"Not very surprised." Mu Liancheng played with the teacup in his hand, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, "I suspected that Mu Beituo was still alive earlier, and sent people to search around in Dayan, but I didn't find any trace of him, if he is either dead, he went to Xiyi or Beiqiang, and now he appears here, in fact, it is not unusual." ”

"So you've been aware of it for a long time?" Feng couldn't help but secretly sigh again, this person was indeed keen, "Then can you guess what he said to me?" ”

"How do I know that? I'm not a fairy, can I pinch it? Mu Liancheng couldn't help laughing.

Feng pouted his lips lightly and said, "I saw that you were so spirited, and I thought you would." ”

"Okay, tell me quickly, what did Mu Beituo say to you?" Mu Liancheng found that his hand was still attached to the back of her hand, and quietly took it back,

Feng Qingfang pretended not to notice, "He wants to see you, saying that he has a military secret to hand over to you." ”

"Military secrets?" Mu Liancheng frowned at this time, and asked thoughtfully, "Where did you see it?" ”

Feng Qingfang told him the address and time, and then asked him, "Do you really want to see Mu Beituo?" I don't think what he said is the truth at all, saying that he may have colluded with the Xiyi King to deliberately lead you to jump into the fire pit. ”

"Of course he won't tell the truth, but it doesn't matter, we can take the bait and lead him to the bait." Mu Liancheng said with a smile, and the cold light under his eyes flashed.

It's a game, and it's up to you to see who comes first.

Since he said so, Feng Qingfang didn't say anything more.

"It's best if you know it in your own heart."

Then there was silence.

Feng Qingfang felt that she and Mu Liancheng seemed to be more estranged than before, probably because of the child, she had nothing to complain about, after all, the responsibility was on her.

"Are you still rushing back to the camp?"

"No, it's getting late, I'll rest here for the night, and it's not too late to rush back tomorrow morning."

Hearing him say this, a trace of joy passed through Feng Qingfang's heart, but he didn't show it, but said very arrogantly: "The bed here is narrow, and it can't sleep two people." ”

Mu Liancheng raised his sword eyebrows on the left side and chuckled: "You misunderstood, I want to find another room for one night, not to occupy your bed." ”

Feng Qing was embarrassed, and said angrily: "That's the best, I'm going to sleep, you go out!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and pushed Mu Liancheng out, wanting to drive people out.

"Are you really going to drive me away?" Mu Liancheng looked at her funny, and his tone was quite aggrieved.

"You said you wanted to find another room to sleep in, so let's go, I'm happy to ......"

Only halfway through the words, the rest of the words were blocked back by Mu Liancheng's sudden kiss.

Feng Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed him, but both wrists were firmly locked, and the whole person leaned forward, fell into Mu Liancheng's arms, and was quickly imprisoned.

Well, I can't move now.

She simply stopped struggling and slowly responded to him.

Just when this fire was about to burn out of control, Mu Liancheng finally let go of Feng Qingfang, looked down at her misty eyes, and said with a smile: "Qingfang, I miss you very much." ”

Feng Qingfang's heart twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears, so he hurriedly buried his face in his chest and whispered, "I miss you too, but I ...... it."

"Don't think about the past," Mu Liancheng seemed to guess what she was going to say, so he interrupted her, "People should look forward, not blindly dwell on the past." ”

"You don't blame me?"

"I've never blamed you." He was sad about the loss of his child, but he had no right to blame Feng Qingyi, if he was in the capital at the time, then this tragedy would not have happened, as a husband, he failed to take care of his wife and children, this is his dereliction of duty.

These days, in fact, it was because of guilt that he didn't dare to come to see Feng Qingfang.

Even if Mu Liancheng said so, Feng Qingyan couldn't pass this level in his heart for the time being, besides......

Alas, forget it, let's not think about it yet.

On the morning of the fifteenth, Mu Liancheng and Feng Qingfang really went to the previous restaurant and saw Mu Beituo alone in the same private room.

He was still wearing the navy blue robe, surrounded by a turban of the same color, looking like a dusty man, with a humble posture and a smile, which was like the three princes in the past.

"The grass people see the emperor, the queen."

And claim that the drafters are coming?

Feng glanced at Mu Beituo wildly, always looking strange everywhere.

Mu Liancheng was extremely calm, raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's talk in the house." ”

The three of them went to the room and sat down, chatting and gossiping while drinking tea, and after talking nonsense for a while, they finally got down to business.

"You said that the Xiyi army will invade Xicui Pass again?"

"Yes, and at midnight five days later, the Xiyi army will march in two ways, attacking Xicui Pass from the west and south respectively, and the emperor should prepare as soon as possible." Mu Beituo is the color road.

Mu Liancheng lowered his eyes, there was no expression on his face, people couldn't see what he was thinking, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Why does the emperor ask that?" Mu Beituo pretended to be stupid.

Mu Liancheng didn't accept this, and said bluntly when he had something to say: "You spent so much effort to sneak into Cui County, and found the queen to contact me, and you didn't hesitate to risk your life to tell me such important information, you should always ask for something, right?" ”

"Dayan Guotai and Min'an, the retreat of the Xiyi army can be regarded as what I want, right?"

"If you have to talk like that, it's boring, I don't have that much patience."

Mu Beituo looked at him steadily, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, and he said frankly: "Then I'll tell the truth, I will be an internal response in the Xiyi army, cooperate with the emperor to defeat Xiyi, and just hope that after the completion of the great work, I can return to Dayan, be an idle prince, plant flowers and raise grass every day, and live the second half of my life smoothly, that's all, the emperor should not be disappointed, right?" ”

That's it? Feng Qingfang didn't believe it, let alone Mu Liancheng.

Although everyone's hearts are like mirrors, Mu Liancheng still has to cooperate with the acting, and he bowed his head and said: "If your intelligence can help Dayan repel Xiyi, then I should reward you, and if you want to be the prince of Dayan, why is it difficult?" ”

"When the emperor said so, I was relieved."

The two of them talked back and forth a few words, and Mu Beituo got up to leave.

"I have to rush back to the Xiyi military camp, farewell."

Feng Qingfang leaned against the window, looking at Mu Beituo's figure below and walking away, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

"How much do you think Mu Beituo's words are true and how false?"

Mu Liancheng smiled and replied: "In my opinion, there are only two points at most, Xiyi is indeed going to attack Xicui Pass in the middle of the night after five days, but whether to divide the troops into two ways and attack from the west and south is not necessarily." ”

In other words, it may be that the Xiyi army may only have one army, and it may not be in the middle of the night.

In short, there are too many variables.

"And what are you going to do?" Feng Qingmad believed that if it was his own change, for the sake of insurance, the best way was to order the three armies to prepare for defense and hold their troops first.

But her instincts told her that Mu Liancheng didn't intend to do this.

"This is a great opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the Xiyi army, and it must not be missed, but how to use this opportunity to fight back, I have to go back and think about it."

Feng Qingyan doesn't know the art of military affairs, even if she wants to help, she is powerless, and besides, it is inconvenient for her to enter and leave the barracks as a woman, so she can only watch.

After lunch, Mu Liancheng rushed back to the barracks, and then summoned his generals to discuss how to deal with the upcoming war.

Most of the generals proposed to stand still, strictly defend to the death, Xicui Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as it is tightly armed, the Xiyi army is no matter how brave it is, it will not be able to conquer it.

However, in Mu Liancheng's eyes, this is the second best choice, what he wants is to hit the enemy army hard, but none of the more than a dozen generals in the tent can give him satisfactory advice.

Just when everyone fell silent, a man stood up and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the last general has an idea that he can inflict heavy damage on the enemy army, but he has to take a big risk. ”

Everyone followed the sound and saw that this person was burly, twenty-five or sixteen years old, a head taller than an ordinary man, it was Jiang Tianba, who once occupied the mountain in Yunzhou as the king, and later accepted Zhao'an, entered the barracks, and became a mighty general step by step.

Mu Liancheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Why don't you tell me about it?" ”

"On the east mountain of Xicui Pass, there is a narrow mountain road, which can lead directly to the basin thirty miles away, where the Xiyi army is stationed, if our army sneaks through the mountain road and smashes the enemy camp, it will definitely cause the three armies to be in chaos, and when the fire in the camp burns out, and when the Xiyi army returns, our army will be able to catch it off guard if it pursues it from the front." Jiang Tianba said calmly.

The others all had surprised looks on their faces, because no one had heard of such a mountain path on the East Mountain.

After a while, Yan Feng, the guard of Xicui Pass, questioned: "The East Mountain is rugged and difficult to travel, even if there is a mountain road, I am afraid it will be difficult to march, not to mention that if the enemy army has already laid an ambush, our army will only suffer death, this is really too risky, the soldiers are afraid that they will also have a fear of difficulties, and the possibility of success is not great." ”

Jiang Tianba smiled indifferently and said: "What General Yan said is not unreasonable, but when the army marches and fights, it is inevitable to take risks, the Xiyi army is well-fed, and if they continue to fight like this, when will they be able to beat them back to Xiyi?" This is obviously a good time to fight back, and it would be a pity to miss it. ”

"As for taking the mountain road, the emperor doesn't have to worry, the last general is willing to lead his five thousand elite soldiers to set off one day in advance, and try to arrive before midnight that day to complete the raid mission!"

Everyone saw that he was confident, and they all secretly laughed at him for not knowing the difficulties when he was young and not knowing what he could do.

Only Mu Liancheng showed a smile with three points of appreciation on his face, this Jiang Tianba was really good, he didn't see the wrong person back then, before this meeting was held, he had thought of this strategy, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he didn't expect Jiang Tianba to think of going with him.
