Of course, Yuan Junqian was unlucky, not because he was unlucky, but because he made mistakes again and again, mistakes on mistakes, and he was too wrong; It is because he directly or indirectly deprived too many people of their freedom and took too many lives in the era of non-war.

Like the current generals of the Quartet, Yuan Junqian is bound to lose his official position, cut his title, and lose all power; But the difference is that even if Yuan Junqian was lucky enough to save his life, his freedom would definitely not be saved.

However, the funny thing is that once upon a time, Yuan Junqian was also part of the fight for freedom. But I don't know when everything is no longer the same?

In the seventeenth year of Kunqian, the twenty-seventh day of February, Qingming.

Overnight, the wind was harmonious, and the sun was clear.

In the imperial capital of the Celestial Dynasty, in the imperial city, the crown prince and grandson Xianye ascended the throne in the palace, changed the year name "Kun Qian" to "Changming", and changed the "seventeen years of Kun Qian" to "the first year of Changming", thus ending the "Kun Qian" era that had gone through seventeen years of ups and downs.

It's a pity that at this moment, after all, there is no witness from the person in his heart, and the former Gu Liangsheng has long since disappeared.

At the beginning of the sunset, under the dark mountain of the Celestial Empire, there was no intoxicating sunset, nor a bright sunset, only the still dazzling afterglow of the remnant sun, which mercilessly hit Zhong Daxuan, who was wandering and pacing around the bluestone slab, in the face.

However, it is such a prosaic scene that runs through Yu Yin's life, and also runs through Zhong Daxuan's life.

Zhong Daxuan finally came as promised, but unfortunately, he was a step late and missed a few days.

However, between Yu Yin and Zhong Daxuan, how can the late stop at this step? And it's not just these days?

And at this moment, here, Zhong Daxuan couldn't help but recall the past, recalling the situation when he first met Yu Yin here; And Yu Yin was also here at that time, reminiscing about the past. Although I can no longer get back the emotion I was touched when I first met, the feeling of heartbeat from many years ago is still strong today.

Vaguely, Zhong Daxuan seemed to see the little man in the dark robe again, smiling at him.

At this moment, Zhong Daxuan couldn't help but think: How much did that little man in a dark robe invisibly bring me a touch?

As for how much Yu Yin moved Zhong Daxuan invisibly, only Zhong Daxuan himself must know best!

However, what Zhong Daxuan didn't know was that he himself was invisible, and I don't know how much he was moved by the little man in the black robe!

In fact, Zhong Daxuan just wants Yu Yin to understand that when you Yu Yin encounters danger, it is never those who talk loudly about music, nor those who talk and laugh with you and laugh at the present, but me, Zhong Daxuan.

In fact, Zhong Daxuan just wants everyone in the world to understand that in times of life and death, only he, Zhong Daxuan, has the ability to open a bridge for Yu Yin and help Yu Yin turn danger into a disaster.

Although doing this is still very tiring, it is still beyond the scope of Zhong Daxuan's energy to bear, but he still decided to persevere, who made Zhong Daxuan just can't let go?

Accustomed to the life of Yu Yin by his side, Zhong Daxuan couldn't let go for a while, which was normal. After a long time, you get used to it and get used to it, maybe you can let it go.

However, Zhong Daxuan didn't plan to let go at all, and at this moment, he was full of longing, and he was even more determined in his thoughts. Although he was tired and tired of it, as long as he breathed a sigh of relief and lifted a little spirit, Zhong Daxuan would never ignore Yu Yin like this.

At this time, Zhong Daxuan desperately wanted to do something for Yu Yin to make up for the damage caused to Yu Yin by his impulsive departure. And at this time, Yu Yin happened to really need Zhong Daxuan to do something for him; Or rather, for Yu Yin, there will be no more time than this time when Zhong Daxuan needs to do something for him.

Half a month later, in the first year of Changming, March 11.

In the territory of the Celestial Empire, when the Celestial Empire army was marching towards the Vermilion Bird Pass, a young Suzaku Pass guard rode his horse and whipped his horse, and came to report the battle situation of the Suzaku Pass to the commander of the Celestial Empire army, Cheng Qilu, who was the imperial lieutenant.

This young Suzaku guard, as soon as he saw the figure of Cheng Qilu stopping at his horse from a distance, he immediately pulled the reins of the horse, then jumped off the horse, and ran all the way to Cheng Qilu, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and knelt down on one knee to present it to Cheng Qilu.

I only heard this young general report to Cheng Qi Lu Yu while presenting the paperwork: "Report - Cheng Taiwei, the Suzaku Pass has now been lost, and the general Suzaku and the vanguard led by him who had rushed back from the imperial capital before, after several battles with the Qi army, they are now outnumbered and defeated one after another; Defeated and retreating, they are now gathering ten miles west of the front, and they are urgently waiting for Cheng Taiwei to go to meet and discuss the next effective strategy against the enemy. ”

After listening to the young general's report, Cheng Qilu took the document presented by the young general's hands suspiciously, hoping to distinguish whether what the young general in front of him said was true.

And this paper document is the current Suzaku Admiral's codex, which clearly and unambiguously introduces the battle situation inside and outside Suzaku Pass, as well as the predicament of the vanguard of the Celestial Empire led by him at this moment.

Of course, even a codex is very likely to be forged, but this paper document cannot be forged. Because at the end of the document, it is clearly and conspicuously unreproducible with the bright red Suzaku seal.

And Cheng Qilu could recognize the mark of the Vermilion Bird Seal with his eyes closed and dreaming, and at the same time, he happened to recognize the handwriting of the Quartet General; In addition, there has always been an unwritten rule among the successive generals of the Quartet, that is, "the chapter is in the people, and the chapter is dead"; Therefore, Cheng Qilu, who is well aware of this, has no doubts about the authenticity of this paper document.

And the facts have proved that Cheng Qilu's judgment is correct and accurate; And the young general who came to Yang Sha to submit documents and report the battle situation is undoubtedly worthy of deep belief.

"This is indeed a document drafted by Admiral Suzaku himself, what do you call it?" Cheng Qilu asked the young general.

"If you go back to Lord Taiwei, the last general will be the Suzaku guard - Sun Jinyu." The young general replied truthfully.

Cheng Qi Lu Wenzhi, nodded, and continued: "Now that the Qi army is pressing, even if the soldiers under the command of General Suzaku are one enemy and one hundred, they are really outnumbered; That's why I deliberately led the army of the Celestial Empire to rush to support General Suzaku, intending to recapture Suzaku Pass, but I don't know what the situation is on the side of the Qi army. ”

When Sun Jinyu heard this, he immediately informed Yu Cheng Qilu and said: "Lord Taiwei, the Qi army is now marching to our side, and it is expected that its vanguard will march to Plaice Mountain in the first half of tomorrow. ”

"Plaice Mountain? But how many times did you roll down a large number of rocks? Cheng Qilu frowned and asked Sun Jinyu.

"Back to Lord Taiwei's words, exactly." Sun Jinyu replied with a word of gold.

"Junior General Sun, do you have a little understanding of the mountains of this Plaice Mountain and the terrain around it?" Cheng Qilu continued to ask Sun Jinyu.

"Back to Lord Taiwei's words, understand." Sun Jinyu replied with a lot of regret.

"Then you can tell me more carefully." Cheng Qilu ordered Sun Jinyu to say.

"Yes, Captain Cheng." After Sun Jinyu responded, he no longer hesitated to say to Cheng Qilu in detail, "This plaice mountain is a natural barrier between the Celestial Empire and the Qi country, so whether our army wants to go to the Qi country, or the Qi country wants to march to our Celestial Empire, we must cross this flounder mountain, and naturally we must also pass through the top of the flounder mountain." And this plaice mountain, the mountain is steep, the caves and ravines are numerous, and the cliffs are mostly precipitous; One of the steepest cliffs, called 'Tear Cliff', happens to be located on the top of Plaice Mountain, and the deep valley under the cliff is called 'Broken Dust Valley'. ”

After Cheng Qilu listened to Sun Jinyu's detailed introduction to Plaice Mountain, he watched Cheng Qilu's originally tightly knit brows gradually relax, only to hear Cheng Qilu ask Sun Jinyu again and again: "Sun Xiaojiang, if we accelerate at our current position, when can we expect to arrive at this Plaice Mountain?" Can we be one step ahead of the vanguard of the Naqi army? ”

"Captain Cheng asked like this, isn't it that Captain Cheng already has a strategy for the enemy in his heart?" The clever Sun Jinyu speculated and asked Cheng Qilu.

"You're smart! To tell you the truth, after listening to your introduction, I feel that the mountain of this flounder mountain is very favorable to us; And I did have a strategy in my mind against the enemy, and as for whether it is effective and whether it needs to be implemented, it needs to be further considered. Cheng Qilu responded truthfully to Sun Jinyu.

"Captain Cheng, the Plaice Mountain is not far from here, and now that it is getting late, we can first meet with the Suzaku Admiral who is waiting ten miles ahead, and consider it carefully, and think about it in the long run; Then they were stationed on the spot and set up camp. Wait until dawn tomorrow, when we start again, and we will still be able to reach the vanguard of the Xianqi army in one step. Sun Jinyu carefully proposed to Cheng Qilu.

Sun Jinyu is clear and thoughtful, Cheng Qilu is very pleased when he hears his proposal, and at the same time, he is naturally willing to accept Sun Jinyu's proposal.

So, I only heard Cheng Qilu take the opportunity to boost morale and say: "It's okay, let the soldiers recuperate and rest all night tonight; At dawn tomorrow, the whole army will set off on time and go straight to the top of Flounder Mountain. The summit of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we can occupy it before the vanguard of the Qi army, and when the Qi army approaches, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop and destroy it without much effort. ”

At this moment, when Yu Yin on the side heard this, he suddenly felt frightened, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel worried about the two sides who were going to fight on the top of the mountain tomorrow.

Cheng Qilu came here to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and prevent future troubles, but the ambitious Gu Liang Anzu was still obsessed and insisted on going his own way.
