"Lord of Star City!" I haven't seen him for a few years, but Chen Yu still recognized the woman in blue on horseback at a glance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "What about Gongzi Wei?" ”

Nangong Mo said: "We encountered an assassin ambush in front, and General Lao sent someone to take a look. "Nangong Mo isn't very worried about Wei Junmo's safety, but someone always has to deal with the aftermath, right? Chen Yu's face also changed, and he hurriedly ordered the generals around him to lead a team of men and horses to rush to help.

Invite Nangong Mo into the camp, Nangong Mo looked at the stable and orderly appearance of the soldiers in the camp, and couldn't help but praise you Chen Yu a little. smiled: "In addition to such a thing, thanks to General Chen's presence." Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "The county lord has won the award, if something happens to the prince, we are afraid that it will not last for a few days here." ”

Nangong Mo's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he sighed and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Chen Yu nodded towards Nangong Mo and said, "County Lord, let's talk about it." ”

After entering the big tent and sitting down, Chen Yu explained the story in detail.

Pengcheng couldn't be attacked for a long time, and the Youzhou army was inevitably a little anxious. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and after staying in Pengcheng for a long time, it was difficult to say whether the imperial court would send people to intercept them again, after all, it was really not very far from Jinling. Often, the closer the distance, the more difficult it is to fight.

King Yan took Nianyuan's Jianyi, and his troops were divided into two routes, first bypassing Pengcheng and attacking Siyang. The soldiers and horses along this road were personally led by the prince, and no one knew that the enemy would set up a serious illness ambush in Siyang. Not only did Shi Jingxiang not be transferred out, but Siyang was not captured, but King Yan and the entire army fell into an ambush. This can be regarded as the biggest defeat encountered by the Youzhou army since its expedition.

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and pondered, and only after a moment did he ask, "What about Nianyuan?" Also went on the expedition with my uncle? ”

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "When the prince left, I asked Master Nianyuan to stay and assist me in attacking the city, but after the prince had an accident, I asked Nianyuan to be taken into custody." The county lord sees the long-term vision? ”

Nangong Mo thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary for the time being, let's talk about the situation in Siyang first." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

Siyang is a small city, not far from Pengcheng. Backed by Fuling Lake, there are four water systems intertwined in the territory, like a dense water network. In the end, although all the rivers flow into Fuling Lake, the water surface of Fuling Lake is vast and spans several counties, and it is also the largest lake in Jiangbei. Such a place is really not an advantage for the soldiers of the Youzhou Army from the north. However, for the Youzhou army that wants to fight Li Jiang and stay in Jinling, it should also be expected. After all, the further south you go, the more you will be in this terrain.

The Fuyun Valley where King Yan was trapped was in a valley not far from the mountains of Fuling Lake. The valley is seven or eight miles deep, and the area inside is not small. It can indeed make the remnants of the Youzhou Army retreat into it. But there is water and no food in the valley, and after a long time, even the people in the valley can starve to death. Outside Fuyun Valley, heavy troops have already been laid out now, and it is not easy to save people.

After speaking, Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "The only thing to be glad about now is probably that Fuyun Valley is in the upper hand, right?" Otherwise, as long as the other party piles firewood and smokes it at the mouth of the valley, the people inside will not be able to stand it. ”

Nangong Mo smiled indifferently and said, "It's better to have something to be happy about than nothing." This shows that God is still on our side, right? ”

Listening to her words, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile, "Hearing the county lord say this, I feel a lot more relaxed." ”

Nangong Mo said: "Pengcheng still needs General Chen to preside over the overall situation, General Chen don't think too much." Jun Mo will go directly to Siyang, take a rest, and I will go over immediately. Here you have to bother the general. Chen Yu's expression was solemn, when did he pass the letter He himself knew that Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo could feel it now, obviously they had been on the road without rest all night. Even though Nangong Mo had been talking to herself calmly, Chen Yu could feel her tiredness. Hurriedly nodded and ordered someone to prepare a tent for Nangong Mo to rest.

Early the next morning, after Nangong Mo said goodbye to Chen Yu, he rushed to the direction of Siyang with his people. She also took Wei Hongfei and Tang Zeng, two captives, as well as Nianyuan.

Nian Yuan is still pure, obviously although his freedom is restricted, Chen Yu does not treat him badly. Nian Yuan himself did not have the slightest consciousness of being a prisoner, and when he saw Nangong Mo, he greeted him very gently, "Lord of Star City." ”

"Master Nianyuan." Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, he hadn't seen him for two years, Master Nianyuan is now "

Nian Yuan was a little helpless, "The little monk is also a layman, and he will always make mistakes." ”

Nangong Mo shook his head, turned over and turned around and said, "If something happens to His Royal Highness King Yan this time, the master is afraid that he will be able to understand it without making a mistake." Nian Yuan sighed, "If something happens to His Royal Highness King Yan, the little monk will naturally not survive." But the little monk really didn't understand" was silent for a moment, and then said: "County Lord, you must be careful when you go to Siyang." The little monk felt that there was only one master in Siyang City who you and I couldn't think of. Otherwise, even if the prince can't win the sneak attack on Siyang, it shouldn't be like this."

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "Thank you Master for admonishing me." Let's go! ”

Unexpected? Gong Yuchen or Yuan Chun? Or is it really someone they can't even think of?

Wei Junmo and the remnants of the soldiers who had withdrawn from the battlefield temporarily lived in a camp on a mountainside twenty miles away from Siyang City. King Yan led 150,000 people to attack Siyang, originally thought that it should be nine out of ten, but who would have thought that it would be a sailboat in the gutter. Less than 20,000 soldiers and horses were withdrawn, and it is said that there were only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses who followed King Yan to advance into Fuyun Valley. In other words, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost this time. This is indeed an extremely painful loss for the Youzhou army.

"Jun Mo." When Nangong Mo led people to the camp, Wei Junmo was sitting on the edge of the hillside outside the camp looking into the distance and pondering. Nangong Mo saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting there at a glance, waved his hand to signal the person behind him to go in first, and turned around and went over there.

Wei Junmo turned around, although his eyes were still calm and bright, he knew that he had fallen asleep just now by just looking at Nangong Mo.

"Flawless." Wei Junmo stretched out his hand, Nangong Mo put his hand in the palm of his hand, and sat down next to him. The direction facing the two is the direction of Siyang City. Nangong Mo said softly: "Worried about uncle? Have you been there? ”

Wei Junmo nodded and said, "Fuyun Valley is surrounded by heavy troops, and I didn't go in." ”

It's not that Wei Gongzi's martial arts can't enter, but the opponent's defense is very clever, if he finds that Wei Junmo forcibly broke in, maybe he will really directly ask for the life of King Yan.

Nangong Mo naturally understood this truth, and looked at the green shadow under Wei Gongzi's eyes, "You didn't rest last night?" "Wei Junmo ran to Fuyun Valley as soon as he arrived in Siyang, and he is still sitting here, and he has not rested all night tomorrow, but I am afraid that he has just come back from outside. has been opened like this, and Wei Gongzi has not closed his eyes for two whole nights.

"Take a break first, and we'll talk about it later." Nangong Mo said softly, pulling Wei Junmo to rest on his lap. Wei Junmo was silent for a moment, but still nodded. He really needs to take a break to make his mind clearer and his body back to its best.

In the camp behind him, the deputy general who was temporarily in charge came out to discuss with the two. As soon as I got out of the camp, I saw two people sitting on the side of the hill, and I wanted to walk over quickly, but I was stopped by Lin Changfeng who was following behind me. The deputy general frowned slightly, and was about to speak, Lin Changfeng said in a low voice: "Jun Mo hasn't closed his eyes for two nights, let him rest for a while." ”

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed Lin Changfeng to turn around and go back to the camp.

In the big tent, Wei Junmo sat on the main seat with an indifferent expression, and Nangong Mo sat beside him with a gentle expression. Below, a cadre of generals lowered their heads and did not dare to gasp. Leave the prince in the encirclement of the enemy, if the prince can't save him, even if he kills them, it will be difficult to atone for his sins.

Wei Junmo said in a deep voice: "Now which of you can sue me, what is going on?" As soon as Siyang went to Fuyun Valley to investigate the situation, Wei Junmo really didn't have time to ask what was going on. It's a pity that the generals present really couldn't give him more information. The deputy general was a little embarrassed and said: "Hui Gongzi, the last general is incompetent, and no one knows why there are so many soldiers and horses in Siyang City in advance." And the person who led the troops seems to be very powerful. ”

"Who's leading the troops?"

Everyone shook their heads blankly, and from the beginning to the end, the person did not appear in front of people at all. As soon as they arrived in Siyang, they were ambushed, and their soldiers and horses were scattered into two sides. The deputy general did not think about saving King Yan, but the other party seemed to anticipate what he was thinking, and on the one hand, he forced King Yan all the way to the south, and on the other hand, he sent a serious illness to encircle and suppress them. After trying three times, he failed to rush over and fight against King Yan, but he lost his troops and lost his generals. The adjutant general could only collect the remaining soldiers and horses and retreat twenty miles, while sending a letter to Chen Yu for help.

Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo glanced at each other, with a hint of confusion in their eyes. How many generals under Xiao Qianye can be used, if they don't fully understand, they at least know a ** thing. Among them, the most powerful of them was already in the spring of the Common Era, and if it weren't for the 100,000 people who were in a hurry, Xiao Qianye would not have been able to send him to the battlefield. Moreover, this style is not like Yuan Chun's means. Could it be that Xiao Qianye's subordinates really have a genius who suddenly turned out?

Lin Changfeng shrugged and said, "Jun Mo, we don't have enough soldiers and horses now, and it's unlikely that we want to forcibly rescue King Yan." Let's think of another way, can we sneak in and steal King Yan out? ”

Wei Junmo frowned and said: "Fuyun Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, not to mention the cliffs, and among the mountains. If you want to go around the mountains, it is not only a long way, but you may also get lost. In addition, according to the local people, the cliffs in the valley are as high as 100 zhang, and the cliffs are so smooth that there is no grass to grow. Even if I can go in, how can I bring my uncle out? The place is full of traps at the entrance of Fuyun Valley, and a full 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, which can be said to surround the entire Fuyun Valley. ”

Lin Changfeng frowned, "It's not so hanging, is it?" I remember that there were no majestic mountains near Pengcheng. Get lost? "They are in the killer business, is Wei Junmo joking?

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "Jun Mo is right, I once heard Uncle Shi mention this place. The water vapor near Fuling Lake is extremely heavy, and some mountains are covered with clouds and mist all year round. And Fuling Lake is very suitable for plant growth, although the mountain peak is not steep and straight, but there are countless trees and plants in the mountain, flying insects and beasts. It is not necessarily inferior to the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang. In addition, there may be swamps in the mountains.

Hearing this, Lin Changfeng could only roll his eyes helplessly. In such a situation, it is no problem for a few of them with strong martial arts to go, but it is obviously whimsical to want to go in from inside on a large scale to save people without alarming the enemy.

"What then?" Lin Changfeng asked.

Wei Junmo thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go to Fuyun Valley again tonight, no matter what, I have to see my uncle first." Lin Changfeng, be sure to find out who is guarding Siyang now! ”

Lin Changfeng nodded, "That's it." ”

"I'll go with you." Nangong Mo looked at Wei Junmo and said softly.

Wei Junmo held her hand and didn't say anything but nodded.

The people were dismissed, but the remaining three people in the big tent were silent for a while. After a while, Lin Changfeng let out a long sigh and said: "In the past two years, the Youzhou army has fought smoothly, who knew that it would actually be planted in such a small county." ”

Nangong Mo said softly: "You must be careful. I always feel that the people in Siyang City are not simple. ”

Changfeng Gongzi smiled: "Miss Mo, don't worry, no matter what, it will not be a problem for me to get out by myself." Or Miss Mo simply don't blame Wei Junmo, he can't die, Miss Mo will go with me to explore Siyang City, right? ”

Wei Gongzi shook him lightly and said, "What did Nianyuan say?" Nangong Mo frowned and said: "Nianyuan said, there must be a powerful person in Siyang City that we didn't expect." Otherwise, King Yan would not have been able to plant here so easily. ”

Wei Junmo sneered and said to Lin Changfeng: "If we don't come back, we will kill Nianyuan."

"Huh?" Lin Changfeng was a little surprised, "Do you doubt Nianyuan?" Although he didn't like the monk very much, they didn't have any evidence that Nian Yuan was a traitor, right?

Wei Junmo said indifferently: "How could the other party know so coincidentally that my uncle would sneak attack Siyang and still lay heavy troops in Siyang?" ”

"That doesn't prove that it was leaked by Nianyuan, right?"

Wei Junmo nodded and said, "Well, if he is wronged, then he is unlucky."

“”

In the middle of the night, several figures flashed through the mountains and forests, and soon merged with the vast night. The dim moonlight shone on the cliff, and when you looked down from above, you could only see a white mist, bottomless. Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo stood on the edge of the cliff and looked around, except for the sound of birds and beasts coming from afar, the surroundings were empty. Wei Junmo said softly: "I'll go down first." ”

Nangong Mo smiled slightly and nodded. In fact, in this case, it really doesn't make much difference who goes down first. This cliff is far higher than they imagined, and ordinary people probably have no second way to go except for broken bones when they fall.

Wei Junmo didn't delay, and jumped off the cliff directly.

Nangong Mo sighed, although she had good light skills, this cliff was too high and steep, and she didn't have the ability to jump down like Wei Junmo. Come to think of it, she has other skills.

Raise your hand and take out the package you brought with you, pull out a rope inside and tie it to your body. Then tied the hook at the other end of the rope to a big tree, and Nangong Mo jumped off the cliff. With the strength of the rope relaying several times on the cliff wall in mid-air, Nangong Mo fell to the ground smoothly. As soon as he landed, he was hugged tightly in his arms.

"I'm fine." Nangong Mo didn't raise his head, and laughed softly.

"Hmm." Wei Junmo nodded and said, "They shouldn't be stationed too close to the surroundings, and we still have to go forward." ”

Nangong Mo's hand shook, and the rope in her hand fell from above to the ground beside her. After putting away their things, the two walked hand in hand in the direction of the valley.

The area of this Fuyun Valley is not small, the depth is **li, and the width is also considerable. Otherwise, King Yan would not retreat into this valley even if he was afraid. The entrance is narrow and steep all around, and although you can't get out, your opponent can't get in. It's a great place indeed.

The two walked forward for two or three miles, and sure enough, they saw a figure.

"Who?!" Several dark shadows quickly surrounded the two of them.

"It's me." Wei Junmo said in a deep voice.

"Childe?!" The black shadow couldn't help but exclaim, these people were the guards of the Zixiao Hall that Wei Junmo placed beside King Yan. When he saw Wei Junmo here at this time, he naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wei Junmo glanced at a few guards and asked in a deep voice, "Where is my uncle?" ”

The leading guard gritted his teeth and said, "Son, forgive the sin, the prince is not very good now." ”

"Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Although the soldiers lived in the open air, they still found a place for King Yan to shelter. There are several caves in the valley that are not only natural but also dug by the day after tomorrow, although they are not large, but they can finally shelter from the wind and rain. When Nangong Mo and the others followed the guards into a cave, they saw King Yan lying on a low couch built simply. His face was pale and haggard, and there was a trace of unwiped blood on his lips. The whole person was obviously in a coma.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Nangong Mo directly stepped forward to check the pulse of King Yan. His heart sank slightly, "Has the prince been injured?" ”

The guard nodded, "When I broke through a few days ago, the prince accidentally fell off his horse. There was nothing at the time, but the next morning the prince fell unconscious. It's been two days. "The military doctors have long disappeared in the chaos, and although they used to be killers, they knew a little bit about the skin, but they were all wounded. King Yan didn't seem to be injured, so he had to give him some tips for treating internal injuries, and nothing else was really helpless.

Nangong Mo sighed slightly, took out a pill and stuffed it into King Yan's mouth. The guards next to him hurriedly sent water for King Yan to swallow. Fortunately, although he was unconscious, he still knew how to swallow medicine and water, and Nangong Mo was also slightly relieved.

"Flawless, how is uncle?" Wei Junmo asked softly.

Nangong Mo frowned and said, "It's okay for the time being, let me get two stitches and I should be able to wake up." But remembering that Wei Junmo didn't know about King Yan's poisoning, Nangong Moxiu's eyebrows couldn't help frowning again.

took out the silver needle and stabbed two needles on the acupoint of King Yan, and sure enough, after a while, King Yan's eyelids moved, and he quickly opened his eyes. Seeing Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo, King Yan was stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

Wei Gongzi looked at King Yan lightly, "If we don't come, how does my uncle plan to get out of danger?" ”

King Yan glared at him angrily, "Bastard boy, you can't talk well?" As soon as the words fell, I couldn't help coughing a few more times. Wei Junmo, who was watching, frowned and said, "When did my uncle get so bad, I said that I was a woman"

"Get out!" King Yan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Nangong Mo reluctantly diverted the topic, "Uncle, didn't the senior brother leave the medicine for you when he left?" ”

King Yan sighed and said, "I left it, but I lost it in the chaos." ”

Seeing Nangong Moxiu's eyebrows tightened, King Yan could see it very clearly, "If it is really heaven that wants to kill me, it should be like this." Don't think too much. ”

Wei Junmo looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Did you forget to tell me something?" ”

King Yan was speechless and looked at Nangong Mo. Nangong Mo shrugged and said that she couldn't help it, she was unwilling to hide it from Wei Junmo, but since she promised King Yan, she had to keep her promise, and now Wei Junmo found out about it, but it was none of his business.

King Yan snorted lightly, and said with a disapproving look: "It's nothing, your uncle and I accidentally fell into someone else's way." I don't know when I'm going to die. ”

"Then why don't you die now?" Wei Junmo stared coldly at King Yan for a long time before he spit out this sentence. Then he didn't care what his expression was, he turned around and went out.

"This kid!" King Yan gritted his teeth. Nangong Mo sighed, although Wei Junmo had an indifferent personality and occasionally poisonous snakes. Even if he faced King Yan, he didn't see much respect, but he had never been so rude to King Yan. For Wei Junmo, who was once young, Yan Wang's uncle is only afraid that he is also similar to his father's cunzài. In the case that Wei Hongfei ignores or even hates him, only a man like King Yan can give the young Wei Junmo guidance and teachings that belong to his father. Although Wei Junmo no longer needs his father's love as he gets older, his respect for King Yan is not false in the slightest. Otherwise, with Wei Junmo's character, how could he pay attention to the three brothers of the Xiao family? How could he go all the way to rescue Yingchuan City. With the wealth and power in his hands, it is easy to divide one side by himself, no matter where or when.

Sighing lightly, Nangong Mo said: "Uncle forgive me, Jun Mo him"

King Yan waved his hand and said, "Okay, this king knows." This kid hasn't said a few words since he was a child. You guys come back here, it's okay over there, right? ”

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "There is General Xue on the Yingchuan side, how can there be any problems?" ”

King Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "The king of Yingchuan has read the battle report, and I didn't believe that you could get any elite soldiers in Chenzhou." Now it seems that this king has underestimated you. ”

Nangong Mo said: "It's all the credit of Uncle Ning's uncle." ”

King Yan glanced at her with a smile and said, "Yes, the last time I saw Brother Seventeen, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded the two of you fiercely. "The generals under King Kenning are the only ones who can come out. Nangong Mo shrugged, "It's just a transaction, and the money is two." ”

King Yan nodded and said, "Okay, with the two of you, you can rest assured." You go back first, and Pengcheng will be handed over to the two of you first. Hurry up and call me down, Lao Tzu will be annoyed when he sees Shao Zhong and Shi Jingxiang! ”

Nangong Mo frowned, looked at King Yan and said, "Uncle, you are here"

King Yan waved his hand and said, "What is the situation in this Fuyun Valley, this king will know when he retreats." It's not easy to get out of here, but it's not easy for people from outside to get in. Don't worry, if they want to capture this king alive, they will definitely not defend it. ”

Nangong Mo couldn't cry or laugh, "Uncle, it's been a long time, and the grain and grass in your grain can't hold it." ”

King Yan said indifferently: "The people who rushed in with me are all cavalry, and the grain and grass can still last today." If you can't do it, you can only kill the war horse first. It's always going to last a while. ”

Nangong Mo sighed, stood up and said, "Uncle, let me tell the truth." The soldiers outside can hold on, but you're afraid you won't. I have just taken your pulse, and not only have you suffered an internal injury, you have not rested well these days, and an old injury from your earlier years has also recurred. And your poison."

King Yan was silent, and the cave was silent for a while.

After a while, King Yan sighed and said, "In this situation, if you can hold it, you have to hold it, and if you can't hold it, you have to hold it." What else can I do?

Nangong Mo sighed secretly in his heart, His Royal Highness King Yan, you can't think like this, if you can't hold on, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Youzhou Army are afraid that they will be finished.

King Yan said: "Okay, I'll think about it again, it's not too early, you can go back first." ”

Nangong Mo was speechless, dare you to think about this Fuyun Valley, it's so easy to come and leave as soon as you want?

"Go out and see Jun'er and let him not worry. This king will not be able to die for a while. King Yan lay down on the bed again and said lightly. Nangong Mo admired King Yan a little, it is not uncommon for people in this world to look down on life and death, but it is not easy for a person who is in a high position and has the ambition to enter the imperial city to win the throne will face life and death so calmly. Doesn't it mean that the higher the status, the more powerful the person is, the more afraid of death?

King Yan seemed to know what she was thinking, and snorted lightly: "This king has never seen anything in his life, if he is afraid of dying in his teens, he will die." Go ahead, don't bother the king. ”

Nangong Mo was helpless, so he had to nod, "Flawless will retire first." ”
