I'm not Murong Chong

In the autumn of the second year of Tianxing in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuobagui personally marched out of the fortress, assembled an army of [-] in Shengle, and set off for Chaodai County.

Dai County, which is the junction of Rouran, Gaoche, and Wei State, is the most severely affected area on the Mobei Prairie after the Xianbei moved south these years. There is no calculation of looting, which is sure that the Northern Wei Dynasty was eager to use troops to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains and had no time to look north. Occupying the best soldiers and strong horses, they even attacked Shengle, the old capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although it was desperately recaptured the next day, the palace was also partially destroyed. It was burned, and Tuobagui, Taizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was so angry that he decided to go to the imperial conquest.

Soldiers and horses crossed the Great Wall of the ancient Zhao State, that is, to the north of Saibei, the scenery is completely different from that of the Central Plains.

The desolate and vast grasslands can feel the bone-chilling chill before winter comes.

Ren Zhen lay stretched out on the grass, and as soon as he let out a breath, a little hoarfrost condensed on the tips of the lynx fur on his shoulders.With his hands on the pillow, he looked up at the full moon in the middle of the sky - the bright moon in Mobei seems to be bigger and brighter than the moon in the Central Plains - and heavier.

A white horse next to him was not tied up, but it was peacefully chewing grass with its head down, and from time to time, it poked its head over to rub its owner.Ren Zhen was a little tickled by his snort and wanted to laugh, so he stretched out his hand to touch its smooth and smooth mane - the horse is a good horse, the emperor personally picked it from the imperial horse prison, and it travels eight hundred a day, galloping like lightning.However, Ren Zhen unconsciously thought of another steed with ocher red body and four hooves on the snow. He ran with a flying mane and chased the wind for thousands of miles. He rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing where the afterimage in his mind came from Could it be his former mount?But never heard of it.

Ren Zhen didn't come up with any results, so he closed his eyes and gave up, and quickly fell into a light sleep—he had been marching day and night for dozens of days, and he was extremely tired, too raw and stubborn, lest he be caught. People can see that his physical quality is not as good as that of a general in the army, so he never showed any discomfort before people. In fact, he has just recovered from a serious injury, and he can't stand the bumps for a long time. When he gets busy, he often forgets to take the decoction he brought from Pingcheng. , naturally more mentally poor and often troubled by headaches.

He gritted his teeth and remained silent because according to Tuobagui's strategy, they had to rush to Gaoque, Bianyi, before the cavalry of high chariots went south - that was the necessary pass for Beihai to enter Daijun. The enemy is outside the country, but unlike fighting in the Central Plains, grassland warfare has always been full of variables. Large-scale cavalry movements come and go like the wind, and it is difficult to accurately predict. High cars meet on a narrow road, fighting to the death, so no one dares to take it lightly.So until today's nightfall, when it was less than a hundred miles away from the border town of Gaoque, Tuobagui ordered the three armies to rest in place so that he could sneak out of the barracks to breathe.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt itching in my earlobe.Ren Zhen woke up, but he didn't open his eyes, but suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the other's wrist to prevent him from messing around again: "Your Majesty, don't make trouble." After a pause, he turned his head and pointed the back of his head at the harassment "Let me sleep a little longer~"

Tuobagui laughed silently. He just loved Ren Zhen's tone of doting, reprimanding and helplessness. He let Ren Zhen hold his hand, leaned down on purpose, and leaned against his ear. Said: "That can't be done~"

"The night wind in the desert grassland can make people stiff, why don't you sleep in the barracks?" Seeing that Ren Zhen still ignored him, Tuobagui intensified, "Could it be that...you deliberately lured me here to a place where no one is around?"

Ren Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud, and finally couldn't bear the disturbance, pushed him away and turned over, stared at him unbearably and said: "I won't even give me a moment of peace. Since it's too cold, why should your majesty chase after him? "

Tuoba Gui was already worried that he would catch cold if he slept in the open air, so he felt relieved when he saw that he was awake, looked at his eyes and raised the corners of his lips and said: "Hu Feng is cold to the bone, and the moon shines on the heart."

Ren Zhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned his eyes a little unnaturally: "It was all taught by Cui Hong and the others, and the emperor was full of poems and songs when he made a fuss."

When he changed the subject, Tuobagui was naturally a little disappointed, but he knew that Ren Zhen had understood his voice and was instinctively avoiding it—at least it was no longer a flat rejection.

Ren Zhen saw that Tuoba Gui had let go of the rein, and the two horses, black and white, were grazing on the spot, grinding their necks together from time to time, while he sat down beside him, showing no intention of leaving. Then he bent his elbow and gave him a note: "It's not like you will be blown stiff, why don't you go back?"

Tuobagui made up his mind to bully him to the end: "That's you sleeping with your arms open on the floor, and now we're sitting and chatting side by side, why do you feel cold?"

Ren Zhen couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty doesn't think it's enough to issue orders and reprimand to the generals in the army?"

Tuobagui laughed and said: "I had to bite the bullet and have to do it. How can it be compared to having a deep love with elder brother and talking about everything?"

That's enough.Ren Zhen couldn't laugh or cry: "You used to be so glib? Why didn't I discipline you strictly?"

Tuobagui recalled the past, he was once an iceberg for ten thousand years, his interior was boiling like fire, but his face was still calm, and he would rather keep his words and things in his heart and let them spread in secret - at that time Surrounded by men who are better than him and greater than him one after another: Fu Jian, Yao Song, Murong Yong, he can only grit his teeth and chase after him desperately, until now that the times are changing, he can see the sun and be himself. .

"I only do this in front of my elder brother." Tuobagui said in a hoarse voice, "In front of those Hu Han ministers, every word I say has to be carefully thought out, lest those people find a flaw, just want to If you want to talk glibly, no one will dare to listen or believe it."

Ren Zhen's heart suddenly softened when he heard this. Under the superficial calm, the great government of the country will always be dark and turbulent. He is called a lonely man, struggling, and has never been cold at a high place—he doesn't know why. Empathy: "You can speak freely in front of me without any scruples - I and you are lips and teeth, and I will never make it difficult for you." Ren Zhen's original intention was to say that there is no conflict of interest with Tuobagui, and teach him to be more at ease, But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that it was too much, as if he had made some promise to the other party, so he hurriedly kept silent.

Tuobagui pretended not to know when he clicked, and the two sat side by side on the meadow, and began to talk about everything, from the scenery outside the Great Wall to the internal situation to the people in the army, they chatted until The moon is in the middle of the sky.

Even Tuobagui's robust body felt the chill of the cold night in Saibei. He stretched, took off his heavy sable waistcoat, and put it on Ren Zhen's shoulder casually.

Ren Zhen noticed it immediately, and glanced at him: "In your heart, am I so weak?"

Tuoba Gui touched his nose and was about to speak to explain, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, breaking the silence of the void from far to near, a soldier of the Wei Army got off the saddle, rushed to Tuoba Gui, and hurriedly said: "Report——Gao Che turned south and attacked the northwest pass. Yanmen Pass is in a hurry!"

Yanmen Pass is the northwest frontier pass of the Great Wei Dynasty. Once breached, the cavalry with chariots can penetrate deep into the hinterland of Wei State.

This incident was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shaking the ground, and Tuobagui's mind was blank for a moment. In the next moment, he couldn't care about anything else, jumped on the horse quickly, pulled the rein suddenly, and shouted: "Return to the camp immediately, call All generals in the army with a salary of more than a thousand stones will be included in the account and hold a military meeting before the imperial court!"

Tuobagui in the commander's tent looked around the crowd gloomyly: "Before my army reached Gaoque, the cavalry of Gaocha suddenly bypassed the entire Shuofang County and attacked Yanmen Pass. Can the troops remaining in Jinzhong effectively block all of them?"

No one dared to talk rashly.

"Say!" Tuoba Gui yelled with a cold face—it's no wonder that he is burning in the dark at the moment. In order to expand and fight for hegemony more effectively, the Northern Wei Dynasty gathered heavy troops on all borders, but in the hinterland of the country, it was only in the third and fifth important towns. With the troops stationed near Gyeonggi, with the strong combat power of the high chariot cavalry, it is very likely that they will really drive straight in. Even if they have no territorial requirements, the disaster along the way will be unimaginable.

Che Lang General Xi Jin bit his bullet and said: "Gao Che's southward invasion has always been to plunder the herdsmen's cattle and sheep, and they came to the dynasty. Why is this time completely different from the previous marching route?!" General Hu Lang and Ba Yi Puzzled, he said, "Yes, Yanmen Pass is already in the Central Plains. There are no water, grass, cattle, sheep, or herdsmen. What are the Gaoche people trying to do? Do they really want to occupy the city?"

These words actually expressed the thoughts of everyone present. Tuobagui mobilized the army and took the initiative to attack. How could Gaoche not predict the prophet? He bypassed the Great Wall of Shuozhou and the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and suddenly turned to attack the relatively weak Yanmen. ?On a deeper level, who will disclose Wei Jun's military actions?

"Wei Wang Tuobayi has [-] soldiers from the North and South Battalions in his hands, and he can rush to help Yanmen."

"No, once King Wei is gone, the capital will be empty, so it's better to let General He Lanjun of Nanzhong go."

Tuobagui stared at the sand table in front of him for a long time, and suddenly punched the table, stopping everyone's speculation and discussion, he stood up heavily, and issued the first order: "Immediately order Pingcheng and Jinyang to reinforce Yanmen! The eldest grandson is fat to go—" Yanmen area is the territory of the eldest grandson family, in order to preserve the huge interests accumulated by the family since he took over the Central Plains, he will definitely be willing to invest in his own private soldiers.

"Send the order, our army will turn around immediately, rush to Yanmen, and pinch the tall chariot!"

These words stirred up thousands of waves like a single stone-the Northern Expedition Army is now approaching Gaoque, far away from Yanmen, and when the Wei army arrives across the entire Shuofang County, Gao Che has either escaped or broke through Yanmen. How can we make it in time?Even if you can catch up, it is too passive.

But everyone knows that the emperor is mad now-who would be reconciled to mobilizing teachers but returning in vain?As soon as the order was issued, everyone hurriedly resigned and made preparations, and the barracks was in a hurry all night long, and everyone turned their backs on their backs.

Ren Zhen was the only one left in the tent. He stepped forward and pressed Tuobagui's shoulder. Tuobagui leaned his head on his left hand, frowned and murmured: "Brother..."

"It's not that simple. Gao Chejun's sudden change of course is because... there are traitors in Pingcheng... and even - there are spies' eyeliner among the accompanying soldiers." Tuobagui frowned and whispered, " The transfer orders to and from Pingcheng take a few days to return - the reinforcements are too late, and the Yanmen can't be defended."

He trembled slightly, and said again: "Things must first rot and then worms grow, but it has not been five years since my country was established in Great Wei, and some people inside wanted to split the country and put me to death!"

Tuobagui's rare show of weakness made Ren Zhen feel soft. He didn't know how the emperor of Wei, no matter what he looked like in front of him, could definitely be regarded as working hard to govern, public affairs and selfishness.But also because of his tough wrists and ruthless blood, among the courtiers, he dared not dare, but there were not a few who were secretly dissatisfied, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen in the country just after the army of the Xiang army left the fortress.

"You are right. Now is not the time to find out who leaked the news and communicated with foreign enemies." Ren Zhen's voice was low and slow, but every word miraculously condensed Tuoba Gui's mind, "If the reinforcements in the pass are not enough, then Relying on the army here to go south, the main force will fight! The whole army selects [-] elite cavalry, one with two cavalry, and the horses will not rest, and all the luggage will be abandoned. March day and night, and arrive at Yanmen Pass within five days—as long as the soldiers are fast, We can also defeat Gaoche!"

"We..." A trace of panic flashed in Tuobagui's eyes, and he looked at him firmly, "Will Big Brother always stand by my side?"

Ren Zhen slapped him, pretending to be angry and said: "Naturally! You're suspicious of other people, don't you think even I will betray you?!" He licked his lips, thought for a moment and said, "But since you are suspicious of this army The inside may not be clean, so you don’t need to convey the truth to the whole army when you send the resolution to Heisei—soldiers are deceitful, and they can win by surprise, and we will use false news to put them together!”

Tuobagui listened silently, while holding Ren Zhen's left hand tightly in his hand, a layer of wet sweat broke out in his palm - there was one thing he didn't explain to Ren Zhen.Gaoche originated from Beidi, and it can bypass the entire Shuofang County and attack Yanmen Pass directly. However, the Great Wall Pass did not light a beacon to warn them. ——And Shangjun, since Xiyan swallowed Yao Qin, has been under the territory of Yan State.

This matter—could it be related to Murong Yong?

He didn't want to say it, didn't dare to say it, he could only suffocate in his heart, wishing that all the people and things related to Ren Zhen's past would disappear into the world-although Chen had been on the border for the past two years, he had always ignored Xiyan's innocence. It is for this reason that Ken took the initiative to fight with him.

"The emperor wants to lead the army back to Yanmen?" Chao Ru covered his mouth and coughed for a while before he said weakly, "If the news from the army is true, then this is a big detour and was led by the nose by the enemy. , It is a taboo for military strategists to go on an expedition with exhausted troops."

As soon as He Lanna got the news, he brought Chao Ru over for a consultation—it was beyond his expectation that the incident was so big. To be honest, he didn't have the intention of treason, so he couldn't help complaining to him: "I knew it earlier." The emperor is stubborn and refuses to stop the army, so he won't use this trick! I wanted to preserve my strength, but I didn't expect it to be counterproductive. Even if the army arrived at Yanmen, they would be exhausted. If they were really defeated by Gao Che, It’s not the people of my Helan tribe that lost!” He thought for a while, and then said: “I heard that the general who was sent by Pingcheng to assist Yanmen was not He Lanjun, the highest-ranking military officer—could it be that he...has already started a war against the Helan family? Suspicion? In case the matter is to be liquidated and thoroughly investigated in the future..."

Seeing He Lanna's appearance of being afraid of wolves and tigers, Chao Ru sighed in his heart: "Don't worry, my lord. If the emperor dares to lead an army to pursue him, it will not be a moment of bravery regardless of the consequences of the war-I can do it." Knowing the art of war, the emperor has experienced hundreds of battles and won hundreds of victories. Therefore, there must be another mystery in this battle, so that the Helan army will not be wiped out."

He Lanna was overjoyed and surprised: "If the emperor returns victorious, he will definitely investigate this matter when he comes back. It is very likely that this matter will be used to divide our eighth part of Xianbei into power - but if we lose, my family will lose all of it." Go in!" He stood up, turned his back, and paced back and forth: "In the capital city, I don't know how the battle is going to be? Hurry up and kill me!"

Chao Ru didn't panic: "Your Commander thinks that the only one in Pingcheng who can't sleep because of the uncertain situation of the battle is the Commander?"

He Lanna stopped in her tracks: "Who else?"

Chao Ru didn't answer directly, but said: "Since I entered the palace, I have been buying the palace people in many ways to spy on the news, and I just received the news today - Wei Wang Tuobayi just entered the palace to pay a visit to Mrs. Liu."

He Lanna pondered his implication - Tuoba Yi has always been partial to the emperor's eldest son, Tuoba Si, and it was really tricky for him to visit the concubine in the palace during the emperor's expedition - plus this time he was ordered to lead troops to Yanmen It's really a coincidence that the eldest grandson's family has a secret friendship with him and they are relatives by marriage.Immediately sneered: "What does he want to do? Surrender to Liu's mother and son? The timing is too early!"

Chao Ru made it clear: "It's not too early. The emperor left Beijing, and the king of Wei took charge of the government. If something happened, he could logically elect Tuoba heir to the throne. He is only a five-year-old child, and Mrs. Liu has no relatives." The mother clan can rely on him, and he can hold great power as the regent, and even Xianbei has always had a tradition of brothers and sisters, so it is not impossible for him to replace it one day!"

He Lanna was frightened and turned pale at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was quite reasonable, and said hesitantly: "King Wei is so bold? If things fail, the emperor will not care about the brotherhood!"

"The emperor's personal conquest, the king of Wei sitting in the center, raising food and grass, and taking care of all logistical support, is orderly." Chao Ru took a big breath before continuing, "but the emperor suddenly changed course and completely overturned the previous military plan. As for chasing the high carts, you can only abandon all your luggage and don’t bring food and grass in order to catch up to Yanmen as soon as possible. It is said that there can be several urgent orders sent back to Pingcheng a day-who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes after this hustle and bustle? ? As long as King Wei makes some small moves in the transportation of grain and grass, and cuts off the supplies of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the army will be defeated before the battle. At that time, Changsun Fei, who is on the front line, will only need to stand by for a while, and the rescue will not be so timely, sir. Think about the consequences?"

Gao Che's strong enemy has not retreated, and the Wei army first fell into a chaotic battle. In the chaos of war, who can guarantee that there will be no dissidents in the army, and the emperor will be safe and sound?

"They're plotting rebellion!" He Lanna was unconsciously drawn into his thoughts by Chao Ru, and stared, "Eldest grandson Fei, he dares to obey the king of Wei? The emperor is a mighty general, and he is always safe when he is in trouble. I don't think he will." As they wish."

"The emperor is mean and ruthless. Although he reuses King Wei, he has always prevented him from becoming a big man. In the war between Yan and Wei, Changsun Fei was humiliated by the emperor's public flogging, and he may not have no grudges in his heart. What's more, the emperor has always wanted to Sinicize and limit the power of Xianbei tyrants. There are not a few people who support Tuobayi." Chao Ru's eyes seemed to be closed but not closed, as if he was extremely tired, "Under the peaceful situation, Tuobayi's elder Sun Fei really didn't dare, but now he has no idea. If If they are still hesitating, Lord Jun might as well give him a secret push—the curtain has been drawn, and someone can’t wait to appear on the stage, let’s wait and see. Regardless of the outcome of this matter, whoever wins and who loses is doomed to mess up This pool of water. The emperor has a strict nature. If he can return to his teacher, he will definitely investigate the case thoroughly. Tuobayi and his party are doomed, and another big obstacle has been removed for the second prince's future affairs. No one will be involved in the little tricks we did earlier. Prosecute; if the emperor does not come back - a Tuoba Yi who is not willing to let others rush for quick success, is it easier to deal with than Tuoba Gui who is strict and resolute in the city?"

Chao Ru stood up unsteadily, raised his hands and pressed his chest to salute He Lanna: "In this way, Lord Jun can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and stand invincible."

Cui Hao stood up in his clothes, and opened the door amidst the rapid knock on the door, a small yellow door flashed in with a lamp, and whispered a few words, Cui Hao's face changed: "Wei Wang leaked the night Visit Mrs. Liu?"

Raising his hand to repel the little servant who delivered the news for him, Cui Hao frowned, his brows couldn't hide the panic - after Tuobayi personally sent his eldest grandson Fei Dajun out of the city today, he faintly felt bad, and used his secretary Lang and As a servant of the palace gate, he can be on duty in the court. He secretly read all the documents handled by Tuobayi. At first glance, everything was fine, but Cui Hao came back and wrote it silently. I noticed something was wrong - when there was a war, the emperor was used to directing the whole situation personally, so the military orders sent back from Gaoque were counted every day due to the emergency of Yanmen, but Tuobayi changed the order intentionally or unintentionally, and some were suspended. If there is a call in advance, it is very likely to cause confusion or even a fault in order.As a result, at night, Tuoba Yi unexpectedly went into the palace to meet Mrs. Liu - how could this not make him have other associations?

He originally wanted to disregard the palace ban and go to discuss with his father immediately before leaving the palace, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Now is a very important moment, every move in the court is eye-catching, it's better not to startle the snake.He sat back on the chair again, brewed a cup of cold tea for himself with trembling hands, and he regained some calmness after drinking ice water: the Han civil official group and Tuobagui are close to each other, so naturally they don't want Tuobagui who represents Xianbei's interests Ba Yi is in charge—after all, the current situation is uncertain, and everything is still dark and turbulent.The more it is at this time, the less you can make mistakes and give others a handle.

However, what worries him even more is that since Tuoba Gui decided to go north, everything happened by coincidence, as if there is a pair of invisible hands pushing all these developments—who is it?Can the power of one person bring the entire Tuoba Wei Kingdom into a crisis of disintegration?

"Moti's troops haven't reached Liangcheng yet?" Tuobagui was furious. "His garrison is only a hundred miles away. If he obeys orders, how can he not arrive so far? Without the food and grass he escorted to call my soldiers The horses are drinking the northwest wind and going to fight?!" The sleepless and overloaded march made him extremely irritable, and finally crossed Shuofang and the Great Wall three days later, Yanmen was far away, and they entered the frontier Liangcheng nearby to repair , ready to fight a fierce battle.Unexpectedly, the army of Xianbei Mobu who should have rushed to support him disappeared without a trace.

Tuobagui overturned the imperial case with a sword, and the veins on his forehead twitched angrily. He was about to take out a few Xiaoyao pills to calm himself down, but when he caught sight of Ren Zhen, he still pulled his hand out.But it didn't last long before the scouts sent to spy on the situation turned back halfway: "Report! Yanmen is broken! The Gaoche army has entered the pass!"

Everyone was startled, they rushed to the city tower to have a look, and they saw that not far from the south, flames were raging into the sky, it was the Yanmen Pass that could not withstand the high carts and iron hooves, and it had already fallen.

"Sure enough, Changsun Fei's reinforcements will not arrive in time..." Tuoba Gui gritted his teeth in a gloomy manner—at this critical moment, he completely calmed down, no longer panicked, and ordered with a sinking face, "Dhu Luguang broke Yanmen, and must be eager to loot and burn. They will not leave for at least a day and a night. Well, then leave Yanmen to him! Pass the order and go to the homes of the common people overnight to forcibly recruit All the food and grass to eat, go out of the city to find all the food in the city! We must ensure the supply of military food, and we will chase Gaoche tomorrow!"

All the generals answered yes with a bang, and each took their orders to leave, while Ren Zhen frowned—this was no different from a robbery.Under the subtle influence of Cui Hong and Zhang Yan, Tuoba Gui is usually a gentle and elegant gentleman, but when he is in a hurry, he will definitely show a wolfish and gangster spirit that cannot be eliminated in his bones.

Tuoba Gui stared at the sand table with a livid face, and suddenly called out "Brother."

There was no one around, so Ren Zhen bent down, put his left hand on Tuobagui's shoulder, and gave a light hum.

Feeling his silent comfort from this action, Tuoba Gui slowly raised his head: "Brother, I'm fine." All these years, life and death have not defeated him, and this time, there will be no exception!

"On the way, I thought, it's not okay to be led by the nose like this, and we have to turn passive into active." Tuobagui's words were steady and forceful, making sure that nothing was heard, "I want to divide the troops."

Ren Zhen was slightly surprised: Still divide the troops?At the beginning of the fortress, the [-] troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty were more than Gao Che, and their momentum was like a rainbow, so everyone thought they would win; they were caught off guard by Gao Che, and when they came from Gao Que, they cut down half of their troops to keep their speed; In Liangcheng, the number of troops will be much smaller than that of Gaoche. Once the main force has a decisive battle, it will not be easy to win.

"There is not enough food and grass, even if it is collected, it can only be used for a while - too many people will only be a burden." Tuobagui said, "What if Hu Luguang sees my menacing approach, retreats and refuses to defend, and even ignites the flames of war into the customs? It will win the hearts of some people even more. But I only bring five thousand soldiers and horses, put on the banner of the emperor, and go there with great fanfare, and I will definitely be able to lure them out of the pass for field battles."

This is using oneself as bait.Knowing that there must be more to come, Ren Zhen listened quietly to his continuation: "There is a crouching tiger creek in the northwest of Liangcheng, which is hidden among the mountains. During the dry season in autumn and winter, people and horses can cross."

Ren Zhen understood: "Set up heavy troops here to ambush Hu Luguang?" After a pause, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Let me go. Tuobagui, let me go to Crouching Tiger Cave!"

Of course, Tuobagui knew that Ren Zhen was eager to make a contribution in this battle and prove himself-and compared to other generals who had various entanglements with various Xianbei tyrants in the DPRK, Ren Zhen was at least safe.But after Crouching Tiger Stream and over a mountain, he can return to the boundary of Xiyan - emotionally, he dare not let him go, and he is afraid that it will be too late to regret if something happens.

"Tuobagui!" Ren Zhen was afraid that he would not let go, so he urged again, "You don't believe me!?"

"No!" Tuobagui held his left hand firmly with his backhand, "I believe you, of course I will believe you."

His tone was firm, but there was a lingering sense of apprehension in his eyes—the uncertainty about the future of the fall of Yanmen could not make him show such an expression.Ren Zhen was inexplicably shocked, and Tuoba Gui held his hand and said, "I've been so busy these days that I forgot to ask you, did you take the decoction for headache prepared by Cui Shilang on time?"

Ren Zhen didn't expect that he would still worry about this at this moment. He only thought that he was concerned about whether his body could withstand the high-intensity combat rush, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes. Don't worry, I can hold it."

"Okay." Tuobagui's hand increased his strength bit by bit: "You said... we will win this battle together."

Ren Zhen raised the corners of his lips: "You also said that the people of Quanping City will welcome your triumphant return."

These few words were like a blare on the battlefield, arousing Tuoba Gui's painstakingly suppressed blood, he stood up suddenly, and suddenly hugged the person in front of him amidst the clanging of his armor.

For a moment, the sky was spinning, his arms were like iron, and he didn't say a word, but his heart was like a drum beating in his thick chest.

Across the wall is the sound of soldiers shouting orders in disorder, which is in stark contrast to the wordless silence between each other.Ren Zhen was startled, his face was hot, and he shook his hands into fists, but hesitated for a moment before pushing him away, lowering his head and saying in a low voice: "I'll go down and get ready." After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn around: "This time Go to danger, be more careful."

"Crouching Tiger, see you there or leave." Tuoba Gui's gaze was like a torch, and he nodded slowly, no one would know how big a bet he had placed with himself.
