There was not a single noise in the silent night, and the guests in the courtyard had dispersed early, and the original mess was now spotlessly cleaned under the hard work of the people.

At this time, Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er were both dressed in red wedding dresses and sat on the bed in their own room, quietly waiting for the arrival of their lover.

Chu Mofeng stood in the center of the four-span courtyard, originally thinking of going to Li Yuhu's room first, but when he walked to the door, he hesitated, and the hand that had been pressed on the door was gently taken away.

Li Yuhu's personal maid in the room saw Chu Mofeng standing at the door through the crack in the door, and hurriedly returned to the bedroom and said to Li Yuhu: "Madam, the master is standing at the door, I don't know why I don't come in." ”

The corners of Li Yuhu's mouth under the hijab raised slightly: "You girl, if the master doesn't come in, he must be entangled in whether to come to our side first or go to Sister Ling'er's side first, it's okay." ”

"Then madam, let's make up some food first, you haven't eaten much since you got up this morning," Yi Yiyan nodded, picked up a plate of delicate dim sum from the table and handed it to Li Yuhu.

And at the crack in the door of the opposite wing, there was also a pair of smart eyes carefully watching Chu Mofeng in the courtyard, only to hear Hua Ling'er's crisp voice coming from the house: "Momo, has our master entered Sister Feng'er's room?"

Momo, who was lying at the door, pursed her lips, turned around and walked into the bedroom and said, "Madam, our master stopped outside the third lady's house, and I don't know what's wrong, so I didn't enter the house for a long time." ”

With a delicate red hijab, Hua Ling'er's face hidden under the hijab showed a trace of sorrow, and she said slowly by the faint candlelight: "I think when our master married Sister Shuang'er and Sister Zi Yao entered the door, it was estimated that the same scene was the same at the night of the cave room, so let's wait quietly." ”

Chu Mofeng, who was wandering outside the door, didn't know that his every move was being watched at this time, walked to the center of the four courtyards, looked up at the thick night, and for a while Chu Mofeng didn't know what to do, and when he was meditating, the door of Shi Hanshuang's room suddenly opened.

I saw Shi Hanshuang walk out of the house accompanied by Mu Mu, and came straight to Chu Mofeng, and said with a smile: "I said General Chu, what do you mean by being in the courtyard all the time for half a day?"

Seeing the eldest lady in the mansion teasing herself, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "I said Shuang'er, didn't you ask knowingly?

"Yes, it's like, how powerful your General Chu is, everyone marries one at a time, you can do it, marry two at a time, and there are six more in the three courtyards, what are you going to do?" Hearing her husband say that it was difficult to choose, Shi Hanshuang's face was cold, and he said coldly: "If it's not a good choice, it's better to combine the two into one, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

A hint of jealousy could still be heard from his eldest wife's tone, and Chu Mofeng didn't care that Mu Mu was still beside him, and took Shi Hanshuang into his arms and said, "Silly daughter-in-law, are you unhappy?"

"No, how can I be unhappy? Your marriage means that the family is prosperous, which is a good thing, but your mother has sent me and Ziyao several times to urge me to reply. Leaning on Chu Mofeng's arms, Shi Hanshuang raised a green jade finger and stroked his chest, and said quietly.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Shi Hanshuang pushed Chu Mofeng away, and said with a smile: "I said General Chu, your old man should choose here slowly, and people will go to Ziyao's room to talk." After speaking, he turned around and said, "Mu Mu, let's go, don't hinder the beautiful scenery of the flowers and candles in our master's cave room." After speaking, he twisted his graceful body and walked towards Mo Ziyao's room.

Looking at Shi Hanshuang's back, Chu Mofeng went through the last words she said in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had made up his mind, and walked quickly to Li Yuhu's room, and Momo, who was still lying on them and peeking at the moment, hurriedly shouted in a low voice when he saw this: "Madam, the master went to the third lady's room." ”

Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, only to see Yiyi open the door, saluted Chu Mofeng and said, "Master, Madame is waiting for you in the room." Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, took out some reward money from his arms and handed it to Yiyi, and then walked quickly towards the bedroom.

Yiyi on the side took the reward and was about to thank him, but he saw a gust of wind blowing, and Chu Mofeng, who was still at the door, had already entered the inner room, and couldn't help but smile in surprise, it seems that our master is still good to the third lady, thinking of this, Yiyi stretched out his hand to close the door, ready to see if he needed to serve on the side.

As soon as he walked to the inner room, he saw Chu Mofeng holding Li Yuhu's hand and walking outside the house, Yiyi covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Master, madam, what are you two like?"

Li Yuhu, who had taken off his red hijab, had a faint glow on his face under the candlelight at this moment, only to hear Li Yuhu whisper: "Yiyi, you can simply clean up the inner room in a while, and then go to rest, and the master and I will go to the fourth lady's room." ”

Seeing that his master opened his mouth, Yiyi hurriedly nodded, and then opened the door, Chu Mofeng turned his head to look at Li Yuhu, took her hand and ran quickly towards the opposite room.

Mu Mu, who was continuing to carry out the investigation work at the crack in the door, saw Chu Mofeng and Li Yuhu walking towards this side together, hurriedly straightened up and returned to the inner room, and said to Hua Ling'er: "Madam, the master and the third lady are coming here together. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, Mu Mu hurriedly opened the door, saluted Chu Mofeng and Li Yuhu and said, "Master, third lady, lady is waiting in the house." ”

Chu Mofeng gave the reward money as usual, and then led Li Yuhu to the inner room, and after picking off the red hijab with a silver pick, Hua Ling'er's charming face was revealed.

Seeing that Li Yuhu was also on the side, Hua Ling'er hurriedly got up and saluted Li Yuhu and said, "Sister Feng'er is also here." ”

"Well, Sister Ling'er, don't blame, I don't know what our master is going to do, so I have to follow him to you. Li Yuhu nodded, his cheeks slightly red with a shy expression.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng smiled and said to the two beauties: "Feng'er and Ling'er, from today onwards, we will be married even if we are married, but I haven't thought about the matter of performing the Zhou Gong gift for the time being, so in order not to let the two of you be wronged today, I have to let the two of you be companions." ”

After speaking, they kissed each of them on the forehead, turned around and left Hua Ling'er's room, looking at Chu Mofeng's back, Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er couldn't help but look at each other, and the room was silent for a while.

After leaving Hua Ling'er's room, Chu Mofeng walked towards his bedroom in the five-cross courtyard, who knew that before he stepped through the courtyard door, he saw the porter Lao Zhang running in from the outside in a hurry, and shouted to Chu Mofeng while running: "Master, master, don't go yet, the little one has something urgent to report." ”

Hearing Lao Zhang call out to himself, Chu Mofeng turned to look at him and said, "It's so late, what must be said at this time?"

Lao Zhang ran to Chu Mofeng and said breathlessly: "Master, just now someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion came with a post, saying that the Prime Minister urgently summoned the Lord to the mansion to discuss matters. After speaking, he took out a prayer note from his arms and handed it to Chu Mofeng.

After taking the post, Chu Mofeng opened it and glanced at it, then took the post into his arms and said, "Cheng, I know, you go down to rest, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion later." After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for Lao Zhang to go down and rest.

Back in his bedroom, Chu Mofeng took off the wedding clothes on his body, changed into clean clothes, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a few sips of water, and then walked out of the house towards the gate of the mansion. When he came to the door, Chu Mofeng found that Lao Zhang had already led his horse out, and after touching the Buddha and nodding with satisfaction, he turned over and straddled it, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped towards the Li Mansion in Jinchengfang.

Some people sent their own envoys to Daxing with the intention of forming an alliance with Li Yuan; some people were disdainful and concentrated on developing their own forces; while others were eyeing Daxing City in vain and trying to annex Daxing at all times.

Xue Ju and his son Xue Rengao, who are located in the direction of Lanzhou, belong to the last type of people. In the last years of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty (605-618), Xue Rengao's father, Xue Ju, served as the captain of Jincheng Prefecture.

In April of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), when there was a famine and the people were hungry, the thieves in Longxi swarmed, and Hao Ying was ordered by Jincheng County to recruit thousands of soldiers for the crusade against the thieves, and appointed Xue Ju as a general, distributed armor, gathered officials and people, and set up a banquet to reward the soldiers.

Who knew that Xue Rengao, Xue Ju and thirteen of his party members abducted Hao Ying in the seat, pretending to arrest the rebels, and then raised troops, imprisoned county officials, and opened warehouses to distribute grain to help the poor people.

Xue Ju proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Qin, the founding year was Qin Xing, Xue Rengao was named the Duke of Qi, and his youngest son Xue Renyue was the Duke of Jin. Elsewhere, the thief Kou Zong Luo Hu led his people to join and was named the Duke of Yixing. Then he recruited a group of thieves and plundered officials and horses. The soldiers were sharp, and the cities were taken everywhere they went.

Soon, Xue Ju defeated the Sui general Huangfu and took advantage of the situation to capture Caohan. Minshan Qiang Zhong Lishu led 20,000 people to surrender to Xue Ju, and Xue Ju's army was greatly boosted. Xue Rengao was named the king of Qi, and he was appointed as the marshal of the eastern march, and Zong Luohu was the king of Yixing to assist Xue Rengao. He also took Xue Renyue as the king of Jin and led the history of Hezhou Thorns. Then he skimmed the land of Shan, Kuo and Erzhou. In just ten days, the land of Longxi was occupied, with 130,000 troops.

In July of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), Xue Ju proclaimed himself emperor in Lanzhou and made Xue Rengao the crown prince. Xue Ju sent Xue Rengao to lead his troops to besiege Qinzhou, and after Xue Rengao conquered Qinzhou, Xue Ju moved the capital from Lanzhou to Qinzhou.

It is said that Xue Rengao was greedy, cruel, and murderous by nature, and often tortured his captives such as cutting off their tongues, cutting their noses, and beheading.

In December of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), Xue Ju sent Xue Rengao to plunder Fufeng County, and the local peasant rebel army Tang Bi defended Huangyuan to resist Xue Rengao, resulting in Xue Rengao being unable to march.

At first, Tang Bi supported Li Hongzhi as the Son of Heaven and had 100,000 soldiers. However, Xue Ju sent an envoy to surrender Tang Bi, and Tang Bi killed Li Hongzhi and asked Xue Ju to surrender.

Who would have thought that Xue Rengao took advantage of Tang Bi's defenselessness, led a large army to raid Huangyuan and quickly captured it, and incorporated all of Tang Bi's troops, At this time, Xue Ju's army was prosperous, claiming to be 200,000 soldiers, planning to capture Chang'an.

Seeing this, Tang Bi had no choice but to lead the remaining hundreds of cavalry to flee overnight, rushing in the direction of Daxing, and after rushing to Daxing non-stop, Tang Bi hurriedly entered the city to meet Li Yuan and inform him of the matter, and Li Yuan couldn't help but be surprised after receiving the news.

Because he has been busy governing Daxing, he hastily forgot about the two hungry wolves in Longxi and Xue Ju and Xue Rengao, thinking of this, Li Yuan pacified Tang Bi while sending someone to call Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning, and then instructed his housekeeper to go to the Chu Mansion in Yiningfang overnight and invite Chu Mofeng to come over to discuss the matter together.

After everyone arrived, Li Yuan motioned to Tang Bi to tell the four of them what he had just said, and after listening to Tang Bi's narration, the four of them were silent with frowns.

Seeing this, Li Yuan had no choice but to speak: "Let's discuss it, the thieves are ready to attack Daxing while our foothold is not stable, if the thieves succeed, then the good situation we established before will disappear in an instant." ”

Then Li Yuan said to Chu Mofeng with a helpless face: "I know that you are getting married today, but the war ahead is urgent, so I have no choice but to summon you, and I hope you don't have any complaints." ”

Chu Mofeng stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, since we have opened up a good situation, then stabilizing the situation is the root of everything, but even if Xue Rengao doesn't attack him, the kid will assassinate this person after a while." ”

When Li Yuan heard Chu Mofeng say this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking to himself, did this kid have any holiday with the Xue family and his son? Then he asked, "Why did the virtuous son-in-law say this? Could it be that you had a holiday with that Xue family and father and son before?"

"Otherwise, the kid will assassinate the thief Xue Rengao, and he will be killed because of this. Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said some of the news he had learned.

It turned out that although Xue Rengao was not very old, the people in the northwest were fierce, and he had been fighting and killing for many years, so he had developed a brutal character.

According to Chu Mofeng's private investigation, Xue Rengao used to take a city and never leave any prisoners, but whenever there was resistance in the city, after breaking the city, he killed all the old and weak women and children in the city, and this person often took pleasure in abusing the prisoners.

Geng Li, the son of the famous writer Yu Xin, had become acquainted with Chu Mofeng by some coincidence, when Geng Li inherited his father's Marquis of Yicheng, and served as the county commander in Yile County, Chu Mofeng followed Li Yuan from Jinyang After raising troops, he once wrote a letter inviting Geng Li to go to Daxing to assist Li Yuan, who knew that after Chu Mofeng entered Daxing, he sent someone to Yile County to find Geng Li, and was told that Geng Li had already been killed by Xue Rengao.

Later, under the hard questioning of the personnel, it turned out that Geng Li was accidentally captured by Xue Rengao, and wanted to let him surrender to assist him, but Geng Li had already made an appointment with Chu Mofeng, and was not ashamed of Xue Rengao's brutal behavior, so he always refused to surrender.

After Chu Mofeng learned the news of Geng Li's murder, he angrily looked up to the sky and scolded, which forced Chu Mofeng to urgently recruit all the people on the other side to go to Daxing, originally wanted to wait until after the wedding to lead his troops to Longxi to assassinate, who knew that Xue Rengao actually attacked Fufeng, intending to get involved in Daxing.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Father, the child begs you to allocate a number of elite soldiers to the child, and the child and Mofeng will go to stop the sharp spirit of this thief." ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, isn't he Xue Rengao known as 200,000 elite soldiers? In this case, after dawn, you and Mo Feng led Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji and others, together with 200,000 elite soldiers, to help the wind to meet the enemy, if you can capture and kill this thief in one fell swoop, it is also a scourge for such a cruel person to stay in the world." ”

Then Li Yuan said to Li Xiuning: "Ning'er, you will also contact the people in the Guanzhong area later, and give your second brother some assistance from the side." ”

Li Shimin, Li Xiuning and Chu Mofeng hurriedly got up to receive the order when they heard this, and at this time Chu Mofeng suddenly said: "Father-in-law, the kid has something to ask for. ”

"Say, as long as it's not something that hurts nature and reason, and goes against common sense, the old man can be satisfied with you. Hearing that Chu Mofeng had something to ask for, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, since this person got acquainted, he would never ask others for anything, but tried his best to help the Li family with advice, and it must be something difficult to ask for something when he suddenly asked, thinking of this, Li Yuan had no choice but to nod and agree.

I only heard Chu Mofeng say slowly: "A native of Guzang County, Wuwei County, the son of Duan Yan, the former assassin of Shuozhou Prefecture in Northern Zhou, this person's name is Duan Da, he should be in Luoyang at the moment, I need the specific location and news of this person, and I implore my father-in-law to help." ”

As soon as he heard that the person Chu Mofeng asked him to check was Duan Da, Li Yuan seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said, "Are you sure that he did that thing in the first place?"

"It's true, this is the conclusion that the kid came to after investigating for a long time over the years, if it was just Yang Su alone, he couldn't find out so much news, there must have been someone around him who leaked the news, which led to the killing of that person. When Chu Mofeng heard that Li Yuan also knew the secret, he hurriedly nodded.

"Okay, don't worry, although this matter is a little tricky, but the old man will definitely do his best to find out everything for you. Li Yuan nodded, agreed to Chu Mofeng's request, and then hurriedly instructed the two to go on the expedition.

Back at his mansion, Chu Mofeng found that it was already four o'clock in the morning, thinking that he would go to the camp to set off with the army as soon as it was dawn, Chu Mofeng hurriedly began to pack his things.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and Shi Hanshuang walked in, looked at himself tenderly and said, "This is another expedition, right?"

Chu Mofeng nodded and didn't make a sound, but continued to tidy up his things, Shi Hanshuang saw this, stepped forward and took his hand and said, "Come with me, I brought you back something from Zhangye this time, you can definitely use it on the battlefield." After speaking, he pulled Chu Mofeng and walked towards the warehouse.

Signaling Mu Mu to open the door of the warehouse, Shi Hanshuang led Chu Mofeng and walked in accompanied by Mu Mu, only to see that in the warehouse of the Daxing Chu Mansion Mansion, there were all kinds of weapons hanging on the walls. The shelves on the floor are lined with jewels, ornaments, and silk cloths, and there are several large wooden boxes stacked in the corners, and I don't know what is stored inside.

Shi Hanshuang led Chu Mofeng to a box, smiled and motioned him to open it, only to see that the box had been opened, and when he saw something familiar, he instantly met Chu Mofeng's eyes, Chu Mofeng looked at Shi Hanshuang in surprise and said, "I said daughter-in-law, why did you bring it." ”

"You fool, the protection effect of the standard armor in the army is not good now, I am relieved that you wear it to the battlefield. Seeing his husband's surprised look, Shi Hanshuang couldn't help but smile like a flower.

After being excited, Chu Mofeng hugged Shi Hanshuang's cheek and kissed it hard, Shi Hanshuang pushed Chu Mofeng away when he saw this, and said, "I'm going to die, Mu Mu is still there, and I'm not afraid to let her see jokes." ”

Chu Mofeng smiled strangely when he heard this, and said to Shi Hanshuang: "Daughter-in-law, what do you mean is that if Mu Mu is not there, can you do whatever you want as a husband." ”

"Hurry up, find someone to carry the box out, and then pack up your things and wait for news from Brother Li. After speaking, Shi Hanshuang instructed Mu Mu to go out and find a few people, and carried the box to Chu Mofeng's bedroom.

Slowly taking out the armor from the box one by one, Chu Mofeng found a clean cloth and wiped it carefully, and at this time, the burning sky on the table began to tremble again. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng put on the armor one by one, and held the Burning Sky in his hand, and the tremor that had just disappeared in an instant.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Chu Mofeng wore this armor and took all the things and walked towards the gate of the mansion, and when he came to the door, he saw that Tafeng had been waiting for a long time, and after turning over and getting on the horse, Chu Mofeng whispered in Tafeng's ear: "Old man, it's time for us to go to the battlefield again, this time it's all up to you." ”

After speaking, he gently touched the head of the wind, and saw the horse under his crotch running towards the camp like a psychic.

When he came to the camp, Chu Mofeng found that Li Shimin was taking the oath of battle, and he found a quiet corner to stand and listen carefully to Li Shimin's speech above.

I only heard Li Shimin say to a group of soldiers: "Soldiers, this time we are not going to expand the territory, but to protect, protect the good situation that we have only established in five months, and protect the pure land under our feet." Not far to the west, there is a group of brutal thieves who are attacking Daxing, if they capture Daxing, then not only will we lose our lives, but our parents, children, and even relatives and friends will be brutally killed, do you want to see such a scene?"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, 'I don't want to', and Li Shimin asked: "Since you don't want to, what should we do?"

At this time, all the soldiers in the audience shouted in unison: "Kill the thieves and defend your homeland." ”

Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was ignited by himself, Li Shimin hurriedly took out the long sword at his waist and raised it to the sky and shouted: "Soldiers, pass on my order, and the whole army can set off, aiming at Fufeng County." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin jumped lightly from the platform, jumped onto his mount, and shouted to Chu Mofeng with his legs between the horse's belly: "Let's go, let's get ready to go." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly turned his horse's head and followed Li Shimin towards the Jinguang Gate in the west of the city, and behind the two of them was an army of 200,000 led by Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and others......

There is a way to make a name for himself in the battle of Fufeng, but the bad guys are not short-lived, and look at Li Shimin's Fufeng County vs. Xue Jiajun, Chu Mofeng assassinated Xue Rengao outside the small city, I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition......
