Chapter Ninety-Eight

Mo Dingfei burst into tears, his heart was like a knife, and he took Chen Xue in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch him away, Zu Li Liu Kun came over to persuade him, and Mo Dingfei took a long time to calm down.

Mo Dingfei took off Chen Xue's backpack and handed it to Zu Ti: "Brother Zu, Yuetong handed me this thing when she left, and said that I want you to keep it, it should be a jade seal." ”

"Jade seal?" Zu Ti opened the burden with doubts and took a look, and sure enough, it was the jade seal he had seen in the palace!

"How could it be on her, how could Yuetong become like this?"

"Yuetong is concerned about the Great Jin, he must have stolen the jade seal in Zhao State to hand it over to the royal family, and later felt that Brother Zu was dedicated to the country and was enough to entrust him with great things, so he wanted you to do this, eldest brother, I also think that the jade seal should be kept by you, as for why Yuetong became like this, it is difficult for me to understand."

Zu Ti remembered the case he had taken over when he first arrived at Sili Mansion, and seemed to understand something, but he didn't want to break it, because Yuetong would always be a beautiful lover in Mo Dingfei's heart, and he said to Mo Dingfei: "Since Yuetong and you can trust me, the jade seal will be kept by me temporarily, and I will hand it over to the emperor at the right time, as for Yuetong, just bury her." ”

"I'm going to take her back to Tangxi Mountain, so that she can sleep by the Tangxi River forever, Brother Zu, Brother Liu, let's go."

Mo Dingfei picked up Chen Xue and walked forward.

Zu Ti looked at Mo Dingfei who was far away and said, "Liu Kun, just now called Yuetong Chen Xue, do you remember the case we handled?" ”

"Luoyang juvenile disappearance!" Liu Kun thought about it for a while.

"Yes, it's Uncle Chen we once helped, his missing son is called Chen Xue, according to the description, Yuetong is Chen Xue Undoubtedly, Chen Xue was originally a man, and was harmed by Empress Jia and became a person who is neither male nor female, that is, the shemale who pulled the wind said, Chen Xue is really pitiful, I think Chen Xue must have escaped from the palace with the help of Mo Dingfei, joined the sea, learned martial arts with him, and fell in love for a long time, Mo Dingfei decided that Chen Xue was a woman, this is really a sinful love! Alas... ”

Zu Qi sighed, and Liu Kun said again: "But why did Chen Xue help the Huns, when he attacked Luoyang, he was the first to fight." ”

"I think Chen Xue must have been used by Liu Cong, otherwise how could he be willing to work for the Huns, fortunately, he was lost, and now he has stolen the jade seal, the jade seal is our heirloom, and it must not be allowed to be obtained by the Huns, Liu Kun, we will give it to the new emperor Sima Ye of Chang'an."

Liu Kun said: "But Liu Yao is sending troops to Chang'an, Chang'an is not strong enough, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last, if you send the jade seal... ”

Zu Ti thought for a moment and said, "Your worries are reasonable, but how will Jade Seal deal with it?" ”

"We will keep the jade seal for the time being, if the emperor Hongfu Qi is safe and sound, the jade seal will be offered, if his fate is the same as Sima Chi, then I have to wait for me to appear to the true son of heaven, and then present the jade seal." Liu Kun said.

"Well, now that the northern dynasty is no longer able to compete with the Zhao State, there is a danger of the Yangtze River in the south, and it is difficult for the Huns to cross it for a while, so we will go to the south to join the account of General Tao Kan, and then he will lead the troops to help Chang'an and keep the Great Jin line."

"Big brother, let's go to Jiangnantou Taokan now."

The two came to the south and heard that Tao Kan had moved to Jianye (now Nanjing) and was under the jurisdiction of Sima Rui, the king of Langya, because Sima Rui had been named prime minister by the new emperor Sima Ye, the governor of the capital, and the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, which means that Sima Rui could command the world's soldiers and horses.

Sima Rui and Liu Kun are the same age, is the great-grandson of Sima Yi, the son of Sima Jin, the son of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, attacked the king of Langya at the age of fifteen, Sima Rui thinks that he is the emperor's family, in order to avoid the disaster of killing, he adopts a frugal and concessionary posture, and tries to avoid getting involved in the royal family.

Sima Rui was later favored by Sima Yue, who was in power, and named him the general of Pingdong, and the governor of Xuzhou Military, guarding the backyard for Sima Yue, and then Sima Rui moved to the town of Jianye, running Jiangnan, after Sima Ye sealed his official position, he also got the support of the Jiangnan scholars, and gradually became more powerful, becoming the most powerful royal prince.

When Zu Ti Liu Kun saw Tao Kan, Tao Kan once again took the two under his command, and Zu Ti immediately proposed to take a group of men and horses to Chang'an to resist Liu Yao's army, so as not to fall Chang'an.

Tao Kan said that Sima Rui is now in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and the march to Chang'an must be approved by him, Zu Ti asked Tao Kan to take him to meet Sima Rui, and Tao Kan took Zu Ti Liu Kun to Sima Rui's mansion.

Tao Kan introduced the two of them and Sima Rui, Sima Rui said: "It turned out to be the two of you, this king has heard about you for a long time, and they are all loyal to the pillars of the imperial court. ”

Zu Ti and the two thanked him again and again, and then Zu Ti said: "Lord, Liu Yao has led a large army to attack Chang'an, Chang'an is not strong enough, I'm afraid there will be danger, once the city is broken, it will repeat the mistakes of Luoyang, I hope that the prince can recruit troops and horses to gallop to aid Chang'an, protect the people of Chang'an, and protect the emperor's safety!" ”

As soon as Zu Ti said this, Sima Rui's face was displeased, and Wang Dun on the side said: "Don't worry, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chang'an, which can support half a month. ”

"Half a month? Chang'an may not be able to support it for so long, and I hope that the prince can quickly rush to help, General Tao has enough soldiers and food, after breaking the Wu army, the army is prosperous, if you can divide 100,000 soldiers and horses to Chang'an, you can keep Chang'an safe. ”

Wang Dun said: "This is wrong, General Tao only has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, if 100,000 are transferred, the remnants of Wu forces in Jiangnan will resurge, and there are rogues everywhere, General Tao's soldiers and horses can not move, and can only recruit troops from the following states and counties." ”

Zu Ti said: "If this is the case, how many days will it take?" ”

Wang Dun stretched out five fingers and said, "Five days is enough." ”

Zu Ti, Liu Kun and Tao Kan had no choice but to retire.

As soon as they left, Wang Dun said: "Lord, ancestor Liu Kun thinks things are too simple, now the north has become Zhao soil, and Guanzhong will be lost sooner or later, our rush to help Chang'an is tantamount to sacrificing in vain, there is no benefit, as for the emperor... He said and glanced at Sima Rui.

Although Sima Rui had just been made an official by Sima Ye, he had no intention of saving him at all, he wanted to preserve his strength, but it was not easy to say that he could not save it, it happened that Wang Dun saw through his mind and blocked Zu Ti.

Sima Rui said: "The emperor is the destiny of heaven, and he will overcome this difficulty." ”

"What the prince said is extremely true."

"Lord Wang, but you just said that you would transfer troops and horses, and said that it would take five days to make the trip."

"It's just perfunctory, five days after five days, until... He meant that he would not send troops until the fall of Chang'an, but he didn't say it.

Sima Rui said in his heart: "Let's calm the changes." ”

After waiting for five days, Zu Ti found that Sima Rui had no intention of sending troops at all, so he went to ask, Wang Dun only said that the soldiers and horses had not yet been recruited, and he had to wait for another five days, Zu Ti had no choice but to wait.

In fact, Wang Dun did not recruit troops and horses at all, but only symbolically requisitioned some grain and grass.

On this day, Sima Rui was discussing with Wang Dun Wang Dao, and someone came to report: "Lord Wang, report from the front, Liu Yao is besieging Chang'an, day and night, Chang'an is in danger!" It's only a matter of time! ”
