The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

After returning to Qinghui Hall, Xiao Beichen began to deal with government affairs in an orderly manner as usual, seemingly unaffected by today's events at all.He wrote freely, reviewing the documents stacked on the desk without haste, and when he finished writing the last word, there happened to be a knock on the door of the room.

"Enter."

Mo Yu opened the door according to his words, and called the palace servants from the imperial dining room to come in and serve food.After the palace servants left, Mo Yu took out the silver needles to test the dishes one by one.

At this time Xiao Beichen came out from behind the screen, staring at the bowl of lotus seed soup on the small table, fascinated. "Is there any news from the western region?" He asked suddenly.

Mo Yu paused, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Whether it is the Western Territory Garrison or General Ji, everything is fine." These days, Xiao Beichen has to ask almost every day.No matter before or after the question, his face was very calm and calm, as if these were just routine questions.

But this time, Xiao Beichen didn't intend to give up. "Everything is fine, but there is no news." His eyes darkened, and his tone became a bit colder, "Can't you find out when you send troops?"

Mo Yu bowed his head, and said: "This subordinate is not effective, and I hope the master will punish me."

The situation in the Western Territory is special, so if you really want to take any action, you have to report it directly to the monarch.During this period, if any news is leaked out, it will affect the war.Xiao Beichen naturally knew this in his heart, but it was the people he cared about who were connected with the war, and he couldn't be rational all the time.

"Forget it, it's good to have no news." He comforted himself.After a while, he suddenly remembered something again, and told Mo Yu, "Get ready, leave the palace in the afternoon, and go to Mei's house."

Not long ago, Xiao Beichen came up with an idea and bought a house in a high-lying area of ​​the capital.It stands to reason that, as the crown prince, he could only live in the East Palace before succeeding to the throne, and no matter how bad he was, he would have a residence outside the palace.And his private house outside can neither be given away nor lived for a long time, and most of it will be left unused, but Xiao Beichen still insisted on buying the Mei house and recruited many craftsmen to repair it.

Mei House is located on the mountainside, surrounded by trees and few houses.Plum trees are planted all over the house. In winter, you can see white plums proud of snow and frost, and red plums competing for beauty.

The furnishings in the house were all designed by Xiao Beichen himself. The courtyard is dotted with rocks and interspersed with winding pine wood corridors. It is elegant and simple everywhere, without any trace of the majesty and elegance of imperial power.

Mei's house is leaning on a natural warm water curtain, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Beichen took a fancy to this place.He asked people to remove the wall and enclose all the pools under the water curtain into the house.

At this moment, he looked at the water level in the small pond that could only submerge his ankles, and frowned slightly, "It's different from what I imagined."

Mo Yu explained: "The craftsman said that there are holes in the surface of the pool, and the spring water will flow down to the ground, and then spurt out from the cracks on the three rock walls, so this pool can only store this little water." Then Mo Yu saw him Shen Mou thought deeply, and then said the solution: "Master, the craftsman said that the hole in the bottom of the pool can be slowly filled, and then the surrounding brick walls can be stacked up to form a hot spring pool."

"Yeah." Xiao Beichen nodded, he really wanted to build a hot spring at first.Then he looked at the water curtains in front of him that blocked his sight, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a colorful rainbow, which was extremely hazy and beautiful against the backdrop of dense smoke.

"No, this is fine." Xiao Beichen decided.Then he looked at the white foam and blue rocks in the pool, and slowly bent down to pick up the dead leaves that fell here unintentionally.Half of the dead leaves were broken, and the color was already dim.He pursed his lips and said: "Plant some black bamboo outside, he will like it."

After that, it was rare for the western region to rain continuously for half a month.One late night in early September, a group of people crossed the borderline silently and sneaked into the Moyan Pass where there was no grass on foot.

Moyanguan is divided into north and south, shaped like a water drop, and the north is close to the oasis, which is the tip of the water drop.The main demarcation road in the middle is the former trading road, with a high wall built on the west side, and the rugged terrain has the advantage of being easy to defend but difficult to attack.

14 years ago, the Chijin Kingdom sent troops to crusade, and there were internal thieves among the local garrison at Moyan Pass.Although the internal response was discovered before the war, the Dungan Kingdom still could not escape the ending of closing its doors and opening its doors wide open.

The drizzle gradually stopped, and the rainwater condensed into streams and trickled down from the temples, forming a pond in the mud pit below him.Ji Muqing slowly turned her head to look at the motionless soldiers behind her, and slowly raised her hand in relief to make a gesture: "Let's go!"

Three days ago, Ji Muqing led his specially selected elite team to enter through the small entrance to the south of Moyan Pass, then hid in the pass during the day, and headed north at night.And tonight they will reach the main road of demarcation.

According to the memory of the previous life, most of the soldiers of the Chijin Kingdom stationed at Moyan Pass are on the north side of the main road of the boundary.The south side is almost in a state of disregard, and their purpose tonight is to sing an empty city to the enemy army across the road while the large army occupies the south.

From the moment they sneaked into Moyan Pass, they basically saw few people, but they still dare not slack off along the way, not to mention the critical moment when they are about to reach the main road of division.

There was a light in front of him, Ji Muqing raised his hand to signal, and all the soldiers bowed their bodies and marched.Suddenly there was a pop, and a soldier who was walking in the front line tripped over a sack, and everyone around quickly stood on guard.

"It's okay, get up." Ji Muqing whispered.

Duan Yan pointed to the ground to signal the people behind to be careful, but just as he reached out to grab the sack, he found something moved inside, "Master, it's alive!"

Everyone was frightened instantly and surrounded the sack.

"It's a child!" There was a skinny little boy in the sack, who looked no more than ten years old.His eyes were gray and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.At this moment, he realized that he was breathing fresh air, so he opened his eyes with difficulty.

Someone in the team cursed in a low voice.

Ji Muqing only glanced at it, then turned around and said coldly, "Tie him away or kill him."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they all knew that there should be no surprises at this moment.If they show a little compassion and put people down, they may face exposure.At that time, they are the ones whose lives are in danger.Duan Yan gritted his teeth, patted the person who was tripped before, and said solemnly: "I'll leave it to you."

Afterwards, everyone only walked around a few rows of houses, and saw more than ten such sacks.But they didn't move this time, they just passed by while suppressing their anger.

Having seen the house with light, Ji Muqing breathed lightly and looked at the map by the light.There are people in the house, and there are overlapping laughter. It seems to be the residence of the people who guard the south.The screams of Shu Er's daughter's house came from the house, and the shrill sound pierced everyone's eardrums.

"General!" someone whispered.

Ji Muqing remained motionless, calculating their distance with all his heart, and finally marked their location on the map, heaving a sigh of relief, "We are here, on the other side of this row of houses." Then he saw all the soldiers bow their heads He clenched his fists and tried his best not to act impulsively, so he raised his voice a little and said, "Do it! Be quicker."

Everyone raised their heads in shock, "Yes!"

After all the soldiers dispersed, Ji Muqing put away the map, stood up and strode across the house.The rotten night was noisy in an instant, and the sword light and blood burst out after being suppressed.

He plodded through the two rows of houses and sent a signal into the sky.Not long after, flames sprang up behind him, and black smoke billowed straight up.Finally, some enemy troops in front of them reacted and rushed to them holding torches, but they all stopped on the north side of the main road.

All they could see was a row of bloody soldiers waiting leisurely on the south side, falling from the sky at this moment without sound.Standing in the center was a young face, the black cloak reflected the flames and billowed in the wind. The young man caught sight of the leader among them, drew the bowstring, and pointed the arrow.

The leader who was pointed at quickly took the nearest soldier to stand in front, and shouted in broken Dungan Mandarin: "Who are you?"

Ji Muqing, who thought he could handle it, sneered twice, and replied in the opponent's language: "I'll tell you when you go to hell." Then he drew his bow fully and aimed at the leader behind the human shield soldiers.

***

"Lingjing, go back to the camp first, I'm here." Zhao Ke looked at Ji Muqing's body covered in mud, and patted him on the shoulder without hesitation, "It's been a hard few days, well done!"

The corner of Ji Muqing's mouth hooked slightly, and he nodded.Then he greeted the elite team behind him: "Brothers, let's go first... what are you doing?"

All the soldiers in the squad were covered in blood, and they surrounded the little boy they rescued earlier, patiently feeding him porridge.And the little boy was not afraid or disgusted, and ate hungrily.

Duan Yan: "Xiao Lin, go get another bowl of porridge."

Ji Muqing put his hands on his hips, but he didn't expect Duan Yan to be squatting in front.He stepped forward and said condescendingly: "There are still more in the town, everyone take one back?"

The rest of the people turned their faces away, only Duan Yan was shocked, and said calmly: "Master, this child's parents are gone, I found it all, so let's keep it in the army."

"You raise?" Ji Muqing raised his eyebrows.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded together and said: "Everyone raises together."

Ji Muqing smiled, seeing the determination in the eyes of everyone in front of him, he turned around and prepared to leave.He took a few steps forward before saying calmly: "Okay, take it with you and go."

"Thank you, General!"

Then Ji Muqing walked slowly through the almost dilapidated houses. In the dark night, he couldn't see anything, but in the daytime, he could only see desolation and utter misery.

The large army has already started to search for the living, but they can't call anyone, so they can only search house by house.When you see those sacks, you have to open them, and you have to remove the baskets to have a look.Those who found out followed quietly, without any joy, and their every move was numb.

The rescued people sat in rows on the square, watching the soldiers running around indifferently. Only a bowl of rice handed to them could arouse the light in their dark eyes.

Moyanguan is also divided into several towns, each with about three to four thousand people.Today, there are only 4000 people surviving in the entire south.
