    Geng Di¡¯s wounds have been bandaged, but his eyes are still unable to see. He has been to several places in the past few days, until now his eyes are covered. Geng Di secretly guessed that this might be coming.

    Geng Di¡¯s current situation was expected, but not expected at all.  At least, he didn't expect that anyone would dare to intercept someone under the emperor's command.

    Geng Di was already prepared when he came to Beijing alone. He assisted three generations of Murong family monarchs, witnessed the decline of the previous dynasty, witnessed Emperor Mingwu deposing the emperor and establishing himself, and also witnessed the palace turmoil in the last years of Emperor Mingwu.  It is inevitable for the former prince, let alone an outsider?  This is probably a fate that is difficult for any famous general to escape. When he was young, he shed his blood and sacrificed his life. When he was in his prime, he fought everywhere and was illustrious.  Geng Di's urgent recall to Beijing was certainly due to the villain Yin Yikun, but Geng Di knew that the root cause still lay with the current emperor.  The Geng family has been operating in Tongguan and Luoyang for too long, and the emperor has become suspicious.

    But Geng Di himself had a clear conscience. He rejected the radical proposal of his military advisers and left his nephews at the border. He only brought a few close associates back to Yedu.  After returning to the capital, he immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor, made an impassioned statement about his loyalty, and reminded the emperor that he was a good minister and a villain.  This method did work in the beginning. Geng Di was trapped in the general's mansion. Although his movements were restricted, he had enough food and clothing, and he could amuse his half-grown grandson every day.  However, the situation became increasingly tense. In June, Geng Di was arrested and imprisoned. Although he was later released due to the efforts of old friends from all walks of life, Geng Di could clearly feel that there were many more eyes around him.

    Geng Di¡¯s every move was monitored. He had no way to communicate with the outside world, and naturally he couldn¡¯t give instructions to the Geng family army at the border.  Later, what Geng Di was most worried about finally happened. Zhao Jun spread rumors at the border. The Geng family's nephews thought that Geng Di had been killed by the ignorant king and were very angry. Zhao Jun took the opportunity to sneak attack Tongguan.  A few days later, Geng's army recaptured Tongguan with difficulty.  But this was just like an introduction. Starting from Tongguan, wars of varying scales broke out in other places along the border, and the entire Qi Dynasty fell into turmoil.

    Although the Geng family army stayed on the front line to resist the enemy, the emperor's suspicion was completely aroused.  Yin Yikun desperately advocated that the Mid-Autumn Rebellion was caused by the internal and external cooperation between the Geng family and Zhao Jun, and that the Geng family had long had evil intentions.  The emperor was already suspicious, and after hearing what Yin Yikun said, his murderous intention became more and more serious. Even if an old minister who was close to Geng Di pledged his life to guarantee it, the emperor still ordered Geng Di to be executed.

    Geng Di sighed after hearing the news. Although he was sad, he was not surprised. It was just a pity for the great foundation of the Qi Dynasty.  He died peacefully, but was saved by a group of mysterious people at the last moment.  The mysterious man refused to reveal his identity or talk to him, but his attitude towards him was very respectful.  Geng Di saw it and gradually began to make assumptions in his heart.

    As the group headed north, the wind became drier and colder, and finally took on the smell of sand and hay.  When changing trains for the last time, Geng Di was blindfolded and drove around several times before finally stepping onto the ground one evening.

    Geng Di knew that the base camp had finally arrived.

    The black cloth on Geng Di¡¯s eyes was removed because he had been blindfolded for a long time and he couldn¡¯t adapt when he was suddenly exposed to light.  Geng Di used his many years of experience in the military to quickly regain his mobility. When he was halfway through accumulating strength, there was a sound of footsteps outside the curtain, and then a child opened the heavy cotton curtain and ran in, swooping down on Geng Di's leg.  Above: "Grandpa!"

    Geng Di was startled, and picked up the child in disbelief: "Qilang?"

    "Grandpa, Uncle He said you would come back today, and you are indeed here!" Geng Qilang hugged Geng Di's neck and rubbed his beard affectionately.  Geng Di suddenly burst into tears. He spent his whole life in the military and devoted very little time and energy to his sons. Later, several of his sons even died on the battlefield before him.  Only his little grandson gave him the simplest affection in the world, allowing him to live a solid and considerate life in Beijing.  When Geng Di was taken away by the court, he had no other worries but his little grandson.  He is a lot older, has been to the most dangerous battlefields, and has also been to the most glorious celebration banquets. He has lived enough in his life, but his grandson is still young and cannot die with him.

    Geng Di asked many people to help him, but he knew in his heart that the people of the Murong family were the most ruthless, and they would not leave any hidden dangers to him. Qilang would probably not survive.  Geng Di was kidnapped and was already devastated, but he never thought that he would still be able to see Qilang in this life.

    Geng Di didn¡¯t show any fear even when he was tortured in prison, but now when he holds his lost grandson in his arms, he can¡¯t control the tears rolling down his face.  He wiped away his tears, looked at Qilang carefully, then put him on the ground and said, "Qilang, your mother-in-law is here too?"

    Qilang nodded.  Geng Di said: "Go out to find your mother-in-law first. Grandpa has something to say to them."

    &nAfter the East Palace Incident broke out, the emperor and his courtiers, Changshan King, favored close associates such as Yin Yikun, and the original warlord family's position became increasingly embarrassing.  Therefore, whether it was public or private, no matter out of personal emotions or future considerations, there were many people in the Xianbei people who secretly supported Murong Yan.  When Murong Yan was able to leave the capital in King Changshan's dragnet, these people contributed a lot.

    Nowadays, small groups in the southwest are experiencing constant riots, and the Zhou army is also eyeing the border. The emperor is too tired to suppress the rebellion and unable to care about anything else. This is the best period to expand his power.  Huaishuo and other places are located in remote areas. The local families are in urgent need of opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and they also have top-notch combat power reserves. It is simply a God-given base.  When Murong Yan returned to the army, his first stop was Huaishuo.  On the surface, Murong Yan was just a young general who had recently joined the army, but everyone in the well-established family knew who he really was.

    Many people knew that Murong Yan wore a mask when entering and exiting the Huaishuo military camp, but no news spread outside the city.  This is also one of the benefits of the military town. Every household practices martial arts. They have known each other for many years, and strangers cannot get in.

    He Guang was originally worried about the fierce and unruly people in Beizhen, and wondered whether he could successfully conquer them. However, these things were easily solved after Murong Yan came in person.  Murong Yan walked alone and had to wear a mask when going out. Some people were dissatisfied with this, but after Murong Yan easily defeated many and provoked several groups of people, all doubts became convinced.  The six towns are martial, so these people are difficult to discipline, but as long as they are recognized by them, their loyalty is unquestionable.

    ¡°After all, the Murong family came from Huaishuo, and they were the pinnacle of military force in the town at that time.  It's hard to say anything else since Murong came to power, but his force will never retreat.

    In less than half a year, Beizhen has been basically conquered. These people are inextricably related to Murong Yan, and their future fortune will also be tied to Murong Yan. They can be said to be Murong Yan's personal soldiers.  The military strength in other places is not of concern, but the Geng family army under Geng Di's command has been stationed at the border all year round. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have strong soldiers and horses, so they are a big threat.

    Conquering Geng Di is a very important part of their plan. Even Geng Di was imprisoned by the emperor before, which was also part of their alienation plan.  He Guang was ordered to come here today to win over Geng Di. Unexpectedly, he played so many emotional cards, but Geng Di remained unmoved.  He Guang frowned, the most important part was wrong, this was not good.

    He Guang didn't believe it, so he tried to persuade him again: "General Geng, we admire your righteousness, but now the emperor is unkind, traitors are rampant, and the loyal are being killed. Why do you have to sacrifice your life for the foolish king who almost killed you? Why don't you"

    "Everything the emperor is doing now is deceived by traitors. I just wish I could kill those despicable people." Geng Di's old eyes burst out with a compelling light, "It's a pity that I am incompetent and cannot awaken the Holy One. However, Lord  Although I am unkind, I cannot be disloyal. Even if I die at the hands of that grandson Yin Yikun, I will not join another camp and betray the king and the country."

    Geng Di closed his eyes, with an expression that said, "I have already made up my mind and there is no need to persuade him any more." He said, "My wish has been fulfilled. There is no need to say anything else. If you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please."

    He Guang frowned. Geng Di was more stubborn than he imagined, and it was quite difficult to stop him.  He Guang was about to give up when a chuckle suddenly came from behind the door and window: "The general's words are righteous and awe-inspiring, but they only move you. You keep saying you serve the country and the people, so let me ask you, are you loyal to the country?  It¡¯s still you.¡±

    He Guang was startled and turned around in surprise.  Geng Di, who had an iron-clad attitude just now, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a light in his eyes that was unbelievable for his age.  The eyes are like a torch, sharp and profound, this is the look of a famous general.

    "Who are you?"

    He Guang walked quickly to the door. Because he walked too fast, he accidentally choked and started coughing.  He opened the curtain himself and said while coughing: "I have seen the young master My lord, why are you here?"

    Geng Di stood up with a groan and stared at the door with burning eyes.  Twilight is closing, the night wind is blowing, and the sky outside has long been dark and solid.  Because of the backlight, Geng Di stared there for a long time before slowly seeing the figure of the other party clearly.

    He wears silver armor, a silver crown on his head, a complicated belt around his waist, and a slender knife hanging on his side.  The thick armor highlighted his slender legs, thin waist, and straight shoulders.  However, the other person's face was increasingly covered with a cold fang mask.

    Geng Di¡¯s pupils involuntarily dilated, and the veins on his hands bulged: ¡°Who are you?¡±

    A beautiful and strong hand stopped under the mask, and his fingers casually clasped it somewhere, and then took off the mask.  The candles in the room suddenly made a popping sound, the firelight flickered, and the shadows on the ground became jumpy.  The silver mask held his hand and turned it around casually. He raised his eyes and lightly opened his thin lips: "General Geng, long time no see."

    Geng Di¡¯s eyes widened, almost splitting his canthus.  He stared in shock for a while, then suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face: "His Royal Highness King Langya, you are still alive!"
