The wind blows in the mountains and forests, and there is little autumn.

There were a few neighing horses in the hillside camp, but soon, the mischievous horses were pulled away by the stiff-faced stables, lest they startle the generals who were discussing important matters.

The secret camp did not raise flags, and what served as a big tent for the Chinese army was just an ordinary tent used with other soldiers.

A map hangs high like a screen, with Xiakou City as the center, representing several long lines of anti-thieves and King Qin's army around the city like a spider web, at first glance, it is impossible to distinguish which are thieves and which are soldiers, just like reality.

"Shen Yue, that old thief, on the tenth day of the first month, we just left from the front foot of Puzhen, and he followed the abandoned Yunsha and climbed to Yishan." , Xiao Yuan bit a grass stalk in his mouth, grinned and scolded, and his dark face looked as if he had just brushed the ashes at the bottom of the pot.

The man in black standing in front of the picture did not look back, only raised his hand and quietly moved a green paper sticker representing the Shen family's army to Yishan Mountain, which was not far from the Xiao family's camp.

The long line of earthy yellow runs down the edge of the finger, and drives straight into the open portal between Puzhen and Yunsha, leading to Xiakou City on the side of the Tuojiang River.

"According to this estimate, the first to grab Xiakou City should be the Dengzhou Huangzhou Army." , Xiao Ze, who was sitting high on the handsome seat, squinted and smiled, completely feeling guilty of abandoning the thief.

"Those thieves also said that whoever can snatch the head of Emperor Taiye first will be the co-master of the world. But if they want to let the Huang Zhou army enter Xiakou City, they are afraid that they will only care about eating the emperor and forget to leave the voucher. Xiao Long, who was also black-skinned, said jokes lightly and heavily, causing a burst of laughter from the generals in the tent.

In the camp, the Xiao family is the youngest in the eighth year, but it does not prevent the generals who can nominally call him uncle from applauding the scene harmlessly, just for his surname.

Xiao Ze knew this, and a light smile was on his lips. He beckoned to the young man who was still standing by the marching map and called, "Mingyun, come back and sit down." ”

Xiao Hong, who was dressed in a dark robe, walked back, Bai Yujun's face was as calm as water, and after he sat down, he still said a word quietly. It's like a virgin.

"Snatching the emperor's head can make it happen? It's just the self-talk of ignorant and foolish people. Xiao Ze glanced at his younger brother, and naturally followed the laughter in the camp that had not stopped to make up for the evaluation, and after the tent quieted down together under his gestures, he said in a deep voice: "If we want to rob, we will rob the useful." ”

Xiao Ze brought his younger brothers to Xiakou on the orders of his father, except for a small mistake in someone's lust, the other gains were amazing.

The Xiao family collected the military power of Yunzhou to fight against the pseudo-Qi, and also waved the banner of "volunteer soldiers", but they just came to the emperor's cousin to hang around. Regardless of whether the imperial court is happy or not, when rewarding other feudal soldiers, it also has to give benefits to Yunzhou.

On the sixth day of the first month of September, the holy decree was issued, and Xiao Ruiyao, who was far away in Yunzhou, received the official position of the governor of Yanyun, and while officially labeling Yunzhou with the Xiao family, he also sent a Yanzhou that was still in the hands of the pseudo-Qi to the Xiao family.

And in the Xiao family in Xiakou, each of them from Xiao Ze onwards also has an additional official title. The little eight, who is not yet an adult, is mixed with a flying knight captain from the sixth grade.

Just as the purpose of sending troops to the king has been achieved, if you act, you will naturally ask for a good benefit. Therefore, the Xiao family did not do the stupid thing of being cannon fodder in Puzhen by the imperial court.

"Ming Yun, why do you say we led Huang Zhoujun to Xiakou?" , looked around, Xiao Ze still partially trained his own brother first.

"The royal car is neither south nor north in Xiakou, but the emperor is unwilling to go south. Instead, Liu Renfu and his party wanted to stay in Jiangbei. The foundation of the Liu family is in Guanzhong, and there are many relatives, and if you cross the river, Shili will inevitably be greatly reduced...... But we want to force the Liu family to leave their relatives and protect the emperor to the south. Xiao Hong's voice rang out clearly. Calmly without the slightest wave.

"Moreover, there has been no emperor who has passed Jiangnan and can return to Luojing after passing the Yangtze River." , Xiao Ze smiled with satisfaction in his heart, as long as he eliminated that demon girl, his younger brother would not be confused.

Thinking about it again, it was the secret report that Emperor Taiye, who was mentioned by Zhou Manyun, may have been heavily poisoned by the "blood rules". Xiao Ze glanced at Xiao Hong again, and turned to the generals in the tent and said: "I have a letter from the palace explaining that today's dragon body is against harmony, and the mountain may collapse within the year, if this letter is true, we have to rob an emperor if we want to grab a good deal." ”

Xiao Hong, who should have only heard Zhou Manyun's words with himself, sat firmly on the side, looking as usual. Xiao Ze gently tapped his fingers on the arm of the chair.

Since the tenth day of September, after Zhou Manyun left the camp in Puzhen, the Xiao Jiajun took away Xiao Hong, who was still in a coma. Then the poisonous scab fell, and the person was sober, Xiao Hong did not keep asking about Manyun's whereabouts in front of him as before, and looked at the woman who should not remember the events of that night at all, just as the woman said.

But Xiao Ze was still worried in his heart. It's like a joke about the third brother who has been specially explained, and the calmness of the sixth brother should have more or less the transformation from a boy chicken to a man, which makes people always feel a little unremarkable.

The son of the Xiao family, who is so smart that he can use two things, even if he is distracted and thinks about his younger brother's affairs, what he said with a solemn look is righteous words, "The letter has been submitted to the father, but Guan Shan Lu Yao, in order to prevent being robbed of the first hand, we must also divide two ways first."

If there is a chance to coerce the Son of Heaven, the most suitable candidate is not the two children who have been ill in the early days by Emperor Taiye, but the grandson of Xiaozong who is far away in Luojing, and the son of the abolished King of Qi.

Let his father arch one of the children of the deposed King of Qi to the throne as the uncle of Xiaozong, which is more conducive to the subsequent realization of Emperor Taiye's charges of forcing his mother to rape his mother and concubine, killing Xiaozong, and obtaining the wrong throne.

Even if the tent is full of confidants and generals, but the tricks discussed in detail with the staff and think tanks are not easy to publicize, Xiao Ze only briefly talked about the Xiao family's two-pronged strategy, all the way north, leaving Xia Kou all the way to "protect" the emperor's heir.

In the division of labor of the generals, Xiao Hong was once again named by Xiao Ze, who was thinking about him once. "Ming Yun is willing to lead the light cavalry to go north to Luojing with your third brother?"

The tall figure stood up neatly, and replied loudly, "Xiao Mingyun is from the military order!" ”

Xiao Ze's eyebrows raised slightly......

The afterglow of the slanting sun reveals a thick blood color, and a few horses stand on the Qingliao mountain ridge, like a sculpture.

As soon as Xiao Hong reached out and moved the jaw of the hideous mask clasped on his face, his wrist was quickly grabbed by Xiao Ze, who was riding on the side, and shouted: "Little Liu! Doctor Qi said, you still can't shine directly in the sun within a month, so wear it honestly for me! ”

"Sixth brother, let's honestly be a big girl!" , Xiao Long pulled his horse and leaned over, showing a naughty smile, and leaned over to hug Xiao Hong firmly.

patted his younger brother's shoulder and said a few words, and when the horse was a little separated, Xiao Hong's right foot took off the stirrup and lightly knocked on the chestnut horse that Xiao Long was riding.

The body did not move, the horse went first, and Xiao Long, who had been thrown upside down, let out a sharp strange scream, and walked along the reins, and after a while, he was not in the group of cavalry in front.

"Let's go!" , Xiao Ze, who pulled back the horse's head, glanced at the sixth brother.

With a promise, the black horse, the black armor, and the man hidden under the black mask were sandwiched in the team and gradually merged into the dark mountain forest, disappearing without a trace......

The full moon shines like a jade plate on the reef-covered Jinli Bay, and there are two black-lacquered boats moored on the bay, swaying gently with the waves.

"It's sixteen! The river people dug the mouth of the Pinghe River and blocked the current Beihui River, and the news has spread all over Xiakou. Daddy, they should have arrived in Pingyi......"

Xu Yu, who was sitting on the side of the boat with his feet down, lowered his head and whispered to Zhou Manyun beside him: "No matter what, I have to go to see my father first." This time, all the people who came to Xiakou were wiped out except for me. I don't know what to do when I go back, so I won't pull you in. When it's over there, I'll go to Jiangnan to find you again. ”

It's another mess!

Zhou Manyun, who was basking in the moonlight with his face up, sighed angrily and said: "Brother, didn't you say that at first, Liu Da impulsively heard the rumors in the market that Emperor Taiye wanted the palace girl to dress up as his mother and sister and then commit adultery, and insisted on leading someone to break into the palace to assassinate him, and you kept dissuading him to no avail. ”

"But it's always true that I can't dissuade and steal my life. If you do something wrong, you will always have consequences. Xu Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently, and the hand that originally stretched out to rub the top of Man Yun's hair like a child only lifted it, and then honestly put it on his side again.

"If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences?! Generally speaking, people who think like this don't get the most out of it! People have great wisdom and courage, and they have already passed all the way to Shunchang, cutting melons and cutting vegetables! ”

"Childish words!" , Xu Yu looked at Man Yun seriously, and said with a smile: "You and I are mortals, so we have to be stupid." If not, don't you cross the river early? ”

"Brother! I want to wait a little longer. Maybe I will stay in Jiangbei, and I will have the opportunity to meet him again in a few days. When the time comes, I want to try it and make him remember me or ...... Or like me again. ”

Man Yun, who suddenly found himself even more stupid, lowered his head, stared at his hands and arms that were unconsciously twisted into twisted strands between words, and laughed at himself.

"Don't force it! Remember, I'm still waiting to marry you at any time! Xu Yu couldn't help but smile dumbly at a glance.

"Remember! So you have to live well! Man Yun let go of his hand with a smile and hugged Xu Yu's arms tightly.

"Unruly girl! Whoever falls in love with you is out of luck. Xu Yu lowered his head and closed his slightly sour eyes, tore off Man Yun's hand, and slowly got up to hold the railing.

The moon in the river swayed lightly, and the hazy water vapor completely blurred people's eyes......

On September 17, Zhou Manyun had just sent off Xu Yu who was heading west on the front foot of Jinli Bay, and the red plum that ran back from Xiakou City was ushered in on the back foot.

Yun Jinfan's red boss turned white with a bloody face, and when he saw Man Yun, he grabbed her chest before he could stand still, and quickly reported in his mouth like fried beans: "Miss! When we went out of the city today, we were almost blocked by the sudden ban and couldn't get out, I heard that ......"

Although there was no one in the room, the big red man still cautiously leaned into Man Yun's ear and said, "An official who accepted our bribes secretly reminded that the emperor played with women last night...... suddenly fainted and did not wake up, Liu Guozhang was about to seal the six gates of Xiakou from now on, and he was not allowed to enter or exit. ”

It is estimated that it was the river people who dug up the river and made him addicted to murder and his hands were stained with blood. A trace of clarity crossed Man Yun's heart, and his eyes were as cold as a snow cave. (To be continued......)
