Don't be clouded

The news of Duke Xiang's rebellion quickly spread throughout Chenjing, causing panic among the people.

Daliang has managed to maintain stability for 22 years. Now that wars have broken out again, people can't help but suspect that the era of chaos is not over yet, and Daliang is just a short transition.However, no one can predict the future, and there are always more people looking forward to peace, so the secret treasure that the late emperor once obtained in Penglai Xianshan has now become the sustenance of everyone.

The so-called secret treasure will bring peace to the world, most people only hope that the treasure in Xuanqing Temple is as effective as the legend says.

At the same time, the entire girder was waiting for news from the imperial city.There is no way for Penglai Secret Treasure to transform into heavenly soldiers and generals. In the end, someone still has to fight against the rebellion.

In the afternoon of that day, two imperial decrees came out from the palace.

The first way is to order the [-] guards of the Chenjing Southern Army to mobilize [-] troops. General Ningyuan Ji Bieyun will be the commander, General Tang Pan of the Right Guard, and General Shi Rui of the Right Guard Shi Rui will be the deputy generals. In the chaos of the public, the army will be dispatched at Chenshi tomorrow morning.

The second way has nothing to do with this matter, and without reason, ordered the Criminal Department to reopen an old case four years ago, and thoroughly investigate the treason of the Lingzhou captain at that time.

Ignoring the second untimely imperial decree, Quan Chenjing once again cast his eyes on Ji Zhai.

Ji Bieyun himself was not there, he went directly to Youxiaowei's camp after leaving the palace.There were many things to do before the army was dispatched, and he was even more busy as the nominal coach.

Shi Rui didn't express any displeasure when he saw him, and he didn't have any objection to being a lieutenant general.It's just that when there were few people, he pulled him and complained in a low voice: "I'm old, but the war is coming again, I can't help myself... I can't help myself."

Ji Bieyun was originally serious, but after hearing this, his expression relaxed a little, and he replied: "The general still needs to give more guidance on this journey. Logically speaking, I am not qualified to be the coach."

Shi Rui smiled, "There is no question of whether it is qualified or not. There are only six words on the battlefield - don't die, you must win. I was young when I became a general, and my survival depends on hard work. I have accumulated a lot of experience as I grow older, but I can't do what I want when I get older, and I don't know how that guy Wan Liangao is so energetic..."

Do not die?

At that time, Ji Bieyun was quite suitable, but he couldn't forget Guanchen's disappointed eyes in his mind, and he couldn't help but start to cherish his life.He wanted to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, but at the same time he had to take into account his humble and precious life, his mind was in a mess.

But on the surface, he continued to follow the words: "Maybe he is greedy by nature."

"That's right, everyone came together at that time, who doesn't know who?" Shi Rui sneered, "Everyone is a little greedy, but Wan Liangao never shows it, even if the prestige in the army is only under the late emperor There is also no desire to compete. After Daliang was established, there were fewer and fewer battles. This person started to indulge in beauty when he had nothing to do, and he happened to be male. You don’t know, I can smell that kind of smell when I see him many times. He doesn't restrain himself at all from the smell of fat and powder."

Ji Bieyun had a deep understanding of this, and finally understood the origin of the fragrance of powder.

"He didn't have a family? No heirs?" He asked curiously.

Shi Rui shook his head, "I married a woman when I was young, but that woman passed away a few years later without leaving any heirs, and Wan Liangao didn't remarry later. That's why I was very puzzled, even if I boarded the There is no one to take over the throne, so why should he bother? Could it be that he wants to make concessions?"

Ji Bieyun also didn't understand, for some people, is the throne so attractive?

"Wan Liangao may not be normal anymore. Ordinary people can't bear it for so long. Only after the death of the first emperor will he finally stop pretending." Shi Rui lowered his voice when he said this, afraid that the people behind him would hear, "Say something in private If not, this person should have been exterminated long ago.”

He thought of Guan Chen's schemes, and felt even more uncomfortable, he just said: "... raising a tiger is a problem."

Shi Rui walked to the tent, turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "Rest well tonight, and let the soldiers under your hands sleep well. Before the battle, you should worry a lot."

Ji Bieyun couldn't say what he didn't worry about, so he nodded.

It wasn't until Shi Rui entered the tent that he brought out all the worries in his heart, and half of them were related to Guanchen.

Now that the imperial decree has been announced, Guan Chen should understand his choice.

Ji Bieyun didn't know how to face the other party in the future, but when his thoughts changed, he felt that surviving on the battlefield was the most important thing, otherwise he would never see Guan Chen again, and it didn't matter how he faced him.

He returned to his small building in the camp full of thoughts, but first went to the cell where Duan Wenfu was held.

This person has been imprisoned for a long time, and he does not have the demeanor of the former Yushi Zhongcheng, his hair is messy, and his face under the cover has become so thin that his cheeks are sunken, his face is yellow and thin.

Ji Bieyun stood in front of the railing and didn't speak for a long time, Duan Wenfu didn't respond either, he leaned against the wall with his head bowed and his eyes closed.

After a long time, he finally said: "Today, the Holy Spirit issued an imperial decree, ordering the Ministry of Punishments to resume the case of the former Lingzhou captain."

Duan Wenfu opened his eyes, but did not make another move.

"In a short time, the Liu family will be rehabilitated, and you don't have to live here, and you can enter the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice openly." His tone was not fluctuating, as if he was just stating an ordinary thing.

The down-and-out man in the cell laughed twice, his voice even hoarse than before.

"Upright? General Ji is really humorous. You can't find any evidence at all. The evidence of Liu Hongji's treason back then is conclusive, even the late emperor has seen it."

Ji Bieyun didn't know why he was talking nonsense with Duan Wenfu here, he clearly had nothing to say to this person, but the moment he walked here, all the memories of the past came to mind.

He squatted down and looked at the other party, "Wan Liang is proud to rebel."

As expected, he saw the light in Duan Wenfu's eyes burn again in an instant.But he smiled cruelly, and said again: "Do you think you will be saved? Don't worry, he is still far away in Liaozhou, thousands of miles away, and he can't get here at all. And you have no value to him , how could he save you?"

Duan Wenfu finally raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of deep hatred.

"Hate?" He looked directly into those eyes, "You have to thank yourself that you can still hate, at least it won't be boring. Being locked up in this dark place, you have to find something to do to survive, yes Bar?"

Duan Wenfu evoked a sarcastic smile, "Is this how you survived in Shugu City?"

Ji Bieyun didn't give any reaction because of this sentence, those things have long been a part of his body and soul over the years, and they are not worthy of being used as a tool for attack.

"But I'm still alive right now, and you will be beheaded for public display soon." He said calmly, "Before that, I will let someone take good care of you, Duan Zhongcheng."

The last address completely angered Duan Wenfu, the man suddenly crawled towards him, stretching out his hands to the railing, but he couldn't touch him because of the distance.

"Liu Yunjing...you should die with the whole family!" Duan Wenfu roared, "They are all dead, why are you still living in this world, you betrayed them...you should die with them!"

Ji Bieyun couldn't help laughing at this man's crazy appearance, stood up and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes.

"I'm nothing alone, don't worry, when you go to hell, you will be able to see all the people who were killed by you, and they are all waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Duan Wenfu in the prison.

However, after he walked out, he saw Xu Yang standing outside, obviously waiting for him.

After leaving the palace today, he diverted the carriage directly to You Xiaowei camp, so Xu Yang also followed.

Ji Bieyun's real identity has already been known by many people, this time he was not so flustered, he only calmed down after being shocked for a moment.

"Brother Xu, how much have you heard?"

The surrounding area was very quiet, and the other soldiers were all preparing for tomorrow's expedition, so there were only the two of them here.

Xu Yang's expression was a bit complicated, but he restrained himself from asking further questions, and only replied: "Since you said that the Liu family can be rehabilitated."

Ji Bieyun twitched the corner of his mouth, "Brother Xu probably has a lot to ask, let's go in and talk about it."

After entering the room, he poured two cups of tea, and Xu Yang asked behind him: "The edict to reopen the old case inexplicably in the afternoon was written by you, right?"

"Yes." He answered frankly.

"You are actually from the Liu family... You came to Chenjing just to rehabilitate the Liu family?" Xu Yang's tone carried too much disbelief.

Ji Bieyun turned around and handed over a teacup, his tone was much more relaxed than before: "It's an open secret until now, brother Xu, will you think I'm a different person suddenly?"

Xu Yang took the teacup in a daze, took a sip of the tea, and said hesitantly: "You said before that you didn't care whether I still have contact with the palace, but... I have talked with the prince a few days ago, and he said let me go. I am free."

He was a little surprised that Xu Yang brought the topic up to this point, and he was also surprised by the other party's frankness.Even though he always vaguely knew that Xu Yang was still loyal to Prince Xian, and the purpose of coming to Ji Zhai was not completely pure, he never wanted to expose it.

"Why are you talking about this well?" He pretended to be relaxed, "Brother Xu has no freedom now, and he has to be the housekeeper for Ji Zhai for a while."

Xu Yang looked at him, "What I mean is, didn't Duan Wenfu just say that you couldn't find any evidence? You are about to leave Beijing, so you can entrust this matter to me...I will help you find evidence."

Ji Bieyun was stunned.

I didn't know how to react for a while, so I could only hold the teacup blankly, feeling the temperature of the tea getting colder.

It was rare for Xu Yang to be a little nervous in front of him, but when he saw him like this, he suddenly sighed.

"I am not forcing. If you are willing to believe me, I will do my best to help you."

Ji Bieyun finally came to his senses and asked, "Even if you need to go to Lingzhou?"

Xu Yang nodded solemnly, "Of course."

The next day, when the sky was getting dark, the whole city of Chenjing was under martial law.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered in the northern outskirts of the city, and the emperor came to Yanguang Gate in person and led hundreds of officials to practice for the army.

Riding on his horse, Ji Bieyun looked up at the towering city wall.Emperor Yuan Hui stood in the center with a gloomy expression, neither happy nor worried.There were many ministers standing beside him, and among the crowd he saw the monk at a glance.

Guan Chen also came.

He waited for a long time last night, but there was no figure or letter from the monk, let alone a word.

After all, he didn't listen to Guan Chen's words, but after all, Guan Chen didn't forcefully imprison him again, and made concessions in a silent but conniving way.

The armor on his body was heavy, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, but when he saw Guan Chen, his heart was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

He hoped that the other party could show a smile in this short moment, at least to make this farewell not so heavy.But no, the monk just looked at him steadily, even after such a distance, Ji Bieyun was able to confirm that Guanchen's eyes were on him.

Before leaving, he took one last look.

He pulled out a not ugly smile as much as possible, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Wait for me to come back."

Xiaoyun and Guanchen will reconcile in a few chapters, the master's indifference is just an appearance
