The night sky of the grassland, the bright starlight, and the slender crescent moon seem to make the whole deep earth dyed with a layer of faint silver. In the knee-deep weeds, the herds flickered, and some nocturnal animals finally crawled out of their burrows, happily searching for fresh food in the weeds. Oblivious to the danger of predators looming.

The camp of Xuanfu Town, which was stationed in the northeast of Xuanshi Slope, and the camp of the Xuanluo coalition army was noisy at the moment, and the smoke rose into the sky one after another, and the bright bonfire seemed to render the sky, revealing a sense of warmth.

From time to time, bands of cavalry, carrying their prey, let out cheerful laughter and roars, and galloped out of the camp, giving the impression of noise and peace rather than the slaughter of military tents.

And at this moment, Jiang Fu's mood was diametrically opposed to the noisy and cheerful military camp.

“…… Jiang Wu, you take people and send Zhao Gonggong and his party to the camp next to them to rest, remember the hospitality of good wine and food, don't wait for them. And don't let anyone else know about it. Do you understand? Jiang Fu, whose face was as gloomy as water, watched the eunuch and his attendants step out of his big tent, and whispered to the henchmen beside him.

Seeing the general take the order to leave, Jiang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still cloudy, and there was no joy at all, as if he had heard some worrying news.

Slowly walked back to the couch and sat down, drank the wine syrup on the case, stroked the long beard under his chin, Jiang Fu was silent for a long time. At this time, Jiang Fu's henchman Jiang Geng, who was standing in the tent, asked softly: "Master, you are not really ready to obey Your Majesty's will, are you?" ”

"What can I do if I don't comply?" Jiang Fu grinned, his face was stupid. "Your Majesty's secret decree has been sent to the hands of this official, and this official is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty after all, can he still resist the decree and disobey it?"

"But don't forget, sir, the emperor will soon lead a large army to arrive, and the court of the Tile Thorn Pseudo-Khan is already crumbling, if you are ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not a good deal, if this official obeys the will of the Son of Heaven, then when the time comes, I don't know what kind of changes will happen." Jiang Fu rubbed his eyebrows very embarrassed, his expression was very entangled. "It's a pity that the master didn't follow, otherwise, this official wouldn't have to worry so much."

--------------------, "Master, if not, let's ask General Xiao Yang." Jiang Geng pursed his lips, leaned forward, and lowered his voice very low.

"Ask him?" Jiang Fu groaned slightly. "He's just a little guerrilla general, this official ......" Jiang Fu's voice did not fall, but he heard a report from his own soldiers outside the big tent, Yang Xin visited, Jiang Fu couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart What can this guy do when he comes to look for himself in the middle of the night?

"Lord Commander, I heard that an envoy from the court has entered the camp, but I don't know if there is such a thing." Yang Xin entered the big tent, and after a hurried salute, he asked directly.

Jiang Fu, who was about to open his mouth to ask Yang Xin what he was looking for, couldn't help but froze, but he reacted immediately, it was right that he was the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town in the Ming Dynasty, but how could these soldiers be as loyal to themselves as they were to Zhu Qizhen?

Jiang Fu's mind turned sharply, his face was not revealing anything, he nodded and calmly pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned for Yang Xin to sit down. "Yes, there are indeed envoys from the court who have arrived in the camp, and this official has just received the order, and he is looking for someone to find General Yang to come to discuss, but I don't want you to come over first."

Yang Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, and after sitting down, he asked, "I don't know what happened to the envoys of the court entering the camp?" ”

Jiang Fu sighed bitterly: "What else can happen, isn't it because today I don't like the general army of Zhuzhen to obey the emperor's edict, ignore the safety of the border town of Daming, and lead the army to expedition to Wara......"

Listening to Na Jiang Fu telling the content of the will of those envoys, Yang Xin's eyes kept falling on Na Jiang Fu's face, and only after Na Jiang Fu finished speaking, did he speak in a deep voice: "I don't know if the chief soldier has a plan in his heart?" ”

"What can be done? It was because of his hesitation that the official was thinking that someone would come to you to discuss it, so that he could come up with a charter. Jiang Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Lord Commander, do you want to obey the will of the Son of Heaven?" Hearing Jiang Fu's answer, the expression on Yang Xin's face couldn't help but become gloomy. "Your Excellency, don't forget how much His Majesty believes in you."

When Jiang Fu heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said with a little displeasure: "What does General Yang mean by this?" ”

Yang Xin raised his head, looked at Jiang Fu, and said without humility or arrogance: "Don't forget, my lord, this elite of Xuanfu led by you, seven or eight out of ten, were recruited after the emperor entered the Xuanfu, do you think that if you want to go against the will of His Majesty the Emperor, will they agree and be willing to turn your back on the emperor with you?" ”

"Yang Xin, don't be too presumptuous." Jiang Fu couldn't help but change color, although he still tried his best to suppress his tone, but the thick anger couldn't be concealed.

"Presumptuous, hehe, Lord Commander, the last general is for your safety." Yang Xin was not afraid of the truth. "Don't forget, at the beginning, if it weren't for the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor, can you still stay in the position of the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town?"

Looking at Jiang Fu's gloomy face, Yang Xin still continued: "If you really betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, do you think that His Majesty's temper will ...... your fate."

Yang Xin didn't say any more, or rather, there was no need to say something too thoroughly, because he could see the fear in Jiang Fu's heart from Jiang Fu's face that was gradually turning white.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Fu opened his mouth again: "But now, the will of the Son of Heaven has been passed into the hands of this official, if this official does not obey it, the next time he comes, he will not be an envoy to announce the decree." His voice was hoarse and muffled, but the hand that was repeatedly clenched into a fist on the table exposed his heart.

Yang Xin's face was still not moved, and he said lightly: "The last general heard that the pseudo-Khan of Warat has sent envoys to my Ming Yanjing many times, hoping to present a letter of request for peace, but he has encountered unidentified bandits one after another, and now, the general army of the nine sides is all in the grassland, and the grassland is extremely chaotic, and no one knows whether these envoys have arrived in the grassland. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Fu couldn't help but gasp, staring at Yang Xin with his eyes, and said astringently for a long time: "...... This is a great sin of rebellion. ”

"The last general just heard about it, and I don't know who did it, the last general just wants to tell the chief soldier that if you want to betray His Majesty the Emperor, the end will definitely be worse than if you betrayed today, farewell!" Yang Xin took a deep breath, stood up, dropped such a sentence, and went straight to the outside of the tent.

-------------------- and at this time, Jiang Fu's personal soldiers, who were originally waiting inside and outside the big tent, had already surrounded him, and they all stared at Yang Xin with unkind expressions. Yang Xin didn't even pause, and ran straight into the two Jiang Fu's personal soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and walked away.

"Master, look ......" Jiang Geng turned his head and looked at Jiang Fu, whose face was hidden in the darkness.

"Let him go, Yang Xin, this kid, he never does things that he is not sure of, hehe, maybe, His Majesty the Emperor left him under the command of the old man, just to let this kid monitor the old man. Killing him will not help, not to mention, if the old man really betrayed the emperor......" Jiang Fu said this, paused, a few traces of indescribable fear flashed on his face, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief for a while, and then raised his head and whispered to Jiang Geng.

Jiang Geng gritted his teeth, nodded viciously, raised his head, motioned to several other pro-soldiers with his eyes, and then withdrew from the big tent one by one.

And Jiang Fu closed his eyes tiredly, and let out a soft sigh in the quiet tent, and in a military tent more than ten tents away from Jiang Fu's big tent, Yang Xin saw those Jiang Fu's personal soldiers carrying waist knives and walking towards the camp where the envoys who came to deliver the decree rested, Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and whispered to the people behind him: "It seems that Jiang Fu is really as His Majesty the Emperor said, and he is easy to be swayed by others. ”

"Fortunately, he was persuaded by you, otherwise, he would have to die, Your Majesty once said that the last thing he likes to see is this kind of betrayal without faith......" The voice of the person behind Yang Xin was a little hoarse and low, and when this person raised his head, the flash of fire reflected on his face, so that his face was clearly revealed, it was the head of the guard beside Zhu Qizhen: Qian Ning.
