After eating the three-day tonic soup, for Yue Qianqiu and the little monkey, it was in good spirits, and they completely recovered from the fatigue of the previous journey.

As for Xiao Jingxian, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, only relying on the previous arrangements in Gu'an City, he also needed to sort out the defense of the entire city, and his face was still pale, so he had to use Xiao's secret makeup technique......

Only he knew if he had experienced the extraordinary effects of the medicine, or rather, the additional bonus effect of extraordinary care.

Among the few parties involved, only Yue Ying is a real and complete idler, and the dragon sees the beginning and the end all day long.

However, no matter who it was, when Tanma finally brought accurate news, the Dao was that the soldiers and horses under the banner of the Northern Yan Emperor had arrived, and there were no more than a thousand people at most, every pair of eyes looked at Xiao Jingxian. Even under so many gazes, Xiao Jingxian was still calm, and his tone was even more neat: "It's finally here, let's go to the city and wait for a while." ”

It's almost the same to wait out of the city, what the hell is waiting for you in the city? Yue Qianqiu complained in her heart, but the tension still lingered. It's almost at his doorstep, and he doesn't want to poke out any more baskets!

At the head of Gu'an City, when Yue Qianqiu, who was lying on the battlement, saw the banner waving, the majestic soldiers and horses gradually unfolded, and saw that the horse took the lead, a black big coat fluttering in the wind, and the figure of the vague acquaintance in armor, he couldn't help but hold the city wall tightly with both hands, if it wasn't for his skill was not enough, maybe the very hard knuckles could leave deep fingerprints on the bluestone.

"Qianqiu, have you ever thought about leading a team of elite soldiers out of the city to sneak attack and become famous in the first battle?"

Hearing Xiao Jingxian's obviously instigating voice, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but roll his head sideways and rolled his eyes: "Morale is high, immobile like a mountain, in the face of this kind of military formation, casually rushing is looking for death, do you think I'm an idiot?" ”

"I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of this army." Xiao Jingxian smiled, and then said casually, "Tsk, it's a pity that my eyes are not good, and I can't see the majestic military formation you mentioned clearly." ”

"Don't pretend to be pitiful there! I asked Uncle Ying, even if his eyes are not good, he can feel a silhouette from a distance, and he can also hear whether the soldiers and horses are elite and strong, or old, weak, sick and disabled when he hears the sound of horses' hooves. Besides, a veteran general like you who has led soldiers can detect from afar whether a soldier or horse is a bone that is easy to gnaw, because the aura that does not disperse is not the same as the chaotic breath, otherwise how did you fight in the past? ”

Seeing that Yue Qianqiu turned back as he spoke, as if he didn't bother to turn back and argue with himself, looking outside the city from beginning to end, Xiao Jingxian laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have so much confidence in me!" Okay, just for your trust, I can't let you down! ”

After saying this, he kicked his leg lightly, jumped up the high city wall in a dashing manner, and stood at the top of everyone's attention. At that moment, not to mention the little monkey, even Yue Ying, who was hidden in the shadow of the city tower, also gave birth to a feeling that this person stood out from the crowd. Yue Qianqiu finally couldn't help but glance sideways at the figure standing high on the city wall, and forgot that it was the wounded.

Xiao Jingxian seems to be out of place in Beiyan, a place that has a high tolerance for powerful ministers and ministers, and can do his own thing unscrupulously, can such a person run to Jinling, where every official is eager to be pressed into a unified mold to return to the furnace and rebuilt?

What others think, Xiao Jingxian naturally has no time to pay attention. Standing on the three-zhang high city wall, the wind blew the big banner next to him, and his hair, which deliberately did not wear a crown and a hairpin, but was tied with a gold ring, was also flying in the wind. In the weather, which had cooled down completely, his single coat contrasted sharply with the brightly armored emperor of the army.

Xiao Jingxian looked down at the soldiers and horses that had stopped not far away, and looked down at the emperor who was riding his horse slowly under the command of a few people, took a deep breath, and said in a thunderous voice: "Thank you to the emperor for coming thousands of miles to chase me, an insignificant traitor." ”

It's a thank you, but whether it's the people at the head of the city or the people under the city, not too many people think that Xiao Jingxian's thank you is sincere. However, Yue Qianqiu faintly felt that this capricious and unpredictable King of Jin was serious.

And ignoring the dissuasion from the left and right sides, the emperor who rode his horse to the range of the arrow also fully heard the sincerity of Xiao Jingxian's words. He was silent for a moment, and looked up at the brother-in-law who had been conniving for a rare time in his life, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you admit your mistake at this moment and open the city gate, you are still my King of Jin. ”

With such a loud promise, even Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but take a breath softly, thinking that Emperor Beiyan was really a character.

He was almost completely sure that as long as Xiao Jingxian did what he said at this time, that Supreme really wouldn't care how hard Xiao Jingxian's previous actions were, and he would really not be guilty of the past. Sure enough, as soon as he thought so, the emperor said another sentence.

"I can also promise you that your power will remain the same as before, and I will never let you spend the rest of your life within the walls!"

"For the sake of me, an unconscious brother-in-law, the emperor has broken his heart for many years, and now he can justifiably remove my stumbling block, but he still has to continue to tolerate it, I really can't help it."

Xiao Jingxian actually bowed slightly on the city wall, and then said lightly: "I don't have any ambitions, I was originally just a gentleman who lived one day at a time, especially after my sister became the queen, I didn't have any ambitions." It's enough to have her in front of you to kill decisively, why bother with one more me? ”

However, she died after all, and only left a nickname in the history books, at most, when she wrote about the princess of Wei in the future, she mentioned that she was the daughter of the queen. In this case, if I can't find out the trajectory of her last days, the arrangements of the last days, and find out my nephew who came to the world inexplicably, but disappeared inexplicably, wouldn't I be sorry for the wealth and glory that my sister can enjoy? ”

The emperor finally fully confirmed that Xiao Jingxian was really not dissatisfied or even tired, so he suddenly thought of defecting to Southern Wu, and it was really for the same knot as him! He rode his horse a few more steps forward desperately, as if he didn't see the frightened faces of the guards, and he didn't notice that Yue Xiaosi on the side didn't look at him at all, only staring at the city.

"What you have to do, I have to do. I don't know what this has to do with your defection to Southern Wu! ”

"That's because my sister's handwritten letter was left to me, not you."

As if he could foresee how angry the emperor would be, Xiao Jingxian continued without any pause: "I have received a letter from my sister every year over the years, of course, each letter is written in the same handwriting and paper, it should be written at the same time, which does not prove that she is still alive. And the one I received recently, she told me plainly that if I could see the letter, it meant that she was dead. But her bloodline is still in this world, and the person is in Nanwu. ”

"Ridiculous!" Although when the emperor asked Yue Qianqiu to call Daddy before, Kang Le had made it clear that she would never believe that the queen would send her only son to Nanwu, and the emperor was noncommittal, and he didn't think so in his heart.

With the tacit understanding between their husband and wife for many years, if Lele really wants to do this, how can he not reveal anything to him? Moreover, why did she do this, how could she conclude that he would not put the children of the two of them in the East Palace? How can it be concluded that he will not leave the throne to the two sons that they have so hard to have? He will definitely spare no effort to cultivate that sister-in-law who is so easy to get!

Therefore, after refuting Xiao Jingxian with an angry reprimand, the emperor shouted at the city: "Yue Qianqiu, I treat you well, you just repaid you by bewitching Xiao Jingxian to defect with you?" ”

Yue Qianqiu originally sat on the ground with his back against the city wall, pondering the conversation between the two uncles. When he heard that Emperor Beiyan's spearhead was suddenly aimed at him, he frowned, stood up immediately, patted his buttocks, turned around and jumped onto the battlement, holding the city wall next to him with one hand, and casually went to that station, without Xiao Jingxian's jade tree in the wind, and the demeanor of everyone.

"His Majesty the Emperor has asked me to call Daddy, even if I say that you are not good to me, others will not believe it!"

Yue Qianqiu said a witty word, and then said lazily: "I also take this opportunity to make it clear." First, whether it's called Daddy or Uncle, His Majesty the Emperor and King Jin all say it casually, but I just call it casually, everyone doesn't take it seriously, and I can't just use this to persuade King Jin to follow me, the so-called nephew, back to Dawu, because I am not at all. ”

"Second." He raised his index finger and middle finger, this gesture did not mean victory in this year, but he held it so gracefully, with the joy on his face as if he saw the dawn of victory, "When I ran out of Shangjing before, it was not so much that I held the king of Jin hostage, but that he held me hostage, and the secret passage was made by him back then." I was like an arrow, but he was even more 'like an arrow' than I was, so we were able to get here without any problems. ”

"The third ......," he raised a third finger, and then frowned as if in distress, "I really can't think of this third...... Oh, let's talk about repaying the reward. His Majesty the Emperor has indeed been tolerant of me and the Southern Mission, and I do have to thank you for that. But you have used me to catch fish several times, and I have killed a lot of traitors in Beiyan, so I can be regarded as repaying you. ”

"In the end, I didn't have that many thoughts, I just wanted to go home, that's all."

Looking at Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu, who were one high and one low, he knew that they might not be uncles and nephews, and he knew that Yue Qianqiu might not be his son, but the emperor still had an indescribable illusion. It seems that if they miss it today, these two will not return north again like the geese flying south, but will never come back.

He took a deep breath and said word by word, "Good, good!" Xiao Jingxian, do you think that I can't defeat your little Gu'an City with only these 800 soldiers and horses? ”
