"It's... Admiral Lehok," Su Qing muttered.

"Hmm," Gerry took her hand and walked slowly down the palace path.

The day before yesterday, there was a heavy snowfall, and another layer of snow was pressed in the palace, and there was only the sound of a few small birds chirping, which was slightly quiet.

"Two days later is another festival of sacrifices, and next month is Chinese New Year's Eve." Gerry said, "What do you want to do on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Su Qing looked at Gerry suspiciously: "Lord Rigu said that the king is very busy every year."

Gerry chuckled: "Aren't you too busy to have a holiday?" ”

"Oh," Su Qing said a little embarrassed, "Then let's go together?" ”

Gerry looked at Su Qing helplessly, and deliberately said, "No, I've been alone with Aris."

Su Qing gently scratched Gerry's palm: "I know, you have been with me" The voice carried a coquettish voice that he didn't notice.

After walking like this for a while, Su Qing spoke,

"I want to see fireworks, with you"

"Well, with me," Gerry replied with a smile.

Just walked without a ride, as if the cold winter was not so difficult.

......

Weng Chengguan's winter was a little wet and cold, and Aris stomped his feet for a long time, and Shuanghu came to give him two stitches in his right leg to relieve the pain.

"It's a really troublesome winter," Aris said through gritted teeth.

Shuanghu received acupuncture, and took out a cold-proof tiger fur felt to tie his right leg, "Weng Chengguan is near Qixia Valley, and there is always dampness and cold. You have to soak your feet every day, and if you don't follow the doctor's instructions, I'll leave you out. ”

"Okay, okay, got it, the Great Witch Doctor."

Squeak.

Zhao Er pushed the door in, "Two brothers, what's wrong?" ”

Aris looked over, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "The old cat is sick, don't worry"

"How's the preparation going?" Shuanghu tidied up his things and asked.

Zhao Er hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's all ready." We go around from the east side of Qixia Valley, we will not disturb Fuguan, and we can go directly to Pingchuan. ”

A few days after the two of them arrived at Weng Chengguan, they discussed with Zhao Er for several days before they came up with a countermeasure. You can't go alone, it's dangerous. You must bring a pair of people and go to trade quietly. Even whether Pingchuan recognizes this tiger talisman or not has to be said separately.

Shuanghu said: "Let's act tonight"

"Well, we have to go back before Chinese New Year's Eve." Aris nodded.

Pingchuan is not a pass, it is a military base established by Wei Shu, the princess of the previous dynasty, and people from the previous dynasty can be transferred. The Central Plains has no right to mobilize militarily, and Che has been reconciling in many ways to take over this force. How could it be that the attitude of the lord of Pingchuan was ambiguous, and it has been delayed until today.

It's too unrealistic to take a pair of people to Pingchuan, who is eyeing all over the place, and all kinds of eyeliner are clothed. had to dress up in disguise, pretend to be ordinary people and sneak into the town, and then quietly enter the general's mansion.

"I didn't expect this Pingchuan to be a prosperous place," Aris whispered beside Shuanghu.

It was already dark, but the vendors did not decrease, but became more and more active. The noisy streets are the best cover.

In front of him was the General's Palace, and Aris gestured. This small group of disguised people separated the streets on both sides. Shuanghu nodded, and followed Aris towards the back door of the General's Mansion.

... Knock knock... knock

A knock on the door quietly cut through the originally quiet night of the General's Mansion.

The one who opened the door was an old man with a peaceful face: "Dare to ask?" ”

"Please go and report it, just say that Jin Nian's distant relatives have come over, and I hope to see him," Shuanghu said while taking out the silver money from his pocket and putting it in the old man's hand.

"This..."The old man who opened the door clutched the silver money in his hand, his face tangled, "... Okay, you two wait a minute. ”

"Good," Shuanghu replied with a smile.

It was about a quarter of an hour before the door was opened again.

"Come with me, two." The old man bowed and pointed inside, then turned to lead the way.

The two looked at each other, and then followed the old man's steps.

While walking, I looked at it, and there were no other messy facilities in the house, just the ground paved with stone bricks, and many wooden stakes for martial arts training, and even the lack of green plants was pitiful.

When he entered the living room, he saw the man sitting in the main seat, with a pale face, sitting upright, staring straight at the two of them.

"General Jin Nian, be polite," the two of them said politely.

"Two, polite" Jin Nian looked at the two of them, "sit down first"

The two sat in the guest seats on both sides and were speechless for a while.

Aris glanced at the old servant, Jin Nian made a look, and the old servant retreated in an orderly manner.

"The two of us were entrusted to bring General Jin Nian a thing," Aris began.

Jin Nian's expression did not change, "What is it?" ”

Twin glanced at Aris, who nodded. Shuanghu took out the things in his pocket, Jin Nian only looked at a corner to know what it was, his eyes were full of shock, but he still maintained his body and did not move.

"General, please discern" brought things to his eyes.

Jin Nian's eyes flowed, and his fingers trembled a little, "He... coughed, and coughed before continuing: "Who gave it to you?" ”

Aris said: "The king of the north and the south of the tart is on the grid"

seemed to be stuck in thoughts, and Jin Nian didn't answer again.

"Does the general think this tiger talisman is real or fake?" Shuanghu asked with a smile in his eyes.

After recovering from his senses, he raised his head and looked at Shuanghu, "Old things, I need to identify them well." ”

"I'm not unreasonable," Aris replied calmly, "It's just that time waits for no one."

Jin Nian's face tightened, and his throat rolled, as if he was thinking.

Shuanghu withdrew the tiger talisman, sat back in his place, and said, "I just don't know if this forbidden northern army is under the orders of the bronze tiger talisman, or... What about people?"

"If it's a person, you should also see who it is," Jin Nian replied unhurriedly.

Shuanghu said with a frank expression that knew his chest: "The predecessor of the Forbidden Northern Yuan Army was the Song He Army, which was stationed in Tengtianguan for a long time and was the last line of defense in the capital. The proud weapon of the last old emperor in the Central Plains, it is rumored that the cold ice iron armor is not as good as guarding Song He, and the two thieves of Xiong Huang in the Central Plains never entered the Tengtian Pass, because they were caught by Song Hejun three times, hung upside down on the city wall, and completely lost his face. ”

Shuanghu said it easily, but Jin Nian listened to it like a thorn in his back, and his fists were tightly tightened. Shuanghu looked at him with a smile, and continued: "It's just that after Wei Chang succeeded him, he naturally wanted to eradicate this loyal general. Song Hejun received a holy decree and asked him to secretly go to Weng Chengguan to strangle and sentence the national thief. The 800,000-strong army marched to Wengcheng Pass in three directions, and worked together to encircle and suppress the bandits. Until... The plague broke out in the army, and there were countless casualties, and at this time, the soldiers of Haicheng Pass and Fuguan will stand up and besiege the Song and army and the pass. On the city wall, it was suddenly written, strangle the traitor. Only then did I understand that it was a play made up by the Emperor of the Central Plains, and it was never the rebels who wanted to be annihilated, but the Song Hejun. Song Hejun could not escape this catastrophe. ”

Aris was sipping tea on the other side, listening with relish, and almost clapped his hands.

"This battle is sleepless, and corpses are everywhere. Song Hejun held out for three days and three nights, until a blue-robed woman who came on a fast horse arrived to save the soldiers from fire and water. Princess Wei Shu, who failed to seize power, led her own personal soldiers, and fought her way out and led Song Hejun back home. Retreat to Pingchuan, the original 800,000 army is only 300,000, Wei Shu gave it a new word, classified as his own personal soldiers, cast bronze tiger talisman as the only right to mobilize, that is, the current forbidden northern army. ”

As soon as the voice fell, he fell into silence, and there was no response for a long time.

Aris pounced on the milk and tofu residue on his body and said: "For the general, not afraid of power, but for righteousness." ”

Jin Nian relieved himself and looked at Aris, with hope and long-lasting loneliness in his eyes. The mouth that has been tense all the time, and the mouth is a little dumb: "Without the princess, there would be no current Forbidden Northern Plains Army." The forbidden Northern Plains Army only recognizes one master, not a bronze tiger talisman, but Wei Shu, the princess of the Northern Dynasty. ”

"That's right, Wei Shu is trapped in Nantar now, don't you want to save it?" Twin Ways.

"You trapped her and tried to blackmail me into cooperating with you. Is this the attitude of cooperation? ”

Shuanghu shook his head, and his tone was a little helpless: "It's not you who cooperates with us, it's Wei Shu who made a deal with our king." You and I are in charge of each other, and the decision is not yours or mine. ”

"Could it be that it's just nice to say," Aris said in a snorting tone, "In fact, I am used to being the position of the main general, excluded from the two forces, and I am the king of myself, and I am very free." I don't recognize anything at all. ”

Jin Nian is calm: "It's useless to provoke the generals"

"I'm a witch doctor," Shuangyu adjusted his sitting position, "You don't talk about your symptoms, how can I prescribe the right medicine." ”

After half a ring, Jin Nian seemed to be deflated and said, "This tiger talisman, it's hard to guarantee how you got it." This person just now... What the witch doctor said, not only the princess knows, as long as you ask and piece it together, it is the original appearance of the story. In short, I can't fully trust you, although I am a military general, but I am not reckless, I will not be abducted just by your words, otherwise this Pingchuan would not have been under the influence of others for so many years. ”

“... Hmm" Shuanghu replied: "Reasonable"

"But it's not entirely plausible," Aris continued.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Aris continued: "We came this time to talk to you in advance, and when the time comes, what Wei Shu feeds the horses will come, and you don't know any more four, five or six, delaying the marching schedule." ”

"The princess will come?" Jin Nian subconsciously shouted, his words full of excitement.

"Nature" replied calmly.

Jin Nian stood up, clenched his fists and put them down, and said with some hesitation: "Can I hear this intermediate plan?" ”

"Naturally, no" Aris also stood up, stomped his feet, stretched his arms and said: "Drill the soldiers and horses, obey the command." Don't really go to the battlefield when the time comes, and let people find out that your forbidden Northern Plains Army is a useless paper tiger. ”

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson. This secret negotiation was so quietly that it fell into darkness again.

"Why are you doing this tonight...," Aris asked in a low voice as the two of them were on their way back.

Shuangyu held back a smile and asked with a face that didn't know why, "Why is this so?" ”

"Just... A lot of talk, and... Tsk" Aris scratched his head anxiously, unable to come up with any words to describe it: "It's like Gerry possessed, you know." ”

"Poofhahaha," Shuanghu quickly hid his face and laughed.

Aris bumped him on the shoulder, "Laugh at what! Seriously, I was in a bit of a trance just now. ”

"No" took out a few small stacks of paper from his cuff and handed them to Aris.

Aris didn't know why, so he took the paper and opened it, his eyes widened several times.

"Gerry gave it to me before I left, and I carried it for days, and this thing is much harder to memorize than medicinal herbs." Shuanghu said that he hammered his back and twisted his head slightly.

Aris folded the paper with a look of disgust, and handed it to Shuanghu, "I actually guessed exactly what that guy in Jin Nian would say, tsk..." ”

Shuanghu raised an eyebrow and pursed his lips in agreement.

"Huh!" Aris reacted as he walked and said, "Why did you two ventilate in advance, why don't I have a script?" ”

"Gerry says you're not good at acting, but you're invincible in improvisation. So the two of us will prescribe the right medicine! ”
