379, the death of the first archer of the Northern Yuan Dynasty
Several black-clothed people glanced at each other and rushed towards Nangong Mo without saying a word. So far... Actually, there's not much more to say. It's just a final struggle. The smile on Nangong Mo's face was slightly restricted, and it was rare that he did not use his usual dagger, but drew the whip on his waist to face the enemy. In the past two years, when she had nothing to do, Nangong Mo also studied some other weapons, after all, she didn't do a killer anymore. always uses a hand-to-hand fighting method, which makes Wei Gongzi very unhappy. In the end, after learning several of them, I still felt that I liked whips more. Hengzhu She will never be able to practice peerless martial arts like Wei Gongzi, so choose one she likes to learn to play.
A long whip was thrown to the ground by Nangong Mo and flew like a spirit snake. Relying on her smart identity, even if several people besieged her, they couldn't touch her at all. On the contrary, he was whipped by her.
"Flawless, stop playing." Behind him, Wei Junmo's voice came. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and saw that Wei Gongzi was already standing on the low wall of the courtyard, and threw the thing in his hand to the ground, which was Hai Rigu's head. It was only a moment, and Hai Rigu, who was known as the number one archer of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, was powerless in front of Wei Junmo. Of course, in the case of close range, the bow and arrow against the long sword really do not have the upper hand. And Hai Rigu's strength is not even qualified to struggle in front of Wei Junmo.
As soon as the people in the Water Pavilion saw Hai Rigu's head, their hearts were shocked. Look at Wei Junmo who was standing on the wall and watching them coldly, and Nangong Mo who was playing with the long whip in his hand. There are also the soldiers of the Chenzhou Army who are eyeing them around, where can they still afford to raise half of their fighting spirit?
Nangong Mo naturally could see their despair and despair, raised his eyebrows, put away his whip, and walked aside. She has no penchant for shooting at people who have completely lost their fighting spirit, and these people will naturally have someone to deal with them. Looking up at Wei Junmo who was standing on a high place, Nangong Mo smiled and said, "Let's go." β
Wei Gongzi nodded, and suddenly fell to Nangong Mo's side, "Let's go." β
Hai Rigu's head was still in the dust to the side, and no one paid attention to it. The dusty head still had a look of horror and fear on it before death. In less than a quarter of an hour, the first archer of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who was still complacent, had become a corpse separated from each other. He will no longer see the glory and triumph he is supposed to be. Waiting for him was only the obscurity of the fall in the hinterland of Great Xia, thousands of miles away from the Northern Yuan. Perhaps, when Wei Junmo is in a good mood, he will have people send his head back to Beiyuan.
Returning to the same place with Hai Rigu's head, the people who were originally secretly dissatisfied with Wei Junmo suddenly became more low-key. However, neither Nangong Mo nor Wei Junmo cared much about this. I didn't have much to pay attention to, because Peng Cheng's side finally started fighting.
Maybe it was because of the sudden increase in soldiers and horses in the imperial court, or maybe it was really annoyed by Chen Yu. Shao Zhong and Shi Jingxiang, who had always insisted on Pengcheng, began to provoke Chen Yu frequently. Although they were trapped in Pengcheng for many days, the soldiers and horses in their hands did not actually have any losses, on the contrary, the Youzhou army lost a lot because of the previous battle of Siyang, and because of the serious injury of King Yan, the morale was somewhat affected.
Wei Junmo left Nangong Mo and Xiao Qianjiong to take care of King Yan, and took all the cadres including Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei to Pengcheng to help in the battle. Although Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei have been quite honest in the past two days, who knows if they will smoke again in the future? King Yan is now seriously injured, if he is angry, it is useless to kill these two brothers.
When Wei Junmo left with the people, the barracks immediately became much quieter. Xiao Qianjiong stretched his neck every day to ask his father for peace, or he practiced martial arts by himself, which was much easier than Xiao Qianwei and Xiao Qianchi.
Nangong Mo regularly checked King Yan's pulse every day to check King Yan's injuries. It's rare to have a quiet time after coming out of Chenzhou. It's just that King Yan's injuries occasionally recur, which scared several military doctors to do things, and Nangong Mo also took a lot of effort to save people.
In the big tent, Nangong Mo raised his head and exhaled softly.
Liu Han, who was standing beside her, immediately stepped forward and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead with a handkerchief. Several doctors were shocked and asked cautiously, "The county lord... Lord, no, it's okay, right? β
Nangong Mo smiled, glanced sideways at Xiao Qianwei, who was sitting on the side and seemed to be stunned, and said, "It's okay, don't worry." β
Hearing this, Xiao Qianjiong seemed to suddenly come to life, "Cousin-in-law, father... How could my father suddenly..."
This morning, before dawn, the military doctor who took care of his father came to tell him that the prince had a sudden high fever and fainted. It scared Xiao Qianjiong a lot.
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "The wound of the arrow in my uncle's chest is not small, and some fever is inevitable. Don't worry, it's okay already. I refilled a pair of medicines, and in general, the wound has gradually healed, and there should be no fear of life. β
Xiao Qianjiong breathed a long sigh of relief, "If something happens to my father, how can I explain to my mother and the eldest brother and second brother......" Don't look at Xiao Qianjiong's appearance of not worrying about everything, the cousin who can be the backbone of the heart is gone, and the two brothers are not there. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed to let his cousin-in-law take responsibility for a woman. So Xiao Qianjiong's spirit has been tense in the past two days.
King Yan slowly opened his eyes, although he had just escaped from danger, King Yan's spirit was much better than when he woke up two days ago. Even if he woke up two days ago, most of the time, King Yan was actually still asleep. It looks a lot better now.
King Yan moved the corners of his mouth, glanced at Xiao Qianjiong, and said, "Qianjiong... Get out first..."
Xiao Qianjiong's eyes widened, "Father!?" "He has worked so hard to guard his father for so long, and the first thing his father does when he wakes up is to kick him out, isn't it too ruthless?
King Yan frowned, "You're too noisy." β
Xiao Sangongzi was full of anger and had a loud voice. I probably didn't know what it meant to be soft-spoken. Usually, His Royal Highness King Yan naturally feels that his youngest son is heroic and energetic, but now... Standing up to Xiao Qianjiong to speak, King Yan only felt that there was something buzzing in his head.
Xiao Qianjiong blinked his eyes aggrievedly, stepped aside and covered his mouth, indicating that he would never speak again.
King Yan coughed twice, and said a little uncomfortably: "Help King Ben get up a little, and his heart is stuffy." Nangong Mo shrugged, saying that His Royal Highness King Yan's injuries should not be moved. The bed in this army is not able to move and adjust its position by itself, and artificial movement will only worsen Yan Wang's injury. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Yan is still aggrieved to lie down for two more days.
King Yan didn't bother to argue with her, Heng Zhi was the weaker one now. The people in the entire big tent, several military doctors, including Xiao Qianjiong, definitely listened to Nangong Mo's words more than their own orders.
"Jun'er... They, what's going on over there in Pengcheng? King Yan asked.
Nangong Mo looked at Xiao Qianjiong, Xiao Qianjiong blinked and didn't speak. King Yan glared at his son a little weakly, "Speak." β
Xiao Qianjiong still lowered his voice and said, "There was a battle on Pengcheng's side, and no one took advantage. Shi Jingxiang went to Yundu, he should have planned to deal with Nangong Huai first, and then turn around and cooperate with Shao Zhongli to deal with General Chen Yu and his cousin. β
King Yan frowned slightly, "Yundu... Over there in Yundu, is it Nangong Xu? β
Nangong Mo nodded, and his eyebrows were a little more worried. Even if Nangong Xu is powerful, Nangong Huai plus Shi Jingxiang, plus almost several times his own troops... Nangong Xu is there......
King Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Where is Nianyuan?" β
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Still in the army." β
Nianyuan was locked up by Chen Yu, although there was no evidence that he leaked military information, but he couldn't find evidence that it wasn't him, right? Wei Junmo had a good relationship with Nian Yuan when he was in Jinling in his early years, but after arriving in Youzhou, especially after the last incident, it was not very good. Wei Junmo didn't take the opportunity to retaliate or clean up Nianyuan, but just ignored him. As a result, Nianyuan had to be locked up in the army all the time, but he had always been very leisurely in reading books and sitting meditation every day.
Yan Wang said: "Let him go, let him go to Yundu to help." β
"What?" Before Nangong Mo could say anything, Xiao Qianjiong couldn't help jumping up first, "Father, Nian Yuan is still suspicious." Moreover, even if he did not work carefully, he could not be spared if he put his father in danger with his ideas! β
King Yan shook his head and said, "What do you want me to do... I know what I have done. Sue sΓΉ Nianyuan, the matter of Siyang, this king should be an accident, this time... Hopefully he won't let me down. β
Nangong Mo and Xiao Qianjiong glanced at each other, and had to nod in response.
King Yan said such a long time, and he was not lightly tired. With a tired look on his face, Nangong Mo immediately asked King Yan to rest first, and retreated with Xiao Qianjiong.
As soon as he left the scope of King Yan's big tent, Xiao Qianjiong immediately jumped like thunder, "Cousin-in-law, did my father get something wrong with Hai Rigu's arrow?" How can you be so light and let go of Nianyuan? Nangong Mo was much more relaxed, looked at him with a smile and said: "There is indeed no evidence to prove that this incident is related to Nian Yuan, maybe as my uncle said, it is really just an accident, and there is someone else." Could it be that you have to lock him up for the rest of your life? I remember, Nianyuan doesn't have a deep grudge against you. β
Xiao Qianjiong was speechless, and said a little depressedly: "I don't think Nianyuan is a spy, just annoying him!" Kicking the weeds on the ground a little irritably, Xiao Qianjiong said: "You say that a monk, don't you just chant the scriptures well, you have to run to stir up these things." And... I don't think Nian Yuan is a good person. β
It took Nangong Mo a while to understand what Xiao Qianjiong meant. Compared with the Buddhist disciples in the minds of the world, Nianyuan is indeed not a good person. Not only is he not kind, but sometimes he is even more ruthless than ordinary laymen in his schemes for King Yan. These are obviously discordant with Xiao Sangongzi's three views of Yan Yan, and the more King Yan relies on Nianyuan, the more he sees Nianyuan as unpleasant. In other words, it is not easy for the royal family to give birth to a child with a good outlook like Xiao Sangongzi.
Seeing Nangong Mo smiling, Xiao Qianjiong was a little annoyed, "What are you laughing at?" Didn't my cousin hate that monk too? He also said that the monk had ambitions. β
Nangong Mo sighed lightly, comforted the fried Xiao Sangongzi and said, "I'm not laughing at you, who in this world doesn't have ambitions?" And how many of them are really loyal to people who have no more than he wants? It is the generals under your father, who follow your father to fight the world not only because they think your father is a master, but also because they think that following your father can realize their own ambitions. Although it is said that the suspect is not necessary, but now... General Xue Zhen is far away in Yingchuan since ancient times, General Zhu Hong can not move to guard the border passes, although my eldest brother is quite talented in marching and fighting, he is too young and has little experience. Apart from Nianyuan, who else can fill the vacancy in this strategist? If you doubt him, you will naturally guard against him. Then be careful. Do you say that you are willing to gamble with Nian Yuan first that he is innocent, or do you just watch the army being drowned by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court? β
Xiao Qianjiong was silent for a long time, hugged his head and sighed: "Cousin-in-law, although you have always said that you can't fight, I always feel that you should at least be better than me." β
Nangong Mo smiled, "If you talk nonsense, I will just talk about useless truths." If you think about it, if you think something is wrong, you can also take the time to ask your father. He's more experienced than we all have. β
Xiao Qianjiong nodded solemnly.
In a tent on the other side, Nian Yuan was sitting cross-legged behind a low table and looking at the scriptures in his hand. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and was not surprised to see Nangong Mo and Xiao Qianjiong. Nodding with a smile, he said unhurriedly: "County Lord, Third Prince." β
Nangong Mo looked around, the big tent was very plainly furnished, but there were no fewer things that should be there. These days, Nianyuan obviously hasn't suffered any sin.
"The master is idle."
Nian Yuan smiled a little helplessly: "What else can you do if you are not idle?" It's a rare leisure in the past two years. The little monk also took this opportunity to be quiet. β
Nangong Mo said: "The master is not curious, why did we come?" β
Nianyuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Please ask the county lord for advice." β
"Uncle Yan Wang is out of danger, he asked us to let you out." Nangong Modao.
A smile appeared on Nian Yuan's handsome face, and he recited the Buddha and said, "The prince is safe, it is really a blessing to invite the heavens." Presumably, the county lord also spent a lot of effort. β
Nangong Mo said: "Uncle trusts the master so much, it seems that the previous incident has nothing to do with the master, we misunderstood the master." β
Nianyuan shook his head and said, "The prince is very loving, and Nianyuan is grateful." It's just that this defeat in Siyang is a mistake of Nianyuan, and the little monk can't escape the blame. I just don't know, can you find the details in the army? Nangong Mo sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Once there will be a second time, the other party will always show his feet." β
Nian Yuan was a little helpless, "The county lord is not in a hurry, if the other party has been hiding in the army......"
Nangong Mo said with a smile: "If he doesn't move anymore, if our army goes all the way, is there any fine work, and how much difference is there?" β
Nian Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile. Shaking his head and sighing, he said: "The county lord is high, and the little monk is not as good." β
Nangong Mo also laughed, "It's just crooked." The affairs of the army have their own people in the army to worry about, and I don't bother to pay attention to casual nonsense. Uncle asked the master to leave for Yundu to assist my brother Nangong Xu, and asked the master to bother. Nianyuan frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "The imperial court has increased its troops?" β
"Eight hundred thousand." Nangong Modao.
Hearing this, the look on Nian Yuan's face was also a little more solemn, "It seems... The Jinling man was going to do everything he could to block our army north of the Li River. β
Nangong Mo nodded, after the Li River, Jinling was just a stone's throw away. It's no wonder that Xiao Qianye is not in a hurry.
brought King Yan's words to Nianyuan as they were, and Nianyuan also had a rare solemn face, nodded and said, "I will live up to the prince's trust." β
"Then it's hard master." Nangong Modao.
Coming out of Nianyuan's tent, Xiao Qianjiong looked depressed. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and asked with some puzzlement, "What's the matter?" β
Xiao Qianwei shook his head, "I just saw that monk, and I think he is actually a good person." β
Nangong Mo smiled, Nianyuan looked handsome, and his temperament seemed to be unstained with red dust. As long as you don't know what he did and the schemes he has made for King Yan in the past two years. Anyone who looks at it will feel that this is a highly respected Buddhist celebrity. It's really incompatible with strategists and the like who are full of intrigue and intrigue.
Two days after sending Nian Yuan away, King Yan was in a hurry to go to Pengcheng when his health was better. Nangong Mo and Xiao Qianjiong couldn't stop him, so they had to let him go. After all, this place in Siyang is still too remote, but fortunately, it is not very far from Pengcheng, and everyone is not worried about staying here.
When the group escorted King Yan, who was still lying on the couch and couldn't move, they carefully got to the army outside Pengcheng, and just after the two armies finished a battle, they each collected their troops and returned to the camp. It seems that no one has stood on the cheap, but now Shao Zhong, who is guarding the city, is not in a hurry. Shi Jingxiang had already gone out to fight Nangong Huai, which was originally what everyone in Yanwangfu had always wanted to achieve. It's just that the situation is different now. With Nangong Huai and hundreds of thousands of troops, their strength can be said to have increased exponentially.
Although the Youzhou army had more than 300,000 Chenzhou troops to join, Yan Wang also suffered a lot of losses in Siyang before he was seriously injured. In this way, the change in strength is not obvious. Now Shao Zhong only needs to hold Pengcheng, and he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. The reason why he came out to fight with Chen Yu from time to time was more because he was afraid that Chen Yu would leave Pengcheng and go to Yundu to cause trouble.
Hearing that King Yan had arrived, Wei Junmo and Chen Yu didn't bring people to greet them with great fanfare. After all, King Yan's current appearance is really not able to boost morale. A carriage pulled directly closer to the door of the large tent in the army, and then sent people directly into the tent to rest.
For King Yan running around restlessly, Wei Gongzi was very displeased. However, he naturally wouldn't be angry with Nangong Mo, and King Yan was lying on the bed with no energy, so Xiao Sangongzi, who was ordered to stay to take care of King Yan, bore the brunt of the baptism of Wei Gongzi's death ray.
Xiao Qianjiong had no choice but to shrink his neck and hide behind Nangong Mo, his heart was full of depression: What does his father want to do, where can he stop it?
In the big tent, Wei Junmo looked at King Yan lying on the bed with a cold face. King Yan couldn't hold it anymore because of his gaze, and snorted lightly: "If you have anything to say, who will show this yin and yang weird appearance?" β
Wei Junmo didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked sideways at Nangong who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Flawless, His Royal Highness King Yan's injuries are okay, right?" β
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there should be no worries about life." But if you don't cultivate carefully, you can't say for sure. Although you know where you are inside, when will you bleed and collapse or something? Wei Junmo nodded slightly, looked back at King Yan with an expressionless face, and said, "I thought His Royal Highness King Yan was already alive." β
"Bastard ......"
"Father, rest your anger!" Seeing that King Yan was about to lose his temper, Xiao Qianchi's brothers hurriedly persuaded him, his cousin-in-law said so badly, if something really went wrong, they really couldn't stand it.
Wei Junmo snorted lightly, raised his hand and threw something over.
Now that King Yan can't even lift his arm, Wei Junmo naturally won't throw anything at him. That thing looked not light, but it didn't even make a sound when it fell on the couch beside King Yan, as if a piece of paper was falling down. It was an ink-colored Panlong Seal, which was the Yanwang Treasure Seal that Chen Yu handed over to Wei Junmo that day.
King Yan frowned and glanced up at him. Wei Junmo said: "Since it's okay, let's keep it myself." β
King Yan gritted his teeth, "Could it be that you want this king to handle military affairs by himself?" β
Wei Gongzi showed an extremely rare hint of mocking smile, "Oh? Uncle, since you think you're fine, of course it's time to handle military affairs by yourself. Impeccable and I also have our own things to do, so we can't guard you every day, right? "Therefore, if Wei Gongzi gets angry, he will be very powerful when he starts to mock.
His Royal Highness King Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "You unfilial bastard!" Guarding this king is still delaying your time?! β
"Huh." Wei Gongzi sneered.
The three sons of the Xiao family next to him had already shrunk their heads into quails. No matter what they thought of this cousin, they wouldn't dare to talk to their father like this even if they borrowed the courage of the eight of them.
Nangong Mo secretly grabbed Wei Junmo's sleeve and shook it, signaling him to stop. Don't really make King Yan angry, it's not good.
Wei Junmo didn't plan to really anger King Yan, nodded and said indifferently: "Since my uncle has already done it, I still have to keep the things by myself." There is a need to come and ask you to take. "As the nephew of King Yan, he holds the seal in his hand that can mobilize the entire Youzhou Army and the Yan Palace, and he also holds the huge Chenzhou Army in one hand, even if he changes Wei Junmo, he is afraid that he will be angry.
King Yan thought about it, although he hadn't asked much about what happened after he fell into a coma these days. But since this seal is in Wei Junmo's hands, it must be that the expression of the three sons at that time is not so satisfying. I didn't know what it was like in my heart for a while, so I raised my eyes and looked at the three sons standing by the bed, and then at Wei Junmo who was sitting on the other side. He sighed slightly and didn't say anything more.
Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo didn't feel anything, but the three brothers of the Xiao family were very weak by King Yan's eyes. Hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more. King Yan didn't want to pursue these now, so he changed the topic and asked, "Shao Zhong of Pengcheng, still hasn't thought of a way to solve it?" β
------Off topic------
Although everyone especially likes the three brothers of the Xiao family, uh, I don't like it either. But I think I understand them very well. For money, the right to ** in fact everyone has. We don't want to take the throne, because we're 108,000 miles away. When something you want so badly is just one step away from you and 108,000 miles away, it feels very different.
For example, if the family has one billion assets, but the parents give the eldest brother 990 million when they are dying, they will give the younger brother 10 million. 10 million is a lot, it's okay to live comfortably for a lifetime, but can my brother be happy? Ordinary people may become enemies of brothers and sisters for tens of thousands of inheritances, not to mention the throne, or even the throne.
If Mu Youjun Mo, this story is written from the perspective of Qianchi: My ambitious younger brother.
From Qianwei's point of view, it is: my pair of eccentric fathers and mothers.
From Qianjiong's point of view, it is: my two inexplicable brothers.
T
