"If I could, I would still fight for you, let's go!"

Ye Ruoxin slowly pulled down the curtain and stopped talking.

When he heard Ye Ruoxin's words at eleven o'clock, he was also very excited, and then kowtowed a few more times, and then guarded around Ye Ruoxin's carriage, as if to shield Ye Ruoxin from the wind.

The husband is the ambition, the poor should be strong, and the old should be strong!

The wind and snow were thousands of miles, and the convoy was crushed in the heavy snow, leaving a long axle imprint, all the way through, and the footprints were slowly submerged by time.

"It's great, I hope General Nangong can arrive in time!"

The good news immediately reached the ears of the generals of Chenguan, after Jiang Baiyan saw the letter, joy came to his face, Lu Xuan led the troops not long ago, but he also heard the murderous name of Nangong Anger, and saw that everyone was happy, he was also very happy, only Xin He did not have too many expressions on his face, he was still haunted by the past.

"How are those barbarians doing?"

Liu Fa suddenly thought of the more than 1,000 barbarians who surrendered when the city was broken, Liu Fa is not a person who loves to kill, and he can't do the thing of letting the tiger return to the mountain, but now there is some chaos in the army, and these barbarians don't know how to do it?

The dust is newly settled, and Wan will not be able to withstand any twists and turns.

"I was about to say it, now the city has been strengthened, the city lord's mansion and most of the city have been built, during this period of time the grain and grass are getting less and less, and the food for these barbarians has also been reduced, but these barbarians don't have too many complaints, which is also strange!"

"Ah, that's it!"

Everyone also exclaimed, Liu Fa glanced at Xin He, and then said: "If we have time, let's go and have a look together to see if they can be used by us!" ”

"You can give it a try!"

Jiang Baiyan also nodded, and looked at Qing Yunfei again, Qing Yunfei was originally from a barbarian race, if he was allowed to go, it might be easier.

"So, it's okay, I can try it if I have the chance!"

Qing Yunfei saw everyone's eyes and smiled.

"Report, general, there are people outside the mansion who want to see you!"

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall, it was the attendant in Liu Fa's residence.

"Who is it?"

Liu Fa frowned, if it was someone he knew, he would have come in directly, and someone else asked to see him, which really surprised him.

"Back to the general's words, a group of seven people, subordinates, I don't know who they are!"

The attendant was a little embarrassed, he took the silver taels from the people at the door, and when he was so happy, he forgot to ask who they were.

"Well, let them in!"

Liu Fa was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to discipline the attendant, waved his hand, and then let the people outside the door come in, just before he patronized the letter, he also forgot about the people in the inn, and heard the attendant talk about a group of seven people, and immediately thought of the people in the inn.

"Liu, Brother Liu, it's been a long time!"

Mu Qingchen stood at the door, saw Liu Fa at a glance, was stunned at first, and then hugged his fists, with a warm smile on his face.

Just now he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door from the inn, and now in the cold winter wax moon, the sound of horses' hooves is also very loud, and he took a quick look, but found that the horse stopped at the door of the inn, and under curiosity, he walked downstairs, and Liu Fa and his party had already left at that time.

It was also a coincidence, at that time, Shui Yao was downstairs and the guys were cleaning up the leftovers on the table, and Mu Qingchen also inquired casually, but he didn't expect to really ask about something from Shui Yao's mouth.

"Brother Mu, you ...... How did you come to the dust and still dress like this? Liu Fa was also taken aback when he saw Mu Qingchen walking in with ** Wei, he hadn't seen him for a few months, Mu Qingchen had also changed a lot, and today he was also dressed in a barbarian robe, how could he not surprise Liu Fa.

"Childe, long time no see!"

Xin He also recognized Mu Qingchen at a glance, and when he saw Mu Qingchen, he also arched his hand and gave a slight salute, in the past, Mu Qingchen was also very good to Xin He, Xin He's temper has always been tricky and mean, few people are not disgusted, and even ** Wei is also respectful of Xin He.

"Mr. Xin, it's been a long time!"

When Mu Qingchen heard Xin He's voice, he immediately saluted and said hello.

At this time, Qing Yunfei and the others saw that these people were familiar with Liu Fa, and they all retired one after another, no longer bothering Liu Fa to catch up with his old friends.

"It's been almost half a year since I said goodbye, how is Brother Mu?"

Liu Fa personally poured a glass of wine for Mu Qingchen, and then received it with both hands in Mu Qingchen's hands, looking at Mu Qingchen, he was also very happy.

still remembers that when he was in Pingnan Mansion, Mu Qingchen's younger brother teased Ye Ruoxin, and was taught a lesson by Ye Ruoxin once, and later forced himself to fight with him, it is undeniable that Mu Qingchen is a righteous person.

Although Mu Qingchen has a cold temper, when Liu Fa was in danger several times, it was also thanks to Mu Qingchen, otherwise Liu Fa would not know where he was now.

Mu Qingchen drank the wine in the cup, his heart was bitter, he looked at Liu Fa and Xin He, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to say, there is almost no place for me in the southwest now!" ”

Saying that, Mu Qingchen sighed, and then smiled again: "But Brother Liu is gratifying now, after a half-year, Brother Liu has already entered the dust pass and is the dominant Southern Prison!" ”

Liu Fa waved his hand, looked at Mu Qingchen, and asked again, "Is the situation in the southwest so urgent?" ”

Liu Fa frowned, seeing that Mu Qingchen didn't seem to be lying, his heart was also terrified.

"What, Brother Liu doesn't know?"

Mu Qingchen saw that Liu Fa seemed to be unaware of the war in the southwest, and then said: "Brother Liu, Dali, send troops!" ”

"What?"

Liu Fa was shocked, then glanced at Xin He, and saw that Xin He was also shocked, and his heart sank.

"In this cold winter, how can Dali send troops?"

Liu Fa really can't understand that when the South Prison was in danger before, Dali was immovable, and now he is going directly to the north, this kind of weather is really not an opportunity to use troops!

"Alas, it's not because of the Cao family, the Cao family offended the prince of Dali before, if it was in the past, the Cao family may not be afraid of Dali, after all, it is far away, but now it is different, the southwest is now full of soldiers, and the four surnames are forced to have nowhere to live by the barbarians, and the original court also sent troops to help, but I heard that there was another war in the northwest, and the soldiers and horses of the court were withdrawn."

Mu Qingchen sighed, although he was reluctant to say it, but now that the Southwest Mansion has become like this, he, the young master of the Mu Mansion, is really not as good as before, so he has to lower his head and find a way to solve the crisis in the Southwest.

Liu Fa roughly heard what Mu Qingchen meant, and he still understood the truth of his lips and teeth, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Brother Mu, now Dali has been ...... with the barbarians."

Mu Qingchen shook his head and interrupted Liu Fa's words. Then he said: "Now the southwest is like a piece of fat, everyone wants to tear a piece down, the barbarian front is too long, and he wants to take the south prison and the southwest directly in one breath, and now the south prison has been pacified by Brother Liu, I have to say, Brother Liu is really a god, although the barbarians in the southwest are resentful, but they still dare not act rashly, in this way, Dali is understandable to send troops, the weather is cold, and the barbarians have been on the defensive, but once this harsh winter is over, everything is difficult to say! ”

Liu Fa nodded, a little relieved, the current Southern Prison needs to recuperate, and it can no longer withstand any twists and turns.

"By the way, how is Miss Ye now?"

After talking for a long time, Mu Qingchen was just pouring bitter water for Liu Fa, and after talking for a long time, he realized that he was a little rude, and then he also changed the topic.

"Ruoxin is in the South Prison now, everything is fine, by the way, how is the Ye family?"

Liu Fa suddenly thought of a question, the Ye family is also one of the four surnames, and now that the matter in the southwest is so critical, I don't know what happened to the Ye family.

Although Ye Ruoxin is the Ye family who defected with him, the Ye family is the place where she was born and raised after all, and since she was beaten to the South Prison, Liu Fa has never heard Ye Ruoxin mention it.

"Uh, this, Brother Liu, alas......"

Mu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

"Brother Mu, how is the current situation of the Ye family, please tell me truthfully!"

Seeing Mu Qingchen's helpless expression, Liu Fa's heart was also sudden, and he had some ominous premonitions in his heart. , casually lowered his face and looked at Mu Qingchen seriously.

"Brother Liu, there are no eggs under the nest, among the four surnames in the southwest, the Ye family is the weakest one, in the summer, there is a flash flood in the West Sea, and the Ye family has suffered a lot of losses, and now the army is pressing, and the Ye family is almost like my Mu family!"

Mu Qingchen looked at Liu Fa, but he still didn't dare to say it, now that the Ye family has become a mess, not to mention, there are still many people in the Ye family who have surrendered to the barbarians.

Liu Fa glanced at Mu Qingchen, and also heard some questions, he nodded, and he didn't pierce it, but he was extremely upset, no matter what he said, he could be regarded as the son-in-law of the Ye family now, even if the Ye family had many disputes with him, if he didn't help the Ye family, he would always seem to have a cold temperament.

"Don't hide it from Brother Liu, I came to Chenguan to borrow soldiers, if the southwest continues to be so chaotic, it will not be good for anyone, the original peace has been broken, whether it is a barbarian or Dali in the future, if they are a single family, the four surnames and the southern prison will no longer exist!"

Seeing that Liu Fa was silent, Mu Qingchen also decided not to go around in circles, and said it straight to the point.

"Brother Mu's words, I don't dare to deny it, but the current South Prison really can't stand the toss, in the past half a year, the South Prison has suffered unprecedented losses, not afraid of Brother Mu's jokes, the foundation of the South Prison is not as good as the four surnames, take my dust pass as an example, now the soldiers are not good, the food is insufficient, even if you have the heart, you are also powerless!"

Liu Fa smiled bitterly, looked at Mu Qingchen, and also told the current situation.

As soon as these words came out, the two glanced at each other, their eyes were helpless and bitter, Liu Fa poured a glass of warm wine for himself and Mu Qingchen, and then they drank it silently, but after entering their mouths, they were as bitter as Coptis chinensis.

"Childe, where are the barbarians distributed now, and which one is closest to Chenguan?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Xin He also sighed secretly, he had an idea, and then took out a marching map from his waist, and then unfolded it again and put it in front of the case.

Mu Qingchen saw the marching map, stared for a long time, then put down the wine glass in his hand, and became serious again, he pointed to the marching map, and then looked at Liu Fa and the two, and pointed to a few places, and then said: "You see, now the barbarians have broken the three southwestern provinces, Yangfu, Xihai, and Pingnan, and the three important towns have fallen, but Brother Liu has broken the dust pass, although the barbarians do not say that they have cut off the back road, but they have all shrunk up and shrunk the battle line, and now the barbarians closest to the dust pass are roughly in this position, after Brother Liu broke the pass, The speed of the barbarians' northward advance has gradually slowed down, after all, the weather is cold, and the combat power of the barbarians is also very affected, if it weren't for Brother Liu, now there is no Han surname in the southwest! ”

Speaking of this, Mu Qingchen's face turned pale again, and then he made a big salute to Liu Fan, Liu Fan restrained tens of thousands of horses, although it was only to pacify the South Prison, but it really surprised the barbarians, and they didn't dare to be too arrogant.

"Brother Mu, you are, please get up quickly, I'm just for Pingnan Prison, it's not worth such a big gift from Brother Mu!"

Seeing Mu Qingchen giving such a big gift, Liu Fa immediately helped Mu Qingchen up.

"Although Brother Liu is to pacify the South Prison, he really let the barbarians carry him like a cold man, so he mobilized heavy troops around the South Prison to ease the pressure in the southwest!"

Speaking of this, Mu Qingchen shook his head again, raised his head and pointed to the marching map, and said in a deep voice: "It is also because of this that Dali sent troops strongly and inserted a foot in the southwest, although it was to avenge the prince, but it was also really high-sounding." ”

Mu Qingchen snorted coldly, quite disdainful.

"What's going on in the imperial court?"

Liu Fa looked at the marching map and asked coldly.

"Well, why did Brother Liu ask that?"

Mu Qingchen glanced at Liu Fa, his face was very strange, and then continued: "Where can the imperial court take care of the southwest now, besides, my four surnames have long been a big disaster for the imperial court, and the imperial court wishes that my four surnames will be wiped out as soon as possible!" ”

Speaking of this, Mu Qingchen also lowered his head, and his heart was extremely upset.

Liu Fa was stunned for a moment, and then said more suspiciously: "If the barbarians attack the southwest, it can only be regarded as a Tusi rebellion, and these barbarians are just stragglers, and they have been united by settlements, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is not a big deal, but this Dali is different, Dali is a country, can't Brother Mu see that this Dali's revenge is fake, and the temptation of the court is true!" ”

Liu Fa looked at Mu Qingchen meaningfully, with some sympathy in his eyes.

"What do you mean......"

Mu Qingchen is not a stupid person, he immediately understood what Liu Fa meant, if the imperial court still does not move at this time, Dali is very likely to sweep the southwest, and then try to the north.

At that time, don't say that it is the Cao family, that is, the four surnames will be uprooted.

"This matter is not trivial, Brother Mu wait!"

Liu Fa saw Mu Qingchen's expression, and while sympathizing in his heart, he immediately realized a serious problem, on the side of the couch, how could he allow others to snore!

Dali did not send troops to help the South Prison, but sent troops to the southwest in this joint eye, and attacked a small family strongly, if Liu Fa guessed correctly, after Dali pacified the southwest, he would naturally not let go of the South Prison.

The southern prison has just been calmed down, and an even greater crisis is just around the corner.

"Someone, quickly pass my letter to the South Prison and personally hand it over to Mr. Qin Shaofu, there must be no mistake!"

Liu Fa asked Mu Qingchen to rest in the side hall for a while, and he wrote a letter with a pen, and then sent a messenger in the army, personally handed it over to him, arranged it carefully, and then hurriedly walked to the side hall.

"Childe has lost a lot!"

Xin He also sighed when he saw his old friends, indeed, although it was half a year, the changes were too great, not only Mu Qingchen, but also Liu Fa, who had also become a lot more mature.

Since the war, the affairs of the clan have been handled by Mu En, but the affairs of the army have been pressed on his shoulders alone, how can he be relaxed.

"Alas, it's hard to say, by the way, is Mr. Xin also serving in the army now?"

Mu Qingchen smiled bitterly, he saw Xin He covered in armor, and he was also puzzled for a long time, just now Liu Fa was beside him, and he was not easy to ask, until this time he finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart.

"Hehe, don't hide it from my son, I do listen to General Liu's account and be a small supervisor!"

Xin He smiled and didn't deliberately show off.

"Hehe, you, you, to be a prisoner, it's too small?"

Mu Qingchen also smiled happily when he heard Xin He being so modest.

"Alas!"

Seeing the messenger solemnly put away the letter, then turned around and walked out of the mansion, Liu Fa also frowned, everything was developing in an unpredictable direction, he really felt a little powerless.

Although the wind and snow stopped, the weather became colder and colder, and the sky and the earth were all yellow, without a trace of vitality.

"Drive, drive......"

The messenger kept galloping south, and a mighty baggage force was also hurrying in the direction of the dust pass.

"General, ahead is Mangyuan City!"

In front of the long baggage troops, a large flag was erected, and two words were written on it, Nangong!

At this time, a patrol horse galloped over, walked to Nangong Zhi's side, and reported the situation nearby!

"Mangyuan City, Mangyuan City!"

Nangong nodded angrily, squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered that Mangyuan was An Shixian's territory!

I hope this old man didn't stop me, if so......

Nangong was really reluctant to continue thinking about it, since he was stationed in Chongcheng, his murderous intent has increased greatly, and when his eyes are closed, he always feels blood-red.

"Hurry up, brothers, when you get to Mangyuan, you can rest for a while!"

The straight official road leads directly to Mangyuan, but in the city of Mangyuan, it is extraordinarily quiet.

The bonfire was constantly lit, the city lord's mansion was warm, An Shixian was lying on the soft mat, drowsy, his body was getting worse and worse, for some reason, he always felt cold, in the warm pavilion, he didn't dare to place too much charcoal, and there was a woman on the couch who was as warm as jade to warm the bed and warm his body.

"Where has Nangong Suppressed Anger gone?"

Through the screen, An Shixian's tired voice slowly sounded.

"City Lord, Nangong is now only ten miles away from Mangyuan!"

A man at the door of the warm pavilion knelt on the ground in response, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Hmph, is it finally coming?"

An Shixian's eyes lit up, he sneered, patted the beauty beside him, and then sat up, he didn't look at the woman, just looked at the screen, and said lightly: "Quick, change my clothes!" ”

The woman agreed delicately, and immediately began to dress An Shixian.

On the plain city, colorful flags flutter......

"Humph......"

Nangong Zhi glanced at the defenders in the city, then waved his hand and did not speak.
