The garden of the Tiancheng Guard's General Military Mansion. It's said to be a garden, but it's just a few plants planted against the wall, and I don't know if they will bloom.

"When are you leaving?" Liang Lie asked.

"Master said tomorrow."

Liang Lie nodded, "Where are you going?" ”

Yao Fangyu didn't answer, and she didn't know how to answer at all.

"Yu'er, ......." Liang Lie was about to persuade her to do something, but suddenly the tone of his words changed, "That Nangong Jin is not a good person at all, it's better to retreat." ”

Yao Fangyu was stunned.

Liang Lie looked indignant, and continued: "Bullying weak, * women, and even abusing mothers and deceiving brothers and sisters is simply not as good as ......."

"Uncle Liang, who did you listen to?" Yao Fangyu interrupted him.

"Who else is there to hear about this? How can there be a reason not to know in Shanxi? Liang Lie said it as a matter of course.

"It must be wrong, he's not that kind of person."

"Oh? Do you know what kind of person he is? ”

Yao Fangyu bit her lip, "I don't know." I don't know what he's thinking, or what he's going to do. He's like that, even if it's bad, it's not so obvious that it's bad. ”

"I don't know, so you know?" Liang Lie smiled, "You don't like him?" ”

Yao Fangyu didn't answer, but said stunned: "If they want to withdraw from the marriage, let's quit." Suddenly turned his head and looked at Liang Lie seriously, "Uncle Liang, I want to stay in Tianchengwei." ”

"Why?" Liang Lie didn't expect Yao Fangwei to have this kind of thought.

Yao Fangyu lowered her head, as if she couldn't think of a good word, "I don't know." I, I, don't want people to be unhappy about me, and I don't want to see and see bad things in the future. ”

Liang Lie looked at her and asked, "What do you know?" ”

Yao Fangyu didn't answer for a long time, but finally said, "Master wants to take me back to the South China Sea." Anyway, he'll protect me this time. The tone is sad.

Liang Lie frowned and sighed, "Tianchengwei is a border city after all, and there is always a danger of Tartars attacking. He paused and asked, "Do you know anything about 30,000 taels?" ”

Yao Fangyu avoided Liang Lie's eyes and shook his head directly, "I don't know." ”

Liang Lie looked at her, nodded and smiled, "Understood." Tartar shouldn't be so fast to Tianchengwei, you don't have to rush to leave tomorrow. I'll talk to your master again, and if you follow him again, I'm not at ease. ”

**********

When Liang Lie returned to the study, he saw Xu Baoshen again.

Xu Baoshen smiled and said, "How could it be so coincidental? Did the old brother talk to Nangong Jin well? ”

"The first time we met, it wasn't good or bad." Liang Lie didn't smile.

Xu Baoshen patted his head and said with a smile: "Hey, look at my memory." The Nangong family has always been doing business in the north, how can they not be familiar with the old brother? Tomorrow I will take Yu'er back to the South China Sea, so that everyone will be happy. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing. I know that there is more than one such reef in the South China Sea, and as long as my brother tells me the location again, everyone will still live the same life. After all, we also have some friendship with the Nangong family, and we really can't get over it. Xu Baoshen said it lightly.

"I see, you thought there was still ......, hum......." Liang Lie sneered.

Xu Bao sighed deeply, "At the beginning, you took seventy percent." I raised their sisters. ”

"At the beginning? Hmph, it was you who stuck in the bar! Why don't you say that Xiuxiu died early! Liang Lie glared.

"And what about Yao Fangyu?" Xu Baoshen looked at Liang Lie, "You haven't come out with anything." ”

Liang Lie laughed, "I haven't been able to figure out how Yu'er was abducted back then." Actually, it wasn't abducted, it was sold by you, right? ”

"You don't want me to take Yao Fangyu with me anymore, okay. 30,000 taels, a write-off! You are your General Liang and I am my head of the South China Sea, and we will never see each other again! Xu Baoshen no longer hidden, and put down his face.

"What if I don't?" Liang Lie looked at Xu Baoshen coldly.

Xu Baoshen said indifferently: "Then let Yao Fangyu spend the rest of her life in the South China Sea, she likes it anyway, and in fact, you don't care." ”

Liang Lie stared at Xu Baoshen, "You have to be clear, this is Tianchengwei!" In addition, Nangong Jin is also here. ”

"Really? So what? You should know what kind of Yu'er likes. Xu Baoshen smiled deeply and gently dusted off the dust that did not exist on his clothes. In the past few decades, you have swallowed more than that, and you don't want to spend some money to buy Yao Fangyu's freedom. Alas, this trip is really too much, I thought how much you wanted to atone for your sins. Hehe, it's really not interesting to talk to you. ”

Liang Lie stared at Xu Baoshen, Xu Baoshen didn't look at him, Gu Zi opened the door and left the room, turned his head and asked, "Give you one last chance, silver or the rest of Yao Fangyu's life?" ”

"Three thousand taels. Fang Wei stayed. ”

"Calling Hanako? Gone, old man. Xu Baoshen smiled after saying it and went out directly.

"Five thousand."

I only heard Xu Baoshen's laughter, getting farther and farther away.

Baxi is very capable, taking advantage of Nangong Jin's absence, he is doing laundry and sewing, and he also wants to go to stock up some dry food, in case Nangong Jin will leave at any time. On the contrary, Nangong Jin had nothing to do, and he waited until the evening and didn't see anyone from Lu Beitang. This made Nangong Jin worried, if there was really a war in the Datong area, then he might not be able to wait at all.

After dinner, Baxi prepared bath water for Nangong Jin, Tianchengwei was so calm, just like any ordinary small city in the Central Plains, but not like the Acropolis.

In the early morning, Tianchengwei, who had been quiet all night, came alive again, with open shops, caravans coming in and out, and children singing children's songs to go to private school.

Nangong Jin was uneasy, because the entire Acropolis was not at all tense before the war. I don't believe that the General Military Office has not received the military report, if it does, what is going on now?

Baxi still happily served Nangong Jin for breakfast, packed up the dishes and went out. I heard the plate outside the door shattered, and Baxi shouted, "Hey, hey, what's wrong with you?!" ”

Nangong Jin went out and saw Xiao Lian covered in blood, and Baxi was anxiously supporting him. "Xiao Lian! What's going on? Nangong Jin hurriedly helped him to the room, and instructed Baxi, "Hurry up and prepare hot water, bring the wound medicine, hurry!" ”

"Second son......." Xiao Lian seemed to be injured not lightly.

Nangong Jin comforted: "It's going to be fine......." ”

Xiao Lian waved his hand and said anxiously: "Second son, the Tartars are coming, there are a lot of cavalry, I, I ran all night to get rid of them, they are very fast, very soon, they will be ...... in two hours at most." "I didn't catch it in one breath and fainted.

Baxi rushed into the room with water and medicine in his hand, with a frightened face. Nangong Jin was already untying Xiao Lian's clothes, glanced at Baxi and said, "Don't be afraid, calm down." We first clean the wound and then apply medicine and bandage. He's just traumatized, it's fine. "Do as you talk.

"Yes......." Baxi's face turned pale, and he trembled and handed over the wound medicine.

Nangong Jin ignored him anymore and bandaged him carefully. When he was done, he commanded, "Listen, prepare a bowl of warm salt water for him to drink, and then go to the doctor and do as the doctor says." Your task these days is to take care of him, and if he wakes up, let him rest well and don't get out of bed. Got it? ”

Baxi seemed to have recovered and nodded solemnly, "Yes." Seeing that Nangong Jin was about to go out, he hurriedly said, "Where is the young master going?" ”

"I'll go to the General Soldier's Mansion, don't worry. Do as I say, right away! ”

**********

In the conference hall of the Tianchengwei General Military Mansion, it was neatly filled with military attaches at all levels, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Generally speaking, the target of the Tartars is Jingshi, and they often skip Tianchengwei and go straight to Huai'anwei." Liang Lie's left-hand general, Zhengse, said.

"Yes, the first few times. In fact, the Tartars didn't have much to divide their forces with. Many military attachés nodded in agreement.

"That's true, boss, we just have to shut up and don't get out."

Liang Lie seemed to be still pondering, and said, "What if the target is Tianchengwei this time?" There were tens of thousands of people in the city. ”

"Boss, I don't know if I should talk about an idea."

Liang Lie glanced at him angrily, "Say." ”

"Kaesong, surrender."

"No!" As soon as the man's voice fell, Nangong Jin's voice came from outside the door, "How can you surrender without a fight!" "Nangong Jin almost broke into the General Military Mansion.

"Who are you?!" Someone shouted angrily.

The little colonel standing guard at the door only ran at this time, "Boss, boss, we can't stop it, this person rushed in." ”

"Pingyang Nangong Jin, I've seen General Liang." Nangong Jin strode into the conference hall.

Liang Lie stared at him and didn't make a sound, a general beside him got up and shouted: "This is the General Military Mansion Chamber, it's not a place where anyone can trespass, go out!" ”

Nangong Jin ignored it and said to Liang Lie: "The speed of the Tartar cavalry is extremely fast, and there are still about two hours away from Tianchengwei. I implore General Liang to order martial law throughout the city and enter a state of readiness for war. ”

"Where did you hear from that? Don't talk nonsense! A young officer beside him scolded.

Maybe it was because Liang Lie didn't give an order, or maybe it was the words Pingyang Nangong Clan, everyone present gave some face, but no one came to catch him up.

"General Liang, although Tianchengwei has not been in battle for a long time, the city walls are strong and tall, and there are many people in the city, so you must not surrender without a fight!" Nangong Jin stood in the hall and said loudly.

"Although the Pingyang Nangong clan occasionally assists in defense, this son, you really don't know anything!" The officer who proposed to surrender said: "The Tartars only need things, give them what they want, and they will go." This is also for the sake of the people in the city, and the soldiers ...... without a fight. ”

"It's not the right season!" Nangong Jin retorted: "At this time, the north is rich in water and grass, and the cattle and sheep give birth, so you shouldn't send a large army to the south to ...... at all." ”

"Shouldn't it?!" Another officer jumped up, "Should the Tartars still rob things?" Who stipulates that if the water and grass are abundant and the cattle and sheep give birth, they cannot send a large army south?! ”

"There aren't so many of them in the Tartars!" Nangong Jin was anxious, and said to Liang Lie again: "General Liang, time is running out, if you don't decide how to act, please ask General Liang to close the city and impose martial law first!" ”

"Boss, yesterday's military report showed that the Tartars have not yet arrived in Datong." The officer who got up to report turned his head to look at Nangong Jin, "Nangong Gongzi, two hours to Tianchengwei?" Could it be that the Tartar cavalry can fly? ”

Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, "No, it's not an army!" ”

"You just said that there are not so many people in the Tartars, and now you mean that there are several large armies, may I ask the prince of Nangong, where are so many people in the Tartars?"

Nangong Jin was speechless for a while.

Liang Lie looked at him and said to the officers: "Pass my order, close the city gate, and impose martial law!" ”

Several officers were stunned, but they still answered loudly, and then someone trotted out of the house to give orders.

said to Nangong Jin again: "Nangong Jin, you trespass on important military places, and you should be responsible for your first offense, and you will be strictly guarded in the firewood room in the backyard first." If it is verified that the reported military situation is wrong, it will be misled by false words, and the military law will punish it! Come on, take it down! ”

Two colonels quickly ran into the door, and they were about to take him into custody. Nangong Jin shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't have to be like this, I'll just go with you." ”
