Huan Xuan got on his horse outside the gate of the Thorn Shi Mansion and walked towards the courtyard on the thick ice and snow.

Yuan Yuan's meaningful words hovered in his ears: Guess, who is Sandalwood?

Sandalwood is handsome, it's Xie Zhan. But does this truth come to the fore? Huan Xuan is difficult to assert, but in the past few days, there have been more and more people watching near the courtyard, and every time he goes out of the city, the inspection has become more and more strict, and Yuan Xuan must have been very suspicious of him.

After all, the whole world knows about his friendship with Xie Zhan, if Xie Zhan is secretly manipulating everything and severely damaging the sandalwood handsome of the country, who can believe that he, the general of the country, has no knowledge and has not participated in the slightest?

There was a sudden cry for help in the distance, Huan Xuan turned around, and an old man with gray hair was stumbling out of the gate. The gate kicked open from inside, and a few northerner soldiers chased him out of the courtyard, pulling him by the hair. Huan Xuan recognized one of them, Lu Biao, who once won a competition with Yu Zhao on the school field, and later followed the 20,000 Eastern Army to the first fierce general of the Eastern Army under his command.

The screams stopped suddenly, maybe they were gagged, maybe they were ......

Huan Xuan stepped forward immediately, and saw the old man falling to the ground through the half-hidden door, the ice and snow and muddy water rolled his head and face, Lu Biao stepped on his chest with one foot, and asked viciously: "Say, where is the grain hidden?" Otherwise, yes, kill your whole family! ”

Huan Xuan kicked the door open.

Several people in the courtyard were all startled, Lu Biao hurriedly withdrew his foot, and dragged the old man up: "General, we, let's go around casually, it's okay." ”

"Wandering around?" Huan Xuan entered the door, closed the sheath of the big knife, pushed him away and looked at the old man, "They robbed you of your food?" ”

"General, help!" The old man trembled and knelt down, "They robbed all the remaining half buckets of wheat at home, and insisted that I still hid it, tied up my family□□ I will pay the grain, the Buddha and Bodhisattva are on it, and the house has long been unable to open the pot, and there has been no fire for two days!" ”

Huan Xuan looked at them one by one with cold eyes, and several soldiers all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, only Lu Biao stared at him with two ringed eyes and a look of disbelief. Huan Xuan knew why they went into the city to grab food, the weather has been very cold recently, and there is a shortage of food in the army, and the black cavalry can only distribute half of the rations for a few days, but the black cavalry is strictly disciplined, and these eastern troops are arrogant, so it is inevitable that they will have other ideas.

looked condescendingly: "Lu Biao, what do you have to say?" ”

"I," Lu Biao suddenly became angry, and argued in a loud voice, "I have never killed or eaten people, so what's wrong with asking this Nanban dog to ask for food?" ”

"Whoever plunders the people's wealth, twenty rods." Huan preached, "All of them were tied up and executed on the spot." ”

The guards stepped forward to arrest people, and Lu Biao picked up the golden nail lance: "I see who dares!" ”

He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Huan Xuan, what's wrong with us grabbing some food?" Why don't you care about He Lantao, and your Mu family's baby son-in-law, they kill people and eat people, what do you say? ”

Huan Xuan's face sank. Since Yuan Lu ordered the rectification of military discipline, he has ruthlessly rectified a group of people and disposed of a few leaders, and now the army has greatly improved, is there still such a thing behind the scenes? "What do you know?"

"The Helan family, as well as the nephews and brothers of the Mu family, are all in the mansion of the general of the Chengnan Protector Army," Lu Biao sneered, "You can go and see it." If you dare to clean them up, then I have nothing to say, if you want to kill or chop as you like, if you don't dare to care about them, you won't come to me to pretend to be like! ”

Huan Xuan didn't say a word, turned around and went out.

He knew that Mu Wan's sons and nephews often gathered over there, and there were also Helan clan's sons and nephews, he never participated, because he didn't know what was going on inside, and he couldn't hold it down when others went, so he had to take a look in person.

"General," Wang Shu rushed over from the other side, "I have raised fifty carts of grain and grass, and a few carts of winter clothes, do you want to send them down immediately?" ”

"It's done." Huan Xuan didn't stop, patting the horse and walking.

Wang Shu hesitated, and then caught up again: "The Eastern Army, is it the same as the black horse?" ”

The black cavalry is a henchman, and the Eastern Army is only temporarily attached, and most of them will be returned to Yuanrong after leaving Yanzhou. At present, the grain is as precious as gold, and the other armies will distribute food from distant and close relatives, and those who are close to the descendants will be given more money, and those who are distant will be given less, that is, more will be given to the black horsemen, and those eastern troops will not dare to say anything.

Huan Xuan glanced at him: "It's the same." ”

Wang Shu knew that he had always disliked favoritism the most, so he had to respond, and hurriedly went out of the city with his officials to make arrangements.

Huan Xuan's horse passed through the streets and alleys, and he glimpsed a desolate scene everywhere, and there were people who died in the mud every other while, the side of the road was bare, not to mention that there were no birds and beasts, and even the bark of trees had been stripped a lot, and the lack of food and clothing in the city was already very serious.

Only Jingguo Army is not lacking. Not only is there no shortage, but every time they attack these days, they are still well-dressed and well-equipped, and they can see that the Dai Jun is angry and frustrated. But this is unreasonable, the battle line of the Jingguo Army is so long, the supply can only be more difficult than the Dai Guojun, and it is definitely impossible to have such an abundant appearance, unless, Xie Zhan deliberately wants to leave this impression on them.

Sandalwood's handsome trick. Pretending that the abundant supply will put pressure on the Dai Jun and make the Dai Jun lose confidence, so that as long as Jing Guo intends to negotiate peace, the Dai Guo will immediately agree, and the terms of the peace will also be compromised.

If you look at it this way, Xie Zhan really wants to negotiate peace. As for why he can guess a few points. Xie Zhan understands very well that at present, the strength of the two countries is not enough to swallow each other in one bite, and forcing it will only hurt both sides, and in the end it is the people who suffer, and now they will negotiate peace on the condition of several big victories, in exchange for a few years or even more than ten years of peace, and then use this time to recuperate, so that the people and soldiers of the Southern Dynasty can have a chance to take a breath.

Xie Zhan has always been like this, even if Yanzhou is close at hand, even if he goes further, he may avenge the blood revenge of killing his father and seizing the city, but for the sake of the overall situation, he can let it go.

She and him may also be part of Xie Zhan's overall situation that has been abandoned.

Raising his eyes and seeing the vermilion glazed tiles of the Mu family, Huan Xuan bypassed the front door, found an unguarded fence in the backyard, and jumped up.

Condescendingly, the situation inside can be seen clearly, there are many corpses thrown in the bamboo forest, many of which are mutilated, a row of several rooms on the side are tightly locked doors, there are soldiers guarding outside, you can hear the cry of the women inside, there are drums and laughter and shouting in the distance, it should be the children of the Mu family and the people of the Helan clan in the front yard together to eat, drink and play.

Huan Xuan jumped down with a calm face and made a color to Chen Wan, Chen Wan understood, and immediately led the guards over the wall, and the soldiers guarding the door were already put down and restrained before they had time to shout, Huan Xuan urged the horse to the front alone, and kicked the door open.

Barracks outside the city.

Lu Biao was escorted back to the camp by the guards, complaining: "If he has the ability to clean up the Mu family and the Helan family, yes will kneel."

Come and his board! I am so hungry that I have to fight all day long, the Eastern Army, the Chinese Army, which one does not rob? Only we are honest, and we will not rob if we starve to death! ()”

"General,? ()"Come[]_See the latest chapter_ full chapters』()"A subordinate ran in from outside," and "The food and clothes are being distributed outside!" ”

Lu Biao stood up with a snort, and went to the front of the tent to see, there were grain bags piled up outside, and there were many winter clothes, Wang Shu was in the center, and the chief officials of each department were leading people to collect them in order, and it seemed that they were all black horses, Lu Biao scolded with a loud voice: "He's yes, let's go here to work hard, what are we!" In the past, in the Eastern Army, their descendants had to pinch their food and drink, and we only had leftovers, but now we can't even eat leftovers here, these pigs and dogs, yes yes already knows! ”

Before the words fell, Wang Shu was heard shouting: "Lu Biao." ”

Seeing that he was holding the number plate in his hand to distribute food, Lu Biao was stunned for a long time, and rushed out with an arrow: "Here!" ”

The grain officer counted and distributed according to the number, and the Eastern Army happily pushed the cart and checked the bags and moved them up, Lu Biao was happy and suspicious, and walked around the black horse with his hands behind his back, and then looked at the number on their number plates, and suddenly felt shocked that it was the same as his.

Where is the heart willing to believe? The black rider is Huan Xuan's lineage, how can he lead the same as the black rider? Seeing that he successively called the black cavalry and the various departments of the Eastern Army to lead it, he asked his subordinates to go over to check, and they all came back after a short time: "General, all the departments are the same, they are all according to human hair!" ”

Lu Biao was stunned: "What did you say?" ”

"It's all the same, we and the black rider, we are all according to human hair!"

Lu Biao was completely stunned, his heart was churning, his face was blue and red for a while, and when he raised his eyes, Huan Xuan was coming back from outside with someone with a cold expression: "The brothers of the Mu family and the Helan clan have robbed the people's property, killed people, and have been handed over to Tingwei to report to His Majesty for punishment, and it should be yours now." ”

Lu Biao gritted his teeth and knelt in the mud with a plop: "I confess!" But these brothers are at my command, and I will bear their boards! ”

After a long time, I heard Huan preach: "Okay, there are four people including you, eighty boards." ”

Bang, bang, a dull hitting sound sounded, Lu Biao gritted his teeth and endured it, and when he lowered his sight, he saw the corners of Huan Xuan's dark robe flickering, and went to Wang Shu.

"Duke Ming," Wang Shu finally finished sending supplies, and as he went to the Chinese military tent, "these are only enough for half a month, and you have to withhold the envoys, and it is really difficult to raise them now." ”

After a long time, I heard Huan Xuan speak, but what he said was irrelevant: "You say, will he come?" ”

Wang Shu looked up and saw him looking into the distance with his thick eyebrows locked

, his eyes were heavy, and he suddenly reacted that he was talking about Xie Zhan, and hesitated: "My subordinates think that they will come." ”

Yes, Huan Xuan actually thinks so, but he is always unwilling, and he always has to ask others for confirmation.

How could Xie Zhan not come. He had been planning for so many years, for this moment. Yuan Zhen said that Sandalwood Shuai would not negotiate peacefully if he didn't come, how could Xie Zhan give up this opportunity that he had worked hard for so many years.

Even if it appears, it will put him in a situation from which he will never recover.

Asked in a low voice, "When will the Black Rider arrive?" ”

"It's going to take a day or two, it's cold, the road is too difficult to walk, and you have to check all the checkpoints." Wang Shu paid attention to the movements around him, "Ming Gong has thought of a way out?" ”

"Go back to Six Towns." Huan preached.

As soon as Xie Zhan arrived, he

() He couldn't argue, even Fan Liang wouldn't help him anymore. The Helan clan and the eldest princess's mansion have long regarded him as a mortal enemy, and today they have captured the Mu brothers and established a strong enemy, which is really embattled. Back to the six towns, where he has been rectifying for many years and has a solid foundation, he will never be tied back when he goes back to the six towns to retreat and advance. "Send the lady away first."

"Difficult." Wang Shu quickly replied, "These days outside the Heavenly Mansion should be for the sake of the lady." ”

Huan Xuan was silent. It's very difficult, and everyone knows that Fu Yunwan is his weakness right now. A person who licks blood with a knife head really shouldn't have any weakness, and he really shouldn't let this weakness be exposed so thoroughly, but one thing after another, what's the point of talking about it now. It should be Yuan Lu who is staring, but it is not excluded that the people of the Helan clan and the princess's mansion know that if they hold Fu Yunwan, they will have a sharp weapon to deal with him.

"Find a way." Huan preached.

In any case, he would have left with her unscathed. Back to Liuzhen, that is his territory, where no one can hurt her, and where it is far away from Jiangdong mountains and rivers, Xie Zhan will never be able to pull her heartstrings again.

Wang Shu frowned and thought for a long time: "Li Daitao's plan, how about using it again?" ”

After dark, Mu House.

Mu Wan was discussing today's matter with his staff, and as soon as the thick felt curtain clicked, the eldest princess of Anhe walked in quickly: "All retreat." ”

Several staff members quickly retreated, and the eldest princess of Anhe sat down on the couch: "The emperor has personally dealt with it." ”

Mu Wan's heart jumped: "What do you say?" ”

"He Lantao is the mastermind, beheaded, Mu Long and Mu Hu are accomplices, demoted to the common people and distributed to Youzhou, and the remaining few take office." The eldest princess of Anhe's face tightened, "Your precious son, he is deliberately letting us all die!" ”

Mu Long and Mu Hu are the two sons born to Mu Wan and Mrs. Xiantou, and Mu Wan scolded with red eyes at the moment: "This little pig dog, yes, I'm going to kill him!" ”

"Did you get it? The wings are stiff, and if you fight, you may be able to cut you with a knife. The eldest princess of Anhe looked at him coldly, "I just got a piece of news, let's see if I can clean him up this time." ”

"What's the news?" Mu Wan asked anxiously.

"I can't trust you, I'm afraid you'll tell him," the eldest princess of Anhe stood up, "if you turn to him again this time, let someone else do the title of this colt." ”

Mu Wan was shocked, and when he heard a click, the eldest princess of Anhe left.

After a while, Mu Wan called his henchman: "Keep an eye on the princess." ”

Xie Family Annex.

Wang Shu approached with a lantern and closed the door: "The girl said that she wanted to serve that day, I don't know if she still wants to do this?" ”

"Yes." Fu Jiao hurriedly stood up from the couch, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Maybe there is a fear for her life, and the girl is willing to do it?" Wang Shu asked.

"This," Fu Jiao was taken aback, "how much life is there?" ”

"It's hard to say, half and half." Wang Shu said, "If the girl goes well this time, the general is willing to ensure that the girl has no worries for a lifetime, that is, if you want to enter the palace, the general will also help you achieve your wish." ”

Fu Jiao lowered her head for a while: "Since the price is so big, then I want to add some chips." I want my mother to leave the Fu family, and from now on I don't have to worry about my life, food and clothing, I don't know if the general is willing to agree? ”

"Don't report it, this matter can be promised to you within the scope of my authority." Wang Shu turned

Leave, "Girl, have a good rest these days, and I'll call you then." ”

The door opened and closed, the cold air seeped in, Fu Jiao hugged her arms tightly, and let out a long breath. Wealth is in danger, and if you want to get out of the predicament, you can only fight for your life and gamble.

Rooms.

Fu Yunwan heard the footsteps outside the door from far and near, not like Huan Xuan, but faintly expecting that it was him, he hurriedly stood up and heard a gentle voice: "Fu Niangzi." ”

It's not Huan Xuan, it's Wang Shu.

With an indescribable melancholy in his heart, Ah Jin opened the door and retreated, Wang Shu replied through the screen: "There are changes in the city, maybe you have to leave in the next few days, the general ordered his subordinates to inform the lady, so that they can be prepared." ”

Fu Yunwan hurriedly asked, "General, are you leaving?" ”

Wang Shu paused, she didn't ask where to go, only asked Huan Xuan if she would go, as long as Huan Xuan was with her, she could go anywhere. For a while, I couldn't tell Huan Xuan if he wanted to tell her all his whereabouts, so he said vaguely: "The general is still arranging." ”

Fu Yunwan was stunned, there were many words on his lips, and he didn't know what to say, so he was stunned: "Then, please join the army to remind him to change the medicine on time." ”

Outside the screen, Wang Shu said goodbye respectfully and withdrew. Ah Jin walked back and repacked the brazier, covered it with a smoked cage, and Fu Yunwan came close to warm up, unconsciously sighing.

In the past, he came back in person to say important things, but now let Wang Shu pass the word, probably because he really can't spare his efforts, so he is injured, and I don't know when he can afford to change the dressing.

Outside the window, the north wind was howling, guarding the brazier, thinking about what he was doing at this time? Does the wound still hurt? Where does he want her to go, will he go with her? I still remember the thrilling journey last time, and I don't know what I will experience along the way this time. Unconsciously, I thought about it stupidly.

Outside the city, the Black Cavalry barracks.

Huan Xuan was busy until the third time before returning to the Chinese military tent, and Wang Shu was waiting there: "It's all arranged." ”

Huan Xuan's jaw was headed: "When the black rider arrives, he will leave immediately." ”

Calculate the time, if Xie Zhan is fast, he will be able to go to Yanzhou in three or four days, and send her away before Xie Zhan, he will deal with it here, and he will rush to meet her when the time comes.

"Fu Niangzi told Ming Gong to change the dressing on time." Wang Shu said again.

Huan Xuan was stunned, and slowly gave birth to a trace of sweetness in his heart.

It spread so fast that after a while, all the limbs and bones felt soft, as if they were about to float, and there was a smile on their lips: "I told her that I know." ”

Wang Shu glanced at him and couldn't help but look at him again. It's a little scary, it's the first time I've been smiling like this for so long, it's so unaccustomed. "Yes."

I said goodbye and was about to leave, and when I got to the door, the tent door was opened, and Huan Xuan chased him out again: "Let the doctor come and change the medicine for me." ”

Wang Shu had no choice but to respond again: "Yes." ”

In the middle of the night, the healer was afraid that he would have already gone to sleep. It's not an emergency, but at this time it woke people up from the bed. He reminded him to change the dressing so many times, Huan Xuan never remembered it, Fu Niangzi said a word, and he had to change it even if he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Wang Shu sighed secretly, gave an order, and the attendant ran away.

Huan Xuan went back to the tent, just sat down and bounced up, everything was done, it's okay to rush back to see her at this time, right? Striding to the door of the tent, one foot went out and suddenly stopped, rushing back for fear that it would take another quarter of an hour, she had a regular schedule, she must have fallen asleep a long time ago, and it was not good for her to be noisy.

Hurriedly walked back again, saw the candle burst on the ground, dripping a few candle tears, and unconsciously remembered the situation when the candle burned out that night, the fire in my heart burned, I got up and just walked to the door of the tent, the lantern outside flickered, and the doctor came: "General, the servant has come to change the medicine." ”

Huan Xuan had to sit still according to his temperament, and watched him unpack and clean it lightly. Why is it so slow, so slow that people are dying. When it's done, it's not more than half of the third watch, and it's almost the fourth watch when she gets home, and it's too late anyway to wake her up.

For a while, my heart turned a thousand times, and finally made up my mind, waiting for tomorrow, even if I was busy tomorrow, I must find time to go back to see her.

I got up before dawn the next day, quickly packed up and walked out the door, and went back just in time for her to get up, maybe there was still time...... There was a smile in his eyes, and he just let her see that he had changed the medicine, and he remembered her advice.

"Duke Ming," Wang Shu hurried over, "the Jingguo delegation has arrived." ”

Huan Xuan stopped, the smile disappeared, turned on his horse, and galloped towards the city gate.

The cold sun of the morning shone on the frozen moat, the gates were wide open, and a procession was walking inside. Huan Xuan set his horse and stood still, and among the countless flags and people, he saw the four-wheeled cart covered by green yarn at a glance.

Xie Zhan, he's here!
