In the official hall of Longgu City in the northwest, the courtyard was full of people at this time, all of them were ragged and thin, but with the recitation of the angel standing in the courtyard, the original panicked expression gradually turned into excitement and joy.

"....Lieutenant Feng Xuanjie, ordered to be in charge of military and horse affairs..."

After the angel finished reading, he looked at Xu Sigen, who was kneeling in front of him.

"Xu Sigen took the order."

Xu Sigen kowtowed and choked, and reached out to take it.

The people standing by him surrounded him with a bang.

"Great, great."

"Promoted again, promoted again."

Others cried excitedly.

"Are these people his relatives and friends? Hearing Xu Sigen's promotion, how could he be more excited than the person who was promoted? The onlookers asked curiously.

"No, these people are all deserters and people in Linguan Village, they have been locked up for a long time, they all thought they were going to die, this was suddenly released, and Xu Sigen was promoted again, it can be seen that he must not be able to die, so he cried happily." Someone in the know said with a smile.

The people in the field were still excited, and a group of generals walked out of the official hall.

"You dreaded death!" He shouted.

The sound was loud, and the noise was overshadowed for a moment, and the courtyard fell silent.

"You people who are afraid of death." The man repeated, as if he was afraid that everyone would not be able to hear clearly.

The faces of the happy people present who had just escaped the catastrophe turned slightly pale, and they all looked at this general.

Zhong Chengbu's gaze swept over these people, and he did not hide the contempt in his eyes.

"Now get out of the hall for me immediately." He said, "Take off your military robes and get out of Dragon Valley City with your family." Get out of the Northwest. ”

There was silence.

"Get out!" Zhong Chengbu shouted violently.

More than half of them shuddered. Hurriedly turned around and walked out with his head down.

But except for Xu Sigen and Liu Kui. There was also a man who stood still all the time.

"You, why don't you get out?" Zhong Chengbu raised his eyebrows and shouted.

"The adults didn't say anything about me, so naturally I won't get out." The man said.

Zhong Chengbu smiled and looked at him.

"Why didn't I say you?" He asked.

At this time, the person who left also quietly looked back, and some people whispered to the man, urging him to escape easily and stop provoking this fierce general.

The man remained still.

"Because, I'm not afraid of death." "Maybe it was." But not anymore. ”

The scene was quiet for a moment, Zhong Chengbu laughed, and the laughter echoed in the courtyard.

"Okay, the western thieves swept through my two villages and two forts in the previous paragraph, so if you are not afraid of death, we will go to shame." He raised his hand and said.

The soldiers and generals standing in the courtyard responded in unison.

"Shame on you!"

"Shame on you!"

First in the courtyard, then outside, the sound was endless.

The faces of the soldiers who had already reached the door were white and red, first there was one, and then two or three turned around and walked back.

"Damn. Who is afraid of death! ”

"What's so terrible about dying, dying in bed is not the same as dying on the battlefield!"

"Xu Maoxiu, they can earn back a reward when they die. Can't we still live? ”

Seeing them standing beside the man, shouting in unison, a smile appeared on Zhong Chengbu's lips.

The generals in the hall naturally heard this sound, and several of the older ones had complicated expressions.

"Sure enough, it's young people who can boost morale." Someone said.

"General Zhong is so young." Some people said slowly.

I dare to say this kind of thing so easily.

Ex-shame, disgrace caused by ex?

Jiang Wenyuan hasn't left yet, and he hasn't reached a conclusion yet, so he just ignores his feet, okay?

"It's good, and it's good, just see how you do." Someone twisted his beard and said.

On the street, the generals and soldiers kept running by, each assembling himself.

Liu Kui, who was released from the cell, only changed his clothes and ran out, without even washing his face.

Someone stopped him from behind.

Liu Kui turned his head and saw a young man riding on a horse, fully equipped on the horse, this is the equipment that only middle generals can have, look at this knife, this spear, and three bows and crossbows...

The young commander reached out and took out two and handed them over.

Liu Kui was stunned.

"This is what Fan Jianglin asked me to give you." Liu Liulang said, "One is the three-stone bow of Xu Bang Mallet, and the other is the newly configured divine arm bow of the imperial court, as for how to use it, you can go to the bow and crossbow array for advice." ”

Liu Kui took it in a daze, and without waiting for him to speak, Liuliulang rode away.

"Stop, leave the bow and arrows behind."

"What?"

"Didn't the army issue you bows and arrows? Who told you to use this? Privately equipped with equipment, chaotic military discipline, bring it to me. ”

"Phew, I haven't heard of good weapons that are not allowed to be used, and there are still people who dislike such good things as not letting the army spend money."

"Good weapons? A good weapon is a waste in your hands, bring it, I say there is it, do you dare to disobey the orders of the generals? Who dares to use such a disrespectful elder? I can't let you be servants! ”

Liu Kui clenched the bow in his hand, and his eyes fell on the other bow for a moment. What is it?

…………………………………………….

"Take the Divine Arm Bow!"

Someone shouted.

At this shout, a row of archers who had been at the gate immediately retreated, and another row of soldiers with crossbows stood up, and their bows could be seen in the daylight as they were wound.

Liu Kui, who was in the trench under the city gate, looked back and looked at the bow and crossbow placed aside.

"Isn't it a heavy crossbow?" He muttered, clenching the knife in his hand, "The imperial court has been fooled by that guy who is greedy for money and wants to be rich again?" Haven't you had enough of the lessons learned from the previous few times? ”

Before he could mutter, his whole body tensed, and his eyes were fixed on the front, where a large wave of assembled troops was slowly approaching, and the horse's hooves shook the whole ground trembling.

Liu Kui put down the knife in his hand, grabbed the bow and crossbow, and hesitated. Naturally, he picked up the bow that Xu Bangmao left for himself. Aimed ahead. Silently calculating in his heart.

Mallet, look, how can I kill a thief with your bow....

Come closer

Closer...

Again....

The rumbling drum sounded at this moment, this was the drum of the attack, Liu Kui subconsciously shot the arrow in his hand with the drum, but then he came back to his senses.

"What for?" He shouted angrily and turned his head, "Is the new kid scared silly? This fucking can shoot birds......"

His shouting stopped abruptly. Look at the arrows flying like rain overhead.

The rhythmic vibrations from under his feet suddenly became chaotic, and screams rolled like thunder in front of him.

Liu Kui stared blankly at the thieves who fell from their horses like harvested wheat and rice.

So far... So strong....

The sound of drumming continued, and the sound of bowstrings buzzing in his ears coincided, Liu Kui raised his head and looked at the seemingly uninterrupted rain of arrows above his head.

So fast... So dense ....

Liu Kui trembled, threw down the bow in his hand, grabbed the divine arm bow on the side, and stepped on the empty pedals a few times in a panic, secretly hating himself in his heart for not listening carefully to the crossbow soldier's story.

There were already cheers in my ears.

"Damn!" Liu Kui scolded hatefully, watching the approaching Fan army seem to start retreating. became more and more anxious, "Leave some for Lao Tzu!" ”

He roared and raised his bow with good arrows. Pull hard.

In Longgu City, Jiang Wenyuan has been sitting in the hall of his private house for a long time.

"Lord Jiang." Someone strode in outside the door, and his voice was a little impatient, "Can you go?" ”

Jiang Wenyuan's expression was blank.

"Wait." He said.

The man exhaled and took a few steps closer.

"What are you waiting for?" He asked.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't speak, and the hand on his lap was clenched tightly.

He doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it, God won't let him go, how can these people let him go!

"Report!"

There was a loud shout outside.

“… Great victory... General Zhong recovered two forts and three villages...."

When this shout came in, Jiang Wenyuan's face suddenly turned white, and he sat up straight suddenly, leaning forward to hear clearly.

But the shouting was gone.

Did you hear it wrong? It's an illusion, right?

The people in the house had already hurried out, and in a short time they came in again.

"Lubu Feijie, Lord Jiang, General Zhong won a big battle, and the northwest can be stabilized." He smiled and said, "You can rest assured." ”

You can rest assured....

Jiang Wenyuan sat back dejectedly, as if he had been drained of his strength.

"Is it because of the Divine Arm Bow?" He asked in a muffled voice.

The man in the room laughed.

"My lord, I said this because General Zhong commanded it properly." He said.

Jiang Wenyuan also sneered and stood up.

"Let's go." He said, raised his feet and walked into the courtyard, and stopped again, "That divine arm bow was offered by Fan Jianglin?" ”

The man smiled and nodded.

"It's Supervisor Fan." He said in an accentuated tone.

Fan Junjian.

Jiang Wenyuan felt a little funny, and he felt a little trance, and he couldn't help but look back at the courtyard.

It's been three years...

I thought I could stay longer....

How so? How did this happen?

"Don't regret it!"

The young man's voice sounded again.

Is it because they didn't check the merits and rewards of these dead soldiers in the first place? Just because of this?

"Jiang Wenyuan, don't regret it!"

Jiang Wenyuan closed his eyes, turned his head and stepped out.

When Jiang Wenyuan was still on the road, the news of the great victory in the northwest had been reported to the capital through the urgent foot, and he shouted the good news through the door and crossed the street along the way, making the market boil.

In a restaurant facing the street, Gao Lingbo couldn't help but look down and clearly saw the letter soldiers galloping by.

“… My lord, you have to be the master of our family. ”

The older and younger men in front of them were still nagging.

"My lord is so hated and slandered, and this matter has nothing to do with him..."

Gao Lingbo nodded and shook his head.

How can it be called irrelevant to him? As long as he sits in this position, he must become a thorn in the flesh of people's eyes, it is impossible to have nothing to do with it, what can be done is not to leave people with a chance to pull himself out, but Jiang Wenyuan stayed to find a chance, although this opportunity is so ridiculous to say.

The people who retired from the Jiang family. Gao Lingbo walked out slowly. Walk slowly down the stairs.

He thought of Chen Shao again. I finally affirmed that Chen Shao had really changed.

Chen Shao learned to use some calculations that were inconvenient to see, such as those methods arranged in the northwest, learned the trick of resigning from the emperor by retreating, and would also say sensational words to coax the emperor.

These are things that Chen Shao would never have done before.

When did he change, or rather, did he listen to whose changes?

Could it be... Jiangzhou stupid?

Is this Jiangzhou stupid?

It's because of a restaurant, it silently makes Liu Xiaoli's life worse than death, and now it's just a reward for a few dead soldiers, and it's not enough to force a party official to die.

What a big deal, as for it? And all this sounds incredible, others don't even dare to think about it, she not only thought about it but also did it, and it was easy and light.

This Jiangzhou fool!

"Xu Maoxiu!"

"No, no, Fan Stone is the best!"

"You know the! Among the five people in Maoyuan Mountain, Xu Bang mallet is the most exquisite! ”

The noise made Gao Lingbo stop suddenly, what?

Maoyuan Mountain? Why is it still mentioned? Is it endless? What is this Xu Maoxiu?

"Don't you know, official? An inscription has been erected in front of the tomb of the five heroes of Maoyuan Mountain. The acquaintance beside him said loudly, his eyebrows fluttering, "This Xu Mao Xiu Fan Stone, Xu Bang Mallet, Fan Sanchou, Xu Layue is the name of these five heroes..."

Listen to this acquaintance smoothly and familiarly announce the name. Gao Lingbo couldn't hide his surprise.

Why did the names of these people become so well-known?

Isn't one Maoyuan Mountain enough?

"The words on the inscription are exquisite, and now people all over the capital are flocking to see it, and those people say, saying, it is better than the words of the temple... Worthy of the best in the world..."Zhike said loudly.

No. 1 in the world!

Gao Lingbo was stunned.

Okay, good, sure enough, it's not enough to just have a Maoyuan Mountain, and sure enough, it's not enough for a group of small people in the market to tell the story, but also to keep in mind the scholars! In the end, there will be five celebrities to celebrate!

What a Jiangzhou idiot! Gao Lingbo narrowed his eyes.

“… That's it... But the people in the city are crazy...."

“… The government had to send someone to fence off the cemetery. The Cheng family also sent someone to guard the tomb, otherwise I am afraid that someone will steal it..."

“… Don't be funny. Who's going to steal someone's tombstone?"

“… Who will steal? I'll tell you, I want to steal it when I read it, not to mention those people who can't wait to guard the tombstone every day..."

"Even the county lord of Boyang went to see it in person, and I cried when I went back after reading it..."

“… Angry? ”

"What's the pleasure, it's worth it to see such an inscription in this life..."

There was a whisper in the ear, and then someone coughed softly.

Chen Bainiang couldn't help but tense up.

“… How is it better than Mrs. Chen's words? ”

“… Oh, you didn't ask in vain, how can you compare..."

"Who can't compare to whom?"

No one answered, and laughter rang out.

The laughter was louder than the answer... Embarrass.

Chen Bainiang bit her lower lip, raised her feet and walked out, walking far away, and seemed to be able to hear whispers and pointing behind her.

Fortunately, there were few idlers in the classroom palace on the eldest prince's side, so she quickly found a quiet place to stand, took out her hand from her sleeve, and unfolded a piece of paper in her hand.

Fan stone.

The three words slammed into the sight, which was dizzying.

Chen Bainiang couldn't help but close her eyes.

"I came today just to let the lady see, whether I work hard is useless, I want the lady to see if I have benefited."

"I'm benefiting."

She said that she had benefited and answered the second question.

Then the question of whether it is useless to work hard is not answered.

At that time, she stopped when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, just to ask, but she didn't dare to ask or didn't want to ask.

Now she knew why the lady didn't answer, and she knew why she didn't dare or want to ask.

Because the answer....still.

"As long as you practice more, will you be able to do as well as what the lady writes?"

"No, sometimes it's talent."

No! No! No!

Chen Bainiang clenched her hands, the paper slowly became a ball, and tears fell one by one.

"Mrs. Chen."

A voice shouted from behind him.

Chen Bainiang came back to her senses in shock, stuffed the paper ball into her sleeve, turned around while wiping her eyes busily, took a deep breath and smiled slightly.

A maid of the palace saluted her on the high steps.

"The concubine invites you." She said.

Chen Bainiang responded, raised her feet and stepped forward, walked along the road to the inner palace, and saw from a distance that there was also an inner attendant leading a woman to come slowly, she couldn't help but stand and look at the familiar figure.

She's here too...

"Who's that?"

The concubine standing on the steps asked with a slight squint, looking at the woman walking by in the distance.

"Niangniang, that's Cheng Niangzi, Your Majesty has summoned her." The palace maid said.

The concubine sighed and took a few steps forward.

"It's the disciple who can bring the dead back to life, Cheng Niangzi?" She said, a smile on her lips, "I think there is hope that King Qing's illness will be cured." ”

There was a smile on her lips, but a chill flashed in her eyes.

After dragging on for so long, making such a big move, compared with two years ago, the credit for saving King Qing at this time is the most cost-effective, right?

What a Jiangzhou idiot!
