Leaning on the railing Jiangyue

With the bells at dawn and the drums at dusk, and the sun setting in the evening, Xu Fengjin was recuperating in Puguang Temple for three days. She became sicker and couldn't even get up. However, this was what outsiders saw.

The abbot didn't expect Princess Yu to have such a poor physique. If something bad happens in the temple, he really can't bear it. He has some medical skills and wanted to help Xu Fengjin with a diagnosis and treatment, but Xu Fengjin was lying behind the bed curtain and said weakly: "Don't bother me for now. The abbot is here, there is a doctor who often treats me at the Wind and Rain Pavilion, I just invite him to come over for my little problem."

The abbot didn't force it, and quickly arranged for the little novice to go down the mountain to invite him. Uncle Chang came at dusk when he got the news, and took Xu Fengjin's pulse.

The abbot sighed: "Then the concubine will cultivate well, and I won't let anyone come to bother me."

Uncle Chang nodded and sent the abbot out. When he came back, Xu Fengjin got up energetically and exchanged clothes with Cen Ling. He couldn't help but worry: "Shaoshan told me yesterday that the princess really wants to go with him. Going to the border? But it’s been a long journey, full of hardships, are you really not going to bring any more people?”

Xu Fengjin smiled and said, "You don't need to bring it, I will protect myself together with Shao Shan." Then he said to Cen Ling: "I will go out with Uncle Chang later, and Cheng Qiao will come in instead."

Cen Ling was a little surprised and said, "Why did Brother Cheng Qiao come to help Ah Jin?"

Xu Fengjin said: "He wished that I would catch up with Yu Lang and take care of him. Of course I would be willing to help. You two should stay in the temple for a few more days. When Uncle Chang comes next time, I will take you back to the mansion." He added: " I don’t know when I’ll come back after leaving. I’m worried about Yu Sanniang’s return to Lin’an alone, so I’ll let her stay in the mansion first, and let Captain Qian arrange for someone to send her off when she’s gone. You should prepare well. Imperial examination, this is the capital city, no one recognizes you. Even though you have registered as a prostitute in Lin'an, don't be afraid. If you are upright and talented, others will only obey you. People who are jealous of you can't find a reason, so they will make fun of it. you."

Cen Ling nodded, took his hand and said, "A Jin, you and the prince must come back soon."

After explaining this, Xu Fengjin and Uncle Chang went out of the mountain gate together. The night was quiet and the shadows of the trees were deep. Cheng Qiao, wearing the same clothes as Xu Fengjin, said to him: "You and Mr. Xi are careful on the road, and you must take good care of him when you see the prince." Then he said awkwardly: "Also... ...you might as well take care of yourself."

Xu Fengjin patted him on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Cheng Qiao."

Cheng Qiao didn't think that he would still be called this name, so she raised her posture, cleared her throat and said, "Why do you still call me brother, you and the prince are like that...it's against the rules."

Xu Fengjin said generously: "Let's let you be a brother for a few days first, and then talk about the rules when I become a serious princess someday."

A few people simply said goodbye, and then went their separate ways. Uncle Chang took Cheng Qiao to his old friend's clinic to fetch a few packs of Anshen fruit tea as a pretense. Xi Shan had already bribed the guards at the city gate, and took advantage of the moonlight to go with Xu Fengjin Jiangbei direction.

After experiencing the elegance of Lin'an and the prosperity of Kyoto, now all the way is wild and flat hills, and the vastness of the world shows the waves and mountains and rivers.The journey between Zhao and Xu took three days, the former's hooves rolled up the yellow sand, and the latter's horses and horses whirled sharply. They saw the scenery in their eyes, but they thought they were alone in their hearts.

After entering the Jiangbei area, most of them are military officers. The commander of the garrison, Wang Chengshan, was training in the school grounds. His subordinates came to report in a hurry. After listening carefully, they hurriedly put on their armor and walked to the gate of the school grounds. He saluted and said: "This subordinate has met General Pingbei and the Seventh Prince!"

Zhao Jun said "Excuse me", stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen Commander Wang, and he has grown quite a lot."

Wang Chengshan hurriedly said: "I made the general laugh." Then he looked at Zhao Yu: "I never expected to see the Seventh Prince again. The last time I went to Beijing, thanks to the Seventh Prince's rescue, I have never had the chance to go to the middle of the capital all these years. , and I can no longer thank you."

Zhao Yu waved his hands and said, "It's all trivial matters, Commander Wang doesn't have to worry about it."

A few years ago, Wang Chengshan was also the governor of Ningzhou. It was Zhao Duan's birthday, and he went to Beijing to report on his duties. He brought a lot of local specialties as congratulatory gifts, but he didn't want to be intercepted by someone who cared about him halfway. His difficulties also made Zhao Duan appreciate him more. Since then, he returned to Ningzhou to increase his rank and rank, and now he has become the commander of the garrison.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and followed Wang Chengshan back to the mansion near the school grounds. Zhao Yu asked him to retreat, leaving only the three of them in the study to discuss matters. Wang Chengshan was shocked by the prince's collusion with the enemy. He didn't know what expression to make, and hurriedly said: " What does the lord mean, that some people from Xia have already entered the Ningzhou area?"

Zhao Yu nodded, and asked him to unfold the topography map: "The number of people is probably not large, about four or five hundred, and it is convenient to hide and evacuate. If these hundreds of people are scattered and used properly, there may be chaos. But on the contrary, if they gather forces, they will It can be wiped out in one fell swoop.”

At three o'clock in the morning, the moon and stars were thin, Xu Fengjin and Xie Shan traveled to the foot of Panlongpo Mountain, but were blocked outside the city again. It was the first time for both of them to travel far. But it doesn't matter, there are many village inns along the road, although they are not as clean as the city, but they can still sleep well, Xu Fengjin doesn't ask for anything else, it is a blessing not to sleep in the barren hills on the road, and he doesn't know every bed he has slept on along the way. Did Zhao Yu sleep in the same bed?

After the two of them settled down, they went downstairs to eat. There were not many guests, including them, there were only three tables. After the coarse wine and tea were served, they started gossip. : "I remember the first time the prince went to the brothel, he was pulled and touched by a dancer, and he scrubbed his hands for a long time when he returned home. The next day, when he saw the back of his hand was bright red, I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to make a sound. The prince likes white clothes, but he doesn't look like a dandy prince when he wears them. He is a gentleman at all, so he has to make a lot of blue and green clothes. Wear it secretly when no one is around."

Xu Fengjin laughed for a long time when he heard it, but he smiled and sighed and lay down on the table to calm down, turning the white porcelain wine glass in his hand, and murmured: "I don't know where he went."

Xie Shan knew that he was missing him and didn't know how to comfort him, so he wanted to go upstairs to rest, but he heard a crisp "pop" sound from behind, and then heard someone say: "Really? If something really happened to that person in the East Palace, We need to act in advance." He said cautiously: "Go back to the room and explain in detail."

Xu Fengjin was still lying on the table, but the wine glass in his hand stopped suddenly, Xi Shan wanted to look over, but Xu Fengjin whispered: "Don't move."

The two of them looked at each other, and when there were footsteps going up the stairs behind them, they got up and went to the account desk, handed over two silver coins to the shopkeeper, and exchanged for a set of clothes for the waiter, and Xu Fengjin put the clothes on his body again after returning to the room. Put on a round hat, and said to Xi Shan: "You wait for me in the room, and I will go and hear what they are going to do."

Xie Shan was worried, and hurriedly said, "I'll go..."

Xu Fengjin was startled and said, "You are so tall and burly, how can you look like a little girl? If you want to pretend to be a butcher later on, go ahead, now wait honestly, if you don't listen, I'll go to Yu Lang to sue you for your bad behavior."

Xi Shan is innocent: "I, what complaint do I have..."

Xu Fengjin crossed the river and demolished the bridge: "You forced me to leave Beijing."

Xi Shan was shocked: "That's not what you said before you tricked me out of the city!"

Xu Fengjin chuckled: "What I want to say depends on what you do at this time."

Xie Shan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Then...the sister-in-law is careful in everything." Seeing Xu Fengjin go out, Xie Shan had to stand at the door listening carefully and wait with his sword in hand, only then did he learn about the guest room from the shopkeeper At this moment, Xu Fengjin could faintly hear the sound of knocking on the door to deliver tea, and after a while, he heard the tea being overturned and the guests scolding. , he distinguished the severity, guessing that it was Xu Fengjin who had gone and returned, so he hurriedly opened the door to let him in, then closed it casually and said, "How about sister-in-law?"

Xu Fengjin rummaged around in the house, finally found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, handed it to Shao Shan and said, "Do you know the landform of this area? How far is Ningzhou from us?"

Although Xishan has never been here before, but in order to serve as a soldier, he has read a lot of military drawings, so he drew it and said: "Panlongpo is a hilly area, the mountain is very low, and it is three hundred miles away from Ningzhou. Drive there It will take about two days."

Xu Fengjin said: "Then what if we hurry up?"

Xie Shan made a calculation and said, "It will arrive in one day."

Xu Fengjin pondered for a while and then asked, "Is there anyone from Yu Lang in Ningzhou?"

Xishan said: "Yes, the prince once gave the garrison to command Wangcheng Mountain, and he has always been in his heart." Then he said: "Who were those Xia people just now?"

Xu Fengjin nodded, and said again: "Does that commander know you?"

Xi Shan said: "I saw it a few years ago, I should recognize it."

Xu Fengjin didn't know how to fight, so he felt a little embarrassed, so he tried to ask: "Then if you ask him to transfer troops, will he agree?"

"Transfer, transfer troops?"

Xu Fengjin took off his hat and said, "I heard clearly just now that the Xia people originally colluded with the prince to start a war in Ningzhou, but they didn't want the prince to have an accident at this time, so they had to move ahead of time. There were about five hundred troops scattered around. Dozens of elite troops will sneak into the city one after another to disturb the hearts of the people, and when the north and south gather outside the city, they will break through the city and attack in two days' time."

Xie Shan didn't expect such a big thing to be bumped into by them, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly calmed down and said: "It should be possible to transfer troops, the prince gave me a waist card a few days ago, I guess Wang Chengshan recognizes it."

Xu Fengjin was surprised: "Waist card? When did you give it?"

Xi Shan took it out and handed it to Xu Fengjin, saying: "On the day he left, the prince has confidantes all over the country, this belt card is very useful, but I don't know why he gave it to me."

Xu Fengjin took it over and looked at it for a moment, only to feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He guessed that Zhao Yu had expected that he would follow him secretly no matter what, and it would be best if he could stop him. Repatriation at the gate of the city is just waiting for him to set off together, and preparing the waist card will ensure his smooth journey.

Thinking about it, Zhao Yu was also entangled in his heart. He didn't want the two to be separated, but he still loved him, and was afraid that he would suffer with him at the border.

Xu Fengjin's heart was sweet, and he said again: "Since they can be mobilized, then you can go to Ningzhou to inform Commander Wang later at night, and I will follow them for the past two days, trying to find a way to bring their two scattered teams together."

Xi Shan was shocked: "How can this work? It's too dangerous!"

Xu Fengjin said, "If you don't go now, it will be dangerous."

Shao Shan said: "But how can you bring them together with your own power?"

Xu Fengjin said, "I have my own way."

Xi Shan said sadly: "But this is still too dangerous."

Xu Fengjin said: "Whether I'm dangerous or not depends entirely on your pace." Then he said aggressively: "You are going to be a general, you can't be sure about this matter?"

In the city of Ningzhou, dozens of Xia people's elite soldiers were captured silently overnight. When they were captured and brought back to prison, they all killed themselves by biting poison. Just don’t let people in again.” He stayed up all night and his spirits were fine, but he felt inexplicably uneasy, and Zhao Jun thought he was sleepy, so he said, “Now that I have hidden enemies, they will gather outside the city sooner or later. At that time, they will be wiped out together, so there is no need to worry.”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "They are few in number, so they will definitely divide their troops into two or three groups. They must be gathered together before they can mobilize troops."

Zhao Jun nodded in agreement, but before he could speak, he saw Wang Chengshan's subordinates leading a person into the door. Zhao Yu raised his eyes, was stunned for a moment, then stepped out of the room and walked into the courtyard and asked, "Where is Jin'er? Why are you here?" this?"

The person who came was Xishan, who traveled hundreds of miles at night, and he rushed all the way to Ningzhou Mansion in the afternoon of the next day. He was looking for Wang Chengshan, but he suddenly saw Zhao Yu and said anxiously: "My lord! My sister-in-law stayed at Panlongpo Yinbing, follow me back and save him!"

After hearing this, Zhao Yu felt his ears ringing, and his eyes turned black immediately. He hurriedly called Wang Chengshan to send troops, and hurried away with Xishan.
