Ah Long thought it was: "On this trip to Yunnan and Guizhou, Ah Long made a mistake. Fortunately, Zhile is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he will take the overall situation into account. ”

Zhuo Yun nodded and said in a low voice of relief: "Zhile is broad-minded, but he misunderstood Ah Long for a while, but the Shu-Yunnan-Guizhou Alliance will still be stronger than the previous Dian Jun." ”

Ah Long's face was full of worry: "In the near future, he may not be bewitched by Yu Jun and become friends and enemies with me. Even so, the world is changeable, no one can break it, and I, Xishu, must take precautions. ”

Zhuo Yun nodded again and again: "As the saying goes" born in sorrow and died in peace"; In this situation, "it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided", Ah Long does not have to suffer himself and be too demanding. After a pause, he said: "Ah Long just investigated in person, Zhuo Xing is cheating to death?" ”

Ah Long's face sank, explained the truth in detail, and his grief became more pale: "Today's chaos is all because Ah Long has not finished eliminating evil. Ah Long's crime is unforgivable, and he is willing to ask the general to be demoted to a third level. ”

Zhuo Yun changed color when he heard this: "Ah Long eliminated internal worries for me in Xishu and resisted external troubles, I can't be promoted, how can I be willing to be demoted?" ”

Zhuo Mu knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Today's chaos, Zhuo Mu can't escape!" I beg you, cure the sins of Zhuo Mu! ”

Ling Chun even remembered what his brother Ming Xia had done, full of guilt, threw himself to the ground, and kowtowed upward: "Weichen, as the governor of Dayuan Mansion, failed to enforce the law by self-denial; (ii) the failure to stop civil strife; 3. Failure to protect the innocent is a great crime! ”

Ah Long thought of Ah Hei, and became even more sad: "The more the enemy disturbs the hearts of our army, the more I should stabilize my position. Zhuo Xing's move is to make my monarch and ministers suspicious and cause chaos. Ah Mu is the most aware of the righteousness and takes into account the overall situation, so naturally he can't take it for others and be punished without guilt. Chunfu Yin has just taken office, and he must establish his prestige in order to eradicate evil in the future. There are not a few old families that Ah Long has offended, and the king's demotion to Ah Long's post just made him paralyzed. ”

Zhuo Yun just didn't agree: "Ah Long, you yourself said that Fan Qi's army lost the northeast of Shu, and he will not give up, and he will definitely march into the southeast of Shu, and he will be ashamed." Wu Shu clashed for the second time, and it was about to break out. Now resisting Qiang Wu is the urgent need. Rewards and punishments will be determined later. ”

Ling Chun was recommended by Ah Long, but now Ah Long has lost his loved ones, and he has worn it for himself, which is really the grace of knowing that the encounter is as heavy as a mountain, and he can't help but be grateful and ashamed: "When I go back, I will definitely see it." If Brother Xia is guilty, I will never cover it up. I only hope that he is an honest gentleman and has never acted in vain. ”

Ah Long groaned slightly, and said upward: "Along the way, Ah Long is always thinking, Wu soldiers are numerous, strong soldiers and horses, and they can't be prevented, if you want to win him, our army's defense line must not be scattered, we must concentrate superior forces, and lure them to annihilate!" ”

Zhuo Yun nodded again and again, frowning: "Ah Long, Fan Qi is cunning and abnormal, such as."

What temptation to annihilate it? ”

When Zhuo Mu heard this, his face was worried: "Fan Qi's troops are far superior to mine, if I concentrate superior forces, I will definitely expose the weak places, at that time, how can I fully defend?" ”

Ah Long was thoughtful: "Fan Qi mobilized an army of 150,000 to invade the southeast of our Shu. Our forces are limited, and the defense line cannot be fully spread. In this case, we must know ourselves and our opponents, and find out Fan Qi's offensive and defensive advances and retreats in order to have a target. Ah Long takes a closer look at Fan Qi, who has always cut corners, loves to take shortcuts, and is greedy for more, so he is very happy. If he invades, he will attack the Wulong Mountain. Let's take advantage of the mountain, leave a gap in the road he must pass, and then sell a flaw, please enter the urn, I just catch turtles in the urn. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Mu raised his fingers: "Ah Long, this plan is very good!" ”

Zhuo Yun was also overjoyed: "Some time ago, Ah Mu and I have been non-stop, and we have gathered soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and the soldiers are united in one place, and we will fight a family." I only hope to fight against strong enemies and be invincible. ”

Ah Long thought about the border defense, and his eyes were like electricity: "I confront Dongwu, and I must be more careful of the Quartet." Shunan is adjacent to Yunnan and Guizhou, and there may be no major trouble in the near future. The only person I am concerned about is Shubei. Northern Xia was hit hard by the Northern Tartars, although the restoration of the country was short, Xia Jun was ambitious, and his ambition was not small. We must join forces with Xia to resist Wu and try our best to make friends with him, in case Xia Jun takes advantage of the fire to rob and stab me in the back. ”

Zhuo Yun smiled slightly: "Ah Long rest assured, Shuxia Alliance, the foundation is still solid." What's more, Xia Jun took advantage of the danger of Shu and fell into the well, which is tantamount to moving stones and smashing his feet, and the legacy is endless. ”

Zhuo Mu groaned slightly, and said: "Xia Jun is also afraid, if Eastern Wu gains power, colludes with the Northern Jin Dynasty, and takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill in the west, Northern Xia is in danger." This move harms others and himself, and he should know that it is very powerful. ”

Zhuo Yun is still not at ease: "Even so, the world is impermanent, people's hearts are unpredictable, and I still need to take more precautions." ”

Ah Long thought about the safety of Yuancheng: "Now General Qin Feng has led his headquarters to return to the northeast of Shu and stick to the northern gate. The forbidden army inside and outside the city can be commanded by the Sichuan Zong. ”

Zhuo Yun's face was happy: "Ah Long is thoughtful, there is Chuanzhong, no matter how much King Jia's father and son make trouble, Shudu can also be impregnable, I can sit back and relax." ”

Ah Long looked at Ling Chun: "Tomorrow, I will go to the front enemy with the horse, and the burden on Fu Yin's shoulders is a thousand pounds." ”

Ling Chun's face was solemn: "The lower officials will do their best to protect the king, protect the city, and protect the common people." ”

Ah Long repeatedly instructed: "King Jia's rebellion of stealing the country, and the disaster of the old family's wealth accumulation, will be eliminated sooner or later." It's just that I'm in the light, and he's in the dark. I have internal worries, and even more external troubles. I must not be in a hurry to make a move now, it is better to endure the word, first get rid of external troubles, and then concentrate on solving internal worries. ”

Ling Chun's eyes were blazing: "Xia Guan understands that he can't startle the snake now, but he focuses on secret investigation and secret visits, waiting for opportunities to move, and can do so."

Thick and thin. ”

The monarch and ministers discussed the government affairs, border defense, and conquest for another hour before it came to an end.

Ah Long gave a deep salute and was about to leave the palace, but Zhuo Yun stopped him and said with a smile: "Ah Long, you only pretend to be state affairs in your heart, and you have no family at all. My sister-in-law's life is on the verge of death, but you don't say a word. ”

Ah Long's face turned pale: "Yes, Your Majesty." I was about to take her away. ”

Zhuo Yun frowned deeply: "Go quickly!" I don't know how it hurts? ”

Ah Long and Ling Chun walked out of the palace gate. Ling Chun was thinking about the big case and was about to open his own way, but Ah Long shouted softly behind him: "Chunfu Yin, you have to go with me." ”

Ling Chun was only full of doubts: "The general went to pick up the little lady, the little don't be newly married, the husband and wife are deeply in love, they should be alone, why did they call me?" By the way, the little lady is seriously injured and may need to be carried on a stretcher, but now that Ah Hei is gone, she needs a hard work like mine. He already had great respect for Ah Long, and he thought of Qinghe, so he did not hesitate to follow Ah Long closely.

Walking on the road, Ah Long suddenly said: "Chunfu Yin is personally recommended by me to the king, Chunfu Yin does things, I can rest assured." Brother Mingxia, I thought about entrusting me with a heavy responsibility. But a few days ago, your mother herself came to me and advised me not to make him a general. ”

Ling Chun was shocked when he heard this: "Brother Xia has been arrogant since he was a child, and he only hopes to serve the country one day. ”

Ah Long groaned: "Your mother didn't say it explicitly, according to my guess, she may want him to be a head catcher for the rest of her life in order to ask him to be safe." ”

When Ling Chun heard this, his heart twitched, and he became even more suspicious: "Zhuo Xing's execution that day, was it because Brother Xia didn't investigate, or did he do it on purpose?" He is my own brother, and he has my trust, and it is easy to lie to me. Just change the length of the sling, and Zhuo Xing can escape death. At the time of the autopsy, no matter how much you lie about the military situation, you can get away with it. After the fact, restore the length of the sling rope, and it will not leak. ”

Thinking of this, he said urgently: "Knowing a son is like a mother, and it makes sense for the mother to arrange it like this." ”

Ah Long's face turned pale: "This case still needs to be carefully investigated, and everything is too early to say." At that time, I complied with your mother's wishes and sent Ming Xia back, with the intention of keeping an eye on me. If he is reinstated and remains diligent and pragmatic, I will certainly use him again. ”

Ling Chun secretly said in his heart: "The general treats me sincerely, but I hide and hide. I was not ashamed in my heart, and finally mustered up the courage to confess: "The person who was executed and examined that day was indeed Ming Xia, and the subordinate officials and disciples were not strict, and they did not investigate, and the crime was unforgivable." When the officials go back, they will be checked one by one, and if there is really adultery, they will be severely punished. ”

Ah Long's face was cold: "There is another person, who is my closest relative, full of evil, and urgently needs to be severely punished." ”

Ling Chun was shocked when he heard this: "Who is the general referring to?" ”
