Pulling out a piece of Chengxintang paper inside, Duan Xiushi looked at it for a long time, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"Chenggong, should you understand what Renjie is going to do?" Feng Changqing smiled coldly and said.

Duan Xiushi put the Chengxintang paper full of words into the envelope, and handed it back to Feng Changqing, his hand trembled slightly.

Renjie wrote a personal letter to Du Huan and Cen Shen, asking them to contact Li Gongpo, the king of Xiangxiong, to guard against the attack of Gong Ren...... Although Gong Ren is the descendant of Tubo Da Lu Dongzan, he has been loyal to my Tang Dynasty for several generations, and now he is leading a large army to fight around the Qiang people on the Qiang Pond, and he is also responsible for it...... Doctor, Renjie seems to be really unwilling to let go of the power in his hands......"

Feng Changqing nodded lightly: "The surrendered city above Qiangtang is nailed there, and the army will have no worries when it enters the river, but Gong Ren is my Tang general, Ren Jie asked Du Huan Cen to participate in the two of them to guard against Gong Ren, and it is very clear what he wants to do." Everyone is a minister of the same court, under what circumstances will Gongren send troops to attack the surrendered city? Then there is only one possibility, one of the two sides must be going to rebel. ”

Duan Xiushi slowly straightened up, and said with a tense face: "If you want to rebel, it is Gong Ren...... Renjie would never write such a letter, with his temperament, he naturally immediately raised troops to Qiangtang and killed Gongren cleanly. ”

"So, things are already clear." Feng Changqing said with emotion, "Renjie...... Finally, I still don't want to let go of the power in my hands. The generals of the Qixi army were extremely convinced of Renjie, and they did not want Renjie to let go of the power in his hands. Renjie ordered Cen Shen and Du Huan to be surrendered in Qiangtang to defend the city and become Gongren. He didn't mean to rebel. It's about being self-reliant! ”

Duan Xiushi nodded: "A rebellion is a rebellion." Self-reliance is also rebellion, and with this heart, Renjie is a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone will be punished. ”

Feng Changqing nodded angrily: "There are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords for the people, and the west of the Han family is also the world of the Han family, how can it allow itself to stand up for a country?" If it is not only self-reliance, but it is to compete for the world. It is an unforgivable sin! If you forget your original intention, you will be called a thief! We must kill this thief to save the world! ”

Duan Xiushi's face tightened and he nodded vigorously.

At this point, there's nothing left to hesitate.

Renjie was already secretly preparing, but he didn't tell himself.

The Han and the thief do not stand on each other, no matter whether Renjie wants to stand on his own feet or fight for the world, he has already become the biggest threat to Datang. Such deceitful people must be removed as soon as possible.

Killing Renjie will inevitably cause a big change in the west of the city. However, at this time, he had no other choice.

Took a deep breath. Duan Xiushi stared at the clear stream in front of him.

Killing a Ma Renjie is only afraid that it will cut off thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Moxi River, but Datang can finally protect the land of the heart, defend the land of Hexi, and one day will be able to make a comeback, and if he does not kill Ma Renjie, I am afraid that it will be a situation of war and disaster immediately.

Where righteousness lies, there is no other choice. At the beginning of school, what I learned was the way of the sage, sacrificing my life for righteousness, and it was time for me to do so.

Turning his head to look at Feng Changqing, Duan Xiushi said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, can the doctor enter the city with me?" ”

Feng Changqing shook his head: "Since Renjie has already plotted rebellion, he must be jealous of the old man, a gentleman can be bullied, and it is easy to succeed in the name of a gentleman." If I enter the city with Chenggong, I am afraid that Renjie will even be afraid of Chenggong. Cheng Gong went by himself, and the old man waited for the good news of Cheng Gong. ”

Duan Xiushi nodded: "That's fine." - I'm not sure if it can be done, after all, it's just a matter of doing my best. If it really happens, I'm afraid I won't see the doctor, and if Renjie is ambushed, I will be cut into meat sauce immediately. ”

Feng Changqing laughed: "It's just sacrificing one's life for righteousness, and Chenggong is not afraid to come." Cheng Gong will be dead and lifeless, and Feng Er will be the mastermind of this matter, so naturally he will not live alone. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, we have also done our part for Datang, on Huangquan Road, Cheng Gong will not be alone, and Feng Er will definitely accompany you. ”

"Why does the doctor need to be like this, why don't you keep a useful body-"

Feng Changqing waved his hand: "This matter is Feng Er's plot, how can it be that Feng Er killed the thief and died, Feng Er was reluctant to steal his life, and Feng Er had a chance to stop Renjie from killing the king, and Feng Er's death was really a big crime, and he had no shame to continue to live." This matter was decided, and three days later, no matter whether the matter was successful or not, Feng Er was waiting for Cheng Gong on Huangquan Road. ”

"Take care!" Duan Xiushi nodded and strode out of the sparse forest.

Riding the horse and slowly galloping towards Tingzhou City, Duan Xiushi's heart was extremely uneasy.

He and the doctor also have great merits, but what they have to do now is to risk burying these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Renjie is dead, who can control these hundreds of thousands of arrogant soldiers in the west? The lord is dead, and Chang'an re-appoints the chief general of the west of the city, can these killers accept it?

These were huge problems, but at this time he had no other choice.

Now that Renjie has prepared in private, this is almost the last chance.

Since ancient times, how can everyone be equal, Renjie really thinks so, that is a vain maniac, and it is a great harm to the Han family. Even if you haven't rebelled, you haven't killed the king, and you should have dealt with it earlier, not to mention that there is such a big crime now.

What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? It is nothing more than the word loyalty. He and the doctor are studying, and those killers don't study, so only him and the doctor can do this, and no one else can.

A voice gradually sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, Tingzhou City was already in front of him.

He was not a person who was good at hiding his emotions, so at this time he reached out and rubbed his face vigorously to make his expression look calmer, and accelerated towards the city.

Back in the state office, Duan Xiushi sat in the room for a long time before his mind barely calmed down.

On this day, for the first time, he did not attend to official business, but just sat quietly in the inner room.

……

Is the night starlight dim, the city of Tingzhou is still brightly lit, the coffin of the Son of Heaven has been parked in Tingzhou for a long time, and the initial shock has passed. The market is slowly returning to its former state. This small city at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains is crowded with merchants because of the army marching north. It's a little more prosperous than in previous years. At this time, the inner city is full of people, and it seems to be extremely lively.

Duan Xiushi only brought two relatives, sitting on horseback and walking slowly in the inner city, looking at this lively city with some nostalgia.

The bitter cold land in the west of the moraine, but it is a place where he has lived for one or two decades, and since the weak crown has joined the army, so much time has passed.

For the sake of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the western athletes fought in the south and the north. The north resisted the Turks and the south pressed the Tibetans, and I don't know how many people shed blood, many of which he knew, and the faces of those athletes who fell in front of him became vivid for a while.

What he was going to do tonight would bring to this thousands of miles, he didn't know.

But in the end, there will be no good results, now Renjie is the Optimus Pillar in the west of the moraine, and what he has to do is to make this Optimus Pillar fall down.

However, there is no other choice. The Tang Dynasty has lost the land in the west, and it is still the brilliant Datang. There is a chance to make a comeback on another day. And if Renjie is not killed, then Datang is afraid that it will soon cease to exist.

I just hope that the consequences of this incident will not be so serious. I only hope that the thousands of miles in the west are still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty......

Duan Xiushi shook his head slightly, he may not be able to succeed this time, it is not easy to kill Renjie, he is just a scribe, but the other party is a fierce general who has killed countless people.

However, after all, you have to give it a try, and if you try it, you should die if you succeed or not.

"General, it's here." The person behind him reminded.

Duan Xiushi looked ahead, not far from a gorgeous mansion at the end of the alley, and there were two rows of Anxi men with protruding chests and bellies standing outside, all of them wearing heavy armor and murderous. This is Renjie's temporary marshal's mansion in Tingzhou, and it is also Renjie's daily living place.

"Let's all go back." Duan Xiushi turned his head and looked at the two relatives. Today is a mortal situation, and there is no need to let the two relatives be affected.

The two of them were a little unclear, but Duan Xiushi was in charge of military law, and he had always been extremely strict, so the two didn't say much, and immediately turned around and galloped towards the way they came.

Duan Xiushi took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to rub his face, put his hand into his sleeve and touched it, the spurs were gentle, and he rode towards the alley.

……

"It's time to come, it's going to come after all."

In the marshal's mansion, Ma Lu listened to the guard's report, closed his eyes slightly, and muttered.

"Let Junzi Duan come in, I'll wait for him in the main hall."

After the guards retreated, Ma Lan reached out and rubbed his face, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Feng Changqing's eyes were vicious, he was naturally on guard, Doctor Feng crossed the Baishui Stream, and his every move was under the ears and eyes of the Anxi spies. Originally, he thought that Feng Changqing might be able to find out something after he went to Tingzhou to worship the coffin of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't expect that he hadn't arrived in Tingzhou yet, and he had completely guessed the truth of the matter.

In terms of grasping people's hearts, Feng Changqing is definitely old and spicy to the extreme, and he can't compare. However, Feng Changqing and Duan Xiushi were both literati after all, so they did not find the Anxi secret agents hidden nearby.

The conversation between Feng Changqing and Duan Xiushi, which was reported by the Anxi agents, made Ma Lan startled. He understood that he underestimated Doctor Feng too much, Doctor Feng's subordinates had their own strength, and the viciousness of his vision could not be overstated.

Although a lot of things are speculation, they are not at all the truth. There are people but no king, this evaluation is even more amazing, as if he understands what he thinks in his heart.

And the reaction of Dr. Feng and Duan Xiushi was not unexpected by Ma Lan. These two people are real scholars, and they are extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the world is the world in Ma Lu's eyes, and the royal family is the world in their eyes.

There is no right or wrong in this, it is all a kind of persistence to the extreme, in the final analysis, it is determined by different growth environments, and no one can change it. Ma Luan, who came from later generations, naturally did not have much reverence for the monarchy, but the real scholars living in this era, Feng Changqing and Duan Xiushi, thought that the Son of Heaven was heaven.

It has nothing to do with right or wrong, but it is an irreconcilable contradiction. Doctor Feng and Duan Junzi are both people he respects very much, and they have also made great contributions in the past few years, but Ma Lan has long known that he will lose these two cadres after all. And this day came a little earlier than expected. (To be continued......)
