When General Sun Pian led a battalion of soldiers to rush to the city gate, he saw that there was a chaos under the city gate, and the cold light of weapons was flying, trapping the two people in it.
One of them did not use a weapon, but only relied on the skill of capturing the enemy in the army. He faced his own soldiers. Wherever he passed, the soldiers were swept to the ground by him.
Before General Sun could speak, the military commander beside him had already angrily said: "How dare you, even the Yanbei camp has rules, how dare you break into the important place of my city gate at will!"
After finishing speaking, he had already drawn his sword in his hand, and was about to give an order to the soldiers behind him to capture the two people who broke into the city gate, but was stopped by his own general. He couldn't help but be curious. Usually, General Sun hated people who did not abide by military rules. He wanted to ask a question, but saw a little joy in the general's eyes.
It was not that General Sun missed Yu Lie's comrade, but that he saw a familiar figure among the soldiers who kept passing through. Although he was wearing a large cloak and covered his face with a hood, he was hidden from behind. The bright eyes in the hood instantly recognized him.
As he waved his hand to stop the captain, Sun Pianjiang spoke at the same time, and his shouts spread into the night, covering up the sounds of fighting and being clearly transmitted into the battle circle.
"Everyone stop it!"
This sound worked as expected. Not only did all the soldiers come to their senses instantly and stop fighting, but Yu Lie, who was using his army's ability to capture the enemy, also stopped instantly, jumped backwards, and temporarily stepped out of the battle circle to look.
The young man who had never made a move and only kept using Qinggong to dodge, also heard who the voice came from. He suddenly looked back and saw that the general leading the army was General Sun Pian, and he was also happy.
"How can you fight against the general!" General Sun scolded the soldiers angrily.
Yu Lie was not a troublesome person, and he finally calmed down a bit at this time. He also knew that he had broken the rules by forcing his way into the city gate in a hurry. When he was about to explain and apologize, he heard that General Sun Pian had already attacked Shicai. The soldier ordered: "No matter how big or small, fighting against each other is a crime according to military law..."
Seeing that his general was angry, all the soldiers were frightened and asked for forgiveness, which made Yu Lie feel ashamed. Just when Yu Lie was struggling to open his mouth to plead for these soldiers and explain himself, the young man beside him spoke.
"General Sun, please calm down. In my opinion, these brothers from the Yanbei Army are loyal to their duties and have done nothing wrong. General Yu has also done nothing wrong for being eager to pass orders..." The young man spoke, and slowly walked to Lie's side. The eyes shining like stars in the hood reached General Sun.
After thinking for a moment, General Sun Pian immediately knew what the young man meant, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the young man's quick wit, which not only allowed his soldiers to avoid punishment, but also prevented Yu Lie from breaking into the city gate without permission.
After making up his mind, Sun Pianjiang took advantage of the situation and spoke to the soldiers: "Since there is a misunderstanding, I will spare you the punishment of the military sticks and return them to their positions so that you can patrol the city."
All the officers and soldiers were happy to be exempted from punishment. They all looked gratefully at the person who spoke, then returned to their posts and patrolled the city.
General Sun Pian looked at the young man, winked secretly, and then ordered to the captain behind him: "Okay, the misunderstanding here has been resolved. You all return to camp and come to change defenses according to the hour. I will go and take the order myself."
When all the soldiers under his command had gone far, General Sun did not speak in a hurry, but looked at Yu Lie with caution, and then turned his eyes to the young man.
"Don't worry, General Sun. Brother Yu is one of our own. He is willing to take risks just to help me leave Yanbei City." The young man naturally saw General Sun's thoughts and immediately explained.
When Sun Pianjiang heard the young man speak, he lowered his guard and showed surprise, but then he showed doubts and said: "I see...wait...what did you say? Help you leave Yanbei, you are just a member of the world. , and you haven’t violated Qi Yun’s law, so why did you leave Yanbei?”
"Unknown to Brother Sun, His Highness Prince Ning suddenly appeared in Yanbei City and took over the Yanbei City defenders and patrols... While chasing down the bandits, he also issued a military order to capture Brother Mu..." Yu Lie explained beside him.
General Sun Pian heard that the clouds and mountains were filled with mist, and he raised his hand and said: "Brother Yu, wait a moment, let Sun know something. Brother Mu is a man from the world, how could he get into trouble with His Highness Prince Ning who suddenly appeared in the city?" , Taking a step back, the cause of the chaos in the city is still unknown. Even if His Highness Prince Ning is determined to capture Brother Mu, he should put the overall situation of Yanbei City first."
Seeing Sun Pian's behavior, Gu Xiao knew that Sun Pian didn't know the inside story, so he sent Lu Can away.
He told General Sun Pian about his identity and the story of Canmeng Gong, and also told General Sun Pian about the conspiracy of Gao Deng, Shan Bin and others whom he had pushed aside, leaving the upright general dumbfounded.
"If everything goes as Brother Mu said, then everything makes sense. Gordon pretended to be stupid for many years to loosen the Jin people's guard, and then used General Shan to pretend to surrender. Such a strategy and psychological means are difficult to find. Isn't this all a plan by General Wan?" General Sun murmured, and couldn't help but sincerely admire the person who orchestrated this situation.
Thinking of the imperial envoy, now His Highness Prince Ning, Gu Xiao seemed to understand everything in his heart. He shook his head lightly and said: "Although General Wan has been in Yanbei for many years, he may not be enough to make Generals Gao and Shan obey orders like this. Anyone who doesn't win this game must be in a high-ranking position, and can make that...His Royal Highness Prince Ning willing to be a pawn..."
"Holy..." Hearing the young man's words, Yu Lie couldn't suppress his surprise. He almost subconsciously blurted out the word "general" and was covered by the more thoughtful Sun Pianjiang.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, he glanced gratefully at General Sun. Yu Lie immediately shut up and said nothing more. He then heard the young man continue to speak to General Sun: "No matter who set up the situation in Yanbei, Mu has done his best. ..General Sun, Mu returned to the city for one person. Lu Can took Brother Yang and escaped from Yanbei City. Perhaps he is the only one who can use the tracking method to find Lu Can's traces."
"You mean Brother Chi?" Hearing the young man speak, General Sun Pian suddenly knew who the young man was.
Hearing Sun Pianjiang mention the pipe and pot, Gu Xiao calmed down: "How is his injury? Where is he now?"
"Brother Mu, don't worry. Brother Chi is in our army. We have sent doctors to treat him. He is not seriously ill, just a few skin injuries. Without further ado, you come with me." General Sun Pian heard that Yang Hucheng was taken away Yan Bei, anxious in his heart, immediately told the truth about the situation of the pipe pot, and then motioned to Gu and Xiao to follow him.
The three of them didn't stop, got on their horses, and walked towards the small courtyard with the pipes and pots in sight. After a while, they arrived in front of the small courtyard. General Sun Pian was at the side. None of the soldiers in front of the door dared to stop him, and the old doctor didn't dare to stop him. He was dismissed with a wave of his hand.
Entering the room in the inner courtyard, he saw the still-unawakened cigarette pot. Gu Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to check. After examining it with his internal strength, he found that as Sun Pianjiang said, the cigarette pot was just a skin injury, with excessive blood loss and a violent slap. He was injured by force and fell into coma. He immediately spoke to General Yu and Sun.
"Two generals, I have to heal Brother Chixin. I also ask the two generals to give orders so that outsiders cannot enter this room and disturb me to save people."
Sun and Yu looked at each other, and Sun Pianjiang patted his chest and said, "This is a simple matter. Brother Yu and I are guarding the door of this room for Brother Mu. No one in the city dares to break in at this time."
"Then I'll leave it to you two." Gu Xiao was eager to save people, and he didn't show any politeness at the moment and said thank you with cupped fists.
Sun and Yu declined their thanks at the same time, then pushed the door open and stood guard outside the courtyard gate... With these two people standing outside, Gu Xiao calmed down and immediately lifted up the pot and used his internal strength to heal his injuries. ...
"Brother Sun, you and I have been working under General Shan for many years. I know that you always feel that General Shan is too flattering. He is not as fearless and selfless as General Wan, General Yang and others. You don't bother to talk to me, but you never thought that, Today, you and I are both guarding the door for a young man, right?" Looking at the night sky, Yu Lie suddenly felt emotional, and with a slight smile, he spoke to Sun Pianjiang beside him.
If he hadn't been afraid of disturbing the young man in the room behind him who was healing a pipe pot, General Sun would have laughed on the spot. He also looked up at the night and sighed with emotion.
"Brother Yu's words are wrong. The only one I disdain is Shan Bin. I have great admiration for my brother as a person... If Brother Tonight Mu's speculation is true, then I have not only misunderstood Gao Deng, but also General Shan. In fact, I I should have thought a long time ago that if I am the general of Yanbei, how can I be a fool, and how can I be easily bribed by the Jin people... If I get the chance, I will definitely apologize to the two generals Shan and Gao."
A man in the army is also a man of temperament. After hearing the heartfelt words of General Sun Pian next to him, Yu Lie immediately smiled and said: "I think there is no need to bear the thorn to plead guilty. The situation in Yanbei City is currently undecided. I think Brother Sun must be the same as me." Confuse..."
"As my brother intended..."
Sun Pianjiang handed over his questioning gaze, until he saw Yu Lie's eyes flickering in the dark night, and then he said clearly: "That's right...this
Although the young man's skills were extraordinary, he was not willing to mobilize all the soldiers in the city to capture him. What's more, he had done some service in protecting Yanbei, hadn't he? "
"You know I know, how could that person not know? It seems that there must be a secret in this young man that you and I don't know." Yu Lie seemed to have already figured out the mystery.
General Sun didn't seem to care, and sighed: "So what if there is a secret? If you were him, would you be willing to take risks for the sake of the people in this city? He has such a big heart at a young age. As generals who protect the people, we , you should be ashamed of yourself..."
"What Brother Sun said is very true..." Yu Lie said guiltily, but before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of hurried steps outside the courtyard and hurriedly looked at General Sun.
At this time, Sun Pianjiang also looked puzzled. What is going on tonight? Military orders have obviously been issued. Earlier, soldiers came to report Yu Lie and the two men forcibly breaking into the tower. This time, soldiers under his command came in a hurry. Just as he was thinking, The captain who had left earlier had broken into the small courtyard and reported eagerly.
"General...General, Ning...His Royal Highness Prince Ning has returned to the city."
"What did you say? His Highness Prince Ning returned to the city? Did you see clearly?" General Sun was not only surprised, but also a little panicked. He was not worried about himself, but worried about the young man in the room behind him.
The captain hurriedly opened his mouth and reported: "The last general saw with his own eyes that His Royal Highness Prince Ning and two generals from the patrol, General Gao and General Fujia, led their troops back to the city. Without stopping for a moment, they were heading towards the south gate."
Hearing this, General Sun Pian and Yu Lie glanced at each other. They had already seen the other's thoughts in each other's eyes. They turned their heads and wanted to speak to the captain and said: "Go quickly and pass my order to the general. The army is ready to welcome King Ning." Your Highness, I will come as soon as I receive you, and... when you welcome me, try to delay as much as possible, and I will rush over to you immediately. No one should say anything about this matter."
"I have the order!" The captain did not dare to neglect and took the order and left.
After Yu Lie heard the report from the captain, he knew that something had changed. He thought about it secretly, thinking about General Sun and said: "Brother Sun, you are the guard of Nancheng... It is better to rush to welcome His Highness back to the city." For the best, I will guard this place."
"The defenders of Nancheng are all soldiers under my command. If something happens if I'm not here, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to deal with it...Besides, as a true man, I promised you a thousand pieces of gold, and since I have promised to protect you, if I leave at this time... "
Before Sun Pianjiang finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him. The two of them looked back and saw that the young man had pushed out the door with many cigarette pouches and pots on his face.
The young man frowned, as if he heard what the two of them were talking about just now. When he opened the door and walked out, he spoke solemnly to the two of them.
"Brother Yu, General Sun can't come back."
