Under the summer sun, the city in the clouds seems to be plated with a layer of gold paint, and with the emerald green cyan on the plains outside the city, it looks full of vitality. However, the courtyards of all the mansions in the city, including the castle tower, were hung with a white silk, and the entire city was shrouded in a depression.

In the mourning hall, it was Xiao Ying'er, who was already crying, and Xiao Mu and Li Xianru, who seemed to have lost their souls, standing next to the coffin without saying a word.

The generals who followed Xiao Mu were also draped in white cloth and neatly arranged outside the door. Liu Binyuan, Feng Jianbei, and Liu Guanglei stood at the front of this group of people, just in time to see the situation in the mourning hall.

Liu Binyuan looked at Xiao Ying'er distressedly, and had the idea of going in and comforting her to make her happy countless times in his heart, but he himself realized countless times that this was not appropriate, not to mention that he didn't know what to say to pull Xiao Ying'er out of this sadness.

Liu Guanglei suddenly let out a sigh: "I didn't expect Wei Zhuoxi to really dare to make a move against the prince of Chengji Palace, but it pushed the two sides onto the inevitable battlefield." Even with us, we had to wade through the muddy waters. ”

Looking at Xiao Ying'er's extremely distressed Liu Binyuan, he was suddenly unhappy, and the urge to fight for her spontaneously arose, and he said with some sarcasm: "Uncle's words are inappropriate, our relationship with Chengji Wangfu is already an ally, and we have long stood on the opposite side of Wei Zhuoxi." The family had just lost their eldest brother and their beloved son, and it was when they needed the Liu family as an ally the most, but the uncle was here to think that others had affected him. Aren't you still thinking about how to get a little cheaper?"

Liu Guanglei's face was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he was about to scold Liu Bin for being far from big or small, but was interrupted by Feng Jianbei: "The person who sent the coffin to the city gate said that this is what Wei Zhuoxi meant?"

Liu Guanglei couldn't take care of Liu Binyuan, and hurriedly replied: "I didn't say it explicitly, but now in Dongliu City, only Wei Zhuo Xi is the head of the horse, no matter what, he can't have anything to do with it." This Wei Zhuoxi actually went to the East China Sea a few days ago, I don't know what major event made him leave the entire Yunzhou, no wonder Yunzhou fell so easily. It's just that he just came back this time, united with Shajiang City, first slaughtered the Dongyuan Marquis Mansion, and then killed the prince of Chengji to provoke, it seems that he wants to make some big move. ”

"It's because of the big moves that it won't be so eye-catching. Feng Jianbei frowned, as if he was puzzled by Wei Zhuoxi's series of behaviors.

Liu Guanglei didn't dare to question it, and the three of them stood silently at the door. But in a moment, a soldier quickly approached from a distance, panting and breaking into the mourning hall, saying something to Xiao Mu, and then Xiao Mu's chaotic eyes finally had a moment of clarity. He stood up against the wall, only said a few words to Li Xianru and Xiao Ying'er, and staggered out.

Looking at his figure walking out and his haggard and tired face, Liu Binyuan and the three of them had already expected what was happening. Among the three, it was Liu Binyuan who took the first step forward and saluted Xiao Mu: "Lord, Binyuan promises as the son of the Liu family that the Liu family is willing to help the prince!"

Liu Guanglei frowned, but he didn't make any other moves, but took a step forward and made a gesture to Xiao Mu. He already knew that although he was Liu Binyuan's own uncle, only the prince of the north had the real decision-making power here, not to mention that he had no other choice.

Among the three, only Feng Jianbei held the sword and did not move, but everyone else knew that he had already acquiesced if he didn't say anything. At this moment, Feng Jianbei's gaze unconsciously fell on Liu Binyuan, and a gratifying glow flashed in his eyes.

Liu Binyuan has indeed changed a lot, since he studied Fengyang Xueji with Feng Jianbei for more than a month, his physique has obviously strengthened a little, and his muscles are just enough to support the dark robe on his body, not as slender as before, and his clothes are like hanging on a bamboo pole swaying in the wind. However, what Feng Jianbei cared about the most was that he came forward to this matter, since Liu Binyuan came to Benhai City with the mission, in addition to bearing the name of "Zheng Envoy", he was still as free and loose as in the north, and everything was thrown to Liu Guanglei. At this moment, he dared to disobey his uncle's wishes, made a decision as the prince of the northern realm, and resolutely stood by Xiao Mu's side, even if he was Feng Jianbei, it was somewhat unexpected.

Although the composition of this decision based on his own emotional factors may be higher than his consideration for the Liu family, Feng Jianbei admired this kind of rebellious and self-righteous guy.

Xiao Muhun greeted Liu Binyuan and the three of them in a daze, and then nodded and said, "Then the Liu family should come with this king." ”

The men walked together to the gates of Cloudsdale. The soldier who came to report on the road also talked in detail about the scene outside the city with Liu Binyuan and others.

The Desert Wolf Battalion, known as the "First Division of Longyuan", and the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, which ranked only second, have been cast into a steel division, starting from Cheongju and heading to the border of the two states.

"Lord Wang, what do you mean......" Liu Guanglei asked tentatively.

"Fight!" Xiao Mu's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and before Liu Guanglei could finish speaking, the word "war" blurted out.

"Then who does the prince plan to send to fight?" Liu Guanglei seemed to have expected it, and then asked.

Xiao Mu was really stunned by the question, he really didn't have a suitable candidate, and all the effective generals under him were scattered during the Battle of King Qin and the fall of Benhai City, and against such a strong opponent, only Feng Jianbei was enough in the camp. He quickly reacted, this was Liu Guanglei hinting to himself that the Liu family was important to him now.

He finally woke up from his grief and nightmare, and there were still many things in front of him, and if one of them was not careful, maybe there would be a risk of causing trouble.

"This kind of opponent, this king is very interested, Wei Zhuoxi holds the blood debt of the king's two sons, and this king will make him pay for the blood debt. He said lightly: "Then the Liu family, are you willing to lend a hand?"

Liu Guanglei smiled and said: "Where is the prince, just now the prince has already promised, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of our Liu family to regret it at this moment?" I just hope that the prince will remember that at such a time, there is still the Liu family by his side." ”

Xiao Mu was noncommittal, and looked at Feng Jianbei: "What does General Feng think?"

Feng Jianbei shrugged his shoulders and said: "The Yunhai Iron Cavalry has been defeated by my sword, there is no need to worry, the problem lies in this desert wolf camp." This bloodthirsty beast is immeasurably powerful on the battlefield. ”

"In that case, then why don't we avoid its edge, after all, the other side is cavalry, as long as we stick to the city, then the other party may not be able to attack it. Liu Guanglei interjected.

Xiao Mu frowned: "This is a road, but the other party owns the entire rich Qingzhou, and the supply of grain and grass must be richer than that of Yunzhong City." If they besiege us, we will be forced to play a game of chess. ”

"But the alliance between Shajiang City and Yunzhou is not monolithic. Liu Binyuan said suddenly.

The other three all turned to him in unison, and Xiao Mu touched his stubble and asked, "How can you see it?"

Liu Binyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I ...... I guess. However, the Desert Wolf Battalion is bloodthirsty and furious, and it is difficult to control, if I command the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, I will definitely not be willing to march or attack at the same time as the Desert Wolf Battalion, otherwise a bad one will be affected by the out-of-control Desert Wolf Battalion, and we will become the most dangerous people in the city. What's more, the Desert Wolf Battalion has not been dispatched with the whole army, and there is still some strength left, and the Yunhai Iron Cavalry that Wei Zhuoxi has regathered is already all the net worth of the Wei clan now, so it is inevitable that there will be suspicions between them. ”

Xiao Mu's eyes lit up: "Yes! This is one of their weaknesses." After saying that, he fell into deep thought again, as if he was thinking of a way to destroy the enemy. Liu Binyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but Feng Jianbei suddenly pulled Liu Binyuan back, and didn't think to explain to Liu Guanglei and Xiao Mu, as if he had something to explain. Xiao Muwu pondered to himself, and Liu Guanglei didn't dare to ask more, so he climbed the city tower first.

"Does General Feng have any instructions?" Liu Binyuan also seemed to be thinking about the crisis in front of him, and asked a little perfunctorily.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jianbei's face sank: "What do you call me?"

Liu Binyuan was frightened by Feng Jianbei's expression, and hurriedly changed his words: "Master!

Feng Jianbei seemed to change his face, his unhappy and gloomy expression was swept away in an instant, but he showed a faint smile: "How did you know about the alliance between Shajiang City and Yunzhou?"

"Isn't everything that happened in Qingzhou obvious?" Liu Binyuan scratched his head, and said in his heart that this old man was really weird.

"You know what I'm talking about isn't this, you are still tender if you want to lie to me, why didn't I find out that you are so good at judging the situation?" Feng Jianbei looked at Liu Binyuan with an arrow.

Liu Binyuan was stunned, his eyes unconsciously moved away, and said with a dry smile: "Binyuan's ability, the master doesn't know a lot......"

"It's your sister, right?"

Liu Binyuan was almost stunned, and looked at Feng Jianbei with wide eyes, with an incredible look on his face.

"I knew it was that girl, and she was the only one who could keep you secretive from us. But you need to tell you, your sister is really in Shajiang City?"

"Anyway, more than a month or two ago, I received a letter from her mentioning this, telling us to be careful. But I haven't heard from her these days, and I don't know where she is now. ”

Feng Jianbei nodded and walked towards the city tower.

"Then Master, you...... Don't ......" Liu Binyuan smiled all over his face and leaned in front of Feng Jianbei. Feng Jianbei snorted and said, "If you don't tell your father and your uncle, it depends on your performance." ”

"Yes, yes!" Liu Binyuan hurriedly responded, but secretly complained in his heart. I have been learning swordsmanship for more than a month, but I have suffered a lot. Even so, the wind and snow in his hands are still limited.

As the two spoke, they also stepped onto the castle tower. Xiao Mu and Liu Guanglei stood at the head of the city early in the morning, but they both looked ahead with worried faces.

Liu Binyuan and Feng Jianbei looked in the direction of their gaze.

In the verdant plains to the east, a wave of gray had emerged, and the dust that had stirred up almost obscured the original color of the grass. However, from the other direction, there were blue and white cavalry like a sea of clouds, and they quickly slashed across the plain field like sharp knives. The meeting point of two waves rushing from different directions is Cloudsdale.

Xiao Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, he almost gritted his teeth, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on the king's order, prepare to fight!"
