Northern Xinjiang, Tongyuan Inn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Yu and his guards chartered several wings in the backyard of the inn, which were connected to the entire quiet and quiet courtyard, isolated from the front guest rooms that came and went.

There is a towering and luxuriant plane tree in the courtyard, the dense branches and leaves block the scorching summer sun, and under the shade of the tree is a stone table, Zhou Yu is sitting at the table in a light robe, and the subordinates standing on one side are reporting to him the great changes that have taken place in the Holy Capital City in recent days.

The summer breeze was gentle, mixed with the scent of grass and flowers blowing through his nose, Zhou Yu looked at the mottled shadows of the trees, squinted his eyes drunkly, waved his hands and waved his subordinates away, and he walked leisurely in the courtyard.

He never dared to underestimate Li Mu, at that time, he planned to avoid southern Xinjiang, and before leaving, he took great pains to protect the Praetorian Guards that he had been operating for many years. Judging from the news from his subordinate intelligence network, Li Mu subdued the rebels, or it was simply Li Mu's privately raised soldiers and horses, and there was another group of men and horses with artillery to support and assist when attacking the palace, which made him think of the group of men and horses who attacked the west with the sound of artillery when the rebels attacked the city, and they thought it was the same group. Judging from the elusive swift actions of those people, it can be seen that they are hiding on the outskirts of the Holy Capital, with such powerful artillery that even the Imperial Forest Army does not have, what kind of organization is it? Why do you want to help Li Mu?

Could it be that it was really the private soldiers and firearms left by the emperor to Li Mu?

Unexpectedly, only a few days after he left, Li Mu became the regent, if it weren't for those old ministers who stopped him on the grounds that the emperor's edict and the crown prince were still alive, I am afraid that Li Mu would really ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Zhou Yu paced, wondering whether he should take advantage of the fact that Li Muchu's foundation for power was not yet stable.

Counting the days, it will be Zhou Xiu's 'delivery period' in more than two months, and it is time to make a move after planning for so long.

Just as Zhou Yu stopped under the wall and looked down at the ants crawling slowly on the yellow-brown dirt ground, a black shadow flashed at the archway, and a Tsing Yi guard walked quickly behind Zhou Yu and said respectfully, "My lord, there is news from the secret guard." ”

Zhou Yu's gaze moved with the black spots under his feet, and he didn't look back," he said. ”

"Xiangongzi ......" the Tsing Yi guard was a little hesitant, "I was attacked on the way to the northern Xinjiang......"

The long body shook suddenly, suddenly raised his head and turned around, his eyes were sharp and he looked at the person, and his voice was as cold as winter ice in an instant, "How is the person?" ”

The Tsing Yi guard lowered his head and said bitterly, "Falling off the cliff, there is more luck and less luck." ”

Zhou Yuru was struck by lightning, his face turned pale, he pursed his thin lips, only to feel a fishy heat rushing in his lungs, he gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the hot blood that surged to his throat, and said word by word, "If you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, send people down the cliff to find them." ”

"Yes, sir." The Tsing Yi guard clenched his fists and took the order, turned around and strode away.

Burst!

It wasn't until the Tsing Yi guard walked away that Zhou Yu spit out a mouthful of blood, pressed his chest, raised his hand to wipe the bright red from the corner of his lips, and summoned his subordinates.

"Take my token to the barracks to find my father, order 50,000 troops to return to Beijing with me, and the army will be drawn in three days."

"Your Excellency." The middle-aged subordinate was shocked when he heard this, and said quite disapprovingly, "The situation in Beijing is unstable, and the 100,000 southern army is about to arrive in Beijing, so it is not appropriate to return to Beijing at this time, it is better to wait until ......."

The unfinished words speak for themselves.

The Southern Army has been in a safe corner for nearly eight years, and it is really hard to say what the idea of returning to the holy capital at this juncture is to return to the holy capital. Back then, General Feiying was deceived by the abolished emperor to return to the holy capital, and he was assassinated and ambushed all the way, but he failed to take Feng Xuanxiao's life, if it wasn't for the rescue of the former queen and the prince trapped in the palace, he would not have been burned to death in Fengyi Palace. After Feng Xuanxiao's death, the 100,000 southern army under his command had a move to raise troops to fight to avenge the commander-in-chief, but was suppressed by the northern army and the imperial forest army, and then the deputy marshal of the southern army reached a condition with the imperial court, which was calmed down.

Now that they have returned to Beijing after the deposed emperor has lost power, do they want to rehabilitate the Feng family, or do they plan to find him and support him to succeed him when they hear that the prince is alive?

Judging from the development of the situation, it is really not appropriate to go back to wade into troubled waters at this time, so let Li Mu and the 100,000 Southern Army fight first, the strength of the two sides is equal, and it is difficult to say who will win or lose.

But what is certain is that no matter which side wins or loses, it will be beneficial and harmless to the Northern Army.

If Zhou Xian hadn't had an accident, Zhou Yu really planned to sit and watch the tiger fight, but when he heard the bad news, his whole heart was upset, worried, sad, angry, and hateful...... For a while, all kinds of tastes came to my heart, and I vomited blood in anger.

"Wait?" A cold light burst out of his dark eyes, and Zhou Yu swallowed the sweet blood in his throat, "Following other people's buttocks can only pick up scraps and cold slag, and don't enter the tiger's den to get the tiger, the mudier the water is this time, the better, so that you can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, right?" ”

The middle-aged subordinates of "......" were speechless, and he became more and more unable to guess the thoughts of adults.

※※※

Late at night, Rui Wang's Mansion, no, it's already the Regent's Palace.

The night was bright and the stars were scarce, Mu Ruolan had no sleep, she put on a tulle coat and scattered in the courtyard, she looked up at the vast night full of stars, and a soft smile appeared on her plain and fair face.

Li Mu became the regent, it seems that things are going more smoothly than imagined, after this battle, the existence of artillery has been completely exposed, and it is only a matter of time before Mingyue Villa is involved.

With the means and abilities of the Dark Wing, it should not be difficult to retreat with the whole body, and the worst thing is to abandon the Bright Moon Villa that has occupied it for many years.

A gust of wind rose, and the stone lamp beside him flickered slightly, and suddenly went out, and the surroundings were instantly dark.

Mu Ruolan raised her eyebrows, turned around and walked quickly into the bedroom, closed the door and plugged in the door bolt, and then walked to the bed, a black shadow flashed behind the screen, she paused in her footsteps, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Who?" Come out. ”

There was a clear laughter in the dark room, Mu Ruolan frowned, it seemed to be a little familiar, she crossed the screen, stared at the black shadow sitting on the edge of the bed, and felt that the person who came was not hostile, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked over a few steps, and saw that this person was masked, so she reached out and quickly tore off the black scarf, and exclaimed, "It's you!" ”

The young man sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs on his legs like a ruffian was strong and straight, with handsome eyebrows, a pair of obsidian eyes shining brightly, and an elegant smile on the corners of his lips.

"Hey, little girl, long time no see."

Mu Ruolan stared at him wide-eyed, "You didn't go back to the Eastern Regions?" Does that mean......

Feiying snorted, lowered his feet, and leaned back with his arms at his side, "You want to ask the master, right?" ”

Her cheeks were slightly hot, Mu Ruolan raised her leg and kicked on his calf, approached him with a smile, and said mischievously, "Your master is beautiful in her arms, how can you remember me, the former 'favorite concubine', I am really happy to see Uncle Feiying, I will forget a very important thing if you don't appear!" ”

"What?" Flying Shadow leaned back, avoiding her sultry aura, with a bad premonition.

Mu Ruolan smiled and came closer, "You are my life-saving benefactor, the little woman has nothing to repay, and she promised to promise you personally." ”
