The rivers and lakes are full of vests

Among the battalion commanders of the Northwest Army's deputy commander, Qu Feng was discussing with Long Fei how to deploy troops, when an urgent report came from soldiers outside the tent.

"Vice Commander, someone wants to see you."

Qu Feng kept his eyes on the book of war, casually said: "Let him in."

Soon, the sound of the curtain being lifted was accompanied by the sound of steady footsteps. He was about to raise his head when Long Fei beside him had already spoken first: "Second Brother... You, look quickly."

Hearing this, Qu Feng raised his head, his eyes fell on the bright and handsome face of the visitor, and the book of war in his hand fell to the ground suddenly.

He quickly got up and came to the young man, he was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, "You, what's your name?"

The young man said slowly, "My name is Fu Peibai."

Long Fei strode over as soon as he heard it, clasping Fu Peibai's shoulder with a big hand, "Your father's name is Fu Ming, right?"

Under the burning eyes of the two, Fu Peibai nodded.

Qu Feng's always calm and steady face was completely covered by ecstasy. He looked around Fu Peibai several times before he stood still and murmured: "Brother's children are so big, unexpected, unexpected, nephew Come on, come on, sit down."

"Uncles, I am not a man, I am a woman disguised as a man."

Qu Feng and Long Fei were surprised: "Ah? If you didn't tell me, you really didn't see it. You and your elder brother have four or five similarities in eyebrows and eyes when you were young. It turned out to be a girl's house, but why did you disguise yourself as a man?"

"It's a long story, let's talk about it with the two uncles later."

Qu Feng nodded, pulled Fu Peibai to sit down, and asked, "Why did you come to the Northwest by yourself, where is your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Seeing the joy on the faces of the two middle-aged men, Fu Peibai hesitated for a moment and said, "My father, mother and younger brother are all in my hometown. This time I came with the sect to do some private business."

"And another child? How old is it? What's its name?"

"Fu Jiaxu, ten years old."

Qu Feng smiled until fine lines appeared on his face, "Okay, okay, big brother gave birth to a pair of good sons and daughters."

"What do you call the two uncles?"

Long Fei slapped his forehead and replied: "I forgot about it when I got excited, my name is Long Fei, and this is my second brother, Qu Feng."

"I've seen Uncle Qu, Uncle Long."

Qu Feng nodded, looked at Fu Peibai with a gratified gaze like an elder looking at a younger generation, and asked, "Which city is the eldest brother in? How have you been doing all these years?"

"It's just a small village a few hundred miles south of the northwest. Everything has been going well at home over the years."

"That's good, that's good, it turns out that big brother and our brothers are only a few hundred miles away." Qu Feng said, his eyes turned red.

He was already in his forties, so he was embarrassed to be like this in front of the juniors, so he said casually: "The wind and sand are a little bit bigger today."

Although Long Fei had a rough life, his mind was very delicate. He glanced at Qu Feng and said, "It's indeed bigger, with very charming eyes."

Fu Peibai tactfully remained silent, and then the three of them exchanged short greetings among parents for a while until night fell.

Long Fei chatted happily, and wanted to take Fu Peibai to a wine shop in the city for a drink, but Fu Peibai declined, and then asked about business.

"Do you two uncles know where the Xuanyuan Sword is?"

The smiles on the faces of both of them froze, and their expressions gradually became dignified.

Qu Feng didn't answer, but asked instead: "How much do you know about your father's past?"

Fu Peibai shook his head, "Father never told me about his past, until today, I only found out his identity by chance, and then came to look for the two uncles, and what I learned was the same as what other people heard. "

Qu Feng nodded, and said solemnly: "Everyone in the world thinks that General Tiance resigned on his own initiative to go into seclusion. In fact, it wasn't true. Eldest Brother was forced to do so."

"Back then, it was true that the elder brother made great achievements, and it was true that the emperor was jealous, but it was true that the eldest brother resigned as marshal. He was charged with an unwarranted crime by the emperor, and after several threats, he was expelled from the rank. He was demoted and returned to his hometown, and when the new emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, he was afraid of being betrayed by the people and causing turmoil in the government and the opposition, so he lied that the elder brother resigned on his own initiative."

"Because the elder brother was demoted because he was guilty, and all his family property was confiscated, the Xuanyuan sword was naturally taken back by the court, but later because of the significance of the Xuanyuan sword in the Northwest Army, the emperor still kept Xuanyuan in the army. It was given to the current Northwest Marshal Zheng Hong."

Long Fei raised his brows tightly when he heard the word Zheng Hong, and his face was full of disgust, "This Zheng Hong is a son of a family in Beijing, his father Zheng Bo is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he has been sheltered by his father and his family. This is the only way to sit on the position of Marshal of the Northwest. This person has no ambitions, short-sightedness, and even more stubborn character. After taking office for four years, he spends most of his time fooling around in the city. If he wants to see him in the barracks, the sun must rise from the west. Just do it."

"The Northwest Army that terrified the barbarians outside the Great Wall at the beginning, now in his hands, has already become a weak army that allows the barbarians to trample on it. If the war breaks out now, it will only rely on the 40-day army and the [-]-year-old army. The mob in the sparse battle formation is basically defeated by one blow. If Xiye falls, at least dozens of cities in the Central Plains will be lost. I would like to see what the dog emperor will do if he loses the country passed down from his ancestors... .”

Before he could finish speaking, Qu Feng interrupted him roughly, "Third brother! Walls have ears, not to mention that we are still in the barracks, you know that misfortune comes from the mouth."

Long Fei snorted lightly and didn't speak again.

Qu Feng turned to Fu Peibai and said, "Brother lived and died for the Li Dynasty all his life, and made great military exploits, but ended up like this in the end. My brothers and I are naturally indignant, but it's just talking in private."

Fu Peibai stared at the map on the table, his eyes became more serious, "Didn't the two uncles ever think of supporting the army to stand on their own?"

She spoke lightly, as if she was saying something extremely simple, but when these words fell into the ears of Long He and the two of them, they were all shocked.

Qu Feng got up, went outside the tent, dismissed the soldiers stationed around, and then returned to the tent and said in a deep voice: "What is the meaning of this? Could it be that big brother has some ideas?"

The corners of Fu Peibai's mouth rose slightly, "No, my father is living a comfortable life now, and he will no longer be involved in the muddy waters of the world."

"That's you..."

Under the scrutiny of the two, Fu Peibai nodded frankly.

The tent was quiet for a while, Long Fei's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't hide the enthusiasm in it. He pressed Fu Peibai's shoulder with such force that it slightly collapsed her shoulder.

"Okay, as expected of the elder brother's child, his ambition is not inferior to that of his father, and we are all loyal men, so naturally we don't want to be under the hands of this incompetent man with a rich life, but when the elder brother left, he told us to live in peace, Only then did we give up this thought, but now it is different, now that you come here with the ambition of big brother, Tiance's [-] army will have the backbone, as long as you give an order, all of Tiance's troops will be at your disposal!"

"What is your father's ambition?"

Qu Feng replied: "Expel the barbarians, stabilize the country, make the river clean and the sea peaceful, and the world is peaceful. This is the ambition that my eldest brother pursues in his life."

Fu Peibai clenched his fists slightly and looked at Qu Feng firmly, "I will fulfill my father's ambition, so I hope the two uncles will help me more."

Qu Feng and Long Fei looked at each other and nodded together.

"What are your plans?" Qu Feng asked.

"The first step is to take back Xuanyuan."

"The second step is to launch a mutiny."

"The third step is to attack Kyoto."

Long Fei's blood boiled when he heard it, but he also knew that every step was extremely difficult, and careful planning was needed.

"Then do you have a countermeasure?"

Fu Peibai thought for a moment and said: "It is imminent to take back Xuanyuan, I intend to steal it, but before launching the mutiny, we have to find a reason. The Li Dynasty has ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the name of orthodoxy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If there is no reasonable mutiny Because of this, we will be classified as rebels and traitors, and the imperial court will issue a call to pay the Qing Dynasty, and all forces will respond to it, and we will fall into a situation where we are surrounded by enemies. Too little."

Qu Feng smiled appreciatively, "The analysis is good."

"I have the confidence to steal Xuanyuan. I will put it aside for now. Now let's discuss the banner of the mutiny. I am new to the rivers and lakes. I don't know much about the forces in the world and the branches of the court. I need two uncles to introduce me. fan."

Long Fei patted his chest and replied proactively: "It's easy to say, although the current emperor is only in his forties, his body has been exhausted at the age of his prime due to years of indulging in pleasure, and his current life expectancy is less than half a year, so the battle for the throne is gradually floating on the water. Among them, there are mainly four forces, the eunuch party in the inner court, the princeling party in the East Palace, the Wu royal party, and the Zhou royal party.

"Although the princelings have the name of orthodoxy, they have no military power in their hands. The imperial court guards and the garrison in Kyoto are eunuch forces, with a total force of about 15. King Wu's fiefdom is in the northeast, and there are many powerful soldiers under him. [-], the king of Zhou is the emperor's most beloved son, and his fief is the most affluent land in the south of the Yangtze River. Although his army strength is only [-], he has strong financial resources, so it is easy to recruit troops."

After listening carefully, Fu Peibai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is King Yan?"

Long Fei was taken aback, "King Yan? That King Yan who was not favored by the emperor and was sent to a remote place?"

Seeing Fu Peibai nodded, he explained: "King Yan is the son that the emperor dislikes the most, so although he enjoys the title of prince, he is not allowed to have the power of the vassal king to raise private soldiers. He has no soldiers under his command. ? And he stays away from the court, obsessed with anecdotes in the world, it seems that he has no intention of the throne."

Fu Peibai thought of that man with a soft and handsome face, and couldn't help but sigh that he was really good at acting. He had deceived everyone in the world. Everyone thought he was an idle prince, but who knew that he had a wolfish and ambitious side under his skin?

"He was looking for a map of the tomb in private, plotting against the throne."

"Climbing the Mausoleum?" Qu Feng and Long Fei showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

"The two uncles don't know?"

The two shook their heads at the same time. They joined the army when they were young, and spent decades in the barracks, and rarely heard about the world.

"The Map of Dengling Mausoleum is said to be a treasure map left by the previous dynasty. The Dengling Tower in the picture is buried with many treasures left by the previous dynasty when the country fell. Financial resources can change the color of the situation, the country has changed hands, and it was divided into four pieces and drifted into the rivers and lakes."

Long Fei had a look of sudden realization on his face, "I've heard of this before, but I just don't know the name, but it's just a rumor in the world, can you believe it? According to my ancestors, when the country fell, the world was in turmoil, starvation was everywhere, and the treasury was empty. Where did the royal family of the previous dynasty get so many gold and silver treasures and leave them to future generations?"

Fu Peibai didn't believe it before, but after experiencing the deaths of Ku Chan and Duan Wushou, and after she got the fragments of the climbing tomb with her own hands, she couldn't help but not believe it.

"I have seen the fragments of the Dengling Mausoleum, and there are indeed pieces. The King of Yan colluded with a sect in the world to search for the Dengling Mausoleum in private. If he finds it and uses this financial resources to recruit troops, he will rise rapidly and become the largest party in the world. .”

Qu Feng quickly understood what Fu Peibai meant when he said this, and asked, "You are also looking for the map of the tomb, and you want to use this power to recruit troops and increase your strength, right?"

Fu Peibai nodded, "Yes, right now the three fragments of Dengling Mausoleum have fallen into the hands of a Jianghu sect called Luoying Sect, and the last piece, it is reported, fell into the hands of my father back then, and it is still in the Northwest Army. I thought the two uncles would know a thing or two."

"In the hands of the elder brother? But the two of us have never heard the elder brother mention this thing. The three of my brothers have paid homage to the sky for the alliance. If he knew about it, he would not hide it from us." Qu Feng said firmly. .

Fu Peibai was also confused, could it be that Sang Yunshi deliberately revealed false news to her to divert her attention?But Shi Qinghan and Lu Wencheng rushed to the Northwest, if Dengling was not in the Northwest Army, where would he be?

Just when she was confused, Long Fei scratched his head and said, "Hey, second brother, I don't know if you still remember that there was a year when there was a bandit riot in the Northwest. Big brother took thousands of fine armor to suppress the turmoil, and came back victorious. A batch of stolen goods, including a box containing an inconspicuous yellow cloth, my elder brother and I didn't take it seriously, after confiscating the stolen goods, the box was left in the army warehouse. Mausoleum fragments?"

Fu Peibai's pupils trembled, and he asked, "Do you still remember the style of the yellow cloth?"

Long Fei thought about it carefully, and replied: "It's just an old fragment of a map. It's yellow and clear. I can't tell what the material is. It looks like beautiful yarn, very light, but very tough."

Fu Peibai clenched his fists and said firmly, "That's the fragment from the Dengling Tomb."
