Hou Junji finished reading the piece of paper that was no more than the size of a palm, and his expression was strange and he was stunned for a long time for a cup of tea.

Finally came back to his senses, he immediately put the paper on the oil lamp and burned it to ashes, and then looked at Princess Wencheng without saying a word, staring at her so much that his heart was furious.

"General Hou, why are you looking at me like this?" Li Xueyan was not afraid, but was just surprised, and was even more curious to know the content of the note.

"Nothing." Hou Junji turned his eyes around twice, and said in a flat tone, "It turns out that the young marshal has long known that he has been poisoned, so he has made many arrangements in advance. ”

"Huh?" Li Xueyan couldn't help but exclaim, "He...... Really poisoned? ”

"You should know better than I do when you stay by his side day and night." Hou Junji said indifferently, but an ambiguous look flashed in his eyes.

Li Xueyan naturally heard the deep meaning of his words, and didn't feel a little blushing, so she didn't say anything more, and asked for her leave.

"Don't be in a hurry." Hou Junji suddenly stopped her and said to her, "If you want to save the young marshal's life, you have to rely on you." ”

"Rely on me?" Li Xueyan blinked her eyes a few times in confusion and said, "Even Su Lianqing, a great expert in medicine and drugs, is helpless, what can I do?" ”

"Don't ask now, you come with me." After that, Hou Junji took her out.

"Where to go?"

"You'll find out as soon as you come."

The two went straight to the camp behind the handsome tent, where Zhang Tong personally guarded it, and stopped Hou Junji with a cold face and did not let him enter.

"General Zhang, if you want to save the young marshal's life, please let someone in." Hou Junji said in a low voice.

Zhang Tong was slightly stunned, and looked at Li Xueyan suspiciously. Li Xueyan had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, General Hou, please, the last general will personally lead the way!"

"Do you know where I'm going?" Hou Junji asked rhetorically.

"Didn't you go to see the young marshal?"

"I'm going to judge the Tibetan work myself, Derge? Dampa Wangjie! ”

“…… Okay, please! ”

Hou Jun gathered into the inconspicuous hut where Danba Wangjie was being held, threw everyone out, entered the house alone, locked the door, and guarded no one to come within ten zhang.

After Qin Mubai's accident, Danba Wangjie became the first suspect of poisoning. Now he is tied to the pillar of the house with five flowers, and his body is covered with whip marks, and it seems that he has passed out.

Hou Junji walked up to him, but he didn't react.

"General Weiru, Derge? Dampa Wangjie! Hou Junji said in his ear, "Don't pretend, I know you can hear me." ”

Danba Wangjie really raised his head slightly, and his eyes covered by his messy hair had also opened, and he said coldly, "Don't bother." I didn't give the poison, and I don't have an antidote. ”

"I know it's not you, and I'm not here to ask you for an antidote." Hou Junji looked at him with a smile and said.

In the past two days, Danba Wangjie has seen too many horizontal eyebrows and eaten too many leather whip torture tools, which can be said to be worse than death. But despite this, I have seen many people in the world for a long time, and I have never felt much hopelessness. But now, the man in front of him neither roared nor tortured, but only had a mean sneer in his coldness, which actually made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.

"Who are you? What do you want?! Demba Wangjie asked loudly.

"Hou Junji." He still just smiled.

"It turned out to be the famous Hou Junji, I know you!" Danba Wangjie looked at him a little surprised, and said, "In the past, you were one of the best generals in the Tang Dynasty, but now, you are Qin Mubai's right-hand man!" - What do you want to do when you come to me? ”

"I'm looking for you to borrow something." Hou Junji said.

"I said it, I don't have an antidote! Poison, I didn't order it! Danba Wangjie shouted a little angrily, "Instead of poisoning Qin Mubai, I killed the assassin who was going to assassinate him!" Is that how you treat your friends? ”

"Friends?" Hou Junji laughed a few times, "How can you hide it from me if you have such a bitter plan?" Don't think that by killing a few insignificant minions, you can deceive us into trust. Tell you, Qin Mubai is not as stupid as you think; I, Hou Junji, have not lived in vain for decades. ”

Danba Wangjie shook his head and struggled angrily, like a trapped lion roaring, "What do you need me to believe me?" - I am Zampu's secret envoy, and I am here to negotiate a peace alliance! Not an assassin, not a craftsman! ”

"Shut up, or I'll cut your tongue." Hou Junji's cold words made Danba Wangjie stop suddenly.

"It doesn't matter to us, whether you're an assassin or an emissary." Hou Junji smiled a little treacherously, even a little gloomy, and said meaningfully, "You, do you understand?" ”

"......" Danba Wangjie was speechless for a moment, he stared at Hou Junji with wide eyes, and muttered, "So, Qin Mubai doesn't have the slightest sincerity to talk about peace and strike the army?" ”

"Even if he suffers from madness and agrees, his dead father's spirit in heaven does not agree; The 100,000 brothers of Dafeichuan will not agree. The corners of Hou Junji's mouth rose, and he said slowly, "I'm telling you this, just to let you lend me something with peace of mind." ”

Danba Wangjie's expression suddenly dimmed. He sighed and lowered his head, and said, "Isn't it just a human head?" Take it! If Danba Wangjie fails to complete Zampu's mission, he deserves death! ”

"I'm sure I won't kill you, you'll live to see your Zamp again." Hou Junji said, suddenly pulled out a bright dagger from his combat boots, patted it on Danba Wangjie's face, and said, "Your long ears with copper rings are not bad, cut them, lend them to me." ”

The words fell, the hands rose and fell, and the blood flowed!

Danba Wangjie gritted his teeth to the bone, but he didn't scream.

"It's a man." Hou Junji picked the copper ring ear with the tip of the knife and said, "In the past, Hou would be interested in drinking two glasses with you to make friends." But you didn't show up at the right time. ”

With that, Hou Junji turned around and left.

"Wait, you stop!" Dampa Wangjie suddenly exclaimed, "You want my ears...... What is it for? ”

Hou Junji also paused, looked back and smiled, and said, "You are such a smart person, do you still want me to say it?" ”

"Are you going to send my ears to the big tent to show Zamp and Marshal Gar?" Demba Wangjie said.

"You guessed it." Hou Junji grinned, "Not only your ears, but also eleven finely made human heads." Of course, it's not just to look at, I'm going to use them in exchange for the antidote to the young marshal! ”

"Despicable! Shameless! Danba Wangjie roared angrily, "I didn't poison at all, so where to start with the antidote!" - You are sowing discord between Zampu and Marshal Gar! ”

"You guessed it again." Hou Junji was still laughing, shaking his ears with the tip of his knife, and said, "Don't you also want to separate the young marshal from the imperial court?" In the other way, give back to the other! Also, there is no despicable and shameless saying about marching and fighting, only 'going to the army to fight' and 'soldiers are not tired of cheating'! ”

"Shameless! Shameless Han Chinese!! Shameless!! ”

Hou Junji didn't pay any more attention to it, and strode away, leaving Danba Wangjie's roar far behind. Later, he sent for the heads of the eleven Tibetans to be taken and packed in a large box, and then in a delicate small box to contain the ears of Dampa Wangjie. After everything was ready, he went to meet Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan in person.

The two discussed for a while, and after listening to Hou Junji's words, Li Xueyan was surprised, "Let me go to the Tubo camp as an envoy?" ”

"What, you're scared?" Hou Junji sneered defiantly, "If you are afraid, I will choose another person." ”

"As long as I can get the antidote back and save Mu Bai's life, I don't care if I go to the soup and the fire." Li Xueyan said confusedly, "I'm just wondering, why me?" ”

"Because...... Among the 100,000 people in Dafeichuan, you have the most weight. Hou Junji said, "Also, you are most concerned about Qin Mubai's life and death, and you are the one who saw his poisonous hair with your own eyes, the most convincing." ”

"I understand...... Li Xueyan took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and nodded firmly, "I'll go!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that the Tibetans will detain you, or kill you, or use some other despicable means against you?" Hou Junji asked tentatively and provocatively.

"If you can't get the antidote back, Mu Bai will definitely die." Li Xueyan said lightly, "If the Tubo people have half a different move, the snow goose will be the only one who will die!" On Huangquan Road, also be a companion with Mu Bai! ”

"Good. That way, you can go. Hou Junji turned around, cut his hands behind his back, and said, "Your trip is both public and private." One is the man you were looking forward to in your dreams, and the other is the man you are in love with now. In between, it's not bad for you to make your own decisions. ”

Li Xueyan was a little embarrassed at first, and then a little puzzled, "General Hou, this is not like what you said?" ”

"Why doesn't it look like it?" Hou Junji turned his head and smiled slightly, and said, "Could it be that Hou has no flesh and blood soul and does not eat fireworks in the world?" ”

"I ...... That's not what it means! I actually want to ask, is this Mu Bai's instruction or arrangement? ”

"Needless to say. Get ready and go! ”

“…… Good! ”

Soon after, Qin Mu was in the white room.

Li Xueyan gently sat down on Qin Mubai's sickbed, carefully wiped Qin Mubai's face with a hot towel, and said, "Mubai, I am going to send an envoy to the Tubo camp to help you with the antidote." Although I know that this is all your arrangement, and you must have a reason for how you want to arrange it, I am very confused now, and I don't know if this is a fake show or a real thing...... Maybe it doesn't matter, you're lying in front of my eyes, unconscious, and in danger, that's the real thing. I don't want to think about anything anymore, whether the antidote exists or not, I'd rather believe it than believe it, and I'm desperate to go this time......"

"I remembered the stories of the Buddhist family that you heard from Master Seishon of the Tennoji Temple. You are right, the most precious thing in the world is not what you can't get and what you have lost, but the happiness that you can grasp in front of you. But often, people have to pay a lot of money to understand this simple truth. ”

"Do you know how much I want to see you standing in front of me like you used to? Even if you don't talk nonsense seriously, even if you ignore me coldly or even yell, you scold and scold me...... Even if you know that I love you, you still pretend to be stupid and pretend not to know, and reject me thousands of miles away! ”

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face. But she didn't cry, just let the tears keep flowing, trickling down her cheeks along the arc.

Leaning down, a little hesitant, she closed her eyes and kissed Qin Mubai lightly on the lips.

"If you are sick, if I do not return; On Huangquan Road, take this as a letter! ”

"Don't see you, don't forget!"

……

An hour later, in front of the camp of the Tang army.

Princess Wencheng dressed in court attire, wore a palace gauze hat, and got into the carriage that was supposed to be used to send her married, ready to go to the Tubo camp. With them were only ten ironclad guards.

"General Hou, I'm going." Rolling up the car window, Li Xueyan said outside.

Hou Junji stood with his hands behind his back and nodded calmly.

"Dandan, you and Su Lianqing have to take good care of the young marshal and wait for me to come back." Li Xueyan said to Tantai Dandan outside the car again.

"The princess can go with confidence." "I should have gone with you." ”

"No need." Li Xueyan smiled, "If I can be safe and sound, even if I am alone; If I am destined not to return, it will be the same even if thousands of troops go together. So, you still stay and take care of your sister and Mu Bai! ”

"Hey! …… Take care, princess. Tantai Dandan sighed and hugged his fists.

At this moment, two eagle chirps were heard in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw two goshawks hovering in mid-air.

"It's the day of the eagle flight in September again......" Hou Junji said to himself, "it's a good time to fight and hunt." ”

"September?" Li Xueyan suddenly woke up and asked, "What day is today?" ”

"September 13."

Li Xueyan hurriedly retracted into the car, took out a small white bag from her body, and opened it to see.

It's still just a small note inside, and there's no text on the outside stating who it's addressed to. So Li Xueyan carefully opened it.

Seeing the above line of words, Li Xueyan suddenly had the urge to cry bitterly-

"In my previous life, I only put a cloak on your body; punish me in this life, and bury me at your grave. ”
