The Huns gathered troops in Jinan City to prepare for the siege of the city in the end or did not hide it, with the urgent report of Jinan Mansion Yin into Chang'an, the early dynasty, this matter was also officially mentioned by the hundred officials.

"I said earlier that the Huns were wolf-like, and it wasn't enough to offend my border, but now they even want to get involved in the inland land. Dare to say wild words and want to slaughter the city, this move is ...... The move is outrageous! ”

"Didn't the Huns say that they want to invite the Great Heavenly Master, and he will follow the Great Heavenly Master wherever he goes," an official said, "Xu really admires the mystical skills of my Han Yin and Yang Division!" ”

Old lady Wang glanced at the official who spoke up, Su Rili is cautious and calm, he snorted: "Don't be stupid, Lord Zhou, do you want to talk to the Huns about the courtesy of a gentleman?" Just let the Great Heavenly Master follow, will his people really obediently collect their troops and leave? It's all here, how can you be willing if you don't take a bite? ”

"What Wang Situ said is extremely true." The empress on the top dragon chair spoke, and her eyes swept to the civil and military officials who were arguing with the court, "Your news is really well-informed, I only received it half an hour ago, I haven't mentioned it yet, but you know better than me." ”

The chaotic court was silent, the empress was sarcastic to everyone, no one could not hear this, although some things were conventional, but after all, it was not in accordance with the rules, thinking of her action of sending someone to pull out Chen Shan's minions at that time, the hundred officials only felt cold, so they even had to move!

Fortunately, after this sarcasm, the empress did not dwell on this matter anymore, and only continued to talk about this matter: "This is not something that can be solved by one person or two people, but the fact that the Huns are surrounding Jinan City itself makes me feel incredible, today I can entangle so many people and horses in a short period of time to surround Jinan City, and tomorrow I can surround Chang'an City, and the Huns can not ignore this matter if you want to ignore it." ”

An official came out and said: "Since the Huns dare to go deep into the hinterland of our Central Plains, what can they do if they let them succeed in Jinan City?" After all, this is the Central Plains, and even if they can occupy one city or two, we will always have enough time to deal with them. In comparison, Chen Shan is the enemy. It's okay to lose one or two cities for the time being, we can always get it back if we solve Chen Shan. ”

"Then according to what Qing said, what should the people do? Do you want to let me ignore the people of Da Chu? The empress snorted, "What is the difference between being captured by Chen Shan and being captured by the Huns?" Not to mention, judging from what the Huns did in the past, burning, killing and looting were far worse than Chen Shan! ”

"Ye Xiuyuan has sent someone to Linlu Pass for help, how many soldiers and horses are there in Linlu Pass now?"

"Fifty thousand horses." This number is not much compared to the number of people left behind at some important passes, but it is not the smallest either.

"Among them are 10,000 elite soldiers." Some people also said that although the number of people in Linlu Pass is not small, but the elite soldiers are not small, and the Huns really want to slaughter Jinan City, it is not that they have the ability to fight.

"Okay." The empress said, "Urgently pass the main general of Linlu Pass and go to Jinan City to meet the enemy." My people must not be tortured and killed by the Huns! ”

……

An early dynasty dispersed, and the old lady Wang stroked his beard and walked behind with the old lady Xie, and suddenly said: "It's quite backbone, better than the old man imagined." ”

Although he didn't name him, Old Lady Xie knew that he was talking about His Majesty, so he thought about it and smiled: "In the end, I am still young, and there are times when I make mistakes." "Your Majesty has indeed done a lot of stupid things before, "This thing is done well today, young man, you still have to give it a chance." "If you still don't change your age, it's really hopeless, for example, the first emperor. It's just that the people who are all dead are not good to always worry about this matter.

"Compared to this, the old man cares more about the news sent back by General Shao." Old lady Wang said, "I guess I will be able to appear in front of Your Majesty at noon today, and I don't know what kind of medicine the Huns sell in the gourd, whether it will be related to the matter of Jinan City." ”

Old lady Xie also knew what he was talking about, and when she heard this, her brows couldn't help but twist: "At this time, the Huns must have other plans if they don't send out their soldiers, maybe it has something to do with Chen Shan." ”

Old lady Wang snorted coldly: "No matter how you and I are here, we can only guess, and it depends on how Jinan will deal with it." ”

……

……

Old General Shao went out to fight, but the Huns did not send troops, as if she expected it, but Wei Yaoqing's face did not have the slightest expected joy, but was even more sad.

"I don't know what the Huns are going to do, but I think there must be a conspiracy in it." Wei Yaoqing said, "It's just that I can't guess what the conspiracy is." ”

Ye Xiuyuan was busy on the side and said, "The lower officials don't know either. ”

"I know you don't know." Wei Yaoqing rolled her eyes and asked him instead, "How did you get back to Linlu Pass?" ”

Ye Xiuyuan replied: "The troops have been ordered to set off, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Linlu Pass, and the main general, General Wang, is coming here with 40,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 elite soldiers." ”

"That's it......" The girl's face was still not a little happy, she supported her chin, and her fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, "How can there be so many soldiers and horses?" ”

Ye Xiuyuan looked at her puzzled: "Isn't it good to have more soldiers and horses?" ”

Wei Yaoqing shook her head: "Of course it's not bad." It's just that I originally thought that the Huns dared to besiege the city at this time, and they must have calculated that there was a shortage of soldiers and horses nearby. To be honest, I originally expected that Linlu Pass would have a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there were no elite soldiers, but I didn't know that he even had 10,000 elite soldiers here, and I didn't expect such a force. ”

The 40,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 elite soldiers, are fully capable of fighting with the Huns, and even if the main general commands properly, he may be able to win a big victory.

"Everyone is good at it and what it's not good at, and things like fighting are not what I'm good at." The girl sighed, and there seemed to be some disappointment in her tone.

Ye Xiuyuan laughed dryly twice and said, "The Great Heavenly Master is already very powerful. "Who can do it everywhere? Compared to the Great Heavenly Master, he won't be much better at it.

"Calculate the time, the people of Linlu Pass will be able to reach Jinan City at noon tomorrow." Ye Xiuyuan stood up and said this, as if relieved, "Jinan City is fine, and the lower officials are relieved to be the parents of a place." ”

Wei Yaoqing nodded, and when she saw that he got up and was about to retreat, she calculated the time in her heart, and suddenly stopped him and asked, "Lord Ye is in a hurry to go to comfort Madame?" ”

Ye Xiuyuan was shocked at first when he heard this, and said straightly, "The Great Heavenly Master really expects things to be like a god", and after praising it, he smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law received the letter, but he only said that he knew, so that the two of me should not abandon the city and flee, and shame him." My father-in-law ignored the arrangements I asked about in the letter. In fact, on weekdays, he rarely says this in front of outsiders, but this time, even the letter to his father-in-law was mentioned by the Great Heavenly Master, and he just received the news of Linlu Pass.

When Wei Yaoqing heard this, she smiled: "Qiao Xiangye has always been like this, he puts others before himself, and he is a loyal person. ”

It sounded like a compliment, but he didn't think so, and the wry smile on his face was even worse: "Neiko once said that when my mother-in-law was here, I often argued with my father-in-law about this, and it was even more so after my mother-in-law left. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, thinking of the way my wife wept when I woke up this morning, and couldn't help but shake my head. You can't say that a person like your father-in-law is wrong, but as someone close to him, you obviously don't like it.

Ye Xiuyuan said that, then arched his hand towards her and retreated.

"Why aren't you upset when you expect that?" Seeing her with a sad look, Pei Zongzhi untied the purse around his waist and put it in her hand. A hint of pain flashed across his face, "That's all, I'm going to buy some in the city later." ”

This reaction succeeded in pleasing her, Wei Yaoqing laughed, pinched a candied fruit from her purse and threw it into her mouth, her mouth was sweet, and she seemed to be in a much better mood: "That's it, if you are loyal, you will be loyal!" It's all at this time, what are you still thinking about? "Qiao Xiangye's illness will get worse and worse, and now he can still hold on to that position, one day, it will reach the point where he can't recognize the people around him, and he will have to retreat from this position at that time.

Thinking of this, there was a sigh again: "Qiao Xiangye has been fighting for so long, and I probably didn't expect that one day he would make himself the right minister because of his illness." The girl sighed with emotion, "It's still the same for Mrs. Ye, and then think about it, he fought hard against my grandfather and the Zhang family back then, and was dismissed." Compared with the two, my grandfather's weight is heavier than that of Mrs. Ye, and I don't get angry when I think so. ”

Pei Zongzhi looked at the helpless look on the girl's face, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, he could probably imagine that if the Zhang family had not suffered an accident and the Heavenly Master was still alive, she would not be able to endure her temper for long, and she was afraid that she would be anxious because of this, and even sighed that "grandfather's age is not worry-free" and the like, if you think about it like this, it seems to be quite interesting. Although the girl will jump in anger because of her grandfather's uneasiness, she is still happy! It's just that these are all assumptions in the end, if the Zhang family didn't have an accident, he might not appear in Chang'an City, let alone have a reason to know her, and if there is no reason, he will not appear around her. So what will happen to his words? Probably because although he lives seriously like an ordinary person every day and strives to be an ordinary person, he always lacks seven emotions and six desires.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but reach out, touched her head, and touched her fine and soft hair, this touch, he couldn't help but stay for a while before withdrawing his hand, and blurted out the words with a bit of comfort: "The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, since the Huns have other purposes, then wait for the moment they poke their heads out, pull them out and beat them." ”

He was greeted by a crisp laugh from the girl.

……

……

A carriage came at a gallop and stopped in front of the Cui family's courtyard.

Cui Jing walked down from the carriage, this temporarily arranged courtyard was the place where he was ordered by the Great Heavenly Master to educate the group of Jianghu warlocks "Law", and he didn't have time to pay attention to the two guards guarding the door with strange faces, he stepped in.

Even though Wang Xu had already prepared for the time when he sent someone to report it, what he saw with his own eyes still made Cui Jing can't help but stop, his face that has always been calm and unfazed is a little more annoyed, and his breathing is also heavy.

The courtyard that you can see is the flowers and plants that are crooked, and the apricot trees planted in the corner are also crooked and pulled out and thrown aside, Cui Jing walked in with a tense face, and when he passed the lake, his face became more and more ugly, and the lotus flowers and lotus seeds that were originally pleasing to the eye were thrown all the way crookedly, and then went forward, it was the guards who were staggering and grinning in pain, and in the innermost temporary school, the noisy sound was coming from inside, and the crying and scolding were mixed in.

Cui Jing walked in and saw Wang Xu sitting on the only intact futon in the hall, surrounded by crooked and torn tables and futons, and the few Dr. Guozijian, who had been invited to teach the law, were crying and scolding loudly around Wang Xu.

"This group of Jianghu people is simply unreasonable, there are only fewer guards today, and as soon as they saw that they could fight, they immediately kicked out the table." Someone pointed to the obvious cracked lines on the wall, "I almost kicked the old man." ”

"These days, whenever we give lectures, they really go in and out of the left ear, and they only rely on the guards to watch, so they can sit in the school hall decently."

"If it weren't for these guards, I'm afraid we would have been beaten!"

Wang Xu couldn't stop nodding, and when he saw Cui Jing coming, he hurriedly called him, and then walked out with him through the crowd.

"But when the guards changed shifts, the people ran away?" Cui Jing sneered, "It's just half a pillar of incense, Wang Xu, tell me what's going on?" ”

Wang Xu laughed twice and said: "I have also taught, they also know that killing people to pay for their lives and instigating murder is to cut off their heads, how much do you want them to know?" Although they are Jianghu people, they are also ordinary people, and they don't want to be admitted to the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department to be officials. ”

Cui Jing glanced at him: "I knew that this matter was not so simple, if there was no one to help, they would not be able to leave." ”

"Look at what your Cui family's courtyard has become? Even if it's because of Linjiang City, don't get along with yourself if you're uncomfortable! Wang Xu unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned, "So my grandfather can't see it, I want to help you and find someone else to vent for you." ”

Cui Jing raised his eyelids: "Who?" ”

"Our Great Heavenly Master!" Wang Xu folded his fan and pointed to the south, "Who do you think they want to teach a lesson right now?" It's not you or me, it's her! ”

Cui Jing was silent. This sentence is not wrong, not to mention what kind of person that girl is, they all know, but it is not easy to mess with. In some ways, it can really teach them a lesson.

"It's just ......" Cui Jing hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Xu, "Jinan is chaotic enough now, why do you want to let people out to make trouble?" ”

"That's what grandfather meant." Wang Xu put away the smile on his face, and said, "It is precisely because the chaos is not enough that we have to add more fire, and when the chaos arrives at home, the clue will come, and the willows and flowers will be bright and bright again." ”

It sounds like that.

Cui Jing raised his eyes: "Isn't it that Wang Situ himself wants to see the excitement?" ”

Wang Xu coughed dryly, and said righteously: "Why do you think so? How could my grandfather be such a person? ”

Cui Jing glanced at him noncommittally and turned to leave.
