A delicate figure, under the cover of the night, sneaked to a ruined village temple that was completely abandoned due to war, and then entered the secret code with the guards guarding in the dark.

There were no lights in the dilapidated temple, and it was pitch black. A moonlight leaked from the broken roof as big as a collapsed wellhead. With the light emitted by the moonlight, it was blurry, and it was obvious that there was a person sitting on the corner of the house.

"Brother, I saw him. He didn't even read the letter. He said that Hu and Han were incompatible and refused."

Murong Zhe walked to the man, whispered the passage, hiding the part where he pretended to be his wife and was almost hurt by him.

The man in the corner of the room seemed not surprised by the result, and was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I expected it. It is impossible for him to nod."

"Brother, uncle... do you really want to divide the land with Li Mu in the future?"

Murong Zhe hesitated and asked.

The man snorted softly: "What else? What do you think he had ambition back then? Escape back to Longcheng, took Xiaoguan, and regained Dayan again. He was already satisfied. He guarded those border cities and became his Dayan Emperor. If it weren't for the pressure of his tribe members, he would have been unintentional even in Luoyang."

Murong Zhe bit his lip: "Brother, you must be careful and never make your uncle suspicious. Someone has already provoked him from his uncle, so please beware of you. If..."

She didn't say anything more, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.

Since the Murong family became rich in Longcheng, their ancestors have emerged in many generations, with many heroes. However, most of them died of misfortunes, and few people died of death.

Not to mention the distance, as she saw with her own eyes, there were only a few dozen uncles and brothers in my family, and now there are only a few left.

Of course, some people die from their opponents, but the disaster caused Xiao Wall to fight for the right to territory, many of them were killed by uncles, nephews, brothers, and even fathers and sons.

This seemed to have become a curse of Murong, and it has been unable to get rid of it for generations.

The man did not speak, slowly stood up from the ground and walked under the moonlight.

Shen waist and pan temples, jade faces are as bright as a shady person. The moonlight shines on the face of a handsome man, Murong Die, the elder brother of Murong Zhe.

He raised his head, looked through the tiled cave above his head, looked at the moon for a while, and said, "Take people immediately, sneak to the Southern Dynasty and do something for me."

He attached himself to Murong Zhe's ear and said a few words softly.

Murong Zhe was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Brother, do you really have this plan? How is that possible?"

Murong Fidel looked calm: "Go and see, if you have the chance, the best thing will happen. If you don't have it, there will be no loss. If I don't, I will naturally not dare to have such plans. However, the Southern Dynasty is in chaos and the Tianshi Sect rebelled everywhere, Gao Qiao will be in a state of great anxiety. As long as it is in chaos, anything is possible. Xu Bi, although I have left, I have had a suspicion in the past. According to my news, he is very likely to take the opportunity to cause trouble. If this news is indeed like adding fuel to the fire, it is even more convenient for you to act."

Murong Zhe's originally locked brow gradually calmed down, he thought for a while and smiled.

"What my brother said is that it is easy to catch fish in the muddy water. Since my brother has given me instructions, I will go and have a look. I hope Xu Bi will not let down this great situation. The more the water is, the more chance I have. I am ready to leave as soon as possible. Brother, please wait for my news."

Murong Zhe's figure disappeared into the night again.

Murong Die stood in the moonlight that penetrated into the tile cave for a long time, slowly lifting one of his arms, raising it in front of him, staring at the spreading palms, and clenching his fists.

He has been unable to give up and exert force countless times. Since then, although the injuries suffered by this arm have been healed, they have always been weak and weak. Even a sword cannot be held steadily.

He suddenly let go of his hand that began to tremble constantly due to forced force clenching his fist. His arms fell down depressedly, hanging weakly on his waist, closing his eyes, and exhaling a long breath.

...

It was also in this dark night, upstream of the river, Jiangling, Jingzhou, and by the barracks, the incense altar was set up, and incense candles were lingering, and five animals were placed for worshiping the gods.

People were standing around, all wearing clothes, but they were quiet and there was no noise. There was no sound everywhere. Soldiers wearing armor stood all over the place with fire sticks and soldiers wearing armor, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The flames reflected the light of this place as bright as day, illuminating the faces of everyone in front of the altar, making their hair and beard clear at a glance.

Everyone's eyes fell on the person standing in front of the altar.

Xu Mi, the head of the Xu family, who had served as the Minister of the Secretariat and Situ, was also changed from the governor of Jingzhou to the governor of Jiangzhou by the court. Tonight, he changed his previous sluggishness, with bright eyes and energetic spirits.

He stood against everyone, his eyes swept across the faces of the dozens of military generals in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The court is unrighteous, the treacherous and slanderous, persecuting loyal and kind, causing resentment from heaven and others, causing chaos in the people. Not only do he not think about rectification, but he repeatedly forced me. It is unbearable! I am just protecting myself! I am here tonight, and I swear with you that if you receive help from heaven and share wealth in the future, if there is any violation, heaven and earth will be punished. Those who wish to share this wine together!"

He said a loud voice. After saying that, he took the dagger from a nearby deputy general, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into a wine jar in front of the divine case. Then everyone followed suit, stepped forward one by one, each broke his hands and dripped blood, and finally poured it into the bowl, and drank the bloody wine into his stomach. After that, they threw the bowl together.

Amid the sound of dozens of bowls falling to the ground at the same time, Xu Mi was full of energy, laughed loudly, and his eyes patroled the people in the hall again.

Everyone was talking about the plan to send troops to fight against Jiankang soon. The crowd was enthusiastic and excited. They were all excited. There was only one person who seemed out of place.

His gaze fell on Yang Xuan who was standing in a corner and settled for a moment.

Yang Xuan stood there alone, looking solemn, without saying a word.

Xu Mi walked towards him without hesitation and smiled, "General Yang, why are you thinking? Can you tell me?"

Yang Xuan immediately said nothing and wanted to greet him. Unexpectedly, Xu Mi actually reached over and led him to the altar, asked him to face everyone with him, and whispered: "Everyone, General Yang is the first to achieve the situation in Jingxiang. I always regard him as a brother and a wife on weekdays, and I have long had this idea. Taking advantage of the altar today, Xu Mi and General Yang become brothers of the opposite sex. I am my brother and he is my brother. From now on, I will share the blessings and share the difficulties with each other!" As he said that, he asked someone to pick up the wine again, poured it with his own hands, and handed it to Yang Xuan who was surprised.

Not only Yang Xuan, but also the generals of the military palace in the lobby, were all surprised and looked over.

On that day, the Xu army was defeated and retreated to Nanyang South, then retreated back to Jingxiang, and Nanyang also fell back to Beixia. Not only did the victory of the Northern Expedition that had been achieved before was gone, but the battle of Yangdi suffered losses even more. Xu Mi was excluded by King Xin'an at that time and could not rest assured. He left Jiankang in the name of recuperation and returned to Xuancheng. At that time, Yang Xuan came to apologize.

Just when everyone thought Xu Mi would punish Yang Xuan, and even if he kept his head, he would have to punish him, his reaction was unexpected.

Yang Xuan knelt outside his room all night. At dawn, Xu Mi came out, his eyes were red and his expression was haggard. He helped Yang Xuan up with his own hands and finally spoke. The first sentence he said, not only did not blame him, but he actually ordered his son Xu Chuo to behead him and kill him in front of the army to comfort the spirits of the soldiers who died in vain.

Who knows that although Xu Mi has many sons, he has always valued Xu Chuo. Everyone was surprised. The confidants and lieutenant generals in front of him tried to persuade him. Yang Xuan did not dare to get up and asked to spare Xu Chuo, saying that he had given up at that time and failed to protect the handsome seal, and the blame was even greater.

Just when everyone thought Xu Mi was just acting like a show, his next move was truly shocking.

He actually ordered Xu Chuo to be captured and wanted to be killed outside the gate on the spot.

Xu Chuo realized the seriousness of the matter and cried and begged for mercy, deciding that he was afraid that Lu Jianzhi would take the city first and suppress him. In order to compete with him, he was confused and did something wrong for a while and asked his father to spare and promise that he would not dare to do it next time. Yang Xuan even pleaded hard.

Xu Bi burst into tears, but refused to forgive him, and finally killed Xu Chuo.

Although this incident has been a while, everyone still remembers it fresh. Tonight, seeing Xu Mi actually becoming sworn brothers with Yang Xuan again, countless eyes fell on him.

Seeing that Yang Xuan was stunned, Xu Mi did not immediately receive his wine and stared at him and said, "What, is it that Brother Yang doesn't like me, the elder brother, and doesn't want to become sworn brothers?"

Yang Xuan returned to his senses and immediately knelt down: "I am my blessing to be sworn in me, but I am not afraid to have any thoughts on my identity. I beg the governor to take it back and become a life. The governor will be kind to me, but I will never be grateful."

Xu Mi took the opportunity to lift him up, handed the wine to him, and laughed: "How come General Yang is so disgusting with me? Since he never abandoned him, he would become a sworn brother to me. In the future, I would treat you and I brotherly and sisterly. Wouldn't that be happy?"

Under Xu Mi and the eyes around him, Yang Xuan finally forced himself to smile and took a drink.

Xu Mi was overjoyed, held his hand and called him "virtuous brother". The rest of the people also reacted, all envious, and went forward to congratulate him.

Yang Xuan finally returned to his residence, and the smile that had just been hanging on his face suddenly disappeared.

It's not long before dawn.

Soon, he will have to lead the army, set out from here and go down the river.

The goal is Jiankang.

The Tianshi Sect caused chaos, and in just one month, the chaos had already affected all counties in the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Gao Qiao was dispatched his army to suppress it with all his might.

Xu Mi finally couldn't help but waited for a month, secretly united Jingling, the county magistrates of Jiangxia, Yao Dan and Feng Xian decided to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise an army down the river and give it a try.

As a general of the Xu family, Yang Xuan had to follow.

He once had secretly expected, hoping that Xu Mi could punish him for the defeat of Yangdi, and even if he was beheaded, he would have a reason to break up with the old master.

But from the day when Xu Mi cut off Xu Chuo with tears, the little hope he had originally secretly was completely shattered.

How could he not know that Xu Mi changed his previous attitude and killed his son first, and even surrendered to the night and was willing to become sworn brothers with him. What was the purpose?

In fact, even without Xu Mi's scene tonight, he had never had the idea of ​​betrayal.

He could only lead the army eastward on order, without any choice.

What made him worried these days was not whether he should follow Xu Mi's order to lead the army to reign, but another matter.

Xu Mi was not afraid of Gao Qiao.

During the Southern Dynasty, the only thing he feared was Li Mu, who is still far away in Longxi.

He knew that Xu Mi had hidden himself and had sent someone to sneak to Jingkou, intending to wait for an opportunity to plunder Li Mu's mother, Lu, so that in the future, if Li Mu returns to the army, there will be threatening benefits.

The arrow was on the string and I had to fire it.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, quietly called his confidant and gave some advice.

Watching the departing back that disappeared into the night, the huge rock that had been pressing on his heart for the past few days finally relaxed a little.

He alone cannot change anything about this upcoming rebellion.
