Qinghe

In the blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival, and the taste of the New Year will fade after this day.The weather in Mobei is still so cold. It may take a few more months to wait for the spring breeze.

When Qi Yue found Ji Qinghe, he was sitting in an open space in the barracks, staring at the dark night sky in a daze. Pour yourself to drink.

"The temperature in Mobei is low at night, so it's easy to get sick, go back early!" A reproachful voice sounded behind him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know who it was.

Ji Qinghe didn't get up, he glanced at him, patted the open space beside him, and said, "Sit!"

Qi Yue didn't say much, just sat down on the open space, took the jug in his hand, and took a sip.

"The general is still injured, so he shouldn't be drinking." Then he snatched the jug back.

"In a bad mood? Can you tell me?"

"I miss my master a little. I haven't seen his old man since I left the mountain, and I don't know where he is now. In the past six months, like a dream, I thought several times that I wouldn't see him the next day. The sun, however, survived by luck, maybe his life should not die!"

After finishing the words, he took a few mouthfuls from the flagon again, with a melancholy expression.Qi Yue had never seen such a Ji Qinghe, his low and lonely mood seemed contagious, and even made his heart ache.

"In the future, what are your plans?"

"Idle clouds and wild cranes, detached from the world; retreat to Taoyuan, regardless of age."

"That's fine, you can be at ease."

"What? The general wants to farm and pick mulberries with me?"

"Why not?"

"You are the general of our Dayang people. You carry the responsibility and mission of the whole Dayang on your shoulders. Can you let it go easily?"

"When the world is peaceful and there is no war, I will be fine. However, Qinghe must remember to wait for me."

"Okay! I'll wait!" Ji Qinghe smiled, thinking it was just a joke of the man, until many years later, the man was really dressed in coarse clothes, following behind him, bowing and laughing, exhilarated .

"Where's Lieutenant General Qi?"

"Night Patrol at the West Gate."

"You can close the net!"

In the afternoon of the second day, in the barracks, three or four soldiers came out of the general's camp carrying a large antique bathtub.Vice General Yang, who came back from his patrol, pulled the general's soldiers beside him and asked, "What is the general doing? Isn't it still dark today? Why are you taking a bath?"

"Vice General Yang, this is what Doctor Wang ordered, saying that taking a bath with medicinal herbs every day will help the general recover from his wounds."

"Oh, what's the matter with the carriage over there?" Looking along the situation, there was a carriage parked in the open space not far away, and a soldier was feeding the horses.

"Mr. Ji will go to the city for business in the afternoon, and the general will go with him."

"Isn't this a nonsense? The general's injuries are not healed, what if he meets a gangster? Isn't that kid Qi Feng always accompanying the husband in the past?"

"Deputy General Qi is on duty at the West City Gate, and he has not been in the army for the past few days." Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, and Ji Qinghe came out of the main general's camp, looked at Vice General Yang in front of the tent and said, "The general's injury has healed a lot, let's go for a walk It's fine to leave. Vice General Yang can rest assured that the barbarians in Pingguan City have basically been cleaned up, and I believe that no desperado would dare to show up at this time."

"The general's safety depends on Mr. Law."

Ji Qinghe nodded with a smile, and when he was about to go back, he suddenly said: "I may stay in the city tonight, is there any urgent matter for Vice General Yang to report to the general?"

"Not yet." Vice-General Yang returned.Looking at Ji Qinghe's back, he was thoughtful.

When Xu Shi arrived that day, the city of Pingguan was already sparsely populated and deserted. A carriage came slowly from the city and headed for the west mansion of the city, waking up the wild cats and dogs along the way.

Someone in the carriage was chatting in a low voice, asking: "It's Xu time, what if that person doesn't take the bait?"

"It's still a long time, just wait patiently."

However, at this moment, the horse pulling the cart was suddenly frightened, and refused to move forward, as if there was something terrible in the shadow ahead.The two bodyguards in front of the car immediately drew their weapons and looked ahead vigilantly, "Who is it? Come out!"

"The one who took your life!" As the words fell, more than 20 masked killers jumped out of the shadows, each holding a sharp sword, and surrounded them.The leader shouted at them: "General Qi, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Vice General Yang is safe and well!" As soon as the words were finished, the masked killer's body trembled, and his eyes suddenly turned hard. He saw a slender hand stretched out from the carriage to lift the curtain, and stood alone. It was Ji Qinghe who came out.

"Vice General Yang is not on duty in the army tonight, what are you doing here?"

"Hahaha... I'm asking you knowingly, what do you think I'm here for? I'm here to kill you and Qi Yue!"

"It's okay to take my life, but I'm afraid it's not good to take General Qi's life!" Ji Qinghe said calmly, looking at the killer with a calm expression, he felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart.

"Put down your weapons!" Just as Ji Qinghe finished speaking, a large number of troops emerged from the originally empty alleyway and surrounded them tightly. It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time.The torch was lit, instantly illuminating the surroundings, and the situation at this moment was clear at a glance!

Those killers suddenly lost their positions, and slowly retreated to one place, carefully staring at their surroundings.Lieutenant General Yang, who was in the lead, was a little flustered, with an angry expression on his face, and shouted: "You guys are planning to deliberately lure me into the bait? Despicable!"

"If we don't make preparations early, I'm afraid we will be the ones who took the bait today, don't you think so? Vice Admiral Yang?"

"Since you have discovered it, why don't you just stop doing it and kill the net? Only those in the carriage will have a chance to survive. Kill them!" Deputy General Yang pointed his sword at the carriage, gave an order, and charged at him first. Passed over, ferocious and imposing.

Ji Qinghe turned sideways, and a man jumped out of the carriage in an instant, and greeted him with a long sword in his hand.Looking at that man again, his body shape and swordsmanship were quite similar to Qi Yue's, his strikes were clean and neat, and his moves were fast, ruthless, and accurate, forcing Vice General Yang to retreat again and again.It is said that Qi Yue was seriously injured, but there was nothing wrong with this sword technique. After a closer look, the man was actually Qi Feng disguised as Qi Yue.

"Why is it you? Huh!" Surprised, Qi Feng took the opportunity to kick him out, and before he landed, before he could get up, he was held on the neck by the surrounding soldiers with knives.There was a burst of sword light and sword shadow, and the killer who resisted was also dead and wounded.

"How is it possible? Qi Feng, you are clearly at the west city gate..." Before the man could finish speaking, Qi Feng was interrupted, "You are clearly on duty at the west city gate? You clearly saw the general's carriage with his own eyes, so why did you change your mind?" It's me, right? Yang Changwen, thanks to the fact that the general treats you like a brother, you dare to collude with the enemy and treason the country and assassinate the general? You deserve to die!"

"How did you know my identity? Is it you? What did you do?" Yang Changwen was not reconciled, and angrily yelled at Ji Qinghe.

Ji Qinghe straightened the cloak on his body, and said, "Hasn't Vice General Yang heard that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind? As soon as our carriage left the barracks, you sent someone to follow us, and the general is that oriole bird."

"Sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth. Do you still remember the wooden barrel for the general to bathe in? Vice General Qi did go to the west city gate to watch the night, but he came back quietly and hid in the wooden barrel Here, someone carried him into the general's camp. Then, the one who was carried out was the general. I deliberately disguised Vice General Qi as a general, and swaggered out of the army. The purpose is to lure you into the bait. Actually, if you If you are more cautious, you will not be able to attract you today, but recently, the city and the army have searched for barbarians and spies, and the crackdown has been severe, you are afraid that if you miss this time, you will have no chance."

"How do you determine that I am the ghost?"

"In the beginning, I didn't know who the ghost was. Do you remember the last time I was kidnapped by barbarians? Coincidentally, I just could understand the barbarian language. The ghost that the barbarian leader said came from the barracks of the Qi family army. There are people with a certain position around the general, and the person who the general asked to report the letter was intercepted halfway. After waiting for half a day without news, Vice General Qi was worried, so he chased him all the way, otherwise the general and I would really fall on you hand."

"But I can't judge who is the insider based on these alone, so I set up a situation with the general, released the fact that he was attacked by barbarians, and tried our best to arrest all suspicious people, arrested several people in a row, tortured and extorted confessions, and the army There was a sudden panic. The insider was afraid that he would be found out sooner or later, and he would definitely take action. But the military is heavily guarded and it is difficult to start. That's why today's scene happened. Until now, I am sure that you are the one Inner ghost. Captain Duan, who guards the Dongcheng Gate, is your accomplice, right? The general has already taken it down, and now, Vice General Yang, you have no room to resist!"

"Hahaha... What a praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind him! Hahaha..." Xu Shi was exposed, but Yang Changwen knew that he had no chance of escape, so he laughed out of anger!

"Yang Changwen, Hugh is crazy, your time of death is coming!" Qi Feng pointed at the man and said fiercely.

"I have another question. As a great general, Vice General Yang, the general treats you well. Why did you conspire with barbarians to betray your country and people?" Ji Qinghe asked again.

"Hehe, yes, Qi Yue is a good general, but it's a pity that he is now on the opposite side of me. If he works for that dog emperor He Lancheng, then he is my enemy!" Yang Changwen roared, very emotional, staring at Ji Qinghe's eyes were full of hatred and malice. "Ji Qinghe, I recognized you as soon as you appeared next to Qi Yue. Do you still remember the eldest prince He Lanfeng? The maiden name of his mother and concubine is Yang. Do you still remember the one who dedicated his life to Da Yang and died? Old General Yang? How did their whole family die? It was because of that cruel and cold-blooded dog emperor He Lansheng!"

"You are old general Yang's confidant?" Ji Qinghe was startled, remembering that a few years ago, He Lansheng forced the Palace of Heaven and Heaven, forced the eldest prince He Lanfeng to abdicate, and his old party was cleaned up by He Lancheng, Including the natal family of the eldest prince Helanfeng's mother and concubine, the respected General Yang.At that time, he tried his best to persuade He Lansheng to let Old General Yang's family go, but that person was suspicious by nature, and it was fruitless after all.This also made him gradually feel disgusted with this court power struggle.

"I don't recognize my six relatives, murder loyal ministers, and use all means to achieve my goals. Why should I be loyal to such an emperor? The cause he planted by himself will taste the bad results sooner or later. And you help the tyrant, if it weren't for you, he would not be so rampant , you will all suffer retribution, no, you have already suffered retribution! Haha..."

"Be honest, kneel down!" Yang Changwen, who was laughing wildly, was kicked to the ground by the soldier who was holding him behind him.

And Ji Qinghe, who was at the side, remembered the battle for the throne a few years ago, where blood flowed like a river, and how many innocent dead souls were lost for no reason.The hands hanging down couldn't help clenching into fists, trembling a little!

"I knew there would be today, but I don't regret it, Ji Qinghe, since I can't take revenge on that dog emperor now, I have to bear it on you. I will make you a hundred times more painful than death, and make this Juping pass tens of thousands of people. The surname will be buried with you!" Suddenly, the man suddenly pulled out the flare from his waist, pulled off the hijab, and a firework exploded in the night sky in an instant, which was very conspicuous.

"Stop him!"

At the same time, a sharp arrow came behind him, cut through the air, and pierced his heart fiercely, causing blood to splatter all over.The man stared and fell to the ground unwillingly, the bamboo tube in his hand rolled down several times on the ground.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late!

When everyone turned their heads, they saw that Qi Yue, who appeared at some unknown time, was riding a horse, holding a curved bow in his hand, looking at them coldly, exuding a chilling smell all over his body, and it was he who shot that arrow just now.

"General!" the crowd shouted.

"All escorted back to the barracks, waiting to be dealt with!"

"Yes!"
