Nanyan, capital city, Guanggu.
A Han Chinese mansion in the west of the city looks very different from the Xianbei-style tents that are everywhere in the city. This fortress-type city was built in the late Western Jin Dynasty. For nearly a hundred years, the city has been changing the king's flag and entering
The people who dominate this city are often the powerful Hu warlords who control the land of Qilu. From Cao Yi to Shi Hu to Murong Ke, countless Hu people trampled on this city with iron hooves, soaking it in blood and fire until
Five years ago, Murong De took control of Qingzhou and established Nanyan. This land ushered in a brief period of stability. However, as these long-abandoned Han family houses found new owners, the city began to feel uneasy again.
Already.
In the main hall of this house, the guests and hosts sat opposite each other. Liu Jingxuan, with a gloomy face, sat at the main seat, while Gao Yazhi and Sima Xiuzhi sat at the guest seats on the left, and Murong Lan, who was wrapped in a Xianbei-style leather robe, sat at the other side.
In the first position on the right, sandalwood curls up, giving off an unspeakable weird atmosphere.
Murong Lan's beautiful eyes moved, she looked at Liu Jingxuan, and said calmly: "Ah Shou, it's been a year since you came to Guanggu, but are you still adapting to the life here?"
Liu Jingxuan said expressionlessly: "A bereaved dog, a person who has left the country, was taken in by the princess and is just surviving, so what's the point of adapting? I am a soldier. Only in the army can I feel accustomed to it."
Murong Lan frowned slightly: "Ah Shou, you still can't let go?"
Liu Jingxuan's fists gradually clenched: "How can I let go of the hatred for killing my father, the hatred of leaving the country, and the sworn hatred? How can I let go of the hatred of destroying the country now, Alan, and don't want to fight back to Hebei?"
Murong Lan sighed softly: "Some things cannot be solved now, just like what you said about the Northern Expedition to Hebei. Now that Nan Yan has just been established, everything is waiting to be done. There is no way to carry out such a war again. I
I heard that you met my imperial brother a while ago and wanted to invite Ying to fight. Is this true?"
Gao Yazhi quickly said: "Yes, this is true, but we want to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Murong Lan softly said "Oh": "Is it really the Northern Expedition?"
Sima Xiuzhi curled his lips: "Princess, everything we said is true. You have been away recently. Originally, we wanted to find you to express this meaning, but..."
Murong Lan shook her head: "Although I am not here, my eyes and ears are still here. I am here today just for this matter. I hope we can be honest with each other."
Liu Jingxuan suddenly said in a deep voice: "Okay, Princess Lan, I won't hide it from you. Yes, we are looking for your brother to fight Huanxuan, not the Northern Wei Dynasty. Is there anything we can't do? Let's do this.
, I am also trying to save my old brother from Beifu. If I don’t take action, I’m afraid that Ji Nu and Xi Le will also die in the hands of this traitor!”
Murong Lan looked at Liu Jingxuan: "Can hatred make you so blinded that you would not even hesitate to bring an alien army to destroy your motherland? Ah Shou, I almost don't recognize you anymore!"
Liu Jingxuan said coldly: "In order to take revenge, I can do anything. Back then, Wu Zixu could lead Wu soldiers to destroy Chu to avenge his father and brother. In the end, he was happy with his revenge and whipped the king of Chu to death. This is what a man should do!"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "You'd better not worry about revenge all day long. It's not good for you or any of you. Now there are quite a few Xianbei generals in Nanyan who have objections to you. If you insist on
My imperial brother has raised an army, but I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you for too long. We are all smart people, so I won't say more. I'll just say this. I hope you can take care of yourself."
As she spoke, she stood up and was about to leave. Liu Jingxuan suddenly said from behind her: "Sister-in-law, wait a minute."
Murong Lan stood there without looking back, and said coldly: "Are you willing to call me sister-in-law now? Do you think of your brother Jinnu?"
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "How are the slaves and others doing now? You have refused to tell us this year. Today, at least you should reveal some information, so as to save us from thinking wildly all day long."
Murong Lan shook his head: "He is very good now, and the other Beifu brothers are also very good. He asked me to take good care of you, and if there is a chance, I will send you back to the country. I can only say so much. But I believe that this day
, it won’t be too long. There are a lot of things that I need to do here in Nanyan recently, and it is unlikely that I will stay in Guanggu forever. If anything happens, just come to my house to find Shuang'er."
She said, strode forward, and soon she was out of the courtyard.
A complex look flashed across Liu Jingxuan's face, and he murmured: "Why, why even now, she still refuses to tell us the truth?"
Gao Yazhi sneered: "She is the princess of Yan after all, so how could she possibly let us know about the rebellion of Jinu and others?"
Liu Jingxuan bit his lip tightly: "Yazhi, what is the purpose of that person who has been contacting you, and what does he want to do?"
A terrifying flame flashed in Gao Yazhi's eyes: "This man has absolutely no ill intentions towards me. He was the one who saved me when I was in the demon thief's camp. He said that he and our father were old friends, but
Because of his ideals, he did not join the Beifu Army with them back then, but stayed in Qidi. He had many eyes and ears, and was very capable. He asked the slaves to raise an army and seize Jiankang within five days. Do you still think about it now?
Do you want to be suspicious?"
Liu Jingxuan said bitterly: "I just regret that we couldn't help the slave at that time. Yazhi, I have decided to ask your friends to help us go back. At this time, the slave needs our help!"
Gao Yazhi suddenly laughed: "Are you going back like this? Ah Shou, Xiuzhi, are you willing?"
Sima Xiuzhi opened his eyes wide: "If you don't go back, are you going to eat here and wait to die for the rest of your life?"
Gao Yazhi raised his eyebrows: "Of course not, what I mean is to strike first, kill Murong Beide, recruit Nan Yan's troops, and then, openly and honestly, go back with thousands of troops to meet with the slaves and the others.
!”
Sima Xiuzhi was holding a cup to drink kumiss. This time, a mouthful of wine spurted out, and the cup fell to the table in front. He didn't bother to wipe the wine on his body and shouted: "Ya Zhi, are you crazy?"
Gao Yazhi shook her head: "No, I'm not crazy. Compared with the feat of sending slaves and others to raise an army of more than a thousand people and destroy Huan Chu in five days, is this plan crazy?"
Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "When we were in trouble, Murong Beide took us in. Isn't it too much for you to repay kindness with enmity? A real man shouldn't do such a thing."
Gao Yazhi sneered and said: "This is the request of my friend. He is a powerful local in Qingzhou, but his family was destroyed because of Murong Beide's invasion. Murong Beide took us in not because of his kindness, but because he wanted us to help fight the war. But
Now because of the opposition of the old general of Xianbei, we are under house arrest like this. Our life and death depend on his whim. If he really wants to kill us, it will be too late to take action! How did our father die?
Have you forgotten?!"
