At the end of the day, someone in the camp of 500 men shouted, and the hour had come, and the whole army was ready......

When Mu Sheng heard this, he immediately woke up, he turned over, and led people to wake up his comrades who were still sleeping one by one, and all the soldiers got up one after another, wrapped the horse's hooves in cloth, prepared for pre-war mobilization, and prepared to set off with fire.

Everyone led the horses and walked to a stop not far from Lintan, Mu Sheng carefully observed the military camp in the distance, and ordered more than 500 people to quietly turn over and get on their horses.

Before leaving, Mu Sheng ordered, "Brothers, I emphasize again, remember, act separately, don't fight, the main task of our department is to set fire to the warehouse." ”

Mu Sheng drew his sword, and with a wave of his hand, five hundred people rushed towards the enemy camp like a thunderbolt.

When they approached the camp less than a hundred paces in the dark, the enemy heard the movement, and the camp quickly began to stir.

At this time, the five hundred Jin army death squads had already rushed into the Nanban military camp, lit the fire oil, and threw it onto the grain cart full of grain and grass in the camp.

Mu Sheng stretched out his bow and arrows, lit the arrows and shot a grain truck, and in a few moments, a raging fire rose into the sky.

Mu Sheng looked back at Hua Zilan, who was riding a horse and following him, and shouted, "Zilan, you follow me, don't fall behind." ”

"Yes, master."

Hua Zilan rode her horse and followed closely behind Mu Sheng, and with a wave of her double sword, she turned into a fire whip, throwing out countless rockets and igniting the grain and grass in the camp, and the camp tent.

Mu Sheng was secretly stunned, and at the same time envious in his heart, he was worthy of being a heavenly master-level master, fortunately he brought her, but he didn't expect that her innate fire spirit body was not too suitable for this job, and the efficiency of setting fire was also high, and a whip was thrown out, and a large sea of fire was ignited in an instant, which was really used by a top hundred people.

The barracks where the grain and grass were stored in the Nanban were very large, and the death squad burned the horses back and forth several times before it was completed, at this time the enemy granary was on fire everywhere, and the Nanban defenders were also caught off guard, they did not expect that the Jin army would know exactly where their grain and grass were hoarded in such a short period of time.

Seeing that the skyrocketing fire was unavoidable, Mu Sheng took out the horn and blew it three times in a row to indicate that the whole army was retreating, and he took a few soldiers around him to cut down the surrounding enemy and rushed out of the camp gate and left.

When he rode his horse and retreated to the gate of the barracks, Hua Zilan, who had been following closely to the left and right, shouted, "Master, be careful. ”

Before Hua Zilan's words fell, Mu Sheng only felt that the mount under him suddenly fell to the ground and threw him away.

He looked back, it turned out that his mount was shot dead by the pursuing Southern Barbarian Army, saying that it was too late, it was fast, Hua Zilan stepped forward immediately, grabbed Mu Sheng's arm, he borrowed a little strength, turned over and got on the horse, and the two rode on the same horse, and left.

The pursuing Southern Barbarian Army had no cavalry, and it was difficult to catch up with these death squads, so they could only chase behind them in vain and shout and curse in unintelligible barbarian language......

An hour later, at dawn, when the five hundred death squads gathered outside Qucheng, Mu Sheng, as the main general, counted the number of people first, and almost lost more than two hundred people in this raid, and half of them failed to escape back.

Yao Ji was also hit by several arrows, and he struggled to lie on the horse's back before he persevered to the city.

Mu Sheng himself was lucky, but he suffered a little skin injury, and his mount was indeed killed by random arrows, if it wasn't for the critical moment, his senior bodyguard Hua Zilan came to save the hero with a beautiful woman, and he was afraid that he would be hanging.

After Mu Sheng stepped forward to check his identity, he called open the city gate.

After the death squad entered the city, Mu Sheng first arranged for the seriously injured sergeants to recuperate, and he trotted all the way to the lobby of the county guard mansion to report to work.

In the hall of the county guard's mansion, the county guard Fu Bao and the county lieutenant Feng Qi did not rest all night, Feng Qi was wrapped in a white cloth on his head, lying on the chair and panting, it is estimated that the injury is not light, it seems that the southern barbarian army also launched a siege battle at night.

The county guard Fu Leopard had messy hair and red eyes, and when he saw Mu Sheng enter the gate, he stepped forward and helped him up one step at a time and asked, "Excuse me, how is it, has it been?" ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said, "Master Fu, fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." ”

Mu Sheng truthfully reported the battle situation to Fu and Feng.

Feng Qi was overjoyed when he heard that he had really burned down the enemy's granary, and said with a smile, "Hahaha, Master Fu, as expected, in a few days, the enemy army will retreat......

Fu Bao was also relieved when he heard this, he sat down on the low floor, and said to himself, "Fei Chong, this kid, finally has a little conscience......

In the early morning of the next day, when everyone climbed to the top of the city, they saw that the enemy army was still preparing the siege order in an orderly manner, and was still slowly approaching the city as last time, preparing to attack the city.

Fu Bao announced the burning of the enemy's granary, and the morale of the whole army was like a rainbow, knowing that the opposite side was the end of the strong crossbow, and if there was no food, the powerful army would be finished, and this battle was the final battle.

The enemy army obviously understood what was going on, and just made a show of it, and began to withdraw its camp in an orderly manner.

It is impossible for Fu Bao, the county guard, to let the Nanban retreat so cleanly, and immediately order all the troops and horses to send troops out of the city to raid the enemy, so that the enemy army will be overwhelmed, and when he retreats, see if he can take advantage of it.

The barbarian coalition army is retreating, but not defeated, the front army has changed to the rear formation, and the number is far greater than the Jin army, Fu Bao has never found a suitable fighter, and in the end can only watch them throw away heavy supplies and siege equipment, withdraw from Yuejun and leave.

Fu Bao took the men and horses to chase until the border before retreating back, and in the chase you have to go into the jungle, the Nanban is very good at fighting in the mountains, there is their real world, and if you really chase it in, there will be no return.

Fu Bao returned to the army and went to the county guard hall to preach to the generals: "When did the people of the former tribe come out with such a master of leading troops? If we hadn't burned their grain and grass by surprise, it would have been unknown who would have killed the deer. ”

At this time, a scout rushed in from outside the door to report: "Report, Lord County Guard, this is the handwritten letter of Lord Zhang, the County Keeper of Zhuo County." ”

Fu Bao took the book and flipped through it, and suddenly sighed.

Seeing this, the county lieutenant Feng Qi asked, "What's wrong with Master Fu?" ”

Fu Bao handed him the handbook, Feng Qi glanced at it a few times, and the letter probably meant that the reinforcements would arrive in eight days, so that they could hold on, and the Tsing Yi envoy would be responsible for the comprehensive investigation of the Yuejun incident.

Feng Qi looked at it and shook his head: "These dog legs made by Tsing Yi are really timely." ”

"Lord Feng said carefully, the Tsing Yi envoy represents His Majesty'......"

Fu Bao was also a little depressed by this sudden news, he knew that if the emperor began to instruct the Tsing Yi envoy to investigate Yuejun, he would definitely have nothing to do with the East Palace, and the East Palace would also be affected by it.

In the Qucheng Post House, the matter came to an end, Mu Sheng, Guo Huan and others were going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow, but they didn't expect to receive the news from Master Fu that the Tsing Yi envoy had arrived, and they wanted to investigate the causes and consequences of the Yuejun incident, and they, as the parties, could only stay and be investigated.

When Guo Huan heard that it was the Tsing Yi envoy, he also frowned and instructed Mu Sheng and Yao Ji, "I am from the East Palace, it is inconvenient to come forward, if the Tsing Yi envoy mentions me, just say that I am Fu Bao's friend, there is no need to say anything else, you two are directly involved in this matter throughout the whole process, if the Tsing Yi envoy asks, you just tell the truth, all the credit is on your head, there is no need to hide anything, remember to emphasize the achievements of Master Fu in repelling the 100,000 Southern Barbarian Coalition Army." ”

The two nodded understandingly, this was obviously to avoid the important and light for Fu Bao and emphasize his merits.

Eight days later, in the morning, Lord Zhang, the county guard of Zhuojun, rushed to Qucheng with tens of thousands of reinforcements and Tsing Yi envoys.

Mu Sheng and Yao Ji were summoned to the county government hall, only to see that in addition to Fu Bao, Feng Qi, Luo Junzhuo, Lord Zhang, and other county officials, there were also several five people dressed in plain black sitting in the hall.

Mu Sheng saw that these five people looked solemn, and he guessed in his heart that they might be the people of Tsing Yi.

This is the Tsing Yi envoy? What about Tsing Yi? Why are they all dressed in black?

The so-called Tsing Yi envoy is a bit like the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but the power is not as great as that of the Ming Dynasty factory guard, only the power to participate in the investigation, and there is no law enforcement power.

The Tsing Yi envoy was first established during the reign of the second emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and at the beginning of its establishment it was only an organization specially used to collect military intelligence for the seven countries of the Kwantung region.

Mu Sheng subconsciously glanced at the five Tsing Yi envoys a few times, it should be the official uniform, yes, he has lived in Qingyang for so many years, and it is really the first time he has seen these people in Tsing Yi.

Fu Bao said to the five black-clothed envoys with a smile on his face, "The upper mission is here on a business trip, and the official is not well entertained, and he still invites Haihan to ......."

The leader of the Tsing Yi envoy was a middle-aged man surnamed Li with a square face, and he smiled and said to Fu Bao, "Lord Fu, you are polite, we are all for Your Majesty's worries, and our responsibilities are different. ”

"If you say anything about the errand, as long as the county guards for a day and is still the parent official of this Yue County, you will definitely fully cooperate with the investigation of the errand......"

The leader surnamed Li Qingyi bowed his head slightly and said, "Lord Fu, from today onwards, we will make a record of the parties in Yue County, investigate the county treasury and official documents, if there is any offense, I hope you will ...... Haihan."

A few days later, Mu Sheng did not know how the others investigated, and he and Yao Ji were both directly involved in being interviewed by the Tsing Yi envoy alone.

Tsing Yi made these people polite, in the county mansion room in a group of two, one asked, one recorded, chatted while drinking tea, and talked about the cause and effect of the matter, and the two of them never went to the county guard mansion to cooperate with the investigation.

In the post house, Mu Sheng was meditating and practicing in his room, Guo Huan sent someone to inform him that he was going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, and Mu Sheng was going to leave as soon as he heard this? The people in Tsing Yi are really efficient, and the investigation has been completed in less than half a month?

In the twentieth year of the Great Unification, on the morning of November 14, Qin Cha Luo Jun, Fu Bao, who had taken off his official uniform, and Feng Qi, the county lieutenant, gathered at the gate of Qucheng City.

The team finally left Yuejun smoothly, and halfway through, Mu Sheng looked back at Qucheng, which was getting farther and farther away from him, and sighed, the matter here has finally come to an end.

When the team arrived in Jialing County, they still took the waterway and went back by the Grand Canal, but instead of going upstream, they had to rely on the slender men on both sides of the river to pull the boat, which took a lot of time.

Mu Sheng was bored in the cabin, walked out of the cabin to breathe, and saw Yao Ji and the Guo brothers chatting at the bow of the boat, he also stepped forward.

Guo Sheng saw Mu Sheng coming over and said hello: "Uncle Liu." ”

Mu Sheng also nodded at them.

At this time, Guo Sheng said, "This time it's strange, I heard my father say that in the past, the Tsing Yi envoy investigated the place, no one gave face, basically investigated to the end, the result of the Tsing Yi envoy's investigation was basically in accordance with the rhetoric we gave, I heard that the government treasury, the county government documents, etc. were basically going through the motions, so the case was closed in such a short period of time......

Mu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Tsing Yi makes this to give face to the East Palace?" ”

Yao Ji nodded and agreed, "Brother Liu, the Yuejun County Shou Fu Leopard, Lord Qinchaluo, etc. are all from the East Palace, and I also heard that Recently, His Majesty has been obsessed with cultivating immortals and immortals, and in the past, he would summon important ministers to go to Taiji Palace to discuss political affairs, and now even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been able to see the emperor for several months." ”

"Now the government and the opposition are talking about speculation that the old emperor may be in poor health, after all, the people of the Tsing Yi envoy are the emperor's side people, and they are only loyal to His Majesty, and they are also the closest people to His Majesty, but this time the Tsing Yi envoy's style of acting, I think the rumors of the Taiji Palace may not be groundless......

When Guo Zhi heard this, he suddenly realized, "Could it be that these people from Tsing Yi have already smelled the smell and started to stand in line in advance?" ”

Guo Sheng said with a smile, "It may not be necessary to stand in line in advance, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor, and the Tsing Yi envoy will definitely have to save face for the East Palace, but it is just a matter of giving more and less, and this time it is really rare to conclude according to our rhetoric......"

Guo Zhi bowed his hand to Mu Sheng and Yao Ji and said, "Congratulations to the two uncles, this time Yuejun has made a great contribution to breaking the Nanban in one fell swoop, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he will personally summon the two uncles and ......reward them for their merits."

Hearing this, Yao Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's still Brother Guo's wisdom to know people, so we have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions......

Mu Sheng smiled: "What Brother Yao said is extremely true. ”

At this time, on the deck of the big ship, except for Mu Sheng, everyone felt comfortable, if the crown prince could succeed to the throne smoothly, they would be able to fly on the branches and become phoenixes.
