Chapter 4: The Flames of War

The sunlight sprinkled on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, Jing Muhui was wearing a black armor and riding a horse coldly and arrogantly, and the sunlight refracted by the helmet was a little dazzling.

Jun Wange sat in the carriage behind him, Jing Mujue followed closely behind him in silver armor, General Hong followed them, and he could vaguely see a few strands of silver hair on his temples through the helmet, he looked at the soldiers in front of him with a stern face, the kind of majesty that had been experienced in a hundred battles was no longer threatening, which made people feel that powerful deterrent.

He clamped his feet around the horse's belly and shouted in his voice, which was as calm as a bell: "Soldiers, go! ”

He raised the whip in his hand, waved his horse, and galloped away, and the army set off...... The army walked for more than a month to the border between Chongjing and Lengyue Kingdom, under the command of Jing Muhui, General Hong led the army to occupy the city on the border of Lengyue Country at a very fast speed, and waved his army all the way south to smash the capital of Lengyue Kingdom.

Along the way, Jing Mujue's military talent, excellent command skills and deep insights into problems made Jing Mujue feel unprecedented pressure and fear.

In the military tent, Jing Muhui and other generals discussed the deployment of the operation.

Jing Muhui looked at the topographic map in front of him and analyzed it sternly and said: "Vice General Song, you will select some top-notch soldiers to form a team, and go to the rear of the enemy army to set up an ambush tonight, destroying their grain and grass and cutting off their rear road. General Qian, you take hundreds of sappers to dig pits in the area of Qishan that you captured the day before yesterday, arrange archers on the mountainside, and wait for General Yang to lead the enemy army to the front of the mountain to listen to the signal action. General Yang, after you capture the city tower, don't fall in love with the battle, pretend to be defeated, and flee. Since he has already let out the word that General Hong has not recovered from his serious injuries, then General Hong and this king are here to watch the changes, what does the fourth brother think? ”

"The enemy's location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we fight them, although we have a chance of victory, we will suffer heavy losses, and this is the only way for now!"

Jing Mujue said thoughtfully.

"So, it's decided, let's do something!"

Jing Muhui knocked on the table and said slowly.

"Subordinates retire!"

The generals said, "This king has been with the seventh brother for so long, but I didn't expect the seventh brother to be so talented in fighting, which is the negligence of this king's elder brother."

Jing Mujue said slowly, drinking Junshan Silver Needle quite leisurely, he lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face.

"The fourth brother has been with his younger brother for so long, and this is not the only thing that has been negligent."

Jing Muhui looked intently at the topographic map made of sand in front of him, looked at the reduced version of the battlefield in front of him fearlessly, sneered and planted the royal flag on the palace of Leng Yue Kingdom, and replied proudly.

As soon as Jing Mujue's hand shook, the tea overflowed and wet the back of his hand, leaving an extremely light, reddish burn mark.

He glanced at the red mark on the back of his hand, his eyes narrowed dangerously, he looked at Jing Muhui and said, "Is it......"

Everything went smoothly step by step, when Jing Muhui and Jun Mingjue commanded the army and Leng Yanli, the emperor of the Leng Yue Kingdom, faced off on the battlefield, it was already two months later...... "Tomorrow will be the last battle, those people are bound to fight to the death, this king will go to the front line to personally command, what about the four emperor brothers?" ”

Jing Muhui looked up at Jing Mujue from the map and asked, "This king will stay in the barracks, in case they also come to attack us, there will be a counterpoint!" ”

Jing Mujue replied, "That's good, in addition, Jun Wange will stay in the army, she is a doctor who treats her brother, and Brother Wang remembers to ask someone to protect her safety." ”

Jing Muhui remembered and said.

This war is like the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the leisurely spring breeze is getting farther and farther away, while the summer heat wave is hitting one after another.

Xia is about to reach its peak, and this war has reached the point of white heat.

It's like an arrow on the string, and it's about to go!

Leng Yueguo, in the military tent, "Your Majesty, you will stay in the barracks and let the last general go to war." ”

A person dressed as a general eagerly dissuaded, "Yes, Your Majesty, you just listen to General Chen, you can't go!" ”

Empress Qingyue cried and pulled Leng Yanli's sleeve and said, "I have made up my mind, if General Chen is defeated tomorrow, you will send the queen out of the barracks safely for me, and you have to send someone to prevent Xi'er from returning to the palace, your task is to ensure the safety of their mother and daughter, understand?" ”

Leng Yanli said sternly, "Your Majesty, don't ...... The concubine will accompany you! ”

Empress Qingyue cried and said, "The last general will swear to protect the safety of the queen mother and Princess Fengxi, please rest assured!" ”

General Chen said.

"Queen, you remember that Ruo I has three long and two short, you have to live well"

Leng Yanli said sternly, "No... Your Majesty, don't... Don't..."

Qingyue shook her head and cried and said, "General Chen will take the queen down to rest, and send her away early tomorrow morning, there must be no mistake!" ”

Leng Yanli turned around and said ruthlessly, "Yanli, don't leave me and Xi'er ......"

Qingyue cried excitedly and fainted without paying attention...... Early in the morning, the army had already set off early, "Queen Mother, we should also go." ”

General Chen said, "General Chen, didn't the emperor say that if the battle is defeated, he will send the palace away?" ”

Qingyue asked, "Queen Mother, you should go with the last general first!" ”

General Chen said.

"No, the palace is here to wait for the emperor to come back!"

The queen insisted, "Isn't it in vain that you do this, the queen, the emperor's hard work? ”

General Chen worried.

"General Chen, this palace begs you? Besides, this battle doesn't necessarily mean that the emperor will lose! ”

The queen said, "The queen mother, please forgive the last general for offending, and the last general promises the emperor to swear to defend you and the princess to the end!" ”

General Chen said, "This palace begs you"

The queen cried and said, "Come on, send the queen away!" ”

General Chen said ruthlessly, "General Chen asked the palace to see the emperor for the last time, okay?" Please, just take one last look, and leave as soon as you see this palace! ”

Qingyue was ready to kneel.

"Mother's ......"

General Chen frowned.

"This palace promises you to leave as soon as you see the emperor, and never stay!"

Seeing that he was shaken, the queen hurriedly said.

"Then the lady will leave with the last general immediately after seeing the emperor?"

General Chen confirmed.

"This palace counts when it comes to talking!"

Qingyue said seriously.

"Then please Niangniang, just tune in and change into a military uniform!"

General Chen said.

Qingyue immediately picked up her military uniform and changed into ...... On the battlefield, the smell of blood was everywhere, and there were bloodstained scenes everywhere, and General Chen and the Empress were hiding on a small hillside around the battlefield.

As soon as Qingyue looked up, she saw Leng Yanli and a person fighting on horseback.

"Who's that guy?"

The queen asked, "It seems that the commander sent by Chongjingguo this time"

A general next to him said, "It's not good, someone is going to shoot the emperor"

Following the direction pointed by General Chen, they saw a person not far from where they were fighting, he was mixed in with the fight of many soldiers, and the man was raising his bow and arrow to shoot at Leng Yanli and Jing Muhui...... "No! What a wrong direction that the man's arrow was shooting! ”

One soldier pointed and said, "The target seems to be the boss!" ”

General Chen also found out in surprise.

"What's going on???"

Qingyue asked, and everyone shook their heads and looked at them suspiciously.

When Jing Muhui was fighting with him, the horse that stepped off suddenly shook violently, and as soon as he lost his balance, the whole person fell backwards, Leng Yanli seized the opportunity and stabbed Jing Muhui in the chest...... Jing Muhui fell heavily to the ground, he thought he would be stabbed, and instinctively swung his sword to block it, but Leng Yanli threw himself straight down at him.

He fell on Jing Muhui's body, with an arrow pierced in his chest, and his left abdomen was stabbed by his sword, and dark red snow flowed out.

Qingyue, who was in the distance, saw this scene and shouted in heartbreak and despair, "No, don't, Yanli......"

As soon as she was excited, she fainted to the ground, and General Chen looked at the emperor and shouted, "Quick, retreat!" ”

He picked up the queen on his back and fled quickly and decisively...... The man in black in the shadows threw his bow and arrow to the ground and roared angrily, "Damn it! ”

He looked warily at the soldiers around him and walked away quickly.

Jing Muhui sat up and looked at Leng Yanli who was lying on the ground, and reached out to pull out the arrow only to find: "This arrow is poisonous, how can it be?" ”

At this time, I don't know who shouted, "The Seventh Prince killed the Emperor of the Cold Moon Kingdom!" ”

Suddenly, all the soldiers began to look this way.

I saw that the Seventh Prince pulled out his sword from Leng Yanli's body.

Jing Muhui was holding the arrow stained with dark red blood, looking at it suspiciously.

"The Seventh Prince killed the emperor of the Cold Moon Kingdom? Yes! We won......"

Another soldier shouted, and all the soldiers of the Cold Moon Country stopped, their faces ashen.

"Your emperor is dead, and this king will also let you live: those who continue to follow Leng Yanli, this king will leave you all dead; Those who surrender and are willing to follow this king, take off your armor and stand aside, stay for a while and return to Chongjing Kingdom with this king, your family will naturally be fine, and the capital of Cold Moon Country will naturally be protected from the baptism of war. ”

Jing Muhui rode on the horse and said, full of kingly demeanor.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and after a while, the sound of weapons landing on the ground gradually sounded.

Many soldiers began to throw away their armor, but some committed suicide.

Jing Muhui led the army to return triumphantly, and at the same time sent people to search the palace of the Cold Moon Kingdom to find out the remnants of the royal family of the Cold Moon Kingdom...... When he returned to the barracks, it was almost dusk, and Jing Muhui returned to his camp tent and ordered in a cold voice: "All the people go out and call Jun Wange!" ”

After everyone left, Jing Muhui took out the arrow that hit Leng Yanli, and when he saw Jun Wange coming, he handed her the arrow and said, "Look at this arrow?" ”

Jun Wange took the arrow, looked at it and sniffed it, and said, "Where did this arrow come from?" ”

Jing Muhui sat down and looked up at her, and asked unhurriedly, "What kind of poison is on the arrow?" ”

Jun Wange thought for a while and said: "Poison, this poison is extremely poisonous, who has been poisoned?" ”

Jing Muhui put down the cup in his hand and said casually: "A person who wants to kill this king"

"Who?" ”

Jun Wange asked.

"You don't know!"

Jing Muhui replied gently.

"Then how did he get poisoned and die? It stands to reason that swords on the battlefield shouldn't be poisonous, and besides, didn't he want to kill you, why was he shot to death with a poisoned arrow? And I heard the generals in the army say that you killed the emperor of the Cold Moon Country? Is it true? ”

Jun Wange asked with doubts, "You asked so many questions at once, how can this king answer!" But none of this matters, anyway, the person is already dead, and he knows what the poison is. Okay, you go and rest first, and you're going home tomorrow! ”

Jing Muhui's thin lips opened slightly, and he said coldly.

"But..."

Jun Wange wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"Report ......"

Outside the military account, there was a good news from the captain, "Come in"

Jing Muhui got up and said calmly, Du Wei came in and said: "Lord Qiyu, the remnants of the Cold Moon Country have been basically cleared, and the Queen of Qingyue was captured by the last general and others on the way out of the Cold Moon Country, but there is still a princess in the Cold Moon Country who broke free from our pursuit and disappeared under the desperate protection of the palace forbidden army. ”

Jing Muhui's good-looking sword frowned slightly and said, "Can you see the appearance of the person?" ”

The lieutenant was embarrassed and said: "At that time, it was already dark, and the general and others were only concerned about arresting people, so they ......"

"So you didn't see the princess's face?"

Jun Wange looked at Jing Muhui's face and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the last general will be guilty, please punish the prince!"

Du Wei knelt down and said, "Be kind to Qingyue, she is still valuable to us, and with her, we won't worry that the princess will not show up." You protect her for this king, if something goes wrong with her, you can come and see her! ”

Jing Muhui looked at the person kneeling on the ground indifferently and said, exuding the domineering spirit of the king who is not powerful and angry.

"Yes, yes, the last general commands!"

Du Wei nodded again and again and said, Jing Muhui waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and Du Wei eagerly retreated...... "Seventh Prince, I ......"

Jun Wange lowered his head and said timidly.

"You go and rest, too!"

Jing Muhui glanced at her and said, Jun Wange nodded and walked out of the military account.

The sunset on the horizon gradually receded, the night gradually came, and under the candlelight, Jing Muhui looked at the blood-black arrow on the table, and felt some indescribable strange feelings in his heart.

He picked up the arrow and muttered to himself as if deprecating himself: "Perhaps, Leng Yanli is just a ......"

In the early morning, the sky was just white, and the breeze mixed with the mist slowly hit the people walking by.

Outside the tent, all the soldiers stood in front of the school yard with high morale and ready to go.

"All the soldiers of the Four Princes and the Seventh Princes have arrived, please instruct the Four Princes and the Seventh Princes!"

General Hong stood in front of the horse and said respectfully, "Seventh brother, we can go!" ”

Jing Mujue rode on the horse and said, Jing Muhui got on the horse and looked at the army and said, "Let's go!" ”

Suddenly, the horn of departure sounded, the drums shook the sky, and the army returned triumphantly...... The sun gradually emerged from the clouds, and the cool wind blew from the mountains, and the sunlight shone on the rustling trees on both sides of the official road, casting mottled black shadows on the ground.

"Lord Qiqi, I found a woman lying in the grass next to the official road, as if she was seriously injured!"

The stormtrooper stepped forward and reported, "Since the origin is unknown, then leave her alone and let the army move on!" ”

Jing Muhui said coldly.

"Wait, carry her to me!"

Jun Wange poked his head out of the carriage and said, and the charge officer glanced at Jing Muhui.

Jun Wange approached Jing Muhui and whispered: "I think the fourth prince has been paying attention to your actions, if you don't save her, he will definitely save people, the emperor has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and after returning to the palace, he will definitely say that you will not save you when you die!" Besides, I'm a doctor, how can I see death without help! Those prisoners of war will also feel uneasy and will not give in! ”

Jing Muhui was a little surprised that she would know so much, but she still nodded approvingly and said, "Carry her to this king!" ”

, Jun Wange looked at it with a smile and said, "Be careful!" ”

, Jing Muhui said to Jun Wange: "How do you know this? ”

Jun Wange glanced at him, blinked a little mischievously, smiled and said, "Guess? ”

, he said with a straight face: "Normal people should know this!" ”

"What? I'm thinking about you! ”

She pursed her lips and protested, he looked at her angry appearance, the corners of his lips naturally faded a touch of arc, and he looked away in a good mood.

Wan Ge was stunned, was he just smiling at her?

Since he met him and was dragged by him to fight with him for half a year, his most common expression was that he had no expression, a cold and indifferent look all day long, as if nothing could arouse his interest, and his expression changed very little, only when his strange pain attacked, there would be a painful expression on his face.

Thinking that he hugged her tightly every time he was in pain, a touch of red couldn't help but appear on Wan Ge's fair face, and now that he was actually smiling to himself, Wan Ge stood by the carriage a little distractedly...... After a while, they carried her over, and the stormtrooper carried her to Wan Ge and said, "Doctor Jun, it's her!" ”

, Wan Ge ignored him and continued to be distracted, he shouted again: "Doctor Jun!" ”

"Ahh

Wan Ge was taken aback, "People! ”

He said, "Oh, put her in the wagon!" ”

Wan Ge smiled a little embarrassedly and said, secretly blaming herself for thinking about something!

After the men were settled, the army continued on its march.

Jun Wange gently wiped the blood and dirt off the woman's face, and there seemed to be a deep sense of uneasiness on her pale face...... The army marched forward for a few more days, and when they rested, "I heard that you saved a woman, seventh brother, how is she?" ”

The fourth prince finally couldn't help but come over and asked, "Wan Ge saved it!" ”

Jing Muhui replied coldly, then closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

"If you go back to the fourth prince, she probably fell from the mountain, and because she injured the back of her head, she is still in a coma!"

Jun Wange replied, "Then can you still save her?" ”

Jing Mujue looked at her and asked.

"She is lying there without waking up, whether she can be saved or not depends on herself, and it has nothing to do with the doctor!"

Jing Muhui didn't raise his head, and threw a sentence coldly.

Jing Mujue was a little embarrassed and said, "Then I have to resign myself to fate!" ”

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he left with a black face......
