When everyone came out of the Palace of King Yan, they saw Murong Jun taking off his armor and naked, and had been kneeling outside the palace for a long time. The weather was cold at this time, and it started to snow lightly. He was already shivering while walking outside, let alone kneeling on the cold stone slabs.
superior.
King Yan's anger had not subsided at this moment, and everyone walked by him without speaking, and just went to the outer court.
Uncle Ping came and said to King Yan: "Your Majesty, Murong Jun has been kneeling outside all night. It's freezing cold now, so I'm afraid something might happen due to the cold."
"If you don't listen to military orders, you have already made a big mistake. It is reasonable to ask for military justice. Now I will not pursue it. If he wants to kneel, let him go." The pearls on the flat crown were trembling, and King Yan was very upset in his heart.
Uncle Ping had no choice but to retreat. The frightened deer in the courtyard kept beating on you, and it was extremely quiet. The night was getting deeper and the sky was getting colder. Murong Jun gradually couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground with a "clang".
The chamberlain next to him was very anxious and quickly reported to Uncle Ping: "Old chamberlain, that General Yangwei fell to the ground, should you report it to King Yan first..."
"It's important to save people. Hurry up and move into the inner room. Jiang Tang will take care of you. If your Majesty asks, I will bear the responsibility." Uncle Ping couldn't help but summon the servant below and quickly move Murong Jun into the inner room.
The sky in the east is getting brighter, a morning glow is about to burst out, and there are a few jackdaws in the distance. The morning in the north comes very late. I have been dealing with political affairs all night these days, and my mind is disturbed. King Yan has issued an order to cancel the morning court today, and it is rare to miss the court.
day.
The palace lanterns that had been lit all day and night were extinguished, and the charcoal fire in the furnace in the inner room was burned out. King Yan also felt a chill.
"Uncle Ping, look how Murong Jun is doing outside the house?" King Yan's resentment gradually dissipated after a night.
"Your Majesty, General Jianwei fainted from the cold. The old slave made an independent decision and helped him into a side room to rest. He has a high fever at the moment and has ordered someone to give him some decoction. Your Majesty, please cure the old slave's crime of arbitrarily judging."
After the officer finished speaking, he bowed to the ground.
King Yan sighed, "What's wrong with you? You've served all night, so you went down to have a rest and let your servants take you to see how Murong Jun is doing."
King Yan followed the man to the side room, where Murong Jun had fallen into a deep sleep, with only a maid serving beside him. The incense burner was lit, and the smoke was lingering. There were heavy tents and thick curtains all around. The flames in the heater were faintly visible, and the room was extremely warm. But
Murong Jun's face was pale, he must have suffered from the severe cold, his face was white, the three burners were blocked, and he was slow to come out. The maid was about to take the decoction, when she saw King Yan coming in, she hurriedly knelt down and was about to salute. King Yan signaled her not to come out.
He made a sound, took the soup bowl, and gave Murong Jun the medicine to take.
Murong Jun was unconscious and groggy at this time. After drinking the decoction, his expression gradually recovered. Then he slowly opened his eyes. He saw King Yan sitting on the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but feel guilty and wanted to get up to apologize.
"Brother Army, please don't get up. It's better to rest." He said and handed the decoction to his mouth.
"Brother Wang, I was confused for a moment. I am eager to perform meritorious service. I, I deserve death for my crime." Murong Jun had tears in his eyes.
"Brother Jun, please don't say any more, drink the medicine first." King Yan looked relaxed, lifted his back, and slowly handed the medicine to his mouth.
After a while, perhaps due to a pharmacological attack, Murong Jun's face gradually turned rosy and he regained his energy.
"Brother Jun, I just want to ask, I have always known that you are brave enough, but you don't have enough thought, so you have no intention of attacking. Who is the one who does it?" King Yan asked slowly.
"Brother Wang, it's all my fault. I was greedy for success and ignored my brother's instructions. It's me, it's me." After speaking, Murong Jun looked up to the sky and sighed, closing his eyes.
"Brother Jun, it doesn't matter if you don't want to make it clear. Let me just say it now, the country, the country and the country of Yan are the most important thing in everything. Don't be used by traitors, get carried away for a moment, and regret the rest of your life." King Yan sighed,
"There is not much left of my generation in the Murong family. A few days ago, Tuoba Shiyijian ordered someone to tell me that my solitary sister Dai Wangfei has died. Now only Murong Han, Pingdi, Biaodi and
You are gone. In the past few years, my brothers were fighting against each other, my peers were withering away, and I felt lonely and desolate."
"Ahem, King Yan, now that Yuwen is powerful, my brother has made a big mistake. What can I do about it?" Murong Jun asked, pulling King Yan's sleeve.
The King of Yan told him in detail what they had discussed last night. After hearing this, Murong Jun stood up and said, "Brother Wang, thank you for not giving up. I am willing to lead the army again and be the vanguard of our army. Even if I risk my life, I will protect our country of Yan."
No worries."
"I already know the meaning of brother Jun. You should rest well. Brother Han's bravery is second to none of Yuwen's, and he is also the leader of Ke'er. Ba'er has both wisdom and courage, so he can be worthy of a big job. You can rest assured and rest." King Yan turned around and was about to leave.
go.
But he saw Murong Jun holding King Yan's hand and saying: "King Yan, what I'm worried about is Ba'er. Ba'er is still young and can easily break if he goes too far. Moreover, he wants to be friends with Uncle Wang, Liu Pei and Gao Xu.
I'm afraid..."
King Yan slowly helped him down and said, "Brother Jun, as long as we in the Yan army act according to military orders, Ba'er will be fine."
I saw Murong Jun holding King Yan's hand tighter, "Brother Wang, things in the army are changing rapidly and are unpredictable. Even if I am sick and disabled, I can keep my nephew Murong Ba safe."
Murong Jun couldn't sleep anymore, so he stood up and said to King Yan, "The talents of the younger generations are rare. If there is any mistake, the country will lose its pillar." After saying this, he knelt down and bowed to King Yan.
"It is a blessing to our army, Yan, that our military brother has such a heart to support the younger generation. In this case." King Yan insisted on letting Murong Jun lie on the bed, "You and Murong Ba will lead this partial division together, so it is convenient to take care of it."
A long-lost smile appeared on Murong Jun's face. The morning light spread across the floor and entered the room directly from the window in the east chamber. The room was very bright.
"Thank you, King Yan."
"Brother Army, hurry up and recuperate. The army will set off soon, so don't delay." After saying this, King Yan and his attendants left the side hall and left.
On that day, everyone finished discussing the matter and returned to camp. Now Murong Ba also has his own personal guard tribe. Murong Ba is young and talented, and his mother's family is the Xiongnu clan. He is also favored by his father. His tribe is more energetic than others.
And tolerance includes not only Xianbei people, but also Han people, Xiongnu, Fuyu, etc.
When Murong Ba returned to his station, he ordered his general Gao Bi to prepare weapons and equipment early, gather the officers and men of each battalion, and rest as soon as possible in preparation for the expedition.
But Gao Bi said: "General, the people in the camp have been fighting hard for many days this year, and they are all tired. With such continuous conquests, I am afraid that something will happen."
"Did you hear any discussion today?"
"It's nothing more than that Yuwen is powerful and cannot be taken lightly. If it is not our country, Yan, there is no need to fight so hard. It is not the right way for our Yan army to seize people and property, and so on."
"Gao Bi gave the order. In an hour, all the battalions will gather at the Lieutenant Colonel Field. I will personally lecture the officers and soldiers in the battalion."
"Murong Ba, is this appropriate?" Gao Bi asked in confusion.
"Our Yan State is established in the north. It relies on the unity of the generals and clear rewards and punishments. If not for this, how could our Yan State gradually merge from a small country to the land of Pingzhou? You have no doubts, just pass the order."
"That being the case, I accept your orders." Gao Bi retreated and ordered all battalions to assemble at the school grounds.
At this time, the flags of the Japanese army were fluttering in the wind, and the soldiers of each battalion were in uniform, and the only sound they could hear was the breathing of the horses.
Murong Ba proudly climbed onto the high platform, and the lieutenants who joined the army were lined up on the left and right. Murong Ba glanced at the military formations under the high platform, and he couldn't help but feel happy. Gao Bi was indeed capable and trained his troops well, and he did not embarrass me, Murong Ba.
Murong Ba calmed down and said: "Commanders and officers in the army, it is the end of the year. Among the officers and men, there are fathers who have young children waiting to be fed at home. There are sons who have old men to serve at home. Some of them have promised to marry each other.
Yes, I'm just waiting for the wedding night." After saying that, he looked towards the back of the school grounds and said, "Xiao Dai, I heard that your wife is so lucky that she has the honor of being a woman shy of the moon." Everyone laughed, but that person was also embarrassed.
Then Murong Ba said seriously: "Why did I, Murong Yan, go on an expedition this time? Although Yu Wen did not invade, he did many evil things. Is there any house in the northern border city that was not plundered by him? I think of the late king Murong Xin, and Yu Wen begged for a tortoise.
They attacked our border city and plundered it. Every household was deserted. The children lost their mothers, the wives lost their fathers, and the old mothers lost their young children. No one can forget this."
After hearing this, all the northern soldiers in the army felt sad and couldn't help but shed tears.
"I thought that just after my father came to the throne, there was Murong Ren's rebellion. Outside, Duanbu, Shizhao, and Yuwen families attacked our Jicheng City. They resisted desperately, and the enemy retreated. However, all the farms, real estate, houses and villages were destroyed. Isn't it true?
It’s Yuwen’s fault.”
There was a lot of discussion among the soldiers, and the soldier who was joking just now was the first to shout: "Swear to follow the general and destroy Yuwen."
In the army in the school field, a mountain cry was uttered, "Swear to follow the general."
Gao Bi whispered to Murong Ba: "Soldiers really can use their heart.".
Murong Ba also nodded slightly, and then he saw Murong Ba pull out his sword and point it at the sky: "Now our Yan country wants to pacify the northern border, but only Yuwen is left. Now that the world is in chaos, how can the Yan country be alone and independent from the thieves?
.Commanders of the Yan army, in this battle to destroy Yuwen, I, Murong Ba, will drive the soldiers and soldiers, everyone follow me. I will destroy Yuwen and rejuvenate the Yan Kingdom."
"Destroy Yuwen and prosper the Yan Kingdom" Everyone was infected by Murong Ba.
On the high platform, Murong Ba saw two women standing outside the camp gate from a distance. He took a closer look and found that one of them was Duan Xian.
After the shouting, Murong Ba said goodbye to all the soldiers and went only to those two people.
"Murong Ba is so powerful, no wonder he made my aunt so addicted." I heard a woman next to Duan Xian say directly.
"Duan Yuan, what are you talking about?" Duan Xian couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Auntie, you've lost weight these past few days after eating and drinking. It turns out it's him. He's really very brave when you see him now." Duan Yuan teased.
"Oh, if your aunt wants to see me, she can come anytime." Murong Ba leaned down and raised Duan Yuan above his head.
"Murong Ba, let her down quickly." Duan Xian didn't care about the underskirt and soap silk he was wearing, and his waist was swaying in mid-step.
"Mr. Duan, you are also wearing the attire of our Yan Kingdom." Murong Ba smiled and said, "In the future, if you can have four nobles and two ninties, I will drink with you."
Duan listened first, his cheeks were rosy, he felt ashamed and happy at the same time.
"Aunt, this is my first time sitting on this general's shoulder. Please let me sit a little longer."
"You little brat, I agreed to take you out for a ride, but you just got me into trouble."
"Don't ask for it. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to get out." Duan Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Murong Ba suddenly felt strange after hearing this. He put her down and asked, "Are you encountering any difficulties?"
"Indeed, no." After Duan Xian finished speaking, he took the fox fur from the bag and put it on Murong Ba. "It's bitterly cold in the north. You must take care of yourself."
"Little sister Duan Yuan, what did you say just now that you can't get out?" Murong Ba leaned down and asked Duan Yuan.
"The whole Jicheng City knows that you like my aunt. Gongsun didn't want my aunt to come into contact with you. This time, he went to Longxiang Temple to offer incense to the late Duan Liao in order to leave the city. "
"Shang Xiang?" Murong Ba was puzzled.
"I hope this is the custom of Western India. The Western Bodhisattva and Dharma King are very efficacious. In today's Shizhao and Jin Dynasties, there are many Buddhist temples. In the Yan Kingdom, Jialan was also established and Longxiang Temple was built on Longshan. I heard that it is very efficacious."
"I hope so." After saying that, Murong Bayou leaned over and turned to Duan Yuan and said, "Do you think it would be good for me to marry your aunt?"
But I heard Duan Yuan sigh: "Oh, my aunt is still lucky, but it's a pity that I can't find such a husband."
"You little girl, you are getting more and more outrageous." Duan Xian wanted to hit Duan Yuan.
"Uncle, help me." After saying that, he hid behind Murong Ba and made faces only towards Duan Xian.
The three of them were having fun when Gao Bi came over. Seeing that Duan Xian was also there, he bowed his hands and said, "Hello, Mrs. Sister-in-law."
"Murong Ba, all your men are making fun of the slave family." Although Duan Xiansheng was sulky, his face was not annoyed.
Murong Ba didn't take it seriously. He touched the little girl Yuan's nose and said, "Your aunt has such a strong temper. It seems that only I can deal with her." Then he changed his expression and asked Gao Bi, "What are you doing this time?" Why did you come here?"
But he saw Gao Bi kneeling on one knee, raising his arms and clasping his hands, "We are going to destroy Yuwen now. The situation is urgent. Why is my name not on the expedition list? General, do you think you are looking down on me? I am very dissatisfied." Only Gao Bi was seen. Bi angrily said, his hands trembling a little.
"Gao Bi, please get up quickly." Murong Ba helped him up, "The enemy's force is huge in this battle, and there may be something unexpected. The outcome is very close to victory. I don't want to lead you on the expedition, but the battlefield is actually dangerous."
"Murong Ba, you are all official now. You want to make it so that in the past, when you and I worked together, we were in even more danger than we are today. Why don't you just want to monopolize this place if you give up today?" He is afraid that I will take the honor of destroying the country." Gao Bi was very angry.
"Gao Bi," Murong Ba hesitated before saying, "it's actually because of your father's trust, I have no choice but to follow it."
Gao Bi remained silent after hearing this.
Seeing this, Murong Ba said slowly: "Your father has chosen to be the vanguard this time. His swords are silent and the military is changeable. If both father and son are in the army, your father will be uneasy. In addition, you are about to become an adult now. At home, there are uncles and The other disciples are all young. If something happens to you, how will the Gao family deal with it?" Murong Ba held his shoulders firmly with both hands, "You and I were familiar with the Warring States Policy when we were studying in Xiang. You should know that Lord Xinling stole it. The story of Fu saving Zhao."
"When both father and son are in the army, the father returns home. When both brothers are in the army, the elder brother returns home. When an only son has no brothers, he returns home to be raised." Gao Bi murmured.
"Yes, the future of our army is uncertain now, so please let me lead the army with peace of mind, like an arm and a finger."
"My dear brother, listen to General Murong Ba's words. A wise man should not compete for a moment's gain, but an ordinary man should not compete for a moment's courage." Duan Xian couldn't help but say when he saw the two people arguing.
"Sister-in-law, you are wise." Gao Bi turned around and paid homage to Duan Xian, "In that case, don't worry Murong Ba. I will do my best in this matter in the army and will not let it go to waste or have any intention of arguing. Don't worry. "
"That's very good." Duan Xian smiled.
"My army will be setting out soon, and I have time to serve my brother." Murong Ba bowed and bowed.
"Murong Ba, don't take advantage of your courage." Duan Xian looked at him and couldn't help but hold his Qilin arm with both hands. Seeing this, Gao Bi quietly resigned.
"Don't worry. If you come back and have some merits, I will ask King Yan to marry me." Murong Ba hugged her tightly.
"You must come back." Duan Xian snuggled into his chest.
"I guess, whoever wanted to go out early this morning and said that the Longxiang Temple Buddha is very efficacious turned out to be here." came a bright voice.
Murong Ba and Duan Xian hurriedly separated. When they looked closely, it turned out to be Mrs. Gongsun. Murong Ba quickly raised his hands and said, "My nephew, I don't know Mrs. Gongsun. No, Gongsun's noble concubine has arrived, and she is far away to greet her."
"Hahaha." Concubine Gongsun covered her face with her sleeves and couldn't help laughing, "It's rare for the general to be so forgiving. I thought I missed your good deeds." She turned to look at Duan Xian, her face turned red and she was so embarrassed.
Already.
"Hey, I see the school grounds are so solemn today. I, the Yanjun athletes, are always excited. Is there anything important going on?" Suddenly Gongsun Guifei quickly covered her mouth and said, "Oh, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I have to retire."
"Gongsun, noble concubine, it doesn't matter. Now there is no sneak attack or cleverness. In this battle to destroy a country, winning against a big country cannot be won by cunning and cunning. Everything is clear."
"Master Ba, are you talking about Yuwen?"
"Your concubine is smart, that's right. Now that the two countries are at odds, it's either you or me who will die. We have to be cautious in the thin line between victory and defeat."
"We are going to fight again, for years and years." Gongsun Guifei sighed, "I am afraid that these troubled times will last for a long time, so it is better to ascend to bliss early and seek relief."
"It's no wonder that the Shimen Pagoda came to my Yan Realm. This world is probably full of ups and downs, and I really want to go to the next life and run to the bliss." Duan Xian said unhurriedly.
"In that case, take care of yourself Ba'er. I will pray for your blessings and keep you safe." Gongsun Guifei prepared to say goodbye.
Duan Xian and Murong Ba held hands tightly, then let go, and Duan Xian waved goodbye to him.
"I still have a living, and I am just a partial teacher. This time, Uncle Wang..." Murong Ba murmured.
Gongsun Guifei paused in saluting, but her expression did not change. She just led Duan Xian and Duan Yuan to Longxiang Temple.
After worshiping and praying in Longxiang Temple, they got into the oil-walled car. Mrs. Gongsun asked Duan Xian, "What is Murong Han's role in this expedition?"
"The noble concubine of Qi is the vanguard in the battle, narrowly escaping death."
"Pa." The Buddhist beads in Gongsun Guifei's hand fell into the carriage.
