Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

Sun Ben folded his arms and leaned against the pillar of the hall: "In the current situation, there is no need to ask this question. If you want to survive, there is only one word, hit."

Le Yue was irritatedly digging his head, Jiuyi City had been trapped for several days, and the food in the city was getting less and less.Big is sure to fight, but how to fight, how to fight?When I heard the books before, the famous heroes and generals in the stories led tens of thousands of troops and galloped across the battlefield, so majestic.When it really came to today, with the lives of [-] soldiers and the entire city in their hands, Le Yue only felt sweaty palms, guilty heart, and secretly cursed himself for being worthless.

Now, in the entire hall, Du Ruyuan, Luo Lingzhi, Sun Ben, Lin Qing, and Ying Ze were all watching him, waiting for him to make a decision.

Le Yue scratched his head again, hesitating endlessly.

Sun Ben said: "Give me five thousand soldiers and horses, at most two thousand, I can temporarily open a road, and let the people in the city go first."

Du Ruyuan immediately objected, saying: "Not advisable. Even if the people in the city can escape, the imperial court will not let them go. Now that the name of the rebel army has been confirmed, there is no way to retreat. They can only use Jiuyi as a basis to drive out their own situation."

Sun Ben sneered: "It's very easy to say what you want to say when you open and close your mouth. Please lead the troops out now, how about opening a situation?"

Du Ruyuan said: "I'm just talking about the overall situation."

Sun Ben sneered disdainfully: "I can't even take care of it now, let's pay attention to the overall situation."

The two of them were already at a stalemate.

Le Yue still hesitated and struggled, and couldn't help turning his gaze to Lin Qing, Ying Ze and Luo Ling.

Just as Lin Qing was about to speak, Luo Lingzhi said first, "Brother Yue is the only one to decide on this matter, and finally make up your mind."

Le Yue clenched his fists and slammed on the table: "Fight, definitely. But how to fight, I still have to think about it."

Sun Ben said: "Le Shaoxia better be decisive, there is no time for you to think slowly." He took Fei Xianfeng and strode away.

Le Yue got up and took two steps back and forth, then scratched his head: "I'll go outside for a walk."

When Lin Qing was about to go up, Luo Lingzhi grabbed her sleeve, and Shang Jing, who was above Du Ruyuan's head, shook his head at her.

Le Yue went out of the hall and sat down on the ground in a secluded corner of the back garden.The Xijun Palace has now become their rebel base camp, and only the mourning hall of the Xijun Wang, his wife and Xiao Shizi has been preserved.The funeral decorations hanging everywhere are still there, exuding a unique coolness in the sweltering weather.

Le Yue deeply felt that he was useless, and heaved a long sigh.

Lie in Le Yue's arms, Zhao Yuan comforted in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, just learn slowly, just like I don't quite understand what the Maid Protector does and how to help you. Ying Ze said , these things, you have to slowly comprehend by yourself."

These words did not comfort Le Yue, but made him more distressed.Yes, he and his Maiden Dragon are not even half-baked at all.

He sat for a long while, but he didn't think of any solution. When he returned to the hall, everyone dispersed, only Lin Qing and Ying Ze were still there.

Seeing him, Lin Qing immediately jumped up and asked him if he could think of a way.

Le Yue shook his head.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Oh, fighting a war is the most brain-intensive thing. So," she raised her hand to hold Le Yue's arm, "go out and relax, maybe you can figure out a way after a walk."

After leaving Zhenxi Palace, Le Yue looked around, thinking about where to go.Lin Qing suggested to him: "Why don't we go to the tower and see the military situation outside."

Standing on the city wall and looking as far as the eye can see, the outside of Jiuyi City is peaceful and serene, and there is no shadow of King Anshun and the army of Beijun.

Whether it was the army crushing the city that night, or the bustling scene of entering and leaving the city when participating in the selection of county horses, it seemed like a dream.

Lin Qing poked Le Yue's arm: "Hey, someone down there is looking at you."

Le Yue looked in the direction she was pointing at, and there were three or five piles of people gathered near the city wall, looking up at him, still discussing.

Lin Qing whispered: "They are talking about us, guess where is the body-protecting golden dragon that surrounded you that night, and called you Long Shaojun."

Le Yue looked down in surprise, a feeling that he had never felt before suddenly spread from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "How, this experience is very fresh, isn't it different from before?"

Le Yue nodded involuntarily.

Zhao Yuan suddenly said: "Oh, so Luo Lingzhi just wanted you to bring Le Yue to the tower."

Lin Qing immediately raised her eyebrows: "I didn't bring Le Yue here after listening to him. He just said that if Le Yue couldn't sit still, let me take him around and feel the expectations of the people in the city. Bring him Le Yuelai City Tower is my idea!"

Zhao Yuan shook his head, he vaguely heard what Luo Lingzhi said about his feelings, and he only realized when he heard Lin Qing mention these two words just now.

The idea of ​​the tower was obviously inspired by Luo Lingzhi, and it was not wrong to say so.

Lin Qing flicked its head: "You! It's easy to hear in Le Yue's arms! Please turn into a normal look soon, okay? It's just a decent dragon body once, and the result is You can only lie in Le Yue's arms like an earthworm! Don't let me always motivate Le Yue, and do what you should do for you!"

Zhao Yuan shrinks back into Le Yue's skirt with a guilty conscience.After the golden dragon shape appeared on the tower, it maintained its dragon shape less than a foot away, and could not change into a human shape.Le Yue could only hide it in his bosom every day, claiming that it was conspired and injured, and put a few pillows under the quilt on the bed in a certain wing to pretend that it was recuperating.

It curled up into the depths of Le Yue's clothes, Lin Qing snorted: "As soon as I talk about it, I will pretend to be a turtle like Shang Jing."

At night, Zhaoyuan finally waited until Leyue finished tossing and falling asleep, and then quietly crawled out of the bed. It burrowed into a secluded corner outside the house, mustered up the magic power accumulated during the day, and chanted the driving cloud formula, and climbed to the Xiaoyun that it had attracted. On, flapping tail rose to mid-sky.

Tonight is cloudy, with no moon and no stars, Zhao Yuan floated outside the city as usual, and carefully approached the tents of the imperial soldiers and horses who besieged Jiuyi.The camp was very quiet, and it didn't look like a surprise attack was going to be carried out.Zhao Yuan circled cautiously, and then floated back to the sky near Jiuyi City, lying quietly on the clouds.

Recently, it has been doing this every night. Lin Qing once brought it to investigate the situation of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but it turned around and left.But it heard that they might suddenly launch an attack on Jiuyi at a certain time, especially at night, which would catch Le Yue and the others by surprise.

So it guards like this every night.When it was about to dawn, it just rushed back to the city with clouds.

Its mana has been recovered and used up, but there is always not much left, and it feels especially tired today.

As soon as it floated near the city tower, it was exhausted and wanted to stop to take a breath, but it unexpectedly dozed off involuntarily. When the mind was in a trance, the clouds condensed with mana scattered and fell from the sky with a "bao" down.

Zhao Yuan was shocked, desperately trying to gather mana, but it was too late, the small dragon body fell onto the city wall with a "bang".

A human voice was heard in the ear, "Is there something that fell from the sky?"

Zhao Yuan's mind was suddenly confused, and suddenly a shadow fell from its head.

In another moment, it was quickly and lightly picked up and held in a warm palm.

Then it heard a familiar voice say: "No, maybe it's the dew falling from the sky."

It was Luo Lingzhi's voice.

Luo Lingzhi hid it in his sleeve, and Zhao Yuan felt that he led him down the steps of the tower, and walked a long way.Finally arriving at a quiet place, Luo Lingzhi took it out of his sleeve and put it on the palm of his hand.

Luo Lingzhi's voice was very gentle: "It turns out that your mana can't be maintained well, that's why."

Zhao Yuan's dragon beard moved, and he nodded slightly.

"Are you worried about Le Yue?"

Zhao Yuan moved his beard again.

Luo Lingzhi said: "But if you can't raise your mana well, you can't help much, and you will waste Le Yue's energy in vain, making him worry."

Zhao Yuan drooped his head: "I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will raid Jiuyi at night."

Luo Lingzhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will only trap Jiuyi right now, causing the people in the city to slowly run out of food, and it's not yet time for them to make a surprise attack."

Zhao Yuan squirmed and nodded.

It said: "Then you also patrol the tower every night?"

Luo Lingzhi gets up very early every day, but it seems that it is not the time for him to get used to getting up.

Luo Lingzhi said lightly: "I just came out tonight to take a look." He put Zhao Yuan back into his sleeves, "But don't do this kind of thing again in the future, hurry up and cultivate your mana. Let's walk on the street and wait for the dawn Finally, take some back early."

Luo Lingzhi took Zhao Yuan and Zao back to the Zhenxi Palace, which surprised Le Yuelinqing and Du Ruyuan.

Le Yue grabbed Zhao Yuan and put it on the table beside him: "No wonder I couldn't find you after waking up, and I went out to buy food with Brother Luo. You should sleep more, so that we don't have to stuff pillows under the quilt earlier Bar."

Zhao Yuan hummed, and drank the porridge next to the shallow bowl that Le Yue put in front of it.

Luo Lingzhi smiled apologetically, and said: "Today, I suddenly asked Zhao Yuan to help me. I asked him to investigate the situation of the imperial soldiers and horses. It seems that he has consumed a lot of mana."

Le Yue tugged at Zhao Yuan's dragon horns: "Well, it turns out that you are already able to climb clouds, it seems that you are almost ready."

Du Ruyuan said happily: "That's just right. After breakfast, please ask Zhao Yuan to help us redraw the situation map to see if there is any change in the deployment of the imperial army." You should remember the words and the location."

Zhao Yuan checked every night, and he knew it by heart, so he nodded vigorously immediately.

The capital, Anshun Palace.

The prince and Zhen were very angry again.

At today's court meeting, he wanted to ask Tan Taixiu if he had any old friends with the leader of the rebel army.Unexpectedly, Tan Taixiu actually claimed that he was ill and had not yet come to court, obviously a guilty conscience!

As usual, Feng Tong came to ask if there was any important matter to discuss at the court meeting today.

The crown prince said bitterly: "Tantaixiu actually claimed that he was ill, and if I find out that he is indeed related to the rebels, I will definitely be more responsible!"

Feng Tong said indifferently: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Tantai said that he was ill, and I informed him."

The prince changed color in vain.

Feng Tong said: "Did the prince go to the National Teacher's Mansion after the minister yesterday, and met Princess Chu Ling?"

The prince sneered and said: "I just wanted to ask sir, you knew that Tantai Xiu and Le Yue knew each other yesterday, and his daughter was childhood sweetheart with him, why didn't you tell me?"

Feng Tong sadly sat on the chair and sipped tea: "Depending on Tantai Xiu's temperament, he will not join the rebels. His Highness's enthronement is approaching, and he needs to win over the people in the court. Tan Taixiu is still His Highness's future father-in-law. A mere trifle spoils the plan?"

The prince said loudly: "How could it be a trivial matter?! If Tantai Rongyue really has an affair with Le Yue, wouldn't it be a big joke for me to marry her as my concubine again!"

Feng Tong was silent for a moment, and finally said leisurely: "There must be evidence for everything, and you can't just listen to someone's words. If your highness is only provoked by a woman's words, and you turn against your father-in-law, that would be a big joke."

The prince's face turned completely blue, he stared at Fengtong for a while, then flicked his sleeves, the teapot on the desk fell to the ground with a bang, his body was smashed to pieces.Grinding his teeth, he said, "Sir, you need to understand that although Prince Anshun's Mansion respects you three points, this is the Prince's Mansion, and I am already the Prince."

Feng Tong stood up slowly: "I'm trying to dissuade you so much so that His Royal Highness can be a good prince, and a better emperor in the future. But it's up to His Highness to decide whether to listen or not."

The prince's face was livid, standing among the porcelain shavings on the ground, watching Feng Tong's figure go away.

In the afternoon, the prince went to the National Teacher's Mansion again.

He sat in front of the table, with anger still on his face, he said to Princess Chu Ling: "Please tell me about the possible relationship between Tantai father and daughter and Le Yue in detail," Princess Chu Ling said. Weakly said: "I have told Your Highness everything I know. Your Highness, it is absolutely impossible for Rong Yue and Prime Minister Tantai to be in touch with the rebels. Although Rong Yue and Le Yue met privately once or twice, I miss her It's just that I want to capitalize Le Yue's life-saving grace. She is about to get married and become a princess, she will never be so unselfish..."

The prince slowly squeezed the tablecloth tightly: "What? Did she meet Le Yue in private?"

Princess Chuling immediately knelt down on the ground: "I just stayed in the wing room of my Xijun Prince's Mansion for about an hour..."

A teacup shattered beside her, making Princess Chu Ling tremble.She crawled on the ground and picked up the pieces one by one. A maidservant had heard the sound and came in, cleaned it up in time, and then brought tea.

The crown prince’s anger seemed to have subsided a bit, Princess Chu Ling observed his expression, and said softly: “Your Highness, if I have said something wrong that made His Highness so angry, please just punish him…” The Crown Prince raised his hand and said, “That’s all. It's none of your business, get up. I just don't understand why Mr. Tong wants me to marry such a woman! Tan Taixiu is just like a puppet made of paper in the court, and the position of prime minister is purely vain , why does this palace still have scruples about him!"

Princess Chuling stood up and poured tea for the prince: "Mr. Tong may think about it after the prince ascends the throne. Today's princess is the queen of the future. If she wants to lead the harem and be the mother of the world, she must be a virtuous and virtuous family." daughter."

The prince sneered: "The private meeting with the man's room lasted for an hour, what a virtuous and virtuous man!"

Princess Chu Ling bowed her head and remained silent.

The prince continued: "If you talk about noble birth, the daughters of many ministers in the court are not inferior to her. Even you, your status is much stronger than her."

Princess Chu Ling opened her eyes wide in surprise, then lowered her head in embarrassment.

It's a pity that the crown prince happened to be looking elsewhere, and he continued on his own: "When it comes to beauty, it is even more incomparable with..."

A crimson figure appeared in front of the prince's eyes, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

When he woke up in a blink of an eye, the prince felt that he had lost his composure just now, and stood up with a light cough: "Forget it, I will ask here for now." He got up and went to the door, and after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Yes Now, you live in the National Teacher's Mansion, and it's always a little inconvenient for me to ask you for a question, I've asked you a few times, and I'll definitely let Fengtong hear every bit of what she finds out."

He seems to know too much about Ben Gong.

The crown prince clenched his fists in his sleeves, but his expression remained calm: "Well, the queen mother wants to find a few people to come into the palace to talk with her. Tantai Rongyue is going to pass tomorrow. I don't know if I will send you into the palace too, how?"

Only in the palace, Fengtong can't move around freely, and can't control much.

Princess Chu Ling's hands trembled slightly in her sleeves, she lowered her eyes and said hesitantly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. But, I am wearing a filial piety, I am afraid that entering the palace..."

The crown prince frowned and said: "That's right, the queen mother may be jealous. Then I'll send you to the princess. Chen Taifei has lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time, so she shouldn't be taboo about these things. Just don't wander around."

Princess Chu Ling leaned over to thank her.

After finishing drawing the layout of the new imperial army and horses, Du Ruyuan put down his pen and stepped aside for Le Yue, Sun Ben, Lin Jing and Luo Lingzhi to look at it.

Le Yue rubbed his chin and looked around, Du Ruyuan said: "Don't worry about it, I drew both times, there is no difference."

No difference, what does it mean?Lin Qing said: "It means that there is neither increase nor decrease, and they are all on standby at the same place, and they will consume us slowly."

Du Ruyuan nodded: "That's right, we are waiting for all the food and grass in our city to run out. Besides, maybe King Anshun is writing to the imperial court, waiting for the imperial court's instructions."

Le Yue said: "King Anshun is about to become the Supreme Emperor, and now the Emperor is so ill that he is half dead, unable to intervene in political affairs, who else in the court should he ask for instructions?"

Zhao Yuan interjected in a low voice: "There is also Phoenix."

Le Yue showed a look of "you probably hit the spot".

Du Ruyuan said: "I remember hearing my father say that King Anshun is extremely cautious, which is very inconsistent with the vicious and decisive style we have seen."

Le Yue suddenly remembered that that day under the tree, King Anshun instructed him how to send troops in a certain situation.

If he didn't know his identity and met this person again, he would still only treat him as an ordinary merchant, and he would never think that he was the prince with power.

And the mellow and rich King Anshun at the Martial Arts Conference looked another way.

Which one is the real face of this person?Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles, but this opponent is too high-ranked, too unpredictable and difficult to distinguish.

By the way, the prince is still the illegitimate child of him and Mrs. Luluo.This is the biggest secret in the world!If you sell this news to Wanjuanzhai, you will definitely make a lot of money.

People like Du Ruyuan who are familiar with various secrets can only tell a few things about King Anshun.

Anshun King Mu's family also follow Fengxiang Emperor?After the king seized the throne, he began to make a fortune, but the origin of the first Anshun Wang Muling was more subtle than that of the Bailishi back then.He was originally the guard of Prince Hexi, the elder brother of Emperor Fengxiang. After Emperor Fengxiang seized the throne, he changed his allegiance to the new emperor.Today's King Anshun has always been cautious in the court, treats people kindly, does not form cliques and accepts bribes, and does everything without leakage. He is very worthy of the word "Anshun". It is reasonable to obey the orders given in the name.

Why would such a character give birth to a son like a prince...

Du Ruyuan said helplessly, at first he thought it was his son Sui Niang, the princess of King Anshun's deceased wife, the crown prince's nominal mother, and the late emperor's favorite princess.That's why the prince was able to change his surname smoothly and adopt him to Jinshang.

However, now I know that the prince's mother is actually Mrs. Luluo...

Then, it can only be said that the prince was negligent in teaching when he was young.

After Du Ruyuan finished gossip, he re-paved the formation map, and everyone began to discuss how to fight this battle.

Du Ruyuan pointed to the four directions on the picture and said: "Mao, Wu, You, and Guo. These are the four commanders guarding the four directions respectively. General Li and others should know their temper and tactics."

Sun Ben said: "I don't need General Li, I will know the news."

He pointed at the surnames on the paper one by one, Mao Wangfu, a general under King Anshun's tent, good at infantry.There are many mountains in the north of Jiuyi City, so it is suitable to use infantry.Therefore, King Anshun sent him to the front, and he himself led a large cavalry to station behind the infantry.

Wu Zhiming, a general under the Pingbei king's tent, is good at deploying bows and crossbows. There is a dense forest in the west of Jiuyi City, which is suitable for bows and crossbows to ambush, so he was ordered to station here.

You Changmeng, a general under King Pingbei's account, was good at naval forces. There is a river in the east of Jiuyi City, but he is not useful for naval forces. A mixture of infantry and cavalry was stationed in the east of the city.

Guo Lang, a general in the tent of King Anshun, is good at cavalry formations, brave and good at fighting, and has a good reputation. King Anshun sent him to garrison the south of Jiuyi City. Putting it in the south of the city also meant to beware of King Dingnan sending troops.

Sun Ben raised the corners of his mouth after briefly summarizing the information on the four of them, "From your point of view, if we want to take the initiative to attack, which side should we attack first?"

Le Yue thought carefully: "According to the information provided by Brother Sun, it will be easier for You Changmeng."

Sun Ben showed his white teeth: "I knew Le Shaoxia would say that."

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Tantai Rongyue, the daughter of Prime Minister Tantaixiu, entered the palace under the order of the Empress Dowager.

The palace is celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, and Puai is hung in the Fengci Palace where the Empress Dowager lives, and the ladies in the palace are all wearing sachets of various colors.

Tantai Rongyue was temporarily arranged to live in a side hall of Fengci Palace.

The palace maid first led her to the side hall, and another eunuch sent a clothespin ring, a multicolored ribbon and a sachet specially rewarded by the Queen Mother.

In the palace, everything from dresses, shoes and socks to hairpins and accessories must conform to the rules.

After bathing and changing clothes, I was able to meet the Queen Mother.

In the imperial palace, after all, it is different from other places. Tantai Rongyue felt dazzled by all kinds of luxurious furnishings and exquisite arrangements, but she didn't dare to look too much.
