Chapter 376: Galloping to the Northern Frontier
Stepping into northern Xinjiang, Su Tong could finally breathe a sigh of relief, spend the night in the inn, clean up, and prepare to meet his father early the next morning.
But it was rare to relax a little, but I couldn't sleep, and once again I turned over and looked out the window at the few rays of moonlight that came into the house, and got up and opened the window completely, and the person on the roof, who was listening intently to the sound of the house, was startled and immediately held his breath.
Su Tong didn't notice that there were people on the roof, leaning against the window, looking at the vast and boundless moonlight in the northwest, desolate but heroic, with a vigor and heaviness that was completely different from Zhong Lingyuxiu in the south, as if he could catch the world at a glance, how good it would be to be able to catch the world at a glance......
"Is there any difference in the world that Chu Yan sees, he does not hesitate to seek to usurp the throne for it," Su Tong muttered to himself, "He has already won the throne, why did he enter Yunhan and make his lives miserable just to avenge Yunhan......'s killing of Luoyu?"
After a while, he denied his own thoughts, "Luo Yu's death is just his excuse, to overwhelm Chu Jin's death with a more extreme and terrifying war disaster, and to turn the internal disaster to the outside, if he wins, the hidden forces of Chu will not dare to challenge him, and if he loses, the old accounts and new accounts will be liquidated together, and the Chu State will be chaotic...... No wonder he attacked fiercely, this was a battle against the water. ”
It is very rare to hear Su Tongtiao's analysis of the battlefield, Wang Jing can hear it, his eyes are closely looking at the candlelight scattered outside the window, he can't help but want to see his expression at this time, and want to give him a strength Don't be so worried.
Listening to Su Tong's deep sigh, "This battle is difficult to end......"
"Yun Chu is right, once the Chu army can't attack Yun Han for a long time, Yun Han will send troops to help, and the longer the time drags on, the more people in Chu who want to make trouble will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity. Su Tong said quietly, "At that time, Chu Yan suffered from the enemy on his belly and back, and he was very sad if he didn't die, did Chu Yan think about ending up like this?"
"He dares to kill the king and seize the throne, and it is not terrible for him to think of dying. Su Tong said coldly, "This world is just divided and combined, is it worth doing this?"
Wang Jing shook his head, and said in his heart: The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, life and death are given to seize the supreme authority, there are a few people who don't want to have it, and those who don't have it are like you and me, and they are pressed by it all the time and their hearts are free.
If there was no emperor in this world, would the country be different...... This flashing strange thought frightened Su Tong a lot, let the window open, paced to the table and poured himself a glass of water to drink, before he calmed down, he laughed at himself for thinking too simply, without the emperor, there will still be the strong, the strong are better than the weak over it, but it is just a change of name, in fact, it is no different.
Unless, unless one day the strength is completely equal.
Su Tong laughed at his delusion, but he also put down the teacup with relief, turned back to bed to sleep, and returned to the present to solve the matter in front of him, and it was enough to think about it in the future.
Wang Jing listened to him go to bed, frowned at the candlelight, and faced the whistling northwest wind, he couldn't help but worry that he would catch a cold at night, but he was worried that Su Tong could only look at it like this and do nothing.
Early the next morning, Su Tong came out of the inn, and saw a familiar person sitting in the hall, that person was obviously waiting for him, and when he saw him come out, he got up and smiled, "It's really you!
Su Tongyu approached with a smile, "I heard that Brother Li has been promoted to deputy general, and the younger brother has come to say hello." ”
Li Jin was stunned, thinking about this for a long time, but thinking that it was not a place for people to talk here, following what Su Tong said, he happily stretched out his hand on Su Tong's shoulder, and walked out, "Very good, very good, let's not get drunk today." ”
Su Tong smiled and nodded, did not refuse, and strode away with Li Jin.
Wang Jing watched in the dark, his jealousy rose three feet high, and he wanted to burn Li Jin to death......
When he came out of the inn, Su Tong asked Li Jin, "How do you know I'm here?"
"Hmm...... My soldiers told me that he saw the immortal on the painting," Li Jin said embarrassed, but he was upright by nature and would not turn around, Su Tong blushed with shame when he heard this, and turned his head to the other side to look at the people on the street, but he remembered the last time he died in northern Xinjiang, and he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't have the heart to be ashamed of the immortal who painted immortals.
"I'm here to see my dad this time, do you know where Brother Li is?"
Li Jin saw him tilt his head for a while, and then asked him about this without answering his words, and also noticed that he was wrong, and asked a little worriedly, "But what happened?"
Su Tong didn't expect that even Li Jin, a careless rectum, could be so keenly aware of his emotions, and he felt a sense of frustration, but said on his face, "No, I haven't seen my father for a long time, I miss him." You know there's a war going on in the south, and I don't feel comfortable coming here to take a look. ”
Li Jin nodded, and patted him on the shoulder with the hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to worry, we are very peaceful here, and there is no trace of the desert people when the scouts are farther away than before, and the marshal said that they should have moved away, but the garrison still did not relax at all." ”
Su Tong nodded reassuringly, and Li Jin said again, "The marshal is not in the camp at this time, and he will probably not be able to come back until the evening, I will take you back to the camp first, so as not to run around." ”
Su Tong nodded and thanked Li Jin, Li Jin shook his head and waved his hand again and again, neatly turned over and pulled the reins of the horse, and turned his head with a vigorous demeanor, "Does the second son dare to race with me?"
It was difficult to be gracious, Su Tong also turned over and got on the horse, "Accompany you to the end, and the one who loses washes the horse for a day." ”
Li Jin laughed loudly when he heard this, Su Tong also laughed, and when he jumped out of the horse, he felt that this place was high and cloudy, and he was so uncomfortable.
Compared to Yuncheng and Huaiyin, this place is called more like him.
Wang Jing hid in the dark and watched, wanting to keep up but couldn't keep up like before, this was someone else's territory after all. But for Li Jin, Wang Jing was very jealous of him, jealous that he could make Su Tong smile so heartily, jealous that he could be trusted and treated like Su Tong's friend, and jealous that he could win or lose with Su Tong.
He had never gotten these from Sutong, he wanted to get them, he just wanted to get them one day. So Wang Jing firmly engraved Li Jin in the center of his mind, and secretly told himself not to let Su Tong have a deep friendship with this person in the future......
But thinking of the rift between him and Su Tong now, he couldn't drive this person away from Su Tong......
He stood uncomfortably for a long time, and the smile in his ears was still good, and the smile made him so greedy that he didn't want to take his eyes off, and he wanted to keep it in his mind, and in a trance, he felt that he had driven away the person who brought him such joy, just because he couldn't bring him such joy, how cruel and selfish he was to him.
The two forces in his heart were entangled, he leaned against the wall tiredly, looking at the sky above his head, recalling in his mind the words he begged him to take with him before they attacked the Chu camp at night, he knew that even if he didn't want to, he was about to let go, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but repeat in a low voice what he had said that day, "As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied." ”
Wang Jingben didn't sleep all night, didn't keep up with Su Tong and them, but had time to go back to the inn and sleep in the dark, until it was nearly noon on the second day, the innkeeper was worried that something was going on and personally knocked on the door and asked, "Guest officer, is the guest officer there?"
Wang Jing was woken up, opened his eyes and slowly sat up, looking at the door sluggishly, "What's the matter?"
When the innkeeper heard the answer, he immediately laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's because I saw that the guest officer was locked up in the house for two days, and I was a little worried about not eating and drinking, and I was disturbed." ”
"Thank you for your concern," Wang Jing got out of bed and walked over to open the door, and saw a tall man smiling at him, "I'm tired of the shopkeeper asking Xiao Er to send some food, I've been so tired these days that I have slept so much that I forgot the hour." ”
The shopkeeper turned around and ordered, Wang Jing closed the door and was a little surprised that he had slept for two days!
I don't know what happened after Su Tong saw Marshal Su there, Wang Jing was a little worried, ate something quickly, and went out to the camp.
At that time, Su Tong had just finished brushing his horse, fell on the hay on the side and looked at the sky, and naturally wanted to gamble and lose if he lost, but he didn't forget to see his father, but Li Jin came to see him three times, one for the overseer and the other to bring him the news of his father, Li Jin said that there was no delay.
But Su Tong thought about it at this time, but he felt that he had been recruited at the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with the situation, his father didn't come back to the camp for two or three days, and it was too coincidental that he was discovered as soon as he entered the northern Xinjiang......
Su Tong sat up from the hay, dusted off the grass stuck to his body, stood up and went to the camp to find Li Jin, and happened to meet Li Jin sent a small team of soldiers out, and when he turned around and saw Su Tong, he was surprised for a moment before saying, "It's over?"
Su Tong nodded, but his eyes looked at the team of soldiers who left, "Is something wrong?"
Li Jin shook his head, "The forward detective sent out normally." ”
He patted Su Tong on the shoulder blade and led him to the camp, "Let's go, I'll take you to clean up, I received the news that the marshal will come back in about a short time, and I was about to go to you after ordering these things, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”
Su Tong frowned invisibly, could it be that he was thinking too much......
But when he finished cleaning up, had lunch with Li Jin, went to see the army training again, and watched how Li Jin handed over those soldiers how to draw knives and how to go into battle, it was okay at first, but when it was getting weak, Su Tong had already concluded that Li Jin was deliberately doing these things to drag him down.
What do you want?
Without waiting for Li Jin to leave, he shouted loudly, "Vice General Li, the sun has set, I'll go back and rest for a while." ”
Li Jin stopped and looked at him, let those soldiers practice by themselves, walked quickly towards Su Tong, and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot about it while I practiced, let's go, I'll take you to the marshal's tent." ”
Su Tong paused for a moment, wanting to demolish him immediately, but he didn't say anything and followed Li Jin, he wanted to see what excuse he would use to delay and prevent him from seeing his father.
