Chengxiang Temple

"What did you say!?"

Princess Li Li of Changle stood up suddenly, and grabbed the arm of the maid in front of her with a nervous expression.

"Little Bean, don't lie to me! You just said, Ling Xian Ling Gongzi is him, he is him, he ran away from marriage!? ”

I saw the maid trembling and replied hesitantly.

"Male... Princess, the slave maid went to General Ling's mansion with your gift today, but I saw His Majesty and the eldest grandson standing outside the door. The slave and maid saw that they had been standing for a long time and did not go in, but..."

"Just what? Oh, say it! ”

"It's just that the slave faintly heard something, General Ling is gone."

Princess Changle couldn't be calm anymore, so she hurriedly let go of the maid, lifted her skirt, and ran towards Li Er's imperial study.

……

Li Er is sitting in the imperial study at the moment to deal with official business.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Princess Li Lizhi of Changle rushed in quickly.

I saw her gasping for breath, picking up the water cup in front of Li Er, and drinking it all.

Li Er couldn't help but laugh, stood up, patted Princess Changle's back, and asked with a smile.

"What's going on? Who is it that makes our beauty like this? ”

Changle didn't mean to joke at all, and asked Li Er urgently.

"Father, I ordered my maid to give a gift to Ling Gongzi today, but I didn't see anyone, where did Ling Gongzi go? Isn't it...... Isn't it because he doesn't like Lizhi and left me alone? ”

Li Er suddenly realized and said.

"What is the matter with my Dao, there is no matter, Ling boy, he just went to the fiefdom to inspect it, my daughter, does he Ling Xian dare to dislike it? Relax your heart, that kid won't dare to give up on you, otherwise, I will break his legs! ”

Only then did Princess Changle put her mind at ease, and at the same time helped Ling Xian intercede.

"Father, Ling Gongzi also did it unintentionally, so don't blame him."

Li Er looked at Princess Changle with a black line on his face.

"Sure enough, the female university is not staying, and she has learned to turn her elbow outward before she gets married, if she really marries him, she can't help him get angry?"

"How can there be ......?"

Princess Changle blushed suddenly, but looked at Li Er worriedly.

"But father, although my daughter doesn't ask about court affairs, the cruelty of the Turks is often mentioned by the brothers and sisters of Wenxuan Pavilion, is it really no problem for Ling Gongzi to go to a place like Youzhou City alone?"

When Li Er heard this, he sighed heavily, and said worriedly.

"That's what I'm worried about, that kid is very blessed, I hope he can be safe this time!"

When Princess Changle heard this, although she was still worried, she had no choice but to retire first.

Day 3

Youzhou City

barrack

Ling Xian was holding two bags of millet exchanged from the system in his hand, holding a big spoon in his hand, and was boiling millet porridge in a large cauldron in the army.

The soldiers on the side looked at the cauldron with blank eyes, swallowing saliva from time to time.

You must know that this millet is a good thing, not to mention nourishing the stomach, the key is fragrant, and it can also fill the stomach.

This was when the Turks were invading the border, when had they seen so much millet in the military camp, so that when Ling Xian had just taken out this millet, everyone was excited.

I saw Ling Xian boiling porridge while saying to a person beside him.

"Ying Li, did I give you the bag of millet to the people?"

At this time, I saw a dark-skinned young man come forward and respond.

"Brother Ling, don't worry, the people in my family have all died in the war with the Turks, so naturally they know how bitter the people are, and the uncles of the soldiers also feel the same way, and they will not do anything to enrich their own pockets."

Ling Xian nodded and smiled at Ying Li.

"Plow, well done."

As soon as the words fell, the young man known as Ying Li shouted happily.

"Really!? That... Brother Ling, are you... Is it possible for me to follow you? ”

Ling Xian smiled and nodded.

This should be ploughed not very old, only ten years old, originally a child of a small village near Youzhou City, he was the only child in the family, his father followed the old Marquis Luo to the battlefield in the early years and lost his life, his mother was also sad and died, leaving him alone to Youzhou City, homeless, the day before yesterday was rescued by Ling Xian back to the barracks, and he has been pestering to follow him, Ling Xian had no choice but to ask him to do one thing, to send food to the people. I thought it would lead to chaos, but I didn't expect it to be really organized.

"Brother Ling, I don't have any skills, I'll run errands behind your ass in the future, right? Don't worry, if you let me go east, I will never go west, let me do this, I will never do that! ”

Ling Xian couldn't laugh or cry.

"You are still young, and you are going to be a soldier in the future, don't you want to avenge your father?"

Ying Li showed a confused look for the first time.

"Revenge? I... Can I? ”

"Absolutely!"

Ling Xian said with a smile.

"After this Turkic problem is solved, you will follow me and the old Marquis Luo back to Chang'an, I am familiar with General Cheng Yan Jin Cheng of Chang'an City, I can arrange for you to join the army and practice martial arts with him, and when you finish your studies, you can avenge your father and mother!"

Ying Li's eyes gradually became firm.

"Brother Ling, don't worry, when I get revenge after I finish my studies, I will go to be your guard!"

"Forget it, with your small body, you won't be able to beat me at any time."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers on the side started to coax.

"Ling Gongzi, your body is not very good."

"Ling Gongzi, we all know that you are talented, but what you said is too full."

"That's right, I think Ying Li, this kid has a good body and bones, and he is a martial arts material."

Old Marquis Luo on the side also cast a look at him.

Ling Xian was not happy all of a sudden.

"Hey, who do you look down on, I think I lived in the mountains at the beginning, it was the existence of a tiger that could fight with bare hands, and in the previous period in Chang'an, I tried my strength with Uncle Cheng Jin Cheng, and it was also better, how could I not beat this kid Ying Li."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers laughed.

"Ling Gongzi, have you beaten General Cheng?"

"This is too funny, Ling Gongzi, you are too much to brag."

"That's right, General Cheng, although we haven't seen it, we have heard of that reputation, Ling Gongzi, you said you can beat him? No one will believe this! ”

Old Marquis Luo also shook his head when he heard this.

Ling Xian was furious and said to one of the most courageous commanders in the barracks in front of him.

"Hey, you still don't believe it, what's inside, it's just you, yes, come here, let's fight the two of us!"

When the commander heard this, his mouth opened wide in disbelief, and he pointed his finger at himself, and then at Ling Xian.

"Me?"

"That's right, it's you!"

"Fight with you, Childe?"

"What are you talking about, just you, come here, fight with me!"

The commander looked around, only to see the soldiers looking at him gloatingly: Hehe, seeing that you usually train us so harshly, we will be punished.

The usual good brothers also stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder with a playful smile, and whispered in his ear.

"Quan Dajiang, you can ask for more blessings, when the time comes, you will grasp the severity, in case one accidentally hurts Ling Gongzi, you will wait to be beaten by the people of this Youzhou City."

Opening his mouth, Quan Dajiang walked in front of Ling Xian with a reluctant face, took a deep breath, and hugged his fists.

"Ling Gongzi, I'm offended."

Ling Xian listened and said impatiently.

"Come on, hurry up, I'm going to prove my strength today!"

Nodding, Quan Dajiang clenched his fists and struck at Ling Xian with a bang, only to see Ling Xian raise one foot and kick him hard in the chest.

Just listen to "Knock! With a bang, Quan Dajiang flew out and fell a few meters away.

"Goo."

Seeing this scene, the onlookers couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

it!

Ruthless!

Is it so ruthless!

Ling Xian put away his feet, put his hands behind his back, and once again made his signature gesture of looking up at the sky, and said with a full face.

"I've been low-key for so long, and I've finally been forced by you to reveal my housekeeping skills, okay! I'm in a showdown! Fighting is what I, Ling Xian, am best at! Today, what is the best counterexample, what is the purpose of training for us as soldiers? Is it to pretend to be forced? That has to be... Phew, it has to be! We practice martial arts to defend our family and country, not to make a splash here! ”

Hearing this, everyone was in awe.

It turned out that Ling Gongzi was not pretending to be forced, but to warn us that we should exercise more, no one is perfect!

"Ling Gongzi is deeply yin and righteous, I admire it!"

"Yes! There aren't many people like Ling Gongzi now! ”

"Ling Gongzi is both civil and military, it really makes me sigh and sigh with admiration, ashamed!"

Ling Xian's heart was not to mention how comfortable it was at this moment: Well, it felt really good to be patted on the back!

"Report!"

Just then, a soldier in sentry costume ran in outside the barracks.

"Speak!"

"Report to General Ling, the five hundred kilograms of gunpowder have all been buried, and they have been connected with the extra-long lead you gave, and they can be ignited just after the Turkic attack!"

"Good!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the people behind him.

"Come with me to check it out!"

When everyone behind him heard this, they were all excited, especially the soldiers who had never seen gunpowder, and they were eager to try it one by one.

In a few moments, the crowd came to the top of the wall.

Ling Xian took out a military telescope prepared in advance from his sleeve and looked at it.

Everyone was curious again at this time.

Old Marquis Luo asked first.

"Grandson, what is this?"

"Grandpa doesn't know, this is the boy's telescope, you look at these two little holes, just put your eyes on them, you can see things in the distance."

"Oh? Is it really that amazing? ”

"Won't you know if you see it for yourself?"

As he spoke, he handed the telescope in his hand to Old Marquis Luo.

Old Marquis Luo put the telescope in front of him according to the method Ling Xian said, looked at it fixedly, and suddenly his hand shook, and he almost didn't throw the telescope out.

"What is this? How did everything around you get so big in it? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Xian with a telescope, and couldn't help but be startled again.

Ling Xian took the binoculars and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, this telescope, the telescope, is naturally to look into the distance, you will definitely not be used to looking at it so closely."

As he spoke, he picked up the binoculars and looked again.

Old Marquis Luo suddenly became curious again, snatched the telescope from Ling Xian's hand, and looked into the distance again.

I didn't know it, but I was startled when I saw it, and things thousands of meters away suddenly became clear, and even the Turkic soldiers clearly appeared in front of them.

Old Marquis Luo was shocked, and he didn't care about studying the telescope in his hand, and hurriedly said to Ling Xian.

"Sun Tzu, do you think this is a Turkic soldier?"

Ling Xian also put away his smile when he heard this, took the binoculars, and looked at it seriously.

After a moment, he put away his binoculars and said to the sentry behind him who had just reported the news.

"The Turks have begun to send troops, and the soldiers can be notified to light the fuse!"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, he ran to the bottom of the wall.
