching can no longer be realized.

Ning Heng patted his head, Zhu Dingbei was full of thoughts and didn't stop him.The two thought deeply and exchanged a few words occasionally. When it was late, Ning Heng urged Zhu Dingbei to go back to the backyard and go to sleep.

Zhu Dingbei smiled and said: "You have stayed in my house so frequently these past few days, it seems that Lord Changxin's wings are really hardened, and you can do whatever you want?"

I think when they were young, they worried about what the royal family would do because of their close relationship even if they said a few words.Now, no one in Luojing knows that this generation of Lord Changxin has close contacts with the Manor of Zhenbei, and Ning Heng has unreservedly used his actions to tell the emperor and all officials that he is the backer of Lord Zhu Xiaohou—that is, It was rumored that the Zhu family was so weak that he couldn't mount a horse to fight, so far no one dared to find out the reason for his unhappiness.

After all, in Luojing, there are many aristocratic families who don't take the reckless people in Zhenbeihou's mansion seriously.

Ning Heng laughed in response, "Your Majesty has had a lot of trivial matters in recent years, and this Marquis is so dedicated to solving his problems, even if he wants to, he has to think twice."

This statement is not without rampant.

Zhu Dingbei laughed loudly, he liked to see the emperor's displeasure and how he could do nothing about them.

At this time, in the palace, the emperor had a few rounds of talks with the steward of the Chen family, completely forgetting the time.Eunuch Dongsheng was anxious, but he didn't dare to interrupt the confrontation between the two on the chess game.

Guan Gong, the national player who was once famous all over the world, has become more and more powerful in chess, but the emperor is still able to handle it with ease.

The old steward sighed in his heart, thinking back then, this one inherited all his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from the old man, only in chess, his talent was always inferior to Liang Zixi's, and he was defeated by the opponent every time he fought.From the looks of it now, the Seventh Prince back then, His Majesty the Emperor, was just trying to make him happy.

After so many years, even he had to be cautious when dealing with the chess game.

By the time this game was over, the sky had reached the darkest moment of the day.The eunuch Dongsheng dared to remind Shichen aloud, and the old housekeeper took advantage of the opportunity to leave. Emperor Zhenyuan looked at himself winning the chessboard for a long time, thoughtfully.

Facing the old friend from the past, he realized how ridiculous his idea of ​​trying to get back the past from the other party was.

Near nostalgia timid.

The closer he was to the other party, the less he dared to easily bring up the past and touch the memories of that year.

It seems that the beauty in those memories is so fragile that it will be broken at the touch of a touch, revealing the ugly face of his insincerity, and awakening the unrecognizable truth that he has never dared to face.

But he still refused to let go, he didn't want to let the person who had witnessed the youthful frivolity and cared about his only obsession go away.The heights are extremely cold, and he once vowed that he can bear such loneliness, but now he is no longer just remembering the warmth of his youth.He admitted to himself that he longed to go back to the past, take a look at the old stories of the old people again, and restore those people he didn't want to hurt and wanted to protect with all his might.

...he is really old.

Eunuch Dongsheng retreated outside the hall, secretly wiping away tears.

Ever since it was confirmed that Third Young Master Liang would never be able to come back from life, His Majesty's condition has become worse day by day.He understands the fetters in His Majesty's heart, as long as that person is still alive, even if he is full of resentment, His Majesty will feel happy and still hold the hope of being reunited.

But now, even the extravagant hope has been shattered.

He was really worried that if he continued to worry like this, His Majesty's body would be worn down.

But there was nothing he could do. He begged the old housekeeper to give His Majesty some comfort, and expressed his feelings in front of him, trying to excuse His Majesty back then.But the old housekeeper just looked at him coldly and was not moved at all.

At that time, he knew in his heart that apart from himself and the hidden guards who had witnessed His Majesty's mad pain back then, it was impossible for these old people who had been victimized in the past to forgive His Majesty, let alone have a heart of compassion.

The eunuch Dongsheng sighed silently, it would be great if the third young master Liang had never fled or fallen to a certain end of the world.

Thinking like this, there was a faint sound coming from the sleeping hall.

The eunuch Dongsheng hurriedly collected his mind, listened carefully and knew that it was the hidden guard who was reporting to His Majesty, so he relaxed and stood quietly outside the hall to wait.

In the bedroom, Emperor Zhenyuan sat surrounded by quilts, listening to the report from Anshou: "Your Majesty, Hongrui, the maid in charge of the imperial concubine, and Chunxia, ​​the first-class maid, have been verified to be hidden piles. Hongrui is not in charge of the palace. Waiting for the question has committed suicide, and searched her dormitory, but found nothing. In addition, Chunxia has been interrogated, and she is indeed a hidden stake of the enemy. According to her confession, she does not know where she stands, but she identified an enemy den. "
