In the early autumn of August, the so-called sad spring and sad autumn is the season of autumn sorrow. Wei Gong Bo Ji Yu sat alone in the dry room, looking at the dim halo of the soybean oil lamp, and sighed for a long time.

A lamp is like a bean, the quiet room is secluded, and the conversation with the doctor Shijiao in the day emerges in my ears:

"Uncle Jun, this matter is settled. Let Gongzi and lead 20,000 border troops to the north, and level Kui Rong and no end. In this way, he will be sent out of the court, and the prince can take this opportunity to diligently repair the national government, comfort the people, and gradually win the hearts of the courtiers and the people. When the son and the return, the general trend has been decided, and Mrs. Tai can't afford to make any waves? ”

"But," he was a little hesitant at the time: "Chaogefang has gone through the troubles, and the people's hearts are undecided, and although the soldiers have suffered great losses, the grassland is vast and suitable for light cavalry galloping." If Wei and this go, what should be done if the soldiers and horses are lost in vain? ”

"This is exactly what the minister wants." Shi Jiao looked mysterious: "Gongzi went with him, only let him bring 20,000 border troops, if the defeated soldiers returned, the previous achievements of the first battle of Chaoge will be wiped out; If you are lucky enough to win, it will also be a miserable victory, and the country will be lonely and widowed, which is also the fault of the son. Isn't it good for Jun Bo to reap the benefits of fishermen? ”

"It's good," Wei Yu muttered, "It's just that Kui Duoyou sent an envoy to Rongdi, although he is missing, it is always a variable." ”

Shi Jiao said: "Uncle Jun can rest assured, there is news from Guzhu's side." Although the dead man of Tidor was a failure, next to his corpse was found a punctured water bladder, which must have belonged to Kui Duoyou. It was difficult for this man to cross the desert without water, and he must have died of thirst in the sand dunes at this time, and he had become a dry corpse. ”

After speaking, he leaned in and added: "Uncle Jun can't hesitate, hurry up and order Gongzi and go on the expedition, there is a big hat to protect the territory and the people for my defense of the country for decades, I think he will not disobey the hearts of the righteous people, and he will definitely agree." Mrs. Tai is not easy to stop, and Uncle Jun must not miss this opportunity. ”

However, why was he so troubled after hearing the news that Kui Duoyou was very likely to die of thirst in the desert? On the one hand, reason told him that this would greatly help to consolidate the precarious position of the Emperor, and that he should be happy. But why, but not happy at all, but still a little angry and worried? Could it be because of the woman who was expelled from the palace back then?

A sweet aroma like ice and snow in the distant mountains leaked into his nose, and Guan Ji walked to the side with a tray: "Junshang, it's late at night, after using this bowl of soothing soup, go to bed early." You haven't been sleeping much these days. ”

Wei Yu smiled and pulled her to sit down, and said softly: "I'm tired of you, I still work for the widow like this when I have a body." ”

Guan Ji's peach-like cheeks flushed: "This is what a concubine should do." ”

Wei Yu's gaze inadvertently fell on her abdomen, and suddenly "Huh": "Ai Ji should have a body of six or seven months, right?" Why does your belly look so small? Isn't it a matter of insufficient nutrition? ”

Guan Ji's heart suddenly tightened, and instinctively slipped out the lines that had been prepared earlier: "During the time when you went to Haojing, the concubine was worried every day, the food was unpleasant, and she couldn't sleep at night, maybe it was not known if the fetal gas was damaged." ”

"Alas-" Wei Yu sighed: "It's hard for you." Although the widow is thirty-five or sixteen, he has only two daughters and no sons. A grandson and a concubine originally had two sons, but they all died young. If Ai Ji can win a man in one fell swoop this time, the widow will appoint you as a lady in the future. ”

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Guan Ji calmed down, and said with a smile: "The concubine has asked the doctor, and they all say that it is probably a female fetus, and the concubine is incompetent, and she cannot continue to have an heir for the king." ”

"Oh? Is it? Wei Yu felt slightly disappointed, and immediately comforted Guan Ji and said: "It's okay, as long as you give birth, no matter whether you are male or female, you will feel distressed." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the two were in love, Wei Yu had long forgotten that he had a wife. At this moment, in a cold and lonely palace in the northeast of the Wei Palace, Mrs. Wei Bo Zhongzi was tossing and turning on the couch and could not sleep. She simply ordered her maid to light the lamp, and paced around the room in her cloak while talking to her personal maid.

"Are you sure, the doctor said that Guan Ji has a female fetus in her womb?"

"It's true, the slave maid spent several golden cakes, and they all said so." The maid replied categorically.

"Mrs. Tai has been in the palace for many years, and the palace doctors have listened to her, so she must know about it." Zhongzi was still a little confused.

"Exactly," the maid analyzed, "Mrs. Tai must have known that it was a female fetus, so she took care of the slut." If it is a male fetus, when it is born, there will be no more than one obstacle between the son and the competition, and the wife will be difficult to compatible. Madame does not need to be suspicious, there is no doubt that it must be a female fetus. ”

Zhongzi took a long breath, his tone was relieved and slightly sad: "If it is a male fetus, the king will definitely abolish my position in the main room and make that slut his wife." Will there be a safe place for me in this palace at that time? ”

She was originally a princess of the Song Kingdom, and her father was the younger brother of the former Song Gong, so she had no chance of heirship. Unexpectedly, the father-in-law had a lot of means, and he coaxed the Duke of Song to pass on the throne to his younger brother, instead of his son. She became the princess of the Song Kingdom, and she was beautiful for a while. At that time, Ji Yufu, the son of Wei, was widowed, and in order to seek strong support from the Song State, he asked his father to marry the princess. On the day of his wedding, he greeted each other with a hundred horses, ten miles of red makeup, and the scenery was infinite, and the prince Yu also loved himself.

The good times didn't last long, and less than a year after he got married, his father was killed by his cousin, and the position of Duke Song changed hands. He lost the support of his mother's family and became the abandoned son of the Song Kingdom, and then because of the excessive sorrow, he was born prematurely and lost the male fetus that had been formed in his womb. A woman has no mother's family to support and no heirs to rely on, and her husband only looks at her with disgust. Now there is a bewitching Guan Ji who is deeply loved, how long can he keep the position of a lady?

The maid has followed her for many years, how she doesn't know the master's thoughts. Seeing that she was still frowning, she comforted: "Madame, don't be discouraged, according to the maid, whether this fetus is born male or female, if you want the mother to be more expensive than the child, it depends on the meaning of the lady." After all, she is from the Guan family, it is a branch of the surname Ji, and the marriage with the same surname is ominous, although the king is fascinated by beauty, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people in the opposition are not confused. Guan Ji, she is destined not to be the main room. Madame, relax! ”

"You mean, Mrs. Tai, she'll help me?" Zhongzi was a little puzzled: "She hates to pull the monarch down from the position of defending the monarch, how can she really be good for me?" ”

"Madame, she will not be good for you. However, if Ji succeeds, how can the woman take Mrs. Tai in her eyes if she has the support of the king? In my opinion, Mrs. Tai would prefer you to be the lady. Madame might as well walk around with a lot of filial piety, and if necessary, you can also use it for help, right? ”

Zhongzi sighed helplessly: "It's just like this." ”

The edict was issued in a hurry, and before Gongzihe had time to say goodbye to his mother, he hurriedly drove to the north to transfer troops. When Mrs. Tai received the news, she was already powerless. She gritted her teeth hatefully and said, "Okay, you Shijiao, come up with such a poisonous calculation for my mother and son!" You wait, when I fight back, you and Wei Yuding will both die and have no place to be buried! ”

As the saying goes, "If you want to do it, you must cut it down." "There are many tribes on the grassland, and although the Kui slave is almost all betrayed, there are still tribes loyal to him. The first to bear the brunt is the secret branch, because the bad old man who picks at the rope of the king of the secret branch is the ancestor of Kui Nu.

Kui Duoyou had learned that Wei Gongzi and the 20,000 generals leading the army were crusading against the Kui Rong Division, and he planned to take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of Kui Rong was attracted by the Wei army to surprise attack the secret branch in order to cut off the wings and flank support of the Kui Rong Division.

The secret branch Xu had just come back from plundering and brought back a lot of fat sheep and slaves, and the people were thunderous with joy. They sat happily around the campfire, drinking wine and singing. Until the bright moon hung high, they all lay drunk in the grass.

In the quiet of this month's cold breeze, a black horse gently stepped into the enemy camp, and Kui Duoyou carefully stepped over the drunkards, and every wrong step might be wasted. Thanks to this well-trained horse, he didn't wake up a soldier from a secret branch.

When Kui Duoyou walked near the king's tent, he found that there were still a few dutiful guards guarding him. He jumped off the horse and pulled out the Tianyue Sword to look up at Mingyue, and said in his heart: "What a bright moon night, Tianyue Sword, turn him upside down with me!" ”

Kui Tayu walked between the tents like ghosts, infiltrating the guards under the protection of the darkness, and slashing down several people one after another between the lightning and flint. Every guard who was killed was decapitated by a sword from behind, without even screaming. In this way, in a matter of moments, all the guards of the Mycchi King returned to the underworld and became headless ghosts.

After all, the king of Myitky was very old, and he was already drunk after a lot of drinking. He snored and slept in the cowhide quilt, not noticing that there was a river of blood outside the king's tent. In the light of a butter candle, the tent was opened by the tip of the sword, and Kui Duoyou coldly looked at the enemy in front of him, he was a stupid donkey! He rushed in with one lunge and stomped on King Myitky's chest.

King Mizhi woke up from his dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bright black sword poking at his throat, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Kui Duoyou's pale amber eyes staring at him, and said viciously: "I am Kui Duoyou!" ”

King Myitz let out an "ah" and asked in shock, "Are you still alive?" ”

Kui Duoyou heard the sound outside the strings: "What? Who did you hear that I was dead? So, do you know who sent the Assassins in the desert? ”

King Mizhi said flatteringly: "It was Kui Nu who said it, but the dead soldier ------ the dead soldier were sent by Guzhu, and they have nothing to do with me!" ”

"You're both in this group!" Kui Tayu said in hatred, piercing his mouth with a sword, cutting off his tongue, and then cutting off his head with another sword.
