When the Yan army was mobilizing troops in Xiaoguan, Guzang City entered into a state of wartime martial law. Juqu Nancheng's personal soldiers camped outside Guzang City, protecting the capital of Houliang Kingdom in the middle, surrounded by subway barrels, covered Because Lu Guang was not dead, he denounced Lu Zuan as a traitor for usurping the throne. Now that the army is overwhelming the country, they want to take back Guzang. Over time, people's hearts belonged to him, and every day there were courtiers who sneaked out of Guzang City to surrender to him, even Nancheng himself secretly resented in his heart, hating himself for being dragged into a boat of thieves.

Juqu Mengxun was in charge of the military affairs in the city, but when he went to the military camp outside the city to discuss matters with his brother, he was scolded: "I was originally entrusted as a general of the Fuguo, and I lived in Longshan, but because of your eagerness for quick success, I was forced to seek refuge with Lu Zuan and my brother. Therefore, what a reputation it is for the Lord to be an enemy!"

Meng Xun suppressed his anger at first, but he still pretended to be obedient and smiled as before and said: "Who knows that Lu Guang is not dead? The eldest son has an imperial edict, and he is the king of heaven. How can my brother be a traitor? What's more, if this time You have done a great job in escorting, the Eldest Young Master is willing to transfer Tianshui to the Juqu Clan again, and we will occupy the second place in the six counties of Liangzhou, wouldn't it be wonderful~"

Seeing that his cousin was still making excuses and sophistry, Juqunan was so angry that he slapped him across the face, and said in a hateful voice: "You are the one who is causing trouble! What reputation is there for provoking father and son to fight each other?! What's more, if this battle So what if we lose? We will lose our base in Longshan and be forced to follow Lu Zuan into exile!"

Juqu Nancheng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hands are extremely strong. This slap made Juqu Mengxun stagger a few steps, and knocked down the weapon rack beside him. The lieutenants outside the account went in to inquire.

After Meng Xun lost face in public and got up in embarrassment and ordered people to clean up the mess, Fang said coldly: "Then brother should do his best to win this battle! Either Lu Guang will die or you and I will die! Brother don't want to die!" No matter how lucky you are, the eldest son Lu Shao died at your hands, and it has become a fact that you raised troops to protect the eldest son. Even if you want to retreat now, it is too late. Lu Guang will never tolerate you again! Except following Lu Zuan There is no other way to go to the end!"

The two brothers broke up at last, but Meng Xun was not worried that Nan Cheng would turn against him suddenly. After all, everyone including Lu Guang believed that Nan Cheng had taken refuge in Lu Zuan and killed his younger brother Lu Shao—he was under his own design. , there is no way out.

But after all, Nancheng is the head of the Juqu Clan, tens of thousands of Xiongnu Jingqi only obey him, if Nancheng always disagrees with him and restrains him everywhere, it will be troublesome.

He was troubled by this matter in his heart, just as he returned to the palace, he saw Yang's maid cautiously approaching him, saying, "The empress is here to invite you."Juqu Mengxun frowned suddenly, why bother him again!He is now in charge of all the guards in the palace in the city, so he is no longer afraid of people's eyes and ears to report to Lu Zuan, but he has something on his mind and he is impatient to deal with this woman.So he refused coldly: "It's getting late, I'll greet the queen tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, the servant girl refused to give up and refused to leave, Meng Xun had no choice but to go against Yang's wishes at this moment, so he had to turn to the palace where she lived.

Sure enough, Empress Yang had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and when she saw him, she got up and went to meet him.Under the candlelight, Meng Xun smiled charmingly, bowed and saluted, "I've seen your mother."

Empress Yang withdrew his servants, walked up to him sadly and said: "Mengxun, I was so flustered and couldn't sleep all night—" Juqu Mengxun was impatient but still affectionate on his face, he stretched out his arms Empress Yang laughed and said, "Your Majesty misses the last general too much?"

Empress Yang uncharacteristically pushed him away and said panickedly: "I don't think about eating or drinking recently, and I don't get sunflower water, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I have..."

Juqu Mengxun frowned, and said calmly: "The heavenly king has a queen, it is the great joy of the country—"

"This is your bloodline!" Empress Yang raised her eyebrows and interrupted him, "Since Lu Zuan succeeded to the throne of heaven for no reason, he has never been allowed to step into my palace for nothing. How could I be happy?!"

"Your Majesty, be careful." Meng Xun said in his heart, even Lu Zuan's wife felt that Lu Zuan's throne was unknown, let alone others?The gossip inside and outside the palace can be imagined, and the hearts of the people are so floating, it is no wonder that some officials in the court sneak out of the city from time to time to seek refuge with Lu Guang.

The time and place are right and the people are harmonious, Lu Guang's army occupies the second place, and our side is just taking advantage of the place. If the two armies are really at war, Guzang City may not be able to defend...plus the big trouble that the Yang family is now getting into...

Juqu Mengxun managed to appease Empress Yang, and walked in the palace with a cold face, with a lot of thoughts in his mind - he has come to this point, he can't afford to lose, he must win!He stopped and turned around suddenly. He thought of a person who could help him the most at this time.

Yao Song drank the bowl of Chinese herbal tea in one gulp, wiped his mouth lightly, and handed the empty bowl to the maid who was waiting in front of the bed—he has been under house arrest since he fell out with Juqu Mengxun that day, and Lu Zuan is now under house arrest. All relying on the Juqu brothers to guard the country for him and obey him, he is not allowed to go in and out freely, and it is difficult for him to even meet outsiders.Now he has to take the medicine Juqu Mengxun ordered before going to bed every night, and only those who serve or monitor him will resign.

The maid bowed to him and silently put away the bowl, but when she opened the door, her movements froze abruptly, before she could turn her head to look at the person, she was knocked unconscious and quickly collapsed to the ground.A night walker withdrew his hand, took the opportunity to rush in, closed the door with his backhand, and jumped in front of the surprised Yao Song: "Please follow me, my lord, to get out of here!"

Yao Song calmed down—he would call him son, so he probably wasn't from Yao Xing.He covered his mouth and coughed, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "Murong Chong sent you here?"

This person is Wu Lie who sneaked back into the palace in disguise, he nodded hurriedly, and whispered: "The emperor is concerned about the safety of your son, and ordered me to sneak into the palace to rescue you as soon as you escaped!" Relaxed, he fell down on the bed, and let out a long breath of relief silently—he was in a trance day and night, sleeping restless and worrying about Ren Zhen's safety, and now he was finally relieved.But after a while he suddenly shook his head slightly and said, "I can't go."

Wu Lie managed to break through the guards and came here, and he might not be able to last long. Seeing that Yao Song had no intention of leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yao Song's arm: "My lord, don't worry, it's time to The imperial guards in the palace rotate their guards, and brothers are also arranged at each sentry point to respond, and the Huben guards are ordered by the emperor to protect the son's safety to the death!"

As soon as Yao Song was pulled up, he felt dark in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he supported the bedpost, waved Wu Lie away with one hand, and said firmly, "I can't go."

"I'm ordered to come and take away the young master, please don't make things difficult for me!" Wu Lie was so anxious that he almost wanted to knock this person unconscious and take him away directly—everyone worked so hard to enter this dragon pool and tiger den to save people, but he is still unwilling to escape the danger!Yao Song took out a plum blossom gold buckle from his belt, opened a thread-bound book that he often flipped over by the couch, tore off a page, wrapped the gold buckle in it, and stuffed it into Wu Lie's hand: "Give this thing to me." Yu Murong Chong, just say that I am determined to do so, and he will not blame you!"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from a distance outside the door, especially in the dead of night.Yao Song's complexion changed, and he immediately struggled to get up and pushed Wu Lie to the half-open window, and shouted in a low voice: "Juqu Mengxun is here! Withdraw all the people and go to Mingguang Pond. There are the fewest people there. Follow the path by the lake to leave the palace—quick!"

Wu Lie was still talking, but Yao Song said decisively: "I can't leave. If you're one step behind, all of you won't be able to leave!" He said anxiously: "At this very moment, you must not fall into the hands of Juqu Mengxun - hurry up! "

Seeing Wu Lie disappear through the window with his own eyes, Yao Song quickly walked to the desk and poured a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed on the back of his hand—then the porcelain pot fell to the ground and shattered.

Almost at the same time, Meng Xun pushed the door open with both hands, stepped inside, then raised his eyebrows, and looked playfully at the maid lying on the side of the couch, and Yao Song, whose hands were flushed from the heat.

"What's the matter? Yao Xiaohou, since he is still sick, why are you so angry?" Meng Xun squinted his eyes and glanced at the open window.

Yao Song shook off his hands full of water, and said coldly: "This lowly servant girl just overturned the tea bowl and burned my hand. If I teach her a lesson, will General Monson be reluctant?"

Juqu Mengxun probed her carotid artery, and it turned out that she was just knocked unconscious by the hand blade, so he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It's just a servant, if Yao Xiaohou is not happy, he can kill her." Then he felt distressed Looking at the scorched blisters on Yao Song's fair wrist, he sighed, "Young Master is my honored guest, what should I do if I get hurt?"

Yao Song sneered and said: "General Mengxun's way of hospitality is really rare, he ordered people to strictly guard me, making me unable to go in and out freely, forcing me to drink these soups that make my hands and feet feel weak and can't stop?!"

Meng Xun's smile did not change: "Yao Xiaohou's status is precious, and I was protected heavily for safety, so that I would not be hijacked by others—" After a pause, he continued, "As for the medicine—the young master himself I also know that I am seriously ill, but I specially invited the imperial doctor to see it, and it was also said that it was caused by mental strain, these are all the imperial doctor's prescriptions for the case, so as to teach you to be less tiring."

Yao Song reckoned that he was far away, so he pulled his face and shouted, "Juqu Mengxun, are you really not afraid that my elder brother will ask me to blame after he learns the truth?"

Meng Xun took a step forward and frivolously rubbed Yao Song's cheek: "I know you are Yao Xing's heart, but do you think your big brother has the time to care about you now? He can't take care of himself now! What's more, I sent an envoy to promise Over him, if Lu Zuan wins the whole of Liangzhou, he will form an alliance with him and fight against Xiyan together. As an emperor, this is the case, and to achieve great things, close relatives can abandon them."

Yao Song avoided it in disgust, but sat down again with limp feet: "You don't come here all night to talk nonsense with me."

Meng Xun also sat down opposite him, with the same heartless smile from before: "I didn't just want to tell you some good news - my arrow failed to kill Murong Chong, and the latest news report said that it was Emperor Dayan. Your dragon driver has arrived at Xiaoguan, and the imperial driver is about to conquest himself..."

Yao Song raised his face slightly, and stared at him coldly.Juqu Mengxun shrugged his shoulders: "Don't be like this~ I know you hate me for chasing and killing Murong Chong back then, but he is safe and sound now. Besides, I never thought of getting rid of you, such a thoughtful and wonderful person, I can't bear to ——If you have something to do, I'm afraid more than one person will come to trouble me, and I... don't want to mess with him again. As for me, I just want you to stay in Guzang temporarily, please help me~"

Yao Song sneered and said, "I'm a cripple who can't act independently, what can I do to help the general? Even if I help the general for a while, can the general keep me forever?!"

Meng Xun snorted, and suddenly said seriously: "As long as you help me overcome this difficulty, I will send you back to Houqin—but if I am defeated and there are no eggs under the nest, I will definitely pull you as a backup—" I wonder what choice Yao Xiaohou will make?"

Yao Song's eyes flashed, and he raised his eyes to look at him after a while: "Ants are still alive, let alone me waiting for mortals? General Mengxun is wise and powerful, and together with Brother Ling, he held Lu Zuan to the top and controlled the military affairs with one hand, but he still wants me to help very?"

Meng Xun ignored his insinuation, and said directly: "The first thing is internal worries. Empress Yang—"

"Are you happy?" Yao Song interrupted him clearly, "Congratulations, General."

Meng Xun frowned: "What a joy! I still lack a child?! If Lu Zuan finds out, all my hard work so far will be in vain!"

"I said congratulations, not to congratulate you on becoming a new father." Yao Song coughed heavily again, Fang covered his mouth and mocked, "It's just congratulations to the general for having this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become Lu Buwei's second..."

Juqu Mengxun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly regained his senses, and said with a high-five: "Okay! As long as the fetus in Empress Yang's womb is recognized by Lu Zuan, it will be the eldest son, and I will become the biological father of the next king!" Recognition is his kind, and there are countless ways!

"There are also foreign troubles - Lu Guang led the army back to attack Gu Zang, people's hearts are against him, even my brother is still hesitant, the morale of the defenders is low, how can we win?"

Yao Song's complexion was pale, and his mind was also dizzy. Although the medicine Meng Xun gave him could cure his hemoptysis, it contained several herbs such as ephedra, five stone powder, and Datura flower, which paralyzed his limbs. In addition to making people drowsy, it is also prone to addiction.He reluctantly opened his eyes and replied: "Give it up in one go, then decline and exhaust it. If the opponent's morale is like a rainbow, he will adopt the trick of dragging words and send people to pretend to negotiate with him and surrender, saying that he can attack Guzang together from inside and outside. In Liangdu, his officers, men, wives and children are all in the city. He is reluctant to let it all be destroyed by the flames of war, so he must be fooled. Afterwards... find a way to get rid of Lu Guang first - capture the thief first and capture the king... then the army will disperse... At this time, you can come forward to recruit security The rest, get twice the result with half the effort."

Meng Xun listened very seriously at first, but judging from his expression, he knew that the effect of the medicine had come up, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master, for your guidance, I won't disturb you to recuperate and rest."

Yao Song was leaning helplessly on the head of the bed, but at this moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Meng Xun's sleeve, and said word by word: "But the knot between the general and brother Ling cannot be solved in this world. One mountain Two tigers have never been tolerated, the general is a generation of heroes, he should know where to go..."

Meng Xun looked down at him condescendingly, pulled out his sleeves after a while, and said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with you."

Yao Song waited for him to turn around and leave, closing his eyes as if he was exhausted, but in the next moment he gritted his teeth and turned over to sit up, rushed to the window staggeringly, stretched his fingers into his throat and plucked violently, and then with a wow sound, he fell down just now. All the medicine in the stomach was vomited out.After a long while, he slumped down the wall weakly and slowly, a trace of red line remained on his lips, but he couldn't even lift his hand to wipe it off.

This concoction can't be completely vomited, it has been absorbed to some extent, I just hope that it won't become addictive - he has seen countless people who are addicted to Wushi powder, crazy all day long, running and shouting, even if they bare their breasts Painful and hot - if he became that god-hating and ghost-hating look, even he would loathe himself, how could he have the face to be cherished by him? !

Juqu Mengxun...Yao Song turned his head slightly, with a stern expression on his face, like a jade face on Hell - I have planted a fire in your ambition, once it starts a prairie fire, your Juqu clan will be torn apart!

Tuoba Gui prepared for several days and rushed to Tongguan today.Before setting off, he bid farewell to Ren Zhen and offered the Sheng Le Knife worn at his waist with both hands.

Ren Zhen: "..." What's the matter? One and two have to give him things before going out. He doesn't like this feeling very much. Going to war is just to defend and deter the opponent. This is also to train you and promote you—"

"Your Majesty." Tuobagui actually took a step back and knelt down again, "I will understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. I have been serving the emperor and now I am leaving suddenly, and I am reluctant to let go. The emperor gave me a dragon-scale dagger, and I will be grateful. This is the only reward."

Only then did Ren Zhen remember that Tuobagui was ordered to return to Beijing earlier, he was afraid that he would be killed by Murong Yong, so he gave Tuobagui the dragon-scale dagger, the dragon-scale dagger was the master of the phoenix gun, passed from Muronghong to Murongchong , is the symbol of the emperor, which can make Murong Yong jealous.Afterwards... Afterwards, one thing after another happened in the chaos of war, and he forgot to take it back... But in this way, didn't it become an exchange of tokens?

Ren Zhen looked into Tuoba Gui's firm eyes, and couldn't refuse, so he took the Sheng Le knife and said casually, "Give you dragon scales, and your luck will be prosperous."

Tuoba Gui kowtowed again in thanks: "The final general is willing to break his body to pieces for His Majesty!" Then he got up and left resolutely.

Ren Zhen was left holding the scimitar, staring blankly at his back: "Can't you say something auspicious? This naive child."

Ren Zhen didn't know why, but Fu Jian looked on coldly, and he glanced at Ren Zhen, thinking that he was actually a smart fool.In other words, he can treat people he doesn't love as long as he wants, but he never tries to guess their true intentions.

Mu Chong led He Lanjun and the soldiers of the Huben camp to wait outside the gate, Tuobagui walked to the first place, and got on his horse neatly, the bright light armor flashed a sharp edge in the sun, and the big banner behind him was unfurled, hunting and dancing in the wind, There are eight big characters in the letter "Anton General Tuoba Gui".

As soon as Tuobagui pulled the reins, he saw several horsemen galloping towards Xiaoguan post road.He squinted his eyes, saw Wu Lie jumped off his horse, and knelt down in front of him: "See General!"

Wu Lie was originally his confidant in the Huben camp, now he was ordered to return to the camp and bumped into his old boss who was leaving, so naturally he had to come forward to pay his respects.

Tuoba Gui saw that he was dressed as a soldier from Liangzhou and came from the direction of Sanguankou again, so he guessed his mission in a flash of thought, leaned over and asked, "The emperor ordered you to go back to Guzang? Can someone be rescued?" ?”

Wu Lie followed him all the way, knowing that he and the emperor had always been close, so he replied without doubt: "The musician didn't want to wait with me to leave the palace, and he even said 'can't leave'~"

Tuobagui pondered for a moment and then said: "Is there something to convey? ... Or, what?"

"Not a word. I just ordered to bring this thing to the emperor. He said that the emperor knew what he wanted when he saw this—" Wu Lie took out the paper bag intact and showed it.

Tuobagui took it and opened it, and saw that it was a small plum blossom gold buckle, which had lost its luster after repeated groping.He had been with Ren Zhen for more than two years and naturally knew the origin of this thing, but his attention quickly shifted to the page used for the package - the page that seemed to be torn off at random was "Grandson.On one page in Martial Arts Chapter, there is only one sentence in the whole article-"Don't stop returning to your teacher, don't chase after poor bandits".Tuoba Gui contemplated for a long time, Yao Song is as cunning as a fox, he must not do useless tricks, if he didn't intend to, how could he happen to use the page of Sun Tzu's Art of War and attach a token?When attacking Xinping back then, Yao Song also used this method to convey the news. If Ren Zhen saw it, he would believe it.He smiled lightly, and just handed back the gold buckle: "Then you just hand it over to the emperor—although to be honest, the emperor will not blame you." Literacy only regarded it as an outer wrapping paper, and didn't feel anything wrong, took the gold buckle and carefully put it away, then clasped his fists and agreed to leave.

Mu Chong was watching with sincerity but for some reason, he was about to ask in detail, when Tuobagui twitched his lips and said, "Stay a little longer and hand over this page to Murong Yong yourself, and you have to hand over the contents of this book to Murong Yong." The ins and outs are all explained clearly."

Mu Chong nodded in agreement, and Tuoba Gui looked at his back with a blank expression, and suddenly waved his hand, and the army immediately moved out, heading east all the way to Tongguan amidst the dust.

He also has a heart like a bandit, without any hesitation.
