Bright moon out of Tianshan

Xiao Jian stared at him with wide eyes, his face was terrified, his eyes suddenly became loose, Gao Huai felt something was wrong, and thought: "Could it scare him into a faint? Isn't it just a marriage, this is too timid. Quickly and carefully put him on the floor, patted him on the back and called out: "Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian." Xiao Jian lay on the floor, his shoulders twitched slightly, and after a while he suppressed a smile and said, "I'm fine. Going out to get married is your duty as a prince, just like a princess making a marriage, knowing that the two countries will turn against each other in the end, but you have no choice but to turn back. Besides, he is just a quail clothes, that is a purely natural taste!"

Gao Huai regretted that he was scaring himself, snorted coldly, and said, "Who said I must do my duty? Don't you often ask for a wife? Since this is purely natural, you should keep it for yourself. Look." He suddenly flashed his eyes and said, "Maybe you don't need it now, your Cuixiu Academy is going to become your harem, right?"

Xiao Jian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Third Highness, you can't talk nonsense! This subordinate is not the emperor, where did he come from the harem? It is said that I will be beheaded!" Gao Huai looked at his head sideways. , said: "Your head... this head seems to be useful, so let's keep it for now. I'll ask General Yang for advice. If he thinks it's okay to go to the Rong people, as long as your injury doesn't hinder me, I'll take it with you. you go."

The Rong people in the upper reaches of the Yishui River are known as the "Rongs of Yichuan", and they have occupied this place for hundreds of years.The leader's name was Jiang Hu, and he did have a daughter, a very beautiful daughter, but he also had a son-in-law and a grandson.The woman hugged her young son and watched Gao Huai and Xiao Jian quietly under a tree. Gao Huai turned a blind eye to him, but Xiao Jian smiled back with his big eyes twinkling. The woman immediately blushed and hid in the tree. To go after.

Neither of them was in the turn to marry Jiang Hu's daughter, and the large amount of food and cloth they brought was taken away bluntly, and they happily agreed to go out to the mountain to allocate arable land for them, and then Gao Huai asked to find a secret room for a detailed discussion , Jiang Hu nodded happily, and the three of them entered the secret room, and Gao Huai explained his purpose.Jiang Huwen heard that His Royal Highness King Wuyang was going to take down Luoyang, and wanted to inquire about the route, so he simply said: "The roads in the mountains are like my palm prints, with clear veins one by one, go and get Wang Ying's head for me." Come as a token, to express your sincerity, and I will lead you the way myself! My two sons were killed by him, and I must take his life."

Xiao Jian said: "We have obtained military information, and Wang Ying has been assassinated by someone sent by Zhao Guo. So your vengeance has been avenged, Your Excellency." He added another sentence in his heart: "Your sons can also smile at Jiuquan. Already!"

But Jiang Hu insisted: "I want the dead man's head too, and I want to use it as a memorial to my son!"

Gao Huai nodded and said: "Your Excellency, wait, I will definitely bring it for you."

The two left the Rong people's stronghold with their own soldiers. After walking for a while, Gao Huai stopped and said, "In fact, there is no need to go back to the barracks."

Xiao Jian said in a low voice: "Send them back, let my subordinate follow you straight to Luoyang, so as to protect your Highness." He also had a small plan in mind, if the two returned to the barracks, Yang Baozhen would definitely not agree with Gao Huai If he took the risk to take Wang Ying's head, if he took the initiative to ask for his life, he would send someone else to do this sneaky business with him.But for this job, it is still safe to follow a person with high martial arts skills, so he hit it off with Gao Huai and worked together.

Gao Huai drove back the soldiers and others, and sneaked towards Luoyang City with Xiao Jian.

The two of them carefully avoided the small group of soldiers sent by the enemy along the way, and walked to Longmen Mountain, more than [-] miles south of Luoyang City.The double peaks of Longmen and Xiangshan Mountain stand in front of each other, forming a natural gateway, Yique, through which Yishui flows.Although the mountain is not high, it is very steep.

Gao Huai waited and watched for a while, and saw that Yique was heavily guarded and pedestrians were prohibited from coming and going, so he first found a hiding place, put the horse beside him to graze, and the two sat down to rest for a while.

Gao Huai said: "Let's sneak through the pass at night. I really want to go to Luoyang City to see what's going on."

Xiao Jian turned his head and asked, "Third Highness, General Wang Ying can be considered to have sacrificed his life for the country. If we just cut off his head and gave it to Jiang Hu, it seems that... it cannot be justified due to emotion and reason."

Gao Huai said: "People are dead, what's the use of having heads? To die for the country, of course, includes heads. I'm afraid he's still alive now." Time, you are so cruel."

Seeing the setting sun in the sky, he went and immediately took the water bag and his own dry food to eat, but it was still a thick noodle cake that could not be chewed.Gao Huai sat there with his jaw propped up in a daze.Xiao Jian wanted to hand over his bread, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Your Highness, aren't you hungry?"

Gao Huai came back to his senses and said, "Don't call me that when you come out, it will definitely make people suspicious if they hear it."

Xiao Jian immediately said kindly and honestly: "Okay, third brother, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

Gao Huai shuddered at him, and said after a while: "I'll bring some snacks right away, you go and get them." Xiao Jian went and got them according to his advice, and it turned out to be goose oil walnut cakes and crab shells from the time-honored Snow Garden in Jinling. The small sesame seed cakes with yellow sandwich were neatly packed in a food box, very fresh, and it seems that they were brought by the people who passed the newspapers back and forth.His saliva almost flowed out, he endured it desperately, and sent it to Gao Huai respectfully.

Gao Huai raised his eyes to look at him, and saw his salivation at a glance, and said: "Give me your cake, and you can eat the dessert."

Xiao Jian stammered and said: "Then... that's so bad, you can't eat this cake."

Gao Huai said, "It's okay, I've eaten something worse than this."

Xiao Jian also said with a cheeky smile: "You said it yourself, then I...don't be too polite!" He quickly handed him his bread, and unceremoniously enjoyed the dessert for a while. clean.

Gao Huai took two bites of the noodle cake, looked at Xiao Jian with a satisfied expression on his face, and said, "You've never eaten such an unpalatable noodle cake before, have you?"

Xiao Jian stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead and said, "I haven't eaten it before. But since I joined the army, of course I don't dare to pick and choose, as long as I don't go hungry. In fact, this bread is chewy...it's quite delicious, yes. Third Highness, right?" Gao Huai said: "Yes, I will reward you with two large chariots for your meritorious service in battle later on, and you can chew slowly." Xiao Jian paused, and said after a while: "Everyone rewards gold and silver. Reward the beauties, you reward me with two carts of cakes that can't be eaten."

The sky was completely dark, and the nearby people escaped from the chaos of war, and they had already left without a trace of fire.Taking advantage of the desolation of the night, the two reached the gate of the dragon and passed by the mountain. Many soldiers guarding the mountain couldn't match the speed of the two, who looked like ghosts.Crossing the mountain and going to Luoyang City for more than [-] miles, the barracks of Zhao State were endless. For convenience, Xiao Jian went to put down two soldiers of Zhao State and came over, changed into their clothes, and arrived all the way unimpeded. In the city of Luoyang.

There are no pedestrians in Luoyang City, only soldiers patrolling back and forth pass by in groups.It seems that the city was occupied by the enemy, and the people were terrified, and they would never go out at night unless it was absolutely necessary.The former General's Mansion, located in the center of the city, has been occupied by Zhao Guo, surrounded by heavily guarded troops.Gao Huai and Xiao Jian climbed over the wall and got into the rockery in the back garden. They saw the general's mansion was brightly lit in the night, and there was a lot of people's voices. A prosperous and prosperous atmosphere.

Xiao Jian said in a low voice, "Why is it so lively here?"

Gao Huai said: "I think some people like to be lively. Xiao Jian, you go and drag two servants over, and let's change clothes."

Xiao Jian said: "Okay!" Taking advantage of the cover of flowers and trees, he walked forward slowly, when he saw two male servants carrying food boxes approaching, he rushed over like a falcon, and was about to order each hand one by one. The acupoints pulled over, the two people heard the wind behind them, suddenly threw the food box and turned around, the two shot at the same time, bringing a strong wind to grab Xiao Jian's shoulder.

Xiao Jian was taken aback, he reacted very quickly, flew back, then drew his saber out of its sheath, the saber slanted across like a cloud, the two of them each nodded their heads to dodge, seeing that their martial arts skills were not weak, and at the same time drew out two Take the short sword and attack it.Xiao Jian greeted each other with a horizontal sword, and the three of them performed more than ten moves in silence. These two people are very skilled in martial arts, and they did not even question him, a soldier who sneaked in and made a sudden attack.A few other servants from afar came this way in the panic, and when they heard the voices of people, the three of them unexpectedly fought desperately while hiding in the hiding place.

Xiao Jian became suspicious, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Why did you sneak into the general's residence?"

The expressions of the two could not be seen in the darkness, but Xiao Jian could clearly feel that they were shocked, and then shouted in a low voice: "Be honest! Otherwise, I will call someone!" The two were silent, but the attack was violent He became vicious like rain, and seemed to want to deal with Xiao Jian right away. Although Xiao Jian handled it well, he couldn't capture the two of them easily. He heard someone's voice gradually approaching.He was so inattentive, the daggers of the two of them took advantage of the gap to enter, Xiao Jian quickly dodged, and one of them brushed his cheek with the sword wind, almost losing his face.The other person's sword went straight to his ribs, and he couldn't dodge it, so he simply slashed out, forcing him to return his sword to save himself.But the man didn't dodge, stabbing towards him with the long sword, Xiao Jian said in his heart: "It's broken, I met someone who will die!" Next, the sword in his hand was thrown far away.Then Gao Huai flew out from the flowers around him without a sound, and in an instant he was in front of another enemy, and his attack was like the wind. The man's attention was all on Xiao Jian, and he was caught without even a chance to fight back. Several large holes were instantly sealed.

Xiao Jian saw that the man who fell was struggling to get up, so he didn't have time to think, he threw himself on him and pressed him firmly, put the knife on his neck, and shouted: "Don't move!"

The man was furious, lowered his voice and said bitterly: "You attacked me!"

Xiao Jian said: "I didn't!" He knew in his heart that Gao Huai must have used a hidden weapon to help.

Gao Huai stretched out his hand to grab the person whose acupoints he had tapped, and cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Jian, seeing him pressing on the person, but he looked down on his sloppy style of play, and said in a low voice, "Look at you! ? Haven’t tapped his acupuncture points!”
