has become a demon

"Yexing led a team of 2 people and crossed the Zhenbei Pass the night before. After entering the pass, he was almost unstopped and headed northward. It is expected to arrive in Ningxia Town by noon tomorrow."

Bu Xiangming is in the account of the army.

"2 people came from Zhenbei Pass, why didn't you report it earlier!" Jin Wu's face was pale, cold sweat flowed down, he angrily scolded the guard eunuch of Zhenbei Pass who was kneeling on the ground.

The guard eunuch trembled all over and grabbed the ground with his head: "Godfather, the son is guilty, the son is guilty! Yexing and others claimed to be the team that entered the customs to pay tribute. After entering the customs, they said they wanted to redeem the prisoners, and they took out several boxes of silver. They expected the captives to be sent to Zhenbei Pass, so they rebelled together. Then, how did the [-] army come here... My son didn't even look at it!"

Jin Wu was out of breath, slapped the table and said: "Come here! Drag me out and behead for public display!"

"Godfather, forgive me! Please forgive me!" The guard eunuch had already been dragged down by the soldiers waiting on both sides, and without saying a word, he chopped off his head and hung it on the flagpole outside the door.

Bu Xiangming watched the farce with cold eyes, and continued to report the military situation after it subsided: "Among the 2 horses, there are 1000 cavalry, and [-] of them are Yexing's personal guards. Soldiers. Now that Zhenbei Pass has been broken, morale is high. I have urgently ordered Zhenshuo, Hongguang, and Yaofu to intercept it on the spot. But the situation is not optimistic."

"2 horses..." Jin Wu asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Master Supervisor should know that I am old, and he can no longer hold the 2000-mile prairie in Mobei and Monan. His ten sons and his brother Jimer all want to take the opportunity to seize power. It is also auspicious Mo's son naturally thinks so too."

"Our family, our family naturally knew and had such an idea. Otherwise, how could we communicate with them before!" Jin Wu said.

"Everyone in the Tumo Department [Note 1] is eager to try. Those who lack weapons buy weapons, and those who lack food sell food... But if there is no money, the dog who is in a hurry will also jump over the wall." Bu Xiangming said, "Also It is not surprising that Xing made a crazy move."

"Crazy move? How crazy?"

Bu Xiangming raised his hand and pointed at Weizhou: "Yexing mobilized 2 horses and will definitely plunder the territory of Ningxia. He will not let go of not only food, people, horses, and money. Weizhou behind Ningxia Town , is definitely his goal."

"Taking Weizhou and killing King Qing. The whole of Ningxia will be included in the Tatar territory. He will take root in Ningxia, and then he will go back and win the throne with the Taiji from the Tumo Department. The chances of winning are even greater."

"Weizhou?"

Jin Wu's face became even paler, his fingertips were trembling, and his voice became high-pitched and urgent: "Weizhou City was destroyed, Ningxia fell into the hands of thieves, Bu Xiangming, you missed the opportunity of the war, this is a capital crime!"

Bu Xiangming's face darkened.

"During the twelfth lunar month, I mentioned the Tatar movement with the military supervisor. The military supervisor ignored it." Bu Xiangming said, "The Tatars plundered, and there are no more than a thousand troops around Ningxia town! Four hundred horses! The [-] arrow feathers made in the Ma Temple disappeared. Even so, we Ningxia men still drove the Tatars out of the side wall.

"Since the beginning of spring, the Tatars have become more ambitious. Yesterday, I asked my lord to allocate food and grass to the front-guard army. My lord said that I lied about my military situation and killed my servant to humiliate me. Do you have anything to say?!" Bu Xiangming asked again and again. , "That's right, if Ningxia falls, I will die if I fail to fulfill my duty of guarding the land. Don't you deserve to die, Eunuch Jin? Don't you deserve to die, Lord Governor?!"

"Bu Xiangming, you—"

"Eunuch Jin, the conflict of spirits can be moved back a bit." Bu Xiangming restrained his breath slightly, and raised his finger out of the account, "There are millions of people in Ningxia who should not be tortured by this war. Only Ningxia Save, father-in-law can save, we can save."

Knowing that what Bu Xiang Ming said was correct, Jin Wu took out the soldier talisman he carried with him with a cold face and put it on the table.

Bu Xiangming clasped his fists: "Thank you, Lord Supervisor."

After he took the soldier talisman, he no longer financed Jinwu. The generals in the account began to deploy troops in Chen Bing according to the details of the military situation.

Jin Wu's complexion was not good, he forced a smile, and said to Liao Yi, "Let's go."

A group of people got out of the military tent and got into the carriage.

However, Jin Wu has always been restless, even when he returned to the mansion, he only felt more restless.

He paced back and forth in the hall.

Liao Yixin came in with tea, and said in a soft voice, "Master Jin, please stay calm. It hasn't reached the point of no return."

"Do you really believe Bu Xiangming's words?" Jin Wu asked him back, "Do you really think Ningxia can be saved? Do you think our family's life can be saved?"

Liao Yi was stunned: "You have made great contributions to becoming the emperor, and the ancestors have favored you even more. If Ningxia disappears, wouldn't there be ancestors?"

"Old ancestor..." Jin Wu sneered, "Emperor Daxing is newly mourned, how could Lord Long Live tolerate someone poking him such a big hole in the frontier? Even if Shu Liang is willing to intercede, is Lord Long Live willing to let our family go? What's more... More than half of the money we got from selling those weapons and grains went into Shu Liang's private treasury. Once the matter in Ningxia comes up, how can Shu Liang plead for me if he is not in a hurry to keep his mouth shut?"

"Ah... this, what should I do..." Liao Yi asked anxiously.

Jin Wu gritted his teeth: "Everyone thinks I'm dead... I'm dead, the Tatar invasion has been explained, the corruption of the Mexican state has been settled, and the emperor has also erected his majesty."

He was already panicked and terrified, but at this moment he suddenly calmed down.

"Blow up the embankment," he said.

"what?"

"Blowing up the Yellow River embankment." Jin Wu's eyes were crazy, but his tone was calm and determined, "This is already the case, and he did nothing but blow up the Yellow River embankment. Didn't Bu Xiangming always want to get involved with me? He Ruoyan If you are dead, how can you join me?"

"However, if the Yellow River embankment is blown up, no one will be killed if the town wall in Ningxia is so high, and the surrounding villages and castles will definitely die. How many people will die here."

He sneered, "Tell me, which one is more important to our Daduan Dynasty... Is it because I crushed the Tatars in Ningxia, or drowned a few untouchables without names?"

"One general will be successful. If you drown [-] barbarians, you will be able to wipe out the Yexing tribe. Take advantage of the victory and pursue Monan. Reporting to the court will be a great achievement! At that time, will the emperor care about the drowned village?" Jin Wu asked again He, "Yexing died here. How will His Majesty reward us? How will our ancestors treat us?"

Liao Yi's heart was already moved, and he said: "Please give me instructions."

"You bring some people and go to Zhang Liangbao to find Zhang Yiqian now." Jin Wu took off the dental plaque and handed it to Liao Yixin, "A few days ago, the Yellow River flooded and prepared explosives. You let Zhang Yiqian immediately open the door to get the explosives and blow up the embankment of the Yellow River !"

Liao Yixin replied yes, went out two steps and then turned back and asked: "The Tatars came in a hurry, what if they can't blow it up once?"

Jin Wu thought for a moment: "It makes sense. I'll go with you. If it doesn't work, blow it up again. Don't worry about the Tatars not being destroyed."

After saying this, he put on his cloak and said to Liao Yixin: "Let's go, there is no need to delay, let's leave quickly."

There seemed to be a fire in his body, burning crazily.

Zhao Yuan grabbed his back tightly, not letting him leave.

"His Highness is poisoned by love, I will help His Highness."

Xie Taichu whispered in his ear, reaching down, stroking him, arousing his affection.It didn't take a moment for Zhao Yuan to reach the other shore.

"Is it better?" Xie Taichu asked.

Tears welled up from his eyes, even while panting, he cried, "Not enough. Not enough... In the beginning... I want you..."

Xie Taichu sucked his lips, and then helped him out.

But it was far from enough, the body was exhausted, and the legs that had just improved were already trembling, but it was still not enough.

There was more burning from within him, burning his mind to pieces.

Almost instinctively, Zhao Yuan half-knelt up, lowered his head and went down to Xie Taichu, before his mouth reached there, Xie Taichu stopped him.

"Your Highness... this place is not easy..."

"I want you...to save me..."

He burst into tears like rain, he only felt sad, but he didn't know why.I don't know who to cry for.

Xie Taichu finally sighed, and cooperated with his movements, as he wished, making everything fall like a storm.

"In the beginning, save me..."

He heard his subconscious call, and he didn't know which catastrophe it was for?

He spurned his fragility, and watched the world full of ugliness along with him, but he could only let it fall.

Half of it is bliss like climbing into a fairyland.

Half is pain in hell.

Xie Taichu could save his life, save him from disaster, and save him from the sea of ​​desire... but there are some things... no one can save.

I don't know how long it took, but this absurd thing finally disappeared.

When Xie Taichu woke up, his side was empty.

Zhao Yuan was wearing a middle coat and a big cloak, standing by the broken door, looking at the morning glow in the east.Hearing the movement, he looked back at him, his eyes were still red, and his hair was messy, adding a bit of haggard beauty.

"You're awake." He forced a smile, "Thank you, Daoist, for saving me."

"Is your highness alright?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and looked outside the gate again.

"What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

"I...actually have fantasies about Lou Zhen. He is a disciple of Geng Zhenguo, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and a member of the Qingliu Party. When he was young, he wrote a speech criticizing the current affairs, which was valued by the emperor. This is why he became the governor of Shaanxi Xingdu and the governor of Xinjiang. Official." Zhao Yuan said, "But look at how high the walls of his house are, how can he still see the people's livelihood and hear the people's sorrow?"

"It's not just Lou Zhen... I was imprisoned in Ningxia, and I saw nothing like this. No one in high positions has compassion, and those who are officials can't wait to suck their marrow and knock their bones. People don't care about life and death, and they are nothing more than ants in their eyes." Zhao Yuan shook his head, "Such a place is actually called Fortress Jiangnan. How much of this kind of Fortress Jiangnan is there within my Daduan?"

"This is considered a fortunate place in a peaceful life. If there is a war, chaos and famine, the tragedy is not enough to describe." Xie Taichu said.

"I don't understand, why is that?"

Just as Xie Taichu was about to answer again, Tao Shaochuan rushed in through the door.

"The Tatars are coming, from Zhenbei Pass!" He said, "Feng Ge led the army from Baiting Sea to Helan Mountain."

After saying this, before the two of them could react, he said anxiously: "Liao Yixin received the Jinwu order and brought Zhang Yiqian to blow up the embankment of the Yellow River and flood Fort 47 in Ningxia—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise.

Tao Shaochuan's expression has changed: "It's too late!"
