Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 267

"Liu Liang! Be careful with your attitude, this is Yuqian!" Ming Zonghua shouted angrily, staring at the stunned young "former son-in-law".

Liu Liang glanced at him contemptuously, ignored him, just kowtowed his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the grass people have nothing to lie about. If there are false fabrications, I am willing to accept the crime of killing myself."

Xiao Jue stared at him, Liu Liang met him without fear, his eyes were bright, after a while, Xiao Jue said slowly, "Why are you so concerned about this city wall?"

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have read military books for a few days, and know that the most important thing to defend a city is the city wall. This lack of Yunzhou city wall means that the whole city of Yunzhou is exposed to the enemy. If an enemy invades, the city cannot be broken. In a short time, there are so many benefits, every time the grassroots think about it, they will break out in cold sweat and toss and turn restlessly."

Xiao Jue glanced at him appreciatively, nodded, and said: "Seeing that you are a scholar, I don't think you know some military tactics and have a strong character, well, with such a heart, where can't you struggle to get your background?"

He turned his head and met Qin Changge's eyes. In an instant, the two had reached an agreement. Xiao Jue said, "Ming Zonghua, Liu Liang, you stay in Beijing for now and don't leave. I will send someone to take care of you."

The two kowtowed to thank each other, and Liu Liang kowtowed heavily. He kowtowed and glanced at Qin Changge again, but Qin Changge pretended not to see it.

"Today's matter, what you heard and said, you must immediately forget, otherwise," Xiao Jue said solemnly: "I don't like to kill people, but I'm not afraid to stop rumors with blood!"

"The slaves dare not!"

Xiao Jue stood up, nodded slightly to the worried Wenchang, teased Qin Changge, and went away in a gust of wind.

The two returned directly to the Grand Master's Mansion. Xiao Jue didn't say a word along the way, his face was livid, and he managed to control himself not to lose his composure. As soon as the study rooms were opened, he rushed in, opened his tightly clenched palms, and with a bang, his savings were gone. The long-lasting true power leaked out uncontrollably, smashing several hard bluestone bricks on the ground to pieces.

Qin Changge remained silent, turned around, clapped his hands, and the subordinates of Huangmeng appeared in response. Qin Changge whispered a few words, and the man took orders and left.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Jue standing in front of the huge map in the study, drawing an arc on the map with his arm, Qin Changge shrank his eyes, and said coldly: "If we guessed correctly, the so-called Wei-Yan coalition forces are on the way." Baizhang Mountain in Ducheng is fake, and their fundamental goal is Yunzhou!"

"That's right," Xiao Jue nodded, "Yunzhou is the city closest to the mainland among all the passes. After crossing Yunzhou, the hinterland of Xiliang will be completely exposed to the enemy—this Ma Sirui, I'm going to kill him!"

"What kind of gods and men conferred python robes? It's not guaranteed that this is a bureau," Qin Changge's eyes were cold, "Those who are willing to plan ahead, many years ago, the bureau was laid."

"The guard of Ducheng, Zhou Zhihao, is a seasoned general. Now he must have deployed all his troops and deployed them near Baizhang Mountain. Shan Shao's army is still on the way. It was originally planned to arrive in Ducheng in about three days. Now it seems that, They are all going to miss out, and the Wei-Yan allied forces going to Shangshan, although the road is difficult and the distance is long, but when Shan Shao and Zhou Zhihao get the news and turn around to chase, they will definitely not be able to catch up."

"Now there is only one way left."

The two looked at each other, and said in unison: "Exchange the 20 troops from the suburbs of Beijing who are training for the frontier army, and go straight to Yunzhou!"

"Changge, I'm leaving," Xiao Jue turned around and left, "I have to immediately order the military order to go to the study, and I will personally lead the army to get rid of those bastards who poached my corner."

"I'll go with you," Qin Changge grabbed him, and without waiting for Xiao Jue to stop him, he sneered, "Northern Wei and Dongyan allied forces are coming out, there must be our old friends inside, for example, Bai Yuan."

"Maybe there are many old acquaintances who were forced to run around by us," Qin Changge smiled casually, "This is the last battle, and it is about the ownership of the world. Why are they reluctant to come?"

"Then, let's go together," Xiao Jue smiled proudly, "The wind is blowing in the sea, and all the heroes are gathered. Let's see who becomes the king!"

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the sixth year of Qianyuan, during the Shangyuan Festival, a hundred thousand fireworks were fired, the lights of the flower market were like daytime, and the shadows of people and flowers were chaotic like a tide. Next, wear the stars and wear the moon to set off.

Towards, Yunzhou.

In the bitter cold wind of deep winter, the most outstanding figures at the pinnacle of Xiliang imperial power gently steered their horses in the dark, and looked deeply in the direction of the Grand Master's Mansion in Yingdu.

The stars are twinkling in the sky, the man's eyes are affectionate in the starlight, and the woman is feeling sad
Going here, to meet the enemy, ride the horse across the cliff, bend the bow and shoot Hu Yue, make wine cups with human heads and drink the blood of the enemies.

The moon is empty, the wind is tight, the hero's temples are stained with cold light, and there is no complaint of parting.

In the Grand Master's Mansion, in that exquisite small building, a certain prince of Jian Guo who was thrown down again was sleeping soundly, his little cheeks were flushed, and suddenly he turned over and said: "Mother..."

After a while, he muttered again, "... um... stinky father... the beard pricked me..."

After a long while, he hugged the quilt again and said, "Godfather... Master is good or bad."

He murmured, sweetly turned over, and fell asleep again dragging his famous saliva.

I don't know that those few heartless people called by him are staring in his direction reluctantly at this time, and at the moment when he fell asleep again, they sighed and turned their heads, whipped their horses, and turned their backs to him step by step and go.

The stars and the moon were silent, and the light shone lightly into the Xiaoxuan window. Prince Xiao, who was lingering in the bedding, showed a bright smile that there was no more worries in the world, and life was perfect.

On the 21st of the first month of the sixth year of Qianyuan, the winter is not over, and the army is on the way.

"In about one day and one night, we will arrive at Yunzhou." Xiao Jue raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead.

Qin Changge nodded, took a sip of the water that Chu Feihuan handed over silently, and said, "Let's rush all the way to the trail and take shortcuts. The soldiers walked hard. If you happen to meet the coalition army when you arrive in Yunzhou, the tired soldiers will Traveling far without taking a break is a tough battle.”

"Even if it is difficult to fight," Xiao Jue said with a sneer, "Aren't they tired soldiers?"

Turning his head to look at Qin Changge, Xiao Jue's eyes were full of affection, and he said in a low voice, "Are you tired? You haven't slept well these days. You have to sleep in the wilderness again tonight. I have wronged you."

"How do you know I didn't sleep well?" Qin Changge looked at him with a half-smile.

"This, this..." Xiao Jue has the nerve to say that he sneaks out of the big tent every night, and it takes a long time to see the lights of Changge's tent go out. The peeping life is wretched, and wretchedness cannot be announced.

Fortunately, Qin Changge understands Xiao Jue just as he understands his own fingers, and it's just a smile. A woman who is not peeping is lonely, and she is ashamed to admit it.

Chu Feihuan suddenly said calmly: "It's going to rain."

As if to explain his words, there was a loud bang immediately, the golden snake demon danced in the black cloud billowing sky, the bright light pierced through, and a huge lightning bolt traversed the sky, and then there was a huge thunder as if hitting the top of the head, shaking everyone The ground seemed to shake slightly.

Qin Changge raised his head, and said in astonishment, "There is thunder in this winter?"

"It's probably Chunlei," Xiao Jue joked, "Help me kill some bastards who tear down the walls."

Chu Feihuan, however, had a worried expression on his face. He frowned and looked at the gloomy sky. The rain was about to come, and the surrounding air was very cold. rain?

"Your Majesty!" Yao Yanyu, the commander of the Forbidden Palace who was on the expedition, came galloping, "It's going to rain soon, so we can't stay here. There is a small town ten miles ahead, and the servant Luan will go there first."

Xiao Jue hummed, and said, "Tell the big guys to hurry up."

The thunder became more and more urgent. Several people rode their horses and galloped. After traveling for only five miles, the cold wind suddenly picked up, and then the raindrops fell. There was a slight cracking sound of ice crystals in the rain, and there was a sound of cracking on people's shoulders.

Not only sleet, but also hail, and the size of the hail is not small.

Qin Changge cursed secretly, drew up his true energy and forced it out of his body, dispersed the hail, and whipped the horse to run faster.

At this time, I can no longer feel sorry for my true energy and physical strength. The rush in this winter is very urgent. If I get wet and get cold, it will be a big trouble.

Yao Yanyu was drenched all over, and followed Xiao Jue, trying hard to pull up the yellow butong oil umbrella to cover Xiao Jue in the fierce wind, but Xiao Jue split it open with one hand, and laughed loudly: "Go up to the hail, in the snow Mercedes-Benz, the happiest thing in life is this, what a lazy umbrella!"

He was unobstructed, took the lead, and the black clothes flew away in the wind, and everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Slightly leaning to the small town in front, it is a deserted town, the town is very small, and there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, so the army had to be stationed outside the town.

The sound of Xiao Jue's hooves resounded neatly in the empty town, startling the night birds that were resting among the broken tiles and walls, fluttering up into the sky, stopping on the trees with withered and hideous branches, and tilting their heads to look at them. Uninvited night guests.

There was an extreme silence in the air, and the sound of the army resting outside the town sounded very far away. The hailstones fell rustlingly, and the ground was soon covered with a layer of ice, which was crushed by horseshoes.

I don't know where the sound of wild beasts roaring, desolate and wild, the night birds in the town were startled again, they flapped their wings, but they didn't scream, they just kept circling in the dim snow fog, Spread the sound of flapping wings all over the town.

Singer Qin Chang was wrapped in his sleeves, looked up at the cold and misty sky, and murmured: "This town feels very dark..."

Behind him, Yao Yanyu led the guards, and managed to find a house with a leak-proof roof. It seemed to be the house of a big family in the town. They carefully ordered someone to clean it. Entering the hall, Xiao Jue and Qin Changge stood under the eaves, seeing that the snow was heavy and the temperature dropped. Many of the soldiers were shivering, so they ordered the Huotou army to cook ginger soup and distribute it. I went to inspect the army, personally inspected the camping matters, and came back after a busy period.
