At this time, although the Tubo Dynasty was divided, the military system was still used. The strength of each secessionist regime is divided into four parts, and the supreme commander of each division is the Wanhu Prefecture (Wanfu), and the army is composed of 100 people as a unit, with a centurion. Centurions and above have a thousand-commander, and the centurion is equivalent to a lord and a magistrate.

The Wanhu Mansion on duty that night in the camp in the west of the city, named Suolang Phuntsok, was a rare local general, and he was straightforward, upright, and had a high prestige in the army.

Jueru and the others went straight to the big tent of Solang Phuntsok, and before they reached the door of the big tent, they heard someone in the tent talking loudly from a distance, and their voices were full of anger: "Yesterday I lost more than 300 horses, why did I report it now? What did Sanjay Dorjee do wrong? Why was he beheaded in battle?"

Jueru and others thought that Sanjay Dorjee was probably the commander who was beheaded by Li Lizun under the horse for the applause of Ashinawei's archery before the battle yesterday, no wonder tonight's night patrol password was "Sanjay Dorjee", which was originally set up by Solang Phuntsok to commemorate his subordinates.

I heard a sergeant say: "My lord is angry, at that time, the holy monk and the arrow slave duel, the feather arrow shot was intercepted in the air, the opponent's arrow was accurate, many people in the army applauded, General Sanjay Dorjee also shouted a few hello, probably the closest to the holy monk, this was ...... ......"

Solang Phuntsok said angrily: "The two armies are facing each other, and it is most taboo to cut the generals before the battle. seems to be such a murderous method, who would dare to die for him over time. Pass my orders to deduct 500 taels of silver and 50 taels of gold from my monthly stipend to support Sanjay Dorjee's family. ”

"Lord Qiqi, after returning to the camp yesterday, the holy monk has already sent someone to put General Sanjay Dorjee's family in prison, I'm afraid it will ......"

"I'm afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that the execution is already being carried out in secret at this time. ”

There was a "bang" in the big tent, thinking that Solang Pingcuo was indignant and broke something, and then shouted: "Bastard! bastard!"

"Adults are angry, this kind of thing has often happened before, adults control their emotions, don't spread it to the ears of the holy monks......"

"Get out......

Jueru and the others stood far away, and when they saw the curtain of the big tent lifted, several sergeants walked out dejectedly, muttering something to each other, and gradually walked away.

Ashina Wei leaned closer to Jueru and whispered: "The demon monk is cruel, and the army has long been dissatisfied with him, should we take the risk of trying this general Solang Phuntsok?"

Jueru said: "Solang Phuntsok loves soldiers like sons and has always served the public. The 25,000 troops and horses in the west camp of the city can be mobilized, but I don't know what happens to the camp in the east of the city?"

Ashina Wei said: "The Wanhu Mansion in the eastern part of the city is the pearl of Lausanne, and it is still far from here. Although the deployment of troops in the entire Zongge City is in the hands of the two of them, if General Solang is willing to help, we will be half the battle. ”

Jueru pondered for a moment, looked up at the big tent in the distance, and took a deep breath: "Let's go." ”

Wu Shijiu rushed all the way back to the inn, entered the room and gently put the unmoved Zijin on the bed, saw that she was looking at herself in horror, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you, there are no clothes for girls here, you can just take a look and wear mine." ”

He picked out his change of clothes and put them on the head of the bed, turned and walked out of the room, and gently closed the door. After a cup of tea, Zijin slowly opened the door, his eyes still a little puzzled. Although the clothes are wide, it is difficult to hide her delicate figure when worn on her, and for a moment, Wu Shijiu repeatedly suspected that this girl was Nalan Chunni.

There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table in the inn for the tenants to use, and Zijin pointed to her mouth to indicate that she could no longer speak, and then walked slowly to the table, and wrote, "Who are you?

The handwriting is beautiful, thick and fine.

This question made Wu Shijiu not know how to answer.

Say that you and my first love look exactly the same? Or do you say that the road is uneven and roars?

After thinking for a long time, I only felt that it was really difficult to speak, and I didn't move Zijin to see that he was hesitant and undecided, so I wrote: "If you don't say it, you won't ask, please accept the worship of Zijin." ”

Put down the pen and bow down. Wu Shijiu hurriedly stepped forward to support him, the two of them looked at each other, Zijin couldn't help but blush, gently broke free of Wu Shijiu's hand, and wrote on the paper: "Great kindness, he will repay every day, and there is another thing to ask for before leaving." Then he pointed to his face, and then to Wu Shijiu, indicating if he could take off his mask.

"Oh, yes...... By the way, my name is Wu Shijiu. ”

Wu Shijiu took off his mask, revealing a young face. Only saw thin cheeks, eyes like stars, sword eyebrows into the sideburns, three points of warmth, three points of confidence and three points of shyness, the body was strong, and the whole body exuded manhood.

Zijin didn't move his eyes for a while, and then walked to the table again and wrote: "Remember the appearance of Engong, don't leave it at that." ”

Then turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, where are you going?"

He didn't move Zijin to stop and shook his head.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask if you have any other relatives or friends?"

As soon as these words came out, Zijin immediately showed a vigilant look.

"Don't get me wrong, I mean if you don't have other relatives and friends, it's dangerous to go out at this time, what if you get caught by that old monk again?"

He stood silently for a while, his eyes were red, and he returned to the table and wrote: "Life and death follow fate." ”

After writing it, I didn't look back.

Wu Shijiu wanted to stay, but she didn't know how to speak, seeing that she went down the stairs of the inn alone and walked into the night, she wanted to catch up several times, but her heart was uncertain. Secretly said: Wu Shijiu, Wu Shijiu, why did you see someone who looked like Nalan Chunni, so uneasy? What about Shuangxixi? Aren't you going to save her?

Thinking of Shuangxi, my heart moved, I wonder if she is in this city, and she has slept at this moment? Or is she awake like him and remembered each other?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone in a guest room speak: "Ado, I know that you and Xixi have suffered a lot of grievances in order to help me during this time. ”

Wu Shijiu has deep internal strength at this time, his ears and eyes are clear, although the other party is separated by several rooms and speaks very softly, but every word clearly enters his ears, and the person who speaks is Yuwen Jiugu. As soon as I heard him talk about Shuangxi, I immediately listened attentively.

I heard a woman say: "Brother Jiu, Xixi and I don't want to go to that kind of occasion, I don't say it, don't you know?"

Wu Shijiu recognized that it was Mrs. Shili who spoke, and it stands to reason that Yuwen Jiugu was a guest and should live in the palace, but why did he appear in this inn? Just thinking about it, he heard Yuwen Jiugu say: "I know that you did not hesitate to offend the old ghost of Yin and Yang in order to catch that psychic messenger, and today's incident really makes you embarrassed." ”

Wu Shijiu remembered that when he was under the Bull Killing Ridge, there were indeed people who plotted against Yin and Yang, and finally robbed themselves on the eve of the night, and only then did they have all kinds of adventures. Unexpectedly, the one who plotted against Yin and Yang turned out to be Mrs. Shili, it seems that Mrs. Shili and Shuangxi did not appear at the palace banquet today, just to avoid the opponent of Yin and Yang.

"Ado, at that time, I was also instructed by someone to catch the psychic messenger and pass through the spiritual gate, maybe I will also master the dragon vein of Western Xia and complete the great cause. Who knew that things turned around later, and it was indeed beyond our expectations, but it was just that you worked hard back then. ”

"Who the hell is that guy you're talking about, and why haven't you ever been heard of it?"

"Ado, the one who helped me behind me is the most unfathomable senior master in this world, all our actions are in his plan, don't make me embarrassed. ”

"Okay, well, if you don't say it, you won't say it, and I don't like to hear those things! I can endure anything for you all these years. ”

Yuwen Jiugu was silent, and after a long while, Mrs. Shili sighed faintly: "When I was sixteen years old, I fell in love with you with all my heart, and I did not hesitate to break with my family for you. It wasn't until you left that I realized I was pregnant. When you left, there was no news, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid gossip, I wandered the world and lived alone in those years. Later, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that there was a Yuwen Nine Bone, a prisoner bull stick swept the martial arts, and he was ranked as Mr. Shiling, so I guessed that person was you. If I don't go to you, will you never remember me?"

Wu Shijiu thought to himself, there is actually such a bad relationship between Mrs. Shili and Yuwen Jiugu. No wonder Mrs. Shili once threatened to kill all the negative men in the world, it seems that she must have hatred during the time when she was abandoned. Xixi was also influenced by her to some extent.

After a moment of silence, Yuwen Jiugu suddenly said: "Ado, since Xixi is your and my child, why is his surname Shuang?"

"I know you're going to have that question sooner or later. I ask you, what is your original name?"

"You know, my real name is Yuwen Shuangqing. The fortune teller said that my life was short of precious bones, so he changed the name of Yuwen Nine Bone. ”

"You are bent on your identity, your great cause, where can you take care of our mother. I had a difficult birth on the eve of my birth, and you weren't around. How does a woman's family wander the rivers and lakes alone, how can she live with a child? In order to stop the mouths of the people, she said that I picked up the child. Double is taken from your real name, and the word Xixi is a dismantling of the 'more' in my name. ”

Speaking of which, Wu Shijiu finally understood that Shuangxi was Yuwenxi. Yuwen Jiugu's original name was Yuwen Shuangqing, Mrs. Shili's real name was Haitangduo, and the name Shuangxixi was taken from each of his names. Mrs. Shili has been floating around with her children for more than ten years, which is really not easy. Thinking about it like this, the disgust for her in my heart decreased slightly, and I felt a little more sympathy.

Yuwen Jiugu said: "Over the years, I have really suffered you two mothers, and in the future, when I return to the country and become a hero, I will definitely want you to enjoy endless brocade clothes and jade food with me, and the world will be rich." ”

"Brother Jiu, there is something I have always buried in my heart and never asked you, so don't be angry when you ask today. ”

"You ask, how could I be mad at you. ”

"In your heart, is it your Wang Tu hegemony that is important, or is our mother and daughter important?

"Ado, I know your thoughts. But when a man cultivates himself outside, he wants to make a career. Those who achieve great things will not be informal. Otherwise, if he was lazy when he was young, he would eventually make up for it. Am I wrong that I want to give you a better life?"

"But...... But I really don't want to do anything that I don't want to do for your cause. Let's wash the Guanyin Dragon Elephant Temple in blood and kill Master Wansi, this matter has long been spread in the rivers and lakes, but as long as I am with you, the opinions of the world can be ignored. Now that you want to marry your own daughter to him in order to befriend that Tibetan barbarian, have you considered my feelings? Have you considered my daughter's feelings? I have been unhappy in my life, and I don't want my daughter to follow me to make senseless sacrifices. ”

Yuwen Jiugu said unhappily: "The marriage contract has been decided, how can there be any reason to modify it at will." When I achieve hegemony, if you want a daughter, I will take her back to you. ”

Mrs. Shili said: "This child obviously has that psychic messenger in her heart, and if you don't agree, it's okay, but you forced her to swear a poisonous oath and never talk to that person for the rest of her life." When you are a father, you only recognize your daughter, and you force her to do things against your will, which is too harsh on her. ”

"Don't talk about it, I've made up my mind. ”

Seeing that he was angry, Mrs. Shili stopped talking, and the two fell into a long silence.

Wu Shijiu's heart was pounding, it turned out that Xixi had me in her heart, she didn't talk to me, she was forced to swear a poisonous oath by Yuwen Jiugu? I also thought, which historical figure of the king and the majesty is not behind the blood and bones? This Yuwen Jiugu thought that he had a bit of royal and aristocratic blood, so he was determined to restore the "Xu State", and he hated that everyone around him could use it for his purposes, and his desire for power had already blinded his conscience, and it was really unfortunate to have such a father on Shuangxi.

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a faint firelight in the distance, and there seemed to be the sound of people and horses boiling, and a whistle arrow rose into the night sky, banging, and the sound came far away.

He secretly screamed: I patronized and listened to them, and forgot about Jueru and Ashinawei. They went to the barracks in the middle of the night to lobby, and they were alone, but they were also very dangerous. At that moment, he flew out of the door and jumped into the street, whistled, and the big black heart understood, broke free from the stable, Wu Shijiu flew on the horse, and went straight to the firelight.
