Shun Yin took the brocade bag and finally found the echo: "Your Majesty Xie informed." ”

The emperor looked at her again: "I should thank you." He didn't even use the king's claim to be a king, and then he said in a solemn voice, "Go back, I will issue an edict as soon as possible." ”

Shun Yin bowed his head and retreated, went out of the palace gate, and walked out, but his mind was still surging.

Sheng Yu followed, and several attendants also followed to see her off, she didn't care at all, and she was still repeatedly recalling the words in the hall in her ears and heart.

When it was dark, Feng Wujian stretched out his head on the corridor of the official post and looked around, seeing a few fast horses rushing to deliver the letter out of the courtyard gate and leaving, turning his head and finally seeing a carriage coming from the direction of Miyagi, stopped outside the courtyard gate, accompanied by several attendants, hurriedly greeted him.

"Sister!" He rushed to the front of the car, "It's really good news, my sister hasn't come back from the palace yet, and the sage's message has arrived, it seems that you have entered the palace and driven very smoothly!" ”

Shunyin got out of the car and seemed to have just come back to her senses: "What good news?" ”

Feng Wuji said: "A few palace people who are fast horses have just arrived, and they have come to ask the official post to make arrangements, and they are ready to summon Second Brother Mu to come to the capital to see them." This is naturally good news, presumably it is going to be canonized in person, and my sister just needs to wait here for Second Brother Mu to enter the capital. ”

Shunyin remembered that the emperor had said that he would issue an edict as soon as possible, and it was indeed very fast, but his hand pinched the brocade bag in his sleeve.

Feng Wujian took advantage of the lights in the courtyard to see that her face was a little wrong, as if she was in a daze, and said strangely: "What's wrong with Sister?" ”

Shunyin suddenly remembered something, the Western Turks also sent people, but they were not summoned, they would not give up, and the Tibetan ......

She immediately turned around and said to the several attendants who came with her: "Please convey it to the saint on your behalf, the border defense is not stable, I am afraid that there will be changes, please ask the saint to issue an edict of canonization as soon as possible, I need to rush back as soon as possible." ”

The attendants all came by order, and immediately responded and left one after another.

Feng Wujian was stunned: "What do you mean, sister, you have just arrived for a day or two." ”

Shun Yin turned around and walked to the guest room: "I can't wait any longer, I have to go back as soon as possible." ”

She had to rush back with the edict of canonization, the sooner the better......

It was almost dark, Liangzhou City was closed early in the morning, and the people all closed their windows and closed their doors.

At the southwest pass outside the city, torches have already been lit, and the soldiers and horses have not stopped.

The Tibetan soldiers and horses were densely packed, and they had attacked the pass several times, and even sent their troops and horses to go around to the other side, trying to cross the mountains and rivers to attack.

Almost all the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou have been mobilized, and the military camps of the Sifang City Gate have been exhausted, surrounding the entire city, wandering around, constantly killing small groups of enemy soldiers who resist the invasion, and supporting the pass, but also guarding against most of the Western Turks that may appear at any time.

Zhang Junfeng led his troops to guard the pass city, and resisted the attack of the Tibetan soldiers and horses, and suddenly heard the two fast horses running around and shouting: "The Western Turkic Khan has retreated!" Most of the Western Turks have retreated! ”

The attack of the Tubo soldiers and horses outside the pass was a little sluggish, but it still did not stop, and there was a rain of arrows shooting towards the pass city, but it was much more cautious, and it was not forced to attack, as if there was a little more hesitation.

Zhang Junfeng shook his arm that had been sore for too long, took two steps back, turned his head and asked the cavalry who were looking around in the rear: "It can be seen that most of the Western Turks are coming to Liangzhou?" ”

The rear cavalry replied in a loud voice: "No! ”

That's the same as shouting. As soon as Zhang Junfeng heard it, he knew that it was Mu Changzhou's arrangement, and immediately urged the surrounding guards to shout along.

For a while, there were shouts of deterrence everywhere: "The Western Turkic Khan has retreated!" Most of the Western Turks have retreated! ”

The shouting did not retreat, and the fighting did not stop.

The pass was tightly closed, and bursts of fire oil were poured down, leading the fire away, burning a burnt smell along the mountain road, and the smoke was filled, blocking the approaching horse's hooves of the Tibetan soldiers.

Until it was completely dark, the shouts were still there, and the soldiers and horses who had swam out of the Tibetan enemy camp returned one after another, as if they had brought back news—they had not yet waited for most of the Western Turks.

Above the city, Zhang Junfeng finally saw the Tibetan soldiers and horses wearing fur furs and ribbons beginning to retreat.

"Send the news to the military secretary!" Zhang Junfeng has followed Mu Changzhou for many years, so he naturally knew that he was personally dragging most of the light horses, and when he saw Tubo retreating, he hurriedly ordered, "Go and answer immediately!" ”

The two light cavalry, who had rushed back to deliver the message, beat their horses again and ran back and forth.

It was dark, and the fast horses were still galloping.

In order to drag most of the Western Turks, they have detoured too far, and at this time they have not been able to approach Liangzhou City, but they have entered the boundary of Liangzhou.

Most of the Western Turks in the rear were still chasing, but the terrain was far less familiar to them, and since they were torn open and closed, they were unable to surround again, and were even led across the sand, losing some of their soldiers and horses.

In the dimness, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves, and a row of fires flashed in the distance of Huo Ran, and someone was shouting something.

It's too far away, and you can't hear it clearly. Most of the Western Turks, who were still pursuing in the rear, did not slow down and still rushed over.

Before catching up with the light cavalry in front, he saw that the fire in the distance was suddenly flourishing, as if a large army was coming, and the leading general immediately shouted in Turkic to stop, and finally heard the loud shout: "Tubo retreats!" Liangzhou reinforcements have arrived! ”

Thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly came from the flank, and suddenly rushed over.

Most of the Western Turks suddenly felt that the reinforcements from Liangzhou had arrived, and immediately blew the horn and retreated.

Linghu Tuo led his troops from the periphery of Liangzhou to resist the soldiers and horses of other Tibetan troops, and came around here, just bumping into most of the Western Turks, and did not want the other party to retreat at the touch of a button.

It wasn't until he heard a shout in the distance that he understood something, and turned his head to look at the pursuing light horse ahead, as if he saw the figure of the leading horse flashing by.

"Commander!" Hu Xiao'er gasped and shouted on his horse, "Most of those dog thieves have retreated!" Tubo has also retreated! ”

"Hmm." Mu Changzhou had already seen the fire in front of him, and finally slowed down his horse's speed.

"I see! The military secretary is provoking the dog thieves on both sides! Hu Xiao'er slowed down, wiped the sweat from his beard, and breathed a big sigh of relief, "One saw that the other was delayed, and the other was dragged to the other end and retreated, suspicious of each other, their hearts were not aligned, but they couldn't disperse!" Finally dispersed......"

The words suddenly stopped, he stared at the ground, and seemed to see drops of blood in the dimness, and the smell of blood wafting from the wind was heavier than before, and he looked up and followed the traces to see the black horse in front of him, and then looked at the person on horseback: "Is the military secretary really injured?" ”

With a soft sound, the bow in his hand fell to the ground, and Mu Changzhou suddenly fell from his horse.

Immediately stopped left and right, Hu Xiao'er almost jumped off the horse, ran closer, helped him up, touched the blood in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Fire!" What about fire! ”

A burst of fast horses came in the distance, and Zhang Junfeng had already led people to run to him, the torches were shining, and everyone stopped in amazement.

Mu Changzhou's black robe was stained with blood, his face was pale, his body was soaked in blood and sweat, he held a knife in one hand and sat up: "It's okay, go back to the city to detoxify." ”

Hu Xiao'er was shocked, almost thought that he had heard it wrong, he clearly remembered that he was only cut by a knife on his back, but he was wearing soft armor, and he should not have hurt the vital point, at this time, by the light of the fire, he saw that he also had a few cuts on his arms and legs, touched a bloodstain, sniffed at the tip of his nose, and his face turned pale: "Those dog thieves actually soaked black poison on the knife and arrow!" ”

Zhang Junfeng hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Call the military doctor!" ”

Mu Changzhou had already stood up with his knife: "Return to the city immediately and stick to Liangzhou." ”

Hu Xiao'er hurriedly supported him: "The military secretary can't move much!" ”

Mu Changzhou reached out to grab the reins of the horse, and his voice became hoarse: "Come back quickly, Yin Niang will be back soon, she is not easy to fool, she must be back soon, go back early, so that everything can be ...... fine"

"How can the military secretary be okay like this?" Hu Xiao'er said hurriedly.

Mu Changzhou grabbed the reins, hit the saddle with a bang, stood firmly, and sneered lowly: "I can't die, my life is very precious!" Yin Niang is still waiting for me, go back ......"

The wind swept by, the knife also fell to the ground, and the person was held by Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er in time, so that he did not fall again......

Shunyin suddenly woke up, and the sky was white.

"Madam," Shengyu said outside the room, "someone from the palace." ”

Shun Yin came back to her senses in an instant, didn't care about anything else, immediately got up, and quickly dressed.

Several chamberlains were already waiting on the porch, holding an edict in their hands.

When Feng Wujian rushed out, he saw that his sister had walked out solemnly in her clothes and approached to salute.

"The edict of the saint's canonization is here, and the lady can take it back first, and the capital will be promulgated as usual. The new governor took office, with full authority over the fourteen states, and chose a day to enter the capital for an audience. The chamberlain handed her the edict and withdrew without stopping.

Shunyin held the edict in his hand, and immediately turned his head and ordered: "Leave now." ”

Sheng Yu hurriedly went to arrange.

Feng Wujian chased after him: "Sister really wants to be in such a hurry?" ”

Shunyin carefully took the edict into his arms, nodded heavily, and the sharp jump in his chest when he woke up seemed to have not slowed down: "The old matter of the Feng family is over, you wait here, I will leave immediately." ”

Seeing her like this, Feng Wujian had no choice but to run to the front yard and ask for a guide to protect the pedestrians.

Before the sun had risen, the team had already set off.

The carriages and horses went out of the city in unison, facing the cold northwest wind of the day, and headed straight west.

It's not a good time to rush at all, and there are hardly many passengers and pedestrians along the way.

Shunyin sat on a horse, wrapped in a thick cloak and hood, and looked into the distance.

Even if you take a shortcut, it still feels long and far away.

The wind was much colder than when it came, and the further northwest I went, the more I felt the sharpest I was.

Sheng Yu approached the horse, pulled his cloak and said, "Madam, let's take a car, it's too cold." ”

Shunyin looked up at the sky, the thin sun was gone, and the dome was gloomy, as if a wind and snow were coming.

She mentally calculated the path, nodded, and got off the horse to board the car.

The ruts rolled forward, the curtains were closed, blocking the cold wind, and there was a sudden silence all around.

Shunyin's fingers stroked the edict in his arms, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart for no reason, and suddenly touched the thing in his sleeve, and his fingers stretched out and took out the brocade bag.

When I opened the bag, there was a fold inside.

Her fingers paused, and she flipped them open.

I saw a line of familiar handwriting: Chen Mu Changzhou self-guilty book......

It's his own handwriting. With a movement of her fingertips, she understood what it was, a self-report of what he had done.

At that time, he could not speak directly to her because what he was doing should have been hidden in secret, and it was more about his secret covenant with the Holy Place.

Suddenly I remembered his words: "I said that I would give you an explanation, and sooner or later you will know everything." ”

When he came to Chang'an, he calculated everything.

That's what he told her.

Shunyin clenched the page tightly and finally turned it back.

Chapter 90

The room was dark, and the figures around were running.

Mu Changzhou leaned on a marching couch, just poured a mouthful of thick black medicinal juice, and immediately spit it out, bringing out a few bloodshots, his arm on the edge of the couch, and the wound was dripping with blood.

The military doctor on the side put down the medicine cup, hurriedly untied his robe to check the wound, and was so anxious that his forehead was sweaty.

There was silence left and right, Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er were pestled on the side of the couch like two clay statues, their faces solemn.

The medicine that had just been poured spit out again, bringing out more blood, Mu Changzhou grabbed the edge of the couch with one hand, panted and said: "Seal the news of my injury, stare at the retreat on both sides, stick to the city defense, and pay attention to the people who come back......"

Hu Xiao'er hurriedly replied: "It's all done, don't worry!" ”

Mu Changzhou raised his head, his face was covered with sweat, and his voice was hoarse: "Has she come back?" ”
