The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Bai Yu drew a pen on the roster and initially selected more than 20 generals.While drawing and drawing, he paused for a moment, then stopped.

Qiu Ye took a peek and saw that the tip of the pen was resting on Mo Yu's name.

Bai Yu didn't move for a long time, he hesitated to pick up the pen, just wanted to write and hesitated again, bit the pen holder in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Qiu Ye, go to the kitchen and get some snacks, I'm hungry."

Qiu Ye agreed to go.

Bai Yu finally chose Mo Yu's name.

A few days later, Bai Yu entered the palace and presented the prepared roster, "In addition to the commanders of the twelve guards, each guard is equipped with candidates who are in charge of food, Fenwei, Fuqigu, Tongcai, and Fasuan, and the ministers also It has been initially drafted. Please read it, Brother Emperor."

"So fast?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and put it on the table, "Thank you for your hard work."

"My brother dare not."

The emperor watched slowly.The roster drawn up by Bai Yu is very detailed, and the names of the troops of the twelve guards, the details of the commanders and others are clear at a glance.

When the emperor saw the end, he paused his fingers and raised his eyes, "Commander Xun Fengwei... Mo Yu?"

Bai Yu peeked at the emperor's expression, still unable to distinguish between emotions and anger.

"I think he can afford it."

The emperor gave a "hmm" and put down the roster in his hand, "I will discuss it with several important ministers again. Most of the military generals in the court are those who can only charge forward, but when it comes to strategizing and winning thousands of miles, there are only a handful of them." , Thinking about it makes people worry. Yan Xun must hurry up to train talents for me."

Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is your relationship with Yan Xun?" the emperor asked suddenly.

"As an official in the same dynasty, of course they all get along in a polite and harmonious way." Bai Yu said so, but secretly gritted her teeth.

The emperor let out a "huh", "It wasn't you who slapped him outside the Supreme Harmony Gate that day?"

Bai Yu: "..."

"Do you think I don't know?" The emperor leaned back in his chair, "I have already taught him a lesson. If he dares to bully you again in the future, you can tell me. Just don't hit people in public anymore. Not good—you can't beat him anyway."

Bai Yu nodded embarrassedly.

Yan Xun's health has basically recovered, he started to go to work as usual, his salary was restored, and his life gradually became busy, occasionally he had time to talk to his father, and he never left the government.

"Is there something important going on in the court?" Yan Jun asked him during the meal.

"Recently, the system is being reformed and a new policy is being implemented."

"Isn't it the thirteen new policies proposed by King Liang?"

"Father also heard?"

Yan Jun smiled ambiguously, "This is the job of the prime minister. Civil affairs have nothing to do with us. Has there been any change in the military system?"

Yan Xun paused, and said it from the beginning to the end, Yan Jun didn't say a word after listening.

"father?"

Yan Jun said after a long while: "The king of Liang changed the military system with all his heart and mind. I named you a king with a different surname, and you inherited the title of Duke Yongming, and you have a powerful army in the court. Such 'power officials' have never been good. The end, let alone father and son. If the military system is changed in this way, you, a general, will have no military power if you are not in war. Even if you lead troops to fight, the vanguard officers under you will be able to restrain each other. Although it seems to be a vain job on weekdays, But because of this, the future of you and the Yan family will be safe."

Yan Xun lowered his head and seemed not in high spirits, "Yes, the boy understands his intentions. But..."

"but what?"

Yan Xun let out a long breath, "In the roster of twelve guards he submitted to the emperor, there is Mo Yu."

Yan Jun was stunned, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Are you unhappy because of this?"

Yan Xun didn't speak.

I don't know what kind of laughter point Yan Jun hit, but when he finished laughing, Yan Xun's face also turned dark.

"……father."

Yan Jun smiled, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Mo Yu was born in martial arts. Although he was appointed as an official, he has not made any achievements and has no experience in leading troops. So hastily handing over an army to him In his hands, King Liang's move is inappropriate."

Yan Xun nodded, "Yeah. I just came back from the imperial study, and I told the emperor the same way. I just don't know what the holy will is. Not to mention Moyu, he also appointed Yuchi Yuanhe."

Yan Jun thought for a while and asked, "Did the emperor ask Liang Wang to draw up the roster of the twelve guards?"

"Yes."

"Then I think the emperor's holy will has been made, and it's obvious that he has the intention of turning a blind eye."

Yan Xun frowned, his face stiffened, "But Yuchi Yuanhe used to be a rebel general..."

Yan Jun looked at him, shook his head and said, "There are too many traitorous generals, and Qin Ran Mufengyi is the first to bear the brunt. I don't see that you are displeased with them. In fact, what you care most about is not whether you are traitorous generals, but Yuchi Yuanhe."

Yan Xun was silent.

"I have to remind you that if the emperor's holy will has been determined, you don't need to say any more. Today is different from the past, and Yuchi Yuanhe can't turn the tide. What's more, the emperor is still facing the king of Liang."

Yan Xunyu resented, "Father is still the same as before, he likes to send Yuchi Yuanhe to him."

Yan Jun was slightly stunned, looked at his son and said apologetically, "I didn't expect that at that time..."

"Father didn't expect it, he obviously thought it through. Now that father's wish has been fulfilled, nothing else matters."

Yan Jun looked at Yan Xun quietly, the ruthless prince who had been killing and killing for decades, looked a little at a loss.

"Perhaps..." Yan Jun sighed for a long time, "Perhaps I can do something to make up for you. Xun'er, father is not hard-hearted, and the facts of the past are unavoidable difficulties."

Yan Xun looked at him without speaking.

Yan Jun seemed to give in finally, looked directly into Yan Xun's eyes, and said seriously: "Father, I'm sorry, I'll apologize to you now."

Yan Xun was silent for a long time, and finally laughed, "Father, I have been waiting for this apology for many years."

Yan Jun also smiled, and patted Yan Xun's hand, "What do you need Dad to do?"

Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "A few years ago..."

After listening, Yan Jun said: "Since the only witness has also been murdered, no matter how much you investigate, it will be useless. It is better to find a breakthrough from other places."

"That Ye Zhiyan next to him..." Yan Xun stopped here and shook his head, "Forget it, let Bai Yu know that he is going to be angry with me again."

"Why does King Liang protect Ye Zhiyan so much? Is their relationship so good?"

"The emperor told me that Empress Shuyuan and Ye Zhiyan's mother are biological sisters. Although Ye Zhiyan's mother harmed Empress Shuyuan back then, Ye Zhiyan was innocent after all. He is Baiyu's cousin."

Yan Jun's eyes lit up, and he said, "So Ye Zhiyan is also from Weiyan?"

"Yes."

"It's just a coincidence. King Liang's grandfather was the richest businessman in Weiyan. We have known each other for many years and are good friends."

Yan Xun seemed to see hope, "Why didn't father say it earlier?"

"You didn't ask." Yan Jun smiled, "Okay, don't worry about this matter, just concentrate on doing your job well, and I will go to Weiyan for a visit."

"What name are you going for? It will be troublesome if Yuchi Yuanhe's suspicion is aroused."

Yan Jun said: "Isn't that simple? Your mother hasn't been back to her natal home for many years. It's reasonable for me to go back with her to visit her relatives."

Yan Xun nodded gratefully.

Two days later, Yan Jun left with his wife, and Yan Xun returned to the dreadful days of being surrounded by six little boys.

Although Yan Xun didn't need to take care of all the trivial matters in life, they were really noisy when they quarreled, and Yan Yue especially liked to bring his younger brothers to harass Yan Xun, which made Yan Xun miserable.Fortunately, Yan Zun understood him and volunteered to help him solve his problems.

After finally coaxing the children away, Yan Zun heaved a sigh of relief, sat down and poured a cup of tea, then turned to ask Yan Xun, "Brother, did you tell King Liang about that?"

"Ah."

"Yesterday I went to Prince Liang's mansion. King Liang asked me to visit Wanwan's grave every year."

"That's as it should be."

Yan Zun nodded, remembered something and smiled again: "By the way, brother, guess what I saw in Prince Liang's Mansion?"

Yan Xun raised his eyes and guessed about seven or eight points, "Moyu?"

"He's teaching the king of Liang how to practice martial arts." Yan Zun raised the corners of his mouth, "When practicing martial arts, there must be various physical contact. You said that these two people are quite young and fierce, and they hug and hug each other all day long. Something will happen sooner or later. Are you not in a hurry?"

Yan Xun's expression darkened, "Stop making sarcastic remarks here."

Yan Zun smiled leisurely, with a sly light in his eyes, and the bad water in his stomach suddenly boiled.

On the day of Qiu Ye's mother's death anniversary, he and Bai Yu took a day off and went up the mountain to visit the grave with paper money and tributes.Today's weather is very good, the mountains are towering and green, and the beautiful trees are shaded. Qiu Ye smelled the flowers and listened to the birds while walking, and the sadness of missing his mother subconsciously eased a little.

He stayed in front of his mother's grave until the afternoon, seeing that it was getting late, and it would be dark soon if he didn't go down the mountain, so he got out of the woods, got on his horse and hurried down the mountain.

Just when he had seen the road at the foot of the mountain, a rope stretched silently on the ground and caught the horse's hooves.Before Qiu Ye could react, he felt dizzy, and then he and the horse fell sprawled on the side of the road.

It was already noon the next day, and Bai Yu hadn't seen Qiu Ye's people yet.In the morning, he thought that maybe Qiu Ye was too tired yesterday, or in a bad mood, and needed to rest for a while, but gradually, an uneasy premonition came to his heart——Qiu Ye was never a person who did his own thing, even if he wanted to rest more One day, I will definitely say it first.

So Bai Yu called Wei Shiba and told him to take someone out to look for him.

At night, Wei Shiba came back empty-handed and frustrated.

"What happened?" Bai Yu was completely anxious now.

Mo Yu's mansion has been built, and he just moved here.Not used to being served by others, he tidied his clothes in front of the closet.

The servant knocked lightly on the door, and Mo Yu walked over to open the door. The servant respectfully handed over a name card to Mo Yu, "General, someone is asking to see you outside the door."

"It's so late, who is it?" Mo Yu opened the name card in doubt, and then froze.

There are only four words in the name post:

help me.Qiu Ye.

Mo Yu quickly ran to the gate, and the guard told him that the person who had just asked to see had left, but left behind this note.

Mo Yu quickly took it over to have a look, and there was an address on it.
