I am fish

"Yes, often."

The four-wheeled vehicle was covered with thick, warm fur and a soft blanket. Xiao Hua had also arranged it in the same way before, and it was no different from the one that Wei Tingxu used to sit on.

The four-wheeled vehicle ran over the stone road and stood beside Wei Tingxu. Zhen Wenjun sat next to Wei Tingxu's lap, looked at the rare blue sky in winter, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal the iron wristbands he had been wearing all along.The brand-new iron wristband was very old, and it was covered with scratches from swords.

"The iron bracer has saved me many times. Every time she saves my life, I will toast her a glass of wine." Zhen Wenjun said, "I have fought a few battles in the past few years, and I haven't lost much. How outstanding the soldiers are, but I always remember one thing, which is exactly what Lingbi told me with her life. I can't be soft-hearted."

At the beginning, Ah Xun was let go because of her old love, and Lingbi died tragically in retrospect. She still feels heartbroken when she recalls that long rainy night in the 11th year of Shenchu.If she could be given a chance, she would definitely risk her life to save Lingbi's life.

But there is no such opportunity.

"On the way to Runing, I fought a few battles with Chongjin. I don't know if you have noticed, but there are many women and 6000 or [-]-year-old children in Chongjin's army. This time Chongjin can win in one fell swoop. Ru Ning has indeed made great determination and mobilized the strength of the whole family. Once I captured more than [-] people, half of them were women and children."

"and after?"

"No later, I killed them all."

Wei Tingxu didn't comment.

"After the killing, I drank a little too much with Bu Jie, Zhu Maosan, and the others. I asked them if I was doing right. Those prisoners of war should be spared, after all, they were women and children. Right or wrong, you are the only one who lives and dies. Those people look like women and children, but what about women and children? They are soldiers and kill people with knives, no different from men. Chongjin people are fierce and warlike, and they will not be grateful because you let them go. I will only find an opportunity to kill them back. If the general is soft-hearted and saves their lives today, the people of Dayu will die in the future. What the general has done is to exchange the lives of the alien wolves who invaded my Dayu in exchange for the innocent Dayu The lives of the people are nothing more than that.”

Wei Tingxu: "Bujie is right. In fact, you already knew it in your heart, but you have heard a lot of stories about benevolence, righteousness and kindness since you were a child. You are naturally a kind person. Killing women and children is a bit contradictory to your cognition. .”

Zhen Wenjun looked at her and smiled gently: "In the past, I would have thought you were cold-blooded, and what you said would be cruel words. But Lingbi's death and these years of living in troubled times have made me understand that it is right not to change my original intention. And it is right to carve out a cruel heart. What is wrong is regardless of the occasion, and what is wrong is tolerance to the wrong person.”

"At the beginning, your merciless sword was also because of Lingbi's request before he died?"

"I don't want to answer that question."

Wei Tingxu shrugged his shoulders lightly, probably because he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too hard, for fear that the wounds all over his body would burst open when he smiled.

"You, who used to say endlessly, started to know rejection, Wenjun, you have grown up."

"I have never told you that I am 22 years old."

"Well, you are four years younger than me."

Sure enough, she knew all along, everything.

"I think of Lingbi every day, and these days I think of Xiaohua even more. I remember that when the two of them accompanied me to travel around Dayu, they were only half-grown children. They took care of me without complaint and never complained. They They are my companions and important left and right hands that I grew up with. You know, I have always been handicapped, and they are also my legs. They have taken me to many, many places. Believe it or not, I thought about finishing Let them do what they like freely, leave me, leave Ru Ning or even leave Dayu, I will not interfere with anything they do. Lingbi likes traveling in mountains and rivers, Xiaohua likes cooking, I thought..."

This was only half a sentence, Wei Tingxu didn't finish, Zhen Wenjun was waiting for her to say it.

There is no following.

The two sat in the sun, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

Zhen Wenjun got up to put tea on the stove, and boiled water. When the water boiled slightly, she pinched some salt and sprinkled it on, then slowly skimmed off the foam.

Wei Tingxu leaned his head on the vermilion lacquer column, his eyelids were heavy: "You know how to fry tea."

"Yeah." When the water boiled again, scooped out a spoonful of water, added the ground tea that had been boiled and grinded into it, and slowly stirred it with a bamboo stick, "I've seen Xiaohua fry tea for you, and that's how it was done." After the water boils three times, pour back the spoonful of water that was scooped out just now, and the tea is ready.Zhen Wenjun poured the tea and broth into the cup and handed it to Wei Tingxu:

"It should be your taste."

Wei Tingxu took the teacup and looked at it for a moment: "You brought this teacup from Zhuo Jun's mansion."

"Well." Zhen Wenjun said, "After Runing was captured, I returned to Runing from the underground waterway to find my mother, but my mother couldn't find it, so I went to Zhuojun's mansion."

"How's Zhuojun Mansion?"

"It has also been looted, only two teacups were found."

"This is mine."

"Yes."

"Where's yours?"

"In the box in the house."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what."

"Thank you for snatching it out, proving that the Zhuojun Mansion once existed."

Zhen Wenjun pouted, but said nothing.

Wei Tingxu drank the tea quietly, and after putting down the teacup, a warmth entered her body from her throat, making her body that had been frozen for many days feel some warmth and comfort.

She said: "Xiao Hua's death, and the death of many loyal guards of the Wei family, were all my mistakes."

Attacking Runing was the most important thing at the end of the fifth year of Zhaowu, and it was also a key link in Wei Tingxu's plan.

At the beginning of Li Yanyi's ascension to the throne, Wei Tingxu had already found Li Feng before Wei Tingxu went to Wanxiang Road. Li Feng was indeed Li Ao's descendant.He was supposed to be a dragon and a phoenix, and he was supposed to be a crown prince who grew up in the palace without worrying about food and clothing, but he was reduced to stealing rice and food everywhere in Yanxing.

After finding Li Feng, she has been standing still. What she has to wait for is an opportunity, an opportunity for Da Yu's civil strife.

The weakness of the center is well known to everyone. Even if Li Yanyi is diligent in his administration, his forceful implementation of reforms will only pave the way for Wei Tingxu to become an official, and it will not be able to restore the fall of the Yushi Building.All the princes are secretly stockpiling strength. As long as Li Yanyi dies, the whereabouts of the young master will ignite the final fuse. What Wei Tingxu has been waiting for is the infighting among the princes, and he will show his cards after they consume each other.

At the beginning, Bo Chishen fought several victories in the north, and rushed to Jin to pay tribute to seek peace. Wei Tingxu saw all this, and guessed that this was a conspiracy by the Chongjin people, and wanted the Dayu Center to relax its vigilance.Wei Tingxu calculated that Chongjin was bound to win this time, but the speed with which Chongjin went south was unexpected.Wei Lun's suicide not only rescued the Wei family from Li Yanyi who was killing madly after being poisoned, but also escaped the attack of the Jin army by accident.

Wei Tingxu got rid of his confidant Xie Fuchen these years, and also successfully killed Li Yanyi, it was the time when his morale was at its peak.As soon as Li Feng was sent back to Runing, their Wei family occupied the best position.

Wei Jingan has always been a pioneer. He led his troops at the forefront and walked very fast. The main force of Zhang Sun Wuling followed closely behind. Wei Tingxu led more than 1 soldiers and horses and did not follow the main force. Eyes and ears ensure safety.

Wei Tingxu walked unhurriedly along the safe road that Wei Jingan had set up. The journey to Runing was long and boring, so she began to sort out the lists of all the generals and advisors of the Wei family and the Changsun family, as well as the list of all the generals and counselors who could be used in the future. The civil servants placed in the center.

After the inventory, something bothered her.There are many generals that can be used by the two families. Both the direct lineage and the collateral lineage are very united. This is the strongest point of the two families.

But they also have weaknesses.

Although there are many counselors, none of them is outstanding and can determine the world with one move.

Seeing Zhen Wenjun's rapid development in the past few years, he knew that steps played a vital role, which made Wei Tingxu even more eager to be a competent counselor.

Yanxing Cao Fei is the No. 1 choice of counselors she wants to have under her command.

At the beginning, she wanted to accept Cao Fei, and sent countless people to lobby, but all failed.This has nothing to do with whether Zhen Wenjun made trouble in it. Zhen Wenjun himself failed to get Cao Fei, and Cao Fei was finally conscripted by Lord Hou of Fan County.This Lord Hou quickly monopolized one side after rushing to Jin and defeating Runing, becoming a tyrant.

Yanxing, as a small county near Runing, is a fortress that can be attacked and defended.

Their Wei family and the eldest grandson's family were easily exhausted from the long drive from the south, and Runing must be heavily guarded, and it was definitely not something that could be defeated overnight.Wei Tingxu asked Wei Jing'an and Zhang Sun Wu to go first, taking advantage of Ru Ning's unpreparedness for a sneak attack, it would be best if he could get it, if he couldn't get it, don't fight hard.

She wants to take Yanxing as a stronghold. Nine times out of ten, Runing is not so easy to capture, and there is also a foothold for the army to retreat.And as long as Yan Xing is in hand, he will be able to form a line with many cities in the south, and then it will be a good opportunity to point his sword at Runing.Once the real dragon returns, what will happen to those princes in other places?

So the troops were divided into two groups, and Wei Tingxu led more than 1 people to walk slowly towards the small county town of Yanxing.

Wei Jing'an knew that his younger sister was smart, but he didn't have any experience in leading troops to fight.Although this Yanxing is small, she can think of the importance of this place, and others can also think that it may not be so easy to win.Before his departure, Wei Jingan would follow him all the year round, and Wei Xian, who had been a private soldier for many years and had quite a lot of experience in attacking cities, stayed behind to help Wei Tingxu open the way.

This Wei Xian is the nephew of Wei Lun's father's concubine's elder brother. He is eight feet tall and born with supernatural power.Wei Jingan left Wei Xian behind, and before leaving, he told him that he would obey Wei Tingxu's arrangement no matter what.

Wei Xian was only thinking of rushing to Runing and twisting a few bearded dog heads to relieve his anger, but he didn't expect that when he was about to arrive in Runing, Zilian left him to the disabled sister to attack Yan Xing!How can a small county like Yanxing need to be attacked?The city wall made of small adobes would be worn down after just two blows, and it would be impossible to send anyone there casually, but to let him go for such an overqualified person, what does Zi Lian think of him!

Wei Xian was so angry that he couldn't say it. After all, the Wei family is now powerful, and if he can really gain power in the center, he can also reap a lot of benefits.Besides, over the years, I heard that sister Zizhuo has put in a lot of effort. After all, she is a direct descendant, and she has become the first female official, so she can be regarded as a talkative person at home.

After comforting himself for a while, Wei Xian stayed with Wei Tingxu, and came to the outskirts of Yanxing to set up a camp, and worked out a siege plan with Wei Tingxu all night.Everything is ready, just wait for the spies to report back, and they will enter Yanxing tomorrow morning.

But just before dawn, Wei Xian, who had already mounted his horse, received an order to stay put and stand by. This order really puzzled him.

It turned out that the spies sent back news that the person guarding the city this time was Cao Fei.

Didn't Cao Fei already leave Yanxing for Fan County, how could she appear here again?

This doubt was answered after a slight turn of the mind.

Everyone can see the importance of Yan Xing. If Wei Tingxu wants it, others will definitely not want to give it to him.In order to prevent the Wei family from climbing to the top, the Marquis of Fan County sent Cao Fei to sit here.After all, Cao Fei is a native of Yanxing, and defending the city here takes advantage of the right time, place and people.

Wei Tingxu knew that Wei Xian was brave, and he was afraid that not only Yan Xing's city gate, but also Cao Fei's life would be lost from his strong attack.Even if Cao Fei was not killed in the chaotic battle, it is very likely that he would commit suicide after falling to thank the Lord.

She didn't want Cao Fei to die in Yanxing, she wanted to win over this counselor.

To be on the safe side, the siege plan was temporarily canceled. When Wei Tingxu was planning to take a long-term plan, someone suddenly reported that Wei Xian's leading troops had reached Yanxing and were forcibly attacking the city.

As soon as Wei Tingxu heard it, he knew that Wei Xian refused to obey her order and committed suicide without authorization.Wei Tingxu asked Xiaohua and the army to rush to Yanxing for support. When they arrived at Yanxing, Wei Xian was really powerful. He broke through the city gate with only 3000 troops. He didn't kill Cao Fei, but put him under house arrest. Inside the cabin.

Wei Xiandao: "Sister Zi Zhuo thinks I'm a simple-minded man? I've already seen that you want this man as a counselor, so I'll give it to you now!"

Wei Tingxu asked Xiaohua to lead people to investigate inside and outside the city, and after the investigation, he walked into the hut.

Cao Fei was kneeling upright in the room, drinking as if no one was around.

After drinking a full six cups, feeling slightly tipsy, he finally put down the wine bottle.

"I've always wanted to see the real face of my step, but I didn't have the chance. I finally got it this time. I'm much younger than I thought." Cao Fei's voice was like a bell, and she was not an ordinary frail counselor. , the old man is different from his brother and does not conspire with each other, please go back."

Before Wei Tingxu could speak, Wei Xian, who was standing aside, sneered and said, "You old thief who pretends to be a ghost, what are you asking for? How can you speak now? This Yanxing has been brought down by our Wei family, you dog My life is in my hands, if I want you to live, I will live, if I want you to die, there are eighteen ways to the underworld, you can choose!"

Cao Fei looked at Wei Tingxu with cold eyes: "Is this also what Miss Wei means?"

Xiaohua stood beside Wei Tingxu, wearing a tough soft armor, and holding a brand-new heavy hammer in her hand.As long as this Cao Fei dares to make trouble, she will smash his head immediately.

Wei Tingxu did not dismantle Wei Xian's position: "Today, if you stick to the last moment, you have returned your loyal soul to Lord Shang. Lord Cao of Shanghou is dead, and now Duke Cao is my Wei Zizhuo." counselor."

Cao Fei laughed loudly: "Do you want Cao to be a slave of two surnames?"

"Mr. Cao's change of ownership is just to help the real dragon. The people in the world will only praise Mr. Cao for abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and praise Mr. Cao's loyalty and courage. Even if some talkative Tian She Han speaks a few gossips, why should Mr. Cao take it to heart?"

Cao Fei narrowed her eyes and looked at Wei Tingxu: "You really are eloquent. If someone doesn't surrender today, what should you do?"

"Of course I killed him."

Cao Fei sneered: "Zhu Zi is arrogant!"

"Mr. Cao ambushed a thousand killers around the hut. As long as the wine bottle that Mr. Cao never left his hand falls to the ground, the killer will come out from the dark and chop me into pieces. Does Mr. Cao think so?"

Cao Fei stared.

Xiaohua threw a round object beside Cao Fei, which was a human head.

Cao Fei recognized that this person was the leader of his axemen who were ambushing around the hut.

"Mr. Cao's last move has been dismantled by me." Wei Tingxu said word by word, "Don't disappoint me, Mr. Cao. You only have one life. If you choose the wrong direction, there is no turning back."

Cao Fei lowered her smile, and his unrestrained smile changed significantly, turning into a happy smile hidden under the skin and muscles.This change made him seem like another person.

It was his true face, a sinister viper.

"After all, you are too young and arrogant. You should know that there are people outside the sky and people outside the sky. Today, I will teach you a good lesson, I hope you can remember it." Cao Fei wiped his thick black beard, and suddenly there was a panic outside the room. scream, followed by screams again and again.

When Wei Tingxu raised his head, the tiles on the roof were shattered, and dozens of soldiers in batwing suits rushed down from the small room.

The scene outside the house that she couldn't see was even more spectacular. Tens of thousands of "bats" slid down from the air, bringing a rain of arrows.

A pair of blades had already reached Wei Tingxu, Xiao Hua let out a loud slam and flew in the air, shaking all the approaching killers away.

"go!"
