"Everyone! Come and report from the front--"

Late at night, a sudden and anxious voice filled with news broke the silence of the six families.

6 The light was awakened from his sleep. He felt a sudden rush in his heart. He calmed down and ran out. He opened the door. He saw the manager holding a lantern and taking a messenger, running in from outside.

The messenger was stained with blood, his face was full of tiredness, and he looked exhausted. Seeing 6 lights, he knelt on the ground with a "thump", took out a letter from his arms, and choked and said, "Everyone, no good! Xu Mi failed to attack Yangdi a few days ago, and retreated his army to Nanyang quietly. When the eldest son learned the news, the army was already deep in the hinterland and had no way to retreat. He could only fight and suffered heavy losses. He captured Yancheng and was surrounded by the Beixia army. Now he was trapped in the city and urgently needed rescue-"

The messenger went back to Jiankang day and night, but was injured again. His physical strength was already at its limit. Finally, he saw 6 lights and sent the letter. As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer hold on and fainted on the ground.

6 Guang was shocked, grabbed the news of the letter, ran back to the house, and read it quickly with the candlelight. His face suddenly turned pale, his eyes turned black, and he almost stood up, holding the hand of the letter, shaking constantly.

That day, when the Censorate returned, he was tortured by him, the slave told the truth. Only then did he realize that his son had done such a stupid thing, and he was furious and asked someone to beat the slave to death on the spot.

Although he had many wives and concubines, his offspring were not prosperous, so he had only two sons, 6 Kanzhi and 6 Huanzhi.

For 6 Huanzhi, he didn't have much hope at all, but now he knows about this, but it's even more disappointing.

But he is different for his eldest son, and he has high hopes since childhood. Although he was humiliated by his defeat in his proposal for marriage, he once attracted the blame of Liu Guang, but in his heart, he still firmly believed that as long as this Northern Expedition can achieve something, the reputation of the eldest sons of the six families can still be restored.

And now, all hope is about to be ruthlessly shattered after this short battle report.

His son whom he was most proud of...

All the troops and responsibilities of the 6 clan...

It seems that everything is going to be ruined.

Xin fell off from his hands and fell under his feet, but he seemed to be unaware of it. His eyes were staring straight ahead, and he stood in a daze for a moment, and his face gradually became distorted.

"Xu Bi! You and I are incompatible!"

6 Guang gritted his teeth, roared suddenly, grabbed the sword, turned around and ran out of the door.

...

In the north of the city, every household has already closed their doors and dreamed, quietly. However, in the Qinhuai area in the south of the city, there are still lights and roars and music.

In a private room in Qinlou, a few wisps of light cigarettes emerge from the smoke holes of the Boshan incense burner in the corner of the wall.

Li Xie sat on the couch and listened to the green lady playing the piano opposite him.

Recently, he often came here to inspect in person and gradually became familiar with this green lady. He heard that an official held a night banquet tonight and asked her to come and play the piano, so he rushed over and kept the person on the grounds of making an appointment.

Just a song, the lingering sound is endless.

Green lady still stopped on the strings of the piano, raised her eyes, looked at the person who seemed to be trance opposite, and smiled and said, "Douwei Li wants to listen to the slave music again?"

After Li Xie left her, he followed her into the room and listened to her playing the piano until now.

Li Xie came back to his senses and waved his hand. He looked at her neck, which was still covered with a layer of veil, and asked, "How is the injury healed?"

The green lady took off the scarf, exposed her neck and looked at him, then covered her back, Yingying thanked her, and smiled and said, "It has been cured long ago, only a red mark is left. I am afraid that people will cover her neck with the scarf when they see it. Do not worry about it."

Li Xie nodded: "It's good that there is nothing to do. Before leaving, General Li specifically told me to pay more attention to your place. In the future, you don't have to pay attention to things like tonight. I've told your aunt."

The green lady lowered her eyes and thanked again.

Li Xie told her not to worry.

It's a bit late.

He knew that after she became famous for her piano skills many years ago, the aunt here did not force her to stay overnight. He should leave. He wanted to get up and say goodbye, and looked at her again. She sat upright, and looked completely different from the way she looked when she first met that night, she pulled out her head and flirted with her with her.

When Li Xie was slightly out of sight, he suddenly heard a rushing sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Li Duwei! Something is wrong, something happened!" The voice of his subordinates followed.

Li Xie immediately stood up and opened the door: "What's the matter?"

"The brother who had just patroled the night came to report that Liu Guang personally led his troops to Xu Mi's mansion. Xu Mi did not see anyone, so he threatened to set fire to the house!"

Li Xie was shocked and turned around and ordered the Lu Niang to take a rest earlier, and immediately took people to the Xu family. When he arrived, he saw that there were people surrounding the gate of the Xu family, with a torch light, and 6 Guang was dressed in disheveled clothes, holding a sword in his hand, chopping the gate there randomly, shouting loudly. There were many nearby homes standing outside, and there were many discussions.

6 Guang holds his own identity. No matter when he is in front of others, he is dressed neatly and does not laugh. He looks like a crazy tiger tonight. Although Li Xie has been in Jiankang for many years, he has seen him for the first time. He suppressed his surprise and immediately ordered his subordinates to disperse all the onlookers and not approach him. He separated the 6 servants who followed the master and clamored in front of the door and shouted at 6 Guang: "Shu Shu, what happened? Have you brought people here and put on such a battle?"

The two doors of the Xu family were already cut by sharp swords and covered with crisscrossing marks. Six lights slashed hard on the bronze door knocker. With a "ding" sound, iron stars splattered everywhere, and the sword in his hand was also broken into two pieces.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes were frantically, and he gasped. His eyes fell on Li Xie, threw away the broken sword in his hand, walked over, grabbed his arm, and shouted: "Li Duwei, you are here just right! Xu Bi, a villain who is so dark! He had made an appointment to fight the enemy together, but he was defeated in Yangdi, but he hid the news and quietly retreated his own people first. I'm sorry, my Dalang kept in the dark, and he didn't know at all, went deep into the hinterland and fought alone! Now, even him, all his men were trapped in Yancheng, in danger! Xu Bi, a shameless person, even if he cut him into meat paste, it would be difficult to relieve my hatred!"

Seeing that he had completely lost his reserved demeanor, Li Xie said, "I would never look at him more often." His expression was ferocious. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his heart, showing a painful expression on his face. He seemed to be unable to breathe in one breath, and the person was shaking and about to fall.

Xu Mi's family knew that he had an old problem of angina pectoris, so they were afraid that they would have had it again. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurried up and held it with all their might.

On the way here, Li Xie heard from his subordinates that the farce tonight seemed to be caused by the defeat of the Xu 6 coalition forces.

A few days ago, the Xu6 coalition forces played triumphant songs all the way and successfully captured Nanyang. Like many court officials, he was waiting for a new victory. He never expected that what he had been waiting tonight would be such bad news.

He knew that Gao Qiao had high hopes for this Northern Expedition, so he immediately called his subordinates and ordered them to inform them, so that he could help the 6 lights to sit down on the open space first.

6 The light gradually recovered and then shouted loudly at the slave, ordering him to throw a torch to the Xu family.

The servants of the six families were eager to try. Seeing that the master had nothing to do, they gave another order and agreed. In an instant, fire lights continued to fall to the other end of the door wall.

There was a sound inside, as if the Xu family was busy putting out the fire.

When I heard the movement outside, I jumped up and down, and the noise became more and more serious.

Li Xie had no good feelings for the Xu and 6 families. At this moment, the two families turned against each other. Six people brought people here, but he came here just because of his duty. Knowing that there was someone in the door, the fire should not be burned for a while, so he ignored it and asked his subordinates to watch it, guessing that when Gao Qiao heard the news, he would come in person and wait by himself.

Sure enough, after a moment, a group of people rushed over in the night, and it was Gao Qiao who arrived.

Li Xie hurriedly went up to meet him and said what had just passed.

Gao Qiao frowned and quickly walked to the Xu family. When everyone saw him arrive, they stopped making a noise and made a way out.

6 Guang sat on the steps, feeling weak, suddenly he saw Gao Qiao coming, and was helped by someone and stood up. He went to him, held back his shame, and cried and said, "Brother Gao! Xu Mi is in danger, save me!"

Gao Qiao said nothing, hurried to the Xu family gate and ordered someone to pass the message inside.

After a while, the door that had been tightly closed was finally opened. The manager of the Xu family came out with a look of horror and bowed to Gao Qiao. Amid the rebukes of the six families, he kept bowing and explained: "Google Master Gao, it's not that I didn't open the door on purpose, but that the six families were too unreasonable! My Situ was sick at home a few days ago and never left the medicine stone. These days, even the court meeting could only sue for a lack of money. You know, Gao. The news of Yang Xuan's defeat was blocked by the road. My Situ just received it tonight and fainted on the spot. At this moment, he was still unconscious. However, his six families pushed all the mistakes on Situ's head, blaming them all, and then used a knife and gun to chop my door, and burned my mansion. How dare I open the door easily?"

After he finished speaking, the six families cursed. At this time, after the wall inside the door, Xu Mi was supported by his eldest son, and he appeared with a crutch in his hand.

Seeing that he came out, the door slowly became quiet.

But after not seeing him for more than ten days, Xu Mi's face turned pale and erect, looking like a dying person, tremblingly approaching.

The son of the Xu family had tears in his eyes and greeted Gao Qiao and Liu Guang, saying, "The army was defeated before and was forced to retreat. Yang Xuan was surrounded by heavy troops in Beixia again. Not to mention breaking out of the siege to rescue the 6th son, even if it was news, it could not be delivered! In this battle, my Xu family suffered heavy losses. My father had just learned the bad news tonight and was heartbroken. He vomited blood and fainted. He had just woken up and asked someone to send a message to his two uncles..."

Xu Mi said, "Brother Gao, I am useless. I have let you down your previous expectations! Brother 6, it is all my fault for Xu Mi! If you want to blame me, kill me, and I will die without any complaints!"

He pushed away and held his son, knelt on his knees, slammed his crutches hard, and burst into tears.

6 Guang's eyes were wide open, his fingers poked Xu Mi who was crying and trembling constantly. Suddenly, another cramp in his chest felt a sudden pain, and his eyes became dark. With a "gum", the man fell to the ground.

...

Li Mu accompanied Luo Shen and slept until the next day, before waking up until midnight.

Because we were going to walk first, we could dock at night, and we didn't have to go out early, so we didn't have to hurry. After waking up, she let her pester herself in the tent and play for a while, then got up, after washing and eating, Aju, Fan Cheng and others had already cleaned up. In order not to make Lu's heart too much, they did not disturb him anymore. The group boarded the boat again, sailed westward, and finally got on the road again.

I rode a boat during the day and moored a boat at night. I walked slowly for two days. On the evening of that day, the boat entered the neighboring county and was docked.

Because he saw the place was prosperous and he was sleeping on the boat, if he encountered wind, the hull would inevitably sway. He was afraid that the God of Luo would not have a good rest, so Li Mu took her ashore and stayed in the inn.

After moving in, the post officer hurried over and respectfully presented a document. A few days ago, all the inns and docks along the way received a warrant from Gao Xiang for 800 miles. If he met General Li Mu, he would ask him to rush back to Jiankang immediately.

Li Mu returned to his room and told Luo Shen the news.

The God of Luo was very surprised.

Li Mu had just left Jiankang for a few days, but he really didn't know what big thing happened, so his father would use the urgent messaging method of eight hundred miles to summon him back.

Look at the date of the handwritten warrant, it was four days ago.

In short, even if I was still staying in Jingkou, waiting for Li Mu to come to find her in the few days.

Since my father was so anxious to find someone, it would definitely not be a trivial matter. It would be fine if he didn't know, but since he received the news, he would definitely go back and take a trip.

Li Mu was worried about leaving Luo Shen here, and Luo Shen was even more unwilling to separate from him. The two discussed and decided to go back together, abandon the water route, take 6 routes, and return to Jiankang.

Early the next morning, Li Mu prepared a carriage and asked Aju and Qiongshu to sit with Luoshen. He ordered Fan Cheng and a few followers to stay there. The rest of them stayed there first, walked on their own and stayed overnight in the morning. After several days, the group finally returned to Jiankang and arrived at the Gao family. It was already the hour of Hai.

Without even having to rest, Li Mu was immediately summoned into the study by Gao Qiao. The God of Luo went to see Xiao Yongjia. From her mother, she heard a message that shocked her.

The Xu family was defeated, and the defeated army retreated to Nanyang. The combat alliance with the 6 Cambodia had collapsed, but it concealed the news, causing the 6 Cambodia to continue to go north according to the original plan. When they learned that the situation had changed, they had no way to retreat. After a desperate battle, they suffered heavy casualties. They finally captured the original Yancheng, but they were just a chance to breathe. They were soon besieged by the Beixia army. Now the situation is in danger.

Luo Shen was stunned and couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

Xiao Yongjia frowned slightly and said, "6 Guang went to Xu Mi to have a fight. Xu Mi pushed the matter cleanly. Liu Guang was angry and returned to his old illness. I heard that the situation was very bad. The uncle of the 6 family came to ask you Aye to save him again and again, but your uncle and your elder brother are now bound by the Qingzhou soldiers in Beixia, and they are powerless. You Aye have no choice but to call Jingchen back first and discuss the matter with him."

She looked at her daughter and saw that the blood on her face gradually faded and she was silent. She knew that she and Liu Cambodia had been in contact with each other. Although time had changed, even if she was an old friend, she would feel uncomfortable if she had such a thing. She sighed and comforted her: "You don't have to worry too much. The day before yesterday, the follow-up news came over there. The food and grass in Daocheng could last for about half a month. You, Aye, are also thinking of a way. No matter what, there is still hope." She said to her daughter for a while, and knew that she was tired from walking, so she asked her to go to rest first.

Luo Shen told her mother not to worry about these things. It was important to raise her baby, so she stopped and then returned to her room. But how could she feel at ease? She went to her father's study and stood there. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed and the lights were coming out, she knew that the two were still talking, so she turned around. She guessed what her father and Li Mu were saying, and would he ask him to send troops to rescue 6 Kamzhi. She thought about what Li Mu would think about this. What is the situation of 6 Kamzhi at this moment?

Just as he was restless, a servant came to report to her and said that the 6th Confusing had come, and asked to see her.

Luo Shen was stunned.

After Qushui Liushang, she did not meet 6 Xiurong again. When she returned to Jiankang a few days ago, she sent a post to 6 Xiurong. She replied that her grandmother-in-law was in poor health and she was serving her day and night, and she seemed very busy, so she did not bother her anymore.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned tonight, she came over and hurriedly asked someone to welcome her. She cleaned up a little and went outside the yard to pick up her friends in person.

6 The cultivator looked very thin and worried. After coming in, he looked at Luoshen steadily. Before he could speak, he burst into tears and knelt down at Luoshen and kowtowed to her.
