38 Chapter 38
Qin Ying and Xie Ci didn't go for long, and after a while, the two turned back.
It's just that Xie Ci changed his original state of walking quickly and full of vitality, with a forced smile and a heavy heart, seeing Gu Wan looking at him, he barely squeezed out a smile.
"What's wrong with you?"
Gu Wan was amused by him, and jumped to the ground with Qin Wenxuan twice, she was still holding a small green and tender green tree in her hand, Qin Wenxuan looked left and right and saw that she was a little afraid of many people and big goals, and said that she was going back, so Gu Wan waved goodbye to her, and then leaned over to the side of Xie Ci's face and looked at him sideways.
She was dressed in black guard armor, without a helmet, her long hair was tied into a bun on the top of her head, no matter what her face was painted, her big crystal eyes and radiant face were still there, and people could always see her at a glance from a distance.
Xie Ci sometimes admires and envies her, as if she will never be stumped and defeated by any difficulties. He whispered: "No, it's just that the second sister-in-law told me something, I'm thinking." "
He told her honestly.
Since that impulsive confession, Xie Ci has always wanted to continue, but tonight he suddenly remembered and left the book, but it was like cold water on his head, and he was suddenly sobered up.
Xie Ci was very smart, and he immediately understood why his second sister-in-law said these words to him.
…… Because, Gu Wan didn't like him.
It's a frustrating and frustrating fact.
He was afraid that once he pierced this layer of window paper and let Gu Wan perceive his intentions, would the two of them still be the same as now?
What's more, the second sister-in-law will definitely not coax herself for this kind of thing, he feels that his heart is full of Gu Guan, and his heart seems to fly out when he laughs, but the second sister-in-law said that it is not enough to be warm.
Xie Ci was very unconvinced, he felt that he just loved Gu Wan, but subconsciously believed in the second sister-in-law, so he was very contradictory, but this was his first time
I like someone, the first time he heard this kind of statement, his heart was chaotic, and for a while, he was at a loss, so what kind of emotions did he belong to? If it's not enough, how can it become another?
The second sister-in-law asked him to think for himself, just think about it with his heart, but he didn't know where to think of it, and his heart seemed to be a mess. But he looked sideways at Gu Wan beside him, she looked at him with a smile and a little teasing, but her heart calmed down. - He understood the mind of his second sister-in-law.
Indeed, Gu Wan is very important, and no matter how cautious he is, it is not an exaggeration.
Xie Ci never thought that there would be a stiff between the two of them or even a family in the future, that is absolutely
It's not something Xie Ci wants to see. Not in this life.
was looked at by her like this, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes, Gu Guan was very smart, he whispered: "I can't tell you for the time being, I have to wait until I figure it out." ”
Xie Ci thought that he needed a little time, and he had to think it through.
The starlight was faint, there was a little shadow on the ground, the shadows of the two were leaning together, her hand resting on her waist, looking at it this way, he stepped back a little to the left, and the two shadows seemed to be holding hands.
Gu Guan: Yo, there's a little secret?
I used to say everything to her, but it's not right to say that, he definitely can't tell others about the body of an adolescent boy, could it be that the second sister-in-law told him this?
Gu Wan was amused by her own thoughts, joking, but she had no intention of getting to the bottom of it at all, mutual respect is very important, no matter how close family and friends are.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up and down the thanks, he seemed to be born to wear battle armor, the long young man with broad shoulders and straight back was straight, and the black iron armor was draped on his body, not a little bit of being pressed by heavy armor, but naturally stretched out the momentum, a kind of awe-inspiring military might was born spontaneously, and Shi Sheng was born after seeing blood.
Standing here alone, he stood up with the feeling of falling asleep in a dream. He has grown a lot taller, more than one meter and eight points, half a head taller than her.
Gu Wan sighed twice and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go, Uncle Chen Yan and they should almost come back." "
Xie Ci immediately settled down when he heard this, yes, he still has a lot of important things to do, Xie Ci's life has never been just about personal feelings, he is now in the Northern Army and close to killing his father and brother and destroying his family.
Either you die or I live.
If he loses, everything else will be in vain.
As soon as Xie Ci woke up, he immediately suppressed these chaotic thoughts, and as soon as Gu Wan pulled him, Xie Ci immediately followed quickly.
The two looked left and right, Qin Ying had already been to the general camp, turned around and nodded at them, and the three of them quickly walked towards the general camp.
Chen Yan's sons, nieces and nephews, a group of young men come and go every day, dazzling, and they don't notice the words of thanks at all. When the three of them arrived, Chen Yan, Su Zhen, Xun Xiao and others were already there, and when Qin Xiankou and Wen Shao hurriedly came, everyone was there.
Qin Xian and Kou Wenshao took off their dusty helmets and threw them on the table, their faces were not very good-looking.
Both of them had just come down from the city, and Chen Yan couldn't help but exhale, "I'm afraid this year's battle will not be easy to fight."
Yes. ”
The information of Hu Yande, the new king of Beirong, has always been there, and he knows it on the side of Great Wei, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, his heart is even heavier than he knew before.
Qin Xian rubbed his face, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Okay, let's talk about Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang today." "
This room turned out to be a long table placed vertically, Chen Yan and Qin Xian asked Xie Ci to sit in the first place, but Xie Ci was refused, and finally they simply put the long table horizontally, and everyone sat together.
Now the old department of the Xie family's army, Qin Xian, Chen Yan, Su Zhen, and Kou Wenshao brought about 110,000 soldiers and horses into the Northern Army, accounting for about one-fifth of the 500,000 army. It is not overwhelming, and it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to be cronies of the same person, even if Xie Xinxin would not do this back then.
Less and no less, and Lu Xinyi, Zheng Shoufang and others are on a par, in addition to these biggest beneficiaries of Xie Xinxin's downfall, there are many neutral generals in the Northern Army, large and small, and there are about eight soldiers and horses. Ninety thousand.
Qin Xian and the others are very clear about the affairs of Yunzhou, and they are very close to the mastermind behind the scenes. The suspect removed a Huo Shen who was not in the right shape, and Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang were left.
Qin Xian was silent for a moment and asked for thanks: "Do you know Lu Xinyi?" Said before. "Of course I do," he said. ”
He said very slowly, lowered his eyelashes, and slowly raised them again, and there were many things hidden in a low voice. The crowd was silent for a moment.
Of course, they knew that Xie Ci must know Lu Xinyi, just like them, they used to be very, very familiar with Lu Xinyi, and the relationship was no less than that between Qin Xian, Su Zhen, and Chen Yan.
and Xie Ci is more close to Xun Rongbi, because the latter is his own uncle; However, Xie Xinxin himself is closer to Lu Xinyi, and even closer to Xun Rongbi.
Because the two are not only righteous brothers, Lu Xinyi's father, General Lu Zhaojing and Lu Shuai, Shi is Xie Xinxin's mentor and father-in-law.
Have you noticed that Lu Xinyi and Xie Xinxin's names are both with the same letter in the middle? This is no coincidence.
Xie Xinxin's name was taken by Lu Zhaojing.
Lu Zhaojing said that people do not stand without faith, loyalty is the marrow, righteousness is the bone, and the family and country are the souls of the generals.
In the end, he named Xie Xin, who was born first, Zhong, because the ancestors of the Xie family were loyal and loyal, so he avoided it.
Xie Xinxin is a posthumous son, in the past, the bloodline of the Changfang of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was almost cut off for a time, but fortunately, there is still a posthumous son.
Lu Zhaojing was entrusted by Xie Xinxin's father's deathbed will, and as soon as he was born, he accepted Xie Xinxin in infancy as his adopted son, and even the second and third uncles (the second room of the second room).
It was Xie Xinxin's two cousins, and he also taught them together.
Raised since childhood, learned literature and martial arts, taught hand-in-hand and led to the battlefield, and finally was able to revitalize the lintel of the Xie family.
Lu Xinyi is five years younger than Xie Xinxin, the two are young, they have been playing with him since childhood, and then went to Northern Xinjiang with Lu Zhaojing to fight on the battlefield.
It's not that brothers are better than brothers.
The only pity is that the good times did not last long, and when Xie Xinxin returned to Beijing to marry on the orders of his mother, it coincided with the Yuping Rebellion. The Yuping Rebellion was the starting point of the Miliang Rebellion, but it was not as powerful as the latter and swept most of the country, but unfortunately Lu Shuai died here. The dossier records that Lu Jingzhao miscommanded, and the forward 50,000 of the 150,000 troops were almost completely killed and wounded, and he was killed on the spot.
At that time, Lu Xinyi was only nineteen years old, lost his father in a hurry, and was questioned and held accountable.
At that time, when the bad news came, Xie Xinxin went thousands of miles to Yuping and found the hysterical Lu Xinyi, so he couldn't even be present at the birth of his eldest son. After that, Xie Xinxin took Lu Xinyi back to northern Xinjiang, and the two worked hard in the army all the way, and they have been working hard for decades until the current dynasty. Anyway, Xie Xinxin and Lu Xinyi are much closer than Xun Rongbi regardless of their relationship or origin. So how could Xie Ci not know Lu Xinyi?
Even Qin Xian's barracks was stacked with a lot of things sent by Lu Xinyi, who didn't name them, but they were obviously given to Xie Ci.
Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang are different, Lu Xinyi was born with a righteous face, and the relationship with Qin Xian and them was actually very good in the past, the reason why Qin Xian and Zhao Heng doubted him was because after Xie Xinxin's death, Lu Xinyi really became one of the several major beneficiaries, even if he did not take the initiative to fight for it.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Qin Xian said, "Since you know it very well, I won't say it." ”
When he was in the Lingzhou study before, he had already said it once.
Now the point is that he actually wants to talk about this Zheng Shoufang.
"Zheng Shoufang is the son of the eldest princess of Anyang, and he is the leader of the clan in the army."
Rivals.
Among the nobles of the clan, many people are not accustomed to Xie Xinxin's great military power, and some radical factions have become the natural enemies of the Xie family's army, and they have done it more than once, and this case of collaborating with the enemy was made by him, which is not unusual at all.
If it weren't for the imminent war, I'm afraid that Xie Ci and Qin Xian wouldn't be able to live so peacefully now, and Zheng Shoufang would probably have been on the imperial court.
The princess's son, the son of the clan, is different from others.
"So this big battle can't be said to be good or bad."
Because of Uncle Lin Guo, Lu Xinyi is suspicious
A little, but Zheng Shoufang must not be ruled out, anyway, it's hard to say.
A big battle pulls everyone together, and if the other party is Lu Xinyi, it will be easy to attack them.
But if there is no war, it will be the real trouble.
"But no matter what," Qin Xian nodded, "we can't let the open and secret battles here affect the outcome of the war." "What should be said has already been said, just as it was said tonight in the city and in thanks.
"Of course!"
"Old Qin, aren't you talking nonsense?"
Everyone is gossiping, and there's nothing to say. Now, I finally come to the second important point of the day.
Xun Xun.
Xun Xiao, who had been silent, raised his eyes at this time, and he slowly pulled up his gray cotton hood, revealing the right half of his twisted and terrifying face.
Gu Wan has also been waiting for a long time!
"Xun Xun, he is Beirongzi, it's true!"
Gu Wan immediately raised his hand, "He is in the same group as this person behind the scenes, but he is likely to deceive his superiors and subordinates." ”
Beirongzi should be top secret, right? If he hadn't thought that Xie Ci was dead, he probably wouldn't have been able to say it. Anyway, almost half of everyone in the original trajectory died, Xun Xun was fine, and when he first appeared, he was a super boss of nearly one-third of the Northern Xinjiang soldiers and horses.
There is not much description of the defeat of Guimao in the original book, because this is a prequel, but it is roughly written, the Great Wei was surrounded by the Beirong cavalry several times, from the spring battle to the midsummer, the northern army broke free, and finally fell into an ambush circle, 150,000 elite soldiers and horses, including 80,000 cavalry, were annihilated.
Great Wei was defeated, and the situation of the battle immediately took a sharp turn.
In the end, it became like that.
There is no doubt that Xun Xun's role here must be huge.
Gu Wan waited for a long time to wait for this topic, and she immediately asked, "We can open his Beirongzi."
Identity? In the absence of evidence.
No.
Qin Xian and Chen Yan glanced at each other, and the four of them almost said the same thing: they can't do it. Su Zhen said: "In wartime, the morale of the army will be shaken, and there will be no forgiveness according to military regulations!" Not only is it immediately beheaded, but there is no forgiveness.
Sure enough, as Gu Wan guessed, she couldn't help but glance at Xie Ci, and Xie Ci nodded at her.
Looking at Xun Xiao again, Xun Xiao's face did not change, obviously he already knew, his jaw was tense and tight, and the only remaining right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the raised green tendons could be seen in the position where there was no burn.
But in any case, this Xun Xun must focus on prevention!
Qin Xian had already ordered Qin Yong to rush to Sanzhou in person, and informed Chen Yan of this crucial news in person, and the four of them also urgently sent additional manpower to infiltrate the Suzhou army.
But the days are still short.
And even if it's not short, that's not enough.
It was necessary to guard against this person at the height of the entire Northern Army.
Qin Xian scolded a little irritably, stood up and paced a few times, and finally he said, "I'll go to Lu Xinyi's trip!" He grabbed his helmet and walked out quickly.
As a result, the undercurrent of foreign war under this war began. Late that night.
Lu Xinyi sent away the two princes to oversee the army and the Fu Qincha, and then sent away the two generals arranged by Uncle Lin Guo, just sat down and lowered his eyes to look at the map of the distribution of troops from Yinshan to Yehuling that had just been painted, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Qin Xian?"
Lu Xinyi stood up, Qin Xian broke in, the guards drew their swords and swarmed in, Lu Xinyi waved his hand to retreat. Lu Xinyi looked surprised: "Ziyu, is there something wrong?"
After Xie Xinxin's accident, the two quarreled, scolded, and even fought, but Lu Xinyi didn't admit it alive or dead, and he even kept investigating the incident together.
Under the light, Qin Xian looked at Lu Xinyi quietly, now he didn't believe a word of what Lu Xinyi said, and he didn't come here to talk nonsense with him.
Qin Xian stared at Lu Xinyi for a moment: "Can you guarantee that as this coach, you can never fornicate with Beirong for the purpose of victory?"
The reason why Qin Xian decided to come to Lu Xinyi was because he had been following him personally in the early and middle investigations of the smuggling case of collaborating with the enemy. He knows it all. Judging from the varieties and the number of iron weapons and ordnance traded privately by the smugglers, the main messenger behind the scenes has not reached the point of madness, and the other party has been controlling this amount.
They probably think that the Great Wei is strong, and there is a little smuggling business, but it is not harmful to loosen up the disease of scabies. But I didn't know that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill. Otherwise, Qin Xian would not have come today.
This" fornication Beirong poked Lu Xinyi at once, and he suddenly raised his voice: "I said it wasn't me, I didn't, do you believe it?!"
Qin Xian: "I don't believe it!!"
Qin Xian didn't say a word of nonsense: "I just ask if you can do it?!" He said word by word: "I swear in the name of your father and brother who died in battle." Both of them were red-faced.
Lu Xinyi's cheeks twitched, he finally revealed a bit of true emotion that was almost hideous, and after a while, he shouted: "Today, I, Lu Xinyi, swear in the name of my deceased father and brother!" This battle should be fought to the end
For the purpose of victory, during the period will not be fornicated with Beijung for half a point!! Otherwise, teach my father and brother that there will be no peace under the nine springs, and there will never be a day of reincarnation!
Lu Xinyi picked up the pen holder on the table and threw it over: "Are you satisfied?"
Qin Xian nodded: "Then I believe it." ”
Believe in these two points that you swear.
He told Lu Xinyi: "Xun Xun is the son of Beirong, the son of Princess Rilian of the former Kunyu Mausoleum Department, and he has half of the Beirong bloodline. This person killed his father and burned his brother, with ill intentions.
After Qin Xian finished speaking, he left.
Lu Xinyi was half angry, kicked the lampstand over, and the lamp "crackled" to the ground, "Damn Qin Xian!" A bunch of stubborn goods!
His anger has not subsided, of course he is aiming for victory, how can he release water to let Beirong break the border, his family, and half of his life are behind him!
It's just that Lu Xinyi snorted coldly, his eyebrows turned to yin, of course he wouldn't collaborate with the enemy, but he would kill people with a knife!" Master, Governor Xun is here. ”
As soon as Qin Xian left, Xun Xun came?
Lu Xinyi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Call him in." ”
When Xun Xun entered the door, the study had already been cleaned up as it was, except for a puddle of oil stains on the ground, there was no trace of Lu Xinyi's anger.
Lu Xinyi sat on the Taishi chair of the big bookcase, and carefully examined Xun Xun's face: "Qin Xian said that you are a Beirong species," he raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
Kunyu Lingbu, Princess Rilian?
General Xun Xun reported it, Lu Xinyi didn't look at it, Xun Xun came so quickly, the two have been allied for so long, they have done so many things, they both know each other's true faces, and there is no need to talk nonsense.
"I knew he was going to sow discord."
Xun Xun snorted coldly.
Lu Xinyi raised his eyebrows: "But I once heard that the mother clan of this new king Huyande seems to be from the Kunyu Mausoleum in the past. ”
So what? Do you need me to take an oath?
Xun Xun raised his right hand indifferently: "If I had a lie just now, telling me to die without a whole corpse in my intestines, and I will never be reborn in the eighteenth layer of hell after death!"
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if I really have half of the Beirong bloodline, can I still go to Beirong to be the leader of the clan and the leader of these eighteen tribes? Hahaha, it's ridiculous.
Xun Xun laughed.
Beirong is the same as the Great Wei side, and the mixed-race children are all discriminated against, Qiang
Fortunately, Beirong mixed-race children have no way to live in Great Wei, and they are not much better in Beirong, the best thing is to be a rich idler, and want to be in charge of the army and be the leader or something, it's a pipe dream.
Xun Xun is now the governor of Suzhou, and he is in charge of the military and civilian affairs of a place. Although the oath was very vicious, Lu Xinyi was not too moved, but the last paragraph convinced him at once.
He thought for a moment and nodded, "It's better to be so." ”
He spread out the military newspaper on the table: "Okay, you can go back." Xun Xun stood up and gave a military salute, "The last general will retire." "Turn and leave.
After he left, Lu Xinyi raised his eyes: "Keep an eye on him!" In addition, pass on my secret order to let Sima An and Yang Tang pay close attention to him in case it changes!
Sima An and Yang Tang are the two generals of Fangzhou and Mingzhou who are stationed on the left and the right of Xun Xun.
Lu Xinyi's order is handsome.
Although Xun Xun persuaded him, Lu Xinyi knew who Qin Xian was, and he immediately pulled up the whole line to prevent it.
After Xun Xun returned to the Suzhou military camp, his face immediately darkened.
Sent a message back that the plan had changed.
The general camp only lit an oil lamp, and it was drowsy, and Xun Xun's face was half covered by shadows, making it even more gloomy.
"I can't move lightly."
On the day he ran away, he knew that there was such a day.
He was resentful that a yellow-haired boy had ruined his deployment for so many years, so that he had to make urgent adjustments. Xun Xun has never missed a move in his life, and the only time is this thank-you, but ...... But he doesn't vomit unpleasantly! Xun Xun couldn't help but clench his fists, he thought of Xun Rongbi again, this old thief!!
His teeth chattered and he hated it
Even now, if there is a chance to do it all over again, Xun Xun may still say that he will most likely choose to kill more than to keep his mouth shut!
Indeed, he has been suffering for more than twenty years!
Looking at Xun Rongbi's dignified face, he wanted to reveal his true face in front of everyone who knew this old thief countless times!
Tear it with your hands, bite it with your teeth, tear it off inch by inch, expose him to the sun, and let everyone see it clearly!
Xun Xun tasted the smell of blood, he really bit out the blood from his mouth, until he tasted the smell of rust, he gasped, and frantically tore everything in the house.
"Doesn't he want to go back to the court?"
Xun Xun hissed: "Just let this be."
Draw the country and bury it for my mother, brothers and sisters!"
And Hu Yande, Lu Xinyi said that most of the time is right, he is the orphan of the Kunyu Mausoleum Department.
The grassland does not pay so much attention, as long as it is discussed, the child can follow his mother, and later the Kunyu Mausoleum was destroyed, and he returned to his father's family and changed his father's surname to Huyan.
The two are actually cousins.
When Xun Xun was seven years old, the people sent by Huyande finally found him, and he began to know his life experience. Before that, he was ridiculous, because he was older and had an inferior self-esteem because he was a younger brother and just an outer room.
Xun Xun hated it to the extreme, and said in a dumb voice: "When the matter is done, skin and debone me!" Half throw it away and feed it to the dogs! Better half...... The other half was buried under the poplar forest in Kunyuling.
In the end, his tone turned sad, his fists were bloody, he stood in the middle of the room in a daze, knelt down, hid his face and wept bitterly.
When he said that the remaining half of his flesh and blood wanted to be buried under the poplar forest in the Kunyu Mausoleum, he was still a little timid.
Beirong believes in immortality, and the oath he made with Lu Xinyi is not false.
The servant mother cried bitterly, pushed open the door and hugged him: "My little Ana, my little son!"
This old grandmother is the old nanny of the princess's mansion who was lucky enough not to die in the past, and she is the one who raised the three Xun Xiao sisters and brothers.
She hid in the water tank to avoid a catastrophe, traveled thousands of miles, and finally found Hu Yande, Hu Yande knew that Xun Xun might not be dead, sent someone to Dawei, and finally managed to send the old lady to Xun Xun to take care of him.
The old lady has a round face and a plate, and after twenty years, she looks no different from the old lady of Dawei, but she is actually from Beirong.
Xun Xun trembled and cried for a long time, and finally he wiped away his tears and solemnly said to his maid: "Mother Man, this is my wish, you will definitely help me complete it."
The steamed mother nodded with tears in her eyes.
But he said, "I'm not going to die so soon, I'm not done yet." Xun Xun has calmed down.
The spring night is warm and cold, there is still a faint yellow dust outside, and the starlight is very faint, but it must be better soon.
Xun Xun sneered, Qin Xian was afraid of him, of course he knew, but such a good gap, why not take advantage of it. It's just the right time to adjust the plan.
"I'm going to find out the excuses first."
Xun Xun called his nanny to fetch him medicine for the wound, and after he applied it, he wrapped black gauze around the palm of his hand as a palm protector. Xun Xiao looked at his hands, raised his eyes, and after finding it, he sent the news to Lu Xinyi. The mother of the bun called people to clean up the house, and the ones who came were Xun Xun's henchmen, absolute henchmen with Beirong blood.
One of them
A Chinese name is Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng raised the big table and wiped the blood stains clean: "Ezhen, then how can we find out the thanks?"
Ezhen means master and general.
Wang Sheng frowned, if he could easily find out the thanks, would Lu Xinyi still be able to cast a rat trap until now? Xun Xun smiled faintly: "That's Lu Xinyi." "If you want to find a thank you, Xun Xun really has a way.
In the middle of the night, a lamp was lit in the house, the light was flickering, Xun Xun smiled: You guys, do you remember your eldest son? Xun Xiao.
Xun Xiao's tomb was excavated, no matter how lazy the tomb keeper is, he still has to come up to patrol once a day, the difference between digging and not digging is still very big, it is difficult to restore it exactly the same in winter, the tomb keeper faces these tombs every day, and soon found that Xun Xiao's tomb was stolen.
But as soon as Xun Xun heard it, he immediately realized that Xun Xiao might not be dead.
He quickly determined that Gu Wan dared to return to Suzhou and enter the tomb to determine Xun Xiao's life and death! Not dead, it is impossible not to have burns.
Qin Xian, Chen Yan, and they all hired a new Sima military master who had burns! Xun Xun smiled: If you find Xun Xiao, then you will find a thank you. It just so happens that he has the means to find Xun Xiao.
And it's the kind that will hit it with one hit!
