Dressed like a deadly enemy

In the early morning of the next day, Jun Ji urged Mu Cheng to leave the city. He had a good rest last night and looked extraordinarily energetic. Even the old brown clothes on his body couldn't hide his demeanor.

"Put on the mask quickly, the emperor will have to drive the horse hard today."

Mu Cheng held up the mask and chased after him, he turned around and took the mask, chuckled, "I don't know how many blessings my cousin accumulated in his previous life, so that the emperor can lead you a horse and drive a chariot."

"How about, let's go on horseback, one person and one horse, so I don't need to lose my life." Mu Cheng laughed loudly, and the two walked towards the stable side by side.After they picked out the horses and assembled the guards, they were waiting outside the gate of the Mu family's courtyard.

Taifu's eldest grandson was going out to hunt in the city, so the lineup would naturally not be shabby, there were hundreds of people, all young and strong soldiers in bronze armor.

A few miles out of the city, the team took another route, which happened to be different from Lu Junzhuo who was returning to the city. Junji didn't know that there was a war, he played with Mu Cheng all the way, and two hours later entered the depths of the mountains near Yaodu.

And Lu Junzhuo decided on the deployment of the war on his behalf in the main hall, and then practiced calligraphy in the Yingzhao Hall.

Although the looks of the two people are very similar, the fonts are different. In order to avoid revealing the details, Lu Junzhuo spent an afternoon checking for gaps and making up for omissions.Seeing him working so hard, Bafu was also relieved. If someone found out, his life would not be enough to kill him, so he was very obedient and almost answered every question.

When it was time to light the lanterns, the palace servants outside came to report Yun Taishi's arrival.

Yun Feitan would go to the Hall of Yingzhao every other day to give lectures on scriptures and history to the emperor. Tonight is not a day to give lectures, there should be other things.

"Mr. is tired today, why don't you take a rest early?" Lu Junzhuo performed the disciple ceremony and ordered tea and fruit to be served to the left and right.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Yun Feitan said: "The emperor arranged for today's battle very well. However, this battle is strange, and Que Ling can be regarded as a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it is not an iron wall, the Tigers have to take it. It took a lot of effort, in the past, the twelve tribes of border herds combined to attack, and they could last for a few months."

He paused for a moment, "Besides, there is no trace of other tribes after the Hu tribe. I haven't found out the reason. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy."

"Sir, if you come tonight, you must have countermeasures?"

Just now Lu Jun waved away the palace servants, there were no more waiters in the palace, he poured a cup of tea for Yun Feitan himself, then took a futon and put it opposite him, sat on it, ready to have a night chat with him by candlelight.

Yun Feitan was taken aback when he saw this, no one had ever been so close to him, and the long conversation he had planned turned into a short one, "The northern border pastoral land has always been a mess, no one accepts anyone, and now none of them are following the tiger department After death, I am afraid that Hubu was driven south by the other eleven steps."

That's why Lu Junzhuo decided on the candidates for the expedition as soon as possible. In fact, he also wanted to send someone to investigate the situation of the border herds.

"Mr. has the same thoughts as me. I heard that the Chen Department in Bianzhou is powerful and has annexed the Snake Department and the Mouse Department. The Snake Department was originally the closest to Que Ling, but I didn't expect the Tiger Department to pass them and go to Que Ling. If it wasn't for letting them rush ahead on purpose, then Hubu already has the strength to compete with Chenbu."

While talking about her own thoughts, Lu Junzhuo pointed to a sketch with her finger. Although the mountains and rivers in the picture are simple, they are also simple and clear.

Looking at the ink on the painting, it was obvious that it was painted not long ago, and Yun Feitan's doubts became even more serious. Since last night, the Son of Heaven's indifferent demeanor has undergone some subtle changes.

"Which situation does the emperor think will be true?" He looked as usual, and took a closer look secretly. Not only did the emperor's words and deeds change, but he also seemed to grow a little taller. Although he was only 17 years old, he was already as tall as himself. up.

He has a keen sense, plus he knows more about Jun Ji than anyone else, and Lu Junzhuo's temperament is far from Jun Ji's, there will always be a certain moment when the similar looks can't be concealed.

"Judging from the results of the battle, it is most likely that Hubu's family is dominant, and Chenbu can't do anything to them. If so, Que Tianque may not be able to support reinforcements."

Lu Junzhuo was a little distressed, stood up and walked around.In this era, the emphasis on going to war is more important than any dynasty. If there is no command, people will be panic. According to him, it is time to gather all the troops and leave the city today.

It took a few days for the general platform to be built.

"Sir, Yuncheng is right next to Xuancheng, so it's better for your relatives to come to Yaodu."

Lu Jun paused and said to Yun Feitan seriously.

According to the book, although the battle was won, it was a disastrous victory. Xuancheng and Yuncheng fell one after another, because Hu sent a small team to attack Chaofengcheng. In order to defend his own city, Mu Shen made a detour to stop it. Missed the opportunity to fight, although they fought back again later, but after this battle, Ercheng's vitality was seriously injured.

Yun Feitan didn't expect that the emperor would care about Yuncheng more than himself, a member of the Yun family, so he hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Thank you, the emperor, there are private guards in the minister's house, and they can still protect you for a while."

Lu Junzhuo received a salute, nodded and sighed: "Tomorrow I will be busy again."

......

Junji only returned to the city at sunset, and everyone in the team had their horses piled high with prey. Mu Cheng's horse was dragging a wooden frame with a bear corpse on it. nothing.

Pedestrians on the road were amazed when they saw it, and followed behind to whisper and discuss in low voices.

"Sure enough, the Mu family is more talented."

"That's right, the point is set up. I heard that the coach is his father."

"This time, I'm afraid I'll be promoted to a noble again after I return from meritorious service."

"..."

Mu Cheng was triumphant, his chest was straight, and he wished he had a bronze mirror to see his heroic appearance.

However, amidst the envy, there was a retort: ​​"The Mu family has always controlled the government, I really don't know what you envy."

Some people echoed: "That's right, you have to pay heavy taxes when you go to war now, everyone, don't forget that you are almost eating chaff and swallowing vegetables now."

The people in Yaodu were living a peaceful life, but if they pay taxes again, some people might have to eat wild vegetables.

Junji was a little worried when he heard this, so he rode his horse and ran to Mu Cheng, pretending to be his subordinate and whispering to him: "I don't know if your horse slave is still in Taixue, so send someone to take a look."

"Okay, I'll send someone to take a look right now." Mu Cheng summoned an ordinary-looking guard over, gave such orders in a low voice, and then with a wave of his right hand, the team speeded up, and they arrived at the Mu family's courtyard in a blink of an eye.

Because when Mu Cheng entered the city, he sent someone back to make preparations in time. At this time, the cook from Yudong was rubbing his hands restrainedly, waiting outside the gate of the other courtyard.

Not long after, there was music in the other courtyard, and the dancer was spinning vigorously on the stage, but Jun Ji's attention was attracted by the food, and he didn't even know that Mu Cheng had gone out.
