"Exactly, the soldiers and horses of the Great Xingtai of the Northern Wei Dynasty have approached the camp of our army, but I am afraid that when the time comes, there will really be a fight, and the safety of the prince will not be guaranteed. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wei Rui nodded and said.

Although there was no mockery in Wei Rui's tone, Xiao Hong was looked at by this Wei Rui these days, and the Pingbei general in front of him hated to let him leave quickly, he coughed dryly twice, and did not answer, at this time, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that he could use Xiao Zong's troops to pull his imperial brother down from the throne.

"This---- this, I'll wait a little longer. Xiao Hong said shamelessly.

"What are you waiting for?" Wei Rui raised his eyes to look at Xiao Hong, and when Xiao Hong saw the sharp light in Wei Rui's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head in fright.

"The sons born to the emperor today have most of the names of unification, outline, succession, continuation, and discipline, and Xiao Zong privately changed his name to Xiao Zhan, and he no longer regards himself as Xiao Yan's descendant in his heart. Lord Wang, I don't know if you are so obsessed and refuse to leave, the last general really wants to know, what are you thinking?" Wei Rui's tone suddenly became cold, and Xiao Hong's heart jumped after hearing this, he seemed to understand something between the lines of Wei Rui's words, and at this moment he faced the general Wei Ruiwei in front of him, and the fear in his heart suddenly flourished, this person has always been quiet, could it be him? Could it be that he knew something.

"General Wei is too worried, just because this king has not made any achievements in the army before, and these days I want to take advantage of the time to regain the lost territory, kill the enemy on the battlefield with all the generals, and make some merits so that I can go back to see my imperial brother. Xiao Hong didn't blush at all when he said this.

Wei Rui heard Xiao Hong's unashamed words, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "What the prince said is indeed reasonable, it seems that the last general doesn't understand the prince's original intention: it turns out that the prince wants to make some merits and then return to Beijing to face the saint." ”

"That's exactly what this king meant!" Xiao Hong replied proudly.

"It's a pity----" Wei Rui said coldly, "What you can think of, the emperor has already thought of now: the emperor has already prepared to drive the expedition in person, but you have thought about it, once the emperor comes, will this credit ---- still have the prince's share?"

Xiao Hong gasped after hearing this, he couldn't imagine that his eldest brother, who had been shrinking in Tongtai Temple and had refused to come out to preside over the government, was going to go into battle at this moment and drive the expedition in person. He originally had a glimmer of hope pinned on Xiao Zong, but when he heard what Wei Rui said, he completely gave up Xiao Zong, a foreign aid.

"Since the imperial brother wants to supervise the war in person, then I am also happy to be idle and return to the capital to help my imperial brother deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China. "Of course, Xiao Hong is going to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, if he doesn't go at this time, I'm afraid that it will really be a long night.

"It's far away, and it's better for the last general to send someone to send the prince. Wei Rui saw that Xiao Hong couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, so he also stood up and said a few words.

"No, no, the soldiers under General Wei still have to follow the front line of the prince to kill the enemy, but I can't delay the recovery of the lost territory because of me. Xiao Hong smiled reluctantly.

"The center of the prince's danger is the soldiers on the front line, I Wei Huaiwen really admire it very much, the prince must also pay attention to safety along the way, although this Yuan Ying was defeated in Zhongli, but his strength is still quite strong, if the prince meets Yuan Ying's scattered troops on the road, and don't fight with them, it is better to take a detour to the south. Wei Rui said slowly.

"Xiao Hong, thank you for the general's kindness, farewell!" Xiao Hong almost gritted his teeth and said these two sentences.

"The prince has been going all the way, and he will not send it at the end. Wei Rui also replied with something to say.

That Xiao Hong went out of the palace in a huff, found the deputy general Lu Seng Zhen, and told him in a low voice to go and investigate Xiao Zong's situation, as soon as Lu Seng Zhen heard the word Xiao Zong, his legs became weak, and he couldn't understand why the sixth prince still refused to give up the defected second prince at this point.

"Lord Wang---- I can't hide it, now you and my subordinates are all looked at to death, think how dare we go out of the city to inquire when the four gates are closed in this Zhongli city? At this time, it is late at night, if we venture out of the city, won't we be treated as spies?" Lu Seng Zhen said in embarrassment.

Xiao Hong was also helpless after hearing this, but he couldn't act according to his plan, and he was always unwilling.

"What I'm most worried about now is the letters in Xiao Zong's hands, if they fall into the hands of Wei Rui and others, it will be very bad. Xiao Zong must be found and the letter back. Xiao Hong's worries at this time are not unreasonable, just now after he came out of Wei Rui, he carefully thought about the whole process of his conversation with Wei Rui, although Wei Rui is not obvious on his face, but deep down, he has an extremely disgusted feeling for him, Xiao Hong has dealt with officials in the court over the years, he knows a lot about what kind of attitude those people have towards him, although Su Rili does not have much contact with this General Wei, but he knows Wei Rui's personality and temper, if he doesn't know something, he will definitely not show such feelings to himself。

"But didn't you also deliver the letter from the lady lady to the second prince, ---- the prince, then how can you get it back?" Lu Shengzhen didn't understand what this prince was thinking in his heart.

"Shut up, this matter must not be known to others, it is a capital crime of killing the head!" Xiao Hong hurriedly stopped him and continued.

At this time, Xiao Hong was also in a dilemma, he took great pains to get such a letter from Wu Shuyuan, he wanted to use it to impress Xiao Zong to help him succeed, but he didn't expect that the whereabouts of this letter are now unknown, if Xiao Zong is captured and takes out the letter he wrote to him, it is a criminal evidence that he can't erase if he wants to, and at that time, even if the imperial brother wants to defend himself, he is only afraid of ----

While the two of them were muttering outside the gate of the mansion, the overseer Pan Linghu led the soldiers who patrolled the night back to the mansion, and he saw Xiao Hong hurriedly dismount and pay homage.

"Lord Wang, the last general is rude. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Pan Jianjun, the prison army is really hard, and he went to patrol the night so late. Xiao Hong hurriedly stepped forward, naturally overjoyed in his heart, this person was okay with him in the past few days, and now he could ask him about Xiao Zong.

"Where is the prince, this night patrol is my business, I don't know what the prince is coming to so late?" Pan Linghu didn't know what Xiao Hong came to the house late at night, so he hurriedly asked.

"Ah---- that's the case, when he came, the emperor was very concerned about Xiao Zong's whereabouts, and specially ordered me to pay attention to his situation, you see that I have been in the army these days, and I have not been on the front line, and I don't know where to inquire about Xiao Zong. Xiao Hong rolled his eyes and said two sentences indiscriminately.

Pan Linghu was also stunned in his heart, thinking about how the emperor came out and turned the opposite, sometimes ordering himself to arrest Xiao Zong and bring him back to the court, and sometimes caring so much about this son, it is indeed incomprehensible.

"The matter of this second prince, I have heard several captured Wei soldiers mention it, I heard that he was shot and wounded by a Wei general, and his injuries were extremely serious, and he is now recuperating in the Yuan Ying army. I don't know ---- prince."

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just asking, nothing else. When Xiao Hong heard this, he hurriedly interrupted Pan Linghu's words, "Pan Jianjun, you see that it is not too early this day, I have to rush back to rest, so I won't disturb the prison army." ”

"Then the prince walks slowly all the way!" Pan Linghu also felt inexplicable, so he had to watch Xiao Hong and Lu Seng Zhen and his party leave in a hurry.

Pan Linghu came to the lobby and saw Wei Rui: "General, I'm back from my night patrol." ”

Wei Rui turned around and said, "The prison army has worked hard these days, in order to clear the enemy stragglers around Zhongli City, it is not easy for the prison army to patrol day and night. ”

"It's nothing hard to patrol the night, it's just that I just met the prince, and he mentioned something to the last general, and now I think about it quite strangely. Pan Linghu was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't know why, so he was naturally extremely depressed.

"Well, what's not going to be sorted out?" Wei Rui asked.

"The prince suddenly asked about the second prince Xiao Zong, and I casually told the prince that Xiao Zong was seriously injured and was recuperating in the Yuan Ying Army. Pan Linghu looked at Wei Rui in front of him, feeling uneasy, "General, did the last general say a little too much to the prince." ”

Wei Rui shook his head after hearing this: "The prison army thinks too much, the prince just asks casually, and you just answer with the truth, and there is nothing wrong to say." You're here tonight, and I'm just about to arrange for you to do something. ”

"General, please speak!"

"In recent times, the Wei army will inevitably counterattack, I have to leave Zhongli because I have more important things, and when the Yuan Ying army counterattacks, I hope that the supervision army and General Chang will fight side by side, and we must expel the Wei army from the territory of my Great Liang. ”

"General Wei, please relax, I will work with General Chang to guard Zhongli City. Pan Linghu hurriedly agreed.

Wei Rui waited for Pan Linghu to leave, and then slowly walked to the courtyard, at this time it was nearly three watches, but he did not have the slightest sleepiness, the sixth prince Xiao Hong's rebellion was already obvious, but today's emperor is extremely protective of his relatives, even if he can show a witness, Physical evidence, it is not necessarily that the emperor can take down his own brother, but he will hold a grudge against himself and find a way to seal his mouth, at that time he is afraid that it will affect future generations---- Wei Rui thought of this, his heart was extremely sad, he wanted to do the right thing, but the cruel reality made him unable to do it.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why have you become so confused in the face of your family? Wei Rui muttered silently in his heart, he didn't know if the emperor at this time could understand the anxiety and hardship in his heart----

At this time, Xiao Yan is slowly walking into the cold palace where Wu Shuyuan is, he rarely comes in this cold palace, since the second son Xiao Zong rebelled and fled, he was angry and beat Wu Shuyuan into this cold palace, so many years have passed, he has never come in to see her, and now he quietly walked into this cold palace, he looked at the scene of Xiao Suo in the cold palace, thinking that Wu Shuyuan has lived here alone for many years, and his mood must be even more desolate.

"Who?" Wu Shuyuan's frightened voice came from the palace, she stayed alone in the dark, she was not used to having someone light up at night, and no one had come to see her at night over the years, so she was naturally extremely scared in her heart.

Xiao Yan's eunuchs raised the palace lamp high, so that the emperor could see Wu Shuyuan's location clearly, Xiao Yan saw Wu Shuyuan curled up on the bed at this time, the quilt on the bed was rolled up in a mess, and she was held in her arms, she was unkempt at this time, her face that had not been washed for many days was covered with a layer of gray color, and her round eyes were staring at the eunuch holding the palace lamp high in horror.

Xiao Yan couldn't imagine that Wu Shuyuan, who was overwhelmed by the country and the city, was so depressed at this time, he suddenly felt sad in his heart, thinking that after he killed Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu, he saw Wu Shuyuan in the harem, Wu Shuyuan at that time had apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a pair of wonderful eyes and autumn waves, after Xiao Yan saw her, he had an urge to want her, he didn't care about the good words and persuasion of his friends Fan Yun and Xiao Ziliang, and insisted on receiving this Wu Shuyuan into his harem, that time was his happiest days, he was with Wu Shuyuan day and night, and completely forgot his Ming Emperor Xiao Luan's entrustment, forgetting that he was still shouldering the heavy responsibility of the auxiliary country at that time----

Xiao Yan sighed softly, thinking that because of the woman in front of him, his friend Fan Yun for many years threw his hand away, and Xiao Ziliang, the king of the tomb, has since become eccentric, taciturn, no longer buried, and devoted himself to studying Buddhism.

Today, the beauty is no longer there, Xiao Yan has also passed the period of anger at this time, and there is no resentment in his heart towards the poor woman in front of him, he suddenly wants to hold her in his arms again, just like when he just saw her flower and moon.

"Who are you?" asked Wu Shuyuan's mournful voice.

"Shuyuan, it's a couplet. Xiao Yan replied to her softly.

"Lian, you are Lian, hahahaha----" Wu Shuyuan laughed loudly.

Her laughter was particularly harsh in the silent night, Xiao Yan frowned slightly after hearing this, this woman is too crazy.

"You said you were Lian?" Wu Shuyuan asked in a low voice after laughing.

"Of course it's linked. ”

"No, you're not Lian, the throne wasn't yours in the first place, Xiao Yan, you killed Xiao Baojuan, you killed Xiao Baorong, you stole their throne---- you killed them, you're still coming to kill me today, aren't you?" Wu Shuyuan screamed.
