Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 169

The border station in southern Xinjiang, the commander's tent.

Under the dim light, Xin Yin sat in the tent, carefully looking at the topographic maps collected a few days ago.There are many mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang, where there are mountains and forests, there will be bugs, and where there are bugs, it is easy to be driven by Gu insects.

People in southern Xinjiang are good at driving Gu worms, so they are inferior to Daliang's army.Fortunately, with Xiao Hei's secret help this time, he extracted a batch of refreshing pills and developed a weapon similar to the obstacle avoidance bell.

The obstacle avoidance bell was developed to prevent the miasma produced in the mountains and forests. Ordinary people can easily fall into a psychedelic state if they inhale it, and then lose their way.Unless it is assisted by special medicines and tools to avoid miasma, it will not be passive.

The series of preparations that Xin Yin made at the very beginning was to keep a backup for going to the southern border.But what needs to be done now is to minimize the casualties and annihilate the army in the southern border, and not allow people to take advantage of it because of the terrain and Gu insects.

When Mu Yao entered the big tent, he saw Xin Yin frowning and thinking under the lamp.Raising his eyebrows, Prince Ze sat in his usual place, took out the plum blossom cake he was carrying from his sleeve and began to eat it.

Smelling the familiar aroma, Xin Yin took a deep breath, turned his gaze away from the topographic map, and turned to the man who was sitting and eating quietly.

Mu Yao's figure has always been thin because of the Gu worm, but his aura is not as weak as usual.Baptized by years of war, he carries with him a firm faith to believe in.His brows and eyes gradually opened, not the exquisiteness of a boy, but the maturity of a man who is about to grow up.He himself is becoming more and more like Emperor Rui, making it hard for people to figure it out.

Although the lines of his face are not as sharp as the blade of Emperor Rui, but the eyes in a pair of apricot eyes inherited from his mother will flicker from time to time.His face profile is very similar to his father's, with a handsome and charming smile. If he looks at people with a half-smile, it will make people feel chilly.

Fortunately, he has always been polite and self-reliant to the court ministers on weekdays, and only when facing familiar people, he will show his quiet side.

Xin Yin can say that watching him grow up, he thinks he understands him fairly well, and as he grows up, he gradually begins to lose sight of this child.

"Cousin, I'm not used to you looking for me in the middle of the night and seeing me not talking, okay?" Mu Yao handed the cake in his hand to Xin Yin, "A piece?"

"Has everything been arranged in the south?" Xin Yin shook his head, motioned him to eat plum cake by himself, and asked worriedly.

"It's about the same. Your side is more urgent. I'll be back as soon as I receive the letter." Mu Yao replied indifferently, then recalled, met Xin Yin's probing gaze, and stuffed the pastry into his mouth. smiled.

After chewing a few mouthfuls, he took the warm tea on the table and put down the cup, "Trust me, I won't be so stupid as to put someone beside you. I have experienced Commander Xin's ability."

"Oh? I think Yao'er has forgotten my tricks since we haven't seen each other for so long." Xin Yin stared at Mu Yao with good eyes.

"Don't dare, the person my concubine trusts, the king naturally trusts. What's more, my cousin and I can be regarded as saving our lives." Mu Yao put his hand on his back and patted him, "It's just by my good second brother Just put a few people in, don't be nervous, cousin."

"Your father told you this trip, so I don't think I need to remind you." Xin Yin let go and continued to stare at Mu Yao, "Before you do something, I don't ask you to discuss with me, at least tell me what step you have achieved. On your father's side, I can help you turn around."

"The matter that the father explained is naturally a big one. When I come out this time, my mission is not on the battlefield. Helping you stabilize the army is the only thing I can do for you. As for how you dare to fight the next battle, it is up to you It's up to you."

"It's natural, you just need to do what your father told you, and I don't need to worry about you. If there is another King of England, I will be too hungry to walk away."

"Second brother has been severely injured in the army after this time. After the Chen family's army reshuffled, it is a blessing for the father and you. It is a pity for General Chen. The youngest daughter is only three years old. Her wife has been fighting all these years. I'm sick, and I don't know if I heard the bad news, so I can't hold on."

"You ghost, just like your father, you love to care about people's backyard." Xin Yin rarely scolded Mu Yao, "Tell me what you think?"

"What else can I do?" Mu Yao said helplessly, "Naturally, the royal family and the Du family will join hands to appease the Chen family, and you still count on my good brother?"

"Your family doesn't have a suitable one, right?" Xin Yin counted the emperor's sons in detail, "You can't let Chen Song's eldest daughter marry your fourth or fifth brother?"

"Father really did that, it's not to appease, but to poke people's hearts." Mu Yao shook his head, "I'm thinking of the younger one. My ninth aunt is six months pregnant, and it's a boy."

"Is your father really able to look far away? If I remember correctly, your family is suitable from the sixth grade to the ninth grader. Be careful that your father is quick to act, and you can talk to your mother first. It is said that Chen Song's wife, It's your mother's concubine's cousin, and she has an extraordinary friendship with your mother's concubine."

"Cousin is joking, the branch is not the main family. The selection of the prince and concubine is not that simple. Besides, it is unknown whether the royal children can grow up safely. Why does the emperor embarrass the Chen family and expand the rift? I know this well .”

"It's good that you understand, it's not too late to think about the Chen family's affairs after the war." Xin Yin said solemnly, "As a member of the Mu clan, I ask you, have you prepared for the matter in the south?"

"Everything is under control, General Mu don't worry." Mu Yao patted the token in his hand on the table, got up and covered the crumbs of cakes on the sleeves, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, Mu Yao got up and walked out of Xin Yin's big tent.

Xin Yin, who stayed in the tent, drove himself and looked at the back of the grown-up child, chuckled, "Your son has really grown up, master."

He picked up the token on the table with his fingers, "Now that I want to use Xinbu, I have to rely on this token. Well, that's how it should be."

He blew a strange whistle into the darkness, his eyes were radiant under the light, "The secret guards of the Ministry of Xin obey the order, and go out with the army in three days, there must be no mistakes."

"Your subordinate obeys." A sound transmission according to internal force came from the dark.

At the same time, Hong Dan, who was lurking in the dark, ordered to his subordinates that once the war started, they would surround Daliang's army from behind and annihilate the Chen family's army.

On the fifth day of June in the 26th year of Xijia, the General Protecting the Country of Southern Xinjiang led 5 horses to invade from the border of southern Xinjiang.

Xin Yin joined the battle with 3 horses from the Gyeonggi Daying Camp and 2 horses from the Chen Family Army, and attacked in three directions: east, middle, and west.

There are only more than 5000 people in the Chinese army, and they stay at the border, led by Ze Wang; the 2 people on the west road are led by General Chen, and they are dispatched from Zeer and Ning divisions respectively. Road; General Mu Xinyin led 2 people from the East Road out of Nansang, directly attacked the hinterland of the mountains and forests, and made an appointment with the West Route Army to attack in an attempt to wipe out the invasion of the Southern Xinjiang Army.

On the way around the mountains and forests, the West Route Army was ambushed by the Southern Xinjiang Army. Xin Yin had expected it a long time ago and prepared a large amount of medicinal materials and troops for the Chen Family Army, but he still couldn't stop the decline.If it weren't for the fact that most of the West Route Army was Chen's army, who had guarded the southern border for many years and were familiar with the terrain, the West Route Army would have suffered heavy losses.Relying on Chen Jiajun's experience, he still lost nearly 10000 troops.

Not to mention, the East Route Army who followed Xin Yin was composed of most of the soldiers from the Gyeonggi camp and a small number of Chen families.The men and horses of Gyeonggi Daying suffered heavy losses in Fengcheng Station, and the recruited soldiers were all inexperienced recruits.But Xin Yin was always in charge of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp often simulated the battlefield during training, and there was no situation where the soldiers ran away.

But with too little experience in front of the battle, and Xin Yin went deep into the mountain forest from the front, and there was a crisis of miasma and Gu insects, the East Route Army suffered constant casualties along the way.

On the fifth day after the Eastern Route Army entered the forested area, it officially encountered the troops of the General Protecting the Country. They were exhausted, and with the previous casualties, they were quickly suppressed by the Southern Xinjiang Army.

Xin Yin knew that the 5000 troops of the Central Route Army were prepared for emergencies, and it was impossible to return to defense.Therefore, in the case of heavy losses, he still ordered his soldiers to resist stubbornly and not to retreat, so that the people of southern Xinjiang could take advantage of it.

The two sides fought fiercely in the mountains and forests for ten days, and the Eastern Route Army was getting more and more difficult in the case of insufficient food and grass.However, the West Route Army, who had agreed with them on a deadline, did not show up.

General Huguo claims that 5 troops are suppressing the border, but the real number of troops is less than 3. Xin Yin guessed that the remaining 2 troops may have already fought against the West Route Army.The West Route Army retreated from the siege, and even stood firm to prevent the southern Xinjiang from sending people from the rear. I am afraid that Nanjiang had already expected it.The West Route Army is afraid that there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Xin Yin was guarded by Xin Bu's secret guards, fighting all the way, and he couldn't care less about thinking about the life and death of the West Route Army.

And the Central Route Army, who stayed on the frontier, also encountered a rare crisis.

Mu Yao, who was in the central army, was injured by a small group of troops led by King Ying, and fell into a coma.The King of England took down Mu Yao's military power and led the Central Route Army northward.

During the march of the Central Route Army, they encountered a ferocious force on the way. The King of England ordered not to resist, and the Central Route Army was injured by this force.The King of England was hurt by this force and controlled him, losing his original arrogance and domineering.

The generals of the Chen family in the Central Route Army made a decisive decision to abandon the King of England and prepare to retreat in order to block this force from going south.The two sides quickly pulled a certain distance.

"Mu Jingning, you treacherous villain." King Ying saw that the Lu army gave up rescue, and scolded a woman in this unknown force anxiously and angrily.

"My dear second brother, you don't really think that your second sister wants to cooperate with you?" A sarcastic female voice sarcastically said, "I really don't know what to say, you are going to attack the land of your husband, and you are so stupid Believe in others, just to bring down King Ze?"

"Fourth sister, do you ignore your mother and concubine in front of you?" King Ying couldn't help but tremble with fear when he saw his elder sister's cruelty, "Fourth sister, save me, I will protect your mother and concubine, please!"

"Concubine Shizi, good fourth sister, you said that you want to save the son, oh, no, is it our Nanjiang king, or save your stupid brother?" Hong Dan giggled and said, "Who lurks beside this girl? For a long time, the dignified concubine personally serves this girl, how does it feel?"

"Second sister, it's more important to get down to business. This idiot will be punished first, and it won't be too late to kill him. I don't know how Mu Yunlan will react when he sees him being so useless." Mu Jingqing slapped him on the ground. King Ying's face, "It's cheap for you, I'll keep you with me, and I also want you to see how I defeated Mu Yunlan's Chen family army and the Gyeonggi camp."

"Mu Jingqing, dare you!" King Ying screamed, "Father will not let you go, just wait!"

"Mu Yunlan won't let Ben Gong die, so you don't need to waste your efforts." Mu Jing said to the left and right, "Speak the truth to King Ying and let him know what it means to be obedient in front of Ben Gong."

The subordinates tied up the King of England and began to whip the whip. The King of England was rather stubborn at this time, and he was not begging for mercy.

"I understand, I know that your good third brother will not come to save you. Go, tell Mu Yao that I will let him go for the time being, let him go back to die!" Mu Jingqing watched her brother being killed. His skin was torn apart, and he couldn't help but feel very good.

Before she could continue to insult her, the central army who had retreated earlier gave way to a small path, revealing the man on the horse.

"Elder sister is so loud, I don't want to go back and die." Mu Yao, who was still seriously injured before, tore off the bandages on his body, "Second brother, I'm sorry. You wish for luck!"

"Suicide!" Mu Jingqing waved her hand, and the soldiers and horses behind her immediately stepped forward to fight.The Central Route Army has only a few thousand troops, so it is not a big deal for them.

Thinking that his troops in northern Xinjiang had been under surveillance in northern Xinjiang for more than 20 years after the death of the king regent and general Ouyang. For so many years, what supported them was only the belief in revenge for the king regent and general Ouyang.

The emperor is not benevolent, and he punishes and kills the loyal, so naturally everyone can get it.The dog emperor was cautious in defense, and it was not too late to take the knife on his most valued son first.

The bravest servant who followed Mu Jingqing leaped in the air, found the target in a short while, and slashed down in the air, determined to take down Ze Wang Muyao's head.

At the critical moment, Mu Yao blew a strange whistle, "Where are the Twelve Secret Guards? Don't do anything yet!"

As his words fell, the situation reversed, and the men and horses hiding in the dark all showed their weapons and began to fight.

And the big knife that slashed at Mu Yao had no chance to hurt him at all after Mu Yao uttered his voice.The person holding the knife was hit in the back of the heart with a palm in mid-air, and died instantly.

A massacre officially kicked off. When the Twelve Secret Guards gradually reversed their trend and approached, Mu Jingqing pushed Hong Dan away, retreated on horseback, and followed her Northern Xinjiang soldiers to escort her to escape.

Mu Jingning was pregnant and had limited mobility, so she forced herself to go to the battlefield, but she couldn't trust Mu Jingqing and the troops from Beijiang.

Seeing that she was about to fall, the people around her immediately stepped forward to protect her.But the enemy was in front of him, so he had to protect her from being hurt by the enemy's troops first, and then it was a bit slow to pick her up.

At this time, a maid who was brought by Hong Dan jumped out, and galloped a few steps forward to support her lower back to prevent her from falling.

Mu Jingning spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around and looked at the cold eyes of the person behind her in disbelief, "Fourth Sister!"

Her lower back was pierced by the dagger in the hands of the people behind her, and her stomach throbbed. The blood left behind her waist, staining her light blue clothes red.After the terrible pain in her stomach, there was a sticky feeling between her legs, she closed her eyes, and her tears remained.Her third child could not be kept.

"Second sister, being served by this palace is worthy of this value." The fourth princess pulled out the knife in her body, and when she saw the person protecting Hong Dan, she rushed over and put the knife under Hong Dan's neck. "I am the fourth princess of Daliang, the concubine the prince is marrying, who dares to touch me?"

"Concubine Hong, please let go of Miss Hong. The king has orders not to hurt Miss Hong. We can protect you and return to southern Xinjiang."

"Jiulang has long been in love, but it's too late. There is the most poisonous Baibudian in southern Xinjiang on the knife, and only I have the antidote. If you don't want her to die, let me get out of the way." The fourth princess ruled Hongdan , retreating towards the enemy step by step.

There were more than [-] people in the twelve dark guards, and the war became more and more permanent, gradually killing all the forces in the northern and southern borders.

"You...you are from Mu Yao!" Hong Dan took a breath, "I underestimated you. I thought you were conspiring with my second brother, but I didn't expect you to seek skin with a tiger."

"Second sister, you are not much smarter than your second brother." The fourth princess sarcastically said, "Do you really think that this palace has no schemes?"

"Fourth sister, it is also fate that you and I serve a husband together. You must have heard of it before marrying and obeying your husband. Even if your husband is doing big things now, even if you can't help, you shouldn't stop me. Back then, my sister's child was my negligence, and my sister also reported it. As long as my sister protects me and returns to southern Xinjiang, I will definitely call my sister Wang Shangzun my queen." Mu Jingning gasped and said softly, with a strange gleam in her eyes.

"The second sister still doesn't understand that I have never been pregnant from the beginning to the end. And if I don't believe you, I will let you go." The fourth princess endured the pain, shook her hand, and stabbed the tip of the knife into the mouth. Mu Jingning's neck ended her life, "Third brother, I will live up to my trust, please tell my father, I will be a member of Liang in this life!"

"Fourth Sister!" Mu Yao watched as the two women who were less than twenty steps away from him fell to the ground.

As Mu Jingning fell to the ground, the fourth princess also fell forward.There is a golden hairpin stuck in her belly.The blood has been bleeding for a long time, and beside her is the second princess Mu Jingning, her sister who died with regret.

Mu Yao ordered people to contain the bodies of the two princesses, and ordered to kill all the remaining evils in the area.And when the eldest princess fled, the dark guards who followed to chase after the war also recovered the embarrassing eldest princess.

In this battle, King Ying was completely forgotten by King Ze, and the middle army who cleaned the battlefield found King Ying who was unconscious.

When the two sides confronted each other, he was beaten to death by the eldest princess's subordinates and fell to the ground.Later, accidents happened frequently, and there was no time to worry about it.In addition, the people from the [-]th Department of the Dark Guard acted so quickly that they didn't even give the other party a chance to blackmail King Ze with him again.

After Mu Yao handed over the eldest princess and the King of England to Division A, which was the best at defending among the twelve divisions of the dark guard, he took the rest of his troops and went south to rescue Xin Yin's army.

After Xin Yin persisted for fifteen days, he arrived at Mu Yao who was accompanied by the twelve dark guards.The addition of nearly ten thousand Anbu twelve guards instantly reversed the situation of the battle.

The world knows that each of the Anbu Twelve Guards has 100 members, but no one has ever known that this rule has been broken since Emperor Rui came to power.For more than 20 years, he has been secretly stationed troops.

Daliang's palace, Luocheng, is close to the dragon's veins of Daliang.The Mu family made their fortune there, and they still stationed troops there after the founding of the People's Republic of China.The most elite talents in each generation were sent to the royal family of Yujing, where they were trained by the prince who stayed in Beijing, and became the secret guards who commanded and inquired and defended against assassinations.

Back then in the Los Angeles Palace, Emperor Rui personally had the most secret purpose to secretly take the troops who had been stationed in the army to Nanluo.

Forcing the Du family to hand over Nanluo Thirteen Commanderies was just to set up troops in the secret place of Nanluo Thirteen Commanderies as a cover.At the critical moment, all the forces in northern and southern Xinjiang were wiped out.

And the Twelve Divisions of the Dark Guards did not disappoint Emperor Rui. After all, there were only 3 generals in southern Xinjiang, and the Twelve Divisions of the Dark Guards were mostly strong generals who could stand against a hundred. Dismount with the horse.

Of course, before he was killed, he had already been hit by Xin Bu's most vicious thousand-step killing.

After the war, Xin Yin took over the military power of the Twelve Secret Guards and the Central Route Army from Mu Yao, and ordered the Twelve Dark Guards to continue going south to find traces of the West Route Army.The rest of the troops all retreated to the border station, rectified and rested before making plans.

Of the 2.5 troops of the Eastern Route Army, only 1 were left after the miasma, poisonous poison and war damage.Together with the 4000 troops of the Central Route Army, they returned to the border station.

After Xin Yin reorganized his troops, he reported the situation of the battle with the [-]-li accelerated report.And Mu Yao also informed the eighth prince, the chief of the secret guards in Beijing, about the situation of the king of England and the three princesses through the forces of the thirteen counties of Nanluo.

Since he sent the message to the Eight Princes, it meant that he had completely given up the battle for the throne, and stood in the queue of the Prince Liu in Beijing to take over the clan's mansion in the future.

He thought very clearly that the King of England had lost the support of the army after this battle in southern Xinjiang.Coupled with the death of the fourth princess, no matter how forgiving his father is, he will never reuse his second brother again.Waiting for the king's line will be the emperor's suppression.

And as an elderly prince, he also knew the secrets of the Twelve Secret Guards. The royal family has no father and son. It is not impossible for his father to put people to death for his own power.Only by joining his eighth uncle's sect can he keep himself and seek benefits for his mother, concubine and sixth brother.

On the third day after Xin Yin and Mu Yao respectively delivered the news to Beijing, the twelve commanders of the dark guards came back, bringing back with them the head of the King of Nanjiang and 6000 troops from the West Route Army.

King Jiulang of Southern Xinjiang lost his life before he sat on the throne.The battle with the eldest prince had already made life difficult for the people in Southern Xinjiang. After the death of the general who protects the country, the people of Southern Xinjiang were filled with righteous indignation, and uprisings continued in various places.The four princesses who stayed in Nanjiang cooperated with the West Route Army and opened the city gate long ago, allowing the Twelve Secret Guards to successfully invade the royal city, slaughtering all the lives of the Nanjiang royal family, and at the same time taking down the Nanjiang king. If the head of the southern border country is destroyed, it is a matter of course.

Xin Yin submitted the booklet again, reporting the latest battle situation, and asking how to arrange matters in southern Xinjiang after the war.

Xin Yin's book had not yet been issued, but the emperor's decree was delivered first.The emperor ordered General Chen to temporarily take the Chen family army to station at the southern border, and Xin Yin stayed behind with the twelve secret guards.

At the same time, the emperor ordered King Ze to return to Yujing with the 6000 surviving troops from the Gyeonggi camp.The message from the Eight Kings pointed out that Mu Yao was required to bring back the three princesses and the King of England on the way back to Beijing.The first department of the dark guards went to southern Xinjiang, but the troops of the Xin department had to send the imperial concubine Huaijia.

After six months of war in southern Xinjiang, it finally came to an end in July of the 6th year of Xijia.
