There was a column of soldiers and horses running nearby, the fire flashed, waving the banner of Liangzhou, it was several deputy generals with Liangzhou soldiers and horses in defense, to separate most of them, and firmly encircle this place.

Shun Yin pinched his palm fiercely and forced himself to concentrate: "Continue to keep an eye on it, prevent the Ganzhou soldiers and horses from approaching, and the rest of the people will retreat with me." After a pause, he added, "Still don't hear anything." ”

The crowd whispered yes, and the two soldiers hurried away.

She pulled her horse and retreated to the rear, almost on the slope of the ridge behind her, before she looked at the place where Mu Changzhou was running.

The night disappeared, and the sky was slightly green like water.

In the shadow of the tree, Linghu Tuo beat his horse through, and saw that there were also soldiers and horses in front of him, and he turned around at once, and suddenly went straight to the rear, but the sword light flashed in front of him.

Mu Changzhou had already ridden his horse, the blade was coming, brushing his iron armor, and he stopped and turned around: "What, you didn't run away?" ”

Linghu Tuo's helmet has fallen, his hair is slightly messy, and his eyes are becoming more and more gloomy: "It's me who underestimates you, but it's not the weak scholar at the beginning." He threw away the knife in his hand and pulled out another knife from his waist, "I didn't think I would be able to live when I came, the governor's mansion and you are the same dog, I can't disobey their orders, but I can always kill you, and then go down to explain to me to the Linghu family and the Mu family." ”

Before the words fell, the person had already rushed in, and the knife was suddenly sharp. Turning around and rushing to lure him closer.

The soldiers and horses had already surrounded, and Mu Changzhou swung a knife at the door in front of him, and when he caught a glimpse of the knife he stabbed, his eyes were sharp.

"This is a knife from the county prince, it is appropriate to kill you, and you deserve to live?" Linghu Tuo's anger did not stop, and he stabbed at him, ready to be dodged, and even prepared to fight back.

Suddenly, the tip of the knife sank, piercing into the crack of the fine scale armor and straight into the shoulder socket opposite.

Mu Changzhou didn't hide, only stared at him coldly.

Linghu Tuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his chest was cold, and the blade that had been swung by him cut through the iron armor piece alive, bringing out a bloody wound.

The person suddenly fell off his horse, and the side of his face "smack" did not enter a knife, and it was almost half cut into the ground, and the blade was almost close to his face, making Hu Tuo's face dark and gasping for breath.

Mu Changzhou held the knife stabbed in the side of his face with one hand, pulled out the tip of the knife from the shoulder socket with the other, threw it on the ground, and his blood-stained fingers took away the silk cloth that was about to be split in half from his arms, and sneered: "Whether I deserve to live or not, it's not up to you to decide." ”

The soldiers all gathered around, and the horses pointed out and restrained the people.

The sky was one layer brighter, and the movement around never stopped.

Shunyin almost forgot how long she had been waiting outside, and finally saw Hu Xiao'er hurrying past on horseback, and those Ganzhou soldiers in self-made clothes rushed forward.

She looked at the soldiers and horses coming out one after another, and there seemed to be no movement.

It wasn't until the back of the soldiers and horses that the black and bright tall horse came slowly.

Mu Changzhou sat on the horse, the bow hung on the horse's back, the knife was put into the sheath of his waist, the blood on his hand was shaken, and he looked at her through the layers of soldiers and horses, his eyes were deep, as if he had hidden the blue shadow of the sky.

After a long time, his lips moved, and then he said, "You can go back." ”

Chapter Seventy-Nine

When the sun rose and the clouds were thick and the sky was bright, Zhang Jun received an order from the front of the city and led a group of soldiers to the military camp outside the west city gate, and specially pulled a carriage in the rear.

As soon as he arrived outside the gate of the barracks, he saw a column of Liangzhou soldiers and horses escorting a person to the camp tent in the middle, and immediately stopped, signaled to wait outside left and right, looked at the man with his eyes, and frowned.

The man was dressed in silver-gray iron armor, and he was already embarrassed, It was Ling Hu Tuo.

In the tent, Shun Yin just came back, sitting in the corner of the inside, raising her hand to take off her cloak, this day and night of running and thrilling seems to have finally ended at this moment, but her thoughts are still rushing.

There was a figure outside the door, Shunyin looked up, and saw the tall figure walking to the door.

Mu Changzhou had not faded the scales and straight armor on his body, the edges of his robe were stained with dust, and the saber and quiver on his waist had not been removed, but he stopped when he arrived at the door, turned around, turned his back to the tent door, and stood at the curtain door.

Shun Yin looked out through the gap on his side, and saw five or six soldiers escorting people over, and they faced the door.

Ling Hu Tuo was tied with his hands, his hair was scattered, and the silver-gray iron armor on his chest was cracked, and there were traces of blood, and the whole person was still standing upright, but his face was gray.

From Shunyin's position, he could just see that he wanted to lift his eyes, and he was looking at Mu Changzhou.

The soldier wanted to kneel down according to him, but he didn't move, panting, and hissed in a low voice: "Presumably you have regretted giving me the position of governor of Ganzhou at this time." ”

Mu Changzhou untied the quiver and threw it to the left and right, then took off the knife and handed it over, and said a small thing calmly, as if he was casually saying a trivial matter: "If I don't give you this position, how can it be you who are here now?" The more others know that you and I have an enmity, the more they will think of using you at this time, and you are just a pawn of mine. ”

Ling Hu Tuo's face slowly changed, he was not wrong, sure enough, Mu Changzhou was not surprised by his arrival, and he had long expected that there would be this day.

Mu Changzhou stopped his hand and stood still: "If you are not convinced, you can also wait for the opportunity to kill me again." After saying that, he waved his hand.

Zhang Junfeng was waiting near the camp gate, and when he saw this, he led people over, frowned and glanced at Ling Hutuo again, and ordered left and right in a low voice: "Take it away." ”

Ling Hu Tuo's face turned pale for a while, and he suddenly glanced at the tent and glanced at Mu Changzhou: "I hope your wife will not regret that day in the future." ”

Shun Yin sat still all the time, stiffened slightly when she heard the words, and stared straight at it.

Mu Changzhou's voice suddenly became cold: "Get out." ”

Linghu Tuo was immediately dragged away.

Mu Changzhou stood by the door, leaned slightly into the tent, as if he glanced at it, didn't say anything, and suddenly took two steps out.

Shun Yin pursed her lips, her fingers unconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes, and her thoughts were suppressed all night, and Ling Hu Tuo's words were floating in her ears almost all night, and there were a few more words at this time.

Zhang Junfeng walked outside the tent door, first glanced inside the tent, and then turned his head to look at Ling Hutuo, who was dragged away, before turning around and asking, "Military Division, do you want me to see him immediately." ”

Mu Changzhou took two steps, stopped in front of him, and whispered, "It's not time yet." ”

Zhang Jun agreed, hugged his fists, turned around and left.

When I got to the camp gate, I just bumped into Hu Xiao'er who got off his horse and returned to the camp.

Seeing that Linghu Tuo was dragged out and thrown into the carriage attracted by Zhang Junfeng, Hu Xiao'er was still glaring, and said angrily: "I said I should have gotten rid of this kid!" ”

Zhang Junfeng stopped in front of him and whispered: "You don't understand anything, this is the arrangement of the military department, you don't care." ”

Hu Xiao'er was stunned, watching him lead people on the horse, put him in the carriage and go straight to the direction of the city, scratched his chin angrily, and had to quickly turn his head and go inside to see the military secretary.

Mu Changzhou was waiting in front of the tent: "It's all stable?" ”

Hu Xiao'er's face was a lot more proud: "Yes, the surname Linghu has been captured, where else can they be, they all admit it!" ”

Mu Changzhou said: "According to the original plan, the deputy governor of Ganzhou temporarily acted as the agent of Ganzhou's military affairs, so as not to be taken advantage of by others to intervene first. Tell the defenders of the rear army horse farm to return, and watch them all retreat to Ganzhou. ”

Hu Xiao'er muttered: "That kid has already been arranged, when we go to surrender, his lieutenants have already recognized their deputy governors, and now they are ready to return to Ganzhou!" ”

Mu Changzhou said coldly: "That shows that he is not stupid." ”

Linghu Tuo had already arranged the back road, and did not leave the opportunity for the governor's office and Suzhou to intervene in Ganzhou's military affairs.

Hu Xiao'er snorted disdainfully, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why should ......the military secretary keep him?"

Mu Changzhou glanced away.

Hu Xiao'er had no choice but to stop talking, remembering that Zhang Junfeng said to let him leave it alone, and hugged his fists: "I'll go to the interrogation." ”

Mu Changzhou turned around and went back to the account.

The words outside the tent door were gone, and it seemed that everyone had left, but the camp was very quiet.

Shunyin sat for a long time without moving, and finally saw the figure outside walk in.

Mu Changzhou entered the tent, looked at her, did not speak for a while, his face was calm, just like when he called her back in the mountains, he seemed to have something to say, but it was more like he couldn't say anything.

Shun Yin looked at him for a while before he said: "It's really thoughtful, no wonder you are not surprised that he will come, thinking that you have been ignoring his hostility in the past, just to deliberately fuel his arrogance, so that the governor's office thinks that he is a sharp blade that can be used against you, so that he will always think of using him against you first." ”

Only this time, the governor's office used the most vicious and deadly way of instigation.

The corners of Mu Changzhou's lips tightened, and he opened again: "Now it seems that it is not completely thorough." ”

At least he didn't expect that on this day, there would be more of her by his side.

Shun Yin stood up, walked up to him, let go of the hem of his clothes that he had been holding tightly, and finally asked, "This is what you have done?" That unbearable rumor? ”

Mu Changzhou's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and seemed to squeeze out a word from between his teeth: "Yes." ”

The tent was quiet, Shun Yin could almost hear his own breathing, every breath and breath, as if it was slowly tightening and becoming urgent, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something for a moment, but he didn't find the words.

From the bottom of my heart, I turned out the words that Feng Wujian heard from the veteran of Qinzhou at the beginning: Mu Jiaerlang committed an accident and was taken away, and his reputation was gone......

Mu Changzhou looked down at her: "Do you believe it?" ”

Shun Yin was stunned, and he seemed to find a clue in his condensed thoughts, when he was in the Feng family, he clearly said that he had been raised in the Mu family since he was a child, and the Duke of Wuwei County regarded him as his own child, and he was ranked on the same basis as his parents and children, so he had the title of "Second Brother Mu", how could he come up with this crime?

With his tall figure in front of her, she froze down, lifted her eyes to meet his gaze, didn't answer, but suddenly said, "I only asked once, why didn't the Wuwei County Mansion exist?" ”

Mu Changzhou's eyebrows were gloomy: "At the beginning, Liangzhou was in turmoil and destroyed in the war. ”

She moved in her throat, her voice became softer, and she asked again: "Then why didn't the county prince and his own three sons go?" ”

His eyes were facing his Adam's apple, his throat rolled, and his voice was deep and astringent: "Died in battle." ”

Shun Yin stared at his eyes, and there was no trace of anything strange in his eyes, and the black eyes were motionless, as if every word was dragged out of the abyssal mire, but it was short and crisp, and the answer was not a little muddy.

"Then why don't you mention it?"

Mu Changzhou stared at her, he didn't sleep all night, his eyes were blue and gray, he was not tired, his face was only slightly pale, he had never had such a look in the pursuit of danger in the mountains, but at this time, he was like a stiff body, and suddenly raised one hand, and pulled out a bloodstained silk cloth from under the crack of the fine scale armor on his left shoulder: "Naturally, it's because of this." If no one mentions the past, no one will know about it, and I can start all over again and hold the power. ”

It was that crime, which had long been stained with blood at this time. Shun Yin moved her lips and said, "So the conviction is true." ”

Mu Changzhou's voice was already low in her ear: "There is this, what I just said, do you still believe it?" ”

Obviously his voice was not high, but Shun Yin felt as if his heart had been hit, as if he had been grabbed, and put it down, and all the words he had heard in the past day and night were imprinted in his mind word for word, and they were clear. She grabbed the hem of her clothes again, tightened and tightened, still shook her head, the Feng family was also said to be guilty, she had already suffered from it, and she couldn't be arbitrary: "I haven't experienced it myself, I won't judge it arbitrarily, and I won't easily believe this kind of evil sin." ”

Mu Changzhou's hand holding the silk cloth hung down to his side, his body seemed to be loose for a moment, but his footsteps did not move, and his eyes were always staring at her.

Shunyin raised his head again: "But I have a ...... that I care more about"

The back of her hand suddenly warmed, she looked down, only to see that it was a drop of blood, and when she looked up, she saw the blood stains on the edge of his fine scale armor, and then went up, until she saw the shoulder socket on his left shoulder, only to find that there seemed to be blood gushing out there, but the robe inside was covered by the scale armor, and it was difficult to detect it at all.

The words were interrupted, and she paused: "Are you hurt?" ”

Mu Changzhou raised one hand to untie the outer armor, the thin scale armor was not heavy, he untied it with one hand, except for it, the other arm never moved, the shoulder socket was wet and brownish, the color of the robe was half darker, almost half wet, but it was not sweat, blood was dripping down the sleeves.

Shun Yin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why he stuffed the silk cloth in the gap between the armor pieces under his shoulder, in order to stop the bleeding, and immediately turned around and walked outside the tent: "Someone! ”

Hu Xiao'er just walked back after the interrogation, heard the movement, hurried to the tent door to take a look, his eyes were glaring, and he hurriedly waved his arms loudly and called people: "Hurry up, call the military doctor!" ”

In an instant, there were soldiers running around, and almost in the blink of an eye, two soldiers were sent over and hot water was brought in.

A soldier even carried a freshly lit brazier.

Shunyin walked back to the tent, and saw that Mu Changzhou had been invited to sit down on the case, Hu Xiao'er walked around and rushed to work, shouting constantly, making her upset, and wanted to get closer, but was blocked by the soldiers who came and went.

It wasn't until the medic was quickly brought in and went to him to inspect the wound that it was quiet.

Almost forgetting what he was talking about before, Shun Yin stood by the curtain of the door, looking at him through the busy figure in front of him, the soldier in front of him went out with a copper basin stained with blood, he raised his head at the side of the desk, threw something out of his hand, and threw it into the brazier on the side.

She saw that it was the piece of silk that he had been holding, wrapped in bloodstains, licking out tongues of fire, and burning like this.
