(Volume 1) Chapter 17 The Road Turns

Then there was a close knock on the door. Chen Huance asked the two to avoid first, and he would deal with it. Then he trotted all the way and opened the gate. I saw a man in his thirties, dressed in a square scarf, coming in the dust. As soon as they met, they said, "Are you conspiring in this big courtyard?" ”

Chen Huance hurriedly saluted when he saw it, and said, "The hall chief forgives the sin!" "The heart said that the master had finally returned. But I secretly shouted to myself, your guy's name is "Hundred Miles Shunfeng", even if I plot in the inner hall, I don't have to be listened to by you.

The man walked straight into the courtyard, and said as he went, "Come out, the master of this place, come as a guest, and see each other." Chen Huance shouted: "My lord, Qinghan, it's the hall chief who is back, his own people." ”

The two of them came out just now, and the man looked at the two of them, and he didn't have anything to say. Chen Huance hurriedly introduced the two, and only then did he get a rough and shallow look from the man: "Luzhou Ouyang does not give up, I have seen Lord Helian and Little Brother Mu." After speaking, he instructed Chen Huance: "After a long journey, come with a cup of tea, don't take your Danyang silverquill, I can't get used to it." ”

Mu Qinghan secretly said in his heart: "The main family is the main family, so arrogant. Chen Huance took the tea and soaked it before the rain in Hengzhou, which was exactly what Ouyang did not give up. Ouyang took a sip, feeling a little hot, pursed his lips, and put the teacup aside to cool. I would like to sit down on top of the main hall.

Chen Huan Ce sat on his side and asked, "Yesterday, I heard that a large army attacked West Vietnam. How do you get into the city? ”

Ouyang Buqi glanced at him and said: "Chun Yu Xianzhong and his shrimp soldiers and crab generals are all facing off against the Hengzhou army at the west gate, and there are few people guarding the south gate, so I came in with a little trick." ”

Chen Huance said: "Sure enough, we also deduced that it was Hengzhou soldiers and horses. ”

Ouyang didn't give up and picked up the tea tray again: "The soldiers brought by Liu Chunqing personally." Holding the lid of the cup, he waved the tea leaves and blew it: "It looks like it comes from the thirteen mountains of Baichuan." ”

He took a sip and said bluntly to Mu Qinghan: "I just heard that Little Brother Mu is planning a big thing, and I don't even look at whether it will harm others?" ”

This is very straightforward, it is understandable that Mu Qinghan wants to find Chun Yu's revenge, but the academy has taken him in twice, if he doesn't succeed, he will be traced at that time, and the academy may not be able to escape the blame. Tang Mingyin has a friendship with him, but he can ignore it. But the academy master in front of him has never known him all his life, so of course he will not give up his family business to make a bet with him.

Mu Qinghan said: "Qinghan has relied on the protection of friends in the school, and he is already deeply afraid. If this can't be done, how dare you talk about the school again. ”

"Huh." The master sneered, "I'm afraid that the Chunyu dungeon torture equipment can pry open the address of my Shangli Academy." ”

It's just that I don't trust him, and it's extremely uncomfortable to hear it. But Mu Qinghan is finally under the eaves of others, and he can only rely on others here. But he was a tavern handyman, and it wasn't too difficult for him.

Chen Huance played a round on the side: "Brother Mu Yu Mingyin has great kindness, and he also helps me a lot in Wangyun Tower, he is a good friend, why bother?" You are a person with a large number of adults, so why bother to criticize you repeatedly. ”

Ouyang Buqi smiled and said, "If it weren't for that, how could I allow him to sit high in this hall at this moment." ”

Mu Qinghan listened, it was really not a taste, and he got up and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Ouyang Buqi: "I am here if you want to come, and you can leave if you want." Stop me! ”

For a while, the atmosphere of the entire academy became a little restless, in comparison, although the battle in Xicheng was fierce last night, it seemed relatively calm at this moment, and Chun Yu Xianzhong leaned against the city wall and took a nap. Although Liu Chunqing attacked fiercely last night, he knew that before dawn, he failed to attack the city tower. After all, it was a lightly armed attack, and it was indeed disadvantageous in terms of attacking fortifications, but there was actually another reason why he was unable to conquer the city under the superior forces.

Chun Yu Xianzhong was a little tired, but he didn't sleep comfortably. After all, how comfortable it can be to lean against the cold city wall. The purple robe walked up to the city, and last night he also commanded the palace guards on the Wangyun Tower to organize the enemy soldiers who entered the city from Lixiu Lake, and fought fiercely all night, but finally did not let the Hengzhou army land on the shore.

He walked up to Chun Yu and nudged him gently. Chun Yu didn't sleep deeply, and he woke up after some pushing. Rubbing his eyes and looking at it, he stretched out his hand to be helped up by the purple robe, sighed and said, "The national teacher worked hard, and I didn't sleep last night." ”

The purple robe replied: "Eat Junlu, don't say bitter." Who knew that the king of Hengzhou suddenly became troubled? ”

"Suddenly? I don't think it's sudden. Chun Yu Xianzhong said, "Before the former Hengpu Pass was lost, the guard general gave this king a military performance, talking about the combat characteristics of the Chongyi army. Now that I think about it, things are not as simple as I thought before, and Liu Senke is worthy of being the hero at that time. Now that Yang Nanpu is not here, there is no good general available in Xiyue City, so he has to wait for the third brother to lead the army to help. ”

The purple robe took the opportunity to compliment: "Even so, Liu Chunqing's offensive last night was so fierce, didn't the king also command Ruo Ding and calmly retreated?" ”

Chun Yu Xianzhong smiled and walked on the city wall, looking at the unfinished smoke under the city wall and the corpses of the two armies. touched the cannon in front of him, and only said: "This is a good command from me, it is really this foreigner's artillery that is really easy to use." It's also a coincidence, a month ago, thirty Charlie Adoman Acropolis cannons were just transported from the Southern Patrol ship, and it was said that they were smuggled and seized by foreigners in Blue River Harbor. It is no wonder that more than a hundred years ago, King Wu Wei relied on the danger of the river to bombard away the once invincible single iron horse with a cannon. ”

The purple robe said: "The benefits of artillery are seen by the world, and if you make an alliance with King Wu by marriage this time, there will be no shortage of firearms in the future." ”

Chun Yu Xianzhong said: "Far away, you see this city, although it has not attacked, but it still surrounds the whole city like an iron bucket, I just counted carefully, there seem to be 20,000 people under this city. ”

Zi Pao also said: "You may not know it, but the palace guards report that from the diorama, new soldiers and horses are still appearing at the southern foot of Duanshan, and there seem to be parts of trebuchets and battering rams transported. ”

"It's not terrible, it's terrible that Liu Chunqing uses soldiers, not only likes trickery, but also is good at blocking people's communications, I'm afraid that none of our heralds will rush out. So where do you get reinforcements? ”

Zi Pao said: "According to the agreement made a year ago, the princess who the king asked King Wu to marry has already set off, and I think I will be able to arrive at Blue River Port in a few days." The third prince must send an army to escort him, and it will only be half a month, and the reinforcements will arrive. ”

Chun Yu Xianzhong was worried: "It's just an escort woman, will the third child send all the people?" And without my order, only Yang Nanpu has the right to transfer the Shuliu Battalion at this moment. ”

"If there is no contact between the main city for a long time, with the talents of the three princes, you should be able to expect changes here. The two cities are connected by the Canghe River into the Great Blue River, and it only takes one day to go and two days to come. If the army arrives three days later, send the army to see here to know the situation, and return to the south to tour, it will only be the morning and the evening. ”

"Hmph." Chun Yu Xianzhong only sneered, "I'm afraid that he will push the boat down the river." However, with these thirty cannon barrels, it is still feasible to hold on for half a month. In addition, in any case, we will have to wait until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Thanks to Liu Chunqing, if it was the book crown sword, I am afraid that the city would have been broken at this moment. ”

"Speaking of the sixteenth day of the first month, there is one more thing." Zipao felt that Chun Yu Xianzhong was tired at this time, and he was afraid that he would not be too angry if he said some bad news, so he said: "This morning, the dungeon duty came to report, and the prison guards came to Ximen last night, and Mu Qinghan took the opportunity to run away." ”

"What!" Chun Yu was furious, but he really didn't have more strength to roar, so he only scolded: "Shackles and shackles and prison doors, even if there is no one, how did he run." ”

The purple robe said, judging from the scene, there is another lock-picking master in the dungeon, and now Mu Qinghan should only have his special rune shackles on him. Chun Yu Xianzhong suppressed the fire and said, "It was also yesterday that the situation was urgent. Are the other women in Wangyun Tower still locked up well? ”

"The minister has been supervising the battle in Wangyunlou last night, and he checked it this morning, and he is all there."

"That's good, it's the icing on the cake, and if you lose it, you lose it." Chun Yu Xianzhong waved his hand and didn't say anything.

At this time, a sergeant suddenly came to report, saying that Ouyang Yang, the head of the Shangli Academy, did not give up and asked to see him. Chun Yu Xianzhong thought for a while and said, "Liao Beilou's dog legs? What is he doing here? Call him to see him. ”

I saw Ouyang Bu give up trotting all the way, and walked to Chun Yu with a sneer, and the two school attendants behind him were holding a bundle of sturdy people, and they also plugged the man's mouth with a cloth, only to hear the man struggling.

Ouyang Buqi just walked in front of him, and knelt down for Chun Yu with a plop, shouting words like King Chitose in his mouth. Chun Yu was also noisy when he heard it, so he said impatiently: "What is Mr. Ouyang doing here?" This is the place to drink tea and listen to music. ”

Ouyang Buqi quietly raised his head, met Chunyu's gaze, and said with a smile: "The grass people have given you a gift?" ”

Seeing Chun Yu's puzzled face, Ouyang didn't give up and said to his subordinates to bring it up, and the knot that was tied up before was sent over. Chun Yu Xianzhong was not interested, when he saw this person, he stood up, and immediately walked over to see it, it turned out that this person was none other than Mu Qinghan.

Chun Yuzheng thought to himself, it took all that effort to capture this high-grade golden pill, and it was a pity to say that he lost it. But before he was ready to accept the reality, someone actually tied him up, which was a happy event. While looking at it, he asked Ouyang Bu to give up, and said, "Where did Mr. Ouyang hunt the grass valley and find such a treasure." Saying that, he smiled, and his tone gradually became generous, especially when he looked at Mu Qinghan's angry eyes at this time, he was even more proud.

Ouyang didn't give up and got up, bowed his body, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the king's blessing, this morning this guy sneaked into the kitchen of my school to steal my rice noodles, I asked someone to arrest him, to see that he had a flail, it is estimated that he is a prisoner, and then he drew two whips and asked, only to know that it is your important criminal, this is not sent to you as soon as possible." Of course he didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise his school would be finished, so he made up this, because of some reasons, and he was not afraid that Mu Qinghan would accuse him of Shangli School later.

"Good things, be rewarded." Chun Yu smiled and said, "But Liao Daguan is so rich, I'm afraid that the reward from this king is a little shabby." ”

Ouyang Bu gave up and looked flattering: "What do you say, the king is stable and the country is safe, and those of us who are subjects are worried about the king, if someone bullies my school in the future, who will call the shots for the grass people?" ”

Hearing this, Chun Yu smiled in his heart, and didn't say much, only praised: "Shangli School is full of virtuous teachers and famous teachers, and most of my children are my southern patrol humerus, if this king wants to protect the world, who will protect the world?" You can go back with peace of mind, if Liao Daguan comes to Xiyue, this king should come to visit. ”

Ouyang nodded like pounding garlic, saluted Chun Yu and the purple robe, and trotted away. Looking at his somewhat funny back, Chun Yu Xianzhong asked the purple robe: "National teacher, what do you think of this dog's leg?" ”

Zi Pao sneered and said bluntly about the villain, but he heard Chun Yu say: "It's such a villain, let how many noble families in Xiyue send their children to him, plus Liao Beilou's financial resources, I can't move a penny in his small primary school, and it's also the ability of this dog's leg." ”

At this time, he noticed Mu Qinghan who was still struggling on the side, so he said: "The young man really has strength, change his place, it's good for me to visit the cloud building, he always has to go up to the secret room on the top floor, remember to add a piece of clothing to him, and save it from freezing." ”

The purple robe said yes, so he ordered someone to escort him to the top floor of Wangyun Tower, and also tailored a cage for him, which is said to be explained by Chun Yu Xianzhong later, saying that he should not let him mess with the nobleman's clothes.

Here, Ouyang Bu returned to the academy and said, "Finally sent him away, otherwise if you do this, I'm really afraid that the academy will lose it for you one day." Chen Huance said on the side: "If you want to curry favor with Chun Yu Xianzhong, why don't you send Lord Helian to the West Gate together." ”

Ouyang Bu gave up and said: "I am also a courtier of Da Zheng when I discuss it carefully, although Ming Yin does not admit it, but I recognize it." Lord Helian is the envoy of Shuofang, and I am already uneasy to let him consign to the secret room. ”

"No wonder I wanted to send you to the southern tour back then, you are really suitable for this position." Chen Huance finished speaking and left. Only Ouyang Bu was left drinking tea alone: "Yes, Luzhou is a thousand miles away from here, who can come if you don't send me." ”

said that Ouyang did not give up and had tea to drink, Mu Qinghan had a meal at the moment, only a bucket of water by the cage, and let him take it himself, like a pet that was raised. Mu Qinghan also sighed that he finally escaped, he had just enjoyed half a day of freedom, and he was still a caged bird at the moment. But he also thought that the birds in this cage are all canaries, warblers, pigeons and other precious things, which are the tips of the master's heart, looking at his own body, forget it, not worthy.

However, the man on the ice bed in front of him is a match, at least judging from his clothes. Due to the newly installed Night Pearl, the secret room on the top floor was no longer as dim as when Mu Qinghan came up. He saw the iron-tired bow that he liked very much, and he saw the man on the ice bed.

He leaned on the cage pole and looked at it carefully, and felt that the man's face was really handsome. He was alone, and the man couldn't help but sigh like this. Looking at it from a distance, he wanted to be asleep, but he screamed several times in a row, but he didn't see the man respond. Just looking at it carefully, he always felt that this person's eyebrows were quite similar to Chunyu Xianzhong, which made him extremely unhappy in his heart, but he secretly guessed what the relationship between this person and Chunyu Xianzhong was. After all, at this point, he needs to know more.

That night, Mu Qinghan was hungry in his stomach, thinking that since he was separated from Tang Mingyin that day, he had not eaten a day. But in addition to the jewelry that you can't see and touch, there is a bucket of water that is changed once a day, and of course, there is a dung bucket, which is relatively often changed. However, Chun Yu Xianzhong came to see it in the afternoon, and he still felt that there was a dung bucket here, and it was still dirty. But he was in a hurry, after all, there was a shortage of manpower inside at the moment, and there was a large army outside, and this was the safest place he could think of.

At this time, Mu Qinghan heard a noise on the roof of the building, and then listened carefully to make sure that it was not wind and rain. I thought to myself, it's finally here. Otherwise, I thought it was really given for nothing this time. Soon he saw several tiles uncovered from the roof. A dark shadow flashed and landed next to Mu Qinghan.

"Is it all time now? I don't think I'm there yet. Mu Qinghan thought that he could only open the mechanism on the roof of the building through the moonlight, and he was still thinking that today was the first day of the new year, and there might not be moonlight. But I only heard the man say: "The mechanism is gone, and now the shape of the roof of this building has been fixed, just like a normal sneak in." But here'......"

Mu Qinghan listened to her, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to become so many here." And it's so transparent and bright, there's not a little spark in sight. ”

However, this person's eyes were already fixed on the man on the Xuan Bing bed. "Who's it?"

Mu Qinghan said that he didn't know either, but through Chun Yu Xianzhong's reaction, it should be important to him. But the man didn't continue Mu Qinghan's topic at all, but just said nymphomaniac: "This person is so handsome!" ”

"Oh, woman!" Mu Qinghan said that his teammate is in prison here at the moment, but she is coveting men here. This was irritating, so he said, "Miss Meng, do you know what you are here for? ”

"Yes, let's see where you're being held and what you're getting out of it."

"No, you don't know, otherwise you wouldn't be spending your precious time committing nymphomaniac here."

Meng Zhichu then said, "Then what did you find?" ”

"I found that I didn't find anything, and to say that there really was, it was a feeling."

"What does it feel?"

Mu Qinghan pointed to the man lying down: "Wangyunlou exists for him." ”

However, Chun Yu Xianzhong had no time to care about his speculation for the time being, and in the next few days, Liu Chunqing attacked the city many times, but Chun Yu Xianshu's reinforcements were delayed. On the contrary, Liu Chunqing had already set up a trebuchet, and Chun Yu Xianzhong's strategy of relying on artillery to repel the enemy soldiers became more and more difficult.

However, Xiyue had enough food and grass and was not afraid of siege, and with the help of the purple-robed Marriott secret technique, while the two armies were fighting at the city gate, he led the palace guards to recapture the Canghe Water Village, so Liu Chunqing changed from a sneak attack to a complete siege battle. Chun Yu Xianzhong forcibly recruited the strong men in the city at this time, forcing them to go to the city tower to defend, and the city was full of complaints for a while.

And Liu Chunqing's 20,000-strong army surrounded Xiyue City, as if he was not worried at all, and Chun Yu Xianshu or Yang Nanpu came to rescue. Soon half a month passed, and on the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, Liu Chunqing sent a messenger to say that the two sides had to strike for a day, but with the lesson of the last time, both sides did not relax their vigilance.

And he came to the top floor of Wangyun Tower, just like during the New Year.

Hearing the sound of the elevator, Mu Qinghan was still very excited. It should be that in the past ten days, in addition to the person who has not woken up on this Xuanbing bed, he is the person who delivers the meal. Occasionally, there is a "snitch" on the top floor who comes to visit by moonlight. No one else was seen again.

Chun Yu Xianzhong entered the room and ignored Mu Qinghan, who was killing people with his eyes on the side. Instead, he walked directly to the Xuan Bing bed and looked at it for a while.
