hereditary wrong country

The leader of the mob knew that he was going to die, but he was no longer afraid. He tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of bloody sputum. Liu Huanzhi, who was dispatched to the frontier a year ago!

"Ge Laozi... I used to...be shamelessly plotted against by you..." Liu Huanzhi gasped for breath, and there was a "hoho" sound of blood clots in his throat, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Yongyan, " Now...you are still fucking selling...you are defeated...by your kid..."

Yongyan leaned over, firmly pinched his carotid artery with two fingers, "Who did you see yesterday? Tell me!"

Liu Huanzhi twitched slightly, his complexion was bruised and purple, he couldn't help scratching the turf with his fingers, and he opened his mouth wide to make a distorted and mocking expression.

"I... can't be reconciled..."

Liu Huanzhi died.

Yong Yan got up expressionlessly, then wiped off the dirt on the goggles, and got on the horse.

"Stop marching!" Yong Yan said, "Spread out and find someone."

The hussars battalion did not dare to make any difference, they all counted the number of people, walked in a uniform, sonorous and powerful way, and quickly dispersed into the forest to look for people.

The author has something to say: Persevere

☆、Unfortunate encounter

Runzhi was awakened by the violent chest tremor of the snow leopard, and he was as frightened as a bird after a series of meals and nights.

Xuesha Leopard carried Runzhi on his back and confronted a person in the middle of the road. This person was holding half of an iron cable and was holding the end of the cable. The other end seemed to be cut off by a sharp weapon.

Runzhi suddenly sat up, nearly rolling off Xuesha Leopard's back, and frantically looked at the person in front of him.

This person was dressed as a hunter in the mountains, with a thin body, straw rope leggings, and raccoon fur around his waist, but he was born with a jade-like face, a beautiful mole on his forehead, and a crooked smile on his lips.

Seeing that Runzhi was stunned, he said in a frivolous tone, "Why is the little lady so panicked, quickly follow her husband up the mountain, and go to be Mrs. Yazhai—"

Run Zhiqi didn't hit one place, Fang took a nap, full of energy, and shouted, "Who are you! Tell me your name! How dare you belittle... frivolous master!"

This room was full of shocking thunder, my liver trembled after shouting, I don't know the origin of the tiger blocking the way, the iron chain in my hand looks normal, if it is a magical weapon, wouldn't I be killed on the spot.However, the words have already been spoken, so there is no reason to be timid, so he leans on his son and straightens his back.

The man didn't answer, just took a rest and even took a step forward.

The fur on the snow leopard's neck was all blown up, and its hind legs kicked the ground, submerged in the soil for a few inches, ready to dive at any time.

"Tell your little leopard not to be impulsive," the man said with a smile on his brows, "My lady is willing to hurt her husband~"

Runzhi didn't understand what he meant, and weighed it up, "Brother Orion, I'm eager to find someone, little brother, can you get out of the way."

The man also folded his palms together and bowed, "One bow to heaven and earth——"

"You!" Runzhi couldn't laugh or cry, he had never seen such a brazen person, "You are simply..."

"Forget it," Run Zhi's stomach churned, unable to entangle, he waved his hands and said, "Get out of the way, I'm in a hurry to find someone..."

"Young lady, you want to find the army that pierced the mountain?"

Runzhi's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the strange address, "You saw the Fujia Army, and the Tengjia Army led by Brother Yin?! Where are they?"

"Don't worry, lady," said the Orion, "tell your little leopard to be calm and calm, as your husband will naturally know everything and say everything."

"You, don't call me...that!" Runzhi said in embarrassment.

Then he climbed down from the snow leopard's back, patted it on the head and said, "Son, don't bite."

Xuesha Leopard seemed extremely unwilling, his throat was still humming, and Runzhi said again, "How is it today, I usually treat people very friendly. Be obedient, I will take you to find him after I find out where Brother Yan is. "

Snow Sand Leopard whined twice, bent down and lay down at Runzhi's feet, his eyes were still fixed on the blocker, and he would not relax for a moment.

"You can talk now," Run Zhi said, "Have you seen Brother Yan and the others?"

Orion said: "Don't worry, come here again, because my husband is afraid of that beast."

Run Zhi followed his words and took two steps forward, and Orion said again, "Come closer, can I eat you?"

Runzhi's face flushed red, and he felt a kind of anger at being teased, and shouted, "Do you know, don't frame me!"

Orion laughed, his brows became clearer and more upright, the corners of his lips and canine teeth were faintly visible, and he said to Meng Lang, "Hey, little rabbit is in a hurry."

"Who are you looking for in the army, soldier? Centurion? Thousand commander? Lieutenant general...isn't it a general?"

Runzhi: "You just tell me, have you seen them?"

"Not only have I seen it before," Orion stared at Runzhi, as if he was staring at his prey, and said seriously, "I even fought against that young commander as a husband. The handsome man sent by the Qing Dynasty to aid Tibet is nothing more than that." ..."

"A fight?! Why did you fight?! Aren't you Orion?"

"Have I ever admitted that I am a hunter?" The man whispered, "My husband is the number one overlord on the Black Rock Mountain. Even the county magistrate has to call me Grandpa when he sees me! Listen up, my lady, I will protect the mountain for my husband!" Hu Qiwei is also!"

Run Zhi shouted: "You are a bandit!!! You are that bandit last night!" He grabbed his front, "What did you do to Brother Yan?!"

The bandit didn't break free, and said with a light smile, "Killed."

There was a hum in Runzhi's head, and he almost fell on his back.

"Killed?" Runzhi was trembling all over, his face was bleeding, Qi Wei saw that he was so absent-minded, instead he started teasing him even more, he put his hand on Runzhi's waist, bowed his head to kiss.

Unexpectedly, Runzhi dodged in an instant, charged his palm, and slashed with his backhand!

Qi Wei was caught off guard, he was hit in the shoulder, and immediately fell three inches short, terribly numb.The snow leopard roared loudly, bared its fangs, and shot and attacked like a gust of wind!

Qi Wei fled up and down, was bitten through his forearm, and immediately wailed loudly, "Not killed—not killed! Beast! Let go of your grandfather!"

Runzhi's eyes were red, his chest heaved violently, and he said sharply, "Son, let go first."

Snow Leopard stepped back in front of Runzhi, smacked the smell of blood in his mouth, and spewed out a mist as if threatening.

Runzhi: "Say!"

Qi Wei: "Hey... murdering your husband isn't... hey hey! Let me tell you!"

"You look so nervous, little Marshal, if I told you—" Qi Wei tore off a strip of his inner jacket, wrapped it around his arm, clenched his teeth, and roughly bandaged the wound, "You go and chase the army yourself, just go on your way I'm going to leave... for me." She said with a look of sadness on her face, and tears burst into tears in an instant, "This deep mountain and wild forest is often haunted by wild beasts, so I will freeze to death here woo woo woo..."

"Hey you man," Runzhi was so bluffed by him that he lost his temper. He just felt that this man was really difficult to deal with. At this time, he looked pitiful like a child, but he was a bit like Ji Ruchuan. Being bullied hard by myself, she looked like crying.

"Why are you crying? Didn't you brag about being the overlord of the mountains just now? What kind of county magistrate has to call you grandpa when he sees you? Stop crying, Qi Xiaowei!"

"That's all because of my elder brother. My elder brother is Zhenshanhu. My name is Zhenshanhu. It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger. Now what elder brother calls you? Brother Yan was beaten to death with two punches, and the brothers also dispersed. I am Lonely, alone, alone..."

"It's not a very good job for you to be bandits," Runzhi said after confirming that Yongyan was fine, his tone eased, and he kindly advised, "If you depend on the sky to eat, with your head tied to your trouser belt, after today there will be no tomorrow, why not?" Go down the mountain to find a decent job, marry a wife and have children, and do your duty.”

"Otherwise, you go down the mountain, head north, and go to Xijinzhai in the capital to find Mr. Fang Rusheng. I will write a book for you. Find something to do, big or small, which is better than bandits."

Qi Wei sobbed twice, and corrected, "My lady is wrong, it's not a bandit, it's a bandit."

"Don't call me that! My name is Fengshen Yinde!" Runzhi sneered, "There is no gangster like you, it's really embarrassing to your brother!"

"Why are you lassoing me?"

Qi Wei spread his hands, with an innocent expression on his face, "My elder brother told me to set you up, I don't know what grudge he has against you."

Runzhi was not angry, "Your elder brother?"

"He really instigated it," Qi Wei put his four fingers together, "I can swear that if I speak half a lie, I will make my eldest brother die."

"Isn't your elder brother dead?"

"Well, I didn't see him die, so I can't tell."

"You are clearly abandoning your brother, disregarding human relationships, and breaking your trust! How can there be a person like you in the Jianghu, you—" Runzhi said, "You are oily and deceitful, and you are definitely not a kind person!"

Qi Wei laughed and said, "Hey, little brother, there are a lot of bad guys in the Jianghu, brother is called flexible. The world is not easy, if you want to survive, how can you do it if you don't have a few strategies in your chest." Then he shook his head, "I don't want to marry a wife and have children , I have to follow you, I fell in love with you at first sight, I will go wherever you go, I... If you go down the mountain with me, I will not be a bandit, let's find a peach blossom spring, how about living a happy life?"

"Stop!" Runzhi yelled in embarrassment and anger, "You bastard is full of cheap words, you can't believe it, get out!"

Qi Wei smiled and leaned forward again, just about to make a few jokes, the footsteps of the army horses in the distance gradually rose, Qi Wei grabbed Run Zhi, "Quick! Hide!"

"Why do you want to hide?" Runzhi didn't understand, so he was taken to a stagger.

"Fengshen—" Yin Zhuangtu stood at the front of the line and shouted from a distance.

"Brother Yin?!"

Runzhi was both surprised and delighted, regardless of the entanglement with Qi Wei, he ran away and hugged Yin Zhuangtu.

Yin Zhuangtu pressed him into his arms and rubbed him vigorously, his joy was beyond words.

Hearing that it was Runzhi, the soldiers at the back of Yin Zhuangtu's army surrounded him one after another, causing quite a commotion for a while.

Chen Xiao excitedly said, "It's really Fengshen!"

Niu Buping folded his arms together, Hula hugged the two of them together, strangled Yin Zhuangtu until he couldn't breathe.

Yin Jiajun burst into cheers!

Fu Jiajun didn't know why, "Why cheer?"

Immediately someone replied, "We are saved!"

Chen Xiao shouted: "Oh~! I can sleep now!"

The second monk, Zhang Zhang of the Fu family, also yelled stupidly, "Oh! I can sleep now! Really, really?"

"real!"

"Back back!" Yin Zhuangtu said, "Don't mess up the formation!"

Runzhi bit him hard on the shoulder, Yin Zhuangtu grunted in pain, and immediately laughed, "Stinky boy, I've never belonged to a dog!"

"Brother," Runzhi's eyes were red and trembling with excitement, "Is there anything to eat? Where's Brother Yan?"

Yin Zhuangtu signaled the army to rest on the spot, took out a small package wrapped in oiled paper from the saddle bag, stuffed it in for Runzhi, took off the rattan armor, and put it on for Runzhi.

"Brother Yan led the hussars to the front, if he knew you were coming, he would be happier than anyone else."

The rattan armor is woven after being boiled in salt water. It is still soft when dried, but extremely tough. It is invulnerable to weapons and weighs less than one of ten iron armors. Bun—it was a hot sauced beef!

The aroma of the sauced beef made Runzhi almost cry.

"Why is it still hot?"

"The military master taught me to put a pouch in the bag, and mix three parts lime with one part water."

Yin Zhuangtu picked a piece out of it and threw it to Xue Sand Leopard. Xue Sand Leopard immediately shook his head and caught it, rubbing against his trouser legs like a big dog, as familiar as a neighbor's kid.

Qi Wei snorted, "If you have milk, you are a mother."

"Who is this little brother?"

"He is..." Runzhi didn't know how to explain.

Qi Wei laughed like a ruffian, "I'm his concubine ~ give me some beef."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Runzhi yelled frantically, "He's a bandit!"

Yin Zhuangtu said, "The bandits have a mediocre future, why don't you join the army with your elder brother, and eat three meals a day."

Qi Wei Shi Shiran clasped his fists together, "That's exactly what I mean."

Run Zhidao: "Brother! He just abandoned his boss at the most critical moment!"

"The humiliation of an inchworm is for trust, and the sting of a dragon and snake is for shelter." Yin Zhuangtu said seriously, "Everyone has their own way of survival, there is no need to hinder it, Fengshen."

The two hit it off immediately, and Runzhi rolled his eyes from choking on the beef.

☆, meet again

Yuan Rui came late, the two exchanged pleasantries, and the army continued on their way, catching up with Yongyan's team ahead.

Compared with Yin Zhuangtu's clear understanding of Runzhi, Yuan Rui did not fully understand his intention of coming, and even tried to ask for orders halfway through, wanting to bring a team to escort Runzhi back to Beijing.

Run Zhi refused to obey, "If I go back at this time, my father will break my leg!"

"No." Yuan Rui said firmly, "Marching and fighting are not just for fun. There is no distinction between good and evil on the battlefield, only the enemy and the enemy. On the battlefield, it is very difficult for the Holy One to assign him to lead [-] soldiers, and you still expect him to charge forward and protect you at the same time?"

Runzhi: "You don't need to take care of me, I have time, don't I? Let me show you two tricks?"

Qi Wei: "There is so much kung fu, even the gods can't hold it, and they are clever——"

Yuan Rui: "Who are you!"

Qi Wei: "I'm this kid's concubine...uh--"

Yin Zhuangtu: "That's right, with Fengshen's skills, ordinary soldiers can't pass three tricks. Young people should also practice and practice."

Yuan Rui: "The barbarians are strong, they are more than just soldiers, no, you have to go back with me today!"

Runzhi: "No! The young master managed to escape!"

Yuan Rui: "Have you ever thought about your father! You are alone outside, making him worry and sleepless at night, how tormenting and hard work you make him, how will he live if you die, what kind of son are you! "

Run Yi was stunned, and the burning fire in his heart was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water in his head. With his solitary courage, he traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and exchanged his trek and experience for growth and love. I dare not stop and think about my father.

He didn't dare to imagine how lonely He Shen would be without him, and how hopeless He Shen would be. He couldn't see He Shen like that.

Yin Zhuangtu said to Yuan Rui: "Hey, Brother Fu, let me take a step to speak."

Yuan Rui's complexion was complicated, and Yin Zhuangtu hooked his shoulders and dragged him to a distant bush to speak.

Qi Wei pushed Run Zhi and said, "What's the matter? Are you listless?"

Runzhi just shook his head, with a solemn expression, without saying a word.

Qi Wei laughed mischievously, "I'm afraid your father is worried, so save my life, win the battle, and go home early, don't you not worry? You look like a well-educated person, so much Reason can't be bent."

"Yes!" Runzhi said, "After the battle this time, I will listen to my father when I go back, and I won't let him worry about it anymore!"

Yuan and Yin came back one after the other, Yuan Rui's face was livid, as if weighing.

Runzhi handed him a piece of beef flatteringly, Yuan Rui took it, let out a long breath, patted Runzhi on the shoulder, and said, "Follow, I will protect you."

Runzhi looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what Yin Zhuangtu said to him, which could make this peerless stubborn Yuan Rui change his mind. In the shape of a bunny ear.

Dajun burst into laughter, and Runzhi's heart suddenly brightened.

Yuan Rui's face turned greener, and he said sharply, "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh! Military discipline!"

Yin Zhuangtu stuck his finger into his nostril again, and pushed it up into the shape of a pig's nose. Yuan Rui became furious, and immediately swept his legs. .

This is the frontier of Tibet, the mountain road is steep and dangerous, and one must always be on guard against Gurkha stragglers and guerrillas. The army moves very slowly, and it was already early morning of the second day when the two armies met.

Runzhi's throat tightened, and he let out a long cry.

Yongyan's figure paused slightly, his face was extremely shocked, and he immediately turned around——

The two of them looked at each other across the few remaining hussar battalion soldiers and horses. For a moment, they seemed to have crossed the century-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the vast river of history, swept across the Qinhuai River, and shuttled through the wind and sand raised by the ancient tea-horse road. On the snow-covered mountains in the frontier, all the years are condensed in an instant.

They never thought that in the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty a few years later, in the stormy sea, they would also stare at each other across thousands of mountains and rivers.

From the perspective of ordinary soldiers of the Hussars Battalion: They marched day and night for five days, and came to die at the fastest speed. Just this morning, the army suddenly stopped!stop!

The gongs and drums were blaring, firecrackers were blaring, red flags were fluttering, and there were huge crowds.

The marshal ordered that the march be stopped, the whole army set up camp, and rest and rectify!

This was really the most memorable moment in the decades of military service. The cheers of the army were so loud that it was even more powerful than the emperor's presence. Gurkhas must have been terrified to back away after hearing this.

In the main camp:

Yuan Rui unfolded the map, pointed his halberd sword, and said to Yin Zhuangtu, "Three miles ahead, you will enter the Yunnan-Tibet post road, where there are many dangers and obstacles, the bird path is rough, the water and grass are inconvenient, and the horses are difficult to feed. "

"Before I left, I got a letter from Feige. The letter stated that Gurkha had been stationed ten miles outside the city in the spring. The total support from the imperial court is no more than [-] people, it is really outnumbered, and now it has been besieged to Shangyong."

"Shangyongguan has a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The outer ring is suitable for toast, food, fodder, water and grass, but if it is surrounded and trapped, there must be insufficient food and grass, and it will not be able to survive for a long time. It will not last ten days." Yin Zhuangtu pondered. , "From the departure to today, five days have been spent on the road, and one day is rested. It takes one more day to enter the city and negotiate with the defense order. That is to say, it is necessary to defeat Gurkha within three days. Temporarily drive back a mile before the supplies can be sent into the city."

"That's right," Yuan Rui said, "Three Japan is quite compact, the trouble lies in the order to defend the city."

Yin Zhuangtu nodded and asked, "How about the city defense order?"

"Seven years ago when Gurkha united with barbarians on the frontier to invade the border, my father and General He Lin jointly guarded the border and defended against the enemy. He had dealt with Zhao Wei, the city guard. This man was very slippery and very timid. , but do things in a muddy way, muddle through, often levy taxes to show favor to Gurkha, so that the barbarians' ambitions are inflated, and Kashgar's troubles persist every year."

Yin Zhuangtu remained silent for a moment, tapped the tent frame with his fingers, and said, "I will negotiate with someone about this matter."

Yuan Rui nodded, "I'll tell the Marshal."

"Hey." Yin Zhuangtu stopped with a smile, "There's no need to disturb the two of them, you should rest first, success or failure will be decided tomorrow."

Yuan Rui was taken aback for a moment, and then agreed with an unnatural expression, "Forget it, brother, hurry up and rest."

In the marshal's tent:

Yongyan wrapped Runzhi in a tiger skin blanket, and held him tightly in his arms. The two lay quietly and kissed a lengthy kiss in attachment.

Runzhi's face turned red, and he tried his best to reach out from the blanket to hug him, sniffing the breath on his neck, and let out a long breath, "I miss you!"

"How long has it been since I took a shower," Runzhi said, "the smell of sweat is so heavy."

Yong Yan tilted his head back unnaturally, his voice was hoarse with emotion, "Xi, there is a spring at the foot of the mountain."

Runzhi's hands slid down the blanket, his expression narrowed, "The marshal is so... still able to get out of the camp?"

Not long after, a large group of river crabs flew around.

Run Zhi said narrowly, "It's so thick, don't you usually make it?"

Yong Yan was so ashamed, he pressed him into his arms and kissed him desperately, which made his breathing difficult, and he could only drown in the intense passion and desire.

"Stop—" Runzhi said, "Phew... no, my body is so sticky, take a bath... um..."

Yong Yan couldn't help himself, "Run Zhi, Run Zhi, brother Yan misses you—"

Yongyan could hardly control himself, exhaled a scorching breath, and Runzhi was also moved emotionally, stroking back and forth along the scar on the side of his neck with his fingertips, feeling that Yongyan had lost a little weight. I didn't care about my body on the way, and I couldn't help feeling distressed.

The two hadn't been intimate for many days, the ears were warm, and the love words were like whispers. He hugged Yongyan Jianlang's waist tightly, his body ached, but he felt extremely happy and refreshed in his heart, as if nothing in this world could separate them. separate.

After an hour passed, the two gasped and huddled together.

After a while, Yongyan stood up, completely naked, exposing his toned chest and thighs.

Runzhi's eyes shone brightly, even though he was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers, his eyeballs followed Yongyan's movements perfectly. The latter randomly took a cloth towel, wiped off the hot sweat on his back, and carried it over again. body, don't ask Runzhi to stare at him.

Yongyan put on his underpants, shirtless, rolled Runzhi, who was also naked, into a blanket, rolled it into a marching quilt, threw it on his shoulders, and walked out of the tent without anyone else.

With half of Runzhi's head exposed, he was carried away like a concubine in bed, with Yongyan's protruding collarbone resting on his stomach, twisting and turning uncomfortably, a slap on his buttocks, separated by several layers of thick blankets He hummed twice calmly.

"Take it lightly," Runzhi said lazily, "Just now I was hugging and loving me, but now I feel disgusted after enjoying it? It can be said to be like crossing the river and tearing down bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys."

Yongyan's face was red to the base of his neck, Runzhi tried his best to tilt his head, kissed his ear, and said softly, "Kill you live donkey."

This is the most peaceful and relaxing moment in the past few days. No matter when and where, as long as Yong Yan is by his side, it is the safest place in the world, and he can sleep peacefully at any time.

The camp was extremely quiet, and the sound of the wind was blown far away mixed with snoring one after another.

Only a small group of patrol soldiers remained around the camp, and the rest took the time to rest and rectify, preparing for the fierce battle in the next day.

The two soldiers walked around to the back of the camp to have a urinate, the cold wind blinded them, and they saw their marshal walking like flying with a paper on his back, barefoot and barefoot.

Marshal took three steps in parallel and flew away, half of the people in the paper popped up and made faces at them.

The two soldiers were out of their wits, trembling and unable to untie their pants.

A soldier said, "Did you just... see it?"

Another soldier gulped down his saliva and said tremblingly, "Yuan, marshal, was he just... laughing...?!"

A soldier asked, "Are you still peeing?"

Another soldier looked down at his soaked crotch, "No...you don't want to pee..."

☆, Massacre Order

That night, the army packed up and entered the city in the dark.

Yongyan Run's one rider, Yin Zhuangtu's and Yuan Rui's riders each rode side by side at the front of the mighty army, and the snow leopard followed Runzhi's frightened feathers, with its head held high and its chest high, majestic and high-spirited, Like a guardian animal.

After the daytime rectification, the army was already full of energy. Chen Xiao and Qi Wei were chatting in the middle of the conversation, chatting all over the world, and Chen Xiao took the bait in a daze, and was led by the nose by Qi Wei, and finally brought the topic to Runzhi .

"You mean Fengshen?" Chen Xiao was in high spirits, "He is very nice, everyone likes him, Brother Qi, how old are you?"

"Twenty and Four," Qi Wei said, "If you like it, you like it, but I see that his relationship with the marshal is very unusual."

"That's right, the two of them have always been together. Don't look at Prince Jia's face as a boss at ordinary times, as if he is bitter and bitter, but he treats Fengshen with such closeness as his brother. I think it's a kind of friendship and a child's affection."

"Brother?" Qi Wei sneered, "Forgive my poor eyesight, I really didn't see it, but the little deputy general really treats him as a younger brother, he looks like a big brother, and wants to interfere in everything."

Chen Xiao said in a low voice, "Anyway, Brother Qi, don't make Fengshen's idea, and General Yuan Rui is not easy to mess with."

Yin Zhuangtu: "Chen Xiao, don't talk too much, let's explore the way ahead!"

In front of him was the last city before entering Tibet, and the army stopped to watch.The river at the foot is rushing, the suspension bridge hangs high, and the city gate stands toweringly, more than four feet high, with three large characters engraved on the iron plaque: Wuding Pass.

At this time, the beacon fire was lit, and the long smoke pierced the moon. Under the clear light, it seemed that there was frost all over the place, which was quite majestic and majestic.

Chen Xiao got the order, took the passing token and entered the pass with the light armored army defending the city.

Yongyan held the rein with one hand, and stopped Runzhi with the other, the two cuddled together and whispered in a low voice.

"Are you tired?"

Run Zhidao: "I'm not sleepy, I'm very energetic now, there's going to be a war, there's going to be a war!"

Yin Zhuangtu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? You're so excited?"

"It's the first time I've seen people fight." Runzhi's eyes lit up like little stars in the night sky. "Will there be magic soldiers to help and real dragons to appear?"

"No," Yuan Rui said surongly, "You read too many scripts."

Runzhi: "Oh yes! I have three more... No, I can't give them to you now. Master told me not to open them until the most critical moment."

Yin Zhuangtu smiled without saying a word, Yongyan rubbed Runzhi's cheek, Runzhi then turned his head, covered it with the hood on the cloak, and they kissed.

Yuan Rui raised his forehead and said, "Which magic stick have you listened to nonsense, and even worshiped the master, does your father know?"

Runzhi: "..."

While speaking, Chen Xiao trotted back to the team, got off Yongyan's horse, and said with a complicated expression, "Report to the Marshal, the city guard order claims that all people will be closed at night, and they are afraid of disturbing the people and causing property damage, so they refuse to let them go."

Yongyan frowned, and Yuan Rui shouted: "Life is more important than property?! The war is imminent, and at this time, we still have to worry about not disturbing the people! I think Zhao Wei must have colluded with Gurkha in secret, intending to collude with the enemy and treason!" He clasped his fists together, Pleading for orders to Yongyan, "The last general begs for orders, enter the city in one fell swoop, and annihilate foreign enemies and traitors!"

Yongyan didn't answer, just looked at Yin Zhuang's picture, before long, Yongyan said coldly, "If Zhao Wei is collaborating with the enemy and treason, soldiers are everywhere in the forest outside the city, why do you think we have soldiers coming to the city?"

"Be safe and don't be impatient," Yin Zhuangtu said, "Marshal's words are true. Zhao Wei may have the intention of collaborating with the enemy, but he still dares not commit treason. It can last for a day, He Lin will not die for a day, and Zhao Wei will not dare to surrender for a day."

Yuan Rui's face immediately became hot when he heard this, and he felt ashamed of the reckless decision just now.

Yongyan said, "The army can wait, but the trapped soldiers can't wait, send someone into the city to negotiate, and make sure Zhao Wei put down the suspension bridge." Yin Zhuangtu raised his eyebrows when he said Guan Chao, the latter immediately understood, pretending to think for a moment and said, "Brother has a negotiator in mind."

Yin Zhuangtu raised his voice to Qi Wei who was hiding behind Chen Xiao, "Brother Qi, it's time for you to show yourself—"

Qi Wei rolled his eyes resignedly, "Yeah, Grandpa knew he couldn't beat you veterans."

Runzhi: "I'll go with him, I haven't seen the city defense order yet."

Yongyan: "You go, brother Yan will go too."

Yuan Rui: "The commander-in-chief is here in person, and the city guard must go out of the city to welcome him. It is against the rules to go in person at this time."

Yin Zhuangtu: "Young people, be more knowledgeable..."

Yuan Rui: "How can that be done? Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, it's time to stand up. Besides, the status of the commander..."

After a stick of incense:

The defense of the city made Zhao Wei fearful and fearful. In the palace, the fifteenth prince Yongyan and Fengshen Yinde, the son of the powerful minister Heshen, took the lead.

Zhao Wei was serving tea, with a smile on his old face, rubbing his hands together and said, "The laboring prince moves your steps, and the officials are really terrified, terrified."

Yong Yan didn't answer, and Yuan Rui sternly said: "If you don't come, I'm afraid Mr. Zhao won't open the city gate to let him go, and fifty thousand troops will be stationed outside the city."

"Young General Fu is serious." Zhao Wei still smiled at Cen Cen, clasped his fists together, and said politely, "How would you dare to be an official, but although the little old man lives in a bitter cold border and his rank is not high, he still deeply feels the grace of the official. Those who act cautiously, take people's safety as the foundation." After bowing to the end, "I have neglected, I hope the marshal and generals will understand—"

"The safety of the people in the city is fundamental. Isn't it life to kill the besieged soldiers on the front line?!" Yuan Rui stood up angrily, "If the reinforcements arrive one day late, their chances of survival will be one less. If Shangyong is defeated, soldiers will come to the city in a short time, and when the city is destroyed, the people will have nothing to live for! What kind of parent and official you are, you are clearly colluding with the barbarians, betraying the country and seeking glory!"

Zhao Wei didn't change his face, "Major General Fu is serious, this is a wronged official, my Zhao family has been stationed in the frontier for generations, although the officials are small, they are also loyal and good. After all, General Fu is young and energetic, and has just lost his father. He doesn't know how to choose and accept the principles of being an official. After all, foreign barbarians are also human, and they also know how to deal with the world. Big, why not do it?"

"Listen to Mr. Zhao's meaning—" Yin Zhuangtu leaned on the back of the grand master's chair with folded arms, and said, "Is it possible to protect the safety of 20 people in Wuding City without General He Lin and his [-] soldiers?"

Zhao Wei smiled with an old wrinkle on his face, "This man is well versed in the way of being an official, and the little old man admires him very much."

Yuan Ruicang drew out his long sword with a clang, and scolded, "Since this is the case, it is clear that the agreement has been reached, and you still say that you have not colluded with the enemy!!!"

Yongyan flung out a fruit core with his fingertips, knocked down the sword with a ding, the blade buzzed, Yuan Rui didn't understand what it meant, and glared angrily.

Runzhi gestured for peace of mind.

Qi Wei spoke at this moment, and said leisurely like a literati, "Master Zhao has studied the advancement and retreat of being an official. I don't know if he has heard a story in "A Dream in the Pine Window"."

It was only then that Zhao Wei noticed that there was still such a person standing in the hall, his face was no better than that of a master, so he was nothing to be afraid of, so he saluted in a friendly manner, "I will listen carefully."

"Wang Tingxiang, the governor of the capital, once had a bearer in the mansion. He paid great attention to his appearance on weekdays. He was obsessed with cleanliness. One day when he went to the city and encountered rain, it happened that the bearer was wearing new shoes. At the beginning, he was very careful and chose the place to go. , only looking for a clean road, and then made a wrong step and fell into the mud, so I no longer cherish it. Wang Tingxiang said that the way of being an official is also the same. If you make a mistake, you will do everything. " Although Qi Wei's tone was shallow, his words were convincing and deceptive, Zhao Wei's face was slightly moved, and fine sweat oozes from the wrinkles on his forehead.

Qi Wei said again, "The difficulty of being careful at the beginning is even more difficult than ending well. There are many people whose ancestors are clean and upright but whose descendants have lost them. The ghosts, who thought they would let go of the small to protect the big, but in the end they are using the fire to make chestnuts out of the fire, and the gain outweighs the loss..."

"This..." Zhao Wei was sweating like rain, and raised his sleeves tremblingly to wipe away the sweat.

"It's easy to start a business, but it's hard to keep it. Just imagine that when Shangyong is broken, the last barrier in Yunnan and Tibet falls, the enemy army in Gurkha raises troops to cross the tea horse, and all 32 counties after Wuding pass are on the verge of falling." Yin Zhuangtu sat on the table , bent his foot, and added, "At that time, people will be swordsmen, and Mr. Zhao still expects the foreign barbarians to abide by the agreement and never commit any crimes? - Mr. Zhao has been loyal and good for generations, so don't let the foundation of the ancestors be dusted."

Zhao Wei hesitated for a while, and finally let go, "He Lin has been trapped for many days. Once the city...is broken, Gurkha can retreat. The king of Yi sent envoys to negotiate peace the day before yesterday, and promised not to harm the people in the city."

"It's just one city. The Qing Dynasty is vast, and there is no difference between one more city and one less city..."

At this point, Yong Yan slapped the table with a palm, and there was a crackling sound, and the hall fell silent.

"There are not many cities in one city, but every plant and tree in the city belongs to the land of the Qing Dynasty, and the dispute over the land will never give up!" Yongyan's voice was loud and clear, and it was heard by everyone present. Zhao Wei was shocked. Shocked, he knelt down with a bang.

Yongyan looked down at him from a high position, and continued, "In order to protect the safety of the people, you sacrificed the lives of [-] officers and soldiers. If you give up a city today, you will cut off a province tomorrow. When the enemy army slaughters the city, the foundation laid by your ancestors will be destroyed. Destroyed in the hands of people like you who keep saying they are for the country and the people!"

Zhao Wei trembled, kowtowed again and again, stepped forward on his knees to take the customs clearance talisman, personally supervised the lowering of the suspension bridge, and led Yongyan and others to pass Wuding Pass.

The [-] troops crossed the suspension bridge and entered the city, and the sky was already slightly pale.

Runzhi and Yongyan got on the horse, and Runzhi said in a low voice, "Brother Yan, you were so handsome just now!" Turning his head, he said, "Qi Xiaowei, your story is good, where did you read it?"

Qi Wei said: "Dream of Song Chuang. An Official, do you read it? Do you want to be an official?"

"Show me, the road is boring."

Qi Wei then took out half a volume of broken books from his boots, threw it in the air, Yong Yan raised his hand to catch it, and stuffed it directly into the side of the armor.

Runzhi: "..."

Yuan Rui caught up from behind and asked loudly, "Aren't I handsome?!"

Yin Zhuangtu commented, "I don't have enough courage, but I have more than enough straightforwardness. Although I have experience, I still need to practice. Come, follow the elder brother, the elder brother will teach you how to be an official—"

Everyone burst into laughter, tense before the battle
