On the ninth day of March, Guyu, a civil uprising occurred in Quzhou. The mob called themselves the Yaoshan Army. 5 people broke through the city gate. In two days, Quzhou fell and fell into the hands of the Yaoshan Army.

The Yaoshan army was approaching fiercely, and the Meng family received a letter from Quzhou asking for help. Before the whole army set off, the news that Quzhou was breached was sent to the Meng family immediately.

When Qi Xiao heard the news, he couldn't help being taken aback. The development of the situation was faster than he expected, but it couldn't be said to be a bad thing. His purpose was to cause chaos in Qi, and it didn't matter how the chaos turned out.

"Chi Yue, go and find out what Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Bo are talking about."

Chi Yue nodded, turned around and left.

Chi Yue was already very familiar with the Meng Mansion. Taking advantage of the night, he quietly entered the inner courtyard. The eldest lady was worried about her son's death and injury, and spent most of her time resting in the mourning hall or the flower hall next to the mourning hall. Chi Yue went directly There, indeed, the eldest lady was in the flower hall, not only the eldest lady, but also Meng Boquan, Meng Tao, and Mr. Bo.

"The civil uprising in Quzhou, the Yaoshan army is now very powerful, and the government soldiers in Quzhou are actually vulnerable, and the Yaoshan army may not be easy to deal with."

Meng Boquan was cowardly by nature, and when he heard that Quzhou was breached, he was afraid.

At this time, the only thought in his mind was to protect himself wisely and guard the three-acre land of Mengjia Lu'an Mansion.

"No! My son's blood feud must be paid by Hong San with his life! The Quzhou government sent a letter asking for help, isn't that what we are waiting for? We will send troops to Quzhou tomorrow! I don't believe those rioters can turn the world upside down!"

"Mother, calm down," Meng Tao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, "That Hong San will definitely be killed, but the situation is unclear right now, so we can't act rashly."

"What is the unknown situation? There are five thousand soldiers in Quzhou Prefecture, and tens of thousands of mobs are hard to beat with two fists, but our [-] Mengjiaxiang army, are we still afraid of their useless things with hoes and sickles? !"

"Mother, now our Daqi is facing internal and external troubles, Chen Jun is occupying Bashan and confronting Xu Zheng, the imperial court has ordered Quzhou Prefecture to allocate grain and assist Permit, but now the food has been robbed by Yaoshan Army.

I have just received a letter from my sister. The letter said that the Chen Guo army has crossed Fenglin Mountain. Your Majesty is worried about the situation in the northern border. In a few days, the imperial court documents will be sent to our Lu'an Mansion to gather the Xiang army. Not only do you want us to give permission To send food, Xu Zheng was also asked to recruit the Xiang army and take back Bashan in one fell swoop. "

"What? Incorporate the Xiang army? Then those bandits and mobs don't care? Give the Xiang army in our hands a license, what should we do? No."

"Ma'am, when the imperial edict arrives, we have no choice, otherwise we will be defying the edict."

"Then send troops to Quzhou before the imperial decree arrives."

"Mother……"

"Master, madam, young master, Bo has an idea."

"Mr. Bo, please tell me."

"The eldest son, please send someone to quickly enter Shuoliang, and advise the second prince to order the Yaoshan army to recruit the rebellious people into the Xiang army, and rush to help Bashan."

The eldest lady disagreed when she heard it: "What?! Mr. Bo still wants to order those mobs? Isn't he condoning the mobs to commit crimes?! Where is the law?! No way!"

"Mother, let Mr. Bo speak clearly."

"Master, Madam, Eldest Young Master, the current unrest in the family and country is the best opportunity for our Meng family to make contributions.

The war in the northern border is tight. If Xu Zheng loses, Da Qi is destroyed, and his lips are cold and his teeth die. To investigate, the Meng family is resisting the decree, and it is a crime of decapitation that implicates the nine clans. "

"I don't care, Hong San must die!" The lady didn't understand the important affairs of the court at all. Even if the state of Qi perished, they would vote for the state of Chen. Fenglin Mountain was between Chen and Qi, and the emperor of the state of Chen was out of reach. of.

"Ma'am, it's easy to kill Hong San.

Let's make an order, if Hong San doesn't surrender, he's committing a rebellion, and we're justified in killing him, and it's still a credit, if he surrenders, then we will send him to Bashan as a vanguard, even if his fate is serious, we can send someone Find a place where no one is around and kill him, saying that Chen Jun killed him without anyone noticing. "

The eldest lady looked at Mr. Bo, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Bo's idea is quite good."

Chi Yue leaned on the roof and listened for a while. The eldest son Meng Tao trusted Mr. Bo very much, and he fully accepted Mr. Bo's suggestion. He immediately sent someone to arrange for the army, and sent a letter to Shuoliang in person overnight.

"Tick tick..." Suddenly it started to rain, Chi Yue frowned slightly, but he didn't leave in a hurry, he didn't want to leak any information.

The lady saw off Meng Boquan, Meng Tao and Mr. Bo, knelt in the mourning hall for a while, and suddenly called Hongxia and Bailu to her side.

"Go and find two reliable people for me, and follow the brigade to Quzhou. Regardless of whether Hong San surrenders or not, I want his head."

"Yes, ma'am."

It wasn't until the eldest lady went back to bed that Chi Yue left the inner courtyard and went back. The rain outside became heavier and heavier, and Chi Yue was completely soaked. In order to avoid leaving footprints and traces in the corridor, he turned over the window and went back to the room.

Qi Xiao was bored at night, so he played Shuanglu with Yu Ran and Zong Sheng, while waiting for Chi Yue to come back.

There were two oil lamps in the room, and the stove was burning water. It wasn't bright, but it wasn't too dark. Chi Yueqinggong was very good. It wasn't until he entered the room that Yu Ran noticed it, and was taken aback suddenly.

Qi Xiao didn't take it seriously, and just said: "Clean up first, and we'll talk later when we have something to say."

"Yes."

Chi Yue walked around behind the screen, Zong Sheng lit another lamp, brought hot water over, and said softly, "I prepared a bucket of clean water for you, and clean clothes are on the bed."

Chi Yue smiled: "Thank you."

During this period of time, they were all by Qi Xiao's side, and there was Yu Ran, and they didn't even have much time to talk alone. Chi Yue knew how to suppress and hide himself, but whenever he looked at Zong Sheng, he always seemed unable to restrain himself Even if his eyes met occasionally, he wanted to be greedy even if he just met his eyes for a moment, and he wanted to be greedy. Every time he thought like this, Zong Sheng seemed to be able to sense it, and his eyes would stay on him for a while longer.

Zong Sheng approached Chi Yue, and handed him a towel: "Wipe it off."

Chi Yue looked at Zong Sheng, opened his mouth slightly, moved his lips, and slowly revealed a shallow smile.

Chi Yue obviously didn't speak, but Zong Sheng seemed to hear it very clearly, he said, wipe it for him.

Chi Yue's smile was exactly the same as when he was whipped in Dali Temple and asked Zong Sheng to help him. His neither light nor serious eyes seemed to hook Zong Sheng's soul away.

The figure was projected on the screen, vaguely, Yu Ran took a look, and happened to catch a glimpse of two figures overlapping each other, inexplicably ambiguous, he scratched his head and turned his eyes away.

Zong Sheng quickly wiped Chi Yue's back, and packed away his wet clothes as if fleeing.

Chi Yue held back his smile and shrugged slightly.

Chi Yue changed his clothes and came out to meet Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao had long since lost his mind about playing games, so he asked directly, "How is it?"

Chi Yue told Mr. Bo's idea and the Meng family's decision, and also informed Qi Xiao of the eldest lady's actions.

Qi Xiao smiled and said: "That's just right, let's find a chance to go to Quzhou with the Meng family."

Yu Ran asked: "Then I will send a letter to my brothers tomorrow to ask them to pick us up in Quzhou?"

"Ok.

Make people keep an eye on Lord Hong. "

"Yes."

"It's getting late, go to bed."

Qi Xiao reached out and extinguished an oil lamp on the table, leaving only the one by the window.

As soon as Chi Yue lay down on the couch, Zong Sheng woke him up in a low voice: "Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

The dim oil lamp was lit up bit by bit, and Zong Sheng stood in front of the bed, covering up the little light of the fire, and a long shadow hung over Chi Yue, with a hazy ambiguity like a gentle caress in a dream.

Zong Sheng didn't know what Chi Yue was thinking, so he reached out and handed Chi Yue a bowl of something.

Chi Yue took it without thinking too much, there was hot water vapor around the bowl, and a bitter aroma wafted from the tea bowl.

"Ginger soup?"

"Well, the weather is still cold, and it's easy to catch cold in the rain."

"For me?" Chi Yue knew that he was asking the question knowingly, but he couldn't help it, and wanted Zong Sheng to give him an affirmative answer.

"Well, keep it warm in a food box, drink it before going to sleep."

Chi Yue lowered his head and drank the ginger soup, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be contained at all.

Qi Xiao's bed was on the other side of the room, and he sat on the bed, crossed the screen on his side, looked at the screen at the other end, and thought about the light and shadow cast on the screen just now.

It was March, he had been away from Tang Ling for so long, and he would send letters to Bashan whenever he could, but until now he hadn't even received a reply.

It's not that Tang Ling never heard from him at all. Bai Xiqiao's letters always mentioned one or two sentences, but Tang Ling never wrote back to him, even a few words?

Is he worried about Xuanji Camp?Or are you afraid that he will be distracted?Could it be that you have nothing to say to him?

Swan geese send letters to send lovesickness far away.

What about his swan geese?What about his lovesickness?

Qi Xiao sighed silently, he wished he could leave the matter to Zong Sheng and Chi Yue, and immediately rushed back to Bashan.

***

Five days later, the decree of the court was passed to Lu'an's mansion, ordering the entire Mengbo army to go to Quzhou to recruit the Yaoshan army.

Qi Xiao and the others had originally escaped from Xingtianguan as government soldiers, and they wanted to join the military camp again. It was only reasonable for them to follow Meng Boquan and Meng Tao to return to Bashan to avenge their brothers and relatives.

Before leaving, Hongxia also gave Chi Yue an order to kill Lord Hong. Although this was unexpected, Chi Yue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately agreed, and asked about Hongxia's elder brother, and even said that he would Helping Hongxia find it, almost made Hongxia cry again.

The Meng family's Xiang army was ready to go early in the morning, and the whole battalion set out the next day after the imperial decree arrived, heading towards Quzhou.

This time, both Meng Boquan and Meng Tao were there, father and son soldiers, and even Mr. Bo, who refused to let go of any military merit, even if his Xiang army was in Xu Zheng's hands, the credit would also be Xu Zheng's. It's proven.

It was only a few days from Lu An's mansion to Quzhou, and the court's letter of surrender was sent to Quzhou mansion early in the morning before the army arrived, but the Yaoshan army didn't respond at all.

The army pressed all the way to Quzhou Mansion, Qi Xiao and the others were inconspicuous in the team, these few days of marching Qi Xiao can be counted on the Xiang army of the Meng family, just eight words, neglected to drill, messed up, and formed with those mobs The Yaoshan army who got up was half a catty against eight taels, and it might not be so good in a real fight.

Qi Xiao saw the Chengguan of Quzhou Mansion from a distance, in his eyes, this Chengguan was like a piece of tofu, not even worth his hands.
