368, shocking news

The young people in the fight finally came back to their senses, and when they saw Xue Zhen, who was angry and holding a soft whip, they all felt a little weak in their hearts.

Xue Bin also came back to his senses, and looked at his father and didn't dare to speak for a while.

Xue Zhen walked over quickly and looked coldly at the group of young people in front of him. They are all people in their twenties and under thirty, and they are all the future elites and hopes of the army. But now, they are all covered with blue noses and swollen faces, which are worse than the most ordinary soldiers in the army.

Xue Zhen sneered and said, "Are you all capable?" Dare to fight in a group on the street? Why don't you just find a place where no one is and just kill you? ”

The young people lowered their heads one after another, a little embarrassed under the general's knowing gaze. Xue Zhen glanced at Chen Xu, who was standing on the side, a little messy but much better than others, and said angrily: "You are also messing around with them?" It seems that he hasn't been whipped by Chen Yu for many years, right? Why don't you give your father a few whips first? ”

The generals in the army, regardless of whether they are fierce generals or Confucian generals, are not truly gentle. Even the means of teaching his son are similar, and the most important difference is whether it is a whip or a board. Chen Xuan said that he would rather be beaten by the board.

"The end will know the wrong ......"

Next to him, Xue Bin angrily pulled Chen Yu away and shouted, "What is wrong?" It's not our fault in the first place! Those bastards are clearly underwhelming when they find something to do on their own, what's wrong with the little masters fulfilling them? ”

Xue Zhen was immediately angry, and this began to divide us and them. Did this bastard kid forget, he's still in them as a father.

"General Xue." On the side of the street, Nangong Xu, who had finished pacifying the shopkeeper of the teahouse, strolled over. Seeing Nangong Xu, the look on Xue Zhen's face eased. Nangong Xu is Nangong Mo's elder brother, and his influence in the Chenzhou army is only below Wei Gongzi, which can be compared with Lin Changfeng. Even, if you talk about leading the troops to fight, Lin Changfeng is afraid that he is not as good as Nangong Xu. Xue Zhen naturally couldn't be as unkind to him as he was to these young generals below.

"Nangong Gongzi is also there." Xue Zhen nodded, looked at Nangong Xu's somewhat pale face and couldn't help asking, "Nangong Gongzi, is you not in good health?" ”

Nangong Xu shook his head, "It's nothing ......"

"What's nothing?" Xue Bin couldn't be angry, and said loudly: "Knowing that Nangong Gongzi is not in good health, those bastards still deliberately came to find fault?" If you lose a war, you bully others in private and your health is not good, why don't you compare your brains with others? General Xue is really a good commander of the army! ”

"......" is a bastard thing, but he has become more and more daring after a few years, and even his own father dares to sneer. Being despised by his son who has never liked to use his brains is not good for his subordinates, and Xue Zhen's face is also very ugly.

Xue Bin has never been a person who knows how to accept when he sees a good thing, and when he saw that his father was speechless, he became more and more proud. opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Nangong Xu beside him without a trace. Nangong Xu said indifferently: "It's just a little misunderstanding, and I ask General Xue to forgive me." ”

Glancing at his subordinates who lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, where could Xue Zhen not know who made trouble first. If you don't take care of yourself, where can you still make trouble with others, nodded, and said: "Nangong Gongzi is polite, it doesn't hurt if the old man disciplines him." He glared at everyone present fiercely, and said coldly: "Go back and get a hundred military sticks each!" ”

The young people who were still fighting high suddenly wilted. A hundred boards, even if they are in good health, are enough for them to not get up for half a month.

Xue Bin suddenly became happy, and looked at the generals opposite. But Nangong Xu glanced at him and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to be beaten, shut up." ”

Xue Bin opened his mouth, but finally touched his nose and closed his mouth.

Pity...

"And Xue Bin, you also have a hundred military sticks!" Xue Zhen's voice sounded not far away.

"Why?! I'm not from Youzhou Wei! Xue Bin shouted disconvinced.

Xue Zhen sneered, "Just because I am your son!" ”

“……”

Xue Bin looked at Nangong Xu and Chen Yu pitifully, and the two of them had to sigh in their hearts and look away apologetically.

In this world, even the emperor can't control Lao Tzu to beat his son.

"General Xue, what's wrong?" Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo came hand in hand, and they couldn't help but laugh when they saw a group of young people with their heads bowed. Xue Zhen was ashamed, sighed and arched his hand towards Wei Junmo: "It's okay for the kid under him to discipline him, he has a conflict with the people under Wei Gongzi, and I hope Gongzi will forgive me." ”

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yu who was standing on the side. Chen Yu hurriedly told what happened, but he didn't favor his own people or add fuel and vinegar, and people on both sides had no opinions. Wei Junmo nodded and said, "Since General Xue has already been punished." You guys... The person who does it will also have a hundred sticks per person. ”

Chen Yu's face suddenly collapsed. I didn't expect that these hundred sticks still couldn't be dodged. The eyes of asking for help looked at Nangong Mo beside Wei Junmo, and Nangong Mo smiled silently.

Xue Zhen hurriedly said: "How can this work, these boys under my hands are messing around..." ”

Wei Junmo waved his hand, "A slap doesn't make a sound." Xue Bin, are you convinced? ”

Xue Bin had a bitter face, "Convincing is convincing... But am I going to get two hundred rods? "Why is it always him who gets hurt?

Nangong Mo lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "General Xue, now that it is wartime, it is not good for so many young people to be injured." Please also ask the general to see my face and let it fall lightly. so as not to affect the harmony between the officers and men of the two armies. ”

Xue Zhen also understood that the county lord of Star City was giving himself a step, so he thought about it and nodded: "The county lord is also reasonable, then... I don't know what the county lord thinks, how to send it appropriately? ”

Nangong Mo said: "Since I can have time to fight in groups, I think it's because I'm too idle." Why don't they all go and help repair the castle tower? "After more than a month of fighting, the Yingchuan City Tower has many damages, and it needs to be repaired.

Xue Zhen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The county lord has seen it, and I haven't thanked the county lord yet." ”

Regardless of whether these young people preferred to repair the castle tower or simply take a hundred sticks, they had to thank them in unison, "Thank you Lord for your kindness." ”

Nangong Mo smiled faintly and stopped talking.

Xue Bin breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally saved a meal.

"Xue Bin, remember to get your hundred sticks." Before he could rejoice, Xue Zhen's voice sounded behind him with compassion. Xue Bin suddenly wanted to cry without tears: Dad... You're really my real father!

After bidding farewell to Xue Zhen and dismissing a group of young generals, Nangong Mo and Nangong Xu walked side by side to the mansion where they temporarily lived in the city.

Wei Junmo glanced at Nangong Xu, "Nangong Gongzi, don't you have anything to say?" "If there is no deliberate Nangong Xu in the fight between the two sides today, he will definitely not believe it. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, Nangong Xu couldn't fight if he was willing to bother a little bit.

Nangong Grand Duke looked calm, and said with a light smile: "It's nothing, I'm just... I think General Xue should be shown the current relationship between our two soldiers. ”

Nangong Mo was silent, the relationship between the soldiers of the two armies was not harmonious, and they all knew it. Not to mention the Youzhou Army and the Chenzhou Army, it is the Youzhou Army itself, and the soldiers under Xue Zhen and Chen Yu still have time to compete. This is a common thing in the army, and competing with each other is also an encouragement to the morale of soldiers. But now the relationship between the two armies is really a little excessive.

"Big brother is worried about ......"

Nangong Xu snorted lightly, raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Junmo, who was walking beside Nangong Mo, and said in a deep voice: "There is no benefit at all to getting involved in the affairs of King Yan's Mansion. You look slowly, these brothers are still making trouble. Nangong Mo smiled bitterly, "Ordinary people, even fighting for property can make you die, not to mention ......" Not to mention the throne of the Yan Palace, even... It may be the world of the future.

Wei Junmo said in a deep voice: "I will solve it." Flawless, I'll go and go back. ”

Nangong Mo grabbed him with some concern, "Don't be impulsive." ”

Wei Gongzi raised his eyebrows, "I didn't have to be impulsive. ”

Nangong Mo sighed, "Okay, let's do it." ”

Wei Junmo nodded, turned around and left.

Looking at his departing back, Nangong Xu said, "He plans to warn Xiao Qianwei?" Did you find it useful? ”

Nangong Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's useful for a short time, but as for the method that works forever... Even His Royal Highness King Yan himself can't think of it, no... From ancient times to the present, no one has thought of it. You can't kill him, can you? ”

Nangong Xu said: "Xiao Qianwei is not a broad-minded person. ”

Nangong Mo sneered, "I know that eldest brother is worried about us, but... You're thinking too much. If nothing else, in twenty or thirty years, Xiao Qianwei will not have any impact on us. If, in addition to the accident... Do you really think Jun Mo has a deep cousinship with Xiao Qianwei? "This accident naturally refers to King Yan. As long as King Yan is still there, it is useless for Xiao Qianwei to do whatever he wants. If King Yan is gone, how much can Wei Junmo really care about Xiao Qianwei's three brothers? From beginning to end, cousins who haven't really gotten along for more than half a year. It's really compared, I'm afraid that even the three Wei Junbo brothers in the Jingjiang County Mansion are a little inferior, right? Whether it's love or hate, at least those guys have really been together for more than 20 years.

Nangong Xu raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I am overly worried." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, "No, it's okay for the eldest brother to spread the matter out in front of General Xue, so as not to cause trouble if there is any problem in the future when there is a war." In fact, General Xue may not be unaware of the problem, but he can't say anything if nothing happens. Although the military power is in his hands, after all... Those two are the biological sons of King Yan. "It's not just Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianchi who think far ahead. But in Nangong Mo's opinion, these people are just afraid that they are thinking too far. You must know that King Yan is not yet fifty years old, and it is no surprise that he still has at least ten or twenty years to live.

Nangong Xu nodded, Xue Zhen is not easy, and now the chaos hidden in the army is no wonder to him.

In a study on the other side, Xiao Qianwei sat behind the bookcase with a solemn expression. After several years of experience on the battlefield, Xiao Qianwei's eyebrows have become a little more resolute and sharp, and when he is expressionless, he looks five points similar to King Yan. However, compared to King Yan's heroism, Xiao Qianwei is much gentler.

"Second son, this time in the attack on Yingchuan City, the credit was robbed by Wei Gongzi's people. Shall we just leave it at that? Below, a middle-aged general frowned.

Xiao Qianwei raised his head and said lightly: "Otherwise, what else?" If it weren't for the assistance of the Chenzhou Army, we might have been defeated now. ”

Everyone knows the truth, but the discomfort in the heart cannot be dissipated by understanding the reason. Three years ago, Wei Gongzi led 20,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the pass, and two years ago, Wei Gongzi led Tainingwei to seize a large area of land south of Xizhou in less than half a year and gained a firm foothold. And now, Wei Gongzi led a group of rabble who had never been on the battlefield to easily relieve the siege of Yingchuan and capture Yongkang Hou Tangzeng alive. This son looked at the cold and unkind words, but every time he made a move, he could only make people feel amazing. It can be said that Wei Gongzi's beautiful resume in leading the troops is enviable-dozens of battles of all sizes, and he has not tasted defeat.

Such a young man who is not yet ready to stand will be overshadowed by all the generals in this world.

Xiao Qianwei's words made the faces of several generals present even more difficult to look at, as if he was saying again, "If it weren't for your incompetence, how could you let Wei Junmo take the credit"?

A middle-aged man who looked like a staff member sitting on the side also sighed and said in a low voice: "The prince has always valued Wei Gongzi, and this time Wei Gongzi has made a great contribution. Second son... In the long run, not only you, but also the three sons will not be able to say anything in front of the prince. ”

Xiao Qianwei lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Father and King have valued cousins for a long time, but... In any case, we can't go beyond the eldest brother and our brothers. ”

The staff shook his head and said, "Originally, it was the best choice for us and Wei Gongzi not to enter the river, but... This is when Wei Gongzi is far away from us. Now like this, Gongzi, with all due respect to his subordinates, I am afraid that even if he hits Jinling, the great credit will still be Gongzi Wei's. ”

Xiao Qianwei was obviously a little irritable, stood up and walked around the study, and said a little anxiously: "Father values my cousin, if I have a bad relationship with my cousin, it will be cheaper......" In the end, Xiao Qianwei swallowed back, but everyone present understood who he was referring to. He didn't want to have a bad relationship with his cousin, but now, it was obvious that his cousin was blocking his way.

With a long sigh, Xiao Qianwei waved his hand and said, "That's it, this matter will be put aside for the time being." Let's see later. Big brother, how's it going? ”

The staff said: "There are also many generals in the army who value the son of Dà, after all, he is..."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Xiao Qianwei's eyes: The eldest son, the eldest son! What else does he have but a prefect?!

"Bump!" The door was kicked open from the outside, and everyone inside was startled. Several generals immediately jumped up and looked at the door vigilantly.

At the door, Wei Junmo stood in a green robe with his hands in his hands, and glanced at the room of people inside with an indifferent expression.

Xiao Qianwei's face was embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, "Cousin, you are ......?"

Wei Junmo glanced at everyone and said coldly, "Go out." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and a general couldn't help but say, "Master Wei, what do you mean by this?" Even if you're the cousin of the second son, you can't just break in without letting someone report it, right? ”

"I'll say it." Wei Junmo frowned, his eyebrows were clear.

"Wei Gongzi is too rude!" The general said angrily.

A silver ray swept up in the study, drawing a beautiful silver rainbow. The general flashed his eyes and found that his neck was cold, and a thin stalk of software had been pressed against his neck. Xiao Qianwei was shocked, "Cousin?!" ”

"Now you know what I'm saying? Get out. Wei Jun Mo said.

"Stand down!" Xiao Qianwei hurriedly said, he didn't want to bet on whether Wei Junmo would really do it. If he really let Wei Junmo kill people, I'm afraid that he will not end well.

Although the generals were unwilling, they remembered Wei Gongzi's momentum of killing gods and ghosts on the battlefield, and finally retreated silently.

There were only two people left in the study, Xiao Qianwei and Wei Junmo, Xiao Qianwei smiled reluctantly, "Cousin, you are ......"

Wei Junmo raised his hand and sent the Sigui Sword back to his waist, looked at Xiao Qianwei coldly and said, "I don't care what you want to do, let your subordinates be more restrained." If it affects the morale of the army and the war again, I will break your hands and feet, and throw you back into your father's army. ”

"Cousin, I... I don't understand what you mean. Xiao Qianwei said with a strong smile.

Wei Junmo glanced at him deeply, but there was only indifference in his purple eyes, "You don't understand, those people under you must understand." Qianwei, it's good to have a vision. However, the road is in sight, only look into the distance, and be careful of falling off the cliff. ”

Xiao Qianwei was silent.

Wei Junmo didn't care about him anymore, but said lightly: "Remember my words, you should know that I never joke." ”

Xiao Qianwei still didn't reply, Wei Junmo didn't care, turned around and walked out. In the study behind him, Xiao Qianwei stood alone in the room for a long time and did not move. Only the hands behind their backs trembled slightly. At that moment, Xiao Qianwei even felt that he understood Xiao Qianye a little. There are always some people in this world... Born to be enviable, extremely unable to extricate himself.

Outsiders don't know what Wei Junmo said to Xiao Qianwei, and they don't even know that Wei Junmo has looked for Xiao Qianwei. But Xue Zhen obviously felt that the generals under him were much more settled. Even Xiao Qianwei, who is good at making friends, seems to have fallen silent. Without the influence of the people above, the young people below gradually became a little bit of friendship after working hard together every day. A man's friendship is originally a fight. Originally, there was not much of a deal, but there was a rare harmony and tranquility in the army of Yingchuan City. On this day, Wei Junmo and others were sitting in the lobby discussing the direction of the next march. But a messenger came in the dust to tell a shocking bad news.

"General Xue, the prince led his troops to attack Siyang and was ambushed. Trapped in Fuyun Valley, General Chen sent someone to urgently ask for help! ”

"What?!" Xue Zhen's eyes darkened, and he knocked over the teacup on the table beside him. stood up suddenly, and pulled the letter from the soldier's hand, and sure enough, it was a letter for help written by Chen Yu himself. Obviously, the letter was written in a hurry, and even Chen Yu's handwriting in the past seemed a little messy.

Xue Zhen's face sank, and he handed the letter to Wei Junmo, who was in charge.

Wei Junmo's expression was calm, but the people sitting next to him could obviously feel that the aura around him had become much colder.

Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were also shocked, but Xue Zhen and Wei Junmo didn't speak, and the two could only endure the shock and worry in their hearts. Xiao Qianchi held the handrail beside him tightly with one hand, and his face was pale.

"Cousin, how is my father?" When Wei Junmo raised his head, Xiao Qianchi couldn't wait to ask.

Wei Junmo lowered his eyes, handed over the letter, and said, "Uncle is trapped in Fuyun Valley, and the other party obviously intends to capture him alive. ”

"What?" Xiao Qianwei gritted his teeth and said, "In case my father is ......", the consequences are unimaginable.

Nangong Mo said lightly: "Qianwei, don't be impatient. That's a good thing for us. At least, Uncle Yan Wang's life will not be in danger. "If the other party is determined to kill King Yan immediately, it will be a disaster for them. If you really want to kill someone, how can you not die? And King Yan's life is obviously worth any price the other party pays.

Wei Junmo said in a deep voice: "General Xue, Yingchuan is going to trouble you." ”

Xue Zhen nodded heavily, "What do you have plans for Master Wei, just give me the order." Lao Xue has absolutely no words! ”

Wei Junmo shook his head, "Yingchuan must be careful to defend against the enemy's counterattack. I and Wufang took people first, and the rest of the people, Nangong Xu, rushed to Pengcheng with all their might. ”

"Cousin, I'll go too!"

"Cousin, I'll go with you too!"

The two voices sounded in unison, Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei both got up and looked at Wei Junmo firmly.

Wei Junmo frowned slightly and looked at Xue Zhen. Xiao Qianchi and the others are nominally Xue Zhen's subordinates, so it is naturally decided by Xue Zhen. At this time, how dare Xue Zhen say no? On the other hand, he really wanted to kick the two brothers out of his army. He nodded without hesitation.

Wei Junmo nodded, "You guys are with Nangong Xu." Nangong? ”

Nangong Xu nodded indifferently in agreement.

Wei Junmo didn't hesitate, and casually ripped off a token and threw it to Nangong Xu. It was the talisman of the Chenzhou army, and he turned around and said, "Flawless, Lin Changfeng, let's go." ”

Lin Changfeng didn't say much, and got up directly, "Yes!" ”

Out of the lobby, Nangong Mo Fang held Wei Junmo's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yan Wang's Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." ”

Wei Junmo nodded, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, "Flawless ......"

Nangong Mo knew that his heart would not be calm at this time, so he raised his hand and patted his vest comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I will be with you." ”

The group hurried up, and rushed in the direction of Pengcheng without a moment's delay. Pengcheng is more than 600 miles away from Yingchuan, and the group rode the best fast horses in the army, and almost even the horses ran to death without stopping, and only arrived at a place dozens of miles away from Pengcheng at noon the next day.

"Jun Mo, shall we go to the army first or go directly to Siyang?" Tightening the reins, Nangong Mo asked. didn't close his eyes all night, and Nangong Mo's spirit was also a little bad. Wei Junmo looked at her, his cold expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You go to fight Chen Yu first, and I'll go to Siyang to have a look." Take them with you. ”

Behind the two guards behind them were two people helping behind their horses. It's just that after the bumps of this day and night, the two of them were already haggard and only half a breath left. These two people are Wei Hongfei, who was captured two years ago, and Yongkang Hou Tangzeng, who was captured not long ago.

Nangong Mo frowned, and Wei Junmo said: "The Youzhou army has been trapped in Pengcheng for many days before, even if my uncle is ambushed and trapped now, Chen Yu will not mess up." Withdrawing troops now will only make Pengcheng's soldiers and horses rush out and make the Youzhou army even more chaotic. Therefore, Chen Yu must still be in the army now. You first ask him what the situation is. Looking at Nangong Mo's beautiful face, Wei Junmo's voice softened a little, "Take a good rest and come to Siyang to join us again." ”

Nangong Mo sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that his heart must be heavy at this time, so he didn't say more. Nodding his head, he said, "Well, be careful yourself!" ”

Wei Junmo nodded, and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly changed, and he raised his hand and slapped a little towards a tree beside him. I was shooting towards the woods on the side with a sharp momentum from the branch that I was going to do. Soon, a dull sound of objects falling to the ground was heard in the woods, and Lin Changfeng and the others immediately drew their weapons and stood on guard.

A group of men in black poured out of the woods and surrounded the group.

Wei Junmo's cold eyes were sharp, "After two years, Xiao Qianye still hasn't made any progress. ”

The man in black didn't say a word, and rushed towards Wei Junmo and the others.

Wei Junmo jumped up. The Sigui sword is in his hand, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, and blood is splashing.

Nangong Mo was also not polite, the dagger in his hand appeared from time to time, and the body was ruthless and ruthless.

Lin Changfeng sighed and raised his hand to shoot a signal into the air. In a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling could be heard in the distance. I saw a group of men in black riding fast horses rushing into the melee. Each one of them is skillful and ruthless. It's like the killer of Zixiao Palace.

"Why are you ......," the assassin exclaimed, shocked.

Lin Changfeng sneered and said lazily: "Probably because of the traps, right?" With such a good opportunity, how can those villains who always like to hide in the dark and sneak attack do nothing? A clean sword slashed through the assassin's neck, and the boy turned around and took out a sneak attack with another sword.

Wei Junmo said in a deep voice: "Flawless, take someone to go first." ”

Nangong Mo nodded, threw down a word of caution, and turned over on the horse. Escorted by a group of guards, he rushed out of the woods. In the woods behind him, there was still a scuffle. The strong smell of blood made the birds and beasts in the forest restless, and they fled far away and did not dare to look back.

Nangong Mo rode his horse all the way, and after half an hour, he could already see the camp of the Youzhou army. Sure enough, as Wei Junmo said, although King Yan was besieged and trapped, Chen Yu was quite stable in the army, and he did not fall into the chaos of the dragons without a leader.

The group was stopped before they arrived at the gate of the camp, and Nangong Mo raised his voice and said, "I'm Nangong Mo, is General Chen here?" ”

Before Nangong Mo's words fell, he saw a figure running out of the camp and said loudly: "Lord of Star City, you have finally arrived!" ”

Nangong Mo fixed his eyes and saw that although the person who came was wearing a battle robe, it was still difficult to describe the gentle temperament of a scholar. It's just that at this time, his eyes are red, his expression is tired, and he is less calm and relaxed than in the past, who is not Chen Yu?
