After leaving the Heartfelt Restaurant, Lian Mu has been thinking about what Qianyu Fenghua said. In the process, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. After thinking about it, Lian Mu decided to go directly to the archive room on the second floor of Yao Pavilion to find the secret scroll that Qianyu Fenghua said, so as to verify whether what she said was true or false.

As a result, until Tianming, Lian Mu did not find what he was looking for. This made him wonder if Qianyu Fenghua was deliberately deceiving him from the Heartfelt Restaurant, so he deliberately weaved this lie.

Just as Lian Mu was about to leave the archives, Zhao Ming, the "deacon" of the Frost Sword Law Division who was in charge of managing the place, happened to collide with Lian Mu. Subsequently, Lian Mu asked Zhao Ming about this secret scroll. After all, he is the person in charge of this archive, and whether there has been this secret scroll here, Zhao Ming must know best.

Zhao Ming said: "I haven't seen it." ”

Lian Mu frowned: "Really." ”

Zhao Ming sincerely: "Really. ”

Lian Mu sighed and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to leave. Looking at the back of Lian Mu leaving, Zhao Ming's solemn expression always felt a little unsteady, so he hurriedly wrote a letter after returning to the archives, and asked another frost sword to send the letter to Liufu quickly.

Perhaps because he hadn't slept all night, the tired Lian Mu forgot what Qianyu Fenghua had said, Liu Su knew the whole story, and it was because of this that he agreed to Han Bin to let the clan take charge of the Law Division. And now, the archives on the second floor of the Yao Pavilion are under the management of the sect's minions of the Sect Office, and Lian Mu's question is equivalent to telling Liu Su that he already knows about it.

After reading the letter written by Zhao Ming, Liu Su's brows became solemn. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Su called his eldest son Liu Fengchen, and he didn't know what to say. Liu Fengchen listened, looked solemn, and bowed back.

For the next whole day, Liu Fengchen sat silently in the hall of the Heartfelt Restaurant, drinking tea indifferently. After seeing Liu Fengchen, Shopkeeper He basically guessed the purpose of his trip, so he hurriedly refunded the few tables of banquets that the guests had booked with him in the evening, and asked Xiao Er to double the deposit.

After Duan Nian saw this personable son appear in the Heartfelt Restaurant, he immediately felt that something was wrong. So he once again advised Qianyu Fenghua whether to leave here or not. After hearing this, Qianyu Fenghua came outside the house and glanced at the son in Duan Nian's mouth.

When she cast a curious glance at the crowd downstairs, she easily recognized the "Wind Knife" Liu Fengchen known as the "Liu Clan's Double Unique" at a glance. It just so happened that when she was looking at Liu Fengchen, Liu Fengchen was also looking at her. Neither of them shied away from each other at that glance.

"The day has finally come. ”

Qianyu Fenghua sighed, but this only deepened Duan Nian's worries, "Master, I guess it was the Great Commander of the Frost Sword who exposed us. It's not a good place to stay for long!"

Qianyu Fenghua sighed: "If it is really Lian Mu, it will not be this Liu Clan's "Wind Knife" Liu Fengchen who appears here, but a group of frost sword guards dressed in silver and gold light armor. ”

Duan Nian was stunned for a moment, and then turned to Qianyu Fenghua and said:

"Anyway, let's get out of here first. ”

"Today's dream country is so big. Where else can we go without Heartfelt Restaurant? The streets were full of frost swords and Chiyan warriors roaming, and the entire Bright Moon City was in the palm of the Bright Moon Liu Clan. Qianyu Fenghua narrowed her gaze, turned back to the house, and said lightly to Duan Nian, "Since we stepped into this city, some things are destined to be unavoidable. ”

Duan Nian: "Master......"

Qianyu Fenghua: "Let's do this first, and soon Lian Mu will come here again to find us." Compared to dying under Liu's sword, it is safer to be captured by the frost sword. ”

Duan Nian was helpless and sighed silently.

Downstairs, Liu Fengchen indifferently sipped the tea in his cup. His eyes were suddenly attracted by an old man in disguise in the next moment. Interestingly, after seeing Liu Fengchen looking at him, the old man did not shy away from it, but smiled with him.

At this time, Lian Mu had already returned to the accommodation and was ready to sleep. When it was getting late, he planned to go to the Heartfelt Restaurant again to visit Thousand Feather Fenghua, but just as he was about to close his eyes, a message from the Absolute Dragon Mountain Range was delivered to him.

Lian Mu, who had not slept all night, hurriedly took the letter to the palace and met Yun Ji. On the way, he rested in the carriage for a while, but he was still a little out of shape when he saw Yun Ji, but fortunately, Yun Ji didn't care.

Interestingly, Yun Ji's "not caring" made Lian Mu at this moment once again remind him of what Qianyu Fenghua said. So when he reported the news to Yun Ji, he couldn't help but be a little distracted, and re-examined and thought about himself and the beautiful lord in front of him, some bits and pieces of the past.

Thinking of this, Lian Mu seemed to suddenly understand something. For example, why when everyone opposed Lian Mu becoming the commander of the Mingguang Armor, Yun Chen ruled out for Lian Muli, and after the "Mingguang Change" occurred, he used the reason of "chasing the Chiyan Warriors" to separate himself and stay away from all the "eye of the storm" of right and wrong. And now, Yun Ji suddenly appointed him, a "wine bag and rice bag" who didn't have much management talent, and became the "big commander" of the three divisions of the frost sword.

Lian Mu began to think about it, is all this really a coincidence? Could it be that what Qianyu Fenghua said is true? If all this is true, then is Yun Ji an insider about his past?

Thinking of this, Lian Mu, who was reporting the information of the Juelong Mountain Range to Yun Ji, suddenly stopped what he was saying. Yun Ji looked at Lian Mu suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Lian Mu didn't answer Yun Ji's words, but stood in place like a stone statue, and Bu Weilan on the side poked Lian Mu, and whispered: "The lord of the country is asking you, Great Commander!"

Bu Weilan's words made Lian Mu gradually come back to his senses: "Where did I come from just now?"

"Speaking of which, there are traces of a fight at the scene. ”

Yun Ji reminded, and saw between the words that Lian Mu seemed to have something on his mind. But given the presence of Bu Weilan, he didn't ask. Lian Mu took a deep breath, and the faint fragrance of flowers went straight to his heart, and then he began to continue: "According to the information brought back by the scouts, I think that the army of the Xia Kingdom should have planned to seal this tunnel dug by the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, but in the process, it was attacked by an army of unknown origin. ”

"When did this happen?" Yun Ji listened, thoughtful, "I remember that in the information you sent earlier, there was no mention of this matter. ”

Lian Mu recalled: "It should have been yesterday, but the information was only delivered to me today." The failure of the intelligence on the Xia Division's troops to arrive in time was a dereliction of duty on the part of the intelligence personnel, who almost delayed the fighter. ”

Yun Ji pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"What have you been doing lately?"

Lian Mu was stunned for a moment, and Bu Weilan hurriedly answered:

"It is said that he disappeared again. ”

After hearing this, Yun Ji first frowned and then sighed: "That's it, who is in charge of the northern part of Frost Sword and Hanjia City now. ”

Lian Mu was stunned for a moment, and Bu Weilan said knowingly: "At present, a young man named Meng Jian is in charge of taking care of it. This piece of information about yesterday's Juelong Mountain Range was also discovered by him in time. ”

"Meng Jian?" Yun Ji looked at Lian Mu curiously, "This name is good, what is the origin of this person." You know what?"

Bu Weilan wanted to speak and stopped, and after a moment of silence, Lian Mu spoke: "Back to the lord of the country, this Meng Jian is a brother. ”

Lian Mu's words made Yun Ji frown again.

Her expression was exactly the same as that of Lian Mu when she learned that the northern part of Frost Sword Hanjiasi City was now being taken care of by Meng Jian. And Yun Ji's reaction also reminded Lian Mu of what Qianyu Fenghua said to him again. He began to wonder why Yun Ji showed such a look after learning about Meng Jian's relationship with him.

"Commander Lian even has a younger brother?"

Yun Ji looked at Lian Mu suspiciously, and Lian Mu smiled faintly: "Distant cousins, the family is in the middle of the road, so I came to run." ”

Yun Ji: "I haven't heard you mention it before?"

Lian Mu: "I only found out about it recently. ”

"If you have the opportunity to bring it into the palace, you want to have a good look at what this distant cousin of the Great Commander of the Three Divisions of the Frost Sword is like. Yun Ji smiled, Lian Mu bowed and waved his hand and said, "No." ”

Bu Weilan, who was standing on the side, felt as if he had heard something from the conversation between the two, but he couldn't say it for a while. At this time, Yun Ji brought the topic back to the matter of the Blood Tiger Rider: "Back to business, that is to say, now the army of the Xia Kingdom is divided into two routes, all the way south to support Liuyun City, and all the way west to the Juelong Mountain Range to seal the cave dug by the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, but it was attacked by an army of unknown origin and the whole army was wiped out?"

Lian Mu: "Yes. ”

Yun Ji: "So, in your opinion, where did this army that attacked the Xia Kingdom come from? ”

"First of all, there is no room to fight back against the blood tiger of the Xia Kingdom, and it will definitely not be an ordinary bandit rogue. Lian Mu sighed and said a word of nonsense. Bu Weilan coughed, and then his words said, "Weilan thinks that this army is largely from the side of the Juelong Mountain Range. ”

Yun Ji: "You mean Xiji?"

Bu Weilan: "Exactly. ”

Yun Ji paused, and then asked, "What are these Chiyan warriors doing in the city recently?"

Bu Weilan understood, and guessed that Yun Ji was suspicious that it was the Chiyan warrior who went to exterminate this blood tiger horse. In view of the past grievances between these Chiyan warriors and the Xia Kingdom, as well as the time and distance from Mingyue City to the vicinity of the Juelong Mountain Range, there is indeed a certain basis.

It's just that Bu Weilan didn't know that Yun Ji knew that these Chiyan warriors were not all real Chiyan warriors, but there were indeed real Chiyan warriors among them, and Yun Ji didn't tell Bu Weilan about this, because it involved a secret transaction between Yun Ji and Ao Chun, the lord of the Xia Kingdom.

Faced with Yun Ji's question, Bu Weilan did not answer for her. Seeing this, Lian Mu responded, "None of these Chiyan warriors have left Bright Moon City. With their heavy armor, there was no way to complete a quick round trip in such a short time. ”

Yun Ji: "Are you so sure?"

"The lord of the kingdom has forgotten that I once led my troops to arrest the exiled Chiyan warriors. Lian Mu reminded Yun Ji that he did not continue the topic, and turned around: "Now that the entire Jibei Great Snow Realm is sealed, according to the information that is currently available, the army that attacked the Xia Kingdom stationed near the Juelong Mountain Range can only be the Xiji army coming from the other side of the tunnel. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Ji seemed to remember something, and then said: "Do you know where this army that attacked the Xia Kingdom went behind?" ”

Lian Mu: "All the way south. ”

In other words, their target is most likely Dawn City or Flowing Cloud City. Yun Ji pondered, "It seems that this army is indeed very likely to come from Xiji. ”

At this time, Yun Ji unfolded a parchment map again.

This map, drawn on sheepskin, is vicissitudes and ancient. There are many details that are not found on many military maps today. But for some reason, Yun Ji didn't make a replica of the map as a sand table or a larger map, and hang it in her study.

If Yun Fan gets this map, it will be different. Check the map for problems, send someone to investigate the site, and then recreate it into a sand table, and then turn it into a new map and hang it on the wall.

The different attitudes of two people towards the same thing actually hint at their different choices in the future. Yun Ji is actually not interested in military affairs, she had to learn how to play with power in troubled times, and Yun Fan has always disliked playing with power, but fate always likes to joke with him.

After a moment of silence, everyone's eyes fell on the sheepskin map unfolded by Yun Ji. Yun Ji sighed deeply, and then asked the two, "You say, is the goal of this army really Yaoguang or Liuyun City?"

Lian Mu was puzzled, and Bu Weilan was silent.

Yun Ji hesitated: "Is it possible that the goal of them and the Thousand Thunder Kingdom is not the entire Jibei, but to try to use Yaoguang City as a turning point to try to cut off the support route of the Eastern Ji countries to Jingwei Pass?"

Bu Weilan frowned: "The lord of the country means that Jingwei Pass is their main purpose?"

Lian Mu pondered: "In fact, it is not impossible to do so. However, if we want to cut off the main road to Jingwei Pass from our Dongji side, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it without absolute troops. ”

"So, Lone needs more detailed information about this army. Yun Ji said with a solemn expression, "Only in this way can we more accurately deduce their true intentions." ”

At this time, Bu Weilan seemed to remember something, so he turned to say: "Right now, the battle of Liuyun City is about to start, and Weilan thinks that under the current situation that Jibei is still in the heavy snow sealing realm, he will not target Jingwei Pass for the time being. If Xiji's army can successfully take the entire Jibei before this snow stops, our Dongji Dynasty will be in a very passive situation at that time. ”

"Also, it doesn't mean as much to defend Yaoguang City as it does to take the entire Jibei. Although it is not realistic to take the entire Jibei, even if it is only half of Jibei, it is enough to create a rare opportunity for the Xiji Dynasty to attack Jingwei Pass again. Yun Ji said thoughtfully.

Lian Mu: "Yaoguang City can't accommodate too many people, so it's unrealistic for Xiji's army to want to squeeze into one city with the Thousand Thunder Kingdom. Although it is unrealistic for them to try to win the entire Jibei, but now Jibei has long been divided, which is also a golden opportunity for them not to be missed. ”

"It would be nice if there was more information about this Xiji army now. Yun Ji sighed, "It's also fortunate that their target is not Bright Moon City, otherwise it would be dangerous to miss so much important information." ”

Bu Weilan and Lian Mu listened, but neither spoke.

They all heard the reproach between Yun Ji's words.

Indeed, it is too dangerous for the Frost Sword, which is the blade of the country, to not be able to grasp all of it. It's like when someone comes to the pillow with a sword in his sleep, and the servant who is supposed to wake up his master is completely unaware of it.

After a suffocating silence, Yun Ji sighed: "That's it, it's no wonder that this year's snow is too big." Lone can't remember the last time he encountered such a heavy snowfall. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Ji fell into the whirlpool of memories in silence. She suddenly remembered that year, when she was a child, Blood-Eyed Frosthoof took Yun Fan, who was still in swaddling clothes, and stepped through a place of frost and snow to appear in front of her and her father Yun Chen. Then, Blood-Eyed Frosthoof went to the Northern Desert without looking back again.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-one years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

Now, Yun Fan and Blood-Eyed Frosthoof are back.

However, his father Yun Chen's life and death are still unknown.

At this time, Lian Mu, whose eyes were bloodshot, unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the bookshelf behind Yun Ji, displaying a secret scroll about the past of the Su Kingdom Clan. Lian Mu suddenly thought that the reason why he couldn't find these secrets about the Thousand Feather Clan in the Yao Pavilion was because someone had transferred all the relevant information in advance and hid it?

After thinking about it, Lian Mu was even more determined to go to the Heartfelt Restaurant again tonight to visit Qianyu Fenghua. While pondering, Yun Ji noticed the bloodshot eyes of Lian Mu, so she gathered her thoughts and said with concern: "Is it because the Great Commander has been busy with things recently, so he hasn't rested much?"

Lian Mu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said:

"It is a blessing to be able to share the worries of the lord of the country. ”

After hearing this, Yun Ji sighed: "It's also strange that Gu has been leaving Mr. Weihu in the palace during this time, resulting in many things that you can only face alone." ”

Lian Mu pretended to be panicked: "The lord of the country is serious. ”

Between the words, Yun Ji put away the sheepskin map on the table, pretended to be tired, and said slowly with the two: "Let's get here today, Mr. Weihu will also go back with the Great Commander, if there is any big thing next, Lone will contact Mr. again." ”

Bu Weilan bowed and waved his hand: "No." ”

Yun Ji looked at Lian Mu with pity: "Have a good rest after you go back, there are still many things that you need to face with Lone." ”

Lian Mu arched his hand and said, "No." ”

When the words fell, Yun Ji waved his sleeves and said:

"Stand down. ”

After hearing this, Bu Weilan and Lian Mu bowed down again, waved their hands, and slowly exited the imperial study facing Yun Ji. Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Yun Ji's gaze was deep again. It's just that this time she didn't sink into the memories of the past, but followed Lian Mu's line of sight just now, turned around and looked at the bookshelf behind her, thinking about what suddenly attracted Lian Mu's attention just now, and what was the relationship between the "distant cousin" Meng Jian in Lian Mu's mouth and Lian Mu.

She would certainly not believe the so-called "distant cousin" of Lian Mu. At this time, Pu Jia suddenly pushed open the door of Yun Ji's study and brought ginger soup to ward off the cold for her. In the process, Yun Ji asked Pu Jia about Meng Jian, but Pu Jia thought about it and told Yun Ji everything she knew.

After listening to Pu Jia's description, Yun Ji frowned slightly.

"Meng Jian......"
