In August of the fourteenth year of Tongtai, the public training army was proficient, and Rong Yuan signed a contract to take Xiangyang, Rong Yuan encountered strong troops to obstruct each other, not allowed to enter, blocked in Jingling, Gong out of Yiyang, into Wan, Deng, broke Xiangyang, heard that Jiang Zhe, the marquis of Chu, guarded the valley city, and attacked it with an army. Zhe stroked the qin in the city, and retreated when he heard about it, sighing: "My teacher must not take it lightly, wait for a while." ”

When the Ling soldiers retreated, Rong Yuan was angry when he heard that the public had taken Xiangyang, and he even made two false accusations that the public supported the soldiers for self-respect. When the folk rumors began, the song said: "King Lu raised a new order, and thousands of camps shouted together." "There is still suspicion that the public has the intention of self-reliance.

The public did not know that Jiangnan was changing, and attacked Gucheng for ten days, and the general knew that Xiangyang was in danger, abandoned Gucheng and returned to the division, defeated the Yong army outside the city, and worried that Xiangyang had no help, so he asked for reinforcements in the court. When he heard about it, he suspected that the public secretly communicated with the Yong people, and urged the lord of the country to issue an edict to recall it, and the public resigned to the general, and the lord of the country was angry when he heard it, and even issued seven edicts to withdraw troops, and there were no reinforcements outside the public, and there was a lack of food and grass inside, so he had to return. Linfeng cried and said: "The great cause has not been accomplished, and the middle road has crossed to the south, and there is no hope of the Central Plains from now on." ”

Gongban teacher, Xiangyang's father and elder blocked the horse and said: "We will help the general to defend the city, and the Yongjun will not forgive Xiangyang with the military rule of law." ”

When the public heard the words and wept, they slowed down and waited for the people to move south. When the Yongjun heard the anger, they attacked hard and did not retreat, and the public guarded for seven days, burning Xiangyang and returning.

In September, the public division went to Anlu, and the envoy went to the army to urge the public to enter Beijing lightly, and the generals or persuaded him to rebel, and the public said: "How can you be loyal." "As soon as he was sick, the three armies wept.

- History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties; The Legend of Chungmu

Wei Ying knew that at this time, the Huaixi general Shi Guan was in Shouchun, but Lu Yun was in Zhongli to lead the flying cavalry battalion to fight with the Yong army, over the years, Lu Yun has been back and forth between Suzhou and Xiao County, avoiding the enemy's sharp edge, hitting the enemy's weak underbelly, and is already a very famous young general, especially in the first two years, Lu Yun and Shi Yujin often go into battle together, Zhan Zhi is on the left, and each other is on the right, stirring up the enemy army to turn over on their backs. Father and son are connected, or they can force Lu Can to rebel. There is no need to even erect an anti-flag, as long as he deliberately provokes a border provocation and starts a war with Dayong, together with the war, Shang Weijun will definitely not dare to kill Lu Can easily. Thinking of this, Wei Ying ignored the hard work and rushed to Zhongli overnight, he knew that once Lu Can was captured, the imperial envoy would also go to Huaixi, so he must hurry up and dare to be in front of the envoy.

On September 22, Wei Ying, who was covered in dust, rushed to Shouchun, and was not ready to enter the city, but rushed directly to Zhongli to see Lu Yun, but he saw a young general dressed in silver armor and wearing a blood-red coat at the city gate, leading more than ten personal guards, from the city gate, the young general was holding a silver gun, and the gun flashed, and the soldiers who were guarding the city fled one after another, allowing the young man and his party to rush out of the city gate.

Wei Ying avoided the side of the road, looked over, and saw that there seemed to be a person sitting in front of the young general, and he wrapped the person firmly with a big coat, so heroic and sassy, it made people feel heartbroken at first sight. But when Wei Ying saw it, he felt a chill in his heart, although the young general was wearing a military uniform, he also recognized it as Lu Yun's wife Shi Yujin. Shi Yujin is an unusual woman, she has been fighting side by side with Lu Yun in recent years, she is the deputy general of the flying cavalry battalion, brave and strong, better than men, when she goes into battle, every time she wears silver armor, and Lu Yun describes it as if the Yongjun knows the name of Lu Shi. She is not only a very prestigious young general in Southern Chu, but also the daughter of Shiguan, how could she fight out of Shouchun City. When Wei Ying was hesitating, those people had already passed by him like a lightning speed, and the big wind was blown by the wind, revealing the appearance of the person in front of Shi Yujin, who was actually a beautiful and delicate girl. And what shocked Wei Ying was that the girl was Lu Can's only daughter, Lu Mei. Shi Yujin was already pregnant in May, otherwise he would not have left Zhongli and returned to Shouchun to recuperate, but at this time, he rode his horse and galloped, could it be that the imperial envoy had already made a move against Huaixi, or that Shiguan had made some moves. Before Wei Ying could figure this out in his heart, he saw a sergeant wearing a forbidden army uniform pouring out of the city, and he was actually chasing Shi Yujin and his party with great force.

Wei Ying almost didn't fall off the horse, this forbidden army is too arrogant, he actually chased and killed Shiguan's daughter in Huaixi, Shiguan only needs to hint, someone will surround and annihilate them, at most throw the responsibility to Yongjun, doubts suddenly arise in his heart, could it be that Shiguan took refuge in Shang Weijun so quickly, so he wanted to harm Lu Mei, and Shi Yujin disobeyed his father's order and saved Mei'er. Then, Wei Ying saw a team of Huaixi Army cavalry also rushed out of the city gate, and his heart became more and more anxious, at this moment Wei Ying didn't want to go into the city to see Shiguan, if Shiguan really had thrown himself into Shang Weijun, then he was to rescue Shi Yujin, and it was useless, if not, then he didn't have to do much, it was better to rush to Zhongli immediately, so that Lu Yun was a little prepared in his heart. It's just that the shadow of failure has sprung up in Wei Ying's heart, can't the loyal and righteous Lu family get the mercy of the heavens, and let that insidious and cunning person go unpunished, isn't it true that he has no chance at all?

Shi Yujin's face under the helmet was already pale, she had not ridden a horse for several months, but she felt that she was much more rusty, not to mention that the faint feeling of discomfort made her always feel a little dizzy, but she still sat firmly on the horse, unwilling to show a trace of exhaustion. Hugging Mei'er tightly, her heart was full of anger, more than ten days ago, she learned that her father-in-law Lu Can was slandered and harmed, she felt uneasy, and urged her father to write a letter to defend her father-in-law, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. What shocked her even more was that last night her father's guards secretly came to tell him that Shang Weijun had sent a messenger, saying that the general had been captured and taken into Beijing, and that he was going to secretly capture the three Lu brothers and sisters in Huaixi back to Jianye, and her father had already agreed, but asked to keep himself.

Shi Yujin hated her father's righteousness, and did not delay, she immediately went to find Lu Mei, and only rushed out of Shouchun City with her own guards, she was bent on going to Zhongli to meet Lu Yun, and she didn't care about being unwell, let alone explaining the truth to Mei'er, she was just in a hurry, fortunately, the soldiers guarding the city didn't dare to fight her, so she easily rushed out of the city gate. Not long after leaving the city, she found that there was a forbidden army chasing behind her, and her heart was crossed, so Suo led her guards back to kill her.

Although those forbidden troops have also been trained in recent years, they are just newborn calves compared to the elite cavalry of the Huaixi army who have been fighting for many years, although they met them fearlessly, but they were easily defeated by Shi Yujin and his party, Shi Yujin took the lead, and a shot did not enter the chest of the forbidden army general headed by him, Shi Yujin was trying to pick up the corpse away, but he felt that his hand was soft, his strength was scattered, and the blood splashed over, and her silver armor was full of blood, but fortunately, Lu Mei had been protected by her with a big coat on her chest, so she was not stained with blood. Shi Yujin took a deep breath, pointed his silver spear at the few forbidden soldiers who were scattering and fled, and said in a loud voice: "Leave no one behind." ”

At this moment, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, but a middle-aged general rushed over with more than a hundred Huaixi sergeants. Those Huaixi sergeants extended their wings, like arms stretched, to protect the guards of the forbidden army who fled in their direction, and the general led by them said in a loud voice: "Major General, the general has an order, please return to Shouchun immediately with the Major General and Miss Lu." ”

Shi Yujin said angrily: "Chen Ming, you dare to come to me, have you forgotten who avenged your brother's murder in the first place, and you are worthy of Brother Yun and me." ”

The middle-aged general's face showed shame, but he said uneasily: "Major General, I dare not disobey the military order, the general ordered me to tell the major general, the world is big, where is there a place to escape, rather than lingering, it is better to fight in the name of loyalty, and the general will definitely be in the book to play, it may not be lifeless, and please understand the general's hardships, do not bear the name of disloyalty and injustice." ”

Shi Yujin was originally surnamed Ruhuo, raised the silver gun and pointed at Chen Ming and scolded: "I don't care what loyalty, if you talk about loyalty, who else can beat the general, but the will of the lord of the country, you can trap your father-in-law in prison, I won't let Brother Yun, the second brother and Mei'er go to Jianye to die, you go back and tell my father, this family was also promoted by him, and our Shi family was brought up by the Lu family, if he is ungrateful, help the minister to embarrass our husband and wife, I will die, and I will not recognize him as a father." ”

Chen Ming's eyes flashed with color when he heard this, and said: "Since the young general said this, then the last general can only offend, on the way, the general has a life, and he is not allowed to hurt the young general and Miss Mei." ”

Shi Yujin was furious when he heard this, he didn't expect Chen Ming to really dare to make a move, and was about to step forward with a gun, when several guards grabbed it and said in a loud voice: "The young general will go first, and we will break off." ”

Shi Yujin was stunned, if it was in the past, let alone let his subordinates break off, he would have been a step slower to charge, and he would regret it for a few days, but thinking of his current situation, and then thinking of Mei'er in his arms, it is better to go first than to fall here, not to mention that they are not enemies of each other, as long as they escape, those sergeants can abandon their weapons and surrender, and Chen Ming will not be embarrassed for them, thinking of this, she said sharply: "Chen Ming, if you kill them, sooner or later you will die under my gun." With that, he rode his horse and galloped away, and eight of the guards followed, half of whom automatically stayed behind to block the pursuers. But in a moment, the backs of Shi Yujin and the others had disappeared without a trace, and those guards fought to the death, Chen Ming was stopped for a moment, he couldn't catch up, sighed, and said: "The young general has left, you still don't give up your weapons and surrender, go back with me to see the general and ask for guilt." ”

Those guards are all Shiguan's old department, but they were selected by Shi Yujin to be the guards, if it weren't for the major general, they wouldn't fight with Chen Ming, they were all distracted when they heard the words, first two guards were shot down from their horses, and the other guards also smiled bitterly and dropped their blades, and let the sergeants under Chen Ming's command tie them up.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a forbidden army came up with a steel knife and slashed down, Chen Ming and others did not expect it, seeing a personal guard fall in a pool of blood, the forbidden army was restrained by the rest of the Huaixi sergeants, and the forbidden army still said unrelentingly: "These rebellious thieves should be killed one by one, and if Captain Chen protects them, it is also the same crime." ”

A fierce light flashed in Chen Ming's eyes, his mind turned around, he remembered the general's strict order, and finally said angrily: "They have violated military law, naturally the general will deal with it, but you don't need to worry about it, this is Huaixi, not Jianye." The forbidden army finally realized the anger in everyone's eyes, and thought that now he was only a few people, and if he was killed and killed, he couldn't even shout the word "wronged", so it was better to go back and see the envoy to add fuel and vinegar. Thinking of this, his arrogance immediately dropped, and his eyes showed even more fear. Chen Ming glanced at him coldly and said loudly: "Go back to the camp!" With that, he stepped forward and picked up the body of the slain guard, mounted his horse and galloped away. The rest of the Huaixi soldiers looked at each other, cut the ropes of the surrendered guards, and let them get on their horses and go back on their own, so as not to be brutalized by those forbidden troops again and turn around and leave. Those forbidden soldiers who survived were secretly angry in their hearts, but they didn't care about the corpses of their companions, but they just rode their horses and left with the Huaixi army, so as not to die unexplained after being left alone.

Shi Yujin rode out of the horse for a long time, only then did he remember to see Lu Mei's situation, and ordered everyone to stop their mounts, lift their masks, open the big gun, and inspect it, and saw that there were no scars on Lu Mei's body, so they were relieved, but there was a whimper in their ears, and they looked at it in surprise, but saw that Lu Mei's beautiful face was full of tears, and felt Shi Yujin's nervous gaze, she raised her head and mustered up the courage to ask, "Sister-in-law, what happened?" Why do they say that Daddy was imprisoned, and why did Uncle Shi arrest us? ”

Shi Yujin felt a pain in his heart, and said: "Mei'er, you don't have to worry, although my father is a little difficult, but I don't think there will be no room for turn, my father is wrong, and I look down on him, but I think he won't kill him all, let's go to find your eldest brother first, when the time comes, there will be a flying cavalry camp to protect us, and no one will dare to do anything to us." ”

Lu Meiming's eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a low voice: "I know that everyone is unwilling to tell me the truth, the Queen Mother wants me to enter the palace as a concubine, and I don't want to, but the second brother lied to me to Shouchun, but he didn't tell me the truth, and now the sister-in-law is the same, Mei'er is useless, she can't help everyone, and she has to drag down her sister-in-law." ”

Shi Yujin became more and more sour, and said in a low voice: "Silly girl, you are the pearl of the Lu family, if you still want you to go to the battlefield and fight in the court, what else do you want us to do, don't worry, I just fought for my life, and I will protect your safety, at most, I and your eldest brother will be shot out of Huaixi." ”

Lu Mei burst into tears when she heard this, leaning on Shi Yujin's chest and choking silently, the eight guards were also overshadowed, and one of them said hatefully: "The general is always faithful, how to rely on the prime minister this time, even the young general doesn't care about it." As soon as the words came out, she felt speechless, only to see Shi Yujin's face becoming more and more pale, and it was a mouthful of blood rushing out, Lu Mei couldn't help but exclaim, stretched out her hand to support Shi Yujin, everyone knew that Shi Yujin had always been competitive, but this time the rush to escape from Shouchun was not as hard as her father's doing, which made her hurt. The guard was ashamed and slapped himself in the face. Shi Yujin opened his eyes and said lightly: "It's none of your business, let's go to Zhongli first." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed in unison, but at this moment, a cold voice came: "Zhong is far away from the road, I'm afraid you can't go, let's let this seat send Major General Shi and Miss Lu to Huangquan Road." ”

Everyone heard the prestige, but saw on the left path, more than 100 zhang outside the style of a woman in Tsing Yi, it seems that the movement is very slow, but in an instant it has come to the front, not dusty, Tsing Yi fluttering, beautiful demeanor, although the eyebrows and corners of the eyes with some traces of time, but moving, no less than the twenty-eight girl, she is up and down, except for a Qingfeng sword on her back, there is no side, more and more simple and unpretentious.

Shi Yujin frowned, looking at the woman in green clothes, she had also learned Emei martial arts, not only the martial arts of battlefield fighting, at a glance could see that this woman's eyes were cold, and she was overpowered, she was a rare master, if she fought on the battlefield, she still had a few chances, if she fought in the rivers and lakes, she would definitely be defeated.

Gently patting Lu Mei, who was trembling slightly, Shi Yujin said loudly: "Who are you who dare to block the path of General Ben?" ”

A hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the woman in green clothes, and she said lightly: "This seat is not a phoenix, and the young general may not have heard of this name." ”

Shi Yujin was a little dazed in his heart, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard this name, but somehow, Shi Yujin felt that the woman's sarcastic look was not aimed at himself, but more like a kind of self-mockery. But at this moment, she didn't care about thinking about this, so she made a look, and a personal guard rode over and said in a low voice: "Offended." Then he stretched out his hands and hugged Lu Mei and put it on his horse. Although Lu Mei was a little uneasy, the guard was already thirty years old, like her elder, and her movements were cautious, and Lu Mei was worried about Shi Yujin in her heart, so she didn't show a strange look.

Shi Yujin sent Lu Mei aside, his heart was wide, and he pointed a gun at the woman in green clothes and said, "No matter who you are, if you want to take the surname of Major General Ben, you have to ask me if I agree to the silver spear." ”

The woman in green clothes, Feng Feifei, smiled coldly, Shi Yujin only felt a flower in front of him, the sword shadow in the sky had already arrived in front of him, Shi Yujin couldn't tell where the sword momentum came from, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and with a loud shout, the silver spear stabbed out flatly, straight into the center of the sword shadow, this shot was full of the spirit of the bloody battle on the battlefield, it was already a lose-lose move, a crisp sound, like a snow sword light came from a shock, but the sword light showed no signs of weakening, and it rushed over like a tide. Shi Yujin only felt that there were sword shadows in front of her, and even the figure of the woman in Tsing Yi couldn't be seen, she closed her eyes slightly, and didn't look at the dazzling sword light, so she relied on the spiritual understanding in her heart, just shook the silver spear away, and the shadow of the spear was like a pear blossom, scattered like snow. With the marksmanship of tens of millions of troops, he actually blocked the sword light, but Shi Yujin knew that he was just fighting for a draw by disregarding life and death, as well as the experience of bloody battles on the battlefield, if he continued to fight, at most thirty moves, he would be injured under the sword. Shi Yujin is a battlefield general, not a woman in the rivers and lakes, thinking of this, she can't care about any rules, and said loudly: "Let's go up together and kill this person." ”

All the guards were already in battle, and as soon as they heard Shi Yujin's order, except for the two guards who stayed behind to protect Lu Mei, the rest of the guards had already raised their guns and raised their guns, and the six of them formed a battle formation, echoing each other, and killed the woman in green clothes behind her. Although the woman's swordsmanship was skillful, under the siege of Shi Yujin and the six guards, she also fell into a situation where she was defending more than attacking, not to mention that the six of them also had horses to help.

Feng Feifei was a little annoyed, and sneered: "Although the daughter of Shiguan is young, she is a warrior on the battlefield, brave and good at fighting, and now it seems that she only relies on the strength of the crowd. The mouth kept coming, and the sword momentum became more and more powerful, and within the radius of Zhang Xu, there were sword waves and snow shadows, rolling like a tide.

Shi Yujin also ignored her, if she was thinking about anything on the battlefield, where was there any possibility of winning, a silver spear became more and more supernatural, flying and leaping in the sword waves, like a dragon playing in the water, one move and one style has been perfected, at this moment, she gradually forgot the dangerous situation, several years of bloody battles on the battlefield, the crisis of life and death, coupled with the state of mind of discouragement and indifference to life and death, actually made her miraculously enter the realm of the unity of the gun and the man, only to feel that the silver gun in her hand seemed to have her own life, automatically blocking the enemy's attack, stabbing at the enemy's vital point, The crisp sound of guns and swords clashing is endless, although Feng Feifei is strong in martial arts, but after all, the sword is not as good as the spear to attack far, I only feel that my internal organs have been shocked again and again, and I can't help but feel a chill in my heart, and I have the idea of getting out in my heart.

At this moment, Shi Yujin suddenly felt abdominal pain, she fought so hard, she was already angry, she couldn't help but let out a soft cry, the silver gun in her hand trembled, revealing a flaw. Feng Feifei is a first-class swordsman in the rivers and lakes, taking the opportunity to shout, the silver light in his hand bursts out, blood splashes, several miserable shouts, several guards have already covered their throats and fell under the horse, Feng Feifei actually took advantage of the rare opportunity to kill the six guards who assisted in the back together, the sword light converged, Feng Feifei had already withdrawn a few zhang, her face looked a little pale, this sword she also did her best, the consumption was great.

Shi Yujin just slowed down in her hand, and several guards who accompanied her in the bloody battle on the battlefield had already died on the spot, and she couldn't help but mourn in her heart, but the sharp pain in her abdomen came again, and she couldn't help but be horrified. Before the voice fell, he had already ridden his horse and rushed towards the wilderness, and the guard who was protecting Lu Mei immediately raised his whip and chased after him, while another guard who was originally holding a knife to protect Lu Mei rushed towards the woman in green clothes. The three of them had not yet gone far when they heard a scream behind them, and the only remaining guard looked back, only to see his brother's head flying, and his body being kicked off the horse by the woman in green clothes, who had fallen into the saddle and was about to ride a horse to chase after him. And on the horse in front, Shi Yujin was already lying on the horse's back, and seemed to have fallen into a coma, if it weren't for habit and intuition that made her hug the horse's neck tightly, I am afraid she would have fallen off the horse. The guard felt miserable in his heart, and Tie Qing's face showed a hideous color, and he said in a loud voice: "Miss Mei, you protect the young general." Then he left his saddle and fell to the ground, and stood in the middle of the road, meeting the flying horseman.

Lu Mei screamed bitterly, but although she is young and shallow, she is also the daughter of Jiangmen, knowing that life and death are at stake at this moment, the three lives of the two are in their own hands, fortunately, she also knows some riding skills, although she is not fine, but at this moment she forgets everything in her heart, gallops on her horse, and actually catches up with Shi Yujin, at this time, Shi Yujin has lost consciousness, her body is shaky, Lu Mei's heart is horizontal, she flies away, regardless of life and death, she actually jumped on the saddle behind Shi Yujin, and held the reins that had been loosened. Feeling a cold sweat, Lu Mei was secretly glad, originally when she followed her second brother to practice this move, nine times out of ten times she would fall off the horse, fortunately, there was a family general to guard, so she did not break her neck, and then she was forbidden by her mother to practice such a dangerous trick again, fortunately this time she was lucky. Calming down a little, she was afraid that the woman in green clothes would chase after her, and there was no horsewhip in her hand, so she was ruthless in her heart, pulled out the dagger from her waist and stabbed it at the horse's hips, and the white horse neighed and ran forward like madness. Lu Mei only felt that the wind was gusting in her ears, and she couldn't see the scenery on both sides clearly, so she could only hug Shi Yujin tightly, pull the reins of the horse tightly and let the horse run wild.

But I don't know that Feng Feifei behind him is gritting his teeth and scolding, where can he still chase him, the last blocking of the personal guard martial arts is not enough in her opinion, unexpectedly, the mouth of the whistle of different lengths, those war horses listened, they were all scattered and galloped, even the war horse under her was crazy, trying to throw her off. She lost her mind, and then took off the reins, but fortunately she was very light, and flew up, not injured by the startled horse, and seeing that the war horse that could be used to chase the enemy was lost, she could only stab the guard to death with a sword to vent her anger. Unexpectedly, the guard desperately hugged her right leg, although she was in her thirties, she was still unmarried, and she couldn't help but panic, and slashed a few swords before the guard cut off both hands and got out. Seeing the guard's round blood-red eyes, her heart swelled with anger, and she fiercely swung her sword to cut the guard's body into seventeen or eighteen pieces, before finally dissipating her anger. Looking into the distance, she didn't know where the two targets had fled, so she had to sigh lightly, and prepared to go to Zhongli to wait for the rabbit first. The body moved, but she felt a pain in her vest, and then the paralyzing feeling spread from her back to her whole body, she struggled to lift the sword, but as soon as her hand was released, the long sword fell to the ground, and then her body fell forward, and felt that her body was unconscious, she reluctantly shouted: "Who is it, sneak attack, not a hero." ”

A cold voice came from behind him: "The three girls of Fengyimen have now become assassins who hunt down and kill the families of loyal ministers and famous generals, isn't this a famous disciple, in my opinion, it is not as good as these loyal soldiers, I am one step late, it's a pity for these heroic men, Feng girl, under Jiuquan, I don't know if you have the face to see the respected teacher." ”

Feng Feifei could feel the passing of life, her eyes gradually darkened, and she hissed: "Who are you, I want to know who you are?" ”

The man behind him groaned in a loud voice: "Falling flowers and flowing water are two loves." Hate has no basis. It's hard to dream. Leaning all over the gan, it is still clear. The dew drops are pine, and the people are quiet, open the treasure seal, and recite the yellow court. (Note 1) Why do you need to know so many things when you are about to die, do you still want to entrust your dreams to your sisters and sisters? ”

Feng Feifei's mind flashed a vague image, the misery of the death of her parents when she was a girl, the glory of the scenery after worshipping the master, the hard work of practicing the sword to win the favor of the master, the scene of the sisters chatting and laughing, scene by scene, gradually, everything turned into a cloud of smoke, her body gradually stopped struggling, and her eyes lost their brilliance.

The man turned Feng Feifei's body over, his eyes fell on her blue-gray jade face, and sighed: "Although you only know that people are the same, but over the years, you can be regarded as clean and self-conscious, and you have not insulted your teacher too much, and now that you are dead, I don't want you to suffer more humiliation. With that, the man poured the medicine in the jade bottle in his hand on Feng Feifei's body, but in a moment, the pink beauty had turned into a puddle of clear water, seeped into the ground, and only some scattered things remained, the man was buried in loess, and then walked along the horseshoe prints, and after a short time had disappeared into the wilderness.

On September 23, in Zhongli City, Lu Yun, who had just returned from the Suzhou battlefield, and Wei Ying, who was waiting in Zhongli overnight, learned the news of Shi Yujin and Lu Mei's disappearance. After comforting Lu Yun a few words, Wei Ying opened his mouth to persuade Lu Yun to raise troops to save his father, but Lu Yun just shook his head and said nothing, and a light flashed in the eyes of Lu Feng, who was already in tears next to him, and said sharply: "Big brother, you just don't hate them for causing your sister-in-law and sister to disappear, don't you care about your father's surname?" ”

Lu Yun retracted his indifferent gaze and said: "I have already sworn to serve the country as loyal as my father, and I will die without regrets. ”

Lu Feng said angrily: "Is it possible that in the name of loyalty, can we ignore the life and death of our relatives, they want to kill everything, not only to kill my father, I am afraid they will kill you, and even kill my sister-in-law, kill Mei'er, even my mother and younger brother can't escape death, why should our Lu family die to the death, it is loyalty, bullshit!" ”

Lu Yun's face flashed with anger, and he waved a slap to knock Lu Feng to the ground, pointing at Lu Feng and scolding: "If you have this heart, you are not a descendant of my Lu family, have you forgotten the teachings of your father." ”

Lu Feng spit out the blood in his mouth, and said miserably: "Daddy always said that the children of the Lu family cannot be loyal even if they die, they will not hesitate to die for their family and country, and they will not hesitate to honor and disgrace for the people of Li." But I am not reconciled, and never will be. ”

Lu Yun said coldly: "Since you remember, how dare you make such wild words, if your father is willing to rebel, how can you tie yourself into Beijing, if your father is still like this, how can I rebel, if I raise troops to kill Jianye, I am afraid that I will just be the vanguard of the Yongjun army, and then the faint king will be able to kill my father justifiably, as a son of man, how can I be trapped in disloyalty and injustice." What's more, my father didn't rebel, he didn't want to see hundreds of millions of Li Shu in Jiangnan die in civil strife, I also think the same way, our family is all dead, if we can avoid the disaster of civil strife, we will also die a well-deserved death. ”

Lu Feng's eyes dripped blood and tears, and he hissed: "Could it be that the eldest brother doesn't care about the surnames of his mother, sister-in-law, Mei'er and younger brother?" ”

A trace of pain flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, and he said softly: "Second brother, my mother and younger brother are now building a business, if I raise an army, I must have killed them first, although Yujin and Mei'er are missing, but they haven't seen the bodies yet, maybe there is still a possibility of survival, my father and I died for the country, no regrets, but you can't stay here." Now you immediately change your name and surname, go away, and leave a cigarette for my Lu family, this is your credit. ”

Lu Feng cried when he heard this: "Big brother, no, you can go with me, instead of killing them, let's go together." ”

Lu Yun turned his back and said lightly: "The Lu family, except for my father, I am the only one in the army, if I escape, then the prime minister will inevitably be guilty of framing my father, not to mention that I am outside, the prime minister will never be at ease, and he will definitely not let go of his mother and younger brother, if I am in prison, they will relax their pursuit of Yujin, you and Mei'er." Don't worry, Daddy and I may not have a chance of surviving. ”

Lu Feng cried: "No, I also want to go to Jianye with my eldest brother, and we will die together." ”

Lu Yun said: "Confused, if you also die, who can Yujin and Mei'er, and even my mother and younger brother rely on in the future?" After saying this, the color softened slightly, and said: "There is one more thing, you have to remember, when I went to Yongdu to assassinate Shizu, who knew that I didn't even have a chance to do it, I lost face, but I also met a few friends, and now most of them have been on the battlefield, whether it is public or private, if you see them, they will definitely shelter you, that is, Shizu also said that if there is danger in the future, you can go to him." But how can I, a disciple of the Lu family, take refuge in the enemy country, so you must remember that even if you are in a desperate situation of life and death, you must not take refuge in Dayong, let alone be an enemy of Nanchu. ”

Lu Feng knew that his brother's words were like a mountain, and he was quite fatherly, so he didn't dare to disobey again, so he just nodded silently, and a drop of blood and tears fell in the dust.

Lu Yun didn't look back, there was a little more sadness in his tone, and he continued: "You go, if it weren't for the fact that the Huaixi Army hadn't been dispatched yet, I was afraid that the imperial envoy had already arrived in Zhongli, if so, if I could still see Yujin, tell her for me, and ask her not to blame her father-in-law, father-in-law's hard work, she will understand after all." ”

Lu Feng was sad and indignant in his heart, thinking that if Shi Guan hadn't taken refuge in Shang Weijun so quickly, he would not have let his family fall into such a situation, and was about to scold, but he heard the sound of water droplets falling to the ground, and saw his brother's shoulders trembling slightly, and he no longer wanted to make his brother sad, so he cried and ran out.

After a long time, Lu Yun turned around and said to Wei Ying, who was standing silently on the side: "Uncle Wei, I have disappointed you, and I have to ask you to bother more about Daddy's entrustment." ”

Wei Ying only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and said with sorrow: "The young general is worthy of being the elder of the Lu family, and the general has expected that even if Wei goes against his will, it will be useless." ”

Lu Yun said in a low voice: "Yun has high hopes for his uncle, if his uncle sees Humble Jing in the future, please tell him, my father-in-law is also a last resort, he just wants to force Humble Jing to fly away, Humble Jing's surname is strong, if my father-in-law does not do this, Humble Jing will never leave Huaixi for refuge." ”

Wei Ying sighed: "Ying has nothing to say, so I will go to Huaidong to see Yang join the army and transfer it to the general." Then he turned and walked away.

Leaving Zhongli, Wei Ying ran all the way to Guangling, where the Huaidong army camp was located, just entered the territory of Huaidong, Wei Ying learned a news, Yongdi Li Zhen was furious because of the Xiangyang war, Li Xian, the king of Qi, Li Jun, the prince Li Jun, and the chief general of Xiangyang, Sun Ji, were reprimanded, and the initiator Jiang Zhe was demoted and fined, Jiang Zhe, who was already the marquis of the country, became a marquis again, it is said that if it were not for the face of Princess Changle of Ningguo, I am afraid that the position of marquis will not be kept. Moreover, because of the unfavorable war, Li Zhen has ordered the Yongjun army to retreat from the defensive line, and even a major minister of Yongzhong proposed a truce and peace agreement. If this news was placed a few months ago, it would be absolutely good news, but now, it is the post of the soul-inducing Hades, Wei Ying heard the news, a mouthful of blood finally couldn't bear it, and spit in the dust, at this moment, he once again appreciated Jiang Zhe's ruthless and meticulous strategy, and he would never leave people the slightest chance.
