"General Ma, he is really a very good general." The tall city soldier's eyes were full of tears, "We still can't believe that he is just so-so-"

He couldn't continue, and choked out a sob: "That day, we were on duty at the city wall with Father Ma. This is not the first time that Father Ma got drunk while on duty. Our captain scolded him many times. , scolded him for embarrassing General Ma, if he wasn’t General Ma’s former servant, and General Ma personally told him to take good care of him, the captain said that he would definitely kick Old Ma under the city wall to fill the moat.”

"It was already evening when General Ma's body was delivered to the city gate. Originally, the captain had told us to form a team and prepare to take turns with the next team, but at that time, we saw the body."

"Father Ma is the general's old servant after all... When he saw the corpse, the wine jar was smashed, and tears streamed down his face. Before I recovered, I saw that he had fallen." The tall man said. Unable to hold back, he raised his hand and quickly wiped away his tears.

Gong Jiu frowned: "Then how did he fall down?"

The tall man glanced at the silent young Cheng Bing in the team: "I didn't see it, but Xiaoyan must have seen it. He and Dad Ma have always had the best relationship, and he was also there when the captain asked us to line up." The one who helped daddy the horse."

Gong Jiu followed his gaze and looked at Xiaoyan: "Say it."

Xiaoyan was already in a daze when she saw Mo Qi without disguise. She almost thought it was a living god descending from the earth, but she never thought that this "living fairy" was the one who knocked him out before.In fact, he is not alone in this absurd delusion, and now there are still soldiers secretly looking at Mo Qi out of the corner of their eyes.

Gong Jiu's question drew Xiaoyan's attention away from Mo Qi.Xiaoyan clenched her fists tightly, but said in her mouth, "I...don't know."

The winter wind at Yumen Pass is bitter and sandy, and the people on the city walls are especially uncomfortable.Gong Jiu was not in a good mood at all, but after hearing what Xiaoyan said, it immediately became even worse, and said with a sneer, "I don't know? Could it be that you pushed—"

"Xiaoyan." Mo Qi, who had been silent all this time, interrupted Gong Jiu, "The one in front of you is the heir of Prince Taiping, and he was personally sent by the Holy Majesty to supervise the case. There is nothing better than telling him the truth. Father Ma has demanded justice."

Gong Jiu turned her head unexpectedly, and glanced at Mo Qi standing behind her.

Xiaoyan stared blankly at the man in black fur who looked like a fairy, and felt that the sunlight in the northwest was so partial that when it shone on them, it was only scorching hot, but when it shone on the man, it seemed to cast a spell on him. A layer of gilded light.

Mo Qi's flat voice was unexpectedly full of sense of stability: "Besides, the prince has already sent people to protect your family and relatives. The prince will protect your family until the truth of this case is not revealed and the murderer is brought to justice." Safe, no one can threaten them."

Gong Jiu's sword eyebrows raised even more fiercely, why doesn't he remember when he did such a thing?

He stretched out his hand, tugged at Mo Qi's sleeve that was hanging down beside him, and moved Mo Qi to a position just to block the wind, before humming with a half-smile: "Huh?"

"..." Mo Qi followed Gong Jiu's strength and changed positions. After realizing Gong Jiu's intentions, he was speechless for a while, and explained to Gong Jiu in a low voice, "Chu Liuxiang did it."

The last haze on Xiaoyan's honest and honest face was instantly dissipated: "Really?!"

It was rare for Gong Jiu to cooperate with Mo Qi, and said along the way: "Naturally."

The hope that had been extinguished in Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly lit up again: "I say, I say everything!"

Xiaoyan almost couldn't wait to squeeze out of the team, and hurriedly stepped in front of Gong Jiu: "Father didn't fall drunk at all, he was forced to jump the wall to commit suicide!"

The city soldiers behind Xiaoyan were in a commotion for a moment, and were suppressed by Lieutenant General Li's stern stare.

Gong Jiu: "How can I see that?"

Xiaoyan said firmly: "I can guarantee it with my wealth and life! Dad didn't drink much that day. When the captain was withdrawing from the team, I went to help him, but after he saw General Ma's body, he He threw off my hand and jumped off by himself!"

Gong Jiu was thoughtful: "Then it can't be said that he was forced to commit suicide?"

Xiaoyan said loudly: "But before he jumped down, he said a word!"

Gong Jiu: "What did he say?"

Xiaoyan: "He looked at the sunset and said, 'It's finally started...the sun in the west is going to set'!"

Hu Tiehua and Lieutenant General Li looked at each other in blank dismay.

Hearing this, it really seems that this old man knows something.

What is 'finally started'?What started? What does 'the sun is going to set in the west' mean?

Mo Qi frowned: "Is the sun in the west referring to General Ma?"

Hu Tiehua: "Of course not. What Old Ma said was 'going to fall'. General Ma is already dead, so what else do you want? If what Old Ma said about the sun is General Ma, it shouldn't be 'in the west' The sun is setting, too."

Gong Jiu rarely agrees with Hu Tiehua: "Besides, I don't think General Ma can be described as 'the sun in the west'. Yumen is closed under his hands, and since last year, he can't even afford military pay and supplies—"

"General Ma is a good general!" Xiaoyan widened her eyes and interrupted Gong Jiu's words.

Gong Jiu looked at Xiaoyan coldly, and said mockingly: "Then why was Yumen Pass suddenly poor last year, supplies were in short supply, and military pay could not be paid? The tax of the common people has almost doubled, don't you have any resentment in your heart? "

Xiaoyan's expression remained firm: "It must be that General Ma has his reasons! We people in Yumen Pass grew up under the protection of General Ma. If it wasn't for General Ma, we would have died long ago!"

Xiaoyan said seriously: "Could it be that a person has protected us wholeheartedly for decades, but because of this short year of crisis, without knowing the truth, we want to destroy our trust in him, question him, and even Slander him after death?" At this point, a trace of indignation appeared on the honest face of the young soldier.

Not only Xiaoyan, but other soldiers also had the same expression on their faces.

This attitude was too consistent, and it seemed a little strange to look at the angry faces.

Hu Tiehua couldn't help but whispered in Mo Qi's ear, "It's like being brainwashed."

Xiaoyan met Gong Jiu's joyful and angry eyes, and said more.

A low but loud horn sounded from the top of the city.

"Ugh——"

The sun had not yet set, and the golden-red disc was only covered by a little corner on the other side of the desert. The army of the Liao Kingdom had already arrived at the border before the expected time.

Gong Jiu got up with a flick of his sleeves, stood on the top of the city wall and looked into the distance. Not a thousand meters away, a Liao army of about [-] people was in order and lined up neatly.In the yellow sand all over the sky, the snow-white jade flag inlaid with yellow patterns is fluttering against the wind.

The Liao army did not move forward, but a general riding a high jade white horse walked out from the queue, followed by two soldiers, leading another horse, which seemed to be carrying something on its back.

Gong Jiu's eyes moved: "The fifth corpse."

"What?" Hu Tiehua jumped onto the edge of the wall and looked in the direction of the Liao army.

The general on a high horse had already walked slowly to the front of the city wall. When the soldiers were ready to face him and knocked him off the horse, he suddenly took off the spear behind him and took off his waist. The sword in the middle was thrown to the ground with a pounce.

The general opened his hands, showing a non-hostile and friendly gesture, but his eyes seemed to be provocative, and he looked straight at the young man in white who was surrounded by the front of the crowd on the city wall like a sword.

Lin Qi almost lost his voice: "It's him, it's Yelu Ruyu!"

The seventh prince of the Liao Kingdom was not born like his father and king.He is well-proportioned and slender, with just the right muscles, but in the Liao Kingdom, he might be a little thinner.But it happened that such a Seventh Prince used his own strength to play the "invincible" jade flag. He had the upper hand in many wars with Xixia and had never been defeated, so that he insisted on defeating Xixia. It was only then that the alliance agreement between Xixia and Liao was concluded.

If you don't look at his identity, Yelu Ruyu can really be regarded as a handsome man.His handsomeness is different from Gong Jiu's near-inorganic perfection and Mo Qi's immortality, full of a very aggressive, lone wolf-like wildness, a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes, black and sharp, There was a hint of silver gray in the sharp and powerful eyes.

A bright red beauty mole, impartial, landed on his brow like a kiss from Luoshen, removing three points of the sinister and hostility all over his body.

Yelu Ruyu's eyes patrolled Gong Jiu's face without hesitation, and after a while, they fell on Mo Qi, turning into an inexplicable scrutiny.

Gong Jiu, who was originally indifferent, suddenly frowned vigilantly: I seem to smell the wolfish ambition of the enemy to poach corners.

Gong Jiu, who was holding Mo Qi and standing at the air outlet just now, had an ugly expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and pulled Mo Qi who was still holding Tang Yuandao behind him: "The Liao army has not handed over the letter of credence, and stepped into the border of our Great Song Dynasty for no reason. Do you intend to start a war here?"

Mo Qi lowered his head silently, and glanced at Gong Jiu's neatly tied bun with a flawless jade crown.

At some point, the winter wind blowing against Gong Jiu's hair lifted a few strands of hair from Gong Jiu's bun. After Gong Jiu pulled Mo Qi behind him, those strands of hair kept scratching Mo Qi's chin.

Mo Qi stepped back.

Yelu Ruyu's gaze on Mo Qi was pulled away by Gong Jiu's words.He twitched the corner of his mouth, and there was an inexplicable unpleasantness in his cold voice: "Why did you say that, my Liao has always been an alliance and friend with Song Dynasty, and of course I don't want to start a war."

"Then why did the Seventh Prince lead an army and step into my Song territory without a letter of state or envoy?" Gong Jiu naturally wouldn't believe Yelu Ruyu's nonsense.

Yelu Ruyu sat on a tall horse, although he lived under the city wall, he did not appear weak at all: "Why not?" He raised his eyebrows like Gong Jiu as if on purpose, and the two of them at this time The expressions were quite similar, "I'm not here to make you an envoy?"

He waved his hand back: "Your Excellency, you have to see clearly. Except for me, my soldiers and horses in Daliao are all staying safely on the border of Xixia, but they haven't even stepped into Song Dynasty."

Yelu Ruyu snorted softly, motioned to the two soldiers behind him to bring the thin horse to his side, and pointedly said: "I also brought a gift for your general. I don't know that General Ma is... Can you take it?"

The author has something to say: Yelu Ruyu: Sending corpses at the beginning, surprise or surprise.
