A full moon hangs high in the sky.
The apricot-yellow moonlight spread across the earth, and the huge city of Jinling gradually fell asleep under the moonlight.
There was no one on the long street.
Four fine horses galloped from one end of the long street to the other. The sound of horse hooves did not wake up the sleeping citizens of Shangjing. Only when they passed Wufangzhai, Jiang Yu, who had not fallen asleep yet, turned over in his quilt, wondering if the detectives from the Jinling government office were still catching thieves in the middle of the night?
Fu Xiaoguan, Huo Huaijin, Su Jue and Xu Xinyan rode their horses fast and rushed to the west gate in the moonlight.
Huo Huaijin called out the deputy general guarding the city, took out the token, and ordered the deputy general to open the west gate.
Standing outside the West City Gate, Huo Huaijin looked at Fu Xiaoguan with a very serious expression, "Come back alive!"
"Don't worry, I'm damn tough and won't die!"
"I actually want to go too. That bastard killed my dad!"
"You know?"
"I only learned the news from my mother tonight."
"What kind of person is Xue Dingshan?"
"He is resourceful, suspicious, and decisive in killing. He might even be a Saint."
Fu Xiaoguan nodded and said, "I will go and avenge you right now!"
"I'll wait for your triumphant return!"
Fu Xiaoguan turned his horse around, whipped his horse, and galloped away. His figure became fainter and fainter in the moonlight and gradually disappeared.
Huo Huaijin stood here and watched for a long time, then turned around and rode into the city. However, he did not return to the camp, but ran to knock on Ning Yuchun's door.
"Why are you stealing so late at night?"
"Stop talking nonsense and drink with me."
"You're a fucking psycho!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
The shopkeeper of Sifanglou was very depressed. Although it was the beginning of spring and there was a moon in the sky, it was already the hour of the Ox. If you didn't sleep, did you have the zodiac sign of cat?
But he didn't dare to offend these two masters, so he had to crawl out of the warm bed. As a result, Huo Huaijin said to him: "A plate of peanuts, a plate of beef, a box of wine, a pot of charcoal fire, on the third floor, you can go to sleep, don't worry about us."
this……
Huo Huaijin closed the door of the private room. Ning Yuchun frowned, "What on earth happened?"
Huo Huaijin opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass, but stood up and slowly fell to the ground, "My father is dead."
Ning Yuchun was startled and his eyes widened suddenly. "What?"
"Xue Dingshan rebelled."
This time, Ning Yuchun opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath, and didn't say anything.
Huo Huaijin sat at the table, filled two glasses of wine, and handed one to Ning Yuchun, "I just sent Fu Xiaoguan out of the city."
This news surprised Ning Yuchun again. In the short time since he entered the door, he was surprised three times!
Fu Xiaoguan went out of the city late at night, which means the problem is very serious.
"Where did it hit?"
"I don't know. I'm afraid the court will receive battle reports from the front every day from now on."
"No, what good would Fu Xiaoguan do there? Didn't His Majesty already dispatch General Yu?"
"Since he's so eager to go, I'm afraid General Yu is in great danger!"
“…He’s not sick!”
"I wanted to ask the same thing, but he didn't say, so I didn't ask..." Huo Huaijin raised his glass and drank a glass with Ning Yuchun. His eyes fell out the window. The moonlight was soft and Weiyang Lake was quiet and peaceful.
"After drinking this with you, I'm leaving too."
"Where the hell are you going again?"
"Kill Xue Dingshan."
"You are crazy! What does it mean that you have left your post without His Majesty's order?"
Huo Huaijin grinned and clapped his hands, singing: "Don't listen to the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, why not sing and walk slowly. A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, who is afraid? A raincoat will protect me in the rain..."
…
…
Jinling Fu Mansion.
Dong Shulan put on a fur coat and turned on the lights in the room.
She went to Yu Wenjun's room with a lamp, and Yu Wenjun was sleeping soundly. She then went to Yan Xiaolou's room, and Yan Xiaolou was also sleeping soundly.
She came to Taoranting alone, hung up a lantern and sat down.
Fu Xiaoguan is not here.
She knew that Fu Xiaoguan was gone.
He left in such a hurry that something big must have happened.
What big thing will happen?
Dong Shulan usually pays close attention to government affairs. She thinks about many things, such as whether the iron cavalry of the Huang Kingdom has broken through the Yanshan Pass; whether the Yi Kingdom has changed its mind and started an army again; and whether the fourth prince Yu Wenshu has not given up.
No matter which one, we will face war.
He was summoned into the palace by His Majesty tonight, so there must have been a war.
Where could it be?
Would it be dangerous for him to run there?
A cool breeze blew, and she shivered. Suddenly, she felt like vomiting, so she stood up, held onto the fence, and started vomiting.
Xiaoxue ran over quickly, her eyes red with anxiety, "Madam, please go back to your room immediately. Don't freeze yourself in this cold night."
Dong Shulan straightened her back and smiled, her face full of sunshine.
…
Qingyun Mountain.
When the crow landed on Su Mo's shoulder, his eyebrows jumped.
He lit the lantern in the tent, took the note from the crow's feet, took a look, and suddenly jumped up from the bed, scaring Yan Taohua.
"What's wrong?"
"Just stay in the temple. I'm going to be away for a while."
Su Mo turned over and got up, but Yan Taohua grabbed him and said, "What's the matter? I'm your wife and I have the right to know your movements!"
Su Mo pinched Yan Taohua's fair face and said, "Master Fu needs me. He needs the Third Divine Sword Brigade."
"So urgent?"
"He's probably even more anxious."
"I'll go with you."
"...Alright."
A moment later, a sharp whistle sounded in the camp. The Divine Sword Third Brigade, composed of 3,000 Taoist disciples, had demonstrated extremely high military qualities after half a year of training by Su Mo.
In a short moment, the neatly dressed soldiers gathered in the center of the camp.
Su Mo stood in front of them and said loudly: "This is not training!"
"Next, we will march long distances and rush into battle immediately!"
"Everyone listen up!"
"I'll give you half an incense stick of time to pack your bags, bring your weapons, and enough food for ten days. Take your warhorses and get ready to set off!"
It's time to go to war!
This group of skilled Excalibur soldiers suddenly became excited. They prepared everything in a very short time, went to the stables to get their war horses, and stood solemnly in the center of the camp.
"Get on the horse and follow me!"
The sound of galloping horses' hooves echoed in the valley. The master of the temple stood quietly in the deep moonlight, watching the group leave. Suddenly, he said to Gao Yuanyuan beside him, "You can also set off."
"Where are you going?"
"It's still the Moon Worship Sect!"
Gao Yuanyuan and her three fellow apprentices also left the Taoist temple under the moonlight. The temple was empty with only the abbot left.
He suddenly looked at the moon and smiled.
"A bit lonely...?"
