Expedition to Liao, daughter's love. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the palace hall, the cold wind was howling and the cold was biting, but the soldiers around them stood in place in thin clothes, not afraid of the cold, and guarded dutifully.
At this moment, two people were standing outside the main hall talking to each other, looking at each other.
"But Childe still has important things to do, but I blame Changxian for not being able to accompany Childe up the mountain to find my master, and please don't resent Changxian yet."
"How could I be resentful, if it weren't for the princess, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to wander now."
A faint smile tugged on Bai Xiaoxi's lips: "Besides, I don't want to see you go to the battlefield alone to meet the enemy, so let me accompany you." ”
"But the matter of the son going up the mountain to seek the Tao ......"
"If I really have a relationship with the Tao, it will never leave me, no matter how long it takes."
"Childe is so open-minded that Changxian admires."
"The princess has won the prize."
"Childe doesn't have to be too humble, that's the case...... Bai Xiaoxi listened to the order. ”
"The grass people are here." Bai Xiaoxi knelt down on one knee to receive the order.
"From now on, Bai Xiaoxi will be appointed as Deputy Marshal Jin Ling, and he will coordinate the whole army."
Bai Xiaoxi was stunned, he was at a loss for a while, this was an official position he had never thought of, but the order was in front of him, and he couldn't refuse: "The last general will take the order." ”
Changxian waited for Bai Xiaoxi to get up and said: "Gongzi is now the deputy marshal, and he is also Changxian's left and right hand, and I will ask Gongzi for more advice in the future." ”
Bai Xiaoxi smiled lightly: "The princess is serious, I will not live up to the princess's expectations and complete the great cause of cutting Liao, but the princess is so decisive, how can the emperor explain it?" ”
Changxian nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with my father that from now on I will be fully responsible for the expedition to Liao, including rewarding meritorious deeds and promoting generals." ”
Bai Xiaoxi nodded clearly.
On the day of the expedition, outside the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
The emperor and queen and hundreds of civil and military officials all saw off Changxian and held a grand ceremony.
"Give wine." The emperor's face was serious and his mood was very heavy.
"Thank you."
The generals raised their glasses and drank all the wine in their cups.
"This expedition to Liao, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return for several years, and I hope that all the soldiers will work together to resist foreign enemies and defend the Great Song Dynasty." The emperor was excited and serious.
"Work together to protect my ...... of the Great Song Dynasty"
The voices rang out.
"Father, Xian'er can't be by your side in the future, I hope my father will take care of the dragon's body."
"Father understands that Xian'er doesn't have to worry, as soon as the battle is over, you must come back safely, whether you win or lose, you are my good daughter."
"Father's ......"
The two cried silently, but in order to take care of their face, they immediately stopped their sadness, and the emperor raised his eyes to look at Bai Xiaoxi.
Changxian talked to his mother, and the mother and daughter said goodbye sadly.
"I have heard what Xian'er said, and now that Mr. Bai has been named Deputy Marshal of Jinling, I hope that Mr. will take good care of the little girl, and I am grateful."
Bai Xiaoxi's face was serious, completely different from his usual hippie smile, and he leaned over slightly to salute: "The saint is serious, and the last general will swear to protect the princess to the death." ”
"That's going to be the case, I'm pleased." The corners of the emperor's lips were slightly upturned, and his mood was slightly comfortable.
After the end of the speech, Changxian led the soldiers to leave Bianjing and go straight to the northern border.
The soldiers were a little tired from the long journey, and the scorching sun did not have enough water and drink, so that the soldiers were discouraged.
Bai Xiaoxi knew that it was not a way to go down like this, so he rode to Changxian's side: "General, it's not a way to go on like this, I just looked at the map, and there is a small town around the forest ahead, so it's better to rest and regroup the army after that." ”
After listening to this, Changxian thoughtfully: "Okay, just according to what the deputy marshal said." ”
Bai Xiaoxi's heart warmed for a while, and then the general's order was promulgated, and all the soldiers were secretly happy in their hearts after hearing it.
Walking through the forest, Bai Xiaoxi felt apprehensive in his heart, and after a while, the smoke gradually spread everywhere in the forest, and all the soldiers were uneasy.
"All the soldiers are on alert." Bai Xiaoxi shouted, his face uneasy.
The soldiers slowed down and took out their weapons to guard the surroundings.
"I'm afraid this place has been spelled."
Changxian's words shocked Bai Xiaoxi, and he frowned: "What technique?" ”
"Blindfolding?" Long slender eyebrows frowned slightly: "As soon as this technique is launched, the surrounding environment will undergo earth-shaking changes, making people unable to see and touch clearly, like a ghost covering their eyes, which is a big trouble." ”
"Is there any solution?" Bai Xiaoxi was terrified.
"Although I have been learning Taoism with my master for many years, I have never seen or been familiar with this kind of Taoism, and I only know a thing or two." Changxian was also very anxious in his heart.
Bai Xiaoxi fell into deep thought, he was trying to recall what modern methods could be used to disperse the dense fog and relieve difficulties, although he thought of many ways one by one, but there were no tools available here, so it could not be realized.
However, at this moment, many soldiers have accidentally fallen into the swamp, and there are shouts for help, but fortunately, the soldiers around them heard it and pulled them up to survive.
"Everybody stay where they are." Bai Xiaoxi shouted.
"Yes." When the soldiers heard this, they all agreed.
"General, this is not a way, and the last general has a plan that I don't know if it is feasible." Bai Xiaoxi said with a little confidence.
"Please."
"Walk with ropes tied around your waists, and one person in front of you will lead the way out of this forest, and the horses and the necessary things for the march will be pulled by everyone, and you may be able to get out of this place where the eyes of the devil are covered."
"What Childe said is not unreasonable, it's worth a try, just follow what Childe said."
"General Xie."
After the military order was issued, all the soldiers did not hesitate to tie themselves up with the person in front of them, and moved forward slowly step by step, led by Bai Xiaoxi.
After a few hours, the sky was getting darker, the haze was getting thicker and thicker, and the soldiers couldn't help but be anxious.
Bai Xiaoxi looked forward, there was a road not far from the forest, which was exactly the same as the road pointed out on the map, and the ecstatic Bai Xiaoxi led the soldiers to finally walk out of this forest and see the light of day again.
Everyone was delighted, and expressed their admiration and appreciation for the deputy marshal in front of them, this courage and strategy can not be practiced overnight, it can be seen that the deputy marshal is enough to take on the heavy responsibility, and everyone is convinced.
In the past, all the generals felt that Bai Xiaoxi was too easy to get this deputy marshal, and it must have nothing to do with his own strength, although everyone called him the deputy marshal on the surface, but in fact, they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but now Bai Xiaoxi's strange trick to help everyone get out of danger has greatly changed the many dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts.
"Don't be too happy, there is no danger ahead of us." Bai Xiaoxi said jokingly.
Everyone said: "There is a general, don't be afraid." ”
Bai Xiaoxi shook her head with a smile, looked back at Changxian, and found that she was worried, so she walked over and said with concern: "Why is the princess worried?" ”
"Look at the fog."
Bai Xiaoxi raised his eyes to look at the forest, only to see that the dense fog inside the forest had gradually dissipated, and the trees and flowers had gradually appeared, but the only difference was that the flowers and plants on the ground had withered, and the leaves were withered and scattered.
"The person who performs this technique must be a member of the cult, but why should he oppose us? And how did they hear that we were here? "Long fiber judgment and analysis, bitter and clueless.
"It's useless to think about it now, so let's go to the town for a while, I'm afraid the soldiers are already tired."
Long slim cautious nods.
Later, when they came to the town, they saw that it was deserted, dead and silent, and the ground was full of broken chairs and stools and scattered lanterns, which could be seen everywhere.
Bai Xiaoxi frowned, and was very puzzled in his heart: "This place was originally supposed to belong to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, how could it be empty, and there was not even a single livestock, what was going on?" ’
"We've come this way, I'm afraid our whereabouts are already in the hands of the enemy, so be careful." Bai Xiaoxi analyzed.
Long Slim nodded.
The pace of walking all the way was quite slow, and nothing unusual was found along the way, and when he reached the center of the town, Bai Xiaoxi stopped to observe, listening carefully to the slightest whistling sound of only a light breeze.
Bai Xiaoxi rode back to Changxian's side: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's camp around the town and rest for the night, so as not to be surrounded by enemy troops." ”
"Everything will be arranged according to Childe's wishes."
When Bai Xiaoxi heard Changxian's words, her heart was even warmer and more congratulatory.
"Yes."
The night was long, and all the soldiers had fallen asleep, only Bai Xiaoxi watched the stars at night, and sat outside the tent...... Look up in a daze.
'I think I should have listened to my eldest sister at the beginning, worked hard, got married and had children, wouldn't it be better to have an ordinary life? Now I don't even have anything to spend the night haspiting, let alone a chat partner, oh my God, when will you let me go back? ’
On the Liao side, there is an army stationed about twenty miles away from the town at this moment.
"General, tonight is a good opportunity to do it, and I will definitely catch him off guard."
"Adjutant General Left has a point."
The soldiers on both sides agreed and nodded in praise.
"No, not tonight."
In the middle stood a man with a tiger on his back, wearing a mink coat and a tiger helmet armor, looking fierce and vicious, but the momentum was majestic, presumably he was Yelu Tor, the third prince of Liao.
"Why is that, General?"
"The Heavenly Master told me that there is a person in that army who is very witty, if it weren't for this person, I'm afraid that the Great Song army would have been lost in the forest and would never be able to get out, I really didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty would have such a capable person, we underestimated this soft persimmon Great Song."
"In that case, let the last general go and learn this person and see if he is really that powerful."
"No, the Heavenly Master has his own tricks, we don't need to do it." Yelutor had a smug expression.
The people were silent and silent.
"Heavenly Master, are you sure of winning?" Yelutor walked out of the tent and stood at the Shagobi to talk to the Heavenly Master.
"Although the prince is assured, I expect that tomorrow will be sunny, and the Song army, which lacks water in the scorching sun, may not be able to survive even half a day."
"The Heavenly Master deserves to be one of the three elders of the Immortal Qiong Pavilion, today is really an eye-opener for this king, hahaha!" Jertor laughed.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the partiality of the master back then, the position of the head of the family was passed to the senior brother too empty, I remembered the friendship of the master, and did not hurt the killer, he took advantage of the weakness and was seriously injured and fell into the cliff, fortunately the emperor's mercy was able to save his life, and now it is a matter of the poor road to serve the great Liao, and the prince is too good to promote the poor road."
"This king is from the bottom of his heart, how can he be lifted? I wonder if the Heavenly Master ever wanted to regain the position of the head of the sect? ”
"Well, now that I'm old, even if I get the position of head of the house, it doesn't mean much to me, my only wish is to find my senior brother to avenge the revenge of the day, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart."
"Heavenly Master doesn't need to worry, the day when my Great Liao replaces the Great Song Dynasty is the time for the Heavenly Master to take revenge, and I hope that the Heavenly Master will wait quietly, within a few months, the Great Song Dynasty will be defeated."
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
"You're welcome, hahaha!"
The two had a very pleasant conversation late at night.
On the other hand, in the Great Song military camp, Changxian tossed and turned, got up and walked out of the camp tent, but unexpectedly saw Bai Xiaoxi sitting outside his tent alone, his clothes were thin, and the cold wind was biting, but he didn't know the cold, he just raised his eyes to look at the sky.
Changxian thought to herself, "Childe is probably missing his hometown again." ’
Bai Xiaoxi looked at the starry sky, dotted with stars, and was very grateful in his heart:
'I wonder how the eldest sister is at home alone?' ’
