Lifu Waiyuan Barracks, Chengxi City, Kazhou

Tonight's clouds are extremely low, and the cool breeze has been blowing for a long time, and there is not an inch of moonlight in sight.

The curfew order of the Praetorian Guard camp has been in place for more than four years, and at this moment, when the meridian is replaced, naturally no soldier and half a soldier dares to leave the camp without authorization.

The unbearable past is vivid, and everyone clearly remembers that when the Marquis of Lihan remembered that there were few soldiers in the war from the cold, he wanted to transfer his Praetorian Guards to be loyal to the country. However, during the night exercise, he was attacked and interrogated by the three emperors, and because he did not tell the emperor in advance, he was forcibly detained on the charge of raising soldiers and horses privately and with ill intentions.

Although the emperor knew that the marquis had no intention of rebellion and had never been convicted, he no longer allowed the Praetorian Guards of the Lihou Mansion to conduct drills of any scale in any form for any purpose. It is also since that year, since the founding of the country, the court, the first time that the relationship between the marquis under one person and the emperor has a slight crack, although the power is still the same, but it is no longer the envy of the former ten thousand people.

And Taoguang has been obscure for more than 20 years, but because of the change of the ban on the guard this night, he has gradually gained the sacred heart, and he has joined forces with people, and he was appointed by the emperor as a peace envoy to the border last year when he was away from the cold war.

That year, the Moguo raided the cold, and the troops were caught off guard, and the troops were weak and almost wiped out. The high-spirited King Mo boasted of being trustworthy and righteous, leaving a living man to rush back to the capital of Jiazhou to inform him of the military situation in Lihan, and the government and the opposition were shocked for a while, and everyone was terrified.

It was the resourceful third prince who offered a plan to the distressed emperor in time, used himself as bait to go to the peace talks, and secretly brought the well-trained spirit soldiers of Lifu to surprise the king while he was not prepared.

Sure enough, the king of Mo, who thought that the army had been injured, took it lightly, and at the moment when the third prince signed the document of ceding Lihan, Wen Zhao, the general of the Lifu Praetorian Guard, who was full of light skills and was full of boldness, flew down and took the king of Mo hostage with lightning speed, signed a treaty that would never violate the border of Lihan again, and forced the country to retreat for 500 miles. In the end, he used his own way to govern his body, leaving the king of Mo alone, and walked back to the border of the desert country step by step.

After returning to Modu Ling'an, the young King Mo was angry, sad and angry, and he was bedridden since then, lingering on the sick bed for a long time, and finally died with hatred a year ago.

The wind that blew away the ashes of the bones of the desert king also blew down the tears of the people of the southern border. There was a great desire to suppress exploitation in the north, and barbarians in the west took advantage of the fire to rob, and the country of Mo, which suddenly lost its leader, fell into unprecedented chaos for a while, until the only son of the king of Mo ascended to the throne, and it was barely subdued.

In the dark age of wind and snow, the heart country thousands of miles north is a song and dance, and the prosperity is jubilant. The triumphant return of the three princes was greeted by the emperor's palace gate with the supreme honor, and was named the only prince under the crown prince on the same day.

However, the Lifu that sent the best soldiers and also contributed a lot did not receive any commendation from the emperor. Even General Wen Zhao, who held King Mo hostage at a critical moment, only rewarded a thousand taels of gold, and never even saw the emperor's face. Like an outsider, he returned home lonely, as bleak as before.

Since then, until the night, the moonlight shining into the camp of Lifu seems to be covered with dust and humiliation, and it has never been clear again.

"Did you call Ben Hou late at night just to talk this nonsense?"

Put down the curtain and walk back to the bed. I don't know if I am dissatisfied with the moon hiding under the clouds for a long time, or I am impatient to listen to nonsense for a long time. Hou Ye put the sandalwood beads that he had always cherished on the shelf, and his brows were tightly wrinkled and refused to let go.

"Hou Ye Mingjian! The last sentence is true, and there is no lie! Xiao Yao, who was leaning over and lying on the couch, moved in a hurry, and there was a sharp pain from the plate wound under his waist. He bared his teeth in pain, but still tried to stretch his neck and said miserably, "Master Hou thinks about it, if the words of the last general are false, then how can Wen Zhao be angry and hurriedly dispose of the last general——"

"You still don't regret it! If General Wen hadn't stopped him in time that day, an innocent life would have been buried under your sword in vain! ”

"She's innocent? Master Hou, what you heard, the last general told you that the woman was clearly the female thief who invaded the Hou Mansion that night! Xiao Yao argued, so anxious that he was sweating like rain. It is clear that Wen Zhao and her are colluding with each other, and the two of them should be together inside and outside, with bad intentions. Wen Zhao saw that he couldn't take it by force, so he planned to send her into the Hou Mansion and wait for the opportunity to steal your treasure again! ”

"Bastard! Do you know what you're talking about right now? Hou Ye slapped the table case and said angrily, "General Wen is the leader of the Lifu Praetorian Guard, how can you be so maliciously defiled!" Xiaoyao, since the day you entered the inner garden to see Ben Hou privately, you insisted that General Wen of Ben Hou had other plans to enter the mansion in his early years. This statement is nonsense, but Ben Hou saw that you swore to guarantee your life, and did not dispose of you, but instead guaranteed you all the way to the position of deputy general. As for you, not only have you not been able to find real evidence to prove your accusations for a long time, but now you are also reversing black and white and biting others. According to Ben Hou, you have been a fool from the beginning, coaxing Ben Hou to help you on your path to the clouds——"

"Master Hou! Don't be deceived by the wicked anymore! Think about it, Wen Zhao's martial arts are so strong, but that night he claimed to have been knocked out by thieves, and there was no half of the scar on his body; And the last general checked the woman's medicine case and found that she was clearly the poison of Wen Zhao's golden ring dart! With such conclusive evidence, not only did she not confess, but she also told such a ridiculous lie as amnesia, how can you believe her words! ”

"The poison of the Golden Ring... It is also possible that it came from the krait snake on the Chain Moon Mountain. Hou Ye eased his voice for no reason, but he still refused to let go, "It is far-fetched to use this as evidence......"

"Okay, even if Hou Ye thinks it's a coincidence, what about her injury? You know better than the end that the female thief is about to heal from such a serious injury! With such a strong internal kung fu, how many people are there in the world? Master Hou, if you look at these in your eyes, you really don't have more than half of your suspicions! ”

"You... How dare you snoop into the inner garden of the Hou Mansion......"

"Master Hou forgives sins! In order to seek the truth, the last general will have to pay more attention. Sending such an amazing and resourceful woman to Hou Ye's side, Wen Zhao's heart is really vicious. Xiao Yao looked at Hou Ye's weak expression, and said more and more colorfully. On that day, the female thief fell at the foot of the Lianyue Mountain, which was about to lose her the night before, and her clothes and body all matched. The last general was shocked and was busy trying to correct it, but when he saw it, he was stopped by Wen Zhao in a hurry. The last general was not satisfied and argued with him, but he concealed it, saying that what the Hou Ye wanted must be brought back to the mansion to deal with it......"

"It's... General Wen's words are true, and they are indeed Benhou's orders......."

Even if it was the order of the Hou Ye, the last general remembered that this woman's martial arts were unfathomable, and he was afraid that he would escape again on the way to escort her, so Jin Yan picked her tendons and tendons first, but Wen Zhao's expression became more and more flustered, and he still refused to deal with it with all kinds of words. If the two of them are not tired, the last general really doesn't believe it! Seeing that Hou Ye was still stunned and speechless, Xiao Yao was secretly happy in his heart, and asked, "Hou Ye, the last general dares to ask, he will be punished by military law in the next few days, and he is not by Wen Zhao's side, has he asked you about the situation of the female thief in the mansion?" ”

Hou Ye's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, grabbed the beads in his hand but forgot to move them. Xiaoyao saw it in his eyes, and the odds of winning in his heart increased by three percent. Although Wen Zhao disposed of himself, he also showed his feet at the same time. As long as there is a suspicion in Hou Ye's heart, if you check it for a minute, there will always be flaws.

At that time, the building will collapse, and he will undoubtedly be the best candidate to take over the position of the head and general of the Lihou Mansion.

"Wen Zhao... He entered the mansion since he was a child, and I personally raised him......" Hou Ye's voice was extremely weak, and he hesitated, "How could it be... What reason does he have? ”

"Master Hou! A man needs no reason to do evil things, can you really see his heart after all these years? The last general heard that Wen Zhao was an orphan boy taken in by the Hou Ye when Daxin captured the city of Kazhou. At the beginning of the year, the country was destroyed, the power of Kazhou was huge, and the situation was turbulent, how could you find out his origin! How can you ensure that he is not a remnant of the first country, and he is not a meticulous work of the Southern Desert to take advantage of the chaos to break into the north! How can such a person who is not clear about the details not have the heart of rebellion in the face of interests! Xiaoyao's eyes flickered with candles, and she lay panting in front of the couch with her body, like a poisonous snake in the dark. Hou Ye, Rong Mo will ask, the secret thing they want to steal, but the treasure of the early town of the country handed over to Hou Ye by the saint today is the treasure of the early town of the year, "Summoning the Spirit Song"? ”

It was as if a bucket of ice water was poured straight down from the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and there was a sudden chill around the body. Hou Ye's gaze instantly became fierce, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Xiaoyao's raised head, and he was so shocked that he lost the ability to speak for a while. After a long time, I saw that Hou Ye's expression eased slightly, squinted his eyes and raised his head, and slowly twisted the bead string in his hand for half a circle.

"Who told you about the Summoning Song?"
