Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Tonight, the moonlight is as bright as mercury, casting a glimmer of light on the snow, and even without lighting a torch, you can vaguely see the outlines of the road conditions and the surrounding scenery.

King Yu cooperated with Su Yan to slow down the horse speed, breathing the cool air, and enjoying the tranquility and unrestrained sense of freedom brought by "the starry sky, the plain and the wild".

The flow of time seemed to slow down on this vast plain, and it also affected the judgment of the distance. Su Yan couldn't help but ask, "How far have we traveled, and how long will it take to get there?"

King Yu replied, "We'll be there in two quarters of an hour. Are you cold?"

In the frontier fields in November, dripping water turns into ice, and it would be a lie to say that it is not cold. No matter how thick the fur is, the night wind will sneak in through every hole.Su Yan was already afraid of the cold, but now his limbs were so cold that he could hardly feel the existence of his toes in the fleece boots.

"I suddenly felt that I was a little silly to be fooled by you in the middle of the night..." Su Yan murmured.

King Yu laughed, took off the half body chain armor outside his battle robe, hung it on the back of the saddle, and stretched out his arms towards him: "Come, come on my horse."

Su Yan could imagine how warm the other party's embrace was.Different from the heat that Ah Zhui used his internal force to urge, the heat of Hibiscus City is a kind of strength and temperature that belongs to the flames of war, flowing in a fit body and iron-blooded will.

He hesitated for a moment between "warmth" and "skin", reluctantly chose the latter: "No need, I'm not cold."

King Yu seemed to have seen through this kind of duplicity a long time ago, and he didn't give him the right to refuse at all. With a lift of his arm, he easily lifted him onto his horse's back.

Su Yan struggled symbolically a few times, then quickly surrendered to Nuan Nuan's embrace, and thought to himself: Anyway, it's not the first time riding with him, and there is no one around.

The white horse suddenly lost its rider, but still jogged along with the black horse, as if it had recognized a reliable companion.Su Yan muttered: "Nothing."

"What are you talking about?" King Yu's voice sounded close to his ears, deep and deep, like a hot spring on a winter night.

Su Yan shivered involuntarily, and said casually, "I said that the golden helmet you collected will not come back. He Lin said that it was his father's royal use, and it's not good to be exiled, so he took it into the Qianqing Palace."

"You convinced me to use my many years of collection to weaken Zhu Helin's vigilance, and then lost it?"

"It's not lost, it was confiscated by the emperor."

"Does it make a difference to me?"

Su Yan felt a little sorry for King Yu, and said stubbornly: "You don't cherish people when they are there, and you always make troubles and make troubles. Now that people are gone, what's the use of thinking more about relics?"

King Yu clenched his fist for the rein and fell silent.

Su Yan became annoyed, and a guilty conscience rose spontaneously.He knew that Zhu Jincheng looked free and unrestrained, but in fact he couldn't let go of his brother who "died from illness". This feeling of nostalgia that was almost guilty was hidden in his heart, and it was a dark thorn that he had to prick from time to time.

——The fact that Emperor Jing Long was still alive, He Lin, Shen Qi, and Ah Zhui all knew about it, and even the eunuch Lan Xi participated in it, but Zhu Jincheng, who was his younger brother, was kept in the dark.

Previously, it was because of the instability of the court that he was worried that King Yu would be coerced by the Queen Mother's ambitions, or that he might have a different intention.Now that his loyalty to the country has been proved beyond doubt, should he continue to hide it?

But if you tell King Yu about this matter, will there be any accidents?After all, the emperor has been missing from Fenghe Bieyuan for several months and has not been traced until now, let alone what is hidden in it. What if he ruins the emperor's plan because he reveals the truth...it is really difficult to make a choice!

After a moment of silence, King Yu laughed lowly like self-deprecating: "You are right. There is no point in keeping things when people are gone, so let He Lin put them away."

Su Yan felt distressed for a moment, and took the initiative to hold King Yu's hand.

Before the words of comfort came out, he felt that King Yu pressed his chest hard against his back, and then he heard the other party say: "When the man is gone, there is no point in being chaste for him, why don't you turn to me to find comfort .”

Su Yan: ...

Su Yan: I knew that the word wave is engraved in the bone, and a dog can't spit out ivory!

King Yu is still trying to persuade him: "There is an old local custom of widowed sister-in-law marrying younger uncle, which means that the fat and water will not flow into outsiders' fields, why don't you think about it?"

Su Yan gritted his back molars: "Beimo still has the old custom of the eldest son marrying his stepmother! Why don't you ask me to think about it too?"

King Yu retorted in a natural tone: "Zhu Helin is the emperor, and sooner or later he will marry and inherit the emperor's heir. If you follow him with all your heart, you will cry in the future. But I am different. It may be continued, you follow me to live freely, is it better than being trapped in a deep palace? Besides, as for the little bastard, can the bed serve you comfortably?"

Su Yan didn't expect that King Yu would seriously analyze the pros and cons of such an absurd assumption, and the more he said it, the more obscene it was, which made his heart ache and fed the dog.

"Shut up!" Su Yan snarled against the wind, "Where's your face? Zhu Jincheng, where's your face? Was it cut off by a saber on the battlefield?"

King Yu gathered his arms, held him tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "No, when I saw you for the first time four years ago, I knew that shame is not only useless, but also hinders my wife, so I consciously gave it up. "

Su Yan really has nothing to do with this piece of hob meat.At the same time, he felt a sense of long-lost relaxation and happiness by accident, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

The new wind blows across the vast land, a pair of figures are galloping on the back of a horse, and the dark night gradually fades into misty indigo—the sky is about to dawn.

At dawn, King Yu got off his horse at the foot of the mountain and took Su Yan up a steep slope.

The soil layer on the steep slope was loose, and Su Yan felt a little uncomfortable climbing up with one foot deep and the other shallow.

Had Ah Zhui been by his side, he would have been reluctant to part with his hard work, so he had already used his lightness kung fu to carry him up and fly up.But King Yu didn't do that, but led the way like a guide, only when he couldn't keep up, he stopped and turned back to wait for him, and reached out to give him a hand at the steep place, that's all.

"If you are a child or a woman, I will carry you up." King Yu said jokingly.

From this, Su Yan heard what the other party meant - I will not treat you like a woman or a child, because in my heart you are a man just like me.

This also reminded him that on the battlefield before, King Yu invited him to sit on his horse and charge forward together——

"Same robe! Comrades!" When he was in the capital, King Yu once answered their relationship like this.Looking at it now, at least on this point, King Yu did not deceive or perfunctory at all, and indeed respected him as a robe.

It's not that Ah Zhui doesn't respect him, but...the stand is different, the mentality is different, and the way of expressing emotions is also different.

Su Yan seemed to understand why when he was with King Yu, even though he was often annoyed by the other party's obscenities, he still felt very comfortable and casual.

Looking back, it was obvious that he fell in love with him because of his appearance, but the most embarrassing situation and the dirtiest and ugly appearance of him also fell in the other party's eyes.Has your attitude towards him changed?not at all.

Hibiscus City's people are really intriguing.Violence and sobriety, jealousy and open-mindedness, indulgence and ambition, frivolity and heroism...all kinds of opposites are mixed in him, which is both contradictory and unified.

In my previous life, when I dug up the silhouette of the "God of War" from the leftovers of the history books and wonderful battle examples, I never thought that it would be such a person!

Su Yan laughed slowly, and replied in the same joking tone: "The 'good place' you mentioned had better be worth my effort to climb uphill, otherwise I won't believe a word of what you say in the future. gone."

King Yu asked back: "Then you might as well guess first, what am I going to show you?"

Su Yan: "Could it be the sea of ​​flowers, floating lanterns, ice sculptures and other beautiful scenery, those things that trick people into talking about love, you haven't seen enough with 27 former 'confidants'?"

King Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled meaningfully: "As expected of Su Qinghe. The only one in the world."

"It's here, look." He reached out to give Su Yan a hand at the top of the slope.

Su Yan looked around in the fading morning light, and saw a funnel-shaped basin in the center surrounded by rolling hills. The mountains were sparsely vegetated, and the ground was covered with withered grass. How could there be any scenery to speak of?

"That's it?"

"Yes, take a closer look."

Su Yan walked along the ridge for a short distance, and after rounding the headland that blocked his view, the dotted marching tents at the bottom of the basin came into view. He was startled and asked, "Which side is the military camp below? Beimo?"

King Yu smiled but did not answer.

Su Yan observed carefully again, and not only saw that the military tent system and camping method were the style of the Great Ming army, but also saw the key point from this peculiar terrain.

"...It really is a good place!" He clapped his hands and applauded, "What a wonderful place!"

King Yu looked at him with a smile, as if he was expecting his answer, to see if it coincided with his own.

Su Yan pointed forward: "The terrain of the basin here is like a tiger's mouth. The cliffs on both sides rise from the ground, making it difficult for apes to climb. But looking from the direction of the opening on that side, people don't feel that the terrain is steep and they feel vigilant. At a glance, the military camps stationed on the flat ground are like fat hanging from the mouth of a tiger!"

He pointed to the end of the funnel at the back of the basin: "There seems to be no road there, but there is a secret path connecting the gap between the two mountains, like a line of sky in the cliff. The enemy chased here, blocked the sight by the camp, thought It drove our army into a dead end. Our soldiers filed through that trail, and then lit the pre-buried gunpowder to blow up a line of sky, as if the bottom of the pocket was sewn to death."

"As for the opening of the bag over there, you only need to block it with falling rocks and rolling logs, and then shoot ten thousand arrows. This is called catching turtles in a urn, catching fish in a trap, and serving dumplings in a cauldron..." Su Yan said that he was excited, and patted hard Patting King Yu on the back, "How did you find this geomantic treasure land!"

The smile in King Yu's eyes deepened, and he said: "If there are still things that are not perfect, please enlighten me, Lord Supervisor."

Su Yan thought for a while, and suggested with some uncertainty: "How about setting up more tents? There must be no shortage of food, grass, ordnance, trenches in front of the camp, and barriers for horses. In short, the scale should be large, and the more serious the better.

"But when it comes to real action, it is not suitable for large troops to fight. Because the trail behind is too narrow, too many troops can't pass through in a short time. Once the enemy troops kill the soldiers and horses that are too late to exit the basin, they have to abandon... In order to To reduce battle damage, it is best to send an elite squad to carry out a strategy to lure the enemy. However, if the number is too small, the enemy may not be able to take the bait..."

Su Yan fell into deep thought, and finally laughed dryly: "Let's see if General Jingbei can turn 500 troops into a posture of 5 troops."

King Yu resisted the urge to hug and kiss him, turned his head and raised his jaw towards the thousand-top tents in the basin below: "One last guess, which team is inside?"

Do you still need to guess, of course it is your trump card elite troops——

"Heiyun Tuqi." Su Yan answered affirmatively.

King Yu picked up Su Yan and turned around twice.

"Oh, stop spinning, dizzy, dizzy..." Su Yan thumped him on the back, "The battle hasn't started yet, why are you so excited!"

King Yu put his feet on the ground, with his waist still in his arms, lowered his head and pressed the tip of his nose against his forehead and rubbed him affectionately: "It's a guest from afar, even if it's a bad guest. I will carefully prepare a big meal for Al Tan ...this is the last main course."

Su Yan gasped, "Tell me so early, aren't you afraid of leaking the military aircraft?"

"If you dare to reveal the military plan, I will personally beat you with a military stick—" King Yu patted his butt unscrupulously, "See how many thousand blows you can take?"

Su Yan: ...

Su Yan: Zhu Jincheng, you are a dignified prince and general. Not only are you famous for export, but you are also so worthless!

King Yu once again showed his unique skills and let go before he became angry. The words changed: "The sun is almost out of the mountain, and there is still no movement in the tent. These guys must have drunk and fell asleep? Are they not vigilant at all?" , should be punished."

"How to punish?" As soon as he talked about the business, Su Yan shifted his attention.

King Yu dragged him down the steep slope quickly, took out a black square scarf from the horse's bag, folded it in half, covered their mouths and noses, tied a knot behind their heads, and immediately became two masked men in black.

The horse did not bring it, but the longbow and quiver were hung on the saddle. King Yu pulled Su Yan on the horse and drew out the bow and arrow: "Follow me to the camp! Shoot off the banner in front of the main tent, and sweep the Chinese Ling this brat's face."

Su Yan remembered that Hua Ling was originally the head of the bodyguard of Prince Yu's mansion, and he should be his confidant, but King Yu didn't intend to indulge him because of this. Judging from this posture, he wanted to let him take the lead.

"Isn't it a nuisance to take me to the camp? Or let me go down, and I'll watch the fun here."

King Yu said: "Watching the excitement is no fun! Did I bring your little scorpion crossbow?

"Bring it, why don't you bring some self-defense weapons when you come to the border." Su Yan took out the small scorpion crossbow that had been with him for two years from the bag hanging on the back of the white horse, and skillfully put it on his arm.

King Yu smiled and said, "That's right. Let's compete to see who can shoot down the banner in front of the tent first."

That is the flag that represents the might of an army, shooting the flag is like slapping the face!Su Yan also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just play around with you once.
