"Feng'er, did that man really say that?" Lin Qin was very worried.

Meng Gufeng thought about it again and again, and despite his brother's strong opposition, he told his mother about the bazaar.

"Mother, yes, I see that this person is extraordinary in appearance and profound, unlike ordinary people, so I don't think he can ignore his brother's prophecy." Dream Gufeng said his opinion.

"What extraordinary, I think it's a charlatan." Meng Gufeng was very dissatisfied when he saw that his brother had to tell his mother, and muttered quietly on the side.

Lin Qin glanced at Meng Guyun and ignored him, thinking that although the eldest son is not very old and not deep in life, he has always been sensible, and he has been carefully taught since he was a child, and he is very accurate if he doesn't say anything, but he will not be bad in general, according to the description of the eldest son, this person is indeed not a layman, as for who it is, she can't figure it out for a while, not to mention that she may not know it. She thought it would be best if she could see this person again, and she could ask him face to face. At this time, it was getting late, she found the housekeeper, and asked Meng Gufeng to tell the two people she met in the bazaar and Steward Zhang in detail, and asked the housekeeper to call the housekeeper to look for these two people, and specially instructed that if she found it, she must be polite and inform herself in time, she didn't want to talk about it in the house at this time, so why did she find these two people, and she didn't tell the housekeeper clearly.

"Yun'er, you just stay in the house obediently for half a month, don't go out."

"How can this work, in ten days, my father and eldest brother will go on the expedition, mother, you promised to go with me to see them off." Meng Guyun saw that Lin Qin had instructed the housekeeper to find someone, and now he really grounded himself for half a month, so naturally he couldn't send his father and eldest brother.

Lin Qin and Meng Gufeng were both moved when they heard this, thinking that this kid was so anxious about this matter, not for his own fun, but to see off his father and eldest brother.

"Yun'er, eldest brother and daddy go on the expedition, you don't have to worry, in fact, the eldest brother is most at ease is you, you obediently listen to your mother's words at home, don't go out of the house for half a month, the eldest brother can feel more at ease when he is outside." Meng Gufeng stroked his younger brother's forehead and said softly.

"Yes, Yun'er, your eldest brother is about to go on the expedition, and you don't want your eldest brother to worry about you every day." Lin Qin also persuaded on the side.

Meng Guyun knew that it would be difficult for him to change his mother and eldest brother's decision now, and while cursing the white-shirted man he met at the bazaar, he thought about how to make his mother and eldest brother let go of their worries and let them go to see them off.

Mengjing returned home a long time later than usual today, and didn't come back until dinner time. After dinner, Lin Qin told her husband about today's market in detail, and the white-shirted man's prediction of Meng Guyun's fierce appearance was hidden in the middle, and he didn't want her husband to worry too much, but she just said that they met a strange person to see if her husband knew her.

"Hehe, Yun'er has always been smart, if you can spend more time on reading and practicing martial arts, your achievements will definitely be limitless." After listening to the interesting stories of the bazaar, Mengjing couldn't help but wonder, "But I don't have an impression of the white-shirted man that Feng'er said, maybe as he said, he is a ranger student who likes to travel around the world." ”

Lin Qin couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw that her husband really didn't know her.

"By the way, ma'am, the situation on my side has changed, and the army will leave in five days." Mengjing said apologetically.

"Didn't you leave in ten days, why so fast?" Lin Qin was stunned.

"Today, the queen of the next dynasty left me to discuss with Minister Wei for a long time, and it has been determined that the mastermind of the last Three Kingdoms alliance to crusade against my Daheng was Daewoo, and the key figure among them is a young general named Zhang Mu."

"Didn't Zhao Guo provoke this war as the mastermind, how did Daewoo become the mastermind?" Lin Qin was puzzled.

"Madame didn't know that the battle in the east was indeed provoked by Zhao State, and she had sent an envoy to ask Daewoo to join forces to attack Daheng, and promised to divide the benefits equally; But the organs were exhausted, and it was not Zhao Guo who contributed to the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but Daewoo. Zhao Guo's original intention, but worried that Daewoo would take advantage of Zhao Guo when he used troops against our country, so he sent a messenger to listen to Yuwang's attitude, and he didn't have hope for the alliance to attack me, but he didn't expect this temptation to reap miraculous results, Daewoo was very interested in this matter, and he overrode public opinion, not only agreed to the coalition army, but also went to Xihua in person, persuading King Hua Murong Guang to put aside a hundred years of grievances, and agreed to join forces with Daewoo Zhao to besiege our country, fortunately, Xihua was afraid of our national strength, and asked Zhao Guo as a vanguard, We must first contain our army, otherwise we do not want to clash head-on with Daheng. ”

"The person in the Daewoo court who is the one named Zhang Mu?" Lin Qin's brows furrowed when he heard this.

"Yes, it is this person who not only promoted the coalition army, but also led the three armies, and all the troop transfers and pre-war deployments were completed by this person." Meng Jing admired, "I heard that this person is from a noble background, he is only thirty years old, he has already worshiped the Vermilion Bird General of the Wei Rank Tianhui, and he used to be the young friend of Yuwang Li Da, and his scheming city government is immeasurable, and he has a high status in the Daewoo court." ”

"Master, according to what you say, this matter is not over yet?" Lin Qin was worried.

"Yes, this time the Three Kingdoms Alliance failed to succeed, this Zhang Mu must be unwilling, and Daewoo has never participated in the struggle of various countries for a hundred years, this time it is so deliberate, there will be a new situation in the troubled times."

"Isn't it very risky for Feng'er to go out with you this time, my lord, you led the army to repair the border this time, and the main force did not accompany you, not to mention Daewoo and the Xihua coalition army, just Daewoo, if you attack with all your strength, it will be very dangerous." Lin Qin was even more worried.

"Madame, don't worry, even if it's not the main force, how can the troops brought out by my Mengjing be easy soldiers?" Mengjing said proudly, "And this time, we will fight quickly, quickly dispatch troops, redeploy the internal and external forces of Xiyu Pass, and recast the defense line. ”

"So madam, there will be no problems, and I will definitely not let Feng'er have trouble!" Mengjing was afraid that Lin Qin would change his mind, so he held Lin Qin's hand and assured.

Lin Qin knew her husband's thoughts, so she didn't mention this matter anymore, but she still advised: "Zhang Mu and Xihua's coalition army has been stationed outside Xiyu Pass for several months, and they must have already figured out the truth of our side, and the master must not be careless. ”

"This nature, this Zhang Mu is definitely a thoughtful person, haha, I really want to meet him for a while." Mengjing's heart was full of pride, and his mind had already flown to the southwest border.

Three days later in the morning.

"Mother, the eyes of the stone lion outside the house are red, red!"

It turned out that since he came back from the market that day, the first thing Meng Gufeng did when he got up every morning was to run outside the house to observe the eyes of the stone lions, in order to feel at ease, he just got up early this morning, and came out to check as usual, only to see the two stone lions' eyes red as fire, how not to make him anxious.

Lin Qin originally wanted to blame his son for shouting so loudly and unorthodoxically, but when he heard that the eyes of the stone lion outside the mansion were red, he was also shocked, and he couldn't even take care of his coat, so he hurriedly went out of the house with his son to check, and the tired personal maid took on his coat and followed closely behind him.

When I went out of the house, as Meng Gufeng said, the two stone lions had red eyes, and the corners of their eyes were shining red, almost dripping down. Lin Qin asked the housekeeper to inquire about the news of the man in white shirt for several days, but found nothing, thinking that although no official sea fishing documents were issued to find this person, but with the means of finding people in Tianmengfu, even if this person left Heng'an, he would definitely be able to find some clues, but now there was no news, obviously the man in white shirt was very means, deliberately hid his whereabouts, and must not be an ordinary person, so he was even more worried about the safety of Meng Guyun, and his heart was upset. At this time, seeing Shi Shi's blood-red eyes, how can I not be in a hurry.

"You say, how can the stone lion outside the mansion have red eyes?" Although Lin Qin was anxious, his mind was still clear, and he immediately asked the soldiers standing guard outside the house.

"This—" The two soldiers standing guard looked at each other with embarrassed expressions, not knowing how to answer.

"Come on, it's so ridiculous outside the gate of Tianmeng Mansion, it must be caused by your dereliction of duty, and you haven't recruited it from the truth!" Seeing that the two of them looked different, Lin Qin must know the reason and shouted loudly.

"Tell Madame, the stone lion's eyes are caused by the old man's upward court, and the son's brush dipped in vermilion lacquer, the villain does not dare to stop the son, and asks the lady to forgive the sin." Seeing that Lin Qin was angry, the soldiers did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported it truthfully.

"Yun'er?!" Lin Qin and Meng Gufeng were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then said in unison.

"It's the little boy." The soldier added.

Lin Qin was even more angry after hearing this, and ordered his subordinates to clean Shishi's eyes, and at the same time asked the family to bring Meng Guyun to come over to see her immediately.

After a while, Meng Guyun took the wooden gun that Meng Gufeng gave him, hummed a small tune, and followed the family to Lin Qin and Meng Gufeng.

"Yun'er, you are so foolish, the stone lion at the gate of the mansion is a symbol of majesty, how can you alter it at will? Don't admit your mistake to your mother soon. Meng Gufeng knew that Lin Qin was taken aback by his younger brother's move, he was really angry, he didn't want his younger brother to suffer more, so he reminded his mother loudly before he spoke, hoping that his younger brother would admit his mistake quickly and don't add fuel to the fire.

"Hehe, big brother, how are the stone lion's eyes now?" Meng Guyun didn't seem to be aware of the danger at all, and didn't answer the rhetorical question, still looking like he was giggling.

"Shishi's eyes have naturally been cleaned at this moment, Yun'er, kneel down and admit your mistake to your mother." Seeing that Lin Qin's face was getting more and more ugly, Meng Gufeng reminded his younger brother again.

"So, mother, big brother, the prophecy of the white-shirted strange man who talked nonsense to me at the market that day can be regarded as unraveled?" At this time, Meng Guyun had already stood up, no longer swaying from side to side, and asked Lin Qin and Meng Gufeng seriously.

Lin Qin and Meng Gufeng suddenly realized, it turned out that Meng Guyun had this plan, so he painted the red stone lion's eyes, thinking that although this kid was naughty and did ridiculous things, it was not unreasonable, the stone lion's eyes were red no matter what the reason was, it was indeed red, and at this moment it had been rinsed with water by the family, and it naturally returned to its previous appearance.

"Now that the prophecy has been solved, mother, then Yun'er naturally doesn't need to be grounded in the mansion anymore, and Yun'er can go with you to send her father and eldest brother on the expedition the day after tomorrow!" Seeing that his mother and eldest brother did not speak, Meng Guyun continued.

"Who said it was unraveled? Even if Shi Shi's red-eyed prophecy is broken, you still can't leave the mansion before half a month has arrived. Lin Qin was relieved when she heard Meng Guyun finish speaking, and most of her anger disappeared, but this son was so stubborn, and she was really worried that the prophecy would come true, so she was still reluctant to let go.

"Mother, since the prophecy has been solved, why do you stick to the half-moon period? Please, let Yun'er go with you to see off Daddy and Big Brother. Seeing that her mother refused to let go, Meng Guyun continued to plead.

Meng Gufeng saw that his younger brother had come up with such a way to send him on the expedition, and he was embarrassed, not only wanting his younger brother to send him on the expedition, but also worried about his younger brother, and he was also confused for a while, and he didn't know how to decide, so he stood aside and was silent.

"Okay, what you did is ridiculous, my mother hasn't punished you yet, you're still messing around here," Lin Qin didn't want to continue to entangle with his youngest son, pretending to be angry, but seeing Meng Guyun's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it, and said helplessly: "Okay Yun'er, you go down first, and wait for your mother to think about it before replying to you." ”

Seeing his mother's demeanor, Meng Guyun knew that there would be no result if he continued to entangle now, and he might not even think about it if he angered his mother, so he took his small wooden gun and hurriedly saluted and retired.

"The general is about to go on an expedition, do you still have any worries in your heart?" Hengwang Dugu Ling received Mengjing's letter, and the courtiers left Mengjing and Wei Zilian to discuss together.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have a matter that I have thought about for a long time, and I feel that it really shouldn't be delayed any longer, so I wrote to the king and asked to discuss this matter." Mengjing arched his hand.

"General, please speak up."

"The minister has been thinking for a long time, this time the minister led the troops to recast the southwest border, and the army moved, which is equivalent to directly admitting that the matter of the Three Kingdoms Alliance I Daheng already knows, so Daewoo and Xihua may move, especially Daewoo, this time it proves that Daewoo has decided to chase the Central Plains, and will no longer stay out of this troubled world, and Daewoo border is almost all adjacent to the south of my Daheng, if you use troops, my Daheng will inevitably bear the brunt, even if you don't attack our army this time, there will inevitably be a series of battles between Daheng and Daewoo, and I Daheng has Xihua in the west, It is bordered by Zhao in the east, Daewoo in the south, and Beiliang and Guyou in the north. Previously, Xihua and our country have always been friendly, Daewoo stayed out of the matter, Beiliang and Gu You bowed down to us, we just concentrated on Zhao State, so there has been no major war in a hundred years, and no one can really threaten Daheng, so our country's military strength is still at ease; And now once the war situation is clear, all countries will inevitably have evil intentions and wait for the opportunity to move, so I Daheng must strengthen the national strength, and the first thing to do is to increase the army, so the minister suggested that the king send someone to secretly train a new army that will conquer and win the battle, to deal with the next turbulent and changeable situation. Mengjing said what he had been thinking and worrying about for days.

"What do you think of the general's words?" King Heng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and asked Wei Zilian.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the general's words are feasible, as the general said, this time the general recast the southwest border, the relationship between our four countries will inevitably become clear, and what kind of actions will be made between the countries next is unknown, we can't help but be fully prepared, but..." Wei Zilian agreed with Mengjing's proposal, but at the same time he was worried.

"It's just that, the prime minister, please make it clear." Mengjing arched his hand.

"There are still two difficulties in this matter, one is the selection of the commander of the training of the new army, the general is about to go on the expedition, and the training of the new army is not a meeting for a while, the general is busy with state affairs, and he cannot be the commander; Second, the training of the new army has cost a huge amount of money, and I am worried that Daheng's financial resources will be tight. ”

"Raising one person under the guarantee can be a heavy responsibility." Mengjing had obviously thought about this a long time ago, and replied loudly.

"Oh, the general has a candidate, so come quickly." King Heng was actually worried about the choice of coach, and when he heard what Mengjing said, he was overjoyed.

"I think that Xu Tianyu, the general of Qinglong, can take on this important responsibility, and he is the best candidate for the commander of the new army."

Xu Tianyu is about thirty-five years old, the official worship of the Weijie Tianping Qinglong General, is also a young general, this person is a martial arts idiot, martial arts may still be above Mengjing, good at using a big knife, weighing forty-eight pounds, since his debut, he has not met an opponent, this person governs the army strictly, almost harsh, but it can especially boost the morale of the troops, and he is indeed the best candidate for training the new army.

"The general's eyes are like a torch, and he has no opinion below." Wei Zilian also seems to be very satisfied with Xu Tianyu's appointment as the coach of the new army.

"In this case, the general can rest assured that he will go to the southwest border and train the new army, and Prime Minister Gu and Prime Minister will make proper arrangements." Mengjing's invitation was actually what King Heng was worried about recently, and once this matter was agreed, he was also a lot more at ease in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what about the money and wealth needed to train the army?" Mengjing said worriedly.

"Haha, this matter is not to worry about the general, there is a lonely king in charge, and there is also the prime minister's strategy, naturally there will be a way, right, Minister Wei!"

"The king is serious, and the ministers and guards dare to disobey the work of dogs and horses."

The day of the departure of the army.

Mengjing and Menggufeng were fully armed and majestic, and Lin Qin was also dressed in plain clothes, riding a horse with Mengguyun and seeing off with the army, it turned out that Mengguyun begged for days, Lin Qin thought about it again and again, and felt that the prophecy of the man in white shirt had been broken, and he couldn't bear to be disappointed by his son, and finally agreed that he would see off Mengjing and Menggufeng with him, and at this time, the army set off from Heng'an City.

"Strange, why are the eyes of the stone lion outside the mansion red again?" The soldiers standing guard in the Heavenly Dream Mansion said.

"It won't be smeared by the little boy again." The other soldier didn't know why.

"It shouldn't be, the little boy went with his wife to send the master on the expedition early this morning, could it be him."

"Is that really strange? I've been standing guard here and haven't seen anyone else at all. ”

...
