The autumn wind blows, the leaves are scattered, the geese fly south, and it is another year of autumn. A person and a horse walk alone in the depressed fields, this person is dressed ordinary but the air is magnificent, there is a righteousness between the eyebrows, the face is handsome, although it is the dress of ordinary people, but still can not hide the special light on his body, this person is the half-brother of Chen Shubao, the emperor of Chen State, Chen Shuyue, the word Xuanwu, known as the king of Guangling.

King Guangling led the horse back from the border inspection, and the housekeeper guard Chen Fang hurriedly ran over to lead the horse and asked, "Lord, are you back?" Dinner is ready, so let's wash up and eat! ”

King Guangling threw the reins and sword to Chen Fang and walked straight towards the tent, opened the curtain of the tent, Yang Guangxin, the left general, Huo Budu, the right general, and Gong Banxian, the military advisor, hurriedly saluted the king of Guangling: "See the prince." Chen Shuyue, the king of Guangling, hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, you and I are commensurate with each other, and here is far away from the imperial court, so you don't have to worry about these red tapes." King Guangling sat down and sighed, his brows furrowed. Military advisor Gong Banxian asked: "Lord Wang, do you know if your subordinates have something to say?" Can they be guilty? Chen Shuyue glanced at Gong Banxian and said: "Brother Gong, since you and I are brothers, you don't have to care so much, besides, we have known each other for so many years, so we don't have to be so restrained, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Gong Banxian stood up and stroked his beard and said: "Lord Wang, although it is true that we are commensurate with brothers, but you are a royal family, but we are just commoners in cloth clothes, everyone has to be loved by the prince to mix an official and a half-position, if the court knows, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the prince." ”

General Zuo Yang Guangxin stood up and said: "Yes, Lord Wang, although you don't treat your brothers as outsiders, but we still have to guard against this." ”

Chen Shuyue sighed again: "Hey, the country is not a country, the family is not a family, what is the use of all this red tape?" At this time, Chen Fang came in and said, "Lord Wang, it's time to eat." Chen Shuyue waved his hand and said, "You can eat, I can't eat it." With that, he stood up and walked out of the tent.

Chen Fang sighed and said, "Brothers, how do you say this is good?" The prince hasn't eaten for several days, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid he'll be sick! Ay! After finishing speaking, Chen Fang squatted on the ground and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Huo Budu walked over and patted Chen Fang and said: "Brother Chen Fang should be worried, the prince is for the country and the people, seeing that the people of Guangling have no harvest, the prince is sad, so naturally he has no intention of eating, as courtiers, we should share the burden, but the prince does not listen to our persuasion, it is useless for you to squat on the ground and cry, if you cry badly, then who will take care of the prince?" ”

Gong Banxian said: "The prince doesn't listen to our dissuasion? I thought that there was one person who could make the prince listen to him. ”

"Who?" Chen Fang and Huo Budu asked at the same time.

Gong Banxian laughed and said: "Haha, the prince loves the people and his son, and he values love and righteousness." When the emperor wanted to give the prince a concubine several times, the prince politely declined, do you know why? ”

Chen Fang said unhappily: "What kind of problem is this?" The prince doesn't want to marry again, everyone knows this. ”

"Yes, the prince doesn't want to marry again, but why don't you want to marry again?" Gong Banxian hurriedly asked.

Yang Guangxin hurriedly said: "The prince values love and righteousness, and I am afraid that Miss Shuyu will be sad and sad." ”

Gong Banxian stroked his beard again and said, "That's right." When the princess of Guangling was the most beloved person of the prince, the world knew that the girl Shuyu was a martial arts person, excellent martial arts, virtuous and dignified, resourceful, and deeply liked by the prince, but because of his humble birth, the emperor and the queen mother did not agree to this family business, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all opposed, so the prince left the court and the opposition, gave up the title, and went to the border to become a general who guarded the territory, stationed in the frontier all the year round, and could not enter the court casually without the emperor's will, so everyone still called him the prince, and all this is for the sake of the jade girl! ”

Yang Guangxin nodded and said: "That's right, the prince values love and righteousness, so we are willing to follow to the death, Chen Fang, you haven't followed the prince for a long time, and you don't understand the prince's temperament, and you will understand when you slowly understand the prince." ”

Huo Budu patted his head and said, "Oops! You have been talking for so long, isn't this person who can persuade the prince to eat is Miss Shuyu? ”

Gong Banxian and Yang Guangxin both smiled, and Chen Fang also patted his head and said, "Yes, yes!" How did I not think of that? Brother Huo, it seems that the two of us are too stupid, so I'll go find Miss Shuyu. He ran out.

When Huo Budu heard Chen Fang say that he was stupid, he shouted: "Boy, what are you talking about? Call me stupid and see how I clean you up. As he spoke, he chased him out.

Yang Guangxin and Gong Banxian couldn't stop laughing, and after a while, Yang Guangxin grabbed Gong Banxian's arm and whispered: "Brother Gong, how did you think about what I told you last night?" ”

Gong Banxian heard Yang Guangxin ask, his brows tightened, he looked around and said: "Brother Xian, this matter is not trivial, we dare not make our own decisions, although the prince and I are like brothers and sisters, but after all, this matter is about the country, changing the dynasty or establishing another Ming monarch is a big rebellion, brother, I still can't open my mouth." What if the prince is angry and embarrassed? If this matter fails, isn't it a great crime of rebellion against the prince and the unkind and unjust murderer of the king? ”

Yang Guangxin was also sweating on his forehead at this time, he wiped the beads of sweat and said: "But you see that the court is chaotic now, the chaotic ministers and thieves are in charge, and the emperor is addicted to wine, even if you and I die on the battlefield, it will not help?" Even if the prince is loyal, but the court does not send a single soldier, even if the Guangling army has three heads and six arms, it will not be able to resist it. ”

Gong Banxian didn't speak for a long time, he walked around the tent, thought for a while and said: "This matter is not trivial, you must not act rashly, no matter what, you still have to discuss it with the prince in the end, understand?" Yang Guangxin nodded. Gong Banxian said again: "Who else did you talk to about this besides you and me?" ”

Yang Guangxin said quietly: "Huo Budu, Zhao Huanong, Miao Xie Yu, Tian Shuibo. ”

"What?" Gong Banxian's eyes widened and said, "So many people know? Wouldn't it be that the news quickly let the court know, and what if the time comes, it will be said that the prince has rebelled? ”

Yang Guangxin said: "Actually, I'm also scared, but aren't you familiar with these people? They are all brothers who were born and died with you and me, and the loyalty to the prince can be seen by the sun and the moon, and besides, I have been talking about this for half a month, have you heard any rumors? ”

Gong Banxian shook his head and said: "I didn't hear any news, I didn't expect Huo Budu to be quite clear about major matters, it seems that I was too careful, but this matter is about the life of the prince, and besides, this matter has nothing to do with the prince from beginning to end, aren't we embarrassing the prince?" ”

Yang Guangxin said: "So we have to find the right time to explain this matter to the prince, if the prince has this intention, it is with everyone's intentions, if the prince is embarrassed, then the brothers will not be too much, what the prince says we do, swear to die for the prince is the first to see." ”

"That's right, it's a matter of swearing to die for the prince." Suddenly, a figure rushed in, Gong Banxian hurriedly took the knife but also saw the other party clearly, and said, "Huanong, why did you come here?" ”

Zhao Huanong is the general of Guangling and the proud disciple of Chen Shuyue. Brave and strategic, superb knife skills, especially good at light body skills, it can be said that there is no trace. This person is twenty-eight years old, dressed in coarse cloth, holding a meniscus knife and holding his right hand, more than eight feet tall, and handsome in appearance. Zhao Huanong said with a smile: "The two brothers are too careless, if this is heard by others, it will be terrible." ”

Gong Banxian hurriedly asked, "Huanong, is it safe outside?" ”

Zhao Huanong said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I have already seen around the tent, there is no one else, no one heard the words between you and the second brother just now." ”

Gong Banxian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's you, otherwise my knife would be ruthless today." ”

Yang Guangxin and Zhao Huanong both laughed, and after laughing, Yang Guangxin said: "Huanong, why did you come here today?" Zhao Huanong said: "This morning I asked my brothers to go to Guangling Mountain to inquire about the news, unexpectedly found the Northern Zhou people in the north of Guangling Mountain, the brothers did not dare to act rashly, and found out at noon that the Northern Zhou army in the north of Guangling Mountain has been encamped, I am afraid that if the enemy army wants to attack it, wouldn't it be ......" The words interrupted Gong Banxian and said: "This military situation is true?" ”

Zhao Huanong said: "I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Gong Banxian said: "I'm afraid that the situation has changed, since the Northern Zhou annihilated the Northern Qi in one fell swoop, a tiger staring at us, the prince has written many times to hope that the imperial court can send troops to the border, and strive for the safety of our border, but many times the book is still fruitless, I am afraid that the prince guessed right, if the Northern Zhou and the Great Sui join forces to attack our army at night, the consequences will be unimaginable." Hua Nong, you are now quickly mobilizing 3,000 cavalry to prepare for battle, and observe the enemy's movements day and night, as long as the enemy army does not move me, our army will not move, understand? Now is the critical moment, and whoever moves is a sinner. ”

Zhao Huanong said: "The last general understands that I will not give the enemy army and the court a chance to capture the handle of the prince, even if the last general dies, he will not hesitate." After speaking, Yang Guangxin and Gong Banxian retreated one by one.

Yang Guangxin said: "With such a brother, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, it is worth it." After a pause, he said, "Big brother, do you want to tell the prince immediately?" ”

Gong Banxian said: "The prince needs to recuperate, don't tell me first, let's talk about it after tonight, maybe the prince has already expected this!" ”

The sunset, the desolation of the border, and the afterglow of the sunset all tell everyone that the weather is getting cooler. The horses around the tent neighed, and the smoke rose into the air.

Chen Shuyue dragged her tired body to the place where the soldiers were training. The commander Tian Shuibo came and said: "Lord Wang, the last general is leading the troops to practice, please ask the Lord to command." ”

"Keep practicing." Chen Shuyue said.

On the training ground, three thousand soldiers began to practice, all of them were full of spirit, full of vitality, looking at these people who had left their hometowns, Chen Shuyue's heart was also a little sad, but for the sake of his family, men should be like this.

Chen Shuyue turned around and was about to go back, when she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark and she almost fell. Chen Shuyue hurriedly stabilized herself and paused for a while, but at this time, Chen Shuyue's forehead began to sweat, his palms were cold, and his legs began to tremble. Chen Shuyue thought to herself: "What's wrong with me? How can I fall now, when there are internal and external troubles? I must not fall, I must not fall. It may be that I have been tired lately, it doesn't matter, take a break and it will be fine. ”

Tian Shuibo saw Chen Shuyue standing there motionless, and asked, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”

Chen Shuyue turned around and said, "It's okay, it's okay." But he fell.

Tian Shuibo saw Chen Shuyue fall and shouted, "Lord Wang." Arrows rushed to Chen Shuyue's side, and the soldiers hurriedly rushed to hear the sound, and suddenly the entire training ground lost order and was in chaos. Can we suddenly fall down the prince that everyone respects? Some people actually shed tears.

Tian Shuibo picked up Chen Shuyue and shouted, "Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor." ”
