King Zhenbei has a favorite

Snow hangs on the plum branches and hangs from the corners of the house. In winter in Jiuyuan City, it is equally cold everywhere.

Temporary General's Mansion, Nuan Pavilion Flower Hall, one side of the table, two cups of tea, the two sit facing each other.

To the east is a middle-aged man with a big square belly and cloudy eyes. It is You Dachun. To the west is an old man with a thin body and a sad face. His whole body smells of decay and dying.

"My lord, we can't go on like this." Li Gui spoke with a deliberate expression on his face.

You Dachun blew the tea leaves in annoyance: "I don't know better than you? It's been a waste of time every day, and there is no battle on the border. Huo Yan is in prison. I haven't made any achievements. Where can I get the face to return to Beijing? Your mother is still waiting for me. Let’s go home for the New Year!”

Li Gui smiled flatteringly and enviously: "Your Majesty really loves you."

"That is, my dear sister, can you not hurt me?"

You Dachun looked complacent and contemptuous, he was proud of himself, there were people in the court who were not panicked, and the one who despised was Li Gui, an old eunuch, no matter how envious he was, it was useless!

Li Gui held the teacup and took a sip: "Your Majesty is deeply favored by the Holy Family, and she came through hardships with the Emperor. She is undoubtedly loved, but it is a pity that she has no children so far, so she has to worry about the future. Work hard."

You Dachun was even more annoyed: "I know."

"I heard that your lord has copied the Red Silk Building—" Li Gui's eyes flickered, "I know that your lord is upright and has a noble character, so I don't care about doing fake things to make money, but I won't accept military orders abroad, as long as the general direction is good , That's right, the old slave thought... It doesn't matter if you are a little bold, the emperor sent you here to do something, what you want is the result, not the process."

You Dachun was thoughtful.

It seems that everyone thinks so, so can he be bolder?

"Eunuch, what's the trick?"

Just as I was about to discuss it in detail, I suddenly reported that there was news!Everyone looked around and found a person, although this person was not Gan Siniang, but his description was very close, he must be Gan Siniang's accomplice!

"Okay!" You Dachun immediately stood up, "What are you waiting for, go arrest someone!"

"The other party's hiding place is a little subtle... If you are not careful, you may be discovered by King Zhenbei."

"where?"

"Student of Master Martial Arts in Wang's House, Xue Qing is next door to Xue's house."

You Dachun was startled after hearing this, the location is indeed a bit tricky, this person is clever in hiding, this is dark under the lamp!Huo Yan was so stupid that he didn't notice it!So this is an opportunity God gave him, to snatch people and ask questions, what achievements can't be made?

"Go! I will personally lead the team!"

Having no time to pay attention to the old eunuch, You Dachun grabbed his weapon and hurried away.

The flower hall fell into silence again.

Li Gui's eyelids drooped, revealing only a faint light.

He sneered, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup.

You Dachun called his confidants to discuss the strategy, and they all felt that they should take action now!why?Because of his lucky star, Gu Ting!The person in charge of watching over there sent a message to report, but Gu Ting and Huo Yan were still arguing, Huo Yan couldn't coax them, he just blocked people at the corner of the street, and now they are still fighting!It's good to fight, it's fun to play, Mr. Gu is so good!Please keep it up!

You don't need You Dachun to think of a way to keep King Zhenbei busy, he is already overwhelmed by Xiao Qing'er, so why don't you rush to take advantage of his illness to kill him?Let's go now without further ado!

"If things don't go well, King Zhenbei—"

Some subordinates were worried, and You Dachun waved his hands, thinking that it was not a problem at all: "Then find someone to send a message to Mr. Gu, and ask him to help delay it-don't worry, he will still give me my face!"

You Dachun led the team in person, and set off with great vigor and arrogance. The ostentation was so spectacular that others couldn't find it, but Wu Feng noticed it.Without it, this address is too sensitive. On the day of Gu Ting's probing, he followed him personally. How could he not know about Qing Falcon?

Today is the fifth day, and the timing is critical. Worried about something bad about You Dachun, Wu Feng hurriedly followed up quietly, not forgetting to wave for Baozilian Meng Zhen to come over, so he told him to go to Gu Ting and tell him about it. Let me know everything about you.

Meng Zhen was entrusted with a big task, Baozi's face was tense, and he clenched his fists: "You can rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter!"

In order to successfully complete the task, Meng Zhen also made a bowl of soup that Gu Ting cooked in the morning, and carefully prepared the small handkerchief, as much as possible to prevent himself from vomiting blood, and ran to Gu Ting's place with a serious face.

After inquiring all the way over, Gu Ting's unilateral snowball fight against Huo Yan had just ended.

Meng Zhen raised his little hand from a distance, waving and waving.

Gu Ting didn't see it.

Meng Zhen pursed his lips, and while running forward, he continued to stretch out his hands, waving, waving, both hands.

Gu Ting still didn't see it.

Meng Zhen Baozi's face puffed up, and he simply jumped and ran forward, waving his hands and waving and waving.

Gu Ting finally saw it.

"I seem to be looking for something, so I'll go and have a look first?"

Huo Yan nodded: "Okay."

When Gu Ting walked up to Meng Zhen, Meng Zhen could not run anymore after running for a long time, puffed up her small face and complained: "You are still laughing, don't laugh! Who is it for me to pant like this!"

Gu Ting smiled: "Okay, stop laughing, what's wrong?"

Meng Zhen hadn't even breathed yet, and was already anxious: "There is something, the big thing is not—"

Reluctantly choking on the wind, he coughed earth-shatteringly.

It was also at this time that the accident happened suddenly.

"Huo Yan, return my brother!"

A man suddenly appeared with the wind blowing from the north, dressed in riding clothes, with black hair in a high beam, holding a seven-foot saber in his hand, with a blade three feet long and a handle four feet long, with a stern and chilling aura, and the blow went straight to Huo Yan's face. out the door--

This is a deadly stance!

Huo Yan went out quite casually today. Apart from the dagger that was just handed to Gu Ting and thrown away, he had no other weapon. He only had a horsewhip in his hand. He squinted his eyes and flicked his wrist. , actually caught the opponent's weapon, and yanked it back fiercely——

The opponent was obviously not a good person, so he simply followed this force, tapped his toes on the ground, leaned his body, and kicked directly towards Huo Yan's waist!

Huo Yan took a small step to one side, dodged the foot cleanly, straight down with his elbow, and smashed hard!

The opponent's waist was extremely flexible, and Gu Ting saw that he was turning to an almost impossible angle, avoided the blow, then moved back, raised the knife again, and slashed at Huo Yan again!Huo Yan flipped his wrist naturally, twisting, curling, and whipping the whip again, trying to limit the opponent's attack as much as possible while attacking the opponent!

The two fought together at an extremely fast speed, with fierce collisions of strength and force, and also had the ingenuity of turning and moving. When the movements were fast, their figures even swayed into phantoms, and outsiders could not tell them apart at all!

Slowly, Gu Ting could see the face of the visitor clearly, with fine eyes and long eyebrows, thin lips with peaks, he looked very smart, a sinister and cunning kind of smart.

His momentum is somewhat similar to Huo Yan's, his movements are not sloppy at all, there is no fancy work, all are real killing moves, that is the temperament that can only be honed in the blood on the battlefield.Compared with Huo Yan's stability and rigidity, he is more ruthless, yin, and violent under suppression.

Gu Ting felt very strange, he didn't know this person, but the opponent's saber technique was so imposing that he could almost see his heart.

"Where did you hide my brother!" The man was full of hostility, his voice was as cold and cold as his eyes, "Do you think you can threaten him like this!"

Huo Yan flicked the whip, while calming down, he had to deal with it seriously: "Isn't this a threat?"

The visitor swung his saber and forcibly felled a big tree. The snow foam produced a large amount of silver frost: "I said, give me back my brother!"

The momentum is really scary.

Gu Ting didn't know who he was, but he kept talking about his younger brother. It felt like... there was a bun-face around him who was always talking about my brother?

He subconsciously looked back at Meng Zhen, Meng Zhen was already fixed in place, stunned, stupid, unable to make a sound, but big tears rolled down.

It really is.

Gu Ting took out his handkerchief and wiped Meng Zhen's tears away: "Your brother?"

Meng Zhen hummed, feeling a little shy again for some reason, and covered his face: "...it's my brother."

Gu Ting: ...

It's a brother, it's a brother, why are you shy?

He took a serious look at the person, Meng Ce.No matter how you observe it, there is only one conclusion, which is indeed very powerful.Meng Ce, the king of Guzang, has heard a lot of gossip in his previous life, but has never seen a real person. So he looks like this...

Meng Ce and Huo Yan fought fast and anxiously, and the movement was extremely loud. Gu Ting and Meng Zhen saw it, and of course others could see it too.

For example, Jiang Muyun.

He was still far away on the side of the street, failed to attract contacts, and he didn't leave after being pointed at his nose and scolded, or he saw this scene from a distance before he had time to leave.

"Huh? That's Meng Ce? King Guzang?" His subordinates were even more excited than him.

Jiang Muyun narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure that's Meng Ce?" He had never seen King Guzang himself.

The subordinate cupped his hands: "Yes, I have seen the portrait of King Guzang, it should be because he didn't—"

Jiang Muyun had already waved his hand: "It must be him."

Disregarding the dialogue of other products, this conclusion is not wrong.Only Meng Ce would worry about Meng Zhen's safety, and only Meng Ce would be so nervous about his younger brother, talking about it all.

The subordinate didn't understand: "But we didn't give this time and place, why Meng Ce..."

"Haven't you noticed?" Jiang Muyun closed his eyes slightly, "He doesn't believe us."

The subordinate was thoughtful: "Because this is King Zhenbei's territory?"

Jiang Muyun shook his head: "King Guzang is not a weak person, and he will not be afraid of Huo Yan. Suddenly, he should have received other news."

But he has considered all the situations, and he thinks that there are no mistakes in the plan. What is it... that he ignored?

Jiang Muyun instinctively felt that there was a problem, someone broke his game.

"Then, shall we go?"

"No, look again."

Jiang Muyun shifted his gaze slightly and saw Gu Ting in the distance.

is that you

Since entering Jiuyuan City, the things in his hands have been not going well, and every time things go wrong, it must be related to Gu Ting.

Did he do something wrong?

Meng Ce and Huo Yan fought more and more fiercely, no matter who made the move, there would be a cloud of snow and mist, and it would have been too much for others, their heads were in different places, but the two of them were fine, on the contrary, they became more and more courageous as they fought, and no one was allowed to approach .

Gu Ting saw Huo Yan's hidden guard, and also saw the people behind Meng Ce. The people on both sides were trying to get closer, but they were chased away by their master himself. In the battle circle between the two, they only fought each other, and the wind and thunder could not stop them.

"The surname is Huo." Once again, Meng Ce slashed down heavily with his saber, "If my younger brother hurts a single hair, I'm at odds with you!"

Huo Yan made a backhand with a whip: "Isn't it already irreconcilable?"

Meng Ce was forced to take two steps back, without speaking, but his eyes became more fierce.

Huo Yan gave another whip: "Thank you, six years ago, the [-] troops of our Zhenbei Army were lost, and the five lives of my Huo family were buried—Meng Ce, you may sleep peacefully at night these years. The cold dream is entangled!"

Meng Ce blocked it, gritted his teeth, and his voice became more indifferent and ruthless: "The battle won't win, it's your Suppressing the North Army that's useless, none of my business!"

Huo Yan's eyes were as cold as ice: "But if you are willing to help, none of them will die!"

The two bumped into each other hard again, shoulders and arms connected, making a terrifying muffled sound.

They were like ferocious beasts arousing blood, fighting with sincerity, getting more and more fierce, both sides began to see blood.

"Even so! I didn't kill your Suppressing Northern Army, nor did your family!" Meng Ce narrowed his eyes, blood seeping from the bottom of his eyes, "If my brother ruins your hand, I want your whole family to be buried with him!"

Huo Yan sneered: "You can't even protect your own family. If you go to other people's territory to demand someone, if your brother dies, shouldn't you be the one who should apologize with death? You said just now that you can't protect your family, yes I am useless!"

The atmosphere between the two is dangerous, and the tension is not just as simple as a servant.

Gu Ting looked at Meng Zhen again, the poor Baozilian was already crying.

He didn't dare to cry loudly, he bit his fist and whimpered: "It was my fault, it's all my fault... If I didn't run, my brother wouldn't have chased here, and wouldn't have fought Huo Yan..."

Gu Ting patted Meng Zhen on the back distressedly: "Fighting willfully, it's them who don't care about other people's worries. How could it be your fault? Be good, it's okay, I'll stay with you."

Meng Zhen cried even harder.

Gu Ting: ...

"I'm worried about my brother...you must be worried about Huo Yan too..."

Meng Zhen raised his head, his eyes were as clean as they had been washed with water, and he was still choked up, so he worried about Gu Ting: "Don't worry, Huo Yan is your lover, I won't let my brother hurt him!"

Gu Ting: ...

Um?What are you talking about, silly boy?

Meng Zhen continued to cry, the tears continued to fall, his eyes became firm, and he clenched his fists: "If my brother dares to kill Huo Yan, I will go over and help Huo Yan block the knife!"

Gu Ting: ...

This attitude of no turning back, did you say something wrong just now?Is Huo Yan my lover or your lover?

Meng Zhen: "Don't worry about me, my brother doesn't dare to hurt me! As long as I go up to block him, he won't dare to move!"

Gu Tingxin said it was true.All the words about killing the whole family for the sake of his younger brother have been released, what else would Meng Ce not dare to do?His younger brother, Meng Zhen, is probably his only weakness... He was overwhelmed by the strange brain circuit of Baozi's face, and he still couldn't react, so Meng Zhen carefully grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"I...they seem to be talking about the war six years ago. I didn't know they had such grievances. My brother never let me ask about outside affairs, and never let me take care of them. They didn't have a good relationship, and they fought so fiercely. , it seems that in the future...don't want me, okay?"

Meng Zhen's voice was low and humble, as if he was worried that Gu Ting would stop talking to him from now on, and tears came down: "It's not good if they're not good, don't ignore me, okay?"

Gu Ting's heart softened all of a sudden: "What does it have to do with you? I am me, you are you, they are them, we are friends, it's none of anyone's business!"

Meng Zhen's eye circles turned red: "I knew you were a good person..."

Gu Ting rubbed Meng Zhen's head, and the child rolled up his sleeves, and was about to set off arrogantly: "Okay, then I'll go."

Gu Ting: "What are you going to do?"

"Block the sword," Meng Zhen said with a matter-of-fact look and firm eyes, "Although I don't know Huo Yan well, he is your lover. If something happens to you, you must feel bad. I can't make you feel bad!"

Gu Ting: ...

He quickly grabbed the bear boy by the back of his neck and held him down.

"Nonsense! Can a knife be blocked casually! The sword has no eyes, what should I do if I am really hurt? Those two are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and they know how to fight. If you rub some oily skin, they know how to treat them. If you dare to go up, you will be stabbed to death." What should I do? Don't go!"

A series of words stunned Meng Zhen: "No, not going?"

Gu Ting pressed the person: "Yes, don't go!"

He had already noticed that Meng Ce was careless and careless, but Huo Yan said some things on purpose... Why did he say these things on purpose?Just to provoke?

It feels like even if he and Meng Zhen go out now, these two people will not stop immediately.

He can't figure it out, and he doesn't want to think about it anymore. He and Meng Zhen are both laymen in the fight, so it's better not to meddle in it. It won't do anything good. There are secret guards on both sides, so it's impossible for his master to have an accident , When the enthusiasm is over, be more rational, and the scene may calm down. Instead of worrying about it, it's better to do something else.

Gu Ting asked Meng Zhen: "By the way, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

Only then did Meng Zhen pat his forehead: "Ah, Wu Feng asked me to bring you a message. Something happened! Something happened! You Dachun found out about that spy called Qingsha, and brought people there to arrest him!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Today is exactly the fifth day, the timing is too critical, maybe a little later, Qing Falcon will contact and act, at this point You Dachun has gone, what if something goes wrong?

"No, I have to go and have a look!" Gu Ting lifted his robe to leave.

Meng Zhen looked at the two who were fighting in the distance with a serious face: "You go, I will watch here."

Are you staring?Are you staring at the past to block the knife at any time?

Gu Ting felt that it was really unreliable and too dangerous.Still the same sentence, a sword has no eyes, what should I do if I get hurt?

"You can't be here." He reached out and picked up the boy by the back of his neck, "You have to follow me!"
