At the foot of Jinshan, the momentum of the righteous army is like a rainbow, and it is ready to fight, and the camp across the river is naturally gloomy.

The three successive defeats have long made the sergeants cowardly in their hearts, and even the generals have been burdened with a heavy burden because of the successive defeats.

Among them, the most resentful is the current queen's brother Dugu Yuanyi.

Dugu Yuanyi is the eldest son of the Dugu family, and when he was young, he was also a frivolous and ignorant man with red sleeves floating all over the city, but since he became a family, he gradually understood his responsibilities, and knew that as a member of the Dugu family, he had to be cautious anytime and anywhere, and he must not let the glory of the Dugu family be damaged because of himself, let alone let the sister of Guiwei Zhonggong suffer the slightest embarrassment.

He has served in the army for more than 20 years, although he is the son of a daughter, but he is also a pioneer, and he has never formed a party for personal gain, and he is a beloved figure in the military camp.

But it was this good man in the eyes of Shangguan and his subordinates who moved his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

On this night, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Dugu Yuanyi's tent was still brightly lit, and several robes who had a fateful friendship gathered together, eating meat in big bowls and drinking wine in large pieces, regardless of each other.

They are all brothers who know their roots, and after a few glasses of spirits, they gradually lose their sense of proportion when they speak.

"Uncle Guo!" "The deputy general surnamed Feng said with a big tongue, "You said that this time there were three consecutive defeats, and the soldiers were defeated, and we went back to the capital, do we have to peel off the skin!"

"This time the defeat is so miserable, just shedding the skin is already considered an ancestral virtue!" said the other unhappily.

Xianbei people immediately won the world, and naturally the rewards and punishments for military merits were also very severe. Great victories are glorious, but great defeats are equally severe.

When Vice General Feng heard this, he also said with his tongue shut: "Yes, don't say that we are in a catastrophe this time, even Uncle Guo, you may have to peel off the skin when you go back!"

"This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Guo! If it weren't for Ren Chengwang's indiscriminate command, how could it be ......" Another lieutenant complained in a low voice, although the defeat in the three battles involved some ghosts and gods, but in the final analysis, it was because of the chaos of Ren Chengwang's command, which caused the army to not be able to look around, and finally defeated.

"But even if that's the case, after all, he is His Majesty's own brother, the youngest son of the Queen Mother, and even the general of Zhenguo can't do anything to him, we, we are all destined to be scapegoats this time!" several people said sourly.

When Dugu Yuanyi heard this, his face became more and more ugly.

But there was a short-sighted saying: "Uncle Guo is also the younger brother of the queen's mother, why hasn't he enjoyed any special treatment!"

Dugu Yuanyi didn't speak, but only drank wine vigorously.

Seeing this, Vice General Feng pushed over a jar of wine and scolded: "Lao Li, if you can't speak, talk less, eat vegetables, and drink!"

Lao Li is a rough man, but he also saw that the door was wrong, so he hurriedly took over the wine jar and said: "This wine is really good, but it's a pity that the chick who doesn't sing is a bit disappointed." ”

When Dugu Yuanyi heard this, he raised his head and said coldly: "It's easy to ask the chick to accompany the wine, a few of you change into light clothes, follow me to the biggest flower building in the city to drink, I'll have a treat!"

If there is such a good thing on weekdays, how can these generals not cheer, but they saw that Dugu Yuanyi's tone was wrong, so naturally they didn't dare to answer, so the air became more and more solemn.

Dugu Yuanyi sighed, grabbed the wine jar, poured himself a big bowl, and said while drinking: "Everyone is their own brother, if you have anything to ask, just ask." Although I Dugu Yuanyi is the emperor's brother-in-law, the armor and robes on my body are earned by my own military merits, and I have not benefited my sister at all. Even, just because I am the emperor's brother-in-law, I have to be a little more cautious than others in everything, for fear of causing trouble and affecting my sister and nephew. ”

Everyone listened to his seriousness, and they all listened silently and quietly.

Dugu Yuanyi took a sip of stuffy wine and scolded: "What ......do I do this cattle and horses for? I believe in Buddhism, and worship the national teacher with a statue! Oh, the national teacher at least helped us pacify the south, but I am ...... It shouldn't be arranged that way. The result...... The national teacher made a contribution to our dynasty, and the emperor felt that his merits were high and the tail was too big to fall, so he abolished the Buddha and worshiped the Tao, and returned ...... Also ......"

The soldiers killed the enemy on the battlefield and lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, although Dugu Yuanyi's words were a little vulgar, but they also resonated.

"Everyone is afraid of death, everyone wants to live forever, but the power of the whole country is useless to change immortality! For the sake of a demon, how many state affairs have been abolished, and the rebels in the south have made trouble, and he actually ...... such a big thing My sister was just openly expressing her dissatisfaction, and he ...... My sister was so angry that she fell ill, and he also strictly forbade the king of the north to visit in Beijing!"

Speaking of this, the corners of Dugu Yuanyi's eyes were already red.

In order to keep the family of the Dugu family, he has been conscientious and cautious over the years, and he does not dare to slack off. Outsiders all look up to Queen Dugu to dominate the harem for three thousand favors, and envy the Dugu clan for accounting for half of the court, where do they know the bitterness behind these glories.

Because he was afraid of being said right and wrong, Dugu Yuanyi has accumulated credit and is only a third-grade general so far, and many of the children of the poor family who were promoted by him are already fourth-grade and fifth-grade officials.

As a result, he paid so much caution, but in exchange for the king's heart, he was unkind!

Don't say that Dugu Yuan is not convinced, even the officials who have complained about Queen Dugu's strength, seeing the current smoky palace, are also upset for them!

"But what if I feel uncomfortable! After all, he is the emperor and the Son of Heaven, even if we are courtiers, we still have to obey the will of the Son of Heaven! Even the most favored princess Chen Guo will marry Mo Qingxiu, who is inferior to a beast, because of His Majesty's temporary dislike!"

Speaking of this, Dugu Yuanyi took the case and scolded: "Isn't the royal family able to support a princess who doesn't want to marry!"

Although according to the rules of the Han family, Princess Chen Guo is a little arrogant, but in the moral standards of the Xianbei people, she is a lovely girl, straightforward and beautiful, and dares to love and hate. The love tragedy between her and the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty made many young girls and teenagers wet with tears. They firmly believed that the princess would spend the rest of her life in their thoughts, but they did not expect-

His Majesty actually gave the princess a marriage to Mo Qingxiu...... This bastard who sells for glory and does countless things that are inferior to beasts!

Fortunately, although the emotions were intense, there were still a few people who remained sober and said carefully: "The king's life is difficult." Uncle Guo, don't think too much. ”

Dugu Yuanyi snorted: "Of course I don't think too much, I just received a message a few days ago." ”

"Message?"

Dugu Yuanyi drank another bowl of wine and said, "The national teacher and the golden immortal fire are about to merge, and the queen's sister hopes that we can do something to help the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

"Ahh

Although they were all a little dissatisfied with Jinshang, everyone was still a little frightened when they heard Dugu Yuanyi suddenly make his words clear.

In silence, I don't know who took the lead, pulled out a knife, stuck it on the table, and said: "This time I have lost the battle repeatedly, and I will have to shed my skin if I don't die after returning to Beijing! It's better to follow Uncle Guo and do a big fight! Anyway, cutting off the head is not a scar the size of a bowl!"

With the leader, the rest of the people also pulled out the meat cleaver, **** table, and swore allegiance to the crown prince.

......

......

A wagon was slowly moving along the intestines of the goats.

The convoy consisted of more than twenty knights and a black carriage.

The knights were fully armoured, half of their faces were covered with protective gear, and the carriage guarded in the center seemed to be afraid of the light, and all the crevices were tightly covered with black cloth, and from time to time the men's groans of pain could be heard from behind the curtains.

Suddenly, the carriage hit a rock, and before it could be bumped, the people in the carriage said impatiently: "What's the matter!"

The stern voice concealed a lack of qi, which showed that this person was too hot and was about to be scorched.

Although the master was a sick man, the knights did not dare to slack off, but hurriedly reined in their horses, returned to the carriage, and said, "I have encountered some stones that block the way." ”

"Is that there?" asked the man in the car impatiently.

"Tell you, it's going to take two hours to arrive!"

"Then don't hurry up!"

The people in the carriage shouted angrily, if it weren't for the fact that their bodies were already strong, they would have rushed out of the carriage and were scolded and whipped.

The people who served him were all cronies who had followed him for several years, and he knew that Captain Mo had become moody since he had suffered an inexplicable loss on the bank of the Yellow River, and his body was getting weaker day by day, and every two days he had to soak his whole body in ice water, and all kinds of supplements were drunk without money, but his body was only getting weaker and weaker.

This time, for some reason, he actually came to Yangzhou with his sick bones, saying that it was the order of the national teacher, and it must be done.

The knights actually knew that the national teacher didn't like him much, just because Huang He was really favored, so the Taiwei became powerful because of this. Along the way, officials were offered ice water to cool down, but unfortunately they were conscientious but could not escape the moody whipping!

Why didn't the fairy on the bank of the Yellow River stab this disgusting person to death!

More than once the knights sneered.

Because the lieutenant could not stand the slightest heat, he rested during the day and walked at night all the way, and the slightest light or heat leaked into the carriage would cause thunder and rage.

It's a pity that slander is slander, their net worth, their wealth and wealth are still tied to him for the time being, and no matter how much anger they have, they have to grit their teeth and bear it.

After a check, the carriage set off again, and the axles rolled over the gravel road in a clear rhythm.

But there are other elements of discord in the night.

Only half a foot away from the driveway, there were several black-clothed people in ambush, among whom was a teenage girl, with cold eyes and two knives in hand, ready to attack.

As she was about to touch, a soft hand gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Master?" she turned her head and shouted in dismay.

Li Yunuan didn't remove her hand, she said: "It's not time to kill him yet." ”

"But—"

Gao Cuiyun was not convinced, she wanted to cut this villain with a thousand knives.

But Li Yunuan's hand on her shoulder never let go, because she couldn't break free from this seemingly gentle but actually Qianjun hand, Gao Cuiyun could only watch the carriage gradually drive out of the attack range, her eyes full of anger and remorse.

"Why!" she groaned in pain.

Li Yunuan said: "Because stabbing him to death is still too cheap." ”

"But you won't even let me stab him to death!" Gao Cuiyun cried aggrievedly.

Li Yunuan said: "You blame me now, but in a few days you will know that my decision is not wrong." ”
