In order to fight the battle of Hexi, the emperor hurriedly transferred Xiao Han to Beijing.

But Xiao Han said that he had a recurrence of his old illness and regretted that he could not serve His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time resigned from the post of General of Zhuguo.

The emperor did not approve it.

Xiao Han disappeared.

Where Xiao Han went, no one knows, since he disappeared, the fifty generals who accompanied Emperor Zhide into Sichuan at the beginning, and now there are only seven people who are still active in the military world. Pawn Punishment, Pawn Han, Pawn Xiao, Bai Ke, Fan Zhenyu, Cen Shen, Cao Poyu.

What about the others?

Either they were killed by Bai Chongguang, or they were erased from their military positions, in short, they would not easily appear in the army, but looking at the remaining seven people, Tang Yuan suddenly felt a little strange, except for Cen Shen and Cao Poyu, everyone else seemed to have more or less intersections with the queen. Among them, the three brothers of the Dian clan have rebelled.

The only famous generals around the emperor are Cen Shen and Cao Poyu, can this work?

"When has this been, are you still worried about the emperor?" Kong said strangely.

"The closer I get to Luoyang, the more I have the feeling that everything seems to be arranged. Alas, Kong Xian, do you think there is such a possibility that all this was planned by Zhao Ce and Tang Qi? ”

"What you mean is that the young couple is the same heart at all."

"I mean if."

"If that's the case......"

"We're probably all done." Tang Yuan said pessimistically.

Kong Xian lowered his head, not knowing what he was calculating, raised his head and said: "I just said that the famous generals of the Liang Dynasty are less than half, but I have roughly calculated, and most of the ninth- and eighth-rank generals who remain in the military world are in our army. Bai Ke, Chen Bao, and Tang Hu must be nine-rank generals, and you can't say it very well, you don't often rush to the front in normal battles, so you can't see what level you are. For the time being, I will look at you as an eight-pin. Your men, that's a terrible thing. Yue Pu, Fu Ying, and Nahetutu are all quasi-eight-grade, and even your godson Ma Ben has been promoted to eight-grade. Keeping a force like yours is still not very friendly to you, isn't this a clear intention to make you rebel? ”

Tang Yuan knocked on the table: "But I was led by Tang Qi, I won't rebel, I don't want to rebel, there must be a reason for a war, I said at the beginning that I don't want to participate in the civil war, but unfortunately, I later became the main force in the civil war, and even became the key hand in deciding the outcome of the war for a time." And what I am thinking about is not the emperor, but the queen. Bai Ke and Wang Tianpeng are too. We all feel that we have a backer, and as long as the backer doesn't fall, we won't fall. But if the backer and the emperor are originally in open and secret agreement, so what? The emperor used Bai Chongguang to clean up the Tang family, Xiao Han, Zhang Zhikui, Wan Lin, Huang Ying, Han Dang, Fan Chou, and Huang Wanli, and on the surface, the queen protected us, so he didn't move us. ”

"If it's a couple, why would they do it?" Kong said: "Then let me ask you, if Tang Qi asks you to overthrow the emperor, will you push it?" ”

"Overthrow the emperor...," Tang Yuan hesitated: "Although Emperor Zhide is a little ruthless now, how many capable emperors of all dynasties are not ruthless?" The emperor is not ruthless, can he sit firmly? Especially like Emperor Zhide, he is simply a founding emperor, there are too many people under his command who can fight, and there are too many people with high prestige in the army, and he will not be at peace if he is the emperor. Actually, I can quite understand Zhao Ce, if it were me, if I wanted the imperial power to be stable, I would find a person like Bai Chongguang. Let him toss around first, and when he is almost done, he will put the hat of the indiscriminate killer on his head, and then kill him. In this way, it will more or less alleviate some of my sins. In order to exclude dissidents, characters like Bai Chongguang have appeared in many eras, such as Lai Junchen in Wu Zetian's era, this mad dog is doing nonsense, isn't it Wu Zetian's deliberate connivance? When the dog is so crazy that he doesn't even know him, his good days are over. No matter how much he tossed, he couldn't toss the palm of the emperor's hand. As long as the military power is in the hands of the emperor, everything is under the control of the emperor. Even now, if a few of us can fight again, what can we do? The emperor has 760,000 Xuanjia troops under his command, all ironclad troops, and we still can't defeat them. Except for the Xuanjia Army, all the generals stationed in the border are all the emperor's people. Counting them, the emperor has more than a million people under his command, and they are all elite troops. ”

In the middle of September of the 11th year of Zhide, Bai Ke Youzhou Army, Tang Yuan Flying Tiger Army, and Wang Tianpeng Tiger Army, a total of 220,000 people, entered the revolving gate.

The three meritorious generals were welcomed by the people, and the scene was warm.

The three generals were all smiling and waving to the people.

They are dressed in gilded armor, with tall horses under their crotch, dragons and tigers, majestic, why are the general's horses so tall? It is two heads taller than the usual prairie horse. And the general is also physically strong, handsome, and looks quite young, which is really likable.

Especially when I saw the Flying Tiger Army, I also heard the screams of the girl. Sure enough, Tang Yuan, the general of the Flying Tiger, was exactly the same as the white-faced general described in the script, and he was so handsome that the girls couldn't suppress their excitement.

Oh, who is this guy? It's Tang Hu, good guy, the Black Iron Tower is average, is this still a human? It looks more like a black bear riding on horseback, and General Tiger's horse is simply surprisingly big, I'm afraid it will cost two thousand catties.

The people were very happy, but the generals who smiled and waved to the people were not happy in their hearts, and they could be called mixed. This time, when I entered Beijing, I will not be able to leave alive.

When he came to Luoyang East Thirty Mile Pavilion, a Zhonglang general in the Xuanjia Army came to greet him, and Tang Yuan, Bai Ke, and Wang Tianpeng didn't even know this young Zhonglang general.

He demanded that the three generals immediately stop and stay where they were.

The tone is quite tough.

Tang Yuan said to Kong Xian: "See, His Majesty the Emperor has cultivated a large number of such generals, they are loyal to the emperor, although their ability to command large troops may not be as good as ours, but as long as the emperor gives an order, 760,000 people will rush over without hesitation." ”

Kong Xian bowed his head and was silent.

That night, someone suddenly came to report that a female general had broken into the camp with an arrogant attitude and a gold medal on her body, and the soldiers did not dare to stop her, and broke into the headquarters all the way.

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to see that it was Hu Orchid.

When Hu Lanhua saw Tang Yuan, she was willing to jump off the war horse, she didn't know the new General Staff General of the Flying Tiger Army, Kong Xie, and even pushed Kong Xian out of the tent directly.

Hu Lanhua is taller, and she is stronger than Kong and this scholar, so she was pushed by her.

It's so arrogant, it's so arrogant.

Kong Xian was about to glare, but was persuaded by Tang Yuan to withdraw.

Hu Lanhua turned around and said, "Take Bai Ke and Wang Tianpeng to see the queen." ”

"Where's the Queen?"

"The queen is still in the tunnel, she will send your son, Bai Ke's son, and Wang Tianpeng's pregnant daughter-in-law out."

"She's ......" Tang Yuan was stunned: "You're going to rebel?" ”

"What nonsense!" Hu Lanhua said indignantly: "I haven't seen you for many years, you are still the same, you love to be blind all day long, and you don't look like a man." ”

"You talk well!"

"Hey, let me ask you, how many sons have you given birth to outside over the years?"

"What's the mess? I gave birth to myself? ”

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, you think I don't know? I also came out of the barracks, don't you senior generals like Jinwu Zangjiao? I heard that there is a beautiful girl surnamed You by your side, where is the little fox hiding? Shout it out and let me see. ”

"Go, go, go! When has this been, and is it still poor with me? Tang Yuan really has no problem with this fellow, "Where is Tang Qi, take me quickly." ”

"You go to Bai Ke and Wang Tianpeng first."

"Okay, you'll wait for me right here."

"No, I'm going with you."

"Why? I think I'll just do it myself. ”

"No, I miss you so much, I haven't seen you for years, I want to go with you."

"Hey, don't be numb, okay?"

The orchid girl was more open than Tang Yuan, and she hugged Tang Yuan and didn't let go.

She muttered that this meeting might be the last time we met. Reluctant to separate.

——

In the middle of the night, the three generals sneaked into the tunnel.

"Where's the Queen? How did she get out? ”

Tang Yuan was most afraid of three places.

One is the deep water area, which will make him feel that his heart is in his throat, and there is some irresistible beast hidden in the bottomless abyss, which can swallow people in one bite, if there are still waves here, it will be even more terrifying.

There is also the fact that the higher ground can make him feel dizzy.

In the end, it was this kind of confined and narrow space, as soon as he came to this narrow tunnel, Tang Yuan felt that his breathing was miserable, and he couldn't breathe. It's hard to describe, it's always inexplicably terrifying.

"Inside."

Hu Lanhua climbed in front, Bai Ke followed behind, Wang Tianpeng followed Bai Ke with grinning teeth, Tang Yuan fell behind, and he talked the most.

After crawling for about a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a light in front of me.

Fortunately, there is a secret room with a considerable space in it, which is said to be an ancient tomb that was accidentally dug up when digging a tunnel.

Tang Qi sat on a stone, with two children standing beside him, and a woman with a big belly, the woman was very beautiful, it should be the woman Wang Tianpeng thought of for a long time. But ......, Tang Yuan calculated the time and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Wang Tianpeng hasn't been back to Luoyang for a long time, and his little daughter-in-law ...... How can you get pregnant? If you calculate the time carefully, it's still too late.

But Wang Tianpeng didn't show any surprise, and shook his head with a smile, it seems that this kid has secretly returned to Luoyang, or has he secretly brought his daughter-in-law to Youzhou? He can't be ignorant, right? It's impossible, he's three years older than Tang Qi, how can he not understand!

This Wang Tianpeng sometimes looks like Wang Caotian, and sometimes he doesn't look like it at all.

When there was a war, there was a fierce force, and it was very fierce. But when he's not fighting, he's an unserious guy. It stands to reason that he and Tang Qi are really related by blood, because his grandmother and Tang Qi's grandmother are cousins. This is not surprising, Qi Dongyang and Wang Caotian are good buddies, and it is not surprising that their daughters-in-law are relatively close. But in their generation, the relationship between relatives is much farther away, but Wang Tianpeng always says that Tang Qi is his eldest cousin. This is not very suitable, and the eight poles are at most cousins.

Wang Tianpeng saw his beloved wife and was about to speak, when Tang Qi waved his hand and asked Hu Lanhua to take the two children and the woman away.

It's been a long time since he saw his son, Tang Yuan was very excited, the father looked even more excited than the child, but the place where the child was was dark and he couldn't recognize which child was his. I can't help but feel a little guilty. When I looked closely, the children had already been taken away by the orchid.

Tang Qi himself stayed behind to face the three generals.

The three generals glanced at each other and were about to salute at the same time, but Tang Qi said: "The three generals don't have to salute me, I only accept military salutes." ”

Bai Ke and Tang Yuan clenched their fists with their right hands and slapped their left shoulders three times, which was still the military salute that Tang Qi asked for when he was temporarily in the Fourth Recruit Division of the Third Army of the Northern Expedition. Wang Tianpeng also grew up in the Shence Army, so he is naturally no stranger to this military salute.

"To tell you the truth, my current situation is also very dangerous, His Majesty the Emperor and I have long been separated, and we will not hesitate to fight in order to seize power. Your family is still alive and well, and I think you should understand who protected them. I have a killer under me, his name is Cao Feihu, he is a good person, very capable of doing things, Bai Chongguang does not dare to provoke your family. However, now it is different, I ask you to openly resist the emperor, and it will be difficult for your family to be saved. ”

Bai Ke said: "Do you want to fight Luoyang?" ”

"That's not good, you can't beat Luoyang."

"What then?"

"Go and rendezvous with the executioner."

"Pawn ......"

"Yes, the pawn is also my man."

In other words, the empress controlled the two chokepoints in the northeast and northwest at the same time, and now the empress and the emperor were becoming more and more divided, and the empress felt that there was a tendency to be divided, so she had to take the risk of merging the two forces together.

Faced with this result, Bai Ke was the first to express his position.

Tang Qi nodded with satisfaction, and asked Hu Lanhua to take Bai Ke's son out and let Bai Ke go.

Then Wang Tianpeng made a statement, and Tang Qi took the woman away with Wang Tianpeng.

In the end, Tang Yuan was left.

Tang Yuan said: "On the way here, Hu Lanhua said that you asked me to talk less after we met. Now there are no outsiders. ”

"I didn't bring your son out."

Speechless.

Tang Yuan had a headache, and he didn't care about etiquette, Tang Qi sat on an epitaph, and he even found an epitaph and sat down.

The epitaph in this tomb was originally two layers above and below, and it is unknown who overturned the upper layer of stones, and then never put it back.

Tang Yuan sat on the stone and was angry.

Obviously, Tang Yuan was very dissatisfied.

Tang Qi suddenly smiled: "But I brought the prince to you." ”

"What?! Prince? ”

"I think you'll feel more at ease by handing over my son to you."

"What, listen to the tone, you're not going with us?"

"I'm the queen, can I go with you?"

"Then what did you give the prince to me for?"

Tang Qi didn't speak.

Tang Yuan looked up at Tang Qi, under the dim light, Tang Qi's big smart eyes were still bright, even bright.

There is always a touch of mystery in the eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling.

Suddenly I felt that this woman was so scary.

Tang Yuan pinched his fingers, suddenly raised his head and said, "I have a question for you." ”

"Ask."

"All this...... Did you discuss it with the emperor? ”

Tang Qi was shocked and silent.

Tang Yuan said: "Don't be afraid, whether it is or not, I will support you." If not, I will help you fight against the emperor, check and balance the emperor, and support the crown prince. If you negotiate it,......, I will also help you bring these people to Hexi. I will die with my brothers. And the crown prince ......, is he really the prince? Where are you hiding, my son? Don't tell me he's still in the East Palace! I don't believe it! ”

"Tang Yuan, you are bold! Dare to talk to the queen mother like this, where is the courtesy of the monarch and the minister! ”
