Zuo Wenhui leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help gasping: "This is Lin Shangshu's... head?"

The lord cut his eyes and said with a sneer: "Isn't it? He is going to rebel and kill the king?"

Zuo Wenhui thought for a moment, then replied cautiously: "Probably not, my brother speculates that he is just venting his anger."

The lord murmured: "It's just to vent your anger, how dare you cut off the head of a third-rank minister directly! But Gu has issued repeated orders not to leak the news to him, how did he know about it? Is it you? You often tell him in private Write a letter, don't think that you don't know!"

Zuo Wenhui said: "I don't dare, the letters in the past are just family letters. Besides, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, he will know sooner or later." The king got up and continued to circle around, and said viciously: "Well, even if he knows So what? That's just a general, and Gu is his own cousin! This murderous bastard, he...he...how could he behave like this to his own family?" He suddenly turned around and grabbed Zuo Wen Hui Hui's shoulders shook vigorously: "Now Yunjing is being approached step by step by several armies. Seeing that catastrophe is imminent, but the remaining Mingxiang army does not obey the command and resists passively. Should they be the lord of the country alone? If things go on like this, the enemy army will drive straight in just around the corner! Wen Hui, Xiaoran used to listen to you the most, so no matter what you do... try to get him back!"

Seeing his panic-stricken appearance, Zuo Wenhui couldn't say that he deserved it, retribution!" While using his internal strength to stand firm as a rock, he explained: "Your Majesty, my brother can't guarantee that he will listen to me, You can send a letter there to try."

The king hurriedly said: "Okay, you send the letter to him, and you must explain it clearly to him. Gu was really fooled, and didn't intend to harm Wen Jiaxiu. If you want to send your most powerful bodyguard there, you must send it to him as soon as possible." In hand. In addition, you also write letters to your little uncle, and you also write letters to Susu, so that they can help persuade them. And Xie Jue, I remember that Xie Jue secretly sent a letter to the queen a while ago, saying that he liked it A girl from a foreign race is afraid that her father will not agree, and she wants the queen to help her with the matter. You tell Xie Jue, as long as you can persuade Marquis Yongjiang to return to Yunjing, his marriage will be wrapped up in Gu, and he will definitely get it. Fulfill your wish!"

Mingran in Tianlan Holy Palace read the letter sent by Zuo Wenhui emotionlessly, and after sending the guards of Pingnanhou's Mansion to rest, he climbed to the top of Jade Bird Peak alone.

The wind whistling at the top of the peak, the pine waves bursting, the white clouds lingering in the mist, and the picturesque mountains and rivers as far as the eye can see, flocks of birds are flying.Mingran was alone in ecstasy for a long time, until the twilight of the twilight was exhausted, and she didn't want to turn back.

At this time, Zhong Xu dragged a foot that was accidentally sprained while climbing the mountain, limped and found it: "Xiao Ran, why did you hide here? If it weren't for the guards to guide the way, I wouldn't I can't find you!"

Ming Ran leaned over to look at his feet, supported Zhong Xu to sit on a big rock in the lee, and put his shoes on his knees after he had injured his feet, and asked while checking, "What do you want me for? "

Zhong Xu said: "Didn't you go back to Yunjing a while ago, why didn't you hear this matter again recently?" He looked at Ming Ran's slightly pale face, and reached out to touch his cheek: "Little Ran, you don't look very good these days, and you don't talk to us much, but what's the problem?"

Mingran lowered her eyes and said nothing, just massaged and kneaded his injured foot slowly.

Zhong Xu said: "I received a letter from your eldest cousin in the Pingnan Hou Mansion today, he said that Yunjing is in a difficult situation now, and the king and he are looking forward to your return wholeheartedly. If the king was contemptuous in the past I hope you can see that for the sake of your own family, don't bother with him."

Mingran murmured: "My family..." He suddenly chuckled, "Uncle, do you think he ever treats me as his own family?"

Zhong Xu: "Why... not?"

Mingran: "Then you list one or two."

After thinking about it, Zhong Xu couldn't help being dumbfounded. After a while, he said: "It's a blood relationship after all, so don't argue with him."

Mingran suddenly became angry when he heard the words: "All of you will say that, why don't I argue with him? It's fine for him to bully me, but he killed Wen Jiaxiu, so I don't care about him?!" He was angry With a heavy hand in his hand, Zhong Xu screamed in pain, and almost fell off the boulder, but was quickly picked up by Ming Ran and held by his side.

He attaches great importance to Wen Jiaxiu, which is obvious to all Ming Xiangjun, even that vixen who is used to crawling on the bed to make things happen is sometimes hard to beat.Although Zhong Xu didn't hear what was going on outside the window and only wanted to sing a big show, but he knew it by ear and eyes. He was shocked by the bad news and his feet hurt unbearably. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said: "I think General Wen He is a very good person, why did the country want to kill him?"

Mingran said: "He is a general. No matter how good he is in the place of a fatuous and ruthless king, it can't compare to this fatal flaw. A while ago, the lord of the country kept it from me. I sent the letter to me, and I gave him the head of Lin Shangshu, and I guess he still wants to hide it until he tricks me back to Yunjing." He persisted for a long time, and now he unloaded it in front of his little uncle. After all the defense, he felt exhausted and lonely, so he took out Zuo Wenhui's letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhong Xu: "Big cousin also sent me a letter, brother-in-law, you can read it yourself."

In this letter, Zuo Wenhui explained the cause and effect of the incident.At the end of the previous year, Yunjing sent annual tribute to Cangpei Kingdom according to the contract signed between the two countries, but was sent back to Yunjing by the newly enthroned Cangpei Emperor, saying that the tribute was shoddy and in short supply. The officials responsible for delivering the tribute were also extremely disrespectful to the new emperor's arrogant attitude.Lord Zhu Luan had no choice but to change a group of people. To show his solemnity, one of them was His Royal Highness Prince Yin and Anxiu's son-in-law. Unexpectedly, they were held hostage in Pingjing by the Emperor of Cangpei Kingdom, and they never let them go. They come back.

Although the two were detained, they were treated with courtesy by Jin Duanyang on weekdays, and they could also communicate with Yunjing quietly.One day after the defeat of Cangpei Kingdom in the Ningjiang Region, Jin Duanyang invited His Royal Highness Yin Wang to have a drink, and then Yin Wang quietly sent back a letter to the king.

The letter said that Wen Jiaxiu was going to rebel, that Jin Duanyang uttered the truth after drinking, kept saying that he liked Wen Jiaxiu's talent, and sent a lot of money to bribe him, not to mention, even helped him set up a house in Pingjing.To show her sincerity, Wen Jiaxiu first sent her own portrait and a letter.The portrait is hung on the wall of the imperial study, and the letter is hidden in the Duobaoge drawer of the imperial study.Jin Duanyang showed off to King Yin through his drunkenness, and then scolded Lord Zhu Luan, saying that he was going to die soon and still put on airs and refused to give in. Waiting for Wu Fu's consciousness is not as good.

On Yunjing's side, it just so happened that Wen Jiaxiu had contradicted the king for the sneak attack on Shouchun in Huainan.The ruler of the country thought he was not pleasing to the eye, and became even more suspicious when he saw King Yin's letter. This is clearly the rhythm of leading troops to join the enemy army, and he said that it is not a sneak attack!So he found a reason to summon Wen Jiaxiu into the palace, and forcibly gave him a glass of poisoned wine to settle the matter.

When Wen Jiaxiu's wife heard the bad news, she immediately hanged herself as a martyr. The only daughter left behind, Wen Jingyan, was taken away by Wen Renyu who heard the news. At the same time, she also took away the Tiger Talisman Arrow of the Mingxiang Army in Yunjing, etc. Important tokens, I don't know where to hide.The remaining two Marquises of Duyu refused to be taken over by the new generals of the six armies sent by the lord, and stood in a stalemate without moving.Xu Shi, the lord of the country, suddenly came to his senses and didn't continue to embarrass them any more. He just ordered to block the news, and then he focused on deceiving Mingran to go back.

Mingran said: "General Wen will not rebel, this is an obvious tactic to alienate people, the method is so straightforward and simple, yet someone will fall for it, how stupid it is to do it! I even suspect that King Yin is the one who is really cheated. The person Jin Duanyang bought, cooperated with him in this play."

Zhong Xu looked at his words and murmured timidly: "Xiaoran, actually, if I think about it carefully, I might also become suspicious if I encounter this matter. The king is about as stupid as I am. After all, my nephew follows my uncle..."

Ming Ran gave him a hard look, but said nothing.

Zhong Xu was silent for a moment, and Mingran felt that he had frightened him, so he put his arms around his shoulders and said slowly: "I may have been a heartless person in the past, but I was squeezed by him in every possible way and dumped most of my property. Revitalizing the Mingxiang Army, I also felt very distressed, and it will be fine after a while. At the beginning of last year, he cut off my army rations because I refused to go back to Yunjing. I barely resented the rations, so I didn’t resent him very much. After all, money is something outside of me, so don’t take it too seriously. But this time, he broke my wings, broke my arms, and hurt my heart. What should I do? If he wasn’t me Cousin, I will immediately take the soldiers and kill them back, but now..."

He leaned his head on Zhong Xu's shoulder and sighed heavily: "I've never been so... at a loss, I didn't even dare to set up a mourning hall for General Wen to honor him, because I don't know how to explain this to the subordinate soldiers. Uncle, what do you think I should do?"

Zhong Xu didn't know what to do, so he stroked the hair on Mingran's forehead twice, and after a long silence, he asked tentatively: "Then shall we go back to Yunjing?"

Mingran said: "I'm thinking about it. I have already asked Ah Yu to look for the daughters of Wen Renyu and General Wen. If I can pick them up smoothly, I won't go back. If I still can't find them, I will go find them myself. General Wen’s orphan must be brought out.”

Zhong Xu hesitated: "Then if Yunjing is really in danger, you don't care about it? The ancestral temple and Sheji... don't care about it?"

Mingran sneered: "Zongmiao Sheji takes my surname? He is not benevolent first, so I am unrighteous. I figured it out after you mentioned it like this, and I will build a mourning hall tomorrow." He turned his head and stared at Zhong Xu: "Uncle Do you want to go back to Yunjing? You don’t want to accompany me? During the three years I brought you to Donghai, did I treat you badly? Except that I didn’t find a place for you to sing, what is the difference between Yunjing and Yunjing? It’s you You only recognize the king as a nephew in your heart, but you don't want to recognize me?"

His words were so aggressive that Zhong Xu was so choked that he couldn't bear it, and suddenly he yelled at him: "I said you didn't treat me well? It's just that Yunjing is my hometown after all, and you won't let me go back, you unfilial child, Treat your uncle like this!"

He was so angry that his body trembled slightly, and he beat Mingran's shoulders hard a few times. Mingran hurriedly hugged him and comforted him: "Don't, don't, don't worry, my hands hurt, I'm really doing it for you, uncle. The former Yunjing Dance Pavilion song Taiwan is rich and prosperous, so it is indeed worthy of my uncle. But now... it may not be suitable for you anymore, you listen to me right. It is getting late, come down with me, do your feet still hurt? Come, I will carry you on my back .”

The next morning, Xie Jue asked to see Ming Ran.Knowing that he had also received a letter from Yunjing, Mingran handed him a sacrificial oration without waiting for Xie Jue to speak: "A few months ago, General Wen was vilified as a traitor, and he was given to death by the king in Yunjing with poisoned wine. I wrote the sacrificial oration last night, let’s see how it goes. If there is no doubt, a mourning hall will be set up today, and all the soldiers of the Mingxiang Army will be buried for three days to pay homage to General Wen.”
