I don't want to return

The night was dark, and there was no moonlight on the dark sky, only a little bit of faint starlight.The autumn wind is bitter, and the leaves rustle.

Outside the city of Youzhou, soldiers with guns and swords patrolled back and forth, guarding the city gate so airtight that not even a fly could fly in, let alone people.

In times of war, this is generally the case.But some people don't know the current affairs.

At this time, a group of rebels who had set up camp a few miles to the north of the city were trying their best to get into the city.

They were exhausted and had nowhere to go, with wolves chasing after them and giant tigers blocking their way, if they couldn't find a place to rest and shelter, all of them would die in the wild tonight.

A vague sense of restlessness and anxiety permeated among these people.

Mu Chongyu stared at the soldiers who had followed him all the way, and felt an unspeakable bitterness welling up.

If the gate of Youzhou City does not open tonight... then he will once again push these loyal soldiers into the abyss of despair.

It was like this last time, and it's still like this this time.His struggles may not have changed anything at all.

"Your Majesty, it's dark and dewy outside, please go back to the tent to rest. The general will be on guard outside. As soon as there is news, he will immediately report to His Majesty." Shen Qing, the right general, seemed to be hesitating for a long time in the distance, and finally came over and bowed his head. First advised.

Mu Chongyu shook his head, his voice was soft but firm, and there was an undeniable strength in his usual soft voice: "I want to wait with you."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Qing frowned, and wanted to say something more, when she looked up and saw Mu Chongyu's stoic side face hidden in the firelight, her heart ached, and she fell silent.

He lifted the curtain and walked into the camp, took off the marshal's armor, turned around and turned back, held the thick armor in both hands and put it in front of Mu Chongyu's eyes, respectfully said: "Wearing it may be able to resist the wind and cold, please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty. "

Mu Chongyu took a deep look at Shen Qing, and his thoughts became more complicated.

Ever since he escaped from that disgraceful place and vowed to return to Nanyan, this man has defended his lord several times, and was almost killed by the cold arrows of the enemy army. Now that he is in a predicament, many people feel that following him is hopeless, so they all Quietly became a deserter, only this person stood firmly by his side, even now they were in a dilemma.

He should have discovered such a good general as Shen Qing earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have let him suffer so many years with him for nothing.

Thinking of this, another gloomy look flashed in Mu Chongyu's eyes.With a soft "hmm", he took the armor and put it on silently.

Shen Qing retreated, and now Mu Chongyu was left alone outside the spacious tent.

Mu Chongyu raised his neck slightly, looked at the towering city tower faintly visible in the distance, and narrowed his eyes.

That was his only chance of survival tonight.

It has been three years since Nanyan destroyed the country. Perhaps the confrontation between Nanyan and Beiyu has collapsed. The war has never stopped in the past three years, even Beiyu, which wiped out Nanyan with all its strength three years ago. , and failed to sit in the Quartet and dominate the world.

Just in the Central Plains area, in just three years, more than a dozen forces, large and small, have risen up, each recruiting troops and buying horses, and occupying the mountain as king.Xu Lihui, the commander-in-chief guarding Youzhou, is one of the powerful forces. He does not obey the orders of the Beiyu court. He has a cloud of elite soldiers and strong generals, and he already dominates the political power of one side.

It's ironic to say that Xu Lihui once served the Nanyan court, but he was only a small official. Mu Chongyu only remembered seeing one side from a distance in the court hall. Later, Nanyan was defeated and fell overnight. He still had hundreds of others All the important officials in the court were captured, lined up in a long line, and taken to the territory of Dayu in the north in a mighty manner. It can be said that they have suffered all kinds of humiliation.

But Xu Lihui was not listed here.It can only be said that Xu Lihui's official position was so small that Dayu didn't even take it into his eyes.

But now, after several years of fierce fighting, Xu Lihui, who used to slip through the net, has become a tyrant, but he himself is going to be sent to others, and he shamefully used a strategy that is not considered brilliant.

Beauties.

His spies found out that Xu Lihui, the lord of Youzhou, is a man who loves beauty and enjoys singing and music. After thinking hard, he had no choice but to ask someone to find a few beauties and gorgeous singers and send them to Xu Lihui's mansion, and A letter for help, I only hope that Xu Lihui can open the gate of the city and let them in for the sake of the kindness of the monarch and his ministers, so as to avoid Beiyu's pursuers for the time being.

It's just that this beauty has been sent in since the afternoon, and it was late at night, but there was no reply at all.

A layer of cold sweat gradually broke out in the palms of Mu Chongyu's hands. He closed the armor on his shoulders, only to feel the chill.

The sword wound on the abdomen seemed to be getting worse.Five days ago, they were ambushed by chasing soldiers from Beiyu. Shen Qing and a group of soldiers fought desperately to break out of the encirclement. Own.

It turned out to be a spy who had been following him for a long time, no wonder it was quite difficult for them to escape all the way.Fortunately, the little soldier was subdued and did not hurt his vitals, but the bumps along the way seemed to open the wound a little.A faint stabbing pain spread across the abdomen.

Mu Chongyu clenched his fists.He didn't want to alarm everyone because of such a small matter.Right now, waiting for an answer without success, the generals are just at a time when their minds are shaken, how can they disturb the morale of the army because of his little injury?

Even at this moment, he already felt the blackness in front of his eyes.But he believed that as long as Xu Lihui opened the city gate, he could relax for a while and rest for a while, and the sword wound would naturally not be discovered.

While they were in a stalemate, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, coming in a hurry from far and near.

"Report—" Xiaobing's loud and familiar voice sounded, it was their scouts who had returned!

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at the soldier in unison.

After checking the tents outside, the soldiers ran in like flying, and knelt down in front of Mu Chongyu with a plop: "Report to Your Majesty, General Xu promised to open the gate of the city, and ordered his subordinates to come and reply first. General Xu and his generals immediately followed Come and meet His Majesty!"

"What did you say..." Mu Chongyu couldn't believe it, his fists were shaking slightly.

Xiaobing patiently said that again, and then added a sentence: "General Xu said that he had spotted soldiers from Beiyu in the south of the city earlier, and he thought he was going to attack His Majesty by surprise, so he sent troops to fight with soldiers from Beiyu. It took a while to fight back, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"General Xu has meritorious deeds, how can I blame him?" Mu Chongyu couldn't hide the surprise on his face, he said "good" several times before remembering to help the little soldier up.

In this way, everyone was reassured, and quickly got ready, waiting for Xu Lihui's arrival.

Sure enough, Xu Lihui did not break his promise, and he led a team of personal soldiers to show up in less than half an hour.But he saw that he was not wearing any armor, and a group of personal soldiers behind him also stood with their hands down, their swords out of their sheaths, and they really greeted him sincerely.

Mu Chongyu and all the soldiers couldn't help being overjoyed, and Mr. Li Yuanshan, the lobbyist arranged by the generals earlier, also hurriedly stood up, intending to talk to General Xu about the capital that he can cooperate with the other side, in order to obtain the largest military support.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lihui shook his head, he hesitated to speak a few times, and finally set his sights on Mu Chongyu.

But as soon as his eyes touched Mu Chongyu, he turned his head abruptly, rubbed his hands unnaturally, and straightened the hem of his clothes.

That movement seemed a bit cramped.However, in Mu Chongyu's eyes at this time, it seemed to have a special meaning.

Mu Chongyu was taken aback for a moment, and he and the generals looked at each other, feeling a little bad in their hearts.

He raised his feet and walked forward a few steps, cupped his hands at Xu Lihui, and said with a modest smile: "General Xu, what else is there to hide? Don't worry, General, we will not cause any trouble for General Xu. We just want to hide in the city for the time being." Once we hide, we will leave on our own until tomorrow morning, and we will not embarrass the general."

As a prisoner who escaped from Beiyu, he did not dare to expect the other party to value him more. Even the former emperor, now faced with the pursuit of Beiyu who does not know when he will come again, he has to put down his posture and beg softly .

Even though he knew very well that the person in front of him might not be trustworthy, maybe the other party's behavior was just a cover to lure them into the city, but he had no choice but to let go. Bo.

Xu Lihui's neck stiffened, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, this commander...ah no, I have nothing to hide...It is my honor to be able to come to Youzhou..."

Xu Lihui managed to finish speaking, and finally raised his eyes to glance at Mu Chongyu very quickly, a blush appeared on that dark and rough face.

Fortunately, it is night now, and the lights in the tent are dim, so people can't see it.

"It's just...the minister has an unfeeling request to His Majesty..." Xu Lihui took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to speak out what he had been holding back all afternoon.

Mu Chongyu frowned slightly, and looked at him anxiously and perplexed, his pair of jet-black eyes were like black pearls, covered with a faint shadow, which made people feel itchy.

Xu Lihui stared straight at Mu Chongyu, and said dryly, "Can your Majesty stay in Youzhou for a little longer?"

Before Mu Chongyu could react, he took a big step forward with his feet, stood in front of Mu Chongyu, and suddenly grabbed Mu Chongyu's arm!

"I have admired Your Majesty for a long time, and this time His Majesty is here, please let me take good care of... Serve Your Majesty, and fulfill one of my wishes!"

Mu Chongyu was stunned, the heat coming from his arm through his clothes was so burning that he couldn't refuse it.He blinked, and struggled to utter a word: "...OK."
