A cold wind blew, and he looked directly into the collar with a cold whizz, Huan Xuan came back to his senses, realized that he had been staring at the mountain for too long, and hurriedly turned back.

"Ming Gong," someone called at the bottom of the mountain, it was Wang Shu who got the news and rushed to meet him overnight, "why don't you go back to the city?" It's too shabby here. ”

"I'll come back after Xie Langjun is buried." Huan Xuan calmed down, "How is Jingzhong doing?" ”

"I'm still looking for Mrs. Fu everywhere, once the guards chased me here, but fortunately, Ming Gong arranged it carefully and didn't let them find out." Wang Shu greeted him and followed him one step behind, "But since Ming Gong lives here, I'm afraid the news won't be able to be hidden." ”

"I know, with me, the emperor won't touch her openly." Huan Xuan walked quickly to the tent, opened the tent door and entered, "Have you arranged the matter of returning to the south?" After the burial, he sent her away. ”

The tent was empty, only a bed and a couch, the mountains were colder than the city, and the tent that was temporarily erected was even colder, Wang Shu knew that his temperament had always been how to save trouble and how to come, and he never paid attention to pomp, so he had to brush the couch for him: "Ming Gong, please." ”

Huan Xuan sat down cross-legged, and Wang Shu sat at the end to accompany him: "It is precisely for this matter that I rushed to report to Ming Gong, and the recent situation in the south is a little wrong." ”

"How?" Huan Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Ming Gong, please take a look." Wang Shu took out the map from his sleeve and unfolded it, pointing to the prefectures and counties near the Yangtze River, "Jiankang has been adjusting the deployment of troops recently, and the news is very tight, and it took me a lot of effort to find out a few points, but I can't know the details." ”

Jiankang, the capital of Jingguo, the deployment of troops has always been personally inquired about by Emperor Jing, and if there is no major reason, it will not be moved easily. Huan Xuan looked at the Zhu point on behalf of Jiankang on the south side of the Yangtze River, what was the reason for Emperor Jing to adjust Jiankang's troops?

"Then there are Qinzhou, Hezhou, Jingzhou, and even Bazhou and Jingzhou, which have recently moved," Wang Shu rowed down the Yangtze River, "The conflicts between the southerners and the officials are also more frequent than before, and the dock forts in some places have been rebuilt. ”

Hezhou, Bazhou, and Jingzhou are all states and counties that Jingguo has lost in the past ten years, and the location is not only critical, but also the territory that the southerners have operated for many years. Wubao is a walled city built by the southerners to resist the northerners, with high walls and thick walls, covering a vast area, the southerners gather in it to live together, store grain and soldiers, and also made the northerners have a headache back then. Huan Xuan groaned, intuition that there was something in it. It's just that one or two states and counties have changed, so many important states and counties have changed together, plus the mobilization of Jiankang's troops - in the past, during the Northern Expedition of Jingguo, there was such a weather. "What does the DPRK say?"

"The Five Soldiers Shangshu made a special recital for this matter a few days ago, but the emperor hasn't been to the court much these days, so he shouldn't have seen it yet." Wang Shu shook his head, "The emperor has a new favorite recently, he is the daughter of the Fu family, and he has just been crowned a beauty, so I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of the court for a while." ”

The Fu family sent two daughters into the palace, which one was it? Huan Xuan's intuition was Fu Jiao, although he had only met once, he remembered her, she looked delicate and harmless, and coaxed Fu Yunwan back to the Fu family in three or two sentences, and she could answer in front of him without leaking, she was not a simple woman. Only this kind of person can survive in the palace, if it is Fu Yunwan's simple and gentle temperament, I am afraid that he will not be able to live a day in the palace.

"Or Fu Niangzi's affairs will be slowed down?" Wang Shu noticed that he was a little distracted, and glanced at him, "I'll talk about it when the situation is clear." ”

Huan Xuan's eyes flashed Fu Yunwan's melancholy face. It is safer to wait, but in the days of waiting, she is afraid that she will have to add a lot of sadness. You'll have to think of something to cheer her up. Since she admired her mother's manuscripts, she might as well encourage her to write them as well: "You can find some books that can be used to compile history, or notes from close friends, and then ask the southerners if there are any famous scholars who have compiled history." ”

Wang Shu paused, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded: "Yes." ”

pondering his intentions in his heart, he said: "There is another thing, more than ten days ago, someone suspected of Liu Zhi appeared in Hezhou. ”

Huan Xuan's face sank. Liu Zhi disappeared on the day he left Beijing, and from this point of view, Liu Zhi and the fire in the mourning hall were even inseparable from Xie Zhan's death: "Did Xun Yuan collude with him?" ”

"No," Wang Shu shook his head, "The subordinates have tried it, and they have also been secretly monitored, Xun Yuan should not know Liu Zhi's whereabouts, and he has been looking for him everywhere." ”

Huan Xuan didn't speak, he thought of countless possibilities in his mind, and ruled them out one by one. Liu Zhi followed Xie Zhan when he was seven or eight years old, and he has tried his best for many years regardless of life and death, and he is extremely filial to Xun Yuan, how much temptation will it be that he can betray Xie Zhan and abandon his mother? looked at the map and ordered: "Send more people to search carefully along the Hezhou area, and you must find Liu Zhi." ”

He had a faint premonition that Liu Zhi's abnormal behavior should be related to the abnormal movements along the river, and if he found Liu Zhi, he would find the answer.

Wang Shu agreed, and said: "During the day, General Limu, the eldest princess, and the county lord of Anping all went to wait for Ming Gong in front of the city gate, and the county lord of Anping has been looking for Ming Gong everywhere. ”

Mu Wan, what is he going to do. Huan Xuan lowered his eyelids and only looked at the map, and said after a while: "Don't pay attention to it." ”

Having said that, my mood finally made waves, thinking of my mother for a while, remembering the situation in Yanzhou when I was a child, and thinking of the situation when I saw Mu Wan in Yanzhou City. In the end, I can't concentrate on my deliberations. Pushing through the map: "You go and rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

After Wang Shu left, Huan Xuan folded his clothes and lay down, the winter night was cold, he hadn't fallen asleep for a long time with his heart, and suddenly thought of Fu Yunwan again, did she sleep at this time? On such a cold day, her body is thin, but she can still eat?

Fu Yun got up as soon as it was dawn.

Hurriedly washed up and rushed to the Buddha hall, standing under the corridor and looking, outside the wall is the continuous mountains, the farthest top is piled with ice and snow that has not melted, towering into the sky alone, is it Kunyu Peak? The direction that Huan Xuan pointed out to her last night was vaguely there.

There were footsteps outside the door, followed by Huan Xuan's voice: "Brother and sister." ”

Fu Yunwan turned around, and he walked towards her quickly: "Have you eaten?" ”

I didn't feel that it was dark last night, but at this time the sky was bright, his tall body with shadows, and suddenly approached like a cliff, Fu Yunwan couldn't help but start to be afraid again: "I, I'm not hungry." ”

"Whether you're hungry or not, it's a meal, and you have to eat it." Huan Xuan looked at her, the chopping was wide, the cuffs and hem were empty, and it was obvious that it would not be warm, "I'll ask someone to send some charcoal over, and the clothes will be remade." ”

Fu Yunwan didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this, and when he was stunned, he heard the noise in the distance, and Duan Xiang quickly came over: "General, the county lord of Anping is here." ”

Halfway up the mountain, Helan Zhen was stopped by the guards and whipped angrily: "Get out of the way!" I'm coming to find my brother, what are you guys who dare to stop me? ”

"Stop!" Hearing Huan Xuan's voice in his ears, Helan Zhen looked up and saw Huan Xuan walking briskly along the mountain road. The early morning sun held up a layer of pale golden brilliance behind him, he was so tall and majestic, it was simply the Veda Bodhisattva in the grotto who came to life, Helan really felt his heart pounding, and waved to him urgently: "Brother, I'm here!" ”

Huan Xuan stopped: "Go back, don't run this way without me." ”

Helan was stunned. This is completely different from what she thought, they haven't seen each other for so long, he should be happy, why is he not smiling at all, doesn't he want to see her? No, it can't be, she must be mistaken. Hurriedly said: "I won't go back, I have something important to look for you!" ”

"What's the matter?" He stood still on the mountain path and asked her.

I almost blurted out the words in my heart, but I couldn't help it in the end. There are people everywhere, how can you tell him? Helan Zhen blushed: "You let them all retreat, I, I'll tell you alone." ”

Huan Xuan waved his hand back from the guard: "Say it." ”

A thousand words were blocked in his throat, and Helan was really trembling, looking at him fixedly.
