feud

General's House.

Chongxuan closed the door tightly, ran to his mother's room and said: "Mother, it's not good, there is a fire on the city wall."

Tian Yao was woken up just after falling asleep, hurriedly put on her clothes and came out to open the door, saying: "What's going on? Who is coming to attack the city? Isn't Lord Gongsun here?"

"Mother, I don't know. I was sitting in the yard, but when I looked up, I saw the fire."

Tian Yao walked into the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw several fires flickering in the direction of the city gate. It was the beacon tower that conveyed the news that someone was attacking the city.Gritting her teeth secretly, she said: "Xuan'er, don't be afraid, close the door of the real house, and follow your mother to invite your Uncle Nie Ji'an."

As soon as he said he left, the carriage carrying the mother and son stopped in front of the earthen house. The wall of this house was rammed earth, square pillars, and thatched roof.Tian Yao knocked on the door, and a bearded man came out to answer the door, his hair was a little disheveled, apparently he was awakened from his sleep.

Tian Yao bowed to him: "Nie Anji, it's really offending me to bother you late at night."

Chong Xuan: "Uncle Anji."

Nie Anji was very shocked and bowed to her: "You... why did you come to me? What happened?"

Nie Anji used to be a swordsman who traveled the world with his sword. The two met in the rivers and lakes. Tian Yao rescued him once, and then quit the rivers and lakes to marry Chongming. Nie Anji found Pingyang County, a gentleman like Nie Anji. He will only silently stand by Tian Yao's side. He has never had the paranoid idea of ​​killing Chongming, who took his love with a sword, or simply sneaking into the general's mansion, taking Tian Yao away and returning to the rivers and lakes to be a couple of gods and immortals. Beside her as a wife, for 15 years like a day, watching... no, even if you can't see Tian Yao, husband and godson, all you want to do is to repay your kindness by staying in the same city with her.

At this moment, Tian Yao came to him suddenly, so he could imagine how serious it must be.

Although Tian Yao was begging for help, his words were relentless, and he said indifferently: "There is fire on the city wall, and my husband is not there. There are only a thousand cavalry left in the city. I am afraid that villains will take advantage of the danger to attack the city. Orphans and widows have nothing to do but come to beg you."

"Uncle Anji, Xuan'er is willing to go with Uncle."

Only then did Nie Anji look up, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Go back quickly...Xuan'er is going back too. It's too dangerous outside, I'll take a look for you."

Tian Yao's eyes were wet, and he said sincerely, "Thank you."

-

Zhao Guo's flag was reinserted on the city wall, fluttering in the wind.

Zhong Yi was counting the casualties, while Gao Yue sat beside Sun Li and bandaged him clumsily.

It hasn't succeeded yet, there are still Chu troops outside the city, and they will return here after killing the insignificant two hundred cavalry.So Cen Li needs to rest in order to face the final battle.

In order to plant this flag here, how much blood was shed? If there is blood of the king's disease in it, will God still give the destiny to me?Isn't it said that the righteous way of heaven is the most impartial?How can you let me step on someone else's bones with a whole body of sin, and let me stand on a high wall, and not return that person to me...

Zhong Yi walked to Cen Li who was standing by the crenel. The night wind was very strong and the height was unbearably cold.

Zhong Yi: "Your Highness, there are 120 people left."

"Go and welcome King Kang. The magnificent mountains and rivers are in the palm of your hand. You should invite him to come and enjoy such a scenery."

"Your Highness..."

"Go." Cen Li said: "Pingyang City is like an iron barrel, it's not easy to attack from the outside, what are you afraid of?"

Zhong Yi knelt down on one knee, extremely loyal: "Yes."

-

This night is very long.

Wang Bing fell asleep unknowingly, woke up again, and saw the young man who had bandaged his neck wound before closing the door lightly.Chongxuan turned his head and was surprised to see Wang Bing who was awake.

Chongxuan made a silent gesture subconsciously, and soon felt that this gesture was stupid, and Wang Bing couldn't speak at all.

He Zhinian seemed to be in a deep sleep, curled up into a ball.Chongxuan picked up a pen to write on the case and showed it to Wang Bing.

"How does it feel?"

Wang Bing only knew that he was Gongsun Cao's friend, so he forced a silent smile.

This person is so pretty when he smiles, Chongxuan thought to himself, and smiled, took out another piece of paper he had written on, "Can't sleep? Would you like to take you to the yard?"

Wang Bing was really bored and wanted to go out in a panic. If he could, he would still like this kind boy to send him back, but He Zhinian had no choice but to fall asleep, and with his current mobility, it was very difficult to even stay in the bed. If you want the young man to take it with you, you should be hugged by him, so Wang Bing had no choice but to raise his hand and shake it, signaling him not to go.

Chong Xuan took out the paper he had already written: No trouble.

Wang Bing still persisted, Chongxuan was discouraged.After he followed his mother back home, he couldn't sleep no matter what. He had no brothers. There were only his mother and a dozen servants at home. His heart and lungs were itchy and he didn't know who to talk to. He came here unconsciously, thinking about doing something. It's also good to divert attention, for example, to diagnose and treat that person again, or talk to that young man called Xi by Gongsun Cao.

Seeing Chongxuan's disappointed look, Wang Bing raised both hands, his left hand was writing on his right palm, Chongxuan understood it, and walked over gently and stretched out his hand.

Wang Bing: You are depressed, what's the matter?

Chongxuan leaned forward as hard as he could, passed He Zhinian in the middle, and wrote on his left palm: something big...

He Zhinian turned over, turned his head outward, and pulled away Wang Bing's quilt.

This position was too dangerous, He Zhinian's nose almost touched Chong Xuan's clothes, Chong Xuan was terrified and annoyed, withdrew his hand, and quickly touched He Zhinian's sleeping point.

Wang Bing: "..."

"Let's go!" Chong Xuan was like a naughty child after a successful prank, he hugged He Zhinian who had fallen unconscious to the end of the couch, and covered He Zhinian with a quilt with great heart.He ran to the case again and took paper, pen and ink and stuffed it in front of his chest.Going back to occupy He Zhinian's position, carefully stretched one hand to Wang Bing's leg and the other around his shoulder, thinking of his neck injury, Chong Xuan slowly leaned over, put his head on his chest, and punched him horizontally Hug up.

Chongxuan practiced martial arts since he was a child, he picked up the thin Wang Bing with ease, and slipped away with oil on his feet.

"..."

-

"Okay, hoo! You can talk here."

The general's mansion is surrounded by mountains and embedded with water, and it enters several courtyards. It is comparable to the huge mansion of the Langya Wang family in Luoyang.Chongxuan carried him to the pavilion built near the water and put him on a long chair, saying: "What's so good about sitting on the ground, the chair is very comfortable, right?"

Wang Bing: "..."

Chongxuan took out a pen and paper and handed it to Wang Bing. There were many mosquitoes in the summer night, so Chongxuan took the sachet with him.He asked, "What's your relationship with Gongsun Fujun? This is the first time I've seen him have friends by his side."

Wang Bing smelled Huoxiang and perilla, spread the paper on his lap and wrote two words with difficulty: classmate.

Wang Bing: Why are you sad?

After all, Tian Yao is a woman, and those vulgar servants can't even distinguish the rice, so Chongxuan got some comfort by talking to him about Wang's illness.Said: "Someone is attacking the city, the flames are raging, the situation is very critical. My father is away from home, and there are only me and my mother at home. I don't know what to do."

Siege...it must be Cen Li!Did he make it!You won... Otherwise, the boy who mentioned Gongsun Cao several times wouldn't be so worried... Does he know I'm here...

Wang Bingqiang pretended to be calm, raised his hand and patted the boy sitting beside him, and wrote: Don't worry...

Wang Bing coughed a few times, and then wrote: Good people will be rewarded.

"Your handwriting is really beautiful." Chongxuan couldn't help but praised a few words, and then said: "You probably haven't stayed in the city. Yang. With the river Fen on the lapel and guarding Guanluo on the wings, it is known as the land of victory. Since ancient times, it has been a place where military strategists must fight, and there are constant battles and killings. But this time, there are many fewer soldiers in the city than usual. If the city is broken, We will all be killed."

The special geographical location of Pingyang played a great role in strategy. This place is not far from Luoyang, and the river transportation is well developed. The Hu people established their capital here, which provided more guarantee for going south to the Central Plains. Wang Bing knew this.

Wang Bing lazily wrote: At home, nothing to do.

"You and my mother said the same thing, but I always have a bad feeling. Forget it, you don't understand after I tell you. Go back." Seeing that he didn't have much to talk about, Chongxuan lost interest. Coughing a few more times, she walked over to pick him up.

Wang Bing coughed and frowned, trying to push him, this gesture was too ambiguous, and he was not familiar with this person, he didn't even know his name, how could he let him hug him.

"I will be responsible for sending you back when I send you out, otherwise your brother will put a dagger on my neck if he catches the wind and cold." Chongxuan had no other thoughts about him at all, but was upset and wanted to talk to someone. He also thought that the two men It's not good to hug him back and forth, but is there any way, he can't walk, so why don't we still grab his feet and drag him back?

Wang Bing felt that He Zhinian might indeed do this, but he had a soft mouth and short hands, and had to bow his head under someone else's roof. Besides, he saved himself, so Wang Bing couldn't say anything cruel. Cover your face with your hands.

Walking halfway, Chong Xuan's sleeve was suddenly pulled, and he lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Bing pointed in another direction, and coughed even worse.

Chong Xuan: "He won't wake up before dawn, you don't have to be afraid of waking him up."

Seeing that the man was still pointing, Chongxuan had no choice but to have a lot of rooms in his house, so he wanted to turn around and go to another courtyard.

Wang Bing's throat kept making the sound of "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Chongxuan asked again: "You just point and don't talk, where are you going?"

"City...gate...cough cough cough cough"

Chongxuan got a headache when he heard him coughing, and hurriedly said: "Hey, stop talking, you really want to be dumb for the rest of your life! Don't talk, wait a while." He quickened his pace and put him on the porch chair.

Wang Bing changed his mind when he heard that He Zhinian woke up at dawn, and quickly wrote: Send me to the city gate, don't ask, please.

Chongxuan laughed a few times as if he had heard some joke, and said, "What are you going to do with this look? Go back to your room and sleep." If you go there, you will be trampled to pieces within a few moments.

Wang Bing propped up his upper body with his hands, and moved to the edge of the porch chair with difficulty. His legs still had no feeling at all, but his upper body could still move. Without hesitation, his body fell forward, before he could hold the ground with his hands, his chest He slammed into the ground firmly and let out a painful muffled groan, which was really embarrassing.

Chongxuan jumped up in fright, and bent down to help him: "Hey!!! Your injury is still not healed, this will really kill you. Go back, there is a war there, swords have no eyes, life and death are in a blink of an eye, You are dragging your sick body, what can you do if you go there?! I won’t take you there.”

The dull pain in Wang Bing's chest made him breathless like a boulder was pressed on him.Chongxuan went to hug him up, but was stopped by Wang Bing who raised his hand. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Wang Bing grabbed him to prevent him from succeeding. After a few times, Chongxuan was annoyed, but he didn't know why he wanted to control a stranger life and death, and walked away fiercely.

Even though it was a summer night in June, the ground was still very cold when the dew was wet. His body was no different from ordinary people. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or the cold, and he began to tremble violently.

Asking for others is better than asking for yourself, even if everyone doesn’t help him and treats him like a joke, as long as there is one person, as long as it is that person, he is willing to tell him "Where have you been?" How difficult is it to climb over ?

It was late at night, but this horribly large mansion was cleaned. The servants all went to sleep. No one saw the person crawling inch by inch in the corridor. Yes, after enough rest, he will bite his lower lip and continue crawling. His feet seem to be locked with iron balls and chains. His bloody hands can no longer find complete nails. The sound of intermittent coughing has replaced the sound of cicadas. There is no righteous gesture of seeing death as home, but just moving forward like anyone who does not pass.

After waking up from a coma that lasted so long that even he himself forgot, a pair of boots appeared in front of him. Wang Bing changed his hand to avoid the boots, and suddenly someone grabbed him under his armpit, and he was turned over. His stomach was turned upside down, and his mouth was roughly pinched open again. His teeth touched something hard, and then the warm liquid was poured in. It was the ginseng soup that he was familiar with since he was a child.

The precious ginseng soup was rudely poured in irresistibly. Wang Bing was forced to open his mouth to the maximum because he was too stupid to swallow it himself. He had to shed tears, Chongxuan knew that he drank very painfully, and it was a bit punishing, so he poured it.

"madman!"

Chongxuan threw away the bowl, picked up the half-dead man on the ground, ran to the stable, put it on the carriage, and drove the carriage to the side door to leave the general's mansion.

-

Liu Huiye was invited by Zhong Yi to get on a horse and carried him away in a forceful way. When he came to Cen Li, even though he had already planned his speech, he was still frightened by Cen Li's bloody face and bloodshot eyes. I shivered.

"Uncle Wu." Cen Li went over to help him sit down, Liu Huiye was limping, and was about to speak, but Cen Li took a step ahead of him and said: "I believe that your weak legs can't beat Gongsun Cao and He Zhinian, I also believe that they are really going after Wang Xin, and I can still believe that they will wound him and take him to the city wall, but I can't believe it, you lied to me."

Liu Huiye: "..."

Both Gao Yue and Sun Li walked into the tower, looking at Liu Huiye with disappointment in their eyes, while Zhong Yi was called by Cen Li to stand guard on the crenel.

Liu Huiye didn't hide it anymore, and simply said: "Your Highness... I am sincere to Zhao Guo, and the world can learn from it. I will not harm His Highness and Zhao Guo. That Wang Xin...he is not suitable for you." , Gongsun Cao took him away, Hua Xin, give up your mind."

Cen Li was sensitive to the mystery of his change of address, clenched his fists, and then let them go.Liu Huiye dedicated his whole life to Zhao Guo. This is well known to everyone in Zhao Guo, and he is his uncle. If he moves, he will be accused of being unfilial and stupid.

But a few backlashes are still okay.

"Give up?" Cen Li sneered, "I've said it before, if he dies, you can find a new prince if you have time, Uncle Fifth, you can figure it out."

"But you can't abandon your people because of him, Hua Xin, he won't live long, and I, Sun Li, Gao Yue, Zhong Yi, and many Zhao people who have been reduced to slaves, are we going to be buried with him? "Liu Huiye's voice was trembling at the end, but it was more anger and blame.

But Cen Li didn't know that the more he put Wang Bing on top of his heart, the more Liu Huiye couldn't tolerate Wang Bing. The only thing he knew was that if he didn't want Wang Bing, then he couldn't tolerate himself.

Cen Li has always been calmer than Liu Huiye, he has always been too lazy to talk in front of others, saying: "Whatever you think."

Liu Huiye stood up so angry, "You..."

A man broke in suddenly, clasped his fists and said, "Report to His Royal Highness, Gongsun Cao was found in the city, and he has been subdued."

Cen Li was distracted, and immediately said: "Bring him up!"

-

Gongsun Cao was originally taken to the mansion by the soldier who was looking for him at the general's mansion, and he rushed over non-stop when he saw the beacon fire at the city gate, but he was a step late after all, and the unfamiliar corpses on the ground showed that what had just happened here After a fierce battle, he thought that Man Yuan really won the battle, and wanted to run up the city wall to find out what happened, but he didn't know that the city wall was already the victor's territory, and he was caught.

Cen Li went outside and looked at Gongsun Cao who was tied up with his weapons taken away.

Cen Li said coldly in Liang language: "You don't seem surprised."

The second time they met, the winner was the king and the loser, but Gongsun Cao didn't react much.Cen Li was not in the mood to taunt him now, so he drew out the knife from his waist and put it on his neck, asking, "Where is Wang's illness?"

After a long time, Gongsun Cao raised his head and looked directly at Cen Li.On the other hand, Cen Li was even more nervous and embarrassed than the captured Gongsun Cao.

Gongsun Cao showed no fear, and said, "Mo Changhe and Man Yuanzhen were defeated by you, and the city wall was also occupied by you. Do you think I will tell you?"

Cen Li was in a state of confusion, no matter how much he tried to hide his appearance, it was useless, Gongsun Cao broke through his fragile mask with a single glance and hit his heart directly.

All of Cen Li's defenses collapsed, and he threw the knife, lifted his collar, and punched him hard in the face. Gongsun Cao fell down with a muffled groan, and Cen Li sat on him as if he wasn't satisfied. Lifting his collar, he beat him and said, "Speak up! Speak up! If you don't give him back to me, I'll let the whole city be buried with me!"

If the beating continued, people would be killed. Sun Li quickly ran behind Cen Li and pulled him away, and shouted behind his ear: "Your Highness! Calm down, you will kill him!"

Cen Li withdrew his fist, pushed Sun Li away, looked at Gongsun Cao with a bruised nose and swollen face on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm very calm, Sun Li, I've never been so calm like now."

Really, Cen Li felt that he shouldn't be so calm, how could he be so calm and spend time with them here...

After Cen Li finished speaking, he walked up to Gongsun Cao, tried his best not to kill him immediately, and said, "If he makes any mistakes, I'll cut you to pieces."

Gongsun Cao reluctantly moved his lower facial muscles, snorted coldly, bit his tongue when he was beaten, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, sat up reluctantly, and looked at Liu Huiye who came out from behind in a blink of an eye.

Cen Li couldn't hear clearly. He thought he had made a move, so he knelt down and asked, "What did you say?"

Gongsun Cao: "Hehe... I feel sad for you... I don't know who caused the king to be in such a state. When your father sent Chongyan to kill his father, cough cough, do you beat Chongyan like this...hehe Hehehehe, it's obviously his, and his enemy is still talking about his words... Do you know that you are disgusting."

"..."

-

Zhong Yi, who was watching from the crenel, suddenly shouted: "Your Highness! There are people outside the city! They are rushing here!"

Everyone's attention was diverted, Liu Huiye was the first to react, and staggered to the Wengcheng crenel to look, his face turned pale.

Xiang He held a black object aloft, and led five hundred cavalry back to the city at the head of the horse.

Before the people arrived, Xiang He shouted loudly: "Xiang He was ordered to arrest the dog thief of Zhao State and return to the city. Who is on duty and opens the door!"

Sun Li and Gao Yue ran over to take a look, only to see hundreds of people rushing towards this direction, and they had already stopped at the door!

Xiang He: "Who is on duty!"

Sun Li took a closer look and took a few steps back in fright. Fortunately, Gao Yue was behind to support him.

"That's..." Sun Li looked at the round black thing in Xiang He's hand in disbelief, and said in surprise, "General!"

Chong Xuan drove the carriage wildly all the way, Wang Bing was dizzy in the car.On the way, a black figure suddenly appeared from the side, and Chongxuan was so frightened that he reined in his horse, and then heard a childish female voice screaming, "Brother!"

Su Jin didn't expect that there would be a carriage on this path, so he rushed out without looking at it. Fortunately, he escaped with his life, and he didn't want to die before he left.

Master Su ran over to check on his elder brother's injuries, but he fell down and scratched his skin a little, it's not a serious problem.

"What's the matter with you? You didn't stay at home in the middle of the night and ran around on the road." Although he knew it was the other party's fault, Chongxuan got out of the car and looked at the boy's injuries, and said, "It's okay, there's nothing serious."

Su Jin glanced at Chongxuan, but unfortunately he didn't know that the person in front of him was Chongming's son. Chongxuan hadn't reached the crown yet, so he stayed at home all the time, and even the books were taught at home. The only people who knew him were Chongming's son. Gongsun Cao is one of the friends who are guests at his house.

Master Su said to Chongxuan, "I'm sorry."

"Forget it, let's go home quickly." Chongxuan helped the boy up, and found that the two looked exactly the same, but he was not too surprised.Returning to the carriage and opening the bamboo curtain, he moved away all the tables and tables in the carriage in advance, only a few seats, Wang Bing lay in the empty carriage, not looking well, his chest was heaving violently, his face was blushing .Chongxuan knew that he had been crawling on the dew-wet floor for a long time, and the cold air entered his body. Now that the carriage was too bumpy, his neck injury was already worse.

Chongxuan: "Persist a little longer, we're almost there."

Wang Bing is currently weak and lacks energy to perform acupuncture. Fortunately, Chongxuan brought some moxa when he left. He quickly took off Wang Bing's shirt, turned him over, and then lit the moxa with a torch to smoke the acupuncture points. , moxibustion can nourish the body's yang energy, and it is mutually exclusive with the cold and damp evil energy in his body. Chongxuan prayed that the king's disease can survive the moxibustion, and the reaction of seducing other diseases may appear. If he can't survive, he will faint for two Three days is also possible.

Chongxuan studied medicine with Tian Yao since he was sensible, and his acupuncture and moxibustion techniques were superb. After the moxibustion was over, Chongxuan helped Wang Bing tidy up his clothes and observed his reaction. After a while, Wang Bing really started coughing violently, and even vomited a few mouthfuls Blood, this is the reason why the two qi in his body collide with each other, indicating that the moxibustion has worked.

Chongxuan tried his best, the rest can only be depended on himself.

"It's about to reach the gate of the city, you have to hold on, I took the risk of my mother breaking your leg to send you out, if you pass out before you arrive, then my work will be in vain." Chong Xuan I don't know if he heard it, but after finishing speaking, he returned to the coachman's seat, whipped the horse and started to drive.

After walking for a short distance, Chongxuan saw the pair of twins again, they turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound of horseshoes, gave way, and bowed to Chongxuan.

Chongxuan stopped and asked, "Where are you going?"

Master Su said: "The gate of the city."

Su Jin continued: "If the young master is on the way, Jin has a heartless request. Can you trouble the young master to give me a ride with my brother and sister? Jin will be very grateful."

"By the way, get up." It happened that they could take care of the person in the carriage for him, Chongxuan said: "There is an older brother who is sick at the back, can you take care of him for me?"

Su Jin readily agreed, Chong Xuan pulled them into the carriage, and the four of them set out on the road together.
