Chapter 158 The Imminent Battle

Luoyang, West Garden.

There are two palace cities in Luoyang, one is the South Palace, the other is the North Palace, and the West Garden is to the west of the North Palace, near the Upper West Gate. After the arsenal was moved to the south, this area was transformed into a palace garden and incorporated into the North Miyagi Castle.

Now the West Garden is also a school ground, with eight battalions of soldiers stationed in Luoyang City, which is only inferior to the fifth battalion of the Northern Army in Luoyang City. Even the southern army is stronger than the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden.

The leader of the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden is Jian Shuo, the captain of the upper military academy.

Jian Shuo's martial prowess is quite extraordinary, especially the sword technique. In Luoyang City, besides General He Jin, the person who can win against him is already the second one. He is the strongest martial artist among the ten servants. , At the same time quite martial arts, is an eunuch that the emperor relies on.

In the heart of the emperor, Jian Shuo's status is only inferior to that of Zhao Zhong.

"Young Master Mu, this is an imperial decree from His Majesty just now. His Majesty loves you very much, so you have to thank His Majesty for your great love, and in the future, work hard to repay His Majesty's trust!"

In the afternoon, when the sun was setting on the western mountain, in the west garden, in a barracks, Jian Shuo smiled and loosened an imperial decree into Mu Jing's hands.

After a whole morning of recuperation, Mu Jing regained some physical strength.

There were only 47 people left in his party, all of whom lived in the West Garden.

At this moment, I am afraid that only the West Garden can accommodate him.

He must save his life and ensure that Mushan's return to the court is safe, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.

"Your Majesty loves you so much, I am ashamed of what I have received. In the future, I will die to serve Your Majesty and solve problems for your father-in-law!" Mu Jing's injury was not serious, but it was not so bad that he couldn't stand up. He walked forward and cupped his hands Salute, receive the imperial decree with both hands.

"Then take care of yourself!"

Jian Shuo said confidently: "In this West Garden, with our family here, no one can hurt your life!"

"Thank you for your maintenance, father-in-law, there will be rewards in the future!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath, and gave Huo Yu a wink: "Zhongheng, send Eunuch out!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu took out two gold cakes from his sleeve and quietly handed them to Jian Shuo: "Eunuch, go slowly!"

Jian Shuo walked out very satisfied.

In the barracks, there were more than ten houses, and Jiang Lu walked out of one of the houses, looking at Jian Shuo's back in the distance: "Your Majesty's reward is generous, and it is a good thing to be promoted, which means it is a foregone conclusion. But the ten permanent attendants are entangled together, but there are some flaws, it seems that from now on, we will all brand one..."

"Be careful!"

Before he could speak to me, Mu Jing stopped him. Mu Jing shook his head, signaling that he was leaving Jian Shuo, and asked him not to speak.

It wasn't until Jian Shuo couldn't see his back that Mu Jing said: "These people who practice martial arts have clear eyes and ears. When we talk here in the future, we must be careful that the walls have ears. Some things can be thought in the heart and cannot be said."

"It's just a little bit of reconciliation!"

Jiang Lu is usually cautious, but now he is indeed a little upset, and it took him a long time to calm down, saying: "We finally got close to Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other Qingliu gentry. , was branded the name of the eunuch party, no matter how I think about it, I am a little unwilling!"

Since they lived here in Xiyuan, they must have been branded as partisans of the eunuch party. Among the scholars, they were cast down to the eighteenth level of hell, and even if Mujing had just guessed some of their reputations, they would be wiped out.

This is the helplessness of the eunuchs.

People who study are born at odds with eunuchs of the eunuch party.

"no way!"

Mu Jing let out a long sigh, and said, "Here in Luoyang City, Lu Zhi and the others can't save us. They have no soldiers in their hands, and they can't keep people down. Only the ten permanent guards have military power, and they can keep us safe!"

"Your Majesty was furious during the battle last night, maybe they dare not fight anymore!" Jiang Lu said.

"Humph!"

Mu Jing said: "Can you guarantee that they won't take risks? I don't dare. As the saying goes, if you suffer a loss, you will gain wisdom. We can't make the same mistake again. You and I know how things went last night. If it happens again, do you think we will still be able to make the same mistake?" Is there a life to escape?"

"This..." Jiang Lu was speechless.

He had personally experienced the danger last night, so he naturally understood that if Mu Jing hadn't been ruthless and set it ablaze, the bodies of all of them might be found in the mansion of Jingping Trading Company today.

"The eunuch is the eunuch!"

Mu Jing's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Now there is nothing more important for us to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang. When we gain a firm foothold, I will pay them back these enmities bit by bit. I, Mu Jing, will never Don't suffer!"

"That's all right now!" Jiang Lu nodded, "However, the Son of Heaven took advantage of this opportunity and caught them off guard. I heard that Zhi Jin Wu, Luo Yang Ling, and City Defense General have all been dismissed from their positions!"

"Ha ha!"

Mu Jing sneered: "They treat the emperor as a joke, so naturally they have to pay a price, but this price is not enough, just wait, I will let them know that they will pay a greater price, whether it is from the family or foreign relatives, think If you want to kill me, you must have the ability to bear it!"

Seeing the hideous look on Mujing's face, Jiang Lu's heart tightened, and he shuddered.

"How about our casualties?"

Mu Jing walked inside. In this barracks, they were all their people, but the room full of wounded soldiers made him unsightly. He was able to escape last night, either injured or burned, none of them were intact.

Only he and Jiang Lu Huoyu were well protected, and they were barely injured.

"Huo Shao was seriously injured. There were only fifteen guards left. Zhao Ping hadn't woken up from a coma. The soldiers under his command were almost destroyed. There were only seven left. A dozen people from the business firm were also killed and burned to death. The Taiping Divine Guard has also killed two people!"

Huo Yu followed closely. He was very responsible as a secretary and official, and reported in a low voice: "The most important thing is Commander Zhang Huo. He was attacked by two masters. He has 27 scars, big and small, all over his body. The imperial physicians who came to make a diagnosis said that if it wasn’t for his extraordinary physique, he would have bled to death, and now he is still in a coma, and the imperial physicians have given him medicine to stop the bleeding, it’s hard to say when he will wake up!”

"There's nothing the imperial doctor can do!"

"The doctor said that he has tried his best!"

"pen and ink!"

"exist!"

Mu Jing lay down and wrote two letters, one to Mu Shan and one to Zhang Ning: "Huo Yu, send someone to Runan immediately, hurry up!"

Of these two letters, one is to explain the matter to Mu Shan, and the other is to invite Zhang Ning to Beijing. Jing was relieved.

"promise!"

Huo Yu nodded, took the letter and went out.

"You're worried about Runan!" Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes.

"Worry!"

Mu Jing nodded and said: "Father has a bad temper. If someone is aggressive, he might turn against him. It's not surprising that if someone wants to turn against him at this time, it's not impossible!"

"You underestimate the lord. The lord should be able to endure it. After all, you are in the capital. Even if he can't help it, he will continue to endure it. You are unique in the lord's mind. He would rather be humiliated than let you To the trap!"

"How is your injury?"

"A little bit of burn, three to five days of cultivation, and you'll be fine!"

"Let's go as soon as possible, I always feel a little uneasy that you are not by father's side!" Mu Jing said.

"Ok!"

Jiang Lu was also worried, so he nodded and said: "I will set off for Runan tomorrow, meet the lord, and retreat to Nanyang as soon as possible, first sit down in Nanyang and talk!"

"Be careful, if some rules are broken, it will be life and death. Your weakness is that you believe in the rules too much. When you change your mind, you must be ruthless enough, otherwise it will be difficult for you to suppress the Nanyang gentry!"

"I see!"

Jiang Lu can be regarded as gaining wisdom through suffering. In the past, his talent was manifested by the knowledge accumulated in his studies. Now he has experienced and started to accumulate experience, and he is even more outstanding.

……

In mid-October, Runan.

Pingyu County City.

The Violent Bear Army under the banner of Nanyang is stationed in the city, while the Runan Army is rushing southward from Ruyin outside the city. The two armies are facing each other, and the atmosphere has become a little tense.

in the city.

Mu Shan looked out of the city from the top of the city, and the Runan Army battalions for several miles put him under a lot of pressure. These days, the Runan Army has repeatedly provoked him, and he has almost lost his patience: "I am in a hurry, I want to see you Is it harder to fight than Gong Du Liu Pi!"

These days, the Runan Army is not the first time to provoke.

They came south and never recognized your banner of the Nanyang Army. Their intention was obvious. They wanted to seize Pingyu, Shangcai and other counties in his hands, and regain the control of Runan County.

But now these counties are all in the hands of Mushan, and Mushan has a hundred thousand lions in his hand, how could he back down, the situation naturally became tense.

"My lord, General Zhou Cang has returned from outside the city, and he is injured!"

"what?"

Mu Shan hurriedly got off the city wall and went straight to the Flying Cavalry Camp.

"How is Yuan Fu?" Mu Shan walked into the Flying Cavalry, looked at the pale Zhou Cang lying on the bed, his expression turned slightly cold.

"Master Mu, the internal strength in his body was broken by the strong force of the master. The person who attacked him was very ruthless, and he used strong force to shock his dantian. If he doesn't cultivate well, he will be left with hidden wounds. In the future It's hard to advance in martial arts."

Zhang Ning was diagnosing Zhou Cang, and after the diagnosis, he said softly: "It's okay, the injury on his body was discovered early, I prescribe medicine for a while, and he should be able to recover, but this month, he must not use force! "

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhou Cang, and said, "Yuan Fu, what's going on, didn't I give an order not to fight?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, I was fooled!"

Zhou Cang said: "The twelve scouts under my command were patrolling outside the city, but they were beheaded by the Runan army. In a rage, I went out to challenge the camp, but was injured by a general holding a three-pointed knife. We fought for seventeen rounds. He was cut off from his horse, and if he hadn't tried his best to save him, he would have died in battle!"

"Seventeen rounds can kill you, this person's martial arts will only be above me, not below me!"

Mu Shan's pupils changed color, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"My lord, this person should be the most powerful general under Yuan Yin, the prefect of Runan, the captain of Runan Ji Ling, who is good at using the three-pointed knife weighing fifty catties!" Tan Zong said beside him.

"Ji Ling?"

The light in Mu Shan's eyes became colder and colder: "I want to meet him for a while, dare to hurt my beloved general, hum, I will make him pay back!"

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Beat the drum, gather the generals!" Mu Shan's endurance was completely broken by Zhou Cang's injury: "If you want to fight with their Runan Army, a certain family will fight!"

"The Runan army is so provocative, it is clear that they want the lord to turn against him!"

Liu Jin came up and advised in a low voice: "If the lord starts a war, he will naturally be a traitor, and the lord must not be fooled!"

"Then we can only let ourselves be bullied?" Mu Shan roared: "Twelve scouts were killed today, and four soldiers were shot last night. How many soldiers do I have to die unjustly!"

"My lord, no matter what, we still need to be patient!"

It was Li Yan who knew Mu Shan better. He cupped his hands and said, "Now the young master is running around in Luoyang. If the master loses composure, the young master will definitely be implicated. At that time, the young master will be beheaded by the court in Luoyang!"

Hearing this, Mu Shan was speechless, the veins on his forehead were bumpy, and his fists were tightly clenched.

"Lord!"

Zhou Cang also struggled to sit up: "For the sake of the overall situation, please be patient!"

"I will endure!"

Mu Shan walked away in a huff, feeling sullen all by himself.
