"Vicious war...... King Jing still had a relatively good understanding of the situation in the north back then, and after thinking about it for a while, he was terrified: "Could it be that Xie Yu's credit for repelling the 200,000 troops of Dayu and protecting the northern defense line is actually you...... Is he—is he still a soldier? Greedy for merit, did he really not feel blushing? ”

"Repulsion?" Wei Zheng sneered: "Dayu established the country with military force, if it was just repelled for more than ten years, would it be so quiet?" If it weren't for the fact that our Red Flame army would have wiped out their 200,000 imperial main forces with their flesh and blood loyal souls, would there have been peace in the past thirteen years? ”

"But there has never been a ...... over there in Dayu," King Jing only said in a trembling voice, and he already knew it in his heart. Dayu was wiped out, and the main army of 200,000 of course would not take the initiative to report to Liang Ting, "We were not repelled by Xie Yu, we have actually been wiped out by the Red Flame", I am afraid that the Emperor of Dayu will only rejoice and fan the flames after knowing the end of the Red Flame Army in Meiling. If it weren't for the fact that the main force had been lost, it was very likely that this warlike emperor would take the opportunity to order troops to invade the south again. As for Emperor Liang, who was far away in the imperial capital of Jinling, how did he know the true situation in the north, only looking at the reports of Di Shu and the Hanging Mirror Division, coupled with the suspicion and jealousy that had already been deeply imprinted in his heart, so he made the decision to destroy the Great Wall.

"It seems that how we got to the end step by step, most of what we know is false," Lie Zhanying said angrily, "Wei Zheng, you tell His Highness slowly from the beginning, as long as the truth is still fair, one day you can take it back!" ”

Wei Zheng nodded, calmed down his emotions and said, "Initially, our garrison was on the northern line of Ganzhou. At this time, I received an edict from the emperor asking Chiyan to keep the whole army armoured and not move, but I didn't expect the edict to arrive just one day. The battle report from the front followed, and Dayu dispatched 200,000 imperial troops. It has seized Sutai and is approaching Meiling. If we don't move, once the Great Yu Army breaks through Meiling, the next ten states are all plains, and there is no danger to defend. Chiyan has always been responsible for protecting the territory and the people. How can he sit back and watch millions of people face the catastrophe of annihilation, not to mention the urgent military situation, the general will not be affected by the king's life outside, so Lin Shuai sent an urgent envoy to report on the one hand, and ordered the camp to meet the enemy on the other. Later, this move was also a major crime

"Lin Shuai's recital did not arrive in Beijing at all, and it must have been intercepted on the way." King Jing was depressed and closed his eyes hard, "You continue." ”

"We marched all night. Almost at the same time as the Great Chongqing Army, they arrived at Meiling. Your Highness knew that because of the reduction at the beginning of the year, we had only 70,000 troops. He couldn't fight hard, so Lin Shuai ordered General Nie Feng to detour to the Absolute Soul Valley in the near north to meet the flanks. The Akabane battalion stormed Kitaya as a striker. The main force cut off the enemy and attacked it separately. That night, the wind and snow were blowing, and Lord Nie Zhen accompanied the Red Feather Battalion to brave the snow and linoleum fire attack...... In that vicious battle, our 70,000 men were bloodied for three days and three nights, and they tried their last strength to finally cut down the royal army that Dayu was most proud of, and only escaped with some remnants of the defeated generals. Wei Zhengdi's face burst out with pride, but it only dimmed for a moment, "But at that time, we ourselves suffered heavy casualties, and our military strength was in a state of exhaustion, so we had to rest in place." At this time, the young marshal had already sensed that something was wrong, because the Nie Feng Department had never appeared from beginning to end. There is only one cliff between the Valley of the Absolute Soul and the North Valley, although the terrain is difficult and dangerous, but in the name of Nie Feng and General Hurricane, if there is no accident, it will not be so slow and unexpected, so the young marshal ordered me to go to the South Valley to contact the main camp to inquire about the reason. Who knew that I had just arrived, and before I entered the tent, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang's 100,000 soldiers and horses arrived...... "King Jing" snapped, and actually broke off a corner of the hard pear wood kang table, and sawdust fell in a row. Meng Zhi also heard these details for the first time, his heart was agitated, he gritted his teeth and glanced back at Mei Changsu, only to see him sitting in the corner with an expressionless face, his head slightly tilted, not moving at all, as if he had solidified into an inanimate silhouette.

"When we first saw them, we thought they were ...... We thought it was ...... They are reinforcements, ...... "The grief and desolation in Wei Zheng's voice were enough to crush the hardest heart in the world, he raised his head and looked straight at King Jing...... His Highness already knew that Nangu had fallen into the Shura Hell and Kitaya ...... It was burned to a scorched earth. The brothers who survived the fight against the most fierce imperial army in Dayu eventually fell to their own allies. Many people don't understand what happened to them until the moment they died. I rushed to Lin Shuai's side desperately, but he was already seriously injured and dying. His last words were, let us escape, survive, count one by one, I think at that time his heart did not know how cold and painful. Thankfully, he didn't see the smoke rising from the other side of the valley and left...... None of his men and his own soldiers left him, even if they ended up guarding a corpse. But I can't, my lord will be Lin Shu, and I want to rush back to the North Valley, but there are too many butcher knives to kill the ground, and I only rush halfway before I fall. When I woke up, I was saved by my father-in-law......

King Jing's teeth clenched, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but bury his hands in his palms, Meng Zhi also turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and Lie Zhanying was already in tears. Only Mei Changsu still maintained his original posture, looking at the rough stone wall with a faint look.

"Lord Sugu...... How could it be there? After a long time, King Jing took a deep breath, stabilized himself, and asked again.

"There is a rare medicinal herb in Meiling, which is very rare, and at that time, my father-in-law and an old friend came to collect medicine, and encountered such a tragic situation. During the chaos, they couldn't do anything, so they could only disguise themselves and sneak in when Xie Yu finally cleaned up the battlefield and try to save some people out. ”

"Na Nerdor ......"

"Nie Duo was sent by Lin Shuai to check on Nie Feng's situation at that time, and later felt something strange on the way, and escaped with all his might."

King Jing lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally asked again a question he had already asked: "Wei Zheng Beigu...... Are there really no survivors? ”

Wei Zheng avoided his gaze and whispered, "I haven't heard of ......"

Although he had already understood in his heart that there was little hope, after hearing Wei Zheng's answer, Xiao Jingyan still couldn't help but feel heartache. His friend, the friend who has been rolling with him since he was a child, and practicing martial arts together. The friend who is always arrogant and out of the limelight, but in fact the most attentive and considerate friend, is the one who fights hard and holds a gun. The friend who gave his life to him on the battlefield was the friend who laughed and asked him to bring back the pearl when he left. There's really no going back......

The pearl of the South China Sea is still lying cold and lonely in the depths of the bedside suitcase. However, the young general, who was supposed to become its owner, did not even know where his bones were scattered. Thirteen years have passed, and the soul has not settled, and the stigma has not snowed. Even though he is now full of seven beads and full of glory, what is the point?!

"Your Highness, please don't be impatient." Mei Changsu's voice came softly at this time: "This case is determined by His Majesty, and it is very widely implicated, and it is not so easy to turn it over if you want to." His Royal Highness's only plan for now can only temporarily suppress grief and anger. Slowly. As long as the goal is firm and unswerving, step by step to stabilize their strength. But what's the deal? ”

"Yes," Meng Zhi was now a little more stable. Whispered persuasion. "If you want to overturn the case, you must first let Your Majesty admit your mistake. But this mistake is too big. Even if Your Majesty believes it, he may not admit it. What's more, Wei Zheng is now a rebel, whether what he said is effective or not, and whether he has the opportunity to publish these words in the court are all unknown. Your Highness must not venture now. ”

"But...... But......" Lie Zhanying cried, "Can you endure such a big grievance?" Can our soldiers on the bloody battlefield have only such an ending? ”

"This case is not the case of the Red Flame Army's family," Mei Changsu said quietly, "More importantly, there is the blood of the emperor's eldest son in it." If you want Your Majesty to overturn the case, it is tantamount to asking him to agree to leave the stigma of unjust murder and parent-child in the history books of later generations. Don't say that the emperor is a man, who doesn't care about the name behind him? If His Royal Highness King Jing wants to reach the final goal, he must not propose a retrial of the case of Chiyan at this time. ”

"I understand what Mr. Su said." King Jing raised his head, his eyes were red, and his face was as pale as snow, "But I also want to remind Mr. Su that my final purpose is to calm the snow, and this case can be put back for the time being." ”

Mei Changsu looked back at him for a long time, and smiled faintly: "It's Su to remember." ”

"Will Wei Zheng live here with Mr. in the future?"

"Although the news of searching for him has been loosened now, I am still afraid of an accident on the way to send him back to the Medicine King Valley. I have a clean population here, and it is safe to live here

"So it's annoying to you, sir." King Jing turned back to Wei Zheng and said, "It all depends on Mr.'s clever plan to save you this time, and you have to obey Mr.'s instructions if you live here." ”

Wei Zheng immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes!" Wei Zheng must obey Mr. Wei's orders. ”

He replied too quickly and simply, but King Jing was a little surprised. Although Mei Changsu has a life-saving grace for him, it is not so easy for a military general with a strong temperament to say that he only comes from the local dialect.

"There are no rules in our house, General Wei is polite," Mei Changsu smiled and said, "If there is anyone who can't be provoked, that is Doctor Yan, your injuries have not healed yet, and he will probably come to recuperate you, but don't offend him when the time comes, so as not to implicate me with me." ”

"I've seen this old doctor, and he does have momentum," Meng Zhi also said, "It's rare that Mr. Su also has people who are afraid." ”

Lie Zhanying leaned forward and twisted his eyebrows and whispered to Wei Zheng: "Why don't you live in Jingwang's Mansion, there are many old friends, and it is very safe......"

Mei Changsu glanced at it lightly, only frowning slightly, and Lie Zhanying realized that his suggestion was wrong, so he hurriedly took two steps back. However, in this way, King Jing's attention was also attracted to the past, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Zhan Yingsu, Mr. Zhan Yingsu's arrangement, you don't have to say anything at will. ”

"Yes." As a high-ranking general, Lie Zhanying is not blindly reckless, and his mind and insight are naturally there, so he immediately bowed down and apologized immediately: "Zhan Ying, please forgive me." ”

"General Lie, please think more about it in the future, so please think more about it to ensure that it is thorough." Mei Changsu was not polite, and added lightly, and turned sideways and said to King Jing: "Has Your Highness arranged the manpower to stay in Beijing during the spring hunt?" ”

"It's ready. Spring hunting for half a month, in the capital, with the queen's edict as the honor, the king also stayed, and it is really not careless. Mei Changsu sighed lightly and muttered: "Actually, my mind now is the same as Xia Jiang's, hoping that they can move." It's a pity that as far as the situation is concerned, King Yu may not dare to take such a risk. Your Highness should be careful to keep someone to watch it. ”

King Jing nodded, and his expression began to be a little trance. The details of the truth revealed tonight made him angry and sad, as if a boulder had pressed down on his chest, bringing a heavy pain. He originally wanted to support himself and still discuss affairs with Mei Changsu as usual, but he couldn't do it now, at least tonight, he couldn't think about anything else, because his whole head was hot like magma, and he couldn't calm down at all, and couldn't return to his normal state.

"Please go back and rest, Your Highness." There was a faint tiredness in Mei Changsu's voice, and he looked away from King Jing and took a step back at the same time. There was silence in the room, Xiao Jingyan slowly stood up, her eyes lowered, hiding all the emotions in her eyes. He patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder, as if he wanted to say something to him again, but in the end, he didn't say anything, turned around silently, and walked to the stone gate on his side with Lie Zhanying. Meng Zhi originally wanted to stay for a while, but after looking at Mei Changsu's face, he had no choice but to leave behind King Jing.

The stone door closed slowly, blocking out all sounds. Mei Changsu's body shook slightly, and Wei Zheng immediately took a step forward and held him tightly.

"Thank you." The former young marshal moved part of his weight to the arm supported by the lieutenant general, but the fatigue became stronger and stronger, and it was almost difficult to resist: "Let's go, let's go." ”

Wei Zheng blew out the lights in the secret room, and the light in the corridor spilled in, faint and dark, with an old and distant feeling. When Mei Changsu walked to the boundary between light and shadow, he stopped, his eyes fixed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wei Zheng quietly looked at his side face and suddenly said, "Young marshal, I think I can actually tell ......."

The second half of Adjutant Akabane's words were swallowed back by himself, as his young marshal turned his head and glanced at him.

The meaning of that glance was clear.

"Don't mention that kind of thing just now, don't mention it in the future......" After saying this, Mei Changsu retracted his sharp gaze and returned to a tired and confused state, as if the burning eyes just now were just Wei Zheng's illusion for a moment.
