In the following month, the newspapers were sent back to Chongdu one after another. First, Situ Zhu led a group of soldiers to recover Shuiluo, and then Wang Zhaoling led the Ming Ce army to outflank the back road and trapped the allied forces of the Western Regions in the Zhenyuan Pass. flanked back and forth with Situ Zhu's army, constantly encroaching on the besieged enemy ** team.

Once it was discovered that the army in Zhenyuan Pass had a tendency to reinforce, Wang Zhaoling quickly led his troops to withdraw from the Zhenyuan Pass from the path, coming and going freely, and the Western Regions coalition army was bitter.

Late at night, Situ Zhu browsed the military information sent by the scouts sent by Wang Zhaoling, and secretly thought to himself that the Western Regions Alliance Army had been besieged in the pass for more than half a month, and the grain and grass had been exhausted. If this trend continues, even if all the military horses are killed for food, it will only last for three days at most.

"Pass my military orders! Three days later, a general attack will inevitably annihilate the enemy forces in the pass in one fell swoop! While thinking, Situ Zhu's face showed a contemptuous smile, "Twelve years ago, it was clear that everyone put down a rebellion together, but you were the only one. Today I rode my horse against the wind and galloped across the field, but you ...... But he can only be a waste person for the rest of his life! On the day I become a marquis, I don't know how you will feel in your heart. ”

Twelve years have passed in an instant, and Situ Zhu and Xi Luan have already passed their years.

Although Xi Luan lives in a simple house on weekdays, every time Situ Zhu thinks of Xi Luan and the past twelve years ago, the fire of jealousy burns in his heart. Why are Xi Luan and King Liao the heroes of the country? Even Jing Yuan, who died of his crimes, was the official Shangshu 1 because of the peace of mind twelve years ago...... But because the reinforcements came late, they would be criticized by thousands of people.

Therefore, this expedition, Situ Zhu had already made a heavy oath in his heart, and he would be ashamed.

These days, good news is frequent. The army annihilated the enemy forces in the Zhenyuan Pass three days earlier. So far, except for Zhenyuan Pass, Da Zhao has recovered all the lost ground.

Situ Zhu and Wang Zhaoling also joined forces and set up camp outside the Zhenyuan Pass, preparing to take the Zhenyuan Pass in one fell swoop before the Mid-Autumn Festival. As soon as the news came out, there was jubilation in Chongdu City. The emperor praised Huan Guohou's clever calculation in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and the officials led by the Ministry of Rites had already discussed how to accept the tribute.

After hearing about Xi Yan in the Begonia Courtyard, he said coldly: "It's okay if the people are ignorant." The terrible thing is that even the officials of the DPRK and China are arrogant, and Zhenyuan Pass is still in the hands of others, what are you happy about? ”

Xi Yun knew that his son-in-law had been very depressed for days, and it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he only commented on Xi Yan.

One afternoon, Haitang Courtyard had a rare guest.

As soon as he entered the door, Meng Qingye teased: "Big nephew, is it still closed?" It's been a month or two, and it seems that if you don't comply, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this Begonia Courtyard in your life......"

"What are you going to do?" Xi Yan's face was a little displeased, some time ago, under the waves of the Jing clan's sky-breaking case, the splash of chasing the remnants of the Xie clan seemed to be much smaller. But now that the Jing case has long been over, there are more internal guards in brocade uniforms on the streets of Chongdu, and Meng Qingye left An Ruofei alone in the mansion at this time, Xi Yan is really relieved.

"I didn't want to pull out," Meng Qingye saw that there were gradually no people around, and suddenly said with a sad face, "But, but, Ruofei is sick......

"What's going on!?" A trace of panic flashed in Xi Yan's eyes, and he almost grabbed Meng Qingye's collar and said, "Didn't you be good last time?" Then he forced himself to calm down, "What kind of treatment, have you found a doctor?" ”

"I don't dare to find a doctor...... I don't dare to go back to the house to ask, if my father knows about this, he, he will definitely not protect Ruofei......"

"What's wrong with her?"

"I've had a high fever since yesterday, and I—I really can't help it...... It's up to you, but you can't get out......"

Xi Yan only felt that his ten fingers were instantly cold, he knew how dangerous it was to have a high fever without a doctor and medicine, but he was ordered to think about it in the Begonia Courtyard, even if he could go out, he couldn't find a doctor who could be trusted...... And at this moment, An Ruofei's portrait has long been pasted all over the city.

"You go back first, and I'll find a way to heal the sick...... She was there alone, and I couldn't let go and go back. Meng Qingye was almost pushed out of the Begonia Courtyard by Xi Yan.

On the way back to Beiyuan, Meng Qingye lifted the curtain depressedly and looked down the street, but suddenly saw a team of internal guards searching people from house to house with portraits.

Meng Qingye's eyesight was excellent, and with just a glance, he recognized that the person on the portrait was An Ruofei, and his heart suddenly became entangled, and he hurriedly ordered the coachman and the guards, "Hurry up!" Blast everyone who gets in your way! ”

The carriage galloped all the way, frightening pedestrians to avoid it.

When he returned to the other garden, Meng Qingye saw the door open from a distance, obviously someone had broken in.

He was in a panic in his heart, jumped out of the carriage, and rushed into the other garden with an arrow step, seeing that several internal guards were searching for the west courtyard, Meng Qingye shouted from afar, "Bold!" Who allowed you to trespass into your grandfather's private house? ”

Meng Qingye waved his hand, and several guards behind him stepped forward and stopped the guards who were about to push the door. Hearing Meng Qingye's roar, the internal guards who scattered throughout the villa all came to the front yard and surrounded Meng Qingye with knives.

"Boy...... Do you dare to stop the internal guards who are ordered to do things? I think you're tired! ”

"What are you? Dare to talk to me like that! Meng Qingye's face had never been so cold, and he said sharply, "You dare to trespass into the annex of the Yasukuni Mansion?" Grandpa Ben ordered you to get out of here! ”

Before the internal guard could continue to speak, Meng Qingye stretched out his hand and showed a token from his arms, and shouted coldly: "This is the sign of the Yasukuni Mansion, open your dog's eyes!" ”

Seeing that Meng Qingye was not small, the leader of the internal guards hurriedly put the knife into the sheath, knelt on one knee again, and said respectfully: "Little Master Meng forgives his sins!" It is a sin for the inferior to trespass without knowing that this is your private home. But the inferior also came by order! ”

Meng Qingye snorted coldly, "Ordered? Whose life? Is it on the orders of the emperor? The order says that you can force your way in? I ask you, did you find anything? ”

The leader of the internal guard reluctantly lowered his head, and there was an imperceptible fierceness in his eyes.

Meng Qingye's aggressive attitude disgusted him, but he really didn't find anything...... Moreover, the Duke of Yasukuni has quite a prestige in the court, and if he offends this little grandfather, I am afraid that he will not have good fruits to eat.

Thinking of this, the head of the internal guard had no choice but to deny it: "Nothing has been gained in the lower ranks, but only the small courtyard in the west has not been left." I don't know ......."

Hearing that these internal guards still didn't give up, Meng Qingye suddenly became angry again, and said angrily: "Then I'll let you search, do you dare to search?" If you can't find out why, I will definitely tell Chief Huang about today's events. You internal guards, you don't have any rules at all! Especially you! A spineless dog! Get lost! ”

"Little grandfather, ...... you" The head of the internal guard wanted to say something more, the Huang leader in Meng Qingye's mouth was not only the top of himself and others, but also the promotion and cultivation of the Duke of Yasukuni...... If you let Leader Huang know......

The leader of the internal guard wanted to defend a few more words, but when he raised his eyes, he looked at Meng Qingye's burning gaze, thinking of his talented style, he didn't dare to say anything more, and then led people to reluctantly withdraw from Ye Yuan.

The gate of Ye Yuan was closed again, and Meng Qingye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After estimating that the inner guard walked away, Meng Qingye walked quickly to An Ruofei's house.

An Ruofei was already sick and couldn't get out of bed, and there was such a big battle outside, he was already trembling with fright, and his already pale face was full of sweat.

"Qingye...... Good thing you're back. If it's a little later......" Her voice was extremely weak, but her hands were clutching the horns, obviously still in fear.

Meng Qingye also patted his chest gently, "It's okay, it's okay, it's really right for him to drive me back...... Luckily, nothing happened. Don't worry, he said he'll take care of the doctor......"

Speaking of Xi Yan, An Ruofei's gaze instantly became earnest, "Is he okay?" ”

"It's better than you," Meng Qingye nodded, "You better relax and recuperate." ”

Hearing this, An Ruofei relaxed slightly. After this incident, although Neiwei never came to Yeyuan again, Meng Qingye did not dare to leave a step, even if he occasionally exchanged letters with Xi Yan, he relied on Xi Yun to run errands.
