Chapter 37, The Clouds of War

Qin Muxue was reluctant to give up, thinking that the time was too short......

The princess smiled and held flowers in her arms......

Zhao Bing felt a little melancholy, because he was getting closer and closer to home......

As the sun sets, the slender backs of the three women slowly disappear beyond this sea of flowers, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves echoing in the valley, like a flowing ink painting, poetic, beautiful, evocative, reverie......

Chu Lianjun rode straight on the horse, and his mood was as difficult as a black horse in black clothes......

Yang Yu silently followed behind Qin Muxue, who couldn't figure it out, worried......

Huyan Xiaofeng shook his head and only cared about drinking, and he only pretended to be wine in his heart......

The three swordsmen wandered the world, each guarding the beloved woman, hiding the sword qi in their chests to penetrate Changhong, swallowing Danxia to spill blood, and time to go back to the Three Kingdoms era in a trance...... The wind is surging, the heroes are everywhere, the golden iron horse is competing with the deer, and the blood and gas are on the battlefield...... Proud, domineering, chivalrous, and courageous......

This parting was reluctant but resolute, because every short happy time forged them stronger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When night fell, the six finally arrived at the Shangguan army station. To Zhao Bing and Yang Yu's surprise, the person who came to greet them outside the gate was actually the guard general Chihu!

Chihu was thin, his hair was slightly curly, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hurriedly said goodbye after greeting the four swords of Yanmen.

"Don't mind, General Chihu came day and night, and he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights on the road, and he just arrived at Shangguan, and he heard that you were coming, so I waited here together." Red Dragon's lieutenant explained eagerly.

"The young general and the eldest lady may not know that three days ago, the Tibetan envoy secretly visited and officially informed the Western Xia Kingdom that the 200,000 troops had been assembled, and that they would attack our country by going south through Tibet in the near future. His Majesty the Emperor has issued a national war ******, which is governed by General Yang Hu and planned by the Qian Mansion. The Red Tiger was quickly transferred to Shangguan to garrison, and the Red Blood was transferred to Xiaguan to take over the defense, and the troops of the state capitals were mobilized day and night to rush to the capital. I heard that Lord Ling Zun is overworked and has fallen ill, it's good for you to come back, I have already sent the news to the Yang Mansion yesterday. "This deputy general has been under Yang Hu in the past, and he cares about the Yang family very much.

After hearing this, the sisters and brothers felt sad for a while, and the deputy general led them to the dinner arranged by the military tent, which was full of Dali specialties. In addition to what I ate at Dragon Street yesterday, there are also many new delicacies, and good wine is of course a must.

Drinking can relieve fatigue or pour out sorrows, so under the urging of Huyan Xiaofeng, the wine table began to stagger the glasses.

Qin Muxue and Xiaobai used their hands together, up and down, gobbling up and down for a while, and had already thrown the things in distress during the day out of the clouds.

Zhao Bing had no appetite, so he only ate a little casually.

"Xiaoyu, let's drink well, don't get drunk and don't return!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you!"

Yang Yu accompanied Huyan Xiaofeng to drink, and both of them seemed to be preoccupied. Yang Yu was very unhappy because Qin Muxue said some strange things, and now he heard that his father was sick, and Huyan Xiaofeng was very unhappy because his cousin was married.

Chu Lianjun asked about Dali's military situation, and the adjutant generals answered them one by one.

"The most serious problem at the moment seems to be a serious shortage of troops!" After hearing this, Chu Lianjun had a sad face, and his eyes swept over the fire-like woman.

"Since our country has always been indisputable, its military strength has always been relatively weak. The regular army only had 20,000 troops from Shangguan Longzhi, 10,000 from Xiaguan Hu's division, and 20,000 troops from General Yang Hu guarding the capital Dali, a total of 50,000 people. The army of the state capital cannot be mobilized in the short term, and the combat effectiveness is not guaranteed. In addition, the Western Xia sent many warriors to sabotage, and there began to be an undercurrent in the country, which required a large number of troops to be prepared, and the troops were really stretched and unsustainable......" The deputy general was at a loss, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you meet the black snake when you came?" “

Xiao Baixin screamed with palpitations: "Yes, yes! It almost bit me, but luckily a golden eagle flew in and caught the big black snake! “

"You're so lucky, this snake has only appeared in Shangguan in the past few days, and all the soldiers who were bitten were poisoned to death. There has never been such a black snake in our country before, and I heard that the Western Xia warriors like to raise poisonous snakes, so they must have brought them from the smuggling of the country. “

Qin Muxue's eyebrows were shocked, and she hurriedly asked, "What kind of eagle is it, why didn't I see it?" “

Yang Yu quietly shushed her and said, "...... You were sleeping at that time. “

Xiaobai stared at Qin Muxue, looked at her with angry eyes, and said aggressively: "Oh...... I also want to ask you two little ghosts, what were you doing when I was attacked by the big black snake and shouted for help? How dare you not come to my rescue! “

Yang Yu blushed shyly, and hurriedly prevaricated: "I saw Brother Feng running over, it's not a big snake, it's just a small black snake, why do you need to work hard to move the crowd." “

"Little Black Snake! It's so coarse! Xiao Bai waved his arm in front of Yang Yu and gestured.

"Don't brag, how big does it take for an eagle to catch it?" Yang Yu's eyes narrowed, not believing her nonsense at all.

At this time, Huyan Xiaofeng interjected, and his eyes swept over Qin Muxue intentionally or unintentionally, "That's a huge golden eagle that only exists in the depths of the desert, much bigger than the eagle in the Central Plains!" “

Qin Muxue was shocked: Golden eagle? Could it be that he is coming!

I thought about it again: It's impossible, he has a lot of opportunities, how could he come to such a remote place as Dali, it must be a golden eagle passing by. Am I sick after drowning today, a day of cranky thinking......

She was a little sad when she thought about it like this, she had been away from home for too long, and now seeing Yang Yu also return to her hometown, she couldn't help but miss her relatives even more.

Yang Yu thought she was too tired and wanted her to rest early, but she didn't want to, because loneliness would only make people more uncomfortable, and she would rather stay with Yang Yu.

In the face of the harsh war, Zhao Bing became worried, she frowned and said: "Now we must find the commander as soon as possible, only he can resist the Western Xia army!" “

Chu Lianjun agreed with her, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he was not good at smiling stiffly, and said, "Originally, we also came to find him, but now we can kill two birds with one stone!" “

Huyan Xiaofeng had a different opinion, and he said bluntly: "What if you find it? Will the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty agree that he will stay in Dali to help repel the enemy? “

As soon as the words fell, his arm was bitten fiercely, and he screamed in pain, only to see Xiaobai grinding his teeth and sucking blood and glaring at him viciously and said: "You are bold nonsense, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will not die without help, he is very reasonable, unlike some people who only drink a day, and they are not as reliable as a golden eagle!" “

Huyan Xiaofeng was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only continue to bury his head in the drunk.

"My uncle must have turned back to Kaifeng Mansion to ask for help, and now we can only rely on ourselves to find Brother Zhang, where should we start? It's nerve-wracking! Yang Yu pouted and tangled.

"Come to my house tomorrow to understand the current situation, and then think about it in the long run!" Zhao Bing was originally an anxious child, but now she has calmed down, because she understands how the top priority is to resist the enemy, and whether she can find Zhang Qing or not is not so important.

At this time, the deputy general couldn't wait to interject and said: "You can rest assured, no matter how big or small the Dali country is, there is nothing that the Yang Mansion and the Qian Mansion don't know!" “

Qin Muxue asked curiously, "...... What is the origin of this money house? “

"Dali people only know that the owner of the Qian Mansion is called Qian Wuqi, he came to Dali City twenty years ago, has been living in a simple and mysterious place, every time he goes out, he will take a black sedan chair, and I am afraid that only the king of Dali and my Abba have seen his appearance in the entire Dali country......" Yang Yu's tone was quiet, with an expression that tried to recall but couldn't remember anything.

The adjutant general whispered: "There are rumors in the capital of Dali...... It was said that the target of the Western Xia army to the south this time was the Qian Mansion, and many ministers advised them to hand over the money without cutting down to quell the fighting, which was resolutely opposed by His Majesty the Emperor and General Yang Hu. I also heard that Qian Wuqi was attacked on the street yesterday, and the other party was a Western Xia master, and suddenly he made a move and disappeared suddenly, two of the four palanquin men in the Qian Mansion died, and one was seriously injured......"

Huyan Xiaofeng interrupted him and asked, "What kind of weapon did the Western Xia killer use?" “

"I heard it's a poisonous iron claw!"

"Night cat! He's finally reappeared! Chu Lianjun's eyes erupted with anger, "...... Qian Wuxian is okay with him, right? “

"It should be fine, it seems that the killer was injured by him."

Huyan Xiaofeng drank silently, and there were bursts of fierce light in his eyes......

In the middle of the night, a group of ghosts appeared in the sea of flowers in Shangguan.

At the foot of a hidden mountain, there was a faint flash of fire, and a huge golden eagle stood beside the fire, sleeping with its eyes closed.

A tall man turned his back to the fire and asked a thin middle-aged man: "So, the night cat has already made a move on Qian Wuxian!" “

"Yes, the money is fine, the night cat is injured."

“…… Then, he must be a white flame! “

"This can be determined, his subordinates were present when the night cat attacked, and although Qian Wushu sat in the sedan chair and did not show up, I still remember his shot."

"I didn't participate in Brother Bai's slaughter of the king because of my concubine, which was a lifelong regret, but unfortunately in the end...... Alas! What do you think about the southward movement of the Western Xia army? “

"The king of Western Xia sent a letter to the king of Dali to hand over the white flame was refused, and he was angry and raised troops to take revenge, according to the action of the Yanmen Four Swords and his party going straight to Dali, Zhang Qing, the general of the Great Song Town, must be in Dali...... In advance, he used the revenge of the king of Western Xia to kill Bai Liehuo and Zhang Qing in one fell swoop, and such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone may come from the Great Song Dynasty. “

"You mean Liu Xiangjie or Wang Song, or the two of them conspired!"

"The subordinates are just guesses, and there is no real evidence."

"I came this time because I heard that Zhang Qing knew a secret about the Baifu case back then...... My identity is special, and everything depends on you. “

"If your subordinates obey the order, you must find Zhang Qing!"

"Besides, Miss, you don't have to know I'm coming!"
