The weather is fine in the ninth quarter.

Even in the middle of winter, the sun at noon is still quite powerful, radiating a soft light, shining on the body and face, warm.

Wu Mingzheng stood at the head of the city with a large group of soldiers from the Guards Battalion and said goodbye to Sun Yunlong. Jian Feiyang stood behind Sun Yunlong's side, his face was rare and serious, and he saluted and said, "My lord, take care." ”

There were about 40,000 soldiers in Guangyang City, and while the imperial court gave him the title of general of rampage, it also threw a hot potato to him. asked him to select 10,000 elite soldiers from them, train them, and put them under Wu Ming's command. After more than a year of defending the city, although these soldiers can be regarded as soldiers in a hundred battles, their low morale and long-term malnutrition will not be able to achieve it in a moment and a half if they want to truly restore their combat strength? Fortunately, the imperial court didn't give him a time limit, otherwise it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

But this time, when the class returned to the court, he, the new general of the imperial court, would definitely not be able to get out.

Standing at the top of the city and looking down, you can see that the whole team meanders endlessly, disappearing into the sky like a long dragon, and there are still countless soldiers pouring out of the doorway behind it.

Over the moat, a sturdy new bridge has been erected. The soldiers crossed the bridge and walked away. And the river that was dyed blood-colored some time ago has returned to a clear blue. The post road outside the city has also been renovated, and the destroyed pheasants have also been maintained, just looking at the current scenery, it is really hard to imagine that the city has just experienced more than a year of war.

Wu Ming stared at Jian Feiyang's serious face, and for no reason he was amused. He grabbed and said: "Brother Jian, I am not in Nanning during this time, but I have to listen to Sun Dudu's words, and I can't make mistakes, understand?" ”

The corners of Jian Feiyang's mouth twitched, and finally "poof", and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, my Lord Wu, you just wait for me to bring you 10,000 stick guys to give you an errand." ”

Seeing him like this, Wu Ming was relieved, and several people laughed for a while. At this time, Yang Yi behind him whispered: "My lord, I wish the general is here, let's go down." ”

Wu Ming let out an "oh" and looked up. I saw Zhu Yulong riding a tall horse under the escort of eight personal soldiers, and walked over from the city in military uniform, and all the soldiers on the city tower suddenly cheered. Wu Ming saluted Sun Yunlong and said, "Lord Sun, Brother Jian's conscription, I will trouble you to cooperate more." ”

Sun Yunlong twisted his beard and smiled: "Don't worry." After receiving an affirmative reply from the other party, Wu Ming saluted Sun Yunlong again. With a large group of soldiers of the Guards battalion, he went down the stairs. Zhu Yulong happened to walk to the city at this time, and when he saw Wu Ming coming down, he frowned and said, "These Southern Barbarians are really, since they want to negotiate peace, what are they doing in secret?" ”

As he spoke, he reined in his horse and looked behind him, his face very unhappy. At the back of the line, the peace negotiation team of the Southern Barbarians slowly drove out. In addition to the guards, the whole team was also a dozen four-horse carts, which were tightly covered. Wu Ming was surprised: "Brother Zhu, haven't you even met the person in charge of their peace talks this time?" ”

Zhu Yulong took a sip and said, "I must have seen it, but when I exchanged official documents yesterday, the "wise general" was exposed. Later, there was no news, and even the camp tent was far away from us at night, and it was a posture that no one should approach. If it weren't for my father's letter asking me to protect him well, I wouldn't have bothered to care about these southern barbarians. ”

Of course he didn't understand. If only yesterday Yululi had really succeeded in assassination. I'm afraid that early in the morning, Youlut has already broken off its shell and run away, and this so-called peace talk has naturally become an empty word. But he naturally won't tell his brother-in-law about last night's incident, isn't that uncomfortable.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a big mess in the rear. Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other. I saw a big man like a black tower rushing out of the Nanban team, shouting as he ran: "Lord Wu, I have finally found you, woo, now I can finally eat enough." ”

Wu Ming was stunned, and before he could react, Jian Feiyang on the city tower had already lost his voice and shouted: "Wang Zhili!?" ”

This voice was like a thunderbolt, and he woke him up too. On the way to the south, when the team passed through Yujiawan, the prince sent two people to guard the mountains on both sides, one of which was Chen Jianfei. And the other person is this Wang Zhili. After taking Guangyang, Wu Ming also asked Jian Feiyang in detail to understand the Yujiawan blockade, and when he learned that the mountain held by Wang Zhili was the first to be broken by the Southern Barbarians, he was also choked, only to say that this honest and straightforward black big man had already sacrificed himself, and he knew that he was running out alive now.

It's no wonder that Jane's Feiyang's voice has changed.

Wang Zhili ran too fast and fell to the ground. Wu Ming was startled, ran over in a few steps, grabbed the other party, and was about to help him up, but the other party's body sank, and it seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties. He was taken aback, his hands were already extremely familiar, the golden light flashed, and he launched it with great force, and a strong force of true qi reached his arms from the dantian, and he said "hey", and he had already held up the other party's body. I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I heard Wang Zhili shouting: "It's really Lord Wu, only your strength is greater than mine." ”

Wu Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. During the southern expedition, because he was dissatisfied with the decreasing number of steamed buns, Wang Zhili caught Huai Ying, the grain officer sent by Tao Ziqian to distribute grain to the Chinese army, and almost beat people to death. I'm afraid that the guards who will guard Yujiawan in the back will have to be replaced.

If he followed the army, Wang Zhili would probably not be able to escape death, but now he has escaped, and the fate of life is really difficult to say. With thoughts turning around in his heart, he was not slow at all, and he helped Wang Zhili up, and was about to comfort the other party with a few words. Youlute's gentle voice suddenly sounded: "Lord Wu, did you rest well last night?" ”

Wu Ming looked up and saw that the carriage procession of the Southern Barbarians had already moved to the front. Eurut poked her head out of a carriage and stared at him with a gentle smile. Thinking of what happened last night, the anger in Wu Ming's heart suddenly jumped up, and he said angrily: "Thanks to Lord Youlute's care, last night the kid could not sleep well." ”

Seeing Wu Ming's angry appearance, Youlute didn't think it was angry, and still smiled and groaned: "Lord Wu's anger is so great, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding between adults and me......"

He cleared his throat, probably trying to figure out how to explain. At this time, Zhu Yulong had already taken the horse, and was surrounded by his eight guards and walked over, and when he heard the words, he said: "Lord Youlute's shelf is so big, in this way, can there be sincerity in peace talks?" Not to mention Lord Wu, I'm afraid I'm a little 'misunderstood'. ”

Although he said it politely, the blame in his words was palpable to everyone. Eulut's slender brows furrowed, and the curtain flickered, and he had already come out of the carriage with a scent of incense.

After standing firmly, he saluted Zhu Yulong, and said calmly: "General Zhu seems to have a deep misunderstanding of me." After a pause, he glanced at Wang Zhili, who was chatting with Jian Feiyang, and continued: "For the sake of peace talks, my country has taken full sincerity this time, and that big black guy is just a little meaningful. ”

Seeing that Wu Ming and Zhu Yulong were a little dazed, he smiled slightly, slapped his hands twice slowly, and said, "Come on, please wish the third son." As soon as his words fell, two Nanban guards had already "escorted" a man from a carriage. Wu Ming looked at it and almost exclaimed, this person turned out to be his brother-in-law, and he was also Zhu Huai's child Zhu Yuhu.

On the eve of the Cangqian War, Zhu Yuhu took his spirit beast 'Heijin' to the small hill behind the Han army to reconnoiter the enemy. Later, the elephant soldiers of the Southern Barbarians broke through from the back road, and at that time, Wu Ming only saw a sharp roar of 'black gold', and rushed down in the torrential rain. Then the elephant soldiers of the Southern Barbarians rushed straight to the Eastern Han Dynasty from behind.

After the incident, Wu Ming also told Zhu Huai. I remember that at that time, Zhu Huai was very sad, and said that Zhu Yuhu "didn't know life and death", but there was a lot of sadness in his tone, obviously thinking that there was more luck and less luck. I didn't expect Zhu Yuhu to be fine. No wonder Youlu has no fear, I'm afraid that in his letter, he had already told Zhu Huai about Zhu Yuhu. With such sincerity, Zhu Huai didn't have the heart to go south, and now I'm afraid I'm even more relieved, I just look forward to the peace talks team arriving in Nanning as soon as possible, and it is good to meet his youngest son.

Zhu Yuhu was much taller than before, his cheeks were thin, and his face was pale. It seems that in the past year or so, he has not suffered less in Nanban. Seeing Wu Ming and Zhu Yulong, he didn't see any special feelings, but he stepped forward and saluted: "Big brother, Lord Wu." ”

Is this still the lively and showy Zhu Yuhu a year ago? Wu Ming was even more angry, pointed at Zhu Yuhu, turned his head and said angrily at Youlute: "People are tortured like this? Is this what you call sincerity? ”

Probably feeling that it was a loss, Youlute smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wu, this is really an accident...... he spread out his hands and was about to explain, Zhu Yulong next to him had already dismounted, grabbed Zhu Yuhu's shoulder and said, "Xiaohu, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't worry about it, get out of here!"

Zhu Yuhu grabbed Zhu Yulong's hands away and roared with all his might. Wu Ming was about to ask about the specific situation of Youlute, but he was also shocked at this time. looked at the two brothers dumbfounded, and was a little confused for a while. Zhu Yulong sighed, turned his head and said apologetically: "Two, it seems that my little brother is not in good spirits, I'll go and settle him first." As he spoke, he stared at Eurute and said, "Lord Eurute, is it okay?" ”

Catching Zhu Yuhu is not a little beneficial to the current Nanban, Youlute naturally has no opinion, and nodded when he heard this: "General Zhu please, since we escorted General Zhu Xiao back, it will naturally be handed over to you." ”

Zhu Yulong didn't have the energy to talk to him at this time, so he answered and let a few guards coerce Zhu Yuhu away. In the distance, I still heard Zhu Yuhu shouting and scolding. Wu Ming listened, but a layer of melancholy climbed on his face.

It seems that the relationship between his two brothers-in-law is not as good as he imagined.

Seeing that the two of them were far away, Youlut turned his head, sighed and said, "Lord Wu, since my sister came back last night, she has been silent and silent, don't forget what Jì promised us." ”

Wu Ming's heart was furious, and this person was also shameless. Let my sister use her body as a bait to stab, and now it's still the same as it is discussed. It's just that how did he know that he had promised Yululi last night, could it be that Youluli sued him? No way, he admitted that after Yululi came back, he didn't say a word, it was definitely not Yululi who said it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still don't know the point. Wu Ming looked at the sky, thinking of the conflict between the Zhu brothers just now, and he was not in the mood to talk to him, so he said to himself: "Lord Youlute, let's go quickly, if you don't leave, you won't be able to keep up with the big army." ”

Youlut sighed: "Lord Wu, in fact, the sister is really in love with you......"

Wu Ming had already turned around, and when he heard this, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly understood. Yes, since Youlute knew Yululi's affection for her, but still sent her sister to assassinate her, she naturally considered the possibility that Youluli couldn't do it. But he knows more about Youluli's loyalty to the Southern Barbarian Empire, even if he can't do anything to himself, he will definitely beg him to help promote the success of the peace talks, and with his nostalgic personality, he is naturally embarrassed to refuse. In this way, didn't his plan also accomplish? It's no wonder that Youlute firmly told himself not to forget what he promised to Youluli, presumably when he saw Yululi's appearance after he came back, he had already guessed what had happened.

Wu Ming turned his head and saw Youlute still standing in the sun, smiling gently and subtly, but he felt that the smile was extremely gloomy, and the sun was shining warmly, but he couldn't help but shiver.
