Chapter 54
"This father-in-law, is Her Royal Highness the princess?" On this day, Chu Mi entered the palace, first went to Zhaoxian Palace, and made sure that he was safe and sound, and then went to Lingxin Palace in Lingwu in the East.
"It's Miss Chu, Her Royal Highness the princess has explained, you can come and go in directly." The little eunuch made a gesture of please, and led Chu Mi to Dongfang Lingwu.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess" Chu Mi still hugged his fists and saluted with the etiquette of the Jianghu people. Dongfang Lingwu, who was sitting behind the desk, looked up at Chu Mi for a moment, and put down the book in his hand, "Is this leaving?" "I have been waiting for Chu Mi to take me to Jizhou, but I don't want Concubine Xian to be seriously ill at this time, Dongfang Du is not there, she is the only child, how can she leave at this time.
"Hmm" Chu Mi smiled and nodded, but saw that Dongfang Lingwu's face did not have any joy, "What, aren't you happy?" "I haven't always wanted to go to Jizhou, why don't I want to go now? After thinking about it for a while, I thought of Concubine Xian, who was aggravated by the wind and cold, and then looked at Dongfang Lingwu carefully, her eyes really had shallow dark circles, and the worry and fatigue in her eyes showed how bad she had been in the past few days.
"Are you worried about Concubine Xian?" Chu Mi walked to the desk, looked at Dongfang Lingwu like this, and hesitated in his heart, whether to tell her the truth. If you don't tell her, looking at her current appearance, she will definitely not go to Jizhou with herself, but now this virtuous concubine, her illness will never get better, and she will always live in the palace with a sick and weak appearance, I am afraid that Dongfang Lingwu will also have a bad life. If it is to sue sΓΉ her......
"Well, I'm worried about her." Can you not worry about Concubine Xian, that is the person who raised her, like her biological mother, and like Dongfangdu, she calls her mother concubine. The mother concubine is sick, and she is naturally worried. Dongfang Lingwu lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his eyes and asked, "Can you wait for the concubine's illness to heal before going to Jizhou?" I knew in my heart that Chu Mi would take her to Jizhou, but because she wanted to see Dongfangdu, if she didn't want to go at this time, she was afraid that she would go first.
Chu Mi was stunned, walked around the desk, bit the corner of his lip lightly, and looked like he wanted to say something, looking at Dongfang Lingwu quite puzzled. Seeing Chu Mi standing beside him, he hesitated, "Senior sister might as well say it if she has something to say." β
Chu Mi turned his head and glanced around, seeing that there was no palace maid and eunuch in the study, he bent down, leaned into Dongfang Lingwu's ear, and said softly: "The real virtuous concubine has already left the palace and gone to Wuya Mountain, and now that virtuous concubine is fake, so she has to pretend to be seriously ill in order to hide people's eyes and ears." After speaking, he straightened up and looked at Dongfang Lingwu who was stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Dongfang Lingwu couldn't react for a while, his eyes were dull and he looked at Chu Mi for a long time before asking, "Can you get me out of the palace like this?" β
"Uh......" This time Chu Mi couldn't react, and looked at Dongfang Lingwu dumbfounded, wondering in her heart, what kind of brain circuit is she?
"Can't you?" Dongfang Lingwu blinked, "Forget it, if you can't, you can't." Knowing that Concubine Xian was fine, he was immediately relieved. got up and said with a happy face: "When I change into the palace maid's regular clothes, I will leave the palace immediately!" "At this moment, the heart that wants to go to Jizhou has already flown out of the palace.
A month later, an army of 40,000 motorized battalions arrived in Jizhou. The border city fell, and the Western Defense Army retreated to Huaicheng. There are 220,000 Western Defense Army, while the Western Defense Army in Huaicheng is less than 50,000. There are four states bordering the Western Xuan Kingdom, and the Western Defense Line is the longest of the three defense lines, and it is also the most difficult to defend.
"Report to the general, 40,000 reinforcements have arrived." The guards on the tower of the east gate of Huaicheng saw the military flag of the mobile battalion fluttering in the wind, and immediately got down from the city tower and rode back to the general's mansion to report. It is said to be the general's mansion, but it is just a temporary mansion for the generals and soldiers to discuss important matters.
It has already been reported that the Holy Lords have sent 40,000 mobile battalions to support the western defense, and 100,000 troops have been recruited throughout the country, and new troops will be added to the defense lines in various places in the near future. In this way, the recapture of the border city is just around the corner.
The 40,000 troops stayed and were stationed outside the East City Gate, and Zhang Shaocheng brought Dongfang Du and a few generals into the city gate, and met General Chen Kehao who rushed over. "The last general, Chen Kehao, see the general." In front of the big general, he, a small general, had to be called the last general.
"General Chen is exempt." Zhang Shaocheng stretched out his hand to help Chen Kehao up, but saw that he knelt hard and couldn't get up.
"The last general is ashamed, he lost the border city, and he didn't dare to get up." The border city was captured in only one day, and he, a general, really had no shame to see Zhang Shaocheng, a hussar general. Even if he killed him with a sword at this moment, he would have nothing to say.
"The border city is lost, and then recapture it to make up for the merits, General Chen get up." Chen Kehao heard Zhang Shaocheng's words and knew that he would not deal with himself, so he put down his heart and got up.
"General Xie, the last general will recapture the border city and drive the Xixuan army back to their Xixuan country."
Chen Kehao brought Dongfang Du and his party back to the General's Mansion, which rushed all the way to Huaicheng, and recaptured the border city, and he was not in a hurry on this day.
"General, the house is all cleaned up, let's stay in the General's Mansion tonight. The last general has asked people to prepare a dinner party, especially for the general to pick up the wind and wash the dust. Chen Kehao followed Zhang Shaocheng's side.
After Chen Kehao finished saying this, Zhang Shaocheng did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Dongfangdu, "Vice General Ling, General Chen wants to set up a banquet for us to wash the wind and dust, what do you think?" "The defenders of the border city only knew that the general brought a mobile battalion to support, but they didn't know that the current second prince also came with the army.
Seeing that the general actually asked the deputy general next to him what he meant, Chen Kehao's heart trembled, and he thought: 'Isn't it because the war is urgent, but I am dissatisfied at this juncture thinking about setting up a banquet to wash the wind and dust?' Thinking of this, he immediately clenched his fists and said to Zhang Shaocheng: "General, the last general is not thoughtful, and at this juncture, he doesn't think about how to recapture the border city......" Zhang Shaocheng raised his hand at this time, signaling that General Chen didn't have to explain.
"It's up to the general." Dongfang Du clenched his fists and said, he followed Zhang Shaocheng to Jizhou, not to be a second prince who didn't do anything.
After listening to Dongfang Du, Zhang Shaocheng turned his head and said to General Chen: "You don't have to prepare the dinner extravagantly and wastefully, just prepare it at will." Let's take us to rest first. β
Several people are in one room and one person, but Dongfang Du also brought a small soldier to live in the same room, and it seems that the little soldier should be her personal entourage. Chen Kehao wondered in his heart, how could a deputy general still carry a small soldier with him, isn't it...... That kind of relationship? In this barracks, there is only that kind of relationship between those who follow the general and share a room.
"Second prince, along the way, why didn't you speak, and listened to General Zhang everywhere?" There were only two people in the room, Dongfang Du and Banlan, and Banlan could finally speak easily. From the capital to Jizhou, along the way, Dongfang Du was silent, and only quietly followed Zhang Shaocheng's side, really like a deputy general. No, what kind of thing is it, she was originally a lieutenant.
"Banlan, I'm his lieutenant now, so naturally I have to listen to him." Dongfang Du explained, and after speaking, he sat down in a chair, leaned his back against the backrest, and closed his eyes. All the way, I slept in the military tent, and I never had a good rest, and I sighed in my heart, and I could finally sleep in the house.
"But you are also the second prince!" Banlan looked at Dongfang Du, even if she had the title of deputy general, she was also the second prince today, and her status was more noble than Zhang Shaocheng.
"Second prince?" Dongfang Du opened his eyes and looked sideways at Banlan, "Do you treat me as the second prince?" Don't come, you have to follow! "I always feel like dragging a small oil bottle by my side, but don't get into trouble for yourself!
Banlan was embarrassed and aggrieved, "Second prince, do you dislike me so much?" "I risked being beheaded, I followed all the way, so you don't want me to follow? Thinking about it, his eyes were red, and tears welled up in his eyes, "If you dislike it, I'll ...... I'll leave now and go back to the capital!" He turned around and wanted to leave.
Dongfang Du hurriedly got up and grabbed Banlan, "Okay, my little aunt and grandmother, this is all in Jizhou, how can I rest assured that you will go back as a little girl." Just keep it and don't get me into trouble! Especially ......"
"Especially what?" Banlan wiped her tears and turned her head to look at Dongfangdu.
"Especially don't cry like a girl, be careful that people know your identity, and directly knock you out and carry the wheel!" The barracks are full of men, and I don't know how long I haven't touched a woman. This half-Lan is a little girl, she doesn't have any martial arts, if she is known to be a woman, she must not be ruined!
"Follow me from now on, wherever I go!" Dongfang Du instructed, paused, thought that he still had to go on the field to kill the enemy, and said: "If I go out to fight, you will stay in my room honestly!" Don't go anywhere! "The more I thought about it, the more I thought I was bringing a small oil bottle.
"Mmmmmmmmmm
I can't help but think of the dark clouds again, I haven't seen her for more than a month, I miss her so much. I don't know where she went in the days before leaving, and if the person who was with her at the moment was a dark cloud, how nice it would be.
"Yun'er, if you were by my side now, how good would it be? I really want to give up the army, find a random place with you, and live in seclusion for a lifetime. "At this moment, the thought of seclusion is still there. The past follows the wind, so let the things of the previous life be buried in the previous life, "Yun'er, I miss you so much." When will we really be together......"
Dongfangdu, who was in a fugue, was pulled back to reality by a knock on the door, and then heard someone outside the house say, "Vice General Ling, there are two sons looking for you outside." β
