At dusk, Qin Yan finally woke up.

I don't know where it hurts, but the bones in my body are crying out for discomfort. After a while, he could feel the qi and blood constantly scurrying in his physical strength, sometimes boiling, sometimes cold.

Yu Ranqing came in with a large tray, and Jiang Tao hurriedly took it and put it on the table.

Looking at Qin Yan who woke up, Yu Ranqing smiled reassuringly, "Eat something." ”

Qin Yan nodded.

Mu Qinghan returned from outside, and the three of them ate at the same table.

After dinner, "Gongzi Han, you can attack the city tonight!" Qin Yan drank tea and said coldly.

"It's been delayed for three days, and it's not bad for this night, so why rush the meal on the plate." Mu Qinghan responded lightly.

Qin Yan didn't refuse, drank all the tea in the cup, raised his legs and walked out.

Jiang Tao put his hands together and gave Mu Qinghan a deep salute, and trotted out after him.

Yu Ranqing smiled again.

Mu Qinghan pulled her over and sat on his lap, not knowing what he said in her ear, which made Yu Ranqing look blushing.

Qin Yan's camp, everyone was summoned here.

"Xiang Tianqi?"

Xiang Tianqi stepped forward, "The end will be!" ”

"Nanzhao's general Ruan Qi has never appeared, and this battle will not be simple." Qin Yan paused slightly, "Tonight, your mission is to find him and defeat him!" ”

"The last general will not fail in his mission."

Qin Yan nodded, "Gongzi Xi listens to the order: take your surprise attack camp with Gongzi Han tonight, everything is under his command, and you must not leak any news with the surprise attack camp before entering the city." ”

Xi Yanxing calmly responded to the order and returned to the team.

After nightfall, the siege began.

Nanzhao poured half of his troops to defend the city, and the condescending advantage strengthened the confidence of the defenders. Xiang Tianqi's team climbed halfway to the city wall and folded down, screaming miserably.

Xiang Tianqi personally inspected the soldiers who had touched the city wall, and all the skin that leaked out was like being roasted by fire, and the smoke was black, and the serious places were like fire.

"General Qin, there are strange things on the city wall!" Xiang Tianqi gasped.

Qin Yan looked far away, and the east of the city was still quiet.

"Bring the oil and pour it on the walls and gates, and lift the wood!"

Xiang Tianqi and Wei Xiangdong agreed together and went separately.

In an instant, there was a sea of fire on the city wall, and the huge rolling logs were lifted by dozens of people, and they slammed into the city gate one after another.

As Qin Yan expected, the general of Nanzhao appeared at the head of the city, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was evil and playful.

Ruan Qi was the illegitimate son of the national teacher and the king of Nanzhao. In appearance, there are more national teachers, although they are outstanding but not outstanding, they also reveal a strange evil spirit, and they are sick and sick; The body is slender and long, dressed in black, and the tips of the eyes are slightly hanging.

With him came a large number of crossbowmen, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky.

"Retreat!" Xiang Tianqi roared loudly.

It was followed by the shield armor battalion, and then Ye Heng's bow and arrow battalion.

Be in apple-pie order.

Suddenly, a fire broke out in the city, and a puff of blue smoke shot into the air for a long time.

The city is broken.

Qin Yan disappeared.

King Nanzhao handed over the letter of surrender: cut the land for 300 miles, one year old for three years old.

A day and night later, Dongfang Feng Jue personally led the army back to the north.

The sting that went to find Weiyang is back.

"Lord, there is a pool of deep water under the cliff, and there is no one to visit."

Mu Qinghan was extremely discouraged.

"Where are the people of Weiyang?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

After a respectful salute, he replied, "Still searching!" ”

Dongfang Fengjue stood on the edge of the cliff, letting the wind and rain soak, and refused to leave for a long time.

The return to the city was very smooth, Mu Qinghan repaired Hades King Ze, and Dongchu and Nanzhao were still bound by this natural risk.

On the night of the garrison Qixia Pass, Xitang handed over the war book.

"I am a great country in the Western Tang Dynasty, and I am not ashamed to attack with Nanzhao. Now the garrison in the wilderness can only ask for a battle, just because he has long admired Qin Yan's prestige. Your soldiers will return from the battle for the first time, and three days later, Tang Feng will be waiting in the plains. ”

"Dongfang, this battle is handed over to you, the character of a gentleman in the Western Tang Dynasty is worthy of respect!" Mu Qinghan walked out, "I'm worried about my senior sister's injury, so I'll go back to Wuling City tonight." ”

Dongfang Fengjue got up and walked out of the camp first with a gesture that could not be refused, "Let's go together." ”

When the two of them came out, they met Chu Jin, and the three of them walked together.

Along the way, until I entered Wuling City, there was no trace of the Western Tang soldiers raging.

"Tang Feng of the Western Tang Dynasty is also a wizard who is extremely strict with the army, if there is no Qin Yan, no one in my Eastern Chu can compete with him." Mu Qinghan sighed.

Dongfang Fengjue nodded, "I am blessed with Dongchu, but what is the will of heaven?" Every piece of the pile is because of the inheritance, manpower wins the sky! ”

Entering Qingqi Winery, the shopkeeper was stunned, and then hurriedly greeted him, "Young Master Han, Shen Gongzi is gone." ”

"What about my senior sister?" Mu Qinghan was slightly stunned.

The shopkeeper's head hung lower, "Also, too, missing." ”

"When? Have you sent someone to look for it? "Mu Qinghan deliberately bit the word 'send' very hard.

The shopkeeper was a little flustered, "The young master who returned to the cold, he has not returned in five or nine, and none of the people who went to look for him have received any news." ”

Tingfeng and Mo Xuan both stayed in Lucheng, and Mu Qinghan had no one to use for a while.

"Shopkeeper, let people go to the west of the city to invite General Feng to come and see him!"

The shopkeeper agreed.

Mu Qinghan and Dongfang Fengjue sat down, each thinking about their hearts and minds, and no one spoke.

In a moment, the man came to serve the two of them to wash.

When Feng Ember came, the three of them sat downstairs drinking tea.

"Cangxin has already asked people to look for it, and there is news to report as soon as possible."

Mu Qinghan nodded, and asked about the gossip inside and outside the city and in the Western Tang Dynasty these days, and the three watches dispersed.

said Qin Yan.

On the day the city was broken, he rode alone, and there was only one goal.

When I got to the edge of the cliff, I gave up my horses, and I looked for the slightly easier mountain wall to go down with the best light skills, and the artist was bold. Although I know that the cliff is very deep, I only know when I really do it, and it is far more dangerous than what I judge in my heart.

Half flying, half longitudinal, tossing for half a day before landing under the cliff.

There is a waterfall in the middle of the cliff, and the pool is bottomless. The calm water of the pool reflects the emerald color of the trees and grass on the shore, like her eyes, clear and quiet.

Qin Yan's heart fell into the pool water, and the mottled light and shadow were filled with her pure smile, warm and seductive. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and the light and shadow through the leaves fell on the back of his hand, and Weiyang's face was coquettish and slightly annoyed.

He smiled. Looking at her lively and mischievous appearance, I laughed out of tears.

In the middle of summer, the water in the pool is extremely cold.

Qin Yan dived into the water again and again, and carefully searched for a deep pool boy seven or eight times. The huge pain at the tip of his heart came quickly and violently, just like his silent tears, which burned his eyes and bones, and the traces that could never be erased under the brand were destined to be remembered for a lifetime.

Three days later, Qin Yan returned to Qixia Pass.

No one dared to approach him, let alone ask him. He carried the cold of a thousand years of ice and snow, and he would feel frozen if he got closer.

Mu Qinghan is one of the few people who is not afraid of the cold, he handed over the war book of the Western Tang Dynasty to Qin Yan in person, and said earnestly: "If the foreign enemy does not go, the internal strife will be difficult to peace." ”

Qin Yan didn't say much, and this time he didn't answer half a sentence.

There were a lot of formations, and it only took half a day, and everything became orderly in his hands.

Unlike Nanzhao, the battle with the Western Tang Dynasty used a contest in the art of war between each other, which was dignified and upright. This battle lasted for three months, and no matter from the use of soldiers to the use of tactics, Tang Feng was convinced.

We should restore old friendship with each other and coexist peacefully with each other as a covenant of non-aggression.

After Dongfang Fengjue, Mu Qinghan and Qin Yan discussed together, they ceded the three hundred miles of territory adjacent to the border between Zenan and the Western Tang Dynasty and gave it to the Western Tang Dynasty.

"Although the three hundred miles of mountains and rivers are temporarily returned to Eastern Chu, it is not easy to rule because of the distance from Hades Ze. And it is close to the Nanzhao Wangcheng, and the dispute will not be broken, so it is better to be a favor and send it to the Western Tang Dynasty. Dongfang Fengjue said lightly.

Qin Yan didn't seem to have anything to do with him, he didn't want to say more than half a sentence, and the whole person was like being wrapped in ice and snow, looking at the book in his hand intently.

Chu Jin has no territory in his heart, so he just drinks his tea.

"What Dongfang said is very true, Nanzhao has been unstable since ancient times, although my Dongchu hit the Nanzhao King City this time, but I can't really take this city and this clan into the bag, I always have a thorn, I don't know when it will hurt." As a bystander, Qi Yan only said the facts, "And the lord of Nanzhao is very evil, although he handed over the surrender letter, who knows when it will be ruined?" People of different races cannot be trusted. If it would be a good idea to give the 300 miles of Nanzhao to the Western Tang Dynasty, we should also look at the ability of the Western Tang Dynasty. ”

Mu Qinghan nodded, "Young Master Qi is thoughtful. He looked up at Qin Yan, "General Qin, this matter still has to be handled by you." ”

Qin Yan nodded, threw down the book in his hand, his eyes still lingered on it for a while before he smoothed out a fine piece of silk, dipped the purple wolf's pen with ink, and the words of the iron painting silver hook fell on the silk silk, just like himself, with a cold coldness.

There is not a single superfluous word in the short note, and it is not polite.

The tiger talisman in his hand was filled with cinnabar and covered on the silk silk and handed it to Dongfang Fengjue, and then turned the mechanism to unscrew the tiger talisman, leaving the half of the piece given to him by the emperor, and returning the half of Dongfang Fengjue to him.

Dongfang Fengjue took it in the palm of his hand, and stared at it for a long time before retracting it into his sleeve pocket. This half of the tiger talisman determines his identity, and also determines the future emperor of Eastern Chu, whether he wants it or not, he can only be willing.

"Leave 100,000 people to guard the pass, and return to the court in three days!" Qin Yan picked up the book in his hand again, calm and unwavering.

Dongfang Fengjue nodded and sighed, "It's time to go back." ”

Mu Qinghan saw helplessness in his eyes, the Eastern Chu family disrupted his life under the banner of serving the country and the people, and forced him to carry the country that he had no intention of doing. He was suddenly unsure whether the next position of auxiliary master from the hands of several old men was correct, but he knew that Dongfang Fengjue had lost his freedom and everything he wanted in his heart.

He was deeply sorry, for himself and for those who wanted to find the Lord of the Holy Ming for the Eastern Chu River.

That night, Feng Shen withdrew from Wuling City with the defenders of Fengxiang Pass.

That night, the Banner Army withdrew from Wuling City.

That night, the remaining soldiers of the Western Tang Dynasty all returned to the west, and there was not a single one left.

When the day was about to dawn, Mu Qinghan took Yu Ranqing to leave a book.

Capital.

It has been more than four days since Mu Zheng and Dongfang Yin came back from Fengxiang, and they have asked the Internal Affairs Office to meet Mu Qingyan one after another, but they have not been approved, and King Li asked the personal eunuch to pass the word, only saying that the imperial concubine is sick and is kept in the Zhaoyang Palace, so it is not appropriate to disturb.

Mu Zheng lost his temper in front of the eunuch, and even smashed the antiques in front of the hall, and he was about to rush out with a cold and shining sword like a black-faced god.

The eunuch was frightened, threw away his armor all the way and ran out of Shuiyue Villa, and after getting into the carriage, he shouted, "Go back to the palace quickly, it's terrible, Mu Zheng is crazy." The little eunuch who followed hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and he didn't look like he was proud of his might on weekdays.

It wasn't until the carriage went far away that Chu Jing and Dongfang Yin came out of the back hall.

"Although this play is well acted, we still have to persevere." Chu Jing was filled with indignation, "Continue to ask for a meeting tomorrow, if you can't do it, it's okay to go to the palace gate." ”

Dongfang Yin calmed down in the end, "Tomorrow, Lord Jing, you will go with Mu Zheng, and the more unseemly the trouble, the better." Since King Li was able to plunder the people of our mansion without the knowledge of people and ghosts, he must have had a careful plan beforehand. From this point of view, An Xinlou's methods are not clever, but I don't know which stupid person made this prisoner's strategy. ”

Mu Zheng snorted: "Does he really think he can do anything? It's okay to say elsewhere, with my Shuiyue Villa alone, even if he pours all the troops of the capital to defend it, if I don't close the formation, he won't want to cross the wall, hum! ”

"Oh? Could it be that Brother Mu knew in advance that he was going to plunder people? Dongfang Yin was curious.

Chu Jing also looked at Mu Zheng when he heard this.

"I don't know!" Mu Zheng replied simply, "Han'er reminded me before going north that if King Li seizes the throne, he will definitely use the Eastern Chu family to show his authority." When I left Beijing, I closed all the formations of Shuiyue Mountain Villa to avoid attracting too much attention from him. ”

Chu Jing nodded, "He even confined me to the palace for several months, what else can't be done?" ”

"Thinking about it, Chu Li was afraid of the ability of a few juniors, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even care about it on a whim, so he imprisoned the elders of several of our families and kept them for coercion." Dongfang Yin's gloomy face had a little contempt.

"Let's act tonight, now that we know where the cage is, arrange the people in advance and wait for the opportunity." Dongfang Yin is also anxious in his heart, his old wife's body has always been weak, and he doesn't know if he can withstand this incident.

Chu Jing was also worried about Nangong Yingyue, and since he tied his hair with her, he had never left lightly.

Only Mu Zheng was clear in his heart, and Yan'er's girl was in Nanzhao, but she didn't know which one entered the palace.

The three of them had something on their minds and were restless.

Suddenly, someone fell into the inner courtyard, dressed in a black shirt.

Mu Zheng asked the two of them to go back to the inner hall to avoid it, pulled out the sword placed in front of the table, and greeted them directly.

"Mu Lao and slow!" The man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Mu Zheng, "I was entrusted to send you a letter, and I also ask Mu Lao to show me!" ”

Mu Zheng received the letter with a puzzled face, took out the letter and shook it open, and a line of words appeared in his eyes: 'Tonight's second watch, waiting at the west gate of the Forbidden Palace, someone will answer. 'There is no payment.

"Who asked you to come?" Mu Zheng asked angrily.

The man was unhurried, "Mu Lao doesn't know the handwriting on this letter?" ”

Mu Zheng really didn't recognize the word, but he guessed a few points, "Since he has confined people in the Zhaoyang Palace, how can he allow others to approach?" Say, Who are you? ”
