198. 198. Withdrawal of troops
"What's the matter?"
Gong Yuanhao was annoyed that there were so many cavalry in the siege of the city, and he was worried about his son's life and death, so his tone could be imagined, and naturally he frightened the spy who came to report the news, his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't stop trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time with his head down.
didn't hear the spies' reply, Gong Yuanhao couldn't help but be furious: "What happened?" ”
"Hui Wangye" This angry shout suddenly made the spies plop down and knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Yes, someone burned five or five grain and grass in our army!" ”
"What did you say?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard this, and they originally thought that it would be easy to capture Liyang County, which had weak military strength, and then it was inconvenient for the army to fight all the way and then supply grain and grass, so this time they set off and took away two-thirds of the grain and grass in Jiuyuan County.
Now that five places have been suddenly destroyed, it is equivalent to losing half of the grain and grass, and Jiuyuan County is now surrounded by regiments, and it is impossible to requisition grain and grass from other places, so what will they do in the future?
Gong Yuanhao was particularly shocked and incredulous, he was 100% sure that this was done by the Ninth Princess, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Princess would ruthlessly burn half of the grain and grass, and the Ninth Princess would really watch the people of Jiuyuan County starve to death in order to exterminate him? Or is there another plan?
At this time, a red Manzhu Sawa flower suddenly erupted in the sky above the west, and then the city gate of Liyang County suddenly opened, and Duan Fanghong and Lou Haiyang led the army to wave weapons and swarm out: "At the behest of the Nine Princes, those who abandon their weapons and surrender are not to blame in the past!" The high-pitched and loud voice resounded in the sky, shaking the sky and the earth.
Nine princesses? The ninth princess really came to Liyang County in person!
Half of the grain and grass were destroyed, and the group of blue-clothed knights were still killing their own soldiers like swords that had been hidden for thousands of years and finally saw the light of day, and everywhere they went, blood was splashed everywhere, no one stopped them, and the nine princesses of the West were about to arrive with countless blue-clothed knights, Duan Fanghong's army rushed out again, seeing that their own army had shown a rout under the attack from many sides, all the generals suddenly felt like fire, and they all turned their eyes to look at Gong Yuanhao.
"Lord Wang...... "If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid we will be wiped out!"
Seeing that countless of their own soldiers either died under the enemy's sword, or were so frightened that they abandoned their weapons and fled back, or surrendered on their own initiative, and the archers were also shot by the purple-clothed people and some unknown people one after another, it was obvious that this siege failed again, and Gong Yuanhao had to retreat even if he was angry and unwilling: "Mingjin retreats!" ”
The generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and hurriedly ordered the sergeants to protect Gong Yuanhao and evacuate quickly.
Glancing at the rebels fleeing like a tide, Duan Fanghong ordered the army to stand by, and then strode towards the group of blue-clothed knights who came from the west, and saluted respectfully to the beautiful and unworldly person at the front: "Ninth Princess, do you want to continue to pursue the rebels?" ”
"No need." In the past half a month, she has been galloping day and night, and after returning to China, she has been busy dealing with secret reports and layout plans from all over the country, Qingyun has never had a good rest, but at this moment her beautiful face is not half tired, but with an innate majesty and perseverance: "Go back to the city!" ”
Although Duan Fanghong had doubts, he didn't ask anything: "The last general will obey the order!" He turned around and ordered the soldiers to escort the surrendered troops back to the city.
And Lou Haiyang rushed to the group of blue-clothed knights, his eyes flickering with heat and inquiry, and Junyi's face couldn't hide the excitement.
He, like everyone else, thought that this group of cavalry should be borrowed from the Zhou Kingdom by the Ninth Princess, but now that he takes a closer look, they are clearly his own people, not to mention anything else, the knight in front of him who seems to be the leader, the person who killed the enemy most heroically before was his little Luo Haosheng.
It's just that I don't know when the Ninth Princess will train this cavalry?
However, the Jin State finally has its own cavalry, and judging from the combat effectiveness of these people just now, in time they will surely become an invincible elite army across the sand, so how can he, as a citizen of the Jin State, not be excited?
On the battlefield where rivers of blood flowed and mountains of bones flowed, the blue knights stood solemnly, both men and horses were so quiet that they didn't make a sound, but the fierce momentum and uniform posture really made it impossible to ignore their existence.
Luo Haosheng, like the other knights, turned a blind eye to the little surprised gaze, just quietly looked at the woman who changed their lives.
In this battle, they not only completed the task brilliantly, but also did not suffer a single casualty.
Looking at the group of people standing with the purple guards, dressed in different costumes, Qingyun smiled and said sincerely: "This palace represents the emperor and the court, as well as the subjects, thank you heroes for your great help!" ”
"The Ninth Princess is serious."
A middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a straightforward and free look clasped his hands into fists and saluted Qingyun: "It is the duty of the husband to protect the family and defend the country!" The grass people and others were originally the people of the Jin Kingdom, and they should actively assist the imperial court to exterminate the rebels, not to mention the orders of Mo Gongzi, and we were happy to obey the order. ”
After speaking, the man and everyone behind him bowed to Mo Xuan in unison, with a look of respect on their faces that was different from that of Qingyun.
They are all people in the rivers and lakes, and they should have obeyed the orders of the imperial court, but Mo Gongzi is kind to them, and Mo Gongzi is bold and righteous and has unfathomable martial arts, even if Mo Gongzi is not the leader of the martial arts alliance, but it makes them very self-confident and uninhibited.
Stretching out his hand and gently wrapping his hand around Qingyun's shoulder, Mo Xuan looked at everyone with a smile, and there was a different meaning in his indifferent tone: "In the future, the instructions of the Ninth Princess are the meaning of the next, and I hope that all friends will treat the Nine Princesses as if they were under the same in the future." ”
Everyone was stunned, and they all turned their eyes to look at the woman with a calm face beside Mo Xuan.
Although the nine princesses' pure, benevolent, fair and strict qualities have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past ten years, in the end, the noble status is also a female generation, which is out of reach for them in the martial arts, and since ancient times, the martial arts sect has not wanted to have anything to do with the people in the court, let alone the princess of a country.
What does Mo Gongzi mean by this?
The pitch-black eyes flowed between Qingyun and Mo Xuan, and Lou Haiyang's eyes were deep and bottomless.
He knew that the two of them had made a relationship in Beiyuan County, but it was a bit unexpected for him to talk about marriage so quickly, could it be that what happened to the two in Zhou Kingdom?
Ziyi Wei and Lan Yunqi always had calm faces, and they had no right to interfere in the private affairs of the Ninth Princess.
However, the middle-aged man who spoke just now quickly reacted, nodded to Qingyun friendlyly, and then looked at Mo Xuan and said with a smile: "Mo Gongzi and the Ninth Princess are talented and beautiful, it is really a match made in heaven, and the foolish brother wishes the two white-headed old men and will be united forever!" ”
"Thank you Brother Nangong for your kind words!" Mo Xuan's enchanting eyes flashed with brilliance, and his ordinary face was filled with a smile that was even more charming than the red lotus blooming: "When our husband and wife get married, we will definitely invite all friends to participate." ”
"Okay, Brother Xian's wedding, Brother Fool has come to congratulate me now, and when the time comes, I will have a drink with Brother Xian!" Nangong Junfei smiled heartily.
Mo Xuan smiled evilly: "Brother Nangong has spoken, and the younger brother will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman!" ”
Hearing this, everyone finally understood, so they all sent their blessings to the two with sincere smiles, no one cares about the marriage of the ninth princess today, will the emperor and the court allow them to participate in the martial arts?
Originally, Qingyun was still wondering why Mo Xuan was not mentally prepared at all for finding out the relationship between the two with these people at this time, but now that she saw and listened to these people who had respected her as Mrs. Mo, she understood Mo Xuan's good intentions.
Although the martial arts sect is not as strong as the imperial army, it is also a force that cannot be ignored, and some things that are inconvenient for the imperial army to come forward will also avoid unnecessary trouble, but the premise is that the person who can make them willing to obey orders must be strong enough, and Mo Xuan happens to have this ability.
Qingyun looked at everyone with a smile and said humbly: "This palace is still young, and I don't know the rules of martial arts very well, so I also ask you friends to do a lot of Haihan." ”
"Mrs. Mo killed me, waiting."
Everyone seems to have regarded Qingyun and Mo Xuan as one in their hearts, and they see that her eyebrows contain an elegant and elegant temperament, which makes people look respectful, and at the same time, there is a warm smile on her beautiful and vulgar face, and she is also a person who has advanced and retreated in the world, which makes people feel more friendly, so they all have a little respect: "In the future, if Mrs. Mo has anything to order, it is my duty!" ”
Mo Gongzi is discerning, and even the wife he chooses is so humble, polite and peerless.
"Thank you!" Qingyun nodded slightly and said, "You have worked hard for many days, please go back to the city first to rest, and you will inevitably have to bother you to help later." ”
Knowing that the rebels had not been eliminated, they really should not leave, so everyone nodded and returned to the city together.
Thoughtfully tightened Qingyun's cloak and hugged her whole person into her arms, Mo Xuan's low and warm voice was particularly charming and intoxicating: "Mrs. Mo, let's go back too, you haven't had a good rest for half a month, and your husband is very distressed to watch." There was undisguised tenderness and pleasure on his face, Brother Nangong, they really understood his mind too well, Mrs. Mo, well, not bad.
Looking up at the gradually darkening night sky, the cold moonlight and sparse stars lightly sprinkled the earth, Qingyun nodded: "Okay." Then he ordered the Purple Guards and Lan Yun to ride back to the city.
Lou Haiyang suddenly dodged in front of the two who were about to leave together, looked at the light cloud fox and asked: "The rebels have become a rout, why don't the nine princesses take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”
"They, after all, are the people of my Jin Kingdom!" Looking in the direction of the rebels' departure, the breeze was faintly mixed with the slightest sound, and the pupils of the light clouds were as deep as ink.
Lou Haiyang still couldn't understand what Qingyun thought: "Even so, the Ninth Princess can send someone to wait for the opportunity to capture Gong Yuanhao, why do you want to let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”
"Do you really think that all this is just Gong Yuanhao's ability?"
