This night was very difficult for Fu Mang, but for Xi Yan on the other side, this night was not much better.

Fu Mang promised to meet him, and this was just the beginning.

Tonight was different from usual, Xi Yan did not rest in the handsome tent, but lay alone on the grassy hillside, pillowing his hands and looking up at the starry sky.

If it weren't for wartime, it would have been a very peaceful scene.

But Xi Yan has always been a person who pays attention to his own feelings, even in wartime, he does not hesitate to call in heavy troops to satisfy his whim-spur ideas.

Thousands of ironclad troops guarded the entire gentle slope. And Xi Yan, wrapped in a loose brocade robe, was lying lazily on the gentle slope.

The moon is already in the middle of the sky, and the light and soft light spreads over the thousands of fields, as if to slightly relax the coagulation brought by the war.

"As the old saying goes, rotten grass is fireflies...... How can the perishable grass fluorescent compete with the bright moon? ”

It was Liu Peiqi who spoke, since returning from the northwest last year, whenever there is a big event, he always stands by Xi Yan's side.

Liu Peiqi originally wanted to compare the rotten grass to the Northern Qin army at this moment, and Haoyue to the Fei army at this moment, but Xi Yan didn't notice the meaning of his words at all.

Liu Qing saw it thoroughly, but the rotten grass ...... also has his own reason for existence. When the moon is in the sky, the end is a common appreciation of Jiuzhou; The rotten grass is a firefly, but it also has a unique style in the subtleties," the corners of Xi Yan's lips rose slightly, but the smile only floated on the surface, "Fang Cai is in the handsome tent, although it is warm and comfortable, but I always feel a little cramped. ”

Liu Peiqi understood that he was a little nervous, he was not a willful person, but at the moment of the great enemy, he did not obediently stay in the tent, but ran to the field to watch the stars, and transferred so many sergeants to stand guard for him...... The more he does this, the more bottomless Xi Yan's heart becomes.

Knowing what he was thinking, Liu Peiqi said: "Make an appointment to see Fu Mang tomorrow morning, and your subordinates should accompany Gongzi to go with him." ”

"No need," Xi Yan retorted lightly, "Since it's good to talk about old things, naturally I only need an old person." You can bring some personal soldiers on the periphery, there are more people...... Maybe Fu Mang didn't want to say. ”

"Yes, that boy still has to be careful, no matter what...... Armor must be worn. ”

"Don't worry," seeing his nervous look, Xi Yan couldn't help but laugh, "I have a sense of proportion, if he dares to come, he must be ready to die, how can he kill me?" Besides, if Fu Mang wants to kill me, what is the use of wearing armor? On the contrary, he seemed timid. ”

Liu Peiqi knew that what he said was reasonable, so he no longer insisted, but only thought silently in his heart, he must pay attention to the periphery, and then arrange more archers in the dark.

On the surface, Xi Yan on this side and Fu Mang on the opposite side are both unfazed, but at this time, in the middle of the Songjian Pass is the Northern Qin army that has been encircled, and on all sides is the Fei army that sharpens the knife, although both sides strictly control the sergeants, and no one comes out to provoke, but there are still many people in the two armies who are very nervous.

No one knows if they will be able to see the sun tomorrow?

This feeling is especially true of the Northern Qin Army.

When the torment reached a certain level, people had already ignored the faint whiteness of the fish belly on the horizon, and the night passed without danger.

Before stepping out of the camp, Fu Mang took one last look at his sharp sword.

He only brought two personal soldiers, and he knew that in the face of a formation of 70,000 people, if Xi Yan wanted to kill him, then even if he brought a thousand elites, it would be the same result.

What's more, Fu Mang had a hunch and was confident that Xi Yan would not kill him.

When he came to the encirclement of the Fei Army, Fu Mang passed through smoothly.

The hill where Xi Yan asked him to meet was not far away, not to mention that Fu Mang came by horse, but with only two pillars of incense, he knew that he had arrived at the place where he met.

From a distance, Fu Mang saw a middle-aged man in armor standing at the bottom of the slope, and he also smelled the smell of barbecue.

"General Fu, it's a long way off." Liu Peiqi greeted him with a smile and arched his hand, "My son-in-law is waiting above, please go up by yourself, these two ...... You don't have to be alongside. ”

As he spoke, Fu Mang had already dismounted, and he looked around vigilantly, except for some personal soldiers who were routinely standing guard, he did not find the archers who were secretly arranged.

Leaving the two soldiers in the distance, Fu Mang did not hesitate, and strode up the hill.

Looking at his back as he strode away, Liu Peiqi still admired from the bottom of his heart...... Although Fu Mang is in the same boat as himself, he is really a famous general.

On the hillock, Xi Yan was waiting calmly, he didn't think about what he should say to him after seeing Fu Mang at the moment, he was just busy with the things at hand without distraction.

The fragrance of roasted pheasants has already spread far away, when Fu Mang came here, he raised his eyes and saw a well-dressed son roasting a whole chicken, and on a flat stone in front of him, there were more than ten seasoning jars and a jar of aged wine, in addition, there were two green jade wine cups.

Sensing that someone was coming, Xi Yan didn't raise his head, but said gently: "Since General Fu is here, please sit down, a light meal is good." ”

Fu Mang was also free and easy, and sat on a low stone as soon as he lifted the hem of his robe.

After another stick of incense, the whole chicken that was still bubbling with oil was put in front of Fu Mang, even if he was as alert as Fu Mang, he couldn't help but move his index finger at this moment.

"Unexpected...... Xi Gongzi marched to fight, and he still brought such a particular cook. ”

Xi Yan did not answer, but filled a glass of wine bottles in front of the two, naturally sat on another stone, and took the lead in taking a sip, Fang asked: "Last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, my family's mansion in Chongdu came to an uninvited guest, I thought it was a gentleman on Liang, but now it seems that the uninvited guest is a general, right?" ”

Fu Mang smiled: "Good eyesight, when you talked to Brother Ling in the front room that night, I hid in his inner room...... But now I realized that it was too late. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's late or not," Xi Yan pursed his thin lips and chuckled, "Before Jincheng that day, I saw it according to the agreement, but the situation at that time was different, and it was inconvenient to identify." General Fu entered the mansion late at night, presumably to find my brother. ”

"So what?" Fu Mang unceremoniously tore off a chicken leg, regardless of whether the food was poisonous or not, raised it to his mouth and chewed it, "Do you think that so many things are the first Brother Ling we found?" ”

"I don't care about this," Xi Yan filled the wine glass in front of the two of them again, and his tone was as light as the breeze as always, "Brother's choice is already a foregone conclusion, and I have no intention of going back to it." ”

"Then you called me...... And for what? ”

"General Fu can't see it?" Xi Yan raised his glass at him, but his tone was a little ridiculous, "Xi is a person who wants to save face, although General Fu's men and horses are besieged by us, but the 80,000 people under your command, I will take a sip...... It's inedible. ”

Fu Mang laughed several times in a row: "Xi Gongzi originally wanted to make peace...... However, my Northern Qin Army ...... It's not a soft persimmon, if you want to pick and pinch it, I'm afraid it's still a little bit of a skill. ”

"General Fu probably forgot that I have arranged the 100,000 Southwest Army in the east......"

Fu Mang stopped talking, but he wasn't too nervous.

"That's it, let's not talk about this," Xi Yan saw Fu Mang fall into deep thought, and changed the topic, "How does General Fu look at this northwest scenery?" ”

"Thousands of miles of land outside Xiajin Pass used to be the ...... of my Northern Qin"

"It was a hundred years ago," Xi Yan retorted lightly, he saw a trace of anger in Fu Mang's eyes, "But the country has changed, isn't General Fu now trapped in the former country of Northern Qin?" ”

"What the hell is Childe trying to say?" Fu Mang didn't seem to have the patience he had just now, and exhaled vigorously, "You don't ask about the intricate relationship between Beiqin and Brother Ling, nor do you want to make peace, what are you going to do when you invite me here?" ”

"It's not that I invited you to come, it's you who want to come," Xi Yan paused, and finally said the purpose of this time, "Of course I can let the Northern Qin army leave, the reason why I do this is ...... It's just a favor for the general. ”

"You don't owe me anything," Fu Mang's tone was cold and hard, blocking Xi Yan's words back, "When I was in front of Jincheng, I was bent on humiliating you, and finally letting you go, it was just a condition set with Brother Ling in advance." ”

"Oh......" Xi Yan replied as if he didn't understand, "Speaking of what happened in front of Jincheng last year, I also want to thank General Fu." Originally...... Emperor Da Zhao once told me, 'If you are too strong and easy to break, and if you are strong, you will be humiliated', I didn't understand it at first, and I couldn't think of the end...... You taught me that. ”

"This is even more thankful," Fu Mang said leisurely, "Although you don't ask, I still have to tell you and tell you...... What role does your beloved brother play in all things? ”

"Please."

"Do you think Brother Ling is really a loyal and patriotic military marquis? If he hadn't provided Da Zhao's northwest military preparation map and provided the details of the city defense of Zhenyuan Pass, do you think my Northern Qin army could come and go freely in Zhenyuan Pass? ”

Xi Yan had already guessed what Fu Mang said, but when he heard these facts with his own ears, Xi Yan still felt that Fu Mang's words were so harsh and even more piercing.

"How do you choose my brother...... I can't control it, besides, isn't Xi also a thief now? ”

"There is a way that the world is impermanent, Xi Gongzi...... Last year, did you ever think that you would lose so much in the Northwest? ”

"Did I lose?" Xi Yan looked at Fu Mang calmly, "Compared to being a courtier, as a prince, you have to support your own army...... No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal. You say that the world is impermanent, so did the general ever think that he would be trapped in a mountain col by me? ”

Fu Mang lowered his eyes silently, Xi Yan still looked at him coldly, but he knew...... Fu Mang is not bad, last year in the northwest, he did lose too much, too much......

On the other side, Fu Mang, he only had one feeling at this time, but it was even more of an illusion, he only felt ...... This tiger, which he released back into the mountains and forests in the past, finally showed his claws to himself.
