Yu Wentai was already extremely shameless in his heart, and he saw that Hou Jing was acting completely selfishly, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice others. The so-called family and country society have no size in his heart, even if the country is prosperous and the country is lost, it is not as good as him to plan for himself. Yu Wentai said with a smile, "The county lord is really in a good way, and the black otter admires it very much." ”

Seeing that Yuwentai was pleased, Hou Jing whispered, "It's just that the black otter must understand that I can tolerate the prime minister, and Xianbei Xiaoer may not be able to tolerate the prime minister." If the prime minister doesn't save him in time, I'm afraid your lord will be in danger. Wanjing is willing to help the prime minister get out of trouble. ”

Yu Wentai couldn't help but be shocked when he heard him say so clearly, and looked up at Hou Jing, who also looked at him, but his face was calm.

"I have the same wish as Gong." Yu Wentai also stared at Hou Jing to express his heart.

Li Bi and Gao Cheng fought together, Gao Cheng didn't know Li Bi originally, but he didn't expect him to be so brave. Li Bi was actually even more surprised than Gao Cheng, there were only a handful of opponents who could fight him for a long time and be indistinguishable from him.

Chen Yuankang took the ingot torch directly, and there were only a few cavalry of the Western Wei Army around the ingot torch, and he was already tired and unable to fight again. Li Bi wanted to be distracted and pay attention to Chen Yuankang, but Gao Cheng could go all out to deal with Li Bi.

Seeing that the sky was clear and the two armies were distinct, Gao Cheng simply took off the light red sandalwood bow between the wrong horses.

"How dare you hurt my lord?!" Li Bi immediately understood Gao Cheng's intentions and came up to intercept him.

Chen Yuankang also understood what Gao Cheng meant, and as a helper, he naturally had to remove obstacles for Gao Cheng.

When they were entangled and inseparable, they suddenly heard angry shouts.

"Don't be alarmed, Lord, come too." Yuwentai suddenly fell from the sky.

Hearing that the prime minister was back, Li Bi subconsciously took the horse to turn around and look back. Gao Cheng took advantage of this gap to shoot at Yuwentai with his bow and arrows, taking advantage of his unstable foothold to attack him.

Yuwentai was still a step late, he didn't expect Gao Cheng's arrow to shoot at him instead of the ingot torch, but at him. Gao Cheng put three arrows on the bowstring, so that he could shoot with enough arm strength. Yuwentai himself understood that it was too late, and no matter how much he dodged, he only avoided two arrows, and the other arrow hit the mount. Coincidentally, he shot the horse in the right eye.

Dawan Ma howled like madness in pain, and jumped to throw Yuwentai off his horse.

This series of accidents and changes in the situation almost stunned everyone.

At the critical moment, Zhao Gui was the first to reflect, and when he saw Yu Jin beside him, he shouted loudly, "Yu Sijing is not going to stop this shaft!" ”

Yu Jin has always been the vanguard in front of the battle, and he has a very tacit understanding with Zhao Gui, so he immediately understood what Zhao Gui meant, and led the army to rush up to intercept the Eastern Wei army. Then Li Bi also understood, and led people to hug forward. Gao Cheng didn't have time to capture Yuwentai, who had fallen alive, but was stopped by the Western Wei army, and together with Chen Yuankang, he tried his best to break away from the encirclement of Yu Jin, Li Bi and others.

It turned out to be the Yuan Bao Torch that reflected first, and ordered someone to help Yu Wentai up, and Yu Wentai was helped on the horse, Zhao Gui and Li Hu and others quickly protected Yu Wentai and the Yuan Bao Torch to the west. It wasn't until he ran a certain distance that Zhao Gui breathed a sigh of relief. I knew in my heart that Yu Jin and Li Bi would definitely be able to stop Gao Cheng and Chen Yuankang. Although it is impossible for Hou Jing to help, he will be able to let him go, so he can be regarded as out of danger.

The river bridge was gained and lost for the Western Wei army, and lost and regained for the Eastern Wei army. The battle between the two armies was so dangerous, which was something that Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai had not thought of before. But at this point, no one will stop first, and the future results can only be resigned to fate.

Outside Heyin City, Hou Jing and Hou He are here.

The dark clouds were thick and heavy, piling up in the sky like clumps and blocks, and there was no trace of the sun, and the day was dusk.

"When the general arrives, you might as well be more diligent, and ask for orders to follow the general to pursue Xikou." Hou Jing said to his son Hou He, he couldn't see that there was a little bit of thinking about Hou He, it was more like using it, which made Hou He a little dissatisfied, but he didn't refute it, he should only claim that it was.

Heyin City, in the east of Mengjin, is full of gloomy atmosphere.

The county government is dilapidated and has not been repaired for a long time. Although Gao Cheng has been sleeping in the open since this dispatch of troops, he has not been comfortable for a long time, but he really can't bear this kind of dilapidation. He stood in the courtyard of the county government and looked around, and he could see that Hou Jing still ordered someone to carefully clean up and sprinkle it. Although it is shabby, it is still neat and organized.

He looked up, and there were still heavy dark clouds in the sky, as if they were pressing heavily overhead, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or dusk. Gao Cheng didn't have a good impression of Heyin City in his heart, and he couldn't stand this **** gloomy weather.

Heyin City is a place with a strong tragic color. It has witnessed the brutal massacre of the imperial family and hundreds of officials by the former courtier, Er Zhurong, and it was once full of blood. Maybe there was a river of blood in the courtyard of this county office, maybe the dark sky was because of the souls of injustice.

"Is the general tired?" Hou Jing, who was following Gao Cheng, saw that he had been standing in the courtyard looking left and right, and he seemed to be full of worries, and he didn't know what Gao Cheng was thinking, so he urged, "The lower official has prepared vegetable food, please go in and rest for a while, so as to relieve the fatigue of the past few days." ”

Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze and turned around. He only wore hakama and two crotch armor today, which made it easy to move and not as heavy as the Mingguang armor. As he turned around, his black hair swayed on his shoulders as he moved.

In Hou Jing's opinion, those green eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling were staring at him, just like a wolf on the grassland, his eyes were sharp, making him uncomfortable, obviously Gao Cheng did not regard him as a friend.

"Situ collected the lost land in Henan and returned to the army to save me, running back and forth, wouldn't it be harder than me?" Gao Cheng said with a smile.

Hou Jing sounded like he had something in his words, and he didn't mean anything. "The general is a person who does great things, just like the general of Tianzhu that day, Wanjing doesn't dare to look at the general's back, how dare he compare himself?" Hou Jing put aside the topic just now and smiled flatteringly. In his heart, he secretly scolded this humble child, who was so big that he secretly gritted his teeth.

Er Zhurong is a person that Gao Cheng is very disgusted with, and he doesn't want to mention it, not to mention that Er Zhurong brutally killed and lost the hearts of the people, Er Zhurong finally died at the hands of his own emperor Yuan Ziyou, and there was no good end, at this moment Hou Jing compared him to Er Zhurong, how could he not know his sinister intentions and derogatory meaning? Regarding Hou Jing's intentions, he now knows far more than that.

"The Yuwen Black Otter is close in front of him, and Situ still has the heart to think about who is the Tianzhu General, and he really has a heart." Gao Cheng smiled lightly. Gao Cheng knew in his heart, but on the surface, he couldn't bear it, he didn't want to argue with Hou Jing about meaningless things at this time.

Hou Jing was quietly dismissed by his heavy fist, and immediately smiled and said, "Since the general is eager to fight with the Yuwen Black Otter, Wan Jing will not give up, and he is willing to listen to the general's dispatch." At this time, it is necessary to clearly show one's loyalty.

"General!" Hou Jing's son, General Wuwei, Hou He, suddenly said loudly to Gao Cheng on the side.

Gao Cheng was just about to talk to Hou Jing, but was interrupted by Hou He's shout, and looked back at him strangely, wondering what he meant.

"The lower officer asks for orders to follow the general to pursue the Yuwen black otter and let the general send him." Hou He stared at Gao Cheng and clenched his fists and asked for his life.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, and glanced at Hou Jing.

Hou Jing trembled when he saw it, and immediately shouted angrily at his son, "Where do you have the right to speak? He turned his head to look at Gao Cheng again, "Whether to go or stay, please decide to the general." As if he didn't dare to look directly at Gao Cheng, his eyes were dodgy.

The wind was blowing, and although it was not very windy, the hunting west wind seemed to disperse some of the heavy clouds, and finally made the sky a little more alive, and there was even a weak ray of sunlight showing through the clouds. The wind blowing on the cheeks was a bit like the pain of a knife cut, but it was still better than the lifeless one just now.

Chen Yuankang has been standing on the side and watching, always feeling that the son of the world is not the son of the past, and there is a difference in the past few days.

"Situ Gong knows better than me that the Heyin Fortress is very important to hold the passage to and fro." Gao Cheng ignored Hou He, stared at Hou Jing and smiled, "King Gao often said to me that Situ is a person who can do great things, and he can be entrusted with important tasks when he is about big things. I thought that Situ was in charge of Heyin to make me feel most at ease, and if King Gao knew that I had handed over the fortress of Heyin to Situ to secure the passage, King Gao would definitely approve of me. ”

After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he still looked at Hou Jing with a smile, making others feel that he was looking forward to Hou Jing's attitude.

Hou Jing invisibly felt a lot of pressure, and hated Gao Cheng in his heart. said that it was a "heavy task", but it was just to throw Heyin City to him, so that he could be contained here. also used King Gao to pressure him, in fact, it was a warning, and he would be responsible for the problem, otherwise King Gao, who might not even know about the matter, would hold him accountable. Could it be that Gao Cheng doesn't trust him anymore? Yuwen Black Otter is close in front of him, but he throws him a gloomy Heyin City for him to defend? In fact, he didn't like this gloomy place either.

Hou Jing's anger and resentment turned into emotion and excitement on the surface, and he thanked him, "Did King Gao really say that? King Gao and the general trusted and treated Wanjing so much, Wanjing was grateful, and naturally did his best to assist the general, and obeyed the general's order, living up to King Gao's praise. He was almost eager to see it.

"I am very pleased that Situ said this." Gao Cheng's green eyes stared at him and smiled. He hurriedly turned to look at Hou He again, and commanded in a condescending manner, "General Wuwei has the heart to make meritorious contributions, and at this time, you can go with me." ”

Hou He is older than Gao Cheng, and he has been staying in front of the great prime minister Gao Huan, almost watching with his own eyes how Gao Cheng became the prince of Gao, how Princess Shang became the captain of the horse, and how he became a high rank in the middle and high positions, and then stepped into the temple of Yecheng to assist the government with the respect of the general. At this time, he treated him with such a condescending posture as a high position, and Hou He was also very resentful in his heart, but he could only obey orders.

People came and went in the courtyard of the county government, and only Hou Jing was left looking up at the gloomy sky like Gao Cheng just now. The wind stopped, and it was lifeless again.

The slave and maid asked for orders and said that all the food and wine had been prepared, and invited the lord to go in and eat. Hou Jing remembered Gao Cheng's arrogant and self-satisfied appearance just now, and he was angry in his heart, and he waved his sleeves impatiently to drive the slave away. Seeing that his face was not good, no one dared to say a word more.

As night fell, away from Heyin City, the night sky by the water became clearer. One day, the stars were brilliant, and a thin touch of the first quarter moon hung in the sky. The winter night in Luoyang has never been so clear in Gao Cheng's memory. Lingering in the dance pavilion and singing platform, entangled in the temple and mansion, when he was young, he never even had a good look at what the night in Luoyang was like, and when he was young, he always flashed like a white horse passing through a gap.

By the river, the camp of the Eastern Wei army had fallen into a quiet night. After fighting for days, running from place to place, winning and losing, it was impossible to tell who won and who lost, and the war entered a stalemate. In this state, people even forget their original intentions and are at a loss to know tomorrow.

The bonfire is warm and bright, and the night by the river becomes warm and beautiful. For some reason, Gao Cheng suddenly remembered that there was a plum blossom in the courtyard where Yuan Zhonghua lived in the Bohai Mansion in Luoyang, and he had heard Yuan Zhonghua's flute playing several times when he was dancing at night. I vaguely remember seeing her playing the flute under the plum tree at night despite the spring cold.

Watching her grow up by his side day by day, everything in the past gradually faded and could not be remembered clearly. Remembering that before, he didn't seem to pay much attention to her. But now it's different, and he will actually worry about her at this time. What surprised him even more was that he asked himself, didn't he know if she would also care about him? She said that everyone in the world came to compete with her for him, so it was better to put it aside and not want to. Later, every time he went to look for her, she always refused, as if he had made her unbearable, did she really put it aside and didn't want to?

"Shizi ......" was struggling in his heart, when suddenly Chen Yuankang's voice sounded in his ears. Gao Cheng turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw that Chen Yuankang was already sitting down beside him by the bonfire, looking at him with a questioning face.

Chen Yuankang had already seen Gao Cheng sitting alone by the bonfire and was preoccupied, and when he got closer, he was still unconscious, frowning and contemplating motionless like a wood carved clay sculpture. I thought he was thinking about the war, so he called "Shizi." Who knew that Gao Cheng would not even be able to call a few times, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

I finally heard it, as if I had been suddenly awakened, and looked at him as if I didn't know him, and my mind was completely out of here. This surprised Chen Yuankang, I don't know what the prince is thinking in his heart to make him so devoted.

"Brother Changyou......" Gao Cheng finally reflected, called Chen Yuankang, and seemed to not know what to say to him for a while, a little reluctant.

"Shizi is worried about the Yuwen Black Otter?" Chen Yuankang asked.

"Yuwen Black Otter ......" Gao Cheng turned his head to look at the bonfire in front of him and was silent again, subconsciously picked up the dry branches on the ground in front of him and threw them into the bonfire, and it took a while before he finally slowly recovered and looked as usual. What about Hou He? He asked suddenly.
