Chapter 29: The Fall of the Veteran (1)

In the hinterland of the Central Plains, the three cities occupied by the Southern Xinjiang Army are Xiangcheng, Lucheng and Jiaguancheng. The three cities of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info are coordinated with each other, and the defense is very favorable, showing a situation of moving one city and connecting three cities, so the surrounding rogues and even Tianyou dare not easily attack the three cities.

Among them, Jiaguan City is located in the center, the most prosperous, and the city is also the largest, and is garrisoned by Wei Chi Lieyu, the marshal of southern Xinjiang. In terms of geographical location, Lucheng belongs to the barrier of Jiaguan City, which is more important, so it is garrisoned by the deputy general Nangong Nuo. As the smallest city among the three cities, Xiangcheng is relatively easy to defend by Lan Junfeng, the newly appointed patrol general in southern Xinjiang, relying on the topography.

Shen Kuo led the army all the way to the west, and after avoiding the pursuit of Tianyou, he traveled unhindered all the way, and came to Lucheng in less than seven days.

Nangong Nuo received the news from Shen Kuo's dispatch and personally greeted him at the city gate.

There was light snow in the air, and the temperature was particularly cold today.

Nangong Nuo heard that Shen Kuo had rescued his father and second uncle, and he was eager to see them, it was cold outside, but his heart was very warm.

Seeing more than 100 people coming towards this side from a distance, and seeing that the leader was really Shen Kuo, Nangong Nuo was overjoyed and immediately ordered the soldiers to put down the city gate.

The gates whimpered and fell heavily, forming a passage over the moat.

Jiang Kuo led the army to arrive in a blink of an eye, Nangong Nuo watched from the city gate, searched around, but found that there was no figure of his father and second uncle in the army. was suspicious, and the smile on his face gradually fell. Seeing that everyone was embarrassed, and their faces were full of gloom, they were even more puzzled at the moment, so they turned around and went downstairs without saying a word.

Shen Kuo led the army into Lucheng and happened to face Nangong Nuo.

This Nangong Nuo is the eldest son of Nangong Ding, about the same age as Shen Kuo, and the two are military school students at the same time, but they are no longer the same military school. The distance between eastern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang is relatively close, and military exchanges are close, and the two are also very familiar with each other in private.

Shen Kuo dismounted, just in front of Shangnangong Nuo's eyes looking at him, his heart tightened, his nose was slightly sour, and he suddenly felt guilty, and he avoided his gaze without a word.

Huang Fu Cen followed him and took Yu Chixun off the horse, sighed lightly, and didn't know how to speak.

Nangong Nuo felt that the atmosphere between them was very strange, and was about to ask a question, but the soldiers behind Shen Kuo got out of the way.

Nangong Ao and Nangong Nan came with a cart with a coffin on it, followed by Qingying and others.

When Nangong Nuo saw the two coffins, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and stepped forward. He stumbled for a moment, stopped his steps, and met Nangong Ao's eyes.

"Xiao Ao......" he said slowly, his voice trembling a little.

Nangong Ao jumped out of the carriage, his face calm, clenched his teeth, he held back tears, his eyes were slightly red.

He stepped forward and came to Nangong Nuo, knelt down without saying a word, looked up at him, and frowned, "Big brother!" I didn't bring my dad back. ”

He lowered his head as he spoke, feeling guilty in his heart, and the tears that he held back in his eyes finally broke the embankment.

Nangong Nuo was stunned, looked up at the two coffins, and ran over eagerly, he gasped for breath and was terrified in his heart.

Pushing the lid of the coffin open, Nangong Ding's pale face was revealed, and small snowflakes immediately fell on his cold corpse.

"Daddy......" Nangong Nuo muttered, but there was no response.

His whole body trembled, his teeth chattered up and down, a tingling pain flashed in his head for a moment, his body shook, he supported the edge of the coffin with his hands, and his hands clutched the coffin board, and his nails dug into it, leaving deep nicks,

He buried his head under his arms, closed his eyes, let the tears fall to the ground, and took a deep breath. Looking up again, with tears on his face and tears in his eyes, he slowly turned his head and walked towards the coffin in the back.

Nangong Nan couldn't help but step aside, turned her head away, and clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves.

Pushing open the lid of the coffin, it was Nangong Peng.

"Second Uncle......"

Nangong Nuo closed his eyes as he spoke, trembling, and closed the lids of the two coffins.

He slowly returned to Nangong Ao's side, knelt down, raised his right arm and hugged him into his arms, his hand was clenched into a fist, against Nangong Ao's back shoulder, and asked coldly on the side of his face, "Who is it?" Who killed my father and second uncle? ”

"It must be a raging wave!" Nangong Ao gritted his teeth and spit out two words, his eyes were red, as if he was stained with a layer of blood, and it seemed like he had caused a fire.

"Xiao Ao, we will definitely avenge our father and second uncle!"

"I'm going to kill him with my own hands!" Nangong Ao said fiercely, the fist hanging by his side clenched tightly.

Every word he said was like a needle piercing Kiyokage's heart, one was her best friend, the other was her favorite husband.

Why is this happening? What about her? Watching them kill each other? What could she do?

She is his wife, the daughter-in-law of the Nangong family, she can only stand by his side, can't she? But she was still conflicted, she couldn't watch Kong Yu being killed by him......

This thing is really empty...... A killer under the storm?

Qingying thought about raising her hand to brush the tips of her hair, the hairpin that represented the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Nangong family, in this increasingly snowy sky, gradually disappeared its brilliance, making her heart chaotic.

Six days ago –

Shen Kuo and the others escaped the pursuit of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers, but Nangong Ding and Nangong Peng suddenly vomited blood!

Everyone had to find a ruined temple first and stay for a while.

There are all kinds of signs that the two generals were poisoned, and Yu Renwu, a military doctor in Eastern Xinjiang, also shook his head after seeing it.

Qingying remembered that he had the detoxification powder given by Tang Ruyu on his body, and Yu Renwu knew that it was ineffective when he saw it.

"This is a strange poison in Dongjiang, which is gas-like, and the whole body is weak after smelling, the hands and feet are weak, and the symptoms are like cartilage. However, as soon as the initial strength of the medicine fades, it will be transformed into a highly toxic poison in the body, and the poison will die immediately...... The herb used for detoxification is extinct, so this poison is now incurable......"

As soon as Yu Renwu's words fell, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, they rescued the two generals, but they were already poisoned!

Nangong Ao was very excited, he shook his head, and stepped forward to grab Yu Renwu's arm, "Military doctor!" You think about it! Think again! How could my father, how could he ...... "How could he die in such a place?" How can it be in this way?

Why did God take him away when they had just reconciled between father and son?

"Xiao Ao......" Nangong Ding said weakly, "Don't embarrass the military doctor." ”

As he spoke, he coughed heavily.

Nangong Ao immediately knelt down beside him, supported his back, looked at his weak and old face, and felt sad, "Dad...... Stop talking, you'll be fine. He said as he forcibly endured the sourness in his heart, and reluctantly smiled.

Nangong Ding shook his head, "I know, it's almost time." ”

"Daddy......"

Nangong Ding smiled lightly, looked at the people around him, and suddenly felt very relieved, he raised his eyes to look at Qingying standing behind Nangong Ao, and saw that her eyes were red, but she couldn't hold back her tears, and sighed.

"Shen Kuo."

"Commander-in-chief!" Shen Kuo immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Pour three glasses of water." (To be continued.) )
