After nightfall, the wind and snow were much heavier, and the exile party entered the pass of the Red Mountain Horse Road, and the soldiers set up camp tents and lit bonfires.

"I saw you tossing and turning the day after tomorrow today." One soldier added firewood to the campfire, "The ranks stopped, and the captain summoned me for questioning." ”

"It's Zhen Yi's traitor's scumbag, look at it." The black bear flicked his horsewhip and "whipped a few times." ”

"That girl is only twelve, and she can be told not to make trouble before leaving." The soldier glared at him, "You got kicked in the head by a donkey?" ”

The black bear turned his head and saw that the soldier looked displeased, so he had to swallow his saliva.

He snorted a cold breath and said with a big grin: "Is it possible for a traitor's heir to be offered as a treasure?" ”

"You know what?" The soldier disdained him, "Zhen is the founding father, who has guarded the Manhong Pass all his life, Zhen Yi was recalled to Chongdu a few years ago, and he didn't even bring a guard with him, and he was beheaded by the emperor." The 100,000 soldiers in Biansai swallowed this vicious spirit of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and their hearts were still towards Zhen Yi. ”

The black bear was startled when he heard this, sat up abruptly and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"What do you mean? Hum. The soldier put his hands on the bonfire to keep warm, "The captain recently received a letter, we will stay for a while when we go to the border fortress, and we will not return to Chongdu in the short term." If Zhen Yi's only daughter has any problems, the group of veterans will definitely tell us to go around without eating! ”

The black bear was shocked: "What? Don't go back to Chongdu? We are the Forbidden Army, what are we doing in that hellish place? ”

"I think the new army in the west of our city is muddy and can't support the wall. The battalion is spreading that they should stay in the border to train the soldiers. The soldier took the baked helmet and put it on, tightening the steel knife at his waist, "I'm on duty tonight, you stay away from that girl, she is now our talisman." When we get to Biansai, we are the maids who accompany the marriage, and we have to live according to the eyes of others. ”

After the soldier finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.

The black bear sat alone in the tent, scratching the back of his head and thinking.

The forbidden army in the west of the city was established by Sikong in the early years by writing a collegiate letter when the Son of Heaven performed the crown ceremony, and was subordinate to the city defense of the forbidden army, not under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei, and only under the order of the Son of Heaven. Discipline has always been lax, and it is an idle errand to eat military salaries, and the black bear also takes a fancy to this point so that he entrusts people to enter the establishment.

In the desert, the wind and sand stretch for thousands of miles to fight all day long, isn't training troops playing with the desert outsiders?

The thought of this knot made him shudder. I thought to myself that this is not good, he has saved some money speculatively over the years, and he has not married a daughter-in-law, how can he stay in the ghost place where the birds don't.

The more the black bear thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a spirit got up, patted his head and picked up the whip, and cautiously peeked out of the curtain.

The snow is heavy at night, as long as you ride a horse and run in the middle of the night, you can get to Wangzhou, the red mountain horse road in front is about to come to the end, this is the Daizhou region, the red pass is close in front of you, and the team will have no time to take care of it when they enter the pass.

The black bear gritted his teeth and wanted to get on his horse and escape.

But on second thought, he was a soldier with military status. If Chongdu received the report, he would be arrested and beheaded directly when he went back. There are only three military disciplines, and all of them are head-off things.

He scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.

But at this moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the reason why he cared so much about Zhen Kexiao was just because she was Zhen Yi's only daughter. And Bian Sai is loyal to Zhen Yi, if this little girl dies, won't the team have to turn back to Chongdu on the spot?

He slapped his head and lifted the curtain.

A fierce man plunged into the night.

……

There are many tents in the mountain passes, and the prisoners snuggle up to each other to keep warm on snowy nights, but they still can't withstand the cold wind.

The old man and the young man curled up beside the mountain wall to keep warm, Yuan Ji lay on his side and was unconscious, and Zhen Kexiao sat on the side.

"I'm watching the door in the antechamber of the palace, and I often see you." The young man crossed his arms, "You are Mr. Bookkeeper, Shi Danxin." ”

"Your name is Ye Hongfang, the front door guard." Shi Danxin smiled at him, "In the fifth year of Zhongyong, you are the captain of the Biansai scout, and you will lead eight people out of the fortress to patrol. ”

Ye Hong's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer and asked, "How does Mr. know?" Have you also entered the Red Pass? ”

Shi Danxin's smile was a little thicker, and he said, "I also drank wine on the city wall." ”

Shi Danxin's body was filled with a rotten stench, which made people want to vomit, but Ye Hongfang didn't care.

"When the general came out of the right court, he invited a strategist to confuse the outer court and the left court in order to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf." Ye Hongfang looked excited, "Is that person Mr." ”

The old man took out a frozen steamed bun from his belt, took a bite and chewed it slowly: "The strategist is not counted, but there is only one poor and sour show." When I was young, I was blue-eyed by the local academy gentleman, and I was recommended to be a 'clerk' in the 'Cha Lian'. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the steamed bun and sighed.

"The water in this Chongdu is deep, there is a hand in the sky to cover it, and the students of the poor family study hard and are not powerful, which has worn out half of my life."

"Mr. said jokingly, when the Red Pass was full of 100,000 soldiers, the soldiers were full of food, but they were constrained by the big boss and did not get out of the pass. Ye Hong looked at the fire rising in the camp tent in the distance, "General Zhen has a good plan and led 50,000 iron horsemen out of the pass to attack the right court, and it was Mr. who sang a song for Kyushu 'Night Sand Song'." ”

The camp tent in front of him suddenly burst into flames, and the yellowed lights seemed to be burning in Shi Dan's eyes.

"The yellow sand is thousands of miles, the armor is like the sea, and the sword soldiers hunt and hunt the waning moon. The lyrics made by Yanzhou singer Le Wushuang are sung well. Shi Danxin laughed first and then coughed, his neck was covered by shadows so that people couldn't see clearly, "The soul of the soldier is gone." This title is a perfect match for General Zhen! It's a pity that the martial arts are full of blood, and they can't resist the pen of the literati. ”

Shi Danxin looked up at the moon, the snowflakes fell on his beard, he raised his hand and twisted it, cold and refreshing.

In the fifth year of Zhongyong, he climbed the head of the Red Pass in March of fireworks and drank drunk all night. Looking at the majestic ironclad horse stepping on the wild sand, the beacon fire stretches for thousands of miles, the maple leaves on the wall fall obliquely and flutter, and the ground is bright red.

Looking back suddenly, it was like yesterday.

The past was scattered with the wind, and only then did he frown, but he was in his heart.

"General Zhen is not treasonous." Shi Danxin lowered his head, his eyes showing pathos, "I hurt him." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, and the raindrops fell with the snow.

Ye Hongfang was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, the entire Zhen Wangfu knows that it is Dasikong who wants to frame Zhongliang, what does Mr. have to do with it?" ”

Da Sikong Pang Boyi participated in the performance, accusing Zhen Yi of fornicating with foreign countries and plotting against him. Chongdu occasionally chatted, saying that in this world, the surname is Pang, not Liu.

Shi Dan smiled in his heart: "That year, the foreign invaders went south to rob grain in the winter of the previous year, and were repelled by General Zhen. After the beginning of spring, I drank with the merchants who came and went outside the Saiwai to get out the news, and the foreign government was in a hurry. I made a plan to let people pretend to be outsiders in the left court, robbed the cattle and sheep in the atrium, and then sent people to pretend to be outside the atrium to spread the news in the left court, and the atrium intended to send people to the left court to buy food, and then caused the two sides to dislike each other. ”

"That's exactly what it is, drive the tiger and devour the wolf!" Ye Hongfang slapped his thigh excitedly, "At that time, if you send troops to the outside world, it will be a great opportunity." ”

Shi Dan raised his eyes with a straight face and said, "I strongly advise the general to ask for a letter to Captain Yu, send troops to annihilate the foreign invaders, and never suffer in one fell swoop." The lieutenant also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"I know that." Ye Hong put his head down, "The Taiwei urged the emperor, and almost forced out an edict." The entire side plug said that Lord Taiwei is a character, and even today's saint has to give three points of thin noodles! ”

Shi Dan's heart frowned, and he shook his head weakly: "Wrong, wrong." ”

Ye Hong paused and asked hesitantly, "Sir, what's wrong?" ”

"The lieutenant replied to the letter, but there were two letters, in order, the first one was to go out of the fortress to kill the enemy." Shi Danxin pinched the steamed bun and exerted his strength slightly, staring at the cold voice in his eyes, "The latter letter is to prevent General Zhen from going out to annihilate the enemy!" ”

Boom, thunder!

The rainstorm came suddenly, and the rain flowed down the falling icicles, hitting Ye Hongfang's frightened face!

And behind the two of them, those dull eyes suddenly opened, looking at Shi Danxin in the rain!

"Taiwei is a general, the fourth ancestor and the third duke, loyal and loyal! Biansai has been fighting for many years, and Lord Taiwei has recruited Kyushu soldiers and horses to send here every year, and the bones of countless people in Zheng Guo are buried in the sand outside the Manhong Pass, and the blood is stained with red sand! Ye Hongfang's expression was solemn, "Taiwei knows this very well. The two letters are attacked and defended, and one must be fake! ”

"Captain Ye." The rainstorm wet the prisoner's clothes against his craggy back, and Shi Danxin's raised eyes were cold, "The two letters are true, and I was the one who received the military report at that time." But...... I hid the letter that was guarding the border and handed it to the general. ”

Ye Hongfang's face changed, and he said in surprise: "Both are true?" Is there a seal on the letter? ”

Shi Danxin nodded heavily: "The handwriting is all from the hand of the Taiwei, and the seal is not fake." ”

Ye Hong got up and said excitedly: "Impossible, what I waited for back then was the order to go out." The two letters were attacked and defended, and the general must have checked them! ”

"The general didn't check!" Shi Danxin stood up, and the cold wind blew the pale hair to reveal desolation, "Just because he believes in me, and I ...... Harboring selfishness. ”

Rumble!

The thunder fell suddenly, exploding a dazzling thunderbolt, and Shi Danxin's figure seemed to rise to the sky!

Ye Hongfang's eyes widened, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Why does Mr. want to collect letters?" ”

"I was originally a student of Daizhou, and two brothers in my family both enlisted in the army and died under the knife of the foreign cole. I have made a decision since my brother's grave that I will kill all my foreign criminals in this life. When the Red Pass soldiers were abundant, I saw a God-given opportunity, so I strongly advised the general to write to the captain Yu to ask for orders to go out of the customs for a battle! Snow water poured on Shi Danxin's shoulder, revealing the rotten wounds of the cold bones, "I hate the waikou!" ”

Ye Hong said with difficulty: "Sir, General Zhen is a military advisor to Mr. to make a living for the soldiers, how can Mr. trespass?!" ”

The faint light of fire in the camp tent appeared on Shi Danxin's side face, showing a face full of guilt.

"It's my mistake, I made a mistake in admonishing and asking for a war out of the fortress, the second mistake was to resentment in my heart and secretly hid letters, and the third mistake drove the foreign invaders to dislike each other, and I knelt down and begged the general to go out of the fortress to destroy the Kou is the fourth mistake! I, Shi Danxin, have made a big mistake in this life!! ”

Shi Dan raised his arms to the sky, and the chains hung down like white silk tightening his neck.

He cried out in mourny!

"The general went out of Saima and stepped on the desert, a big mistake has been made, and the good news spread all over Kyushu. The more the people praise the general, the more they are suspicious of high merit! Sikong took this as the theme and brought hundreds of officials from Shangshutai to participate in the performance, and bewitched the holy edict to order the general to return to the capital alone and die outside the Golden Palace! It was I who pushed the general to the top of the sky step by step and achieved a thousand years of fame! It was also me who caused him to fall off a cliff and exile the entire Zhen family. It's all my fault! I'm ashamed of the general, I'm the murderer!! ”

Thunderstorms, tremors in the sky!

The lightning flickered, illuminating Ye Hongfang's face flickering.

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Those two letters, could they be commonplace?" ”

"It's all from the hands of the Captain. The old man figured it out along the way, and the letter went to the post station into Chongdu, and he must have been given the news. Pang Boyi has won the trust of the saint, and with an edict, how dare the captain disobey the minister? ! The order to go out is for the public, and the order is for private purposes, and the captain wants the general to protect himself, but I, I ......"

Shi Dan was in a trance, and he suddenly clenched his fists to cover his lips and coughed heavily.

"For the sake of fame and fortune, you keep your letters privately. Killed the general. ”

The voice was cold, like an ethereal voice in the silence of a rainy night, and the two of them turned around together to find Zhen Kexiao standing behind him with pursed lips.

The mountain wall was like a curtain of rain, and she stared at Shi Danxin through the heavy rain: "You are a sinner, you have harmed my father and the entire Zhen family." ”

"Not bad...... Shi Dan looked at Zhen Kexiao in a daze, he knelt down and begged, "Miss, the old man's sin is unforgivable, please Miss kill the old man to comfort the general's spirit in the sky!" ”

The cold took away the blood on Zhen Kexiao's face, his shoulders shrugged, and tears flowed silently.

"It's not just you." Zhen Kexiao's eyes were empty, "Taiwei, Da Sikong, Shangshutai hundred officials, the world." The murderer of my father is the whole Zheng Guo. ”

Ye Hongfang hurriedly said: "Miss, Mr. also secretly hid the letters in order to kill the foreign Kou Xue hatred, this is the ...... the hearts of the Biansai soldiers."

"What do you want? My twelve-year-old girl knows that Sikong covers the sky with one hand, and the lord of Zheng Guo is greedy for a cup of indulgence. Why should such a country be saved? ”

Zhen Kexiao walked into the rainy night.

Immediately, she looked back at Yuanji, who had just woken up, and her face seemed to be smiling.

"Yuanji, kill him."
