When the court was disturbed by the Xiongnu's surprise attack on the border, Tu Jiajing threw another thunderbolt, and Xiao Rongde, who had almost disappeared after being dismissed, came back to command Cangzhou!At the same time, Concubine Shu, who had been going smoothly in the past few years, was severely reprimanded by His Majesty when she was about to be promoted to the imperial concubine, and ordered to be banned for three months.

Although a few years ago, the Xiao family was hurt because of Xiao Rongde's dismissal and fine, but after all, it is a family of military generals, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse; this change of situation changed the situation of the court in an instant. All the courtiers were shocked by the impermanence of the emperor's favor.

Xiao family.

"Son, you can go at ease! There is a mother and your daughter-in-law to support the family!" Leaning on the big autumn-colored money python mattress, Mrs. Xiao is no longer as energetic as she was back then. , pulled Xiao Rongde's hand tremblingly with a withered palm and patted it lightly: "Mother understands now, that unfilial daughter—" before she finished speaking, she was already in tears.

Thinking of his sister in the palace who was connected with him by blood, Xiao Rongde's eyes flashed with pain, and he tightly held Mrs. Xiao's hand with his backhand: "Mother, don't worry, my son knows!" The little sister who grew up like a jewel like a treasure has become so unpredictable in her mind. For a man, she completely left behind her parents' kindness, brother-sister friendship and the glory of the Xiao family!

Standing by the bed, Mrs. Cheng saw her mother-in-law started to cough, hurriedly took the honey water brought by the maid next to her, leaned forward, held a small spoon and carefully fed it to Mrs. Xiao one by one: "The old ancestor breathes a sigh of relief, Although it was difficult in the past few years, but now that the emperor appoints a husband, he thinks he still values ​​our Xiao family! You should be reassured!"

Ever since her husband was dismissed and her mother-in-law was sick in bed because of her sister-in-law, Cheng had no choice but to take a tough attitude. Not only did she keep those villains out of the door, but she also took out her dowry and put it away. The shop is running.Therefore, the life of the Xiao family did not become too difficult due to the fine of 70 taels of silver.

Swallowing a spoonful of honey water, the itchiness in her throat subsided a lot. Mrs. Xiao looked at the blue color in Cheng's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Don't work yourself too hard—" Thinking of the car and horses being left out in front of the door before Rarely, after comparing with today's bustling city, she sighed: "The world is chasing power like flies chasing smell, it's really chilling!"

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's eyes squinting, Mrs. Cheng handed the empty bowl to Xiao Rongde, stretched out her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, put down the verdant and green flowered curtain that was hooked next to it, and the husband and wife walked out lightly.

"In the past few days, it's true that I've been exhausted a lot—" Holding his wife's waist, Xiao Rongde frowned slightly, standing on the corridor, looking at the cluster of yellow chrysanthemums under the corridor, his heart was full of emotions : "I'm leaving soon. This year's chrysanthemum wine hasn't been brewed yet, and last year's chrysanthemum wine has also been returned. I haven't drunk it yet!"

After being dismissed from office, Xiao Rongde still felt resentful at first, but he gradually calmed down under the persuasion of his wife; The matter of military power suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. From then on, he completely put aside the grievances in his heart, and settled in the mansion to study and practice martial arts and teach his children.

Whenever people calm down, they will think wildly, and Xiao Rongde is the same.Although his official position has been wiped clean, Mrs. Xiao is still a super-grade imperial order, but Xiao Shuifu evaded her with a few words when she entered the palace several times; , I was so angry that I came back and guessed for a long time.

Hearing the melancholy in his words, Cheng didn't say a word, and quietly leaned into Xiao Rongde's arms, and after a long time, she replied softly: "You go, I will take good care of mother and children, Await your return……"

The melancholy of parting in Xiao Rongde's heart and the excitement of going to the battlefield again infected Cheng, but all this had nothing to do with Concubine Xiao Shu in the deep palace.

"Your majesty, let's drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat!" Qiuyue knelt on the ground and brought a cup of tea to Concubine Xiao Shu, with some pleading meaning: "Your Majesty is just not in a good mood, why do you have to hold your own body?" What about practice?"

Xiao Shuifu's face was still stained with tears, and the residual makeup had already been washed away by the tears. She covered her face with a handkerchief: "Even for the sake of love and learning over the years, he shouldn't treat you like this." Bengong's face is on the ground! But Liu Shi and Zhang Shi bitch saw it as a joke!" Thinking of the ridicule and pity in the eyes of Empress Liu and Concubine De a few days ago, Xiao Shuifu's beautiful face flashed a trace of viciousness , the long nails scratched harshly on the smooth lacquered tabletop: "Even if I'm down and out, it's not their turn to point out!"

Over the years, Xiao Shuifu has become the most dominant in the palace.Because she still had some plans for the Xiao family, Tu Jiajing allowed her to be arrogant and domineering. After all, no matter what, Tu Dianxue had absolutely no hope of becoming a great treasure, so it was fine to be named a prince; as for Xiao Shuifu, Tu Jiajing didn't think too much about whether he would be harassed by the future empress dowager in the future!

"Can't move those two who have left the palace, Tu Dianfei—can't I do it?" Xiao Shuifu casually threw down the tear-stained handkerchief on her knees, and ordered: "Qiuyue, what do you say?" The prince is twelve or thirteen years old this year, so he should be well versed in personnel affairs! You make arrangements, and then try to lure someone over there!"

Qiuyue shuddered, glanced at Concubine Xiao Shu, then lowered her head and responded softly.The fourth prince, Tu Dianfei, can be said to be the lifeblood of Empress Liu. No one knows better than Qiuyue what kind of character the little maid who was placed by her own mother in Tianlin Palace is...

Seeing Qiuyue bowing and bowing obediently and retreating, Xiao Shuifu's face darkened all of a sudden, and she noticed Qiuyue's insignificant delay just now. Sure enough, the slave has a big heart and is disobedient !

——————————— Ye Zenan, the dividing line gentleman who appeared on the stage——————————

Beacon smoke rises from the sky in the desert, and horseshoes step on the dust and wind.

At night, a small group of figures sneaked in the dark among the low bushes, but they didn't know that their every move fell into the eyes of the people who had been ambushing on the small slope next to them for a long time.

"Come on, come on!" Although the voice has been lowered, the gnashing of teeth and excitement in the voice can still be heard: "Fucking told us to wait for three days, and finally caught them!"

Lying on the ground, with animal skins wrapped around his body to reduce the possible noise when crawling and crossing the bushes, and also to resist the bone-chilling cold at night, Ye Zenan moved his arms awkwardly, but was half-bowed in front of him. Tang Sui, who was leaning forward, slapped him.

It is the waning moon that is curved like a hook, and the stars are shimmering, which cannot illuminate the dark night.Tang Sui's sharp eyes fixed on the movement of the group of people, and his hand tightly gripped the hilt of the sword.

The leader at the bottom was the "wild wolf" Kui Yun who worried Lin Qingwei very much before. He looked at the Yanyun camp in the distance where only two red lanterns were picked up at Yingkou, his brows were so wrinkled that he could kill a fly, and decisively said: With a wave of his hand, about twenty people behind him stopped immediately.

"Are you sure that Tang Suiqian is not in the camp today?" Kai Yun had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he thought that it was the news from Wu Wen Shanyu's subordinates.

A bearded man behind him replied gruffly, "Why should the general think too much about it? What Khan said must be right!"

Although they all lowered their voices as much as possible, and they spoke Chinese with a very strange rolling tongue, but it did not prevent Tang Suiqian from identifying what they were talking about. Hearing this, Tang Suiqian's expression was serious, and Yanyun Daying was united. , Where did they get the news that they were not in the camp tonight?Could it be that there is a traitor! ?

Wei Yun thought for a while, and decided to put aside the palpitations that had just flashed by just now. Da Khan never missed what he said, so it must be no problem!After making a gesture, he continued to sneak in the direction of Yanyun Camp.

With a sigh of relief, when Tang Suiqian recognized who the leader was, his heart sank high; although this Kai Yun was not outstanding in intelligence, his intuition was like a wild wolf, so he was quite angry with the Huns. Wen Shanyu's attention.Rao Tang Sui was such a general who was engraved with the art of war, formation, etc. in his heart, and he couldn't guarantee the number of winners and losers. After all, an enemy who made unreasonable moves was really a headache——

With a movement of his ears, he caught the whistling sound coming from the sky, and Kai Yun's eyes widened, and before he could look back, he hurriedly dodged past, but he didn't want to hit Tang Sui in his arms.

The first arrow was just to attract Kai Yun's attention, and then the next two arrows were the real killer!

No matter how tall and mighty he was, he couldn't resist the toxins on the arrowhead, so he fell heavily on the ground, staring at the endless darkness. Kai Yun didn't expect until his death that his trust and loyalty to the leader would turn into murder. own culprit.

"Good job!" Tang Sui patted Ye Zenan's shoulder appreciatively, the cold light of the sword in his hand flashed in the night, and the soldiers lying on the ground behind them grabbed their weapons and rushed down.

Ye Zenan was standing on the slope, holding a short bow in his hand, it turned out that he was the one who shot the three arrows just now, and he was the best at listening to the sound.Looking at the group of people who were shouting to kill immediately, although he couldn't see the details of the situation, the crisp and cold sound of the shouts and the clash of swords in his ears was very clear. The short bow was thrown directly on the ground, the left dagger and the right long sword followed closely.

Soldiers who came out of nowhere held torches, catching the darkness and fighting.

Who has no brothers, like feet like hands?Who doesn't have a couple, like guests and friends?What kindness is life?What is the blame for killing?Whether it survives or not, no one knows about it.

Ye Zenan raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face a few times, the blood mixed with mud and sand stuck to his cheeks, but he didn't bother to pay attention at all.Looking at the bodies lying on the ground beside him, he suddenly thought of the "Diao Gu Battlefield" recited by Ye Zisu when he was young when he followed his father Ye Zisu through the Zhuolu Ancient Battlefield; At this moment, I really felt the murderous aura and bloody death on the battlefield.

"Xiaoye, not bad!" A light slap landed on his head, and there was almost no strength behind a layer of armor. The general's eyes were full of admiration, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Bazong nodded: "It's okay, it's like this the first time I see blood! I think the pigeon's legs were weak back then!" Haha laughed, and incidentally revealed an embarrassing incident.

The person next to him nicknamed "Pigeon" is a 23-year-old youth, also looks fair and clean, but he is holding a big knife that is still dripping blood, his clothes are hung with some holes, and he utters a series of foul language , even more ferocious and ferocious: "Fuck me, I haven't even killed a chicken at home before! It's the first time to kill someone with a knife, let me try it on you!?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Hearing the man's words, everyone present laughed. Tang Suiqian looked at Ye Zenan with eyes as bright as the morning sun, nodded, and ordered the people left behind to pack up the corpses and weapons on the ground, then turned and left.

After a night of ambush, the soldiers were very tired.

Returning to the tent, he casually took a ladle of cold water and moistened his face. Ye Zenan felt his spirits shake. He raised his head and looked towards the east. The sky was just as white as before, but now it was already filled with clouds and rosy clouds.

He couldn't help but be amazed.
