Chapter 56: The Dust (Part II)

"How did you lose Pingxiguan? Fang Qi is right, the set arrangement is not wrong, and the soldiers defending the city are also wrong, is it possible that the mistake is the nearly 1,000 ordinary people in Cangnan County? He Yan interrupted him coldly.

The soldier was speechless for a moment, then lowered his voice, and shouted with resentment and unwillingness: "The general has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights! When the city was broken, let me hurry to Beijing to report the news, and after speaking, I personally took 3,000 military horses to the northwest! Besides, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! ”

He Yan sneered, and his voice was suddenly cold: "The city is coming, and the city is about to die!" ”

Xingzhao stood outside the window lattice with his head down, listening quietly, and only a silhouette appeared on the window lattice of the main hall, which was He Yan's figure. The soldier could only be either kneeling or lying on his stomach. The rank of the sergeant sent to Dingjing to deliver the letter will not be too low, and there is no need to kneel when he sees Lin'anhou. Otherwise, the soldier has injuries on his body, and he can't stand at all

The little maids dressed in blue and blue gathered around the door curtain in twos and threes, squinting their eyes and peeking in secretly from the thin crack in the curtain, one against the other, covering their mouths and not daring to speak loudly, and reluctant to disperse.

"I can't forget the rules at night!" Lianrong stepped up to the crowd and raised her voice, "Do whatever you have to do!" Don't you have to be on duty all night! ”

The little maids shrank their heads and tightened their heads, and scattered out like birds and beasts, and heard the movement outside, and the sound stopped abruptly, and after a while, the white manager lifted the curtain and came out, and saw that the four girls were wearing a pink silk Su Luo Li shirt, and a white cloak on the outside, but the shoes were still wearing clogs in the house, and they couldn't help but be stunned: "It's so late, why are the four girls here?" ”

Xingzhao tightened the sable velvet cloak tightly wrapped around the placket. He poked into the courtyard again, and coughed lightly: "It's cool late at night in early spring." Can she go in and talk? ”

Manager Bai was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't dare to really leave the four girls in this courtyard. If it's really freezing and cold, the big lady won't settle it with him, and the old lady won't be able to please him. But what is discussed in it is a matter of life and death in the court

Taking advantage of the hesitation of the white manager, Xingzhao lifted the cloak, bypassed the white manager in small steps, opened the curtain with one hand "brush", and quickly turned the glass eight-color and Tilian large screen used as a partition, and as soon as he entered the inner hall, the soldier was paralyzed on the ground with a disgraced face, and a few blood stains could already be seen on the blue brick floor.

"Why are you here?" He Yan thought that the person who came was Mrs. Tai. But he didn't want the little daughter to come first, frowning and his voice became colder. But remembering Su Rili's leniency towards his youngest daughter, his tone softened a little, and he raised his voice to call Mr. Bai: "Take the fourth girl to Mrs., just to accompany Mrs." ”

Xingzhao first curtsied to He Yan, then squatted down, took out a handkerchief from the placket, and lightly wiped the soldier's bloody chest, and took a closer look. Only then did he find that there was a deep wound on his chest that showed bones. Xingzhao didn't study the wound, but he also knew that the wound was deep and narrow, and it must have been pierced by an arrow, and then the soldier pulled out the arrow by himself

The soldier's wound was struck by his hand. The nine-foot man gave a short "snort" with an obvious depression, which made Xingzhao's eyes suddenly red, but the little lady's childish voice was so peaceful that it made people feel at ease: "I am General Fang's niece." 'Fang Jiajun. Good son', there is no praise for you in Dingjing. ”

As soon as the words came out. Such an iron-blooded man's nose was sore, and he suddenly couldn't hold it anymore. Bumpy ride. The Tartar's hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, and if they are ambushed, they can only find the remnants of the cliff and walk in the rocks. No matter how painful the wound is, I dare not stop, because there are still brothers in the northwest who are spilling blood and desperately trying their lives, and there is also the general who is mixed in the barracks and drinks and eats meat with the lowest soldiers!

The old flesh of the wound is rotting, and the new flesh is growing, but nothing is more heart-wrenching than the previous moment. The nine-foot man wiped his face, struggled to get up, and wanted to bow down, choking up: "The 50,000 soldiers in the northwest are sorry for the people of Cangnan County, we are incompetent."

Xingzhao's tears fell down and pulled him straight away, preventing him from moving again.

He Yan's face was grim, he looked at his little daughter condescendingly, and when he heard 'General Fang's niece', his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Mr. Bai dusted off his sleeves and came in around the screen, and said straight in his heart, the four girls were not queued, but some people were queued.

Sure enough, listening to He Yan's calm voice, he patiently commanded again: "Lead the four girls to Madame, how can there be a little lady's family walking around at night!" ”

Xingzhao asked Lianyu to hold the soldier, got up, and saluted He Yan again, hung his head, put his eyes on the bat buckle at the placket, and said softly: "This adult is seriously injured, do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look first?" Hurry up and take care of the wound, and I can also hold up the strength to go with you to face the saint. ”

One word, two meanings.

He Yan heard the smell, stopped Manager Bai from stepping forward with one hand, and looked at his little daughter with a little ridicule. He is not in a hurry about the affairs of the Fang family, he and Fang Qi have always looked at each other, Fang Qi thinks he has a bitter face, and he thinks Fang Qi is vulgar and stubborn. The 50,000 people who attacked this time by the Tartars thought that all the young and middle-aged people in the Tatars were on it, and there were not many people in the Great Zhou, but there were the most people, and they were still confident in the wheel war, with many enemies and outnumbered enemies, so they dragged it out more, except for the other party's prayer that it was a matter of life and death, it didn't have much impact on other things.

It's just that Fang Qi was bitter, Pingxi Pass was not kept, and the Fang family's reputation for several generations was lost in his hands!

However, Ying Yiyi's delicate and resentful face appeared in his mind for no reason, and he remembered Fang's stupidity, cowardice, and dullness.

"The injury must be treated, stay in the house and heal it slowly. The imperial city has long been locked, and there is no precedent for our courtiers to knock on the palace door in the middle of the night. Since there is General Fang's letter, I can make it clear that I will go alone to face the saint tomorrow morning. He Yan said in a deep voice, his daughter, whose eyes were red and her face was red before they met, but her eyes were very bright, ordered for the third time: "Hurry up and take the four girls down!" ”

Manager Bai trembled and responded, and stepped forward to ask for Xingzhao.

Treat it slowly, and face the saint alone tomorrow morning!

The matter of the battlefield, racing against time, and every time a grain of sand is missed, it is a human life that is given up! Facing the saint alone, what can He Yan say if he wants to say it?

Xingzhao understood what He Yan meant, endured his anger, endured his sadness, straightened his waist, and looked up at He Yan. Others say that she is not like her blessed lady, but she is very much like her graceful father. Even He Yan Suri often said that her son is like an uncle, and her daughter is like a father, and she is treated with a little more tolerance that other children do not have.

is obviously a deep kinship, why do you have to go to a-for-tat situation!

"There must be no delay. One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion', this is the article of my father's brother who took the school examination. If a soldier is wounded, he can break the curfew in Dingjing City and knock all the way to the door of Hefu. The emperor is the king of Meiji, you are the minister of the humerus, and the loyal minister is the king of wisdom. You knocked on the imperial city for state affairs, and the emperor only praised you" Xingzhao put his hands in his robe, clenched into a fist, his heart was full of anger and sadness, He Yan eats soft and not hard, but it is useless to beg him for a person who is cold by nature.

He Yan raised his eyes, but his eyes fell on the pot of dwarf pines in Shu that were placed on the high table.

Xingzhao looked back at the soldier, Lianyu had already prepared warm water, and opened a cup of liquor from the small kitchen, cleaned the wound first, and then scalded it with the liquor. The soldier was in pain, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Uncle, mother, brother, Queen Fang, the faces of several people quickly crossed in front of them, and finally froze on the face of the mother who fell to the ground in pain in the dream.

Xingzhao stepped forward, with tears in his eyes, pulled He Yan's sleeve, and said mournfully: "In the previous dynasty, Song Zhizhi pointed at Renzong's nose and scolded, our He family is a noble who started by admonishment, we don't dare to knock on the imperial door, who else dares?" The soldiers broke the city at night to report the news, and Ming'er Quandingjing would know the details, and when the emperor asked, how should you answer? ”

These words were a bit heavy, and they went straight to He Yan's army.

Why did he not report it to the emperor when he learned about such a serious military situation in one night, but suppressed it? Deceive, conceal, or have other plans?

What He Yan is afraid of, what he is afraid of is losing his sacred heart and being suspicious!

"If the reinforcements go slowly, the danger of the general will be heavier. I can still hold on, I'll go with Master Hou! The soldier clutched his wounds and staggered to his feet.

Mr. Bai looked left and right, and finally sighed and stepped forward to support the soldier.

He Yan's heart turned a thousand times, Fang Qi took three thousand people to the northwest, what is the northwest? It's the old nest of the Tatars, the Tatars have even broken the Pingxi Pass, and they can still be afraid that others will send them to the door? If Fang Qi died on the battlefield, it would be worth the merits. But Pingxi Pass is broken, and someone must bear the responsibility. The only one who was angered by the emperor was Empress Fang, and as soon as Empress Fang fell, the Fang family really fell

Xingzhao said in a loud voice: "Uncle is the god of war in the northwest!" Unstoppable! Who can categorically say that my uncle has no chance to turn the tables! ”

When He Yan heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he was young, he and Fang Qi went to worship He Dashi who lived in seclusion on Li Mountain

"Since you can still hold on, let's enter the palace!" He Yan flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and didn't look into the room again, then got up and walked out.

Xingzhao pursed his lips and smiled lightly, turned around, and whispered to the soldier: "When you see the emperor, don't blindly praise your uncle, you must firmly remember that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." You are the emperor's soldier, take the emperor's salary, don't mention the Fang family's army, and don't respect your uncle too much. ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, leaned on the head of Bai, and followed with difficulty.

After a few people gradually moved away and couldn't see the figure anymore, Xingzhao's body became weak, and he collapsed on the small pestle.

In the past few days, after the rain, I can clearly see that in the boxy sky, there are stars, but there is no peace. (To be continued......)
