35 Reunion
Sister Yue's news made Xie Yixiang tremble, the so-called "Shenhuo Sect Leader Gongsun Mo Ming" was actually the young Zhao Xiaoling that he and Ning Cui rescued from the "Falling Dragon Cave" in Mota, I didn't expect that he and Ning Cui tried their best to escape from the pursuit of the Shenhuo Sect, but in the end, Gongsun Mo Ming always re-assumed the position of the leader of the Shenhuo Sect.
And the depth of the internal strength of this Gongsun Sect Master can really be described as unparalleled in the world, and he has seen it with his own eyes. Even if it was in the "Tianzhi" stone chamber on the sixth floor of the Mo Pagoda that day, the power of the six great protectors of Hemo Hanshan and the Mo family, as well as the six masters of the Shenhuo Sect Jishui and the Two Venerables of the Open Fire, I am afraid that it may not be the opponent of this Gongsun Mo Ming. As for what the situation at Yumen Pass was at that time, I'm afraid I can only ask him face-to-face when I see my senior brother in the future.
Thinking of this, how could Xie Yixiang still have the intention of drinking tea? When he said goodbye to Sister Yue and returned home alone, he asked his second brother Xie Qinghui to come forward as the son of the Xie family, and find acquaintances in the court to inquire about the situation in Jiayuguan and the whereabouts of the senior brother. In the afternoon of the next day, Xie Qinghui got news from the Ministry of War, saying that the coalition formed by the five countries in the Western Regions had already captured Yumen Pass, and a bloody battle was being fought in front of Jiayu Pass at this time, which was exactly the same as what Sister Yue said yesterday.
The army of the King of Thailand, which had already returned to the Central Plains, was now stationed in the Hankou area, preparing to go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to deal with the rebels of King Heng. However, in this situation, the king of Thailand could only pull out the village and go west, return to Lanzhou to garrison, and respond to Gong Baisheng in Jiayuguan. Fortunately, King Heng, who was in turmoil in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has been relatively peaceful recently, but he is far away from the defenders of the imperial court stationed in Huzhou, Xuancheng, and Tongling, and he is not in a hurry to attack north. I don't know if it was because the end of the year was approaching and Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, so this rebellious King Heng actually showed great mercy and wanted his soldiers and the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to have a good year.
As for the news of Xian Jingyue, Xie Qinghui didn't know anything about it, and he couldn't find out a bit, but it was because the pro-army Governor's Mansion to which Xian Jingyue belonged was specially organized, and there was no need to report his whereabouts to the various departments of the imperial court. Xie Yixiang didn't get the news from her senior brother, she couldn't help but be a little upset, and when she thought of the war-torn situation in the Central Plains, she couldn't do anything, so she had to sigh secretly. When it was dark, news came that there had been a flood at Hongze Lake south of Suqian for no reason, and several villages on the lakeside had been submerged, but although this strange flood came and went faster, it had receded in two or three hours, and had not caused much damage. Later, the people in the vicinity took a closer look, and the water level of the entire Hongze Lake actually dropped a lot, revealing a large area of wetland, thus dividing the original large lake into two lakes, east and west.
For a time, the entire Jinling City was in an uproar, from the official eunuchs in the court to the people in the city, everyone was talking about this matter. You must know that it is now the end of the year and the cold winter, and how could Hongze Lake, which has always been calm and calm, suddenly break out into such a flood that can only occur in summer? Many people with good deeds have even seized the opportunity to bewitch the public, saying that this is "a country that is about to be in turmoil, and there will be a vision." In the eyes of the imperial court, now that the allied forces of the five countries of the Western Regions in the northwest have invaded Jiayuguan, and the army of King Heng in the southeast has rebelled and caused rebellion, even the Mobei area is not at ease, and it actually allows a "corpse army" to sneak into the Central Plains with the intention of sneaking into Jinling; at this time, when I heard that such a strange flood had also occurred in Hongze Lake in the south of Suqian, it was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and the various departments of the DPRK and Central China felt more and more anxious, so they had to send officials to Hongze Lake overnight to inspect it.
Seeing that there was a commotion in Jinling City until midnight because of this incident, the palaces of the court's central eunuchs in the area from Confucius Temple to Wuyi Lane were already panicked, Xie Yixiang already had something in his heart, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Unexpectedly, around the fourth watch, the housekeeper of the general's mansion suddenly knocked on Xie Yixiang's door, saying that a guest had come to visit overnight and wanted to see him by name. Xie Yixiang was curious, so she had to get up and change her clothes, open the door and ask who the housekeeper was. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper wanted to pretend to be mysterious, and refused to tell the identity of the person who came, but his eyes were full of joy that could not be hidden.
Xie Yixiang was curious, and hurriedly went to the front hall to receive her. But I saw that in the front hall was a young man in his twenties, carrying half of the long knife used on the battlefield, and his white clothes were covered with dust, and it was clearly his senior brother Xian Jingyue. When Xie Yixiang was frightened, she thought that she had finally entered a dream in insomnia, and hurriedly rubbed her eyes;
I didn't expect that I was still worried about my brother's situation during the day, and at night, my brother had already appeared at my house. Xie Yixiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to serve tea, and told each other about his farewell to Xian Jingyue. Although Xian Jingyue was exhausted, he still forcibly cheered up and told Xie Yixiang a brief history of his experience in Yumen Pass. Hearing that Yan Sidao actually resolved his grudge with Ning Cui before the Jade Gate Pass, and also took over the position of the "Liujin Venerable" of the Divine Fire Sect, and assisted Gongsun Mo Ming with Ning Cui, Xie Yixiang only felt that a fire of ignorance rushed straight to his head, and he couldn't help but scold Yan Sidao.
Later, when he heard that at the last crisis juncture, Yan Sidao actually stepped forward and escorted Xian Jingyue all the way back to the pass, and also ordered Prince Geshu to send medicinal materials to cure the plague, so as to save the lives of thousands of sick garrisons in Yumen Pass, Xie Yixiang felt more and more surprised, and couldn't help but say: "That guy has done many evils, and what he has done is simply outrageous! This time he has shown you so much, I really don't know what conspiracy there is behind the scenes!"
Xian Jingyue also couldn't understand this, but in any case, the more than 3,000 surviving soldiers of Yumen Pass had safely withdrawn to Jiayu Pass after all, and now they were fighting against the Western Regions Five Nations Alliance together with Gong Baisheng, the guard of Jiayu Pass. However, because Gong Baisheng had stood by and watched the predicament of Yumen Pass, he had always had a grudge against this General Gong, so he took the bodies of Lu Yuanpo and Li Liu to return to Jinling first, so as to inform the court of the original situation of the war in the northwest.
After listening to Xian Jingyue's speech, Xie Yixiang wanted to tell his senior brother what he had seen and heard in the ink tower, but Xian Jingyue, as the commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, had just returned to Jinling at this time, and had not yet had time to enter the palace to face the saint. Since he had already reported his safety to Xie Yixiang, he didn't dare to delay more, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye. Xie Yixiang saw that his senior brother looked lonely, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the bloody battle outside the Yumen Pass, so he did not leave him at the moment, and sent Xian Jingyue out of the mansion all the way.
