Jin Shixing hurried over under the leadership of the palace maid, and looked at Jin Lie who was dying in disbelief.

"Father!"

He hurriedly hugged the old man.

Jin Lie's face was full of hatred, and he pointed at Xu Nuanyue with a trembling, and his voice was broken: "She...... She ......"

Jin Shixing stared at Xu Nuanyue in disbelief.

The girl's hands and feet were cold.

Jin Lie grabbed Jin Shixing's hand again, "When you wake up, Bei Liang...... Over to you...... I want you, swear with the life of the person you love the most, never betray Beiliang in this life, and swear to defend the territory of Beiliang to the death...... Zheng Zheng Beiliang, I would rather die than give in, and never surrender to any royal family! ”

The old man tried his best to finish this vow.

Jin Shixing's heart was in turmoil.

He glanced at the old man, and then at Xu Nuanyue.

"Jin Shi wake up!" The old man shouted angrily.

It was like thunder.

Jin Shixing burst into tears, and his voice trembled: "I, Jin Shixing, swear by the life of the person I love the most, I will never betray Beiliang in this life, and swear to defend the territory of Beiliang to the death." Zheng Zheng Beiliang, I would rather die than give in, and never surrender to any royal family......"

A satisfied smile tugged at the corner of the old man's mouth.

He was already the first old lion.

What he can do for Bei Liang is to wake up the sleeping lion of Jin Shixing.

The old eyes gradually closed.

He died suddenly.

The dormitory was silent.

Jin Shixing's eyes were blood-red, and he slowly stared at the girl, "Xu Nuanyue." ”

The girl's eyes widened suddenly.

He even knew!

He even knew her identity!

……

The new emperor of Beiliang succeeded to the throne and changed the name to Changwu.

On the third day of his succession, he led 500,000 iron cavalry to the south, intending to invade the Central Plains.

When the news reached Chang'an, the families had very different opinions, and the families dominated by the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Xie Hou Ye Mansion intended to fight, but the vast majority of the families led by the Xue family asked to avoid war and seek peace.

Yuan Sheng didn't care much about the court, and let the family be in power, and in the end, it was naturally the Xue family faction that won.

He simply sent Xue Zhimei to the frontier to negotiate peace.

Because of Xue Xiwen's disfigurement, she was depressed all day long, and Xue Zhimei took her to Liangzhou in order to relieve her boredom.

When the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry took down the Hexi area, the Xue family brothers and sisters happened to arrive in Liangzhou City.

Although after the first month, the weather in Liangzhou is still cold.

The number of people on the long street gradually increased, and they often gathered under the trees and in the tea shops and restaurants to talk about the war.

"It's just a northern barbarian, our Great Qi country is strong, how can we be afraid of that group of barbarians!"

"When the holy decree is delivered, Prince Su will definitely open the city gate to face the battle! Lao Tzu is gearing up, and he can't wait to fight with those barbarians! ”

"But we only have 300,000 troops in Liangzhou, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Holy Lord will send reinforcements?"

They are talking passionately under a persimmon tree.

Su Jiu passed by with a basket of vegetables, stopped and listened to a few sentences, but muttered in his heart.

Most of the families in Chang'an only care about eating, drinking, and enjoying glory and wealth, and they must be unwilling to fight.

If Xiao Tingchen is the emperor, he must gag their mouths, and then drive the expedition himself.

It's just that I don't know what kind of temperament Yuan Sheng has, but he will go to war?

As he pondered, there was a shouting at the end of the long street.

She looked, and a luxurious motorvoy appeared in Liangzhou City.

On the lantern hanging in the carriage, the word "Xue" is clearly written.

It's from the Xue family......

How did they come to Liangzhou?

The leading guards rode on horseback, drove the people through the streets, waved their long whips, and even overturned a few stalls.

Seeing the sincere and frightened faces of the vendors, they seemed to be amused by this, and laughed out loud.

When the carriage passed by, Su Jiu saw that the curtain of the carriage was rolled up, and the girl sitting crookedly inside covered her face with a light veil, her eyes proud.

Even with just those eyes, she recognized that the girl in the car was Xue Xiwen.

She watched the convoy drive towards King Su's mansion.

The little hand carrying the vegetable basket quietly exerted.

The pain of the charcoal fire being stuffed into my mouth seemed to come back to my mind.

She has never been a generous person, and this hatred will never be forgotten in her life!

Xue Xiwen......

Since she came to Liangzhou, since she is far away from Chang'an, does she have a chance to take revenge?

Su Jiu's little face was cold, and he walked towards the small mansion with an expressionless face.

Before she could take a few dozen steps, a big rough palm took the vegetable basket for her.

Xiao Tingchen wore a bellflower blue jacket, with a bright cinnabar color, and crooked eyebrows and eyes, "My sister's face is so terrible, as if I owe you twenty-five or eighty-thousand." ”

"It's not about you......"

Su Jiu muttered.

After speaking, he suddenly frowned, "Didn't you strike iron in the armory?" How did you get out? ”

Although Xiao Tingchen "succeeded in suppressing the bandits" and did not ask those bandits to come out again to plague the past merchants, Yuan Meng did not give him any reward, but sent him to the armory to strike iron.

If it had been placed a year ago, Xiao Tingchen would definitely have made a fuss.

But now Xiao Tingchen has an extremely calm temperament, and he has no complaints about striking iron all day long, as if he has completely precipitated.

Xiao Tingchen carried a vegetable basket in one hand, interlocked his fingers with Su wine in the other, and walked unhurriedly towards the small mansion, "Beiliang has annexed the Hexi area. ”

Su Jiu was stunned.

"Yuan Meng called me to Su Wangfu and told me the news. He asked me what I thought. ”

"What do you say?"

Xiao Tingchen looked at her like an idiot, "Naturally, it's a war." ”

Su Jiu's cheeks were slightly red, "What does King Su mean?" ”

He said that the minister from Chang'an would arrive today and would deliver the holy decree. Whether to go to war or not, you have to listen to the words of Qincha, although he is a feudal official, but he has no right to call the shots when the two countries go to war. ”

Su Jiu hesitated, "But...... If he really intends to put the minister in charge, why should he ask your opinion? ”

"Heh, sister, don't look at Yuan Meng as a reckless man, but he has also been a feudal official for decades, and his brain is flexible. I saw that he was extremely angry at the loss of Hexi, and wanted to send troops to recapture it. But because there was no holy decree to go to war, so the troops did not move.

"If the holy decree brought by the Qin Cha is to avoid war and seek peace, he is afraid that he will die of anger. What should I do, when the time comes, he can only let me Xiao Tingchen lead the troops to fight for him to vent his grievances. Defeat or victory, if Chang'an is held accountable at that time, he can completely put the blame on me, and say that I plotted against the army in Liangzhou. ”

Su Jiu couldn't believe it.

Yuan Meng looked at the tiger's back, clearly the same as her own father, how could the scheming be so deep?

She wondered, "What if he really wants to take advantage of you?" ”

"Of course, it's going to be calculated. Good sister, that's an army of 300,000, and since he borrowed me, isn't it mine? How can there be any reason to return the army that has been borrowed by ability? ”

Su Jiu looked up at him.

Xiao Tingchen smiled like a vicious dog, with a mouthful of white teeth gloomy and scary.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Yuan Meng......
