The setting sun in winter is hypocritical. It makes people immersed in the illusion of nothingness, as if they are being bathed in the sun. In fact, when it shines on people's bodies, they can't feel a trace of temperature, and some just shiver constantly.

Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng stood side by side on the top of the city, looking at the corpses of Xifu soldiers scattered outside the city. The flesh on their faces was twitching. He wanted to curse Lu Ping, but he couldn't. He completed the task of seizing the city to the letter.

In the mission, he won against 50,000 Zhu Mu's barbarian soldiers, but he left nearly 8,000 Xifu athletes sleeping forever at the foot of Ma'an Mountain. The grief in Meng Yan's heart was unspeakable.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Gu Qingfeng asked slightly, she could see that Meng Yan was on the verge of going berserk.

Meng Yan held it in for a long time, then hammered the wall with all his strength, and said quietly: "Report to Chencheng. Zangdao won a great victory, and the formation killed 30,000 people."

"What about General Lu Ping? You can't let it go like this, right?" Gu Qingfeng reminded specifically that she also hated Lu Ping, but it was really not the time to deal with him.

"The documents for the title promotion will be sent as usual, and the 'Marquis of Liangshan County' will be changed to 'Marquis of Liangshan County', and he will be transferred to the deputy envoy of Changsha Army and the governor of Liling." Meng Yan said expressionlessly.

Gu Qingfeng was stunned. When she first arrived at the racecourse, she was treated politely by Lu Ping. She knew this was what Jin Qian meant. Seeing that she was deeply trusted by Meng Yan, people like Jin Qian who had no foundation in Xifu were moved.

Jin Qian's kindness was not rejected, but no one expected Lu Ping to be so brainless. Firstly, he launched a fierce attack on Zanggan without asking for Meng Yan's permission. Secondly, after the tragic victory, he still sounded like a winner.

It was taboo to chatter in front of Meng Yan. Even if he wanted to say something for him, he didn't dare to speak again after hearing Meng Yan's arrangement. Changing the word "Liang" to "Liang" made Meng Yan's attitude clear.

"My subordinates understand, what are the arrangements for Zang Dao? Which general should be transferred?" As Meng Yan's senior counselor, Gu Qingfeng has to be responsible for Meng Yan. After Zang Dao, he must quickly capture Zhu Ti and Na Yong.

Block Zhu Mu's family in the southwest.

"How is Meng Huan's injury?"

This sudden question made Gu Qingfeng, who had a keen sense of smell, smell something. It seemed that His Highness was about to start recruiting new people. Meng Huan's status was very special. He was firstly Meng Yan's younger brother, and secondly Ye Shuai's first disciple. He

Having served as Yu Geng's lieutenant general, managed Shaoling's affairs, and experienced the entire "Jingyue Incident", there would be no problem at all for such a person to come and take over the vanguard army, and there would not even be any objections in Xifu.

"Eleventh Lang's injury is completely fine. You can come over. It's just that the troops cannot be replenished and the Hezhou Army can't be used. The Hezhou Army's front line has been stretched too long and has reached its limit." Gu Qingfeng fully agreed with Diao Menghuan's coming over.

, but the problem of troop sources is indeed before us.

Meng Yan thought for a while and said: "Twenty thousand people were transferred from the Hengyang Army and the Baoqing Army each. Meng Huan was appointed governor of Zangzhou, and Gu Sheng was transferred to be the commander of Zanggan. In this way, the Military Council was notified for record."

Gu Qingfeng was a little surprised when he heard Gu Sheng's name. Gu Sheng was considered his clan brother. He was transferred to Commander Qing shortly after the Battle of Hengyang. Could it be that there was something wrong with Gu Sheng during the Battle of Dongchuan?

Seeing Gu Qingfeng's hesitation, Meng Yan explained: "Qingfeng, I didn't transfer Gu Sheng here because he has a problem. Eleventh Lang is still young after all. Gu Sheng has been serving as a middle-level general all year round, and he still has a certain mentality and management of soldiers.

Yes, the purpose of letting him come to assist Shi Yilang is to strengthen our strength. A total of nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses will become like this city if we are not careful, do you understand?"

Gu Qingfeng nodded, "Brother of the clan has the ability to maintain integrity. As a deputy, he is qualified. If my subordinates realize their mistakes, they will take action immediately." After saying that, he turned around and walked down the tower.

Meng Yan looked at Gu Qingfeng's figure with a troubled look on his face. Haoyue's last words and the contact over the past six months, it's not that he didn't have wisdom, he was emotional, but the reason why he couldn't express his attitude was that Gu Qingfeng came from the old family.

, her demands for family affection and power are not enough to qualify as the mistress of the West Mansion. Even if she indulges Haoyue and creates the "Fire" organization, it is because Haoyue's thoughts are completely towards herself. The ultimate thought of "Flame" is to be loyal to herself.

But Gu Qingfeng couldn't do it. Seeing that Gu Qingfeng's thin figure was about to disappear, he couldn't help but call her, "Qingfeng, the wind is blowing. Put on your cloak. The wind is very cold."

The reminder has been done, it just depends on her choice.

Gu Qingfeng trembled, then turned around and said with a pure smile: "What His Highness said is that I will put it on when I get down, arrange the deployment of troops, and also send a letter to my clan brother. Su Qing has complained to me for a long time.

Shu'er has been clamoring for me, so I just asked my clan brother to send her here."

Meng Yan smiled, and so did Gu Qingfeng. They are both smart people. They don’t need to say things clearly, as long as they get the meaning right. Gu Qingfeng’s choice did not disappoint Meng Yan. This was the first time she took the initiative to help Gu Qingfeng since she entered Xifu.

The family member wrote a letter. It seemed that the entanglement in her heart was gone, and it was time to plan to give the girl a title.

Gu Qingfeng's good mood cannot affect Gu Xifeng who is far away in Shizhu. He has been unable to hold on for the past few days. News from all directions has come together in a mess. Yang Bo has stopped making any moves since he arrived in Kaizhou. He can understand Yang Bo's caution.

, after all, Cao Li was hit again. He was killed by Chen Zhiqing as soon as he arrived in Fengdu. He abandoned his helmet and armor and led 7,000 remnant soldiers back to Fuling. It is said that he was still lying on the bed unable to move. He was now killed by Chen Zhiqing like a turtle in a urn.

Being sandwiched between Gu Yanfeng and Gu Yanfeng, what was even more uncomfortable was that after the two people formed a pincer attack, there was no movement at all. Instead, they were celebrating the New Year. If they had something good to do, they gave me some advice. They took the opportunity to make a sneak attack and almost made their noses crooked. However, this man was relieved and comforted.

After talking for a while, he was allowed to go back.

"Master, there is someone asking to see you." Gu Yun quietly closed the door and whispered. After Yuanjiang's defeat, Gu Yun, who had been serving as Gu Qingfeng's bodyguard, walked to the stage and became Gu Xifeng's deputy general.

"Wanzhou or Fengdu?" Gu Xifeng said with a frown. In his heart, he hoped that this envoy would come from Fengdu.

"This is Wanzhou. This person is unusual. You'd better meet him in person." Gu Yun obviously had something in his words.

Gu Xifeng immediately felt a bad feeling in his heart. For Gu Yun to be like this, the person coming must be unusual. Could it be Gu Sheng? Gu Sheng is the brother of Gu Yun's clan. Only when Gu Sheng comes over will Gu Yun be allowed to leave.

It's so difficult.

"Wait until they come, be careful, the Night Guard's ears are not for decoration."

Not long after, Gu Yun led three people dressed as Gu Xifeng's army over. After Gu Yun respectfully sent the three people in, he stood guard outside.

Just when Gu Xifeng was wondering, the moment the visitor raised his head, he was so shocked that Gu Xifeng opened his mouth wide and shouted excitedly: "Brother..." He suddenly stopped, tried his best to change his face, and said coldly: "It turns out to be the Marquis of Hengshan of the West Prefecture.

We’ve arrived, but I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

"Jiu Lang, is this necessary?" Gu Yanfeng was actually worried. Qing Shuai originally planned to transfer Nie Huan, but in order to prevent the situation in Dongchuan from being corrupted, he was the best candidate. Gu Xifeng and himself

We have a very good relationship. We grew up together and studied together. We are like brothers.

"Let's be honest, you dare to come to my army at this time just to talk about family matters with me, right?" Gu Xifeng's words were somewhat filled with hatred. As the saying goes, it is the people closest to you who are hurt the most.

"We have to talk about family matters and we have to do business. I just don't know which one Jujiro wants to talk about first?" Gu Yanfeng knew Gu Xifeng too well. His hatred meant that he still had feelings. Anger and impulsiveness were his weakness. Obviously, this

The initiative in this meeting was biased towards me.

"What family matters are there between you and me? The Gu family is gone, but you turned to the thieves! What a happy life! Marquis of Hengshan!" Gu Xifeng's tone became more and more fierce, until he was hysterical. It was so uncomfortable that the thousand-year-old family collapsed instantly.

, the family was broken up and people died.

"The head of the family is still alive, and so is Jiuniang."

This simple and plain sentence made Gu Xifeng collapse instantly. He slumped down on the chair and murmured: "They are still alive? Still alive!" He smiled and cried.

"Prince Jincheng is not as hateful as you think. He sent people to send the family master to Bihai City. For the safety of the family master, this matter has been kept secret. No one in Xifu knows about it, but Jiuniang and I still have a few

He is a key figure in Xifu." Seeing Gu Xifeng's state, Gu Yanfeng immediately put down all his worries.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive," Gu Xifeng suddenly seemed to have discovered something and immediately became alert, "My sister is still in Xifu?"

"Jiuniang is now the deputy general manager of the prince's inner court. In fact, he is the deputy of Chenghou Su Qing of the Mingjian Division. He is deeply trusted by the prince."

"Impossible! You are lying to me! There is absolutely no way that my sister will work for Montessori!"

"I don't need to lie to you. Jiuniang has always been with the prince. After the 'Jiyue incident', she single-handedly took over the management of the inner courtyard of the prince's palace. Even Qingshuai must treat her with courtesy when he sees her." Gu Yanfeng deliberately said

Explain Gu Qingfeng's status clearly.

"How could Jiuniang do that?" Gu Xifeng was shocked, an expression of disbelief filled his face.

"Now that the family affairs have been settled, I will discuss official matters with you on behalf of the Xifu." Gu Yanfeng struck while the iron was hot.

"Uh, oh, you say." Gu Xifeng was absent-minded and had not yet come out of his emotions.

"You must be very aware of General Gu's current situation. Yong Xi's troops did not make any rescue operations after leaving the border and entering Sichuan. They do not trust you. It was a helpless move for you to seek refuge with Yuan Changli that day. It is worth sacrificing your life for such a person.

"?" Gu Yanfeng's words were sharp and to the point.

Gu Xifeng was silent. Gu Yanfeng's words and his family's situation were intertwined in his mind, like a tangled mess. He had no idea. He forced himself to say: "The life of the county prince is not easy. What are your conditions?"

"Stay neutral. If necessary, you can attack our West Mansion until His Highness's letter arrives. As for whether you will lead troops, serve as an official, or follow the family leader to Bihai City after the uprising, His Highness's wishes are yours to choose." Gu Yanfeng conveyed.

Meng Yan meant it, but he didn't quite agree with it in his heart. He believed that Gu Xifeng's uprising now would damage Cao Li's confidence even more.

Gu Xifeng was confused and completely confused about Meng Yan's intentions. This condition seemed simple, but in fact he was forcing himself to submit. No matter from a military or family perspective, it was impossible for him to continue to oppose Meng Yan. He was so cruel. All roads were open to him.

It was blocked.

"What do you want to do in the West? Dongchuan is not your ultimate goal, right?" Gu Xifeng's attitude has softened. The facts have been established and there is no difference in struggling. It is better to make some plans for the future of himself and his sister.

Gu Yanfeng smiled with satisfaction. Gu Xifeng was very smart. He had already made a choice, "Your Highness and Jiuniang have already taken the chopsticks."

Gu Xifeng looked at Gu Yanfeng in horror, and after a while he said: "The Xifu is so generous, are you going to destroy the Zhu Mu family?!"

Gu Yanfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was granted the title of King of Jincheng County, so he naturally has to work hard for his own fiefdom."

Gu Xifeng was stunned...
