Murong Qingwu was very surprised when he heard Pei Zhixiu's question, but said without hesitation:
"I have never met Ye Mingsheng..."
Pei Zhixiu seemed not surprised by Murong Qingwu's answer, but he continued to ask:
"Are you sure?"
Murong Qingwu nodded with certainty and said:
"If you meet someone like him once, you will definitely be impressed. How could you not remember it?"
After speaking, Murong Qingwu looked at Pei Zhixiu and said:
"Why do you ask?"
Pei Zhixiu said, minding his own business:
"My husband has a very precious portrait. It is said that this painting was painted by a famous painter when he was promoted to the commander of the imperial army and was very energetic!"
At this point, Pei Zhixiu paused and looked at Murong Qingwu's sermon with a faint smile;
"This painting depicts Murong Qingwu and your exquisite beauty under the peach blossom tree..."
Murong Qingwu was shocked as soon as these words came out. Although she had made some preparations before coming to Pei Zhixiu, she never expected that things would be like this!
After admiring some of Murong Qingwu's astonished expression, Pei Zhixiu continued:
"I heard from the soldiers who followed my husband that Ye Mingsheng had seen you many times before and fell in love with you at first sight. No other woman could look at him. When he was serving in the Forbidden Army, there were also people who wanted to marry you. He introduced me to a wife, but he politely rejected them all, just because he wants to marry you one day!"
Although what Pei Zhixiu said was not much, the amount of information was huge, which made Murong Qingwu feel dizzy and unable to accept it. After a while, she recovered and looked at Pei Zhixiu warily and said:
"You're lying to me!"
Bae Ji-soo smiled and shook her head and said:
"What good will it do me to lie to you?"
"You are my husband's dream lover, he is obsessed with you, and you are now in the realm of Fengwu Army. You will enter the mansion sooner or later, and you have the Murong family as your great support. Even if If you don’t want to fight, the Murong family will help you fight for the sake of family interests, so your existence completely threatens her!"
Listening to Pei Zhixiu's words, Murong Qingwu's expression suddenly became very complicated, and she didn't know what she was feeling now.
Although it is still hard to believe that there is such a connection between myself and Ye Mingsheng, my intuition tells me that Pei Zhixiu did not lie to her and there is no reason to lie to her...
Although Murong Qingwu realized that she was very afraid of her family background, she never thought that there was such a reason!
No wonder she insisted on killing herself!
But if this were true, wouldn't it mean that Ye Mingsheng would have recognized himself long ago, whether he was giving porridge in Fengzhou or listening to a play in the theater?
So what was his idea of deliberately not recognizing himself?
Recalling the moments when she met Ye Mingsheng, and thinking of Ye Mingsheng's meaningful expression, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but feel very embarrassed!
At this time, Pei Jixiu continued:
"You Yan's situation is gradually stabilizing. The Governor's Mansion will be moved to Yijing soon. There is not much time left for her, so you should wish yourself well!"
After saying this, Pei Zhixiu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Although she still had some doubts and wanted Pei Zhixiu to answer, Murong Qingwu still bowed to Pei Zhixiu and said:
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts. I will keep this feeling in my heart and I will return it in the future!"

Youyan, Shunping
"Firegun! Shoot! Don't let the enemy troops rush up!"
"Prepare the thundering rocks and rolling logs! Crush those bastards Yan Jun to death!"
"The enemy troops are rushing to the north gate, follow me! Drive the enemy troops down!"
···········
···········
Gu Shouting and Ma Zhongjun on the city tower struggled to command the Fengwu Army soldiers on the city tower to withstand the Yan army's tidal charge. Although they had received the flying pigeon message from Yi Jing before the Yan army launched the attack, they knew that The Yan army will launch an all-out counterattack against Shunping.
They also made some targeted arrangements for this, strengthening the defenses, imposing martial law and curfew on the city, and mobilizing the young people in the city to go to the front line to defend the city. However, because the last battle had just ended, the firearms of the armed forces in the city were Ammunition has not been replenished, and the enemy's strength advantage is too great, so this Shunping siege battle is still very difficult and hard.
The Yan army outside the city also seemed to know that if they could not take Shunping City now, the destruction of the Yan army would be inevitable, so the three armies worked together and the soldiers sacrificed their lives to launch wave after wave of attacks against Shunping regardless of casualties. .
Facing the fierce attack of nearly 100,000 Yan troops, Gu Shouting and Ma Zhongjun have led their troops to hold on for five days. During these five days, in addition to the traditional ant attack on the city, the Yan army also adopted the method of digging tunnels and cutting off water sources. To attack the city in this way, if the Fengwu Army had not been prepared in advance and discovered it in time, they might have been tricked.
As of now, although the Fengwu Army still controls Shunping City, the casualty rate of the officers and soldiers defending the city is as high as 35%, nearly half of the various firearms equipped are damaged, and the remaining ammunition is only about a base. There are even times of crisis when Ma Zhongjun needs to personally lead the guards to plug the gap. It is no exaggeration to say that Junping has now reached a life-or-death moment!
Just when Gu Shouting, Ma Zhongjun and others in Shunping City were feeling very anxious, Zhao Fuqu, who was watching the siege battle outside the city, also looked very ugly... ·
This battle is his last chance. If he can successfully defeat Shunping City, then he may still have hope of breaking off with Ye Mingsheng again. But if he fails to capture Shunping City, then he will be completely finished and will not need to pay tribute. When the Wu army attacked, Guangda's army's logistical supplies were enough to kill him.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Fuqu gave up the general siege strategy of main attack and secondary attack. Instead, without any temptation, he directly attacked from all four sides. The 100,000 troops pressed forward without reservation, just to win the battle quickly and win as soon as possible. Descend to Shunping City. However, although the Yan army's attack was very fierce and they were not afraid of sacrifice, the Fengwu army in the city was as tenacious as a rock and persisted for five days, making Zhao Fuqu's plan of a quick victory close to bankruptcy.
Seeing the Yan army soldiers who rushed to the north gate of Shunping and were driven down one by one, Zhao Fuqu's face became more and more gloomy. He originally planned to capture Shunping City within three days, but now he has already attacked it. It was the sixth day in the city. According to the intelligence he received, tens of thousands of Fengwu troops were already rushing towards Shunping under the leadership of Yuan Song, who was known as the first general of the Fengwu army.
According to the marching speed of Fengwu Army, it is likely that they will arrive near Shunping within the next day or two. And if Yuan Song's reinforcements arrive, they will have the hope of containing Yan's army to take Shunping. , undoubtedly reduced by more than half, so Zhao Fuqu is planning to send a large number of scouts around Shunping to determine the specific location of Yuan Song's reinforcements so that he can prepare for the worst and prepare for the worst... ······
Although the current situation is not as expected, Zhao Fuqu is not completely desperate. Through spies in the northern part of Yijing, he has found out that Yuan Song's reinforcements are less than 30,000 people, and the Luobei attack on northern Youyan Right before his eyes, as long as the Luobei people can be more powerful, then he still has a chance to turn defeat into victory!
Just when Zhao Fuqu was pinning his hopes on turning defeat into victory and dreaming about his big dream of spring and autumn, he would not have thought that thousands of Fengwu Army soldiers were quietly hiding in a hidden valley ten miles away from Shunping!
In the military camp in the valley, Ye Dong, who was dressed in military uniform, was pacing back and forth in his tent, his eyes full of tangles, not knowing what to do. Since the Fengwu Army captured Yi Jing, the war in the north of Youyan came to an end. , Ye Mingsheng recruited elites from various departments in the army to expand his own guard force, expanding it to a team of 3,000 people. Ye Dong was also transferred back from the First Division to serve as the commander of the guard battalion, responsible for Ye Mingsheng himself and his mansion. escort work.
However, due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks to rush to Shunping City this time, Yuan Song lacked capable manpower, so Ye Mingsheng ordered Ye Dong to lead a thousand guards battalion soldiers and temporarily assigned them to Commander Yuan Song to rush to Shunping together. It will be rebuilt after the war is over.
According to the previously formulated plan, Yuan Song led the 1st and 6th divisions, as well as Ye Dong's guard camp, a total of about 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Shunping. However, not long after leaving, Yuan Song felt that after carrying a large number of Without baggage and artillery, the army could not march quickly.
Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, Yuan Song made a decisive decision to let the main force advance as usual with the baggage and artillery, while he himself led 8,000 elite troops, including Ye Dong's 1,000-guard battalion, with light equipment and simplicity. , rushing forward at a speed of nearly eighty miles a day, arrived in the valley not far outside Shunping City yesterday...
Following Yuan Song all the way to Shunping, Ye Dong thought that Yuan Song would immediately order the entire army to go into battle to support the Fengwu Army defending the city, but he was still prepared and gearing up to fight the Yan Army, but he did not What came to mind was that Yuan Song did not go into battle with his entire army to support the friendly forces in Shunping City as he thought, but instead led them to hide in the valley and wait.
This strong sense of disparity made Ye Dong a little disappointed. He wanted to go to Yuan Song to ask what happened, but he was also worried about offending Yuan Song. He struggled in his tent for a while, thinking about the situation in Shunping City. The friendly forces were fighting bloody battles, and people were dying under Yan Jun's swords every moment, but he could only watch in this valley. Ye Dong finally made up his mind, mustered up the courage to walk out of the camp, and faced Yuan Song's Go to the camp.
Arriving outside Yuan Song's camp, Ye Dong said to the guard:
"I have something to meet with General Yuan. Please help me pass the message and see if General Yuan is available!"
"yes!"
Soon the guard came out of the tent and said:
"Commander Ye, please come in!"
Walking into the tent and looking at Yuan Song who was calm and self-confident, Ye Dong bowed in greeting. Yuan Song nodded slightly and said:
"What's the matter with you?"
Facing Yuan Song's inquiry, Ye Dong mustered up his courage and said:
"The friendly brothers in General Shunping City fought very fiercely and are waiting hard for support. The brothers below are very motivated and want to fight as soon as possible..."
Yuan Song glanced at him when he heard this, and then said lightly:
"Do you want to go out and fight Yan Jun right now?"
Ye Dong no doubt nodded his head and said:
"The last general is willing to lead his troops as the vanguard!"
Yuan Song deeply forgot about him, then shook his head and said:
"Ye Dong, you are really very confident. Even though the Yan army has lost a lot of soldiers and horses at Shunping City in the past few days, the Yan army now has at least 70,000 or 80,000 people. The more than 1,000 people under your command are going up. What use can it be? Not to mention the more than a thousand people like you, even if there are more than 8,000 people here, there is still no chance of winning when facing an enemy army several times your own. Being brave in battle is very important, but you cannot be brave. No plan!"
After listening to Yuan Song's teachings, Ye Dong lowered his head in shame and bowed his hands in salute:
"General Yuan is right, Ye Dong has learned a lesson!"
Seeing that Ye Dong admitted his mistake, Yuan Song softened his tone and continued:
"I can understand your thoughts. Paoze is in the midst of a bloody battle. You want to fight with them. This is a normal thought as a military commander, but you must also face the gap between us and the enemy. With the eight thousand people we have now, We do not have the strength to fight head-on with the main force of tens of thousands of Yan troops..."
After Yuan Song finished speaking, Ye Dong seemed to hear some clues from his tone, and he suddenly became energetic and said:
"Sir, do you already have a plan in mind?"
When Yuan Song heard this, he did not answer his question but said:
"What you should do now is go back and recharge your batteries. You will fight many battles!"
Ye Dong nodded immediately after hearing this and said:
"General Yuan, I will go back and have a good rest. Don't forget to let me be the vanguard then!"
Yuan Song laughed and cursed:
"Get out of here!"
After scolding Ye Dong away, Yuan Song focused his attention on a place called Fuhu Gang on the sand table. This is a famous place in Shunping. According to legend, there was another Taoist priest who traveled around more than ten years ago. I once passed by this place, where I single-handedly subdued three big tigers. People admired his reputation and came to pay homage to him.
And now Yuan Song is focusing his attention on this place, naturally not because of the allusion of crouching tiger, but because this is a strategic location. Since arriving in Shunping with light equipment and ambushing in this valley yesterday, Yuan Song is Want to take advantage of the surprise attack, find out the loopholes of the Yan army and give them a fatal blow
But it is a pity that as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, although Zhao Fuqu has not yet captured Shunping City, the layout of his camp is quite good, and everything is stable in all aspects, whether it is to prevent night attacks, or to the granaries and gunpowder depots. Important places are well protected, making it difficult for people to start. Only Fuhu Gang seems to be able to make some articles...
