"The medicine sent by Su Gongzi is really good, and the slave and maid look at Lord Weng's face much better today!" Cai Apple bowed down and carried the small silver stove out, and said happily, "It's really a few happy events coming together, and even the weather has improved, look at how many days are coming." ”

Xiao Yin pulled out the latch of the window and pushed the wooden sash open with a creak. The medicine had been fried in the room for two days, and the curtains of the bed tent were bitter. The sun shone warmly, making Xiao Yin squint for a while. "I'm afraid there will be a big chaos in the Great Zhou, what a happy event." Xiao Yin sighed.

"Why should the lord of Weng worry about others, if it is really those people from the north who go west to the north, mess up the Great Zhou, mess up Chang'an, let's run to the south, go to Qilan and bring people, and then come to snatch the prince out of the world, wouldn't it be better to go home together?" Picking apples said playfully. She tilted her head, flicked her black braids, and followed up in the back room.

When Xiao Yin heard this, he laughed out loud. Turned around and sat down in front of the dressing table, picked up an onyx-inlaid ivory comb in the box, played with it twice, and handed it to Cai Ping: "Do you really think of yourself as a wanton and chic ranger?" Don't say anything about robbing people, it's the one to the south, Zhicheng Mountain is high and far away, and it's not peaceful here at the moment, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to get there. ”

Cai Apple let out an "oh" and carefully combed Xiao Yin's hair. She peeked at Xiao Yin's expression from the mirror, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually, the slave maid thinks that Deng Duhu may just have something delayed, and he will definitely come to Luoyang to pick up the master." ”

Xiao Yin just looked at himself in the bronze mirror. The hair is combed into a bun, and Cai Apple is holding two jade hairpins and gesturing.

"I don't have to, it's good." Xiao Yin got up, picked up the water-red light gauze on the shelf, and walked out of the room.

Although the army of Kulu exaggerated temporarily went west, Huan Shizhi still did not dare to relax in the slightest. The square gate of Luoyang City is closed, the sentry platform is guarded, the four walls of the city wall and even the city, the soldiers are lined up, and they are always patrolling.

The city of Luoyang was besieged for several days, and now the army has withdrawn, and the camp has been uprooted, leaving only a few traces. It was a good time in summer, and the fields and forests outside the city were still angry, and there was no trace of being harassed by the bloodthirsty and warlike Beidi people. I don't know where the group of fierce beasts from Mobei have gone now, and I don't know if the Lintian City there has such good luck to avoid this catastrophe.

On the watchtower in the west of the city, there is a man wearing a green gauze on his head standing behind his back. There was a breeze blowing when he climbed the height, and his feet fluttered, but the man ignored it, just looked at the forest fields outside the city, and sighed for a long time.

"Is Brother Shizhi worried about Jiaozhou?" Xiao Yin gently lifted the front hem of the skirt and also climbed the watchtower.

Huan Shizhi turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yin, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and comforted: "The Holy Lord has always been guarding these embankments. Now that the Wei family is leading the forbidden army between the two capitals, knowing that Beidi is going south, he will definitely send troops to seize the fortress from Cheshire to Jiaozhou as soon as possible. Boda is well versed in the art of war, and he can't think of any omissions. "Boda is the eldest son of Dingguo Gong and General Wei.

"But what's the news?" Xiao Yin was very anxious and worried between his words. She knew that the people of the Wei family were skilled in the art of war, but it always took half a day to lead the forbidden army south. If Deng Yao immediately led those thousands of black-armored guards from Luoshui that day, it would only be a snap of his fingers to arrive. When you think about it this way, how can you not miss it.

Huan Shizhi's brows furrowed slightly, he stared at Xiao Yin for a long time, and his gentle eyes were a little helpless. He no longer looked at Xiao Yin, and took two steps forward with his hands cut: "I probably shouldn't hide it from you." Dongdu, in fact, has lost contact with Chang'an two days ago. Hu Lukua went from the south to abandon Luoyang to the west, delayed for so many days, no matter what, the forbidden army should have been heavily in place in the fortresses, so that the two would not be torn apart by the Mobei thieves. But now it's ...... I don't even understand......"

"From Cheshire to the fortress in Jiaozhou, the terrain is difficult and difficult to attack. If there are thousands of elite soldiers and take it first, will it be possible to choke this choke point? Xiao Yin asked eagerly.

Huan Shizhi turned his head with some doubt in his eyes: "How could you think of this?" ”

"Ah," Xiao Yin's cheeks flushed a little with anxiety, and his heart was even more panicked, "When I lived in the Prince's Mansion before, I also read a little bit of the military book, so I was blind to it." ”

"In this way," Huan Shizhi's words softened again, "If it is a strategic guard, a few thousand elite soldiers are indeed enough." However, between the two capitals, no army was closer than Berda to seize such an opportunity. ”

"Then if I tell you now, I'm afraid that there are thousands of elite soldiers like this, who cut this throat before General Wei, what should I do?"

"If that's the case, I have nothing to do but wait and watch. Maybe it's the turmoil of the mountains and rivers, or maybe it's the burning of jade. Huan Shizhi turned around and walked over to Xiao Yin, "You really know something, don't you?" From the very beginning, you said that Hu Lukua probably didn't think about going into Luoyang to plunder, and I felt that you knew something. ”

Xiao Yin had never seen Huan Shizhi look like this, and he was stunned for a while. The wind was strong on the watchtower, and the wind was blowing so that Huan Shizhi's head hung down and went straight forward, flicking and teasing his serious and tense face. Xiao Yin stretched his eyebrows and smiled: "Before, it was just me who was suspicious. Since there is no way to change anything now, Brother Shizhi doesn't have to ask me anymore. ”

Xiao Yin looked at Huan Shizhi, only to see that he was stunned when he heard the words, his nervous face slowly relaxed, a helpless bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned his back and looked under the watchtower.

"Tom-tom-"

There was a rush of footsteps, and Huan Shizhi's lieutenant ran up to the watchtower.

"Report to your lord, the spies sent out before are back," the deputy general's face couldn't hide the joy, "Your Excellency expected it well, Jiaozhou Zhang Lan reversed when he learned that Hu Lukua was going south, but fortunately, General Wei sent troops south and had already controlled the fortresses along the line." In addition, General Murong in the north advanced eastward, curbing Kulukua's lair, and the thieves were defeated, just around the corner. ”

"If that's the case, then why is it difficult to get news for days?" Xiao Yin asked.

"It was this Kulukua that although the army retreated to the west, it still set up small ambushes in many places on the periphery of the eastern capital, so the entry and exit were blocked. But don't worry, this old horseman won't last long! The adjutant replied loudly.

"General Murong," Huan Shizhi thought thoughtfully, "but Murong Duo?" ”

"It's the general of Nandi. However, it is also thanks to his familiarity with the terrain and terroir of Mobei that it is so smooth. This General Murong can be regarded as a great achievement this time......"

The adjutant general's face was full of joy. It's not worth rejoicing, after all, the situation is under control, and Xiao Yin seems to be relieved. But at the moment, she was still confused: since the forbidden army had time to go south, it meant that Deng Yao did not seize the fortress. Have you wronged him these days?

Luoyang has been in Luoyang for many days, where is he? She looked out from the high platform of the watchtower.

All you can see is the wind and willows.
