Bright moon out of Tianshan

Xiao Jian sneaked out of the town alone, and finally jumped into the lake to take a bath, startling a flock of white egrets.After washing, he put on his clothes and sat on the bank to enjoy the cool air. He saw the bright moon rising into the sky until late at night, but he still didn't want to go back.While he was in a trance, he heard a person walking gently behind him.

Now he is familiar with the sound of footsteps, knowing that Gao Huai is coming, so he pretends not to know.Gao Huai paused for a while, then said: "Xiao Jian, your elder brother said he would come out to find you in person, I think he came from a long way, let him rest, I will come to you for him."

Xiao Jian remained silent, the two were silent for a moment, Gao Huai continued: "You are not young anymore, when I was your age..." But he suddenly stopped talking, remembering that when he was as old as him, Fooling around with Hou Laoqi and the others in the south of Sichuan, and getting the reputation of being a waste, it seems that Xiao Jian is not as good as he is now.But Xiao Jian asked, "How were you then? Why didn't you say anything?"

Gao Huai said: "Not... how about it. Xiao Jian, you are doubtful today because I discussed with your eldest brother about dealing with Beiyan soldiers and horses, right?" He took the initiative to sit not far from Xiao Jian After getting off, he said: "Actually, considering the overall situation, I am right. If I can lure Beiyan's soldiers and horses out, it is also a means to divide their forces. These tens of thousands of people have been cut off. Without ships, I can't break through the defense line of the Yellow River's water army. I can only go deep alone. It can be easily wiped out by Dongqi, but staying here is a big trouble. I must take Luoyang as soon as possible, otherwise the reinforcements from Northern Zhao When we arrive, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army.”

Xiao Jian thought to himself: "What are you talking about in terms of the overall situation? You are so thoughtful that you clearly want them to rob your elder brother's food and grass. You are afraid that your elder brother will rush to send the jade seal of the enemy country to you before you. Jinling, you won't be able to be the crown prince."

He turned around, looked at Gao Huai and said solemnly: "Third Highness, since I have decided to go out with you, no matter what purpose you are trying to achieve, I will support you without hesitation. Who made me have no choice? As a life It is normal for a prince in the royal family to want to be a prince or an emperor, so what is there to hide?"

Gao Huai was silent for a while, and said: "Xiao Jian, I never had such thoughts, but I really can't let my elder brother become the emperor. So you said that I plan to rob him of food and grass, and make trouble with him. I have not been wronged or wronged. My elder brother is very powerful and ambitious in the court. If he becomes the emperor, he will not let you, me, and many others go. So I don't want to let him go. It’s been almost 20 years since our Gao family had the youngest Princess Anya. The father didn’t add a single prince or princess. They were all related to my elder brother. All the pregnant concubines were secretly given by his mother or himself. It's dealt with. Because of my mother's death, my father didn't care much about his heirs, so life and death are up to them. How can you say that there is an emperor with only four children, which is too rare."

Xiao Jian snorted, and said in a low voice: "What's so rare, if it's a broken sleeve, maybe there is none!" He was talking to himself, but Gao Huai heard it clearly, smiled, and said: "Yes, so Duanxiu cannot be the emperor. But this Duanxiu also wants to follow his father's will to unify the world, and he wants to rescue many prisoners of war in Southern Chu and Southern Shu who are still in dire straits, so I also want to Make an effort, right?"

Listening to his soothing and gentle voice, Xiao Jian gradually felt relieved.Gao Huai glanced over, originally looking at his face, but saw that his hair was very wet, and knew that he had sneaked into the water again.So he lowered his face and said, "Xiao Jian, have you sneaked into the water again? Why are you so disobedient?" Just as he was trying to reprimand him, Xiao Jian suddenly interrupted: "Third brother, listen to me, someone Voice!"

Gao Huai paused, and heard a faint human voice coming from the side of the reeds.The patrolling soldiers had just passed by, and they would not come back so soon. If they were spies of the enemy army, they would not have made such a big movement.The two looked at each other and became curious at the same time, Xiao Jian said: "Go and have a look?"

The two of them sneaked up to the past and watched through the gap between the reeds, but they saw two people standing on the shore. They could see clearly under the moonlight. One was the beautiful, noble and elegant Master Lin Zaichun of the Shocking God Hall, and the other was far away. He was about three feet away, with his back facing Lin Zaichun. He was tall and straight, and he was dressed in silver-gray clothes, shining faintly under the moonlight.

Lin Zaichun was full of melancholy and helplessness, and said slowly: "You look for my elder brother, he is in the camp, I have pointed it out to you just now, why don't you go again? Why do you keep following me?"

The man said faintly: "It's true that I'm here to look for him. As your old friend, can't I also take a look at you?"

Lin Zaichun said: "Of course. But Lord Shimen, I really don't need your guards to follow me. Although my martial arts are not high, my self-defense is enough. Let them follow you back."

It turned out that Shi You, the master of Wuchang Sect, followed Xiao Xiong all the way here.He sighed a few times, but it sounded like he was pretending: "Oh, it's all because I'm too lustful and have no vision, so I always robbed your beloved woman over and over again. Now your eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law The fourth sister-in-law up to the thirteenth sister-in-law, but they still remember you firmly. I am sincere, but I can never exchange their thirteen beating hearts. My life is really a failure. What's the use of being rich in the world even if you are in the rivers and lakes? I don't have a confidant to share with me side by side, it's boring! My whole heart, my whole heart! I was ruined by these women."

Hall Master Lin, who was always gentle and honest, couldn't take it anymore, and responded lightly: "A piece of sincerity? A piece of real wolfish ambition, right?"

Hearing this, Shi You slowly turned around and looked at Lin Zaichun. He wore an exquisite sterling silver mask so that people could not see his true face, and then sighed faintly: "Even you don't believe it!" Me? Sigh, these five guards, just treat it as my compensation, you must not be polite to me, I can only express my heart with this. Ah Chun...Ah Chun..."

Lin Zaichun trembled, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Shi You still said quietly: "Then I'll... tell the truth. I heard from Ah Jin and Ah Yin that you get along very well with a younger brother of Boss Xiao these days. What is his name Xiao Jian?" I have always believed in your vision. He must be a beautiful child. Everyone who loves beauty has it, so I decided that I will not be a womanizer in the future, and I will start to be a man. What do you think of accepting him as a male favorite?"

Lin Zaichun felt cold and couldn't answer, but suddenly he heard an angry shout from the reeds behind him: "Shi You! If you dare to plot against my younger brother, I will chop you up!" Then Xiao Xiong turned him into a knife Forming a brilliant streamer, it caught Shi You's face in an instant. Shi You let out an exclamation, and ran away, and the two disappeared along the lakeside in an instant, leaving only a string of laughing and cursing The voices floated scattered from a distance.

It turned out that Xiao Jian and Gao Huai were not the only ones who were eavesdropping.

Lin Zaichun stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the direction in which the two were leaving. After a while, he gave a helpless wry smile, turned around and walked towards the town by himself.

Xiao Jian hid behind the reeds, endured the pain with a smile, finally waited for Lin Zaichun to go far away, but he bent down with his belly full, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Gao Huai said, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jian said, "Ca... I'm so angry."

Gao Huai said: "I haven't finished what I said just now, even if you don't need to listen to my words, don't you take the entrustment of the Second Hall Master to heart?"

Xiao Jian stretched out his hands to cover his ears, and said anxiously: "Third brother, third brother, why haven't you forgotten after a long time? I have forgotten!"

Two days later, Yang Baozhen left the deputy general to guard the camp, and rushed to Xin'an Town by himself, where he and Gao Huai began to formally deploy troops to attack Luoyang.Several people discussed in the tent of the Chinese army all night, and Xiao Jian listened to it all night, helping to draw out the deployment map of soldiers and horses. You have made a great contribution by burning Xin'an with His Highness the Third Highness. This general will arrange a good job for you, and lead a team of elite soldiers to go to Mengjin a few more times on a dark and windy night, so as to disturb their peace."

When Xiao Jian heard this, his eyes rolled, and Gao Huai habitually glanced at him with cold eyes, Xiao Jian immediately noticed it, and quickly restrained his smile in a sensible manner.

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the grain and grass in the area near Mengjin Baihedu that Beiyan passed through were burned.Everyone who robbed the food and grass was covered with a black scarf, and when they rushed out of the slanting stab, they directly fought with the guarding officers and soldiers.Baihedu is a very tight ferry on the Yellow River, and there are many soldiers and horses of Zhao State stationed nearby, so Beiyan did not invest too much troops here.When these gangsters rushed out, they thought it was a routine inspection by Zhao soldiers, but they were killed by surprise.Unexpectedly, the second group of enemies rushed out from the scuffle. They were immediately equipped with small pumps (water guns), and directly sprayed a stream of black water on the grain truck. Then the rockets fired at once, and the grain truck was instantly ignited. When he got up, there was a roaring sound.Seeing that the team of officers and soldiers responsible for transporting grain and grass was rushed into chaos, the grain officer in charge of transporting grain and grass shouted that the sky should not be called, and the ground was not working, pointing fingers and cursing.Hearing that the leader let out a series of brisk laughter, leading the troops roaring away, it actually came and went like the wind.All he could do was beat his chest and stamp his feet.

On the second day, Beiyan's general heard the news, went to Cheng Qiufeng to reason, and asked him why he let Dong Qi's soldiers and horses come to burn food and grass.Cheng Qiufeng said in his heart: "It's your bad luck if it burns!" But he said directly that he wanted to strengthen the deployment of troops in the Mengjin area.Push him away.

As a result, a few days later, Zhao Guo's food and grass were also robbed. Although the guards were tight and not destroyed much, it made people panic.Cheng Qiufeng was furious, knowing that the troublemakers came from Xin'an, but Xin'an and Meng Jin were too close and the roads were convenient, so it was impossible to guard against them.So they set up several ambushes in the area of ​​Mengjin, trying to kill the troublemaker.Unexpectedly, this army seemed to have foresight and never fell into his trap. In desperation, they sent frequent reports to King Zhao's residence, asking for more troops.

This time it was Xiao Jian who sent troops, but it was the five heavenly kings who were responsible for spying on the news first.The five people had nothing to do on weekdays, they only knew to stare at Lin Zaichun. Since Lin Zaichun had harassed Shi You once, seeing these five people became more and more distasteful.These five people have high martial arts skills, and their lightness skills are good. It is perfect to spy on the enemy's military situation.

Xiao Jian saw that Ah Jin was frowning, Ah Yin was in pain, and the rest of them were not much better, so he felt sympathetic and asked Lin Zaichun, "Second Hall Master, don't you want them to rest?"

Lin Zaichun said very gently: "Take a rest? Their martial arts are so strong that they don't need to rest. If anyone is really tired, they can come to me. I have Shiquan Dabu Wan here, and there is enough for it."
