General Zhai held two letters in his hand, one good news and one bad news.

The good news comes from Bo Junhe, this guy who cheated people without paying for his life is about to come back, and he successfully rescued his junior brother.God knows how hard Zhai Xi has been trying to suppress Jiang Han and his group recently. If Bai Junhe doesn't come back, he will have to pay for his life.And the safety of Fu Donglou also made Zhai Xi feel relieved. It must be a blessing for the younger brother to survive the catastrophe.

According to Bai Junhe's original plan, after the army arrived in Hanzhong, the main force should be sent straight to Chang'an via Ziwu Road to beat Beiyan by surprise, but the army received a tip before it arrived in Hanzhong, and Shi Chaoyi sent a supervising army to Chang'an.This supervisor is none other than Nan Feng.

If others don't know who Nan Feng is, how can Zhai Xi not know!Although Mu Yan intentionally kept it from him and didn't want him to know too much, and didn't tell Zhai Xi that Nanfeng was Feng Yi, but Zhai Xi and his senior brother had always had a good relationship, and the two often corresponded. Can't guess the identity of the elder brother, just pretending not to know.

Because of mutual understanding, Zhai Xi firmly disagreed with the surprise attack on Chang'an.The ability of Nanfeng to lead the army to fight is probably not much worse than that of Linghu Chun and Bo Junhe.If Bo Junhe personally led Zhai Xi, he would not have said anything, but without Bo Junhe, if Jiang Han and others dared to attack Chang'an, they would definitely die and never return.

It would be fine if he could be straightforward and explain clearly, but Zhai Xi couldn't sell his big brother yet.Zhai Xi refused to agree to send troops but could not give a convincing reason, so he naturally had a dispute with the generals.Jiang Han could have led the army as the general of Yubayashi, but Zhai Xi disguised himself as Bai Junhe, and he really made a fuss to let the soldiers below know that Bo Junhe temporarily left the Yubayashi army in order to save Fu Donglou. Kouzi's reputation will be completely ruined, and the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken.As a result, both sides froze.

Fortunately, Zhai Xi was someone Bo Junhe trusted, and Jiang Han and the others were not reckless warriors. The two sides hadn't reached the point of confrontation, so they just sent a letter to Bo Junhe and waited for him to make a decision.

Zhai Xi didn't expect that his clever junior had already figured out all the backgrounds of his master and senior brother. Bo Junhe sent word back to say that he agreed to stand still and Zhai Xi was quite happy.But when she received the second letter, which was the bad news, Zhai Xi's joy disappeared.

The second letter came from Nanfeng, also known as Fengyi.Feng Yi said in the letter that he would like to meet Zhai Xi that night.

This letter was delivered together with the routine documents, and when Zhai Xi saw the letter, he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care to thoroughly investigate whether there were any spies in the army, so he hurriedly arranged the things at hand and sneaked out of the barracks.

"I have seen Big Brother."

At night, the weather was not clear and the moonlight was not visible, and the layers of branches and leaves blocked the figure in front of him from seeing clearly, but it was enough for Zhai Xi to recognize who the other party was.

"Ci Zhuo, long time no see. How have you been lately?" Taking off the mask on his face and turning around, Feng Yi smiled at Zhai Xi.

"Thanks to you, life is really not very good."

"I haven't taught you a lesson yet, you blamed me first." That's what Feng Yi said, but Feng Yi didn't mean to be angry, "You were promoted to the general of Yubayashi, and you didn't say to pass some military reports to me. If I take down Hanzhong City as soon as possible, you can go back to work with Master as soon as possible, right?"

"Senior brother really came to me for this." Zhai Xi twitched her lips, smiling coldly, "Senior brother, have you ever thought about it, if Bo Junhe dared to let me pretend to be him to lead the army, he was fully prepared. If something goes wrong with Lin Jun, I will be the first to be killed."

"By the way, senior brother, you are really supernatural. You actually know that Bai Junhe in the Habayashi Army is not him. The lower-ranking generals in the Habayashi Army don't even know."

Feng Yi casually leaned against the tree, and said lazily with a careless look: "Bo Junhe values ​​beauty and despises family and country. In order to save his Zhuang Wang Qing, he left the army and left his post without permission. Even if the Habayashi Army suffered a crushing defeat It is his responsibility, how can you take the blame."

"The beauty you mentioned is our junior!" Zhai Xi clenched his fists subconsciously, his nails dug into his flesh and made deep marks, "Even if he has never seen your face, he rarely sees Master's face, but He has always admired you, but you have used him time and time again, even disregarding his life and death! In vain, even if he has lost his memory, he still misses Master, thinking that Master's plans for him are sincerely for his own good What! How innocent is he, you don’t feel guilty for doing that?!”

"I really don't understand why Master always wants to restore the country! Li Tang betrayed him, took away his honor, status and even his life, but he still wants to help that family restore the country! Master has the name of virtue, but Has he really considered the well-being of the people in the world? Has he thought about the consequences once a third party joins the battle? He hasn't thought about it, right? He can sacrifice his own apprentice, so why would he care about those things? People who have nothing to do with him!"

Feng Yi restrained his contemptuous expression, covered Zhai Xi from head to toe with serious and cold eyes, and said after a while: "You have kept these words in your heart for a long time. In recent years, you have become more and more dissatisfied with the things that Master told you , the East Building will become what it is today, have you contributed to the flames?"

"Even though Donglou has amnesia, it won't affect Master's plan at all. A person who has amnesia is just a blank sheet of paper. You can teach him what to do, but why is he so devoted to King Rui? Let's talk about his abilities." , I’ve never heard you mention it to your master before. Could it be that you secretly taught Donglou Gongshuzhe’s skills?”

Looking directly into Feng Yi's eyes, the indifference and coldness in the elder brother's eyes is like a gust of north wind blowing through the bottom of Zhai Xi's heart, turning the warm blood in his heart into frost.

"Eldest brother, so in your heart, I am such a person who deceives the master and destroys the ancestors. Hehe, I am in a dilemma between the righteousness of the country and the master and the apprentice. It is all wishful thinking! I have only met Ah Zhe a few times in these years. Times? You can count them on your fingers, yet you still doubt me so much!" With a wry smile, Zhai Xi's heart ached unbearably, and there was more sadness in his eyes looking at Feng Yi.

"Leave aside how Master treats me and Ah Zhe, senior brother, tell me, do you really think Master's actions are right?"

"Ci Zhuo, if Master didn't adopt you, how could you survive, let alone enter the court as an official?"

"If I didn't have the Yirong technique handed down in my family, and I didn't have a close friend like Ah Zhe, would Master have saved me back then?" With a mocking smile, Zhai Xi's disappointment was palpable, "What Ah Zhe and I want is peace in the world I am grateful for Master’s life-saving grace and nurturing grace, but this does not mean that I have to blindly follow Master’s deeds.”

"Ci Zhuo, I don't understand why you dislike Li Tang Fuguo so much. Is Chu State or Yan State better than Li Tang? Chu Emperor is narrow-minded and suspicious, and has no heroic style; let alone Yan Emperor. There is no kindness and generosity in the world, and there is no kindness at all for killing the heroes of the founding of the country secretly. Is there any hope for such a country?"

Zhai Xi shook his head: "The reason why I was willing to help Master at the beginning was because I could not see any hope for Chu or Yan. But today is different from the past. Bo Junhe's courage and Donglou's talent are enough to give Da Chu a brighter future."

"You have to know that Donglou is different from Ah Zhe. He is not a craftsman who can only make all kinds of utensils. His knowledge and thoughts are very comparable to others. I don't know why he became like this after losing his memory, but he changed. The reason is not important. I believe that if he and Bo Junhe work together, Ah Zhe and I will be able to live the peaceful life we ​​want as soon as possible."

"Ci Zhuo, I don't want to say this, but I have to remind you that Gongshu Zhe is still in Master's hands." Feng Yi's face became more gloomy, "You keep talking about him, but have you ever thought about it? What you are doing now is betting on his life."

"Why don't I know." Zhai Xi smiled sadly, "If I betrayed the Habayashi Army because of my concerns about his life and death, fell into the state of Chu, and dragged the people of the world into endless wars, A Zhe would probably die. Immediately kill yourself until you die and you won’t see me again. If something happens to him, I will compensate him with his life. Furthermore, although I don’t agree with what Master did, I didn’t do anything to betray Master.”

Straightened up and took two steps, Feng Yi stood beside Zhai Xi and said softly: "I asked you to come out today and asked you to give me information about the Habayashi Army. I just wanted to give you a chance to save the public and defeat Zhe. You and I have known each other for many years. I can't bear to see you sad or even let you die, will you really sit back and watch Bo Jun and sabotage his plan as a master?"

"What do you mean!"

"Ci Zhuo, whether it's you or Gongshu Zhe, your hearts are more or less filled with the world. But I," Feng Yi touched his chest, "my heart is very small, and he can only accommodate one person. That person If he wants to win the world, I will help him fight for it. If that person wants to destroy the world, I will be his sword. The only thing I want in my life is him."

"Eldest brother, you and master..." Suddenly understanding something important, Zhai Xi's eyes widened in astonishment.

"In terms of war, I may not be the opponent of Bo Junhe and Linghuchun, but the battle of a country is not only the soldiers, horses, money and food of the two sides, the matter is far from that simple."

Feng Yi took out a hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Zhai Xi, and didn't say goodbye to Zhai Xi, he put on his mask again and left with hands behind his back.

Mu Yan was sitting in the gazebo playing the piano, not even a servant boy was left by his side.

Qingcheng Mountain is lush and green, and the mountain stream is gurgling with birds singing and flowers fragrant. If Mu Yan's piano sound is less irritable and harsh, it would be suitable for this beautiful scenery.

Although Lei Ting's betrayal was somewhat unexpected, it couldn't make Mu Yan worry so much.Although Lei Ting has been with Mu Yan for a long time, Mu Yan has never asked him to do any important things. Most of the time, Lei Ting is only responsible for protecting Mu Yan's safety.In fact, Lei Ting could not find out many of Mu Yan's plans, and even Mu Yan's identity could not be obtained.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if one of the guards can kill him, Mu Yan, the national teacher, has been working in vain for so many years.

What really worried him was the news that came this morning—Gongshu Zhe was missing.He just went to find Gongshu Zhe a few days ago, and Gongshu Zhe disappeared!It's not about running away, or about being rescued, but about disappearing. Mu Yan searched all over the other gardens and couldn't figure out how and when Gong Shuzhe disappeared.

It's not that Mu Yan is ignorant of Gong Shuzhe's methods, he occasionally plots against those guarding him, just for the sake of having a private meeting with Zhai Xi and growing affection for his son and daughter.Even if Gongshu Zhe disappeared out of thin air, Mu Yan did not believe that Gongshu Zhe was able to escape because of his own ability.If Gongshu Zhe could really escape by himself, he wouldn't have been held hostage in Bieyuan for so many years.

It's not terrible to lose a chess piece to control Zhai Xi, what's terrible is the person who rescued Gong Shuzhe.The enemy is hiding in the dark and their strength is unknown. This is the scary thing.

Who helped Gongshu Zhe?Is it Prince Rui's Mansion?He didn't even notice that Wangfu's hand reached out to him!Or is this the result of the cooperation between the Wangfu and Xiangfu?

"It's not like... who is it..."

As soon as the hand tightened, the strings of the piano broke immediately.Mu Yan stared blankly at the fingertips that were torn by the strings. After a long time, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sucked his fingertips in his mouth. The bloody taste filled his mouth.

The other courtyard where Gong Shuzhe was placed under house arrest is a very special place, not to mention remote and heavily organised.The courtiers of Da Chu didn't know where Gong Shuzhe was, but how could Gu Xian not know where the other courtyard was.Losing a living person, Mu Yan can hide it for a while but can't hide it for a lifetime, let alone Gu Xian who pays special attention to Mu Yan's movements recently.And Mu Yan also seemed to intend to release this rumor to investigate the movement of the Wangfu Xiangfu, so it is not a secret that Gong Shuzhe disappeared within a certain range.

The chief of the palace was called, Gu Xian leaned on the soft couch and looked at the old servant who had followed the late king and himself for many years in a vague way, Wang Sheng's insight into the world made Wang Sheng secretly tremble, he couldn't guess why the master asked him to come Why.

"Wang Sheng, who is taking care of the lonely study these days?"

Bowing deeply, Wang Sheng's posture was more humble than before: "His Royal Highness's study has always been taken care of by servants, and he never does anything to others. This is the rule of the palace."

"A few days ago, Gu asked you to go to the study to get a letter and send it to He'er, do you still remember?"

"The servant remembers that the letter was handed over to the messenger by the servant himself, and no one else interfered."

"But the news in Gu's letter leaked out, who should be held accountable?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng immediately knelt down, pointed to the sky with two fingers, and said, "Master, this slave can swear to the sky that I have never done anything wrong to my master!"

"Don't worry." Gu Xian waved him up, "Gong Shuzhe is missing."

Looking carefully at every expression on Wang Sheng's face, Gu Xian continued slowly: "He'er wrote to say that he asked Zhai Xi to pretend to be his commander, and he himself went to rescue Wang Qing. There is only one lonely person in the capital. One person knows the details, and Cui Mingduo and Fu Zekai only know the surface."

"Cui Mingduo is Gu's confidant. The war strategy backed up by the Ministry of War is a top secret. Although Cui Mingduo handled it, he didn't unpack the strategy. Therefore, Cui Mingduo didn't know about Zhai Xi's disguise."

"Fu Xiang and Gu are teaming up to fight against the enemy. He is the order of Zhongshu. Although he has the means to know a little bit of the inside story, he will never let it out. If Fu Xiang can't make Gu trust him in the survival of the Great Chu Kingdom, Gu will not let Fu Xiang live to this day."

"But this news is still known by people who shouldn't know it. If the news hadn't been leaked, how could Gongshu Zhe disappear? He is the only way to hold Zhai Xi. Do you know who is so quick, faster than him?" Gu and Fuxiang sent people to rescue Gong Shuzhe even faster?"

"Master, what are you talking about? This slave really doesn't understand." Cold sweat rolled down his forehead, Wang Sheng didn't dare to look at Gu Xianru with real eyes, but kept kowtowing and shouting for grievances.

"Wang Sheng, I know that you will not betray the palace. I believe that you have never had the intention of harming Gu and the lord..." Getting up from the couch, walking to squat down in front of Wang Sheng, Gu Xian squeezed Wang Sheng's chin and forced him to look at him , Wang Sheng squeezed so hard that he cried out in pain, but he couldn't restrain the trembling of his fingertips.

"But the person you are loyal to is not only Gu and He'er, but there is another person you swear to follow..."

Wang Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and his canthus were about to split.

"Tell me..." His voice was choked with sobs, and Gu Xian lost control of his emotions, "Tell me if he is still alive!"
