Wutai Mountain, ice and snow crystal.

Wang Jien walked out of the monastery with a haze on his face. Walk slowly up the stone steps of the mountain road.

He is a eunuch, but he is a eunuch with ideals and ambitions, and the fact that he is a eunuch cannot be erased by anyone, but the eunuch may not be able to be a real man, whether he is a man or not, not to be judged by the exercise of Kao bed. He has always dreamed of walking out of the palace, either from literature or martial arts, to do a vigorous career, and to be a strange man who stands up to the sky.

In a sense, he did it, a great emperor fell under his scheme, and without his help, Zhao Guangyi, who could not control the forbidden army in his hands, had absolutely no way to kill Zhao Kuangyin and ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. But this credit will never see the sun, and he has no way to show it off to anyone. Moreover, the eunuch killed the emperor, he was not the first, although this matter was earth-shattering, it was really not glorious.

However, because of this merit, he finally got his wish and left the palace. has become a big member, but there are too many local officials from ancient times to the present, other officials can be officials in peace and stability, seal their wives and sons, and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, and then like a wave in the turbulence, they no longer leave a trace in history, but that is not what he wants, he can't seal his wife and son, he just wants to leave a name in history, he is a eunuch with ideas and ambitions.

If Xiazhou City is successfully defeated, if Yang Hao, the emperor, is successfully captured, then his name Wang Jien will definitely be recorded in the annals of history forever, although he is missing those words, but he can be recorded in the annals of history forever and remembered by generations to come. However, Pan Mei withdrew from the army, not only did he withdraw from the army, but also caused a loss of soldiers, and finally asked him to accept it on behalf of others and fight back to his original form.

Although the official family did not punish him more severely, and after a reprimand, he was only removed from his post as a military supervisor and returned to Hebei Province as an observer, but he was still deeply disappointed in his heart. Because of the mutilation of the body. He is more eager for fame than ordinary people, he can be recorded in the annals of history, glorious fame, and his pursuit cannot be given to him by a peace official. But after this failure, does he have another chance?

Wang Jien stood in front of a cliff carving, and behind him, there was a huge cliff carving, on which were engraved three lines of big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing: "The Three Treasures of Heaven rì Moon Star, the Three Treasures of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind, and the Three Treasures of Man Jīng Qi God." ”

"Absolutely!"

Wang Jien remembered the great event of his conspiracy with the official family, and couldn't help but feel angry, with this little incense, the official family will definitely be in favor of him, this time he failed, there will be a chance in the future, when he entered the incense, didn't he also ask for a good luck? Patience, to do great things, you must be patient.

Wang Jien had a relaxed smile on his face and reinvigorated: "Come on." Home. ”

As soon as the words fell, the cliff carved up and down, and suddenly a few people appeared, looking at the ordinary pilgrims dressed up as ordinary pilgrims, old and young, poor and rich, but all of them had murderous faces, and quickly approached him, and they looked ill-intentioned.

Several of his guards had already drawn their steel swords to meet them, and they exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”

I saw that the few people with murderous faces raised their hands, and they didn't know what was going on, and several of his guards didn't know what they saw, but their bodies froze, and the steel knife in their hands was not pulled out. They didn't draw their swords, but those people did it, they bypassed the few guards who were standing there, and took two steps towards Wang Jien, and suddenly moved, some of them felt out of their arms, some of them pulled out their short swords from the bamboo cane, and some of them popped out of the soles of their boots.

The guards turned around with a shocked face, and they didn't watch out for the sudden attack of these people, and they were caught off guard, and before they even had time to draw their knives, they splashed blood on the spot, and as soon as the screams sounded, they were blood-stained on the stone steps, and lay down on the ground, some blood splashed on the snow on the side of the road. Bright as plum blossoms.

Wang Jien didn't expect that under broad daylight, before the Buddhist temple, there were actually people who were unfavorable to him, a court official, and couldn't help but be shocked and said: "Who are you, Lang Lang Qiankun, in broad daylight, you dare to commit murder, this official is ......"

Wang Jien knows some martial arts, but seeing these people's neat skills, murderous and murderous without blinking, he was so shocked that he had no strength at all, and he didn't dare to resist at all, because he was wearing a gentry rì often wore official clothes, he only said that these people were strong beams that cut the path, and his generous act of giving temple sesame oil money fell into their eyes, which made them move with bad intentions, so he was in a hurry to confess his identity to them. Even if they are robbers, unless they have a deep hatred, they will not dare to kill or injure court officials easily.

Unexpectedly, these people couldn't help but say, and an arrow leaped in front of him, and his two wrists were caught in the tiger's mouth like iron pincers, and he twisted and strangled backwards neatly. The two "clicks" sounded painfully, causing Wang Jien to look up to the sky and screaming miserably, shaking the snow on the trees. Without saying a word, these people actually choked his wrist.

Wang Jien only let out a miserable scream, and a cold iron hook poked into his mouth, the hook was hidden in a person's sleeve, the steel hook entrance, the sharp tip immediately hooked his tongue, the steel hook was pulled outward, Wang Jien couldn't even scream, and the bloody tongue was pulled out of the mouth. Then a cold light flashed in front of him, and there was a mutilated place on his body except for the bottom.

"Who are they? What the hell are you going to do? How could you use such a strange weapon? ”

This is not like a robber who kidnaps a ticket, nor does it look like an enemy, Wang Jien suddenly remembered that there seem to be some people in the world who specialize in using strange things as blades, but the severe pain and the strange atmosphere in front of him made him unable to remember the origin and identity of these people for a while.

The men choked off his hands, cut off his tongue, and immediately dragged him away, and the man who was over half a hundred years old in front of him, but who was not talkative, said in a stiff tone: "Xiaolin, take him back to Beijing immediately." Liangfu, you take someone and raid his mansion thoroughly. ”

Wang Jien finally knows who these people are, rì Benzhi! They are the people around the official family, the guards of the front of the palace, and the Khitan and Tuhun straight guards of the Sima army in front of the palace around the official family are all warriors who are responsible for the safety of the emperor when he is on patrol, and the only mission of the official family is to carry out some espionage and assassination tasks for the official family, and the official family ...... Why did you send them against me?

At the foot of Min Mountain, arrows and bamboos are grown.

A cat bear chewed the bamboo leaves slowly, suddenly, it seemed to hear something, quickly bent down, with its fat body can use the fastest speed to escape to the depths of the forest area, all the way to the bamboo forest, a golden monkey firmly grasped the branch, poked out from under the branches, ghostly looked, and then also fled quickly.

In the grass, two people walked slowly and stood by the bamboo forest. One of them looked very young, but his scarred armor and resolute and calm eyes made him look like a battle-hardened general. The other one was in his early thirties and didn't look amazing. Only a pair of eyes are very bright, revealing a bit of cunning and jīng Ming, and a jacket on his shoulder, which looks like a slick businessman.

The two stood opposite each other, and the young general said: "Chang'an stays behind, and now the king of Qi, please ask me to wave my army north and go to Guanzhong?" Hehe, isn't this a trap set by the imperial court, please enter the king? ”

The businessman-looking man smiled slightly: "It's to invite you into the urn, General Tong." ”

The young general rubbed his nose and said, "I don't read much, that's what it means, you understand." ”

The merchant smiled: "General Tong is really a cheerful person, Hu Xi'er likes to deal with a cheerful person like the general." I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, the reason I just said, as long as General Tong pays a little attention to the situation in Beijing, he should know that what I said is true. ”

"Oh?" Tong Yu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Even if I believe your words, my soldiers are all people from Shudi, and if they leave their hometowns, I'm afraid they may not be willing to leave." ”

Hu Xi'er smiled wryly and said, "If Zhao Dezhu is the general of Shuntian, it is true that he may not be able to make these people leave willingly, but ...... As far as I know, after the general sat on the top spot of the righteous army, the army and the people were separated, and military discipline was strictly enforced. ”

He looked upright, and said: "General, don't hide it, according to the news we received, the imperial court has begun to negotiate peace with the Xia State, once the peace negotiation has an eyebrow, the strength of the suppression of Bashu will inevitably increase greatly, at that time, the general will inevitably be struggling, if you take the lead now, before the imperial court is heavily encircled and suppressed, jump out of Bashu, crisscross the pass, with the current strength of the general's army, and then we secretly provide wealth and intelligence, so that the enemy aircraft are expected everywhere first, the general is not like a fish in water, a hundred battles are won?"

Besides, why did the general come when he lifted the pole? If the general protects the king of Qi, and the king of Qi sits in the world, you will have the merit of the dragon, the founder of the country, the high lord, and the descendants of Fuyin, are you willing to let go of such an opportunity? ”

Tong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "If there is really an encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, there is no way out, aren't you afraid that I will tell your secrets to the imperial court and seek a half-official position?" ”

Hu Xi'er smiled slyly: "You won't, if you get involved in the secrets of the palace and the royal scandal, there will be no good end." Besides, even if you say it, we won't admit it, do you have any evidence? As for the suspicion of the official family, it doesn't matter, King Qi's current situation is dangerous enough, how bad can it be? If it weren't for the sinister situation, we wouldn't have found you, General Tong. The general said, "Is that right?" ”

"How, then, can I trust your sincerity?"

Hu Xi'er said: "It's very simple, I can provide the general with the necessary food, ordnance, winter clothes, and medicinal materials now, when the general goes north, the military deployment of the cities along the way, the generals who defend the generals, the armament and ordnance, the mobilization of soldiers and horses, and all aspects of the information, I will also provide you with information in a timely manner, the general will not be whimsical, thinking that the imperial court will use this method of financing the enemy to suppress the bandits, right?" ”

Tong Yu lowered his head, slowly paced in the grass, reorganized the army, built on the deep mountains, this is all Yang Haomi instructed him to do, Yang Hao's plan is Hexi peace talks, in this process Bashu will play an important role, once the peace talks are successful, the pressure that Bashu will bear will be multiplied, in view of this, Yang Hao told him in advance to make the necessary preparations, and has already told him that it may usher in a very heavy blow at that time, the situation will be very difficult, maybe the righteous army will all withdraw into the mountains for guerrilla warfare.

If there is a better way out for ......, should we still stick to the original plan?

Hu Xi'er was not in a hurry, she stood there and watched for a long time, Tong Yu thought for a long time, and slowly raised her head: "Mr. Hu, I still need to discuss this matter with a few henchmen before I can decide whether it is ...... or not."

Hu Xi'er said happily: "Yes, but ...... Even if he is a confidant of the general, he thinks that there are some things that do not need to be explained to them. ”

Tong Yu smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, the safety of King Qi is very important to you, and it is also very important to me, I will not tell them the identity of King Qi." ”

Hu Xi'er smiled: "This is very good, then I will wait for the general's good news." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The peace between the imperial court and Xia Guo is about to succeed, and immediately, the soldiers and horses sent to Xichuan will increase significantly, and your situation will be even more difficult at that time. At present, the imperial court is still limited in encirclement and suppression of you, scattered everywhere, and it is difficult to form an encirclement, so under our response, you must arrive at Guanzhong safely, and establish some dangerous fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack in the reckless Qinling Mountains, it is still very easy to do. Generals, don't lose your time. ”

Tong Yu bowed his head lightly and said, "Mr. Hu, don't worry, I will ...... as soon as possible Make a decision, and then tell your Excellency the result! ”

Fengtai Mountain, saber rattling.

The Fengtai Mountain camp has now returned to the hands of Xia Guo again, and the snowy places on the slopes of the mountains have turned into solid ice under the repeated rushing and trampling of soldiers on both sides, Yang Yanxun was inspired by this, and simply boiled snow water and poured it on the hillside, making the entire northern slope shiny like a crystal palace, and no one could stand on it.

However, the Liao army camp under the mountain is still safe, except for scolding and provoking these days, they have not attacked them again, this is not that the Liao soldiers are afraid of him Yang Sanlang, the main reason is because the Liao envoys are negotiating with the emperor of Xia when they arrive in Xiazhou.

Early this morning, the soldiers in the watchtower on the top of the mountain suddenly found that at least two thousand cavalry soldiers rushed to the Liao army camp opposite, he immediately reported the news to Yang Yanxun, Yang Yanxun was a little nervous when he heard the news, at this time the Liao State suddenly increased its troops, there will always be some reason, he immediately ordered the whole army to be ready for battle, but there has been no movement on the opposite side, except for the two thousand knights arrived in the Liao military camp after a moment of chaos, now everything is silent as usual.

Yang Yanxun didn't dare to be careless, he came to the outpost in person, and was carefully observing the movement on the opposite side, someone came to whisper a few words to him, Yang Yanxun hurriedly rushed back, and when he arrived at his handsome tent, he saw the saint Yang Hao sitting on the top, his father sitting on the left, and the first person on the right.

Yang Yanxun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, secretly surprised: "Why is the saint here?" There's no reason to send a foreign envoy so far......"
