At the time when the Juqu family and the Lu family in Zhangye City were constantly at odds, Meng Xun really said to Nancheng: "Lu Tianwang hates his brother's domineering and authoritarian power, and often says behind his back that his brother has a 'reckless look'." Nancheng recently Although he was often troubled by this matter, but he knew that this younger brother was ambitious and difficult to get along with, so he refused to listen to his provocations, and only said: "Our people support the king of heaven to protect him all the way, and the loyalty is well known in the world." Meng Xun He sighed and said: "Brother is benevolent and righteous, but he doesn't know how great his achievements are? My brother always feels panic when he hears Lu Tianwang's complaints in the palace. He is afraid that our Juqu clan will be wiped out like Han Xin of the Han Dynasty—" Repeatedly , Nan Cheng couldn't help but secretly startled, Meng Xun took the opportunity to persuade: "If you don't want to be jealous of the king, why don't you leave Zhangye temporarily to avoid disaster? Lanmen Mountain is the birthplace of our Lushui Huns. Brother can In the name of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, leading troops away from the capital to temporarily avoid the limelight, this can firstly relieve the monarch's suspicion, and secondly, if you keep quiet, you won't lose your elder brother's decent reputation."

Although Nancheng didn't trust Mengxun very much, he listened to his words and watched his actions, as if he was thinking about the survival of their own family, and there was no flaw, so he nodded and agreed: "In that case, you go with me—forget it Even though our Juqu family has been established in Longxi for five generations, but we have never been to Lanmen Mountain to worship our ancestors, it is unfilial to be a descendant." Meng Xun naturally nodded in agreement, but secretly sent Sima Xu Xian into the palace to tell Lu Zuan: " Nancheng wanted to plot rebellion, Xu Zhixiongnu rallied in the old land and attacked Zhangye. If he asks for sacrifices to Lanmen Mountain, the minister's words will be confirmed." Lu Zuan was shocked and received Nancheng's letter the next day, requesting He was allowed to leave Beijing with his troops, and go to Lanmen Mountain to worship his ancestors and tell heaven.

Lu Zuan was also a person who had experienced countless coups. On the surface, he readily agreed, but on the inside, he hurriedly recruited loyal generals and Juqu Mengxun to enter the palace without mentioning secret businessmen.

In September of the same year, Juqu Nancheng led his troops to leave Zhangye for Mount Lanmen, and Juqu Mengxun followed him in the name of taking care of ancestor worship. Sure enough, he took Yao Song with him as promised. Tim Shiji, and the continuous soup and medicine day and night, seemed to take care of him to the bone.

Uncharacteristically, Meng Xun never rode a horse but rode in the same carriage with Yao Song. At this time, in the mist of the mountains, he opened the corner of the curtain and said with a smile: "Look, Zijun, Lanmen Mountain has arrived. I won't lie to you this time. gone."

Yao Song had already put on the half-new mink fur scarf that he used to use, and he coughed lightly from time to time, he just nodded without looking at the outside scenery.Meng Xun had nothing to say: "You grew up in Guanzhong, and it should be the first time you have seen this mountain in Mobei. Why don't you have any interest in watching it?"

"What is there to see? The mountain is not the mountain, and it cares about the heart and ears of the viewer." Yao Song lazily yawned a little, and Meng Xun knew that the sequelae of the medicine had happened again-tired and lethargic, if he didn't make it on time Taking decoction in a fixed amount is like an addiction, and you can't lift your spirits.He first ordered the attendant outside the car to fry the new medicine, and then turned his head and asked with great interest: "Oh? Zi Jun is well-versed in the past and the present, explain what you mean by this?"

Yao Song said calmly: "The same Lanmen Mountain - what I see is the way home, what your elder brother sees is the place where ancestors are worshiped, what you see is the road of the emperor."

Juqu Mengxun withdrew his smile, knowing that Yao Song was determined to go, he never told him frankly about his plans and plans, but a person who was sick because of lingering love said so lightly—— After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Yao Song, I would like to keep you at all costs. You really never thought that one day you will be under one person and over ten thousand?"

Yao Song sniffled, as if he was in low spirits, but he replied weakly: "You can't take away your ambition." Meng Xun said angrily, "Your ambition is to return to Yao Xing's side? With the natural danger of the Yellow River, he won't be able to survive for a few years, at most he will throw the country into battle, and all will be destroyed—what are you trying to do!?" He really didn't understand!Yao Song is supposed to be the same person as him, selfish and selfish, trying his best to pursue everything he wants, but after returning to Qin to assist Yao Xing, what he can get after a hard work is really too little , so little that Yao Song shouldn't have paid for it!

Yao Song's phoenix eyes are half-opened and half-closed, but the light in his eyes seems to imply irony: "It's just a picture of a fox dying on the head of a hill, and acting on behalf of Ma Yifeng-but for General Monson, whether it's family affection or love, They are nothing more than floating clouds, so how can they deal with such top-priority matters as power, fame and fortune, and seeking to usurp the throne?"

Juqu Mengxun was silent for a moment, finally slowed down his expression, and grinned as unintentionally as before: "Okay, since people have their own ambitions, and it's inconvenient to force them, then I'll stop here. I don't even mention it."

The group entered the hinterland of Lanmen Mountain. According to the previous agreement with Yao Xing, people would be arranged near the border to meet them. Meng Xun led a small team to personally escort Yao Song to the eastern foot of Lanmen Mountain.Juqu Nancheng's troops had already set up camp in the mountains, and because Juqu Mengxun had not arrived, they had to wait for him to arrive before starting the ancestor worship ceremony.Unexpectedly, there was no sign of anyone after waiting for most of the day. At night, Nancheng couldn't wait anymore, so he ordered Sima Xuxian to come, so that he could send someone to track down Juqu Mengxun's whereabouts.

After a while, the soldiers reported that Sima Xu Xian was not in the camp.Nan Cheng was stunned for a moment, Sima Xuxian was in charge of offering sacrifices to wine in the army, and he was also in charge of the Lanmen worshiping ancestors, why did he disappear at this time for no reason?He questioned everyone, but it turned out that not long after camping, no one had seen Sima Xuxian again.Nan Cheng frowned and pondered for a moment, then stood up abruptly, lifted the tent and shouted: "Come here, beat the drums, and order the generals in the army to discuss the matter!"

After drumming the three links, only a few people came. Nancheng had never encountered such a thing since he became the head of the family, and he couldn't help being furious: "Where are the rest of the people?!" : "General Mengxun used the lord's order to transfer some troops away, saying that he was going to prepare the place for ancestor worship—" Nancheng was also a veteran of the army. He was shocked at first, but changed his face when he thought about it, and said anxiously: " Order the entire army to immediately dismantle the camp!"

All the generals are Monk Zhang Er, who can't figure it out—since the army is mobilizing people to come here to worship the ancestors with great momentum, why did they break up the camp overnight before it even started?But since the head of the family had this order, everyone had to follow it.Unexpectedly, as soon as the account was released, some soldiers rushed to report in panic: ambush in the mountains!

All the generals were panicked and astonished—in the border of Beiliang, who would dare to attack Juqu Nancheng's soldiers! ?After a while, someone reported that the invading army was fighting Wang Qi!All over the mountains and plains, they came out from the shadows and surrounded their brightly lit camp!

Nan Cheng staggered slightly, and finally stabilized his figure, the premonition of panic in his heart was finally confirmed!It's Lu Zuan's army!I don't know how long I have been lying in ambush in the mountains, just waiting for him to throw himself into the trap!He fell into a trap that could never be recovered!

The sound of killing has been faintly heard from all directions, accompanied by the cry of "Men are plotting rebellion, order to quell chaos" from time to time.The shadows of swords, swords, and open flames of blood also swayed vividly, and even intensified.The soldiers of the Juqu Army were caught off guard and killed by surprise, and many of them became ghosts under the sword before they woke up.

"My lord, please order the three armies to fight!" Seeing that Nan Cheng was still in a daze, one of the generals under his command hurriedly said, "The enemy is dark and we are clear. Our army has lost the opportunity. If we delay the opportunity again, we will have nothing to do!"

"Yes, my lord! They came prepared, we are strong and brave, and maybe we can escort the lord to fight a bloody road!"

"We don't want to risk our lives to ensure that the lord breaks out safely!"

Juqu Nancheng suddenly came back to his senses - Lu Zuan was clearly trying his best to deal with him this time, there might be tens of thousands of ambush soldiers! "Slay a bloody path" "Desperate to keep the lord safe alone" Of course he believed it!But it can only save his life!Lu Zuanxing's excuse for questioning the crime was that he supported the army for rebellion. If he really resisted and even fought and confronted him, then he would be convicted of the crime of forcing him!At that time, the family prestige and prestige accumulated by the Juqu family will be wiped out in one day, and they will become rebellious officials and thieves that everyone can punish!The relatives and disciples who are still in Zhangye and cannot escape will also suffer disaster!

Nan Cheng managed to regain his composure, and said with difficulty: "Put down your weapon, there is no need to resist."

"My lord!" Everyone thought that Nancheng was crazy - he had killed all the way to the door, but he wanted the three armies to disarm and admit defeat in vain? !They clearly still have the strength to fight, the big deal is that they will die and die together!

"Order the three armies, there is no need to resist!" Juqu Nancheng suddenly raised his head and yelled violently, "I, Juqu Nan, became the Lu family and devoted myself to loyalty—a lesson from heaven and earth! I don't believe that Lu Tianwang will accuse me of treason without evidence. Condemn me to death! I want to defend myself before the Holy Spirit!"

As if feeling something in his heart, Meng Xun suddenly reined in his horse and looked into the depths of the dark mountain shadow at night.

Yao Song also changed his mount and followed behind him, now he followed his gaze and looked back.Meng Xun came back to his senses and twitched the corner of his mouth unnaturally: "Out of this valley is the border of Huaiyuan. According to the secret letter, we will escort you across the valley, and the people sent by the Later Qin Dynasty are outside the valley. waiting.

Yao Song cupped his whip and raised his hands into fists: "In this case, I would like to thank General Mengxun for keeping his word. Zijun hereby wishes the general a great success." With a smile on his face, Mengxun waved his hand lightly, Made a "please" gesture.Yao Song took the horse's head and entered the valley first.

Due to the narrow aisle in the valley, a group of people dispersed and fished into the valley.In the dead of night, only the sound of whirling leaves and trampling horseshoes in the valley, Yao Song subconsciously looked at the surrounding scenery under the dim light of the torch as he walked—even in the dark night, he could see the scenery of the eastern foot of Lanmen Mountain. The terrain of this valley is steep, with steep rock walls on both sides. Once entering the valley, there is a dilemma. It is an excellent place for defense.But at this moment, the torches in the hands of an accompanying soldier accidentally fell to the ground, causing a small commotion immediately. The already very orderly team inevitably crowded, and the already narrow passage immediately became congested.Juqu Mengxun hurriedly led the horse over and cursed in a low voice: "What are you panicking, just click!"

Yao Song looked at the soldiers not far away from him in the hazy night, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of weapons clanging behind his ears. Before he ran down to the mountain wall, he narrowly avoided a sudden flash of a knife—the next moment the torch was lit again, and in front of him was already surrounded by layers of black-clothed warriors who drew their swords.

Juqu Mengxun stood outside the human wall and looked at him coldly: "Yao Song, I gave you a chance on the way-asked you if you would stay and help me-it's a pity that you yourself refused the last offer. Vitality! It's a pity, Yao Song, I dare not go back to the mountain."

Yao Song looked at these pre-ambushed soldiers with rolling eyes, and smiled lightly: "Let your men wear black clothes and cover their faces to hide their identities, so that even if I die accidentally, it can be presumed that I died at the hands of bandits. My imperial brother is on a mission——Juqu Mengxun, whether it is against your elder brother or me, you can be cruel, you really are a real hero."

"If you want to achieve great things, you can kill your closest relatives!" A ruthless look flashed in Meng Xun's eyes, "Whether it's you or Ren Zhen, if you're less than this ruthless—you're destined not to be a king!"

Yao Song laughed suddenly when he heard the words, shook his head and sighed, "Don't compare yourself to him."

Furious, Juqu Mengxun drew his knife out of its sheath with a whoosh, and growled, "I knew you were old acquaintances a long time ago. It was because you interfered in the incident in Guzang that I didn't capture him alive in the end!" If he could be captured alive then Yan Emperor Murong Chong, history will be rewritten!Why did he waste all these troubles!

Yao Song raised the corners of his lips, gorgeous and unparalleled: "I forgot to tell you, I was the one who started the incident in Guzang, and I was the one who secretly tipped Fu Jian's golden cicada out of its shell and survived—so I already knew that you supported Lu Zuan as a The Lord cannot sit firmly in the country, so he can only separate and retreat!"

Juqu Mengxun was startled, and the vague speculations and worries in his heart had become reality: in the past two years, there have been frequent civil wars in Longxi, the disintegration of the Lu family, and even the division of Liangzhou from north to south is all due to Yao Song's own efforts!

He was terrified, and he couldn't help raising his knife and shouted: "Okay! Yao Song, you are indeed the best in the world! It's just that you have worked so hard to plan for the expansion of Houqin Neng's territory and annexation of Beiliang, but your brother Yao Xing is really useless and was beaten by Xiyan. With me, Beiliang and Houqin, it is still unknown who will swallow up who! It's a pity that you will never be able to return to China, and you will see Yao Xing's final end for yourself!"

Yao Song blinked, shook his head and said with a smile, "Mengxun. Since I can count every move you make, how can I believe that you will keep your promise and let me go back to China this time?"

As soon as the words fell, Meng Xun suddenly heard the sound of strings breaking through the air above his head. It was too late and then quickly, a soldier beside him screamed and fell off his horse, and was firmly held by a feather arrow that shot down quickly. nailed to the ground.

Everyone was terrified, and Meng Xun was also secretly startled. Holding up the torch and looking up, he froze in place dumbfounded.

I saw layers of human figures densely appearing on the top of the two walls of the valley at an unknown time, and all of them drew their bows and arrows, aiming at them condescendingly.

The night wind was blowing, but it couldn't shake the turbulent atmosphere at this time. Meng Xun led people to surround Yao Song, but he couldn't fly with his wings, and a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead.

After a long while, it was still Yao Song who took the lead and said relaxedly: "I knew you would not let me go, and I secretly informed General Di Bozhi to set up defenses on the top of the mountain to wait for you. There are still thousands of soldiers at the pass outside the valley, I forgive you Can't rush through."

Meng Xun sneered and said, "Xiaohou Yao really has no plans to spare. But don't forget that you are also in the valley. Could it be that your General Di will not even care about your life in order to kill me?"

"Why not?" Yao Song took the time off and smiled like a fox, "If the general insists on not letting me go and withdraws from this valley, I will go to the underworld with the general!"

Monson snorted snortly, and Yao Song raised his eyebrows and said, "General, don't you believe me? The general has secretly made me take chronic poison for several months in the name of healing illnesses, which will make people hallucinogenic and addictive. If you don’t know the seriousness, you may die—anyway, Zijun’s death will not be long, and it’s worth putting you on the bottom of the corpse!”

Meng Xun took a step back, his heart was already timid - he didn't expect Yao Song to know!Knowing that it was poison or pretending not to know, he drank it just to paralyze him!Just to return to Yao Xing's side? !He gritted his teeth and said: "Yao Song, don't be complacent. Now that I'm close to you, I can make you bloody five steps away! You have many people, and I have many people. If you don't fight, how will you know who will win? "

As soon as this remark came out, Yao Song knew that Meng Xun was already thinking of retreating, and he was just talking harshly, so he casually threw away his weapon and said, "The life of the general is worth more than Zi Jun, why bother to burn everything? Is Lanmen Mountain not just for my life? At this time, I am afraid that Lu Zuan's army and Juqu's army have already fought - although you have a well-planned plan, Juqu's men are not reckless and mediocre, and the two armies are fighting. The outcome is hard to predict, if General Mengxun leads his troops back to step in at this time, the big thing will be settled. Why waste time here for a dying person like me?"

Meng Xun's expression changed, and after a long time, he finally let go: "If I let you go, if you repent and kill me from behind, so what?!"

Yao Song sneered in his heart: this Juqu Mengxun is suspicious by nature, and feels that everyone is just like him, unscrupulous and dishonest.But he didn't say anything, rolled his eyes, and said bluntly: "If Lu Zuan is incompetent besides you, Beiliang will soon be destroyed by Fu Jian, and Houqin will suffer enemies from both sides. For Houqin, Beiliang is the best become a buffer zone between the two countries."

If Yao Song tried to explain how he kept his promise, Meng Xun would not believe it, and this eloquent and lotus explanation had really deceived Meng Xun, but he secretly thought in his heart with jealousy and hatred—why is Yao Song willing to support Yao Xing? Jiangshan is so exhausted, but he can only fight for his king's hegemony alone!

At this moment, he had no time to think about it.Yao Song asked him a multiple-choice question, but there was only one answer.

Yao Song stood on the spot, watching Juqu Mengxun lead his subordinates to turn around slowly, exit the valley, and disappear into the mist of night, then staggered slightly, and fell back against the cold mountain wall, already sweating It's like a slurry, and the whole body is exhausted.

Di Bozhi was still in Huaiyuan, so he had no time to come here.The army outside the valley is actually something he created out of nothing, even the ambush and arrow array on the cliff was a bluff, he hastily mobilized only a hundred or so post-Qin soldiers stationed near Lanmen, and the others were all standing up under the cover of night to make up for it Straw man——Fortunately, Juqu Mengxun is used to selfishness, otherwise, if he really wants to kill him and then hurry up, then he will not escape death no matter what, then all the hard work and endurance he has so far will be wiped out All turned to the east!

Fortunately, the sky will not kill him...Yao Song smiled absentmindedly. Not long ago, he himself began to believe in the theory of strange gods.At this time, the small army ambushing on the cliff had just come down the mountain to respond one after another. In the dark night, Yao Song got on his horse and ordered in a low voice: "Go at full speed and leave this place as soon as possible."

The road ahead is vast and still dark—what awaits him is by no means a bright and smooth road.

Juqu Mengxun weighed it over and over again, so he had no choice but to let Yao Song go. As soon as he returned to the belly of Lanmen Mountain, his cronies reported that the Juqu army had not resisted on a large scale, and the confrontation between the two armies was over in less than half an hour.Juqu Nancheng was captured alive and forced into the army to meet Lu Zuan.Hearing this, Meng Xun couldn't help but stumbled and said anxiously: "I've been fooled by Yao Song again!" What "the outcome of the battle between the two armies is really unpredictable"-in fact, he planned carefully, and Lu Zuan's victory should be sure, while he I don't need to come forward at all, or even turn back to join the battle!Yao Song took advantage of his suspicious nature, and before he left, he had to give him another one!

Sima Xu Xian had already heard the news and came to join him, now he frowned and said, "Ju Qu Nan Cheng still has the power to fight, how could he surrender so easily?"

Meng Xun also knew that this was not the time for remorse, so he calmed down, and he snorted coldly—he knew this brother who had been with him for more than ten years too well: "Because until now, he still has illusions about Lu Zuan——" Brother, you are here today because you are too pedantic.

Sima Xuxian said: "Then if Lu Zuan believed his defense, he would know that it was the general's secret plan. Shouldn't we act first?"

Meng Xun shook his head with a sneer, and turned to order: "Investigate again. Report as soon as you have any news." He sat down in the tent and closed the door to rest.

Sure enough, before a cup of tea, there was another news: It turned out that Juqu Nan Cheng Wuhuada met Lu Zuan, knelt down and wept, and said: "Meng Xun wanted to separate the monarch and his ministers, and he had already sued him many times. The minister, because of his brother, forbears it." Don't say anything. However, he and his minister Keqi offered sacrifices to the mountain, but they returned false accusations against each other. His heart can be punished! Your majesty, the minister is so loyal and courageous, the world can learn from it! If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can lie and say that the minister is dead, and say that the minister is guilty, and Meng Xun If you must be rebellious, the minister throws his hands at him to challenge him, and everything will be successful!"

Lu Zuan refused to obey, but ordered Komodo to strangle him to death.When Juqu Nancheng was about to die, he stared and said in grief and indignation: "If the minister dies, Meng Xun will die at night! The minister is waiting for your majesty in Huangquan!"

Hearing this, Meng Xun breathed out a long and silent breath just now—it is also true that it is not a day's cold to be frozen three feet.Lu Zuan is self-willed, and has always been afraid that men will be in charge of military power. How could he be moved by these few words?He opened his eyes to look at Sima Xuxian, and said calmly: "Sir, what should be the next step?"

Sima Xuxian also let go of the big stone in his heart, stood up and bowed to the end: "My lord was loyal to the Lu family but was slaughtered, how can it not be heart-piercing?! The next step is naturally to call the Juqu tribe to denounce the Lu family and avenge him gone."

Meng Xun nodded slowly, looking at the faint glow of the sky, the ten years of living together with Nan Cheng in Longzhou seemed to be in front of him, but it was fleeting.He thought calmly in his heart: Brother, don't blame me.You died for the Juqu Clan, and I was born for the Juqu Clan—the family business you have guarded for more than ten years should be handed over to someone more suitable to take charge of it.
