Oriole Line

Passed over: "Are you going back to Wuchang tomorrow?"

Pu Chen turned his face and saw Wen Tao's head was outside the quilt, with a pair of eyes staring at him.The civet cat was also awakened, snorted, and rubbed against Wen Tao, and Wen Tao stretched out his hand under the quilt to caress the cat.

Pu Chen complained with a smile: "You civet cat doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Every day the doves occupy the magpie's nest and don't let me sleep peacefully."

Wen Tao quickly hugged the civet cat to his chest and said, "If you don't treat it well, I will take it back to Guangling."

When Guangling was mentioned, Pu Chen felt a burst of unreasonable suffocation again. He turned over, turned his back to Wen Tao and said, "Are you going back to Guangling?"

"Well, I have written to Qi Dai. He was deeply affected by the Qi clan incident this time. I want to go back and see him as soon as possible." Wen Tao answered seriously.

Well, what he said was right, Qi Dai lost his brother and father overnight.He was not implicated because he did not become an official and was well-known among Wujun scholars, but the Guangling Qi family he relied on and relied on has since ceased to exist.

Pu Chen gave a soft "um" and said after a long time: "You don't need to take the civet cat away, I will bring it back to Wuchang so that it will not suffer with you in Guangling Academy."

Wen Tao pushed the civet cat towards Pu Chen, and Pu Chen heard Wen Tao say to the civet cat: "You can go to Wuchang with Da Sima, and follow him to eat and drink spicy food in Wuchang." Pu Chen felt a furry behind him. The thing tickled him a bit, he grabbed it from behind and brought the civet cat in front of him.The civet cat's eyes were big and round, and he always thought it was cute when he saw it in the past, but at this moment, there was a stone in his heart, which made him a little out of breath.

"When are you going back to Guangling?" Pu Chen rubbed the cat for a long time before finally speaking.

"Since you are going back to Wuchang tomorrow, then I will go back to Guangling tomorrow too."

Pu Chen said "hmm" again, but Wen Tao couldn't see his expression.Pu Chen said again: "In the future, what are your plans?"

Wen Tao sighed: "I don't know. Let's go back to the academy first. Coming out this time is like a dream. Pu Yang is dead, Qi Chen is also dead, and the two most powerful officials in Nanjing are dead. But the court, It's still the court."

"You came out to kill my father, next time you come out, shouldn't you kill me?" Pu Chen put on a teasing tone again.

Wen Tao said in an extremely serious tone, "I won't kill you."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Pu Chen turned over and met Wen Tao's eyes, "Really?"

Wen Tao nodded, his big innocent eyes were exactly the same as the civet cat in Pu Chen's arms.He is the best at acting, even playing the role of his personal bodyguard on the cusp of his heart, he can play the role vividly, pretending to be fake, he will doubt himself until Pu Chen, let alone now?If he really cared about him at all, how could he go back to Guangling without nostalgia?He smiled self-deprecatingly and closed his eyes.

Wen Tao saw that Pu Chen closed his eyes, and felt a burst of disappointment in his heart.According to the agreement between him and Pu Chen, he helped Pu Chen find the murderer who assassinated Pu Yang, and helped him successfully inherit the Pu family's military power, so he can return to Guangling freely.However, for more than a month, he has been trying to find an opportunity to chat with Pu Chen about the Nanjing government. Just like their many discussions before, he still has a lot of doubts about Pu Yang's assassination and Cai Bo.But Pu Chen seemed to be a different person, although he still came back every night, he never talked with him about government affairs.

Sure enough, he was just an outsider.Wen Tao thought bitterly, even though Pu Chen had praised his talent, he never really regarded him as a talent who could take on important responsibilities.That's right, he was born in a poor family, so what right does he have to hope for?Wen Tao also slowly closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the second day, at the gate of Jiankang City, Wen Tao and Pu Chen each rode a horse, but this time, they did not go in the same direction as usual, Guangling to the south and Wuchang to the west.The two didn't speak all the way, and they didn't look at each other when they needed to part.

On the contrary, Tang Yu chattered all the way, constantly inviting Wen Tao to visit Wuchang in the future, but Wen Tao just smiled and didn't say anything.When we got to the intersection, Wen Tao said solemnly, "Then, don't pass here."

Feeling Wen Tao's gaze, Pu Chen dared to take a look at Wen Tao out of the corner of his eye, said "I will see you soon", then turned and ran towards the official road to Wuchang.

"Young master, slow down, wait for me..." Tang Yu chased after him...

At this moment, on the city tower, Emperor Zhou Yan was witnessing all this, until he saw Pu Chen leaving with his [-] troops, he felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

Ye Chi on the side said: "Thanks to His Majesty's years of planning, the event will be decided." Ye Chi was not wearing military uniform at this time, and his pair of triangular eyes revealed a fierceness that was rarely seen at ordinary times.

"Has the woman been dealt with?" Zhou Yan asked.

Ye Chi said: "Go back to Your Majesty, it's been dealt with."

"Fortunately, you are capable. You were able to find the blood of Puyang's beloved wife Jiang Ji, and sent our people to put her under house arrest. Only then can you leverage Cai Bo."

Ye Chi said: "She married someone before she married Pu Yang, so it's not surprising that she left her blood. That Uncle Cai is Jiang Ji's old servant. Only by blackmailing her with Jiang Ji's blood can he betray Pu and be used by us."

Zhou Yan nodded approvingly, looked at the clear blue sky above his head, and sighed: "Thanks to your cleverness that day, the late emperor summoned Puyang Tuogu, determined to make Zhou Ya the crown prince, and I had no choice but to put all my eggs in one basket."

"Your Majesty, who has the talents of heaven and earth, provoked the dispute between the Pu family and the Qi family with the help of Cai Bo, and used Pu Chen's [-] Wuchang army to quell the chaos in Chaoyang Palace. He is truly an unprecedented wise king."

Zhou Yan stared at an egret in the clear sky and said: "My mother's queen comes from a famous family in Jingchao, how can he be compared with the Guangling Qi family? The first emperor failed my mother's queen and favored Qi noble concubine and Zhou Ya. I had to pretend to be an idiot." Silly, keep the Qi clan out of the way, and when the time is right, one blow will kill you!" His eyes were stern.After a long time, he took out a kit from his sleeve, which was exactly the hexagram given to him by Shang Yuanhua Gong on Yuedan that day. Dangerous, many dangers, natural dangers, earth dangers.Dangerous Yang has lost his way, and the abyss is unpredictable.Big bad.

He pointed to Ye Chi and said: "When Yen Huagong gave me a hexagram, it means that there are many obstacles, natural dangers, and earth dangers, which are really dangerous. But I don't believe in fate, what is fate? I was trampled under by the Qi family, so I will take back what belongs to me and my mother at all costs!" After saying that, he tore up the hexagram in his hand and threw it off the tower.Those confetti fell down one after another, like countless unjust souls who died in the power struggle, without a sound.

"The late emperor was ignorant, but your majesty tried his best to turn the tide and turn the Nanjing government back to its peak. This is a miracle that has never been seen in ancient and modern times. It will definitely clear the court and create a prosperous world again." Ye Chi said.

"Humph." Zhou Yan snorted softly, "The court is clear now, but Pu Chen's 10,000+ Wuchang Army can't be used by me for a day, and I won't be able to sleep peacefully for a day..." He looked at the far away Army, gloom came to his eyes again.

The Battle of Beiyan, Volume [-]

26, 26.

Wuchang is undoubtedly the most important military fortress in Nanjing. It borders the Yangtze River in the west and Yizhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou in the north. These four states are all close to Beiyan. Four states to start.Therefore, although the Pu family has 15 soldiers, it needs to allocate most of the soldiers and horses to garrison the four states to prevent the Northern Yan from attacking.On that day, Pu Yang was suddenly assassinated in Jiankang, and the [-] Wuchang troops taken away by Pu Chen had almost evacuated the garrison in Wuchang City. .Today, Pu Chen, the leader of the army, came back victorious, and the [-] Wuchang army was almost unscathed.After receiving the letter, Mr. Wei finally let go of his hanging heart. When Puchen's return date approached, he waited every day in the spacious Wuchang City Tower for the return of the army.

The terrain here is open, unlike the mountains around Jiankang.The weather in early spring, the spring water is rippling, the Xiangjiang River and the Yangtze River are like two jade belts outside Wuchang City, but the plain is still gray and bleak.In the distance, a rising yellow sand appeared on the horizon, and the yellow sand rose higher and higher, accompanied by the sound of the horseshoes of the army.Mr. Wei looked far and wide, and finally saw the "Pu" flag in the yellow sand, fluttering in the wind.In the past, this banner represented Puyang's army, but now, the banner is still the same banner, but the commander in charge of the army has become Pu Chen.

The army in the distance gradually became clear, until Pu Chen's black and green horse appeared at the gate of the city with great vigor, and Mr. Wei looked at the young man on the horse with great emotion.It's just been a few months, but Puchen seems to be a different person with a magnanimity that he didn't have before. That is the maturity that can only be extracted from Jiankang's cobweb-like conspiracy and situation.

That night, Mr. Wei prepared a dust-cleaning banquet, because it was still the funeral in Puyang, there was no wine, no music and dance.The sergeants under the tent were all in high spirits.A few months ago, they lost their coach Pu Yang suddenly, and they were worried about Pu's shaky future. Unexpectedly, the young master was so upbeat, not only personally found out the villain who killed Pu Yang, but also successfully attacked Pu Yang He became the youngest Grand Sima in the history of the Jing Dynasty.Sure enough, God bless Pu Shi, they firmly believe that the young master and Pu Shi will definitely do something bigger in the future.

In the past, Pu Chen liked to hang out with the sergeants the most. If he encountered such a banquet, he would have to compete with the sergeants in martial arts, riding and shooting, and if he came out on top, he would go to Pu Yang to ask for rewards.But this time, the sergeants found that their young master seemed to have changed his temperament, with a sense of calmness and distance in his gestures, as if he lost his previous youthful spirit overnight.
