Rewind time to five days before Yuxingmo's death.

In the Shangshu Mansion in the middle of the world, Gu Shangshu was restless with a book in his hand.

"Dad, why are you so worried? A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl gently delivered the freshly brewed hot tea to Gu Shangshu.

"The matter of the DPRK and China. Gu Shangshu's face was solemn.

The girl saw that the payment in the compromises was Ximin, and she knew it in her heart. "Could it be that Xi Min played something about Zeyi?"

Gu Shangshu looked at his daughter and nodded, "Xi Min sent two urgent reports. A letter was sent a few days ago and was presented to His Majesty. One arrived this morning, and it was withheld below and delivered to me first. As he spoke, Gu Shangshu shook the piece in his hand.

"This letter contains the exchange of news between me and the leader of Zeyi, and lists several of my major crimes of collaborating with the enemy. I'm afraid that my Gu family's camp in Nanze has been cut off by Ximin's husband. What's even more hateful is that he has already grasped the evidence that we are secretly mining copper mines in Nanze and trading with Zeyi, and if His Majesty sees it, he will not spare my Gu family. ”

Gu Shuling thought thoughtfully, "Fortunately, this letter was not seen by His Majesty." What is written in the note that was presented to His Majesty, and my father knows?"

"Hmph, Your Majesty has already talked about this. Yumin is in trouble in Nanze and asks His Majesty to send troops to support, and makes it clear that he will have another letter in a few days. In this notebook, he never mentioned the matter of me and Nanze, for fear that this concert would be detained and the military plane was mistakenly missed, but he proposed that another notebook had not yet arrived, and if His Majesty did not see another notebook in a few days, he would definitely be suspicious, and he clearly wanted to put me to death!"

Gu Shuling frowned, her external image has always been polite and dignified and intelligent.

"Fortunately, my father has seen this second letter before His Majesty, but I can't stop this time and may not be able to prevent the next time. And how can my father explain the contents of this second letter to His Majesty?"

Gu Shangshu shook his head, "I'm worried about this matter, this book is like a hot potato." But I can't just throw it out, so I have to hold it in my hand first and endure it!"

"Is there anyone else in Beijing in Ximin?" asked Gu Shuling.

"His family has already followed him to Nanze to fight against the Zeyi people, and those who are left behind are only old and weak women and children. ”

Gu Shuling sneered, "If there is no one in Beijing, it means that there is no one in the DPRK, isn't this much easier." ”

Gu Shangshu stroked his beard, "Can you have a high opinion?"

Gu Shuling smiled slightly, "Why doesn't Dad want to capture the old man, since he has explained to His Majesty that there is a second note, then we will present this second letter." He was already in such a difficult situation that he did not know the height of the sky, and that was his wish. ”

Gu Shangshu narrowed his eyes, "That's right, I have no other way." Now I will choose someone to imitate his handwriting and write another note, writing that the person who chooses us will lead the troops to Nanze. ”

Gu Shuling suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Xi Min is so fearless, I'm afraid it's difficult for him to fake, right? I heard that the Xi family has a totem seal and a special seal clay given by His Majesty, and ordinary people can't fake it." ”

"There's such a thing. Gu Shangshu said and tapped his finger at the notes that had been placed on several cases, and there was indeed a simple phoenix-like mark on it.

"This seal is the seal of the Xi family, this ink is pink on the night of the full moon, and on weekdays, it is vermilion and other ink ink. I had prepared this when their family left Kyoto for Nanzawa. As he spoke, he opened the drawer and took out a round carved white jade seal and a box of ink.

"This seal is a copy of the Xi family seal, and the seal clay is also obtained from the palace, and it is the same as that used by the Xi family. ”

Gu Shuling exhaled, "It turns out that my father has long understood Xi Minzhi's personality, and he thought that if he went to Nanze, he would definitely rectify Nanze City and all the industries in the court. So I made preparations early and reproduced the seal of the Xi family. ”

"Hmph, Xi Min. Too strong and solid, upright. Now the war in our neighborhood has gradually stabilized, thanks to his more than ten years of courageous killing of the enemy. But he still didn't understand what it meant to be a master of high merit, and what the emperor of the peaceful world was most afraid of, of course, it was people like them who had led a large army on the battlefield for a long time. So, how do you think I have this box of palace ink?"

Gu Shuling suddenly realized, "What does my father mean is that Your Majesty can't tolerate Xi Min anymore, is this the ink clay that Your Majesty gave you?"

Gu Shangshu nodded, "Not bad." It's just that His Majesty has never said it, nor has he ever expressed any dissatisfaction with Xi Min. But this seal is not only owned by Xi Min, the holy will is like this, am I still afraid that Xi Min will not succeed?"

"That's very good. It is said that there is no rule by inaction. When things come, they have their own way to solve them. And settle down, our Gu family will be safe. Gu Shuling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and bowed deeply to the room in the study.

Gu Shangshu also got up, grabbed the notes on a few cases and approached the candle flame, watching the flames slowly devour Xi Min's secret report. He turned around and took out three sticks of incense from the bookcase, and lit them with the help of the flames jumping on the concerto. Slowly walked into the inner room with Gu Shuling.

There is only one small window in the house, and the innermost wall is covered with a shrine that does not enshrine images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is a two-foot-tall brass woman statue, carved and decorated very delicately, the gauze dance like a bathing wind, about thirty years old, with eyes and a smile at the corner of her mouth. The most special thing is that at the feet of this bronze statue lies a bronze fox the size of her, the hair is delicate and visible, and there are five tails wrapped around the waist of the female bronze statue and dragging one of her arms upward, and the remaining four tails wrap the fox itself.

In front of the shrine, there is an ebony tablet with a golden book "Ancient Ancestor Inspiration Lotus Mother Fairy".

Gu's father and daughter knelt in front of this statue, Gu Shangshu respectfully kowtowed three heads, and inserted three incense sticks into the small incense burner in front of the statue of the lotus mother fairy.

"What did my father ask for just now?" Gu Shuling helped Gu Shangshu to get up.

"Don't worry, I know you're going to practice. I don't talk nonsense to the fairy girl, I just say that I ask the ancestors to bless the Gu family's wishes, and there should be no disasters and ups and downs. There are no vicious and disrespectful schemes. ”

Gu Shuling smiled, "That's good, if the fairy girl knows, she will definitely protect us and make our wishes come true, and it is not in vain that I will chant and practice to the fairy girl here all day long." ”

In the court on the second day, the emperor only felt that it was too much for Xi Min to play the war twice, but in the end, it was only the time interval to discuss the rescue of the generals according to the battle situation at that time. This second letter also does put forward the current urgent military situation, so as to select who is the most suitable person to lead troops to break through and rescue the DPRK and China. The emperor then recommended a man according to the second cantata, and led a strong army to Nanze as quickly as possible.

......

At this moment, in the main hall of the Kunyao Divine Palace, Qianqiu sat in front of the desk as usual, dealing with batches of complicated underworld affairs.

Shi Yexuan stepped into the hall in a small white robe and presented a golden scroll in front of Qianqiu, "King, this is the spirit scroll of Xixing Mo. There is no record of her previous life in the underworld. The only thing that exists is this scroll of the spirit of this world. ”

Qianqiu pinched his forehead and eyebrows, his handsome face was a little tired, and he nodded: "Come to think of it, how can the secrets of the ancients leave traces that can be verified by future generations, and it will inevitably be too insulting to Taiqingtian's strength." ”

Shi Yexuan put the golden scroll on the table in front of Qianqiu, slowly opened it, and spread it out...... It turned out to be a painting of the life of Xi Xing Mo.

Qianqiu's finger pointed to the opening few lines of handwriting: Xi Xingmo, died in the 5,600th year of the Immortal Hongwu......

Qianqiu read and thought, Xingmo's life in this life unfolded in the main hall of Kunyao Divine Palace, the first ten years were just mediocre, most of them followed his father General Ximin to move and settle down with his family, and the family was happy...... Until a few days ago......

......

In the city of Nanze, the soldiers came to the city, and Xi Min wrote several times to request the imperial doctor to come, but was prevaricated by the palace, saying that it was too rude, how could the imperial doctors leave the palace, and Nanze had no medical treatment.

There is really no medical treatment available, because they are in a hot hot area, and the Zeyi people take advantage of the environment to wantonly create poisonous gas to blow into the city, and the people who hear it have headaches and vomit, and the doctors only say that they are the poison of the poisonous insects raised by the Zeyi people, but they can't find a way to detoxify them. Over time, the poisoned person will have diarrhea, eczema on the skin will slowly ulcerate, and the army will lose its ability to fight.

Xi Min and the Zeyi people have not been at war for a long time before they use this poison, this time the Zeyi people are like a shipwreck, and finally use poison gas to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, it seems that the battle has reached a scorching time.

Nanze City was thus besieged everywhere, and the entire city was full of smoke and miasma, and the Zeyi people kept fanning poisonous gas into the city, and they wanted to turn Nanze City into a cemetery without blood.

Today was the tenth day of the second letter of the sent, and Xi Min and the few remaining soldiers had removed their heavy armor, because it was too hot, and they kept soaking cotton cloth in mung bean water and surrounding their mouths and noses to weaken the poison of the gas.

"Daddy, Daddy!" a girl's voice came from the steps of the castle tower, crying and panting.

"Mo'er, why are you here!Go back!" Ximin was a little anxious, and hurriedly took off the cotton cloth from his mouth and nose, soaked it in mung bean water, and covered the face of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who had just run in front of him.

"Grandma, she had a splitting headache and vomited incessantly. What should I do! There is no medicine left!" Her face was covered with mud and sweat, and tears were faintly welling up from her eyes.

Xi Min looked at the chaotic sky in the distance and the countless Zeyi people surrounding the city, as well as the huge wind pipe, rolling up black and thick poisonous smoke and constantly blowing towards Nanze City.

"What about your mother?" Ximin's wife was seven months pregnant.

Xi Xingmo nodded, "It's okay, it's just that I can't move around and I've been lying down." ”

Ximin gritted his teeth, knowing that there were countless traps under the city, but this feeling of sitting and waiting for death and watching his relatives wait for death was really bad. "Soldiers, reinforcements will arrive today! They will surely scatter the Zeyi people on the periphery, and we will rush out of the city and join the reinforcements!" he said, drawing his sword and rushing down the city wall first.

When the soldiers heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted, and there were countless dead and wounded in Nanze City, and the entire city was shrouded in poisonous smoke for several days, like purgatory. They couldn't resist wanting to break out of the city.

Only Ximin knew that there was no sign of reinforcements arriving at all. He had looked around just now, and there was no movement of horses' hooves.
