Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 74 The nine princes were banished to the garrison to win people's hearts, and the ten guards relied on their favor and suffered embarrassment.
Nian Gengyao commanded an army of [-]. Since May of the first year of Yongzheng, the camp of the Chinese army was moved to defend Xining, and until September, there was still no large-scale attack.It's not that he doesn't want to make a quick decision, it's that this battle has too much to do with it.Lobu Tsang Tenzin's rebels are all fierce and brave Mongols. The nomadic tribes have no stops. Today's report says that the rebel camp is located in Guinan. Tomorrow, it will be reported that they have moved to Xinghai and sent a small group of soldiers to go there. He rushed, but missed the air, and when he re-investigated, Luobu Zangtenzin had already arrived at the hot spring... so erratic, blindly chasing in the northwest where there are rebels and rebels everywhere, it is destined to suffer a big loss.He liked to read military books since he was a child, and he aspired to be a generation of famous generals. Therefore, although he was awarded the Wen Jinshi, he has been doing military duties all the time.During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the imperial driver personally conquered Zhungeer three times. He has been serving as a general under the command of General Feiyang Gu of the Northern Route Army. He has fought in the Gobi for more than ten years in the rolling sand and flying rocks. It is not as easy as destroying Baodugu in the Central Plains and catching water bandits in Taihu Lake.Needless to say that he won this battle, he is the second Feiyanggu of the Qing Dynasty.But defeated?The court, which has been full of gunpowder for a long time, is about to explode—why should the fourteenth brother who won the battle be transferred back to the capital, and this idiot general should be sent to shame people?Not only was his reputation ruined, but even Yongzheng's throne may not be kept.

Because of his ambition to win, Nian Gengyao has always been cautious in using his troops. He ordered Fan Shijie, governor of Gansu Province, to garrison Yongchang and Bulongjihe, seal off the road that Luobu Zangdanzeng went east, and sent 2 troops to guard Litang, Batang, and Huangsheng. Guan, to prevent Rob Zang Tenzeng from disturbing Tibet; the Jingni general Fu Ning'an stationed in Xinjiang is the younger brother of the current empress, and he is a slave of Yongzheng's sect. It is inconvenient to issue direct orders, so he asked for an order to order the rich army to station troops in Turpan and Gesikou. I don't know how much thought and sleepless nights were spent on cutting off the connection between the rebels and Jungar, and finally strategically weaved a large network surrounding the entire Qinghai.After a few months, Nian Gengyao lost more than ten catties, his cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, and his temper became more surly and irritable.Therefore, when he heard the news that the ten guards "escorted" the ninth elder brother Yun to come to the camp to "serve in the army", Nian Gengyao just grinned grimly, threw the mansion report on the case with a "slap", and put his hands behind his back. He walked out of the tent of the commander of the Chinese army.

"Commander," Nian Gengyao's chief follower, Sang Chengding, said, "here are two more military reports, which were urgently delivered by Liubaili..."

"Say."

The wrinkles on Nian Gengyao's dark face remained motionless as if carved by a knife, looking at the rolling yellow wind in the distance.Sang Chengding was in his fifties, so skinny that he could be blown away by a gust of wind. He was silent for a moment and said: "Fan Shijie is a message, and the army has moved to defense. It's going to be freezing. Please send 50 sets of cowhide tents."

"Pass back to him and ask him to go to the Ministry of War to ask for it—add one sentence, write me a text later, there must be a distinction between top and bottom, otherwise I will not reply, and I will kill him if I miss the military opportunity!"

"tie!"

"What else?"

"There is also a palindrome from Yue Dushuai."

"Say."

"Yue Dushuai said that the general has received the order to transfer the Sichuan green battalion to Songpan, but it is inconvenient to carry out at present."

"Ok?"

Nian Gengyao turned his face and looked Sang Chengding up and down. The fire in his eyes flashed and then became unfathomable. He chuckled and said, "In terms of status, he is my subordinate; in terms of affection, he is my subordinate." Old friend. Why, fight me in the ring? What did Yue Zhongqi say?" Sang Chengding licked his dry lips, and said: "He has invited the holy order. He said that the military plane is unpredictable, and Luo Bujun does not make any big moves. , Sichuan Qiying Green Camp does not necessarily have to go hand in hand with Nian Gengyao. He has transferred the army to Shiqu and Menglong Temple to be used at any time. This is the Zhu Zhuben that he copied from the Long Live Lord. Please forgive him for his painstaking efforts." As he spoke, he brought up a folded book with a light yellow cover in both hands.Nian Gengyao took it casually, and when he unfolded it, there were words of greetings and greetings, even if he did not adjust his defenses for the time being, he said it very euphemistically.
It is very pleasant to read.I trust you, but in all things, be cautious.There are Nian Gengyao and you two in the west, how can I worry about going west?I wish you success soon, and I am delighted to hear the good news!
Nian Gengyao breathed a sigh of relief, silently handed the booklet to Sang Chengding, and said for a long time, "Yue Zhongqi is my deputy, so I have to buy this face. Since the emperor has spoken, it is even worse to reject it. You are called Zhongjun clerk." Give him instructions, seal my seal, and agree—but tell him that if the Qinghai rebels fled into Sichuan, even if it is only a mouse, decades of love and face will be ignored. In addition, the general will be outside, and the king ordered If you don't accept anything, the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan battalion must listen to my restraint at any time." Nian Gengyao said, and Sang Chengding agreed.Seeing that Sang Chengding still didn't leave, Nian Gengyao said again: "Why don't you go?"

"General," Sang Chengding said, "Wang Jingqi, the Mu Liao recommended by Prince Guo's mansion, Wang Jingqi, a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang, was born in Juren, and his official career was not satisfactory. At the beginning of the second year of Yongzheng, he defected to Hu Qiheng in Shaanxi. He is "the greatest man in the universe", unmatched by famous generals of all dynasties, and he took refuge in Nian Gengyao. He will be written about him later in the novel, and I would like to invite the general to meet him. Also, Master Jiu and ten guards have also arrived outside Xining City .Do you want to pick up the general?"

Nian Gengyao smiled lightly, and said: "Old Sang, the man surnamed Wang recommended by Prince Guo has written a few reports that are not bad. Tomorrow, he will be asked to sign in the custody room to help with military affairs. We will meet every day, and he will not say 'receive'." Receive? These guards, and Master Jiu, do you know what they are doing here? Some are here to grab credit, some are here to suffer. You bring the deputy generals and generals under the Chinese army tent to pick them up on my behalf, and they say I am armored. It’s inconvenient to meet them from a distance, and I’ve wronged them—I’m really exhausted, so let’s take some time to rest, okay?”

The ten second-class bodyguards selected by Yunhe Da Nei were picked up by the post station, passed through Zhili, Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, traveled thousands of miles, and finally arrived in Xining.Dismount at Jieguan Pavilion at the eighth day of September.At this time, the autumn in the Central Plains is high and the air is crisp, the willows in Fengdan are yellow, the frost leaves are colorful, and the rivers and lakes are clear and green. It is the best time of the year.After the Zhongtiao Mountain entered Shaanxi, the weather changed. The vast expanse is the open and vast loess. The loess slopes and loess ditches are uplifted vertically and horizontally. Immediately look into the distance. Trembling, the poplars that have lost all their leaves, their branches swaying and making piercing whistling noises - already chilling the desolation and cold so that people's hearts tremble.Going westward, passing Gansu, and entering the Qinghai Plateau, there are few grasses and trees at all, dry river ditches, yellow sand dunes, saline-alkali land, rocky beaches...the white hairs and wind blowing past, rolling up thousands of feet of yellow sand, confused and confused It is chaotic and chaotic, and it is difficult to walk with a horse. What you can't eat every day is oats and barley, boiled mutton in salt water, dried beef, and yak meat.This group of people are all the sons of nobles from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and they have trained their muscles and bones well through practicing martial arts. When have they suffered such hardships, some people have long since started to scold their mothers.On the contrary, Yun knew that this trip was of great importance, and he carried 100 million taels of banknotes with him. Although there was no use for it, he used money to comfort people when they were upset.After two months, all of these guards felt that "Jiuye is generous" and "we are in the same boat in times of trouble", so they had long forgotten Yongzheng's order "not to make friends with Yun".

This group of people was waiting for General Nian Gengyao to greet them in person at the reception pavilion.Sima Lu, the magistrate of Xining, was a follower of the fourteenth elder brother Yun, and he was very flattering. He invited the best cook in Xining to hold a hump feast for Yun to welcome him.In addition to chicken, duck and fish, there are also seasonal vegetables such as green celery, spinach, chives, and kohlrabi.Everyone was tired of eating meat all the way, and they really had the posture of a long drought and sweet rain. They laughed and ate and drank, and the feast of the two tables was ruined as early as the wind and the clouds.The leading guard was named Mu Xiang'a, and he was sweating from eating. Seeing that Yun seemed to be preoccupied, he sat cross-legged on the kang after a few mouthfuls, and said with a smile: "Master Jiu, what are you thinking about? Such a good dish. Why don't you eat?"

"I have cherished blessings since I was young, how can I compare with you fierce warriors? Just use as much as you can." Yun sipped a sip of strong tea, then turned to ask Sima Lu, "Are all these vegetables from this land?" Sima Lu quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Nine Master really grew up in the Forbidden City. There are no vegetables in this place at this time, except for radishes, all of them are sent by post from Sichuan. General Nian gave it to the servant, and the servant is reluctant to eat it, just honor the ninth master."

Mu Xiang'a gritted his teeth and said, "Nian Gengyao is so grand! It's so far from Sichuan, and the dishes are still fresh!" Sima Lu said, "It's a three-day fast ride from Menglong Temple to here. The dishes were divided into ten batches, and more than 1000 people sent them one after another, so they would naturally be able to feed the general's camp." Everyone was shocked when they heard Nian Gengyao's behavior.But Yun changed the subject and asked, "How far is the general from here?"

"Returning to Master Jiu, it's in the north of the city." Sima Lu slowly replied with Yun's words in mind, "It's rare for me to see the general. It's only when the post station in front of me arrived that I found out that Master Jiu and all the adults have arrived. This is just for the master to clean up the dust. The general must also know that Master Jiu is here, and there will be news soon..."

Only then did everyone realize that this eunuch was not sent by Nian Gengyao to treat the emperor's envoy at all, and someone had already spat at him with a "bah".Mu Xiang'a is the grand-nephew of the Empress Dowager's natal family, and her mother is Princess Kangxi 23 Heshuo. How did she experience this?His face flushed immediately, he rolled his sleeves and said in a Beijing accent: "The forest is so fucking big, there are all kinds of birds! We were sent by the emperor, not anyone's slaves! I—"

"Old Mu, we have some wine." Yun waved his hand to stop Mu Xiang'a.He took out his pocket watch to see that it was almost noon, and knowing that Nian Gengyao could not be expected to greet him in person, he said with a smile, "Since it is very close to Xingyuan, we don't need to sit here—Sima Lu, what should you do when you return home?" Yours, find someone to lead us the way, let's go to pay a visit to the general!" Then, without waiting for everyone's consent, he wrapped himself in a fox fur robe and walked out of the reception hall.

The crowd had no choice but to follow him out, and got on the horse with a sigh of relief.Just after walking a stone's throw away, he saw a group of people approaching from a distance. The yamen servant who led the way saw Sang Chengding at a glance, and hurriedly said yes.Yun rolled off the saddle, and just stood still, Sang Chengding stepped forward to kowtow, and stood up again, and said: "General Nian asked the servant to pay tribute to Lord Jiu again and again. He is in armor, so it is inconvenient to welcome him. I am sorry for Master Jiu and everyone. Your Excellency, go to the camp to meet you." Yun Han nodded with a smile, and said: "Thanks for your help, we will go now." Mu Xiang'a sneered and said: "Please take a step ahead of you—the guards should look like guards, look Put on your yellow mandarin jackets for your immortal appearance!"

The ten guards who came out to join the army were all given yellow jackets by Yongzheng when they left.This was originally the meaning of Yongzheng's kindness to win over. According to the Qing system, officials in yellow jackets were specially given to compete with officials of any rank.As soon as Yun heard it, he knew that this second-handed guard had a heart to cause trouble, and was deeply afraid that Nian Gengyao would take his anger on him; he also thought that Nian Gengyao was so arrogant, so it would be better to show him some color.He couldn't make up his mind in a hurry, and it was hard to say anything in front of Sang Chengding, so he just sweated and got on the horse and walked slowly.

Xining is a small city with only [-] to [-] residents. It has been ravaged by war for a long time. The residents in the city fled and moved inward. It is actually a city of soldiers.Yun watched carefully on the horse, but he saw troops stationed at the houses on one side, and some guards of honor were set up at the gates. Soldiers stood upright every half an arrow along the street, holding swords at their waists, standing like nails without looking at each other. squint.It has been heard for a long time that Nian Gengyao managed the army well, it seems to be true.When approaching the gate of Xingyuan, the weather was even more severe. A big iron banner stood high outside the gate, and on the flag was a satin banner with yellow letters on a blue background: General Fuyuan was six years old in strong characters. Fluttering majestically in the westerly wind.On both sides of the broad general's courtyard, there are two iron plates more than ten feet high. On one side, it says "Civilian officials get off their sedan chairs and military officers get off their horses", and on the other side, they read "Secret and Avoid". They all have ferocious faces and are incomparably mighty.Yunzheng secretly sighed in surprise, the Xingyuan Banner officer had already strode out from the Dongyuan Gate, his bright spurs clanging on the stone floor, he bent one knee in front of Yunma, and said in a tie military salute: "General Nian has orders , Lord Jiu, please rest your horse here, the general will come out to meet you immediately!"

"Understood." Yun was shocked by the formidable military power here, nodded his head immediately, stepped down on the dismounting stone, and said: "General Shangfu, there is no need to go out to greet. Let's go in and pay homage."

The military academy agreed, got up and strode in to report back.In less than half a pack of cigarettes, I heard the drums and horns playing in the army, three cannons blasted like thunder, and the main gate of the camp opened with an uproar.There were more than forty people in two groups of military attachés. They stepped forward with their hands on their waists, swords and ink lines, and then saw Nian Gengyao coming out.He wears a three-eyed coral crown, a nine-python five-clawed robe and a brand-new bright yellow mandarin jacket. The sword hanging at his waist is hung with bright yellow suede. At a glance, it can be seen that it was given by Yongzheng.When the military academy outside the Yuanmen saw him coming out, they took off their horseshoe sleeves with a snap, knelt on one knee and saluted, and the hundreds of military academy outside the huge Yuanmen coughed up and ignored him.Nian Gengyao didn't even look at the crowd. He walked up to Yun without a smile on his face. He just hugged him with both hands and said, "Jiu Beile, Nian Gengyao has been waiting for a long time. If you don't meet me, you will offend me." !" Yun Ye bowed his hands and returned the salute, solemnly saying: "General, I came to serve in front of the army under the order. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, not to mention that I am a relative of the Qing Dynasty clan? From now on, I will serve under the general. , but if you are given an order, you must bow your head and obey it!" Nian Gengyao glanced at Mu Xiang'a and other ten guards wearing yellow mantles, then turned to Yun and said: "Nine Masters are the nobles of Heaven, Nian is being rude. ——Please come to the back tent, Master Jiu, and I will wash the dust for Master Jiu!" After saying that, he gave up his hand and left ten guards outside the door, ignoring him.Yun and Nian Gengyao walked in side by side, but they felt uneasy in their hearts.As he walked, he whispered: "Mu Xiang'a and the other ten are all servants of the emperor. General, please show some dignity!"

"Yeah." Nian Gengyao pondered for a while, called a banner officer, and said, "These ten generals are tired from afar, so don't wait too long. You take them to a reception in Xiguanyu. Their assignments will be divided tomorrow. Dial it!" Then he walked away.For those who are interested, as they walked, they heard Mu Xiang'a's voice behind him from a distance: "I'm going to tell you, General Nian, I've already eaten and drank enough, what kind of fart is it?" , but his face was expressionless, only the veins on his forehead twitched imperceptibly.No wonder the starling said that Nian Gengyao had two faces, that he was a modest gentleman in Beijing, and that he was a demon king when he was out of Beijing.I also think that I am a golden branch and a jade leaf, and I am sent here to be with people like Nian Gengyao, and I have to humble myself, and I feel sad.Nian Gengyao saw that Yun's face was filled with sorrow and joy, so he made a good guess, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he made room for the study, and said: "The bitter cold outside the Great Wall, it's just like this, Jiuye will get used to it after living for a long time." Yes. There is a slight turning point in the war, and I will definitely play to the Emperor Ming so that Master Jiu can return to Beijing in a dignified manner."

This is a large study room, but there are no books.A few simple and clumsy wooden shelves are piled up with military posts. A wooden sand table in the west is filled with small flags in black and yellow, occupying almost half of the study room. In the east, there are bearskin mattresses on the big kang. There is probably an earth dragon burning underground. There is no smoke, but it is so hot that it is hot.When the two came in, Sang Chengding was already inside, and a table of rich food had been placed in front of the kang.Seeing the two of them coming in, Sang Chengding lowered his hands and said, "Master, where is Master Jiu staying? Please tell me so that I can prepare for it." Nian Gengyao said, "Master Jiu is not an ordinary person. Clean up the east study room, remove the sand table over there to the signing room in the main hall, tomorrow you can take Jiu Ye to the city to have a look, Jiu Ye loves to read, pick a book from the book store and put it in the east study room ——Jiuye, please!"

Yun sat down at the banquet table and said with a smile: "Liang Gong, I only heard about it in Beijing, but this time it was an eye-opener. I saw your true colors as a hero, and it was convincing! Although I am not hungry, this glass of dust-cleaning wine from you There is still something to eat, please sit down!"

"Greetings to Lord Jiu!"

In an instant, Nian Gengyao seemed to be a different person, with a smile on his face. In the astonishment of Yun, Nian Gengyao fell down and kowtowed. Say? I'm not a leader or an overseer, I'm—"

"You are the ninth master." Nian Gengyao said with a smile, "National rituals must not be slowed down, and family rituals must not be discarded. They must be clearly distinguished. Please forgive me for being condescending." He said again: "Gengyao is a general who reads books. In the final analysis, the ruler and his ministers still understand. In fact, what you are doing here, we have a tacit understanding. I will definitely not let Master Jiu suffer from me."

This is a very thorough and sympathetic statement. Yun was moved for a moment, picked up his cup and drank it down, and said, "Lianggong, you are such a character! If you don't tell lies in front of real people, I won't be afraid to fight with you." Shallow talk and deep talk. Although the emperor and I are brothers, we have had a lot of grievances over the years. Since ancient times, the successful are the princes and the defeated are the thieves. I don't understand why. They are brothers and "thieves". That's all I say It doesn't matter whether you secretly report to the emperor or punish me on the spot. But I regard you as a man in my heart, and now I rely on you to pray for peace——I swear to God, if I have the heart to rebel and usurp the throne , there is such a glass!" As he spoke, he smashed the wine glass in his hand to pieces! "Jiuye!" Nian Gengyao shouted, but couldn't continue. It took him a long time to calm down, and said, "Why do you have to do this? Previously, each was his master, so there was no right or wrong. Now that he is a minister, he just needs to keep his position and obey his orders." , I will not do villainous things!"

"Let's send this little money home." Seeing that the time has come, Yun took out a bank note from his sleeve and handed it over, "I heard that the third day of November is the 10th birthday of the old uncle, and I wanted to go there in person." It's a pity that the emperor's order was too hasty, and he left Beijing in a hurry, and even brother Ling didn't have time to meet. It's more convenient to speed up the delivery within six hundred miles." Nian Gengyao declined and said, "How can my father be able to afford it? You spent money on it. There are so many places to go!" Zhan Zhan glanced at it, and saw that it was a leading bank note of [-] taels that was redeemed at sight. He was surprised and happy, and he clenched his hands tightly, and said in his mouth: "This is really——" Seeing Wang Jingqi coming in with a stack of documents, Nian Gengyao hurriedly gathered the banknotes into his sleeves, his face became threatening again, and he changed his words: "In that case, I will drink this cup with Master Jiu." Dump the cup in one swoop.He turned around and asked, "What documents did you send sooner or later? Where did you get the military newspaper?"

Holding the documents in his arms, Wang Jingqi bowed to Nian Gengyao, looked up at Yun, and both of them looked away.Wang Jingqi said: "This is kept in Dongshufang. Mr. Sang Chengding asked me to hug it here. Please show me, general, where to put it?"

"Just put it on the kang table." Nian Gengyao ordered, and when he saw that Wang Jingqi was about to leave, he stopped and said, "Are you Wang Jingqi in the copywriting above? Your handwriting is good, and the poems you write are also very impressive. I think the few items you posted are very organized—I have already told Sang Chengding to wait in the room, do you know?" Before Wang Jingqi could answer, Yun pretended to be surprised and said, "Wang Jingqi! Are you Isn’t it Mr. Wang Jingtang Wang who drafted the "Discussion of Galdan" for the emperor under the curtain of Suo Zhongtang in the battle of Ulan Butong?"

Wang Jingqi seemed to be taken aback, and said with a smile: "The Luotuo scholar has been buried for decades, but someone still remembers it! Are you—?" "This is Lord Jiubeile!" This amazing experience—more than [-] years have passed since the Battle of Ulan Butong, and I was still a general at the time, but this person has already served as the counselor of Suo'etu, the famous prime minister of the Xi Dynasty, in the camp of the Chinese army!Thinking about it, I couldn't help being solemn, and stood up and said: "Unexpectedly, I'm still a senior and sage! - I really wronged you." Wang Jingqi smiled bitterly and said: "You are old and the sun is so close to dusk. You can't talk about the past. Mr. Sang said, tomorrow-"

"What tomorrow is today?" Nian Gengyao said with a smile, "It's at this time, you stay here. Jiang is old and spicy. I have hundreds of staff here, but none of them can really do things. Speaking of romance, poetry and songs, playing the piano Playing chess, one can speak more eloquently than the other. But here I am on the battlefield, and the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. One loss of opportunity is a disaster for the whole country, and it will be a disaster for millions of lives. What do I want these sycophants and puppies? Mr. Wang, come here Come on! Sit together, I'm going to have a detailed discussion with you about your case!"

The three of them were giving up their seats, when Sang Chengding hurried in, glanced at Yun, but didn't speak immediately.Nian Gengyao then asked, "What's the matter?" Sang Chengding bowed slightly and said, "Back to the handsome man, the guards of Xiguanyu got drunk and fought with some of the handsome man's personal soldiers! "

"I'll deal with it." Nian Gengyao stood up slowly, and sneered, "I know these people, except for bullying goodness, they have no ability at all. Mr. Wang, you sit with Master Jiu—come on, pass the second rank and above lieutenant general Generals, all come to the commander's account, and wait for my commander's promotion!" Then he left the study.In an instant, there was already the sound of hurried footsteps outside.Even Li Yun and Wang Jingqi in the study felt that the atmosphere was getting tense.Seeing that there was no one there, Yun Fang quietly asked Wang Jingqi: "Wang Jingqi's word Wuji, whose name is Xingtang, who is this Sang Chengding?" Gengyao's father, he saved Nian Gengyao in Erjina, defended Nian Gengyao from arrows, and was shot in the back by more than 30 arrows..."

Nian Gengyao rushed to Xiguanyu, and it was already a mess.The two tables of banquets were turned upside down, the cups, plates and bowls were smashed to pieces, the wine and meat all over the floor were trampled to rotten sauce, and the yellow jackets of the ten guards were stained with oil stains, standing at the south end with their swords , more than a dozen soldiers of the Chinese Army Xingyuan drew their swords and glared, standing at the north end, as long as there is one person who is not cautious, there will be a sword and gun here, and a fight for life!Seeing Nian Gengyao come in with a gloomy face, more than a dozen soldiers knelt down.The first soldier said: "General, they insulted you, brothers persuaded, they still use force to beat people first!"

"You just remembered to report to me now? It's too late!" Nian Gengyao's face was bruised, and his hoarse voice was creepy: "Give me everything!"

What does "get rid of hands" mean, none of Mu Xiang'a can understand.While he was in a daze, more than a dozen soldiers on the opposite side agreed with a "Zha" and raised their sharp waist knives high up. The light of the knives flashed almost at the same time, and a dozen left hands were chopped off to the ground!The ten guards suddenly turned pale with fright.

Nian Gengyao grinned and said, "Very good! Each person will distribute 3000 taels of silver and be transferred to the Shaanxi Military Food Department to support them." Nian Gengyao turned his face to Mu Xiang'a again, snorted, and said with a vicious smile: "They are standing Those who have achieved military exploits will be spared death. You disturb Xingyuan, how should we deal with it?" Mu Xiang'a came to his senses at this moment, knowing that Nian Gengyao was here to show his power, and he refused to show weakness, so he gave Nian Gengyao a provocative look. Said: "You play the emperor, what to do, it doesn't matter!" Nian Gengyao burst out a sentence through the gaps of his teeth: "I am the special general, and I sent you sons of bitches, why should I alarm the emperor?"

"Back to your general," Mu Xiang'a smiled teasingly, "My mother is Princess Heshuo, born of the Holy Ancestor, not a bitch!"

Nian Gengyao stared at him for a long time, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, stopped him abruptly, and said: "Okay, you're good enough for me—to raise the tent!" Then he turned his back and left.

"General Nian has been promoted!"

"General Nian has been promoted!"

A sound of paging is transmitted from near to far.
