In order to avoid entering the sphere of influence of Heishui Zhula, the team detoured from the Qingluo Grassland to the Gulaqin Grassland, and then entered the Jingulan Desert from the western region, so that it would not enter the sphere of influence of Heishui Zhula.

Although this envoy did not welcome back Princess Xiliang, it cannot be said that this trip was nothing, at least the mission had a good understanding of the internal situation of Xiliang.

In fact, the mood of the return journey of the mission was quite relaxed, and after walking for several days, it was far away from Qingluo City, and it had reached the junction of Qingluo Grassland and Gulaqin Grassland.

The night is quiet, and the night breeze on the grassland is also refreshing, and the fragrant taste with the smell of grass is full of nature, which is not easy to feel in the Qin State.

The tents have been set up, the goods are all gathered in their hearts, the soldiers form a circle, Chu Huan and Qiluo naturally have separate tents, after a few days, Qiluo's expression looks more and more melancholy, Chu Huan only thinks that she is because she is far away from home, and she has to be comforted intimately.

Bonfires were lit, and most of the soldiers, except for the soldiers on guard, were talking and laughing around the bonfire, using food and water.

Before departing from Cheongna City, the mission did not forget to replenish the needs along the way.

Chu Huan accompanied Qiluo to use food, and when he came out, he saw Xue Huai'an coming over, and when he saw Chu Huan, he smiled on his face, and pulled Chu Huan to a bonfire next to him and sat down.

Xue Huai'an picked up the wine bag and said with a smile: "Lord Chu, this envoy is all thanks to your merits, this kind of mare's milk wine, I am not used to it, but in order to thank you, I still have to respect you." ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "I can't drink this wine!" ”

Xue Huai'an was stunned and frowned, Chu Huan had already said: "If the lord says that it is because of the merits, Chu Huan will not dare to accept it." Zhengse said: "If you want to compare the merits, this mission, whose merits can be compared to the adults!" ”

Xue Huai'an was stunned.

"My lord traveled all the way, he was cautious, and he suffered such a setback in the great desert, but he still led the team to Qingluo City unyieldingly." Chu Huan stared at Xue Huai'an: "There are hundreds of people in the mission, adults worry day and night, no matter food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is no moment to rest, and above the Xiliang court, it is even more important for Lao Chen, fighting according to reason, and showing the prestige of my Qin State...... General Xuanyuan and I are just following the orders of the adults, if it weren't for the adults' strategies, this trip would be a blessing and a curse! ”

When Xue Huai'an heard this, he immediately smiled, waved his hand and said, "What did Lord Chu say, this ...... Haha, this is the responsibility of the official, the responsibility that should be fulfilled! ”

Chu Huan said solemnly: "The Holy Lord Qin sent the Lord as a righteous envoy, and he is really as wise as a torch. When I returned to the capital this time, the saint asked, and the lower officials could only report truthfully, and the merit of the adults was great! ”

Xue Huai'an laughed, approached Chu Huan, looked at Chu Huan at this time, only felt unusually cordial, patted Chu Huan in the north, and said warmly: "Lord Chu's contribution to this trip is not small, you can rest assured, when you return to the capital, the official knows what to say." Picked up the wine bag: "Come, Lord Chu, live and die together for you and me, and I will not insult my Daqin and take a sip!" ”

Both of them took a big sip, and Xue Huai'an was really not used to this mare's milk wine, and after drinking it, he coughed a few times before he sighed: "I didn't expect things to be such a result, this Xiliang people's internal strife is not weaker than my Daqin." As soon as the words came out, he felt a little speechless, and hurriedly looked at Chu Huan, but saw that Chu Huan was stirring up the bonfire, and he didn't seem to hear it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Huan stirred up the bonfire a few times to make the bonfire burn more vigorously, then he looked at Xue Huai'an and asked: "My lord, this Xiliang person seems to be very in awe of Xiao Tianwen, I have also heard that this Xiao Tianwen has some ability, but his ability, is he really strong General Feng?" ”

"You mean the general of the protector of the country, Feng Hanxiao?" Xue Huai shook his head and said, "If Xiao Tianwen is stronger than General Feng, this official disagrees. In fact, among the four generals, General Feng's talent in commanding the army is ...... the best! He lowered his voice and said, "The other three generals, although they have their own strengths, are really inferior to General Feng. This Xiao Tianwen is also a genius, but he is still quite inferior to General Feng, and he can only be on par with Lei Guheng and Yu Unyielding. ”

"General Feng is famous in the northwest, I've heard a lot." Chu Huan looked interested, "I've also seen Old General Yu, he is upright, he is old and strong, but the other two generals, the lower officials don't know much." ”

Xue Huai'an said with a smile: "Old General Yu does things, he is old, Lei Guheng, his sex is like fire, but he is too arrogant, his temperament is a little paranoid, and it is not easy to get along." After a pause, he said softly: "If that patriotic general is red-tempered...... Hehe, I also met him a few years ago when he entered Beijing, according to the words of this official, it was an ice lump, although Lei Guheng had an arrogant temperament, but after all, he could still say a few words, this red refining electricity is like ...... Hey......! He wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Huan had already said: "The adults have Haichuan in their minds, and they know everything, so insightful, I am afraid that there are few people in Daqin, if I can get the guidance of the adults from time to time in the future, the lower officials are fortunate to have three lives." ”

Xue Huai'an suddenly floated a little, he just poured a big sip of wine, the liquor made the blood burn a little, patted Chu Huan on the shoulder and said, "You and I have lived and died together, so we will naturally get along well in the future." He said in a low voice: "That red refining electricity, like a dumb man, although I have seen him once, but I have never seen him talk to people, but this person's ability is really good, when he hit Goryeo Bangzi Mountain, the Goryeo people were afraid of him like a tiger...... Originally, this red refining electricity town guards Liaodong Road, Goryeo does not dare to commit, the northeast is worry-free, General Feng guards the northwest, and the people of Xiliang are also respectful of gods, if the two generals have no accidents, my Daqin should not dare to commit in other places, solid as gold, but it is a pity that ......! Shaking his head and sighing.

"Your Excellency, are you talking about the murder of General Feng?"

"yes." Xue Huai'an sighed and said, "If General Feng is alive, where can the people of Xiliang break the Yanmen Pass?" Damn Xiliang people, they can't do it openly, but they come to the dark. ”

Chu Huan was thoughtful and asked softly, "My lord is saying that General Feng must have been killed by the people of Xiliang?" ”

"That's nature." Xue Huai'an said: "The people who want General Feng to die the most are the people of Xiliang, General Feng is alive, they have no chance, so they secretly cause harm." Faintly hearing something in Chu Huan's words, he asked, "Lord Chu, do you think that General Feng's death is for another reason?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said, "My lord said that I was just curious." General Feng I was a hero, and the Thirteenth Taibao was not an ordinary person, but he was easily killed by the Xiliang people, I have never believed in this fact. ”

"Everybody's heartbroken." Xue Huai'an smiled bitterly: "Among the four great generals, I really admire General Feng. General Feng treats people well, although he is the founding of the country, but he never puts on a show, I have spoken to him twice, talking to him, it is exciting. ”

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind." Chu Huan sighed: "General Feng is such a virtuous and brave general, but I don't know if anyone is secretly jealous!" ”

Xue Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then looked around, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Lord Chu, what you said is really unfortunate. ”

Chu Huan was stunned.

Xue Huai'an said in a low voice: "Among the four great generals, General Feng has the best popularity in the court, and he is deeply respected by the Holy Master...... If you don't know, many people feel that General Feng has made great achievements, and his merits are far above the other three generals, but in the end, he is only on an equal footing with the other three generals, and many people feel that it is unfair. I heard rumors that someone had been on the fold to set up a general Tianbao above the general, and the recommended candidate was General Feng, it is said that there are many people in the northwest military who support this, but General Feng is the most fierce support of several generals to depose the army, this matter can be calmed down, but it is just ......! A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Lei Guheng has twelve guards, Chiliandian has the Northeast Army, General Yu is not only highly respected and loved by many people, but also many of his subordinates back then are now the commanders of the guards in various places, and General Yu is also a privy envoy of the Privy Council. You say that these three generals are people who are willing to live under others? ”

Chu Huan listened carefully and thoughtfully.

"These three generals, they are all founding fathers, which one is not experienced in a hundred battles? Which one is not a success in a hundred battles? Xue Huai'an sighed lightly: "You said that you suddenly let General Feng be above them. Are they really convinced? Even if these generals are not competitive, what about their subordinates? If General Feng becomes the Great General of Tianbao, the Northwest Army will be one head higher than the other legions, and the commanders of the Twelve Guards Army, the Northeast Army and the Guards Army under General Yu Lao will be convinced? ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "In this way, those people who recommended General Feng as the Great General of Tianbao have harmed General Feng?" ”

"Maybe it wasn't meant to be so, but it turned out to put General Feng in a difficult situation." Xue Huai'an said softly: "This is many years ago, although General Feng deposed many of his confidants and favorite generals, and there are also many military officers and soldiers in Beijing who are implicated in him, General Feng took the lead, and several other generals are also thinking about the overall situation, and many generals involved in this matter have been dismissed, and the matter has finally calmed down." However, this matter seemed to have subsided, but after all, there was a rift between several generals. The relationship between General Feng and Lei Guheng was not bad back then, but because of this incident, the relationship between the two became cold. As for the general of the red refining electricity, he was already at odds with General Feng, it is said that when he conquered the world, the two had contradictions, and after this incident, they did not get along with each other, but fortunately, the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were in the north and the south, otherwise these two factions would have to fight. ”

Chu Huan said: "General Red Refining Electric has a grudge against General Feng? ”

"That's why you and I are sitting here talking about wine." Xue Huaian said in a low voice: "But there are very few people who know about this matter, but no one dares to mention it." What kind of grudge they have, in fact, no one can say, but it is rumored that the two generals once used knives, if it was not for the Holy Lord personally persuaded him, it would be a fight to the death. I know a little about General Feng's temperament, he is a good talker, and if he can use a knife, the feud between the two must be not small. ”
