The wind in the north of Xinjiang is cold and wild.

The fire in the backyard of the General's Mansion spread in an instant. There is a way that the wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. Once the fire spreads, it can no longer be controlled. What's more, Meng Tian had already made the idea of burning the jade and stones, and piled up more dry firewood and oil and other items in the backyard. Therefore, with the help of these ignitions, the entire General's Mansion instantly turned into a sea of fire.

The king was stunned!

He couldn't have imagined that Meng Tian, who had always been gentle, would actually use such violent means.

He had already rushed into the sixth courtyard, and he was about to storm the gate of the inner house. The ironclad soldiers under Meng Tian died countless battles, and there were only two or three hundred people left. As long as he breaks the inner house and plays this game with Meng Tian, he Wang Li can be regarded as a big victory.

Who knew that Meng Tian had resorted to such a method, so that Wang Li didn't know what to do for a while.

Speaking of which, he and Meng Tian have no deep hatred, and even have some blood relations. Wang Li's father, Wang Ben, and Meng Tian's father, Meng Wu, were both from the Lantian camp back then, and later served together under Wang Qian, so they can be regarded as very close to each other.

Wang Li's sister-in-law is also married to the Meng family.

It's just that the Wang family was so prosperous back then, and two generations of famous generals were destined to become the most capable family around the first emperor. The Meng family is different. Whether it is Meng Fu or Meng Wu, although his military achievements are outstanding, he is far from being comparable to Wang Jian and his son. Growing up in such an environment, Wang Li himself has a sense of superiority. Moreover, his background is indeed better than Meng Tian.

Wang Li has been serving in the army.

After Meng Tian came out of the Lantian camp, he gave up his military position and served as the Xianyang Commander. Then he was transferred to the army, which was relatively more complicated.

Wang Li thinks he is more powerful than Meng Tian. But I didn't expect it. has been repeatedly pressed by Meng Tian.

Especially the decisive battle between Henan and the Xiongnu. made Wang Li even more dissatisfied with Meng Tian. Confucianism of Zhao once said: Human nature is inherently evil. Maybe it's a bit biased. But not without reason. According to the Christian doctrine of later generations. Jealousy is an innate sin. Jealousy together. It makes people lose a lot of things. Growing paranoia. More and more narrow-minded. Until one day it explodes.

Wang Li should be regarded as a typical place of this kind......

"Firefighting. Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

When the fire spreads outward. Half of Jiuyuan City was affected.

Rushed into the general's mansion and the Qin army. Under the pressure of the blazing fire. Had to retreat temporarily. Enter the courtyard from the sixth. Retreat to the fourth courtyard. Wrap around so. Many died in the fire. Stand in the courtyard of the courtyard. Wang Li could still feel the blazing flames.

"Where is the thief?"

Wang Li couldn't help but ask the soldiers on the side.

"General, the general was seen sitting upright in the hall of the inner mansion before, and no one has seen him since the fire broke out."

"Mobilize the Jiuyuan soldiers to extinguish the fire."

Wang Li ordered. Then there was a handful of heralds who grabbed the herald. "Pass my orders and keep a close patrol. Don't let go of a single fish.

Meng Tian lit a fire at this time, maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to break through. Command the City Gate Army. Seal off the streets around this mansion for me. No one can pass without my orders...... I don't believe that he Meng Tian can really care about life and death? ”

"General, the matter of supervising the army must be handled carefully."

A staff member whispered in Wang Li's ear.

Yes, Zhao Sheng's matter is indeed a trouble. No matter how Wang Li doesn't look down on this guy, he represents the court after all.

He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"When the prison soldiers died, most of the people they saw were the general's cronies. In addition, it is those CRRC Fu Cheshi. But he ordered someone to gather these people together, and then ......" The staff made a murderous gesture, and then continued: "To the outside world, just tell the court, and the overseer army will lead his troops to pursue the remnants." Anyway, this fight, either I kill someone, or someone kills me, who can say what it is? ”

Wang Li smiled and suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The humble name is Zhang Zai, a native of Shangjun!"

"Zhang Zai?" Wang Li patted him on the shoulder, "You have a very good idea, so it's up to you to come forward to solve this matter......"

As he spoke, the fire in front of him had been controlled, and Wang Li didn't think about anything else, and walked away with his own soldiers. Although the fire was very fierce, fortunately, these courtyards had been destroyed once, and there were not too many combustibles. Walking on the ground, you can still feel the heat of the ground through your boots. The fire in the seventh courtyard was also controlled, but Wang Li could not take a single step.

Dead bodies everywhere......

All of them are Mengtian's ironclad soldiers.

At the height of the fire, not a single person came out to surrender, and everyone was lying on their heads on the ground, and the blood was black all over the ground. Turning over the body of a person, Wang Li couldn't help frowning. These people all killed themselves, which made him gasp.

Even if it is death, you must die like an old Qin person.

In the face of the enemy's self-slaughter, this custom of Lao Qin, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, made Wang Li's cheeks twitch non-stop.

Meng Tian sat upright in the hall, leaning against a jade screen, neatly dressed, with a mocking smile on his face.

On the stone table in front of him, there is a bronze knight.

The place of death was peaceful, and he should have committed suicide by taking poison......

"Leave, if one day, when you and I are faced with a desperate situation, how will you choose?"

The words of chatting with Meng Tian when they were in the same camp in Lantian suddenly echoed in their ears.

Wang Li was in high spirits, waved his arms and said loudly: "I am Lao Qin, I will die in battle, and I will never retreat...... Lao Meng, how will you choose? ”

"Me...... I'm most afraid of pain! Meng Tian replied with a grin: "If possible, I would rather drink a jue of poisoned wine." I have heard that if a person dies without bloodshed, he will be able to remember the memories of his past life in the next life. At that time, I can still carry my sword and mount the horse to kill the enemy for my Great Qin. ”

At the time. Meng Tian's answer was despised by Wang Li's jealousy.

Now, Meng Tian seems to have fulfilled his wish......

Would you rather die than admit defeat to me and surrender to me?

For some reason, the moment Wang Li saw Meng Tian's corpse. There was no joy in my heart, it was empty, as if I had lost my soul.

Is it really going to get this far?

In fact, no matter who we are loyal to, aren't we all fighting for Great Qin?

Wang Li turned and walked out of the hall, standing on the steps without saying a word for a long time.

"General. There are still two little generals who are not in the city, you see......"

Zhang spoke again and reminded Wang Li. Oh, yes. Neither of them was stationed in Jiuyuan. You can't run away with these two.

"Zhang Zai, you immediately send someone to Xiangting with my tiger talisman and escort Meng Ji Meng Ke to Jiuyuan City."

Xiangting, located in the west of Zhaowang City in Shangjun, north of Fushi, close to Shenmuling, is an extremely important pass in Shangjun. Two brothers. led the two songs. Stationed there. Wang Li didn't think about cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots, but let their brothers continue to lead the army. It's a real threat. If the soldiers and horses of the two of them were gone, Meng Meng Ke would be even more powerful. It's useless either.

Zhang nodded again and took the order.

The sky was already dark, and the fire had been extinguished.

However, in the general's mansion, there are no corpses of Fusu and others. Wang Li realized that things seemed to be out of his control, and was just about to order another search, when a junior colonel suddenly came to report: "General Qiqi, the big thing is not good...... Half an hour ago, a group of people suddenly appeared in the west of Jiuyuan City, killed the soldiers guarding the gate, and took the gate out of the city. ”

Wang was a chilling cicada from the spirit of the spirit, half an hour ago? Isn't it when the fire in the General's Mansion is raging?

"Why are you reporting now?"

"General, at that time, the whole city was fighting the fire here, and there were only a dozen pawns left in the west of the city. Those men were so fierce that they didn't run away.

By the time we arrived, they were gone......

Ahhh

Wang Li couldn't help but slap his feet fiercely, turned around suddenly, and stared at the hall where Meng Tian's corpse was, his face was a little terrifying.

"Old Meng, is this your idea?

You would rather die than cover their escape. Set this General's Mansion on fire and let them take advantage of the chaos to leave Jiuyuan, yes or no? ”

Wang Li gritted his teeth with hatred. But after a moment, he suddenly sighed. If this is the case, doesn't that mean that Meng Tian is a hundred times smarter than him? In other words, in the midst of chaos, all the decisions made by Wang Li were under Meng Tiandi's control. Meng Tian, Meng Tian, you are really dead and you have to fight against me...... But do you think you're really going to succeed?

"Immediately pass my order, from Jiuyuan to the west, Yiliang, Chengyi, Heyin to Xi'anyang line of soldiers and horses, all enter the state of imminent battle. Checkpoints are set up along the way, and no one is allowed to pass through without my seal letter. If you do not obey the order, you will be killed. ”

"Whoa!"

The soldiers hurriedly gave the order.

But Wang Li slowly walked to the door of the hall, looked at Meng Tian's corpse inside, and clenched his fists with both hands.

Fighting, maybe you Meng Tian is really powerful......

But do you know the prime minister's methods?

You saved the eldest prince with your life, but you didn't know that you were falling into the prime minister's calculations. The difference between dying one day earlier and dying one day later, why bother?

When the General's Mansion caught fire, Liu Kan and others happened to come out of an abandoned ancestral hall in the west of the city, which was only a few hundred steps away from the west gate.

The fire was blazing, and the defenders of the city gate were all transferred.

Inside the west gate of Nuodadi, there are only a dozen guards guarding it. Liu Kan and these people were all galloping across horses, and before those doormen could react, they had already rushed in front of them. Twenty-six men and twenty-four horses, like mad tigers, slaughtered the doormen.

After successfully escaping from the west gate of the city, Liu Kan and the others did not dare to stay and went straight to the direction of Fuping.

It was only around noon that they stopped and rested in a secluded place. Fusu woke up at this time and called Meng Tian's name softly.

"Where is the General? Where is the General? ”

"Brother, I'm Guo'er, I'm Guo'er......"

Winning fruit called out repeatedly. called Liu Kanlai again, "Junhou, my imperial brother is awake!" ”

Liu Kan hurriedly stepped forward and walked to Fusu's side.

Stretched out his hand and tried Fusudi's body temperature, which seemed to be a little hot.

"The eldest prince. I'm Liu Kan! ”

"But it's a prince!" Fusu's spirit was a little sluggish, he held Liu Kan's hand and asked in a low voice, "Junhou, where are we?"

Where is the Admiral? ”

Liu Kan really didn't know if he should tell Fusu about Meng Tian.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Fusu the truth. After all, this kind of thing can't be hidden for too long. The longer the concealment was held, the greater the blow to Fusu.

"Eldest Prince, we are now outside Jiuyuan City. Head west. Around dark, we could reach Heyin County.

Admiral he ...... Son, you must hold on. In order to cover our escape from Jiuyuan City, the general is afraid that he has already fallen! ”

Fusu was stunned, and Peng grabbed Liu Kan's arm, and his face showed a flush.

"General him, he. He's ...... What's wrong? ”

"Brother. General, he's gone! ”

"Ahh......h

Fusu couldn't help but scream. The wound burst open, and the blood instantly stained his shirt. And Fusu. seemed to be unaware, and couldn't help but let out a sad voice, "It's all me who hurt the general, it's me who hurt the general...... If I hadn't decided to keep the king in Jiuyuan, how could this kind of thing happen? ”

In fact, Meng Tian had intended to let Wang leave Zhenyunzhong County.

But Fusu thought twice and finally refused. The reason is simple, he hopes that there will be someone left in Jiuyuan County to balance Meng Tian. After all, although Fusu trusted Meng Tian, he didn't want Meng Tian to have too much power in the army, causing an uncontrollable situation.

And the only person who can restrain Meng Tian is Wang Li.

Unexpectedly, it was his momentary selfishness at that time that created a disaster.

Fusu blamed himself and soon fell into a coma again. Liu Kan asked Yingguo to help, removed the original bandages on Fusu's body, took out a roll of treated bandages from his bag, used herbs to control the wound, and then tied it with bandages, which can be regarded as a breath of relief.

"Little princess, the road from here to Fuping is long and bumpy...... The situation of the eldest prince is really not suitable for long-distance travel. ”

At this moment, the winning fruit is no longer as immature as before.

She said softly: "Junhou, Uncle Meng has explained, we must rush to Fuping as soon as possible, and meet with the Heping Hou." I also know that my brother's injury is not suitable for a long journey, but now we have no other way, and I ask the prince to pay more

Liu Kan couldn't help scratching his head.

After thinking about it, he found Ha Wuliang, and after whispering a few words, Ha Wuliang turned around and left.

"Little princess, it is definitely impossible to ride a horse, I asked Xiao Ha to try to find a carriage nearby, and then we escorted the eldest prince away.

In the daytime, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk, so it's best to go on the road after dark.

You can't go straight either, and Wang Li will definitely send someone to set up checkpoints on the way...... So we have to take the path. It's just that in this way, it may be delayed for some time. In this case, I will send someone to Fuping first and ask Pinghou for some answers.

Let's do it both ways, what do you think? ”

"But by the orders of the prince!"

In this way, after Ha Wuliang found the carriage, Liu Kan and others carried Fusu into the car, let Yingguo rest in the car, Tu Tu drove, and Ha Wuliang and Liu Xin were responsible for guarding on the side. Liu Kan himself, with the eight Loufu cavalry that belonged to him, opened the road along the way. As for how did this carriage come about? What kind of means did Ha Wuliang use? Liu Kan could only ignore it temporarily.

After dark, the group turned into the trail and marched. As Liu Kan guessed, checkpoints were set up on the straight road from Jiuyuan to the Northland.

Wang Li used the tiger talisman to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jiuyuan County, and searched for the whereabouts of Liu Kan and others along the way. Fortunately, Liu Kan and others were cautious and did not leave any clues.

However, the real trouble has arisen inadvertently.

When Liu Kan and others bypassed Hangjinpo (where the Hangjinqi of Inner Mongolia is located today), the wound in Fusudi became inflamed, accompanied by a high fever.

Although Lang Zhong treated Fusu's wounds earlier, it was not thorough enough after all.

Running along the way, the wound ruptures. Liu Kan was forced by the constraints, although he was proficient in bandaging, he could only deal with it hastily. The body is not good, and the mood is depressed. As for eating the ground, it was also raw and cold to deal with things. Fusu's injuries worsened.

The high fever did not go away, and he began to talk nonsense.

Suddenly shouted the name of the first emperor, suddenly scolded Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and suddenly cried in a low voice, chanting a woman's name.

It was Fusu's mother's name.

At this time, it was the weakest period of Fusu.

"Junhou, if you go on like this, I'm afraid it won't work!" Ha Wuliang couldn't help but whispered: "Looking at the situation of the eldest prince, it's not very good. ”

Liu Kan didn't know that it couldn't go on like this.

But he can't help it......

"Junhou, I remember that when we were in Yangcaogou yesterday, there was a market town over there. Maybe there will be characters like Lang Zhong. If it really doesn't work, let's grab a Lang Zhong over? By the way, you can also grab some herbs, maybe it will be good for the eldest prince. ”

Sheep grass ditch?

Liu Kan had such an impression. However, I was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to it. There does seem to be a market town, and it's not that far away. If you rush back now, if all goes well, you'll be back before dawn.

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that my whereabouts will be exposed.

Turning his head to look at Fusu, Liu Kan couldn't help but pause lightly. If Fusu really had an accident, even if he didn't show his whereabouts, it would be a bamboo basket to draw water. Saving Fusu's life is the most important thing right now. If his whereabouts are really exposed, he will kill his mother in a bloody way. Thinking of this, Liu Kan took a deep breath and nodded, agreeing with Ha Wuliang's idea.

He talked to Ying Guo about it again, and Ying Guo didn't have any objections.

"Second uncle, I'll go with you!"

Liu Xin strode forward, looked at Liu Kan and said.

"Faith, you stay to protect the little princess." Liu Kan rejected Liu Xin's request. In his opinion, it is also very important to protect Fusu.

Although Ha Wuliang is loyal, when it comes to martial arts, he is much inferior to Liu Xin.

"Letter, wait here for me to come back. This is over...... Let's go home together. Liu Xin bit his lip and nodded vigorously. He dragged his mace and sat on the ground next to the wheel. Tu Tu sorted out his weapons, put on armor, flew on his horse with Liu Kan, and returned along the road he came from with eight Lou Fu cavalry soldiers.

At this point, it will be dark.

But I saw dark clouds surging in the sky, rolling towards this side.

The wind is blowing!

Liu Kan subconsciously clenched the red flag handle, looked up at the sky, and said in his heart: It's really a mountain rain, it's a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings......
