After leaving the station, the team stopped after riding a horse for more than ten miles, Wu Xinyu asked people to find some firewood and raise the bonfire, Meng Changan shivered from the cold but still didn't say a word.

He was wearing a big coat on the outside, but he was just a single coat inside, no matter how thick the big coat was, his body was basically frozen for more than ten miles, but he didn't let the team stop.

Wu Xinyu gave an order to a few pro-soldiers, and those pro-soldiers immediately got on their horses and left, disappearing into the snowy night.

He threw a few sticks of wood into the fire: "Nothing to say? ”

Meng Changan lowered his head: "Thank you, General." ”

"That's it?"

Wu Xinyu was angry: "No wonder Guo Leiming said that you are a stuffy gourd, and it is true...... If you run ten miles in the cold, you may have to saw off your hands and feet if you want to save your life, aren't you afraid? ”

"I'm not going to let myself be a piece of waste."

Meng Changan's body gradually warmed up, and he looked down at the small hunting knife in his hand that was illuminated by the firelight.

"You work with me for a while, I want to see how to detain you and not return it."

Wu Xinyu looked at Meng Changan: "Do you know why I'm in such a hurry to take you away?" ”

Meng Changan replied: "The general did not send an order. ”

"Hahahaha......"

Wu Xinyu smiled a little meaningfully: "Pei Xiao, a person who is full of fake pride, naturally will not immediately lower his head and pick up the military order I threw at his feet, but it doesn't mean that he won't suspect that I suddenly appeared in your camp, and he will still pick up the order and take a look." ”

Meng Changan looked at Wu Xinyu: "Why did the general come?" ”

"Because someone doesn't want you dead."

Wu Xinyu raised his head and looked at the night sky, he had come with the general Tie Liuli, and when he was halfway there, Tie Liuli suddenly thought of something, and asked him to immediately take someone back to bring Meng Changan out, where did he get the pen and paper to write the order halfway, Tie Liuli naturally had the tiger talisman of the general's troop transfer, but he didn't want people to know that he was nearby.

"Without the order, Pei Xiao will not be able to get along with the general."

"Appointment?"

Wu Xinyu shrugged his shoulders: "Just go back and make up for one, I'll just say that I'm in a hurry to get the wrong one, what can he do." ”

Meng Changan lowered his head and continued to look at the firelight: "It's too late, he found out that the transfer order was fake, and he will immediately go to the general to sue you, and steal people across the camp without permission, which is a serious violation of military discipline." ”

He stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and when he felt that his limbs had recovered, he turned and walked towards the warhorse.

"Where are you going?"

Wu Xinyu asked.

"Go back."

Meng Changan's answer was simply irritating.

"Lao Tzu worked hard to snatch you out, and you have to go back by yourself?"

"Yes."

Meng Changan got on the horse, snapped the horsewhip, and the war horse neighed and rushed forward, but he had only run two steps, and a hand stretched out in the darkness and grabbed the reins, how strong was the war horse rushing forward? However, it was not as strong as the strength of the hand, and the war horse screamed in surprise and flipped out.

With a bang, the war horse fell to the ground, Meng Changan had already jumped up from the saddle before, and the small hunting knife in his hand slashed forward but retracted halfway, and the tip of the knife was only a fraction of a second away from those eyes.

The man came out of the darkness, and the light of the fire made it clear to him.

Wu Xinyu stood on the edge of the fire and laughed: "Sure enough, it's a stubborn guy." ”

He leaned over and clenched his fists: "Meet the general." ”

The general Tie Liuli walked to the side of the fire and sat down: "Get back." ”

Meng Changan glanced at the war horse that fell to the ground, and his heart palpitated...... Is this the combat power of the generals of the four frontiers? Holding a galloping horse with one hand, it was a standard horse step when the body was pressed down, and the horse somersaulted and fell out, and the horse did not move at all.

"Humble greetings to the general."

"When you go back, don't you want to involve Wu Xinyu?"

Tie Liuli glanced sideways at Meng Changan.

Meng Changan didn't answer, didn't say a word.

Tie Liuli snorted: "A while ago, the old dean wrote me a letter and told me that Meng Changan is a person who is not even willing to say a word to express his concern, and he is a lonely person by nature, do you not want people to think that you are not cold in your bones, or do you not want people to know that you are not so proud?" ”

Meng Changan still just stood there, expressionless.

"Say one thing."

Tie Liuli pointed to his side: "Sit down and say, it involves your life and death, my honor." ”

Meng Changan looked at Tie Liuli: "I won't bet on my life and death." ”

Tie Liuli said: "What about under the military order? ”

"If a military order has nothing to do with military affairs, it is not called a military order."

Tie Liuli knew that Meng Changan had already heard some meaning, and thought that the person recommended by the old dean was indeed right, he was a smart person, but his temperament was not easy to control.

"I'm talking about it, Monarch's Order."

Tie Liuli stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of firewood from the fire, he seemed to like to feel the heat of the fire at close range, or because it was too cold in the northern Xinjiang, he crushed the firewood and shook his hand: "Wu Xinyu, the people who take you are on guard from afar, what I want to say to Meng Changan next, you can't listen." ”

Wu Xinyu responded and left with his own personal team.

Tie Liuli was silent for a while and then said: "Pei Tingshan has no son, as long as a nephew is Pei Xiao, not long ago, Pei Tingshan wrote to His Majesty for the second time to ask His Majesty to allow Pei Xiao to succeed to his family, if he is not the first-class prince of the Great General Dazhu Kingdom, then this is a family matter, and Your Majesty will not take care of it." ”

"But because Pei Tingshan is so special, His Majesty has to think about it more...... If Pei Xiao succeeded to Pei Tingshan, the title of the future first-class duke would be his, do you understand? ”

Meng Changan nodded.

Not only that, Pei Tingshan also mentioned it again, hoping that after his death, His Majesty could let Pei Xiao take charge of the Eastern Xinjiang Shuaiyin...... Pei Tingshan was already confused, he was even so confused that he forgot that Dongjiang was not his, but His Majesty's, and the army of Dongjiang was from his hands to his son, and the Pei family became the emperor of Dongjiang. ”

Meng Changan understood.

"The general asked me to kill Pei Xiao?"

"I didn't say it, I'm just telling you some secrets of the court."

Meng Changan shook his head: "If you hear the secret, you will die." ”

He walked to Tie Liuli and sat down: "If I agree to the general, if Pei Xiao doesn't die, I will die, Pei Xiao will still die if he dies, Your Majesty and the general will not allow an insider to live, right?" ”

"You don't know Your Majesty, young man."

Tie Liuli said with a smile: "If Your Majesty wants to do something, will it be so troublesome to turn over to you?" The reason why I did this is because Your Majesty values you, and I have the recommendation of the old dean...... There are some things that I can't say very clearly, but I can give you an analogy. ”

He looked into Meng Changan's eyes: "Do you know the names in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Meng Changan's eyes suddenly froze.

Vote for a name?!

"Pei Tingshan, he has forgotten his identity, he only feels that he is the benefactor of His Majesty, and he has forgotten that he is a minister in the first place...... Talking about how I helped you in the first place, so I have to get how to get it, is it the love that such people have lost that they have saved so hard? ”

Meng Changan nodded.

"You're really precious to words."

Tie Liuli was silent for a while before continuing: "What you are worried about will not happen, as long as you are still loyal to Daning and loyal to Your Majesty. ”

Meng Changan sat there deep in thought, Tie Liuli suddenly came out and said these words to him, which seemed to directly force him into a desperate situation with no way out, if he didn't kill Pei Xiao, then what would happen to him? And this matter, is it His Majesty's arrangement or is Tie Liuli wanting to do it for His Majesty out of the loyalty of a courtier?

"I want to think about it."

He glanced up at Tie Liuli.

Tie Liuli raised his hand: "Bring the wine." ”

The soldiers in the distance came over with two wine bags, which were filled with a full five catties of spirits, Tie Liuli casually threw a bag to Meng Changan, and he twisted open a bag and poured it on his head.

Meng Changan took a sip after taking the wine bag, his eyes gradually blurred, he needed to think too much.

Pei Tingshan is domineering, over the years, relying on His Majesty to remember his old feelings has become more and more unlikely, there may have been a situation that worries His Majesty on the Eastern Xinjiang side, if Pei Tingshan leaves the position of the general of Eastern Xinjiang to Pei Xiao strongly, then there may be a great change that makes Daning unstable.

The sword soldiers in Dongjiang only respect Pei Tingshan's order, if His Majesty sends someone else to be a general, will there be a war in Dongjiang?

But Pei Xiao is dead, can he really break Pei Tingshan's idea of passing on Dongjiang as a family thing? died of Pei Xiao, and Pei Tingshan could still select another junior from the Pei family to cultivate.

"You've been thinking about it for a long time."

Tie Liuli had already drunk five catties of spirits.

Meng Changan raised his head and looked at Tie Liuli: "This doesn't seem to be bright. ”

Tie Liuli snorted: "He wants to rob you of your military merits?" ”

Meng Chang'an: "The general can uphold justice. ”

"The Great General is not your Great General."

Tie Liuli got up: "The great general is the great general of Daning, the great general of His Majesty." ”

At this time, the personal soldiers sent out by Wu Xinyu before came back, and after dismounting, they came back with a set of clothes, a set of armor, and a black line knife, put the things beside Meng Changan, and left.

"You have infiltrated the Black Martial Arts several times, so I have a new idea, the Black Martial Arts and Daning have been confronted like this for hundreds of years, the Black Martial Arts can't fight because the Daning soldiers are strong and strong, we can't fight because the weather over there is cold and the terrain is dangerous, so large-scale combat is not suitable, like you take a team of elites to sneak in and destroy in the enemy territory, is the most suitable way to play now, if you complete that thing, I will give you the power to form an elite scout team, you train your own people, how you want to fight, You can have whatever supplies you want, what I have in northern Xinjiang, what you want, what I don't have in northern Xinjiang, you just need to reach out to me and ask for it, I will go to Chang'an City to find Your Majesty and ask for it. ”

Tie Liuli turned around and pulled out the black line knife, the fire reflected the red knife light: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Meng Changan stood up and put on his clothes and armor: "I need a place." ”

Tie Liuli asked, "Where is it?" ”

"Seal the inkstone."

Meng Changan said coldly: "Let Pei Xiao know that I am sealing the inkstone, and I will solve the rest of the matter myself." ”

"Seal the inkstone?"

Tie Liuli's eyes were in a trance, he hadn't mentioned this name for a long, long time, that year Zhuang Yong led his troops to defend the Feng Yantai, and Li Yong went into battle shirtless to fight several times with dozens of injuries.

"Okay."

Tie Liuli nodded: "Then seal the inkstone." ”
