Volume 7 Flying Dragon Army, Flying Dragon Army! Chapter Twenty-Three: Three Pieces of Bad News

I jumped on the spot and said, "Why did you think of me at this time?" I whispered to Geng Ling, "Do you want all that money in the palace?" ”

Geng Ling said: "Who doesn't want money?" What our Flying Dragon Army lacks most is military salaries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I asked again, "Do you want to put those people in Heggis?" ”

Geng Ling said firmly: "I don't want to." ”

I said, "It depends on whether you want people more or you want money." ”

As the Flying Dragon Army surrounded the Imperial City, the soldiers put out the fire in all directions to appease the people, at this time the people of the Kingdom of Qiu outside the Imperial City slowly approached, the panic on their faces did not go away, and they stood behind the Flying Dragon Army with the old and the young and looked up at the city, their eyes were full of anger, an old man trembled and came to Geng Lingma, and the old man said with tears: "General, please must avenge our country, and you must not let these murderers go unpunished!" As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed vigorously. Everyone else also knelt on the ground, and they all looked at Geng Ling without saying a word, with a lot of pleading and pleading in their eyes, and gradually, all the people of the nearby country rushed to hear the news, and then they knelt silently behind the team, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they were kneeling around the imperial city and couldn't see the edge.

General Hegis was anxious, and hurriedly said, "General Geng, you won't give up a large amount of low-hanging fruit for these irrelevant people, right?" ”

Geng Ling said: "Xiaolong, the Flying Dragon Army, you have the final say, you can make a decision." ”

I inadvertently met the old man's gaze, and I only felt that he seemed to pin all his hopes on me, I touched my chin and said, "It seems that we didn't come to the country for money, right?" Of course, this windfall is good to get, but it is reasonable not to get it. ”

Geng Ling said: "Well said! He looked up and said, "Now I'll give you time to set the fire, and when you're done burning things, it's time for our Wyvern Army to attack the city!" ”

The general shrank his neck and said, "You...... Are you crazy? ”

When the people of the Kingdom heard Geng Ling say this, they were both moved and sad, and cried in unison. Mom looked at Geng Ling's eyes with a little more approval. The general hurried down the city.

We waited for a while but didn't see any fireworks in the city, Wu Ying asked Geng Ling, "Brother Geng, do we still use the old method to get in?" ”

Geng Ling nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Kumei said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll help you open the door!" So saying, she jumped from her horse, and with a few ups and downs jumped into the palace. Immediately after that, we listened to the shouts of killing inside, as if thousands of troops were fighting. Wu Ying couldn't help but be surprised: "Even if Master Kumei is a master of the saint level, she won't make such a big move, right?" ”

After a while, Kumei jumped out of it, and laughed: "These rabbit cubs didn't use me to do it themselves, they have already killed each other." Everyone was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked her what was going on, it turned out that the Hegis soldiers saw that the negotiation could not be completed and immediately started infighting, some of them had robbed a lot of treasures, and naturally did not want to burn it in vain, so they wanted to break out, and the other part of the people advocated defending the palace, maybe they could hope to come to the reinforcements, and some people had no fighting spirit and wanted to surrender, so the first group of people wanted to open the city gate and rush out, and the opponents blocked the city gate to prevent them from approaching, and the more the two sides talked, the more stiff they became, and they actually started to move at the city gate, and they were now alone, Everyone was only trying to protect themselves, and the orders of the governor fell on deaf ears, and the chaos could no longer be stopped, and we heard the city gates being slammed with loud noises, and it was evident that someone was about to rush out.

Yu Manli said excitedly: "As soon as the city gate opens, everyone will follow me and rush in!" ”

Geng Ling listened to it for a while, and suddenly said to Kumei: "Master, do you see clearly that they really have infighting?" ”

Kumei said: "Then there is still a fake?" ”

Geng Ling said to me, "Xiaolong, please take a look again." ”

I flew to the middle of the palace, looked down, and saw a group of Heggis soldiers standing in front of the city gate in two groups facing each other, constantly colliding with each other with their weapons, but their feet did not move, and a group of people pressed their hands against the city gate, and after a while they worked together to make the city gate make a roar similar to that after being hit hard, under the eaves of the palace on both sides of the city gate, there were two long rows of men and horses, all of them were prepared with bows and knives out of their sheaths, and it seemed that they were really preparing to open the city gate by themselves, and then create the illusion of infighting for the Wyvern Army. As soon as we storm the city, they're going to kill them.

I could see clearly in the sky, but the Haggis soldiers on the ground did not notice me, and they all looked nervous, staring at the city gates, and those who were making a show were also performing hard, the scene was strange and funny, like a magician who clearly wore it and didn't know it, and still pretended to be there.

I laughed and fell to the ground, and everyone hurriedly asked me, "How is it?" ”

I said to Kumei: "Amei, you go in and take a look again, you have to be careful." ”

Kumei's face was full of confusion, and without saying a word, she jumped into the palace again, and this time it took a long time before she came out, and said ashamedly and angrily: "Hegis is a group of cunning dogs - they have an ambush!" She asked Geng Ling, "Did you know in advance?" ”

Geng Ling smiled and said: "Of course not, but I wonder how they can quarrel in such a quick time and divide into camps, which is also too fast - obviously they sent people to negotiate with us just to delay time, the main purpose is to discuss countermeasures, if we agree to their conditions, it will be the best, if it doesn't work, then set a trap, so that we can't get better." ”

Xiao Yan said: "The Heggis people are really yin and poisonous! ”

My mother said: "But their consciousness of never sitting still in danger is worth learning from." ”

Wu Ying said: "What should we do now?" ”

Geng Ling said: "According to the original method, I asked people to go first to the city and open the door." ”

Kumei shouted: "I'll go!" "As soon as she fell for the Hegis people, she was angry, and this time she had to get this face back. In fact, it's not all her fault, the surname Kumei is actually a little reckless, and she can't hang in the sky like me and observe for a long time, so she was blinded for a while.

I said, "Amei, your main task is not to open the city gate, you still know the guy you negotiated with us just now, right?" If you can kill him, it's a great achievement. ”

Kumei said: "Yes, Master! As he spoke, he jumped in again. Geng Ling and the others were all confused when they heard her call me master.

Kumei jumped in this time and we heard a few more screams, these few sounds were mixed in an artificial mess to appear sincere, Geng Ling said loudly: "Listen to the people inside, your tricks have been seen through by us, don't pretend anymore!" Before he could finish speaking, he threw a bloody human head along the city wall, which was the head of the general who negotiated with us, and then a great chaos broke out in the city, but this time the chaos was really chaos.

Geng Ling changed the original battle plan at the moment, he asked people to feint to attack the west city gate opposite us, and launched the other three directions of the flying dragon army to attack, Hegis only said that the main force of the flying dragon army was here, and accordingly also concentrated a large number of men and horses at the west gate, as a result, the other three gates were quickly lost, Geng Ling then called people to launch a general attack, and for a while, the four sides attacked, and the imperial city became a pot of porridge.

Since the founding of the country, the country has probably never thought of using the imperial city to defend against the enemy, the wall is far from the real city wall in terms of height and thickness, the Flying Dragon Army began to send the swordsmen into it by using the ladder, and is also honestly attacking the city gate, as a result, someone accidentally found that the wall fell as long as a few people pushed together, everyone rushed in, the Flying Dragon Army 100,000 against the enemy 20,000, in fact, even if you can't see the trap set by the enemy just now, it is bound to win in the end, Hegis is struggling to support completely by the terrain, At this time, the wall fell and 20,000 people were all exposed to the view of the Wyverns, and after a very short fierce battle, it showed a decline in a moment, and after half an hour, the battlefield gradually calmed down - the Hegis army was finally wiped out. A soldier came and reported: "Commander, we have found a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry on the corpses of the Haggis soldiers, and we will leave it to the commander to decide what to do with them." ”

Geng Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Collect them together first, send someone to take care of them, and no one is allowed to move without my order." ”

The soldier of the Kingdom of Qiu, who reported to us, said: "General Geng, although I am just an insignificant pawn, I can say something on behalf of the people of our country, you have helped us avenge the country this time, these things should have belonged to your army, even if this is not able to repay your life-saving grace." ”

Geng Ling said to me: "Xiaolong, I think so, we must fight for our things, we can't ask for things that are not ours, this money is the blood and sweat of the people of the country at the root, if we take it, what is the difference between us and the Hejis?" ”

I nodded, "That's right." I turned to the soldiers of the Kingdom of Na and said, "We will keep this money for you first, and we will definitely need it when you return to the countryβ€”has your emperor left an heir?" ”

"No, and if I say something rebellious, even if we do, we can't let him continue to plague the kingdom."

I said, "Then you should re-elect a man who can be trusted by the common people to be the emperor." ”

The old man, who had been kneeling in front of Geng Ling's horse, suddenly said, "Do you still need to choose?" I think it's best to have the Dragon Sword God or this Geng General come to be our emperor. ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Don't don't, I will lose money for opening an inn, how can I be an emperor?" ”

Geng Ling also said: "I'm even worse." ”

As soon as the old man said this, the people of the country seemed to see new hope, and knelt down again, and the old man said: "The two of them refused to agree because they thought that our people in the country were weak and weak, and would it drag the two of them down?" "There is a big characteristic of the people of the country, that is, when I begged you, I knelt there without saying a word, looking at you with watery eyes, I really couldn't stand it and stabbed Geng Ling and said: "Or you will be, right?" Geng Ling glared at me and said, "Why are you inappropriate?" He suddenly said to everyone: "Everyone, you are a daughter country, how can you be the emperor of another country, but this dragon sword god does not belong to any country, if he becomes your emperor, don't say that Hegis will not dare to invade again, and you will be looked down upon everywhere in the Eighteen Nations Alliance." "Although Geng Ling doesn't know my identity very clearly, I am not from the mainland, but he knows nothing about it.

As soon as the people of the country heard this, they had even more conviction that they had to pull me into the water, and they kowtowed to me together, and I persuaded them several times that they couldn't afford to do it, and I couldn't help but make me crazy.

Geng Ling saw that I was really unwilling, so he said: "That's it, you guys will pick the emperor's candidates slowly, during this time, our Flying Dragon Army will temporarily take over the city defense and reconstruction work of the Kingdom of Qiu, if there is really no suitable person in the end, I will help you persuade the Dragon Sword God." Only then did the people agree.

After this catastrophe, the population of the Kingdom of Yu has plummeted by one-fifth, the city has been almost destroyed, and the army has been wiped out.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, my mother wanted to say goodbye to us and return to the Qi country, she said to Geng Ling: "I will supervise and send the materials promised to you by various countries, and the things I promised Commander Geng will also be prepared as soon as possible." ”

Geng Ling said: "On behalf of the Flying Dragon Army, I would like to thank the general. ”

Zhang Qihu was still staring at Yu Manli intently when he left, and finally gently touched the armor on Yu Manli's shoulder and said, "This embroidery is really beautiful, can you embroider a set for me according to the pattern on my armor?" ”

Yu Manli said: "Good ......"

My mother motioned for me to go over and send her, and the two of us walked side by side, and my mother glanced back and said: "Yang Yang, you are not only a sword god now, but also have the trump card of the Flying Dragon Army in your hand, and you will be the backbone of the alliance in the future." ”

I sighed and said, "I've seen it through, I need the backbone wherever I go - I'm an artificial heart stent." ”

My mother smiled and said, "In order to boost the morale of the allies, I am thinking about one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Isn't it time for me to reveal who you really are?"

I was taken aback and said, "What are you going to say?" ”

The old mother said: "It's also something I haven't thought about yet, if the allies know that you are my son, their morale will definitely be greatly boosted, and there will be a lot less separation on the side of the Flying Dragon Army, but it's difficult to make this a round." ”

I said, "You're not going to say I'm your illegitimate son, are you?" ”

"Phew! I have been Zhao Fanghua for more than 20 years, and I have never left the barracks for a day, will others not know if I really have illegitimate children? ”

"Yes, the difference between a woman and a man is that even if you want to have an illegitimate child, you have to give birth to it yourself."

My mother said, "So I'm wondering if I should tell the empress all the truth, and then make it public to the world." ”

I hurriedly said: "There is a very serious problem here-if the empress knew that you were not actually from the daughter country, I am afraid she would not trust you so much anymore." ”

"That's what I'm most worried aboutβ€”" Mom sighed, "Forget it, it's not time for the time being, anyway, it's not time for the time being, I'll think about it later, you can go back." ”

I pouted and said, "It's really ruthless, when my mother finished talking to her son, she drove me away, regardless of the fact that your son hasn't made love to your daughter-in-law." ”

My mother smiled: "You have no conscience, and I didn't stop you." ”

I came to Su Jing's side and said with a smile: "My mother is your mother, right?" ”

Su Jing is the goddaughter recognized by my mother, and it makes sense for me to say this, but Su Jing also understands that I want to take advantage of her, so I just smiled and said nothing............ After the Flying Dragon Army was stationed in the Kingdom of Qiu, the grain and grass promised by the countries were sent in a steady stream soon, and in order to reward the tribes for their righteous help, Geng Ling sent them a lot of materials and wine brewed by the Kingdom of Qiu back to their respective tribes. The money sealed in the palace has not been touched, and what the country needs most now is clothes and food and other things to rely on for survival, but the Flying Dragon Army has taken out a lot of belongings to support its people.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and this period of time the Flying Dragon Army has been training troops while helping the people of the Kingdom of Yu to rebuild their homes, Wu Sizhong and Qin Yiwu have never seen any movement after retreating to the Black Forest, but they have no intention of withdrawing their troops, and the allies have seen that there is a Flying Dragon Army stationed on the front line, and they have gradually restored their former days.

On this day, my mother sent someone to send a message to me and Geng Ling, asking us to rush to Qi as soon as possible to discuss the military situation, and ask the messenger what was going on, she also didn't know, Geng Ling and I rushed to Qi with a stomach full of questions, because Wu Ying and Xiao Yan wanted to stay behind to supervise the army, so they only brought Liu Jing with them.

When I came to Qi to see my mother, my mother said, "I have a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

I said, "Why don't you play this game - good news first." ”

Geng Ling said, "Let's talk about the bad news first." ”

Mom said: "Then I'll tell you the bad news first-according to reliable sources, Haggis has redeployed 10 armies from the country to rush to the border, each with 200,000 troops, that is, we will soon have another 2 million enemies!" ”

I let out a long sigh and looked at the sky in despair, not even wanting to say a word...... The muscles on Geng Ling's face trembled, and finally said patiently: "Good news?" ”

My mother said: "The good news is that the issue of your Flying Dragon Army has been personally approved by the Empress, and she has agreed to give the Flying Dragon Army a formal canonization and supply, but as I thought at the beginning, the proviso is that I will be in charge." ”

Geng Ling said calmly: "This is indeed good news. ”

Mom said: "We have an agreement first, I still have to be this false name, but the Flying Dragon Army is still under the command of the two of you, if the imperial court sends someone to inspect, I hope you two can unify with me." ”

Geng Ling said: "Naturally, General Lao has bothered. ”

Mom said: "The two news have been said, let's talk about your thoughts." ”

Geng Ling said bluntly: "Hejisi has increased his troops by 2 million, and the remnants of Wu Sizhong and Qin Yiwu are conservatively estimated to have 700,000, plus the Honglie Empire, the total strength of the enemy has reached 4 million. On the other hand, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Phoenix Army add up to less than 300,000, and the Eighteen Nations Alliance only has 700,000, and the combat effectiveness is uneven, and the morale is sluggish, this battle will be very difficult! ”

My mother looked at me and said, "What about you, how do you feel?" ”

I put my toes on my toes and said, "Fight, if there are more lice, don't bite and don't worry about debts, what else can I say?" ”

The old mother sighed helplessly and said: "You usually say these two sentences, you are a scoundrel, but now it can only be like this." ”

Geng Ling said: "Isn't the general unconfident? ”

The old mother smiled bitterly and waved her hand: "Commander Geng, please go down and rest first, I have something to say to the Dragon Sword God alone." ”

Geng Ling bowed and walked out with Liu Jing.

I asked my mother, "Mom, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Mom said: "What do you really think about the increase in Hegis troops?" ”

I also said very directly: "I can't beat it, I have to think of a way from another angle." ”

"For example?"

I said: "For example, Hegis has a characteristic in warfare, once the commander is captured and killed, he will immediately collapse the army, but at present, it seems that even if he kills Wu Sizhong and Qin Yiwu, it will not help, if you want to really cure the symptoms and cure the root cause, you have to start with Ma Jiyue and Zhu Xiaofeng." These two people know that I am very powerful, and they will definitely come up with various ways to avoid my assassination, I am a little powerless alone, but when Su Jing is injured, he may be able to say. ”

My mother suddenly said gloomily: "Yangyang, I actually have two bad news to tell you today. ”

"Huh? What else is there? ”

Mom said, "Xiao Jing, come on." ”

Su Jing had been sitting on the side, and then he stood up, came to me with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Xiaolong, my martial arts may never be able to recover again." ”

From the moment I heard that Heggis had increased troops, I actually understood that my mother came to me and Geng Ling mainly to say this bad news, the establishment of the Flying Dragon Army is relatively not a big deal at all, but I don't think it's anything, until this time I have the feeling of five thunders, I subconsciously said: "You ...... Why can't I recover it? ”

Su Jing still smiled lightly: "I just said that it is possible, on the day I was ambushed by the four great masters, before I fought with them, my sword qi had already consumed ten **, and then in order to cover the binding god guard, I could only do my best, and in the end, I received a thousand moves from the iron warehouse, and my internal injuries intensified and led to meridian disorders, I thought that I might be able to recover within a hundred days, but now there is no improvement, yesterday I barely used my sword qi to check, and found that my meridians were not only messy, but also withered in some places, and ...... in the future I'm afraid it won't get any better. ”

I hurriedly asked, "What about the booklet of Ink?" Didn't you say it helped your injuries? ”

Su Jing shook his head and said: "What is written in that booklet is how to use the meridians to control qi, my meridians are withered, and it is completely useless." ”

I held on to the hope of an eventuality, "I'll take you to find ink now, maybe he has another way?" ”

"It's useless, the ink master Tianzhong Wizard ended up with all the sword qi destroyed, it can be seen that manpower is sometimes poor, he has to have a way to recover his sword qi as soon as possible."

I clenched my right fist, waved my hand and smashed a table, and said angrily, "How so? ”

Su Jing smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry Xiaolong, I won't be able to help you in the future." ”

I saw tears in her eyes, and I hugged her in my arms and said, "It's okay, I'll protect you in the future!" Su Jing rested his head on my shoulder, and there was silence for a long time, and then I felt that my shoulder was wet, and the female sword god who had been empty-eyed finally cried bitterly...... The old mother said: "This news is currently only known to the three of us......" She also felt full of bad feelings at this time, and slowly withdrew. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a report that there was an urgent report in the capital of my daughter's country...... There were only two people left in the room, Su Jing and me, and I held this gentle girl in my arms, and for the first time I felt that she was so weak and helpless...... At this time, the old mother suddenly strode in and said in a panic: "Yangyang, bad news! ”

I said, "Is there worse news than this?" ”

My mother said in despair: "I'm afraid this is ......"
