Chapter 222: Faithful to the Mission
After listening to Shui Lianyue's words, Zhuge Ling couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, the inner room was also quiet.
"We were just passing by for one night".
As soon as Shui Lianyue's voice fell, Hongying was slightly stunned, and the young lady was lying again, could it be that Master Zhuge couldn't be trusted? The young lady clearly said that she would temporarily live in seclusion in Baixian County, and wait until the two armies went to war, and then decide according to the situation.
"In that case, let's live here, if there is any situation, it is good to have a response", Zhuge Ling originally wanted to say something, but Shui Lianyue's abnormality was seen by him, she was a sensitive person, maybe it was the conversation with Shui Yunsleeve just now that made her have a trace of suspicion, but, even so, he must not be exposed.
That night, they rested in the side room, but there was no longer much conversation between them and Zhuge Ling.
At night, the cold wind whistling in, making the walls faintly ventilated, the doors and windows creaking, and the red candles kept shaking.
Hongying used iron chopsticks to pick up the black charcoal and put it in the charcoal basin, because there was wind in the house, and the charcoal basin could not burn vigorously.
"Hongying, are you blaming me"? Shui Lianyue was wrapped in a quilt, half leaning on the head of the bed, a faint melancholy welled up in her phoenix eyes, and she looked at Hongying and asked.
Hongying was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled slightly: "No."
Shui Lianyue knew that she must have thought too much, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "I know your thoughts, it's just, don't you think what Master and Shui Yunsleeve said just now is very strange?" Moreover, when I saw Master this time, although Master was still Master, it was not as natural as before, and I always felt that something was different."
"What's the difference"? Hongying put down the iron chopsticks and hurriedly got into the quilt, Shui Lianyue tightened the corners of the quilt for her, looked at her and continued.
"Shui Yunchong said that she can't live peacefully with me, because I am hers and, Master's eyes, he looked at me with a look of meeting his beloved, which he had never seen before."
"Beloved"? Hongying suddenly opened her mouth when she heard this, "Miss, you, why do you think so"?
Shui Lianyue carefully recalled the scene when the master looked at herself, she guessed correctly, yes, it was a kind of look that would only be revealed when she met her beloved, to be exact, it was a look of love to the extreme, after all, she had really loved someone, so she knew what that kind of look represented.
"Miss, please forgive Hongying, have you become too sensitive after going through so much?"
Shui Lianyue moved and lay down, sighing: "Maybe it's really me thinking too much."
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Zhuge Ling would show her that kind of look.
The night is like a thick inkstone, the cold wind still does not stop, continues to howl, in the courtyard that is not spacious, there are two black shadows, one of the black shadows, staring intently at the candlelit window, his eyes exude brilliance, with a faint smile, and he lowered his voice and said: "I finally found her."
Another black shadow also took the opportunity to look over, "Master, why don't you go and see each other"?
The black shadow shook his head: "It's inevitable to see each other, it's just."
Is the master afraid that she will not be able to accept the facts? The master underestimated her."
"Is it"?
The wind blew the sound away, and the two black shadows did not stay for long, but disappeared in an instant.
Zhuge Ling waited for the two black shadows to leave, then opened the door and walked out, looking in the direction where the black shadows disappeared, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was extremely deep.
In the early morning of the next day, Shui Lianyue and Hongying said goodbye to Zhuge Ling, Zhuge Ling did not stop them, and let them go, but their eyes were more profound.
The war is imminent, from Yingdu to Jinxu Kyoto, it is necessary to pass five passes and kill six generals, these five counties have been changed by Nangong Ling, except for Nanyang County and Luchang County, these two counties are after Yingdu, Nangong Ling wants to clean, must pass Guò Yingdu, but, Nangong Yu's fortification is quite tight, so that Nangong Ling's people can not pass Guò at all.
The six cities are adjacent to each other, and as long as you take the ancient city of Huai, you can go straight to Jinxu Kyoto in one go.
What made Nangong Yu a headache was that Huai Gucheng led the troops by Jiao Guanghai, the Black Dragon Iron Cavalry Captain.
Jiao Guanghai once fought side by side with Nangong Yu, although the friendship was not deep, but they lived and died together, which was even more difficult to give up than ordinary friendship.
Xiao Tian did send someone to test Jiao Guanghai's meaning, at first, Jiao Guanghai said that he would consider it, and he would send someone to inform the result on the set day, but I don't know why, on the set day, Jiao Guanghai did not send someone to deliver the letter, but the person who came was Zhongcheng, the servant of the military department.
He told Xiao Tian that Jiao Guanghai would not defect to King Yu, because his family was summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager Yizhi and never came out again.
"Originally, I shouldn't have told you this, I should repay the kindness you once helped me", Zhong Cheng turned around and left when he left, but when he left, he secretly left a letterhead, on which the words Prince Yu personally opened.
Xiao Tian didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent someone to send the letterhead to Yingdu overnight and handed it to Nangong Yu.
When Nangong Yu unfolded the letterhead, it was actually written by Jiao Guanghai to King Yu.
"I want me Jiao to fight the horse for half a life, loyal, in the end it's just that, although he is not a Ming Jun, but as long as he sits on the dragon seat of the court for a day, Jiao will swear to defend to the death, this is the blood oath of the black dragon iron horse, but also the mission of the black dragon iron horseman, when the prince saw this letter, Jiao had already led his troops to Huaigu City, Jiao never thought that one day he would face the prince with the prince, but, it backfired, Jiao's last word, the prince, cherish."
After reading the letterhead, Nangong Yu's slender fingertips trembled slightly, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and his dark blue eyes revealed endless desolation, Jiao Guanghai was a good general in the battle, resourceful, and extremely powerful, and he was a brother who had been born and died with him, but he had no idea of continuing.
In the sense of being in charge, at this time, he really wants to rebel, but in an objective sense, he is not wrong, in order to defend himself and avenge his mother, isn't he?
Each has its own difficulties and cannot be unified, so why continue to entangle?
Huai Gucheng, he is bound to take it, if Jiao Guanghai really gives up his life for Nangong Ling, he is only loyal to his mission.
The letterhead was tightly grasped by Nangong Yu, and when it was loosened again, it turned into powder with the wind.
"Lord, there is news of the princess", Qing Yuan waited for Nangong Yu to read the letterhead before walking in.
"Oh? Where is she"? When Nangong Yu heard this, his dark blue eyes instantly filled with a touch of brilliance.
Qing Yu hesitated for a moment, and looked at Nangong Yu without fear, "If the prince promises that his subordinates will not leave Yingdu, the subordinates will say, otherwise, even if the prince executes his subordinates, his subordinates will not inform him."
"You are so bold", Nangong Yu suddenly shouted when he heard this.
"Lord, Qing Yuan didn't mean to, but he didn't want the prince to take risks, Nangong Ling has been sending people to track down the whereabouts of the princess, if he knows, what kind of situation will be caused by the prince leaving Yingdu, the prince is afraid that he knows better than his subordinates, so, please think twice", as soon as the words fell, Qing Yuan suddenly knelt on the ground.
