Jiangshan side

The first day of December in the sixth year of Dacheng in Houye calendar

It was found that the sixth prince, Wan Teng Zhongshi, was assassinated and killed by Donggao's assassins. The whole world was in an uproar when the news was announced, but Donggao Kingdom did not respond to this.

On the same day, Babaili urgently reported that Pingyi fell, and the Nanping army attacked Yuzhou through Pingyi, and was defeated like a mountain.

The army has already been scattered all over the place, and they are all lined up in front of the mansion, and they are about to go to the battlefield with Baili Ge to live and die together.

"Follow General Baili to the death—to defeat Nanping—"

"Follow General Baili to the death—to defeat Nanping—"

"Follow General Baili to the death—to defeat Nanping—"

Amidst all the shouting, Bailige in military uniform led Guan Yixiao and Mu Jingnian out of the mansion and came to the door.The three of them stood between the waves of unison, and suddenly realized that it was time to say goodbye.

The peace in the troubled world is short-lived, but the war is long.

"It's only been a short month since I got to know Ah Jing."

Mu Jingnian looked at the valiant army indifferently, and smiled slightly: "It's only been a month since I arrived in Houye, and it should be time to return home now."

"Today is just the time to say goodbye, and it is also our fate." Bailige looked at Guan Yixiao, who was looking dull, and patted him on the back: "Guan Guan, you may not be able to return here, what do you want to say?"

Guan Yixiao came back to his senses, brought the wine glass, and said with a soft smile: "It's a chance to meet each other for a moment. Today we talk happily over wine, and I will sing a farewell song. First, I wish my brother victory in the battlefield. Second,..." He looked at Mu Jing Even though the other party didn't respond in the slightest, he still had tenderness that couldn't be concealed: "I hope Jingnian will return home safely."

"Okay!" Baili Ge said with a sudden smile, "Today may also be the last time I hear you sing."

With the sound of drums and thunder, the strong men in front of the general's mansion looked deathly as if they were at home. Under Baili Ge's order, they moved out slowly, winding out of the city among a long line of dragons, like flowing eastward into the sea.

Guan Yixiao was dressed in white and stood by the drum, watching the marching troops, she said gracefully:

Falling rain in autumn and winter, sending you to the front of the mansion in the troubled times of the country.

When we met by chance, we used the wine to face the wind, and looked at the sky in front of the court.

The flowers fall in the flowing water, lamenting that the fate is shallow, but the friendship is deep.

Guan Yixiao stood on the drum platform, watching Bailige get on the horse, and Mu Jingnian also flew up, and the black clothes landed on the pavilion on the east side of the mansion. With an unreserved determination, he flew away.

The general goes out to fight, the ranger walks away, and the actor sings his praises. This is also a good story in the field.

Five days later.

【Donggao Palace】

"Father calm down..."

"You bastard! How could I have such a stupid son as you!"

The enraged King Donggao and the Crown Prince Donggao kneeling and kowtowing, there was no one in the hall, and the reprimands of hating iron but not steel echoed in the glorious hall.

"Father...my son and son just want to eradicate Bailige for father..." Zhao Pin looked at his father with aggrieved expression.

"Idiot! Once Bailige dies, Nanping is bound to annex the back country, and the strength of the Southern Unity will greatly increase. With the gradual rise of Beijing, is there any way for us Donggao to survive?!" Zhao Xianqing was furious, frowning angrily Staring at his incompetent son, "What's more, Houye has found out about your little tricks now! Now we are still at war with Beijing. If Houye takes the opportunity to attack, wouldn't I, Dong Gao, be ruined by you, a yellow-haired boy?" In hand!!"

"This, this, this... Beijing's attack is really none of my business..." Zhao Pin said sadly.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Xianqing roared, "Do you think Lu Fenglin is as stupid as you?!"

"Then father...then what should we do..." Zhao Pin panicked.

Zhao Xianqing blushed with anger, and sat down on the dragon seat angrily, gasping for breath: "It's just a gamble, I'll settle this matter, you go back to the East Palace and contemplate behind closed doors."

"Yes, thank you father." Zhao Pin swallowed, got up and left tremblingly.

Only Zhao Xianqing was left sitting on the dragon seat, with a serious expression, waiting impatiently for someone to come.He paced back and forth, and from time to time asked the old eunuch beside him if he could come.

"Mu Jingnian is coming—"

Zhao Xianqing cheered up immediately with a report, and stepped forward quickly: "Let him in quickly!"

In the next moment, a black shadow passed by many guards and came steadily to Zhao Xianqing's side.

"Bold! Use lightness kung fu in the hall!" the chief guard said angrily, but Zhao Xianqing gave him a glare and ordered him to retreat quickly.And Zhao Xianqing walked quickly to Mu Jingnian, and said with a smile:

"Master Mu, long time no see."

Mu Jingnian still looked indifferent, clasped his fists and performed a quack salute, still simple and straightforward: "I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for me?"

"The battle between Houye and Nanping is imminent right now, do you know about this?" Zhao Xianqing asked.

Mu Jingnian thought of the farewell a few days ago, and then thought of Guan Yixiao, his expression became a little stiff, but he still nodded calmly.

"I want you to kill Bailige." Zhao Xianqing said directly.

Mu Jingnian's face didn't change when he heard the words, but his eyes were a little weirder.

"Beijing has just founded the country, and this war is just to explore the truth, but there is Bailige in the back field, and Fuxi in Nanping... This is the enemy." Zhao Xianqing chuckled, "If you kill Bailige, you will be defeated." Let Nanping annex the back country, although the strength of the Southern Unification Association will greatly increase, but if it attacks with lightning speed when it regroups, it may be able to take the South into its pocket."

"What's more, you also know that our country and the army are at odds, and it is imperative to go to war. Only by preemptively killing Bailige will we have a chance of winning." Zhao Xianqing looked worried, and he turned to Mu Jingnian and continued, "Therefore, it is imperative to assassinate Baili Ge, that's why I called you here today."

Mu Jingnian stood motionless on the spot, seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand. After a while, he suddenly asked: "How does Your Majesty want to assassinate?"

Zhao Xianqing laughed loudly: "This time Bailige is going on an expedition, there are opportunities for assassination everywhere, and Young Hero Mu only needs to take other people's heads!"

Mu Jingnian stared straight at the carved railings and painted buildings in the imperial palace, as if he wanted to smash the wall to pieces.He held the sword in his hand, Guan Yixiao's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and all kinds of situations that the other party was entangled with Baili Ge, and suddenly a magical idea came to his mind:

"Of course."

【Yuzhou·Nanping Army Garrison】

The inspiring war song reverberated in the Nanping army, which started a prairie fire. The flag was victorious, and Pingyi was captured and pursued all the way to the outside of Yuzhou City. This kind of winning streak was unprecedented. Drink drippingly and celebrate this rare victory.

"Your Majesty is here—"

I don't know who yelled, the military song suddenly stopped, and all the soldiers quickly saluted: "See Your Majesty—"

I saw Sima Yun was wearing armor, and he was in a hurry like an ant on a hot pot. He rushed into the middle of the bonfire and shouted: "Who knows where the military master has gone?!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the military adviser said that he should go back to his tent and rest when he is tired." A general clasped his fists and said.

"You bastard! I searched the entire barracks and couldn't find him!! Let me find him!!" Sima Yun yelled hysterically, his eyes full of panic.

"Yes! The last general takes orders!" Only then did the generals realize the seriousness of the matter. No one knew how they could have fought so smoothly without a military adviser.

"Ridiculous! Absurd!" Sima Yun was so anxious that he couldn't find Bei, he roared angrily and walked away.

The starry sky is bright tonight, who knows the secrets under the dark night?
