Chapter Eighty-Five: Departure
Qingfeng Lan sent Zifeng back to the dormitory and immediately ran back to Chen's mansion.
As soon as he entered Chen's mansion, he went straight to his yard, and after entering the courtyard, he rushed directly to Wang Xue's room and dragged Wang Xue directly from the bed: "I'm going to go out, you help me protect Chen Hong's family." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Help me protect Chen Hong's family, you don't have to worry about the rest, you won't be back in a few months." ”
Wang Xue didn't talk much, so his ability to observe words and emotions was outstanding, and he knew that something big was wrong when he looked at Qingfenglan's anxious state, and nodded slowly.
"What are you going to do? Take me without him. Tong Yao also stood at the door and asked
"I'm looking for you, Xue doesn't know how to protect him, leaving him alone in the imperial capital, I'm worried that he will slaughter the imperial capital, you stay to stop him, don't let him kill until the last resort." Also, in the next month, don't let Junyi leave the Chen Mansion, not even half a step. ”
"Are you going on a campaign?"
Qingfeng nodded slowly.
Tong Yao also thought for a moment and sighed: "Although I really want to follow you, but with your character, if the rear is unstable, you will definitely be distracted, then I will not accompany you, but you remember, your old injury is not healed now, do what you can, don't be reckless." ”
Qingfeng nodded.
Wang Xue walked to Qingfenglan's side and handed over a small piece of black jade, "Look for me!"
Qingfeng Lan nodded and put it away: "Also, Junyi should come in a while, don't show your stuffing." ”
The two nodded, then walked into the courtyard, and lay down on a chair with their eyes closed.
Not long after, Chen Junyi ran over and saw Qingfeng lying leisurely on the chair, and his hanging heart was relaxed.
Walked to Qingfenglan's side and sat down: "I just heard from Jiading that you ran back in a hurry, I thought something was wrong." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that you can't run around in the imperial city, I can't hold it anymore, so I can only run home. ”
Chen Junyi covered her mouth happily and smiled.
The four of them had dinner together, and then Chen Junyi said that she wanted to accompany Aunt Zhou more, she was scared a lot today, so she left early, and the remaining three looked at each other and went back to their rooms.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Qingfeng Lan quietly left the Chen Mansion without alarming anyone.
I came directly to the point of the military field, and saw that the square of Noda was already full of soldiers.
In the empire, the border cities are heavily armed, and the cities within the territory are only equipped with a standing army of a few thousand people, and most of the rest of the army is concentrated in some checkpoint fortresses.
The exception to this is the Imperial Capital, which is protected by the three strongest armies of the Empire, and the Swift Cavalry where the words are located is one of them. There are also nearly 60,000 standing troops in the imperial capital, and these are not counting the forbidden army and city defenses. If you want to attack the imperial capital, you must first wipe out the three armies outside the city, and then break through the strong bow and crossbow of the city defense, and finally enter the imperial city and start a street battle with more than 10,000 forbidden troops.
When he walked to the bottom of the platform, he saw Lan Yun on the high platform, and Qingfeng Lan couldn't help but be a little surprised, why is this guy so attentive?
Walking on the high platform, Lan Yun slowly took a half step back: "Here are the 50,000 horses I personally ordered, some of them are my personal guards, and they only got one order to protect the safety of the Ninth Princess." ”
Qingfeng looked at Lan Yun in surprise: "Why are you so active this time? I haven't seen you so active before, after Zifeng entered the imperial capital, the guards were not your people, if it weren't for Qixing's presence, Zifeng would have been assassinated a long time ago." ”
"I was negligent before, I thought that a girl could be of any use, it was just a tool for kissing, but I didn't expect that at this time, she stood up, and when you come back, I will definitely come to the door to ask for guilt. ”
Qingfeng smiled and patted Lan Yun's shoulder: "It's okay, Zifeng is not such a stingy person, after we leave, you will be alone in this imperial capital, thank you for your hard work." ”
Lan Yun looked at Qing Fenglan's hand on his shoulder: "I don't seem to know you well." ”
Qingfeng smiled and said: "It's all for the stability of the country, is it so important whether you are familiar with it or not?"
Lan Yun nodded: "For the Empire!"
"When will the Ninth Princess arrive? ”
"The Ninth Princess won't come to order soldiers, have you asked all the people you selected before?"
Lan Yun pointed to the front of the team: "It's all here, I'm curious, how do you know the names of these people? These people are not considered excellent talents in various departments, if you don't say it, I don't know that there are these people." ”
"It's not me who ordered it, it's the one who ordered it from the Ninth Princess. ”
"Although I don't read much, don't lie to me, the ninth princess will be in my sight after she arrives in the imperial capital, where will she know these people? ”
"Hey, it's too tiring to deal with smart people, there's no secret. ”
"How the hell do you know these people?"
"You know what? the more talented people are, the more reluctant they are to become inflammatory, and they are the most talented people in the empire, and when you come back from this expedition, you will be impressed by these obscure people. ”
Lan Yun looked at the few people in the audience with a look of disbelief: "Is it really so powerful?"
"Of course. ”
"By the way, General Shangguan Hong asked me to tell you that there is a swift rider near Cangyun City, if you use it, you can deploy it at will, she said there will be a surprise. ”
"Surprise? well, hopefully not a scare"
Watching the sun gradually rise, Qingfeng Lan stepped down from the high platform.
"In the household, Yang Cong, come forward to listen to the order. ”
The two glanced at each other, although this person had chatted with Lan Yun on the high platform before, but this time it was the Ninth Princess herself, was such a person despising them to give orders?
Raising his head to look at Lan Yun, he saw Lan Yun nodding slowly.
The two reluctantly took a step forward.
"Hu Xiangli, you led 10,000 horses out of the east gate, wanted to advance northeast, crossed the Cangyun River, and stationed at the border between Heaven and Shenzhen, waiting for orders. ”
"Yang Cong, you lead 20,000 horses out of the north gate and go straight to the outside of the lock city, you don't need to attack the city, you just need to be stationed outside the lock city, and block all the people who want to enter the lock city. ”
Hu Xiangli and Yang Cong glanced at Qingfenglan, they never expected that this person would give them such a big right when he came up, and such a march could greatly speed up the march. And it can completely surround Cangyun City and Lock Domain City.
The two knelt down directly to receive the order.
Seeing that the two of them had been convinced, Qingfeng Lan stepped forward and helped the two of them up: "These are all orders from the Ninth Princess, I just conveyed them." ”
The two nodded.
Qing Fenglan approached the two of them and whispered: "Actually, the Ninth Princess has left the imperial capital last night, you two must not leak the news, I am worried that the people in the imperial capital will be unfavorable to the ninth princess." ”
After saying that, he slowly stepped back.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the affirmative answer in each other's eyes.
"Alright, two generals, let's go when you're ready. ”
The two were not ambiguous, turned around and led the troops away.
"Zhang Zhang, Cheng Hua, step forward to listen to the order. ”
Seeing Qingfenglan's performance just now, these two people didn't dare to slack off, and strode forward to salute.
"This is a letter written by the ninth princess, and I also ask the two to hand over this letter to the fourteenth princess who is far away in Suju country, and after the two hand over the letter to the fourteenth princess, they don't need to stay, just go directly to the general barracks. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the two of them.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Wu Hongtian stepped forward to listen to the order. ”
After such a long period of treatment, Wu Hongtian is no longer as bloated as before, but he still looks a little fat, but he has moved freely.
Wu Hongtian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Wu Hongtian, lead the remaining 20,000 horses out of the north gate to camp and wait. ”
"The subordinates receive the order. ”
"Wang Qianyun, Wang Qianyun, follow me. ”
The two female generals glanced at each other, and then followed Qingfeng Lan towards the outside of the point field.
Yesterday, Lan Yun was still a little confused when he went to Swift Ride to summon them, but when they heard that it was to protect the Ninth Princess, the two of them were quite excited, especially when they left, Shangguan Hong personally explained that they must protect the Ninth Princess, and the two were even more excited, and they came to the military field early today, but they did not wait for the Ninth Princess, but waited for such a person who they had never seen before.
Qingfeng Lan took the two of them to the Zifeng Dormitory.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that Zifeng was struggling to pull out a sword in the sword pit.
Qixing stood aside to cheer Zifeng on.
"What are you doing here?"
"The ninth princess said that she would order troops today, and she couldn't make the soldiers feel that a general like her would definitely be defeated, so she was going to choose a long sword as a weapon, so she chose this sword in the sword pit, but it was not easy to draw out. ”
Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to help Zifeng pull out the sword.
When he saw the sword, he looked at the seven stars on the side in surprise.
"Don't look at me, I don't know. ”
One step closer, the sword slowly lit up with a red glow. Qingfeng Lan stopped, watching Zifeng grasp the hilt of the sword with both hands, sweating profusely and trying to pull out the sword, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Wang Qianyun stepped forward: "Princess, let me help you." ”
After speaking, he stepped forward without waiting for Zifeng to agree, and before he could get closer, he suddenly knelt directly on the ground.
Qingfeng Lan walked over and pulled Wang Qianyun up and threw her directly not far away.
Wang Qianyun got up from the ground tremblingly, her eyes were full of horror, just at that moment, she seemed to see hell.
Wang Qianyun stepped forward to support Wang Qianyun, her eyes full of doubts.
"Alright, Zifeng, don't bother, we're leaving. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zifeng fell directly to the ground, and the sword in his hand was also pulled out, looking at the sword that was pulled out, Zifeng picked it up and waved it back and forth, looking at the sword in his hand curiously: "So light, why is it so difficult to pull out just now?"
Qingfeng Lan frowned: "Maybe I accidentally got stuck just now." Let's go. ”
Qingfeng Lan tentatively approached Zifeng, and there was still a faint red light emitting from the sword, but there was no feeling that he couldn't get close at all.
There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the grip of the thunder god fell directly, and before it landed, Qingfeng Lan grabbed it in his hand: "Senior, does that sword have a sword spirit?"
"Huh, you called me here just to show me if I have a sword spirit, do you know the consequences of angering me?"
"Senior, the stakes are very high, please forgive me. ”
"Huh, how did this sword end up here?"
"Seniors know about this sword?"
"I know that I had a fight with her. ”
"Then there is a sword spirit in this sword?"
"There's a sword spirit, but this sword shouldn't be here. ”
"Can the seniors help erase the sword spirit?"
"No, the sword spirit of this sword is an innate spirit, even if it is erased, it will awaken again in a few hundred years, and there is no way to completely erase it. ”
"Innate spirits?"
"The innate spirit is the spirit that was born when the sword was cast, and it is impossible to completely erase the spirit unless the sword is completely destroyed. ”
"Since the seniors know this sword so well, is it dangerous?"
"If in the hands of other people, this sword is extremely dangerous, although the little doll next to him can completely control this sword, but it is because of his cultivation of the exercises, not because this sword surrenders. But this sword is in the hands of your second brother and this female doll, and there is absolutely no danger. ”
"Absolutely?"
"Absolutely!"
Qingfeng Lan squinted his eyes at the sword that was slightly glowing red, and shook his head: "Zifeng, let's go, it's a long way to go today." ”
"Okay, wait until I'm going to find a scabbard and put it up. ”
"No need to look for it, the sword is coming!" Qixing stopped with a voice, then put his fingers together and swung his sword upward, dozens of swords flew out of the sword pit, collided with each other, and turned into a scabbard in the blink of an eye.
Zifeng took the scabbard, put the long sword into it, and then happily touched the scabbard, and looked at the four people in front of him with a smile: "Let's go!"
Qingfeng Lan led everyone out of the city, and Qixing asked Zifeng curiously: "Why don't you ask why we don't go to the military field?"
Zifeng looked at Qixing curiously: "Why do you ask, just follow Qingfeng, he leads the way, aren't you still at ease?"
Qixing patted his head: "Why is everyone's inexplicable trust in the boss? It's so strange, I really want to distrust him." ”
Qingfeng Lan heard Qixing's shout, and couldn't help but shake his head, the child is older and begins to rebel.
Out of the imperial city, Qingfeng Lan saw the light curtain above the Chen Mansion from a distance.
Qixing walked to Qingfenglan's side: "Hey, you are really scheming, let the second brother guard the Chen family." ”
"Wrong, and your third sister. ”
"You don't really like that Miss Chen, what about Sister Zifeng?"
"What does this have to do with Zifeng?"
"You don't pretend to be garlic, forget it, when I didn't say it. ”
Qingfeng smiled, then let Zifeng and Qixing get into the carriage, and then led everyone to run out of the city.
As soon as he left the gate of the imperial capital, he saw two soldiers standing at the door waiting, and when he saw the breeze coming out, the two soldiers hurriedly got on their horses, and then opened the road in front.
After running for a while, I saw a forest, and when I got closer, the woods were full of soldiers resting.
Seeing Zi Qingfeng coming, Wu Hongtian hurriedly greeted him: "Benefactor, what should I do next?"
"Hong Tian, let me ask you, give you 30,000 horses, how sure are you that you will capture Cangyun City?"
"Cangyun City is in the Cangyun River, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Cangyun City is equipped with a strong crossbow, 30,000 horses can't attack it. ”
"Even you don't think you can attack it, so how did Cangyun City lose this time?"
"What do you mean ... ”
"And if Shenzhen Kingdom really wants to capture the empire, Liaoyuan City is better than Cangyun City, but now I haven't received any military reports from Liaoyuan City, don't you think it's strange?"
Wu Hongtian nodded: "I have always felt very strange, and my father escorted the fourteenth princess to the Suju country, and now my father is on the border of the Suju country, and Cangyun City is next to the Suju country, unless they are going to challenge their father, otherwise storming Cangyun City is tantamount to suicide." ”
"So, you should know where we're going next. ”
Wu Hongtian smiled: "Desolate City!"
