Hearing this bad news, Rao is Pei Yao was able to hold on, and he immediately felt like falling into an ice cellar, and his whole body stiffened.

The person who sent the letter informed that Qin Guogong led his troops to meet the enemy for five days, and finally accidentally fell into the enemy's ambush, in order to protect his young son Huo Mingxuan, he desperately rushed to kill and broke through a bloody road, so that Huo Mingxuan could escape, and he himself tried his best to kill until the last moment, and was beheaded by the enemy general.

The enemy army was despicable, and the body of Qin Guogong was erected high with a cross, standing in front of the army, showing off his might.

Huo Mingxu, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, saw that his father was humiliated, and he became angry and led his troops out of the city to meet the battle.

He was good at defending the city and not good at attacking, but this time he was provoked, and he was simply red-eyed.

When he tried his best to bring Qin Guogong's body back, he was hit by nine arrows in his whole body, like a hedgehog.

Fortunately, he was wearing the golden silk soft armor handed down by the ancestors of the Duke of Qin, and the injury was not serious, and he barely saved half his life.

Now there are four fathers and sons of the Huo family in the Duke of Qin, the father was killed, the eldest son was seriously injured and comatose, and the second son was seriously injured if he lost an arm, and he was recuperating in Beijing, but the youngest son Huo Mingxuan was left, and he was still supported in northern Xinjiang.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old grew up overnight, handled military and political affairs, and was sophisticated and calm.

But in the end, Huo Mingxuan is young and cannot become the commander at once, so the soldiers who sent the letter rushed back, and they still had to let Pei Yao set a new person in charge to take charge of the army.

Now the oldest in the Northern Xinjiang Army is General Zhang, who was sent from Kyoto.

Naturally, he was ordered to be the new coach, but because the Huo family had been in northern Xinjiang for a long time and knew the situation there better, they couldn't completely ignore their opinions and existence, so Pei Yao also deliberately wrote that Huo Mingxuan was the deputy marshal and discussed the military and politics together.

Before the change, Huo Mingxuan was young, so he naturally couldn't convince the public.

But now that the war has been going on for so long, he has already made a name for himself in the army and established his prestige, and everyone is convinced.

Of course, there are also those who are not convinced, such as Yang Chengyu.

Therefore, when the holy decree in Kyoto was sent to the barracks, Yang Chengyu nakedly provoked Huo Mingxuan.

"In the end, it is Huo Sangongzi's fate, stepping on the flesh and blood of his father and two brothers, he became the deputy commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army at such a young age, and others really can't envy him."

"What do you mean!"

Song Shuyan couldn't suppress his temper and immediately stood up.

Huo Mingxuan grabbed him, dragged the person to sit down, and immediately swept towards the opposite side with the killing intent in his eyes.

"The upbringing of Nanning Houfu is to let the son insult the martyrs' ancestors in the army."

"The heroes who died on the battlefield can naturally sing and cry, but what I laugh at is just a coward who escaped from the battlefield and disregarded his father's life and death."

Yang Chengyu hooked his lips and sneered, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said deliberately.

"Huo Sangongzi, I heard that your mount is a sweaty and bloody horse specially selected by Qin Guogong for you, sure enough, this horse lives up to expectations, when it breaks through and escapes, it runs the fastest, so many soldiers are besieged, but only one of you escapes."

The provocation word by word made Huo Mingxuan's clenched fists turn white, and his eyes were cold and deep, like a bloodthirsty lone wolf in the desert.

He was furious.

But Yang Chengyu was especially not enough, and continued to add.

"But the so-called catastrophe will not die and there will be a blessing, now that the Duke of Qin is sacrificing, the eldest prince and the second son, one is seriously injured and unconscious, and the other is disabled, the position of the prince of this country must fall to the third prince."

Before he could finish speaking, a short knife suddenly flew out of Huo Mingxuan's cuffs and went straight to Yang Chengyu's front door.

Yang Chengyu has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he is naturally keen, so he immediately dodged sideways, but he was still scratched by the extremely fast knife, and blood beads quickly appeared.

And the knife rushed straight forward, and with a bang, it was firmly nailed to the wooden frame behind Yang Chengyu.

"Huo Mingxuan, you want to kill me?!"

"If I really wanted to kill you, the knife is in your throat right now!"

Yang Chengyu was angry, and Huo Mingxuan's face was like a black iron at the moment, and the killing intent in his eyes was surging vigorously, like Shura.

General Zhang, who was sitting at the top, watched the hostility between the two young men and immediately slapped the table.

"Enough, shut up! With this quarrel, it's better to think about how to deal with tomorrow's battle situation and give me all the way back! ”

It's good that General Zhang is old and has some prestige, Yang Chengyu didn't dare to make another mistake, and Huo Mingxuan also put away his anger.

Liu Qin stood up silently, and in the eyes of everyone, he quietly walked behind Yang Chengyu, pulled Huo Mingxuan's knife off, and carefully wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

When he turned back, he glanced condescendingly at Yang Chengyu, who was sitting in the seat, and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the third son's knife will not touch the blood of innocent people."

Yang Chengyu has always hated Liu Qin, and at this moment, he was staring at him like this, and he felt even more inexplicably irritable in his heart.

With a cold snort, he got up and left first.

And Liu Qin handed the knife back to Huo Mingxuan, and then accompanied Huo Mingxuan to leave the coach's tent with Song Shuyan.

"How's the general's injury?"

Huo Mingxuan came out of his eldest brother's tent and was surrounded by Liu Qin and Song Shuyan.

"Still unconscious." Huo Mingxuan lowered his eyes, worry slipped on his face, and he immediately pinched the handle of the knife on his waist, "Go to my camp, I have something to say to you." ”

Liu Qin and Song Shuyan glanced at each other, nodded, and followed his footsteps.

And in the capital at that time.

The Mansion of the State of Qin has been filled with white.

As the only son in Kyoto, Huo Mingyi, the second son of Qin Guogong, took the grandchildren of the Huo family to kneel in the mourning hall for Qin Guogong.

Although the coffin of the golden silk nanmu that stopped in the mourning hall was empty.

Fang Yu ordered someone to send his own condolence gift to the Duke of Qin's mansion, and additionally sent a fine wild ginseng to the Duchess of Qin.

Comfort the Duchess of Qin Guo and take care of your body.

And in the palace, Pei Yao's state is not very good.

Qin Guogong has been in Northern Xinjiang for many years, he is the backbone of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he is also the most powerful blade in Pei Yao's hands.

Now that the blade has been broken, but the enemy has not retreated, it is natural to be worried.

In such a state of mind, the six princes of Shangyang Kingdom were first escorted to Kyoto.

Pei Yao didn't want to see him, so he was directly detained in solitary condition.

He was more worried about the next battle.

The government was nervous, and even Fang Yu went to Jingqian Palace to deliver soup and food, but he only left things twice and didn't see anyone.

Not to mention the other concubines.

That is, the pregnant queen and Concubine Yang can also get Hong Zheng to take a look instead of Pei Yao.

Fortunately, this did not last long.

Half a month later, in December, good news came from northern Xinjiang.

Huo Mingxuan broke the enemy army, killed seven generals of Shangyang Kingdom in a row, and the army pressed the border and entered Shangyang Country for forty miles, which was like a bamboo.

Among the seven generals of the Shangyang Kingdom, four of them were people who participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Duke of Qin.

It can be regarded as avenging his father.

And in this battle, there is no name of Yang Chengyu in the credit book, and the main generals in the list are only Huo Mingxuan and Ye Yunxiao, as well as Liu Qin, who provided tactics, and other soldiers with excellent performance.

It's not because Yang Chengyu didn't help much, but Huo Mingxuan and Liu Qin managed to trap him in the barracks to wait for help, so he couldn't go to the battlefield at all. (End of chapter)
