Chapter 506 Chapter 509
Shen Mu smiled and said: "People said yes, how could I object. Ha! I never thought that the two Yangzhou twin worms, Ziling and I, could transform into dragons. I still feel unreal until now."

The way of false action: "After the Song Lord arrives, how should we cooperate with him?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Xingzhi seems a little afraid of him, right?"

Xu Xingzhi sighed: "Song Que's family background is prominent and his prestige is great, only Ning Daoqi can compare with him, and he is even more famous and proud. Who in the world is not in awe?"

Shen Mu said: "Don't worry! It can be seen that the announcement of me as the emperor and Yuzhi as the queen was proposed by Song Que. He also ordered his subordinates to declare that the Song family army is the young commander's army in front of me, and the two armies must be changed. As an army, the top and bottom are united. Compared with his old man, I am far behind in this aspect of insight. Our top priority now is to restore our strength, try our best to consolidate the territory before attacking Guanzhong, and then fight outside. The use of troops by the enemies in the south , all will be handed over to his old man, and we will become his backup. Supplies will be sent to Pengliang from Lingnan in an endless stream, and then the expeditionary army will be supported by water. When all the rivers are under our control, we will go to Shu and seize Hanzhong At the critical moment of the surprise attack on Chang'an, Duke Yang and the others will never sacrifice their lives in vain, and every drop of blood will be repaid."

Xu Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief and said: "The young commander explained clearly, and I began to let go of my heart. But I still don't understand that at this moment, when all the affairs in our country are pending, the young commander still insists on going to Chang'an in person?"

Shen Mu leaned against the back of the chair, heaved a long sigh of relief, was in a daze for a while, met Xu Xingzhi's questioning eyes, smiled wryly, and said, "If I want to make it sound grand, I would say that I want to experience everything in Chang'an personally. To prepare for the fierce street battles in the city in the future. To be honest, I want to leave the battlefield temporarily to relax. However, if someone asks you, it is best to provide a high-sounding answer."

Xu Xingzhi had nothing to say, so he had to agree.

Shen Mu suddenly became excited again, and said: "I'm not lazy in fact, as long as I win the old man and Shangmei to stand on our side, it will be more effective than winning several games in a row on the battlefield. What's more, I am here today. Chang'an is just going around, half a month sooner, or a month later, and I will return to Chenliu, and there will be a two-month safety period of ice."

Xu Xingzhi meditated for a while, finally showed a happy expression, nodded and said: "The subordinate understands! Young commander, don't worry!"

When Shen Mu was about to talk about other things, Chen Changlin rushed in like a whirlwind, and went straight to the seat of Marshal Shen Mu, knelt down on both knees, and said, "Young Marshal is the master of Chang Lin!"

Shen Mu was taken aback, left his seat to help him up, and said, "Brother Chang Lin, don't do this, everyone brothers, your business is my business, and I will try my best to help."

Tears welled up in Chen Changlin's eyes, and he said in a mournful voice, "Young Marshal, please dispatch an army and let me attack Kunling."

Shen Mu and Xu Xing were stunned and felt even more headache.Because Chen Changlin had hatred with Shen Faxing and his son for destroying the family, when he thought the time had come, he didn't have the patience to wait any longer.But now the situation is complicated, Shen Mu can't affect Song Que's overall combat strategy for some personal issues, because the most important strategic goal is to capture Chang'an, the heart of the Tang army, and other things have to be put aside for the time being.But how could Shen Mu have the heart to reject Chen Changlin, which disappointed him.

Shen Mu met Chen Changlin's gaze, and said with a smile, "I said earlier that your elder brother's business is my business. You can go to Xuan Yong to discuss it, and speed up the military training. First target Kunling, then Think of it as a warm-up battle before his mother's attack on Chang'an. No one is more familiar with the situation in the south of the Yangtze River than Brother Chang Lin. It is best to use our current momentum to send people to infiltrate Kunling, buy and divide Shen Faxing's generals. Love utilitarianism, greedy for life and afraid of death, everyone knows that Shen Faxing is not my opponent, so he will definitely rush to join us. His grandma's bear! Then we can avoid the siege battle and only fight in the street. Ha! Kill two birds with one stone , there is such a cheap thing in the world!"

……

Xu Ziling asked, "Why didn't you see Wuming? You were so reluctant to take it with you."

Shen Mu asked back: "Then why didn't Young Master Ling bring Madam Ling to let me see her true face in Lushan? Is Ziling willing to leave her?"

Xu Ziling said angrily, "You're in a good mood. But after you listen to what I'm going to tell you, it will destroy your mood."

Shen Mu said in shock: "Don't fool me, I can't bear another bad news."

The river wind blows, and the cold air is oppressive.

The two were talking on the railing at the stern, the ship was a fast fighting ship of the Young Marshal Army, it was transported southward along the river, and went to Dajiang. The boat that carried Xu Ziling to Chenliu was still outside the city, and the boatman was rewarded and greeted by the Young Marshal Army.

Yin Xianhe and Hou Xibai knew that the two brothers had important matters to discuss, so they tactfully avoided to the cabin.

The clouds in the sky were heavy and drooping, and the temperature plummeted, as if heavy snow was coming.

Xu Ziling said dejectedly: "Feixuan knows the secret of Duke Yang's treasury."

Shen Mu lost his voice: "What?"

Xu Ziling told in detail what he told his concubine Xuan's treasure house to be true or false.

Shen Mu suddenly said: "No wonder you say it will spoil my mood. But I am still in a very good mood, because I am confident that Shi Feixuan is not this kind of person, and she will not directly intervene in the war and cause more killings. "

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly and said, "But Shi Zhixuan said that when the dispute between the world becomes a dispute between you and Li Shimin, Concubine Shixuan has no other choice but to intervene. If she reveals the secret of the treasure house, Li Shimin will guess all of us. Deployment, try to counterattack."

Shen Mu said: "Damn it! Even if you know, so what, at most everyone will fight hard with swords and guns. But I still have a [-]% certainty that Feixuan is not this kind of person. If Ling Shao cares about it, there will be chaos. At that time, we only need to enter the treasure house Take a look and you will know the truth."

Xu Ziling told the truth, and the guilt in his heart was greatly reduced.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Let me answer your previous question. Now I have a special person to take care of Wuming and take care of it properly. I can't take it into the customs anyway, so I keep it in the army. Hehe! Do you know us? With the addition of a cute little girl, Xuanshu is still very interesting to her."

Xu Ziling asked in surprise, "Little girl?"

Shen Mu nodded and said: "It's a little girl pretending to be a boy. This matter is a long story, full of strange causal relationships. In the future, I have answered your question in detail, and it's your turn to tell me about Shi Qingxuan. "

It was only then that Xu Ziling understood his "bad intentions", and said calmly, "Shi Qingxuan and I seem to have a clue, she promised to come to me after she promised to go to Jingzhai to pay homage to her mother."

Shen Mu was overjoyed and said: "Congratulations, Young Master Ling, I finally got it!" Xuan sighed again: "I have a very distressing problem, and I need your brother to help you use your brain to solve it."

Xu Ziling said in surprise: "Your good mood is fake, it seems that it has something to do with the beauty too?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "Don't get distracted, my problem has nothing to do with the beauties at all, but that I don't want to be an emperor."

Xu Ziling was stunned and said, "Aren't you joking? You said that you don't want to be emperor after getting the land you have today. How will you explain to Song Que? How will you explain to your brother who was born and died with you?"

Shen Mu said without shame: "So I want to trouble your nimble little head and come up with a good plan for me. I have seen Li Yuan's miserable situation as the emperor, how can I not wake up? If you are an emperor, if you sit in the emperor's prison, the palace is not An open prison, if I were really an emperor, I would never want to squat on the street with a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat and talk foul words. How can such a life be lived? My ideal is the same as Ling Shao, but I want the common people to be stable, while I live a happy life, even if I marry a wife and have children in the future, I will be your neighbor, Ling Shao, otherwise teach me how to live without you?"

Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said: "I'm afraid no one can help you with this matter, because you have no other choice. Now you can only sacrifice yourself for others and plan for the people of the world, not for yourself. Frankly speaking, in my heart, apart from Li Shimin, , the most suitable person to be an emperor is you, because I know that you will do your best to seek happiness for all people, and foreign people dare not invade because of you."

Shen Mu was speechless.

Xu Ziling pondered and said: "The biggest problem is still Song Que. If you become the emperor and his daughter becomes the queen, then of course everything will be fine. But if you retreat, no one can predict his reaction."

Shen Mu said: "Besides, we still have two things that need to be resolved urgently."

Xu Ziling looked at him in astonishment.

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "The first problem is Brother Li, no matter how dissatisfied we are with him for not marrying Sister Su and marrying someone else, he is always our brother, and he is in Chang'an, if we attack Chang'an, we accidentally kill him Get rid of it, and you will never have peace of mind in the days to come."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Do you want to find a chance to meet him after Chang'an?"

Shen Mu spread his hands and said, "Of course I have such a plan, and the best way is to tell him the pain face to face, and persuade him to leave the Li family immediately."

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "He won't listen. You and I should know what kind of person Li Jing is."

Shen Mu said: "Another way is to capture him and Hongfu girl alive before attacking the city to save his and his wife's lives. This will require your help, Young Master Ling, plus the three brothers Ba, Hou, and Yin. Boy, it shouldn't be too difficult to do."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "This is the only way out, and be on the safe side. Today's trip to Chang'an should not disturb him, lest he be embarrassed. Because today is different from the past, we have become the mortal enemies of the Li family, and we are even more irreconcilable with Li Shimin. The other way What's the problem?"

Shen Mu showed a happy expression, leaned into his ear and said softly: "We are going to visit the owner of the beauty anyway, why don't we propose marriage to the beauty Shang for Second Brother Song?"

Xu Ziling lost his voice: "Aren't you joking?"

Shen Mu said solemnly: "How could I make fun of this kind of thing. Now that the times have changed, Shang Meiren will no longer regard us as a scourge, and she is happy to get close to us. Since Shang Meiren is in love with Song Erge's concubine, we just need to put Once the red thread is drawn, it will come naturally! Ha! Is there a marriage that is more perfect than this? It is a marriage between a husband and a concubine, and it is a family to a family, a noble pair, Song Que will definitely not object."

Xu Ziling said angrily, "Second Brother Song and Shang Xiuxun have only met each other two or three times, so how can there be any love for a concubine?"

Shen Mu said: "You should be more aware of Shangmei's temperament than I am. If you are not interested in Second Brother Song, why would you talk to him as soon as you meet him? Sigh! Don't you understand? It’s a good way for brother not to spend his whole life alone with his mother buried in Xiaogu, do you have any other good ways?”

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "But I still don't think it's appropriate to overthrow the seedlings, otherwise the good things will be ruined by being self-defeating."

Shen Mu said confidently: "Shanren has his own clever plan, we don't propose marriage for now, but we want to pave the way for their bright future, and then get them together, and they will still be inseparable even when thunder strikes. "

Xu Ziling said: "You always have a solution for other people's affairs, why can't you do anything about your own affairs?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "This is called a fan of the authorities, so I want to ask you for advice. You mentioned Shi Zhixuan just now, have you seen him recently?"

Xu Ziling told about the three encounters with Shi Zhixuan, and finally said: "I hope my feeling is wrong, and Shi Zhixuan has no flaws."

Shen Mu disagreed and said: "At least he didn't kill you kid, it's a big flaw. In fact, everyone can't be an exception, so it's better than Shi Zhixuan and Song Que, and there are always their obstacles."

Xu Ziling asked in surprise, "Song Que has a flaw?"

Shen Mu said: "I don't know if it's Song Que's flaw. But he seems to have special feelings for Feixuan's master, Fan Qinghui. He didn't dare to go to Jingzhai to read the sword manual because he was afraid of seeing her. Is this a flaw?"

Xu Ziling said angrily: "This is completely different from Shi Zhixuan's flaw."

After the sun sank into the distant mountains on the west bank of the canal, it weakly diffused a little afterglow in the depths of the thick clouds.

Shen Mu suddenly asked: "Based on your supernatural feeling, do you have the confidence to help Boy Yin find his little sister?"

Xu Ziling said blankly: "I'm not a god, how do I know?"

Shen Mu smiled and said: "My spiritual sense is stronger than yours in this matter. Because I understand the Buddhist principle of multiplication of cause and effect better. Take the newly recruited little girl as an example, do you still remember when we accompanied Shang Meiren to Xiangyang? On the way, the little girl wanted to grab my purse. After I grabbed her, not only did I not blame her, but also gave her a piece of gold, so she came to inform me and saved me. This is the cause and effect. Your coincidence Boy Yin, it’s the karmic cycle in the dark, where there is a cause, there must be an effect. So I’m sure you can get the answer from Ji Meiren.”

Xu Ziling nodded and said, "I hope it's as you said!"

The two suddenly felt something, and looked up at the sky at the same time.The snowflakes in the sky are falling slowly.

Shen Mu opened his mouth wide, swallowed a icy snowflake, and cheered, "The two-month decisive period will start from this moment. When winter turns to spring, the world will no longer belong to the Li family, but to me, Shen Mu." Commander Xu quickly use my brain to avoid the calamity of being forced to be emperor."

Hou Xibai came to Shen Mu's other side, and said happily: "Snow will assimilate the world into a pure white and beautiful world. Hey! Why is the young commander so sad?"

Xu Ziling felt the joy of snowflakes hitting his head, and said with a smile: "He is worrying about being the emperor."

Hou Xibai laughed dumbly and said, "This is a problem that I and the ant people are not qualified to worry about."

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "Frankly speaking, this is not the trouble that bothers me the most. What makes me heartbroken is that Song Yuzhi will never forgive me! Both of you are experienced, my younger brother's senior, can you think about it for me?" Method."

Hou Xibai said solemnly: "There is only one way for a woman to forgive you, and that is to do something that will move her to such an extent that she will forget everything. Usually I draw a picture and write a poem is more than enough."

Shen Mu said: "I don't know how to write pictures, let alone recite poems. How can I move her? Could it be that playing the eight tricks in the well from the first trick to the eighth trick, or taking her to watch me fight, is probably counterproductive. "

Hou Xibai said earnestly: "Of course it will only work if you take the right medicine. What kind of person is Miss Song and what are her likes and dislikes?"

Shen Mu said with shame on his face: "She is a good woman who adheres to principles and ideals, has a stubborn temperament and is gentle and affectionate. As for what she likes, hey! I haven't worked hard on this aspect yet."

Hou Xibai asked tirelessly, "Then what principles and ideals does she have?"

Shen Mu coughed and said in embarrassment: "It's just a feeling. I don't know what she really thinks in her heart. She misunderstood that my marriage proposal to her Song family was a political conspiracy, so she never forgave me. She is a peaceful faction in the family, and she doesn't want the Song family to get involved in the war."

Hou Xibai stared at him blankly for a while, then smiled wryly, "Then do you really love her?"

Xu Ziling interjected: "In the beginning, he may have been uncertain and lacked affection, but now I am sure that he is deeply affectionate. Miss Yuzhi is a person who loves peace and hates war. She has a compassionate heart, so seeing Shen Mu is warlike and fears that the world will not be chaotic, so she feels disgusted. There is only one way to completely change her perception of Shen Mu."

Shen Mu rejoiced and said, "Quickly say it!"

Xu Ziling said lightly: "I just have a faint feeling that there is a way to return to heaven, but I haven't been able to grasp it in detail. I will tell you when I think about it! There is a saying that 'sincerity makes gold and stone open', as long as you treat her Love can stand the test, she will forgive you one day."

Hou Xibai patted Shen Mu on the shoulder and said: "Zi Ling's words are deeply reasonable. We will help you find the best way to make the beauty of the Song family change their minds towards you."

Shen Mu said helplessly: "I rely on you all! Alas! My heart is so contradictory and chaotic, I want to throw everything away to see her, but I'm afraid of offending her."

Xu Ziling said: "The most urgent thing for you now is to put aside the personal feelings of your children and make full preparations for the final victory. Don't think that drawing the defensive map of Chang'an City is an easy task, but a arduous task. Li Yuan sent heavy soldiers It is impossible for the Imperial Guard General Command Post stationed at the Xuanwu Gate, the rear gate of Miyagi, to step up the field there. Therefore, even if a surprise attack can be launched in the city, it is still not guaranteed. The most feared thing is that before occupying any city gate, the It would be unimaginable to be crushed by the enemy."

Shen Mu said: "Do you still remember that day when I went to Liu Zhenghui's Ministry of Industry in the name of researching architecture, and looked at the map of the Tunfang houses in the Yuema Bridge area? He said that he could only enter with the approval of Li Yuan, so he didn't know what was hidden in Liu Zhenghui. According to my guess, it was the military layout of Chang'an City, so as long as we can go to the secret room to take a sheep, we can save A lot of work."

Hou Xibai still had lingering fears and said, "Are you going to sneak into Miyagi again? That's not a joke!"
