Liang Fengmian walked back to the General's Mansion step by step with a heavy heart, when he walked to the door of the General's Mansion, there was a sharp pain in his chest, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, looking at the bright red on the handkerchief, he couldn't remember how many times he vomited blood now.

Uncle Liang came to the palace gate worriedly to wait, the general hurried from the barracks to the palace, and now it is time to come back, no matter what, he must go back to the general's palace to rest.

As soon as Uncle Liang arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Liang Fengmian standing outside the door, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Master, why didn't you come in when the master came back?" ”

Liang Fengmian saw that Liang Bo was coming, and hurriedly stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve, not wanting others to find out, so he responded: "Is Lonely in the house?" ”

"Young Master... As soon as the young master came back, he knelt in front of the lady's tablet, and he never got up until now. Liang Bo said with an embarrassed face.

He knew that something big had happened in the Celestial Empire now, and the emperor fainted in public this morning had already spread throughout the entire Shangjing City, and Liang Lin didn't say a word when he returned to the house, and knelt straight in the incense hall, and he never got up until now.

"Got it." Liang Fengmian answered, and walked towards the incense hall with a tired body.

"Master..."Liang Bo called out uneasily.

"I'll just go by myself, you don't have to follow." Liang Fengmian said.

Liang Bo had no choice but to stop here, looking at Liang Fengmian's distant back, Liang Bo only felt that in the recent period, the old man seemed to have aged twenty years old all of a sudden.

As soon as Liang Fengmian entered the incense hall, he saw Liang Liang kneeling in the hall, and he walked to his side.

Liang Xiao glanced at the person who came was his father, and said, "Father." ”

"Hmm." Liang Fengmian responded, and his eyes stayed on the tablet of Yang Suying enshrined in the incense hall.

Liang Fengmian lost his father and mother since he was a child, and he can't remember their names and appearances anymore.

When he was young, he followed the martial artist to learn martial arts, and followed those students to read and write in Qinhuai's private school.

Then he passed the imperial court assessment to join the army, and from a mere military commander to a general Jianwei who is now famous all over the world and terrified the enemy army, he is inseparable from the support of his beloved wife Yang Suying, but before she could enjoy the glory and wealth with him, she died in the border seil that he guarded for decades.

Now that Cangzhou is lost, it is not only the lives of the people who have died, but also the memories he has defended with his life.

The two stood and knelt in front of Yang Suying's tablet, silent, and the incense hall was quiet and could only hear the burning of incense candles and the chirping of cicadas in the distance.

"Father! Let my son personally lead the army to support in Shanzhou! Liang Liang was impatient, stood up with a bang, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

He hated those Daliang soldiers, if they hadn't repeatedly offended the border, the people of Cangzhou would still be happily sitting together to eat at this time, and his mother would not have been unable to see his father when he was dying!

Liang Fengmian raised his head and looked directly at the portrait of Yang Suying hanging from the height.

"Father! Let me go! Someone has to go to the capital to appease the people! Liang said anxiously.

"Someone has to go to the capital." After a long time, Liang Fengmian said slowly, "But it can't be you." He looked Liang Liang in the eye.

Liang Lin understood the hidden words in Liang Fengmian's eyes, and at this moment, he seemed to reacquaint himself with the father who accompanied him in the first half of his life.

Early the next morning.

The civil and military officials still entered from the main gate of the palace step by step, and went to the Jinluan Palace to go to the early court.

After what happened yesterday morning, the courtiers had another night's strategy in their hearts, and they were really under the same roof, but they had different hearts.

Lu Gaohong's expression was solemn, the loss of Cangzhou was also a disaster for him, no matter what, he was a prime minister who thought about the heavens and the people, and in order to review the general rules of the documents submitted by the state capitals, he did not bother all night.

Being in a high position, I can understand how precarious the situation is.

"The emperor has arrived—" Grandpa He still sang loudly as usual.

Qi Bingyu's head drooped from the jade to cover his bleak face, yesterday after Lin Yuanshou's treatment, his body has gradually improved, he should be resting in bed, but the current situation is different from the past, he can not rest assured that he can't go to the court, so he has to force his body to go to the court with illness.

"Long live my emperor, long live—" the courtiers shouted in unison.

This sentence seems so ridiculous at this time, Qi Bingyu himself knows very well, long live him, it is impossible, he can only try to use the rest of his strength to keep the Celestial Empire long live.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Qi Bingyu said.

"Emperor Xie—"

"Cangzhou was lost, and Shanzhou fell. The Great Liang thief is about to rush straight to Beijing, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, can Zhong Aiqing have a good plan? Qi Bingyu asked loudly.

At this time, the courtiers looked at each other one after another, whispering to each other in private, and Qi Bingyu had a headache when he saw it.

"Prime Minister Lu, as the head of a hundred officials, you should take the lead in setting an example." Qi Bingyu casually called someone out to answer.

"Back to the emperor." Lu Gaohong walked out of the queue of hundreds of officials and replied: "Now that Cangzhou is lost, the people who fled from the border and Cangzhou have rushed to the Central Plains, and some refugees have arrived in Luozhou, coupled with the fall of Qizhou, the people's hearts will definitely not be stable, Cangzhou is a fortress in the Central Plains, and the city defense is extremely tight, comparable to Shangjing, but now the entire city of Cangzhou is occupied by the enemy army of Daliang, and the army is unstable. Refugees are pouring in, and there are already rumors among the people that our great country is about to fall here. According to the minister's observation, a general should be sent to repel the enemy army in Daliang in order to stabilize the situation. ”

Lu Gaohong analyzed the key points word by word, although the words were inappropriate, but every sentence was true, now the people's hearts are unstable, the army's heart is uncertain, there are rumors that the Celestial Empire will be destroyed, and more people directly defect to Daliang to save their lives.

"Then according to what Aiqing sees, who can be up to this heavy responsibility?" Qi Bingyu asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends himself!" A few years ago, the newly elected martial champion and mighty general He Zhengliu stepped forward, "Weichen led the army to support the general Duwei who guarded the border a few months ago, and he thought that he was familiar with the combat methods of the Daliang army. ”

He Zhengliu is strong in martial arts, young and promising, although he is full of enthusiasm but arrogant and impatient, Qi Bingyu looked at him and did not speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends himself!" Qi Tai, the general of the Imperial Hussar of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty! Self-recommendation! "Sanpin Zhendong General Hua Jianghao stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends himself!" Wei Shen, the general of the Fourth Rank Martial Guard, saw that all his colleagues stepped forward one after another, and he couldn't hold back the blood flowing in his body, so he also stepped forward and said.

…

Qi Bingyu looked at the talented people and soldiers who were willing to fight, and his face was soothed, but he still couldn't wait for the excellent candidate in his mind.

Qi Bingyu's eyes stayed on Liang Fengmian, he hoped that Liang Fengmian could personally lead the army to the battle, because only Liang Fengmian was the best candidate for invincible in his mind.

Liang Lin stood behind Liang Fengmian, watching all the generals come forward to recommend themselves, he endured his steps and movements ready to go, and what he thought in his mind was his father's advice yesterday.

Seeing that the generals present all came forward to recommend themselves, the emperor still didn't say anything, everyone looked at Liang Fengmian, they all knew that what the emperor wanted most was that Liang Fengmian could go out in person.

Liang Fengmian looked straight ahead, was silent for a while, took a big step forward, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a boulder at the surface of a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves among the courtiers.

Could it be to recommend Major General Liang Lian?

"Who?" Qi Bingyu asked.

"Lord Jing, Qi Jingqin."
