Jinglin City, the General's Mansion, there are nearly 100 people here, all of them are generals above Sima level, all looking at Hu Qingyun in the hall, if it weren't for the message from Liangzhou City, they didn't know that the Ranger Pioneer Battalion led by Hu Qingyun was wiped out in the Battle of Yanchongcheng.

Chen Mengde looked at Hu Qingyun with gloomy eyes and was indifferent. Huang Yongli, an old man in the army who was in charge of inspection duties, saw that Hu Qingyun had fought such a big defeat, not to mention, he stood in the hall with his cloak scattered, resolutely did not kneel, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Hu Qingyun, are you guilty? Since the founding of the country, even if I have occasionally lost against the Yunlong barbarians, I have never had such a humiliating defeat.

Hu Qingyun turned a deaf ear, just stood alone, stared at Chen Mengde, who was sitting on the main seat, and said word by word: "Hu just wants to ask the general one sentence, have you received my request for help? Where is the herald Cai Yu?"

Huang Yongli saw that Hu Qingyun ignored him, not only did he not answer the question, but instead questioned the coach Chen Mengde recklessly, he was so bold and reckless, he jumped up angrily, pointed at Hu Qingyun and roared: "Hu Qingyun, why are you annihilated and you alone to escape, are you greedy for life and afraid of death and escaped from the battle, or do you deliberately fornicate with the enemy country and deliberately sabotage my Daqing plan? If you refuse to answer, then I will ask the Qianbei Garrison Department to let the Qing government thoroughly investigate this matter, and if the collaborator is true, I will destroy your ten clans and apologize!"

This is a bit heavy, many people present have sideways, Hu Qingyun is one of the fastest rising generals in recent years, if you really want to ask the Qianbei Garrison Department for this, if Hu Qingyun is convicted, it will inevitably implicate Chen Mengde, without his blue eyes, Hu Qingyun is a Confucian, how can he be promoted from an ordinary ranger to a general who leads an army in a few years?

Chen Mengde saw that the old man was excited, indignant, and knew in his heart that the last time Liangzhou won a great victory, on the reward of meritorious deeds, Huang Yongli thought that the position of lieutenant must be in his nephew's pocket, but he missed out on the issue of personal morality during the evaluation of the chief officer, and Hu Qingyun, who was the chief officer at the time, gave the comment that 'private morality is at a loss, and it is embarrassing to take on a big responsibility'. This is to offend the old man's faction to death, so today's old man jumped to his feet and scolded Hu Qingyun angrily.

"Okay, Huang Lao, it's not too late for Hu Qingyun to finish his words and then convict! Hu Qingyun, let me ask you, you have to answer truthfully!" Chen Mengde signaled to the old man surnamed Huang who was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him that he was not impatient, he wanted to inquire in detail about what happened, after all, such a big thing happened, a battalion of soldiers and horses were all killed, only the main general escaped with his life, no matter what, Hu Qingyun could not escape the blame.

"Hu Qingyun, after your vanguard battalion exchanged news with the defenders of Liangzhou, why did you come into conflict with the defenders of Yanchongcheng? Your vanguard battalion is full of cavalry, how can you be gathered and annihilated, you are a scholar, and you have no power to restrain chickens, how can you escape alone?

Hu Qingyun's memory was pulled to the blood-colored dark night, the rangers carried out round after round of suicidal charges under the leadership of Wei Zhuang, I don't know which round, Hu Qingyun could no longer see Wei Zhuang's figure, but the remaining cavalry did not flinch, even if they knew that they were dead, they still moved forward like moths to a fire. In the middle of the way, it was not that there were people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they wanted to escape secretly while it was dark, but without exception, they were thrown to the front of the galloping horses' hooves and trampled to death.

After that, no one wanted to flee, just carry a gun, urge a horse, and die!

After witnessing the generosity of his sons and daughters who calmly went to death, Hu Qingyun also tried to pick up the heavy cavalry spear and charge with the army, but there were always some cavalrymen with extremely young faces who stopped him, and in their words were: "We are not dead, how dare we let the general be the first!", and then fought bravely one after another, as if the front was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but a place of wine and food.

Hu Qingyun's words surprised everyone present, cultivators are not allowed to participate in the war between the world, this is an iron law, no one dares to disobey for thousands of years, and those who dare to commit crimes, not only individuals, but also the sect will be implicated, and the mainland cultivation sect will punish them.

Most of the practitioners who walk the world have the attitude of traveling, but they will be cautious about anything that may lead to war when it comes to state affairs. Although the leaders of each country who led the troops to defend one side were all great cultivators who took the path of martial arts, they were resolutely forbidden to massacre ordinary soldiers from cultivators above the four realms.

Chen Mengde looked at Hu Qingyun suspiciously, the iron law that cultivators must not interfere in worldly wars, those who have no reason to make a move do not understand, they can kill thousands of cavalry soldiers not far from Jinglin City without letting him know it, the realm is only higher than him, thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Fan Jinni for a long time, is it really as Hu Qingyun said is true? Then this matter is not something that he can solve as a general of Jingbei.

Hu Qingyun looked directly at Chen Mengde, and his voice was firm. "I've answered the general's question, and I ask the general to answer my question!"

Huang Yongli saw that Hu Qingyun was still questioning Chen Mengde about this, and couldn't help but get up and shouted angrily: "The surname Hu, even if what you say is true, as the commander of the first army, the whole thing is also because of your greed for merit, and the four thousand sergeants died because of you, you don't think about your own faults, but want to shirk your responsibility, come here, pull him down and put him in a cell, and wait for the fate!"

Chen Mengde waved his hand to stop the soldiers who rushed up to support Hu Qingyun, looked at Hu Qingyun's angry expression and said with a smile: "Hu Qingyun, I can solemnly tell you that I didn't receive your request for help, and the Jingbei battalion didn't see the messenger named Cai Yu that you said. Whether what you say is true or false, there are some sins that you will not escape as Lord, and as for what you have said, I will go to verify it, and you will not have to go to the cell, but you will take him to your barracks, and no one will let him go without my orders!"

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Chen Mengde looked at the person who delivered the decree with a little surprise, Prince Zhen fell, I heard that the emperor had no intention of political affairs, how could he send someone to Jingbei camp to deliver the decree at this moment, could it be that the battle of Yan Chong reached His Majesty's ears so quickly? Thinking of this, Chen Mengde glanced around and heard that the holy decree had arrived and stood straight, and smiled slightly.

"I heard that Yan Chong worshipped miserably, thousands of soldiers have not rested, I deeply regret it, this is the shame of my Daqing, Zhu Qing must be remembered in his heart, Yunlong cultivators ignore the iron law, harm my Daqing son, I have been given to the Ming School Palace, I believe that I will return Daqing a justice. The fifth brother often mentioned Hu Qingyun, saying that he was the dragon and phoenix among the people, he could be a national soldier, and he was a talent, so he should be used for me, and the defeat of Yanchong was not his fault. Chin!"

The messenger was not an ordinary yellow door, but a scribe in a soap-colored robe. Chen Mengde took the holy decree, looked at Hu Qingyun, who was still ignorant and ignorant on the side, and ordered with a smile: "Zhang Hong, take Brother Qingyun to freshen up first and then come back, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Your Majesty to look like this?"

Then he looked at the scribe who was delivering the edict, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name? The journey is tiring, and I dream of preparing a little wine to wash the dust for Mr., and when Brother Hu finishes grooming, he will go with Mr. all the way, how about it?"

The soap-shirted scribe glanced at the respectful Chen Mengde, and said with a light smile: "The generals and nobles are forgetful, and the cheap name is not enough to worry about, so there is no need to catch the wind and wash the dust, Your Majesty is still waiting for a reply." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Mengde to reply, he walked up to Hu Qingyun in a few steps, looked at Hu Qingyun's current appearance, took Hu Qingyun's hand and chuckled: "Brother Hu, don't come to harm?"

"You, are you Wang Daoquan?" Hu Qingyun saw that this scribe was very familiar with him, and he didn't remember who it was for a while, and after a closer look, he recognized that this person was Wang Daoquan, who had destroyed the Qianhuan Sect in the former Yifan Pavilion, and Tu Xinfan was also implicated and died on the spot, thinking of this, he broke free of his hands and glared angrily at Wang Daoquan.

When Wang Daoquan saw Hu Qingyun's expression, he knew that Hu Qingyun was complaining about himself because of Tu Xinfan's death, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Good memory, the events of that day were indeed inconsiderate by Wang, but the death of the owner of the medical hall was not done by Wang, and Siren has passed away." Your Majesty has appointed Brother Hu to serve in the court, and I hope that Brother Hu will not remember his past suspicions, and you and I will work together to solve problems for Your Majesty!"

"Hu Moujie grass people, I have never seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I am not afraid that I am just a person who deceives my name and steals the world? Hu Mou is only a shallow learner, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obey his life, and I ask Your Majesty to take back his life!" Hu Qingyun held his head high and refused to accept the order.

"I know what Brother Hu's ambitions are in his heart, and he has never met talents, if Brother Hu can be trusted, you might as well follow me, after meeting Your Majesty, Brother Hu will decide how to stay?" Wang Daoquan looked at Hu Qingyun with a smile, just like he looked at himself many years ago.

Hu Qingyun looked at Wang Daoquan seriously for a long time, bowed down and thanked him, Wang Daoquan helped Hu Qingyun and chuckled: "Don't thank me, thank you to Mr. Zhao and Your Majesty, and your pure heart." ”

Wang Daoquan pulled Hu Qingyun and turned around and left, nodding slightly when passing by Chen Mengde. Chen Mengde looked at the two people who had already walked away, and smiled slightly, is this a sparrow jumping on the sycamore to be a phoenix? When Hu Qingyun reported Wang Daoquan's name, he already remembered that he had a relationship with Wang Daoquan in Prince Zhen's mansion in the early years.

Jiangnan County, which has been in Chengping for a hundred years, has recently spread rumors, and it is rumored that Tang Yuan, the seventh son of the Tang family, went to Xun to injure the national teacher Chu Qingqiu, causing him to fall, and the Five Elements Palace was greatly annoyed, and continued to increase troops towards the border between the two countries.

The sea of clouds on the bamboo peak is still the same, and few people will care that the thatched hut in Hantan has changed owners, even if they are discovered by chance, no one cares where a perverse and unreasonable old stubborn man has gone because of what. On the contrary, without the old man's obstacles, Hantan seems to have become a lot warmer because of this.

Hu Chen sat in the Hantan Pavilion, looked at the slightly lonely hut, and clenched the silver-white ring in his hand that was called 'Xiaohua' by Yi Sanqian.
