Dream Broken You Pavilion

Capital

The night is a bit noisy, the sound of the wind mixed with the "squeak" of the leaves, one after another, it is very harmonious with this early winter solar terms.

Amidst the noise, a black figure quietly approached the General's Mansion, looked around for no one, raised his hand and patted the door "pa, papa".

After a while, the door was opened a crack, and the servant inside the door met him, and quickly moved out of the way, and the black shadow flashed in...

Hei Ying went straight to Xiao Han's bedroom with familiarity.The dim moonlight reflected on the black shadow's face, it was Shen Guyi, the nephew of Fan Qirui, the magistrate of Xuande Prefecture.

When Shen Guyi arrived at the door of Xiao Han's bedroom, he saw that the room was as dark as ink. It seemed that Xiao Han had already fallen asleep. Should the door be opened or not?While hesitating, the door suddenly opened by itself, and a hand stretched out from the crack, grabbing his front...

Shen Guyi was caught off guard by a hand and was dragged into the bedroom forcibly, his heart stopped beating for an instant, his feet staggered, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

"I knew it was you", Xiao Han's tepid and extremely magnetic voice came from next to his ear.

Shen Guyi tried his best to open his eyes wide, and saw Xiao Han's extremely handsome face close at hand through the gloomy moonlight that penetrated through the window paper.

"Major General, please let me go first."

Xiao Han let go of his hand and asked, "Have they met?"

Shen Guyi smiled "hehe", while stretching out his hand to smooth the front of his shirt, he replied:

"Major General predicts things like a god, Yan Luo Miaohe, the iron face, entered Situ's mansion as soon as he arrived in Haishi."

"What did they say?" Xiao Han asked in a deep voice.

"Sure enough, Miao He couldn't wait any longer. He wanted Situ Junnan to do it, and the time was set on the sixteenth of this month. He promised Situ that once he was done, he would be given the post of general. After the spies came to report, I rushed over without stopping. .but......"

Shen Guyi paused for a moment, and said again: "However, I haven't had time to tell my uncle about this matter, if there are other situations, Shen Gu will report immediately."

Xiao Han nodded secretly when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said to himself: "This month is the sixteenth day, today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, so it is expected..."

Shen Guyi stared at Xiao Han's flickering eyes in the dark, and said in a low voice:

"Since the major general has already expected it, he must have already prepared for it?"

There was a short silence.

In the darkness, Xiao Han quietly watched Shen Guyi's eyes, and said:

"Brother Shen Gu, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"Ah?" Shen Guyi thought that he had heard wrongly, seeing his calm and tepid expression, he couldn't help becoming anxious:

"I can't wait to drink tea. Major General, you have an idea. You can just tell me what to do."

Seeing his anxious look, Xiao Han smiled, and said calmly:

"Brother Shen Gu is a businessman. He has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, nor has he ever participated in a war. Now that the war is approaching, there is still time for Brother Shen Gu to withdraw and protect himself."

Hearing these words, Shen Guyi frowned and clenched his fists, his piercing eyes were shining brightly, and he said in a rather firm tone:

"Although Shen Guyi has no great ambitions, he is by no means mediocre. Now that Shen Guyi's ambitions are clear, there is no reason to turn back. Whenever the Major General gives an order, Shen Guyi will definitely help him with all his strength. There is a shortage of manpower, Shen Gu still has hundreds of brothers here, but they are dispatched by the Major General."

Shen Guyi's words touched Xiao Han's heart greatly, "Brother Shen Gu is indeed a man with an open mind and a bright heart, but with his words from the bottom of his heart, he is worthy of being the rare best friend of this general in his life. "

A trace of embarrassment floated on his cheeks, Shen Guyi nodded slightly, and replied: "I am ashamed, my uncle is weak and unable to fight against Situ Junnan, which led to the Xuande Mansion falling into the hands of thieves, my uncle is powerless, now the Major General Now that he has made a move, Shen Gu should do his best, but..."

He paused for a moment, looked up at Xiao Han, and said, "Uncle once said that a promise from the Major General is needed."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Xiao Han looked calm.

Shen Guyi said: "He hopes that the Major General can ensure the safety of the people in the city."

Xiao Han nodded, clasped his fist at Shen Guyi, and said in a low voice: "Master Fan really loves the people like a son, don't worry, this general has his own measure."

Shen Guyi clasped his fists and said: "Brother, I have always respected the major general, the general promises a thousand gold, since that is the case, Shen Gu is relieved, then I will leave first."

Xiao Han raised his forehead and said: "Okay, Brother Shen Gu, go back immediately to find out the news. Xuande Mansion is not far from the capital. If you have anything to do, come and tell me immediately. Be careful on the way."

Shen Guyi cupped his hands and bid farewell: "May the Major General be successful in the first place."

"Definitely! Brother Shen Gu, take care, we will meet later." Xiao Han smiled confidently.

"There will be a period later." Shen Gu said, turned around and left, just took two steps, there was a muffled "bang", but he couldn't tell the direction in the darkness, and bumped his head against the doorpost, he raised his hand embarrassingly to rub the painful pain On the forehead, Xiao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him open the door. Under the escort of his servants, Shen Guyi quietly walked out from the side door, hiding in the dark night...

After Shen Guyi left, Xiao Han took out a letter from the drawer, it was a letter written by the prince, and it was written to Shang Wuyang, the young master of Xiao Yuntian.

Thinking back to what the prince said to him, his eyes gradually narrowed, and in the dark night, he stood motionless for a long time like an old monk in meditation.

Then he quickly returned to the table, lit a candle, folded a piece of paper and tore off a small strip, studied the ink and took a pen, thought for a while, wrote a line of small characters on the strip, and then raised his hand. He carefully dried the ink at his mouth, then rolled the note into a roll, stuffed it into a bamboo tube as thick as a little finger, held it in his hand, opened the window, pressed his lips lightly, and made a very soft whistle. For a moment, a gray-black pigeon flew to the window with fluttering wings and landed in his palm. A smile crossed Xiao Han's lips, and he reached out to caress the small head of the pigeon, and tied the bamboo tube to the pigeon's leg , said in a low voice:

"Little thing, you must deliver this letter to Fulong Mountain. Xiao Yuntian's safety depends entirely on you."

The pigeon seemed to understand it, and responded with two "cuckoos".

"Go." Xiao Han stretched out his arms and sent it upwards lightly. The pigeon flapped its wings with a "thump" and drew a beautiful black arc in the dark night sky. After circling in the sky, Only then gradually went away.

......

Not long after Shen Gu left, Ah Jun stepped in, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and asked:

"What is Shen Gu here for?"

"Why, did you see him?"

"Yes, I saw him on the road in the future, so he must have come to look for the general."

Xiao Han curled his lips and said, "Ah Jun, your eyes are really poisonous. He came to tell me that Iron Face Yan Luo went to see Situ Junnan tonight, and they plan to do it on the [-]th of this month."

Ah Jun thought for a while and said, "On the sixteenth day of this month, I wonder if the old thief will attack Fulong Mountain at the same time? However, why do I feel that this cunning iron-faced Yan Luo is deliberately attracting our attention."

"That's right," Xiao Han replied, "The old thief sent troops to Fulong Mountain, but he didn't move quickly. It's so abnormal that the drunkard didn't mean to drink. He pretended to attack Fulong Mountain, maybe it was just a feint, so that I could lose sight of one thing and lose another. Lack of skills, he has a good plan, hehe..."

Ah Jun said: "Fortunately, the Major General has already taken precautions, otherwise, if we really wait until he attacks Fulong Mountain, we will be beyond our reach."

Xiao Han smiled slightly, "That's right, this general has his own magic weapon, and there is Fangshan's genius doctor to help Shang Wuyang, so I'm not too worried. It seems that everything is under control. Just now I sent a letter to Fu Longshan is gone. But there is one more thing, which is not easy to handle."

Seeing Xiao Han's solemn expression, Ah Jun asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Han let out a long breath, and said: "The prince called me into the palace a few days ago, and he intends to invite businessmen to enter Beijing without Yang."

"Could it be that the crown prince wants to recruit?" Ah Jun asked.

Xiao Han looked at Ah Jun's cold face with no expression, and said with a smile:

"Shang Wuyang seems to be a bit reckless, but in fact he has a lot of brains and courage. I admire him a little bit. The two families, Xiao and Shang, had a good relationship before, but now they have turned their hostility into friendship. He has become the prince's disciple, and he will be with me in the future. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be an official in court? But, do you think Shang Wuyang is willing?"

"I'm afraid high officials and rich salary won't catch Shang Wuyang's eyes." A Jun looked indifferent and answered simply.

Xiao Han said with a smile: "It seems that you didn't live in Fulong Mountain for nothing, and you know Shang Wuyang so well?"

Gently patted Ah Jun on the shoulder, exhaled a long breath, and said:

"I, Xiao Han, was born in a general's family. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child. I know that my efforts are all for defending my family and the country, so I have become a major general. Officialdom, but going around and around, in the end, you can’t follow me to attack blood slaves? Therefore, it’s the same whether you are in officialdom, as long as you have the heart to serve the country, Shang Wuyang is now in order to defend Fulong Mountain, in order to help me He has already done his best to eliminate the blood slave."

"However, since ancient times, emperors have their own set of emperor skills, and the prince is no exception. Speaking of our prince, although he is a virtuous and corporal, he is also suspicious by nature. The so-called 'how can others sleep soundly next to the couch', he will Xiao Yuntian It’s safer to just take it for your own use and keep the things you don’t trust right under your nose.”

Ah Jun said: "It turns out that the Prince's calculation is based on this."

Xiao Han stretched out his hand and touched his shaved smooth chin, "Either he will watch him under his eyelids and work hard for him, or he will simply go to a place where he will never see, or he must have a powerful Only the backing of the mountain can stop the prince's thoughts."

"Sometimes I don't envy his unfettered mountain life. I also take Jing'er away from worldly disputes and live a fairy-like life, but it can't be done."

Ah Jun said: "Because you are a general."

Xiao Han nodded, and said in his heart: I am a general, and since I was born, I was doomed to have a heavy burden on my shoulders, so I lost the opportunity to choose early in the morning. I have no regrets either.

He said in his mouth: "Recruitment depends on Shang Wuyang's own thoughts. No matter what the result is, I believe that this time he will join forces with me, Xiao Han."

Ah Jun murmured: "Fortunately, the crown prince is asking for peace, so it's fine if he doesn't want to. If the emperor calls for peace, then..."

Xiao Han sighed softly, "That's right, if it's really the emperor calling for peace, then there's really no way out."

Ah Jun asked: "Major General, since Fangshan's genius doctor has gone to Fulong Mountain, should we bring the young lady back?"

When Jing'er was mentioned, Xiao Han frowned and said:

"Why do you think I sent both seniors to Fulong Mountain? Iron-faced Yanluo now sees me as a thorn in the side. If Ruojing'er follows me now, I'm afraid she will be harmed instead. Now that the war is about to start, I have no time to take care of her." Let her stay in Fulong Mountain first, Shang Wuyang will definitely send more people to protect them, besides, Senior Xiao and Jing'er can help him, Fulong Mountain must be defended if it is to be defended."

Ah Jun took out a small note from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying:

"This is sent by Man Luo Pai Deshun, take a look."

Xiao Han hurriedly reached out to take the note, and after reading it, his face became serious, and he murmured:

"Man Luo was ordered to go to the border, and the blood slave also intervened in the border war?"

"It seems that this is the last fight." A Jun said.

Xiao Han looked solemn, and asked: "Send someone to deliver this news to the border quickly. The blood slave's usual method is to sneak attack. Let my father and King Yi take precautions."

"Major General, after receiving the letter, the final general sent someone to the border to inform General Dingyuan." Ah Jun's voice was cold.

Xiao Han stared at him deeply, a hint of comfort flashed in his eyes, having such a clever assistant really saved him a lot of worry, he mused:

"The emperor has appointed Pei Zixu to be in charge of the defense of the capital. This is a good thing for us. Although the strength of the capital is stretched, we must cheer up now and don't let the blood slave fish in troubled waters. Ah Jun, go see him , how should I put it, you know."

"General Pei is a man. It's better to fight side by side with people you know than to join forces with people you don't know. The last general will make arrangements."

……

Xiao Han held the note tightly in his hand, closed his eyes lightly, took a deep breath, and fell into deep thought.

In this life-and-death battle, whether it is Leng Shan, Shen Guyi, Shang Wuyang, or Pei Zixu, if you want to have one more true friend, you must trust him wholeheartedly, help him, and fight against the enemy wholeheartedly. A small mistake or selfishness will lead to the failure of the whole plan. It is really not easy to make a comprehensive consideration.
