"Do you regret it?" said the man in the navy blue coarse cloth coat with a smile as he glanced at the fat man beside him.

The fat man was wearing a black brocade robe, with a Lantian jade pendant hanging from the top of the water head around his waist, and a huge gold-cast square card hanging around his neck, which was engraved with cloud patterns around it, and there was no word on the card to mean "peace and nothing".

"I said I don't regret it, do you believe it? I regret it, I really regret it! Those little ladies who are still waiting for me to go back, I guess they won't be able to wait for me this time, I should have left them some thoughts. ”

The more the fat man in brocade said, the more excited he became, and finally ripped off the gold plate around his neck and muttered: "It's too late, it's too late." Can I really be safe? I can be safe, but here I am ... So many people, so many people, so many living ... The fat man knocked his heart hard with his hand holding the Taiping Nothing card, and he couldn't cry anymore, if he could live, who wanted to die.

The man in Tsing Yi wanted to comfort the fat man for a few words, but as soon as he raised his hand, he coughed violently, and with the violent coughing, blood kept pouring out of his mouth.

The man in Tsing Yi could only sit on the ground gloomily against the big tree behind him, and said to the fat man who couldn't cry: "If what we have done today can be exchanged... Lao Tzu didn't lose money on this deal, ha. The man in Tsing Yi only laughed dryly, and then disappeared, it turned out that he had already lost his breath and had no life.

The fat man in brocade squatted down and tried to close the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi with his hands, but he didn't close them after several attempts. The fat man had no choice but to give up, and gently placed the gold-cast Taiping Incident card beside the man in Tsing Yi, then stood up and looked in the direction where the man in Tsing Yi did not want to close his eyes, where there was already a fire and a burst of killing. The fat man looked back at the way out in the opposite direction, then at the man in Tsing Yi who was unwilling to close his eyes, gritted his teeth and turned around and rushed towards the place where the fire was in full bloom in the city.

For a thousand years to come, there will be people who will continue to preach about today's events.

"In case of injustice, I exchange peace for peace.

I am ashamed, and I am worthy of myself. ”

Taiping Mountain is located in the north of Liangzhou, this Taiping Mountain is not only the north of the five mountains of the Great Xia Kingdom, but also the northern ancestral court of Taoism in the Great Xia Dynasty. After passing through Taiping Mountain, it is less than a few hundred miles to the territory of Gaojiluo Kingdom built by the Buyeo people. As a vassal state of the Great Xia Dynasty, Gaoji Luomin was already a vassal when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed by the Great Xia Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Although Gaoziluo is a steppe nomad, but in recent years by the culture of the Great Xia Dynasty has been deeply influenced, and there are Gaoziluo nobles who are proud to emulate the cultural etiquette of the Great Xia. Even the edicts used by Emperor Gaojiluo, and the official documents used in domestic correspondence also have the Bactrian script.

Since the unification of the six kingdoms destroyed by Taizu, Great Xia has flourished for a while, and the surrounding countries have all bowed down to themselves within a few hundred years. It's just that the last Emperor Wende died of a sudden illness in the prime of life, because he was too young to establish a prince. This caused a chaotic infighting between the foreign forces that supported several young princes and the Chinese military forces of the DPRK.

Although in the end, Emperor Wende's young son successfully sat on the throne with the help of the Empress Dowager Wu, and the era was named Hongwu. But after years of infighting, Great Xia's vitality was injured. Many vassal states that had previously submitted to Great Xia saw that Great Xia was now strong and middle-class, and they were all ready to move.

Now Gaura has become the main battlefield for these forces that are ready to move to test whether Great Xia still has any remaining strength. Among them, Fuying, who was also a vassal of the Great Xia Dynasty, invaded Gaojiluo on the grounds that the king of Gaojiluo was mediocre and unreasonable, and quickly occupied most of Gaoziluo's territory.

Due to his admiration for the Bactria culture, the king of Gaojiluo took the Xia character of the Bactria Dynasty as the name and called the Xia City. The main street in front of the imperial city of the royal capital of Gaojiluo is called Xiajiang Street. At this time, in the mansion of the Great Xia Dynasty in Gaoji Luo Licao Mansion on Xiajiang Street, a burly middle-aged man wearing the Great Xia battle armor was holding the handle of the knife on his waist with one hand and stroking his forehead with the other, and was anxiously pacing back and forth in the house. Every now and then, the man would stop and look out the door, presumably waiting for someone.

"Isn't there any news yet?" the burly man had to stop from time to time to ask the officials of the Licao Mansion beside him.

"Brother Weinan, at present, there is turmoil in the DPRK, and the situation is also unclear. It seems that the saint will not have the heart to take care of the affairs of Gaziro. The army will soon arrive at the city, and the internal war of the royal court of Gaojiluo is uncertain, if it is a war, it is easy to say. If it is peaceful, we will become prisoners of the Victory Order. It's too late for us to go, and it's too late for us to change. The person who spoke was a handsome young Confucian who sat in the first seat on his left, also wearing leather armor and a sword hanging from his waist.

"Li Wenruo, you are an eggless man, if you want to leave, I, Yan, will never escape. If the Fuying barbarian comes, he will just give Lao Tzu a sacrificial knife. A bearded man sitting on the right-hand side of the main seat in the room slapped the table and stood up.

The burly middle-aged man who was replaced by the young Confucian scholar in Weinan just wanted to persuade the two. The little official in charge of delivering the message from the Licao Mansion crossed the gate outside the courtyard and ran towards the inner hall where several people were, shouting as he ran: "My lord, there is news from the imperial court. My lord, there is news from the imperial court. ”

When everyone in the house heard the shouting, they hurriedly got up together and followed the burly man in Ziwei Pavilion to the courtyard door.

"What about the messenger of the saint?" Chen Weinan led everyone to the courtyard to see the little official who only delivered the news, but did not see the messenger, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"The Holy Envoy is now in the Shili Pavilion at the foot of Taiping Mountain, saying that the territory of Gaojiluo is currently unstable, and if he is captured by a strong man, it will damage the majesty of the saint. Tell the adults to go to the Ten Mile Pavilion to receive the order. "After the little official who delivered the message was about to convey the words, he fell down unsteadily. Only then did everyone remember that this little official was working day and night, and did not stop to send the news back. At this time, after the news was delivered, I fainted as soon as I was relieved.

"Carry it down so that you can recuperate. The Confucian scholar who called Li Wenruo ordered the little official to be carried down left and right. Turning his head to look at the burly middle-aged man, he stopped talking.

"Big things go. The eyes and ears of the saint are blocked by the adulterer, and I have no plan. Now that the time has passed, the big thing is gone! Traitors have misled the country. I, Chen, am ashamed of the saints and the ancestors. After that, the burly middle-aged man called Chen Weinan looked up at the sky, and the sides of his cheeks were covered with tears.

"Brother Weinan"

"Adult"

The young Confucian scholars and everyone shouted one after another, whether everyone in the Licao Mansion today is alive or dead, waiting for Chen Weinan's decision.

Chen Weinan gritted his teeth, his eyes became sharp, and he glanced around the people present.

"Let's go, let's go tonight. Taking advantage of the fact that Gao Ziluo's side did not react, we will go out of the city in batches tonight. Then meet at Shili Pavilion. ”

"No" everyone present clasped their fists in unison. The stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. But whether or not they could get out of the city alive and return to Great Xia alive became a new question in front of everyone.
