Chapter 637: The head of the Rong family
Rong Zhen and Nangong Xue woke up early, and as for the letter, it was sent to Rong's house last night.
"It's so early? I guess I'm not used to living in a place like this. As soon as Rong Zhen walked out of the tent, he saw Nangong Xue coming this way.
Nangong Xue was speechless for a while, and then said, "Such a place is considered good. ”
Indeed, compared to the time when they were in the autumn tour, the time when they were beaten by the Wind Blood Wolf King, this is very good.
Rong Zhen didn't answer and walked towards Guo Tong.
"General! Jiang Cheng is coming here with a large number of people and horses!" Guo Tong ran over in a panic.
"What are you panicking about!" Rong Zhen scolded: "As a general, if you are so flustered, what will the soldiers think when you see it?"
"Yes!" Guo Tong lowered his head.
"Let's go check it out!"
Rong Zhen took the lead and walked towards the gate of the camp.
"General!" the soldiers all slashed.
"Don't be nervous! I'm not a good person. If we were going to deal with you, there would have been a fire here last night. Jiang Cheng smiled. "Oh, you look like you're leaving, and it's no wonder, after all, everyone shouts and beats the lost dog. It's good to go back early. ”
"You're here early in the morning just to say these cool things?" Rong Zhen said.
His heart is very unsettled, as Jiang Cheng said before, if Jiang Cheng sent someone to set fire to it last night, the Rong army might be killed and injured, he was still too lax.
The current situation is very simple, if Jiang Cheng wants to make a move on them, he can find any reason, but they can't find any reasonable reason to make a move on Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, "Leave everything behind, let's go back!"
A large bag of sacks was carried up by the soldiers, needless to say, Rong Zhen also knew that it was full of food.
"What do you mean?" Rong Zhen smelled.
"Nothing. It's just that when I woke up in a good mood, I was very merciful to send you food, after all, the lost dog also needs to be fed. Of course, by the way, it is also quite pleasing to the eye. Jiang Cheng waved his hand and turned to leave.
"What kind of medicine is sold in this Jiangcheng gourd?" Guo Tong was a little puzzled.
"Anyway. I owe him a favor. You tell the soldiers to bring this food, and we can continue on our way!" Rong Zhen said.
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" Nangong Xue said faintly.
Rong Zhen glanced at Nangong Xue, didn't speak, and walked outside.
Nangong Xue frowned and asked, "What kind of eyes did you have just now?"
Rong Zhen: "......"
"Nothing else..."
Rong Zhen quickened his pace.
"It's okay, why are you walking so fast?, obviously a little weak-hearted!" Nangong Xue's voice came from behind Rong Zhen, and his feet were almost unstable.
With the supply of food, along the way, Rong Zhen is all
It doesn't matter if you go around the city, even if you go a little farther, after all, it's better than being humiliated.
At this time, Rong Zhen and the others had already traveled for almost two months (through countless transit stations), and there were only thousands of miles left before the imperial city.
"How is it?, can the body withstand it?" Rong Zhen looked at Nangong Xue.
Nangong Xue rolled her eyes, "You don't know how many times you've asked this along the way." I'm not so pretentious. ”
"Oh. Rong Zhen nodded, and shouted, "Let's stop and rest first!"
The Rong army began to rest in place.
"Did you send that letter?" Nangong Xue asked curiously.
Rong Zhen's face changed, "I sent it out that night." ”
"Then why didn't you see your Rong family's reinforcements along the way?" Nangong Xue asked.
Rong Zhen was silent for a long time before he said, "It's not important anymore." ”
Nangong Xue: "......"
"General, the dust is rolling in the direction of the Imperial City, there should be an army approaching this way!" Guo Tong came to report.
Rong Zhen's expression became more and more ugly.
Nangong Xue saw these in her eyes and muttered to herself: "The Rong family's... Reinforcements... What?"
Rong Zhen got up and shouted: "All stand up!
The soldiers quickly lined up, but they were still full of decadence.
Soon, an army appeared in front of Rong Zhen and others, and there was a large flag in the middle of the army, embroidered with a big Rong character on it.
At the front of the army was a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
"Head of the house!"
Rong Zhen and Guo Tong stepped forward and bowed to the middle-aged man.
"Kneel!" The middle-aged man stared at Rong Zhen with a majestic gaze.
Rong Zhen knelt down on one knee in front of the man.
Nangong Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the middle-aged man coldly, but did not speak.
"Shame on you!" the middle-aged man scolded mercilessly.
Nangong Xue couldn't stand it anymore, and took a step forward and said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! Who dares to assert that every battle will be won?"
The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Xue, still with a serious face, "Who are you, dare to talk to me like this!"
Rong Zhen hurriedly said: "Family master, she is a friend of mine, and I met her on the way back. ”
The middle-aged man did not embarrass Nangong Xue, but said: "This is my Rong family's business, and it is not the turn of outsiders to interfere!"
Nangong Xue wanted to say something more, but Rong Zhen hurriedly got up and grabbed her.
The middle-aged man said, "Did I let you die?"
Rong Zhen hurriedly knelt on the ground again.
The middle-aged man said again: "Now, I don't know how many people are waiting to see our Rong family's jokes." I'll go back and settle accounts with you again! Someone! Escort him down!"
Two soldiers stepped forward to arrest Rong Zhen, Nangong Xue was just about to stop him, but was stopped by Rong Zhen in a cold voice: "It's none of your business!"
Catching up with Rong Zhen's cold eyes, Nangong Xue's heart trembled inexplicably, and she had no choice but to stop.
Soon, Rong Zhen was escorted into a prisoner car, a prisoner car carefully prepared for him.
The prisoner cart is made of fine iron, and the iron cages around it are also cast with many sharp spikes, and the iron cage is designed to be very small, as long as the prisoner cart moves, Rong Zhen's body in the iron cage will touch those spikes, and blood will flow.
Nangong Xue's face changed suddenly, and she wanted to rescue Rong Zhen, but was stopped by Guo Tong, "Don't act rashly! Otherwise, the general's fate will only be worse!"
Nangong Xue looked at Guo Tong in disbelief, she didn't understand, wasn't it just a failure? Can this be blamed on Rong Zhen? Do you need to treat him so cruelly? It's a family anyway.
Nangong Xue bypassed Guo Tong and walked towards Rong Zhen with a gloomy and extremely cold face.
"What do you want to do?" the soldiers began to block Nangong Xue from approaching Rong Zhen.
"It's okay! The middle-aged man said, "Girl, but I have to warn you, if you do it casually, then I don't mind executing him on the spot!"
Nangong Xue chuckled in her heart, her body trembled, and she slowly walked to Rong Zhen's side, jumped slightly, and landed on the prisoner car.
"You already knew this would be the case, right?" asked Nangong Xue.
"What if you know, what if you don't know?" Rong Zhen kept his head down.
"They don't treat you as a human being at all!" Nangong Xue was furious.
"Is this important?" said Rong Zhen.
At this time, his body was pierced with a lot of wounds, and the blood directly stained the clothes on his body, according to this situation, before he returned to the imperial city, Rong Zhen would die of excessive blood loss.
Nangong Xue grabbed Rong Zhen's hand, and a cold air surged on her body, freezing all the wounds on Rong Zhen's body.
"Don't waste your efforts!" Rong Zhen said.
He was right, the wound had just frozen, hit the spike again, and was punctured again.
Rong Zhen's face was frighteningly pale, and there was sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were still calm as water, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
"It's not in vain!" Nangong Xue released a magic quantum, freezing the surface of Rong Zhen's body, and the thick ice block blocked the sharp spikes for Rong Zhen, and every time the ice cube shattered due to the impact of the spikes, it would re-form ice cubes.
Cycle!
Rong Zhen looked up at Nangong Xue and didn't say anything for a long time, but Nangong Xue saw a trace of sadness in Rong Zhen's eyes, although he tried his best to hide it, Nangong Xue still clearly captured it.
The situation here naturally attracted the attention of the middle-aged man, but he didn't say much.
