I am fish

Ah Xin's answer was quite aggressive, which was not the same as what Zhen Wenjun saw in Nanya.

When she was in Nanya, Ah Xin had something in her heart but she couldn't say it clearly. Her heart was soft, and her emotions and expressions on the outside were also very gentle.But now she came to the northern line with her private soldiers and came from another way. She had just fought with the Tanxi tribe, one of the four major Hu tribes, for fifteen days, and defeated the [-] Tanxi army with [-] troops. All their weapons and food were seized.

Ah Xin's heart was burning with excitement. Hearing that Meng Liang had been restrained, the joy of victory disappeared immediately.

2000 soldiers and horses tend to get tired after a long journey, so Ah Xin only brought [-] soldiers to Mengliang on fast horses to investigate the situation.

When we arrived at Shensan Peak, fifteen miles away from Mengliang, it was getting late. Ah Xin planned to climb up the mountain in the dark and build a watchtower on the top of the mountain.As soon as they walked to the foot of the mountain, they found that there was a fire on the mountain. Ah Xin told everyone to go up the mountain carefully.

Ah Xin didn't think that the Chongjin people would abandon their horses and run up the mountain. Going up the mountain was meaningless to them, and they would lose their greatest advantage. If they were ambushed in the mountains, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It is very likely that they are the remnants of the people who escaped from Mengliang.But didn't these refugees go to understand the county for refuge?What did you go to Sansanfeng for?Curious, Ah Xin led people up the mountain secretly, and then met Zhen Wenjun.

Ah Xin doesn't like Wei Tingxu.She always felt that it was Wei Tingxu who tricked Li Yanyi into embarking on a treasonous path. If Wei Tingxu hadn't bewitched people's hearts, Li Yanyi wouldn't want to seize power, and wouldn't have killed so many princes and ministers in vain.Now the army rushing to Jin has slaughtered wantonly in the territory of Dayu, causing heavy casualties, precisely because of the continuous internal fighting.The emperor and the eldest princess of the central court are fighting each other for power, accusing rumors, why the Hu people don't care about the fat meat of the Central Plains?If Wei Tingxu hadn't provoked them, Li Yanyi and Li Ju would have worked together, military generals and civil servants would have broken the gold, perhaps the Hu clan would have been driven away long ago, and they would not have fallen to the current situation where the corpses are everywhere in the territory of Dayu.

Ah Xin has always thought that Wei Tingxu is a wicked person, just like the witch who used sorcery in many horror stories she heard when she was a child, her methods are treacherous and cunning, which is beyond human comprehension.What made Ah Xin even more uneasy was that she had no idea what Wei Tingxu was thinking.During the years when Ah Xin and Li Yanyi were inseparable, Wei Tingxu often appeared beside Li Yanyi.This child's legs are disabled, sitting on a four-wheeled cart, she can't feel her emotions, sorrows, joys, thoughts or plans at all, but Li Yanyi still thinks highly of her and asks her opinion on everything.Ah Xin made it clear several times that this person is not available.

"She is a poisonous snake." A Xin said, "You raise her so that she feels good when she bites, and you don't know the pain until she turns her head back to bite you."

Li Yanyi never directly answered her doubts about Wei Tingxu, and coaxed her like a child.

As time went by, the conflict between Li Yanyi and Li Ju became more and more acute, and after it became more and more superficial, what Ah Xin feared most happened.Wei Tingxu contributed to Li Yanyi's transformation from a well-educated eldest princess to a courtier who wanted to cover the sky with one hand.Ah Xin once thought about killing Wei Tingxu, or throwing everything she was doing behind the scenes into the light, exposing her identity, and asking other political enemies to eradicate her, but in the end she didn't do that.

The reason why she knew Wei Tingxu's identity was because Li Yanyi knew everything about her. If she took advantage of this to cut off Wei Tingxu's head, she would be too despicable to take advantage of Li Yanyi's feelings.

Although in the end they seldom interacted with each other because of their family's discord, she felt that she had broken up with Li Yanyi, but Li Yanyi didn't think so.

Maybe it's really bad luck.Over the years, she and Li Yanyi often got back together because of some messy things, even if she wanted to be strangers to Li Yanyi, Li Yanyi would pull her back to her side again and again.For Li Yanyi, maybe they never broke up.

Some time ago, the matter of Furong San made her very distressed. Fortunately, she went to find her mentor, who gave her some medicine and treated her with mental methods, and finally achieved initial results.Now she still feels uncomfortable from time to time, and her inner demons are still there, but they can be controlled.After arriving in northern Xinjiang, she had to keep up her spirits every day, and Ah Xin had no time to think about Furongsan.

Until meeting Zhen Wenjun, it reminded her of Wei Tingxu, and she naturally thought of the taste of Furongsan.Ah Xin's heart fluttered slightly, and she immediately bit the flesh in her mouth, letting the pain divert her attention.

Ah Xin said that she would fight back to Mengliang, but Zhen Wenjun would not believe her words, but Zhen Wenjun has seen Ah Xin's power, so he is really amazing, maybe she can really do it.

Ah Xin is Xie Fuchen's daughter, Xie Fuchen is the chief culprit who killed her mother, Ah Xin is not happy with her, and she is also unhappy with Ah Xin.But now that the enemy is at hand, Ah Xin needs Zhen Wenjun to inform Meng Liang of the battle situation, and Zhen Wenjun also needs Ah Xin's help.

The two wise men put aside their conflicts tacitly for the time being. When Ah Xin asked them why they were here, Zhen Wenjun described how Mengliang was conquered, how many soldiers died and how many escaped, where did the pursuers go, and where did Li Ju go? I don't know where I went... I told Ah Xin one by one.

After hearing this, Ah Xin looked at Zhen Wenjun with some surprise: "You are clever and know what to pay attention to."

"Why did you go up the mountain?"

"Huzi is used to galloping on the grasslands, with iron horses as his legs, and doesn't like to climb mountains. I want to build a watchtower on the three peaks to monitor every move of the beards. Then I will make a plan and go back." Ah Xin said, "Mengliang must not Throw it away, otherwise this place will become a fortress that Huer can attack, retreat and defend."

"Yes." Ah Xin agreed with her, "and the speed must be fast. The Hu thieves stretched their battle line too long, and rushed in from the north in one go. They had exhausted their strength when they beat Mengliang, and they urgently needed to rest and feed their horses." Rest up. Once they finish their recuperation, our odds of winning will be reduced by [-]%."

Ah Xin didn't expect that the witch's assistant would have some thoughts: "So you didn't retreat to Jie County, but you wanted to fight back?"

"No..." Zhen Wenjun said, "There are only a few hundred people here, and I am not so overconfident. I just want to keep everyone here alive, and I don't know that everyone will retreat to Zhizhi County."

Ah Xin looked down, and there was a thin thorn less than two fingers away from her ankle.This kind of thorn can be seen everywhere in Mengliang Mountain, and it is extremely hard in the winter, and it is easy to be scratched by it if you don't pay attention when walking.People who march usually hang their heads on their waists, and their lives are the most important thing. Who would pay attention to the few thorns under their feet that will only scratch the skin a little.But it's different now.Ah Xin noticed that the thorns at the foot moved in a strange way. It was buried under the frozen soil and connected horizontally to form a long line. Part of the thorns of the thorns would be exposed every two palm widths, which seemed to be intentionally hidden. .Others might not notice it, but Ah Xin is used to walking similar wild roads, even if there is something wrong with the atmosphere, she can smell it keenly.

Ah Xin pulled out the sword on her back, picked up thorns, and asked Zhen Wenjun, "Is this the trap you set up? Did you put poison on it?"

Poison was indeed applied.

When I first went up the mountain, a man saw a bunch of red fruits. He picked them up and put them in his mouth. Ah Xi shouted, "Don't eat them! It's poisonous!" The man swallowed the fruit. The shout immediately spit out the fruit.

"Don't you think it's strange that such a beautiful fruit suddenly appeared in the cold and barren mountains? If it could be eaten, it would have been eaten by all kinds of animals. It's your turn! This is red snake fruit, and there is Very poisonous." Axi said, "It's a good thing you haven't bitten, otherwise you would be a corpse now."

Zhen Wenjun looked back, and it really was a snake fruit.Although Ah Xi looks silly on weekdays, he is actually very useful at critical moments.

Zhen Wenjun casually took off the helmet of a soldier beside him, took off all the snake fruits he could find, threw them into the helmet, smashed them with stones, and painted them on the thorns.Shen Sanfeng is not too big, she intends to smear the poisonous juice on the thorns, connect the thorns together and set up a preliminary defensive trap around the mountain, if the beards really come after them, they will die if they get caught.

Zhen Wenjun felt that the trap was set up in a secret way, seeing his compatriots a little excited just now, he almost forgot to remind Ah Xin.

Ah Xin didn't need her to say anything, and immediately discovered the trap.

"Cough. Yes." Zhen Wenjun admitted honestly.

"Next time, use some weeds to cover up, it will be easier to be discovered." Ah Xin stepped over the thorns and went to the top of the mountain. Zhen Wenjun didn't care about her. After setting up all the traps conscientiously, he patrolled around and thought for a while. , I went to pull the grass and cover it by myself, and returned to the top of the mountain after working until midnight when I couldn't stand the cold.

When they got back to the top of the mountain, it was pitch black, and Ah Xin didn't let them light a fire to keep warm, so he planted a torch on the ground for light.Otherwise, her watchtower would be spotted by Hu Erjian before there was a shadow.

Zhen Wenjun was going to the battlefield, he was wearing armor, but now he escaped, all his clothes were in Mengliang City, the armor was already freezing cold, he didn't dare to touch it with his fingers, for fear that a layer of skin would be glued off if he touched it.What Ah Xin said was quite right, but staying in the mountains on such a cold day, it would be really cold without a fire.

Zhen Wenjun couldn't take it anymore, so he took off his cold armor and rubbed his body to keep warm.

"So cold?" Ah Xin glanced, not only Zhen Wenjun, but hundreds of other people were also shivering with purple lips from the cold.

Ah Xin took off her cloak and threw it to Zhen Wenjun.

Zhen Wenjun looked at her in surprise, never expecting her to do this.

"Come here and bake it when it's cold." Ah Xin was wearing a brown coat and sitting on a hard rock beside the torch. Someone with such a heartwarming gesture.

Could it be some conspiracy?Zhen Wenjun was vigilant instinctively, so he didn't put on his cloak—after all, Ah Xin is Xie Fuchen's daughter.

"Don't get me wrong, I hate Wei Tingxu very much, so I don't like you either." A Xin saw her worry and said bluntly, "But Mengliang is in danger now, and it's time to employ people. If you freeze to death here in vain It's still a pity. You have to survive and take Meng Liang back with me."

After all, the soldiers behind her followed her and took off their jackets to protect the disabled soldiers from the cold.At first, the remnant soldiers were embarrassed, so Ah Xin said, "Put them on. You recruits are weak and need these. Save your lives for me. It must be a fierce battle to attack Mengliang."

Zhen Wenjun found that Ah Xin had an irresistible prestige, she was also a woman, but she was able to teach the two thousand followers to obey her, and even the remnant soldiers put on cotton clothes to keep out the cold after her words.

No wonder Li Yanyi likes her so much and praises her everywhere as a rare general.

She is indeed a very powerful person.

After eating some food dug back by Axi to satisfy his hunger, the exhausted Zhen Wenjun quickly fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhen Wenjun, who had slept all night curled up against the tree trunk, was awakened by the sound of logging. When she opened her eyes, she saw a simple watchtower with five steps built up.

Ah Xin stood on the watchtower to test its stability. She stepped on the watchtower a few times, but the watchtower didn't show any signs of shaking, so she gave a thumbs up to the watchtower and walked down.

Snowflakes fell on her black hair, she was not cold, the tip of her nose and ten fingertips were red from the cold, but she didn't care at all, giving people the illusion that "it's not cold here at all".

"Are you awake?" Ah Xin tossed her a piece of peeled tree root, "It's very sweet, let's have it for breakfast. Eat it quickly. After eating, let's discuss how to counterattack Meng Liang."

Zhen Wenjun saw that she was so straightforward, and immediately gnawed on the tree roots.This tree root is somewhat moist and really sweet, but it takes a long time for Zhen Wenjun to chew it and swallow it.

"If you have any plans and ideas, tell them all." Ah Xin continued to cut the roots of the tree with the dagger, and then handed it to the other soldiers around.

Zhen Wenjun said: "Since ancient times, water attack, earth attack and fire attack have been used most often to attack cities. I suggest water attack."

"Oh why?"

"Chongjin is a horse nationality. They have been growing up in the grasslands. They must not be good at water, and they can't even swim. Ten miles away from Mengliang City is the section of Xixian County in the north of Changshui. If the timing is right, the embankment will be breached and water will be poured, and the Jin army will be disintegrated in an instant."

Ah Xin didn't show any surprise, but became a little distressed: "I've thought about this method, but it's easier said than done. Can you make a 'level'?"

"Water... flat?" Zhen Wenjun had never heard of this thing.

"If you want to attack by water, first set the level. If there is no level to measure the height of the terrain, not only will the water not flood the city, but it may form ditches outside the city, making it more difficult for us to attack the city."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Ah Xin really had a lot of experience, and she thought of everything that Zhen Wenjun didn't expect.

In fact, in her heart, there is someone who should know what level is, and even know how to make level. Zhen Wenjun thought, this person is Bu Jie.It's a pity that I was soft-hearted and didn't give in to Bu Jie to follow, what a mistake.Zhen Wenjun was afraid that he, a Confucian scholar, would lose his life easily on the battlefield, so he didn't let him follow, otherwise he could be a counselor.

Zhen Wenjun really regretted it.

The news that Mengliang City was captured soon spread back to Runing, saying that Mengliang was massacred and tens of thousands of people died.The emperor temporarily retreated to Xie County in the west, intending to gather the remnants to attack Mengliang again.

The people of Runing still remember how great the battle was when Li Ju personally conquered it.Meng Liang was lost just after arriving at the front line, so the next step is to break through Guan Yang?Thinking of the ferocious beard in the legend, the people of Dayu were even more frightened and uneasy.

The turbulent loess righteous men were like locusts, gathering as many as 12 in an instant, taking advantage of the right time, place and people, they quickly killed the city of Runing.When the gate of Runing City was about to be smashed open, the heavenly soldiers killed the farmers and bandits with wooden sticks and iron rakes, captured the loess righteous general alive, beheaded his head and scraped it on the city wall.

Chen Chu, the leader of the Loess righteous warriors, wondered, didn't Dayu's army go to attack Jin?How could it be possible to kill so many people?There are at least 10 people.

These 10 soldiers were the [-] soldiers that Xie Fuchen had secretly stationed in Mengliang, and were later forcibly entrusted to the stage by Li Yanyi.Under the personal command of Xie Fuchen, they repelled the loess righteous men and temporarily saved Runing.

Xie Fuchen was fighting at the gate of the city, but Li Yanyi killed two of Xie Fuchen's former students on the grounds of delaying the military situation, further disintegrating the power of Li Ju's group.Xie Fuchen was attacked by the enemy, and wanted to end the war in the north quickly and let Li Ju return to Beijing, but it was difficult to take out the [-] troops to go to the front.

Xie Fuchen understands the current situation.Apart from her own insistence, Ah Xin also brought Xie Fuchen's secret orders with her to go north. Xie Fuchen asked her to secretly protect Li Ju from being assassinated by the assassins sent by Li Yanyi.Ah Xin was already a private soldier, so it was convenient to move around Li Ju, and she was her own daughter, with high martial arts skills and resourcefulness, she was the best candidate to protect the emperor.But he was also worried that if his daughter, who had fought for many years, continued to expand her prestige and reputation on the front line, one of the things that would encourage Li Yanyi's voice in promoting women as officials and generals.On the other hand, the Son of Heaven is suspicious, and it has been like this since ancient times. How did Wei Zixiu die, and how the Wei family was forced to the present state step by step by the late emperor, he saw everything in his eyes. He didn't want Ah Xin to Bu Weizi followed in his footsteps.

So he would rather keep the [-] soldiers in Runing than send them to Ah Xin.

Now that the domestic situation is becoming more and more severe, there will be a lot of problems in how to do it.

Xie Fuchen felt an unprecedented crisis.

The smog outside Runing City was blocked by the thick city walls, but the battle reports ahead and the rumors spread in the streets and alleys still made the women and children in Situ's Mansion terrified.

Except Wei Tingxu.

Wei Tingxu went out early in the morning, and told A Ran to pick some pots of wandering flowers.

The wandering flowers bloom quickly, and it will be spring soon. After picking them, you have to arrange them. When the weather is warm, the wandering flowers will climb all over the yard. When Wen Jun comes back, he will like these flowers.

A Ran said that it was so dangerous outside, and the loess warriors didn't know when they would come back again, what should they do if something happened?It's better not to go out if she has bad legs and feet.

Wei Tingxu insisted on going out to pick flowers, and let Xiaohua follow, while Lingbi stayed to help her spread the soil, and the flowers could be planted directly after buying them.

Xiaohua and the secret guards who are always by her side escort Wei Tingxu to the flower market, but she did not expect to meet Xie Fuchen here.

Xie Fuchen was standing at the door of a shop specializing in selling all kinds of vines and herbs, and his attendants carried the pots of herbs to the carriage.

The eyes of the two met unexpectedly, and Wei Tingxu called out respectfully:

"Thank you, Sima."

Xie Fuchen quickly regained his composure after seeing her slightly startled at first.

The two stood in the noisy market, and countless people hurried past them, and very few people would pay attention to these two people who looked at each other strangely.

Xiaohua stood behind Wei Tingxu, holding the four-wheeler tightly with the push handle, the veins on her arms were tense, she could rush up and punch Xie Fuchen's head at any time.Similarly, Xie Fuchen's followers who smelled something strange stopped their work one after another, surrounded them from both sides, stared at them, and were ready to pounce on them and tear Wei Tingxu into pieces.

"I regretted not killing you back then. Xie Fuchen said regret in his mouth, but his posture was high and high, with the arrogance of an elder to a younger generation, "I regret it. I shouldn't have shown mercy when you were a child.I should let the dog eat you, and let you and Wei Zixiu be chopped into minced meat together.Back then, I didn't expect to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and let you plot against me, plot against the whole Da Yu. "

Every word and every word of Xie Fuchen cites the old story of Wei Tingxu being imprisoned. He knows that this is Wei Tingxu's wound that cannot heal, and it is a nightmare that he can't get rid of for the rest of his life.Even if you forget it occasionally, you will return to the prison in Luchuan in a certain midnight dream, and no matter how prosperous and happy you are, you will immediately be overwhelmed by pain.

This is the psychology of all normal people, Xie Fuchen can be sure.

This is Xie Fuchen's counterattack, he wants to make Wei Tingxu suffer, just like when he knew the truth.

Wei Tingxu looked at Xie Fuchen indifferently, and when he spoke, he seemed to be perfunctory to an unfamiliar relative in the countryside:

"That's right, it's been nearly ten years since I left Rangchuan, and Xie Sima has aged a lot. All kinds of things were engraved in my heart at the time, and every time I think about it, it's really unforgettable for me." After she finished speaking, she turned to Xiaohua, "Two hundred pots of flowers are all set. Yet?"

Xiaohua's throat rolled, for some reason, Wei Tingxu made her nervous at this moment: "It's settled."

Wei Tingxu: "Then let's go back. It seems that it's going to snow again this day, Xie Sima should go back earlier, the ground will be frozen after a while, it's not easy to go."

Xiaohua pushed her past Xie Fuchen.The murderous aura of the hidden guards of the Wei Mansion pressed down from above, and Xie Fuchen's followers did not back down, showing a strong fighting spirit.

Xie Fuchen looked at Wei Tingxu's thin back in a daze, and he gradually understood some things.

He didn't put Wei Tingxu to death at the beginning, but now this woman has indeed become his biggest crisis, even the crisis of the whole Da Yu.

This is his deadliest mistake.

After leaving the flower market, Xiao Hua couldn't help asking:

"Girl, is Lingbi also part of the plan?"

Wei Tingxu didn't look back at her, he didn't know where he was looking, maybe he was admiring the snowflakes that were falling one after another.

"At first I thought I could control everything, but now I realize that the human heart is the most difficult thing to control." Wei Tingxu raised his hand, and the last snowflakes from the spring of Shenchu ​​Ten Years fell on her slender fingers, "Yu She, to me, is both."

What Xiaohua asked was Lingbi, but Wei Tingxu didn't know who it was.
