Under the cold moonlight, there was a lot of silence in the Jade Dragon Pass. Suddenly, there was a very heavy sound, and the gate of the "quack" pass slowly opened, and a neat line walked in unhurriedly. The sound of horses' hooves was very crisp, piercing the silence of the night. When the group arrived at the barracks of General Sima, they dismounted and tied them to the stable, and they all entered.

The soldiers on the city wall looked there, and Sima Shou often returned from exploring at night, and did not do anything. Only the guard chief on duty, named Li Hu, was close to the guards of the Jade Dragon Pass, and he was a little suspicious, and he always felt that the few soldiers in the team entering the city seemed to be strangers.

Sima Weiguang and the three followed his brother into the barracks and arranged for Zhao Wang and Liu Tong to live in the barracks. Sima Weiguang still followed his brother, came out of the back door of the barracks, and walked along the wall to Sima Weichao's residence in the shadows.

Only then did they relax, laugh for a while, and greet each other again.

Sima Weiguang said, "Brother, I have lost a lot of weight in the past few months. ”

Wei Chao looked at himself, "Where." Are you okay at home?"

"It's all good, it's all good, it's all good. My sister-in-law and nephew are also fine, I didn't sue them this time, and I didn't ask them to do anything. ”

Wei Chao laughed, "It's okay." What are you here for?"

Sima Weiguang calmed down and listened to the movement outside.

"Don't worry, I won't have anyone here. ”

"It's an important matter, Daddy asked me to tell you personally, at the end of this month, someone from the imperial court will come to close it, and the edict will be taken to remove the lieutenant and replace your brother. Sima Weiguang said happily.

Wei Chao frowned, "This matter...... The lieutenant is the general's, does the general know?"

Sima Weiguang also muttered in his heart, he knew that this matter was not so simple, "The general should not know." ”

Wei Chao's brows tightened, "That's not easy to do, what are the people from this court doing here?"

Sima Weiguang lowered his voice, "It is said that it is to restrain this great general, and to divide the general's power into the state city." ”

Sima Weichao sighed, "The imperial court has never known the situation at this pass, and the safety of the border pass can all depend on the general's control. He thought for a moment, "That's what father meant, too?"

Sima Weiguang thought that his brother must not know the general's private affairs, secretly communicating with foreign clans, expanding military strength, and having bad intentions, but he didn't say, "It's what my father meant, he talked to Nagan Youxian, I don't know the specifics." ”

"Well, the general's power is in full swing, and it also needs to be restricted here," he paused again, "but don't get into trouble, I think my father must have an idea." ”

Sima Weiguang was silent for a while, "Father must have a plan." My father wants me to come and sue you, and at the end of the month, I will collect some soldiers from outside and come back, and if the lieutenant does not listen to the court, he will be crushed by him. ”

"I know," Sima Weichao snickered, "There are a few more outside the gate, winter is coming, and I am about to take them back." He's got an excuse for that.

Sima Weichao then put away his smile, "There is one more thing, since Weiguang is also here, then take a trip for me." In the section of the old Great Wall of Qingheling outside the pass, there is a Tucheng Pass, there are many soldiers stationed in it, and those soldiers also belong to our Yulong Pass, and they are sent to watch the wind outside the pass, and the guard of the Tucheng Pass is my good brother Sun Xingyi, I am not convenient to send someone to go, you go to a trip, just tell him, let him come to this Yulong Pass to station near it, and have a guard. You don't have to come back after you get to Natucheng Pass, you can go back to Guanli after passing through Natucheng Pass, and you can let Sun Xingyi take you there. It's also closer to our North Guanzhou City. ”

Sima Weiguang said, "That's good." What tokens do you need? ”

Sima Weichao took out half of the iron round ornament from the drawer, "Give it to him." ”

Sima Weiguang took it, thinking that his brother's plan was still coming quickly, and as soon as he told him that he was going to remove the captain, he had all planned how to deal with it.

Sima Weichao put his mind at ease, and said with a smile, "It's just right, you can also appreciate the magnificence of the Gobi outside this pass all the way, and it is not in vain to come to me." Natuchengguan is next to a town where the Khitan and the Han trade are very lively, you can also go there to take a look, a lot of new things, buy some to take back to your sister, but also buy some for your nephew. I'm so busy with defense that I don't have time to do it, and I'd love to check it out. As he spoke, they both burst out laughing.

Sima Weichao said again, "What's wrong with Sister Xiang, it's almost twenty, and I'm going to get married quickly." Does Father have any plans?"

"My father said that he wanted to be with the virtuous son, I also saw that son when I was a child, very smart, and read a lot, but Sister Xiang didn't agree, she wanted to follow Wu Jingshan. ”

Sima Weichao sighed and smiled, "Wu Jingshan is not bad, but his family is in business, and his father can't look down on him, and he has to stay here with Wu Jingshan." The old emperor died, but our father wanted to return to Chang'an in the Central Plains, but he couldn't bear to leave his sister here. ”

"Sister Sister, you know, she doesn't listen to this. said that after I married Miss General, Wu Jingshan's family would come to propose marriage. ”

"Recently, there have been a lot of border affairs, and the general has also folded many soldiers and sons, and this wedding is going to be postponed. ”

Sima Weichao sighed again, as if he was always pressing something on his chest, and his breath was not smooth, "What a difficult autumn this is, the Central Plains is also full of uprisings and troubles, and these many feudal towns don't listen to the central government, not only the general, the imperial court can't control it, and many disasters have also come out one after another, and it is not peaceful." ”

"Okay, brother won't talk about this, when this period is over, you can go home and have a look. ”

"Good. ”

The two chatted some gossip again, talked about a lot of previous things, talked about their childhood, and reminisced about the past, which inevitably made people sigh, and when the night was deeper, the two squeezed into the same bed, like when they were children, and fell asleep with their backs against their backs.
