The Battle of Wuling

The border of the country of Turtle Whiskers, Wuling.

After half a year of campaigning, the soldiers of Liguo and Turtlebeard have recovered all the land lost by Turtlebeard, and now as long as the army of Beisu is driven out of Wuling, this battle will be considered a complete victory. The soldiers were tired, but their morale was high, because according to the current situation, defeating Beiqi was only a matter of a snap of a finger.

Mu Xize has been sick since last month, hiding in the military tent and not coming out, and he doesn't ask about anything in the army, the soldiers know that Mu Xize has always had a very bad relationship with the general, and it is not surprising that Mu Xize is not sick.

However, Mu Xize was really sick, and he was not lightly ill. His face was pale, and he sat struggling to sit in front of the desk, his forehead still soaked in sweat. Mu Xize felt a little thirsty and was about to pour some tea to drink, but his hands were so shaky that he didn't even have the strength to hold the teapot, Mu Xize looked at the teapot with a very puzzled expression, and then looked at his trembling hands, as if his heart was full of doubts, what disease did he have, and he became so weak that he couldn't even lift a teapot. Mu Xize sighed a little helplessly.

"No, I haven't seen you like this for a few months!" Qin Dabao said in surprise.

Then Qin Dabao walked to Mu Xize's side, and carefully looked at Mu Xize from top to bottom with a teasing look, "Wow, look at this white face, I don't know if I thought it was sprinkled with two catties of flour on it! This sweaty, I don't know if I thought I had just been fished out of the water!" Then Qin Dabao finally showed a serious look, "Why are you so sick, you used to carry a big knife and a spear, but now you can't even lift a kettle!"

"Actually, I don't know, but I feel that my body is a little different from before, and I can't tell what it is. Mu Xize looked at the teapot again and continued: "Yesterday I could still mention it, but today I can't. I felt like there were two forces fighting in my body, as if I was going to tear myself apart. ”

"Aren't you poisoned!" Qin Dabao said and felt that it was not quite right, "No, no, you have learned the art of making poison from my stepfather since you were a child, you can't be poisoned." ”

"Alas, forget it, let's get down to business, I think the military camp in Beifu has been a little quiet these days, but what did you find?" Mu Xize said.

"I haven't found anything out of the ordinary, but your father-in-law has been moving a lot lately. Qin Dabao deliberately poured a cup of tea and drank it leisurely, just to make Mu Xize anxious.

Mu Xize also understood his childishness, and pretended to be very curious and asked, "Then what!"

Qin Dabao smiled happily and continued: "Your father-in-law is sending people to the Beifu military camp to collect evidence of your collusion with the Beifu rebellion!"

Mu Xize's face sank slightly, and then he returned to calm, "Su Zhiwu is very good at leading troops to fight, but people are too simple, he is doing this to treat the slander of his brother as a treasure, but he doesn't know that he sent people to the enemy camp to actually attract the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy!"

"No, the people sent are very cautious, anyway, you didn't collaborate with the enemy, they can't find anything, and now that the war is almost over, they should come back!"

While the two of them were talking, there was a commotion outside the account.

"Get out of the way, let me in!" shouted a woman in a battle robe.

"Princess Danyang, the prince has ordered, no one can go in! Don't embarrass the little ones!" said the soldier in charge of the guards.

"Brother Xize, how are you, Danyang is so worried about you, let me come in and see you!" Princess Danyang shouted at Mu Xize outside the military account.

Mu Xize glanced at Qin Dabao, and then nodded again, Qin Dabao understood what Mu Xize meant, now that Mu Xize is so weak, it is naturally not the strength to shout for the guards to let people in, so let him Qin Dabao do it for him, "Your prince said that he can let Princess Danyang come in!"

Princess Danyang heard that the voices of other people other than Mu Xize came from Mu Xize's tent, and she immediately became angry, pushed away the guards guarding the door, and almost ran into the camp.

"Who are you!" Danyang entered the camp and the first greeting was not Mu Xize, but asked Qin Dabao without a good face.

Qin Dabao has never seen such a girl, her appearance is delicate, but there is a bit of masculinity between her eyebrows, she is really a model of the coexistence of rigidity and softness, and she can't help but look a little stupid.

"I ask you who you are, are you deaf?" Danyang said even more angrily.

"I, my name is Qin Xiao, and I am Mu Xize's friend. Qin Dabao said his real name in front of Danyang, and he stammered a little, and his face was a little red unconsciously.

"Danyang, I'm fine, don't worry. Mu Xize said a little weakly.

"Brother Xi Ze, why are you so ugly, no, you can't stay here any longer, I'll take you back to the Imperial City to find the best doctor of our turtle whiskers to show you!" Danyang said anxiously.

Mu Xize said a little helplessly: "It's fine, but if you bump on the road for two more days, something will really happen!"

Mu Xize saw that Danyang was still holding a silk scroll in his hand, and continued: "Actually, in addition to coming to see me, you also have business, right, if you had said that you had something to do with me just now, you wouldn't have been stopped by the guards for so long." ”

"In my eyes, your safety is more important than anything else!" Danyang said with love in his eyes.

Danyang handed over the silk scroll to Mu Xize, "In the past six months, Dali has done too much for the turtle beard, and my imperial brother wants to provide some monetary compensation for the relatives of the soldiers who died in the battle, but this matter is a matter of the two countries after all, the imperial brother has already stamped the national seal of our turtle whisker on this silk scroll, and then stamped your royal seal." ”

Mu Xize nodded, then found a very delicate small wooden box, and the moment he took out the box, Mu Xize's face changed, and he opened the box with a hint of panic, but saw that the Wang Yin that should have been placed in the box was gone.

For a while, several emotions flashed in Mu Xize's eyes, but he calmed down in an instant, and said casually: "It's that I forgot, some time ago, I handed over the Wang Yin to my subordinates to deal with affairs, and I haven't returned it yet, I'm afraid it will take a few days to compensate the soldiers." ”

At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside the account, and there was a faint sound of fighting and the screams of soldiers before they died. The soldiers outside Mu Xize's camp tent ran into the camp tent in a panic and said: "Lord Wang, it's not good, the Beifu army is attacking in a big way, and it is the vanguard of General Su who led me to leave the army with the Beisu army to attack our military camp!"

Mu Xize put on his battle robe and said: "It seems that there are traitors in our army, Su Zhiwu is estimated to be more auspicious now, I will go to the battle, Danyang, you and Qin Xiao hurry up in the imperial city to find your brother to move the rescue soldiers." ”

"Brother Xi Ze, let's go together, it's too dangerous here, I can't leave you behind!" Danyang almost cried.

Mu Xize made a look, Qin Xiao immediately understood, and forcibly carried Danyang out of the barracks.

Then, Mu Xize fought his way out of the encirclement with hundreds of personal soldiers, hoping to find out Su Zhiwu's whereabouts. The road was full of corpses of Dali soldiers, and a moment ago I imagined that I would be able to reunite my wife and children in a few days, but I didn't expect that in just a moment, it would be separated forever.

Traitor, who is a traitor, Mu Xize thought while fighting, according to his understanding of Su Zhiwu, he would never be able to commit treason, so who else knows that the deployment of our army can still have the right to command sergeants, Mu Xize thought about a person, Su Zhiwu's best friend Jiang Wei.

The most chilling thing for Mu Xize is the person who stole the king's seal, Qin Mingyue, the master of Mingyue Pavilion, Qin Xiao's father-in-law, his master, most of his skills in this body were taught by his master, during his illness, except for Qin Xiao, only his master came to his camp, and he always thought that the master was concerned about his body, but he didn't expect that he had other plans.

The south of Wuling, the shore of the Wei River.

Su Zhiwu and the only remaining hundreds of soldiers were fighting hard with the Beifu army, the original indestructible battle armor became dilapidated due to the punctures of countless swords, and several knife wounds on Su Zhiwu's body were still oozing blood.

"Jiang Wei, I treat you well, why did you betray me!" Su Zhiwu said with great resentment.

"Betrayal? When did I, Jiang Wei, betray General Su, didn't General Su order Jiang Wei to take my Dali vanguard to open the way for Beifu's army? Didn't General Su say that when Beisu captured the turtle whisker, he would be able to become the lord of the turtle whisker, and I, Jiang Wei, would also become the prince and noble?" Jiang Wei said with a sinister smile.

"When did I say that, and you don't want to slander me!"

"The fine work you sent to Beisu has been captured by me, and they have already admitted that you collaborated with Beisu and betrayed the country, fortunately, I, Jiang Wei, am loyal and courageous, how can I see that you have succeeded in rebellion, today I will do the right thing for heaven, kill you, the traitor who plotted rebellion, and avenge the dead soldiers!"

Su Zhiwu no longer spoke, just fought hard, but his heart was endlessly sad, thinking that he was fighting a horse, making countless achievements, only thinking about defending his family and the country, and doing his duty, but he didn't want to be betrayed by his most trusted brother, money and interests are always more important than righteousness? Is the human heart really unfathomable?

Su Zhiwu struggled against the soldiers in front of him, but let the air behind him, when he reacted, he saw a long knife had been cut towards him, just when Su Zhiwu closed his eyes and waited for death, the long knife actually fell to the ground, and then the soldier with the knife screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and stared at the boss before he died, as if he couldn't believe the ending of this reversal.

Su Zhiwu fixed his eyes and saw that the person who saved himself from the knife turned out to be Mu Xize. What a ridiculous joke it is, the person who is least likely to save himself saves himself, and the person he trusts the most wants to kill himself.

"Why did you save me?"

"Because I love Xiao Su. Mu Xize's pale face showed a faint smile, and then he fell to his knees due to physical exhaustion.

"I was wrong, I listened to Jiang Wei's slander and mistakenly thought that you were going to rebel, sent someone to investigate you, and thought that you said that you were sick because you were determined to oppose me!" Su Zhiwu held Mu Xize's arm, and said with self-reproach and remorse.

Mu Xize broke free of Su Zhiwu's hand, reluctantly stood up and said, "I'm not sick, I just have to sincerely fight against you to call myself sick." Then he slashed the soldiers who wanted to kill Su Zhiwu.

"Why does His Royal Highness King Ning have to go to this troubled water, in this way, you can only be Su Zhiwu's funeral!" Jiang Wei said with a fierce look on his face, "Archer, release the arrow!"

In an instant, the sky slipped into hundreds of bows and arrows, and for a while it seemed to be raining black, Mu Xize and Su Zhiwu kept using the knives in their hands to resist the flying arrows, resisting a burst of Su Zhiwu felt that his arm was numb, and his movements were slower, only to see dozens of arrows flying towards him in unison, at this critical moment, Mu Xize actually pounced on him, but he saw that Mu Xize's face became very painful, and a large mouthful of blood protruded from his mouth, and the arrows that should have been shot at him actually hit Mu Xize's body, and one of the arrows shot into Mu Xize's heart impartially。

Su Zhiwu shouted: "King Ning, King Ning!"

Mu Xize slowly closed his eyes and lost his breath.

Su Zhiwu and the remnants of his own soldiers resisted like crazy, but they were surprised to find that Mu Xize, who had already been killed by an arrow, stood up at this moment, his body was surrounded by a red halo, his eyes turned red, and the corners of his mouth showed an evil smile.

National Teacher's House.

Ji Beiyuan was originally meditating in the side hall, but at this moment, he suddenly spat blood from his mouth, and his face was frightened, "Oh no, Mu Xize's seal has been lifted!"
