After a moment, Weiyang said faintly, "The most tricky thing now is not Ninggu Pass, with Brother Han and Brother Jue here, there will definitely be nothing wrong there." ”

The afterimage raised his head and looked at Weiyang and whispered, "Young Master, are you worried that Nanzhao and Western Tang will join forces to attack?" ”

Weiyang sighed, "If the Western Tang Dynasty sends troops to attack with the strength of the whole country, Eastern Chu is in danger!" ”

"The Western Tang Kingdom is rich and strong, and he has come to coexist peacefully with Eastern Chu, and now that Eastern Chu is in civil strife, it will be really difficult for him to resist if a strong army attacks!" The afterimage was also worried for a moment.

"Among the four countries, only the Western Tang Dynasty has no internal worries, so it has become the first power in the world today; The monarch of the Western Tang Dynasty had no wives and concubines since he came to the harem, and strictly guarded the inheritance to support orthodoxy, which has been a single transmission for several generations. There was a flash of appreciation in Weiyang's eyes.

The afterimage saw that Weiyang picked up the teacup, frowned, looked at it, and put it down, then got up and poured her a cup of hot tea again, and brought it to her eyes.

"Young master, I heard that the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty was raised in the people, and he has practiced the way of governing the country since he was a child, and he is not pampered."

Weiyang took a few sips of hot tea, and the boredom in his heart decreased slightly.

"Well, but no one knows which one is the prince, but it's more mysterious than the one raised in the deep palace."

Remnant smiled, "Interesting! ”

Suddenly he thought of something again, and looked at the afterimage, "Shadow, do you remember the two things I gave you in Yanbei?" ”

The afterimage immediately nodded, "Young Master, didn't you say that it was an important object for Xiao Ye to identify himself?" I'm all in the purple bamboo forest. ”

"Send the message back and let someone quickly send that rhino horn device to Ningguguan and hand it over to Brother Han, maybe it will be of great use." Weiyang drank the tea in the cup, stopping the afterimage from adding to it.

"Yes, let's do it, young master, rest!" The afterimage got up and closed the window, and walked out of the painting hall to his own room next to him.

Late at night, Weiyang couldn't sleep, so he lay on the bed and stared at the top of the bed tent.

Capital.

Chu Jing's silver hair melted into one with the snow falling on the eaves, and he seemed to be twenty years older than half a year ago, and although his body was still tough, he also had difficulties to support.

In the main hall, the prince and King Li's people were arguing endlessly, and the quarrel made Chu Jing upset. His wind chill has not healed for several days, and his tall figure has a slight rickety under a closer look.

In the wind and snow, there was a woman in palace clothes carrying a food box, and her steps were not affected by the slippery snow.

"Lord Jing, this is sent to you by the Queen Mother's slave maid, please drink it while it's hot. The Queen Mother said that I heard that you have been coughing for a few days, and it has not been well, so the prescription of the special imperial doctor. The palace maid respectfully invited Prince Jing into the side hall and personally brought a bowl of steaming medicinal soup.

Chu Jing came back to his senses, no wonder he ran into the first seat of the Tai Hospital at the door of the main hall in the morning, and chatted a few words before saying goodbye.

"Thank you for the queen mother, her heart has been received by the king!" Chu Jing's voice was slightly astringent, and he stayed in the forbidden palace for days, and no one noticed that he coughed more seriously.

Seeing that Chu Jing drank the medicine, the palace maid bent down and saluted and then withdrew from the side hall to return to her life.

Mu Zheng carried a spear in his hand, riding on a tall horse from Fengxiang Pass and came out of the horse, yesterday received news that the Western Tang Kingdom cut wood to open the way, and ordered troops to run out of the border to Fengxiang Pass.

He has not been on the killing field for fifty years, but he is still in good spirits, and his back on the horse is straight, but his long hair and chest are no longer what they used to be.

The horse entered the mountain quickly, and after traveling a hundred miles, he broke through the formation and entered a mountain pass.

"General!" A man over half a hundred years old fell to one knee with a choked voice.

Mu Zheng turned over and dismounted, helped him up with his own hands, and said in a majestic voice, "There is no need to make this big gift again, today I just came to see if the junior has been messing around here for a few years, what kind of fame has been made, you can go and see if you have made a scene." ”

The man stood up, clenched his fists and praised, "General, the Mu family, whether it is a son or a young lady, is a young hero, and I am convinced!" ”

Mu Zheng was heartbroken, and his face was still serious and he followed the man into the mountain pass.

There are 100,000 elite soldiers stationed here, and he doesn't feel the hustle and bustle at all when he goes in and out, and he is quiet wherever he goes.

"Have all the people left the mountain?" Mu Zheng asked.

The man replied respectfully, "General, everyone is scattered for training, and the two young masters have asked for silent marching, which has become a habit, so be quiet, please go to the back mountain to see." ”

Mu Zheng nodded, and followed the man around a mountain beam to see a training ground, where everyone was calm and focused, not affected by external factors at all.

Mu Zheng couldn't help but admire, his brother and sister were much stronger than they were back then. At that time, he only knew how to go into battle to kill the enemy, but he did not know how to intensively raise troops, and the soldiers in this place could be worth ten with one.

came and went in a hurry, and before sunset, Mu Zheng returned to Fengxiang Pass.

Feng Shen accompanied Mu Zheng for dinner, and asked Mu Zheng for advice on the formation.

Mu Zheng liked his studiousness, and explained everything he knew in detail, which benefited him a lot.

Feng Shen is two years older than Mu Qinghan, and was inserted into Fengxiang Pass as a guard three years ago. He was picked up by Gongzi Wenji back to the Zizhu Forest since he was a child, and all his martial arts were passed down by Gongzi Wenji, guarding Phoenix City for the Mu family.

He is the only personal disciple of Gongzi Wenji, after Gongzi Wenji passed away, Mu Zheng took over the responsibility of teaching, and Mu Qinghan is the same, including the art of the family legend.

Feng Ember was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist extremely strong, but his mind was not as bluffing as his appearance, but he was shy. Except for Mu Qingyan, who is used to it, he is silent whenever he gets along with women.

Three years ago, he asked Mu Qingyan for her two personal maids with not weak martial arts Crystal and Jade, hoping to help him take charge of the affairs in the General's Mansion. But when he arrived, he hid when he saw the two of them, and every time Mu Qingyan came to the crystal and jade, he had to sue several times. Mu Qingyan didn't care, how to make trouble, but it was more profitable.

Feng Ember didn't care about it, as long as there were good things, she gave them to the two maids, and asked them to put them away and wait for the cigarettes to come for her to play.

Mu Qingyan was like a punch on a pile of cotton, no matter how he hit him, he was not angry, and he was very frustrated.

He knows that Yan'er is good, since she is sensible, the robes on his body and the accessories he wears are all personally selected by Yan'er, which is timely and not arrogant. Often the inner clothes are more expensive than the outer robes, and even the hosta that binds the hair is made of inconspicuous material, but it is a rare and superb in the world. The furnishings of the residence are all extraordinary, a bowl and a plate, a bottle and a lamp, a quilt and a mattress show the atmosphere and are not luxurious, and he is raised to be calm and relaxed.

Not to mention that he is still an orphan, the son of the family is afraid that he is not as honorable as him.

Mu Qinghan treats him like a brother, and all the industries in Mufu Phoenix City are under his control, and he counts tens of millions of dollars in and out every year. Mu Qinghan taught him to take care of all kinds of affairs, received all kinds of characters, and did his best to help him establish a network of contacts, and made him a unique character, based on the upper class society of Eastern Chu.

After a few trips with Mu Zheng and asking people to wait for him to sleep, he came out, got on the horse and went to the gate.

Now that the strong soldiers of the Western Tang Dynasty are already on the way, he personally urges the soldiers guarding the pass to be ready for battle. No matter how strong Xitang is, as long as he Feng Ember is there, Feng Xiangguan must be there, and he secretly clenched his fists.

Before dawn, the afterimage looked anxiously under the corridor outside the window, and the young master had not slept well recently, so he didn't dare to disturb.

Weiyang was awake all night, and when he heard the footsteps of the afterimage back and forth, he knew that he was in a hurry, "Shadow, come in!" ”

"Young master, are you awake?" Knowing that he was so impatient, with the young master's internal strength, he would have to wake up even if he was asleep, so he took three steps and two steps to the door, stretched out his arm and pushed the door into the painting hall.

Weiyang tore off his robe and put it on, put on his shoes and went out of the inner room and bypassed the screen to the painting hall, and asked with a tired expression, "What's wrong?" ”

"Young master, look at this!" As he spoke, the remnant handed over a note.

Weiyang raised his hand and took it close to the window, and was also shocked when he took a closer look, only to see that it was written: 500,000 strong soldiers in the Western Tang Dynasty have arrived at Fengxiang Pass and camped for hundreds of miles, and they are personally led by the general soldiers, so please prepare as soon as possible.

"It's coming so fast!" Weiyang took the opportunity to sit down in a chair.

The afterimage handed over another note, "Young master, Nanzhao and Xitang have joined forces to prepare to encircle Qixia Pass." ”

Weiyang didn't answer the note, and looked at the sky outside the window that was gradually brightening and fell into deep thought.

The afterimage turned around and went out, and after a while, he came back with a basin of water, and saw that Weiyang was still frowning and thinking, and he didn't dare to disturb, so he came in with a pot of tea very lightly, and poured half a cup for Weiyang.

When he brought the cup to drink some water, his hand shook, and a mouthful of blood spit on the teacup, and the cuffs of his hands were soaked with blood.

"Young master!" The afterimage was so frightened that he threw the cup in his hand, and stepped forward to support Weiyang, who was about to fall.

The afterimage looked incredulous, bent over and carried the unconscious Weiyang to the inner room, and placed him on the big bed, thinking anxiously in his heart, why hadn't Cangxin arrived yet.

He stayed by Weiyang's bedside and stayed there, waking up almost an hour later.

"Ahem, ahem......"

"Shadow?" Weiyang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the nervous afterimage.

The afterimage immediately retracted his gloom, "Young master, are you okay?" ”

"Pour me a glass of water!" Weiyang said weakly.

The afterimage immediately trotted downstairs to bring back a large bowl of warm water, approached Weiyang's lips and rinsed his mouth, and poured tea for her to drink.

"Young master, this is the second time in the half moon, it is absolutely impossible to go on like this, I have already sent a message to Shen Gongzi to come here, and it will come in a few days." The afterimage looked uneasy but determined.

"It's okay, Shen Luochen's medical skills are superb, maybe you can try!" Weiyang relieved himself for a while, and his spirit improved a lot, and he also had some strength in his body, "Prepare some food, I'll change my clothes and come, and you can go to a place with me after eating!" ”

The remnant agreed and went out.

Weiyang meditated on the bed, running the internal force to find the discomfort in the body, but after the completion of the exercise every day, she found nothing, her meridians were unobstructed at all, and the internal force was not weakened, which was very strange.

I changed my clothes and sat down with some white porridge.

"Gone!" Weiyang went downstairs first.

The afterimage didn't ask any questions, but followed Weiyang out of Wuling City to the south, bypassing the Zhaoying camp all the way, and came to a valley in half a day.

Weiyang opened the hidden valley mouth in a special way, and the two bent down into the dark passage.

The tunnel was narrow enough for only one person to pass sideways, and it took about half an hour to come to a large stone chamber, and when I looked inside, I saw the verdant valley.

"Don't touch anything here, follow me!" Weiyang instructed.

The remnant nodded beside her.

After walking into the valley for another quarter of an hour, they saw a sea of flowers.

A girl in a blue dress chases butterflies among flowers, carefree, innocent and cute.

"Lu'er!" Weiyang stood still and shouted to the girl in the blue dress.

Hua Lu was stunned for a moment when she heard this voice, and then she saw Weiyang standing behind her in white, and she rushed to her with a cheer.

"I thought you wouldn't come again, but I missed it!" Hualu hugged Weiyang's waist with both hands, leaning all her weight into Weiyang's arms, and a small head kept moving in her arms.

The corners of Weiyang's lips smiled shallowly, "I see that there are traces of discrepancies in the dark passage in the back mountain, and Brother Xun is not in the valley?" ”

"I don't know where he went, he was still there last night, but he couldn't be found when he got up early this morning!" Hua Lu looked curiously at the afterimage behind Weiyang, although he was thinner, he looked extraordinary, and he looked a few years older than Weiyang.

"Sister, who is that person?" Flower Dew's eyes were full of inquiry.

Weiyang glanced back at the afterimage and said lightly, "It's not what you think!" ”

Flower Dew seemed to be half-convinced and withdrew her gaze.

"How could my sister lose so much weight, I must take that pillow away this time, I forgot last time!" Hua Lu turned around twice in front of and behind Weiyang, thinking that she had lost weight because she couldn't sleep well.

"Lu'er, I suddenly want to eat rose cakes, do you?" Weiyang asked with a smile, she didn't know why, as long as she thought of the cake, she felt like she hadn't eaten for a few days, and she was hungry.

Hua Lu's eyes narrowed with a smile, "No, don't worry, I'll pick some fresh roses and make them, you wait for me!" So saying, he ran into the depths of the flowers.

Weiyang looked at Hua Lu with some envy, like her, she can only barely get through a simple life like her, but she can only barely get through when she is back to Miss Mujia, but she is not really simple.

"Let's go." Weiyang raised his legs and walked up the hillside, and after crossing a low slope, he saw several houses.

Weiyang threw the afterimage under the porch and entered the study by himself, sat in the seat where Hua Xun used to sit, and picked up a book that he had seen halfway, but found nothing.

Flower Dew came back with the budding roses in her coat, and was carefully examining the afterimage under the porch.

Weiyang held back a smile and came out of the study.

"Lu'er, I'll do it for you!" Weiyang rolled up his sleeves and was about to clean his hands when he revealed half of his thin white wrist.

Hua Lu rolled her eyes and said funny, "You better forget it, it's a disservice every time, I'll make you a pot of soothing tea to drink." ”

As he spoke, he put the roses in a basket made of thin branches, and carried them into the next room. After a while, he came back with a large coarse porcelain pot and poured a full cup for Weiyang, and instantly a refreshing fragrance of flowers wafted across the hall.

Weiyang closed her eyes comfortably and smelled the smell, maybe this incense could calm her nerves, she suddenly felt that the disgust in her heart during the half moon was much lighter, and her tense spirit suddenly relaxed.

I couldn't wait to pick up the larger coarse porcelain cup close to my nose and inhale the aroma, my eyebrows relaxed, and my mood became better.
