Bai Chenghuan held the string of Buddhist beads that still had the temperature of a monk's fingers and spent days and nights in front of the Buddha, and walked away from Yuan Hui's eyes as if sleepwalking.

"Xiao Shaotang, why do I think I'm dreaming? That old monk, just let me go? He actually gave me his Buddha beads!"

Bai Chenghuan looked up at Xiao Shaotang who was waiting for her not far away, her face was full of shock and incredulity, and her stupid appearance made Xiao Shaotang laugh.

He couldn't help but reach out and pinch the bridge of her straight nose, took the string of Buddhist beads out of her hand, and threw it far away to Shao Hui, who was following her:

"That stinky monk has been pinching things in his hands for so many years, you are not allowed to wear them, just let Shao Hui keep them for you!"

While holding her hand, he muttered to himself:

"If he doesn't let you go, even if I am scolded to death by the world, I will take his life!"

Bai Chenghuan heard it clearly, but he smiled crookedly, pretending not to hear, that Yuanhui monk didn't look like a person who was afraid of death.

Yuan Hui is not afraid of death, but Song Changqing in Hangu Pass is very anxious.

Perhaps Yongchangbo was in a hurry to seize power, and it was too obvious, Zhang Qianzong was already suspicious, and he began to be wary of them, who came from the capital.

Only King Jin was happy for a while and sad for a while, and Song Changqing understood very well why.

He was happy probably because he thought that his imperial brother still trusted him, and he was sad, probably because he was going to be an enemy of the princess of King Qin.

In his previous life, King Jin was an idle vassal king all his life, he had never experienced a war, and because of the existence of Empress Xiaoyuan, he had never been suspected by the emperor.

And in this life, he is destined to go through all the ups and downs that he did not experience in his previous life.

On the night of August 30 in the fifth year of Xihe, the emperor's envoy from the capital wanted to give a banquet to King Jin and Zhang Qianzong, and rewarded the soldiers by the way.

"Although you have not been able to completely defend Yuzhou, but you have been sticking to Hangu Pass these days to fight against the traitors, I have seen it in my eyes, tonight, on behalf of the emperor, I will invite you to a banquet to express the emperor's approval, I hope you can work with us to expel the thieves!"

Under the light of the blazing bonfire, Yongchangbo picked up the wine bowl and shouted loudly to the gathered soldiers with a red face, and behind him, thousands of jars of fine wine were displayed together.

It is rare to drink alcohol in the army, let alone at this time when the war clouds are thick, those soldiers who have not smelled the fragrance of wine for a long time are suddenly ready to move, but they still restrained themselves and looked at Mr. Zhang Qian.

In their hearts, King Jin can be ignored, and they only obey Zhang Qianzong.

Mr. Zhang Qian's face was gloomy, and he didn't want to accept Yongchangbo's overtures at all, so he simply rejected Yongchangbo:

"The emperor and the uncle's heart, the lower officials already know, but the recent confrontation with the Qin army, it is the time when the bowstring is tight, and the army drinks at this time, which is really a taboo for soldiers, and please forgive the uncle, the lower officials and the generals can't drink the bowl of wine of the uncle!"

These fine wines were quietly transported into the barracks, but he didn't get any news at all! Thinking of this, Zhang Qianzong's mood was even worse!

Yongchangbo never expected that this Zhang Qian would always oppose him everywhere, and he didn't even give him any face at this time!

The idea of inviting the generals was put forward by Song Changqing, in order to integrate the Yuzhou Army and the Jizhou Army as soon as possible and bring them under their command, and Song Changqing was willing to give him this opportunity to show up, which was already very difficult, and Zhang Qian was so unpopular!

Yongchang Boqiang endured the anger in his heart, put the wine bowl on the table heavily, and shouted:

"Mr. Zhang Qian, the emperor is full of good intentions, you dare to live up to it, do you also want to follow the example of the Qin army and disobey the emperor?!"

"It is our duty to be loyal to the emperor, and I am afraid that some people will cause chaos in the army under the guise of the emperor!"

"You're spewing blood!"

Yongchangbo saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't say more, and glanced behind Mr. Zhang Qian, and immediately someone came out to persuade him:

"Mr. Qian's words are serious, and Uncle is also a good thing, but it's just a bowl of water and wine, where is it so serious?"

Zhang Qian turned back in astonishment, and saw the brothers who fought side by side with him in the past!

"Wang Laosi, what are you talking about?" Mr. Zhang Qian scolded sharply.

He couldn't believe that it was his brother who stood up and caused trouble for him at this time!

The Wu Chief, who was known as Wang Laosi, saw that Zhang Qian's eyes were wide open, and he still felt a little guilty before he got up, but when he thought of the promise that Yongchangbo gave him, this guilt immediately disappeared without a trace - he has been fighting for so many years with Zhang Qian, and now he is still a small Wu Chang, but with Yongchangbo, he can be promoted to 100 households immediately!

They live a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife, isn't it just for glory and wealth? What's more, it's just a feast, what's the big deal?

Wang Laosi deliberately ignored the trace of uneasiness in his heart, and replied stubbornly:

"Mr. Qian, you are a hero, are you afraid of even a bowl of water and wine at this time?

After speaking, he directly picked up the water and wine that had been poured on the table and drank it all!

Wang Laosi is also brave in battle on weekdays, and he is also considered to have some reputation in the Yuzhou army, at this time, as soon as he took the lead, those who were still waiting to see Zhang Qian's instructions suddenly hesitated, and someone followed and persuaded:

"Mr. Qian is too careful, the brothers have been suffering these days, and a drink can be regarded as the emperor's reward to us, a manly man, why bother with such a mother-in-law?"

On the other hand, Yongchangbo looked at Zhang Qian's face with a green face, angry and triumphant:

"Before I saw Mr. Zhang Qian, I always heard people say that Mr. Zhang Qian was heroic, but now when I see him, I know that it is better to be famous than to meet! Since Mr. Zhang Qian thinks that I have ill intentions, then this bowl of wine, Mr. Zhang Qian will not drink it!"

After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl again, and directly bypassed Mr. Zhang Qian to toast the soldiers:

"You have worked hard to protect your family and defend the country, today Lin Mou borrowed thin wine to express the emperor's condolences to you, as long as you are loyal to the country, Lin Mou will definitely report to the emperor, and in the coming day, he will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds, and add officials to you!"

Most of the people who have been working hard with Mr. Zhang Qian for so many years and can't get ahead are from ordinary people, and the people who come and go on weekdays are also ordinary people, and they have only heard of the emperor and uncle in the capital, but they have never seen it.

The emperors and magnates in the distant capital are unattainable figures for them.

Treating the aristocracy, they have the humility and awe of the little people engraved in their bones

Even useless people like King Jin, they were only dissatisfied in their hearts, and there was no disrespect on their faces.

But today is different.

Not only did they see Yongchangbo from the capital, but he also lifted them up like this and toasted them personally, which was such a rare honor for them!

These upright-minded people immediately became enthusiastic, leaving Zhang Qianzong's angry gaze behind, and they all raised their wine bowls to drink with Yongchangbo!

As long as the rough men have wine, the atmosphere suddenly becomes lively, even if Zhang Qian always has the intention to stop it, but these people are no longer under his control.

A group of military attachés ate meat and drank wine in large bowls, and after a while, they drank one by one with red faces and hot ears, and talked loudly with Yongchangbo, if anyone who didn't know looked at it, they thought that the person who had lived and died with them for many years was Yongchangbo!

Song Changqing sat quietly on the side, witnessing the carnival in front of him, and Zhang Qianzong, who was angry on the side, the smile on the corner of his lips was cold.

It's really rich and moving.

And King Jin, who was supposed to come forward with Yongchangbo, was invited to a room alone.

"Since it's fun with all the soldiers, why don't you let this king go with you?"

The noise in the distance could be heard in his ears, and King Jin felt very puzzled.

The soldier who served him food and drinks respectfully replied:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a noble status, and the uncle ordered the little one to serve alone. ”

What kind of truth is this?

King Jin got up angrily and was about to go out, but he heard the sound of the door ringing, and Song Changqing walked in.

"It's bustling over there, and if I want to find a clean place, I just happened to come to the prince. Can the prince have a chat with him for a while?"

King Jin knew Song Changqing in the past, but he was not familiar with him.

Now when I saw him coming to the door to talk to me, although I had doubts in my heart, I still patiently and politely invited him to sit down.

After all, Song Changqing is also the person sent by the imperial brother, maybe the imperial brother has some private instructions for him to pass on the word?

Who knew what Song Changqing said, but he didn't expect it at all.

"When I heard that the King of Jin was in the capital, he mistook the princess of King Qin for Empress Xiaoyuan?"

King Jin is no longer the simple-minded and transparent person he used to be, and when he heard this, he hid his surprise and raised his eyebrows:

"It's just that it was rash and capricious at that time...... How could Song Gongzi be curious about this?"

"It's because I feel that the princess of King Qin and Empress Xiaoyuan have no similarities at all, and I'm a little puzzled. ”

King Jin thought about it for a while, Song Changqing seemed to have seen Sister Cheng Huan before.

But for him and Sister Cheng Huan, Song Changqing will always be just an outsider, and there is no need for him to tell him what he feels in his heart.

King Jin replied to him very perfunctorily:

At that time, Sister Cheng Huan had just passed away, and the king was depressed, but in fact, as Song Gongzi said, there was no similarity between them. ”

Song Changqing's heart was slightly sunny, and King Jin had also changed, no longer the straightforward temper he used to have.

But that's fine.

If he is still the same child from the past, how can he withstand the darkness of the rest of his life?

He stood up and glanced at King Jin with pity.

"Then I won't bother the prince below, I wish the prince, have a good dream tonight!"

Song Changqing's tone made King Jin feel that something was strange, but he thought about it, but he didn't come up with anything wrong.

The late autumn wind blows through the night of Yuzhou, and the majestic Hangu Pass casts a shadow among the mountains.

Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang crouched in the grass, looking at the silent city tower, and there were countless figures lurking among the grass and trees behind them.

Although an agreement was reached with Song Changqing, the Qin army did not relax its vigilance at all.

They never trust their enemies unreservedly, this is their most basic criterion.

After drinking bitterly, the soldiers in Hangu Pass had already fallen into a deep sleep, and even the most sensitive scouts in the past were recalled by Yongchangbo to Hangu Pass.

"Changqing, thank you for this idea for Uncle Shi, when we return to Beijing smoothly, Uncle Shi will definitely remember your great achievements!"

Yongchangbo was also drunk, and climbed on Song Changqing's shoulder and said affectionately.

Today, he slashed Mr. Zhang Qian's face, and he was really happy in his heart!

Song Changqing frowned in disgust, looked at the pair of fat hands on his shoulders, and disdained the cold intertwining in his heart-

I still dream of returning to the capital, even if I go back, I'm afraid that I will be a prisoner!

In the end, he restrained his temper and ordered Yongchangbo to be sent back.

When the Hangu Pass was completely silent, Song Changqing found his uncle Song Wende.

"Let someone go and report to King Jin!"

King Jin has been depressed these days, and he drank wine again tonight, although he didn't have a good dream as Song Changqing said, but he also fell asleep very early.

When he was in the middle of his dream, he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, it's not good!

"What!?"

Even in a deep dream, King Jin jumped up all of a sudden, his eyes were dark, and he could barely react to what was happening:

"How could it be, how did it come in?!"

"It's too late to elaborate, Lord Wang, hurry up and go to the city tower to fight the enemy!"

The person who came to report the news, King Jin, also recognized that it was a military attache who guarded the city on weekdays, and King Jin did not doubt him, so he immediately got up and rushed out in armor!

When he sprinted all the way up to the tower, he found that something was ...... Wrong!

Except for the guards on duty every day, there is no one on the castle tower!

Where have the people gone? Why is it so quiet when a thief has invaded?

The King of Jin turned around, but saw Lu Tong hurrying over with the personal soldiers of the Jin Palace.

"Why did the prince come here alone?"

"Didn't you say they came in? Where did you just go?"

"Who is talking nonsense in front of the prince? Where is someone attacking him? The humble party was called by Song Gongzi to help, and he didn't hear that anyone attacked at all!"

King Jin looked around intently, and could only see the undulating mountains hidden between heaven and earth.

He calmed down a little and asked:

"In the middle of the night, what does Song Changqing want you to help......

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a slight sneer in the air, and King Jin and Lu Tong turned their heads at the same time.

I saw a burst of sparks on the city tower, rushing into the air, exploding high, and blooming one after another dazzling flowers in the moonlit night sky!

"It's fireworks...... Good manner, who is setting off fireworks here?" King Jin's heart was immediately enveloped by a sense of foreboding.

Lu Tong's eyes widened, and he said in horror:

"Lord Wang, this is not fireworks! This is signal smoke, someone is spreading the news to the outside of the customs!"

As if to verify Lu Tong's words, as soon as his words fell, a dull voice suddenly came from under the city tower-

It was the heavy gates that opened with a bang!

Among the mountains and grasses that were still silent just now, there were suddenly countless shouts and shouts of killing, which were swept by the night wind, which made people instantly creepy!

"Lord Wang, it's the Qin army here! They're coming! There are also people who have opened the door for them!"

Lu Tong's trembling voice was drowned out in the various sounds that gradually rose in Hangu Pass, only Yongchangbo's angry voice was particularly clear:

"Your Royal Highness the King of Jin! You did it! You actually collaborated with the enemy!"
