After dressing as a sick and weak villain

"Where is Your Highness going?" Xiao Xizi followed Jiang Yanchi, "It's so late, the palace gates are closed..."

"The gates of the city are closed tightly. If anyone dares to let Xu Changling out, I will take his head off. Let Commander Zhou detain him, and ask him to write a letter to go to Puyang County overnight." The prince said in a low voice, and handed a jade plaque to Xiao Xizi, "I'm going to visit the Zhao family."

"What is Your Highness doing at the Zhao family at this late hour?" Xiao Xizi took the jade card, the crown prince hasn't had a good rest in the last half a month, "If there is something to do, just teach someone to call the Duke into the palace, why bother His Highness to run in person one trip."

"It's too late." The prince stepped onto the horse and rode Juechen towards the palace gate.

must be fast enough.

Zhao Yu did not expect two distinguished guests to come one after another in the middle of the night.When the crown prince entered the door, he was taken aback when he saw Taifu Su, who was seated above him, "Teacher Su is very well informed."

"What's your Highness going to do?" Su Mingan calmly said, "I don't think Xu Yi will really stop acting rashly if he suppresses Xu Changling."

"Nowadays there is a war in the northwest, and most of the troops of the Xu family's Changming army are huddled in the northern border. After resisting for a while in Xijing, they let go of the pass deep into the hinterland. Hu Bing went all the way south, and now he is approaching Huaiqi County. For the soldiers of the Xu family , Your Highness, is it tuned or not." Zhao Yu asked eagerly, bent his fingers, and tapped on the table.

If there is no adjustment, the Northern Huns are afraid that they will break the two counties of Huaiqi and Puyang, and they will go straight to the capital.

Xu Yi had enough reason to send his troops south to Beijing.

Although it was Jiang Yanchi who instigated Hu Bing to pacify the civil strife, but now that old thief in Xu Yi is using his strength to fight, it puts the prince in a dilemma.

"There is another way." Su Taifu said, "Give up on going to Beijing. Move the capital and then go south. Let's wait for a while. What does your Highness think?"

Let's see, we can move the capital to the south.

Could it be that it is more ruthless to test who has the determination to burn jade and stone together?

If the upper capital is handed over to others, everything will be irreversible.He and Xu Yi are in a stalemate, and it will only benefit Northern Hungary.

After all, he should abandon Shangjing and continue to go south to linger on his last breath and wait for a good opportunity.We should try our best to hold on to Shangjing.

Seeing his silence, Zhao Yu also looked embarrassed, "Your Highness, it is better for us to move the capital, and this matter should be done as soon as possible..."

"Do not move the capital."

Jiang Yanchi clenched his hands tightly, "Prince Ningyuan's soldiers, allocate [-] to the eldest son of Puyang County, Jiang Silan."

"Your Highness!" Zhao Yu made a fuss and frowned, "How can Puyang County be given military power right now? It is already in an important place, and Xu Yi still..."

Su Ming'an didn't make a sound, he just waved his hand to signal the prince to continue.

"Jiang Silan is a loyal and brave man. His father is cowardly and has not completely united with Xu Yi. He may not be willing. Beixiong is about to hit him. He has lived in Puyang County for more than 20 years. Just take it as my bet that he will not I would like to abandon Puyang County."

"As long as I don't let Xu Yi go south, he's just a paper tiger. In fact, he can't restrain the father and son of Yubei Wang very much. He can intimidate and lure me, so can I. Don't leave in a hurry, or you will be defeated like a mountain. Let Xu Yi Totally took the lead..."

Zhao Yu and Su Ming'an exchanged glances.

Then he got up and said: "Since Your Highness is allowed to advance but not to retreat, then I have another suggestion."

"Say."

"The middle base of Huaiqi County in the west of the central border is a distant relative of my Zhao family. The small character is Lingqu. Although his military rank is low, he is a man of strategy and can fight. Why don't His Highness command 20 troops in the west..."

The Zhao family actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to gain military power on the border.

Although it can indeed solve the urgent need, the prince's face is still dark, "Okay, 15 to Jiang Silan, [-]—to Zhao Lingqu from your Zhao family." Jiang Yanchi put his hands on the tassels on his waist Up, rubbing his fingertips constantly, "But I want him to issue a military order. If Beixiong cannot be stopped outside Huaiqi County, I want him and the heads of his close relatives."

Zhao Yu's frown never relaxed.

Seeing the crown prince's refusing eyes, he finally could only agree, "Okay. Our Zhao family will accept this matter."

After the prince left.Su Mingan, who has always been taciturn, sat down for a long time, only eating refreshments.

"Actually, even if there is no such decree, Ling Qu can still take advantage of the chaos to seize military power when he reaches Huaiqi County. Why do you have to beat the prince like this..."

Su Mingan shook his head, "This is not a beating, but a temptation. In the past, the big things were conspiring with Chu Xie and tearing them apart. Naturally, he can figure out the way of Xie. Now this is the same for the prince. If you don't try it, how can you see it clearly?" His way."

"The old man Xu Yi is half buried in the ground, but his heart is very wild. Besides, don't you think he is too ridiculous?"

"How ridiculous."

Zhao Yu pondered, "23 years ago, the crown prince was benevolent, but he had to push a ruthless Emperor Xuanhe to succeed him. Now, the crown prince is ruthless, and he has to protect a benevolent king."

Su Mingan smiled.

Looking at the full moon in Shangjing, "People in Shangjing have always been capricious."

"Actually, this little prince is quite pitiful. In my opinion, he didn't really want to be this prince... In the end, he couldn't help himself."

"He deserves it if he doesn't want to. Even if what we planned doesn't work out in the end, I want half of the blood of the Yue clan to flow in every bloodline of the Jiang clan from now on."

Boom, boom, boom.

Wow, the wine in Zhao Yu's hand spilled all over the table, dripping to the ground, and the room was instantly full of the aroma of wine.

Zhao Yu saw his grandson stumbling in, "Grandpa, did you hear—"

Boom, boom, boom...

Zhao Yu motioned for silence, and carefully counted the bells in the imperial city.

32 times, a total of 32 times were struck.It heralds the arrival of the national mourning.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Zhao Xuan was so panicked that he staggered to step in.

"It's Your Majesty who died!"

How could it be such a coincidence that at this moment, the emperor who happened to be seriously ill died.

Su Mingan's expression changed immediately, and he stepped on the futon cushion under his feet and stood up, "Zhou Wen! It's Zhou Wen!"

"What happened to Commander Zhou?"

"Jiang Yanchi closed the city gate not at all to prevent Xu Changling from leaving the city, but to hide the national funeral! Zhou Wen, as the commander of the imperial army, must know Jiang Yanchi's plan...Xu Changling is an idiot who only knows about wine and meat. He will replace half of your Zhao family. The power of the Imperial City has been directed against the over-powerful Xu family, but no one has noticed that the power of the Imperial City has fallen into the hands of Zhou Wen alone!"

The hairs on the back of Zhao Yu's hands stood upright. What Taifu Su meant was that the crown prince now holds the power of the Imperial Army. The emperor's death was not an accident, but he killed his father and usurped the throne.

Zhao Xuan couldn't imagine that the teenage Jiang Yanchi would really dare to do such a rebellious thing.

"No matter how fierce the soldiers are fighting outside, it doesn't matter how messy it is. Now Shangjing City is firmly controlled by Jiang Yanchi. He doesn't trust the Zhao family at all, and he doesn't trust me either!"

After the death knell stopped, the entire city of Shangjing fell into a terrible silence.

Only the people of the forbidden army guarded the gates of the four cities and patrolled them all night.

***

Puyang County.

"The crown prince ordered that Xu's soldiers be sent south?" Yubei County King looked at the handwritten letter from the capital, and observed the face of Xu Yi who was reading the handwritten letter.

After a while, Xu Yi said, "No, he detained my grandson Xu Changling."

"...This!" Yubei County King panicked. Sure enough, the crown prince was about to be hard-pressed. Right now, he could attack both sides. I'm afraid he would offend both sides.

"He gave the son [-] military power." Xu Yi read the secret letter from the pigeon in his sleeve, and threw it into the arms of King Yubei, "What does the king think of it?"

The king of Yubei suddenly felt guilty.

Could it be that the crown prince gave him [-] troops to stabilize him because he secretly reported to Shangjing.

"Father, His Highness trusts us." The eldest son Jiang Silan took it over and said, "Xu Houye said that the prince is a ruthless person, but I think he still has the common people in his heart. At least, he didn't give up. When I went to the capital, I did not choose to die with Master Xu."

Jiang Silan looked at Xu Yi, "Master Hou, you're right, Da Wei can't bear to consume now, but if the price of making Si Lan the crown prince is also to consume, then wouldn't it be meaningless to bring the crown prince down from the high position?" gone."

"But in any coup d'etat, there is no bloodshed. Our plan is long-term..."

Jiang Silan didn't seem to agree.

"What does Hou Ye value Si Lan? If Si Lan is really the kind of person who can give up the entire Puyang County for the throne, will Hou Ye still protect me as the prince? This is a paradox... Hou Ye, please forgive me for speaking bluntly ——I don't really want to be a prince, nor do I want to enter the capital."

"Actually, once I am pushed to that position, I don't know what kind of person I will become... It may be my best destination to stay in Puyang County for the rest of my life." Jiang Silan sealed the two seals in her hand. The letter was torn.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me [-] military power. I don't care why he gave it to me. But I will definitely use this military power to defend Puyang County and protect my family from the torment of the war."

short-sighted!

Xu Yi was furious and said nothing, then looked at the King of Yubei: "You think so too?! Do you think the crown prince will really let you go!"

"Let's not let it go, since I have the ability, I must protect Puyang."

Jiang Silan has made up her mind.

"You want to protect Puyang County! Then do you want to protect the world! When Emperor Xuanhe succeeded to the throne, killed loyal ministers, wronged generals, and caused so many bloody storms, what's the use of keeping Puyang County? Half of Jiang Yanchi's blood is Yue. He was brought up by Princess Yueshi, how do you know that he won't be full of resentment and only hope that the Great Wei will perish soon!"

"Brother..." Jiang Ruxue, who was woken up, rubbed her eyes and called him softly outside, "Are you two arguing..."

"No, Axue, you go to sleep." Jiang Silan went to coax her sister away, then slowed down her voice, and looked at Xu Houye calmly, "Hou Ye, if you really think that Emperor Xuanhe is such a Cruel and heartless emperor, then at the beginning, what kind of expectations did you have to push him to the throne?"

"You want to push me to that position with the same expectation now, how do you know if you will regret it in the future." Jiang Silan's eyes are full of regret, "The people who guard the frontier don't guard the frontier, but they don't seek political power while in their position. , and regardless of whether the prince is a good prince or not, Lord Hou must not be the prince that Wei really needs."

"Lan'er!"

These words are very outrageous, the king of Yubei's face is not very good-looking, the person in front of him is Xu Yi, the prince of the three dynasties who now holds half of the military power in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Could it be that he, a hairy child, can easily put his beak on it.

"Jiang Silan, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Xu Yi didn't do any more persuasion, "If you make it against you, you have to make it, if you don't make it, you have to make it! It's up to you!"

In order to prevent accidents, a secret order was sent to the northern border, so that the eldest son Li Chengjin, who had been dormant in Nagano County, was ready to take action, and sent his troops south without waiting for the prince's order.

This obvious treason is already on the surface.

Xu Yi is determined to rebel.

As soon as the secret letter was sent out, there was an urgent report from outside the city that the soldiers of Northern Huns had taken four counties all the way west, and now they are setting up camp outside Huaiqi County, only a hundred miles away from Puyang.

At the same time, Xu Chunmu, who was recuperating in a small village in the valley of Huaiqi County, lived an unprecedentedly comfortable life in this war-torn town.Chu Xie had nothing else to do, so he bought a few scrolls of calligraphy and paintings with the only money he had, and imitated the original works of his ancestors in exchange for some money to buy medicine.

It's a pity that no one bought it after squatting for a day.Chu Xie had some evil thoughts, and found a man who looked like an official and gentry, and came back with a money bag.

Thinking about the pleasure of spending a lot of money in the past, and counting the few copper coins in his hand now, Chu Xie sighed.

After finally getting some money, at least I paid for the medicine on credit first, "Man, give me the best medicine." Then I went to the teahouse to inquire about some things.

On the way back, I bought some food for Xu Chunmu, went back to the cheap inn and said, "Eat quickly, I sold two paintings today, and I have all the money for the past three days."

Xu Chunmu nodded. Unexpectedly, the people in this small town were quite knowledgeable. He took the bag of dry food, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I heard from outside that there is going to be a war here soon." Chu Xie raised his mouth inadvertently. Xu Chunmu is a professional in this area. He wants to hear his analysis of the current military situation. "What do you think?"

Xu Chunmu just peeled off the greased paper, the hot and oily pancake didn't match Xu Chunmu's cold face at all, he didn't mind taking a bite, "If both Huaiqi County and Puyang County, the gateway to Zhongjing, fall, I'm afraid Shangjing will not be able to keep it." gone."

"It's my grandfather who is forcing His Royal Highness to transfer my Xu family's soldiers to the south to defend against foreign enemies."

"Have you heard of Zhao Lingqu?"

Chu Xie asked suddenly.

"Have not heard."

"I heard that His Royal Highness promoted him to the rank of lieutenant-general three times in a row, allocated 15 soldiers and horses to him, and ordered him to issue a military order to guard Huaiqi County." Chu Xie pointed at the cake, "I finished the last two bites."

Xu Chunmu let out a "hmm".He has never liked oil pancakes, so he ate them up, and then took the handkerchief beside the bed to wipe his slender, fair fingers, "Huaiqi County has many mountains and complex terrain, but unfortunately there is no danger, easy to attack and difficult to defend. I'm afraid This Vice-General Zhao has to come to see him."

Chu Xie asked again: "If you help him. Xu Chunmu, can you win this battle?"

As if he didn't expect him to ask this question.

Xu Chunmu's eyes gradually became suspicious, "We...are not going to live in seclusion. Are you still thinking about going to the capital?"

"If we leave like this, His Royal Highness will be surrounded by enemies. I can't leave him alone like this, Xu Chunmu, in this way, you and I don't have to reveal our identities. You first tell me how to fight this battle, and I will discuss it with Vice General Zhao. We blocked Beixiong from Huaiqi County as compensation to the crown prince."

"Make up for it?" Xu Chunmu was even more puzzled, "What do you owe him? You helped him to be the crown prince, but he repaid you with kindness and revenge. How can you make up for it..."

It's too complicated to explain clearly.

Chu Xie pulled Xu Chunmu's collar a little to check his injury, saw that the dark scar no longer oozes blood and festers, and has a tendency to heal, he exhaled, and said concisely, "You won this battle, let Jiang Yanchi No longer restrained by Xu Yi. After the matter is completed, we will leave together and never care about the affairs of the capital, okay?"

If they lived in seclusion together, they could properly protect Xu Chunmu, which would be a bright road.

"Did the completion of the last plot come out?" Chu Xie opened the system.

"The completion of the plot is +3, the current plot unlocking rate is 88%, and it is still 2% away from unlocking all the plots. Keep up the good work of the host!"

Keep working hard, one by one is harder than the other!It's all a storyline!Just right, although it was a mistake, since Xu Chunmu offered to live in seclusion, he simply dragged him to live in seclusion.

Escaping from the entanglement of Shangjing City will definitely avoid death.

Xu Chunmu didn't know what was going on in his mind, but when he heard what he said, he was silent for a moment, and then agreed.

"Okay, I'll try my best to see if I can keep Huaisaki County."

****

"You said, you can save Huaiqi County for me."

This was the first time Chu Xie saw this lieutenant general named Zhao Lingqu. He saw him with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tough outline, in his early 20s, as old as Xu Chunmu, with a tall, straight and dashing figure.

Different from Xu Chunmu's exquisite beauty, it is very bright and sunny.

He has the temperament of a little general.

"Yes, I can help you guard Huaiqi County, and I can also keep your family's heads." The black robe covered half of his face, Zhao Lingqu lowered his head slightly, and his light flashed slightly after seeing his appearance clearly , and soon fell into the eyes again.

"Oh, then tell me and listen."

"Lieutenant General!" The entourage beside him stopped him from coming forward, but he was stopped by him alone.

"Just listen, it's okay."

Chu Xie didn't expect him to be so friendly and easy to talk, and he didn't even have time to use many of the good words he had met before.Although this Deputy General Zhao had been hiding in such a remote village in obscurity as an inconspicuous little officer before, he was very familiar with the terrain in both the Northwest and Northwest Territories. Chu Xie only needed a little introduction, and he was able to get through.

Chu Xie pointed to a part of the sheepskin scroll, and repeated what Xu Chunmu said without saying a word: "This is the only commanding height in this terrain, you must hide your hands here, at least [-] people. After the cavalry disperses, the main force will go to the southwest, and the location of the mountain here can delay the time of this cavalry, and besiege it first..."

Vice General Zhao listened very carefully.

"I remember, there is really nothing that is not a coincidence, the tricks of using soldiers, and the tricks of mind. I didn't expect that there would be such a noble person who is proficient in the art of war here." Deputy General Zhao bowed to Chu Xie to thank him, "It really is Zhao some luck."

Zhao.

This person was able to advance to the third level at this delicate juncture, could it be that he has something to do with the Zhao family in Shangjing.

"Do you recognize Zhao Xuan from the capital, Zhao Xiaoshi?"

The man smiled heartily, "But the young prince of the Duke's mansion? Seeing that he has met twice, he is a distant relative. However, there is not much relationship. Otherwise, he can't stay in the house for more than [-] years. Such a small place can’t be promoted, isn’t it…”

It makes sense.

Vice General Zhao honored him as a military adviser and left him to sleep here overnight.Chu Xie thought that Xu Chunmu was still injured, so he declined a few words.

Two days later, Zhao Lingqu really used 15 soldiers and horses to resist the 25 soldiers of the Northern Huns in this easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend place.

The [-] soldiers and horses in Puyang County didn't even have time to be effective, and the soldiers and horses were contained a hundred miles away, unable to advance a step.

The good news went straight to Shangjing, and then to Puyang County.

And the Xu family's soldiers and horses also went south, approaching Puyang, and in two days they would reach Shangjing directly.

Chu Xie stayed in the barracks for the last afternoon, and the matter was settled.Jiang Yanchi's crown prince is at least [-]% to [-]% sure.

"My lord, why don't you drink?" A soldier poured a full glass of wine for Chu Xie.

"I don't drink."

"Haha, well-educated, I don't know how to read so many tactics..."

"Master Chu, drink some wine, don't you plan to leave tomorrow. It can also be regarded as warming up."

Chu Xie looked at the bowl of sake in front of him and fell into deep thought.

If Xu Yi's rebellion fails this time, I don't know what Jiang Yanchi will do to the Xu family.

Xu Yi's own death is not a pity, but what about Xu Chunmu, will he watch Xu Yi be executed.

Is the so-called seclusion really possible?

Already a player in the game, if one hair can move the whole body, can he really get out so easily?

Thinking of this, he picked up the [-] wines in front of him, and the spicy aroma came out, and Chu Xie was about to take a sip.

Suddenly his face changed.

"I remembered something happened at home, Vice General Zhao, I have to leave now. I will come back tomorrow to bid farewell to the Vice General, and I will definitely drink three cups!" Chu Xie raised the corners of his mouth, and gave a military salute looking at their appearance.

Zhao Lingqu smiled brightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow!"

The moment Chu Xie turned around, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared.

Just now Zhao Lingqu called him Lord Chu.

"My lord, you forgot to bring something." Deputy General Zhao handed over the fallen robe, and tied it on him very kindly, "I'll give it to you."

Chu Xie could still smell the faint smell of blood on this person.

"No, we don't live too far away."

When going down the tower, Chu Xie turned his head and saw Zhao Lingqu waving goodbye to him from a distance.

Sunset West Mountain.

Chu Xie couldn't hear well, but he also faintly noticed that there was someone following behind him.He didn't dare to go back to the inn directly, for fear that Xu Chunmu, who was still injured, would be involved.

But the sound of hooves was getting closer.

When he was about to catch up, Chu Xie was frightened with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and immediately threw the dagger in his hand, but his wrist was gently clasped. He saw Xu Chunmu's face close at hand: "Axie, what's wrong with you?"

"You, it's you..."

"I see that you haven't come back, so I came to pick you up. What's the matter, why are you sweating so much?"

Chu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, supported Xu Chunmu and said, "Hurry up, we must leave this place immediately..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Guan vigorously overturned him and rolled him to the ground. Xu Chunmu hugged him and rolled him into the grass beside him, only then did he see a black shadow flashing past on the official road through the forest.

Xu Chunmu pressed him down to hide, covered Chu Xie's mouth, and motioned him to slow down his breathing.

The black shadow gradually approached, it was Zhao Lingqu, the upstart who had taken over 15 troops in the Western Territory.

Chu Xie's pupils suddenly dilated.

In his hand, he was holding an extremely beautiful red-tasseled flying cloud gun, and there was still blood on it, which was especially glaring in the dim setting sun.

"Don't hide."

The stern voice echoed in the forest, "Chu Xie."

A horse came galloping from a distance, and there was an urgent report: "Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General! There is news from the upper capital that His Majesty has passed away, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has succeeded to the throne as the new emperor!"
