Chapter Twenty-Six: Goodbye Wei Wenguang
The battle in Baicheng ended like this, but the others still had a lot of doubts about how Lan Shaofeng captured Baicheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the same in the Dayuan National Army, they only knew that that day, Lan Shaofeng suddenly ordered the whole army to approach Baicheng, and then, the Jinyang National Army, which was supposed to come to the rescue, surrendered with Mo Zhong, and Wei Wenguang seemed to have been seriously injured by someone.
If there is something you don't understand, all kinds of speculations will naturally arise. But the truth of the facts is still difficult to guess, so the whole army of the Great Plains Kingdom finally agreed that it was their prince's heroic martial arts that took Baicheng in one fell swoop. As for Lan Shaofeng's success in capturing Baicheng, no one attributed the credit to Zuo Huaishu, and the lieutenant generals of the Dayuan National Army were still the same as before, treating Zuo Huaishu as a "male demon" who "seduced" their prince, and they couldn't wait to get rid of it quickly.
As for the edict of King Jinyang, more people just thought it was a coincidence, and it was the sky that wanted to help Lan Shaofeng.
On that day, after the army passed the Huping Cliff, they encamped on a flat land ten miles away from the Huping Cliff.
Lan Shaofeng didn't explain, so the soldiers made two beds next to each other in the commander's military tent according to the previous arrangement.
Zuo Huaishu saw the two beds in the military tent and didn't say anything.
After Lan Shaofeng finished inspecting the barracks and returned to the military tent, it was already three o'clock, and Zuo Huaishu had not slept yet.
She sat on the bed with a dress on, and was reading his military book again, saying that it was because she was holding the book in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the open page, but she seemed to be thinking about something, and the book in her hand did not turn a page for a long time.
Her complexion in the past few days has been better than before, and her face seems to be a little bloody.
The only candle on the desk was burning, the wind outside was blowing on the military tent, and the light and shadow inside the tent were swaying.
Zuo Huaishu's skin was already fair, and it was even more white and pretty against the background of the orange candlelight, and Lan Shaofeng couldn't help but look at her.
As if sensing that someone was looking at her, Zuo Huaishu raised her head, she and Lan Shaofeng's gaze touched, and her gloomy eyes were a little deep and difficult to understand.
What does she think about every day? Or are you calculating something?
Baicheng avoided major casualties as she expected, Empress Anling's Feiyu Palace was intact, and she seriously injured Wei Wenguang, although Wei Wenguang was lucky not to die, but if she had the heart to want Wei Wenguang to die, she could still put Wei Wenguang to death again. Everything went according to what she thought and expected, but she was not happy to see her.
What did she really want, and what did she want in the end?
"You at least tell me, where did those vanished Red Flame Army go?" Lan Shaofeng spoke to Zuo Huaishu first.
"Dead, all dead." Zuo Huaishu said.
Lan Shaofeng heard the expected answer, and sure enough, Empress Anling died, and the Red Flame Army under her command was also dead. If it weren't for their deaths, how could so many people suddenly disappear? But who can kill tens of thousands of soldiers in the Red Flame Army? Who can have that ability? Looking at Jinyang Kingdom, Lan Shaofeng thought of King Jinyang in his heart. But even if it is the King of Jinyang, the soldiers of the Red Flame Army should not be captured. Unless, the Red Flame Army is calculated, unknowingly and defenselessly, and slaughtered.
And now Zuo Huaishu wants to avenge the dead Queen Anling and the dead Red Flame Army.
The object of her revenge is, the people of the Wei Mansion? Does it also include the King of Jinyang, the king of a country?
"Please rest assured, I will not implicate the prince." Zuo Huaishu seemed to guess what Lan Shaofeng was thinking.
Implicate? Lan Shaofeng didn't expect her to be implicated in this matter.
Her cold tone seemed to make her relationship with him clear.
"And how did you survive?" Lan Shaofeng asked again.
"The queen mother exchanged her life for my life." After Zuo Huaishu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.
In the dead of night, Zuo Huaishu slept and Lan Shaofeng also slept.
In the dark military tent, Lan Shaofeng first looked sideways at Zuo Huaishu, who was asleep on the bed next to her, she was motionless and quiet.
After Lan Shaofeng turned his face back, Zuo Huaishu, who hadn't really fallen asleep, turned his face to Lan Shaofeng's side. His breath was close to him, and his breath was steady and powerful.
But he's just an unrelated person.
Zuo Huaishu agreed to make peace, but it was just to escape from the palace. And it is impossible for him to bear the blood feud on her body with her.
It was late at night.
A few days have passed, and Lan Shaofeng still hasn't been able to ask anything from Zuo Huaishu. So, he turned his goal to Wei Wenguang again.
Wei Wenguang's injuries are recovering, and he can already sit up from the bed on his own, not as weak as before.
When Wei Wenguang saw Lan Shaofeng coming in from outside, his eyes couldn't help but become sharp, he still had a deep hostility towards Lan Shaofeng, but not because he became Lan Shaofeng's prisoner, but that night, Lan Shaofeng said that he would be unfavorable to Zuo Huaishu.
Shu'er is alright, right? Wei Wenguang was still worried about Zuo Huaishu in his heart.
"How's Shu'er? If you dare to touch her, I won't let you go. Wei Wenguang's hands on the bed board were clenched into fists and said sharply to Lan Shaofeng.
"Marshal Wei himself is difficult to protect, and he still has the leisure to worry about others. Instead of worrying about others, think about how you can save your own life. Lan Shaofeng was not afraid of Wei Wenguang's threat.
"Now that it has fallen into your hands, what do you want to do, please." When he spoke, Wei Wenguang didn't frown, he was not the kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Wei Wenguang is quite backbone, which is in line with Wei Wenguang in what Lan Shaofeng heard.
After the death of Empress Anling, the military strength of Jinyang State was far less than before, but Wei Wenguang was still a capable commander, perhaps because Wei Wenguang followed Empress Anling for several years when he was a child.
Speaking of Wei Wenguang, he is very different from his father Wei Kuichong, who is strict with himself and upright.
As for Wei Kuichong, he is sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact he is cunning and cunning.
It is rumored that Wei Wenguang and his father have always been at odds, at least not close. But who knows, they are not estranged on the surface, behind the scenes?
Otherwise, how could there be ministers in the court of Jinyang State who jointly impeached Wei Wenguang for embezzling military salaries. Although, Lan Shaofeng knew about the edict of King Jinyang, and it was Zuo Huaishu who was behind it. But the embezzlement of military salaries should be true, there is no conclusive evidence, who dares to impeach Wei Wenguang, the son of the prime minister and the generalissimo.
However, Lan Shaofeng really couldn't see that Wei Wenguang was the kind of greedy person.
There is also the battle in Baicheng, what kind of conditions did Mo Zhong offer, so that Wei Wenguang could send troops to rescue Baicheng without an imperial order. Money? Or is it female?
However, Wei Wenguang sent troops this time, neither because of money, nor because of women.
Lan Shaofeng didn't understand Wei Wenguang's temperament, and second, he was not one of the old people in the past, so it was naturally difficult to see clearly.
Ten days ago, the cronies sent by Mo Zhong went to Qianming City and met Wei Wenguang, the marshal of Jinyang State.
"Marshal Wei, if you don't send troops, once Lan Shaofeng captures Baicheng, Baicheng will inevitably be ruined, and everything in Baicheng, including Empress Anling's Feiyu Palace, will also be destroyed. Marshal Wei probably didn't want to see that kind of scene. "The envoy did not tempt with money, because the envoy knew that even if he gave the world all the money, Wei Wenguang would not send troops if he did not send troops, and he could only move him with emotion.
Mo Zhong knew that before Empress Anling died, Wei Wenguang had a very good relationship with Princess Xiao Huaishu and Empress Anling, although it had been eleven years, as long as Wei Wenguang still had a trace of nostalgia for Princess Xiao Huaishu and Empress Anling in the past, he should not be able to watch Baicheng and Feiyu Palace be destroyed.
Sure enough, Wei Wenguang finally sent troops.
Mo Zhong calculated Wei Wenguang in his hands, and Zuo Huaishu calculated Mo Zhong, one by one.
