The night sky of the grassland, the bright stars, and the slender crescent moon seemed to make the entire deep earth covered with a light silver color. In those knee-deep wild leathers, the figures of the herd of animals
Flickering and appearing, some small nocturnal animals finally crawled out of their burrows, happily searching for fresh food in the wild leather. They had completely forgotten that dangerous predators were quietly approaching.
The camp of the Xuanfu Town and Choros Allied Forces stationed in the northeast of Xuanshipo was bustling with noise at the moment. The smoke slowly rose into the sky, and the bright bonfires seemed to also color the sky, revealing a mysterious atmosphere.
The warmth of the stock.
From time to time, groups of Chorus cavalry carried the prey they killed, laughed and roared happily, and rushed out of the camp, making the place appear to be noisy and peaceful, not that kind of
The killing in the military tent.
At this moment, Jiang Fu's mood was completely opposite to that of the noisy and joyful military camp.
"Jiang Wu, take your people and send Eunuch Zhao and his party to the nearby tent to rest. Remember to entertain them with good wine and good food. Don't wait for them. And don't let anyone else know about this.
Do you understand?" Jiang Fu, whose face was as dark as water, looked at the eunuch and his subordinates who were expressing his great hatred, and whispered to the confidants and generals around him.
Seeing the general leave with his orders, Jiang Fu let out a long sigh, but his face was still clouded with gloom, and he didn't feel any joy at all about Lien Zhan and Lianjie. Instead, he seemed to have heard some worrying news.
Slowly and handsomely, he returned to the couch and sat down. He drank the wine on the table in one gulp and stroked his long beard. Jiang Fu was silent for a long time. But at this time, Jiang Fu's confidant was standing in the tent.
Jiang Geng, the family general, asked softly: "Master, are you really prepared to obey His Majesty's will?"
"What can I do if I don't comply?" Jiang Fu grinned, with a look of resentment on his face. The secret decree has been delivered to me. After all, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. How can I still resist and disobey the decree?"
"But sir, please don't forget. The emperor will arrive with his army soon. The court of the Wasi Puppet Khan is already in shaky state. If you..."
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is not a kind person. If I obey the emperor's will, then who knows what kind of changes will happen." Jiang Fu rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment.
His expression was very complicated. "It's a pity that the teacher didn't follow me, otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
"Master, how about we ask General Xiao Yang." Jiang Geng pursed his lips, moved closer, and lowered his voice very low.
"Ask him?" Jiang Fu pondered for a moment. "He is just a small guerrilla general. I..." Before Jiang Fu could finish his words, he heard a report from the soldiers outside the big tent. Yang Xin was visiting, and Jiang Fu
Fu couldn't help but be stunned, wondering what could happen to this guy who came to look for him in the middle of the night?
"My Lord, I heard that envoys from the imperial court have entered the camp. I wonder if this is the case." Yang Xin entered the tent, and after a quick salute, he asked directly.
Jiang Fu, who was about to ask Yang Xin why he was looking for him, couldn't help but freeze, but he quickly realized that he was the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town in the Ming Dynasty. However, how could these soldiers be as loyal to him as they were to his opponents?
Where is Zhu Qizhen?
Thoughts were racing in Jiang Fu's mind, and his face was completely blank. He nodded and pointed to the chair next to him calmly, gesturing for Yang Xin to sit down. "Yes, an envoy from the imperial court did arrive at the camp just now. I
The officer has just received the order and is looking for someone to go find General Yang to discuss it, but I don't want you to come here first."
Yang Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, and after sitting down, he asked: "I wonder why the imperial envoys came to the camp?"
Jiang Fu sighed bitterly: "What else can happen? Isn't it because today's emperor does not like that the generals of the towns obeyed the emperor's edict, ignored the safety of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and led the army to the expedition to Waxi?"
Listening to Jiang Fu describing the contents of the decrees conveyed by the envoys, Yang Xin's eyes kept falling on Jiang Fu's face. After Jiang Fu finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, Mr. General.
Are you confident?"
"What's the chance? It's because of my hesitation that I was just thinking about asking you to come over to discuss it and come up with a charter." Jiang Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Master General, do you want to obey the emperor's will?" After hearing Jiang Fu's answer, the expression on Yang Xin's face could not help but darken. "My lord, please don't forget how much trust your Majesty has in you.
Heavy."
Jiang Fu frowned when he heard these words, and said a little indifferently: "What does General Yang mean by this?"
Yang Xin raised his head, looked at Jiang Fu, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant way: "My lord, please don't forget that seventy-eight out of ten of the Xuanfu elites you led were all recruited after the Emperor took over the Xuanfu.
Recruited, do you think that if you want to go against His Majesty's will, they will agree and be willing to go to Huangshan with you?"
"Yang Xin, don't be too presumptuous." Jiang Fu couldn't help but change his face. Although he still tried his best to suppress his tone, he couldn't hide his deep anger.
"How outrageous, haha, Lord Commander, this is for the sake of your safety." Yang Xin said without fear. "Don't forget, if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, you would still be able to stay here today.
Is he in the position of the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town?"
Looking at Jiang Fu's gloomy face, Yang Xin continued: "If you really betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, what do you think will happen to you due to His Majesty's temper..."
Yang Xin did not say any more, or in other words, there was no need to say something too clearly, because he could see the fear in Jiang Fu's heart from Jiang Fu's gradually whitening face.
After a long silence, Jiang Fu spoke again: "But now, the emperor's decree has been conveyed to me. If I don't comply, the next time I come, I won't be the envoy announcing the decree." The voice said.
He was hoarse and low-pitched, but Hua Zhi placed his hands on the table and repeatedly made fists, exposing his innermost feelings.
Yang Xin's face was still not moved at all, and he said calmly: "General, I heard that the Puppet Khan of Waqi sent envoys to our capital of the Ming Dynasty many times in the hope of being able to present letters of credence for peace. However, they encountered unidentified people one after another.
Bandits, all the troops from the nine sides are in Geyuan now, and there is great chaos in Geyuan. No one knows whether these envoys have reached Geyuan."
After hearing these words, Jiang Fu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, stared at Yang Xin for a long time, and said in a serious voice for a long time: "...This is a serious crime of treason."
"I just heard about it, and I don't know who did it. I just want to tell the commander-in-chief that if you want to betray His Majesty the Emperor, your end will be worse than what you did today. Farewell!" Yang Xin took a deep breath!
After taking a breath, he stood up, said these words, and walked straight to the tent.
At this time, Jiang Fu's soldiers who were originally waiting inside and outside the tent had gathered around, all staring at Yang Xin with evil expressions. However, Yang Xin didn't even pause, and just knocked away the man blocking the way.
The two soldiers of Jiang Fu in front of him walked away.
"Master, look." Jiang Geng turned his head and looked at Jiang Fu, whose face was hidden in the darkness.
"Let him go, Yang Xin, this kid, he never does anything he's not sure about, haha,
Maybe, His Majesty the Emperor kept him under my command just to let this kid keep an eye on me. Killing him will not help, not to mention, if I really betrayed the Supreme Emperor..." Jiang Fu paused at this point.
After he finished speaking, a trace of unspeakable fear flashed across his face. After a while, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief, then raised his head and whispered instructions to Jiang Geng in this way.
Jiang Geng gritted his teeth, nodded fiercely, raised his head, signaled the other soldiers with his eyes, and then exited the tent together.
And Jiang Fu closed his eyes with a tired look on his face, and let out a sigh of approval in the silent tent. In a military tent a dozen tents away from Jiang Fu's tent,
When Yang Xin saw Jiang Fu's soldiers carrying waist knives and heading towards the tents where the envoys who came to deliver the message were resting, Yang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and faced the people behind him.
The person whispered: "It seems that Jiang Fu is really as easy to be influenced by others as His Majesty the Emperor said."
"Fortunately, he was persuaded by you, otherwise, he would definitely die. His Majesty once said that what he hates to see the most is this kind of betrayal without faith." The voice of the person behind Yang Xin seemed a little hoarse and dull.
It was low, and when the man raised his head, the flash of firelight reflected on his face, and his face was clearly revealed. It was the head of the guard next to Zhu Qizhen:
