Hello Chang’an

Yan Chenglu resisted the urge to explode and asked in a solemn voice: "May I ask what the official's position is in intervening in this matter?"

"It's not about interfering." Chang Sui Ning said: "Since they have entered the realm of my Huainan Dao, they will naturally come under my jurisdiction, Chang Sui Ning. If I say no, then it won't do."

Huainan Daojie?

Yan Chenglu frowned and heard the soldier beside him whisper: "General, we seem to have entered the border of Mianzhou..."

Mianzhou is one of the Thirteen Prefectures of Huainan Road. It is the only city among the Thirteen Prefectures located south of the Han River. More than ten years ago, when Jiangnan was not divided into east and west roads, it was still under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Road, but now It indeed belongs to Huainan Road.

When Yan Chenglu and others were chasing these people, they had unknowingly stepped into the territory of Mianzhou.

But even if they have never stepped foot in, Chang Sui Ning still has something to say. She can always find a reason for what she wants to do, and even if she really can't find it, she can casually come up with some nonsense. It all depends on whether she needs it or not.

Yan Chenglu suppressed his dissatisfaction: "Even if we accidentally entered Mianzhou, these people are Yuezhou people!"

"It used to be, but not now." The **** horseback said in a very ordinary tone: "They are refugees. All the refugees who enter our Huainan Road will be settled by Huainan Road."

Yan Chenglu almost couldn't suppress his anger: "...We have never heard of such rules!"

"This is our Huainan Road's new policy!" Shepherd's Purse sneered: "Now that you are stepping on the territory of our Huainan Road, you should act in accordance with our rules!"

"It is inappropriate for Huainan Road to act like this!" Yan Chenglu couldn't suppress it anymore and asked loudly: "We were ordered by the saint and the Korean Duke to resettle the people affected by the epidemic, but I don't know where the envoy Chang Jie got the power to stop us!"

Facing Yan Chenglu who was on the verge of rage, Chang Sui Ning still raised his eyebrows calmly and asked: "Power? How do you have the power to decide the whereabouts, life and death of these people?"

Before Yan Chenglu could speak, Chang Suining said on his own: "Did the power in your hands be granted by a saint or a Korean prince? And no matter who granted it, this so-called power is just because you have a knife in your hand, which is stronger than these with force." Just common people—"

The essence of power is the product of disparity in power.

"At this time, I consider myself stronger than you, so naturally it is me who has the final say." Chang Suining said in a relaxed and matter-of-fact tone: "You act in this way, and I am just following you. You and I share the same principle, so what's wrong with it?" ?”

These words sounded arrogant and straightforward, pure and explicit.

No matter how hard you try to beautify power, you can't change its essence of violence. There is no reason to explain it. If you have to make some reason, you can only do it with a knife -

Chang Suining sat on the horse and asked: "Do you want to talk to me about the truth?"

Yan Chenglu's face turned red with anger and depression.

Hearing the arrogance and threats hidden in Chang Suining's words, a captain beside Yan Chenglu couldn't bear it any longer: "If Chang Jie wants to intervene in this matter, he must first ask our army's commander, Mr. Han Guo, and us. The army of more than 100,000 people will not agree!"

While he was talking, in order to increase his momentum and make him more majestic, the captain pulled out his sword with a bang.

However, in the next moment, a sharp crossbow flew over and pierced his throat accurately.

The captain's eyes widened in shock, and he reached out to cover his throat. The long knife in his hand fell, and he also fell off his horse.

"How dare you hurt people!"

Yan Chenglu was shocked and angry. Because of this sudden turn of events, several nearby soldiers also drew their swords, but soon a crossbow flew over -

"Anyone who uses weapons without permission in our Huainan Dao realm will end up like this -" Chang Suining reminded: "If you don't want to die, just hold your swords in place."

Looking at the row of crossbowmen ready to go behind Chang Suining and the endless cavalry in sight, Yan Chenglu, who was about to draw his sword, gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his hand to stop the soldiers behind him from drawing their swords in a panic.

He looked at Chang Suining intently, reluctantly pushed back the half-sheathed sword, grabbed the reins, gritted his teeth and shouted: "...withdraw!"

At this moment, they are outnumbered. If a fight breaks out, they will be the only ones who suffer!

It's hard to swallow this breath...but when he reports to Mr. Han afterwards, there will be a day of reckoning in the future!

Huainan Road Chang Sui Ning...he wrote it down!

Yan Chenglu hurriedly retreated with a thousand soldiers. On the way, he saw a carriage guiding a group of fleeing epidemic-affected people. He immediately ordered in a tone of anger: "Shoot them all and leave no one behind!"

This is not the **** Huainan Road boundary after all!

However, before they could make any move, a team came towards them -

"General Xiao!" Yan Chenglu saw the leader clearly and smiled sarcastically: "General Xiao claimed to have been ill for many days, and there were many delays in the military orders issued by the commander... But now he has arrived just in time!"

Xiao Min's eyes were extremely cold: "The doctors sent by the saint have arrived, why are you slaughtering the people affected by the epidemic without permission!"

Looking at the man who was obviously pretending to be confused, Yan Chenglu sneered, not wanting to say anything more, and he rode away with his soldiers angrily but arrogantly.

Xiao Min knew that Yan Chenglu must have reported today's events to Li Xian, so he immediately asked people to gather the people who were still running around and let them gather in front.

Xiao Min soon met Chang Suining.

He got off the horse and walked quickly to Chang Suining, who was holding the horse. He clasped his fists with red eyes and saluted, but he lowered his head and was speechless.

Chang Suining looked at Xiao Min, who was pale, thin, with a messy beard and a depressed and messy look in front of him. Although he hadn't seen him for only a month, he gave off a completely different feeling.

Chang Suining handed the reins of the return date to shepherd's purse, and moved to the side with Xiao Min to talk.

Chang Sui Ning asked first: "Is there any problem with General Xiao's health now?"

"Before, I took preventive medicine soup every day... The high fever has subsided, so there should be no serious problems." Xiao Min's voice showed the hoarseness of the illness, as well as the unspeakable shame. He saluted Chang Sui Ning again and thanked him: "If you are very polite today, If we arrive in time, Xiao will not be able to erase his guilt even if he dies."

In his opinion, those people were placed by him, and if something happened to them, it would be his fault.

Chang Suining shook his head: "I was able to get here in time, thanks to General Xiao."

It is no accident that Chang Suining appears here precisely today.

After Xiao Min settled the people, he thought that Li Xian might have murderous intentions again, and he might fall down at any time due to his serious illness. The war situation was changing rapidly, and there might be something difficult to take into account. After thinking about it again, he chose Have someone send a message to Chang Suining, asking her to help—

In the letter, Xiao Min explained the causes and consequences to Chang Suining, as well as the place where the people were resettled.

In addition, he also sent the prescriptions he had managed to obtain to prevent the plague.

The rest are words of self-hate.

Xiao Min blamed his own negligence for the unwarranted plague that caused the people of Yuezhou to contract the plague.

However, the so-called "oversight" usually refers to the lack of supervision from top to bottom, and Xiao Min is under Li Xian in the military. The reason why Li Xian concealed the poisoning plan before was not to prevent Xiao Min from noticing, but to prevent the news. It leaked to Bian Jun’s ears—

But Xiao Min could not forgive his mistakes no matter what. He thought more than once, if he had noticed Li Xian's plan earlier, could he have prevented all this from happening?

Previously, his answer was yes. He thought that as long as he discovered it early, he would have a chance to stop it, until... he fell ill and fell into a coma. The first thing he heard after waking up was that the emperor denied the fact that Li Xian created the plague. , and attributed this to divine punishment.

At that moment, Xiao Min suddenly realized that he was still too "shallow".

When he learned that something had happened here, he forced himself to get up from his bed. On the way there, he saw the burned shacks and the imperial team that did nothing... Xiao Min knew that he hated himself for his negligence and tried to make up for this man-made disaster. , does not include the current court and the emperor.

Xiao Min stood here at this moment, supported only by the mental strength to make up for his mistakes. He asked almost self-doubtfully and suspiciously: "Xiao has always been stupid. Can Changjie tell Xiao... what should Xiao do?" People need to be saved, wars need to be fought, and chaos needs to be quelled. "Chang Sui Ning said to him, "General Xiao, don't doubt yourself, let's just try our best to do what we need to do."

Great principles are always illusory. Doing the things in front of you and taking the right path is the most practical thing.

"Xiao is afraid that he won't be able to do it well..." Xiao Min's eyes were red, and his voice was like fragments of a shattered sword scattered and humming: "I'm also afraid that this world... will never be better again."

"Then I'm just the opposite." Chang Suining looked at the people who were being comforted and Song Xian who was comforting the children, and said, "I think the world will definitely get better."

Xiao Min looked at her subconsciously.

But he saw the girl holding her hands behind her back and smiling: "General Xiao, have you forgotten? I was taught by an immortal—"

Immortal advice?

Oh, the original article in which he threatened to kill Xu Zhengye said...

Seeing that Chang Suining looked serious, Xiao Min asked: "But wasn't that made up by Hu?"

He wanted to say nonsense, but out of respect—

"It's true." Chang Sui Ning smiled half-seriously and looked across the bank.

Xiao Min followed her line of sight and saw that there were the states of Huainan Road, separated by rivers, which seemed to be insulated from the war.

The wind blew from the other side, silently dispelling Xiao Min's depression.

Immediately, Xiao Min raised his hand to wipe his tears.

He knew that as long as he could stand with Chang Jieshi, even if he heard her talk a little, it would always make people feel that there is hope for the future and that there is still a breeze in this world that can comfort all living beings.

After a moment, Xiao Min said in a sincere tone: "Xiao really misses those days during the Pingxu Zhengye Rebellion..."

Chang Suining could hear the meaning in his words. At such a good time, maybe she should invite Xiao Min to join her, but she thought about it and was not in a hurry to answer.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Min turned his gaze back from the other side to Chang Sui Ning, but said with determination: "Chang Jie Envoy... I'll stay here and finish the battle with Bian Jun, then go to Jiangdu to find the envoy!"

Chang Suining was not surprised and smiled with honor and admiration: "Okay, I will wait for General Xiao in Jiangdu."

She had predicted just now that although Xiao Min was disheartened by the current court, he would still choose to stay and continue to quell Bian Jun's rebellion.

Not for loyalty to the court, but for the common people.

He could put aside his fame and fortune, but he could not put aside his responsibility as a general.

Everyone's concept of the overall situation and their sense of morality are different. If Xiao Min led his soldiers to rebel and leave, ignoring the frontline war, causing the morale of the army to be shaken, then he would not be able to fall into self-hatred for the sake of the people of Yuezhou. .

He felt guilty for treating the people here, so he couldn't just let go and leave.

Seeing the understanding and respect in Chang Suining's eyes, Xiao Min also smiled, and his eyes regained their determination.

Afterwards, Chang Suining reminded: "No matter what, General Xiao should protect himself and always act with caution -"

Many times, the rules of this world and the people who manipulate them are even more unfair to those who are sincere.

Xiao Min knew what Chang Suining was referring to, and he responded seriously.

After a moment, Xiao Min thought about it and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Chief Changjie...what are your plans for the future?"

This sentence seems to be asked a little late, as if I have already bet myself on the gambling table, and then I think of asking - wait, which one am I betting on?

He had previously determined that Changjie Envoy would not have any counter-intentions, and he also used his own head as a guarantee...

But at this time, Xiao Min's definition of the word "anti-heart" was different from that time.

Chang Suining deliberately let it slip and said with a smile: "When General Xiao goes to Jiangdu in the future, it won't be too late to discuss it in detail in person."

Xiao Min laughed, nodded, and responded repeatedly: "Even if it is to get the answer, Xiao will have to go to Jiangdu one day."

However, no matter what decision Changjie makes, he is willing to follow it.

Some people have this magical ability that is enough to make people believe that whichever way they go is the right way.

Xiao Min hopes that he will have the opportunity to follow him.

But before that, he had to fulfill his responsibilities before he could do what he wanted to do with peace of mind.

Xiao Min looked at the people: "Chief Changjie, after these people..."

Chang Suining answered naturally: "Just leave it to me."

He added: "It is very inconvenient for me to interfere in matters outside Huainan Road. The infected people are still fleeing everywhere. I want General Lao Xiao to find them and send them to Mianzhou."

Xiao Min was indescribably moved, and he had already experienced the joy of having a reliable lord to support him.

This time Chang Sui Ning came not just to take a look. She did not come alone. She was accompanied by not only Jiangdu cavalry, but also hundreds of people who were proficient in medical skills. They were either from the Jiangdu people or from Wuer. The medical center of the hospital all recommended themselves.

Jiangdu's stability and progress have given these doctors more ability and confidence to be benevolent.

Whether they or Chang Suining, they were all ready to accept these people affected by the epidemic before they came.

There is another person, no, two people who are also prepared for this.

Soon, the two men were brought over.

"Ning Ning... I actually think it's really you!"

A slender figure in plain blue rushed over and hugged Chang Sui Ning, with the thrill of surviving the disaster and the joy of meeting again after a long separation.

Chang Sui Ning was surprised: "...Why is my sister here?"

Qiao Yumian wiped her embarrassed tears and briefly explained what happened.

Chang Sui Ning felt quite scared after hearing this. The motivation was really touching and the experience was really thrilling.

"Master is with me." Qiao Yumian whispered, looking back - Hey, where is her master?
