old grace

Xu Kuan came to Pi Yu's house as a guest, and only brought a few guards with him, and they all stayed outside Pi Yu's house.As soon as Fu Chuan landed, he blocked Pi Yu's guards to the side of the open space with mysterious and mysterious means, even the blind man could see that he possessed unique skills and was definitely not easy to deal with.

Xu Kuan twitched his lips in a timely manner, and squeezed out a few words: "Young man is joking."

Fu Chuan lowered his head and ate the meat, eating it leisurely.

Pi Yu and Xu Kuan looked at each other, they were both guessing why he came, and they were a little confused.

——It's really unreasonable!

It's not that the Chen family has no one to use. They want culture and martial arts, and they have placed spies in the capital all these years with great fanfare.What needs to be done that requires Chen Juan, a noble and young relative, to come in person?

This mysterious and embarrassing silence lasted until Fu Chuan was full. He slowly wiped off the mutton oil on the blade, glanced at Xu Kuan, and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

He did it on purpose.

The spies Yan Hong placed in the capital were open and secret, and Wang Hu knew that the Chen family had a warehouse in the capital, and spies came and went.

Xu Kuan also spent some effort in contacting Yan Hong, looking for the spies that Yan Hong had placed beside Xu Kuan.The spy thought he would suffer disaster if he lost his wind, but Xu Kuan hinted that he wanted to surrender, and also said that in order to show his sincerity, he could recruit a few generals of the Imperial Army as his sincerity.

Yan Hong has done a lot of work in the imperial army, such as Pi Yu, Kang Li and others, have reached a preliminary agreement, and they are considered half of their own.

Xu Kuan came to ask Yan Hong, can I do this?Can I do that?It's a bit interesting to say that he wants to hand over the certificate, but he is more like spying on the loyalty of several generals of the Imperial Army for Wang Yun.According to common sense, Yan Hong would definitely not allow Xu Kuan to get the "own people" he had already bought, and he would know who was loyal and who was traitor.

But is Xu Kuan really loyal to Wang Yun?

The Chen family is so powerful that it will take only a short while to break through the capital. What will be the consequences of going against the Chen family at this time?

The civil and military officials of the imperial court of the royal capital, and the world's nobles, all have nothing to do with each other. If the emperor hadn't ordered the closure of the city to prevent them from fleeing, there are not many aristocrats who tried to escape to Shuzhou and Qingzhou to surrender.The spies of the Chen family are swaggering and domineering in the capital, and so far it has never been heard that if they are caught by the capital, they will be brought to justice—who wants to be this villain?Who wants to be retaliated wildly by the Chen family when the capital city is broken?

Today, Fu Chuan came suddenly, killing Xu Kuan by surprise, and he was tortured on the spot, forcing him to stand.

Xu Kuan only had one chance to choose to truly join the Chen family, or stick to loyalty and die for the Wang family.

"Kuan... I don't know why Mr. Xiaolang is doing this?" Xu Kuan's attitude softened a lot, and his tone became respectful.

"Since King Yancheng passed away, how many people in the imperial army starved to death?" Fu Chuan asked suddenly.

The words "King of Yancheng" pierced Pi Yu's eyelids, Xu Kuan heard the word "starve to death", and a vein bulged on his clenched fist.

Both King Yancheng and the Twelfth Emperor died, and what Xie Qinghe called the pillars and backbone of the Qin court collapsed at the same time. The king's capital, which was barely maintaining order, has completely collapsed since then.After the concubine envoy succeeded to the throne, his power could not restrain Wang Hu who held the military power at all. From then on, it became increasingly difficult for Huangzhuang to allocate food and salaries to the imperial army.After the concubine's sudden death, the little emperor succeeded to the throne, and the imperial army began to starve on a small scale.

If the concubine had obeyed King Yancheng's will and surrendered to the Chen family early, the desolation, chaos and hunger in the capital would have ended long ago.

Both Pi Yu and Xu Kuan heard the meaning behind Fu Chuan's words.

However, this matter is too sensitive, Fu Chuan never stated it clearly, and no one dared to take the initiative to discuss it on the table.

"You are all ex-officials of the Qin court. You have been favored by the Emperor Yu's family and have been paid half your life by the Qin court's salary. The rebels of the Wang family killed all the kings of the Yu family like pigs and sheep. You can still sit idly by with peace of mind. ?” Fu Chuan asked.

This is clearly pointed out.

Pi Yuming knew that it would be difficult to do it with thousands of people under his own command, so Fu Chuan even came in person, so he was too hard to get off.

Even if Fu Chuan intends to use his troops to fight internally, he can't turn his back on him.

——If you can escape today, you cannot escape the day when the city is destroyed.Don't dare to offend Fu Chuan today, try your best, maybe there is still a way out.

"I would like to listen to Xiao Langjun's orders." Pi Yu got up and bowed down, and immediately responded.

Xu Kuan's face turned blue and white, and he stood up slowly with difficulty, but he still couldn't bow his knees.

Pi Yu's eyes fixed on him.

This matter must not be lost, if Xu Kuan refuses to surrender, he will die today.

"I, Xu Kuan, have never eaten Qin Lu in this life. I have only received great favor from the Eastern Palace. If you are afraid of bullying and violence, and easily betray your benefactor, you really can't be a human being. However, Ying Xiao Yinger Lang is innocent. Can you allow me to summon the deputy general Jiang Hui? Let him join forces with General Pi and be under the control of General Pi." After thinking for a long time, Xu Kuan begged in a low voice.

Fu Chuan couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "Wang Yun may not refuse to surrender when he sees me. Why do you have to thank me with death?"

"The surrender of the Eastern Palace is for benevolence, and the death is for loyalty. Everyone gets what they want." Xu Kuan said.

Fu Chuan turned his head and asked Pi Yu again: "Does General Pi think it's feasible?"

Pi Yu had already analyzed the matter when Xu Kuan suggested it, and replied methodically: "Jiang Hui is a kind-hearted man, very intelligent, and loves soldiers like a son. Although he has a close relationship with Xu Boren, he would not be tempted for a while. Take the lives of thousands of Paoze and take revenge for Xu Boren."

Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Pi Yu slightly.

"That's good." Fu Chuan suddenly reached out, took a pomegranate from the plate, broke it open with bare hands, and began to eat.

Pi Yu and Xu Kuan both looked at each other in blank dismay.Why did you eat it again?

Xu Kuan was really uncomfortable. He was about to die anyway, and he had less scruples. He asked, "Can someone invite the deputy general Jiang Hui here? Kuan Lue's instructions, I'm afraid I won't make a mistake."

"Wait a little longer." Fu said.

Pi Yu and Xu Kuan didn't dare to ask any more questions, they sat down again under Fu Chuan's signal.

Fu Chuan was eating pomegranates, Pi Yu and Xu Kuan both had their own worries and didn't care about eating, just sat and waited, Fu Chuan didn't talk to them, didn't discuss any "coming" things, "coming soon" plans, see He danced to the maiko, and even hummed a few words along with it.

Waiting and waiting, not to mention that Pi Yu and Xu Kuan were anxiously waiting, the most unlucky thing was the maiko performing, who was so tired that he almost fell down.

Fu Chuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, just rest if you can't jump."

The maiko was so moved that she almost cried, and was so tired that she prostrated herself on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and then retreated out of breath.

At this time, the sun was setting and it was almost evening.

Pi Yu suggested in a low voice: "Xiao Langjun, if there is an incident at night, you have to call in the troops earlier."

At this time, Pi Yu was really worried. After all, Chen Jun was a child, and he probably didn't have the common sense of marching and fighting. There are more than 1 people in the Hussars Battalion and the Yingxiao Battalion. Take your time, it's impossible to just walk away.

At this moment, the sound of heavy armor hitting the ground came from outside the wall, and there was a sound of shaking the ground.

Pi Yu and Xu Kuan are very familiar with this voice, they stood up together, Pi Yu greeted the guards who were stopped outside: "Defend the enemy!"

Almost instantly, swords were on the verge of breaking out in the courtyard, all aimed at the gate.Pi Yu entered the door in a hurry, took out his saber, and tried to rush to the front row, but with a snap, he bumped into the invisible barrier Fu Chuan had set up earlier, and suddenly became dizzy.

Seeing Pi Yu's forehead suddenly swelled up a big bump, Fu Chuan wanted to laugh but felt that it was not kind, so he waved his hand to remove the barrier.

"There's no need to be nervous." Fu said.

Pi Yu clutched his head, not knowing whether to be angry or not, at this moment, the footsteps outside the door had stopped.

When everyone held their breaths and waited for the collision——

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

It was a very polite and gentle knock.

Both Pi Yu and Xu Kuan seemed baffled, they were clearly armored soldiers, didn't they leak the news and the emperor came to arrest them?

Fu Chuan pushed the latch away from the air, and then used his true energy to pull the door open.

The middle-aged man standing in front of the door was dressed all over his body and his armor was stained with blood. He was Kang Li, General of the Chang Geng Battalion.He took a look with his head, and didn't care about drawing his bow and arrows at his guards. He took off his helmet and walked closer step by step, dragging his heavy armor.

Pi Yu and Xu Kuan looked at him in astonishment.

The blood on Kang Li's body was still fresh, it was obvious that he had fought just now.Do I need to wear heavy armor when going out to hunt in the city?

Kang Li had already walked to the wooden platform where Pi's family entertained guests, and knelt down towards Fu Chuan: "Young Lord Jun, I am lucky to be a servant! Both father and son of the Wang family have already taken their heads. , has sent people to take over. Please Jun Xiaolang to preside over the overall situation."

Pi Yu was so surprised that the big bump on his forehead didn't even know it hurt.

He always believed that he was the Chen family's biggest insider force in the capital, but what he never expected was that the Chen family had a backer!

When Xu Kuan heard that Wang's father and son had been decapitated, his face became extremely pale.

Fu Chuan got up and walked out. When he passed by Pi Yu, he put the pomegranate in Pi Yu's hand, and said, "Follow me. Hussars Camp and Yingxiao Camp need to be appeased by both of you. If you wake up and lose your life for nothing, why bother?"

Pi Yulian repeatedly said yes.

Xu Kuan just woke up like a dream.Fu Chuan's attitude was neither far nor near, he didn't call him by name, but called his Yingxiaoying.No matter how sad he was for the death of his old master, he still had to take care of his brothers.As Fu Chuan said, the general trend is over, so why fight in vain?

Fu Chuan walked up to Kang Li, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "General Kang should make the first contribution in this battle."

Kang Li laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, his face was full of brilliance: "It's all up to Mr. Juan Xiaolang who is in the middle to command, and I dare not be greedy for credit."

Fu Chuan patted him on the shoulder several times, and said with a smile: "After returning to Qingzhou, I will take you to see elder brother. Let's go, go out and have a look."

Kang Li, a man as tall as an iron tower, followed Fu Chuan obediently like a child.

After walking out the door, they saw that the narrow alleys of Pi's house were crowded with Chang Geng battalion heavy armors, all armors were stained with blood, their faces were full of excitement and pride.Fu Chuan walked all the way forward, as if inspecting, and the imperial guards he saw all puffed up their chests.

Pi Yu had no choice but to follow behind Kang Li, feeling rather disappointed.

Xu Kuan looked at the robes of the Imperial Army who were vying to flatter Fu Chuan, and felt even more sad for Wang Yun's passing.

The Forbidden Army of the Royal Capital has a family background, and there are a lot of soldiers in armor.However, life is tough after all, Fu Chuan hastily glanced at it, and found that the soldiers standing in the front row were all decent looking, while the soldiers far away in the back row were not wearing armor, and some were wearing tattered armor.

Surrounded by the Changgeng Battalion all the way to Chaotian Avenue, the people waiting in line here were replaced by the infantry of the Shaking Mountain Battalion.

General You Xian of the Shaking Mountain Battalion stepped forward to salute: "The last general, You Xian, pays homage to Mr. Jun Xiaolang."

Fu Chuan was not as warm to You Xian as he was to Kang Li before, and nodded reservedly: "General."

Pi Yu couldn't hide the shock in his heart, he really wanted to change his eyes with Xu Kuan who was also kept in the dark, but Xu Kuan bowed his head sadly and didn't care about him for the time being.

"Is this going to the palace?" Fu Chuan asked suddenly.

You Xian was a little surprised: "Mr. Xiao Lang, isn't he going to the palace?"

"Wang Hu and Wang Yun are all dead, what am I going to do in the palace? Collect their corpses?" Fu Chuan turned around and took Pi Yu's hand, "Go to the Hussar camp and give them the Dinghaishen needle."

There are a total of six battalions of the imperial army, that is, six generals, and there are four of them at the scene alone.Kang Li and You Xian were bought by the Chen family a long time ago, and Pi Yu and Xu Kuan happened to be trapped in the Pi family by Fu Chuan, so what about the Huben Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp?

Pi Yu suppressed the confusion in his heart, got on the horse brought by You Xian, and ran towards the camp of Hussars together with Fu Chuan.

The gate of the hussar battalion was closed tightly, and all the soldiers were driven back to the barracks. On the periphery, the elite of the tiger battalion seized the commanding heights, patrolled sternly, and watched intently.In the center of the camp of the Hussars Battalion, the banner of the Huben Camp was erected, and under the banner was a pony, and the person sitting on it was Xiang You, the general of the Hussars Camp, who came to guard the Hussars Camp himself.

Pi Yu felt as if someone was choking his throat.Not only did he fail to catch up with Jiangong, but he was also closely watched as an enemy!

When he was gloomy and sad, Fu Chuan's voice came: "Here we are. General Pi, please."

The gates of the camp opened.

Xiang You greeted him early and saw Fu Chuan's face beaming with joy: "Young Master Jun, I will miss Qingzhou so much!"

Pi Yu felt like he was about to vomit all the blood from his heart.When did this guy slip away to Qingzhou?She hooked up with the Chen family very closely!Shameless dog leg!Lick the dog!lackey!

Fu Chuan cheerfully recounted the past with Xiang You, and Pi Yu rode his horse to patrol the camp, calling in his confidant brothers to appease them one by one.

After being appeased layer by layer, the hussar battalion guards who had been panicked and worried quickly calmed down.

In the past, when Wang Hu killed the emperor to stand on his own, the Forbidden Army experienced a dynasty change.The Chen family's power did not happen overnight, and this group of soldiers had long been mentally prepared to be ruled by the Chen family.I was worried that I would have to rely on my life to fill the fight, but now I have "surrendered" quietly. Who is willing to fight to the death if they can survive?

Seeing that the hussar camp had also settled down, Xu Kuan woke up from Wang Yunzhi's death: "Sinners, please order me to go to the Yingxiao camp."

Fu Chuan took a deep look at him, and said: "Among the six battalions of the Imperial Army, Chang Geng Shashan is the backbone of the rebellion, while Hu Ben Xiaoqi stays at the garrison, restraining the second battalion of Hussars and Yingxiao. Does General Boren know the situation clearly? ?”

In other words, among the six battalions of the Forbidden Army, four battalions have secretly surrendered to the Chen family, and they are the ones that have won the trust of the Chen family.

Even Pi Yu who thought he had a tacit understanding with the Chen family, his hussar battalion was under surveillance, and Fu Chuan didn't use his troops at all.

If Xu Kuan is dishonest at this moment, and really wants to provoke the Ying Xiaoying to fight the Chen family, the situation will be five against one.

Xu Kuan's expression was bitter: "Kuan's death is not a pity, how dare you risk your life with your robes? I beg for your mercy."

"Then let's take a trip." Fu said.

Pi Yu was very sensible, and without waiting for Fu Chuan to greet him, he told his confidants a few words, and soon followed.

Xiang You didn't withdraw all the elites of the Huben camp who were following him, leaving two groups of people nearby to maneuver, and the rest retreated to their own camp five miles away.If there is any abnormal movement in the hussars battalion, they can rush forward at any time.

Kang Li's Chang Geng Battalion Heavy Armor was always in charge of following Fu Chuan's retinue, and the heavy armor walked slowly and slowly.

After rushing to Yingxiao Camp, Xu Kuan felt that the atmosphere was very strange.

The camp was very peaceful, not as tense and low-pressure as the hussars battalion just now, and all the soldiers were driven back into the barracks, but the gates of the camp were open, and there were still soldiers patrolling the camp as usual.There were voices of soldiers talking and chatting in the barracks, and even laughter.

What's more, the Huben Camp is at the commanding heights near the Hussars Camp, and they are staring at them with their bows and arrows. There is no such surveillance treatment near the Yingxiao Camp.

Both Xu Kuan and Pi Yu felt something was wrong.

At this time, the scouts from Ying Xiao Battalion discovered the trail of their group and reported to the central army tent.

Not long after, a young lieutenant came out quickly, occasionally trotting all the way to the gate of the camp, and kowtowed in front of Fu Chuan's horse: "Servant Chen Jianghui pays homage to Jun Xiaolang! Jun Xiaolang is in good health!"

Xu Kuan finally understood.Among this group of people, those who claimed to be the last generals, such as You Xian and Xiang You, were all surrenders.People like Kang Li and Jiang Hui who call themselves "servants" are all spies of the Chen family!Jiang Hui is not only a spy of the Chen family, he is also a member of the Chen family!

No wonder Fu Chuan was so relieved of Yingxiao Camp, no wonder Yingxiao Camp had a relaxed atmosphere, and there were not even half of soldiers in charge of monitoring outside.

——Jiang Hui has already won the Yingxiao Camp, so there is no need for Xu Kuan to come and preside over the overall situation.

"Did you kill someone?" Fu Chuan asked.

Jiang Hui shook his head and smiled: "The fate belongs, no one dares to act against the sky."

Fu Chuancai turned to Xu Kuan, "Are you relieved, General Boren?"

Xu Kuan nodded with a pale face, and said after a while, "Xiao Langjun is lenient."

"Now that Wang Yun is dead, General Boren has to think about it for Pao Ze in the camp. Wang Yun was kind to General Boren, but what kindness can there be to the soldiers of the Yingxiao Camp? Now they are all welcome In the new era of Taiping, General Boren sacrificed his old master for his foolish loyalty. Where will he put his robes in the camp? To avenge General Boren is an ant shaking a tree and seeking his own death. If he does not avenge General Boren, how can he enjoy himself in peace? Taiping?" Fu said.

Xu Kuan had already made up his mind at Pi's house that he would never betray Wang Yun. He just didn't expect that Wang Yun would die before he died.

Fu Chuan had no intention of forcing him to lead the Yingxiao Camp to kill Wang Yun at all. Even if Wang Yun was dead, he would not fall into the embarrassment of confronting his benefactor, and there was no reason for him to die.The reason why he insisted on dying was to preserve his loyalty to Wang Yun.

"I know that General Boren is in a dilemma."

"Once General Boren dies, how embarrassing and embarrassing General Boren will be at this time, and how embarrassing and embarrassing it will be for the soldiers of the Ying Xiao Battalion who are loyal to General Boren. With heart to heart, will General Boren have the heart to put them in such a predicament?"

Fu Chuan said sincerely: "I can't bear to kill, and I'm not afraid of killing. General Boren think twice."

Xu Kuan pondered for a moment, then fell off his horse, bowed his knees, and said, "The sinner is willing to surrender."
