Outside the city of Zhongdu, a mighty army arrived.

From the attire of the soldiers alone, it can be judged that they must have traveled a long distance here, but even though they had been working hard for several days, the men and horses were exhausted, and the team did not appear to be sloppy at all.

There was a small group of people waiting here early outside the city, and when they saw this group from a distance, someone turned their horses and entered the city, running towards the imperial palace.

In Ninghe Hall, Tan Muqiu was writing and drawing on the desk with a pen, and Zhao Qingming stood beside him.

"Zhan Xun is now the deputy commander, but all the generals in the battalion have a deep friendship with him, so even though you are the commander this time, don't disobey his face." Tan Muqiu said.

Zhao Qingming nodded, and Qin Muqiu said again: "Zhan Xun has a careful mind, has the courage to command the overall situation, and is good at surprise attacks. But if there is a tough battle, it is safer to send these two generals under him." Qin Muqiu said in the Underlined the names of two people on the paper, "This is the one who conquered the Southwest with my father back then. Although he was brave and foolish, he has some experience in local warfare." He clicked under another name as he spoke. made a fortune.

"This is already the third time." Zhao Qingming said, "Actually, I wrote it down when you said it the first time."

Hearing this, Tan Muqiu put down his pen and stretched.

Zhao Qingming quietly put his arms around Tan Muqiu from behind, put his chin on the other's shoulder, and said, "I can't bear you. If I can't get away in the southwest and King Ning'an sneaks in, then I'm very pitiful."

Qin Muqiu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, and said: "He is far away in Guzhou, you really worry too much."

Zhao Qingming's complexion couldn't help but darken when he heard the words, and said: "If it is according to me, I will give him the throne this time. You and I will lead troops to the southwest and let him come to Zhongdu to be the emperor. Wouldn't that be better."

"You just think that I, the emperor, haven't had enough of it." Tan Muqiu took the other party's hands around his waist away, turned to face the other party, and said, "I always feel uneasy, unless I confirm that you bring Seeing that the Hongfeng camp has arrived in the southwest, I only hope that nothing will go wrong."

Zhao Qingming raised his hand to caress the other person's forehead, and couldn't help but want to kiss him, but at this moment, he heard a guard coming outside to report.

"They're here." Tan Muqiu looked at Zhao Qingming, a trace of unconcealable excitement flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, what the guard said after coming in was no different from Tan Muqiu's guess.

"Prepare the horse." Tan Muqiu ordered the guards in a hurry, and then stopped him and said, "Send the letter outside the city first." After saying that, he searched for the letter.

"The letter was given to Xuanqi yesterday, and Xuanqi will make arrangements as soon as he settles down there." Zhao Qingming motioned for the guard to retreat, and then said: "Wuyun has returned to Wanli Temple yesterday, and the arrangements will be made over there." Afterwards, Xuan Qi will come back, don't worry."

Tan Muqiu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said, "I was too impatient, and I was at a loss for a while."

Zhao Qingming stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's hand, rubbed his fingers slowly on the opponent's palm, and said, "I know the Red Maple Camp is very important to you, don't worry, I will be more careful when I go to the southwest this time. Will bring it back to you intact."

Tan Muqiu felt warm when he heard the words, and said, "You are more important to me, so I will definitely handle things well this time, so that we won't have any worries in the future."

Zhao Qingming only thought that what the other party was talking about was about the Red Maple Camp, and without thinking too much, he held the other party in his arms, and the two held each other for a moment.

Outside Wanli Temple, Zhan Xun stood tall, followed by two attendants.

All three looked at the end of the road, as if they were waiting for someone.

After a long time, there was gradually the sound of horseshoes, and a moment later a dark brown horse took the lead and came across the dust.The person sitting on the horse was wearing a sky blue robe, but covered his face with a veil, as if he didn't want others to see his face.

Behind one person and one horse, another person and one horse followed closely, and then two people followed closely behind.

When Zhan Xun saw the steed from a distance, his heart beat faster.

It was Hongfeng, even among thousands of troops, he could recognize it at a glance.

"It's him." Zhan Xun couldn't help but said to the two people behind him: "No one can control Hongfeng except him. It's really him."

While speaking, the visitor had already arrived outside the temple. The masked man jumped off his horse and handed the reins to the guards who came from behind. He walked up to Zhan Xun in two steps at a time, stretched out his fist and slapped him on the shoulder.

Zhan Xun, who was still a little hesitant at first, stepped forward and hugged him, almost crying in public. Fortunately, a guard behind him coughed lightly, and he came back to his senses.

"Mu..." Just as Zhan Xun was about to speak, he remembered what the other party had told him in the letter, so he hurriedly stopped talking and looked at him blankly.

"Go ahead." The masked man spoke, but it was Tan Muqiu's voice, followed by Zhao Qingming and two guards.

A group of people entered the temple, two guards were watching from a distance, one of Zhan Xun's guards also stayed outside, and the others entered the room.Wuyun personally poured tea for them, and said: "Benefactor Zhan is a gentle person, the poor monk asked him to wait inside the house, but he chose to wait outside the monastery."

Zhao Qingming glanced at Zhan Xun when he heard the words, only to see that the other party smiled embarrassedly at Tan Muqiu and said nothing.

"Don't bother me, poor monk. You can do what you want." Wu Yun left the room after saying that, and took a thoughtful look at the attendant behind Zhan Xun before going out.

"Have the soldiers settled down?" Tan Muqiu asked.

"Everything has been settled, the temporary camp is outside the city and can be moved at any time," Zhan Xun said.

Tan Muqiu nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't help feeling angry in his heart, wishing he could go to the southwest with them desperately.

"Your face..." Zhan Xun looked at Zhao Qingming behind Tan Muqiu, wanted to ask but dared not.

"It's okay, it's just that I was injured earlier, and now I'm a bit shameful." Tan Muqiu said nonchalantly.

He covered half of his face with a face scarf, leaving only half of the bridge of the nose and eyebrows, because he and Li Yu had a similar appearance, and he deliberately imitated his original voice, so he waited It seems that the person sitting in front of him is undoubtedly Tan Muqiu.

"How could it be so badly injured?" Zhan Xun said regretfully, "Fortunately, his life is safe."

"I can't stay too long, I'll save these words for later." Tan Muqiu said, "This is General Zhao Qingming, who used to be a general of the Habayashi Army. With him to take care of."

When Zhan Xun heard the words, he and Zhao Qingming exchanged salutes and said some polite words.

"This journey must be quite hard, right?" Tan Muqiu said: "The war is really tight, I dare not let you delay, presumably His Majesty will summon you tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow will set off."

Zhan Xun hurriedly said that it was not hard, and said: "The Hongfengying has always been Dayu's elite teacher, and it is the duty of the Hongfengying to serve the country. It is indeed wise for your Majesty to transfer the Hongfengying to the southwest. Lift."

Qin Muqiu nodded, and asked, "Did your lord bring me anything?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Zhan Xun hesitated for a while and said: "No."

Everyone was thoughtful when they heard the words.

Tan Muqiu talked with Zhan Xun for a while, and then said: "General Zhao, I have a few words to say to General Zhan alone, you go out and wait."

Zhao Qingming looked at the person behind Zhan Xun when he heard the words. The other party hesitated for a moment, then got up silently, and the two backed out together.

At this time, only Tan Muqiu and Zhan Xun were left in the room.

"What is your identity as a guard, and why does he keep staring at me?" Tan Muqiu asked puzzled.

Zhan Xun was taken aback when he heard the words, he was a bit embarrassed, and then said: "Your General Zhao is also staring at me all the time."

The two couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.

Qin Muqiu took out the soldier talisman from his pocket and put it on the low table in front of him.Zhan Xun picked it up with both hands, looked at it, put it back, and said: "This is the soldier talisman of the Hongfeng Camp. It was hardly used before. We always recognize people but not talismans, even you... those who have no news at all." For days, the Red Maple Camp has not heard anyone's order."

"That's right." Tan Muqiu nodded and said, "But if I'm not in the camp, you'll have to recognize this soldier talisman."

Zhan Xun was taken aback, and said, "Aren't you going with us in the Southwest War?"

Qin Muqiu nodded, and said: "There is nothing wrong with Zhongdu, I can't leave yet. General Zhao will temporarily take over the post of commander in chief for me. When the matter of Zhongdu is over, if the war is not settled, I will definitely go to stand by your side. Kill the enemy."

"This General Zhao and Your Majesty..." Zhan Xun asked carefully.

"He is someone I can entrust my life to. How you treated me in the past is how you treat him in the future." Tan Muqiu said.

Zhan Xun solemnly arched his hands and said, "Yes."

"There is one more thing, you must keep it secret." Tan Muqiu said: "This time I am not going to fight with the army, don't mention it to others, especially don't let it reach the ears of the prince."

Zhan Xun was a little puzzled when he heard the words, but he still complied, and then asked: "If you don't go out with the army, how can the soldiers not know, and the news will spread soon."

"I will send someone to pretend to be me. As long as you and General Zhao help cover it up, no one will find out in a short time." Tan Muqiu said: "By the time they realize it, you have already arrived in the southwest. It doesn’t matter if you know it or not.”

Zhan Xun nodded when he heard the words.

Tan Muqiu put away the soldier talisman, and said: "I will try my best to convey news to you, and you all know my handwriting." He paused and said: "This time the Red Maple Camp will only win but not lose. I hope you The day of triumph is the day of Dayu's peace."
