Xie Ci remembered that his little Zhang Ningyuan was the good friend who secretly passed the news to him with a code on the yellow paper of the notice after Xie Ci escaped from prison and begged his uncle Zhang Shangshu to mediate for the Xie family's daughter.

Zhang Ningyuan was very good and didn't say anything to his friends, but he did a wrong thing when he was young and ignorant.

Zhang Ningyuan was born handsome, and loves to deal with beautiful girls from all walks of life, the gentlemanly service of his sisters and noble girls, the pursuit of various large and small oirans in the eight major alleys, and the small family of the daughter of everyone he met, as long as the other party is willing, he is very willing.

He often walked by the river, and finally got his shoes wet, and in the early winter when he was sixteen years old, he really liked a girl.

That girl's background is not good, she is just a daughter of the side branch of the Wupin official family, but she is brave and enthusiastic, and she burns everything. When the love was at its hottest, Zhang Ningyuan personally told her parents for her, knelt in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, and was injured.

But he is the nephew of Shang Shu and the son of the Marquis of Xiangcheng, how can he marry the daughter of a small merchant who sells incense and paper?

Zhang Ningyuan's father was sick and weak and bedridden all the year round, and his mother had a tenacious temperament to support the family, but his father's condition took a turn for the worse after that time, and he almost died for a while, and his mother, who was so strong, fell ill with tears streaming down her face.

Of course, Zhang Ningyuan didn't hold it in the end, he knelt in front of his parents' sickbed and compromised, swearing that he would never be with her again, and the marriage would only be at the behest of his parents.

He was engaged half a month later, and the girl who was married was known as the daughter of the Pingguo Mansion.

Everyone thought that this paragraph was over, Zhang Ningyuan cleaned up his mood and put down this relationship. Whether it was Zhang Ningyuan's private or the Zhang family on the surface, they all compensated the girl herself and her family a lot, and in the end they were all happy, and the family worked hard and quickly set up a marriage for the girl.

The marriage was very good, the family was harmonious, and the husband and son-in-law were motivated, but the girl rushed out of the sedan chair on the way to get married, stood on the railing of the high Tongji Bridge, and jumped down.

She used her life to bury this unforgettable relationship for her.

Xie Ci suddenly remembered Zhang Ningyuan's face shaking his fan and laughing, and suddenly panicked, they were all at the time: No, no, I don't know, I don't know if it will be like this?

originally thought it was just a young past, but who knew that it left the imprint of life. Thanks, he walked briskly forward.

He passed through Zhang Ningyuan, and then compared himself, and suddenly became enlightened. He finally figured out that he loved her. Imperceptibly, penetrates the soul.

I don't know when I started to fall in love, maybe very early.

Even the moment of the prison look up is moved, leaving never

Fading memories. It's just that I wasn't in the mood at the time.

"I found that every day was very clear," every day and night I spent with her, the rotation of memories, the changes of the world, whether it was still sad, gloomy or moving, heartbeat, it was so vivid, "I have not forgotten." ”

He is almost eighteen years old, sixteen years old, the eldest brother met his sister-in-law at this age, the second brother was two years late, and even his father saved his mother at this age to make a marriage contract.

The morning light gradually opened, and a touch of morning sun passed through the billowing gunsmoke, and fell on his hand, Xie Qi stopped, he turned his head sideways, and whispered: "I think I should love her."

I want to live and die with her, go up and down to the Yellow Spring, and be together forever.

Xie Ci finally figured it out, he laughed softly, the road ahead may be difficult, but when I think of you, I am not afraid at all. Qin Ying couldn't help laughing, this was right.

Xie Ci's eyes were bright, he took a step back, bowed deeply to his second sister-in-law, and then quickly straightened up, walked forward quickly, and turned over on his horse.

The fat black horse neighed and paced a few steps, he grabbed the reins, his long and sturdy body sat on the horse with a straight back, Xie Ci raised his eyes to look at the blowing horse and the scale armor, the black pressure spread to the end of the mountain, and the golden iron horse was boundless.

Thanksgiving, clenching the reins.

What he had to do, he thought, was to be stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you want to protect.

Suffocating like last night, he'd already experienced it twice, and he didn't want to go through it again for the third time in his life! From afar, Qin Guan nodded at him slightly.

Xie Ci nodded.

Several people quickly communicated, and the Ling flag was quickly waved and pointed in the northeast direction!

Thank you: "Fei Zhai Camp Bailing Camp listen to the order, target Malian Road Crossing, march at full speed!" He turned his horse's head and galloped away.

The Scales Flying Infantry Armor immediately rushed to follow.

With billowing smoke and dust, the earthquake trembled, and swept all the way to the northeast.

At this time, Gu Wan and Xun Xiao had already left the army and galloped in the direction of Guzang Mountain.

In the army, Qin Wenxuan followed her all the way, but Lang's heart was like iron, she didn't show up with Xun Xiao at all, and Gu Wan had no choice but to persuade her to go back. Gu Wan rode away, and when she looked back for the last time, the girl was still in place.

But now is not the time to discuss these issues.

Gu Wan pressed her helmet, went all the way left and right, and rushed along the cavalry all the way to a turn, and she took advantage of the sky to rush into the lush dwarf

The forest grows and the grass grows

, out of a section, quietly left the army.

After a little further forward, he finally saw Xun Xiao's back, he was standing on the grass under the big tree on the gentle slope, he had changed back to wearing a gray cotton hooded cloak, and he didn't look back when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and threw a burden on Gu Wan's head.

Gu Wan picked it up and opened it to see that it was a set of women's coats and pants, I don't know where he went to collect it, it was a little damp and half-used but not new, a dark red top with duck green pants, what kind of match is this?

Gu Wan got into the grass and changed his clothes, the helmet and armor were tied into a big bag and hung on the saddle, and then she stepped forward with a clamp on the horse's belly, and she found that Xun Xiao was looking at a light indigo silk clothes in his hand.

- Gu Wan recognized it at a glance, this is the one used to stimulate Xun Xiao. After he solved Huang Shiweiwei's guard, he went around and went to find the skull and this dirty clothes, but fortunately, Gu Wan finally identified that the skull was not a middle-aged woman's, and finally found this dirty clothes embroidered with twig patterns on the neckline and picked it up.

The loess mud and dust on the profane clothes have been wiped clean as much as possible, and the creases and damaged places are also carefully smoothed, Gu Wan said "Let's go" and drove forward, Xun Xiao lowered his head and folded the profane clothes carefully, wrapped them in a clean cotton cloth, and hung them in the burden behind the saddle.

Gu Wan was cautious: "That's your mother's?" Xun Xiao glanced at her and nodded.

The relationship between the two is indeed a little better than before. In the past, it was absolutely impossible for Xun Xiao to look at this dirty dress while waiting for her, and he didn't deliberately cover his hands and face now.

Gu Wan asked, "Is Luo Qian okay?"

"I've got some injuries, it's fine."

After a brief conversation, the two of them galloped eastward, and finally arrived at Gujie Mountain in the afternoon, where they drove their horses up the winding and rugged mountains, and when they passed through the top of the mountain, they could see the undulating mountains of the Guiyi River in the distance.

March is coming to an end, the mountains are full of blue, the sky is rolling dark clouds, and the late rain this spring is finally coming.

Looking north, over the barrier of the majestic mountains, that direction is the endless prairie, the place of the Beijung people. To the south, there are winding and undulating mountains, and they stand in this place and look down, there is a winding mountain road, which does not lead to Guanzhong, but can connect Longzhou and Xiangzhou Suzhou in the rear.

On the top of the mountain, the two of them were hunting and flying, and Xun Xiao finally said: "My mother died in captivity, and she was on her way back to her parents' house and back to Suzhou." ”

The location of the accident is in this area.

Xun Xun still wants to be the governor of Suzhou, this dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and he has not repeatedly, and the place where Mrs. Pei's accident happened is not there

Suzhou. Her mother's hometown is in Longzhou, and she was abducted and killed when she encountered bandits on the way back to her hometown to worship her parents.

But she must have really died, Xun Xun didn't know that Xun Xiao was still alive, and he would never be able to bury a mine for himself.

The reason why I mentioned this today is because Xun Xiao's subordinates have some people besides Luo Qian, and so far, they have found that those "bandits" intercepted and killed the convoy and took the route that Mrs. Pei retreated to, which should have passed through Yizhou.

Xun Xiao stared at the undulating mountains, the wind blew off his gray cloth hood, and his voice was hoarse, revealing a touch of hatred to the bone: "That scene."

The latter and Beirong should have help in order to make it seamless.

Long

The governor of the state and the Xun family were at odds, since Xun Xiao Xun Xun was born before he existed, and because of the faction, the governor of Longzhou was closer to Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang.

The upper hand is loosened, let the bandits rob the person, and in the process of escaping, he encounters the Beirong people of the grass valley team, and then turns his hand, which makes people sigh but it is not uncommon.

That's why Xun Xiao hates this person behind the scenes so much, and the degree of resentment is no less than Xun Xun!

It's just that Xun Xiaoyi is only stating that it is related to Yizhou, and he does not have the slightest willingness to reveal his emotions. Xun Xiao turned around, Gu Wan couldn't see his face, for a short time, his sharp wheezing calmed down, turned around again, Xun Xiao's side face was cold: "Let's go." ”

The emotions he showed in an instant quickly disappeared without a trace, and he reverted to his unpleasant appearance that was cold and hard with a bit of ridicule.

Gu Wan scratched her head, but she had no intention of discussing it with her, and of course she would not forcibly invade other people's privacy, okay, so she had to continue to pull the horse down the mountain.

She'd better hurry up and see what's going on in Guiyizhou, right?

Their time is not as tight as thanks, but they don't know what the situation is in Yizhou, so it's better to hurry up.

The two pulled the reins through the densely wooded area, reached the halfway point of the mountain, turned over and got on their horses again, and then there was no other nonsense, and went straight to Guiyizhou.

Guiyi Prefecture is a mountainous area, located in the southwest foothills of the Guzang Mountains extending out of a piece, small hills and large ridges undulating, mainly inhabited by the Qiang and Li Te three ethnic groups of the Hu people and their descendants, so many years to reproduce, there have been two or three generations, but I don't know why suddenly to rebel.

Before leaving, Zheng Ying went to look for her privately, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Miss Gu, I don't know why this is happening, you, you.

He is of mixed blood of the Di tribe, although he is not in the Yishan area, but after Xie Shuai, the people of all ethnic groups have returned to their hearts like never before. He was also caught off guard and puzzled.

> Gu Guan patted him on the shoulder: "I'll see it carefully." Zheng Ying nodded gratefully.

She and Xun Xiao went all the way over the mountains and mountains, hurried slowly, and finally arrived in Guiyizhou. During the heavy rain, the two put on their hats and robes, and when they arrived, they abandoned their horses directly, climbed over the mountain beams and quietly crossed the mountain from a position far away from the gate of the village.

Although this is said to be a state, it is actually about the size of a county, and in the sound of the rain, it is quiet, and there are no people. Gu Wan and Xun Xiao glanced at each other, she suddenly became anxious, she wouldn't set off, it couldn't be so early!

The two of them ran wildly, braving the heavy rain along the tall thatched brick houses all the way in, and rushed to the most central clan land and the location of the big cellar warehouse, the two of them suddenly saw a few Beirong men dressed as Han people, and Xun Xiao quickly put them down.

Gu Wan rushed to the warehouse, and after a while, she opened the lock of the warehouse, only to see that it was full of grain that had just been transported from Beirong.

Why is it all of a sudden that it must be Beirong's? In addition to the style, most of them are air-dried beef and mutton unique to the grassland, and there are many more

There were also many young livestock on the very edge, which had just been put into the makeshift pen, squeaked into piles in the rain, and there were freshly put in the forage and some shriveled old grain beside them.

Gu Wan was stunned for a moment, she squatted down, picked up a little old grain and rubbed it, although these chestnut rice are shriveled and small and grow very badly, they can be preserved very well, and the amount put is only enough for the livestock to survive, not much at all, which shows how much the people who put the grain cherish these old grains.

The livestock cubs in front of him are all several mothers and one male, and they are obviously carefully calculated to be very serious and sustainable to raise as domestic animals. Gu Wan faintly seemed to understand a little.

- In the past few years, it has not been good every year, and in the spring there is either heavy water or no rain, and then in the summer, there will be heavy rains for months.

Gu Wan looked out from the door, the terraced fields were sparsely stretched with chestnut seedlings and wheat seedlings, which were washed away by the heavy rain, and many of them had already been pasted to the ground.

Gu Wan came out of the warehouse, walked into a private house, opened the lid of the pot, and found that the pot was fake, the stove was newly hollowed out and there was a nest of seven or eight children hidden, a woman was taking care of them, there was very little dry food and water tank in it, all of them were yellow and thin, and their eyes looked very big. Suddenly he saw the light, and he looked up with a frightened face.

"The bad year in the northwest has lasted for several years, and the relief grain transported from the north of the Yangtze River is available everywhere, but Gui Yizhou has never received a penny, and there has been no harvest in the past two years, and they are so hungry that they can't stand it, so they are taken advantage of by Beirong.

Xun Xiao walked in with a knife, and the blood on the knife had been washed away by the rain, "It has rained heavily in the past two days, and several Beirong people have led them over the mountain to dig an embankment by the river.

br /> It is not easy to transport water in the mountains, but after crossing this mountain, there is a large river of Liangshui, a tributary of Wushui. There are a total of 79,000 men and women over the age of 12 in Guiyizhou, and they have already received the Beirong people to provide them with blades.

And because of the heavy rain in the past two days, the Beirong people took them to dig the embankment, and the geographical location of Guiyizhou is unique, which is the real most lethal one.

The commander of the Northern Army has the power to fight a decisive battle and temporarily recruit these internally relocated Hu people to fight. Just a requisition order, no one expected that Gui Yizhou would turn the gun in the end.

I see.

Gu Wan finally sorted out the reason for this big defeat from beginning to end, "Then what should I do?" Is there any way to resolve it? Shall we stop them from digging the embankment?

She should have been in a hurry, but as soon as Xun Xiao came in, she found that there was a hint of unexplained mockery in his expression. This was the familiar expression on his face when he and Xie Ci looked at Mai Mang.

Gu Guan: ......

Xun Xiao said: "It's too late. ”

So many people, one person and one hoe, can easily dig through the embankment. If there is no accident, these people have stopped at this moment and are waiting for the warplane. And it so coincidentally, if Xie Ci Qin Guan and the others get out smoothly, they will be coming in this direction. There is an unplanned Great Wei army at the unprovoked end, and the Beirong people will definitely be ordered to return to the Yihu tribe to meet them.

Xun Xiao pursed his lips lightly: "There is only one person who can successfully resolve this rebellion in Guiyizhou." ”

Gu Wan understands in seconds, it's a thank you!

In the past, Xie Xinxin treated everyone equally, and the imperial court reformulated the policy to appease the Hu people, and gave them the opportunity to march and make contributions.

Xie Xinxin was gone, and their treatment took a sharp turn for the worse.

Xie Ci is Xie Xinxin's own son, and in the case of Xie Xinxin's unjust death, they will perfectly inherit their will to be grateful to the latter.

But the problem is! Now, Xie Ci knew that there was a rebellion in Guiyizhou, and he was about to stab the Northern Army in the back.

When the two sides meet head-on, what will they do in thanks?

But if he stabs the Guiyi Hu tribe, it will become a mortal death.

"It's too late to deliver the letter now."

Xun Xiao wiped the blade of the sword on the chestnut pole, put the sword back into the sheath, and said, "Guess what he will do?"

He snorted: However, it is still unknown whether he will be able to lead his troops over in time.

Gu Guan: ......"

;

It's cousins, don't you hurt each other like this, he will suffer a big loss if he planted you. Gu Wan rolled her eyes, and she carefully put the lid on the pot so as not to scare the children again. She walked out quickly, "He'll definitely be able to lead his troops." ”

If it was just like this, Gu Wan's heart would go back to his stomach. She adjusted the cylinders of several large locks in the warehouse, and locked the doors and windows from the outside, and the children saw her, so they didn't come out for a day or two.

The heavy rain was pouring down the eaves, Gu Wan stepped into the rain, and her fair and beautiful face showed a confident smile under the hat, "I don't have to guess, Xie Ci will definitely be able to find the clue to recover and return to Yizhou!"

Do you believe it or not?

Leading the horses of the Beirong people, she turned over, and the heavy rain hit her hat, Gu Wan pushed it up with her hand, "Since that's the case, then we can go and meet him."

Gu Guan's confident eyebrows and corners of his eyes were actually a little proud. Xun Xiao raised his eyebrows coldly and sighed, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

"Then you can wait and see!"

Gu Wan sighed, put on the coat of the Beirong people that Xun Xiao threw over, raised the whip, the horse's hooves overturned the muddy water, and rushed towards the direction of the village.

The author has something to say:

Gu Guan: I don't know about the Hui I raised?

Thanks: I want to work hard, I want revenge and turn over to marry a wife!

Xun Xiao: Poor, miserable, no wife~
