Chapter 53: Weddings Become Funerals

"The Holy One has always said that there are no small things for the people, so you don't have to take it to heart. The saint is indeed a rare Ming monarch in a hundred years, and having a gentleman like this is the luck of our courtiers, and it is to serve his life well. ”

Last time, Hao Chu said that he could set up a team similar to the dark group, and Ruoxi took it to heart. I have followed Chu Haochu's shadow battalion in Lancheng, and his combat effectiveness is strong, and he has seen Chu Haochu's ability, so it is easier to start training. So after the two of them discussed, they finalized the specific training method.

I have to say that Haochu's training was very effective, and the progress of the shadow camp was obvious. In order to test the final training results, Haochu even deliberately pulled the army to the outskirts of the city, and there was a contest between the battalions. There was no doubt that the Shadow Battalion did not lose a single soldier and defeated the elites of the remaining four battalions of Red Flame.

Even Ruoxi himself has learned a lot of whimsical and eclectic tactics from Haochu.

"The generals of the Red Flame Army have eyes on the top of their heads. When Haochu first took over the shadow camp, there were still many people who were not convinced. Speaking of the past, Ruoxi's face couldn't help but smile, "He deliberately separated me, fought with those generals for a day and a night, and subdued people alive." He is such a gentle and elegant person, he used his hands mercilessly, beat these generals who are so arrogant on weekdays that their noses are blue and their faces are swollen, and they come to me to complain aggrieved. ”

Ruoxi and Haochu, the two became myths in the Liguo Army for a while. can be literate and martial, can go into battle to kill the enemy, and can plan in the rear, and the two have become the unique fairy couple in the limelight of the country. There were no elders above the two, and just when Nangong Chen was about to marry the two of them, the vassal countries on the northwest border suddenly became chaotic.

"Wait for me at home, and when I come back to marry you." Ruoxi originally wanted to go with her, but Haochu asked her to prepare for marriage at home, and when he returned triumphantly and made meritorious achievements, he came back to marry her.

"Okay, I'll wait for you! Be careful. Ruoxi knew that Haochu felt sorry for her. Hao Chu had long known the identity of Ruoxi's secret guard, knew that she had a secret wound on her body, and was worried that the northwest would be cold and cold, and Ruoxi would be uncomfortable.

It wasn't a large-scale war, but it was the death of the previous monarch, and the new monarch was unwilling to continue to submit to the Liguo, and it was just a small fight, and it didn't pose any threat at all. With Chu Haochu's ability, it was easy to solve this matter. So Ruoxi didn't worry too much.

Good news has already come from the front, and the army will soon return to Korea. Ruoxi looked at the red general's mansion in her eyes, and suddenly she was in a trance, as if through the layers of red veil, she saw Haochu lying in a pool of blood, shouting her name with difficulty.

Ruoxi's heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and it hurt and hurt. The feeling of uneasiness was rising, and I was so depressed that I couldn't breathe.

"Moze! Prepare the horses, hurry! Ruoxi kept convincing herself not to think and not to panic, but the closer she got to the border, the faster her heart beat and the more uneasy she felt.

"Chu Haochu, wait for me! If you dare to leave me, I will never forgive you in my life! Ruoxi rode the horse fast, and I don't know how many thousands of miles of horses died along the way.

In the northwest, a desolate land with withered grass.

The soldiers of the Red Flame Army looked at Ruoxi and walked over step by step, everyone bowed their heads silently, no one dared to look directly at Ruoxi's shadow, and no one dared to say a word.

"Where's Haochu?"

"I ask you what about Haochu!!

"Let Chu Haochu get out and see me!!"

This is probably the only time in Ruoxi's life that she yelled hysterically in front of the sergeants regardless of her image. She was afraid, afraid to hear the answer in her heart, despite the looks of these people, who had already told her.

"What about the corpses?" Ruoxi seems to accept this fact.

The person next to him pushed, and the deputy marshal stood up with difficulty. "General, we only found this, Chu Shuai," the deputy marshal took a deep breath before continuing, "Chu Shuai, Chu Shuai was trampled to death by ten thousand horses in order to cover his brothers, and his bones were gone. ”

Ruoxi's hands were shaking. This is what she gave to Haochu. People say that the gentleman wears jade. This piece of jade was tied to Haochu by herself, and Haochu joked at that time that the jade was in the people. But now, the jade is still there, but the people are gone.......

You said, when you were a child, you felt that you couldn't live anymore, so you looked up at the sky, and the tears would not stay, and your heart would not be sad. Chu Haochu, you are a big liar, why does Xi'er's heart still hurt so much.

Ruoxi hugged the jade left by Haochu and blew a cold wind all night.

The next day, she reappeared in front of everyone, as if nothing had happened, she was still the invincible General Anping - Ling Ruoxi, but it was just, Ling Ruoxi.

"Vice Marshal, haven't you already sent the good news to Kyoto? Why did it suddenly hand over again? ”

"General Qiyu, Chu," the deputy marshal was halfway through his words, and when he received a warning look from the person next to him, he swallowed it back, "We destroyed most of the main force of the Gaoshan Country, the commander died in battle, and the lord of the country also signed the edict of surrender." We are all ready to withdraw our camp and return to the court, but the country of Gaoshan has even hidden an elite army, ambushed in the pass. The terrain is narrow, and our soldiers are carrying bags and have difficulty moving, so they are almost passively beaten. ”

"General Chu asked the brothers to withdraw first, and then went in and out of the besieged brothers, exhausted, and in the end, they never came out again."

Ruoxi could clearly hear the sound of her heartbreak. Everywhere, Ruoxi's gaze swept over everyone in the big tent, Haochu really regarded them as brothers, so he would sacrifice his life to save them.

"Look at what you look like now, what it looks like to be downcast!"

"Cheer up, if you really take Chu Haochu as a brother, think about how to avenge him!"

"Go back and appease the emotions of the soldiers, destroy the Gaoshan Country, and avenge General Chu!"

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! Ruoxi's words completely ignited the hatred and morale in the hearts of the soldiers. Chu Haochu has been in the Red Flame Army for so long, from the initial disobedience, to the sincere convincing, and then to the current friendship of life and death, Chu Haochu has used his own ability to subdue these subordinates who used to be jealous of him.

Ruo Xizi carefully studied the information left by Haochu. The Alpine National Committee is not a strong opponent. Maybe it's just a struggle before dying. Ruoxi suspected that there might be a problem in this, but I don't know how many times I brushed this matter from beginning to end, and I didn't find a problem.

Haochu, wait for me and avenge you!

The Red Flame Army was still wearing the "Chu" flag, and the soldiers of the Red Flame Army once again went out under this banner. You said that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the country of Gaoshan thinks that you are dead, and I will use your name to scare them into!

As expected, the deterrent effect of this flag was far deeper than the fear brought about by the pressure of the 5,000-strong army.

"What did you say?" The little emperor of Gaoshan Country, listening to the report of the spies, was so shocked that he almost fell off the dragon chair. "Do you see clearly? Are you sure it's the Chu Banner? ”

"Your Majesty. The subordinates confirmed again and again that it was indeed the Chu Ziqi. Moreover, the army of Liguo did not look like a newly dead commander at all, the ranks were orderly, the morale was high, and no one was plain. ”

"Bang" The little emperor fell on the chair. "Report - Emperor Qi, Pingcheng missed."

"Report - Your Majesty, Loucheng missed."

"Report - Emperor Qi, Li, the army of Liguo has come to the city."

The mountain country was originally a small country, and the commander had just been killed in battle, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded. Not to mention the people who lead the troops to fight, even if it is a forced conscription, there is no one to fight. And Liguo, in order to avenge Haochu, all of them were red-eyed, killing people when they saw people, killing Buddha when they saw Buddha, killing all the way, like entering a no-man's land.

The little emperor didn't know how many envoys he sent out to submit the certificate of surrender, and he didn't have to wait until he saw the other party's commander, and he was thrown out of the camp even if someone brought the letter of state.

Ruoxi ordered the army to be stationed outside the capital of the Takayama Kingdom, and was not in a hurry to attack.

Hao Chu only brought a small number of people from the shadow camp over that day to ensure the smooth operation of the war. Now, Ruoxi is going to use this team that the two of them have personally trained to avenge Haochu.

The shadows of the twenty shadow battalions, taking advantage of the night, used flying hooks to sneak into the city. Before the guards of the city could react, they had already taken their lives.

For several days, the people in the capital of Gaoshan Country were panicked.

Several important ministers of the court were killed one after another in their homes, and each deceased left a note on his body. The pen is vigorous and powerful, and a line of words is written: Death to those who offend my country.

There is no doubt that the people of Liguo did it. But the question is, the gates have been closed, when did they enter the city? And how do you kill people invisibly in the heavy guards of various provinces?

Some of the officials who were born in the city strengthened their defenses, some moved to relatives' homes to take refuge, and some simply abandoned their official residences and hid in people's homes.

But no matter what, they can't get rid of the pursuit of Liguo, those who are hacked to death with knives, those who hang their bodies on the beams of the house, and those who are poisoned, the deaths are strange, without exception, they are all miserable.

There's only one left!

The Gaoshan Kingdom is now in the bag, and the Manchu officials are all dead, and they are powerless to resist. The Red Flame army has entered the city and taken over the city gates and military camps. Looking at the palace close at hand, the hatred in Ruoxi's heart grew like a wildfire.

"Everyone, stay put." Ruoxi entered the palace alone.

On that day, Ruoxi couldn't remember how many people he had killed. I only know that the sword in her hand has never stopped, and the blood on her hand has never dried up. Dressed in white, he has long been soaked in blood and can't see his original appearance, and he doesn't know if it's his own blood or the blood of the enemy.

It was also in this battle that the legend of Ling Ruoxi's jade-faced Rakshasa spread among countries.

That day, Ling Ruoxi also died with Chu Haochu, and the only one who was alive was General Anping, the god of war of Liguo.

Murong Changfeng only entered the Red Flame Army after Haochu's death and took over as the leader of the Shadow Battalion. These past events are taboos for Ruoxi, the taboo for the Red Flame Army, and even the taboo for the entire Liguo army. No one dared to mention it, and he never knew about it.

Changfeng suddenly wanted to know where this Chu Haochu was sacred, and he could actually let Ruoxi slaughter the Alpine Imperial City for him. He also wanted to see what kind of person could be worthy of a strange woman like Ling Ruoxi.

But now he feels more sorry for the person in front of him, he has always been the existence of God, protecting the peace of Liguo, who has ever understood the loneliness in her heart?

Changfeng tentatively wanted to reach out and wipe away Ruoxi's tears, but Ruoxi had already stood up by himself.

"Let's go." Changfeng withdrew his hand that had nowhere to put it, and looked at Ruoxi's still upright figure, as if nothing had happened just now.
